Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Burr. Four hour four
of our radio program, and here an hour number before.
It's all about Lamar Jackson. Lamar's not happy, and if
Lamar's not happy, nobody's happy. The Ravens eliminated from the
playoffs without Lamar Jackson over the weekend, and is Lamar

(00:22):
Jackson merely taking care of his body or sending a
message a hidden message the Ravens brass. He also sent
out a cryptic message on social media. What will the
Ravens do about Lamar Jackson going forward? And where will
Lamar Jackson land should he relocate from Baltimore. We'll talk

(00:43):
about that and more right now in our number four.
Here it is decode the message. You've got to decode
the message. Well go man, the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the air

(01:05):
everywhere in Alliance as we level up coast to coast,
border to order and beyond. On the mast and unimaginably
powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from the cast.
Not broadcasting. It is wish casting. We are broadcasting live

(01:27):
from the ti irac dot com studios ti iraq dot com.
We'll help you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers
ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be
in our lead this hour, coming from the Speculation Machine,

(01:49):
We'll get to the Cowboys and they're rip roaring victory
over the Dallas over the Tampa by Buccaneers last night
and Monday night football Dallas. Advancing to the visual round.
We'll get to that minute, but I lead this hour
coming from Baltimore. The Ravens left licking their wounds after
the stunner from Cincinnati with their backup quarterback, the Ravens

(02:11):
hanging around, hanging around. It was anyone's game, anyone's game
there with Tyler Huntley playing under center, Baltimore was matching
blow for blow with the Bengals. And that was until
the fourth quarter, when it looked like the Ravens had
matriculated the ball down the field, got in position to

(02:31):
take the lead. They tried a quarterback keeper and what
right there? And the quarterback keeper? What happened? Well, no
game right up the metal, no game. Only to see
Tyler Huntley famba bug on the rug and watch a
defensive end a lumbering defensive end named Sam Hubbard scoop

(02:53):
the ball up and run ninety eight yards the other
way for a record setting touch down, and that turned
out to be the difference of the game. The Bengals
able to get away with a shove in the back
when they're linebackers. Marcus Bailey did shove Mark Andrews in
the back. They did not call it, and they swallow

(03:15):
the whistle and in the end that turns out to
be the deciding touchdown. The Ravens had other opportunities. They
had another opportunity but failed to get it done. His
time was winding down in the game. That fourteen points
swing is all that was needed to turn this game around.
Baltimore did not have the services of Lamar. Lamar Jackson,

(03:36):
their MVP quarterback, was not there. Jackson nursing a knee
injury that was supposed to be a three week injury,
now past six weeks. He was unavailable, unwilling to suit
up for Baltimore, and now that led to a lot
of chatta chatta, chatta, chatta chatta about the future of

(03:56):
Lamar Jackson and the Land of the crab Cake and
Lamar not even showing up to the Ravens facility or
locker area there to clean out his locker. He did
not show up to the game in Cincinnati over the weekend,
and so this is all added some more drama, old
rama to the story. Lamar Jackson posted an update on

(04:21):
just how serious he claims the knee injury was. We
talked about that in a previous episode of the show
near the end of last week. Now that did not
end the story, though, as if you're paying attention and
keeping an eye on all that was going on, a
very annoyed John Harbaugh answered a question about his quarterback

(04:44):
on Sunday night and looked like he would rather be
sleeping in the fetal position, sucking on his thumb, wearing
pajamas than talk about his quarterback. Now, we also had
a field day with the media x jos in the media,
the jockocracy of the sporting world. You had a TV
talking head RG three very disappointed, very disappointed with Michael

(05:07):
Vick who had said some mean things, and he came
to Lamar Jackson's defense against Michael Vick, who clowned on.
Lamar Jackson also posted a cryptic Instagram story on Monday
this after the game he said, quote, when you have
something good, you don't play with it, you don't neglect it.

