Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber three. Grab a bat,
grab a glove. We're talking bass ball and the big
story from the winter meetings in Tennessee. What is gonna
happen with Otani? How do you dissect these reports about show? Hey,
(00:21):
Otani's MLB future? And where are you on Mookie Betts.
He's in the Sporting News here in baseball Mookie bets
the Dodgers making him a full time second baseman in
twenty twenty four. And give me your school of thought
on Houston third baseman Alex Bregman's trade value. His name
(00:41):
has been tossed out as trade fodder at the winter
meetings in Nashville. We'll talk about that as well. Right
now here, it is our number three. Let the betting,
Let the betting, let the binding, Let the bidding begin. Welcome,
in the beginning of another hour of the Benmathers Show.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
It is a joint effort as we hit that big
red button. Actually it's a blue button here, it's right there.
We got to hit that big blue button coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond. On the vast and markedly powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live from the classroom.

Show be in our headline this hour from Nashville Music City.
(01:55):
Why because that is where the Winter Meetings are going
on right now. There's a lot of big shots from
Major League Baseball that are running up expense accounts as
we speak.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's an open bar hanging.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Out there having a great time in Music City.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The wheeling and dealing.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
We've seen some trades, not too many trades since the
Winter Meetings actually began. We saw in the weekend leading
into the Winter Meetings there were some transactions, but much
of the focus in the wee hours of the morning
about Otani show. Hey Otani. Now, if you've not heard
the latest, and maybe not, there are stories breaking here
(02:33):
in the late night. Now now we're hearing the reports.
Some reports, hey Otani's going to the Dodgers. Others say
he's actually considering staying in Anaheim. Say what buster Olney,
who claims to have insider information, said, an agent believes
that Otani will end up re signing to return to
(02:53):
the Big A, and he gave a bunch of reasons
devoted to his routine. No organization would offer him more
autonomy and all that. Now there's another report saying that
Oltani's close to signing with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
A late night report out of the Winter Meetings indicating
that show hey O TI, I love the weasel word.
Here was believed believed to have met with the Toronto
Blue Jays at their spring training complex in Florida on Monday.
As the Winter Meetings, we're getting going Otani hanging out
(03:30):
in what dun.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Eden, Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I believe he is the spring training home it used
to be of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So those are the reports.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Maybe he was in Florida golfing, or maybe he wasn't
there at all. Who knows, So let us discuss. As
the New York Post and Coop reference this year reporting
that Otani could get over six hundred million dollars. I
don't believe we'll get that much, but he'll likely break
the five hundred million dollar threshold if he signs a
long term contract. So the question here is how do
(03:59):
you die? So how do you dissect the various reports
about sho Hey Otani and his major League Baseball future?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Roller coaster underlying condition and white elephant, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the Rocky Mountain horror show, which is what
a number of teams are going to be dealing with
if they do not get show Hey Otani.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Now the lead off here, there's.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
A lot of hot air flowing, a lot of hot airflown.
We have not gotten to the point yet where Otani
has been spotted looking at country clubs.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I always love that story. Now I don't think he's
got any kids.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So the other story we would get is Otani was
looking at private schools for his children. That's always a
fun thing in free agency when those stories pop up.
But I do enjoy the fact that the Major League
Baseball insider crowd is hyperventilating, desperate for any nugget that
will put them over the top on the Otani sweepstakes. Unfortunately,
(05:07):
Otani is tight lipped. That's the big the big story
here that Otani is not somebody that wants to leak anything.
And his camp, if there is such a thing as
an Otani camp, they're not leaking anything.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So there's no insider information to get. That's a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
If you're in the business, the cottage industry of coming
up with rumors every day, clickety click, it becomes a problem.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's the key, the clickery click. You got to get
people clicking.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And Otani News feeds the beast, and the beast has
a hungry belly, and so you got to feed the beast.
It's like a dramatic mini series. It's a roller coaster
with Otani News. It's equal parts exhilarating, frightening, all of
the above, adrenaline charge. I love the well somebody close
(05:55):
to Otani told me who is that? Somebody that made
him a sandwich one time at a at a place
in Orange.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Like, what are we getting at here?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But these stories now, the Blue Jays one, the latest,
the Dodger story, so we got all time. One report
says he's going to the essentially the Blue Jays. One
says he's going to the Dodgers. Another says he's going
to the Angels. You can stay in Anaheim. Is there
anything about the Giants? I haven't thinking about the Giants
connecting him directly to the Giants that he's gonna sign
there or to the Red Sox or see. At some point,
(06:27):
there's a scam in the gambling world, which I guess
I'm kind of in now because of the TV show.
Their scam Dey Captors is what they are, and what
they do is it's like they used to have these
things back in the day. We'd call up to get
a free pick of the day. Right, here's our free
pick of the day, you know, take to so and so,
and what they would do is half the people would
get one team. Half the people would get the other team.
(06:48):
So they were guaranteed it fifty percent of the people
would get a winning pick. So then what they would
do is for the fifty percent of people that they
had their phone numbers, they would then call up those
people that got the right pick, and they do it again.
Half the people would get one team, half the people
would get the other team. So's you keep doing this
(07:08):
and at some point somebody's got like five straight winning picks.
So they think you're the smartest person in the world.
