Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dub three here. It is
our number three of the radio show, and you're going
to change it up a little bit. As college football
will start before you know it, I'll be playing on
the college gridiron. And right now in Washington, DC Congress
(00:21):
is working to put regulations on name, image and likeness deals.
How do you interpret this latest legislation which has been
leaked to the media on nil deals? Also, what role
does Tommy Tubberville play in this part of the book,
(00:42):
and what is the master plan for the big time
football powers? What are they going for here? We'll talk
about that as well. Here it is our number three.
Put a camp on it, says the politician. Welbe and
(01:03):
not beginning of another hour of the Benmahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air everywhere the monarchy as we
unlock the hot talk coast, Duck coast, border, the Order
and beyond all the mast.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
And immensely powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from
the lounge. We're hanging out in the lit lounge because
these takes are smoking. Unless they're not. We are broadcasting
live from the tire Rack dot Com studios Tyraq dot
Com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast
(01:45):
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers ti raq dot com the way tirebine should be. Sorry,
leave this hour. Coming from Capitol Hill. We're gonna mix
sports and politics, the ongoing fight over college athletes, and
(02:07):
this is really basketball, well football number one, number two
and number three, then basketball four and five, and then
random hot chicks who get a lot of endorsement money
because they're hot. Other than that, that's about all we're
talking about here when it comes to these name image
and likeness deals. Now, if you didn't see the latest
(02:28):
on this, we've talked about this a few times over
the last couple months, and this story popped back up
on our radar. I think it's interesting, the new wrinkle,
So if you haven't seen it, and maybe not in
the latest draft, not the final draft, the latest draft
of this name image and likeness nil bill, college athletes
would be prohibited from striking deals until a semester into
(02:53):
their college careers. So no money for you. You gotta
go to school for a semester, then you get your money.
But wait, there's more. They also point out that booster
led nil collectives, which are all the rage these days,
could provide in quotes benefits close quote two athletes and
(03:15):
their parents with a caveat the collectors must or the
collectors rather, they must sign a contract with the school,
so they have to be under the umbrella of whatever.
You're the Boston College or Clemson or Wisconsin, whatever the colleges. Now,
(03:38):
the working draft was put together as a collaboration between
Senators Tommy Tubberville he's a Republican in Alabama, and Joe Manchin,
he's a Democrat in West Virginia. Now, the legislation grants
the NCAA a tremendous amount of a thing, tremendous amount
(04:02):
of authority. It also, among other things, there's a medical trust.
They claim they're worried about athlete healthcare. There's a bunch
of restrictions that have been placed in this thing. Requires
athletes to use an nc doublea created standard contract. And
there's all kinds of other bells and whistles in this,
(04:24):
which is really great reading. If you're sitting on the
toilet sometime and you want to I want to fall
asleep while you're there on the throne, you can read this.
It's available online. It was leaked to Sports Illustrated. So
let us discuss the question, how do you interpret this
latest legislation to curtail nil deals. So I've got Nascar,
(04:48):
Buggety Buggety Buggety, Mafia, and hula hoops, and we'll connect
all of these things together and we are going to
make billable hours because there's a lot of lawyers getting
bill of ble hours, a lot of lawyers getting bill hours.
So again the question is how do you interpret this
legislation on nil deals. First of all, this is Sir
(05:11):
Isaac Newton's third law in play. Right for every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction. And right now,
both sides are Bobbin and weavin. It's a heavyweight fight.
You look at the tail of the tape. You've got
what I call big pigskin, big college pigskin on one side,
(05:31):
in the other part of the ring making their way
into the ring. Now I'll call them the tick talk jocks.
So you've got big college pigskin versus the tick talk
jocks on the other side, and it's it's, you know,
a couple of alpha male rams taking part of a
full display of masculinity. They're bashing each other's horns by
(05:54):
ramming themselves head to head and all that. College leaders
the people that are running the universities academia, are weaponizing
politicians to regain control. It's a power play, power plate.
It's an ongoing situation, and it's fascinating. This has been
(06:15):
playing out. There have been eight hearings that have been
held so far. More than a dozen athlete related bills
have been introduced by your favorite hacked politicians. None of
them have reached the full committee for debate. Many believe
that this time it's going to be different, that this
legislation is going to have legs, and so what the
(06:38):
college leadership is doing here is they're working like Nascar,
buggety bugget and buggeting. They're placing restrictor plates on the
athletes cars. They're going too fast, which is code for
you're making too much money. That's our money. Every dollar
that goes to you to promote a product on TikTok
(06:59):
as an influencer is siphoned away from the Alabama Crimson
Tide or Ohio State, the buck Eys, Notre Dom, University
of Southern California, and all the other powers on the
college gridiron. That money's our money. How dare you? You
snot nosed punk teenager, get our money all right now? Secondly,
(07:23):
why does Tommy Tulberville matter so much in this part
of the book, in this chapter of the book. Well,
it's obvious, but for those that have not been paying attention,
maybe you're not a college football fan. Tommy is from
the football mafia. He's from the football mafia. He oozes
(07:44):
the DNA of big college football, and he's got the
principles of honors, tradition, respect, dignity and all that stuff.
It's like old school gangsters getting a made man, elected money,
muscle influence, all that. For over twenty years of his
(08:04):
adult life, Tommy Tuberville lived the life. For lack of
a better phrase, he coached at Auburn for a very
long time, from the late nineties to the early two
thousands almost I think it was ever ten years i
