Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our Num birth three hanging out
here in the audio dojo talking Cincinnati football. They are
zero and two they being the Ben Gals. Should Cincinnati
put Joe Burrow in bubble wrap on injured reserve for
the next four weeks? Some punnits are saying that's the
(00:21):
way to go. Also, can the Giants survive without sa
Quon Barkley for likely a month? And what is the
message from the Patrick Mahomes contract restructure in Kansas City.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number three to rest or not to rest.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
We are in the air everywhere. The monarchy is we
row upstream, it's the coast, boiler, the motor and beyond
on the vast and astronomically. Massively, there's the word massively. Powerful.
(01:09):
Microphones of fs are mmnating live from the Ride the
Bumpy Ride, bumpity Bump on the rocky Road. We are
broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand

recommended installers tyraq dot com. The way the tire buying
should be. It's a glorious, marvelous Tuesday. We're hanging out
with you in our number three. We've been on the
air for a couple hours, got a couple hours to go.
It's the midway point. So here in our number three,
(01:51):
our lead comes from Cincinnati. And these are your daddy's Bengals.
The worst offensive team in football, the Cincinnati Bungals. They
are dead last in yards per game. And you think
Pittsburgh's bad, Pittsburgh side by side comparison much better, much
(02:13):
better by over thirty five yards, I believe better per game.
It is bad, bad, bad in Cincinnati right now. And
they just look like a junior varsity squad on offense.
And now, what's going on with the franchise quarterback? If
you've not heard the latest on this, if you haven't
followed along, and it's conceivable that you might have missed it.
(02:36):
So the availability of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow week three
against the Rams, that is a mystery.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Will he play?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Will he not play? Zach Taylor, the coach of the
ben Gals, told the media that Burrow is quote still sore,
he added, quote hard to say whether or not he
will have his quarterback good to go in less than
a week. Now, Monday night is the game there the
next game for Cincinnati's doubleheader next Monday night as well.
(03:10):
Now Burrow said after Cincinnati's Week two loss to the Ravens,
he said that he had reaggravated the right calf strain.
That was, he said. It didn't make it seem like
it was that bad. He suffered it during training camp.
He said, he tweaked it a little bit, and of
course people freaking out running around.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh Joe Borrow, Joe Borrow.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, what's going on here? And so he's out for
now at practice, but they don't play until Monday night.
So there is buzz, and there are some people advocating
for Joe Burrow to be put on injured reserve, to
shut Burrow down for four weeks to get him healthy.
(03:58):
Out of an abundance of cost. You need Joe Burrow
out there. Oh, Cincinnati's not going anyway, so you sacrifice
a few games early in the season, but then later
in the year things work out for you. So let
us discuss the question on this one. Should the Bangles
off to a miserable start on offense, put Joe Burrow
(04:21):
in bubble wrap, put him on injured reserve for the
next four weeks? And the survey says, no, I am
shaking my head, No, you should not do that. I've
got shotgun Willie Chihuahuah and billboard slogan, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(04:44):
to make a famball just like Deshaun Watson had in
the Monday night football game between the Steelers and the
Browns bambo He had two of them and an interception.
Very nice, very nice of Joe Burrow. So or Deshaun
Watson not to lead off here talking about Joe Burrow.
What to do here? Do you put him on injured
(05:05):
reserve or not? I can't grasp the concept that certain
people have that this is a good idea. It blows
me away. No way am I shutting down Joe Burrow
and putting him on injured reserve for four weeks. You
might as well just sit him the entire year. This
(05:26):
is not the NBA last I checked. Maybe it's becoming
like the NBA, but the way it works as you
are you're not afforded the luxury of sitting out long
stretches of games. Players get dinged up. That's really the
question here. See, there's this great divide on what's really
going on with Joe Burrow. Burrow said that, you know,
(05:49):
said that he's kind of dinged up a little bit,
and he didn't really get into specifics. But is Burrow hurt?
See words are important when it comes to this kind
of thing because there is a difference in the NF
between playing hurt and playing injured. Playing hurt is expected.
