Brady said to be fully committed to being a broadcaster.
What do your eyes and ears tell you about that?
And Bill Belichick's lady friend said to be overly committed
(01:02):
to North Carolina. Belichick's overly overtly committed in North Carolina?
How do you interpret the meaning of this? And Cliff
Kingsbury will not do any coaching interviews until after the
commander's playoff run ends. What is your position on that one?
We'll get to all of it and more right now here.
It is our number four. It's all about that Brady Bunch,
(01:27):
is what it's all about. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
We are in the air eywhere working together as we
are the only addiction that is good for you coast
to coast, border.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
To border and beyond on the mast and hilaziously powerful
microphones of FSR AMMA nating live from a stump as
in a stump speed each we're broadcasting live from the
tyraq dot com studios. Tyrack dot com will help you
get there at unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
(02:08):
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tyrac dot
com the way tire buying should be. I know Ozzie
Wise who listens in Western Australia. There's more kangaroos around
him than the human beings. He's a big supporter of
that number ten thousand. He's like ten thousand kilometers away
(02:31):
from the next human being there. He's got that Elon
Musk satellite setup. So our lead this hour is from
the broadcast booth. That's right, the broadcast both the future
of Tom Brady calling NFL games in the balance. It's
been up for debate, many pointing out the hypocrisy of
Tom Brady running an NFL team, the Raiders allegedly, and
(02:54):
also working as a broadcaster calling his NFL games. And
it's gonna come to a head this weekend. Is Tomm
Brady calling the I believe he's calling the Lions game
against Washington if I'm not mistaken, But either way, there's
people upset. People upset that Brady is meddling with these coaches,
(03:17):
and they're very worried about the integrity of the game.
A lot of people have snickered at Brady's future in sportscasting. Well,
we now have a response from a Tom Brady tow
liquor who has commented on Brady's future. If you didn't
see this, maybe not. A man that has made a
living writing the coattails of Tom Brady has chimed in
(03:39):
and if you believe this, Tom Brady plans to be
in the Fox box that rocks the broadcast booth for
the full duration of his ten year contract. That according
to his longtime agent, Don Yee. He told this to
a sports business publication. Outside from the time commitment, the
(04:01):
time commitment which is mostly just traveling on a private
plane to go to a game and then traveling home
on a private plane because you don't really have to
do much other work. Also, you got to futch around
with the Raiders both jobs. People have questioned the quality
of the work. They've questioned the conflict of interest, as
we mentioned, but the quality of the work. The NFL
has imposed all kinds of red tape, which they claim
(04:25):
Tom Brady has to follow these restrictions, rules and regulations,
all that stuff pure acuousy regardless. Again, Tom Brady has
no plans to leave after this season, if you believe
his agent, or any other season as long as he's
under contract. The agent Don Yee said, quote, Thomas had
a tremendous amount of fun working with Fox this year,
(04:48):
and he's really excited about the future with Fox and
his growth on their team, the agent stated, And this
year was the first year of a long relationship. Right close. Quote,
Let's parse the words. Let's discuss the question for the
esteemed panel, which you're part of. Tom Brady, according to
(05:09):
his agent fully committed to being a broadcaster of NFL games?
What are your eyes and ears tell you? What are
your eyes and ears tell you? On this? You watch
these games? I'll watch these games. So I've got jab
Pentagon and Jimmy Buffett, three things that have never been
tossed together into a bag. We're going to toss them
(05:30):
into a bag and see what pops out of the bag. First. Now,
to kick off, watching Tom Brady call games on TV,
he doesn't appear to know what he's doing. Am I
the only one that thinks that I gotta be careful
how I approach this? But it also doesn't seem like
(05:52):
he's fully into it. That's just one gas bag's opinion. Imagine,
if you will, though, going down to the butcher shop
and you're ordering some Kobe Wagu beef and you get
that Kobe Wagu beef at the store and you pay
for it, give him a credit card, and you get
(06:12):
it and then they wrap it up and they put
in the bag, and you get home and you take
it out of the bag. You unwrap the beef and
you're ready to cook the meal, and then you realize
that it was a bait and switch. You actually got
Salisbury's steak. That's what you got, little Salisbury steak. Tom Brady,
I keep hearing all the time, he was the goat.
He was the goat, right, greatest of all time, Tom Brady,
all this stuff as a player for the Patriots in
(06:34):
the bucks. As a broadcaster, he's a jab, just a broadcaster.
