- 0:12Speaker 1: unthinkable has happened. We're not even at training camp. How
- 0:15Speaker 1: much weight do you give Seurs coach Mike McDonald and
- 0:18Speaker 1: his vote of confidence for a new quarterback, Sam Darnold,
- 0:22Speaker 1: say what We'll explain. Should the Texans be concerned about
- 0:26Speaker 1: quarterback CJ. Stroud's health? They say they're not. Other reports
- 0:31Speaker 1: say they should be. And we have learned that the
- 0:33Speaker 1: Cowboys defensive back tra Von Diggs is in line to
- 0:37Speaker 1: lose five hundred thousand because he doesn't want to show
- 0:41Speaker 1: up to offseason workouts even though he's just rehabbing. He'd
- 0:44Speaker 1: rather stay in Florida. How does that taste to you?

- 0:58Speaker 1: Is it a good sign or a bad sign that
- 1:02Speaker 1: you haven't even gotten to training camp and your coach
- 1:05Speaker 1: has to run to defend you? Well, this Guss Welcome

- 1:52Speaker 1: be a big book that's written about this show, and
- 1:54Speaker 1: Rob will be the one that puts it together, unless
- 1:57Speaker 1: that does not happen, because why would anyone public book
- 2:00Speaker 1: about the show anyway? It is the Ben Maler Show,

- 2:30Speaker 1: the NFL. We'll get back to the pro bouncy Ball
- 2:32Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later on but a good story.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Here you go where the news of the day takes you.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Our friend the ostrich Ant in DC believes that the
- 2:43Speaker 1: month of June is the pinnacle of sports talk radio,
- 2:48Speaker 1: the separation of the wheat from the shaft, the ones
- 2:53Speaker 1: that can do it and those that can't. A lot
- 2:55Speaker 1: of people take their vacation time here in early June,
- 2:58Speaker 1: trying to get away from the grind and all that.
- 3:01Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from the Pacific Northwest.
- 3:04Speaker 1: We're going to start out in the Pacific Northwest. New laundry,
- 3:09Speaker 1: same old drama, New laundry, same old drama. The life
- 3:12Speaker 1: in times of Sam Boo Boo Donald, one boo boo
- 3:16Speaker 1: after another. Sam Darnald as he settles in to life
- 3:21Speaker 1: in Seattle, the failed Viking quarterback who was exposed like
- 3:25Speaker 1: the fraud he was at the end of the year
- 3:28Speaker 1: by the Lions and then the la Rams. And if
- 3:31Speaker 1: you had not heard the latest on this, this is outstanding.
- 3:34Speaker 1: This is a ten out of ten, this particular story.
- 3:37Speaker 1: So we learned that the coach of Seattle probably know
- 3:40Speaker 1: who that is because he's a nobody. Mike McDonald who
- 3:44Speaker 1: had a farm Ei ei oh so Mike McDonald attempted
- 3:48Speaker 1: to put the key bosh to put the toothpaste back
- 3:52Speaker 1: in the tube. On the debate over the quarterback whether
- 3:58Speaker 1: or not Sam Donald would be the quarterback in Seattle,
- 4:02Speaker 1: McDonald was asked by some of the Seattle media about
- 4:06Speaker 1: the possibility that someone other than Sam Donald would be
- 4:10Speaker 1: the quarterback. The Seahawks have added Drew Locke, who also
- 4:13Speaker 1: can't play, and jam And Milroe from the draft. Anyway,
- 4:17Speaker 1: here is Mike McDonald, the Seattle coach, commenting on the
- 4:23Speaker 1: Sam Donald status and whether or not he'll be playing
- 4:26Speaker 1: table lists that would lead to a different quarterback.
- 4:29Speaker 2: You guys are crazy.
- 4:30Speaker 1: There's no way to ask the question with that sound
- 4:32Speaker 1: like an I.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Respect you got to ask it, but like there's you guys,
- 4:35Speaker 2: it's just a crazy question. There's just not gonna like
- 4:37Speaker 2: Sam's are starting quarterback. We love him, He's doing a
- 4:39Speaker 2: tremendous job. God forbid, you know you're you're the worst
- 4:42Speaker 2: player of all time because you made one bad throw
- 4:45Speaker 2: or one bad decisions Like that is not what we're
- 4:47Speaker 2: trying to build. We want these guys to go prepare
- 4:49Speaker 2: the right way and then I go out on the
- 4:51Speaker 2: practice field, go freaking let it rip.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And then we'll go fix it.
