Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are all warm and fuzzy here. It's our number
far going bonkers. In hour number four, what does the
report out that says that Girrod Mayo, instead of coaching,
was playing cards, playing cards with his Patriot players in
the back of a team playing What does that report
(00:21):
say about Girod Mayo's tenure with the Patriots? Who do
you think leaked the Girrod Mayo story? And we'll also
talk about Eli Manning saying that he would like to
buy buy part of the New York Giants and join
the ownership ranks. What are the chances that works out?
I'm just saying, what are the chances we'll get to
(00:42):
all that and more? Right now here? It is our
number four fun in the friendly Scots having a grand time.
Let me tell you something. There's nothing quite like, nothing
quite like the friends. Guys, Well, gome me. In the
(01:03):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show, we
are in.
Speaker 2 (01:08):

(01:57):
hour coming up here momentary. I did want to mention
before we get going here again, just a reminder, we
do the show from Los Angeles and LA has been
facing a firestorm. There's no other way to say. It's
like a hurricane of fire. It's been just unreal. So
our thoughts go out to all the people were on
(02:18):
right now and a lot of people that have been
taken away from their homes. Whether their homes were burned
down or not, we don't know, but they are in
shelters and staying other places, and there's first responders working
all night trying to put out the fires. Even Hollywood
Boulevard was evacuated. There was a fire right above in
the Hollywood Hills that burned a bunch of homes up there.
(02:41):
So there's a fire pretty much all around, all around us.
But unlike Kawhi Leonard, we're actually we're here we're working
so anyway, our lead this hour from Foxborough, where the
Patriots later today are going to meet with the guy
that they supposedly want to be their coach, Mike Rabel,
(03:03):
the coach that exited stage left though Gerrod Mayo, he
was let go earlier this week the Patriots finished four
and thirteen. Now Robert Kraft put on a show. He said, listen,
it was unfair, blah blah blah blah. But now the
other shoe has dropped. The other shoe has dropped. In
the Girodmeo story, the plot thickens. If you have not heard,
(03:26):
and perhaps not, perhaps not, we are told that girod
Mayo was multitasking. Not only was Girod Mayo a football coach,
he was also a card shark. Say why so, let's
say give a hot up time machine, New England. After
their bye week, they played the Arizona football team, the Cardinals,
(03:51):
and they lost that game thirty to seventeen. It wasn't
close at all. They got outplayed by the lowly Cardinals.
And then Mayo, we are told, based on breathless reporting
behind a paywallt the Old Gray Ladies Athletic, that Mayo decided,
you know what I want to do. I want to
go to the back of the plane because the coaches
(04:12):
in the front office people sit in the front of plane.
I want to know the back of the plane. And
I want to hang out on that long flight from
Phoenix back to the Providence, and I want to hang
out rather than watch film. And I would like to
play a nice game of cards. I would like to
play a nice game of poker, is what I would
like to do. And so that's what he did. And
(04:34):
this is being used as evidence that he's in over
his head, that he doesn't know what he's doing. And
that is not the job of Girod Mayo to go
play cards in the back of the plane when your
team just got their face bashed in by another bad
team in the Cardinals. So let us discuss the question,
what does this latest reporting, Okay, this latest reporting, what
(04:56):
does it say about Gerrod Mayo and his tenure with
the Patriots. So I've got blurry Vision, Bazooka, and Bob Dylan,
and we will combine all all of these things together,
and we are going to dress the part and make
(05:17):
the Baba Ga nouche. We're gonna make the Baba ga
nouch is what.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
We're gonna make.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So to kick off, it would appear based on what
I read. I don't know how accurate it is, but
it was very good bathroom reading. Garrod Mayo must be
a tennis fan. Why do I say Girod Mao is
a tennis fan? Because there were a whole lot of
unforced errors from Gerrod Mao. A lot of unforced errors here.
(05:42):
Who goofed? I've got to know you talk about blurry
vision or in this case, blurry boundaries. I get the
whole Girod Mayo was going to be the antithesis of
Bill Belichick, and you know he was the epitome of
what Belichick had been. He wanted to get along with
the players and all that. However, lines were definitely crossed
(06:04):
when it comes to this. The Patriots got blown to
smither rings by the Cardinals, and while most of the
other support staff had their faces buried in their laptops
studying the highlights or low lights of the Patriots game,
Mayos stretched down the hall and it's like, I want
(06:25):
to go back and schmooze a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
He did.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It is a break of custom. It is a break
of football custom rather than focus on the Super Bowl,
it appears that Mayo also wants to win the World
Series of Poker. And even if you were pretending to
watch film, you gotta play the game. It's a game
of charades. You gotta play the game of charades. You
(06:51):
gotta put up an Academy Award level performance and make
it seem make it seem like you're not even gonna
come up for air. Your head is just buried in
that and you're trying to figure out why the team
looks like death warmed over all? Right, Now, furthermore, who
do you think leaked lead to Rod Meyo's story? We
know it's out there. We like to uncover sources on
(07:15):
this show, and that part is rather easy. You always
ask the following questions, who is driving the narrative? Right,
who's driving the narrative? What do they stand to gain?
And the answer there's a line from both those questions
that goes to the Craft family and back to this story.
(07:40):
They have been absolutely getting cooked all right, all the
usual race hustlers in the media. Oh the Patriots are racist,
you know, going on on and all the horrible people.