There's nothing magical about him. He's just another ex jock
that got a broadcasting job that just hurls the same
cliches that all the other ones do. He just has
a better resume, right, and again not stepping on toes,
because it's complicated. As I was told, the money that
(06:56):
Brady makes is not just to call the games, but
there's other business with sponsors and whatnot that he has
to do. So that's why that's why the deal is
where it's at. But Brady's on autopilot. I call it
like it is here, like he's it's like he's trying
to mimic what a sportscaster is supposed to sound like.
(07:18):
Even though he didn't really watch football for a long
time because he was playing football and he would go
to bed so early, it's not like he was standing
up watching the primetime games. It's a lot of wows
and oh no's and you know that's right, kb that
kind of thing, and so there's a lot of that
stuff that goes I understand. I mean, we all start,
(07:41):
we all suck when we start doing something, but we
normally don't get a three hundred and seventy five million
dollar contract when we suck. You have to earn it.
And Tom Brady's a football player is worth that kind
of money, but as a broadcaster, he's worth about three dollars.
That's just the reality of the situation. And we'll see
what happens here. I would suspect, if he's really that
(08:03):
involved with the Raiders that he's going to be the
de facto GM slash president of the Raiders, that he'll
step aside from the broadcast booth. But we'll see buy out.
I understand why if you're Tom Brady's agent and you've
made your living benefiting from the work of Tom Brady,
that you would not say, Hey, I'm I'm going to
get out of this steel it's just not working out.
(08:25):
Not a dime back. You're gonna go the old Yukon coach.
Not a dime back, all right. Furthermore, we head not
a chapel hill, one of Tom Brady's old buddies or enemies,
depending I look at it. He's living these days. We
have learned they head coach there named Bill Belichick. There's
a technicality for Bill Belichick. He's not under contract. Belichick
(08:46):
has yet to officially put his John Hancock or his
DOCU sign on a contract at North Carolina, which means
technically he is free to roam around and if an
NFL team calls him up today, hey, how would you
like to coach the Dallas Cowboys. He's a veil, so
this would create an issue. North Carolina has a ten
million dollar buyout. Now, North Carolina GM and Bill's buddy
(09:12):
Michael Lombardy to thank North Carolina for hiring Lombardi so
he no longer does podcasts anyway. Lombardi confirmed that Belichick
has not officially signed the contract yet. He claimed it's
just a it's just a paperwork issue. It's complicated, he said,
you know the state institution, you know a lot of
hurdles and all that. Now. Additionally, Belichick's lady friend is
(09:35):
a very young girlfriend. What's her name, Jordan Hudson. The
fact that I know her name, I'm pathetic, But she
wrote on the Graham that herself and Bill Belichick are
overly committed, overly committed to UNC. That's what she wrote.
So Bill Belichick again his girl keep part of that
(10:02):
girl said said to be overly committed, overtly committed, rather
overtly committed to North Carolina. How do you interpret this?
So this is what's known as an empty gesture. There's
a famous quote by someone I believe at the Pentagon
who said, there are there are no knowns. There are
things we know that we know, and there are known unknowns.
(10:25):
There are things that we know we don't know, but
there are also unknown unknowns, things that we do not
know that we don't know. So to rephrase that in
non pig Latin, there is a glitch in the matrix.
So Bill bodcheck there is a off ramp from the
(10:46):
expressway that he could exit in the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, it's a gray area, right,
So if Deon Sanders doesn't end up coaching the Cowboys
for whatever reason, who you're gonna what about Bill? What
about Bill? All right? Last thing? Quickly, quickly, the commander's
(11:10):
offensive coordinator, Cliff Kingsbury has decided to wait on any
head coaching interviews his name was bandied about not a
week ago. He says, I ain't doing any of that
mumbo jumbo until the playoff run ends. Says he wants
to fully focus on the Lions and if they win
(11:33):
the next round of the playoffs. So Cliff Kingsbury, former
failed coach of the Arizona Cardinals, will not do any
coaching interviews until after the commander's playoff run ends. What
is your position on this? So this one's not that
hard to decode. The way I interpret this is no
one's called Cliff Kingsbury for an interview that his phone
(11:56):
is on silent mode otherwise otherwise, of course he's going
to do an interview, as the late great Jimmy Buffett cruoned.
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me and that's the NFL.
They're not calling him. How hard is it to do
a zoom interview. It's not like you're going to fly
in there and have a steak dinner and spend two
(12:18):
nights in a hotel. You just do a forty five
minute and a half hour an hour zoom interview. It's
not that hard. These coaches make you believe they spend
nineteen hours a day working in video and coaching. They don't.
