- 0:02Speaker 2: It's our number two. We continue our in depth team
- 0:07Speaker 2: coverage on the podcast about all the big moves in
- 0:10Speaker 2: the NFL as the transaction wire overheating. Do you have
- 0:14Speaker 2: a word for the type of skill set that quarterback
- 0:17Speaker 2: Justin Fields brings with him from Pittsburgh as he goes
- 0:20Speaker 2: to the Jets? Also, how should the Jets fans feel
- 0:24Speaker 2: about Justin Fields coming to town as QB number one?
- 0:27Speaker 2: And does Najie Harris flip the tables for the Chargers offense?
- 0:32Speaker 2: The running back leaving Pittsburgh heading to Los Angeles.
- 0:36Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
- 0:39Speaker 2: It is our number two, failing and getting more opportunities,
- 0:47Speaker 2: the story of one NFL quart of actually many NFL quarterbacks,
- 0:51Speaker 2: but one we're going to talk about this hour. Welcome
- 0:54Speaker 2: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
- 0:59Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere, beside one another as
- 1:05Speaker 2: we make up ground minute by minute, coast to coast

- 1:48Speaker 2: this hour is from the Game of Musical Chairs. Our
- 1:53Speaker 2: in depth team coverage all night. We do not shut
- 1:56Speaker 2: down the transmitters of Fox Sports Radio, keeping you company
- 2:01Speaker 2: talking about players getting paid money, money, money, a lot
- 2:06Speaker 2: of money, a lot of money. Business is good in
- 2:09Speaker 2: the NFL, and you never have to worry about the
- 2:13Speaker 2: NFL people saying well, we can't really afford to pay you,
- 2:16Speaker 2: we don't have the money. They've got the money. They
- 2:21Speaker 2: have the money, and then they have even more money
- 2:24Speaker 2: and more money, and more money and more money. But
- 2:27Speaker 2: the roster shuffle. You gotta do the shuffle. So this
- 2:31Speaker 2: is the Game Green edition. Now we knew that they
- 2:34Speaker 2: kicked Aaron Rodgers out of the Jets facility. He's no
- 2:39Speaker 2: longer able to commandeer the plane there in the swamp
- 2:43Speaker 2: land of.
- 2:44Speaker 1: New Jersey, and so they have now replaced him.
- 2:46Speaker 2: We have learned that the j e Ts suck, suck, suck,
- 2:52Speaker 2: the Jets have the new pilot of the Kamikaze mission.
- 2:57Speaker 2: The Jets have agreed to terms with Justin Fields. Oh man, no,
- 3:03Speaker 2: laugh track, Loryne. No, really, Justin Fields is now a Jet,
- 3:09Speaker 2: I know, I know, all right, well, yeah, Justin Fields
- 3:13Speaker 2: gets a two year deal. Now it's forty million dollars,
- 3:15Speaker 2: which in modern NFL is not that much. You imagine
- 3:18Speaker 2: forty million dollars not being that much in the NFL today,
- 3:22Speaker 2: my Ron, all right, anyway, by here we are. The
- 3:24Speaker 2: deal includes thirty million dollars guarantee. So it is a
- 3:29Speaker 2: bit of a proved deal, something that Justin Fields knows
- 3:32Speaker 2: a thing or two about because he's usually on these
- 3:36Speaker 2: proved deals. But they pay pretty well. They pay pretty well.
- 3:40Speaker 2: And so he will be going into the season as
- 3:43Speaker 2: QB Noburn. That's right, QB number one going into training again.
- 3:51Speaker 2: And there's no one if you look at the just roster,
- 3:53Speaker 2: there's no one breathing down his neck. There there's no
- 3:56Speaker 2: one's like, oh, this guy's gonna take his job as
- 3:58Speaker 2: QB number one.
- 3:59Speaker 1: So let us just go the question, do you have
- 4:02Speaker 1: a word?
- 4:04Speaker 2: Do you have a word for the type of skill
- 4:06Speaker 2: set that Justin Fields brings to the Jets. So I've
- 4:11Speaker 2: got Gypsy, m Behold and Wheel of Fortune, and we
- 4:17Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we are
- 4:20Speaker 2: going to make a nice tropical vacation to can Kun
- 4:25Speaker 2: when the playoffs begin. Because Justin Fields ain't that guy.
