This is the best of the Ben Malor Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And just like that, we are underway. The flag us
off on fake football. The real football will start in
a month. We had fake bogus football on Thursday, not
even a full game, and we will have NFL football
all the way until just about Valentine's Day. Well come
(00:55):
in the beginning of another night of the Ben Malor Show. Oh,
we are in the air everywhere using audio frequency we are.
We go from our hot take kitchen right into your

(01:46):
Bourbon Badger spent ten thousand minutes excited about tonight's show.
I don't know why, but he did point out, no
matter rain, no matter bad weather, the Malord Show goes on.
The Only thing that can stop the Malord Show is gremlins.
That's about it. Other than that, we're good. Hibernation has
(02:08):
come and gone. It's a big night. We'll talk about
the Mallard meet and get we're doing. Tomorrow is our
Friday show coming up in a bit, will, of course
hour ourselves out and promote that all night. But our
lead this hour from Canton, Ohio, the Holy Line of
pro football. That is where the cemetery of football is,
and if you're lucky enough to be enshrined, you can
(02:29):
rest there forever. It's kind of cooler than a cemetery, right,
people actually visit it. Most people don't visit cemeteries. So
the curtain went up. The twenty twenty four exhibition season
is underway. The flag is up. We saw the Bears
getting a lot of love and the Texans, couple of
teams that are projected by the punnits to go up,
(02:52):
up and away, and they're backups duked it out the game,
as you might imagine, not much of a talker. In fact,
they didn't even play a full game. It ended prematurely
in the third quarter because of inclement weather. Like to
point out, that's something that's changed in my lifetime. There
was a point that no thunder, no rain, no lightning
(03:14):
could stop our gladiators. That happened for generations, and then
liability lawyers got involved and all of a sudden, everyone
run for cover, running for cover, take shelter immediately. All right,
that the big talking point is not the game, right
the game? Here's about the game. Who won the game?
The bear like, yes did they? Does it qualify as
(03:35):
a win? They didn't finish the game. But the new
kickoff rule, which we saw for the first time in
an NFL venue. I don't know if you were watching
this or not, the maiden voyage of the they're calling
it the dynamic kickoff. Now what does that mean? Let
me try to explain this to you in thirty seconds
or less. So the kicker lines up normally, the other
(03:57):
ten players on the kicking team must now line up
on the receiving team's forty yard line. The receiving team
has to have at least nine players lined up between
their thirty five and thirty yard line. You keep the track,
and then there's seven of the nine players must have
at least one foot on the thirty five yard line. Okay,
(04:17):
but wait, there's more. As many as two members of
said receiving team are allowed are allowed to line up
anywhere inside the twenty yard line. They call that the
landing zone. Ooh, good name. Landing zone. It's like the
splash zone when you go to the water park to
return the kick. Now it's the NFL's mandate. It is
(04:39):
being used in theory. I say that in air quotes
in theory to decrease injuries, which means decrease possible payouts
down the line. It's called down the line liability or
downstream liability, and to incentivize teams to return kicks instead
of settling for the touchbacks, because the ball would you
go to the thirty yard line. So let us discuss
(05:02):
the question, what are your opening foughts. You've now seen it.
I assume you've seen it. Maybe you didn't watch the game,
but you watched it on social media the clip, So
what are your thoughts when you saw it? The dynamic kickoff?
So I've got a GPS, breakfast combo, and floppy discs
and we will combine all of these things together and
(05:27):
we are going to make paint dry watching paint dry,
which is kind of like watching backups for the Bears
and backups for the Texans. But we'll get to that
in a second. In terms of my initial thoughts, my
knee jerk reaction to the kickoff, don't like it. Not
a fan, right, My reaction is meh, It's a meh play, right,
(05:49):
And I know it's a copycat thing. The NFL copied
the XFL, which is the highest form of flattery that
they're ripping off the XFL. The way I look at it,
you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
But I've heard that before, probably going up, somebody told
you that this is not the answer. The GPS on
this play is set to the quiet suburban community of
(06:11):
Dollsville based on what I've seen, small sample size, but
she hit the snooze button. Now we'll give it more time.
We're not making our final final analysis on this, but
at this point my initial thought is it's a map
play and typically does take around sixty six days to
(06:33):
get used to something new, whether it's a diet, whether
it's a new home or car or something like that.
That's the duration now, but it can go up to
like two hundred and fifty something days. It just depends
on the individual. So my gut though after seeing this,
I know it was back of wold give me a
chance it was back if you work for the NFL.
