0:00
Speaker 1: Bippity boppity, it's our number three. Here we go Buffalo. Well,
0:06
Speaker 1: the noise noise that Josh Allen has too much power
0:11
Speaker 1: within the Bills organization is going around. Can you diagnose
0:15
Speaker 1: what's happening in Buffalo? As reports of Josh Allen being
0:20
Speaker 1: in complete control? There also Pakistar Micah Parsons says he's
0:24
Speaker 1: the smartest edge russer in the NFL. How does that
0:28
Speaker 1: land with you? And the NFL itself is now allowing
0:32
Speaker 1: head coaches like Andy Reid to have an assistant initiate
0:37
Speaker 1: replay challenges with that red flag? Are you comfortable with
0:41
Speaker 1: NFL head coaches outsourcing the red flag duty? We'll talk
0:47
Speaker 1: about that and more right now. You can paint me
0:51
Speaker 1: blue and call me a smurf. It's our number three.
0:57
Speaker 1: Now that is a power player move. Welcome in the
1:04
Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We
1:08
Speaker 1: are in the air e of reware neighboring as we
1:17
Speaker 1: have listen, we have no grainy images, none of them
1:22
Speaker 1: crystal clear. Even our blind listeners like Andrew in Bakersfield say,
1:27
Speaker 1: you know that's really good. That's really good. I know
1:30
Speaker 1: it's shocking coast to coast border, the border in beyond.
1:35
Speaker 1: On the vast and particularly powerful microphones of fs are
1:41
Speaker 1: amminating live from the paints as we go hard in
1:47
Speaker 1: the paint garanteed human from the world famous Fox Sports
1:50
Speaker 1: Radio studios, where Donkey Sausage had the hutzpah to request
1:57
Speaker 1: a shout out for his birthday. Now, Donkey Sausage, we're
2:00
Speaker 1: not a morning show. I don't care that you're hitting
2:03
Speaker 1: double nickels. I cannot, through the powers invested in me
2:07
Speaker 1: through Fox Sports Radio, give you a shout out. That's
2:09
Speaker 1: a morning Zoo thing. We're not a morning zoo. The
2:11
Speaker 1: morning Zoo guys get paid a lot of money and
2:14
Speaker 1: they're just better people. I cannot, Donkey Sausage, wish you
2:18
Speaker 1: a happy birthday. I help you understand now what I
2:20
Speaker 1: can do, and I don't normally do this. I will dedicate,
2:25
Speaker 1: much like the late great Casey Kasem, keep your feet
2:27
Speaker 1: on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. I
2:30
Speaker 1: will dedicate a live read happy EFN Birthday, Donkey Sausage.
2:36
Speaker 1: And I know just what you want. Express. That's what
2:40
Speaker 1: you need. Every fifty five year old man needs express.
2:43
Speaker 1: If your work is logistics, you know nothing moves without you.
2:48
Speaker 1: Companies need skilled people now and Express Employment professionals can
2:52

Speaker 1: get your support and you're also options and get to work.
3:04
Speaker 1: That's right there. You go with that said, we now
3:08
Speaker 1: move ahead in the broadcast in Dateline Buffalo, Dateline Buffalo.
3:15
Speaker 1: We have a follow up not not not not to
3:18
Speaker 1: the stadium. We'll talk more about that later. Instead the noise,
3:22
Speaker 1: Oh I love the noise. All about the franchise player.