It's always been the expectation. You're gonna be hurt, you're
(06:09):
not gonna be feeling great. But if you're injured, you
should not play. If you're hurt, just rub some dirt
on it, just throw some dirt on it, maybe a
will mud and you're good to go. But if you're hurt, yeah,
you shut the person down. That's it. And so we
don't know where that is with Joe Burrow. I would
think that the Cincinnati football team, considering the amount of
money they've invested in Joe Burrow, would if he is injured,
(06:32):
they would not throw him out there. So I think
he's in the hurt category. But should Joe Burrow be out,
this becomes a shotgun Willie situation, as in Willie Nelson,
one of his nicknames there, because it will be turnout
the last the parties over. Yeah, good luck on that.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Furthermore, have you seen the Bengals backup quarterback? By the way,
they don't have one. They have no oh, backup quarterback
because why would they backup quarterbacks cost money? And the
Bengals are royally screwed if Joe Burrow can't play. Now,
further we have an injury update out of Gotham, which
is really not out of Gotham because the Giants are
staying on the West Coast. They played in Arizona. They're
(07:17):
gonna take on the forty nine ers on a little
Thursday NFL competition this week. So the Giants franchise running
back sa Quon bark Down goes bark He hurt his
ankle late in the game against the Cardinals, and we're
told the MRI showed that Barkley suffered I love this
(07:39):
a quote ordinary close quote ordinary ankle sprain. Nothing exotic
about it, nothing wild and crazy about it. Just a normal,
ordinary ankle sprain, Like you would get when you play pickleball.
So anyway, Barkley is expected to miss about a month.
They say three weeks. Some people are very optimist he
(08:00):
could be back in a couple of weeks. I don't
believe it. So can the Giants survive in a world
without Sequon Barkley? Let's say he does miss a month
of games? Can the Giants survive? So this is a
shaker head no on this one. Shaker head no on
Saquon Barkley. And typically running backs don't matter, and I've
(08:23):
been very consistent on that, but this is a little
different because the Giants don't have a quarterback. Danny Dimes blows.
Everyone knows football knows that this guy's is stiff. He
was able to convince the Giants to pay Hi because
the Giants have a bunch of idiots in their front office.
But Daniel Jones isn't that good? We had a comebug
against the Cardinals. Oh, we very impressive, unless I'm not impressed.
(08:45):
Not impressed by that the Cardinals are barely an NFL team.
The fact that he played miserable football for a half
against that Arizona team. That's the story. But the point
is the Giants are so depending they're like a throwback
to the old school different generations where it's all about
Sakuon Barkley. In fact, last season, he was responsible for
almost thirty percent of New York's offense. One guy, a
(09:08):
running back. Twenty seven point seven percent of the Giants
offense was on the shoulders of Saquon Barkley last year.
And Daniel Jones has been incapable of flipping the switch
and consistently dominating without Saquon Barkley, and he has just
not shown that skill set, So why would he all
of a sudden show that skill set? And the Giants,
(09:30):
if you look at the world without Barkley, they would
have to play for roughly twenty percent of the NFL season.
If it's a month and I say three games, it's
about twenty percent in that time. The g Men have
a date with the forty nine ers on Thursday. They're
double digit underdogs in that game. They played the Seahawks,
(09:52):
which is not a great upon Seattle's average, and then
maybe squeeze one out, and then they also play the
Miami football team. So the pivot point would be the
Seattle game. That's the pivot point because you go to Miami,
You're not gonna win that game. Even if Barkley plays,
You're not winning that game. So for the other games though,
(10:13):
and as long as Barkley's out, you're like, well, you're
you're maybe you can cover the point spread, right, if
you're a gambler, you can hang around because you're getting
a lot of points in all that. But it is
a tinder doll, a tinder box situation, it is, right,
And so it becomes a case where even when Barkley
comes back, this is something that follows him around. And
(10:35):
it's the other problem is that ch I call it
a chihuahua problem. What is the chihuahua problem. The chihuahua
problem is that Barkley's ankle, even when he comes back
to play, is gonna start barking like a chihuahua, like
a lap dog. It's gonna start bark So what do
you do then? So it does become a bit of
a tender box, and the Giants don't really have anybody
(10:57):
that stands out. Matt Breida is a journeyman running back.
