Speaker 1: a new and the top story here. We've had a
2:54
Speaker 1: couple of teams that are trying to figure out who
2:57
Speaker 1: their quarterback is going to be. Well, one of those
2:59
Speaker 1: has been decided, Well, how could it be decided. It's
3:02
Speaker 1: not even mid August yet. How could they have named
3:04
Speaker 1: a quarterback we we'll explain in the dateline. Alit sorry
3:09
Speaker 1: from the Twin Cities. The Twin Cities there, we're hollering
3:14
Speaker 1: James and Eke in Roseville, Minnesota hangout, so our lead
3:19
Speaker 1: is from there. The quarterback competition has ended in a
3:24
Speaker 1: purple hayes a purple haze there. If you have not heard,
3:28
Speaker 1: perhaps not, maybe we're not paying attention. Bad job by you.
3:32
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings have officially named Allegander Arms Murray. Yes,
3:38
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the little fella catch the big boy seat.
3:42
Speaker 1: He got the booster seat. Kyler Murray got the booster
3:45
Speaker 1: seat in Minnesota, uh man, So he will be the
3:49
Speaker 1: starting quarterback and J. J. McCarthy officially demoted demoted as
3:59
Speaker 1: the number here two option. There So Kevin O'Connell, the
4:03
Speaker 1: Vikings coach, confirming that Kyler Murray winning the competition just
4:08
Speaker 1: despite having some very shaky practices apparently by those that
4:12
Speaker 1: actually get paid to watch that crap. Here's Kevin O'Connell,
4:15
Speaker 1: I believe. Here's the Vikings head coach commenting on the decision.
4:20
Speaker 2: Takes I know there's a lot of kind of reports
4:22
Speaker 2: and things out there regarding our quarterback situation, and just
4:26
Speaker 2: wanted to start out and say, you know, we did,
4:29
Speaker 2: you know, after some some dialogue in house and just
4:32
Speaker 2: kind of daily you know, analyzing the overall of where
4:37
Speaker 2: we're at right now, we did name Kyler Murray our
4:40
Speaker 2: starting quarterback.
4:41
Speaker 1: You know, from the outset of the off season.
4:45
Speaker 2: You know, I think we've been really intentional open about,
4:50
Speaker 2: you know, kind.
4:50
Speaker 3: Of the goal of creating just a competitive environment filled
4:55
Speaker 3: with wildly capable players that could then obviously elevate our
5:00
Speaker 3: quarterback room through that process and doing so, you know,
5:04
Speaker 3: elevate our team.
5:05
Speaker 1: Okay, well, if you enjoy and it's selling a very
5:11
Speaker 1: confident man. And I gotta tell you I wouldn't be
5:13
Speaker 1: confident either if I was having to name Kyler Murray
5:16
Speaker 1: as my quarterback. Holy crap. We're screwed. We are absolutely screwed.
5:21
Speaker 1: If you're the Vikings, My god, poor Kevin O'Connell, he'll
5:24
Speaker 1: be working at the NFL network doing a podcast at
5:26
Speaker 1: barstool before you know it. Holy crap. Anyway, O'Connell's you
5:30
Speaker 1: heard there confirming the news that the little guy won
5:35
Speaker 1: the job, O'Connell said, Murray, as you heard it had
5:37
Speaker 1: shown enough. And later on he talked about his accuracy,
5:42
Speaker 1: which I keep seeing stories about him throwing interceptions. But
5:44
Speaker 1: his accuracy is athleticism, really intelligence. They're just making crap
5:52
Speaker 1: up now. Command of the offense, they will lie to
5:58
Speaker 1: your face, all right, So all of that is a
6:01
Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss I have no
6:03
Speaker 1: skin in the game. The question what does the announcement
6:07
Speaker 1: by Kevin O'Connell that Kyler Murray will be the Vikings
6:12
Speaker 1: QB number one? What does that tell us? What does
6:15
Speaker 1: that tell us? So my thoughts on this, I've got
6:17
Speaker 1: free trial subscription, supersonic turbo booster, rocket and super Scooper,
6:25
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
6:28
Speaker 1: we are going to have a juicy lucy. Now. When
6:31
Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to visit the holy Land of
6:34
Speaker 1: the Juicy Lucy a few years ago in Minnesota, I
6:36
Speaker 1: stopped at all the local establishments there, all of them,
6:40
Speaker 1: all of them, to enjoy the fun of those, and
6:45
Speaker 1: they were all great. There was one I forget well,
6:49
Speaker 1: in Saint Paul. I thought I liked them. I think
6:50
Speaker 1: I went there twice not that that matters, all right.
