Speaker 3 (00:33):
Some shaky air traffic control if you will well come
in the beginning of another night of the Benmalar Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we rub elbows
and indulge in a carb coma of sports takes coast,
(00:55):
border to border and beyond on the mast and refreshingly
powerful microphones of fsre am monating live from the talk
As we tell you leave the talk to us, talk toalk.
I don't talk the rest of the day, because I
got four hours to talk.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I don't have to talk to the rest of the day.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We're broadcasting live from the ti Raq dot com studios.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Tyraq dot com will.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,

stall us tyraq dot com. The way tire mind should
be Random Ryan, who randomly messaged me Random Ryan from Carolina.
You're familiar with his work, yes, so Random Ryan sent
(01:40):
me a message to say if you need any NASCAR, I'm
your guy, and so thank you. He sent me ten
thousand messages. You're close to it. So I lead this
hour from the Garden State. We go where the news
of the day takes us, and right now that would
be the ingredients for great sports talk radio. You have
(02:00):
a high profile NFL team, you have a player that
you've heard of, you have loggerheads between the player and
the team, and that's all you need. What more does
one need to provide the foundation the pillars of great
sports conversation? So we head to the swamp lands of Jersey,
(02:24):
high drama in those skies above the facility for a
team that likes to celebrate aircraft.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You didn't hear yet, and maybe not the.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Star linebacker Hassan Reddick, he's been around a few years,
was a good player for the Eagles. Nobody knew about
him when he played in Arizona, but Hassan Reddick has
informed the j e Ts suck suck Suck, no Moss.
He wants no part of that franchise. He would like
to be traded. He's in a contract squabble. Reddick, who
(02:56):
has been very productive if you just look at the
stat category on his Pro Football Reference page, thirty eight
sacks the last three seasons at a partridge in at
Paratree lend the NFL in sacks way back in twenty
twenty two. But because of this, Reddick wants more money.
The Jets, who traded for him from the Eagles, don't want.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
To pay him any more money.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
He stayed out of the dreaded OTAs I ain't playing
unless I get mine bro didn't show up the mandatory
mini camp, not going there now training camp, and he
wants to be traded for the second time in the
last five months. He would like to be repackaged somewhere else,
even though he is from New Jersey and he's from
that area. But he wants out, all right. So the
(03:44):
question is we discussed the question on this one. Who
is to blame point the finger, Who's to blame for
the Hassan Reddick fiasco with the Jets. So I've got
wgn U haul and McDonald's and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(04:05):
a wink and a nod is what we're going to make.
So a let's start out with the big man in
charge of the Jets front office, Joe Douglas. Now, Joe
Douglas and the Jets have pie on their face right now.
They issued a hastily written statement debunking that they're going
to trade Hassan Reddick to another team. But it was
(04:28):
an open secret, Like if I know about it, I'm
just the Measley overnight guy.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I am aware of this.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You would think it's public knowledge that Reddick wasn't happy
with his four to h one k situation in Philadelphia.
He had a desire to get a new contract. It
was ultimately something that led to his trade from the
Birds earlier in the offseason. So it's not like the
Jets were blindsided. Now we're hearing they offered him a
(04:58):
below market value contrac God forbid. He said no to that.
They knew what they were getting. It's like if you
get a car and you go online and you look
at the car and you say, well, most of these
cars are jeloppies. They've got problems with the engine or whatever.
You can't be shocked when your car ends up having
a problem. This is the analogy here. Reddick had one
(05:20):
year remaining on his current deal. He's going to turn
thirty shortly. Now, thirty is not old in life, but
when you're an athlete, you're getting up there long in
the tooth. And he's gonna turn thirty shortly after the
NFL regular season begins, So that means this is his
last chance to jump on the money trained get that
(05:42):
funny money, because once you get past the age of
thirty or thirty one to thirty two, that's it. And
yet for some reason, they traded for the guy, but
they don't want to pay the guy even after they
traded for the guy. And it just reeks of Jets
bh is what rec said. If you don't want to
pay him, that's fine. You said, well he's almost thirty one, Pam,
(06:03):
But why would you trade for him when you knew
that's what he wanted? The Jets Organization bringing back the
old superstation WGN classic The Bozo Show, The Bozo Show
with Joe Douglas, What a circus. Bring in the parade
of clowns, Bring in the parade of clowns. You gotta
make it happen all right now, Page two, Speaking of unhappy,
(06:24):
the Patriots just up the I ninety five corridor. They're
also upset the Patriots getting calls about Matthew Judon, a
possible trade for the disgruntle, the defensive star who's played
for New England last couple of years. How should the
Patriots handle the teams contacting them saying, hey, we would
(06:45):
like to get Matthew Judon. So what they should do
is they should call Judon's asient up and say, listen,
I know a guy at U Haul okay, and I'm
going to give you our corporate discount code, so you
can hack everything up there and get out of here.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And don't let the door hit you where the good
Lord split you. Just go away.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Judan has been a productive player that we got hurt
last year from that last year. But it's all about
the timeline. It's all about the time. By the time
the Patriots have a team that isn't garbage, By the
time that happens, Matthew Judon will either be out of
the NFL or in the twilight of his career. Either way,
(07:29):
it doesn't match up it doesn't. He has stories about
your relationships ending because like one person wants to have
kids and the other one doesn't, and so that ends
it well in this case, by the time the Patriots
are actually trying to win games again, like they wouldn't
even play Drake May in practice games because they know
he sucks that much. They didn't want to play him
that much. So they're not anywhere close. It's his embarrassment.