He's currently the veteran option. Someone named Gary Brightwell, we
don't know who that is, but maybe he's good. He's
the other running back on the depth chart. So next
man up, cover your eyes. Bad for Daniel Jones, and
he will be exposed much more here in the coming
days and weeks. All Right, the last part of this,
(11:19):
let's go to Kansas City, where the Chiefs are back
on track. The train is back on the tracks. After
Kansas City went to Jacksonville and had a bunch of
turnovers and a bunch of mistakes and penalties and the
whole thing, and they still ended up winning that game
against the Jags in Duall County. So some news out
(11:43):
of Kansas City, we read that the Chiefs and quarterback
Patty Mahomes Patrick Mahomes agreed to a restructured contract that
will pay him a record two hundred and ten million
dollars between this year and twenty. You're probably saying, well,
that's not a great talker. What are you gonna say
(12:04):
about that? And I would I would tend to agree.
But on this one, there is an angle that I
have uncovered on this my home story that I think
is a good talker because it validates something that we
have talked about on these microphones under the cover of
darkness for some time, So what is it the question
what is the message? What is the message for Kansas
(12:27):
City giving Patrick Mahomes this new restructured contract where he
gets all this extra money. So the lesson is one
of validation. It's like the billboard slogan is correct, the
cap is crap that's the slogan. The salary cap is
crap ole, That's what it is. Now what is my evidence?
(12:50):
Two weeks ago, I went back and looked at my notes,
because I keep copious amounts of notes. So I went
back and I looked at my notes. Two weeks ago,
before the NFL season began, Chiefs and Lines, there were
several stories written about the salary cap purgatory that the
Kansas City football team was in. One of the stories
indicated that the Chiefs at the time of the start
(13:12):
of the season were two point six million dollars over
the cap, but it was actually higher than that, that
they were closer to five million dollars over the cap.
And that time Chris Jones was unsigned. They gave him
new money, a little bit of more money based on incentives.
So to answer the question of what is the message
(13:35):
of Patrick Mahomes getting the researchered contract. Well, it is.
The salary cap is a myth. It is mathematical gymnastics.
It's moving decimal points around, it's turning signing bonuses into
roster bonuses and all that mumbo jumbo. That is what
it's all about. And if you don't believe that by now,
the Patrick Mahomes contract, that is the evidence that you
(13:57):
need right there. That's it. That's a slam dunk. That's
what that is. All right, is the Ben Mahler Show.

parking lot, a tailgate parking lot prior to the Steelers
game on Monday night. Now, I wasn't Eddie Garcia's wedding.
I thought your wife might just say, let's get married,
like right outside the stadium. But you didn't do that.
You had a traditional wedding. Eddie didn't go to the
tailgate wedding. But this thing, this is quite they says,
(19:41):
I'm reading about the wedding here. It says the Inser Pope.
You know who that is.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I don't know specifically who that is, but I'm familiar
with a lot of those characters.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Okay, so you have the Inser Pope, Steeler's Jesus, Wow,
that's blasphemy, and a whole bunch of other characters. According
to k d KA Pittsburgh, they were all part of
this wedding. There, the Steeler Warrior, it's been to Pittsburgh games.
Joy's the obviously the whole thing. I mean, you get
(20:10):
married to a Steeler game and a tailgate party. Did
they have to buy beer for everybody the tailgate party.
What's how does that work?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I'm sure provided?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Okay, there you go, let's go to the phones. The
black irishman is hanging out.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
In oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my home.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He's been and broken. He's a Giants fan. He's not
happy right now.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I am not a Giants fan.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I was just kidding, just seeing if you're awake.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
How gonna tell you?
