0:00
Speaker 1: Bing go. It's our number far underway, the squeeze play
0:07
Speaker 1: here an hour, number four, and it's all about the tushy.
0:11
Speaker 1: It's all about the tushy. The vote is in and
0:15
Speaker 1: the NFL owner said, we're going to keep the toush push.
0:19
Speaker 1: But there were a lot of stories around this, including
0:22
Speaker 1: the Eagles owner going bonkers. Should an owner like the
0:26
Speaker 1: Eagles Jeffrey Luriy be so vocally involved with a tush
0:30
Speaker 1: push or did he cross the line taking an hour
0:33
Speaker 1: to filibuster. Shouldn't the toush push be embraced rather than eliminated?
0:38
Speaker 1: And it's not going to be, but shouldn't also the
0:41
Speaker 1: toush push in addition to that, is it fair to
0:45
Speaker 1: legislate against football tactics just because they're difficult to stop?
0:50
Speaker 1: It's too hard to stop, so we should get rid
0:53
Speaker 1: of it. We'll talk about that. And is the toush
0:55
Speaker 1: push out of the danger zone now that the league
0:58
Speaker 1: has voted against it, or is this something you file away.
1:01
Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of that and more right now here.
1:03
Speaker 1: It is our number four. Have a great Thursday. A
1:10
Speaker 1: vote to save your tukis, well, not your tukis, but
1:15
Speaker 1: some NFL teams welcome in the beginning of another hour
1:21
Speaker 1: of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
1:27
Speaker 1: side by side as we are armed to the teeth,
1:32

2:19
Speaker 1: Kathy and Madison, they won't do it. Go to expresspros
2:23
Speaker 1: dot com right now. So our lead this hour, don't
2:27
Speaker 1: bear the lead. My man. Well, it was very interesting
2:30
Speaker 1: twenty four hours because you had the story last night
2:34
Speaker 1: in basketball where the New York Knickerbockers rode the vomit
2:39
Speaker 1: com that was a Kamakazi mission. At the end, blew
2:42
Speaker 1: a seventeen point lead with six minutes ago, blew a
2:46
Speaker 1: fourteen point lead with less than three minutes to go
2:49
Speaker 1: and somehow lost to the Indiana Pacers and the story
2:53
Speaker 1: of the night. He also had the passing the death
2:55
Speaker 1: of Jim Irsay, the owner of the Colts, a unexpected events.
3:00
Speaker 1: But our lead is from Minneapolis. That is where the
3:04
Speaker 1: league meetings have been taking place, taking care of business
3:08
Speaker 1: and will certainly the death of Jim Mercy trump everything
3:12
Speaker 1: else NFL related. We'll get back to that if you
3:14
Speaker 1: would like later on. We did a monologue earlier, it'll
3:16
Speaker 1: be up on the podcast later about some of our
3:19
Speaker 1: memories of Jim Mercy. But we learned that the meetings
3:25
Speaker 1: turned heated. It was angry. There was vitriol at the
3:30
Speaker 1: NFL league meetings. Why there was a heated exchange. I'm
3:35
Speaker 1: not playing nice guy anymore. No, So there's the seated
3:38
Speaker 1: exchange between NFL owners. All of this over to keep
3:43
Speaker 1: or not keep the tush push. The discussion occurred during
3:48
Speaker 1: the general session. Now Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made an
3:53
Speaker 1: impassion speech. It wasn't just a speech, it was a
3:58
Speaker 1: long drawn out, never ending story in defense of the play.
4:06
Speaker 1: And we are told that the Eagles owner had seen
4:10
Speaker 1: reports on social media that the NFL had enough votes
4:14
Speaker 1: the Tushy Pushy was going to be bait, and he
4:18
Speaker 1: was I all right. He was hopping mad, hopping mad.
4:23
Speaker 1: So the Eagles owner then figured, Hey, I got nothing
4:26
Speaker 1: to lose here, so I'm gonna go for it. And
4:30
Speaker 1: he went with the hail Mary and the ball was
4:33
Speaker 1: tipped and it bounced into the wide receiver's hands, touchdown.
