Speaker 2: to prime time.
0:10
Speaker 1: That's right, prime time.
0:13
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders grumbling at Colorado about college football.
0:17
Speaker 1: Needing a salary cap. How does that sound to you?
0:21
Speaker 2: Also, what do you make of Deon Sanders failing to
0:23
Speaker 2: address his health status, didn't want to talk about it?
0:27
Speaker 2: And which side of the aisle do you fall on?
0:29
Speaker 2: In the NFL with quarterback Michael Pennex Junior saying that
0:33
Speaker 2: making the playoffs that's all you have to do to
0:36
Speaker 2: have a successful season. If you're the Falcons, not winning
0:39
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, not getting to the NFC Championship Game,
0:42
Speaker 2: just waltz through the regular season, get in the playoffs
0:45
Speaker 2: and that's all you have to do. We'll talk about
0:47
Speaker 2: that and more right now, give it up for our
0:51
Speaker 2: number three. It's all about the cap. Yeah, no, it's seriously,
0:58
Speaker 2: I'm not making that up.
1:00
Speaker 1: I Am not no welome.
1:05
Speaker 2: In the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mahler Show,
1:09
Speaker 2: we are.
1:10
Speaker 1: In the air ay where that's right.
1:16
Speaker 2: We are just shooting the crap as we serve up
1:20
Speaker 2: a cocktail of sarcasm coast, border to border and beyond.
1:26
Speaker 2: On the vast and wicked powerful microphones of fsr ammundating
1:33
Speaker 2: live from the Cruising as we are cruising for a
1:38
Speaker 2: bruising from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
1:42
Speaker 2: Gumby Dave, longtime p one Gumby Dave from the Sunshine State.
1:48
Speaker 2: This portion of the Ben Malors Show made possible by
1:50
Speaker 2: ti Iraq. For over forty years.
1:53
Speaker 1: Ty Iraq has been helping customers find.
1:55

2:00
Speaker 2: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
2:05
Speaker 2: and convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
2:10
Speaker 2: dot Com, The Way Tire Buying Show.
2:14
Speaker 1: I'd be so our lead this.
2:15
Speaker 2: Hour is from college football, that's right, but it's really
2:20
Speaker 2: just to talk about Dion Sanders.
2:22
Speaker 1: You know.
2:22
Speaker 2: College football is the vehicle that we're using to get
2:25
Speaker 2: to talk about Deon Sanders. So he is the coach
2:27
Speaker 2: at Colorado, and he didn't jump to the Cowboys, he
2:30
Speaker 2: didn't go to the NFL, he didn't leave Colorado, even
2:32
Speaker 2: though his kids are gone. But Deon Sanders is now
2:36
Speaker 2: publicly advocating on the big stage that there must be.
2:42
Speaker 1: A cap, a salary cap. We need the.
2:46
Speaker 2: Cap that's not cap, the cap is not cap. Well,
2:49
Speaker 2: the cap is cap, but that's right anyway. So Dionna's
2:52
Speaker 2: claiming that it would even the playing field, the competitive
2:56
Speaker 2: landscape in college football.
2:59
Speaker 1: Did you did you see this at all?
3:02
Speaker 3: No?
3:02
Speaker 2: All right, So you're speaking at Big twelve media days,
3:07
Speaker 2: never miss him. Sanders, who's now entering his third season
3:11
Speaker 2: already at Colorado, He said that collegiate football is hurt
3:15
Speaker 2: by the unregulated system that they have, player movement, the portal,
3:22
Speaker 2: the finances. He said, I wish there was a cap.
3:26
Speaker 2: Sanders said, it was a coaches round table, like the
3:29
Speaker 2: top of the line players make this, and if you're
3:33
Speaker 2: not that type of guy, you know you're not going
3:35
Speaker 2: to make that.
3:36
Speaker 1: That's what the NFL does.
3:38
Speaker 2: Sanders went on to say the problem is you got
3:41
Speaker 2: guys that are not that darn good. But he could
3:46
Speaker 2: go to another school and they give him a half
3:49
Speaker 2: million dollars. Can't compete with that, went on, complained Sanders
3:53
Speaker 2: pointed out that the college football playoff, he said, will
3:58
Speaker 2: be the same teams that will make the field because
4:01
Speaker 2: they have stronger financial portfolios. Corded Dion, So, let us
4:05
Speaker 2: discuss the question, Dion Sanders grumbling, grumbling, about needing a
4:13
Speaker 2: salary cap in college football? So how does that one?
4:17
Speaker 2: How does that sound to you? So I've got Vineyard, Average,
4:24
Speaker 2: Joe's and Saucy.
4:27
Speaker 1: And we will connect everything together here.