(07:52):
So but by the time they're good, Judann will be
tooled right, and so this is the ideal time to
have put out a card table and have a garage
sale and everything is marked to sell down. New England
does not even trust May, though, I keep going back
to that point, because they only played him a handful
of snaps. You look around Bo Nicks played a huge
(08:14):
chunk for the Broncos, Caleb Woms, you look at these
age jaj McCarthy, who's people thought we're gonna play much
at all. He played for the Vikings. So it's it's
just why now the last word here as we put
the ball on this we move now to La La Land,
where Jimmy Garoppolo has spoken and Garoppolo saying at times
(08:37):
it has been chaotic in his career, played for the Patriots,
the forty nine ers, and the Raiders, but he is
with the Rams now, and he was praising what it's
like to play for Sean McVay and the whole culture
around the Rams while talking about how chaotic it was
with his other teams. What do you read in to
Jimmy Garoppolo's commentary about his body of work in the NFL.
(09:02):
So Jimmy G was likely eating some chicken nuggets and
he was humming the old McDonald's catch slogan that I'm
loving it. He's loving it. He's just loving it. And
the life in the NFL is supposed to be controlled.
Cass Am, I wrong on that. I don't think I'm
wrong on that, that it's controlled chaos. That's why we
(09:23):
love it. It's the wide world of sports, the thrill
of victory, the agony of defeat, the human drama of
athletic competitions that late Jim McKay would say back in
the day.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
But Jimmy G.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Is he just embracing and loving that he's a part
time NFL player now. Fully, he got demoted with the
Raiders last year because they were worried about stuff breaking
on his body, which normally happens, but it seems like
he couldn't be happier. Is that because he's close to
Chatsworth where they used to make all the porno movies.
We know he likes the point, nothing wrong with that.
(09:57):
Many of us enjoy the fine arts there. But he's
very energetic. He's bright eyed, bushy tailed. Jimmy Garoppolo in
the honeymoon phase of the relationship with the Rams, and
we'll see what happens because the real test, you know,
at some point Matthew Stafford's going to get hurt. The
Rams have to try to make it through the first
(10:17):
two games because Garoppolo's got popped. He got popped for PD,
so he's out the first two games. But then after that,
when Stafford gets hurt, Garoppolo can slide on in there
the good luck charm for the forty nine ers back
in the day and the Patriots, and he can get
the opportunity when the crap hits the fan. That's what
we're going to find out if he still loves the
RAMS culture. When people are pointing out the frailties, the inaccuracy,
(10:39):
the mistakes of Jimmy Garoppolo. But right now, yeah, it's
great love Sean McVay. A lot of players like this though.
They change teams, their their journeyman, bouncing around the Hobo
Express out in the boondocks of sports, and whatever team
they're on is the greatest team, and then when they
leave that team, it's terrible. Bunch of bums. Bunch of bums.
Speaker 2 (11:00):

Speaker 1 (11:50):
The band is getting back together. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are
in the air everywhere as we stay in touch and
we know what's going on from dusk to don as
(12:11):
we play on coast to coast, border the border and
beyond on the mast and heart stoppingly literally heart stoppingly
powerful microphones of FSR checking with Cardiac Stanley ammanating live
from the Rounds, the Championship Rounds of verbal Pugilism. We're
(12:33):
broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tyract dot com the way tire buying should be.
(12:54):
And but it's back and forth, grumpy old men. We've
got dead gummet on one side, and he complains from
his big rig nightly about the show he loves. He's
he's from Mark And somebody loves the cheaters in Houston,
the cheating as one one thousand and two one thousand
holes loves them. Then we've got that guy marked the
(13:16):
full name guy who likes he licks the toes of
Blake Snell. He won't call because Blake Snell was back
to being Blake Snell, got knocked out, couldn't get through
the games a Giants end up losing because of the bullpen,
because that's a classic Blake Snell performance.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
But anyway, our lead this hour from baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
We're going to Wisconsin, and that's southern Wisconsin, not northern Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
That's where the Packers play. This is in.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Milwaukee, where we used to have our friend from the
Soul Kitchen. They used to call up and complain about
the Brewers. Not anymore, but that is where the Dodgers
opened up a road trip. Now he's just a preview
of the postseason to come, the Doyers and the brew
crew as they are matching up this week. The news
(14:02):
of the day, though, was the return of Mookie Bets
back in the lineup. He's been gone for two months,
but he's no longer a shortstop. Yeah, just like that Presto.
