Big contract handed out on Thursday, We react to it
here on the Friday Pod. Trevor Lawrence. Has Trevor Lawrence
done enough to earn this massive Jaguars payday two hundred
million guaranteed? Also, Alvin Kamara is wrangling with the Saints
(01:34):
over his contract. How does this one work out? And
Bernie Kozar, a hero from the nineteen eighties in Cleveland,
is suing over a ceremonial bet that got him fired
from the Browns radio broadcast. Does Bernie have a case?
We'll talk about all that and more right now. We'll
put it all together here. It is our number one,
(02:00):
the Big Shrimp.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well come, in the beginning of another night of the
Benmahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Having a slugfest as we.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Run the show coast, border, the border, and beyond on
the vast and unrelentingly powerful microphones of fsre amminating live
from the Fund, the Hedge Fund of Sports takes. We're
broadcasting live from the tire act dot Com studios.
Speaker 1 (02:36):

Speaker 2 (02:37):

free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stars, almost as many as the Bourbon Badger
has had drinks. Tire act dot Com the way tire
buying should be. You have survived another day, and you
(02:57):
have gone into the darkness, the wilderness of the late night.
Here are lead to begin the night. Play the hits,
ball man play the hits are We'll play the hits
are lead this hour coming from the banker's office.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Deal or no deal. We gotta deal. We gotta deal.
Money it's good enough.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Money is still flowing out of NFL headquarters and into
the bank account of a random random NFL players. Latest
example is in Jacksonville, the new Big Shrimp of Jacksonville.
If you have not heard, there's nothing more compelling than
breaking down the Jacksonville Jaguars on sports radio.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So here we are. I know you're very excited. You
want to hear this rant.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So Trevor Lawrence, I assume you know by now, but
possibly not. There were some murmurs about him getting a
new contract, and it has happened, Trevor Lawrence agreeing to
the riches of Solomon and a bunch of his friends
a five year deal two hundred and seventy five million
dollars the extension in Jacksonville. Of course it's not all guaranteed,
(04:01):
but most of it is two hundred million in guaranteed money,
almost as much as my deal here with Fox Sports Radio.
And for Trevor Lawrence it includes a Baffosaco one hundred
and forty two million at signing Lawrence picking up a
thirty seven and a half million dollar signing bonus, and
(04:23):
then he'll get a bunch of the other money as
well right away. So the deal starts technically in twenty
twenty six, meaning that Trevor Lawrence is handcuffed to the
Jacksonville franchise and their gold handcuffs through twenty thirty. So
let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs down.
Has Trevor Lawrence done enough to earn this massive Jacksonville payday?
(04:50):
So I've got Bumpkins, Concierge, and Tropicana, and we will
combine all of these things and give you nuggets, not
chicken nuggets, Nuggets of wisdom is what we're going to provide.
So A the answer to the question has he done
enough well, the obviously is it thumb down. Thumbs down
(05:11):
on that. But I'm not the one paying, I mean,
ain't my money. But Trevor Lawrence, I look at him
like this. He's still in the beta testing phase and
it ain't going well right the early results of showing
there's a lot of glitches. There's thing of a jigs
that are not going right.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Here.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
He's half the man he was supposed to be coming
out of Clemson, billboarded as the messiah, a Michelin star
chef coming out of college, and instead he has been.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
A line cook. Now you need line cooks.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Line cooks are important, but they don't get paid as
much as a Michelin star chef. That's just the way
it works in the kitchen game. But half, I mean,
it's just half the player. Really, Now, what is my evidence?
My evidence is the eyeballs, my bifocals, and the stats.
Trevor Lawrence is the NFL leader in fumbles and interceptions
(06:03):
per game. And if you break the numbers down, there
are absolute turnburgers like Danny dime Store quarterback Daniel Jones,
the Vanillovich Mac Jones, who's the backup in Jacksonville. And
my guy Gardner Minshew, the vagabond quarterback now with the Raiders,
who have better numbers than Trevor Lawrence. So why did
(06:24):
he get paid? I'm gonna tell you, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Never wrong about these things. When I give it a take,
I'm never wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The reason Trevor Lawrence got the bag is because of Bumpkins,
Country Bumpkins, the people running the Jaguars front office. I mean,
tell me you're a hillbilly without telling me you're a hillbilly.
The Jags front office suffering clearly from an inferiority complex.
There's no other way to spin this. Trevor Lawrence's performance
on the field has been second rate. The guy doesn't
(06:53):
deserve the contract. I know, we're in a time where
everyone's getting paid.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Way you get paid, you get paid, you get it's great, wonderful,
what afoult.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
But when you pay someone that hasn't earned the money
other than his draft status, right, it shows that you
are insecure. It shows that you have low self esteem,
and it's the NFL's answer to the New Orleans Pro
boundcyball team.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Paying that fat.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Ass Zion Williamson when he got the big contract. And
it goes back to its roots, and at.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
The core it's fomo. It's fear of missing out.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And the Jacksonville football team they're not really crazy about Lawrence,
but they're concerned that if they don't extend him and
somehow he leaves and goes somewhere else in a couple
of years, he'll then become great in Dallas or Team X.
And there's no way they can allow that to happen.
There's also no way he's earned the money.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Even his parents.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Would say he hasn't earned the money all right now,
page two, speaking of unhappiness, unhappiness around the NFL, Alvin
Kamara dateline New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
He is wrangling with.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
These Saints over his contract, skipped out on some workouts.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
How does this? How does this one play out?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So I activated the Malord think tank on this, and
I have determined that the New Orleans Saints, since Kamara's
not happy, He's got this year and then I believe
no guaranteed money after that. You need to have a
come to Jesus moment which will work in New Orleans,
which is squarely in the Bible belt. So you have
(08:32):
a come to Jesus meeting with Alvin Kamara and a guy,
as my grandfather would say, has a lot of utzba.
He was caught on tape, beaten the crap out of
some dude at a casino in Vegas, got away with it,
and now he's flexing and he has the audacity.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
To demand Mordaux for a middling Saints team.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So if you look at the Saints and the long
term forecast, long term forecast, my advice, I would advise
the Saint to get together with Kamara and then visit
the travel concierge and send him into the transfer portal.
Kamara turns twenty nine this summer. Now that's not old
(09:12):
in real life, but we all know if you read
the fine print when it comes to running backs, he's
getting real close to the use.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
By date, real close. Not the purchase date, the use
by date.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So what happens You start getting some mold there. It
doesn't go well. So if I'm the Saints here, I'm like, well,
let's put out some feelers.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So let's call it cowboys up. Cowboys don't have a
running back.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Hey, how would you like Alvin Kamara, contact Kansas City.
