Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb beurfaar. We go to
the Bird's nest dur an Hour four the Ben Maler Show.
Jalen Hurts says that the Eagles are the only team
doing the tush push. Well, does he have a point? Also,
what is Jerry Jones planning? What kind of evil plan
(00:21):
is Jerry Jones coming up with for Zeke Elliott this
weekend as the Patriots pay a visit to Dallas. Also
your thoughts on Joe Judge leaving sweatshirts in every Patriot
players locker? And how do you dissect Chiefs linebacker Willie
Gay's commentary on playing Zach Wilson. We talk about all
(00:43):
of that, and who knows what else is gonna pop up?
We'll puck the world and you never know what else.
Right now here it is our number four. It hurts
so good. Welcum and not be beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the.
Speaker 2 (01:05):

the Dame Lillard trade to Milwaukee, as the Bucks now
are the betting favorite to win the championship in whatever
(02:00):
that's worth. Congratulations on that. But we're gonna go back
to our roots. This show is a football show. Why
because it keeps the lights on in the building. It
pays the power bills. So we go back to the
NFL and our lead this hour coming from Philadelphia, the Birds.
They have a game this weekend against the Washington Football Team,
(02:20):
a NFC East slobber knocker. The Eagles continue to get
called out from random faces and voices around the NFL
for the infamous tush push. A handful of prominent NFL
figures have called for the play to be outlawed, that
it should be for boting. Do not allow the tush
(02:41):
a pushe get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
The franchise quarterback in Philadelphia has chimed in on the issue.
It's asked about this and now if you didn't hear
what he had to say, maybe not Jalen Hurts. Here,
let's go to the audio tape. Jalen Hurst asked about
the blowback from his signature play Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I have no thoughts on it.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
All.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
There's only good on the people that is doing it
as well as we are.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Tried to go on and be hurt for her too,
all right, So he was he was soft spoken there.
He said, I have no thoughts on it, and then
gave a thought said we're the only people doing it
as well as we are, is what he said. Then
he referenced, they want me to get hurt, so let
us discuss the question. Or one guy wants him to
get hurt. Jalen Hurts. You just heard what he said.
They're saying the Eagles are the only team doing the
(03:31):
tush push. Well, does he have a point or no point?
All right? So I'm nodding my head. Yes, he's got
a point. And it's not a butter knife point. It's
a sharp knife point. Yeah, it's a sharp knife. So
it's like a steak knife. This is I've got slam dunk, ron, burgundy,
and tongue tied. And we were combined all of these
(03:55):
things together and we are going to make pudding delicious, pudding. Pudding,
come on quickly. It did, yes, all right, So to
lead off here, we like that. Jalen Hurt said he
had no thoughts and then proceeded to give his thoughts.
Always get a kick out of that. Now, we believe
(04:17):
the NFL was going to ban the play. We talked
about it. We said, well, that's not gonna be allowed
next year at the end of last season. But the
NFL punted, They said no, three and out. They got
cold feet. Upon further review, based on what Jalen Hurt said,
we agree the Eagles have had unparalleled success with the
(04:39):
tush push. It has been unstoppable for them on third
down and fourth down in short situations. The Birds are
the only team that has been able to fully monetize
the toushpush, the brotherly shove, as some call it, their
version of the slam dunk, right, that is their dug.
(05:00):
Now you know the famous story, maybe not, but years
ago in a different era, the NCUBLEA infamously canceled the
dunk for ten years. And the reason they canceled the
slam dunk they said it was not a skillful shot,
and they said that there were too many injuries that
(05:21):
happened because of the slam dunk, which sounds eerily similar
to the arguments that have been made against the push push.
What have we heard? It's not a skillful play, it's
not a football play, which is not by it. It's
a rugby play, right, that's what it's. It's not a
football it's not. And then they also talk about the
physicality and concussions, and you're shoving a human being like
(05:43):
they're a cadaver and they're a dead body. It's weakended
Bernie's and you're pushing them forward. But my position is simple, Right,
if they're not going to get rid of it, and
they've decided not to and you can't stop it, you
might as well run it. Why not figure out how
to put that in your ordnance depot and use it?
(06:04):
And these teams, some have tried it, and they suck
at it. And I don't understand how they suck at it.
You have endless tape of the Philadelphia football team running
this drill, and yet these other teams that have tried
it are in dire straits when they try it, Like,
how is that? What is that? I don't get it
(06:26):
all right now. Furthermore, let's go to Jerry's world. Interesting story.
The Patriots are paying a visit this Sunday in what
will be the Ezekiel Elliott reunion game, first game against
his former team. Is it true? Is it true that
Jerry Jones has something in store to honor the longtime
(06:49):
starting running back to the Cowboys. So Jerry was asked
about this, he said, well, I don't want to blow
a surprise, but that's a good enough answer for you. Close.
Quote that was during his weekly paid radio appearance in Dallas. Now,
what is Jerry Jones planning for Zeke Elliott this weekend?
That's the question. What is Jerry Jones planning for Zeke
(07:12):
Elliott this weekend? We get down to nut cutting time
on Sunday. So here's the way I perceive that quote
by Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones is conniving and he is
going to give Zeke the Ron Burgundy treatment. Okay, He's
going to turn Zeke Elliott into a glass case of emotion,
(07:34):
is what he's going to do. Jerry is going to
play the mental chess with Elliott because he knows how
Zeke Elliott is wired, and a proper tribute will throw
Zeke off his game and give the Cowboys a bit
of an edge. You've got to think that the Patriots
going into this game based on the weakness of the
(07:56):
run defense for Dallas, are going to exploit that can
fall behind by a lot. But if they're in the
game early, you run, run, run, run, run. But this
is like art of war stuff with sun Zoo. If
your opponent is temperamental, emotional, you tug at the heartstrings. Now,
speaking of the Patriots who are playing the Cowboys, Joe Judge,
(08:18):
it was announced that he randomly gave out a bunch
of Patriot sweaters with a catchphrase on the back, and
it was the catchphrase was essentially announcing that there's no
help coming, You're on your own, that kind of thing. So,
what are your thoughts on that? So I saw this
(08:39):
and it it reminded me a little bit of when
the Houston Texans made letterman jackets. It was a little embarrassing.
You remember that years ago with JJ Watt, they marched
into Foxborough and lost by a ton of points, but
ultimately it is high school home coming esque, right, the
(09:02):
swag bag. This is a left handed compliment. It's also
a shot at left handed compliment at Robert Kraft that
judges reminding the players that the franchise does not spend
on reinforcements. They're on their own. You're on your own,
so buckle up, buckaroo. All right. I did like the
pat Patriot though on the front door. Good looking, good
(09:24):
looking logo. All right, party shot. Let's go to Kansas
City where the Chiefs are getting ready for another Taylor
Swift game this weekend on on Sunday night, Sunday Night Football,
NBC will be there. Taylor Swift will be there, the Swifties.
How will she hide from the fans? Who knows? But
Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay was asked about the Jets game
(09:45):
plan watching tape of Zach Wilson, and his answer was
so good, so delicious, that we had to take a
bite out of it. It's priceless. Take a listen. Here's
a linebacker in Kansas City asked about what he saw
watching the tape of Zach Wilson and the Jets offense.
(10:07):
Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Damn, that was a hard question that I can't lie. Uh,
the team I want to run the ball, you know.
Uh of course, man, you know that wasn't going to
be funny or anything.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh no, no, you're wrong.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
I heard and it turned into a team where like
in panic mode almost that's what I see at least.
And they got great running backs, so now they're just
trying to pound it, pound and ground.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, okay, pounding. So listen, Uh, how do you dissect
the Chiefs linebacker there? Willie Gay his commentary on the Jets,
so he was the word is tongue tied? That was outstanding. Damn,
that was a hard question. Yeah, because you're you're normally
programmed to polish up turds, and and Willie Gay is like,
(10:59):
I really can't turd this guy, Zach Wilson's a turd.
I can't polish this turd.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So he was.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Dumbfounded, and he's then he started to unload. He realized
I got to hold back, you know, I gotta water
this down a little bit. And he still tossed out
that the Jets are in panic mode. The offense is archaic.
It's a throwback to the leather helmet days and all that.
But man Alive that was that was great, loved it,
(11:25):
loved it, loved it, loved it, and we'll see what
happens this weekend. It is the Ben Malord Show. If
you would like to be part, the phone lines are open.

