Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Fall, hour four of
our radio show, Hanging Out with You and big news,
Big news from Buffalo. What does josh Allen becoming the
face of the Madden video game really mean? Can Josh
(00:24):
Allen avoid the Madden Curse? Can he beat the dreaded
Madden Curse? And as an added bonus here we'll go
over to Nashville where DeAndre Hopkins is visiting the Titans
this weekend. Could you see this happening with DeAndre hopping
into a Tennessee uniform. We'll talk about that as well.
(00:45):
Right now here, it is our number four, the poster
boy of the NFL. Welcome, in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Maddlin Show. We are in the
air everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we are in the center
(01:07):
ring coast to coast, border the water and beyond all
the mast and ear splittingly powerful microphones of FSR amminating
live from the circle, the on deck Circle. We are
broadcasting live from the ti raq dot com studios. Tyre

fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tire iraq dot com the way tire
buying should be. And our lead this hour coming from
the world of marketing, the marketing world that we will
have a brief update on a franchise relocation. And we
(01:54):
can't tell you the Denver Nuggets did win game number
three of the NBA FIS. They did not trail in
the second half. And this is going to blow you away.
The Denver Nuggets forgot about the three point shot in
the second half. I think they took five three point
shots in the second half. They went inside and peppered
the Miami Heat and found the weakness, the weak spot
(02:17):
in the Miami Heat defense and just feasted on them.
Anyway more than that later, But our lead does come
from the big announcement. It is in the NFL unveiling
the cover athlete for the new version of Madden Football. Now,
if somehow you have been living down by the river
(02:39):
without interweb and with outside media communication, you may not
know what we know, and that is Josh Allen, we
learned will be the cover of the Madden NFL twenty
four franchise video game. He becomes the first member of
the Bill to ever ever have the cover. So how
(03:05):
is that possible. The Madden game has been around since
the nineties, but the Madden game used to just have
John Madden on it back in those days when the
Bills had Jim Kelly and Andre Reid and Thurman Thomas
and those great teams in Buffalo. So anyway, Josh Allen
following in the footsteps of John Madden. He appeared on
the cover after he died. That was in December of
(03:29):
twenty twenty one. So Josh Allen was very appreciative. He
said it was his childhood dream come true to grace
the cover of the game. So let us discuss the
question what does Josh Allen becoming the face of the
Madden video game really mean? What does it really mean?
(03:52):
That is the question. What is the answer? I've got
puffy sticker prepackaged and Twaying as an added bonus, so
to kick off, this is a big deal. I think
this is a big deal for Josh Allen. How can
you not think it's a big deal. It's big for
your resume. Does this help the Buffalo Bills get closer
(04:15):
to winning a Lombardi No, but the NFL has handed
Josh Allen the baton. Here you go, here's the baton.
Josh Allen in that respect is a made man. The
cover boy of the Madden Game is the highest honor
you can get from the NFL's marketing arm. And make
(04:37):
no mistake, this was not decided by EA. This was
a decision by the NFL. They put together a blue
ribbon panel of marketing people. The NFL hand selects the
athlete to represent the league because it's all about the youth,
No ifs ands or buts about it. This is a
nice puffy sticker that Josh Allen can put on his helmet.
(05:01):
It is his bar mitzvah if you will. He's now
a man. Despite the quality of the Madden Game being ripped.
Every year people trash the Madden Game. They sell a
gazillion copies of the Madden Game, and everyone rips it.
It's a huge platform for the league. We all know
that every man, woman and child as watered down as
(05:24):
it is by the corporate muckety MUCKs, the bureaucracy and
everyone trying to appease everyone else because of the industrial
complex of football. Now, hey, we're from the old country
and it'll never ever get to the point it was early.
I think it was early nineties Madden. We had this
ambulance and it was all it was so good, so guy.
(05:48):
A player would get injured in the game and the
game would pause. An ambulance would come driving recklessly like
the ambulance driver was drunk, would plow on to the
field like a clown car at a circus and end
up mowing down half of the players on the field.
Would then stop for about a second and then drive
(06:11):
off the field because they often wouldn't even take the
player that was hurt, suppose in the game. But that
ended years ago. I think it ended over twenty years
ago because the NFL big wigs put the kebosh on
it because it was very offensive and making light of
injuries from the NFL is not allowed fun you kind
of do that. You can't poke fun at things like that.