And so they waited a couple of days. And then
they weaponized this story. They put the bazooka out and
they set the bazooka ca boom in the atomic elbow
(08:07):
from the top rope. If you're looking to send Gerrod
Mayo to the shadow realm, mission accomplished, right, mission accomplished.
That this guy was so far in over his head
he didn't know what he was doing, that he was
more concerned about trying to get the Ace of Spades
(08:27):
than he was about trying to stop the the cover two,
you know, the whole thing, or trying to beat the
cover two. It's like he was he was given or
the Patriots were given one of those almost always fold
them hands, Like Robert Kraft thought he was getting an ace,
(08:47):
and he thought he was getting the King of Hearts,
and instead he got a two and a seven and
a joker. And that's it. That's it, that's all. And
Mayo you believe the reporting was in over his head.
All I know is the product on the field was
bad and it didn't get any better. It was the
(09:10):
same crap bag product. They didn't hold together. There was
no tangible improvement year to year from what Bill Belichick
left to what Gerrod MAO did. So that's what we know.
Nothing changed, all right, last thing, we now head to
New Jersey where they are not singing kumbaya. The Giants
(09:32):
did not fire their GM they did not fire their
head coach. The Jets, they're the ones that got rid
of everybody but the Giants. They could gain a new owner.
Say what, let me explain. So very mediocre quarterback Eli Manning,
the personification of average Eli Manning, and he said recently
(09:58):
that he would like to become a minority owner of
his old team. Now it's not up to him, right,
the Mara family has to decide whether or not they
want to sell him a stake in the team, right,
the Mara family. Now, Eli Manning again, for those of
you little late, Eli Manning said that he would like
(10:18):
to buy part of the New York Football Giants and
join that ownership group. What are the chances that this
actually works out? So I am going to put the
chances on this at twenty five percent. Twenty five percent.
And here's why. The Mara family has owned the Giants
since the team was founded in nineteen twenty five. It's
(10:41):
one hundred years ago, my computer like brain tells me.
And they have that team in a choke hold all right. Nevertheless,
as Bob Dylan saying years ago, the times they are
a changing, a change, right, Many NFL teams have started
to contemplate the small sale of a little bit part
(11:06):
minority stake minority state in the franchise. This after the
NFL allowed it. They voted recently to allow private equity
investment for up to that's weasel terminology, up to again
weasel terminology, up to ten percent of each franchise. That
(11:27):
was back in August, So here we are in January.
That's how Tom Brady and his business partner acquired a
ten percent steak in the Raiders back in October. The
Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills, the Philadelphia Eagles have also
sold ten percent chunks of the team to uber wealthy
(11:50):
aristocrats and robber barons and oligarchs in recent months. So
stay tuned now. Maning does not have enough money on
his own to pay the man, so he's gonna have
to get some help. Manning, he's really in some trouble financially.
He's only worth one hundred and sixty million. Man life
(12:13):
must be tough, so he's worth one hundred and sixty million.
Not bad for a five hundred quarterback in his career.
Mediocre quarterback. However, he's gonna need hedge fund people to
help him out. Sugar daddies, where's my sugar daddy, That's
what he's saying now. Fortunately, he's already got his own
(12:34):
sugar daddy in his back pocket. You see, Eli, we
are told, is a partner at a private equity firm
based in Manhattan, so he's already gotten in. How does
a five hundred quarterback with limited education end up in
a private equity firm? Hmm? You think the people that
(12:55):
reached out to him are giants fans? Nah, never, that
would ever happen, right, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
ever ever. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Yeah, that's
the ticket. That's the ticket right there. Clearly when you
put that under a microscope, there's no funny business, no
(13:17):
funny business at all. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show, which has now gone
(15:37):
thirty one years as the most watched NFL pregame show.
Yeah wow. Fox NFL Sunday averaged four point four million
viewers each week through the season. I'm very Marcel was
one of the people watching. So Terry Bradshaw's been there.
(15:59):
Terry and how and Jimmy have been there since the
very beginning, but over the years, the James Brown was
there for a while. In fact, when I used to
do a radio show with Terry Bradshaw in the nineties
and back then, Terry he invited us over to the
Avocado room at the Fox lots, so we got to
hang out with them on set at the NFL pregame show,
(16:24):
and Chris Collinsworth was actually on the panel at that time,
and now he's the Sunday Night guy. But he was
there as a panelist on the Sunday Night Football, or
rather the pregame show. Now he's on Sunday Night Football.
So anyway, thirty one years, I'm not gonna I don't
watch the Fox pregame show anymore. I don't, but many
(16:44):

Speaker 3 (17:23):
How's everybody doing?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Hello Bill?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Jeez, what are you yelling about?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I was gonna talk about something else, but now now
you got to me start on these pregame shows, all
these pregame shows, the college ones. What a joke they
turned out to beat these guys jumping into the crowd
and it's just ridiculous. There's shows they're not talking about football.
I might be an old time football guy, but I'd
like to learn something about the game or whatever you're
(17:51):
gonna learn.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You're gonna you're gonna learn whether or not they will
make the field goal attempt for twenty thousand dollars or not.
That's what you're gonna learn.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It's ridiculous. That's absolut ridiculous. But let me get out
of what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to
talk about the you guys talk about getting your how
many bruises on your banana and then not not taking them.
I go by that one on my women. How many
bruises I got on them before I kicked them out?
But you know, I don't understand you guys got this.
