Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dumberfall of the original Recipe podcast.
Tell a friend, spread the word, don't forget the fifth
Hour podcast this weekend. But here on this Thursday, it
is our number four. We go back to the well
one more time. Football. Bill Belichick is said to be

(00:21):
fully invested in coaching again in twenty twenty five. He's
currently fully invested with something else, if you know what
I'm saying. But what are the odds? What are the
odds he gets a chance? What are the odds that
Belichick does get a job coaching in the NFL next season. Also,
an anonymous NFL scout says wide receiver Stefan Diggs has
declined a little. His vertical speed tapered off, going as

(00:44):
far as to question Digs fit with CJ. Stroud's Texans.
Are you surprised by this criticism? We'll go there as well. Also,
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs want to have more fun
during the upcome NFL season. What do you make of that?
What does that mean? In real terminology? You want to

(01:06):
have more fun? We'll make the big leap right now here.
It is make way for our number four. Have a
wonderful Thursday. It's good to be back. Here is our
number four? Not done yet? Well maybe well come in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show,

(01:31):
we are in.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
The air eywhere partners in crime, as they say, there's
no rest for the wicked Coast to coast, border, the
border and beyond on the best and verbally powerful microphones
of fs are ammating live from the court, the Kangaroo.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Court of the overnight. We're broadcasting live from the tyrack
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you. You'll
get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Tyro
rack dot com the way tire buying should be. The
King Rory impressed by that number ten thousand. So our

(02:16):
lead this hour we go back to the well again
in the National Football League. Some stories that caught my attention,
and we'll start out with this. The coaching carousel, the
Pigskin edition. The Bill's do or is he due now?
The coaching carousel? He said, well, there's no coaching carousel.

(02:37):
All the coaches have been hired and all that stuff.
And you're right, you're not wrong on that. It's dormant
right now. But Bill Belichick, Bill Belichick, late of the Patriots,
is said to be plotting his return to the sidelines
after a year away, a year of hiatus. Now, if
you hadn't been following along, you might have seen a

(02:59):
lot of Bill Bellie checking the tabloids, but maybe you
missed the football part of it. State run NFL Media
telling us that Bill Belichick is quote fully invested in
coach in twenty twenty five in the NFL, and he
is staying engaged in the game. So I want to

(03:19):
talk about all this, the question Bill Belichick, that report
from the NFL media arm, the report saying Belichick is
fully invested in coaching again in twenty twenty five, and
that's the story. What are the odds that he gets
that opportunity? What are the odds he gets to that chance?
So I've got hob goblin, ibuprofen, and homemade ice cream,

(03:47):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to run for the hills, is what
we're going to do. Now. To kickoff, the Malor sportsbook
odds Mallard sportsbook gods at is one ninety. That's what
I have minus one ninety for Belichick to coach another
NFL game in the regular season. Now, that implies a

(04:09):
sixty five percent chance, but also a forty five percent
chance it does not happen. And we can go higher
than that if you want. I mean, we can go
as far as the odds against it. I can't go
higher than a sixty five percent chance that it happens.
I can go the other way. And here's why Belichick,

(04:29):
at age seventy two, is an acquired taste. At least
he appears to be young at heart. I know that
his girlfriend is young at heart because she's really young, right,
not a gold digger at all. But either way, for
the time being, Bill Belichick, when he's not hanging out

(04:50):
with his lady friend or his young lady friend, Bill
Belichick will be working as a hob goblin, right, lurking
in the shadows. And Belichick, he's got two NFL jobs
lined up. He's got an inside the NFL. That show
is still around, nobody watches it anymore, it's still around.
It's on the CW. So he's gonna be on that
and then he's gonna futz around and play grab ass

(05:13):
with Peyton Manning on Omaha productions and some I don't
know what that I used to have Monday night football
stuff this upcoming season. So he's just laying around waiting,
you know, hanging out, riding his boat around New England.
He's like, I'll just wait for the right gig to
open up. But what is the right gig now? The
popular pick by popular People says that Belichick's just waiting

(05:35):
for the cowboy job to open up, or the Giants,
or the Jets or even the Bills. Wouldn't that be
an amazing story. The Bills go out there and suck
this year and Belichick steps in. But how about a wildcard?
You're playing the Bill Belichick speculation machine. Let's go outside
the comfort zone. Outside the comfort zone. How about the

(05:57):
Cincinnati ben Gals as a wild card team? All right,
bear with me, right, Joe Burrow back healthy this year,
Jamar Chase the go to wide receiver. That is a
team if you look around the NFL, that is a
consistent contender because of Joe Burrow. And they just need

(06:18):
to smooth out the rough parts is what they need
to do. But the Bengals are a Hamburger Helper like setup.
Some people said the Philadelphia Eagles. There are questions about
Jalen Hurts, how good Jalen Hurts actually is, has he
been exposed? There are very few questions about Joe Burrow.
The problem is obvious, right, It sticks out like a

(06:39):
sore thumb is ownership. The ben Gals are a franchise
that is comprised of old family money or go Tightwads
Penny Pitchers. So there is any parallel to mission where
the Bengals realize they have enough money, they can do this,
They can make the numbers work and they can go

