Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nobber one, our one of
our radio program and we go where the stories of
the day take us, and that would be a courtroom
this hour in Lower Manhattan as Brian Flores his legal
team taking umbradge with the NFL not happy and they're

(00:20):
roaring back. What's the message that Brian Flores, the old
dolphin coach now with the Steelers his lawyers are sending.
How likely would Roger Goodell bow down to public pressure
and recuse himself as the arbitrator? And are we getting
close to the finish line in this case or will

(00:40):
it continue going down the road. We'll talk about all
that and more right now in our number one some
legal wrangling. Welcome, in the beginning of another edition of
the Ben Mallers Show. We are together in the air
every where in partnership as we run a bazooka factory

(01:04):
coast stuck coast, border to border and beyond on the
mast and universally powerful microphones of fs are emanating live
from the eye as we come to you from the
bull's eye of the audio world, the Fox Sports Radio
studios at a secret location somewhere in the north Woods,

(01:26):
and our lead this hour coming from the judge's chambers,
not Aaron judge. I did see the Yankees lost again.
You hate to see that. But this would be a
Manhattan federal court room. That is where there are new
developments in the ongoing legal brew haha. Disgruntled former Dolphins

(01:51):
head coach Brian Flores painting the NFL is a racist operation.
Now we knew about that, but there are some new
details out. I don't know if you saw this or not.
Maybe not, But the litigious lawyers filing papers in which
they belliate that having arbitration, having the case Brian Flores

(02:12):
filed go to arbitration to settle their dispute is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong,
wrong wrong. They believe a jury is neat desperately needed
to decide the outcome of this lawsuit goes back to
when Flores was fired by the Dolphins. He filed it
in February. Now he is currently employed by that racist

(02:36):
NFL with the very racist Pittsburgh Steelers, who are paying
him a salary. The lawyers said in their court papers
for Brian Flores and the other coaches who jumped on
the gravy train. While the Supreme Court does a quote.
While the Supreme Court has approved arbitration for resolution of
statutory disputes, it has not licensed employer to create an

(03:01):
unconsciously biased, one sided kangaroo courts that bear no resemblance
of a neutral judicial forum. And blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah talked about fairness. That was the preliminary
statement that came from the lawyers of Brian Flores. Now,
all of this stems from the Commissioner, Roger the dodger

(03:25):
Goodell being named as the one to oversee the overlord
of this arbitration process, and Brian Flores as lawyers making
it very clear. They spell it all out. They dotted
the eyes and crossed the t's here that this decision
would not be objective from Goodell. But wait, there's more.

(03:50):
They said in their legal papers that nobody could credibly
argue the Commissioner could somehow act objectively went, amongst other things,
he's earned hundreds of millions of dollars from the teams
and presumably we'll continue to do so, which is true.
We'll be a witness in the matter, which is also true.

(04:11):
And has already issued a public statement that the plaintiffs
allegations are without merit. That's all part of the legal
mumbo jumbo. Okay, so let's discuss take a deep breath.
That was a lot of bullcrap. So let's take a
deep breath. The question what is the message here that
Brian Flores and his lawyers are sending as we follow

(04:34):
this case blow by blow or court filing by court filing.
So my take on this, I've got Roger Stabach, rubber stamp,
and cul de sac and we'll put all of these
into a pot and we'll make a brew. A witch's
brew is what we're gonna make. So, ay, it's pretty obvious,

(04:55):
even though I'm not a lawyer, but I play one
on the radio, it's pretty obviously here that Brian Flores
and his legal team have They've just laid all of
this out in huge letters. It's so large that it
can be seen from outer space. They're digging in their heels,
they're pounding the table. And if you look at the
play sheet, and I looked at him, you know what

(05:17):
it says. It says, Hey, let's take that play from
Roger Stabo's playbook with the Old Dallas Cowboys, the creator
of the hail Mary. This is a legal hail mary.
It's clear, it's obvious. There's no haze, there's no fog.
It's a clear day. You can see as far as
you can possibly see. That is the only path here,

(05:39):
the hail Mary to victory. If Brian Flores can keep
this case out of arbitration, go to arbitration, that's death
by firing squad. Although Roger Goodell is a one man band,
in a trial, Brian Flores could find some woke jurors
who would side with him in theory, and then he'd
win a bunch of money, slanting the deck in his favor.

