Speaker 1 (01:27):
The Pacers and Knicks taking the focus of much conversation
here in this portion off the Ben Malins Show, made
possible in part by tire Iraq for over forty years,
Tirak has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free, backed

mobile tire installation, tire rac dot com the way tire
buying should be.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And that's also approved by ALF and Fergdog. They approve that.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So what what a night and come in here we
break down these playoff games. And I'm not gonna sit
here and tell you anything different. The other night, after
the Oklahoma City Minnesota game, I was like, man, I mean,
I'm glad I get paid to watch this crap.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's just terrible. It was just god awful in the West.
And then you have Game one in the East, and
we're gonna start.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
With that world's most famous arena, all those celebrity a
holes sitting in the front row, Midtown Manhattan, right there
above Penn Station, the Mecca, the big stage. Like Game
one Eastern Conference files, you had Tyreese, Saliburton and the
Pacers taking on Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
And the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And that was the setup, right, that was the setup here.
I measure there was some disagreement in terms of the
gambling side of things, and that the wise guys were
on the knicks and the public loved the Indiana Pacers. Now,
I just want to clarify before we get into the
meat of the monologue. We will address later on. We've
got a full night of overnight talk. We will address
(03:01):
the untimely death.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Of Jim Ersay, the Colts owner.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We'll get to that later on Ursy's The announcement came
down on Wednesday that Jim Mersey had died. More on
that later, but we're gonna start with the basketball. And
if you didn't see the game, you know, normally we
say it's our good good Mitch for the day, it's
our good active kindness year. We did this for you,
and that's kind of the catchphrase of the show watching
these basketball games. However, on this night, it's different than
(03:30):
all other nights because this game was a doozy. It
was a doozy. Tyrese Saliburton. He tied the game, he
thought he won the game. He had a long jumper
that bounced and it looked like it hit the rafters
at Madison Square Garden right off the back of the rim.
As time expired at regulation at the end of regulation.
This is like every cheeseball Hollywood movie where the ball
(03:53):
bounced it. The only difference is that's the game winning shot.
This was not the game winning shot, but the ball
bounced up in the air and everyone's when the surrender cobra.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
In the crowd at that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And then they did it again after the game, and
so the Pacers had to go to overtime, and then
they finished it off.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
They did the kill shot in overtime.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
A stunning, mind blowing, unreal comeback and down goal the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Down goal the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
At least for one game one eight one to thirty
five year final and how unlikely. The New York Knicks
had a seventeen point lead midway through the fourth quarter.
They had a fourteen point lead with under three minutes
remaining in regulation. This just does not happen. And all
the broadcasters like to get on, oh, well, you never know,
(04:44):
this could be the day comeback happens, and ninety nine
point nine percent of the time it's bull crap. This
was the point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero
one percent where it was not bull crap. And while
Halliburton's getting the headlines here, Aaron Nesmith brought the Pacers
(05:04):
back as it was. Forget the Splash Brothers. This guy
was better than the Splash Brothers back in the old
days with Golden State at the end there for Indiana Halliburton.
After he made his shot, he thought he had won
the game there and then the moment there he was
going crazy. He did the old Reggie Miller choke signal
(05:25):
that Reggie Miller did in another life many many years
ago in the nineties for Spike Lee back in the day.
So Indiana has taken home court advantage and Game two
is Friday night, Friday.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Night, Game two of this series.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Now, the better story continues to be in the losing
locker room. And how do you explain that? How does
one explain that performance blowing his seventeen point lead midway
through the fourth quarter, fourteen point lead three minutes ago
in the game, crap that sucked. Let's hear from Tom Tibodeau,
(06:04):
the head.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Coach of the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Here's Coach Tibbs and he's talking about how the the
end of the game. Let's go to a cut to
on this the end of the game, and you'll hear
the question of the answer.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And some things got really wonky for the Knicks and
the Pacers. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Does you feel like guys got a little too loose
in the final minutes offensively in a little sloppy with
the ball? Yeah, you know, the turnovers were costly, you
know so, and then they converted them into easy buckets,
you know, so that sort of fueled their offense. That's
what got them going again. You know, they started off
the game, you know, in a good rhythm, and then
(06:43):
you know, we did it much better as the half
went on, and then you know, down to stretch, we
didn't do what we needed to do.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So code for we are choking dogs.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That's what he meant to say, but instead he gave
you some thirty second SoundBite there.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
How about Jalen Brunson. Here's a Jalen Brunson as he
didn't get it done?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You here the question and the answer is Brunson on
what happened there at the.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
End, And how do you summarize You guys had a
fourteen point lead with two fifty one left to go.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
How do you summarize how the game closed?
Speaker 6 (07:17):
You can't really summarize it.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Give them a lot of credit.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
They close the game out like they've been doing all playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It's not really good on our partment. I can sum
it up.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Chicken crap. It was chicken crap as it was. It
was so bad. God was that terrible. And it was
great to watch the pa Listen. I have no skin
in the game. I don't, but man, the Pacers are
fun to watch, all right. So the question shout, we
examine the question here. Let's break it down here because
we have the power the bully pulpit here in sports radio.
(07:49):
So who gets the dirty water street dog, a blame
for Jalen Brunson's Nicks, and an epic all time choke job,
all time choke job. So I've got burger king and goldfish,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a nice soft pretzel which
(08:09):
would have put up more of a resistance than the
New York Knicks defensively. If you just put a soft
pretzel with that salt on there that's been sitting out
rotating in the sun all day, that would have provided
more of a resistance than the New York Knicks defense
at the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But we have to start with the head of the serpent.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We liked the player, but that was a absolute dog
crap performance by him. The basketball God giveth the basketball God,
taketh away. Jalen Brunson, the most clutch player in the
NBA this season. He's got to wear this right there
on the chin, right there. And this is a public
(08:51):
service announcement that past results do not guarantee future success.
All that matters is what you do in the moment.
How do you handle the immense pressure of that moment.
And on this night, unlike most other nights, Jalen Brunson,
he was in the cockpit and he was flying the
vomit comet. And this wasn't just a vomit commet. This
(09:13):
was a comic Kazi mission by the Knicks. Brunson was
in the frying pan, but he was a block of mozzarella,
which turned out to be you know, put cheese in
a frying pan. It's a guy mozzarella melting beautifully. At
the end of that game, how bad was it?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Now? The Knicks were up. I mentioned seventeen. I jotted
it down.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
They were up by seventeen, was six twenty six to
the going game halfway through.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That's a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They had a fourteen point ly, as we mentioned, with
under three minutes to go in the game. But I'm
gonna start this from the six to twenty six mark.
