Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, per four.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Our four is out the door here of the podcast,
and we talk football the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
What did you make of Justin.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Fields ranking himself a top five running quarterback in NFL history?
It's only played a couple of years, he says, I'm
already one of the all time greats. And why are
the Patriots the betting favorite to get Dalvin Cook? And
was Dak Prescott misquoted? He did a monologue about this,

(00:37):
Dak Prescott talking interceptions? Was he misquoted? Well, examine that
story as well, that and much more. Have a wonderful
day to day. But thank you for listening here. It
is our number four. I consider myself the greatest of
all time.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Ha, why welme?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
In the beginning of an other hour of the Ben
Malor Show, we are in the a.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Eywhere hand in.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Glove as we wheel and deal coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and stupendously powerful
microphones of FSR emmating live from the casino. Life is
a casino? How do you play your chips? That guy, Frank,

(01:32):
If you're listening last hour Frank in Vegas, dominating too
much or not very impressive.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
First time ever.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Beginner's luck for Frank, who works at one of the
nice properties there in Vegas. So our lead this hour
coming from the Windy City. Never a bad time to
talk about the worst team in the NFL and until
proven otherwise, the Chicago Bears. They got the worst record,
worst record last ye's why they ended up with the

(02:01):
number one draft pick. They traded that away. But our
lead does come from the second city. If you did
not hear, maybe not. This has been bouncing around the
echo chamber of sports chatter and I do not want
to miss out on any amazing content. So here we are.
So Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. If you missed it,

(02:22):
justin Fields of the Bears. He believes that he is
one of the five best running quarterbacks. None of this year,
not the last five years, how about of all time?
Forever and ever and ever and ever?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Say what? Yeah, well feels to be fair?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
He was asked he was asked to list the top
five rushing quarterbacks in a recent podcast interview, and he
named himself. He named himself. The first rule of douchebaggery
is naming yourself when you're asked to make a list.
We of course do not do list radio. We only

(03:09):
do big boards. We do not do list. We do
big boards.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
So he named himself.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Fields also named Mike Vick, Lamar Jackson, Steve Young, and
Cam Newton.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
So those are the five greatest running quarterbacks of all time.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
So let us discuss the question, what do you make
of Justin Fields the Bears ranking himself as one of
the all time great rushing quarterbacks in the NFL, despite
the fact he's only played a couple of seasons. So
I've got trumpet, binkie, and biohazard cleanup, and we are

(03:44):
gonna combine all of these things together and we are
going to make hot dogs because hot dogs are perfect
in the summertime. And then we'll get some potato chips
on the side. It'll be absolutely wonderful. So to kick
off this diatribe about Justin Fields of the Bears, Okay,

(04:05):
this answer, I'm gonna go predictable as the answer. I'm
going to go predictable as the answer. And Fields was
told that he could include himself on the list, so
he didn't just do it on his own, although he
said he would have anyway. He said he did not
need the invitation to put himself in that all time

(04:27):
rarefied here now having played at the Ohio State University,
Justin Fields here is taking a page out of the
best damn band in the Lands songbook. Blowing his own
trumpet is what Justin Fields is doing on this one.
He's touting the old trumpet right there, passing over legendary

(04:51):
rushers Randall Cuttingham for example, if you're old enough to
remember before my time, Fran Tarkington, Steve McNair was a
solid running quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. In a different ear,
Cordel Stewart terrible passer but a very good dynamic runner slash.
But what he lacks, mister Fields, in throwing pedigree. He's

(05:14):
one of the five worst quarterbacks of all time if
you look at some of the numbers he's put up,
at least in the modern era of the NFL. So
what he lacks in the ability to throw the duke
he makes up for in confidence. He does Justin Fields
attempting to still establish himself. This is a premature take

(05:34):
by Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
His rushing ability is obviously the meat and potatoes of
his game, and he is wonderful. For the sizzle reel,
The sizzle reel of Justin Fields amazing, right amazing, And
just make sure you don't look at the throws. Leave
the throws aside. Now we've got big time Chicago Bear apologists.

