the door on contract talks with the Brownies. How will
Cleveland Brass handle this?

The number one overall pick in.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
The twenty twenty five NFL Draft And the Atlanta Falcons
are said to have sent only defensive coaches to the
Combine and are interviewing only defensive players this weekend.

to you on the fifth hour.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Here it is.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Ready to leave Browntown, ready to say bye bye to Browntown.
Welcome in the beginning another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
We are in the.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
A everywhere, serving up hot air from the doghouse.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
As we are hanging out with the coast to coast,
border to border and beyond, all on the mast and.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Humongously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
From the clock as this show runs like clockwork.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyract

(02:37):
ten thousand tyraqt dot com The Way Tire Buying.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Show'd be so our lead.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
This hour is from the factory of sadness and a
story that has been bubbling up over the last month
or so.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
A sign of the times, if you will here after.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Many weeks of speculation out in the wild blue Yonder.
The Cleveland Browns have taken another low blow from their
franchise Pillar trying to keep him in town. If you
have not heard by now, possibly not defensive stalwart Miles
Garrett has confirmed no bueno. He is not not not

(03:21):
open to a contract extension with the Browns. Garrett has reportedly.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Slammed the door. That's not very nice. You should close
the door politely, but.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
He's he's done and does not want an extension to
remain with Cleveland. Now the four time All Pro, not
Pro Bowl or All Pro that matters. Pro Bowl doesn't matter,
Pro Bowl's patty cake. All Pro means something, and so
this catch requested to Tree. I remember we talked about
that a few months actually a month ago or so,

(03:53):
and trying to land with a contender, a legitimate contender,
something Cleveland has never been since Jim Brown played there.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
And so far the Browns are playing hardball.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
It had been unwilling to say bye bye to their player,
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel.
Miles Garrett turning down what was said to be a
quote hefty extension, hefty like the trash bag hefty, and
has slammed the door on talks.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
With the Brownies. So how will Cleveland brass handle this? Now?
How are they going to handle this? Now? So I
have pep.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Boys, We've got that, We've got also buffet and if
that was not enough, one track mind, we'll combine all
of these things together and we will skied daddle is
what we're going to do. Okay, we're gonna make the
Baba gonosh all right. So a, the Brownies front office

(04:59):
needs us space. This is their game changer, This is
their dominating player, the only player worth their salt in Cleveland.
And so give somebody in the Browns front office a blanket.
Give somebody else there a glass of milk, a warm
glass of milk. Now, normally, when you throw money at
a problem in sports, it's a work around. You can

(05:22):
fix stuff temporarily by doing that. And I still believe
there is a pat. If the Cleveland Browns are willing
to make Miles Garrett the Deshaun Watson of defensive players,
meaning fully guaranteed money, fully guaranteed money for four or
five years, he'd hop back on the bandwagon and be
whispering sweet nothings and give you puppy dog eyes and

(05:44):
all that, but aside from that, it's not happy. And
so what you have now is the cat and mouse game,
which is underweight, and I'm I'm all about it now.
I don't know about you. Maybe you're not all about it,
but I'm all about it. You know, we've seen this
pretty much every year a headline player lo and behold
tries to do this. But so the cat and mouth

(06:06):
mouse game works like this. So Miles Garrett is following
the best seller If you will, It's NFL Trade Demands
for Idiots. How do ratchet up tensions? Is chapter two?
Chapter one is demand to trade? Chapter two is ratchet
up tensions. And you do that by making a big stink.

(06:29):
And he's going to pet boys and he knows that
when you go to the mechanic, the squeaky wheel gets
the grease. And so in this case, the grumbling, grumbling
and stumbling NFL star, if he makes a big enough
you know what, the Browns will agree in principle to
send him into the portal and they can create if

(06:53):
they're smart about this, a bidding word, not that it matters.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
They'll f up the draft picks anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
But in theory, you have the lie in the Bills,
the Rams that can make offers, and since Cleveland is
an absolute lightweight or a fraud in terms of contention.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
So if you're the Browns, like you don't care whether.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
You trade Miles Garrett to the Ravens or the Steelers
or the Bengals.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Who cares.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
If they're gonna give you more than the other teams,
then you do it. And you figure that by the
time you're good, Miles Garrett'll be old, and so who cares?
And yabadabadoo, all right now, pitch you. So NFL smut
provider Mike Florio, he works over at that gossip site,
Pro Football Talk. He spread a rumor that the Cowboys

(07:43):
have talked to the Tennessee Titans about moving up to
the number overall pick in the twenty twenty five draft.
You might know that Tennessee is on the clock. So
how credible is the story about the Cowboys having talks

