Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number four. Our number four
is ready to go, and we play tror false go
to Philadelphia, truor false. Howie Roseman put the AJ Brown
trade rumors to bed once and for all by not
trading his wide receiver at the trade deadline? Does that
(00:22):
now end the conversation about AJ Brown being unhappy in Philadelphia? Also,
why would the Jets reject a deal for running back
Breece Hall from Kansas City. They could have gotten rid
of him. They're not trying to win, so what's the
point of that. Also, do you understand why the Dolphins
(00:44):
refuse to deal wide receiver Jalen Waddle to the Broncos.
Couple of players that were rumored to be traded, but
we're not traded. We'll talk about all that and more.

better known as Whoopy by Blair says, Hey, how about
that DraftKings. That's right, player. This show is sponsored by
DraftKings Sportsbook, unofficial sports betting partner of the NFL and NBA.
(03:25):
Don't tell anybody actually watched an NBA game a little
bit last night. I'm not proud of it. Right now,
use promo code Mallard claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code Mallard m A L L E R
at DraftKings. The crown is yours, all right. So our
lead this hour is from the post mortem on the
(03:47):
trade deadline. We had big trades. Sauce Gardner the most
decorated NFL player to be traded at such a young age.
There had never been a team dumb enough like the
Jets to trade a two time All Pro at age
twenty five. It had never happened in the history of
the NFL until the Jets got involved, and we mentioned
(04:08):
this earlier. It was a full monologue. It's one of
the great suckers game of all time. It's the biggest
scam that works in all sports. It works in football, baseball, basketball, hockey,
all the major sports in the industrial complex of pro
sports in America that fans have been programmed to be
(04:30):
convinced that draft picks are the holy Grail. They're not.
They're not. And we did a monologue. You can go
back and listen to that later today. This hour, though,
I want to focus on the players that were not traded,
that were supposed to be traded. For example, in Philadelphia,
A J. Brown. Now, AJ Brown has been really good
(04:52):
for what I do. I like AJ Brown. AJ Brown.
I know a couple times during the NFL's season he
is going to have a full conniption fit, and I'm
there for it. I have a talk show to do
every day. I'm there. I'm happy. So AJ Brown has
been sulking for a couple of years in Philadelphia. Even
winning the Super Bowl did not stop the sulk. So
(05:17):
he's not happy, and it appears that the grumble in
Green will continue. You did not here despite widespread chatter,
a lot of chatter, and there were trade talks. The
Philadelphia Eagles ultimately failed failed to pull the trigger and
there was no deal. There was some chatter that the
(05:39):
couple of teams had stepped up to try to acquire
AJ Brown. The Eagles, though, did not trade him. He
stays in the Delaware Valley. Close but no cigar. So
now entering the chat from the right is Howie Roseman. Now,
Howie Roseman is very popular with the media. And tell
(06:00):
you what, Howie Roseman loves. He loves Howie Roseman, big fan.
Uh loves to stare at himself in the mirror. He's
like a stare like the gym guy. You know, the
Jim bro that stares at themselves in the mirror at
the gym. Yeah, he's that guy. At least that's the
way he comes across. So despite that, so Howie Roseman
spoke to the media in Philly and he explained the
logic behind not trading a player that clearly wasn't happy
(06:22):
in Philadelphia, clearly wanted to go somewhere else. He said, quote,
when you're trying to be a great team, it's hard
to trade great players. AJ Brown is a great player,
Roseman told reporters. So that is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss. We're gonna play the truer false game.
Do you like the true or false game? Good? If
(06:43):
you don't like it, deal with it. So true or false,
Howie Roseman, the GM in Philadelphia put the AJ Brown
trade chatter to bed once and for all. After all,
you would never trade AJ Brown because he's a player,
and the Eagles are always trying to be a great team.
So there should be no trade, ever, true or false.
(07:06):
How He Roseman, jam of the Eagles has now closed
the door on an AJ Brown trade. So I've got
Zodiac Killer, Disney Classic and Silverspoon, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are gonna make
(07:27):
the Gabba gul. We're gonna make the Gabba goool, and
some popcorn chicken to go with it. All right, So
to lead off here, my answer is false with a
capital F. False with a capital F. The big old Pinocchio,
big old Pinocchio nose alert. Now, if you listen between
the words on Howie Roseman, he did not this is
(07:50):
a key part. He did not at any point deny
deny the noise, meaning that this was a political answer.
We said an election on Tuesday, so this was a
political answer. He said, it's hard to trade great players.
(08:12):
Surely not impossible. If you look at the Mallar Rosetta stone,
the Rosetta stone translation, it is we tried, but nobody
meant the reserve price. That's essentially what Howie Roseman said.
We had a price. You know how you go to
auction and if you want that watch, you have to
(08:33):
meet the minimum reserve and nobody did it, meaning that
aj Brown was in the display case. He was on
all the websites, like a Louis Vuitton bag at a
pawn shop, and they just didn't get the right offer.
So that's the way I tell you. Great players again,
are traded all the time. It happens from sea to
(08:58):
shining sea. It's a regular thing. And the great talent migration,
the migration of players from team to team to team,
that's the thing that keeps the conversation fresh. How boring
would professional sports be if it's just the same players
on every team and they never change uniforms. It would
(09:19):
be dullan who wants that? Blah, that's no fun. It's fun.
