Speaker 1 (00:00):
We call an audible in our number four, our number four,
and we start out in Minnesota, where the Vikings punted
on Aaron Rodgers for JJ McCarthy and three years, a
three year Super Bowl window. Is this the right move
or a massive misfire by the Minnesota football team. Also,

(00:23):
quarterback Lamar Jackson is going to forfeit another seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for missing more than twenty percent
of this season's OTAs you fancy a thought on this one,
and critics are claiming that some in the media, some
in the media are exaggerating Brown's quarterback Shrader Sanders performance

(00:44):
in OTAs to curry favor with his father, Dion Sanders.
Is this a myth or reality? We'll talk about all
that and more right now, give it up, have a
great Monday, here, the ninth day of June. Here it
is our number four. It's all just a purple haze.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

(01:10):
Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere townfolk, as
the hammer comes down coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond. On the vast and glitzily powerful microphones of

hour will not bore you with hot NBA Finals talk
and listen you know what we didn't talk about that earlier.
You can go back into the podcast as Game number
two a dud, no dramatic game winner like in Game one,

(02:18):
no choke job. Oklahoma City led pretty much from soup
to nuts. That was a domination situation. Pacers did have
an early three point lead, but by the time the
second quarter run got going, that was it thunder led
by as many as twenty three, so they win. So
not much of a talker on that. But our lead
this hour is from Minnesota, twin cities. Interesting chatter over

(02:43):
the weekend. Eeried Rogers Aaron Rodgers in a previous episode,
we talked about this, he agreed to sign with the series,
and over the weekend he did sign a contract. Okay,
so that's in the past. Did you hear what happened
since then? Maybe not? Maybe you missed. So we're here now.
The Vikings had an opportunity to add Aaron Rodgers that

(03:05):
he was floating around there, and although they had this
kind of a deal, it wasn't a done deal with
the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he wanted to play for the Vikings.
At one point, the Vikings decided to pass on the
idea of signing free agent Aaron Rodgers this offseason, even
though he wanted to play in Minnesota. Instead, the Minnesota

(03:28):
football team said, you know what we're gonna do. We're
going to ride with a rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy, a
Michigan man JJ McCarthy. And they're calling it a quote
three year super Bowl window. Close quote a three year
super Bowl window. So let us discuss the question the
Vikings punting on air in Rogers, the Vikings punting on

(03:54):
Aaron Rodgers for JJ McCarthy and a three year that's
a quote three year super Bowl window. Is this the
right move or a massive misfire. That's the question. What's
the answer. And we have paint by Numbers, Silver Jubilee
and professionally edited, and we will combine all of these

(04:17):
things together and we are going to make the Baba Ganoosh,
We're going to make the Baba now lead off. When
I saw the storyline here, it's like, well, we knew
Rogers was going to go to Pittsburgh, and he didn't
necessarily want to go to Pittsburgh, but he had no
other options, and so it is interesting but not shocking
that he made efforts to go to the Vikings. They

(04:38):
have the pre eminent group of wide receivers in the NFL,
So if you're a quarterback, I would think you'd want
to play there a quarterback friendly coach, so it makes
sense on that level. However, it is a sign of
the times that the Vikings decided, Hey, it's JJ or
bust City, it's Jjbossey. The Vikings are following the Mensa,

(05:02):
their general manager, Adolpha Mensa, and they're going with the
analytical paint by numbers approach. They're taking the easy road.
No One will criticize the Vikings for doing this because
this is the standard in the industry. This is what
you're supposed to do. You have a rookie quarterback on
the contract where you're not paying them that much. You

(05:24):
ride the wave. You ride the wave. And McCarthy's salary
cap hit between now and twenty twenty seven will max
out at seven million. Now, if I made seven million dollars,
I would think, my god, I've won the lottery. Holy crap,
and you would probably too. But an NFL quarterback making
seven million dollars no big deal. Now, Minnesota, we are

(05:45):
told handed out the second most garantee money this off season,
hundred and seventy five million over one hundred and seventy
five million, and guaranteed mine, that's a lot of move
on the problem. And I think I'm right. I know
I didn't play in the NFL. I just host the
Overnight Show. I think you still need a good quarterback
to actually win. Like, oh, that's a that's a hot take, man.

(06:09):
I think I'm right on that, Am I am? I
not right? Like, I don't think this is just plugging
in a video game and you're ready to go and
all that stuff. And while many are optimistic about J. J. McCarthy,
you don't know what you don't know, and you don't
know whether or not this guy can play in the NFL.
You assume that he can. What does that even mean?
Like he can play, you can play a little bit?