(08:03):
with the Titans about trading up for the number one
number in the twenty twenty five drafts?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
So this is a feast.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
It is chowing down on a buffet that is filled
with the Babylon bee and side of the onion.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
With Sports Talk, Barry serving it up.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Absolute absolutely, it's credible to drive traffic for Mike Florida.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Now Florio he had the.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Hootspa of saying that I don't even like spreading things
like this. You know, he was like he felt guilty
saying it, even though he's the only one that's gonna
benefit from this. Even by Jerry Jones standards, it is
a non starter. And here's why. There are years you
try to trade up for the top pick of the draft.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
This is not one of those years.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
It's not it's lacking the wow factor at the top.
There are times where you would do everything. You trade
Micah Parsons, you trade Dak Prescott to get the top
pick in the draft, but.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
There is no consensus. Number One.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
We are heading in This is the last day of
February today, we're heading into March. The NFL drafts at
the end of April, and nobody knows. Nobody knows who's
going to be picked at the very top. Why is
that you got a lot of betas. You don't have
an alpha. There's no clear alpha. If you had an alpha,
you'd know who's going to be picked the top. Now

(09:31):
among the players I've been studying up because I'm a loser.
But the two players that stand out head and shoulders
above everyone else for my money, dollar for dollar are
Abdul Carter Penn State, who's got some kind of injury
situation going on. But Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter, Like,
to me, that's it.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
It's a fifty to fifty proposition.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
However, the problem is you got quarterbacks, and Tennessee needs
a quarterback, and so will they go out and get
a quarterback? And neither one of these quarterbacks at the
very top look all that great. Neither one's mind boggling.
So what do you do, right, what are you gonna do?
And and so that's why you don't trade up, and

(10:15):
it's it's it's pretty much one of these deals where
it's like, none of these players is the stone cold
lock of the century to be picked.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
At the top. Now that's it.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
The story about the Cowboys dealing for that top, big
elite level clickbait click at a click, made your luck
all right?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Last word?

Speaker 3 (10:38):
So the Falcons sent only defensive coaches, only defensive coaches
to the combine and are interviewing only defensive players.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
So so how do you unpack that story?

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Which has been making the rest. Combine goes on till
till Monday. The big story at the combine is Matthew
Stafford is expected to either agree to stay with the
Rams or be traded by the end of the weekend.
But the Falcon story is interesting if true, sending only
defensive coaches to the combine and only interviewing defensive players.

(11:16):
So how do you unpack that? So that is the
epitome of a one track mind. I would also use
the word whack a doodle. I think that's appropriate. Whack
a doodle is the appropriate word. Clearly, Atlanta needs help
on that side of the ball. I think every man, woman,
and child knows that, even if your experience with football

(11:37):
is merely playing a video game. Nevertheless, this is short sighted. Obviously,
you don't ignore one side of the ball. You don't
do that if they only picked defensive. But he kind
of reminds me years ago, there was this guy named
Mike Ditka and the Saints. He was coaching the Saints,
not the Bears. The Saints and Mike Ditka needed a

(11:58):
running back. So Mike, I'm not biking this up. By
the way, this about a generation ago. Mike Ditka traded
the entire draft, all of the New Orleans picks because
he wanted a running back.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
He cornered Ricky Williams, who.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Was the Star Heisman winner from Texas, and that's the
guy he wanted, and so the Saints got him. They
traded their entire draft to get him. And then Ricky
Williams was a mid running back. But here's the thing,
like some people are saying, it's gamesmanship and it's a
smoke screen, and time will tell I have little confidence

(12:35):
in Arthur Blank who's one of the worst owners in
the history of the NFL.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
And Raheem Morris. You could have hired Belichick, you hired
Raheem Morris.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I mean, what are you doing right there in the
Falcon facility When you go in there, You're in the
idiot box. You're in the idiot box there when you're
in the Falcon facility. And the Falcons still have to
figure out what they're going to do with the quarterback Cousins.
Who is gonna be what a thirty million dollar backup
quarterback or are they going to officially decommission him as

(13:07):
he floundered around at the end of last year. They
thought they were getting a top flight quarterback. Didn't quite
work out that way. He was in the eye of
the storm. The eye of the storm for sure last year.
It is the Ben Mallor Show. As we are warming
up this hour, and if you would like to be pard,

(13:29):

This is our final show. Very emotional as we chew
the cheese with I know it's devastating.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
It'll be okay, though, Everything will be okay. I know.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
February so isn't like the first of March is when
everyone I can't believe it's March. I can't believe it's
already a third month of the year. Everyone will be
saying the same thing on Saturday. I can't believe it.

