Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh maha, o maha, oh maha. It's our number four
on this Monday, the fourth day of August twenty twenty five,
and we go where the stories of the day take us,
for example, the Greater Washington, DC area, where Commander's coach
Dan Quinn recently commented on Tarry mclaurin's reported trade request
(00:21):
by saying, quote, it's an emotional time. Are you buying this? Also,
Bill's running back James Cook skipped practice over the weekend.
He was on one of those exercise bikes on the sidelines,
even though he was healthy. What do you make of
this latest plot twist with the Bill's running back James
Cook and Chiefs wide receiver Rashie Rice says that he
(00:44):
has completely changed since the car crash when he was
racing in Texas. Is this something or nothing in terms
of him changing his ways? We'll go there as well.
Settle in. It's our number four. Have a wonderful, a glorious,
glorious rest of your Monday. But here it is our
(01:06):
number four. The raw emotion of it all. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, hand in glove as
we are confusion and delusion getting together coast to coast,
(01:29):
border to border and beyond on the vast and here
splittingly powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from the tongue,
the old slip of the tongue on the Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Spiccoli working the dreaded day
shift in North Carolina and all the rest. This portion
(01:51):
of the Ben Mahlor Show on Fox made possible by
our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Is it time for
a new job, then it's time for Express Employment Professionals quit.
The endless online job search enlists the pros and Express
never charges job seekers a fee. Go to expresspros dot com.
(02:12):
So our lead this hour is from the greater DC area.
This is not an homage to Rick in Maryland morning time,
but instead instead I thought this was an interesting story
some recent comments made by Dan Quinn, medicine man, the
head coach of the Washington football team formerly known as
the Redskins. So Dan Quinn said he was informed by
(02:34):
wide receiver Terry McLaurin ahead of time that the very public,
very public trade request that was made in recent days
was coming and Quinn said, they hoped to bring him back,
but it is not a distraction for them. Now, this
is one of my favorite parts of professional sports. No
one ever wants to admit anything as a distraction. Coaches
(02:58):
are programmed from a young age. Nothing is a destruction. No, no, no,
no no. And then of course we know that the
reality is often something different. But Quinn said, this is
not eight our structure. And he said, then if you
didn't see this, maybe not. He gave the money quote
dan Quinn saying that quote, it is an emotional time
(03:20):
for mclauren and the team. It's a pretty good jumping
off point. We'll expand on that. We'll parse the words
of the head coach of the Washington football team. So
let us discuss the question Commander's coach Dan Quinn recently
commenting Ontarry mclaurin's reported trade request by saying, it is
(03:40):
an emotional time. Are you buying this? So I've got
copyrighted widget and hippo and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some delicious,
delicious beef with rice. Will beef with the right Asian
beef with the guse that's the way to do it
(04:02):
a lot of pepper peppered up pretty good, all right.
So to kick off here to answer the question, are
you buying what dan Quinn is selling? I am going
to go n plus oh as in no, all right,
I'm not buying it, not for a second. And it's
it does come across in the neighborhood. It might be
(04:25):
a suburb, but the neighborhood of condescending, does it not.
It's one of those boiler plate lines you toss out.
It's a deflection by dan Quinn, the coach in Washington,
basically calling your player publicly emotional. He's too emotionally for clem,
he's acting irrational. That you're essentially saying that these players
(04:48):
acting irrational. You're not using the word irrational, but you're
saying emotion, which you could connect the dots, and that's
a So you're trying to also duck account of ability,
which is another part of this. Am I getting too
deep into the psychobabble. So it's classic dan Quinn. No
matter how many broadcasters lick this guy told, this guy's
(05:10):
told I don't trust him. I don't trust dan Quinn.
And here's why. This is the same guy who was
coaching the Atlanta Falcons, and I'm pretty sure if I
remember correctly, at the time, he said it was an
emotional time after they gagged blew a twenty eight to
three lead in the freaking Super Bowl against the New
England Patriots, and that was an emotional time. So I
(05:32):
guess he's got it copyrighted that phrase, it's an emotional time.
How about bad time? How about bad time? Can we
get bad time for a thousand, Steve? Can I get
bad bad time? Because you screwed up? In this case,
the team is screwing around. McLaurin has every right to
be ticked off, every single right, and playing in Washington
(05:56):
while you're making good money, it's not like he was
making no money. In the eye of the NFL, that
was seen as sodom and gomorra. That was hell. And
he's had what nine to ten I don't know how
many different quarterbacks as McLaurin had since he got drafted,
in a rotation at the quarterback position of misfits, backups
(06:18):
never worse and never will bes and emergency options for
the Washington football team. So McLaurin has been dragging the
franchise through the mud. Like Atlas, he's been doing that
and with the world on his shoulders in that football environment.
Not to be too dramatic here, and now they finally
(06:38):
have their forever quarterback eligedly we'll see if he can
back up his rookie year. But Jayden Daniels, who might
mikes a weezel word, might actually be the real McCoy,
the real deal, authentic at all that. And now they
don't want to pay the one consistent option that they've
had through all the darkness. Now that they see some
(06:59):
light at the end of the tunnel, they want none
of that. And so it's like you get your hands
on a Bentley at quarterback and suddenly, all of a
sudden they decide, Hey, we're gonna cut some coupons here.
