Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numeber fall, our four knocking on the door,
Happy August today, the first day of August. We were
up all night recording this podcast to give you marginal
audio content.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You can listen to on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
So here in hour number four, can you decode the
comments made by Mike Tomlin saying that the Steelers will
learn and grow from the training camp skirmish, very public
training camp skirmish that.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Took place this week.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also, what did Matthew Judan accomplish by denying the Patriots
offered him a new contract? And the NFL is going
to measure the line to gain with tech hawkeye technology
in the preseason. So where is that going. Try not
(00:53):
to get bogged down here. It is the stuff of nightmares.
It's our number four. Have a wonderful, wonderful day here.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It did.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
They are the black and yellow, but they are definitely
not mellow.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show,
we are in the air everywhere, flying the friendly audio
skies as we walk heavy coast to coast, port of
the border and beyond on the vast and unimaginably powerful
(01:33):
microphones of FSR amminating live from the yard, the Yacketyyackyard.
We're broadcasting live from the ty rack dot com studios.
Tyract dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
(01:54):
recommended in stars. Tyract dot com. The way tire buying
should be. My guy who's in Waterville, Maine. He ran
into Blair in Maine. He sent me a photo of
Blair in Maye and I think Blair and Maine's spirit
animal now is Robbie the Mariner fan.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That was great, Thank you, Jeff. I met Blair a
couple of years back. Blair's he's all grown up now,
He's all grown up. Our friend Blair, but our lead
this hour not about that. It is from the burg.
A viral, a viral a video clip from a slobber
knocker of a fight at pet Burn Steelers camp. Backup
(02:41):
quarterback Justin Fields was shoved by a Pittsburgh linebacker you've
never heard of after.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
A Reid option play.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Several offensive linemen took exception to the pushing and the shoving,
and that led the more pushing and shoving that took
place between the offense and the defense. Now, my Mike
Tomlin addressed this rhubarb that took place in the video
went viral. So I don't you heard what he said
or not? I'll give you the thumbnail recap. Mike Tomlin said, quote,
(03:12):
this is a teachable moment. As much as we hate it,
we'll learn and grow from that. He said, do you
give the standard answer? So I wanted to talk about
this the question can you decode what Mike Tomlin is
really saying regarding the Steelers needing to learn and grow
from the training camp skirmish. So I've got Beverly Hills,
(03:36):
cop proxy war, and VHS and we are going to
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a pizzapaya is what we're going to make
now to kick off.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
We love Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I can't wait to get into the meat and potatoes
of the NFL season because I will gear ontee you
that Mike tom is going to provide us with multiple.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Mal of monologues.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The guy is a quotamatic, right he is. Just give
him ten seconds. He'll give you a great quote. But
Tomlin on this one, he's using a disinformation campaign. Right,
this is he said it's a teachable moment. It isn't
a teachable moment. It's not And Tomlin knows that. He's
just saying that. It's part of the circle of life.
(04:26):
In training camp, I appreciated more what the Miami Dolphins
were saying. The Dolphins were like, yeah, we gotta fight
more Like one of the players on the Dolphins got
up the.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Said, we gotta fight. We gotta be bullies, right, we
gotta be both.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And it's the abcson, the one two threes of training camp.
Just like rookies struggling, throwing interceptions and certain players not
playing well, it's all part of it. It's all how
they make the hot dogs and players and coaches changing
body blows. The hodown that Ta places is part of
(05:01):
the deal. It's the time of the year. You queue
up the tune from Beverly Hills cop. It was a
Glen Fry tune from Beverly Hills cop. The heat is on, right,
it's the hottest part of the year. Right. The late July,
August and even into September in some place is very hot.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Right. Some are fun and under the sun. And Tomlin
knows a thing or two, because he's seen a thing
or two regarding this.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And one of my favorite quotes for Mike Tomlin is
he said he is fundamentally against comfort. So part of
not being comfortable is getting into fights.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
During training camp.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Now, another thing that is part of training camp is
players complaining about their contract.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It seems like everyone's gotten paid. But we'll stop in
New England.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Now, another update on Matthew Judan, the Patriot linebacker. When
last week talked about this cat, he was getting into
a shouting match with Gerard Mayo as coach. Well, now
the Patriot linebacker. They're continuing. They're very public back and
forth here.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
They're dispute over.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The contract and things got a little darker. This all
started because of the athletics. Diana Rossini behind a paywaft
the old Gray Lady there and reported that the team
made an offer to Matthew Judan after he missed practice
the other day.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, that wasn't true. How do we know that? We
know that because Matthew Judan said that was not the case.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
He said, quote, no they haven't, but it makes me
look bad again. Judon complained on social media. Don't believe
the lies all right, So he called Diana Rassini a liar.
