of our podcast. Hope all is well with you. Thank

doesn't mean a lot to us. And here in our
number one, we talk about the big news in the NFL.
What is your position on Anthony Richardson getting the starting
(00:21):
gig as a rookie with the Colts. Also, do you
believe Trevor Lawrence is already one of the all time
great quarterbacks according to Doug Peterson? That is the cases
coach in Jacksonville. And what does Kyle Shanahan's statement about
brock Purty really mean for the Niners. We'll talk about
that and more right now here it is we start
(00:42):
out with our number one, a brain spanking new Colt.
Well kind of a welcome in the beginning of another
edition of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the

(01:46):
Hope all as well with you can be that pad
you're listening to this so couldn't be worse. So some
would say this is the worst. I don't know. It's
up to you to decide. But our lead this hour
coming from the grid, the moving and shaking as we
come in here and take a look at the big
headlines of the day. A quarterback battle has ended. That's exciting, No,
(02:11):
not exciting. You're not excited by this bad job by you.
If he didn't hear about it, maybe not. We blew
the lead here, We gave it away right away. But
we've learned that Anthony Richardson, who Anthony Richardson guy, hardly
played college football and now he's been given the keys
to the castle as he is now going to be
the starting quarterback for the Colts. Sir Richardson beating out
(02:35):
my guy Minshew many Gardner, Minshew who will be the
backup Shane Steichen, Who's that is apparently the coach we're
told of the Colts making the announcement that it is
official Richardson will be the starting quarterback when they kick
off here in early September when Indy opens up the
regular season against Jacksonville. The prized first round PA will
(03:00):
be leading the huddle. So let us discuss the question
on this one. The question is what is your position
on Anthony Richardson getting the starting gig for the Colts.
So I've got Boiling Cauldron, day Spa, and Grand Canyon,
(03:20):
and we will combine all of these random things together
and we are going to make some raw garlic, which
I've been sucking on the last forty eight hours. And
by the way, let me tell you something. You might
think I sound like crap, but without the garlic, I
wouldn't even be here. So thank the power of the garlic.
But anyway, hey, let's start with this. The Anthony Richardson
(03:43):
starting quarterback position for the Colts gets the Mallards Seal
of approval. And I know that matters to Jim, irsay,
it matters to the Colts. To get the Mallard's Seal
of approval. Now, that does not mean that I believe
that Anthony Richardson's going to be good. I think he'll
be lousy. I think he'll suck out loud. It'll be
a bag of puke. But you still gotta play him.
(04:04):
You gotta play him. So good job by Ursay and
the Colts putting him out there. You need to know
what you have. You don't know what you don't know
by you know, you don't get better by not playing.
And what about Mahomes. Mahomes and Kansas City, he didn't
start right away. They had Alex Smith. Yeah, okay, yeah,
And I would argue that Mahomes was a prodigy and
(04:26):
would have been fine if he had started from from Jumpstreet.
And you'll never know either way because he didn't. So
there's plenty of examples if you want. It's it's one
of those things where you look at the examples to
fit your argument. I can find a bunch of quarterbacks
that played right away were fine. There's a bunch that
played right away and are selling insurance, so that that
(04:48):
does happen. But Richardson is like he's like undercooked fish
and I don't like fish, but undercooked fish. He just
has to get a lot of reps to think that
this guy horned swaggle. The NFL teams Anthony Richardson to
draft him in the top five, in this case the Colts.
Here when Richardson had less than four hundred passes attempted
(05:13):
for the Florida Gators. That is bupkus. That is absolute buppcus.
And you don't know how it's gonna, you know, gonna
go as far as the the undercooked fish in Richardson,
you know how it's gonna taste and all that stuff.
But we have long been supporters. I've asked I've been
asked this every year we have a new crop of
quarterbacks that come in, and my answer has been very consistent.
(05:37):
I like the sink or swim technique. You toss them
out into the ocean and see if they are buoyant
or not and whether these young quarterbacks, these first round picks,
are able to get it done. But Richardson is going
into the boiling cauldron, if you will, the baptism by fire,
(05:58):
And he said he was quote shocked, that was the
word he used. By the news, which is confusing. It
is confusing to me. I don't know if it's confusing
to you, because why would you be shocked you were
a top five pick and there's no incumbent quarterback there.
The guy that was there last year, Matty Ice, is
(06:20):
now doing television at CBS. And then you look around,
it's like, what are we doing? Did number four pick
in the draft? It is going to be so repulsive
to start the year for Indianapolis. I mean, they're gonna
have to run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run run.
So this year is essentially a throwaway season for the
(06:42):
Colts and Shane Steichen, the head coach that came over