4:38
Speaker 1: Blabbing for close to an hour, close to an hour,
4:44
Speaker 1: got so bad. Another NFL owner got up and said,
4:47
Speaker 1: what the eff are you doing? Why are you doing
4:49
Speaker 1: this now? Near the end of the rant, the Eagles
4:53
Speaker 1: owner he used an analogy. He said, to the other aristocrats,
4:58
Speaker 1: the robber barons, this meeting at this location in Minneapolis,
5:03
Speaker 1: he said, listen, regardless of whether or not the tush
5:06
Speaker 1: push is banned, it is a win win for the
5:10
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. He added, it's like a this is the
5:13
Speaker 1: money quote. It's like a wet dream for a teenage
5:16
Speaker 1: boy to create a play that was so successful that
5:22
Speaker 1: the only way for it to be stopped is to
5:25
Speaker 1: ben it, the Eagles owners said.
5:28
Speaker 2: Now.
5:28
Speaker 1: Lurie also criticized, criticized Roger Goodell, Roger the Dodger, and
5:35
Speaker 1: Troy Vincent another tody of Roger Goodell for advocating for
5:40
Speaker 1: the band. He was reprimanded for the wet Dream analogy.
5:45
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Let's focus in on
5:49
Speaker 1: this brew ha between the Eagles owner and his rant.
5:55
Speaker 1: Should an NFL owner like Jeffrey Lurie of the Eagles
5:59
Speaker 1: be so vocally involved with the touch push or did
6:05
Speaker 1: he cross the line? He was reprimanded by mister Vincent,
6:09
Speaker 1: So did he cross the line. So I've got Bill Murray,
6:12
Speaker 1: Banana cream Pie and Razor, and we will combine all
6:18
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are gonna make the
6:21
Speaker 1: Gabba ghoul. We're gonna make the Gabba ghul is what
6:24
Speaker 1: we're gonna make, all right, So, first of all, absolutely
6:30
Speaker 1: support the owner of the Eagles defending his his play. Now,
6:35
Speaker 1: would I have wanted to sit in a room and
6:38
Speaker 1: listen to some whack a doodle go on for an hour? God? No,
6:43
Speaker 1: I've had many meetings over my time here, and every
6:48
Speaker 1: one of them we try to get over with as
6:50
Speaker 1: quick as possible. Just end the meeting. That's the one
6:53
Speaker 1: goal we all are united in as employees, let's end
6:56
Speaker 1: the meeting. And so I get it. They were having
6:58
Speaker 1: a vote. This is the signature play. We know all
7:02
Speaker 1: about that. But then all of a sudden, it's like
7:04
Speaker 1: you're on Capitol Hill and you're doing a filibuster and
7:08
Speaker 1: you're advocating the virtues of the tush push and so
7:12
Speaker 1: waxing loquations like a Bill Murray movie that was not
7:16
Speaker 1: one of the all time great Bill Murray movies, Passion
7:18
Speaker 1: play right, it is a tender spot. Now, we would
7:21
Speaker 1: rather have root canal than listen to an NFL owner,
7:27
Speaker 1: a billionaire yap on and on and on and on
7:31
Speaker 1: on on on. Yeah, and so most of these owners,
7:36
Speaker 1: most of these owners are not out in front and
7:40
Speaker 1: just kind of along for the ride. There's a few
7:42
Speaker 1: we know who they are. We talk about him all
7:44
Speaker 1: the time. But Luriy brought up he did bring up
7:47
Speaker 1: a great point, and I wanted to highlight that he
7:50
Speaker 1: talked about this being a win win situation, and this
7:53
Speaker 1: is something that we've talked about. Clearly. The Eagles owner
7:55
Speaker 1: is a fan of our show. He's listened to our podcast.
7:58
Speaker 1: We pointed this out the other day. Now, some I'm
8:00
Speaker 1: dumb called ubs Oh, don't know what you're doing, because
8:03
Speaker 1: I'd pointed out that this would have been the ultimate
8:07
Speaker 1: flex for the Birds if the NFL had banned it.
