Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our nameberfore our four ready to go? And how
credible is the story of Robert Kraft meddling with Bill
Belichick and keeping him from getting the Falcon job? Wild
story bouncing around this week? Also who else looks bad
in this Bill Belichick? Falcons expose a And what do
(00:26):
you make of Belichick dipping his toes into the sports
media world? Fighting the good fight, doing what we're doing
for a living. Well, coming at you, smoking hot right now.
All of that and more here it is our number four.
Have a wonderful Thursday. NFL owners, they say the darnedest
(00:48):
things well come. In the beginning of yet another hour
of the Ben Maller Show, we are in the air,
EveryWare squirming because we know the Candyman can coast the coast,
port of the border and beyond on the vast and
(01:10):
ludicrously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from the talk
as we talk a mile a minute. We're broadcasting live
from the Tirach dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will
help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
(01:35):
Tyract dot com the way tire buying should be in
our lead this hour. Call this the crafty Devil Malard monologue.
Oh yeah, Robert, I've been saving this. I've been saying,
right in my wheelhouse, this is right in my you know,
my wheelhouse. This is right in my wheelhouse. It is
(01:58):
so if somehow you have not been paying attention, we
have palace injury here.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
We assume you've.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Heard by now about the very wordy expose by Seth
Wickersham and some other people who we don't know who
they are, and Wickersham and friends chronically, how the Atlanta
Falcons were this close to closing the deal and hiring
the greatest coach in NFL history of Bill Belichick, but
(02:27):
then at the very last minute they got cold feet.
They passed on hiring the winningest coach in NFL history
to hire a guy that was an abject failure in
his head coaching run Raheem Morris. So, but maybe you
missed the details on this, And so we move ahead
in the story now, skipping all the fluff. We don't
(02:48):
care about the fluff. You can get that elsewhere. We
are going to get to the meat on the bone
and the meat on.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The bone here.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Patriots owner Robert Kraft is accused of being part of
the reason why the Falcons passed on Belichick, and the
way the story is being presented, he was a big
part of the reason why the Atlanta football team decided
they didn't want to do business with Bill Belichick. Craft
is said to have issued a stark warning, warning, warning, warning, warning,
(03:19):
warning to the Falcons owner there, Arthur Blank, one of
the guys that started at home depot literally started the business,
saying Craft that you can't trust Belichick.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now, the implications rather clear.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Even if you're a little slow, little groggy, you can
figure this out that Robert Craft's words were poison They
were the poison pill. Now immediately, New England pr hacks
categorically denied the almost five thousand words story. So we
have a he said, he said situation. You've got the
(03:58):
report that claim to have I believe twelve sources they
claimed around the NFL, both with Belichick and people that
worked for the Falcons and whatnot Patriots. So let us
discuss the question how credible is the story of Robert
Kraft meddling with Bill Belichick getting the Falcons job. So
(04:22):
I've got toothache spreadsheet, and property brothers, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the Baba Canoosh, We're gonna make the Barba Canoons.
Now to lead off here, Okay, I read the story.
(04:45):
There were parts of it that I didn't really care
for here were kind of boring to me, and then
I found the meat of it and I was like,
that's pretty good, and that's a solid, solid report. Could
have been a little shorter, could have been a little shorter.
So on this one, I am drinking the fruit punch
flavor Aid, not the kool Aid, the flavor Aid. Very believable, right,
very believable. This explains why there was that last minute
(05:11):
you turned by the Falcons. It's like there was a
traffic break by the patrol. They said, I've got to
close the road. Multiple outlets reported that Bill Bella, these
are supposedly incredible people, that Bill Belichick was getting the
Atlanta Falcons coaching job. And that was right up until
Arthur Blank actually checked the references. Who actually checks references.
(05:36):
I've had many people I've worked with here at Fox
Sports Radio over the years and other places that have
used me as a reference I have never ever been
contacted by anyone saying, hey, should I hire this guy?
But Arthur Blank checked in with Robert Kraft. According to
this story, they're besties. They are besties, of course they are.
And Robert Kraft sand bagged Bill bell check. He gave
(06:00):
him a haymaker.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
He did.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
If you believe the story, Arthur Blank trusted the words
of a fellow robber, Baron, and Kraft painted his former
coach as essentially a toothache, that throbbing, annoying pain coming
from your tooth.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You can't really anything, just terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And Bill Belichick, in the eyes of Robert Craft, so
toxic because of his curmudgety ways.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The implication also is that Robert Kraft told the Blank that.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You're essentially not going to get, you know, any any
human like answers from Belichick. You're going to get the
cold answer. And that was part of the reason, because
Kraft wants a mister nice guy as coach, and I
would hire a douchebag if they're good at their job.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I would.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
There's a lot of successful people that have those social
skills and are bad. And we have heard Belichick is
supposedly a little calmer behind the scenes, little commer behind
the scenes and has a little bit of personality, But
the story indicates that is not the case. But the
reason I buy the story, the main reason is Robert
Kraft's worst nightmare is Bill Belichick running off to Atlanta
(07:22):
or Tim Buck two and leading a team to the championship.
He would rather Belichick go to Pyongyang and hang out
because I don't think they have football there. But if
Belichick went, maybe they'd put a team together and win.
But that would further haunt and Sully. Robert Kraft because
(07:42):
he got rid of Brady. He picked Belichick over Brady.
I agree with it the time. I'm gonna change my position.
I agree with it at the time. And of course
we know what happened. We know that Brady went off
and won in Tampa, right, we know that, and Belichick failed,
And if Belichick were to go to Atlanta and win,
that would have really messed things up. And we're to
put Robert Craft in an uncomfortable position. Now furthermore, we
(08:05):
turned the page, but it's the same story. We just
turned the page a little bit. Who else looks bad? Again?
This is someboding. I didn't have to do it is
my one of my good mitsu was I read a
almost five thousand words story about Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft.
So who else looks really bad other than Robert Kraft?
