Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, and there is
widespread neurosis among NFL fans. Why are Betters going goga
for Chicago Ara's quarterback Justin Fields to win the MVP.
What do you think of the NFL rejecting Lions coach
(00:22):
Dan Campbell's idea to have live mascots on the sidelines.
And how do you assess Bill Belichick refusing to name
Mac Jones the Patriots starting quarterback. He was given the opportunity.
We'll talk about all that and much more right now here.
It is our number four. They are not hibernating, at
(00:49):
least the public is not hibernating well gome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malers Show. We
are in the ad everywhere audio dwellers, as we stand
firm on what's right, coast to coast, border to border
(01:12):

hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers, ty rack
dot com, the Way tire Buying Shooty in our lead
this hour, coming from the NFL. It's a hop skipping
to jump around the NFL. We'll start with the gambling market,
the gambling market. Now tomorrow the exhibition season kicks off
(01:57):
the Jets one and a half point favorite over the
Brown in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio,
the hallowed grounds of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
just across the way there, So that the Hall of
Fame game. But this story, it's from the gambling market.
Comes out of the Windy City, comes out of the
(02:18):
Windy City, A stunner from down on in Chicago. There
the envp odds always a fun topic of conversation. So
if you saw this, you might know what I'm talking about.
But maybe you didn't see. Might not be a gambler.
Maybe you're a gambler, but you don't bet on this
kind of thing, so that makes money. The people's choice
(02:41):
to win the Most Valuable Player award in the NFL
by a wide margin, a quarterback for the Bears named
Justin Field. Say what, Yes, that's what we've been told
here that Justin Fields is the people's choice to win
the twenty twenty three Most Valuable Player Award. We are
told that Fields has more bets at one of the
(03:03):
big books to win the Most Valuable Player of the
Year award than quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Josh
Allen combined. Hello, yeah, so let us discuss the question
on this one. Why give me the why? Why are
(03:23):
betters going crazy for Justin Fields in the MVP race?
They're going gaga for Justin Fields? Why is that not
Lady Gaga? Just gog So I've got German fairy Tale,
Jackie Moon and tongs and we will combine all of
(03:43):
these things together and we are going to make a
gatorade shower, is what We're going to make, big shower
of gator rade. Now to lead off the festivities here.
This has become a right of passage this time of
the year. Has anyone else notice him? I'm i the
only one that's noticed this the last five years or
(04:04):
so in the NFL, there is inevitably this time of
the year, right around the beginning of the exhibition season
in the NFL, where someone or some team becomes the
darling and everyone's running to the betting window or their
smartphones to put a bet down. So the lesson on
(04:26):
this is how easily manipulated the low information fan is. Now,
I love gambling. I have done Benny versus the Petty
on radio and the internet for years and sometimes I
do well, sometimes I don't. I love gambling. What I
hate is dumb gamblers. Can't stand them because they make
(04:47):
us all look bad, makes all look bad. Right, and now,
even if you know what you're doing and you do
your research, you're still probably gonna lose, but at least
you lose with your head on straight. It's the people
that just are reactionary and frivolous that drive me to neurosis.
And there's so many more people out there like that.
(05:09):
It bothers me. And this is a great example, This
justin Field story a wonderful, wonderful example because the manipulation
to the low information fan, it goes down very smooth,
like Tennessee whiskey, very smooth, And it's like a modern
day German fairy tale, is what it is. Rumpel Stiltskin. Right,
(05:29):
let me give you the plot here. I'm explaining what
the plot is of the way the manipulation works. So
some powerful blow hard with a big platform gets on
the microphone or in front of the camera or both
and can literally turn straw into gold by the morning.
And that's what's happening here. There was a very prominent
(05:52):
ESPN personality that has been hyping up Justin Fields, and
he and several others have been doing that, and here
we have the fruit of their labor. A lot of wagers, right,
they over sell Justin Fields. Who, let me check my notes.
Here was the worst quarterback in the NFL at throwing
(06:13):
the football last season. One quarterbacks that played all season
had the lowest completion percentage in the NFL. Don't even
close in terms of players and their ability to complete passes.
And so everyone's just giving him a mulligan. They're like, well,
it's everyone else's fault and it's not his fault. And
so the low information fan, the uneducated fan, gets taken
(06:35):
to the cleaners. They get taken for a ride, and
they seem to enjoy it because they're putting their bets down.
They're going crazy for Justin Fields. And of course the
gambling houses laugh all the way to the bank. As
the saying goes there on Wall Street, get that dumb money,
and there's nothing better than dumb money. They want dumb money,
(06:55):
and they're getting their dumb money. So man, let me
give you here the analysis. Justin Fields will not win
the MVP Award in twenty twenty three for three reasons. A.
He's a horrific passer. Even if he gets better, he's
not going to be able to close the gap. B
The Bears aren't going to win enough games to be
(07:17):
an MVP. With few exceptions, you have to be on
one of the top tour or three teams in the NFL.
The Bears are not going to be one of the
top tour three teams in the NFL, so that's a problem.
The third problem here is unless I missed it, Patrick
Mahomes and Joe Burrow are still playing, So those other
guys are still out there. So you got big problems
(07:39):
if you're Justin Fields. In order to win the MVP.
If the Bears have a winning record, that would be stunning.
If the Bears have a winning ring, I know the
division stinks, the Vikings are average and the Lions are average,
and the Packers are supposed to be bad. I get that,
but the Bears, man, even with the moves they made.
It's good afternoon, good evening, and good night. And now
(08:01):
turn to the page. So let's go down to Detroit.
Stay in that NFC North, we go to the MotorCity.
Good story here, Dan Campbell, the man that will eat
your kneecap off. Dan Campbell had another great quote, a
follow up to something that he had talked about in
the past. Now I don't know if you saw this
one or not, but Dan Campbell popped up on the
(08:24):
Pardon My Take podcast and he stated that the owner
of the Detroit football team, Sheila Ford hamp had signed