He is now back in right field.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
He'd bringing the lumber in this game.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Was watching the game some of the game and Bets
hid a home run second at bet looked terrible.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
The first at Bet.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Hit a home run, also had a Ribby single that
drove in Otani. Later on three RBIs had a stolen
base in his return, filling up the box score. But
that's not the story. That's not good talk radio. Good
talk radio is the mouth of Mookie Bets. That's good
talk radio. So if you didn't hear, perhaps not Mookie Bets.
Commenting on the positional move, Mookie Bets said, quote, I
(14:53):
don't care. I just want to win.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Bro sounds like Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I've preached the same thing from the very beginning, and
I always will, said Mookie Bets. Now, some have pointed
out that Mooki Bets did not have the tone, He
did not have the delivery of someone that was celebrating
his return to the outfield. So let us discuss thumbs
(15:18):
up or thumbs down on Mookie Bets being unhappy with
his relocation to right field for the Doyers. So I've
got Robotic, hot Yoga and Tony Award, and we will
combine all of these things together, and we're going to
(15:39):
buy some gasoline, is what we're going to buy.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
So numburn numbers.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Right number one, I'm gonna go thumbs up on the question,
not thumbs down, going thumbs up that yeah, there was
some angst, there was some Hey, I don't like this.
Mookie bets preference was to play on the infield. He
wanted to play second base. It's the only reason the
Dodgers moved him to shortstop is because Gavin lux couldn't
throw from shortstop and Mookie was like, I want to
(16:06):
be on the infield. So they moved Gavin Luckx to
second base and they put Mookie Betts at shortstop.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
He campaigned to be in the infield. He ended up
getting the job.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
And then, as they say in football, from Bob, yeah,
even before he got hurt. See that's the thing. People thinking,
well he got demoted because he got hurt. He didn't
get hurt, or he didn't get demoted because of the
fact that he got hurt. This was not a Drew
Bledsoe Tom Brady situation. Mookie Bets was, depending on what
(16:37):
stat you look at, the worst defensive shortstop in the
National League, the worst defensive shortstop in all of Major
League Baseball, or somewhere in the bottom two or three
under any measurable criteria. He sucked at a time you
could not suck. And as far as the answer is concerned,
it's obviously was robotic. We don't have it, but it
(17:01):
was a robotic answer if you can find it in it.
But it was boiler plate like, machine like would be
the way I would describe it. Trying to think of
some other ways to say it. But Mooki Bets bat
clearly does not mind the move to the outfield. But
this is a story to keep an eye on. And
now the rest of the year, you assume Mookie's gonna
continue to play in the outfield, but he signed forever.
(17:23):
And when he goes back to bowling in the offseason
to Nashville, is this something that pops up where Mooki's like, well,
you didn't really replace me at shortstop. I want to
go back to playing shortstop. And to the Dodgers Genua
Fleck to Mookie Bets and allow him to play shortstop.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Something to follow follow up on.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Now, the big story in baseball not Mookie bets return,
but Red Sox All Star hero Jared Duran.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
The punishment has come down.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We talked about this, although I get suspended a couple
of games, or I said he's gonna get fined.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I don't think he would get.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Suspended, actually so, but the Red Sox said, no, we're
gonna suspend him, So Jared Duran suspended the two games.
This after the incident happened on Sunday with the cheating
a holes. During the sixth thing, the Red Sox were
down ten runs. There were no mercy, no mercy rule.
It was the finale at Finway with all the vermin
in town from Houston, and Jared Duran was caught on
(18:16):
a hot mic directing the homophobic slur to a heckling fan.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
This after the fan you think of heckling? Did you
hear what the fans said?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
The fans said, tennis racket, tennis racket, you need a
tennis racket.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Pretty good line. Who knew that that would trigger Duran?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And he replied shut up, followed by the F word
and then the other F word. You don't get fined
for say the F word, but the other F word
you get suspended for. Yeah, I question, why why did
the Red Sox suspend their All Star Game MVP Jaron Durant.
So the obvious thing here is they're trying to save face.
(18:57):
The Red Sox have positioned themselves as the wokest of
the woke in Major League Baseball, and they figured a
fine would not be enough. You can't do it. You've
got to go further than. The Red Sox pulled out
the thermometer. They looked at everything they were involved in
and the temperature in the room, and they said, this
is hot yoga. This is like a hot yoga temperature here,
(19:21):
and so they pivoted to a mitigation damage assessment situation.