(06:32):
No place for that in polite society. It's for voting. Now. Furthermore,
can Josh Allen beat the dreaded Madden curse? Can he? Yes?
Will he? No chance? No chance? Now? What is my evidence?
(06:55):
His Pro Football Reference page. It is pre ordained in
injuries are a fact of life in that profession. One
hundred percent injury rate in the league every player. Everyone's
going to have an injury at some point during the season,
the old war of attrition. The difference, though, is that
(07:16):
Josh Allen already has a track record. He has already
been the guy. Even though he's never been on the
Madden Game the cover, he has consistently found ways to
get manga. Last year, he suffered a torn elbow in
Week nine. He didn't miss a start, but he was
not the same. He had a turf toe problem in
twenty twenty one. He also had concussions over the last
(07:39):
couple years, elbow sprains, There's a bunch of other injuries
here that are listed on his injury chart. And the
reason that is is because it's a football and he
plays like a human canniball and mow the Bills quarterback
down and chances are you'll be facing the backup right
He's now He's been branded, though. Here's the problem. Josh
(08:01):
Allen has been branded with the hex, the Madden Hex.
It is a prepackaged excuse for anything negative that happens
from this point forward to Josh Allen. So let's just say, imagine,
if you will, Josh Allen is out shopping for tomatoes
(08:25):
at a pigly wiggly and he trips because they're washing
the floor and he slips on Aisle seven trying to
get the tomatoes and he hurts his ankle, and that
is the Madden chinks or hypothetically, Alan goes out plays
the Patriots throws a couple of interceptions against New England.
(08:49):
Not his fault, well, fuzzy fuzzy dice, right Madden game,
that's the blame but parting shot, turning the page quickly.
Unemployed wide receiver de Andre Hopkins, we have learned, is
going to visit the Tennessee Titans this weekend and started
(09:10):
out as a rumor, but Mike Vrabel confirmed it, So
it's gonna happen. And that is the first nibble, nibble nibble,
the first bite that Hopkins has gotten since he was
fired by the Arizona Cardinals. So let's chat about this now.
DeAndre Hopkins visiting the Titans this weekend? Could you see
(09:32):
Hopkins signing with Tennessee this weekend? So the answer is yes.
I'm going to assume the position that Hopkins is not
going to Nashville for the hot chicken sandwiches which you
can now get. Aren't those Nashville Hot chicken sandwiches. Everywhere
in the United States. Everywhere I've gone, there's a hot
chicken sandwich with anyway, Nashville hot chicken. Yeah, very spicy.
(09:56):
Those things are all over the place. But Hopkins has
been sitting out. How everyone's sitting out because it's the offseason.
But he is from South Carolina. I know that's not Tennessee,
but he's got that Southern playing and his career at
one point was hotter than a bull of grits. Right
now not so much. But we bet he shows up
(10:19):
this weekend. We're in cowboy boots, in a bolo tie
and ready to dance the weekend away at the Honky Talk,
just have a grand old time. And the reason this
is something that the Jimmy could happen is because Tennessee
is the first team he's visiting. You always give the
first team the advantage. There's also nepotism, and you've got
that the fact that Hopkins wants the money. He's not
(10:41):
willing to take a discount. We are told so other
forget about Kansas City and Buffalo if he's not willing
to take a discount, because they're like, we don't really
need you, and these other teams need him. But Rabel
was Mike Rabel was part of the Texans coaching staff
up until twenty seventeen, when Hopkins was on the team.
The offensive coordinator for the Titans, was also part of
(11:01):
the Houston coaching staff. So the other question is what
does this flirtation tell us about the Titans mindset? All right,
this is this is good. This is a dad, give
it what it is a confessional? Okay, let me let
me make my elevator pitch. Why this is confessional because
the front office in Nashville, by bringing in DeAndre Hopkins,
(11:24):
is admitting they royally screwed up by not paying and
then trading AJ Brown to the Birds. And this is
an admission. This is an admission that they screwed up.
The guys they brought in were bums, the guys a bomb,
the guys they brought in. Therefore, the Titans are looking
(11:47):
at and by NFL standards and aging DeAndre Hopkins past
the age of thirty to fill the shoes of AJ Brown.