3:25
Speaker 1: Have you been ease dropping in? You have not? Okay,
3:29
Speaker 1: So a little birdie, little Birdie tells us that Josh
3:35
Speaker 1: Allen has apparently gained power, a lot of power and
3:41
Speaker 1: a lot of influence with the Buffalo football team. Now
3:46
Speaker 1: some of the insiders, name like the brag the ones
3:51
Speaker 1: that I don't think are sleeping with head coaches. So
3:53
Speaker 1: they're telling us that they've heard whispers around the league
3:57
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen, mister Buffalo, Josh Allen, former MVP, has
4:04
Speaker 1: an unusual amount of control. His tentacles are all over
4:11
Speaker 1: they Bill's offense. Now, the concern there's issues about pass
4:15
Speaker 1: protection and Alan getting everything he wants and sometimes that's
4:20
Speaker 1: not what the team needs and all that stuff. Essentially,
4:24
Speaker 1: he gets to arrange everything, he gets to decorate everything
4:27
Speaker 1: the way he wants and we do it your way,
4:30
Speaker 1: we do it, which I think is like a slogan
4:32
Speaker 1: for restaurants. Will do it your way, We'll make it
4:34
Speaker 1: your way. And so that's what the Bills are doing.
4:36
Speaker 1: And this has caused to friction. We love friction. It's
4:39
Speaker 1: good talk radio, and it's caused problems and some frustration
4:44
Speaker 1: among the Buffalo Bill's coaching staff over the years. It's
4:47
Speaker 1: continued and expected to get even worse because Joe Brady,
4:51
Speaker 1: the sock puppet handpicked by you know who, Josh Allen
4:56
Speaker 1: promoted and so the people are like, circle this, keep
5:00
Speaker 1: an eye on this. It's a problem. So that is
5:02
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
5:07
Speaker 1: The noise, a lot of noise that Josh Allen has
5:11
Speaker 1: too much power within the Bills organization. Can you diagnose
5:17
Speaker 1: what's going on here with Josh Allen and the Bills.
5:20
Speaker 1: So I've got dungeon Master Stephen Hawking and Air Jordan
5:27
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
5:30
Speaker 1: we are going to have some chicken and biscuits and
5:33
Speaker 1: some gravy, because that sounds good, all right. So first
5:36
Speaker 1: of all, feathers have been disheveled. They have been disheveled
5:44
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. It sounds after a minutes long investigation here,
5:51
Speaker 1: it sounds like Buffalo has prematurely handed Josh Allen the
5:57
Speaker 1: keys to the kingdom. Now there's normally a protocol. I know,
6:00
Speaker 1: Alan's been in Buffalo a long time. It sounds, based
6:03
Speaker 1: on these circumstantial pieces of evidence, that Josh Allen has
6:07
Speaker 1: become the dungeon master and he is the one where
6:11
Speaker 1: you're playing dungeons and dragons. He gets to roll the
6:14
Speaker 1: dice and that's his call, and he gets to write
6:17
Speaker 1: the rules. It's his way or the highway. He decides
6:20
Speaker 1: who survives and who doesn't. And so that's that's what
6:24
Speaker 1: it sounds like is going on from the outside looking
6:26
Speaker 1: at and the bills apparently are so petrified. How petrified
6:30
Speaker 1: are they with Josh Allen that eventually you look around
6:35
Speaker 1: and he realized that he You know, they're concerned that
6:38
Speaker 1: Allan's gonna snap because he's gonna wake up one morning
6:40
Speaker 1: and realize he's spent the prime years of his football
6:43
Speaker 1: career shoveling snow and losing playoff games, and he's gonna
6:48
Speaker 1: start like, say, wait a minute, maybe I should play
6:51
Speaker 1: foot seat with some of these other teams here, some
6:53
Speaker 1: of the glamour franchises in the NFL, like gonna see
6:56
Speaker 1: a scenario where Josh Allen gets tired of the whole
7:00
Speaker 1: Buffalo experience and the Cowboys get tired of Dak Prescott
7:04
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones becomes a smitten old dude and it's like, hey,
7:08
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I can get my hands on Josh Allen.
7:10
Speaker 1: And then that happens, and so you're like, well, is
7:14
Speaker 1: that really a legitimate concern? By all accounts, The outer
7:17
Speaker 1: appearance of Josh Allen is I love Buffalo. I'm mister Buffalo.