off had given her blessing to Dan Campbell's idea to
have a lion, a live lion on the sidelines, churing games, well,
(08:51):
the lion would be in a cage. But yeah, the
king of the jungle right there in a cage on
the sidelines in Detroit. What's not the like? And Campbell
revealed that even though the owner gave her blessing, it
was the league office that hit the inject button on
(09:12):
that and said, no, you cannot do that. You're not
allowed to have a live lion. I don't care if
you go to Africa and get it yourself. You can't
have the lion on the sidelines. You're not allowed to
do that. So what do you think? Here's the question,
what do you think of the NFL putting the kebash
on Dan Campbell's live mascot plan in the NFL? So
(09:33):
I will say this, it is hypocritical of the NFL.
Here's why there are teams that are allowed to have
live mascots on the sidelines. Have you ever watched the
New England Patriots game. They got those guys with muskets.
Those are Patriots. They have live mascots on the sideline.
Minnesota Vikings used to have that guy with the motorcycle.
All right, what about that? The Raiders live mascot? So
(09:58):
how come they're allowed? And these are the teams are
a lot And my position is Dan Campbell marketing Maven.
Dan Campbell marketing Maven. He missed his calling. And Roger
Goedell and the other big shots there at the NFL
and the league office, they're in that Park Avenue bubble
there in Manhattan. So I say, give the unwashed what
(10:19):
they want, Give the unwashed what they want. The unwashed
want this, what a wonderful thing. Imagine social media go
out to the Lions game. Today you can put a
photo on Instagram with an actual lion. How amazing would
that be? People be lining up around the stadium to
take photos for the social media with these live animals.
(10:40):
And so the the Malard think Tank activated, maltherthink Tank activated.
We like to alert all affiliates the Malar think Tank
has been activated. And I would like to see mascot madness.
Not only should the NFL reverse their position on an
anti live mascot position, they should go the other direction
(11:01):
and fully embrace it. Okay, I want this to be
like Jackie Moon and you know, go full Jackie Moon
back in the day and the Miami Tropics and bring
in Victor the wrestling Bear for the Chicago Bears. You
can have a wrestling bear there and at halftime fans
can wrestle like check Copic, the old sportscaster did with
(11:23):
a bear, which actually happened at an Aba game back
in the day. But I think every team should put
their mascot out, a live mascot and just turn the
gridiron into the serengetti and you'd have lions and bears
and jaguars and rams, and you'd have of course the
Colts and the Broncos would be out there running around,
(11:46):
running free. The Panthers would run amok. Over there, you'd
have actual bison. How great would it be your billski? Now,
why don't you have a buffalo? You have one in Colorado.
You got a bunch of buffalo in Colorado. Put a
live buffalo on the sideline. Imagine going to a Ravens game.
You see a raven's nest with an actual raven right there.
And then the Cardinals could get an actual Cardinal. Put
(12:09):
that in the stadium. The Falcons, the New York Jets
could have a real jumbo jet in the end zone.
How sweet would that be? You score a touchdown, you
run to the cockpit. That'd be awesome, be amazing night.
The forty nine ers can have someone trying to find
gold with a metal thing, a metal ball. Put that
(12:29):
out there. Why not? I don't know what the Cleveland
Browns would do. They just have a bag of poo
or something like that. It's a live mascot deuce just right.
The Buccaneers, don't they already have a pirate ship. They do, right,
they already have that cover. They're in Tampa. They've got
that the Chargers could just have an electrician as their mascot.
(12:51):
They could put somebody out there as a Union tradesman electrician.
The Houston Texans could just have an actual Texan and
you can go down. You can play the game all
you want. But I think it's a great idea. I
love it. I rubber stamp it wonderful. Just make that.
Just get that through legal, through the legal department at
the NFL. Now, the parting shot on this, say go
(13:13):
to Houston. We go from Detroit to Houston, and then
we go down to Fix or up to Foxburg rather
from Houston. So we go up to Foxburg, Bill Belichick.
I continue to be fascinated by the mind of Bill
Belichick as he continues to feed the content machine for
struggling overnight gas bags and blowhards. So Bill Belichick was
(13:35):
given the opportunity by one of the Patriot Beat reporters
to announce to the world once and for all, there
is no quarterback controversy in New England that Mac Jones
is going to be the Patriots daughter. What did Bill
Belichick do? Did he a say, yes, you are correct
that Mac Jones is going to be our quarterback. Did
(13:56):
he say that b did Bill Belichick you have no
comment or see Bill Belichick gave a non answer answer.
The answer would be see Belichick declined the opportunity. When
asked that, Belichick responded, quote, everybody is out here competing.
(14:19):
Everybody is out here competing. That's what everybody is doing.
Close quote So how do you assess Bill Belichick refusing
a direct question to name Mac Jones the starter? So
this is standard chow. Bill Belichick has a spiritual gift
he does. It involves tongues or a tongue. He speaks
(14:44):
in tongues or that's what I'm getting at here, some
unknown language which is his proprietary blend that Belichick is
mastered here. And we know that he's a great war historian.
He loves the history of combat. His father was a
military person there, his early days were spent in Annapolis,
and so we know that about Belichick and one of
(15:07):
the people that anybody who you ever if you ever
come across anybody in the military who's like really into
the military, and you bring up the name sun Zo
Art of War, bam right, And Belichick loves the sun
Zoo stuff, the arti war stuff, and his approach to
deception and never give a straight answer and never tip
(15:29):
your hand and all that stuff. But it is pretty
apparent at this point, barring mac Jones going up and
literally puking in a bucket right at midfield, he's going
to be the starter for the Patriots, that there's no
real quarterback controversy. That Bailey Zappi, who's supposedly done, okay,
he's hanging out just in case Mac Jones takes a
(15:50):
ride on a vomit comet and then Bailey Zappi will
be able to buckle in there. But it's clear though
that mac Jones does not have a total choke hold
on the gig. It's just that he's currently leading the race.
It is the Ben Maler Show. If you would like
to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six
(16:12):
nine and a story right out of Home and Garden,
the Home and Garden section. We'll get to that and
we'll do it next.
Speaker 2 (16:23):

