  Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Our lead begins at the headquarters in Midtown, Manhattan, where
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the Association ruled on the shove hurt round the NBA.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: This is where Victor Weimbanyama he shoved Jalen Brunson in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the Game three and this got replayed a bunch. Not
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: all of those misshots by the Knickerbockers in the fourth
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: quarter got replayed. This got replayed a lot. So if
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear what happened the fallout on this and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: perhaps not, perhaps you were not paying attention. We've learned
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that Victor Wembanyama will not will not be assessed a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: flagrant foul for the shove of Jalen Brunson during Game
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: three the other night, in front of all the one
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: percenters who are at Madison Square Garden. Now, the play
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: happened in the first quarter, and to describe it for
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: our blind listeners, Brunson tried to sit a screen and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: then when Manyama came over these they were just trying
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to set a screen on when Manyama seven foot four
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Spindley and he turned one Banyama and did what anyone
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: would do. He just shoved brunch into the ground like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a sack of trash. Get out of here, both hands
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: right to the upper body. I just like that. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: he went down. Now, no foul was called on the play,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: despite the complaining, the whining by the Knickerbocker fans. Now
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the the NBA reviewed, it decided against upgrading the no
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: call to a flagrant foul. Now why does that matter,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Wemba Nyama will be able to stay at two points
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: at the end of this fugaze point system in the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: NBA if you get flagrant fouls all because of Rashid Wallace,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the legacy of both teams played hard. My man, both
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: teams played hard Rashid Wallace. So they put all these
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: rules in and two flagrant foul points this postseason. That's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: where Wemby is at this point, he elbowed nas. Read
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of your menis Timberwolves. That was in the second round
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of the place. So he picked up a couple points
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: on that. And if you reach four points, what happens?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You evaporate at that point four If you reach four points,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that triggers an automatic suspension. So the NBA senior vice
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: president of Bureaucracy and referee Development, somebody named Monty McCutchen,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: who's been aroun for a while, he said, the foul
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: should have been called on the court, should have been
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: called on the court. But you know what that means.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't escalated retroactively, meaning ix nay on the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: retroactive punishment. A. So, as a result of all this,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: one Manyama is being called the NBA's new Golden Boy.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: The Wemby rules, all of that stuff. Do the treatment
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he is receiving here from the league in the NBA Finals.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: discuss the question, and I'll give you a two part question.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Is Spurs star victor Wan Banyama getting special treatment from
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the NBA? And is this a problem? Is this a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: big fundamental problem. So I've got Pastrami sandwich on rye
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: with mustard, flip phone and start trek, and we will
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna walk
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the beat. We're on the overnight beats. We're gonna walk
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the beat all night long. So a to answer the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: question two part question, the first part is Spurs star
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Victor wiman Yama getting preferential special treatment? Absolutely, of course
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: he is. Wemby is getting treated like he's the adopted
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: son of Adam Silver and got put on the insurance
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: plan and they just want to take care of him
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and that's it. And the NBA protects him like he's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what the last baby manatee at a place in Florida
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: where they're protecting the baby manates and he's like the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: last one. They gotta protect him. Now, if you look
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: at the whistle here, whistle, whistle, whistle. If you look
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: at the whistle, the NBA refs, they it's like slapstick.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They looked away like WWE officials who suddenly didn't see
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the steel chair come flying in and hit the guy
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in the back of the hat. Didn't see that kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of the vibe. I god, Wemby could close line. I'm
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: telling you he could absolutely go out there and close
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: line a guy right into the scorer's table, and they'd
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: call it. They wouldn't call it a foul. They'd call it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They call it a vertical push, is what they'd call.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But not afoul. It's something something else and all that. Now,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: if the table's turned, and Jalen Bruss's popular player and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: obviously a big deal in New York, and all that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: If the table's turned, though, Jalen Brunson, let's say he
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: somehow is a little little bug on the rug if
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: he were able to shove Wemby, who's not very heavy.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So if Brunson shoves wehm By Yama, let's reverse the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: tables like that. Adam Silver would repel down from the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: rafters at Madison Square Garden like spider Man, Spider Man,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: spider Man, and he would give a citation to Jalen
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Brunson or anyone else the dare mess with Wemby Yama,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: don't you do that? For example, if Luke Cornet the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: big lug, the big lug there for San Antonio, if
