Speaker 1: forward parts of the show you don't want. I'm not
0:21
Speaker 1: supposed to say that, but if you're motivated, you can
0:24
Speaker 1: do that. I think you should just listen to the
0:26
Speaker 1: commercials and fast forward this part of the podcast. That's
0:29
Speaker 1: what I think. But anyway, here in our number four,
0:33
Speaker 1: buckle up, Bukaroo, is there something? Is there anything to
0:39
Speaker 1: these now debunked Dak Prescott trade rumors? We'll discuss that. Also,
0:44
Speaker 1: how would you translate brock Perties place in the NFL
0:48
Speaker 1: quarterback pecking order? And what's really going on between the
0:53
Speaker 1: Titans and cam Ward. We'll talk about all that and more.
0:57
Speaker 1: Right now here it is our number four. Have a
1:02
Speaker 1: wonderful Thursday, Enjoy opening day in baseball. Here it is

2:19
Speaker 1: Show be so headline Redmeat, Lions, Dan the Wild rumor
2:29
Speaker 1: de joor to feed the Beast. The twenty four hour
2:34
Speaker 1: NFL news cycle comes out of Cleveland, a former sports
2:40
Speaker 1: radio gasbag who is now a social media influencer dropping
2:45
Speaker 1: a bomb on you regarding the Browns and the Cowboys
2:51
Speaker 1: having discussions and working on the outline of a trade
2:56
Speaker 1: that would send Dakota Prescott to the Mistake by the Lake. So,
3:01
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this or not. Maybe not.
3:04
Speaker 1: This thing went around and by the time I woke up,
3:10
Speaker 1: it had already been debunked or somewhat debunked. The reports
3:16
Speaker 1: were bouncing around that the teams were engaged in talks
3:20
Speaker 1: and very dramatic Shakespearean drama, and then state funded NFL network,
3:27
Speaker 1: the prov of the news service of the National Football League,
3:31
Speaker 1: reported that they had two sources because they worked for
3:35
Speaker 1: the NFL, that claimed it was fake news and that
3:39
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott will absolutely not be headed to northern Ohio.
3:46
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, even though that trade
3:50
Speaker 1: was debunked for now by state funded NFL media, is
3:56
Speaker 1: there something to Dak Prescott trade rumors? Now, this one's
4:01
Speaker 1: been debunked, But is there something with Dak Prescott and
4:04
Speaker 1: a trade that is possible? So I've got Disney, the
4:10
Speaker 1: Beg's and Electrician and we will combine all of these
4:17
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to recharge your batteries.
4:21
Speaker 1: I know, how nice is that? And then we'll make
4:23
Speaker 1: a banana cream pie. We'll have some gaba ghul and
4:26
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, all right, So to kick off this hour,
4:30
Speaker 1: to answer the question, is there's something to the Dak
4:33
Speaker 1: Prescott trade rumors? I am nodding my head, Yes, I
4:37
Speaker 1: am nodding my ears. Now not to Cleveland, per se,
4:42
Speaker 1: not to Cleveland, Dak. I believe it's salary cap number,
4:45
Speaker 1: and I'm a salary cap truther, but his salary cap
4:47
Speaker 1: numbers like fifty three million. Cleveland is already paying Deshaun
4:52
Speaker 1: Watson to not play thirty seven million. So using my
4:56
Speaker 1: malor math, that would be a total of ninety million
5:01
Speaker 1: dollars for the quarterback position, which I don't think is
5:06
Speaker 1: a lot. Even with the salary cap being something you
5:09
Speaker 1: can manipulate, I'm pretty sure methinks you can't manipulate it
5:14
Speaker 1: that much. Nevertheless, Dak's name is out there, it's being
5:20
Speaker 1: talked about, it's being floated in private signal group chats.
5:24
Speaker 1: And here's why, right, you have the public private economy.
5:29
Speaker 2: Now.
5:29
Speaker 1: Publicly, the Cowboys love Dak Prescott. That's my quarterback, man.
5:34
Speaker 1: They jump up and down raw Rod, Dak. We can't
5:37
Speaker 1: get it and we'd love you, Dak, oh man, they can't
5:39
Speaker 1: get enough. And privately, you have a more nuanced approach
5:45
Speaker 1: with every one of these players.