6:53
Speaker 1: So to answer the question, what does this announcement, what
6:56
Speaker 1: does this announcement of Kyler Murray's the Vikings QB number one?
7:00
Speaker 1: What does that tell us? So this was a rigged
7:03
Speaker 1: carnival game. This was a rigged carnival game from the
7:08
Speaker 1: very beginning. You know it, and I know it. Every man,
7:11
Speaker 1: woman and child that paid any attention knows it. There
7:14
Speaker 1: was no legitimate quarterback competition in Minnesota. This was a
7:18
Speaker 1: trip to the theater. We're gonna go out and see
7:20
Speaker 1: a show. Well, what theater are we gonna go to.
7:22
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to a Broadway theater. We're gonna go
7:24
Speaker 1: to an Operadway theater. It's called Kabookie Theater. That's where
7:28
Speaker 1: we're going. Kyler Murray had the job the moment he
7:31
Speaker 1: got off the short bus at Viking Camp there and
7:34
Speaker 1: wandered into the facility. He was given the job. Minnesota
7:38
Speaker 1: had already checked out of JJ McCarthy's hotel. They didn't
7:42
Speaker 1: want to you know, I know that they hadn't returned
7:45
Speaker 1: the room key. They tried to trade McCarthy. Nobody wanted him. Unfortunately,
7:49
Speaker 1: they've seen him play, so they were stuck with him
7:52
Speaker 1: and they didn't want to completely release them. Although who knows.
7:54
Speaker 1: This is no guarantee that McCarthy's on the team this year.
7:58
Speaker 1: There's still time to make trades before the start of
8:00
Speaker 1: the regular season. But Kyler is and I love they
8:03
Speaker 1: said intelligence. This is all about the big dummy, the
8:07
Speaker 1: dummy run. Okay, make no mistake that Kyler is the
8:11
Speaker 1: perfect dummy run quarterback for the Vikings because Arizona, because
8:16
Speaker 1: they're a bunch of idiots, they're paying a guy that's
8:19
Speaker 1: incompetent most of the time, Kyler Murray. They're paying the
8:23
Speaker 1: freight over thirty five million to not play for the
8:27
Speaker 1: Cardinals over thirty five million to not play for the Cardinals. There,
8:32
Speaker 1: So that is the situation involving Kyler Murray, an the
8:37
Speaker 1: fun sized quarterback and all that alligator arms. So it's
8:40
Speaker 1: basically like this the way I would describe it in
8:43
Speaker 1: Simpleton terms, it's like getting a free trial subscription to
8:48
Speaker 1: Kyler Plus it's kitty sized, you can cancel anytime, no
8:53
Speaker 1: credit card needed. You don't need a credit cards not
8:57
Speaker 1: required to sign up for it. A number of the
9:01
Speaker 1: Viking fan no, I think the people listen to this
9:02
Speaker 1: show on Kfan they're in Minnesota, are a little smarter.
9:05
Speaker 1: But the daytime listeners, the idiots during the day, the
9:09
Speaker 1: knuckle dragging morons, they of course will fall in lockstep
9:14
Speaker 1: because Kyler Murray alligator arms is fool's gold. We've seen
9:18
Speaker 1: it before. How many calls did I take over the
9:21
Speaker 1: years from people in Arizona, Oh, you don't know what
9:23
Speaker 1: you're talking about, mallor you moron, that's why you're on overnight.
9:29
Speaker 1: All that crap, right, you know, the whole rant. I've
9:31
Speaker 1: heard all of the lines over the years. They were
9:34
Speaker 1: all stale, they're all lazy, and in the end I
9:37
Speaker 1: was vindicated. It was so ridiculous. When Kyler Murray played
9:40
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, they were writing stories about my take
9:44
Speaker 1: in the paper they have, like one paper in Phoenix,
9:46
Speaker 1: and they were ripping me because they have nothing else
9:48
Speaker 1: to talk about, of course, and they were assaulting my
9:50
Speaker 1: good name, and I would like to I have to
9:54
Speaker 1: go back and look, I don't remember what guess, probably unemployee,
9:56
Speaker 1: which for a newspaper that's not a great profession. I
10:00
Speaker 1: have to look who wrote that story and say, well,
10:02
Speaker 1: maybe you can write a follow up that I was
10:05
Speaker 1: correct with my take, not that you know who cares.