remember correctly. But he's at Old Miss before that, coached
at Cincinnati, Texas Tech, and so he's bounced around. But
(08:25):
he was in charge when coaches ruled the roost and
all the money, all the money went to the school.
The star athletes. Now, they didn't get none of it.
They got some of it. A lot of the top
guys got under the table Manila envelopes with cash, but
that was rare and appropriate. It was controlled, and it
(08:46):
was a mere pittance compared to what the schools got.
So Tommy Tubberville is very important. He has seen in
boxing they would call him the Great White Hope, but
in college sports because he's now a law maker, because
he's an elected official in Washington, he has the power
to write the legal papers to give the nc double
(09:09):
A and the major schools that pretend to be about
academics but are really about big time football and basketball,
to give them the power back. And Tommy Tubberville's using this.
He's writing the legislation right now that can get them
out of a sinkle. And he was behaving normally before.
(09:33):
It's like Manchurian candidate, right, He's behaving normally, and then
all of a sudden, there was that trigger. And now
Tommy Tubberville has been activated and he's doing the dirty
work of the nc AA and the university presidents and
all that. Now final thought, what is the master plan
for the big time football powers? So the scheme is
(09:57):
right in front of your nose right there, right, big
schnas right in your face, regain control. Up until a
couple of years ago, as we said, the money big
time college football, Truman, they're still making a lot of money,
but they're just using a useful idiot in Congress who's
a friend of theirs to get the athletes to clean
(10:19):
their nose and empty their pockets in I do not
support this. I think the players should get If people
are dumb enough to give these these players money because
they think these are gonna be the next big thing,
that's on them and if they can't afford it, that's
also on them. And to say that we need some
(10:39):
kind of government oversight, I disagree with that. I think
that's I don't need the government to tell me how
to live my life or how And I'm not gonna
get any money. I have no nil deal. I'm not
gonna play college sports. But a lot of people are jealous.
I think that's the thing. A lot of people are
jealous because these punk kids are getting all this money.
I don't care. It's like, why would you want to
(11:01):
limit that. I don't support salary caps. You know, people
like I work here, I do the Overnight Show, we
do four hours, Colin Cowherd makes about seventy times. Would
I make good for him? Good for him by another mansion?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Colin?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I support that. I'm okay with it because I would
like to be in that position. And if you limit
how much he makes, then if I'm lucky enough to
get in that position, you limit how much I can make.
But they're weaponizing this nil legislation. They've got bazookas on
one side, missiles on the other. The plans are straightforward,
and the goal is to make athletes jump through all
(11:37):
the hula hoops. Here's another hula hoop, and another hula hoop,
and another hula hoop. I'm talking about official forms to
the right, procedures to the left, time consuming, busy body work,
classic bureaucracy and regulation. And for example, the latest legislation
(11:57):
would allow schools to ban athletes from entering into NIL
deals for all of the bad stuff, the sex, drugs,
and rock and roll all out, all right, no products,
no nothing, sexual only fans, you're out. Drugs, no, none
of that, tobacco, weed, weapons, pharmaceuticals. All of that can
(12:22):
be and will be outlawed if this legislation ends up passing.
It is the Ben Malors Show. If you'd like to
comment on any of that, we will take your calls
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Our top story
earlier we began the show a while back, was about
Stefan Diggs as he's not digging it with the Bills.
(12:42):
I just gotta I gotta get a good truckle, good truckle.
When I saw the Bills coach squirming trying to kiss
the toes of Stefan Diggs. Nothing to see here, everything's good.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, sure, that's that's the
ticket right there, that's the ticket. Absolutely. I wanted to
(13:03):
mention this from Last Star, So Ellie Delacruz, this guy's
a young star. He's only played like less than ten
games I think for the Reds. But he says exciting
guy and all that people fired up. Well, it turns
out Ellie Delacruz made a deal years ago that will
likely end up putting him in financial trouble for the
(13:25):
rest of his career. This is a guy. If he's
as good as advertised, it's gonna get one of those
three hundred million dollar contracts, not from the Reds, so
he'll get it from the Yankees or the Dodgers or
something like that. But he'll get one of those three
hundred million dollar contracts and so he's he's off to
a good start and all that. Well, it turns out
when he was a young guy, which he's still a
(13:46):
young guy, but he is one of about five hundred
professional athletes that ended up taking a deal with an
investment firm. And part of the deal was we'll front
you some, we'll take care of you, we'll give you
a little money here, but you got to take care
of us on the backside. And so there's this company
(14:07):
called I believe the name is Big League Advantage, and
so they handed out money early on in the career
of Elie dela Cruz, and they they were betting that
of these five hundred athletes, a few of them would
make it big. And if they made it big, for
the rest of their life they as athletes, they had
(14:30):
to give eight percent eight percent of all future earnings.
And La dela Cruz is one of those guys. Now
he's not the only one that's made it. Fernando Toetis
Junior the steroid treat from the Padres. I'm sorry that
was ringworm. Fernando Toetis Junior also had one of those deals.
(14:50):
And to give you an example how much money that
has cost. Fernando to Tis Junior, he had to pay
eight percent of his contract with the Padres, which is
three hundred and forty million, So they made twenty seven
point two million the group that fronted the money. And
li del the Cruz if he gets to the contract
like that, he will have to give over twenty seven
(15:10):
million dollars to this group. So man and I am
told that the money they made already from the Fernando
to Teas contract, they've already made their money back that
they fronted all those athletes years ago. It spent Mala
Seawan Fox eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Time