We have a police force here in Jacksonville. It's a
(18:21):
complete joke. Okay, how many years and you're gonna have
fires out there without knowing about it ahead of time
cause that be your cars and pee on the fire
fire for crying out loud.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That's it's a great idea. Everyone, everyone just peas at
the same time. They'll put the thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Don't get out and pee at the same time. Because
it's so ridiculous. How many years you're going to keep
going on ahead.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Of Well, it's it's the political people. I mean, you
could cut back on a lot of some of these
you have nothing, there's nothing to do. But a lot
of the time they will not cut back on the
the overgrown plants and whatnot. And so that.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Leads three years. It's oh, you got a fire, Oh gee,
what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Oh g it happens every year. I don't know what
to tell you. It's ridiculous. All upset the environmental people.
So they don't want they.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Don't want to do that, and then take a fire
and stick your feet on. Get some marshmallows or something.
But over with.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Okay, Well, because you said that, Bill, we'll all urinate
on the fire.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm gonna go out right now. I'm gonna go outside
the seat. There's a fire up in hill. I'm gonna
go urinate on the fire. I'll be back later, okay, Okay,
thank you. Yeah, very funny. The annoying angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
He took a little break, a very emotional last time.
Now he's back to being a schmuck. Back to his
old self. Thank god, thank god he's being back to
his old self. My god. Well, tonight it is on.
I am fired up now. Normally I get ready for
a little Thursday night NFL the playoffs, playoffs, they don't
(19:58):
kick off to this weekend in the NFL. Well, and
we have a big time college football game which is
going to company spent a bunch of money sending people
down there.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I did not get invited. But tonight it is Notre
Dame and Penn's State, and I checked out over on
DraftKings the number Notre Dame is a one and a
half point favorite, so very small, number one and a
half point favorite Notre Dame over Penn State. The total
(20:28):
on that game is forty five and a half over
under the money line. Notre Dame on DraftKings a minus
one to eighteen on the money line. And then tomorrow, tomorrow,
tomorrow that game Notre Dame Penn State's in Miami, but
in Texas you have in Arlington, you're gonna have Ohio
State and the Texas Longhorns and the Buck guys who
(20:51):
have been an absolute juggernaut on DraftKings' sportsbook. The Buck
guys are a six point favorite in that game game
the over under fifty three and a half and the
money line Ohio State a minus two to twenty five
favorite on the money line. If you don't know how
(21:11):
that works, that implies that the buck guys, based just
based on the money line, Ohio State has a sixty
nine percent chance a sixty nine percent chance of winning
that game. That's the implied odds based on that. Anyways,
let's go to late night drug tester. He says, if
(21:34):
Gerrod Mayo wanted to keep his job, he should have
called up a massage therapy session for the owner instead
of playing cards on the plane. Yeah. Well, that's the
kind of story we talked about in the monologue. But
as you know, that's the kind of story where if
the Patriots were okay with Mayo, meaning they wanted to
(21:56):
give more time. That's the kind of story that never
gets out. But it's hilarious because this happens all the
time in most places, but it used to be specifically
in places like Boston where they get rid of someone
who's popular. Now, Mao was not really that popular, but
when they get rid of a popular player, they bashed
the player. I remember when the Red Sox were popular
(22:17):
and they got rid of Nomar Garcia Para. They traded
him to the Cubs at the trade.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Deadline one year.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
That was the year they won the World Series, actually,
and it was unpopular. People were like, what's up with that?
And then so they leaked some negative stories about no
ma And then I remember when Manny Ramirez was traded
to La so he could get some estrogen with the Dodgers,
and they buried many Ramirez, right, they did every dirty story,
(22:44):
every naughty story about Manny Ramirez. They tossed all of that,
all of that out there back in the day. So
the Patriots, you know, you look at this particular story,
the Patriots, they're like, hey, you're ripping us. This is
bad publicity for us. So we're gonna counter strike, body blow,
body blow, body blow girod Mao. And that's exactly what
(23:09):
they did, exact de mundo what they did. Now the
baseball hot stove, which has not been very hot. The
stove has not been hot at all. So there is
a couple of things out there. Cheating astro, cheating astro.
(23:29):
Alex Bregman has not found a new home. Shocking that
he's having trouble finding a place to play baseball because
he's despised everywhere. But Houston, Toronto, and Boston continue to
be the most likely most likely destinations for that cheating
a hole. I did see Rafael Devers liked a video
(23:52):
suggesting that he changed his positions to accommodate Alex Bregman. Okay,
here you are. And speaking of the hot stove league
mentioned this week, Justin Verlanders signed with the Giants. There's
all kinds of rumors that Vladimir Guerrero is going to
be traded and Peter Alonzo he does not have a job.