They determined that a suspension was proper in order to
get some of those woke points back. Jared Duran was
the All Star Game MVP. That's where he became someone
we've heard of. We didn't really know who he was
prior to that. But my favorite part of the story
(19:44):
by far, my favorite part of the story, which is
right up there when you talk about baseball's bloopers and
practical jokes. So the Red Sox had honored Jared Duran
prior to the game on Sunday with what's called the
Heart and Hear Hustle of War. It sounds like they
made it up, but they gave it to Jared Duran.
The award recognized as a player with a passion for
(20:07):
the game, Who best embodies its values, spirits and traditions?
Who goofed? I've got to know the jokes right themselves.
Almost as good, not quite as good as when the
Tampa Bay Rays had a giveaway for their franchise player
to only kids under a certain age, who then was
(20:29):
arrested for stooping a kid anyway, All right now, final
point here. Following the announcement, Jared durand or the Red
Sox was made available to reporters in the Socks clubhouse.
He took a few questions. The money quote from Jared
Duran he said, I am sorry for my actions and
(20:49):
I'm going to work on being better.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Close quote, So what do you take away?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
What did you take away from Jared Durant's apology to
the Boston fans through the media in Boston. So I
watched this. It wasn't very long, so I could watch
the whole thing. It was like being at a theater
on Broadway. It was choreographed, and I was about ready
to give a Tony Award to Jared Duran for his delivery,
(21:18):
except he wasn't very good at repeating the talking points
memo from the PR staff there, the damage control people
for the Red Sox because he had his blinkers on.
Now what does that mean? Let me explain rapid blinking.
Rapid blinking the FBI Handbook. This goes back many years.
(21:40):
I use this all the time when we look at
public statements of apology or whatnot. The statement that Jared
Duran made when talking to reporters, he kept blinking, which
tells you that he was stressed because he was lying.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
He was lying.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
That's a sign according to the FBI Handbook. Anyway, That's
what it says right there. I'm just basing it off.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
That.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Oh my god, it's Smeller. How about that? To the
third degree?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yes, is one big event?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Gets grail cool?
Speaker 7 (22:13):
After dropping three or four to the Diamondbacks, the Phillies
had at that point lost seventeen to their last twenty
five games. Yeah, Ben, Is there any hope of turning
things around for Philadelphia?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Absolutely, it's a brand new season in the postseason. The
Phillies have players that have had big time offensive numbers
in their careers. That's a team that scares me. If
you look at the national league, that's the team that
scares me most as a Dodger fan, the Phillies.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Next, videos of Nikola Jokic, presumably drunk and celebrating Serbia's
bronze medal have gone viral. Now many have been suggesting
that Jokic was more excited to win bronze than he
was to win the NBA finals. Ben, do you think
that's true?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yes, I saw the video. He looked melancholy when the
Nuggets on was like, thank god, I can go back
and play with my horses. But now after that, it
was this is like the greatest thing in the world.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Next.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
So, French guard Gershaan Yabasule was one of the stand
up performers for the French national team. He wants a
second chance in the NBA, he posterized lebron Do you
think he's gonna get a second chance?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
No, because he's like almost thirty and he sucked when
he was in the NBA before. How do we know
you pass any day way you get.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Put on the bard.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Yes, I won, hollering James.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Doctor Kevin from Madison, Wisconsin is going to play just
down the street from Kathy in Madison, and he's gonna
partner up with me Ben, and we've got Stone Cold
Steve Austin. How lucky are we that Stone Cold is
listening to the show. Sounds just like he did back
in the day and matched up with Eddie.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
That's the team, Cooper Loop. Let's get the.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Party start, all right. So Kevin and Ben are up first.
Your category is Ocean's eleven. Just a reminder, if you
don't know the rules, you need the first and last
name of the athlete in order to receive points. Kevin,
are you ready? I cannot wait?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Okay forty five?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
All right, Yes, you're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
She's trying to cheat Eddie, but Ray is trying to
help you out and screw me over.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
No, just no, no, just wait till it says go.