So then they will buy. Right, they'll buy what you're
selling even though you.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You just you just scammed them. Right. It's just a
total scam, is what it is. But all of this
is taking up a lot of bandwidth. Uh, and it's
good reading.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's you know, it's like so you just like one
guy says Toronto, one guy says the Giants.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You know, I'll say Seattle, Meritiers.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I just throw stuff out and then you know, maybe
you're right, you're just throwing stuff against the wall. Now,
speaking of baseball, this is not a trade. This is
not a trade. But there was a story that got
some attention here from the winter meetings. It involves Blue Heaven,
which isn't Blue Heaven. In October, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
announcing that all Mookie Betts will no longer be playing
(08:03):
the outfield for the Dodgers, say, why yeah, Mookie Bets
will now be the everyday second baseman. Now keeping my
last year, the Dodgers played him half the time and
second half the time in the outfield, so now they're
going all in. Bets is thirty one years old, he's
got the forever contract. He's a really good bowler, we
(08:23):
know that actually lives in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's where he's from. His homestead is in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But he was the second basement against right handed pitching
for the Dodgers last year. So now going forward, he
will play all games at second base. Now, the Dodgers
claim that, and Dave Roberts' argument is playing Mookie Bets
at second base will be.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Easier on his body. Now, we're not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That seems kind of silly, considering that if you're at
second base or involved in all the action a lot
more than you are in the outfield. You can go
several innings in the outfield with no balls being hit
to you in the outfield. So at second base there's
always stuff going on. You got to cover the bag
or whatever anyway. So that's the story. So where are
(09:09):
you at? Where are you at? On Mookie Bets playing
second base full time for Dodger Blue. So I have
no problem where Mooki Bets plays. For all I care,
he could play catcher. My problem with Mookie Bets is
the underlying condition the guy is a ball to suck
in the playoffs lately. That's my problem with Mookie Bets.
(09:30):
I got no problem with where he plays. If he
wants to play second base, if he wants to pitch,
I'd put him on the mound. The guy has an
eighty batting average in the postseason the last two years.
That's an underlying condition. That's the problem. That is the problem.
A full time second base move is a bit of
a smoke screen. It's a diversionary tactic, right, You're trying
(09:51):
to throw people off the scent if you will, confuse
and to see you. But Mookie bets, Yeah, you put him.
I don't care where where you put him. Just get
a hit. Play like a dude during the regular season.
I don't go out there and then you look like
you're dying to get to a bowling alley in Nashville
and go on the Pro Bowling Tour. Just play like
(10:15):
you do in the regular season. Easier said than done,
I know. But they are paying you ridiculous amounts of
money to do that. It's kind of your job, all right.
Parting shot. A lot of chatter involving the cheating A
one thousand and two one thousand holes, A lot of
noise about the A holes trading. Third baseman Alex Bregman
(10:36):
now they're denying it. The a holes are denying it.
But they're liars and cheaters and scoundrels, So why would
you believe anything they say. They have no moral compass
in Houston.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
None.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So Alex Bregman, the cheating a hole, his name has
been tossed out at the Winter Meetings. Now, nothing's happened
as we are talking yet, but that doesn't mean it's
not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So give me your school of thought on cheating a one.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
One thousand and two one thousand hole. Alex Bregman's trade
value at the Winter meeting. So Alex Bregman is the
white elephant. That is what Alex Bregman is. He's the
booby prize tainted love. He's a cheater. He's a dirty,
rotten cheater. He's a miserable cheater. And for the rest
(11:23):
of his life he's been given the scarlet letter. It's
a C for cheater. That's Alex Bregman. He's one of
the masterminds of the single biggest North American cheating scandal
that we have witnessed here and really not just North America.
You can go around the world considering they were not
(11:43):
punished in the persnickety rob manfraud the commissioner look the
other way and in fact ran interference. What a gutless commissioner,
rob manfer Is ran interference for the cheaters in Houston.
And no justice, no peace. We will never forget. No justice,
no peace, the cheat a holes. None of them got punished.
None of the players got punished, none of them. But
(12:05):
the other thing about Bregman, not only is he a
miserable cheater, but the other issue for Bregman is he's
got this pretentious, smarmy arrogance to him, the very snotty
Lodi Da type way he carries himself. And the only
(12:25):
place for Bregman and I believe he's a Scott Boris guy.
And Boris always goes to the listpitter. But I wonder
if Scott Boris learned his lesson with the last cheating
a hole in Carlos Correa that wandered off the reservation
and had to crawl back to the Minnesota Twins and
beg for a contract. But Alex cheating Bregman of the
(12:46):
A holes, he's got, He's got Boris as his guy.
He's got I believe, one year left on his contract.
But his value is higher in an A Hole uniform
than anywhere else. And the reason being that is a
town that embraces dirty baseball players. That is a town
that worships cheaters. That is a town that respects these
kind of losers that wear that uniform. The fan base,
(13:10):
deplorable fan base of the Houston a Holes. They embrace Bregman. Right,
He's not gonna be embraced anywhere else. No one else
is gonna embrace him the way they do in Houston,
So you might as well stay there. You're not gonna
get as much money, but your value. You sign a
free agent to create an excitement, create bus there's none
(13:30):
of that. There's zipboll of that with Bregman going to
another town because he's got all that baggage.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It is the.