fight in the Laker locker room between a couple of
media guys and everyone came running out because the TV
guy and one of the writers got into a little
bit of a dust up in the Laker of locker room.
Penny Marshall was like dying to know what happened, but
I actually knew Dave Lander who played Squiggy with Yeah,
(13:28):

Andrew Squiggman or whatever it's called. But he was a
great I love baseball. He was a big Pittsburgh Pirates fan,
and he actually he worked as a legitimate scout for
the Pirates the Angels, and then he was friends with
Bill Bavasi, who became the general manager of the Mariners,
(13:49):
so he was like scouting for the Mariners for a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
There was also a character from like the Munsters who
was like a basketball scout. Do you remember him?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Like Grandpa never met him, never met Just Penny Marshall

(14:17):
the great wild Eye Southern Boy. He has hung up. Eddie.
We have not heard from the wild Eye Southern Boy.
He was on hold, but he could not hold on.
Let's go to Cleveland and a man who I'm sure
was very happy at the tribute they gave Terry Francona.
Strip Club John, Hello, Strip Club John.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Then not a draw eye in the place. Over twenty
two thousand showed up to the game, which.
Speaker 7 (14:42):

to what happened before the game. Did you see what
happened before the game?
Speaker 7 (15:00):

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well, Terry Francona announced, for the second time this baseball season,
his beloved red scooter was stolen. And yeah, it was
not only that it was it was somebody defecated all
they found it, but it was beaten up and somebody, uh,
(15:23):
somebody defecated on Jesus. What a great goodbye gift. You know,
usually he gives somebody a watch, or you know, the
A's gave a bottle of an one hundred dollars champagne
with Cabrera. What does the city of Cleveland give to
Tony Terry Francona. Some feces, That's what they gave him.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
A beautiful class, all class. We got it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
We had absolutely, absolutely, absolutely I want to talk about Yes,
let's talk let's talk about the two sports. I think
you as a con a sir of the ballet, there
could add a certain dance routine, the touch push, you
could have that as a routine.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
That could be good.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Scrumb would be good in my business, there's no question. Yeah.
But but I think also I was a former center
of the Division one Division one college.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
You know, so what college was that, sir, Kent State.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Their asset last weekend?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Golden Flashes.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah, the Golden Flashes was Glen Mason. Remember Glen Mason.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah, Glen Mason, former coach of didn't didn't Nick Saban
go there?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
You know, actually, you know, to get off topic, that's fine,
Nick Saban, Glen Mason.
Speaker 7 (16:45):