from Philadelphia. Imagine that we'll see a lot of the
tushy pushy which he had in Philadelphia, and they'll bring
that to Indianapolis and that should be an amazing play
for Anthony Richardson. That they'll copy the play on short
yardede situations that Philadelphia did with Jalen Hurts. But other
(07:05):
than that, I don't get it. I don't We'll see
all right now, turning the page. Now in Jacksonville, the
Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson, he was laying it on
thick extra frosting extra frosting for Doug Peterson, and he
(07:26):
was helping Trevor Lawrence here, he said. Talking to reporters
this week, Doug Peterson claimed that Trevor Lawrence is already
in the upper echelon of quarterbacks, not just in the
NFL right now, but all time. Say why, yeah, that's
Doug Peterson pumping up the tires on Trevor Lawrence. He
(07:49):
praised Lawrence's confidence, says it's incredible and that his leadership
ability stood out and all that. But do you believe
Let me just ask you this, do you believe that
Lawrence is already one of the all time great quarterbacks
in the NFL? And I am shaking my head. No,
I am shaking my It's kind of obbyus. No, right,
(08:11):
does any I know anyone that thinks other than of
your last name is Lawrence, or you happen to have
a small ownership stake in the Jacksonville Football Club that
you would say, hey, we agree, and I like Trevor Lawrence.
But I also realized, wait a minute, here, we're voting. No,
(08:34):
the jury is still out on Trevor Lawrence. And he
was amazing last season seemed to get better as the
year went on for Jacksonville outstanding. But regardless of that,
to be an all time great, I think you have
to be on the old assembly line, not the Model
TA assembly line, but you have to continue a year
(08:55):
after year. And one thing that is as clear as
vodka is that Doug Peterson with these comments about his quarterback,
he went to the day spa and he didn't just
go for the cheapest item at the day spa, na Na,
He went Manny Petty and he said, no, loofa, I'll
(09:17):
just use my tongue and I'll give a tongue bath
to my quarterback, Trevor Lawrence. And that's what appears to
have happened here. And again we think Lawrence is really good,
not one of the all time greats, but what do
we know? All right, last we're here, So let's go
now to northern California, the Bay Area. They say they're
(09:40):
they're San Francisco forty nine ers, but they don't play
in San Francisco. They play down the road anyway. Brock Party,
he has a Chokeoal Brock Party on the forty nine
ers starting quarterback job. That is not my opinion, that
is a fact. Quote bouncing around from Kyle Shanahan asked
about whether or not party will continue to be the
star arding quarterback coming off an injury, surgery and all that.
(10:03):
Shanahan giving the great quip that has bounced all over
the place, Kyle Shannon said he would have to melt
in practice to lose it, and Brock's too good of
a player to melt in practice. Yeah, that would be
that would be something. But I think melt he means
like flop sweat, right, that flop swat when you fall
(10:25):
apart and all that. But the question on this one
and the team doctors there for the Niners have cleared
Purty to practice back to back days, so everything is
surprisingly heading towards him playing. And did not see that
on my chart when we heard he had surgery, and
(10:45):
he said, this guy named Roberto used to be here
we were talking about there. He's not gonna play, he'll
miss some games, but it appears that he is actually
gonna play. So what does Kyle Shanahan's statement about Brock
Purty really mean? Is there a deeper meaning part the
words as we are known to do here. It is
an indictment of Trey Lance, is what it is. It's
(11:07):
an indictment of Trey Lance. And the forty nine ers
could have slow walked brock Party on the return because
he had the operation. However, they're not doing that, and
the reason why they're not doing that, you can blame
the Grand Canyon if you want. There is such a
massive gap, a hole in the ground there between brock
(11:28):
Party and Trey Lance that the Niners are not even
gonna masquerade and pretend and play, make believe that they're
gonna go with Trey Lance. And there's chat of the
Trey Lance won't even be the backup quarterback. He's gonna
get beat out by Sam Darnold. Say what, Yeah, Now
you talk about a new low and the forty nine ers,
(11:49):
they traded three first round draft picks. Now, I don't
have a problem trading three first round draft picks. I
f them picks, but you gotta get more than Trey Lance.
And this guys a bum. The guy's a bum. They
traded a third round pick and three first round picks
and the Dolphins they've monetized those picks. But that doesn't
(12:10):
mean the forty nine ers would have monetized the picks
the Niners. The picks they traded the Dolphins used to
get Jalen Waddle. They traded one of them for Tyreek
Hill and they got another draft pick. They traded a
couple of picks to get Bradley Chubb from the Broncos.
So the Niners put all of their chips, all of
them in the middle of the table, and they bet
(12:32):
on the wrong horse, the Trey Lance horse, and they
got the booby prize, and not the kind of booby
prize you want. They got the other booby prize you
don't really want. It is the Bane Mahler Show. If