They don't really have a running back and they won
the last two Super Bowl What do you think you want,
Alvin Kamara?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Come on, New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
All I know for sure is New Orleans has Derek
carrt quarterback, and that is the international sign. You're not
trying to win when you have Derek cart quarterback. You're
just happy being in the middle.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
The Saints can miss the playoffs with Alvin or without
Alvin Kamara, and he's a running back and running backs
are replaceable.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They can win about eight.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Or nine games, be somewhere in that seven to eight
to nine win territory without him.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So if he's complaining, if he's not happy, get out
of here.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Last word, we go now to the court system in Ohio.
That is where former Browns quarterback Bernie Koser. I'm doing
this for Dick Dick and Dayton, a former Browns quarterback.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
He calls the last Star.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You probably don't know who that is if you only
listen to the beginning show. One of our whack pack
callers from Ohio. So, former Browns quarterback Bernie Koser news
came out this week.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We knew he had lost his job as the conduit.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It wasn't like the play by player color guy for
the Browns. He was on the pregame show, the radio
pregame show. He lost his job last year very dramatically
because the Browns fired him. He had violated NFL rules
by placing a ceremonial wager on some betting app in Ohio.
And he is now suing the media company that set
(11:07):
all that up, at least what he claims set up,
and alleging that they forced him to make that ceremonial bet.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
So how much does Coosar want?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
He would like eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
he also wants another twenty five thousand to pay for
his slimy attorneys, and so damage is in excess of
eight hundred and fifty thousands, so even more than that.
So let's break it down like this, Bernie Kozar legend
of a different era in the NFL, way back in
(11:37):
the eighties.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Cos are suing over the.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Bet that he made ceremonial bet got him fired by
the Browns.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Does he have a case?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Now, I'm gonna preface this by saying I am not
a lawyer, but I did stay at a holiday and
express recently.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So here's my take on this. You can sue.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Almost anyone for almost anything. We all know that it's
the American way.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Sue, sue, sue, sue, sue.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The real question is not if you can sue, it's
whether you have a winnable case. And based on a
minutes long Malard investigation, Bernie cars Are does not have
a winnable case.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
He signed a bad deal. Who goofed?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I've got to know, methinks Cozar's advice is based on
what I have been able to access on the interweb.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
This is elementary, is what it is. And as they.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Say at Tropicana, occasionally the juice is not worth the squeeze.
For example, if you have a pretty dependable job that
you like, and you're a franchise legend, and you're with
the Cleveland Browns pregame radio show, and you think that's
an important job, you probably don't want to take a
side hustle with a media company that will end up
(12:48):
screwing you over with a contract and having you do something.
You should do it cos I should have known not
not to do it, and somebody in his inner circle
messed up. They drop the bag and as we know,
ignorance is not an excuse and someone should have told
him he should have known better, but apparently that did
(13:10):
not happen. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
like to comment on that or anything else that is
on your mind, well within reason, within reason, right, I
don't need to give you the seminar as it's not
Malard's workshop on what's in reason and what's not in reason?
And even if I say that, it doesn't matter because
what happens is we know that people will call up
and just go off the reservation. So anyway, we'll take
(13:33):
your calls. Also on X at Ben Maul, the comedy
club will open up an hour three. It's Big Ben's
laying jokes. All the amateur comedians will unite together to
provide you with some comedy. And then the people I
work with will not laugh. They will ruin the festivus
that we have here. They will not be part of
the bet because they are against me. So that will happen.
(13:54):
But you can laugh. And I love the emails saying
I like those jokes, Why did Eddie hate them? Because
Eddie hates everything. That's the way it works. Anyway, we'll
take your calls. Also, we've got swimming with the Dolphins.
And sure enough, the Tom Brady ceremonies I call a
living funeral for Tom Brady. They had where everyone got
together sixty thousand men, women and children to kiss Tom
(14:17):
Brady's took us in Foxboro this week. Well, there are
some people that are upset with what happened at that event.
We'll tell you specifically what they're upset with. We'll get
to that and we will do it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Next.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber list Jam and me. Well,
you know what it's called over promise. You should be
good at it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,
it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we want
(15:13):
you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also going to talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,
but definitely join us. Listen to over Promised with Coavino
and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

Speaker 3 (15:45):
The Ben Malbur Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on x He's
at Ben Mahler and you can post that and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, You're humbles Kick, the Voice of Reason, your
news guy, you're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
On Fox Nuts.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
A'm i from the Tirack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
We roll on through the late night hours here.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Later on next hour we'll have Mallard of the third Degree,
and then lame jokes an hour three and we'll have
Sports Jeopardy in our number four. As we work our
way through the overnight late night drug tester says, these
NFL quarterbacks need to get paid since they can't get
their jewelry for free unless you are Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
He seems to get free diamonds almost.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Every February, so so he says there, yes, we've got
swimming with the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
There was a move.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
This would have been a big move a couple of
years back, but not now. The Miami Dolphins, who fancy
themselves a contender the AFC, are adding a Walter Payton
NFL Man of the Year formerly and a six time
Pro Bowl. If you're a six time Pro Bowler, that
means you're old. And the Dolphins have added Kaleis Campbell.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We know the name. He's been around a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
He's been to the six Pro Bowls, which doesn't even
mean that much because the Pro Bowl doesn't exist anymore.
But he's thirty seven years old, and you know things
are not expected to be great for Kalais Campbell when
the reports say he's going to bring leadership, not good play.
They need good play. But he's gonna bring leadership. And
this is a guy that contemplated retirement. And when you
(17:36):
think about retirement, you.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Go to Florida. I know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I used to work with the guy on my podcast
that retired and went to Florida, So I know that's
where you go when you're ready to retire. I know
that Milkman, Mike and Colorados is intriguing opening monologue regarding
the loosening of the purse strings by the Jaguars. We've
gone from players getting large paydays past their prime, getting
(18:00):
paid with hope and a wish in their future. They're
still overpaid, but when should they get paid? Yeah, it
has changed in my life. And it used to be
only a handful of players would get the real big money.
But now everyone's getting the money. Like you're in midway
(18:23):
through the quarterback ranking and you're you're getting it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You're getting you're getting paid. You're getting paid big money,
big money, big money, big money, big money, big money.
All right, what else we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Mister nice guy, says, Rock Purty is seeing the contract.