(07:00):
that direction. Now do I think that's gonna happen. No,
But if I was involved, I'd be like, Yeah, if
I was involved with the Cincinnati football team, I would
absolutely have that in the back of my head saying, well,
things don't work out this year. We're still in that window,
the golden period for Joe Burrow, and why not all right?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Now?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Furthermore, we stay in the NFL world, we go to Houston,
and Houston, we have a problem. The Anonymous NFL Scout,
a staple of July Sports Radio. The Anonymous NFL scout
has gone on record as saying, without saying his name,
of course, that wide receiver Stefawn Digs a punching bag

(07:44):
on this show that Stefon Diggs has declined a little
and his vertical speed has tapered off. This is the
big pickup in Houston this offseason. The anonymous NFL scout
going as far as the question Stefon Digg's impact and
the fit with c. J. Stroud's Texans. Are you surprised

(08:09):
by any of this? Are you surprised?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Me?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Is so?

Speaker 4 (08:12):
I am not.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I don't know why you would be. Stefan Diggs has
the unmistakable telltale signs of a player on the brink
of an implosion. Now what is my evidence? My evidence? Well,
his performance is the obvious thing, right the Bills watching
Stefan Diggs go from an elite wide receiver to a

(08:36):
debacle in keem almost now the final ten games of
the regular season, he was useless. And then when somebody's
gonna turn things on in the playoffs and the biggest moments,
Stefan Diggs will gonna is gonna be there, He's gonna
be dependable. When then Buffalo needed Stefan Diggs, he curled up,
face down in a fetal like position, sucking his thumb

(09:01):
he was a decoy, but not even a good decoy
the final ten games of the regular season. Stefan Diggs
in the playoffs in twenty twenty three, in the playoffs
Divisional round against the Bengals, when Buffalo they choked at home,
Diggs publicly ripped Josh Allen. In that episode of I Remember,
he assaultd and left the stadium before the coaches were

(09:23):
even back in the locker room. He just took off.
And then in twenty twenty four, you might remember he
dropped a very important pass in the playoff loss to
Kansas City. And Stefan Diggs is thirty one. Thirty one
is not old. He turns thirty one in November, so
he's almost thirty one during the NFL season. He turns
thirty one in past the use by date in the

(09:45):
NFL and the other issue here, and there's no way
around this. In Minnesota and in Buffalo, he was an
IBU Profen player, a pharmacy grade IBU Profen player. Now
what does that mean. That means that when the production
is there, he's great. When he's having success, the team's winning,
he's fine. But when something goes haywire, then all of

(10:08):
a sudden, there is a wildfire. When the production outweighs
the aggregation with the annoyance, the nuisance, you keep it
right at the Buffalo Bills did a ven diagram. They
determined that the production did not outweigh the aggravation. So
when that happens, when the aggravation outweighs the production, you

(10:29):
get rid of the player. That's what Buffalo did, That's
what Minnesota did, and that is why this is risky
business for Houston at this point. With you look at
all the numbers and all the available information. Stefan Diggs
is a show pony. He's a show pony. He's got
that crab mentality when things go bad. He's not a

(10:54):
Foxhole player. See we're in the fox box. He's not
a fox Hole player.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
All right.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Last thing, I've been asked by several of you knuckleheads
to comment on the story that has gone around the
last couple days from Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes showed up to
the training camp in Kansas City. He said recently that
the Chiefs want to have more fun that the plan.
This has been the talking point coming out of Chiefs camp.

(11:19):
They want to have more fun during the season. Okay,
So what do you make of this plea for the
F word in Kansas City? So this is what's known
as the N word, not the F word, the N
word nitpicking at its finest. My super secret Dakota Ring

(11:39):
tells me that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are at
the confectionery looking for some homemade ice cream and they're like, Oh,
I'm at the ice cream shop here, homemade ice cream
shop right there. And it's like, all right, I want
that slow churned vanilla or rainbow sh That's what I want.

(12:02):
Rather than the icy, rocky road filled with all those
pecans and the marshmallows and all that. I don't want that.
I don't want that. I want this smooth, slowly churned
Banellabean ice cream Sherbet ice cream. That's what I want.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Booooo.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
You talk about first world problems and the Chiefs they
think they've loaded up. Rashie Rice likely will be gone
for a long time, suspended. But the Kansas City football
team added Xavier Worthy. Is he Worthy the speed demon
who they traded to get in the draft, the rookie
out of Texas and Hollywood Brown. So they've got a

(12:40):
need for speed and they picked up two of the
fastest players they can get their hands on the thrifty
goodness of Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy. And we say
though that for our purposes, a few potholes make for
a better story, just a better story all the way around.

any of the people I told him to contact before
he went to jail again, as Miami cracking down on
homeless people like weed Man, so he has nowhere to
go because he can't He used to sleep on Lincoln Road,
but I guess they shut down that and so he
has to charge his phone. He can't go there.

call some of these people that you set him up
with and then got busted for. That's charging his phone,

they're evil people. I don't know what to tell you.
