  Speaker 1: The coop scoop on entertainment'll be later as well, So
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we'll work our way through the overnight, but our lead
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: this hour to begin the festivities, we start out from
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the bean Counter's office, the NFL owners. I thought this
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: was interesting, and I have editorial control, so I'm gonna
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: start with this, the NFL owners feeling giddy. They've got that,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: as we like to say here, the cheshire cat smile
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: from ear to ear. Now the reason they have the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: cheshire cat smile from ear to ear. If you haven't heard,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they had the league meetings, which were recently we talked
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: about them. The owners get together and they go to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: some resort and they sit around and they have cocktails
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and expensive appetizers and the living the life of Riley,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and they do the business of the NFL. They have
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: quarterly meetings. In the NFL, life is tough. So if
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you didn't see this, perhaps perhaps not. We learned now
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the industrial complex of football has brought in twenty three billion,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: twenty three billion dollars in total revenue in the just
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: completed fiscal year. Now I realize this is not some
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: kind of Wall Street financial show. We're not out here
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: giving you financial advice. This has been quite the week
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in the financial world. But that being sick twenty three
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: billion with a bean. How to put that into context?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Let me rephrase that in layman's terms for those of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you in the back of the room. That means, okay,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if my malor math is correct here, that means that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: each team member.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Of the Cartel of Football is going to receive.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Each team will reseve a big check, one of those
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: cartoon sized checks for four hundred and sixteen million. That's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: four hundred and sixteen million per team. That's payment from
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL. That includes the national media. You've got the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: sponsorship deals in there, You've got the licensing revenue that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: is up eight point nine percent. How many businesses go
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: up year to year almost ten percent eight point nine
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: percent from last year. And they weren't exactly struggling last year.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They were not eating the Marcel and Brooklyn diet of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Ramen noodles and.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: You know that stuff.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But at three hundred and eighty two million a year ago,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but they were up to four hundred and six teen million.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Per team per team.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question for the esteemed panel,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: which you are part of. What does the NFL bringing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in twenty three billion in revenue signify to you?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: So I've got I've got those acades.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Cartoonish and Jurassic Park, and we will combine all of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Baba Ganoosh.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: We're gonna get some eggplant we're gonna make the Baba ganush.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So num burr, I said, numb burr.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: That's right, number one. So this is the way I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: will describe the NFL right now. Just like the Gilded
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Age in the NFL, it's the modern gilded age here
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in the pigskin world. And I really don't know there's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: any other way you can describe it here, endless economic growth.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Check you've got that now, d're I did read back
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in the DWN not a long time.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I'm trying not to read stuff like that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But back in the old days when I read a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: few stories, not books, stories about the guilded days, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: recall reading about that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: And this was when industries like steel.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And railroads and oil dominated the landscape in America. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in modern NFL parlance, if you will modern NFL parlance,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you've got Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, Jeffrey Lorie, pick your
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: favorite big shot fat cat owner, and they are if
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we're doing the guild and age right, if we're doing
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the guilded age of the NFL, and we're kind of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: breaking it down scientifically here, and you've got.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Those three owners, or.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Again you can fill in the blank, well, that's like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and JP Morgan of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: modern times, Robert Barons, captains of industry. You get all
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the prestige and status. You get to be the star
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of the cocktail party on Long Island, the Beverly Hills
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: or South Beach, where all the rich people hang out,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the aristocrats, and the average Joe.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: That would be you and I.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: We are the average Joe, right, We're just plugging along
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: getting through life.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: The average Joe is following.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: The wisdom of the famous Dose Aks pitchman from back
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in the day, the most interesting man in the world.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Stay thirsty, my friends, the great unwashed. We have an
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: unquenchable thirst for this and they know it. And it
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is straight cash. Homie profits, profits, prophecy. It is an
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: idiot proof business at this point. Idiot proof how much so?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, the Browns now, this is go
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: back here. The Cleveland Browns, believe it or not, I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: had the highest payroll in the NFL. Their payroll was