We're gonna we're gonna do some coupon clipping, is what
we're gonna do. And it starts with you. And so
I know, in my years in broadcasting, I know what
(07:20):
that's like. I know that conversation. I've I've got that
memorized in my contract negotiations over the years. I know
the we really wish we could tain counter of you. Unfortunately,
uh kend on doing all these tough economic times. I'm
sure they're telling McLaurin the same thing. I know it,
I have it verbatim. I know all the talking points.
We can change notes, exchange notes, me and McLaurin. Uh So,
(07:44):
maybe we'll do a bake sale for the Washington football
team and do a fifty to fifty raffle. That's always good, right,
We'll see if we can raise funds to pay the
top pass catcher for Jade and Daniels. Give me a break. Uh.
In that world, there is so much money, so much
funny money. The optics terrible, and all you idiots told
me they got rid of Dan Snyder. This is not
(08:04):
gonna be the same old Washington football team. Dan Snyder's
gone all that stuff, and they took a victory lap.
They're like, all right, we got no ownership or here,
we're in it to win it and all that stuff. Okay,
So right now as we speak, it feels the same.
It feels the same tone deaf garbage, tone deaf garbage.
That that's the same that they were serving for the
(08:26):
better part of a decade plus, exactly the same. And
you know, same old commanders, a different name, different logo,
all that stuff, and so that's the thanks, that's the thanks.
Terry McLaurin gets right there. It's arrogant, lazy, tone deaf
all that stuff. And if the commanders, if the commanders
really botch this, really screw it up, which is in
(08:48):
the realm of possibility, then they deserve all the dysfunction
that goes their way. And trade McLaurin and you get
some traf pick in return. Good luck on that now. Furthermore,
speaking of AHAFL players, let's go down to Buffalo where
the Buffalo roam, and that's where Bill's running back, James
Cook is not roaming anywhere. No, he's not. He did
(09:11):
not participate in a mandatory mandatory practice for the first
time since seeking money, money money, getting that extension from
the Buffalo football team, Cook worked out on a stationary
bike while the rest of his teammates, the rest of
his coworkers were out there running practice, running drills and
all that stuff. So, following the workout, Cook was asked
(09:33):
whether it was his choice, whether it was his choice
not to practice, or whether he was holding in, or
whether he planned to practice later here today on Monday,
And to every one of those questions, he simply said
one word. It starts with a bee. That's right, business. Business.
(09:55):
The bill said no comment. They didn't say business. They
said no comment when asked about James Cook, who is
in the final year of the rookie contract and he
wants the money trained to make a stop in his
town and he's not participating, did not participate in practice
over the weekend. So what do you make of the
latest plot twist for James Cook? Running back unhappy Buffalo bills.
(10:20):
So I've got now James Cook skipped practice is saying business.
He kept saying business. It's another running back, another running
back who thinks he has leverage in twenty twenty five.
So I'm going to take the opposite position, unlike Terry McLaurin,
who had done it a long time in Washington. And
certainly it's a reasonable short term extension. Big money for
(10:41):
McLaurin makes a lot of sense in this case. For
James Cook is a robot practice. No practice business business
business business, business is bad business if you ask me,
not bad bunny, it's bad business. Right. It's a bridge
to nowhere, is what it is. And this is a
text book example when it comes to know your position
(11:04):
know your place right, textbook example of a player over
playing their hand. In this case, the NFL has spoken
for years and they've told us that running backs are interchangeable.
Oh what about to Philadelphia Eagles they want? Okay, Yeah,
So Cook is not the class of running back that
(11:25):
Sakwan Barkley is. He's not Derrick Henry or even Christian McCaffrey.
When McCaffrey plays once out of every three years and
is healthy, he's a solid back, a system player. That's it.
That's all. Therefore, I would say it's delusional. It's the
equivalent of the guy at the drive through window who's
(11:47):
demanding a signing bonus. Now, listen, we all need people
to work at the drive through window. Do we need
to give them signing bonuses? Like? You know, come on,
It's like in this case, you're on the rookie deal.
You're a mid tier unhack. Does anyone think he's more
than a mid tier running back? James Cook is a
mid tier running back. You are not the center of
the universe in Buffalo. You will never be as long
(12:09):
as Josh Allen is there. And more importantly, the Buffalo
Bills figure they can go plunk or pluck, rather pluck
some running back out of some CFL team, like my
favorite CFL team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. We were in Vancouver,
had a chance to meet a former Winnipeg Blue Bombers
ball boy who was at the event there in Vancouver.
(12:30):
But you know this, and these running backs maybe not
as good as James Cook, but you can get somebody
out of the Canadian footballague will do eighty five percent
of what he can do and you can piece meal
it together. That's the point. And running backs are a
system position now. They're widgets, is what they are. Outside
of five guys. And I'm not talking about the over
priced burger restaurant. I'm talking about five guys. You have
(12:53):
no leverage, no leverage. And James Cook is not on
that five guys big board. He's not. He's not a
nice player, nice ball player, I'll give them that. But
the idea that you can strong arm the bills that
this is going to end up with a happy ending,
good luck. They don't blink. Running backs, they don't blink
(13:13):
for it doesn't happen. You know what they do. I'll
tell you what they do again. I've seen this before.
