• 1:22
  Speaker 1: For some reason, they took the lead here and this
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,

• 1:53
  Speaker 1: lead this hour right to Jerry's world. And you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: if you're with me most nights or even maybe once
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in a while, I generally do not talk about the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: same story every hour. I don't do that. There's some
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: people that do this for a living. They do one
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: topic and they do a three hour show and they
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: repeat the same thing. It's the lazy River of sports radio.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I haven't done that very often because I think it's terrible.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's a bad listen that's number one. Number two. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: would get bored. I would be bored. I'm not bored
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: with this, and so I think there's a lot to it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I got in a radio I went to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: clown sportscaster clown college, and they teach you about the topic.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Tree you know, you got to do a talk radio show.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You have to have the topic tree, and you have
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: all the branches of the tree and all there's a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: lot of branches to the tree, and so there's there's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: enough meat on the bone that we it's not a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: small turkey. It's it's it's not a small turkey, it's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a big turkey. There's a lot to the turkey. And
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the turkey most of the night.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Now you can call up and rant and rave about
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: other things. There's some other stuff I'll get to throughout
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the show, but I'm just setting it up so we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have a resolution. We have a resolution to the NFL
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: cold war between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons. I assume
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you've heard by now, maybe not. You knew something was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: going to happen. They've been at loggerheads for a while.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: The other players that were bitching about their contracts, they
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: agreed to to either new deals, like Washington Commanders and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: their wide receiver Terry McLaurin. The Cincinnati Bengals gave Trey
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Hendrickson a raise. But there was one left party of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: one party of one that would be Micah Parsons. Who
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: is never going to wear the Dallas Cowboy uniform again.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Bye bye. Parsons headed to the Green Bay Packers in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a blockbuster trade, leaving America's Team five following a month's long,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: highly publicized, highly talked about contract dispute. So what did
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Dallas get? Well, packers got some powerball powerball cards. They
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: got that couple first round picks one in twenty twenty six,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: one in twenty twenty seven, and they also acquired a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle you've never heard of named Kenny Clark, Yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Kenny Clark. And they give up Michael Parsons, who agreed
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: immediately cite unseen to a contract extension to live in
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin and have a big chesshire cat smile on his face.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We are told that Parsons and the Packers have agreed
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to a record setting contract one hundred and eighty eight
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: million dollars over four years. That's a good money if
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you can get it. Now, we know these contracts are
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for Gayzy. The total amounts, how much is guaranteed? So
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: for that it's one hundred and twenty twenty million dollars guaranteed.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So Micah Parsons will be buying dinner and what does
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that mean In the big picture. It means that Parsons
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: has become the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: highest pick. So what do you get a couple of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: sacks a game for that? That's what? What is that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: per game? I don't I don't have the math on
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the per game salary, but just per sack, Let's say
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: he gets don't know, fifteen sacks this year and he's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: but he's making forty five forty seven million something like that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: There you go, all right, so let us discuss the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: question who is in the winners circle on the Micah
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Parsons trade from the Cowboys to the Packers. So my
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I've got Pirouet, Cotton Candy, and Walgreens
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we are going to make some delicious, crunchy tacos. My
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: friend back in the day said those are gringo tacos,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna make them now because I like them.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: This yeah, so uh a, listen, this is not that hard.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about open heart surgery here. We're not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: talking about something complex. We're talking about sports. The Green
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers did just did something they weren't supposed to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: do at a time they weren't supposed to do it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: This is something they never do. Now, some of you said, oh,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you gotta wrong, Ben, you gotta wrong. Okay, the take
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: was the proper take. And the reason that this Michael
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Parsons trade is so outrageous is because that was the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: proper take. I nailed the take. I got amazing credit
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: for that take. That was an amazing take. I dotted
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the eye on the take. But the packers said, screw
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the take. We're gonna change it up. We're gonna go
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to Vegas. We're gonna bet the house, we're gonna gonna
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: go down to Fremont Street, one of those sleazy hotels
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: on Fremont Street. We're gonna put all the chips in