From that point up seventeen, you just make a few plays,
you win the game.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
New York was outscored.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
By twenty points, including overtime twenty points. Jalen Brunson had.
He did have twelve points. How whoever, he is the playmaker.
Now he's the playmaker.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
He did not facilitate the offense. He became a hog,
a ball hog, and pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I heard that somewhere along the way, stumbling and bumbling
brunts in the final minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Here as the final about ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He had no assist he had no steals. He had
three turnovers and a bunch of shots. And the Knicks
got bupkis. And there's an actual at the deli. There
there's a thing we can take the numbers and also
taking a number and getting in line are og and
Anobi and Josh Hart who were contaminated with cooties. At
the end of the game, they combined to shoot sixteen
(10:41):
percent at the end of the game. And as we mentioned,
Tom Thibodeau, who has to wear the shame bell, the
Knicks coach there were failing to adjust defensively. In listen,
I never coached in the NBA. I just do an
overnight talk show. But even I knew what Indiana was doing,
and I'm pretty sure the Knicks knew what was going
on they didn't stop it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Is that because they couldn't stop it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
But the Pacers repeatedly sliding underscreens, and that allowed the
Pacer players to get three point opportunities and many of
them were wide open, no resistance, and so Timms should
have gone. Dennis Green, a former Fox Sports radio personality
(11:23):
Dennis Green and said, now, if you want to crown them,
then crown their asses. But they are who we thought
they were, and we let them off the hook. New
York was outscored twenty seven to four on points off turnovers.
You talk about giving a game away, that is the
textbook example of giving a game away.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It's wonderful, all right now, page two.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So Indiana wins it, and that's the secondary story. The
Knicks blowing it is the biggest story. I think we
can all agree on that you know anything about sports,
But what is the word for Aaron Nismith's performance in
eating the Indiana Facers back at Madison Square. Guard Now
he got to assist because the knicks just completely fell apart.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
They became unraveled at the end there.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But on the other side, aaron Ne Smith a bunch
of big shots there down the stretch.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
So what is the word?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
So my word is, actually it's a fast food situation.
It's burger king two words, because that is a That
performance was a whopper. That was an absolutely I mean,
you've got nsb real here. Aaron Ne Smith is a
rather faceless, nameless.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Player in the NBA, right, You know, the hard old.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
People know who he is, but the casual people don't
know who this guy is. You talk about making a
name for yourself. He was shaken and bacon out there
late in the game. He had twenty points over the
final ten minutes, but six of six to close the
game on three point shots. He looked like me Moneyball
Malleer out there knocking down three point shots and man,
he absolutely deep fried the New York basketball team and
(13:00):
it was so great. All those celebrities during the surrender
cobra position with their hands above, you know, putting their
their elbows extended and their the back of their their head,
the hands on the back of their head was great.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Now, the the.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Only moment that most will likely remember is Tyree Saliburton
and his basket. But it is fair to say the
the real dagger, the dagger.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Most of them were.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
From Niemen, right, most of them were. Now Halliburton's basket
was majestic. It was beautiful, and it was it was great.
And so this also, much to the dismay of men,
he proves that lightning. You know, they say lightning never
strikes in the same place twice, which is a myth.
And well, it wasn't a game winning shot, Tyre Saliburton.
(13:52):
He didn't win the game, but his basket there, his
basket was the signature highlight.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Of this particular game.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It was really was Reggie Miller esque, except the toe
was on the line. And it's fair to say he
used all his artillery with the choke sign which didn't
make the New York Post. To believe the somebody sent
me a copy of that the back page. I think
it's actually the front page of the New York Post.
People still read those newspapers in New York. Not many
(14:21):
other places, but they still read the newspaper.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
In New York. And sure enough, Halliburton right there.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I think I said choke two point zero or something
like that on the back page. Now the last word here,
all right, the last word. So let's take a couple
steps back. We're one game in. Isn't that an elimination situation?
The Knicks had a big lead, they blew the lead.
The Knicks actually got the lead with Jalen Brunson not
(14:48):
even out there.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
So any advice to Jalen.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns and Tom Thibodeau and.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The Knicks going forward.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So before I give you my advice, I want to
play cut one here. So here is let's go back
to Tom Thibodeaux. Here's what Tom Thibodeau had to say about,
you know, just in general, the mindset of the Knicks
going back for game two. Take a listen, coach, what
do you do going into game to Friday to bounce
back from this?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
What do you tell your guys to put this behind them? Yeah,
the same thing.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
You know, like there's a lot of emotional highs and
lows in the playoffs. You got to bounce back quickly.
You look at the film, make your corrections, get ready
for game two. And that's you know, when you go
into the playoffs, you lay out the plan or how
you're going to approach the entire playoffs.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
So that was a cookie cutter response by Tom Thibodeau.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And what I would do. I would get up in
front of the team. They would all they would all
ignore me. Who are you? Why are you here? You're
you're a loser.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But I would tell the team, I said, listen, the
only Uncle Mo is in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
But on the court, there's no Uncle Mo.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
There's no Mo, there's no momentum, and there is no
carryover to these things.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And so you have to you do have to be
the goldfish in You have to forget everything.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And I would also advise going to a drug store
and buying some mouthwash because that entire Nick team down
the stretch at halatosis, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Now for Indiana, you keep doing you. I get the Pacers.
They've got that Jenna si Quah.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
If you will here, there's something about I don't have
any team in the playoffs. I like watching the Pacers
play I'm Benny Brightside on the Pacers.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I enjoy.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
They don't play much defense, but they keep coming at
you in waves convoys on offense, and it really is
poetry in motion. It's tantalizing offensive basketball. And they shoot
a lot of three point shots, but not to the
level of teams like the Celtics and some others that
were eliminated.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 1 (16:53):
App Hetting to the Horseshoe in the Sky well Gone
in not beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show,
we are in the air eywhere shoulder to shoulder as
we see flying chickens in the barnyard coast to coast, border,
(17:16):
the border and beyond on the mast and noisily powerful
microphones of fs are emminating live from the down the
touchdown in the back of the end zone as we
are emanating from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved
by the Deacon and mister Irrigation.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
As they listened to the show there in Houston.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
This portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in
part by ty Iraq.

what and where they drive. Ship fast and free, which
is very important for fer Dog and alf back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation tire act dot Com.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
The way the tire buying show'd be.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
So we'll change it up.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
We'll get back to the basketball as we had a
dramatic ending the Indiana Pacers deliver the Deger to the
Pacers or to the next rather the Pacers to the next.
It was magical, absolutely. But our lead this hour is
from the NFL. Some some sad news to share. I
(18:34):
assume you've heard this by now, but maybe not. Jim Ersay,
very public figure, outspoken Jim Ersay, someone that we've talked
about a lot over the years. The longtime owner of
the Indianapolis Colts is dead. The team announced that on Wednesday.
