0:22
Speaker 1: of the team playbook. How does that vibe for you?
0:26
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Also. Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb says
0:30
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were lying last year about a culture change. However,
0:34
Speaker 1: this year they're going to be doing it. Should you
0:37
Speaker 1: trust Miami and North Carolina Football GM Michael Lombardi says
0:43
Speaker 1: those reports about Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson are just noise.
0:48
Speaker 1: They're just noise, and they have no relevance whatsoever, complete falsehoods.
0:54
Speaker 1: Would you translate the cryptic message for the regular guy?
0:59
Speaker 1: We will attempt to do that right now here. It
1:02
Speaker 1: is our number three. It is just a request, that's

2:10
Speaker 1: leave this hour. We gotta do little football right NFL
2:13
Speaker 1: as it's the lull before the next wave training camps
2:17
Speaker 1: opening up in about a month month in a couple
2:21
Speaker 1: of days. So can't do the show without some hot
2:23
Speaker 1: pigskin talking. Well, Raphael Devers was traded, Okay, I want
2:27
Speaker 1: to call in and yap about that. I'll talk to
2:29
Speaker 1: you about that. Devers goes to the giants from the
2:32
Speaker 1: Red Sox. But the story in football, this one caught
2:35
Speaker 1: my attention. I thought it was interesting. So we go
2:38
Speaker 1: to Pittsburg, PA, the land of the Yinsers. The obligatory
2:42
Speaker 1: malle monologue on Erin Rodger. So Aaron Rodgers raising some
2:49
Speaker 1: eyebrows recently, what did he do? I'll tell you I'll
2:54
Speaker 1: tell you what he did. So if you didn't see this,
2:57
Speaker 1: maybe now, while the NFL has moved to a digital world,
3:01
Speaker 1: you might have noticed this. It's been that way for
3:03
Speaker 1: a number of years. Everyone has all of their stuff
3:08
Speaker 1: on the tablet in the digital world. Where Rogers said,
3:12
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want a tablet. I don't
3:14
Speaker 1: need your tablet. I'm not going to use your tablet.
3:17
Speaker 1: So he made a formal request to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
3:20
Speaker 1: He said, I would like my playbook hand delivered on
3:25
Speaker 1: old paper from the paper mill. I want a physical playbook,
3:30
Speaker 1: an actual book, not a tablet, not a tablet. Were
3:32
Speaker 1: talking about a book, Okay, So Rogers planning to write notes.
3:39
Speaker 1: Oh that's exciting with a pencil and study before training game.
3:44
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. While these Steelers and
3:48
Speaker 1: every NFL team have moved all of their playbook activity
3:53
Speaker 1: onto the tablets, Aaron Rodgers asking the Steelers for a
3:57
Speaker 1: printed version of the team's playbook. So how does that
4:00
Speaker 1: vibe with you? That's the question. So I've got on
4:03
Speaker 1: this one. I've got the Tesla, the bottle Rocket, and
4:09
Speaker 1: Super Scooper, and we will combine all of these things
4:14
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some delicious cupcakes
4:20
Speaker 1: with wonderful frosting on top and sprinkles, the whole thing.
4:24
Speaker 1: All right. So, first of all, when I saw this,
4:28
Speaker 1: a classic, classic Aaron Rodgers on brand, it's hey, I'm different,
4:34
Speaker 1: you know, I'm different. I'm a deep thinker, and I
4:39
Speaker 1: don't want the kind of weird stuff with your WiFi
4:42
Speaker 1: because he don'tink he was WiFi. I think that's the
4:44
Speaker 1: big issue, right, Rogers is worried about the gamma rays
4:48
Speaker 1: from the Wi Fi or whatever it is there, and
4:51
Speaker 1: so he always has to zig when everyone else zags, right,
4:56
Speaker 1: And so you know, using the pencil, he just speaks
5:00
Speaker 1: to him the wood of the pencil and then the
5:04
Speaker 1: paper and all that. And it's gotta be a little bit,
5:08
Speaker 1: a little bit different there, unconventional we know that. And
5:14
Speaker 1: diva capital D maybe small D on this, maybe small D.
5:18
Speaker 1: But part of me actually does like the old school
5:23
Speaker 1: mentality of Aaron Rodgers, Like I don't need your tablet.