Speaker 6 (16:49):
In eighty seven, in eighty sixth we in eighty seven
we beat Chursas on the road and there was a
big twelve W was a big win for us, even
though it was Kansas and they stuck. But but and
Glen Mason got the job at Kansas. So so they
have national search and Nick Saban was the finals with
(17:12):
Dick Crumb and they gave the Dick Crumb.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Then Kent State could have hired the Saban.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Nick Saban, Yeah, that first head coaching job, but he
went to Toledo in ninety.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All so I'm looking at Kent. Stay here, I've gone

Jameson Kelsey is the reason though the push works. I
mean without him, he's you know, he's a Hall of
Fame center.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I like the fellow centers. That has nothing to do
with the fact that you played center.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
There are other centers that are good. Kelsey's very good,
but there are others. You know, you think somebody else
could pull it off. It's like nobody, Oh you could
make if you had been good, you could have gone
to like the NFL. The long snapper. These guys, that's
all they do. They have ten year careers and they
get Bill Belichick. Just give a long snapper like a
(20:22):
million dollars, the most ever for a long snapper, I think.

Padre game on Wednesday night, Padres got to win against
the Giants, and that ends the streak of futility in
extra inning baseball for the Padres. They ended up going
They were originally zero for twelve before that win last night,
(23:34):
so they end up tying the record by the nineteen
sixty nine Montreal Expos. Fun fact, but they did win.
But the record to start a year twelve losses in
a row, and the Padres had lost their first twelve
in a row. Let's go to the phones. We'll say
hello to Chris, who's hanging out in in the Commonwealth. Hello, Chris, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Hi man, how are you. I'm sorry, I was just reminiscing.
I had two dumb questions for you, but before you know,
I was thinking about when I was in high school,
I played with two former NFL players. One was the
defensive Player of the Year rookie defensive play of the
Year for the Denver Broncos in nineteen ninety four. His
(24:21):
name was Mike Kroll and and I'm sorry, he went
to Lincoln Sudbury in Massachusetts. I was just reminiscent because
I played on that football I was a sophomore, but
just reminiscent about.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That, Like why don't I don't think. I don't think
I can find the stats on your high school.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
To go to.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Mike Krawl was the defensive rookie of the year for
the Denver Broncos, and after that he did nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
That's great, that's pretty cool. But did you ever did
you ever go and play football with a guy that
killed somebody?
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The strip just called up when I was reminiscing.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I'm sorry I made a quick question.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
First, well, I won't ask you about who you're gonna
take in the World Series. I will go we'll bypass that.
But what did you think about who I hate? I
don't like Mac Jones? And then they won't stop talking
about it on your sister station over here ninety eight
point five the nutsack Punch. I mean, what come on?
(25:21):
Is this guy for real? I hate him? I don't
like Mac Jones at all.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, well, here's the problem. Like, if you're gonna be
like that, you got to be really good, and he's not.
He's average. Like that's the problem. You can get away
with that if you're good. It's like people will people
write books about how you know you did stuff. You
push the limit anything to win. But when you're going
on and you're like a middling quarterback. Yeah, it's a
little it's a tough sell. It's a tough but he's
(25:46):
still just multi in that. Not that, but he's done
things like that a bunch of times.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
And the only the last question, I mean, not the
reminisc but in the like seventies and eighties and maybe
even the nineties. I mean, wasn't that everybody blushed everybody
in those when everybody got into a scrum and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was telling a story. You probably
saw the same stuff that I saw. Back in the day.
They did. NFL Films did a documentary about Conrad Dobler
and guys that were dirty in the NFL, and they
were celebrating. They were celebrating the fact that this guy
would I gouch other players, you know, they twist their
(26:27):
private parts, leg whipping them, guiding them. They thought it
was like the coolest of the world. Now it's like
it's gotta be a you know, a war tribunal Act
of Congress to stop it.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
But you make sure you let me know who you
like in the world. We will.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
We want plenty of time. You know, you don't get
ahead of it. You don't get ahead of yourself, because
they got to wait till the playoffs begin Monday, Monday
and Tuesday. Guy turned out the last the parties over. Ah,
thank you, I go, I thank you.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
To work.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Let's get over to Eddie Garcia right now as we
puck the world with Eddie. I have a hockey store,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna use it. I'm gonna see
if you use it.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Eddie, all right, probably not, but we'll see it.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
The sale of the Ottawa Senators is official, the NHL
announcing that the transfer of the club has been made
to a group led by Michael and Lauer and they
are now the taking control of the club. Reached an
agreement to purchase the team back in June for nearly
