The Big Shrimp, Well come.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
In begin it of another night of the Benmahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
We are in the air everywhere, having a slugfest as.

(01:31):
have gone into the darkness. The wilderness of the late night.
Here our 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 3 (01:43):
Deal or no deal. We gotta deal, we gotta deal.
Money it's good enough.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
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 3 (02:10):
So here we are. I know you're very excited. You
want to hear this rant.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
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,
(02:35):
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
(02:57):
then he'll get a bunch of the other money as
well right away. So the deals starts arts 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?
(03:24):
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 on that.
(03:46):
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.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
The early results of showing there's a lot of glitches.
There's thing of a jigs that are not going right.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Here.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
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 3 (04:11):
A line cook. Now you need line cooks.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
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, 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 per game.
(04:38):
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 he
get paid? I'm gonna tell you, And I'm never wrong
(05:02):
about these things. When I give it a take, I'm
never wrong. 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
(05:25):
second rate. The guy doesn't deserve the contract. I know,
we're in a time where everyone's getting paid. You get paid,
you get paid, you get it's great, wonderful, what of all.
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.
(05:48):
And it's the NFL's answer to the New Orleans pro
bouncy ball team paying that fat ass Zion Williamson when
he got the big contract. And it goes back to
its roots and at the.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Core, it's fomo.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's fear of missing out, 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.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
There's also no way he's earned the money. Even his
parents would say he hasn't earned the money.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
All right now, page two, speaking of unhappiness, unhappiness around
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Alvin Kamara dateline No Orleans. He is wrangling with.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
These Saints over his contract, skipped out on some workouts.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
How does this? How does this one play out?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
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
(07:05):
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 to
demand more doaux for a middling Saints team. So if
(07:26):
you look at the Saints and the long term forecast,
long term forecast, my advice, I would advise the Saints
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 in real life,
(07:47):
but we all know if you read the fine print
when it comes to running backs, he's getting real close
to the use by date, real close. Not the purchase date,
the use by date. 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.
So let's call it Cowboys up. Cowboys don't have a
(08:07):
running back? 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?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Alvin Kamara? Come on, New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
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 3 (08:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
The Saints can miss the playoffs with Alvin Kamara or
without Alvin Kamara. And he's a running back and running
backs are replaceable. They can win about eight or nine games,
be somewhere in that seven eight to nine win territory
without him.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So if he's complaining, if he's not happy, get out
of here.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
All right, 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, former Browns quarterback.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
He calls the last Star.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
You probably don't know who that is if you only
listen to the beginning show one of our whackpack callers
from Ohio. So, former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar news came
out this week.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We knew he had lost his job as the conduit.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
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
(09:41):
all that up at least what he claims set up
and alleging that they forced him to make that ceremonial bet.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So how much does Cozar want?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
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.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The eighties, Cozar suing over.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The bet that he made ceremonial bet got him fired
by the Browns.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Does he have a case?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm gonna preface this by saying I am not a lawyer,
but I did stay at a holiday in Express recently.
So here's my take on this. You can sue almost
anyone for almost anything. We all know that it's the
American way.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Sue, sue, sue, sue, sue.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
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 Carzar does not have a
winnable case. He signed a bad deal. Who goofed I've
got to know methinks Cozar's advisors based on what I
have been able to access on the interweb.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is elementary, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And as they 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
(11:21):
will end up screwing you over with a contract and
having you do something.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You should do it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Of course, I should have known not not to do it,
and somebody in his inner circle messed up.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
They dropped the bag. And as we know, ignorance is
not an excuse, and someone.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Should have told him he should have known better, but
apparently that did not happen.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day

Speaker 3 (11:59):
We have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, you blubber list jamen me.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want 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 3 (12:35):
Well, if you don't get enough.

but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with Cavino and
Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Got it all figured out, all of it well.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show, we.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Using pitchforks as we have all the fixings coast to coast,
border the.
Speaker 3 (13:16):

Speaker 1 (13:19):

We're broadcasting live from the ti Raq dot com studios.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's been about ten thousand days since JJ in Renton
called the show tire rack dot com the way tire
buying should should be. So I leave this hour from
pro Bouncy Ball and this is the part of the
show where we would break down the excitement of Game
number four of the NBA Finals, But that would be
(14:04):
wrong because there is none. The finals are a dud.
