shoot me so our lead this hour as we start
(01:39):
out a new week together again, we've survived the weekend.
Congratulations and now back to the salt mine. We go
here slaving away over the red hot microphones of fs
ARE and our lead coming out of the transaction wire.
Who does not enjoy a nice transaction? So for seid
(02:00):
several months we have had regular Malard monologues about the
life and times of a certain free agent receiver. Considered
this likely our final, final obligatory Mallard monologue about the
job status of the Andre Hopkins, who was fired by
the Arizona Cardinals. They no longer needed his services. He
(02:22):
was available to whoever wanted him, and not many did,
not many did. If you've not heard over the weekend,
it came down the pike the announcement that dere Hopkins
had made his selection. And I know you're excited. You
I've not heard yet. Oh my god, this is so
exciting unless it's not. But we have learned that the
Andre Hopkins has agreed to terms on a contract with
(02:47):
the Titans. He's gonna have cowboy boots and a cowboy
He's gonna hang out with Klay Travis at Titan Games.
Our old buddy used to work here. They'll all schmooze together.
And he's taken his talents to the Music City. Good luck,
good luck on that Hopkins picked the flame Heads instead
of the Patriots. Could have gone played for the Pats,
(03:07):
said no, I don't want to be a Patsy. I'd
rather go hang out in Nashville, So he's doing that. Also,
this debunks the long standing rumor that DeAndre Hopkins was
merely waiting for Kansas City to open up salary cap
space and he was gonna slide on him to hang
out with Patrick Mahomes. That clearly was not the case.
(03:30):
And so how much are we talking about? Well, I
know you're very concerned about DeAndre Hopkins and his finances.
A little birdie says that he gets a two year
deal which could be worth up to fifteen million dollars
in the first year based on incentives. So fifteen million
dollars based on incentives. Of course, that's weasel terminology because rarely,
(03:54):
if ever, has a player ever hit all of the
incentives so factor that in so your analysis, let us
discuss the question. Put a grade on it. You gotta
put a grade on it. DeAndre Hopkins goes to the Titans.
It is all done now. So what is the grade
for Hopkins and the Titans on the malor report card?
(04:16):
DeAndre Hopkins gets a capital D. He's getting the D,
and the Tennessee Titans they end up getting a C. Whoo,
that's it. That's the report card. So I've got cronyism, allergies,
and dragon breath, and we will combine all of these
(04:36):
things together and we are going to make a headache,
which is what many Patriot fans Apparently they have this headache.
These Patriot fans are upset and they're annoyed by this.
But the Titans get the player. Are my friends listening
to Nashville giddy with excitement?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Are Nashville guys all fired up?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They think they're going to win a playoff berth because
DeAndre Hopkins is there. So a listen. DeAndre Hopkins has
been what he has been twisting in the wind is
what he has been doing. He's been twisting in the
wind over the last couple of months. Here. That's just
the way it is, the story's played out, Hopkins, he
is not getting what he wants. He is settling. DeAndre
(05:19):
Hopkins is settling, and he did not want to play
for either the Patriots or the Titans. But they're the
only ones that were knocking on his door, and they
were the ones texting and calling, and they didn't even
call that much. They didn't been text that much. And
so his squad was trying to facilitate interest from Kansas
(05:41):
City or somebody else who's better or at least supposed
to be better than the Patriots and the Titans. Obviously
that did not happen, and so here we are at
a crossroads and they were unable to speak it into reality,
and so it did not work. And now DeAndre Hopkins
taking his talents to the Titans. And so that's why
he gets the D because this is not a great situation.
(06:03):
He goes to a team that is a contender, but
only a contender because of the division they're in. Jacksonville's
not a guarantee to have a great team again. And
Houston blows his old team and the Colts will be
lucky if they can tie their shoes and not trip
over their shoes not tie them together as they get
(06:24):
out on the field. So by the process of elimination,
Tennessee is a contender, but they're really a full contender
because they're in the AFC. And you and I both
know you look around the AFC, got the big three,
Kansas City, who's out in front by several lengths, then Cincinnati,
and then after that a couple of lengths behind the Bengals,
you have the Buffalo Bills. So that's the top three,
(06:45):
and then you got a bunch of other teams in
the AFC that are pretty pretty good, and the Titans
are not on there. But you also have in Tennessee,
if you're DeAndre Hopkins, a team that is not built
around the passing offense. They are built around who the
super over Dereck Henry, Oh Henry. It's all about that.
That's that's the offense. Everything filters through the running game,
(07:08):
and Hopkins will catch some strays that he's the biggest
name receiver you've got there. There's nobody else of any
real value as far as name brand recognition is concerned
in Tennessee. And the other downside is you have Ryan
Tannehill throwing you the Duke trucking the ball at you.
Tennessee has been trying to replace this cat for the
(07:28):
last two years. They've drafted quarterbacks each of the last
two years and Ryan Tannehill, like a cocker roach, continues
on there in Tennessee. So far, they are zero for one.
We'll see if this year Will Levis is a success.
