0:46
Speaker 1: a one hundred million dollar lawsuit against DK Metcalf, Chad
0:52
Speaker 1: Johnson and Shannon Sharp for sullying his good name even

0:59
Speaker 1: with the blue wig.

4:38
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the hour. So so so exciting.
4:43
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Unbelievable, all right, but we're gonna
4:46
Speaker 1: begin with this though. I'm always a sucker for a
4:49
Speaker 1: good rumor, even a sucker for a bad rumor. This
4:52
Speaker 1: one's not that bad. It's it's all right, it's decent.
4:55
Speaker 1: It's got is that a little something to it? A
4:57
Speaker 1: little something to it. So we're we're okay that. So
5:00
Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from the Twin Cities, where
5:03
Speaker 1: Femi is delivering all kinds of sandwiches and goodies and
5:08
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and an Eke is hanging out bunkerd
5:12
Speaker 1: down and all these guys. Al's doing his thing, all
5:15
Speaker 1: the legends, all the legends that are part of the show.
5:18
Speaker 1: Raz quit the band, who has a new name? All
5:20
Speaker 1: those cats a gunner. He's way up in Minnesota. So
5:24
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and the Patriots are plausibly going to
5:27
Speaker 1: battle it out. It's going to be a slobber knocker
5:31
Speaker 1: this weekend in the Super Bowl. Now, there is some
5:33
Speaker 1: interesting chatter out of the Twin Cities, and if you
5:36
Speaker 1: didn't hear this, perhaps not some noise that the Vikings
5:41
Speaker 1: are all hot and heavy they're interested in acquiring Bengals
5:46
Speaker 1: quarterback Joe Burrow. All right, here we go. Now, popular
5:51
Speaker 1: opinion by popular people is that the Bengals do not
5:55
Speaker 1: want to trade Joe Burrow. However, if Burrow doesn't want
5:59
Speaker 1: to play there anymore and makes a stink over it,
6:02
Speaker 1: well watch out. Now the Bengals could be swayed with
6:05
Speaker 1: a quote Ricky Williams type offer. Ricky Williams type offer
6:11
Speaker 1: that used to be the herschel Walker type offer, and
6:13
Speaker 1: then it got updated to Ricky Williams. That's where the
6:15
Speaker 1: Saints traded all of their draft picks to get Ricky Williams.
6:19
Speaker 1: And then the highlight was I think when he wore
6:21
Speaker 1: a dress. I think that was the highlight of Ricky
6:24
Speaker 1: Williams with the Saints. Anyway, Ricky, from what I understand,
6:26
Speaker 1: the very well in the weed business making a ton
6:28
Speaker 1: of money, so good for him. But Minnesota, the chatterer
6:33
Speaker 1: says that they are preparing to flip quarterback JJ McCarthy
6:38
Speaker 1: and multiple first round picks to get Joe Burrow in purple.
6:45
Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
6:48
Speaker 1: discuss and the question for the esteem panel, how do
6:53
Speaker 1: you feel about the whispers of Joe Burrow landing with
6:57
Speaker 1: the Vikings? How do you feel about that? I've got Springer,
7:02
Speaker 1: Ballot Box, and Warner Wolf and we will combine all
7:08
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
7:11
Speaker 1: go one, two three at ABC. We're gonna make some
7:14
Speaker 1: fahetas and corn chips and it's just gonna be great.
7:17
Speaker 1: All right. So, first of all, I answer this as
7:20
Speaker 1: a fledgling overnight gas bag. From a purely talk radio standpoint,
7:27
Speaker 1: I would say, how do you feel hum, baby light
7:30
Speaker 1: the fuse co boom? Why not now play football?
7:37
Speaker 2: There?
7:37
Speaker 1: It is right there. From a football standpoint, though, if
7:40
Speaker 1: you were the Cincinnati Bengals, you would be absolute dingle Bears.
7:44
Speaker 1: You'd be Schmendricks, you'd be Mama Lukes. To make that trade,
7:47
Speaker 1: it would be football malpractice, It would be malfeasance. You
7:51
Speaker 1: would have gone a wall. All of those big words,
7:54
Speaker 1: all of those big words. However, don't tell me that
7:58
Speaker 1: there's not something there, like is something bubbling up? Bubble?