The basketball Finals suck. Dallas is a fraudulent franchise. They're
a week number five seed. They're playing like it. But
there is a story bubbling up around the games, the
story within the story, which is much more compelling, much
more interesting than talking more about a series which is lopsided. Now,
(14:26):
this involves a popular opinion by popular people on who
is responsible for the Celtics knocking on the door. They're
knocking right there for a banner. So you might have
seen this, but maybe not, maybe you missed it. You
think it's you think it's Jalen Brown, you think it's
Jason Tatum.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Who do you think it is?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well, the question was post by Sixer center Joel Ebiid,
and then the question was answered by Warriors big mouth
Draymond Green, the podcaster, and they we are in cahoots here,
believing that the Milwaukee Bucks are responsible for Boston being
on the brink of winning a title, getting rid of
(15:10):
guard Drew Holliday, who ended up in the Dame Lillard
trade and then eventually ends up in the Commonwealth in
Massachusetts there and he was the missing link. Of course,
before the finals started, we were told Chris tops Porzingis
was the missing link, but now it's Drue Holiday. Now
Embiid posed the question. Green took the bait, took a
(15:33):
bite out of it, started chewing on it and said
that of Milwaukee, they did give the Celtics the championship.
Joel Embiid knew the answer, Draymond, the podcaster said, and
absolutely correct. It did give them a championship. He staid,
in Boston has done the job of putting it together.
(15:55):
Got to give those guys credit. Blah blah blah blah blah. Right,
So let us discuss the question, Draymond, It certainly seems
like Joel Embiid, they agree that the Bucks they're in
kahoots here, the Bucks trading away Drew Holliday and him
ending up eventually with the Celtics gifted in air quotes,
gifted Boston the championship, which they have yet to officially
(16:16):
officially wrap up and put the lock on that.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
But which way are you leaning on this? One? Which
way are you leaning on this?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Are you in agreement with Draymond Green and in agreement
with Joel Embiid or not?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I've got Manifesto, Truffles and Wrestling Superstar, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to reach an understanding.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Is what we're going to reach now.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
First of all, Draymond Green and Joel and bed are
player Hayton is what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And I don't agree with their take. And I'll tell
you why. A Holiday who has been marvelous.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He's been a chef's kiss for the Celtics in these
NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
But I'm gonna quote guy that used to call the
show and then was banned for life. Real talk. I'm
gonna give you some real talk. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
These guys, Draymond and Joelle emb just generically generically gave
credit to the Milwaukee Bucks. But it's a misguided take.
And these are amateurs. They're not tech expert, all right,
and they're not they're not experts at the hot take
and all that. So they just didn't have the basket
(17:27):
balls to direct the missile at the right location.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
The Bucks would make the Dame Liverard Drew Holiday trade
one hundred out of one hundred times. Now, why would
they do that? They helped the Celtics win the championship.
They explained this to I'm gonna explain it to you
like you're five years old, okay. In their inbox, the
Milwaukee Bucks ownership in front office received a passive aggressive
(17:54):
manifesto from Giannis Adenta Koba. You remember, because I remember
we talked about it. It was a ransom note. He
was starting to squirm, just like every other star that's
not in La or Miami's starting to squirm a little bit,
demanding reinforcements, sending.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Signals that he was gonna leave.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Milwaukee needed a second star, and so the Milwaukee front
office said, Okay, let's get a partnership, consummated and they
made the trade. And Dame Lillard is a better player
than Drew Holliday. He was a better player when the
trade happened. He's still a better player. It's the Blazers, though,
who ultimately flipped Drew Holliday to Boston. And so it's
(18:42):
the Portland Trailblazers, who aren't relevant at all, but they're
the team that screwed over the Miami Heat.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Because remember, Dame Lillard wanted to go to Miami, the.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Dame train, and then they gave the double whammy because
Drew Holliday wanted to play for the Clipper. He was
He's from LA. He's an LA guy. He's from Studio City.
Went to high school in Studio City, went to the
same high school as the the Olsen Twins back in
the day. But but anyway, that's aside the point. So
Drew Holliday is a guy wanted to play for the
(19:14):
Clipping or the Lakers, the Evil Lakers. But the Blazer's like,
we don't want to send him to a team in
the West. So they traded him to Boston and then
the Celtics paid him and that's how it went down.