(16:41):
In the Mallard militia, we go to the great Unwashed
the hoy ploy to see if they have the answer.
I'd see your page down Milkman, Mike says used Marcel
and Felexus's food guide. Who else do we have? Ferk dog,
says an Angel, Well, thanks to the almighty power of
(17:03):
seer Stones magic eight ball guessed by Donkey's Sausage a
consulting a fishmonger from late night drug tester.
Speaker 2 (17:15):

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Page down? Justin in Cincinnati? Said Robbie? Oh, how'd you
find footage of Robbie there?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Justin? Very interesting? Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
CJ from the airport in DC, says the barbecue Chicken
Juicy Lucy.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Wow, that looks pretty good. Not gonna lie. That does
not look bad.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Alf the Alien Opiner says that Robert Salo was consulting
with a double quarter pounder with cheese.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That was the answer.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Casey Carr Holler says, Andrea Virgo in service is the answer.
Sean and Portland going with the costco sample lady as
his answer.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Who else do we have? A page down.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Diner owner in Newark, New Jersey from Eke and Roseville, Minnesota,
courtesy Flusher says a gypsy fortune teller is the answer
to the mallor riddle of the day. Kathy and Madison
said that Robert Sala was consulting an ayahuasca hallucination he
had while relaxing with Aaron.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, that makes perfect sense. That makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Fields of Green says he consulted with a bouncer from
the local jiggle joint, But that is the answer. Robin
Minnesota says consulted Blair in Maine, plus discussed a few
more of Blair's hobbies Broadway choreographers from My and B
All right, Eddie, do you have an answer? It is
not his therapist Fraser Crane guessed by Rory.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's not the answer.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
He consulted a sports talk radio host.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You're going with a sports talk radio host where the
answer is no, a former sports talk radio host. That
he just Joe Beningo of he was a big star
w F and back in the day. But he I
guess he does a podcast. That's what that's our future
doing a podcast. But Joe claims that he consulted Robert Now,
you were not right. He's not no longer doing He's
(19:11):
a former sports radio but he's not a sports radio game.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You No, You're wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
H He says he consulted Robert Salah about playing Zach Wilson.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's the why would he do that story?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't know that he would do that or not.
But Robert Salaz seems like he's a nice guy. Maybe
he was text friends with Joe Beningo. Hey, Bill Belichick
was text buddy or email email buddies with Beningo back
in the day. Why wouldn't Robert Salaby Belichick's the all
time amazing one, and he would listen Belichick back in
(19:49):
the old days would listen to sports radio, probably still
does on his way into the Jets facility. And I
had Beningo told me the story, I was a Shay Stadium.
The Dodgers were playing the Mets, and he wrapped me.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Give me the whole story about.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, we became penpals him in Belichick.

Speaker 5 (20:30):

is that old guy going to be there?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That old guy? I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't know he's going to be there or not.
But I invite everybody. You know, some people say you

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Let's go to the phones. Soria is in Boston. What's

Speaker 6 (20:54):
Hey, he's ben Mally. We went over this the other day.
It's Souria.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
Come on, I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Sorry, I'm sorryorry about that.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, I see Sordia right, See that Jay looks like
an L.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
On the screen. Though, that's the problem. It looks like
a J.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
How you guys can put it like a little sticky
on a computer set appreciated.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
What the hell is this Sordia?
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna spell it out like more phonetically.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well no, I mean I just looked over and I saw,
but yeah, you have we had this conversation.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Is it Sergia or just Sordia?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Sia?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
What I was talking sore jaw like sordiaw like it's
like Georgia with a right.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Like Okay, no, this is the content I need seriously,
of course, of course.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Listen, man, I'm in the card care member of the
Malay Militia for.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Years now, right, well, thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
I'm up for no right. But I think that if show,
after all this media circus, after all this hubbubs, right,
if he stays with the Angels, I feel like it's
like the Game of Thrones ending where no one's happy
with the ending, because think about it, I'm happy with
the ending.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, you're wrong, Kobe would be excited with their own
Angels can go another seven years without, you know, winning
a playoff game, you'd be excited about it.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Yeah, but what I mean, I I just my biggest
thing is I hate seeing great players and just miserable situations.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I mean, but he's happy. Listen.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Playing for the Angels is great because no media covers
the Angels. The LA media ignores the Angels. The Angels
pr department hates the media.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
They moved the press box down near the foul pole,
so no media. Even if they thought about going to
the game, they would never go to the game.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Uh. And so you play Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The fans are respectful and it's a great place to live.
You can live in Orange County, live on the beach
like Mike Trout, have a have a big home right
there in Laguna Beach, and do whatever you want and
then knock yourself out.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Listen, man, I'm telling you what if me and Mike Trout,
if we trot down on a hell, I'm telling you,
I think more people recognize me than Mike Trout.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Well you're a sergeant, come on, man. Yeah no, but
maybe that's what they want. Maybe that's they're cool with that.
You can make four hundred and five hundred million dollars
and nobody knows who you are, and you go to
Starbucks and people like, all right, here's your latte. Knock
yourself out, Hey man, all right, soldier, all right, make
(23:35):
sure you renew your membership to the Mallard Militia. All right,
don't forget I go away, there you go. Let's say
hello to Van the one legged Bambon Man. By the way,

those other things would have gotten in Ohio State and
Georgia and Park State.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But well, next year it's going to be all about
the seating. It'll be all the matchups.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
And this year is not so much about that. That'll
be crazy.