My gut tells me this is not the answer and
(06:54):
this will not be around all that long now, Page two.
How was the over all product at the Hall of
Fame game between the Bears and the Texas so as anticipated?
As expected from what I saw, I ancy the whole thing,
(07:15):
but the two and a half quarters they had seven
penalties and four fumbles the teams combined for in two
and a half quarters. That's on brand, Like we have
a ritual. We've talked about this from time to time.
But what I do is, in this case, I watched
the open with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman the Fox
Refugees over on ABC. That got my blood flowing a
(07:36):
little bit, so my blood started flowing. Probably you two.
And then when they were done, I consumed the opening
kickoff because I wanted to see what everyone was talking
about and all that. So then I watched a few
plays and then I looked at the menu and the
menu said breakfast combo, and I said, oh, I ordered
the breakfast combo. That's milk coast, a side of overcooked
plain oatmeal, and then you get a bowl of cheerios,
(07:57):
but you don't get any milk or no fruit. That's
the meal. Right, you had Davis Mills for Houston versus
Tyson Beagent of Chicago. Riveting must see television unless it's not.
It was obviously humdrum, and they know it's garbage. They
know it's garbage. So these Hall of Fame broadcasts, what
(08:18):
they end up doing trying to keep the audience is
they go down memory lane. Let's float down memory lane.
La la la la, la la la. And they interviewed
a bunch of Hall of famers and hope you don't
notice the actual game. Now, last word here, where is
all of this heading? This is just the beginning. There'll
be a bunch of NFL exhibition games. Over the next
(08:41):
few weeks here, But where is the NFL headed for
these exhibition games. So we are in the final days
of these practice games, and they will go the way
of the floppy disc and the iPod. And even if
you're a Pollyanna type person, you're gonna have to agree
(09:01):
because exhibition football is on the list. It's on the
endangered species list. It is at risk of extinction, and
no one's gonna complain when it's gone. The fans get
screwed over because it's a bad product. The players don't
like it, the coaches don't like it because guys get hurt,
the guys that do play, and it's bad television even
(09:23):
though people seem to tune in because they're zombies. But
the owners are gonna use this as a bargaining chip
eventually within the next couple of years, where we get
to eighteen games. We're seventeen now, the spotlight will be
on this. We're gonna get to eighteen games. The next frontier,
which is at the final frontier in our lives, maybe
will be twenty games. So the plan, whether it's to
get to eighteen or get to twenty, would be we're
(09:45):
gonna drop the dress rehearsals and just play extra real game.
So eventually they'll get to eighteen and then they'll say
we'll give you an extra buy. So then to get
to twenty, they'll say, we're gonna get rid of the
exhibition games and we'll throw in a third by week,
so it'll be a twenty three week season. We get
three weeks off and no exhibition games. And I was
(10:07):
told this a few years back, that the plan is
to get rid of the exhibition games because the stars
don't want to play in it. In a more controlled environment,
you will have more joint practices, training camp scrimmages where
they bring in officials, and that is what's going to
replace this iesore, this blight on the landscape, these exhibition games.
Speaker 2 (10:26):

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Hey I'm Doug Gottli. The podcast is called All Ball.
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, we tell
you stories.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I think you like it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Listen to All Ball with Doug Gotlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It is a power outage. Well come, in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are
in the air everywhere on the River of life as
we celebrate old country sports radio traditions coast to coast,
(11:28):
border the border, and beyond. All the beast and rightfully
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the Tonic,
the Talk Tonic. We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot
com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get there
and unmatch selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection
(11:54):
and over ten thousand recommended installers. It's been almost ten
thousand days since credit Card Gordon called the show tire
rack dot Com the Way Tire Buying Show be and
our lead this hour, play the hit small Man, play
the hits from Pro Football. We go to the Bolt
(12:14):
where they have a pizza oven shaped like a helmet
and they eat Wolfgang Puck. It's almost like they've won
a bunch. They haven't. There was a power Eyders. That
took place. Now, if you didn't hear about this, maybe not.