(24:15):
Peter Alonzo of the New York Metropolitans still out there
looking looking for work. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox is the number eight seven seven nine nine six
sixty three sixty nine. The yearly tradition has continued in
the NFL, where every year the Dallas Cowboys break your heart. No,
(24:36):
normally they make the playoffs and they lose on wild
card weekend. That's usually what happens, right, But at some
point the Cowboys will be eliminated, usually on Wildcard weekend,
and then the cycle begins a new The cycle begins
a new and it's already having now the Cowboys the
(24:57):
Circus act, the buffoon Or of the Cowboys, with Jerry
Jones as the ringmaster of the circus. He has already
begun for twenty twenty six. You see that Micah Parsons,
say what?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
That Micah Parsons. Micah Parsons has worked his magic. He
has announced that the Cowboys aren't going to win the
Super Bowl. That's right, Parsons declaring that the team will
get it done. The most valuable team in all the sports,
(25:34):
the Dallas Cowboys, America's team. He may say, bold prediction,
he said, twenty twenty five going to be an amazing
thing to see next year when we are holding the trophy. Now,
a couple of thoughts. A. Obviously, you you say this, right,
you say, hey, we're gonna win the championship, because what
(25:55):
are you supposed to say?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
We're not.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We're not planning on winning the championship, all right, We're
gonna try to be mediocre. So you say that. You
got to believe that. But doesn't he say this every year? Now,
if you look at the calendar, the way this normally
works in it's coming up in late January, when free
agency really kind of gets going, well, not freezing, the coaching,
(26:18):
the coaching carousel, the draft, all that stuff. Late January February,
Jerry Jones comes out announced he's all in. Then in February,
the Cowboys will sign a free agent that has a
good name but no game washed up at this point
nice accolades on Pro Football Reference, So they'll do that.
(26:42):
Then around around March the Combines and the NFL Draft
in April, so then you'll get all the excitement. The
Cowboys have their eye on this game changing player. And
then from after the draft in May until June, the
(27:02):
Cowboys will be talked up. They'll be polished. The people
be slobbering all over them and pumping up the balloon
how great the Dallas Cowboys are going to be. Then
we get to July and training camp and August, and
Jerry Jones in early August will say, man, this team
(27:23):
is ready to go. Coach Blank is doing a great job,
Player Blank looks amazing. Going to be a special year
for these Dallas Cowboys. Then in September, the new NFL
season will begin. Optimism will be in the air everywhere.
The Cowboys will start out playing very good football. Everyone
(27:43):
will get all excited and they'll be the talk of
the NFL. And then in October, the Cowboys will continue
to play pretty good football, beating a bunch of tomato
cans playing the hostess schedule as they knock out a
bunch of crap bag teams. Then we get to November.
Cowboys play their first real opponent in the month of November,
(28:04):
and they get punched in the face and lose. Then
in December, Jerry Jones says that he's never felt more
confident that this is gonna be the year, that this
is a special Cowboy team. And then by the time
we get to the end of December, and if you're
in the playoffs, the Cowboys then need a lifeguard because
(28:28):
they are drowning. Rinse, wash, repeat. It is the circle
of life for the Dallas Cowboys, the never ending circle
of life for the Cowboys, and Micah Parsons has announced
that it's gonna end. The drought is going to end.
The Cowboys are going to win. Now, somebody in basketball
(28:53):
as we turn the page, somebody in basketball that gets
cowboy level hype for doing thing. Now, I know every
time I bring up the NBA, I have people. You
know that guy in Muskegan's gonna be all upset, right Dale,
He'll be, Oh, I'm trying to drop my snowplow and
I gotta hear you talk about basketball. But this is
a funny story. So Bronnie James sucks at basketball. He's
(29:19):
really good at the genetic lottery, getting that James nest egg.
He's twenty years old. He shouldn't be in the NBA,
should have a real job somewhere. So Bronnie James is terrible.
You know how many votes he got? How many votes
have been cast for Bronnie James to be on the
All Star team? How about eight thousand? Over eight thousand people. Now,
(29:45):
I know a lot of these are gag votes, but
Bronnie James this season, remember that that bull crap contrived
lebron Bronnie moment made for TV moment with the podcast
coach JJ Reddick. Is anybody in over their head than
JJ Reddick? But anyway, Bronnie James, if you're wondering how
he's doing, he's averaging zero point five points per game.
(30:08):
That is half of one point zero point one rebounds
and zero point four assists. His shooting percentage is one
to one point one from the field, and he has
played in the G League where he's not playing well either.
(30:30):
He's shooting thirty six percent in the G League, twenty
one percent from three point range, so he sucks there also.
But Bronnie James getting a bunch of votes, a bunch
of votes, and there's chatter that the NBA marketing people
are going to have him play. This is hilarious in
(30:52):
the Rising Stars game. Shouldn't that be the Falling Star
not the Rising Star All Star Weekend in the NBA.
My goodness, my goodness, Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Seriously?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Well, you know, you know we're doing. We have the camera.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Do you know what that means?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I'll take your answer off here. Hold on three stories,
figure out which the three is not true? Story Number
one le Angelo Ball. He's the one Ball brother that
didn't make it in the NBA. But I mean he's
not part of the NBA. Over the last couple weeks
of the Angelo's new song, Tweakers, song about Jedhu fled Now.
(37:26):
Tweakers has become a viral sensation on TikTok. Has become
so popular that Ball will now perform at Rolling Loud
Festival in California. Unless we made that up. Yeah, song
called Tweakers a Canadian collab. You know, if you're a
(37:46):
fan of Canadian hip hop and a fan of hockey,
you're in luck. Drake's clothing line recently announced a partnership
with Wayne Gretzky for new collection called The Great One.