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the middle. And they got a guy who, in theory, again,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in theory, is good enough to elevate the Green Bay Packers,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: who were a playoff team last year. Now I have
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: my doubts. We'll get to that as we go through
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the night. But if you check out the Richter scale
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: on the Micah Parsons trade from Dallas to green Bay,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: this is not just your normal transaction. This is a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: full blown I call it a cheese quake in Title Town, USA.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers, those buttoned up conservative draft and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: develop monks of the NFL monastery, just ripped off the road.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They shrudded down the catwalk and shouted f them picks
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and they did a little piraauet like they were at
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: fashion Week in Perie, a little parrouette right there on
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the catwalk. And talk about a bizarro world situation. The
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: last team you would think would do this would be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. And here we are, all right,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And to repeat for those of you in the back
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of the room, they're a little slow. The Packers don't
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: do splash. They don't They don't do drama. They don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: do one hundred and eighty eight million dollar contracts with
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars guaranteed. They do quiet
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: draft nights and passive aggressive news conferences. But now, are
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they having a midlife crisis at lambeau Field. Are they
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the person in the middle of the life going out
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and buying a cherry red Ferrari. They're dancing with Micah
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Parsons and they're doing it with a lampshade on their
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: head dancing on the table yelling we're all in, baby,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: We're all in. Okay, Well, hopefully Jordan Love doesn't ride
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet. And so they regressed somewhat last year
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. Now page two. So Jerry
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Jones addressed the media following the Micah Parsons trade. We're
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of quotes out of this as
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: we work our way through the overnight. Jerry is always
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: good with the sound bites, and so one of the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: things that stood out Jerry said that quote. We did
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: think it was the bet in the best interest of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: our organization for the future and this season as well.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Apparently the editing department did not put any sound in,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but that's what he said. So, how do you decode
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones saying that Michaeh Parson's trade, the Michael Parsons
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: trade was in the best interest he said, best interest
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of the Cowboys organization for the future and this season.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So I'll tell you how I dcode that. This is
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: known as prepackaged. It's a prepackaged line. We've heard it
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: hundreds of times over the years. It's not an answer.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It's a stock thing that You're right on a on
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: a card like a birthday card or a Hallmark card.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You could slap that line on literally any move the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Cowboys make. It's one size fits all that line. The
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys could have traded Michah Parsons to the Green
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers and they they could have acquired you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you know, a beer vendor, or they could have traded
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the guys selling the hot dogs. Whatever they would have done,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's always in the best interest of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the organization. If Jerry Jones decides to take a bowel movement,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it's in the best interest to the Cowboy organization. It's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a fortune cookie answer. You open it up, it's the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: same message every time. And listen, I understand, I understand.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: We talk about this seemingly every other night. Jerry Jones
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: is like a carnie and he's coming to town and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: he's running the cotton candy machine, the carney, and he's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: spinning sugar and there's really nothing of substance there, just
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a sticky mess that dissolves the second you put it
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in your mouth. It just vanishes. But the best interest
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: means absolutely nothing, and the best means as good as
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: all the rest. We say that all the time. It's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like saying, hey, the sun will rise in a few
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: hours from now in the east. Okay, thank you very much,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. So Jerry Jones is obviously not explaining what
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: he is doing. He's a salesman. Jerry is selling. He's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the guy at the state fair yelling yell at you, Hey,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this is a two headed goat, two headed. Come see
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the two headed goat. The future of farming is here,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a two headed goat. That's it. That's rue. So you're
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to walk away dazzled, not actually informed, but
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: just dazzled with Jerry Jones. All right, now, last word here.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So this is my favorite part of all of this,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the health of Micah Parsons. You might remember earlier this week,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: State sponsored NFL media told us that Micah Parsons was
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: frantically trying to leave the Dallas Airport and he was
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: desperately seeking a second opinion. I'm my aching back. Holy crap,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: my god. The guy's got a chronic back injury. He
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: needed to see another dog. So the Cowboys had Parsons
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: undergo an MRI on his back over the weekend, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the results said the back was pretty clean. Suppose, so