And this Bill Belichick expose with the Atlanta So on
(08:28):
this one, you're going to have to get out the
spreadsheet because Arthur Blank he is.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
At the top. As we said, he's at the very top.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He looks like Dopey McDope at the top because he
he's the one that believed. Listen, I'm gonna go to
Robert Craft's opinion, who certainly seemed a little compromised.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Look, they put on a whole thespian show and Belichick
left the team, and they talked about how wonderful he was,
and Robert Kraft like sucked his toes like a high
school kid in Oklahoma or whatever. I just went went big,
went big, but passing on Belichick in part because he's
cantankerous and gruff, which is what was indicated.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Again, who cares? If you enjoy raheem Morris and he'll
have a lot of enthusiasm, he'll smile and all that.
There's also shrapnel that went flying towards the three stooges
because in this story he talks about how Matt Patricia,
Josh McDaniels, and Joe Judge we're all going to go
with Belichick to Atlanta's gonna bring the whole band and
reunite the band and Belichick.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Some of the Falcon people were like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Why are we gonna hire these guys? They're not very good?
And then Belichick told the dirty birds that these guys
are better soldiers, they're not generals, which McDaniels never get
a head coaching job again.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Joe Judge's young guy.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
He might get another shot down the line. I don't
know about Patricia, but that's a low blow.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
But who else?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
How about the Carolina czar David Tepper, the guy that
fires coaches every other year or halfway through every s
So David Tepper, another Hedge fun guy, rejected Belichick not
because of anything Robert Kraft said, according to the story,
but because temper. One of his hobbies when he owns
the Carolina football team, he likes to review data to
(10:14):
critique certain play calls, and he couldn't do that with Belichick,
so that's why he didn't hire him. Also, catching Strays,
Brian Dabele, Nick Sirianni, and Mike McCarthy indirect down range,
Indirect down range for day Ball, Sirianni and McCarthy because Belichick.
In the story, it was indicated through surrogates of Bill
(10:36):
Belichick that he has his eyes on the Giants, Eagles,
and Cowboys. He wants one of those jobs. He didn't
want to go to LA, didn't want to coach the Chargers.
He wants a Giants, Eagles or Cowboys. That's two I
ninety five teams, Giants and Eagles, and of course you've
got Jerry's World as the other team. And I will
guarantee you two of those jobs, not one, but two
(10:59):
will open up. That Mike McCarthy, if the Cowboys don't
win and get to the NFC Championship Game, he'll be
out the Philadelphia job. I think all three likely will
be open, but there's a chance one of them has
a good year and out performs expectations and keeps their job.
But Sirianni, Daball, and McCarthy all on the endangered list
(11:22):
and further endangered because Bill Belichick, through his people have
indicated that he's interested in those jobs. Start looking over
your back right now, all right, last thing here. We
also learned that Bill Belichick has started a new career
in his seventies. How about that he's reinvented himself. That's impressive. Yet,
(11:44):
I know, I don't know that Belichick used Express Pros.
I don't know that he did, probably not. He should have, though,
should have gone to Express Pros. So anyway, if you
haven't heard, Bill Belichick is going to do NFL Draft
coverage with YouTuber Pat McAfee, and Belichick is expected to
sign a deal I read this earlier to be an
(12:05):
analyst with Omaha Production Obaha Obaha Omaha that is owned
by Peyton Manning. So Belichick's in bed with Peyton Manning,
and the assumption is they'll be either a spin off
of the Manning Cast or Belichick will just be a
weekly guest on said Manning Cast, the alternative feed for
(12:26):
Monday night football. So what do you make of Bill
Belichick dipping his toes into the media world. Everyone wants
to do what we do. I always say that everyone
wants to do a podcast or do the broadcasting thing.
Everyone wants this job. They all want this job, probably
not these hours, but they all want this job. So
Belichick is turning to HG TV, a sporty version of
(12:52):
the Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, Celebrity Makeover or
Queer Eye for a straight guy right, a metamorphosis Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I was texting a few.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
People by saying, and this is obvious.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You don't need me to tell you this. Belichick is
taking these jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
He hasn't taken the standard Fox TV studio host sitting
next to Terry Bradshaw has done that. Or Sunday Night
Football on NBC with Mister Snooze Tony Dungee, he has
done that. But this was a strategic move by Belichick
and the people around Belichick to try to change his
reputation as the crotchety old geezer. He's deputizing Peyton Manning
(13:34):
and Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
To make him a hipster.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
How soon before Belichick goes viral on TikTok, Right, he
needs to present himself as goofy, as fun, as a
cool guy. You need to smile, you need to be
relatable to young people. And he's also writing a book
which I don't think is relatable to young people because
they don't read books, but he from when I was
(14:00):
told he has to wait for the book until after
his non disparagement agreement is done with the Patriot's a
getting paid a ton of money this year by the Patriots,
so there's a non disparagement clause. I would assume for
the book to sell, Belichick has to tell stories out
of class about the Patriots, So that would require the
wait until. It takes a while to get a book published. Anyway,
(14:24):
as I learned a couple of years ago when I
was talking to a.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Guy about writing a book and he explained to.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Me all that it is entailed in that process or process,
it is.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Great Sports with Coleman Baltimore Media legend points out that
Arthur Blank, in the last two years, the owner of
the Atlanta Falcons, has passed on a two time MVP,
Lamar Jackson, didn't even make a run at Lamar Jackson
and has passed on the winning as coach in NFL
history Bill Belichick to go with eventually Kirk Cousins, who's
(16:34):
in his mid thirties and coming off of devastating injury,
and Raheem Morris, who was an absolute failure in his
last head coaching job in Tampa Bay. If Home Depot
was run like that, they would be out of business.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
They would be out of business.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
They would Yeah, Mark, the full name guy is back listening,
He says, who needs hackers when we have Ben Mahler,
the chasm of sarcasm, the spin masters of misinformation, and
the gnattering.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Nabob of negativity in the air everywhere. So, Mark, you've
calmed down from your last manifesto. You're good, You're all right, Okay, good,
that's nice. I'm glad you're back. Mark told me our
show is measurably worse without him calling. He holds himself
in very high esteem Bill, while most people hold themselves
in high esteem. Bill rides in and says, I heard
(17:31):
Belichick sitting in on the Army Navy game, not bad,
and he had a little segment that was good. I
could not believe it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He seemed personable, humorous.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And could tell a good story. I don't know how
he and McAfee will get along, but I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Looking forward to it. So I saw a clip Belichick popped.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Up on the McAfee show, and it looked like Bill
was really trying to smile. It's hard when you haven't
smiled in that long many years publicly, to smile publicly.
