Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Malor Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
US. The silence of the Lamb, at least for now.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Welcome in the beginning of a brand new week of
the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
light minded patrons, as we checked to use by date
here coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the vast and mighty powerful microphones of FSR moundating live

from the position the pole position. We're broadcasting live from

the Alien Opiner in Springfield, mass I think he sent
(01:23):
ten thousand fun facts. We've only used a couple of them,
but he keeps sitting them in tirack dot com the
way tire buying should be in ear lead this hour,
play the hits, mop Man, play the hits. We'll start
with the NFL. I could wax poet about the Dodger
sweeping the Red Sox binan can do.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'll do that later.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So our league coming from Jerry's world in the NFL
and in the training camps getting going. Not everyone underway
yet this week, next couple days, big period of time.
So we have a high stakes poker situation going on
in Dallas. As you know, we go where the interesting
stories are that particular day. And so if you have
(02:05):
not heard the latest on this and perhaps not here,
we have learned the Cowboys, how about them Cowboys? The
Cowboys prioritizing CD Lamb, the wide receiver for a mega
mega mega contract extension, over Dakota Prescott.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
In a new deal.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Now both will be free agents after this upcoming season.
I know you're very concerned about that, the CD Lamb
extension conversation.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Bigger deal, bigger deal.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
We are told, according to the story bouncing around the
echo chamber. So this is what I want to talk
to you about the question with those whispers out there
that the wide receiver CD LAMB is priority number one.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Over Dak Prescott. How much weight does that have?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So I've got the wide world of sports, medicine, cabinet
and nautical wisdom, and we will combine all of these
things together.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And we are going to make apple pie. Why not?
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So to kick off here to answer the question about
ceedee lam not so fast, my friend, right? I mean,
as far as how much weight does it have? I
don't have any real weight on this. I'm hopeful there's
nothing to it. And here's why I have no horse
in the race.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But it would be nice. We talked about this for
months on this show. It would be nice if Jerry
Jones would actually finish the marathon, your beloved owner. He
liked the team so much he bought it and the
GM there Jerry Jones only a few more hurdles to
jump over in the steeplechase to get into the regular season.
We're about forty something days away from the start of
(03:47):
the NFL season and Jerry, he's made it this far.
We think he's been held against his will on a
yacht somewhere out in the Atlantic but he's made it
this far without flinching, and so we're almost remember that
there's an old show back and they called the Wide
World of Sports.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
The Agony of Defeat.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's the reason that Jerry Jones should hold off on
this because in case he has second Thuster. The Cowboy
playoff game against the Green Bay Packers at home, Cowboys
favoring the game should win going away, right, and that
loss completely unacceptable. And you got all these guys lined
(04:25):
up and a roll who are all looking to get paid,
and they will eventually get paid. But if I'm Jerry
Jones and the Cowboys, I'm like, no, not right now,
Not Cedee Lamb, not Dak Prescott, not Michael Parsons, and
these Schmendricks who just Dak was brutal. I understand why
he wouldn't be priority number one. His performance in the
first half of that game was dreadful. Now furthermore, we
(04:46):
are reading out of Minnesota the Vikings are very optimistic
about Sam Donald. We don't understand why they would be
optimistic about Sam Donald. They say that he could have
a Geno Smith like impact with the Vikings. What is
your reaction to that one? That the much traveled. Now,
(05:07):
Sam Darnell, who's passed around the NFL, will have a
Geno Smith type impact.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
There with the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So my reaction is to go to the medicine cabinet
and you open that up there and you get the
pink bottle out and the pepto bismo, because that is
you're just waiting for it. That is a heartburn situation,
is what is. Geno Smith has been right in the
middle of the Bell curve in Seattle overall body work.
I know JJN Ranton and all the other fellas in
(05:37):
Seattle crying Craig and those guys.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Are like, ah, you know what are you talking about?
And Noster Denis but bear with me.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Largely, the Seahawks have not been a legit contender, right,
They've been a faux contender to make the playoffs with
Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But the genome at QB.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is the main reason why that he is a serviceable
order back, but in the regular season, you wouldn't trust him,
wouldn't bet on him in a big spot, and he's
undependable in those situations. In Minnesota, essentially, by this story
that's bounced around over the weekend, Minnesota's telling the fan
base there. They're saying, hey, you know this kind of
(06:16):
performance here, we don't want a's, we don't want bees.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
We like, we'll take a C.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
We like ah solid. See, but Donald, you're gonna have
the same issue. Even if he plays well and there's
really good wide receivers in Minnesota and you say, well,
he should be fine and all that stuff, and you
can throw the ball around, put up big numbers, gotty
fantasy stats. Okay, fine, but again, even if Minnesota wins
a bunch of games down the line, you're gonna get
(06:43):
to a big spot in the playoffs, wild card weekend,
and Sam Darnold's gonna have a close encounters of the
third kind.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
He's gonna start seeing ghosts again.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And it's turned out the last the party's over right
last thing here. So I saw the Chicago Bears getting
a lot of love at Eugene in Chicago. You feeme
some of the guys that are p ones on this
show are very optimistic that after all these years of futility,
the Bears will actually have a solid team this year.
