This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It is a standoff roger that welcome in the beginning
of yet another night of the Ben Mahler Show. We
are in the air everywhere, chilling in the audio world.
Get it with justin chair, the only show in town
(00:54):
coast coast, border to order and beyond on the mast
eh own right. Powerful microphones of fs are ammundating live
from the depot, the smoke Depot. These takes burning up
the powerful transmitters of Fox Sports Radio as we were
(01:16):
hanging out with you and we're broadcasting live from the
ti Raq dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. I
know mikey Cano don't you know impressed by that tire
(01:36):
rac dot com the way tire buying showb So it's
kind of like a soap opera. This time of the year,
I think you'd agree right and pay attention to this crap.
And this time it's all about the NFL, the new
league year, players getting paid massive amounts of money, other
players getting fired from their jobs. And there's this great
(01:58):
juxtaposition in the NFL where a lot of people we're
getting paid by other people are not getting paid. But
our lead is from mister Rogers neighborhood. We're going to
take the trolley into mister Rogers neighborhood. There. Now, when
we left the studio during our previous episode of the show,
when we walked out of the studio, we were relatively confident.
By the time the afternoon came around, Aaron Rogers has
(02:23):
was going to get a deal.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He was going to have a deal done.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
But between the time that we turned off the microphones
and walked out of the building into the parking lot,
got in the cards, drove to the north Woods, went
to bed, woke up. By the time we woke up,
deal would have been done and everything, said Steelers Steelers Steelers. Well, wait,
the plot thickens if you've not heard the latest Bumpkus
(02:47):
radio silence, which you're not supposed to have when you're
doing talk radio radio silence. So Aaron Rodgers said to
be still this late hour, waist deep in deliberation and
the negotiation with the Pittsburgh football team as he decides
his next chess move in free agency. And so much
for the reporting that he was not going to play.
(03:09):
Not only is Rogers planning on playing, he's got multiple
teams that are trying to get his rotting carcass on
their roster. Considering how bad Rogers was with the Jets,
it's fascinating that there are multiple teams that are trying
to get Aaron Rodgers in the uniform. So, based on
the conflicting reports in the overnight here, Rogers is said
(03:32):
to be an impass with the Insurs. The other team
involved the Giants. There's also some chatter that don't discount
the Minnesota Vikings. So what exactly let's focus in on
the black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow,
So what exactly is the hang up in the berg?
(03:52):
So as we discussed this, the question why cut to
the Chase. Why have Aaron Rodgers camp and these Steelers
been unable to find common ground? So I've got promo
Code Pigeon and Uncle Sam, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(04:14):
delicious Saint Patti's Day's cookies. Now I've not had one
of those Saint Patti Day's cookie but there's a big
box in the other room. More on that later. And
if that doesn't work, we'll put those together and make
some parogies. You know, because you think Pittsburgh, you think
parogis why not?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So a the working theory is that the Yinser's front
office has sticker shock.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
They have they have sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I know most people do shopping online these days, but
sometimes you'll go to the store old school we called
old school. And in the old world you used to
have ghost place called like malls and whatnot, and you'd
have to find stuff in the store and you couldn't
really price around. So the Steelers, it's a case of
the best lay plans of mice men and NFL executives
(05:04):
often go a right. So everyone assumed. Now you know
what happened when you assume everyone assumed The position that
Aaron Rodgers was willing to play for peanuts with the Rams. Right,
the Rams, The story was a couple of weeks ago
that Matthew Stafford was going to go play for the
Giants or the Raiders, and then the Rams were gonna
(05:25):
sign Aaron Rodgers and he was gonna give the Rams
a sweetheart deal because he wanted to play with Sean
McVay and Puka Nakua and that was the way it went. Well,
we know Stafford did the old head fake and said, psych,
I'm gonna actually stay with the Rams, and he took
a contract that was a little less than he could
have gotten elsewhere, So we know that to be true.
(05:46):
So Mike Tomlin and really just the Steeler front office
not know how much Mike Tomlin's involved in this. It's
the Steeler front office here, the Rooney family and whatnot.
They're trying to find the promo code. They want the
promo code the Rams are gonna used. They had a
promo code. The Ram's gonna use that promo code. And
at this point these Steelers are like, Hey, didn't you
(06:07):
used to sell insurance? Can we get that discount? Double check?
Can we get that we'd like to discount double check. Now,
it sounds like Rogers is being pig headed, which is fine.
I mean, if you've got multiple teams and you know
your value, I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He can say he's a douche and all that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But the Rodgers is in a position of strength here,
and he wants to get the market rate. That's the
hypothesis going around right now. And there's no coupon because
you're in western Pennsylvania and you've got the cool logo
on one side of the helmet and all that. And
so Rogers, if we're reading the room properly, believes he's
(06:48):
got all of these teams by the foot.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Balls, if you will.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Here, and he's the last veteran quarterback who doesn't one
hundred percent blow. Okay, there's other veteran quarterbacks, but they
all have codies. Now, Rogers, you could argue, has a
lot of stank from being in the cockpit with the Jets. However,
it does not appear to be affecting his value at
(07:13):
this particular point. And his advanced age in the athletic
kingdom all right now, page two, So you've got the
yin and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
The Yang, the Yin and the Yang.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So the Yin and the Yang. You got Aaron Rodgers
and what's going on between the Steelers and the Giants
are lurking in the in the weeds if Rogers wants
to stay in New Jersey and play more bad football
and totally destroy both New York teams or New Jersey teams.
So the other part of this is how do you
categorize the latest developments as they relate to Russell Wilson,
(07:46):
the former, you could argue, incumbent Steelers quarterback who is
out there in free agency right now. So how does
his situation change based on everything that's going on.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So think of.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Mister unlimited Russell Wilson like a pigeon, and I just
bear with me on this. He's an old fashioned stool pigeon.
At this particular point, he's playing the waiting game. He
has no other options. Russell Wilson's got no other options.
He's not gonna sign first, He's going to sign last.
(08:21):
And he is in this little exercise. He's a decoy.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
At least the.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Steelers are trying to sell Rogers and his reps that
they could always pivot back to Russell Wilson. They in fact,
we know that to be true because the Steelers leak
to their useful idiots otherwise known as beat writers the story,
and that's the story they wanted to get out, that
Russell Wilson could go back and all that. So Russ
(08:49):
is in afterthought as he should be, as he should
be the way he played in an absolute embarrassment down
the stretch.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
For the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So in this exercise, Russ will be the last one picked,
the last ones.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I know about that. When I was in elementary school,
I was like the last.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
One picked, and I know what it's like to be
overlooked and all that.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I've been there.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I do the Overnight show and yeah, so that's where
we are now, all right, last word? We go quickly
to Tampa, the Tampa Saint Pete Airy, where the Buccaneer
pirate ship locked in. This week, their wide receiver, Chris Godwin,
(09:31):
a godlike figure. He was a free agent, and the
story from the last couple of days was Chris Godwin
had plenty of opportunities to leave the state of Florida
and go somewhere else and get the riches of Solomon.