They drafted him. Of course not in the first round
because he wasn't picked in the first round. But anyway,
the Titans get a c On the other side, why
(07:50):
did the Titans get to see because they were able
to use cronyism to get the player. That's really what
this comes down to. Hopkins had a long standing relationlationship
with this guy named Tim Kelly, the offensive coordinat He
also knew Mike Vrabel. They were together in tennis in
Houston rather before those guys went to Tennessee, and so
(08:10):
they knew each other. It's again not what you know too,
you know the secret to life. It's just knowing a
lot of different people and they'd worked together. Now part
two of this, why did de Andre Hopkins reject New England?
It seems like it would make more sense for him
to go to New England in terms of high profile games,
(08:32):
in terms of lack of an elite player on the
offense anywhere around. So from a career standpoint, the Pats
definitely would have been better. This is a mistake by
deanre Hopkins. I hope he enjoys the food and all
the nice people of Nashville, because this will likely be
the last we hear of Hopkins. Now, there's no guarantee
(08:53):
he'd gone to New England it would have been any better.
But it's certainly set up better with the Patriots because
there is no alpha dog. It's an ensemble group. It's
an ensemble cast there in New England. And you've got
more high profile games. AFC East matchups, the Patriots versus
the Bills twice, the Jets and Aaron Rodgers twice, the
(09:14):
Dolphins twice. All of those games will get a little
extra juice, a little extra buzz. And the Titans match up.
Their big games are in the division against the Colts.
Who cares Texans, let me know who won. Maybe I'll
be interested. And Jacksonville, but you can't get up for
a Jacksonville, Tennessee game. You just can't get too excited
about that. It doesn't really move the needle, and that's
(09:37):
where we are. They're lacking juice. There's not a lot
of juice in those particular matchups. Plus Bill Belichick the
other factor here. The reason he didn't go to the Patriots,
you would think is the dogmatic nature of Bill Belichick
and the Patriots, the principles, the Patriot principles, if you will.
Has New England ever been a pursuer of free agents
(10:00):
where they really go out and spend a lot of money.
Now they're at arm's length pretty much. Right. If you
want to play in Foxborough, you have to be motivated
as a player. Furthermore, and you have to actually practice regularly.
That appears to be a problem for DeAndre Hopkins that
he's not interested in doing that, and that becomes problematic
(10:23):
allergies getting the way. This is an allergy situation. What
do I mean by that? Hopkins has been allergic to
putting in extra work with the Cardinals. Of course they
let him get away with that. Cliff Kingsbury the enabler
there in Arizona. What a dumb coach he turned out
to be for Arizona. We knew when he was having
social media breaks during team meetings that this was not
(10:44):
likely going to go all that well. It has not,
and that's why he is now back at the college
level at s. C. Cliff Kingsbury, trying to rework his
magic as a coach. But you look around there and
Hopkins does not apparently like to practice all that much.
And the last thing here, so now that DeAndre Hopkins
is off the board, hey go, there's still teams that
(11:07):
need help at the wide receiver position. We got to
update our scorecards now, So you update the scorecard. You
look around the question here on this one what is
left for the Patriots and the Chiefs looking to upgrade
the receiver position. So if you look around here and
you scan what you need to know, do first you
(11:28):
go to go down to like CBS Walgreens and get
some mouthwashed, because all of the available receivers have dragon breath,
all of them. Right, Julio Jones is available, he's done,
He's no longer an effective NFL receiver and he makes
no impact at age thirty four. Don't let a falling
(11:50):
star fall on you. We saw that in Tampa last year.
Kenny Galladay, who was good with the Lions a couple
of years ago, he can be yours if you want.
He's still out there on hard times. Last two years
with the Giants, he had just one touchdown combined the
last Tuesday led the NFL in touchdowns with the Lions
back in the day a couple years ago. And then
(12:10):
you look and say, like Nikhil Harry, who was a
first round pick of the Patriots, I'm sure the Patriots
will bring him back with open arms unless they wouldn't.
And I see Sammy Watkins who has yet to land anywhere,
Jarvis Landry, guys like that that can be yours at
the prices right. So again I go back to Dragon Breath.
That's what's out there. And DeAndre Hopkins. There's no guarantee
(12:33):
if I was betting, if you gave me one thousand
dollars a house money, that DeAndre Hopkins is going to
have a career renaissance in Nashville, or DeAndre Hopkins is
going to cause issues and not be all that productive
and likely get hurt. My money's on the ladder. That's
where my money is.

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 1 (12:58):
A visit to the King Court. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are
in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as we are
on the public wheel, coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond, on the mast and uproarously powerful microphones of
(13:23):
fs are mmnating live from the climate as we undergo
sports climate change on a nightly basis. We are broadcasting
live from the tire raq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
(13:44):
recommended installers. Tyrack dot com the Way tire buying, shoe
and our lead this hour coming from pro Bouncy Ball.
Are we going to bore you with an NBA Summer
Pro League monologue? Now? We are not going to do that.
Are we gonna lead off with dame time? Now? We
(14:04):
are not gonna do that. We will get to that
at some point, but not right now, not right now,
because the news never stops. The beat goes on and
on and on and on and on. Even in the
middle of July, for example, King James has filled the
donation box the Sports radio donation box. We thank it
(14:25):
for that providing us with marginal content to discuss here
on the radio show. If you did not hear over
the weekend the news came out, maybe you missed it
because I don't really care about numerical things. So we
learned that Lebron James will look much different. His uniform
will look much different next season. He has decided to
(14:49):
go back in time what's old is new again and
has said, you know what, I would like to add
another digit to my uniform. So he's gonna do exactly that.