7:20
Speaker 1: I'm blue caller. It's my way. I know I make
7:23
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars year, but I'm blue caller. I'm really
7:25
Speaker 1: blue caller and all that. So again, Josh Allen's been
7:29
Speaker 1: handed the they call it in sports, the King James,
7:33
Speaker 1: the King James package. Whatever Josh Allen wants, whatever his
7:38
Speaker 1: heart desires, Josh Allen gets. So you want to design
7:41
Speaker 1: the protection for yourself, no problem, have at it. You
7:45
Speaker 1: want the offensive philosophy to be your way. It's your sandbox,
7:49
Speaker 1: big fella. Do what you want. Is the coach bothering
7:52
Speaker 1: you don't worry. We'll take care of that. Bye bye,
7:56
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Bye bye. Yeah, there you go. Now. Nobody,
8:02
Speaker 1: nobody inside the Buffalo Bills team facility wants to be
8:08
Speaker 1: the sucker, the poor sap who tells the franchise quarterback, No, no, Josh,
8:16
Speaker 1: you can't do that, Josh, you can't do that. And
8:21
Speaker 1: then they, of course get blamed when Josh Allen starts
8:24
Speaker 1: a revolt and he's like, well, maybe I should go
8:28
Speaker 1: And there's palm trees there. I can go down there.
8:31
Speaker 1: I can buy some sun Tammel Ocean in February if
8:33
Speaker 1: I go play for that team. Yeah, And they have
8:36
Speaker 1: real celebrity fans the Buffalo Bills. Their celebrity fan is
8:41
Speaker 1: Joe the Plumber that wears a Mexican wrestling match and
8:44
Speaker 1: jumps onto a burning table. That's their celebrity fan, Joe
8:47
Speaker 1: the Plumber, Jojo the Plumber. I'm scuse me, Jojo the Plumber. Now,
8:51
Speaker 1: this arrangement is wonderful right up until you remember that
8:56
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has consistently, despite some big games, warned the
9:00
Speaker 1: Scarlet l in January playoff games. It has not gone
9:06
Speaker 1: particularly well. The Buffalo. They do need someone to be
9:11
Speaker 1: the end to the Yang, the end to the Yang
9:14
Speaker 1: and not not just a total total country club for
9:20
Speaker 1: the players there. And apparently nobody, nobody has been able
9:25
Speaker 1: to step up and do it, and so they didn't
9:29
Speaker 1: get that memo. And it's so Josh, this is the yeah,
9:32
Speaker 1: this is the chatter that's going around the NFL that
9:34
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's doing whatever he wants.
9:35
Speaker 2: Now.
9:36
Speaker 1: Secondly, we go to the life and times of Michael
9:38
Speaker 1: Michael Micah Green Bay, Wisconsin, the frozen tundra Green Bay,
9:45
Speaker 1: and that is where Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons, who
9:50
Speaker 1: left Dallas for all the creature comforts of lambeau Field.
9:54
Speaker 1: The biggest defensive contract the time he signed it there.
9:57
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. Now, he gave us a viral quote this week.
10:01
Speaker 1: Did you see this or hear about it? During training camp? No.
10:04
Speaker 1: Speaking to spate sponsors state sponsored NFL media, Parsons said
10:09
Speaker 1: of himself quote, I think I'm above IQ. I think
10:15
Speaker 1: I'm above IQ than every rusher in the league. I
10:18
Speaker 1: think he missed a word. I'm just quoting him verbatim.
10:20
Speaker 1: I think I'm above IQ than every rusher in the league.
10:26
Speaker 1: I think he said said I think I'm more above IQ.
10:30
Speaker 1: That didn't even make sense either. I don't know what
10:32
Speaker 1: he was trying to say. He missed a couple of words.
10:34
Speaker 1: My god. Anyway, So the quote was, I think I'm
10:37
Speaker 1: above IQ. Do we have it?
10:39
Speaker 3: Oh?