He decided he did not want the riches of Solomon. Oh,
it's hard to say that he got a raw deal,
as Godwin got a three year contract for sixty six million,
(09:53):
but forty four million of that Chris Godwin deal is Gara,
so that's how much he actually got. But he believes
that others would not have settled for that. In fact,
that Godwin, speaking to the microphones and cameras in Tampa,
said it boiled down to family and just staying true
(10:16):
to who I am was the quote. He then said
that nine out of ten people in his position would
not have necessarily made this decision, meaning that he's somehow
in the top percentile of morally correct people because he
took less money even though he got forty four million guaranteed.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Should we have a bake sale for Chris Godwin? All right?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So yeah, the chatter is Godwin could have made an
extra twenty million dollars. Now, the speculation is that the
new England football team, the Patsy's, offered Chris Godwin. I
think they're called the Patriots, but the way they played
recently the back to me and the patsis. So the
chatter is the Patriots are the ones that offer for
(11:00):
Chris Godwin that money, money, money.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
So what do you make of the story?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now? Including some quotes from Chris Godwin saying that he
essentially left.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
He confirmed the story that he left.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
In the neighborhood of twenty million dollars from New England
on the table to stay in Tampa. All right, So
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I'm skeptical
that this is true. And it seems like there's a
lot of semantics involved in this, and so my BS
(11:33):
detective started going.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Just like that when I saw it.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Methinks the football player is a little too braggadocious.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Methinks, Yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You'd be the biggest dingleberry in the world to reject
an extra twenty million dollars. All things being the same,
You're doing the same sport and all that stuff. And
it's not like Baker Mayfield is the second coming. He's fine.
He's an average NFL quarterback. He's not that great, but
he's not terrible. He's just kind of there, all right.
(12:06):
So it's not like you're playing with Mahomes or regular
season Lamar Jackson or somebody like that. You're playing with
Baker Mayfield. He's fine, but you're gonna leave twenty million
on the table here. You're affecting future generations of the family.
So what's going on here? Do I think he's being
completely transparent? No?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I do. I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It's more likely than not, based on my read of
the situation, that there is a concophony of fine print
involved in this, meaning Uncle Sam or a go. Let's
say it's Florida versus, as Bill Belichick called it, Taxachusetts
in that tax situation, the state income tax in Florida
(12:51):
is I think we can all agree a really good
state income tax zero percent. It's really good. Really, that's
what you want, right, you want zero percent? That's that's
what they've got. Zero percent Massachusetts or Taxachusetts is Bill
Belichick called it famously, the income tax plus the jock
tax is nine percent. So right off the top, that's
(13:12):
nine percent. Now, if you do some mal or math
and you futs around with the numbers, Let's say that
Godwin had an offer of around eighty million dollars in
that neighborhood from the Patriots and sixty six million from Tampa,
And you can futs around with the numbers, put your
(13:32):
taxation in there, and all that, and also you don't
know how much of the money from the Patriots was guaranteed.
Is it funny money? Is it fake money? There's a
lot of filler. It's like hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
They put a lot of filler in there with these contracts.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
So godwin, he has to come back from that devastating
ankle injury. So who knows he's damaged goods until proven otherwise.
And that ended his twenty twenty four season. The bit short.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So I lead this hour from one of the more
bizarre stories of the week in the sporting world that
we dabble in, and it's the quarterback market. But so
I'm not gonna do another male monologue about Aaron Rogers
and Russell Wilson. And we've talked about that in a
previous hour. If you missed it, podcast will be up
when we get done. You can replay that over and
(14:29):
over and over again. But you can scratch another name
off the big board. Another name off the big board,
not a list. Terry in England Big Board big board.
So if you didn't hear, now maybe not. We learned
that Daniel Jones has a new home. The hustle continues
for Daniel Jones, proving that you can be bad at
(14:53):
your job and still find employment. Daniel Jones and the
Indianapolis Colts have agreed the terms a one year deal
for fourteen million dead presidents.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Now what does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So it sets up this is gonna blow you away.
I hope you're not doing anything that could get you
in trouble, because when I'm about to say, if you
didn't hear about this, this is nuts. This is next level.
The Indianapolis Colts have set up a training camp quarterback
battle between Danny Dimes and Anthony Richardson for the starting
(15:33):
job of the Colts. Hand to God, no lies, Hand
to God, no lies. So let us discuss the question
for the Esteemed panel, how would you describe the Colts
quarterback room with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. So I've
got spirit Animal, Twilight Zone, and Star Treatment, and we
(16:00):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make some cheesies.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I haven't had them yet.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
They look good though, the cheesy Canadian treat cheesy, they're crunchy.
Have you had some yet? You have not. Lorain has
not had them yet either, but we'll have them all right.
So again the question, what do you or how would you?
How would you describe? How would you describe the quarterback
room in Indianapolis with Daniel Jones on one side and
(16:29):
Anthony Richardson on the other. So my first thought was satire.
Now I had heard rumors that Daniel Jones was conceivably
going to go to the Colts. But when it actually happened,
and I was a little groggy, I was a little
hazy do the overnight show here?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
So I sleep during the day and I wake up
and I'm like, what did I miss?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
What happened in the world when I was I was
checked out, when I practiced death for the day and
I was gone for the day.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So I wake up and I look and I saw, oh,
Daniel Jones agreed to a deal with the Colts. And
then I saw the comments that he's going to be
in a positional battle for the starting job, and I thought, well,
it's got to be satire, And then it wasn't. Butt
crack sports or any of the other satire side sports
talk Barry, No, it wasn't Sentel, which is an NBA thing.
(17:14):
So like it's almost like the GM there, Chris Ballard
was attempting here to sign a guy that will get
him fired. Although Jim rs is the one who's running
the show as the owner, right, But Chris Ballard the GM.
This is an act of sabotage, is what it is.
Is he trying to get himself fired. Like if you
(17:34):
were to put together on a diagram the worst possible
quarterback depth chart you could put in the year circa
twenty twenty five, They've just done it. Ballard has built
the gem of the Colts, has built a bridge. It
is a bridge to nowhere.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Literally nowhere.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's gotta be in modern football. The worst quarterback room
in NFL history has there ever been going into an
offseason then the following year, this is these are the
people you want. Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. You gotta
be joking, right, and holy Conoley, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You have further contaminated your rosters, like giving the entire
team the neurovirus, right, I mean, what are you doing?
Highly contagious and the spirit animal. I'm convinced now with
Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson side by side, you've got
dumb and dumber, But the spirit animal is pepe lepew pe.
(18:35):
You what stinks right, It's a skunk. It's a skunk situation.
