Welcome, it's our number four. Hour four is knocking on
your radio door as we go to Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Our Raiders.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
They have a defensive player. They had a defensive player
named Christian Wilkins. And Christian Wilkins having his Raider contract
voided because he refused to have surgery. What is the
core of that story? Also, your favorite secondary storyline about
the Raiders' power play is what regarding this contract stalemate?
And JJ Watt, former NFL player, is upset that social

(00:36):
media has begun to take training camp stats from practice,
not a game, not a game from practice? So seriously,
what say yet? What say you? We'll get to all
of that and much more right now. A little boom
shot a lock. I have a great Friday. Remember the

But if you don't even have time, just download it

like a couple of minutes. We'll get credit for it,
but I'd rather you listen to it anyway. Here it
is our number four. Have a great weekend. Hit the road, Jack,
get out of here. Welcome in the beginning of another

(01:20):
hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air everywhere in dreamland as we are cozy in motion,
coast coast, border to order and beyond on the vast
and dashingly powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from

(01:40):
under the covers, the covers in bed there the Fox
Sports Radio studios, as approved by Attillo and his gaba
Ghoul and also the Burner account, the official Maler Burner

professionals go to expresspros dot com. Express never charges job

I know it. I understand the economy blows. But hey,

(02:21):
listen anyway, Express never charges, so they'll hope you get
a job, make some money. Our lead this hour is
from Viva Las Vegas. We will circle back to the
death of Haul. Cogan had some compelling talk, a lot
of dudes have stories. Everyone seems to have a story
if you're middle aged or so. Even younger like Haul
Cogan kept performing. I stopped watching Halk wrestle when I

(02:44):
was how old I was it was probably a late teenager.
But he still went on and did stuff. But our
leader is in Vegas high drama in Sin City pig
skin Palooza. Now, I think this is an interesting story.
So we've learned. Now if you didn't see this, perhaps not.
The Raiders have informed Christian Wilkins, who they gave a

(03:07):
lot of money to to play football not that long ago.
They have informed Christian Wilkins that his services are no
longer needed. Fact, he might want to contact Express Employment
professionals and see if they have any oldenings. Wilkins going
to be released with the designation of terminated vest and
veteran vested veteran. What does that mean? But means the

(03:31):
Raiders are saying that Christian Wilkins is a muppet. And
if he is a muppet, which they say he is,
he's Gonzo the Muppet. And because of how Wilkins has
treated his rehab, he injured himself and got injured. That
happens in footb. I've heard the Raiders decided to void

(03:52):
the remaining thirty five point two bill thirty five point
two million in guarantee. Shekels moolah gone see you later.
That was what was left on the contract. Now, the
belief was that Wilkins, according to the Raiders, he had
to have another surgery on his foot. Butt's messed up,

(04:14):
he said, IX nay on the foot A. I ain't
doing it. So the Raiders voided the guaranteed money left
on the deal, and they designated him a failure to
maintain his physical condition to play. That's in the standard
boiler plate of every NFL contract. Rarely, once in a
blue moon does anyone actually use that. Like, there are

(04:36):
players out of shape all the time. Not many, but
there are, and teams do not use the failure to
maintain physical condition to play. So let us discuss the
question Christian Wilkins having his Raider contract voided. What is
the core of this story? So I've got Deuce Bigelow,

(04:57):
the Brady bunch and why, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna make delicious pastrami sandwiches.
I had a wonderful homemade pastrami sandwich yesterday to break
my fast. Loved it. Had some grilled onions on their
little cheese. It was wonderful, all right. Not to lead
off here, though, or to kick off, because we're talking football.

(05:19):
The Raiders are going full old school reality show. Remember
the Apprentice, You're fired. That's what they're doing, and they
want to wash their hands of this player entirely. I'm
fascinated by this because they think they can get away
with not paying the thirty five million. Now what's likely
going to happen is there will be some kind of

(05:40):
compromise and they'll have to pay some but not all
of the money. So they're saying, no more money, no
more drama, just beat it, just get out of here.
All because the Raiders wanted this guy to get an operation,
and this is where it always becomes dicey. It's such
a dicey situation because the race they wanted him to