10:39
Speaker 1: We have it? All right, Well, let's hear. Let's hear
10:41
Speaker 1: Michah Parsons, who's about to pull a muscle, patting himself
10:44
Speaker 1: on the back. Here we go, Micah Parsons, defensive edge
10:47
Speaker 1: rusher for the Green Bay Packers, who loves himself some
10:51
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons loves it, can't get enough of it. Does
10:56
Speaker 1: it sound like I'm stalling. I'm not stalling. I'm not
10:59
Speaker 1: killing time till we find the Micah Parsons sound bite.
11:01
Speaker 1: Not at all.
11:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't even think it's just about pastors.
11:03
Speaker 4: I think about is commanding the defensive front. Like the
11:07
Speaker 4: way I set it up. I can dictate the slides,
11:09
Speaker 4: know where the slides going, understand protections. I think I'm
11:13
Speaker 4: above IQ in every rush in the league. I don't
11:16
Speaker 4: like I've learned from the best between dan Zi Halfley, Like,
11:20
Speaker 4: I really understand football at a way better level. So
11:23
Speaker 4: allows me to, you know, use those abilities that I
11:25
Speaker 4: haven't seen knowing else dude.
11:26
Speaker 1: So yeah, there was a famous quote from an old
11:29
Speaker 1: Raiders coach who said we got to be the dumbest
11:32
Speaker 1: team in America, and Mike Parson said, we got I
11:36
Speaker 1: gotta be the smartest man on the field in the NFL. Parsons,
11:41
Speaker 1: coming off a knee injury snap crackle, pop goes the knee,
11:45
Speaker 1: played fourteen games with the chief says last year, and
11:48
Speaker 1: by all accounts, will not play the first month of
11:50
Speaker 1: the NFL season. Will miss a minimum four games, possibly five,
11:54
Speaker 1: possibly more as he takes the slow road to recovery.
11:58
Speaker 1: God forbid your rush back to help you team out.
12:00
Speaker 1: So out of an abundance of caution, Michah Parsons will
12:03
Speaker 1: not be playing anytime soon for the Packers. As you
12:05
Speaker 1: heard there, he stressed his ability to read the defense
12:08
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff, the schemes at a high level.
12:11
Speaker 1: So the question is this Packers star Micah Parsons says
12:16
Speaker 1: he's the smartest edge rusher in the NFL. How does
12:21
Speaker 1: this land with you? So? I love this story on
12:27
Speaker 1: multiple levels, multiple levels of love story. Michah Parsons declaring
12:31
Speaker 1: himself the smartest man in the room is weapons grade
12:36
Speaker 1: football hubris. Weapons grade football hubris is what this? Nothing
12:42
Speaker 1: screams mensa, Quite like announcing I think I'm above IQ
12:47
Speaker 1: than every rusher in the league. Just did he learn
12:51
Speaker 1: that at Penn State?
12:52
Speaker 2: Yeah?
12:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Oh yeah, YOI sign up this man for
12:58
Speaker 1: the reading rainbow. Oh but you don't have to take
13:02
Speaker 1: my word for it. Yeah. Anyway, where's LeVar Burton when
13:06
Speaker 1: you need him? I don't know. So my favorite NFL insider,
13:09
Speaker 1: which is not Diana Russini, my favorite NFL insider Stephen Hawking.
13:14
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't realize that Stephen Hawking was
13:16
Speaker 1: the Adam Schefter and Jay Glazer before Schefter and Glazier.
13:20
Speaker 1: So NFL insider Stephen Hawking had the perfect scouting report
13:24
Speaker 1: for the kind of chess thumping that Micah Parsons is
13:28
Speaker 1: providing here. When he famously boasted Stephen Hawking from his wheelchair,
13:33
Speaker 1: he said that people who boast about their IQ are losers.
