0:31
Speaker 1: The media world.
0:33
Speaker 2: What do you make of Aaron Rodgers and his sluggish
0:36
Speaker 2: plan for the free agency slight cycle, which is just
0:40
Speaker 2: pretty much to hang out and do nothing, hang out
0:43
Speaker 2: and park at the moon.
0:45
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that.
0:46
Speaker 2: And how do you dissect the proposals to end the
0:48

Speaker 2: Way Tire Buying show b So our lead this hour
2:16
Speaker 2: is from TV land, well kind of from TV land.
2:20
Speaker 2: We're doing like radio. It's not TV, although there's.
2:23
Speaker 1: Cameras in here and you'll be able to watch all
2:25
Speaker 1: of this on the YouTube soon enough. We're doing it a live.
2:29
Speaker 2: We're doing live and while the cat and mouse game
2:33
Speaker 2: continues in free agency, Ain Rogers his name popped up
2:41
Speaker 2: in media circles.
2:42
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know if you saw this or not, maybe.
2:45
Speaker 2: Maybe you missed it, but we are told that Aaron Rodgers,
2:49
Speaker 2: big name right, talked about a lot in these parts
2:52
Speaker 2: of town that Aaron Rodgers might not have a future
2:57
Speaker 2: in the big money world of NFL media.
3:00
Speaker 1: Now.
3:00
Speaker 2: The sports business website Front Office Sports tell us that
3:05
Speaker 2: Aaron Rogers not mister popular. Mister popular, there's little interest
3:12
Speaker 2: from TV executives, and many of them.
3:17
Speaker 1: Would get nowhere near.
3:21
Speaker 2: Nowhere near any kind of massive financial offer like the
3:25
Speaker 2: biblical offer that Tom Brady got when he agreed to
3:29
Speaker 2: that contract with Fox Sports.
3:30
Speaker 1: Now.
3:31
Speaker 2: Several media partners are said to be concerned the story
3:36
Speaker 2: here that Aaron Rodgers comes off as a pompous know
3:40
Speaker 2: it all.
3:41
Speaker 1: Who would turn off viewers.
3:43
Speaker 2: One anonymous source said that Aaron Rodgers is quote un insufferable,
3:50
Speaker 2: while another said that he needs an image rehab. All right,
3:54
Speaker 2: so let us discuss the question, the question for the
3:58
Speaker 2: esteem panel, what is your verdict.
4:02
Speaker 1: On Aaron Rodgers and the gloomy future?
4:07
Speaker 2: Supposedly in the media world that TV executives are not
4:10
Speaker 2: gung ho, they're not green light goh.
4:13
Speaker 1: They're yellow light or red light on Aaron Rodgers.
4:16
Speaker 2: So I've got Leonard skinnerd Cosplay, and cafeteria and we
4:23
Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we are
4:26
Speaker 2: going to make a pastrami sandwich a world famous pastrami
4:32
Speaker 2: sandwich scept from the Delhi whatever your favorite deli is. Now,
4:35
Speaker 2: first of all, after a minutes long and I'm not
4:40
Speaker 2: exaggerating minutes long Mallard deliberation, I determined that this particular
4:45
Speaker 2: story about Aaron Rodgers is fluff.
4:49
Speaker 1: It's fluffy, Mick. Fluff is what it is. And here's why,
4:53
Speaker 1: all right.
4:53
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has said repeatedly that he is not interested
4:59
Speaker 2: in following a traditional media job. That Rodgers has made
5:04
Speaker 2: enough money from the Packers and the money he made
5:08
Speaker 2: with the Jets and whatnot. He doesn't need in all
5:10
Speaker 2: the discount double check money. He doesn't need to work.
5:13
Speaker 2: He can just hang out at.
5:14
Speaker 1: His compound in Malaboo Boo and live a great life.
5:18
Speaker 1: But his goal, at least based on his word, no,
5:20
Speaker 1: heaby's lying.
5:21
Speaker 2: But he has said he's not want to be a
5:23
Speaker 2: carbon copy of Tony Romo or Troy Aikman or Peyton
5:26
Speaker 2: Manning or any of those guys. We know what we know,
5:30
Speaker 2: and what we know is that Rogers has bohemian tendencies,
5:35
Speaker 2: that he's not your normal bear.
5:38
Speaker 1: He's quirky. Think of the rock band.
5:42
Speaker 2: From the sixties there, Leonard Skinner free Burg, free Burg right.