The items in the line arranged from a sixty eight
dollars snap back sixty eight dollars for a snapback or
T shirt all the way all the way up to
(38:07):
a eight hun ninety eight dollars varsity jacket and story
number three. The Golden Globe Awards aired live this past weekend,
but not everyone in attendance was fully invested in who
was winning the award. It was revealed that actor Dak
Sheppard was busy streaming the Lions wean over the vikings
(38:29):
on his phone. Shepherd, lifelong Lions fan, was later invited
by the team to lead the crowd singing the team's
fight song at their first playoff game. All right, those
are the three stories. One of them is not true,
the other two are true. Separate fiction from fact. Jack
to Judge and Leslie Spring Trending Home of the Pirates
one to or three Jack number three, All right, thank
(38:53):
you Jack, All right, thank you Jack. What about you Milkman,
Mike one to or three milk Man. Oh, let's go
choose number one number one. Let me know when the
malor Fowler returns, and I'll have to plan my schedule accordingly.
Daniel is in Fort Wayne, Daniel the Crossing Guard. One
(39:13):
tour three Daniels not to concede number three, number three,
Doyle driving around Ottawa for no reason. Doyle one to
or three, Doyle number two, Sir number two. How about
Shane in the moy Shane and the moy quickly Shane
number one, number one, along with Kelly and de Moye.
(39:35):
No wrong. The fake story was story number three. That
dak Shepherd's story that was not completely true. That was
the fake one.
We are all warm and fuzzy here. It's our number
far going bonkers. In hour number four, what does the
report out that says that Girrod Mayo, instead of coaching,
was playing cards, playing cards with his Patriot players in
the back of a team playing What does that report
(00:21):
say about Girod Mayo's tenure with the Patriots? Who do
you think leaked the Girrod Mayo story? And we'll also
talk about Eli Manning saying that he would like to
buy buy part of the New York Giants and join
the ownership ranks. What are the chances that works out?
I'm just saying, what are the chances we'll get to
(00:42):
all that and more? Right now here? It is our
number four fun in the friendly Scots having a grand time.
Let me tell you something. There's nothing quite like, nothing
quite like the friends. Guys, Well, gome me. In the
(01:03):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show, we
are in.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
The air everywhere right nearby as Adventure oh Waits coast

fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tyraq dot com the Way the Tire
Buying Show b and we'll get to our lead this
(01:57):
hour coming up here momentary. I did want to mention
before we get going here again, just a reminder, we
do the show from Los Angeles and LA has been
facing a firestorm. There's no other way to say. It's
like a hurricane of fire. It's been just unreal. So
our thoughts go out to all the people were on
(02:18):
right now and a lot of people that have been
taken away from their homes. Whether their homes were burned
down or not, we don't know, but they are in
shelters and staying other places, and there's first responders working
all night trying to put out the fires. Even Hollywood
Boulevard was evacuated. There was a fire right above in
the Hollywood Hills that burned a bunch of homes up there.
(02:41):
So there's a fire pretty much all around, all around us.
But unlike Kawhi Leonard, we're actually we're here we're working
so anyway, our lead this hour from Foxborough, where the
Patriots later today are going to meet with the guy
that they supposedly want to be their coach, Mike Rabel,
(03:03):
the coach that exited stage left though Gerrod Mayo, he
was let go earlier this week the Patriots finished four
and thirteen. Now Robert Kraft put on a show. He said, listen,
it was unfair, blah blah blah blah. But now the
other shoe has dropped. The other shoe has dropped. In
the Girodmeo story, the plot thickens. If you have not heard,
(03:26):
and perhaps not, perhaps not, we are told that girod
Mayo was multitasking. Not only was Girod Mayo a football coach,
he was also a card shark. Say why so, let's
say give a hot up time machine, New England. After
their bye week, they played the Arizona football team, the Cardinals,
(03:51):
and they lost that game thirty to seventeen. It wasn't
close at all. They got outplayed by the lowly Cardinals.
And then Mayo, we are told, based on breathless reporting
behind a paywallt the Old Gray Ladies Athletic, that Mayo decided,
you know what I want to do. I want to
go to the back of the plane because the coaches
(04:12):
in the front office people sit in the front of plane.
I want to know the back of the plane. And
I want to hang out on that long flight from
Phoenix back to the Providence, and I want to hang
out rather than watch film. And I would like to
play a nice game of cards. I would like to
play a nice game of poker, is what I would
like to do. And so that's what he did. And
(04:34):
this is being used as evidence that he's in over
his head, that he doesn't know what he's doing. And
that is not the job of Girod Mayo to go
play cards in the back of the plane when your
team just got their face bashed in by another bad
team in the Cardinals. So let us discuss the question,
what does this latest reporting, Okay, this latest reporting, what
(04:56):
does it say about Gerrod Mayo and his tenure with
the Patriots. So I've got blurry Vision, Bazooka, and Bob Dylan,
and we will combine all all of these things together,
and we are going to dress the part and make
(05:17):
the Baba Ga nouche. We're gonna make the Baba ga
nouch is what.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
We're gonna make.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So to kick off, it would appear based on what
I read. I don't know how accurate it is, but
it was very good bathroom reading. Garrod Mayo must be
a tennis fan. Why do I say Girod Mao is
a tennis fan? Because there were a whole lot of
unforced errors from Gerrod Mao. A lot of unforced errors here.