8:11
Speaker 1: A play so invincible, so amazing that the other members
8:16
Speaker 1: of the cartel, the Good Old Boys Network, said we
8:19
Speaker 1: can't stop it. We're gonna give up. We give up.
8:23
Speaker 1: That's the old one. This is a can Now it
8:25
Speaker 1: didn't happen, but it's akin to when basketball banned the
8:30
Speaker 1: slam dunky, and they used much of the same language
8:34
Speaker 1: the NFL tried to use to get rid of the
8:36
Speaker 1: toush push. All right, now, Secondly, shouldn't the tush push
8:41
Speaker 1: be embraced? Shouldn't it be embraced rather than trying to
8:46
Speaker 1: eliminate it? And on that one, I am I'm nod
8:50
Speaker 1: in my head. Yes, I'm nod in my head. Yes,
8:53
Speaker 1: this has been an innovation. He said, Well, it's a
8:57
Speaker 1: rugby play, it's not a football player. But it is
9:02
Speaker 1: something that did not exist in the NFL that has
9:07
Speaker 1: popped up. And while it has been amazing for Philadelphia,
9:11
Speaker 1: if you look around, if it were so easy to
9:13
Speaker 1: execute that play, then you'd have seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
9:21
Speaker 1: fourteen teen. I'm not getting fifteen. That would be running
9:24
Speaker 1: it at a high success rate. But you know, and
9:27
Speaker 1: I know that is not happening. That is not me.
9:29
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurtz is the only quarterback who has consistently been
9:33
Speaker 1: able to use this as a cheek code. And that's
9:37
Speaker 1: just the reality. Now, Is it fair to legislate against
9:40
Speaker 1: football tactics just because they're difficult to stop? It's not right.
9:46
Speaker 1: See that is foul played like the NFL medal. It's
9:51
Speaker 1: been confirmed. I was a read a story about this
9:53
Speaker 1: earlier that the conspiracy theory that we talked about the
9:57
Speaker 1: other day is accurate. That the NFL did. The NFL
10:00
Speaker 1: did deputize the Green Bay Packers to do their dirty work.
10:05
Speaker 1: They hired the Packers as the hitman to try to
10:08
Speaker 1: take out the Tushy Pushy. And since that team does
10:12
Speaker 1: not have a real owner, they just are owned by
10:14
Speaker 1: the community. They have a panel of people that run
10:18
Speaker 1: the Packers, but they're not owned by any one human being.
10:22
Speaker 1: And so they were like, hey, you're gonna be the
10:25
Speaker 1: bad cop. We are going to make you the bad cop,
10:30
Speaker 1: and the facers like okay. And for the NFL think
10:33
Speaker 1: about this, this monstrosity, this mammoth operation. That's like the
10:38
Speaker 1: mob the NFL, and they could not get this to pass.
10:43
Speaker 1: They could not. This is what Roger Goodell wanted and
10:46
Speaker 1: he couldn't get it. He couldn't get it. This is
10:49
Speaker 1: a banana cream pie right to the face, to the kisser,
10:53
Speaker 1: banana cream pie to the face. Remember the the NFL
10:56
Speaker 1: tabled this for about a month till lobby for extra votes,
11:02
Speaker 1: and they still swinging a miss. They swing by a
11:05
Speaker 1: swing back out of they swing a miss. All right,
11:08
Speaker 1: final phing. So is the Toush push out now of
11:12
Speaker 1: the danger zone? Is it out of the danger zone?
11:15
Speaker 1: Because the league get voted, they pushed it back for
11:18
Speaker 1: a month, they voted, they decided that they could not
11:20
Speaker 1: get enough votes. So in terms of the question, is
11:23
Speaker 1: the Toush push out of the danger zone? The answer
11:26
Speaker 1: is an absolutely not, absolutely not. And here's the reason. Okay,
11:32
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Because of the razor Or Go
11:37
Speaker 1: razor thin margins. Okay, the NFL needed twenty four votes
11:44
Speaker 1: the ban the tushy pushing. They only got to twenty two.
