Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
0:26
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
0:32
Speaker 1: So we have met our quota. We talked about the
0:35
Speaker 1: NCAA Men's basketball Tournament and it was a dud last hour,
0:38
Speaker 1: so we will move on from that and get back
0:40
Speaker 1: to where the power is. The power is kept on here.
0:45
Speaker 1: The lights are on because of the National Football League
0:50
Speaker 1: and our lead this hour from northern Kentucky or very
0:55
Speaker 1: very southern Ohio. And while some some we're bracket busting
1:03
Speaker 1: and filling out different brackets and whatnot, an NFL team
1:07
Speaker 1: under the cover of darkness, moving in a clandestine way
1:14
Speaker 1: to pay a lot of money out. Now, if you
1:16
Speaker 1: didn't hear the Bengals wrote not one, but two cartoon
1:22
Speaker 1: sized checks the news coming down on Sunday night, Sunday
1:27
Speaker 1: night over the weekend. If you did not hear, perhaps
1:29
Speaker 1: not the Benggals. The Cincinnati football team has agreed to
1:34
Speaker 1: deals with Jamar Chase four years, one hundred and sixty
1:38
Speaker 1: one million Dead Presidents, making him the highest paid non
1:43
Speaker 1: quarterback non quarterback in NFL history. That has changed three times.
1:49
Speaker 1: Three times in the past ten days. There has been
1:52
Speaker 1: a different player at the very top. It started with
1:54
Speaker 1: Max Crosby from the Raiders who got paid. And then
1:58
Speaker 1: the guy that really wanted to win and wanted to
2:00
Speaker 1: be traded from the Cleveland Browns because he couldn't win
2:03
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. And then the Browns made him the highest
2:05
Speaker 1: paid non quarterback, Miles Garrett, and suddenly he didn't care
2:08
Speaker 1: about winning. He wanted to play for the Browns. And
2:10
Speaker 1: now now it's Jamar Chase. So Jamar Chase is at
2:13
Speaker 1: the very top. He is under contract. I know you're
2:15
Speaker 1: concerned about his finances through twenty twenty nine, so he's
2:19
Speaker 1: he's locked in. But wait, there's more. So not only
2:22
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve million Garon teed for Jamar Chase,
2:27
Speaker 1: but you also have t Higgins, the franchise tag wide
2:30
Speaker 1: receiver T Higgins was he traded of the Patriots. No
2:34
Speaker 1: t Higgins gets a four year deal for one hundred
2:38
Speaker 1: and fifteen million, making him the highest paid number two,
2:46
Speaker 1: number two receiver in NFL history. Not a number one,
2:52
Speaker 1: not a number one. He's the deuce and he's getting
2:56
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money. The first two years of T.
2:58
Speaker 1: Higgins contract are guaranteed, so essentially it's a two year deal.
3:03
Speaker 1: After that, there's some loopholes and whatnot. The deal keeping Higgins,
3:08
Speaker 1: who's twenty six, in a ben Gal's uniform through the
3:12
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight season. So let us discuss the money
3:16
Speaker 1: flying everywhere in the NFL, even in Cincinnati. Wow. All right,
3:21
Speaker 1: So question for the panel, what do you make We've
3:26
Speaker 1: seen the moves. Shit, we went over the moves here,
3:28
Speaker 1: these moves to extend Jamar Chase and T Higgins. What
3:32
Speaker 1: are these moves signify to you? What do these moves
3:36
Speaker 1: signify the Jamar Chase T Higgins contract. So I've got Whistlestop,
3:41
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton, and primal Fear, and we will combine all
3:47
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are gonna make the
3:51
Speaker 1: Gaba Ghoul Because these guys can buy as much Gabba
3:53
Speaker 1: Ghul as they want. They're loaded. So to lead off, here.
