Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four. We'll get right
to the crux of the matter. On this Wednesday, the
twenty third day of October, reports out of Boston speculating
that Gerrod Mayo is not not assured a second season
coaching the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
How do you assess that?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy have much different opinions
about Troy Aikman and his commentary about the Cowboy Receivers
will talk about all that and some surprises as well.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Here it is our number four. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
The men of Troy. Yeah, that's right, you heard what
I said, The Men of Troy.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show, we.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Are in the air ay where.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
A full bottle of fun as we fan the breeze
coast to coast, sport of the border hand beyond on
the mast and unforgettably powerful Mike prophones of fsre am
moinating live from the pillar.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
As we are your pillar of strength.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyrack
dot com will help you get Darren unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stars tyrack dot com The way tire buying
should be. I know ostrich Ad he lives in DC.
(01:42):
Haven't gotten any art from him in a while, but
he used to write these little drawings and a big
fan of show loves the show ten thousand times. But
our lead this hour is from the NFL Big Story Overnight,
the death of Fernando Valenzuela. If you are of a
certain aid, Fernando a bigger than life figure in baseball history.
(02:05):
And for my purposes, no, I don't know what happened
before my time, but in my life as a kid,
it was.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The first big phenom. Mania.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We had Linsanity, which has already probably been fifteen years ago,
Insanity something like that, but.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Fernando Mania was over the top, and unlike.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Linsanity with the Knickerbockers, Fernando Mania continues. And I did
a monologue it'll be up after the show's done here
on the podcast. The single most important La Dodger Dodger
all time Jackie Robinson in Brooklyn, but in La Fernando Valenzuela,
and nobody, nobody made the Dodgers more money than Fernando Valenzuela.
(02:53):
There are multiple generations that treat Dodger baseball like a religion,
and it's started with Fernando Alazuela. But I leave this
hours from the NFL. We go where the news of
the day takes us, and we're going to start out
in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Bad football makes good sports radio. It just does.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And the reason why is because there's a lot of
finger pointing and there's a lot of you know, this
guy screwed up.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's not my fault.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
See, you might know where I'm going, but maybe not.
There are some recent reports out of the Boston area
that indicate their head coach will not be given the
benefit of the doubt that Gerrod Mayo may find himself
on thin ice if the Patriots do not show any
signs of life during the remaining part of the twenty
(03:46):
twenty four NFL season.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Patriots won their first game against.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The Bengals, and it has been a death spiral ever.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Since that game.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
A Kma Kazi mission on a weekly basis for the Patriots,
so let us discuss. He questioned the reports out of Boston,
speculating that Jerrod Mayo.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Is not assured.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
In air quotes a second season coaching the patsis how
do you assess this one?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Fragility, cool hand, Luke and wonderbread and we'll put all
of this together and that will be the gold standard,
not a lead off. I don't buy the speculation. I
understand why you do it. You're engagement farming. But unless
(04:37):
I miss something, maybe I did, I don't know. I
don't see everything.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Robert Kraft, who's looks like he's losing it a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I've seen him interviewed. He's not as sharp. He's old,
that's what happens. And he's running the Patriots. This was,
if I'm not mistaken, his handpick coaching higher the chosen one.
Did he not go on?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think it was Amazon Patriots playing the Jets.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And he did an interview and he was like a
peacock walking around with the feathers out about how I
spotted this guy five years ago on a trip to
Israel and this is gonna be the greatest coach, and
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
He was patting himself on the back.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And so he decided back then that Gerard Mayo was
a prodigy that he had that Genesi Quah if you will,
checked every box.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And it's one of those cautionary tales.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Be careful what you wish for, because Mayo up until
this point has done an absolute terrible job. He is
running what appears to be a country club, the players
have run amuck. He then calls the players soft after
he allowed them to act this way right there were
no real rigid rules. He was gonna be the anti
Bill Belichick and he has been so. Not only are
(05:56):
the Patriots bad like they were with Belichick, but now they're.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Undisciplined and there's no signs of improvement so far.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Despite that, I don't believe that Gerrod Mayo will be
let go. I say he gets another year based on
the information I have at this time, based on fragility,
and I'm talking about the owner, even in the face
of what appears to be overwhelming evidence as we head
into week eight that he's not that guy. You're not
(06:27):
that guy. Pal Robert Kraft would have to rubber stamp
that he failed, that the owner picked the wrong guy.
They didn't do a national search, they didn't interview all
the top assistant coaches. They just hired somebody in house,
and Robert Kraft, what does he want more than anything
before he dies? He wants in the Hall of Fame.