Anthony Richardson, Just for context to back up my point. Now,
I knew when I watched the Colts, and I'm you know,
did the TV show, so I was trying to watch
every game as possible and watching Indianapolis play. Anthony Richardson
normally would have two or three incompletions, then complete like
(18:57):
a forty yard pass, and then three or four incompletions.
Then eventually the Colts get the ball back and he
completed a thirty or forty yard pass.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
But he was the.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Thirty ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL. How many quarterbacks
were ranked in the final NFL rankings? Ding Ding Ding,
ding Ding thirty nine. Now, Daniel Jones, where did he rank?
How about number thirty six? So you have the thirty
sixth and thirty ninth quarterback and you're ready to hit
the ground running or in this case, hit the ground
(19:26):
and go right into a ditch. The only quarterbacks that
were worse than Daniel Jones and slightly ahead of Anthony
Richardson were Deshaun Watson, the creepy quarterback of the Browns
who's now done playing in the NFL for all intentsive purposes.
And Spencer Rattler. And Spencer Ratler we know he sticks.
(19:49):
So watching these guys play for the Colt, I mean
image measure being a Colt season ticket, older holy man,
So watching them will cause dizzyness, lightheadedness and nausera watching
them play now page two. There was somebost I got
a kick out of this too. I know, I'm on
my soat box, just bear with me. So I got
a kick out of the story. There were some people
(20:10):
in the media saying that Anthony Richardson should ask for
a trade, he should demand a trade, that this is
an act of disrespect by Chris Ballard and the Colts
to bring in Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Is that how you see it? All right?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So another part of the story was I laughed at
I absolutely laughed. I said, who on godscreen Earth thinks
that Anthony Richardson is in any kind of position? Are
we in the twilight zone? Seriously, we must be in
the twilight zone and picture if you will, a world
where the worst quarterback by any measurement in the NFL,
(20:47):
Anthony Richardson, has any kind of leverage to ask for
a trade. Now, if anything, this is embarrassing that the Colts.
It's not a real quarterback back. If you can't beat
Danny Dimes out for for the QB one job in Indianapolis,
then you should. You should be driving in a way moo,
in the back of a way mo because you know
(21:08):
the way my self driving car. But it's crazy in
the dimension I'm in, you have no leverage. He's lucky
he's not given a pink slip Richardson. The way he's
performed here, in fact, in several states, what he has
done is he's guilty of grand larceny.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Is what he's guilty of.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And I go back to all of the numbers, the
eyeball test, by any of that and all of it,
he is a Schmendrick at the quarterback position. Well, he
runs really well. Shot hop you moser, what's wrong with you?
Anthony Richardson. His completion percentage was below fifty percent. That's
(21:45):
in a dumb down here, in the NFL with a
lot of short passing mixed in and all that he
completed forty seven point seven percent of his passes. You're
not even you can't even play for the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers with that kind of number. And he ranked in
the very last percentile in just about every category for
a quarterback in the NFL. And there had not been
(22:06):
a quarterback this bat since Tim Tebow. And if you
go across the board, you got to go back to
like the nineteen eighties when baseball was the most popular
sport in America anyway, not the NFL in the early eighties.
And he also tapped out of a game because he
was tired Anthony Richardson last year, and people said, wow,
(22:28):
he should demand a trade. And I believe he's missed
seventeen games an entire season through his first two years
because of injury. But other than that, everything's going great,
Everything's going wonderful. All right, Now, final point, we head
away from Indianapolis. I think I've beaten that into the ground.
And so now we move to the wide receiver portion
(22:49):
of the broadcast. Please fast forward a quarteringly, so wide
receiver DeAndre Hopkins, good name DeAndre Hopkins has agreed to
leave Cans. He was a free agent after the Super
Bowl and DeAndre Hopkins taking his talents to the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah,
does that make you tingle? Does that get you excited?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah? Hopkins will get a one year deal with payhim
five million.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So he leaves behind Mahomes and Kelsey and Andy Reid
for Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry and Harball. And that's what
he's got there in the charm City, a lot of
great seafood in Baltimore. He can hang out with sports
with Coleman. So what does the Andre Hopkins have left
in the tank for the Ravens?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
That is the question on this one.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I would put Hopkins in my book, and I've got
a little notes thing on my phone. I would say,
DeAndre Hopkins, good name and little game, good name, little game. Yeah,
he's a wonder. He's traveling down the dusty winnemuck A
road at this point here. Journeyman chasing a ring didn't
(23:57):
work out in Kansas City, So now he's going to
Baltimore and the Ravens. If my math is correct on this,
the Ravens will be hopkins third team the last two
years fifteen in thirteen years, although he spent most of
the early part of his career of the Houston Texans,
and since he left Houston, he's bounced around here, there
(24:17):
and everywhere, and yeah, had DeAndre Hopkins was once an
elite wide receiver back in his salad days with the
Houston Texans, but he has clearly slowed down. Fact the
numbers are rather disturbing. The nerds do not like DeAndre
(24:37):
Hopkins at all. He averages one point seven yards per
route or root last season, and per reception he had
the lowest mark in his career with Kansas City and
Tennessee last year. And he is simply going to be roster.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Filler in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Now that being said, there's what a bigger deeper meaning,
a bigger deeper meaning to DeAndre Hopkins going to the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, what is that? I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
The bigger meaning is to pacify Lamar Jackson. Why would
Lamar Jackson want a washed up wide receiver? What you
got to keep the quarterback happy? And this is what's
known as the star treatment by the front office in Baltimore. Now,
what is my evidence by giving my evidence here, and
(25:30):
you're the juror, and you can decide. Go back in
the hot top time machine. A couple of years ago,
Lamar Jackson publicly gave advice to the GM Eric DaCosta
there in Baltimore, and his advice was that the Ravens
should go out and get DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Junior.
This goes back to twenty twenty three, so a couple
(25:51):
of years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Now do you.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Remember who the Ravens added last year in actually I
guess in twenty twenty three. Yeah, that's right, ol Beckham.
They added Odell Beckham. And here we are twenty twenty
five and they've now added DeAndre Hopkins. That's two for two.
Of course, Lamar Jackson should have suggested the Ravens go
(26:13):
out and get Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase. Instead he
recommended Hopkins and Beckham and good luck on, good luck
on that, good luck on that.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It's Mallard, how about that?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Grall Sakwan Barkley said in a news conference on Monday
that he hopes that his deal helps other backs earn
deals that make his look less like an outlier. He
went on to mention John Robinson, Jamier Gibbs, and James Cook. Yeah,
and do you think any of those guys will be
able to match or exceed Barkley's contract?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
All right, So I'm gonna go in and oh and
I'll put those together and I'm gonna go No, this
is a novel situation for Barkley.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Everything lined up.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
In a row, and we've seen it with some of
the running backs that they've signed. I know they haven't
been too many so far, but he's on his own
part of the map. Barkley and Jamier Gibbs is good,
and James Cook's good, and Robinson and all those guys,
but they're just not considered the transcendent running back. So
(27:27):
I see no evident all those guys can get better.
