As well? All of it's coming your way right now.
It's our number four. Have a wonderful Wednesday. The question

a Brown's owner can do for you. Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We
are in the air everywhere. Head on as we are static,

Show be so our lead this hour is from the
ownership class. I thought this was an interesting story and

(02:34):
since I have the Bully pulpit. Here we go. So
rookie quarterback drama ol rama amid reports that to Shooter
Sanders has not played very well in training camp. Conflicting
reports about that also chatter the Cleveland Browns are going
to trade one of their suckbag quarterbacks. They have a

(02:54):
lot of them. The latest whopper from the land, the
latest whopper. I don't know if you saw this or not.
Maybe not so. At Brown's training camp, the owner, Jimmy Haslam.
Jimmy Haslam, he let the media know. He's stressed to
the media. He said, listen, that pick, that Shaudur Sanders
draft pick was GM Andrew Berry's pick. The owner said,

(03:19):
not his. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. No, no, no.
So what do you read in to That's that's the
jumping off point. So let us discuss. So Brown's owner
Jimmy has them again, stressing to the media that quarterback
should Sanders was not his choice. That was GM. Andrew Berry,
who drafted back to back and belly to belly quarterbacks,

(03:42):
said not the owner's pick. That was the GM. So
what do you read into this? So I've got aristocrat,
Joe Bonnie and Fork and we will combine all of
these things together, and we're going to make the Mallard pizza.
Still waiting on a mom and pop restaurant to put
the Mallard pizza on the menu. The garlic onion bell

(04:03):
pepper masterpiece, We're still waiting on that. Yeah, absolutely all right.
So to kick off here, we start with this. So
Jimmy has them. The owner of the Cleveland Browns, this guy,
if the Browns were better, it would be good. They're
not that good, so one of the worst teams in
the NFL. But but Jimmy has them is already playing

(04:24):
what game, you know, game? That's right, the blame game.
He's playing the blame game. And the kid hasn't even
played an exhibition game, hasn't even taken a snap in
an exhibition game, and already the owner of the Cleveland
Browns is playing the blame game. Love it right, He's preemptive.
This is a preemptive strike. Jimmy has Them's like, well,

(04:47):
you know, don't blame me if this thing goes sideways.
You know, I just own the team. I'm not picking
the players. Uh no, I'm not. So he's already throwing
his GM Andrew Berry under the US and the training
wheels are not even off the quarterback yet and he's
already dabbling in this department. Here this you normally don't

(05:08):
see this this fast for an owner and generally as
an owner, why would you need to do this? This
is a c ya cover your ass situation. And so
it's like, like, what is going on? It's it's as
obvious as it gets. That's that's what he's doing here.
That haslam is he's trying to distance himself from from

(05:33):
the quarner even before the preseason games begin. They begin
tomorrow and the Browns aren't playing that. But if should
Ear goes out there and flames out and rides the
vomit comet, then he's like, I wasn't mate talk to
the GM. I didn't. I didn't pick the player. It's
a GM. That's the guy now, ofcause you know what's
gonna happen a parallel dimension, as I believe in the multiverse.
So in a parallel dimension, should Ur Sanders turns out

(05:56):
to be amazing, turns out to be a guy that
should have been drafted in the first And there's a
lot of people that have egg on their face. And
the Cleveland Browns are gonna be very bragged nocious. They'll
be like, oh my god, we knew all along. This
guy was great. He's got the Dion pedigree and all
that stuff. So if that happens, so this guy turns
out to be study mc stud then Haslam does a
one't eighty and he's like, oh man, I'm gonna I'm

(06:18):
gonna hold a news conference here, and I want to
let everyone know or remind everyone this was an organizational decision.
It's not Andrew Barrett. We're an organization. We do it together.
And I had a role in this because I owned
the team. You know. It's like Robert Kraft started dabbling
that with the Patriots, where he's like, oh, it's the
organization and he started taking credit for stuff. And that

(06:39):
was one of the things that was the downfall that
in Bill Belichick finding the cheerleader. But the Patriots thing
just to compare contrast, because it seemed like Robert Craft
was upset that he wasn't getting enough attention. And some
of my boots on the ground there in Boston, they're like, well,
Kraft thinks he's not going to the Hall of Fame.
He hasn't gotten in yet because Belichick and Brady took

(07:02):
all the attention, and he should have been more vocal,
should have been more full throated getting the attention. But
this is a little different. You juxtaposed that with Jimmy Haslam,
who likely wants no attention because the Browns, well, we all,
if we have our healthy bodies, we all deliver the
Browns every day. And that's the same product the Browns

(07:22):
are putting out on the field. But yeah, I'm telling
you it should it turns out to be good. Instead
of it's Andrew Berry's pick. It's hey, we believed in
him from day one. I just knew all along. You know,
it's the aristocrat version of trust me. Bro is what
it is. He's not fooling anyone that pays attention to
this kind of stuff. And let us not forget, okay,

(07:43):
let us not forget. This is the same guy that
drafted Johnny Man's I know, why did I thought Manziel
would be good. I fell for that, I did, and
I was hoping he'd be good. He sucked Johnny Man.
The Browns drafted him because a homeless due outside of
a bar in Cleveland said, hey, you should draft that

(08:05):
Johnny Manziel guy. By the way, I'm not making that up.
You've forgotten a hobo. And as people are down on
the block, some guy that was outside of bar begging
for money like weed man hippie said he you should
draft that Johnny Manzel. And he did, and he bragged
about it like he let other people know that this
was the thing, wild, wild, absolutely wild. But he did it.