(05:58):
Got a fair amount of peace people now that listen
to the show in Chicago, Guys like Eugene in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
We've got Bears.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Fans all over the Upper Midwest, Chris and Des Moines,
for example. And some of these guys are reasonable, but
a lot of Bears fans they are so diabolical when
it comes to the Chicago Bears that anything even mildly
seen as a slight at Justin Fields you need to
be bludgeoned. They run to defend Justin Fields. It's fascinating.

(06:29):
Now here's the deal. The Bears punted on the number
one pick in the draft. They gave it away. They
had the number one pick, which meant that they could
have had any of the quarterbacks that were just drafted
right last April in the NFL draft. They said, we
don't want any of those guys. And while Justin Field's
rushing abilities is wonderful, it's only been a couple of years,
and as good as it is, he's the opposite that

(06:51):
he's like a Pop Warner level throwing quarterback, which is
kind of a big deal. He's again historically terrible. It's
a problem. It's a big problem. And the other issue
even more so than the poor ability to throw the football,
and this is something that will be a bigger detriment
to Justin Fields than anything. He has no side eye vision,

(07:16):
the internal clock. That's been the big thing. His lack
of avoiding sacks. Everyone always blames the fat guys on
the offensive line for sacks. And we're getting close to
football season a couple months away here and training camps
underway now around the NFL. But so many times the
sack is because the quarterbacks a boob and makes the
wrong decision, doesn't get rid of the ball quick enough.

(07:36):
And Justin Fields is at the all time top of
that list.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
All right now.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Furthermore, moving on from that, we go now to the Patriots,
who are in the Sporting News again. The Patriots missed
out on de Andre Hopkins. He hops skipped and jumped
his way over to Tennessee to hang out with the Titans.
Now the Patriots have moved on up the big board.
They are now considered a legitimate landing spot for another

(08:03):
free agent NFL player.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
What is this all about?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, the team currently listed as the betting favorite to
sign forer Minnesota Viking running back Dalvin Cook. The Patriots,
Holy Regina and Minnesota spendsyc of Regina.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
I can't believe it. Why are the Patriots?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Why are the Patriots the favorites for Dalvin Cook? So
two words budget friendly, budget friendly. That's what I'm going
with here. The running back market has been deflated. We've
talked a lot about that. I see some of our newbies.
It is a newbie night on Hold. They want to

(08:48):
talk about the running back market. But it's a deflated market.
And that has to be why. Bill Belichick's like, wait
a minute, this is great. We can get a running
back here. We don't have to spend a lot, but
people will say good by you. And it's music to
the ears of Bill Belichick as he runs around on
his boat in Nantucket having a grand old time. But really,

(09:12):
if Dalvin Cook went to the Patriots, he would be
the pat Binkie, He would be the pacifier to the
angry mob of Patriot backers who are upset because the
Patriots have had a pathetic roster building season. Unless you
like special teams, gunners and moves like that does not

(09:34):
go so well. So the gambling market is a pretty
good indicator of which way the wind is blowing. And
our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook a fine sponsor of this
show over the years. They know a thing or two.
They don't just willy nilly put the numbers up. They
got inside information. So the Patriots are favored right now

(09:56):
over the Dolphins, the Jets, and the Broncos. So is
the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
So the positives on mister Cook twenty seven years old,
so he's not crossed the rubicon at age thirty, So
you got that going for you. He's coming off four