one billion dollars. The Anaheim Ducks continue to scratch some
(27:37):
heads around the hockey world. And we've got two young stars,
Trevor Ziegers and Jamie Dries down there restricted free agents,
and they've opened up training camp. They played the preseason
game last night and they still haven't signed these two guys.
They've got a billion million dollars under the salary cap
and they're pitching pennies with these two young Stars is
really an odd odd look for the Anaheim Ducks. Calgary
(27:58):
flamous love ripping the Ducks, I do. Calgary Flames signed
center Michael Backland two year extension, naming him team captain
as well. This will be his sixteenth season in the NHL,
all in Calgary. Corey Snyder, who played parts of thirteen
seasons as a goalie in the NHL, mostly with the
Devils and Canucks, announced his retirement. Thirty seven year old
last played in the NHL in twenty twenty one to
(28:18):
twenty two season, ranked second to Marten bro during Devil's
history in games played, saves and shutouts. Columbus Blue Jackets
at Hall of Famer Mark Reki to their coaching staff,
he's going to help out, Pascal Vin said, who takes
over for the fired Mike Babcock RECKI Hall of Famer,
three times Stalley Cup winner in Pittsburgh and also won
Cups in Carolina and Boston as well, and a couple
(28:39):
of sad stories unfortunately to pass along. Calgary Flames assistant
general manager Chris Snow became unresponsive and went into cardiac arres.
Tuesday Scan show he suffered a catastrophic brain injury. His
wife had been chronically his story since he was diagnosed
with als back in twenty nineteen. He's still been on
the job for a long time. I'm doing what he could.
(29:01):
But unfortunately that is going to have the ending that
we all thought it was going to. Unfortunately, and former
NHL player Nick Krdilis died in a motorcycle crash in Nashville,
twenty nine years old. Not much of a player, but
his claim to fame was he was born in Irvine, California,
and he was the first Orange County player to ever
(29:23):
play for the Anaheim Ducks. I was back in twenty seventeen, yeah, boy,
and I saw that this was getting some run on
a lot of different places, like People magazine. I'm like why,
I mean, no disrespect intended, but why would they be.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Reporting on when you say budded whatever you say before that,
you mean.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, no, I mean, why would they be reporting on
this marginal NHL player's death. Well, it turns out he
was apparently connected to a reality TV star. Her name
is Savannah Chrysalie. That like, I know, I mean, I
don't watch reality TV. Chrystally knows best anybody ever heard
(30:05):
of that. They're in jail now, aren't they. I have
no idea, Sam, mom and dad. Wow, it's quite okay,
all right, Well, anyway, I'm kind of a he was
connected to her. They were engaged or I guess to
be married, and so yeah, there you go. What's yours?
What's your hockey story? Then that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Uh, Well, I saw Eddie the first female coach. You see,
this all very exciting.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
It was here.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I thought you'd be all over the sea. The Seattle
Crackett they had assistant coach. They were making a big
deal about it.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I don't preseason game against I think she's I don't
think she's on the NHL staff. I think she's like
a minor in the mind league they had at the game.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
She believed to me the first woman to coach an
NHL game. If you are an assistant coach and you
really coach.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
The game though, you know, well, I mean you coach
like you could coach like the defenseman or the power player,
that kind of thing. I'm surprised that that's the story
you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, I had a different one, but I looked it up.
It wasn't as good at the last last Oh, and
that port The story I had I thought was a
(31:25):
better story, and then it turned out not to be,
so I'll move on. Not that the story I used
was very good either. It was a dumb story, but
I had to come up with something because Eddie put
me on the spot. Ryan from Maine writes, and he
says a plus at the top of the hour Mallord monologue.
He also says that his father and he Ryan collect
(31:48):
and make Maine maple syrup over the winner. Were you
and the crew like a bottle of this season?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Uh? No, thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I'm gonna go yet. I'm gonna go. Yes, Arnie Spanners
Sensus and judge. Arnie does not send me maple syrup.
I do not get maple syrup from I've got if
you like. No, I want it from Ryan because Ryan
is my friend and Arnie is not my friend. Remember
when I was in Boston, I text Arnie is like, oh,
(32:18):
drive over to your place in Vermont, and he responded
with who's this?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
That was?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That was his response? Yeah, that was his response. Wow.
But I gotta tell I think you know, Maine maple
syrup probably better than Vermont Vermont's. Well, those are the
they get the marketing verm my, but I been.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
Arnie definitely sends you the little care package every year.
I feel he's not he sends a Boxer's always a
Ben Mallard bag.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I have not gotten well, somebody must steal with that.
I've never gotten it. I have not.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
Nobody that I still do have like four of those.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I gotta go, I gotta go. All right, stop, all right,
we are going to half straight ahead factor fiction. We'll
get to that, and I need some judges, so I'll
give out the number for that. Eight seven seven judges.
All right, we don't need any judges. Dump that iOS, Sam.

press on. We'll get to that. We'll do it next.