He was sixty five, and Ersay died, they said the
(18:56):
team peacefully in his sleep.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
They claimed.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
In the afternoon on Wednesday, the team issued a very
worthy statement, a prepared message. There a lengthy prepared message
on the social media that highlighted his love of the
game and all that.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Of course, we don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's not really Ursay is gone, so it doesn't matter
how he died. There's obviously a lot of chatter on
social media about what actually happened. But Ersay was named
the owner of the Colts after his father died. He
inherited the team, and that was way back in nineteen
ninety seven. At the time, he's one of the youngest
owners in the NFL and the history of the league
(19:40):
at that time. Hey, here's the Colts you congratulations.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Now. Ersay was not not.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Supposedly in poor health recently, which has led to more
Internet speculation. In fact, he posted on social media early
in the day on Wednesday. His last post was good
wishes to in the Anni Pacers. That turned out to
be the last one before his untimely death. Again, no
(20:07):
cause of death was announced. A lot of Internet investigators
believe they have the answer. Certainly if you followed Ersay,
you know there's some some skeletons there. Unfortunately, but Ersay
very vocal about that, and he'd been open about the
fact he's had issues with alcohol and prescription drugs, and
he's been in and out or rehab. So many people
(20:29):
are the success rate of rehab is not not particularly great,
but he's had a couple of near fatal overdoses of
people trying to say, well, this is what happened, but
until they announce it, it's it's all just just chatter.
But let's get to the the point of this as
we discuss and the question when when someone who is
(20:49):
a public.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Figure, who we have talked about is out there in
the in the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
So, how are you going to remember the life and
times of jim Irsay as.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
The owner of the Colts?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Knowing that we're not Colt fans, most of us, but
what are you going to remember and how are you
going to remember jim Irsay?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So I have high school musical, toy story.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And young Blood and will combine all these things together
and give a melancholy goodbye to jim Irsay through the
proper eulogy. But the first thought I have number one,
being behind these microphones, it's hard to believe that I've
been doing my job as long as Ersa has been
(21:35):
the owner of the actual head owner of the Colts.
It's been a while, and jim Irsay has been one
of the characters in sport for better or worse, jim
Irsay is a character. Can we all agree on that?
Can everyone agree on that? He's whimsical, he's playful, he's
got an edge to him. Is someone that some people
(21:59):
out there the thing he's you know, the worst of
the worst.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But one thing that Ersay did and through his life,
which is now over, is he followed the mantra don't
be boring.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
He was not born.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
He also embraced a rather unique set of pillars if
you will, kind of like Greek philosophy, I expect the
unexpected with with jim Irsay, and.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
He kept showing your toes.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Now, my favorite memory, since we're talking about what are
you going to remember about jim Irsay, My favorite memory
of jim Irsay is just a couple of years ago
and I still can't believe he did.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
It's it's a high school musical, if you will.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Jim Irsay fired Remember this, this was in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
He fired Frank Wright.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
The Colts were three, five and one at the time,
so they were under five hundred. That's not the worst
records average. So Ersay he got to bug up his
took us he fires Frank Right and then hired the
guy from TV. He hired Jeff Saturday, who had played
for the Colts, but he was a television analyst at
(23:06):
ESPN as the interim head coach, and so this gave
all radio gas bags and television blowhards hope. Saturday had
no coaching experience unless you consider like the high school
level at some Christian academy in Georgia to be on
(23:27):
the level with the NFL. So he had not been
a professional coach at any level. And I remember still
doing monologues about that and what is Ursay doing here?
And everyone and their mother was ripping Jim Rsay. I
remember Bill Cower, he was cowering.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
He was so upset Bill Cower, and he's like, it's.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
A disgrace to the coaching profession. Ever was up at
arm should the NFL forced Ersay to sell the Colts.
He's lost his marbles and Jim Irsay doubled down. He
doubled I'm glad. He was glad that Jeff Saturday did
not have experience coaching in the NFL because he hadn't
(24:07):
learned the fear that so many coaches have in the league.
I thought that was a great line. I thought that
was a wonderful line by Jimmersy. Jimmersay was so burned
out on these coaches. He's like, I want somebody that
doesn't have the experience. Now, if you remember, Indianapolis won
their first game with the high school coach Jeff Saturday,
I believe they beat the Raiders, great moments in Raiders history.
(24:30):
And then Jim Mersey's football team, I think they lost
every game.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
The one game that stands out from that period was
where they played the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It was a Saturday game.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
They were up thirty three nothing with Jeff Saturday as
the coach the Colts, and they lost the game in overtime.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
They do a thirty three nothing le biggest blown lead
of all time. But this is not about that.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
This is about Jim Irsay and so again my top
memory is he hired a high school coach to coach
his football team, and he said he was glad that
the coach had no experience.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I thought that was great now.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Page two, So can you sum up the rather quirky
side of Jim Mercy If hiring a high school coach
is not quirky enough, So for me, the Jim Mersey thing.
I guess you can describe it as toy story like ers.
He was like just a kid that had a lot
of money and he inherited it. He was born on
(25:25):
third base, you know, a silver spoon kid and all that.
He won the genetic lottery. His father made the money
for the family. He inherited it and he enjoyed himself.
He was in a band, the Jim Mersey Band. He
would celebrate Colts wins by playing with the band there
and he just lived the aristocrat lifestyle. He had a
passion for collecting random memorabilia. He loved music in particularly
(25:49):
In fact, the legendary story we use this as a
I don't know if it was a mala riddle.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
We used it for something on the show.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
But he purchased elf In John's piano at auction, paid
almost a million dollars to buy a piano from Elton
john And he had his own personal rich guy museum.
As Jim Mersey leaves this mortal coil, I was actually
reading about this. He's got over five hundred items including
(26:20):
we mentioned that the Elton Johnny's got some some other
classic guitars from famous musicians that have gone by, your
years gone by. He's got the championship belt from Muhammad Ali.
He's got that, and on and on. So he decided
a couple of years ago he was not gonna sell.
In fact, there was some some Middle Eastern oil baron
(26:43):
that offered Jim Mersey.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
A billion dollars over a billion.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Dollars to buy his memorabilia, and Ursa's like, I'm good,
I'm not gonna do it. And then the other quirky
thing about ersaying this, this story used to pop up
just about every training camp when the Colts would go
to camp. And we're talking about Jim Mersey, who has
died in some of our memories of Jim Mersay, but
Jim Irsay also had a Santa Clause like quality to
(27:10):
him that he he was known for handing out wads of.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
One bills at training camp. You just walking around here.