(06:49):
And to admit that you fed up the most important
hire the guy that replaces Belichick. You already screwed up
the Tom Brady thing. You draft a guy that couldn't play.
Now you drafted another guy.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
We don't know whether he can.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Play or not, and so you'd have to admit you
f up on the coaching higre as well. So what
I see happening is the Patriots will win one or
two more games all year. They will then fire the
offensive coordinator, they will fire multiple assistant coaches, and Mayo
will stick around. Now, furthermore, we go to Dallas. How
(07:25):
about them cowboys? Yes, cowboys not living in a vacuum.
Everything is played out on television.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And radio and podcast. So Jerry Jones popped up on
our radar.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He did his weekly paid radio show, and he was
asked about the criticism, and we talked about this in
a previous episode or so, the criticism by Troy Aikman
who unloaded on the Dallas wide receivers. I took a
shot at the Dallas wide receivers and was very critical
(07:59):
of Ceedee Lamb in particular. So what do you think,
Jerry Jones said, We've.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Got the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Let's play a little taste this from Jerry's radio show
there on the other station, not the good one in
Dallas that we're not on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But here's Jerry Jones.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Troy's credible boy, and should be. And not only that,
you can imagine he's not just interested in taking a
whack at the Cowboys. He's very professional. I think he's
very fair. But fundamentally I was talking with Mike and
our players need to work on when they got tight coverage,
(08:35):
they need to work on pushing on through physical contact.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
All right, He had.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
More to say, but the key part there, Troy's credible,
very professional, think he's fair. He also later on Jerry
said that the coaching can improve and blah blah blah. Now,
Mike McCarthy said the other day that Aikman's comments, he said,
don't carry much weight. So you have a he said,
(09:04):
he said, situation. You've got Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy
who fundamentally disagree about the value of the commentary of
Troy Aikman on the Dallas wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
How do you evaluate this one? So this is a.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Cool hand loop situation. What we have is a failure
to commute. Kay we do. Troy Aigman is what he is,
a cow. He is a sacred cow for Jerry Jones.
Jerry Jones will never win.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Another Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Z owner the Cowboys, and so he has to go
back to the mid nineties to celebrate the good old days.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And that was Troy Aigman. It is amusing that if
you look at.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Jerry Jones, some radio schmuck says the same thing about
the Cowboy wide receivers, and Jerry wants to fire his ass, right,
Troy Aikman says it very fair, very professional. Jerry is
all over the map. Now, earlier in this same interview,
he said, now, actually this goes back a couple of months.
(10:09):
He had said the Cowboys could not afford Derrick Henry.
Now this week Jerry Jones says he's changed this to him.
He said that Derrick Henry, and I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I didn't think Henry would be this good? Who did?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But Derrick Henry, he said, did not fit the Dallas
Cowboys style of offense. So how do you interpret that.
Let me translate that for those of you in the
back of the room. Henry is an elite running back.
He is hungry to be part of a winning team.
He wants to play in big games and play well
in big games. Therefore, he does not fit what the
(10:47):
Dallas Cowboys would like to do.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's what Jerry said. I decoded, Jerry. I used my
superpowers of decoding to give you that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Now, last thing, we pivot now to the by you
in Louisiana, the shores of the Mighty Mississippi, where the
New Orleans Saints are a terrible football team and they
have signed running back Alvin Camara gets a two year
deal twenty four and a half million dollars an extension.
(11:18):
Camara now locked up through the twenty twenty six regular
season with the New Orleans football team.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
He's twenty nine years oldsman his.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Entire career in Louisiana and that will continue. So why
did Alvin Kamara after days of speculation about a trade,
why did he stay with the Saints. So it's a
no brainer, right, This one's a no brainer. This is Hey,
I don't really care if.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I ever win. It's a job.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And as Randy Moss famously said, straight cash, homie. Alvin
Kamara had, as I understand it, he had paid a
lot of money when he kicked the crap out of
that guy at the casino in Vegas and he got
sued and all that and.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Cost him a lot of money. So this is more money.
