Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
A whole lot of cheese. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Dennison's you There, me here, coast coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and impressively powerful microphones of
FSR AMM neating live from the Rings, the Three Rings,

The way tire buying should be flexus in Buffalo, Who's
(01:26):
entered the talent show Malatpalooza ten thousand times likes that number,
so our lead this hour from the NFL. You probably thought, well,
it happened over the weekend, it's not gonna come up
here on this show. But you'd be wrong. We will
get back to the Malorpalooza twenty twenty four or three
acts in more acts to come. But over the weekend
(01:47):
a couple of massive, massive deals were announced, and we
were away from the guard shack, much like the security
guard here at the FSR building was away when I
tried to tell him there was an interesting cat riding
his bike through the garage.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
But the.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Story here that happened over the weekend, There were two
stories that caught our attention. Maybe you saw it, maybe
he didn't. But to a tongue of Iloa, the Proud
of Alabama, well originally the proude of Hawaii. But he
agrees to a four year contract worth two hundred and
twelve million dollars two hundred twelve point four million, which
includes one hundred and sixty seven million garonteed guaranteed. Now
(02:29):
in Wisconsin, Jordan Love feel him a love from Green Bay.
He agrees to a two hundred and twenty million dollar
deal which includes a seventy five million dollar signing bonus,
like you've won the lottery and that's payable by the
end of the year. Seventy five million Is that going
to affects the price of the stock in Green Bay?
(02:51):
I don't know. One hundred and fifty five million in
new guaranteed money handed over to Jordan Love. So there's
interesting things about both of these moves. We're going to
start at lambeau Field though. That's where we're going to start.
And the question is why did the packers pay Jordan
(03:11):
Love all all that money? Why did they pay Jordan
Love all that money? So I've got Howie Mandel, doctor Seuss,
and barber shop, and we can combine all of those
things together and we are going to make a handshake.
Everyone in the rooms distracted, no bells, no whistles, So
(03:32):
number why they woke up?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So listen, here's the deal. The packers box themselves into
a corner. There's no other way to say it. When
it comes to Jordan Love. Green Bay did something that
is not Green Bay like. It's out of character for
that franchise. If you look at the franchise Charter. This
is not the kind of move that they normally make.
They caved in part the public opinion, social media pressure
(04:03):
and all that, and normally they have not operated like this.
Jordan Love. While things are looking up for Jordan Love,
if you were being a grown up, you would say
he's still in the beta testing phase, that he's in
the beta testing phase. And yet he got paid. He
got paid massive amount of money and all that stuff.
And will the real Jordan Love stand up? Because I
(04:25):
remember doing the TV show last year and Jordan Love
at mid season after eight games had twelve touchdown passes
and eight interceptions, and unless I'm mistaken, in a primetime
game at lambeau Field, Matt Lafleur called out Jordan Love
and his teammates for lollygagging against the Lions in the
first half of that game. So while he certainly looked
(04:47):
good late and can't argue with that, the Cowboy playoff
game was more about the Cowboys handing the game to
the Green Bay Football team. Wasn't so much that Jordan
Love was clearly better than everyone else. Dak Prescott on
the Cowboy, We're a bunch of stumblebums in that game,
and then Green Bay did have a shot against the
forty nine ers, as I recall, but if you look
(05:07):
at all this right, he needs more beta testing and
all that stuff, and even though he looked good at
the end of the year. As a result, the packers
to say, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna
bring how he manned Dell. We're gonna bring him and
the banker, and we're gonna bring them to northern Wisconsin
where it's beautiful this time of the year, and then
(05:27):
we'll play dealer, no deal. And the packers chose case
number ten, and they're betting that case number ten will
be the right case. And now they're on a wing
and a prayer because there is a dimension in the
multiverse where Jordan Love comes out and urinates all over
his pants. And the packers are in a tough situation.
But it's always always a value when you sign the
(05:50):
The counter argument has been, well, it looks bad now,
but you just wait in a couple of years. Okay,
So by that account, everyone should get paid all the time.
You don't have to necess sssarily earn the money. But
it's like, it's like, what are we doing here, right?
It's is he a bargain? He's not a bargain right now.
Maybe he'll turn out to be a bargain if he
turns out to be good. Otherwise he's an albatross. Now.