10:08
Speaker 1: We do the takes. We let the take go out
10:10
Speaker 1: in the ethos, and whatever happens, that's it. But I
10:14
Speaker 1: saw it happen in Arizona's gonna happen in Minnesota as
10:16
Speaker 1: well with Kyler Murray. That it's fool's goal that he'll
10:20
Speaker 1: excite you for a few plays. Maybe in a couple
10:23
Speaker 1: of games, he'll scramble around. Wee, it'll be great, make
10:28
Speaker 1: a few ridiculous throws. Everyone will be screaming, Oh, he's
10:32
Speaker 1: found his new home, his forever home, and we found
10:37
Speaker 1: our guy. All that crap. And then the weather will change. Well,
10:41
Speaker 1: how could the weather's change in a dome, It doesn't matter.
10:43
Speaker 1: The weather's gonna change. The glitter, the golden glitter will
10:47
Speaker 1: all of a sudden wash off, and you will then
10:52
Speaker 1: discover what's underneath a fake, a phony, and a fraud.
10:57
Speaker 1: That is what you're gonna get. And that's the Kyler
11:00
Speaker 1: Murray experience. You're welcome. It's a public service announcement. Just
11:05
Speaker 1: enough electricity. It's a little electricity. It can't be much
11:08
Speaker 1: because he's Kyler. It's just a little electricity to get
11:12
Speaker 1: you emotionally invested. You'll have a big game against the
11:15
Speaker 1: Packers or something, oh man, and then all of a
11:20
Speaker 1: sudden you start thinking, Okay, we got something, and then
11:23
Speaker 1: the lights start flickering. It's like when the Gremlins attack.
11:26
Speaker 1: I get the Gremlins attacking, so the Viking vans. I
11:30
Speaker 1: do want you to enjoy your honeymoon, and I'll I'm
11:32
Speaker 1: not going to be too mean at the beginning. I'll
11:34
Speaker 1: just sit back and Kyler has a couple of good games.
11:37
Speaker 1: I'll just smile and I'll keep my mouth shut. Not really,
11:41
Speaker 1: because they get paid to talk. So, but the point is,
11:43
Speaker 1: I will just sit back and relax, and you enjoy
11:45
Speaker 1: the Honting moon while it lasts. Because I know, inevitably
11:48
Speaker 1: he's going to get a call from a block number.
11:50
Speaker 1: Kyler's going to answer the call. You should not answer
11:52
Speaker 1: the call from block number. It's probably a spammer, and
11:55
Speaker 1: the call will appear on Kyler's phone. He will not
11:57
Speaker 1: be able to have any self control. Alligator arms will
12:00
Speaker 1: answer the call and it will be a ring ring, Hi,
12:04
Speaker 1: it's a Joe blow over here from a call of duty, Oh,
12:07
Speaker 1: call of duty. Man. So history says, based on past
12:13
Speaker 1: results that he will answer that call and he will
12:16
Speaker 1: go on a joystick bender, an absolute joystick bender, and
12:23
Speaker 1: that'll be turnout the lads, the parties over now. Meanwhile,
12:28
Speaker 1: keeping the theme of the first part of this malle monologue, going,
12:32
Speaker 1: NFL insider Adam Schefter drawing backlash getting assaulted in the
12:40
Speaker 1: micro world over his reporting or lack thereof, regarding JJ McCarthy.
12:48
Speaker 1: So it's another tentacle of this. I don't know if you
12:50
Speaker 1: saw this or not, perhaps perhaps not. The way he
12:53
Speaker 1: framed the McCarthy demotion is quite quite the tales. So
13:00
Speaker 1: Schefter emphasized that McCarthy missed his entire rookie season with injured.