They move on see a later alligator bye bye, and
guess what the fan base moves on. Also, they've all
been brainwashed as well that running backs don't matter now.
Back in my day, when I was a kid, the
running back was actually more important than the quarterback. But
(13:34):
I'm old, and the fantasy football guys care more than
the front office does about running backs because for fantasy football,
the running back is still head and shoulders above just
about everyone else. And that's the business the business of
the NFL that ash Football league, and the business model
does not does not include, according to the analytics, paying
(13:55):
a running back big money anymore unless you are again elite,
elite believe and James Cook until proven otherwise, is a
complementary piece to the puzzle, right, Not a corner piece.
Not a corner piece, not central to the puzzle. The
jigsaw puzzle is part of it. It's like an engine.
(14:16):
He's part of the engine, not the engine. And that's
the issue here. So it's not gonna end. Well, it's
gonna end the same way that it always does and
not in the player's favor. All right, final thing, last thing.
We go to Kansas City, where the Ben Malard chicken
fingers are piping hot over at the landing in Liberty, Missouri.
(14:36):
And the chiefs have they figured out their Rice situation?
Say what? Rashie Rice comments he made recently. Rashie Rice,
the wide receiver there in Kansas City, says he has
quote completely changed since the infamous drag racing crash. Is
(14:57):
this something or nothing? Something or nothing? So it is
two words, spare me, that's what this is. Right? Uh?
And I always go when when guys announced that I
have changed, I always have my default boilerplate response to
that is, Okay, don't tell me you've changed. Show me
(15:18):
you've changed, right. I don't want to hear about it.
Raschie Rice had the golden ticket. You get a golden tech.
You gotta I gotta golden tick cat, I'm gonna golden
You talk about a sweetheart deal playing for Andy Reid's
offense with PATUW. Maholmes at quarterback, and you nearly threw
(15:38):
it all away because you wanted to be in the
next Fast and the Furious movie, Like what are you doing?
You're not vin Diesel, Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Stop. It's not a movie. And so now he's found
some clarity. Now he's found of course he has. Of
course he has, because he's he's staring down. He's gonna
get suspended at some point. They haven't made the announcement,
but there will be a punishment adjudicated in the coming
days or coming weeks here for Rashie Rice. And so
that's gonna happen. But it's amazing how the fear of
(16:13):
losing millions and millions of dollars suddenly leads to personal growth.
And it's like that old Johnny Cash song, go a
walk the line, right, goa walk the line and all
that stuff. But this would this would be something. I mean,
it's like what I call a hippo on a trampoline moment,
hip bol on a trampoline moment, which is bizarre, a
(16:36):
bizarre bounce, hip hooll on a trampoline, bizarre bounce, but
bizarre bounce of fortune is what it is here. Because
Rice should be buried under the headlines with the court
dates and all that stuff. Instead he's out he's out
there and he's doing his thing yet again in training
camp and mahomes throwing them dimes in camp and whatnot
(16:56):
here And do we buy the redemption arc? No, we don't.
Just you know, knucklehead and all that stuff, the plain
and simple plane and simple old fashioned knucklehead. And he's
got the trifecta of bad decisions. He had the trifecta,
which is the high speed jag race, the crash, the
(17:17):
fleeing of the scene, everything being recorded and documented on video,
multiple cars totaled, people injured, lawsuits up the badonka donk
if you know what I mean. And it wasn't just
one lap. Actions that have gone on Listen, they matter,
It matters, obviously, those things matter more than just words.
(17:38):
And so we'll see if he actually walks the line,
keeps his nose clean. And because saying and I've certainly
seen this over the years from the bully pulpit here
from the catbird seat, We've seen athletes say I've changed.
That's the easiest thing in the world. Say I've changed,
and you end up back in the courtroom for something else.
And yeah, now, if you're the chiefs, if you're the chiefs,
(18:00):
you gotta be sweating a little bit, just a little bit,
because I look at that depth chart and I only
made some moves to improve the offense. The offense was staggnant,
even though they got to the super Bowl and all that.
But if you're the Chiefs, you gotta have a little
bit of inks, a little bit of anks there, and
you got to have that whole weight and see mindset
at this particular point, because we are at a crossroads situation.
(18:23):
Rice either becomes a reliable, dependable piece of the Chiefs
offense this season when he comes back from suspension, assuming
he's not suspended majority of the year, which nobody thinks
he will be. Otherwise it's a cautionary tale. It's a
cautionary because he was hurt last year, only played a
handful of games last year. He's got the talent and
all that stuff. We'll see if he's got the brains
and keep his nose clean. We'll find out. But I'm
(18:45):
not buying it because he's Oh, I'm a change man. Okay,
so my all right, I got pocket changed, what I got?
I'm a change man. It is the Ben Maler Show.

Differently, what did he tell you to put down? What
Tony in the Bay Area tell you to put down?
I have no idea that's what he told me to
put down. Are you saying, what did you tell me

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Okay, Chicago bears Seance.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Let's try this out, Okay, Okay, well you know I'm like,
I'm like a ship that tousting.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
All right, all right, all right. He didn't even get
the first lyric out without like did He's not? He can't.