And if they get better and then the teams get
to a Super Bowl, sure, but I'm not betting on
any of those things happening next.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So the Thunder and the Calves have had the best
records in the NBA for much of the season, but
many have pigeonholed them as regular season powerhouses rather than
serious title contenders, and now some are saying after this
past weekend, it's time to stop doubting them. Ben, are
you still doubting the Calves in the thunder?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I am doubting the Calves. I know it seems crazy
they won all these games. I still would bet on
the Celtics if you gave me some funny money. I
bet on the Celtics over the Cavaliers in the playoff series.
I'm starting to buy into Okay See, but then they
went out and lost to the Nuggets the other night,
So now I'm confused on on OKC. But I believe
more in Oklahoma City than I do in Cleveland, and
(28:12):
Cleveland reminds me remember the Atlanta Hawks years ago. They
had like three or four all stars to a good
regular season team. Mike Budenholzer was a coach, and then
in the playoffs they ran into I think it was.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Lebron's team and that was it. They went they went out.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
So I think it's a similar situation with that next.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Angel Reese said in a recent interview that she's excited
for the new CBA and that WNBA owners. If w
NBA owners don't give the players what they want, they
are sitting out now. Been the highest base salary in
the league last year was two hundred and forty two
thousand dollars. It'll undoubtedly go up. How high do you
think WNBA salaries will go?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, I don't I don't know the books. I just
I've read online that the WNBA has been around since
the nineties and they've never turned to profit. So how
I don't know how you can give race? I mean,
what do you do if you're the w NBA ownership,
You're like, well, wait mate, so you don't want to
work and we won't lose as much money, but three
hundred thousand cool, but an extra sixty thousand? How we do?
(29:08):
He passes Loredo. I pack boy, you were done. I
got it done.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Timothy from Northern Kentucky rights in a thing.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
That's my tammy voice. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Timothy from Northern Kentucky says, what do you consider too
much and not enough?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Wink wink some kind of code.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
There, It is an interesting code. Will you say it
one more time?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
He says, what do you consider too much and not enough?
Mm hmmm sounds like that, you know.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Well, too much would be like a full steak, right,
I don't need a whole your too, I could finish
to bite Loreno person.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Honestly, kids meals do me great. Sometimes I just have
a little snack a snack.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh, kids meals unbelievable, all right? And not enough would be.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Those lunchables.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
You think those are disgusting? Really you shouldn't eat very
popular processed, well.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
A lot of foods process all right. Ferg Dog writes
in says is it okay to take a girl to Sizzler?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
On the first tape?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Oh my gosh, it's so funny.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
You brought up Sizzler. I tried to go there the
other day because I want the cheesy bread.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, the cheesy bread.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
To get the cheesy bread, for sure. But you know what,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
There's not many Sizzlers.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Less seemed a.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Little overpriced to me.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
A steak dinner was forty dollars and then you have
to add on forty for Sizzler, and then you have
to add on the salad bar because you got to
get the bottom of the salad.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
You better was.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Packed like my grandma.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I don't think you want to touch anything near that
salad bar.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah, go to Shaky's. Bunch of lunch, you know, get
the mojo potatoes.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
I do like Shaky's. They have a really good buffet.
But no, you know, it depends on how much you
love your girlfriend. Do you want to take her to
Sizzler or do you want to take her to the
Queen Mary on that buffet? Like, choose, choose how much
you love your girl spoil if you can. All right,
you're gonna spend sixty dollars on one single person at Sizzler.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
You might as well just go ham it somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
The Queen of Hearts with Lorena.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
As Steve wrote in he says, I live in a
small po dunk town. It's very hard to find women
to date.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Any advice.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
You know what. Dating in small towns is very hard.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
You have to go to all the hole in the
wall bars and hope that everyone is at a bachelorette party.
And you get the girls that are kind of homely,
you know, who hasn't seen anyone in Wow.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Yeah, then you all buy them shots. It's going to
cost you a dolla. One of them is going to bite.
One of them is gonna because they want a husband.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
They're jealous, you know, aim for those bachelorette parties.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Interesting advice from Lorraina. That's why you're the Queen of Hearts.
Let's say hello to the Bobby is calling in? Bobby Really,
he's in Florida, you.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Know again named Bobby lives in us.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
The key lime pie.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Is this the famous Bobby?
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Hello Bobby.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
That's a good that's a good ki. That's a good pie.
By the way, that's solid.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
Pie, very key lime.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Here.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Shortly before I get I've got a two part question
for you, Queen. Before I get to that, I just
wanted to touch on a too much or not enough question. Uh,
you got to realize it's always better to have too
much because you don't have to finish the whole meal
if you don't have enough, and then you're always wanting more.
So keep that in mind.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Thanks, if you have too much leftovers?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Right, absolutely, exactly?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
All right. So I've been talking to a girl. I
met her online for a couple of months. She's in Kansas,
obviously I'm in Florida, and uh, you know, we talk
constantly all day every day. It's kind of the point
where we're getting pretty serious about meeting. So what's your
advice on a timeline on when it's too soon or
how long should we wait before we take the flight?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
You know, love is one of those things. Life is short.
I think you should take the flight as soon as possible.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
If you guys are excited about meeting up and like actually,
you know, connecting in person, I would do it as
soon as possible.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
And you have you have a geographical does you have
an advantage?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Right?
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Because I think a lot of people would love to
fight to Florida. No one wants to go to Kansas, definitely.
I'm sorry for people in Kansas, but there's tornado. We
don't want to die.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
So Kansas is cool, but be Florida.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
It does have hurricanes. So each has their vice.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, every part of the world has some kind of disaster.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
They could strikes.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
You got earthquakes, Yeah, exactly, exactly, they jump on it.
I'd say go fast.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
If she comes to Florida. One of my issues is
I've recently remodeled a bunch of stuff. I just had
my bathroom redone. Everything is nice, tile, chrome, stailess, steel,
and she keeps talking about wanting golden. I don't know
what she means.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I think she wants your bank account. I think is
really okay, still skin.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
You can turn straw into gold.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
All right, Bobby, Keli Pie, Bobby, let's salo to Steve

This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It is a standoff roger that welcome in the beginning
of yet another night of the Ben Mahler Show. We
are in the air everywhere, chilling in the audio world.
Get it with justin chair, the only show in town
(00:54):
coast coast, border to order and beyond on the mast
eh own right. Powerful microphones of fs are ammundating live
from the depot, the smoke Depot. These takes burning up
the powerful transmitters of Fox Sports Radio as we were
(01:16):
hanging out with you and we're broadcasting live from the
ti Raq dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. I
know mikey Cano don't you know impressed by that tire
(01:36):
rac dot com the way tire buying showb So it's
kind of like a soap opera. This time of the year,
I think you'd agree right and pay attention to this crap.