And this is a bit of a desperation move because
if Tennessee sideways this year, they are one of the
teams that We've circled to have a massive bonfire at
(12:07):
the team facility and burn Baby burn and Ryan Tannehill
will be gone, and Derek Henry will be gone. And
that guy in the back who's pretty good, we don't
know his name, he'll be gone, and Mike Rable will
be gone. It'll be just one punch to the stomach
after another. So keep an eye on that. It is
(12:28):
the Ben Mahlor Show as we roll on through the
wee hours of the morning. If you would like to
be part, you can join us here at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
nine six six three sixty nine. Some new developments on
the athletics relocation. They want to go to Vegas. It's
(12:51):
not going so well for the athletics. Good news if
you want to see the a's stay in Oakland, although
not great good but not great news. Also, Eddie will
have pucked the world not only the Stanley Cup Final,
but we also have trade action yo, a lot of trades. Well,
one big trade I saw in the NHL. So the
Hot Stove League not waiting until the Stanley Cup Final
(13:13):
is over. We'll get to that. We'll take your calls
again eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox the Number
and we will do it next.

So they had a meeting late into the night on
Wednesday in Nevada and special session regarding the relocation of
(14:23):
the Athletics to Las Vegas to get the money, the
money grabbed by Major League Baseball. Of course, they want
a public funded stadium, even though Vegas, because of the gambling,
does not need public money, but they want the Major
League Baseball mandates it. They need to steal public money,
the taxpayer money to build these stadiums. It's corporate welfare.
(14:45):
They live on that. It's the business model major League Baseball.
That's snake Rob Manford. So anyway, with that said, I'm
getting reports here that have trickled out in the overnight
and it did not go well. Politicians in the have
pushed back against Major League Baseball. They some of them.
(15:05):
Here's here's an example of some of what I'm talking about.
One one state senator Nevada said, why would we give
the Athletics thirty six million dollars per year for the
next five years for a taxpayer funded stadium at the
same time that the governor has vetoted fund vetoed funding
for summer school, a bill to support children's mental health,
(15:28):
a bill requiring paid family leave, and also other crap.
They said, uh, and then they went on Also, I said,
somebody explained to me why we should provide hundreds of
millions of dollars for a billionaire team to come to Vegas.
And they talked about the property value of that real estate,
which is insane, right in the middle of the strip
(15:50):
where the Tropicano Hotel is. And they won a one
point five billion dollar stadium and they were talking about
that and that we sold. Dave caval the president of
the A's, was there speaking, but it was very contentious.
Uh and they they did not vote, and uh so
(16:11):
we'll see what what happens, and the the A's likely
will just move on to the next city until they
find some sucker politicians, which are not hard to find.
They're around every corner, sucker politicians who give money over
to sports teams. That's kind of how that that show
game works. So we'll keep an eye on that. Let's
(16:34):
go to the phones and we'll say hello too, Jed
who fled? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
You had never asked me who I think the three
worst colleges? And I don't know who start, but his
nick and neck for angry Bill and the astrologist lady,
Oh my god, dude for several reasons. They are terrible.
They're terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And you sound very calm right now. You sound very
mellow jed, You're okay. Everything okay, You're not You're not
talking at a high rate of speed. You sound mellow man.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I'm trying to. I'm trying to like counteract like I usual,
get on there and you know, like meet me, get
on here, like road running, know what I'm saying, Like
I but I could. I think I could actually run
out over the ledge a lot of the cavity, but
I had the vapien. I had the vap in numerous times.
You know what I'm saying. I may have I may
have burned my burned this actual cartridge where he doesn't
taste good anymore. But I'm mellow on there, like what's
(17:28):
come along right on the This is where you say
fantastic boys? That was nice?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Like I like I like whenever he goes go, I'm
saying like it's d at bostrophe. Oh you don't see
that much in English. If you just let me talk
on there, there's no doubt about it. But then I
keep all the piece of mails that I got whenever
I was Detroit, when I was you know, I don't
say play. I say I was fast and loose. That
was on the roster, and I got mail in in
(17:59):
my you know what it's saying in the boxes where
you get it, you know, saying ask him that I
want to be part of the massive lawsuit while de
Troy because one year, you know, saying he had the number.
I was this four string quarterback. Unfortunately he was African American.
He had my number of everything he was less saying
It's like, well, I don't think I can. I don't
think I can. Really, I don't think I could pretend
that was me speaking of money.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We all know the year I back alog and listening
to some of the shows and Mountain Out of the
Money had just something to do with JFK's birthday. And
you lightly suggested the CIA might have had something to
do with it. We all know that CIA definitely had
something to do with it. They'd been hiding the you know,
the communications about Oswald for eons. They definitely knew who was.
