Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's paradise on Earth. It is the hour four of
the Ben Malor Show podcast. New reporting says defensive end
Trey Hendrickson could sit out the entire season in Bengal
contract talks, believe it or not. Also, quarterback Carson Wentz
and the Browns are said to have a mutual interest.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
How much credence do you give that?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
And the Patriots have to unload backup quarterback Joe Milton.
Why is that? And could he end up with the Cowboys?
We'll talk about that as well. All of it right
now here.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It is.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Have a great day, enjoy your day, whatever you're doing.
It's our number four.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Some old fashioned saber rattling.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor Show.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
We are in the air everywhere in Alliance as we
follow and often ignore all all of the global trends
coast sporting.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
A moot hand beyond on the mast, Hey pioneeringly powerful
microphones of FSR amminating live. Do it live from the tent,
the injury Tent. We're off on the sidelines here. We're
broadcasting live from the Tirak dot Com studios Tyraq dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
We'll help you get there an.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free roadhazard protection and over
ten thousand recommended in stars and ostrich Ant and the
Burner account. Big fans of that tire raq dot com
The Way Tire Buying show.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
B and I should also mention our buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Chip and the Cues, who has been forced to retire
from listening live to overnight talk radio because of a
medical problem. That he's a podlister. Now we've we've forced
him to listen to the podcast. But our lead this
hour is from Saber Rating. I call it saber Ratley.
I know that's more of a political like a geo

(02:06):
political term, but we like to cross over here and
butt's around with the big words in sports radio. So
let me give you a story and then we'll react
to it. The Ben Gows did a victory lap. They
signed recently Tea Higgins and the guy that hates all
the food there in Cincinnati, Jamar Chase.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
To record setting contracts.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And they went and they took a bow and they
did a victory lap, and they said, hey, look how
great we are.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
And you know, they wanted everyone to do some naval
gazing at.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Themselves so the third wheel, if you will, the rest
of the story, the third player that Joe Burrow specifically said,
we need to keep these persona non grata, got cooties
and what is the latest on that? So, if you
haven't heard, there are whispers now bouncing around the echo
chamber in the NFL. That defensive stalwart for the Bengals,

(03:02):
Trey Hendrickson, is considering sitting out the entire twenty twenty
five season if he doesn't get a new contract.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
He's not gonna play.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
That you remember, earlier this month, Cincinnati had allowed Hendrickson
to go out and find a new team off in
the wild Blue Yonder and Hendrickson went out and with
his agent and talked to a bunch of teams, and
all quiet on the Western front.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
No one has pursued a trade. Now.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Normally trades like that don't happen until closer to the
NFL Draft. However, DK Metcalf was upset in Seattle. He's
already been traded, So they do happen occasionally soon, but
normally it's right around the NFL Draft. So we still
have a month ago. But Hendrickson is thirty years old.
He has set to play I don't know how he's
gonna be able to do it one year, twenty one

(03:58):
million dollar contract with a base salary of fifteen point
eight million. I believe we're going to start a GoFundMe
try to help him out there.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
He'll be able to pay the mortgage and the car payment,
be able to afford eggs and all that stuff. I
guess the price of egg's going down a little bit.
So let us discuss the question. Some new reporting recently
saying that defensive star Trey Hendrickson could that's a weasel word,
could sit out the entire twenty twenty five season. The

(04:28):
Bengal contract talks not going well.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
No one is.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Trading for him, believe it or not. So my take
on this, I've got Larry David, Suburbia and Ghostbusters, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make the Gabba Ghul.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
We're gonna make the Gabba Gool, which is.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Better than anything you can buy locally there in Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Not my opinion.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
That's the opinion of Jamar Chase. So to kick off here,
my answer, do you believe it or not? I am
agnostic on this one. I am agnostic. It is one
thing to talk about it, and we hear this all
the time.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
I'm not gonna play. I'm sitting out and I get that.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
We're sitting here in March and we're gonna get haven't
had the draft yet, and you get the offseason workouts
and then training camp in the summer, and then the
season doesn't begin until September. But you're talking the talk.
It's saber rattling. Walking the walk is a whole different animal.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
It is a massive leap of faith. And as the
Great Larry David said.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
With a smirk, remember that commercial a couple of years
ago for that scam crypto company and it turned out
to be a total scam. And he said, Eh, I
don't think so. And I'm never wrong about this stuff never.
That's my take on Henderson. I don't believe it. I
believe his camp is saying it, his posse is saying