- 4:29Speaker 2: You're not that guy, Pal, You're not that guy. And
- 4:32Speaker 2: I certainly will not be in the playoffs as the
- 4:34Speaker 2: Jets QB. So you don't have to worry about that
- 4:37Speaker 2: and then plan accordingly. When it comes to January of
- 4:41Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, the Jets will not be in the postseason.
- 4:44Speaker 2: So my first thought, I guess you could say number
- 4:50Speaker 2: Justin Fields is just a My word is teas. He's
- 4:55Speaker 2: a teas is the word I will use here, and
- 4:58Speaker 2: he rarely lives up to that. Now, there's some highlights
- 5:02Speaker 2: that go viral online, and there's a lot of low
- 5:05Speaker 2: information fans that get all horny watching Justin Fields. But
- 5:09Speaker 2: the problem is the point of demarcation. The line of
- 5:12Speaker 2: demarcation is consistently performing at a high level, not one
- 5:18Speaker 2: out of every five plays or two out of every
- 5:22Speaker 2: seven plays. You have to do it more often than occasionally,
- 5:27Speaker 2: and that has been the bugaboo for Justin Fields. Right,
- 5:31Speaker 2: and if we go right to the judges' scorecards on
- 5:34Speaker 2: the Malor report card for the Jets, the Jets get
- 5:38Speaker 2: a small D and Justin Fields gets a B. In fact,
- 5:43Speaker 2: I'm gonna give be a B plus to Justin Fields
- 5:45Speaker 2: on the Malle report card. The fact that Justin Fields
- 5:49Speaker 2: is still pulling this off is impressive, right. He is
- 5:53Speaker 2: getting a third bite of the apple. He's a two
- 5:57Speaker 2: time loser, and just like the laws, three strikes, you're
- 6:01Speaker 2: out for Justin Fields. When you take a look at
- 6:04Speaker 2: the big picture here, the fact that Fields is getting
- 6:07Speaker 2: another opportunity as a starter, He's given the keys to
- 6:11Speaker 2: the castle there and in this case, the keys to
- 6:13Speaker 2: the cockpit. With the Jets. He is akin to a
- 6:17Speaker 2: traveling gypsy at this point. He's a confidence man. Justin
- 6:22Speaker 2: Fields is traveling around the NFL. He flopped with the Bears,
- 6:26Speaker 2: he did a belly whopper in Pittsburgh, and now he's
- 6:30Speaker 2: on to his next hustle. He's just going from team
- 6:34Speaker 2: to team to team, and now he heads to the
- 6:36Speaker 2: demilitarized zone that is the Jets and the gypsy contractor
- 6:41Speaker 2: Justin Fields. He does poor quality work on a weekly
- 6:44Speaker 2: basis during the NFL season, and he's essentially burglarizing money
- 6:49Speaker 2: from these NFL teams and then valuables, pillaging NFL quarterback
- 6:54Speaker 2: rooms one after another, and whatever hustle you got to
- 6:59Speaker 2: do to keep that money coming. In occasional highlight, I
- 7:03Speaker 2: guess he must have a good Madden score. Aren't the
- 7:05Speaker 2: Jets run by Woody Johnson's kid who likes Madden ratings?
- 7:09Speaker 2: And so I guess he does well on Madden. As
- 7:11Speaker 2: long as you do well on Madden, you got a
- 7:13Speaker 2: chance to go play for the Jets. That's it.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Why not.
- 7:17Speaker 2: There's a lot of dough to be made, a lot
- 7:19Speaker 2: of dough out there. You can get that money, and
- 7:22Speaker 2: why not? And lasted three years on his first team,
- 7:26Speaker 2: the Bears, and was benched on his second. The one
- 7:30Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh is really ile. They don't add anybody, They
- 7:34Speaker 2: have no one. The Steelers took a sampler on Justin Fields.
- 7:38Speaker 2: They actually had a good record with Fields, and again
- 7:41Speaker 2: dumb fans thought, well, they have a good record. I
- 7:43Speaker 2: don't understand why they would get rid of Justin Fields.
- 7:46Speaker 2: And then you look a little closer and you're like, well,
- 7:49Speaker 2: imagine how much he must have been stinking up the joint.
- 7:52Speaker 2: If you're Mike Tomlin and you roll out the rotting
- 7:56Speaker 2: carcass of Russell Wilson and then Russell Wilson starts playing
- 8:00Speaker 2: like you expect Russell Wilson to play not good, and
- 8:03Speaker 2: you don't even think about going back to Justin Fields.