13:37
Speaker 1: Close quote yeah, there you go, ding ding ding, ding ding,
13:41
Speaker 1: and before Professor Parsons starts teaching graduate level, graduate level
13:48
Speaker 1: courses on reading protections and dictating slides. And perhaps perhaps
13:56
Speaker 1: we can go back and look at that game. Remember
13:58
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four I remember doing a mo about
14:00
Speaker 1: the Cowboys who got absolutely slapped by Lamar Jackson and
14:07
Speaker 1: that read option game. Now, the game, the final score,
14:09
Speaker 1: as I remember, was not that close to The Cowboys
14:10
Speaker 1: scored a bunch of points in garbage time. That's where
14:13
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott shined as the stat bandito. In fact, I
14:17
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys scored like nineteen points or something like
14:19
Speaker 1: that in the fourth quarter if I remember spend in
14:21
Speaker 1: a few years. But anyway, the point of all this
14:23
Speaker 1: is MICHAEH. Parsons was on the field as I remember,
14:26
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson that read option. He was skating and
14:30
Speaker 1: dancing around and it was just amazing and Mike had
14:34
Speaker 1: no chance of stopping. So it's like he looked at
14:38
Speaker 1: that read option with Lamar Jackson and it's like he
14:41
Speaker 1: forgot to bring his number two pencil to the exam.
14:44
Speaker 1: So apparently the chapter, that particular chapter was not covered
14:48
Speaker 1: in micah U. In the micah university there now the
14:52
Speaker 1: great Walter Payton. Who is that? Mallor it's all time
14:57
Speaker 1: great running back so long ago for the Chicago Bear,
15:00
Speaker 1: Walter Payton. He had a great philosophy about things like this.
15:04
Speaker 1: He said, when you're good at something like playing football,
15:09
Speaker 1: you're good at something, you'll tell everyone, I am good.
15:14
Speaker 1: Kind of like Michael Barton, I am good. I am good. Yeah,
15:19
Speaker 1: when you're great at something, they'll tell you. That's the See,
15:23
Speaker 1: that's the kicker on the quote from Walter Payton. It's like,
15:25
Speaker 1: when you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're
15:29
Speaker 1: actually great at something, you don't have to promote it.
15:32
Speaker 1: So Michael Parson's proving he's not truly great. He's just good.
15:36
Speaker 1: That's all. The man is right there, So I guess
15:39
Speaker 1: he skipped that part of it, that part of the teaching.
15:43
Speaker 1: And you know, listen, there's nothing wrong with the believing
15:46
Speaker 1: in yourself. I understand all these guys have giant egos.
15:49
Speaker 1: You don't make it in that profession unless you've got
15:51
Speaker 1: a giant ego. You have to to think that you're
15:54
Speaker 1: really really great at everything. I get it by yes,
16:00
Speaker 1: when you have to stand on the table and jump
16:04
Speaker 1: up and down to announce to everyone in the saloon.
16:08
Speaker 1: There you sound a lot less like Albert Einstein and
16:14
Speaker 1: more like the guy at the local sports bar explaining
16:17
Speaker 1: quantum physics. After six natty lights, it just doesn't really
16:21
Speaker 1: work all right now, final thought to the NFL rules
16:25
Speaker 1: and regulations. NFL Rules and Regulations, we go where the
16:30
Speaker 1: Ben mal Show has now learned that beginning this upcoming
16:35
Speaker 1: NFL season, which starts in about a month about a month,
16:38
Speaker 1: we've learned that the NFL head coaches can now designate
16:44
Speaker 1: a subordinate, a member of the coaching staff to handle
16:48
Speaker 1: replay challenges. They revised Rule fifteen. Whatever the f that is,
16:53
Speaker 1: either the head coach or a pregame designate somebody that's
17:00
Speaker 1: just picked. You're you're my guy. I'm gonna give you
17:03
Speaker 1: the red flag. You get to throw the red flag,
17:06
Speaker 1: and either the coach or whoever they designate both cannot
17:10
Speaker 1: do it. So one person has to throw the red
17:12
Speaker 1: fag flag the previously, previously it was only the head
17:18
Speaker 1: coach who could do it. That's it. And the NFL
17:20
Speaker 1: quietly made this procedural change. It made it with without
17:25
Speaker 1: an owner's vote. There was no owner's vote. So the question,
17:28
Speaker 1: the NFL is now allowing head coaches like Andy Reid
17:32
Speaker 1: or Sean McVay to have an assistant initiate the replay challenge.