So what did Matthew Judon accomplish other than calling Diana
Rossini a liar by denying the Patriots offer that d
(07:00):
said didn't happen on a new contract. So here's what
he did. I get this all figured out. It's man
versus the machine. And in the head of Matthew Judon
that cartoon bubble over his head.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
This is a proxy war.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
The Patriots are using proxies in the media, Diana Rusini, right,
They're feeding her and other people information.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And Matthew Judon is.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
In the bunker of social media and he's lobbing out
hand grenades. He's cutting out the middle man and refuting
the report, and he's doing everything he can, everything he
can to leave the Patriots. He wants one last payday.
Clearly he wants to enter the transfer portal and relocate.
(07:49):
And at this point the Patriots have not genuflected to
his desires. They don't seem very motivated to keep him.
I don't blame them. It's very odd what.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
New England has done.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
They've resigned number of players on a team that was
absolutely dog food last year. They were horrible doesn't make
a lot of sense to me. But I don't run
the Patriots. I'm not that close to them. But then
the other thing is this Judon thing. You don't want
to pay him. By the time the Patriots are any
good again, he'll be too old, as we said in
(08:19):
a previous episode of the show. So you might as
well trade him. I trade him to the Lions or
the forty nine ers or somewhere like that, whether they
think they're on the doorstep of winning a Super Bowl. Right,
last thing here we head now to the tech world.
You think technology, you think overnight sports radio. So the
NFL did announce if you missed it, we talked about
a little bit earlier, but I want to follow up
(08:40):
on it. The NFL announced this week that they will
utilize the ie Hawk. It's not a real hawk, it's
the Sony Eye Hawk technology in a handful of exhibition games.
The exhibition season begins tonight with the Hall of Fame game,
where there will be no Hall of Famers playing in
the game because Starter or a boton for the Texans
(09:01):
and the Bears. But the Hawkeye technology not in the
Hall of Fame game, but a number of games this
summer and they're testing the viability. They're doing all the
measurements and all that and putting these things in stadiums
to measure the line to gain for first downs. So
we'll sum it up like this, the NFL going to
(09:22):
measure lined again with this new hawkeye technology. Where is
this going, right, So where it's going it's telegraphed rights,
it's the chain gang will not be the chain.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Gang as you know it. They're certainly an endangered species.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
They're going to go the way of the payphone and
the VHS tape, a relic of the past, and within
five years and likely less than five years, the NFL
is going to add these gizmos and gadgets. It's going
to become normal, just like robot umpires are coming to baseball.
But the the rumor is that, from what we've heard,
(10:02):
the plan, much like in baseball, they're going to have
robot umpires calling balls and strikes, but they're still going
to put a human being there who's like an actor
who's just relaying through an earpiece what the computer tells them,
like in baseball, be oh, that's a ball, that's a strike,
and then they just have to repeat that so visually
it'll look the same. I've heard in football they're going
(10:24):
to keep the chain yang as a backup, and because
it's part of it's ingrained in American football that you
need that, and so it's part of the experience to
have a bunch of guys in their sixties and the
seventies stand on the sidelines and futs around with the chain.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So they'll leave it, but it'll.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Only really be used in case of some kind of
snaffoo with the technology. But this is another one of
those dramatic moments in sports that will be lost to technology.
It'll be a race from the NFL and future generation
since we'll not get to enjoy what we've gotten to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
What am I talking about. I'm talking about a.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Fourth in inches, close game, playoff game, fourth quarter, the
ball is spotted by the referee, the old guys waddle
out from the chain game, and there's that pause where
the referee extends the chain. Did the ball cross where
(11:25):
the chain is or not. It's a heart pounding moment,
and you won't get it will not be the same
because they'll just have some laser upstairs. Well first down
like that, right, and some Poindexter in the press box.
Poindexter press box guy will decide what's going on, just
like in baseball, balls.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And strikes, there's some drama.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
One of my favorite memories of incompetence by an umpire
was this guy named Eric Greg No longer around, but
Eric Greg in an NLCS game against the Atlanta Braves
and the Marlins and Braves had a strike zone that
went from Miami to Cuba and probably beyond Cuba. It
(12:08):
was insane and I still still recall that back in
the day. But I'm sure with this technology, no one
is going to meddle.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
No, It's impossible to meddle with technology, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's like remember a couple of weeks ago when so
many businesses were shut down because of a glitch involving
the Internet. Yeah, like that could never happens. Things like
that could never happen with the Hawkeye or whatever they're
calling it in baseball, just so we're on the same wavelength,
would never ever ever happen. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Have you recovered.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I feel like all you guys are coming out of
the woodwork after what happened to the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now you're recovered from that.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
I was in a deep depression. Now I'm looking forward
to new season. I'm going to a green Bay in
Miami this year, and I got my hotel on Miami
Beach near Lincoln Road. So I hope to meet the
the weed Man hippie. Hopefully he's not in jail when
I go.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, you might be able to meet him.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You'll probably have to bail him out of jail to
meet him, but he will be He will be incarcerated mostly.