he would eat them without anything other than just plain.
It was pretty bad anyway. Kathy says Colorado weed. Kaffe

how many more allegations have come out.
Speaker 1 (25:29):

I don't know, no idea.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Bauer claims she's trying to get money out of him.
I don't know whether that's the case or not. But
there you can add her lawsuit. But Bauer does definitely
fight back when these things pop up. Though. Yeah, I'm
gonna guess this delays his return.

Yeah, And the rhythm of chanting was really cool. Of course,

thing and get out on this.

You know why.
Speaker 9 (28:27):

That's the thing is is childhood team. The as you're
leaving go to Vegas, do you see the owner the
A's this. He's at the Midtown headquarters of Major League Baseball.
I guess he's meeting to go over how this is.
They're going to present this to the public this John
Fisher and the media caught up to him. A reporter
(29:14):
for Newsday tracked him down and said, hey, we would
like to have you comment on your moving this team
out of the Bay Area to Vegas, and John Fisher
of course, did he comment or did he say I
have no comment? He declined to comment. He said that
he had something he had to do and could not
(29:35):
speak when he was approached. He left the building, came
back with a drink minutes later and went back upstairs.
So he went back up to it. Did he really
he's the owner of a baseball Did he had to
go out of his own drink? He couldn't have something
delivered to the owners? You know the the MLB headquarters there.

Cowboy Killa. He wants to know for the crew, is
there a fashion style that you regret that you partook in?
For example, I wore Jinco's.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah. So I don't remember this because I was a kid.
But when my parents passed away, I was going through
some old photos and my mom I wish he was
around so I could yell at her. Address me in
bell bottoms. So there are some photos there of me
in the old school garb there, So that was a
little awkward, but yeah, that's about it, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
What about you, Eddie, do you remember half shirts?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Oh? Yes, it was that like the eighties, Yes, yeah,

