And oh, way we go. It's our number four, our
number four of the original Recipe podcast. We thank you
for being a loyal minion and continuing to support the
overnight show with limited commercial interruption. And you can fast
forward parts of the show you don't want. I'm not
(00:21):
supposed to say that, but if you're motivated, you can
do that. I think you should just listen to the
commercials and fast forward this part of the podcast. That's
what I think. But anyway, here in our number four,
buckle up, Bukaroo, is there something? Is there anything to
these now debunked Dak Prescott trade rumors? We'll discuss that. Also,
(00:44):
how would you translate brock Perties place in the NFL
quarterback pecking order? And what's really going on between the
Titans and cam Ward. We'll talk about all that and more.
Right now here it is our number four. Have a
wonderful Thursday, Enjoy opening day in baseball. Here it is
(01:10):
like red meat in the lions. Dend Well, come in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we
weld together in the darkness, coast, the coast, border, the
(01:33):
motor and beyond on the vast and dashingly powerful microphones
of FSR am monating live from the Smoker the Hot

think he's neighbors with Belichick. He lives in Chapel Hill,
big fan of tire Iraq and the over ten thousand

(02:19):
Show be so headline Redmeat, Lions, Dan the Wild rumor
de joor to feed the Beast. The twenty four hour
NFL news cycle comes out of Cleveland, a former sports
(02:40):
radio gasbag who is now a social media influencer dropping
a bomb on you regarding the Browns and the Cowboys
having discussions and working on the outline of a trade
that would send Dakota Prescott to the Mistake by the Lake. So,
(03:01):
I don't know if you saw this or not. Maybe not.
This thing went around and by the time I woke up,
it had already been debunked or somewhat debunked. The reports
were bouncing around that the teams were engaged in talks
and very dramatic Shakespearean drama, and then state funded NFL network,
(03:27):
the prov of the news service of the National Football League,
reported that they had two sources because they worked for
the NFL, that claimed it was fake news and that
Dak Prescott will absolutely not be headed to northern Ohio.
So let us discuss the question, even though that trade
(03:50):
was debunked for now by state funded NFL media, is
there something to Dak Prescott trade rumors? Now, this one's
been debunked, But is there something with Dak Prescott and
a trade that is possible? So I've got Disney, the
(04:10):
Beg's and Electrician and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to recharge your batteries.
I know, how nice is that? And then we'll make
a banana cream pie. We'll have some gaba ghul and
all that. Yeah, all right, So to kick off this hour,
to answer the question, is there's something to the Dak
(04:33):
Prescott trade rumors? I am nodding my head, Yes, I
am nodding my ears. Now not to Cleveland, per se,
not to Cleveland, Dak. I believe it's salary cap number,
and I'm a salary cap truther, but his salary cap
numbers like fifty three million. Cleveland is already paying Deshaun
Watson to not play thirty seven million. So using my
(04:56):
malor math, that would be a total of ninety million
dollars for the quarterback position, which I don't think is
a lot. Even with the salary cap being something you
can manipulate, I'm pretty sure methinks you can't manipulate it
that much. Nevertheless, Dak's name is out there, it's being
(05:20):
talked about, it's being floated in private signal group chats.
And here's why, right, you have the public private economy.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Publicly, the Cowboys love Dak Prescott. That's my quarterback, man.
They jump up and down raw Rod, Dak. We can't
get it and we'd love you, Dak, oh man, they can't
get enough. And privately, you have a more nuanced approach
with every one of these players.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Executives love to dismiss hypotheticals. Now. Back in the day,
when I was in locker rooms and interviewing athletes and
coaches and executives. Anytime you would bring something up that
hadn't happened yet, they would lose their mind and say, well,
I don't talk about hypotheticals. Well, all I do as
(06:08):
a talk show host is talk about hypotheticals. And what
they do behind the scenes is talk about hypotheticals. Every man, woman,
and child knows this. They are the secret spice that
eventually leads to a trade. Now that it's like planting
a seed. Now not everything your plant's going to grow
up and be great, but you plant the seed and
(06:30):
some of that turns into a trade. You have to
work as a Disney imagineer imagining, if you will, different scenarios,
all of them possible outcomes to be explored. So you
have those what ifs. You have to evaluate the what ifs,
contingencies assessed as well. All of that. You're got to
(06:53):
see all the different possibilities and whatnot. And now, what
is my ownis the Dallas map I know it's a
basketball team. Just bear with me. If you had gone
up to Nico Harrison Jason Kidd, the owner of the Mavericks,
and said, hey, there's this hypothetical trade. It's not really
(07:16):
a trade. You'll just give Luka Donzik away for some
moldy brand. And they said, well, I don't talk about that,
but we would never do that. That's the most absurd.
What are you a sports talk radio person? What's wrong
with you? They would say, all right, So anyway, that's it.
I now page number two. Can I get a number?
(07:36):
Where's the Lepreka? Number two? All right, So to the
Bay Area we go. Forty nine Ers quarterback brock Perty.
Now he does not have a new contract, so calm down,
Lance the bus driver, Mason, the Millennial, and all your
other knuckleheads. So brock Party does not have a new deal. However,
(07:58):
there's some new reporting out that says he is unlikely
to usurp Dakota Prescott, the aforementioned Dakota Prescott and his contract,
which is a I believe still the record at sixty
million dollars per year. So the way it's been passed
on to us, and this comes from a man that
(08:20):
enjoys a nice latte and a verbal disagreement at a Starbucks,
mister Schultz. So the forty nine ers are actively negotiating
an extension and they're trying to get this done. I
don't know what the problem is. If somebody wants to
pay me the amount of money that he's going to
be paid, I think you'd get that done one right.