17:38
Speaker 1: Are you comfortable with this?
17:41
Speaker 2: So?
17:41
Speaker 1: I have two words in my rebuttal hell no, period stop.
17:47
Speaker 1: That's it. Hell no. The NFL protecting head coaches from
17:52
Speaker 1: what exactly? Why would you even think this is a thing?
17:55
Speaker 1: Like who's sitting around picking their nose in these meetings
17:58
Speaker 1: saying I know it's a good idea. Let's take the
18:00
Speaker 1: responsibility of the head football coach to decide whether or
18:04
Speaker 1: not to replay challenge, and we'll take that away from
18:07
Speaker 1: the head coach and give it to some jabbroni on
18:09
Speaker 1: the staff. That makes sense? Why not? Really, who's that?
18:14
Speaker 3: Well?
18:14
Speaker 1: We need the coaches to do less. I don't get it,
18:18
Speaker 1: Like most of these cats are paid between ten all
18:20
Speaker 1: theough ap to like twenty million dollars a year to
18:22
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL. You're supposed to
18:25
Speaker 1: be the CEO of the damn football team, and the
18:29
Speaker 1: NFL is like, well, you know, listen, we don't want
18:32
Speaker 1: you to worry about this. And most of the modern coaches,
18:35
Speaker 1: most of the head coaches today, they don't call plays.
18:39
Speaker 1: They're not the play caller on offense or defense, and
18:43
Speaker 1: they're pretty much standing there and they're grabbing their ass
18:47
Speaker 1: and smelling it while the game's going on. You know,
18:50
Speaker 1: so like what exactly what are they doing? Isn't that
18:55
Speaker 1: one of the big responsibilities that head coach has is
18:57
Speaker 1: to basically you're managing the clock clock management. You bark
19:02
Speaker 1: at the officials, bark, bark, bark, just like that, and
19:06
Speaker 1: then you figure out when to throw the red challenge flag.
19:11
Speaker 1: That's am I missing something? Yeah? So now we're outsourcing that.
19:16
Speaker 1: We've decided now to outsource in the industrial complex of football,
19:20
Speaker 1: to outsource the coach with the red flag. Okay, that's
19:25
Speaker 1: the equivalent of like back in the day with the
19:27
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls with Air Jordan AND's like, hey, let me
19:31
Speaker 1: ask the ball boy there if I should take this
19:33
Speaker 1: last shot. You know what, I'll just have you take
19:35
Speaker 1: the last shot. Why not? Well, no, that's not how
19:39
Speaker 1: you do it. You know, if you need an assistant,
19:42
Speaker 1: If you're a head coach and you need an assistant
19:44
Speaker 1: to throw the flag, you're not a head coach. You
19:47
Speaker 1: are dwite shrewd, the assistant to the assistant regional manager.
19:52
Speaker 1: And you just know that a bunch of owners. I'm
19:54
Speaker 1: sure Jerry Jones is already planning this out. He's going
19:57
Speaker 1: to hire some Ivy League nerd and just say all right, yeah,
20:01
Speaker 1: you come in here. You're my senior executive vice president
20:05
Speaker 1: of Red Flag Operations. Congratulations. And the NFL. This is
20:10
Speaker 1: a simple thing. It's a really simple thing. And the
20:14
Speaker 1: NFL is taking a simple decision and turning it into
20:17
Speaker 1: another level of corporate bureaucracy and a denial of accountabilities.
20:24
Speaker 1: You know what's neviely gonna happen is a bunch of
20:26
Speaker 1: teams are gonna have somebody who's just in charge of
20:28
Speaker 1: the replay review and they'll f it up. And then
20:32
Speaker 1: the coach is gonna say he asked the question, well
20:34
Speaker 1: what happened? Why did you review that?
20:35
Speaker 3: Well?
20:36
Speaker 1: I didn't make the decision. That guy over there did it.