13:05
Speaker 1: It's a real sob story, very emotional. I mean I
13:08
Speaker 1: almost cried, and so he mentioned that and then talked
13:12
Speaker 1: about how JJ McCarthy had winning record in the games
13:17
Speaker 1: he started. The Vikings were six and four in his
13:19
Speaker 1: ten starts. He had it on here Schefter that the
13:24
Speaker 1: twenty three year old will now be forced to be
13:28
Speaker 1: forced to be a backup. Woooo, so sad. It's so sad. Now,
13:34
Speaker 1: obviously the word forced really got you going, what are
13:40
Speaker 1: we doing here? Because that's the controversy obviously Schefter portraying
13:48
Speaker 1: McCarthy in the church of victimhood, which is wild, rather
13:53
Speaker 1: than just a quarterback that sucked at a time you
13:56
Speaker 1: cannot suck, couldn't play, and lost the competition to someone
14:00
Speaker 1: who you'd be embarrassed to lose a competition to. All Right,
14:04
Speaker 1: So the question does Adam Schefter deserve to be getting
14:09
Speaker 1: cooked in the cyber world for his light and fluffy
14:14
Speaker 1: reporting on the demoted Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy. So I'm
14:19
Speaker 1: nodding my head, yes, I'm nodding my head yes on this.
14:24
Speaker 1: The smart money says that Adam Schefter pulled a copy
14:27
Speaker 1: and paste job, or go somebody who's on team McCarthy.
14:34
Speaker 1: A publicist said, hey, Adam, can you do this so solid? Okay? Sure,
14:37
Speaker 1: what do you want? Okay? Can you just copy this
14:39
Speaker 1: and send this out? I mean, as I understand it,
14:41
Speaker 1: he has been accused of that in the past, and
14:44
Speaker 1: a number of these guys have done that. There was
14:47
Speaker 1: a point where there was some level of integrity where
14:49
Speaker 1: these people wouldn't do it, and that all went out
14:52
Speaker 1: the window years ago. So now it's like whatever, just
14:54
Speaker 1: you're just a mouthpiece repeating the crap. That these agents
14:57
Speaker 1: and publicists are sending you. So Schefter was providing a
15:02
Speaker 1: ring of protection, if you will, for a number of reasons,
15:05
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. Now what could those reasons be.
15:08
Speaker 1: He was part of the the pontiff's protection, if you will,
15:13
Speaker 1: the security detail, because both he and McCarthy are Michigan men, right,
15:18
Speaker 1: They're Michigan guys. And so they went to the University
15:21
Speaker 1: of Michigan. And it's also taking care of the agent.
15:24
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, I'll do this for you and
15:26
Speaker 1: then you help me out with something that actually people
15:28
Speaker 1: care about down the line. So calling JJ McCarthy calling
15:35
Speaker 1: him out, said, well, he was forced to be a backup.
15:38
Speaker 1: Is supersized industrial strength spin spin spin spin, spent forced,
15:43
Speaker 1: forced against his will. McCarthy, You realize how bad this
15:50
Speaker 1: guy must be at playing quarterback in the NFL. He
15:52
Speaker 1: was handed the keys to what everyone agreed was a
15:55
Speaker 1: high powered offense. They were able to have success with
15:58
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, and that blows and so and he proved
16:03
Speaker 1: that in Seattle because they know the only reason they
16:05
Speaker 1: did anything they had a two point conversion handed to
16:07
Speaker 1: them by the NFL. Otherwise that would not have been
16:10
Speaker 1: the way it went last year with him, Hey, McCarthy
16:12
Speaker 1: was handed in Minnesota, this amazing offense, what a great
16:16
Speaker 1: mitzvah all access passed to wide receiver Justin Jefferson and
16:20
Speaker 1: his sidekick Jordan Addison, and he turned this supersonic booster
16:26
Speaker 1: rocket that should have gone out in the Cosmos out
16:31
Speaker 1: in outer space, and he turned it into cremation dust
16:36
Speaker 1: that you could put in a purple urn with the
16:39
Speaker 1: Viking logo on it. Because he buried their season last year,
16:44
Speaker 1: McCarthy for Chef's obviously guilty, but lie by omission because
16:48
Speaker 1: he left out the fact that J. J. McCarthy was
16:50
Speaker 1: the thirty fifth NINT quarterback in the NFL. Now, I
16:52
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this. There's only thirty two
16:54
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. You actually need a mining permit
16:58
Speaker 1: to go down and the light to find McCarthy, You
17:02
Speaker 1: actually have to go. His name is that far down
17:05
Speaker 1: in the quarterback rating department. Now, Ultimately, the most embarrassing
17:09
Speaker 1: thing is that McCarthy this August here lost his gig
17:14
Speaker 1: to Alligator Arms Murray. Kyler Murray, one of Snow White
17:18
Speaker 1: seven dwarfs with a documented video game obsession. You lost
17:25
Speaker 1: to that guy. That guy was who failed in Arizona,
17:30
Speaker 1: was an abject fail with the Cardinals, and that guy
17:33
Speaker 1: beat you out. Think about that, I think about Minnesota
17:37
Speaker 1: basically brought in gamer Smurf and said, yeah, that's an upgrade.