5:26
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it old school. I'm gonna take a
5:27
Speaker 1: pencil out and I want to scribble some notes. A
5:30
Speaker 1: little chicken scratch over here, A little chicken scratch over there,
5:33
Speaker 1: and I want to have a feel for everything. I
5:35
Speaker 1: want to feel the paper, my fingers on the paper
5:40
Speaker 1: and write things down and make notes in the margins
5:44
Speaker 1: and all that. However, now there is a reason the
5:49
Speaker 1: NFL went to digital. It's because it's twenty twenty five
5:53
Speaker 1: and that's kind of the way it is. And you
5:54
Speaker 1: just do it and it works and it's easy. And
5:57
Speaker 1: then when you want to delete something, you want to
5:59
Speaker 1: update something, it's very simple. You click a couple of
6:02
Speaker 1: things and then boom, you're on your way. And that's
6:05
Speaker 1: why they do it. And you know, can you imagine Rogers.
6:09
Speaker 1: It's like I'm gonna write on the playbook, I'm gonna
6:11
Speaker 1: scribble around and all that stuff, and then he's gonna
6:14
Speaker 1: pull out the three ring binder that they use in baseball,
6:17
Speaker 1: and he'll be looking at the three ring binder and
6:19
Speaker 1: then boom, Miles Garrett from the blind side, coming off
6:23
Speaker 1: the edge like a human missile a torpedo. Come boom,
6:27
Speaker 1: Down goes Rogers. Down, goes Nostalgia. Down, goes Nostagia. Now
6:34
Speaker 1: we know this is I'm mentioned in a previous hour
6:36
Speaker 1: about the players this time of the year that half
6:40
Speaker 1: the players lose weight because they want to be more agile.
6:44
Speaker 1: Half the players gain weight because they want to be stronger.
6:47
Speaker 1: And it's always the results that determine whether it worked
6:50
Speaker 1: or not. Right, if you do well as a lighter player,
6:54
Speaker 1: then that's why you were having success, and vice versa
6:57
Speaker 1: if you happen to be stronger. But if it works,
7:01
Speaker 1: the Steelers will start printing playbooks to everyone. They'll be like,
7:04
Speaker 1: we're gonna go old school. We're gonna hand out playbooks
7:07
Speaker 1: like the Scholastic Book Fair. Everyone's getting a book and
7:11
Speaker 1: just knock yourself out and all that. Now, if it
7:13
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't work, the opposite there, if the number two
7:18
Speaker 1: pencil doesn't quite get it done, then they'll be like, well,
7:22
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna get tablets and that's it. And you know,
7:25
Speaker 1: it's like the back and forth, the yin and the
7:28
Speaker 1: yang of the story. And again, if it works, where
7:33
Speaker 1: the printed copy of the playbook helps rogers out, it's like, Okay,
7:37
Speaker 1: why don't we bring back the Al Davis overhead projector
7:41
Speaker 1: we'll bring that back, and we'll bring back the VHS
7:44
Speaker 1: cassette tape. We'll do that as well. We're gonna skip DVD.
7:48
Speaker 1: We'll go back to the VHS tape and that's what
7:50
Speaker 1: we're gonna And hey, why not use polaride polaroids? You
7:53
Speaker 1: know you used to use those on the sideline. We'll
7:55
Speaker 1: use those polaroid things on the sidelines rather than the
7:59
Speaker 1: tablet because that's old school. We'll do that, now, what's wrong?
8:04
Speaker 1: And hey, how about the rotary phone. There's a famous
8:07
Speaker 1: story that Joe Montana figured out a way to he
8:11
Speaker 1: dialed nine and he would he call his wife from
8:13
Speaker 1: the sidelines because they used like these old school phones.
8:17
Speaker 1: And so we'll bring that back. We'll bring back like
8:18
Speaker 1: the rotary phone, and it'll be wonderful and it'll be
8:23
Speaker 1: just like nineteen ninety five or something like that, twenty
8:28
Speaker 1: twenty five. All right, now, turning the page on that
8:30
Speaker 1: to Miami, Miami, Miami, we go. Interesting story in South
8:35
Speaker 1: Florida linebacker Bradley Chubb. Bradley and I didn't play last year.