- 8:05Speaker 2: You have so little confidence in Justin Field's you continue
- 8:09Speaker 2: to roll out in the hospital journey Russell Wilson, Man,
- 8:14Speaker 2: that is a dead nive? What dead ni what that
- 8:17Speaker 2: things are not going well?
- 8:18Speaker 3: Now?
- 8:18Speaker 2: The problem Pittsburgh's offense, if you want to call it
- 8:22Speaker 2: that with Justin Fields extremely limited and they had the
- 8:25Speaker 2: catered to fields and that's usually the problem that Jets
- 8:27Speaker 2: will have to do the same thing. And so he'll
- 8:30Speaker 2: give the illusion of being better than he is, but
- 8:32Speaker 2: the reality is you're not winning anything. The struggles to
- 8:38Speaker 2: make progressions in the offense. I mean, these are problems
- 8:40Speaker 2: going back to his days in Chicago that he has
- 8:42Speaker 2: not been able to solve. Now page two, So how
- 8:46Speaker 2: should the Jet fan base, the New York Jet fan
- 8:50Speaker 2: base feel about Justin Fields coming to town to save
- 8:55Speaker 2: the day. I Am here, It's like Mighty Mouse. I'm
- 8:57Speaker 2: here to save the day. Yeah, so I'm more of
- 9:01Speaker 2: the same. The Jet fan does not need my advice,
- 9:04Speaker 2: but I'll give it anyway, a cynical fan handbook that
- 9:08Speaker 2: this is the personification what the Jets do and really
- 9:12Speaker 2: what the Jet fan base does of the tune that
- 9:15Speaker 2: was popular from n Behold a couple of years back.
- 9:17Speaker 2: There a numb little bug. When you're a Jets fan,
- 9:21Speaker 2: You're like a numb little bug, you are. And the
- 9:23Speaker 2: Jets backers they know this, They've been through this every
- 9:27Speaker 2: couple of years here that your body is in the
- 9:30Speaker 2: room as a Jets fan, but you're not really there,
- 9:33Speaker 2: you know, you just you're empty. There's a lot of
- 9:37Speaker 2: emptiness there and you just don't really care. You pretend
- 9:42Speaker 2: like you care, but you don't really care. And you
- 9:45Speaker 2: always expect whoever you get to screw up, and.
- 9:48Speaker 1: You're rarely wrong. You're rarely wrong in that situation.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Now, justin Field since the start of the twenty twenty
- 9:55Speaker 2: two season is the twenty seventh twenty seventh in the
- 10:00Speaker 2: completion percentage over expected out of forty four quarterbacks, So
- 10:06Speaker 2: he's in the bottom tier of quarterbacks in a completion
- 10:11Speaker 2: rate over expected, which is one of those nerd stats.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Last season, he had the third worst accuracy rate on
- 10:18Speaker 2: intermediate throws, and the only quarterbacks that were worse than
- 10:23Speaker 2: Justin Fields was last year at those intermediate throws. The
- 10:26Speaker 2: middle throws were Aaron Rogers who did it with the Jets,
- 10:31Speaker 2: and Anthony Richardson, who was so bad. How bad was he?
- 10:35Speaker 2: He's so bad he should be sent to the Canadian
- 10:38Speaker 2: Football League right now. And I don't even know if
- 10:40Speaker 2: there's any good quarterbacks in the Canadian Football League, but
- 10:42Speaker 2: see was on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will make that
- 10:45Speaker 2: happen now. Still, he's going to get another chance, despite
- 10:48Speaker 2: that resume of being one of the worst quarterbacks in
- 10:52Speaker 2: the NFL since twenty twenty two. Last season he was
- 10:55Speaker 2: in the bottom three in the intermediate throws, got replaced
- 10:58Speaker 2: by an old wash up, Russell Wilson, and the Jets
- 11:02Speaker 2: are so desperate. It's like the bars closing. There's one
- 11:06Speaker 2: person left, not really that attractive, but you're like, I
- 11:09Speaker 2: want some companies, so I'll take them home. And I
- 11:12Speaker 2: know they're not really attractive and all that, but I
- 11:14Speaker 2: just need someone to hang out with. And so Justin
- 11:17Speaker 2: Fields is that person. Now, final point we had a
- 11:20Speaker 2: running back another running back changing teams. Jim Harbaugh and
- 11:23Speaker 2: the Lightning Bolts have made a move in NFL free agency.
