  Speaker 1: overpay for Christian Gonzalez? We'll talk about that. Also, how

  Speaker 1: do you translate Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski saying he has
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: blinders on regarding the future of Tua Tungabailoa? Not a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: good sign in the ATL. And what led to the

  Speaker 1: crown is yours. Well, it is a case of not gonzo.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Not now and not anytime soon. A developing story. Our
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: lead out of the Commonwealth. If you missed it, it
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: happened just a little bit before we cracked the microphones
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: here on the Ben Maller Show. We have learned. that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Christian Gonzalez has agreed to a new contract, a record-setting contract.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: He's a defensive back for the New England football team,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and the Patriots have given him a four-year contract, $ 135
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: million to play defensive back. Those guys used to get
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: paid chopped liver. Now it's $ 135 million. He's buying. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see this, perhaps not, we are told
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the contract includes $ 102 million guaranteed. It averages $ 33. 7 million
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: per year. $ 33. 7 million per year, making Christian Gonzalez the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: highest paid defensive back in the history of the National League.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Football League. Holy Woodson, Batman. Gonzalez surpassing Devin Witherspoon of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the Seattle football team who recently signed a contract to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: make him the highest paid. Now, it is interesting to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: note that Gonzalez is going to make $ 1 million more.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So he has trumped Devin Witherspoon by $ 1 million. That
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Keep it simple here. Give a knee jerk reaction. Did
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the Patriots overpay for Christian Gonzalez? Did they end up
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: overpaying for Christian Gonzalez? All right. So I've got a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: game show. We've got game show. We also have a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: crusty old urine stained mattress and potato salad. And we'll
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to put you under a spell. Yes, under a spell.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: That is right. All right, so we begin with this.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: All right, we begin with this. The Patriots negotiated Christian
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Gonzalez a contract. I'm convinced that they found some Saudi
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: oil money and a dartboard. And they said, let's play
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a game. We've got the Saudi oil money. We've got
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the dartboard. And then we're going to purchase the deluxe
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: cornerback package. and every overpriced option that they offer us
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: at the dealership. Okay.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Everything.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: You don't need that stuff. I'll buy it anyway. Why not?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So $ 33. 7 million. At that price tag, $ 33. 7 million annually.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced that even our friend Jerry in Rhode Island
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: would say Gonzalez should not have a receiver even line
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: up on his side of the field. Anyone who's worth
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: their salt should not line up against Christian Gonzalez. He
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: should be going against tumbleweeds. Who are you defending on
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: this play, Mr.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Gonzalez?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I'm defending the tumbleweeds. That's who I'm defending.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I will concede everyone is overpriced in that sport. It's toontown.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's not real. It's redonkulous. It's real, but it's not.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: This contract has more guaranteed money, I'm convinced, than the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts Road Project with three no-bid contractors, which seems to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: happen a lot. So I've heard about the politics there.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So are the Patriots paying Gonzalez for what he's already accomplished,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: or are they paying him for what he's going to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: do over the course of the contract? Because Gonzalez actually,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: on my big board, isn't the NFL's top defensive back.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: He's good. He's not bad. I'm not trashing the guy.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: He's just not at the very top of the list,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and he's merely the latest contestant in that game show.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: The price is right. Cornerback edition. So, again, to answer
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the question, did the Patriots overpay for Christian Gonzalez? Yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'm nodding my head yes. However, it's just simply the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: cost of doing business for what is perceived to be
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: an elite young defensive back. And the NFL, we've talked
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: about this, they've got so much money. They're the last
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: thing that people watch live, the last thing that people
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: watch live. And so, as a result, they've got Mexican
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: cartel drug money. They're just... burning money because they don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: know what to do with it. They're burying it in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the backyard. It's wild. Now, meanwhile, speaking of wild, let's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: go to Atlanta, where the announcement has been made, the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: saddest quarterback announcement in the history of quarterback announcements in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the modern era. The Atlanta Falcons have named Tua Tungabailoa.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: He is officially the week number one starting quarterback. But
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Coach Kevin Stefanski refusing the day they announced that Tua
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is going to be the starting quarterback, the head coach
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of the Atlanta football team refusing to commit to anything
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: beyond this coming weekend. Listen to Kevin Stefanski. Boy, if
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you're Tua, this is a kick to the nuts. Take
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a listen. I'm a blinders person.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: I got the blinders on, so. I see week one
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: in front of me, and after this one, then we'll
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: start on the next one and those type of things.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: So I don't think it's fair to really go past
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: this week on anything related to our football team.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You think the Buffalo Bills say, well, we're just going
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to start Josh Allen this week, and then we'll see
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: what happens. I have blinders on. Come on. You smell that?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: That's fresh, hot bull crap is what that is. Play
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it again. Play it again. This is a head coach
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of an NFL team who's announcing that he will not
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: commit to his quarterback pass this week, but he's using
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the B word. Take a listen.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I'm a blinders person. I got the blinders on, so
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: I see week one in front of me. After this one,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: then we'll start on the next one and those type
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: of things. So I don't think it's fair to really
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: go past this week on anything related to our football team.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Let's ask the coach in Baltimore. Is Lamar Jackson going
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to be your starting quarterback past week two? Okay. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: got blinders on. I can't commit to that. Oh, my God. Oh,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: my God. So the Falcons open up with the Pittsburgh
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: football team. And as you heard there, the B word
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: blinders used regarding the future. So Michael Penix Jr., the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: real reason that this is happening is because the guy
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the Falcons wanted to start, Michael Penix Jr., will be inactive.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: He's not ready to go. Cooper Rush. Good luck on that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: We'll be backing up Tua. We'll likely get some plays
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in there this weekend. So Penix admitted that he's, quote,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: not where I want to be right now, he said physically,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: although he says he's really close. Well, that's great. So