- 4:54Speaker 2: We'll go we got time, it's it's June.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Third, we'll go.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Okay, they've got to get plenty of reps. We'll get
- 4:58Speaker 2: those things fixed. I mean Sam made a carill up
- 5:01Speaker 2: a lot of great throws yesterday. He's gashing us on
- 5:03Speaker 2: third and goal to start the start the start the
- 5:06Speaker 2: day out too. So yeah, that was kind of a
- 5:08Speaker 2: crazy question.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I don't think it's a crazy question at all. I
- 5:12Speaker 1: think his answer is rather crazy. So Donald signed a
- 5:15Speaker 1: three year contract with a bunch of escape patches because
- 5:17Speaker 1: Seattle knows they signed a crappy quarterback. It's up to
- 5:21Speaker 1: one hundred million. No, it was really just a one
- 5:23Speaker 1: year deal, and the Vikings can flush him away, or
- 5:26Speaker 1: the Seahawks and flush him away like the Vikings did
- 5:29Speaker 1: and all that. So we know that Seattle added, as
- 5:32Speaker 1: we mentioned Jalen Milroe who had issues at Alabama and
- 5:35Speaker 1: Drew Locke who can't play. So let us discuss the
- 5:38Speaker 1: question how much weight do you give the Seahawks coach
- 5:43Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, as you just heard giving a vote of
- 5:46Speaker 1: confidence to Sam Donald even before training camp. Sam Donald
- 5:51Speaker 1: needs a vote of confidence, so I've got in flight, meal,
- 5:55Speaker 1: happy Hour and Wimbledon, and we will combine all of
- 5:59Speaker 1: the things together and we are going to make an
- 6:03Speaker 1: updated resume because I believe Mike McDonald, if he truly
- 6:08Speaker 1: is fully invested in Sam Donald, he will be let go.
- 6:14Speaker 1: As the Seattle coach. You didn't do anything. He's not
- 6:17Speaker 1: just a generic coach. He's a jack, just a coach,
- 6:20Speaker 1: nothing special there. So my first thought on this the
- 6:25Speaker 1: full Sam Donald experience. If you're Sam Donald and you
- 6:29Speaker 1: think you're locked in as the start, if you believe
- 6:32Speaker 1: all that bull crap that the coach said, you might
- 6:36Speaker 1: want to relook at some things in your life. There,
- 6:39Speaker 1: go start biting your fingernails. Now it is OTAs just workouts,
- 6:44Speaker 1: shorts and visors and things like that for the most part.
- 6:47Speaker 1: And Sam Donald already already smelling like leftover tuna fish
- 6:55Speaker 1: that's been sitting out in the sun. It's just that
- 6:58Speaker 1: you can't make this up. The heartburn adding up there
- 7:03Speaker 1: those boots on the ground. Boots on the ground say
- 7:05Speaker 1: that Sam Donald was intercepted multiple times in the first
- 7:10Speaker 1: open practice session with the media. Tossed a pair of
- 7:12Speaker 1: interceptions in the seven on seven portion of the practice.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And so here's where I sat from thirty six thousand
- 7:20Speaker 1: feet up in the sky. The Seattle Seahawks coach Mike
- 7:24Speaker 1: McDonald is enjoying a nice in flight meal, and that
- 7:28Speaker 1: meal is a bowl of cereal, it's honey ohs or
- 7:32Speaker 1: in this case just owes as an oracle of obvious,
- 7:37Speaker 1: oracle of obvious, and I'm gonna go to the boiler
- 7:40Speaker 1: plate on what I am supposed to play, what I'm
- 7:43Speaker 1: supposed to say as an NFL coach. It is the
- 7:46Speaker 1: disfunction junction, how do you function? That is the full
- 7:52Speaker 1: Sam Donald experience, and the Seahawks are just finding that
- 7:55Speaker 1: out there that you're having to give a vote of
- 7:59Speaker 1: confidence to Sam Donald. So really, what Seattle's doing, they're
- 8:06Speaker 1: playing the sweep Steaks and they're like, you can get
- 8:09Speaker 1: seven or eight or nine games out of Sam Donald.