Speaker 8 (24:33):
Hey, I want to talk about something you talk about
also and me and you have talked about. Is the
the regular season great record. There's not a quate doing
good in the playoffs like our braids, my braids, and
your dog.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's correct, Yes, it has. There's no correlation in baseball.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
US in Boston in the last year's NBA. I think
Philadelphia might be that team this year. I know they
just got their but gig, but they're still teaming two.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You're making that's an early It's still a bunch of
weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
He were gonna get through.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Week fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And all that. But you're calling you shot right now. See.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I look at that Philadelphia team and I'm not gonna
overreact because they got smoked by the forty nine ers.
But the numbers coming into that game were not encouraging,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Man?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Like the numbers, the reason that the forty nine ers
were favored. We mentioned this on the TV show The
reason the forty nine Ers were favoring that game is
because all the nerd stats were heavily in favor of
the forty nine Ers and the Eagles. They're reminiscent. The
year they've had to this point is like the Vikings
of last year that were total frauds, that won a
(25:47):
bunch of close games but didn't dominate anyone. So that's
the concern. That's the concern.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
But I love watching Jalen Hurts and he's played great
at the end of games.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
He's made a lot of mistakes this year also turned
the ball over a bunch, But I'm not I don't
see them at this point based on what I just
saw against the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I mean, I'm not going right there. I'm not going
with you Van.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
I'm not on your well in the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But by the process of elimination Van, the one legged
Bamba man, and I can I mentioned earlier, I can
make an argument against just about everybody in the NFL.
It's easier to make an argument against them than for them.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Right.
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Yeah, Well, I've got my futures on Philly, San Francisco, Inc. Okay,
Geefs and the Ravens and got three.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I came from it.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, so many bets you don't even remember who you've
been on.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
I bet too many bits.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, that's yeah. Yeah, it is a problem. You got
to be careful, man, I have to da all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Moderation. Moderation is the key that you don't get too
carried away. Well, good luck, man, What uick?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Quick thing? What do you ever eat a big Man?
Have I eaten a Big Mac? And not recently? Not recently?
I have not. No.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Okay, they supusbly gotten the probably changed it up, but
it hadn't got down here to the south yet started
in California.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I was ordering to do.
Speaker 8 (27:12):
I'm not a big McDonald's fan.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
But it is close. No, I don't have a problem
with McDonald's, but I haven't.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You know, I don't eat much anyway anymore, so when
I do eat, I'm not eating McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You know what I'm saying. I'm going somewhere else. But yeah,
I've heard it's small of the Big Mac that I
gotta go. I gotta I think all hang up.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Some college football news involving some quarterbacks, and this is
the new world in which we live in, uh new
world order, I guess, so a couple of the starting
quarterbacks for major programs are looking for some greener pastors.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
On the move interested.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I mean, you would think that those schools would take
care of him pretty well. But anyway, Oklahoma quarterback Dylan
Gabriel announced he is entering the transfer portal, and Ohio
State quarterback Kyle McCord answering the transfer portal as well.
I think the most interesting one though, did you see
Alabama quarterback Tyler Buckner. Uh, he was at Notre Dame,
(28:11):
played a couple of games, transferred Alabama played a couple
of games. He has entered the transfer portal as well.
As a lacrosse player. Apparently he was it looks like it. Yeah,
he apparently was some big shot high school lacrosse player.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
He's gonna have quite the collection of football helmets. Yeah,
Alabama Notre Dame. He's also get that one. Yeah. Our
guy Tim mcderby, who gives us a lot of content
on on social media there, says that he's apparently going
to return to Notre Dame to play lacrosse. Well, good
for him, as knock yourself. Lacrosse very popular in the Northeast,
(28:50):
very popular, very yeah popular, yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
What would you? How would you?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I would say, compared to everywhere else I've been, it's
like the most popular.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
They gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
No, that's a big deal. Like the college lacrosse and
all that. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So here's my fun fact. We'd like to alard all
the affiliates. Fun fact here the Miami Dolphins following the
game on Monday night. The Miami Dolphins, thirteen weeks in
the NFL season, are the number one overall seed in
the American One. The last time the Dolphins were the
number one seed in December or later was over twenty
(29:28):
years ago. Twenty two was the last time the Dolphins
were a number one seed. They have the same record
as the Ravens at nine to three, but based on
all the tie breakers, strength to schedule, all that other nonsense,
the Miami Dolphins are the number one seed in the
American Football Conference. It is the Ben Mathers Show. That
(29:52):
means absolutely buppkus, other than you get a bye week
if you do finish as the number one seed, which
is kind of cool, but it doesn't guarantee a damn
thing when the playoffs begin.

story from the winter meetings in Tennessee. What is gonna

(00:21):
Otani's MLB future? And where are you on Mookie Betts.
He's in the Sporting News here in baseball Mookie bets
the Dodgers making him a full time second baseman in
twenty twenty four. And give me your school of thought
on Houston third baseman Alex Bregman's trade value. His name
(00:41):
has been tossed out as trade fodder at the winter
meetings in Nashville. We'll talk about that as well. Right
now here, it is our number three. Let the betting,
Let the betting, let the binding, Let the bidding begin. Welcome,

Show be in our headline this hour from Nashville Music City.