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he did what Wemby did, I'll tell you what's gonna
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: happen on Wednesday night. Luke Cornett would be sitting down
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: having a nice Pistrami sandwich on rye with mustard at
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Cat's Delhi, watching Game four on a TV that is
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: from the nineteen eighties, and that's it, and then also
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: having to write a handwritten note of apology. So that's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: how that would go. When you crunch the numbers, outside
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of Wemby taking a Louisville slugger and bludgeoning someone is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: almost untouchable. Outside of that is almost untouchable. And while
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it is expected and it is understandable that this is
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: how this is going here, the reason it's understandable, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: precedent has been said way back almost fifty years ago,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird we're playing the NBA
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: is all about the cavalcade of Stars, and Wemby is
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the teacher's pet. He's the lucky star at this point,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and he's the darling. I don't have the ways I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: can say it. I think we kind of get the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: point now. And it's a TV show, it's on ABC,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and Wemby is the lead actor. Everyone else an extra.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's the Wemby world. That's that's it. And there is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a dimension of the multiverse where the NBA is like,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: this guy's going to be in the finals until every
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: year until twenty forty, so we might as well just
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: get used to it. Don't even hide it. Do not
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: even hide it now turning the page, but not far.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: We're going to continue with this theme here the Alumni
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Association on page two enters the chat the Alumni Association.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So former next player and I believe there's a museum
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for him in China loves China's fall on Marbury, highly
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: overrated ballplayer in his ear in the NBA, was supposed
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to be a legend, just never all that good anyway,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: he's out there, yeap. And he played with the Knicks
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: way back. I was barely alive in four to nine,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a a little kid. Fact. Then he played for the Knickerbockers,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and he went on a passionate rant Stefan Marbury of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: course on social media where else, and criticized the Wimby
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: move that we just talked about as dirty dirty, dirty
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: dirty dirty dirty dirty, dirty dirty and typical of he said.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Wemby then attacked all international players and he said, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it overseas, that's how the play, and he urged the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: next this is the key part Marbury urging the Knickerbockers
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to retaliate with physicality in game four. And here's the quote.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Just imagine I am the aforementioned Stefan Wemby is an
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: international player. The quote began, they played dirty overseas. If
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I'm watching film and I see Wemby throw somebody on
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: my team next game, I'm going to pop him in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: his rib cage so hard with my elbow. After y'all
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: watch that film what he did Jalen Brunson. Quote continues,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you better make sure you put that knife in his
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: neck next game. Wow, all right, it seems rather violent. Okay,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So the question what is your instinct on former New
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: York Knicks guards Stefan Marbury demanding retaliation on the Spurs
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Wemby in all of that because of the shove of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson. So Stephan Marbury's out there, he wants the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: eye for the eye. I believe that's called the eye
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for the eye retaliation here on Victor Wiman. Yeah, I'm
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: for that shove of Brunson. And it's the rant was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: pure old testament basketball, Like he's speaking the language of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the elbow, the forearm, the punch to the nuts back
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: alley screens like, that's what he's talking about. However, the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: modern NBA, they don't operate. That's why this is so outragised.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Like what Wemby did, if you're of a certain age,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: was just like every game that happened. It wasn't that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: big a deal. They didn't have to look at it
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: from seventeen different camera angles, and that was just the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: reality of the situation. Of course, now it's been so
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: many years since the NBA was like that because the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: players don't seem to care all that much, at least
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: during the regular season. They don't care, and they're all
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: buddies with each other. And so that's the old generation.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't even really when Marbury was playing either.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: It didn't go on too much. It was like the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: tail end. If anything, it was the tail end when
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Marbury was doing this thing for the Knicks and all
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: those other teams, and so in the NBA is all
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: about hugs and good vibrations and all that stuff, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: so you look at it, they'd rather cuddle than elbow
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: each other. They just what it's proper to corn and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the other thing. When you do push back, you must follow.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And this goes from beginning of time. When you do
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: push back, you must follow the Nike marketing slogan just
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: do it, meaning real retaliation is silent, it's sudden. It
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: is not telegraphed how And the issue here is that
