Speaker 1: Pizza pizza. It's our number three, our number three, and
0:05
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff says he likes it
0:11
Speaker 1: when they doubt us. He said that ahead of the
0:13
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NFL season, what does this signify to
0:17
Speaker 1: you as the Lions open things up this Sunday? And
0:22
Speaker 1: how do you categorize Jets quarterback Justin Fields claiming he
0:27
Speaker 1: is not not a storyline going against the Pittsburgh Steelers
0:31
Speaker 1: even though he played for the Yinsers last year. And
0:34
Speaker 1: does this NFL gold shield patch addition to the uniform
0:39
Speaker 1: move the needle for you at all? Will analyze that
0:43
Speaker 1: uniform adjustment right now here? It is our number three.
0:49
Speaker 1: He is definitely lion hearted, that's for sure. Welcome in
0:55
Speaker 1: the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
0:59
Speaker 1: We're in the air everywhere tonguesol wagon as we are mumbling,
1:08
Speaker 1: bumbling in, tumbling, coast to coast, border, the border and
1:11
Speaker 1: beyond on the vast and majestically powerful microphones of FSR
1:18
Speaker 1: emmunading live from the seats. We're in the upper balcony here,

Speaker 1: That's Express Pros dot Calm. So our lead this hour
2:04
Speaker 1: is from Pro Football. Will go to Detroit north of
2:10
Speaker 1: Cowboy in Windsor, Ontario, Motown is where we go the Lions,
2:16
Speaker 1: who in recent years have done something they never did
2:19
Speaker 1: in my childhood, they never did in my adulthood. They
2:23
Speaker 1: have established themselves as a second level contender in the NFC.
2:28
Speaker 1: I know it's shocking. I'm surprised by it too. So
2:31
Speaker 1: the last couple of years the Lions have been a
2:33
Speaker 1: playoff team. They got to an NFC championship game and
2:36
Speaker 1: then in the second half they rode the vomit comet
2:39
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers. But Jared Goff, despite the
2:42
Speaker 1: recent success of the Detroit football team, and Jared Goff
2:46
Speaker 1: is embracing the underdog mentality. He loves it heading into
2:52
Speaker 1: the season. If you saw this or not, maybe not.
2:55
Speaker 1: The Detroit quarterback said, quote, I like being on this
2:59
Speaker 1: side of it more when they doubt us. Golf snickered
3:04
Speaker 1: to a inkstain wretch of a beat reporter there. Now
3:09
Speaker 1: Golf is referencing the fact that some some pundits, not all,
3:15
Speaker 1: but some pundits are not so sure that golf will
3:20
Speaker 1: be able to do well this year because the Lions
3:23
Speaker 1: have changed offensive coordinators. Ben Johnson, the Prodigy has moved
3:28
Speaker 1: on to the Chicago Bear. So let us discuss the
3:31
Speaker 1: question Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Jared Goff says that he
3:38
Speaker 1: likes when they doubt us ahead of the twenty twenty
3:40
Speaker 1: five NFL season. What does that signify to you? So
3:44
Speaker 1: I've got Chevron, kangaroo and be dazzled, and we will
3:51
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
3:55
Speaker 1: to make the babagaanooche is what We're going to make
3:58
Speaker 1: the barbacos. Till, first of all, Jared Goff is putting
4:03
Speaker 1: some loose change. He had a little loose change. He's
4:05
Speaker 1: putting the loose change into the vending machine, and he's
4:09
Speaker 1: pressing a seven in the vending machines, pressing a seven
4:15
Speaker 1: the vending machine. Now, if you look at the vending machine,
4:17
Speaker 1: a seven, it's not gatorade. He's buying a bottle of
4:23
Speaker 1: hater rade, is what he's buying here, because golf is
4:26
Speaker 1: ready to guzzle it down. Guzzle, guzzle, guzzle, he is.
4:29
Speaker 1: Athletes love love to pretend that they're all rocky in
4:35
Speaker 1: training that old movie Rocky. They all think they're rocky.
