Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka Laca. It's our number four, our number four,
and we have the end of a long standing brew haha.
And who decided the winner? Who is the winner? Who
ends up winning the stand up? It is the Ben
mal Show, our four who ends up winning the standoff?

(00:20):
Between Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals as he agreed to
a deal for this season, a little more money and
four hundred and sixty four pound defensive tangle. Desmond Watson,
former Florida Gator, has been fired by the Buccaneers. Your
thoughts on this developing story, and we'll go to college
football as well. What does Ohio State banning barstool commentator

(00:42):
David Portnoy? Dave Portnoy banned from Ohio State's first game.
He's not allowed to step foot in their stadium Week one.
He's working for Fox. Now, what does that signify to you?
We'll go there as well. Here it is our number four.
Have a wonderful Tuesday here, twenty sixth day of August.
Here it is a Bengal bonanza. Well, by Bengal standards,

(01:09):
it's a bonanza. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of The Ben Mather Show. We are in the air.
Everywhares we unwind and we served that jive Turkey. I
was driving on Vegas and there was a restaurant called
jive Turkey in the Giant No No, but it was interesting.

(01:32):
I was like, that's an old term, but yeah, right there.
But we are hanging out on the one and only
powerful microphones, the ferociously power for microphones of Fox Sports Radio,
emmanating live. We're live from the box. What's in the box?
We're in the penalty box from the world famous Fox

(01:54):
Sports Radio Studios. As approved by the Green Bay Gobbler
Gobble Gobba Gobble. The Green Bay Gobbler approves that message
and this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox
made possible by our friends at Express Employment Professional. Is
it time for a new job? You're nodding your head yet,
It's time for Express Employment Professionals quin the endless online

(02:14):
job search. You list the pros and Express never charges
job seekers if he go to expresspros dot com. So
our lead this hour is from Cincinnati. The Bengals have
found a solution. They got together with Trey Hendrickson and
just like Dante and Vegas, they smoked the peace pipe.

(02:37):
They got together, they smoked the peace pipe. If you
have not heard by now, somehow you've been in some
alternative universe and not paying attention to this stuff. Maybe
not the all pro edge Russer, the demand that everyone wanted.
Trey Henderson and the Cincinnati football team have agreed to
a new one year revised contract that will end his

(03:00):
much publicized hold in not hold out hold in. So
if you're keeping score, there were three players that were
high profile that were demanding more money. You had Terry
McLaurin in Washington and he got the extension. You had
Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati and he had a revised contract.

(03:24):
And then you had Micah Parsons. Let's see anything with
Michael Let me check here. Bumpkis for Micah Parsons. But
we're talking about Trey Henderson. Stay on the topic, please,
all right, get to the point. All right. So here's
the point. So Hendrickson will receive a fourteen million dollar
bumpity bump in pay for this season, and that'll increase

(03:45):
his salary to thirty million. So he's buying dinner thirty
million dollars. He is also eligible in theory to become
an unrestricted free agent at the end of the twenty
twenty five season, which will end in the month of February.
The playoffs end in February of twenty twenty six. So
let us discuss the question who ends up winning this

(04:07):
standoff between Trey Who ended up winning this standup? It's
not over now, but who ended up winning the standoff
between Trey Hendrickson and the ben Gals. So I've got
pet Smart, Carnival, cruise lines, and Streisan and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
make the Baba Ganoosh just like just like your one

(04:32):
and only, your one and only Babushka. Anyway, to lead
off here, these scales are leading heavily on who won
this And believe it or not, it's not the Bengals
unless it is, see it is the it's a lot
of peoples. Well, Trey Hendrickson won because he got more money.

(04:54):
This is one of those classic Bizarro NFL deals where
the the Bengals essentially bought themselves out of a bad
situation for pennies on the dollar whatever. They paid an
extra fourteen million dollars, but they didn't give Trey Hendrickson
the extension that he wanted, that his heart desired. I

(05:15):
didn't give him the years that he wanted, the full
amount of money that he wanted. And they said, the
Bengals they didn't want to pay Trey Hendrickson into his
mid thirties. And they sure as hell did not do that.
They didn't. They didn't want to tear up the deal.
They didn't do that either. So what did they do

(05:36):
after a thorough minutes long review of the Trey Hendrickson contract.
What they did is they went down to PetSmart and
they bought Trey Hendrickson some dog bones, is what they did.
They went down to pet Smart, bought some dog bones,
and they're like, all right, here's your fourteen million dollar
bumpety bump. Now shut up and go sack the quarterback.