They probably send him over to Russia in a fake
(18:41):
you know, like oh fake, you know what's fake?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Do man?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
This work?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
For what?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I can't think of it? Whenever you leave the country,
and he said, well, this is where it's where there.
But when the CIA is involved in football, dude, you
know they're gonna you know, they're gonna work for Miami
teams of glamour stuff like that and this nil stuff
because they don't want to imagine like a strong RHNDA
sanctist you know, capital and Florida State rock and rolling.
They don't want that.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
We're talking about you. Your conspiracy is that this is
gonna the n i L deals will will be against power.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
You know, they wanted domestic they don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Okay, So the c i A is worried about who's
gonna win the Rose Bowl or the Sugar Bowl or
you know, any of these bulls.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
The c i A is definitely following their shark and
not doing anything domestically at all. And if you can,
if you can take the leap from there, definitely doing
something domestic. I don't have to do with the football.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Man, that's a whole different can of worms there, which
we can certainly we're.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Talking about football being non agriculture, are you high, Yes, let's.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Talk about pork, pork, and we'll talk about beans in futures.

Best pressing we could possibly have. However, I do notice
that the other guy's insurance company is still owing me
about thirty grand in the rentals. And you know there's that.
That's that's what you know. That's why lawyers make a
lot of money. I guess.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Well that's the the golden rule, though, as you the
most not not of course the ones that we do commercials,
but a lot of insurance companies. Uh, they want you

Speaker 1 (27:57):
He coached mc Ducks years.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
He did coach the Duck years and won won a
Cup with the Red Wings as well in twenty eight
but he does come with some baggage. Was accused by
a lot of players of being emotionally and verbally abusive.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
He's a meaning.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Younger guys can't handle that, Eddie.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Though I think he did some stupid stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The Speaking of the Ducks, they did hire Greg Cronin
as their next head coach.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
He's been a career minor league coach.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
First guys, sixty years old. He's getting It is like
a Disney movie, Eddie.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Yeah he is.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
He's good. It's it's like a Disney movie.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Well, he takes over the worst team in the NHL
last year. They were twenty three, forty seven and twelve.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
That's tell you what has about.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
That coaching vacancy's still to be filled. Calgary and the
New York Rangers. Montreal Canadians agree to terms with their
young star Cole Kawfield eight year extension worth seven point
eight five million per year is eighty four points in
one hundred and twenty three Crew games.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
He's twenty two years old.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Three team trade involved in the Kings, Flyers and Blue
Jackets LA sending goalie Cal Peterson Devince Makeshawn Walker a
prospect and a second round pick at Philadelphia Flyers. Said
defenseman Ivan Provo off to the Kings, who then flipped
him to the Blue Jackets. Flyers also get first and
second round picks from Columbus in twenty twenty three. The
Kings then freed up cap space to sign defenseman Vladislav Gabercov.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Two years the Kings.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
The Kings won the trade.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
So this is why I think, this is why they
fired their TV guys so they could afford to give
this guy the cash.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Why I don't think so money some different places.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Future Hall of Famer and former MVP Patrick Kinge gonna
be out four to six months undergoing hip resurfacing surgery.
Thirty four year old to be unrestricted free agent. He
might do the Odell Beckham and kind of wait and
see how the season goes before.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Who's going to sign on with for next year.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And the NHL announced two stadium series games, not the
Outdoor Winner Classic on January first, but these are two
other outdoor games. They're both at MetLife Stadium in New
Jersey on consecutive days. Flyers versus the Devils February seventeenth,
Rangers versus the Islanders February eighteenth.
Speaker 1 (29:55):

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah. I think I have to watch the grass grow
in my backyard. I think is what I have playing
on Friday.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I think that's fair.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, all right, hold hold on, here we go. Let's
get to it. Three stories. Figure out which of the
three is not true, separating fiction from fact. Aaron Judge
may have hit the il as a result of running
into the Dodger bullpen gate, but that doesn't mean the
Yankees aren't going to celebrate the impressive catch during a
(34:35):
home game later this year in August. The first fifteen
thousand fans in the Bronx are going to receive a
commemorative bobblehead of Judge running into the gate there at
Dodger Stadium to make the catch. I'm sure they're being
made right now in China as we speak. Story number two.