He's still in jail. He's been in for like a
trespassing violation.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
He's still in there. It's wild.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah, before I forget, I wanted to say hello to
Lorena and I have a request for her. They need Hey,
if you could bring back a couple of drops. There's
one where Ben Maller says he blew me off at
a hotel near La.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
No, nobody wants to hear that one. Nobody wants to
hear that. It's like listen, It's like they don't listen
to the show. And then they're like, oh, you don't
ever play this. Now she's complaining, or Neesta, you've got
her complaining.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But arnessa, before you say the other drop, I still
have the thing you sent me. So we'll have to
make another bet this year. We'll have to find a
way to make a bet.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Okay, that's you and I still need to pay off
my end of that bet.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
So wet we made we made.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You lost a bet to Carson Wentz, who was the
Rams quarterback in week seventeen or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
He blew me off.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Yeah that that damn Shanahan didn't want to play our
famous running back during that game. That's part of the
reason why I think we lost. But yeah, hey, I
want the RSB too. I'll be in Las Vegas this Saturday,
so I look forward to beating the whole proof.

think they're gonna fire him. He'll still be there.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Anyway, look at the time, we're gonna have a double
dose of Eddie. But first I see some Eddie's buddies online.
Hello Eddie, Hi Eddie. But right now, let's get you
caught up on everything. Maybe you know what, I'll have
him do the introduction? Seria Sean?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Are you there, Siria Sean? Sean? Is he not listening?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Did he hang up? I was giving him his opportunity
to live his dream out? I plugged up there, I
put up the wrong line. Hold on, all right, hold on,
if Sean's there, the.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Sean would you like to do the official toss to Eddie?
Or the bottom of the hour update.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You want to do that, sure.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
Yeah, I'll do that for you.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
All right, go ahead, all right, now, why from the
tire Rex Studios, let's say hello to Eddie, who's going
to give us the latest on what's trending this out.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Also, remember Ben the going back to the Olympics. We
had that scandal with the drone spying for the Canadian
women's soccer team. The coach of that team ended up
getting fired over and the team was docked six points
at the start of the Olympics. But Canada actually ended
up making the medal round anyway. They beat Columbia one nothing.
(25:51):
They went three and ohero in the tournament or they're
off to a three and zero start and so despite
that punishment, they are in to the medal round.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Did Roger Goodell strow the tape?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I don't know about Todd.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We do not know. Did Jay Glazer have that report first?
Do we know if Glaser had that first?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm not sure about that either.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Probably not, Okay, the Jay Glazer of Canada had it first.
While eating poutine.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It is the Ben Mallor show as we are rollin' rollin', rollin', rollin'
rolling on and.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
No time for a fun fact because we have to
leave plenty of time for Eddie.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But first, Lorena has told me that if I don't
mention this to you, that I will not be able
to attend the Mala Meat and greet on Saturday because.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
He will behead me. So our thanks to Rapid Radios.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
We love our friends at Rapid Radios, the official communication
device of Fox Sports Radio. Rapid Radios are instant push
to talk walkie talkies.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
But check this out.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
They offer national LTE coverage and to me, this is
the most important part. No subscription for monthly fee. So
much of what we do you have to pay a
monthly fee. It's a it's very annoying. Business owners can
keep in touch with up to two hundred staff at
one time, and they are great for families as well.
(27:10):
Go to Rapid radios dot com now for sixty percent
off and free shipping ad code Radio and get an
extra five percent off. So my math tells me in
my head that's sixty five percent off. And if you
ever visit our mothership, the tai Iraq dot Com Fox
Sports radio studios. When you walk in and you turn
your head to the right, you will see an entire
(27:33):
wall of rapid.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Radios right there. Now.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
We're not allowed to touch them yet, but at some
point we're gonna be allowed to touch him, right Loreno,
at some point we'll be able to touch it.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
And I hope so.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Man, all right, she sa sounding very country right now.
But let's get you all the hockey back over, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I do have a hockey store. We'll see Bennie mack
and said, But here's Eddie, it's hockey season somewhere.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Talkfower all legs band.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
We start with Patrick Lining, one time forty goal scorer
in the NHL. He has been cleared to return from
the NHL NHLPA Player Assistance Program. Last played only eighteen
games this past season before getting injured, and then he
went into the assistance program. He started his career looking
like he could be a superstar. Scored thirty six and
(28:18):
then forty four goals in his first two seasons. Since then,
the last six season has only broken thirty goals once.