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the marbur is talking like this is the Nix of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the mid nineties, the mid nineties Nicks and spoiler alert,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: this is not a Nicks heat matchup in the mid
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: nineties or late nineties here, and you don't have Charles
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Oakley or Anthony Mason. They're not walking through that door.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Mason's cross to Parley Gates and Oakley is not allowed
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: in or he'll get arrested for trespassing by James Dolan.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So they're done. The Knicks have not had that tough
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: side to them since people had flip phones and fax machines.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: It's been that long. Here. The other bugaboo, since we're
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: on the bugglebooz. The other bugaboo here, as we've talked
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: about Wemby, the face as Lebron has gotten old the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: last couple of years, Wemby is the face of the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: NBA to come here, and as we talked about, you
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: cannot mess with that, and so you have to protect
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: him like he's the pope and the popemobile. You gotta protect, protect, protect,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: protect all right now, last word to King James Land.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Where is King James Land? We're not sure. However, Lebron
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: James has entered the endless Michael Jordan versus Lebron goat debate.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Time Magazine was apparently still in business. I think that's impressive,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: because who's reading Time magazine? Anyway, They went out there
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and said he gave an interview, a recent interview to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Time Magazine, which I house bouncing around the web, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Lebron was asked about his place among basketball legends, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: he said, quote, I am not taking nobody over me.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I think he learned that at Duke. Oh he didn't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: go to Duke. Where are you learning? Okay? Anyway, that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: was quote I'm not taking nobody over me. There's no question.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Quote continues, but Lebron said, I think Mike will say
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the same thing, rest his soul. Kobe will say the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: same thing, Magic will say the same thing, Bird will
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: say the same thing. Shack could say the same thing.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: The late great Wilt Kareem. He's ran through all these
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: other players and went on and on and on answer
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the question, do you have a problem with Lebron James
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: picking him as the goat and saying everyone would do
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the same thing. So let's put this under the Mallard microscope,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: examining the curious case of Lebron James, a man who
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: claims he does not obsess over barber shop goat talk.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: He's mentioned this many times over the years, all while
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: holding a pair of clippers. And he's got the mirror there,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and he owns the chair, he's the whole thing. And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I don't do that. That's the Lebron. I do not
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: do that. I do not do it, all right, So
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a problem. It's more of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a pet peeve. And I have a bully pulpit here
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to air my grievances, so I will take advantage of that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And I will now explain to you, my friend, my
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: pet peeve. So I get that every all time, great
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: backs them sell and that's they believe in themselves, although
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they don't normally say it, right, they don't say it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And and Lebron does come across as a douchey mcdouche
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: when the way that he says, like Lebron naming himself
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the goat is kind of like directing your own biopic
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and giving yourself the Oscar. And I hate to burst
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Lebron's ego bubble. Michael Jordan never if you can prove
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to me I'm wrong, I will correct this. To my knowledge,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan never ever called himself the goat. That he
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was not raised that way, and he just acted like
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he was the goat and let other people decide that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you're the greatest of all time and all that stuff.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But watch all of MJ's run with the Bulls, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I watched all the Lebron James run with these seventeen
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: different teams Lebron's played for. And what air Jordan did.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: He took the baton. Well, forget Maggie Johnson and Larry
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Bird were very popular and they were becoming even more
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: popular in the NBA. They had his renaissance in the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. And then Jordan in that era came along
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: right around the showtime Lakers and the Celtics, who are
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: these great teams, and he took the baton. Jordan from
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Magic and Bird and then had a dust storm. Jordan
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: reached a different dimension of star Dust and he went
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Star Trek. Is what Jordan was able to do there,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to explore strange new worlds never before seen by an
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: NBA player, and to boldly go where no man had
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: gone before. And while Lebron's career is the greatest sequel
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: ever made, every man, woman and child knows the sequel
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is never the equal. And that's the reality. And Jordan's
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: teams were they six and zero in the finals something
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: like that with the Bulls believe they were. And Pete
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Dobbins Lebron quantity, quantity over quality. And by the way,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: we have a little text to Lebron we'd like to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: send out here, and this is voice to text. The
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: rule has always been, if you have to declare yourself
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the goat, you're probably not.