(07:14):
And I saw some comments from Jalen Johnson of the
Chicago football team, who said, among I'm gonna paraphrase this,
I'm not gonna be the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
But he said that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's tired of the buzz. He's tired of the buzz
about the Bears potential. He gave the money quote, we
got to prove it, was what he said. I was
just kind of obvious, right, you gotta prove it. So
I liked it, though. I did like this when you
look at the Chicago Bears for the last two years,
the last two years, the Bears have had their tires
(07:46):
pumped up. Remember last year they won the offseason because
Justin Fields was the MVP and one of the greatest
quarterbacks of all time. The media told me that, they
said Justin Field is amazing, He's un stoppable, and he did.
He won the MVP of the offseason. Then the season began,
and now he's backing up in Pittsburgh. Now he's following
(08:10):
mister unlimited around Russell Wilson in the Burg and it
maybe go one of those steel mills. They still have
a few of them in the Pittsburgh area. But he's
not playing quarterback in Chicago. Justin Fields, he's now a
backup in Pittsburgh. So now Caleb Williams God's gift to
the quarterback position. He was picked at the very top
of the NFL draft. We know his story, and so
(08:32):
now he's getting pumped up and people are euxseted. So
Jalen Johnson realizes, as most knowledgeable people, it's all hot air.
It's all hot air, and follow the nautical wisdom of
the old golden domer from back in the day Lou Holtz,
who's still hanging around. He's really old, but he's still
(08:53):
hanging around. But he had a quote back in the day,
the old notre name coach who failed in the NFL.
He talked about the pressure and the hype and all
that stuff, and people complaining and ranting and raving and
all this stuff. And his quote, which I'm sure he
stole from some sea captain somewhere out in the middle
of the Pacific, but it's don't tell me how.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Rocky the see is, just bringing the ship.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And so the Bears like, okay, they got a lot
of hyapa build up on all this stuff, but they
don't tell me it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Just cool, do it. And they haven't been able to
do it. That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And you look at that division and Green Bay could
go either way. I'm not completely sold that the Packers
are gonna be amazing and run away with things. Remember
Jordan Love the first part of the year last year
was okay, it wasn't great, and he played well in
the second half. The Lions another team that could go
either way. Would you be shocked if Jared Goff falls
(09:43):
back off and the Lions end up being more in
the middle around a five hundred team, And like the
whole division, like Minnesota's got really good playmakers, but they
don't have a quarterback, so the whole division looks to
be a bit of a toss up.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Meler
Show weeked he said two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Hey, we're Covino 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 5 (10:15):
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 (10:27):
Yeah, you blubber list jam in me.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
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 5 (10:33):
Well, it's a Cavino 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 gonna 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 (10:47):
Well, if you don't get enough.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
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 5 (10:57):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,
but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with Cadino and
Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
A bit of a Bronx boot haha.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
If you will welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere,
talk mates, as we get down to business here coast
to coast, border, the border and beyond on the vast
and herculeanly powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live from the
(11:38):
wash the mouthwash of guests Baggery. We are broadcasting live
from the ti rack dot com studios tyraq dot com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Fer Dog thanked me ten thousand times for sending down
(12:00):
the show rundown tyrack dot com. The way tire buying
should be. Talk some baseball here, a story that's been
percolating over the weekend. It caught my attention, and we'll
start out in the Big Apple. The New York teams
will be playing this week, starting Tomorrow into Monday, so
starting on Tuesday here, and a lot of this has
(12:24):
been playing out in the public square. There's been some
wrangling going on, and that raises alarm bells when you
do a sports talk radio show. So I'll give you
the basics. I'm not going to get into all the minutia.
But the Yankee manager Aaron Boone reached out to the
New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. All of this related
(12:44):
to comments made by a pitcher for the Metropolitans named
Luis Severino, who he said, over the weeks, he was
having some fun busting chops and he said that the
Yankee lineup has two good hitters.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And so that quote, when you say that to the
tabloids in New York, that quote got blown out of proportion.
And the Severno also spent almost ten years pitching for
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
He was toiling on.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The mound in the Bronx and he said this talking
to some Yankee players and then repeated it to the meeting.
He said, right now, you only have two good hitters.
