Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, where the Buffalo roam.
The GM in Buffalo says that he traded Stefon Diggs
because he didn't want his contract to be in albatross.
He's blaming the cap. Is that believable? Also, justin Fields
downplaying the possibility of returning kicks for the twenty twenty

(00:22):
four Steelers. Where are you on this one? And what
do you make of NFL players looking to eliminate organize
team activities. They want to get rid of offseason workouts,
make it virtual and just have a longer training camp.
We'll get to all of that and much more right now,
have a wonderful Wednesday, Get over the hump on this

(00:44):
twenty ninth day of May. Here it is our number four.
Now that is a whole lot of Buffalo Buffalo chips,
well gum. In the big Game of another hour of
the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere,

(01:06):
flying the audio skies as we do sports talk for
the greater good. Unless we don't coast to coast, we
get paid for it. Coast to coast, border to border
and beyond. On the vast and unmistakably powerful microphones of
fsre ammnating live from the blood as we smell blood

(01:29):
in the water, you bloody rue. We're broadcasting live from
the ti raq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will

tyre rachdeck dot com. The way tire buying should be

(01:49):
Callighan Tim and Michigan big, big fan of ten thousand
likes that number ten thousand, very much so our lead
this hour not from pro bouncy Ball, where the Minnesota
to Timberwols stand alive, stand alive. They did not succumb
to the Dallas mav Rex is Dallas the greatest back
court of all time. Sucked at a time you cannot suck.

(02:13):
Late game as it was close yet again. But in
the end the min Minnesota Kittycats as Karl Anthony Town's
making some big shots there and Anthony Edwards, I guess
he found out how to avoid being tired as he
was in Game one. So that series is going back
to Minnesota three games to one. The Celtics will be

(02:34):
hanging out whether it doesn't matter anyway, They have plenty
of time off till they begin the NBA Finals a
week from tomorrow. But our lead this hour from the NFL,
and we'll get back to the NBA later, but let's
touch down in Buffalo. We're gonna start there. There's a
person named Brandon Bean. You probably don't know that who
that is. Brandon Bean. He's an executive. Why would you

(02:56):
know who he is because that's the listen, it's the NFL.
You a lot of NFL executives, but Brandon Bean is
the GM there the bills, and he has opened up
about the decision he made with the other executives who
were all in cohoots there in Buffalo, to say bye
bye to Stefan Diggs. I think you'd agree it's one

(03:17):
of the bigger moves of the off season, Stefan Diggs
going from Buffalo to Houston this off season for a
bag of hot air, bag of hot air, a couple
of scratcher tickets to be named later. But if you
didn't hear what he said, and maybe you didn't, so
the Buffalo GM, Brandon Bean claimed that Stefan Diggs was

(03:40):
traded because of the cap. Because of the cap, said
a Digs deal was like in albatross. His contract was
like an albatross, the Buffalo executive said, hanging on your
neck all year. Now, kids, that is what we call
the money quote. So let's discuss the question. Buffalo's general manager,

(04:03):
Brandon Bean says he traded Stefan Diggs, the polarizing wide
receiver because he didn't want his contract to be an
albatross any longer. Is this the B word believable? Is
this believable? So I've got Ballerina, inspector, gadget, and flex time,

(04:26):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a delicious cake with amazing
frosting on the cake. The key to a good cake
is the frosting. I don't care what you say now
to kickoff here the hearty conversation about the post mortem
on the Steffan Digs trade. If you are a card

(04:48):
carrying member of the Bill's mafia and you've got your
nose up of Buffalo's took us, like our friend Andy
the comic book guy, then you would absolutely believe what
the general manager of the Buffalo Bills is saying. Outside
of an absolute chill, a total toady for the team.