(10:17):
seasons of one thousand yards or better. A thousand yards
isn't that great because they play seventeen games, But fine.
The negatives are that Dalvin Cook has crossed over the
fifteen hundred touch threshold, and that's when things pop up.
You get increased.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Bacteria, decreased productivity. It becomes a problem.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
The Patriots have serviceable running backs from Andre Stevenson, who's
not chopped liver, he's all right. And Ty Montgomery he's
bounced around a little bit. He's there hanging out. It's
not an area of weakness.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
It is not.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
So we still have, for what it's worth, the Dolphins
as the favorite. I'm not buying, with all due respects
to our friends at DraftKings. I think the Dolphins if
the offer is similar Dalvin Cook say, Florida guy is
a Miami guy, that would be where he would want
to end up. I think just common sense. So why
would you go to the Patriots if it's about the
same and the tax situation is much worse in Massachusetts

(11:16):
than it is in Florida, So you get even more
money by going to the Dolphins. All right, parting shots,
So let's go back to a topic we talked about
in a previous episode of the show, the Dak Prescott
quote heard round the NFL world, The quote he says,
I won't have ten interceptions this year. It still has life.

(11:38):
Now why does it still have life? Because the Dallas
Cowboys are now claiming that Dak Prescott was wait for it.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Miss quoted. Ooh, the plot thickens. So what is this
all about?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, the prov of the news service of Jarry Jones.
The Cowboys website says that Dak Prescott said tipped interceptions,
not ten interceptions.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
He said he want to have ten tipped.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Interceptions, apparently was what he was saying. So was Dak Prescott.
Was Dak Prescott misquoted on the interception talk? So we
were not there. You weren't there, I wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
We don't really know for sure. At the time.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
We talked about this the other day, said that's kind
of an outrageou quote because pretty much every year Dak
Prescott has played a full amount of games, he throws
at least ten interceptions. So it's kind of an outrageous statement.
So I understand that part of it. But the idea
that the Cowboys would use their website, they'd weaponize their
website here, I just find that amusing.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
He is not surprising.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
A lot of NFL teams, a lot of sports teams
do it, and there are many fans that don't be
They don't really care, and they just liked it. They're
being fed a study diet of bull crap from the
team team's website.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
They love that. You know, you're just that's propaganda.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
But it's pretty good that the Cowboys now are running
interference for dak dot Cowboys dot com, the Dallas Cowboys website,
Dallas Cowboys dot Com. There they're working as a biohazard
cleanup unit here. Not that it really matters, because again,
the people reaching out to that website, the people reading
the Dallas Cowboys website are already.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Drinking the kool aid. You're the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
You're preaching to the choir. Rather circumscise. Circumcise a mosquito
is what I would would rather do than read that.
And they're already on the dak prescott wagon. It is
the Bean Mahler Show. You want to comment on any
of that, you can join us. Big stories here, the
running back get together. They're they're holding a conclave the
running backs via text message. And I love the over

(13:49):
the top this is. It's like, it's like we're talking
about teachers salaries. We must get more money for our
running backs. That this is one of the great disasters
of modern times. It's just wonderful. It is so out
of touch. It is great.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
It is delicious that so many dumb people in the
media are running around saying this was not right.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I can't support the NFL. We need our running box
to get our money. Okay, I'll watch more NFL games. Okay,
come on, so stop with that. And in these show
Heyo Tani rooms. Yankees are in last place. They lost
again last night. Worst Yankee team at this point in
the season in a generation. These are your daddy's Yankees.

(14:30):
These are the early nineties Yankees. The way they're playing
right now.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
How bad?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
How bad is it? Well, this not exactly brain surgery.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
The first time I heard the show, she was talking
and I was I walk in a grocery store and
I was just down the aisle, rolling in the middle
of the floor.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I got it all over me.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
There's a little Jeanie called For years, I thought originally
Genie was fake. I did not think that was a
real human being. It turned out that it was a
real person. And she told wild stories about how she
had had affairs with Pittsburgh Steelers players.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
In like the nineteen seventies.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
You lived in Compton, all kinds of ridiculous stuff. Now
you are not that far away, by the way, in Colorado.
There you could eat over in Denver three locations. There's
a mallar food item on the menu there. You are right,
You're right there in the in the region where you can.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
Have I don't like going up north, and I hate
the big city.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
But hold on, let me let me tell you. If
you ever decide you want the big city.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Mallard's bread and chicken sandwich there on the menu at
the Sportsbook Bar and Grill in Denver three locations if
you ever decide to do that. I guess we got

Yeah, can you call it?