- 11:28Speaker 2: The Chargers have agreed to terms with running back Nasee Harris.
- 11:33Speaker 2: So he's leaving Pittsburgh. There's a theme here to the
- 11:36Speaker 2: last couple hours. Get you got Justin Fields leaving Pittsburgh
- 11:40Speaker 2: to go to the Jets. You also have now Nasee
- 11:43Speaker 2: Harris leaving the city of Pittsburgh going to Los Angeles.
- 11:48Speaker 2: He gets a one year contract. That's it, a one
- 11:50Speaker 2: year contract with the Chargers. So does the former Steeler
- 11:56Speaker 2: running back Najee Harris flip the tables for the charge
- 12:00Speaker 2: Arger's offense?
- 12:01Speaker 1: Does it flip the table.
- 12:02Speaker 2: In any way? So this is like the wheel of fortune.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Imagine if you will spinning the wheel of fortune. Now,
- 12:09Speaker 2: can I get an N and an O? I would
- 12:12Speaker 2: like an N and and oh? Yeah, I need an
- 12:14Speaker 2: N and oh. All right, and let's slap those. Let's
- 12:19Speaker 2: slap the N and the oh, and I'll solve the puzzle.
- 12:21Speaker 2: The puzzle is no. The answer to the puzzle is no. Yes,
- 12:26Speaker 2: thank you. Now, realizing that this isn't in exact science,
- 12:30Speaker 2: we did a rant about Harris the other day here
- 12:34Speaker 2: ranting and raving on the radio, and it does not
- 12:38Speaker 2: appear that this is the kind of a player that
- 12:41Speaker 2: has the wow factor to them. And that is one
- 12:44Speaker 2: of the reasons that Harris gets a one year contract
- 12:47Speaker 2: Najee Harris with the Chargers, because the general consensus is
- 12:50Speaker 2: he's not that guy. He's not. He is a lumbering
- 12:55Speaker 2: running back, a plodding style that does not translaid to
- 13:01Speaker 2: the ras Mataz does not those game breaking runs. And
- 13:05Speaker 2: my evidence on that if you missed it in a
- 13:07Speaker 2: previous episode of the show, we went over the numbers
- 13:09Speaker 2: here and I was like, I watched the Steelers play
- 13:11Speaker 2: a fair amount. They're usually in some big games on
- 13:14Speaker 2: television during the NFL season, primetime games and big Sunday
- 13:18Speaker 2: late afternoon TV games and whatnot. So Harris, well, he
- 13:22Speaker 2: has had the marching and shout of society. Will say, well,
- 13:25Speaker 2: he's had four years of thousand yards, so all four
- 13:29Speaker 2: years he's gone over thousand yards, but he's never gone
- 13:32Speaker 2: past one thousand and forty three yards. So it's like
- 13:35Speaker 2: right at the number, right, just at the number one
- 13:39Speaker 2: thousand and forty three rushing yards. And despite all those
- 13:43Speaker 2: thousand yard seasons mentioned his style of play, a very slow,
- 13:50Speaker 2: methodical style.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He's averaged three point nine yards per carry.
- 13:53Speaker 2: He's never had one of those breakaway runs, never had
- 13:57Speaker 2: a run of forty or more yards in his NFL career. Ever,
- 14:03Speaker 2: over one thousand carries, almost eleven hundred carries in his career,
- 14:06Speaker 2: he's never broken one, never taken the hand off at
- 14:09Speaker 2: the fifteen yard line and gone all the way to
- 14:11Speaker 2: peydrt or anywhere twenty thirty forty yard line. None of
- 14:16Speaker 2: that just does not have that breakaway ability where even
- 14:20Speaker 2: if you get through the line, he's gonna get tackled
- 14:23Speaker 2: from behind. It's going to happen. So more of the
- 14:26Speaker 2: same for the Lightning Bolts and Harris comes from Pittsburgh,
- 14:29Speaker 2: he'll take over as the RB one for the Chargers. JK.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Dobbins has not been re signed, and Gus Edwards was
- 14:38Speaker 2: given the pink slip.