It's got to be difficult. The worst problems to have
in life. Yeah, Alf says, would you pull a Robert
Kraft if FSR decided to deep six the Belichick of
(18:14):
updates Eddie Garcia? Now I would. If if Eddie wants
the Utah Yetti job, I would be all four. I
would endorse that. If the Utah YETI call me, I
would endorse that. Yeah, Masshole Mickey says, wicked, awesome monologue,
spoken like a true masshole. Thank you, mass whole Mickey,
You're my inspiration. Inspired by mass Whole Mickey, We're gonna
(18:39):
have the audio audio is gonna be amazing. I got
a couple of great soundbites that we can get to
in a little bit when they are ready. It's got
the phones, though, and we'll say hello to Sir scratch
Off the highways and byways of Arkansas. Hello, sir scratch Off.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
What's going on there?
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Cat Mat, I'll tell you what they right now. You
got that new collar calling it from prison to out
from prison, and I got him a name to call
in now. He took care of you of ago. It
ain't none of your business. I'm telling that's a good
name for him to call in from now on. He's
a good caller.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, you like the guy you Norman, the nomad from
Maine who was in jail for the last five years.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
They're just funny man. You know his boys. I couldn't
hear some of the stuff be saying, and my static
was coming in wall to gold. But he's just funny, man.
If he keeps calling in, is like an alligator guy. Man.
I mean, this is good, Colors. We lost old Charlie
down St. Tony. I miss old Charlie. I wish I
knew what he worked there. I had to call him
to him call back kid, I like to go Charlie.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, well, Charlie, you had a kid, and that either's
two ways that goes. Either you're listen more when you
have a kid, or you listen you stop listening when
you have a kid.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
And he stopped you know.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Well, you know I raised to mine thirty and twenty
one and I got one of heavy should be twenty three.
But I won't tell you right now. When you start
having kids being you need about five. And I promise
you one thing, man, you get you about four or
five kids, you'll settle down and you will be able
talk at all.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
You need to have four or five. It seems like
a large number of kids, four or five.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Well, I'm gonna tell you me, and you'd have a
good time with them. Kids they like you when they
got older, when they got out of the house and left,
they'd like you all being.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So that's the key. The kids will like you when
they leave the house. They don't like you when they're
in the house. When they get out, they will like.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Come out, my daughter, Tony. Once, you won't leave for nothing.
Hurt that boyfriend. I slammed him while to go for
I left the house. He come. I think they I
could have here. They broke up few weeks ago, you know,
but he's coming back around. But he's a big old
uh oh my god. What is that? They got beat?
They got beat last night Thompson and boys Curry Golden State.
(20:37):
Good God. But anyway, I said, I was in there
wiping my new Lakers had off real good, you know,
messing with what he said? Man, what about that Golden
State's team? Do they still have a team, They still
have dynasty? What's up of that? He wouldn't even say nothing?
Being Jackie?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Now you really you really got him, sir, scratch off.
I don't know how. He's probably gonna walk out with
his tail between his legs and never be heard from again.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
And I want to tell you something right now. Your Clippers.
You know, they did get in. They got lucky, but.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
They get lucky. They earned the spot that they got.
They should have been better. They actually underachieved. They should
have been better.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
Well, you know one thing about it, though, man, You
know the Clippers, you know they will fall apart. They
like it. They like a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I know they'll never win, just like the Red Sox
are never gonna win because of the curse of the
Ben be You know, the Cubs weren't gonna win, the
curse of the Billy Going will never happen. Tampa Bay
will never get to a World Series in baseball. I
know none of these things are impossible. The Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Are never gonna winto can't win, the Raptors can't ever win.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I know, I've heard it all.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I've heard it all.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Cardinals. Man, we're in the seventies now, seventy games to go,
but we get that eighty seven over. You know, I
gotta go.
Speaker 2 (21:50):

Tyler glass Now is a pitcher for the Dodgers. He
popped up on the Chris Rose podcast. I don't know
what it's called, but it says Chris Rose podcast. Uh.
And he then dropped this line about he was asked
about the scoreboard the radar gun. Take a listen to
(22:46):
what Tyler glass Now had to say.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
No, I always like I'm a little radar slut anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So yeah, so did you hear that, Blair? Yeah, you
don't seem impressed. All right, play again, Maybe play again,
played again.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Maybe this time.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He'll be in britt. This is a major league baseball pitcher.
And he was asked about all the numbers, the speed,
the velocity, all these different things on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Here's what you say.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
No, I always like I'm a little radar slued anyway,
So I look up every time. So yeah, all right,
a little radar slide.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
That was sound by number one, sound by number two.
This is a follow up. There's a Ryan Garcia's apparently
a boxer. He was supposed to throw out the first
pitch of the Mets game the other night. He was
on the field warming up, the Mets got scared, they
got cold feet. They told him he had to leave,
couldn't throw out the first pitch. Here's Ryan Garcia, boxer
his thoughts on what happened to you.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Listen, the Mets just waited three hours of our life
to say at the end, we can't throw the pitch
for whatever reason. There was no reason, and they kicked
us out for no reason. So everybody, I'm personally gonna
say the Mets don't ever go to a Mets game again.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
All right, what do you think of that one, Blair?
Speaker 11 (24:00):
That one about the Mets sounds like a wasted time
for his time?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh my god? But which one's the better? SoundBite? But
you know what happened to your sets?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
A humor?
Speaker 11 (24:12):
What one sounds like a better one? The first one.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You didn't even seem excited about the first one though.
Speaker 11 (24:19):
Yeah, but the first the first one is a better one.