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six point four million. So if
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they have the same payroll this year, assuming the payroll
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is exactly the same, just for the purposes of this
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Mallard monologue, every NFL team gets four hundred and sixteen million. So, again,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: using some back of the napkin Mallard math, if you've
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: got four hundred sixteen million and then you take away
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six point four million, that means
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you're sitting on a surplus of one hundred and sixty
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: nine point six million. Well wait a minute, you gotta
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: pay everyone else, you got it. Yeah, your payrolls fine,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: but you got to pay the employees for the team.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You got other expenses, which is all true. But the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: four hundred and sixteen million dollars pile of pesos does
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: not include your local media money, your ticket sales, your
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: sponsorship deals, all that other stuff. So it's really good, Like,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it's really really good. I'm using the Gilded Age. You
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: could go Internet boom times. Back in the nineties, you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: could go the gold rush. I mean, whatever you want
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to go with. Feel free now, Page two. So we
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: now head to one hundred art Rooney Avenue is where
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: we go. As the yensers continue to tap the toast,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Yes it is time. Now we'll get it out of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the way early. Our obligatory Mallard monologue on the life
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and times of Air and Rogers. That's right, waiting for
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the decision from Aaron Rodgers. Now there is said to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: be a bit of uneasiness, oh the drama. Remember I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: mentioned a couple of days ago. Every day there's gonna
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: be a little something.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Every day. There's a little something, even if it's taken
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: out of thin air. Every day.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So the latest report is there's there's a bit of
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: uneasiness in the in the building there. One of the insiders,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I forget who, they're all the same, reported that the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: quote the vibe, the vibe around the Steelers facility feels
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a little weird because no one is sure whether or
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: not Air and Rogers is going to be there. Now,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the person in this story did add there is no panic,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: oh no, no poduct here from the Steelers. But the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: current depth chart says what it says. Okay, So how
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: concerned in the building should Mike Tomlin be with the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: vibe the vibe around the Steelers. So I'm gonna go
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: less than zero, Okay, less than Mike Tomlin in the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: bubble in my head can give that cartoonish over the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: top shoulder shrug. You know know what I'm talking about
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: where your your shoulders are hiked up to your ears
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and your your hands or.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Flipped palms up. You know what I'm saying.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and you get that dramatic eye roll. You
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you could throw in a mah. You know that's a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: little extra pizazz on top of that. So if you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: look at the calendar on your smartphone, we are roughly
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five like days, I guess a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: little over one hundred and forty five days away till
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the NFL regular season kicks off.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I mean we're sitting.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Here in April, and uh, it's it's down it's down
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: in in September, all right, I mean it's it's over
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: there in September.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: That is four months.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So we are talking about four months of time to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: figure it out. Just you just got to go and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you you've got to figure it out. You just gotta
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you've just got.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: To do it. Uh And and that's it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Uh And and find someone And if you got to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: put an ad online, I'm sure they will find someone
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to play quarterback in Pittsburgh. And so uh it is
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the status quote. Nothing nothing, nothing has changed. Right as
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, the King of quotes, likes to say he's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: got a lot.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Of Zinger's, a lot of one liners. We like Tomlin
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: for that. It's good for business in these parts.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And Mike Tomlin famously famously likes to say, the standard
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: is the standard. So what exactly is the standard in Pittsburgh?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Right? What is the standard?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Well, the standard is they win now because they went
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to seventeen games or so a couple of years ago,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so that if it went nine games, right, you got
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to finish with the winning record, or if you win
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: eight you got to have a tie. Right, So right
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: now you've got Super Bowl you had. I don't think
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Mason Rulis won a Super He's bounced, right. He was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: with the Steelers and then he went to the Tennessee
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Titans last year. He's the quarterback at this moment. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: then they can add, what do they got? They got
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: some other beta quarterback that they can they can pick
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: off and they'll they'll draft somebody. So again, it's like
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the level of concern is minute, and it's like even
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: if you get Aaron Rodgers, as much time as we