I'm rich, you know. Here, I'm throwing money at you peasants.
Here's some some money.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And he'd have these weird trivia contests on social media
and and then he would give the winner like he'd
buy buy their tickets to games and all expenses paid
trips to games. I mean, and this is like he'd
do this on the regular So all right, now, final point,
so now that we've discussed all that, there is the
(27:49):
fact that life goes on to address and that the
Colts will be playing football coming up in a few
months and they will not.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Have Jim Mercy as the owner.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
So where does Jim Mersey's death leave the Colts franchise
going forward?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
And the answer to that is young blood.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
This is all through a state planning, through that kind
of business. Colin Coward's doing a commercial right now for
that kind of thing. But someone named Carly Ersay Gordon.
I have no idea that it, but she is projected
to be the day to day operator of the Colts
football ops in the wake of the death of her father.
(28:32):
She's forty four years old and she's going to actually
share the Colts with her sisters.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
So the three ladies will all share the team.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
What could possibly go wrong? That'll be a smooth operation.
Absolutely that there'll be no fighting at all. So anyway,
she and her sisters will be the become the youngest
owners in the NFL by more than a decade. They've
got youth on their side. Youth be served here. I
(29:04):
keep in mind that even though Ersa had the estate planning,
there's still going to be lawyers that are going to
be snooping around and making sure everything's okay, and they're
going to go through all the documents and all that
make sure it's all kosher. The t's were crossed, the
eyes were dotted, the DOCU signs were legit. And if
(29:25):
I'm not mistaken, as I kind of peruse the NFL,
I believe this woman, Carly Ersa Gordon, will become at
least the fourth woman to take over an NFL team
because of inheritance, right, because I know the Lions. I
(29:47):
believe that Lions, Titans, the Seahawks, and the Bengals are
being run. But the owner hasn't passed away. But the
Bengals are also being run, so I guess it's five.
The Seahawks are going to be sold. Allen died and
his sister has been running the team. So anyway, Jim
orsay our thoughts on him.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. This
is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Google.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Back in February, Joe Burrow said that he would revise
his contract to get both Jamar Chase and t Higgins
signed to extensions. Soon after, the Bengals did exactly that. Well,
now Burrow was getting on his soapbox and advocating for
Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Ben, do you think Burke can make it happen?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yes, if he gives back more money. Right.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I think he knows by now that the Bengals are
a franchise owned. The owner's nickname is El Chipo, So yeah,
they're not. They've they've already decided if they were gonna
pay the player, they wouldn't already paid him, right, They've
decided they don't want to pay Trey Hendrickson. They're not
gonna pay him, and it's just a matter of when
he's going to eat. Either show up or if he
doesn't show up, they're gonna trade him.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I don't see.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I don't see a scenario where he gets paid, so
it doesn't matter next.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Derrick Henry has shown no signs of slowing down, rushing
for nearly two thousand yards last season at age thirty.
He enters this season nineteenth on the all time career
rushing list, Ben, how far up the list do you
think he can go.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well, he's nineteenth right now, you figure he's got at
least a year or two where he's still.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Really really good.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
So and I thought he was doing last year to
be you know, total full disclosure.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
What are the Ravens doing here? Because he showed signs
of decline in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I say he can based on the math on this,
he can finish in the around the top ten, right
if he has two more big years and then he
keeps playing a couple more years after that next.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
Lebron James made a recent podcast appearance where he offered
some criticism of the Celtics, saying that he thinks they
got bored and complacent on the court.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Ben, is this a fair analysis?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
No to dumb analysis the Celtics, they didn't get complacent.
It was a flaw in the system. They were a
one trick operation. Is it was a dog and pony show.
All they did was shoot three point shots. They made
twenty five out of one hundred and three point shots
over three games.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
That's why they lost. That's all they could do. It sucks,
all right, how did we do? Coop?
Speaker 6 (32:21):
You pass this edition?
Speaker 3 (32:22):
That is a wait? Put it on the want at
the buzzar.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I wanted the buzzo Rena, I got the win.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I want it.

Lady Sideburns would like to.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Know, Hi, Lady Sideburns, what was.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
The worst punishment you received as a child.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I got the belt, that would be the worst. I
mean taking video games, and we had our.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Cag video games when I was a kid. But I
would say the corporal punishment of the belt. Only got
it one time, so that would be the worst. What
about you, of Lorena.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
Yet, somewhere between spankings and soap in my mouth?
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Were you a bad child? Loraina? Do you have a
lot of trouble.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Well, you know, I was a little sassy one, but
I had four older brothers, so we just got in
a a lot of trouble.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
You know, you're blaming your brothers. They were bad influences
on you. Yeah, you of course would never they caused
me to act out. You were a sweet, innocent ye.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
And then yes, those evil men, Yes, what about It's
a story as old as time.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Cool.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
There was spankings. I never got like belt or soap
in the mouth. It wasn't necessarily when I was a child,
but I was. I was in a lot of trouble
when I was in high school and I was not
allowed to after prom I had to come right home.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
I was not allowed to go out with everybody else.
So that was Ah, that sucked.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
So unfortunate. The good thing about the belt is if
you do it right, you only need to do it
one time and then for the rest of the kid's life.
They're like, oh crap, I don't want the belt. You know,
it's like a one time anyway, What is next here?
What do we have? If it's ask ben?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
The same old song and dance, but it sounds different
as we snazz it up every.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Week here out the alien o pineer would like to
know which is which is the better superpower, the ability
to fly or invisibility.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So invisibility would be better if you could monetize it,
like if you could. The problem is if you go
to commit crime, which you should never do, like, wouldn't
p will see the stuff that you're taking, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
If that's the case, then you might as well just Flyreina.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
I want to fly all day, Ben, I hate driving.
If I could fly everywhere, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Some people on the internet, they say you do fly
every day? What about you, Cooper Loop.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Yeah, I think I would choose flying as well.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Okay, but invisibility just pop up anywhere. You never have
to pay for a ticket. You can go anywhere you want, right,
You never have to play. You go on a plane,
they can't see you. How can they stop you from
going on a plane, So you could kind of fly
there anyway.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Right Next, a late night drug tester would like to
know if maple syrup isn't available, what fruit syrup do
you prefer for pancakes or waffles.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah, I've pretty much just gone maple syrup, so I
guess I would.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I don't know what I would.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Well, hold on, say I have that strawberry, which I
guess is kind of a thing.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
I like strawberry, so i'd go strawberry. What about you, Lorraina.
Speaker 8 (35:54):
I love when I go to I Hoop and they
have all the different syrup flavors.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
It's a little sampler things.