He's twenty nine. As mentioned, he's a running back.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is one of the dumbest moves you could possibly
make to give a twenty nine year old running back
more money.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It is a kin if you're a twenty nine year old.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Running back, it's like being a loaf of wonderbread that
is about to expire and you're squeezing out more dough
before it gets all mildewy and moldy.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And as I understand it, Alvin Kamara is going to
get twenty two million in New dollars, effectively fully guaranteed
money for what the Saints blow. And he's not exactly
lighting the world on fire, and they're just like, wow,
i'll give you twenty two million.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The other thing that must be mentioned, and this is
the Komodo dragon in the room. How have the salary
cap strapped New Orleans Saints been able to finagle more
money to pay al Kamara. Depending on which salary cap
nerd you look to. The Saints are in full on
(13:06):
salary cap purgatory. When I say purgatory, like sixty seventy
eighty million dollars in cap hell depending on some of
these websites. So the point of this it is a
teachable moment. Say it with me now, kids. The cap
is crap. The cap is crap. It is it's standard voodoo.
(13:30):
You said, wow, we don't have any money, we can't
pay anybody, but they just handed out more money. They
did it in theory because they lowered the salary cap
number next season for Alvin Kamara. It is all nonsense.
And if you are a salary cap person, if you
buy this nonsense, you are gullible.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, it is bull crap. You can manipulate the numbers.
You can.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
You can twist around the t's and the eyes and
all that stuff and mess around with it. And the
Saints are an example of that right now. And they'll
feel the full roster even if there are one hundred
million dollars over the cap because the cap is crap.
Hopefully this show is not crap. It is the Ben
(14:15):
Mahlor Show. You'd be the judge of that if you'd
like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Also on X at Ban Mallor that is at Ban Mahlor.
So NFL quarterbacks do the darnedest things. A starting quarterback
in the NFL was caught on camera during a game
(14:36):
doing what.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Now. This is not.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Amaron Rogers, although we don't follow up on the booger
picked round the NFL world.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
This is a different NFL.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Quarterback who has been caught red handed doing what.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
On the sideline Shuria game.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, you don't know, but I'll tell you. We'll get
to that and we will do it.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Next.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
We are rolling on all night into the early morning hours.
We began here with little football.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Some reports out of Boston about your Rod Mayo could
be a one and done.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Don't believe it because Robert Kraft would have to admit
he effed up.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
He does not want to admit he effed up. So
Mayo will.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Continue on no matter how bad it gets you. He's coaching,
as he says, a soft team. It is a terrible team.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
But now it's an undisciplined terrible team. So you got that.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Also, the I love the story with Mike McCarthy dismissing
Troy Aikman and then on his radio show, Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
A day or two later is like, oh yeah, I
value Troy Aikman.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh yeah, because Akman still has and forever will have
a place in the heart of Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No matter what, they will be.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
A side by side, right because Jerry's not gonna win again.
He knows that, and it doesn't really care because the
Cowboys are worth so much money, it is absurd. The
revenue the cowboys have. Next level, absolute, next level. All right,
it is the Ben Malors Show. We'll take the calls,
(16:53):
and who do we have. Let's say hello to what's
side legally blind Christopher, who is in Carolina, his heart
is in Michigan. And he upset me greatly yesterday on
the show. But he did apologize. Hello legally blind Christopher.
(17:15):
He blew me off.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Are you kidding me? All right, we'll hang up on him.
Let's go to Rob. I thought he was on hold Robin, Michigan.
Hello Rob?
Speaker 7 (17:24):

College of Engineering.

dropped out?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Rob?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
It was.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
I'm from northern Michigan. That that ann arbor, that whole
thing was just way too big for me.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, what part of what part of more what part
of northern the peninsula?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Is that what they call the peninsula?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Right?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
I'm the tip of the mit.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh you are You know I have a cousin that
lives in the peninsula up there.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
How about that? We all have cousins, said, what's that
resort town up there? What is that called? No, No,
give me something.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
Name Mullet Lake.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
There's Harbor Springs.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I'll look it up.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
None of that rings the bell. But I love HER's
a very nice woman. She used to live in Chicago.
It's very odd she my my cousin. She lived in Chicago.
She retired to the to the Upper Peninsula.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Isn't that wild?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Most most people go to Florida or Arizona. She retired
to Michigan.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Well, I I taught school in Bowling Green, Ohio?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And yeah, why are you.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Calling all of a sudden, like, what is the reason
for this? We've never saked to you before?
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Right right, you never talked to me before.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Why are we so?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Why are we so blessed to have you call us
and bless us with your presence here? Why tonight? Could
it be the mini bar? Could it be the alcohol
that's flowing? Could that be why?
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Gosh, joarn it, I wish the alcohol was flowing.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
No, you're not drinking at all? Can you can you
blow in the phone? Can you blow to the phone, sir?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah, it sounds like ben point eight.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
According to Lorraina, she's got the breathalyzer.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Oh man, I see, I've never been lucky with ladies either.