(06:00):
Without that, he's done. I cooked. How are you want
to say, Brian Flores A lawyers are making a lot
of noise right now, A lot of noise they're saying.
There's a saying that goes the loudest one is the
most guilty, and Brian Flores lawyers are making the most
noise here. As I said, now, are they guilty of

(06:21):
having no case? Is that why they're doing this? They
don't have much to work with. It certainly appears that
way that based on everything that I have read and
what I understand about this case, they are doomed, right,
And I understand they're playing the victimization card, and that
works well on like CNN and places like that, but
or the New York Times. But in court there are

(06:41):
still places in court where that it doesn't matter. It
does not work that way. Now Part B of this,
How likely would Roger Goodell be to bow down to
public pressure and recuse himself from being the arbitrator of
this case for the NFL? So it is not likely

(07:03):
at all? Would be stupid all right, Roger Goodell's bosses,
also known as the owners, are not in the business
of stupidity, although many of their actions would lead you
to believe otherwise. The only other option, the only other
option here is a card that we have seen Goodell
play multiple times with Deshaun Watson, the creeping quarterback, the

(07:24):
pervert of the Browns. Goodell, what he has done there
is he's passed the baton. He's given it to somebody else,
and so he could do it here. Goodell could could
go to a confidant as the magistrate over the arbitration,
but that would be a purely ceremonial act. Under that scenario,

(07:45):
Goodell would deputize a friend who's got a nice legal resume,
who used to be the attorney general of some state somewhere,
ran a big law firm, And then that person would
be brought in is the grim Reaper, and good l
would wash his hands and say, one mate, look at
the guy's resume. Look look at her resume. Former federal judge.

(08:06):
Come on, random state in New Jersey, what's wrong with you?
This whole scenario is almost completely unavoidable. Though. In the meanwhile,
if you want to work for the NFL, you have
to agree to the NFL verbiage in the contracts, whether
you're a player or a coach. They put lots of
legal ease in the end of these contracts. In any

(08:30):
work dispute, and this is where you're you're done. In
any work dispute with the NFL, it is settled by arbitration,
and very rarely does it not go to arbitration. That
is standard boiler plate language and spoiler alert. It's in
most contractual agreements. It's in almost all contractual agreements with

(08:51):
big businesses. The company that I worked for, I went
back and I read the small print. Just agreed to
a new contract race and it's in there that if
I have a dispute, it goes to arbitration. Brian Flores
rubber stamp. He put the rubber stamp that when he
signed on the dotted line, this is how it was

(09:12):
going to go. Now the same thing. I realized that
it's no different than when your I make a deal
to get a car, or if you're lucky enough to
get a house, and you have to fill out all
the PaperWorks and you do a lot of it on
doc you sign these days, and you don't actually read everything.
They tell you to read everything. But the only people

(09:32):
that read everything, like lawyers or people that have lawyers
in the family. The rest of us we just signed
and wish for the best I do on a wing
and a prayer and a DOC you signed. And that's
what Brian Flores and everyone else in the NFL does.
And so that's also the reason it would appear rather
obvious here based on as I understand things that as

(09:53):
lawyers are so rambunctious in these court filings because that's it.
They have nothing else. The only way they can win
is to get to a jury trial and find some
sympathetic juror who's on the side of Brian Flores. Otherwise,
it's done, all right, last word, So are we getting
close to the finish line? Well, I'm looking around here

(10:14):
the landscape. I'm actually I'm gonna nod my head yes
on this because we are close to the final chapter.
There's a few more pages and then we're gonna get
to the appendix at the end of the at the book.
There at the end of the book. But the lawyers
for Brian Flores, they missed the street sign. Either they
missed it or they saw it and they ignored it.
But it says cul de Sac dead end street turn around.