But it was because Jannis wanted Dame Lillard. That's why
the trade happened. And the ownership would not trade Dame
Lillard too in Portland, would not trade him down Miami Way.
(19:36):
They kept him on the Oregon Trail and send him
out to Wisconsin. All right now, Secondly to Tinseltown, it's happening.
It is happening this weekend, Father's Day week at JJ Reddick.
JJ Reddick is going to officially interview for the Laker
head coaching job this weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
How do you expect this to go?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
That's also a sign that the ABC ex executives are
convinced that the Celtics are going to win that game tonight.
Otherwise Reddick would have to be preparing for Game five
of the NBA Finals, But instead it's gonna be a
sweep and Reddik will be free to roam around the
country and interview for the Laker job.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
So how do you expect this Laker interview to go? So?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
JJ Reddick was and continues to be driving the pace car.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
He's in the pace car.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He is Lebron's audio alter ego. He's the one when
Lebron needs his toes licked, he turns to JJ Reddick,
and so Genie Buss and skinny jeans, Rob Polenka and
JJ will sit together at some high end restaurant, eating
lobster caviar and enjoying many plates of truffles, and they'll
(20:46):
polish off some expensive wine. They'll finish the night with
a nice, rich chocolate cake, and then they'll consummate the relationship.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
But from a show I saw this, this, I thought it
was a good one. From from showtime to woe time.
In Lakerland, JJ Reddick and so many ways.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Is perfect for the Lakers. He's got no experience, he's unqualified,
and yet he's the perfect guy because he's a narcissist
and nepotism. He's getting preferred treatment because he's the chosen
one by Lebron, James and the Lakers are down wind
from a purple and gold toxic vapor named JJ Reddick.
(21:27):
That's what's going on there all right now, final fight,
staying with the theme, because why not, We'll stay with
the theme. So Dan Hurley did an interview with a
podcaster on Thursday and said that his decision to reject
a six year, seventy million dollars offer to coach the
(21:49):
Lakers was not a quote leverage play, he said, because
he already.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Agreed the terms on a new contract with you Kahn.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And he also said that the people who are peddling
that hot take, he said, it's one of the worst
takes he's heard, is what he said.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Okay, So he doesn't like to take. He's anti take.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So Dan Hurley denying the Lakers interest was just a
leverage play. That was the money quote, saying one of
the dumbest takes?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Okay? Is that how you see this one?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
No, no, I don't think of the scenarios here. Scenarios
are If Dan Hurley wanted the Laker job, he knew
what the offer was before he got on the birdie
and flew to the West coast, So.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Why didn't he take the job. Explain that to me.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And if he didn't want the job, why did he
waste the most valuable resource he has, his time?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Why did he bother flying out there?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Unless unless he was actually channeling an old school wrestler
from back in the day, a wrestling superstar, you might
have to google him because he's been dead for a while,
Big Boss Man, and Dan Hurley is like the Big
Boss Man. He rejected a duffel bag, a literal duffel
bag filled with cash like the Mob, and he had
(23:14):
could live in Hollywood, which sounds better than it is,
and get extra clout from Yukon. He turned that job
down to get extra clout from Yukon. They look more bougie.
That more bougie. And he has another recruiting advantage because
he can say I'm the guy that told the Lakers
(23:34):
to go pound saying I'm the guy I said I
don't want to coach Lebron James, that's me and I'm
a college coach, when really he said no because it
is a dysfunctional franchise with poor ownership and a prima donna.
Who's really coaching the Lakers even though he's not got
the title in Lebron Jane.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at to a eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Here we go, Here, we go, Here, we got three.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
But the third degree Guns and Bulls is one gets
qrilled man the whop all loop with the reading of
the questions but without actually reading we hope.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Derrick Henry recently told reporters that he is happy that
he doesn't have to be the center of attention anymore
because Lamar Jackson is so dangerous in the run game.
Ben Jackson has led the team the Ravens and rushing
for the past five seasons. Will that change this year?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I don't think it will change because the way the
Ravens play, and Henry is an older player now. He
started showing signs of cracking in Tennessee last year. He
still had a good volume of statistics, but there were
some signs that he's starting to have the slow decline there.