That second one.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Was that was good?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
After Mets, that was great?
Speaker 11 (24:29):
Oh then the after Mets. Yeah, I've been sorry. Then
did we just wake you up? No, I've been up
for a little bit. I haven't been my normal stylef.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I know what's wrong, Blair, what's going on quickly.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (24:48):
There's a lot of stuff going on with this, my
normal internet stuff. You wouldn't think that, you know, Internet
bothered me. But when I finally get on the internet
again to go on ticked off again, you know, I'm
finally happy again. Then I actually get to go back
last night.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
That's not last night, TikTok.
Speaker 2 (25:05):

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Now you right, all right, thank you Blair. All right there,
let's get over to Eddie Garcia right now.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
On that.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Now you'll have to download the podcast to hear it.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Thanks for that lead in.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, I what a great lead in. But listen, he's
pretty good leading. I mean born library, taking a goose
at the dumps. Let's get to Eddie though, right now.
Get you cut up on everything hockey wise, pluck the world.
This almost playoff time, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
That's right, Ben, We've got one day left in the
NHL regular season, which ends on Thursday. NHL playoffs start
on Saturday. We know all the matchups in the East,
half of them in the West. And the East you
got the New York Rangers, who won the President's Trophy
for the most points one hundred and fourteen, one more
than the Dallas Stars. That could be bad news though
for the Blue Shirts. Last eleven President's Trophy winners have
failed to win the Stanley Cup. Last team to do
(28:39):
it was the twenty thirteen Chicago Blackhawks. Rangels face the
Washington Capitals in the opening round. Caps squeaked in in
their final game thanks to an empty net goal.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Against the Flyers.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
It was tied one one in the third Philadelphia I
had to win the game in regulation to keep their
playoff hopes alive, and that's why Washington got the empty
net goal and that win eliminated Philadelphia, Detroit and Pittsburgh
and Washington got in Florida. Panthers beat out the Boston
Bruins on the final day of the regular season for
the Atlantic Division title. Panthers will face in state rivals
the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round. That series
starts Sunday. Bruins will face the Toronto may Be Leiefs
(29:09):
in a series it starts Saturday, and the final playoff
matchup in the East has the Carolina Hurricanes against the
New York Islanders for a second straight year, and that
will start on Saturday. In the West, we know two
of the playoff matchups. Dallas Stars are the Central Division
champs there the one seed in the West, and they
will face the Nashville Predators. And then you got the
Winnipeg Jets taking on the color Avalanche. That's the two
to three matchup out of the Central Division, Pacific Division
(29:30):
champion Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers will find out
who they'll play with a pair of games coming up
on Thursday, Vegas against Anaheim and LA against Chicago. If
the Golden Knights win, Vegas will take on Edmonton, LA
would face Dallas. If the Kings win and the Golden
Knights Louise, the Kings would face Edmonton and the Golden
Knights would take on the Stars. Western Conference playoffs are
gonna start on Monday, so Miles Stones. As the season
(29:50):
came to an end, Toronto maype Beliefs, Star Austin Matthews
fell one goal short of seventy on the season. I
did not what a loser, did not have a goal
in the last night's lost to Tampa Bay. Washington Capitol's
Hall of famer Alexandrovechkin scored on the team's final regular
season game. He's got thirty one on the season, eight
to fifty three in his career. He'll enter next season
forty two away from Wayne Gretzky's all time record.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Very good.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
In the history of the NHL, we've had three players,
Wayne Gretzky, Marley Mew and Bobby Orr post one hundred
assists in a season before this year.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
This year, two players did.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
It, Edmonson's Conor McDavid and Tampa Bay's the Key to
Kutcherov had.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
A couple of hockey voices calling it a career.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Jeff Rimmer, longtime Columbus Blue Jacks TV voice, announced his
retirement after twenty seasons.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Did his son work here? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I didn't know that that was the case.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh wow, yeah, in the early days.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Huh. I believe that's the same guy, Josh Rimmer as
his kid.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
I'm not sure about that, all right, Jack Edwards TV
voice the Boston Bruins and his retirement after nineteen seasons.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
He's had some hell. But yes, yeah he said it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
He was a little off his game, he sunded, kind
of like Ralph Waller, the Clipper guy at the end there.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Yeah, they say he said it's an undiagnosed medical issue
that's been affecting his speech.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
They don't know what it is, can't find it.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
We had our final coaching change of the season, Buffalo
Sabers firing their head coach Don Granado after five years.
They Buffalo Sabers have missed the playoffs and angel record
thirteen straight seasons. Last night in Arizona maybe the final
game of NHL hockey in the desert. At least this
version of the Coyote has played their final game before
heading off to Salt Lake City. The NHL Border govern
is officially going to vote on this tomorrow. They're going
(31:22):
to approve it. Coyotes won the game, meeting the Oilers
five to two. There were tears in Arizona and also
Ben your favorite rhythmic chanting, we have it here you go.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Here we go, let's listen. Oh yeah, sucks.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
No, No, they're saying Salt Lake sucks.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh, I thought they said that would suck.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
They get oh, salt Lake, Salt Lake sucks. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I think that's illegal and salt Kitty.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
One final thing.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Wait, wait, who's the greatest Arizona Coyote? Assuming they don't come.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Back, Shane Don't?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
What about Keith Chuck?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
No, Shane Don?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
What about Jeremy Rohner? He played there on.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Shane Don is the answer? Three times?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I'm gonna gokut Chuck.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
I got this from f s R affiliate manager Kirk Krushmeyer,
who was at the game. He said, I know him
video and pictures of the final game there. He said,
he talked to some Utah media folks and you mentioned
this earlier. The two front runners for the name of
the Utah NHL team are the.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Blizzard or the name that Lorena came up.
Speaker 2 (32:32):

The go between Yedy your Blizzards definitely.

hockey having the most team names without an S on
the end.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
To switch teams because ice hockey's always been my favorite sport.