But the contract is supposed to be fifty to fifty
(08:42):
five million for brock Purty. Oh my oh man, yeah,
fifty to fifty five million. So how do you translate
brock Purty's place in the NFL quarterback pecking order? Realizing
that he has not signed the contract. We don't know
the numbers. It's just in the negotiation phase. So we're
(09:05):
gonna try to get out in front on this and
then hit on all cylinders. So it's like a beg
sung When I look at brock Purty, he's the man
in the middle, meaning if you look at the the
totem pole of quarterbacks, the ones at the very top
(09:25):
that are show boating because they're so good, and then
the ones at the bottom that are riding the vomit comet,
and then in the middle, the man in the middle,
like brock Purty. He's the new Kirk Cousins. He's Jared
Goff is what he is, and pretty benefited from what's
known as the Alice in Wonderland syndrome that objects are
(09:48):
smaller than they appear. Sometimes objects are bigger than they appear.
And brock Purty played at a very efficient level to
begin and this is like a bit of a contradition because, well,
he played, well, you are what your numbers say, you
are okay. But Kyle Shanahan, while his team's generally choking
big games, they put up good numbers. He's got a
(10:10):
very quarterback friendly offensive system. And when brock Purty had
Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle and Deebo Samuel and they
were all healthy, brock Purty was putting up numbers that
had him in the conversation for MVP. Well, Deebo Samuel's gone,
McCaffrey's back to getting hurt, and George Kittle's old. And
(10:30):
so that inflated perception of his ability is a dated perception.
And as we saw last season, when the forty nine
ers were ravaged by injuries, they were left for dead.
And at that point the Niners said, we need brock
Purty to play just a little bit better, We need
(10:50):
him to step his game up. And brock Purty, he
bent over and he vomited on the field. His completion percentage,
his yards per attempt declined. Brock Party is a Jared
Goff type game manager, the kind of guy that you
think is all right, and then at some point you
(11:12):
know they'll be a glitch. The thing of a jig's
not gonna work, the wheels are gonna come off, and
you're done, and it's this stupid cat and mouse game.
And as a backer of the Rams, I hope the
Niners lock up Rock Party because it's not gonna end
very well. It's not. And I know Terry and England
(11:34):
and these other dopes, they're like, oh, no, you're wrong, Mether,
you don't do I'm not. He's not a game changer.
He's not someone that transcends whatever situation he's in. And
so he's a mid level doesn't have a great particular
arm per se, and doesn't do anything if the play's broke. Hey,
(11:56):
they circle the drake, is what I'm trying to say.
They're in the mud all right. Now, last thing where
Mahomes or regular season Lamar Jackson or regular season Josh
Allen will make something happen. Now to the NFL Draft.
We are less than thirty days away from the draft.
Can I get a hallelujah. We are less than thirty
(12:17):
days away from the NFL Draft. Now there is chatter, chatter, chatter,
chatter that the forty nine ers opponent, I think they're
playing the Titans this year. I want to tie this
all together. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but the Tennessee Titans,
who who don't have a quarterback, and they were so bad,
they got a lucky break. A couple of teams won
(12:40):
games late in the year that weren't supposed to win games,
and so the Titans ended up Tennessee ended up with
the number one overall pick, right there at the top.
And it has become in recent days a rumble in
the insider jungle where people said, well, it's going to
be cam Ward. Cam Ward, the Miami quarterback is going
(13:03):
to be picked at the very top of the draft. However,
there are reports out of Nashville saying that while cam
Ward is likely the number one pick, the Niners are
nighters the Titans. The Titans are expected to listen to offers, right,
(13:24):
listen to offers for that top pick. However, right however,
the report and Adam Schefter and some of the other
weasels are throwing this out there that it would take
an even stronger package to acquire cam Ward. All right,
so what's really going on? What's really going on here
(13:46):
with the Tennessee Titans and cam Ward? So what we
have here is a failure to communicate. We have mixed
messages which I believe are intentional, right, contradictory statement. You've
got the Tennessee Front Office, the GM there who's working
as an electrician crossing the wires, a bad electrician crossing
(14:10):
the wires, and Tennessee's looking to spark a bidding war.
You know it, I know it. Everyone knows they're trying
to sell cam Ward. That they have these puppy dog
eyes and they're going gaga for the player. But here's
(14:31):
the problem, right, They're trying to get the Browns and
Giants worked up into a lather, getting them all horny
for cam Ward. Here's the issue. If this guy was
a generational transcendent talent, and you have the number one
tick and you don't have a quarterback, the guy you
have a quarterback eats Mayo and sells Mayo, and he
loves Mayo, and he's more known as the Mayo guy
(14:53):
than anything else. So if that's the case, and cam
Ward is that good and you're building him into this amazing, omnipresent,
all powerful, all knowing figure. You would never trade him,
you would never do it. And so the reality is
cam Ward, as we have been saying, has a large,
soft underbelly. And it's not Miss Sunshine all the time.
(15:18):
There's a lot of dumb and gloom and all that.