(05:56):
We're gonna throw a bone out near the quarterback. Go
out there and sack the quarterback. And the Bengals on
my scorecard, on the Malard scorecard, they came out way
ahead with Trey Hendrickson on this one. They don't have
to commit to him long term. They don't have to
break the bank because even by Bengal standards, an extra
fourteen million dollars. They had that money nothing, and so

(06:20):
in theory, they could let him walk at the end
of the year. That's where things get interesting, right, you say, well,
mission accomplished, mission accomplished and all that, But what's Trey
Hendrickson getting here? So he gets a raise? All right, congratulations,
I haven't gotten a raise in years, so good for
him getting a raised. And he missed the entire offseason,

(06:43):
all the workouts, all the training camps. So in theory,
he's going to be rusty. So that means he's going
to be more prone Trey Hendrickson to injury. And then
he's going to go to market at age thirty one,
and he'll test his wares at the market. Can't see
if anybody in the marketplace wants to pay more money. Now,
if Henderson goes out and just balls and has an

(07:07):
amazing goes big balls Bob from Vegas and just goes big,
has a massive year there in Cincinnati, then the Bengals
can say psych head fake, head fake, and give him
the franchise tag. The revised contract, we are told, does
not have a no tag clause, meaning that if Hendrickson

(07:28):
is playing as an all Pro this season, stays healthy
and leads the Bengals defense yet again Cincinnati. It would
cost the Bengals from what I read, it would cost
him thirty six million dollars to tag Trey Hendrickson in
twenty twenty six. But that would be a one year deal,
and for the Bengals, that's perfect year to year. It

(07:50):
wouldn't kill the finances. It might hurt the petty cash
for the Brown family, but so be it all? Right Now, furthermore,
we go to Tampa. Now, I'm going to tell you
right now, I'm gonna tell you right now, this is
a story that I'm the only one that cares about
this story. But I've got the talk show, and so
I care about the stories. So I'm going to talk
about it. The man who is going to be the

(08:13):
heaviest player, the fattest player in NFL history, is likely
never going to get the opportunity to play in the NFL.
Is it true that four hundred and sixty four pound
defensive tackle Desmond Watson has been fired by the Buccaneers.

(08:40):
I'm nodding my head, yess. So your thoughts on that
this is a bummer capital be bummer capital be as
Anfisian NATO of the fat athlete. This is a body blow,
body blow, body blow. It is Watson. Now, he wasn't

(09:00):
undrafted free agent. When you're an undrafted free agent, you're
not supposed to make the team. I get all that
coming out of Florida. Man, did I love this story? Right?
The thing about this is he never even made it
into an NFL practice. It's very it's a very weird
story because he was pretty productive when he played for
the Florida Gators. Too fat for NFL teams, so they

(09:23):
didn't draft him. Yet he moves like someone who's one
hundred and fifty pounds lighter than his listed weight, and
yet as an undrafted free agent out of Florida, he
didn't get the practice. Four hundred and sixty four pounds.
That is, by the way, almost a quarter of a ton.
A ton is two thousand pounds, so he was just

(09:44):
a little bit below a quarter of a ton. And
that is a carnival cruise line in construction with shoulder
pads like that old old line David Letterman used to have.
There was a picture for the Atlanta Braves and he
he nicknamed him the big fat Tubago back in the
day and it's a real life porky pig, is what

(10:08):
it is. And as a charter member, as a charter
member of the FAFC, do you know what the FAFC is.
That's the Fat Athlete Fan Club FAFC. We appreciate obese
athletes and we just lost our poster boy. We did.
This is our guy, that's it, and we might have

(10:28):
to disband the Fat Athlete Fan Club the FAFC. Watson
did not play a down, He didn't practice, as we said,
he didn't get a single practice in because he was
too fat. The highlight tape of Watson as an NFL
player is him standing on the sideline breathing. That is

(10:49):
the highlight tape of his time with Tampa Bay. What
kills me about this. We live in the age of
the quick fix. We live in the age of if
you are really motivated and you have the means and
you want to do it, you can lose weight even
being pretty lazy. Call those zempi right. So you're telling

(11:13):
me that the Bucks said, well, we were not going
to do this, or maybe they didn't have enough time. Man,
that's possible be signed to the practice squad. It's practice practice.
But if I'm a team like the Rams, I'd be like,
I'm gonna grab this guy and I'm gonna get him
on some weight loss and get him the needle, give
him the weight loss shots, and or just embrace the

(11:34):
fact that he plays football like he's Austin Powers, fat
bastard and just to have him, you know, get in
my bedlet when he's playing defense and he can he
can tackle the quarterback or the running back, or get
it into my bedlet. Last thing to college football we
go now. College football had a soft launch this weekend,