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Nate, I don't know why you're so mad at uh
the Cleveland Brown's man.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
But what's those stupid uniforms?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You didn't like those white uniforms the Cleveland no, no,
his name.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Was Paul Brown. They didn't have brown helmets. And that's
going against uh Otto Graham and Brian Sipe.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And black irishman. Those they claimed the Browns those were
throwback uniforms back in the days when no one watched
the NFL. They wore those uniforms.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
That's why that that I think that's why he said
he left Cleveland because, uh, what was they hated it
on he had? That's why he went to the Bengals.
And so that's what whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Are we doing? Are we doing Cleveland Brown's history now?
For a thousand alex is that what we're doing now,
we're doing going down memory Lane for the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
But they didn't get rid of those stupid uniforms.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
They gotta sell. They gotta sell merchandise. The NFL is
a big billion dollar business. They got to get a
multi billion dollars. They gotta sell a lot of crap.
They gotta get people to buy that. Somebody looked at
those uniforms said, boy, that's a good looking jersey. Somebody
looked at those and said, I want that. I'm Have
you seen Have you seen the Boston Red Sox who
(21:56):
wear light blue and yellow uniform Have you seen that?
That's a good one too. The Boston Red Sox have
their Boston Marathon uniforms which are look like the U. C. L. A.
Bruins light blue and gold.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
What else I gonna say?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
You you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I can go on.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
If you want, you want me to go on, I'll
go on. There are others, examples and other No.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
I just don't make the example that talk about Paul
Brown anyway. You know, one of the most important things
pencil things I ever heard was the hell boy Big
said that he said a teammate is a be a teammate.
Have you ever seen how small he is?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I have no idea what you're talking about. Who are
you talking to, Michael, Oh, Michael Vick. Michael Vick, the most.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Important thing I ever heard in my life. Basically, he said,
be a teammate. That's coming from somebody that so small?
How many be that small? They have an arm like that,
they have wills like that.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Be that.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
So now we're breaking down Michael Vicks. So we've at
least moved on to the early two thousands with my
Michael Vay.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Late nineties former Steeler.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Great, that's yes, he said.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
A teammates come from somebody that can make it happen
on the Well.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
That's what I say. You got to be a good teammate.
This call you're as a caller. You're a teammate and
this is not a good call. You got to pick
up this call, black irishman. And by the way, I
went and checked the mail, I didn't see any hat
in the mail.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
And uh, another forty nine ers they will coach.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh the cat tweet that out Coop. The forty nine
ers are well coached. That's a good that's an original take.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
I like that game. You got to give him some credit.
I mean, he's a damn good coach.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Eh, yeah, I give him credit. He just went he wanted.
He wanted the family business.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
You know, like you ever listened to the show.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
It doesn't give credit to anyone. No. I was like,
my dad was a ham radio operator. I didn't go
into ham radio. I went to the regular radio. That's
what I went into.
Speaker 6 (23:54):

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Interesting Fact not a fun fact, Eddie, No, I have
an interesting facts the difference. Dodgers honored Miguel Cabrera. They
gave him do you see what they gave him retirement gift?
They hate these retirement towards you stupid, but they they
gave him a charitable donation, so it's a tax ride
off for the Dodgers. They also gave him a Hollywood
(26:49):
Walk of Fame star, like a full size star.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
But he's not going to be on the one.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
No, Well, he could be I mean that's true.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
You can buy Jim.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Grey got one. You just buy them, and I could
get one. I could just buy. They're expensive, but I
looked it up. So if I wanted to buy one
of these things. How much do you think it cost
to get a full size Hollywood Walk of Fame star?
I think this is full size fi.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Are you talking about a real one on the Walk
of Fame?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, no, not just like a repical one like the Dodgers
gave us.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I don't know, a thousand bucks.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Now, according to this, it's only like one hundred and
fifty bucks. Wow, the Dodgers, I don't know. I mean
maybe they spent more than that. Well actually it says
full sized personalized, hand painted framed Walk of Fame star
fifteen hundred bucks, So maybe they got that one. Maybe
they got the fifteen.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
They've got like the Souvenir Shop one that's one hundred
fift You.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Go anywhere in Hollywood Boulevard, you get any kind of

major champion Phil Mickelson says he's suffering from a gambling addiction.
He just figured that out, and he says he's now
in recovery. Yes, he's just just figuring that out right now.

