- 0:31Speaker 1: football and head to the NFL Supplemental Draft. Also, how
- 0:34Speaker 1: does Brendan Sorosby stack up for those NFL scouts? Is

- 0:46Speaker 1: about that. Also, thumbs up or thumbs down on the

- 1:06Speaker 1: we'll talk about, Logan Web and more. Right now here
- 1:09Speaker 1: it is our number one running away, well kind of
- 1:15Speaker 1: forced to run away. Welcome in the beginning of another
- 1:21Speaker 1: night of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
- 1:25Speaker 1: air ev reware, fellow commoners, as we speak our mind
- 1:32Speaker 1: coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
- 1:36Speaker 1: vast and uproarously powerful microphones of FSR emminating live. Do
- 1:44Speaker 1: it live from the river, the atmospheric river of sports
- 1:50Speaker 1: takes not just Dady Sports takes piping hot sports takes
- 1:55Speaker 1: guaranteed human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
- 1:59Speaker 1: where Quinzel in Oakland reminds us that this hour is
- 2:04Speaker 1: made possible apart by our friends at ty Iraq. For
- 2:06Speaker 1: over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers like Mallard,
- 2:10Speaker 1: prop Guy, ferg Dog and Alf the Alien Opiner find
- 2:13Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive
- 2:17Speaker 1: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
- 2:22Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq
- 2:27Speaker 1: dot com. The way tire buying should be. So our
- 2:33Speaker 1: lead this our' change it up a little bit. A
- 2:35Speaker 1: story that has gotten a fair amount of traction or
- 2:38Speaker 1: the last ten days or so, and it has now
- 2:41Speaker 1: taken a dramatic plot twist. The rare and appropriate rare
- 2:46Speaker 1: and appropriate college football start, which is now an NFL story.
- 2:49Speaker 1: It involves gambling. It's got a little bit of everything.
- 2:53Speaker 1: So we're gonna start out in Big twelve country in Lubbock, Texas,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and that is where we will begin as we have
- 3:00Speaker 1: an update on the gambling man of college football.
- 3:04Speaker 2: No more.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Brendan Soorsby, the quarterback who's bounced around like a pinball
- 3:10Speaker 1: from one side of the machine to another. The highly
- 3:14Speaker 1: regarded by some, highly regarded by some, quarterback Brendan Sowsby,
- 3:20Speaker 1: who's six y three to two hundred and thirty five pounds.
- 3:22Speaker 1: He's a dual threat quarterback. He was at Cincinnati. He's
- 3:26Speaker 1: trying to play football at Texas Tech. Previously at Indiana.
- 3:32Speaker 1: So with Indiana Cincinnati now he was transferring to Texas
- 3:35Speaker 1: Tech in the portal to get some of that sweet
- 3:39Speaker 1: nil money. Chi ching, Chi ching, chi ching. Gotta get
- 3:43Speaker 1: that nil money, nice financial package to go to Lubbock, Texas. However,
- 3:48Speaker 1: he did admit, as you may or may not know,
- 3:50Speaker 1: he did admit if you didn't see this, I don't
- 3:52Speaker 1: know how you could have missed it. He admitted that
- 3:53Speaker 1: he he enjoyed gambling a lot of gambling, which not
- 3:59Speaker 1: a problem if you're not betting on your own team
- 4:03Speaker 1: and against your team, and though anyway, but at least
- 4:06Speaker 1: ninety grand, at least ninety grand nine thousand plus bets,
- 4:11Speaker 1: including on his own teams games, which is a violation
- 4:14Speaker 1: of every single by law that they have. If you
- 4:20Speaker 1: believe in rules the NCAAA roadbook, it violates just about
- 4:25Speaker 1: just about everything. And so he got caught and then
- 4:28Speaker 1: entered into a gambler's rehab program for his gambling addiction
- 4:35Speaker 1: and was ruled permanently ineligible of the NCAA. So that's it,
- 4:40Speaker 1: IX nay on the football A. You're done. However, a
- 4:44Speaker 1: Lubbock County judge recently granted the player a temporary injunction
- 4:51Speaker 1: which was going to allow him to play football in
- 4:54Speaker 1: the upcoming college football season with a self suggested two
- 4:59Speaker 1: games suspended for nine thousand bets on sports and whatever.
- 5:04Speaker 1: So two game suspension, of course, that sparked outrage. Alley
- 5:10Speaker 1: oh Man, the band was going nuts here, major backlash.
- 5:16Speaker 1: And and now the lawyers got involved, the Big twelve
- 5:19Speaker 1: pushing back. Push it back, now, push it back, and
- 5:22Speaker 1: they push back with their lawyers. So if you've not
- 5:25Speaker 1: heard the latest on this. We have a major plot twist,
- 5:28Speaker 1: and perhaps you have not been paying attention here, but
- 5:30Speaker 1: we learned now the gambling quarterback Brendan Soresby is gonzo.
- 5:36Speaker 1: He's gone see you later. He's leaving Texas Tech before
- 5:41Speaker 1: playing a single game for the Red Raiders and is
- 5:44Speaker 1: going to attempt to take his talents to the NFL's
- 5:48Speaker 1: Supplemental Draft. He's trying to go to the supplemental Draft now.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Soresby made his decision hours hours after the Big twelve
- 5:59Speaker 1: legal gade came in and then the lawyers came in
- 6:03Speaker 1: from the Big twelve and they filed the paperwork to
- 6:06Speaker 1: enforce sanctions against Texas Tech if they dared play this guy.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And it's like, you're in trouble. You can't play this guy.