Now several Reno's not going to pitch, he's gonna be
absent from the upcoming Subway series. But the thing that's
interesting here is the Aaron Boone part of this. That
Aaron Boone reached out to Carlos Mendoza. So let us
(13:33):
discuss the question. The Yankee skipper, Aaron Boone contacting his
contemporary across the city there with the Mets and upset
by the commentary, seemingly upset by the commentary of Luis
Severino saying the Yankees only have two only two good hitters,
where you're at on this one.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So I've got Billy Graham, dressing room.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And punch bowl, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a wild hat.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
A listener in Montana said they were gonna send me.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This came up last hour, the Montana mascot, and the
listener has said they're gonna send me a Montana Grizzlies hat.
So I don't have that in my vast collection of hats.
I'm wearing the poutine hat. By the way, this is
the poutine hat. My love of poutine, and it's the salad.
It's the only satell I really like. It's the Canadian salad.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
So anyway, number wa.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, so let me just get this off the top.
This is a new low for Aaron Boone. Aaron Boone
who continues to toil away as the Yankee manager despite
ineptitude in the postseason, sometimes even the regular season, and like,
what are.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You doing here? Because one of those what are you
doing situations?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
For Aaron Boone, it is a masculating It's also here's
the other thing, and we bring this up. These stories
have happened from time to time. I understand that Mendoza
and Boon are friends, and the Mets manager used to
work for the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I get all that. I understand that dynamic.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Nevertheless, the fact that this guy out there, it is
emasculating is what it is, right, and it's empowering because
you've empowered the words of Luis Severino that he upset
you enough, as Aaron Boone, the manager of the Yankees,
that you reached out to the other manager, which tells
you that the Mets pitcher Severino is like a modern
(15:29):
day Billy Graham.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right, he's preaching the gospel. He's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Now, last I checked, which was heading into the weekend,
and I don't know if this changed over we but
the Yankees had two guys.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
They had Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Those are the only two guys that had more than
ten home runs other than Jean Carlos Stanton.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
So essentially, have on one side, you've got Sodo, on
the other side, you've got Aaron Judge, and then you've
got Barney to the Dinosaur and Elmo and those type
of characters in the lineup. It's another example, well, these
are not your daddy's Yankees.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Imagine the old days.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I'm gonna have the Yankee manager contact the other manager
upset because of Christma. Who cares what Luis Severino says,
You've empowered his words. Now page two, we go to Vegas.
We talked a lot last hour about Vegas. We know
to Malord meet and greet in Las Vegas August third Saturday.
So it's still a couple weeks away, almost two full
weeks away from the Malor meet and greet in Vegas.
(16:25):
Details on social media. But this is a crazy story
that did not get enough of attention. So I wanted
to put the highlighter on this story. So I read
that during a recent presentation between folks from the Athletics
and the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. I don't even know
what that is. It sounds important, but the Las Vegas
(16:46):
Stadium Authority the Athletics have confirmed that there is currently
no financing in place for their one point five billion
dollar ballpark right in the heart of the strip in Vegas.
That net me repeat that for those of you who
are in the back of the room, we're not talking
about just a shortfall here. We're not talking about, hey,
(17:08):
we need a little extra money here. The Athletics. This
is from the athletics, the people that work for the
Major League Baseball team. There is no financing to pay
for the venue.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Zero. That's what they said. Those aren't my words, that's
their words.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Now keep in mind part of this process or process
depending on how you say the word, where you grew up.
But the A's have confirmed they have zero financing. They
also would like three hundred and eighty million dollars in
a subsidy, a taxpayer handout from the taxpayers of Nevada
to finance the stadium. Now they've already closed the Tropicana,
(17:46):
they've started the demolition from what I understand, on the
Tropic Canda, that's where the ballpark's going to be. And
yet zero financing to build the one point five billion
dollar ballpark.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
How does that happen? Right? And that's really the question.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
How is Major League Baseball allowing this to continue without finance?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
So this is one of those stories. You go to
the dressing room.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, you go into the dressing room, you put on
the fuzzy red nose, you put on the oversized shoes
and the clown makeup. Because it's Boso show. It is
an absolute Boso Show. Now, if this is true what
has been reported, If it's accurate, that would mean that
Major League Baseball is allowing the Athletics to leave Oakland,
(18:32):
a place they've been since the nineteen sixties, and go
to Sacramento in the Twilight Zone. But remember, you're not
allowed to say they're the Sacramento is because that's for Boton.