Lebron's switching things up, going back to number twenty three
from his number six. That's the uniform number he wore
for fourteen of his twenty seasons in the NBA. Now,
(15:10):
Rich Paul commented on this, the number one Lebron Jacksniffer,
Rich Paul, give him credit, mad, He's made a lot
of money off Lebron man. Right if he didn't meet Lebron,
what would Rich Paul be doing right now? You know,
it might have been successful, but he wouldn't be as
successful as he's been as he hooked his wagon to
(15:31):
the Lebron train. True anyway, Rich Paul said that Lebron
has chosen to change his number out of respect for
Bill Russell. Yeah, okay, so let us discuss Lebron James
changing his uniform from number twenty three to number six
is blank. So I've got commandeering, toyotas and pet food aisle,
(15:58):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make an inflated ego, which my
man Lebron, he has that inflated ego, God bless him.
So number one, Yes, Lebron James changing his uniform number
is blank? How about unnecessary? How about insufferable? Those are
(16:23):
two words that I've come up with to describe what's
going on here. Now he's doing it out of really boredom.
I believe that is the case here that in that
little cartoon bubble over his head, as Lebron sits around
his resort style pool up there in bel Air, just
above our studios here where we broadcast from that, in
that little cartoon bubble over there in bell Air, he's
(16:45):
cooking up different ways he can create artificially, create a
little bit of bus keep the brand in the spotlight.
So my theory is Lebron has decided he wants to commandeer.
He's into commandeering Kobe's playbook. Now, some would say he's
our done that by wearing two different jersey numbers as
a Laker, but he wants to make sure he wants
(17:07):
any doubt to go out the window that when he's
done playing, he gets the full Lakers suck up package.
Because there's one thing the Lakers do almost as well
as anyone else other than the Celtics in basketball, and
that's retire jersey numbers. They're addicted to it. And so
by commandeering number twenty three again, you are helping to
(17:28):
cement the fact that you get the Kobe playbook treatment
and the Lebron setting himself up when he retires to
have the Lakers retire both number six and number twenty
three for him because number six is not retired. The
NBA didn't retire number six for Bill Russell. And by
the way, I hate to be the bearer of reality,
(17:48):
Bill's dead. You're not helping Bill out. Okay, he's not alive,
so he doesn't know you did this, So just forget
about that being part of it. And meanwhile, the other
factor in this Lebron jersey number situation is the people
that make the jerseys. There are so many Lebron jerseys
(18:11):
that are made that are available on the market at
any given time. Just think, if you travel to places
like I don't know, you can go throw darts at
a globe, spin the globe and then throw darts, and
you can go around and be like, Okay, I'm gonna
go visit Mongolia and or Uganda or El Salvador and
(18:31):
I will see number six Lebron James jerseys because they
got to get rid of those. They gotta get rid
of those, and so just send them far far away,
like they send that losing Super Bowl merchandise. Even though
they print T shirts for the team each team to win,
the one that loses, they send that to random places
like Congo. You can see a Lebron James number six
(18:54):
jersey in Congo if you want, all right now, page
to moving away from Lebron. Okay, Dame Lillard, Damian Lillard
continues to twist in the wind. I know you're worried
about that as well. You've got bills to pay, you
got crap you got to do in your life, and
you're worried about where Dame Lillard is going to end up,
but another weekend is now coming gone and not radio
(19:16):
silence because we did have a little noise on this,
but no transaction. We have had no transaction on Lillard
going here, there, or anywhere. And nobody is budging an inch,
not an inch, not an inch. At this point, the
stare down continues between the Heat and the Blazers, and
Lillard did post a little video on social on the
(19:40):
social media there over the weekend giving his thoughts on
how he felt about Portland. So, I don't know if
you saw this or not. Lillard commenting on Portlandia, what
did he say? He said, quote, you know it's all
love on my behalf. It's bulletproof, bullet proof for PDX. Baby,
(20:03):
you already know that was the declaration. Close quote from Lillard. Okay,
bulletproof love. So how should Blazer fans handle Dame Lillard
giving bulletproof love for Portland while also at the same time,
simultaneous is saying he wants to get as far away
from Portland as he possibly can literally geogray realize there
(20:26):
is nowhere further than the distance between Portland, Oregon and Miami, Florida. Nowhere.
So through the math on this so yeah, yeah, yeah,
this is not that hard, pretty straightforward in fact, to
figure out what Lillard's doing here. He's sending a bit
of conflicting information, but it's actually not that hard. Here's
why Lillard is worried about toyotas. Why is he worried
(20:48):
about Toyota's ergo selling toyotas. You see, he owns Damon
Lillard Toyota at mcmonville, Oregon. He's gotta sell cars. He
can't say, strew you, I hate Oregon. The people suck,
I don't believe in Bigfoot, and the weather's terrible and
(21:11):
your donuts blow. He can't say that. He's got cars
to sell. So he's like, oh, I love you guy,
a bulletproof love. By the way, would you like to
buy a Highlander? How about a Corolla? Would you like that? Yes,
I'll even put my name on the license plate frame.