We learned that the Chargers starting quarterback Justin Herbert, Snap,
crackle pop. Now he's being listed as week to week,
(12:35):
aren't we all with a foot injury. The injury is
to the right foot of Justin Herbert. The Chargers are saying,
it's not that big a deal, but he's going to
be in a booty. And when you're in a booty,
and we're not talking about booty, you're in a booty,
that's a problem. So there's gonna have a boot for
the next couple of weeks at least. And then they
(12:56):
say that he will eventually slowly return. They'll slowly ramp
up his return. Now, despite the injury, the Chargers are
hopeful that's a weasel term. They're hopeful that Justin Herbert
will be ready for Week one, when the Raiders get
to play that extra home game in La Raiders and Chargers,
(13:19):
it's on like Donkey Kong at Sofi in the Hood
in Inglewood, and the Raiders and Charges alten up the
season in week one. So I would say, don't hold
your breath. Easton's stick is warming up in the back
there the fifth round pick from North Dakota State. He
is the backup job option for the Chargers. So let
us discuss the question. Justin Herbert going down, down, down
(13:43):
for the Bolts. Give me your reaction. So I've got
Jim Nance, Battle of the Bulge and Gus Buss and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a honey wagon, which is what
the swimmers in Pere we're swimming through the Paris Olympics
(14:04):
there the other day, swimming through the honey wagon, the
back of a honeywagon. If you don't know what a
honeywagon is, look it up all right now, num berwa.
So all of the blood, sweat and tears of training
camp and here we are as the Chargers have done
it again. You could say a tough break or sprain
(14:27):
for the Bolts that they know a thing or two
about injuries. The Chargers, I believe, are gussing up the
status pouring sugar on top. This is a box checking
exercise for us. It's a box checking exercise because you
can now mark the box that a starting quarterback has
(14:48):
been dinged up prior to the start of the regular season,
and Jim Nantz can remind you that it is a
tradition unlike any other. For Justin Herbert, it stinks, it's
l stinko. However, he will be back at some point, right,
I'll be Benny Bright's a right, there is a silver
(15:08):
lining here. And what is the silver lining? If you're
Justin Herbert, he want to check the back pocket. Now.
The reason you want to check the back pocket is
because right there there's a monopoly card. If you take
the monopoly card out, yeah, that's it. Take it out,
and then you look at the monopoly card. Okay, it's
a get out of jail free card. So you've got
that right. And so Herbert has freedom because if he
(15:33):
goes out there and stinks, poops the bed, he can
just pull out of his back pocket the monopoly card.
It's about I was hurt, missed most of camp. Sorry,
that's what happened. It's not my fault. Shrug his shoulder.
If he plays well, it's like, oh what a gladiator.
He overcame an amazing setback and he played great football.
(15:55):
So he has an alibi if he sucks. That's what
I'm saying now. Page two are staying with the same
theme with the Chargers. Where does this injury to Justin
Herbert leave Jim Harbaugh in his first season back in
the NFL with the Chargers. So after a minute long
analysis of what's going on with the Chargers, is not
(16:17):
being stuck in a pickle jar Jim Harbaugh? What if
I told you he's not worried? Like everything that we
are hearing from people that are in the know is
that there's a priority to change the culture in LA.
With the Chargers, it's the battle of the bulge for
Jim Harbough. I'll bet you that those khaki pants a
(16:41):
little chubby, little chubby. With Justin Herbert nursing an injury,
the Chargers and their offensive coordinator Greg Roman can now
focus on physicality. Now, backup, we mentioned the backup Easton Stick,
who is more than capable not a throwing three touchdown
passes a game that's not gonna happen, but he can
(17:04):
certainly take three steps back and turn to his right
or his left and hand the ball off ground and
pound would be the way to go. And everyone at
the top right now of the Charger's depth chart is
an ex poet. They love poetry. They love former poets.
Greg Roman is a former poet there in Baltimore. But
they've got the gust Buss, Gus Bradley and JK. Rollins,
(17:29):
who are the top running backs right there, and so
old Ravens right there until they need an ambulance to
be taken off the field. But they are the focal
point of the backfield. And Jim Harball wants to slow
the game down and old school style. Can that work
for a West Coast dome team. It works in the Northeast,
(17:52):
it works in the Midwest for outdoor cold weather teams.
It's traditionally worked in those environments. But has it worked
if you're playing that style where you cut down in
the amount of times that you pass and you just
hand the ball off most of the time, can that
win you ten or eleven games? Because unless this is
(18:14):
some kind of deep fake, unless this is some kind
of Shenanigans, and Jim Harball and all the people that
are around the Chargers are pulling our chain here, that's
exactly what's gonna happen. That they're just gonna slow the
game down and hand the ball off, and that's what
they're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Final point We're gonna go to court, a massive win
for the big guy and a kick in the nuts
from the oligarchy of football to the little guy. We
talked about this story in a previous episode of the show.