And it's not like dollar for dollar, you're getting a
guy to just give another billion dollar contract to because
he can be there forever. Now maybe he'll make it
and turn out to be good. He's not a transcendent talent.
He's not generational. And in a normal year he would
be a second round pick or a late first round pick,
(15:41):
and because quarterbacks are always overdrafted, he's looking at being
the number one pick. The Titans are trying to take
advantage of this neurosis involving quarterbacks, and they want the bag,
They want the bag of goodies? And will they get it?
Will they sucker with skulduggery one of these other teams
(16:02):
to trade them a bunch of picks. We'll see about that.

don't interact with him. I don't care. I think it's
kind of amusing that he coached like the worst team
in college basketball. I think it's kind of amusing. Let's
go to Blind Scott, who's on the north end of Boston.
Blind Scott sent me an email complaining about all the
radio people taking time off. He's annoyed by this. He
(24:44):
says it's messing up his calling to different radio shows.
Is that accurate, Blind Scott?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Oh yeah, Like I really think people have lives outside
the radio that work on these shows. And I'm bothering
these hosts like they have keen ages and stuff that
are going to graduate high school kids trying to perform
at like high levels at private.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Schools or whatever.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
And then Blind scotts him like thirty mils today trying
to get on their show. And I realized, like, you know,
I have good material. I got to put it on
the air somewhere, you know what I mean, Like slob,

move on from me. Let's say hello to Bob in Cleveland.
Who is next? Hello, Bob? What's going on? Bob? Welcome? Hi?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Bet?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Bob? If I was any better, I would be a Brown,
but not a Cleveland Brown because you know.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Hopefully without the ex prescott. But anyway, you had a
caller on that as a Dodger fan, and he explained
rather kind of lamely about the committed bounce text that
the pirates got over two hundred million dollars from this arrangement,
and he's wrong. JJ Cooper the Baseball America wrote or
(28:35):
very lengthy article about the difficulty some of these smaller
market teams have even competing today, and you pretty much
had to be a billionaire to run one of these clubs.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Now, yeah, okay, well what's what's the problem though? If
you why don't you draft well? And there are ways.
Tampa Bay doesn't spend any money. They've been a consistent
playoff team. They made a World Series one.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
That's one of the things that these teams need to do.
I'm not backing the Pirates on They're horrible drafting over
the years.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, but I get annoyed when people call up and
there they want to defend crap bag franchises. They have
owners that a lot of these owners just keep they
make you make a lot of the Pirates make a
lot of money. You don't think the Pirates and the
Marlins and the Athletics are making a lot of dollars.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Read the article by J. J. Cooper.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
The Pirates lost two million dollars last year even with
their craft roster.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
You know how it works. You know how this works.
You understand, like the projection is, Hey, the Pirates say
we're going to make ten million dollars this year. We
only made eight million. We lost two million based on
our project. That's with a number one. If you think
the whole, if you think the Pittsburgh Pirates, if you think,
I don't know who that is, I know that guy.
(29:50):
I don't know that guy from Lampost.
Speaker 10 (29:52):
But if you think the Pirates, if you think the
Pirates are losing money, how come every time a baseball
team go for sale there's fifty billionaires line up to
buy them, even the suck franchises, and they're nobody's going
to do that.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
They're losing money. Why would they do that? It makes
no sense.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
With the Boston Celtics, the Boss and Celtics won the
NBA title last year. His skyrocket is And what did
they have to do? What did the owners have to do?
They had to sell the team?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Well they didn't. They didn't have to sell the team.
They chose to say they didn't because they didn't sell.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
So the cost to own it is just too high.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
All right. Again, here's the problem, and that's why. And
I love you. You're believing a lot of the craft
that you're being told. I don't believe it. I think
it's not I think it's not.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Part of the giants.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
It's it's a it's a way that it's a money grab.
You sell as long as you're in control. It's not
because they're short on money. They they're not making as
much as they used to. If you win, you make
more money. Okay, But you can make a lot of
money as bad team. And uh, I mean, listen, I
don't know how else to tell you, but there's a
(31:06):
lot of money to be made owning a bad team.
And you get the television revenue, you get the merchandise,
it's television revenue.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
I'm not going to descend the Pirates. The Pirates are
a horrible franchise. I'm not going to defend the Pirates.
But you can't compare the New York Yankees TV revenue
to the Pittsford Pirates.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
You just can't.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Okay, all right again, we disagree. You think you think
that all these give me the list of baseball teams
that have gone bankrupt because they can't compete financially. There
has there ever been has there ever been a in
modern times? Has there been a baseball team that has
gone bankrupt because there they just can't compete with the
Dodgers and the Yankees and all that. Owning a team.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
When loans out so they don't go bank.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Okay again, Uh it is. It's like having an ATM
machine when you own even a bad you know, small
market team whatever. Yeah, it's a license to run a
business that allows you to pocket millions of dollars in
passive income. And you just put your hands and I
can't compete.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
You get in short, like the competitive the CBA expires
in twenty six.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
You'll probably be a big work stoppage and there'll be
holy hell and all that. The teams like the Pirates
and the complain and I gotta I gotta leave it there, Bob.
But thank you call anytime. I don't care, I can,
I can spa back and forth. We can go about that.