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: have spent talking about him and taking up very valuable
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: talk radio real estate on this on.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: This show as much as we've been doing it, we must.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Point out, all right, we must point out that Rogers
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: has sucked for three years. He wasn't very good at
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the end in Green Bay, right, he just wasn't. And
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: then he went to the Jets. He got hurt, so
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that was I'll put that in a bad category. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: then the highlight was he ran out. Remember that first
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: year with the Jets. He ran out with the American
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: flag on nine to eleven. And then that was that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: was it. It was snap, crackle, pop, see you later,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: bye bye. As he was out for the year. So
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you had that, you know, that was that was part
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of the deal. All right, Now turn the page and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: final stop. We go to Augusta. That's right, we're going
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to the Masters. We're heading to the Masters. Did you
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: watch any of this? Were you checking any of this out?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And no you did not?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: All right, So Justin Rose, Justin Rose is your first
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: round leader at the I'm told by was that the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: eighty ninth Masters. I think I'm correct on that. The
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: eighty ninth Masters. You got Roy McElroy who early on
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you're like, all things are going pretty well there and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: then by the end was not good, just a generic
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: brand round for him at the Masters. Scottie Scheffler trying
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to win a third green jacket. Whoopee damdo he had
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a sixty eight. Phil Mickelson. Man, these guys, big names,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: not a lot of game left.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: There at the end of the road, there right, a
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: lot of game.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So Phil Mickelson shot a seventy five at the Masters,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and he is actually in the danger zone of missing
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the cut for the first time in almost ten years.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen was the last time. That was the very
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: last time that he missed the cut. And all those
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: are fine stories if you're a golf nerd. None of them,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: none of them are worthy of a full Mallar monologue.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I've learned over the.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Years to not get two worked up over the first
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: round of a golf tournament. Just don't worry about it,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: don't spend too much time thinking about it. Now, there
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is a story that did go viral, and that involves
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: guy Jose Luis Ballister. I believe it's his name. Never
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: heard of him, right, Yeah, he's entered the chat now
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: because that's the story. If I had told you a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago, this is going to be the story.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Everyone was talking about the Masters. You would say, well,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know who that guy as well as he
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: must be must be leading the tournament. No, so this guy,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Jose Luis Balister, the twenty one year old reigning US
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Amateur champion. He's from Spain and he was playing in
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: his first Masters and he was paired with the world
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: number one Scottie Scheffler in the first round on Thursday.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, so who cares well? Ballister was the.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Trending topic because he peede in the iconic Raised Creek
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: at the thirteenth ole.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Now, I've never been to the Master's.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Actually, one of our listeners invited invited me to go,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and it was very kind. It was very nice that
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he lives right there in Augusta or Augusta adjacent. He's like, hey,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: we'd love to have you come down. You can come,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you know, for the weekend and all that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: It was very nice.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Might have me and Danny g from the podcast I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: do on the weekends, the Fifth Hour Podcast. Unfortunately unable
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to take that offer, and I haven't received that offer
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: in recent years, so maybe the offer is off the table.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: But that is the holy land of golf and.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Raised Creek is right in there, right, they revere, They
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: tell stories about Raised Creek, how amazing it is and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: all that, right there at the thirteenth dole. So what
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: do you think of a golfer urinating at the famous
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Raised Creek during the Masters? So my reaction at this
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: point it was knee slapping. It's nie like the fact
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that this guy is so obtuse. I'm always fascinated by
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: people that don't understand, like there's a lot of TV
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: cameras and stuff like that, there's a lot of attention,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: there's a lot going on and all that stuff.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: So I thought it was amusing.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I also love the reaction the golf snob freaking out
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: about this.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Why didn't he ask? Why didn't he ask?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: What are the marshals on the course or the spotter
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: or the or people who was playing with anyone would
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: have told him where the bathrooms are?
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Blasphemy some of these, some of these golf people. It's like,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: this is like peeing at Saint Peter's Basilica right there
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the of the you know, the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: holy facility.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: What are you doing? Kick him out?