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Chim and the Q's Rights and says Hey plus monologue. Personally,
I think the Colts offense in twenty twenty three, led
by Richardson during most of the drives will likely be
run Jonathan Taylor left, run Taylor right, and then run
Taylor on third and twenty and then punt the ball
away sounds like a fun offense. Ryan writes, Any from
(14:38):
San Diego, Sis tonight's opening monologue almost as impressive as
Lee Hacksaw Hamilton his best fifteen minutes in sports don't
forget the high Speed Sports Wire. Well, thank you, my mentor,
Hacksaw Hamilton from back in the day. We began here
with a cult themed Mallard monologue. Jeff Wright Sin says, been,
I know you don't do shout outs, but on August sixteenth,
(15:02):
many years ago, I was born in beautiful Bakersfield, California. Well, Jeff,
as you know, this is not a Morning Zoos show.
We don't get paid the big money here, so I
cannot do that. Sorry. I wish we could wish you
a happy birthday, but unfortunately we don't get paid enough
money to do that. So yeah. Shane from Des Moines writes,
and he says, my Mariners are more disappointing than a
(15:25):
call from Poppy on the Ben Mather Show. Well that
is a shot right there. That is a low blow
I did get here from our guy, Jayscoop. Jayscoop is
in Ukraine. I've been told it's not He told me
it's not. The Ukraine. It's Ukraine, and the town he's
(15:46):
near is Kiev, not Kiev. That was the used to
call it. He wants me to make sure I say
that right now.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
But those dirty Russians call it apparently.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh yeah, so you Ukrainians have to call it.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So, but he's he's there, he's going to be there
for a year, and he's checking in to make sure
that we know what's going on a little bit behind
the scenes there.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
And you say he's going to be there for a.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Year at least a year, at least a year.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, did he sign some sort of document that says
that he has to stay there.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
For a certain well, well no, but from what he
told me when he was in here, Jay's scoop. Jay
Scoop used to be in the military and he is
now he's helping out the cause there in Ukraine. But
he told me that if I don't know, I don't
really travel to other countries, but to go to a country,
(16:38):
if you want to stay more than like a month
or a couple of months, you have to get a
certain visa or something like that. So he because he's
helping out the military effort, he was given some kind
of exemption or something like that, where he's allowed to
be there for a fair amount of time and he's
been helping out. I think he's providing like like a
(17:00):
medic type position. I think. I don't know for sure,
I don't know for sure. I think some kind of
medic position for our friend Jay Scoop, who's won many
a talent show and so he's he's checked in there.
It is the Ben Mahlors Show. Let's go to the
phones and we'll start out with Paul in Rhode Island.
Hello Paul, Hey Ben, Now this is the legendary Paul.
(17:26):
And what town are you in? Providence? Where are you
at in Rhode Island.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I'm twenty minutes from Pence.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yes, yeah, well all of all of Rhode Island is
twenty minutes from Providence though.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, so we small stay. So I'm about twenty minutes
from Providence. I'm in a little town called Bourville, Boureville, Barville.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, hey Paul, Now it's Eddie. I know you called
in on Friday. I apologize I didn't get to your call.
I was going to you and you hung up like
one second before.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Why do you like, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Why do you like Eddie.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Tough question.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I like Eddie?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Why? Why? What about him?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I'm nice, I'm relatable.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Is he relatable to you, Paul?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yes, I like Eddie. I always talk about Eddie. I
always say hi to Eddie. Okay, And all I want
from Eddie is if I can get Jack Hughes from
New Jersey to the Bruins. But that ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, Eddie does have a lot of power and Eddie,
he can make some phone calls to Gary Bettman and
that would happen. So you never discount Eddie. Eddie wakes
up tomorrow and says, Hey, I want to get mister
Hughes on the Bruins. Boom, it's done.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Listen, we finally got a piece of Jerry Jones in
the Patriots. Okay, Zeke will be the freak and I
think he'll get twelve touchdowns this year. We're so bad
in the red zone and I'm gonna tell you right now,
for a brand player for that price, we will take it.
(19:02):
This division is so competitive that's unreal. The best thing
about this move was that Billy O'Brien is going to
figure out what we can do in this division.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Is that right, So you're trusting Bill O'Brien and mediocre
head coach with the Texans from back in the day.
You're trusting Billy O'Brien to be the savior of the Patriots.
How much red breast have you had tonight.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Paul, listen, I think you need a bottle of red breast.
You want me to mail you one?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, I was. I was in Rhode Island last week.
I was looking for you. I didn't see it though,
as that was there. Driving around, I went to the
capitolful beautiful capital and Providence. There they have a nice
capitol building.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yeah, a capital.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah, that's pretty nice. I'm saying it's pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I would I would love you to come down to
my ballast casino.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
You don't work there anymore. You you don't work at
the casino anymore. You' have that job yet I thought
you already retired and a half didn't. Eddie last week
gave me announced he retired you. Paul, you announced last
or two weeks ago, you announced that you were done,
that you had retired. I got book apparently, And by
(20:21):
the way I'm being I'm being told now. The Brian
the Brian Finley Burner accounts telling me that Paul and
Rhode Island called the Odd Couple on Fox Sports Radio
a few hours ago. Is that correct? Is that correct? Paul?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Did you call the correct When I'm when I'm free,
on my day off, I call anybody. I'm a national call.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You're a calling whore? Is what you are? You admit
my name is Paul and Rhode Island. I'm a sports
talk radio calling horror. Admit that right now? Yes, okay,
right there.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Man, I gave you, I gave I gave you. Listen.
Let me let me get back to something that's very important.
What is so eager to get these young quarterbacks? Uh
and involved in the front line? This kid is going
to be the next I'm sorry, I'm talking about this
(21:13):
this cult.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What's the guy's name? What's the quarterback of the Colts?
What's his name?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
His name is?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Oh my god? Why do you do this to me?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Why you don't need to yell? I mean you're talking
about you even know his name, Ben Mellow. You should
know his name, Ben Mellow.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Why do you have to expose this kid the next?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Expose him? He's he's got a job. You get hired
at a company, are you supposed to work and not
stand on the sidelines.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Ben mill What look, I'm gonna name your three quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
All right, I'm done with you. I gotta go, all right,
thank you, all right? Whatever? Right, but blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. All right, thank you.
Where's you out? Paul? Paul and Rhode Island just wears
you out? He does. He's on Coop's exasperated National caller.
Though he says he'll call any show. He just he
scans the dial, old school, the old radio dial. He's like,
(22:15):
I chose can I call it? And then he doesn't
even know the name of the quarterback of the Colts,
but he wants to give a take on it, which
is good. It's a solid Well that's kind of a
generic name. I guess Anthony Richardson is Yeah.