And this time it's all about the NFL, the new
league year, players getting paid massive amounts of money, other
players getting fired from their jobs. And there's this great
(01:58):
juxtaposition in the NFL where a lot of people we're
getting paid by other people are not getting paid. But
our lead is from mister Rogers neighborhood. We're going to
take the trolley into mister Rogers neighborhood. There. Now, when
we left the studio during our previous episode of the show,
when we walked out of the studio, we were relatively confident.
By the time the afternoon came around, Aaron Rogers has
(02:23):
was going to get a deal.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He was going to have a deal done.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
But between the time that we turned off the microphones
and walked out of the building into the parking lot,
got in the cards, drove to the north Woods, went
to bed, woke up. By the time we woke up,
deal would have been done and everything, said Steelers Steelers Steelers. Well, wait,
the plot thickens if you've not heard the latest Bumpkus
(02:47):
radio silence, which you're not supposed to have when you're
doing talk radio radio silence. So Aaron Rodgers said to
be still this late hour, waist deep in deliberation and
the negotiation with the Pittsburgh football team as he decides
his next chess move in free agency. And so much
for the reporting that he was not going to play.
(03:09):
Not only is Rogers planning on playing, he's got multiple
teams that are trying to get his rotting carcass on
their roster. Considering how bad Rogers was with the Jets,
it's fascinating that there are multiple teams that are trying
to get Aaron Rodgers in the uniform. So, based on
the conflicting reports in the overnight here, Rogers is said
(03:32):
to be an impass with the Insurs. The other team
involved the Giants. There's also some chatter that don't discount
the Minnesota Vikings. So what exactly let's focus in on
the black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow,
So what exactly is the hang up in the berg?
(03:52):
So as we discussed this, the question why cut to
the Chase. Why have Aaron Rodgers camp and these Steelers
been unable to find common ground? So I've got promo
Code Pigeon and Uncle Sam, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(04:14):
delicious Saint Patti's Day's cookies. Now I've not had one
of those Saint Patti Day's cookie but there's a big
box in the other room. More on that later. And
if that doesn't work, we'll put those together and make
some parogies. You know, because you think Pittsburgh, you think
parogis why not?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So a the working theory is that the Yinser's front
office has sticker shock.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
They have they have sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I know most people do shopping online these days, but
sometimes you'll go to the store old school we called
old school. And in the old world you used to
have ghost place called like malls and whatnot, and you'd
have to find stuff in the store and you couldn't
really price around. So the Steelers, it's a case of
the best lay plans of mice men and NFL executives
(05:04):
often go a right. So everyone assumed. Now you know
what happened when you assume everyone assumed The position that
Aaron Rodgers was willing to play for peanuts with the Rams. Right,
the Rams, The story was a couple of weeks ago
that Matthew Stafford was going to go play for the
Giants or the Raiders, and then the Rams were gonna
(05:25):
sign Aaron Rodgers and he was gonna give the Rams
a sweetheart deal because he wanted to play with Sean
McVay and Puka Nakua and that was the way it went. Well,
we know Stafford did the old head fake and said, psych,
I'm gonna actually stay with the Rams, and he took
a contract that was a little less than he could
have gotten elsewhere, So we know that to be true.
(05:46):
So Mike Tomlin and really just the Steeler front office
not know how much Mike Tomlin's involved in this. It's
the Steeler front office here, the Rooney family and whatnot.
They're trying to find the promo code. They want the
promo code the Rams are gonna used. They had a
promo code. The Ram's gonna use that promo code. And
at this point these Steelers are like, Hey, didn't you
(06:07):
used to sell insurance? Can we get that discount? Double check?
Can we get that we'd like to discount double check. Now,
it sounds like Rogers is being pig headed, which is fine.
I mean, if you've got multiple teams and you know
your value, I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He can say he's a douche and all that.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But the Rodgers is in a position of strength here,
and he wants to get the market rate. That's the
hypothesis going around right now. And there's no coupon because
you're in western Pennsylvania and you've got the cool logo
on one side of the helmet and all that. And
so Rogers, if we're reading the room properly, believes he's
(06:48):
got all of these teams by the foot.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Balls, if you will.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Here, and he's the last veteran quarterback who doesn't one
hundred percent blow. Okay, there's other veteran quarterbacks, but they
all have codies. Now, Rogers, you could argue, has a
lot of stank from being in the cockpit with the Jets. However,
it does not appear to be affecting his value at
(07:13):
this particular point. And his advanced age in the athletic
kingdom all right now, page two, So you've got the
yin and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
The Yang, the Yin and the Yang.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So the Yin and the Yang. You got Aaron Rodgers
and what's going on between the Steelers and the Giants
are lurking in the in the weeds if Rogers wants
to stay in New Jersey and play more bad football
and totally destroy both New York teams or New Jersey teams.
So the other part of this is how do you
categorize the latest developments as they relate to Russell Wilson,
(07:46):
the former, you could argue, incumbent Steelers quarterback who is
out there in free agency right now. So how does
his situation change based on everything that's going on.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So think of.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Mister unlimited Russell Wilson like a pigeon, and I just
bear with me on this. He's an old fashioned stool pigeon.
At this particular point, he's playing the waiting game. He
has no other options. Russell Wilson's got no other options.
He's not gonna sign first, He's going to sign last.
(08:21):
And he is in this little exercise. He's a decoy.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
At least the.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Steelers are trying to sell Rogers and his reps that
they could always pivot back to Russell Wilson. They in fact,
we know that to be true because the Steelers leak
to their useful idiots otherwise known as beat writers the story,
and that's the story they wanted to get out, that
Russell Wilson could go back and all that. So Russ
(08:49):
is in afterthought as he should be, as he should
be the way he played in an absolute embarrassment down
the stretch.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
For the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So in this exercise, Russ will be the last one picked,
the last ones.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I know about that. When I was in elementary school,
I was like the last.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
One picked, and I know what it's like to be
overlooked and all that.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I've been there.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I do the Overnight show and yeah, so that's where
we are now, all right, last word? We go quickly
to Tampa, the Tampa Saint Pete Airy, where the Buccaneer
pirate ship locked in. This week, their wide receiver, Chris Godwin,
(09:31):
a godlike figure. He was a free agent, and the
story from the last couple of days was Chris Godwin
had plenty of opportunities to leave the state of Florida
and go somewhere else and get the riches of Solomon.