5:47
Speaker 3: Right.
5:48
Speaker 1: Executives love to dismiss hypotheticals. Now. Back in the day,
5:53
Speaker 1: when I was in locker rooms and interviewing athletes and
5:56
Speaker 1: coaches and executives. Anytime you would bring something up that
6:01
Speaker 1: hadn't happened yet, they would lose their mind and say, well,
6:05
Speaker 1: I don't talk about hypotheticals. Well, all I do as
6:08
Speaker 1: a talk show host is talk about hypotheticals. And what
6:11
Speaker 1: they do behind the scenes is talk about hypotheticals. Every man, woman,
6:17
Speaker 1: and child knows this. They are the secret spice that
6:22
Speaker 1: eventually leads to a trade. Now that it's like planting
6:24
Speaker 1: a seed. Now not everything your plant's going to grow
6:28
Speaker 1: up and be great, but you plant the seed and
6:30
Speaker 1: some of that turns into a trade. You have to
6:33
Speaker 1: work as a Disney imagineer imagining, if you will, different scenarios,
6:40
Speaker 1: all of them possible outcomes to be explored. So you
6:44
Speaker 1: have those what ifs. You have to evaluate the what ifs,
6:47
Speaker 1: contingencies assessed as well. All of that. You're got to
6:53
Speaker 1: see all the different possibilities and whatnot. And now, what
6:57
Speaker 1: is my ownis the Dallas map I know it's a
7:00
Speaker 1: basketball team. Just bear with me. If you had gone
7:04
Speaker 1: up to Nico Harrison Jason Kidd, the owner of the Mavericks,
7:11
Speaker 1: and said, hey, there's this hypothetical trade. It's not really
7:16
Speaker 1: a trade. You'll just give Luka Donzik away for some
7:19
Speaker 1: moldy brand. And they said, well, I don't talk about that,
7:23
Speaker 1: but we would never do that. That's the most absurd.
7:25
Speaker 1: What are you a sports talk radio person? What's wrong
7:29
Speaker 1: with you? They would say, all right, So anyway, that's it.
7:33
Speaker 1: I now page number two. Can I get a number?
7:36
Speaker 1: Where's the Lepreka? Number two? All right, So to the
7:43
Speaker 1: Bay Area we go. Forty nine Ers quarterback brock Perty.
7:47
Speaker 1: Now he does not have a new contract, so calm down,
7:51
Speaker 1: Lance the bus driver, Mason, the Millennial, and all your
7:53
Speaker 1: other knuckleheads. So brock Party does not have a new deal. However,
7:58
Speaker 1: there's some new reporting out that says he is unlikely
8:02
Speaker 1: to usurp Dakota Prescott, the aforementioned Dakota Prescott and his contract,
8:10
Speaker 1: which is a I believe still the record at sixty
8:13
Speaker 1: million dollars per year. So the way it's been passed
8:16
Speaker 1: on to us, and this comes from a man that
8:20
Speaker 1: enjoys a nice latte and a verbal disagreement at a Starbucks,
8:25
Speaker 1: mister Schultz. So the forty nine ers are actively negotiating
8:29
Speaker 1: an extension and they're trying to get this done. I
8:33
Speaker 1: don't know what the problem is. If somebody wants to
8:35
Speaker 1: pay me the amount of money that he's going to
8:38
Speaker 1: be paid, I think you'd get that done one right.