4:30
Speaker 2: We're going to make some rocky Mountain oysters, which I
4:33
Speaker 2: famously ate when I lost a bet evolving the Clippers
4:36
Speaker 2: and the Nuggets years ago. So, first of all, a
4:39
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders. When I saw the quotes I heard the audio,
4:42
Speaker 2: Dion sounds like he knows he's drowning and he would
4:48
Speaker 2: like someone to toss him a floating He would like
4:51
Speaker 2: a lifeline, like he can't keep up with the big
4:54
Speaker 2: bad Southeastern Conference, in the Big Ten, And no matter
4:57
Speaker 2: how much Razzle dazzled Dion, ha, it's not enough. So
5:01
Speaker 2: can we all play the fun sized violin for Dion?
5:06
Speaker 1: Boo freaking who?
5:08
Speaker 2: Right now, Sanders is admitting that you can't keep up.
5:13
Speaker 2: He's getting out muscled, and rather than just find a
5:17
Speaker 2: way to get it done grind a little harder, Dion
5:22
Speaker 2: has now decided I'm gonna take door number two. I
5:24
Speaker 2: am going to belly ache, I am going to complain,
5:28
Speaker 2: I am going to grumble. You see, Dion is visiting
5:31
Speaker 2: the vineyards. And it's not prime time, it's prime wine time.
5:37
Speaker 2: He's whining. He's whining. Now, my position is.
5:41
Speaker 1: Going to surprise might not surprise you, but I believe
5:45
Speaker 1: it will soar.
5:46
Speaker 2: Cap in general is a dumb thing, and it is
5:50
Speaker 2: a pathetic attempt to level the playing field that's never
5:53
Speaker 2: been level and will never be level. College football doesn't
5:57
Speaker 2: want it to be level. You see, the power brokers
6:02
Speaker 2: of college football bring in a huge audience, and they
6:07
Speaker 2: don't want those teams to be marginalized. Every team, every school,
6:12
Speaker 2: every coach. They already have a budget anyway, right And
6:15
Speaker 2: the big schools like Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan used
6:21
Speaker 2: to be when they had a Harboraugh, Notre Dame. These
6:23
Speaker 2: schools are spending like drunken sales. We all agree on
6:27
Speaker 2: that every man won't a child. They're spending like they're
6:30
Speaker 2: you know, on shore on leave because they can't. And
6:34
Speaker 2: they got the cash, they got the clout, they got
6:36
Speaker 2: the cojones, they got all that.
6:38
Speaker 1: And they're doing very well.
6:39
Speaker 2: And the boosters, the donors, the TV money, all that stuff.
6:43
Speaker 2: They got it right up the old wazoo, if you
6:46
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And so they're using it.
6:49
Speaker 1: Good for them, and you know what, that's the game.
6:53
Speaker 2: That's the game. That's the game, my man, that's the game.
6:56
Speaker 2: Now keep in mind that Deon Sanders is being paid
7:00
Speaker 2: ten point.
7:00
Speaker 1: Eight million dollars a year by Colorado. Good for him.
7:04
Speaker 2: He's the fourth highest paid coach in all of college football.
7:10
Speaker 2: And he's acting like the salary camp is this magic
7:14
Speaker 2: placebo that's gonna fix everything, and Colorado is going to
7:19
Speaker 2: go on a run of championships and they just get
7:21
Speaker 2: the they get.
7:22
Speaker 1: The cap in there.
7:23
Speaker 2: Polye Pollice, I say, listen, all right, they're not eating
7:29
Speaker 2: ramen noodles at the at the Colorado Football get together's
7:33
Speaker 2: there in Boulder. The naked truth is this a salary
7:37
Speaker 2: cap is not about fairness.
7:41
Speaker 1: It's about control. The SEC and the Big ten are
7:43
Speaker 1: not going to sit there and.
7:45
Speaker 2: Let some bureaucrat, pencil pushing nerd tell them how to
7:51
Speaker 2: spend their money on football. They will find loopholes, they'll
7:55
Speaker 2: find back channels, and they'll go.
7:57
Speaker 1: Back to shady booster deals with envelopes of cash under
8:01
Speaker 1: the table.
8:03
Speaker 2: And yeah, then Colorado and other schools tampering.
8:06
Speaker 1: It's a tampering violation. Okay, prove it. Prove it.
8:09
Speaker 2: So Dion, of all people, he knows this. You think
8:14
Speaker 2: Dion got some of those envelopes at Florida State.