Players changing teams is cool. It's like, Oh, the team's
gonna be better now we got new blood, young blood,
got young blood and all that stuff. So that aside
conversation's going here. So AJ Brown has been sending some
(09:41):
subtle and not so subtle cryptic messages. In fact, he
has sent so many cryptic messages on social media. If
only the Zodiac Killer had had social media. My god,
he's mad about his targets. Check. He's not happy with
jailor check check. He doesn't like the play calling check
(10:02):
check check. And Galen Hurts seems pretty fed up with
the whole situation. And so the relationship, it's like they
need a good couple's therapy session, the two of them there.
And so the Eagles and Howie Roseman can spin this
like a dradle all he wants, right, but they're one
bad game away from another sideline kerfluffel and a meltdown.
(10:28):
And so it's a supersized combo. Now what is the combo.
You've got drama O Rama, that's the main dish. You've
got the poudy face fries. Those are delicious. Get some
salt on those. You've got a milkshake of passive aggressive range.
You got all that. Now, remember the golden rule. Do
you remember the golden rule? Okay, the golden rule is
(10:50):
when production outweighs the aggregation, you keep the player. That's
the golden rule. When the aggravation outweighs the production. Bye
bye said, you said you shipped the player out. So
if you look at where they are in the circle
of AJ Brown, they clearly believe that the production is
(11:11):
still good enough to put up with the next time
that he has a nuclear meltdown on the sidelines are
on social media. So Philadelphia has been on the clock
with AJ Brown. So think how you can't trade him? Now?
The trade deadline is done for this year. That doesn't
mean once the season's over, even if the Eagles get
back to the super Bowl and win again, which is unlikely,
(11:34):
that AJ Brown is still very much in play to
be traded. And that's the way it is.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Furthermore, to cansa city we go where the Chiefs are
still licking their wounds after losing in Buffalo. Now we
were told that there was an offer. The Chiefs did
not make a signature move at the trade deadline, but
they tried. Now where do they try? There was an
(12:00):
offer on the table a fourth round draft pick. A
fourth round draft pick to the j e Ts. Suck, suck,
suck for Breas Hall. He's our running back, Breasseehall. Now,
Kansas City was more than willing to acquire the running
back Brease Hall. The Jets rejected the trade. They said, no, no, no,
(12:21):
we are steadfast. We want a third round pick and
we are not going to take anything less than a
third round picked. So they drew a line in the dirt. Okay, question,
why would the Jets, who are holding a going out
of business sale, why would they all of a sudden
(12:43):
draw a line in the sand when it comes to
running back? Brishall, can you explain that to me? Like
I'm five years old? All right, so I Am going
to put on my psychologist hat, give you some psychobabble.
My diagnosis, as doctor Maline. It's called being stubborn for
(13:04):
the sake of optics. That's what this is, right, The
Jets front office acting like a classic Disney character, not
Goofy Dumbo Dumbo. Right, yeah, either blow it up or
you don't blow it up. So seriously, it doesn't make sense.
(13:24):
I was texting some of my buddies. I don't really
talk to anyone. Why I just text them during the
afternoon when the trade after the trade deadline. So I'm
going back and forth with a couple people that are
in my circle, and I'm like, well, this doesn't make
any sense. I mean, they kind of went halfway, like
you're either in it or you're not in it. And
so it's like tearing down. It's like you buy a
(13:49):
bunch of real estate in the Tenderloin district and you're like, Okay,
so we're gonna tear down half the block here and
then the other half we're gonna leave as a shanty
town for the people that love their fentanyl. Right, We're
gonna leave that for them, Like why would you do that?
(14:09):
But here we are, right, this is what bad businesses do.
Forget about sports, it's just bad business. You go halfway,
you go all. I don't believe in the rebuild. I
think that's a scam. Also, so I wouldn't have done
what the Jets did. But if you're gonna go down
that road, you go all the way down the road.
You don't stop midway through. You gut the defense like
(14:34):
it's a salmon or a puffer fish. You gut the thing,
and yet you're holding on to your running back like
he's the reincarnation of Curtis Martin reincar. I mean, what
are you doing? Spoiler alert? You're one in seven. You
are what your record says you are. You stink. There's
(14:56):
a lot of stink. Everyone knows it. So why would
you do if a player didn't want to be there?
Like it's a disgruntled player, he sent out all these
obvious messages to get out of there. And there's Andy Reid,
you know who wanted to think how much fun that
(15:17):
would be? I'm in the fun business. I like fun.
I want fun. That would have been great. You imagine
Andy Reid calling up plays and mahomes little screen passes
and wild exotic running plays and all that stuff. And
Priest Hall could be dining on the Ben Mallard chicken
(15:38):
fingers there at the Landing and Liberty, Missouri and the
Bob Fesco pretzel and all that. I mean, how great
is that great food town? And instead, instead he's gonna
suck the year out with the Jets, And so the Jets,
in my opinion, have outsmarted themselves. The running back is
the most replaceable position on the team. And what's the
point of having a luxury runner back if you're getting
(16:01):
out of the winning business, and by all accounts, you're
more worried about just draft picks. Is your fan based
a bunch of morons and they love the skullduggery of
the draft, and so just go all in? In fact,
why not just hold competition, have tryouts? How would you
like to play for the Jets? Get some guys in
the Tri state area. They can play for the Jets,
(16:23):
and then you'll lose, and you're losing anyway, you'll pay
them less money and way to go. Last thing, Miami, Miami, Miami,
we go, we go to Miami, and another player who
was talked a lot about trading deadline time did not
get traded. The Dolphins decided, Eh, we're not going to
(16:45):
waddle away, and so they did not make a trade.