He decided he did not want the riches of Solomon. Oh,
it's hard to say that he got a raw deal,
as Godwin got a three year contract for sixty six million,
(09:53):
but forty four million of that Chris Godwin deal is Gara,
so that's how much he actually got. But he believes
that others would not have settled for that. In fact,
that Godwin, speaking to the microphones and cameras in Tampa,
said it boiled down to family and just staying true
(10:16):
to who I am was the quote. He then said
that nine out of ten people in his position would
not have necessarily made this decision, meaning that he's somehow
in the top percentile of morally correct people because he
took less money even though he got forty four million guaranteed.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Should we have a bake sale for Chris Godwin? All right?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So yeah, the chatter is Godwin could have made an
extra twenty million dollars. Now, the speculation is that the
new England football team, the Patsy's, offered Chris Godwin. I
think they're called the Patriots, but the way they played
recently the back to me and the patsis. So the
chatter is the Patriots are the ones that offer for
(11:00):
Chris Godwin that money, money, money.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
So what do you make of the story?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now? Including some quotes from Chris Godwin saying that he
essentially left.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
He confirmed the story that he left.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
In the neighborhood of twenty million dollars from New England
on the table to stay in Tampa. All right, So
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I'm skeptical
that this is true. And it seems like there's a
lot of semantics involved in this, and so my BS
(11:33):
detective started going.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Just like that when I saw it.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Methinks the football player is a little too braggadocious.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Methinks, Yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You'd be the biggest dingleberry in the world to reject
an extra twenty million dollars. All things being the same,
You're doing the same sport and all that stuff. And
it's not like Baker Mayfield is the second coming. He's fine.
He's an average NFL quarterback. He's not that great, but
he's not terrible. He's just kind of there, all right.
(12:06):
So it's not like you're playing with Mahomes or regular
season Lamar Jackson or somebody like that. You're playing with
Baker Mayfield. He's fine, but you're gonna leave twenty million
on the table here. You're affecting future generations of the family.
So what's going on here? Do I think he's being
completely transparent? No?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I do. I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It's more likely than not, based on my read of
the situation, that there is a concophony of fine print
involved in this, meaning Uncle Sam or a go. Let's
say it's Florida versus, as Bill Belichick called it, Taxachusetts
in that tax situation, the state income tax in Florida
(12:51):
is I think we can all agree a really good
state income tax zero percent. It's really good. Really, that's
what you want, right, you want zero percent? That's that's
what they've got. Zero percent Massachusetts or Taxachusetts is Bill
Belichick called it famously, the income tax plus the jock
tax is nine percent. So right off the top, that's
(13:12):
nine percent. Now, if you do some mal or math
and you futs around with the numbers, Let's say that
Godwin had an offer of around eighty million dollars in
that neighborhood from the Patriots and sixty six million from Tampa,
And you can futs around with the numbers, put your
(13:32):
taxation in there, and all that, and also you don't
know how much of the money from the Patriots was guaranteed.
Is it funny money? Is it fake money? There's a
lot of filler. It's like hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
They put a lot of filler in there with these contracts.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
So godwin, he has to come back from that devastating
ankle injury. So who knows he's damaged goods until proven otherwise.
And that ended his twenty twenty four season. The bit short.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So I lead this hour from one of the more
bizarre stories of the week in the sporting world that
we dabble in, and it's the quarterback market. But so
I'm not gonna do another male monologue about Aaron Rogers
and Russell Wilson. And we've talked about that in a
previous hour. If you missed it, podcast will be up
when we get done. You can replay that over and
(14:29):
over and over again. But you can scratch another name
off the big board. Another name off the big board,
not a list. Terry in England Big Board big board.
So if you didn't hear, now maybe not. We learned
that Daniel Jones has a new home. The hustle continues
for Daniel Jones, proving that you can be bad at
(14:53):
your job and still find employment. Daniel Jones and the
Indianapolis Colts have agreed the terms a one year deal
for fourteen million dead presidents.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Now what does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So it sets up this is gonna blow you away.
I hope you're not doing anything that could get you
in trouble, because when I'm about to say, if you
didn't hear about this, this is nuts. This is next level.
The Indianapolis Colts have set up a training camp quarterback
battle between Danny Dimes and Anthony Richardson for the starting
(15:33):
job of the Colts. Hand to God, no lies, Hand
to God, no lies. So let us discuss the question
for the Esteemed panel, how would you describe the Colts
quarterback room with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. So I've
got spirit Animal, Twilight Zone, and Star Treatment, and we
(16:00):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make some cheesies.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I haven't had them yet.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
They look good though, the cheesy Canadian treat cheesy, they're crunchy.
Have you had some yet? You have not. Lorain has
not had them yet either, but we'll have them all right.
So again the question, what do you or how would you?
How would you describe? How would you describe the quarterback
room in Indianapolis with Daniel Jones on one side and
(16:29):
Anthony Richardson on the other. So my first thought was satire.
Now I had heard rumors that Daniel Jones was conceivably
going to go to the Colts. But when it actually happened,
and I was a little groggy, I was a little
hazy do the overnight show here?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
So I sleep during the day and I wake up
and I'm like, what did I miss?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
What happened in the world when I was I was
checked out, when I practiced death for the day and
I was gone for the day.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So I wake up and I look and I saw, oh,
Daniel Jones agreed to a deal with the Colts. And
then I saw the comments that he's going to be
in a positional battle for the starting job, and I thought, well,
it's got to be satire, And then it wasn't. Butt
crack sports or any of the other satire side sports
talk Barry, No, it wasn't Sentel, which is an NBA thing.
(17:14):
So like it's almost like the GM there, Chris Ballard
was attempting here to sign a guy that will get
him fired. Although Jim rs is the one who's running
the show as the owner, right, But Chris Ballard the GM.
This is an act of sabotage, is what it is.
Is he trying to get himself fired. Like if you
(17:34):
were to put together on a diagram the worst possible
quarterback depth chart you could put in the year circa
twenty twenty five, They've just done it. Ballard has built
the gem of the Colts, has built a bridge. It
is a bridge to nowhere.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Literally nowhere.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's gotta be in modern football. The worst quarterback room
in NFL history has there ever been going into an
offseason then the following year, this is these are the
people you want. Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. You gotta
be joking, right, and holy Conoley, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You have further contaminated your rosters, like giving the entire
team the neurovirus, right, I mean, what are you doing?
Highly contagious and the spirit animal. I'm convinced now with
Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson side by side, you've got
dumb and dumber, But the spirit animal is pepe lepew pe.
(18:35):
You what stinks right, It's a skunk. It's a skunk situation.
Anthony Richardson, Just for context to back up my point. Now,
I knew when I watched the Colts, and I'm you know,
did the TV show, so I was trying to watch
every game as possible and watching Indianapolis play. Anthony Richardson
normally would have two or three incompletions, then complete like
(18:57):
a forty yard pass, and then three or four incompletions.