Speaker 3 (16:48):
At Ali from the tyrak dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios,
It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The collateral damage of Baseball's trade deadline. You can now
eliminate the New York Mets if they ever were a
serious contender for show Halo tys. So that's good news
for the Angels. So like the Mets, if these reports
are accurate that they're not trying to win next year,
why would they spend a billion dollars on Sho hal Tani.
(17:16):
That'll make a lot of sense. But we began this
hour with a football heavy Mallard monologue as we talked
about Justin Fields and the public money, the Joe public,
Joe fan loading up on Justin Fields. He is getting
a majority of the wagers on the MVP race in
(17:36):
the NFL before a game is played here, it says
a great piece on live mascots in the NFL. But
you forgot to mention one team, the Tennessee Titans have
a live ancient Greek Titan as well. That's good. See
I liked that. I wasn't sure what to do with
the Titans, but yeah, that's a great idea. What you
need to do is contact Elon Musk and the people
(17:57):
over there at X and get one of those time
travel machines, because Elon Musk is like a lizard person.
He's got like a time travel thing, and then you
can go back and get an actual Greek Titan. I'm
talking full Greek with the you know, the old school
Titan with the sword and the sandals, you know that
they wore and all that, like the fig leaf to
(18:18):
cover their junk in the whole thing, and just knock
yourself out, have a great time. It's goll to the phones.
We had a got complaining here. Rick in Minnesota would
like to file a formal complaint.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Hello Rick, Hello Ben, how you doing well?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't know you're about to complain here, Rick, I'm
concerned about that.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Oh well, what did What I want to complain about is? Uh?
I would I would really love to step into the
octagon with pick them with poppies. The guy he's an
annoyance and uh, I'm just trying to be one to
step up in print his place.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So you see, we'd like to uh theoretically you would
like to poke him in the eye, is what you
would like to do on the d of course, no
physical violence, but it would be verbal violence. Well, I
would love to do the octagon if Poppy is up
for now. Poppy just usually runs away from these things.
He does not like to engage in these things.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
But another thing I want to tell you, I got
a new name for him. I mean, I really, I mean,
the guy really annoys me. I got a new name
for him. Yeah, pick him with.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Poopy, peg it with poopy. Come on, poop poop poop,
pigging with poopy. He yes, yeah. Now Robbie the Merrier
fan disagrees with you, because Robbie said that he is
his bank roll has gone through the roof. What he
does is he noticed that Poppy apparently does not actually
watch the UFC, or if he does, he doesn't pay attention.
Like every one of his UFC picks has been wrong.
(19:42):
I don't think he's gotten one right in the years
he's called the show so just bet against him and
you'll do pretty well. But I will next time tomorrow.
I'm sure he'll call calls every day, this guy Poppy,
he won't leave me alone. So tomorrow when he calls up,
I'll try to remember Rick to bring this up that
you would like to get into the octagon, and they
will be up to him and if he says yes,
then we'll try to do it on the Friday show
(20:02):
Thursday and Friday. Okay, okay, all right, all right, Now,
what are your credentials? Rick? Are you trained professional assassin
and ninja?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Not so all I do.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
I mean, I'm just the type of guy. I mean, hey,
I like to put people in your place night when
I think they're running when you're annoying.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
All right, well that's good. We have a lot of
annoying people, so you'll have a lot of work on
the show. So yeah, all right, thank you, thank you
very much, Rick, good luck, and we'll let you know what.
Keep listening tomorrow. We'll see what Poppy has to say.
There goes our friend Rick in Minnesota. Let's go to
Tony in the Bay Hello, Tony in the Bay Area.
Welcome Tony.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Hey, how you doing man?
Speaker 1 (20:43):