Page two, we go to South Beach, where we'd man
(06:14):
Hippie still finds himself incarcerated over the weekend, and more
on that later because he would be part of the
malt plusa if he was free, he would have been
part of it. But we focus in on the Miami
football team. Is Dolphin's quarterback to a tongue of Iloa
good enough to win a Super Bowl? He got paid, right,
he got paid? Is he good enough to actually be
(06:35):
a Super Bowl quarterback? And so the answer is gummy.
It's gummy, that's the answer here, because how do you
evaluate the play of to a tongue of iloa? How
do you evaluate him? Because he doesn't elevate the people
around him. That does not happen. And you know the answer.
It's a classic Doctor Seuss line that sometimes the questions
(06:59):
are complicated and then the answers are simple or go
if you look at this, if the Dolphins defense and
special teams a right defense and special teams are on point.
And when I say on point, they're gonna have injuries,
but the performance is there, then Miami will have home
(07:19):
field advantage. And if the Dolphins have home field advantage,
then sure there's a world where Tua tonguebai Loa becomes
a super Bowl quarterback. But he's got to avoid playing
at Kansas City as we saw last year, Baltimore or Buffalo.
You gotta throw in all those other cold weather cities
that he could play in and no cold weather games.
(07:42):
We start with that, and we are not naive. We
are not naive to the fact that over the last
generation in the NFL we have seen absolute turn burgers
like Rex Grossman, Joe Flacco, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, Nick
Foles either go to the Super Bowl, some of them
won the Super Bowl. They're grinding and daddy of them
(08:04):
all and stood head and shoulders above everyone else in
the NFL. And two is on that short list of guys. Well,
everything's great around him and he played in South Florida,
and sure, why not? Right? Why not? However, again, I
go back to my premise that in my world, this
is probably a meat problem, not a dolphin problem. When
I was growing up, I was always told that you
(08:25):
have to pay people who elevate their teammates the top dollar.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
He did.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
If you're not that person, you don't get that money.
And times have changed. There's so much money in the NFL.
They they're they're like al Chapel. They're just bearing money, right,
and the old stories about him, they're just bearing money.
There's so much money. Tua hasn't shown up yet at
the pro level in big games. That's established. But yet
(08:50):
the Dolphins are paying him anyway. They had to, They
had to pay him. He was he was doing a
hold in all right. Now. Final point, toss up question,
toss up quiet? Which quarterback between the two big free
agent signing extension signings over the weekend? Which quarterback bigger
gamble Jordan Love or to a tongue of Bi Loa.
(09:11):
So the answer, my first answer is see none of
the above. I'll start with that and none of the above.
It both stories happened on Friday, all right. Both stories
came out on Friday, that's known as the takeout the
trash Day, the Friday news dump, which tells you that
Dolphins and Packers are not proud. They're not boastful about
these moves. They realize these are stupid moves. But they
(09:34):
had to do it, and so they did it when
they tried to do it to limit the amount of attention.
So they did it on a Friday, the day of
the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Good luck. That is telling.
Now that said, both stories, both things happening at the
same time. I'm going to give a slight lean to
(09:55):
Jordan Love being a bigger gamble and because you look
at Jordan Love, he's like visiting the barber shop and
splitting hairs. It really is an entire answer. But Tua
has shown to be a functional, regular season, good weather quarterback, Like, yeah,
you can put up some big numbers if you're in
fantasy football, get y'all horny and all that, and he'll
(10:17):
feast on some bad teams. And we saw we can
run up the score and all that. Blessed with gigantic torpedoes,
humongous torpedoes, and he's able to hit the bull's eye
on more occasions than not. And it does help the
Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle Wattle. Wattle Wattle are like
Sephora and they they're they're there makeup guys. They make
(10:40):
up for a lot of these shortcomings of Tua, tongue
of by Low. They hire a lot of the blemishes
and the imperfections of Tua. But the jury is still
out on Jordan Love at this point until proven otherwise.
He's a half season guy. He played well in the
second half of the season, but he's a half season
guy usually. And again, standards were different, standards have gone down.
(11:02):
I get it, I understand that's the world we live
in today, and hey, why not. But in the old days,
Jordan Love would not have gotten paid this money, and
of course it would be related to the top dollar
at that time. Obviously the money is cartoonish at this
particular point.
Speaker 2 (11:19):

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb. 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 you download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I think you like it.

Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Is it a steal of a job?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Balor Show. We are in the air everywhere as we
flock together, say Mama Mia, it's time.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's time for the show. Coast, the coast, border, the
Order and beyond. On the mast and spectacularly powerful microphones
of fs are emmundating live from the chronicles, the chat
chronicles with a new camera. I do notice a new
camera in the studio as we are hanging out broadcasting
(12:39):
live from the tier rac dot com studios. Tyract dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, over ten thousand recommended installers.
Our guy Calligan Tim in Michigan likes that number. Tyraq
dot com the Way tire Buying show Me play the Hits,
(13:03):
mom Man play the Hits Day Night doubleheader in our
lead this hour from the Land of the Insurs Pittsburg, PA,
Holy Spaccoli Batman, Russell Wilson and we were told for
the last several months that Russell Wilson had a firm
hold on these starting quarterback job. He's gonna be QWB one.
(13:24):
But then he showed up the camp hobbled. They claimed
it happened while he was sleeping. Some people skeptical about that.
There's all kinds of grand conspiracies. But this has led
to chatter that the RUSS bus is in danger of
being usurped in Pittsburgh's quarterback trauma. Oh, the drama of
quarterback competition in training camp. So if you've not been
(13:47):
following this story, and maybe you don't really care that
much to follow the details, the in and out of it,
but we're told that justin fields, while he still has
work to do. Yeah that's an understatement, but justin fields.
In order to catch Russell Wilson to the race for
the starting job, these Steelers are said to be open
minded about his ability to do so. In fact, the story,
(14:09):
and this is the part that caught my attention, was
that it's closer to a coin flip at this particular point,
that it's closer to a coin flip. So that got
my attention. He's like, why I'm into coins? I did
a thing last year with the penny. I've done that
for years on radio. He did on TV last year,
so I was like, I'm into the coin thing. So
let us discuss the question. Right. Steelers quarterback decision between
(14:34):
Russell Wilson and Justin Field said to be a coin flip?
Is that how you see it? So I've got the
amazing Creskin, the Himalayan Wolf, and Chail Noble, and we
will combine all of those things together and we are
going to make a migraine headache, which I might have
(14:56):
by the end of this night. Who knows. I have
no idea anyway. So a now on this one, what
do I see? I have clear vision. I have absolute
clear vision on this. Russell Wilson, I maintain, is in
the pole position, not because he's good, because he used
to be good and that's all you have to have.
You're looking for anything to grasp onto. And Russell Wilson
(15:19):
has some accolades on his resume, not an MVP or
anything like that. I've done that, but it was part
of a Super Bowl winning team. That's enough. Russell Wilson
is in front in this race. I maintain that he's
also got the amazing Cresken, this old magic set. He's
got the double sided coin, the magic coin, the double
(15:39):
sided coin. Whi's a great way to win Betts And
anyway you flip it right, Russell Wilson is on the
downward slope. That is true. He is the safe choice
between those two. And if he's healthy, big if he's
going to start the season as the QB in Pittsburgh,
and that is a big if because Russ has been sideline.
(16:00):
It's early on in training camp, but he has not
been out there participating with a calf injury. And as
a result, these Steelers have gotten an extended look see
at Justin Fields taking the snaps with the starters, and
he has played pretty bad from those that are there
watching and being paid to watch there. And so you
(16:21):
get to see Justin Fields warts and all, all of
it right in many flaws, the imperfections, the work in
progress on display. He did win the offseason MVPs. I
forgot about that Justin Fields did win the off season
MVP ESPN. Given that that was before last season, then
he actually had to play the real season, and that
was where the problem came up. Right, Boomer bust On
(16:44):
pretty much every single play, justin fields Russell Wilson not
a lot of boom, a lot of bust, but not
bust on every play. And Sean Payton. I thought Sean
Payton did a great job of hiding Russell Wilson as
much as he could, and even that was not really
all that good. All right, Now, turning the page, we
go to Cleveland. We stay in the AFC North. We're
(17:05):
gonna go to Cleveland. Here where the Browns quarterback Deshaun
Watson says that he is quote blocking out all the noise.
He said this week, this ahead of the upcoming regular season.