sport I went to. Awesome, Yeah, what team do you

Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our nameberfore our four ready to go? And how
credible is the story of Robert Kraft meddling with Bill
Belichick and keeping him from getting the Falcon job? Wild
story bouncing around this week? Also who else looks bad
in this Bill Belichick? Falcons expose a And what do
(00:26):
you make of Belichick dipping his toes into the sports
media world? Fighting the good fight, doing what we're doing
for a living. Well, coming at you, smoking hot right now.
All of that and more here it is our number four.
Have a wonderful Thursday. NFL owners, they say the darnedest
(00:48):
things well come. In the beginning of yet another hour
of the Ben Maller Show, we are in the air,
EveryWare squirming because we know the Candyman can coast the coast,
port of the border and beyond on the vast and

Oh yeah, Robert, I've been saving this. I've been saying,
right in my wheelhouse, this is right in my you know,
my wheelhouse. This is right in my wheelhouse. It is
(01:58):
so if somehow you have not been paying attention, we
have palace injury here.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
We assume you've.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Heard by now about the very wordy expose by Seth
Wickersham and some other people who we don't know who
they are, and Wickersham and friends chronically, how the Atlanta
Falcons were this close to closing the deal and hiring
the greatest coach in NFL history of Bill Belichick, but
(02:27):
then at the very last minute they got cold feet.
They passed on hiring the winningest coach in NFL history
to hire a guy that was an abject failure in
his head coaching run Raheem Morris. So, but maybe you
missed the details on this, And so we move ahead
in the story now, skipping all the fluff. We don't
(02:48):
care about the fluff. You can get that elsewhere. We
are going to get to the meat on the bone
and the meat on.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The bone here.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Patriots owner Robert Kraft is accused of being part of
the reason why the Falcons passed on Belichick, and the
way the story is being presented, he was a big
part of the reason why the Atlanta football team decided
they didn't want to do business with Bill Belichick. Craft
is said to have issued a stark warning, warning, warning, warning, warning,
(03:19):
warning to the Falcons owner there, Arthur Blank, one of
the guys that started at home depot literally started the business,
saying Craft that you can't trust Belichick.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now, the implications rather clear.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Even if you're a little slow, little groggy, you can
figure this out that Robert Craft's words were poison They
were the poison pill. Now immediately, New England pr hacks
categorically denied the almost five thousand words story. So we
have a he said, he said situation. You've got the
(03:58):
report that claim to have I believe twelve sources they
claimed around the NFL, both with Belichick and people that
worked for the Falcons and whatnot Patriots. So let us
discuss the question how credible is the story of Robert
Kraft meddling with Bill Belichick getting the Falcons job. So
(04:22):
I've got toothache spreadsheet, and property brothers, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the Baba Canoosh, We're gonna make the Barba Canoons.
Now to lead off here, Okay, I read the story.
(04:45):
There were parts of it that I didn't really care
for here were kind of boring to me, and then
I found the meat of it and I was like,
that's pretty good, and that's a solid, solid report. Could
have been a little shorter, could have been a little shorter.
So on this one, I am drinking the fruit punch
flavor Aid, not the kool Aid, the flavor Aid. Very believable, right,
very believable. This explains why there was that last minute
(05:11):
you turned by the Falcons. It's like there was a
traffic break by the patrol. They said, I've got to
close the road. Multiple outlets reported that Bill Bella, these
are supposedly incredible people, that Bill Belichick was getting the
Atlanta Falcons coaching job. And that was right up until
Arthur Blank actually checked the references. Who actually checks references.
(05:36):
I've had many people I've worked with here at Fox
Sports Radio over the years and other places that have
used me as a reference I have never ever been
contacted by anyone saying, hey, should I hire this guy?
But Arthur Blank checked in with Robert Kraft. According to
this story, they're besties. They are besties, of course they are.
And Robert Kraft sand bagged Bill bell check. He gave
(06:00):
him a haymaker.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
He did.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
If you believe the story, Arthur Blank trusted the words
of a fellow robber, Baron, and Kraft painted his former
coach as essentially a toothache, that throbbing, annoying pain coming
from your tooth.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You can't really anything, just terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And Bill Belichick, in the eyes of Robert Craft, so
toxic because of his curmudgety ways.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The implication also is that Robert Kraft told the Blank that.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You're essentially not going to get, you know, any any
human like answers from Belichick. You're going to get the
cold answer. And that was part of the reason, because
Kraft wants a mister nice guy as coach, and I
would hire a douchebag if they're good at their job.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I would.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
There's a lot of successful people that have those social
skills and are bad. And we have heard Belichick is
supposedly a little calmer behind the scenes, little commer behind
the scenes and has a little bit of personality, But
the story indicates that is not the case. But the
reason I buy the story, the main reason is Robert
Kraft's worst nightmare is Bill Belichick running off to Atlanta
(07:22):
or Tim Buck two and leading a team to the championship.
He would rather Belichick go to Pyongyang and hang out
because I don't think they have football there. But if
Belichick went, maybe they'd put a team together and win.
But that would further haunt and Sully. Robert Kraft because
(07:42):
he got rid of Brady. He picked Belichick over Brady.
I agree with it the time. I'm gonna change my position.
I agree with it at the time. And of course
we know what happened. We know that Brady went off
and won in Tampa, right, we know that, and Belichick failed,
And if Belichick were to go to Atlanta and win,
that would have really messed things up. And we're to
put Robert Craft in an uncomfortable position. Now furthermore, we
(08:05):
turned the page, but it's the same story. We just
turned the page a little bit. Who else looks bad? Again?
This is someboding. I didn't have to do it is
my one of my good mitsu was I read a
almost five thousand words story about Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft.
So who else looks really bad other than Robert Kraft?
And this Bill Belichick expose with the Atlanta So on
(08:28):
this one, you're going to have to get out the
spreadsheet because Arthur Blank he is.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
At the top. As we said, he's at the very top.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He looks like Dopey McDope at the top because he
he's the one that believed. Listen, I'm gonna go to
Robert Craft's opinion, who certainly seemed a little compromised.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Look, they put on a whole thespian show and Belichick
left the team, and they talked about how wonderful he was,
and Robert Kraft like sucked his toes like a high
school kid in Oklahoma or whatever. I just went went big,
went big, but passing on Belichick in part because he's
cantankerous and gruff, which is what was indicated.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Again, who cares? If you enjoy raheem Morris and he'll
have a lot of enthusiasm, he'll smile and all that.