(08:28):
And so now we're supposed to believe that the same
guy that did that is now all buttoned up, you know,
years later. Hands off, I just write the checks. I
don't have anything to do with the day to day.
Give me a bleeping break. Come on. The whole thing
right now is set up as a fall guy, right
Jimmy Haslam is putting Andrew Berry on notice that this

(08:52):
is your guy. If it doesn't work out, he's your guy,
he's your pick, he's your problem. That's what he's doing.
So he's got one foot out the door. Jimmy already
on shouldur, which is fine. Usually you wait until they
play a game. It's normally how that works. But he's
getting ahead of everything here is jumping the gun a

(09:12):
little bit. That's fine, and you gotta think if he
thought Jimmy Haslam that Shudhar Sanders was gonna be good,
that he would be out front and center with a
bullhorn and he'd be banging the table with his other hand,
bullhorn in one hand, saying this is our franchise quarterback,

(09:32):
this is the future. Now. The good news is, even
though he's not doing that, he's like, well, yeah, it's
Andrew's calling, not mine. That likely means that Chadur will
be good. Because everything Jimmy Haslam says is going to happen,
the opposite happens. Whoever he bets on bet on the
other person in a boxing match. So Jimmy Haslam right

(09:53):
now hedging his bets as we speak. Now. Meanwhile, we
go to the Beltway in the Washington, DC area. Did
you see the Commander's wide receiver d Bo Samuel good
old Debo. He told the media this week that he's
fully healthy, fully healthy, and he is ready to contribute
to the Fun Capital f fun Washington offense led by

(10:18):
Cliff Kingsbury, the OC and quarterback Jaden Dangels. So Deebo says,
I still got a lot in the tank. What is
your viewpoint on it? I says it still got a
lot left in the tank. So of course we know
that saying things like this, saying things like this a
little different, unfortunately than actually doing them. The league. As

(10:41):
we notice every July and early August, the league is
absolutely filled with guys who talk a really good game. Man.
They hit all the right notes, all the right notes
in July and August, and everyone looks good and shorts.
Everyone lets shoot in shorts. Now, Deebo, I can't it
over the video of him in some clips in the

(11:03):
offseason where he looked like he was doing some cosplay
with the Pillsbury dough boy, So that's a little tough.
But nonetheless, from thirty thousand feet in the sky the
audio sky, Deebo Samuel's tank has been pretty low. There's
a flashing light on the dashboard, the little gas things

(11:23):
popped up there. Since the end of the twenty twenty
one season. It's now twenty twenty five and we're still
having this conversation. This was the last time, and dare
I say the only time that Deebo Samuel was dominant,
even remotely dominant, was twenty twenty one. Since then, he

(11:44):
has been coasting along on doughnuts and Aura right, I mean,
I guess reputation. So yeah, all you need to have
is one good year and the legend is built on
that one good year. And this is a great example.
Deebo Samuel was the toast of the NFL. Well, he
was an All Pro, not a Pro Bowl, not a
pro like the Pro Bowl. He was that as well,

(12:06):
But the Pro Bowl is tic tac toe. It's volleyball
because the players couldn't try hard in the Pro Bowls,
so they made it all these dopey games. So that
means nothing, but all pro matters. If you're an All Pro,
that's that's a big deal. You're in the one hundredth
percent dile, that's a big deal. So he was the
Swiss Army Knife. Was he a receiver? Was he a

(12:27):
running back? He was a little bit of everything. He
was the cheat code. He used to I'm a Rams fan.
He used to kill the Rams. Right now, Tebo Samuel,
you know what he is. He's a one hit wonder.
You can call him Chumble one bum wide receiver, that's
what he is. Right, Remember that got one hit like
fifteen years ago. That's it. And now what is my evidence?

(12:47):
You look at the numbers, you look at the numbers.
They back it up. He has seen a forty two drop.
How low can you go in production? He went from
eighty eight yards a game that all proas in to
fifty one yards a game in the years that have
happened since then, Well, it's the scheme. It's injuries. He's

(13:11):
always injured. It's at some point that is who you are.
At some point you have to say stop making excuses.
That's the guy you are. And so what did the Niners.
The Niners finally said, no, Moss, They said that's it.
They tossed him out like he was a little container
of Trobanni yogurt and it was expired, and they just
tossed him out of the refrigerator and they said, we'll

(13:33):
get you to Washington, and Washington's like, we don't really
like expired Trebonni yogurt, but we'll take him and we'll
see what we can do. And so now he's trying
to revive his career. Good luck on that. It is
a fresh start, and that seems to be the kind
of offense, especially now with a disgruntled number one wide

