Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our num Bert two, our two
of our radio program, and we go to football to
begin our two. Dak Prescott said to be the worst
interview in sports? Is that valid or invalid? And why
are athletes often so terrible at doing interviews even though

(00:25):
their salaries are paid based on media deals with television
and radio? And how come these major TV shows and
radio programs continue to have athletes on even though they
are bad guests. We'll talk about that, and a mini
Maller monologue on Patrick Beverly, the glue Guy goes from
the Jazz to the Lakers. Our initial thoughts on one

(00:49):
of the great former Clippers now wearing a Laker uniform.
We'll get to that as well right now in our
number two. A big waste of time. I'm well come man,
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere right next door as

(01:12):
we caught it up coast, stuck, coast, border, the border,
and beyond on the mast and intergalactically powerful microphones of
fs are emanating live from the yard the Graveyard shift
here the Fox Sports Radio studios at a secret location

(01:34):
somewhere in the Northwoods. We will have bonus coverage. There
was an NBA trade that happened a couple hours before
our radio show, and we will have a mini Maller
minologue on a backup, not a starter, not a starter,
a backup who has been traded in the NBA. But
we begin this hour our lead coming from the NFL,

(01:57):
and some arrows have been directed at that Dallas Cowboys.
Now I'm not gonna sit here and go on and
on about the injury the Cowboys suffer. We talked about
that earlier. Tyron Smith, the Pro Bowl left tackle out indefinitely,
could be the entire season. He tores hamstring. But this
is about the Cowboys. But not that. A listener actually

(02:18):
alerted me to this. There was a message that was
sent out about Dak Prescott Dak under attack the headline.
So this obviously caught my attention. I was like, okay,
let me let me check this out. And it's like okay.
And so I don't know if you saw it or not.
Maybe not, but Dak Prescott has been now called by

(02:41):
a very prominent person in sports media, the worst interview
in all of sports, who said that our former FSR
morning host Stephen A. Smith went on a rant listener
in Dallas set me the the rant era about the
quality of Dak Prescott's media apearances, and I was asked
whether or not I agree with that. Stephen A went

(03:04):
on and said that it's the worst interview in sports, useless,
wasted time, blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, he went
on and on and on says he gives no insight
blah blah blah blah blah. All right, so let us
discuss the question Dak Prescott as the worst interview in

(03:24):
all of sports? Is that a valid or invalid? Take? All? Right?
So it's invalid because when you say the worst, there
are so many dreadful interviews, and many of them happened
to be quarterbacks, right, many of them happened to before.
I didn't say nothing. I mean, did Dolesville justin Herbert

(03:48):
barring Lamar Jackson home. My goodness, I got a headache
just thinking about Lamar Jackson talking. So my thoughts on
this that Dak Prescott the worst interview in sports? I
say it's invalid. I've got doctorate, romcom and boot liquors,
and we're gonna lock all of these things together, and

(04:11):
we are going to make a migraine headache. That's where
we're gonna make. So number one. And Dak Prescott is
among the worst interviews. He certainly resolves. He revolves around
being dull when he talks to the media, So I
guess you could say he lives in Dollsville, the cowboy quarterback.

(04:34):
My impression of him speaking is it sounds like he's
running for office. And every quarterback has their own cadence,
like Aaron Rodgers is like the hippie guy. You know,
he's the deep thinker guy, which gets annoying. You've got
Russell Wilson who used to just copy and mimic Pete
Carroll the vocal stylings of Pete Carroll. So everyone comes

(04:58):
at it differently. But as far as Dak Prescott, he
again sounds like a politician speaking and saying nothing. And
Dak has a doctorate in corporate speak, and he admits
to it that he has studied other people in sports
and how they have communicated and said nothing that snooze

(05:19):
Peyton Manning. According to Dak, he studied how to be
humdrum from Peyton mann and he's got Prescott's got these
boiler plate answers, and he sticks to the script. He's
as genuine as if you were to go to a
petting zoo and see a pig with wings, you'd say,

(05:41):
I don't think that's right. I might be on the ayahuasca.
I don't think that's right. But it's the same phony
bologny that we get all over the once. So page two,
why are athletes so often terrible at interviews? Well, this,
unfortunately is by des Now I could cop out and say, well,