(06:01):
have the procedure. He went out and got a second opinion.
He then went out and got a third opinion, and
probably at some point he contacted our old caller, Doc
Mike from Chicago, and he's got Doc whispering in his ear, no, no,
you just need a pineapple smoothie and then you'll be okay,
no surgery, Just rub some dirt on it, pineapple smoothie,

(06:21):
throw a little ice, are good. And so the raiders said,
screw this, and Wilkins, I don't know what's really going on.
I mean, it's it's always tough to force someone to
have an operation if they don't want to do it.
Who does that? But Wilkins treated it apparently like it
was a web md situation. You know, you go on there,
you see, Oh my god, what's going on? The raiders

(06:42):
are like, well, wait a minute. We treated this like
we paying this guy millions and millions of dollars. So
who's right? See, that's the loaded question. Who's right is
the loaded question. And let me explain why, because it
goes back to the basic question who controls your body? Like, seriously,
who controls my body? My choice? That whole thing. When

(07:03):
you sign a contract like that, when you're getting paid
for most people lottery money, for some generational money, what
you're doing is giving up control. You're essentially selling your body.
You are deuced bigelow male jiglow in cleats. That's the gag.

(07:23):
That's an old movie. But I really couldn't think of
anything else that would fit. So you're not just renting
it out on Sundays. It is like a timeshare agreement
with the body, and it's full blown body ownership by
the team. You are now an American gladiator. You're out
there right and you belong to the shield, the cartel

(07:46):
of the NFL. You're not Christian Wilkins in this case,
man of free will. You are Christian Wilkins, defensive tackle,
property of the Raiders. But not anymore, not anymore. Now, furthermore,
what is your favorite secondary storyline around the Raider power play?
Power play? What is it? What is your favorite secondary

(08:09):
storyline around the Raiders power play? So it's the Brady bunch.
It's Tom Brady who wants plausible deniability, the greatest quarterback
of all time, mister New England Patriot, who now is
the GM by proxy with Vegas. And I'm telling you
Brady's fingerprints are on this. It's all about the culture. Yeah,

(08:32):
they got Pete Carroll. Now you think Pete Carroll's behind this,
I don't think he is. This is a culture change
without boy, George. The moment you put me over, we
you're out all right. Tom Brady sent a text from
a yacht somewhere in the south of France to let
that happen. And really what Brady's doing is he's channeling

(08:54):
Mike Singletary. Can't win with a can't coach, can't do it.
I want winners, and that's what this is about. And
I'm telling it Brady, knowing the little we know about him,
he's not wired like he thinks. Wilkins quit on the
Raiders and he didn't do what he should have done.

(09:15):
He didn't do what he needed to do to help
the team out. And so now the Raiders are like, Okay,
see you later, and again not without a fight. You know,
thirty five million doesn't just disappear. There's a lot of
lawyers involved, there's arbitrators, the union is involved, and so
they'll figure things out. And when I say they're going
to figure things out, it really just comes down to

(09:37):
the case where they'll say it's not thirty five million,
but we'll retract half that or whatever it might be,
and so he'll get some money. He's not gonna get
the whole thing. That's the way it is, because he'll
have a bunch of medical experts will say, well, he
really didn't need the surgery and it was unnecessary, and
then so it was really who decides. But those arbitration things,
it's who pays the arbitrator. It's the NFL who hires

(09:59):
the art trader. It's the NFL, all right. Last thing
to the marketing machine, like the heard or scene. A
number of stories that have popped up in recent days
and recent days about NFL training camp. There are some
talk show hosts that's spend their entire shows breaking down practices.

(10:22):
That's right now. I can't wrap my head around this.
I would want to jump off a building if I
had to do that. Some people like to do it.
So I bring in now, entering the chat, a former
NFL star and current talking head JJ Watt. Now, it
turns out that JJ is unimpressed with the hype on

(10:43):
social media and sports talk radio surrounding what he called,
in his words, insane and ridiculous stats emerging from scrimmages
that have been taking place during NFL training camp over
this last couple of days. Now, J J. Watt pointed
out on social media that he was talking about some

(11:05):
of these people that have been obsessing with the numbers,
and he said, they have no idea, no idea what
the purpose of that particular period is, what the goals are,
what the context is for the stats being shared from practice.
So jj Watt reached his breaking point right. JJ Watt

