Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our dumber wod Happy Friday
to you. It is the twenty seventh day of June.
On this Friday, the Hour begins with some baseball talk
the Police Blotterer as well. Don't forget this weekend the
Fifth Hour Podcast will be a new episode Mickey Mouse Maller.

(00:21):
That'll be up later today on the Fifth Hour Podcast
with Me and Danny g. But this hour, Police Blatterer,
How are things looking for Wander Franco ever playing again
in Major League Baseball? Also in the NFL? Why did
Justin Tucker accept the suspension from the NFL for ten
games after saying this story was just tabloid fodder? And

(00:44):
the guy arrested for disrupting the Super Bowl back in
February's halftime show claims that he was the one shot
by Antonio Brown. Do these new revelations change things for
Antonio Brown? We'll talk about that and more right now.
Give it up for our number one, A massive night.

(01:07):
If you're a fan of the Police blatter Man, is
it good? Welcome in the beginning of another night of
the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere
audio Buddies, as we are where the nighttime sparks fly

(01:27):
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and prodigiously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
the fest the Yakfest as we hang out here at
the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by the one
and only Kathy in Madison, and this portional show made

(01:49):
possible in part by our friends at tire Rack. For
over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back my free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation, tire act
dot Com. The way tire buying sure be so our lead.

(02:11):
This hour is from the Bad Boys Bad Boys of
the worlds Warsawce. I normally like to say, hey, I
watched something so you would not have to. I did
not watch one second of the second round of the
NBA Draft. I'm very proud of that. I watched some baseball.
There was only one night game in baseball, which sucked,
so I actually ended up watching. I was so desperate

(02:34):
to find something to watch. I watched the Edmonton They
used to be called the Eskimos, then the Wolkesters in
Canada change the name now they're called the Elks. That's
a dumb name. And they played my favorite Canadian Football
League team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. So I actually watched
hot CFL football for at least like an hour the
second half of that game. I did check it out.

(02:55):
But our lead this hour is from as mentioned, the
Bad Boys forgetting dueling pianos. We've got dueling scandals. In fact,
we have more than just dueling scandals in the world sports.
So we have an MLB headliner and an NFL legend
who faced Judgment Day. What kind of me explain? So

(03:16):
come one, come all fun for all ages. If you
have not been following along here, perhaps not. We'll start
with baseball, where a player got a forever contract and
has flushed it down the toilet. That's shortstop Wander Franco.
You might remember in a previous episode of this show
we mentioned that prosecutors and the Dominican we're looking for

(03:38):
five years, five years in jail, and we'd pointed out
five years in jail, he'd still be young enough to
come back and play baseball. Well, Franco was found guilty
of sexual abuse of a minor in the Dominican public.
He was apparently stooping his fourteen year old girlfriend and
he was twenty one at the time, and the judge

(04:00):
handed him, this is the wild part, handed him a
suspended two year prison sentence. So he's not going to jail.
He got a suspended sentence unless he, you know, if
he keeps his nose clean, walks the line, he'll not
go to jail. The judge said Franco would not serve
any further prison time unless he violates the conditions, and

(04:25):
so there were a bunch of conditions listed and all that.
Now it is interesting to point out the mother of
the teenage girl. She was convicted of sex trafficking and
she was sentenced to ten years in prison, also some
money laundering charges. So she's gone, and Franco is currently
on the naughty list. He's on the restricted list by

(04:47):
Major League Baseball, and he thinks he's not getting off
that anytime soon. He failed to report because he was
in a jail in the Dominican Republic. So let us
discuss the question how are things looking for Wander Franco
and him ever playing again in Major League Baseball. So
on this one, I've got Geiger Counter, back alley, and

(05:09):
dinner theater show, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are gonna make parmesan garlic twists,
which are much better than cinnamon twists by a country mile,
not even close, not even closer. So a now, when
you break down the Wander Franco store, you have the
micro over here, and you have the macro over here.