• 18:43
  Speaker 1: his phrasing, not my phrasing. It's more likely than not
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that Aaron Donald will come back, especially if the Rams
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: present a clear plan for usage. There have been some
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: chatter that the Rams are going to let him skip games,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: only playing home games. Key divisional games skip some of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the weaker games on the RAMS schedule is who knows
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: if that's I doubt that's true. That's not the way
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL has done business. They're not like basketball or baseball.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: People have brought up to Roger Clemens thing. If you're old,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: there was this pitcher named Roger Clemens, big steroid cheat,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and he came back and they let him pitch in
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: limited games and they gave him all these rules that
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: were just for him normally. That's not how it goes
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in the NFL world anyway. Good jumping off point. The
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: key part of that more likely than not, that's the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: money quote, and that's what we're going to play off
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: of here as we discuss the question how much value,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: how much value do you put on this report saying
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: it is more likely than not that Aaron Donald will
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: return to the Rams for the twenty twenty six regular season.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: So my observations have got civil court, human rights violation,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and beastie boys, and we will combine all of these
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: things together, will lock them together there, and we're gonna
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: be guile time. We're going to beguile time, is what
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: we're doing here.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: We always start with number one, number one, number one,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: number one, having fun.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: This is the classic June Things are a little rocky,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: kind of slow story in the news cycle of the NFL,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the cottage industry where you have to have fresh, piping
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: hot news every day. When I hear the phrase more
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: likely than not, I flash back. There was this ridiculous
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: investigation the Miami Dolphins. Jonathan Martin I think was the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: guy's name, And this goes back in number of years.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And so the NFL hired this big lawyer law firm
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: group to come in and investigate, and they released this
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: long manifesto and seem like every other thing as I
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: remember in this manifesto was it's more likely either or not.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And so then I felled down a rabbit hole. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: fell back, and I said, it's annoying. The phrase is
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: annoying more likely than not, and it's just a cowards
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: way of saying yes without saying yes.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Do I say it every once in a while, Absolutely,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'm a coward. I do say it. It's a legal phrase.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: And what I discovered this is years ago. All right,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: When you hear it's more likely than not, that is
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the standard used in civil court it's called a preponderance
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of the evidence, you know, in a criminal case, beyond
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a reasonable doubt. Well, in the civil court a little
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: over fifty percent guilty. Guilty. That's why Oj Simpson was.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: He killed people. He's dead now, but he chopped two
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: people's heads off, except they couldn't prove it in the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: criminal court. However, in the civil court, preponderance or the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: evidence they got him. And so of course this is
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: obviously not a courtroom. We know that. It's just educated
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: guesswork is what it is. Here's the truth. Miles Garrett
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: is not just a ram. He's not just a possible
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: new teammate for Aaron Donald. That is a recruitment magnet,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: is what that is. And with the Super Bowl being
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: hosted in the Hood and Inglewood and up to no Good.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: After the season, Aaron Donald, he's gone on the record
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and he's admitted that Miles Garrett and him together for
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: sure said got him thinking. He said, he has to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: feel the passion. He can't just make love. He has
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to have the passion to really go for it. So
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: he retired after the twenty twenty three season. If you've
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: been in a coma and he has not become a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: couch potato. We understand he still works out multiple times
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: during the day, and we hear that he's working out
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: like a madman right now to see if he can
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: find the spark plug to unlock a higher power, a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: higher level and come back to the rams. And you
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: would assume if he did not want to come back.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: If he did not want to come back, Aaron Donald
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL, he would not be training like
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: a man possessed getting ready for a fight with Thanos.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't be doing that. And obviouly things heat up
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: between now in the next couple of weeks. He kind
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: of want to announce that before training camp. Although there's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: also a world where Aaron Donald doesn't. He's so decorated.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: They said, don't even go to training camp, just sit
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: out training camp, which I don't like. I don't like this.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It's a part of the whole thing. You got to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: go through the drudgery of that stuff. Although it's really
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: soft now then it used to be back in the day.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: These guys make it seem like they're going to boot camp.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It is not that. So the smart money does say
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: that Aaron Donald will be back in less snap crack
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: pop happens, he pops a tire and obviously that won't happen.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: The good news is if he does pop a tire,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: we can do a tire Rack commercial and then he'll
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: go over to tire Rack get a new tire, and
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: he'll be good to go. He has Michelin grade tires,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: so he's in good shape. Now, page dude, we go
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota, where the soap opera continues. I know Eke
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: and Rosevio Minnesota on the edge of his seat right now,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Doc Dan can't get enough of the drama vikings. Little
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Fella quarterback Kyler Murray complaining, complaining that splitting practice reps
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: with JJ McCarthy during the mini camp, Well, it's making