(05:55):
But Henderson would have to go on a Kamakazi mission.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
You would be leaving twenty one million, now.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Fifteen point eight guarantees, so I guess it's fifteen point eight,
But you'd be leaving millions of dollars on the table.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
That is money that you will never get back. That's it.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
You're just gonna burn it up, burn baby burn, And
no one in their right mind does that. And it
really is a needle in a haystack situation. So I
went back, and I say, in my life, I really
just worried about my life in my lifetime, and very
selfish that way, as I remember now things might have
happened when I was a little kid, but in my lifetime,

(06:35):
as I recall, you know, how many players on my
not a list by the way, Terry in England, but
my big board, how many players have held out the
entire year not played at all? And I've been around
for a few years now.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
So I went back. I went back.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
I was trying to keep track of it, and by
my count, there are not one, not two, not three, four,
There are four players in my life that have sat
out the entire year. The last one to do it
was Leveon Bell. It's fair to say Leveon Bell he
hung out on the beach in a banana hammock, riding

(07:13):
jet skis and drinking my ties, and he cost himself
about fourteen.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Million dollars and that didn't go so well. Sean Gilbert.
I don't know if anyone remembers him.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
He was a big, burly defensive tackle, lumbering defensive tackle
for a team called the Redskins back in the day,
and he sat out an entire year.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
This guy named Bo Jackson. He was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
He didn't want to play for Tampa Bay, so he
sat out and played baseball for the Royals and then
eventually got traded to the Raiders and was a two
sports star and all that. And then yet Kelly Stover
or Staffer as he was, there was a quarterback who sucked.
I think that was for the Phoenix Cardinals, not the
Arizona Cardinals, the Phoenix Cardinals. So that is, by my math,