You're not allowed to do it. And they won't put
Sacramento on the uniforms. Are going to play a minor
league ballpark in the capitol of California, and that's it.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And essentially, the.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Way I read it, they're waiting on a wing and
a prayer that the money's going to appear and that
the gambling people that made them all kinds of promises
will come up with money.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Which I something makes sense, but it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
The fact that they're moving already doesn't pass the smell test.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
It just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Either the A's are fibbing that they just didn't want
to give the information out when they spoke to this
stadium group in Vegas last week, or Rob Manford, a
good punching bag on this show, is just a bigger
jackwagon than we thought he was. And with the whole
letting the Astros cheat and all that stuff, getting away
(19:35):
with it and endorsing it's insane. All right, final point,
So we'll go to baseball where we'll say, in baseball
rather where shohe Otani's Doyers swept Jaren Duran's Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They did the showcase game, Big Game on Saturday, National TV.
Friday Night was a big game. All the games were
showcased around baseball.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Get the sweep.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
They played miserable baseball going into the All Star Break.
They'd lost I think six or seven, but they get
the sweep over Boston.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
The Dodgers sweeping the Red Sox. So for the Dodgers,
I'm gonna say it's no deal, even though they needed
to play better because they'd been playing like rotting Pooh
for a good stretch of time.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
So it's it's nice, but it's no.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Deal for them because they're they're gonna be judged solely
on what they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Playoffs. It's all about what they do in the postseason.
All this other stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Eh, they've had record breaking regular seasons and then gone
belly up in the fetal position and all that in
the playoffs. So that doesn't matter. It's it's it's all
about the postseason. The Red Sox, though, it's a big deal.
So from the Boston side of things, it's a big deal.
We talked about this a few weeks back in previous
episodes of the show, like the Red Sox have been
(20:53):
an overachieving team. They were supposed to be essentially flatulence
this year.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
They were not.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
It's supposed to be anything more than a gaseous mass
that they were not going to contain. And then they're
a contender for a wild card berth in the American League.
Right now, they've overachieved, They've outperformed expectations. And so there
was a grassroots movement led by alf the Alien, O
Pinter and Andrea and the Commonwealth and some other people
(21:21):
for the Red Sox to convince John Henry, the owner there,
to say, all right, we're gonna be buyers. We're going
to try to improve the team. The trade deadline is
coming up here at the end of July, and so
they try to improve the team. We're less than ten
days away from the baseball trade deadline.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
But here we are, at this point, this fork in
the road, and now the brass in Boston can say, well,
wait a minute, here, like the front office, and say,
I told you, See, I told you that the team's
not that good. They can't compete with the Dodgers. Even
though the Red Sox blew multiple leads. I think they
had leads in every game. I know they had leads
in the first two and in this game too, So
(21:57):
they had leads in every game and blue them. And
now the front office, all right, we're gonna take the
off ramp here and we'll point out all.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
The flaws and the roster.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And as the season goes on, we're in the dog
days of the baseball season. These guys are gonna start
having more and more issues as it gets harder and
harder to win, and you have to live up to expectations,
and so they're just not good enough, which would mean
rather than ad players, the Red Sox likely will be
putting a for sale sign up and they'll open up
the garage and have a garage set.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Here we go, here we go. Here we got smeller.
How about that? To the third degree? This is one
big gets crudel.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been surging a bit lately, and
now their GM Mike Hasen, says that the team will
be buyers at the trade deadline. Is that the right
move Arizona?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yes, they put last year.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
They weren't very good last year and they got to
the freaking World Series. So yes that in baseball it's
kind of like hot same thing in hockey. You see
teams that aren't supposed to be that good that end
up going far. Yeah, if you're the Arizona Diamondbacks, you
just went on a run. You weren't supposed to make
the World Series you did. Why would you not add players?
Of course you should. If you look at the Diamondbacks
(23:14):
and they're not as good talent wise as the Phillies
or the Dodgers, but.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
They weren't last year either.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Next a team on the opposite end of that spectrum
is the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has the fourth worst
record in the AL and it seems obvious that they
will be sellers. Ben, do you think they offload Vlad
Garreo Junior, Bobaschett or both.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So my money is that they do trade one of them,
but not both. So I'm gonna go with Bo Baschett
as the one they trade because they will get a
lot of crap if they trade Laddie Guerrero Jr. Because
he's more popular. Although neither one of them's played particularly
well this season.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
The Guerrero last I checked, was coming on a little
bit more. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
For the purpose of the show, I'd like to see
both of them traded next.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That's been reported this weekend that JJ McCarthy would have
to play lights out to start over Sam Darnold, Ben,
do you think there's a chance that they don't start
McCarthy at all season?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, that would be that would be ridiculous, that we malpractice.
What's the point the rookie contract?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
This should he's.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Gotta play his same we're talking about Sam Donald, Coop,
this is Sam Efan Donald.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
What do we do? Yes, McCarthy's gonna play multiple games.