3:58
Speaker 1: This is the way I will phrase it is out
4:01
Speaker 1: of character. If you've been around for a few years,
4:04
Speaker 1: this is very unbangal like what they're doing here. In fact,
4:08
Speaker 1: when I saw this at first, I thought, well, this
4:10
Speaker 1: must be some kind of satire. This must be Sports
4:13
Speaker 1: Talk Berry or one of those satire sites. This is
4:16
Speaker 1: not real. But it turns out it is legit. That
4:18
Speaker 1: we double checked it, did the discount double check, and
4:21
Speaker 1: sure enough, the Cincinnati football team was able to dust
4:25
Speaker 1: the cobwebs off the wallet and pay out a bunch
4:29
Speaker 1: of money. And that's old family money. Normally, old family
4:33
Speaker 1: money does not get spent this way, not by the Bengals.
4:37
Speaker 1: They are the cheapest franchise in the NFL. That they
4:41
Speaker 1: did this, now, why did they do it? It signifies we
4:44
Speaker 1: are going to pacify. We're going to buy the biggest
4:46
Speaker 1: pacifier we can get to that. Joe Burrow, right, Joe
4:50
Speaker 1: Burrow was over there bitching that the Bengals needed to
4:53
Speaker 1: keep this team together, a team that didn't even make
4:55
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. And Burrow's out there screaming, you
4:58
Speaker 1: got to keep these And it turns out the lesson
5:03
Speaker 1: of this story and you can't disagree with me on
5:05
Speaker 1: this is that the grumbling by Joe Burrow, grumble, grumbo grumbo.
5:10
Speaker 1: The grumbling by Joe Burrow worked his little whistle stop
5:13
Speaker 1: tour around the NFL media Super Bowl week and around
5:18
Speaker 1: that time where he publicly advocated and demanded that ownership
5:23
Speaker 1: pay these guys, and sure enough it actually worked. Right.
5:28
Speaker 1: The stump speech paid off two hundred and seventy six
5:32
Speaker 1: million dollars in contracts handed out. Not all of it guaranteed,
5:35
Speaker 1: but most of it is. Most of it is guaranteed
5:38
Speaker 1: to t Higgins and also to Jamar Chase. So Joe
5:42
Speaker 1: Burrow somewhere at a secret location with a cheshire cat
5:47
Speaker 1: smile from ear to ear that his koviching, his complaining
5:55
Speaker 1: paid off right and way to go, It all worked out. Burrow,
5:59
Speaker 1: by the way, is getting two hundred nineteen million dollars
6:02
Speaker 1: he's on his that's in guaranteed money. And the great
6:06
Speaker 1: thing about this is that as good as I believe
6:09
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is, he does not have to make players
6:13
Speaker 1: around him better. There was for many, many years this
6:16
Speaker 1: belief if you're going to pay a quarterback top dollar,
6:19
Speaker 1: they're so good they elevate the players around them. But
6:23
Speaker 1: what Joe Burrow has publicly stated, I think it's kind
6:25
Speaker 1: of clear here that he needed these guys on his
6:27
Speaker 1: team is he's not good enough to elevate the players
6:30
Speaker 1: around him. Otherwise it would have made more fiscal sense
6:33
Speaker 1: to allow at least one of those two receivers to
6:36
Speaker 1: go somewhere else. But what Joe Burrow wis said, Hey,
6:38
Speaker 1: I'm not good enough as a quarterback, and so i
6:42
Speaker 1: have to have these premier receivers because I can't take
6:46
Speaker 1: a B level receiver and turn them into an A
6:49
Speaker 1: level receiver. And I'd be tremendously handicapped as a quarterback
6:52
Speaker 1: if I don't have these guys. And ownership agreed with
6:55
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Ownership's like, you know, you're right, You're absolutely CORRECTO,
6:59
Speaker 1: You're not that good. And now you look around, and
7:03
Speaker 1: so you've got an absolute loaded offense. You'll continue to
7:06
Speaker 1: have that. You have an elite one to two punch
7:09
Speaker 1: right there at wide receiver. And the Bengals with all
7:13
Speaker 1: those offensive dynamos, explosive players all over the field, and
7:18
Speaker 1: it's just wonderful, But yet where else are they? Right?
