  Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: All right, so our lead to begin. We're gonna start
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with the grapevine. It is the silly season, and when
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it is the silly season, you must go on a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: rampage and enjoy every little nugget that comes out. So
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we start out deep in the heart of Texas. The
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: plot thickens in Jerry's world. Have you heard the latest
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: on this? Have you been following?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: No?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, good? Good for you? Maybe not. So we've learned
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: now that the Cowboys thought they assumed, you know what
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: happens when you assume they were close to acquiring Raiders
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Edge rusher Max Crosby. That's Max with two xes, not
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: three xes. Max Crosby via a trade this week. However,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: apparently that did not happen because he's Crosby's I've been
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: traded and the other teams have been sniffing around trying
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to get in there. And so now the offers that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the Raiders have are supposedly greater than the Cowboys offer.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And I love that the report said that the offers
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: for Crosby are potentially potentially up to two first round
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: draft picks. So the Cowboys, again this is the scuttle butt,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: have tapped out. They've tossed in the sponge here and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: pivoted to free agent defensive end or as soon to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: be free agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who the Bengals
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: decided they didn't want to pay anymore, and so they
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: got rid of him. Get out of here, you're done.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: We can have the NFL's worst defense without you. We
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: don't need you. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss. There's a lot to this. So the question,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the reporting the Cowboys are bowing out of the Max
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Crosby sweepsteaks, what's that storyline? Tell you? So my thoughts
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on this. I've got QBC Madrid and large yellow sticker,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to pull the pin on an audio grenade,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to dell. Yeah, I know, I know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: all right, so a I like to use the time
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: tested Mallard Schnaz test and do the old smell test.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do that right now. Yeah. So it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: smells like Jerry Jones is doing what Jerry Jones does best.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He wins the off season. You can rip them all
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you want, you can say that what he does is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a throwback to medieval times, but he wins the off season.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The marketing circus under the Big Top fun for all ages,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Come one, come all. Jerry's great at it. Not just
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: an owner, He's a marketing maven, an absolute marketing maven.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The Guide treats the NFL like QVC. Everything is a promotion,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Everything is a teaser trailer. Jerry leaks out, Dallas is out,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the Sharks starts circling. The debate shows start going on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and on about the cowboys. Of course, Jerry don't have
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to say anything for the debate shows to talk about
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the cowboys. Everyone gets all worked into a lather, all
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: worked into a ladder, and suddenly the cowboys are the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: lead story yet again and MaTx Crosby right now is
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: sitting on a folding chair somewhere out there, maybe a table,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I think maybe a chair, sitting on a chair there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And the flea market is open for business. And then
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are walking around and Tom Brady's got his
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: skinny pants on. You get the megaphone out there. Who
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: wants an all pro pass rusher? Come on down, come
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: on down? Right now? Do I hear two first round picks?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: How about two first rounds? The second round pick? Now, somebody.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Here's my theory on this. If somebody met the reserve
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: price for Max Crosby, then he wouldn't be in Vegas.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And I just checked before we cracked the microphones, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he's still he's still with the Raiders, so he hadn't
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: been traded. There's no report of a trade happening, So
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that would mean that that report was wishful thinking. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: they did use the weasel word. Remember this is the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: time of the year pop goes to weasel You got
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to pay attention to weasel words. And so when you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: use words like potentially, right, potentially great weasel word, really
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: solid weasel word, potential. Yeah, it's just outstanding. See throw
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it all together and it hadn't happened in the trade
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of Max Crosby, Say, Jerry, is it possible? Is there
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a world, a dimension in the multiverse where Jerry Jones
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: leaked this out? And the Cowboys they stay in the headlines.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And then it's the art of negotiation via trickeration, the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: old negotiation trickeration, smoke mirrors and a couple of planted
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: stories to useful idiots in the media, and the message
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to Crosby. It's like a dog whistle to Crosby. I'll say, hey, listen,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: if you want to play in Dallas, which is the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Raiders with a different logo on the helmet, then start
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: raising a ruckus in Vegas. You got to create chaos,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a hulla baloo if you want that. Now, keeping the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: theme going page two here, as we continue all night
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: on the Ben Maler Show, so we are told the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are expected to shift their focus to instead of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: continuing to try to get Max Crosby to acquire when
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the new league year begins, free agent Trey Hendrickson of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the Well he was with the Ben Gals. So let's pretend,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: for the purposes of this Mallar monologue that that's not
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: some kind of squeeze play and that this is actually
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the real deal. And that's true. So the question, if
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Dallas is pivoting to Trey Hendrickson over Max Crosby, how
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: big a downgrade would that be for the Cowboys side
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: by side? So if you go side by side, if
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys do pivot from Max Crosby to Trey Hendrickson,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna use a sandwich analogy, the Hogi analogy here
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it's similar but not the same. For example, Max Crosby,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: if you were to look not a list but a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: big board, Benny's big board of sandwiches, a properly made
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: cheese steak. As the godfather of Fox Sports Radio, the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: great Tony Bruno taught me years ago, you gotta have