He's been injured as a lot as well, but still
looked at as a possible hot commodity. He did get
traded from Winnipeg to Columbus. Now is asking to be
traded again, so we'll see if eight team is willing
to take a chance on him. Still has a contract
that runs through twenty twenty five to twenty six and
he makes eight point seven.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Million dollars a year.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Teams interested in acquiring him had been told by the
Blue Jackets to talk to his agent. Philadelphia Flyers signed
All star Devincement Travis Connecty, actually all start forward Travis
Connecty eight year contract extension where seventy million dollars keeps
him under contract to the twenty thirty three season, will
make eight point seventy five million per season, and that
makes him the.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Highest paid Philadelphia Flyers player.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
And the Minnesota Wild signed young defenseman Brock Faber eight year,
sixty eight million dollar extension doesn't kick in until his
rookie contract expires in twenty twenty five to twenty six.
The twenty one year old finished second in the Rookie
Year voting by Connor Bdard. This past season, Caroline Hurricane
signed forward Martin Nags two years, thirteen million. He ever
requested a trade still possible, the team could move him,
(29:22):
but they did sign him to that two year extension.
Veteran NHL center Eric Stall signed a one day contract
with the Caroline Erricane so we could retire as a
member of the franchise that he originally broke in with,
won the Stanley Cup with in two thousand and six
and spent twelve seasons and was a captain of Theirs
for several years. Interesting story out of the hockey media.
I'm not sure if this is the story you were
(29:43):
referring to or not, but very respected and popular broadcaster
Jeff Merrick suddenly out at Sportsnet up in Canada. Kind
of some mysterious circumstances as to how this went down.
He was at the NHL Draft in Vegas and then
he suddenly left. Wasn't heard fromim for a few weeks.
I'm not saying he was, you know, lost or anything,
(30:04):
but he was on you know, he has a podcast
and he does and non social media and he kind
of went dark for a while. Uh, and then they
kind of announced it he's not going to be back.
So don't know if it was a contract issue, but
some mysterious.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Circumstances something having in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Man, I don't know sometimes what doesn't stay in Vegas?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Eddie. Well, it's good to know when we go to Vegas.
So not sure what happened to him.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
I'm sure I'll land somewhere very well respected and pretty talented.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
God, but kind of a surprising end there with him
and sports that Jeff Miller. All right, Ben, did you
have a hockey story?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I have a hockey story, Eddie, bad job by you,
A couple of guys when I back when I covered
hockey million years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Is this the movie?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah? Yes, minor league or the movie.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, he moves Solani when I had to cover the ducks,
I was forced to. He was astonish flash, great player,
amazing hockey player.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And Brett Hall. Yeah, I have teamed Brett Hall. Look
the aging a little bit, a little.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Bit time off.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, so there's a teaser. I think is it an
Amazon production?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Am I correct on that? I think I saw Amazon?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I I just saw the movie poster.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
If you will online for this, yeah, it's it will
be available to owner rent On. I guess today you
can see t Mussolani and Brett Hall their first movie
roles today, not.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Just a cameo. They're actually currently stars of this.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah. So the trailer was actually released a while back.
I didn't see the trailer when it was released, but
it's out today. Are you gonna watch the movie this weekend?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Eddie?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
This weekend?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But oh, I mean that's right.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, you see the Hockey News says it's a about
a minor league hockey player and whose team is purchased
by t Mussolani. Brett Hall catches wind of this, and
because of a beef the two have dating back to
the nineteen ninety three All Star Game in which a
Jeremy Ronick pull prank was blamed on Solani, he buys
(32:04):
another team in the same league just to get back.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Finish flash.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, well Jeremy Ronis mentioned. I like that. That's my buddy,
Jeremy Ronic.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
We do.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
On the On the Puck podcast, which is in his
eighteenth year of existence, we do the bad Hockey Movie
review pretty much every year.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
People love it.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
We've watched some god awful hockey movies, so I'm sure
this one will be on the list.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Well, what's your what's the worst hockey movie?
Speaker 6 (32:35):
There was one called Score the Hockey musical where they basically,
you know, like musicals usually have like songs written. This
is when they kind of just sang the dialogue, and
uh it was. It was just awful.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Slap shots the greatest way every hockey person I've noticed
a slap shot it is.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
But then there where the you know, the sequels to
slap shot, there was slap shot too.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I always saw the original wordfic. Hockey people like the
Mighty Ducks or hate the Mighty Ducks.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
It's too hokey for hockey. Yeah, we pretty much hate it.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah. It's like baseball people don't really like to field
the Dreams because they think it's like full crap.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Or whatever, or the Nashville they oh, it's not realistic enough,
you know. Anyway, all right, that's enough. It is the

of the Celtics had to get all dressed up. Ralph
Lauren provided him an outfit for the Olympics opening ceremonies.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
He was asked if he knew how to tie tie.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
He said that he learned from watching a young Jason Tatum. Apparently,
when Tatum was fifteen years old, the Celtics star uploaded
a video to the YouTube called tie a tie Unless
I made.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
That up, Stall, you gotta figure out which of these
stories isn't true.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Story number two, remember that Kermit the Frog Patrick mahomes
puppet at Raiders camp, a fan brought well the fan
and attendant said, wait a minute, this is valuable. So
went on eBay and is trying to sell it. Starting
bid just two hundred dollars. So if you're a Raider
fan you want to get that, go ahead of your
(37:46):
chief saying you can print it up. And story number three,
Elon Musk has agreed to fight. Well, he agreed months
ago to fight Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
That never happened.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Now he is agreed to fight the president of Venezuela. Yeah,
President Maduro called out Musca on National TV and Musk
accepted the offer unless he didn't. Those are the three stories.