But yeah, uh listen, these teams, Oh we're feeling the
(32:34):
budget squeeze and all that. Well, yeah, you're you're counting pennies,
is what you are. But there's a lot of rich
guys that are tight wads when it comes to these
sports teams, and and there's a lot of fans that
buy everything they're told and never use any creative thinking
(32:55):
shall we say or or ask any questions like is
that really what's going on here? Yeah? Anyway, all right,
it is the Ben Malors Show. Let's say hello to
Jed who fled, and we do have coming up in
a little bit, we're going to have fact or fiction.
By the way, the most expensive, Jed, Do you know
the most expensive opening day ticket on the secondary market today? No,
(33:16):
you don't. It's the Giants and the Reds in Cincinnati.
One hundred and eighty nine bucks for the Giants and Reds.
These Tigers, Tigers, Tigers, and Dodgers. Second most expensive on
the secondary market one hundred and thirty eight bucks, and
(33:37):
the cheapest is the Blue Jays. It's like twelve years. Yeah,
this is the part you talk.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
I'm starting to say, speaking of finances by low and
sale high does not mean stale make a sale while
under the employment of hard narcotics, because I'm usually I
take losses for sure that way. Well, dude, all right there, stunning,
stunning right there, Ron Scott Doron Scott. He doesn't want
to acknowledge that our normal people doing normal things in
(34:08):
normal life, and that's going to make the show occasionally.
But yeah, we'll freak out if you don't acknowledge that
he's a woman, which he's not. It teches any communions
and so what what are good? That's why?
Speaker 5 (34:18):
That's life right there, dude?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Why alf of that?
Speaker 7 (34:20):
If you if you'd be any person, Scott, I guarantee
I would accept your gear a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Do that about it?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
All right? Thank you? Let's sell on a cowboy. John
brad and Windsor, Ontario, a fine Canadian lad.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Oh well, well, one of my longest friends, the longest
spending Bob the tomsk you died on Sunday, is being
buried today, yes, oh, thank you. Yesterday Diana Ross was
eighty one country singer and songwriter Dean Dillen with seventy
(34:53):
tomorrow will be a much more famous country singer and
songwriter who will be seventy and Jim Win the sixties
and seventies slugger who should be in the Hall of
Fame five years ago yesterday, two weeks after turning seventy eight,
and see Bob knsas was seventy three last Saturday. Also,
(35:15):
I think the Tigers will won the American League Central
this year and probably one round of the playoffs before
losing the second round like they did last year. Of
course they did they didn't win, of course the American
League Central last year, but I think something like ninety
and seventy two this year. Also I mentioned it up. Okay, anyway,
(35:39):
you've got to be a boy, to be a cowboy,

Good job by you.
And oh, way we go. It's our number four, our
number four of the original Recipe podcast. We thank you
for being a loyal minion and continuing to support the
overnight show with limited commercial interruption. And you can fast
forward parts of the show you don't want. I'm not
(00:21):
supposed to say that, but if you're motivated, you can
do that. I think you should just listen to the
commercials and fast forward this part of the podcast. That's
what I think. But anyway, here in our number four,
buckle up, Bukaroo, is there something? Is there anything to
these now debunked Dak Prescott trade rumors? We'll discuss that. Also,
(00:44):
how would you translate brock Perties place in the NFL
quarterback pecking order? And what's really going on between the
Titans and cam Ward. We'll talk about all that and more.
Right now here it is our number four. Have a
wonderful Thursday, Enjoy opening day in baseball. Here it is
(01:10):
like red meat in the lions. Dend Well, come in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we
weld together in the darkness, coast, the coast, border, the

(02:19):
Show be so headline Redmeat, Lions, Dan the Wild rumor
de joor to feed the Beast. The twenty four hour
NFL news cycle comes out of Cleveland, a former sports
(02:40):
radio gasbag who is now a social media influencer dropping
a bomb on you regarding the Browns and the Cowboys
having discussions and working on the outline of a trade
that would send Dakota Prescott to the Mistake by the Lake. So,
(03:01):
I don't know if you saw this or not. Maybe not.
This thing went around and by the time I woke up,
it had already been debunked or somewhat debunked. The reports
were bouncing around that the teams were engaged in talks
and very dramatic Shakespearean drama, and then state funded NFL network,
(03:27):
the prov of the news service of the National Football League,
reported that they had two sources because they worked for
the NFL, that claimed it was fake news and that
Dak Prescott will absolutely not be headed to northern Ohio.
So let us discuss the question, even though that trade
(03:50):
was debunked for now by state funded NFL media, is
there something to Dak Prescott trade rumors? Now, this one's
been debunked, But is there something with Dak Prescott and
a trade that is possible? So I've got Disney, the
(04:10):
Beg's and Electrician and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to recharge your batteries.
I know, how nice is that? And then we'll make
a banana cream pie. We'll have some gaba ghul and
all that. Yeah, all right, So to kick off this hour,
to answer the question, is there's something to the Dak
(04:33):
Prescott trade rumors? I am nodding my head, Yes, I
am nodding my ears. Now not to Cleveland, per se,
not to Cleveland, Dak. I believe it's salary cap number,
and I'm a salary cap truther, but his salary cap
numbers like fifty three million. Cleveland is already paying Deshaun
Watson to not play thirty seven million. So using my
(04:56):
malor math, that would be a total of ninety million
dollars for the quarterback position, which I don't think is
a lot. Even with the salary cap being something you
can manipulate, I'm pretty sure methinks you can't manipulate it
that much. Nevertheless, Dak's name is out there, it's being
(05:20):
talked about, it's being floated in private signal group chats.