So sorry, so you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Didn't work out and it didn't work out in school
or with women? What has been successful in your life?
I can make sausage like, well, I did not expect
that answer.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I like the sausage, and it's you never want.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
To know how they make the sausage, right, They always say,
don't ever find out how they make this.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
You'll never eat sausage.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
That's a myth that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Angels like pig guts and parts of the animal. They
just shove it into a tube and they like cook it.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
And yeah, well, you know, go ahead, but you know,
make fun.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
But I would never.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I would never, as I'm a middle aged man. I
would never make fun of someone calling up the show.
And I want you to know, my guy, Eddie Garcia
is eating more sausage than anyone I know.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
He always says. Eddie says he loves the sausage. He
always tells the sausage, by the.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Way, Well, Lorena says she looked sausage too, and that's
all right?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Is that true, Lorena? You enjoy sausage.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
I've never said it personally, but I know this drop
that says it all the time, like the sausage Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But that's not you though, that's I don't know. That
sounds to me like the ghost of Karen Kay Is
what that sounds like? To play the game? Play again?
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, and you sausage.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
You just linked us the Manson murders.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So what again?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
For the record, I kind of like you.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
So you you have no luck with women, you strike.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Out, you've dropped out of the University of Michigan, but
your superpower is making sausage exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, how's it going for you?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Well?
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Not?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Well that all right?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Well, what was your agenda for calling? You had an agenda?
What was your no?
Speaker 8 (21:43):
I was just going to tell you that Bowling Green.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Rob we're a national show. You're killing us. You know
what you're doing. We want to hear about you sausage.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Okay, But Nick Saban, there you go.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Now we're going somewhere, Nick Saban, Here we go.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Nick Saban Urban Meyer, both coaches at Bowling Green God
damn it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
All right, I gotta go. All right.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Now, he's either heavily intoxicated or he's on the spectrum,
or possibly both.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I don't know, and that's fine.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We love our listeners.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Without the spectrum, we wouldn't have anyone calling the show.
But you know, let's go to legally blind Christopher.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Who's next?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Hello, legally blind Christopher? He says, he called back. He
said the mute button was on.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
His phone, so hear what's going on in my background?
Did you hang up on me? But that's okay, that's okay,
I don't mind.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I didn't hang up on you. We went to you,
you didn't talk, and then that was the problems.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Well, that's just that's what you used to do to me.
Hang up. That's all right.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well I should hang up on you. I should hang
up on you every time you call. After the little
stunt you pulled yesterday.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Oh no, wait a minute, that's that's completely fair. But
that's all right. And you want to blame me, I
can take it on. I'm a big boy, I got
big pants on. I can deal with.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
What did you call about?
Speaker 10 (23:07):
Well, I was trying to explain myself, so as I
was trying to say, as you were sitting to point out,
the NFL seems to be more concerned of rapidly firing coaches,
even though they're a monthly printing organization and have no
problem allowing owners to decide, Oh, today I don't like
so and so, so we'll get rid of them, and
(23:28):
then tomorrow, well maybe we'll just change fears and do
it again. I mean, look, what the just is Rogers
doesn't like what he gets to get rid of the
coaching staff, they're going to be a laughing stock for
ten years. So now all of a sudden we look
at Dallas. They don't like What's what's going on? Based
on what McCarthy's done. Hey, it's all his fault, mister Jones, Yeah,
(23:50):
what is the.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
What is the problem?
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Though?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That's the way it's always been in that business and
the way it should be in that business. It's a
high stakes game, and as the great philosopher Jerry Glanville
taught me when I was a little boy, the NFL.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yes must be a show about monsters, monster mash.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
All right, Marcel, I think you watched the Knickerbockers get
run off the court by the Celtics.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Oh, that's what the first Knickerbockers lost to the World
raigning champions. But I guarantee you it will be a
mixed match for that.

Los Angeles Lakers.

In a moment, I did want to mention Baker Mayfield
was caught on camera during the Bucks game on Monday night.
Bad enough that he played terribly for most of that game,
but the cameras they are caught good old Baker on
the sidelines and I guess he needed a little bit
of a pick me up, so he had one of
those you know, those z in things, those nicotine things.