So one hundred one hundred shut up, Jed, shut up?
One hundred and eighty points. Sam, Sam, lead him down.
For God's sake, Jesus, one hundred and eighty points plus

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Sixty points?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Tie?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
All right, Joe? Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Joe?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Get it all right? Here we go. You don't know
what you've got. These athletes all were all traded before
they reached superstardom. And we're on our way go. He
was the closer for the Podres all time saves leader
in Sandy A. Yes, we're tied. Ace of the Red
Sox when they ended the Curse of the Banbino along

What's his last name?
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Martinez.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah, that's a winner. We'll keep going. He was known
as the chief for the Boston Celtics in the nineteen eighties,
the center alongside Kevin McHale and Larry Bird. That great
front line of the Boston Celtics. Got it all right,
mister big shot. For the Pistons in the NBA, they
won the championship in five I believe it was against
the Lakers. Phillips, Yeah, you got it, I got it right,
(37:45):
all right? It doesn't matter. This and we won the game.
That's all that matters. You get a goal that tech it,
You get a goal that tech it. Hey let me yes,
are you still talking to it too?
Speaker 3 (38:00):
But it ain't real?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
All right, Joe, thank you, good job. You dominated this guy.
You put the one week one week for the whole game. Well,
we had time, and you try to you try to
sabotage the game. But me and Dree the do you
see the not chemistry, the bond. There was a bond
that I had. There was a bond with me and connection.
(38:21):
We had a cosmic connection.
Hello and welcome. It's our Num birth three hanging out
here in the audio dojo talking Cincinnati football. They are
zero and two they being the Ben Gals. Should Cincinnati
put Joe Burrow in bubble wrap on injured reserve for
the next four weeks? Some punnits are saying that's the
(00:21):
way to go. Also, can the Giants survive without sa
Quon Barkley for likely a month? And what is the
message from the Patrick Mahomes contract restructure in Kansas City.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number three to rest or not to rest.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
We are in the air everywhere. The monarchy is we
row upstream, it's the coast, boiler, the motor and beyond
on the vast and astronomically. Massively, there's the word massively. Powerful.
(01:09):
Microphones of fs are mmnating live from the Ride the
Bumpy Ride, bumpity Bump on the rocky Road. We are
broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand

recommended installers tyraq dot com. The way the tire buying
should be. It's a glorious, marvelous Tuesday. We're hanging out
with you in our number three. We've been on the
air for a couple hours, got a couple hours to go.
It's the midway point. So here in our number three,
(01:51):
our lead comes from Cincinnati. And these are your daddy's Bengals.
The worst offensive team in football, the Cincinnati Bungals. They
are dead last in yards per game. And you think
Pittsburgh's bad, Pittsburgh side by side comparison much better, much
(02:13):
better by over thirty five yards, I believe better per game.
It is bad, bad, bad in Cincinnati right now. And
they just look like a junior varsity squad on offense.
And now, what's going on with the franchise quarterback? If
you've not heard the latest on this, if you haven't
followed along, and it's conceivable that you might have missed it.
(02:36):
So the availability of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow week three
against the Rams, that is a mystery.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Will he play?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Will he not play? Zach Taylor, the coach of the
ben Gals, told the media that Burrow is quote still sore,
he added, quote hard to say whether or not he
will have his quarterback good to go in less than
a week. Now, Monday night is the game there the
next game for Cincinnati's doubleheader next Monday night as well.
(03:10):
Now Burrow said after Cincinnati's Week two loss to the Ravens,
he said that he had reaggravated the right calf strain.
That was, he said. It didn't make it seem like
it was that bad. He suffered it during training camp.
He said, he tweaked it a little bit, and of
course people freaking out running around.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh Joe Borrow, Joe Borrow.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, what's going on here? And so he's out for
now at practice, but they don't play until Monday night.
So there is buzz, and there are some people advocating
for Joe Burrow to be put on injured reserve, to
shut Burrow down for four weeks to get him healthy.
