Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Holy cow, it's our number two, our number two, and
we are ready for you. I know it's wild. So
here in hour number two, Yankee play by play announcer
Michael Kay calling out the Bronx Bomber Diehards for rhythmically
chanting a negative thing towards a New York Mets player

(00:22):
who used to be on the Yankees. Is Mike Okay
right to call out the Yankee diehards or is he
completely out of touch with the real fan and what
they sound like. Also, Red Sox first baseman Wilson Contreras says,
next time the Brewers hit him, he's going to take
one of them out. Does this sound like a guy
who wants accountability or a guy who just wants attention?

(00:44):
And to the NFL, is Steelers defensive end edge rusher TJ.
Watt the NFL's most overrated, overpaid superstar or is this
the worst take of the twenty twenty six off season.
We'll talk about all of those things and more right
now as we hitch a ride in our number two

(01:09):
triggered by the chant welcome In the beginning of another
hour of The Ben Mahlor Show, we are in the air.
Ev rewhere ordinary people as we make crazy good burgers

from baseball, and then we had a Donnybrook in Anaheim.
More on that later. We'll have blow by blow fight
coverage as the Atlanta Braves and the Angels. They went

(04:06):
at it. I think even Tommy and Atlanta got some
punches in there. And if I'm not mistaken, our buddy,
the toughest listener in the history of the show, the
coolest story, the man that got eaten by the alligator.
He went out there. He got some punches in. But
our lead this hour is from the Bronx. We'll get
to that later. We start out in the Bronx. We
had a brew ha ha involving rhythmic chanting. Say what, Yeah,

(04:32):
we gore to the zoo. The Bronx Zoo is where
we go now. If you didn't hear, perhaps not the
longtime play by playboys of the New York Yankees, Michael
Kay scolding scolding the hometown Yankee fans for rhythmically chanting
F one so to, f one so too. Although they

(04:55):
didn't say f I don't know what other words. There's
a lot of fun. Did they say fun Juan Soto
or fudge Juan Soto, something like that. So there was
some rhythmic chanting there during the recent game, which is
great because Wan so To plays for the Mets, not
the Yankees, and the Yankees weren't playing the Mets. So

(05:16):
kay went on a rant. He said, shame on all
of you, all of you people, he questioned the fan behavior.
So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question. Is long time, long time play by
play voice Michael kay right to shame the diehards or

(05:40):
is he completely out of touch, completely out of touch
with the real fan and what they sound like. So
my observations, I've got Hall Monitor Princely and Hannibal Lecter,
and we will combine all of these things together. We're
gonna make a soup. Now, We're not gonna make a

(06:01):
French onion or a chicken soup or a Matza ball.
So we're gonna make an alphabet soup. Is what we're
gonna make, which is close to what Marcel likes, which
is just spaghettios, which is just the O. But this
is all the other letters, all right, So number, I
said number. This is what's known as an FO situation,

(06:22):
fake outrage, suah, fake outrage, completely manufactured. Now Kaye knows
exactly exactly what that building sounds like. He's been calling
Yankee games for many, many years. He was a writer,
I believe for the New York Post believe it or not,
before he got into radio and then eventually television, and
so now suddenly I'm offendered. No, I am offended by this. Please,

(06:44):
total fraud energy, Total fraud energy. He's up there scolding
the Yankee fan like he's the pope of the Bronx.
Spoiler alert, spoiler alert, You're not the hall monitor at
Yankee Stadium, You're not, so stop. Meanwhile, this is the
part of the story which you can't get past. He's

(07:04):
on the Yankees payroll, cashing checks from the Steinbrenner family.
So that is corporate pr and a lot of you
ignore it. Everyone kind of ignores it. I'm not going
to ignore it. And you're policing a chant it's a
who Care's a bunch of drunk people chanting. Who cares?