And here's why, right, you have the public private economy.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Publicly, the Cowboys love Dak Prescott. That's my quarterback, man.
They jump up and down raw Rod, Dak. We can't
get it and we'd love you, Dak, oh man, they can't
get enough. And privately, you have a more nuanced approach
with every one of these players.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Executives love to dismiss hypotheticals. Now. Back in the day,
when I was in locker rooms and interviewing athletes and
coaches and executives. Anytime you would bring something up that
hadn't happened yet, they would lose their mind and say, well,
I don't talk about hypotheticals. Well, all I do as
(06:08):
a talk show host is talk about hypotheticals. And what
they do behind the scenes is talk about hypotheticals. Every man, woman,
and child knows this. They are the secret spice that
eventually leads to a trade. Now that it's like planting
a seed. Now not everything your plant's going to grow
up and be great, but you plant the seed and
(06:30):
some of that turns into a trade. You have to
work as a Disney imagineer imagining, if you will, different scenarios,
all of them possible outcomes to be explored. So you
have those what ifs. You have to evaluate the what ifs,
contingencies assessed as well. All of that. You're got to
(06:53):
see all the different possibilities and whatnot. And now, what
is my ownis the Dallas map I know it's a
basketball team. Just bear with me. If you had gone
up to Nico Harrison Jason Kidd, the owner of the Mavericks,
and said, hey, there's this hypothetical trade. It's not really
(07:16):
a trade. You'll just give Luka Donzik away for some
moldy brand. And they said, well, I don't talk about that,
but we would never do that. That's the most absurd.
What are you a sports talk radio person? What's wrong
with you? They would say, all right, So anyway, that's it.
I now page number two. Can I get a number?
(07:36):
Where's the Lepreka? Number two? All right, So to the
Bay Area we go. Forty nine Ers quarterback brock Perty.
Now he does not have a new contract, so calm down,
Lance the bus driver, Mason, the Millennial, and all your
other knuckleheads. So brock Party does not have a new deal. However,
(07:58):
there's some new reporting out that says he is unlikely
to usurp Dakota Prescott, the aforementioned Dakota Prescott and his contract,
which is a I believe still the record at sixty
million dollars per year. So the way it's been passed
on to us, and this comes from a man that
(08:20):
enjoys a nice latte and a verbal disagreement at a Starbucks,
mister Schultz. So the forty nine ers are actively negotiating
an extension and they're trying to get this done. I
don't know what the problem is. If somebody wants to
pay me the amount of money that he's going to
be paid, I think you'd get that done one right.
But the contract is supposed to be fifty to fifty
(08:42):
five million for brock Purty. Oh my oh man, yeah,
fifty to fifty five million. So how do you translate
brock Purty's place in the NFL quarterback pecking order? Realizing
that he has not signed the contract. We don't know
the numbers. It's just in the negotiation phase. So we're
(09:05):
gonna try to get out in front on this and
then hit on all cylinders. So it's like a beg
sung When I look at brock Purty, he's the man
in the middle, meaning if you look at the the
totem pole of quarterbacks, the ones at the very top
(09:25):
that are show boating because they're so good, and then
the ones at the bottom that are riding the vomit comet,
and then in the middle, the man in the middle,
like brock Purty. He's the new Kirk Cousins. He's Jared
Goff is what he is, and pretty benefited from what's
known as the Alice in Wonderland syndrome that objects are
(09:48):
smaller than they appear. Sometimes objects are bigger than they appear.
And brock Purty played at a very efficient level to
begin and this is like a bit of a contradition because, well,
he played, well, you are what your numbers say, you
are okay. But Kyle Shanahan, while his team's generally choking
big games, they put up good numbers. He's got a
(10:10):
very quarterback friendly offensive system. And when brock Purty had
Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle and Deebo Samuel and they
were all healthy, brock Purty was putting up numbers that
had him in the conversation for MVP. Well, Deebo Samuel's gone,
McCaffrey's back to getting hurt, and George Kittle's old. And
(10:30):
so that inflated perception of his ability is a dated perception.
And as we saw last season, when the forty nine
ers were ravaged by injuries, they were left for dead.
And at that point the Niners said, we need brock
Purty to play just a little bit better, We need
(10:50):
him to step his game up. And brock Purty, he
bent over and he vomited on the field. His completion percentage,
his yards per attempt declined. Brock Party is a Jared
Goff type game manager, the kind of guy that you
think is all right, and then at some point you
(11:12):
know they'll be a glitch. The thing of a jig's
not gonna work, the wheels are gonna come off, and
you're done, and it's this stupid cat and mouse game.
And as a backer of the Rams, I hope the
Niners lock up Rock Party because it's not gonna end
very well. It's not. And I know Terry and England
(11:34):
and these other dopes, they're like, oh, no, you're wrong, Mether,
you don't do I'm not. He's not a game changer.
He's not someone that transcends whatever situation he's in. And
so he's a mid level doesn't have a great particular
arm per se, and doesn't do anything if the play's broke. Hey,
(11:56):
they circle the drake, is what I'm trying to say.
They're in the mud all right. Now, last thing where
Mahomes or regular season Lamar Jackson or regular season Josh
Allen will make something happen. Now to the NFL Draft.
We are less than thirty days away from the draft.