Then eventually the Colts get the ball back and he
completed a thirty or forty yard pass.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
But he was the.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Thirty ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL. How many quarterbacks
were ranked in the final NFL rankings? Ding Ding Ding,
ding Ding thirty nine. Now, Daniel Jones, where did he rank?
How about number thirty six? So you have the thirty
sixth and thirty ninth quarterback and you're ready to hit
the ground running or in this case, hit the ground
(19:26):
and go right into a ditch. The only quarterbacks that
were worse than Daniel Jones and slightly ahead of Anthony
Richardson were Deshaun Watson, the creepy quarterback of the Browns
who's now done playing in the NFL for all intentsive purposes.
And Spencer Rattler. And Spencer Ratler we know he sticks.
(19:49):
So watching these guys play for the Colt, I mean
image measure being a Colt season ticket, older holy man,
So watching them will cause dizzyness, lightheadedness and nausera watching
them play now page two. There was somebost I got
a kick out of this too. I know, I'm on
my soat box, just bear with me. So I got
a kick out of the story. There were some people
(20:10):
in the media saying that Anthony Richardson should ask for
a trade, he should demand a trade, that this is
an act of disrespect by Chris Ballard and the Colts
to bring in Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Is that how you see it? All right?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So another part of the story was I laughed at
I absolutely laughed. I said, who on godscreen Earth thinks
that Anthony Richardson is in any kind of position? Are
we in the twilight zone? Seriously, we must be in
the twilight zone and picture if you will, a world
where the worst quarterback by any measurement in the NFL,
(20:47):
Anthony Richardson, has any kind of leverage to ask for
a trade. Now, if anything, this is embarrassing that the Colts.
It's not a real quarterback back. If you can't beat
Danny Dimes out for for the QB one job in Indianapolis,
then you should. You should be driving in a way moo,
in the back of a way mo because you know
(21:08):
the way my self driving car. But it's crazy in
the dimension I'm in, you have no leverage. He's lucky
he's not given a pink slip Richardson. The way he's
performed here, in fact, in several states, what he has
done is he's guilty of grand larceny.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Is what he's guilty of.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And I go back to all of the numbers, the
eyeball test, by any of that and all of it,
he is a Schmendrick at the quarterback position. Well, he
runs really well. Shot hop you moser, what's wrong with you?
Anthony Richardson. His completion percentage was below fifty percent. That's
(21:45):
in a dumb down here, in the NFL with a
lot of short passing mixed in and all that he
completed forty seven point seven percent of his passes. You're
not even you can't even play for the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers with that kind of number. And he ranked in
the very last percentile in just about every category for
a quarterback in the NFL. And there had not been
(22:06):
a quarterback this bat since Tim Tebow. And if you
go across the board, you got to go back to
like the nineteen eighties when baseball was the most popular
sport in America anyway, not the NFL in the early eighties.
And he also tapped out of a game because he
was tired Anthony Richardson last year, and people said, wow,
(22:28):
he should demand a trade. And I believe he's missed
seventeen games an entire season through his first two years
because of injury. But other than that, everything's going great,
Everything's going wonderful. All right, Now, final point, we head
away from Indianapolis. I think I've beaten that into the ground.
And so now we move to the wide receiver portion
(22:49):
of the broadcast. Please fast forward a quarteringly, so wide
receiver DeAndre Hopkins, good name DeAndre Hopkins has agreed to
leave Cans. He was a free agent after the Super
Bowl and DeAndre Hopkins taking his talents to the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah,
does that make you tingle? Does that get you excited?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah? Hopkins will get a one year deal with payhim
five million.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So he leaves behind Mahomes and Kelsey and Andy Reid
for Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry and Harball. And that's what
he's got there in the charm City, a lot of
great seafood in Baltimore. He can hang out with sports
with Coleman. So what does the Andre Hopkins have left
in the tank for the Ravens?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
That is the question on this one.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I would put Hopkins in my book, and I've got
a little notes thing on my phone. I would say,
DeAndre Hopkins, good name and little game, good name, little game. Yeah,
he's a wonder. He's traveling down the dusty winnemuck A
road at this point here. Journeyman chasing a ring didn't
(23:57):
work out in Kansas City, So now he's going to
Baltimore and the Ravens. If my math is correct on this,
the Ravens will be hopkins third team the last two
years fifteen in thirteen years, although he spent most of
the early part of his career of the Houston Texans,
and since he left Houston, he's bounced around here, there
(24:17):
and everywhere, and yeah, had DeAndre Hopkins was once an
elite wide receiver back in his salad days with the
Houston Texans, but he has clearly slowed down. Fact the
numbers are rather disturbing. The nerds do not like DeAndre
(24:37):
Hopkins at all. He averages one point seven yards per
route or root last season, and per reception he had
the lowest mark in his career with Kansas City and
Tennessee last year. And he is simply going to be roster.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Filler in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Now that being said, there's what a bigger deeper meaning,
a bigger deeper meaning to DeAndre Hopkins going to the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, what is that? I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
The bigger meaning is to pacify Lamar Jackson. Why would
Lamar Jackson want a washed up wide receiver? What you
got to keep the quarterback happy? And this is what's
known as the star treatment by the front office in Baltimore. Now,
what is my evidence by giving my evidence here, and
(25:30):
you're the juror, and you can decide. Go back in
the hot top time machine. A couple of years ago,
Lamar Jackson publicly gave advice to the GM Eric DaCosta
there in Baltimore, and his advice was that the Ravens
should go out and get DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Junior.
This goes back to twenty twenty three, so a couple
(25:51):
of years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Now do you.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Remember who the Ravens added last year in actually I
guess in twenty twenty three. Yeah, that's right, ol Beckham.
They added Odell Beckham. And here we are twenty twenty
five and they've now added DeAndre Hopkins. That's two for two.
Of course, Lamar Jackson should have suggested the Ravens go
(26:13):
out and get Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase. Instead he
recommended Hopkins and Beckham and good luck on, good luck
on that, good luck on that.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It's Mallard, how about that?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Grall Sakwan Barkley said in a news conference on Monday
that he hopes that his deal helps other backs earn
deals that make his look less like an outlier. He
went on to mention John Robinson, Jamier Gibbs, and James Cook. Yeah,
and do you think any of those guys will be
able to match or exceed Barkley's contract?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
All right, So I'm gonna go in and oh and
I'll put those together and I'm gonna go No, this
is a novel situation for Barkley.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Everything lined up.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
In a row, and we've seen it with some of
the running backs that they've signed. I know they haven't
been too many so far, but he's on his own
part of the map. Barkley and Jamier Gibbs is good,
and James Cook's good, and Robinson and all those guys,
but they're just not considered the transcendent running back. So
(27:27):
I see no evident all those guys can get better.