(07:58):
four players in four so once a decade. And we've
already had it for the in the last decade with
Leveon Bell, which was within the last decade.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
It's already happened, all right. Now.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Furthermore, we stand Ohio, and the reason we stany in
Ohio is because Ohio is number two. They're number two
on podcast downloads in the entire country by state.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
California's one, Ohio's two. Good job by you.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
But we headed the land and the reason we're going
there is because we're gonna go on the carousel round
and round and round and round and round and round.
The carousel goes, So the quarterback carousel quarterback Carson Wentz.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I say that in air quotes Carson Wentz quarterback. So
Carson Wentz, we are told, and the Browns, what can
brown do for you? I'd rather have ups than the Browns,
is what I'd rather have. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
The Browns and Carson Wentz are said to have a
quote mutual interest. So how much credence do you give
the idea that Carson Wentz would slot on in.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
And be the quarterback in Cleveland? So it actually makes sense,
not because it would be a good move. I don't
believe it would be a good move.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
The Browns and Carson Wentz, they don't realize it, but
they're actually neighbors.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
They're neighbors in suburbia. Now what do we mean by that.
They live in a little village called Suckburg.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
And they've got house. It's a cul de sac actually,
Suckburg and Carson Wentz has a little cottage and then
the Browns have a place there.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
It's a charming little town.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
There's no blocking, there's no tackling, and you keep thinking
that all you have to do is win the lottery
and then your life will be great.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
That's what life is.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Like living in suburbia and the town of Suckburg. So
Carson Wentz is looking for at work. He once at
least a part time job. I went and I went
back and I checked out the number, because the number
keeps changing every year.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
What number are you talking about? I'll tell you. So
if Carson Wentz does end up in Cleveland, which is
still not a guarantee, because you've got other sucked quarterbacks
that live in in Suckburg, like Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
He sucks Kirk Cousins. He also is a resident of
Suckburg recently. So there's a lot of quarterbacks that live
in Suckburg. But whoever ends up getting job we're talking
about Carson Wentz will stay with the theme. So if
Carson Wentz gets the job, he would be the George H. W.
Bush of the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Let me explain. Bush was commander in chief number forty one.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
And whoever, whether it's Carson Wentz or Russell Wilson or
Joe Blow, whoever ends up becoming the next starting quarterback
for the Browns will be the forty first different starting
quarterback since the Brown franchise came back from the dead.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
They had died.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
And moved to Baltimore and became poets, and then like
the phoenix rising from the ashes, they've rose back in
nineteen ninety nine. I was a small child back then.
That was pre Fox Sports Radio. But since then they've
had forty starting quarterback So Carson Wentz.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Would be forty one. And Carson, I give the guy credit.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
He's gonna have the coolest man cave when he redecorates
his home.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
There his basement in Suckburg.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Carson Wentz has been a traveling snake oil salesman. Do
you realize the last five years, Carson Wentz has played
for five different teams. He's like five guys, he's played
for five different teams, and he's had a passer rating below.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Eighty five. I think it's even below eighty four in
the last five years.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
And yet he's still got opportunities have arm will travel
and there's a lot of interest in that little suburban village, Suckburg.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
All right, last thing, we go to New England.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
We're not going to do a rant about Stefan Diggs,
who's meeting with the Patriots later today in Foxborough.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
They can go to one of the three restaurants in Foxborough.
We're not talking about that. We did a monologue about
it earlier. If you missed it, you're just getting up
this hour. Recommend the podcast. You can go back and
download that. And that was back in our one.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Because that was the most interesting story, most interesting story
in the NFL, that Stefawn Diggs, who is guaranteed to
destroy all kinds of crap in the locker room. That's
who the Patriots want to talk to you. But there's
another name, Joe Milton. He's a quarterback, and Joe Milton,
the backup has drawn a little bit of trade interest

(12:35):
here depending who you believe in the off season continuing
and a new possible suitor on the match game has
emerged for the Patriots backup quarterback and reveal answers, Reveal answers.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
That team we're hearing the Dallas Cowboy Eyes.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
The Dallas Cowboys the latest team to show interest in
Joe Milton.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
How about that? All right?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
So Patriots backup quarterback, Joe Milton, the Tennessee kid who's.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
A late draft pick by the team in New England
has been linked to that Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Do you see this as a legitimate possibility or is
this just some kind of clickbait?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
So, actually, I don't think this is just clickbait. I
believe it. I think there is something there.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
It meets all of the criteria, checks all of the
boxes for Jerry Jones the Patriots. The way I look
at the arithmetic on this, the Patriots have to unload
Joe Milton. And here's why, Ghostbusters ghost Busters. Joe Milton,

(13:47):
as long as he is there with the Patriots is
the phantom. He is the boogeyman who is going to
haunt Drake May. And it's all because of a Week
sixteen game against a bunch of backups for the Buffalo
bill or Weich, I guess it was.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
A weak guy. Was it seventeen or whatever? Week eighteen?
In week sixty it was the final game of the
regular season, whatever there was. I think it was a
Week eighteen and it was a domination against Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
And that will have legs until Joe Milton goes out
there and acts like a celebrity in a Knicks game
and rides.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Vomit, coming okay and struggles.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
But New England already signed the guy to replace Joe
Milton and just haven't traded.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Like Joe Milton's gonna be traded, whether it's.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Traded today or the day of the NFL Draft, or
Day two or day three of the NFL Draft, New
England has not an astronaut. They have the pastronaut, which
is the next best thing the pastronaut, Josh Dobbs as
QB number two, and so Jerry Jones. He needs someone young,

(14:55):
he needs someone cheap at backup quarterback behind Dak Scott,
and Dak's pretty pretty safe bet to get hurt. He
gets hurt a lot, misses a lot of games, and
he's only getting older, so he's gonna miss more games.
And Joe Milton's the kind of guy that could excite
the electorate and get people a little tingling. Whether he
can replicate what he did in that game against Buffalo

(15:18):
is unlikely, but he's a young.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Quarterback who has some of the skill set to be
a good player.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Whether he actually turns that into something, and the odds
are against him, but at least he's got.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
The abilities somewhere in there. It is the Bean Mahlor Show.