- 6:15Speaker 1: That's it. And so this is now getting cranked up
- 6:19Speaker 1: to a higher rung of the legal system, and that
- 6:24Speaker 1: means Soresby has decided I'm out. He had until June
- 6:28Speaker 1: twenty second, as it's our sixteenth. June sixteenth, the fifteenth
- 6:35Speaker 1: in the West, but June twenty second is the deadline
- 6:38Speaker 1: to declare for the Supplemental Draft, which will end his
- 6:42Speaker 1: college eligibility. And that's it, all right. So that is
- 6:46Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question,
- 6:50Speaker 1: all right, here's the question. Why why is Brendan Soresby
- 6:54Speaker 1: throwing in the sponge on playing at Texas Tech and
- 6:58Speaker 1: the nil deal and all that and heading off to
- 7:01Speaker 1: the NFL's supplemental draft, which is not a guarantee by
- 7:05Speaker 1: any means. It's not a guarantee. So my thoughts on this,
- 7:08Speaker 1: I have reading Rainbow Dairy Queen and Sotherby's and we
- 7:14Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we were
- 7:17Speaker 1: gonna make some chimmy chungas is what we're gonna make,
- 7:19Speaker 1: all right. So a Brendan Soresby deciding to throw it
- 7:24Speaker 1: in the towel, the sponge, whatever metaphor you want to
- 7:27Speaker 1: use here on Texas Tech and heading off to the
- 7:30Speaker 1: supplemental draft. The reason why is because he looked. He
- 7:35Speaker 1: looked at the scorecard. He had a peek at the
- 7:37Speaker 1: scorecard here and the judge's scorecards. He saw them early.
- 7:41Speaker 1: And it's kind of like a boxer that said, well,
- 7:43Speaker 1: I you give no chance to win. The only chance
- 7:45Speaker 1: you have is a knockout, and that's probably not gonna happen,
- 7:48Speaker 1: so Soresby, he didn't just leave. He read the room.
- 7:52Speaker 1: It appears he has read the room here and realized
- 7:55Speaker 1: that if you look around the room from the left
- 7:59Speaker 1: and you go over to the right, and you look
- 8:00Speaker 1: all over the room there, and you realize, well, wait
- 8:04Speaker 1: a minute, here, there's a no vacancy sign, there's no room.
- 8:10Speaker 1: There's no room for me here. And ninety thousand dollars
- 8:14Speaker 1: roughly in gambling that this guy pulled off, and he
- 8:18Speaker 1: dragged that scandal into Lubbock, and without even playing a game.
- 8:22Speaker 1: The people that run that university, you talk about loyalty,
- 8:26Speaker 1: blind loyalty to a guy who had hiven done anything
- 8:28Speaker 1: for your university on the football field. And the big
- 8:31Speaker 1: shots there, the big movers and shakers in Lubbock, they
- 8:34Speaker 1: were all behind this guy. And then I would assume
- 8:37Speaker 1: he met with his legal team or the lawyers for
- 8:40Speaker 1: Texas Tech, and they said, son, the Big twelve is
- 8:44Speaker 1: about to body slam you and give you the atomic
- 8:46Speaker 1: elbow in federal court. So pack your bag and run
- 8:51Speaker 1: off to the NFL and cut your losses and so
- 8:54Speaker 1: face with a massive suspension. He followed the reading rainbow.
- 9:00Speaker 1: The reading rainbow and straight out of town, hoping to
- 9:04Speaker 1: find a pot of gold in the NFL. Good luck,
- 9:08Speaker 1: And there you go. It's all in the book. It's
- 9:11Speaker 1: all in. There'll be a book, there'll be a Netflix
- 9:14Speaker 1: docu series on this, it's all it's all going to happen.
- 9:18Speaker 1: So Soresby Brandon Soorsby, the quarterback, now choosing the fire
- 9:21Speaker 1: escape the front door. He would have liked to have
- 9:24Speaker 1: gone out the front door. The front door, though, has
- 9:27Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three locks on it, a
- 9:29Speaker 1: dead bolt, and a big twelve lawyer is standing right
- 9:33Speaker 1: behind it with crossed arms and a surly look, ready
- 9:38Speaker 1: to forfeit Texas Tech season. So that's a problem. Now,
- 9:42Speaker 1: he bailed the faster than a waiter who who knows
- 9:47Speaker 1: you never going to a restaurant and not, of course
- 9:50Speaker 1: I would have been part of this, but you know,
- 9:51Speaker 1: to a restaurant sometimes the waiter kind of knows that
- 9:54Speaker 1: this group's not gonna tip, and suddenly the service starts
- 9:57Speaker 1: getting worse and worse because you realize that these people
- 9:59Speaker 1: are gonna tip their a holes and uh, that's it.
- 10:02Speaker 1: And so that's kind of where we are now turning
- 10:04Speaker 1: the page, but not far all right, page two. Here,
- 10:07Speaker 1: the other part of this story is the draft. We've
- 10:12Speaker 1: already had beat NFL draft. It was in late April.
- 10:15Speaker 1: But now the question is, how does Brendan Soorsby, the
- 10:19Speaker 1: former Indiana Cincinnati and do I even say Texas Tech quarterback?
- 10:23Speaker 1: He didn't play for Texas Tech, the former college quarterback,
- 10:26Speaker 1: Brendan Sorosby, how does he stack up for NFL scouts?
- 10:32Speaker 1: And so you look at this, This is the Q word,
- 10:35Speaker 1: capitol Q quagmire. This is an absolute quagmire on paper
- 10:40Speaker 1: or on a tablet. If you look at the Dairy
- 10:43Speaker 1: Queen menu and you say, well, okay, what's on the menu?