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Because I'm drunk, so I want to know how.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh okay, well if you're drunk, man, I'm living I'm
living large. I just got paid the company. He actually
sent me Colin Cowhard's paycheck instead of my paycheck. Wait
till Cowherd finds out he got my paycheck. Hell's gonna happen, rain, down,
fire and all that. So what are we drinking today?
What are we drinking tonight?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Let's not worry about that. But the guy who just
called in, I give him props because I hope he
I hope he whoops his whoops? What's that guy's names?
Ass in the octagon?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
What's the guy's name?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Who that guy?
Speaker 4 (21:30):

Speaker 5 (21:30):
That guy's a joke man.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Not a fan of Poppy?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Hell?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
No, is anybody a fan of Poppy?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Have you had any dreams recently that you want to
share with the class Tony dreams?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
But uh, I do got a I I was driving
to the liquor store and then when I turned on
the radio, I heard you badmouthing the Bearers. I don't
understand how that's your second favorite team and you're bad
mouthing him.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, No, I'm not a Bears fan.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Not's your saying, can that's your second.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
People have accused me of being a well I'm a
Rams fan, and then people say I'm a Patriots apologist
because I always talk about the Patriots. I do like
the pat Patriot mascot. I do like that mask.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
But your second your second team is Bears.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That's a lie. And by the way, what are you drunk?

booze when you're drunk? What are you stupid?

Let's not get into that.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
But uh, well that's okay, that's what Coop told me.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Uh so, so Coop's causing trouble over there. Okay, but
uh the thing is is you said you would be
a Bears fan if you were in a Rams fan,
So that means that you're No.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I told his story when I was a little fat
kid and the Bears had a fat guy that scored
a touchdown on the Super Bowl. He did the Super
Bowl shuffle. That was a big deal to me when
I was a little kid.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
So you're still You're still a little fat kid.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
So well, I will always be a fat kid fan.
That's one of the reasons. No, I'm not a Bears
you're putting words in my mouth.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
No I'm not.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Don't put words in my mouth.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
You said your favorite player was William Perry when.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
When I was a kid. Yeah, I'm not a kid.
I'm old. I guess I don't know it happened.

No, I'm on your team. You can't punch me in
the nose.
Speaker 5 (23:20):

bad mouthing the Bears and I don't.

Okay, that's a bad choice, but you didn't have a
good choice. So we have a list of words, and
if you can see the words, you're cheating. So don't
do that. Go play for the astros. If you do that,
pick a number one to ten, one to ten, please, Dave,
you were on the air first, so go ahead. Number five,
number five, number five. All right, let's go. Let's see here,
(33:20):
how about Uh, let's see if I can use this
hole secure. I'm asking the judge here. The judge is
giving me a stone faced look here, Coop.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
I mean, I guess it's a it's a hyphenated word.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
It is a hyphenated word that is allowed hyphenated words.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
It's a terrible clue. But you can go ahead and
do it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Well, No, now I'm not gonna do it. Uh see,
because now you said that. How about hmmm, see now
you screwed me up. Screwed me up. I mean you
messed me up with that because he said number five.
So try it now, I'll change it up. I'll go
see that's not good either. How about boss, Yeah, your
(34:09):
fight work and worked up. Good job by your day.
Great job, Great job, Dave. I got the word was leader. Woh,
I was going a completely different direction. Good job, Dave.
All right, Jeremy, you were up picking up talk the coop.
Thank you, good job, good judge, Coop. Finally you're coming
around after all these years, Coop, it took you a while.
(34:29):
Go ahead, Jeremy, picking number one to ten, but not five.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Please number one.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
You didn't say that right, say it right? Number one? Yeah,
there you go, a right, go ahead, let's go. This
is easy. Come on doing malar maneuver.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
No, let's go hatch Hatch what now?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
No, hatch mallard maneuver. Dave? Do you know what the
mala maneuver is? Dave? Okay, here we out, Here we go. Oh,
I say, my headphones are stuck. Already, here we go.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Why are you standing up for the.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
What do you it's no charades?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Here we go, Dave. Listen, I'm channeling me. I'm connecting
my mind with Davey's stuck in traffic. Man. Here we go, front.
Speaker 9 (35:23):
Front, front, No, you didn't connect, did not connect?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
All right, go back, Daddy, go ahead, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
All right. So my first clue was hatch with an age.
How about how about portal?
Speaker 6 (35:48):
M portal?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
He's still trying to get the front one. We need
an answer, Jeremy on your way to Chicago. All right,
Well back up here, Dave, let's go with uh entrance.
What do you say? Yeah, that's a good job by you.
(36:14):
See I said front, that was front door. I know,
but you got that one right, and I think that's
eight points, so it's it's only seven started with any
right on that one, yeah, I don't know whatever, seventeen nothing,
that's a big thing. And we got we get to
go again there, Dave. So pick a number, not one
or five, but anything else up to ten.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
How about three?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Number three? All right, let's see here, let's go with
hurry up, what come down? Let's go about twilight?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
No, all right, gotta have it, gotta have it nocturnal.