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the provolone, not the cheese whiz on, that the right
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: kind of bread, the whole thing. Throw that together. That's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a perfect sandwich, the cheese steak sandwich with the onion,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the peppers and all that. That's the way to do it. Now. Hendrickson,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he's a sandwich. However, he's like a spicy chicken sandwich
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that's been sitting out under a heating lamp at a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: seven to eleven for the last twenty two hours. Not
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: quite the same, not quite the same, a sandwich, but
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: not quite the same. Now both these guys get sacks. However,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: when the run game comes towards Hendrickson, he undergoes a metamorphosis.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: He travels through time to Madrid, Spain. He becomes a bullfighter,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a matador ole lay and running backs. They just go
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: who right by him? Now, Crosby, when you look at
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: his body of work here he's a Swiss army knife
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and he's able to play the run and wants to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: play all the time, and all that has been durable.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And he's also a little bit younger and in that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: business obviously, that's a big deal. The kind of a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: guy that is the centerpiece. Not that Hendrickson wouldn't be
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the centerpiece. The cowboys have a bunch of no names
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and bums on defense Flotsham and Jetsam. But he's more.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Instead of a Swiss army knife that has a little
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: bit of everything, he's more like a switchblade. Doesn't have
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the other attachments, just a switchblade. That's it. That's all
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: he's got. So Jerry is being a it would appear again,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: how much of this is true, and how much of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this is for public consumption. As Jerry likes to say,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: when things get boring around here, I like to stir
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit so it looks from the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: outside that Jerry is being a frugal shopper, that he's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: being a frugal shopper budgets tight. You know, it is
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: true that those megayachts and Jerry's got a really nice
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: yacht last we heard, and you need to have a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: bunch of people on staff for that. If you want
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the South of France, you got to have
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the internet on there. You gotta have, you know, the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: greatest chefs and the cleaning people and servants and all
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that on those megayachts. And so if you spend a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: little more on Max Crosby, do you then have to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: get rid of your butler, your second or third butler
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: on the yacht. That's a tough decision. I think we
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: can all understand and relate to the dilemma that Jerry
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: would have. All right, now, last word to the belt
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Way we go a player that we have talked about
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: way too much. I was saying about this when I
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was coming to the studio. I was like, we've talked
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: about this guy way too much, considering how few impact
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: moments he's had in his career. Now who am I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: talking about? That would be Brandon Auk, the wide receiver
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: who I guess is technically part of the forty nine Ers.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I guess the new league year starts next week. So
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: there's some chatter, and we love our chatter that the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Commanders could sign Brandon Ayuk to a one year prove
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it deal, a one year prove it deal if the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: forty nine Ers end up doing they release them, which
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I assume we all assume that's going to happen. It
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: seems like that's obviously the Niners are pretty much said
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get rid of him, whether they trade them
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: or release them. More likely you would just release him
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: because why would you trade for a player who's going
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to be released anyway. So the question on this one
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: what stands out, if anything, what stands out to you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: about Washington, the team formerly known as the Redskins looking
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to add wide receiver Brandon Auk on a prove it contract.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So the first thing is rather clear. I think everyone
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you know, the person in the back of the room over.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: The person in the way in the back of the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: warehouse is not even listening. They know. The NFL motto
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is never give up on talent, even when the talent,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: like in this case, is clearly given up on their
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: own frontal lobe. You just don't give up on the talent,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you don't, you know. I mean, there's a wide receiver
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: right now in jail who killed a young woman and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: her dog. They burned up alive because of him, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get out of jail relatively soon, and someone's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: gonna give him a tryout. That's how the NFL operates,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's how they do things there. Obviously this is not
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that this is much much different, but Brandon auc has
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a large yellow sticker that has been slapped on his
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: back and it reads buyer, Beware, buyer Beware. A dynamic
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: separation merchant, an artist of separation who has also managed
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to separate himself from his teammates. His coach is not
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: his own ego, though he cannot separate himself from his
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: own ego, and after that Frisco fiasco where he cost
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: himself a cool twenty seven million, you realize in the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: annals of the NFL there are only a handful of
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: people in the history of the NFL that have blown
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars of their money guaranteed loot. There's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a guy in jail that was going around robbing banks
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to go to Chiefs games and to gamble. And that
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: guy didn't get twenty seven million when he was robbing banks.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: This guy gave up twenty seven million, the steepest exit
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: tax to leave California yet and certainly in NFL history.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And he's now looking to have what make it prove
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it deals? That's what he's got, which even that, you're like,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: why does he even have that? What is he out
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to prove? He's out to prove what that he's not
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: some kind of high speed social media addicted powder keg.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And that's what is it give the commanders? And then
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the commanders are in this weird spot. They came out
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of know where they had sucked for years. They came