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Never, this is his last Master's Kick him calm down. Now,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: this is a story as old as time. Think of
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a now defunct electronics store in the northeast New York
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and other plays the Whiz.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Nobody beats the Whiz. Now.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I learned in I don't know how old that was
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a Jurassic Park back in the classic movies Jurrassic Park.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Remember that scene when you gotta when you gotta go,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: you gotta go. And this guy, uh will likely never
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: win a.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Master's, but in this little sliver of time, he is
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the story of the masters. He did not know the etiquette.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I think that's I don't know if you're allowed to
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: just you know, pull it out. I gotta tell you
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: every time I don't go golfing off. I don't know
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: about you boys, but every time I've been golfing, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: it usually happens.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: It used to be once a year.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Now it's like once every couple of years, inevitably somebody
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in the group that I'm golfing with has to go
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and they go find a tree, and uh, you know,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it's one of the advantages we have as men.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: You know, you just gotta go, you go.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And typically when I play golf, it's not on television,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but the people freaking out.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, it is it is.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: It's amusing because of the reaction, and it's amusing because
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: of the person involved seemingly being obtuse, thinking they're just
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: playing like at the local public course on a random
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: day and no one's paying attention.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: It's quite amusing.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: App or lead this hour is from the National Football League.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Things are escalating in the land. Deshaun Watson. We have
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the rebuttal in the game of he said.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Watson has responded the embattled, disheveled quarterback who has been
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: bedraggled by NFL defenses as Shaun Watson, and he just
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: got publicly panched by the big boss man there in Cleveland.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: You might remember a few days ago, a refresh your memory.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: The Browns owner Jimmy Haslam gave a confessional that the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: trade or Watson way back in twenty twenty two was
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a quote big saw wing anemiss, a saw wing anemiss,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and the owner said, we thought we had the quarterback.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: We didn't, Haslum declared, and we gave up a lot
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: of draft picks to get him.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: So we've got to dig ourselves out of that hole.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Close quote.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Now the whiff of a quarterback has entered the chat,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and if you didn't hear what he had to say,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: perhaps not.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: We got you. It's our good bits for the day.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: So in a video posted on the gram, Deshaun Watson said, quote,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: everyone everyone is doubting me. Everyone don't believe in me. Well, okay,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: rather than me, do my Deshaun Watson impersonation. We have
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the audio, so let let's go to the audiwall play.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: We'll see it, says long bite. Well, maybe I'll cut
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it off, but here's a little taste of Deshaun Watson ranny.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Performance comes when you know your back is against the walls.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: It comes better because you kind of got to really
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: lock in. You know, you don't have anything pretty much
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: to lose. And I feel like that's why I'm at
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: right now. You know, everyone's doubting me. You know, everyone
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: don't believe in me. Everyone don't think that I can.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Get back to where I was. So I know and
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I believe the word that I put.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: In what I believe in myself, the piece that I've
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: been you know, channeling these last couple of months.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I know I'm gonna be way better than before.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: There you go, all right, So that at the beginning
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: he was working out, Let us discuss the question DeShawn
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Watson's return to glory in the NFL or the United
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: States paying off the national debt?
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: What is more likely to happen.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Watson becomes a functionally good NFL quarterback again or the
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: United States pays off the national debt?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: What's more likely to happen? My thoughts on this, I've
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: got pirates of the.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Caribbean, Tow truck and Wayne Brady, and we'll lock all
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we're going to make a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: staple of the Cleveland food scene hilbasa and cabbage.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah all right, So a the.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Scales after a minutes long, Mallard, the little ration you say, well,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the national debt is completely out of control. You've got
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to go with the Shawn Watson. The scales are leaning
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: significantly towards the United States national debt. And by the way,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I last I check, it's like thirty six trillion.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: It's over thirty six trillion with a capital T.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And that is how messed up Deshaun Watson is. And
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: is there a bigger douche move than doing the video
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: while you're working out? Hey, I'm working out. Look at me,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I'm working out. Hey, dude, we know you're supposed to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: work out. You're getting paid a lot of money. You're
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: not going to play next year anyway. But Watson is
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: completely flummoxed by the NFL everything now, he said, they're
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: in some of the everyone's doubting me, everyone doesn't believe
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in me. There's a reason for that. You blow, DeShawn. Yeah,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you're terrible now only are a quarterback? You suck and
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: absolutely riveting insight from Deshaun Watson by any measurement, By
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: any measurement, Deshaun Watson is empty. He is a Pirates