You are such a dirty cheese. I am not I
could have could have had another shot.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Congratulations day you won the game back Cheating Us
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Day.
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, and there is
widespread neurosis among NFL fans. Why are Betters going goga
for Chicago Ara's quarterback Justin Fields to win the MVP.
What do you think of the NFL rejecting Lions coach
(00:22):
Dan Campbell's idea to have live mascots on the sidelines.
And how do you assess Bill Belichick refusing to name
Mac Jones the Patriots starting quarterback. He was given the opportunity.
We'll talk about all that and much more right now here.
It is our number four. They are not hibernating, at
(00:49):
least the public is not hibernating well gome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malers Show. We
are in the ad everywhere audio dwellers, as we stand
firm on what's right, coast to coast, border to border
(01:12):
and beyond. On the mast and monumentally powerful microphones of

meridian of sports gapp. We are broadcasting live from the
tyraq dot com studios. Tyrack dot com will help you

(01:33):
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers, ty rack
dot com, the Way tire Buying Shooty in our lead
this hour, coming from the NFL. It's a hop skipping
to jump around the NFL. We'll start with the gambling market,
the gambling market. Now tomorrow the exhibition season kicks off
(01:57):
the Jets one and a half point favorite over the
Brown in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio,
the hallowed grounds of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
just across the way there, So that the Hall of
Fame game. But this story, it's from the gambling market.
Comes out of the Windy City, comes out of the
(02:18):
Windy City, A stunner from down on in Chicago. There
the envp odds always a fun topic of conversation. So
if you saw this, you might know what I'm talking about.
But maybe you didn't see. Might not be a gambler.
Maybe you're a gambler, but you don't bet on this
kind of thing, so that makes money. The people's choice
(02:41):
to win the Most Valuable Player award in the NFL
by a wide margin, a quarterback for the Bears named
Justin Field. Say what, Yes, that's what we've been told
here that Justin Fields is the people's choice to win
the twenty twenty three Most Valuable Player Award. We are
told that Fields has more bets at one of the
(03:03):
big books to win the Most Valuable Player of the
Year award than quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Josh
Allen combined. Hello, yeah, so let us discuss the question
on this one. Why give me the why? Why are
(03:23):
betters going crazy for Justin Fields in the MVP race?
They're going gaga for Justin Fields? Why is that not
Lady Gaga? Just gog So I've got German fairy Tale,
Jackie Moon and tongs and we will combine all of
(03:43):
these things together and we are going to make a
gatorade shower, is what We're going to make, big shower
of gator rade. Now to lead off the festivities here.
This has become a right of passage this time of
the year. Has anyone else notice him? I'm i the
only one that's noticed this the last five years or
(04:04):
so in the NFL, there is inevitably this time of
the year, right around the beginning of the exhibition season
in the NFL, where someone or some team becomes the
darling and everyone's running to the betting window or their
smartphones to put a bet down. So the lesson on
(04:26):
this is how easily manipulated the low information fan is. Now,
I love gambling. I have done Benny versus the Petty
on radio and the internet for years and sometimes I
do well, sometimes I don't. I love gambling. What I
hate is dumb gamblers. Can't stand them because they make
(04:47):
us all look bad, makes all look bad. Right, and now,
even if you know what you're doing and you do
your research, you're still probably gonna lose, but at least
you lose with your head on straight. It's the people
that just are reactionary and frivolous that drive me to neurosis.
And there's so many more people out there like that.
(05:09):
It bothers me. And this is a great example, This
justin Field story a wonderful, wonderful example because the manipulation
to the low information fan, it goes down very smooth,
like Tennessee whiskey, very smooth, And it's like a modern
day German fairy tale, is what it is. Rumpel Stiltskin. Right,
(05:29):
let me give you the plot here. I'm explaining what
the plot is of the way the manipulation works. So
some powerful blow hard with a big platform gets on
the microphone or in front of the camera or both
and can literally turn straw into gold by the morning.
And that's what's happening here. There was a very prominent
(05:52):
ESPN personality that has been hyping up Justin Fields, and
he and several others have been doing that, and here
we have the fruit of their labor. A lot of wagers, right,
they over sell Justin Fields. Who, let me check my notes.
Here was the worst quarterback in the NFL at throwing
(06:13):
the football last season. One quarterbacks that played all season
had the lowest completion percentage in the NFL. Don't even
close in terms of players and their ability to complete passes.
And so everyone's just giving him a mulligan. They're like, well,
it's everyone else's fault and it's not his fault. And
so the low information fan, the uneducated fan, gets taken
(06:35):
to the cleaners. They get taken for a ride, and
they seem to enjoy it because they're putting their bets down.
They're going crazy for Justin Fields. And of course the
gambling houses laugh all the way to the bank. As
the saying goes there on Wall Street, get that dumb money,
and there's nothing better than dumb money. They want dumb money,
(06:55):
and they're getting their dumb money. So man, let me
give you here the analysis. Justin Fields will not win
the MVP Award in twenty twenty three for three reasons. A.
He's a horrific passer. Even if he gets better, he's
not going to be able to close the gap. B
The Bears aren't going to win enough games to be
(07:17):
an MVP. With few exceptions, you have to be on
one of the top tour or three teams in the NFL.
The Bears are not going to be one of the
top tour three teams in the NFL, so that's a problem.
The third problem here is unless I missed it, Patrick
Mahomes and Joe Burrow are still playing, So those other
guys are still out there. So you got big problems
(07:39):
if you're Justin Fields. In order to win the MVP.
If the Bears have a winning record, that would be stunning.
If the Bears have a winning ring, I know the
division stinks, the Vikings are average and the Lions are average,
and the Packers are supposed to be bad. I get that,
but the Bears, man, even with the moves they made.
It's good afternoon, good evening, and good night. And now
(08:01):
turn to the page. So let's go down to Detroit.
Stay in that NFC North, we go to the MotorCity.
Good story here, Dan Campbell, the man that will eat