- 10:47Speaker 1: That's he's a bowl of Rocky Road. Brendan Soresby looks great. However,
- 10:52Speaker 1: every spoonful comes with something you didn't expect. Is that
- 10:56Speaker 1: a marshmallow? Is that some kind of walnut? I don't
- 10:58Speaker 1: know what that is. I have no idea. So he's
- 11:01Speaker 1: got that sturdy frame that the NFL scouts druel about
- 11:05Speaker 1: and they get all horny for and their quarterbacks out
- 11:08Speaker 1: of central casting. And he can't absorb contact, so that's
- 11:12Speaker 1: a positive. And he's got mobility, and so the size
- 11:15Speaker 1: and mobility of the arm talent. It's not the most
- 11:17Speaker 1: accurate quarterback in the world. And yet I would argue
- 11:21Speaker 1: the NFL looking at the supplemental draft, the NFL does
- 11:24Speaker 1: not see a quarterback. They see a scarlet letter G
- 11:30Speaker 1: stitched on the jersey. That is a warning label. Avoid
- 11:34Speaker 1: the scarlet letter right there. So the raw talent would say,
- 11:37Speaker 1: this guy's a high draft pick and should be taken
- 11:40Speaker 1: in the supplemental draft, relatively high. And that's it. And
- 11:46Speaker 1: the gambling problem leads you to believe. Don't even think
- 11:51Speaker 1: about it, right, So it's like it's on one side,
- 11:54Speaker 1: the talent trumps everything. On the other side, there's a
- 11:57Speaker 1: lot of stank. There's a lot of stank around this
- 12:00Speaker 1: guy because of the gambling stuff. And that's tabboo. You
- 12:03Speaker 1: can't go down that road because if you're playing quarterback,
- 12:07Speaker 1: you get drafted by the Jets or someone like that,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and you start all of a sudden sucking at a
- 12:13Speaker 1: time you can't suck. Instead of just saying you're playing
- 12:16Speaker 1: bad football, people are saying, wait a minute, is this
- 12:18Speaker 1: a mob special? Is this guy throwing the game because
- 12:21Speaker 1: he's trying to pay off some gambling debts that he
- 12:24Speaker 1: has And that's gonna shadow Brendan sorosby the rest of
- 12:28Speaker 1: his athletic career. And the NFL has to prove. Of course,
- 12:32Speaker 1: this other thing that we have to deal with. The
- 12:35Speaker 1: NFL has to first approved. Brendan Soarzi has to prove
- 12:39Speaker 1: for the NFL, and the NFL has to approve his
- 12:41Speaker 1: case for the supplemental Draft. And the last quarterback taken
- 12:46Speaker 1: in the supplement draft. You got to go back to
- 12:49Speaker 1: twenty eleven. I was barely alive in twenty eleven. There
- 12:52Speaker 1: was a guy named Terrelle Pryor who was taken in
- 12:55Speaker 1: the twenty eleven Supplemental Draft in the third round. So
- 12:59Speaker 1: it's been fifteen years my computer, like brain tells me
- 13:03Speaker 1: since we've had a quarterback drafted in that situation. And
- 13:08Speaker 1: so you know, ultimately NFL teams, each NFL team is
- 13:12Speaker 1: going to have to look at this and say, well,
- 13:14Speaker 1: what is this? And it's like, well, it's art. It's
- 13:16Speaker 1: like a mid round piece of art. Mid round piece
- 13:20Speaker 1: of art. It's interesting, But where do we put it.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I don't know where to put it, and they just
- 13:27Speaker 1: don't They just don't love I guess the way I
- 13:30Speaker 1: would say it is explaining to the commissioner. Having to
- 13:33Speaker 1: explain to the commissioner why they drafted a guy who's
- 13:36Speaker 1: on the knotty list. That's the issue, right, I said, Well,
- 13:39Speaker 1: we can stash him, have them developed for a couple
- 13:43Speaker 1: of years and forget about it. We take them the
- 13:45Speaker 1: sixth round or whatever, or the or the fifth round,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and then that's it. So it's a complicated investment, is
- 13:51Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. It's a complicated investment. And
- 13:54Speaker 1: we expect the litigation machine to crank up if Soresby
- 13:59Speaker 1: is not and there is no guarantee that he has
- 14:01Speaker 1: picked in the supplemental draft. This has Canadian Football League
- 14:04Speaker 1: written all over it. In one of those other fugazy
- 14:07Speaker 1: leagues that no one watches that are like, who's that team?
- 14:11Speaker 1: I don't know who they are? What is that? Why
- 14:12Speaker 1: is that on TV? I don't get it? All right? Now,
- 14:15Speaker 1: last word, we go to baseball, that's right, talking baseball.
- 14:20Speaker 1: San Francisco, Major League Baseball, twib notes around the majors,
- 14:26Speaker 1: all right, So playing miserable baseball, and boy, you hate
- 14:29Speaker 1: to see it, don't you. The once proud San Francisco
- 14:32Speaker 1: Giants are closer to the worst record in all of
- 14:35Speaker 1: professional baseball than they are sniffing a playoff spot in
- 14:40Speaker 1: the National League. And we are now told the Giants
- 14:43Speaker 1: are preparing to go to auction. They are preparing to
- 14:48Speaker 1: sell off. Just about anyone on the roster can be
- 14:52Speaker 1: yours and the price does not have to be right now,
- 14:56Speaker 1: Buster Posey, who was a good catcher, not a very
- 15:00Speaker 1: good executive. It would appear based on the early returns.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Buster Posey the president of Baseball Ops because the term
- 15:08Speaker 1: general manager was below these guys, so they had to
- 15:10Speaker 1: come up with Baseball Ops and all that. So anyway, listen,
- 15:13Speaker 1: here's the deal. Buster Posey is multiple reports saying testing
- 15:18Speaker 1: the waters on a massive, massive door buster sale at
- 15:24Speaker 1: the August third trade deadline, which will be here before
- 15:28Speaker 1: you know it. Now. The only player, the only one
- 15:31Speaker 1: who cannot be yours, allegedly is Logan Web, the starting pitcher,
- 15:36Speaker 1: Logan Web. Oh what a web we weave. And so
- 15:40Speaker 1: the Giants supposed to have zero plans to part with
- 15:43Speaker 1: their ace right handed starter, Logan Web. So question, let's
- 15:47Speaker 1: focus in on that at first. So the question on
- 15:49Speaker 1: this is are you gonna go thumbs up or thumbs down?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down on the Giant starter Logan
- 15:57Speaker 1: Web being untouchable touch a bawl on the trading block
- 16:02Speaker 1: for the Giants. So I am going to go thumbs
- 16:04Speaker 1: down on this. I'm going one thumbs down on this.
