Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome. It's our number two. Parishing the words
we're parsing the words of the San Francisco General Manager
John Lynch, who says, the forty nine ers are happy
with trey Lance's progress. Are you in or out on this?
What are the chances the forty nine ers find a

(00:20):
trade partner for trey Lance. And how does brock Purty
perform in Act number two by the bay, we'll talk
about that and more right now. It is our number two,
and here it is a vote of confidence. Welcome, in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.

(00:43):
We are in the air everywhere, talk mates, as we
are in the audio jungle, coast to coast, border to
border and beyond all the mast and unfathomably powerful microphones
of f SR emanating live from Judgment. As Inclouded Judgment,

(01:06):
we are broadcasting live from the ti iraq dot com studios.
Ti iraq dot com. We'll help you get there and
unmatched election, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers ti iraq dot com the
way tire buying should be. And we'll get back to
the conversation coming up in a little bit regarding the

(01:31):
quarterback of the Ravens, at least for now, he's technically
a free agent. But Lamar Jackson, who has asked for
a trade, he would like to go somewhere else. But
our leave this hour does come from the NFL. That
is not about Lamar Jackson. A bee hive, bee hive
of activity, the NFL owners meetings and the value of

(01:54):
the sun and one of the top contenders in the NFC,
the junior varsity. The heavyweights are in the AFC, Kensas City, Cincinnati,
and Buffalo, the big three Musketeers in the NFL. But
over in the NFC, the team that gets to play
the AFC team in the Super Bowl. If you look

(02:14):
around and you're saying, well, Philadelphia was in last year,
but what about that team in Northern California? Well, yeah,
what about that team? The general manager John Lynch. I
used to work for John Lynch's father in San Diego.
John Lynch's father owned a bunch of radio stations in
San Diego, and I actually worked for him. Everyone John

(02:35):
Lynch was in college at Stanford, and there was this debate,
what do you think he's gonna make it in the NFL.
He end up having a Hall of Fame career, and
now he's like an old guy and he's hanging out
as a executive. So John Lynch, who used to work
in the Fox box that rocks giving out wisdom, knowledge
and all that on the television. So John Lynch made

(02:57):
some comments that were rather interesting when asked about the
quarterback conundrum in the Bay. If you have not heard
possibly nine with Jimmy Garoppolo persona non gratta, he's headed
off to Sin City to end up in the Raiders
injury tent. John Lynch says that brock Purdy has the

(03:17):
edge when it comes to starting in twenty twenty three.
Purty is no guarantee he'll be healthy by the time
the season comes around. But what about Tray Lance. That's
where the start it. Don't bear the lead, my man,
don't bear the lead. All right, We're not gonna bear
the lead. Calm down. So what about brock Purdy's backup,
Trey Lance. So Lynch said the forty nine is while

(03:39):
they're always open to trades, he says, we listen to
everything he said and listen to anything. But but Lynch said,
we like Tray on our team. We're very excited about
the way he's progressing, about his opportunity. Close quote. So
let us discuss because this is one of those names

(04:00):
he gets tossed around, bounced around the pinball machine of
trade rumor. So the question John Lynch saying, the forty
nine ers are happy with Trey Lance in his progress,
Are you in or are you out on that? So
I am out foul ball, I'm out on that. I've

(04:23):
got Panning Discount and Hollywood Reporter, and we'll combine all
of these three random things together and we are going
to make an amazing, amazing loaf of sour dough bread
right out of the oven, butter on top. All right,

(04:43):
So number one, we are rolling our eyes at these
latest comments. There is no way on God's green Earth
the forty nine ers are pleased with Trey Lance. That
is a I lie lie lie lie lie, lie, Lie,
lie lie lie lie. That's what that is. That's fertilizer,

(05:09):
says cam Over. Even the ghost of Vin Scully agrees
that that is a lie. Unbelievable. Every man, woman and
child knows that to be true. The Niners, let's go
back in the DeLorean and we're gonna go back to
the future. Remember what the forty nine is traded to
get Trey Lance. They gave away the family jewels. They

(05:31):
that's fine, I'm FM picks, guys, but if you trade
those picks away, you better get something of value in return.
The Niners gave away not one, not two, three first
round picks and a third round selection in that megamegamegamegatrade
to the Miami Dolphins for the right to select Trey
Lance with the number three overall pick way back in
the twenty twenty one draft. In return, they have gotten

(05:55):
oh wammy, no wammy, no wammy, no ammy, big money,
big money, big money. Stop. Why that's where they got
They go waymy, The forty Niners were panting, much like
their franchise origins. The forty nine ers panning for gold,
and they got fools gold. What is my evidence? My
evidence is the Pro Football Reference page of Trey Lance.

