It's our number far. Happy Thursday.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
It is the seventeenth day of April, on this Thursday,
and here in our number four, we discuss the latest
stylings of America's favorite unemployed quarterback. What does the latest
Aaron Rodgers information sound like to you?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Will give you the latest on that.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Also, what intrigues you the most about running back Ashton
Genty comparing himself to the Eagles star Sequon Barkley and
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams says he doesn't want to be
friends with NFL quarterbacks to keep a competitive advantage. Do
you love it or do you hate it? We'll talk

(00:43):
about all of that and more. We're going to go
into overdrive. We're going into overdrive. We'll do that right
now here. It is our number four. Have a wonderful Thursday,
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
The toe tapping waiting game. What welcome come? In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
We are in the air everywhere, fireside chatting as we
are the only sound you'll ever need, coast to coast, border,
the order and beyond. On the vast and euphorically powerful
microphones of fs are on a Newbie Night.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
We're emanating live now new Me Morning Morning.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Emanating live from the Shop, the Verbal Butcher shop of
your favorite sporting heroes. We're broadcasting live from the ti
raq dot com studios. Tyraqt dot com will help you

hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. And I

(01:58):
know Trevor in the Valley the Sun, big fan of
that tire act dot com the Way tire Buying showy.
So our lead this hour is not not from the
plan No, no, no, We're not doing that. Instead, it
is from the NFL.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
And we're gonna go to the land of the Inser.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
We are roughly one week away, one week away from
the twenty twenty five NFL Draft. And Aaron Rogers, Aaron
Rodgers has still not decided on his plane now. While
he reportedly has a contract in place and he is
expected to join the Steelers, he hasn't done it yet,

(02:43):
and so that has led to rampant speculation. What's going on.
Oh my god, this guy is falling. He's melting like
an ice cube in the sun. And he hasn't decided
what he's gonna do. And all this stuff, and while
he reportedly has has that offer waiting the latest developments
on this, we're hearing that Rogers has not given despite

(03:08):
the scrutiny, has not given Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
And Pittsburgh an update on what he plans to do
this season. Radio sounds. Now, there was a report which
I chuckled at.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I'll tell you why in a second, but the report
said that Rogers is quote not going to play just
for the sake of playing. Okay, let us discuss what
does the latest Aaron Rodgers infos sound like to you.
I've got Broadway flats, Pep Boys, and Dean Martin, and

(03:40):
we will combine all of these things together and we
will throw Daggers as we run out the clock here.
So to lead off, to lead off here, this is
more fluffy mcfluff.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I actually actually puked.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
A little bit in my mouth when I read that story.
Rogers is not going to play just for the Sacred Plane.
So you mean Rogers, if he plays, he wants to
try to win, Okay, then why did he play.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
For the Jets.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's like, that's like, I gotta I gotta put something out.
I'm an NFL reporter. I have to throw a story out.
I know what I'll do. Rodgers is not just gonna
play for the sacred plane. You know, it would have
been a story if Rogers said, I don't really care
about whether or not I win or anything like that.
I'm just gonna play because I want to play. Now,
that would have been a story of you if you

(04:30):
say I have that on good authority while I'm drinking ayahuasca.
That Rogers, you know, he's not. It's not that he's
not going to play just for the sacred plane. He
wants to play just for the sake of plane. Now
that's something. As a distant relative of Nostra Damas and
friend of Nostradinas.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
He lives in Seattle.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers is still going to Pittsburgh. He's
already been to Pittsburgh. We know that he visited the
team facility and he held a private workout with DK
Metcalf in La La Land. There were no hiccups. There's
no loose wire there. They said, well, what's the hold

(05:10):
of them? He hasn't done it yet. You're wrong, O.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Come on, okay, keep your pants on number one, number two.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
We are trapped in a time work Aaron Rodgers, Well,
there certainly is a lack of commitment. I will agree
with you, there's a lack of commitment. It is more
about him being a nonconformist than any It is April
seventeenth today, there is no need to rush into things.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Who's had a lot of time.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Well, the regular season does not start until September. And Rogers,
whether he's in Malibu or Egypt or Pyongyang, he's just
spinning in the wind.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Right.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Rogers has his Broadway flats on. He's dancing to a
different rhythm. He just dances to a different rhythm. And
for those that say, well Rodgers is holding the Steelers
franchise hosters, no he's not. Let's not be so dramatic here,
and let me point out if this was such a
problem for the Steelers, if this was such an issue