8:39
Speaker 1: But the contract is supposed to be fifty to fifty
8:42
Speaker 1: five million for brock Purty. Oh my oh man, yeah,
8:47
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty five million. So how do you translate
8:52
Speaker 1: brock Purty's place in the NFL quarterback pecking order? Realizing
8:58
Speaker 1: that he has not signed the contract. We don't know
9:01
Speaker 1: the numbers. It's just in the negotiation phase. So we're
9:05
Speaker 1: gonna try to get out in front on this and
9:08
Speaker 1: then hit on all cylinders. So it's like a beg
9:14
Speaker 1: sung When I look at brock Purty, he's the man
9:18
Speaker 1: in the middle, meaning if you look at the the
9:21
Speaker 1: totem pole of quarterbacks, the ones at the very top
9:25
Speaker 1: that are show boating because they're so good, and then
9:28
Speaker 1: the ones at the bottom that are riding the vomit comet,
9:32
Speaker 1: and then in the middle, the man in the middle,
9:34
Speaker 1: like brock Purty. He's the new Kirk Cousins. He's Jared
9:39
Speaker 1: Goff is what he is, and pretty benefited from what's
9:43
Speaker 1: known as the Alice in Wonderland syndrome that objects are
9:48
Speaker 1: smaller than they appear. Sometimes objects are bigger than they appear.
9:52
Speaker 1: And brock Purty played at a very efficient level to
9:56
Speaker 1: begin and this is like a bit of a contradition because, well,
9:59
Speaker 1: he played, well, you are what your numbers say, you
10:01
Speaker 1: are okay. But Kyle Shanahan, while his team's generally choking
10:07
Speaker 1: big games, they put up good numbers. He's got a
10:10
Speaker 1: very quarterback friendly offensive system. And when brock Purty had
10:16
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle and Deebo Samuel and they
10:20
Speaker 1: were all healthy, brock Purty was putting up numbers that
10:23
Speaker 1: had him in the conversation for MVP. Well, Deebo Samuel's gone,
10:27
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's back to getting hurt, and George Kittle's old. And
10:30
Speaker 1: so that inflated perception of his ability is a dated perception.
10:38
Speaker 1: And as we saw last season, when the forty nine
10:41
Speaker 1: ers were ravaged by injuries, they were left for dead.
10:45
Speaker 1: And at that point the Niners said, we need brock
10:48
Speaker 1: Purty to play just a little bit better, We need
10:50
Speaker 1: him to step his game up. And brock Purty, he
10:54
Speaker 1: bent over and he vomited on the field. His completion percentage,
11:01
Speaker 1: his yards per attempt declined. Brock Party is a Jared
11:06
Speaker 1: Goff type game manager, the kind of guy that you
11:09
Speaker 1: think is all right, and then at some point you
11:12
Speaker 1: know they'll be a glitch. The thing of a jig's
11:15
Speaker 1: not gonna work, the wheels are gonna come off, and
11:19
Speaker 1: you're done, and it's this stupid cat and mouse game.
11:22
Speaker 1: And as a backer of the Rams, I hope the
11:25
Speaker 1: Niners lock up Rock Party because it's not gonna end
11:30
Speaker 1: very well. It's not. And I know Terry and England
11:34
Speaker 1: and these other dopes, they're like, oh, no, you're wrong, Mether,
11:36
Speaker 1: you don't do I'm not. He's not a game changer.
11:39
Speaker 1: He's not someone that transcends whatever situation he's in. And
11:46
Speaker 1: so he's a mid level doesn't have a great particular
11:50
Speaker 1: arm per se, and doesn't do anything if the play's broke. Hey,
11:56
Speaker 1: they circle the drake, is what I'm trying to say.
12:00
Speaker 1: They're in the mud all right. Now, last thing where
12:03
Speaker 1: Mahomes or regular season Lamar Jackson or regular season Josh
12:07
Speaker 1: Allen will make something happen. Now to the NFL Draft.
12:11
Speaker 1: We are less than thirty days away from the draft.
12:14
Speaker 1: Can I get a hallelujah. We are less than thirty
12:17
Speaker 1: days away from the NFL Draft. Now there is chatter, chatter, chatter,
12:23
Speaker 1: chatter that the forty nine ers opponent, I think they're
12:27
Speaker 1: playing the Titans this year. I want to tie this
12:30
Speaker 1: all together. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but the Tennessee Titans,
12:33
Speaker 1: who who don't have a quarterback, and they were so bad,
12:37
Speaker 1: they got a lucky break. A couple of teams won
12:40
Speaker 1: games late in the year that weren't supposed to win games,
12:42
Speaker 1: and so the Titans ended up Tennessee ended up with
12:44
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, right there at the top.