Citizens Bank Park fan denied entry they tried to bring

in a service animal and alligator. And story number three
Hines selling in honor of Taylor Swift one hundred bottles

The brotherly shove story. That's a fact, that is a fact. Yeah,
Hello and welcome. It's our numb beurfaar. We go to
the Bird's nest dur an Hour four the Ben Maler Show.
Jalen Hurts says that the Eagles are the only team
doing the tush push. Well, does he have a point? Also,
what is Jerry Jones planning? What kind of evil plan
(00:21):
is Jerry Jones coming up with for Zeke Elliott this
weekend as the Patriots pay a visit to Dallas. Also
your thoughts on Joe Judge leaving sweatshirts in every Patriot
players locker? And how do you dissect Chiefs linebacker Willie
Gay's commentary on playing Zach Wilson. We talk about all
(00:43):
of that, and who knows what else is gonna pop up?
We'll puck the world and you never know what else.
Right now here it is our number four. It hurts
so good. Welcum and not be beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
A everywhere hot on the cases we go Giggley Gigginy
go coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
On the vast and ponderously powerful microphones of fs are

should be. And so the big story in sports is
the Dame Lillard trade to Milwaukee, as the Bucks now
are the betting favorite to win the championship in whatever
(02:00):
that's worth. Congratulations on that. But we're gonna go back
to our roots. This show is a football show. Why
because it keeps the lights on in the building. It
pays the power bills. So we go back to the
NFL and our lead this hour coming from Philadelphia, the Birds.
They have a game this weekend against the Washington Football Team,
(02:20):
a NFC East slobber knocker. The Eagles continue to get
called out from random faces and voices around the NFL
for the infamous tush push. A handful of prominent NFL
figures have called for the play to be outlawed, that
it should be for boting. Do not allow the tush
(02:41):
a pushe get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
The franchise quarterback in Philadelphia has chimed in on the issue.
It's asked about this and now if you didn't hear
what he had to say, maybe not Jalen Hurts. Here,
let's go to the audio tape. Jalen Hurst asked about
the blowback from his signature play Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I have no thoughts on it.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
All.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
There's only good on the people that is doing it
as well as we are.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Tried to go on and be hurt for her too,
all right, So he was he was soft spoken there.
He said, I have no thoughts on it, and then
gave a thought said we're the only people doing it
as well as we are, is what he said. Then
he referenced, they want me to get hurt, so let
us discuss the question. Or one guy wants him to
get hurt. Jalen Hurts. You just heard what he said.
They're saying the Eagles are the only team doing the
(03:31):
tush push. Well, does he have a point or no point?
All right? So I'm nodding my head. Yes, he's got
a point. And it's not a butter knife point. It's
a sharp knife point. Yeah, it's a sharp knife. So
it's like a steak knife. This is I've got slam dunk, ron, burgundy,
and tongue tied. And we were combined all of these
(03:55):
things together and we are going to make pudding delicious, pudding. Pudding,
come on quickly. It did, yes, all right, So to
lead off here, we like that. Jalen Hurt said he
had no thoughts and then proceeded to give his thoughts.
Always get a kick out of that. Now, we believe
(04:17):
the NFL was going to ban the play. We talked
about it. We said, well, that's not gonna be allowed
next year at the end of last season. But the
NFL punted, They said no, three and out. They got
cold feet. Upon further review, based on what Jalen Hurt said,
we agree the Eagles have had unparalleled success with the
(04:39):
tush push. It has been unstoppable for them on third
down and fourth down in short situations. The Birds are
the only team that has been able to fully monetize
the toushpush, the brotherly shove, as some call it, their
version of the slam dunk, right, that is their dug.
(05:00):
Now you know the famous story, maybe not, but years
ago in a different era, the NCUBLEA infamously canceled the
dunk for ten years. And the reason they canceled the
slam dunk they said it was not a skillful shot,
and they said that there were too many injuries that
(05:21):
happened because of the slam dunk, which sounds eerily similar
to the arguments that have been made against the push push.
What have we heard? It's not a skillful play, it's
not a football play, which is not by it. It's
a rugby play, right, that's what it's. It's not a
football it's not. And then they also talk about the
physicality and concussions, and you're shoving a human being like
(05:43):
they're a cadaver and they're a dead body. It's weakended
Bernie's and you're pushing them forward. But my position is simple, Right,
if they're not going to get rid of it, and
they've decided not to and you can't stop it, you
might as well run it. Why not figure out how
to put that in your ordnance depot and use it?
(06:04):
And these teams, some have tried it, and they suck
at it. And I don't understand how they suck at it.
You have endless tape of the Philadelphia football team running
this drill, and yet these other teams that have tried
it are in dire straits when they try it, Like,
how is that? What is that? I don't get it
(06:26):
all right now. Furthermore, let's go to Jerry's world. Interesting story.
The Patriots are paying a visit this Sunday in what
will be the Ezekiel Elliott reunion game, first game against
his former team. Is it true? Is it true that
Jerry Jones has something in store to honor the longtime
(06:49):
starting running back to the Cowboys. So Jerry was asked
about this, he said, well, I don't want to blow
a surprise, but that's a good enough answer for you. Close.
Quote that was during his weekly paid radio appearance in Dallas. Now,
what is Jerry Jones planning for Zeke Elliott this weekend?
That's the question. What is Jerry Jones planning for Zeke
(07:12):
Elliott this weekend? We get down to nut cutting time
on Sunday. So here's the way I perceive that quote
by Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones is conniving and he is
going to give Zeke the Ron Burgundy treatment. Okay, He's
going to turn Zeke Elliott into a glass case of emotion,
(07:34):
is what he's going to do. Jerry is going to
play the mental chess with Elliott because he knows how
Zeke Elliott is wired, and a proper tribute will throw
Zeke off his game and give the Cowboys a bit
of an edge. You've got to think that the Patriots
going into this game based on the weakness of the
(07:56):
run defense for Dallas, are going to exploit that can
fall behind by a lot. But if they're in the
game early, you run, run, run, run, run. But this
is like art of war stuff with sun Zoo. If
your opponent is temperamental, emotional, you tug at the heartstrings. Now,
speaking of the Patriots who are playing the Cowboys, Joe Judge,
(08:18):
it was announced that he randomly gave out a bunch
of Patriot sweaters with a catchphrase on the back, and
it was the catchphrase was essentially announcing that there's no
help coming, You're on your own, that kind of thing. So,
what are your thoughts on that? So I saw this
(08:39):
and it it reminded me a little bit of when
the Houston Texans made letterman jackets. It was a little embarrassing.
You remember that years ago with JJ Watt, they marched
into Foxborough and lost by a ton of points, but
ultimately it is high school home coming esque, right, the
(09:02):
swag bag. This is a left handed compliment. It's also
a shot at left handed compliment at Robert Kraft that
judges reminding the players that the franchise does not spend
on reinforcements. They're on their own. You're on your own,
so buckle up, buckaroo. All right. I did like the
pat Patriot though on the front door. Good looking, good
(09:24):
looking logo. All right, party shot. Let's go to Kansas
City where the Chiefs are getting ready for another Taylor
Swift game this weekend on on Sunday night, Sunday Night Football,
NBC will be there. Taylor Swift will be there, the Swifties.
How will she hide from the fans? Who knows? But
Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay was asked about the Jets game
(09:45):
plan watching tape of Zach Wilson, and his answer was
so good, so delicious, that we had to take a
bite out of it. It's priceless. Take a listen. Here's
a linebacker in Kansas City asked about what he saw
watching the tape of Zach Wilson and the Jets offense.
(10:07):
Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Damn, that was a hard question that I can't lie. Uh,
the team I want to run the ball, you know.
Uh of course, man, you know that wasn't going to
be funny or anything.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh no, no, you're wrong.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
I heard and it turned into a team where like
in panic mode almost that's what I see at least.
And they got great running backs, so now they're just
trying to pound it, pound and ground.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, okay, pounding. So listen, Uh, how do you dissect
the Chiefs linebacker there? Willie Gay his commentary on the Jets,
so he was the word is tongue tied? That was outstanding. Damn,
that was a hard question. Yeah, because you're you're normally
programmed to polish up turds, and and Willie Gay is like,
(10:59):
I really can't turd this guy, Zach Wilson's a turd.
I can't polish this turd.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So he was.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Dumbfounded, and he's then he started to unload. He realized
I got to hold back, you know, I gotta water
this down a little bit. And he still tossed out
that the Jets are in panic mode. The offense is archaic.
It's a throwback to the leather helmet days and all that.
But man Alive that was that was great, loved it,
(11:25):
loved it, loved it, loved it, and we'll see what
happens this weekend. It is the Ben Malord Show. If
you would like to be part, the phone lines are open.
It's the speak easy version, which means we'd love to