Oh yeah, I'll do a little bit here, A little
blueberry on the side, A little regular little strawberry they

That's the butter pecan.
Speaker 8 (36:10):
Oh my gosh, stop it, Okay, I'll stop.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Yeah, I haven't had most of those. I've had a strawberry.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I might have had blueberry one time, but I generally
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to the pancake.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
Yeah, the butter pecan from I Hop is great. The
strawberry is pretty good too.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah. I put enough sugar in there. It's like, that's
all you need. What's next to ask?
Speaker 1 (36:32):

Donkey a well oiled machine like the sausage.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
How did you spend your time on the toilet before phones, newspapers, books,
TVs in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
No TV in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
We had back in the art old days, we had
these things called bathroom books that had all these jokes.
It was like it was like being on your phone,
but it had like jokes and fun facts and it
was like the big bathroom Book.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Of fun facts. I forget what it's called, something like that.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
What about you, Loraina, That's that's a funny question.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Okay, no funny answer. Okay, all right, Coop, she's gonna
be the woman is giving up her a lot of time.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
I feel like I would like I would grab like

Speaker 1 (01:27):
The Pacers and Knicks taking the focus of much conversation
here in this portion off the Ben Malins Show, made
possible in part by tire Iraq for over forty years,
Tirak has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free, backed

buying should be.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And that's also approved by ALF and Fergdog. They approve that.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So what what a night and come in here we
break down these playoff games. And I'm not gonna sit
here and tell you anything different. The other night, after
the Oklahoma City Minnesota game, I was like, man, I mean,
I'm glad I get paid to watch this crap.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's just terrible. It was just god awful in the West.
And then you have Game one in the East, and
we're gonna start.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
With that world's most famous arena, all those celebrity a
holes sitting in the front row, Midtown Manhattan, right there
above Penn Station, the Mecca, the big stage. Like Game
one Eastern Conference files, you had Tyreese, Saliburton and the
Pacers taking on Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
And the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And that was the setup, right, that was the setup here.
I measure there was some disagreement in terms of the
gambling side of things, and that the wise guys were
on the knicks and the public loved the Indiana Pacers. Now,
I just want to clarify before we get into the
meat of the monologue. We will address later on. We've
got a full night of overnight talk. We will address
(03:01):
the untimely death.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Of Jim Ersay, the Colts owner.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We'll get to that later on Ursy's The announcement came
down on Wednesday that Jim Mersey had died. More on
that later, but we're gonna start with the basketball. And
if you didn't see the game, you know, normally we
say it's our good good Mitch for the day, it's
our good active kindness year. We did this for you,
and that's kind of the catchphrase of the show watching
these basketball games. However, on this night, it's different than
(03:30):
all other nights because this game was a doozy. It
was a doozy. Tyrese Saliburton. He tied the game, he
thought he won the game. He had a long jumper
that bounced and it looked like it hit the rafters
at Madison Square Garden right off the back of the rim.
As time expired at regulation at the end of regulation.
This is like every cheeseball Hollywood movie where the ball
(03:53):
bounced it. The only difference is that's the game winning shot.
This was not the game winning shot, but the ball
bounced up in the air and everyone's when the surrender cobra.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
In the crowd at that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And then they did it again after the game, and
so the Pacers had to go to overtime, and then
they finished it off.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
They did the kill shot in overtime.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
A stunning, mind blowing, unreal comeback and down goal the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Down goal the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
At least for one game one eight one to thirty
five year final and how unlikely. The New York Knicks
had a seventeen point lead midway through the fourth quarter.
They had a fourteen point lead with under three minutes
remaining in regulation. This just does not happen. And all
the broadcasters like to get on, oh, well, you never know,
(04:44):
this could be the day comeback happens, and ninety nine
point nine percent of the time it's bull crap. This
was the point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero
one percent where it was not bull crap. And while
Halliburton's getting the headlines here, Aaron Nesmith brought the Pacers
(05:04):
back as it was. Forget the Splash Brothers. This guy
was better than the Splash Brothers back in the old
days with Golden State at the end there for Indiana Halliburton.
After he made his shot, he thought he had won
the game there and then the moment there he was
going crazy. He did the old Reggie Miller choke signal
(05:25):
that Reggie Miller did in another life many many years
ago in the nineties for Spike Lee back in the day.
So Indiana has taken home court advantage and Game two
is Friday night, Friday.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Night, Game two of this series.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Now, the better story continues to be in the losing
locker room. And how do you explain that? How does
one explain that performance blowing his seventeen point lead midway
through the fourth quarter, fourteen point lead three minutes ago
in the game, crap that sucked. Let's hear from Tom Tibodeau,
(06:04):
the head.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Coach of the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Here's Coach Tibbs and he's talking about how the the
end of the game. Let's go to a cut to
on this the end of the game, and you'll hear
the question of the answer.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And some things got really wonky for the Knicks and
the Pacers. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Does you feel like guys got a little too loose
in the final minutes offensively in a little sloppy with
the ball? Yeah, you know, the turnovers were costly, you
know so, and then they converted them into easy buckets,
you know, so that sort of fueled their offense. That's
what got them going again. You know, they started off
the game, you know, in a good rhythm, and then
(06:43):
you know, we did it much better as the half
went on, and then you know, down to stretch, we
didn't do what we needed to do.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So code for we are choking dogs.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That's what he meant to say, but instead he gave
you some thirty second SoundBite there.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
How about Jalen Brunson. Here's a Jalen Brunson as he
didn't get it done?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You here the question and the answer is Brunson on
what happened there at the.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
End, And how do you summarize You guys had a
fourteen point lead with two fifty one left to go.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
How do you summarize how the game closed?
Speaker 6 (07:17):
You can't really summarize it.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Give them a lot of credit.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
They close the game out like they've been doing all playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It's not really good on our partment. I can sum
it up.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Chicken crap. It was chicken crap as it was. It
was so bad. God was that terrible. And it was
great to watch the pa Listen. I have no skin
in the game. I don't, but man, the Pacers are
fun to watch, all right. So the question shout, we
examine the question here. Let's break it down here because
we have the power the bully pulpit here in sports radio.
(07:49):
So who gets the dirty water street dog, a blame
for Jalen Brunson's Nicks, and an epic all time choke job,
all time choke job. So I've got burger king and goldfish,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a nice soft pretzel which
(08:09):
would have put up more of a resistance than the
New York Knicks defensively. If you just put a soft
pretzel with that salt on there that's been sitting out
rotating in the sun all day, that would have provided
more of a resistance than the New York Knicks defense
at the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But we have to start with the head of the serpent.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We liked the player, but that was a absolute dog
crap performance by him. The basketball God giveth the basketball God,
taketh away. Jalen Brunson, the most clutch player in the
NBA this season. He's got to wear this right there
on the chin, right there. And this is a public
(08:51):
service announcement that past results do not guarantee future success.