5:46
Speaker 2: Rather than sign with a major record label, he is
5:49
Speaker 2: more likely to just be a garage band kind of guy.
5:54
Speaker 2: And from we understand Airon Rogers, he already has a
5:59
Speaker 2: million a year media job, makes way more than I make,
6:04
Speaker 2: and I mean it'll take years and years to make
6:07
Speaker 2: that money.
6:08
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers makes over.
6:09
Speaker 2: A million dollars a year to show up on his
6:12
Speaker 2: phone once or twice a week and play grab ass
6:18
Speaker 2: with Pat McAfee.
6:19
Speaker 1: So that's immedia.
6:20
Speaker 2: If you're getting paid a million dollars for a ten
6:23
Speaker 2: or fifteen minute segment.
6:25
Speaker 1: That's a side hustle.
6:27
Speaker 2: And with new media, the way this works the jockocracy
6:32
Speaker 2: in media. Aaron Rodgers could easily set up a microphone,
6:36
Speaker 2: a camera and connect all that to his laptop in
6:41
Speaker 2: the garage of his Malibu compound, and he can be
6:46
Speaker 2: smoking and joking and chat with people that are into
6:50
Speaker 2: remote viewing and goblins and time travelers and all of
6:54
Speaker 2: that in no time at all. And big media companies
7:00
Speaker 2: a top dollar to name brand celebrities who often do
7:05
Speaker 2: dog crap podcast and have no listeners. But the people
7:08
Speaker 2: running a lot of those companies are idiots, and they
7:10
Speaker 2: cut big checks so we're not worried about Aaron Rodgers.
7:14
Speaker 1: Finding a new media gate. If he wants one, he'll.
7:18
Speaker 2: Get it, whether it's Pat McAfee or Aaron can do
7:24
Speaker 2: a remote broadcast with Joe Rogan from the jungles of
7:27
Speaker 2: the Amazon.
7:29
Speaker 1: And they can go on the hunt for the.
7:31
Speaker 2: Greatest Ayahuasca and he can do the show with his
7:35
Speaker 2: partner Sasquatch, and it would be great Rogers and Sasquatch
7:41
Speaker 2: in the morning, all right. Now, Secondly, what do you
7:44
Speaker 2: make of air in Rogers and this continuum never ending,
7:53
Speaker 2: rather sluggish approach to the free agency cycle. So he's
7:59
Speaker 2: keeping the Steel and the Giants and maybe even the
8:02
Speaker 2: Vikings in their own darkness retreat. So I've determined, based
8:08
Speaker 2: on an examination of the available evidence, that it is
8:12
Speaker 2: more likely than not that Aaron Rodgers is doing cosplay
8:18
Speaker 2: that Rogers right now is playing the role of Marco Polo.
8:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:26
Speaker 2: I'll get close to the nice weather and the summer
8:28
Speaker 2: will be here. Before you know it, kids will be
8:31
Speaker 2: in the swimming pool and they'll be playing Marco Polo.
8:34
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is already playing Marco Polo. He's a globe treker,
8:39
Speaker 1: He's a hemonist.
8:41
Speaker 2: Rogers pursuit of pleasure in the offseason is the most
8:45
Speaker 2: important thing. And as long as Rogers does not sign
8:51
Speaker 2: a contract via docu sign, he can rip through any part.
8:57
Speaker 1: Of the world he wants.
8:59
Speaker 2: He can skip team activities and doesn't have to show
9:03
Speaker 2: up to any news conference, and he can go to
9:06
Speaker 2: find the gardens of Babylon and walk up those pyramids
9:10
Speaker 2: in Mexico and hang out with the Aztecs, and go
9:14
Speaker 2: back to Egypt again and wherever else he wants to go,
9:18
Speaker 2: right go on a safari somewhere in Africa.
9:22
Speaker 1: Just you knock yourself out.
9:23
Speaker 2: Aaron can float on a giant pink inflatable if he
9:26
Speaker 2: wants in any body of water, on a little flamingo
9:31
Speaker 2: floating and have a cocktail and no one can complain
9:35
Speaker 2: because he doesn't have a contract yet. Well, people will
9:37
Speaker 2: still complain, but he's not gonna be fine. Remember we
9:39
Speaker 2: got in trouble with the Jets because he went to
9:41
Speaker 2: Egypt and he skipped mandatory team activities last year and that.
9:46
Speaker 1: That really rubbed him the wrong way. Now final fault.
9:49
Speaker 1: So there have been a number of.