(11:25):
is upset about social media has begun to take training
camp stats, you know too, seriously, social media, sports radio.
So what say you so to me on this one.
I've pushed back on a lot of the dopey stuff
jj Watt said over the years. But we are in lockstep.
I'm in the choir, the amen choir. Amen. Can I

(11:46):
get an amen? Amen? Like, we're not even into August,
We're almost in August. We're not even in August. Post
to August. I know there's an exhibition game on Thursday,
yet the stat Nerd Brigade has arrived, the stat Nerd Brigade.
They're out, they are weaponizing. There's a parade, and I
don't get it, just like I don't get spring training

(12:08):
baseball stats. They don't do that in basketball because nobody
gives a crap about the three exhibition games they play
in the NBA. But in baseball and football, it's like
these things are treated like their gospel like the Holy Grail.
And we've officially reached if you were curious, we've officially
reached the part of the NFL calendar where people are

(12:30):
now charting seven on seven completions, like it's going to
matter for the Super Bowl? Like what in the world?
Like what this is? Alan Ivers since nightmare? A world
where only not only are we talking about practice, not
a game, not a game practice, but we're breaking it

(12:52):
down with NFL film style coverage. And they put the
little clips out there. Look they look at that, Look
at that dime from Danny Dimes Daniel Jones in the
red zone with the Colts. And I'm sitting there, I'm
looking at this. I'm like, what are we supposed to
give him a cookie? Put a little gold star, a
little puffy sticker next to his name. I can have

(13:16):
a parade. I was like, what are you doing? You
just ignore? You ignore that it's against the defense that
last I checked, they're not allowed to tackle the quarterback.
That's why they wear the red jersey in practice. And
it's also the same player, the quarterback who air mailed
three previous passes before they decided to hit record on

(13:40):
the camera that happens, and you know, it's one of
these things. Always the case, right, And it's like when
you get video in a criminal case and they say, okay,
here's the video. This is the part where the crime
was committed, and they always say, well, what happened before that,
what happened after that? Well we don't have that video,
but we need that kind of tell the full story.
If it doesn't fit the narrative, you don't get the clicks,

(14:04):
you don't get that. It's not just annoying, it is insulting. Right.
You got guys in the media rooms charting every throw
like they're essentially putting heat maps together with AI. They've
got the bot army on social media that is just
repackaging this and like it matters. And I'm like, again,

(14:28):
maybe I'm the bad guy. It might be like I'm like,
who cares? I love football. The last couple of years,
I've been lucky enough to do a gambling NFL TV show,
which is great and I love it. I don't give
a you know what about practice statistics and the people
that do It'm like, are these real people? I mean,

(14:49):
just like part of the I know it's all the
matrix and all that stuff. And maybe it's the simulations
like go ahead and touch some grass or something like that.
Like this is what the football discourse has become. It's
not who's gonna make the roster, who's hurt, who looks sharp,
it's camp stats in seven on seven and I want

(15:13):
to puke in my mouth when I see that and
hear about it. It's just unbearable. It's absolutely unbearable, is
what it is. Now. This is the Ben Mahlor Show.
As we work our way through the overnight and later
this hour we will have Sports Jeopardy. I know it's exciting.

(15:37):

back to what we go as we work our way
through the overnight. My board is being reset. We will
go to the calls in a moment. In a moment,
did want to point out that there's a couple of
stories I saw that I'm gonna save them for the

(19:16):
upcoming momentarily Coopscub Entertainment. Also, Ryan Helsley relief picture for
the Saint Louis Cardinals. He's now he probably who cares
about a picture for the cardinal. He's going to be traded.
He was asked what are the chances that you get
traded from Saint Louis and he said I would say

(19:36):
ninety percent, ten percent that I say I stay, ninety
percent that I go. He claimed there was that also.
I didn't do a monologue on this because I was like,
come on, we're gonna do so many cowboy monologues, Dak
Prescott saying that the true effing motivation is winning the

(19:56):
Super Bowl. For a guy to say that, you would think, hey,
maybe you might play better in playoff games because you
suck in almost every playoff game, even terrible. But who
am I? What do I know? And I saw George
Pickens said that joining Ceedee Lamb on the Cowboys, George
Pickens claim is like Mario Brothers. He said, Mario Brothers. Yeah,

(20:19):

wacky wacky? All right, what do we have you? Let's see.