- 8:12Speaker 1: It's never a good thing when you have to play
- 8:14Speaker 1: hide the quarterback. And the only way Sam Donald can
- 8:17Speaker 1: be effective, and it only works for a limited amount
- 8:20Speaker 1: of time, is hide the quarterback, play hide the cours.
- 8:23Speaker 1: And at some point you can't hide the quarterback when
- 8:26Speaker 1: you play a good team late in the ear and
- 8:27Speaker 1: then you're exposed you're pants and you're out there and
- 8:31Speaker 1: you don't have an underwear on. You're just pants the
- 8:34Speaker 1: whole thing. And so there's all kinds of loopholes and
- 8:38Speaker 1: get out of the contract and all that escape patches.
- 8:41Speaker 1: And let's clip and save this quote by McDonald who
- 8:45Speaker 1: had to say that, right, the oracle of the obvious,
- 8:48Speaker 1: And then we'll look back at this. I'll save this
- 8:50Speaker 1: in my notes, and then when we get the week
- 8:52Speaker 1: five or six and Sam donald is no longer playing
- 8:55Speaker 1: quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, we can revisit this and
- 8:58Speaker 1: we point our finger in line and goof on Seattle.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And that's always fun to do. That's that's good talk radio.
- 9:04Speaker 1: So page two to Houston we go, speaking of the
- 9:07Speaker 1: quarterback shuffle. You've got drama in the lone Star State,
- 9:14Speaker 1: as Demico Ryans. Demko Ryans, the head coach of the
- 9:18Speaker 1: Houston football team, has announced he has quote no concerns
- 9:24Speaker 1: close quote about quarterback c J. Stroud, who has been
- 9:29Speaker 1: limited from doing the thing that all quarterbacks seemingly need
- 9:32Speaker 1: to do, throwing the ball during spring practice, due to
- 9:36Speaker 1: quote general soreness. So you know at this point what
- 9:41Speaker 1: c J. Stroud he's in his fifties. Body gets a
- 9:44Speaker 1: little sort Oh no, he's actually in his twenties. He's
- 9:46Speaker 1: in his twenties. So the Texans opened OTA's back on
- 9:50Speaker 1: May twenty eight. Yeah, twenty eight, and c J. Stroud
- 9:53Speaker 1: ce Jay Stroud of the Texans has not thrown passes
- 9:56Speaker 1: during any of the practices that are open been to
- 10:00Speaker 1: the media. Now others are singing a different tune. So
- 10:05Speaker 1: the Texans coach, Tamiko Ryans is like this, there's nothing
- 10:08Speaker 1: to see here. Everything is fine, don't worry about this. Okay.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Now there's a conflicting report that is out singing a
- 10:18Speaker 1: different tune making it clear that the fans should panic,
- 10:23Speaker 1: Panic at the disco. Panic at the Disco says, you
- 10:27Speaker 1: should not believe what the coach said. You shouldn't believe
- 10:31Speaker 1: the statements from the team there. With the Texans, there
- 10:33Speaker 1: should be concerns about c J. Stroud. So let us
- 10:40Speaker 1: discuss as we do this show in early June twenty
- 10:43Speaker 1: twenty five. Should the Texans be quote concerned close quote
- 10:49Speaker 1: about quarterback c J. Stroud and his health. So I'm
- 10:53Speaker 1: actually shaking my head no on this, I'm shaking my head.
- 10:57Speaker 3: No.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Now you know, Ben, you're just supposed to panic the way.
- 11:00Speaker 1: That's your bad job about you. Okay, As you know,
- 11:03Speaker 1: we look at this on a case by case basis
- 11:06Speaker 1: as possibly tweaked something and working out lifting weights or whatever.