- 16:08Speaker 1: The idea that Logan Web is somehow untouchable is comedic.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Clinging on to Webb, who is a good starting pitcher,
- 16:18Speaker 1: is like hoarding a single can of chicken noodle soup
- 16:22Speaker 1: during a famine, Like, what are you doing? Congratulations, you
- 16:27Speaker 1: got the thing of chicken noodle soup. You're still going
- 16:29Speaker 1: to starve. So I just wait an extra day and
- 16:32Speaker 1: then its lights out, game over, and we understand he's
- 16:36Speaker 1: he's the hometown guy, as a northern California guy and
- 16:38Speaker 1: all that. By the time, though I've done the math
- 16:40Speaker 1: on this, by the time the Giants are good, like
- 16:43Speaker 1: legit good again, Brandon Webb will be throwing slop at
- 16:48Speaker 1: eighty eight miles per hour. Talking about veteran leadership is
- 16:53Speaker 1: what we'll be talking about. And I'll have one good
- 16:56Speaker 1: start every ten starts. That's what happens. And this team
- 16:59Speaker 1: is so far from contending. How far are they? They're
- 17:03Speaker 1: so far? Thanks for asking, They're so far from contending
- 17:07Speaker 1: that his next meaningful start, Brandon Webb will be in
- 17:12Speaker 1: an old timers game or possibly the Cactus Lee because
- 17:14Speaker 1: those do matter. You have a chance to win the
- 17:16Speaker 1: Cactus League every year. It's like the last working appliance
- 17:21Speaker 1: in a house that's already been condemned. What are you
- 17:23Speaker 1: doing here? He's twenty nine, he's durable, all that stuff.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Good starting pitcher. As we said, he is under contract
- 17:30Speaker 1: for a few more years, which makes him highly attractive
- 17:33Speaker 1: to teams like the Yankees and other contenders who are
- 17:37Speaker 1: trying to add more pitching. And the idea that anyone
- 17:40Speaker 1: would be unavailable is just ridiculous, especially when you think
- 17:43Speaker 1: about the recent history of sports. The Cleveland Browns just
- 17:46Speaker 1: added Hall of Fame in his prime defensive stud Miles Gear.
- 17:50Speaker 1: They traded him Cleveland Browns to the Ala Rams. The
- 17:52Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks gave away Luka Doncic to the Lakers. And
- 17:56Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that Logan Webb is somehow unaff available.
- 18:00Speaker 1: You cannot get your hands on Logan web or the Giants.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Come on, please stop pretending anyone on that rotten roster
- 18:08Speaker 1: with the Giants is untouchable. And besides, Buster Posey's currently
- 18:11Speaker 1: running and everything must go add online. It's a Southeby's
- 18:16Speaker 1: style auction, so it's a silent auction at this point.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Rafael Devers, yes that Rafael Devers, Willie Adamis, Matt Chapman,
- 18:26Speaker 1: Luis a Rise, Robbie Ray. They can all be yours
- 18:30Speaker 1: if the price is right. And if you're auctioning off
- 18:34Speaker 1: underperforming contracts and bad attitudes, and that's mostly Rafael Devers, right,
- 18:41Speaker 1: why would you keep Web around again? I keep going
- 18:44Speaker 1: back to this, like, what are you trying to recreate
- 18:46Speaker 1: what you had back in the day a candlestick with
- 18:48Speaker 1: the crazy crab mascot. You can have Buster Buster Posey
- 18:53Speaker 1: say hey Brandon when you're not pitching, or you just
- 18:57Speaker 1: go out there and and logan the logan Web go
- 19:00Speaker 1: out there and wear the crazy crab outfit. Just do
- 19:04Speaker 1: that now, the Devers part of it. I love that
- 19:06Speaker 1: Rafael Dever's name is yet again in trade deadlines that
- 19:10Speaker 1: he is up for auction. I find that hilarious. And
- 19:14Speaker 1: I hope and I know in the multiverses as possible
- 19:17Speaker 1: that the Red Sox reacquire Rafael Devers. That would be wonderful.
- 19:25Speaker 1: That would be so great shot in freude. If Boston
- 19:29Speaker 1: were to reacquire Rafael Devers, it would be the funniest
- 19:32Speaker 1: cell phone for the Red Sox since they donated Mookie
- 19:36Speaker 1: Bets to the Dodgers to jump start the Dodgers dynasty,
- 19:40Speaker 1: and that was a gift by the Boston Red Sox.
- 19:42Speaker 1: They got nothing, literally nothing in Reich. He just gave
- 19:44Speaker 1: Mookie bets to that. Now Mookey sucks now except light
- 19:47Speaker 1: hitting middle infielder. But he was good for several years
- 19:50Speaker 1: with the Dodgers and they won multiple World Series and
- 19:53Speaker 1: all that, and that was a gift by the Red Sox.