(10:35):
Because of the language in the contract, Brian Flores does
not have a leg to stand on. They're going to
have to make a youth turn here. It's not a
throw way, and they're hoping that the Hail Mary the
rosary beads divine intervention work. Otherwise, Flores, who got all

(10:57):
the publicity when he dropped the lawsuit, the dreams of
winning a big bag of cash are going bye bye
out the window. Based on the fact that it says
any disagreement work dispute goes to arbitration. All right, is
the ban and Mallers show. If you would like to

Indianapolis Colt two years ago I barely remember, named Andrew Luck.

away from football. You want to play anymore? He took

(12:25):

(13:57):
Talk in September. As we shift over into the month
of September, here Chris in des Moines writes in he says, hey, Ben,
since today's theme is X head Coaches on the show,
can you squeeze in a Mike Dicka monologue for old
time's sake? Well, Chris, I'm glad you brought Dicka's name up.

(14:19):
I don't know that I've told this story in the
year before, but I actually tried to get Mike Ditka
on my podcast. I have Mike Dicka's phone number, and
I called multiple times and he did not answer his phone.
I left a message for Coach Ditka. I figured he's
too old for a text because if you're over a
certain age, the whole text message thing doesn't work. And

(14:40):
I figured Dicka was not not gonna respond to a
text message, so I left a voicemail message and he
didn't get back to me. So, but I would love
to talk about Mike Dick good over the top nonsense
doc Mike, who used to call this show on a
regular basis. Doc claimed to be friends with with Dica

(15:03):
claimed claimed to be friends. But I heard that Dick
is not doing that good though somebody told me that
his health is not that great, So I hope he's
doing all right. I don't know, but that's that's my
ten cents on DICKO. He began with the latest on
the Brian Flores legal controversy. The lawsuit, which based on

(15:25):
the words of his lawyers, is not going well as
he's desperately his legal team desperately trying to keep it
out of arbitration, because that's where this thing is headed,
the Bills Monster writes, and he says a plus on
the malar monologue, the NFL would win this case in
regular court. It's hard to sue an organization which is
currently paying you a check. It's a very strange, very

(15:46):
strange case, The Bills Monster points out. Who else do
we have page down, page down? Stevie Meatballs in Florida,
says Benjamin f Minus. He says on the opening malar
monologue on Brian Floras, terrible choice of topics, he said,
sofa king boring dude, unless, of course, this is by design.

(16:08):
You deliberately drove off the casual listeners, leaving only the
hardcore mallar militia to still tune in. Yes, that's my goal,
to drive away listeners. It's it's hard enough to get
people to listen to a radio show and be loyal
to a radio show and not listen to other crap
that's are available, but to drive them away? Why not

(16:30):
late night drug Testers says pretty sure, Roger Goodell will
just call up the impartial Paul Tagliabu to do his
dirty work. The Burner accounts says that was a great job, Benjamin.
I was trying to see how long I could last
without falling asleep driving listening to that law mumbo jumble.
Why didn't you just break down the US open or

(16:51):
give us an update on the Russian prison breakfast menu,
borsh Man. These guys get so triggered by a little
legal monologue. Oh my god, get a clue. Burner County
says a C minus on the Mala monologue. Tom from
Fullerton writes and says, Brian Flores best play is to

(17:13):
just get some money out of the arbitration and prepare
the Steelers to deliver a beat down on the Stinky Fish.
In week seven, Eric and Boston writes, and he says
a plus on the Mala monologue, Brian Flores has zero
chance of winning Roger Goodell's carnival game. The owners want
this to go away, so no precedent is said. See

(17:35):
that's a good malamoogu because half the people liked it,
in the other half hate it. I obscene Dean whoever
that is, says f on the monologue. You didn't counter
any of Flora's team's points. Well, there's no need to
counter the points because he agreed to a contract, you dumbass, Dean.