So what does that signal to you? He's blocking out
all the noise, So it tells you he's still very
much delusional. He's wallowing in the mire of victimhood. And
(17:30):
this is not new though, the fact that he's trying
to block out the noise. This goes back to his
days at Clemson. If you've been with the show a
long time, you know that we had a famous interaction
before he became public enemy number one. Deshaun Watson got upset.
Now I didn't even tag him to some stuff, but
he's coming out of Clemson, coming into the NFL, and
he was a darling. Everone loved Deshaun Watson coming out
of college and had won at Clemson and with Dabbos
(17:54):
Sweeney and all that, and this has always been a bugaboo.
It's always been a bugaboo. DeShawn is like the Himalayan wolf, which,
as I understand it, the wolf has tremendous hearing, just
wonderful hearing, can hear for miles and miles and miles
and miles, And that's essentially Deshaun Watson. He's a Himalayan wolf.
(18:16):
He can hear things, he sees it, looks out stuff
for stuff. He mindlessly consumes media and internet content NonStop,
more than I do, and I kind of have to
do a lot of that because of this job. But
he's scrolling away and all that stuff, and it's not
going to change now. He's like, oh yeah, I'm just
gonna block all that out, block out the noise. Yeah right,
(18:39):
yeah right. And he is a cautionary tale and he
has screwed things up so much in the big picture
because anytime a player says, I want fully guaranteed money,
So okay, all right, let's see who's the only player
that got fully guaranteed money. Oh, that's Deshaun Watson, the
(19:00):
biggest bust in NFL history. When you talk about dollar
for dollar, it's Deshaun Watson. And so why would you
give another guy Deshaun Watsingon said, Oh, it's perfect coming
out of the technics. Of course at the time he
wasn't because the scandal was going on. All right now,
last word here, some are calling this engagement farming. You
can be the judge on that. DeVante Adams and Aman
(19:22):
Ross Saint Brown, couple of name brand receivers. They appeared
on a recent podcast. I have no idea what this is.
I don't listen to it, but they were asked to
choose between answering who had the worst NFL fans are
eating and extra spicy chicken wing, And sure enough they decided,
we're going with the fan base that blows is what
(19:44):
we're going with. All right. They didn't pause at all.
Eight twenty fourth, So Saint Brown he kind of hemmed
in hard and he said the Falcons have some of
the worst fans in the NFL. He claimed that with
the Lions, they played in the Atlanta and there was
no one there. Tenants was pathetic, and so he said that,
and Adams he called out the Commanders. He said the
(20:04):
Commanders fans were miserable because the stadium is horrible. He said,
the city's not great at all. Shout out to Washington,
d C. Which is the He went on to say,
probably I'm gonna go get somebody at my front door
after this. But that's just how I feel. Oh close. Quote.
So you got Davonte Adams on one side, You've got
i'man ross Saint Brown on the other, ripping the Commanders
(20:27):
and the Falcons as the worst fans in the NFL,
which is out of those two, you would only pick
one which is the worst. Now, the easy pick has
always been traditionally Atlanta because that's a college football town.
It's not an NFL town, it's a college football town.
So he always go with the FuG But I'm gonna
go with the Commanders, and it's all inclusive. So I'm
gonna agree with DeVante Adams on this that it's the
(20:49):
Commanders and here's why they're they're head and shoulders in
this moment ahead of the Falcons. And if you're a
supporter all of the Washington Commanders, it's like being in
the exclusion zone that eighteen mile radius around the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Plant. The Washington Commanders. It is a starless franchise.
(21:14):
The stadium is crumbling. Every year there's like a video
of some water, usually poopy water, falling down on fans.
That's happened multiple times. Eddie was at one of those
games when this happened. And Plus the other thing is,
if you're like middle aged and you can afford season tickets,
you likely grew up as a fan of the Washington Redskins.
They don't exist anymore. They got canceled, and now you
(21:35):
have this franchise name which is just filler at spam.
It's not it's a dumb name. It's like a name
if you asked AI to name an NFL team, Oh,
let's call Commanders. Okay, that's stupid. It's a placeholder name.
And you've got the revolving door coach. Maybe the new
owner is good. I don't know. They've only been there
for a minute. Who knows whether he's good or not.
(21:56):
But it's pretty bad anyway you slice it. It's you
just gotta be numb to it. So the team stinks,
no stars, stadium blows name the franchise the Moniker. The
one thing. If your team's bad, you always had the
Moniker that you grew up with. That you don't have
that anything.