We now have a Mallard follow up. Remember that lawsuit
where the NFL was danged four point seven billion dollars
(18:53):
worth a federal judge throughout throughout that verdict, the four
point seven billion dollar jury verdict against the NFL, and
that Sunday ticket case where the NFL was screwing over
their customers by the way they were doing business on
Sunday Ticket. Now, the lawsuit included two point four million
(19:16):
residential subscribers, about forty eight thousand businesses in the United
States that all would have been eligible to get a
check if you paid for the direct TV package out
of market games. And that was over an eleven year
period from twenty eleven to twenty twenty two. So give
me your school of thought on the NFL scoring a
(19:37):
major win on appeal. So my thought, and we'd talked
about this, and we've been very open about these legal cases.
The NFL often finds themselves in court because they've got
a lot of money and so people sue people that
have a lot of money. But this is the NFL's
calling card. You just keep appealing until you find a
(19:59):
judge that is simpath to the shield. The rich get richer, right,
the poor get poorer. In this case, two point four
million men, women and children could have gotten a check.
It wouldn't have been a lot. It would have been
a few shekels, even though it's four point seven billion.
Now it is likely, though, that we're not over with this,
(20:20):
that this story is not going to go He said, well, well,
wait a minute. The judge issued in favor of the NFL. Yeah,
so you've got two judges, one issued in favor of
the working man, another ruled in favor of the bureaucracy
of football. So they'll likely appeal. The plaintiffs will appeal
again to the Ninth Circuit Court, and looking into my
(20:42):
crystal ball, as a distant relative of no su Damas
and friend of no studinas, they will win again. The
plaintiffs will win, the people will win. But it's a
cat and mouse game. So the NFL what are they
gonna do. They're gonna go back to their calling card.
They're going to appeal and they'll find a judge that
wants tickets in a luxury box, or wants the experience
(21:05):
of taking their kids out to NFL practice and as
much NFL merch as they want, and then they'll win that,
and then they'll go to a higher court, and up, up, up,
and away we go.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Go ahead, hit the music. It's Mallard. How about that
to the third degree? I'm protesting, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
This is one big event. Gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Kobalt.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
So it was thought that the Cavaliers would trade some
of their big pieces this offseason, but instead they've signed
them all to extensions. Senator Jared Allen was the latest
to sign a max extension with the team, joining Donovan
Mitchell and Evan Mobley. Ben, do you think running it
back is the right move by Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yes, there'll be a playoff team. They'll lose in the
first round of the playoffs, and they'll sell tickets and
they'll create I am blown away by this. Everything I
heard was that Donovan Mitchell wasn't gonna be back. They
end up having to get rid of him, and they
have been mobile thing. I don't think he's a shock,
but they in general pulled the crazy ivan in Cleveland
(22:11):
Strip Club. John somewhere in Cleveland's like, what's going on here?
What's up with that? I don't understand. But they're gonna
be a playoff team in the East. But I don't
see them closing the gap. I know they changed coaches,
but I'm not buying it.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Next, John Morant's agent had a warning for the rest
of the league this week. He said, John Morant is
coming for all the work this year, all of it.
How soon they forget, That's all I'll say. He's about
to come for it. Ben, Do you think John Morant
will be able to regain his pre gun incident superstar status?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
No, they're talking to talk. You gotta walk the walk.
Just keep your nose clean, keep your gun empty. That's
all you have to do.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Next, I don't really have time to read this, man,
So yeah, I'm gonna I'm just gonna fail you right now.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Has no way of shortening or question. It's fascinating, all right,
there it is. I win.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
All right, Ben, Well, obviously, if you're anybody who's anybody,
you're gonna be busy this weekend at the Malord Meet and.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Greets Vegas, number one social event, maybe the worst of
all those clubs. Everyone wants to be there.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
But if you're if you're not somebody that is you know,
fortunate enough to be able to meet us there, and
you're gonna be stuck at home. I'll let you know
some things that you can check out. First off, in
theaters this weekend is a new movie from m Night Sham.
It is called Trap and it stars Josh Hartnett, and
(31:04):
it is about a father and a teen daughter who
attend a pop concert where they realize they're at the
center of a dark and sinister event. And so far
this one is not being received by the critics very well,
but it's got a good audience score, so you know,
take take that as you will, but check it out
for yourself.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
That is in theaters right now.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
It is called Trap. And then moving over to television,
this is Apropos, but premiere is already premiered on Prime Video.