11:49
Speaker 1: They closed the gap, but they didn't close it long enough.
11:52
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Expect the NFL to re
11:55
Speaker 1: examine this play down the line, especially if the Birds
12:02
Speaker 1: continue to monster mash with this and this will pop
12:07
Speaker 1: up again on the radar. Now Here are the ten teams.
12:10
Speaker 1: This is not a list. These are the ten teams
12:13
Speaker 1: that voted against the Tousch push. They are obviously the Eagles.
12:20
Speaker 1: So there's nine other teams. The Ravens Fly, Ravens Fly,
12:24
Speaker 1: Those Birds have to stick together. The Cleveland Browns supporting
12:29
Speaker 1: the Toush push, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Miami Dolphins, We're
12:35
Speaker 1: not done. The New England Patriots. Good job by the Patriots,
12:38
Speaker 1: the Saints, the Jets, and the Tennessee Titans. That's it.
12:43
Speaker 1: If your team was not mentioned, that means your team
12:47
Speaker 1: voted to censor the Toush push. Out with the tush
12:54
Speaker 1: is essentially what they said. So those are the teams
12:57
Speaker 1: we like that, those are that we support those teams.
12:59
Speaker 1: That's good job by you. And so the question becomes,
13:03
Speaker 1: can the NFL now convince two of those other nine
13:08
Speaker 1: teams to say it's nay on the Tush push a
13:12
Speaker 1: get rid of it and change their vote, flip the vote.
13:16
Speaker 1: All they need is to that's it. And I will
13:21
Speaker 1: garn effing to you that as long as Roger Goodell's
13:24
Speaker 1: in charge and he doesn't like the play, he's going
13:28
Speaker 1: to bring this up again. And how about television? Does
13:32
Speaker 1: TV like it? Do they decide this is a bad
13:36
Speaker 1: product and that this is an issue and it's a
13:39
Speaker 1: it's a tender spot. We have to address this. But
13:43
Speaker 1: either way, the story is not over, not by a
13:47
Speaker 1: long shot. It's not done. They're going to continue to
13:50
Speaker 1: run this up the flagpoles and play this cat and
13:52
Speaker 1: mouse game with the tushy pushy And even though for
13:57
Speaker 1: the Eagles it is a testing, trusted play, for the
14:02
Speaker 1: rest of the nfls we've documented not so much. Not
14:07
Speaker 1: so much. All right, is the Ben Mahler Show. If

19:27
Speaker 1: as the Knicks game last night, though, thank you Rick.
19:29
Speaker 1: The entering Wednesday I saw this. It's one of those
19:33
Speaker 1: mind blowing numbers entering Wednesday teams that trailed by nine
19:37
Speaker 1: or more points in the final minute of the fourth
19:39
Speaker 1: quarter overtime in the playoffs. This goes back to nineteen
19:43
Speaker 1: ninety eight. They didn't keep track of this stuff before
19:45
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, so that's the modern era. But since then,
19:49
Speaker 1: that had happened where her teams were trailing by nine
19:52
Speaker 1: or more points final minute of the fourth quarter overtime
19:55
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, it had happened one thousand, four hundred
19:59
Speaker 1: and fourteen times. How many times do you think the
20:04
Speaker 1: team that was trailing won again, well, fourteen hundred times.
20:10
Speaker 1: How many times did the team How many times did
20:12
Speaker 1: the team trailing end up winning down by nine final minute?