But Clippers fan back in the day.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Did you know Eddie Penny Marshall was And I actually
met Penny Marshall. Uh, there was a there was a
fight in the Laker locker room between a couple of
media guys and everyone came running out because the TV
guy and one of the writers got into a little
bit of a dust up in the Laker of locker room.
Penny Marshall was like dying to know what happened, but
I actually knew Dave Lander who played Squiggy with Yeah,
(13:28):
that's how I met him. That's how I met him,
Andrew Squiggman or whatever it's called. But he was a
great I love baseball. He was a big Pittsburgh Pirates fan,
and he actually he worked as a legitimate scout for
the Pirates the Angels, and then he was friends with
Bill Bavasi, who became the general manager of the Mariners,
(13:49):
so he was like scouting for the Mariners for a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
There was also a character from like the Munsters who
was like a basketball scout. Do you remember him?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Like Grandpa never met him, never met Just Penny Marshall
and Dave Landers. That was it. But Dave was a
great guy. He had a lot of health problems. Passed
away a couple years ago. Anyway, Let's let's go to

Speaker 7 (15:00):
We're having a game?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well, Terry Francona announced, for the second time this baseball season,
his beloved red scooter was stolen. And yeah, it was
not only that it was it was somebody defecated all
they found it, but it was beaten up and somebody, uh,
(15:23):
somebody defecated on Jesus. What a great goodbye gift. You know,
usually he gives somebody a watch, or you know, the
A's gave a bottle of an one hundred dollars champagne
with Cabrera. What does the city of Cleveland give to
Tony Terry Francona. Some feces, That's what they gave him.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
A beautiful class, all class. We got it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
We had absolutely, absolutely, absolutely I want to talk about Yes,
let's talk let's talk about the two sports. I think
you as a con a sir of the ballet, there
could add a certain dance routine, the touch push, you
could have that as a routine.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
That could be good.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Scrumb would be good in my business, there's no question. Yeah.
But but I think also I was a former center
of the Division one Division one college.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
You know, so what college was that, sir, Kent State.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Their asset last weekend?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Golden Flashes.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah, the Golden Flashes was Glen Mason. Remember Glen Mason.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah, Glen Mason, former coach of didn't didn't Nick Saban
go there?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
You know, actually, you know, to get off topic, that's fine,
Nick Saban, Glen Mason.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
I was from eighty five to eighty nine now now.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
In eighty seven, in eighty sixth we in eighty seven
we beat Chursas on the road and there was a
big twelve W was a big win for us, even
though it was Kansas and they stuck. But but and
Glen Mason got the job at Kansas. So so they
have national search and Nick Saban was the finals with
(17:12):
Dick Crumb and they gave the Dick Crumb.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Then Kent State could have hired the Saban.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Nick Saban, Yeah, that first head coaching job, but he
went to Toledo in ninety.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All so I'm looking at Kent. Stay here, I've gone
to the archive. Uh and you know it says here

that was a top twenty five pit team.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Yeah. Iron Hayward, Oh was he?