(05:42):
Who goofed? I've got to know you talk about blurry
vision or in this case, blurry boundaries. I get the
whole Girod Mayo was going to be the antithesis of
Bill Belichick, and you know he was the epitome of
what Belichick had been. He wanted to get along with
the players and all that. However, lines were definitely crossed
(06:04):
when it comes to this. The Patriots got blown to
smither rings by the Cardinals, and while most of the
other support staff had their faces buried in their laptops
studying the highlights or low lights of the Patriots game,
Mayos stretched down the hall and it's like, I want
(06:25):
to go back and schmooze a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
He did.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It is a break of custom. It is a break
of football custom rather than focus on the Super Bowl,
it appears that Mayo also wants to win the World
Series of Poker. And even if you were pretending to
watch film, you gotta play the game. It's a game
of charades. You gotta play the game of charades. You
(06:51):
gotta put up an Academy Award level performance and make
it seem make it seem like you're not even gonna
come up for air. Your head is just buried in
that and you're trying to figure out why the team
looks like death warmed over all? Right, Now, furthermore, who
do you think leaked lead to Rod Meyo's story? We
know it's out there. We like to uncover sources on
(07:15):
this show, and that part is rather easy. You always
ask the following questions, who is driving the narrative? Right,
who's driving the narrative? What do they stand to gain?
And the answer there's a line from both those questions
that goes to the Craft family and back to this story.
(07:40):
They have been absolutely getting cooked all right, all the
usual race hustlers in the media. Oh the Patriots are racist,
you know, going on on and all the horrible people.
And so they waited a couple of days. And then
they weaponized this story. They put the bazooka out and
they set the bazooka ca boom in the atomic elbow
(08:07):
from the top rope. If you're looking to send Gerrod
Mayo to the shadow realm, mission accomplished, right, mission accomplished.
That this guy was so far in over his head
he didn't know what he was doing, that he was
more concerned about trying to get the Ace of Spades
(08:27):
than he was about trying to stop the the cover two,
you know, the whole thing, or trying to beat the
cover two. It's like he was he was given or
the Patriots were given one of those almost always fold
them hands, Like Robert Kraft thought he was getting an ace,
(08:47):
and he thought he was getting the King of Hearts,
and instead he got a two and a seven and
a joker. And that's it. That's it, that's all. And
Mayo you believe the reporting was in over his head.
All I know is the product on the field was
bad and it didn't get any better. It was the
(09:10):
same crap bag product. They didn't hold together. There was
no tangible improvement year to year from what Bill Belichick
left to what Gerrod MAO did. So that's what we know.
Nothing changed, all right, last thing, we now head to
New Jersey where they are not singing kumbaya. The Giants
(09:32):
did not fire their GM they did not fire their
head coach. The Jets, they're the ones that got rid
of everybody but the Giants. They could gain a new owner.
Say what, let me explain. So very mediocre quarterback Eli Manning,
the personification of average Eli Manning, and he said recently
(09:58):
that he would like to become a minority owner of
his old team. Now it's not up to him, right,
the Mara family has to decide whether or not they
want to sell him a stake in the team, right,
the Mara family. Now, Eli Manning again, for those of
you little late, Eli Manning said that he would like
(10:18):
to buy part of the New York Football Giants and
join that ownership group. What are the chances that this
actually works out? So I am going to put the
chances on this at twenty five percent. Twenty five percent.
And here's why. The Mara family has owned the Giants
since the team was founded in nineteen twenty five. It's
(10:41):
one hundred years ago, my computer like brain tells me.
And they have that team in a choke hold all right. Nevertheless,
as Bob Dylan saying years ago, the times they are
a changing, a change, right, Many NFL teams have started
to contemplate the small sale of a little bit part
(11:06):
minority stake minority state in the franchise. This after the
NFL allowed it. They voted recently to allow private equity
investment for up to that's weasel terminology, up to again
weasel terminology, up to ten percent of each franchise. That
(11:27):
was back in August, So here we are in January.
That's how Tom Brady and his business partner acquired a
ten percent steak in the Raiders back in October. The
Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills, the Philadelphia Eagles have also
sold ten percent chunks of the team to uber wealthy
(11:50):
aristocrats and robber barons and oligarchs in recent months. So
stay tuned now. Maning does not have enough money on
his own to pay the man, so he's gonna have
to get some help. Manning, he's really in some trouble financially.
He's only worth one hundred and sixty million. Man life
(12:13):
must be tough, so he's worth one hundred and sixty million.
Not bad for a five hundred quarterback in his career.
Mediocre quarterback. However, he's gonna need hedge fund people to
help him out. Sugar daddies, where's my sugar daddy, That's
what he's saying now. Fortunately, he's already got his own
(12:34):
sugar daddy in his back pocket. You see, Eli, we
are told, is a partner at a private equity firm
based in Manhattan, so he's already gotten in. How does
a five hundred quarterback with limited education end up in
a private equity firm? Hmm? You think the people that
(12:55):
reached out to him are giants fans? Nah, never, that
would ever happen, right, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
ever ever. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Yeah, that's
the ticket. That's the ticket right there. Clearly when you
put that under a microscope, there's no funny business, no
(13:17):
funny business at all. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show, which has now gone
(15:37):
thirty one years as the most watched NFL pregame show.
Yeah wow. Fox NFL Sunday averaged four point four million
viewers each week through the season. I'm very Marcel was
one of the people watching. So Terry Bradshaw's been there.
(15:59):
Terry and how and Jimmy have been there since the
very beginning, but over the years, the James Brown was
there for a while. In fact, when I used to
do a radio show with Terry Bradshaw in the nineties
and back then, Terry he invited us over to the
Avocado room at the Fox lots, so we got to
hang out with them on set at the NFL pregame show,
(16:24):
and Chris Collinsworth was actually on the panel at that time,
and now he's the Sunday Night guy. But he was
there as a panelist on the Sunday Night Football, or
rather the pregame show. Now he's on Sunday Night Football.