(05:31):
You got the micro, and the macro will start with
the micro the short term, so short term Wander Franco,
forget about it, right, forget about it. He's not walking
through any Big League clubhouse door tomorrow, not next month,
not the month after, not next year. Now the Rays
have already moved on. The Rays have their next big

(05:53):
face of the franchise, a power hitter named Junior Caminero,
who's been off to a good start in terms of
the power numbers. He's on pace for forty home runs
and one hundred and RBIs or so. So as for
the macro, the big picture, right, big picture, if you
check the Geiger Counter right now. Now, we obviously worry
about today's show because we're doing the show today. But

(06:17):
if you look at the Geiger counter for this gut.
It is radioactive, right radioactive. Now we are told that
wander Franco is likely not going to be able to
receive a work visa in the United States because of
his conviction. Even though he's not going to jail suspend
his sentence, he's not going to be able to get
a work visa. Now the question is is that for

(06:38):
two years or is that for the rest of time?
Inquiring minds would like to know. And even if he
pays off the right people to secure said visa. Somebody
sent me a message that said, well, here's the workaround
on that. You just have to find some woman to
pay money to do like a marriage, so you become

(06:59):
a citizen and then he can come to the States. Well,
even if that were to happen, and I'm sure that
no one would take a big pile of money to come,
you know, marry wander Franco and all that. But let's
say he found a way. There was a loophole. He
found a way. He's on the restricted list right now.
And as long as Franco is on the restricted list,
as I understand it, the Rays are not going to

(07:22):
have to pay him the massive salary. He signed an
eleven year contract for one hundred and eighty two million,
and it all vanishes into thin air. Well not all
of it, but ninety nine point you know, whatever percent
of it vanishes into thin air. Why. Here's why. And
again I have seen copies of the standard major league contract.

(07:42):
If you look at the boiler plate, you know, every contract,
if you ever signed a contract, they have a template,
and then there's parts of it they add extra stuff in,
and then there's other parts of it that are just
the basic outline. So the boilerplate uniform major League Baseball
contract that has been vetted by an army of lawyers,
it oblittigate. It puts on the shoulders of the player.

(08:06):
I don't know if we say morals clause, but you
have to conform to the high standards of personal conduct
and fair play and good sportsmanship. So personal conduct, that's
a that's a ding. I think, wow, that you are
being too hard. I don't think I am. So. Then

(08:27):
even if there was a way around that, right, which
I don't, I don't think it is. I think the
conviction pretty much is right there. Right, that's its grounds,
compelling grounds to justify legally the termination of the contract
for Wander Franco, So then he will face Major League
Baseball's punishment and under the domestic violence, sexual assault, child
abuse policy. So if you do the math on this

(08:50):
and you say, there wasn't that much on Trevor Bauer
in terms of any legal situation. He wasn't convicted, It
wasn't officially charged with anything Trevor Bauer, and he got
suspended for a good amount of time. Of course he
got a lot of that was because he ripped rob
Manfreud the Commission of Baseball. But in terms of Wander Franco, here,
if you do the math on this, Major League Baseball

(09:10):
has spent the better part of a decade they can
go back to about twenty fifteen or so trying to
convince every man, woman and child that they take off
field conduct seriously. And so Wander Franco, his Major League
Baseball career is on life support. It's already essentially flatlined

(09:31):
at this point. The only thing left is to sign
the death certific. Now, could things change, could the outlook
on certain things change, Could someone some rogue owner by
a baseball team and four years from now say, hey,
Wander Frankel's not even thirty. They'll do a whole PR thing.
They'll hire some PR firm and be like, oh man,

(09:53):
everything's great, everything's wonderful. He's changed his life, you know,
he found God or whatever, you know, the usual stuff,
and then we can revisit it. But right, worried about today,
So right now now. Now the other scandal. There's a
couple of them, but one of them that we want
to talk about right now involves the former Ravens kicker,
Justin Tucker, and yeah, had that go well? Justin Tucker

(10:16):
has been suspended for playing touchy feely in the massage
parlor of the first ten weeks of the twenty twenty
five regular season, and the NFL found he violated the
personal Conduct policy with some very immersive massages that he
was getting in the Baltimore area, and no appeal. The

(10:38):
interesting part of this is there's no appeal, there's no pushback,
there's no fight. Even though Tucker publicly hired some very
powerful lawyers and made some strong statements about how he
did not do this and this is not right and
all that stuff, well, he ended up taking the punishment.
So the question on this one, why why did Justin

(10:58):
Tucker accept the full suspension, no appeal, no trying to
shorten it from the NFL. So after a minutes long investigation,
we have determined. We have determined the reason that he
took this deal is because it was a deal. It
was like a play deal. It was like a play deal.
As we understand it, Justin Tucker had been negotiating in

(11:21):
back alleys through his attorney, and they was a negotiation
with the union, the NFL, and Justin Tucker's lawyers, and
they agreed under the cover of the shield that there
would be a ten games suspecially. It was all orchestrated.
It was all negotiated in a shady alley somewhere between