Speaker 6 (17:52):

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Can you hold on? Can you call it? Can you
call it Mallard's chicken Sandwich?

Speaker 7 (17:58):
Then sure?

Speaker 6 (17:59):
Okay, anyway, ilse call and give you a hard time
about Eddie and the cookies. But you were talking about
the soldier that uh defected to North Korea.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well, to be fair, I don't know much about it.
I just saw the headline. I said, Boy, that's a
wild place to defect. That's I mean, that's what I
only saw the headline, So I don't know much about it.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
Yeah, he was being escorted back to the States for
disciplinary action, and he slipped away from whoever was escorting
him and boarded a bus that went along the DMZ
and he just walked across the line.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
I guess they figured nobody would.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Do that, nobody, he didn't have it well guarded.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
But there's one guy that would do it.

Speaker 8 (18:41):
Eddie.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
We found the guy. We found the guy.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Yeah, I'm just curious on what kind of trouble he
was in to make him defect the North Korea.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, yeah, big trouble apparently.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
How was the grass greener on the other side is
quite the Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (19:00):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's a wild story though.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's one of the all time stories of all all
the places to defect too.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
That's yeah, man. All right, well, thank you, Rick, thanks
for listen all these years. I appreciate it. Butod thank you.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
And my cook my cookies are great. By the we
don't listen to Eddie. Those are wonderful cookies.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
About the cookies, just give him a cookie. It's a cookie.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
No, he's a he's a douche with the cookies. You
don't trash another man's cookie. And I've learned from this.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Let me tell you something, okay, Rick, I've had Chris
Purfett the other day.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
He was giving me tips. He said, those are good cookies.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
But he was telling me that I need to cook
him like Tammy and Montana was complaining about the cookie.
Like listen, either you take the cookie. If you like it,
that's great. If you don't like it, keep your mouth shut.
How about that?

Speaker 6 (19:43):
That's true?

Speaker 1 (19:44):
All right?

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Shut up, all right, I think you're right. Go away
a right Rick in Colorado, Let's say who do we
have here? Who else do we Let's go to Josh,
who's in San Diego, my old stomping grunts, Hello, Josh, welcome.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
Hey, what's have been?

Speaker 6 (20:01):
So?

Speaker 7 (20:03):
I was asking you a question about your favorite moment
with the Hacktaw and as you were answering it, some
out of the line got disconnected and that it ended abruptly,
and I heard you on the air say I really
wanted to tell him this thing. And then anyways, so
let's finish that.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
Question, all right?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
So I didn't understand the question. There's a lot of
ambient noise on the connection. So what was the question again?

Speaker 7 (20:28):
And I was sorry, I'm probably in a bad area,
but anyway.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Oh no, no, no, I can I can confirm not probably,
I can confirm you're in a terrible area.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's what I can confirm.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
So so I asked you on New Me Night, h
what was your favorite moment about Lee Hacktaw?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh, Lee Hacksaw Hamilton, Yes, the man that was my mentor.
I was an intern for Lee Hacksaw Hambleton. Sure, I
love I love Hacksaw h. Well, I I learned a
lot about actions, but obviously a lot about radio.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
The way that I do the show. I'm gonna put you.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
On hold because I'm gonna I'm gonna want to punch
you if I leave that noise on, and I don't
want to punch you.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
But uh yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Hacksaw was a big radio star in San Diego, did
afternoon drive for years. He had this thing called Hacksaw's
Headlines and all that.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
But I learned so much.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
My favorite Hacksaw story, though, among many, was he would
interview the star player that he was the Charger play
by play guy. This is back in the like the nineties,
and they'd have like Dan Marino would come in with
the Dolphins and they'd play.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
They'd play the Chargers, and.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
So Hacksaw would take sound bites off of a conference call.
Every week in the NFL, I think they still do this.
They'd have the opposing coach and the opposing star quarterback
or back in those days, maybe a running back that
would talk to the opposition opposition media, and so Hacksaw
would record this stuff and he he would interview the