(17:55):
He agreed to a contract that goes to arbitration, so
you can make all the noise you want. It's not fair.
You agreed to the contract. You agreed that if there's
any workplace dispute based on this agreement, you will go
to an arbitration process. Here's how the arbitration process works.
It's in a deal he's signed. So they're just making noise.
So there's no reason to rebuke the argument made by

(18:18):
Brian Flores and his lawyers. They're pounding the table because
as the old quote goes, and we love this quote,
if you have the facts, you pound the facts, right,
you hammer the facts and all that. If you don't
have the facts, you pound the table. And so they're
pounding the table. That's what they're doing, and that's the

(18:40):
way this goes. Let's see your Cowboy Killer says, are
you finally going to participate in the weekly Malam Militia
fantasy League? Well, I've not been sent a proper proposal,
Cowboy Killer. No one has approached me. I've seen some
snide comments on social media, but that's what social media's form.
But nobody has said, Hey, here's what we're doing, here's

(19:02):
where the league is, here's how many people are playing,
what are the stakes. I haven't gotten any of the specifics,
and as you know, I'm a very busy person. I
think he's referring to the to the Draft Kings. What's that.
I think it's referring to the Draft Kings League. Now, well,
we don't we don't have that copy though. We don't
have a Draft Kings Fantasy football a spot. We have

(19:23):
the sports book spots that we're doing coop. Well, I'm
I'm making one. Oh you're making one. Yeah, like we
did last year that you never played in. Yeah, well
you represented the show though, Coop, so we it's just
like I represented the show at the Mallard meet and greet,
and then you represent the show in the in the
fantasy League. We take turns. That's how we operate here.

(19:43):
I mean, you can send me the details. Maybe I'll
maybe I'll get it. I don't know, but anyway, right
it is the Ben Mallards Show. Will take a call
or two and two the phones. We go at eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven
nine six three six nine. Let's go to Longhorn, who's

(20:05):
in Florida. Hello Longhorn, Welcome, Hey, how are you doing?
How you doing being welcome? Horns? Hey, I understand what
you were saying about the contracts, and trust me, I
understand about the contract That's the problem with a lot

(20:25):
of young kids now. They come into the job like
I do, and they think they're gonna make the money
you're doing. You've been there for years. But what all
I'm trying to say is Florida is gonna lose on
the taking to the court or whatever because he signed
the contract. All I was trying to say was if

(20:50):
you act like it is no type of racism about
that at all. Brother, And I listen, I've been leaving
you for six months and the first time called them.
Maybe I should have called you before. I got a
couple of blood and mirrors there. But come on, brother,
how many not? How many? How many bloody mirrors have

(21:10):
you had today? Three? Three? All right? Well, who are
the racist owners so we can get rid of them?
Give me the names of the racist owners? Well on racist? No,
listen one, I'm trying to say, brother, Well, no, no,
no them, I'm gonna give I'm giving you the form
right now, a longhorn. I would like you to name

(21:32):
them if you know who they are. I would like
to know who they are. Who are they? It's not
about individual uh racism is It's just like I'm sure
I'm from Mississippi. I still remember, uh the white in
black water fountains. And I'm just for this seven years old,

(21:52):
so it don't have individual It's an age, brother. And
I'm not I'm not. I'm not. I'm not trying to
say that they not paying them. They're not paying them,
But who are the teams? That are they're doing it though.
I mean he's just making a broad statement here. Yeah, okay,
specifics don't you isn't that Yeah, yeah, that would be

(22:13):
be fair. But brother, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I don't. I don't try to put persistently like when
I'm walking to Uh, it's like I'm gonna put like
this for me, okay, when I'm when I'm when I'm
going into a store. Like when I was in the
Marine Corps, Uh, you don't know who the enemy is

(22:35):
because they all weren't regular clothes. But if they had
a uniform on, I could say, oh, yeah, that's an
enemy right there. That's all I'm trying to ask. What
do you look? You go in? Do you go? I
mean the man ask you you go in thinking that
everyone's out to get you? That this person absolutely not,
absolutely not good. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be