That the Dolphins were asking for a first round draft
pick in exchange for wide receiver Jalen Waddle. The team
in Miami did not get that offer, and so Jalen
Wattle remains a member of the Miami Dolphin football team.
(17:07):
Which means good weather, bad football, and a lot to do.
A good night life there in Miami, tropical paradise and
all that. So the Broncos, we are told, the Denver Broncos,
we're all hot and bothered little horny to get their
hands on Jalen Wattle. They wanted him on their team,
(17:27):
but they could not get the deal done. They did
not meet the reserve price for Jalen Wattle. So question,
do you understand why the Dolphins? Why the Dolphins refused
to deal Jalen Wattle to the Broncos even though the
Broncos did make a sizable artist offer. So on this one,
(17:49):
I'm nodding my head. Yes, Okay, I'm nodding my head. Yes,
on this I actually get it. Now, keep in mind,
we look at all of these things on a case
by case basis. We do. So I just mentioned if
I was the Jets, I would have gotten rid of
Breeze Hall. I don't need a luxury running back when
I'm not trying to win, because by the time the
(18:11):
Jets are ever good, of course we'll all be dead.
But by the time the Jets are good, Breeze Hall
will have too many miles on him, and what's the
point of having Here's the difference, though wide receivers are
in a different stratosphere. They just are in the modern
game of football. And so this is not like Brice
Hall as a running back. It doesn't make sense to
(18:33):
keep him the wide receiver. I get that running backs
are like plastic forks. You've ever been attached to a
plastic fork? No, you use it? You eat your potato salad,
and I don't like potato salad, but maybe you do,
and you eat it at the barbecue, and then you
throw the fork away. Single, use one and done. Now,
(18:55):
a wide receiver like Jalen Waddle is not Applai four.
He's a silver spoon, and that's what you want. You
go put that back in the drawer. You wash that
bad boy. You put that back in the drawer. You
don't throw that out. And only Juri Geller could bend
that silver spoon or any other hack magician. That's if
you want to learn how to do that, it's on YouTube.
(19:17):
You can learn how to bend a spoon. So good
magic trick there anyway. Jayalen Wattle is twenty six. I
believe I think I'm right on that mid twenties. He
signed a relatively big contract. He's locked up through twenty
twenty eight. They've already paid him. I believe the number
is seventy six million guaranteed, So that seems like a commitment,
(19:38):
seems like a marriage. He's a good player, like the
greatest wide receiver in the NFL. He's a productive receiver.
And Tyreek Hills days are numbered in Miami. He's hurt
right now. He's out for the rest of the year,
will likely be released at the end of the season,
which means he's done with the Dolphins and Jalen Wattle
becomes the rock of hard Rock Stadium. By the time
(20:00):
Jalen Wattle's contract's done, the Dolphins will go through no
less than three coaches because at some point Mike McDaniel
is going to be fired this year, so there'll be
an interim coach at least for a game or two.
So that'll be the second coach, and then there'll be
a third coach, and then there'll be another quarterback after
Tua is unloaded. How about tour for Kyler Murray? Would
(20:21):
that be an even trade? No, Well, buckle up, Jalen
wall It's gonna be like a Greyhound bus stake in
a bus station. A lot of coming and going a
lot of coming and going there. But I would rather
have Jalen Wattle than some draft pick. Now if he
was a running back, I would trade him. It is

Speaker 8 (23:23):
Them Dodgers, because what about them Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Bab Dude, you're a Red Sox fan. You're not a
Dodger fan. You're a Red Sox fan. No, no, no,
you're a You are a Red Sox fan. You don't
like the Dodgers. You disc when you moved from the
West Coast to Maine. You gave up the Dodgers. Do
not try to become a Dodger fan.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Now they did. There's like five five freaking fights in
the street, fireworks going off. That place was a riot.
The police were going going out and all the people
were causing like riots and stuff. Most and U people
didn't care. All those like gys in the streets, they
(24:05):
didn't care. It was just crazy watching it live on TikTok.
It was crazy watching it on live on TV.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
You said live on TikTok, Dude, you said, TikTok it
was And then it.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Was live on TV too, and I was live on
my road crew. It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Look at your plugging everything. You got road crew, you
got TikTok. Well it's funny, Ben.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
I actually didn't realize you could watch like games live
on TikTok. I was at Disney for the playoffs on Saturday,
and my cousin was using TikTok to watch the game
because they're streamers who are watching it live.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah. I don't know that that's a lot, but hey,
what the hell? Why not? I know, but it's kind
of like cheating the system a bit. You to beat
the man. There you go? Is that is that it? Blair?
Speaker 7 (24:51):
You do it, Ben, But I couldn't believe it. They
went into eleven innings like they were going. I thought
they were going to lose that game, and I never watched.
They thought they were going to lose, and they came
back eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
A time out of the time about you don't you
never I'm to make the freaking Dodgers. Okay, all right,
I'll stop you are now you're giving me Dodger propaganda.
I like the Dodge. I don't hear Dodger propaganda.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
Estimate the freaking Dodgers because they won't.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Just for the record, Blair, listen to me all right,
If the Red Sox end up winning the World Series
next year and you call them, how about my Red Sox,
I'm gonna call you a fraud, a fraud, Blair.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
You don't need to say that. I said the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I mean no, no, no, I know you said the Dodger.