- 14:39Speaker 1: He was fired by Jim Harbaugh and let go.
- 14:43Speaker 2: So Harris can make up to remember those are the
- 14:46Speaker 2: most powerful weasel words in sales. Is up to you
- 14:51Speaker 2: look online, you do some shopping, They say up to.
- 14:55Speaker 2: And anytime it says up to, you're not gonna get
- 14:57Speaker 2: close to the up to number anyway, a weasel term
- 15:00Speaker 2: nine point two million, and then he'll hit the open
- 15:03Speaker 2: market again, go to market after the twenty twenty five season.
- 15:08Speaker 1: It is the Ban Malord Show.

- 18:02Speaker 2: hour for Cite the Bite, the great sports radio mystery.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Cite the Bite will be coming up in our number four.
- 18:09Speaker 2: A lot of NFL moving and shaking and whatnot. Although
- 18:13Speaker 2: Glenn did write in he enjoyed that guy from Seattle.
- 18:17Speaker 2: He says back in an hour one, he says, always great
- 18:19Speaker 2: to hear the occasional lebron.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Ballasher calling of the show.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Yeah, well the lebron Ballasher, the coenest ass no the
- 18:29Speaker 2: balls and I see your balls. Yeah, it's all about
- 18:32Speaker 2: the balls. So the people the call that have their
- 18:35Speaker 2: agenda callers, we get a lot of that in syndicated
- 18:38Speaker 2: sports radio. The agenda caller, their talk radio calling whores.
- 18:44Speaker 2: They call every sports radio show, and there's not that
- 18:47Speaker 2: many shows that take calls anymore because of these people.
- 18:50Speaker 2: They call every single show. They're horrors of sports talk radio.
- 18:53Speaker 2: They have an agenda like that guy probably never even
- 18:56Speaker 2: heard the show and he just he wanted a rant
- 18:58Speaker 2: about Lebron James and Steve A. Smith, And he ran
- 19:01Speaker 2: through whatever device he was listening on, whether it was
- 19:04Speaker 2: some app or whether it was the old school radio,
- 19:06Speaker 2: and he found the show. And he's an agenda guy.
- 19:09Speaker 2: He had an agenda. He's probably making that same phone
- 19:11Speaker 2: call somewhere else and there's no one listening. But he's
- 19:14Speaker 2: making that same phone call somewhere else. He's probably calling
- 19:16Speaker 2: George Nori over coast to coast and George is trying
- 19:19Speaker 2: to talk about keemtrails or some kind of goblin from
- 19:22Speaker 2: somewhere out in the Milky Way, and this guy's calling
- 19:25Speaker 2: up talking about Steven A and Lebron. Because that's how
- 19:28Speaker 2: that call operates, that's how that works. I'll take some calls.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones right now. We'll say hello
- 19:33Speaker 2: to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Then you know, I know average, you know you're the
- 19:45Speaker 5: only show attention to that call.

- 27:56Speaker 2: might read it on the air at Ben mallor Allen
- 28:00Speaker 2: prop guy says, I love hollering James. However, I have
- 28:02Speaker 2: heard him on Bernie Fratto's show and others on FSAR.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Hold on a secure, James, Are you there, James, Hold
- 28:11Speaker 2: on a sec Let me see the line.
- 28:13Speaker 1: James, you're being outed here as a as a liar.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Mallard prop guy says, you've called Bernie Frattle on the
- 28:19Speaker 2: weekends and other FSR shows. How do you plead hollering James?
- 28:24Speaker 5: Can I be like old Jay Simpson on one Jame?
- 28:26Speaker 2: I need an answer, James, you're a hostile witness. Yes
- 28:29Speaker 2: or no?
- 28:31Speaker 5: It's uh. I played the Fifth Amendment.
- 28:37Speaker 2: He's dead to me. He lied to me. You don't
- 28:39Speaker 2: lie to me. Hollering James. It's a bad job by you.
- 28:42Speaker 2: Let's go to Tony in the Bay Area. What's going on? Tony?
- 28:46Speaker 5: Hey?
- 28:47Speaker 4: Ben, my girlfriend has a wooden nipple. I got a
- 28:50Speaker 4: job as a bloom popper by dropping my pants. If
- 28:53Speaker 4: I was Asian, I'd be called Little Wayne. I need
- 28:57Speaker 4: to shave my armpits because it looks like I got
- 28:59Speaker 4: buck weed. In a headline, my girlfriend, so fad shaped
- 29:02Speaker 4: the pork chop tried around my neck? Thanks Ben?