He's still built like a Donnis Derrick Henry. But the
(24:54):
way the Ravens play, even though Lamar Jackson is doing
his own thing and he's willing to leave seven hundred
fifty thousand dollars in bonus money on the table. If
you gave me one thousand dollars of funny money, I
would bet on Lamar Jackson leading the Ravens in rushing
yet again, because it is more likely than not that
Derrick Henry, who's in unfamiliar territory in Baltimore, will end
(25:17):
up getting hurt at some point, because that's what Raven
running backs do next.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Fernando Tattis Junior was a budding superstar before a lengthy
suspension and an injury put that all on hold, like
I'm gonna put this phone call. After a down year
last season, Tatisa seemed to regain his form.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It's on it.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
He had a bit of a hitt mystry going on.
Uh Ben, do you think he will return to superstar status?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I do not, because he has this thing called dragon
breath whop. He's got the cooties from the suspension that
he got caught cheating, and don't I think he'll be okay.
But I don't think he's gonna ever get the stature
he was. At one point, the rising star was.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Him and Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Remember I remember that, And now it's Aaron Judge, and
you know you pick your other player, but it's not
Bernando tatisju and and Plus the Padres are.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Pretty much a middling team at this point.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
So to sum this up, I think he'll be fine,
his numbers will be okay, but he got the bag anyway,
he got paid, and if he ends up being a
second Banana or whatever in San Diego, a tertiary figure
with the Padres, whatever, he got paid forever, like fifteen.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Years or fourteen years, whatever is next.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Anthony Richardson, quarterback for the Colts, recently told a reporter
that playing in the NFL is easier than college because
your teammates aren't as confident in college. Ben, can you
make sense of Anthony Richardson's comments?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yes, this will come back to haunt him.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Every incomplete pass, every bad game he has, It'll be
splashed on the.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Social media pages and peels it. You see, it's not
that easy. We're gonna burst your bubble.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You're gonna of course, the way Richardson's going, he says
he's not gonna change the way that he plays Coop.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
That was his big statement here, which.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Is fine, But the way he plays means he's going
to be hurt by week seven or eight, and if
he gets hurt in week seven or eight for the Colts,
he's actually making progress. He's a physically gifted player, but
he's not long for the NFL the way things are going.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
And then people say, no, here's a guy that said
who was easier.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
It's not easier? All right, there it is mallor to
the third degree.

Here our 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 3 (01:43):
Deal or no deal. We gotta deal, we gotta deal.
Money it's good enough.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
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 3 (02:10):
So here we are. I know you're very excited. You
want to hear this rant.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
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,
(02:35):
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
(02:57):
then he'll get a bunch of the other money as
well right away. So the deals starts arts 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?
(03:24):
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 on that.
(03:46):
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.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
The early results of showing there's a lot of glitches.
There's thing of a jigs that are not going right.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Here.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
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 3 (04:11):
A line cook. Now you need line cooks.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
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, 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 per game.
(04:38):
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 he
get paid? I'm gonna tell you, And I'm never wrong
(05:02):
about these things. When I give it a take, I'm
never wrong. 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
(05:25):
second rate. The guy doesn't deserve the contract. I know,
we're in a time where everyone's getting paid. You get paid,
you get paid, you get it's great, wonderful, what of all.
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.
(05:48):
And it's the NFL's answer to the New Orleans pro
bouncy ball team paying that fat ass Zion Williamson when
he got the big contract. And it goes back to
its roots and at the.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Core, it's fomo.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's fear of missing out, 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.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
There's also no way he's earned the money. Even his
parents would say he hasn't earned the money.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
All right now, page two, speaking of unhappiness, unhappiness around
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Alvin Kamara dateline No Orleans. He is wrangling with.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
These Saints over his contract, skipped out on some workouts.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
How does this? How does this one play out?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
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
(07:05):
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 to
demand more doaux for a middling Saints team. So if
(07:26):
you look at the Saints and the long term forecast,
long term forecast, my advice, I would advise the Saints
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 in real life,
(07:47):
but we all know if you read the fine print
when it comes to running backs, he's getting real close
to the use by date, real close. Not the purchase date,
the use by date. 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.