4:37
Speaker 1: They're running up the steps, sitting there, They're training in
4:41
Speaker 1: a frozen barn somewhere in Timbuckto. They all believe that
4:45
Speaker 1: when in reality, the modern professional athlete has never been
4:49
Speaker 1: more coddled than they are today. They have never been
4:52
Speaker 1: more spoiled and more baby. You talk to the old
4:55
Speaker 1: timers about what it was like being a pro athlete
4:57
Speaker 1: practicing at high school feels. We had Fred Dryer in here,
5:01
Speaker 1: who played for the Rams in the in the seventies
5:04
Speaker 1: and the eighties. And Fred played with a bunch of teams,
5:06
Speaker 1: but he was the top pick by the way in
5:08
Speaker 1: the draft, right And he said before practice, the guys
5:11
Speaker 1: had to get there early, and they had to walk
5:13
Speaker 1: around the field and pull the divots out of the
5:16
Speaker 1: field so they wouldn't trip during practice. And that was
5:20
Speaker 1: professional football, and that are Could you imagine if NFL
5:24
Speaker 1: players today were saying, you guys got to get the
5:27
Speaker 1: you gotta get the practice early because there's the field's
5:29
Speaker 1: kind of crappy and you got to pick up the
5:30
Speaker 1: little pieces of dirt so you don't trip and break
5:32
Speaker 1: your ankle. Uh. Yeah, they definitely would not play. Absolutely,
5:36
Speaker 1: So listen playing the Nobody thought we could do it,
5:41
Speaker 1: and nobody believed in us. Card. It's it's a little
5:44
Speaker 1: bit of the the old Diana Ross song. Upside down.
5:47
Speaker 1: It's upside down logic is what it is because it's
5:50
Speaker 1: manufactured outrage. Detroit, even with the addition of Micah Parsons,
5:56
Speaker 1: Detroit on most of the sports books is a co
5:59
Speaker 1: favor to win the NFC North. They are a co favor,
6:03
Speaker 1: the Packers getting a lot of love. But Jared Goff
6:05
Speaker 1: also not exactly an underdog story. He was the top
6:09
Speaker 1: pick at the very top of the twenty sixteen NFL
6:12
Speaker 1: draft by the Rams. He has been spoon fed by
6:16
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh and lately Ben Johnson, and for being a
6:21
Speaker 1: player that has just spoon fed what to do. He
6:24
Speaker 1: has been rewarded handsomely with the riches of Solomon, or
6:27
Speaker 1: in this case, the riches of the Lions, and before
6:29
Speaker 1: that the riches of the Rams. Golf has already made
6:32
Speaker 1: over two hundred million dollars. Jared Goff is over two
6:36
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and by the time he's done with
6:38
Speaker 1: the Lions, his contract, if the math is right here,
6:42
Speaker 1: will be over four hundred million by the time that
6:45
Speaker 1: he is at the end of this deal. So a
6:47
Speaker 1: lot of these athletes, they like to talk about the
6:50
Speaker 1: man in the arena that matters. It's the man in
6:54
Speaker 1: the arena. It's not you, it didn't matter, No, No, it's
6:57
Speaker 1: the man in the arena. Okay, Yeah. In my experience,
7:03
Speaker 1: my experience is that the critic is the Chevron Premium
7:09
Speaker 1: gasoline with tech run. That is the critic that fuels
7:14
Speaker 1: the entire industrial complex of sports. Now, I've gotten on
7:18
Speaker 1: my soapbox before and stood atop the bully pulpit and
7:22
Speaker 1: ranted about that. But they'd certainly go the extra mile.
7:25
Speaker 1: The critic that inspires the athlete, and you see it
7:28
Speaker 1: every time somebody wins. They didn't think we could do it.
7:32
Speaker 1: They didn't believe in us. We proved them wrong. We
7:35
Speaker 1: proved them wrong. And it's a if the critic is
7:39
Speaker 1: not there, what happens. It's like a human being without bones.
7:45
Speaker 1: You're not long for the world, right, You got no edge.
7:48
Speaker 1: There's no juice, none of that. And this is what
7:51
Speaker 1: athletes have done for my entire life. They invite the Boogeyman.
7:58
Speaker 1: But it's a fake boogeyman, not a real boogeyman's fake book.