All that matters is what you do in the moment.
How do you handle the immense pressure of that moment.
And on this night, unlike most other nights, Jalen Brunson,
he was in the cockpit and he was flying the
vomit comet. And this wasn't just a vomit commet. This
(09:13):
was a comic Kazi mission by the Knicks. Brunson was
in the frying pan, but he was a block of mozzarella,
which turned out to be you know, put cheese in
a frying pan. It's a guy mozzarella melting beautifully. At
the end of that game, how bad was it?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Now? The Knicks were up. I mentioned seventeen. I jotted
it down.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
They were up by seventeen, was six twenty six to
the going game halfway through.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That's a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They had a fourteen point ly, as we mentioned, with
under three minutes to go in the game. But I'm
gonna start this from the six to twenty six mark.
From that point up seventeen, you just make a few plays,
you win the game.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
New York was outscored.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
By twenty points, including overtime twenty points. Jalen Brunson had.
He did have twelve points. How whoever, he is the playmaker.
Now he's the playmaker.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
He did not facilitate the offense. He became a hog,
a ball hog, and pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I heard that somewhere along the way, stumbling and bumbling
brunts in the final minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Here as the final about ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He had no assist he had no steals. He had
three turnovers and a bunch of shots. And the Knicks
got bupkis. And there's an actual at the deli. There
there's a thing we can take the numbers and also
taking a number and getting in line are og and
Anobi and Josh Hart who were contaminated with cooties. At
the end of the game, they combined to shoot sixteen
(10:41):
percent at the end of the game. And as we mentioned,
Tom Thibodeau, who has to wear the shame bell, the
Knicks coach there were failing to adjust defensively. In listen,
I never coached in the NBA. I just do an
overnight talk show. But even I knew what Indiana was doing,
and I'm pretty sure the Knicks knew what was going
on they didn't stop it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Is that because they couldn't stop it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
But the Pacers repeatedly sliding underscreens, and that allowed the
Pacer players to get three point opportunities and many of
them were wide open, no resistance, and so Timms should
have gone. Dennis Green, a former Fox Sports radio personality
(11:23):
Dennis Green and said, now, if you want to crown them,
then crown their asses. But they are who we thought
they were, and we let them off the hook. New
York was outscored twenty seven to four on points off turnovers.
You talk about giving a game away, that is the
textbook example of giving a game away.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It's wonderful, all right now, page two.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So Indiana wins it, and that's the secondary story. The
Knicks blowing it is the biggest story. I think we
can all agree on that you know anything about sports,
But what is the word for Aaron Nismith's performance in
eating the Indiana Facers back at Madison Square. Guard Now
he got to assist because the knicks just completely fell apart.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
They became unraveled at the end there.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But on the other side, aaron Ne Smith a bunch
of big shots there down the stretch.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
So what is the word?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
So my word is, actually it's a fast food situation.
It's burger king two words, because that is a That
performance was a whopper. That was an absolutely I mean,
you've got nsb real here. Aaron Ne Smith is a
rather faceless, nameless.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Player in the NBA, right, You know, the hard old.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
People know who he is, but the casual people don't
know who this guy is. You talk about making a
name for yourself. He was shaken and bacon out there
late in the game. He had twenty points over the
final ten minutes, but six of six to close the
game on three point shots. He looked like me Moneyball
Malleer out there knocking down three point shots and man,
he absolutely deep fried the New York basketball team and
(13:00):
it was so great. All those celebrities during the surrender
cobra position with their hands above, you know, putting their
their elbows extended and their the back of their their head,
the hands on the back of their head was great.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Now, the the.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Only moment that most will likely remember is Tyree Saliburton
and his basket. But it is fair to say the
the real dagger, the dagger.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Most of them were.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
From Niemen, right, most of them were. Now Halliburton's basket
was majestic. It was beautiful, and it was it was great.
And so this also, much to the dismay of men,
he proves that lightning. You know, they say lightning never
strikes in the same place twice, which is a myth.
And well, it wasn't a game winning shot, Tyre Saliburton.
(13:52):
He didn't win the game, but his basket there, his
basket was the signature highlight.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Of this particular game.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It was really was Reggie Miller esque, except the toe
was on the line. And it's fair to say he
used all his artillery with the choke sign which didn't
make the New York Post. To believe the somebody sent
me a copy of that the back page. I think
it's actually the front page of the New York Post.
People still read those newspapers in New York. Not many
(14:21):
other places, but they still read the newspaper.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
In New York. And sure enough, Halliburton right there.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I think I said choke two point zero or something
like that on the back page. Now the last word here,
all right, the last word. So let's take a couple
steps back. We're one game in. Isn't that an elimination situation?
The Knicks had a big lead, they blew the lead.
The Knicks actually got the lead with Jalen Brunson not
(14:48):
even out there.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
So any advice to Jalen.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns and Tom Thibodeau and.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The Knicks going forward.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So before I give you my advice, I want to
play cut one here. So here is let's go back
to Tom Thibodeaux. Here's what Tom Thibodeau had to say about,
you know, just in general, the mindset of the Knicks
going back for game two. Take a listen, coach, what
do you do going into game to Friday to bounce
back from this?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
What do you tell your guys to put this behind them? Yeah,
the same thing.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
You know, like there's a lot of emotional highs and
lows in the playoffs. You got to bounce back quickly.
You look at the film, make your corrections, get ready
for game two. And that's you know, when you go
into the playoffs, you lay out the plan or how
you're going to approach the entire playoffs.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
So that was a cookie cutter response by Tom Thibodeau.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And what I would do. I would get up in
front of the team. They would all they would all
ignore me. Who are you? Why are you here? You're
you're a loser.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But I would tell the team, I said, listen, the
only Uncle Mo is in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
But on the court, there's no Uncle Mo.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
There's no Mo, there's no momentum, and there is no
carryover to these things.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And so you have to you do have to be
the goldfish in You have to forget everything.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And I would also advise going to a drug store
and buying some mouthwash because that entire Nick team down
the stretch at halatosis, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Now for Indiana, you keep doing you. I get the Pacers.
They've got that Jenna si Quah.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
If you will here, there's something about I don't have
any team in the playoffs. I like watching the Pacers
play I'm Benny Brightside on the Pacers.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I enjoy.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
They don't play much defense, but they keep coming at
you in waves convoys on offense, and it really is
poetry in motion. It's tantalizing offensive basketball. And they shoot
a lot of three point shots, but not to the
level of teams like the Celtics and some others that
were eliminated.