(06:16):
He has started four games in his career, He is
two and two. He has attempted one hundred and two
career passes. And is it true that Trey Lance has
suffered one more serious injury that he has career victories?
That is the gospel. He suffered a finger fracture, a

(06:37):
left knee sprain and a fractured ankle. Snap, crackle, pop.
He's a dandelion. It's not a compliment, very delicate, porcelain doll. Now,
page two. What are the chances, just between me, you
and you and whoever else is listening, what are the
chances the forty nine ers find a trade partner for

(07:00):
the aforementioned Trey Lance. So the Niners the goal here
is to find the greater fool cut their losses. There
is a sucker born every minute. We see that all
the time as sports fans watching players traded and changing
teams out and you just gotta find the sucker. The

(07:20):
Niners would have taken something last year. You know, Trey
Lance was supposed to start last year, remember got off
they lost of the Bears in the rainy day to
begin the year in Chicago there and then got hurt
a few games after that. But I believe they would
have even traded him last year, even though they were
they were kind of skittish on Lance. But now absolutely
they would. They would trade them. The problem as you'd

(07:43):
get pennies on the dollar. Trey Lance was originally worth
three first round picks and another draft pick. Now because
of not inflation deflation because people have actually seen him
play a little bit, his value has plummeted down, down, down,
down down. Still, I could absolutely you see a team
that's that desperate, that's hard up for a quarterback, like

(08:04):
the Washington Commanders or the Houston Texans. They say, the Vikings,
who don't have anyone they're grooming to replace Kirk Cousins,
to try to get this guy and a diamond in
the rough in the discount being shopping. And I said,
this guy at one point was worth three first round
picks on another pick, and we can get him for

(08:25):
conditional fifth round pick for the Niners, though it would be,
as we say, to cut your losses situational. And Brock Purdy,
who has the job for now, he has been everything
that Trey Lance was supposed to be, and he was
mister irrelevant and all that, and he's he's shown that

(08:45):
to this point. The NFL draft continues to be an
inexact science. The scouting world happens to be just clueless
most of the time, and they draft based on measurables
and not whether or not you can actually play. They
draft on raw athletic ability, not the other stuff. So
turning the picture. Now, final point, I want to continue

(09:07):
on with the theme the train of thought here regarding
the current quarterback from Iowa State. How does brock Purty
perform in act two? Now I realize we're talking about
this way before we get to the NFL season. But
it is a great mystery when you talk about brock Purty,
because his career started out like a scene from a movie,

(09:28):
a fairytale, last player pick, not expected to make it,
and then he turns the NFL upside down. So is
that a fling or is lad a long term romance?
That's the jury is still out on that. And much
like the movies, there is a warning label. As they

(09:49):
say in the Hollywood Reporter, you watch out for the
fake out opening. You know those movies you go to
that you watch the movies they get the quick start. Man,
You're like, this is great, this could be the greatest movie.
That opening is amazing, and then it turns out to
be a mirage. And in this case, the player is
not as good as they originally were. Extreme outcomes are

(10:10):
followed often by more moderate ones, as we often like
to say, and brock Purty blossomed surrounded by the forty
nine ers and the elite playmakers they have. Will the
sequel be the egual And I'm Benny brightside him this
assuming he is able to play, and that we are
wrong about his health, and I'm still skeptical about that.
But if he is healthy, we are betting on Brock,

(10:31):
betting on Brock purty and will be amazed if he
goes out there and starts the first game. He had
major surgery and Tommy John did not have the Tommy John.
But typically when you avoid it, you only temporarily avoid it.
Eventually you end up having it. But watch out for
the booby prize for the forty niners. There is a scenario.