8:01
Speaker 1: Because the boogeyman's fake unless it's real, and if it's real,
8:04
Speaker 1: we're all screwed. But they invite a fake boogeyman in reality,
8:10
Speaker 1: you know that gives them enough juice, unless it doesn't.
8:14
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of gray area, all right. Now. Secondly,
8:17
Speaker 1: we go to Jersey where Jets quarterback Justin Fields discussed
8:22
Speaker 1: facing Aaron Rogers in one of the games this weekend.
8:26
Speaker 1: Rogers now playing for the Steelers, former Jet and little trade,
8:31
Speaker 1: little transaction. There wasn't actually a trade, but Justin Fields
8:34
Speaker 1: was in Pittsburgh, he said of the week one matchup.
8:37
Speaker 1: Justin Fields quote, there's no storyline for me. He shrugged
8:41
Speaker 1: his shoulders and told reporters it's ball for me. That's
8:44
Speaker 1: what I say too. When I get a call from
8:47
Speaker 1: our boss, I say, it's just ball for me. I'm
8:49
Speaker 1: just in it for the ball. That's it, Field said,
8:52
Speaker 1: is ball for me. So I'll let you guys. You
8:56
Speaker 1: guys kind of handle the storylines, the news lines and
9:01
Speaker 1: stuff like that. In the locker room. We just keep
9:04
Speaker 1: it straight balls. You just feel the testosterone here that
9:09
Speaker 1: straight ball. I'm going here in my chest right now
9:12
Speaker 1: hearing that boy straight ball. Man. All right, So question,
9:16
Speaker 1: how do you categorize Jets quarterback Justin Field's claiming that
9:21
Speaker 1: he is not not a storyline going against his former team,
9:26
Speaker 1: these stealers. So, after a minute long deliberation, the jury
9:31
Speaker 1: of the Malad Militia has determined that this is correct
9:36
Speaker 1: on a technicality. That is a technicality, and a win
9:40
Speaker 1: is someone say a TKO. But it's the media's job
9:44
Speaker 1: under this scenario, it's the media's job here to cook
9:48
Speaker 1: up storylines. That's the job. Like buttered popcorn. You have
9:53
Speaker 1: to cook up the storylines. And his job is to
9:57
Speaker 1: play ball, and he's playing ball and he's not the storyline. However, however,
10:06
Speaker 1: he is in the storyline. Let me explain. So Fields
10:13
Speaker 1: is the subplot. If you look at your storyboard. We're
10:16
Speaker 1: in the writer's room right now, so if you look
10:18
Speaker 1: at your storyboard from the NFL writers department, so you
10:21
Speaker 1: look at the first scene, is Aaron Rodgers grizzled the
10:25
Speaker 1: veteran It didn't work out with the Jets, will things
10:28
Speaker 1: be different with the iconic Pittsburgh Steelers. He runs out
10:31
Speaker 1: on the field, Hopefully he doesn't pop an achilles like
10:33
Speaker 1: he did right after he ran out with the American
10:35
Speaker 1: flag his first year with the Jets, which was embarrassing.
10:39
Speaker 1: So so Fields, then he's the second act in this like,
10:43
Speaker 1: he's the subplot, as we said, and really could become
10:48
Speaker 1: the headline if the Jets end up winning the game.
10:51
Speaker 1: It depends on the outcome. The outcome will determine what
10:54
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline is. Now. Nevertheless, let's not pretend. Let
10:57
Speaker 1: us not pretend that this is a situation where it's
11:00
Speaker 1: not a revenge game dipped in extra drama sauce. It's
11:06
Speaker 1: getting saucy in here. It is right. The NFL did
11:09
Speaker 1: not schedule the Jets versus the Steelers because it was
11:13
Speaker 1: your random run of the mill game. No, this was
11:15
Speaker 1: a it was not by accident. It was not by accident.
11:19
Speaker 1: They knew what they were doing. They were tipped off
11:22
Speaker 1: that Rogers was going to go to Pittsburgh months in advance,
11:26
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields ended up going the other way to
11:30
Speaker 1: the Jets. And so like a Hollywood producer casting Fields
11:35
Speaker 1: and Rogers in a freaky Friday quarterback swap, which is
11:41
Speaker 1: not on a Friday. So Fields is playing it cool.