We've got Batman, The Caped Crusader.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Are you kidding me? Yeah, let's go new series.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Loraina hates men that he's not gonna go. Come on, Loreena,
you said you hate Batman?
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Really, my gosh, we get matching Batman tattoos in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
All right, So this is the latest animated Batman series.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Oh, I like animated, I like the animated Yeah, And.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
This one is produced by jj Abrams and the co
creator of the original nineteen nineties Fox series Batman the Anime.
It's not the original, but the Batman the animated series
back in the nineties, the one that everybody loved and
was you know, smash hit. And basically this was supposed
to be on HBO Max and then some cost cutting
(32:22):
led them to drop it, so it was acquired by Amazon.
And it's got a noir ish feel with a nineteen
forties setting to match, and a couple of famous voices
in this one, like Christina Ricci and John Demaggia Mini
Driver and Hamish link Later is the voice of Batman.
(32:43):
So that is available right now on Prime Video. It's
got good reviews so far. I wanted to mention this
quickly for Eddie because he's the only person that I
know that watched this and enjoyed it. Rebel Moon the
Netflix movie.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I like the first part better than this sucker part.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Well, they are releasing the R rated director's cuts and
those are available on Netflix right now. And also there's
tons of stuff that have to you know, have links
to the show coming out this weekend. Also available on

But it's a SpongeBob SquarePants movie. Ye, yes, that is
the Saving Bikini Bottom, the Sandy Cheeks movie. Yeah, you're right.

even a full game, and we will have NFL football
all the way until just about Valentine's Day. Well come
(00:55):
in the beginning of another night of the Ben Malor Show. Oh,
we are in the air everywhere using audio frequency we are.
We go from our hot take kitchen right into your

(01:46):
Bourbon Badger spent ten thousand minutes excited about tonight's show.
I don't know why, but he did point out, no
matter rain, no matter bad weather, the Malord Show goes on.
The Only thing that can stop the Malord Show is gremlins.
That's about it. Other than that, we're good. Hibernation has
(02:08):
come and gone. It's a big night. We'll talk about
the Mallard meet and get we're doing. Tomorrow is our
Friday show coming up in a bit, will, of course
hour ourselves out and promote that all night. But our
lead this hour from Canton, Ohio, the Holy Line of
pro football. That is where the cemetery of football is,
and if you're lucky enough to be enshrined, you can
(02:29):
rest there forever. It's kind of cooler than a cemetery, right,
people actually visit it. Most people don't visit cemeteries. So
the curtain went up. The twenty twenty four exhibition season
is underway. The flag is up. We saw the Bears
getting a lot of love and the Texans, couple of
teams that are projected by the punnits to go up,
(02:52):
up and away, and they're backups duked it out the game,
as you might imagine, not much of a talker. In fact,
they didn't even play a full game. It ended prematurely
in the third quarter because of inclement weather. Like to
point out, that's something that's changed in my lifetime. There
was a point that no thunder, no rain, no lightning
(03:14):
could stop our gladiators. That happened for generations, and then
liability lawyers got involved and all of a sudden, everyone
run for cover, running for cover, take shelter immediately. All right,
that the big talking point is not the game, right
the game? Here's about the game. Who won the game?
The bear like, yes did they? Does it qualify as
(03:35):
a win? They didn't finish the game. But the new
kickoff rule, which we saw for the first time in
an NFL venue. I don't know if you were watching
this or not, the maiden voyage of the they're calling
it the dynamic kickoff. Now what does that mean? Let
me try to explain this to you in thirty seconds
or less. So the kicker lines up normally, the other
(03:57):
ten players on the kicking team must now line up
on the receiving team's forty yard line. The receiving team
has to have at least nine players lined up between
their thirty five and thirty yard line. You keep the track,
and then there's seven of the nine players must have
at least one foot on the thirty five yard line. Okay,
(04:17):
but wait, there's more. As many as two members of
said receiving team are allowed are allowed to line up
anywhere inside the twenty yard line. They call that the
landing zone. Ooh, good name. Landing zone. It's like the
splash zone when you go to the water park to
return the kick. Now it's the NFL's mandate. It is
(04:39):
being used in theory. I say that in air quotes
in theory to decrease injuries, which means decrease possible payouts
down the line. It's called down the line liability or
downstream liability, and to incentivize teams to return kicks instead
of settling for the touchbacks, because the ball would you
go to the thirty yard line. So let us discuss
(05:02):
the question, what are your opening foughts. You've now seen it.
I assume you've seen it. Maybe you didn't watch the game,
but you watched it on social media the clip, So
what are your thoughts when you saw it? The dynamic kickoff?