Well, I'll give it to Lionel Messi. He has definitely
helped to get his team and his league In the
games of note, Inter Miami beating the Philadelphia Union four
to one to advance to something called the League's Cup Final.
I'm guessing that. I'm guessing it's you know, the NBA
is gonna have that in season tournament. I guess the
MLS starts off their year with an in season tournament.
(23:27):
So the Inter Miami has made it to the final
of that League's Cup. They'll face Nashville SC and Linel
Messi had another goal, giving him six in nine games
so far with Miami.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You're gonna go out and watch when the Miami comes
to LA Are you gonna go?
Speaker 3 (23:43):

have any kind of thoughts of doing that, apparently these
tickets are outrageous. No, I'm not gonna pay hundreds and
hundreds of dollars to see something. I really don't care
about it. Yeah, it was free. If somebody said, hey
free tick, guess you want to go out, you might
do that.
Speaker 1 (24:02):

Sure, I don't think I'm gonna I don't think that
it's gonna happen.

am looking at looking at the schedule. L A f
C goes to Miami. That's a road game in Miami

don't see that by what a what a blank show
that's gonna be though, when they all these celebrities, if

and I'm like, hey, what's going on, new people? I'm good.
I don't need that anyway. Uh. It is the Ben
Mather Show. As we continue on the Hollywood Shakedown, a
follow up to the Michael Orr story that we talked
about yesterday, and and the family, the Tuy family has
come out swinging and they claim they should put a
(25:45):
dollar amount on this. They claim that Michael Orr attempted
a fifteen million dollars shakedown before he went public with
his lawsuit against the Toy family. And this also coincides
with a brand spanking new book that came out last week.
(26:06):
And Michael Orr did a book signing yesterday and had
lines around the building as this lawsuit is going on
and his new book out, and people lined up to
get an autograph with Michael orr So the people actually
(26:26):
buying the book though I don't know, but enough enough
people buying the book where there were people lined up
outside and around the building. There at some bookstore. I
don't even know where this bookstore is located. It says
the Square Books off Square Books. Okay, I don't know
what that is, but it's a bookstore. I don't know
(26:48):
much about that other than it looks like a cool bookstore.
There's some weird lights on the ceiling and all that, anyway,
is the Ben Matther Show. Let's go now to Milwaukee
and a man who is licking his wounds right now

Hello, Artes, you just had to burn me up about
the game to they.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Well, just the facts there are. I give you credit
for calling up. I figured you'd only call when the
Brewers win. You called up after a tough loss.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
So yeah, I'm a fan, but I ain't no well
party Cooper. You you got to win the day, man.
Well we'll wait at tomorrow. But I called about two things. Man. First,
I'm gonna talk about the Richardson thing. Man, they putting
that boy out there to get hammered. Man, you don't
how many different schemes and defenses that he's gonna have
to face against all these teams that he's never seen,
(27:40):
these type of schemes for these pros.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, but that's that's how you learn, Artest, you gotta
you're gonna have to take your bumps.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
But he gonna he gonna learn, but he's gonna get
beat down before he learned.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
He's a big guy, though he's not. He's not a munchkin.
He can take take a few hits.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Come on, how big you are in the NFL? If
you get the right.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But Artes, if he's handing off to Jonathan Taylor, as
Chip and the Q said earlier, right left and up
the middle, you know they'll throw. I would I would
imagine that they're not gonna throw the ball that much
that they'll throw around twenty times a game. That's it.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
And you can't do that all game. They gonna they
put eight in the buck. And he's not he's not
no elite passer where he could just read all defenses.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, I I think it'd be horrible. But I would
still play him. Uh, you gotta play him because he
hasn't played much. He didn't play much at Florida. He
does not he did not deserve to be a top
five pick in the draft based on what he did
in college. But you gotta figure out what you got.
And if he's terrible, you know, as long as you
get better every week, right, isn't that what they told you, Artes.
(28:46):
You gotta get better every week? Right?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Yeah, yeah, every week for the next two years.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, more like the next four years, right,
And because you gotta get to that fifth year option,
they got to decide after year four, so you got
four years of suckage. And and the great thing about
the NFL look at like Daniel Jones is a total
turd with the Giants, and they paid him. They paid him,
they gave him a fit, you know, they gave him
the money, so.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
It makes sense. And then I got one other thing
for you, Ben before I get off, Like last week,
you guys was talking about somebody called in the studio.
Told you about somebody on Bernie Fredell show.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know, oh yeah, yeah, there's people that bet Bernie
my man Bernie over there, the hostile takeover of this
show as he's deputizing people to drop Bernie's name on
our show, right right.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
But it was first scratch Off, you was saying something
about who making your show look bad?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Sir scratch Off. I mean, I don't even know who
that is. He quit the show, he retired from the show,
Sir scratch Off.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Well, whoever told you that I listened to the radio
all night like I hear the Bernie Fredel show on
the weekend. That guy actually did call and say all
that stuff that the people at the studio said. You said,
I know all of them because I listened to all
the show all day.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
God bless you. We need you need millions of people
just like you. Our tests. It's what we need that
listen all night long. That's what we need. Yes, I'm
all right, what are we What are we making today

Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right? There you go. Our friend Artest from Milwaukee's
he's up all night making the soul food meat loaf today.
He's got the catfish another day. And then people going
there like, oh, this food's great, and I have no