Figure out which one isn't true. We'll start out with
Leslie and Bradenson Florida, The Power Couple Leslie, one Tour three.
Speaker 9 (38:13):

Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numeber fall, our four knocking on the door,
Happy August today, the first day of August. We were
up all night recording this podcast to give you marginal
audio content.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You can listen to on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
So here in hour number four, can you decode the
comments made by Mike Tomlin saying that the Steelers will
learn and grow from the training camp skirmish, very public
training camp skirmish that.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Took place this week.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also, what did Matthew Judan accomplish by denying the Patriots
offered him a new contract? And the NFL is going
to measure the line to gain with tech hawkeye technology
in the preseason. So where is that going. Try not
(00:53):
to get bogged down here. It is the stuff of nightmares.
It's our number four. Have a wonderful, wonderful day here.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It did.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
They are the black and yellow, but they are definitely
not mellow.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show,
we are in the air everywhere, flying the friendly audio
skies as we walk heavy coast to coast, port of
the border and beyond on the vast and unimaginably powerful
(01:33):
microphones of FSR amminating live from the yard, the Yacketyyackyard.
We're broadcasting live from the ty rack dot com studios.
Tyract dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
(01:54):
recommended in stars. Tyract dot com. The way tire buying
should be. My guy who's in Waterville, Maine. He ran
into Blair in Maine. He sent me a photo of
Blair in Maye and I think Blair and Maine's spirit
animal now is Robbie the Mariner fan.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That was great, Thank you, Jeff. I met Blair a
couple of years back. Blair's he's all grown up now,
He's all grown up. Our friend Blair, but our lead
this hour not about that. It is from the burg.
A viral, a viral a video clip from a slobber
knocker of a fight at pet Burn Steelers camp. Backup
(02:41):
quarterback Justin Fields was shoved by a Pittsburgh linebacker you've
never heard of after.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
A Reid option play.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Several offensive linemen took exception to the pushing and the shoving,
and that led the more pushing and shoving that took
place between the offense and the defense. Now, my Mike
Tomlin addressed this rhubarb that took place in the video
went viral. So I don't you heard what he said
or not? I'll give you the thumbnail recap. Mike Tomlin said, quote,
(03:12):
this is a teachable moment. As much as we hate it,
we'll learn and grow from that. He said, do you
give the standard answer? So I wanted to talk about
this the question can you decode what Mike Tomlin is
really saying regarding the Steelers needing to learn and grow
from the training camp skirmish. So I've got Beverly Hills,
(03:36):
cop proxy war, and VHS and we are going to
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a pizzapaya is what we're going to make
now to kick off.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
We love Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I can't wait to get into the meat and potatoes
of the NFL season because I will gear ontee you
that Mike tom is going to provide us with multiple.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Mal of monologues.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The guy is a quotamatic, right he is. Just give
him ten seconds. He'll give you a great quote. But
Tomlin on this one, he's using a disinformation campaign. Right,
this is he said it's a teachable moment. It isn't
a teachable moment. It's not And Tomlin knows that. He's
just saying that. It's part of the circle of life.
(04:26):
In training camp, I appreciated more what the Miami Dolphins
were saying. The Dolphins were like, yeah, we gotta fight
more Like one of the players on the Dolphins got
up the.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Said, we gotta fight. We gotta be bullies, right, we
gotta be both.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And it's the abcson, the one two threes of training camp.
Just like rookies struggling, throwing interceptions and certain players not
playing well, it's all part of it. It's all how
they make the hot dogs and players and coaches changing
body blows. The hodown that Ta places is part of
(05:01):
the deal. It's the time of the year. You queue
up the tune from Beverly Hills cop. It was a
Glen Fry tune from Beverly Hills cop. The heat is on, right,
it's the hottest part of the year. Right. The late July,
August and even into September in some place is very hot.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Right. Some are fun and under the sun. And Tomlin
knows a thing or two, because he's seen a thing
or two regarding this.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And one of my favorite quotes for Mike Tomlin is
he said he is fundamentally against comfort. So part of
not being comfortable is getting into fights.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
During training camp.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Now, another thing that is part of training camp is
players complaining about their contract.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It seems like everyone's gotten paid. But we'll stop in
New England.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Now, another update on Matthew Judan, the Patriot linebacker. When
last week talked about this cat, he was getting into
a shouting match with Gerard Mayo as coach. Well, now
the Patriot linebacker. They're continuing. They're very public back and
forth here.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
They're dispute over.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The contract and things got a little darker. This all
started because of the athletics. Diana Rossini behind a paywaft
the old Gray Lady there and reported that the team
made an offer to Matthew Judan after he missed practice
the other day.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, that wasn't true. How do we know that? We
know that because Matthew Judan said that was not the case.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
He said, quote, no they haven't, but it makes me
look bad again. Judon complained on social media. Don't believe
the lies all right, So he called Diana Rassini a liar.