(10:52):
It is a dimension in time. We're the forty nine ers,
trade away tray lance, they go with Purdy, he gets hurt,
and then you find yourself rolling out the rotting carcass
of Sam Darnold as your quarterback. That is a dimension
in time. That is a possibility. All right, It is

(11:12):
the Ben Mallers shout as we continue on and we'll
take your calls. I see some interesting cats, some new
callers on there and mixing new and old guys on
the phones. There some good calls. Maybe good. I don't know.
We've got some newbies. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox is the number eight seven seven nine nine six

(11:32):
sixty three six nine. And you might want to hire
another lawyer, or you did hire another lawyer a high
profile legal case and one of the bigger names in
my business is spending a little more money on legal representation.

(11:53):
We'll try to get to the bottom of that. We'll explain.
We'll get to it, and not feeling the love or
awkward love go there as well. We'll get to it
all and your calls and comments as well, and we'll
do it next. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio.

(12:15):
I can I have your attention please, Well, the real
Ben Mallard please stand up. You all act like you
never heard sports radio before. Well you ain't, at least
not like this. That for sure. Any clown can tell
you who won the game and give you the score.
But Big Ben his boys give you so much. It's
cooking entertainment and the manner monologs. This ain't the minor league.

(12:37):
Ben only runs with the big dogs. He's king of
the hill, ain't number one, top of the heap. Just
what the doctor wanted if you can't sleep. All the
others try to sound like Ben and act like Ben
and talk like Den, but it just man. Big Ben
is more than t o'clock in the UK. He's the
undisputed champ and I don't care what you say. He's
then Melly. Yes, he's the real Maller. On the other
Ben you can bear. One percenter studies showed the more
than two hundred and forty four million American adults listen

(12:59):
to the radio each month, but only one percent actually
contribute content. You can join that small fraternity. If p
one's on the Ben Mallard Show, it's painless and simple.
Just follow your host on Twitter. He's at Ben Mallard
and you can tweet that and follow our executive producer.
He is manning the phones, but he's more than just
a call screener. He's the liar, liar and the menace
of the Fox Sports Radio network. It's he Coop de Luke,

(13:20):
Justin Cooper, and he's at you, h bronco fan. I
would add four inches and a lot on thetirack dot
com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maloology and dot
Mike Face. Can I buy you a drink? I don't know,
let me think, drug Tester writes, and he says, I'm
sure the forty nine ers will find a trade partner.
Just slip a few postagens in Jim Mersay's lunch and

(13:44):
the deal will be done before happy hours. Over the bench,
just Josh from the Natty Rights, and he says, anytime
you can mention my favorite game show from my youth,
hosted by the Great Peter to market, you get five
thousand dollars in a free spin. Ben spot On with
your take here. If you are putting all your eggs

(14:05):
in the tray lance basket, you're just pressing your luck.
See what you did there. Roscoe of the Parrot is
locked and loaded here, and he says, Roscoe of the
Parrot demands a food game match with Marcel in Brooklyn
and Roscoe the Parrot said, Ben is afraid of little Roscoe.

(14:28):
Marcel is a coward. According to Roscoe of the Parrot,
Blind Scott is willing to put up one dollar versus Marcel.
He says, all right, thank you for that, our friend,
David from Winterpark, Florida, drove all the way from Winterpark,
Florida the Boston for a Mallard meet and greet several
years ago and we hung out. Boy, what a wonderful

(14:49):
night that was all you. Who else do we have?
Let see page down, page down. No Stridinas, a unapologetic
Seahawk lapdog, says it's over for the forty Niners. Put
your muddy on the Seahawks. Rob says, wait a minute,
Mallor would cost the Niners the same amount in the
cap space to trade lance Or to keep him on

(15:12):
the roster, plus going through three quarterbacks last year, they
need all the arms they can find, only if a
guy can play. Let's go to the phones and we'll
start out in the Bay Area. Man who said that
he was only gonna make one more phone call. That
was last week, But he's back Tony in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, welcome,