20:38
Speaker 1: I'll have to talk to him. I didn't, you know,
20:40
Speaker 1: I didn't have a chance to talk to him. So
20:42
Speaker 1: I'll get back to you on that. Really, like, just
20:46
Speaker 1: be a real head coach. Is that am I being
20:49
Speaker 1: a bad guy? Ah, you're a bad guy. Mallor am
20:52
Speaker 1: I I'm being a bad guy because I think the
20:54
Speaker 1: buck stops with you as the head coach. You're the boss.
20:57
Speaker 1: Who's the boss? You're the boss, so you shouldn't have
21:02
Speaker 1: to pass it off to somebody else. You should not
21:06
Speaker 1: need that. So remind every man, woman and child, grow
21:11
Speaker 1: some onions and some hair on your chest, and you
21:16
Speaker 1: the one that throws the damn red If I own
21:18
Speaker 1: a team and my coach is like, I'm not gonna
21:19
Speaker 1: throw the red challenge flag, I'd fire the coach. Get
21:22
Speaker 1: out of here. Now you live with the consequences. It
21:26

25:37
Speaker 1: I mean Otani's translator from Inkoterr. Yeah, well the problem
25:42
Speaker 1: was that they lost a lot of money and they

25:47
Speaker 1: you pay taxes, they don't really care, and you don't

27:15
Speaker 1: riddle of the day. Former NFL quarterback Derek Carr thanked
27:19
Speaker 1: Dodger manager Dave Roberts for hooking up his wife and
27:22
Speaker 1: kids with a chance to spend thirty minutes cooling down
27:26
Speaker 1: in Dave Roberts manager's office because Derek Carr was getting
27:31
Speaker 1: preferential treatment. Apparently it was hot Dodgers were playing the
27:36
Speaker 1: Was it the Royals? I guess at Dodgers Dam, I
27:38
Speaker 1: think it was. And it was a little hot there
27:41
Speaker 1: during batting practice, and so Dave Roberts said, you're an
27:45
Speaker 1: elite former athlete, so unlike all these thousands of people
27:48
Speaker 1: that spend a lot of money on tickets and you know,
27:51
Speaker 1: would really like to cool off, We're going to pick
27:53
Speaker 1: you and allow you to sit in the manager's office.
27:56
Speaker 1: You talk about elitism. This is the definition of elitism
28:00
Speaker 1: by Dave Roberts. And the thing about it is like,
28:04
Speaker 1: it's not wrong of Dave Roberts to do it, It's
28:07
Speaker 1: just why would Derek Carr send that out? Like what
28:10
Speaker 1: like how tone death is Derek Carr? How unrelatable is
28:14
Speaker 1: Derek Carr to think, Well, I need to thank Dave
28:16
Speaker 1: Roberts when thousands of other people roasted their ass off
28:21
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium and didn't get invited into the manager's
28:24
Speaker 1: office their family to cool off because it was a
28:26
Speaker 1: hot day. Well wild anyway, all I'm the bad guy,
28:30
Speaker 1: I know. All right, let's get to the phones and
28:32
Speaker 1: we'll say hello, Aeny Meanie, Miney Mill. Let's go to
28:34
Speaker 1: Andrew in Baker's Field. We're gonna have Mallard's amount of
28:37
Speaker 1: money coming up. So when the lines open up, call
28:39
Speaker 1: up hello Andrew in Bakersfield.
28:42
Speaker 2: Hey, Ben, how's it going today?
28:44
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would not be taking
28:47
Speaker 1: your call. No, I'm kidding, what's going on? Andrew?
28:51
Speaker 2: So I can't remember, but when Christian McCaffrey was at Stanford,
28:55
Speaker 2: I remember after a game, I think it was his
28:57
Speaker 2: brother and he's like, Heisman Trophy. Do you remember who
29:00
Speaker 2: won the Heisman Trophy instead of Christian McCaffrey.
29:05
Speaker 1: I do not. I do not.
29:06
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, well maybe he should have won the Heisman.
29:09
Speaker 2: We're Rams fans, but you know we could probably say that.