(22:01):
other team's playing. It wasn't an actual one on one interview.
You didn't know that the way he cut it up.
He was a master editor of that. And I also
remember Lee Hamilton. Anytime there was like an F one
driver who got into a crash in Italy or wherever,
and I would have to sit. This is in the
days before the internet, This's how long ago this was,
and I'd have to sit in the newsroom which had

(22:23):
on one side the sports ticker and on the other
side they had the AP news wire, and I had
to sit there and wait for an AP news break
that the guy dropped dead and dropped it because he
was an accident, and then I had to run that
into hacksaw so he could give the news.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
He loved reporting on death.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
Love that.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
But anyway, but I have nothing bad to say about it.
He was very nice to me. I'm still friends with him.
I've had him on my podcast a few times. He's
got his own YouTube thing. In fact, Lee Hamilton still
does a website. He does his headlines every day on
his website, which is out there, so he's still still
doing it all these years later.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
It is the real quick I wanted to say.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yes, I was on a media conference call when the
La Kings signed or traded for Pere Luke du Bois,
and all of a sudden, I can forget that, And
all of a sudden, who popped up.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
A question like whoa what ese Hecksaw doing in there?

Speaker 6 (23:19):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, he was always on those things and I and
then when I left him as an intern, and I
became a reporter for the station in San Diego, but
it was a superstation border blaster, so I covered the
LA sports scene for the station in San Diego because
they covered all the southern California, and Hacksaw would reach
out to me, have you heard anything Rookie in the

(23:41):
locker room trade rumors? He always wanted to like the
dirt And I was very proud. I covered the Clippers
and there was a rumor that Loy Vaught was going
he was a basketball player for the Clips at the time,
and that the Rockets were interested when they had great teams,
they were interested in Loivat and Hackshaw went.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
With that, and I was very proud of that.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
And Lloyd of the Clippers actually came up to me
and because he had heard it as well, So are.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
You the one that told them that? You know that'll do?

Speaker 8 (25:42):
If you if you're a cook, if you're cooked, and
you splice some onions and you can air fry your onions,
and then you can then you can put the air
fried onions on top of some salmon and you can
air fry red onion salmon and it's so good.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Sounds pretty good, and sounds healthy.

Speaker 8 (26:02):

come up with that on your own?

all over.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
I've enjoyed it. There you know what, I'm sick and
tired of these sports teape. These these players wanted more money,
demanding more money. These running backs, they all signed their huh,
their contract as far as the union agreeing to the
uh yeah top you know the uh getting the top

(28:06):
five wages and everything. Well, you signed it, play it.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, they're argument, But their argument is everyone else's salaries
have gone up except the running backs.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
They're like, what about us.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I mean, everyone else is making more money, We're making
less money.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's not fair. They're complaining about that.

Speaker 10 (28:24):
Oh, they can complain till the till cows come home
and everything. Go out there, play the damn game, like
you signed up to play, and then you can talk
about your money. But right now you're not doing it. Uh,
the contract says this is what you got. You get
to play for ten and a half million, ten point
two million. Come on, man, you can make it.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
You know, with taxes, depending on what state you're in,
that might only be four million dollars by the time
you play your taxes.

Speaker 10 (28:51):
Well that's true. But yeah, once again, you chose to
go to that state and everything that.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Well, maybe not, maybe you got drafted by the team.
You didn't choose to get the millionaire's tax in that
state or whatever.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Maybe you chose to play somewhere else. You want to
play where the taxes are lower.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