20:15
Speaker 1: The answer none. The Indiana Pacers. Last night, the Indiana Pacers,
20:22
Speaker 1: according to the Elias, became the first team in the
20:26
Speaker 1: last twenty seven years to trail by nine or more
20:30
Speaker 1: points in the final minute fourth quarter overtime and win
20:33
Speaker 1: the game. They won the game, an amazing accomplishment. And
20:38
Speaker 1: if you think last night's game was high scoring, high
20:40
Speaker 1: Faluton and all that, you're not wrong. That was the
20:44
Speaker 1: highest scoring conference final game, highest scoring conference final game
20:48
Speaker 1: two hundred seventy one total points since the Warriors played
20:54
Speaker 1: the Hawks. And I don't think they were the Atlanta
20:56
Speaker 1: Hawks at the time in nineteen sixty seven. The last
21:01
Speaker 1: time you had a game that was that epic with
21:05
Speaker 1: that much offense and all that. So it's been it's
21:09
Speaker 1: been a while. It is absolutely been a while. Now.
21:12
Speaker 1: One person that is annoyed and financially annoyed with the outcome.
21:18
Speaker 1: It's probably a lot of people financially avoid annoyed with that,
21:21
Speaker 1: but that would be des Bryant. Des Bryant, the former
21:25
Speaker 1: NFL wide receiver, former Dallas Cowboy des Bryant, who was disgusted, dismayed,
21:33
Speaker 1: and disheartened by the Knicks losing that game. He claims
21:38
Speaker 1: that he lost five hundred thousand dollars. He had a
21:44
Speaker 1: bet on that game. He would have won five hundred
21:46
Speaker 1: thousand dollars had the New York Knickerbockers won the game. Now,
21:53
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the points spread or
21:54
Speaker 1: just to have to win the game. I'm sure about
21:56
Speaker 1: that part of it, but that that was what Bryant
22:00
Speaker 1: sent out. I do understand he's he's a prolific gambler,
22:05
Speaker 1: so I guess that would make sense. He got he
22:07
Speaker 1: has money from his NFL careers by betting big time money,
22:10
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work out, he'll end up in
22:15
Speaker 1: a documentary about going bankrupt. If it works out, then
22:18
Speaker 1: that's good for him. Now, speaking of gambling, there's a
22:22
Speaker 1: big gamble going on this weekend. A NFL rookie star
22:28
Speaker 1: supposed to be a star, Travis Hunter, is going to
22:32
Speaker 1: become an honest man, Travis Hunter said to marry in
22:37
Speaker 1: Tennessee this weekend. Wasn't that the when he was at Colorado?
22:42
Speaker 1: Wasn't she the one that was viral for all the
22:46
Speaker 1: wrong reasons and all that? In my confusing.
22:48
Speaker 5: Mind, I didn't know that she had a backount well when.
22:52
Speaker 1: He was at Colorado. I thought there was an incident
22:55
Speaker 1: a couple of things where where he was like kind
22:58
Speaker 1: of beholden to her. He was, yeah, she was. She
23:01
Speaker 1: was like, you know, very possessive. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah.
23:07
Speaker 1: So they're they're getting married. So okay, didn't he get
23:11
Speaker 1: off social media because of that? Didn't he? I think
23:13
Speaker 1: he did? Right, he was on there for a while
23:15
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm good, I'm out. That's it, I'm done,
23:20
Speaker 1: Ski's no more. I'm sure that wedding will be be
23:24
Speaker 1: amazing eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number.
23:29
Speaker 1: And uh, let's say a little blind Scott who's always
23:33
Speaker 1: there no matter what, Always blind Scott, Hello, blind Scott welcome.
23:36
Speaker 3: Oh hey, yeah, they.
23:37
Speaker 5: Died Jim Mercy. Stuff was kind of depressing. I didn't
23:40
Speaker 5: realize he was only sixty five. He brought his traveling
23:43
Speaker 5: museum here to Boston a couple of years ago. I
23:46
Speaker 5: was on the on the sidewalk when they were bringing
23:48
Speaker 5: all the equipment in.
23:49
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. He was riding like a
23:50
Speaker 2: little Hubver scooter and he was smoking cigarettes.
23:53
Speaker 5: So like if you if you smoke those cigarettes, they
23:56
Speaker 5: can strict.