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: out of know where. It got to the Final four
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and then got smoked in the final four, had that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: magic playoff run. Jayden Daniels looks like he's gonna snap
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: at any moment. He snapped last year. And the commanders
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: are terrible and so if they pull the trigger on this,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they can enjoy a nice lunch menu that includes their
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: own sandwich, the knuckle Sandwich from the knucklehead in Chief.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And look forward to the two receivers set in Washington.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: On one side, you'll have scary Terry McLaren. On the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: other side, you'll have scary immaturity iyuk and good Luck
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: good Luck and Washington supposedly realizing that even if they
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: got this guy, they still have to go get somebody
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: else at the White opposition. And so the reason you
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: would have to do that is because whoever adds the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: soon to be former forty nine or Brandon knows that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they are one or he is one bad tick talk
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: post away from a self inflicted trip back to the doghouse.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: And good luck. Now in DC, they'll learn the only
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: thing more toxic, the only more toxic in DC than politics,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is a white out who sends communication via a cryptic
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: emoji or a bunch of cryptic emojis and cannot stop
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: cold turkey, cannot do it, addicted, addicted, and is so
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: addicted to it that he's willing to give up twenty
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: seven million dollars at some point if he's lucky. Brandon
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and I could be an old man and'll be sitting
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: on a rocking chair somewhere and talking about his life
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and say, you know, maybe I shouldn't have Maybe I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. Maybe I just you know, I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: could have been could have had a little more money there,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: leave the kids, grandkids, great grandkids.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Whatever it be sure to catch live edition. So the

  Speaker 4: on YouTube and subscribe.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the transaction Wire.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: We go where the Buffalo Roam and the NFL. The
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Bills have made a move. They needed help. They don't
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: have much there. They didn't have much there at the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: wide receiver position. I assume you've heard by now, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: maybe not if you missed it. We learned that the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Buffalo football team as acquired wide receiver d J. Moore
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and a fifth round draft pick and they gave the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Bears dump Bears a second round pick. Yeah, so this
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: is now the new player that has been deputized, DJ
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Moore to get Josh Allen over the Humpty Humpty and
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: get him into the super Bowl and win the Super
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Bowl and all that. That is a good jumping off point.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question is wide receiver d J.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Moore going to be a success or will he be
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: another Bills boondoggle? Is he going to be a success
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: or another Bills boondoggle? So my observations, I've got airport,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: gift shop, CBS Special and treasure map and we're gonna
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: lock all of these things together and go boom goes
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to dynamite boom so number number. Yeah. After a very brief,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a very very brief Mallard deliberation in the jury room,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: we have come to the verdict on this and that
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: would be the Malard report card. On the Malard report card,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. This is the most coveted report card
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: in all of overnight talk radio. The Buffalo Bills get
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a C, they get the CE, the Chicago Bears a bit.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: The Bears actually did better in this than the Bills,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and that almost never happens. And I'll tell you why.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Let me walk you through this. Yere, Chicago had let
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the world know they were getting a new DJ. They
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: were done with DJ Moore. Yafimi knows this tree in Chicago.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: All my guys there in Chicago knows. So Chicago essentially
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: sold the used car that already had to check engine
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: light and they said, okay, we can get that. I mean,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: they got top dollar for it, no haggling, they got
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: top dollar. And more was being phased out of the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Bears offense, kind of like an old iPhone, like an
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: iPhone five or something like that. And Romadunza and others
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: arrived on the scene. The pecking order had changed, and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: suddenly DJ Moore's stat line had some supply chain issues.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: He was not getting the ball enough. There was a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: shortage of targets. And now the question is why would
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Buffalo with all the receivers that are available, why would
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they trade a second round pick for this guy. So
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the reason I've determined is you follow the breadcrumbs. The
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: new coach, Joe Brady, I believe this is the gentleman's name.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: He won't be there long, but he worked with DJ
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Moore back in Carolina. So the coach Brady and Moore
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: worked together with the Carolina Panthers. And as always, you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: don't need to send a group text about this. But
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it's not what you know, it's who you know, which
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: is really tough if you're an introvert, because it's really
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: not what you know, it's who you know. Now that said,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: if you're looking this objectively, looking at this objective, then
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: there's nothing more objective than overnight sports radio. Free agents
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: treat Buffalo like it's Siberia with chicken wings. The players
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the Bills get are typically older, broken down, and have
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: no other options. That's typically who goes to the Bills.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It's a hard sell in free agency. It is. It's
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: not a glamour location, and you know it's got a
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: great fan base and all that's wonderful, that it's just
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: not people want to go there. So this is more
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: like shopping the Bills getting DJ more It's kind of
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like shopping at the airport gift shop. We've all done it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe when you were a kid, Hey, I need I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: need a souvenir. You forgot you Maybe you were supposed
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: to get your kids a souvenir. You went on a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: business trip or something like that, and you forgot to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: get a souvenir. You're like, oh, crap, man, I got