Speaker 2 (15:36):

thing on your show that I have never agreed with,
and because what I did for seven years, the thing

(28:34):
about the man set the stuff on fire and calling

I worked the fire department. I see people run out
burning and screening.

Speaker 1 (28:44):

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I didn't say did I tell him, Hey, I think
it'd be a good bit for the show. Light your

what Eagle fans do.

Do we have that audio from the other day, Coop

This is pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
So so scratch off. There's this guy ostri chant big
fan of the show. He lives in the Washington, DC area,
loves the show. He's a big podcast listener. So ostri Jant,
I believe he drives a bus in the DC area
and he randomly he drops my name. And listen to
what happened to just some random bus driver in DC

(29:45):
when ostri Jant's trying to promote the show.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Take take a listen here we got some audio play.
Go ahead. Now he's he's based in California.

Speaker 7 (29:54):
Is the Ben Malor Show on Fox Sports Radio?

Speaker 4 (29:57):
Hop?

Speaker 1 (29:58):
iHeart? I like how you said, who's been Mallard? Never
heard of it? I never heard of him.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, that's fine, and most people haven't. But that's uh,
that's pretty funny. That's good markets. See, that's the kind
of gorilla marketing that we need. There.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
We just have random bus drivers dropping my name on
on city buses. That's what we need.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
I've told you a million times, man, I'm on my
own shows in town the Ticket and you know, and
we I want to talk about you and some of them,
you know, they kind of get pissy about it. And
some of them, you know, they listen to it. But
I mean I can talk about the bottle show up
Coop and all you pet yeah and filing their self.
But the other day, the one I really talked on, man,

(30:44):
we got some bad news about him. He's done real
for like I've been on my job twenty seven years,
fifteen of March and.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Uh and he's done.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
Also cancer man. Uh, well, he's got cancer real bad
right now, and it's long and it's one of our
sports guys. It's scary, man, you'll we got so much
cancer going on this world ride.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah, no, for sure, it's a night. Mean, there's a
million different forms of it.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
So all right, I gotta go, But thank you for
the hot cancer talk. But good luck to every all your.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Friends there and relatives and yeah. So it's a tough situation.
I've been through it many times, unfortunately, and probably with
many more times if I'm lucky enough to keep going here.
Let's say hello. Actually, I don't think we have a
time because we.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Have to leave time for factor fiction. Now the classic
car story real quick, one of Koopa Loop's favorite players
could be ending up with the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Of all people, that.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Would be none other than von Miller. Say what yeah, Now,
von Miller is pretty washed up at this point. I
believe he's thirty five years old. He can still occasionally
be a situational pass rusher. He had all of six
thirteen games last season. He only played about I think
it was like forty percent of the snaps or something

(32:07):
like that. But there is a connecting of the dots.
Von Miller signed a big contract with the Bills. He
was released last month to save some money, So there's
people connecting. He's from the Dallas area, I believe. I
know he went to college at A and M Texas
A and M SO, and he lives in that area
in the offseason. So there's some connecting of the dots

(32:28):
to a washed up von Miller. That is the perfect Cowboys, sunning,
big resume, decorated career, Hall of Fame level player, can't
play anymore.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Put a star on him. That's the way to do it.
That is the way to do it.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
It is all right, Savett malers show. We press on
and I need some judges. We're gonna have fact or
fiction back to fish.