- 19:55Speaker 1: And it was kind of like if they reacquired Devs,
- 20:00Speaker 1: would be like returning a broken blender just to buy
- 20:04Speaker 1: the exact same model out of spite. That's what that
- 20:08Speaker 1: would be. And the funny is the Red soixe actually
- 20:11Speaker 1: got something of value in return. The problem is that
- 20:14Speaker 1: value is now pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers what they
- 20:17Speaker 1: got for Rafael Devers. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

- 21:07Speaker 1: There's something in the World Cup. A World Cup star
- 21:09Speaker 1: upset with the media. I say star loosely. But this
- 21:13Speaker 1: is an age old complaint which I always laugh at
- 21:16Speaker 1: when people athletes complain to the media about this. I'll
- 21:20Speaker 1: explain why this is hilarious. It's been going on for
- 21:23Speaker 1: at least my entire life. When I was in the
- 21:25Speaker 1: early days, when I was a radio stringer and I
- 21:27Speaker 1: was in locker rooms, guys would complain about this. It's
- 21:29Speaker 1: still going on at the World Cup. We'll explain what

- 23:20Speaker 1: at Ben Mallor, the first time drinking in seven years, Jila,
- 23:26Speaker 1: it was at the cask and flagging. We were back
- 23:28Speaker 1: at the cask and flagging. Uh, not that long ago
- 23:31Speaker 1: in Boston, right across from Finmway. That was our buddy
- 23:34Speaker 1: from Southee, Wayne from Southee who had sobriety for many
- 23:39Speaker 1: years and then decided at a at a Mallor meet
- 23:42Speaker 1: and greet to get hammered and then kept buying me
- 23:45Speaker 1: drinks the entire night. And I usually milk a drink.
- 23:48Speaker 1: I don't even drink that much, but he kept buying
- 23:50Speaker 1: me drinks. Did he get upset if I didn't finish
- 23:52Speaker 1: the drink? He was a pusher, he was, yeah, and
- 23:54Speaker 1: he was getting really annoyed with me. And then that
- 23:57Speaker 1: was the malor meet and greet that we all took off.
- 24:00Speaker 1: He took a group of listeners, including Blind Scott and
- 24:03Speaker 1: some other people. We just skate daddled out to get away.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Wayne went to the bathroom. Wayne from Southee. We took off.
- 24:08Speaker 1: We got away from him anyway, eight seven, seven ninety
- 24:11Speaker 1: nine on Fox on ex at Ben Mahler. That's at
- 24:14Speaker 1: Ben Mahlor Lorena FSR Tech queen. And you can also
- 24:19Speaker 1: say he lo to coop at a Bronco fan. That's
- 24:23Speaker 1: a Bronco fan. Your comments can and will be used
- 24:25Speaker 1: against you in the court of sports ratings, so please
- 24:28Speaker 1: act accordingly. All right, not a burner?
- 24:31Speaker 3: Right?
- 24:31Speaker 1: Sinceys, the Cardinals should draft Brendan Soresby and start him
- 24:35Speaker 1: week one. Jacoby Brissett is disgruntled over his contract, and
- 24:40Speaker 1: what better way to suck more than the Dolphins and
- 24:43Speaker 1: Jets for the number one pick. Well, we'll be hilarious
- 24:47Speaker 1: of the Cardinals, who are projected to be the team
- 24:50Speaker 1: with the worst record in the NFL. It's a tie
- 24:52Speaker 1: between well, actually, the Cardinals and Dolphins are tied, with
- 24:55Speaker 1: the Jets one game behind based on the gambling market
- 24:58Speaker 1: for the worst record in the NFL. Be hilarious of
- 25:02Speaker 1: the card said we're gonna use our first round pick,
- 25:04Speaker 1: which means you have to give up your first round
- 25:05Speaker 1: pick next year to draft Brendan Soresby. That would be great,
- 25:10Speaker 1: That would be great. Alex the Cynical says that Judge
- 25:13Speaker 1: has to be a booster to Texas Tech. The quarterback
- 25:17Speaker 1: will be on the practice squad in two years. Well, yeah,
- 25:19Speaker 1: I think they determined that. I believe they did. The
- 25:22Speaker 1: Baltimore Free Loader account says we need more World Cup monologues,
- 25:26Speaker 1: more World Cup draws, more World Cup reads. Do you
- 25:30Speaker 1: think they take care of the media at the World
- 25:33Speaker 1: Cup with an international buffet. I don't think they take
- 25:38Speaker 1: care of the media that well at the World Cup.
- 25:40Speaker 1: I did see photos from the press box at SOFI
- 25:44Speaker 1: and they covered up the container of tomato tomatoes and
- 25:48Speaker 1: the mayo and the catchup and the mustard. They put
- 25:51Speaker 1: labels because they were not official World Cup sponsors. So
- 25:54Speaker 1: imagine being the guy that works for FIFA that has
- 25:57Speaker 1: to go around and you're the tape guy. You have
- 25:59Speaker 1: to over every logo. Mind you, this is not on TV,
- 26:03Speaker 1: this is just in the back where the people are
- 26:05Speaker 1: eating and they have to cover up. You can't have
- 26:08Speaker 1: the Heinz ketchup bottle. Well, you can't have a heins
- 26:11Speaker 1: ketchy It's just yeah, it's just you know, it's just ketchup.
- 26:13Speaker 1: That's all. That's all. Now you wanted Baltimore Freeloader wanted
- 26:16Speaker 1: more reads, Well how about this upgrade your FIFA World
- 26:19Speaker 1: Cup twenty twenty six set up. Build it like Beckham
- 26:23Speaker 1: from living room to lawn with the home Depot and
- 26:26Speaker 1: take the fast free delivery Assist the Home Depot Official
- 26:29Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six Supporter, subject to availability.