I'm saying if next year the Red Sox win the
World Series, I'm not going to allow you to celebrate.
How about that?
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Don't say that because the Red Sox are not gonna
be nearly as good as the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, you could be in the playoffs. You can tell
all you listen Toronto. Toronto got to the playoffs, they
played well for a month, they got to the World Series. Whatever,
All right, now, Blair, have you ever.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
Been see what they have in their schedule? They have Diamondbacks?
Then I'm I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Not talking about the baseball I'm not talking about the
baseball schedule for next year in November. I'm not. However,
have you ever been upset, Blair? Have you ever been
angry because of one of your favorite players got traded?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
No, but they're not going to trade anybody.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Okay, Well, listen to this, Blair. Hold on, hold on, Blair,
I want to play. So Sauce Gardner was traded from
the Jets to the Colts, and some some dude, some
dad decided, you know what, why don't we Why don't

Jets fans. We have that audio, coop, can we play that?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Here's the father telling his kids. He's got two young boys.
They're in the kitchen. You can't see this because it's radio.
This thing's gone viral though, But listen to the dad
telling the kid. Two cute little kids just love the
Jets because probably their dad loves the Jets. And listen
to the reaction. There's two kids, two little boys. Listen

Speaker 1 (28:45):
We activated crazy Blair. We were getting sporty Blair. Now
that is crazy Blair. It's amazing insight. Thank you. It's
a very fine line between the two as well.
Speaker 11 (28:55):
I don't know that I think I've been lucky enough
to wear like throughout my childhood as a sports fan,
I can't think of any trades that really hurt me
like that.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well, you would have to be a little kid to
react that way.
Speaker 11 (29:07):
That's what I'm saying, because I liked sports when I
was a kid, and I can't think of anything like
I tried to think.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I was like, you know, there was there was one
in my lifetime. There was one, but I was I
wasn't that young, but I was really upset. Who wasn't
The Rams on Halloween Night traded Eric Dickerson to the Colts.
That's good like that was that was he was the
whole team, and it just killed me.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
I was thinking, like, Okay, did I feel that way
when the Lakers traded Shack And I did kind of.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But at the same time, I was always a Kobe guy.
You were older, and they planted all those stories about
Shackman a fat ass and not hustling and not working
out and all that. I mean, but they were true
though they still planted the store. I mean, he admitted
to it. Yeah. One of the great quotes he said,
I got hurt on company time, I'm gonna heal on company. See.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
Stuff like that made it easier when when he got traded.
Speaker 10 (29:57):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
And plus there was the whole like you know, the
report of Kobe versus Shack, and.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So oh, I was there. They did not like each other, Yeah,
and so I was always to me when Kobe died,
that went away, But they didn't. They genuinely were annoyed
by each other. And Kobe was annoyed because Shaq kind
of just got by on raw talent and Kobe worked hard,
and Shaq was annoyed by Kobe because of uh, you know,
the way he played. Anyway, all right, I thank you, Blair.
I gotta go. There's a whoopee pie Blair. He'll be
(30:24):

Speaker 10 (31:34):
Since the gen z qb JJ.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
McCarthy kick Donkey against the Lions, who are lion that
they're a good team.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Let Joe Vikings.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh you're a Viking? Are you from Minnesota?
Speaker 8 (31:48):
Well?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
I have lived there, My parents are ah ha and

Speaker 10 (31:54):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Do you enjoy meat sauce? Apparently? Well where do you go? Oh?
I said, oh me put them on. Do you enjoy
meat sauce? Muscle Macho Man Dan, Yes, sir, you do
it all right? Very good? All right, so you thought
see McCarthy made a couple of big plays I didn't
think he played well though, Like overall, he wasn't consistent.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Consistency doesn't have to be consistent. If you win the
bleeding game.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
Yo, Yeah, what up?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Yo? What up? Yo?
Speaker 10 (32:28):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So there's really nothing I can say. You're feeling good.
The Vikings weren't. There were big dogs in that game.
They weren't supposed to win that game. They won the game.
So there's nothing I can say.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Right, yeah, exactly against against the Lions home team. It
was a fun game, man, that that game kicked donkey and.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It was fun to watch.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
The Lions are a good team, of course, but we're
a little better, you know, So.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, you know something about that that day. You were
better that day. I mean, I wouldn't get too excited.
McCarthy didn't even have one hundred and fifty passing yards.
I believe in that game that's not particularly great when
you have when you have two stuff, when you have
Jefferson and Addison, two stud receivers, you should be like
in the two fifties at least, I would.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Think, yeah, well Addison better be wearing a Didas and
you can tell Calverd the bear stuff too.
Speaker 1 (33:18):

Mike in New Hampshire
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number four. Our number four
is ready to go, and we play tror false go
to Philadelphia, truor false. Howie Roseman put the AJ Brown
trade rumors to bed once and for all by not
trading his wide receiver at the trade deadline? Does that
(00:22):
now end the conversation about AJ Brown being unhappy in Philadelphia? Also,
why would the Jets reject a deal for running back
Breece Hall from Kansas City. They could have gotten rid
of him. They're not trying to win, so what's the
point of that. Also, do you understand why the Dolphins
(00:44):
refuse to deal wide receiver Jalen Waddle to the Broncos.