(11:41):
all these parties. And that is why there is no appeal.
That is why there is no appeal. So Justin Tucker
is betting that he can be ready to kick week
eleven of the NFL season and he will come back
and play in the NFL and he'll be good to
go by week eleven. The key for him, the odds

(12:01):
aren't great for him, but he's got better odds playing
in the NFL than Wander Franco does in baseball. Anytime soon,
because he's not really a player. Kickers are not players, right,
there's something else and all, he's thirty five, he's coming
off the worst season in the NFL, contaminated and all
that stuff. However, you and I both know when Week

(12:22):
eleven rolls around, inevitably there will be at least a
couple of kickers in the NFL for teams that are
projected to be playoff teams. And one will go, wow,
what happened to my hammi? The hammy went whammy? And
so they'll need a kicker, and then another we'll start
missing chip shot extra points, and then that team will
need a kicker. And then suddenly Justin Tucker's phone, his

(12:47):
agent's phone will be blowing up there and it'll be
like a Black Friday sale, And can we please get
our hands on Justin Tucker and all this stuff in
the NFL. Every time I have done a monologue saying
this guy's never gonna play in the NFL again, they
play in the NFL again, with very few exceptions. I
have very few exceptions. And it's not exactly the NFL
A boy Scout jamboree. Shout out, ray Lewis, where's the

(13:10):
light suit? Ray where's the right suit? Where is it?
Ray Ravens linebacker a statue? They like giving statues that. Well,
doesn't Justin Tucker have a statue? In Baltimore man Leonard
Little Yeah, drunk driver killed a woman. He played in
the NFL for the Saint Louis Rams Aaron Hernandez. He
had apparently if you believe the reporting at Florida in

(13:33):
college there was some cases. They alleged this on the Internet,
that he had killed people in college, played in the NFL.
And then I guess the third person you killed? I
guess they get you on that and all that, and
then Deshaun Watson in the middle. Everyone knew what he
had done. The Browns still gave him this ridonculous contract.
He didn't kill anybody though, right now, last word, So

(13:55):
another scandal to Florida we go, and this one to
a wild wild turn. So if you remember back in
February in the Bayou at Super Bowl fifty nine, the
halftime performer was arrested in Louisiana today, I guess yesterday now,

(14:18):
so this guy ran on the field, remember that horrible
halftime show with Kendrick Lamar. I was out getting snacks,
but I'm told it was that. So the guy was
waving like a free Gaza flag and you know, big
activist dude, and so state police charged him with resisting
an officer and disturbing the peace. Like four months later

(14:39):
they just like ran him. Well they're charge you. Now.
The NFL is issued a lifetime ban on all events
again you know how I feel about lack time met
The NFL does use they use nineteen eighty four technology
or wellyan technology when you go to NFL games and
your photo has saved there and they put it in
a database and all that stuff. So the NFL that

(14:59):
actually might work because the NFL security they go next level.
It is a full police state at NFL games and
it's been that way for several several years. But this
is the interesting plot twist is not that you know,
some whacked out activist got on the field during halftime
and all that. The bizarro world element here is this

(15:21):
guy and we're not naming him because he who cares,
but he alleged that he's the guy that allegedly got
shot by Antonio Brown. Remember that celebrity boxing brew haha
that led to a shooting back in May and just recently,
Antonio Brown was charged with attempted murder. There was a

(15:41):
bullet that grazed the neck of this activist and this
is the guy. Uh And so Antonio Brown claims he
fired the gun in self defense after attempting to stop
a robbery. And on social media, Antonio Brown, I'm very active.
He broke his his silence, so he's not been very silent.

(16:04):
He went on there and laid out his side of
the story. He says, this guy the NFL, just you know,
Louisiana cops arrested this guy a corner of Antonio Brown
is a fraud, liar, stalker, and criminal. I'm quoting Antonio
Brown from social media. He was arrested in twenty twenty
two for stealing six figures of jewelry from me now

(16:25):
Couriner Brown. Antonio Brown says his history with this bad
actor did not start at the super Bowl, nor even
with the recent shooting incident in Miami. So do these
new revelations Do these new revelations change things for Antonio Brown?