What are you doing? He says? Ship? No, I didn't
hear that. I thought he was talking about a ship
in the ocean. Ben No, just talking about a log
(22:37):
in the toilet is what he was talking about. Let's
go to Let's go to till Yo, Let's go down
to Tilly all in Florida. What's going on till y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Welcome, Hello, good morning, and go to you.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The Gobba Gool. You gotta have the Gobba goop exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I want to say hi to my Python coop and you,
my honorary poison mister Ben Mallar. Very important before I
get to what I'm talking about. I don't know if
the calzone from Costco made it Tier Area yet. Don't don't, don't,
don't go for it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's not authentic.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I'm looking for some Mutla and Regatta cheese. It was
like a meatball sub. That's horrible.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I have not been to Costco to see. I know
it is making the rounds. I've seen pictures of it.
I I've not been there recently. Said on that just.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Taken from a guy who grew up in Turch.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You're authentic, though, man. For a lot of people that
aren't authentic Italian, they're not going to know the difference.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So I tell you you're probably now you're probably right. Yeah,
you're probably right. But my main reason for calling is,
can I like say, not the worst, but the lousiest
caller that you have, guys have is that Mama Luke
from Boston Blind Scott.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Blind Scott, So do you think the blind Scott told
me that he was quitting the show for a two
month sabbatical, that he was so devastated by the recent
news that he's taking two months off. And he's leaving
the show for two months.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
We're not that lucky. We're not that lucky. You agree
with me that Curly was the best.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Of the three stars, absolutely no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, I equate blind Scott as Shemp of the callers.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
He's wow, that's a lot. Is a low blow. That
is a blow.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Hey, I could have said Curly Joe, it's even lower.
But I go with shimp and licken. What my Yankees need,
and I know you're gonna bust my jobs. My Yankees
need some really good.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
A cork in their bad is what they need, or
something like that or something. I'm scuffing the some.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Brains in their heads. They're running the bases like a
bunch of little You.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Know, they're fundamentally terrible team. So I guess analytics must
not teach fundamentals because they don't know. They don't very
good defensively, they don't you say, they don't run the
bases very well so, but yet if you look at
the nerd numbers. They've got all the players they want.
They got all the super pen, the super bullpen they
picked up and all that, and they get setting out.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
The monalytics is not working. They need they need a
real manager, not a puppet, and unfortunately they don't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Good luck, Aaron Boone's going to have that. He set
every Yankee record for wins as a manager. Aaron Boone like,
he's not going anywhere. I don't I don't believe. All right,
I gotta go, Thank you, all right, buddy. Now, blind
Scott told me he's quitting the show for two months.
He will not be calling the show. He will not
be on hold, he will not be there. He said.
He was so devastated that he's taking a break. Let's
(25:34):
go to Blind Scott now in Boston.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Hello, blind Scott, Oh, I had five cal zones like
in the past week.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Dude, it just doesn't impress me. That Italian thing, you know,
Like he's from New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Too, but he lives in Florida. I love that call though.
I thought it was pretty good because you don't got
a lot of that on the show. And then you
had all those black guys called in the second and
third hour, you know, like that was real good too,
pretty good show tonight. Yeah, it was going to call
for because I had to look up like how to
feel about your show getting canceled and read how to
process it emotionally. He told me was not to.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Like overreact like lash out of people listen.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But businesses make bad decisions all the time. They made
a bad decision. But that's the shows. We're still doing
the show. I don't don't it doesn't change. It doesn't
change my situation.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
But it looks like they got rid of all their
gambling content. It makes it makes no sense, like they
don't want to advertise, like people gambling are losing money.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, I will tell you that the gambling aspect in
general is there's a limited market for it because a
lot of people don't like to advertise on gambling shows
because most people end up losing their money gambling unfortunately.
So it's a bit of a problem.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
But what about marceaw I don't think he knows we
should tell.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Him, Like.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
As Marcel, I don't know, there's some unscreen calls here,
so I don't know if he's on hold or not.
I'm assuming he's on but that guy.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
What that gets to be angry? That guy from New Jersey.

to put you up in. Dude, Oh you you are
That better be next to the north end. But I
got a I got a. I don't know if it's
a great story, but I have one of the all
time stories of Boston hotels. When I was auditioning at
EI for the for a show a gig over there,
(29:16):
they sent me. They put me up at a hotel which
happened to be the hotel the nine to eleven terrorists
stayed at, on the same floor as the nine to
eleven terrorists. And uh, I didn't know that until the
guy I got in there and he said, hey, by
the way, and I hate that. Every time I drive
by that hotel. I cursed that hotel because that was
(29:37):
the one where they stayed. But yeah, crazy Ben, what Benn?
Speaker 8 (29:42):
This is the hotel me and Mike from New Hampshire
want to put you up in. And I want to

is Sean Payton. You think he's being like the smart
guy calling one of his players dumb, but listen closely.
Speaker 9 (34:59):
Two days ago I said to him, I said, it
appears the ships can see each other on the horizon.
And then I asked him how long is the horizon
and his answer bothered me. He said twenty miles.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
It's eight miles. Yeah, Well, it turns out the horizon,
according to the people actually study this stuff, he's wrong.