Speaker 1 (18:48):
All right, I'll uh you say, uh, let's see. Did
he play for the Yeah, okay, here it is.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I was charged with aggravated murder in his hometown of Cleveland.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Okay, when does murder become aggravated? It's not his manslaughter,
wouldn't be his manslaughter, but murder versus aggravated murder.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Cys.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Here, this guy got into an argument in an apartment
and uh he you know, the former football player followed
the guy into a bathroom and then pulled out the
old knife there.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Wow, yeah, nfe it's personal.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
It takes a man to stab somebody. I mean it
takes a you know, it takes a little guts the
guy to stab somebody.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's an emotional anybody. Yeah, all right, Well in that
no strip club, John, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
What now.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Jameson Kelsey is the reason though the push works. I
mean without him, he's you know, he's a Hall of
Fame center.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I like the fellow centers. That has nothing to do
with the fact that you played center.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
There are other centers that are good. Kelsey's very good,
but there are others. You know, you think somebody else
could pull it off. It's like nobody, Oh you could
make if you had been good, you could have gone
to like the NFL. The long snapper. These guys, that's
all they do. They have ten year careers and they
get Bill Belichick. Just give a long snapper like a
(20:22):
million dollars, the most ever for a long snapper, I think.
I think. Yeah, all right, John, listen, you should I
when the Eagles. Next time the Eagles come to town,
or a Philadelphia team comes to Cleveland, you can have
on the on the Marquee. We are the home of
the touch push. Put that right up there.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Both welcome.
Speaker 1 (20:41):

Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact, fun fact. We'd like
to let all your affiliates down line. Fun fact. The
Padre game on Wednesday night, Padres got to win against
the Giants, and that ends the streak of futility in
extra inning baseball for the Padres. They ended up going
They were originally zero for twelve before that win last night,
(23:34):
so they end up tying the record by the nineteen
sixty nine Montreal Expos. Fun fact, but they did win.
But the record to start a year twelve losses in
a row, and the Padres had lost their first twelve
in a row. Let's go to the phones. We'll say
hello to Chris, who's hanging out in in the Commonwealth. Hello, Chris, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Hi man, how are you. I'm sorry, I was just reminiscing.
I had two dumb questions for you, but before you know,
I was thinking about when I was in high school,
I played with two former NFL players. One was the
defensive Player of the Year rookie defensive play of the
Year for the Denver Broncos in nineteen ninety four. His
(24:21):
name was Mike Kroll and and I'm sorry, he went
to Lincoln Sudbury in Massachusetts. I was just reminiscent because
I played on that football I was a sophomore, but
just reminiscent about.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That, Like why don't I don't think. I don't think
I can find the stats on your high school.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
To go to.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Mike Krawl was the defensive rookie of the year for
the Denver Broncos, and after that he did nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
That's great, that's pretty cool. But did you ever did
you ever go and play football with a guy that
killed somebody?
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The strip just called up when I was reminiscing.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I'm sorry I made a quick question.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
First, well, I won't ask you about who you're gonna
take in the World Series. I will go we'll bypass that.
But what did you think about who I hate? I
don't like Mac Jones? And then they won't stop talking
about it on your sister station over here ninety eight
point five the nutsack Punch. I mean, what come on?
(25:21):
Is this guy for real? I hate him? I don't
like Mac Jones at all.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, well, here's the problem. Like, if you're gonna be
like that, you got to be really good, and he's not.
He's average. Like that's the problem. You can get away
with that if you're good. It's like people will people
write books about how you know you did stuff. You
push the limit anything to win. But when you're going
on and you're like a middling quarterback. Yeah, it's a
little it's a tough sell. It's a tough but he's
(25:46):
still just multi in that. Not that, but he's done
things like that a bunch of times.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
And the only the last question, I mean, not the
reminisc but in the like seventies and eighties and maybe
even the nineties. I mean, wasn't that everybody blushed everybody
in those when everybody got into a scrum and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was telling a story. You probably
saw the same stuff that I saw. Back in the day.
They did. NFL Films did a documentary about Conrad Dobler
and guys that were dirty in the NFL, and they
were celebrating. They were celebrating the fact that this guy
would I gouch other players, you know, they twist their
(26:27):
private parts, leg whipping them, guiding them. They thought it
was like the coolest of the world. Now it's like
it's gotta be a you know, a war tribunal Act
of Congress to stop it.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
But you make sure you let me know who you
like in the world. We will.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
We want plenty of time. You know, you don't get
ahead of it. You don't get ahead of yourself, because
they got to wait till the playoffs begin Monday, Monday
and Tuesday. Guy turned out the last the parties over. Ah,
thank you, I go, I thank you.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
To work.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Let's get over to Eddie Garcia right now as we
puck the world with Eddie. I have a hockey store,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna use it. I'm gonna see
if you use it.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Eddie, all right, probably not, but we'll see it.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
The sale of the Ottawa Senators is official, the NHL
announcing that the transfer of the club has been made
to a group led by Michael and Lauer and they
are now the taking control of the club. Reached an
agreement to purchase the team back in June for nearly
one billion dollars. The Anaheim Ducks continue to scratch some
(27:37):
heads around the hockey world. And we've got two young stars,
Trevor Ziegers and Jamie Dries down there restricted free agents,
and they've opened up training camp. They played the preseason
game last night and they still haven't signed these two guys.
They've got a billion million dollars under the salary cap
and they're pitching pennies with these two young Stars is
really an odd odd look for the Anaheim Ducks. Calgary
(27:58):
flamous love ripping the Ducks, I do. Calgary Flames signed
center Michael Backland two year extension, naming him team captain
as well. This will be his sixteenth season in the NHL,
all in Calgary. Corey Snyder, who played parts of thirteen
seasons as a goalie in the NHL, mostly with the
Devils and Canucks, announced his retirement. Thirty seven year old
last played in the NHL in twenty twenty one to
(28:18):
twenty two season, ranked second to Marten bro during Devil's
history in games played, saves and shutouts. Columbus Blue Jackets
at Hall of Famer Mark Reki to their coaching staff,
he's going to help out, Pascal Vin said, who takes
over for the fired Mike Babcock RECKI Hall of Famer,
three times Stalley Cup winner in Pittsburgh and also won
Cups in Carolina and Boston as well, and a couple
(28:39):
of sad stories unfortunately to pass along. Calgary Flames assistant
general manager Chris Snow became unresponsive and went into cardiac arres.
Tuesday Scan show he suffered a catastrophic brain injury. His
wife had been chronically his story since he was diagnosed
with als back in twenty nineteen. He's still been on
the job for a long time. I'm doing what he could.
(29:01):
But unfortunately that is going to have the ending that
we all thought it was going to. Unfortunately, and former
NHL player Nick Krdilis died in a motorcycle crash in Nashville,
twenty nine years old. Not much of a player, but
his claim to fame was he was born in Irvine, California,
and he was the first Orange County player to ever
(29:23):
play for the Anaheim Ducks. I was back in twenty seventeen, yeah, boy,
and I saw that this was getting some run on
a lot of different places, like People magazine. I'm like why,
I mean, no disrespect intended, but why would they be.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Reporting on when you say budded whatever you say before that,
you mean.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, no, I mean, why would they be reporting on
this marginal NHL player's death. Well, it turns out he
was apparently connected to a reality TV star. Her name
is Savannah Chrysalie. That like, I know, I mean, I
don't watch reality TV. Chrystally knows best anybody ever heard
(30:05):
of that. They're in jail now, aren't they. I have
no idea, Sam, mom and dad. Wow, it's quite okay,
all right, Well, anyway, I'm kind of a he was
connected to her. They were engaged or I guess to
be married, and so yeah, there you go. What's yours?
What's your hockey story? Then that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Uh, Well, I saw Eddie the first female coach. You see,
this all very exciting.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
It was here.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I thought you'd be all over the sea. The Seattle
Crackett they had assistant coach. They were making a big
deal about it.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I don't preseason game against I think she's I don't
think she's on the NHL staff. I think she's like
a minor in the mind league they had at the game.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
She believed to me the first woman to coach an
NHL game. If you are an assistant coach and you
really coach.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
The game though, you know, well, I mean you coach
like you could coach like the defenseman or the power player,
that kind of thing. I'm surprised that that's the story
you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, I had a different one, but I looked it up.
It wasn't as good at the last last Oh, and
that port The story I had I thought was a
(31:25):
better story, and then it turned out not to be,
so I'll move on. Not that the story I used
was very good either. It was a dumb story, but
I had to come up with something because Eddie put
me on the spot. Ryan from Maine writes, and he
says a plus at the top of the hour Mallord monologue.
He also says that his father and he Ryan collect
(31:48):
and make Maine maple syrup over the winner. Were you
and the crew like a bottle of this season?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Uh? No, thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I'm gonna go yet. I'm gonna go. Yes, Arnie Spanners
Sensus and judge. Arnie does not send me maple syrup.
I do not get maple syrup from I've got if
you like. No, I want it from Ryan because Ryan
is my friend and Arnie is not my friend. Remember
when I was in Boston, I text Arnie is like, oh,
(32:18):
drive over to your place in Vermont, and he responded
with who's this?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
That was?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That was his response? Yeah, that was his response. Wow.
But I gotta tell I think you know, Maine maple
syrup probably better than Vermont Vermont's. Well, those are the
they get the marketing verm my, but I been.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
Arnie definitely sends you the little care package every year.
I feel he's not he sends a Boxer's always a
Ben Mallard bag.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I have not gotten well, somebody must steal with that.
I've never gotten it. I have not.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
Nobody that I still do have like four of those.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I gotta go, I gotta go. All right, stop, all right,
we are going to half straight ahead factor fiction. We'll
get to that, and I need some judges, so I'll
give out the number for that. Eight seven seven judges.
All right, we don't need any judges. Dump that iOS, Sam.