Yeah, I've heard it.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
So yes, what about Iowa, Sam, you wanted on this?
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Well, it wasn't quite a fashion trend. But when I
was like in seventh eighth grade, I was obsessed with
the color orange. So I had orange pants and like orange,
I mean, and I looked like an escaped fellon like
a contact.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
The fugitive on the run.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
And everyone would you know, I just loved I had
like orange cargo.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
Pants, and yeah, so you still love orange.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
I like the color orange, but not quite as much
as I did when I was like seventh and eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I understand cool.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Orange is actually my favorite color.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
And I also I was gonna mention so in middle
school I wore those like the fisherman's hats, the bucket hats. Yeah,
that was that was bad. And then I also had
orange orange pants, but they were the pants that turn
into shorts you can undset the bottoms. I had a
few different ones, but the orange ones I loved those.
Loved wearing the orange.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Oh you know what else I had? I just remember
this is really embarrassing too. Remember there's an mc hammer.
What were those pants?

I think Wednesday, though. Do you have a trash shoot?
Speaker 5 (35:06):
We do have a trash shoot, and it smells. Every

Speaker 1 (35:28):
To ask Ben? Your questions are answers for the rest

Speaker 8 (35:34):
Late night Drug tester would like to know for the
crew if animals could talk, which animal would be considered
the rudest.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I think of a house cat. They just seem like
a holes to me. From like animals you'd actually run across.
I think the standard pussy cat would be just a
total bitch. What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I'm gonna go seagull it's good.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
That's a good one out of your hand. I'm gonna
go with a badger or a wolverine because they are
very ferocious. So I think that there's just very temperamental
and they be jerkson. Well, you don't see wolverines very often,
and badgers are hard to come by too, but they
are out there up in the Upper Midwest.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
What about crows?
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Aren't crows kind of surly smart? They're smart, they sound surly.
Maybe they have a bigger heart than you think.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Well, I've never dissected one. What about you.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
I gotta agree with you, Ben. I gotta go with
house cat.
Speaker 8 (36:32):
I have a couple of them, and sometimes they I
know that they're doing things just to spite me, like
because you yes, yes, absolutely, knocking water off the counter
or something.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Yeah, because they can yeah you off.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yes, you're not taking good enough care of me. It's asked, Ben,
your questions are answer. Let's keep it going here.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
I should go a little a little deep here.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Georgia boy wants to know what is your fondest memory
of your dad?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Oh, my funest memory I have so many. Obviously my
dad's not with us anymore, but I remember he was
not a big sports fan, but he would take my
ass to games. I remember that. So those are some
of the things I, you know, going to I remember
going to a Rams game. They were playing the forty
nine ers, and I was so obsessed with the Madden
Cruiser that was outside.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I thought that was like the coolest thing in the world.
And my dad could not care less, couldn't have cared
less on that, but he was played along and all that.
So things like that and different little wisdom. I actually
got closer to my dad when my mom passed it.
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 8 (37:39):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Probably my dad did not go to college, but he
was a huge Fresno State fan, and of course I
ended up going to college there, and he was the
eternal optimist with Fresno State football. He was convinced they
were gonna win every game, even when they played Alabama
on the road. He was convinced that there was a way,
well that maybe it could happen. Then I just always
(38:00):
made me smile.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's cool. Yeah, he's just like totally obtuse to the
reality of the world.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
But the who's the coach that Pat Pat Hill?
Speaker 5 (38:10):
Yeah, he was like any time anywhere, right yea manchew mustache,
but yeah, he was good.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
It's good. Plus they pay a lot of money when
you play any time. Yes, yeah, Sam, any memories again? Quickly.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
I got beamed in the hand by a baseball and
broke my metacarpool around the bases. And my dad was
at this game and I said, I think I need
to go to the hospital, and he said it's my
day off and he works at the hospital, so he
didn't want to go back there.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
And I love him for cool Eddy.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
I went to my first Broncos game in Denver with
my dad.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Oh that's cool, ask man in the books.
Hello and welcome. It's our dub three here. It is
our number three of the radio show, and you're going
to change it up a little bit. As college football
will start before you know it, I'll be playing on
the college gridiron. And right now in Washington, DC Congress
(00:21):
is working to put regulations on name, image and likeness deals.
How do you interpret this latest legislation which has been
leaked to the media on nil deals? Also, what role
does Tommy Tubberville play in this part of the book,
(00:42):
and what is the master plan for the big time