- 26:35Speaker 1: And the story everyone yapping about at the World Cup
- 26:39Speaker 1: the Spaniards not feeling so good. Now, it's very odd
- 26:44Speaker 1: to me as someone that not I follow soccer every
- 26:47Speaker 1: four years for the World Cup, so it's not like
- 26:49Speaker 1: I pay attention to it. Other than that, as we
- 26:52Speaker 1: pointed out, our overnight show gets more engagement than the
- 26:55Speaker 1: MLS gets viewers on their TV games, so we're bigger
- 26:59Speaker 1: than them MLS. But anyway, Spain and Cape Verde, which
- 27:03Speaker 1: is an island nation off of Africa ten islands, and
- 27:10Speaker 1: they tied Spain, and this is like a really big deal,
- 27:15Speaker 1: like they're goaltenders forty years old. It's like, right, I
- 27:19Speaker 1: want to actually talk about it. I was fascinated by
- 27:21Speaker 1: this story because it's right out of old movie when
- 27:24Speaker 1: they used to make good movies in Hollywood. Now they
- 27:26Speaker 1: just make the same superhero movies and then every once
- 27:28Speaker 1: in a while to make something else, which is kind
- 27:30Speaker 1: of a spin off of a superhero movie. But the
- 27:32Speaker 1: original ideas have really left Hollywood, and that's part of
- 27:34Speaker 1: the reasons that it's not doing so well. But anyway,
- 27:36Speaker 1: this is like an old sports storyline, this Cape Verde
- 27:40Speaker 1: and what they were able to do. So I will
- 27:42Speaker 1: be yapping. I'd like to alert all the affiliates down
- 27:44Speaker 1: the line. We will be yapping about that at some
- 27:47Speaker 1: point here. Now, Bozo the District Attorney rights and says
- 27:50Speaker 1: Soresby should play in the UFL for the Houston Gamblers.
- 27:54Speaker 1: Imagine the endorsement opportunities be absolutely outstanding. An idea. That's
- 28:01Speaker 1: a great idea. Yeah, you get some of the sports
- 28:04Speaker 1: books to sponsor him. Ferg Dog writes in from that
- 28:07Speaker 1: winter wonderland of Fullerton, I think I think seven inches
- 28:10Speaker 1: of snow and Fullerton over the weekend I hope he's okay.
- 28:13Speaker 1: I don't know if he has a snowplow out or not.
- 28:15Speaker 1: He says, I'd like to give a special shout out
- 28:17Speaker 1: to Coop's native country, Salsa Verde nil nil. Tie was Spain.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Mighty impressive. You should be proud, Coop. So oh did
- 28:27Speaker 1: you get salsa Verde in here? Did you have Coop gow? Wow?
- 28:30Speaker 1: It's big, big. The thing I was getting at though,
- 28:34Speaker 1: is very odd that you can have a tie. And
- 28:35Speaker 1: this is like a big deal because I was always
- 28:38Speaker 1: thought raised like that's not a good thing. That if
- 28:40Speaker 1: you tie, that's not particularly great. You've done something necessarily wrong.
- 28:46Speaker 1: And Alf the Alien Opiner writes and says, keep the
- 28:50Speaker 1: Red Sox name out of your mouth. What did I
- 28:55Speaker 1: do to you? Says Alf h interesting, Yeah, I did
- 29:01Speaker 1: get some reaction. One of my buddies, big TV guy.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I will not say his name because I don't want
- 29:06Speaker 1: to even in trouble. He might get in trouble if
- 29:07Speaker 1: he find people find out. I actually listened to the
- 29:08Speaker 1: show and he was chuckling at the idea of the
- 29:11Speaker 1: Red Sox reacquiring Rafael Devers and he's like that the
- 29:16Speaker 1: Red Sox stink and I was like, well, so does
- 29:18Speaker 1: Rafael Devers? So does so does he send him back
- 29:21Speaker 1: to Beantown? So that would be great, but the Red
- 29:25Speaker 1: Sox needs stars. Like the young guys aren't exactly lighting
- 29:27Speaker 1: the world on fire. It's not going that well. Let's
- 29:30Speaker 1: see Late Night Drug Tester says, looking forward to Soresby
- 29:35Speaker 1: on Netflix, you may want to do a couple more
- 29:38Speaker 1: monologues on him, so your sound bites can be used
- 29:41Speaker 1: like the Simone Biles documentary. Yes, that was That was
- 29:46Speaker 1: so hilarious for a couple of reasons. First of all,
- 29:49Speaker 1: the people at Netflix didn't ask for permission to use
- 29:51Speaker 1: the audio that of me ranting about Simone Biles. They
- 29:55Speaker 1: just put it in there. I had no idea what
- 29:57Speaker 1: was in there. And then I'm getting all these middle
- 29:59Speaker 1: AI women who are yelling at me on social media.