(05:30):
When you have something good, you pour into it, you
appreciate it. Because when you take care of something good,
that good thing takes care of you. Two close. Quote
sounds like it was taking off some bumper sticker website
from the nineteen eighties, But that is the quote Lamar
Jackson sent out. So let us discuss the question. Is

(05:50):
Lamar Jackson merely taking care of his body and his
knees really messed up? Or is he sending a message
in a bottle to the ravens? All right, So the
way I am proceeding here, the arrow is pointing at
the message in the bottle to the ravens. I've got
smoldering embers, ratcheting and flight attendants, and we're gonna hammer

(06:12):
all of this down, and we are going to make
a grumpy quarterback, is what we're going to make. So
first of all, Lamar Jackson is making sure that the
big Cahunas, the power brokers in Baltimore are squirming like
a worm. Right, No mixed messages on this one. It

(06:33):
was a week to week injury that they said worst
case scenario was three weeks. It's now been six weeks.
It's not about the knee. It's no longer about the knee.
It's about the bag. And this doesn't talk, it's screams
at you. There's no whispering right reading the room here.
Lamar Jackson is the F word. Not that F word,

(06:57):
Not the F word, Black Steve the second set on
the air last, Lamar Jackson is flummixed. He is flummixed
that the Ravens did not take care of his wants
and needs. He wanted the creepy quarterback pay day. We
all know the story there. Baltimore bocked back back back box.
They boked at paying the Shawn Watson money to Lamar Jackson.

(07:19):
They said, well, Cleveland's a bunch of dumb dumbs. Why
would we make the same mistake to Browns me? And
that was the ignition point. That was the spark that
led to the wildfire, and we watched over the weekend.
Those smoldering embers have continued to cause flare ups as
the year has gone on. We have heard that people

(07:40):
in the organization think Lamar Jackson is guilty of malingering,
that he had again a minor knee injury and that
he's milking it much like a farmer milks a cow.
And as a result, Lamar Jackson is guilty of a
sin among all sins. He let his raven T mates
and the coaching staff down. He let the entire organization

(08:03):
down because he's trying to make a point to get
out of the Ravens contract or to get paid. One
thing leads to another and we end up with Lamar
ranting about the Ravens neglecting him in that cryptic message
that he sent out. Now, secondly, what will the Ravens
do about Lamar Jackson going forward? So we're out of

(08:26):
Fork in the Road now, and all indications had been
Lamar Jackson was going to get the tag. He was
gonna get the franchise tag. That appears to have changed now.
It's not a fat a complete that they bury the
hatchet the Ravens and just give Lamar Jackson the franchise
tag he wants out. We know Lamar wants out based

(08:47):
on his actions. He has said one thing. His actions
speak louder than his words. He has not said that
he wants out of Baltimore. He said all the right things,
but his actions indicate that he is angry. He's very angry,
and unless the Ravens pony up the moolah, Lamar has
a wandering eye and he didn't want the franchise tag

(09:08):
that is toxic. He wants nothing to do with toxic.
And he's demanding a massive signing bonus with a cartoon
size check. And Baltimore has shown again no indication that
they're ready to go down that avenue. So what we
have here is a standoff at the Raven's nest. Lamar

(09:31):
Jackson ultimately has up the anti He's up the stakes here.
He's ratcheted up the hostilities, ratcheting up the vitriol with
his actions. That vanishing act from Baltimore season is a
declaration of contract war. And Michael Vick advise Lamar Jackson
to essentially rub some dirt on it and get back

(09:53):
out there. He had said in the lead up to
the playoff game against the ben Gals, he had said
that Jackson should quote put a brace on it, get
it going now. Charles Woodson, who was sitting across the
panel on a television show on Fox talking about all this,
Charles Woodson said, quote of Lamar Jackson, he doesn't know.
This is of Woodson talking about Lamar jackson situation. He

(10:15):
said he doesn't know if he would have the balls
to do it, clearly implying that Lamar Jackson's faking the injury.
That's the implication from Charles Woodson. Though, those comments led
to a lot of pearl clutching from social media experts
connoisseurs of all things football who blindly believe Lamar Jackson
is tremendously hurt and needs major reconstructive knee surgery. They