Will that move the car? Yeah? Well, anyway, Lillar's trying
(21:32):
to thread a needle. He wants South Beach, but he's
also got to protect his business interest on the Oregon
Trail in the Pacific Northwest. And so here we are.
Now the word on the street is the heat their
off or as it stands right now, if you believe
the scuttle butt, and we always believe the scuttle bud,
is that there'll be a hodgepodge of Tyler hero Duncan Robinson,
(21:53):
the other not Nicola Jokic, Djovic is that his name.
I'd be the other guy, the other Nicola for Mia.
I don't even know who this guy is, but he
didn't play much. But four first round picks and three
first round pick swaps supposedly would be in the trade.
At this point, Portland would likely include some other spam
(22:13):
from their roster to facilitate the trade to Miami. All right,
final point, So some comings and goings in the NBA
that actually did happen, transactions that actually took place over
the weekend. The Suns continuing to try to throw slop
against the wall to fill out their roster as they
have decided to go top heavy with the big three
(22:36):
Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and then if you
include DeAndre eight in the top four, although DeAndre eight and,
after what he did in the playoffs last year, not
not exactly the top of the list. That nonetheless, Phoenix
agreeing to a contract with Bowl Bowl. That's right, the spawn.
(22:56):
If you're old, you know who minut Bowl is. Bowl
Bowl will be bowling in in Arizona, in the Valley
of the Sun. At the same time, while they were
welcoming Bowl Bowl, they were saying bye bye to Cameron Paine.
Pain is out second round pick and cash considerations to
San Antonio. The Son's got three second round picks back
(23:21):
in a convoluted trade with Orlando and San Antonio. Now
have the Suns. Have the Suns upgraded their roster with
Cam Paine leaving and Bowl Bowl coming inbound. So I
am shaking my head no on this one. I am,
(23:41):
And I'm never wrong about my NBA takes ever unless
I am. But no, I'm going no on this. And
I'm looking at that Sun's roster and Phoenix is doing
the slide in the glide is what they're doing right now.
It's a top heavy roster, as we said, with Booker,
Durant and Bradley Beale the rest of that rock even
with Bowl Bull, who's bounced around because normally he wears
(24:04):
out his welcome and they're like, hey, we're better off
without you. There's a stench when you're in the locker room.
Even though you're talented and you're tall and all that,
we'd rather have somebody else. But you look around, that
roster is firmly planted on the pet food aisle because
you've got Jordan Goodwin, Eric Gordon who's washed up, josh
A Koge Bowl, Boll, Drew u Banks, and some other
(24:28):
players who I've also not heard of. And you know
what that is. Kibbles and bits is what that is.
That is the rest of the Sun's rosters, kibbles and bits,
right on the pet food asle at your local grocery store,
right there. And they also should pick up a flea
bath because inevitably Durant, Booker and Bill, two of those
three guys will get hurt. So then you're gonna have
(24:51):
whoever's left. Maybe it's Booker and josh A Kogi and
bow Bowl for a good chunk of the regular season.
What could possibly go wrong? Sure? What could possibly go wrong?

Speaker 4 (25:10):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington, and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called up
on Game?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What is up on Game?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You ass along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Huschman
Zada and Super Bowl champion Yup, that's right, Plexico Birds.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
to Up on Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Hutschman
(25:40):
Zada and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
It's maller. How about that to the third degree? This
is one big Ben gets graileddal.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Loop tyreek Hill appeared on a podcast this weekend and
said he will break the two thousand yard mark this season.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Ben, do you think he can do it? Can he
do it? Yes? Will he do it? No? No, because
you gotta have to a healthy You gotta stay healthy,
and you've got to be fed the ball a ton.
He has to average. My math is correct. To get
to two thousand yards, you have to average one hundred
and eighteen yards per game, no bad games, no bad weeks.
(26:27):
He averaged this year one hundred yards per game in Miami.
That's a great divide. I don't think he can close
the great divide.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Next Patriot Safty Adrian Phillips was asked how firm mac
Jones's grip on the starting job is, and he went
into deflect mode kind of. He would only say that
mac is competing. Ben do you think there's any chance
that mac Jones isn't starting Week one?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, I think he needs Mark the full name. Got
to give him some opioids is what he needs. But no, listen,
yes there is a chance. Bill Belichick already benched mac
Jones last year. He's if you've done it in the past,
it's easier to do the next time. But the Patriots
would prefer mac Jones be the starter. However, they are
heading towards a crossroads because after this year they have
to decide whether or not they're going to pick up
(27:12):
the fifth year option for mac Jones. So it becomes
the problem. And Bailey Zappi is pretty much as talented
as mac Jones for the most part, without the pompous
a hole attitude that mac Jones often shows. So we'll see.
It's up to Bill O'Brien, the new offensive coordinator with
the Patriots to see what he can get out of
these guys next.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
There was a report this weekend that the Spurs may
be planning on a very conservative plan with Victor Wenbnyama.
That means lots of load management, no back to back games. Ben,
How do you think they'll go over with the league
when Wenby is one of the most marketable stars.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Well, Adam Silver will genuflec because that's what Adam Silver does.