That's the word go go. So anyway, oceans eleven. These
athletes all wore number eleven forty five seconds.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Go all right, the other splash brother, not Steph Curry.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Uh, keep going, okay.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. Greatest Cardinals wide receiver
of all time, the star of the bad Boy Pistons
of the eighties. The Guard used to hang out with
Magic Johnson. They were buddies. Yes, that is correct. Greatest
wide receiver in Atlanta Falcons history, although he's been washed
up the last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I think he's out of the NFL now down by
the school yard.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Oh, yes, wide receiver for the Patriots, not Wes Welker,
but a slot receiver for Tom Brady.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
He said it. He said it. He said it. He
said it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
He said, you told me when they start to say it,
he said it.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
He said, Julian Edelman say it. He said, did you
not say it? Doctor Kevin? He said it. He just said, no,
said it.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
He said them answer answer, He said it. Garcia, you
started to you see how dumb that rule is. That's
your Garcia saying it.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
No to me.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
If he saying it before the pleasure it, he didn't
even say it before the buzz released the word. So
it's diner We're going over to stone cold Steve Austin
and uh, Eddie, your category is two hundred cigarettes. These
sports figures smoked cigarettes. Don't choke for stone quarter five
(28:38):
seconds on the clock.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Go uh the goat quarterback of the Patriots, greatest quarterback
of all time, New England Patriots.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Tough on Eddie.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
Current Mavericks star from Serbia, number seventy seven.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
That would be Nicola.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
No, he plays for the Nuggets. He's got a place
for the Mavericks. Yes, Hall of Fame manager for the Pirates.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
He won a World Series.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Yes, former Latino World Series first baseman of the eighty
eight Mets. He's a broadcaster for the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Nowda Yes.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Serbian NBA player for the Lakers and the Kings. Beard No, no, no,
uh yes, super Bowl winning quarterback of the Chiefs way
before Patrick Mahomes in the seventies.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
I didn't count, didn't get it in.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
I count that the rest though, he finished saying it
before the.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
You don't start with me. I'm not in the move.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I heard, I'm not e he finished saying it before
there was sounding.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
So that's two.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Eddie does not Again, Eddie does not know who Keith
nanders the way Tom Brady, so that doesn't count.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Remember he was caught with a cigarette back in like
oh nine, like anology.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Hernandez is not a Yankee broadcaster, so that we're gonna
take the forty points off the board.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Good job at the last one either, all right, I'm
a terrible job by you.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Back over, chick doctor Kevin and Ben Manchester Kevin would
you like?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Would you like Goodwill hunting or Manchester by the.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Sea good Will hunting?
Speaker 6 (30:17):
All right?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
These athletes were former walk ons. Okay, forty five seconds
on the clock, begin all right.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Broncos safety in the no fly zone Super Bowl team
the Super Bowl fifty number forty three. Okay, why would
you only Coople likes Lebroncos Raiders former wide receiver. I
think he's a free agent now, white guy out of Clemson.
He was a high draft pick. He didn't work out
for the Las Vegas Raiders. Hunter, yes, kicker for the Patriots,
(30:48):
but not Adam Vin Terry, the guy after Vin and Terry.
He played for like fifteen years or whatever it was
for the Pats.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Got a European Adam k that counts all right.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Back for Georgia, he threw four interceptions in the Rams
exhibition game over the weekend and had a.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Game winning touch. Right, you got thet said got Kowski.
And did they even take the lead there?
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Will give them the points for gratis Kowski because.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I got it right, because because that right.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
That gives them two hundred and thirty points. Just still
underwent Eddie and stone Cold. But you took the forty
points away from because he gets that. You don't know
who Keith Hernandez is. He said he's a Yankee broadcaster.
Teammates still said Keith Hernandez, that's the point of the game.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
But he gave a wrong clue.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Though it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
And I'm getting exactly what we got. You take her
forty away and we don't know doubt we get over.

me a message to say if you need any NASCAR, I'm
your guy, and so thank you. He sent me ten
thousand messages. You're close to it. So I lead this
hour from the Garden State. We go where the news
of the day takes us, and right now that would
be the ingredients for great sports talk radio. You have
(02:00):
a high profile NFL team, you have a player that
you've heard of, you have loggerheads between the player and
the team, and that's all you need. What more does
one need to provide the foundation the pillars of great
sports conversation? So we head to the swamp lands of Jersey,
(02:24):
high drama in those skies above the facility for a
team that likes to celebrate aircraft.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You didn't hear yet, and maybe not the.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Star linebacker Hassan Reddick, he's been around a few years,
was a good player for the Eagles. Nobody knew about
him when he played in Arizona, but Hassan Reddick has
informed the j e Ts suck suck Suck, no Moss.
He wants no part of that franchise. He would like
to be traded. He's in a contract squabble. Reddick, who
(02:56):
has been very productive if you just look at the
stat category on his Pro Football Reference page, thirty eight
sacks the last three seasons at a partridge in at
Paratree lend the NFL in sacks way back in twenty
twenty two. But because of this, Reddick wants more money.
The Jets, who traded for him from the Eagles, don't want.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
To pay him any more money.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
He stayed out of the dreaded OTAs I ain't playing
unless I get mine bro didn't show up the mandatory
mini camp, not going there now training camp, and he
wants to be traded for the second time in the
last five months. He would like to be repackaged somewhere else,
even though he is from New Jersey and he's from
that area. But he wants out, all right. So the
(03:44):
question is we discussed the question on this one. Who
is to blame point the finger, Who's to blame for
the Hassan Reddick fiasco with the Jets. So I've got
wgn U haul and McDonald's and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(04:05):
a wink and a nod is what we're going to make.
So a let's start out with the big man in
charge of the Jets front office, Joe Douglas. Now, Joe
Douglas and the Jets have pie on their face right now.
They issued a hastily written statement debunking that they're going
to trade Hassan Reddick to another team. But it was
(04:28):
an open secret, Like if I know about it, I'm
just the Measley overnight guy.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I am aware of this.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You would think it's public knowledge that Reddick wasn't happy
with his four to h one k situation in Philadelphia.