(10:39):
buy everything the athlete says, hook line and sinker. It's
fascinating to me that you have other athletes who played
the game who do not believe Lamar Jackson. They think
he's full of malarkey. And yet Joe Public for the
most part, it's like, oh no, if Lamar says he's hurt,
he's hurt. That's all we have to You can't go

(11:00):
any other answer other than yes, he's hurt. Like never
before in the history of professional sports, the industrial complex
of professional sports, have we seen an athlete milk and
injury to get more money, right to protect them either
protect themselves to get a payday, or to position themselves

(11:21):
to get a different kind of a check. Now, we
will soon get clarity on this story, and that's one
of the fun things about this job. We'll get an
answer either Lamar will indeed force his way out of
a Ravens uniform, or or Baltimore is gonna pay the man.

(11:41):
So there's no other answer. I don't see this being
a franchise tag situation anymore. If anything, based on the
clues here, there will be a franchise tag, but will
not be exclusives. What I meant to say like, there's
no way the Ravens can bring Lamar Jackson back if
they truly believe he's a quitter and he quit on
the team and he could played and he was just

(12:01):
trying to make a bigger statement for the contract. You
can't trust that guy. That's a snake. You can't have
that player on your team. If that's what Lamar Jackson did.
I understand why he did it, but you can't keep
that guy around because he's lost all credibility and let
him go to somebody else and then he can be
somebody else's problem. Now, final thought, Baltimore now has to

(12:25):
decide how they want to play this. The ball is
in their court, John Harball and friends could block out
the noise. They could give, as we've said, Lamar Jackson
the exclusive franchise tag. We don't think they'll do that.
That would mean Lamar cannot negotiate with any other teams.
That would be a holding pattern, and you'd have a
similar situation pop up next year. If Lamar has an injury,

(12:46):
it's a two week injury. Is he gonna miss a month?
Is he gonna miss two months right now? The other
option here, The other option would be if you franchise
tag Lamar, you give him an average the five largest
salaries for a quarterback. But with bad blood bruin, it
is more likely than not that the answer is the

(13:09):
non exclusive franchise tag. Non exclusive? What the hell does
that mean? In Layman's terms, it means if Lamar has
the non exclusive tag and agrees to a MEGAMEGAMEGAMEGAMEGAMEGAMEGA millions
contract offer from let's say the Jets, then the Ravens

(13:30):
would have not one, not two, not three, not four
five days to match that offer, And if the Poets
decide not to match the offer, then they would receive
a compensation package of draft picks, the equivalent of not
one but two first round picks. So where will Lamar
Jackson land if he leaves Baltimore? This is this is

(13:53):
going to be a fun game. We'll cut the ribbon
on this game once the offseason really gets going there.
But the court of public opinion is one thing, the
public courting is another. We're gonna see all kinds of
fluttering eyelashes, puppy dog eyes playing footsie under the negotiating table.
And I would advise the flight attendants to prepare for

(14:16):
landing in New Jersey because we know the Jets have
been on the record that they're horny for a quarterback.
They're desperate that ownership, the Johnson and Johnson clan. They
think they have everything they need on the menu, all
the ingredients, except for one that Zack Wilson has been

(14:36):
a hemrhoid who keeps flaring up at the wrong time.
Their gang Green could send the number thirteen pick Zach
Wilson if they want to throw him in the trade,
get rid of a headache and the twenty twenty four
first round pick to the Ravens for Lamar Jackson, and
then they get Lamar. The Ravens get a couple of

(14:57):
first round picks. Now, if I'm the Ravens, I wouldn't
make that trade, but they probably will. Right outside of
New York, you've got Carolina, Atlanta, New England, in Indianapolis.
The reason I wouldn't make that trade is I don't
value draft picks. I don't value first round picks. I'm
FM picks. Guys, most of those first round picks do