How do we know you passes? That is a way

Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
US. The silence of the Lamb, at least for now.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Welcome in the beginning of a brand new week of
the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
light minded patrons, as we checked to use by date
here coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the vast and mighty powerful microphones of FSR moundating live
(01:01):
from the position the pole position. We're broadcasting live from
the Tiraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help

the Alien Opiner in Springfield, mass I think he sent
(01:23):
ten thousand fun facts. We've only used a couple of them,
but he keeps sitting them in tirack dot com the
way tire buying should be in ear lead this hour,
play the hits, mop Man, play the hits. We'll start
with the NFL. I could wax poet about the Dodger
sweeping the Red Sox binan can do.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'll do that later.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So our league coming from Jerry's world in the NFL
and in the training camps getting going. Not everyone underway
yet this week, next couple days, big period of time.
So we have a high stakes poker situation going on
in Dallas. As you know, we go where the interesting
stories are that particular day. And so if you have
(02:05):
not heard the latest on this and perhaps not here,
we have learned the Cowboys, how about them Cowboys? The
Cowboys prioritizing CD Lamb, the wide receiver for a mega
mega mega contract extension, over Dakota Prescott.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
In a new deal.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Now both will be free agents after this upcoming season.
I know you're very concerned about that, the CD Lamb
extension conversation.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Bigger deal, bigger deal.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
We are told, according to the story bouncing around the
echo chamber. So this is what I want to talk
to you about the question with those whispers out there
that the wide receiver CD LAMB is priority number one.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Over Dak Prescott. How much weight does that have?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So I've got the wide world of sports, medicine, cabinet
and nautical wisdom, and we will combine all of these
things together.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And we are going to make apple pie. Why not?
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So to kick off here to answer the question about
ceedee lam not so fast, my friend, right? I mean,
as far as how much weight does it have? I
don't have any real weight on this. I'm hopeful there's
nothing to it. And here's why I have no horse
in the race.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But it would be nice. We talked about this for
months on this show. It would be nice if Jerry
Jones would actually finish the marathon, your beloved owner. He
liked the team so much he bought it and the
GM there Jerry Jones only a few more hurdles to
jump over in the steeplechase to get into the regular season.
We're about forty something days away from the start of
(03:47):
the NFL season and Jerry, he's made it this far.
We think he's been held against his will on a
yacht somewhere out in the Atlantic but he's made it
this far without flinching, and so we're almost remember that
there's an old show back and they called the Wide
World of Sports.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
The Agony of Defeat.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's the reason that Jerry Jones should hold off on
this because in case he has second Thuster. The Cowboy
playoff game against the Green Bay Packers at home, Cowboys
favoring the game should win going away, right, and that
loss completely unacceptable. And you got all these guys lined
(04:25):
up and a roll who are all looking to get paid,
and they will eventually get paid. But if I'm Jerry
Jones and the Cowboys, I'm like, no, not right now,
Not Cedee Lamb, not Dak Prescott, not Michael Parsons, and
these Schmendricks who just Dak was brutal. I understand why
he wouldn't be priority number one. His performance in the
first half of that game was dreadful. Now furthermore, we
(04:46):
are reading out of Minnesota the Vikings are very optimistic
about Sam Donald. We don't understand why they would be
optimistic about Sam Donald. They say that he could have
a Geno Smith like impact with the Vikings. What is
your reaction to that one? That the much traveled. Now,
(05:07):
Sam Darnell, who's passed around the NFL, will have a
Geno Smith type impact.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
There with the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So my reaction is to go to the medicine cabinet
and you open that up there and you get the
pink bottle out and the pepto bismo, because that is
you're just waiting for it. That is a heartburn situation,
is what is. Geno Smith has been right in the
middle of the Bell curve in Seattle overall body work.
I know JJN Ranton and all the other fellas in
(05:37):
Seattle crying Craig and those guys.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Are like, ah, you know what are you talking about?
And Noster Denis but bear with me.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Largely, the Seahawks have not been a legit contender, right,
They've been a faux contender to make the playoffs with
Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But the genome at QB.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is the main reason why that he is a serviceable
order back, but in the regular season, you wouldn't trust him,
wouldn't bet on him in a big spot, and he's
undependable in those situations. In Minnesota, essentially, by this story
that's bounced around over the weekend, Minnesota's telling the fan
base there. They're saying, hey, you know this kind of
(06:16):
performance here, we don't want a's, we don't want bees.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
We like, we'll take a C.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
We like ah solid. See, but Donald, you're gonna have
the same issue. Even if he plays well and there's
really good wide receivers in Minnesota and you say, well,
he should be fine and all that stuff, and you
can throw the ball around, put up big numbers, gotty
fantasy stats. Okay, fine, but again, even if Minnesota wins
a bunch of games down the line, you're gonna get
(06:43):
to a big spot in the playoffs, wild card weekend,
and Sam Darnold's gonna have a close encounters of the
third kind.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
He's gonna start seeing ghosts again.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And it's turned out the last the party's over right
last thing here. So I saw the Chicago Bears getting
a lot of love at Eugene in Chicago. You feeme
some of the guys that are p ones on this
show are very optimistic that after all these years of futility,
the Bears will actually have a solid team this year.