(34:56):
He's him. Jimmy Butler is getting a lot of atten
for leading the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals again,
and now it seems he's looking to cash in. Butler
has file the trademark Jimmy Buckets. He intends to use
the name as a brand for clothing and beverages like
coffee and beer. I'd like some hemmy buckets coffee to
(35:20):
go please. And story number three, the participation sport is
announced earlier this week that an organization in Sweden named
the Swedish Sex Federation SSF has declared they've decided that
sex is a sport. See we're all athletes if we
(35:41):
partake in that, and will host the first ever European
Sex Championship. Now, the Swedish government is not supporting this,
but the Swedish Sex Federation is planning this event. It
will last six weeks and participants will engage in various
activities as you might imagine in sist sixteen different categories. Okay,
(36:04):
can only imagine the criteria that they score, the grating
criteria on that that must be swamp. Yes, what is sport?
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Well?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I used to say that NASCAR and golf and they
were sports. Well there physical Zion Williamson thinks this is
a sport. I know that. Anyway, let's go around the
room here and we start out. You got to figure
out which of the stories is not completely true. And
let's go to Leslie in Brandon and Florida. She had
The Big Reunion last week with Jack the Judge, Leslie
(36:35):
one two or three, Leslie one, number one, all right,
number one, Shane one two or three, Shane for jog
I'm coming over to watch Steals and it's number one.
Uncle mo.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Is their performance enhancing drugs and story number fie, it's
number one.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
No, it's number one, number one. Sorry for number one,
Blame the clock.
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Fall, hour four of
our radio show, Hanging Out with You and big news,
Big news from Buffalo. What does josh Allen becoming the
face of the Madden video game really mean? Can Josh
(00:24):
Allen avoid the Madden Curse? Can he beat the dreaded
Madden Curse? And as an added bonus here we'll go
over to Nashville where DeAndre Hopkins is visiting the Titans
this weekend. Could you see this happening with DeAndre hopping
into a Tennessee uniform. We'll talk about that as well.
(00:45):
Right now here, it is our number four, the poster
boy of the NFL. Welcome, in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Maddlin Show. We are in the
air everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we are in the center
(01:07):
ring coast to coast, border the water and beyond all
the mast and ear splittingly powerful microphones of FSR amminating
live from the circle, the on deck Circle. We are
broadcasting live from the ti raq dot com studios. Tyre
raq dot com will help you get there. An unmatched selection,
(01:31):
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tire iraq dot com the way tire
buying should be. And our lead this hour coming from
the world of marketing, the marketing world that we will
have a brief update on a franchise relocation. And we
(01:54):
can't tell you the Denver Nuggets did win game number
three of the NBA FIS. They did not trail in
the second half. And this is going to blow you away.
The Denver Nuggets forgot about the three point shot in
the second half. I think they took five three point
shots in the second half. They went inside and peppered
the Miami Heat and found the weakness, the weak spot
(02:17):
in the Miami Heat defense and just feasted on them.
Anyway more than that later, But our lead does come
from the big announcement. It is in the NFL unveiling
the cover athlete for the new version of Madden Football. Now,
if somehow you have been living down by the river
(02:39):
without interweb and with outside media communication, you may not
know what we know, and that is Josh Allen, we
learned will be the cover of the Madden NFL twenty
four franchise video game. He becomes the first member of
the Bill to ever ever have the cover. So how
(03:05):
is that possible. The Madden game has been around since
the nineties, but the Madden game used to just have
John Madden on it back in those days when the
Bills had Jim Kelly and Andre Reid and Thurman Thomas
and those great teams in Buffalo. So anyway, Josh Allen
following in the footsteps of John Madden. He appeared on
the cover after he died. That was in December of
(03:29):
twenty twenty one. So Josh Allen was very appreciative. He
said it was his childhood dream come true to grace
the cover of the game. So let us discuss the
question what does Josh Allen becoming the face of the
Madden video game really mean? What does it really mean?
(03:52):
That is the question. What is the answer? I've got
puffy sticker prepackaged and Twaying as an added bonus, so
to kick off, this is a big deal. I think
this is a big deal for Josh Allen. How can
you not think it's a big deal. It's big for
your resume. Does this help the Buffalo Bills get closer
(04:15):
to winning a Lombardi No, but the NFL has handed
Josh Allen the baton. Here you go, here's the baton.