Trevor Lawrence got yeah, let's see see what the niners day.
I mean, he's gonna get minimum fifty five million dollars
a year, Rock Purty? Is he the first sixty million.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Dollars a year?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Guy Wow, Scott from Parts Unknown rights and says, a
plus on the malle monologue and a delicious slice of
dill pickle pizza for you and Eddie.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
We're good. We don't need that.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
The Burner account, you'll take that, all right. Lorraina likes
pickle pizza. It's disgusting. Burner Account says for two hundred
million guaranteed, I'll endorse a magazine. We're definitely in the
wrong business. Even jags can be filthy rich literally.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah. That that appears to be true. That appears to
be true.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And I believe our friend Sean is on a plane
right now flying back from Parts Unknown.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I don't know that's flying to Denver.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I thought he was. I thought he was flying home.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
He's already in Denver.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Oh, all right, So he sent it, okay, fine, he
sent an old photo. It made it seem like he
was on the plane right now, but he's not.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
He's on hold right now.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh oh, he's on hold. Oh man. I don't know.
Is he a good.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Leadoff hitter though, I don't know that we want. I
don't know who we want him as a leadoff hitter.
That's a big job as a leadoff hitter.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Okay, it's a little tough as a leadoff guy. There's
a lot of pressure to get on base when you're
a leadoff guy.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Know about that. Not sure if he's up for it.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But I would like to rip the people that hate
comedy and the people that complained about comedy. So Bill Burr,
I think Bill Burr's pretty funny. Does anyone not think
Bill Burr's funny?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I think he's heard.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
I love Bill Burr.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I think he's very funny.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He've been around for a long time. So Bill Burr
was at the Tom Brady not roast this.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I don't think he was at the Rose.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
He was at the event they had this week in
Foxborough where they had the living funeral for Brady, and
they talked about how much he meant to them, and
everyone's live and sixty thousand people all prayed for Tom
Brady and it was wonderful. So people are upset because
Bill Burr did a fat joke about.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Andy Reid, and so people some people complaining.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You know, this is of course I should I should
preface this by saying, people complaining there are tools that
are out there just designed for people to complain, and
so literally you can find people to complain about anything.
But people on the on the socials complaining that it
was an inappropriate joke.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Do you have the joke?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yes, Bill Burr said, there's I don't have the audio.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But I can.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I understand.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
He says, there's not a lot of certainties in life.
But you won't see another quarterback have a twenty year
run win seven super Bowls like Tom Brady. It won't
happen with Patrick Mahomes because Andy Reid is too fat,
is what Bill Burr said. And people offended, offended? But carey,
come on, it's really well you laughed at it.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I laughed, Yeah, obviously, I'm not offended. Now, it's funny.
Are supposed to be funny, I.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Mean, right, and that the way it's supposed to work,
like comedy, right, it's supposed to be okay, and.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Everything's good there, We're good to go. Yes, all right,
the people getting all.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Flustered over I say, a couple people, a couple people
getting upset.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
You can find a couple of people upset about anything.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
That I said. Social media, that's where you go.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's great because back in the old days, remember when
we got it, well, I got started radio.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
If you wanted to get the opposition.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
People that are upset, you had to go out and
interview people on the street, boots on the ground. Now
you just turn on these apps and you have I
don't even know it's real people. I think a lot
of it's fake algorithms whatever, bots. But you have a
resource that will give you twenty four hours a day,
seven days a week, people bitching about something, complaining about something.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, thank god for the Internet.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Now, Andy, the comic book guy who has it's really
kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
He's not married day. I guess we're getting married next year.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
His wife bought him these knee pads with Josh Allen's
photo on them, and I'm very kind of her to
do that.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
She didn't have to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
But anyway, Andy says, remember two years ago when you
all said thirty four million a year for Josh Allen
was an overpay at the time.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
So far up every crevice of Josh Allen. It's very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Elloy from oft And says, hey, Ben, how about your
Edmonton Oilers? Uh listen, Uh, they were right there. They
were down by one goal with five minutes to go
in the game. It was anyone's game at that point.
They pulled the goaltender. Just didn't work out. Sometimes the
puck bounces your way. Sometimes it doesn't bounce your way.
The series is not over yet, and the hardest game
(23:20):
to win, Eddie, The hardest game to win is that
final game.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Hard predicting the Mavericks are going to win Game four?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Then no, No, I don't care about the Mavericks, Kyrie,
I hope they lose every game. But in hockey, it's different.
In hockey, it's it's much different. Mass Old Mickey says,
compare the stats of Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones. They
are the same player. Would anyone give Mac Jones that contract?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think not. I know that is the cute I guys, yes,
Mac Jones, Daniel Jones, No.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No, Daniel Jones also, but mac Jones and and Trevor
Lawrence have very similar statistics in their NFL career.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It is fast, fascinating and I surprise.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I remember years ago I had a guy that was
in the scouting world in baseball tell me and this
isn't a baseball, not football, not basketball.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But once you get tagged with.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That phenom tag, it takes a lot to get that
off you. Just like the other side when you get
tagged as a stiff, it's hard to change people's opinion.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
And this goes back to what we always.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Say, once a mind is made up. Once a mind
is made up, it rarely, if ever changes. People do
not like to change their minds. And the perception on
Trevor Lawrence is he's good because he was good at
Clemson and gosh darn it, he was drafted at the
very top of the draft and he's a generational quarterback.
The fact that he's actually played and been a middling
(24:46):
quarterback and a turnover machine is it relevant because people
have already made their mind up that he's good. And
then on the flip side, Mac Jones was not the
first quarterback picked. He was drafted in the.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
First round, but near the end or the middle of
the first round, and so people said he's not that good.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
He's more of a product of Nick Saban and Alabama
and so people and he wasn't that good in the NFL.
But Josh Allen, Josh Allen, you know, he came out
of college. People were worried about him, and we're gonna
be go. He's been better than people thought. But as
far as Trevor Lawrence, it's like people made their mind
up he was gonna be good, and they don't want
to change their mind. And so Jacksonville also concerned he's
(25:25):
gonna leave and go somewhere else and be great, and
they're worried about that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And so that's where we are.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It is the Bent Mahler Show, and time now for
the who am I game?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The who M I game? And we'll go to hockey.