your kneecap off. Dan Campbell had another great quote, a
follow up to something that he had talked about in
the past. Now I don't know if you saw this
one or not, but Dan Campbell popped up on the
(08:24):
Pardon My Take podcast and he stated that the owner
of the Detroit football team, Sheila Ford hamp had signed
off had given her blessing to Dan Campbell's idea to
have a lion, a live lion on the sidelines, churing games, well,
(08:51):
the lion would be in a cage. But yeah, the
king of the jungle right there in a cage on
the sidelines in Detroit. What's not the like? And Campbell
revealed that even though the owner gave her blessing, it
was the league office that hit the inject button on
(09:12):
that and said, no, you cannot do that. You're not
allowed to have a live lion. I don't care if
you go to Africa and get it yourself. You can't
have the lion on the sidelines. You're not allowed to
do that. So what do you think? Here's the question,
what do you think of the NFL putting the kebash
on Dan Campbell's live mascot plan in the NFL? So
(09:33):
I will say this, it is hypocritical of the NFL.
Here's why there are teams that are allowed to have
live mascots on the sidelines. Have you ever watched the
New England Patriots game. They got those guys with muskets.
Those are Patriots. They have live mascots on the sideline.
Minnesota Vikings used to have that guy with the motorcycle.
All right, what about that? The Raiders live mascot? So
(09:58):
how come they're allowed? And these are the teams are
a lot And my position is Dan Campbell marketing Maven.
Dan Campbell marketing Maven. He missed his calling. And Roger
Goedell and the other big shots there at the NFL
and the league office, they're in that Park Avenue bubble
there in Manhattan. So I say, give the unwashed what
(10:19):
they want, Give the unwashed what they want. The unwashed
want this, what a wonderful thing. Imagine social media go
out to the Lions game. Today you can put a
photo on Instagram with an actual lion. How amazing would
that be? People be lining up around the stadium to
take photos for the social media with these live animals.
(10:40):
And so the the Malard think Tank activated, maltherthink Tank activated.
We like to alert all affiliates the Malar think Tank
has been activated. And I would like to see mascot madness.
Not only should the NFL reverse their position on an
anti live mascot position, they should go the other direction
(11:01):
and fully embrace it. Okay, I want this to be
like Jackie Moon and you know, go full Jackie Moon
back in the day and the Miami Tropics and bring
in Victor the wrestling Bear for the Chicago Bears. You
can have a wrestling bear there and at halftime fans
can wrestle like check Copic, the old sportscaster did with
(11:23):
a bear, which actually happened at an Aba game back
in the day. But I think every team should put
their mascot out, a live mascot and just turn the
gridiron into the serengetti and you'd have lions and bears
and jaguars and rams, and you'd have of course the
Colts and the Broncos would be out there running around,
(11:46):
running free. The Panthers would run amok. Over there, you'd
have actual bison. How great would it be your billski? Now,
why don't you have a buffalo? You have one in Colorado.
You got a bunch of buffalo in Colorado. Put a
live buffalo on the sideline. Imagine going to a Ravens game.
You see a raven's nest with an actual raven right there.
And then the Cardinals could get an actual Cardinal. Put
(12:09):
that in the stadium. The Falcons, the New York Jets
could have a real jumbo jet in the end zone.
How sweet would that be? You score a touchdown, you
run to the cockpit. That'd be awesome, be amazing night.
The forty nine ers can have someone trying to find
gold with a metal thing, a metal ball. Put that
(12:29):
out there. Why not? I don't know what the Cleveland
Browns would do. They just have a bag of poo
or something like that. It's a live mascot deuce just right.
The Buccaneers, don't they already have a pirate ship. They do, right,
they already have that cover. They're in Tampa. They've got
that the Chargers could just have an electrician as their mascot.
(12:51):
They could put somebody out there as a Union tradesman electrician.
The Houston Texans could just have an actual Texan and
you can go down. You can play the game all
you want. But I think it's a great idea. I
love it. I rubber stamp it wonderful. Just make that.
Just get that through legal, through the legal department at
the NFL. Now, the parting shot on this, say go
(13:13):
to Houston. We go from Detroit to Houston, and then
we go down to Fix or up to Foxburg rather
from Houston. So we go up to Foxburg, Bill Belichick.
I continue to be fascinated by the mind of Bill
Belichick as he continues to feed the content machine for
struggling overnight gas bags and blowhards. So Bill Belichick was
(13:35):
given the opportunity by one of the Patriot Beat reporters
to announce to the world once and for all, there
is no quarterback controversy in New England that Mac Jones
is going to be the Patriots daughter. What did Bill
Belichick do? Did he a say, yes, you are correct
that Mac Jones is going to be our quarterback. Did
(13:56):
he say that b did Bill Belichick you have no
comment or see Bill Belichick gave a non answer answer.
The answer would be see Belichick declined the opportunity. When
asked that, Belichick responded, quote, everybody is out here competing.
(14:19):
Everybody is out here competing. That's what everybody is doing.
Close quote So how do you assess Bill Belichick refusing
a direct question to name Mac Jones the starter? So
this is standard chow. Bill Belichick has a spiritual gift
he does. It involves tongues or a tongue. He speaks
(14:44):
in tongues or that's what I'm getting at here, some
unknown language which is his proprietary blend that Belichick is
mastered here. And we know that he's a great war historian.
He loves the history of combat. His father was a
military person there, his early days were spent in Annapolis,
and so we know that about Belichick and one of
(15:07):
the people that anybody who you ever if you ever
come across anybody in the military who's like really into
the military, and you bring up the name sun Zo
Art of War, bam right, And Belichick loves the sun
Zoo stuff, the arti war stuff, and his approach to
deception and never give a straight answer and never tip
(15:29):
your hand and all that stuff. But it is pretty
apparent at this point, barring mac Jones going up and
literally puking in a bucket right at midfield, he's going
to be the starter for the Patriots, that there's no
real quarterback controversy. That Bailey Zappi, who's supposedly done, okay,
he's hanging out just in case Mac Jones takes a
(15:50):
ride on a vomit comet and then Bailey Zappi will
be able to buckle in there. But it's clear though
that mac Jones does not have a total choke hold
on the gig. It's just that he's currently leading the race.
It is the Ben Maler Show. If you would like