8:40
Speaker 1: He was hurt, but he made some interesting comments recently
8:44
Speaker 1: that came to my attention, so I wanted to share
8:45
Speaker 1: them with you if you didn't see this. So Bradley Chubb,
8:48
Speaker 1: who missed all of last year, says that Dolphins were liars,
8:53
Speaker 1: last season. It's not my interpretation, that's what he said.
8:57
Speaker 1: He was talking about the Dolphins lying about a culture
8:59
Speaker 1: change and saying that they put their toe in the water.
9:03
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb said, but they didn't dive all the way in.
9:05
Speaker 1: They did not dive all the way in. He says,
9:08
Speaker 1: they weren't making the effort to go the extra mile
9:11
Speaker 1: like they're selling gasoline. And he said, I would say
9:14
Speaker 1: this year, we're doing that close quote all right, so
9:19
Speaker 1: let us discuss that's the money quote on this Dolphin
9:22
Speaker 1: linebacker Bradley Chubb says the Dolphins were lying. They were
9:27
Speaker 1: lying last year about the culture change. However this year
9:31
Speaker 1: they're doing it. Should you trust Miami? Should you trust them?
9:36
Speaker 1: So I've got on my scorecard. I've got two letters.
9:40
Speaker 1: N oh n oh, no no, not until you show
9:46
Speaker 1: me and not even if you show me, because you
9:48
Speaker 1: get off to a great start in September and beginning
9:50
Speaker 1: of the year. And it's bofosako. No no, no. Because
9:55
Speaker 1: I've seen the Dolphins and ever since Don Shula left
9:58
Speaker 1: that building and Dan Marino left that building, all that
10:01
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We know how this movie plays out. We've
10:04
Speaker 1: seen the movie. It's a rerun of the movie. They
10:08
Speaker 1: end up going out there and getting frostbite in December.
10:13
Speaker 1: All right, cold weather. They got to play at Buffalo
10:16
Speaker 1: or Baltimore or somewhere cold and it just boom and
10:20
Speaker 1: if they make the playoffs one and done, that's it.
10:25
Speaker 1: That's all. The Dolphins are like a bottle rocket in
10:28
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right, They're flashy, they're loud, they score a
10:31
Speaker 1: lot of points earlier in the year, a lot of razmataz,
10:34
Speaker 1: and then they fade away and they're gone, and everyone
10:38
Speaker 1: at the party forgets about it and they're like, all right,
10:40
Speaker 1: that's it now. I do love that Bradley Chubb had
10:44
Speaker 1: the cojones, the Dolphin linebacker, to essentially call out the
10:50
Speaker 1: coaching staff that they were frauds, because when you say
10:53
Speaker 1: the team was lying about changing the culture, you're really
10:55
Speaker 1: calling out the coaching staff. And all this talk is
10:58
Speaker 1: cheap in June. But I have a show to do,
11:00
Speaker 1: so I need to talk about this stuff. And he
11:04
Speaker 1: used the l word liar, Liar, liar, liar, that's good too,
11:09
Speaker 1: basically saying that the Dolphins were a bunch of pretenders
11:12
Speaker 1: last year and I wasn't playing, but if I had
11:14
Speaker 1: been playing, it would have been different and all this stuff.
11:17
Speaker 1: And the Dolphins talked to talk, but they didn't walk
11:19
Speaker 1: to walk. And it's kind of half in, half out,
11:22
Speaker 1: half ass, grab ass and all that stuff. All of
11:26
Speaker 1: that right, and a phony culture change, but it's gonna
11:30
Speaker 1: be different twenty twenty five and all that stuff. Okay,
11:33
Speaker 1: we'll find out when the weather turns cold, we'll find
11:36
Speaker 1: out whether that's true or not. Now, final fun, So
11:39
Speaker 1: we go to our obligatory Mallard monologue mentioned on the
11:43
Speaker 1: North Carolina Tar Hills, and you know what that means.
11:47
Speaker 1: So over the weekend, the GM this is a new
11:50
Speaker 1: term in college sports. Michael Lombardi, longtime gas bag and
11:56
Speaker 1: somebody that's been writing the coattails of Bill Belichick for
11:59
Speaker 1: years and years zero. So Michael Lombardi came out and
12:03
Speaker 1: said that all these reports about Bill Belichick's romance with
12:07
Speaker 1: Jordaan Hudson and all this it's just noise. According to Lombardi,
12:12
Speaker 1: he said, it's got no relevance whatsoever. He stated complete falsehoods.