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of the Caribbean type player. Because in every cliche of
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a pirate like Blackbeard, the pirate cruising around North Carolina
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and South Carolina, black Beard the pirate can say their
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: street blows and he would be.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Talking about Deshaun Watson spot on.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: His career is a pointless endeavor in every area except one, financially,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: financially at age twenty nine, He's got ninety two million
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: still owed to him over the next two years, ninety
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: two million.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: He is a functionally illiterate NFL quarterback. He can't play.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: He is illiterate in terms of ability to get the
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: job done.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: He is in albatross, and has he not said the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: last two years, I'm gonna be better nation.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Of course you say that I'm gonna prove the doubters wrong.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Just to put the ball on this and put a
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: nice little ball on it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: If the United States found let's say they found a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: surplus of one trillion dollars annually, it would take thirty
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: six years to pay off the current.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: United States national debt.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And I would still bet on that happening before Deshaun
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Watson becomes a functional NFL quarterback. I would still bet
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: on that better odds. All right, now, pitch you to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the NFL Draft.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: We head to.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Happy Valley, where a guy named LeVar Arrington dominated back
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: in the day, and the player that is expected to
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: have a similar impact in his NFL career, Abdul Carter,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: projected to be a top five pick in the NFL Draft,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: which is now less than two weeks away. So Abdul
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Carter's agent Drew Rosenhaus recently said that the Edge rusher
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: from Penn State he had a medical recheck.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I know you're very excited about that. You're like, oh,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I really want to know.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I'm at my job right now and I want to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: hear about somebody else's medical recheck. This was in regards
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to that stress fracture in his foot that you might
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: have heard about. If you're into this kind of stuff,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and according to Rosenhus, this is going to shock you.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: They're going to have to amputate the foot. No, he
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: didn't say that. Instead, Rosenhouse said that there was continued
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: improvement and surgery will not be required.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Said it should be a non factor with the teams
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: at this point. Close quote from Drew Rosenhaus.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So question, how would you classify abdul Carter's agent Drew
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Rosenhouse saying his foot injury should be a non factor.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to go CTS, consider the consider the source,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and we would take abdul Carter number one. We would
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: take him at the very top right. We would put
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: him as the number one pick in the draft. Based
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: on reading these dopey propaganda draft guides that I read
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: every year. Now, that being said, Drew Rosenhaus, who's been
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: around for many, many years, I envision him around this
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: time of the year.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: He is driving the tow truck.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: He's out there on the highways and the byways and
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the interstate. He's driving around and he's looking for cars
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: that are broken down, and he's like, I'm gonna help
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you out. I'm gonna pump the tires. In this case,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: he found the Abdual Carter car. He's like, I'm gonna
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: pump the tire. I'm gonna pump the tires. It's salesmanship,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it's boosting up your client. And he obviously has skin
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in the game. You know how this works. Drew Rosenhaus
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: stands to make or lose a fair amount of money
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: based on where his client ends up getting drafted. Meaning
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: if Abdual Carter goes to you number two, which I
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: appears that's the highest he will go Tennessee's going to
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: take a quarterback or trade the pick. So more likely
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: than not number two, and he makes more money than
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: if you're number three or four, if you fall down at.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Five, six, seven, eight, whatever it is. And so Rosenhaus
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: is working to make sure that every piece of the puzzle.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Is precisely where it needs to be before the draft.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: It's I go back to that word salesmanship. I believe
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that's the proper word for this, and that's what he's doing.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: All right. Now, last word, we go down to the
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: police blotter. The police blotter.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Where former Texas Longhorn wide receiver and NFL draft prospect
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Bond, not James Bond, Isaiah Bond, Well, Isaiah Bond
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: turned himself in on an outstanding a.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Warrant for sexual assault.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: This happened Thursday morning in Frisco, Texas. Bond this is
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: where it gets interesting, was released from the Colin County
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: jail after posting bond. He posted bail twenty five thousand
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: dollars bail now. In a statement posted on social media,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Bond said of the accusation, there's not a lot of
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: details on. I can't give you the details. They're not
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: out there yet. I haven't seen him anyway. If they
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: are out there, he said, the accusation against him is
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: patently false. Now, it would have been something if you
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: had said, yeah, I did it. He didn't say that,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: So what happens. What happens to Isaiah Bond and his
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: NFL draft stalk after his arrest. Well, this is reminiscent
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: of the current stock market, the current Wall Street.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: It's a bear market. It's highly volatile, and he's a