(07:27):
And it since when did Yankee Stadium become some kind
of yoga retreat. You can't do that. What are you doing?
Oh my gotta stop. And one Sodo the reason that
some of the natives are restless. There is one Sodo
played for the Yankees very briefly. He clearly didn't have
a problem playing in New York. He just went a

(07:49):
few miles away from the Bronx down to Queens and said,
that's it. That's what I'm gonna do. And he picked
the Mets over the Yankees, which is an act of malfeasance.
And so the fans are still ticked in. Also, it's
more likely than not they were just bored futs around.
All right, we'll start chanting. All right, they started chanting,

(08:09):
and so it's not a library, it's Yankee Stadium, Okay,
So don't blame the customers. I thought it was hilarious.
And if I'm Wan Soto, I'm like, that's the coolest
thing in the world. Like I matter so much. These
idiots are chanting in my name. See Ultimate Badge of
Honors what that is. And so you hold the right

(08:30):
people accountable if you want. The Yankees, even though they
spend a fair amount of money, it ain't your daddy's Yankees,
that's for sure. It ain't the old man Steinbrenner. The kid,
the sequel is not the equal. They're these Steinbrenner kids
have not continued the tradition of Yankee baseball the way
it had been. Now meanwhile, we have another kerfluffle in baseball.
We go to Boston. A developing story here, red Sox

(08:55):
did something they don't normally do. They won their game
on Tuesday night. So that's where for the Red Sox
to win and beat the brew Crew. But in that series,
Red Sox first basement longtime catcher turn first baseman Wilson
Contreras is the headline. He has been bouncing around the
baseball world here, so Wilson Contreras says that he is
ready to take matters into his own hands. This is

(09:17):
after he got hit the other night by Brandon Woodruff
of the brew Crew. Contreras has been hit one hundred
and thirty one times in his big league career, twenty
four of those by Milwaukee and six of them by
Brandon Woodruff. So six of the twenty four in his career,
and no other team has plunked him. Contrera's of the

(09:41):
Red Sox now more than fourteen times. Now, keep in
mind he played for the Cubs and the Cardinals in
the division. So you play the Brewers quite a bit.
You play the Brewers a ton because you're in the division.
You play everyone in the division more than anyone else. Now,
the money quote, the reason this story still has legs
can you tell me what I will tell you. Thanks
for asking. The reason it still has legs is because

(10:03):
of the quote, and the mother of all quotes. You
very rarely get this kind of quote unfiltered. So Wilson
Contreras said, the other day, they always say, talking about
the Brewers, I'm not trying to hit you. That gets old.
That gets old. So next time they hit me again,
Contrera said, I'm going to take one of them out.

(10:26):
That's a message, close quote. I'm going to take one
of them out. That is great, all right, So question
for the panel, Red Sox first baseman Wilson Contreras saying
that next time, next time the Brewers hit him, he's
going to take one of them out. Does this sound

(10:46):
like a guy? Does this sound like a guy who
is demanding accountability or a guy who wants attention. So,
as the unlicensed doctor, the wack a doodle doctor, if
you will, much like Doc Mike Quackery Quackery unlicensed doctor

(11:08):
of sports radio, I have diagnosed Wilson Contreras of the
Red Sox here with a chronic case of fake tough
guy syndrome. Fake tough guy syndrome. So I recommend go
down to the pharmacy. Go down to Walgreens and your
prescription will be waiting for you there. Take some of
those antibiotics, take about three to four days to get

(11:32):
that completely out of your system. There, Contreras, his inter
monologue spilled out into the real world, and he said
that it sounded like he thinks he's auditioning for a
remake reboot of Slapshot, or he wants to be a
nineteen nineties NHL goon ty DOMI from back in the

(11:54):
day in hockey. He wants to be that guy or
Stu Grimson, who I used to deal with when he
was on the Mighty Ducks at the end of his career.
There the great. He wrote kids books, children's books, and
he was like the Goon and the Ducks back when
they had goons and all that stuff. So anyway, the
reality is that Wilson Contreros is just kind of a
nondescript MLB player, not very memorable, made some all star teams,

(12:19):
not somebody that is a household name or any of that.
And so again, go down and get your medicine. Get
your medicine. Now, get your medicine. And it's not the
nineties anymore. It is at tension seeking, though obviously wrapped
in some kind of EyeBlack. There the faux vigilante justice

(12:39):
and I would also like to address, and this is
one of the reasons I think this is so ridiculous.
Let's address the snuffleufogus in the room. Now, what is
the snuffle loo fogus in the room? You ask, well,
I will tell you it's inside the batter's box. Now,
if you've ever watched Wilson Contreras and you've actually paid attention,
good for you. You're better than me. But I went
back on. I watched some of the clips and looked

(13:01):
at the scouting report. Wilson Contrero's is noted as a crowder.
He does not give you your space. He crowds home plate
like he's going to buy a television at Best Buy
on Black Friday. He's really up against the door trying
to get in there and run to get the television.
He wants the TV. And so when you lean in,

(13:22):
this is my experience, And what do I know. I
just do the Overnight Show. But my experience is a
baseball player, when you lean in, you hover right over
the plate. When you do that, you are flirting with danger,
stranger danger. The baseball is a stranger and it provides danger.
So there's that. You're basically juggling hand gradades, acting shocked.