8:16
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
8:18
Speaker 2: The funny thing about this to me is we did
8:21
Speaker 2: some monologues in the past that Dion had said repeatedly
8:26
Speaker 2: he didn't want the NFL life, he didn't want to
8:29
Speaker 2: coach in the NFL, and he just didn't want anything
8:32
Speaker 2: to do with that. He's been saying that for many,
8:34
Speaker 2: many years. Of course he has to say that because
8:36
Speaker 2: many think he's going to go to the NFL. He's
8:39
Speaker 2: coaching college football, and yet now he wants college to
8:43
Speaker 2: copy the NFL. Really, I thought you didn't want to
8:48
Speaker 2: coach in the NFL, but you want in that regard,
8:50
Speaker 2: you want college football to be a total copy, a
8:54
Speaker 2: carbon copy of the NFL world.
8:57
Speaker 1: Now.
8:57
Speaker 2: Secondly, more prime time, more prime time chatter. So Colorado
9:04
Speaker 2: coach Deon Sanders, he's been away for a while, sounds everywhere.
9:10
Speaker 1: I guess our editors didn't put it in.
9:11
Speaker 2: But Deon Sanders wants to focus on next season. He
9:14
Speaker 2: does not want to talk about his health issues, does
9:17
Speaker 2: not and that was the number one question heading into
9:23
Speaker 2: Big twelve media days, as Deon Sanders missed part of
9:28
Speaker 2: the spring and part of the early summer and all
9:31
Speaker 2: that with the Colorado football team because of some kind
9:34
Speaker 2: of mystery medical issue, but nobody really knows what it was.
9:41
Speaker 2: And so Deon Sanders he did not divulge what happened.
9:47
Speaker 2: He said, Hey, I'm already back back to normal and
9:51
Speaker 2: return to Boulder, you know all that, and prepare for
9:54
Speaker 2: the new year. So what did you make of Dion
9:58
Speaker 2: Sanders failing to dress his health?
10:02
Speaker 1: Can you health status?
10:03
Speaker 2: And the people that were concerned about Deon Sanders' health
10:06
Speaker 2: and all that. So this was, as they say in tennis,
10:10
Speaker 2: an unforced error is what this was. Now Deon Sanders
10:14
Speaker 2: does not owe us his medical records as I.
10:17
Speaker 1: Will do you on that. So satiny, However, when you
10:20
Speaker 1: are the face of a.
10:22
Speaker 2: Major college football program and you all of a sudden
10:27
Speaker 2: vanish from the public life for months. We're talking about
10:33
Speaker 2: from April until July, right and you're missing. You don't
10:37
Speaker 2: show up to the football camps, you don't make appearances,
10:41
Speaker 2: you skip out even the wedding of.
10:45
Speaker 1: The Heisman winning Colorado player, the guy with Jacksonville Hunter.
10:49
Speaker 2: He didn't show up to that because, hey, listen, people
10:52
Speaker 2: are gonna ask questions. And the thing about this is
10:54
Speaker 2: that Dion he knew that question was coming.
10:58
Speaker 1: He absolutely knew that question was coming.
11:00
Speaker 2: He's very media savvy, and yet when the moment arrived,
11:04
Speaker 2: he went.
11:04
Speaker 1: Average Joe's coach.
11:06
Speaker 2: Prime said, I'm gonna go dodgeball instead of disclosure. I'm
11:12
Speaker 2: going dodgeball. Bull junk is what he called it. He
11:15
Speaker 2: called it bull junk. That was his word. He loves
11:18
Speaker 2: that word. He says that word a lot. Rather than cursing.
11:20
Speaker 1: He says bull jump.
11:22
Speaker 2: Not no comment. He didn't say that. He didn't say
11:24
Speaker 2: I'll address that later. Not even a denial.
11:28
Speaker 1: He didn't even.
11:28
Speaker 2: Come up with some kind of bogus story. He didn't
11:31
Speaker 2: spin it. He just wouldn't talk about it. He was
11:34
Speaker 2: just dismissive and played the blame the media card, which
11:38
Speaker 2: was it was weird.
11:40
Speaker 1: It was like vintage primetime charismatic quotable. And then he
11:44
Speaker 1: was evasive. However, when the man.
11:49
Speaker 2: That made college football at Colorado relevant again for the
11:53
Speaker 2: first time in his generation, when he was trying to
11:57
Speaker 2: be real and he refuses to acknowledge refuses to acknowledge
12:02
Speaker 2: the Komodo dragon in the room. It's fair to wonder
12:06
Speaker 2: what the hell else is going on here? He wouldn't
12:10
Speaker 2: even go there, So that either means.
12:13
Speaker 1: There's something really bad, something messed.
12:15
Speaker 2: Up going on, or whatever is going on was bad
12:19
Speaker 2: and he doesn't want anyone to know about it.
12:22
Speaker 1: And yeah, final thought, we pivot now to the NFL.
12:29
Speaker 2: We go, Why we get to parse the words? Get
12:33
Speaker 2: to parse the words of a quarterback who said he's
12:37
Speaker 2: not trying.