Speaker 2 (22:13):

Speaker 3 (00:39):
We are in the air everywhere.

The way tire buying should be flexus in Buffalo, Who's
(01:26):
entered the talent show Malatpalooza ten thousand times likes that number,
so our lead this hour from the NFL. You probably thought, well,
it happened over the weekend, it's not gonna come up
here on this show. But you'd be wrong. We will
get back to the Malorpalooza twenty twenty four or three
acts in more acts to come. But over the weekend
(01:47):
a couple of massive, massive deals were announced, and we
were away from the guard shack, much like the security
guard here at the FSR building was away when I
tried to tell him there was an interesting cat riding
his bike through the garage.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
But the.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Story here that happened over the weekend, There were two
stories that caught our attention. Maybe you saw it, maybe
he didn't. But to a tongue of Iloa, the Proud
of Alabama, well originally the proude of Hawaii. But he
agrees to a four year contract worth two hundred and
twelve million dollars two hundred twelve point four million, which
includes one hundred and sixty seven million garonteed guaranteed. Now
(02:29):
in Wisconsin, Jordan Love feel him a love from Green Bay.
He agrees to a two hundred and twenty million dollar
deal which includes a seventy five million dollar signing bonus,
like you've won the lottery and that's payable by the
end of the year. Seventy five million Is that going
to affects the price of the stock in Green Bay?
(02:51):
I don't know. One hundred and fifty five million in
new guaranteed money handed over to Jordan Love. So there's
interesting things about both of these moves. We're going to
start at lambeau Field though. That's where we're going to start.
And the question is why did the packers pay Jordan
(03:11):
Love all all that money? Why did they pay Jordan
Love all that money? So I've got Howie Mandel, doctor Seuss,
and barber shop, and we can combine all of those
things together and we are going to make a handshake.
Everyone in the rooms distracted, no bells, no whistles, So
(03:32):
number why they woke up?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So listen, here's the deal. The packers box themselves into
a corner. There's no other way to say it. When
it comes to Jordan Love. Green Bay did something that
is not Green Bay like. It's out of character for
that franchise. If you look at the franchise Charter. This
is not the kind of move that they normally make.
They caved in part the public opinion, social media pressure
(04:03):
and all that, and normally they have not operated like this.
Jordan Love. While things are looking up for Jordan Love,
if you were being a grown up, you would say
he's still in the beta testing phase, that he's in
the beta testing phase. And yet he got paid. He
got paid massive amount of money and all that stuff.
And will the real Jordan Love stand up? Because I
(04:25):
remember doing the TV show last year and Jordan Love
at mid season after eight games had twelve touchdown passes
and eight interceptions, and unless I'm mistaken, in a primetime
game at lambeau Field, Matt Lafleur called out Jordan Love
and his teammates for lollygagging against the Lions in the
first half of that game. So while he certainly looked
(04:47):
good late and can't argue with that, the Cowboy playoff
game was more about the Cowboys handing the game to
the Green Bay Football team. Wasn't so much that Jordan
Love was clearly better than everyone else. Dak Prescott on
the Cowboy, We're a bunch of stumblebums in that game,
and then Green Bay did have a shot against the
forty nine ers, as I recall, but if you look
(05:07):
at all this right, he needs more beta testing and
all that stuff, and even though he looked good at
the end of the year. As a result, the packers
to say, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna
bring how he manned Dell. We're gonna bring him and
the banker, and we're gonna bring them to northern Wisconsin
where it's beautiful this time of the year, and then
(05:27):
we'll play dealer, no deal. And the packers chose case
number ten, and they're betting that case number ten will
be the right case. And now they're on a wing
and a prayer because there is a dimension in the
multiverse where Jordan Love comes out and urinates all over
his pants. And the packers are in a tough situation.
But it's always always a value when you sign the
(05:50):
The counter argument has been, well, it looks bad now,
but you just wait in a couple of years. Okay,
So by that account, everyone should get paid all the time.
You don't have to necess sssarily earn the money. But
it's like, it's like, what are we doing here, right?
It's is he a bargain? He's not a bargain right now.
Maybe he'll turn out to be a bargain if he
turns out to be good. Otherwise he's an albatross. Now.