7:24
Speaker 1: You assume that the defensive star Trey Hendrickson will be
7:28
Speaker 1: traded at some point here soon. Can't imagine they'd signed him.
7:32
Speaker 1: If they weren't going to sign him, theyrobably would have
7:34
Speaker 1: announced it on Sunday night, over the weekend and do
7:37
Speaker 1: everything at the same time. There was no announcement, which
7:40
Speaker 1: there have been some rumors that Colts are interested in Hendrickson.
7:43
Speaker 1: Will see if that trade happens or not, but it'd
7:44
Speaker 1: be surprising at this point if the Bengals keep Hendrickson.
7:48
Speaker 1: They had a terrible defense last year, didn't make the playoffs. Now, furthermore,
7:51
Speaker 1: let's focus in. We're gonna lock in our laser pointer
7:55
Speaker 1: on T Higgins because T Higgins now the NFL's ninth
7:59
Speaker 1: highest paid wide receiver. Then we repeat that for those
8:03
Speaker 1: of you in the back room that are barely awake
8:06
Speaker 1: T Higgins. He's a wide receiver number two and T
8:10
Speaker 1: Higgins ninth highest paid receiver in the NFL. So that
8:14
Speaker 1: is a bitter pill to swallow. It is Higgins. Here's
8:19
Speaker 1: the way I look at against, Like, if I was
8:21
Speaker 1: the Patriots and I paid him that contract, you know
8:23
Speaker 1: that's justified. If I was the Chargers and I paid
8:27
Speaker 1: T Higgins that contract because he'd be my number one.
8:30
Speaker 1: So that makes a lot of sense. But if I'm
8:33
Speaker 1: Kansas City, I would I would pay T Higgins that
8:35
Speaker 1: countract If I'm the Bengals, it's not my money. It's fine.
8:39
Speaker 1: They want to burn money, you can do it. But
8:41
Speaker 1: from a just a logical standpoint, if you already have
8:44
Speaker 1: the number one receiver and you're paying him the most
8:47
Speaker 1: money of any player not a quarterback in the NFL
8:51
Speaker 1: at number two, you put your ninth highest contract for
8:57
Speaker 1: T Higgins. I mean, that is a that is a
9:00
Speaker 1: tough one. That is a tough one. You had to
9:03
Speaker 1: make Burrow happy. Burrow complained, right, you had to make
9:05
Speaker 1: him happy. He had a hissy fit, and so you
9:08
Speaker 1: make Burrow happy. But the second wide receiver is the
9:12
Speaker 1: ninth highest pace second wide receiver in your locker room
9:15
Speaker 1: and overall the Bengals, if you look at the way
9:17
Speaker 1: they're set up, they are like Dolly Parton, the Dolly
9:22
Speaker 1: Partner of the NFL. They're very top heavy, if you
9:24
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And Jamar Chase, T Higgins and
9:28
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. The estimate is they're going to take up
9:30
Speaker 1: almost fifty percent of the salary cap. Now, I am
9:36
Speaker 1: a salary cap truther. I am a salary cap truth.
9:39
Speaker 1: I know that to be true, which means you can
9:41
Speaker 1: finagle the salary cap, and these contracts will be reworked
9:44
Speaker 1: in future years, and so there's some ways you can
9:46
Speaker 1: work around it. But to pay both receivers one okay,
9:50
Speaker 1: but seems seems be a little much. Seems a little much.
9:53
Speaker 1: And so Cincinnati is going to have a hodgepodge of
9:57
Speaker 1: players from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Amazon delivery drivers and
10:03
Speaker 1: Uber x drivers will be filling out their roster and
10:07
Speaker 1: that'll be the way that goes there. Good luck, I'm
10:10
Speaker 1: sure it'll work well. As long as you can go
10:13
Speaker 1: out and score thirty five points a game, you'll have
10:16
Speaker 1: a chance to win most games. And then that's the
10:18
Speaker 1: way it goes. Just send a bunch of flotsam and
10:21
Speaker 1: jets them out there and see how it goes.