- 11:11Speaker 1: And even if he did, whoop, p damn do. That's
- 11:14Speaker 1: what I say, whoop damn do. It's happy hour, happy hour,
- 11:19Speaker 1: which is code for it's amateur hour in the hot
- 11:23Speaker 1: take factory. There is some issues with the machinery here
- 11:27Speaker 1: in the warehouse. And it's everything's clickbait these days. I
- 11:33Speaker 1: get it. We live in the clickbait world. That's how
- 11:35Speaker 1: the game works. Anyone says, oh, it's just clickbait. Everything clickbait,
- 11:39Speaker 1: like that's how it is because that's how people consume media. Clicking. Well,
- 11:44Speaker 1: I don't believe it in clickbait. Yes, you do. You
- 11:46Speaker 1: click on things. You're part of the problem. You are
- 11:48Speaker 1: part of the problem. But then they're not concerned about
- 11:53Speaker 1: c J. Stroud's health. The people that are putting this
- 11:58Speaker 1: out of there, I don't think they should be. I
- 11:59Speaker 1: think there's any real concern for c J. Stroud because
- 12:03Speaker 1: of why the calendar, that would be why there is
- 12:07Speaker 1: no legitimate concern. You're stirring the pot. You're looking for something.
- 12:12Speaker 1: You're looking for a little something, and that's a little
- 12:16Speaker 1: something that you can latch onto and get your tentacles
- 12:19Speaker 1: into and all that stuff. And we can see now
- 12:22Speaker 1: now if you want to find out when there is concern,
- 12:24Speaker 1: that'll be in late July. I think around July twenty
- 12:29Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty four to twenty fifth, somewhere in that
- 12:31Speaker 1: area is when training camps open up in the NFL.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And if CJ. Stroud has decided to have a camp
- 12:37Speaker 1: out in the injury tent when the real training camp
- 12:41Speaker 1: opens up in a month and a half, then we
- 12:43Speaker 1: can revisit this. Up until that point, that's premature concern
- 12:49Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna have and I'm not a Texans
- 12:51Speaker 1: fan anyone. I'll let mister Irrigation worry about that. That's
- 12:55Speaker 1: a and the deacon, I'll let those guys worry about now.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Final point to his world, and speaking of absurd and
- 13:03Speaker 1: amateur hour, this is theater of the absurd, theater of
- 13:06Speaker 1: the absurd. From Jerry's world, we have learned now that
- 13:10Speaker 1: the Cowboys defensive back Travon Diggs, that's right, the brother
- 13:16Speaker 1: of Stefon Digs. Trevon Diggs is in line to lose
- 13:22Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars. Now, what did he do? Did
- 13:26Speaker 1: he violate the team rules? Was he on the boat
- 13:30Speaker 1: with the bikini models and the pink candy which I'm
- 13:33Speaker 1: sure was not cocaine in Miami? Was he on the
- 13:36Speaker 1: boat with his brother? No? So how did he lose
- 13:40Speaker 1: the or how is he going to lose the five
- 13:42Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars by not showing up to the team facility,
- 13:47Speaker 1: by missing the team's off season workouts. So let's discuss
- 13:54Speaker 1: Cowboys defensive back Travon Diggs inline to lose five hundred
- 14:00Speaker 1: thousand smack a roos because he's missing off season workouts.
- 14:06Speaker 1: How does that taste?
- 14:08Speaker 2: All?
- 14:08Speaker 1: Right? So it tastes like Sardinian cheese, which I am
- 14:12Speaker 1: told is the cheese that is made. It is maggot
- 14:15Speaker 1: infested cheese. Yum, yum to my Tom, Tom. That's what
- 14:20Speaker 1: it is now in London and it's Wimbleton time coming
- 14:26Speaker 1: up here. But in London they would call this an
- 14:29Speaker 1: unforced error. That's tennis lingo. It's an unforced error, is
- 14:33Speaker 1: what it is. Diggs is in his mid twenties. He
- 14:37Speaker 1: got a good sized contract. He supposedly has some kind
- 14:41Speaker 1: of internal beef with the training staff there with the
- 14:45Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and so he is willing to forfeit five
- 14:50Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to rehab his knee in Miami, Miami, Miami,
- 14:58Speaker 1: Miami South Beach, staying away from the Cowboy facility. The
- 15:02Speaker 1: price tag on that five hundred thousand dollars, five hundred
- 15:06Speaker 1: thousand dollars, This is bokers to me. Now, am I
- 15:09Speaker 1: completely out of touch? You're just an old head. You
- 15:11Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. Bad. These kids, they
- 15:13Speaker 1: got so much money they can flush away five hundred
- 15:16Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Digs, the dunce digs the dunce. Do you
- 15:22Speaker 1: dig it? Come on, I cannot imagine throwing away five
- 15:29Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars like it's lunch money, and just I
- 15:33Speaker 1: don't need it, I don't want it, I don't I'm
- 15:37Speaker 1: getting rid of it. And all you have to do
- 15:40Speaker 1: is show up. It's not like you have to go
- 15:43Speaker 1: through some rigorous workout. You just merely have to show up.