Couple of players that were rumored to be traded, but
we're not traded. We'll talk about all that and more.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, the fifth day of November. Don't
forget Later today, Benny Versus the Penny is back on
YouTube the Benny vs. Penny Channel. Benny Vspenny will have
(01:06):
the Thursday special for the Raiders and the Broncos. But

at expresspros dot com. Remember that website. Find a location

better known as Whoopy by Blair says, Hey, how about
that DraftKings. That's right, player. This show is sponsored by
DraftKings Sportsbook, unofficial sports betting partner of the NFL and NBA.
(03:25):
Don't tell anybody actually watched an NBA game a little
bit last night. I'm not proud of it. Right now,
use promo code Mallard claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code Mallard m A L L E R
at DraftKings. The crown is yours, all right. So our
lead this hour is from the post mortem on the
(03:47):
trade deadline. We had big trades. Sauce Gardner the most
decorated NFL player to be traded at such a young age.
There had never been a team dumb enough like the
Jets to trade a two time All Pro at age
twenty five. It had never happened in the history of
the NFL until the Jets got involved, and we mentioned
(04:08):
this earlier. It was a full monologue. It's one of
the great suckers game of all time. It's the biggest
scam that works in all sports. It works in football, baseball, basketball, hockey,
all the major sports in the industrial complex of pro
sports in America that fans have been programmed to be
(04:30):
convinced that draft picks are the holy Grail. They're not.
They're not. And we did a monologue. You can go
back and listen to that later today. This hour, though,
I want to focus on the players that were not traded,
that were supposed to be traded. For example, in Philadelphia,
A J. Brown. Now, AJ Brown has been really good
(04:52):
for what I do. I like AJ Brown. AJ Brown.
I know a couple times during the NFL's season he
is going to have a full conniption fit, and I'm
there for it. I have a talk show to do
every day. I'm there. I'm happy. So AJ Brown has
been sulking for a couple of years in Philadelphia. Even
winning the Super Bowl did not stop the sulk. So
(05:17):
he's not happy, and it appears that the grumble in
Green will continue. You did not here despite widespread chatter,
a lot of chatter, and there were trade talks. The
Philadelphia Eagles ultimately failed failed to pull the trigger and
there was no deal. There was some chatter that the
(05:39):
couple of teams had stepped up to try to acquire
AJ Brown. The Eagles, though, did not trade him. He
stays in the Delaware Valley. Close but no cigar. So
now entering the chat from the right is Howie Roseman. Now,
Howie Roseman is very popular with the media. And tell
(06:00):
you what, Howie Roseman loves. He loves Howie Roseman, big fan.
Uh loves to stare at himself in the mirror. He's
like a stare like the gym guy. You know, the
Jim bro that stares at themselves in the mirror at
the gym. Yeah, he's that guy. At least that's the
way he comes across. So despite that, so Howie Roseman
spoke to the media in Philly and he explained the
logic behind not trading a player that clearly wasn't happy
(06:22):
in Philadelphia, clearly wanted to go somewhere else. He said, quote,
when you're trying to be a great team, it's hard
to trade great players. AJ Brown is a great player,
Roseman told reporters. So that is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss. We're gonna play the truer false game.
Do you like the true or false game? Good? If
(06:43):
you don't like it, deal with it. So true or false,
Howie Roseman, the GM in Philadelphia put the AJ Brown
trade chatter to bed once and for all. After all,
you would never trade AJ Brown because he's a player,
and the Eagles are always trying to be a great team.
So there should be no trade, ever, true or false.
(07:06):
How He Roseman, jam of the Eagles has now closed
the door on an AJ Brown trade. So I've got
Zodiac Killer, Disney Classic and Silverspoon, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are gonna make
(07:27):
the Gabba gul. We're gonna make the Gabba goool, and
some popcorn chicken to go with it. All right, So
to lead off here, my answer is false with a
capital F. False with a capital F. The big old Pinocchio,
big old Pinocchio nose alert. Now, if you listen between
the words on Howie Roseman, he did not this is
(07:50):
a key part. He did not at any point deny
deny the noise, meaning that this was a political answer.
We said an election on Tuesday, so this was a
political answer. He said, it's hard to trade great players.
(08:12):
Surely not impossible. If you look at the Mallar Rosetta stone,
the Rosetta stone translation, it is we tried, but nobody
meant the reserve price. That's essentially what Howie Roseman said.
We had a price. You know how you go to
auction and if you want that watch, you have to
(08:33):
meet the minimum reserve and nobody did it, meaning that
aj Brown was in the display case. He was on
all the websites, like a Louis Vuitton bag at a
pawn shop, and they just didn't get the right offer.
So that's the way I tell you. Great players again,
are traded all the time. It happens from sea to
(08:58):
shining sea. It's a regular thing. And the great talent migration,
the migration of players from team to team to team,
that's the thing that keeps the conversation fresh. How boring
would professional sports be if it's just the same players
on every team and they never change uniforms. It would
(09:19):
be dullan who wants that? Blah, that's no fun. It's fun.
Players changing teams is cool. It's like, Oh, the team's
gonna be better now we got new blood, young blood,
got young blood and all that stuff. So that aside
conversation's going here. So AJ Brown has been sending some
(09:41):
subtle and not so subtle cryptic messages. In fact, he
has sent so many cryptic messages on social media. If
only the Zodiac Killer had had social media. My god,
he's mad about his targets. Check. He's not happy with
jailor check check. He doesn't like the play calling check
(10:02):
check check. And Galen Hurts seems pretty fed up with
the whole situation. And so the relationship, it's like they
need a good couple's therapy session, the two of them there.