There's also shrapnel that went flying towards the three stooges
because in this story he talks about how Matt Patricia,
Josh McDaniels, and Joe Judge we're all going to go
with Belichick to Atlanta's gonna bring the whole band and
reunite the band and Belichick.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Some of the Falcon people were like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Why are we gonna hire these guys? They're not very good?
And then Belichick told the dirty birds that these guys
are better soldiers, they're not generals, which McDaniels never get
a head coaching job again.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Joe Judge's young guy.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
He might get another shot down the line. I don't
know about Patricia, but that's a low blow.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
But who else?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
How about the Carolina czar David Tepper, the guy that
fires coaches every other year or halfway through every s
So David Tepper, another Hedge fun guy, rejected Belichick not
because of anything Robert Kraft said, according to the story,
but because temper. One of his hobbies when he owns
the Carolina football team, he likes to review data to
(10:14):
critique certain play calls, and he couldn't do that with Belichick,
so that's why he didn't hire him. Also, catching Strays,
Brian Dabele, Nick Sirianni, and Mike McCarthy indirect down range,
Indirect down range for day Ball, Sirianni and McCarthy because Belichick.
In the story, it was indicated through surrogates of Bill
(10:36):
Belichick that he has his eyes on the Giants, Eagles,
and Cowboys. He wants one of those jobs. He didn't
want to go to LA, didn't want to coach the Chargers.
He wants a Giants, Eagles or Cowboys. That's two I
ninety five teams, Giants and Eagles, and of course you've
got Jerry's World as the other team. And I will
guarantee you two of those jobs, not one, but two
(10:59):
will open up. That Mike McCarthy, if the Cowboys don't
win and get to the NFC Championship Game, he'll be
out the Philadelphia job. I think all three likely will
be open, but there's a chance one of them has
a good year and out performs expectations and keeps their job.
But Sirianni, Daball, and McCarthy all on the endangered list
(11:22):
and further endangered because Bill Belichick, through his people have
indicated that he's interested in those jobs. Start looking over
your back right now, all right, last thing here. We
also learned that Bill Belichick has started a new career
in his seventies. How about that he's reinvented himself. That's impressive. Yet,
(11:44):
I know, I don't know that Belichick used Express Pros.
I don't know that he did, probably not. He should have, though,
should have gone to Express Pros. So anyway, if you
haven't heard, Bill Belichick is going to do NFL Draft
coverage with YouTuber Pat McAfee, and Belichick is expected to
sign a deal I read this earlier to be an
(12:05):
analyst with Omaha Production Obaha Obaha Omaha that is owned
by Peyton Manning. So Belichick's in bed with Peyton Manning,
and the assumption is they'll be either a spin off
of the Manning Cast or Belichick will just be a
weekly guest on said Manning Cast, the alternative feed for
(12:26):
Monday night football. So what do you make of Bill
Belichick dipping his toes into the media world. Everyone wants
to do what we do. I always say that everyone
wants to do a podcast or do the broadcasting thing.
Everyone wants this job. They all want this job, probably
not these hours, but they all want this job. So
Belichick is turning to HG TV, a sporty version of
(12:52):
the Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, Celebrity Makeover or
Queer Eye for a straight guy right, a metamorphosis Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I was texting a few.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
People by saying, and this is obvious.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You don't need me to tell you this. Belichick is
taking these jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
He hasn't taken the standard Fox TV studio host sitting
next to Terry Bradshaw has done that. Or Sunday Night
Football on NBC with Mister Snooze Tony Dungee, he has
done that. But this was a strategic move by Belichick
and the people around Belichick to try to change his
reputation as the crotchety old geezer. He's deputizing Peyton Manning
(13:34):
and Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
To make him a hipster.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
How soon before Belichick goes viral on TikTok, Right, he
needs to present himself as goofy, as fun, as a
cool guy. You need to smile, you need to be
relatable to young people. And he's also writing a book
which I don't think is relatable to young people because
they don't read books, but he from when I was
(14:00):
told he has to wait for the book until after
his non disparagement agreement is done with the Patriot's a
getting paid a ton of money this year by the Patriots,
so there's a non disparagement clause. I would assume for
the book to sell, Belichick has to tell stories out
of class about the Patriots, So that would require the
wait until. It takes a while to get a book published. Anyway,
(14:24):
as I learned a couple of years ago when I
was talking to a.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Guy about writing a book and he explained to.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Me all that it is entailed in that process or process,
it is.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Great Sports with Coleman Baltimore Media legend points out that
Arthur Blank, in the last two years, the owner of
the Atlanta Falcons, has passed on a two time MVP,
Lamar Jackson, didn't even make a run at Lamar Jackson
and has passed on the winning as coach in NFL
history Bill Belichick to go with eventually Kirk Cousins, who's
(16:34):
in his mid thirties and coming off of devastating injury,
and Raheem Morris, who was an absolute failure in his
last head coaching job in Tampa Bay. If Home Depot
was run like that, they would be out of business.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
They would be out of business.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
They would Yeah, Mark, the full name guy is back listening,
He says, who needs hackers when we have Ben Mahler,
the chasm of sarcasm, the spin masters of misinformation, and
the gnattering.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Nabob of negativity in the air everywhere. So, Mark, you've
calmed down from your last manifesto. You're good, You're all right, Okay, good,
that's nice. I'm glad you're back. Mark told me our
show is measurably worse without him calling. He holds himself
in very high esteem Bill, while most people hold themselves
in high esteem. Bill rides in and says, I heard
(17:31):
Belichick sitting in on the Army Navy game, not bad,
and he had a little segment that was good. I
could not believe it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He seemed personable, humorous.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And could tell a good story. I don't know how
he and McAfee will get along, but I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Looking forward to it. So I saw a clip Belichick popped.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Up on the McAfee show, and it looked like Bill
was really trying to smile. It's hard when you haven't
smiled in that long many years publicly, to smile publicly.