They spent a lot of time. But give me a
little vile in. This is not a sob store here
(12:39):
the world's smallest violin. I don't think anyone called him
otherwise he would have course done the interview anyway. It
is the Ben Mallor Show as we are continuing to
fight the good fight for truth justice in the sports
talk radio way every single night during the weekend, don't

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Bill Miller Here a programming note. Back in our one,
when you were sleeping, there was a verbal octagon between
Andy the comic book guy representing Bill's Mafia and Baltimore
Sportscasters Sports with Coleman, who had a viral moment this
week in preparation for the Bill's Ravens game when he
(14:40):
called Buffalo a city of losers and that incited the
Bill's Mafia. So we had an octagon that was back
in our one. You can hear that when the podcast
goes up. Lady, you can interact with a live show
right now and say hello on X at Ben Mahler.
That is at Ben Mahler the way to contact Ben

And also don't forget Lorraine, uh, the FSR tech queen.
It's an advantage, absolute advantage to check it out, all right,
it is the Ben Mallard Show. Bill, it's the Ben
Malors Show. And Ferg dog Rights and says Coop's a
(15:24):
Laker historian, right, why does he never mention the Laker
channel the hottest show, Uh, the hottest show on the
Lakers channel in the koops Scoop, why is that, Coop?
Why do you not? Why do you not mention the
hottest show on on the Lakers cable channel. It's a
bad job by you. You yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
On the Spectrums Fortnight who wrote that that's for dog? Oh,
I'm sure that that makes sense. Another idiotic comment from
Benny versus the penny. Ay, I do broadcasting for a dog,
not narrow casting.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
He's using my old I see what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Spectrum Sportsnet is a local channel, so that does not apply.
To everyone that listens to the Coop scoop on entertainment.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
People that have direct TV would have access to it
if they have a sports.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Baggage, not if they're not in La No.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
No. If you have a sports bag direct TV or whatever,
you can get it.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Oh the like the premium thing where you get off.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, yeah, mister nice guy, rights and says the Tom
Brady effect. He says, the NFL ratings being down nine percent.
Who else do we have? Page Dan Andreas is watching
Benny Versus The Penny Stellar Show, and she's going to
share some astrology stuff. Mark in Santa Monica rights and
says Tom Brady is not necessarily the goat. People claim
(16:42):
championships determine greatness. Clearly, Robert Or was better than Michael Jordan,
and of course Trent Dilfer and Jeff Hosteler were better
than Dan Marino and Dan Fouts. Yeah, Brady performed well
though in big moments, pretty well. Tim points out the
(17:02):
Chicago Cubs have unveiled the powder blue uniforms that they'll
be wearing in the upcoming baseball season, which the great
Tim mcdarby knows is a sign you're planning to suck.
When you are promoting the laundry and not the players
on your team, that is a sign your team blows.
That is what that means that that's a day give
(17:23):
what day give away. Let's go with the phones and
we'll say hello to Well, let's go to uh, let's
go to let's see here, let's go to Andrew. She
was just be not on a whole for a while.
Andrea is in Berkeley and she's going to examine the
life and times of Peter Alonzo. There was a falling
out Alonzo. It appears if you believe the latest reporting
(17:45):
done skis with the Mets. He'll be getting somewhere else. Yes, well,
if I was any better, I would be Alonso, but
not Peter Alonza. Actually I would be pe Alonzo because
he's still gonna get a lot of money.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
First thing, first, I'm enjoying many versus the Penny No. Yeah,
nice job and the Looney Bowl. You guys have some
pretty unique counter.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You did watch it? Yeah, Looney making it all about him.
Did you see the photo of Tom Looney that was
on the show. Did you see that? Yeah? I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well just watched and those that haven't seen the show.