Were my guy? But it's bad for hockey.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Edmondson's not winning, but Edmonton's Connor McDavid has fourteen shots
on goal and no goals scored so far in the
Stanley Cup Final. Only ten players since records have been
kept going back to nineteen sixty took more shots in
the first three games of a Cup Final without scoring
a goal. I hold the all time record for the
(26:05):
most shots with zero goals over.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
The first three games of a Stanley Cup Final. Who
am I? That is the question.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
From the NFL. The league announcing the findings of tampering
reviews for the.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Falcons and the Eagles the Tampa Tampa.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
The league found insufficient evidence to find the Eagles as
far as they're signing Saquon Barkley. However, the Falcons were
docked a fifth round pick in twenty twenty five and
fine two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We're going to
show them tampering with Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and somebody
named Charlier Warner Charlie Warner. I don't know, it's maybe spells. Also,
(26:49):
their GM, Terry Fontneau, was fined fifty grand.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So that means Fine is going to get a fifty
thousand dollars bonus to offset that, right now?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That would be it would be nice. I don't know
you ever been fined fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
No, I'd like to have enough money to be fine,
fifty thousand dollars. That would be great if I made
enough where they felt that was reasonable. But Eddie, it's
time for us to have some fun. So let's do
that fun fact. Oh well, this is not going to happen.
But as my job is to inform you, I guess
I don't know. It's probably more to entertain than informed.
But here's the here's the fun fact of the hour.
(27:23):
So we are on the cusp of a very dark
period in American sport.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
We are in North American sport.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Because unless the Edmonton Oilers get off the schneide and
come back and win at least a game, or the
Dallas mav Rex win a game tonight against the Celtics,
that means that both the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals
will have ended in a suite.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Has that ever happened before?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Oh? I'm interested to know that is. Has that ever
happened before?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It has? How many times do you think GE's happened?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Addie, I'll say three times?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I guess a seven seven. No Coopy went in on this.
You want in on the action here, Coop No. Twelve twewelve. Wow,
that's a lot I mean, no, it's happened two times.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I was closed.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You were the closest. Last time it happened was way back.
I was. I was like a toddler, Eddy.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Nineteen ninety five, the Rockets swept the Orlando Magic with
Shaquille O'Neil. If I remember correctly, that was Nick Anderson.
I watched YouTube videos. He missed some foul shots, if
I remember, I think that was was that that serious?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Maybe it was not that serious.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Devil's over the Red Wings in a sweep in ninety five.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
And then the other time it happened.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Was nineteen eighty three where the seventy six ers and
Moses will remember what Moses Malone said that year for
the Sixers, Eddie, when they won on that championship run
it beat the Lakers, he said, fall fall full as
they swept every series, and then the New York Islanders.
The Islanders swept the Edmonton Oilers as well. So it's
(28:54):
only happened a couple of times, ninety five and eighty three,
and unless something wacky happens here and it will happen
in hockey, so you don't need to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
But it has happened twice.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello, here's
a blast in the past. I knew this guy would
call up this week, especially if the Rangers won two
or three. We say hello to Ed in Arlington. Hello,
Ed in Arlington, Welcome, hey Ben, congratulations Ed. It's another
championship for the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And win the series at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yeah, I was keep it a low profile after that
first game. I thought, we'll have this, this one's this
one's out out the window. Maybe the Rangers season is too,
but nice comebacks there. They still can't hit worth of damn,
but they made it a good job of it there
at Dogtadium.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The Dodgers haven't exactly hit well the last couple of
games year. Listen in uh driving in runs That has
not happened.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
No, And they even had misster Otani in the lineup tonight,
unlike the Rangers, who were without their MVP, Corey Seger.
Didn't hurt them too much tonight. No, he's about He's
one of the few Rangers that can hit right now.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
And the great thing about this is, and you know
this from last year, Ed, when the Rangers were not
they didn't dominate. They had issues mid season, right they sure, well,
I got plenty of time to go, plenty of time.
You're mediocre right now, you still got months and months
to flip the switch and get to the World Series.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely. Last year it was their bullpend. It
was crapping out on them every other game, and they
probably lost twenty games if they should have won if
they just had a decent bullpend. This year, their bullpen's terrific.
And now it's their hitters. All of a sudden, they
can't hit. That's what the Rangers have been known for
and past twenty five years is their ability to hit,
(30:43):
and not this year.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well that's a problem because you've got guys that are
locked up in contracts and it's hard to replace those guys, right,
I mean, some of them are hurt, but you can't
change the entire roster over offens. So you can add
one or two players, but you're not going to change
four or five players in the lineup.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So they either hate or they are screwed, basically.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
So exactly, it's weird. They talk of bringing Pete Alonso
to town, but I don't know he think he's kinda
crept out to just be another see that.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Well, but you want that guy, he wants the contract
if he's surrounded by in theory, better players in Texas
and the better lineup, and he gets that bug the
chance to make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
The Mets aren't going to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I would take a shot at a Lonzo, But I
don't think he's gonna re sign with the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I don't. I would be surprised if what happened, but
I would trade for him. Why not.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Not gonna cost you too much and who cares? You're
in it to win it. These are the glory days
of the Texas Rangers. ED in Arlington, you're the reigning champions.
You gotta try to go back to back.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
You have to exactly. I thought they were fading fast there,
but now I'm not so sure. Yeah, if they could
get him for you know, pocket chains, then yeah, why
not take a flyer on him. I wouldn't give up
too much to get him, but he's at the rental.
But yeah, that's a worth shot.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right. Well, thank you. Don't be a stranger, Ed,
don't be a stranger.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Yeah, well I won't as long as they don't embarrass
me like they did all right, well, hey, I.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Gotta be here when my team's embarrassed me. I have
to be here, Okay, I mean I can't hide. I
gotta be in front of the stupid microphone, that dumb
on air light. I gotta come in here, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Hanging there, Thank you?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Ed?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
All right, go away? All right, there's Edy edit Arington.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
So I gave you a chance to answer the question earlier,
and I'm gonna give you more time to answer it
right now.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Here is again the who am I?
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Game?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
We'll go to hockey again for those of you because
I know it's hockey, so you have to go and
you have to like cheat.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
You have to look it up here. It is Edmonton's
Connor McDavid.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
He's got fourteen shots but no no goals. Fourteen shots
on net but no goals so far this season. Only
ten players since they started keeping records almost sixty five
years ago, have taken more shots in the first three
games of a Cup final without scoring a goal. I
hold the record with the most shots and zero goals.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Who am I? That is the question. The answer. We'll
get to it, We'll do it.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
He's got fourteen shots on goal but zero goals.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
As Vass would say, holy crap.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Score as zero goal scored so far this season, only
ten players since records back in nineteen sixty took more
shots in the first three games of a Cup final

the most shots with zero goals. Who am I over

Speaker 1 (34:24):
That I actually watched this game, and I was so
pissed when the Oilers.