Hello and welcome. It's our num ber one, our one
of our podcast. Hope all is well with you. Thank
you for downloading and actually listening to the podcast. It
doesn't mean a lot to us. And here in our
number one, we talk about the big news in the NFL.
What is your position on Anthony Richardson getting the starting
(00:21):
gig as a rookie with the Colts. Also, do you
believe Trevor Lawrence is already one of the all time
great quarterbacks according to Doug Peterson? That is the cases
coach in Jacksonville. And what does Kyle Shanahan's statement about
brock Purty really mean for the Niners. We'll talk about
that and more right now here it is we start
(00:42):
out with our number one, a brain spanking new Colt.
Well kind of a welcome in the beginning of another
edition of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the
air every as we chatter away as we are your

in our back pocket. Coast to coast, border the border

(01:46):
Hope all as well with you can be that pad
you're listening to this so couldn't be worse. So some
would say this is the worst. I don't know. It's
up to you to decide. But our lead this hour
coming from the grid, the moving and shaking as we
come in here and take a look at the big
headlines of the day. A quarterback battle has ended. That's exciting, No,
(02:11):
not exciting. You're not excited by this bad job by you.
If he didn't hear about it, maybe not. We blew
the lead here, We gave it away right away. But
we've learned that Anthony Richardson, who Anthony Richardson guy, hardly
played college football and now he's been given the keys
to the castle as he is now going to be
the starting quarterback for the Colts. Sir Richardson beating out
(02:35):
my guy Minshew many Gardner, Minshew who will be the
backup Shane Steichen, Who's that is apparently the coach we're
told of the Colts making the announcement that it is
official Richardson will be the starting quarterback when they kick
off here in early September when Indy opens up the
regular season against Jacksonville. The prized first round PA will
(03:00):
be leading the huddle. So let us discuss the question
on this one. The question is what is your position
on Anthony Richardson getting the starting gig for the Colts.
So I've got Boiling Cauldron, day Spa, and Grand Canyon,
(03:20):
and we will combine all of these random things together
and we are going to make some raw garlic, which
I've been sucking on the last forty eight hours. And
by the way, let me tell you something. You might
think I sound like crap, but without the garlic, I
wouldn't even be here. So thank the power of the garlic.
But anyway, hey, let's start with this. The Anthony Richardson
(03:43):
starting quarterback position for the Colts gets the Mallards Seal
of approval. And I know that matters to Jim, irsay,
it matters to the Colts. To get the Mallard's Seal
of approval. Now, that does not mean that I believe
that Anthony Richardson's going to be good. I think he'll
be lousy. I think he'll suck out loud. It'll be
a bag of puke. But you still gotta play him.
(04:04):
You gotta play him. So good job by Ursay and
the Colts putting him out there. You need to know
what you have. You don't know what you don't know
by you know, you don't get better by not playing.
And what about Mahomes. Mahomes and Kansas City, he didn't
start right away. They had Alex Smith. Yeah, okay, yeah,
And I would argue that Mahomes was a prodigy and
(04:26):
would have been fine if he had started from from Jumpstreet.
And you'll never know either way because he didn't. So
there's plenty of examples if you want. It's it's one
of those things where you look at the examples to
fit your argument. I can find a bunch of quarterbacks
that played right away were fine. There's a bunch that
played right away and are selling insurance, so that that
(04:48):
does happen. But Richardson is like he's like undercooked fish
and I don't like fish, but undercooked fish. He just
has to get a lot of reps to think that
this guy horned swaggle. The NFL teams Anthony Richardson to
draft him in the top five, in this case the Colts.
Here when Richardson had less than four hundred passes attempted
(05:13):
for the Florida Gators. That is bupkus. That is absolute buppcus.
And you don't know how it's gonna, you know, gonna
go as far as the the undercooked fish in Richardson,
you know how it's gonna taste and all that stuff.
But we have long been supporters. I've asked I've been
asked this every year we have a new crop of
quarterbacks that come in, and my answer has been very consistent.
(05:37):
I like the sink or swim technique. You toss them
out into the ocean and see if they are buoyant
or not and whether these young quarterbacks, these first round picks,
are able to get it done. But Richardson is going
into the boiling cauldron, if you will, the baptism by fire,
(05:58):
And he said he was quote shocked, that was the
word he used. By the news, which is confusing. It
is confusing to me. I don't know if it's confusing
to you, because why would you be shocked you were
a top five pick and there's no incumbent quarterback there.
The guy that was there last year, Matty Ice, is
(06:20):
now doing television at CBS. And then you look around,
it's like, what are we doing? Did number four pick
in the draft? It is going to be so repulsive
to start the year for Indianapolis. I mean, they're gonna
have to run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run run.