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Falcons will now have a different week. Number one
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the sixth consecutive year. Six straight years
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta football team will have a new quarterback. Where
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: have you gone, Matty Ice? Well, we know where he is.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: He's now running the front office. So the question, how
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: do you translate Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski saying that he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: has blinders on regarding the future of Tua Tungabailoa? So
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Tua didn't exactly grab the Falcon by its wings, and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the starting job didn't grab it by its throat either,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and he's holding on to that gig by his pinky toe.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: He's got his little pinky toe. My little pinky. He
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: found QB1 abandoned. It's really odd that this would happen,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a starting job like that. Tungabailoa found the QB1 job
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: abandoned on the side of the road like a crusty
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: old urine-stained mattress because Michael Penix Jr. could not answer
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the bell. So how wonderfully Falcons is this? You had
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a quarterback competition yesterday. there in the humidity of Georgia,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: where one contestant couldn't compete. So Tua, at this point,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: until proven otherwise, is like a washed-up boxer getting a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: last-minute shot at a Vegas undercard fight. And if he
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: wins the undercard fight, he gets another undercard fight. And
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they paid pretty much peanuts for Tungabailoa there. Miami swallowed
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: about $ 100 million in dead money to make Tua go away.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And now he has the keys to the nest by default.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And we saw in the preseason, not that those numbers
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: really matter all that much, but he was about as
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: soft as a peach cobbler, a fresh peach cobbler, and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: struggling to push the ball downfield, which was a problem
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: at times in Miami, and just messy. Bedraggled is the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: word I will use, bedraggled for For Tua Tungvaluwa. So
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Stefanski essentially gave him what amounts to a one-week hall pass.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So beating Pittsburgh isn't enough. Tua needs to flash the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: full QB1 repertoire and the skill set and all that stuff.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: So in the NFL, availability in this case beats ability.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Tua's only real qualification is he's done it. And even
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: though he's had his own demons with concussions and all that,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: he actually is able to play. He's got the pulse.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And Michael Penix Jr. has a doctor's note. He's not playing.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Final thought. We go to the transaction wire where the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: New York football giant said bye-bye to wide receiver Darius Slayton. Yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: just days before their season opener against the Cowboys. He
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: was the team's longest tenured player. Been with the team
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: since 2019, spent seven seasons with the franchise as a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: fifth-round pick. Now he has been kicked out of the Giants'
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: locker room. So the question, what led the Giants to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: dump longtime wide receiver Darius Slayton? So this is a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: case where John Harbaugh needed to flex something. Like, this
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: is a flex move by John Harbaugh there at the Giants' facility.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Darius Slayton spent All that time in Big Blue's universe.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Seven years. That sounds pretty impressive, seven years, until you
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: remember that those seven years were spent aboard the Hindenburg
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: with helmet on and the chin strap and all that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So Slayton survived. Pat Shermer, Joe Judge, Brian Dayball survived.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And essentially, he had become the football equivalent of like
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: an old Howard Johnson motel swimming pool, which technically still there,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: but management would really prefer nobody uses it because the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: diving board's not all that safe. And he had all
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: these years of equity, Slayton did with the Giants, but...
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh came in there and he's like, oh, wait a minute.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I don't value that. That has about as much value
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: as a couple of expired coupons from Bed Bath & Beyond.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So after outlasting those three coaching hires, John Harbaugh finally
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: walked in and he took a look at Darius Slayton
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and treated him like the last container of potato salad
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: at a Labor Day cookout. And there were flies on
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it and just right into the trash. Right into the trash.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: All right, so now that that's happened, let's go to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the prediction market. And the question here is, where does
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Darius Slayton land now that he has been decommissioned by
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the Giants? And as a distant relative of Nostradamus and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: friend of Nostradinus, who lives in the Seattle area, his
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: roommate is currently Sasquatch. So the question here, as we
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: gaze into the crystal ball and we answer the question
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: of what's going on with him, where does the Darius
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Slayton future hold as he's been let go by the Giants?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So I see horseshoes, flight plans, muskets, and arrowheads. I've
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: got the Colts, the Jets, the Patriots, and the Chiefs.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: He'll end up with one of those four teams, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm never wrong about this– Let's not pretend that Darius
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Slayton is some kind of prized free agent truffle that's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: being fought over by the champagne and caviar crowd. I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: don't buy that. He's 29, I believe, coming off surgery.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: His production has been falling down, down, down, down, down
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: like an elevator. It's going down an elevator shaft in
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a radio flyer wagon, just like that. So at 29,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: coming off surgery. injury. Slayton is not working for Pixar.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: His career at this point is suspended animation. The Colts,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: there's a connection there with Daniel Jones. Good luck on
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that continuing to be successful for the Colts. They know
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: each other, so it's not what you know, it's who
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know. The Jets offer geographical convenience. New England could
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: use someone else in the wide receiver room who's got
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: some cachet to their name and kansas city just continues
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to lack playmakers not that darius slayton at this point
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: is a playmaker but they just they don't have much
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: there they they made a few moves but nothing really
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: all that sexy so kansas city could turn somebody they
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: found behind a walmart into a third down weapon and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that's really what they need so slayton isn't shopping for
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a starting role. He's, at this point, a supporting actor
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: wandering around the NFL unemployment carnival. Everyone's unemployed here. They're
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: trying to get a job. And you're like, well, what's
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: going on with that? And hoping somebody still has a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: ticket to the Tilt-A-Whirl at the employment carnival, trying to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: find a job. I need a job. This job is
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: not that easy. That's it. Man alive. All right, here's

