Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome. It's our name Birth three. All about
the money. It's all about the money. We go to
Kansas City. On the original Recipe podcast here in our
number three, where Patrick Mahomes has responded to the big
quarterback contracts handed out to to a Tongue, a by Lawa,

(00:21):
Jordan Love and others all over the NFL. He says
he doesn't feel underpaid, but is there more to this story?
We'll talk about it. Also, GM Andrew Berry says he
prefers for a dome stadium when the Browns build their
next stadium, saying that they're paying these guys to be

(00:41):
athletes as opposed to gladiators. Can you decode this message
from the Cleveland GM. Also, the NFL mandating head coaches
do live in game interviews for the twenty twenty four
NFL season. Good idea, bad idea. We'll talk about that
as well. It's all coming your way right now here
here it is our number three. It really is all

(01:05):
about the Benjamins in the NFL these days. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhares, we crowd around and
we study the science of the hot sports take. It
is an inexact science coast to coast, border to border

(01:28):
and beyond on the vast and majestically powerful microphones of
fsre emmating live from the vibes, the verbal vibes as
we are broadcasting live the Tirak dot com studios tyraq
dot com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand,

(01:52):
over ten thousand recommended installers. P one Howard likes that
round number. Tire raq dot com. Oh wait tire buying.
Shult me in our lead this hour from Cansas City,
where the barbecue is fresh and the football is golden.
And that is where Patrick mahomet Patrick Mahomes was asked

(02:15):
a loaded question and how did he answer the loaded question?
Did you see this? Is you hear about this?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Maybe not? We got you. We got you. So. Patrick
Mahomes was asked recently about these massive, massive quarterback contracts.
You get paid, you get paid, You get everyone get paid.
Huge contracts for the guys that are turn burgers getting
paid big money. So a lot of these guys are
second rate quarterbacks that are we talking about here? They're
not as good as Patrick Mahomes. And so he says

(02:43):
he does not feel underpaid. Kind of, I say, kind of,
there's a caveat to that. His response was quote not necessarily.
This quote was not necessarily when asked about this. So
let us discuss the question Patrick Mahomes saying he doesn't
feel underpaid. Is there more to the story. So I've

(03:04):
got transformers, creature comforts, and TikTok, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a earthquake. It was an earthquake. Earthquakes all the time.
It's one on Monday in California here. So first of all,

(03:26):
it's all about, like all these its all about perspective, right,
It's all about perspectives. You psycho analyze the words and
you pick apart the words of Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes said
not necessarily. Now not necessarily is part of the weasel family.
Pop goes to weasel. It's a bit of a weasel

(03:47):
term because I've told people like we got to lunch.
I don't know that I necessarily want to get that.
I might not necessarily want that dish of chicken figures,
but that'll end up eating it. I said not necessarily,
but I changed my mind. I left the door open
not necessarily as not. No, it's like, not necessarily but

(04:08):
necessarily is the weasel part of it. Right, So he's
being a bit of a politician also being the good
guy and checking all the boxes. He's the statesman. He's like, oh, yeah,
I'm happy the other people are being paid. It's great
for our sports, great for our game. Great, great for
our game. Oh it's so good. Right. However, we believe

(04:29):
the comment made by Patrick Mahomes. It's like the Transformers.
It's more than meets the eye.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Mahomes the eleventh ranked quarterback in terms of yearly average salary.
Oh my god, I'm very concerned about other people's money.
But he's number eleven in the NFL and he's playing
mister Niskay and all that because he knows he's going
to get a text. They're going to text him somebody
from the Chiefs say it's that time of the year.

(04:57):
We'd like to give you a little more money. They
still do that in the NFL. And the Chiefs are
going to have to futs around with the algebra in
the salary cap and move some decimal points around and
turn this into that, and the thing with jig over
there into the whata you McCall it, and find some
Nora Sheck goals and pesos and rubles and all that

(05:19):
other stuff. Right, And Patrick Mahomes he's going to have
to make ends meet with the forty five million dollars
he's getting per year now. Plus I don't know about you,
but when I watch TV, I see a lot of
commercials for Patrick Mahomes endorsing different potts. Now, page two,
here we go to Cleveland. It's the second reference to

(05:43):
Cleveland on this show. Clearly, something's wrong. We're trying to
lose the audience. But Andrew Barry Andrew Berry the GM
of the Cleveland football team, and he says he was
asked about the stadium situation because the Browns stadium is
like twenty years old this time for a new stadium.
You can't have a stadium it's only twenty something years old.
You've got to have a new stadium. God forbid. So

(06:05):
Andrew Berry says he prefers a dome domed, a dome, dome, dome.
He wants a dome for the next brown stadium. And
then he gave what I call the money quote. The
Browns DM said that they're paying these guys meeting the players,
the athletes to be athletes as opposed to claudiators. So