Can I get a hallelujah. We are less than thirty
(12:17):
days away from the NFL Draft. Now there is chatter, chatter, chatter,
chatter that the forty nine ers opponent, I think they're
playing the Titans this year. I want to tie this
all together. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but the Tennessee Titans,
who who don't have a quarterback, and they were so bad,
they got a lucky break. A couple of teams won
(12:40):
games late in the year that weren't supposed to win games,
and so the Titans ended up Tennessee ended up with
the number one overall pick, right there at the top.
And it has become in recent days a rumble in
the insider jungle where people said, well, it's going to
be cam Ward. Cam Ward, the Miami quarterback is going
(13:03):
to be picked at the very top of the draft. However,
there are reports out of Nashville saying that while cam
Ward is likely the number one pick, the Niners are
nighters the Titans. The Titans are expected to listen to offers, right,
(13:24):
listen to offers for that top pick. However, right however,
the report and Adam Schefter and some of the other
weasels are throwing this out there that it would take
an even stronger package to acquire cam Ward. All right,
so what's really going on? What's really going on here
(13:46):
with the Tennessee Titans and cam Ward? So what we
have here is a failure to communicate. We have mixed
messages which I believe are intentional, right, contradictory statement. You've
got the Tennessee Front Office, the GM there who's working
as an electrician crossing the wires, a bad electrician crossing
(14:10):
the wires, and Tennessee's looking to spark a bidding war.
You know it, I know it. Everyone knows they're trying
to sell cam Ward. That they have these puppy dog
eyes and they're going gaga for the player. But here's
(14:31):
the problem, right, They're trying to get the Browns and
Giants worked up into a lather, getting them all horny
for cam Ward. Here's the issue. If this guy was
a generational transcendent talent, and you have the number one
tick and you don't have a quarterback, the guy you
have a quarterback eats Mayo and sells Mayo, and he
loves Mayo, and he's more known as the Mayo guy
(14:53):
than anything else. So if that's the case, and cam
Ward is that good and you're building him into this amazing, omnipresent,
all powerful, all knowing figure. You would never trade him,
you would never do it. And so the reality is
cam Ward, as we have been saying, has a large,
soft underbelly. And it's not Miss Sunshine all the time.
(15:18):
There's a lot of dumb and gloom and all that.
And it's not like dollar for dollar, you're getting a
guy to just give another billion dollar contract to because
he can be there forever. Now maybe he'll make it
and turn out to be good. He's not a transcendent talent.
He's not generational. And in a normal year he would
be a second round pick or a late first round pick,
(15:41):
and because quarterbacks are always overdrafted, he's looking at being
the number one pick. The Titans are trying to take
advantage of this neurosis involving quarterbacks, and they want the bag,
They want the bag of goodies? And will they get it?
Will they sucker with skulduggery one of these other teams
(16:02):
to trade them a bunch of picks. We'll see about that.
Stay tuned. It is the Ben Malor Show, the Ben
Malor Show. As we are hanging out together. If you'd

That's not one of my nick things. It's not you know,

I blow I burned the midnight Hell, I don't. I
don't do the other thing there anyway. It is the
Ben Malors Show. It is the Ben Malor Show, as
we are rolling on. And major League Baseball's most expensive
opening day ticket. That's a kind of big thing. You
want to go opening day, and then you you don't
(19:04):
really go that much until the weather gets better. If
you're in a place where the weather sucks, and then
uh you know, once the summer comes around, ballparks are
packed and all that. It's it's a wonderful thing. Uh yeah,
all right, let's see what do we have here? Ferg
Dog says, did you get in trouble for inviting your
friend Eddie and your other friend Sean into the studio
(19:27):
like Lorraina did? No, I don't know. I didn't check
my email out so if they if they didn't call me,
so I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I don't know. I'm about about checking my emails. I
don't think I'm good. I think I think I'm okay
with that. Who else do we have? Stevie Meatball says,
go Dak Prescott, go three way trade. Prescott goes to
the Dolphins because he says he's not a fan of Ta.
Ta goes to Cleveland because they're stupid enough, and whatever
(20:00):
goes back to Dallas it doesn't matter and they'll get
hit in the head again. Something. I think I cleaned
that up. I believe I cleaned that up. Yeah, absolutely,
there you go. All right, what else do we have?
Page Jacob's trying to pooh pooh my Dak Prescott story.
How dare you? Shame on you? It's a bad job
(20:21):

a call in show on this opening day, and we'll
say hello to Eenie Meenie miney mo. Jerome in Charleston, Hello, Jerome,

Crown their ass.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Look here, fifty million dollars for that guy, and you
got the Ravens winning Super Bowls with the great Trent
Dilfer and the great Joe flack Jacket. Okay, so there
there's your unbalanced world, your own things.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, Jerome, if you want to crown them and crown theizes,
but they are we thought they were, and we let
them off the hook.