It's got to be difficult. The worst problems to have
in life. Yeah, Alf says, would you pull a Robert
Kraft if FSR decided to deep six the Belichick of
(18:14):
updates Eddie Garcia? Now I would. If if Eddie wants
the Utah Yetti job, I would be all four. I
would endorse that. If the Utah YETI call me, I
would endorse that. Yeah, Masshole Mickey says, wicked, awesome monologue,
spoken like a true masshole. Thank you, mass whole Mickey,
You're my inspiration. Inspired by mass Whole Mickey, We're gonna
(18:39):
have the audio audio is gonna be amazing. I got
a couple of great soundbites that we can get to
in a little bit when they are ready. It's got
the phones, though, and we'll say hello to Sir scratch
Off the highways and byways of Arkansas. Hello, sir scratch Off.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
What's going on there?
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Cat Mat, I'll tell you what they right now. You
got that new collar calling it from prison to out
from prison, and I got him a name to call
in now. He took care of you of ago. It
ain't none of your business. I'm telling that's a good
name for him to call in from now on. He's
a good caller.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, you like the guy you Norman, the nomad from
Maine who was in jail for the last five years.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
They're just funny man. You know his boys. I couldn't
hear some of the stuff be saying, and my static
was coming in wall to gold. But he's just funny, man.
If he keeps calling in, is like an alligator guy. Man.
I mean, this is good, Colors. We lost old Charlie
down St. Tony. I miss old Charlie. I wish I
knew what he worked there. I had to call him
to him call back kid, I like to go Charlie.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, well, Charlie, you had a kid, and that either's
two ways that goes. Either you're listen more when you
have a kid, or you listen you stop listening when
you have a kid.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
And he stopped you know.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Well, you know I raised to mine thirty and twenty
one and I got one of heavy should be twenty three.
But I won't tell you right now. When you start
having kids being you need about five. And I promise
you one thing, man, you get you about four or
five kids, you'll settle down and you will be able
talk at all.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
You need to have four or five. It seems like
a large number of kids, four or five.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Well, I'm gonna tell you me, and you'd have a
good time with them. Kids they like you when they
got older, when they got out of the house and left,
they'd like you all being.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So that's the key. The kids will like you when
they leave the house. They don't like you when they're
in the house. When they get out, they will like.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Come out, my daughter, Tony. Once, you won't leave for nothing.
Hurt that boyfriend. I slammed him while to go for
I left the house. He come. I think they I
could have here. They broke up few weeks ago, you know,
but he's coming back around. But he's a big old
uh oh my god. What is that? They got beat?
They got beat last night Thompson and boys Curry Golden State.
(20:37):
Good God. But anyway, I said, I was in there
wiping my new Lakers had off real good, you know,
messing with what he said? Man, what about that Golden
State's team? Do they still have a team, They still
have dynasty? What's up of that? He wouldn't even say nothing?
Being Jackie?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Now you really you really got him, sir, scratch off.
I don't know how. He's probably gonna walk out with
his tail between his legs and never be heard from again.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
And I want to tell you something right now. Your Clippers.
You know, they did get in. They got lucky, but.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
They get lucky. They earned the spot that they got.
They should have been better. They actually underachieved. They should
have been better.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
Well, you know one thing about it, though, man, You
know the Clippers, you know they will fall apart. They
like it. They like a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I know they'll never win, just like the Red Sox
are never gonna win because of the curse of the
Ben be You know, the Cubs weren't gonna win, the
curse of the Billy Going will never happen. Tampa Bay
will never get to a World Series in baseball. I
know none of these things are impossible. The Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Are never gonna winto can't win, the Raptors can't ever win.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I know, I've heard it all.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I've heard it all.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Cardinals. Man, we're in the seventies now, seventy games to go,
but we get that eighty seven over. You know, I
gotta go.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Thank you? All right, Well, we didn't hear your shout out.
That's that's good.
Speaker 3 (21:55):

Speaker 1 (22:19):

The first SoundBite. This comes from We'll play this one first.
Tyler glass Now is a pitcher for the Dodgers. He
popped up on the Chris Rose podcast. I don't know
what it's called, but it says Chris Rose podcast. Uh.
And he then dropped this line about he was asked
about the scoreboard the radar gun. Take a listen to
(22:46):
what Tyler glass Now had to say.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
No, I always like I'm a little radar slut anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So yeah, so did you hear that, Blair? Yeah, you
don't seem impressed. All right, play again, Maybe play again,
played again.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Maybe this time.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He'll be in britt. This is a major league baseball pitcher.
And he was asked about all the numbers, the speed,
the velocity, all these different things on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Here's what you say.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
No, I always like I'm a little radar slued anyway,
So I look up every time. So yeah, all right,
a little radar slide.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
That was sound by number one, sound by number two.
This is a follow up. There's a Ryan Garcia's apparently
a boxer. He was supposed to throw out the first
pitch of the Mets game the other night. He was
on the field warming up, the Mets got scared, they
got cold feet. They told him he had to leave,
couldn't throw out the first pitch. Here's Ryan Garcia, boxer
his thoughts on what happened to you.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Listen, the Mets just waited three hours of our life
to say at the end, we can't throw the pitch
for whatever reason. There was no reason, and they kicked
us out for no reason. So everybody, I'm personally gonna
say the Mets don't ever go to a Mets game again.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
All right, what do you think of that one, Blair?
Speaker 11 (24:00):
That one about the Mets sounds like a wasted time
for his time?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh my god? But which one's the better? SoundBite? But
you know what happened to your sets?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
A humor?
Speaker 11 (24:12):
What one sounds like a better one? The first one.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You didn't even seem excited about the first one though.
Speaker 11 (24:19):
Yeah, but the first the first one is a better one.
That second one.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Was that was good?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
After Mets, that was great?