23:57
Speaker 2: Your blood vessels and eventually you'll have a stroker to
24:00
Speaker 2: while you're sleeping or even when you're just standing up
24:02
Speaker 2: or whatever, the blood just rushes straight to your head.
24:05
Speaker 2: I'm assuming the cigarettes is what did him in.
24:07
Speaker 1: But what do you what are your doctor? I get
24:11
Speaker 1: you assume because he smokes a lot of people smoke cigarettes.
24:13
Speaker 1: He didn't die from I don't believe he died from cancer.
24:16
Speaker 1: You just whatever, we'll find out. We're gonna fight out
24:19
Speaker 1: at some point here, We're gonna fight out.
24:21
Speaker 2: So I played a doctor on the radio, like I've
24:24
Speaker 2: been multiple health problems since I was ten years old.
24:28
Speaker 2: You know, uh one other thing, dude, this ousie was guy?
24:32
Speaker 3: He why are you so upset?
24:34
Speaker 1: Why are you obsessed with Ozzy Was? I don't under

Speaker 2: Fake tough guy he has like a fake tough guy.
24:40
Speaker 2: I'm from the North End. I'm a real tough guy.
24:42
Speaker 2: He flexed on me like you you.
24:45
Speaker 1: Would You would not last too. If you were in
24:47
Speaker 1: Western Australia, you would not You would not last if
24:51
Speaker 1: you were in Westerns.
24:52
Speaker 2: Total hill billy act, dude. That's that's a total act
24:55
Speaker 2: he's doing. He has a weird accent. He sounds like
24:58
Speaker 2: a goofball like literally, man, real, that's.
25:01
Speaker 1: His native tongue. What do you want to tell you?
25:03
Speaker 1: What's where he grew up?
25:04
Speaker 2: Come on, dude, he's threatening people on Twitter at I'm
25:08
Speaker 2: like he's he works in an excavatory.
25:11
Speaker 1: You how many people have you threaten? You threatened?
25:13
Speaker 3: You threatened me?
25:14
Speaker 1: How many times do you threatened me over the years?
25:17
Speaker 2: Well, I would do it you if you don't give
25:18
Speaker 2: me any airtime, let me finish what I'm saying.
25:20
Speaker 1: Oh, Mike, I gave you the air You've given you
25:23
Speaker 1: plenty of airs I'm giving you. I get people complaining
25:25
Speaker 1: I give you so much airtime. Why do you put
25:27
Speaker 1: this guy on? They said, what do you do? Put
25:28
Speaker 1: Scott on? Blind? Scott was wrong with you?
25:30
Speaker 3: They tell me, these are these are these those older dudes.
25:34
Speaker 2: That listen to the podcast or the day. They can't
25:36
Speaker 2: even get out of bed for the show due they're
25:38
Speaker 2: not even in the age demographic. I'm the biggest star
25:41
Speaker 2: in the radio show I'm bringing on.
25:42
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, do you think all right? I go,
25:44
Speaker 1: I go, get get all right? Please? Oh my god?
25:48
Speaker 1: All right? Is my family back in the day would say,
25:56
Speaker 1: all right, anyway? So how about let's get the money
25:59
Speaker 1: real money. Yeah, I mentioned the loss of five hundred
26:02
Speaker 1: thousand dollars supposedly Des Bryant lost his you know what
26:07
Speaker 1: on the on the Knicks. But how about this one?
26:10
Speaker 1: All right? Shaye jogis Alexander the MVP of the NBA.
26:18
Speaker 1: He has a decision to make you make the call
26:22
Speaker 1: you now, he's already rich. So it's one of those deals.
26:25
Speaker 1: So the MVP of Oklahoma City SGA is eligible this
26:31
Speaker 1: offseason to sign a four year contract for two hundred
26:36
Speaker 1: and ninety three million. Let me repeat that for those
26:41
Speaker 1: of you that are little slow. SGA the MVP of
26:45
Speaker 1: the NBA. Because of this, he is eligible for a
26:49
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety three million dollar extension. However, since
26:53
Speaker 1: he won the MVP and also was an All NBA
26:58
Speaker 1: player this year, assuming that all takes place, Sga is
27:03
Speaker 1: going to be eligible to sign a five year, three
27:07
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty million dollar contract, but he has to
27:11
Speaker 1: wait until twenty twenty six, the offseason after next year.