- 15:46Speaker 1: And that's it. Like, what planet are we on at
- 15:50Speaker 1: this point? What planet are we? Like? Five hundred thousand.
- 15:54Speaker 1: You could buy a house. In some places, you can
- 15:57Speaker 1: buy multiple houses for that kind of money where you're
- 16:01Speaker 1: investing your money. Heck, you could get a fast food franchise.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I assume you could put the down payment and get
- 16:08Speaker 1: a big chunk of like a what a burger? What
- 16:11Speaker 1: a burger? What a mistake for Trevon dis money makes money. Instead,
- 16:17Speaker 1: you're just gonna say, I don't, I don't even rather
- 16:19Speaker 1: hang out here, have a my tie with my friend
- 16:22Speaker 1: weedman hippie in Miami who calls the show occasionally, and
- 16:26Speaker 1: just have a grand old time. Why not? All right?
- 16:29Speaker 1: Is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are working our

- 19:02Speaker 1: think Sam Darnold's not going to start every game next season?
- 19:04Speaker 1: According to no Stradinis, Well, you're quoting Nostradenas. According to Nostradenas,
- 19:11Speaker 1: the Seahawks are a stone cold lead pipe to win
- 19:15Speaker 1: the NFC West running away. You can't bench him then,
- 19:21Speaker 1: according to Ferdough, Yeah, well keep in mind that our
- 19:25Speaker 1: guy Nostradenas the same guy that was giving a bubble
- 19:30Speaker 1: bath to the previous Seattle quarterback who we were ripping
- 19:35Speaker 1: on this show. And we had hot take validation. And
- 19:39Speaker 1: how did we get hot take validation? We got hot
- 19:42Speaker 1: take validation because while nostra DNAs was giving a manny
- 19:45Speaker 1: and a petty to the Seattle quarterback last year, Gino Smith.

- 22:00Speaker 1: this is like fifteen to seventeen years of messages from
- 22:06Speaker 1: debt collectors saying that I need to contact them immediately
- 22:10Speaker 1: and if not, they're going to take my car, my home,
- 22:15Speaker 1: and all of my worldly possessions. Because after seventeen years.

- 37:26Speaker 1: Samlard of the third degree time, and here's coach.
- 37:29Speaker 6: It was recently reported that the Vikings are concerned with
- 37:33Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy that, no matter what the team says, they
- 37:36Speaker 6: wanted Sam Donald back. Ben, do you think Viking fans
- 37:39Speaker 6: are in for a tough season ahead? Well, I don't
- 37:41Speaker 6: believe that they wanted Sam Donald back. They just the
- 37:45Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers thing. You can hide a quarterback, and we
- 37:49Speaker 6: saw it last season with the Minnesota Vikings. They played
- 37:53Speaker 6: hide a quarterback.
- 37:54Speaker 1: And they've got a coach who knows how to do
- 37:56Speaker 1: that based on what they were able to pull off
- 37:59Speaker 1: last year with that coaching staff and Sam Darnold and
- 38:04Speaker 1: how many wins they got and all that stuff, like listen,
- 38:07Speaker 1: Kevin o'connin knows what he's doing. They've got good receivers.
- 38:10Speaker 1: So the Vikings. The baseline for the Vikings is ten
- 38:13Speaker 1: or eleven wins. They're not gonna get any worse than that.
- 38:16Speaker 1: They'll be in that area. They're not gonna be as
- 38:18Speaker 1: good as they were last year, but they'll be in
- 38:19Speaker 1: that area. And if McCarthy by the end of the