(15:33):
How are you doing? Ben? I got breaking news If
you don't mind breaking news, are we ready for that? Rebro?
This is big breaking news from Tony by the Bay.
Here we go big news here on Fox Sports. Ready,
nobody else has it? Breaking news from Fox Sports. Okay,
I've officially named my junk, Big Ben, because when I

(15:54):
hear Regina say, I miss you, Ben Ben, I could
get a half chub your thoughts. Yeah, I think that's
something you could have kept yourself. I don't know that,
I need that. I don't know I need to know that.
But it's breaking news. I'm confused. Well, it's not breaking news. No, no,
it's not it's not breaking news. It's not news. It's
it's it's in your head. It's it's something. Why didnt

(16:15):
you name it? Why didn't you name it? Cooper Loop?
She likes Cooper Loop. She calls him Coopy Coopy. She
goes like that Coopy Coopy. Yeah, I don't know. I
don't think it has a momentum. I need you know
what I mean. Well, there's no such thing as momentum,
as you know. And you're doing that to offend me.
It's a bad job by Utny. Oh you're making accusations now. Uh,

(16:35):
I'm stating a fact. Any fact. That was so. I
thought you said you were done calling the show, and
now you're back. You gave us this crazy story about
a nightmare. You called again, and and what do you
think of Robbie the Mariner fan. Robbie the Mariner fan
fixed here a psycho? Really? Yeah? Why because you're calls? Yeah?

(16:56):
I have what do you want another call? I can
give you a nice call right now if you like, well,
you're doing a call. You're on the air right now, Tony,
this is actually happening. You're talking. No, this this is recorded.
I mean I can give you a live, live feedback.
All right, let's go. All right, let's go. Let's try that.
Here we go, let's go to Let's go to Tony
in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, welcome, Hey Ben. Would

(17:20):
you like to hear how I picked my favorite sports team? Yes?
We did it involve a voodoo doll? No? No, not
at all. Okay, So I'm pretty sure you're familiar with
the movie and Touchables with Sean Connery and yes, all right,
so you saw the movie and you decided because of that,
you're going to pick your favorite teams. Is that well?

(17:43):
So the movie was based on nineteen twenty Chicago al Capone,
and uh, I like that. When I was a youngster,
there was a scene, I don't know if you remember,
where the girl grabs a briefcase and she said, mister,
mister you forgot your briefcase and then the whole building
blows up. So when it was time to pick a team,
I went with the Chicago Barrys based on pretty much

(18:05):
that your thoughts. I like that, you want my thoughts
on everything. That's very kind of you too. You're thinking
about me, Tony. We're friends, mean you unlike Coop, who's
rude to you, and Eddie and Roberto. I me and
you were friends. Yeah, you know it. Coop didn't even
ask me what I wanted. He just took my call.
I mean, what kind of crap is that? How rude
is that? It's very rude of Coop to do that,

(18:26):
And I think you should remember that that's actually a compliment.
That means you've passed the point where it matters what
you're going to talk about. You're just going to get
on air. O, thank you, Coop. I appreciate that. No, no, no,
he's just saying that. He doesn't really mean that off.
That's exactly what it is. If I don't ask you
what do you want to talk about? It means it
doesn't matter. Oh, it doesn't matter what you talk about?

(18:48):
Come on, this is it matters. It matters the quality
of the show matter all right, I gotta go, Tony,
but thank you. It's been yes. So when Holler and
James calls it, when I screened his call, what are
you gonna talk about? You? Yeah, you got a lot.
Holler and James in on the top. You got to
do that. Let's go to Psacho swamp Billy in the
Sunshine State. A new caller. We'd like to learn all

(19:08):
the affiliates down the line. A new caller, be ready
for Sacho swamp Belly, Hello Belly, good morning over here.
Maybe not out there yet, I can't remember the math.
I'm sitting here with my sweet little dog. She's a
she's a Halina paro Sonoran halina paro. Some people call

(19:34):
them American pit bull terriers. I don't like to use
those words anyway. It's offensive language when you call it
it is. I mean, I'm a pit Bulls are very
sensitive about vinch. So she han't go int sguise, but
I'm offering my services to you. I've lived in the
Bay Area and in New York City, Tennessee, in Florida,