10:24
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
10:27
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
10:30
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
10:33
Speaker 1: So we had a lot to get to and I
10:35
Speaker 1: learned my lesson. We attempted to talk some hot college
10:39
Speaker 1: basketball in a previous episode of the show. We literally
10:43
Speaker 1: had to turn the transmitters back on. We had to
10:45
Speaker 1: turn the transmitters back on there. They just know no
10:48
Speaker 1: one left, and it was warning. There was like a
10:51
Speaker 1: light flashing, what are you doing? What are you doing?
10:57
Speaker 1: So we are going to go back to the thing
10:59
Speaker 1: that keeps the lights up here at the mighty powerful
11:02
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios here in the Premiere Networks building
11:06
Speaker 1: at the iHeart Building, which is in a different building.
11:08
Speaker 1: I don't know, but our lead this hour is from
11:12
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, from the neighborhood, mister Rogers neighborhood. I'm convinced
11:17
Speaker 1: that mister Rogers has ulterior motives here that Aaron Rodgers' goal,
11:22
Speaker 1: all right, his goal here is to just make sure
11:25
Speaker 1: that we have fresh content on sports media radio television,
11:31
Speaker 1: because we have a status update, a status update on
11:35
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. If you've not been paying attention here, you've
11:38
Speaker 1: been distracted by some other shiny object. Aaron Rodgers is
11:43
Speaker 1: in the ballot booth. He's got the ball in front
11:47
Speaker 1: of him. It's got Steelers on the line right there
11:50
Speaker 1: below it's got the Giants, then it's got the Vikings
11:53
Speaker 1: with a question mark, and then at the very bottom
11:56
Speaker 1: it says none of the above. And so Rogers is
11:59
Speaker 1: in the voting booth and he's an undecided voter, and
12:04
Speaker 1: he's just decided that he doesn't want to decide. The
12:09
Speaker 1: decision is I don't want to do side anything at
12:13
Speaker 1: this point. And so his hands wobbling and he's got
12:16
Speaker 1: the shivers, he's got the flop sweat. He don't know
12:18
Speaker 1: what to do now. State sponsored NFL media, he propped
12:22
Speaker 1: the news service in the National Football League, tells us
12:25
Speaker 1: that the decision conceivably will not happen until the NFL Draft,
12:31
Speaker 1: which is, let me check my notes here, thirty seven
12:34
Speaker 1: days away, so over a month away. That you might
12:38
Speaker 1: remember a couple of years back when Aaron Rodgers was
12:42
Speaker 1: debating where he was gonna end up, and he's with
12:44
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and it was around the draft,
12:48
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, when Rogers got off the toilet
12:51
Speaker 1: and finally decided to go live in the toilet, which
12:54
Speaker 1: is the Jets building there in New Jersey. So we've
12:58
Speaker 1: got some time here, if that's If that's act, of course,
13:01
Speaker 1: you'll get that report today tomorrow. There'll be a report
13:04
Speaker 1: that Rogers wants to decide by this weekend because there's
13:07
Speaker 1: a comic book festival somewhere he wants to go to.
13:10
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel,
13:13
Speaker 1: which you are part of the chatter that Aaron Rogers'
13:18
Speaker 1: free agentcision, the decision of Rogers could not come until
13:23
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, which is in late April, believe it
13:28
Speaker 1: or not. So I've got drummer, FB, Express Train, and telemarketer,
13:36
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
13:39
Speaker 1: we are going to make some jumbalaya, is what we're
13:42
Speaker 1: going to make. Not that Aaron Rodgers has ever eaten jumbalaya,
13:45
Speaker 1: I don't think he has, but we're just going to
13:47
Speaker 1: make some jumbala. So a my first thought on on
13:51
Speaker 1: the Rogers thing, to answer the question, is it a
13:55
Speaker 1: believe it or not situation? Well, I am a believer
13:59
Speaker 1: in this one. I believe believe is in the cards
14:02
Speaker 1: at this point. Because initially it was like, well, Roger's
14:04
Speaker 1: going to sign in the next forty eight hours. There
14:06
Speaker 1: was that report, and then that didn't happen, and then
14:09
Speaker 1: there were the tabloid photos of Rogers meandering around the
14:13
Speaker 1: beach in Malibu and contemplating the time space continuum as
14:18
Speaker 1: he wandered around there. But Rogers, one thing's for sure,
14:22
Speaker 1: he is not going to be bullied. You're not gonna
14:25
Speaker 1: bully Adam Schefter Aaron Rodgers into making a decision. It's
14:29
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. He marches to the beat of his
14:31
Speaker 1: own drummer, and his own drummer. Who knows that drummer
14:34
Speaker 1: might be named Joe Rogan or you know, somebody in
14:36
Speaker 1: the Trump administry. I don't know. I have no idea.