12:18
Speaker 1: He went on and on and on, and he says
12:21
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to attack the reports because that would
12:24
Speaker 1: give the reports credibility that's what he said. So when
12:27
Speaker 1: you translate what this rather cryptic message, rather cryptic message
12:34
Speaker 1: means for the regular guy. So I have my decoder
12:38
Speaker 1: ring out, I will attempt to translate this. The way
12:41
Speaker 1: I interpret it is that Michael Lombardi ever a Bill
12:47
Speaker 1: Belichick loyalist to his last breath in football. He loyal
12:52
Speaker 1: to Belichick. So he's like trying to walk in the middle,
12:57
Speaker 1: and he's like kind of leaning one way, but he's
12:59
Speaker 1: walking in the he's not denying. He's not denying that
13:04
Speaker 1: there's some stuff going on. He says, this is nothing.
13:07
Speaker 1: It's you know, there's a lot of stuff that's being embellished.
13:09
Speaker 1: And he said when he uses the line, if I
13:11
Speaker 1: tack it, I give it credibility. Okay, so that line
13:15
Speaker 1: right there, I attack it, I give it credibility. Speaking
13:18
Speaker 1: out while pretending not to speak out like you did
13:21
Speaker 1: talk about it. But you're like, I'm not gonna I'm
13:23
Speaker 1: not going to mention any name, sir, to give anyone attention.
13:27
Speaker 1: But you're bringing it up. It's easy to find this
13:29
Speaker 1: stuff now, just google it. Just google it. And following
13:35
Speaker 1: the reputation rehab talking points, you see Bill Belichick a
13:40
Speaker 1: month ago, he hired a spin doctor, one of these
13:43
Speaker 1: high falutin damage control specialists. So the way I see
13:46
Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi in this part of the book, Michael Lombardi
13:51
Speaker 1: is in the cockpit and he's flying the Super Scooper.
13:56
Speaker 1: He's scrambling flying the plane, the plane, trying to put
13:59
Speaker 1: out the fire. Got to put out the fire with
14:01
Speaker 1: the Super Scooper and put out the fire. And you
14:04
Speaker 1: know it's just noise, complete false. It's blah blah blah
14:08
Speaker 1: blah blah, no relevance whatsoever, as Lombardi claims, then why
14:12
Speaker 1: would you address it at all? Again, by addressing it,
14:14
Speaker 1: you're giving it some some legs, is what you're doing there.
14:19
Speaker 1: And then you either dignify the lie. You dignify the lie,
14:23
Speaker 1: or or with a rebuttal you let it die on
14:27
Speaker 1: the vine, right, you let it die on the vine
14:29
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But this is the modern playbook.
14:32
Speaker 1: We've seen it time and again in these scandals. You
14:34
Speaker 1: hire a professional pr spin doctor, and this is the
14:37
Speaker 1: way that it goes. If you're connected to the story,
14:40
Speaker 1: you just float above it and all this stuff. But
14:43
Speaker 1: you act like you're above the discussion. And then even
14:48
Speaker 1: while you're like knee deep. Lombardi's probably waist deep at
14:51
Speaker 1: this point, I would say. And then the heat gets
14:54
Speaker 1: turned up and all that, and you know, man, and
14:56
Speaker 1: you act like you're being persecuted. You play the victim card.
14:59
Speaker 1: Fro I'm a victim here, blah blah blah. And Lamarty
15:04
Speaker 1: knows that game. He's acted in that game. He's been
15:07
Speaker 1: a character in that game for some time. And I
15:09
Speaker 1: think he probably wrote the book on that, or at
15:12
Speaker 1: least part of the book, maybe the Ford. It is
15:15
Speaker 1: the Ben Mahlor Show, and if you'd like to be part,
15:19
Speaker 1: there are lines that can be open. The phones have
15:23
Speaker 1: been they were working and they weren't working, and I
15:26
Speaker 1: just reset it. So I think they're working now kind
15:28
Speaker 1: of some of them, I don't know. Give it a
15:31
Speaker 1: shot and see if you can get in there. Eight

Speaker 1: I woke his ass up. I said wake up. He
27:09
Speaker 1: woke up right away. He woke up right away when
27:12
Speaker 1: I said wake up. So it's an interesting story here
27:15
Speaker 1: involving a Raider forever, a Raider, Max Crosby, who signed
27:23
Speaker 1: He was the for like a day, he was the
27:25
Speaker 1: highest paid defensive place. You see what Max Crosby said recently,
27:29
Speaker 1: he said defensive end of the Raiders said that he
27:34
Speaker 1: believes John Gruden will return to coaching in the NFL
27:39
Speaker 1: like soon. That's his prediction. John Gruden's been out, he
27:44
Speaker 1: has been in exile. The Big email scandal. Now Gruden
27:50
Speaker 1: was out of the NFL for nine years after coaching
27:53
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, but he was not out of the league.