(19:58):
so I could translate maybe or sir scratch off, you know.
When he's talking to Roberto, I don't think has much
patience for him. Yeah, Roberto hates or scratch out. That's
one of the reasons Sir scratch Off doesn't call very much.
It is because Roberto just destroys him every time he calls. Yeah. Well,
I mean Roberto told you he was calling from the

(20:19):
Black Rock, Arkansas the other day. He was calling from
Black Oak, Arkansas like Jim Dandy to the rescue. Scratch Off, Yeah,
sir scratch Yeah, Well, I mean enough about him and
Holler and James. I love that guy. I've lived in
a group home, I've lived with gangsters. But if you
got forty six pills a day, they're not going to
get rid of you. He doesn't need to be scared

(20:41):
to be staying in a closet. I mean, come home. Yeah,
but they don't like when he calls in late at night.
He's very loud. And that's how I got the nickname
Holler and James. Oh yeah yeah, they like to sleep.
Yeah yeah, yeah, they must be heroin addicts. Okay, that
don't think quiet anyway. Look you so, why have you
lived all over the place? Were you running from the
law here? What are you doing that? I am now?

(21:01):
I am now That's why I can call you because
I've got a pseudonym like nom de plume. But I've
been in several places. I mean, I don't want to
bring up bad karma. But I was in Denver the
night a certain radio host was murdered. But I had
nothing to do that. I was in a Mexican restaurant
named Senior Peppis. But anybody to attended for me? Now

(21:24):
what's that? I don't know what that was. I have
who idea iland bird man. I didn't really want to
bring it up. Man, he might search scratch up. I
don't put ideas in this head. I don't want to
do that. But how many how many crimes do you
think you've committed, Billy over the years? What do you mean? Oh,
I used to commit a felony every day when I
carried a gun. I go to the post office with
it every day. But you know, there's suposed to be

(21:44):
dangerous places now now the schools are, you know, But
I feel comfortable in post offices now because all the
you know, there's a lot of guys as follow as
that don't work for them anymore. You know, they're doing
other things. Now, Hey, I want to talk a little
bit about mister Jones out there. You are right, he
has owed three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars from

(22:05):
the mother of this lady. But the daughter is owed
an interest in the Cowboys and everything Jones owned. So
Stephen Jones is probably playing for the lawyer. That's my
hot take. That is a hot take, Psycho swamp Billy,
what an amazing debut. I must move on though. There
he goes. Hot take. Man, I see potential cat shot.

(22:28):
Gotta get more into the dark darkness of it all,
some of the stuff he's done in the past. But
Shot could be the rookie of the year. We're looking
for the new rookie class, the rookie class for the
twenty twenty four Benny's celebrating twenty twenty three everyone. Brett
Farve announced he's suing a bunch of media people. Yeah,

(22:49):
so we've learned that Pat McAfee, a YouTuber who's getting
sued by Brett farb has just lawyered up some more
in According to a new report making the rounds, McAfee
has added not one but two new trial lawyers from
a law firm in Pittsburgh that in addition McAfee already

(23:13):
has three other lawyers from a different law firm, so
that's five lawyers. Five lawyers that Pat McAfee, as Brett
Farve has six lawyers, so there are eleven lawyers that
are getting paid because Brett Farve file the lawsuit against
Pat McAfee and Shannon Sharpe eleven. It takes eleven lawyers

(23:39):
to go through that case. Wousers be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All right, this is Jay Glazer.
And you may know me for the world of football
or fighting or even shows like HBO's Ballers. Well you
don't know is for my entire life. I have lived
in something or to his, the gray depression, anxiety. So

(24:02):
now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable, a
mental health podcast with Jay Glazer where each week, well
we talk about mental health. I hope to describe it,
give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Remember that story we had about the KANSASI Chiefs fan

(24:23):
who was dressed up in that wolf suit, and he
was going to games and then he was like robbing banks,
robbing banks on the way to pay for the tickets
and gambling. All right, yeah, well guess what what's that, Eddie.
He's on the loose. The wolf is on the loose.
He was released on bond earlier and he had an
ankle monitor. Yeah, well he took it off. I can't