(06:03):
it's just because they're meathead athletes or not. No, no, no,
they try to be bad. There's effort on being bad. Now,
some of them are just morons, but there's a lot
of these these athletes that are terrible interviews. They do
it on purpose. So if you're looking for the blame game,
you obviously blame the person who's talking. But I'm gonna
blame a rom com, old school rom com, Bull Durham,

(06:29):
classic classic sports movie Bull Durham, Kevin Coster as Crash
Davis advising Nukelelouche how to deal with reporters. And you're
gonna need to learn your cliches, right, you want out
whole rant there, You're gonna study them and they're your
friends and all that stuff, and just trying to help
the ball club, give it my best shot, and the
good Lord women, things will work out. We don't even

(06:50):
get that anymore now. Think about this Bull Durham, a
wonderful baseball flick. It came out in nineteen eighty eight,
so we're looking at well over thirty years, and almost
all of the biggest athletes since then have been on

(07:12):
a snooze cruise, an absolute snooze cruise. And that's a
generation ago, over a generation, and generations twenty five years.
So that movie came out thirty four years ago, so
it's over a generation. Almost all of these athletes, the
biggest athletes, I'm sorry, the Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter. Derek

(07:35):
Jeters who said nothing his entire time in New York
with the Yankees, and then as soon as he retired,
he started a website for athletes to talk. Okay, Tom Brady,
who's also very braggadocious, Brady about never speaking a grain
of truth when he talks. So there's a million of
other examples. We can go on and on, but it's

(07:55):
it's like they work for the CIA machine, Like it's
it's automated, is what it is. My final point, So,
if the athletes are generally terrible bite design when they
do these interviews, how come riddle mean this Batman? How
come TV and radio shows continue to have bad guests,

(08:19):
and a lot of them are paid bad guests. So
there's two reasons for this, Okay, despite the athletes being androids,
the customer. The customer eats this stuff up. I doubt
now why I blame the low information fan. They worship
jock speaking. They lick the ground. These guys walk on

(08:43):
and so no matter what gibberish they spew, the slobbering
boot liquors are there and they give me more, give
me more, give me more, give me more. Just like that,
it's a man corner for the disciples. It's like there's athletes.
I like their terrible interviews. They're boring, they're dull. You

(09:09):
can compartmentalize those two things. You can be great at
one thing and terrible at another thing. The other factors
there's a lot of variables, but I gave the two
are the customer, the view were the listener who loves
this stuff. But then you also have the big boss,

(09:29):
big bosses love big names. Advertisers also love big names,
so quality be damned. And there's only a few people
over the years who have avoided the rat trap, and
I'm not one of the first two. And I don't
do any interviews on this show. Where an overnight show,
I could come in here and record seventeen interviews like

(09:51):
many of the other shows used to do in the overnight,
but I don't want to do it. That's radio. Radio
should be live podcasting. No podcasting is obviously recorded. And
I've had athletes on. I've usually had a former athletes,
but I get I get offers to have athletes on
all the time for they have something to promote, whether
it's a book or a product or a shoe or

(10:11):
whatever it might be. And very rarely do I put
them on, but anyone wants a while, And I would
say about ninety nine percent of the time. I always
regret when I do it, but I do it anyway. Meanwhile,
turning the page on that we have a trade, we
have a trade in the NBA, say why, yeah, we

(10:32):
got a trade. So let me give you the details
on this real quick. And I'm not gonna go along
on it because there's other stuff to get to. But
the Utah Jazz have repackaged Patrick Beverly, My guy, Patrick Beverly.
He's going to the Evil Empire of Basketball, the stain

(10:52):
on the NBA logo the Lakers. Now that trade's not
done as we're talking right now, but it's all done,
and we're told by the time you probably hear this
if you're listening on the podcast anyway, not the live show,
the trade will work this way. The Lakers will send
someone named Taylor Horton Tucker and someone named Stanley Johnson

(11:13):
to the Jazz for Patrick Beverley, who was an iconic
clipper and helped the Minnesota Timberwolves to the greatest play
in championship in NBA play in history. So let me
give me a minimala monologue. That's the question. As we
discussed the question, what is your initial reaction to Patrick
Beverly going from the Jazz, who he never played for,

(11:35):
to the Lakers. So I've got on this one, Cacophney
and Trojan, and we'll put these together and we're gonna
make some glue, because this is the glue guy after all.
So Hey, Pat, Patrick Beverley, I'm happy he escaped the Jazz.
You want to see a guy like Patrick Beverley play

(11:56):
on a team that gets some attention. And the Jazz
are gonna be morbidly bad this year. They're likely going
to trade Donovan Mitchell before the season. They've already gotten
rid of Rudy Gobert. It is a dumpster fire in
the Great Salt Lake. So the glue guy gets new life.
And I'm not taking back what I said that he matters.