9:51
Speaker 2: Rule changes that have been proposed. Now we don't have
9:53
Speaker 2: time to break them all down. I'm sure we'll talk.
9:56
Speaker 1: About this more as the story continues to evolve.
9:59
Speaker 2: That we've discussed in recent months, the tushy pushy and
10:04
Speaker 2: how the Green Bay Packers are so offended by tush
10:07
Speaker 2: they would like to ban that they do not like
10:09
Speaker 2: the tush push Now a couple of the other rule
10:13
Speaker 2: change proposals that caught our attention.
10:16
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions very active.
10:18
Speaker 2: The Lions proposed a rule that would remove the automatic
10:23
Speaker 2: first down for defensive holding and illegal contact penalties.
10:29
Speaker 1: But wait, there's more.
10:30
Speaker 2: They also proposed a rule that would allow wildcard teams
10:35
Speaker 2: to be seated higher than a division champion based on record.
10:40
Speaker 2: You might remember this year, Minnesota and Detroit played for
10:44
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game in that final regular season game,
10:49
Speaker 2: and then the Vikings lost, and even though they had
10:53
Speaker 2: a better record, they were the designated road team, even
10:56
Speaker 2: though they played the game on a neutral site because
10:58
Speaker 2: of the fires in Los Angeles. But the Vikings were
11:01
Speaker 2: the road team against the Rams, all right, So a
11:04
Speaker 2: couple of things to break down here. That and also,
11:08
Speaker 2: as we mentioned, the the ending, the Lions are calling
11:11
Speaker 2: for the ending of the automatic first down for defensive
11:13
Speaker 2: holding an illegal contact. So how do you dissect the
11:16
Speaker 2: proposal to end the automatica first down on the defensive
11:22
Speaker 2: holding penalty? So I present this to you like a cafeteria.
11:28
Speaker 2: For the Detroit Lions, it's a cafeteria. It is a
11:30
Speaker 2: self serving just like you're at a cafeteria.
11:33
Speaker 1: It is a.
11:33
Speaker 2: Self serving move. And here's why the Lions, as I
11:39
Speaker 2: understand it, they want to get rid of the automatic
11:42
Speaker 2: first down for defensive holding, illegal contact and all that, because,
11:47
Speaker 2: according to the numbers, they commit the most of those
11:53
Speaker 2: type of penalties.
11:54
Speaker 1: In the entire NFL.
11:55
Speaker 2: In fact, if you go back just in their division,
11:59
Speaker 2: now they have the most to the NFL, but in
12:00
Speaker 2: their division it was thirty three percent more of those
12:07
Speaker 2: defensive holding illegal conduct are illegal contact penalties then the
12:13
Speaker 2: next closest team in their division. So the reason that
12:16
Speaker 2: this is not going to happen is rather simple, right,
12:22
Speaker 2: Rather simple. If it's third down and twenty or third
12:26
Speaker 2: and thirty, and let's say the wide receiver zooms past
12:33
Speaker 2: the defensive back and it looks like they're gonna go
12:35
Speaker 2: to pey dirt, what are you gonna do if the
12:39
Speaker 2: penalty is only a loss of five or ten yards
12:42
Speaker 2: and it's a second down and twenty rather third down
12:46
Speaker 2: and twenty or fourth down and thirty or whatever instead
12:50
Speaker 2: of an automatic first if they change that, if you're
12:53
Speaker 2: a defensive back and you're getting beat, you grab, you hold,
12:56
Speaker 2: you clutch, you tackle if you have to, what ever
13:00
Speaker 2: it takes. If you're about to get beat. Therefore it's
13:03
Speaker 2: only a five yard penalty, you're good to go. Plus
13:06
Speaker 2: the NFL officials have more control. You'll go deep state conspiracy.
13:11
Speaker 1: If you want to go there, we can go there,
13:13
Speaker 1: and they can easily influence games. It's much easier to
13:15
Speaker 1: influence games with a.
13:17
Speaker 2: Well timed, subjective, subjective automatic first down on one of
13:24
Speaker 2: those defensive holding or illegal contact penalties. You're in much
13:28
Speaker 2: better shape, much better shape now as far as the
13:32
Speaker 2: the home field, if you have a better record as
13:35
Speaker 2: a wildcard team, So I was asking around trying to
13:39
Speaker 2: get to the bottom, it seems rather logical if you
13:41
Speaker 2: have a better record, doesn't matter. But the NFL, from
13:45
Speaker 2: what I'm hearing around the NFL is they love division
13:51
Speaker 2: winners and they want that to matter. That should be
13:54
Speaker 2: more important to be a division winner than a wildcard team.