So I've got a GPS, breakfast combo, and floppy discs
and we will combine all of these things together and
(05:27):
we are going to make paint dry watching paint dry,
which is kind of like watching backups for the Bears
and backups for the Texans. But we'll get to that
in a second. In terms of my initial thoughts, my
knee jerk reaction to the kickoff, don't like it. Not
a fan, right, My reaction is meh, It's a meh play, right,
(05:49):
And I know it's a copycat thing. The NFL copied
the XFL, which is the highest form of flattery that
they're ripping off the XFL. The way I look at it,
you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
But I've heard that before, probably going up, somebody told
you that this is not the answer. The GPS on
this play is set to the quiet suburban community of
(06:11):
Dollsville based on what I've seen, small sample size, but
she hit the snooze button. Now we'll give it more time.
We're not making our final final analysis on this, but
at this point my initial thought is it's a map
play and typically does take around sixty six days to
(06:33):
get used to something new, whether it's a diet, whether
it's a new home or car or something like that.
That's the duration now, but it can go up to
like two hundred and fifty something days. It just depends
on the individual. So my gut though after seeing this,
I know it was back of wold give me a
chance it was back if you work for the NFL.
My gut tells me this is not the answer and
(06:54):
this will not be around all that long now, Page two.
How was the over all product at the Hall of
Fame game between the Bears and the Texas so as anticipated?
As expected from what I saw, I ancy the whole thing,
(07:15):
but the two and a half quarters they had seven
penalties and four fumbles the teams combined for in two
and a half quarters. That's on brand, Like we have
a ritual. We've talked about this from time to time.
But what I do is, in this case, I watched
the open with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman the Fox
Refugees over on ABC. That got my blood flowing a
(07:36):
little bit, so my blood started flowing. Probably you two.
And then when they were done, I consumed the opening
kickoff because I wanted to see what everyone was talking
about and all that. So then I watched a few
plays and then I looked at the menu and the
menu said breakfast combo, and I said, oh, I ordered
the breakfast combo. That's milk coast, a side of overcooked
plain oatmeal, and then you get a bowl of cheerios,
(07:57):
but you don't get any milk or no fruit. That's
the meal. Right, you had Davis Mills for Houston versus
Tyson Beagent of Chicago. Riveting must see television unless it's not.
It was obviously humdrum, and they know it's garbage. They
know it's garbage. So these Hall of Fame broadcasts, what
(08:18):
they end up doing trying to keep the audience is
they go down memory lane. Let's float down memory lane.
La la la la, la la la. And they interviewed
a bunch of Hall of famers and hope you don't
notice the actual game. Now, last word here, where is
all of this heading? This is just the beginning. There'll
be a bunch of NFL exhibition games. Over the next
(08:41):
few weeks here, But where is the NFL headed for
these exhibition games. So we are in the final days
of these practice games, and they will go the way
of the floppy disc and the iPod. And even if
you're a Pollyanna type person, you're gonna have to agree
(09:01):
because exhibition football is on the list. It's on the
endangered species list. It is at risk of extinction, and
no one's gonna complain when it's gone. The fans get
screwed over because it's a bad product. The players don't
like it, the coaches don't like it because guys get hurt,
the guys that do play, and it's bad television even
(09:23):
though people seem to tune in because they're zombies. But
the owners are gonna use this as a bargaining chip
eventually within the next couple of years, where we get
to eighteen games. We're seventeen now, the spotlight will be
on this. We're gonna get to eighteen games. The next frontier,
which is at the final frontier in our lives, maybe
will be twenty games. So the plan, whether it's to
get to eighteen or get to twenty, would be we're
(09:45):
gonna drop the dress rehearsals and just play extra real game.
So eventually they'll get to eighteen and then they'll say
we'll give you an extra buy. So then to get
to twenty, they'll say, we're gonna get rid of the
exhibition games and we'll throw in a third by week,
so it'll be a twenty three week season. We get
three weeks off and no exhibition games. And I was
(10:07):
told this a few years back, that the plan is
to get rid of the exhibition games because the stars
don't want to play in it. In a more controlled environment,
you will have more joint practices, training camp scrimmages where
they bring in officials, and that is what's going to
replace this iesore, this blight on the landscape, these exhibition games.