(05:11):
Anyone that uses any degree of intelligence would say this
is a load of fertilizer. Fertilizer. Now, we are salary
cap truthers. We believe the cap is crap. But when
you use the salary cap as a reason and ends
to a mean or means to an end rather to
get rid of someone, if you say that, then the

(05:34):
cap is cap. In that case, you're lying. You are
lying about the salary cap. And on this one, after
a minutes long mallear investigation, the Buffalo Bills general manager
Brandon Bean spinning like a ballerina is what he was
doing on his twinkly toes. Buffalo. Here's what happened. I

(05:54):
know exactly what happened, as a distant relative of Nostradamis
and friend of Nostraudenas we telegraphed everything that was going
to happen. It should have happened sooner. It absolutely should
have happened sooner. But it didn't. If the Bills had
listened to us, it would have happened sooner. But Buffalo,
they put up with Stefon Diggs. Blowney. They put up

(06:15):
with this. Blowney will say until his production went down,
down down. They'd be like, ah, we're okay with this
whole prema down thing. And in any business. I work
in the radio business, so I know how that works.
There's always a holes at every radio station. But as
long as they have an audience, it doesn't matter. The
moment of the audience goes away, we say bye bye
to the a holes, we get rid of them. But

(06:37):
it's the law of diminishing returns, and nobody is above
the law the law of diminishing returns. Stefon diggs performance
has declined, which means he could no longer coexist with
the Buffalo Bills and their roster and all that and
so and not worth the headaches, not worth the headaches,
and so if if you play this out all, he's

(07:00):
the case, right, there's always the case the player. If
you're still producing, they make excuses for you. Stefan Diggs
stop producing the second half of the season. He was
a decoy, and so I pay him the money. He's
in a hole. He's a schmuck guy, he's a bloody rue.
We don't want to pay him money, so they got

(07:22):
But if you want to keep the player, it's very
easy to finagle the salary cap and move some digits around.
Most smart people know that, but morons don't. All right. Furthermore,
we go to Pittsburgh. A couple of months back. We
did a Mallard monologue that referenced the words of wisdom
from someone named Jalen Warren. That's a running back, we

(07:43):
are told, for the Pittsburgh football team, and he made
headlines by saying the special teams coach in Pittsburgh was
contemplating putting quarterback Justin Fields as a kick returner, put
him on special teams. Now. Fields addressed this. He was
asked about it as he took part in Steeler workouts

(08:04):
Justin Fields, attempting to put the kebash on all that noise.
He said, quote, I'm not here to do that. I
Am not here to do that, he said, when asked
about returning kicks. It was kind of a joke. Field said,
to be honest, dismissive of his teammate Jalen Warren. So, Fields,

(08:28):
the question is this Justin Fields? Now he's obviously downplaying,
claiming it's nothing, nothing to see here, downplaying the story.
But Justin Field's downplaying the story the possibility of returning kicks.
Where are you at on this one? So here's where
I am Justin Fields. Easier for me to say should

(08:48):
be the word open minded. He should be open minded.
He was the NFL's twenty third ranked quarterback in a
make or break year for the Chicago Bears. He broke,
he broke. If Justin Fields had played the way the
Bears thought he was going to play, he would still
be the quarterback in Chicago. They would have traded the

(09:10):
number one pick again. But you ain't that guy, Pal,
You're not that guy. And he wasn't that guy. And
no matter how many people on social media, Russian bots
North Korean bots try to pump up Justin Fields, he
was bad. That's just the reality. That's why he's no
longer the quarterback of the Bears. And might I point
out he is currently trailing Russell Wilson, mister unlimited Russell

(09:33):
Wilson in the quarterback race in Pittsburgh for Mike tom So.
My professional advice, unsolicited professional advice from years of being
a blow hard and a gas bag on the radio.
You are at a fork in the road. Everyone knows
Justin Fields is at a fork in the road. Your
career is in a ditch on the side of the road.

(09:58):
So follow the teachings of comic book character from Back
of the Day, Inspector Gadget. Become a gadget guy, Go
go Gadget. What I mean by that, you do a
little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's
like many people who go to the buffet. People like
buffets because they can have a little pasta little steak,
little chicken, maybe some vegetables. Who wants that? Some rice?