Sean Payton's wrong that the horizon is approximately three miles
for every thousand feet of elevation, meaning at sea level
it's about three miles, not eight. So there you nobody

Oh maha, o maha, oh maha. It's our number four
on this Monday, the fourth day of August twenty twenty five,
and we go where the stories of the day take us,
for example, the Greater Washington, DC area, where Commander's coach
Dan Quinn recently commented on Tarry mclaurin's reported trade request
(00:21):
by saying, quote, it's an emotional time. Are you buying this? Also,
Bill's running back James Cook skipped practice over the weekend.
He was on one of those exercise bikes on the sidelines,
even though he was healthy. What do you make of
this latest plot twist with the Bill's running back James
Cook and Chiefs wide receiver Rashie Rice says that he
(00:44):
has completely changed since the car crash when he was
racing in Texas. Is this something or nothing in terms
of him changing his ways? We'll go there as well.
Settle in. It's our number four. Have a wonderful, a glorious,
glorious rest of your Monday. But here it is our
(01:06):
number four. The raw emotion of it all. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, hand in glove as
we are confusion and delusion getting together coast to coast,
(01:29):
border to border and beyond on the vast and here
splittingly powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from the tongue,
the old slip of the tongue on the Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Spiccoli working the dreaded day
shift in North Carolina and all the rest. This portion
(01:51):
of the Ben Mahlor Show on Fox made possible by
our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Is it time for
a new job, then it's time for Express Employment Professionals quit.
The endless online job search enlists the pros and Express
never charges job seekers a fee. Go to expresspros dot com.
(02:12):
So our lead this hour is from the greater DC area.
This is not an homage to Rick in Maryland morning time,
but instead instead I thought this was an interesting story
some recent comments made by Dan Quinn, medicine man, the
head coach of the Washington football team formerly known as
the Redskins. So Dan Quinn said he was informed by
(02:34):
wide receiver Terry McLaurin ahead of time that the very public,
very public trade request that was made in recent days
was coming and Quinn said, they hoped to bring him back,
but it is not a distraction for them. Now, this
is one of my favorite parts of professional sports. No
one ever wants to admit anything as a distraction. Coaches
(02:58):
are programmed from a young age. Nothing is a destruction. No, no, no,
no no. And then of course we know that the
reality is often something different. But Quinn said, this is
not eight our structure. And he said, then if you
didn't see this, maybe not. He gave the money quote
dan Quinn saying that quote, it is an emotional time
(03:20):
for mclauren and the team. It's a pretty good jumping
off point. We'll expand on that. We'll parse the words
of the head coach of the Washington football team. So
let us discuss the question Commander's coach Dan Quinn recently
commenting Ontarry mclaurin's reported trade request by saying, it is
(03:40):
an emotional time. Are you buying this? So I've got
copyrighted widget and hippo and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some delicious,
delicious beef with rice. Will beef with the right Asian
beef with the guse that's the way to do it
(04:02):
a lot of pepper peppered up pretty good, all right.
So to kick off here to answer the question, are
you buying what dan Quinn is selling? I am going
to go n plus oh as in no, all right,
I'm not buying it, not for a second. And it's
it does come across in the neighborhood. It might be
(04:25):
a suburb, but the neighborhood of condescending, does it not.
It's one of those boiler plate lines you toss out.
It's a deflection by dan Quinn, the coach in Washington,
basically calling your player publicly emotional. He's too emotionally for clem,
he's acting irrational. That you're essentially saying that these players
(04:48):
acting irrational. You're not using the word irrational, but you're
saying emotion, which you could connect the dots, and that's
a So you're trying to also duck account of ability,
which is another part of this. Am I getting too
deep into the psychobabble. So it's classic dan Quinn. No
matter how many broadcasters lick this guy told, this guy's
(05:10):
told I don't trust him. I don't trust dan Quinn.
And here's why. This is the same guy who was
coaching the Atlanta Falcons, and I'm pretty sure if I
remember correctly, at the time, he said it was an
emotional time after they gagged blew a twenty eight to
three lead in the freaking Super Bowl against the New
England Patriots, and that was an emotional time. So I
(05:32):
guess he's got it copyrighted that phrase, it's an emotional time.
How about bad time? How about bad time? Can we
get bad time for a thousand, Steve? Can I get
bad bad time? Because you screwed up? In this case,
the team is screwing around. McLaurin has every right to
be ticked off, every single right, and playing in Washington
(05:56):
while you're making good money, it's not like he was
making no money. In the eye of the NFL, that
was seen as sodom and gomorra. That was hell. And
he's had what nine to ten I don't know how
many different quarterbacks as McLaurin had since he got drafted,
in a rotation at the quarterback position of misfits, backups
(06:18):
never worse and never will bes and emergency options for
the Washington football team. So McLaurin has been dragging the
franchise through the mud. Like Atlas, he's been doing that
and with the world on his shoulders in that football environment.
Not to be too dramatic here, and now they finally
(06:38):
have their forever quarterback eligedly we'll see if he can
back up his rookie year. But Jayden Daniels, who might
mikes a weezel word, might actually be the real McCoy,
the real deal, authentic at all that. And now they
don't want to pay the one consistent option that they've
had through all the darkness. Now that they see some
(06:59):
light at the end of the tunnel, they want none
of that. And so it's like you get your hands
on a Bentley at quarterback and suddenly, all of a
sudden they decide, Hey, we're gonna cut some coupons here.