27:17
Speaker 1: So you make the call. It's an extra eighty seven
27:22
Speaker 1: million dollars. Do you take the money right now at
27:25
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety three million, or do you bet on yourself?
27:29
Speaker 1: Do you gamble that you're going to stay healthy, You're
27:34
Speaker 1: going to be okay, and then you're gonna get the
27:36
Speaker 1: extra eighty seven million dollars. It's the only logical move
27:41
Speaker 1: here would be to go and play out for the
27:45
Speaker 1: eighty seven million dollars. Now, you play out the year
27:48
Speaker 1: and you go for it. I mean because either he's
27:51
Speaker 1: already got enough money I would assume based on what
27:54
Speaker 1: he's been earning up until this point, where diversified portfolio. Oh,
28:00
Speaker 1: put some some money away. You're you're fine, You're you're
28:04
Speaker 1: in really good shape. You've got nothing to worry about.
28:07
Speaker 1: And he obviously has plenty of money because did you
28:10
Speaker 1: see Jay uh Gilghis Alexander what he bought his teammates? Uh?
28:15
Speaker 1: You know how they all hang out together us like
28:17
Speaker 1: a high school team there in Oklahoma City. They all
28:19
Speaker 1: every time they do a postgame interview, the whole team
28:21
Speaker 1: has to stand around. That's their stick. So he bought
28:24
Speaker 1: everyone on the team a beautiful Rolex watch.
28:30
Speaker 5: Yeah.
28:30
Speaker 1: So us that's chump change. When you're in the two
28:33
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar territory and all that, that's like nothing, right,
28:37
Speaker 1: that's forget about it. Uh, but he's got the cash.
28:41
Speaker 1: He has the cash ola for sure. All right, coming
28:46
Speaker 1: up straight ahead, we have momentarily we are going to
28:50
Speaker 1: have is it a fact or Is it fiction? A

Speaker 1: That's code FS ten in the tick Pick app and
29:52
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of that. So I'm trying to
29:56
Speaker 1: find the latest on Bill Belichick, and the only I
30:00
Speaker 1: found out we had the big scandal tabloid story where
30:04
Speaker 1: Jordan Hudson claimed that they're engaged in all that, and
30:09
Speaker 1: some people are saying, well, they're not engaged. And then
30:11
Speaker 1: the TMZ had the story that Belichick changed the name
30:14
Speaker 1: of his boat, which raised some eyebrows and added an
30:18
Speaker 1: extra ring on there. They think that's for her cheerleading ring,
30:22
Speaker 1: which would be hilarious. Would make Bill the most whipped
30:26
Speaker 1: man in America, in the world. If that's the case, Well,
30:30
Speaker 1: now someone else has entered the chat. Mac Brown, of
30:34
Speaker 1: all people. Mac Brown, longtime college football coach who flopped
30:40
Speaker 1: his second stint for the Tar Hills so out of
30:45
Speaker 1: finn Air. Mac Brown has laid out a claim against
30:51
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. He's the guy that Belichick essentially replaced at
30:55
Speaker 1: North There might have been some interim coach at the end,
30:57
Speaker 1: but Mack Brown had been there for couple of years,
31:00
Speaker 1: and so Bill Belichick takes over, and in an appearance
31:04
Speaker 1: on a serious XM radio, mac Brown said, as far
31:08
Speaker 1: as North Carolina and Bill Belichick, and he went on,
31:12
Speaker 1: he's the greatest coach. Blah blah blah blah blah. They've
31:14
Speaker 1: committed money to it, They've helped him with the academics.