(10:21):
But you do a little bit of this, a little
bit of that. You eat a little bit of it.
And as a gadget guy, you play some quarterback. You
don't completely forget about the quarterback position. A little wide
receiver return some kicks help your team out. Otherwise you
can get hemorrhoids sitting on the bench watching Russell Wilson
play and bang your head against the clipboard saying, why

(10:44):
am I not playing? What is up with that? All right?
Last thing, we go to the calendar app on your phone.
Why would we do that? Well, we will do that
because there's an interesting story that will affect how you
can sports talk radio and the content we provide in
sports talk radio. We're hearing the NFL Players Association, the

(11:09):
team that has no no power, that union that's pretty
much toothless the toothless tiger. So the Player Association Union
in the NFL players is working on a proposal that,
if it happens, would overhaul the entire NFL calendar in
terms of off season workouts. So the NFLPA is pushing

(11:32):
to remove voluntary offseason workouts, those voluntary OTAs which are
a staple of the NFL this time of the year,
and instead they say, no voluntary workouts. You're just going
to have a longer training camp. You have a longer
training camp. Now, teams would be allowed to start camp

(11:53):
as early as mid June. Sounds good, right, mid June,
and they would slowly ramp up to the normal training
camp portion of the show, which happens in mid July.
That's when normally all the parties get started. So the
change would go into effect in twenty twenty five. It

(12:14):
seems like this is rather far along. But what kind
of concessions is the union going to give to the NFL,
Because the NFL owners never give anything unless they get
some so what are they going to give? I don't
know about that, But the question is what do you
make of the NFL Players Association looking to eliminate voluntary

(12:36):
offseason workouts. So I have this in the flex category
as in flex time meaning they want more time off
is what they would like. They don't want to deal
with this. It's a sign of the times, really, it
is a sign of the times. The players back of
the old days, they wanted to work harder, they wanted
to run extra sprints, they wanted to lift more weights.

(12:57):
Now eh, you know, it's all about that work life balance.
A sign of the times, right, work life balance. OTAs
are one of those things. And training camp also. Both
these things have been grandfathered in over the years, been
grandfathered in over the years in the schedule. And the

(13:20):
funny thing about the training camp, they want a longer
training camp. I will guarant fan to you, guaran effing
to you that if they have a longer training camp,
the players will complain about that. And they still to
this day they can play. The training camp thing is
out there. And I was told by some of the
works in the NFL years ago the reason they do
the OTAs is twofold. Yeah, they want to check on

(13:42):
the players, but most players are in shape. You got
maybe one fat ass on every team, but other than that,
the players are in shape, otherwise you wouldn't be in
the NFL. But it's really a cheap, shameless way to
get publicity. But do you really even need to do
that if you're the NFL, you know what I'm saying,
you're the NF. Everyone talks about the NFL like if

(14:02):
the NFL didn't have OTAs and just started training camp
in June, like that would affect the coverage of the NF. No, No,
it wouldn't, And for us, it would actually enhance it
enhance the show because we talked mostly basketball playoffs in May.
Now the NBA Finals are in June. That would f
the NFL. The NFL would f the NBA on that one,

(14:24):
and that would be interesting. Another way to stick it
to Mark Cuban and the NBA owners to have training
camp going on while you're having your NBA finals. But
it would replace the June gloom other than the NBA Finals,
June usually slow and dreary and all that. In terms

like when he they're trying to decide what they want

(16:42):

you worse the one with the roaches. Anyway, the people
over at Lasik Eye Surgery decided they would take advantage
of Angel Hernandez and his retirement because of course, every
one loves a well placed joke about Angel Hernandez, and