We're gonna we're gonna do some coupon clipping, is what
we're gonna do. And it starts with you. And so
I know, in my years in broadcasting, I know what
(07:20):
that's like. I know that conversation. I've I've got that
memorized in my contract negotiations over the years. I know
the we really wish we could tain counter of you. Unfortunately,
uh kend on doing all these tough economic times. I'm
sure they're telling McLaurin the same thing. I know it,
I have it verbatim. I know all the talking points.
We can change notes, exchange notes, me and McLaurin. Uh So,
(07:44):
maybe we'll do a bake sale for the Washington football
team and do a fifty to fifty raffle. That's always good, right,
We'll see if we can raise funds to pay the
top pass catcher for Jade and Daniels. Give me a break. Uh.
In that world, there is so much money, so much
funny money. The optics terrible, and all you idiots told
me they got rid of Dan Snyder. This is not
(08:04):
gonna be the same old Washington football team. Dan Snyder's
gone all that stuff, and they took a victory lap.
They're like, all right, we got no ownership or here,
we're in it to win it and all that stuff. Okay,
So right now as we speak, it feels the same.
It feels the same tone deaf garbage, tone deaf garbage.
That that's the same that they were serving for the
(08:26):
better part of a decade plus, exactly the same. And
you know, same old commanders, a different name, different logo,
all that stuff, and so that's the thanks, that's the thanks.
Terry McLaurin gets right there. It's arrogant, lazy, tone deaf
all that stuff. And if the commanders, if the commanders
really botch this, really screw it up, which is in
(08:48):
the realm of possibility, then they deserve all the dysfunction
that goes their way. And trade McLaurin and you get
some traf pick in return. Good luck on that now. Furthermore,
speaking of AHAFL players, let's go down to Buffalo where
the Buffalo roam, and that's where Bill's running back, James
Cook is not roaming anywhere. No, he's not. He did
(09:11):
not participate in a mandatory mandatory practice for the first
time since seeking money, money money, getting that extension from
the Buffalo football team, Cook worked out on a stationary
bike while the rest of his teammates, the rest of
his coworkers were out there running practice, running drills and
all that stuff. So, following the workout, Cook was asked
(09:33):
whether it was his choice, whether it was his choice
not to practice, or whether he was holding in, or
whether he planned to practice later here today on Monday,
And to every one of those questions, he simply said
one word. It starts with a bee. That's right, business. Business.
(09:55):
The bill said no comment. They didn't say business. They
said no comment when asked about James Cook, who is
in the final year of the rookie contract and he
wants the money trained to make a stop in his
town and he's not participating, did not participate in practice
over the weekend. So what do you make of the
latest plot twist for James Cook? Running back unhappy Buffalo bills.
(10:20):
So I've got now James Cook skipped practice is saying business.
He kept saying business. It's another running back, another running
back who thinks he has leverage in twenty twenty five.
So I'm going to take the opposite position, unlike Terry McLaurin,
who had done it a long time in Washington. And
certainly it's a reasonable short term extension. Big money for
(10:41):
McLaurin makes a lot of sense in this case. For
James Cook is a robot practice. No practice business business
business business, business is bad business if you ask me,
not bad bunny, it's bad business. Right. It's a bridge
to nowhere, is what it is. And this is a
text book example when it comes to know your position
(11:04):
know your place right, textbook example of a player over
playing their hand. In this case, the NFL has spoken
for years and they've told us that running backs are interchangeable.
Oh what about to Philadelphia Eagles they want? Okay, Yeah,
So Cook is not the class of running back that
(11:25):
Sakwan Barkley is. He's not Derrick Henry or even Christian McCaffrey.
When McCaffrey plays once out of every three years and
is healthy, he's a solid back, a system player. That's it.
That's all. Therefore, I would say it's delusional. It's the
equivalent of the guy at the drive through window who's
(11:47):
demanding a signing bonus. Now, listen, we all need people
to work at the drive through window. Do we need
to give them signing bonuses? Like? You know, come on,
It's like in this case, you're on the rookie deal.
You're a mid tier unhack. Does anyone think he's more
than a mid tier running back? James Cook is a
mid tier running back. You are not the center of
the universe in Buffalo. You will never be as long
(12:09):
as Josh Allen is there. And more importantly, the Buffalo
Bills figure they can go plunk or pluck, rather pluck
some running back out of some CFL team, like my
favorite CFL team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. We were in Vancouver,
had a chance to meet a former Winnipeg Blue Bombers
ball boy who was at the event there in Vancouver.
(12:30):
But you know this, and these running backs maybe not
as good as James Cook, but you can get somebody
out of the Canadian footballague will do eighty five percent
of what he can do and you can piece meal
it together. That's the point. And running backs are a
system position now. They're widgets, is what they are. Outside
of five guys. And I'm not talking about the over
priced burger restaurant. I'm talking about five guys. You have
(12:53):
no leverage, no leverage. And James Cook is not on
that five guys big board. He's not. He's not a
nice player, nice ball player, I'll give them that. But
the idea that you can strong arm the bills that
this is going to end up with a happy ending,
good luck. They don't blink. Running backs, they don't blink
(13:13):
for it doesn't happen. You know what they do. I'll
tell you what they do again. I've seen this before.