12:49
Speaker 1: And it has become in recent days a rumble in
12:55
Speaker 1: the insider jungle where people said, well, it's going to
12:59
Speaker 1: be cam Ward. Cam Ward, the Miami quarterback is going
13:03
Speaker 1: to be picked at the very top of the draft. However,
13:08
Speaker 1: there are reports out of Nashville saying that while cam
13:13
Speaker 1: Ward is likely the number one pick, the Niners are
13:18
Speaker 1: nighters the Titans. The Titans are expected to listen to offers, right,
13:24
Speaker 1: listen to offers for that top pick. However, right however,
13:29
Speaker 1: the report and Adam Schefter and some of the other
13:32
Speaker 1: weasels are throwing this out there that it would take
13:35
Speaker 1: an even stronger package to acquire cam Ward. All right,
13:41
Speaker 1: so what's really going on? What's really going on here
13:46
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans and cam Ward? So what we
13:50
Speaker 1: have here is a failure to communicate. We have mixed
13:55
Speaker 1: messages which I believe are intentional, right, contradictory statement. You've
14:02
Speaker 1: got the Tennessee Front Office, the GM there who's working
14:05
Speaker 1: as an electrician crossing the wires, a bad electrician crossing
14:10
Speaker 1: the wires, and Tennessee's looking to spark a bidding war.
14:16
Speaker 1: You know it, I know it. Everyone knows they're trying
14:20
Speaker 1: to sell cam Ward. That they have these puppy dog
14:24
Speaker 1: eyes and they're going gaga for the player. But here's
14:31
Speaker 1: the problem, right, They're trying to get the Browns and
14:33
Speaker 1: Giants worked up into a lather, getting them all horny
14:36
Speaker 1: for cam Ward. Here's the issue. If this guy was
14:40
Speaker 1: a generational transcendent talent, and you have the number one
14:45
Speaker 1: tick and you don't have a quarterback, the guy you
14:48
Speaker 1: have a quarterback eats Mayo and sells Mayo, and he
14:51
Speaker 1: loves Mayo, and he's more known as the Mayo guy
14:53
Speaker 1: than anything else. So if that's the case, and cam
14:57
Speaker 1: Ward is that good and you're building him into this amazing, omnipresent,
15:02
Speaker 1: all powerful, all knowing figure. You would never trade him,
15:06
Speaker 1: you would never do it. And so the reality is
15:09
Speaker 1: cam Ward, as we have been saying, has a large,
15:13
Speaker 1: soft underbelly. And it's not Miss Sunshine all the time.
15:18
Speaker 1: There's a lot of dumb and gloom and all that.
15:20
Speaker 1: And it's not like dollar for dollar, you're getting a
15:25
Speaker 1: guy to just give another billion dollar contract to because
15:29
Speaker 1: he can be there forever. Now maybe he'll make it
15:31
Speaker 1: and turn out to be good. He's not a transcendent talent.
15:33
Speaker 1: He's not generational. And in a normal year he would
15:37
Speaker 1: be a second round pick or a late first round pick,
15:41
Speaker 1: and because quarterbacks are always overdrafted, he's looking at being
15:46
Speaker 1: the number one pick. The Titans are trying to take
15:49
Speaker 1: advantage of this neurosis involving quarterbacks, and they want the bag,
15:54
Speaker 1: They want the bag of goodies? And will they get it?
15:57
Speaker 1: Will they sucker with skulduggery one of these other teams
16:02
Speaker 1: to trade them a bunch of picks. We'll see about that.
16:05
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. It is the Ben Malor Show, the Ben

24:33
Speaker 1: go to Blind Scott, who's on the north end of Boston.
24:37
Speaker 1: Blind Scott sent me an email complaining about all the
24:40
Speaker 1: radio people taking time off. He's annoyed by this. He
24:44
Speaker 1: says it's messing up his calling to different radio shows.
24:47
Speaker 1: Is that accurate, Blind Scott?
24:49
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Like I really think people have lives outside
24:53
Speaker 5: the radio that work on these shows. And I'm bothering
24:56
Speaker 5: these hosts like they have keen ages and stuff that
24:58

27:49
Speaker 1: I gotta go, Thank you. The alloted time is up
27:52
Speaker 1: for the gentleman from the North end of Boston. We'll
27:54
Speaker 1: move on from me. Let's say hello to Bob in Cleveland.