So this year is essentially a throwaway season for the
(06:42):
Colts and Shane Steichen, the head coach that came over
from Philadelphia. Imagine that we'll see a lot of the
tushy pushy which he had in Philadelphia, and they'll bring
that to Indianapolis and that should be an amazing play
for Anthony Richardson. That they'll copy the play on short
yardede situations that Philadelphia did with Jalen Hurts. But other
(07:05):
than that, I don't get it. I don't We'll see
all right now, turning the page. Now in Jacksonville, the
Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson, he was laying it on
thick extra frosting extra frosting for Doug Peterson, and he
(07:26):
was helping Trevor Lawrence here, he said. Talking to reporters
this week, Doug Peterson claimed that Trevor Lawrence is already
in the upper echelon of quarterbacks, not just in the
NFL right now, but all time. Say why, yeah, that's
Doug Peterson pumping up the tires on Trevor Lawrence. He
(07:49):
praised Lawrence's confidence, says it's incredible and that his leadership
ability stood out and all that. But do you believe
Let me just ask you this, do you believe that
Lawrence is already one of the all time great quarterbacks
in the NFL? And I am shaking my head. No,
I am shaking my It's kind of obbyus. No, right,
(08:11):
does any I know anyone that thinks other than of
your last name is Lawrence, or you happen to have
a small ownership stake in the Jacksonville Football Club that
you would say, hey, we agree, and I like Trevor Lawrence.
But I also realized, wait a minute, here, we're voting. No,
(08:34):
the jury is still out on Trevor Lawrence. And he
was amazing last season seemed to get better as the
year went on for Jacksonville outstanding. But regardless of that,
to be an all time great, I think you have
to be on the old assembly line, not the Model
TA assembly line, but you have to continue a year
(08:55):
after year. And one thing that is as clear as
vodka is that Doug Peterson with these comments about his quarterback,
he went to the day spa and he didn't just
go for the cheapest item at the day spa, na Na,
He went Manny Petty and he said, no, loofa, I'll
(09:17):
just use my tongue and I'll give a tongue bath
to my quarterback, Trevor Lawrence. And that's what appears to
have happened here. And again we think Lawrence is really good,
not one of the all time greats, but what do
we know? All right, last we're here, So let's go
now to northern California, the Bay Area. They say they're
(09:40):
they're San Francisco forty nine ers, but they don't play
in San Francisco. They play down the road anyway. Brock Party,
he has a Chokeoal Brock Party on the forty nine
ers starting quarterback job. That is not my opinion, that
is a fact. Quote bouncing around from Kyle Shanahan asked
about whether or not party will continue to be the
star arding quarterback coming off an injury, surgery and all that.
(10:03):
Shanahan giving the great quip that has bounced all over
the place, Kyle Shannon said he would have to melt
in practice to lose it, and Brock's too good of
a player to melt in practice. Yeah, that would be
that would be something. But I think melt he means
like flop sweat, right, that flop swat when you fall
(10:25):
apart and all that. But the question on this one
and the team doctors there for the Niners have cleared
Purty to practice back to back days, so everything is
surprisingly heading towards him playing. And did not see that
on my chart when we heard he had surgery, and
(10:45):
he said, this guy named Roberto used to be here
we were talking about there. He's not gonna play, he'll
miss some games, but it appears that he is actually
gonna play. So what does Kyle Shanahan's statement about Brock
Purty really mean? Is there a deeper meaning part the
words as we are known to do here. It is
an indictment of Trey Lance, is what it is. It's
(11:07):
an indictment of Trey Lance. And the forty nine ers
could have slow walked brock Party on the return because
he had the operation. However, they're not doing that, and
the reason why they're not doing that, you can blame
the Grand Canyon if you want. There is such a
massive gap, a hole in the ground there between brock
(11:28):
Party and Trey Lance that the Niners are not even
gonna masquerade and pretend and play, make believe that they're
gonna go with Trey Lance. And there's chat of the
Trey Lance won't even be the backup quarterback. He's gonna
get beat out by Sam Darnold. Say what, Yeah, Now
you talk about a new low and the forty nine ers,
(11:49):
they traded three first round draft picks. Now, I don't
have a problem trading three first round draft picks. I
f them picks, but you gotta get more than Trey Lance.
And this guys a bum. The guy's a bum. They
traded a third round pick and three first round picks
and the Dolphins they've monetized those picks. But that doesn't
(12:10):
mean the forty nine ers would have monetized the picks
the Niners. The picks they traded the Dolphins used to
get Jalen Waddle. They traded one of them for Tyreek
Hill and they got another draft pick. They traded a
couple of picks to get Bradley Chubb from the Broncos.
So the Niners put all of their chips, all of
them in the middle of the table, and they bet
(12:32):
on the wrong horse, the Trey Lance horse, and they
got the booby prize, and not the kind of booby
prize you want. They got the other booby prize you
don't really want. It is the Bane Mahler Show. If