(07:14):
And I saw some comments from Jalen Johnson of the
Chicago football team, who said, among I'm gonna paraphrase this,
I'm not gonna be the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
But he said that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's tired of the buzz. He's tired of the buzz
about the Bears potential. He gave the money quote, we
got to prove it, was what he said. I was
just kind of obvious, right, you gotta prove it. So
I liked it, though. I did like this when you
look at the Chicago Bears for the last two years,
the last two years, the Bears have had their tires
(07:46):
pumped up. Remember last year they won the offseason because
Justin Fields was the MVP and one of the greatest
quarterbacks of all time. The media told me that, they
said Justin Field is amazing, He's un stoppable, and he did.
He won the MVP of the offseason. Then the season began,
and now he's backing up in Pittsburgh. Now he's following
(08:10):
mister unlimited around Russell Wilson in the Burg and it
maybe go one of those steel mills. They still have
a few of them in the Pittsburgh area. But he's
not playing quarterback in Chicago. Justin Fields, he's now a
backup in Pittsburgh. So now Caleb Williams God's gift to
the quarterback position. He was picked at the very top
of the NFL draft. We know his story, and so
(08:32):
now he's getting pumped up and people are euxseted. So
Jalen Johnson realizes, as most knowledgeable people, it's all hot air.
It's all hot air, and follow the nautical wisdom of
the old golden domer from back in the day Lou Holtz,
who's still hanging around. He's really old, but he's still
(08:53):
hanging around. But he had a quote back in the day,
the old notre name coach who failed in the NFL.
He talked about the pressure and the hype and all
that stuff, and people complaining and ranting and raving and
all this stuff. And his quote, which I'm sure he
stole from some sea captain somewhere out in the middle
of the Pacific, but it's don't tell me how.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Rocky the see is, just bringing the ship.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And so the Bears like, okay, they got a lot
of hyapa build up on all this stuff, but they
don't tell me it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Just cool, do it. And they haven't been able to
do it. That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And you look at that division and Green Bay could
go either way. I'm not completely sold that the Packers
are gonna be amazing and run away with things. Remember
Jordan Love the first part of the year last year
was okay, it wasn't great, and he played well in
the second half. The Lions another team that could go
either way. Would you be shocked if Jared Goff falls
(09:43):
back off and the Lions end up being more in
the middle around a five hundred team, And like the
whole division, like Minnesota's got really good playmakers, but they
don't have a quarterback, so the whole division looks to
be a bit of a toss up.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Meler
Show weeked he said two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day

to get to.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
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 (10:27):
Yeah, you blubber list jam in me.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
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 5 (10:33):
Well, it's a Cavino 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 gonna 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 (10:47):
Well, if you don't get enough.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
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 5 (10:57):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,
but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with Cadino and
Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you

Speaker 3 (11:09):
A bit of a Bronx boot haha.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
If you will welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere,
talk mates, as we get down to business here coast
to coast, border, the border and beyond on the vast
and herculeanly powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live from the
(11:38):
wash the mouthwash of guests Baggery. We are broadcasting live
from the ti rack dot com studios tyraq dot com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Fer Dog thanked me ten thousand times for sending down
(12:00):
the show rundown tyrack dot com. The way tire buying
should be. Talk some baseball here, a story that's been
percolating over the weekend. It caught my attention, and we'll
start out in the Big Apple. The New York teams
will be playing this week, starting Tomorrow into Monday, so
starting on Tuesday here, and a lot of this has
(12:24):
been playing out in the public square. There's been some
wrangling going on, and that raises alarm bells when you
do a sports talk radio show. So I'll give you
the basics. I'm not going to get into all the minutia.
But the Yankee manager Aaron Boone reached out to the
New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. All of this related
(12:44):
to comments made by a pitcher for the Metropolitans named
Luis Severino, who he said, over the weeks, he was
having some fun busting chops and he said that the
Yankee lineup has two good hitters.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And so that quote, when you say that to the
tabloids in New York, that quote got blown out of proportion.
And the Severno also spent almost ten years pitching for
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
He was toiling on.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The mound in the Bronx and he said this talking
to some Yankee players and then repeated it to the meeting.
He said, right now, you only have two good hitters.