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Parsons was, for lack of a better term, doctor shopping
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to find a friendly doctor that would sign off on
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: his back being all left up so he could miss games. So,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: now that Micah Parsons is headed to Green Bay, how
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: is parsons back tightness going to affect the Packers? Should
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they be worried? Should they be concerned at Lambeau that
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons has damaged goods that they just traded not one,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: but two first round picks to get Micah Parsons and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: he's got a bad back. So this trade from green
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Bay or to green Bay from Dallas, the deal is
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like a trip to Walgreens for meds. You don't need
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to get a quarter zone shot. Forget about that. No
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: quarter zone shot. You don't need physical therapy, you don't
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: need an ice bath, you don't need any of that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Because we've determined, after years and years of research doing
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: talk radio, that the greatest anti inflammatory known de mankind
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: is money. Money, money. Oh yeah, you know it, right,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You're right, you right. One of those big cartoon checks
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty million gaironte guaranteed and all
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, Micah is hopping around like he's on
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a pogo stick, like he's in one of those one
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of those temper pedic commercials. You know, Oh, I'm feeling great.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: The thing that this is, and it's a classic story
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: as old as time in professional sports. Players disgruntled players,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: not happy, and so they fake an injury, They lie
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: about an injury. That's what Michael Parsons did. He's a liar.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is a liar, and this is a it's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a Manny Wood situation. I would say in my life
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: working in and talking about athletes, that is the single
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: greatest I'm faking an injury story of all time. So
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: years ago, the Red Sox had this guy named Manny Ramirez,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: was a good player. You know, he's kind of a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: looney tune, and Manny was upset with the Red Sox,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: so famously is a great story. So he complained my
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: aching knee. Manny Ramirez complained, and he actually missed a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: couple of Red Sox games. And then in the clubhouse
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: at Finnway, one of the reporters went up to man
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and said, you know which which knee is is bothering you?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And Manny was gobsmacked. He could not remember which knee
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: was hurting because he made it up. So the Red
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Sox doctors, I remember the story. They had to They
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: had to have him have MRIs on both his knees,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and it was all it was all scam. It was
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: all scam. Much like back tightness. Remember when I covered
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the NBA years ago, years ago, and the go to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: injury if a guy was out too late, boozing it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: off and chasing chicks was a lower back injury. If
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: they were hung over and couldn't play on the back
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to back, they'd say they had a lower back injury
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: because there's really no test for a lower back injury,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and so back tightness, I would assume that's the that's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the new term for lower back injury. Like well, if
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you say your back shirt, your back shirt, that's it
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: really a nothing you can do and you can take
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: some tests, but there's really not much for sure. You say,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: as it hurts, it hurts, and all that stuff.

• 17:27
  Speaker 1: offensive line. We got a pretty solid offensive line. We
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: absolutely do, absolutely do so our lead this hour. Our
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: lead this hour is from of course, the trade, the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Big Baffosco Trade, and this hour made possible in part
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Tiraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: mobile tire installation, which makes Kathy and Madison smile and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: mister Knight Guy nod his head. Tire rack dot com
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the way tire buying should be. So are our lead
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: from the big flea market of football. It's the story
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: that everyone's talking about. Everyone's talking about it. The Cowboys
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: made one of the most stunning, mind bending transactions in
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: NFL history. They sent Micah Parsons to the Packers in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: exchange for not one, but two first round draft picks
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and some defensive tackle you've never heard of, a humdinger
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: humdinger for trade. Now, we continue our in depth team
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: coverage all night long, around the clock. We're past just
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the midnight hot We're beyond all that stuff. So people
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: have been trying to figure out what led to the shocking'
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: awe trade. If you're in our world, it's shocking all
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Let's get to the why.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Why Why did Jerry Jones end up pulling the trigger
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: on this Micah Parsons trade to Green Bay? Give me
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the why. So I've got belt buckle, fireworks factory, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Moe Howard and we will combine all of these ingredients
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: together to make your Babushka's favorite matza ball soup. That's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Absolutely warm and fuzzy, absolutely correct.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: All right, So nam burwa, nam bright stop. There's no
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: need to stand in your head. The first word that