31:19
Speaker 1: This is the money part of a quote. Mac Brown
31:21
Speaker 1: claims they lowered the standards at North Carolina to get
31:27
Speaker 1: a better football team. I'm paraphrasing some of this, but
31:29
Speaker 1: to get a better football team on the field. And
31:33
Speaker 1: they've so they've changed the academics. So that's let me
31:37
Speaker 1: tell you what's gonna happen. I'll tell you why mac
31:39
Speaker 1: Brown said this. Right, So you're talking about committing money
31:43
Speaker 1: and lowering academics because mac Brown knows if Belichick is good,
31:50
Speaker 1: if Belichick a wins a bunch, that's gonna make mac
31:55
Speaker 1: Brown look like a dumb ass. Right, while you were there.
31:59
Speaker 1: You couldn't win at North Carolina, Macburn, what's wrong with you?
32:02
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick came in there and he won. And it
32:05
Speaker 1: works perfectly if Belichick doesn't win, because then page two
32:11
Speaker 1: here mac Brown can say, well, I mean they lowered
32:14
Speaker 1: the academic standards, they had more money, and he still
32:17
Speaker 1: couldn't win. He still could not win. You know, that
32:21
Speaker 1: whole rang. So it's advantage. It's a savvy move by
32:24
Speaker 1: mac Brown to a savvy move because either way, if
32:27
Speaker 1: Belichick wins, you're like, you dismiss it because you're, hey,
32:30
Speaker 1: they lowered the standards. You know, he's got a bunch
32:32
Speaker 1: of meathead guys that aren't and they're not there for academia.
32:36
Speaker 1: They're there to play football, which is what everyone wants.
32:38
Speaker 1: Who is a college football team? And if Belichick somehow
32:41
Speaker 1: doesn't win, doesn't have success, doesn't have that Dion Razmataz
32:46
Speaker 1: at North Carolina, then mac Brown can do a victory
32:49
Speaker 1: lap and say, man, I didn't have success, but at
32:52
Speaker 1: least I had higher standards. I had higher standards that
32:55
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Come on, it is the Ben Mahler Show.

37:55
Speaker 1: Right, mister is in Houston, and you're gonna be one
37:58
Speaker 1: of our judges. All right, let's get to these here
38:00
Speaker 1: three stories. Figure out which the three is not true.
38:03
Speaker 1: Story number one, well, the Dodgers are known for having
38:09
Speaker 1: a large Latino fan base, and so when they had
38:12
Speaker 1: Mexican Heritage Night this week, they went all out. In fact,
38:15
Speaker 1: before the game, the Dodgers put a ring in center
38:19
Speaker 1: field and they held a wrestling match right there for
38:23
Speaker 1: the fans to enjoy. Story number two The Pretty Bear
38:28
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, who was known to wear nail polish back
38:32
Speaker 1: in his college days at SC and it is a
38:35
Speaker 1: tradition he started in high school, continues to do it
38:37
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Last week, Williams took the social media
38:41
Speaker 1: to announce that he is launching his own nail polish line,
38:45
Speaker 1: a collaborative effort with his mom, who has been a
38:48
Speaker 1: nail technician for over twenty five years. And story number
38:52
Speaker 1: three pros versus Joe's. If you were a fan of
38:57
Speaker 1: the TV show back in the day that pitted regular
38:59
Speaker 1: Joe against professional athletes, your dreams are about to come true.
39:03
Speaker 1: You'll be happy to know that Fanatics is doing something
39:06
Speaker 1: similar they are launching a competition called Fanatics Games, consists
39:11
Speaker 1: of fifty high folut and celebrities, fifty regular folk country
39:16
Speaker 1: bumpkins who will compete in eight sports theme challenges. Among
39:20
Speaker 1: the names that have signed up, you've got Tom Brady,
39:23
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, the Beer James Harden, all of them set
39:27
Speaker 1: to participate. And I'm sure they're doing that for charity
39:30
Speaker 1: and not getting paid a ton of money from Fanatics
39:32
Speaker 1: unless we made the whole thing up. So those are
39:34
Speaker 1: the three stories. Which of the three is not true?
39:37