(03:58):
Out of an abundance of cost. You need Joe Burrow
out there. Oh, Cincinnati's not going anyway, so you sacrifice
a few games early in the season, but then later
in the year things work out for you. So let
us discuss the question on this one. Should the Bangles
off to a miserable start on offense, put Joe Burrow
(04:21):
in bubble wrap, put him on injured reserve for the
next four weeks? And the survey says, no, I am
shaking my head, No, you should not do that. I've
got shotgun Willie Chihuahuah and billboard slogan, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(04:44):
to make a famball just like Deshaun Watson had in
the Monday night football game between the Steelers and the
Browns bambo He had two of them and an interception.
Very nice, very nice of Joe Burrow. So or Deshaun
Watson not to lead off here talking about Joe Burrow.
What to do here? Do you put him on injured
(05:05):
reserve or not? I can't grasp the concept that certain
people have that this is a good idea. It blows
me away. No way am I shutting down Joe Burrow
and putting him on injured reserve for four weeks. You
might as well just sit him the entire year. This
(05:26):
is not the NBA last I checked. Maybe it's becoming
like the NBA, but the way it works as you
are you're not afforded the luxury of sitting out long
stretches of games. Players get dinged up. That's really the
question here. See, there's this great divide on what's really
going on with Joe Burrow. Burrow said that, you know,
(05:49):
said that he's kind of dinged up a little bit,
and he didn't really get into specifics. But is Burrow hurt?
See words are important when it comes to this kind
of thing because there is a difference in the NF
between playing hurt and playing injured. Playing hurt is expected.
It's always been the expectation. You're gonna be hurt, you're
(06:09):
not gonna be feeling great. But if you're injured, you
should not play. If you're hurt, just rub some dirt
on it, just throw some dirt on it, maybe a
will mud and you're good to go. But if you're hurt, yeah,
you shut the person down. That's it. And so we
don't know where that is with Joe Burrow. I would
think that the Cincinnati football team, considering the amount of
money they've invested in Joe Burrow, would if he is injured,
(06:32):
they would not throw him out there. So I think
he's in the hurt category. But should Joe Burrow be out,
this becomes a shotgun Willie situation, as in Willie Nelson,
one of his nicknames there, because it will be turnout
the last the parties over. Yeah, good luck on that.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Furthermore, have you seen the Bengals backup quarterback? By the way,
they don't have one. They have no oh, backup quarterback
because why would they backup quarterbacks cost money? And the
Bengals are royally screwed if Joe Burrow can't play. Now,
further we have an injury update out of Gotham, which
is really not out of Gotham because the Giants are
staying on the West Coast. They played in Arizona. They're
(07:17):
gonna take on the forty nine ers on a little
Thursday NFL competition this week. So the Giants franchise running
back sa Quon bark Down goes bark He hurt his
ankle late in the game against the Cardinals, and we're
told the MRI showed that Barkley suffered I love this
(07:39):
a quote ordinary close quote ordinary ankle sprain. Nothing exotic
about it, nothing wild and crazy about it. Just a normal,
ordinary ankle sprain, Like you would get when you play pickleball.
So anyway, Barkley is expected to miss about a month.
They say three weeks. Some people are very optimist he
(08:00):
could be back in a couple of weeks. I don't
believe it. So can the Giants survive in a world
without Sequon Barkley? Let's say he does miss a month
of games? Can the Giants survive? So this is a
shaker head no on this one. Shaker head no on
Saquon Barkley. And typically running backs don't matter, and I've
(08:23):
been very consistent on that, but this is a little
different because the Giants don't have a quarterback. Danny Dimes blows.
Everyone knows football knows that this guy's is stiff. He
was able to convince the Giants to pay Hi because
the Giants have a bunch of idiots in their front office.
But Daniel Jones isn't that good? We had a comebug
against the Cardinals. Oh, we very impressive, unless I'm not impressed.
(08:45):
Not impressed by that the Cardinals are barely an NFL team.
The fact that he played miserable football for a half
against that Arizona team. That's the story. But the point
is the Giants are so depending they're like a throwback
to the old school different generations where it's all about
Sakuon Barkley. In fact, last season, he was responsible for
almost thirty percent of New York's offense. One guy, a
(09:08):
running back. Twenty seven point seven percent of the Giants
offense was on the shoulders of Saquon Barkley last year.