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: popped into my head as to why Jerry Jones ended
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: up pulling the trigger on this trade is ego with
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a capital eu. Ego. This is a pride parade. Not
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of pride that I just a very proud man,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of pride. This is a proud billionaire. And
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I guess at one point the family they were made
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: their money an oil oil baron. At one point, Jerry's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: not an oil man anymore. He's a football man. He
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: got told no, Jerry Jones got told no. You don't
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: tell Jerry Jones no. If you tell Jerry Jones no,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: then you got problems. And some agent decided that he
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: was gonna shove it into Jerry Jones's face and say no.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And we know the story now that Jerry believed he
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: had an agreement, he had a handshake deal with Michaeh.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Parsons back in April, and then the agent said no.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: The guy trying to make a name for himself, you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: no name agent in a tailored suit, and Jerry decided, okay,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna burn the house down. Now. We didn't think
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: he would do it. We were skeptics of Michaeh Parson's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: trade happening. We're also skeptics of Michael Parsons's. It's still
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a crazy, crazy town trade to say we're gonna trade
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a twenty six year old defensive player, Michaeh Parsons, for
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a couple of tokens. And we see in the claw
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: machine there's some headphones in there and looks like there's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: like an iPhone, and we're gonna use our tokens and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: try to win the claw machine, but you're likely gonna
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: get nothing, And so doctors do not recommend it unless
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you're Jerry Jones. And you must prove that you've still
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: got the biggest, baddest belt buckle in the room, and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you don't mess with the belt buckle of Jerry Jones.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And Jerry was challenged by David Mullaghetta, the agent, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: he got offended by Mullaghetta, and he made a move
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: out of spite. And this is a f around and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: find out chart brought to life animation for the f
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Around and find Out chart for that agent. Parsons camp thought, well,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Jerry wouldn't do it. He's not gonna do it. No, no,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: no no, And they thought he'd cave in too old.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: He's not like Big Balls Bob there in Vegas. He
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do it. They figured the Cowboys
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: brand was too big a risked Jerry Jones would not
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: give up up the Star. But Jones loves star players.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Every man, woman and child knows Jerry Jones loves star players.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: And Jerry said, you know what I'm gonna show you.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I am going to trade you to the frozen Tundra.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Get out of here. So Parsons goes from eating delicious
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Texas barbecue brisket out of the smoker, he leaves that
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: behind and now he'll be eating delicious cheese curds. He'll
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: be recording his podcast on a pontoon boat on Lake Winnebego.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: That's what they'll be doing, assuming he can get one
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of those satellite hookups of the Internet. And he went
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: from the Star on the helmet, Michael Parsons to a town.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I heard this from somebody and my brother lives not
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: far away from lambeau Field. But the biggest media person
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: in Green Bay is a guy named Bill who runs
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: a packers blog out of his garage. But he's really popular,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I really really find so Dallas was the number Fivember
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: five million markets five green Bay number seventy, number seventy.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: So that is not a drop off. That is a
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: free fall in free fall. And it's kind of like
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: going from hosting Good Morning America to doing weather hits
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: in Glendive, Montana. Did you know that Glendive, Montana is
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the lowest ranked television market in America. It does not
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: go lower than glen Dive, Montana. That is as low
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: as it goes. So the endorsement dollars, they're not all gone,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: but lower visibility lowered for Micah Parsons. Now that being said,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: he can enjoy all the different kinds of cheeses available
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: over in Kenosha at the Cheese Castle. So he's got that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: And Parsons can get a statue, not next to Lombardi,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: he can get one next to Harry Houdini over in
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Appleton Harry Houdini Museum over there and hang out now
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Page two, Is it true? Is it true that Jerry
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Jones had doubts about Michael Parsons showing up in big moments.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: So I am nodding my head. Yes, you can't see
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: me unless you're watching on the YouTube, and I'm nodding
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: my head. Just they don't call him Micah the mirage
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: for nothing like. Parsons has had a lot of sizzle.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: In fact, I would say playing for the Cowboys, he's
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: had more sizzle than that. The heat of platter at
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: El tourto You know, there's a lot of sizzle there,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and yet when the lights hit brightest in the big games,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: he's Casper the pass rusher is what he is, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you see the outline, you feel some pressure, but there's
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: no real impact there. Poof he goes, he goes limp