8:06
Speaker 1: Now Burrow's been dropping those something's gotta change breadcrumbs, dropping
8:12
Speaker 1: them around little clues. It's like a treasure map. And
8:15
Speaker 1: what does it mean? And well, does he mean something else?
8:18
Speaker 1: Is there a hidden meaning? And uh, it's not nothing.
8:23
Speaker 1: It's nothing that Cincinnati tried this past year. They tried
8:27
Speaker 1: the Drake approach. And what is the Drake approach? They
8:31
Speaker 1: tried to provide the wants and needs for Joe Burrow.
8:36
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow wanted his wide receivers to be paid for.
8:40
Speaker 1: I wanted them to get paid and that is exactly
8:42
Speaker 1: what happened. I wanted the Bengals to spend some money,
8:45
Speaker 1: and so they did. They kept the offense together and
8:48
Speaker 1: Burrow is still scy eyeing the off ramp. He's like, well,
8:52
Speaker 1: I'd like to go on the off maybe the next one.
8:55
Speaker 1: Now ask for the Vikings. Who cares if they just
8:58
Speaker 1: fired their GM because he was drafting players off a
9:02
Speaker 1: NERD website and not actually doing his job. This would
9:06
Speaker 1: be chaos radio. And I like because think about what
9:13
Speaker 1: that would entail if this happens, And why not we
9:15
Speaker 1: can have some fun. It's in the middle of the night.
9:17
Speaker 1: You can't have fun? Now, when can you have fun?
9:19
Speaker 1: So if Joe Burrow were to divorce the Bengals, he
9:23
Speaker 1: would be leaving Jamar Chase and he would be running
9:28
Speaker 1: back to his college sweetheart wide receiver Justin Jefferson, a
9:32
Speaker 1: fellow LSU. They're all LSU players making this early two thousands,
9:38
Speaker 1: Jerry Springer like drama, O rama, the drama, O rama.
9:45
Speaker 1: Now Jefferson's already thrown a couple of polite jabs and
9:52
Speaker 1: one body blow body blow at JJ McCarthy and jealousy
9:58
Speaker 1: quotes about how Burrow and Chase. This was a little
10:01
Speaker 1: while back, but there were some quotes from Justin Jefferson
10:03
Speaker 1: where he talked about how he was jealous that Joe
10:05
Speaker 1: Burrow and Jamar Chase got to play together in the NFL,
10:09
Speaker 1: and he was waxing loquacious about the nostalgia from his
10:13
Speaker 1: LSU days in Baton Rouge. So this thing is it's simmering.
10:19
Speaker 1: I mentioned it's bubbling up a little bit and all that.
10:22
Speaker 1: Is it realistic? Probably not? Probably not? Is it delicious?
10:25
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely? So I say keep it coming. I'm all
10:29
Speaker 1: about it. And once we get done with this little
10:31
Speaker 1: pesky super Bowl, these are the kind of stories that
10:34
Speaker 1: we are going to lean into quite a bit on
10:37
Speaker 1: the show. So secondly, we go to Atlanta where the
10:40
Speaker 1: Falcons president of football ops maddy Ice Matt Ryan would
10:46
Speaker 1: not would not commit to Michael Pennex junior, who was
10:52
Speaker 1: the first round pick of the Atlanta football team not
10:56
Speaker 1: that long ago. Matt Ryan would not commit to Michael
11:00
Speaker 1: Pennix Junior being the team starting quarterback. And just to
11:03
Speaker 1: prove I'm not making this up, here is Matt Ryan
11:07
Speaker 1: who gave a non answer. He wouldn't go either direction
11:10
Speaker 1: on his potato.
11:11
Speaker 2: Is.
11:12
Speaker 3: Neither of us are the head coach of the football team,
11:14
Speaker 3: so we can't answer your question on that. But you know,
11:19
Speaker 3: I think all of us are going to get together.
11:21
Speaker 3: As Ian's been a part of it for.
11:25
Speaker 4: I guess three days, yeah, three days.