And so the Eagles and Howie Roseman can spin this
like a dradle all he wants, right, but they're one
bad game away from another sideline kerfluffel and a meltdown.
(10:28):
And so it's a supersized combo. Now what is the combo.
You've got drama O Rama, that's the main dish. You've
got the poudy face fries. Those are delicious. Get some
salt on those. You've got a milkshake of passive aggressive range.
You got all that. Now, remember the golden rule. Do
you remember the golden rule? Okay, the golden rule is
(10:50):
when production outweighs the aggregation, you keep the player. That's
the golden rule. When the aggravation outweighs the production. Bye
bye said, you said you shipped the player out. So
if you look at where they are in the circle
of AJ Brown, they clearly believe that the production is
(11:11):
still good enough to put up with the next time
that he has a nuclear meltdown on the sidelines are
on social media. So Philadelphia has been on the clock
with AJ Brown. So think how you can't trade him? Now?
The trade deadline is done for this year. That doesn't
mean once the season's over, even if the Eagles get
back to the super Bowl and win again, which is unlikely,
(11:34):
that AJ Brown is still very much in play to
be traded. And that's the way it is.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Furthermore, to cansa city we go where the Chiefs are
still licking their wounds after losing in Buffalo. Now we
were told that there was an offer. The Chiefs did
not make a signature move at the trade deadline, but
they tried. Now where do they try? There was an
(12:00):
offer on the table a fourth round draft pick. A
fourth round draft pick to the j e Ts. Suck, suck,
suck for Breas Hall. He's our running back, Breasseehall. Now,
Kansas City was more than willing to acquire the running
back Brease Hall. The Jets rejected the trade. They said, no, no, no,
(12:21):
we are steadfast. We want a third round pick and
we are not going to take anything less than a
third round picked. So they drew a line in the dirt. Okay, question,
why would the Jets, who are holding a going out
of business sale, why would they all of a sudden
(12:43):
draw a line in the sand when it comes to
running back? Brishall, can you explain that to me? Like
I'm five years old? All right, so I Am going
to put on my psychologist hat, give you some psychobabble.
My diagnosis, as doctor Maline. It's called being stubborn for
(13:04):
the sake of optics. That's what this is, right, The
Jets front office acting like a classic Disney character, not
Goofy Dumbo Dumbo. Right, yeah, either blow it up or
you don't blow it up. So seriously, it doesn't make sense.
(13:24):
I was texting some of my buddies. I don't really
talk to anyone. Why I just text them during the
afternoon when the trade after the trade deadline. So I'm
going back and forth with a couple people that are
in my circle, and I'm like, well, this doesn't make
any sense. I mean, they kind of went halfway, like
you're either in it or you're not in it. And
so it's like tearing down. It's like you buy a
(13:49):
bunch of real estate in the Tenderloin district and you're like, Okay,
so we're gonna tear down half the block here and
then the other half we're gonna leave as a shanty
town for the people that love their fentanyl. Right, We're
gonna leave that for them, Like why would you do that?
(14:09):
But here we are, right, this is what bad businesses do.
Forget about sports, it's just bad business. You go halfway,
you go all. I don't believe in the rebuild. I
think that's a scam. Also, so I wouldn't have done
what the Jets did. But if you're gonna go down
that road, you go all the way down the road.
You don't stop midway through. You gut the defense like
(14:34):
it's a salmon or a puffer fish. You gut the thing,
and yet you're holding on to your running back like
he's the reincarnation of Curtis Martin reincar. I mean, what
are you doing? Spoiler alert? You're one in seven. You
are what your record says you are. You stink. There's
(14:56):
a lot of stink. Everyone knows it. So why would
you do if a player didn't want to be there?
Like it's a disgruntled player, he sent out all these
obvious messages to get out of there. And there's Andy Reid,
you know who wanted to think how much fun that
(15:17):
would be? I'm in the fun business. I like fun.
I want fun. That would have been great. You imagine
Andy Reid calling up plays and mahomes little screen passes
and wild exotic running plays and all that stuff. And
Priest Hall could be dining on the Ben Mallard chicken
(15:38):
fingers there at the Landing and Liberty, Missouri and the
Bob Fesco pretzel and all that. I mean, how great
is that great food town? And instead, instead he's gonna
suck the year out with the Jets, And so the Jets,
in my opinion, have outsmarted themselves. The running back is
the most replaceable position on the team. And what's the
point of having a luxury runner back if you're getting
(16:01):
out of the winning business, and by all accounts, you're
more worried about just draft picks. Is your fan based
a bunch of morons and they love the skullduggery of
the draft, and so just go all in? In fact,
why not just hold competition, have tryouts? How would you
like to play for the Jets? Get some guys in
the Tri state area. They can play for the Jets,
(16:23):
and then you'll lose, and you're losing anyway, you'll pay
them less money and way to go. Last thing, Miami, Miami, Miami,
we go, we go to Miami, and another player who
was talked a lot about trading deadline time did not
get traded. The Dolphins decided, Eh, we're not going to
(16:45):
waddle away, and so they did not make a trade.
That the Dolphins were asking for a first round draft
pick in exchange for wide receiver Jalen Waddle. The team
in Miami did not get that offer, and so Jalen
Wattle remains a member of the Miami Dolphin football team.
(17:07):
Which means good weather, bad football, and a lot to do.