The way the tire buying show'd be.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
So we'll change it up.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
We'll get back to the basketball as we had a
dramatic ending the Indiana Pacers deliver the Deger to the
Pacers or to the next rather the Pacers to the next.
It was magical, absolutely. But our lead this hour is
from the NFL. Some some sad news to share. I
(18:34):
assume you've heard this by now, but maybe not. Jim Ersay,
very public figure, outspoken Jim Ersay, someone that we've talked
about a lot over the years. The longtime owner of
the Indianapolis Colts is dead. The team announced that on Wednesday.
He was sixty five, and Ersay died, they said the
(18:56):
team peacefully in his sleep.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
They claimed.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
In the afternoon on Wednesday, the team issued a very
worthy statement, a prepared message. There a lengthy prepared message
on the social media that highlighted his love of the
game and all that.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Of course, we don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's not really Ursay is gone, so it doesn't matter
how he died. There's obviously a lot of chatter on
social media about what actually happened. But Ersay was named
the owner of the Colts after his father died. He
inherited the team, and that was way back in nineteen
ninety seven. At the time, he's one of the youngest
owners in the NFL and the history of the league
(19:40):
at that time. Hey, here's the Colts you congratulations.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Now. Ersay was not not.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Supposedly in poor health recently, which has led to more
Internet speculation. In fact, he posted on social media early
in the day on Wednesday. His last post was good
wishes to in the Anni Pacers. That turned out to
be the last one before his untimely death. Again, no
(20:07):
cause of death was announced. A lot of Internet investigators
believe they have the answer. Certainly if you followed Ersay,
you know there's some some skeletons there. Unfortunately, but Ersay
very vocal about that, and he'd been open about the
fact he's had issues with alcohol and prescription drugs, and
he's been in and out or rehab. So many people
(20:29):
are the success rate of rehab is not not particularly great,
but he's had a couple of near fatal overdoses of
people trying to say, well, this is what happened, but
until they announce it, it's it's all just just chatter.
But let's get to the the point of this as
we discuss and the question when when someone who is
(20:49):
a public.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Figure, who we have talked about is out there in
the in the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
So, how are you going to remember the life and
times of jim Irsay as.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
The owner of the Colts?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Knowing that we're not Colt fans, most of us, but
what are you going to remember and how are you
going to remember jim Irsay?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So I have high school musical, toy story.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And young Blood and will combine all these things together
and give a melancholy goodbye to jim Irsay through the
proper eulogy. But the first thought I have number one,
being behind these microphones, it's hard to believe that I've
been doing my job as long as Ersa has been
(21:35):
the owner of the actual head owner of the Colts.
It's been a while, and jim Irsay has been one
of the characters in sport for better or worse, jim
Irsay is a character. Can we all agree on that?
Can everyone agree on that? He's whimsical, he's playful, he's
got an edge to him. Is someone that some people
(21:59):
out there the thing he's you know, the worst of
the worst.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But one thing that Ersay did and through his life,
which is now over, is he followed the mantra don't
be boring.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
He was not born.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
He also embraced a rather unique set of pillars if
you will, kind of like Greek philosophy, I expect the
unexpected with with jim Irsay, and.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
He kept showing your toes.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Now, my favorite memory, since we're talking about what are
you going to remember about jim Irsay, My favorite memory
of jim Irsay is just a couple of years ago
and I still can't believe he did.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
It's it's a high school musical, if you will.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Jim Irsay fired Remember this, this was in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
He fired Frank Wright.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
The Colts were three, five and one at the time,
so they were under five hundred. That's not the worst
records average. So Ersay he got to bug up his
took us he fires Frank Right and then hired the
guy from TV. He hired Jeff Saturday, who had played
for the Colts, but he was a television analyst at
(23:06):
ESPN as the interim head coach, and so this gave
all radio gas bags and television blowhards hope. Saturday had
no coaching experience unless you consider like the high school
level at some Christian academy in Georgia to be on
(23:27):
the level with the NFL. So he had not been
a professional coach at any level. And I remember still
doing monologues about that and what is Ursay doing here?
And everyone and their mother was ripping Jim Rsay. I
remember Bill Cower, he was cowering.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
He was so upset Bill Cower, and he's like, it's.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
A disgrace to the coaching profession. Ever was up at
arm should the NFL forced Ersay to sell the Colts.
He's lost his marbles and Jim Irsay doubled down. He
doubled I'm glad. He was glad that Jeff Saturday did
not have experience coaching in the NFL because he hadn't
(24:07):
learned the fear that so many coaches have in the league.
I thought that was a great line. I thought that
was a wonderful line by Jimmersy. Jimmersay was so burned
out on these coaches. He's like, I want somebody that
doesn't have the experience. Now, if you remember, Indianapolis won
their first game with the high school coach Jeff Saturday,
I believe they beat the Raiders, great moments in Raiders history.
(24:30):
And then Jim Mersey's football team, I think they lost
every game.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
The one game that stands out from that period was
where they played the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It was a Saturday game.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
They were up thirty three nothing with Jeff Saturday as
the coach the Colts, and they lost the game in overtime.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
They do a thirty three nothing le biggest blown lead
of all time. But this is not about that.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
This is about Jim Irsay and so again my top
memory is he hired a high school coach to coach
his football team, and he said he was glad that
the coach had no experience.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I thought that was great now.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Page two, So can you sum up the rather quirky
side of Jim Mercy If hiring a high school coach
is not quirky enough, So for me, the Jim Mersey thing.
I guess you can describe it as toy story like ers.
He was like just a kid that had a lot
of money and he inherited it. He was born on
(25:25):
third base, you know, a silver spoon kid and all that.
He won the genetic lottery. His father made the money
for the family. He inherited it and he enjoyed himself.
He was in a band, the Jim Mersey Band. He
would celebrate Colts wins by playing with the band there
and he just lived the aristocrat lifestyle. He had a
passion for collecting random memorabilia. He loved music in particularly
(25:49):
In fact, the legendary story we use this as a
I don't know if it was a mala riddle.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
We used it for something on the show.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
But he purchased elf In John's piano at auction, paid
almost a million dollars to buy a piano from Elton
john And he had his own personal rich guy museum.
As Jim Mersey leaves this mortal coil, I was actually
reading about this. He's got over five hundred items including
(26:20):
we mentioned that the Elton Johnny's got some some other
classic guitars from famous musicians that have gone by, your
years gone by. He's got the championship belt from Muhammad Ali.
He's got that, and on and on. So he decided
a couple of years ago he was not gonna sell.