(01:55):
Why because that is where the Winter Meetings are going
on right now. There's a lot of big shots from
Major League Baseball that are running up expense accounts as
we speak.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's an open bar hanging.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Out there having a great time in Music City.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The wheeling and dealing.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
We've seen some trades, not too many trades since the
Winter Meetings actually began. We saw in the weekend leading
into the Winter Meetings there were some transactions, but much
of the focus in the wee hours of the morning
about Otani show. Hey Otani. Now, if you've not heard
the latest, and maybe not, there are stories breaking here
(02:33):
in the late night. Now now we're hearing the reports.
Some reports, hey Otani's going to the Dodgers. Others say
he's actually considering staying in Anaheim. Say what buster Olney,
who claims to have insider information, said, an agent believes
that Otani will end up re signing to return to
(02:53):
the Big A, and he gave a bunch of reasons
devoted to his routine. No organization would offer him more
autonomy and all that. Now there's another report saying that
Oltani's close to signing with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
A late night report out of the Winter Meetings indicating
that show hey O TI, I love the weasel word.
Here was believed believed to have met with the Toronto
Blue Jays at their spring training complex in Florida on Monday.
As the Winter Meetings, we're getting going Otani hanging out
(03:30):
in what dun.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Eden, Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I believe he is the spring training home it used
to be of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So those are the reports.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Maybe he was in Florida golfing, or maybe he wasn't
there at all. Who knows, So let us discuss. As
the New York Post and Coop reference this year reporting
that Otani could get over six hundred million dollars. I
don't believe we'll get that much, but he'll likely break
the five hundred million dollar threshold if he signs a
long term contract. So the question here is how do
(03:59):
you die? So how do you dissect the various reports
about sho Hey Otani and his major League Baseball future?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Roller coaster underlying condition and white elephant, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the Rocky Mountain horror show, which is what
a number of teams are going to be dealing with
if they do not get show Hey Otani.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Now the lead off here, there's.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
A lot of hot air flowing, a lot of hot airflown.
We have not gotten to the point yet where Otani
has been spotted looking at country clubs.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I always love that story. Now I don't think he's
got any kids.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So the other story we would get is Otani was
looking at private schools for his children. That's always a
fun thing in free agency when those stories pop up.
But I do enjoy the fact that the Major League
Baseball insider crowd is hyperventilating, desperate for any nugget that
will put them over the top on the Otani sweepstakes. Unfortunately,
(05:07):
Otani is tight lipped. That's the big the big story
here that Otani is not somebody that wants to leak anything.
And his camp, if there is such a thing as
an Otani camp, they're not leaking anything.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So there's no insider information to get. That's a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
If you're in the business, the cottage industry of coming
up with rumors every day, clickety click, it becomes a problem.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's the key, the clickery click. You got to get
people clicking.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And Otani News feeds the beast, and the beast has
a hungry belly, and so you got to feed the beast.
It's like a dramatic mini series. It's a roller coaster
with Otani News. It's equal parts exhilarating, frightening, all of
the above, adrenaline charge. I love the well somebody close
(05:55):
to Otani told me who is that? Somebody that made
him a sandwich one time at a at a place
in Orange.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Like, what are we getting at here?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But these stories now, the Blue Jays one, the latest,
the Dodger story, so we got all time. One report
says he's going to the essentially the Blue Jays. One
says he's going to the Dodgers. Another says he's going
to the Angels. You can stay in Anaheim. Is there
anything about the Giants? I haven't thinking about the Giants
connecting him directly to the Giants that he's gonna sign
there or to the Red Sox or see. At some point,
(06:27):
there's a scam in the gambling world, which I guess
I'm kind of in now because of the TV show.
Their scam Dey Captors is what they are, and what
they do is it's like they used to have these
things back in the day. We'd call up to get
a free pick of the day. Right, here's our free
pick of the day, you know, take to so and so,
and what they would do is half the people would
get one team. Half the people would get the other team.
(06:48):
So they were guaranteed it fifty percent of the people
would get a winning pick. So then what they would
do is for the fifty percent of people that they
had their phone numbers, they would then call up those
people that got the right pick, and they do it again.
Half the people would get one team, half the people
would get the other team. So's you keep doing this
(07:08):
and at some point somebody's got like five straight winning picks.
So they think you're the smartest person in the world.