(06:31):
Is he good enough to make plays in the playoffs
and end up in an NFC title game? JD. McCarthy
has not thrown a real NFL pass, But he looked
great in an exhibition get man did. He looked great
in an exhibition game. And so the clock is ticking,
tic tic tic tick championship widow three years. It's Lombardier bust,

(06:52):
Lombardier bus and McCarthy, who is I believe known as
mister twenty throws a game when he was at Michigan
that the Michigan Wolverines had a top first round draft
pick quarterback with Jim Harball, and they liked him so
much they played hide the quarterback with their quarterback, Jajd
mcguy who does that? Michigan did it. He's a Michigan man,

(07:14):
Jim Harball. And they had a defense. It was very
good at Michigan, and they had Blake Korn the running
back and they rode him. And the passing game was
just kind of an afterthought, which tells you that they
didn't really trust the quarterback and they didn't want to
have the ball in his hands and key moments, and yeah,
he made some throws for Michigan and the Wolverines won

(07:35):
a championship and all that, and it wasn't because of
their passing offense that they won the championship. So we'll
see what happens here. But if he stinks or is
just average, and you're in the Minnesota Vikings and you're
looking around the room, here, your window slam shut in
not three years, it's like a year and a half.
And then you're gonna be scrambling trying to get someone in.

(07:57):
And you've got Justin Jefferson and the wide receiver, the
preminent wide receiver who's got his money. Is he being
wasted here? You're wasting him with this? And then after
you decide McCarthy he can't play in that part of
the multiverse, then what do you do. Then you're gonna
scramble and get some veteran quarterback from some team and

(08:20):
Tim buck two now, speaking of veteran quarterbacks who are
not available, we go to Baltimore for our yearly Financial
Planning one oh one, Financial Planning, one on one. Raven's quarterback.
Is it true? Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, two time most
Valuable Player has given up seven hundred and fifty thousand

(08:41):
dollars of his money, of his money because he didn't
want to show up to enough offseason workouts. Yes, by
being absent from voluntary OTAs, which when you have a
clause in your contract, are not voluntary. You are being
paid to me there and he shows not to show up.

(09:02):
So quarterback Lamar Jackson set to forfeit, set to forfeit
another seven hundred and fifty thousand for missing more than
twenty percent of the OTAs. Do you fancy a thought
on this development, which is not a new development, because
Lamar has made it a habit. Now this is two
years in a row that he's done it. So, yes,

(09:24):
this is a different dimension, far far outside the Milkie way.
I cannot even imagine. I cannot imagine, I cannot grasp
doing this. I would have such such things saying, well,
he makes a lot of money. I know he makes
a lot of mate. That's not the point, Okay, that's
not the point. This man is giving up seven hundred

(09:46):
and fifty thousand, All right, like it's changed for the
parking meter. It's like I don't need it, you know,
screw that. And you're handing back money to a multi
billion dollar conglomerate, the Baltimore Ravens three quarters of a
million dollars. Bye bye, you're just giving it back. You're

(10:09):
giving the team a refund. They're willing to pay you,
they want to pay you, and all you have to
do is show up and futs around in T shirts
and shorts and you can't do it, cannot do it,
will not do it. You combine that with what happened
last year, because he did the same thing in twenty
twenty four, and Lamar Jackson has now given back to

(10:32):
the Baltimore Ravens one point five million in money that
they would have and could have and wanted to pay him.
One point five million. Easy money, money, many easy money.
Just here you go. And I've done the math on this.
It is the Silver Jubilee using malar math. In twenty

(10:58):
twenty five, the average salary in America was sixty one,
nine hundred and eighty four dollars. Again, that includes all
the very wealthy and all the very poor. The medium salary,
the median salary is sixty one thousand, nine hundred eighty four,
which means to get to one point five million. Let's

(11:19):
do the math on this. The average person making the
median salary in America would have to work twenty five
years to get one point five million. Lamar Jackson because
he didn't feel like working out in it was a
non stressful workout. He gave back that amount of money.

(11:41):
That is a The twenty fifth anniversary is the Silver Jubilee.
He gave it up the Silver Jubilee. Bad luck. I
don't care how much money you got. Bad Look what
are you doing? The Ravens obviously wanted you there. They
had the clause in the contract. Your mom, who negotiated
the contract, put it in there, and they would not
have had a finance ancial bonus if it wasn't somewhat

(12:01):
important for the team. You skip, you get bupcus. Then
he's getting bupcus in his absence. Is essentially giving the
bird is the word giving the bird to John Harbaugh
and saying, hey, you know, I'll show up when I'm ready,
and I don't care how much you're willing to pay me.
I ain't going unless I feel like it, and that's it.

(12:23):
And I don't care if you need me or not.
I'm not going out last thing. A developing storyline out
of Cleveland. What is this all about? So developing storyline?
There are people now criticizing some in the media saying
what is going on right now? Is scripted reality? Now?
What is going on? They are exaggerating, making ridiculous claims

(12:46):
about Brown's quarterback Shadur Sanders and his performance at the
recent OTAs in Cleveland. They're doing this to curry favor
from Papa Bear Sanders, Papa Buffalo in this case, Deon Sanders.
Is this myth or is this reality? That is the question.