(11:56):
which was kind of a dud unless you bet on
Hawaii to upset Stanford. But anyway, I was reading the
newly minted The newly minted Fox barstool college Football partnership
is already off to a rocky start. Did you see this? No, Now,
the very first week the Big Game on Fox is

(12:18):
the game everyone's a yapp And about Texas and Ohio State.
You havet the Heisman leader to begin the season, arch
Manning going against the big bad champion buck Eyes and
the powerhouse of Ohio State. Will arch Manning dot the
I or will Ohio State send him back to Austin
in cheers. Inquiring minds want to know. Well, it turns

(12:42):
out in the very first week Dave Portnoy his run
on Fox's Big noon Kickoff, he will not be at
the Ohio State Texas game. You see, he has been banned.
Ohio State, we are told, is barring the Michigan Man,

(13:05):
well not really a Michigan man, but Dave Portnoy, a
proud Michigan fan and booster and troll of Ohio State.
So we are told that he has been banned from
attending the buck Guys stadium, not allowed to go in
there the old horseshoe. Can I do it? And so

(13:26):
that's the story. That's the story. And so Portnoy is
a Michigan grad and has been well known if you're
on the social networks, for busting the balls the buck
Eyes and especially head coach Ryan Day, going on and
on about Ryan Day. And he's ratcheted up the rhetoric
and all that stuff for several years as the Wolverines

(13:49):
have dominated the buck Eyes in the rivalry game. So
question for the esteem panel, what does Ohio State banning
David Portnoy from stepping foot in their stadium for the
big kickoff game this weekend. What does that signify to you?
All Right, so I'm gonna go first. You can call

(14:11):
him later, but I'm gonna go first. This is one
of the dumbest decisions that you could possibly make. Who
the hell's in charge over at Ohio State? Seriously, who's
the one that made the final edit that this was
a good idea? This is a classic overreaction, Like they've

(14:33):
taken a guy who's already got a following right the
barstool crowd and basically strapped a rocket to him. This
is known by many as the Streisan effect. Just google it,
but they do teach you day number one, day number

(14:54):
one when you're in the media world that if you
try to bury something, if you try to bury a story,
you end up making that story bigger. There's a phrase
to cover up is worse than the crime. That's a
legal term. But in media, when you like during COVID,
right when they were feeding us a bunch of bull
crap that turned out to be a bunch of lies,

(15:16):
and then people there were some people that said that's
a lie. There's other people that believe anything they're told, right,
But that was the Streisan effect. There were people that
were searching for the truth. They knew they were not
getting the truth from big media, and so they went
on the offensive. Now, obviously this is much different, this
is about a college football game and all that, but
nonetheless it's a really really bad look if you're Ohio State,

(15:39):
like you're the big bad buck Eyes, one of the biggest,
baddest programs in the entire country, and you can't handle
a loud mouthed social media troll who went to Michigan
really like just his very presence in the stadium would
not pass the test, like what are we doing? It

(16:02):
is such a bad look. It's pathetic. And as for
the media bias, because people are, wow, you went to
he went to Michigan. Portnoy didn't the number one college
football commentator in the land, Kirk Kirk Street. Didn't he
play quarterback at Ohio State, Like not, Well, but he
went to Ohio State and he's on all the big

(16:23):
games in the booth. Well he's he's not biased. Well,
a lot of people that watch him when he does
an Ohio State game say he is biased. He tries
not to be, but they say, well he's biased. So
I say these things even out if I'm advising as
a pr person and I'm advising the buck Eyes. They
should let Portnoy, let him in, Let him in and

(16:48):
every time Ohio State scores a touchdown and runs it up,
if they end up beating Texas and you know, put
him on the scoreboard, embarrass him, goof on him, do
all that stuff. The would actually be funny, that would
be amusing. But the fact that they chose this road.
They were to fork in the road Ohio State, and
this is the road they took instead. Now they've made

(17:11):
him David Portnoy's some kind of outlaw figure from the
Old West. You know, Oh boy, Davy Boy over there,
Davy Boy Band from the Horseshoe Band. He's that powerful band. Seriously,
like you just poured gasoline on the troll. Fire burn, baby,

(17:36):
burn is what you have done and all they've done
and they don't realize apparently they're a twos over there.
I guess the old in Ohio State also stands for
a twos. They just validated him, like grow a pair
if you're if you're the Buckeyes, get some hair on
your chest, Like what are you doing? It's embarrassing. It

(17:57):
is the ban Mallor Show. If you'd like to comment

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Right, hold on sake, stop you talking. No one's listening.
I want to thank Jeff from Bristolville, Ohio. I think
that Jeff from Bristol Blie. So the other day I
had said that I had one hat that I had
lost when I've moved a couple of times over the years,
and it was like the ugliest hat that I could