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: highly volatile stock.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: At this point, before this snaffoo, the wide receiver known
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: as Isaiah Bond, this guy was projected to be a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: second round pick, second round wide receive, which pretty high.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: That's pretty high, man, your second round pick, that's pretty good.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: But now all bets are off. All bets are off. Now.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I will remind you.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: That when it comes to the NFL Draft and the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: selection process, one of the great quotes of all time
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: from the from the Draft. It actually came from a
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: guy that has worked for our company a couple of
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: times over the years.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: And the the.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Draft is all about, you know, the measurables and all
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: that stuff, right, you got to get the player that
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: has the biggest, fastest, the strongest and all that stuff.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And you want to hoard draft picks and and all that.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: I bring this up because the quote. Get to the quote.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Please, So years ago at the NFL Draft and this
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: guy he became one of our draft consultants.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Is that the right word? Uh? Yeah.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we were talking about if a player had let's
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: just say, really had some some issues off the field.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: In what were they do. Like here's the quote. It
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: it's Steve Time, Steve Come. He used to be the
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: GM the Arizona Cardinals. He said, if Hannibal Lecter ran
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: a four point four, we'd probably diagnose it as an
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: eating disorder. That was the money quote.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: He's not wrong, So somebody will draft him still relatively high.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: But what happens now, based on years and years of
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: these type of stories, I would expect the people that
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: are trying to ride the codetails of mister Bond to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: advise him to go. Wayne Brady from let's make a deal,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: and we'll play let's make a deal and try to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: save draft value and see if you can buy your
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: way out. And again, we don't know what the charges are,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: we don't know how bad it is, we don't know
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: any of that. We're just doing this blind but trying
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: to avoid the noseedive.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: So much like let's make a deal.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Would you prefer a mystery box with money or would
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you like an envelope with some kind of magic gift
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: in it, and we know that worked for Deshaun Watson.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: He got away with it, and you got a slap
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: on the wrist by the NFL and all that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: And so that's where we are on that story.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Here we go, it's smaller.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: How about that to the third degree.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: This is one big Ben gets quilled.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: And now we bring in the arbiture of mallardly third degree.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: Bryce Young had a pretty terrible start to his NFL career,
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: but had a bit of a breakout towards the end
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: of last season. When asked about it recently, Young said
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: that it doesn't carry over a year after year and
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: it'll all reset year by year. Ben, do you expect
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: the success to continue for Young?
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: No, Well, in terms of him.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Being a top ten quarterback, which he was for a
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: stretch last year, I do not. He was the beneficiary
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: of the blessing of low expectations.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Number one. He was so bad we had all.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Reaten his eulogy as an NFL player, so the bar
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: was not very high. Well, now there are some expectations so,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and it does not carry over and all that he
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: is correct on that.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: So you have to do it again.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: You have to prove that that was not some kind
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of mirage the success that he had. And it's much
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: difficult to do that, much more difficult.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: To do that the entire season, then for a couple
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: of games, throwing three or four games.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Here and again, I'm not optimistic. I think he'll settle
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: into being an average NFL quarterback. I don't expect him
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: to be much better than that, but we'll find out
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: next TJ.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Watt is looking for a contract extension from the Steelers
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: as he enters the last year of his contract. On
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Instagram Wednesday, Watt posted a picture of himself throwing up
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: a sign. Now, this led many to believe that Watt
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: was saying peace out to Pittsburgh. Ben, do you think
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: this photo was something or nothing?
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I do like the viseral reaction. The visceral reaction.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, I want to I don't want Bill from
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Venice to call up and correct me the visceral reaction.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: But no, listen, social media gives you this warped sense
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: of reality. It is a standard tool that is used
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: by the disgruntled professional athlete. You try to weapon us.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: It is absolutely something he is trying to weaponize. He's
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: trying to scare the Steeler fan base so they rally
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and put pressure on the team to pay him more money.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely I know what he's doing.

• 33:55
  Speaker 6: the last three or four years, they haven't exactly been
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: running away with it. Ben, do you think it's hannable
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: for the Saints?
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: So obtainable?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: What a great way to sell optimism. It's obtainable, we
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: might win the division. Uh No, here's the problem. They
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: have a soft underbelly. The soft underbelly, the kryptonite is
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr and as far as I know, he's going
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to be back, he blows they ain't winning the division.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: How did we do you pass?