(13:09):
So I have this squarely in the reality column. I mean,
let me tell you why I believe that. Okay, because
Dion Sanders, his kid, was getting beat up before the draft.
It turns out that worked. He was not drafted in
the first round of the second round, the third round
of the fourth round. He was drafted late. So that

(13:31):
negative campaigning, because negative campaigning does work. We know that
works in politics, works in sports. It works. So Dion
was obviously upset by that was embarrassing to him. It
was embarrassing to his kid. And he's got a lot
of friends in the media. Dean worked in the media
for a long time after his days with the Cowboys
thirty some years ago, and so he's been in the media.

(13:51):
He knows people in high places, he knows important people.
And it makes sense because I've consumed some of this
because we have the Daily show to do every night,
and so I come in here and look for things
that are interesting to talk about. The amount of fluff.
The amount of fluff that is out there for Chadur
Sanders is off the rails. It is so over the top,

(14:16):
like people that need to take a breath, you know,
take a breath, take a pause, like what are you doing?
He has a few ota practices, very few, no pads,
no pass rush, mostly playing against air, no scoreboard, and
one's keeping track of this stuff. And some people, many

(14:38):
of them in the media, are losing their minds about
Cheddur Sanders because he threw a couple of spirals in
that pretty in that pretty like And there's some big
time media people here who are and also adults on
the internet who are acting like this is the reincarnation
of Tom Brady and now he's going to be playing

(14:58):
for the Cleveland Browns. Oh the footwork, ooh la la
ooh la la oh, the poise, poison, the pocket, that's
my favorite poison. The pocket in an Ota practice cow
a bunga, dude, what are you doing? He's got that
hot orange practice jersey on so nice. No one's allowed.

(15:19):
It's like social distancing. No one's allowed within forget six
feet or ten feet or twelve feet, like fifteen feet
and I'm pretty sure that my aunt and my uncles
could probably stand tall in the pocket there and uh
with that, and then you've got the sizzle reels. They

(15:40):
sound just like that, the sizzle reels of Shadar Sanders.
The Ota footage. Have you seen any of these clips?
Some of these things. I thought it was AI at first,
but I don't think it's AI. I think this stuff
the footage has been professionally edited. It's like a Hollywood trailer,
very dramatic, very dramatic, right, the dramatic music, the slow mo,

(16:03):
the spiral. It's like it's Remember the Titans, but it's
remember the Browns. It's June Cleveland brown football. There's one
thing I know about the Browns. Their quarterbacks look great
in June. Just don't ask what they look like in September, October,
or November or December. The season usually ends by the
end of December early January. But they're glorified, essentially walkthroughs

(16:25):
these these OTA practices, and then you've got slaber slab a
slaber people on the meat. He's slobbery all over Schudu,
which does lead you to believe the conspiracy. There's something
to it where Dion Sanders made some calls or sent
some text messages out I need some help here. Let's
pump the tires on this guy and let's help him out.
And here you go. We'll pay back for the draft

(16:48):
snaffoo and letchend Sanders earn it. That would be nice.
If he actually plays well in September, we'll sit here
and we'll star on his chest and all that stuff.
Pat on the back and way to go and give
them some flowers and all that stuff. But not in June.
I'm not prepared to do that. I'm just not. Maybe

(17:10):
you are, You're a better person than me. I can't
do it. I see these OTA stories and I just
I'm I'm lathering. I'm gonna lather like what's going on?

Alf the Alien on Pinter says, am I not mistaken
that Patrick Mahomes sat his first year and then came

(18:57):
out at the OTAs and through five picks and everyone panicked.
The OTA reports or garbage. I think that was actually
training camp and it was like six interceptions, and I
remember there were people freaking out. Mahomes, He's not ready,
what are they doing? Blah blah blah blah blah. Turned
out he was ready. H turned out he was ready.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Josh in Nebraska says, hey, Ben, I'm not gonna mention who,
but the Herd called it over in Cleveland that Shirr
Sanders is the starter. Okay, I'm sure that. Well, if
I don't know if that's true, I'm sleeping when Coward's on.

my cane.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
Did you see it?

Speaker 4 (20:10):
I was trying to see if anybody was in front
of me and the tire ran it right over. That
could have been me, I couldn't you know? Holiday called up.
I could have died over the weekend?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Another guy, are you trying to get sympathy? Holiday called
in earlier and mentioned he had like multiple heart attacks,
he almost died twice or he did die twice.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
He said, oh yeah, man, there's nothing compared to what
I go through At the blind person. You know, I
like being blind too. Somebody says that, right, I'm blind.
You know Mike the leperchall One time he was trying
to cure my blindness too, like a few week ago.
It was crazy, man, that guy is so but dude,
I love being blind. I got you know what else?
If I wasn't blind, I'd have to go to work
right now, I've been up on my drink coffee. I

I was. Some other guy gave me so much food
I was throwing up like a few days ago, because
they know me from the know. I get all these
perks for being the overnight radio celebrity. Who would ever thought?
It's like the greatest thing that could have ever happened me.
It's better than sex, you know, like calling in overnight
and hanging out.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, I agree, calling overnight sports talk radio is much
better than having sex.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
And you know, if you don't have enough sex, just
listen to this show all night line. Because we're like