we'll do it next.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
At Ali from the tyrak dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios,
It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The collateral damage of Baseball's trade deadline. You can now
eliminate the New York Mets if they ever were a
serious contender for show Halo tys. So that's good news
for the Angels. So like the Mets, if these reports
are accurate that they're not trying to win next year,
why would they spend a billion dollars on Sho hal Tani.
(17:16):
That'll make a lot of sense. But we began this
hour with a football heavy Mallard monologue as we talked
about Justin Fields and the public money, the Joe public,
Joe fan loading up on Justin Fields. He is getting
a majority of the wagers on the MVP race in
(17:36):
the NFL before a game is played here, it says
a great piece on live mascots in the NFL. But
you forgot to mention one team, the Tennessee Titans have
a live ancient Greek Titan as well. That's good. See
I liked that. I wasn't sure what to do with
the Titans, but yeah, that's a great idea. What you
need to do is contact Elon Musk and the people
(17:57):
over there at X and get one of those time
travel machines, because Elon Musk is like a lizard person.
He's got like a time travel thing, and then you
can go back and get an actual Greek Titan. I'm
talking full Greek with the you know, the old school
Titan with the sword and the sandals, you know that
they wore and all that, like the fig leaf to
(18:18):
cover their junk in the whole thing, and just knock
yourself out, have a great time. It's goll to the phones.
We had a got complaining here. Rick in Minnesota would
like to file a formal complaint.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Hello Rick, Hello Ben, how you doing well?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I don't know you're about to complain here, Rick, I'm
concerned about that.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Oh well, what did What I want to complain about is? Uh?
I would I would really love to step into the
octagon with pick them with poppies. The guy he's an
annoyance and uh, I'm just trying to be one to
step up in print his place.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So you see, we'd like to uh theoretically you would
like to poke him in the eye, is what you
would like to do on the d of course, no
physical violence, but it would be verbal violence. Well, I
would love to do the octagon if Poppy is up
for now. Poppy just usually runs away from these things.
He does not like to engage in these things.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
But another thing I want to tell you, I got
a new name for him. I mean, I really, I mean,
the guy really annoys me. I got a new name
for him. Yeah, pick him with.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Poopy, peg it with poopy. Come on, poop poop poop,
pigging with poopy. He yes, yeah. Now Robbie the Merrier
fan disagrees with you, because Robbie said that he is
his bank roll has gone through the roof. What he
does is he noticed that Poppy apparently does not actually
watch the UFC, or if he does, he doesn't pay attention.
Like every one of his UFC picks has been wrong.
(19:42):
I don't think he's gotten one right in the years
he's called the show so just bet against him and
you'll do pretty well. But I will next time tomorrow.
I'm sure he'll call calls every day, this guy Poppy,
he won't leave me alone. So tomorrow when he calls up,
I'll try to remember Rick to bring this up that
you would like to get into the octagon, and they
will be up to him and if he says yes,
then we'll try to do it on the Friday show
(20:02):
Thursday and Friday. Okay, okay, all right, all right, Now,
what are your credentials? Rick? Are you trained professional assassin
and ninja?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Not so all I do.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
I mean, I'm just the type of guy. I mean, hey,
I like to put people in your place night when
I think they're running when you're annoying.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
All right, well that's good. We have a lot of
annoying people, so you'll have a lot of work on
the show. So yeah, all right, thank you, thank you
very much, Rick, good luck, and we'll let you know what.
Keep listening tomorrow. We'll see what Poppy has to say.
There goes our friend Rick in Minnesota. Let's go to
Tony in the Bay Hello, Tony in the Bay Area.