He had one on the silence during the game. And
(31:49):
I think he's the second NFL player this year that's
been caught on camera. What's it around with that? I
guess it's not illegal. I get I don't do whatever.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
At the time, it was old lose, did not lose,
Hello and welcome. It's our number four. We'll get right
to the crux of the matter. On this Wednesday, the
twenty third day of October, reports out of Boston speculating
that Gerrod Mayo is not not assured a second season
coaching the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
How do you assess that?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy have much different opinions
about Troy Aikman and his commentary about the Cowboy Receivers
will talk about all that and some surprises as well.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Here it is our number four. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
The men of Troy. Yeah, that's right, you heard what
I said, The Men of Troy.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show, we.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Are in the air ay where.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
A full bottle of fun as we fan the breeze
coast to coast, sport of the border hand beyond on
the mast and unforgettably powerful Mike prophones of fsre am
moinating live from the pillar.
Speaker 2 (01:18):

(01:42):
Haven't gotten any art from him in a while, but
he used to write these little drawings and a big
fan of show loves the show ten thousand times. But
our lead this hour is from the NFL Big Story Overnight,
the death of Fernando Valenzuela. If you are of a
certain aid, Fernando a bigger than life figure in baseball history.
(02:05):
And for my purposes, no, I don't know what happened
before my time, but in my life as a kid,
it was.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The first big phenom. Mania.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We had Linsanity, which has already probably been fifteen years ago,
Insanity something like that, but.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Fernando Mania was over the top, and unlike.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Linsanity with the Knickerbockers, Fernando Mania continues. And I did
a monologue it'll be up after the show's done here
on the podcast. The single most important La Dodger Dodger
all time Jackie Robinson in Brooklyn, but in La Fernando Valenzuela,
and nobody, nobody made the Dodgers more money than Fernando Valenzuela.
(02:53):
There are multiple generations that treat Dodger baseball like a religion,
and it's started with Fernando Alazuela. But I leave this
hours from the NFL. We go where the news of
the day takes us, and we're going to start out
in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Bad football makes good sports radio. It just does.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And the reason why is because there's a lot of
finger pointing and there's a lot of you know, this
guy screwed up.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's not my fault.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
See, you might know where I'm going, but maybe not.
There are some recent reports out of the Boston area
that indicate their head coach will not be given the
benefit of the doubt that Gerrod Mayo may find himself
on thin ice if the Patriots do not show any
signs of life during the remaining part of the twenty
(03:46):
twenty four NFL season.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Patriots won their first game against.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The Bengals, and it has been a death spiral ever.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Since that game.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
A Kma Kazi mission on a weekly basis for the Patriots,
so let us discuss. He questioned the reports out of Boston,
speculating that Jerrod Mayo.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Is not assured.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
In air quotes a second season coaching the patsis how
do you assess this one?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Fragility, cool hand, Luke and wonderbread and we'll put all
of this together and that will be the gold standard,
not a lead off. I don't buy the speculation. I
understand why you do it. You're engagement farming. But unless
(04:37):
I miss something, maybe I did, I don't know. I
don't see everything.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Robert Kraft, who's looks like he's losing it a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I've seen him interviewed. He's not as sharp. He's old,
that's what happens. And he's running the Patriots. This was,
if I'm not mistaken, his handpick coaching higher the chosen one.
Did he not go on?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think it was Amazon Patriots playing the Jets.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And he did an interview and he was like a
peacock walking around with the feathers out about how I
spotted this guy five years ago on a trip to
Israel and this is gonna be the greatest coach, and
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
He was patting himself on the back.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And so he decided back then that Gerard Mayo was
a prodigy that he had that Genesi Quah if you will,
checked every box.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And it's one of those cautionary tales.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Be careful what you wish for, because Mayo up until
this point has done an absolute terrible job. He is
running what appears to be a country club, the players
have run amuck. He then calls the players soft after
he allowed them to act this way right there were
no real rigid rules. He was gonna be the anti
Bill Belichick and he has been so. Not only are
(05:56):
the Patriots bad like they were with Belichick, but now they're.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Undisciplined and there's no signs of improvement so far.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Despite that, I don't believe that Gerrod Mayo will be
let go. I say he gets another year based on
the information I have at this time, based on fragility,
and I'm talking about the owner, even in the face
of what appears to be overwhelming evidence as we head
into week eight that he's not that guy. You're not
(06:27):
that guy. Pal Robert Kraft would have to rubber stamp
that he failed, that the owner picked the wrong guy.
They didn't do a national search, they didn't interview all
the top assistant coaches. They just hired somebody in house,
and Robert Kraft, what does he want more than anything
before he dies? He wants in the Hall of Fame.