29:12
Speaker 2: But you know, Shador right then he won the Heisman Trophy.
29:16
Speaker 1: Correct, uh, shoulder Sanders did not win the Heisman Trophy.
29:21
Speaker 1: His his teammate did. Yeah. Oh, guy that was drafted
29:24
Speaker 1: by Jacksonville. Cornerback, yeah, defensive back, wide receiver yeah.
29:29
Speaker 2: Double. Okay, Well then I'm mistaken because I was gonna say.
29:34
Speaker 1: You know, you think there was Travis Hunter? Was who
29:37
Speaker 1: was the name I was looking for? Travis Hunter?
29:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, he played receiver in cornerback.
29:42
Speaker 1: Uh yeah yeah if for Dion got all the hype
29:45
Speaker 1: and you know, but well I was going to say,
29:50
Speaker 1: here we go. Now we're getting now we're getting to
29:51
Speaker 1: the point. Here we go, Now we're getting the point.
29:53
Speaker 1: Here we go, here we go.
29:55
Speaker 2: You know, I thought Schador won the Heisman, and I
29:58
Speaker 2: was thinking why if he won the heis and would
30:01
Speaker 2: he get drafted in the fifth round? And then I
30:03
Speaker 2: was wondering if it ever happened in history before.
30:06
Speaker 1: But uh, well, there's been a plenty of Heisman Trophy
30:09
Speaker 1: winners that were not drafted high in the NFL. Were drafted,
30:14
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's been it's been a few years,
30:16
Speaker 1: but uh wasn't. Wasn't Troy Smith of Ohio State, he
30:23
Speaker 1: was down That's a long time ago, but I don't
30:24
Speaker 1: think he was drafted very high. Was drafted in the
30:27
Speaker 1: eleventh round. Okay, there you gowhere. Eric Eric Crouch of
30:31
Speaker 1: Nebraska wasn't drafted very high. If I remember, Chris Wank
30:35
Speaker 1: of Florida State wasn't. I mean, it's been a bunch,
30:37
Speaker 1: but I will I will concede. Though lately, I feel
30:40
Speaker 1: like these guys are over drafted. Like Fernanda Mendoza should
30:43
Speaker 1: have been a fourth round pick for the Raiders, but
30:46
Speaker 1: he won the Heisman and he was the hot guy,
30:48
Speaker 1: so they drafted him.
30:49
Speaker 2: And the national championship doesn't really.
30:51
Speaker 1: Help the Raiders out, does it. We'll see Bryce Bryce
30:55
Speaker 1: Young should have been like a second or third round
30:57
Speaker 1: pick for Carolina and they train it up to get
31:00
Speaker 1: him and they're screwed. So you know, yeah, So Kyler
31:04
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is another one Kyler Murray, the little fella,
31:07
Speaker 1: fun sized quarterback alligator arms. Murray should not have been
31:09
Speaker 1: the number one pick. And he's proven to be a
31:11
Speaker 1: fraud and now he's gonna be a fraud for the
31:12
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, we'll see, right, there's no no, no,
31:18
Speaker 1: there's no we'll see. He's already failed as an Arizona
31:21
Speaker 1: Cardinal and now he's going to fail as a Minnesota Viking.
31:25
Speaker 1: What is the issue here, Well, there's no you won't see.
31:30
Speaker 2: But he's in the competition for the starting job. Is
31:32
Speaker 2: he not at Minnesota right now?
31:34
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. He started in Arizona, he was terrible.
31:37
Speaker 1: Who cares if he stars, it doesn't mean he's good.
31:40
Speaker 2: Well, i've heard he's been doing pretty good in Minnesota.
31:43
Speaker 1: You're lying, you're making that up. No, you're just lying.
31:47
Speaker 1: You're blying. You're just lying. Well, whoever said that's lying themselves.
31:51
Speaker 1: I don't know. Call him out. Who lied? I don't know,
31:54
Speaker 1: But you don't know. You're making this all thing up. There, no, no, no,