• 19:32
  Speaker 1: He took credit for inventing the blank, which is still
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: used on every single sports telecast to this day. And

• 21:46

• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and the 80s. He took credit for inventing blank, which
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: is still used on every sports broadcast that I've ever
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: watched to this day. This thing that he came up with,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: his little baby. And it's very popular today. Femi, the

  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do a whole episode of the Fifth Hour
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Wait, wait, what would you call that?
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: Matt Maller, fun fact.

• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Icky Shuffle from JT, the wingman. Fat Daddy said the visible, invisible,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: first down marker is the answer. All right. I think
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: that's enough there. All right. What's the answer? Lorena, again,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the riddle. Andy Sedaris, longtime ABC Sports director for Monday
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Night Football in the 70s and the 80s, took credit
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: for inventing blank. The blank, which is still used today
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: on pretty much every sports broadcast.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I was thinking the Telestrator.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: The Telestrator. Is that correct? Survey says?
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: No.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Andy Sedaris, longtime ABC Sports director. Monday Night Football, 70s
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and 80s. He took credit for inventing the honey shot.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: You know what the honey shot is, Lorena?
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: No, but it sounds delicious.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Well, that is when you're watching a football game and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: for no reason they put a really hot chick on TV.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, are you kidding me?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: My initial answer was going to be busty women in
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: the stands.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Well, that would have been correct. You would have got
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: it right. So this guy, Andy Sedaris, they made a
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: documentary back in the 70s about him.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Wow, I was right. I have it written.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to send you my notes. He was the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: guy during ABC Sports, like Monday night, he would instruct
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the camera guys to find the hottest chicks, like the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: cheerleaders or the hot women in the crowd, and then
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the hottest ones would end up on television. And that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: became known as the Honey Shot. Now, he was also
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: part of it. He was not the guy that came
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: up with split-screen views or slow-motion replay. He helped on
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that stuff, instant replay. But his claim to fame, Andy Sedaris,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: who's dead. He's been dead for a while. But he
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: came up with the Honey Shot. which there have been
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: women that have become famous because they get on TV.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Remember at the World Cup, we talked about how there
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: were some supposedly side deals I read where some influencer-type
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: women had side deals with agencies to get on the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: World Cup broadcast just so they would go viral and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: become more powerful in that world. So pretty crazy. Anyway,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: there you go. That's my.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: I would have been right, just so you know.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I just want to clarify that. Could have, should have.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the calls here. My board is being reset.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Now the board has been reset.