Page two, we go to South Beach, where we'd man
(06:14):
Hippie still finds himself incarcerated over the weekend, and more
on that later because he would be part of the
malt plusa if he was free, he would have been
part of it. But we focus in on the Miami
football team. Is Dolphin's quarterback to a tongue of Iloa
good enough to win a Super Bowl? He got paid, right,
he got paid? Is he good enough to actually be
(06:35):
a Super Bowl quarterback? And so the answer is gummy.
It's gummy, that's the answer here, because how do you
evaluate the play of to a tongue of iloa? How
do you evaluate him? Because he doesn't elevate the people
around him. That does not happen. And you know the answer.
It's a classic Doctor Seuss line that sometimes the questions
(06:59):
are complicated and then the answers are simple or go
if you look at this, if the Dolphins defense and
special teams a right defense and special teams are on point.
And when I say on point, they're gonna have injuries,
but the performance is there, then Miami will have home
(07:19):
field advantage. And if the Dolphins have home field advantage,
then sure there's a world where Tua tonguebai Loa becomes
a super Bowl quarterback. But he's got to avoid playing
at Kansas City as we saw last year, Baltimore or Buffalo.
You gotta throw in all those other cold weather cities
that he could play in and no cold weather games.
(07:42):
We start with that, and we are not naive. We
are not naive to the fact that over the last
generation in the NFL we have seen absolute turn burgers
like Rex Grossman, Joe Flacco, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, Nick
Foles either go to the Super Bowl, some of them
won the Super Bowl. They're grinding and daddy of them
(08:04):
all and stood head and shoulders above everyone else in
the NFL. And two is on that short list of guys. Well,
everything's great around him and he played in South Florida,
and sure, why not? Right? Why not? However, again, I
go back to my premise that in my world, this
is probably a meat problem, not a dolphin problem. When
I was growing up, I was always told that you
(08:25):
have to pay people who elevate their teammates the top dollar.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
He did.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
If you're not that person, you don't get that money.
And times have changed. There's so much money in the NFL.
They they're they're like al Chapel. They're just bearing money, right,
and the old stories about him, they're just bearing money.
There's so much money. Tua hasn't shown up yet at
the pro level in big games. That's established. But yet
(08:50):
the Dolphins are paying him anyway. They had to, They
had to pay him. He was he was doing a
hold in all right. Now. Final point, toss up question,
toss up quiet? Which quarterback between the two big free
agent signing extension signings over the weekend? Which quarterback bigger
gamble Jordan Love or to a tongue of Bi Loa.
(09:11):
So the answer, my first answer is see none of
the above. I'll start with that and none of the above.
It both stories happened on Friday, all right. Both stories
came out on Friday, that's known as the takeout the
trash Day, the Friday news dump, which tells you that
Dolphins and Packers are not proud. They're not boastful about
these moves. They realize these are stupid moves. But they
(09:34):
had to do it, and so they did it when
they tried to do it to limit the amount of attention.
So they did it on a Friday, the day of
the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Good luck. That is telling.
Now that said, both stories, both things happening at the
same time. I'm going to give a slight lean to
(09:55):
Jordan Love being a bigger gamble and because you look
at Jordan Love, he's like visiting the barber shop and
splitting hairs. It really is an entire answer. But Tua
has shown to be a functional, regular season, good weather quarterback, Like, yeah,
you can put up some big numbers if you're in
fantasy football, get y'all horny and all that, and he'll
(10:17):
feast on some bad teams. And we saw we can
run up the score and all that. Blessed with gigantic torpedoes,
humongous torpedoes, and he's able to hit the bull's eye
on more occasions than not. And it does help the
Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle Wattle. Wattle Wattle are like
Sephora and they they're they're there makeup guys. They make
(10:40):
up for a lot of these shortcomings of Tua, tongue
of by Low. They hire a lot of the blemishes
and the imperfections of Tua. But the jury is still
out on Jordan Love at this point until proven otherwise.
He's a half season guy. He played well in the
second half of the season, but he's a half season
guy usually. And again, standards were different, standards have gone down.
(11:02):
I get it, I understand that's the world we live
in today, and hey, why not. But in the old days,
Jordan Love would not have gotten paid this money, and
of course it would be related to the top dollar
at that time. Obviously the money is cartoonish at this
particular point.