(06:16):
and they felt like they were under some kind of
spell by Aaron Rodgers, wouldn't the Pittsburgh Steelers just say
publicly we've moved on, we're not interested in Rogers.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Have they done that? Maybe I missed that. Did that happen?
I didn't see it? Did it happen? It didn't happen.
And so the courtship.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's like, damn it did, taking a little break, a
little space there, but they haven't stopped. And the Steelers
already have their contingency plan. They didn't want Russell Wilson
because he blows. They said, we don't want mister Fields
because he stinks. So they re signed a guy that
is somewhere in between stink and blow, Mason Rudolph, and

(06:53):
they signed him. And that means that he's the contingency
plan and not exactly a bundle of joy. But the
Steelers can win nine games with Mason Rudolph and then
get smoked the first time they play Kansas City or
Baltimore Buffalo in the playoffs. Now, as for Rogers, he
has no other realistic option is the Saints, and the

(07:18):
Saints aren't really trying to win, and even if they
were trying to win, that's not a good match. There
doesn't make a lot of sense. And so we wait,
we wait, and we wait and we wait, and I
cannot wait for more reports like the one that's.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Rogers is not going to play just for the sake
of playing. Yeah, okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Furthermore to the NFL Draft itself, we are seven days
away seven days.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Away from the draft. Hellllelujah, helllelujah.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
So Boise State has a pretty good player in the draft,
running back and a Heisman finalist, Ashton Genty, and he
wrote an open letter, an open letter to NFL general managers.
He did this on something called the Player's Tribune, which
I thought went out of business years ago, but apparently
is not out of business. The money quote from this

(08:13):
essay from Ashton Genty. Genty led the letter with a
bold decree. He made a proclamation. He noted that he
can have the same impact for a team as running
back Sequon bark just did for the Super Bowl champion Eagles.

(08:35):
And so the question what intrigues you the most about
Boise State running back Ashton Genty comparing himself to Eagles
star Sequon Barkley. All right, so my first thought on this,
the whole letter thing, the open letter thing, is a
giant sign on the back of a plane at the

(08:58):
beach in the summertime, and the sign says, my name
is Ashton Genty and I am a Mama Luke. Is
what the sign says on the back of the plane
at the beach in the summer The prop plane that
flies around in circles. You're doing this not for the
general managers. You're not doing this for the fans. You're
doing this for Madison Avenue.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Is what you're doing it for. Right that open letter thing?

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Last I checked, And maybe I'm wrong on this, but
as I understand it, if you're Ashton Genty you want
to project it to be a top ten pick in
the draft, that would mean that you have an agent.
That would also mean that your agent has access to
the teams. That also means you'll be visiting with a
handful of teams, which means you'll have one on one conversations, which,
if you connect the dots, means you can say that

(09:44):
directly to the teams.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
You don't need to write an open letter.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Additionally, if the goal was to be drafted higher via
the open letter, if that was the goal to reach
the general managers, if that was the goal, Ashton Genty
needs to.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Go over to pet Boys.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Go over to pet Boys and have your spark plugs
checked because you have a major backfire situation. And again
this is all on the record. It's all on the record.
I don't think I'm wrong on this. You can correct
me if.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I am was or was not Sekwan Barkley drafted.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Number two overall by the Giant, the Giants of Manure.
And is it also true or not true that Barkley
spent not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
but six seasons with the Giants and had one one

(10:39):
team that had a winning record, one team that made
the playoffs in those six years. And is it also
true that when he became a free agent he left,
he left the Giants to go to the Eagles and
then won a title there after.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Those years with the Giants.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
To rephrase that, that be Ashton Genty telling the NFL
if you are a bad team, do not draft me.
If you are deplorable as a football team. I'm not
the catcher of the day.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I'm just like Sequon Barkley. I will not make a
bad team good. I am not that great. But if
I'm on a good team, then we can talk. Okay,
all right, last thing, We turned the page to Chicago
We Go and dubb Bears. Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
He recently did an interview with Esquire and that's still