(25:29):
possibly have. And he is he has replaced the hat.
Do you see this? Yeah, Like I just said this
the other day, right, it was a couple of days
ago I said this, and Jeff immediately, this is awesome.
Me open this up here. There's a lot of are
you're going to switch out your hats right now? I'm
not going to be that he did. But this is
the I'll wear this tomorrow. This will be my tomorrow hat.
And this is the ugliest logo in the NFL. It's

(25:51):
the Cleveland brown It's the Cleveland Browns mascot. I remember
when you had that, Remember that I loved this hat.
I used to wear this hat a lot because I
was one year voter to Browns fan. Do you care
about this at all? Michael Leprecaun and Charlie hung up.
I guess he doesn't care, so I screwed Charlie. But
Michael Leprechaun, are you excited that I have? And this
is like the Browns Leprechaun. Isn't this the Browns? It
looks like a Leprechaunt the one you the one you

(26:13):
had was a brown hat though right, well, no it was.
It was part of it was orange, part of it
was round. This is all orange so I could also
And again I want to thank our buddy Jeff there
from Bristolville, Ohio, because I can now work, Like if
I work on the streets at night, I can wear this. Right,
you will not get hit. I will not get hit

(26:33):
if I'm working kept if I'm working on the highways,
I'd be good on that. If any kind of construction job,
I can wear this. It's very safe. People you're croud
could easily find you. That is very kind of you, Jeff,
thank you. And Jeff didn't send me an email or
and he just sent the hat. He's just like, hey like,
and there's no I'm looking, there's no note in the box.
It's just an act of kindness. So that's very that's

(26:54):
very cool. And you know I have a hat collection
that this is a big hat week because Tree was
in here yesterday and Tree gave us two hats. That's
that's a three hat week. They got to the last
time I got that many hats was during the pandemic

about marble racing. So they just like bought us like
hats and stuff, kind of like what you get every day, Lorraine.

Yeah, Well, I follow you on a bunch of different platforms.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
And thank you.

Speaker 8 (32:14):
Well, basically, my my buddy was the quarterback for the Hawkeyes.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Oh yeah, how many years ago?

Speaker 8 (32:23):
A long time ago?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Old was he was? He good?

Speaker 8 (32:29):
Yeah, he went to the Roose Bowl. Nice Rogers, Jimmy
Rogers son. Oh cool, Celtics.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Oh nice, I know Jimmy Rogers from the Celtics. Yeah,
that's awesome, that's cool.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
Yeah, his son was the quarterback for the Iowa.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
I look, get that. It's a small world. After all,
it's a small ride.

Speaker 8 (32:47):
He's from my hometown, volpol where I used to grow.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh that's cool, very cool.

Speaker 8 (32:51):
But anyways, the Red Sox, look, they're they're on fire.
You know, it's just it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
As long as you can play the Yankees and you
set that up in the playoffs, Chris, can you play?
Of course? You know what happens. You're an old time
baseball fan. You know what happens. When you beat and
you bash and bludgeing a team during the regular season
and then you play him in the playoffs. What usually
happens you lose to the team. Unless you're the Twins
against the Yankees, then that that doesn't work. But everything
are the Yankees who beat the twins of the regular season,

(33:21):
then the plus. But yeah, the Red Socks look great
against the Yankees.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
And yeah, well they look good against everybody right now.
They're doing well, and I'm happy for him. And basically,
you know what, even if it doesn't work out, I'm
just happy that they're competitive and they're doing well.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
The bar is that low. I gotta tell you that,
Roman Anthony, that guy's a total stud. That guy is.
He's living up to the hype. He's, as you know,
a prospect is a suspect until proven wise, And dare
I say I like that guy. I think that guy's
gonna be right. He's gonna be one of those guys
that plays with the Red Sox for ten years and
then he'll get upset and demand too much money and
they'll trade with the Dodgers. But he'll be there for

(34:01):
a while till they till they get upset.

Speaker 7 (34:03):
You know.

Speaker 8 (34:04):
I think you're right with that. Yeah, because that's what
we did. We send everybody that Dodge.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I have noticed that, right, there's a kid. There's a
connection between the Red Sox and Dodgers Like this goes
back like fifteen years at least, maybe longer than that.

Speaker 8 (34:16):
No, I know, you know, I'd love Tommy Lasoda back
in the day and was great and then whatever gives
with the Tigers so.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Well, but he was. He's two famous home runs eighty
four World Series and eighty eight World Series with the Dodge.
Eighty four the Tigers and eighty eight with the Dodgers,
and then he play and then he played with the
Royals and the Pirates at the end of his career.