I wanted you guys to have more time, more time

The correct answer Eddie Phil Esposito, the hardest.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Esposito with the Boston Bruins nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
He took twenty shots over the first three games for

You said he couldn't lead off the show.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Yeah, he's not a leadoff hitter. He's more like a seven,
eight or nine hitter. He's not a lead off hitter.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Do you think I'm wrong?
Speaker 7 (37:55):
I don't think you're a jerk.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah, well that's true. But do you think I'm wrong? Though?

It'll be coming yourway on that fifth Hour podcast. But
here an hour number one thumbs up or thumbs down.
Big contract handed out on Thursday, We react to it
here on the Friday Pod. Trevor Lawrence. Has Trevor Lawrence
done enough to earn this massive Jaguars payday two hundred
million guaranteed? Also, Alvin Kamara is wrangling with the Saints
(01:34):
over his contract. How does this one work out? And
Bernie Kozar, a hero from the nineteen eighties in Cleveland,
is suing over a ceremonial bet that got him fired
from the Browns radio broadcast. Does Bernie have a case?
We'll talk about all that and more right now. We'll
put it all together here. It is our number one,
(02:00):
the Big Shrimp.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well come, in the beginning of another night of the
Benmahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:13):

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Run the show coast, border, the border, and beyond on

(02:57):
have gone into the darkness, the wilderness of the late night.
Here are lead to begin the night. Play the hits,
ball man play the hits are We'll play the hits
are lead this hour coming from the banker's office.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Deal or no deal. We gotta deal. We gotta deal.
Money it's good enough.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Money is still flowing out of NFL headquarters and into
the bank account of a random random NFL players. Latest
example is in Jacksonville, the new Big Shrimp of Jacksonville.
If you have not heard, there's nothing more compelling than
breaking down the Jacksonville Jaguars on sports radio.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So here we are. I know you're very excited. You
want to hear this rant.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So Trevor Lawrence, I assume you know by now, but
possibly not. There were some murmurs about him getting a
new contract, and it has happened, Trevor Lawrence agreeing to
the riches of Solomon and a bunch of his friends
a five year deal two hundred and seventy five million
dollars the extension in Jacksonville. Of course it's not all guaranteed,
(04:01):
but most of it is two hundred million in guaranteed money,
almost as much as my deal here with Fox Sports Radio.
And for Trevor Lawrence it includes a Baffosaco one hundred
and forty two million at signing Lawrence picking up a
thirty seven and a half million dollar signing bonus, and
(04:23):
then he'll get a bunch of the other money as
well right away. So the deal starts technically in twenty
twenty six, meaning that Trevor Lawrence is handcuffed to the
Jacksonville franchise and their gold handcuffs through twenty thirty. So
let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs down.
Has Trevor Lawrence done enough to earn this massive Jacksonville payday?
(04:50):
So I've got Bumpkins, Concierge, and Tropicana, and we will
combine all of these things and give you nuggets, not
chicken nuggets, Nuggets of wisdom is what we're going to provide.
So A the answer to the question has he done
enough well, the obviously is it thumb down. Thumbs down
(05:11):
on that. But I'm not the one paying, I mean,
ain't my money. But Trevor Lawrence, I look at him
like this. He's still in the beta testing phase and
it ain't going well right the early results of showing
there's a lot of glitches. There's thing of a jigs
that are not going right.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Here.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
He's half the man he was supposed to be coming
out of Clemson, billboarded as the messiah, a Michelin star
chef coming out of college, and instead he has been.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
A line cook. Now you need line cooks.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Line cooks are important, but they don't get paid as
much as a Michelin star chef. That's just the way
it works in the kitchen game. But half, I mean,
it's just half the player. Really, Now, what is my evidence?
My evidence is the eyeballs, my bifocals, and the stats.
Trevor Lawrence is the NFL leader in fumbles and interceptions
(06:03):
per game. And if you break the numbers down, there
are absolute turnburgers like Danny dime Store quarterback Daniel Jones,
the Vanillovich Mac Jones, who's the backup in Jacksonville. And
my guy Gardner Minshew, the vagabond quarterback now with the Raiders,
who have better numbers than Trevor Lawrence. So why did
(06:24):
he get paid? I'm gonna tell you, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Never wrong about these things. When I give it a take,
I'm never wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The reason Trevor Lawrence got the bag is because of Bumpkins,
Country Bumpkins, the people running the Jaguars front office. I mean,
tell me you're a hillbilly without telling me you're a hillbilly.
The Jags front office suffering clearly from an inferiority complex.
There's no other way to spin this. Trevor Lawrence's performance
on the field has been second rate. The guy doesn't
(06:53):
deserve the contract. I know, we're in a time where
everyone's getting paid.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Way you get paid, you get paid, you get it's great, wonderful,
what afoult.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
But when you pay someone that hasn't earned the money
other than his draft status, right, it shows that you
are insecure. It shows that you have low self esteem,
and it's the NFL's answer to the New Orleans Pro
boundcyball team.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Paying that fat.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Ass Zion Williamson when he got the big contract. And
it goes back to its roots, and at.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
The core it's fomo. It's fear of missing out.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And the Jacksonville football team they're not really crazy about Lawrence,
but they're concerned that if they don't extend him and
somehow he leaves and goes somewhere else in a couple
of years, he'll then become great in Dallas or Team X.
And there's no way they can allow that to happen.
There's also no way he's earned the money.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Even his parents.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Would say he hasn't earned the money all right now,
page two, speaking of unhappiness, unhappiness around the NFL, Alvin
Kamara dateline New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
He is wrangling with.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
These Saints over his contract, skipped out on some workouts.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
How does this? How does this one play out?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So I activated the Malord think tank on this, and
I have determined that the New Orleans Saints, since Kamara's
not happy, He's got this year and then I believe
no guaranteed money after that. You need to have a
come to Jesus moment which will work in New Orleans,
which is squarely in the Bible belt. So you have
(08:32):
a come to Jesus meeting with Alvin Kamara and a guy,
as my grandfather would say, has a lot of utzba.