11:28
Speaker 3: And has had a lot on his plate during that time.
11:31
Speaker 3: I think, you know, as we start to get into
11:32
Speaker 3: this process and dive deeper into the roster, how it
11:36
Speaker 3: currently stands, where it's you know, going in the future.
11:39
Speaker 3: I think those are conversations that'll be a part of it.
11:42
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks obviously very important, and we're you know, excited about
11:45
Speaker 3: Mike and what he's doing with his rehab. I've been
11:48
Speaker 3: up at the facility the last you know, three weeks,
11:50
Speaker 3: and Michael's been in there attacking that and he's in
11:53
Speaker 3: a good space right now. So we're excited about where
11:55
Speaker 3: he's at. But certainly a lot of discussions for us
11:58
Speaker 3: about the entire roster.
12:00
Speaker 1: Okay, So that was a word salad, And the only
12:04
Speaker 1: thing I took away from that is we need more
12:06
Speaker 1: salad dressing, because that was very That was that was
12:08
Speaker 1: too many leafy greens, and that was that was bad.
12:12
Speaker 1: So uh, Summer saying well, he was just being polite,
12:15
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was just being polite. That's nonsense. Okay, it's nonsense.
12:19
Speaker 1: That was a non answer answer with a lot of words,
12:21
Speaker 1: a lot of vowels, all that this was not accidental.
12:25
Speaker 1: This was a tell. It was everyone knows what that means.
12:29
Speaker 1: That is a trip to the ballot box and a
12:32
Speaker 1: vote of no confidence. Every man, woman and child with
12:36
Speaker 1: a pulse knows it. Even Tommy in Atlanta, the Great Tommy,
12:41
Speaker 1: one of our p ones. He came up to the
12:42
Speaker 1: meet and greet we did in Charleston, and he knows.
12:45
Speaker 1: And all the other five and a half fans of
12:48
Speaker 1: the Falcons know that. To not endorse Michael Pennix Junior,
12:52
Speaker 1: to tap dance around it, that's a big boy move.
12:55
Speaker 1: And frankly, the player, he hasn't done enough to deserve
13:01
Speaker 1: just being given the big chair. He was a yeah,
13:04
Speaker 1: he was a first round draft pick. He hasn't shown
13:07
Speaker 1: anything other than he gets hurt a lot, and he's
13:08
Speaker 1: inconsistent and at the very least, you gotta make him
13:12
Speaker 1: earn it. And so far, Michael Pennex just he hasn't
13:17
Speaker 1: earned Bopkins. He hasn't earned. He hasn't earned the gabba.
13:22
Speaker 1: Ghoul hasn't earned that. Think of it like Matt Ryan
13:25
Speaker 1: signing the lease to an apartment or you signing lease, Superman.
13:30
Speaker 1: In this case, you signed the lease and you got
13:33
Speaker 1: the keys, and you you went into the place and
13:37
Speaker 1: there's there's Michael Pennex Junior, This raggedy sofa that came
13:41
Speaker 1: with the penthouse apartment. And you're like, well, I don't
13:43
Speaker 1: really want that. It's a pain to move and I
13:46
Speaker 1: didn't buy it. I don't really like the way it looks.
13:50
Speaker 1: There's some some holes in it and all that. I
13:52
Speaker 1: didn't choose it. So you tolerted like until you find
13:57
Speaker 1: something better. And Matt Ryan, he was high to make
14:01
Speaker 1: it like his HGTV. He's playing love it or listed
14:06
Speaker 1: with every player on the Falcon roster do you love
14:08
Speaker 1: the player or do you want to list the player?
14:10
Speaker 1: And he wants his own furniture, And in Atlanta has
14:15
Speaker 1: been chronically underachieving in the eyes of many based on
14:18
Speaker 1: the draft players. They got that the nerds all love
14:22
Speaker 1: and they are all excited for and they haven't lived
14:24
Speaker 1: up to that. And so that's just reality. That's it
14:26
Speaker 1: all right now, final thought. Now we get to the
14:28
Speaker 1: good stuff. Now we guys, don't bury the lead mom man,
14:33
Speaker 1: I bury the lead bat job by me so bad?