- 29:10Speaker 2: What is that? What is going on with him? Do
- 29:13Speaker 2: we need to do a wellness check on Tony in
- 29:15Speaker 2: the Bay Area? Like, what do we got going on there?
- 29:20Speaker 2: In the last week, he tried to do the Mallard
- 29:22Speaker 2: Militia oath. He screwed that up. Then he said he'd
- 29:25Speaker 2: do the octagon against Marcel and Brooklyn and got dumped
- 29:30Speaker 2: within about fifteen seconds.
- 29:33Speaker 6: He's upset about that because apparently, I guess you said
- 29:36Speaker 6: if you have multiple dumps, you're disqualified.
- 29:38Speaker 2: So he thought he just had a freebie in his pocket.
- 29:43Speaker 1: So he tried to shoot a shot right away.
- 29:44Speaker 2: But I believe there were two things he said that
- 29:46Speaker 2: did not make it on the air in the first
- 29:48Speaker 2: twenty seconds, right, I think there were two things that
- 29:51Speaker 2: we had to except right Lorena, right now, I do believe. So, yeah,
- 29:55Speaker 2: so he did go right away. I mean he uh,
- 29:59Speaker 2: there's a two I don't know I can use. But
- 30:01Speaker 2: he used all of his bullets, shall we say. And
- 30:04Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of faith. You know, once
- 30:06Speaker 2: the once the tape is ripped off, it's just it's
- 30:09Speaker 2: seas Yeah, yeah, when you get comfortable and we you
- 30:11Speaker 2: know this, I think we should be able to curse.
- 30:13Speaker 2: I'd love to be a lot of fun. It's ridiculous
- 30:16Speaker 2: that we it's the middle of the night. Who the
- 30:18Speaker 2: hell's listening, and certainly not kids, and so we should
- 30:21Speaker 2: have some fun. But the evil Empire does not allow that.
- 30:26Speaker 2: That's a bad job by them. Shame on them. Yeah,
- 30:30Speaker 2: uh no. Stradina says, there's absolutely nobody from Montana that
- 30:34Speaker 2: sounds like that. Lorena just defended every cow, sheep and
- 30:37Speaker 2: moose in the state. Late night drug tester says the
- 30:41Speaker 2: Montana accent is off by Lorena, but hollering James doesn't
- 30:45Speaker 2: care as long as he gets female attention. Well, that's
- 30:48Speaker 2: about right. The bar is not high for for not
- 30:54Speaker 2: where James is So Jamar Chase, he's the chase is on.
- 30:59Speaker 2: He's trying to get paid by the Cincinnati Bengals. No
- 31:02Speaker 2: contract yet, money is flying everywhere. So he shared a
- 31:07Speaker 2: cryptic message on social media the ben Gals wide receiver,
- 31:12Speaker 2: Jamar Chase. It read a total of six words, know
- 31:20Speaker 2: your worth, then add tax, Know your worth, and then
- 31:28Speaker 2: add tax. So it's projected that Jamar Chase is going
- 31:32Speaker 2: to earn forty million dollars or more per year average
- 31:35Speaker 2: annual value in his next contract. The chatter is he'll
- 31:40Speaker 2: get a four year deal somewhere around one hundred and
- 31:42Speaker 2: sixty something million dollars. He won the Triple Crown last season.
- 31:47Speaker 2: There is still a shot that he does not stay
- 31:50Speaker 2: in Cincinnati because the Bengals are a bunch of tightwads
- 31:55Speaker 2: and they don't like to spend that money. So the
- 31:57Speaker 2: the the idea that all of those those guys will
- 32:00Speaker 2: be back. Trey Hendrickson's already asked for a trade and
- 32:04Speaker 2: has been granted his wish to talk to other teams.
- 32:07Speaker 2: T Higgins is the franchise wide receiver, but it's not
- 32:11Speaker 2: impossible to think that the Bengals will just pay Jamar
- 32:14Speaker 2: Chase and then t Higgins will go somewhere else. They'll
- 32:17Speaker 2: work out a sign and trade situation and opt out
- 32:22Speaker 2: of the franchise tag. So we'll keep an eye on that.