11:45
Speaker 1: We say he's doing the old Teddy Roosevelt, the old
11:47
Speaker 1: president there talk softly, carry a big stick, that kind
11:50
Speaker 1: of thing, which normally does not work that well. Yet
11:53
Speaker 1: if he goes out Justin Fields and torches the terrible
11:58
Speaker 1: towels on Sunday, then you better believe dollars to donuts.
12:03
Speaker 1: He will be bouncing off the walls like a caffeinated
12:06
Speaker 1: Kanga route as Ozzie was would say in cleats, hoppity
12:12
Speaker 1: hoppity hop all over the place. Now, why he was
12:15
Speaker 1: staying and he had the back bedroom in Mike Tomlin's doghouse.
12:24
Speaker 1: He was right in the doghouse, and he was the
12:27
Speaker 1: starting quarterback because Russell Wilson was hurt. And then Russell
12:31
Speaker 1: Wilson took over, and then Russ started to puke all
12:34
Speaker 1: over himself. He had diarrhea also, and Mike Tomlin said, no, no, no,
12:39
Speaker 1: we're going to go back to We're going to go
12:40
Speaker 1: back to russ We're not putting Fields back in. And
12:44
Speaker 1: Tomlin called the split mutual. That's a word he used, mutual.
12:50
Speaker 1: That's not mutual. Maybe mutual of omaha, but that's not mutual.
12:53
Speaker 1: When people look back at Justin Field's time in Pittsburgh
12:57
Speaker 1: in years from now, you look back, a lot of
13:00
Speaker 1: people won't even remember he played for the Steelers. But
13:02
Speaker 1: those that do, it's just blip on the radar, just
13:05
Speaker 1: a little blip blippity blip blip blip. All right. Now,
13:08
Speaker 1: final thought to the business of football, we go. For
13:13
Speaker 1: the first time, the NFL has added a new uniform feature.
13:21
Speaker 1: What is it? It turns out that the most valuable
13:24
Speaker 1: player of the NFL and all the players, all the
13:29
Speaker 1: players of the year that won the hardware that made
13:31
Speaker 1: for television annoying award show that they do around the
13:35
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, all of them will get to wear a
13:38
Speaker 1: super special gold shield patch. A gold shield patch. The
13:46
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four honorees that includes Josh Allen. Here we go,
13:52
Speaker 1: Buffalo Eagles running back Sakwon Barkley offensive Player of the Year,
13:56
Speaker 1: will see that in the game tomorrow night in Philly.
14:00
Speaker 1: The Broncos defensive back Patrick Certained the second there defensive
14:05
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, and you had Commander's quarterback Jaden
14:08
Speaker 1: Daniels offensive Rookie of the Year and the Rams linebacker
14:12
Speaker 1: Jared Verse, who was the defensive Rookie of the Year
14:16
Speaker 1: last year. So all of them will have gold shield patches.
14:20
Speaker 1: Whoop the damn do yes, I'll be on there five
14:26
Speaker 1: five jerseys, So those five players will have that gold
14:29
Speaker 1: patch right there through the entirety of the season, beginning
14:32
Speaker 1: in that game between Philly and Dallas on Thursday night.
14:36
Speaker 1: So does this NFL gold shield patch addition to the uniform?
14:41
Speaker 1: Does it move the needle? Because you know we are fashionistas.
14:46
Speaker 1: We are we're on the catwalk and we're doing the
14:49
Speaker 1: pirouette on the cat walking on. So this is a
14:51
Speaker 1: classic case of NFL dressing, window dressing from the NFL.