12:38
Speaker 1: To win the Super Bowl? Say what?
12:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the NFL training camps are going to be
12:44
Speaker 2: opening up in the next week. Rookies will start reporting
12:47
Speaker 2: the chargers of the first team. I think on I
12:50
Speaker 2: want to say on Sunday, I think that's right.
12:54
Speaker 1: But it's coming up. It's coming up in the next
12:55
Speaker 1: the next few days. So in Atlanta, I don't know
13:00
Speaker 1: if you heard this or not.
13:03
Speaker 2: Maybe not so the Falcons quarterback Michael Pennix Junior talking
13:08
Speaker 2: about what would make a good season in Atlanta.
13:13
Speaker 1: Well, rather than me tell you what he said, let's
13:15
Speaker 1: go to the audio tape. Here we go.
13:18
Speaker 4: It's a successful season for the Atlanta FL because of
13:21
Speaker 4: my dependings the postseason. Oh guy in the postseason seeing
13:25
Speaker 4: like a dirty bird and as like all the little highlights.
13:27
Speaker 1: And fans and it's like, man like a year rocking
13:30
Speaker 1: whenever we win this. So like, I definitely want to
13:32
Speaker 1: get back to that, you know when when win a
13:34
Speaker 1: football game. So he can have a city turnament.
13:37
Speaker 2: All right, that was I guess on a podcast somewhere
13:39
Speaker 2: with a nice music bed playing. But make the postseason,
13:43
Speaker 2: make the make the playoffs is what will make it
13:45
Speaker 2: a successful season. So let's break it down. So which
13:49
Speaker 2: side of the isle? Which side of the aisle do
13:51
Speaker 2: you fall on? You've got Michael Pennix Jr. Saying that
13:55
Speaker 2: just making the postseason will make a successful season with
13:58
Speaker 2: the Falcons.
14:01
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go first, and then you can chime
14:02
Speaker 1: in if you want.
14:03
Speaker 2: I am on the side of Herm as in former
14:06
Speaker 2: Jets coach Herm Edwards. You play to win the game, now,
14:11
Speaker 2: Pennex sounds like Fox Sports Radio alumni member Jim Mora playoffs.
14:18
Speaker 1: I just hope we can win another game.
14:20
Speaker 2: He didn't go Super Bowl, didn't mention an NFC title game,
14:24
Speaker 2: didn't mention winning a playoff game. The standard is the standard,
14:29
Speaker 2: and the standard in Atlanta as well.
14:31
Speaker 1: Win a play you know, I'm win a play game.
14:33
Speaker 1: Just make the play.
14:34
Speaker 2: That is the line that has been drawn. And this
14:37
Speaker 2: is the new face of the dirty Birds, all right,
14:41
Speaker 2: walking into the huddle making the declaration, are playing boys.
14:46
Speaker 2: I just want to tread water. I want to swim anywhere.
14:50
Speaker 2: Just want to tread water. Doesn't that sound absurd? And
14:54
Speaker 2: that sound like a small market type mentality, not a
14:58
Speaker 2: not a big time ment died.
14:59
Speaker 1: It's like, I just want to.
15:01
Speaker 2: Setting the barlow, setting the bar low? How low can
15:06
Speaker 2: you go?
15:06
Speaker 1: How low? I hate it? Who's just to throw away comment? Well, yeah, okay,
15:13
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Tennix was getting saucy.
15:18
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not talking about barbecue sauce or honey mustard sauce.
15:21
Speaker 1: I am talking weak sauce.
15:23
Speaker 2: That is, I want to soften expectations.
15:27
Speaker 1: And it's like, don't expect too much from me, don't
15:31
Speaker 1: do it. Let me kind of ease into this. No,
15:35
Speaker 1: it's not how this works. It's not how any of
15:38
Speaker 1: this works.
15:40
Speaker 2: You don't have that long you got it, maybe a
15:42
Speaker 2: year or two at the possibly more than that if
15:44
Speaker 2: you're lucky, but you're not guaranteed to be the quarterback,
15:47
Speaker 2: and then you're just kind of lolly gugging around. You're
15:50
Speaker 2: supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here
15:54
Speaker 2: talking about the playoffs.
15:56
Speaker 1: Playoffs.
15:57
Speaker 2: You're supposed to elevate the team. You're supposed to have
16:00
Speaker 2: the standard. Hey, we're gonna win the super Bowl. When
16:02
Speaker 2: you think of the Falcons in the postseason, you think
16:06
Speaker 2: of that fateful day years ago when the Atlanta Falcons gagged,
16:12
Speaker 2: they literally died on television against the Patriots in the
16:16
Speaker 2: second half of the Super Bowl. It is the Ben
16:19

16:22