Speaker 3 (21:20):

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Wait, cannot wait, get out, wait, get out? Wait, I
can't wait. I'm sitting on I'm moving up to the
edge of my seat. Right now, I'm moving up to
the edge of my seat.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Hey, the dry queen tivin where the guys says, oh no,

so yeah, rank has its privileges. Dared Queen, the star
(21:55):
player travels not one, not two, but three stamps. You
don't call and he hits the game winning buzzers. Hey,
I'm what you you're on the night, If you're on
the night tomorrow night, I'm watching you merrily.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Oh, I'm sure all the Terrapins are very concerned. They're like,
oh my god, what are we gonna do? Why you
don't even know the schedule, Jerome, you're not even familiar
with the schedule.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You don't even know. I think they're on the next
but I'm watching whenever it is God willing in the creek,
don't rise, they're on watch Okay, I'm watching.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, right now, they're shivering, Jerome. They're listening in their
hotel rooms and they're shivering like, oh my god to
ererme is not gonna like that. We might have a
player that travels, because you know basketball, no one ever
travels in basketball.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
That never. By the way, by the way, you know
what you said, Talk to your host Dubar has been raised.
Van Mallord, talk to your hosts and basketball coach, what
team are you gonna be coaching next? Dan Mallor, huh.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Wow, hey said they pay me. I'll coach anybody they
want to pay me. I'm there, man, I'm down, get me.
Don't coach anybody. I don't care. I'm gottlieb moved to
Green Bay. I'll move in. I don't care.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm not moving to Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Man, Oh please, you'd move they off of your way.
You would, you would stop, you would buy a jacket.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And they think about Bay Wisconsin.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
There ain't no damn diversity there, damn.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh my god. Don't you just show that they pay
a lot of money. You're good to go the games tonight.
You got you got b YU and you got b
YU and Alabama Maryland is in Florida. That is I
think the second game. That's the early window and then
the late Windows, Arizona and Duke, and then Arkansas and Texas, Texas,
(23:47):
those are the game.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Get you in a challenge to Doug Gottliebook, I want
to chieve Wisconsin, Green Bay and the follow four. All right,
I dare you?
Speaker 7 (23:57):
You want me to.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Shut my mouth?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Well so does he, by the way, so he would
also like to see green Bay. He would also like
I'm sure he's very concerned, gott Leeb as he rolls
over in his silk sheets in his mansion. I'm sure
he's very concerned. All right, thank you, all right, go away?
I mean, come on, what do you want to do?
I mean, gott Leeb, he's that's his call, his show.
He's got his own show. Call him. I don't care.
(24:22):
You know, he can coach a team on Mars for
all I care. I don't. I don't see him, I
don't interact with him. I don't care. I think it's
kind of amusing that he coached like the worst team
in college basketball. I think it's kind of amusing. Let's
go to Blind Scott, who's on the north end of Boston.
Blind Scott sent me an email complaining about all the
radio people taking time off. He's annoyed by this. He
(24:44):
says it's messing up his calling to different radio shows.
Is that accurate, Blind Scott?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Oh yeah, Like I really think people have lives outside
the radio that work on these shows. And I'm bothering
these hosts like they have keen ages and stuff that
are going to graduate high school kids trying to perform
at like high levels at private.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Schools or whatever.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
And then Blind scotts him like thirty mils today trying
to get on their show. And I realized, like, you know,
I have good material. I got to put it on
the air somewhere, you know what I mean, Like slob,
You know, I don't bow down to capitalism, Dude, I
think the You know what I was going to say,
The Red Sox are going to win the World Series.
They have the best team in baseball right now. They
got Devers as a DH. No team has had the
(25:27):
designated Hey that good? You know what I mean, dude, Ben,

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Man, all right, it's Loraina.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
What are you doing this week on Lorraine? I want

Let me tell you something though, I offered to go
to Kansas City. I said, I'm going to tell you
you're embarrassed. You don't want to be seen next to me,
So I'm going to beat the bag out of you.
In Vancouver, I got a bunch of people. You won't
be protected by your wife, who's a police who you
brought to the bulvits meet and.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Greets, being a police officer. She's a nine to win
one over. He's not CoP's the.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Plane when I met your bulbs was to roll you
a little bit. You know what I mean? Because me
and you have words to say that we can't say
on the radio to each other. And that's what's gonna
have any where.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
There's no words we have to say. We can talk
right now if you want. There's nothing to say.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Well, no, me and you are best friends, though we
have to like maybe your wife might want to leave
you when you meet me, you know what I mean.
Like with best friends, we might want to do like
Frank call sever let me tell you that Port Jeffers
too long.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I gotta go, Thank you. The alloted time is up
for the gentleman from the North end of Boston. We'll
move on from me. Let's say hello to Bob in Cleveland.
Who is next? Hello, Bob? What's going on? Bob? Welcome? Hi?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Bet?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Bob? If I was any better, I would be a Brown,
but not a Cleveland Brown because you know.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Hopefully without the ex prescott. But anyway, you had a
caller on that as a Dodger fan, and he explained
rather kind of lamely about the committed bounce text that
the pirates got over two hundred million dollars from this arrangement,
and he's wrong. JJ Cooper the Baseball America wrote or
(28:35):
very lengthy article about the difficulty some of these smaller
market teams have even competing today, and you pretty much
had to be a billionaire to run one of these clubs.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Now, yeah, okay, well what's what's the problem though? If
you why don't you draft well? And there are ways.
Tampa Bay doesn't spend any money. They've been a consistent
playoff team. They made a World Series one.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
That's one of the things that these teams need to do.
I'm not backing the Pirates on They're horrible drafting over
the years.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, but I get annoyed when people call up and
there they want to defend crap bag franchises. They have
owners that a lot of these owners just keep they
make you make a lot of the Pirates make a
lot of money. You don't think the Pirates and the
Marlins and the Athletics are making a lot of dollars.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Read the article by J. J. Cooper.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
The Pirates lost two million dollars last year even with
their craft roster.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
You know how it works. You know how this works.