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it hard. Take a listen. We have the audio. Here's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a little alligator arms. Kyler Murray commenting on having the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: split reps.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: I think the sofest part is again, I was there
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: for seven years. I know I had two different offensive systems,
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: but at the same time, you're getting all those reps
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: you know. Now, having a split reps, it's me already
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: being behind, not getting the amount of reps that you
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: know you would typically want to guy to get learn offense.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: That's probably the toughest part.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: You know, just again going back to the past, being
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: in control of everything. I understand on what we were
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: already doing because I was comfortable within the system. Now
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: coming in the new system, learning on the fly, trying
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: to play fast of fishing and then let let it
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: loose while learning is pretty you know, that's the toughest part.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So hard. So we have a moment of silence for
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray having to learn the playbook and not having
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: all the reps. Okay, question do you feel for Kyler Murray?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Do you feel for Alligator arms Kyler Murray that he
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: has to share the reps and it's hard for the Vikings? Oh,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: it's so hard, all right. Yeah, there's a real SOB story,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: isn't it. They get the little violin out, please cry me.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: The Mississippi River, okay, which splits the Twin Cities. You
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: can cross the Mississippi River. You can go from Minneapolis
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to Saint Paul and all that. Anyway, the point is,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: like you get a share. The reason you have to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: share is because of Malfia, since that's the reason you're
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: in this situation, like Kyler Murray, making it seem like
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: this is so difficult. Oh my god, I'm behind splitting reps.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It's like a human rights violation. I find the whole
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: thing comedy. I find it a Night at the Improv.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: It's a Netflix comedy special. Kyler, you did not lose reps.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: You lost leverage. That's why you're here. You knew the deal.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And if Kyler Murray hadn't been mid with the Cardinals,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: he would not be in a situation where he has
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to share reps with the Minnesota Vikings and alliantor Armscott
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: all of the reps. He talked about it for seven years.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: He got all the reps and he wasn't very good.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: So it's possible it's better that he doesn't get all
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the reps because when he got all the reps, e
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: didn't quite work out. There didn't quite work out, and
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: he could actually benefit less is more and keep them fresh.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work out in the NFL, when
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: he's playing late night Call of Duty on Twitch, she'll
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: be in really good and really good mindset there. He'll
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: be able to focus in on the joystick and play
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Call of Duty. Now Murray is upset. Obviously, he can't
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: speed run that Viking playbook, like the video game tutorial.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: He can't just you know, kind of run through that
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: real quick. And now that said, this is the most
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Fox quarterback controversy that we've had in years. And everyone
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: knows it. You and I and the person in the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: back over there, they a we all know it. This
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: is not legit. It is not. And it does seem
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: though Kyler's going to get the job. He's already got
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: it in his back pocket, and he's going to suck
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: at a time you cannot suck Kyler Murray. And he's
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: already planting the seed. The seed of it ain't my fault.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't get enough reps. If only I'd gotten more
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: reps back in shoot, I wouldn't suck here in mid September,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that whole thing. He's planting that to prepare and alibi
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: when the purple haze settles over him. All right now,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: final point to New York or slightly across the river
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: there the Hudson, New Jersey, where the Jets. We knew
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: this for a while. The Jets have had. They have
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: as many primetime games as we do here at Fox
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio in the NFL zero zero primetime games scheduled
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty six NFL season. Bupkiss Squad, Douche
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: zip Bo. Now this is the first time, believe it
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: or not, the first time since twenty seven we are
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: told that they have been shut out of prim time.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: That is, if my math is correct, nineteen seasons, almost
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a generation, and the Jets have always had at least
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: one primetime game. Now they're not alone. There are four
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: others wearing the dunce cap, the Embarrassments, the ugly redheaded
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: step children of the NFL, the Raiders, the Dolphins old
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: those teams used to matter, they don't matter anymore. Cardinals
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they've never mattered. And the Tennessee Titans, who are pretty
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: average for a while and now they just suck. And
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: those teams not on the TV. The Boop, Well, they're
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: on the TV if you only watch the primetime games.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: They don't get a prime time game. And they're not
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: in the same with those other teams that Titans, Raiders, Cardinals,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and Dolphins are not in the same boat. And the Jets,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: if you look at where they are right now, and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: they're not just in the bottom, they're in the sewer.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Is where they are now. The head coach Aaron Glenn
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: was asked about this. He said to me, it's more
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: of you earn the right. This is from Aaron Glenn.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: You don't have to really learn his name. He won't
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: be the coach of the Jets much longer. I said,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: that's the good thing about this league. You earn your right, players, coaches, everybody.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You earn your right to get what you get in
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: this league. Close quote. Now, that is seen as a
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: motivational statement. Clearly Aaron Glenn believing this will somehow inspire
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the boys to have a good year just so they
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: can get some games on prime time. Now, the question
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, coach of New York, the AFC team in
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: New York. Aaron Glenn says that the Jets have to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: earn the right for prime time TV matchups. What say you?