- 30:02Speaker 1: You don't know what you're talking about, Derry rip some
- 30:05Speaker 1: own Biles and so I don't know, Loraine on me,
- 30:09Speaker 1: you're on the show. But they did it. I'm exciting
- 30:11Speaker 1: for your female fan base though, no they're not. They
- 30:13Speaker 1: don't know that I am. These These are like, you know,
- 30:15Speaker 1: fifty year old women. They don't know anyway. They came
- 30:18Speaker 1: to you. They've tracked me down, you know, like you know,
- 30:21Speaker 1: what's the opposite of knights and shining armor, the female
- 30:24Speaker 1: equivalent of that. These women are running to defend some
- 30:26Speaker 1: old miles. And it was it was quite amusing there
- 30:31Speaker 1: when that when that happened, I do you recall it? Well, yeah,
- 30:33Speaker 1: feel free, I'll do it every day. I'll do a
- 30:36Speaker 1: monologue that we get in the documentary. Good promotion there
- 30:40Speaker 1: you go a lot of reaction to Salsa Verde for
- 30:43Speaker 1: Coop there nine oh four ray, Well, that's the power
- 30:45Speaker 1: of the NFL, the NFL World Cup. Pick them that
- 30:50Speaker 1: we did. People remember like I don't. I didn't remember that.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I kind of blocked that whole thing out. I moved on.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Is what I did from that? It's we have a
- 31:00Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox. By the way, is an
- 31:03Speaker 1: emper So I wanted to get this story from the
- 31:05Speaker 1: World Cup. Is it is all about the world. Much
- 31:08Speaker 1: of it is about the World Cup this hour and
- 31:10Speaker 1: so the summer happened post game and one of the
- 31:13Speaker 1: matches here at the World Cup that got my attention,
- 31:17Speaker 1: and it involves the team from Iran, Yes, the country
- 31:22Speaker 1: that we are. We were fighting with there, the latest
- 31:26Speaker 1: military thing and all that. So anyway, one of these stars, Now,
- 31:30Speaker 1: you could tell me anyone is a star on Iran
- 31:33Speaker 1: and I'd be okay. I don't know where these guys are,
- 31:36Speaker 1: never heard of these guys, So Medi Taremi, I believe
- 31:41Speaker 1: he is. Now, I'm sure I'm butchering that, and I apologize.
- 31:45Speaker 1: So he got upset post World Cup match. He got angry. Now,
- 31:50Speaker 1: the Iran team tied New Zealand two too. That's in
- 31:54Speaker 1: Group G. By the way, for those of you that
- 31:56Speaker 1: are excited for Group G, it's a bat job by
- 31:58Speaker 1: my friends from New Zealand. Come mom, man, you can't
- 32:00Speaker 1: beat the Iranian team. What's up with that? Anyway, So
- 32:04Speaker 1: this guy got upset. He snapped at the media post game.
- 32:08Speaker 1: He was very frustrated during the news conference because the
- 32:13Speaker 1: questions were not about football. They were about other stuff
- 32:19Speaker 1: like I don't know, bombs and things like that, and
- 32:23Speaker 1: he was annoyed by the line of questioning that was
- 32:28Speaker 1: going on. And so anyway, he addressed the situation directly.
- 32:34Speaker 1: He stepped into hermind reporters that they were this was
- 32:37Speaker 1: like his pre game against New Zealand. They were preparing
- 32:39Speaker 1: for their match and he was upset with the lack
- 32:42Speaker 1: of football questions. He said, since no one asked a
- 32:46Speaker 1: football question. We are playing against a good team from
- 32:50Speaker 1: New Zealand. I hope it's a very good game. Blah
- 32:51Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. This is always hilarious
- 32:54Speaker 1: to me because I remember back in the old days
- 32:56Speaker 1: when I was in locker rooms and yron guys and
- 32:58Speaker 1: they see, well, I just want to talk about the game. Well,
- 33:01Speaker 1: you can talk about the game all you want. Nobody
- 33:03Speaker 1: gets it. Nobody gets to decide. You can't decide, Hey,
- 33:07Speaker 1: this is what I'm gonna be talking about. And the
- 33:11Speaker 1: reporters asked the question, and then you can either answer
- 33:13Speaker 1: the question or not. But you don't get to like
- 33:15Speaker 1: send the questions out unless it's like state funded media,
- 33:19Speaker 1: which I guess they haven't Iran, so he's probably used
- 33:21Speaker 1: to that. I got some of the questions written down,
- 33:24Speaker 1: But we have that in American sports right MLB dot com,
- 33:27Speaker 1: NFL dot com, NBA dot com. That's state run media
- 33:31Speaker 1: for those leagues. But anyway, the the Iran thing, uh,
- 33:34Speaker 1: the player from Iran getting all upset and it's like
- 33:37Speaker 1: no different than basketball players and all that ranting and raving.
- 33:41Speaker 1: All right is the Ben mal show as we press
- 33:45Speaker 1: on here, Uh, Coop will be very happy that the
- 33:47Speaker 1: computer just reset as soon as he fixed the computer
- 33:50Speaker 1: issues that we're having it recip but they are broken. Well,
- 33:54Speaker 1: it's top technology. Let's go. Let's I think I remember?
- 33:58Speaker 1: Is it? Big Daddy? Did I punch the right line up?
- 34:00Speaker 1: Big Daddy is up first? There is in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis, Tennessee.
- 34:06Speaker 2: All my fans and all my castiicents. Hey, have you
- 34:09Speaker 2: heard about anything about Josh selling his house? Like somebody's
- 34:13Speaker 2: been to pick him up? That's what I've been hearing
- 34:15Speaker 2: in the buzz What.
- 34:16Speaker 1: You been here? Sir? Repeat dadd I didn't hear you
- 34:17Speaker 1: say it? One more time?
- 34:19Speaker 2: John Mortt has sold his house. Oh that's I've heard
- 34:23Speaker 2: down here.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Oh really, okay, Well that's always a dead giveaway. That's
- 34:28Speaker 1: a dead giveaway, man. Them When Tom Brady was with
- 34:31Speaker 1: the Patriots and there were debates, they were debating whether
- 34:33Speaker 1: he's going to go back to the Patriots, and he
- 34:35Speaker 1: sold his home in Boston. That's normally a sign you're
- 34:37Speaker 1: not planning on living in the city. When you sell
- 34:40Speaker 1: your home. Although these guys do have enough money, as
- 34:42Speaker 1: you know Big Daddy to buy another home rather quickly,
- 34:45Speaker 1: so it's not that big a deal. Did I see
- 34:47Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford like five or six homes in
- 34:50Speaker 1: LA and he's selling most of his homes in LA.
- 34:53Speaker 2: So he going.
- 34:57Speaker 1: He's going to play golf. He's going to play golf.