(24:45):
believe he would cut that off. It's illegal to do that.
Get off. He's now in parts unknown. He's on the run.
A million dollar bond warrant issued after he did not
appear in court in Tulsa County. I say, they don't
even bob looking for him. Just wait till the next
Chief's home game. You'll find that he knows the guy right, Yeah,
you know, to show up. I mean he'll probably be like,

(25:07):
you know what, I better not wear the wolf suit.
I'll wear something else. But yeah, that that person, I
think you might want to check them out, you know. Well, yeah,
it's tough because they do use that facial recognition software
at a lot of the stadium, not all of them,
but a lot of the stadium. So and they're also
I know what the old sofa there. They do not
let you wear masks. I'm sure for that specific reason.

(25:29):
A lot of raider fans, sorry, we're upset about that
because they couldn't wear their you know, their their outfits.
To walk in you have to take the mask off. Yeah,
inside you can do it, I think so yeah. I
think once you're in, you're okay. So as long as
they don't notice it's the guy as he walks through security,
then he'll be be all right. But I would think
every Chiefs game they'll put out a bulletin. You got
keep an eye off of this this guy. Does he

(25:51):
go back to robbing banks? Now? Like, what's his move?
Does he have money saved me at this point? Why not? Right,
he's already you know, sure, it's already been caught. There
you go, good luck? All right, it is the Ben

As we continue on, and we are going to have
Mallard of the third degree. We'll get to that. The
awkward love story. Andy Reid was asked at the NFL

(30:17):
owners meetings about Jordan Love and had no idea. It
was blindside who Jordan Love. It was made for an awkward,
awkward moment considering that Jordan Love did play against the
Chiefs in the game, but Andy was not prepared for
a Jordan Love question time. Now for the Insta trivia.
Here it is outfielder Jordan Walker will be twenty years

(30:41):
old three hundred twelve days on opening Day and Blank
is the only cardinal since nineteen hundred that has made
his MLA MLB debut on opening Day at a younger age.
In this ky, this guy Jordan Walker of the Saint
Louis Cardinals, who's on the team this year. Again, Blank

(31:01):
the only cardinal since nineteen hundred that has made his
MLBA debut on opening Day at a younger age. That's
the Insta trivia. The answer and Mallard of the third degree. Next.

for you, Mallardy third degree. But here's the Insta trivia.
The baseball season getting in a couple of days. Here,
gotta get through today and then before you know it,

(32:05):
one more day after that, boom play they'll play real
baseball games. So here we go. Put me in coach.
I'm ready to play. I think I can play center field.
So the outfielder slash third baseman, Jordan Walker is his name.
He's gonna be twenty years old, three hundred twelve days
on opening Days a player for Saint Louis. Blank is

(32:25):
the only Cardinal player since nineteen hundred that has made
his MLBAY debut on opening day at a younger age,
on opening day at a younger age. That is the question.
What is the answer? The Cowboy Killer says, Bennett has
to be pac Man. Who else do we have? Jason
Rocky Mountain, Virginia says the Flamethrower carry Wood Jeff and Tulsa,

(32:49):
Oklahoma says the Wizard of Oz Ozzie Smith, the great
former podres of our time, page down, page down, can't
read that on the air for says it's Lebron James
wearing sunglasses. Indoors that that is the answer. Dane Org
from the Blue Jays one of the Organ Brothers. No,

(33:09):
you don't Garth Garth Org right and Dane and Garth
Royals and Blue Jays eighty five League Championship Series. Eddie?
Is that right? Think? So? Anyway? What else do we have?
Where old guys doing? Old guy radio Doctor Britt Baker
DMD from Rob in Vegas, Fred Rogers from alf the Alien,

(33:30):
Old Piner, Ken Obrick Fell from Miguel on Fire. That's
his answer. The Eddie Garcia Burner account says the Instant
Tribute answer is Max read that that is the answer.
Page down, page down. Can't read that. Cardinal Roger Mahoney
from Mason and Huntington Beach. I don't remember what his