But this is another byproduct of the modern NBA. So
here's night Chraine. It's too hard to play in the
The NBA was tougher thirty years ago when guys like
Kevin Garnett play. Kevin Garnett played, I think every game
are close to it. Dwight Howard. Also, it's the sign
(28:04):
of the times. How did we do you? Passes? That is?
I went, I want the guy, I want the game.

shoot me so our lead this hour as we start
(01:39):
out a new week together again, we've survived the weekend.
Congratulations and now back to the salt mine. We go
here slaving away over the red hot microphones of fs
ARE and our lead coming out of the transaction wire.
Who does not enjoy a nice transaction? So for seid
(02:00):
several months we have had regular Malard monologues about the
life and times of a certain free agent receiver. Considered
this likely our final, final obligatory Mallard monologue about the
job status of the Andre Hopkins, who was fired by
the Arizona Cardinals. They no longer needed his services. He
(02:22):
was available to whoever wanted him, and not many did,
not many did. If you've not heard over the weekend,
it came down the pike the announcement that dere Hopkins
had made his selection. And I know you're excited. You
I've not heard yet. Oh my god, this is so
exciting unless it's not. But we have learned that the
Andre Hopkins has agreed to terms on a contract with
(02:47):
the Titans. He's gonna have cowboy boots and a cowboy
He's gonna hang out with Klay Travis at Titan Games.
Our old buddy used to work here. They'll all schmooze together.
And he's taken his talents to the Music City. Good luck,
good luck on that Hopkins picked the flame Heads instead
of the Patriots. Could have gone played for the Pats,
(03:07):
said no, I don't want to be a Patsy. I'd
rather go hang out in Nashville, So he's doing that. Also,
this debunks the long standing rumor that DeAndre Hopkins was
merely waiting for Kansas City to open up salary cap
space and he was gonna slide on him to hang
out with Patrick Mahomes. That clearly was not the case.
(03:30):
And so how much are we talking about? Well, I
know you're very concerned about DeAndre Hopkins and his finances.
A little birdie says that he gets a two year
deal which could be worth up to fifteen million dollars
in the first year based on incentives. So fifteen million
dollars based on incentives. Of course, that's weasel terminology because rarely,
(03:54):
if ever, has a player ever hit all of the
incentives so factor that in so your analysis, let us
discuss the question. Put a grade on it. You gotta
put a grade on it. DeAndre Hopkins goes to the Titans.
It is all done now. So what is the grade
for Hopkins and the Titans on the malor report card?
(04:16):
DeAndre Hopkins gets a capital D. He's getting the D,
and the Tennessee Titans they end up getting a C. Whoo,
that's it. That's the report card. So I've got cronyism, allergies,
and dragon breath, and we will combine all of these
(04:36):
things together and we are going to make a headache,
which is what many Patriot fans Apparently they have this headache.
These Patriot fans are upset and they're annoyed by this.
But the Titans get the player. Are my friends listening
to Nashville giddy with excitement?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Are Nashville guys all fired up?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They think they're going to win a playoff berth because
DeAndre Hopkins is there. So a listen. DeAndre Hopkins has
been what he has been twisting in the wind is
what he has been doing. He's been twisting in the
wind over the last couple of months. Here. That's just
the way it is, the story's played out, Hopkins, he
is not getting what he wants. He is settling. DeAndre
(05:19):
Hopkins is settling, and he did not want to play
for either the Patriots or the Titans. But they're the
only ones that were knocking on his door, and they
were the ones texting and calling, and they didn't even
call that much. They didn't been text that much. And
so his squad was trying to facilitate interest from Kansas
(05:41):
City or somebody else who's better or at least supposed
to be better than the Patriots and the Titans. Obviously
that did not happen, and so here we are at
a crossroads and they were unable to speak it into reality,
and so it did not work. And now DeAndre Hopkins
taking his talents to the Titans. And so that's why
he gets the D because this is not a great situation.
(06:03):
He goes to a team that is a contender, but
only a contender because of the division they're in. Jacksonville's
not a guarantee to have a great team again. And
Houston blows his old team and the Colts will be
lucky if they can tie their shoes and not trip
over their shoes not tie them together as they get
(06:24):
out on the field. So by the process of elimination,
Tennessee is a contender, but they're really a full contender
because they're in the AFC. And you and I both
know you look around the AFC, got the big three,
Kansas City, who's out in front by several lengths, then Cincinnati,
and then after that a couple of lengths behind the Bengals,
you have the Buffalo Bills. So that's the top three,
(06:45):
and then you got a bunch of other teams in
the AFC that are pretty pretty good, and the Titans
are not on there. But you also have in Tennessee,
if you're DeAndre Hopkins, a team that is not built
around the passing offense. They are built around who the
super over Dereck Henry, Oh Henry. It's all about that.
That's that's the offense. Everything filters through the running game,
(07:08):
and Hopkins will catch some strays that he's the biggest
name receiver you've got there. There's nobody else of any
real value as far as name brand recognition is concerned
in Tennessee. And the other downside is you have Ryan
Tannehill throwing you the Duke trucking the ball at you.