(16:45):
So I'm gonna nod my head yes on this. And
here's why. I Actually everything's on tape, and so you'll
just go to a bunch of cell phone and HD
cameras and say, okay, so it certainly for me, it
moves it more in Antonio's favor. Like this cat accusing
Antonio Brown appears to be a total wack adoodle, just

(17:06):
completely unhinged from what I've been reading on the internet.
So maybe, just maybe there's a silver bullet, if you
know what I mean, for Antonio Brown on this one,
and that he's not the villain, which initially it looked like,
well some of you even initially he said, well, somebody
grabbed his chain and he grabbed somebody else's gun, which
is not allowed, but he did it, and you know,
he's robbery and all that stuff. So Brown, if you

(17:28):
follow him the last how many years has it been,
like three, four, five years, Antonio Brown has turned his
post NFL playing career into a one man dinner theater
show circ du Chaos is the Life of Antonio Brown.
It's next level. And so he is facing attempted murder
charges and he's not even in the country right and

(17:52):
the alleged victim, now we know, is not exactly mister
Rogers not going to be on any child TV show
anytime soon. And so the halftime protester who took a
glazed or grazed shot from Antonio Brown. He's got a
rap sheet that reads like it's out of some kind

(18:14):
of deleted scene from Ocean's eleven. I mean, it's just
that next level and yeah, we'll see Brown says, Hey,
I was jumped and I was robbed, and I acted
in self defense. And then the argument is going to be, well,
if the guy was running away from you, you're not
in self defense and all this stuff. It's possible. Again,
it's possible for once that this is in favor of

(18:37):
Antonio Brown. Of course, for this ever to be adjudicated,
Antonio Brown has to come back to the United States.
The rumor is he's still in Dubai. I don't think
you can stay there forever. No, maybe he knows people
generally speaking, they they force you at some point to
move on and go somewhere else. Anyway, it is the

And we started with the police Blotter. Always fun talk
the police blotter, as there are three store is actually
more than three, but those we started with the Big
three if you will, that are going on right now
and many people have hot takes they would like to share.

(22:21):
Firkduck says it's hard to focus on the monologue when
you're surrounded by nothing but hot chicks like Briton, Lorena
and Robbie and Robbie the Mariner fan. He said, so,
he said, Robbie, See that's a shot at Robbie. That's
a hot chick. Well, you know, you know how many
drinks you've had. Shaneant Moynes says Jay Dot will play
for the Jazz Ace is a punk. There you go,

(22:44):
that's random. Chipping the cues rights in. He says eight
plus on the mould of monologue. I wonder just how
Antonio Brown will survive when the day finally comes, when
sports media no longer pays any attention to him. How
will this massive need to be in the spotlight be satisfied.
I think we're good. That's a good listen, Chip, he's
NFL player for a long time. People know who he is.

(23:06):
He's been charged with attempted murder. That's a that's a
big story. Yeah. Chris in des Moines writes in and
he he wants to know where Jason in Ottawa is.
When will he be tuning in. I don't think we'll
hear from Jason for some time. It's been a number
of years, and I think, you know, Jason's not walking
back into the phone system. That is not going to

(23:28):
be the case. Slim Tim from the fine state of Wisconsin,
a proud cheesehead, checks in. He says he is, He's
ready to go. He's wants to be sure he's not
noted as absence, so he's there. And Tiger Man says,
wander should be wandering around a prison yard. That's not happening,

(23:48):
Big Lou, he's on number two and he writes any
from the LBC. He says, after Diddy is exonerated or
convicted and released for time served, will all about the
Benjamin's return to the show intro? Yeah, Yeah, if he's exonerated,
why would we not bring it back? Or if he's out,

(24:08):
not in jail, and he's committed his time, he's done
his time to society.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
We are not haters.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I didn't really want to get rid of the song
in the first place. But who was upsets? Some people
were upset. There were people they were upset.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
That's it in Coop and me, Yeah, where do you
used to have that song up? Yeah, because they're innocent
until proven guilty.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Oh yeah, it used to be used to be right.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Now it's just your guilty pretty much.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
It's usually how that goes. Shannon Money also points out
he may enter, he and Kelly may enter the Talent Show,
but they will be individual acts and they will be
competing against one another. So we'll keep an eye on
That's go to the phones, though, and we'll say hello
to eeny Meenie, miney Moe. Let's say hello to Andre.
Who's in the Commonwealth. It's Andre and his dog willis Hello, Andre.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
What's going on? Ben? Thanks for taking the call. Listen.
You're talking about, you know, the police blodder in the
NFL quite active right now in terms of Justin Tucker,
NFL coming down ten games. I like it, you know,
set that precedent. You know, we're not gonna particularly in
Justin Tucker and his background. He didn't seem to have
trouble before this. It kind of seemed to come out
of nowhere, you know, but clearly Roger Goodell coming in