He had a desire to get a new contract. It
was ultimately something that led to his trade from the
Birds earlier in the offseason. So it's not like the
Jets were blindsided. Now we're hearing they offered him a
(04:58):
below market value contrac God forbid. He said no to that.
They knew what they were getting. It's like if you
get a car and you go online and you look
at the car and you say, well, most of these
cars are jeloppies. They've got problems with the engine or whatever.
You can't be shocked when your car ends up having
a problem. This is the analogy here. Reddick had one
(05:20):
year remaining on his current deal. He's going to turn
thirty shortly. Now, thirty is not old in life, but
when you're an athlete, you're getting up there long in
the tooth. And he's gonna turn thirty shortly after the
NFL regular season begins, So that means this is his
last chance to jump on the money trained get that
(05:42):
funny money, because once you get past the age of
thirty or thirty one to thirty two, that's it. And
yet for some reason, they traded for the guy, but
they don't want to pay the guy even after they
traded for the guy. And it just reeks of Jets
bh is what rec said. If you don't want to
pay him, that's fine. You said, well he's almost thirty one, Pam,
(06:03):
But why would you trade for him when you knew
that's what he wanted? The Jets Organization bringing back the
old superstation WGN classic The Bozo Show, The Bozo Show
with Joe Douglas, What a circus. Bring in the parade
of clowns, Bring in the parade of clowns. You gotta
make it happen all right now, Page two, Speaking of unhappy,
(06:24):
the Patriots just up the I ninety five corridor. They're
also upset the Patriots getting calls about Matthew Judon, a
possible trade for the disgruntle, the defensive star who's played
for New England last couple of years. How should the
Patriots handle the teams contacting them saying, hey, we would
(06:45):
like to get Matthew Judon. So what they should do
is they should call Judon's asient up and say, listen,
I know a guy at U Haul okay, and I'm
going to give you our corporate discount code, so you
can hack everything up there and get out of here.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And don't let the door hit you where the good
Lord split you. Just go away.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Judan has been a productive player that we got hurt
last year from that last year. But it's all about
the timeline. It's all about the time. By the time
the Patriots have a team that isn't garbage, By the
time that happens, Matthew Judon will either be out of
the NFL or in the twilight of his career. Either way,
(07:29):
it doesn't match up it doesn't. He has stories about
your relationships ending because like one person wants to have
kids and the other one doesn't, and so that ends
it well in this case, by the time the Patriots
are actually trying to win games again, like they wouldn't
even play Drake May in practice games because they know
he sucks that much. They didn't want to play him
that much. So they're not anywhere close. It's his embarrassment.
(07:52):
So but by the time they're good, Judann will be
tooled right, and so this is the ideal time to
have put out a card table and have a garage
sale and everything is marked to sell down. New England
does not even trust May, though, I keep going back
to that point, because they only played him a handful
of snaps. You look around Bo Nicks played a huge
(08:14):
chunk for the Broncos, Caleb Woms, you look at these
age jaj McCarthy, who's people thought we're gonna play much
at all. He played for the Vikings. So it's it's
just why now the last word here as we put
the ball on this we move now to La La Land,
where Jimmy Garoppolo has spoken and Garoppolo saying at times
(08:37):
it has been chaotic in his career, played for the Patriots,
the forty nine ers, and the Raiders, but he is
with the Rams now, and he was praising what it's
like to play for Sean McVay and the whole culture
around the Rams while talking about how chaotic it was
with his other teams. What do you read in to
Jimmy Garoppolo's commentary about his body of work in the NFL.
(09:02):
So Jimmy G was likely eating some chicken nuggets and
he was humming the old McDonald's catch slogan that I'm
loving it. He's loving it. He's just loving it. And
the life in the NFL is supposed to be controlled.
Cass Am, I wrong on that. I don't think I'm
wrong on that, that it's controlled chaos. That's why we
(09:23):
love it. It's the wide world of sports, the thrill
of victory, the agony of defeat, the human drama of
athletic competitions that late Jim McKay would say back in
the day.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
But Jimmy G.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Is he just embracing and loving that he's a part
time NFL player now. Fully, he got demoted with the
Raiders last year because they were worried about stuff breaking
on his body, which normally happens, but it seems like
he couldn't be happier. Is that because he's close to
Chatsworth where they used to make all the porno movies.
We know he likes the point, nothing wrong with that.