(13:42):
When one goes kaboom, You're like, I can't believe it.
What kaboom? What's up with that? And so this is
what's known as for Wilson Contreras the Red Sox, princely behavior,
princely behavior, or go the prince of paranoia, a ridiculous reaction,
a ridiculous overreaction. You want accountability, what's in the box?

(14:06):
Stay in the box and all that, and just take
your base and move on. And there you go, and
Don Baylor is rolling over in his grave, the man
that was the gold standard for getting hit by pitches
and all that. Occasionally we'll just catch the pitch was
thrown at him and just catch it and that's it.
But if you want accountability, you can just stay in

(14:27):
the box. And this just sounds like to me, it's
it's all barkff and no bite. That's that's it, all right.
We do our own special effects around here. Now to
Pittsburg we go. Let's pivot to the NFL. To the NFL.
As we are waiting the draft. Don't forget not only

(14:48):
NFL Draft weekend, but the first ever Mallard meet and
greet in the Cincinnati area, the Greater Cincinnati area. A
venue will be announced, will be announced, likely tomorrow, likely
tomorrow will announce the venue. So you're gonna want to
keep listening for that, and I'll definitely get into it
on the Fifth Hour podcast on Friday, once we get
everything all lined up on that. But this is about

(15:10):
not about that. This is about the Steelers. The NFL
Draft is in Pittsburgh, the Steelers who are dependent on
their defense because their offense has been mid for many,
many years. So TJ. Watt, who is the anchor? Yeah, yeah,
you'd go back in the old days, you'd go to
the shopping mall. You had to have those anchor tenants,

(15:31):
and then you had a bunch of smaller stores, but
you had the anchor tenants. So in the Pittsburgh defense, TJ.
Watt is like Sears Roebuck back in the day, like
a big, big box store that's not really around anymore.
It's that kind of thing. So he's the anchor of
their defensive identity and his performance obviously very important. However,

(15:52):
things have gone sideways. They've gone sideways of late as
a result. TJ. Watt recently taking on some shrapnel, as
he has been labeled, if not the biggest, he is
certainly one of the NFL's most overpaid players, most overpaid players.
So question is is Steelers defensive ENDTJ. Watt the NFL's

(16:16):
most overrated and overpaid superstar or is this the worst
take of the offseason with a winking a nod to
Mike Rabel doing the backstroke in the pool with Diana Russini.
All right, So again, is Steelers defensive end TJ. Watt
the most overrated superstar and overpaid superstar? Or is this

(16:41):
just a really bad take. So we put this into
the Malord fib finder. Now you cannot buy this. It's outlawed.
We have got we got one grandfathered in the Mallard
fib finder. So if you look at the Mallard fib
finder on this one and you read the screen on
that and it says right there you can see the

(17:01):
hand is pointing on the Malar fipfinder, not worst take.
No lies detected is what it says here. It's just
no lies detected. That yes, overrated, overpaid based on production.
That is all accurate analysis for TJ. Watt, And that's
just the way it is here. The Steelers gave him

(17:24):
after a wine fest, which all the standard these guys complain.
And so the Steelers gave TJ. Watt hedge fund money.
They said, oh, we'll give you a hedge fund money.
They handed out a three year, one hundred and twenty
three million dollar extens You might remember this couple years ago.
So they gained the money. And what did they get
so far? They have gotten Hannibal Lecter. That's not a

(17:46):
compliment if you remember the iconic silence of the Lambs.
They got the muzzle. As Watt has been muzzled in
recent years by opposing teams and his incompetence, if you will,
and we're talking about a guy who has literally vanished
in terms of domination. It does not exist. He's like

(18:07):
in the witness Protection program and all that. Entering his
age thirty two age thirty two season, his sack numbers
have done the dipsy do how low can you go? There?
So they've gone down, they've plummeted into the abyss and
as they say, on the street, the floor of Wall Street,

(18:27):
they say, do not try to catch a falling star.
Do not try to catch a falling star. And he
isn't even in the same area code, let alone the
same zip code of a forty plus million dollars a
year ballplayer. He hasn't been that guy. You're not that guy. Pal,
You're not that guy. So don't step into a puddle
that's actually a sinkle. And the Steelers at this point