And if they get better and then the teams get
to a Super Bowl, sure, but I'm not betting on
any of those things happening next.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So the Thunder and the Calves have had the best
records in the NBA for much of the season, but
many have pigeonholed them as regular season powerhouses rather than
serious title contenders, and now some are saying after this
past weekend, it's time to stop doubting them. Ben, are
you still doubting the Calves in the thunder?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I am doubting the Calves. I know it seems crazy
they won all these games. I still would bet on
the Celtics if you gave me some funny money. I
bet on the Celtics over the Cavaliers in the playoff series.
I'm starting to buy into Okay See, but then they
went out and lost to the Nuggets the other night,
So now I'm confused on on OKC. But I believe
more in Oklahoma City than I do in Cleveland, and
(28:12):
Cleveland reminds me remember the Atlanta Hawks years ago. They
had like three or four all stars to a good
regular season team. Mike Budenholzer was a coach, and then
in the playoffs they ran into I think it was.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Lebron's team and that was it. They went they went out.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
So I think it's a similar situation with that next.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Angel Reese said in a recent interview that she's excited
for the new CBA and that WNBA owners. If w
NBA owners don't give the players what they want, they
are sitting out now. Been the highest base salary in
the league last year was two hundred and forty two
thousand dollars. It'll undoubtedly go up. How high do you
think WNBA salaries will go?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, I don't I don't know the books. I just
I've read online that the WNBA has been around since
the nineties and they've never turned to profit. So how
I don't know how you can give race? I mean,
what do you do if you're the w NBA ownership,
You're like, well, wait mate, so you don't want to
work and we won't lose as much money, but three
hundred thousand cool, but an extra sixty thousand? How we do?
(29:08):
He passes Loredo. I pack boy, you were done. I
got it done.

You get a winning season.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Lorena?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, that's it okay, the Raina's way of saying she

Speaker 5 (29:56):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Timothy from Northern Kentucky rights in a thing.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
That's my tammy voice. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Timothy from Northern Kentucky says, what do you consider too
much and not enough?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Wink wink some kind of code.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
There, It is an interesting code. Will you say it
one more time?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
He says, what do you consider too much and not enough?
Mm hmmm sounds like that, you know.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Well, too much would be like a full steak, right,
I don't need a whole your too, I could finish
to bite Loreno person.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Honestly, kids meals do me great. Sometimes I just have
a little snack a snack.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh, kids meals unbelievable, all right? And not enough would be.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Those lunchables.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
You think those are disgusting? Really you shouldn't eat very
popular processed, well.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
A lot of foods process all right. Ferg Dog writes
in says is it okay to take a girl to Sizzler?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
On the first tape?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Oh my gosh, it's so funny.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
You brought up Sizzler. I tried to go there the
other day because I want the cheesy bread.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, the cheesy bread.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
To get the cheesy bread, for sure. But you know what,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
There's not many Sizzlers.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Less seemed a.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Little overpriced to me.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
A steak dinner was forty dollars and then you have
to add on forty for Sizzler, and then you have
to add on the salad bar because you got to
get the bottom of the salad.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
You better was.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Packed like my grandma.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I don't think you want to touch anything near that
salad bar.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah, go to Shaky's. Bunch of lunch, you know, get
the mojo potatoes.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
I do like Shaky's. They have a really good buffet.
But no, you know, it depends on how much you
love your girlfriend. Do you want to take her to
Sizzler or do you want to take her to the
Queen Mary on that buffet? Like, choose, choose how much
you love your girl spoil if you can. All right,
you're gonna spend sixty dollars on one single person at Sizzler.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
You might as well just go ham it somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
The Queen of Hearts with Lorena.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
As Steve wrote in he says, I live in a
small po dunk town. It's very hard to find women
to date.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Any advice.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
You know what. Dating in small towns is very hard.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
You have to go to all the hole in the
wall bars and hope that everyone is at a bachelorette party.
And you get the girls that are kind of homely,
you know, who hasn't seen anyone in Wow.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Yeah, then you all buy them shots. It's going to
cost you a dolla. One of them is going to bite.
One of them is gonna because they want a husband.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
They're jealous, you know, aim for those bachelorette parties.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Interesting advice from Lorraina. That's why you're the Queen of Hearts.
Let's say hello to the Bobby is calling in? Bobby Really,
he's in Florida, you.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Know again named Bobby lives in us.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
The key lime pie.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Is this the famous Bobby?
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Hello Bobby.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
That's a good that's a good ki. That's a good pie.
By the way, that's solid.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
Pie, very key lime.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Here.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Shortly before I get I've got a two part question
for you, Queen. Before I get to that, I just
wanted to touch on a too much or not enough question. Uh,
you got to realize it's always better to have too
much because you don't have to finish the whole meal
if you don't have enough, and then you're always wanting more.
So keep that in mind.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Thanks, if you have too much leftovers?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Right, absolutely, exactly?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
All right. So I've been talking to a girl. I
met her online for a couple of months. She's in Kansas,
obviously I'm in Florida, and uh, you know, we talk
constantly all day every day. It's kind of the point
where we're getting pretty serious about meeting. So what's your
advice on a timeline on when it's too soon or
how long should we wait before we take the flight?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
You know, love is one of those things. Life is short.
I think you should take the flight as soon as possible.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
If you guys are excited about meeting up and like actually,
you know, connecting in person, I would do it as
soon as possible.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
And you have you have a geographical does you have
an advantage?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Right?
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Because I think a lot of people would love to
fight to Florida. No one wants to go to Kansas, definitely.
I'm sorry for people in Kansas, but there's tornado. We
don't want to die.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
So Kansas is cool, but be Florida.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
It does have hurricanes. So each has their vice.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, every part of the world has some kind of disaster.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
They could strikes.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
You got earthquakes, Yeah, exactly, exactly, they jump on it.
I'd say go fast.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
If she comes to Florida. One of my issues is
I've recently remodeled a bunch of stuff. I just had
my bathroom redone. Everything is nice, tile, chrome, stailess, steel,
and she keeps talking about wanting golden. I don't know
what she means.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I think she wants your bank account. I think is
really okay, still skin.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
You can turn straw into gold.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
All right, Bobby, Keli Pie, Bobby, let's salo to Steve
Steven insane Tonio.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
It's the Queen of Hearts with Lorraina.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Hello, Steven, I hey there, Ben Ali show. I love
the show.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Thank you, sir, thank you? What's up your on with
the rain?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
And go ahead? What do you got?
Speaker 7 (35:02):
Well?
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Raina?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I'm curious is everyone at Fox Sports Radio banging Joy Taylor?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
That horb all right?
Speaker 5 (35:10):
I don't know do I need to dump that?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
It's up to you, you know, because you want to
get a phone call or or not. King Roy writes
in I'm sure you waited too long.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Hypothetically, King Roy writes and says, if I walk in
on my wife cheating on me, should I ask if
I can join in? Or should I kick them both
out because they didn't ask me to join in? That's
from King Yeah, I know you.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Can be saltier.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