(12:17):
I believe that to be true, that this is a
player that has some name brand value, but part of trades,
and a big part of trades. I think we can
all agree on this, every man, woman and child. It's
playing the match game, and when you play the match game,
it's got to be a good fit. This is a
match made in hell. Patrick Beverly on the Lakers. Can

(12:43):
you say square peg round hole? Yeah? I think you can't.
And let me explain why. Listen Beverly. While he matters,
and certainly for my purposes, he's great as a talk shows,
he is an aging role player. He's thirty four years
old and I believe he's in the last year of
his contract. That means that he wants to get another contract.

(13:07):
Why wouldn't he So he's got to put up some numbers.
And if he doesn't put up numbers, the contract value
is gonna go down. Now is it true that Patrick
Beverley is going to be at loggerheads with Russell Westbrook
and Lebron James And on that one, I am nodding
my head. Yes. Can you say upheaval? Can you use

(13:29):
the word turmoil in a sentence? How about bedlam? And hey,
I'll be here with a big bucket of popcorn to
watch the show. But you got too many alpha's. It's
a tinder box and it's raining lighter fluid. That is
a cacophney of noise. Now for context, let me give

(13:50):
you a quote here, all right, you don't give you a
a quote And this is from a random NBA player
who said the following Pat Bev trick you all man
like he played defense. He don't guard nobody man. NBA
players stated, just running around doing nothing. Close quote? All right?

(14:12):
Was that NBA player a Jason Tatum of the Celtics,
b Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors, or see
Russell Westbrook of the Lakers. They name you got it right?
It's Russell Westbrook. Russell, who's this team? They gotta trade Westbrook, right,

(14:33):
they got traded. They gotta trade Westbrook for this to
have any chance of working. The Lakers have to get
rid of Russell Westbrook, so they're gonna have to give
up more first round picks. Now part B of this.
Why am I happy? Why am I happy? For the
Laker Lapdogs? Okay, let me explain why it is going

(14:56):
to be hilarious. It's already been amusing, It's gonna be
even more hilarious to hear the historians he prays on
pet BEV. Now, I have been bombarded, if you listen
to the show on a regular basis, by a couple
of historians who work on this show, Roberto and Cooperloo,
who have taken every gratuitous cheap shot they can at

(15:19):
Patrick Beverly, overrated, can't shoot this, that and the other thing.
And now these are the same people who will be
singing from a different song sheet, Slava Slava Slava for
Patrick Beverley, all because of new laundry. But the smart
money is that Pagrick bever is gonna end up a Trojan,

(15:40):
but not a usc Trojan, a Trojan horse a plant.
It's it's like when Eddie on the game shows. We
have when Eddie plants Justin and Cincinnati or Anthony and Anaheim,
the sabotage the game shows. It's the same concert like
Beverly is a volcano and he's going to have bolton
lava all over the place there in purple and Gold.

(16:03):
He's guaranteed of erupting multiple times. Alright, one final point.
So I also had heard for the last year and
a half that Taylor Horton Tucker really good, really good,
next great young Laker player, watch out, buckle up. TT

(16:25):
might as well call him TNT. But THHT twenty two,
Oh my god, defense, defense, defense. There were comparisons to
the next Kobe Bryant. You've just traded up to the
jazz there you go, Good luck on that. Now he's
going to Salt Lake to hang out there. The Spin Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin,

(16:50):
all right is the band at Maller's show. If you
want to comment on any of that, we had a
mini Maller monologue and a full juicy hot Mallard monologue

will do it next. Be sure to catch live editions

Lady coopter looping room. We are together. It's not your

(17:57):
ever richly show. Here different than the average big and

night loving masses. It takes hardly any time to follow
your host on Twitter. He's at Ben Mallard and you

manning the phones. But He's more than just the call screener.
He's the liar, liar and the menace of the Fox
Sports Radio network. It's the Coop de Loop Justin Cooper,