He was caught on tape, beaten the crap out of
some dude at a casino in Vegas, got away with it,
and now he's flexing and he has the audacity.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
To demand Mordaux for a middling Saints team.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So if you look at the Saints and the long
term forecast, long term forecast, my advice, I would advise
the Saint to get together with Kamara and then visit
the travel concierge and send him into the transfer portal.
Kamara turns twenty nine this summer. Now that's not old
(09:12):
in real life, but we all know if you read
the fine print when it comes to running backs, he's
getting real close to the use.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
By date, real close. Not the purchase date, the use
by date.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So what happens You start getting some mold there. It
doesn't go well. So if I'm the Saints here, I'm like, well,
let's put out some feelers.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So let's call it cowboys up. Cowboys don't have a
running back.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Hey, how would you like Alvin Kamara, contact Kansas City.
They don't really have a running back and they won
the last two Super Bowl What do you think you want,
Alvin Kamara?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Come on, New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
All I know for sure is New Orleans has Derek
carrt quarterback, and that is the international sign. You're not
trying to win when you have Derek cart quarterback. You're
just happy being in the middle.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
The Saints can miss the playoffs with Alvin or without
Alvin Kamara, and he's a running back and running backs
are replaceable.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They can win about eight.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Or nine games, be somewhere in that seven to eight
to nine win territory without him.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So if he's complaining, if he's not happy, get out
of here.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Last word, we go now to the court system in Ohio.
That is where former Browns quarterback Bernie Koser. I'm doing
this for Dick Dick and Dayton, a former Browns quarterback.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
He calls the last Star.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You probably don't know who that is if you only
listen to the beginning show. One of our whack pack
callers from Ohio. So, former Browns quarterback Bernie Koser news
came out this week.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We knew he had lost his job as the conduit.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It wasn't like the play by player color guy for
the Browns. He was on the pregame show, the radio
pregame show. He lost his job last year very dramatically
because the Browns fired him. He had violated NFL rules
by placing a ceremonial wager on some betting app in Ohio.
And he is now suing the media company that set
(11:07):
all that up, at least what he claims set up,
and alleging that they forced him to make that ceremonial bet.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
So how much does Coosar want?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
He would like eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
he also wants another twenty five thousand to pay for
his slimy attorneys, and so damage is in excess of
eight hundred and fifty thousands, so even more than that.
So let's break it down like this, Bernie Kozar legend
of a different era in the NFL, way back in
(11:37):
the eighties.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Cos are suing over the.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Bet that he made ceremonial bet got him fired by
the Browns.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Does he have a case?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Now, I'm gonna preface this by saying I am not
a lawyer, but I did stay at a holiday and
express recently.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So here's my take on this. You can sue.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Almost anyone for almost anything. We all know that it's
the American way.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Sue, sue, sue, sue, sue.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The real question is not if you can sue, it's
whether you have a winnable case. And based on a
minutes long Malard investigation, Bernie cars Are does not have
a winnable case.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
He signed a bad deal. Who goofed?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I've got to know, methinks Cozar's advice is based on
what I have been able to access on the interweb.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
This is elementary, is what it is. And as they.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Say at Tropicana, occasionally the juice is not worth the squeeze.
For example, if you have a pretty dependable job that
you like, and you're a franchise legend, and you're with
the Cleveland Browns pregame radio show, and you think that's
an important job, you probably don't want to take a
side hustle with a media company that will end up
(12:48):
screwing you over with a contract and having you do something.
You should do it cos I should have known not
not to do it, and somebody in his inner circle
messed up. They drop the bag and as we know,
ignorance is not an excuse and someone should have told
him he should have known better, but apparently that did
(13:10):
not happen. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
like to comment on that or anything else that is
on your mind, well within reason, within reason, right, I
don't need to give you the seminar as it's not
Malard's workshop on what's in reason and what's not in reason?
And even if I say that, it doesn't matter because
what happens is we know that people will call up
and just go off the reservation. So anyway, we'll take
(13:33):
your calls. Also on X at Ben Maul, the comedy
club will open up an hour three. It's Big Ben's
laying jokes. All the amateur comedians will unite together to
provide you with some comedy. And then the people I
work with will not laugh. They will ruin the festivus
that we have here. They will not be part of
the bet because they are against me. So that will happen.
(13:54):
But you can laugh. And I love the emails saying
I like those jokes, Why did Eddie hate them? Because
Eddie hates everything. That's the way it works. Anyway, we'll
take your calls. Also, we've got swimming with the Dolphins.
And sure enough, the Tom Brady ceremonies I call a
living funeral for Tom Brady. They had where everyone got
together sixty thousand men, women and children to kiss Tom
(14:17):
Brady's took us in Foxboro this week. Well, there are
some people that are upset with what happened at that event.
We'll tell you specifically what they're upset with. We'll get
to that and we will do it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Next.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber list Jam and me. Well,
you know what it's called over promise. You should be
good at it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,
it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we want
(15:13):
you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also going to talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,
but definitely join us. Listen to over Promised with Coavino
and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
The Ben Malbur Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on x He's
at Ben Mahler and you can post that and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, You're humbles Kick, the Voice of Reason, your
news guy, you're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
On Fox Nuts.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
A'm i from the Tirack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
We roll on through the late night hours here.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Later on next hour we'll have Mallard of the third Degree,
and then lame jokes an hour three and we'll have
Sports Jeopardy in our number four. As we work our
way through the overnight late night drug tester says, these
NFL quarterbacks need to get paid since they can't get
their jewelry for free unless you are Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
He seems to get free diamonds almost.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Every February, so so he says there, yes, we've got
swimming with the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
There was a move.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
This would have been a big move a couple of
years back, but not now. The Miami Dolphins, who fancy
themselves a contender the AFC, are adding a Walter Payton
NFL Man of the Year formerly and a six time
Pro Bowl. If you're a six time Pro Bowler, that
means you're old. And the Dolphins have added Kaleis Campbell.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We know the name. He's been around a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
He's been to the six Pro Bowls, which doesn't even
mean that much because the Pro Bowl doesn't exist anymore.
But he's thirty seven years old, and you know things
are not expected to be great for Kalais Campbell when
the reports say he's going to bring leadership, not good play.
They need good play. But he's gonna bring leadership. And
this is a guy that contemplated retirement. And when you
(17:36):
think about retirement, you.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Go to Florida. I know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I used to work with the guy on my podcast
that retired and went to Florida, So I know that's
where you go when you're ready to retire. I know
that Milkman, Mike and Colorados is intriguing opening monologue regarding
the loosening of the purse strings by the Jaguars. We've
gone from players getting large paydays past their prime, getting
(18:00):
paid with hope and a wish in their future. They're
still overpaid, but when should they get paid? Yeah, it
has changed in my life. And it used to be
only a handful of players would get the real big money.