(33:52):
batting average was. The midget Eddie Goodell from Rob the
Goatman Ena slaughter guests by mister Clown and he says,
for the slaughtering of calls tonight is his answer? Do
you have an answer? Eddie is not Chuck Norris guess
by the Late Night gear Grinder. Yes, I do have it. Okay,
it's a former Fresno State Bulldog and Saint Louis Cardinal

(34:14):
Terry Pendleton. Terry Pendleton is that correct? No, it is
not Willie McGee. It is not Vince Coleman either. The
It is also not Monty Montezuma, the Aztecs mascot from
Wo Mexican. The correct answer. The last cardinal and the
only cardinal younger than this guy Jordan Walker to make
his debut on opening day for the Cardinals was Steve Carlton,

(34:37):
way back in nineteen sixty five, twenty years old and
one hundred and eleven days. Steve Carlton would go on
and be an amazing pitcher and remember him mostly as
a Philly, but here we go it's maller. How about that?
To the third degree, this is one big ban gets

(34:58):
great coop Daaluton Todd bulls that at the owners meeting
this past weekend that Tampa Bay can still be great
even without the aura of Tom Brady ben while there
still moves to be made. What do you think the
ceiling is for the Bucks next season? Well, you gotta
remember with all these coaches, they are paid to be optimistic.
That is their job. It goes with the territory. If

(35:19):
you're not selling optimism in March, you are selling insurance
by September, so you have to sell optimism by the gallon.
So take it with a grand assault. But the Buccaneers
are looking like a six to eight win team under
five hundred. Yet again, I don't think they'll be much
worse than that. But you can bring back the creamsicles.

(35:41):
The Succaneers bring all those terms back, they would be
worse Tampa Bay. But they're in the right division. Location,
location location. If you look at the NFC South, you
get to play the Falcons, Panthers and Saints twice, so
the Falcons don't have accord back the Panthers are going
to draft a quarterback to be named later. The Saints

(36:04):
don't have a quarterback because they have Derek Carr and
so those are the sewer mates in a wretched division.
So you should be able to win three or four
games in the division, so that gets you to three
or four wins. Outside the division, you should win at
least two or three games, so that gets you about
seven wins, all right. Next, Mike Tomlin also spoke with
the media and talked about how excited he is for

(36:25):
Kenny Pickett's future. Ben, do you think this guy is
gonna be the Steelers quarterback for years to come? Well,
he'll be the quarterback as long as the rookie contract
is going on. The jury is still out on Kenny Pickett.
And just like we talked about with Todd Bowls, Mike Tomlin,
who's mostly a straight shooter, has to sell optimism and
Kenny Pickett, the great on picket right now is incomplete

(36:46):
based on his rookie season. The Steelers they're always a
five hundred or better team with Mike Tomlin. They were
desperately trying to get to that mark last year, to
stay above that mark, but that's the standard you look
in that division, the Bengals are clearly better than them.
The Browns and Ravens are up in the air. But

(37:07):
Kenny Pickett, he'll be there until he shows something or
until his rookie contracts up next. It was reported Sunday
that despite the mavericks recent struggles on the court, Kyrie
Irving still has the support of his Dallas teammates, Ben
are you buying this bull crap? No? No, See, there's
going to be a human sacrifice by Mark Cuban. Either
it's Kyrie Irving or it's Jason Kidd. And it's certainly

(37:31):
leaning based on the fact number one, it is a
result based business, and the Mavericks results are garbage since
the Luca don Chick Kyrie Irving combo heading into play
last night, since their debut, the Mavericks they did win
last night, but they have dropped from fourth to eleventh
in the Western Conference standings. And they started their first

(37:52):
eighteen games together five and thirteen. That was two seventy
eight basketball with those two guys playing together. I'm not
a math guy, but that sucks. And Kyrie Irving, this
is just a stopover. He's going to go somewhere else.
And I'm not buying. I'm not buying the Maverick support Kyrie.
They support him as long until the season ends, and

(38:12):
then they'll go somewhere else. All right there, it is
Mallard to the third degree. How did we doubt can pass?
That is a whut? Put it on the park. I'm
the all time wins gig. I've won this game more
than anybody. Mallard, I've won Mallard to the third degree
more than anybody. It's amazing.