(11:36):
a run. Oh, that's a shock or two. So the
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams does this interview recently, and he
said that, well, he respects his fellow players, but you
know what that means, he is not interested in getting
to know them away from the field.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Quote.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
I think the NFL game has become very friendly, Williams said,
And I out.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Necessarily want to be friends.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
The Bears quarterback opined, because I want to keep the
competitive advantage.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Okay cloth quote So question, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams does
not want.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
To be friends with the other NFL quarterbacks to keep
a competitive advantage.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Do you love it or do you hate it?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
So the arrow on this one is pointing towards the
Dean Martin classic. That's Samare I love it? Come on
at face value, it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
It makes sense.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
You think I'm going around here in my world and
I'm buddy buddy with my competitors.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
No, I want to crush them like a bug. Crush
them like a bug.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Keep your rivals at arms length, especially a guy like
Caleb Williams, who was absolutely embarrassed by c J.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Stroud.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Remember that that to sound from the Texans Bears game
and CJ.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Stroud the commentary about him.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Telling Caleb Williams giving him some advice, and it was
it was very awkward. I look at Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson,
he's out there game and doing his thing. He's behind
the wheel doing whatever he's doing, multi time MVP in Baltimore,
and he's not about playing grab ass. Lamar Jackson's not
buddy buddy with the other star quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
In the NFL. That's not how he rolls.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Plus, we hear that Caleb, He's got a lot of
friends down at the nail salon when he's getting his
nails done, so he doesn't need to.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Be buddies with Josh Allen or Maholmes. He's got that.
The people that work on his nails are really nice people.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Those are his friends. He'd rather make buddies with them.
And you know what he should make buddies with is
sack avoidance. If he can become friends with sack avoidance,
he has a chance to actually make it in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
That would work, wonders. Yes, look up sack avoidance. I know.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Oh, it's all all the offensive line's fault. Oh yeah,
all the offensive line. Blame them, blame them.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Okay, it is the Ben Malors Show.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
We did have those playing games last night, not much
of a night for competition.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
There were two games.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
The Miami Heat led from pillar to post, never trailed,
and they ran the Bulls off the court.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Bulls will now go.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Home and the Miami Heat will head to Atlanta. Hopefully
they do not go directly to Magic City, Rob Parker's
favorite location there in Tampa or in the Atlanta rather,
and they'll be playing the Hawks. Winner gets a date
with Cleveland and the other game a mild surprise. I

(14:43):
thought Sacramento would exterminate the Mavericks. That did not happen,
as for one quarter, the Splash brother that had been
washed up returned as Klay Thompson put on a vintage
second quarter.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
He was delivering daggers in the Dallas mav Recks.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
They are a wreck, but they won that game, beat
up Sacramento pretty good. And so now they will take
on Memphis and that will be the team that takes
on Oklahoma City.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
The winner of that game.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
In the next addition, which is the actual real playoffs,
which begin on Saturday, the bunch of games Saturday, a
bunch of games Sunday, and then there's like.

Speaker 2 (15:21):

I promise you when I do meet with management, which
normally I try to avoid it, all calls says, you
know you don't want to meet with your bosses, but
when I do meet with them from time to time,

never will.

My friend Bob, big radio guy in Kansas City, he
told me about it. My brother lives up in Wisconsin.
So when I go there, I usually will make the
drive up from Chicago, and I had never been to
the Cheese Castle and it's like, well, you got to
go there.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
It was great.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Yeah, we're actually we're actually going to the city this Saturday.
So there you've been at You got it going up.
I've been listening for a long time and it's my
first time calling in. Always look forward to here the
games and stuff and Coop Scoops entertainment. And I love
the little grudge between Lorena and that little Irish dude,

(24:53):
the Len guy.

Speaker 6 (24:54):
Yes he's not little, he's not even really.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
A le Okay, you don't have to Lorena the alone.
The man is just a fan of the show and
all that stuff. Well, that's that's awesome, Taylor. Thank you
for listening. I appreciate it seriously, and I don't thank
you guys enough, but it does. Otherwise I'd be screwed.
I'd be you know, I don't know what i'd be doing.
But without you guys, I'm really really aft. So thank you,
be safe, thank you driving Everyone's how come.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Everyone's nice on newby Night? Everyone's an a hole when
the regular people call in.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Why is that? Explain that to me, Lorraina. When it's
a regular night, everyone's a schmuck, and then it's a
newbie night and everyone's cool.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
It's because the regulars are too comfortable.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Then that's a good point.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
Well, I was gonna say, because on Newbies newby Night,
these guys who don't necessarily have a sports take to give,
they feel empowered to call just to tell you how
much they love the show.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
What's wrong with that? That's great. I'm not saying there's
anything wrong with that. My head size is getting bigger
as we speak.

Speaker 7 (25:50):
I didn't think it could get much bigger.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
But wow, wow.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
Did they make hats big enough?

Speaker 2 (25:56):

dome special order.

They're planning on using a Major League Baseball like pitchclock
to speed up golf that slow play. And I mentioned
this after I was doing a show about the Masters,

(31:46):
and I was like, this is a big problem. Golf
is slow as it is, but if Baseball, of all things,
can at a clock, why can't the PGA. And a
new policy is being tested to speed things up, and
so they are actually considering going where no one thought
they would ever go. And there's a talk of a

forty second clock, and I say, why not. That's fine
if you can't figure forty seconds is a long time.