So then they will buy. Right, they'll buy what you're
selling even though you.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You just you just scammed them. Right. It's just a
total scam, is what it is. But all of this
is taking up a lot of bandwidth. Uh, and it's
good reading.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's you know, it's like so you just like one
guy says Toronto, one guy says the Giants.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You know, I'll say Seattle, Meritiers.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I just throw stuff out and then you know, maybe
you're right, you're just throwing stuff against the wall. Now,
speaking of baseball, this is not a trade. This is
not a trade. But there was a story that got
some attention here from the winter meetings. It involves Blue Heaven,
which isn't Blue Heaven. In October, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
announcing that all Mookie Betts will no longer be playing
(08:03):
the outfield for the Dodgers, say, why yeah, Mookie Bets
will now be the everyday second baseman. Now keeping my
last year, the Dodgers played him half the time and
second half the time in the outfield, so now they're
going all in. Bets is thirty one years old, he's
got the forever contract. He's a really good bowler, we
(08:23):
know that actually lives in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's where he's from. His homestead is in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But he was the second basement against right handed pitching
for the Dodgers last year. So now going forward, he
will play all games at second base. Now, the Dodgers
claim that, and Dave Roberts' argument is playing Mookie Bets
at second base will be.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Easier on his body. Now, we're not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That seems kind of silly, considering that if you're at
second base or involved in all the action a lot
more than you are in the outfield. You can go
several innings in the outfield with no balls being hit
to you in the outfield. So at second base there's
always stuff going on. You got to cover the bag
or whatever anyway. So that's the story. So where are
(09:09):
you at? Where are you at? On Mookie Bets playing
second base full time for Dodger Blue. So I have
no problem where Mooki Bets plays. For all I care,
he could play catcher. My problem with Mookie Bets is
the underlying condition the guy is a ball to suck
in the playoffs lately. That's my problem with Mookie Bets.
(09:30):
I got no problem with where he plays. If he
wants to play second base, if he wants to pitch,
I'd put him on the mound. The guy has an
eighty batting average in the postseason the last two years.
That's an underlying condition. That's the problem. That is the problem.
A full time second base move is a bit of
a smoke screen. It's a diversionary tactic, right, You're trying
(09:51):
to throw people off the scent if you will, confuse
and to see you. But Mookie bets, Yeah, you put him.
I don't care where where you put him. Just get
a hit. Play like a dude during the regular season.
I don't go out there and then you look like
you're dying to get to a bowling alley in Nashville
and go on the Pro Bowling Tour. Just play like
(10:15):
you do in the regular season. Easier said than done,
I know. But they are paying you ridiculous amounts of
money to do that. It's kind of your job, all right.
Parting shot. A lot of chatter involving the cheating A
one thousand and two one thousand holes, A lot of
noise about the A holes trading. Third baseman Alex Bregman
(10:36):
now they're denying it. The a holes are denying it.
But they're liars and cheaters and scoundrels, So why would
you believe anything they say. They have no moral compass
in Houston.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
None.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So Alex Bregman, the cheating a hole, his name has
been tossed out at the Winter Meetings. Now, nothing's happened
as we are talking yet, but that doesn't mean it's
not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So give me your school of thought on cheating a one.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
One thousand and two one thousand hole. Alex Bregman's trade
value at the Winter meeting. So Alex Bregman is the
white elephant. That is what Alex Bregman is. He's the
booby prize tainted love. He's a cheater. He's a dirty,
rotten cheater. He's a miserable cheater. And for the rest
(11:23):
of his life he's been given the scarlet letter. It's
a C for cheater. That's Alex Bregman. He's one of
the masterminds of the single biggest North American cheating scandal
that we have witnessed here and really not just North America.
You can go around the world considering they were not
(11:43):
punished in the persnickety rob manfraud the commissioner look the
other way and in fact ran interference. What a gutless commissioner,
rob manfer Is ran interference for the cheaters in Houston.
And no justice, no peace. We will never forget. No justice,
no peace, the cheat a holes. None of them got punished.
None of the players got punished, none of them. But
(12:05):
the other thing about Bregman, not only is he a
miserable cheater, but the other issue for Bregman is he's
got this pretentious, smarmy arrogance to him, the very snotty
Lodi Da type way he carries himself. And the only
(12:25):
place for Bregman and I believe he's a Scott Boris guy.
And Boris always goes to the listpitter. But I wonder
if Scott Boris learned his lesson with the last cheating
a hole in Carlos Correa that wandered off the reservation
and had to crawl back to the Minnesota Twins and
beg for a contract. But Alex cheating Bregman of the
(12:46):
A holes, he's got, He's got Boris as his guy.
He's got I believe, one year left on his contract.
But his value is higher in an A Hole uniform
than anywhere else. And the reason being that is a
town that embraces dirty baseball players. That is a town
that worships cheaters. That is a town that respects these
kind of losers that wear that uniform. The fan base,
(13:10):
deplorable fan base of the Houston a Holes. They embrace Bregman. Right,
He's not gonna be embraced anywhere else. No one else
is gonna embrace him the way they do in Houston,
So you might as well stay there. You're not gonna
get as much money, but your value. You sign a
free agent to create an excitement, create bus there's none
(13:30):
of that. There's zipboll of that with Bregman going to
another town because he's got all that baggage.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It is the.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Alright, that's fine, that's fine, all right. It is the
Ben Maller Show. Time to pay off the Mallar Riddle
of the day. And here is the Mallard Riddle of
the day. New York Jets coach Robert Sala has been
accused of consulting a blank about playing Zach Wilson and
the answer right now, Let's see, does anyone know the answer?
(16:41):
In the Mallard militia, we go to the great Unwashed
the hoy ploy to see if they have the answer.
I'd see your page down Milkman, Mike says used Marcel
and Felexus's food guide. Who else do we have? Ferk dog,
says an Angel, Well, thanks to the almighty power of
(17:03):
seer Stones magic eight ball guessed by Donkey's Sausage a
consulting a fishmonger from late night drug tester.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Page down? Justin in Cincinnati? Said Robbie? Oh, how'd you
find footage of Robbie there?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Justin? Very interesting? Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
CJ from the airport in DC, says the barbecue Chicken
Juicy Lucy.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Wow, that looks pretty good. Not gonna lie. That does
not look bad.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Alf the Alien Opiner says that Robert Salo was consulting
with a double quarter pounder with cheese.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That was the answer.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Casey Carr Holler says, Andrea Virgo in service is the answer.