(06:49):
And to admit that you fed up the most important
hire the guy that replaces Belichick. You already screwed up
the Tom Brady thing. You draft a guy that couldn't play.
Now you drafted another guy.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
We don't know whether he can.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Play or not, and so you'd have to admit you
f up on the coaching higre as well. So what
I see happening is the Patriots will win one or
two more games all year. They will then fire the
offensive coordinator, they will fire multiple assistant coaches, and Mayo
will stick around. Now, furthermore, we go to Dallas. How
(07:25):
about them cowboys? Yes, cowboys not living in a vacuum.
Everything is played out on television.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And radio and podcast. So Jerry Jones popped up on
our radar.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He did his weekly paid radio show, and he was
asked about the criticism, and we talked about this in
a previous episode or so, the criticism by Troy Aikman
who unloaded on the Dallas wide receivers. I took a
shot at the Dallas wide receivers and was very critical
(07:59):
of Ceedee Lamb in particular. So what do you think,
Jerry Jones said, We've.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Got the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Let's play a little taste this from Jerry's radio show
there on the other station, not the good one in
Dallas that we're not on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But here's Jerry Jones.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Troy's credible boy, and should be. And not only that,
you can imagine he's not just interested in taking a
whack at the Cowboys. He's very professional. I think he's
very fair. But fundamentally I was talking with Mike and
our players need to work on when they got tight coverage,
(08:35):
they need to work on pushing on through physical contact.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
All right, He had.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
More to say, but the key part there, Troy's credible,
very professional, think he's fair. He also later on Jerry
said that the coaching can improve and blah blah blah. Now,
Mike McCarthy said the other day that Aikman's comments, he said,
don't carry much weight. So you have a he said,
(09:04):
he said, situation. You've got Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy
who fundamentally disagree about the value of the commentary of
Troy Aikman on the Dallas wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
How do you evaluate this one? So this is a.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Cool hand loop situation. What we have is a failure
to commute. Kay we do. Troy Aigman is what he is,
a cow. He is a sacred cow for Jerry Jones.
Jerry Jones will never win.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Another Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Z owner the Cowboys, and so he has to go
back to the mid nineties to celebrate the good old days.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And that was Troy Aigman. It is amusing that if
you look at.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Jerry Jones, some radio schmuck says the same thing about
the Cowboy wide receivers, and Jerry wants to fire his ass, right,
Troy Aikman says it very fair, very professional. Jerry is
all over the map. Now, earlier in this same interview,
he said, now, actually this goes back a couple of months.
(10:09):
He had said the Cowboys could not afford Derrick Henry.
Now this week Jerry Jones says he's changed this to him.
He said that Derrick Henry, and I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I didn't think Henry would be this good? Who did?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But Derrick Henry, he said, did not fit the Dallas
Cowboys style of offense. So how do you interpret that.
Let me translate that for those of you in the
back of the room. Henry is an elite running back.
He is hungry to be part of a winning team.
He wants to play in big games and play well
in big games. Therefore, he does not fit what the
(10:47):
Dallas Cowboys would like to do.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's what Jerry said. I decoded, Jerry. I used my
superpowers of decoding to give you that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Now, last thing, we pivot now to the by you
in Louisiana, the shores of the Mighty Mississippi, where the
New Orleans Saints are a terrible football team and they
have signed running back Alvin Camara gets a two year
deal twenty four and a half million dollars an extension.
(11:18):
Camara now locked up through the twenty twenty six regular
season with the New Orleans football team.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
He's twenty nine years oldsman his.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Entire career in Louisiana and that will continue. So why
did Alvin Kamara after days of speculation about a trade,
why did he stay with the Saints. So it's a
no brainer, right, This one's a no brainer. This is Hey,
I don't really care if.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I ever win. It's a job.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And as Randy Moss famously said, straight cash, homie. Alvin
Kamara had, as I understand it, he had paid a
lot of money when he kicked the crap out of
that guy at the casino in Vegas and he got
sued and all that and.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Cost him a lot of money. So this is more money.