But now everyone's getting the money. Like you're in midway
(18:23):
through the quarterback ranking and you're you're getting it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You're getting you're getting paid. You're getting paid big money,
big money, big money, big money, big money, big money.
All right, what else we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Mister nice guy, says, Rock Purty is seeing the contract.
Trevor Lawrence got yeah, let's see see what the niners day.
I mean, he's gonna get minimum fifty five million dollars
a year, Rock Purty? Is he the first sixty million.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Dollars a year?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Guy Wow, Scott from Parts Unknown rights and says, a
plus on the malle monologue and a delicious slice of
dill pickle pizza for you and Eddie.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
We're good. We don't need that.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
The Burner account, you'll take that, all right. Lorraina likes
pickle pizza. It's disgusting. Burner Account says for two hundred
million guaranteed, I'll endorse a magazine. We're definitely in the
wrong business. Even jags can be filthy rich literally.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah. That that appears to be true. That appears to
be true.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And I believe our friend Sean is on a plane
right now flying back from Parts Unknown.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I don't know that's flying to Denver.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I thought he was. I thought he was flying home.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
He's already in Denver.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Oh, all right, So he sent it, okay, fine, he
sent an old photo. It made it seem like he
was on the plane right now, but he's not.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
He's on hold right now.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh oh, he's on hold. Oh man. I don't know.
Is he a good.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Leadoff hitter though, I don't know that we want. I
don't know who we want him as a leadoff hitter.
That's a big job as a leadoff hitter.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Okay, it's a little tough as a leadoff guy. There's
a lot of pressure to get on base when you're
a leadoff guy.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Know about that. Not sure if he's up for it.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But I would like to rip the people that hate
comedy and the people that complained about comedy. So Bill Burr,
I think Bill Burr's pretty funny. Does anyone not think
Bill Burr's funny?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I think he's heard.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
I love Bill Burr.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I think he's very funny.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He've been around for a long time. So Bill Burr
was at the Tom Brady not roast this.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I don't think he was at the Rose.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
He was at the event they had this week in
Foxborough where they had the living funeral for Brady, and
they talked about how much he meant to them, and
everyone's live and sixty thousand people all prayed for Tom
Brady and it was wonderful. So people are upset because
Bill Burr did a fat joke about.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Andy Reid, and so people some people complaining.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You know, this is of course I should I should
preface this by saying, people complaining there are tools that
are out there just designed for people to complain, and
so literally you can find people to complain about anything.
But people on the on the socials complaining that it
was an inappropriate joke.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Do you have the joke?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yes, Bill Burr said, there's I don't have the audio.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
But I can.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I understand.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
He says, there's not a lot of certainties in life.
But you won't see another quarterback have a twenty year
run win seven super Bowls like Tom Brady. It won't
happen with Patrick Mahomes because Andy Reid is too fat,
is what Bill Burr said. And people offended, offended? But carey,
come on, it's really well you laughed at it.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I laughed, Yeah, obviously, I'm not offended. Now, it's funny.
Are supposed to be funny, I.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Mean, right, and that the way it's supposed to work,
like comedy, right, it's supposed to be okay, and.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Everything's good there, We're good to go. Yes, all right,
the people getting all.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Flustered over I say, a couple people, a couple people
getting upset.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
You can find a couple of people upset about anything.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
That I said. Social media, that's where you go.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's great because back in the old days, remember when
we got it, well, I got started radio.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
If you wanted to get the opposition.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
People that are upset, you had to go out and
interview people on the street, boots on the ground. Now
you just turn on these apps and you have I
don't even know it's real people. I think a lot
of it's fake algorithms whatever, bots. But you have a
resource that will give you twenty four hours a day,
seven days a week, people bitching about something, complaining about something.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, thank god for the Internet.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Now, Andy, the comic book guy who has it's really
kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
He's not married day. I guess we're getting married next year.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
His wife bought him these knee pads with Josh Allen's
photo on them, and I'm very kind of her to
do that.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
She didn't have to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
But anyway, Andy says, remember two years ago when you
all said thirty four million a year for Josh Allen
was an overpay at the time.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
So far up every crevice of Josh Allen. It's very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Elloy from oft And says, hey, Ben, how about your
Edmonton Oilers? Uh listen, Uh, they were right there. They
were down by one goal with five minutes to go
in the game. It was anyone's game at that point.
They pulled the goaltender. Just didn't work out. Sometimes the
puck bounces your way. Sometimes it doesn't bounce your way.
The series is not over yet, and the hardest game
(23:20):
to win, Eddie, The hardest game to win is that
final game.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Hard predicting the Mavericks are going to win Game four?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Then no, No, I don't care about the Mavericks, Kyrie,
I hope they lose every game. But in hockey, it's different.
In hockey, it's it's much different. Mass Old Mickey says,
compare the stats of Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones. They
are the same player. Would anyone give Mac Jones that contract?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think not. I know that is the cute I guys, yes,
Mac Jones, Daniel Jones, No.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No, Daniel Jones also, but mac Jones and and Trevor
Lawrence have very similar statistics in their NFL career.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It is fast, fascinating and I surprise.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I remember years ago I had a guy that was
in the scouting world in baseball tell me and this
isn't a baseball, not football, not basketball.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But once you get tagged with.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That phenom tag, it takes a lot to get that
off you. Just like the other side when you get
tagged as a stiff, it's hard to change people's opinion.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
And this goes back to what we always.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Say, once a mind is made up. Once a mind
is made up, it rarely, if ever changes. People do
not like to change their minds. And the perception on
Trevor Lawrence is he's good because he was good at
Clemson and gosh darn it, he was drafted at the
very top of the draft and he's a generational quarterback.
The fact that he's actually played and been a middling
(24:46):
quarterback and a turnover machine is it relevant because people
have already made their mind up that he's good. And
then on the flip side, Mac Jones was not the
first quarterback picked. He was drafted in the.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
First round, but near the end or the middle of
the first round, and so people said he's not that good.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
He's more of a product of Nick Saban and Alabama
and so people and he wasn't that good in the NFL.