13:57
Speaker 2: And they feel like if you give the wildcard team
14:00
Speaker 2: team a home game, that you're you're not celebrating the
14:06
Speaker 2: division win, and that that's the most important thing. Now,
14:10
Speaker 2: there have been many people that have pointed out over
14:11
Speaker 2: the years this is one of those archaic things about
14:16
Speaker 2: sports that much like spring training in baseball or training
14:20
Speaker 2: camp in the NFL, those are things that were done
14:24
Speaker 2: when the players had to have jobs selling cars or
14:27
Speaker 2: working construction in the offseason because they weren't making one
14:30
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars a day playing their sport, right, these
14:34
Speaker 2: ungodly amounts of money, and so they had to get
14:37
Speaker 2: in shape.
14:38
Speaker 1: And they continue it.
14:39
Speaker 2: They've just turned it into part of the season. They
14:41
Speaker 2: can sell, They can sell tickets to some of these
14:44
Speaker 2: events and the exhibitions. Baseball makes a lot of money
14:47
Speaker 2: during spring training, for example, but football makes a fair
14:50
Speaker 2: amount during training camp. They have events there, they have
14:52
Speaker 2: the exhibition games and whatnot. So again, this is what
14:56
Speaker 2: I'm hearing. I'm fine with that, but from what I understand,
15:00
Speaker 2: they're not going to do it because they want.
15:03
Speaker 1: To protect the sanctity of the division.
15:05
Speaker 2: The reason we have those division matchups is because when
15:08
Speaker 2: these sports leagues were formed, travel was not very good,
15:14
Speaker 2: and it took a long time to go anywhere, and
15:17
Speaker 2: so you played the team's closest to you more often.
15:21
Speaker 1: That's why you did it. And of course, now if
15:24
Speaker 1: you're a.
15:25
Speaker 2: Professional grade sports franchise, I mean you go anywhere you
15:28
Speaker 2: want very quickly, very very very quickly, and in luxury,
15:38
Speaker 2: absolute luxury. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

Speaker 2: fishing all about the placement?
22:48
Speaker 1: You know?
22:48
Speaker 2: It's it's really dependent on if the fish are biting
22:51

23:32
Speaker 4: Hey, how you doing, buddy?
23:33
Speaker 1: Welcome?
23:35
Speaker 4: Well, thank you? Things are good.
23:36
Speaker 1: You know I couldn't how about them lacas.
23:40
Speaker 4: You know, I couldn't be more impressed with, you know,
23:44

Speaker 4: you know, things are good. But here up in Colorado
23:51

24:28
Speaker 1: What's going on?
24:29
Speaker 6: Big Ben?
24:29
Speaker 1: Now?
24:29
Speaker 6: Maybe Travis Hunter, like you know what he's talking about
24:31
Speaker 6: with the fishing is maybe he can like reel up
24:33
Speaker 6: the polls better. Than anyone else. I mean, that's the
24:35
Speaker 6: only thing that can make sense because you're kind of right.
24:37
Speaker 6: It's all about if the fish or biting that day.
24:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can kind of go certain places
24:43
Speaker 2: there might be fish, and you can have radar. But
24:46
Speaker 2: even if you have radar as a fisherman, isn't the
24:48
Speaker 2: radar what's doing the trick?
24:50
Speaker 6: Not you?
24:51
Speaker 1: Because the radar is telling you where to go where
24:53
Speaker 1: the fish might be. It's not you, fat.
24:58
Speaker 6: Rogers. My thing is is I guarantee you, Like I
25:02
Speaker 6: don't know if you guys know who MATC. Collins is,
25:04
Speaker 6: but he's like one of those like weird guys as well.
25:06
Speaker 6: He like does oh I go barefoot everywhere? I really
25:10
Speaker 6: see him and Aaron Rodgers starting up a podcast together
25:13
Speaker 6: and it's just getting real weird an hour a week,
25:15
Speaker 6: like I could see it happening. And also Aaron Rodgers
25:18
Speaker 6: he needed to retire, Like you're forty one years old,
25:22
Speaker 6: No one wants you anymore, Like you're.
25:24
Speaker 1: That's not true. No, that's not wrong. Multiple teams are
25:28
Speaker 1: waiting around, that's how much they want him. They're waiting around.
25:31
Speaker 1: It's like dude, it's like dudes waiting for a woman.
25:33
Speaker 1: They're like waiting, they're waiting.