more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
It is a power outage. Well come, in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are
in the air everywhere on the River of life as
we celebrate old country sports radio traditions coast to coast,
(11:28):
border the border, and beyond. All the beast and rightfully
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the Tonic,
the Talk Tonic. We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot
com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get there
and unmatch selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection
(11:54):
and over ten thousand recommended installers. It's been almost ten
thousand days since credit Card Gordon called the show tire
rack dot Com the Way Tire Buying Show be and
our lead this hour, play the hit small Man, play
the hits from Pro Football. We go to the Bolt
(12:14):
where they have a pizza oven shaped like a helmet
and they eat Wolfgang Puck. It's almost like they've won
a bunch. They haven't. There was a power Eyders. That
took place. Now, if you didn't hear about this, maybe not.
We learned that the Chargers starting quarterback Justin Herbert, Snap,
crackle pop. Now he's being listed as week to week,
(12:35):
aren't we all with a foot injury. The injury is
to the right foot of Justin Herbert. The Chargers are saying,
it's not that big a deal, but he's going to
be in a booty. And when you're in a booty,
and we're not talking about booty, you're in a booty,
that's a problem. So there's gonna have a boot for
the next couple of weeks at least. And then they
(12:56):
say that he will eventually slowly return. They'll slowly ramp
up his return. Now, despite the injury, the Chargers are
hopeful that's a weasel term. They're hopeful that Justin Herbert
will be ready for Week one, when the Raiders get
to play that extra home game in La Raiders and Chargers,
(13:19):
it's on like Donkey Kong at Sofi in the Hood
in Inglewood, and the Raiders and Charges alten up the
season in week one. So I would say, don't hold
your breath. Easton's stick is warming up in the back
there the fifth round pick from North Dakota State. He
is the backup job option for the Chargers. So let
us discuss the question. Justin Herbert going down, down, down
(13:43):
for the Bolts. Give me your reaction. So I've got
Jim Nance, Battle of the Bulge and Gus Buss and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a honey wagon, which is what
the swimmers in Pere we're swimming through the Paris Olympics
(14:04):
there the other day, swimming through the honey wagon, the
back of a honeywagon. If you don't know what a
honeywagon is, look it up all right now, num berwa.
So all of the blood, sweat and tears of training
camp and here we are as the Chargers have done
it again. You could say a tough break or sprain
(14:27):
for the Bolts that they know a thing or two
about injuries. The Chargers, I believe, are gussing up the
status pouring sugar on top. This is a box checking
exercise for us. It's a box checking exercise because you
can now mark the box that a starting quarterback has
(14:48):
been dinged up prior to the start of the regular season,
and Jim Nantz can remind you that it is a
tradition unlike any other. For Justin Herbert, it stinks, it's
l stinko. However, he will be back at some point, right,
I'll be Benny Bright's a right, there is a silver
(15:08):
lining here. And what is the silver lining? If you're
Justin Herbert, he want to check the back pocket. Now.
The reason you want to check the back pocket is
because right there there's a monopoly card. If you take
the monopoly card out, yeah, that's it. Take it out,
and then you look at the monopoly card. Okay, it's
a get out of jail free card. So you've got
that right. And so Herbert has freedom because if he
(15:33):
goes out there and stinks, poops the bed, he can
just pull out of his back pocket the monopoly card.
It's about I was hurt, missed most of camp. Sorry,
that's what happened. It's not my fault. Shrug his shoulder.
If he plays well, it's like, oh what a gladiator.
He overcame an amazing setback and he played great football.
(15:55):
So he has an alibi if he sucks. That's what
I'm saying now. Page two are staying with the same
theme with the Chargers. Where does this injury to Justin
Herbert leave Jim Harbaugh in his first season back in
the NFL with the Chargers. So after a minute long
analysis of what's going on with the Chargers, is not
(16:17):
being stuck in a pickle jar Jim Harbaugh? What if
I told you he's not worried? Like everything that we
are hearing from people that are in the know is
that there's a priority to change the culture in LA.
With the Chargers, it's the battle of the bulge for
Jim Harbough. I'll bet you that those khaki pants a
(16:41):
little chubby, little chubby. With Justin Herbert nursing an injury,
the Chargers and their offensive coordinator Greg Roman can now
focus on physicality. Now, backup, we mentioned the backup Easton Stick,
who is more than capable not a throwing three touchdown
passes a game that's not gonna happen, but he can
(17:04):
certainly take three steps back and turn to his right
or his left and hand the ball off ground and
pound would be the way to go. And everyone at
the top right now of the Charger's depth chart is
an ex poet. They love poetry. They love former poets.