They move on see a later alligator bye bye, and
guess what the fan base moves on. Also, they've all
been brainwashed as well that running backs don't matter now.
Back in my day, when I was a kid, the
running back was actually more important than the quarterback. But
(13:34):
I'm old, and the fantasy football guys care more than
the front office does about running backs because for fantasy football,
the running back is still head and shoulders above just
about everyone else. And that's the business the business of
the NFL that ash Football league, and the business model
does not does not include, according to the analytics, paying
(13:55):
a running back big money anymore unless you are again elite,
elite believe and James Cook until proven otherwise, is a
complementary piece to the puzzle, right, Not a corner piece.
Not a corner piece, not central to the puzzle. The
jigsaw puzzle is part of it. It's like an engine.
(14:16):
He's part of the engine, not the engine. And that's
the issue here. So it's not gonna end. Well, it's
gonna end the same way that it always does and
not in the player's favor. All right, final thing, last thing.
We go to Kansas City, where the Ben Malard chicken
fingers are piping hot over at the landing in Liberty, Missouri.
(14:36):
And the chiefs have they figured out their Rice situation?
Say what? Rashie Rice comments he made recently. Rashie Rice,
the wide receiver there in Kansas City, says he has
quote completely changed since the infamous drag racing crash. Is
(14:57):
this something or nothing? Something or nothing? So it is
two words, spare me, that's what this is. Right? Uh?
And I always go when when guys announced that I
have changed, I always have my default boilerplate response to
that is, Okay, don't tell me you've changed. Show me
(15:18):
you've changed, right. I don't want to hear about it.
Raschie Rice had the golden ticket. You get a golden tech.
You gotta I gotta golden tick cat, I'm gonna golden
You talk about a sweetheart deal playing for Andy Reid's
offense with PATUW. Maholmes at quarterback, and you nearly threw
(15:38):
it all away because you wanted to be in the
next Fast and the Furious movie, Like what are you doing?
You're not vin Diesel, Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Stop. It's not a movie. And so now he's found
some clarity. Now he's found of course he has. Of
course he has, because he's he's staring down. He's gonna
get suspended at some point. They haven't made the announcement,
but there will be a punishment adjudicated in the coming
days or coming weeks here for Rashie Rice. And so
that's gonna happen. But it's amazing how the fear of
(16:13):
losing millions and millions of dollars suddenly leads to personal growth.
And it's like that old Johnny Cash song, go a
walk the line, right, goa walk the line and all
that stuff. But this would this would be something. I mean,
it's like what I call a hippo on a trampoline moment,
hip bol on a trampoline moment, which is bizarre, a
(16:36):
bizarre bounce, hip hooll on a trampoline, bizarre bounce, but
bizarre bounce of fortune is what it is here. Because
Rice should be buried under the headlines with the court
dates and all that stuff. Instead he's out he's out
there and he's doing his thing yet again in training
camp and mahomes throwing them dimes in camp and whatnot
(16:56):
here And do we buy the redemption arc? No, we don't.
Just you know, knucklehead and all that stuff, the plain
and simple plane and simple old fashioned knucklehead. And he's
got the trifecta of bad decisions. He had the trifecta,
which is the high speed jag race, the crash, the
(17:17):
fleeing of the scene, everything being recorded and documented on video,
multiple cars totaled, people injured, lawsuits up the badonka donk
if you know what I mean. And it wasn't just
one lap. Actions that have gone on Listen, they matter,
It matters, obviously, those things matter more than just words.
(17:38):
And so we'll see if he actually walks the line,
keeps his nose clean. And because saying and I've certainly
seen this over the years from the bully pulpit here
from the catbird seat, We've seen athletes say I've changed.
That's the easiest thing in the world. Say I've changed,
and you end up back in the courtroom for something else.
And yeah, now, if you're the chiefs, if you're the chiefs,
(18:00):
you gotta be sweating a little bit, just a little bit,
because I look at that depth chart and I only
made some moves to improve the offense. The offense was staggnant,
even though they got to the super Bowl and all that.
But if you're the Chiefs, you gotta have a little
bit of inks, a little bit of anks there, and
you got to have that whole weight and see mindset
at this particular point, because we are at a crossroads situation.
(18:23):
Rice either becomes a reliable, dependable piece of the Chiefs
offense this season when he comes back from suspension, assuming
he's not suspended majority of the year, which nobody thinks
he will be. Otherwise it's a cautionary tale. It's a
cautionary because he was hurt last year, only played a
handful of games last year. He's got the talent and
all that stuff. We'll see if he's got the brains
and keep his nose clean. We'll find out. But I'm
(18:45):
not buying it because he's Oh, I'm a change man. Okay,
so my all right, I got pocket changed, what I got?
I'm a change man. It is the Ben Maler Show.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Let's try this out, Okay, Okay, well you know I'm like,
I'm like a ship that tousting.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
All right, all right, all right. He didn't even get
the first lyric out without like did He's not? He can't.