A good night life there in Miami, tropical paradise and
all that. So the Broncos, we are told, the Denver Broncos,
we're all hot and bothered little horny to get their
hands on Jalen Wattle. They wanted him on their team,
(17:27):
but they could not get the deal done. They did
not meet the reserve price for Jalen Wattle. So question,
do you understand why the Dolphins? Why the Dolphins refused
to deal Jalen Wattle to the Broncos even though the
Broncos did make a sizable artist offer. So on this one,
(17:49):
I'm nodding my head. Yes, Okay, I'm nodding my head. Yes,
on this I actually get it. Now, keep in mind,
we look at all of these things on a case
by case basis. We do. So I just mentioned if
I was the Jets, I would have gotten rid of
Breeze Hall. I don't need a luxury running back when
I'm not trying to win, because by the time the
(18:11):
Jets are ever good, of course we'll all be dead.
But by the time the Jets are good, Breeze Hall
will have too many miles on him, and what's the
point of having Here's the difference, though wide receivers are
in a different stratosphere. They just are in the modern
game of football. And so this is not like Brice
Hall as a running back. It doesn't make sense to
(18:33):
keep him the wide receiver. I get that running backs
are like plastic forks. You've ever been attached to a
plastic fork? No, you use it? You eat your potato salad,
and I don't like potato salad, but maybe you do,
and you eat it at the barbecue, and then you
throw the fork away. Single, use one and done. Now,
(18:55):
a wide receiver like Jalen Waddle is not Applai four.
He's a silver spoon, and that's what you want. You
go put that back in the drawer. You wash that
bad boy. You put that back in the drawer. You
don't throw that out. And only Juri Geller could bend
that silver spoon or any other hack magician. That's if
you want to learn how to do that, it's on YouTube.
(19:17):
You can learn how to bend a spoon. So good
magic trick there anyway. Jayalen Wattle is twenty six. I
believe I think I'm right on that mid twenties. He
signed a relatively big contract. He's locked up through twenty
twenty eight. They've already paid him. I believe the number
is seventy six million guaranteed, So that seems like a commitment,
(19:38):
seems like a marriage. He's a good player, like the
greatest wide receiver in the NFL. He's a productive receiver.
And Tyreek Hills days are numbered in Miami. He's hurt
right now. He's out for the rest of the year,
will likely be released at the end of the season,
which means he's done with the Dolphins and Jalen Wattle
becomes the rock of hard Rock Stadium. By the time
(20:00):
Jalen Wattle's contract's done, the Dolphins will go through no
less than three coaches because at some point Mike McDaniel
is going to be fired this year, so there'll be
an interim coach at least for a game or two.
So that'll be the second coach, and then there'll be
a third coach, and then there'll be another quarterback after
Tua is unloaded. How about tour for Kyler Murray? Would
(20:21):
that be an even trade? No, Well, buckle up, Jalen
wall It's gonna be like a Greyhound bus stake in
a bus station. A lot of coming and going a
lot of coming and going there. But I would rather
have Jalen Wattle than some draft pick. Now if he
was a running back, I would trade him. It is

Speaker 7 (23:17):
A lot more. I need to practice today, keep saying it,
but I don't and I need a practice time about.
Speaker 8 (23:23):
Them Dodgers, because what about them Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Bab Dude, you're a Red Sox fan. You're not a
Dodger fan. You're a Red Sox fan. No, no, no,
you're a You are a Red Sox fan. You don't
like the Dodgers. You disc when you moved from the
West Coast to Maine. You gave up the Dodgers. Do
not try to become a Dodger fan.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Now they did. There's like five five freaking fights in
the street, fireworks going off. That place was a riot.
The police were going going out and all the people
were causing like riots and stuff. Most and U people
didn't care. All those like gys in the streets, they
(24:05):
didn't care. It was just crazy watching it live on TikTok.
It was crazy watching it on live on TV.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
You said live on TikTok, Dude, you said, TikTok it
was And then it.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Was live on TV too, and I was live on
my road crew. It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Look at your plugging everything. You got road crew, you
got TikTok. Well it's funny, Ben.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
I actually didn't realize you could watch like games live
on TikTok. I was at Disney for the playoffs on Saturday,
and my cousin was using TikTok to watch the game
because they're streamers who are watching it live.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah. I don't know that that's a lot, but hey,
what the hell? Why not? I know, but it's kind
of like cheating the system a bit. You to beat
the man. There you go? Is that is that it? Blair?
Speaker 7 (24:51):
You do it, Ben, But I couldn't believe it. They
went into eleven innings like they were going. I thought
they were going to lose that game, and I never watched.
They thought they were going to lose, and they came
back eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
A time out of the time about you don't you
never I'm to make the freaking Dodgers. Okay, all right,
I'll stop you are now you're giving me Dodger propaganda.
I like the Dodge. I don't hear Dodger propaganda.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
Estimate the freaking Dodgers because they won't.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Just for the record, Blair, listen to me all right,
If the Red Sox end up winning the World Series
next year and you call them, how about my Red Sox,
I'm gonna call you a fraud, a fraud, Blair.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
You don't need to say that. I said the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I mean no, no, no, I know you said the Dodger.
I'm saying if next year the Red Sox win the
World Series, I'm not going to allow you to celebrate.
How about that?
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Don't say that because the Red Sox are not gonna
be nearly as good as the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, you could be in the playoffs. You can tell
all you listen Toronto. Toronto got to the playoffs, they
played well for a month, they got to the World Series. Whatever,
All right, now, Blair, have you ever.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
Been see what they have in their schedule? They have Diamondbacks?