(18:50):
with Watt, have stepped into the puddle. It turns out
so far it's been a sinkle. And if you look
at the comps, very unlikely that Watt is we'd have
a magic turnaround as he is now heading into the
final year of his athletic prime. It is the Ben
Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part, you can

(19:10):
join us right now. And there's a line open and
a hot talk last star about Mike Rabel, big tabloid
story New York Post Rabel and Sedona, Arizona with an
NFL inside You talk about getting to the inside part
of the story. Diana Russini Sho'll even go to a
pool in Sedona, Arizona, get the scoop that is some
major scoop it and have breakfast and a bungalow and

(19:32):
my god, that's great reporting. We talked about that a lot,
and we'll get back to that if you want. Eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven nine

shot at his manager. That doesn't happen all the time.
We'll get to all of that, and we will do
it next.

comments can and we'll be used against you in the
court of the Back to it all, right, back to

(22:05):
it we go. Coming up in a little bit. MLB
star who is likely to be traded takes a shot
at his manager. And I don't know who's enjoying this
more than me. The I wanted to mention this before
we read some goofy comments on X and All that
the Los Angeles Lakers are crumbling. It is so enjoyable.

(22:29):
Holy crap, man, is this fun. This is the most
fun I've had since the period of time when the
Lakers had when Kobe. They were bad the last year
a couple years with Kobe, but then when he left
and they were just tanking and they kept getting the
number two pick, and those guys weren't all that good. Yeah.
So the Lakers played the NBA leading Thunder and they

(22:52):
lost one twenty three to eighty seven. They were playing
the game at home. At home, someone named Isaiah Joe
hit six three pointers. That's a guy with two first names,
Isaiah Joe hit sixty three pointers and the the Oklahoma
City Thunder. The Oklahoma City Thunder when they sweep the

(23:15):
season series and Lakers with their six straight win eighteen
wins in the last nineteen games. Overall, The story here, though,
is the head coach. I'd say he's the head podcaster
JJ Reddick, who we knew was in over his head
when he got the job. He's not a very good coach,
and I think most people know Ball know he's not

(23:35):
a very good coach. And if anything, he's a front runner,
right he's a front runner. Well, when do you really
need coaching if you believe there's any and I'm skeptical
as anyway, but if you believe there's really something there
in coaching in the NBA, you need that when things
are not going well. So things are definitely not going
well for the Lakers right now. Right they sucked. And

(23:56):
when you lose your top players, you can be competitive,
can scratch and claw, and you have to have some fight.
You have to have some dog, and you gotta have
some dog. No cats. I need dogs. You need that,
and the Lakers don't appear to have a lot of that.
And JJ Reddick is losing his might and it's so
freaking enjoyable. He called out three Laker players, and I

(24:19):
love it. I love it. I love it, I love it,
I love it. This very rarely happens that a coach
will call out players. They usually give cliches and all that.
So JJ Reddick called out one of the players who
actually two of them were starters. Two of them were starters,
one of them was a backup. What do we have

(24:43):
the audio? Okay, all right, so Reddick called out, I'll
give you the names of the players. He called out
uh Ruy Hatchamora, who's in the starting lineup. DeAndre Ayton
called him, I can actually say, I'll send you this
clip here.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I was like, let me send this to Coop here
and then we can play We'll play the audio here.
Send I'm gonna click on this. Oh no, I see
I clicked the right I clicked the wrong thing. I'm
gonna click on this. I'm gonna send this over to Coop.
You listen to our live coverage as I attempt in
real time to send the sound bite over. So yeah,
JJ Reddick called out Hachamra, Jared Vanderbilt, and DeAndre Ayton.