14:36
Speaker 1: This is so good? Man is out great? This is
14:39
Speaker 1: a humdinger. We head to Detroit in stories that are
14:44
Speaker 1: as predictable as water being in the ocean and the
14:48
Speaker 1: sun and the moon in the sky. The blue haired,
14:53
Speaker 1: wig wearing Lion fan Ryan Kennedy. You see did you
14:57
Speaker 1: see what this guy did? He has filed a one
15:00
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar lawsuit against Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver DK
15:07
Speaker 1: Metcalf and the media company that is involved with Chad Johnson. Really,
15:14
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp is the one that's behind that, but Chad
15:17
Speaker 1: Johnson is a sidekick to Shannon Sharp. The lawsuit alleges defamation,
15:23
Speaker 1: negligence and more. Now, Kennedy says that he was falsely
15:27
Speaker 1: branded a racist in national media following that moment in December.
15:35
Speaker 1: There was the altercation. I was in late December, a
15:38
Speaker 1: little bit before Christmas with Metcalf, Pittsburgh playing Detroit Ford Field.
15:46
Speaker 1: You might remember that Metcalf walked over to the crowd.
15:49
Speaker 1: There was a attempted slap that took place, and anyway,
15:56
Speaker 1: this cat Kennedy is like, hey, listen, dude, I am
16:00
Speaker 1: denying this and his attorney because we all love attorneys.
16:05
Speaker 1: His attorney says that no audio or video evidence supports
16:10
Speaker 1: claims that racial slurs were used, and there's a lot
16:14
Speaker 1: of video and audio evidence on what happened there. Because
16:20
Speaker 1: everyone pulls out their phone, no one actually watches with
16:22
Speaker 1: their own eyes, and here's with their own ears. They
16:24
Speaker 1: all have their phone out. It's the statue of liberty.
16:27
Speaker 1: You're holding your arm up like Lady Liberty, and you're
16:30
Speaker 1: trying to document everything and that. So there's a bunch
16:32
Speaker 1: of video on grainy cell phones. I say that with
16:35
Speaker 1: a wink and a nod to the technology there. And
16:38
Speaker 1: the allegation spread. When the words came out by Ocho Cinco,
16:46
Speaker 1: we talked about it. We made sure to not get
16:50
Speaker 1: us some legal trouble, legal or legal jeopardy, rather lego jeopardy.
16:55
Speaker 1: So Ojo Cinco said point blank that the Lion fan
16:58
Speaker 1: used the N word. Kennedy is also suing Metcalf for
17:04
Speaker 1: assault and battery. I don't know that that would be
17:08
Speaker 1: assault and battery. Okay, look like missed more than any anyway,
17:13
Speaker 1: the Steeler Star wide receiver. Also, all these people being
17:18
Speaker 1: sued for liability and their problem, the other part of
17:24
Speaker 1: the problem and all this stuff. So he's seeking damages. Also,
17:27
Speaker 1: he wants a court ordered public retraction to clear his
17:31
Speaker 1: good name. Question, does Lions fan Ryan Kennedy have a
17:38
Speaker 1: winnable case in his one hundred million dollars lawsuit against
17:44
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Chad Johnson, Ocho Cinco, and Shannon Sharp. Now,
17:52
Speaker 1: I am not a lawyer. I know you probably think
17:54
Speaker 1: I am because I do an overnight talk show and
17:56
Speaker 1: we're very powerful people. But I am not a lawyer.
17:58
Speaker 1: I don't normally play one on Ben Maler show, but
18:01
Speaker 1: when I do, here's what I think. I got eyes,
18:04
Speaker 1: I got ears, and this lawsuit from this Lions fan.