football powers? What are they going for here? We'll talk
about that as well. Here it is our number three.
Put a camp on it, says the politician. Welbe and
(01:03):
not beginning of another hour of the Benmahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air everywhere the monarchy as we
unlock the hot talk coast, Duck coast, border, the Order
and beyond all the mast.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
And immensely powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from
the lounge. We're hanging out in the lit lounge because
these takes are smoking. Unless they're not. We are broadcasting
live from the tire Rack dot Com studios Tyraq dot
Com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast
(01:45):
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers ti raq dot com the way tirebine should be. Sorry,
leave this hour. Coming from Capitol Hill. We're gonna mix
sports and politics, the ongoing fight over college athletes, and
(02:07):
this is really basketball, well football number one, number two
and number three, then basketball four and five, and then
random hot chicks who get a lot of endorsement money
because they're hot. Other than that, that's about all we're
talking about here when it comes to these name image
and likeness deals. Now, if you didn't see the latest
(02:28):
on this, we've talked about this a few times over
the last couple months, and this story popped back up
on our radar. I think it's interesting, the new wrinkle,
So if you haven't seen it, and maybe not in
the latest draft, not the final draft, the latest draft
of this name image and likeness nil bill, college athletes
would be prohibited from striking deals until a semester into
(02:53):
their college careers. So no money for you. You gotta
go to school for a semester, then you get your money.
But wait, there's more. They also point out that booster
led nil collectives, which are all the rage these days,
could provide in quotes benefits close quote two athletes and
(03:15):
their parents with a caveat the collectors must or the
collectors rather, they must sign a contract with the school,
so they have to be under the umbrella of whatever.
You're the Boston College or Clemson or Wisconsin, whatever the colleges. Now,
(03:38):
the working draft was put together as a collaboration between
Senators Tommy Tubberville he's a Republican in Alabama, and Joe Manchin,
he's a Democrat in West Virginia. Now, the legislation grants
the NCAA a tremendous amount of a thing, tremendous amount
(04:02):
of authority. It also, among other things, there's a medical trust.
They claim they're worried about athlete healthcare. There's a bunch
of restrictions that have been placed in this thing. Requires
athletes to use an nc doublea created standard contract. And
there's all kinds of other bells and whistles in this,
(04:24):
which is really great reading. If you're sitting on the
toilet sometime and you want to I want to fall
asleep while you're there on the throne, you can read this.
It's available online. It was leaked to Sports Illustrated. So
let us discuss the question, how do you interpret this
latest legislation to curtail nil deals. So I've got Nascar,
(04:48):
Buggety Buggety Buggety, Mafia, and hula hoops, and we'll connect
all of these things together and we are going to
make billable hours because there's a lot of lawyers getting
bill of ble hours, a lot of lawyers getting bill hours.
So again the question is how do you interpret this
legislation on nil deals. First of all, this is Sir
(05:11):
Isaac Newton's third law in play. Right for every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction. And right now,
both sides are Bobbin and weavin. It's a heavyweight fight.
You look at the tail of the tape. You've got
what I call big pigskin, big college pigskin on one side,
(05:31):
in the other part of the ring making their way
into the ring. Now I'll call them the tick talk jocks.
So you've got big college pigskin versus the tick talk
jocks on the other side, and it's it's, you know,
a couple of alpha male rams taking part of a
full display of masculinity. They're bashing each other's horns by
(05:54):
ramming themselves head to head and all that. College leaders
the people that are running the universities academia, are weaponizing
politicians to regain control. It's a power play, power plate.
It's an ongoing situation, and it's fascinating. This has been
(06:15):
playing out. There have been eight hearings that have been
held so far. More than a dozen athlete related bills
have been introduced by your favorite hacked politicians. None of
them have reached the full committee for debate. Many believe
that this time it's going to be different, that this
legislation is going to have legs, and so what the
(06:38):
college leadership is doing here is they're working like Nascar,
buggety bugget and buggeting. They're placing restrictor plates on the
athletes cars. They're going too fast, which is code for
you're making too much money. That's our money. Every dollar
that goes to you to promote a product on TikTok
(06:59):
as an influencer is siphoned away from the Alabama Crimson
Tide or Ohio State, the buck Eys, Notre Dom, University
of Southern California, and all the other powers on the
college gridiron. That money's our money. How dare you? You
snot nosed punk teenager, get our money all right now? Secondly,
(07:23):
why does Tommy Tulberville matter so much in this part
of the book, in this chapter of the book. Well,
it's obvious, but for those that have not been paying attention,
maybe you're not a college football fan. Tommy is from
the football mafia. He's from the football mafia. He oozes
(07:44):
the DNA of big college football, and he's got the
principles of honors, tradition, respect, dignity and all that stuff.
It's like old school gangsters getting a made man, elected money,
muscle influence, all that. For over twenty years of his
(08:04):
adult life, Tommy Tuberville lived the life. For lack of
a better phrase, he coached at Auburn for a very
long time, from the late nineties to the early two
thousands almost I think it was ever ten years i
remember correctly. But he's at Old Miss before that, coached
at Cincinnati, Texas Tech, and so he's bounced around. But
(08:25):
he was in charge when coaches ruled the roost and
all the money, all the money went to the school.
The star athletes. Now, they didn't get none of it.
They got some of it. A lot of the top
guys got under the table Manila envelopes with cash, but
that was rare and appropriate. It was controlled, and it