Sean and Portland going with the costco sample lady as
his answer.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Who else do we have? A page down.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Diner owner in Newark, New Jersey from Eke and Roseville, Minnesota,
courtesy Flusher says a gypsy fortune teller is the answer
to the mallor riddle of the day. Kathy and Madison
said that Robert Sala was consulting an ayahuasca hallucination he
had while relaxing with Aaron.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, that makes perfect sense. That makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Fields of Green says he consulted with a bouncer from
the local jiggle joint, But that is the answer. Robin
Minnesota says consulted Blair in Maine, plus discussed a few
more of Blair's hobbies Broadway choreographers from My and B
All right, Eddie, do you have an answer? It is
not his therapist Fraser Crane guessed by Rory.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's not the answer.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
He consulted a sports talk radio host.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You're going with a sports talk radio host where the
answer is no, a former sports talk radio host. That
he just Joe Beningo of he was a big star
w F and back in the day. But he I
guess he does a podcast. That's what that's our future
doing a podcast. But Joe claims that he consulted Robert Now,
you were not right. He's not no longer doing He's
(19:11):
a former sports radio but he's not a sports radio game.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You No, You're wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
H He says he consulted Robert Salah about playing Zach Wilson.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's the why would he do that story?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't know that he would do that or not.
But Robert Salaz seems like he's a nice guy. Maybe
he was text friends with Joe Beningo. Hey, Bill Belichick
was text buddy or email email buddies with Beningo back
in the day. Why wouldn't Robert Salaby Belichick's the all
time amazing one, and he would listen Belichick back in
(19:49):
the old days would listen to sports radio, probably still
does on his way into the Jets facility. And I
had Beningo told me the story, I was a Shay Stadium.
The Dodgers were playing the Mets, and he wrapped me.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Give me the whole story about.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, we became penpals him in Belichick.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Anyway, let's go to the phones by the way, real quick,
real quick?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
What speaking of old you know radio people?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I love old radio people.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Uh mallord party this weekend?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh that's right, the malor ugly sweater parties.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Is that old guy going to be there?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't. I don't know. Nobody's really are as VP
people just show up or don't show up. I don't know.
I don't know you Are you not going to show
up if he's there?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
No, no, of course not. But just my wife asked me,
is that old guy going to be there?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That old guy? I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't know he's going to be there or not.
But I invite everybody. You know, some people say you
get to a certain age. I don't invite you as No,
I invite everyone. I don't care, because I do want
to be invited places when I'm old or whatever, So
I don't care. Who cares.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Let's go to the phones. Soria is in Boston. What's
going on? Sia?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Hey, he's ben Mally. We went over this the other day.
It's Souria.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
Come on, I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Sorry, I'm sorryorry about that.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, I see Sordia right, See that Jay looks like
an L.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
On the screen. Though, that's the problem. It looks like
a J.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
How you guys can put it like a little sticky
on a computer set appreciated.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
What the hell is this Sordia?
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna spell it out like more phonetically.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well no, I mean I just looked over and I saw,
but yeah, you have we had this conversation.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Is it Sergia or just Sordia?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Sia?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
What I was talking sore jaw like sordiaw like it's
like Georgia with a right.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Like Okay, no, this is the content I need seriously,
of course, of course.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Listen, man, I'm in the card care member of the
Malay Militia for.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Years now, right, well, thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
I'm up for no right. But I think that if show,
after all this media circus, after all this hubbubs, right,
if he stays with the Angels, I feel like it's
like the Game of Thrones ending where no one's happy
with the ending, because think about it, I'm happy with
the ending.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, you're wrong, Kobe would be excited with their own
Angels can go another seven years without, you know, winning
a playoff game, you'd be excited about it.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Yeah, but what I mean, I I just my biggest
thing is I hate seeing great players and just miserable situations.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I mean, but he's happy. Listen.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Playing for the Angels is great because no media covers
the Angels. The LA media ignores the Angels. The Angels
pr department hates the media.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
They moved the press box down near the foul pole,
so no media. Even if they thought about going to
the game, they would never go to the game.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Uh. And so you play Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The fans are respectful and it's a great place to live.
You can live in Orange County, live on the beach
like Mike Trout, have a have a big home right
there in Laguna Beach, and do whatever you want and
then knock yourself out.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Listen, man, I'm telling you what if me and Mike Trout,
if we trot down on a hell, I'm telling you,
I think more people recognize me than Mike Trout.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Well you're a sergeant, come on, man. Yeah no, but
maybe that's what they want. Maybe that's they're cool with that.
You can make four hundred and five hundred million dollars
and nobody knows who you are, and you go to
Starbucks and people like, all right, here's your latte. Knock
yourself out, Hey man, all right, soldier, all right, make
(23:35):
sure you renew your membership to the Mallard Militia. All right,
don't forget I go away, there you go. Let's say
hello to Van the one legged Bambon Man. By the way,
we are gonna have Malleards amount of money. So if
you want to play Mallards amount of money, call right now.