He's twenty nine. As mentioned, he's a running back.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is one of the dumbest moves you could possibly
make to give a twenty nine year old running back
more money.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It is a kin if you're a twenty nine year old.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Running back, it's like being a loaf of wonderbread that
is about to expire and you're squeezing out more dough
before it gets all mildewy and moldy.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And as I understand it, Alvin Kamara is going to
get twenty two million in New dollars, effectively fully guaranteed
money for what the Saints blow. And he's not exactly
lighting the world on fire, and they're just like, wow,
i'll give you twenty two million.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The other thing that must be mentioned, and this is
the Komodo dragon in the room. How have the salary
cap strapped New Orleans Saints been able to finagle more
money to pay al Kamara. Depending on which salary cap
nerd you look to. The Saints are in full on
(13:06):
salary cap purgatory. When I say purgatory, like sixty seventy
eighty million dollars in cap hell depending on some of
these websites. So the point of this it is a
teachable moment. Say it with me now, kids. The cap
is crap. The cap is crap. It is it's standard voodoo.
(13:30):
You said, wow, we don't have any money, we can't
pay anybody, but they just handed out more money. They
did it in theory because they lowered the salary cap
number next season for Alvin Kamara. It is all nonsense.
And if you are a salary cap person, if you
buy this nonsense, you are gullible.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, it is bull crap. You can manipulate the numbers.
You can.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
You can twist around the t's and the eyes and
all that stuff and mess around with it. And the
Saints are an example of that right now. And they'll
feel the full roster even if there are one hundred
million dollars over the cap because the cap is crap.
Hopefully this show is not crap. It is the Ben
(14:15):
Mahlor Show. You'd be the judge of that if you'd
like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Also on X at Ban Mallor that is at Ban Mahlor.
So NFL quarterbacks do the darnedest things. A starting quarterback
in the NFL was caught on camera during a game
(14:36):
doing what.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Now. This is not.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Amaron Rogers, although we don't follow up on the booger
picked round the NFL world.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
This is a different NFL.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Quarterback who has been caught red handed doing what.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
On the sideline Shuria game.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, you don't know, but I'll tell you. We'll get
to that and we will do it.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Next.

We are rolling on all night into the early morning hours.
We began here with little football.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Some reports out of Boston about your Rod Mayo could
be a one and done.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Don't believe it because Robert Kraft would have to admit
he effed up.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
He does not want to admit he effed up. So
Mayo will.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Continue on no matter how bad it gets you. He's coaching,
as he says, a soft team. It is a terrible team.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
But now it's an undisciplined terrible team. So you got that.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Also, the I love the story with Mike McCarthy dismissing
Troy Aikman and then on his radio show, Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
A day or two later is like, oh yeah, I
value Troy Aikman.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh yeah, because Akman still has and forever will have
a place in the heart of Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No matter what, they will be.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
A side by side, right because Jerry's not gonna win again.
He knows that, and it doesn't really care because the
Cowboys are worth so much money, it is absurd. The
revenue the cowboys have. Next level, absolute, next level. All right,
it is the Ben Malors Show. We'll take the calls,
(16:53):
and who do we have. Let's say hello to what's
side legally blind Christopher, who is in Carolina, his heart
is in Michigan. And he upset me greatly yesterday on
the show. But he did apologize. Hello legally blind Christopher.
(17:15):
He blew me off.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Are you kidding me? All right, we'll hang up on him.
Let's go to Rob. I thought he was on hold Robin, Michigan.

thing was just way too big for me.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, what part of what part of more what part
of northern the peninsula?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Is that what they call the peninsula?
Speaker 3 (18:03):

Speaker 8 (18:03):
I'm the tip of the mit.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh you are You know I have a cousin that
lives in the peninsula up there.
Speaker 2 (18:10):

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I'll look it up.
Speaker 7 (18:28):

Speaker 1 (18:29):
None of that rings the bell. But I love HER's
a very nice woman. She used to live in Chicago.
It's very odd she my my cousin. She lived in Chicago.
She retired to the to the Upper Peninsula.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Isn't that wild?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Most most people go to Florida or Arizona. She retired
to Michigan.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Well, I I taught school in Bowling Green, Ohio?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And yeah, why are you.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Calling all of a sudden, like, what is the reason
for this? We've never saked to you before?
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Right right, you never talked to me before.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Why are we so?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Why are we so blessed to have you call us
and bless us with your presence here? Why tonight? Could
it be the mini bar? Could it be the alcohol
that's flowing? Could that be why?
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Gosh, joarn it, I wish the alcohol was flowing.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
No, you're not drinking at all? Can you can you
blow in the phone? Can you blow to the phone, sir?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah, it sounds like ben point eight.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
According to Lorraina, she's got the breathalyzer.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Oh man, I see, I've never been lucky with ladies either.
So sorry, so you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Didn't work out and it didn't work out in school
or with women? What has been successful in your life?