(22:57):
one that today. Well, I understand, and when I got
out of Mississippi, when I went to the Marine Corps,
was that all white people wasn't bad and all people
weren't bad. But while while I was at while I
was raised that that's when you see if you saw
the mail man, or you saw a white person coming neighborhood,
you thought all of them wasn't bad. What I'm trying

(23:18):
to say is evolution. But you can't say that all
of them are not. That's all I'm trying to say.
People in every race, I mean there are yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah the board, there is a you know, within
the margin of error. I don't. I don't think there's
lesson in any group. But that's just h and I
think brand for it just coming out now because his

(23:41):
money got a little short. You know what I'm saying,
because you have over there every time. All I'm trying
to say is we just can't make it a broad
uh brode brush on any race. That's all I'm trying
to say. And and and it comes down I don't
even do that. I mean, if you think I do that,
I mean, that's your your entire of your opinion. But
I don't think I just I look at each case.

(24:03):
Oh I absolutely not. I got I got plenty of
Caucasian friend that better than mean that the people who
are raised there with What all I'm trying to say
is we can't say it is like it's always when
African American making a complaint that you know and now
I understand about the contracts. Trust me, I understand about

(24:25):
the contracts because the problem with the kids coming the
day they don't understand when they signed a contract the contract.
The problem is, I gotta let you go along, Horne,
because I have got a clock here and I'm gonna
get in troll if I go any longer with you.
But the point is that these contracts, it's it's one
of those things you can't really avoid it. I mean,
it's the epitome of a double edged sword, right, because

(24:47):
if you want to work for the NFL, you have
to sign a contract. They're not going to allow you
to sign a contract without the language in it. And
I'm in the same boat where I work and pretty
much any big company, that's the way they do things.
So that's just the fact of working for big corporation.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

(25:33):
Explorer some amazing facts about human nature and more. Let'sten
to the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Our friend
Brian Finley was in here a little bit earlier, bouncing
off the walls because in tennis, Serena Williams and is
still alive with the upset of the second ranked player
in the world, someone I have never heard of in
my life. Her name is a net contivate. She lost

(25:56):
to Serena seven six two six six two. Serena with
the upset win to stay alive not only for the
US Open, but apparently for her career. Is supposed to
be her swan song to tennis used to be Eddie Spike,
Spike Williams, Spike Lee was there, Tiger Woods was there

(26:18):
as a who's who out there, big big shots. Yeah,
there were models. I don't know who they are. There
were musicians. I don't really know who they were. They
were there. You're old, you don't know the cool cool kids. Yeah,
I no longer know models anymore. You still know the
names of models when I was younger, but I don't
know the name. Do you know any big celebrity models
these days? The last model I was aware was like

(26:39):
Giselle Bunshi. Yeah, he Clo a model anymore? Was Heidi Klum?
Yeah that's old too, though, I know. No, you know
a model under the age of like Nty No, Well,
I mean there's you knew some after Giselle though, Kate Upton,
Oh that's true. Yeah, I know her. Yeah, but she
was in the swimsuit thing Verlander. She married a cheating astro.

(27:01):
Well actually he wasn't on the Astros when they cheated,
but he plays for the team, so by association. All right,
thank you for that. Eddiet is the Ben Mathers Show.
As we continue on, and Andrew luck is back thirty
two years old, the former quarterback of the Indianapolis coach.
It was announced this week that he is returning to
the scene of the crime, now not Indianapolis. He's going

(27:24):
back to northern California. He's heading back to Stanford to
get his master's degree. That little nugget coming from Stanford
football coach David Shaw, Well, the former coach of Andrew
Luck at Stanford back in the day, and he said
Luck is living his best life and he's doing very well.