Watch it'll be on all weekend here.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Yeah, yeah, I'm watching it again now to repeat it too.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, look at that it's on right now. Wait, I'm competing, yes,
myself right now.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
What am I doing? I'm on the road, my gosh.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
I love it. I'm talking to you on the phone
and I'm watching you.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
On your show.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
All right, little cosmic synchronicity.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And I just want to point out for our listeners
in Boston the show. There's a Celtic game tonight. They're
playing a little earlier, playing in Orlando, so that the
show's gonna be on after. But I think it's going
to air like three times in a row after the
Celtic game tonight.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, at two am. Then it airs again at.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Thirty am here, run over and over and over and over.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Yeah, we'll never get too much of Benny versus the Penny.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That's right exact. That's what I tell the boss is
over there. They don't listen to me. But anyway, all right,
so the pedalons, what they're looking like for Pedalan's right.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Well, you know, I'm a Mets fan, so I've been
watching sporting at New York a lot, and you know
they've been talking about it, and you know he's having
his SATA return. He's December seventh, nineteen ninety four. So
in a nutshell, when you have your satur return, it's
endings the new beginnings. It's a Karmax cycle of kind
of moving forward. I remember when Jason Johnby had his
(19:36):
satur return and he went from the as he bolted
to the Yankees. I mean, these things happen when you're
having your satur return and quite frankly sagittarius or restless
and easily bored. So after a while, they're very adventurous
and they're kind of looking for something else that's exciting.
But I'll tell you, I'll be sad to see him go.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
He actually, well you might.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You might be your neighbor in the Giants. Maybe I'll
sign with the Giants.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Well, you know, interesting because he talked about mercury coming
out of retrograde a couple of years back and that
how it helped him break out of his mid season slump.
So he's tuned into astrology. I posted the articles from
twenty twenty and I just always you know, I like
it when athletes kind of tune in to the planet,
(20:21):
and you know, he said a major league record fifty
three home runs as a rookie, and you know, he
did really well with the Mets. I just signed Jesse Winkler.
I mean, he's no Pe Alonso, but they just signed him.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
So you know, he had a couple of moments in
the playoffs so that people, the Mets fans seem to
like him.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Oh yeah, Jesse Winkler. Yeah, he's a Leo. He's pretty
creative and dramatic and he got into the oh my
god thing pretty well, so he got the Leo mane
of hair going. So you know, I can live with
him being on the Mets. But you know, Pete Alonso
will be missed if he doesn't return. I was home Jacobs,
de gram Era, Pete Alonzo. You know, it was pretty
(21:03):
magical times. But you know, thirty for an athlete, they
have to like make the best deal that they can
make it. I think the Mets offered him three years.
It's not like they weren't.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, he did, but the problem is they offered like
seven last year and he turned it down.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
So right, exactly right.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, So when you've bet on yourself and it doesn't
work out, he's still gonna be rich. He's never gonna
have to work again, his family will never have to
work again. So it's not really this is not a
SOB story. Oh yeah, not a SOB story.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, he declined a three year offer and the Mets
expect him to sign elsewhere and they've been getting turning
their attention to other pursuits quote unquote, So that's what
they're doing. And uh, you know, it'll Mars's retrograde. So
it'll be interesting to see with athletes signing. I mean,
the Giants has got Justin Verlander and they've rewarded him
(21:51):
based on past performance. I'm not real keen on his
future performance, but that's another time. We'll get into that.
And I got a podcast on We Got You.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
You slid your podcast note in there. I like that.
Look you're doing that. We're all doing podcasts. Everyone's a
podcast in that. We all got the podcast. All right,
all right, Andrew, than you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you,
thank you, thank you for watching the show, the TV show.
Also appreciate it and watch it all.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Week Oh my pleasure. And you take good care back, all.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Right, take care there, She goes that friend, Andreway nice,
very very nice. And we have the national championship game
not until Monday in college football, and I was checking
out the latest line over on DraftKings on the DraftKings sportsbook,
and Ohio State an eight and a half point favorite
(22:41):
over Notre Dame. The total on the game, the latest
numbers from DraftKings forty six and a half over under
forty six and a half and on the money line
Ohio State minus three sixty. Will the Golden Domers pull
the upset? I got a couple of emails from people
that were they were complaining. They said, you know, Ben,
(23:03):
I listened to the show every day and I'm getting
ready for work, and I like your show. But anytimes
there was a butt that all that before just goes
out the freaking window. Right, it's all alive. So they said,
but you said that Notre Dame was a favorite over
(23:24):
Ohio State the other day. You got it wrong. You
got it wrong, Ben. And my response to the people
that reached out to me is I did that intentionally.
I wanted to make sure you were paying attention. I
wanted to make sure you were hanging on And of
course I know what the lines are on DraftKings dot Com.
I just wanted to make sure that you were aware
of what I was saying. Sometimes people listen, I'll repeat things,
(23:47):
and people say, what do you repeat things?
Speaker 6 (23:48):
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, and I explained to people the way audio content
is consumed that most people don't sit there and stare
at their audio device and listen. So I'll sometimes repeat myself.