Is it a steal of a job?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Balor Show. We are in the air everywhere as we
flock together, say Mama Mia, it's time.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's time for the show. Coast, the coast, border, the
Order and beyond. On the mast and spectacularly powerful microphones
of fs are emmundating live from the chronicles, the chat
chronicles with a new camera. I do notice a new
camera in the studio as we are hanging out broadcasting
(12:39):
live from the tier rac dot com studios. Tyract dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, over ten thousand recommended installers.
Our guy Calligan Tim in Michigan likes that number. Tyraq
dot com the Way tire Buying show Me play the Hits,
(13:03):
mom Man play the Hits Day Night doubleheader in our
lead this hour from the Land of the Insurs Pittsburg, PA,
Holy Spaccoli Batman, Russell Wilson and we were told for
the last several months that Russell Wilson had a firm
hold on these starting quarterback job. He's gonna be QWB one.
(13:24):
But then he showed up the camp hobbled. They claimed
it happened while he was sleeping. Some people skeptical about that.
There's all kinds of grand conspiracies. But this has led
to chatter that the RUSS bus is in danger of
being usurped in Pittsburgh's quarterback trauma. Oh, the drama of
quarterback competition in training camp. So if you've not been
(13:47):
following this story, and maybe you don't really care that
much to follow the details, the in and out of it,
but we're told that justin fields, while he still has
work to do. Yeah that's an understatement, but justin fields.
In order to catch Russell Wilson to the race for
the starting job, these Steelers are said to be open
minded about his ability to do so. In fact, the story,
(14:09):
and this is the part that caught my attention, was
that it's closer to a coin flip at this particular point,
that it's closer to a coin flip. So that got
my attention. He's like, why I'm into coins? I did
a thing last year with the penny. I've done that
for years on radio. He did on TV last year,
so I was like, I'm into the coin thing. So
let us discuss the question. Right. Steelers quarterback decision between
(14:34):
Russell Wilson and Justin Field said to be a coin flip?
Is that how you see it? So I've got the
amazing Creskin, the Himalayan Wolf, and Chail Noble, and we
will combine all of those things together and we are
going to make a migraine headache, which I might have
(14:56):
by the end of this night. Who knows. I have
no idea anyway. So a now on this one, what
do I see? I have clear vision. I have absolute
clear vision on this. Russell Wilson, I maintain, is in
the pole position, not because he's good, because he used
to be good and that's all you have to have.
You're looking for anything to grasp onto. And Russell Wilson
(15:19):
has some accolades on his resume, not an MVP or
anything like that. I've done that, but it was part
of a Super Bowl winning team. That's enough. Russell Wilson
is in front in this race. I maintain that he's
also got the amazing Cresken, this old magic set. He's
got the double sided coin, the magic coin, the double
(15:39):
sided coin. Whi's a great way to win Betts And
anyway you flip it right, Russell Wilson is on the
downward slope. That is true. He is the safe choice
between those two. And if he's healthy, big if he's
going to start the season as the QB in Pittsburgh,
and that is a big if because Russ has been sideline.
(16:00):
It's early on in training camp, but he has not
been out there participating with a calf injury. And as
a result, these Steelers have gotten an extended look see
at Justin Fields taking the snaps with the starters, and
he has played pretty bad from those that are there
watching and being paid to watch there. And so you
(16:21):
get to see Justin Fields warts and all, all of
it right in many flaws, the imperfections, the work in
progress on display. He did win the offseason MVPs. I
forgot about that Justin Fields did win the off season
MVP ESPN. Given that that was before last season, then
he actually had to play the real season, and that
was where the problem came up. Right, Boomer bust On
(16:44):
pretty much every single play, justin fields Russell Wilson not
a lot of boom, a lot of bust, but not
bust on every play. And Sean Payton. I thought Sean
Payton did a great job of hiding Russell Wilson as
much as he could, and even that was not really
all that good. All right, Now, turning the page, we
go to Cleveland. We stay in the AFC North. We're
(17:05):
gonna go to Cleveland. Here where the Browns quarterback Deshaun
Watson says that he is quote blocking out all the noise.
He said this week, this ahead of the upcoming regular season.
So what does that signal to you? He's blocking out
all the noise, So it tells you he's still very
much delusional. He's wallowing in the mire of victimhood. And
(17:30):
this is not new though, the fact that he's trying
to block out the noise. This goes back to his
days at Clemson. If you've been with the show a
long time, you know that we had a famous interaction
before he became public enemy number one. Deshaun Watson got upset.