(18:41):
and he's at you, h Bronco fan, keep Any's name
out your mouth and alive. From Fox Sports Radio Studios,
It's Ben Mallory. I would like to update everyone. I

I have been given the menu by a sore see
here Eddie for the Mallard Meat and greet on Friday night,

(19:04):
so tomorrow night here. I do approve of the menu.
It's good. I do approve. I see a lot of burgers.
I see the pretzel bites. I'm all about the pretzel bites.
And I'm not kidding. Yeah I did. And Tater tots.
You can't go wrong with Taylor agree, So Taytor Tots
pretzel bite. I mean Marcel would love to take the tots. Oh,

(19:26):
he'd be all about him. I wish I had his number.
I have uncle Dynamite number. I had Marcel's number, I'd
call him up from the Good Nights from the event
on Friday so he could be part of the event.
But oh wow, that would be actually pretty cool. That
would be pretty neat, but he might be gave his number. Well,
he gave me his number and I called him and
it was Uncle Dynamite. He did he didn't realize he
had given me Uncle Dynamite number. It's just Tay the Tots.

(19:50):
He was really good yesterday. Yeah, I had a couple
of funny things. Did uh did was Uncle Dynamite? It
was he a nice guy? Well, yeah, he was actually
very nice. I consider I woke him up from a
from the middle of a sleep, and you know, it's
kind of move. He was concerned. He thought something had
happened to Marcella, and I said, no, everything's everything's fun.

(20:11):
Marcell said that that was his number was anyway, So
I began this hour ranting Dak Prescott said said to
be the worst interview in all the sports and also
the mini Maller monologue on the Patrick Beverly trade between
the Jazz and Lakers. Now, immediately after I pointed out
the obvious that the same Mama Lukes who were telling

(20:35):
me that Beverly's a bum, he sucks at all this,
these are the same people now are going rah Rob
Patrick Beverly, Paul this guy. Paul's a Laker apologist. He
says the Lakers are back with this Patrick Beverly trade.
Exactly what I'm talking about it inside, I would like

(20:56):
a rebuttal from Cooper Loop and Roberto, you too have
taken many shots at Patrick Beverley over the years. He's
now a Laker, your Laker lapdogs, your historians. I'll start
with you. Cooper Loop, would you like to defend the
Patrick Beverly tray? Go ahead, You've trashed this guy. You
said he's a bump. I have trashed him, um and
I you know, I still stand by what I said.

(21:18):
And I don't think that Russell Westbrook is wrong. I
don't think that he's some great defender. I think he
fouls a lot and he's just an annoying pest. But
I disagree with you with the wholes you know, square
peg round whole thing, because I think that's what the
Lakers need, is they need somebody with that kind of attitude.

(21:38):
They haven't had a you know, meta world peace type
since he's and and to be clear, I don't think
he's nearly as good as Metal World Piece was, but
we don't have somebody that's gonna go and you know,
elbows somebody in the face when he's messing with your
you know what, when you know they're messing with your guys,
that's that's what the Lakers need. Changing your position. I'm

(22:00):
not changing my position at all, changing your position, right,
I literally just told you that I don't. I don't
like Patrick Beverley. So you didn't like Lebron he's a Laker,
you didn't like Beverly. He's a Lake Who do you
who else do you hate in the NBA? Because they'll
end up on the Lakers. It's probably right. But he's
like he's a spirit animal, Patrick, but he was the

(22:21):
Clipper spirit anim but oh yeah, Kyrie could be. I don't.
I don't hate Kyrie. But Patrick Beverley has a spirit
animal and the Clippers and the Timberwolves with the Lakers,
he's like the pit bull that attacks you like he's
that Roberto. Would you like to defend Patrick Beverley. You've
taken many shots here over the years that Patrick Beverley
it was bum. He's a bum. Yeah, he's a bum.