And Daniel Jones has been incapable of flipping the switch
and consistently dominating without Saquon Barkley, and he has just
not shown that skill set, So why would he all
of a sudden show that skill set? And the Giants,
(09:30):
if you look at the world without Barkley, they would
have to play for roughly twenty percent of the NFL season.
If it's a month and I say three games, it's
about twenty percent in that time. The g Men have
a date with the forty nine ers on Thursday. They're
double digit underdogs in that game. They played the Seahawks,
(09:52):
which is not a great upon Seattle's average, and then
maybe squeeze one out, and then they also play the
Miami football team. So the pivot point would be the
Seattle game. That's the pivot point because you go to Miami,
You're not gonna win that game. Even if Barkley plays,
You're not winning that game. So for the other games though,
(10:13):
and as long as Barkley's out, you're like, well, you're
you're maybe you can cover the point spread, right, if
you're a gambler, you can hang around because you're getting
a lot of points in all that. But it is
a tinder doll, a tinder box situation, it is, right,
And so it becomes a case where even when Barkley
comes back, this is something that follows him around. And
(10:35):
it's the other problem is that ch I call it
a chihuahua problem. What is the chihuahua problem. The chihuahua
problem is that Barkley's ankle, even when he comes back
to play, is gonna start barking like a chihuahua, like
a lap dog. It's gonna start bark So what do
you do then? So it does become a bit of
a tender box, and the Giants don't really have anybody
(10:57):
that stands out. Matt Breida is a journeyman running back.
He's currently the veteran option. Someone named Gary Brightwell, we
don't know who that is, but maybe he's good. He's
the other running back on the depth chart. So next
man up, cover your eyes. Bad for Daniel Jones, and
he will be exposed much more here in the coming
days and weeks. All Right, the last part of this,
(11:19):
let's go to Kansas City, where the Chiefs are back
on track. The train is back on the tracks. After
Kansas City went to Jacksonville and had a bunch of
turnovers and a bunch of mistakes and penalties and the
whole thing, and they still ended up winning that game
against the Jags in Duall County. So some news out
(11:43):
of Kansas City, we read that the Chiefs and quarterback
Patty Mahomes Patrick Mahomes agreed to a restructured contract that
will pay him a record two hundred and ten million
dollars between this year and twenty. You're probably saying, well,
that's not a great talker. What are you gonna say
(12:04):
about that? And I would I would tend to agree.
But on this one, there is an angle that I
have uncovered on this my home story that I think
is a good talker because it validates something that we
have talked about on these microphones under the cover of
darkness for some time, So what is it the question
what is the message? What is the message for Kansas
(12:27):
City giving Patrick Mahomes this new restructured contract where he
gets all this extra money. So the lesson is one
of validation. It's like the billboard slogan is correct, the
cap is crap that's the slogan. The salary cap is
crap ole, That's what it is. Now what is my evidence?
(12:50):
Two weeks ago, I went back and looked at my notes,
because I keep copious amounts of notes. So I went
back and I looked at my notes. Two weeks ago,
before the NFL season began, Chiefs and Lines, there were
several stories written about the salary cap purgatory that the
Kansas City football team was in. One of the stories
indicated that the Chiefs at the time of the start
(13:12):
of the season were two point six million dollars over
the cap, but it was actually higher than that, that
they were closer to five million dollars over the cap.
And that time Chris Jones was unsigned. They gave him
new money, a little bit of more money based on incentives.
So to answer the question of what is the message
(13:35):
of Patrick Mahomes getting the researchered contract. Well, it is.
The salary cap is a myth. It is mathematical gymnastics.
It's moving decimal points around, it's turning signing bonuses into
roster bonuses and all that mumbo jumbo. That is what
it's all about. And if you don't believe that by now,
the Patrick Mahomes contract, that is the evidence that you
(13:57):
need right there. That's it. That's a slam dunk. That's
what that is. All right, is the Ben Mahler Show.