(15:18):
not work out the way they're supposed to work out.
Everyone gets all excited, and then, for example, Zach Wilson
is a living embodiment of that. This guy was going
to beat God's gift of the quarterback position. And oh
my god, he's so good out of BYU and he
had that crazy throw at his workout day and it's amazing.
He can tie his shoes and stand up and walk

(15:40):
and chew gum at the same time. And so I
wouldn't take the draft picks, but I'd rather get some
kind of quarterback. But who you're gonna get at quarterback
if you trade Lamar Jackson. Nobody's got any good quarterback.
Otherwise they wouldn't want Lamar Jackson. But you look around
the wink in and out of the Raiders and the Dolphins,
Tom Brady's gonna be in play here. Lamar has ties
to South Florida. We know that he'd like to play

(16:03):
for the Dolphins. Is close to home. Miami does not
have a first round pick because they were guilty of tampering,
and so it becomes more complicated as far as that
is concerned this year, all right now. Meanwhile, the Dallas
Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that game not close.
Tom Brady sucked at a time he cannot suck. He
was terrible from beginning to end. Dak Prescott was just

(16:26):
bad for the first part of the game. He settled
in after his first three or four incomplete passes and
then was wonderful. I'm still not crazy and pressed with
the Cowboys because the Buccaneers were a bad team. The
Cowboys were favored on the road. They were supposed to
win that game. I did a rant about that earlier.
If you want to hear it, you can download the
podcast when it's done. But Tom Brady sounded like he

(16:50):
was saying his goodbyes to Tampa Bay. He will be
playing somewhere else next year in the NFL. Straight Ahead,
the target of Bill Belichick, What is the target of
Bill Belichick. We will get to that, and we will
do it next. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven

(17:10):
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio. There's
a widespread problem of boring sports stock, but The Ben
Maller Show offers a solution. Under the cover of darkness,
we are twenty five percent more effective at delivering zany
hot takes than our competitors. We'd love for you to
help us grow the audience with a personal endorsement simply
mentioned our show and tagalog with us on Twitter, Instagram,

(17:32):
and Facebook. We are growing the Maller Militia, one new
member at a time. At Ali from the tire Rack
dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller. It
was a heavy Lamar Jackson Miller monologue to begin the hour. Listeners.
Sharon right Sin says, honestly, I am tired of these
devas and their egos. All of a sudden, Now you're tired,

(17:54):
says Kyler. Murray wants to call plays and interview the
new coach in Lamar Jackson holding the Ravens hostage, have
some humility. He says, I don't want these guys on
my team. There's seven or eight other teams that would
die to have those guys. But the Kyler Murray thing
fascinates me because he's never been that good. He's always

(18:17):
been a smoke and mirrors guy. And the Cardinals showing
you that they have no grasp of how to run
a franchise ownership. They just handed everyone a contract extension.
It's like, oh, yeah, we're so excited. Oh we made
the playoffs. Wait, Shane from Des Moines Rights and he says,
good fourth hour Mallard monologue. What you should have done?
Fifteen minutes on the unwritten rules of cursing in game

(18:39):
shows and maybe compare that to the unwritten rules of baseball. Well, no,
these these have been spoken rules, Shane, and he says,
congratulations to Ben and Steve the team that won. That
is correct, We did win, Shane in De Moine, that
is correct. If you were not listening last hour, we
played a radio game show and a Blackstea the Second cursed,

(19:01):
not once, but twice. The rule has always been if
the caller curses, then they are disqualified. Now we gave
Black Steve the Second another bite of the cherry, and
he then proceeded to curse again. I've now learned it's
come to my attention that the only time the contestant

(19:22):
is disqualified is when I am playing with the contestant.
If Eddie is playing with the contestant, then apparently the
rules do not apply. Because yet again Eddie Garcia, who
was involved in that massive cheating scandal of twenty twenty two.
Here we are in a brand new year, and yet
again Eddie Garcia up to his old shenanigans. It's a
bad job by him, and those that are true listeners