So let's call it Cowboys up. Cowboys don't have a
(08:07):
running back? 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?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Alvin Kamara? Come on, New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
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 3 (08:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
The Saints can miss the playoffs with Alvin Kamara or
without Alvin Kamara. And he's a running back and running
backs are replaceable. They can win about eight or nine games,
be somewhere in that seven eight to nine win territory
without him.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So if he's complaining, if he's not happy, get out
of here.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
All right, 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, former Browns quarterback.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
He calls the last Star.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
You probably don't know who that is if you only
listen to the beginning show one of our whackpack callers
from Ohio. So, former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar news came
out this week.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We knew he had lost his job as the conduit.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
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
(09:41):
all that up at least what he claims set up
and alleging that they forced him to make that ceremonial bet.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So how much does Cozar want?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
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.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The eighties, Cozar suing over.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The bet that he made ceremonial bet got him fired
by the Browns.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Does he have a case?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm gonna preface this by saying I am not a lawyer,
but I did stay at a holiday in Express recently.
So here's my take on this. You can sue almost
anyone for almost anything. We all know that it's the
American way.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Sue, sue, sue, sue, sue.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
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 Carzar does not have a
winnable case. He signed a bad deal. Who goofed I've
got to know methinks Cozar's advisors based on what I
have been able to access on the interweb.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is elementary, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And as they 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
(11:21):
will end up screwing you over with a contract and
having you do something.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You should do it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Of course, I should have known not not to do it,
and somebody in his inner circle messed up.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
They dropped the bag. And as we know, ignorance is
not an excuse, and someone.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Should have told him he should have known better, but
apparently that did not happen.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, you blubber list jamen me.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show, we.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:10):

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's been about ten thousand days since JJ in Renton
called the show tire rack dot com the way tire
buying should should be. So I leave this hour from
pro Bouncy Ball and this is the part of the
show where we would break down the excitement of Game
number four of the NBA Finals, But that would be
(14:04):
wrong because there is none. The finals are a dud.
The basketball Finals suck. Dallas is a fraudulent franchise. They're
a week number five seed. They're playing like it. But
there is a story bubbling up around the games, the
story within the story, which is much more compelling, much
more interesting than talking more about a series which is lopsided. Now,
(14:26):
this involves a popular opinion by popular people on who
is responsible for the Celtics knocking on the door. They're
knocking right there for a banner. So you might have
seen this, but maybe not, maybe you missed it. You
think it's you think it's Jalen Brown, you think it's
Jason Tatum.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Who do you think it is?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well, the question was post by Sixer center Joel Ebiid,
and then the question was answered by Warriors big mouth
Draymond Green, the podcaster, and they we are in cahoots here,
believing that the Milwaukee Bucks are responsible for Boston being
on the brink of winning a title, getting rid of
(15:10):
guard Drew Holliday, who ended up in the Dame Lillard
trade and then eventually ends up in the Commonwealth in
Massachusetts there and he was the missing link. Of course,
before the finals started, we were told Chris tops Porzingis
was the missing link, but now it's Drue Holiday. Now
Embiid posed the question. Green took the bait, took a
(15:33):
bite out of it, started chewing on it and said
that of Milwaukee, they did give the Celtics the championship.
Joel Embiid knew the answer, Draymond, the podcaster said, and
absolutely correct. It did give them a championship. He staid,
in Boston has done the job of putting it together.
(15:55):
Got to give those guys credit. Blah blah blah blah blah. Right,
So let us discuss the question, Draymond, It certainly seems
like Joel Embiid, they agree that the Bucks they're in
kahoots here, the Bucks trading away Drew Holliday and him
ending up eventually with the Celtics gifted in air quotes,
gifted Boston the championship, which they have yet to officially
(16:16):
officially wrap up and put the lock on that.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
But which way are you leaning on this? One? Which
way are you leaning on this?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Are you in agreement with Draymond Green and in agreement
with Joel Embiid or not?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I've got Manifesto, Truffles and Wrestling Superstar, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to reach an understanding.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Is what we're going to reach now.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
First of all, Draymond Green and Joel and bed are
player Hayton is what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And I don't agree with their take. And I'll tell
you why. A Holiday who has been marvelous.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He's been a chef's kiss for the Celtics in these
NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
But I'm gonna quote guy that used to call the
show and then was banned for life. Real talk. I'm
gonna give you some real talk. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
These guys, Draymond and Joelle emb just generically generically gave
credit to the Milwaukee Bucks. But it's a misguided take.