(06:26):
can you decode what that one means? So the way
I interpreted that quote, that Andrew Berry, the GM of
the Cleveland Brownies, is admitting that the modern athlete is
so spoiled that they cannot handle the adversity that generations
pass could handle. That generations past were so happy to
be playing football being paid for it, that they were

(06:49):
willing to play on a frigid Cleveland day with lake
effect snow and they could do it, and they didn't
mind it. Maybe they minded it, but they didn't complain
about it. But today times have changed. Times have changed,
and back in the old days it was a regular occurrence.
Teams practiced the crappy high schools, and they ate bad food.

(07:10):
They had to reuse pads, and things broke, they had
to tape them together, and they wore jerseys that were
sewn up. They were falling apart. And there was even
a time this is gonna blow you away. There was
even a time when teams played in cold weather and
relished it like that. Was also part of that was
a badge of honor and put hair on your chest

(07:31):
and all that, and you just cut a little different.
And I remember when I became a fan of football,
teams used to mock Dome teams and West Coast teams.
Soft soft can't handle the elements, not cut out for it, right.
And yet now here we are, all these years later.
Many of the cold weather teams want they want the indoors.

(07:53):
They don't want the great outdoors, right, And so it's
all about the creature comforts. And you shouldn't be surprised
by any of this. It's not about pumping your chest
out saying, oh yeah, we played in cold weather and
we overcame this, that thing and the other. No, no, no, no.
The real adversity right now is not having a pizza
oven with tile with your team logo on it like

(08:15):
the Chargers have.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
If you don't have Wolfgang Puck and a pizza oven
with that little tile Charger logo on it or your
team's logo, then you're not you're not doing right. You
want all the trimmings. Hey, I shouldn't speak here. At
Fox Sports Radio, we have a smurf kitchen. We have
a blue Smurf kitchen. Yeah, exactly, It's true. Jonas Knox

(08:38):
would not work here unless they had a blue kitchen.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
That was his little rule there.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
So no hardship, no suffering, no distress in the NFL,
and definitely not Gladiators. Maybe like the American Gladiators TV show,
but even then, I watched the documentary about them a
while back. There they were crazy also, all right, final thought.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
We now moved to a little adjustment, shall we say,
and a rules adjustment involving the boob tube television In
the upcoming NFL season.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
We are told now the NFL is mandating they are
mandating that your favorite head coach to a live in
game interview every game, every single game. Good idea, bad idea?
All right, So it's not a good idea. It's not
a bad idea. I'm gonna pick door number three, all right,

(09:31):
as Doc Mike, you say door number three. It's a
TikTok idea, as in not the app. I'm not talking
about the app. No, no, no, it is a waste
of time. It is a boondoggle, is what it is.
And I've learned over the years. I learned this at
a young age that the in game interview. And I've
actually done some of these over the years, so it's
not like I haven't done this. I briefly had a

(09:52):
gig where I did this kind of thing, but even
while I was doing it, I knew. And some of
these coaches will tell you right to your fash. Oh yeah,
I'm not going to tell you anything. You can ask
me whatever you want, and I'm I'm not gonna say anything.
And more often than not, it is not worth it.
It's not worth the effort, it's not worth the energy,
and so what are we doing here. It does not

(10:13):
enhance the viewer experience. There's maybe two or three times
a year where something good comes out of it. Now,
the counter argument is, well, these guys get paid ridiculous
amounts of money and this is the bare minimum is
just to answer a few questions. So I understand that,
but if your effort is to actually improve the broadcast,
interviewing the coaches does not improve the broadcast. There's no

(10:36):
great insight. We were just talking earlier about dodgeball. That's
essentially what they're playing. They're playing dodgeball. They're dodging the questions, right,
And yeah, it's like it's all sportscliche dot Com, which
I have contributed to over the years. I know all
the great cliches and so that's pretty much what it is,
right And if you want to see those things, just
go to sportscliche dot com and that's what you get.

(10:57):
And other than that, all of these coaches interviews at
have time, I'm in game. Uh, it's just to justify
the ridiculous amount of money that the TV networks are
paying to bankroll the NFL. It's like, well, if you
pay us, you get access to so and so. But
what if so and so doesn't say anything, but you

(11:17):
still get access to it. You're paying for the access.
It is the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to
be part, speak easy. Rules are in effect, but you
can join us here if you'd like to be part,
and we'll take your phone calls. Coming up also on
X at Ben mallor we may have an in studio
appearance by the bus driver. I don't know if he's

Speaker 1 (11:40):
He might walk in, Oh, he's thinking about walking in.