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to get my kid at souvenir. So you're at the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: airport and you end up paying like fifty dollars for
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a T shirt that should cost about fifteen dollars or whatever,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and then you bought it. Now, add in the fact,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: as we slice and dice this, add in the fact
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that DJ Moore's got the double whammy. What is the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: double whammy? Well, questionable effort, bad attitude, what whoe? What whoe?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: A chronic case of IDGA f itis. I don't give
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I forget what the f wort is, but something fun
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I don't give a fun. No, I don't think that's it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Fudge might be fudge lollygagging through routes or roots. There
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: were some clips online that were made months ago of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and you can look him up yourself. You know even
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Stevie Meatballs can see them. But they showed clips of
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: DJ Moore who was lollygagging. It looked like he was
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: touring a museum on his routes and he didn't want
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to be at that particularly museum, and he was doing it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And so now Buffalo was hoping for a rebirth, a reboot,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and there is talent there Dj Moore. The reason that
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: he has had the long career in the NFL is
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: because he has the reputation of a guy that can
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: turn a five yard pass into a highlight. It was
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a slippery player, elusive, and so that's very valuable. But
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: more as he has not been that guy sliding away
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the last couple years. And so now by default he
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: is the number one wide number. He will go ahead
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of the other pass catchers and Buffalo the other people
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that get the ball a lot Khalil Shakur and Dalton
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Kincaid and those guys Buffalo betting. They are betting on
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a career resurrection tour, a comeback tour for the ages,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: one of those things. Will it work? Eh? Or maybe
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: this just turns into another magic trick, a disappearing, disappearing
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: second round pick for a player who is washed up.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: All right, so we'll see all right now, Page two
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to the Quarterback Shuffle, the fun size edition of the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Quarterback Shuffle. The latest on Alligator Arms. He's on the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: move again, Yes, Alligator Arms. You think that a number
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of these teams would be frightened to death at doing
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: business with Kyler Murray, That where well, will likely be
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the case. However, the rumors are in the air everywhere.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: The latest one which I heard and smiled when I
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: saw this, I thought, boy, that's pretty good, that's pretty funny.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: So we're hearing now that the the team that is
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: considering Kyler Murray. One of the teams considering Kyler Murray
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: is a team that had not been mentioned, had not
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: been mentioned, that team Canza City. What yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So it's like an insurance policy for Patrick Mahomes who's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: recovering from a torn acl little snap, crackle pop there.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: So Adam Schefter, the NFL insider who famously reported years
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: ago that Kandy Rice was a candidate to be the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: coach of the Cleveland Browns. So Adam Schefter or general
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: manager whatever, but Adam Schefter brought off the Chiefs as
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a possible landing spot for Kyler Murray. So the question
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: are we buying Are we buying this Kyler Murray to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Kansas City garbage or is this just more spin from
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's the people that are trying to get him
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a job somewhere and peddling things through back channels. So
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: this one I jotted down on my note card CVS
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: special click views spreader, click views spreader as in click
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: any click. There is not going to be a stampede
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. There's not. And that's all this is
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: is engagement farming. It's a total non starter. Why would
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, run by a Hall of Famer Andy Reid,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the gold standard, invite this little bug on the rug,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: this virus into the building. There'd be no reason to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: do that. It's an absolute joke. If I'm drafting a league,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and I say league, I mean League of Legends, team
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is my first overall pick, I would be
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: scratching and clawing to get my hot my hands on
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. The little fella is the goat of the joystick. However,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs they don't use the joystick. They use the duke.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: We're good alligator arms. Kyler Murray should be on the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: no fly list for a reason. Here's another guy. He's
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: got some attitude issues, pouting and all that. Mahomes has.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: How many years do you think Mahomes has left. He's
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: in his early thirty he got seven, seven, eight years.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: If he wants to keep going, he's got to pay
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: for those water burgers. He's got that water burger empire,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: so he's got to buy more water burgers. What a shot?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: What a burger? He doesn't need a backup? Who'd rather
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: be on Twitch than watching film? And it isn't I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: don't want this to happen. But if Kyler wants a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: gap year, a sabbatical and to go to a good
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: team and be a backup, then just go go to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't want that. I would dislike that
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: a lot. Of course, most of the people in my
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: career that I have bashed end up with teams I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: like that. Seems to be how this always happens. It's
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a return of the curse of the Benbino. Bro. I'm
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: risking my life, bro that slug Blake snails on the Dodgers.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I did a lot of material ripping James Harden playoff Harden.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: He ended up playing for the Clippers for a little bit.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And now there's a chance that Kyler Murray ends up
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: with the Rams. But that would actually make some sense
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: because Cliff Kingsbury is there, and that means it's a
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: safe space for him. Cliff Kingsbury who allowed Kyler to
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: play all the video games unchecked and all that. So
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Kyler likes him because he's the parent that lets you
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: get away with everything. But the Chiefs. If you're the Chiefs,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you don't put a juice box in a wine cellar.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: The quarterback room's a wine cellar. You don't put a
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: juice box in there. What are you doing? All? Right?