18:09
Speaker 1: It is a full blown Warner Wolf special. Let's go
18:14
Speaker 1: to the video tape. It's all about the video tape
18:16
Speaker 1: and the audio tape, and the tape is ugly. You
18:20
Speaker 1: got DK Metcalf looking like the clear instigator. This could
18:26
Speaker 1: not have happened if Metcalf had not got over to
18:30
Speaker 1: engage the fan. You can't be doing it, and he
18:34
Speaker 1: did it. There's a debait. Didn't you enter an area
18:39
Speaker 1: where you put yourself in risk of confronting a fan
18:44
Speaker 1: and having this internation? The answer is yes, there's really
18:47
Speaker 1: no argument against that. And then you've got Chad Johnson,
18:52
Speaker 1: better known by his Bengal name Ocho Cinco, running his
18:56
Speaker 1: mouth like he's getting paid by the syllable and he's
19:00
Speaker 1: the one that spilled the tea. And then Shannon Sharp's
19:03
Speaker 1: chiming in because that's what he does. And this whole
19:06
Speaker 1: thing is so messy. How messy is it? It's so
19:11
Speaker 1: messy that dude wipes should sponsor this, right, I mean?
19:15
Speaker 1: And a hasmad team. It's a lot of noise. There's
19:19
Speaker 1: a lot of giant egos involved, and based on what
19:23
Speaker 1: I heard, I knew right away. I was texting my
19:25
Speaker 1: radio friends because we have to take training every year
19:29
Speaker 1: because these major media companies don't want to get sued,
19:32
Speaker 1: So we have to take training on what you're allowed
19:34
Speaker 1: to say and what you're not allowed to say. And
19:37
Speaker 1: we have to do this. It's online training, but we
19:39
Speaker 1: have to do it every year. And Chad Johnson violated
19:42
Speaker 1: pretty much every one of the standard boilerplate rules, like
19:46
Speaker 1: there are certain things you can say and if you
19:48
Speaker 1: phrase them the right way, you can still say them.
19:51
Speaker 1: You just have to put some qualifiers in there, and
19:53
Speaker 1: if you don't put them in you are facing a
19:57
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar lawsuit. I'll let you in a
19:59
Speaker 1: little a little trickeration. So one of the moves that
20:03
Speaker 1: they teach is as long as you say it's your opinion,
20:07
Speaker 1: you can't be sued for your opinion. You can't lose
20:12
Speaker 1: if somebody sues you and you say, well, I said
20:14
Speaker 1: it was my opinion. Well, no, everyone's entitled, at least
20:18
Speaker 1: in this country. I still think you're entitled to your opinion.
20:20
Speaker 1: So you can't be sued for that. If you say
20:23
Speaker 1: it as fact and it's not fact, and you're not
20:26
Speaker 1: saying it's your opinion, it becomes problem. And we knew
20:29
Speaker 1: this was going to be a lawsuit the moment this
20:31
Speaker 1: guy he wanted to get the bag, he hired the
20:33
Speaker 1: ambulance chasing billboard lawyer. Guys, from what I understand, and
20:37
Speaker 1: so it's not we don't need to oversimplify this. This
20:43
Speaker 1: isn't put put windmill golf. People do watch video and
20:48
Speaker 1: see different things, so that is the thing they've got
20:51
Speaker 1: going for him. It's you know, neuroscience perception blah blah
20:55
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Regardless of that, after a quick one
20:59
Speaker 1: minute Malard deliberation, this is headed one direction and one
21:05
Speaker 1: direction only settlement. It's going to a settlement. Then this
21:09
Speaker 1: guy's not going to get anywhere near one hundred million
21:11
Speaker 1: dollars and his attorneys are going to get likely fifty
21:14
Speaker 1: percent of whatever he gets in fees. I'm I'm assuming
21:18
Speaker 1: he's not paying them hourly. And the argument is that
21:21
Speaker 1: nobody wants the video freezing on a jury screen of
21:26
Speaker 1: you know, DK Metcalf doing this, and then the audio
21:28
Speaker 1: then it clearly shows this didn't happen. And that's how
21:31
Speaker 1: you end up writing a Looney Tunes sized ACME cartoon
21:36
Speaker 1: check behind closed doors with an ironclad NDA Actme sized
21:44
Speaker 1: cartoon case closed. It is the Ben Mahlor Show, and

Speaker 1: guye Jay is in Seattle. Hello, Jay, Welcome?
36:53
Speaker 2: How you doing Ben?