Operators are standing by eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
(23:58):
We're gonna have Mallards Mountain, and I need two people
from Mallard's mounting of money. But right now we say
hello to Van the one legged Mama Man.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Hello Van, Hello, Skinny Bennie, Happy.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Hanukah, congratulations Van on your Alabama Crimson tide roll tide.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
He's slid in there.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
We'll take it.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
Yeah, this should have happened next year, and then all
those other things would have gotten in Ohio State and
Georgia and Park State.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But well, next year it's going to be all about
the seating. It'll be all the matchups.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
And this year is not so much about that. That'll
be crazy.
Speaker 8 (24:33):
Hey, I want to talk about something you talk about
also and me and you have talked about. Is the
the regular season great record. There's not a quate doing
good in the playoffs like our braids, my braids, and
your dog.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's correct, Yes, it has. There's no correlation in baseball.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
US in Boston in the last year's NBA. I think
Philadelphia might be that team this year. I know they
just got their but gig, but they're still teaming two.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You're making that's an early It's still a bunch of
weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
He were gonna get through.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Week fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And all that. But you're calling you shot right now. See.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I look at that Philadelphia team and I'm not gonna
overreact because they got smoked by the forty nine ers.
But the numbers coming into that game were not encouraging,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Man?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Like the numbers, the reason that the forty nine ers
were favored. We mentioned this on the TV show The
reason the forty nine Ers were favoring that game is
because all the nerd stats were heavily in favor of
the forty nine Ers and the Eagles. They're reminiscent. The
year they've had to this point is like the Vikings
of last year that were total frauds, that won a
(25:47):
bunch of close games but didn't dominate anyone. So that's
the concern. That's the concern.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
But I love watching Jalen Hurts and he's played great
at the end of games.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
He's made a lot of mistakes this year also turned
the ball over a bunch, But I'm not I don't
see them at this point based on what I just
saw against the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I mean, I'm not going right there. I'm not going
with you Van.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
I'm not on your well in the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But by the process of elimination Van, the one legged
Bamba man, and I can I mentioned earlier, I can
make an argument against just about everybody in the NFL.
It's easier to make an argument against them than for them.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Right.
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Yeah, Well, I've got my futures on Philly, San Francisco, Inc. Okay,
Geefs and the Ravens and got three.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I came from it.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, so many bets you don't even remember who you've
been on.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
I bet too many bits.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, that's yeah. Yeah, it is a problem. You got
to be careful, man, I have to da all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Moderation. Moderation is the key that you don't get too
carried away. Well, good luck, man, What uick?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Quick thing? What do you ever eat a big Man?
Have I eaten a Big Mac? And not recently? Not recently?
I have not. No.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Okay, they supusbly gotten the probably changed it up, but
it hadn't got down here to the south yet started
in California.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I was ordering to do.
Speaker 8 (27:12):
I'm not a big McDonald's fan.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
But it is close. No, I don't have a problem
with McDonald's, but I haven't.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You know, I don't eat much anyway anymore, so when
I do eat, I'm not eating McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You know what I'm saying. I'm going somewhere else. But yeah,
I've heard it's small of the Big Mac that I
gotta go. I gotta I think all hang up.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Some college football news involving some quarterbacks, and this is
the new world in which we live in, uh new
world order, I guess, so a couple of the starting
quarterbacks for major programs are looking for some greener pastors.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
On the move interested.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I mean, you would think that those schools would take
care of him pretty well. But anyway, Oklahoma quarterback Dylan
Gabriel announced he is entering the transfer portal, and Ohio
State quarterback Kyle McCord answering the transfer portal as well.
I think the most interesting one though, did you see
Alabama quarterback Tyler Buckner. Uh, he was at Notre Dame,
(28:11):
played a couple of games, transferred Alabama played a couple
of games. He has entered the transfer portal as well.
As a lacrosse player. Apparently he was it looks like it. Yeah,
he apparently was some big shot high school lacrosse player.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
He's gonna have quite the collection of football helmets. Yeah,
Alabama Notre Dame. He's also get that one. Yeah. Our
guy Tim mcderby, who gives us a lot of content
on on social media there, says that he's apparently going
to return to Notre Dame to play lacrosse. Well, good
for him, as knock yourself. Lacrosse very popular in the Northeast,
(28:50):
very popular, very yeah popular, yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
What would you? How would you?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I would say, compared to everywhere else I've been, it's
like the most popular.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
They gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
No, that's a big deal. Like the college lacrosse and
all that. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So here's my fun fact. We'd like to alard all
the affiliates. Fun fact here the Miami Dolphins following the
game on Monday night. The Miami Dolphins, thirteen weeks in
the NFL season, are the number one overall seed in
the American One. The last time the Dolphins were the
number one seed in December or later was over twenty
(29:28):
years ago. Twenty two was the last time the Dolphins
were a number one seed. They have the same record
as the Ravens at nine to three, but based on
all the tie breakers, strength to schedule, all that other nonsense,
the Miami Dolphins are the number one seed in the
American Football Conference. It is the Ben Mathers Show. That
(29:52):
means absolutely buppkus, other than you get a bye week
if you do finish as the number one seed, which
is kind of cool, but it doesn't guarantee a damn
thing when the playoffs begin.