So what did Matthew Judon accomplish other than calling Diana
Rossini a liar by denying the Patriots offer that d
(07:00):
said didn't happen on a new contract. So here's what
he did. I get this all figured out. It's man
versus the machine. And in the head of Matthew Judon
that cartoon bubble over his head.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
This is a proxy war.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
The Patriots are using proxies in the media, Diana Rusini, right,
They're feeding her and other people information.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And Matthew Judon is.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
In the bunker of social media and he's lobbing out
hand grenades. He's cutting out the middle man and refuting
the report, and he's doing everything he can, everything he
can to leave the Patriots. He wants one last payday.
Clearly he wants to enter the transfer portal and relocate.
(07:49):
And at this point the Patriots have not genuflected to
his desires. They don't seem very motivated to keep him.
I don't blame them. It's very odd what.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
New England has done.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
They've resigned number of players on a team that was
absolutely dog food last year. They were horrible doesn't make
a lot of sense to me. But I don't run
the Patriots. I'm not that close to them. But then
the other thing is this Judon thing. You don't want
to pay him. By the time the Patriots are any
good again, he'll be too old, as we said in
(08:19):
a previous episode of the show. So you might as
well trade him. I trade him to the Lions or
the forty nine ers or somewhere like that, whether they
think they're on the doorstep of winning a Super Bowl. Right,
last thing here we head now to the tech world.
You think technology, you think overnight sports radio. So the
NFL did announce if you missed it, we talked about
a little bit earlier, but I want to follow up
(08:40):
on it. The NFL announced this week that they will
utilize the ie Hawk. It's not a real hawk, it's
the Sony Eye Hawk technology in a handful of exhibition games.
The exhibition season begins tonight with the Hall of Fame game,
where there will be no Hall of Famers playing in
the game because Starter or a boton for the Texans
(09:01):
and the Bears. But the Hawkeye technology not in the
Hall of Fame game, but a number of games this
summer and they're testing the viability. They're doing all the
measurements and all that and putting these things in stadiums
to measure the line to gain for first downs. So
we'll sum it up like this, the NFL going to
(09:22):
measure lined again with this new hawkeye technology. Where is
this going, right, So where it's going it's telegraphed rights,
it's the chain gang will not be the chain.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Gang as you know it. They're certainly an endangered species.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
They're going to go the way of the payphone and
the VHS tape, a relic of the past, and within
five years and likely less than five years, the NFL
is going to add these gizmos and gadgets. It's going
to become normal, just like robot umpires are coming to baseball.
But the the rumor is that, from what we've heard,
(10:02):
the plan, much like in baseball, they're going to have
robot umpires calling balls and strikes, but they're still going
to put a human being there who's like an actor
who's just relaying through an earpiece what the computer tells them,
like in baseball, be oh, that's a ball, that's a strike,
and then they just have to repeat that so visually
it'll look the same. I've heard in football they're going
(10:24):
to keep the chain yang as a backup, and because
it's part of it's ingrained in American football that you
need that, and so it's part of the experience to
have a bunch of guys in their sixties and the
seventies stand on the sidelines and futs around with the chain.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So they'll leave it, but it'll.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Only really be used in case of some kind of
snaffoo with the technology. But this is another one of
those dramatic moments in sports that will be lost to technology.
It'll be a race from the NFL and future generation
since we'll not get to enjoy what we've gotten to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
What am I talking about. I'm talking about a.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Fourth in inches, close game, playoff game, fourth quarter, the
ball is spotted by the referee, the old guys waddle
out from the chain game, and there's that pause where
the referee extends the chain. Did the ball cross where
(11:25):
the chain is or not. It's a heart pounding moment,
and you won't get it will not be the same
because they'll just have some laser upstairs. Well first down
like that, right, and some Poindexter in the press box.
Poindexter press box guy will decide what's going on, just
like in baseball, balls.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And strikes, there's some drama.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
One of my favorite memories of incompetence by an umpire
was this guy named Eric Greg No longer around, but
Eric Greg in an NLCS game against the Atlanta Braves
and the Marlins and Braves had a strike zone that
went from Miami to Cuba and probably beyond Cuba. It
(12:08):
was insane and I still still recall that back in
the day. But I'm sure with this technology, no one
is going to meddle.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
No, It's impossible to meddle with technology, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's like remember a couple of weeks ago when so
many businesses were shut down because of a glitch involving
the Internet. Yeah, like that could never happens. Things like
that could never happen with the Hawkeye or whatever they're
calling it in baseball, just so we're on the same wavelength,
would never ever ever happen. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 7 (15:20):
Long time they'll see or talk.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Have you recovered.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I feel like all you guys are coming out of
the woodwork after what happened to the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now you're recovered from that.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
I was in a deep depression. Now I'm looking forward
to new season. I'm going to a green Bay in
Miami this year, and I got my hotel on Miami
Beach near Lincoln Road. So I hope to meet the
the weed Man hippie. Hopefully he's not in jail when
I go.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, you might be able to meet him.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You'll probably have to bail him out of jail to
meet him, but he will be He will be incarcerated mostly.