(25:18):
That's that's a three for one special. Do we have
the audio? I think we might have that all r
Let's go to the auto tape. Here's an NBA head
coach calling out three of his players. Take a list.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
You know, I just called the early time out because
Ruy didn't do his job and so took him out
of the game. I'm not We've got to get We
got to find nine guys that are are like all in.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
He called the whole team out between you and Jared
Vanderbilt early on the second quarter. Just you know, a
confluence of things.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
Again, it's you know, not be getting nothing personal with
him about normal stuff from my end, and I think
for all of us, you know, being undermanned and we've
got a scrap and claw, we've got to all be
on the same page. We got to have the great teammates.
We got to all play hard all the time out

(26:11):
to get him out of the game. And you know
he reacted, uh.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
No more interaction for me. That's it wasn't my plat
was not in his shift then.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
To take him out like well again, it was it was.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
A confluence of things, Dan JJ you mentioned in Pittsburgh,
the confluence.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Practice from the Dallas game that you're gonna have Steuer
to do some different things.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
House is JJ Reddick calling out his players and you
think he's you know, he's had trouble catching the ball.
He's just had trouble catching the ball.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
And you know, I don't know if that's the passing
or if it's trying to get positioned. He just he
hasn't been able to catch the ball.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know, all right, right, that's enough, all right? So
so the key here Reddick he called out the entire
roster by saying that he needs guys that are buying in.
Why would you need guys that are buying in if
they're unless they're not buying in? And then specifically Hatchamurrow
says he wasn't doing his job, so he took him
out Vanderbilt. He said it was an influence of things.

(27:11):
He only played like five minutes and DeAndre Ayton can't
catch the ball. That's so great. What are the odds
on JJ Reddick being back on television and doing a
podcast ripping old NBA players next year? Like, you know,
the old guys that played in the NBA. Chances are
pretty good that he's out. This is it his final
games as Laker coach. He'll be gone. They've got real

(27:32):
owners now, they want a real coach, and they'll get
rid of Lebron. He'll be gone, get rid of the
guy that won the contest to Raffle because his dad
wanted him on the team, Brownie James. He'll be gone,
and they might actually hire a real coach. I just
go to the phones. Lucky Tony is in the Bay Area. Hello,
Lucky Tony, Welcome, Hey man.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Why is it likely me and Loreno will be naked
in Disneyland? Yeah? I don't know, because we're fucking goofy.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Thanks Ben, All right, thank you, go to the podcast.
All right, moving on, let's say hello to nobody. Heard that? Well,
lunch meat heard that. Hello lunch Meat in Pittsburgh. Hello
lunch Meat, welcome.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Hey, I'm here man, good to hear you. I have
a little jingle to go out to a weed man.
Ready for it? Here goes roll, roll your joint tightly
at the end, take a few coachs and pass it
to a friend. Where do you think, Well, we.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Touch it up in post production. A very random lunch meat. Well,
why on this night. Did you choose to call and
give us that jingle to weed?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Man?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Why is this night different than all other nights?

Speaker 5 (28:50):
I try all the other times. But you know what,
My care takers coming in about fifteen men.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Oh you see, this is a smart move. You snuck
that one in, lunch Meat. I like that. So you
have somebody coming in there, and you're like, I'm going
to deliver the hammer before this person comes in here.
That's what I'm talking about. Way to go, lunch Meat.
I like that.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
Listen, this is an anthropology question. I know you're a
real smart guy. Here you go.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh sure, I'm doing an overnight sports talk radio show.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Yes, go ahead, waiting first the chicken or the duck?

Speaker 1 (29:25):

Speaker 1 (29:52):
I don't want to get you in trouble. Get out

you go. How about that rebel? That's a rel right there?
He knows he's going to get scolded. Lunch Meat that
caretakers gonna come in and said, what are you doing?
You dope? You just can't be on the phone. I
gotta take care of you. And then he said, no,
I am going to do this. I want to be

(30:13):
on the show. I want to send a message to
weed Man. My name is lunch Meat. The guy even
had a goofy nickname. The jingle wasn't good. Who cares?
The guy called in. I like that he had the
balls to call him. Most people will never call the radio.
Lunch Meat said, I'm doing it. I want the people
to hear what I have to say, and so that's
what he did. It is a Ben Mahler show and

(30:36):
we have an MLB pitcher calling out their manager. Say
what Yeah. Sandy Alcantara of the Miami Marlins, who was
likely going to be traders, actually off to a pretty
good start. He was terrible horrible last year, just really
really bad to the bone, bad, bad, bad to the bone,

(30:59):
and better this year. And he called out the manager
of the Marlins. He was taken out of the game
versus the Reds in the ninth inning. He said, I
thought I deserved at least to be asked how I
was feeling before taking me out of the game. But
those are decisions you can't control as a player. So

(31:23):
he's ripping the communication between himself and the manager. And
let's see, now, Lorena and Coop, if I gave you
ten thousand dollars of fake radio money right now, if
you could name the manager of the Miami Marlins, could
you name the manager for don't look hands up for