- 34:59Speaker 1: After this year, he's gonna retire. He's played one more
- 35:01Speaker 1: year and then run off and retire.
- 35:03Speaker 2: I thought they don't pay no more for that. Whoever
- 35:06Speaker 2: started giving them people money? I wish I could have
- 35:07Speaker 2: played golf and got played like that. Man.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Wouldn't you get bored after a while? Though?
- 35:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well back on this thing about
- 35:17Speaker 2: this seven footer. That was just ridiculous. Man, I ain't
- 35:19Speaker 2: never seen so much money. He ain't gonna take him
- 35:21Speaker 2: minutefore he win the championship. But you can't take a
- 35:24Speaker 2: man's hand.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Come on, man. But my bigger issue that was bad.
- 35:28Speaker 1: The bigger issue is don't don't suck at the end
- 35:31Speaker 1: of every game like that and make a game winning shot.
- 35:34Speaker 1: He played terribly, man. The final couple of all the
- 35:37Speaker 1: games were winnable. For saying Antoni. They didn't get blown
- 35:40Speaker 1: out in any of those games. In the final few minutes,
- 35:43Speaker 1: he sucked.
- 35:45Speaker 2: You up twenty nine. I'm not understanding this, man, You're
- 35:48Speaker 2: up twenty nine, you seven foot five. I got to
- 35:50Speaker 2: do gold and turn around. They going to gold right there.
- 35:53Speaker 2: But you're out here shooting three.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Well, you're up twenty nine with nine minutes to go
- 35:59Speaker 1: in the third quarter. It's not like it was like
- 36:00Speaker 1: the first the second quarter. Whatever.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Job. See, I can't work when you got someone away
- 36:05Speaker 2: talking your hero back in the background.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot going on. Man, you're very popular.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Yeah, we're working, baby, then, but we do down here.
- 36:14Speaker 2: We're gonna take us a nice break in a minute.
- 36:17Speaker 1: All right, all right, big Dad, thank you. There goes
- 36:21Speaker 1: big day. He's working at the grocery store. You don't, Gaddy,
- 36:24Speaker 1: You don't think that that can of delicious pea soup
- 36:28Speaker 1: ends up on the shelf by itself. There's somebody like
- 36:31Speaker 1: Big Daddy that has to put that can of peace
- 36:33Speaker 1: soup right up there on the shelf. That's how it works.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Ricardo from Boston rights and he says, I'm calling it now.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Remember I said it put your money on Portugal you're
- 36:44Speaker 1: twenty twenty six World Cup champs. So for Cardo, if
- 36:48Speaker 1: that happens, you'll bring this up and remind us, and
- 36:50Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen, we'll pretend it didn't happen. Is
- 36:53Speaker 1: that right? I think that's right. You didn't pick Ivory Coast,
- 36:58Speaker 1: the Ivory Kmabi I recoas they beat Ecuador. That doesn't
- 37:02Speaker 1: excite you know? You know? Do we need to look

- 37:18Speaker 1: the World Cup. So we have a solid month of
- 37:22Speaker 1: World Cup activity. Yeah, there's a lot going on here.
- 37:25Speaker 1: Where's the championship gaming New Jersey? I believe it was
- 37:29Speaker 1: gonna be in LA and then there was some issue
- 37:31Speaker 1: with the stadium field is not white enough or something
- 37:34Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, so it's in New Jersey. You
- 37:39Speaker 1: want to go to those say wide or white? I said, why,
- 37:42Speaker 1: but Coop, I might have heard might have heard white.
- 37:45Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know what that means.
- 37:49Speaker 1: But that's I like that reaction. I like that. That's solid,
- 37:55Speaker 1: not bad, not bad at all. Yes, uh okay, yeah,
- 37:59Speaker 1: I mean I I thought I said white. I don't know.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Maybe I said white. I don't white and white. Maybe
- 38:03Speaker 1: it sounds the same. I have no idea. Right is
- 38:05Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard Show as we press on time now
- 38:09Speaker 1: for the who Am I? Game? This is where we

- 38:13Speaker 1: who am I? Game? It's been over thirty years, but
- 38:15Speaker 1: I was the last player ever selected in the first
- 38:19Speaker 1: round of the NFL Supplemental Draft. Talked about Brendan Soil
- 38:24Speaker 1: will be likely to be you know, he's going to
- 38:25Speaker 1: try to be drafted in the NFL Supplemental Draft. But
- 38:28Speaker 1: it's been over thirty years. I was the last player
- 38:30Speaker 1: ever selected in the first round of the NFL Supplemental Draft.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Who Am I? The answer? We'll get to it. We'll
- 38:35Speaker 1: do it next.

- 39:17Speaker 1: for the payoff on the who Am I? Game? A
- 39:20Speaker 1: blatant attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer.
- 39:23Speaker 1: So we mentioned this because of Brendan Soresby, who is
- 39:26Speaker 1: entering the supplemental Draft. If he's allowed to be in
- 39:29Speaker 1: the supplemental Draft, there's no guarantee he gets picked. In fact,
- 39:31Speaker 1: there hasn't been anyone picked in the fifteen years I
- 39:35Speaker 1: believe it is. The supplemental Draft. Been a while. She
- 39:38Speaker 1: gotta go back even further. It's been over thirty years,
- 39:40Speaker 1: thirty years, a generation and a half. But I was
- 39:44Speaker 1: the last player ever selected in the first round of
- 39:48Speaker 1: the NFL's supplemental Draft. Who am I? Now? Remember? The
- 39:52Speaker 1: way the draft, the supplemental draft works is if a
- 39:55Speaker 1: team picks you in the first round, you give up
- 39:58Speaker 1: your first round pick the following year. So that's that's
- 40:02Speaker 1: the deal. What do we have here Milkman. Mike in