(17:06):
they had some fun on social media with that goofing

Speaker 6 (18:07):
Yeah, Joshua, I might here in Indio, California. It's just
beautiful here valley all the way. And you know, I
was gonna share and talk about honor Bill Watson. You know,
such a great person, humble person, and I was gonna
honor him. I was wondering if I could share the story,
if I would get a golden ticket.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, you're pre you're preemptively asking for a golden ticket.
Why why are you doing that? Well, okay, I just wine.
I mean, if you give a good story, that's great.
You're supposed to, but I don't know you need a
golden ticket.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Well, of course people want me to have a golden ticket.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
But oh my god, I just give this more annoying Doug.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
For a golden ticket.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Okay, Okay, Coppy or holler James at least James. James means, well,
let me give you.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
Let me tell you the story. I'm gonna honor Bill
Waltson in his memory.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Okay, And this is really when when Bill Walton was
on his deathbed, he was hoping that you would called
up to celebrate his lifetime.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
And here, well, you know, I just want to honor
Bill Walton. I was lucky enough to meet him. At
San Diego. They used to have a it was called
a junior sayoffs and uh right.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Say I used to go there, Hackshaw did remote. I
went there too, Yeah, good, not a bad little sports
bar there. Sales.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
Yeah, it's nice and beautiful. Now currently the Buffalo Wild Wings.
I pick up orders out there and I do brief
it's wild Wings, but I get flashbacks when I get there.
All the time, you know, I met Junior Sales. I
was working with my boss and I used to do
airbus and paint the cars. When we were walking outside,
I saw a tall guy and that was Bill Walton
and I was there with my boss. He's a big

(19:45):
he used to be a he's to celebrator fan. You
a big raider fan. And I said, is that Bill Watson?
And he said, yeah, that's Bill Walton. I was like, well,
he had a security guard. I was like, I'm gonna
go out to him. Can you take a picture. Im
gonna ask him for a picture. He's like, yeah, sure.
So I went up to my boss. Knew Bill Walton.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Let me yes, let me guess Walton he punched you
right in the face.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
No, no, not a security I said, Bill Walton had
a security.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Had a security guard. He said, hippy, why would he
need a security guard?

Speaker 6 (20:11):
He had? Well, you know, Bill Walton's family is a
Hall of Famer. You know, it's a great guy. Did
a lot for the community service. So I mean they'll
probably be crazy guys. You know, he's famous, you know.
So we had a security guard and my boss, well,
I went up there in my boss okay, to take
the picture. Just yeah, sure, and I was, you know,
looking up and no pleasure.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Unless it is a long story. Hey, I mean we're
getting the extended dance read. How about you get about it?
In one sentence, I met Walton, he hugged me. We
had a moment.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
But yeah, we had a moment. But guess what, we
had more than one moment. And then and then I
was working in La and Hollywood doing it.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
That was the end of the story.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I mean, he's bow guarding the time and we can't.
We don't have time for that. I have no time
for Poppy to give a ten minute story about Bill
and you know whatever he was gonna say, he's gonna
stink anyone.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
I mean, you could just shut your bait. Yeah, you
finish his story. There was nothing to it. And then
he was going to move on to another story.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Which also would have It's it's like drinking like soda.
It's bad for you. It's got the empty calory.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I think it's way worse than drinking soda. He's drinking
something else.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Let's go to Donut Kelly, who is in Nashville. Hello,
Donut Kelly, Hi Ben, how are you. If I was
any better, I would be a donut. But no, I
would not because Coop would consume Kelly. Be very careful
how you handle this. Don't threaten her just.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Saying let her give her honest opinion.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Be very careful, don't threaten her.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
Well, I thought I was calling today with's a very
random story about my history. I know there's a lot
of Mariners sands that listen to you, which is ironic.
I love it.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's not right. We're on a big station in Seattle,
and they know they know quality sports talk radio.

Speaker 7 (22:06):
So that's exactly Mariners fans are smart. But school in
high school, I was actually the mascot for the Triple
A team of the Mariners.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
In Tacoma, I was.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
I was Rubarb of the reindeer for the Tacoma Rainiers
for a summer eddie.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
We're talking to a celebrity.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I had no idea we're talking to Rubarb.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Did you have to walk on all fours like a reindeer?