25:36
Speaker 6: The only team that would make sense for him to
25:38
Speaker 6: go to if he wants to like actually try and
25:40
Speaker 6: do something with the last two years of his career
25:42
Speaker 6: is a Pittsburgh Steelers because they have that defense. They
25:45
Speaker 6: just picked up DK, who I'm not as high on
25:48
Speaker 6: him as everyone else is, and I'm sure you're not
25:50
Speaker 6: as well, but I still think he can make some
25:52
Speaker 6: plays with Aaron Rodgers. But the one thing that's kind
25:55
Speaker 6: of scary for the Steelers at the same time, they
25:57
Speaker 6: really got to put in the consideration that old line
25:59
Speaker 6: is not very good either. I mean it's better than
26:01
Speaker 6: the Jets, but it's not good.
26:04
Speaker 2: Well, you'll see how amazing the offensive line improves with
26:07
Speaker 2: a quarterback that knows to get rid of the football
26:09
Speaker 2: blind it because Russell Wilson's entire career, he's had problems
26:13
Speaker 2: holding the ball for too long and justin fields also
26:16
Speaker 2: in that same area, and if you get a quarterback
26:18
Speaker 2: in there that knows how to actually play the position
26:20
Speaker 2: and get rid of the football, suddenly your offensive line is.
26:23
Speaker 1: Going to be much better. It's shocking, it's like an
26:25
Speaker 1: amazing thing. And if you went to Minnesota. If the
26:28
Speaker 1: Vikings really think JJ McCarthy blows.
26:30
Speaker 4: He's fit for him, but they're not doing that well.
26:33
Speaker 1: You don't know that.
26:34
Speaker 2: You have no idea if they don't think McCarthy can play,
26:38
Speaker 2: or he's not ready, and there must be somebody there
26:42
Speaker 2: that doesn't think he's ready. Otherwise, why would all these
26:44
Speaker 2: rumors be out there? They want to add somebody like
26:47
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers or the other day there was a rumor
26:49
Speaker 2: about Kirk Cousins.
26:50
Speaker 6: For God's sakes, Yeah, that's crazy. By like, my thing
26:53
Speaker 6: with the Vikings is Kevin O'Connell. I mean, Sam Darnold
26:56
Speaker 6: was hot trash before he went to Minnesota, and even
27:00
Speaker 6: Cousins is doing really good in that system for a while.
27:02
Speaker 6: If I think a lot of it's Kevin O'Connell and
27:05
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy could just acquiesce to it with time and washing.
27:09
Speaker 2: Failm I mean from what I be careful, be careful,
27:12
Speaker 2: going all system, you know, going all system, and all
27:15
Speaker 2: people say the same thing. I said the same thing
27:16
Speaker 2: about like the Patriots, and then they got rid of
27:19
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and it turns out it wasn't the system.
27:22
Speaker 1: It wasn't Josh McDaniels. It was you got actually have
27:25
Speaker 1: somebody that can.
27:26
Speaker 6: Play if you bringing Aaron Rodgers. Like, who's to say
27:29
Speaker 6: that he doesn't ruin Kevin O'Connell's career. I mean he
27:31
Speaker 6: ruined saw him and Iberflus had bad beast towards the end,
27:35
Speaker 6: he didn't well, how did he ruin?
27:37
Speaker 2: Robert Robert Salah was a cheerleading defensive coach for the
27:41
Speaker 2: forty nine ers who failed as an NFL head coach.
27:43
Speaker 1: How did Aaron Rodgers?
27:44
Speaker 6: Jack Wilson, who where's he now? Like the Dolphins, Robert.
27:48
Speaker 2: Robert Sala as a head coach should be doing one
27:51
Speaker 2: of those airport webinar things about motivational speaking is what
27:54
Speaker 2: he should be doing.
27:56
Speaker 6: So Cho's not the dude from the Bears who like
27:59
Speaker 6: didn't call the time I'm out on Thanksgiving?
28:01
Speaker 1: Like thirst, it doesn't matter.
28:05
Speaker 2: This guy named Matt Ebert Matt Eberflus who's now the
28:08
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator of the Cowboys.
28:10
Speaker 1: What a hustle. These guys suck at their job and
28:13
Speaker 1: they just get different, John.
28:14
Speaker 2: They bounce from team to team like your guy Robert Sala,
28:17
Speaker 2: the cheerleader who's now back with the forty nine ers.
28:20
Speaker 1: So there you go. All right, I thank you. That