I can make sausage like, well, I did not expect
that answer.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I like the sausage, and it's you never want.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
To know how they make the sausage, right, They always say,
don't ever find out how they make this.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
You'll never eat sausage.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
That's a myth that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Angels like pig guts and parts of the animal. They
just shove it into a tube and they like cook it.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
And yeah, well, you know, go ahead, but you know,
make fun.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
But I would never.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I would never, as I'm a middle aged man. I
would never make fun of someone calling up the show.
And I want you to know, my guy, Eddie Garcia
is eating more sausage than anyone I know.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
He always says. Eddie says he loves the sausage. He
always tells the sausage, by the.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Way, Well, Lorena says she looked sausage too, and that's
all right?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Is that true, Lorena? You enjoy sausage.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
I've never said it personally, but I know this drop
that says it all the time, like the sausage Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But that's not you though, that's I don't know. That
sounds to me like the ghost of Karen Kay Is
what that sounds like? To play the game? Play again?
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, and you sausage.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
You just linked us the Manson murders.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So what again?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
For the record, I kind of like you.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
So you you have no luck with women, you strike.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Out, you've dropped out of the University of Michigan, but
your superpower is making sausage exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, how's it going for you?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Well?
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Not?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Well that all right?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Well, what was your agenda for calling? You had an agenda?
What was your no?
Speaker 8 (21:43):
I was just going to tell you that Bowling Green.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Rob we're a national show. You're killing us. You know
what you're doing. We want to hear about you sausage.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Okay, But Nick Saban, there you go.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Now we're going somewhere, Nick Saban, Here we go.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Nick Saban Urban Meyer, both coaches at Bowling Green God
damn it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
All right, I gotta go. All right.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Now, he's either heavily intoxicated or he's on the spectrum,
or possibly both.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I don't know, and that's fine.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We love our listeners.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Without the spectrum, we wouldn't have anyone calling the show.
But you know, let's go to legally blind Christopher.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Who's next?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Hello, legally blind Christopher? He says, he called back. He
said the mute button was on.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
His phone, so hear what's going on in my background?
Did you hang up on me? But that's okay, that's okay,
I don't mind.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I didn't hang up on you. We went to you,
you didn't talk, and then that was the problems.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Well, that's just that's what you used to do to me.
Hang up. That's all right.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well I should hang up on you. I should hang
up on you every time you call. After the little
stunt you pulled yesterday.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Oh no, wait a minute, that's that's completely fair. But
that's all right. And you want to blame me, I
can take it on. I'm a big boy, I got
big pants on. I can deal with.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
What did you call about?
Speaker 10 (23:07):
Well, I was trying to explain myself, so as I
was trying to say, as you were sitting to point out,
the NFL seems to be more concerned of rapidly firing coaches,
even though they're a monthly printing organization and have no
problem allowing owners to decide, Oh, today I don't like
so and so, so we'll get rid of them, and
(23:28):
then tomorrow, well maybe we'll just change fears and do
it again. I mean, look, what the just is Rogers
doesn't like what he gets to get rid of the
coaching staff, they're going to be a laughing stock for
ten years. So now all of a sudden we look
at Dallas. They don't like What's what's going on? Based
on what McCarthy's done. Hey, it's all his fault, mister Jones, Yeah,
(23:50):
what is the.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
What is the problem?
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Though?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That's the way it's always been in that business and
the way it should be in that business. It's a
high stakes game, and as the great philosopher Jerry Glanville
taught me when I was a little boy, the NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Means not for long.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
And if you suck at your job, they don't wait around.
They bring somebody else in. And that's the way it
should be.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Got in Detroit, we can he coaches forever if we
have an old senile former owner to keep them there forever.
As long as you get liked, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
They have a good coach now, so they're no longer
on the hamster wheel of mediocrates, so they have some of.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Those what they're doing because of the new ownership. The
daughter's taken over to run the day to day, not
old senile forward. I mean, it's like, what do you expect,
you're getting old?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I gotta go, thank you, I gotta go.

was caught on camera during the Bucks game on Monday night.
Bad enough that he played terribly for most of that game,
but the cameras they are caught good old Baker on
the sidelines and I guess he needed a little bit
of a pick me up, so he had one of
those you know, those z in things, those nicotine things.
He had one on the silence during the game. And
(31:49):
I think he's the second NFL player this year that's
been caught on camera. What's it around with that? I
guess it's not illegal. I get I don't do whatever.