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And Michael Parsons is the kind of player and it's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a lot like Dak Prescott where he will dominate from
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year and then he'll dominate in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the middle of October and disappear by the time we
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: get to January, which is problematic unless they change the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: NFL calendar and play the postseason a different time. He's
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the defensive version of a fireworks factory. In theory, a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: fireworks factory is very explosive, kaboom, a very explosive, right,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: But when the fuse is lit in crunch time, all
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you get is a dud, a puff of smoke, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a sad crown bone. And that's it and an example.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: And no one's talking about this, but I believe it
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: is a central part of why Micah Parsons was traded.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: We mentioned the agent, and that's certainly a big part
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of this. But let's go back in the hot up
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: time machine. We're going to go to the twenty twenty
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: three playoffs early twenty twenty four, a disastrous, dismal Cowboy
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: playoff loss at home two of all teams, the Green
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers in the wild card round. Micah Parsons was
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: a no show. Now, what is my evidence? He was
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a no show watching that game, But also the statue,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Also the statue, didn't you know for the first three
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: quarters of that NFL playoff game in Dallas that you
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: had and I had as many tackles and as many
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: sacks as Michaeh Parsons. The Cowboys were down forty one
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to sixteen going to the fourth quarter of that playoff game,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and then Michaeh. Parsons made a couple of plays in
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when the game was well over, well over,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and I recall how upset Jerry Jones was, and he
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: was one of the stars that did not shine bright.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: He was a falling star, Michah Parsons in that game.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And you gotta think somewhere somewhere in the mind of
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and that was a factor. You just have
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to think that somewhere in the back of his head,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: all right now, final point. Michael Parsons issued a prepared statement.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: He went on social media and issued a statement on
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: his trade going to the state of Wisconsin from the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: state of Texas. He said, quote, I never wanted this
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: chapter to end, Parsons sent out on the socials, but
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: not everything was in my control, he wrote. Prepared statement continues,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Parsons wrote, my heart has always been here, meaning Dallas
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and still is. Parsons said, well, that's because you haven't
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: flown to Wisconsin anyway. Now, he said, through it all,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I never he said, never made any demands. I never
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: asked for anything more than fairness. I only asked that
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: the person I trust and negotiate my contract can be
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: part of the process. Close quote, So can you parse
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the words? Can you parse the words of Micah Parsons
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: saying I never wanted this chapter to end? Can you
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: parse the words? So my first thought on this is
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: what are the chances Michaeh. Parsons actually wrote that I'm
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: gonna go zero point zero zero. That's my guess. You
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: want to go lower than that? Okay, you lower than that?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So Parsons was playing with matches and he ended up
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: starting a five alarm inferno. Is what he did because
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: he positioned himself as the harmless victim in this prepared statement.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And that is a mix of utter nonsense and a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: half truth. Utter nonsense and a half truth that Michaeh
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Parsons is completely innocent. I just wanted fairness, and that's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: all I wanted because I recall the last Cowboy exhibition game.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Michah Parsons had an absolute conniption fit, a hissy fit
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: during that final exhibition game against the Atlanta Falcons. He
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: looked like Mo Howard doing slapstick comedy with the Three Stooges.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: You had bad body language, the mannerisms, the gyrations, all that.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: What are your examples Ben. I'll give you my examples now.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Parsons was spotted eating those delicious stadium nachos in the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: hallway right before the game started, right before kickoff. Well,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: he didn't play the game. I know, it's just bad decorum.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: He was also during the game spotted for a moment
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: or two lying on the trainer's table like he had
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: been shot from a bazooka while the Cowboys were on offense.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: So there's that. And he also did the call me
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: gesture with his hand, you know how you make your
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: hand a phone like, hey, call me. He did the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: call me gesture to a group of Falcon fans in
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the bleachers who wanted him to go to Atlanta. So
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the only thing missing was the twin pronged poke in
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the eye. Y, yeah, that's the only thing missing. But
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: he did do a little bit of mohouard, little bit
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: of mohoward. Three stooges, and the common denominator. The common
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: denominator in this is again the agent David mula Getta.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: That's the villain in this. That's the guy. He wants
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: to be the next Drew Rosenhous. He wants to be