(31:46):
ten thousand dollars, could you name the manager of the
Miami Marlins. No, No, No, Coop manager of the John
Maddingly Wow. A couple, man, I think it was a
couple of Yeah, you're two managers. Ago. That's that's the
last Marlins manager I remember. Okay, so you skipped over
Skip Schumacher and somebody named Clayton Bigsby McCullough. Is I

(32:12):
believe the guy's name. He's the manager of the Marlins
this year? All right? Favorite, My favorite manager of all
time for the Marnins is the great Jack McKeon. I
love that guy back in there and Jim Leland smoking
in the dugout. Great moments in Marlin's history where they
winking a nod to Jeff Torborg hmm, I can't even
some of these guys. Cookie Rojas managed the Marlins for

(32:33):
one game. These are old These are good names Larana
for old dudes. They love old guy names. Like Tony
Perez managed the Marlins in two thousand and one. I
don't remember that. And I interviewed him. I like the
interviewed him when he was managing the Martins. I don't
remember who else, the great Freddie Gonzalez pastor there Edwin
Rodriguez coached the Marlins for two years. I'd have no

(32:53):
idea who that is? Wow, have no idea who that is?

Speaker 5 (32:56):
All right?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Is the Ben Mahlor Show. And they had seventy seven
cent dog Night in Toronto, the Blue Jays and the Dodgers.
So they had a promotion there in honor of the
fiftieth anniversary of the Blue Jays. They decided they were
gonna they have a lot of hot dog promotions there.
So they said, you know what we're gonna do. We're

(33:17):
gonna sell hot dogs for seventy seven cents. Seventy seven cents.
You want to take a guess how many hot dogs
they sold at the game. How many hot dogs did
they sell at the game. Blue Jays seventy seven cent
hot dog Night in honor of the inaugural season Jay
started in nineteen seventy seven. So I guess they're doing

(33:38):
it a little early because that wouldn't that be next year?
I guess not anyway, Go ahead, take a guess here.
Don't go crazy on this, but how many seventy seven
hot seventy seven cent hot dogs did the Blue Jays
sell a Dodger Blue Jaga, Lorena, you want to go first?
I'm gonna guess forty five one hundred hot do forty
five hundred? Wells, that's a ridicular guest. Coople loop, Go ahead,

(34:01):
Cooper loop forty five thousand or forty five hundred, No,
twenty thousand, that's a more reasonable guess. Okay, well in
August thirty seven thousand. Okay, guess again, I did it?
You're such a girl.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
The correct answer, the correct answer. The arena over one
hundred thousand hot dogs. Wow, one one hundred thousand, two
hundred and four hot dogs. That was through the seventh inning.
By the way, that was only through the seventh inning,
so they likely went over away over that. And yeah,
so they sold a lot of Wieners there in Toronto,

(34:38):
they sold a lot of It is the Ben Mahlord Show,

Long time cornerback Stefan Gilmore announced his retirement last week,
and on Monday, he said in an interview that he
has a goal of getting into both the Patriots Hall
of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now, Ben,
the Pats Hall is probably a lock. But will he
get it? Will he get a gold jacket?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah? So I don't have him as a Hall of Fame.
He's He's a two time All Pro. He was the
Defensive Player of the Year, so that is the criteria
to be in the Hall of Fame. I just didn't
think of him as a Hall of Famer. Let's put
it this way, Coop. He's a borderline Hall of Fame
guy because you can certainly tell the story without mentioning

(38:49):
Stefan Gilmore's name. All right. I mean he had some
big moments and all that, and he won a Super
Bowl and Defensive Player of the Year. Is that a
Hall of Fame? I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Next same head coach Kellen Morrison recently that even with
the addition of running back Travis at TN, he still
wants Alvin Kamara as part of the running back room.
At himself said that he thinks that sharing the load
with Kamar will benefit them both. Kamara had the worst
season of his career last year. Will at Tien actually
help Kamara?

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Well? Will he even Kamara be on the team. We
gotta wait for the draft, Coop. That's the weekend. These
guys get traded. NFL Draft weekend. Next quick, guy.

The Bulls fired their executive VP and their GM. However,
it is being reported the team and still high on
Billy Donovan. Is keeping Donovan the right move.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
It's an odd move. I don't think he's like the
greatest coach. I don't know why they're keeping him cool.
Why does he have pictures of Jerry Reinsdorf. How'd we
do you sail the station?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