(27:48):
He's just had his family had another baby there and
is very content, according to Stanford coach David Shaw with
his life, the way things ended up in his NFL
career and all that. And he's going back to get
his masters in education. So that is the news there.
I have a couple of questions though, First of all,

(28:10):
why is he doing it? Is he bored? He must
be bored, right, Like the whole point to me of
higher education is so you can get a good job
and make a lot of money. Andrew Luck made over
one hundred million dollars playing quarterback in Indianapolis. He also
came from a family that had money. His dad made

(28:31):
a lot of money, probably more after he played in
the NFL than when he played in the NFL in academia.
So you just must be bored. You just want to
hang out. And I know in that family, higher education
it's a big deal. And all that I get. His
dad's worked at universities and whatnot over the years. But
you're not doing it to make more money. You don't
need the degree. You don't need a master's degree to

(28:53):
make more money. You're already financially set. Your kids are
financially set. Their kids are financially set. Money makes money,
And I'm assuming you didn't put all of your money
into doge coin a few years ago. Andrew luck and
you've got your money. I mean, to each their own,
do what you want. But if you had one hundred
million dollars, would you go back to college? I would not.

(29:16):
If I had one hundred million dollars, I would buy
an island somewhere in a plane, and I'd have I
wouldn't fly the plane myself. I'd had a professional pilot,
and I'd live a great life, wonderful life. But I
wouldn't worry about going back to Stanford to get my
master's degree, because the whole point of doing that is
to get a lot of money. Come on, man, oh man,

(29:38):
all right, who else we have? I see page down,
page down. Some of these are not not good. Just
Josh says, well played, on the Fantasy League. It's all
about representation. Yeah, well, the big words these days are
inclusion and representation. So as long as a member of

(29:58):
the shows included inclusion and coop will be part of
the Fantasy League. And if I get a proper offer,
I will consider I'm taking part. I will all right
Ben Mather's show on Fox and say hello to Blind
Scott who's in Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, welcome. Oh hey, yeah,

(30:19):
I had one of these employment lossuits before. If he
was really having a beef with the NFL, he wouldn't
have gone back to work for the NFL and took
a lesser job. But one thing I know because I
had a girlfriend who went to law school once that
I slept with, and I have an employment lawyer too,
and he told me never to take a jury because
you just can't. You always take a judge because you

(30:42):
can't get everybody to agree in the jury. So that's
like the biggest loser thing to ever, do you know
what I mean? And I like that Longwood call. He's
from Florida, he's a marine. He could they're looking for
teachers that are veterans, are Florida. He could be an
English teacher and Florida. I was thinking, and one more thing.
I like that mets the Timmy the trumpet you got

(31:02):
to play for the match. I think me and Eddie
should do karaoke of that song Narco on the show.
I could be the trumpet, Eddie can do the lyrics,
and I think that that would work out pretty good
because oh yeah, one other thing. Wait, wait, wait, wait,
hold on, see do you know how to play a trumpet?
I know I could play it with my mouth. I
know that. How would that sound like they goingnute? Okay,

(31:32):
hold hold on, hold on, hold on, Eddie, would you
be willing to do karaoke with Blind Scott on the
Narco song? Uh? Do they have the lyrics on it
somewhere on on the you can get and you want
just google it, Eddie. They're really easy. Yeah, it's real simple.
Do do you think that would be a ratings winner? Ben, Oh,
that'd be big. More importantly, it would last forever, Eddie.

(31:55):
We could save it and then we could play it
when we get bored and we're lonely one day, and
we can go back and playing on the show in
the year invest We haven't done music in a long time.
We need more music. How about this. If the Mets
win tomorrow, we'll do it to celebrate the Mets winning
the series. That I'll be practice. I'll practice all that. Hey,

(32:18):
and hey, one more thing too. I don't like it
how this meet great was only four hours. I wanted
to be from like twelve to like ten thirty at night,
so we have like an all day. You know, I'm
not coming off about to California just to hang out
for far us. I want like the whole week. I
want the whole experience. The next time I told that
three hours, I said, right, I said three hours. Next time,

(32:39):
four hours. Like, I was a little surprised. It did
kind of peter out there at the end. I thought
I thought everyone was going to be upset, but no
people were actually leaving, so they had to go to work.
That's the problem. And it was an afterparty. Jay Scoop
had an after party. You could have gotten the after party.
Four people there at the after party. Yeah. I heard
they were doing Mexican marching powder that too, when they
stayed up all night. Crisis alright, yeah, all right, thank