(09:57):
Many of us enjoy the fine arts there. But he's
very energetic. He's bright eyed, bushy tailed. Jimmy Garoppolo in
the honeymoon phase of the relationship with the Rams, and
we'll see what happens because the real test, you know,
at some point Matthew Stafford's going to get hurt. The
Rams have to try to make it through the first
(10:17):
two games because Garoppolo's got popped. He got popped for PD,
so he's out the first two games. But then after that,
when Stafford gets hurt, Garoppolo can slide on in there
the good luck charm for the forty nine ers back
in the day and the Patriots, and he can get
the opportunity when the crap hits the fan. That's what
we're going to find out if he still loves the
RAMS culture. When people are pointing out the frailties, the inaccuracy,
(10:39):
the mistakes of Jimmy Garoppolo. But right now, yeah, it's
great love Sean McVay. A lot of players like this though.
They change teams, their their journeyman, bouncing around the Hobo
Express out in the boondocks of sports, and whatever team
they're on is the greatest team, and then when they
leave that team, it's terrible. Bunch of bums. Bunch of bums.
Speaker 2 (11:00):

Speaker 1 (11:50):
The band is getting back together. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are
in the air everywhere as we stay in touch and
we know what's going on from dusk to don as
(12:11):
we play on coast to coast, border the border and
beyond on the mast and heart stoppingly literally heart stoppingly
powerful microphones of FSR checking with Cardiac Stanley ammanating live
from the Rounds, the Championship Rounds of verbal Pugilism. We're
(12:33):
broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast

(12:54):
And but it's back and forth, grumpy old men. We've
got dead gummet on one side, and he complains from
his big rig nightly about the show he loves. He's
he's from Mark And somebody loves the cheaters in Houston,
the cheating as one one thousand and two one thousand
holes loves them. Then we've got that guy marked the
(13:16):
full name guy who likes he licks the toes of
Blake Snell. He won't call because Blake Snell was back
to being Blake Snell, got knocked out, couldn't get through
the games a Giants end up losing because of the bullpen,
because that's a classic Blake Snell performance.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
But anyway, our lead this hour from baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
We're going to Wisconsin, and that's southern Wisconsin, not northern Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
That's where the Packers play. This is in.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Milwaukee, where we used to have our friend from the
Soul Kitchen. They used to call up and complain about
the Brewers. Not anymore, but that is where the Dodgers
opened up a road trip. Now he's just a preview
of the postseason to come, the Doyers and the brew
crew as they are matching up this week. The news
(14:02):
of the day, though, was the return of Mookie Bets
back in the lineup. He's been gone for two months,
but he's no longer a shortstop. Yeah, just like that Presto.
He is now back in right field.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
He'd bringing the lumber in this game.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Was watching the game some of the game and Bets
hid a home run second at bet looked terrible.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
The first at Bet.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Hit a home run, also had a Ribby single that
drove in Otani. Later on three RBIs had a stolen
base in his return, filling up the box score. But
that's not the story. That's not good talk radio. Good
talk radio is the mouth of Mookie Bets. That's good
talk radio. So if you didn't hear, perhaps not Mookie Bets.
Commenting on the positional move, Mookie Bets said, quote, I
(14:53):
don't care. I just want to win.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Bro sounds like Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I've preached the same thing from the very beginning, and
I always will, said Mookie Bets. Now, some have pointed
out that Mooki Bets did not have the tone, He
did not have the delivery of someone that was celebrating
his return to the outfield. So let us discuss thumbs
(15:18):
up or thumbs down on Mookie Bets being unhappy with
his relocation to right field for the Doyers. So I've
got Robotic, hot Yoga and Tony Award, and we will
combine all of these things together, and we're going to
(15:39):
buy some gasoline, is what we're going to buy.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
So numburn numbers.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Right number one, I'm gonna go thumbs up on the question,
not thumbs down, going thumbs up that yeah, there was
some angst, there was some Hey, I don't like this.
Mookie bets preference was to play on the infield. He
wanted to play second base. It's the only reason the
Dodgers moved him to shortstop is because Gavin lux couldn't
throw from shortstop and Mookie was like, I want to
(16:06):
be on the infield. So they moved Gavin Luckx to
second base and they put Mookie Betts at shortstop.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
He campaigned to be in the infield. He ended up
getting the job.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
And then, as they say in football, from Bob, yeah,
even before he got hurt. See that's the thing. People thinking,
well he got demoted because he got hurt. He didn't
get hurt, or he didn't get demoted because of the
fact that he got hurt. This was not a Drew
Bledsoe Tom Brady situation. Mookie Bets was, depending on what
(16:37):
stat you look at, the worst defensive shortstop in the
National League, the worst defensive shortstop in all of Major
League Baseball, or somewhere in the bottom two or three
under any measurable criteria. He sucked at a time you
could not suck. And as far as the answer is concerned,
it's obviously was robotic. We don't have it, but it
(17:01):
was a robotic answer if you can find it in it.
But it was boiler plate like, machine like would be
the way I would describe it. Trying to think of
some other ways to say it. But Mooki Bets bat
clearly does not mind the move to the outfield. But
this is a story to keep an eye on. And
now the rest of the year, you assume Mookie's gonna
continue to play in the outfield, but he signed forever.