17:42
Speaker 1: We rather have that guy. We'd rather have that guy.
17:46
Speaker 1: That's it. And obviously nobody forced J. J. McCarthy to
17:50
Speaker 1: the bench. He had the presidential suite, presidentials, everything you
17:56
Speaker 1: possibly want, red shirt year. All you idiots tell me, well,
18:00
Speaker 1: you gotta rush your quarterback. Don't play on the first
18:02
Speaker 1: year so they can learn the offense. You morons, call up,
18:05
Speaker 1: defend your boy, defend your guy. Yeah, you cowards, I
18:09
Speaker 1: gotta call up and defend it because McCarthy is proof
18:13
Speaker 1: of the fact that it doesn't work. Now, listen, everything's subjective.
18:17
Speaker 1: I understand that. But you told me all the people,
18:21
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame level receiver justin Jefferson, supposedly a
18:25
Speaker 1: great coach. You guys all love the coach of the Vikings, offensive, genius,
18:30
Speaker 1: winning environment, and that's what you got. That's what you got.
18:33
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed that. So we had the presidential suite.
18:36
Speaker 1: Trash the furniture, clogged the toilet, trash the place, and
18:42
Speaker 1: then he was evicted. I kind of evicted himself, I
18:45
Speaker 1: guess all right now. Meanwhile, last word to the courthouse.
18:48
Speaker 1: We have a legal brew haha developing. It's on tap
18:52
Speaker 1: right now between a couple of former NFL people. That
18:55
Speaker 1: would be DeAndre Hopkins, former NFL receiver. I guess he's
18:58
Speaker 1: out now of the NFL. He's took a college one
19:00
Speaker 1: of these no show college jobs where you just use
19:03
Speaker 1: your name as a brand ambassador or whatever. Anyway, DeAndre
19:06
Speaker 1: Hopkins had he accused on social media his former GM
19:12
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals and a guy that worked here a
19:16
Speaker 1: few times, Steve Khime, of involvement in rigging or contaminating
19:23
Speaker 1: the NFL drug test that he failed. So the claim
19:28
Speaker 1: and it was deleted quickly after or not that you
19:30
Speaker 1: can't really delete anything on the internet. But Hopkins claimed
19:33
Speaker 1: that there was some funny business going on with Kime.
19:37
Speaker 1: So Kime issued a rebuttal through a lawyer and yeah,
19:43
Speaker 1: so very strong denial with all kinds of threats of litigation.
19:48
Speaker 1: So this is a four This happened four years ago.
19:51
Speaker 1: This is a four year old ped suspension that has
19:54
Speaker 1: new life like the phoenix rising from the ashes and
19:59
Speaker 1: Chime threatening the civil lawsuit, and while that is going on,
20:04
Speaker 1: he's facing separate scrutiny. There's a connection. We talked, remember,
20:08
Speaker 1: we talked about this murder mystery in the NFL, this
20:10
Speaker 1: kingpin of this ponzi scheme who somehow in his twenties
20:14
Speaker 1: dry it was dead, found dead in Jersey. And there's
20:19
Speaker 1: a lot of people tied to that guy from the NFL.
20:21
Speaker 1: Apparently Kime's name came up. I don't know, I was
20:23
Speaker 1: reading about that. And so he's got a lot of
20:26
Speaker 1: stuff going on here, and nobody's been arrested, nobody's been
20:29
Speaker 1: charged in that particular case. Now, the question where are
20:32
Speaker 1: you at on the legal food fight? That's what we
20:35
Speaker 1: call it. Legal food fight between former NFL star DeAndre
20:39
Speaker 1: Hopkins and GM Steve Kime, the former GM so DeAndre Hopkins.
20:44
Speaker 1: After a minutes long mallor review of the available information,
20:48
Speaker 1: SO Steve Kime and DeAndre Hopkins, obviously, the first punch
20:53
Speaker 1: was thrown by Hopkins. He tossed an incinder, airy and
20:57
Speaker 1: cyndiary device in this case an accusation onto social media.
21:03
Speaker 1: I tossed it out there and then tried to try
21:06
Speaker 1: to delete it. He did delete it, but the fire,
21:11
Speaker 1: even though it was largely contained, contained the fire. They
21:16
Speaker 1: had a line around the fire. The controlled burn was
21:20
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere. They had it contained well.