14:39
Speaker 1: But Rogers will not conform to what normal football decorum is. Right,
14:48
Speaker 1: the popular societal norms in the NFL is that you
14:52
Speaker 1: sign rapidly, and because because you've got a bottleneck here,
14:56
Speaker 1: you got other suckbag quarterbacks that are like, what about U?
15:00
Speaker 1: What about us? You know, like the Russell Wilson's out there,
15:04
Speaker 1: what about me? You got Kirk Cousins in Atlanta who
15:08
Speaker 1: we traded at some point here, and so they're like, hey,
15:11
Speaker 1: we suck too, but we want to go to different teams.
15:13
Speaker 1: What about us? And Rogers is at the front and
15:17
Speaker 1: what you can't the whole roads blocked. Rogers is blocking
15:20
Speaker 1: the whole road at this particular point. But he's in
15:23
Speaker 1: his canoe and he paddles his own canoe, and he's
15:26
Speaker 1: just gonna paddle la la la, la la la. I'm
15:29
Speaker 1: paddling my own canoe, just like that. That sound of
15:31
Speaker 1: him paddling his own canoe, refusing to follow the crowd,
15:36
Speaker 1: and Rogers figures, if you really want him, you're gonna
15:41
Speaker 1: wait for it. Yeah, you're gonna wait for him and ergo.
15:44
Speaker 1: You know what that means. Rogers wants to enjoy his downtime.
15:47
Speaker 1: See the way I'm reading this, the longer that Rogers
15:52
Speaker 1: is just floating in the wind like a tin can
15:55
Speaker 1: and a hurricane, just floating in the wind there, and
15:59
Speaker 1: he can do what ever he wants. He will walk
16:01
Speaker 1: around the beaches of Malibu, he can travel to the
16:04
Speaker 1: four corners of the planet. It doesn't matter right the
16:07
Speaker 1: moment he signs a deal, the moment Rogers agrees to
16:11
Speaker 1: a contract with the Steelers, the Giants, the Vikings or
16:15
Speaker 1: Mystery Team my favorite, the Mystery Team. The moment that happens.
16:20
Speaker 1: You know what that means. Rogers will then be expected
16:23
Speaker 1: to attend team functions, to be a leader, to not
16:26
Speaker 1: travel to Egypt when there's many camps going on, and
16:31
Speaker 1: so the longer he doesn't agree to a contract, the
16:34
Speaker 1: further he kicks it back, the more time he can
16:38
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. And no one will criticize Rogers
16:41
Speaker 1: because he hasn't signed a contract. And it's as long
16:45
Speaker 1: as he drags it out. He can go hang out
16:48
Speaker 1: with Joe Rogan and Austin and do the podcast. He
16:50
Speaker 1: can travel to Tim Buck to and to go anywhere.
16:55
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, right And as the world turns out.