(17:23):
And when he goes back to bowling in the offseason
to Nashville, is this something that pops up where Mooki's like, well,
you didn't really replace me at shortstop. I want to
go back to playing shortstop. And to the Dodgers Genua
Fleck to Mookie Bets and allow him to play shortstop.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Something to follow follow up on.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Now, the big story in baseball not Mookie bets return,
but Red Sox All Star hero Jared Duran.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
The punishment has come down.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We talked about this, although I get suspended a couple
of games, or I said he's gonna get fined.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I don't think he would get.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Suspended, actually so, but the Red Sox said, no, we're
gonna suspend him, So Jared Duran suspended the two games.
This after the incident happened on Sunday with the cheating
a holes. During the sixth thing, the Red Sox were
down ten runs. There were no mercy, no mercy rule.
It was the finale at Finway with all the vermin
in town from Houston, and Jared Duran was caught on
(18:16):
a hot mic directing the homophobic slur to a heckling fan.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
This after the fan you think of heckling? Did you
hear what the fans said?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
The fans said, tennis racket, tennis racket, you need a
tennis racket.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Pretty good line. Who knew that that would trigger Duran?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And he replied shut up, followed by the F word
and then the other F word. You don't get fined
for say the F word, but the other F word
you get suspended for. Yeah, I question, why why did
the Red Sox suspend their All Star Game MVP Jaron Durant.
So the obvious thing here is they're trying to save face.
(18:57):
The Red Sox have positioned themselves as the wokest of
the woke in Major League Baseball, and they figured a
fine would not be enough. You can't do it. You've
got to go further than. The Red Sox pulled out
the thermometer. They looked at everything they were involved in
and the temperature in the room, and they said, this
is hot yoga. This is like a hot yoga temperature here,
(19:21):
and so they pivoted to a mitigation damage assessment situation.
They determined that a suspension was proper in order to
get some of those woke points back. Jared Duran was
the All Star Game MVP. That's where he became someone
we've heard of. We didn't really know who he was
prior to that. But my favorite part of the story
(19:44):
by far, my favorite part of the story, which is
right up there when you talk about baseball's bloopers and
practical jokes. So the Red Sox had honored Jared Duran
prior to the game on Sunday with what's called the
Heart and Hear Hustle of War. It sounds like they
made it up, but they gave it to Jared Duran.
The award recognized as a player with a passion for
(20:07):
the game, Who best embodies its values, spirits and traditions?
Who goofed? I've got to know the jokes right themselves.
Almost as good, not quite as good as when the
Tampa Bay Rays had a giveaway for their franchise player
to only kids under a certain age, who then was
(20:29):
arrested for stooping a kid anyway, All right now, final
point here. Following the announcement, Jared durand or the Red
Sox was made available to reporters in the Socks clubhouse.
He took a few questions. The money quote from Jared
Duran he said, I am sorry for my actions and
(20:49):
I'm going to work on being better.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Close quote, So what do you take away?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
What did you take away from Jared Durant's apology to
the Boston fans through the media in Boston. So I
watched this. It wasn't very long, so I could watch
the whole thing. It was like being at a theater
on Broadway. It was choreographed, and I was about ready
to give a Tony Award to Jared Duran for his delivery,
(21:18):
except he wasn't very good at repeating the talking points
memo from the PR staff there, the damage control people
for the Red Sox because he had his blinkers on.
Now what does that mean? Let me explain rapid blinking.
Rapid blinking the FBI Handbook. This goes back many years.
(21:40):
I use this all the time when we look at
public statements of apology or whatnot. The statement that Jared
Duran made when talking to reporters, he kept blinking, which
tells you that he was stressed because he was lying.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
He was lying.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
That's a sign according to the FBI Handbook. Anyway, That's
what it says right there. I'm just basing it off.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
That.

Speaker 7 (22:13):
After dropping three or four to the Diamondbacks, the Phillies
had at that point lost seventeen to their last twenty
five games. Yeah, Ben, Is there any hope of turning
things around for Philadelphia?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Absolutely, it's a brand new season in the postseason. The
Phillies have players that have had big time offensive numbers
in their careers. That's a team that scares me. If
you look at the national league, that's the team that
scares me most as a Dodger fan, the Phillies.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Next, videos of Nikola Jokic, presumably drunk and celebrating Serbia's
bronze medal have gone viral. Now many have been suggesting
that Jokic was more excited to win bronze than he
was to win the NBA finals. Ben, do you think
that's true?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yes, I saw the video. He looked melancholy when the
Nuggets on was like, thank god, I can go back
and play with my horses. But now after that, it
was this is like the greatest thing in the world.
Speaker 4 (23:02):

up performers for the French national team. He wants a
second chance in the NBA, he posterized lebron Do you
think he's gonna get a second chance?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
No, because he's like almost thirty and he sucked when
he was in the NBA before. How do we know
you pass any day way you get.

Put on the bard.

the school yard.