(08:46):
was a mere pittance compared to what the schools got.
So Tommy Tubberville is very important. He has seen in
boxing they would call him the Great White Hope, but
in college sports because he's now a law maker, because
he's an elected official in Washington, he has the power
to write the legal papers to give the nc double
(09:09):
A and the major schools that pretend to be about
academics but are really about big time football and basketball,
to give them the power back. And Tommy Tubberville's using this.
He's writing the legislation right now that can get them
out of a sinkle. And he was behaving normally before.
(09:33):
It's like Manchurian candidate, right, He's behaving normally, and then
all of a sudden, there was that trigger. And now
Tommy Tubberville has been activated and he's doing the dirty
work of the nc AA and the university presidents and
all that. Now final thought, what is the master plan
for the big time football powers? So the scheme is
(09:57):
right in front of your nose right there, right, big
schnas right in your face, regain control. Up until a
couple of years ago, as we said, the money big
time college football, Truman, they're still making a lot of money,
but they're just using a useful idiot in Congress who's
a friend of theirs to get the athletes to clean
(10:19):
their nose and empty their pockets in I do not
support this. I think the players should get If people
are dumb enough to give these these players money because
they think these are gonna be the next big thing,
that's on them and if they can't afford it, that's
also on them. And to say that we need some
(10:39):
kind of government oversight, I disagree with that. I think
that's I don't need the government to tell me how
to live my life or how And I'm not gonna
get any money. I have no nil deal. I'm not
gonna play college sports. But a lot of people are jealous.
I think that's the thing. A lot of people are
jealous because these punk kids are getting all this money.
I don't care. It's like, why would you want to
(11:01):
limit that. I don't support salary caps. You know, people
like I work here, I do the Overnight Show, we
do four hours, Colin Cowherd makes about seventy times. Would
I make good for him? Good for him by another mansion?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Colin?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I support that. I'm okay with it because I would
like to be in that position. And if you limit
how much he makes, then if I'm lucky enough to
get in that position, you limit how much I can make.
But they're weaponizing this nil legislation. They've got bazookas on
one side, missiles on the other. The plans are straightforward,
and the goal is to make athletes jump through all
(11:37):
the hula hoops. Here's another hula hoop, and another hula hoop,
and another hula hoop. I'm talking about official forms to
the right, procedures to the left, time consuming, busy body work,
classic bureaucracy and regulation. And for example, the latest legislation
(11:57):
would allow schools to ban athletes from entering into NIL
deals for all of the bad stuff, the sex, drugs,
and rock and roll all out, all right, no products,
no nothing, sexual only fans, you're out. Drugs, no, none
of that, tobacco, weed, weapons, pharmaceuticals. All of that can
(12:22):
be and will be outlawed if this legislation ends up passing.
It is the Ben Malors Show. If you'd like to
comment on any of that, we will take your calls
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Our top story
earlier we began the show a while back, was about
Stefan Diggs as he's not digging it with the Bills.
(12:42):
I just gotta I gotta get a good truckle, good truckle.
When I saw the Bills coach squirming trying to kiss
the toes of Stefan Diggs. Nothing to see here, everything's good.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, sure, that's that's the
ticket right there, that's the ticket. Absolutely. I wanted to
(13:03):
mention this from Last Star, So Ellie Delacruz, this guy's
a young star. He's only played like less than ten
games I think for the Reds. But he says exciting
guy and all that people fired up. Well, it turns
out Ellie Delacruz made a deal years ago that will
likely end up putting him in financial trouble for the
(13:25):
rest of his career. This is a guy. If he's
as good as advertised, it's gonna get one of those
three hundred million dollar contracts, not from the Reds, so
he'll get it from the Yankees or the Dodgers or
something like that. But he'll get one of those three
hundred million dollar contracts and so he's he's off to
a good start and all that. Well, it turns out
when he was a young guy, which he's still a
(13:46):
young guy, but he is one of about five hundred
professional athletes that ended up taking a deal with an
investment firm. And part of the deal was we'll front
you some, we'll take care of you, we'll give you
a little money here, but you got to take care
of us on the backside. And so there's this company
(14:07):
called I believe the name is Big League Advantage, and
so they handed out money early on in the career
of Elie dela Cruz, and they they were betting that
of these five hundred athletes, a few of them would
make it big. And if they made it big, for
the rest of their life they as athletes, they had
(14:30):
to give eight percent eight percent of all future earnings.
And La dela Cruz is one of those guys. Now
he's not the only one that's made it. Fernando Toetis
Junior the steroid treat from the Padres. I'm sorry that
was ringworm. Fernando Toetis Junior also had one of those deals.
(14:50):
And to give you an example how much money that
has cost. Fernando to Tis Junior, he had to pay
eight percent of his contract with the Padres, which is
three hundred and forty million, So they made twenty seven
point two million the group that fronted the money. And
li del the Cruz if he gets to the contract
like that, he will have to give over twenty seven
(15:10):
million dollars to this group. So man and I am
told that the money they made already from the Fernando
to Teas contract, they've already made their money back that
they fronted all those athletes years ago. It spent Mala
Seawan Fox eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Time
Now for the Malor Riddle of the day. And here's
(15:31):
the Malor Riddle of the day. Dion Sanders, Pram Time
coach Pryme. He says that he realized when he walked,
you know, walked into Colorado was a mess. It was
a mess. The moment he had an epiphany was when