21:22
Speaker 1: Steve Khim grabbed the public address system, He summoned apparently
21:27
Speaker 1: an army of lawyers and commandeered the super Scooper. So
21:32
Speaker 1: he grabbed the super Scooper to drop thousands of gallons
21:35
Speaker 1: of kerosene on that smoldering hot spot out in the
21:39
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere in the boondocks, and by threatening a
21:43
Speaker 1: lawsuit he gare wrong. Tea Hopkins claims will get repeated.
21:49
Speaker 1: I didn't even know about this, and here I am
21:52
Speaker 1: talking about it. So Hopkins, I didn't see the thing
21:56
Speaker 1: that got deleted. And so this gets repeated, dissected and
22:00
Speaker 1: simplified everywhere, and it opens the door to if there
22:05
Speaker 1: is a lawsuit, legal discovery, and a full blown Benny
22:10
Speaker 1: Hill type circus. So it is a masterclass on turning
22:15
Speaker 1: a whisper into a Thunderclap is what it is here,
22:18
Speaker 1: and crank up the pressure all you want. Crank it up,
22:22
Speaker 1: crank it up now, but you better have zero skeletons
22:26
Speaker 1: in your closet before inviting everyone into the courthouse kitchen,
22:32
Speaker 1: so we'll keep an eye on this time. Did not
22:35
Speaker 1: certainly extinguish the story. He poured premium unleaded gasoline all
22:41
Speaker 1: over and handed the media dopes, handed them a book
22:46
Speaker 1: of matches and said here, knock yourself out. Have a
22:49
Speaker 1: good time there. So the Cardinals kem on. They're pretty
22:51
Speaker 1: much irrelevant. They haven't made headlines like this the Cardinals
22:56
Speaker 1: since they accidentally had a good month and a half
22:59
Speaker 1: where they had six good games a few years ago.
23:01
Speaker 1: I remember that that was with Kyler Murray and Cliff Kingsbury,
23:06
Speaker 1: the coach who had cell phone breaks during practice miss
23:12
Speaker 1: him in the NFL as a head coach. It is

Speaker 1: I am the only quarterback to lead the NFL in
36:05
Speaker 1: passing yards per start and yet finish last and winning
36:11
Speaker 1: percentage over the last fifty seasons of the NFL. Again,
36:19
Speaker 1: I am the only quarterback in the last fifty years
36:22
Speaker 1: to lead the NFL in passing yards per start, who
36:26
Speaker 1: yet finished last in win percentage over the last fifty years?
36:30
Speaker 1: Who am I? That is the question. I'm just gonna

36:37
Speaker 4: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

37:09
Speaker 1: It really is about nothing, rarely about sports. Every once
37:12
Speaker 1: in a while there'll be a sporty Mallor monologue in
37:14
Speaker 1: there bonus monologue. That's why we call it the Fifth Hour.

37:21
Speaker 1: New episodes again Friday Saturday. In the mail Bag, everyone
37:23
Speaker 1: loves the mailbag except you guys are not very good
37:26
Speaker 1: at getting back to be part of the mailbag. So
37:28
Speaker 1: Robbie the Mariner fan usually gets to do it. So
37:30
Speaker 1: that's how that works. Back to it all right, Back
37:34
Speaker 1: to we go and Super Bowl winning quarterback giving out flowers.
37:39
Speaker 1: That would be Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts of the Eagles
37:43
Speaker 1: throwing flowers at Lane Johnson, the longtime offensive lineman for
37:48
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia football team, who indicated that it's all she
37:52
Speaker 1: wrote in twenty twenty six. This will be his final
37:55
Speaker 1: season in the NFL, so the Eagles positioning this is
37:59
Speaker 1: like a last dance storyline. It doesn't really work though,
38:03
Speaker 1: because he's an offensive lineman. An offensive lineman, the only
38:06
Speaker 1: time we really care about them is that the draft
38:08
Speaker 1: and when they blow a coverage and the quarterback gets killed.
38:12
Speaker 1: So that's it. But Jalen Hurts waxing loquationous about Lane
38:15
Speaker 1: Johnson's longevity, consistency, leadership, blah blah blah, blah blah Lane Johnson,
38:19
Speaker 1: thirty six years old. His entire career in Philadelphia. He
38:23
Speaker 1: was the number four overall pick in number twenty thirteen,
38:29