Josh Allen in that respect is a made man. The
cover boy of the Madden Game is the highest honor
you can get from the NFL's marketing arm. And make
(04:37):
no mistake, this was not decided by EA. This was
a decision by the NFL. They put together a blue
ribbon panel of marketing people. The NFL hand selects the
athlete to represent the league because it's all about the youth,
No ifs ands or buts about it. This is a
nice puffy sticker that Josh Allen can put on his helmet.
(05:01):
It is his bar mitzvah if you will. He's now
a man. Despite the quality of the Madden Game being ripped.
Every year people trash the Madden Game. They sell a
gazillion copies of the Madden Game, and everyone rips it.
It's a huge platform for the league. We all know
that every man, woman and child as watered down as
(05:24):
it is by the corporate muckety MUCKs, the bureaucracy and
everyone trying to appease everyone else because of the industrial
complex of football. Now, hey, we're from the old country
and it'll never ever get to the point it was early.
I think it was early nineties Madden. We had this
ambulance and it was all it was so good, so guy.
(05:48):
A player would get injured in the game and the
game would pause. An ambulance would come driving recklessly like
the ambulance driver was drunk, would plow on to the
field like a clown car at a circus and end
up mowing down half of the players on the field.
Would then stop for about a second and then drive
(06:11):
off the field because they often wouldn't even take the
player that was hurt, suppose in the game. But that
ended years ago. I think it ended over twenty years
ago because the NFL big wigs put the kebosh on
it because it was very offensive and making light of
injuries from the NFL is not allowed fun you kind
of do that. You can't poke fun at things like that.
(06:32):
No place for that in polite society. It's for voting. Now. Furthermore,
can Josh Allen beat the dreaded Madden curse? Can he? Yes?
Will he? No chance? No chance? Now? What is my evidence?
(06:55):
His Pro Football Reference page. It is pre ordained in
injuries are a fact of life in that profession. One
hundred percent injury rate in the league every player. Everyone's
going to have an injury at some point during the season,
the old war of attrition. The difference, though, is that
(07:16):
Josh Allen already has a track record. He has already
been the guy. Even though he's never been on the
Madden Game the cover, he has consistently found ways to
get manga. Last year, he suffered a torn elbow in
Week nine. He didn't miss a start, but he was
not the same. He had a turf toe problem in
twenty twenty one. He also had concussions over the last
(07:39):
couple years, elbow sprains, There's a bunch of other injuries
here that are listed on his injury chart. And the
reason that is is because it's a football and he
plays like a human canniball and mow the Bills quarterback
down and chances are you'll be facing the backup right
He's now He's been branded, though. Here's the problem. Josh
(08:01):
Allen has been branded with the hex, the Madden Hex.
It is a prepackaged excuse for anything negative that happens
from this point forward to Josh Allen. So let's just say, imagine,
if you will, Josh Allen is out shopping for tomatoes
(08:25):
at a pigly wiggly and he trips because they're washing
the floor and he slips on Aisle seven trying to
get the tomatoes and he hurts his ankle, and that
is the Madden chinks or hypothetically, Alan goes out plays
the Patriots throws a couple of interceptions against New England.
(08:49):
Not his fault, well, fuzzy fuzzy dice, right Madden game,
that's the blame but parting shot, turning the page quickly.
Unemployed wide receiver de Andre Hopkins, we have learned, is
going to visit the Tennessee Titans this weekend and started
(09:10):
out as a rumor, but Mike Vrabel confirmed it, So
it's gonna happen. And that is the first nibble, nibble nibble,
the first bite that Hopkins has gotten since he was
fired by the Arizona Cardinals. So let's chat about this now.
DeAndre Hopkins visiting the Titans this weekend? Could you see
(09:32):
Hopkins signing with Tennessee this weekend? So the answer is yes.
I'm going to assume the position that Hopkins is not
going to Nashville for the hot chicken sandwiches which you
can now get. Aren't those Nashville Hot chicken sandwiches. Everywhere
in the United States. Everywhere I've gone, there's a hot
chicken sandwich with anyway, Nashville hot chicken. Yeah, very spicy.
(09:56):
Those things are all over the place. But Hopkins has
been sitting out. How everyone's sitting out because it's the offseason.