You understand, like the projection is, Hey, the Pirates say
we're going to make ten million dollars this year. We
only made eight million. We lost two million based on
our project. That's with a number one. If you think
the whole, if you think the Pittsburgh Pirates, if you think,
I don't know who that is, I know that guy.
(29:50):
I don't know that guy from Lampost.
Speaker 10 (29:52):
But if you think the Pirates, if you think the
Pirates are losing money, how come every time a baseball
team go for sale there's fifty billionaires line up to
buy them, even the suck franchises, and they're nobody's going
to do that.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
They're losing money. Why would they do that? It makes
no sense.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
With the Boston Celtics, the Boss and Celtics won the
NBA title last year. His skyrocket is And what did
they have to do? What did the owners have to do?
They had to sell the team?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Well they didn't. They didn't have to sell the team.
They chose to say they didn't because they didn't sell.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
So the cost to own it is just too high.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
All right. Again, here's the problem, and that's why. And
I love you. You're believing a lot of the craft
that you're being told. I don't believe it. I think
it's not I think it's not.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Part of the giants.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
It's it's a it's a way that it's a money grab.
You sell as long as you're in control. It's not
because they're short on money. They they're not making as
much as they used to. If you win, you make
more money. Okay, But you can make a lot of
money as bad team. And uh, I mean, listen, I
don't know how else to tell you, but there's a
(31:06):
lot of money to be made owning a bad team.
And you get the television revenue, you get the merchandise,
it's television revenue.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
I'm not going to descend the Pirates. The Pirates are
a horrible franchise. I'm not going to defend the Pirates.
But you can't compare the New York Yankees TV revenue
to the Pittsford Pirates.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
You just can't.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Okay, all right again, we disagree. You think you think
that all these give me the list of baseball teams
that have gone bankrupt because they can't compete financially. There
has there ever been has there ever been a in
modern times? Has there been a baseball team that has
gone bankrupt because there they just can't compete with the
Dodgers and the Yankees and all that. Owning a team.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
When loans out so they don't go bank.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Okay again, Uh it is. It's like having an ATM
machine when you own even a bad you know, small
market team whatever. Yeah, it's a license to run a
business that allows you to pocket millions of dollars in
passive income. And you just put your hands and I
can't compete.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
You get in short, like the competitive the CBA expires
in twenty six.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
You'll probably be a big work stoppage and there'll be
holy hell and all that. The teams like the Pirates
and the complain and I gotta I gotta leave it there, Bob.
But thank you call anytime. I don't care, I can,
I can spa back and forth. We can go about that.
But yeah, uh listen, these teams, Oh we're feeling the
(32:34):
budget squeeze and all that. Well, yeah, you're you're counting pennies,
is what you are. But there's a lot of rich
guys that are tight wads when it comes to these
sports teams, and and there's a lot of fans that
buy everything they're told and never use any creative thinking
(32:55):
shall we say or or ask any questions like is
that really what's going on here? Yeah? Anyway, all right,
it is the Ben Malors Show. Let's say hello to
Jed who fled, and we do have coming up in
a little bit, we're going to have fact or fiction.
By the way, the most expensive, Jed, Do you know
the most expensive opening day ticket on the secondary market today? No,
(33:16):
you don't. It's the Giants and the Reds in Cincinnati.
One hundred and eighty nine bucks for the Giants and Reds.
These Tigers, Tigers, Tigers, and Dodgers. Second most expensive on
the secondary market one hundred and thirty eight bucks, and
(33:37):
the cheapest is the Blue Jays. It's like twelve years. Yeah,
this is the part you talk.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
I'm starting to say, speaking of finances by low and
sale high does not mean stale make a sale while
under the employment of hard narcotics, because I'm usually I
take losses for sure that way. Well, dude, all right there, stunning,
stunning right there, Ron Scott Doron Scott. He doesn't want
to acknowledge that our normal people doing normal things in
(34:08):
normal life, and that's going to make the show occasionally.
But yeah, we'll freak out if you don't acknowledge that
he's a woman, which he's not. It teches any communions
and so what what are good? That's why?
Speaker 5 (34:18):
That's life right there, dude?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Why alf of that?
Speaker 7 (34:20):
If you if you'd be any person, Scott, I guarantee
I would accept your gear a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Do that about it?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
All right? Thank you? Let's sell on a cowboy. John
brad and Windsor, Ontario, a fine Canadian lad.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Oh well, well, one of my longest friends, the longest
spending Bob the tomsk you died on Sunday, is being
buried today, yes, oh, thank you. Yesterday Diana Ross was
eighty one country singer and songwriter Dean Dillen with seventy
(34:53):
tomorrow will be a much more famous country singer and
songwriter who will be seventy and Jim Win the sixties
and seventies slugger who should be in the Hall of
Fame five years ago yesterday, two weeks after turning seventy eight,
and see Bob knsas was seventy three last Saturday. Also,
(35:15):
I think the Tigers will won the American League Central
this year and probably one round of the playoffs before
losing the second round like they did last year. Of
course they did they didn't win, of course the American
League Central last year, but I think something like ninety
and seventy two this year. Also I mentioned it up. Okay, anyway,