Now several Reno's not going to pitch, he's gonna be
absent from the upcoming Subway series. But the thing that's
interesting here is the Aaron Boone part of this. That
Aaron Boone reached out to Carlos Mendoza. So let us
(13:33):
discuss the question. The Yankee skipper, Aaron Boone contacting his
contemporary across the city there with the Mets and upset
by the commentary, seemingly upset by the commentary of Luis
Severino saying the Yankees only have two only two good hitters,
where you're at on this one.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So I've got Billy Graham, dressing room.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And punch bowl, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a wild hat.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
A listener in Montana said they were gonna send me.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This came up last hour, the Montana mascot, and the
listener has said they're gonna send me a Montana Grizzlies hat.
So I don't have that in my vast collection of hats.
I'm wearing the poutine hat. By the way, this is
the poutine hat. My love of poutine, and it's the salad.
It's the only satell I really like. It's the Canadian salad.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
So anyway, number wa.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, so let me just get this off the top.
This is a new low for Aaron Boone. Aaron Boone
who continues to toil away as the Yankee manager despite
ineptitude in the postseason, sometimes even the regular season, and like,
what are.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You doing here? Because one of those what are you
doing situations?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
For Aaron Boone, it is a masculating It's also here's
the other thing, and we bring this up. These stories
have happened from time to time. I understand that Mendoza
and Boon are friends, and the Mets manager used to
work for the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I get all that. I understand that dynamic.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Nevertheless, the fact that this guy out there, it is
emasculating is what it is, right, and it's empowering because
you've empowered the words of Luis Severino that he upset
you enough, as Aaron Boone, the manager of the Yankees,
that you reached out to the other manager, which tells
you that the Mets pitcher Severino is like a modern
(15:29):
day Billy Graham.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right, he's preaching the gospel. He's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Now, last I checked, which was heading into the weekend,
and I don't know if this changed over we but
the Yankees had two guys.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
They had Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Those are the only two guys that had more than
ten home runs other than Jean Carlos Stanton.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
So essentially, have on one side, you've got Sodo, on
the other side, you've got Aaron Judge, and then you've
got Barney to the Dinosaur and Elmo and those type
of characters in the lineup. It's another example, well, these
are not your daddy's Yankees.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Imagine the old days.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I'm gonna have the Yankee manager contact the other manager
upset because of Christma. Who cares what Luis Severino says,
You've empowered his words. Now page two, we go to Vegas.
We talked a lot last hour about Vegas. We know
to Malord meet and greet in Las Vegas August third Saturday.
So it's still a couple weeks away, almost two full
weeks away from the Malor meet and greet in Vegas.
(16:25):
Details on social media. But this is a crazy story
that did not get enough of attention. So I wanted
to put the highlighter on this story. So I read
that during a recent presentation between folks from the Athletics
and the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. I don't even know
what that is. It sounds important, but the Las Vegas
(16:46):
Stadium Authority the Athletics have confirmed that there is currently
no financing in place for their one point five billion
dollar ballpark right in the heart of the strip in Vegas.
That net me repeat that for those of you who
are in the back of the room, we're not talking
about just a shortfall here. We're not talking about, hey,
(17:08):
we need a little extra money here. The Athletics. This
is from the athletics, the people that work for the
Major League Baseball team. There is no financing to pay
for the venue.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Zero. That's what they said. Those aren't my words, that's
their words.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Now keep in mind part of this process or process
depending on how you say the word, where you grew up.
But the A's have confirmed they have zero financing. They
also would like three hundred and eighty million dollars in
a subsidy, a taxpayer handout from the taxpayers of Nevada
to finance the stadium. Now they've already closed the Tropicana,
(17:46):
they've started the demolition from what I understand, on the
Tropic Canda, that's where the ballpark's going to be. And
yet zero financing to build the one point five billion
dollar ballpark.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
How does that happen? Right? And that's really the question.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
How is Major League Baseball allowing this to continue without finance?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
So this is one of those stories. You go to
the dressing room.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, you go into the dressing room, you put on
the fuzzy red nose, you put on the oversized shoes
and the clown makeup. Because it's Boso show. It is
an absolute Boso Show. Now, if this is true what
has been reported, If it's accurate, that would mean that
Major League Baseball is allowing the Athletics to leave Oakland,
(18:32):
a place they've been since the nineteen sixties, and go
to Sacramento in the Twilight Zone. But remember, you're not
allowed to say they're the Sacramento is because that's for Boton.