But Josh Allen, Josh Allen, you know, he came out
of college. People were worried about him, and we're gonna
be go. He's been better than people thought. But as
far as Trevor Lawrence, it's like people made their mind
up he was gonna be good, and they don't want
to change their mind. And so Jacksonville also concerned he's
(25:25):
gonna leave and go somewhere else and be great, and
they're worried about that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And so that's where we are.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It is the Bent Mahler Show, and time now for
the who am I game?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The who M I game? And we'll go to hockey.
Were my guy? But it's bad for hockey.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Edmondson's not winning, but Edmonton's Connor McDavid has fourteen shots
on goal and no goals scored so far in the
Stanley Cup Final. Only ten players since records have been
kept going back to nineteen sixty took more shots in
the first three games of a Cup Final without scoring
a goal. I hold the all time record for the
(26:05):
most shots with zero goals over.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
The first three games of a Stanley Cup Final. Who
am I? That is the question.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
From the NFL. The league announcing the findings of tampering
reviews for the.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Falcons and the Eagles the Tampa Tampa.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
The league found insufficient evidence to find the Eagles as
far as they're signing Saquon Barkley. However, the Falcons were
docked a fifth round pick in twenty twenty five and
fine two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We're going to
show them tampering with Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and somebody
named Charlier Warner Charlie Warner. I don't know, it's maybe spells. Also,
(26:49):
their GM, Terry Fontneau, was fined fifty grand.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So that means Fine is going to get a fifty
thousand dollars bonus to offset that, right now?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That would be it would be nice. I don't know
you ever been fined fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
No, I'd like to have enough money to be fine,
fifty thousand dollars. That would be great if I made
enough where they felt that was reasonable. But Eddie, it's
time for us to have some fun. So let's do
that fun fact. Oh well, this is not going to happen.
But as my job is to inform you, I guess
I don't know. It's probably more to entertain than informed.
But here's the here's the fun fact of the hour.
(27:23):
So we are on the cusp of a very dark
period in American sport.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
We are in North American sport.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Because unless the Edmonton Oilers get off the schneide and
come back and win at least a game, or the
Dallas mav Rex win a game tonight against the Celtics,
that means that both the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals
will have ended in a suite.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Has that ever happened before?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Oh? I'm interested to know that is. Has that ever
happened before?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It has? How many times do you think GE's happened?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Addie, I'll say three times?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I guess a seven seven. No Coopy went in on this.
You want in on the action here, Coop No. Twelve twewelve. Wow,
that's a lot I mean, no, it's happened two times.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I was closed.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You were the closest. Last time it happened was way back.
I was. I was like a toddler, Eddy.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Nineteen ninety five, the Rockets swept the Orlando Magic with
Shaquille O'Neil. If I remember correctly, that was Nick Anderson.
I watched YouTube videos. He missed some foul shots, if
I remember, I think that was was that that serious?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Maybe it was not that serious.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Devil's over the Red Wings in a sweep in ninety five.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
And then the other time it happened.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Was nineteen eighty three where the seventy six ers and
Moses will remember what Moses Malone said that year for
the Sixers, Eddie, when they won on that championship run
it beat the Lakers, he said, fall fall full as
they swept every series, and then the New York Islanders.
The Islanders swept the Edmonton Oilers as well. So it's
(28:54):
only happened a couple of times, ninety five and eighty three,
and unless something wacky happens here and it will happen
in hockey, so you don't need to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
But it has happened twice.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello, here's
a blast in the past. I knew this guy would
call up this week, especially if the Rangers won two
or three. We say hello to Ed in Arlington. Hello,
Ed in Arlington, Welcome, hey Ben, congratulations Ed. It's another
championship for the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And win the series at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yeah, I was keep it a low profile after that
first game. I thought, we'll have this, this one's this
one's out out the window. Maybe the Rangers season is too,
but nice comebacks there. They still can't hit worth of damn,
but they made it a good job of it there
at Dogtadium.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The Dodgers haven't exactly hit well the last couple of
games year. Listen in uh driving in runs That has
not happened.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
No, And they even had misster Otani in the lineup tonight,
unlike the Rangers, who were without their MVP, Corey Seger.
Didn't hurt them too much tonight. No, he's about He's
one of the few Rangers that can hit right now.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
And the great thing about this is, and you know
this from last year, Ed, when the Rangers were not
they didn't dominate. They had issues mid season, right they sure, well,
I got plenty of time to go, plenty of time.
You're mediocre right now, you still got months and months
to flip the switch and get to the World Series.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely. Last year it was their bullpend. It
was crapping out on them every other game, and they
probably lost twenty games if they should have won if
they just had a decent bullpend. This year, their bullpen's terrific.
And now it's their hitters. All of a sudden, they
can't hit. That's what the Rangers have been known for
and past twenty five years is their ability to hit,
(30:43):
and not this year.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well that's a problem because you've got guys that are
locked up in contracts and it's hard to replace those guys, right,
I mean, some of them are hurt, but you can't
change the entire roster over offens. So you can add
one or two players, but you're not going to change
four or five players in the lineup.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So they either hate or they are screwed, basically.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
So exactly, it's weird. They talk of bringing Pete Alonso
to town, but I don't know he think he's kinda
crept out to just be another see that.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Well, but you want that guy, he wants the contract
if he's surrounded by in theory, better players in Texas
and the better lineup, and he gets that bug the
chance to make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
The Mets aren't going to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I would take a shot at a Lonzo, But I
don't think he's gonna re sign with the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I don't. I would be surprised if what happened, but
I would trade for him. Why not.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Not gonna cost you too much and who cares? You're
in it to win it. These are the glory days
of the Texas Rangers. ED in Arlington, you're the reigning champions.
You gotta try to go back to back.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
You have to exactly. I thought they were fading fast there,
but now I'm not so sure. Yeah, if they could
get him for you know, pocket chains, then yeah, why
not take a flyer on him. I wouldn't give up
too much to get him, but he's at the rental.
But yeah, that's a worth shot.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right. Well, thank you. Don't be a stranger, Ed,
don't be a stranger.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Yeah, well I won't as long as they don't embarrass
me like they did all right, well, hey, I.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Gotta be here when my team's embarrassed me. I have
to be here, Okay, I mean I can't hide. I
gotta be in front of the stupid microphone, that dumb
on air light. I gotta come in here, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Hanging there, Thank you?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Ed?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
All right, go away? All right, there's Edy edit Arington.
Speaker 2 (32:27):

and I'm gonna give you more time to answer it
right now.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Score as zero goal scored so far this season, only
ten players since records back in nineteen sixty took more
shots in the first three games of a Cup final
without scoring a goal. But I hold the record for
the most shots with zero goals. Who am I over