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Chim and the Q's Rights and says Hey plus monologue. Personally,
I think the Colts offense in twenty twenty three, led
by Richardson during most of the drives will likely be
run Jonathan Taylor left, run Taylor right, and then run
Taylor on third and twenty and then punt the ball
away sounds like a fun offense. Ryan writes, Any from
(14:38):
San Diego, Sis tonight's opening monologue almost as impressive as
Lee Hacksaw Hamilton his best fifteen minutes in sports don't
forget the high Speed Sports Wire. Well, thank you, my mentor,
Hacksaw Hamilton from back in the day. We began here
with a cult themed Mallard monologue. Jeff Wright Sin says, been,
I know you don't do shout outs, but on August sixteenth,
(15:02):
many years ago, I was born in beautiful Bakersfield, California. Well, Jeff,
as you know, this is not a Morning Zoos show.
We don't get paid the big money here, so I
cannot do that. Sorry. I wish we could wish you
a happy birthday, but unfortunately we don't get paid enough
money to do that. So yeah. Shane from Des Moines writes,
and he says, my Mariners are more disappointing than a
(15:25):
call from Poppy on the Ben Mather Show. Well that
is a shot right there. That is a low blow
I did get here from our guy, Jayscoop. Jayscoop is
in Ukraine. I've been told it's not He told me
it's not. The Ukraine. It's Ukraine, and the town he's
(15:46):
near is Kiev, not Kiev. That was the used to
call it. He wants me to make sure I say
that right now.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
But those dirty Russians call it apparently.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh yeah, so you Ukrainians have to call it.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So, but he's he's there, he's going to be there
for a year, and he's checking in to make sure
that we know what's going on a little bit behind
the scenes there.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
And you say he's going to be there for a.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Year at least a year, at least a year.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, did he sign some sort of document that says
that he has to stay there.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
For a certain well, well no, but from what he
told me when he was in here, Jay's scoop. Jay
Scoop used to be in the military and he is
now he's helping out the cause there in Ukraine. But
he told me that if I don't know, I don't
really travel to other countries, but to go to a country,
(16:38):
if you want to stay more than like a month
or a couple of months, you have to get a
certain visa or something like that. So he because he's
helping out the military effort, he was given some kind
of exemption or something like that, where he's allowed to
be there for a fair amount of time and he's
been helping out. I think he's providing like like a
(17:00):
medic type position. I think. I don't know for sure,
I don't know for sure. I think some kind of
medic position for our friend Jay Scoop, who's won many
a talent show and so he's he's checked in there.
It is the Ben Mahlors Show. Let's go to the
phones and we'll start out with Paul in Rhode Island.
Hello Paul, Hey Ben, Now this is the legendary Paul.
(17:26):
And what town are you in? Providence? Where are you
at in Rhode Island.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I'm twenty minutes from Pence.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yes, yeah, well all of all of Rhode Island is
twenty minutes from Providence though.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, so we small stay. So I'm about twenty minutes
from Providence. I'm in a little town called Bourville, Boureville, Barville.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, hey Paul, Now it's Eddie. I know you called
in on Friday. I apologize I didn't get to your call.
I was going to you and you hung up like
one second before.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Why do you like, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Why do you like Eddie.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Tough question.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I like Eddie?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Why? Why? What about him?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I'm nice, I'm relatable.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Is he relatable to you, Paul?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yes, I like Eddie. I always talk about Eddie. I
always say hi to Eddie. Okay, And all I want
from Eddie is if I can get Jack Hughes from
New Jersey to the Bruins. But that ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, Eddie does have a lot of power and Eddie,
he can make some phone calls to Gary Bettman and
that would happen. So you never discount Eddie. Eddie wakes
up tomorrow and says, Hey, I want to get mister
Hughes on the Bruins. Boom, it's done.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Listen, we finally got a piece of Jerry Jones in
the Patriots. Okay, Zeke will be the freak and I
think he'll get twelve touchdowns this year. We're so bad
in the red zone and I'm gonna tell you right now,
for a brand player for that price, we will take it.
(19:02):
This division is so competitive that's unreal. The best thing
about this move was that Billy O'Brien is going to
figure out what we can do in this division.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Is that right, So you're trusting Bill O'Brien and mediocre
head coach with the Texans from back in the day.
You're trusting Billy O'Brien to be the savior of the Patriots.
How much red breast have you had tonight.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Paul, listen, I think you need a bottle of red breast.
You want me to mail you one?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, I was. I was in Rhode Island last week.
I was looking for you. I didn't see it though,
as that was there. Driving around, I went to the
capitolful beautiful capital and Providence. There they have a nice
capitol building.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yeah, a capital.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah, that's pretty nice. I'm saying it's pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I would I would love you to come down to
my ballast casino.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
You don't work there anymore. You you don't work at
the casino anymore. You' have that job yet I thought
you already retired and a half didn't. Eddie last week
gave me announced he retired you. Paul, you announced last
or two weeks ago, you announced that you were done,
that you had retired. I got book apparently, And by
(20:21):
the way I'm being I'm being told now. The Brian
the Brian Finley Burner accounts telling me that Paul and
Rhode Island called the Odd Couple on Fox Sports Radio
a few hours ago. Is that correct? Is that correct? Paul?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Did you call the correct When I'm when I'm free,
on my day off, I call anybody. I'm a national call.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You're a calling whore? Is what you are? You admit
my name is Paul and Rhode Island. I'm a sports
talk radio calling horror. Admit that right now? Yes, okay,
right there.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Man, I gave you, I gave I gave you. Listen.
Let me let me get back to something that's very important.
What is so eager to get these young quarterbacks? Uh
and involved in the front line? This kid is going
to be the next I'm sorry, I'm talking about this
(21:13):
this cult.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What's the guy's name? What's the quarterback of the Colts?
What's his name?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
His name is?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Oh my god? Why do you do this to me?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Why you don't need to yell? I mean you're talking
about you even know his name, Ben Mellow. You should
know his name, Ben Mellow.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Why do you have to expose this kid the next?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Expose him? He's he's got a job. You get hired
at a company, are you supposed to work and not
stand on the sidelines.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Ben mill What look, I'm gonna name your three quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
All right, I'm done with you. I gotta go, all right,
thank you, all right? Whatever? Right, but blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. All right, thank you.
Where's you out? Paul? Paul and Rhode Island just wears
you out? He does. He's on Coop's exasperated National caller.
Though he says he'll call any show. He just he
scans the dial, old school, the old radio dial. He's like,
(22:15):
I chose can I call it? And then he doesn't
even know the name of the quarterback of the Colts,
but he wants to give a take on it, which
is good. It's a solid Well that's kind of a
generic name. I guess Anthony Richardson is Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Well, I'll give it to Lionel Messi. He has definitely
helped to get his team and his league In the
games of note, Inter Miami beating the Philadelphia Union four
to one to advance to something called the League's Cup Final.
I'm guessing that. I'm guessing it's you know, the NBA
is gonna have that in season tournament. I guess the
MLS starts off their year with an in season tournament.
(23:27):
So the Inter Miami has made it to the final
of that League's Cup. They'll face Nashville SC and Linel
Messi had another goal, giving him six in nine games
so far with Miami.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You're gonna go out and watch when the Miami comes
to LA Are you gonna go?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Well, the answer is no. But even if I did
have any kind of thoughts of doing that, apparently these
tickets are outrageous. No, I'm not gonna pay hundreds and
hundreds of dollars to see something. I really don't care
about it. Yeah, it was free. If somebody said, hey
free tick, guess you want to go out, you might
do that.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Sure, I don't think I'm gonna I don't think that
it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
When did they come to LA? I don't know. I
am looking at looking at the schedule. L A f
C goes to Miami. That's a road game in Miami
on September third, let's see here page down vision. I
don't see that by what a what a blank show
that's gonna be though, when they all these celebrities, if
they do come to my I don't see Miami playing
(24:27):
in LA at all here, So maybe they don't play
a game in Los Angeles this year. Anyway, It is
the Ben Malors Show. As we continue on, we thank