(13:54):
receiver and Terry McLaurin who's got his own issues there.
So that seems to be set up where someone if
mclaurin's gonna really be a problem and not ready to go,
whether he's just not practicing because he's doing a hold
in and he sits out a game or two, or
is not ready to be an impact guy, there's opportunity there.
But again, you say all the right things in camp,

(14:16):
and Deebo Sam was like, I saw what he said.
I watched the clip on the YouTube. He said everything
is good and all that and cute little press conference.
The beat writers like you, you get the quote they
need and you talk about what fun we're gonna have. Oh,
it's so fun. The offense is so fun. Yeah, they
should copy the old Nike mantra. I love. One of

(14:39):
my favorite fun facts is that the Nike phrase just
do it, they actually took from someone that was about
to be executed in Utah and they turned that into
the just do it phrase. I just love that fun fact. Anyway,
moving on last thing. We go to Green Bay. Why
why not? Because the Green Bay gobbler said we better

(15:01):
do it, you better do it, and we did it.
We're here. So problems in cheese Land. The multiple reports,
multiple reports in recent weeks saying the Green Bay Packers
quarterback Jordan Love not exactly feeling the love, as he
has thrown a lot of interceptions, a lot of interceptions

(15:21):
to begin training camp. Now, Love was asked about this,
He did not deny the fact that he has been
a debacle at quarterback. Jordan Love claims that he is
using each turnover as a teachable moment, okay, a learning
opportunity in preparation for the upcoming NFL season. So question
on this one, Jordan Love. Jordan Love his theory on

(15:43):
the mistake philed Packer training camp. How does that sound
to you? All right? So on this one, I love
that Love is doing some impersonation of there used to
be this famous talk shows. Now she's just rich and
lives in Santa named Oprah and an Oprah, the most
famous episode of a show. You get a car, You

(16:05):
get a car, Jordan lovin training camp. You get an intercept.
He's making the defense feel good. You get an interception,
you get an interception, you get an you're in the back,
you get an interception. Everyone gets a pick. It's great,
right uh, And of course it's not safe for public consumption.
But I have an odd thing about training camp. And
I'm not a good talk shows That's why I'm on overnights.
But I can't get too worked up about bad practice.

(16:28):
I just some people do, and they're better talk shows,
like morning talk shows, afternoon talk shows. They get really
worked up about training camp practice. I've never been that guy, right,
I've never been that guy. It's like high school drama
club to me. And it just it just is like
I I you, nobody gets a standing ovation for a rehearsal.

(16:49):
You don't judge a Broadway play based on how they're
going through the walkthrough, you know what I'm saying. And
that's why I look at it. I mean, you're not
judging it on a dress rehearsal. And this isn't even practice,
isn't even address rehearsal. Practice is something else. That's it's different,
and you're judged when the curtain finally goes up and

(17:10):
it's Broadway. It's week one, and that's that. And it's
like Alan Ivers said, practice not a game. Not we
in here talking about practice not a game. Now. The
bigger issue, quite right, the bigger issue, So Jordan Love
right now in the cartoon bubble to the right of
my head. Jordan Love is at a fork in the
road and he's guided us I which direction he wants

(17:34):
to go? Right? What does he do now? If he
goes to this side of the road, Jordan Love, that's
the auto bonn Well, there's no auto bond in Wisconsint.
Just go with it, all right. That's the fast lane.
That's the fast pass, room room, and to the promised Land.
The Packers go back to the super Bowl, right, wake

(17:56):
up the echoes of Lombardy and Farv and Rogers, those
guys that are dead, all of them right now on
the other side. If he goes over here, Jordan Love,
he's just another overpaid bridge quarterback. The Packers prematurely paid
a lot of money too. That Yeah, he can hold

(18:16):
the clipboard and that's it, and he'll be a change
of scenery guy somewhere else. And Mitch Trubisky didn't get
the big money. But Trubisky comes to mind Blake Bortles
in Jacksonville, that kind of guy. You'll always have that
game against the Cowboys. And as a friend of mine,
I was texting a buddy of mine about Joey said,
I was gonna talk about Jordan Love too. I was

(18:37):
texting a friend. He said, you do realize, Ben, how
many players in the last thirty years have had great
playoff games against the Cowboys and not done well against
other teams. I was like, you know, that's a great point.
Jordan Love is living off that game. Really, the first quarter,
first half against the Cowboys when Dak Prescott, if I
remember correctly, Maybe I'm wrong because I remember Dak Prescott

(18:58):
gave that game away. But for Packer fans, that's the
Jordan Love game. Hey, hey, yeah, that was his game.
So anyway, well he'll learn from the interception. Again. I
wish I could get more worked up into a ladder
over practice. I can't get a little worked up over
exhibition games, but even not too much. Like I had
a Charger fan email me, are you gonna talk about

(19:19):
Trey Lance because I guess he's starting the Hall of
Fame game tomorrow on Thursday there and can't And I'm like, no,
I might talk about him after the game, but what
am I supposed to do a preview of the freaking
Hall of Fame game? Really? Come on? I know the