He's still in jail. He's been in for like a
trespassing violation.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
He's still in there. It's wild.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah, before I forget, I wanted to say hello to
Lorena and I have a request for her. They need Hey,
if you could bring back a couple of drops. There's
one where Ben Maller says he blew me off at
a hotel near La.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
No, nobody wants to hear that one. Nobody wants to
hear that. It's like listen, It's like they don't listen
to the show. And then they're like, oh, you don't
ever play this. Now she's complaining, or Neesta, you've got
her complaining.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But arnessa, before you say the other drop, I still
have the thing you sent me. So we'll have to
make another bet this year. We'll have to find a
way to make a bet.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Okay, that's you and I still need to pay off
my end of that bet.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
So wet we made we made.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You lost a bet to Carson Wentz, who was the
Rams quarterback in week seventeen or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
He blew me off.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Yeah that that damn Shanahan didn't want to play our
famous running back during that game. That's part of the
reason why I think we lost. But yeah, hey, I
want the RSB too. I'll be in Las Vegas this Saturday,
so I look forward to beating the whole proof.

I would like to earn a golden ticket.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Well you don't.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You don't just ask for a golden ticket. You have
to earn a golden ticket. You have to win a
game on the show.

Oh you don't. We just give those things out.
Speaker 9 (19:03):
Fair enough, fair enough.

I would have fired them five years ago. I don't
think they're gonna fire him. He'll still be there.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Anyway, look at the time, we're gonna have a double
dose of Eddie. But first I see some Eddie's buddies online.
Hello Eddie, Hi Eddie. But right now, let's get you
caught up on everything. Maybe you know what, I'll have
him do the introduction? Seria Sean?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Are you there, Siria Sean? Sean? Is he not listening?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Did he hang up? I was giving him his opportunity
to live his dream out? I plugged up there, I
put up the wrong line. Hold on, all right, hold on,
if Sean's there, the.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Sean would you like to do the official toss to Eddie?
Or the bottom of the hour update.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You want to do that, sure.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
Yeah, I'll do that for you.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
All right, go ahead, all right, now, why from the
tire Rex Studios, let's say hello to Eddie, who's going
to give us the latest on what's trending this out.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Also, remember Ben the going back to the Olympics. We
had that scandal with the drone spying for the Canadian
women's soccer team. The coach of that team ended up
getting fired over and the team was docked six points
at the start of the Olympics. But Canada actually ended
up making the medal round anyway. They beat Columbia one nothing.
(25:51):
They went three and ohero in the tournament or they're
off to a three and zero start and so despite
that punishment, they are in to the medal round.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Did Roger Goodell strow the tape?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I don't know about Todd.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
We do not know. Did Jay Glazer have that report first?
Do we know if Glaser had that first?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm not sure about that either.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Probably not, Okay, the Jay Glazer of Canada had it first.
While eating poutine.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It is the Ben Mallor show as we are rollin' rollin', rollin', rollin'
rolling on and.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
No time for a fun fact because we have to
leave plenty of time for Eddie.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But first, Lorena has told me that if I don't
mention this to you, that I will not be able
to attend the Mala Meat and greet on Saturday because.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
He will behead me. So our thanks to Rapid Radios.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
We love our friends at Rapid Radios, the official communication
device of Fox Sports Radio. Rapid Radios are instant push
to talk walkie talkies.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
But check this out.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
They offer national LTE coverage and to me, this is
the most important part. No subscription for monthly fee. So
much of what we do you have to pay a
monthly fee. It's a it's very annoying. Business owners can
keep in touch with up to two hundred staff at
one time, and they are great for families as well.

(27:33):
wall of rapid.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Radios right there. Now.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
We're not allowed to touch them yet, but at some
point we're gonna be allowed to touch him, right Loreno,
at some point we'll be able to touch it.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
And I hope so.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Man, all right, she sa sounding very country right now.
But let's get you all the hockey back over, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I do have a hockey store. We'll see Bennie mack
and said, But here's Eddie, it's hockey season somewhere.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Talkfower all legs band.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
We start with Patrick Lining, one time forty goal scorer
in the NHL. He has been cleared to return from
the NHL NHLPA Player Assistance Program. Last played only eighteen
games this past season before getting injured, and then he
went into the assistance program. He started his career looking
like he could be a superstar. Scored thirty six and
(28:18):
then forty four goals in his first two seasons. Since then,
the last six season has only broken thirty goals once.