You're not allowed to do it. And they won't put
Sacramento on the uniforms. Are going to play a minor
league ballpark in the capitol of California, and that's it.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And essentially, the.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Way I read it, they're waiting on a wing and
a prayer that the money's going to appear and that
the gambling people that made them all kinds of promises
will come up with money.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Which I something makes sense, but it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
The fact that they're moving already doesn't pass the smell test.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
It just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Either the A's are fibbing that they just didn't want
to give the information out when they spoke to this
stadium group in Vegas last week, or Rob Manford, a
good punching bag on this show, is just a bigger
jackwagon than we thought he was. And with the whole
letting the Astros cheat and all that stuff, getting away
(19:35):
with it and endorsing it's insane. All right, final point,
So we'll go to baseball where we'll say, in baseball
rather where shohe Otani's Doyers swept Jaren Duran's Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They did the showcase game, Big Game on Saturday, National TV.
Friday Night was a big game. All the games were
showcased around baseball.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Get the sweep.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
They played miserable baseball going into the All Star Break.
They'd lost I think six or seven, but they get
the sweep over Boston.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
The Dodgers sweeping the Red Sox. So for the Dodgers,
I'm gonna say it's no deal, even though they needed
to play better because they'd been playing like rotting Pooh
for a good stretch of time.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
So it's it's nice, but it's no.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Deal for them because they're they're gonna be judged solely
on what they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Playoffs. It's all about what they do in the postseason.
All this other stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Eh, they've had record breaking regular seasons and then gone
belly up in the fetal position and all that in
the playoffs. So that doesn't matter. It's it's it's all
about the postseason. The Red Sox, though, it's a big deal.
So from the Boston side of things, it's a big deal.
We talked about this a few weeks back in previous
episodes of the show, like the Red Sox have been
(20:53):
an overachieving team. They were supposed to be essentially flatulence
this year.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
They were not.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
It's supposed to be anything more than a gaseous mass
that they were not going to contain. And then they're
a contender for a wild card berth in the American League.
Right now, they've overachieved, They've outperformed expectations. And so there
was a grassroots movement led by alf the Alien, O
Pinter and Andrea and the Commonwealth and some other people
(21:21):
for the Red Sox to convince John Henry, the owner there,
to say, all right, we're gonna be buyers. We're going
to try to improve the team. The trade deadline is
coming up here at the end of July, and so
they try to improve the team. We're less than ten
days away from the baseball trade deadline.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
But here we are, at this point, this fork in
the road, and now the brass in Boston can say, well,
wait a minute, here, like the front office, and say,
I told you, See, I told you that the team's
not that good. They can't compete with the Dodgers. Even
though the Red Sox blew multiple leads. I think they
had leads in every game. I know they had leads
in the first two and in this game too, So
(21:57):
they had leads in every game and blue them. And
now the front office, all right, we're gonna take the
off ramp here and we'll point out all.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
The flaws and the roster.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And as the season goes on, we're in the dog
days of the baseball season. These guys are gonna start
having more and more issues as it gets harder and
harder to win, and you have to live up to expectations,
and so they're just not good enough, which would mean
rather than ad players, the Red Sox likely will be
putting a for sale sign up and they'll open up
the garage and have a garage set.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Here we go, here we go. Here we got smeller.
How about that? To the third degree? This is one
big gets crudel.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been surging a bit lately, and
now their GM Mike Hasen, says that the team will
be buyers at the trade deadline. Is that the right
move Arizona?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yes, they put last year.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
They weren't very good last year and they got to
the freaking World Series. So yes that in baseball it's
kind of like hot same thing in hockey. You see
teams that aren't supposed to be that good that end
up going far. Yeah, if you're the Arizona Diamondbacks, you
just went on a run. You weren't supposed to make
the World Series you did. Why would you not add players?
Of course you should. If you look at the Diamondbacks
(23:14):
and they're not as good talent wise as the Phillies
or the Dodgers, but.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
They weren't last year either.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Next a team on the opposite end of that spectrum
is the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has the fourth worst
record in the AL and it seems obvious that they
will be sellers. Ben, do you think they offload Vlad
Garreo Junior, Bobaschett or both.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So my money is that they do trade one of them,
but not both. So I'm gonna go with Bo Baschett
as the one they trade because they will get a
lot of crap if they trade Laddie Guerrero Jr. Because
he's more popular. Although neither one of them's played particularly
well this season.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
The Guerrero last I checked, was coming on a little
bit more. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
For the purpose of the show, I'd like to see
both of them traded next.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That's been reported this weekend that JJ McCarthy would have
to play lights out to start over Sam Darnold, Ben,
do you think there's a chance that they don't start
McCarthy at all season?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, that would be that would be ridiculous, that we malpractice.
What's the point the rookie contract?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
This should he's.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Gotta play his same we're talking about Sam Donald, Coop,
this is Sam Efan Donald.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
What do we do? Yes, McCarthy's gonna play multiple games.
How do we know you passes? That is a way
you get part on.