And these are amateurs. They're not tech expert, all right,
and they're not they're not experts at the hot take
and all that. So they just didn't have the basket
(17:27):
balls to direct the missile at the right location.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
The Bucks would make the Dame Liverard Drew Holiday trade
one hundred out of one hundred times. Now, why would
they do that? They helped the Celtics win the championship.
They explained this to I'm gonna explain it to you
like you're five years old, okay. In their inbox, the
Milwaukee Bucks ownership in front office received a passive aggressive
(17:54):
manifesto from Giannis Adenta Koba. You remember, because I remember
we talked about it. It was a ransom note. He
was starting to squirm, just like every other star that's
not in La or Miami's starting to squirm a little bit,
demanding reinforcements, sending.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Signals that he was gonna leave.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Milwaukee needed a second star, and so the Milwaukee front
office said, Okay, let's get a partnership, consummated and they
made the trade. And Dame Lillard is a better player
than Drew Holliday. He was a better player when the
trade happened. He's still a better player. It's the Blazers, though,
who ultimately flipped Drew Holliday to Boston. And so it's
(18:42):
the Portland Trailblazers, who aren't relevant at all, but they're
the team that screwed over the Miami Heat.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Because remember, Dame Lillard wanted to go to Miami, the.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Dame train, and then they gave the double whammy because
Drew Holliday wanted to play for the Clipper. He was
He's from LA. He's an LA guy. He's from Studio City.
Went to high school in Studio City, went to the
same high school as the the Olsen Twins back in
the day. But but anyway, that's aside the point. So
Drew Holliday is a guy wanted to play for the
(19:14):
Clipping or the Lakers, the Evil Lakers. But the Blazer's like,
we don't want to send him to a team in
the West. So they traded him to Boston and then
the Celtics paid him and that's how it went down.
But it was because Jannis wanted Dame Lillard. That's why
the trade happened. And the ownership would not trade Dame
Lillard too in Portland, would not trade him down Miami Way.
(19:36):
They kept him on the Oregon Trail and send him
out to Wisconsin. All right now, Secondly to Tinseltown, it's happening.
It is happening this weekend, Father's Day week at JJ Reddick.
JJ Reddick is going to officially interview for the Laker
head coaching job this weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
How do you expect this to go?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
That's also a sign that the ABC ex executives are
convinced that the Celtics are going to win that game tonight.
Otherwise Reddick would have to be preparing for Game five
of the NBA Finals, But instead it's gonna be a
sweep and Reddik will be free to roam around the
country and interview for the Laker job.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
So how do you expect this Laker interview to go? So?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
JJ Reddick was and continues to be driving the pace car.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
He's in the pace car.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He is Lebron's audio alter ego. He's the one when
Lebron needs his toes licked, he turns to JJ Reddick,
and so Genie Buss and skinny jeans, Rob Polenka and
JJ will sit together at some high end restaurant, eating
lobster caviar and enjoying many plates of truffles, and they'll
(20:46):
polish off some expensive wine. They'll finish the night with
a nice, rich chocolate cake, and then they'll consummate the relationship.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
But from a show I saw this, this, I thought it
was a good one. From from showtime to woe time.
In Lakerland, JJ Reddick and so many ways.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Is perfect for the Lakers. He's got no experience, he's unqualified,
and yet he's the perfect guy because he's a narcissist
and nepotism. He's getting preferred treatment because he's the chosen
one by Lebron, James and the Lakers are down wind
from a purple and gold toxic vapor named JJ Reddick.