Tennessee has been trying to replace this cat for the
(07:28):
last two years. They've drafted quarterbacks each of the last
two years and Ryan Tannehill, like a cocker roach, continues
on there in Tennessee. So far, they are zero for one.
We'll see if this year Will Levis is a success.
They drafted him. Of course not in the first round
because he wasn't picked in the first round. But anyway,
the Titans get a c On the other side, why
(07:50):
did the Titans get to see because they were able
to use cronyism to get the player. That's really what
this comes down to. Hopkins had a long standing relationlationship
with this guy named Tim Kelly, the offensive coordinat He
also knew Mike Vrabel. They were together in tennis in
Houston rather before those guys went to Tennessee, and so
(08:10):
they knew each other. It's again not what you know too,
you know the secret to life. It's just knowing a
lot of different people and they'd worked together. Now part
two of this, why did de Andre Hopkins reject New England?
It seems like it would make more sense for him
to go to New England in terms of high profile games,
(08:32):
in terms of lack of an elite player on the
offense anywhere around. So from a career standpoint, the Pats
definitely would have been better. This is a mistake by
deanre Hopkins. I hope he enjoys the food and all
the nice people of Nashville, because this will likely be
the last we hear of Hopkins. Now, there's no guarantee
(08:53):
he'd gone to New England it would have been any better.
But it's certainly set up better with the Patriots because
there is no alpha dog. It's an ensemble group. It's
an ensemble cast there in New England. And you've got
more high profile games. AFC East matchups, the Patriots versus
the Bills twice, the Jets and Aaron Rodgers twice, the
(09:14):
Dolphins twice. All of those games will get a little
extra juice, a little extra buzz. And the Titans match up.
Their big games are in the division against the Colts.
Who cares Texans, let me know who won. Maybe I'll
be interested. And Jacksonville, but you can't get up for
a Jacksonville, Tennessee game. You just can't get too excited
about that. It doesn't really move the needle, and that's
(09:37):
where we are. They're lacking juice. There's not a lot
of juice in those particular matchups. Plus Bill Belichick the
other factor here. The reason he didn't go to the Patriots,
you would think is the dogmatic nature of Bill Belichick
and the Patriots, the principles, the Patriot principles, if you will.
Has New England ever been a pursuer of free agents
(10:00):
where they really go out and spend a lot of money.
Now they're at arm's length pretty much. Right. If you
want to play in Foxborough, you have to be motivated
as a player. Furthermore, and you have to actually practice regularly.
That appears to be a problem for DeAndre Hopkins that
he's not interested in doing that, and that becomes problematic
(10:23):
allergies getting the way. This is an allergy situation. What
do I mean by that? Hopkins has been allergic to
putting in extra work with the Cardinals. Of course they
let him get away with that. Cliff Kingsbury the enabler
there in Arizona. What a dumb coach he turned out
to be for Arizona. We knew when he was having
social media breaks during team meetings that this was not
(10:44):
likely going to go all that well. It has not,
and that's why he is now back at the college
level at s. C. Cliff Kingsbury, trying to rework his
magic as a coach. But you look around there and
Hopkins does not apparently like to practice all that much.
And the last thing here, so now that DeAndre Hopkins
is off the board, hey go, there's still teams that
(11:07):
need help at the wide receiver position. We got to
update our scorecards now, So you update the scorecard. You
look around the question here on this one what is
left for the Patriots and the Chiefs looking to upgrade
the receiver position. So if you look around here and
you scan what you need to know, do first you
(11:28):
go to go down to like CBS Walgreens and get
some mouthwashed, because all of the available receivers have dragon breath,
all of them. Right, Julio Jones is available, he's done,
He's no longer an effective NFL receiver and he makes
no impact at age thirty four. Don't let a falling
(11:50):
star fall on you. We saw that in Tampa last year.
Kenny Galladay, who was good with the Lions a couple
of years ago, he can be yours if you want.
He's still out there on hard times. Last two years
with the Giants, he had just one touchdown combined the
last Tuesday led the NFL in touchdowns with the Lions
back in the day a couple years ago. And then
(12:10):
you look and say, like Nikhil Harry, who was a
first round pick of the Patriots, I'm sure the Patriots
will bring him back with open arms unless they wouldn't.
And I see Sammy Watkins who has yet to land anywhere,
Jarvis Landry, guys like that that can be yours at
the prices right. So again I go back to Dragon Breath.
That's what's out there. And DeAndre Hopkins. There's no guarantee
(12:33):
if I was betting, if you gave me one thousand
dollars a house money, that DeAndre Hopkins is going to
have a career renaissance in Nashville, or DeAndre Hopkins is
going to cause issues and not be all that productive
and likely get hurt. My money's on the ladder. That's
where my money is.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
A visit to the King Court. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are
in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as we are
on the public wheel, coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond, on the mast and uproarously powerful microphones of
(13:23):

sports climate change on a nightly basis. We are broadcasting

com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,

and our lead this hour coming from pro Bouncy Ball.
Are we going to bore you with an NBA Summer
Pro League monologue? Now? We are not going to do that.