(19:46):
of the show, that are fans of the show know
what happened. For Dog, for examples, his great performance by
Stephen Manhattan. He doesn't know how the game is played,
but he kept his composure and he didn't curse. That
is a win. That is a and that's from fur Dog,
the voice of record on this particular topic. Now, let's
get to the calls right now. It is a call
in show, so we'll take some calls. Why not. What

(20:08):
the hell do we have to do other than that?
At eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, let's Welcome
in from the Great State of Louisiana. We have a
brand new caller, Trey in Louisiana. Hello, Trey, Welcome, hey man, appreciate,
thank you for taking a call. Man. Uh look, tonight
you had at one guy said he wanted to be

(20:28):
in the mallor militia and everything, and uh, there was
this suggestion and then you you know, you try to
get him on cracking jokes. It's so bad you had
to pull the car Lewis out. Look here there's a
there's not anyone out there trying to take to those.
If he goes to car Lewis. I mean, you're doing
a crabby job. But anyways, So is that a dead
Is that a dead giveaway? Is that a dead kind

(20:49):
of is it kind of is? Look, let's just act
you my second call. The first time I called was
that night I saw Tom Brady and the podium. I
guess it's a journing the press conference end of it,
and we saw him. I look at that guys had
classic surgery. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that
when he came back from his ten Days disappearance, when
he was probably realizing that he lost forty million dollars

(21:12):
with FTX. When he came back from that to baccle
and he didn't look different. His face looked like he
had had some done. Yeah, yeah, now clearly did it
look at this fine? I was still bad for people
who worried about the way to look so much to
where they go out and then okay, say okay, dot
having it here cut away. But uh now and you
have this surgery. You Three things can happen. Three things
could happen. One is people tell you, hey, look, you

(21:34):
look gone, you feel good about it, and no one
mentioned surgery. For those two things is you can wind
up looking like the Joker, or you can look like
a catfish. Now you could do the combos joke Joker,
catfish and but as and I'm sure somewhere out there
right now in Beverly Hills, there's a room full of
people all look like the Joker, like a ball or something,
the richie of the ball. Well, not just not just

(21:56):
a room in Beverly Hills, there's people all over the
place that look oliver, that looked like that they've had
too much work done. It is addictive. I've heard it's
kind of like tattoos. I don't have any tattoos, but
I've heard people to get tattoos, like, once you get it,
you kind of love it. You keep going back to
get more. And plastic surgery. Once you get a little
plastic surgery, you're like, hey, I want a little more
of that. I kind of like that. All right, let

(22:16):
me get back to that. I'll get back under the knife. Yeah. Yeah,
I guess you're rich, and I guess you get hooked
on surgery. You gonna go to the those meetings, but
you know, they're all they're all addicted to drugs and stuff,
and you're I'm addicted, you know, one hundred thousand dollars
surgeries and stuff like that. But fortunately I can't afford that,

(22:38):
so I don't have to worry. And plus I'm ugly anyway.
I was never like good looking anyway, so I don't
have to worry about all right. Well, thank you, Trey,

I mean if you can recall, but his cadence, the
way that he was talking sounds like he's related to
Jed who fled. Well, you're just you see your stereotype. No,
I was thinking the same thing. I thought. It sounded

(23:43):
like Jed's dad. Yes, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.

she would love to do some kind of remord were

she could sing a little bit or something like that. Okay,
or you could both sing together. That would be even better.

(25:57):
Freaking news to tell you. They announced in the band

Kettering Banjo Scriday? Thirty five years? Oh you didn't let
me guess thirty five years? Are you kidding me? My goodness,

Banjo Society? Well, we, as you know, we lost a

(26:18):
lot of members this year, Ben I went a lot
of we lost Susie, we lost Phil and over the years,
I remember the first concert. I went with my girlfriend
who was at Carol Lawn Park down there by. It's
down near by where I used to go to college.
And I just saw him and I went up to
Homeber and said, I played music. Was that the Machu

(26:39):
bur And I ever since then, I went to practices
and you know, there's people even came over at lows
to see me, Ben, and you know, and as you
know me, I it's just a great thing. And I
do want to say one thing. Congratulations to Zach Taylor
and to Cincinnati Bengals. I mean it's like a story.