In fact, there was some some Middle Eastern oil baron
(26:43):
that offered Jim Mersey.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
A billion dollars over a billion.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Dollars to buy his memorabilia, and Ursa's like, I'm good,
I'm not gonna do it. And then the other quirky
thing about ersaying this, this story used to pop up
just about every training camp when the Colts would go
to camp. And we're talking about Jim Mersey, who has
died in some of our memories of Jim Mersay, but
Jim Irsay also had a Santa Clause like quality to
(27:10):
him that he he was known for handing out wads of.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
One bills at training camp. You just walking around here.
I'm rich, you know. Here, I'm throwing money at you peasants.
Here's some some money.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And he'd have these weird trivia contests on social media
and and then he would give the winner like he'd
buy buy their tickets to games and all expenses paid
trips to games. I mean, and this is like he'd
do this on the regular So all right, now, final point,
so now that we've discussed all that, there is the
(27:49):
fact that life goes on to address and that the
Colts will be playing football coming up in a few
months and they will not.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Have Jim Mercy as the owner.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
So where does Jim Mersey's death leave the Colts franchise
going forward?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
And the answer to that is young blood.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
This is all through a state planning, through that kind
of business. Colin Coward's doing a commercial right now for
that kind of thing. But someone named Carly Ersay Gordon.
I have no idea that it, but she is projected
to be the day to day operator of the Colts
football ops in the wake of the death of her father.
(28:32):
She's forty four years old and she's going to actually
share the Colts with her sisters.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
So the three ladies will all share the team.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
What could possibly go wrong? That'll be a smooth operation.
Absolutely that there'll be no fighting at all. So anyway,
she and her sisters will be the become the youngest
owners in the NFL by more than a decade. They've
got youth on their side. Youth be served here. I
(29:04):
keep in mind that even though Ersa had the estate planning,
there's still going to be lawyers that are going to
be snooping around and making sure everything's okay, and they're
going to go through all the documents and all that
make sure it's all kosher. The t's were crossed, the
eyes were dotted, the DOCU signs were legit. And if
(29:25):
I'm not mistaken, as I kind of peruse the NFL,
I believe this woman, Carly Ersa Gordon, will become at
least the fourth woman to take over an NFL team
because of inheritance, right, because I know the Lions. I
(29:47):
believe that Lions, Titans, the Seahawks, and the Bengals are
being run. But the owner hasn't passed away. But the
Bengals are also being run, so I guess it's five.
The Seahawks are going to be sold. Allen died and
his sister has been running the team. So anyway, Jim
orsay our thoughts on him.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. This
is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Google.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Back in February, Joe Burrow said that he would revise
his contract to get both Jamar Chase and t Higgins
signed to extensions. Soon after, the Bengals did exactly that. Well,
now Burrow was getting on his soapbox and advocating for
Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Ben, do you think Burke can make it happen?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yes, if he gives back more money. Right.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I think he knows by now that the Bengals are
a franchise owned. The owner's nickname is El Chipo, So yeah,
they're not. They've they've already decided if they were gonna
pay the player, they wouldn't already paid him, right, They've
decided they don't want to pay Trey Hendrickson. They're not
gonna pay him, and it's just a matter of when
he's going to eat. Either show up or if he
doesn't show up, they're gonna trade him.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I don't see.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I don't see a scenario where he gets paid, so
it doesn't matter next.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Derrick Henry has shown no signs of slowing down, rushing
for nearly two thousand yards last season at age thirty.
He enters this season nineteenth on the all time career
rushing list, Ben, how far up the list do you
think he can go.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well, he's nineteenth right now, you figure he's got at
least a year or two where he's still.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Really really good.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
So and I thought he was doing last year to
be you know, total full disclosure.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
What are the Ravens doing here? Because he showed signs
of decline in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I say he can based on the math on this,
he can finish in the around the top ten, right
if he has two more big years and then he
keeps playing a couple more years after that next.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
Lebron James made a recent podcast appearance where he offered
some criticism of the Celtics, saying that he thinks they
got bored and complacent on the court.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Ben, is this a fair analysis?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
No to dumb analysis the Celtics, they didn't get complacent.
It was a flaw in the system. They were a
one trick operation. Is it was a dog and pony show.
All they did was shoot three point shots. They made
twenty five out of one hundred and three point shots
over three games.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
That's why they lost. That's all they could do. It sucks,
all right, how did we do? Coop?
Speaker 6 (32:21):
You pass this edition?
Speaker 3 (32:22):

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Know, Hi, Lady Sideburns, what was.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
The worst punishment you received as a child.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I got the belt, that would be the worst. I
mean taking video games, and we had our.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Cag video games when I was a kid. But I
would say the corporal punishment of the belt. Only got
it one time, so that would be the worst. What
about you, of Lorena.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
Yet, somewhere between spankings and soap in my mouth?
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Were you a bad child? Loraina? Do you have a
lot of trouble.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Well, you know, I was a little sassy one, but
I had four older brothers, so we just got in
a a lot of trouble.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
You know, you're blaming your brothers. They were bad influences
on you. Yeah, you of course would never they caused
me to act out. You were a sweet, innocent ye.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
And then yes, those evil men, Yes, what about It's
a story as old as time.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Cool.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
There was spankings. I never got like belt or soap
in the mouth. It wasn't necessarily when I was a child,
but I was. I was in a lot of trouble
when I was in high school and I was not
allowed to after prom I had to come right home.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
I was not allowed to go out with everybody else.
So that was Ah, that sucked.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
So unfortunate. The good thing about the belt is if
you do it right, you only need to do it
one time and then for the rest of the kid's life.
They're like, oh crap, I don't want the belt. You know,
it's like a one time anyway, What is next here?
What do we have? If it's ask ben?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
The same old song and dance, but it sounds different
as we snazz it up every.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Week here out the alien o pineer would like to
know which is which is the better superpower, the ability
to fly or invisibility.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So invisibility would be better if you could monetize it,
like if you could. The problem is if you go
to commit crime, which you should never do, like, wouldn't
p will see the stuff that you're taking, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
If that's the case, then you might as well just Flyreina.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
I want to fly all day, Ben, I hate driving.
If I could fly everywhere, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Some people on the internet, they say you do fly
every day? What about you, Cooper Loop.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Yeah, I think I would choose flying as well.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Okay, but invisibility just pop up anywhere. You never have
to pay for a ticket. You can go anywhere you want, right,
You never have to play. You go on a plane,
they can't see you. How can they stop you from
going on a plane, So you could kind of fly
there anyway.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Right Next, a late night drug tester would like to
know if maple syrup isn't available, what fruit syrup do
you prefer for pancakes or waffles.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah, I've pretty much just gone maple syrup, so I