know cheer My dad used to eat cheerios, and sometimes
he would eat them without anything other than just plain.
It was pretty bad anyway. Kathy says Colorado weed. Kaffe

the rudest.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I think of a house cat. They just seem like
a holes to me. From like animals you'd actually run across.
I think the standard pussy cat would be just a
total bitch. What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I'm gonna go seagull it's good.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
That's a good one out of your hand. I'm gonna
go with a badger or a wolverine because they are
very ferocious. So I think that there's just very temperamental
and they be jerkson. Well, you don't see wolverines very often,
and badgers are hard to come by too, but they
are out there up in the Upper Midwest.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
What about crows?
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Aren't crows kind of surly smart? They're smart, they sound surly.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
I gotta agree with you, Ben. I gotta go with
house cat.

Uh.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Georgia boy wants to know what is your fondest memory
of your dad?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Oh, my funest memory I have so many. Obviously my
dad's not with us anymore, but I remember he was
not a big sports fan, but he would take my
ass to games. I remember that. So those are some
of the things I, you know, going to I remember
going to a Rams game. They were playing the forty
nine ers, and I was so obsessed with the Madden
Cruiser that was outside.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I thought that was like the coolest thing in the world.
And my dad could not care less, couldn't have cared
less on that, but he was played along and all that.
So things like that and different little wisdom. I actually
got closer to my dad when my mom passed it.
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 8 (37:39):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Probably my dad did not go to college, but he
was a huge Fresno State fan, and of course I
ended up going to college there, and he was the
eternal optimist with Fresno State football. He was convinced they
were gonna win every game, even when they played Alabama
on the road. He was convinced that there was a way,
well that maybe it could happen. Then I just always
(38:00):
made me smile.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's cool. Yeah, he's just like totally obtuse to the
reality of the world.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
But the who's the coach that Pat Pat Hill?
Speaker 5 (38:10):
Yeah, he was like any time anywhere, right yea manchew mustache,

I got beamed in the hand by a baseball and
broke my metacarpool around the bases. And my dad was
at this game and I said, I think I need
to go to the hospital, and he said it's my
day off and he works at the hospital, so he
didn't want to go back there.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
And I love him for cool Eddy.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
I went to my first Broncos game in Denver with
my dad.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Oh that's cool, ask man in the books.