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Final point? Now we go to Tampa where a little
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: birdie tells us the wide receiver mark for Mike Evans
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: is not looking that great. The Tennessee Titans and the Raiders.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Those are the two teams that are said to be
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the most interested in Mike Evans should he end up
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: leaving Tampa Bay. Those are the two teams that are
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: trying to get their hands and rallying around to get
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver Mike Evans. So the question you've got
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: this pending free agent wide receiver Mike Evans, who is
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: very popular with Tennessee and Vegas. You make the call
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: on what that means. So I will make the call here.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I've read the treasure map. I've looked at the treasure map.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: It means that all roads and all bodies of water
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: lead back to Tampa, all of them. There is no
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: decision to be made. You're telling me that your options are.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: You can either go play for the quote we asked Titans.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That's not my nickname. That's cam Ward's nickname for the Titans,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the wee ass Titans, or the Supreme Greens Raiders. Now,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: if you don't know the history of Supreme Greens and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you want to get an education, type into Google Alex Guerrero,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that's Tom Brady's best friend and Supreme Greens. Check that out. Yeah. Absolutely,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: even that would make Doc Mike blush that story. So
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that whole thing's pathetic. It's kind of like these choices
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: are like being the kid and your parents says, Okay
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: for dinner, We've got Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, and you
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: have to pick one. Well, no, you're a picky little eater.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You look at the stats. Evans, I get that he's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: coming off a bad year. He was hurt, he had
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: less than four hundred yards receiving, only had a few touchdowns.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: He played I think it was like eight games or
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: something like that. Had a hammy that went whammy, that
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: was taped together and then the collar bone went snap,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: crackle pop like a windshield there and a bunch of pieces,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: so damage goods. He's at the age where that's a problem.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: And unless if I'm Mike Evans, unless the Patriots, Bills
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: or Chiefs come knocking on the door, I hear them
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: knocking right there. Unless they come knocking on the door,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you don't move. Why would you? Now if they call
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you pack the suitcase and you hitchhike out of dodge
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and you say bye bye, we'll see you later, get
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: out here. And otherwise you bunker down in the pirate
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: ship and to quote the Great Gene Decker, off fire
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the cannons is what you do because the other options.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: If this is accurate, it's shiver me, Timbers, Raiders and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the Titans. No bueno, no bueno on that.

  Speaker 2: To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: grilled Krubolo.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Miles Garrett just signed a contract extension last offseason, but
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: teams apparently think the Browns could still trade him. Teams
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: have reportedly reached out and Cleveland is listening. Ben, do
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: you think he actually gets traded?
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I say there's a ten percent chance. He's all that
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Cleveland has. They have no other star players. Everyone else
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: saw Shooter Sanders blows, so he's the only they have
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and they don't They can't win, so they got at
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: least one star player. So I'd say there's a there's
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: a ten percent chance that Miles Garrett is traded before
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the NFL Draft next And.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: The latest trade rumors, Kawhi Leonard is being linked to
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: these seventy six ers. This would reunite him with former
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: teammate Paul George. Seventy six Ers are currently on the
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: fringe of contention in the East. Would this move a
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: catapult them to the top?
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Only if they hire Doc Rivers as the coach, then
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: they would be going No, come on, listen, Well, Couy's
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: got issues. Who knows what's going to happen with this investigation?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm done with Kawhi.
• 30:58