Hey, how you doing man?
Speaker 1 (20:43):

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh okay, well if you're drunk, man, I'm living I'm

fire and all that. So what are we drinking today?
What are we drinking tonight?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Let's not worry about that. But the guy who just
called in, I give him props because I hope he
I hope he whoops his whoops? What's that guy's names?
Ass in the octagon?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
What's the guy's name?
Speaker 3 (21:28):

Speaker 4 (21:30):

Speaker 6 (21:34):

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Have you had any dreams recently that you want to
share with the class Tony dreams?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
But uh, I do got a I I was driving
to the liquor store and then when I turned on
the radio, I heard you badmouthing the Bearers. I don't
understand how that's your second favorite team and you're bad
mouthing him.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, No, I'm not a Bears fan.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Not's your saying, can that's your second.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
People have accused me of being a well I'm a
Rams fan, and then people say I'm a Patriots apologist
because I always talk about the Patriots. I do like
the pat Patriot mascot. I do like that mask.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
But your second your second team is Bears.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That's a lie. And by the way, what are you drunk?
What are you driving to the liquor store to buy
booze when you're drunk? What are you stupid?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Let's not get into that.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
But uh, well that's okay, that's what Coop told me.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Uh so, so Coop's causing trouble over there. Okay, but
uh the thing is is you said you would be
a Bears fan if you were in a Rams fan,
So that means that you're No.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I told his story when I was a little fat
kid and the Bears had a fat guy that scored
a touchdown on the Super Bowl. He did the Super
Bowl shuffle. That was a big deal to me when
I was a little kid.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
So you're still You're still a little fat kid.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
So well, I will always be a fat kid fan.
That's one of the reasons. No, I'm not a Bears
you're putting words in my mouth.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
No I'm not.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Don't put words in my mouth.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
You said your favorite player was William Perry when.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
When I was a kid. Yeah, I'm not a kid.
I'm old. I guess I don't know it happened.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
So you're old enough to get punch in the nose.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
No, I'm on your team. You can't punch me in
the nose.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
You're not. You're not on my team because you keep
bad mouthing the Bears and I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Get it, because what are you a Bear? You're not
a bearssan? What do you care about the Bears? You're
not a Bears fan.

you were on the air first, so go ahead. Number five,
number five, number five. All right, let's go. Let's see here,
(33:20):
how about Uh, let's see if I can use this
hole secure. I'm asking the judge here. The judge is
giving me a stone faced look here, Coop.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
I mean, I guess it's a it's a hyphenated word.

see that's not good either. How about boss, Yeah, your
(34:09):
fight work and worked up. Good job by your day.
Great job, Great job, Dave. I got the word was leader. Woh,
I was going a completely different direction. Good job, Dave.

around after all these years, Coop, it took you a while.
(34:29):