16:59
Speaker 1: Speaking of as the world turns one of our favorite
17:02
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who loves crab legs, famous Jamis Winston is set
17:07
Speaker 1: to meet later on hours from now with the New
17:11
Speaker 1: York Football Giants, we are told, And so Jameis Winston,
17:16
Speaker 1: famous Jamis who played with Cleveland, not well, not well
17:21
Speaker 1: with Cleveland, then was a commentator for Fox during the
17:26
Speaker 1: Super Bowl coverage, and now Jamis Winston is going to
17:30
Speaker 1: meet with the New York Giants and free agency? Is
17:32
Speaker 1: that something or nothing? So have I jotted down on
17:37
Speaker 1: my my chicken scratch. I dritted down something and I'm
17:41
Speaker 1: pulling for Jamis Winston. If you're gonna get a mediocre
17:46
Speaker 1: to bad quarterback, if you're the Giants. You might as
17:49
Speaker 1: well go down this road. In fact, I will rubber
17:52
Speaker 1: stamp the malord rubber stamp of approval for Jamis Winston.
17:58
Speaker 1: That means a lot. It does. It means send that
18:01
Speaker 1: out on social media. That means a lot. That is
18:03
Speaker 1: the contingency plan for the Giants, the lesser of not two,
18:09
Speaker 1: the lesser of three evils. Because if you take the
18:12
Speaker 1: temperature in the room, it's pretty obvious Aaron Rodgers isn't
18:17
Speaker 1: all that interested in playing for the Giants. Does anyone
18:20
Speaker 1: disagree with that? I don't see any hands raised, So
18:22
Speaker 1: he's not interested in playing for the Giants. So you
18:26
Speaker 1: look around and you're like the bronze winner in that
18:31
Speaker 1: it's the Steelers, Vikings or retirement and then the Giants
18:37
Speaker 1: and the other options you got Russell Wilson, who's absolutely
18:40
Speaker 1: cooked at this particular point, and Kirk Cousins, whoopee dam doo.
18:47
Speaker 1: Those are your options Dollsville, Dollsville. So Jameis Winston is
18:52
Speaker 1: the antithesis of that. Now, I'm not sitting here and
18:54
Speaker 1: telling you behind the microphones of FSR that Jameis Winston's good.
18:58
Speaker 1: I don't believe he is. But what he is is.
19:02
Speaker 1: More importantly, he's on the train what I call the
19:06
Speaker 1: FB Express train, the fun Bad Express train, And I
19:10
Speaker 1: want fun bad. I love fun bad. Who doesn't enjoy
19:14
Speaker 1: fun back? Fun bad is great. I live for fun bad.
19:19
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be bad, at least be fun. Don't
19:21
Speaker 1: be bad boring, be fun bad. And that's Jameis Winston.
19:25
Speaker 1: He's mesmerizing. He's charismatic off the field, he says, goofy things.
19:31
Speaker 1: He's fun, just a fun loving guy and all that.
19:34
Speaker 1: He's a high risk, high reward situation, a quarterback. There
19:39
Speaker 1: one man band, it says in the Bible, Jameith Gibbeth
19:43
Speaker 1: and Jamith take it away. That involves throwing interceptions and
19:47
Speaker 1: pick sixes and all that, and it's fun. And for
19:50
Speaker 1: every two interceptions that Jameis Winston throws, he'll throw like
19:54
Speaker 1: a touchdown. For every two touchdowns, four interceptions, it's it's
19:58
Speaker 1: fascinating watch him play. And also, don't forget if he
20:02
Speaker 1: does go Jameis Winston to the Giants, that would mean
20:05
Speaker 1: that Saquon Barkley. His stretch of hits continues. Because remember
20:10
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl media event, which used to be
20:13
Speaker 1: Media Day before it became commercialized by the NFL and
20:16
Speaker 1: he ruined it. But at that event, Jameis Winston interviewed
20:20
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley called NFL opening that would have dope be named.
20:23
Speaker 1: They came up with it and they saw tickets or
20:25
Speaker 1: where they let people go. But Barkley was asked by Winston, hey,
20:29
Speaker 1: where should I go? And kind of sarcastically, Sequon Barkley said, well,
20:33
Speaker 1: I hear that New York the Giants need a quarterback.
20:35
Speaker 1: And sure enough, later today Jameis Winston will meet with
20:39
Speaker 1: the team that fired Saquon Barkley and allowed him to
20:43
Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia and lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl.