these people because you're in that world. A Steeler Warrior
and Steeler princess decided to get married in a tailgate
(19:20):
parking lot, a tailgate parking lot prior to the Steelers
game on Monday night. Now, I wasn't Eddie Garcia's wedding.
I thought your wife might just say, let's get married,
like right outside the stadium. But you didn't do that.
You had a traditional wedding. Eddie didn't go to the
tailgate wedding. But this thing, this is quite they says,
(19:41):
I'm reading about the wedding here. It says the Inser Pope.
You know who that is.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I don't know specifically who that is, but I'm familiar
with a lot of those characters.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Okay, so you have the Inser Pope, Steeler's Jesus, Wow,
that's blasphemy, and a whole bunch of other characters. According
to k d KA Pittsburgh, they were all part of
this wedding. There, the Steeler Warrior, it's been to Pittsburgh games.
Joy's the obviously the whole thing. I mean, you get
(20:10):
married to a Steeler game and a tailgate party. Did
they have to buy beer for everybody the tailgate party.
What's how does that work?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I'm sure provided?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Okay, there you go, let's go to the phones. The
black irishman is hanging out.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
In oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my home.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He's been and broken. He's a Giants fan. He's not
happy right now.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I am not a Giants fan.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I was just kidding, just seeing if you're awake.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
How gonna tell you?
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Nate, I don't know why you're so mad at uh
the Cleveland Brown's man.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
But what's those stupid uniforms?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You didn't like those white uniforms the Cleveland no, no,
his name.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Was Paul Brown. They didn't have brown helmets. And that's
going against uh Otto Graham and Brian Sipe.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And black irishman. Those they claimed the Browns those were
throwback uniforms back in the days when no one watched
the NFL. They wore those uniforms.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
That's why that that I think that's why he said
he left Cleveland because, uh, what was they hated it
on he had? That's why he went to the Bengals.
And so that's what whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Are we doing? Are we doing Cleveland Brown's history now?
For a thousand alex is that what we're doing now,
we're doing going down memory Lane for the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
But they didn't get rid of those stupid uniforms.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
They gotta sell. They gotta sell merchandise. The NFL is
a big billion dollar business. They got to get a
multi billion dollars. They gotta sell a lot of crap.
They gotta get people to buy that. Somebody looked at
those uniforms said, boy, that's a good looking jersey. Somebody
looked at those and said, I want that. I'm Have
you seen Have you seen the Boston Red Sox who
(21:56):
wear light blue and yellow uniform Have you seen that?
That's a good one too. The Boston Red Sox have
their Boston Marathon uniforms which are look like the U. C. L. A.
Bruins light blue and gold.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
What else I gonna say?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
You you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I can go on.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
If you want, you want me to go on, I'll
go on. There are others, examples and other No.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
I just don't make the example that talk about Paul
Brown anyway. You know, one of the most important things
pencil things I ever heard was the hell boy Big
said that he said a teammate is a be a teammate.
Have you ever seen how small he is?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I have no idea what you're talking about. Who are
you talking to, Michael, Oh, Michael Vick. Michael Vick, the most.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Important thing I ever heard in my life. Basically, he said,
be a teammate. That's coming from somebody that so small?
How many be that small? They have an arm like that,
they have wills like that.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Be that.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
So now we're breaking down Michael Vicks. So we've at
least moved on to the early two thousands with my
Michael Vay.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Late nineties former Steeler.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Great, that's yes, he said.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
A teammates come from somebody that can make it happen
on the Well.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
That's what I say. You got to be a good teammate.
This call you're as a caller. You're a teammate and
this is not a good call. You got to pick
up this call, black irishman. And by the way, I
went and checked the mail, I didn't see any hat
in the mail.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
And uh, another forty nine ers they will coach.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh the cat tweet that out Coop. The forty nine
ers are well coached. That's a good that's an original take.
Speaker 6 (23:32):

I mean, he's a damn good coach.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Eh, yeah, I give him credit. He just went he wanted.
He wanted the family business.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
You know, like you ever listened to the show.