27:58
Speaker 1: Who is next? Hello, Bob? What's going on? Bob? Welcome? Hi?
28:02
Speaker 8: Bet?
28:02
Speaker 3: How are you?
28:03
Speaker 1: Bob? If I was any better, I would be a Brown,
28:07
Speaker 1: but not a Cleveland Brown because you know.
28:09
Speaker 9: Hopefully without the ex prescott. But anyway, you had a
28:14
Speaker 9: caller on that as a Dodger fan, and he explained
28:20
Speaker 9: rather kind of lamely about the committed bounce text that
28:24
Speaker 9: the pirates got over two hundred million dollars from this arrangement,
28:28
Speaker 9: and he's wrong. JJ Cooper the Baseball America wrote or
28:35
Speaker 9: very lengthy article about the difficulty some of these smaller
28:38
Speaker 9: market teams have even competing today, and you pretty much
28:42
Speaker 9: had to be a billionaire to run one of these clubs.
28:46
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, okay, well what's what's the problem though? If
28:51
Speaker 1: you why don't you draft well? And there are ways.
28:55
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay doesn't spend any money. They've been a consistent
28:57
Speaker 1: playoff team. They made a World Series one.
29:00
Speaker 9: That's one of the things that these teams need to do.
29:03
Speaker 9: I'm not backing the Pirates on They're horrible drafting over
29:07
Speaker 9: the years.
29:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I get annoyed when people call up and
29:11
Speaker 1: there they want to defend crap bag franchises. They have
29:14
Speaker 1: owners that a lot of these owners just keep they
29:17
Speaker 1: make you make a lot of the Pirates make a
29:19
Speaker 1: lot of money. You don't think the Pirates and the
29:20
Speaker 1: Marlins and the Athletics are making a lot of dollars.
29:23
Speaker 6: Read the article by J. J. Cooper.
29:25
Speaker 9: The Pirates lost two million dollars last year even with
29:27
Speaker 9: their craft roster.
29:29
Speaker 1: You know how it works. You know how this works.
29:32
Speaker 1: You understand, like the projection is, Hey, the Pirates say
29:35
Speaker 1: we're going to make ten million dollars this year. We
29:38
Speaker 1: only made eight million. We lost two million based on
29:40
Speaker 1: our project. That's with a number one. If you think
29:45
Speaker 1: the whole, if you think the Pittsburgh Pirates, if you think,
29:48
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is, I know that guy.
29:50
Speaker 1: I don't know that guy from Lampost.
29:52
Speaker 10: But if you think the Pirates, if you think the
29:55
Speaker 10: Pirates are losing money, how come every time a baseball
29:59
Speaker 10: team go for sale there's fifty billionaires line up to
30:02
Speaker 10: buy them, even the suck franchises, and they're nobody's going
30:06
Speaker 10: to do that.
30:07
Speaker 1: They're losing money. Why would they do that? It makes
30:10
Speaker 1: no sense.
30:11
Speaker 9: With the Boston Celtics, the Boss and Celtics won the
30:14
Speaker 9: NBA title last year. His skyrocket is And what did
30:20
Speaker 9: they have to do? What did the owners have to do?
30:23
Speaker 9: They had to sell the team?
30:24
Speaker 1: Well they didn't. They didn't have to sell the team.
30:25
Speaker 1: They chose to say they didn't because they didn't sell.
30:29
Speaker 9: So the cost to own it is just too high.
30:32
Speaker 1: All right. Again, here's the problem, and that's why. And
30:36
Speaker 1: I love you. You're believing a lot of the craft
30:39
Speaker 1: that you're being told. I don't believe it. I think
30:41
Speaker 1: it's not I think it's not.
30:43
Speaker 9: Part of the giants.
30:46
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a way that it's a money grab.