So anyway, thirty one years, I'm not gonna I don't
watch the Fox pregame show anymore. I don't, but many
(16:44):

consecutive thirty one consecutive season now and they have a

Speaker 3 (17:23):
How's everybody doing?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Hello Bill?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Jeez, what are you yelling about?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I was gonna talk about something else, but now now
you got to me start on these pregame shows, all
these pregame shows, the college ones. What a joke they
turned out to beat these guys jumping into the crowd
and it's just ridiculous. There's shows they're not talking about football.
I might be an old time football guy, but I'd
like to learn something about the game or whatever you're
(17:51):
gonna learn.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You're gonna you're gonna learn whether or not they will
make the field goal attempt for twenty thousand dollars or not.
That's what you're gonna learn.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It's ridiculous. That's absolut ridiculous. But let me get out
of what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to
talk about the you guys talk about getting your how
many bruises on your banana and then not not taking them.
I go by that one on my women. How many
bruises I got on them before I kicked them out?
But you know, I don't understand you guys got this.
We have a police force here in Jacksonville. It's a
(18:21):
complete joke. Okay, how many years and you're gonna have
fires out there without knowing about it ahead of time
cause that be your cars and pee on the fire
fire for crying out loud.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That's it's a great idea. Everyone, everyone just peas at
the same time. They'll put the thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Don't get out and pee at the same time. Because
it's so ridiculous. How many years you're going to keep
going on ahead.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Of Well, it's it's the political people. I mean, you
could cut back on a lot of some of these
you have nothing, there's nothing to do. But a lot
of the time they will not cut back on the
the overgrown plants and whatnot. And so that.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Leads three years. It's oh, you got a fire, Oh gee,
what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Oh g it happens every year. I don't know what
to tell you. It's ridiculous. All upset the environmental people.
So they don't want they.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Don't want to do that, and then take a fire
and stick your feet on. Get some marshmallows or something.
But over with.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Okay, Well, because you said that, Bill, we'll all urinate
on the fire.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm gonna go out right now. I'm gonna go outside
the seat. There's a fire up in hill. I'm gonna
go urinate on the fire. I'll be back later, okay, Okay,
thank you. Yeah, very funny. The annoying angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
He took a little break, a very emotional last time.
Now he's back to being a schmuck. Back to his
old self. Thank god, thank god he's being back to
his old self. My god. Well, tonight it is on.
I am fired up now. Normally I get ready for
a little Thursday night NFL the playoffs, playoffs, they don't
(19:58):
kick off to this weekend in the NFL. Well, and
we have a big time college football game which is
going to company spent a bunch of money sending people
down there.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I did not get invited. But tonight it is Notre
Dame and Penn's State, and I checked out over on
DraftKings the number Notre Dame is a one and a
half point favorite, so very small, number one and a
half point favorite Notre Dame over Penn State. The total
(20:28):
on that game is forty five and a half over
under the money line. Notre Dame on DraftKings a minus
one to eighteen on the money line. And then tomorrow, tomorrow,
tomorrow that game Notre Dame Penn State's in Miami, but
in Texas you have in Arlington, you're gonna have Ohio
State and the Texas Longhorns and the Buck guys who
(20:51):
have been an absolute juggernaut on DraftKings' sportsbook. The Buck
guys are a six point favorite in that game game
the over under fifty three and a half and the
money line Ohio State a minus two to twenty five
favorite on the money line. If you don't know how
(21:11):
that works, that implies that the buck guys, based just
based on the money line, Ohio State has a sixty
nine percent chance a sixty nine percent chance of winning
that game. That's the implied odds based on that. Anyways,
let's go to late night drug tester. He says, if
(21:34):
Gerrod Mayo wanted to keep his job, he should have
called up a massage therapy session for the owner instead
of playing cards on the plane. Yeah. Well, that's the
kind of story we talked about in the monologue. But
as you know, that's the kind of story where if
the Patriots were okay with Mayo, meaning they wanted to
(21:56):
give more time. That's the kind of story that never
gets out. But it's hilarious because this happens all the
time in most places, but it used to be specifically
in places like Boston where they get rid of someone
who's popular. Now, Mao was not really that popular, but
when they get rid of a popular player, they bashed
the player. I remember when the Red Sox were popular
(22:17):
and they got rid of Nomar Garcia Para. They traded
him to the Cubs at the trade.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Deadline one year.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
That was the year they won the World Series, actually,
and it was unpopular. People were like, what's up with that?
And then so they leaked some negative stories about no
ma And then I remember when Manny Ramirez was traded
to La so he could get some estrogen with the Dodgers,
and they buried many Ramirez, right, they did every dirty story,
(22:44):
every naughty story about Manny Ramirez. They tossed all of that,
all of that out there back in the day. So
the Patriots, you know, you look at this particular story,
the Patriots, they're like, hey, you're ripping us. This is
bad publicity for us. So we're gonna counter strike, body blow,
body blow, body blow girod Mao. And that's exactly what
(23:09):
they did, exact de mundo what they did. Now the
baseball hot stove, which has not been very hot. The
stove has not been hot at all. So there is
a couple of things out there. Cheating astro, cheating astro.