- 32:27Speaker 2: But the cryptic message, which would have gotten a lot
- 32:29Speaker 2: more play had there not been all these other moves
- 32:31Speaker 2: in the NFL, you know, we can only spend so
- 32:34Speaker 2: much time about cryptic social media post. That's a good
- 32:37Speaker 2: story though in June or May or July. May June
- 32:43Speaker 2: or July, cryptic post gets full malar monologue treatment. We'll
- 32:48Speaker 2: do frame by frame zu Bruder film style breakdown of
- 32:52Speaker 2: cryptic social media posts. In fact, that's pretty much all
- 32:54Speaker 2: we do in the month of May, June and July.

- 37:16Speaker 1: How about that?
- 37:16Speaker 3: To the third degree? This is one Big Ben gets grilled.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Cooble loop and so.
- 37:24Speaker 6: Earlier this month, the Yankees were listed as the Vegas
- 37:26Speaker 6: favorite to represent the American League in the World Series again,
- 37:29Speaker 6: but their.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Depth will be testing.
- 37:32Speaker 6: It was announced that Garrett Cole is gonna be undergoing
- 37:35Speaker 6: Tommy John surgery, U, Ben, Is the Yankee season ending
- 37:39Speaker 6: before it even starts?
- 37:40Speaker 2: Oh? God, No, No, the Yankees will still be a
- 37:43Speaker 2: playoff team and maybe they'll find somebody will actually cover
- 37:47Speaker 2: first base in the World Series in hustle, unlike Garrett Cole,
- 37:50Speaker 2: who couldn't hustle in Game five of the World Series.
- 37:53Speaker 2: I'm grateful he chose not to hustle. But the real
- 37:56Speaker 2: hustle is Garrett Cole, who likely knew months ago that
- 37:59Speaker 2: need Tommy John surgery but took that one hundred and
- 38:02Speaker 2: forty four million dollars from the Yankees and all that.
- 38:04Speaker 2: But no, the Yankees will still be right in the
- 38:06Speaker 2: mix in the America League next.
- 38:08Speaker 6: It is being reported that Ray's owner Stu Sternberg is
- 38:11Speaker 6: being pressured by Rob Manfred and other owners to sell
- 38:14Speaker 6: the team amid continued failed negotiations to get the team
- 38:16Speaker 6: a new stadium. Now, Baseball apparently wants the Rays to
- 38:20Speaker 6: stay in Tampa, believing the market can support them.
- 38:22Speaker 2: Ben, do you agree, No, I don't think Baseball really
- 38:26Speaker 2: wants the Rays to stay there. They want the greatest
- 38:29Speaker 2: sweetheart deal they can get, whether that's from Nashville or
- 38:33Speaker 2: Charlotte or some other city. They like to keep the
- 38:36Speaker 2: Rays on the East coast in the South, that's for sure.
- 38:40Speaker 2: There's no evidence that it's gonna work. The Marlins got
- 38:44Speaker 2: a new stadium, nobody goes to those games. They suck,
- 38:46Speaker 2: they don't spend any money. The Rays actually make the playoffs,
- 38:49Speaker 2: and nobody gives a rats ass. They're just worried about
- 38:52Speaker 2: the early Bird special. So I see no evidence is
- 38:54Speaker 2: gonna work there.
- 38:56Speaker 6: Next, the Denver Broncos had their best seasons since winning
- 38:59Speaker 6: the Super Bowl on twenty fifteen.
- 39:01Speaker 2: You're looking to do even going even deeper into the
- 39:03Speaker 2: playoffs this season? Sure?
- 39:04Speaker 6: What do you think is the most important need for
- 39:06Speaker 6: the Broncos that they already addressed it?
- 39:08Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I saw they signed Green Law from the
- 39:11Speaker 2: forty nine right right, So obviously Sean Payton's saying they
- 39:14Speaker 2: need defense Coople Loop. I say they need more explosive
- 39:18Speaker 2: plays on offense. That's what I would be going for.
- 39:20Speaker 2: How do we do Cooper up? Cooper Cup, by the way,
- 39:22Speaker 2: that's good. He's gonna be a Bronco. No, you fail
- 39:24Speaker 2: this edition. Cooper Cup's gonna be now. No Cooper Cup.
- 39:28Speaker 2: He's going to the Broncos. You heard it here first
- 39:31Speaker 2: HI teamwork,