Are we gonna lead off with dame time? Now? We
(14:04):
are not gonna do that. We will get to that
at some point, but not right now, not right now,
because the news never stops. The beat goes on and
on and on and on and on. Even in the
middle of July, for example, King James has filled the
donation box the Sports radio donation box. We thank it
(14:25):
for that providing us with marginal content to discuss here
on the radio show. If you did not hear over
the weekend the news came out, maybe you missed it
because I don't really care about numerical things. So we
learned that Lebron James will look much different. His uniform
will look much different next season. He has decided to
(14:49):
go back in time what's old is new again and
has said, you know what, I would like to add
another digit to my uniform. So he's gonna do exactly that.
Lebron's switching things up, going back to number twenty three
from his number six. That's the uniform number he wore
for fourteen of his twenty seasons in the NBA. Now,
(15:10):
Rich Paul commented on this, the number one Lebron Jacksniffer,
Rich Paul, give him credit, mad, He's made a lot
of money off Lebron man. Right if he didn't meet Lebron,
what would Rich Paul be doing right now? You know,
it might have been successful, but he wouldn't be as
successful as he's been as he hooked his wagon to
(15:31):
the Lebron train. True anyway, Rich Paul said that Lebron
has chosen to change his number out of respect for
Bill Russell. Yeah, okay, so let us discuss Lebron James
changing his uniform from number twenty three to number six
is blank. So I've got commandeering, toyotas and pet food aisle,
(15:58):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make an inflated ego, which my
man Lebron, he has that inflated ego, God bless him.
So number one, Yes, Lebron James changing his uniform number
is blank? How about unnecessary? How about insufferable? Those are
(16:23):
two words that I've come up with to describe what's
going on here. Now he's doing it out of really boredom.
I believe that is the case here that in that
little cartoon bubble over his head, as Lebron sits around
his resort style pool up there in bel Air, just
above our studios here where we broadcast from that, in
that little cartoon bubble over there in bell Air, he's
(16:45):
cooking up different ways he can create artificially, create a
little bit of bus keep the brand in the spotlight.
So my theory is Lebron has decided he wants to commandeer.
He's into commandeering Kobe's playbook. Now, some would say he's
our done that by wearing two different jersey numbers as
a Laker, but he wants to make sure he wants
(17:07):
any doubt to go out the window that when he's
done playing, he gets the full Lakers suck up package.
Because there's one thing the Lakers do almost as well
as anyone else other than the Celtics in basketball, and
that's retire jersey numbers. They're addicted to it. And so
by commandeering number twenty three again, you are helping to
(17:28):
cement the fact that you get the Kobe playbook treatment
and the Lebron setting himself up when he retires to
have the Lakers retire both number six and number twenty
three for him because number six is not retired. The
NBA didn't retire number six for Bill Russell. And by
the way, I hate to be the bearer of reality,
(17:48):
Bill's dead. You're not helping Bill out. Okay, he's not alive,
so he doesn't know you did this, So just forget
about that being part of it. And meanwhile, the other
factor in this Lebron jersey number situation is the people
that make the jerseys. There are so many Lebron jerseys
(18:11):
that are made that are available on the market at
any given time. Just think, if you travel to places
like I don't know, you can go throw darts at
a globe, spin the globe and then throw darts, and
you can go around and be like, Okay, I'm gonna
go visit Mongolia and or Uganda or El Salvador and
(18:31):
I will see number six Lebron James jerseys because they
got to get rid of those. They gotta get rid
of those, and so just send them far far away,
like they send that losing Super Bowl merchandise. Even though
they print T shirts for the team each team to win,
the one that loses, they send that to random places
like Congo. You can see a Lebron James number six
(18:54):
jersey in Congo if you want, all right now, page
to moving away from Lebron. Okay, Dame Lillard, Damian Lillard
continues to twist in the wind. I know you're worried
about that as well. You've got bills to pay, you
got crap you got to do in your life, and
you're worried about where Dame Lillard is going to end up,
but another weekend is now coming gone and not radio
(19:16):
silence because we did have a little noise on this,
but no transaction. We have had no transaction on Lillard
going here, there, or anywhere. And nobody is budging an inch,
not an inch, not an inch. At this point, the
stare down continues between the Heat and the Blazers, and
Lillard did post a little video on social on the
(19:40):
social media there over the weekend giving his thoughts on
how he felt about Portland. So, I don't know if
you saw this or not. Lillard commenting on Portlandia, what
did he say? He said, quote, you know it's all
love on my behalf. It's bulletproof, bullet proof for PDX. Baby,
(20:03):
you already know that was the declaration. Close quote from Lillard. Okay,
bulletproof love. So how should Blazer fans handle Dame Lillard
giving bulletproof love for Portland while also at the same time,
simultaneous is saying he wants to get as far away
from Portland as he possibly can literally geogray realize there
(20:26):
is nowhere further than the distance between Portland, Oregon and Miami, Florida. Nowhere.
So through the math on this so yeah, yeah, yeah,
this is not that hard, pretty straightforward in fact, to
figure out what Lillard's doing here. He's sending a bit
of conflicting information, but it's actually not that hard. Here's
why Lillard is worried about toyotas. Why is he worried
(20:48):
about Toyota's ergo selling toyotas. You see, he owns Damon
Lillard Toyota at mcmonville, Oregon. He's gotta sell cars. He
can't say, strew you, I hate Oregon. The people suck,
I don't believe in Bigfoot, and the weather's terrible and
(21:11):
your donuts blow. He can't say that. He's got cars
to sell. So he's like, oh, I love you guy,
a bulletproof love. By the way, would you like to
buy a Highlander? How about a Corolla? Would you like that? Yes,
I'll even put my name on the license plate frame.