What are you doing? He says? Ship? No, I didn't
hear that. I thought he was talking about a ship
in the ocean. Ben No, just talking about a log
(22:37):
in the toilet is what he was talking about. Let's
go to Let's go to till Yo, Let's go down
to Tilly all in Florida. What's going on till y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Welcome, Hello, good morning, and go to you.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The Gobba Gool. You gotta have the Gobba goop exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I want to say hi to my Python coop and you,
my honorary poison mister Ben Mallar. Very important before I
get to what I'm talking about. I don't know if
the calzone from Costco made it Tier Area yet. Don't don't, don't,
don't go for it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's not authentic.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I'm looking for some Mutla and Regatta cheese. It was
like a meatball sub. That's horrible.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I have not been to Costco to see. I know
it is making the rounds. I've seen pictures of it.
I I've not been there recently. Said on that just.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Taken from a guy who grew up in Turch.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You're authentic, though, man. For a lot of people that
aren't authentic Italian, they're not going to know the difference.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So I tell you you're probably now you're probably right. Yeah,
you're probably right. But my main reason for calling is,
can I like say, not the worst, but the lousiest
caller that you have, guys have is that Mama Luke
from Boston Blind Scott.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Blind Scott, So do you think the blind Scott told
me that he was quitting the show for a two
month sabbatical, that he was so devastated by the recent
news that he's taking two months off. And he's leaving
the show for two months.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
We're not that lucky. We're not that lucky. You agree
with me that Curly was the best.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Of the three stars, absolutely no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, I equate blind Scott as Shemp of the callers.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
He's wow, that's a lot. Is a low blow. That
is a blow.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Hey, I could have said Curly Joe, it's even lower.
But I go with shimp and licken. What my Yankees need,
and I know you're gonna bust my jobs. My Yankees
need some really good.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
A cork in their bad is what they need, or
something like that or something. I'm scuffing the some.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Brains in their heads. They're running the bases like a
bunch of little You.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Know, they're fundamentally terrible team. So I guess analytics must
not teach fundamentals because they don't know. They don't very
good defensively, they don't you say, they don't run the
bases very well so, but yet if you look at
the nerd numbers. They've got all the players they want.
They got all the super pen, the super bullpen they
picked up and all that, and they get setting out.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
The monalytics is not working. They need they need a
real manager, not a puppet, and unfortunately they don't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Good luck, Aaron Boone's going to have that. He set
every Yankee record for wins as a manager. Aaron Boone like,
he's not going anywhere. I don't I don't believe. All right,
I gotta go, Thank you, all right, buddy. Now, blind
Scott told me he's quitting the show for two months.
He will not be calling the show. He will not
be on hold, he will not be there. He said.
He was so devastated that he's taking a break. Let's
(25:34):
go to Blind Scott now in Boston.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Hello, blind Scott, Oh, I had five cal zones like
in the past week.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Dude, it just doesn't impress me. That Italian thing, you know,
Like he's from New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Too, but he lives in Florida. I love that call though.
I thought it was pretty good because you don't got
a lot of that on the show. And then you
had all those black guys called in the second and
third hour, you know, like that was real good too,
pretty good show tonight. Yeah, it was going to call
for because I had to look up like how to
feel about your show getting canceled and read how to
process it emotionally. He told me was not to.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Like overreact like lash out of people listen.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But businesses make bad decisions all the time. They made
a bad decision. But that's the shows. We're still doing
the show. I don't don't it doesn't change. It doesn't
change my situation.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
But it looks like they got rid of all their
gambling content. It makes it makes no sense, like they
don't want to advertise, like people gambling are losing money.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, I will tell you that the gambling aspect in
general is there's a limited market for it because a
lot of people don't like to advertise on gambling shows
because most people end up losing their money gambling unfortunately.
So it's a bit of a problem.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
But what about marceaw I don't think he knows we
should tell.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Him, Like.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
As Marcel, I don't know, there's some unscreen calls here,
so I don't know if he's on hold or not.
I'm assuming he's on but that guy.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
What that gets to be angry? That guy from New Jersey.
I'm a really good tolder. I'm one of the best
cars you have, consistently calling up with good information.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Hand, I'm out on the streets all night and I
fell and hit my temple pretty high this weekend too,
I've had a rough weekend, you know. I'm I'm not
feeling like myself ever since this show.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Get hold you wants let's talk to you want to
talk to Marcel. Let's go to myn you want to
say a little Marcel? All right, hold one, let's go.
Let me put you here and then I'll bring up
Let's go to Mars. No, No, that's not Marcel. Put

they sent me. They put me up at a hotel which
happened to be the hotel the nine to eleven terrorists
stayed at, on the same floor as the nine to
eleven terrorists. And uh, I didn't know that until the
guy I got in there and he said, hey, by
the way, and I hate that. Every time I drive
by that hotel. I cursed that hotel because that was
(29:37):
the one where they stayed. But yeah, crazy Ben, what Benn?

end Zack Allen and listen close to here. Because this
is Sean Payton. You think he's being like the smart
guy calling one of his players dumb, but listen closely.
Speaker 9 (34:59):
Two days ago I said to him, I said, it
appears the ships can see each other on the horizon.
And then I asked him how long is the horizon
and his answer bothered me. He said twenty miles.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
It's eight miles. Yeah, Well, it turns out the horizon,
according to the people actually study this stuff, he's wrong.
Sean Payton's wrong that the horizon is approximately three miles
for every thousand feet of elevation, meaning at sea level
it's about three miles, not eight. So there you nobody