But he is from South Carolina. I know that's not Tennessee,
but he's got that Southern playing and his career at
one point was hotter than a bull of grits. Right
now not so much. But we bet he shows up
(10:19):
this weekend. We're in cowboy boots, in a bolo tie
and ready to dance the weekend away at the Honky Talk,
just have a grand old time. And the reason this
is something that the Jimmy could happen is because Tennessee
is the first team he's visiting. You always give the
first team the advantage. There's also nepotism, and you've got
that the fact that Hopkins wants the money. He's not
(10:41):
willing to take a discount. We are told so other
forget about Kansas City and Buffalo if he's not willing
to take a discount, because they're like, we don't really
need you, and these other teams need him. But Rabel
was Mike Rabel was part of the Texans coaching staff
up until twenty seventeen, when Hopkins was on the team.
The offensive coordinator for the Titans, was also part of
(11:01):
the Houston coaching staff. So the other question is what
does this flirtation tell us about the Titans mindset? All right,
this is this is good. This is a dad, give
it what it is a confessional? Okay, let me let
me make my elevator pitch. Why this is confessional because
the front office in Nashville, by bringing in DeAndre Hopkins,
(11:24):
is admitting they royally screwed up by not paying and
then trading AJ Brown to the Birds. And this is
an admission. This is an admission that they screwed up.
The guys they brought in were bums, the guys a bomb,
the guys they brought in. Therefore, the Titans are looking
(11:47):
at and by NFL standards and aging DeAndre Hopkins past
the age of thirty to fill the shoes of AJ Brown.
And this is a bit of a desperation move because
if Tennessee sideways this year, they are one of the
teams that We've circled to have a massive bonfire at
(12:07):
the team facility and burn Baby burn and Ryan Tannehill
will be gone, and Derek Henry will be gone. And
that guy in the back who's pretty good, we don't
know his name, he'll be gone, and Mike Rable will
be gone. It'll be just one punch to the stomach
after another. So keep an eye on that. It is
(12:28):
the Ben Mahlor Show as we roll on through the
wee hours of the morning. If you would like to
be part, you can join us here at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
nine six six three sixty nine. Some new developments on
the athletics relocation. They want to go to Vegas. It's
(12:51):
not going so well for the athletics. Good news if
you want to see the a's stay in Oakland, although
not great good but not great news. Also, Eddie will
have pucked the world not only the Stanley Cup Final,
but we also have trade action yo, a lot of trades. Well,
one big trade I saw in the NHL. So the
Hot Stove League not waiting until the Stanley Cup Final
(13:13):
is over. We'll get to that. We'll take your calls
again eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox the Number

So they had a meeting late into the night on
Wednesday in Nevada and special session regarding the relocation of
(14:23):
the Athletics to Las Vegas to get the money, the
money grabbed by Major League Baseball. Of course, they want
a public funded stadium, even though Vegas, because of the gambling,
does not need public money, but they want the Major
League Baseball mandates it. They need to steal public money,
the taxpayer money to build these stadiums. It's corporate welfare.
(14:45):
They live on that. It's the business model major League Baseball.
That's snake Rob Manford. So anyway, with that said, I'm
getting reports here that have trickled out in the overnight
and it did not go well. Politicians in the have
pushed back against Major League Baseball. They some of them.
(15:05):
Here's here's an example of some of what I'm talking about.
One one state senator Nevada said, why would we give
the Athletics thirty six million dollars per year for the
next five years for a taxpayer funded stadium at the
same time that the governor has vetoted fund vetoed funding
for summer school, a bill to support children's mental health,
(15:28):
a bill requiring paid family leave, and also other crap.
They said, uh, and then they went on Also, I said,
somebody explained to me why we should provide hundreds of
millions of dollars for a billionaire team to come to Vegas.
And they talked about the property value of that real estate,
which is insane, right in the middle of the strip
(15:50):
where the Tropicano Hotel is. And they won a one
point five billion dollar stadium and they were talking about
that and that we sold. Dave caval the president of
the A's, was there speaking, but it was very contentious.
Uh and they they did not vote, and uh so
(16:11):
we'll see what what happens, and the the A's likely
will just move on to the next city until they
find some sucker politicians, which are not hard to find.
They're around every corner, sucker politicians who give money over
to sports teams. That's kind of how that that show
game works. So we'll keep an eye on that. Let's
(16:34):
go to the phones and we'll say hello too, Jed
who fled? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
You had never asked me who I think the three
worst colleges? And I don't know who start, but his
nick and neck for angry Bill and the astrologist lady,
Oh my god, dude for several reasons. They are terrible.