(23:29):
Alex Bregman has not found a new home. Shocking that
he's having trouble finding a place to play baseball because
he's despised everywhere. But Houston, Toronto, and Boston continue to
be the most likely most likely destinations for that cheating
a hole. I did see Rafael Devers liked a video
(23:52):
suggesting that he changed his positions to accommodate Alex Bregman. Okay,
here you are. And speaking of the hot stove league
mentioned this week, Justin Verlanders signed with the Giants. There's
all kinds of rumors that Vladimir Guerrero is going to
be traded and Peter Alonzo he does not have a job.
(24:15):
Peter Alonzo of the New York Metropolitans still out there
looking looking for work. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox is the number eight seven seven nine nine six
sixty three sixty nine. The yearly tradition has continued in
the NFL, where every year the Dallas Cowboys break your heart. No,
(24:36):
normally they make the playoffs and they lose on wild
card weekend. That's usually what happens, right, But at some
point the Cowboys will be eliminated, usually on Wildcard weekend,
and then the cycle begins a new The cycle begins
a new and it's already having now the Cowboys the
(24:57):
Circus act, the buffoon Or of the Cowboys, with Jerry
Jones as the ringmaster of the circus. He has already
begun for twenty twenty six. You see that Micah Parsons,
say what?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
That Micah Parsons. Micah Parsons has worked his magic. He
has announced that the Cowboys aren't going to win the
Super Bowl. That's right, Parsons declaring that the team will
get it done. The most valuable team in all the sports,
(25:34):
the Dallas Cowboys, America's team. He may say, bold prediction,
he said, twenty twenty five going to be an amazing
thing to see next year when we are holding the trophy. Now,
a couple of thoughts. A. Obviously, you you say this, right,
you say, hey, we're gonna win the championship, because what
(25:55):
are you supposed to say?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
We're not.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We're not planning on winning the championship, all right, We're
gonna try to be mediocre. So you say that. You
got to believe that. But doesn't he say this every year? Now,
if you look at the calendar, the way this normally
works in it's coming up in late January, when free
agency really kind of gets going, well, not freezing, the coaching,
(26:18):
the coaching carousel, the draft, all that stuff. Late January February,
Jerry Jones comes out announced he's all in. Then in February,
the Cowboys will sign a free agent that has a
good name but no game washed up at this point
nice accolades on Pro Football Reference, So they'll do that.
(26:42):
Then around around March the Combines and the NFL Draft
in April, so then you'll get all the excitement. The
Cowboys have their eye on this game changing player. And
then from after the draft in May until June, the
(27:02):
Cowboys will be talked up. They'll be polished. The people
be slobbering all over them and pumping up the balloon
how great the Dallas Cowboys are going to be. Then
we get to July and training camp and August, and
Jerry Jones in early August will say, man, this team
(27:23):
is ready to go. Coach Blank is doing a great job,
Player Blank looks amazing. Going to be a special year
for these Dallas Cowboys. Then in September, the new NFL
season will begin. Optimism will be in the air everywhere.
The Cowboys will start out playing very good football. Everyone
(27:43):
will get all excited and they'll be the talk of
the NFL. And then in October, the Cowboys will continue
to play pretty good football, beating a bunch of tomato
cans playing the hostess schedule as they knock out a
bunch of crap bag teams. Then we get to November.
Cowboys play their first real opponent in the month of November,
(28:04):
and they get punched in the face and lose. Then
in December, Jerry Jones says that he's never felt more
confident that this is gonna be the year, that this
is a special Cowboy team. And then by the time
we get to the end of December, and if you're
in the playoffs, the Cowboys then need a lifeguard because
(28:28):
they are drowning. Rinse, wash, repeat. It is the circle
of life for the Dallas Cowboys, the never ending circle
of life for the Cowboys, and Micah Parsons has announced
that it's gonna end. The drought is going to end.
The Cowboys are going to win. Now, somebody in basketball
(28:53):
as we turn the page, somebody in basketball that gets
cowboy level hype for doing thing. Now, I know every
time I bring up the NBA, I have people. You
know that guy in Muskegan's gonna be all upset, right Dale,
He'll be, Oh, I'm trying to drop my snowplow and
I gotta hear you talk about basketball. But this is
a funny story. So Bronnie James sucks at basketball. He's
(29:19):
really good at the genetic lottery, getting that James nest egg.
He's twenty years old. He shouldn't be in the NBA,
should have a real job somewhere. So Bronnie James is terrible.
You know how many votes he got? How many votes
have been cast for Bronnie James to be on the
All Star team? How about eight thousand? Over eight thousand people. Now,
(29:45):
I know a lot of these are gag votes, but
Bronnie James this season, remember that that bull crap contrived
lebron Bronnie moment made for TV moment with the podcast
coach JJ Reddick. Is anybody in over their head than
JJ Reddick? But anyway, Bronnie James, if you're wondering how
he's doing, he's averaging zero point five points per game.
(30:08):
That is half of one point zero point one rebounds
and zero point four assists. His shooting percentage is one
to one point one from the field, and he has
played in the G League where he's not playing well either.
(30:30):
He's shooting thirty six percent in the G League, twenty
one percent from three point range, so he sucks there also.
But Bronnie James getting a bunch of votes, a bunch
of votes, and there's chatter that the NBA marketing people
are going to have him play. This is hilarious in
(30:52):
the Rising Stars game. Shouldn't that be the Falling Star
not the Rising Star All Star Weekend in the NBA.
My goodness, my goodness, Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (31:09):

so popular that Ball will now perform at Rolling Loud

you're in luck. Drake's clothing line recently announced a partnership