(22:43):
He sucks, He's he's just annoying. He just annoying a past. Yeah,
I guess he's a bumb Okay, yeah, I'll remember this.
You're not you. I'll give you credit. You're not changing
your position like Joey Gallo. He's still a bum. Gallo's

(23:03):
not playing like a bummers at Dodgers. What happened that
somebody last night you were not here, Roberto, and somebody
pointed out that we took shots at Trace Thompson. Also, yeah,
we did. It's been grave, he's been glad. I was wrong.
It's very puzzling, very puzzling, very great against right handed hitters.
Puzzling that Trayce Thompson smashes right handed hitters against right

(23:26):
handed pitching. It's baffling. Great three run bomb yesterday. I
was there. Great, Thank you, Tray Like that I was
wrong about boggles the mind. Boggles the mind. Yes, uh
sock gray Blue. Be sure to catch live editions of

to Inside the Partner with Rob Partner on the iHeart

(24:11):
Radio app or wherever you get your podcast. I guess
we'll continue with the Lakers news of sorts. Did you
see that Kobe Bryant's widow, Vanessa awarded sixteen million dollars
as part of the thirty one million dollar jury verdict
on Wednesday against the La County against the deputies and
the firefighters that were responding to the helicopter crash that

(24:32):
took the life of Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Ryant's daughter Gianna.
They apparently took photographs of the photograph that they haven't
popped up on light. It's an odd thing, that amount
of money, because I think they were about around ten
people or less they actually supposedly saw the photos, and
she's getting paid a lot of money for future suffering.

(24:54):
But what if the photos never get out? I thought
to give back. Then I thought that the the higher
ups there had them delete those voted and I guess
when you send them they copied. If things can't delete
anything YETI on the internet it's always there somewhere. I mean,
how much of that is for future suffering because if

(25:16):
they don't get out, there's no nothing more from this
story other than a few people saw the photos and
that's that. But the other thing about this is if
if you're interested in this kind of gory stuff, like
in the trial I was reading, I was falling along
with a trial and they went into very graphic details
on what happened. I want to be careful here, but

(25:40):
how how Kobe met his demise and what things look
like when that happened. Things I would not have known
had this trial not taken place that are now on
the internet. So those things are on the internet. They
if you're interested in that kind of thing, you can
the very grisly details of a helicopter crash which happened

(26:00):
just just up the road from where the Fox Sports
radio studios are. I mean, I get that people in
this line of work see a lot of horrible things,
and I guess they get, you know, immune to immune
to it in a way, but they still I mean,
come on, man, you're still a human being. I mean, jeez,
do you really want to take pictures of that? Come on? No,
I mean you shouldn't do it. I agree with you

(26:21):
on that, But do you think that's a sixteen million
dollars situation anything? I mean, what price do you put on,
you know, someone suffering more because of your disgusting decision?
How much of that was for future suffering? Though you
know the number? There was a number I saw. I
don't remember what it was. But anyway, will that be
appealed or is that is that final? We have apold

(26:45):
the ruling will be another trial down the line. I
don't know. All right, It is the Bannet Maller Show.
As we continue on here through the overnight hours, and
we will get back to the calls here at eight
seven seven ninety nine on box. That's eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three six nine if you would
like to be part. And I'm looking at my board here,

(27:07):
and uh, let's see. I believe Poppy in San Diego
is next. Hello Poppy picking with Poppy. Yes that Poppy.
I made a deal with you. I said the month
of August was the month of Poppy. Yes, and damn thanks,

(27:27):
I appreciate that. And uh, Poppy wants to know what's
his record, And let's say, what's what's my record right?
You have a losing record, Poppy. Okay an he won
all the official record right there and it went in
loss it because I did win on the weekend the
Baltimore Orioles. How I told you guys, we did cash.
I didn't care who the backups was, the third string was.

(27:48):
We did cover. They won by a touchdown, so it
was minus six. The line it was minus five and
a half moved up to six and we cash. Guys.
I know we did good on the weekend, but um,
you know my team up to night tonight. Ben, thank
you for motivating me. It's being like Mike. I remember
Poppy when he was younger, you know, wanted to be
like H Michael Jordan's seeing Jordan's in the ninety one finals.