27:55
Speaker 1: He worked on television and did Hooters commercials on television
27:59
Speaker 1: for a line time, and then he lasted there. He
28:02
Speaker 1: came back to the Raiders for in twenty eighteen, and
28:06
Speaker 1: he lasted like two or two and a half years,
28:09
Speaker 1: and then he got whacked because of the email leak,
28:12
Speaker 1: the strategic leak, as Brent Musburger said, the NBA or
28:16
Speaker 1: the NBA and the NFL sent the goombas in and
28:19
Speaker 1: took him down. It was a strategic hit. The NFL
28:23
Speaker 1: leaked a bunch of email courd to Musburger, Hall of
28:26
Speaker 1: Famer Musburger, by the way, leaked the email to the
28:28
Speaker 1: New York Times on the Wall Street Journal, and that
28:31
Speaker 1: was it. Of course, we should point out mac Crosby
28:33
Speaker 1: was drafted by John Gruden and believes that he will
28:37
Speaker 1: see him coach again at some point, saying he's a
28:40
Speaker 1: football junkie. It's all he does, whether it's in college
28:44
Speaker 1: or head coach somewhere. Returning to the league, Crosby made
28:49
Speaker 1: an appearance on the Johnny Manzel plot. This Menzel's got
28:53
Speaker 1: a podcast too. Who the hell's listening to that? Now?
28:57
Speaker 1: I do know that John Gruden has been making the
29:00
Speaker 1: rounds here getting free crap. Like Gruden, he's doing stuff
29:04
Speaker 1: with barstool. But they'll send him college teams will just
29:07
Speaker 1: send him boxes and boxes of crapola and Gruden will
29:11
Speaker 1: open them up on video and throw the stuff to
29:15
Speaker 1: the side and all that. And I'll do the same
29:18
Speaker 1: thing if somebody wants to send us free stuff, like
29:21
Speaker 1: I know Loraina get used to get a lot of stuff,
29:22
Speaker 1: but I will. For me, i will open it. I'll
29:25
Speaker 1: do a video and I'll be just like Gruden and say, oh, look,
29:28
Speaker 1: there's a helmet. Here's a five thousand dollars, five thousand,
29:31
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars helmet, whatever it is, two thousand dollars whatever,
29:34
Speaker 1: throw it aside. Here's seventeen different branded shirts and jerseys,
29:41
Speaker 1: and I'll just throw those to the side. And that's it.
29:45
Speaker 1: So we'll see about ger Gruten's that. At the age
29:48
Speaker 1: he's at now, you figure he's gonna have to come
29:50
Speaker 1: back in the next couple of years. There's a certain
29:53
Speaker 1: point where you're past your expiration date and then that's it.
29:58
Speaker 1: That's it all right, it is the ben If you'd
30:01

30:22
Speaker 1: about has been this Rafael Devers trade. He was the
30:26
Speaker 1: centerpiece of the Boston Red Sox and now he has

Speaker 1: been traded. A Sunday night surprise Father's Day surprise as
30:34
Speaker 1: Rafael Devers goes from Boston to San Francisco for some trash.
30:39
Speaker 1: It was takeout the Trash day for the Giants. They'd
30:43
Speaker 1: sent a bunch of injured pitchers, guys that haven't done
30:47
Speaker 1: anything in some lottery ticket minor leaguers over to Boston
30:51
Speaker 1: for Rafael Devers and his contracts. We'll give advice to
30:55

33:07
Speaker 1: a guy with a bad attitude and a big contract.