He's been injured as a lot as well, but still
looked at as a possible hot commodity. He did get
traded from Winnipeg to Columbus. Now is asking to be
traded again, so we'll see if eight team is willing
to take a chance on him. Still has a contract
that runs through twenty twenty five to twenty six and
he makes eight point seven.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Million dollars a year.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Teams interested in acquiring him had been told by the
Blue Jackets to talk to his agent. Philadelphia Flyers signed
All star Devincement Travis Connecty, actually all start forward Travis
Connecty eight year contract extension where seventy million dollars keeps
him under contract to the twenty thirty three season, will
make eight point seventy five million per season, and that
makes him the.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Highest paid Philadelphia Flyers player.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
And the Minnesota Wild signed young defenseman Brock Faber eight year,
sixty eight million dollar extension doesn't kick in until his
rookie contract expires in twenty twenty five to twenty six.
The twenty one year old finished second in the Rookie
Year voting by Connor Bdard. This past season, Caroline Hurricane
signed forward Martin Nags two years, thirteen million. He ever
requested a trade still possible, the team could move him,
(29:22):
but they did sign him to that two year extension.
Veteran NHL center Eric Stall signed a one day contract
with the Caroline Erricane so we could retire as a
member of the franchise that he originally broke in with,
won the Stanley Cup with in two thousand and six
and spent twelve seasons and was a captain of Theirs
for several years. Interesting story out of the hockey media.
I'm not sure if this is the story you were
(29:43):
referring to or not, but very respected and popular broadcaster
Jeff Merrick suddenly out at Sportsnet up in Canada. Kind
of some mysterious circumstances as to how this went down.
He was at the NHL Draft in Vegas and then
he suddenly left. Wasn't heard fromim for a few weeks.
I'm not saying he was, you know, lost or anything,
(30:04):
but he was on you know, he has a podcast
and he does and non social media and he kind
of went dark for a while. Uh, and then they
kind of announced it he's not going to be back.
So don't know if it was a contract issue, but
some mysterious.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Circumstances something having in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Man, I don't know sometimes what doesn't stay in Vegas?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Eddie. Well, it's good to know when we go to Vegas.
So not sure what happened to him.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
I'm sure I'll land somewhere very well respected and pretty talented.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
God, but kind of a surprising end there with him
and sports that Jeff Miller. All right, Ben, did you
have a hockey story?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I have a hockey story, Eddie, bad job by you,
A couple of guys when I back when I covered
hockey million years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Is this the movie?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah? Yes, minor league or the movie.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, he moves Solani when I had to cover the ducks,
I was forced to. He was astonish flash, great player,
amazing hockey player.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And Brett Hall. Yeah, I have teamed Brett Hall. Look
the aging a little bit, a little.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Bit time off.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, so there's a teaser. I think is it an
Amazon production?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Am I correct on that? I think I saw Amazon?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I I just saw the movie poster.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
If you will online for this, yeah, it's it will
be available to owner rent On. I guess today you
can see t Mussolani and Brett Hall their first movie
roles today, not.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Just a cameo. They're actually currently stars of this.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah. So the trailer was actually released a while back.
I didn't see the trailer when it was released, but
it's out today. Are you gonna watch the movie this weekend?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Eddie?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
This weekend?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But oh, I mean that's right.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, you see the Hockey News says it's a about
a minor league hockey player and whose team is purchased
by t Mussolani. Brett Hall catches wind of this, and
because of a beef the two have dating back to
the nineteen ninety three All Star Game in which a
Jeremy Ronick pull prank was blamed on Solani, he buys
(32:04):
another team in the same league just to get back.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Finish flash.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, well Jeremy Ronis mentioned. I like that. That's my buddy,
Jeremy Ronic.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
We do.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
On the On the Puck podcast, which is in his
eighteenth year of existence, we do the bad Hockey Movie
review pretty much every year.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
People love it.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
We've watched some god awful hockey movies, so I'm sure
this one will be on the list.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Well, what's your what's the worst hockey movie?
Speaker 6 (32:35):
There was one called Score the Hockey musical where they basically,
you know, like musicals usually have like songs written. This
is when they kind of just sang the dialogue, and
uh it was. It was just awful.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Slap shots the greatest way every hockey person I've noticed
a slap shot it is.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
But then there where the you know, the sequels to
slap shot, there was slap shot too.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I always saw the original wordfic. Hockey people like the
Mighty Ducks or hate the Mighty Ducks.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
It's too hokey for hockey. Yeah, we pretty much hate it.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah. It's like baseball people don't really like to field
the Dreams because they think it's like full crap.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Or whatever, or the Nashville they oh, it's not realistic enough,
you know. Anyway, all right, that's enough. It is the