(21:27):
That's what's going on there all right now, final fight,
staying with the theme, because why not, We'll stay with
the theme. So Dan Hurley did an interview with a
podcaster on Thursday and said that his decision to reject
a six year, seventy million dollars offer to coach the
(21:49):
Lakers was not a quote leverage play, he said, because
he already.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Agreed the terms on a new contract with you Kahn.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And he also said that the people who are peddling
that hot take, he said, it's one of the worst
takes he's heard, is what he said.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Okay, So he doesn't like to take. He's anti take.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So Dan Hurley denying the Lakers interest was just a
leverage play. That was the money quote, saying one of
the dumbest takes?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Okay? Is that how you see this one?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
No, no, I don't think of the scenarios here. Scenarios
are If Dan Hurley wanted the Laker job, he knew
what the offer was before he got on the birdie
and flew to the West coast, So.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Why didn't he take the job. Explain that to me.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And if he didn't want the job, why did he
waste the most valuable resource he has, his time?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Why did he bother flying out there?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Unless unless he was actually channeling an old school wrestler
from back in the day, a wrestling superstar, you might
have to google him because he's been dead for a while,
Big Boss Man, and Dan Hurley is like the Big
Boss Man. He rejected a duffel bag, a literal duffel
bag filled with cash like the Mob, and he had
(23:14):
could live in Hollywood, which sounds better than it is,
and get extra clout from Yukon. He turned that job
down to get extra clout from Yukon. They look more bougie.
That more bougie. And he has another recruiting advantage because
he can say I'm the guy that told the Lakers
(23:34):
to go pound saying I'm the guy I said I
don't want to coach Lebron James, that's me and I'm
a college coach, when really he said no because it
is a dysfunctional franchise with poor ownership and a prima donna.
Who's really coaching the Lakers even though he's not got
the title in Lebron Jane.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at to a eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Here we go, Here, we go, Here, we got three.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
But the third degree Guns and Bulls is one gets
qrilled man the whop all loop with the reading of
the questions but without actually reading we hope.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Derrick Henry recently told reporters that he is happy that
he doesn't have to be the center of attention anymore
because Lamar Jackson is so dangerous in the run game.
Ben Jackson has led the team the Ravens and rushing
for the past five seasons. Will that change this year?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I don't think it will change because the way the
Ravens play, and Henry is an older player now. He
started showing signs of cracking in Tennessee last year. He
still had a good volume of statistics, but there were
some signs that he's starting to have the slow decline there.
He's still built like a Donnis Derrick Henry. But the
(24:54):
way the Ravens play, even though Lamar Jackson is doing
his own thing and he's willing to leave seven hundred
fifty thousand dollars in bonus money on the table. If
you gave me one thousand dollars of funny money, I
would bet on Lamar Jackson leading the Ravens in rushing
yet again, because it is more likely than not that
Derrick Henry, who's in unfamiliar territory in Baltimore, will end
(25:17):
up getting hurt at some point, because that's what Raven
running backs do next.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Fernando Tattis Junior was a budding superstar before a lengthy
suspension and an injury put that all on hold, like
I'm gonna put this phone call. After a down year
last season, Tatisa seemed to regain his form.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It's on it.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
He had a bit of a hitt mystry going on.
Uh Ben, do you think he will return to superstar status?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I do not, because he has this thing called dragon
breath whop. He's got the cooties from the suspension that
he got caught cheating, and don't I think he'll be okay.
But I don't think he's gonna ever get the stature
he was. At one point, the rising star was.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Him and Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Remember I remember that, And now it's Aaron Judge, and
you know you pick your other player, but it's not
Bernando tatisju and and Plus the Padres are.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Pretty much a middling team at this point.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
So to sum this up, I think he'll be fine,
his numbers will be okay, but he got the bag anyway,
he got paid, and if he ends up being a
second Banana or whatever in San Diego, a tertiary figure
with the Padres, whatever, he got paid forever, like fifteen.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Years or fourteen years, whatever is next.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Anthony Richardson, quarterback for the Colts, recently told a reporter
that playing in the NFL is easier than college because
your teammates aren't as confident in college. Ben, can you
make sense of Anthony Richardson's comments?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yes, this will come back to haunt him.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Every incomplete pass, every bad game he has, It'll be
splashed on the.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Social media pages and peels it. You see, it's not
that easy. We're gonna burst your bubble.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You're gonna of course, the way Richardson's going, he says
he's not gonna change the way that he plays Coop.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
That was his big statement here, which.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Is fine, But the way he plays means he's going
to be hurt by week seven or eight, and if
he gets hurt in week seven or eight for the Colts,
he's actually making progress. He's a physically gifted player, but
he's not long for the NFL the way things are going.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
And then people say, no, here's a guy that said
who was easier.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
It's not easier? All right, there it is mallor to
the third degree.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
How did we do? Ben?
Speaker 5 (27:26):

Speaker 3 (27:27):