that what you're saying? Over well, that's rare on this show.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Usually if you if you call the show and fall asleep,

I remember you back in the old days, the early
days of Fox Sports Radio, when we were on in Binghamton,
New York and Pittsburgh and that was it.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Now somehow this place is.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Blown up and it's on everywhere, but we remember those
early days fondly. You fondly remember those early days. Let's say, hello,

He will now do for the morning show that's coming out.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
Everybody shut up, Everybody shut up. We're talking about the
Benny Awards too much. I support Ben and everything he does,
but it's getting a little out of him. It's the
worst show of the year. We're just trying to thank
you fools for sending in stupid stuff that nobody cares about.
You guys are a bunch of losers that can't get jobs.
You know what I'm saying, ask me no stuff. For
the past ten years, I almost left the show because

(24:26):
of these fan dudes. You know what I mean. I'm
the greatest star on the epin show.

Speaker 6 (24:30):
Student.

Speaker 9 (24:30):
Now, let's look this up. It's called the West Newton Cinema.
It's in West Newton, Massachusetts, next to the Carol School
for the Blind. It's an older cinema.

Speaker 8 (24:38):
You know.

Speaker 9 (24:39):
Fred Tutcher lives right next door to it. Actually, it's
an you can contribute to it. It's an older coop,

Speaker 10 (27:22):
Oh, you better vote for me for some food picks,
some TV picks. And also, are you smarter than the

Speaker 5 (27:37):
You're gonna rub that in my face every week?

Speaker 10 (27:41):
Oh you better say that.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Have you told everyone in the family, Marcel that you won?
You were the smarter You're smarter than Lorena?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yes, it is okay. I tossed the coop.

Speaker 10 (27:53):
Yeahs oh, there was a tribute going on for the
amazing award winning legendary Oscar winner. So Justin Cooper has
all the details right now, All right, for Hollywood, it's
the entertainment. But just starts right now, Johnathan.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yes, Marcel, it's not good for jean.

Speaker 10 (28:17):
Our hearts are being broken for this entertainment industry.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
So that's rights all about it. Rest in peace, Gene Hackman. Uh,
I'm actually glad Marcel brought that up though. Have you
seen the latest on this.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Bench, Yes, some funny businesses going on.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Do you think that she died and then he just
maybe he was out of it and he just didn't
do anything, and then he then he eventually.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Well the most like, uh, non crazy conspiracy theory thing
that I can think of is maybe it was.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Like there was one of those mummified or something like that.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Yeah, yeah, right, I mean, I'm sorry, Yes, that's what
I'm showing, ancient Egypt or something like that. Yes, yeah, bummy,
I don't know him what like, I'm my, my, here's
my theory.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
My theory is that she had a medical situation, maybe
she took the wrong medicine or something like that. She
passed away tragically. Jean's ninety five doesn't leave the house.
He's a hermit and he just he's like his mind
was a little foggy or whatever, and then he stopped
taking care of himself and he didn't he didn't know
what to do, and then he ended.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Up eventually, so he just had the dead body in
the house. Well, my thought, my thought is that Gene
Hackman went naturally he's ninety five.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Oh and then she.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
Yeah, oh okay, and then and then and then the
dog maybe just because like you know, dehydration or something,
because it was just so long.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Okay, Yeah, any theory you want to share, Loraino on
to go read.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
All these little details. Now I feel like I'm too
out of the loop. I just thought it was a
nice little murder suicide. Well anyway, not a murder, no,
but yeah, moving on to what you can watch this
weekend to you know, take you away from reality. We
have a new movie coming out. It's called Last Breath
and this one has pretty good reviews. It stars Woody

(30:07):
Harrelson and it is a heart pounding film that follows
a deep sea divers as they battle the raging elements
to rescue their crewmate trapped in hundreds of feet below
the ocean surface. It's based on a true story and
that is in theaters right now this weekend. Go check
it out. There's another movie. I'm not gonna get too

(30:27):
much into the plot, but it's getting rave reviews. It's
called My Dead Friend Zoe, and it's a dark comedy
drama drama dye if you will. And this one's got
ed Harrison Morgan Freeman in it, and so it's kind
of a buddy film about a complicated friendship and divided family.
And that's about as much as I'll say on the plot.

(30:51):
Moving over to television this weekend, it's all about the
ninety seventh Annual Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O'Brien.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
No, it's all about the Bennys, is what it's all about,
which is the biggest event in Hollywood, and.