They're terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And you sound very calm right now. You sound very
mellow jed, You're okay. Everything okay, You're not You're not
talking at a high rate of speed. You sound mellow man.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I'm trying to. I'm trying to like counteract like I usual,
get on there and you know, like meet me, get
on here, like road running, know what I'm saying, Like
I but I could. I think I could actually run
out over the ledge a lot of the cavity, but
I had the vapien. I had the vap in numerous times.
You know what I'm saying. I may have I may
have burned my burned this actual cartridge where he doesn't
taste good anymore. But I'm mellow on there, like what's
(17:28):
come along right on the This is where you say
fantastic boys? That was nice?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Like I like I like whenever he goes go, I'm
saying like it's d at bostrophe. Oh you don't see
that much in English. If you just let me talk
on there, there's no doubt about it. But then I
keep all the piece of mails that I got whenever
I was Detroit, when I was you know, I don't
say play. I say I was fast and loose. That
was on the roster, and I got mail in in
(17:59):
my you know what it's saying in the boxes where
you get it, you know, saying ask him that I
want to be part of the massive lawsuit while de
Troy because one year, you know, saying he had the number.
I was this four string quarterback. Unfortunately he was African American.
He had my number of everything he was less saying
It's like, well, I don't think I can. I don't
think I can. Really, I don't think I could pretend
that was me speaking of money.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We all know the year I back alog and listening
to some of the shows and Mountain Out of the
Money had just something to do with JFK's birthday. And
you lightly suggested the CIA might have had something to
do with it. We all know that CIA definitely had
something to do with it. They'd been hiding the you know,
the communications about Oswald for eons. They definitely knew who was.
They probably send him over to Russia in a fake
(18:41):
you know, like oh fake, you know what's fake?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Do man?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
This work?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
For what?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I can't think of it? Whenever you leave the country,
and he said, well, this is where it's where there.
But when the CIA is involved in football, dude, you
know they're gonna you know, they're gonna work for Miami
teams of glamour stuff like that and this nil stuff
because they don't want to imagine like a strong RHNDA

not doing anything domestically at all. And if you can,
if you can take the leap from there, definitely doing
something domestic. I don't have to do with the football.

lot of money. I guess.

most not not of course the ones that we do commercials,

Cup with the Red Wings as well in twenty eight

Okay.

on Friday.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I think that's fair.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, all right, hold hold on, here we go. Let's
get to it. Three stories. Figure out which of the
three is not true, separating fiction from fact. Aaron Judge
may have hit the il as a result of running
into the Dodger bullpen gate, but that doesn't mean the
Yankees aren't going to celebrate the impressive catch during a
(34:35):
home game later this year in August. The first fifteen
thousand fans in the Bronx are going to receive a
commemorative bobblehead of Judge running into the gate there at
Dodger Stadium to make the catch. I'm sure they're being
made right now in China as we speak. Story number two.
(34:56):
He's him. Jimmy Butler is getting a lot of atten
for leading the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals again,
and now it seems he's looking to cash in. Butler
has file the trademark Jimmy Buckets. He intends to use
the name as a brand for clothing and beverages like
coffee and beer. I'd like some hemmy buckets coffee to
(35:20):
go please. And story number three, the participation sport is
announced earlier this week that an organization in Sweden named
the Swedish Sex Federation SSF has declared they've decided that
sex is a sport. See we're all athletes if we
(35:41):
partake in that, and will host the first ever European
Sex Championship. Now, the Swedish government is not supporting this,
but the Swedish Sex Federation is planning this event. It
will last six weeks and participants will engage in various
activities as you might imagine in sist sixteen different categories. Okay,
(36:04):
can only imagine the criteria that they score, the grating
criteria on that that must be swamp. Yes, what is sport?
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Well?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I used to say that NASCAR and golf and they
were sports. Well there physical Zion Williamson thinks this is
a sport. I know that. Anyway, let's go around the
room here and we start out. You got to figure
out which of the stories is not completely true. And
let's go to Leslie in Brandon and Florida. She had
The Big Reunion last week with Jack the Judge, Leslie
(36:35):
one two or three, Leslie one, number one, all right,
number one, Shane one two or three, Shane for jog
I'm coming over to watch Steals and it's number one.
Uncle mo.
Speaker 6 (36:48):

number one.