I never repeat an hour. Now, some of these radio
shows will do one hour and just repeat it over
and over the same content. I don't do that because
(24:12):
I get bored. But I'll repeat things while I'm yapping.
And the reason I do that is because I understand
how people consume the content, because that's how I listen.
I'll listen with kind of half an ear when I'm
listening to stuff. And if I'm doing it, I'm assuming
you're you're not sitting there with headphones on, even if
you have faed phones on. You're not hanging on my
every word. God bless you if you're the one person
(24:34):
that is like that. Anyway, Let's go to who do
we have her? Eeny meany miny Mo picked a caller
by their name let's say hello to who do we have?
Let's go to D C Slim. Who's next? Hello? DC Slim?
Speaker 9 (24:50):
Mall what do do? Helmy out?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
How Slim?
Speaker 9 (24:55):
I'm good? Check it out?
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Man.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Let's let's drop the bomb on the world. Tom Brady
is the most rated person on the planet. Okay, the
fascination for mister Tom Brady has he got to stop.
He's a terrible analyst. He's also not a goat, not
even in a conversation for a goat. He is the
fifth best person on the Patriots six Super Bowls. In
(25:21):
this order, it'll be Belichick, defense, Vinitary, I'll say the GM,
and then Bray average quarterback at best.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Better look at you, DC Slim, you're unloading, man, you're
looking now. Technically you could say that Brady is a
goat because when I was a little kid, I would
go to the zoo and goats always smelled nasty and
had flies around them. When I was a kid, and
I'd go see the goats at the zoo. Now, who
do you think is a good broadcaster?
Speaker 6 (25:51):
DC?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Slim? If you don't like Brady, who do you think
is good?
Speaker 9 (25:55):
I don't think football players are good broadcasters.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
I think broadcasters are broadcasters. Football players made to crash
into each other, so when you get him on the television,
they don't realize that they might be saying a couple
of stupid things. So when I'm watching Brady, he's clueless. Now,
some of them are good, but I think Brady is
(26:21):
just there because he's Brady. You know the chicken Yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, I mean that's obviously the vibe that you get
with Brady that he just doesn't really deserve to be there,
but he's Tom Brady and people like him, and so
he's there and all that. But John Madden was an
ex coach and he became to me the greatest football analyst.
The problem is, and like Charles Barkley is a former player,
he's a great analyst, but he's he doesn't take himself seriously.
A lot of these guys, as my position on this,
(26:46):
slim tim or slim DC slim rather excuse me, is
that these guys they don't want to offend the fraternity
of players, right, so they don't want to to really unload.
To be a good sportscast, you got to be critical,
and these guys don't. They want to go that are well.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
That's what made Barkley and Madden and people like them
good because they literally bring their sport attitude to the move.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, no, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 9 (27:14):
Brady Brady was boring on the field. Oh guy, he's
an average guy. He only throw taking Dutch to get
the Vinetarian despot to win the game. So you know,
greatest quarterback dam Marino, Joe Montana, and we can start
there and then we can go down the line.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
All right, anybody appreciate it. There's the great DC slim

have Brady on this morning show, right and neither one
(27:51):

when he's playing, right, And so Brady would come on
every I think it was Monday morning, and he never
wanted to answer anything like no, he would. They'd ask
him quite, do you just get boring vanilla answers to everything?
And I remember he did an interview Brady a couple
(28:11):
years back. I think it was like on a lebron show,
like the Shop. Does he still do that? I don't know,
I never watched it, but Brady said, like his whole
point is to like light of the media, his whole

in Ohio, Mitchell quickly, I gotta get the coops school, Mitchell.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
It was a bit I just wanted to comment on
the You hear a lot of people say that Dion's
not a good coach or wouldn't be a good coach.
I mean, I don't know so much about the scheme
and them stuff, but they'd have people helping him with that,
I guess, like a staff and stuff. The other big
job of a coach to me is a motivator. And
I mean, do they don't know who Deon Sanders is.
He's like one of the greatest motivators over time. I
(31:12):
mean from like a prime time hi stepping down into
the end zone. I mean, is like will be a
great coach. In my opinion, he is definitely a good motivator.
So why people don't think he would be a good
coach just beyond me. But I don't know. I'd kind
of rather see Belichick get the trouble with John myself
either one, but I'd approve either.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I'd approve either one. I would approve either one. I'd
be fine with either one. I fully support you the one,
but thank you Mitchell. Marcel. Can you introduce Cooper Loop