Greg Roman is a former poet there in Baltimore. But
they've got the gust Buss, Gus Bradley and JK. Rollins,
(17:29):
who are the top running backs right there, and so
old Ravens right there until they need an ambulance to
be taken off the field. But they are the focal
point of the backfield. And Jim Harball wants to slow
the game down and old school style. Can that work
for a West Coast dome team. It works in the Northeast,
(17:52):
it works in the Midwest for outdoor cold weather teams.
It's traditionally worked in those environments. But has it worked
if you're playing that style where you cut down in
the amount of times that you pass and you just
hand the ball off most of the time, can that
win you ten or eleven games? Because unless this is
(18:14):
some kind of deep fake, unless this is some kind
of Shenanigans, and Jim Harball and all the people that
are around the Chargers are pulling our chain here, that's
exactly what's gonna happen. That they're just gonna slow the
game down and hand the ball off, and that's what
they're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Final point We're gonna go to court, a massive win
for the big guy and a kick in the nuts
from the oligarchy of football to the little guy. We
talked about this story in a previous episode of the show.
We now have a Mallard follow up. Remember that lawsuit
where the NFL was danged four point seven billion dollars
(18:53):
worth a federal judge throughout throughout that verdict, the four
point seven billion dollar jury verdict against the NFL, and
that Sunday ticket case where the NFL was screwing over
their customers by the way they were doing business on
Sunday Ticket. Now, the lawsuit included two point four million
(19:16):
residential subscribers, about forty eight thousand businesses in the United
States that all would have been eligible to get a
check if you paid for the direct TV package out
of market games. And that was over an eleven year
period from twenty eleven to twenty twenty two. So give
me your school of thought on the NFL scoring a
(19:37):
major win on appeal. So my thought, and we'd talked
about this, and we've been very open about these legal cases.
The NFL often finds themselves in court because they've got
a lot of money and so people sue people that
have a lot of money. But this is the NFL's
calling card. You just keep appealing until you find a
(19:59):
judge that is simpath to the shield. The rich get richer, right,
the poor get poorer. In this case, two point four
million men, women and children could have gotten a check.
It wouldn't have been a lot. It would have been
a few shekels, even though it's four point seven billion.
Now it is likely, though, that we're not over with this,
(20:20):
that this story is not going to go He said, well, well,
wait a minute. The judge issued in favor of the NFL. Yeah,
so you've got two judges, one issued in favor of
the working man, another ruled in favor of the bureaucracy
of football. So they'll likely appeal. The plaintiffs will appeal
again to the Ninth Circuit Court, and looking into my
(20:42):
crystal ball, as a distant relative of no su Damas
and friend of no studinas, they will win again. The
plaintiffs will win, the people will win. But it's a
cat and mouse game. So the NFL what are they
gonna do. They're gonna go back to their calling card.
They're going to appeal and they'll find a judge that
wants tickets in a luxury box, or wants the experience
(21:05):
of taking their kids out to NFL practice and as
much NFL merch as they want, and then they'll win that,
and then they'll go to a higher court, and up, up, up,
and away we go.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Go ahead, hit the music. It's Mallard. How about that
to the third degree? I'm protesting, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
This is one big event. Gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Kobalt.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
So it was thought that the Cavaliers would trade some
of their big pieces this offseason, but instead they've signed
them all to extensions. Senator Jared Allen was the latest
to sign a max extension with the team, joining Donovan
Mitchell and Evan Mobley. Ben, do you think running it
back is the right move by Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yes, there'll be a playoff team. They'll lose in the
first round of the playoffs, and they'll sell tickets and
they'll create I am blown away by this. Everything I
heard was that Donovan Mitchell wasn't gonna be back. They
end up having to get rid of him, and they
have been mobile thing. I don't think he's a shock,
but they in general pulled the crazy ivan in Cleveland
(22:11):
Strip Club. John somewhere in Cleveland's like, what's going on here?
What's up with that? I don't understand. But they're gonna
be a playoff team in the East. But I don't
see them closing the gap. I know they changed coaches,
but I'm not buying it.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Next, John Morant's agent had a warning for the rest
of the league this week. He said, John Morant is
coming for all the work this year, all of it.
How soon they forget, That's all I'll say. He's about
to come for it. Ben, Do you think John Morant
will be able to regain his pre gun incident superstar status?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
No, they're talking to talk. You gotta walk the walk.
Just keep your nose clean, keep your gun empty. That's
all you have to do.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Next, I don't really have time to read this, man,
So yeah, I'm gonna I'm just gonna fail you right now.