Speaker 11 (24:29):
Oh then the after Mets. Yeah, I've been sorry. Then
did we just wake you up? No, I've been up
for a little bit. I haven't been my normal stylef.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I know what's wrong, Blair, what's going on quickly.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (24:48):
There's a lot of stuff going on with this, my
normal internet stuff. You wouldn't think that, you know, Internet
bothered me. But when I finally get on the internet
again to go on ticked off again, you know, I'm
finally happy again. Then I actually get to go back
last night.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
That's not last night, TikTok.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
No happiness, You're only happy on TikTok. That seems like
it's not good.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
Your right over there, Gerci, You're totally right.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
I truly love.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
They can't go on any porno anymore, TikTok. You know

Speaker 11 (26:29):
It's baby, let's turn on.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You seem like a kind of guy, Blair, that would

a lot of money on OnlyFans.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
To see you.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I remember that. That was pretty funny.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Well yeah, now I hear it from you or the
morning guys. They always remind me of my dude.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
I'd only go to a library anymore. There's not one

Speaker 2 (27:47):
What about the dumpster? You had a little incident in
the dumpster anything?
Speaker 11 (27:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, ship by the dumpster?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Now you right, all right, thank you Blair. All right there,
let's get over to Eddie Garcia right now.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
On that.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Now you'll have to download the podcast to hear it.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Thanks for that lead in.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, I what a great lead in. But listen, he's
pretty good leading. I mean born library, taking a goose
at the dumps. Let's get to Eddie though, right now.
Get you cut up on everything hockey wise, pluck the world.
This almost playoff time, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
That's right, Ben, We've got one day left in the
NHL regular season, which ends on Thursday. NHL playoffs start
on Saturday. We know all the matchups in the East,
half of them in the West. And the East you
got the New York Rangers, who won the President's Trophy
for the most points one hundred and fourteen, one more
than the Dallas Stars. That could be bad news though
for the Blue Shirts. Last eleven President's Trophy winners have
failed to win the Stanley Cup. Last team to do
(28:39):
it was the twenty thirteen Chicago Blackhawks. Rangels face the
Washington Capitals in the opening round. Caps squeaked in in
their final game thanks to an empty net goal.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Against the Flyers.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
It was tied one one in the third Philadelphia I
had to win the game in regulation to keep their
playoff hopes alive, and that's why Washington got the empty
net goal and that win eliminated Philadelphia, Detroit and Pittsburgh
and Washington got in Florida. Panthers beat out the Boston
Bruins on the final day of the regular season for
the Atlantic Division title. Panthers will face in state rivals
the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round. That series
starts Sunday. Bruins will face the Toronto may Be Leiefs
(29:09):
in a series it starts Saturday, and the final playoff
matchup in the East has the Carolina Hurricanes against the
New York Islanders for a second straight year, and that
will start on Saturday. In the West, we know two
of the playoff matchups. Dallas Stars are the Central Division
champs there the one seed in the West, and they
will face the Nashville Predators. And then you got the
Winnipeg Jets taking on the color Avalanche. That's the two
to three matchup out of the Central Division, Pacific Division
(29:30):
champion Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers will find out
who they'll play with a pair of games coming up
on Thursday, Vegas against Anaheim and LA against Chicago. If
the Golden Knights win, Vegas will take on Edmonton, LA
would face Dallas. If the Kings win and the Golden
Knights Louise, the Kings would face Edmonton and the Golden
Knights would take on the Stars. Western Conference playoffs are
gonna start on Monday, so Miles Stones. As the season
(29:50):
came to an end, Toronto maype Beliefs, Star Austin Matthews
fell one goal short of seventy on the season. I
did not what a loser, did not have a goal
in the last night's lost to Tampa Bay. Washington Capitol's
Hall of famer Alexandrovechkin scored on the team's final regular
season game. He's got thirty one on the season, eight
to fifty three in his career. He'll enter next season
forty two away from Wayne Gretzky's all time record.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Very good.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
In the history of the NHL, we've had three players,
Wayne Gretzky, Marley Mew and Bobby Orr post one hundred
assists in a season before this year.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
This year, two players did.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
It, Edmonson's Conor McDavid and Tampa Bay's the Key to
Kutcherov had.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
A couple of hockey voices calling it a career.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Jeff Rimmer, longtime Columbus Blue Jacks TV voice, announced his
retirement after twenty seasons.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Did his son work here? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I didn't know that that was the case.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh wow, yeah, in the early days.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Huh. I believe that's the same guy, Josh Rimmer as
his kid.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
I'm not sure about that, all right, Jack Edwards TV
voice the Boston Bruins and his retirement after nineteen seasons.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
He's had some hell. But yes, yeah he said it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
He was a little off his game, he sunded, kind
of like Ralph Waller, the Clipper guy at the end there.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Yeah, they say he said it's an undiagnosed medical issue
that's been affecting his speech.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
They don't know what it is, can't find it.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
We had our final coaching change of the season, Buffalo
Sabers firing their head coach Don Granado after five years.
They Buffalo Sabers have missed the playoffs and angel record
thirteen straight seasons. Last night in Arizona maybe the final
game of NHL hockey in the desert. At least this
version of the Coyote has played their final game before
heading off to Salt Lake City. The NHL Border govern
is officially going to vote on this tomorrow. They're going
(31:22):
to approve it. Coyotes won the game, meeting the Oilers
five to two. There were tears in Arizona and also
Ben your favorite rhythmic chanting, we have it here you go.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Here we go, let's listen. Oh yeah, sucks.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
No, No, they're saying Salt Lake sucks.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh, I thought they said that would suck.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
They get oh, salt Lake, Salt Lake sucks. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I think that's illegal and salt Kitty.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
One final thing.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Wait, wait, who's the greatest Arizona Coyote? Assuming they don't come.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Back, Shane Don't?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
What about Keith Chuck?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
No, Shane Don?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
What about Jeremy Rohner? He played there on.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Shane Don is the answer? Three times?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I'm gonna gokut Chuck.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
I got this from f s R affiliate manager Kirk Krushmeyer,
who was at the game. He said, I know him
video and pictures of the final game there. He said,
he talked to some Utah media folks and you mentioned