(25:23):
as a law and Order commissioner. So you can't go
light on one gentleman over here and be strict on
others over there.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well you could. It does happen all the time, right,
I mean, there's not it's not balance like you were
in the way the legal system is right, if you
have a lot of money, usually you can avoid going
and getting in real trouble. And if you don't have
a lot of money, you're in you're in a tougher situation.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Exactly. But Goodell, you know he's walking that fine line
because he comes in and a lot of the owners
as well as looking for him to increase the evaluation
in which he's done twenty five billion dollars and private
jet for life. So he's taking care of the money side.
But there's the perception of the NFL is out of
control of players with the conduct off the field, and
how can we kind of balance those things? And so

(26:10):
he had some some pivotal cases, Ray Rice one of them,
and then you kind of alluded to the others. So
justin Tucker, yeah, ten games. You know, if it would
have been a full season, I wouldn't have minded that.
But the question, I think the players were looking for
something strong, so you don't seem that you're giving the
benefit of doubt to somebody who didn't really seem to
be in trouble before this, and then now we get

(26:32):
to a whole lot of trouble.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
So if you do these side by side Pepsi challenge.
Deshaun Watson was suspended for eleven initially was I think
it was eleven games and he got fined five million
dollars so that was that was the watching. So Tucker's
ten games, so he guess one last game and I

(26:54):
don't think he's camp. I don't know. He was fine
because he's not under contract. So interesting, right, Yeah, it's similar.
It's similar, but not not exactly, and.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
So people can look at it and say, all right,
you know, we know, uh, you're not really favoring one
side to me. It's interesting, you know to the point
you know in the NFL, and you know you are
well in this instance, it's not a criminal case. And
we've gone back and forth, but he's gonna pay his fine.
The western is two things. He's a good kicker, but well,
you know kickers, you need to have your mojo, you
need to have that confidence. So one and fourth and

(27:25):
he didn't have it last season, so we'll he actually
get it for best. Obviously, teams are gonna need it,
you know, going down the stretch, you're going to say
we need him and we'll give him a contract. But
Deshaun Watson didn't really ever get back. I mean, Cleveland,
you know, gave him the Godfather offer and they proved,
give me this stupid money at the table, because that contract,
fully guaranteed, hasn't amounted to much of anything. So I think,

(27:46):
first of all, justin Tucker, you obviously did something wrong.
So if you were a man of principal before, you
should stand on that and take accountability and try to
be better going forward. That's what I'm looking for from him,
first of all. And then secondly, if you can do that,
will you be able to return to the NFL? I
think in conclusion, Ray Rice, you know he never was
able to get back, and he did show some contrition

(28:08):
I think, and then but he just wasn't able to recover.
So justin Tucker, you always want to give people that
second chance, but who knows. Spend summertime thanks taking it
to get back for you on Sunday, all.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Right, there he goes, it's Andre, a sermon from Andre
checking in there you go, hanging up on him. All right,
Remember Tucker, he denied the allegation. That's where I mentioned
this in the monologue a little bit, but he said
it was desperate tabloid fodder, similar to Deshaun Watson. See
remember the night the Watson story broke, there was one
accuser and he's like, oh, this didn't happen or whatever

(28:41):
he had said. I'm paraphrasing. And then and then it
was like a conga line, one after another after another.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
I just don't understand. Do they have a meeting and go, hey,
you guys ready, uh, like the massagers convention or something.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
There must be man, yeah, there's got to be like
a my gosh, I've massaged him too, the webinar situation.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
I love these juicy stories though you.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Like the massage therapist.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
I can follow them easier than when you guys talk
sports numbers. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Okay, so we don't talk We should not talk sports
and just talk about it. Massage scandals.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
I just want to scandal the Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
And but they like the women accusing Tucker, I don't
think they got paid it like Deshaun Watson just paid
all the women money. I gave him money to go away.
I don't think Tucker has done that though. I don't
think he's been cutting checks. But he got suspended. Anyway,
let's go now, here's my legal expert and a man
that knows about the criminal justice system. He used to
be in Venice, but now he's in Korea Town in LA.

twenty eight home runs six tribles through the first eighty
games of the season was the say hey kid. You
know who that is? The say hey kid? Hey? Who

your heads in shame right now. I mean, you're on

Though well, apparently not, but Willy Mays also bought one
of those lifetime tickets. I think it was American Airlines.
He flew for free the rest of his life. He
did that when he's a young man. So there you go.
Willie Mays is the answer. Who knew