14:58
Speaker 1: It's a little razzled. Damn, a little razza if you're
15:02
Speaker 1: a jersey junkie. I used to be a big collector
15:05
Speaker 1: back in the day. I haven't really done that in
15:08
Speaker 1: a long time. But that was a point in my
15:09
Speaker 1: life where I was in that world and I was
15:13
Speaker 1: a memorabilia maniac. I'm not that that guy right now,
15:18
Speaker 1: but Josh Allen Barkley, as certain Daniels versus all those
15:22
Speaker 1: guys will be dressed like they are walking into a
15:26
Speaker 1: royal galap and instead of a goal line stand, they'll
15:30
Speaker 1: be all aduled up and all that stuff. So let's
15:32
Speaker 1: call it what it is. This uniform adjustment is a
15:37
Speaker 1: marketing mirage, is what it is. It is a bedazzled
15:41
Speaker 1: badge of honor. You are bedazzled little gold there and
15:46
Speaker 1: uh yeah, look at me. It just screams, look at mate,
15:50
Speaker 1: look at me. There was a time for years in
15:54
Speaker 1: the NFL, everyone's got to dress the same. The uniform.
15:58
Speaker 1: Gestapo's out there before the game, got their little clipboard
16:01
Speaker 1: out and they're jotting down which player is not wearing
16:04
Speaker 1: the uniform. The socks aren't the right way, and that's
16:06
Speaker 1: a five thousand dollars fine. And this is not right.
16:09
Speaker 1: You picked your nose. That's worth ten grand, just the
16:12
Speaker 1: whole thing, and you get fifteen thousand if you pick
16:15
Speaker 1: your nose and don't get a booger that's a fifteen
16:17
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Fine, it's only ten thousand if you get
16:20
Speaker 1: a booger out of your nose. But it's gonna be
16:23
Speaker 1: Look at me, I've got the gold thing on there,
16:25
Speaker 1: and I'll be much louder than the drunk in the
16:30
Speaker 1: third row who's screaming and desperately trying to get on
16:34
Speaker 1: television during a blowout. So for me, it's not moving
16:38
Speaker 1: the needle. This is not for me. Though I realized
16:40
Speaker 1: this is not for me, but it's not really moving
16:41
Speaker 1: the needle at all. The NFL's version of giving out
16:45
Speaker 1: gold stars in kindergarten or a nice puffy sticker. That's it, right, cute. Yeah,
16:52
Speaker 1: does it make a big impact. Maybe you show your friends,
16:56
Speaker 1: You might show your parents if they come by. But
16:59
Speaker 1: this isn't This is not about enhancing the product, obviously
17:02
Speaker 1: it's not. It's about inflating the aura. So we live
17:06
Speaker 1: in the ear of the aura. It's all about the aura.
17:08
Speaker 1: And you think Sekwan Barkley's gonna stiff arm someone a
17:11
Speaker 1: little stronger because he's got this little patch thing, or
17:15
Speaker 1: Jared Versa, the Rams is gonna go out there against
17:17
Speaker 1: the Texans. This weekend and tackle better because he's got
17:20
Speaker 1: that gold glisten from the bedazzled thing on his jersey there,
17:24
Speaker 1: and he's gonna go out there like he's got a
17:26
Speaker 1: Grammy trophy on his chest and all that. No, the
17:30
Speaker 1: patch will have the same effect on gameplay as the
17:36
Speaker 1: puffy Hello Kiddy sticker on a playbook. If you put
17:41
Speaker 1: that on a playbook, the same thing that. Regardless, here's
17:43
Speaker 1: the rub on this. It does play well in that
17:47
Speaker 1: memorabilia mark and the NFL makes a lot of money
17:50
Speaker 1: off that. So now, if you're a jersey collector, you
17:53
Speaker 1: got to go out and buy a patch or buy
17:57
Speaker 1: the jersey. Right, collector is already salivating like Pavlov's dogs,
18:03
Speaker 1: very excited the next card convention, next memorabilia collection. The
18:08
Speaker 1: patch turns a jersey into a nice investment because it's
18:12
Speaker 1: a special jersey. You get all five because this is
18:15
Speaker 1: the first year you're doing it, and then you can
18:17
Speaker 1: sell it on eBay and all that stuff. But it's
18:19
Speaker 1: a tip of the cap, if you will, to the
18:23
Speaker 1: cardboard officient natos that are out there and the people
18:28
Speaker 1: collect the autographs and all that stuff. So there you go.
18:31
Speaker 1: You can build a shrine and add these patches to
18:34
Speaker 1: your shrine. And it is the Ben Mahler Show. If
18:36