Speaker 3 (24:56):
I got September the third, But that's in Miami. Me
I thought BMO Stadium? Is this? This is the new
name of the stadium there in La. Yeah, all right,
let's see fine tickets except cookies.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I see that I was in Miami.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I'm seeing the lowest price tickets I'm seeing is seven
hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Seven and fifty dollars. H Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Think I'll drive by the stadium and wave at them
and I'm like, hey, what's going on, new people? I'm good.
I don't need that anyway. Uh. It is the Ben
Mather Show. As we continue on the Hollywood Shakedown, a
follow up to the Michael Orr story that we talked
about yesterday, and and the family, the Tuy family has
come out swinging and they claim they should put a
(25:45):
dollar amount on this. They claim that Michael Orr attempted
a fifteen million dollars shakedown before he went public with
his lawsuit against the Toy family. And this also coincides
with a brand spanking new book that came out last week.
(26:06):
And Michael Orr did a book signing yesterday and had
lines around the building as this lawsuit is going on
and his new book out, and people lined up to
get an autograph with Michael orr So the people actually
(26:26):
buying the book though I don't know, but enough enough
people buying the book where there were people lined up
outside and around the building. There at some bookstore. I
don't even know where this bookstore is located. It says
the Square Books off Square Books. Okay, I don't know
what that is, but it's a bookstore. I don't know
(26:48):
much about that other than it looks like a cool bookstore.
There's some weird lights on the ceiling and all that, anyway,
is the Ben Matther Show. Let's go now to Milwaukee
and a man who is licking his wounds right now
after the brow took it on the chin against the Dodgers. Artes,
our guy, the soul food king of Milwaukee.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Hello, Artes, you just had to burn me up about
the game to they.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Well, just the facts there are. I give you credit
for calling up. I figured you'd only call when the
Brewers win. You called up after a tough loss.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
So yeah, I'm a fan, but I ain't no well
party Cooper. You you got to win the day, man.
Well we'll wait at tomorrow. But I called about two things. Man. First,
I'm gonna talk about the Richardson thing. Man, they putting
that boy out there to get hammered. Man, you don't
how many different schemes and defenses that he's gonna have
to face against all these teams that he's never seen,
(27:40):
these type of schemes for these pros.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, but that's that's how you learn, Artest, you gotta
you're gonna have to take your bumps.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
But he gonna he gonna learn, but he's gonna get
beat down before he learned.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
He's a big guy, though he's not. He's not a munchkin.
He can take take a few hits.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Come on, how big you are in the NFL? If
you get the right.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But Artes, if he's handing off to Jonathan Taylor, as
Chip and the Q said earlier, right left and up
the middle, you know they'll throw. I would I would
imagine that they're not gonna throw the ball that much
that they'll throw around twenty times a game. That's it.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
And you can't do that all game. They gonna they
put eight in the buck. And he's not he's not
no elite passer where he could just read all defenses.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, I I think it'd be horrible. But I would
still play him. Uh, you gotta play him because he
hasn't played much. He didn't play much at Florida. He
does not he did not deserve to be a top
five pick in the draft based on what he did
in college. But you gotta figure out what you got.
And if he's terrible, you know, as long as you
get better every week, right, isn't that what they told you, Artes.
(28:46):
You gotta get better every week? Right?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Yeah, yeah, every week for the next two years.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, more like the next four years, right,
And because you gotta get to that fifth year option,
they got to decide after year four, so you got
four years of suckage. And and the great thing about
the NFL look at like Daniel Jones is a total
turd with the Giants, and they paid him. They paid him,
they gave him a fit, you know, they gave him
the money, so.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
It makes sense. And then I got one other thing
for you, Ben before I get off, Like last week,
you guys was talking about somebody called in the studio.
Told you about somebody on Bernie Fredell show.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know, oh yeah, yeah, there's people that bet Bernie
my man Bernie over there, the hostile takeover of this
show as he's deputizing people to drop Bernie's name on
our show, right right.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
But it was first scratch Off, you was saying something
about who making your show look bad?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Sir scratch Off. I mean, I don't even know who
that is. He quit the show, he retired from the show,
Sir scratch Off.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Well, whoever told you that I listened to the radio
all night like I hear the Bernie Fredel show on
the weekend. That guy actually did call and say all
that stuff that the people at the studio said. You said,
I know all of them because I listened to all
the show all day.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
God bless you. We need you need millions of people
just like you. Our tests. It's what we need that
listen all night long. That's what we need. Yes, I'm
all right, what are we What are we making today
our test? What do we got?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Oh? Well, today is Wednesday, especially meat loaf.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Okay, I think you usually call in on Wednesday, meat
love Wednesday. I remember the last time we talked, it
was also a meat.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Loaf day Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Okay, all right, listen, I'm I'm on to you. Are test.
I know your whole your whole schedule here.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Yes, if you like, I call you on catfish Day
where you can come down and get some of the.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Cat There you go, put the catfish out there, all right?
Thank you? Are test?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right? There you go. Our friend Artest from Milwaukee's
he's up all night making the soul food meat loaf today.
He's got the catfish another day. And then people going
there like, oh, this food's great, and I have no
idea that he has been up all night making the food.