Now I didn't even tag him to some stuff, but
he's coming out of Clemson, coming into the NFL, and
he was a darling. Everone loved Deshaun Watson coming out
of college and had won at Clemson and with Dabbos
(17:54):
Sweeney and all that, and this has always been a bugaboo.
It's always been a bugaboo. DeShawn is like the Himalayan wolf, which,
as I understand it, the wolf has tremendous hearing, just
wonderful hearing, can hear for miles and miles and miles
and miles, And that's essentially Deshaun Watson. He's a Himalayan wolf.
(18:16):
He can hear things, he sees it, looks out stuff
for stuff. He mindlessly consumes media and internet content NonStop,
more than I do, and I kind of have to
do a lot of that because of this job. But
he's scrolling away and all that stuff, and it's not
going to change now. He's like, oh yeah, I'm just
gonna block all that out, block out the noise. Yeah right,
(18:39):
yeah right. And he is a cautionary tale and he
has screwed things up so much in the big picture
because anytime a player says, I want fully guaranteed money,
So okay, all right, let's see who's the only player
that got fully guaranteed money. Oh, that's Deshaun Watson, the
(19:00):
biggest bust in NFL history. When you talk about dollar
for dollar, it's Deshaun Watson. And so why would you
give another guy Deshaun Watsingon said, Oh, it's perfect coming
out of the technics. Of course at the time he
wasn't because the scandal was going on. All right now,
last word here, some are calling this engagement farming. You
can be the judge on that. DeVante Adams and Aman
(19:22):
Ross Saint Brown, couple of name brand receivers. They appeared
on a recent podcast. I have no idea what this is.
I don't listen to it, but they were asked to
choose between answering who had the worst NFL fans are
eating and extra spicy chicken wing, And sure enough they decided,
we're going with the fan base that blows is what
(19:44):
we're going with. All right. They didn't pause at all.
Eight twenty fourth, So Saint Brown he kind of hemmed
in hard and he said the Falcons have some of
the worst fans in the NFL. He claimed that with
the Lions, they played in the Atlanta and there was
no one there. Tenants was pathetic, and so he said that,
and Adams he called out the Commanders. He said the
(20:04):
Commanders fans were miserable because the stadium is horrible. He said,
the city's not great at all. Shout out to Washington,
d C. Which is the He went on to say,
probably I'm gonna go get somebody at my front door
after this. But that's just how I feel. Oh close. Quote.
So you got Davonte Adams on one side, You've got
i'man ross Saint Brown on the other, ripping the Commanders
(20:27):
and the Falcons as the worst fans in the NFL,
which is out of those two, you would only pick
one which is the worst. Now, the easy pick has
always been traditionally Atlanta because that's a college football town.
It's not an NFL town, it's a college football town.
So he always go with the FuG But I'm gonna
go with the Commanders, and it's all inclusive. So I'm
gonna agree with DeVante Adams on this that it's the
(20:49):
Commanders and here's why they're they're head and shoulders in
this moment ahead of the Falcons. And if you're a
supporter all of the Washington Commanders, it's like being in
the exclusion zone that eighteen mile radius around the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Plant. The Washington Commanders. It is a starless franchise.
(21:14):
The stadium is crumbling. Every year there's like a video
of some water, usually poopy water, falling down on fans.
That's happened multiple times. Eddie was at one of those
games when this happened. And Plus the other thing is,
if you're like middle aged and you can afford season tickets,
you likely grew up as a fan of the Washington Redskins.
They don't exist anymore. They got canceled, and now you
(21:35):
have this franchise name which is just filler at spam.
It's not it's a dumb name. It's like a name
if you asked AI to name an NFL team, Oh,
let's call Commanders. Okay, that's stupid. It's a placeholder name.
And you've got the revolving door coach. Maybe the new
owner is good. I don't know. They've only been there
for a minute. Who knows whether he's good or not.
(21:56):
But it's pretty bad anyway you slice it. It's you
just gotta be numb to it. So the team stinks,
no stars, stadium blows name the franchise the Moniker. The
one thing. If your team's bad, you always had the
Moniker that you grew up with. That you don't have
that anything.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