Speaker 7 (22:33):
No standing costume, but you did have to do a
run with the kids at like the fifth inning, you
run around the bases.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
The man I did that. Well, we did a bit
years ago at a team they don't exist. The Lancaster JetHawks,
and I was I was going to raise the mascot
and you'll be learn he cheated. What the mascot named Kaboom,
And the mascot was all set up the mask you wind,
don't worry or your celebrity guest. And we turned second base.

(23:05):
We get to about right next to third base and
Kaboom the mascot turns on the jets. So I then
had to push yeah, kaboom mask chee because I didn't cheat.
We had an agreement, and he broke the agreement. Kaboom
the mascot broke the agreement, and I had to I
had to defend myself. We had a bunch of listeners
at that game, and I didn't want to embarrass myself,

(23:26):
and so I there was a joke the maskot and
I'm glad Kaboom was canceled. Kaboom the mascot.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
No, I mean I I literally just did the run
with Rubarb with the kids. It wasn't like I was
trying to win anything. It was just literally run around
the bases with the kids.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Now, how many of the kids with a lot of kids.
I know Jonas Knox who works here does our morning show.
He was Chucky cheese, and kids do not respect the
sanctity of the mascot. They sometimes start grabbing and pulling
things on the mask, got punching. I don't think she
has to worry about that. But yes, yes, no, I
mean it's great.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Unfortunately, the one day my dad decided to come video
me being Rubarb the Reindeer was the day that I
tripped over a child.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
And well, that's more fun, though, that's part of the
fun of being a mascot, is your trip You probably
you should have told your dad that was an intentional act,
that you did that for comedic reasons. What was I
I was watching some I was watching the White Sox
game for speaking of mascots, and I didn't even know
the mascot. I didn't know the White Sox had a mascot.

(24:31):
They have a furry green mascot, a rip off of
Wally the Green Monster, mixed with the Philly fanatic bull crap, bullcrap,
get your own f and mascot philing Chicago White Sox.
That's embarrassing. I'm sorry, I just thought of that. Kelly, No,
it's okay.

Speaker 7 (24:48):
I didn't even know the White Sox had that either.
I lived in Chicago for two years, had no idea.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
I think they just got it within the last ten years,
but I didn't know about it.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
Now, Kelly, this is wonderful mascot talk normal. We would
love mascot talk. However, there is a key issue we
would like to get your opinion on. Do you know
what I'm talking about?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Kelly, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
You don't know.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
Okay, we had we had hot, We had hot donut
talk on the show. You did it was it was terrible.
But uh, that you couldn't be a part of it
was terrible. That you give me a part of it?
All right, So there's enough.

Speaker 7 (25:24):
There's So there.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
Was a debate on the show as to if a
cinnamon roll is a donut or not. Where do you
come down on this as a donut professional, well as.

Speaker 7 (25:40):
A donut professional and also a shift I don't want
to upset Ben Mallard, but a cinnamon roll is not
a donut?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
There it is. That is over.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Professional chimed in. We win, good guys win.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
It is far from over. It's as far is over.
That is one woman's opinion.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Professional professional donut woman.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
We don't know what you call her donut Kelly it's done.
She's a lady. I was being polit I don't know.
Maybe she's a liar. I don't know. Maybe she just
made that up. She wants to get Kelly quicker, to
be threatened by bed and yet threatening Kelly know.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
That she had to tell the truth as a donut professional.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Listen to Ben Trump to tell the.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Truth, she did.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
I am not Kelly every time. No, no, well listen
now you're trying to suck up to me. But I
will not allow that. And I'm glad you'll never be
on the air again. Kelly. This is it the time
we ever talked. I will never speak to you again.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Legend.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
No, you're not Kelly.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
I give you a golden ticket. By the way, I'm.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Getting you a golden I was going to get you
a cinnamon roll Kelly, but no, I'm not no cinnamon
rolled it.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
She gets cinnamon rolls and donuts whenever she wants.