30:49
Speaker 1: You sell as long as you're in control. It's not
30:52
Speaker 1: because they're short on money. They they're not making as
30:55
Speaker 1: much as they used to. If you win, you make
30:56
Speaker 1: more money. Okay, But you can make a lot of
30:59
Speaker 1: money as bad team. And uh, I mean, listen, I
31:03
Speaker 1: don't know how else to tell you, but there's a
31:06
Speaker 1: lot of money to be made owning a bad team.
31:09
Speaker 1: And you get the television revenue, you get the merchandise,
31:12
Speaker 1: it's television revenue.
31:14
Speaker 9: I'm not going to descend the Pirates. The Pirates are
31:16
Speaker 9: a horrible franchise. I'm not going to defend the Pirates.
31:18
Speaker 9: But you can't compare the New York Yankees TV revenue
31:21
Speaker 9: to the Pittsford Pirates.
31:22
Speaker 3: You just can't.
31:24
Speaker 1: Okay, all right again, we disagree. You think you think
31:27
Speaker 1: that all these give me the list of baseball teams
31:30
Speaker 1: that have gone bankrupt because they can't compete financially. There
31:34
Speaker 1: has there ever been has there ever been a in
31:37
Speaker 1: modern times? Has there been a baseball team that has
31:39
Speaker 1: gone bankrupt because there they just can't compete with the
31:43
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Yankees and all that. Owning a team.
31:46
Speaker 9: When loans out so they don't go bank.
31:49
Speaker 1: Okay again, Uh it is. It's like having an ATM
31:53
Speaker 1: machine when you own even a bad you know, small
31:56
Speaker 1: market team whatever. Yeah, it's a license to run a
31:58
Speaker 1: business that allows you to pocket millions of dollars in
32:02
Speaker 1: passive income. And you just put your hands and I
32:05
Speaker 1: can't compete.
32:06
Speaker 9: You get in short, like the competitive the CBA expires
32:11
Speaker 9: in twenty six.
32:13
Speaker 1: You'll probably be a big work stoppage and there'll be
32:16
Speaker 1: holy hell and all that. The teams like the Pirates
32:19
Speaker 1: and the complain and I gotta I gotta leave it there, Bob.
32:23
Speaker 1: But thank you call anytime. I don't care, I can,
32:26
Speaker 1: I can spa back and forth. We can go about that.
32:29
Speaker 1: But yeah, uh listen, these teams, Oh we're feeling the
32:34
Speaker 1: budget squeeze and all that. Well, yeah, you're you're counting pennies,
32:38
Speaker 1: is what you are. But there's a lot of rich
32:41
Speaker 1: guys that are tight wads when it comes to these
32:43
Speaker 1: sports teams, and and there's a lot of fans that
32:48
Speaker 1: buy everything they're told and never use any creative thinking
32:55
Speaker 1: shall we say or or ask any questions like is
32:58
Speaker 1: that really what's going on here? Yeah? Anyway, all right,
33:02
Speaker 1: it is the Ben Malors Show. Let's say hello to

Speaker 1: the most expensive opening day ticket on the secondary market today? No,

Speaker 1: you don't. It's the Giants and the Reds in Cincinnati.
33:22
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty nine bucks for the Giants and Reds.
33:26
Speaker 1: These Tigers, Tigers, Tigers, and Dodgers. Second most expensive on
33:34
Speaker 1: the secondary market one hundred and thirty eight bucks, and
33:37
Speaker 1: the cheapest is the Blue Jays. It's like twelve years. Yeah,
33:44
Speaker 1: this is the part you talk.
33:46
Speaker 7: I'm starting to say, speaking of finances by low and
33:49
Speaker 7: sale high does not mean stale make a sale while
33:52
Speaker 7: under the employment of hard narcotics, because I'm usually I
33:55
Speaker 7: take losses for sure that way. Well, dude, all right there, stunning,
34:01
Speaker 7: stunning right there, Ron Scott Doron Scott. He doesn't want
34:05
Speaker 7: to acknowledge that our normal people doing normal things in

Speaker 7: normal life, and that's going to make the show occasionally.
34:11
Speaker 7: But yeah, we'll freak out if you don't acknowledge that
34:13
Speaker 7: he's a woman, which he's not. It teches any communions
34:15