(28:12):
And you know, I was a kid and I betted
against uh my dad's boss and I actually made money
and I was like, yeah, the Chicago's bulls are gonna win,
and h I triggered him in and uh that's when
my passion came. For now Poppy's uh professional sports better
and uh a Poppy, you consider yourself a professional sports

(28:34):
better exactly? Yeah? Well guys, yeah, and uh, you know
for all the Poppy fans out there saying that they
could do better than me. You know, love Poppy or
hate Poppy. We're having picking with Poppy, and uh, you
know my picks are good, guys, My picts are good.
I'll remember guys. No, No, your picture terrible, Your picture horribly.
Have a losing record, and I told you you got

(28:54):
to you said in August. We agreed you were gonna
call up and give us picks every day, and every
day that you missed is a loss. And you've missed.
That's fine, you got a life, I get it. But
you agreed to this and you haven't shown up, and
so every time you don't give a pick, that's a loss.
That's true. You know what I'm gonna tell you, Ben,
sorry that I was taking I was taking application like

(29:16):
Tom Brady with family days off. So uh, that's what
I want to say. But a Poppies old school I
wanted to know if you can give me, if you
could give me an email when I'm not able to call,
where I can send you an email and you can
read my pick. So hopefully you can give me an email.
The bitch, the bits over, no, the bitch over whatever.
The months almost over. You have no you do have

(29:37):
to pick. You would have to pick eleven or eight
winners every single day to get back to where you
need to be. All right, man, don't wait, we're gonna
We're not uh you know, uh like the Jordan effect,
Like Mike, I wanna be like Mike. I wanna be.
I wanna be I wanna be like Mike group. You
should want to be like Poppy. I should get picks, right, Yeah,

(30:00):
I got here the pick. Here's the kid picks. I
know everyone wants to be like Poppy. Had to throw
him the Michael Michael reference. And and these are my
official picks. We're going with two picks, two picks from Arow.
We're gonna go with the game of the day for Poppy,
it's the Tampa Bay Raise against uh uh and Nheimer

(30:20):
Los Angeles Angels saying we're going with the Tampa Bay
winning guys, why why why are you? Why are you
picking Tampa Why would you pick the day? I'm picking
Tampa Bay because how I said, the Jordan effect, the
Tampa Bay raised or win on a five game winning stick,
and they're going to destroy the Angels, and we're gonna
cash on that one, guys, we're gonna go and defeat that.

(30:42):

inappropriately scouted his team during a spring game. And he

(35:42):
The correct answer led Damian Tomlinson. Eighteen games in a
row for the old San Diego Charger. Show me your
lightning bolt in the oh four oh five seasons together
it's Meller. How about that? To the third degree, this

(36:03):
is one big band gets grilled Coop Dollloop. On Tuesday,
Kyle Shanahan was asked if there is any chance that
Jimmy Garoppolo was still on the roster come the first
game of the regular season. Shanahan said any scenario was possible. Ben,
do you think that scenario is possible? So? Do I
think he's on the right No, I do not. I mean,
the only unless there's one wild card the Trey Lance

(36:26):
gets hurt outside of him ending up injured. I do
not see a scenario where Jimmy Garoppolo is there. He's
persona on Grada. He's reboating for the forty nine ers,
and they've got Lance and Nate Sudfield, who stinks late
of the Eagles as the backup the forty nine ers.
They have delusions of Grange, at least publicly, that some

(36:46):
team is gonna get all horny and make a trade
for Jimmy Garoppolo at the last minute. But good luck
on that. The starters don't even play in these exhibition games,
so Jimmy will be unshackled, and then the fund's gonna begin.
Will Garoppolo go to the Seahawks? Will he go to
the brown What about the Saints? Or will there be
a mystery team next? Been Earlier he talked about Davante Adams.
He said in that same interview that the goal that

(37:07):
he has for his legacy is having had a Hall
of Fame career. Ben, do you think when it's all
said and done, Adams will be a Hall of Famer.
So he's not a Hall of Famer now, but he's
on the path. He's got to have, by my account,
two more really good years with the Raiders post Aaron
Rodgers and that'll get him. And he's a two time
All Pro. He didn't make the All Decade team. That's

(37:30):
gonna hurt him. So I think two more good years.
He's in the Hall of Fame if he does that
with the Las Vegas Raiders. But he's getting close to thirties,
so you gotta gotta get going on that next. Sammy
Watkins spent a few seasons playing with Patrick Mahomes on
the Chiefs and now is with Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay.
This week, he told the media that Mahomes is a
great quarterback, but Rogers is on another level. Ben Obviously

(37:51):
he has to say that because he's in Green Bay,
but is he right? Well, it's like boxing, right, These
styles make fights and all that. I look at. Mahomes
is like a swarmer in the ring and Rogers is
a shrewd tactician. So they're different type of boxers, but
they're both great. How do we don't go pass this
edition that is a winner? Put it on the floor.
Like Patrick Beverley who