Then I'm I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Not talking about the baseball I'm not talking about the
baseball schedule for next year in November. I'm not. However,
have you ever been upset, Blair? Have you ever been
angry because of one of your favorite players got traded?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
No, but they're not going to trade anybody.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Okay, Well, listen to this, Blair. Hold on, hold on, Blair,
I want to play. So Sauce Gardner was traded from
the Jets to the Colts, and some some dude, some
dad decided, you know what, why don't we Why don't
we f around with the the kids, the kids, big
Jets fans. We have that audio, coop, can we play that?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Here's the father telling his kids. He's got two young boys.
They're in the kitchen. You can't see this because it's radio.
This thing's gone viral though, But listen to the dad
telling the kid. Two cute little kids just love the
Jets because probably their dad loves the Jets. And listen
to the reaction. There's two kids, two little boys. Listen
(26:59):
to the reaction from the kid when he tells him.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
And.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
It's okay, okay, treated Sauce today.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
No, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I'll get you a different one. He went to Indianapolis
and they also treated I also treated.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Quentin Williams, he did, but so did Sauce.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
No, Quincy's still there. No, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Quentin Williams and the cow boys.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Sauce to the Okay, guess what, we got three first
round picks for it.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So we have three all right? You think a kid
cares about the first round? How sweet is that? That's great, man,
that's a real reaction. You never react like that, Blair.
You never react like that or.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
The like to jee like the coats.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Are you ripping a kid? Are you ripping a child?
That's wrong with you?
Speaker 8 (28:10):
Ohly good funny because you're really a child, you know.
Back in our days, we're a child. We're not like.
We never liked that, oh done little like the Colts on, No, we.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Like the Jets. So oh whoa wha wait wait wait
wait is.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
It Brett Farm or something like the suckiest quarterback we got?
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (28:27):
Oh yeah he was a Jet. Oh now he's a stealer.
Oh go, you a stiller, Nation. You get the worst
quarterback you can ever have, the worst quarterback you can
ever have. But you guys are doing pretty good.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Okay. See that's see, that's act what we did.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
There is stillar Nation.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
We activated crazy Blair. We were getting sporty Blair. Now
that is crazy Blair. It's amazing insight. Thank you. It's
a very fine line between the two as well.
Speaker 11 (28:55):
I don't know that I think I've been lucky enough
to wear like throughout my childhood as a sports fan,
I can't think of any trades that really hurt me
like that.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well, you would have to be a little kid to
react that way.
Speaker 11 (29:07):
That's what I'm saying, because I liked sports when I
was a kid, and I can't think of anything like
I tried to think.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I was like, you know, there was there was one
in my lifetime. There was one, but I was I
wasn't that young, but I was really upset. Who wasn't
The Rams on Halloween Night traded Eric Dickerson to the Colts.
That's good like that was that was he was the
whole team, and it just killed me.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
I was thinking, like, Okay, did I feel that way
when the Lakers traded Shack And I did kind of.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
But at the same time, I was always a Kobe guy.
You were older, and they planted all those stories about
Shackman a fat ass and not hustling and not working
out and all that. I mean, but they were true
though they still planted the store. I mean, he admitted
to it. Yeah. One of the great quotes he said,
I got hurt on company time, I'm gonna heal on company. See.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
Stuff like that made it easier when when he got traded.
Speaker 10 (29:57):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
And plus there was the whole like you know, the
report of Kobe versus Shack, and.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So oh, I was there. They did not like each other, Yeah,
and so I was always to me when Kobe died,
that went away, But they didn't. They genuinely were annoyed
by each other. And Kobe was annoyed because Shaq kind
of just got by on raw talent and Kobe worked hard,
and Shaq was annoyed by Kobe because of uh, you know,
the way he played. Anyway, all right, I thank you, Blair.
I gotta go. There's a whoopee pie Blair. He'll be
(30:24):
doing a podcast in twenty thirty eight, hollering James, are

Speaker 10 (31:34):
Since the gen z qb JJ.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
McCarthy kick Donkey against the Lions, who are lion that
they're a good team.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Let Joe Vikings.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh you're a Viking? Are you from Minnesota?

Do you enjoy meat sauce? Apparently? Well where do you go? Oh?
I said, oh me put them on. Do you enjoy
meat sauce? Muscle Macho Man Dan, Yes, sir, you do
it all right? Very good? All right, so you thought
see McCarthy made a couple of big plays I didn't
think he played well though, Like overall, he wasn't consistent.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Consistency doesn't have to be consistent. If you win the
bleeding game.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
Yo, Yeah, what up?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Yo? What up? Yo?
Speaker 10 (32:28):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So there's really nothing I can say. You're feeling good.
The Vikings weren't. There were big dogs in that game.
They weren't supposed to win that game. They won the game.
So there's nothing I can say.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Right, yeah, exactly against against the Lions home team. It
was a fun game, man, that that game kicked donkey and.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It was fun to watch.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
The Lions are a good team, of course, but we're
a little better, you know, So.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, you know something about that that day. You were
better that day. I mean, I wouldn't get too excited.
McCarthy didn't even have one hundred and fifty passing yards.
I believe in that game that's not particularly great when
you have when you have two stuff, when you have
Jefferson and Addison, two stud receivers, you should be like
in the two fifties at least, I would.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Think, yeah, well Addison better be wearing a Didas and
you can tell Calverd the bear stuff too.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