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: So I will go for Aaron Glenn gave a perfectly
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: pragmatic response. He mixed coach speak in his rebuttal, so
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: he hit all of those notes pragmatic coach speak talking
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: about the Jets getting shut out of the primetime schedule. Now,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he said, you have to earn the right to play
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: under the lights, right, That was his line and Aaron
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: is being polite. Aaron Glenn is being nice. We don't
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: have to be We're not part of the mainstream media.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: We're not part of the establishment. We don't go party
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: with these people. We can be honest here we are
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: on in the middle of the night, so we play
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: ball under the lights. Unlike the Jets. We have the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: lights on here in the studio, so they don't get
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to do that and all that. We don't have to
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: play nice, so we can be unfiltered, and we'll do that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: The Jets did not lose primetime. Let's be clear on that.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: They didn't miss out on national TV. They were evicted.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: The eviction papers came in. It took nineteen years and
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: now they're done. Usually a team in the top media
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: market gets if you're in the top media market, you
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: get at least one. We call it a pity game. Pity, pity, pity.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: You get a pity game just because you have New York,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: New York written and stitched into your jerseys. Now, this
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: year the end was like, no pity for you. You've
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: been evicted. You don't get any pity. And you know
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: how historically bad you have to be for the NFL
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to book and their television partners at the massive New
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: York television audience and not say just give him a
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: just give him a random Monday night or a Thursday
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: night game. No, no, no, no thanks. We're good. We
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: are good, all right. Now, forget earning prime time. That's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: not that's not it. The Jets haven't even earned daytime.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know when else they can play because they're
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: not very good during the day either. They suck at night.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: They can't get on there. Now where else is there?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know which? Which brings to mind the old
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Beastie Boys tune you gotta fight for your right to
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: not be a TV ratings liability. See, they actually sung
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: it about the Jets. The Beastie Boys sung that about
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: just nobody. Nobody is lining up to watch Geno Smith.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: He is poison under center and he's been that way
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: ever since he started for Seattle a couple years back.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: And so I enjoy those one o'clock starts. And that's
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: not good at one o'clock, it's certainly not worthy. It's
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: obscene content. At eight o'clock, and not even the Jets
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: fans want to watch them, whether it's during the day
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: or at night.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: How about that to the third degree.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: This is one big Ben gets it right.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Over to the Cooper Hoop we go, Coop.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: It was reported earlier this week that when leaving the
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Eagles facility for the last time, aj Brown signed a
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: wall with photos of himself on it and added the
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: best to ever play here always open.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's very very sweet of him the Ben.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: Is he the best receiver ever to playing Philly?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: No, not even close. Now, old timers will say, Harold,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: this guy named Harold Carmichael, who is before your time, Coop.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And I was a kid when he played. But he's
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: like the greatest Eagle of all time. But Deshaun Jackson
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: was very good. That's an old reference also to Shaun Jackson.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: What else I love too? Yeah, yeah, I'm a CEO guy,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: all right. Next, the Toronto.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Blue Jays have had a rough start to the season,
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: they said, eight games behind the Yankees and the Raids
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: in the Al East. However, Dylan season Max Sures are
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: are back. See's gotta win on Tuesday. If anything, Toronto
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: can turn things around. I don't sense they're going to
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: turn things around.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: The magic they had last year they don't have right now,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and I don't see how they're gonna find the magic.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I know it's June, there's plenty of time left. They
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: lost Boba sht he's not been great with the Mets.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: That there's something missing from Toronto. I don't think they're
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: gonna do it next.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: Giants slambacker Brian Burns that on Monday that everyone in
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: the team is excited and it feels different this year.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Do you expect What do you expect from the Giants
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: this season? I do expect them to be better. I
• 34:51