36:55
Speaker 1: Are you a twelve Jay? Yes, I'm an original from
37:00
Speaker 1: the era old school man when they had the original
37:04
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner back in the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
37:08
Speaker 1: remember those. I like those uniforms. Man. Those popped at
37:11
Speaker 1: the Kingdome in Seattle. There they pop for sure. All right, well,
37:15
Speaker 1: look at here we go. Let's play the game. Good
37:17
Speaker 1: luck to you, Jay, and look at that you became.
37:20
Speaker 1: You got older. Now the Seahawks every few years have
37:22
Speaker 1: a good team. Amazing. Okay, all right, too much or
37:24
Speaker 1: not enough? And you have to get three right to
37:27
Speaker 1: win the game. Are you ready?
37:29
Speaker 4: Yes?
37:30
Speaker 1: Okay? Here there are four freshmen averaging twenty or more
37:35
Speaker 1: points per game in Division one this season? That would
37:39
Speaker 1: be college basketball? Is that too much or not enough?
37:46
Speaker 1: Not enough? That's correct, kid, not enough? There are six?
37:53
Speaker 1: There are six that would be the most in any
37:55
Speaker 1: season in this century. Question number two? You want to no?
37:59
Speaker 1: Question two? There have been five players in Phoenix Sun's
38:02
Speaker 1: history to record eight or more assists and eight plus
38:06
Speaker 1: three pointers in a game. Is that too much or
38:09
Speaker 1: not enough? Too much? Right again? Look at you, Jay?
38:14
Speaker 1: Too much? Colin Gillespie just became the third to do it,
38:17
Speaker 1: joined Devin Booker and that nice Canadian lad Steve Nash
38:22
Speaker 1: from back in the day. Question number three. There are
38:26
Speaker 1: only three players in history with three hundred or more
38:30
Speaker 1: career rushing yards in Super Bowls? Is that too much
38:34
Speaker 1: or not enough? Not enough? No believe or not? There's
38:42
Speaker 1: only one. That's a quirky fun fact, Frank Oharris with
38:49
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty four yards back in the glory
38:51
Speaker 1: days of the Pittsburgh Steer. So you still got two, right,
38:54
Speaker 1: You got a couple more chances to get that last one.
38:57
Speaker 1: How you're feeling right now? Jay? You're feeling pretty good? Right?
38:59
Speaker 1: You feeling pretty good?
39:00
Speaker 2: Feeling confident?
39:02
Speaker 1: All right, very common. Are you more confident in you
39:05
Speaker 1: winning or more confident in the Seahawks winning?
39:08
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna cover four and a half.
39:12
Speaker 1: About that, felt, I don't know.
39:14
Speaker 4: I'm gonna shut him down.
39:16
Speaker 1: I agree, good luck, don't lose all your money? All right?
39:21
Speaker 1: Here we go. This is right in your wheelhouse. Question
39:23
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks, your team, Jay, had you better
39:26
Speaker 1: get this writer bad omen have ten undrafted players on
39:29
Speaker 1: their active roster. Is that too much or not enough
39:33
Speaker 1: for the win? Jay? Low hanging fruit? Too much? Jay,
39:43
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are going to lose now because you said
39:44
Speaker 1: the wrong answer. Not the sixteen, but sixteen undrafted players.
39:48
Speaker 1: Believe it or not? All right, it comes down to this, Jay,
39:50
Speaker 1: the drama. There's a lot of tension. It's the fourth
39:54
Speaker 1: quarter of the Super Bowl. You gotta score your down
39:56
Speaker 1: by a couple of points. Here we go. Mike Rabel
40:00
Speaker 1: is only the sixth head coach in NFL history to
40:02
Speaker 1: lead his team to a Super Bowl in his first
40:04
Speaker 1: year with the team. Is that too much or not
40:06
Speaker 1: enough for the win? Jay? Quickly? Too much? No, Jay,
40:13
Speaker 1: the answer was not enough. Oh no, he's the eighth
40:17
Speaker 1: coach to do it and Jay, you don't win, unfortunately,
40:19
Speaker 1: have a nice party, gift a lifetime supply. Nothing unbelievable,