(27:02):
But you know, Ben, Dick and Dayton. When Huntley had
the ball at the one yard line and the Ravens
looked like they were going to score the touchdown, how
concerned were you were you watching the game Dick at
that time? Yes, you were. I thought, well, you know
that the momentum is it gonna be here. But I
but the dog gone defense, you know it? You denied? Yeah.

(27:27):
I thought they were great, and I think they're going
to have trouble with Buffalo. I'm a little worried about.
See Joe Burrow has to get some good protection. Yeah,
would you be willing to play on the offensive line.
If the Bengals called you, yes, you would yes? What
position on the line? Would you be? A guard? A tackle,
a center? Where would you play? Tackle? Blindside tackle? Is

(27:50):
what this guy would play? Dickie did? Now. I would
like to set you up with Kathy and Madison, Dick
and Dayton. I assume, though, you don't have email? Is
that correct? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you don't. You don't use email.
You're not on Twitter? Is that accurate? Don't wait a minute? No,
the film you can see something about me. I think

(28:11):

on that number to Kathy and she'll give you a buzz.

Doesn't think he's got articles though, yeah there are articles
on Facebook. Though it's so good. Oh that is now?

(30:01):
Should I save these two for the talent show or
should I just have them right away? This could be
a Benny Award winning performance. Kathy and Madison. I hate,
I hate to say this. Don't say they don't say
I would say right away, right away, don't don't save
it for another day. None of us are spring chickens, Eddie,
I know what you're saying. I got you there, I

(30:22):
understand completely. Let's say a lout of Blind Scott always
a bundle of fun. Hello blind Scott in Boston. Yeah, Hey,
that conversation you had with Dick and Day and that
was an off air conversation that you had on air.
You know what I mean. I don't think Dick has
much more time left with us either, because he's so old.

(30:42):
You know, he can't even work at Lows anymore. Hey,
I got to play this. I got to say this
about the Bengals and the Bills. Um. I think Josh
Allen sucks. He has the yips, that guy, he can't
play football anymore. I think the Bengals are going to
destroy them. I'd also like to break down Eddie went
to a Los Angeles Chargers viewing party. The earlier listeners
didn't hear this, so it's about three hundred listeners there

(31:05):
in LA and that was all the Chargers fans. You know,
I want to break down this dude that he breaks
the glass, like after the night's all over, he breaks
a glass Like, Now, is this dude gonna be banned
from Chargers viewing parties? Did they know this guy's name?
Was he un drugs? Maybe he had to break up
with his girlfriend to break a glass there, Scott, that's

(31:26):
a great question. Is this guy being punished in any ways?
He being sent to the Who's gay? He's busy? Oh,
Edie business, and Eddie's chosen not to answer the question. Yeah,
Eddie sucks at his jug man. He's blind, Scott, Oh,
let begin. I know you called up because you're frustrated
as a patriot guy, and that's why you took shots

(31:47):
at Josh. He's got the Red Sox. Yeah, no, he
you see what High and Bloom did. He finally made
it happen and I got the Bruins and the Celtics.
I'll be on two parade floats this year, you know.
Oh sure, yeah? Now are you excited that Bill O'Brien
that's the target of Bill Belichick? Does that excite you? Blind? Scott,
that Bill could be coming back to the Patriots. Yeah,

(32:09):
I took Bill o. Brian's a good coach. He was
a pend He revived that state program where LaVar Arkin
went to You know what I mean, get down Alabama
sucks Alabama college football program if you ever heard of them.
Nobody wants to go there anymore. That's why he had
a little bit of a struggle there. But if he
comes to the Patriots, pots back Johns. What an amazing

(32:30):