Will that move the car? Yeah? Well, anyway, Lillar's trying
(21:32):
to thread a needle. He wants South Beach, but he's
also got to protect his business interest on the Oregon
Trail in the Pacific Northwest. And so here we are.
Now the word on the street is the heat their
off or as it stands right now, if you believe
the scuttle butt, and we always believe the scuttle bud,
is that there'll be a hodgepodge of Tyler hero Duncan Robinson,
(21:53):
the other not Nicola Jokic, Djovic is that his name.
I'd be the other guy, the other Nicola for Mia.
I don't even know who this guy is, but he
didn't play much. But four first round picks and three
first round pick swaps supposedly would be in the trade.
At this point, Portland would likely include some other spam
(22:13):
from their roster to facilitate the trade to Miami. All right,
final point, So some comings and goings in the NBA
that actually did happen, transactions that actually took place over
the weekend. The Suns continuing to try to throw slop
against the wall to fill out their roster as they
have decided to go top heavy with the big three
(22:36):
Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and then if you
include DeAndre eight in the top four, although DeAndre eight and,
after what he did in the playoffs last year, not
not exactly the top of the list. That nonetheless, Phoenix
agreeing to a contract with Bowl Bowl. That's right, the spawn.
(22:56):
If you're old, you know who minut Bowl is. Bowl
Bowl will be bowling in in Arizona, in the Valley
of the Sun. At the same time, while they were
welcoming Bowl Bowl, they were saying bye bye to Cameron Paine.
Pain is out second round pick and cash considerations to
San Antonio. The Son's got three second round picks back
(23:21):
in a convoluted trade with Orlando and San Antonio. Now
have the Suns. Have the Suns upgraded their roster with
Cam Paine leaving and Bowl Bowl coming inbound. So I
am shaking my head no on this one. I am,
(23:41):
And I'm never wrong about my NBA takes ever unless
I am. But no, I'm going no on this. And
I'm looking at that Sun's roster and Phoenix is doing
the slide in the glide is what they're doing right now.
It's a top heavy roster, as we said, with Booker,
Durant and Bradley Beale the rest of that rock even
with Bowl Bull, who's bounced around because normally he wears
(24:04):
out his welcome and they're like, hey, we're better off
without you. There's a stench when you're in the locker room.
Even though you're talented and you're tall and all that,
we'd rather have somebody else. But you look around, that
roster is firmly planted on the pet food aisle because
you've got Jordan Goodwin, Eric Gordon who's washed up, josh
A Koge Bowl, Boll, Drew u Banks, and some other
(24:28):
players who I've also not heard of. And you know
what that is. Kibbles and bits is what that is.
That is the rest of the Sun's rosters, kibbles and bits,
right on the pet food asle at your local grocery store,
right there. And they also should pick up a flea
bath because inevitably Durant, Booker and Bill, two of those
three guys will get hurt. So then you're gonna have
(24:51):
whoever's left. Maybe it's Booker and josh A Kogi and
bow Bowl for a good chunk of the regular season.
What could possibly go wrong? Sure? What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Hey, what's up, everybody?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington, and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called up
on Game?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What is up on Game?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You ass along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Huschman
Zada and Super Bowl champion Yup, that's right, Plexico Birds.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
to Up on Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Hutschman
(25:40):
Zada and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
It's maller. How about that to the third degree? This
is one big Ben gets graileddal.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Loop tyreek Hill appeared on a podcast this weekend and
said he will break the two thousand yard mark this season.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Ben, do you think he can do it? Can he
do it? Yes? Will he do it? No? No, because
you gotta have to a healthy You gotta stay healthy,
and you've got to be fed the ball a ton.
He has to average. My math is correct. To get
to two thousand yards, you have to average one hundred
and eighteen yards per game, no bad games, no bad weeks.
(26:27):
He averaged this year one hundred yards per game in Miami.
That's a great divide. I don't think he can close
the great divide.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Next Patriot Safty Adrian Phillips was asked how firm mac
Jones's grip on the starting job is, and he went
into deflect mode kind of. He would only say that
mac is competing. Ben do you think there's any chance
that mac Jones isn't starting Week one?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, I think he needs Mark the full name. Got
to give him some opioids is what he needs. But no, listen,
yes there is a chance. Bill Belichick already benched mac
Jones last year. He's if you've done it in the past,
it's easier to do the next time. But the Patriots
would prefer mac Jones be the starter. However, they are
heading towards a crossroads because after this year they have
to decide whether or not they're going to pick up
(27:12):
the fifth year option for mac Jones. So it becomes
the problem. And Bailey Zappi is pretty much as talented
as mac Jones for the most part, without the pompous
a hole attitude that mac Jones often shows. So we'll see.
It's up to Bill O'Brien, the new offensive coordinator with
the Patriots to see what he can get out of
these guys next.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
There was a report this weekend that the Spurs may
be planning on a very conservative plan with Victor Wenbnyama.