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the Scott Boris of baseball, and I respect the hustle.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I respect the hustle. And Jerry says that he had
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the outline of this contract done in April, and then
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Mula Getta tossed a monkey ranch into the deal. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: tossed a monkey ranch into the deal. And the agent
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: acts on behalf of the client. Anyone that's ever been
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: in a job where you've had an agent, I've had
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: an agent. Obviously not a good one. I'm still doing overnights,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: but I had an agent and the agent acts on
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: behalf of me when I had an agent, and they
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: are working for you in this case, they're working for
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. And to rephrase this, at any point, at
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: any time, the client in this case, Michael Parsons could
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: have intervened and said, listen, I appreciate this. I've worked
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: out the logistics on this. This is the deal I want.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: And you know, man, a man, old school. I met
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones. This is the deal he offered me.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: This is the deal I accepted. So just make sure
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: that everything's you know, good, cross the t's dot the ies.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I'm good. But that's not what happened, MOI get is
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: like Screwjerry Jones. I'm going to get my chunk of
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the money here, and I'm going to get more money
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: out of Jerry, And so he ends up going to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: green Bay. Now the other part of this and we'll
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: get into another conspiracy later. How about this for a conspiracy?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Did Jordan Love? Is it true? Is it true that
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love played a role in this happening, that he
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: facilitated this particular trade between Green Bay and Dallas, that
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love was involved this? Now, what is my evidence
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: on that? If you if you look at the agent
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Move Aghetta here, you have to wonder if it was
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: orchestrated because among his other clients Jordan Love. So Michaeh
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Parsons agent shares he shares his agent with among other
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: NFL players during Love. So is it conceivable that Move
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the Ghetta weaponized Jordan Love and said, hey, Jordan, can
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: you do me a solid and go to the Packers
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and say that my guy would love to play there,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: even though he probably doesn't, but see if they'll give
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you the money. They got the space, and so he did.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: And there you go. I'm just throwing that out there.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Just let that breathe a little bit. You can let that
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: breathe a little bit. And so the agent here acting
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: on behalf of the client unless they're not. And now
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Micah will go to Green Bay and he gets the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: most money ever for a non quarterback. Good for him,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: which is important because you know, twenty nine degree days
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: in December in Green Bay. You need really nice ear muffs,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and you need really good wolf socks. You gotta have
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: those really good wolf socks and a nice parker. Those
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: are three items that you need. And so he'll have those.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: He'll be able to buy the really nice wolf socks,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: some solid ear muffs, and a really nice parker. He'll
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: get all of those things.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that?
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big fan gets grilled.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Koopolo Rushie Rice was handed a six game suspension for
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: his involvement in a multi car crash last year, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Rice won't be appealing the ruling.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Ben.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: How much of an impact is this going to have
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: on the chief season, Well, he'll be.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Back by the time the games get pretty important. Kansas
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: City showed last year they can manage the game, Andy Reid.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: They did not have a great offense last year with Mahomes,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and they still were able to win those games. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: they have Xavier Worthy Hollywood Brown at the start of
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the year. So those guys get hurt and the rotting
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: corpse of Juju Smith Schuster, so there's there's enough to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: work with there, and you know, some of those guys
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: are gonna get hurt. That's the problem. Right now, they're fine.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: When those guys start getting hurt, that's the problem, but
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll end up going four and to it worse
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to start the year.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Next, an NFL writer for Sports Illustrated predicted that Jackson
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Dart will start thirteen games this season for the Giants.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Ben Are you taking the under?
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I liked it, he said, thirteen, not fourteen, not twelve.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: He went with thirteen. Of course, I'm gonna take the
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: under because even if he Russell Wilson's gonna get replaced
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: at some point. But you don't know if dark Jackson
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Dart's gonna be good or if he's gonna get hurt,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: so you always got to go under.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Next, Mark Cuban made a podcast appearance this week where
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: he said that he will go to his grave convinced
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: that the six NBA Finals was stolen from the Mavericks.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: You don't agree with Cuban on much, Ben, but how
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: about this one.
