  Speaker 2: I could do hours and hours, you know, saying well,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: let's go back and I have Lucky Tony. Go and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: look at the archive of monologues we did years ago
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: pointing out the suckage in the Valley of the Sun
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and all that. You don't know what you're talking about,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you doing the Overnight show. Okay, Well, Kyler Murray is
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: so bad.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: How bad is it?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: He's so bad that it appears he's going to get
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: his wish. Nobody wants to trade for him, so it
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: appears that he's just gonna be let go from number
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: one overall pick in the draft years ago to just
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: being fired. If you haven't been following here, months and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: months of chatter that Kyler Murray is gonna go play
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for some other team, and the drama O rama and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: all of that, and the chatter over the weekend, the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Cardinals are just going to release him. Just get out
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: of here, you suck so much, and take your little
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: video game system with you. Get out of here. That's it,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and the story bouncing around this is a state funded
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: NFL media over the weekend pointing out that this is
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: going to be the greatest year ever. If you like
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: suck quarterbacks, if you want to add a quarterback that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: cannot play at a high level, this is your year
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for pennies on the dollar. As Kyler a little fella,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Alliator Arms Murray, he will join to a tongue of
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: bay loa Gino Smith, Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, among others,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: possibly Aaron Rodgers who will be available on the market.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But let's start out with Alligator Arms Kyler Murray. What
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a bust this guy was? My God, does he suck?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And so that's good Joey off Boy. Let us discuss
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the question why did things not work out? And when
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I say not workout, I mean really not work out,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: really really not work out for Kyler Murray in Arizona.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: So my thoughts on this. I've got Lobster Boy, Jurassic Park,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and table read and we will combine all of these
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: things and we're going to make a large pizza, which
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: would have provided, by the way, more joy to the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Cardinal franchise if they just drafted a large pepperoni pizza
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that would have been more successful than what they ended
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: up with. Now, I've been seeing some things here that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: have been tossed out into the echo chamber since the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: news came out. The Cardinals are going to release Kyler
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Murray and many are saying, well, it's the Cardinals vault.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It's not hisld, it's the Cardinals. Wll oh my god,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: what we got hurt? Okay, I can't believe a fun
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: sized quarterback would get hurt. That never happens, right, Some
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I guess are blaming the moon cycle. We had a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: cosmic event the other day, so that might be why.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: We'll have to check with our astrology insider that that's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: why this is all going going sideways. But Kyler Murray,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how you wanna look at it. Kyler
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Murray stinks. It's a solid level of stink. It's not
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: an occasional stank. It's a lot of stink. That's the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: way it is. And when you're the number one pick
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: in the draft, when you're drafted at the very time,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the expectation is that you're going to be a Siberian Tiger,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and the Cardinals, for some reason thought this was a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Siberian tiger. Well, it turns out it was. It was
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a Ragdoll house cat. Rag Doll house cat is what
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it was. And first read, I guess Kyle was all right,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I guess, second read, a little bit of panic, a
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: little bit of panic. And then if you have to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: go to the third reid, he is now spinning around
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: like he's late for the airport and he can't figure
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: out which terminal he needs to go to, and there's issues.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So Kyler Murray entered the NFL a few years back,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and we knew right away this guy's a sideshow. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: want to play with baseball. He's like a baseball player.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I'll play football. Okay, draft me number one. Okay, we'll
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: take it number one overall and all that stuff. But
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it was always like a you look at him play
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if you've had the same, it's like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: well that something's wrong with my TV. That's like that
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: guy doesn't belong out there. What's up with that? It
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: was like audities watching Kyler Murray play. It's like a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: glitch on your television there, And really he belongs in
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the same category with Lobster Boy. The human cannonball and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: sword swallowers, just freaks of society and all that stuff.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You draft at the very top. Again, I keep going
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: back this, you draft at the very top of the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the NFL draft. You're expecting a Greek god. You're expecting
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a Greek god. Instead, you went down to Best Buy
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and you got the geek squad. Is what you got? Right,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Like one of those. Because Kyler's about the size of
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: somebody on the geek squad, I would think they could
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: be even bigger. They could be even bigger. And so
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: this is guy. In his NFL career with Arizona, he
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: has been a September hero and a December zero time
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and again, and then the cardinal career, which, if you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: believe state funded in NFL media, is now over. Kyler
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Murray will end up as a number one pick who
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: did not win a playoff game. He played in one
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: playoff game as a starter, and if you remember, he
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: sat on the bench. It was against the Rams in Inglewood,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and I happened to be at the game and he
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: was sitting there, dazed and confused on the side, like
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: what just happened? I mean, wow, bismal failure, abysmal failure,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and I will leave a line open for those that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: are listening in the greater Phoenix area, because I don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: think there's any Cardinal fans outside of the Greater Phoenix area.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I think they're all there in Phoenix, and I don't
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: think they exist anywhere else. So if you would like
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to call up and I will allow you to say, listen,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you were right, I was wrong. We will do that
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: at some point here. But my god, the signature moment.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You know what the signature moment of Kyler Murray's career
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: with the Arizona Cardinals is. Do you know what it is?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You don't. It's a bad job by you, bad football novelge.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray's signature moment in the NFL was not some
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: crazy touchdown pass. It wasn't a wild touchdown run by
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. No, no, no, no, no, no no. It
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: was a cause in his contract, the homework clause that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: this guy is such a dingleberry, he's such a jackwagon,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: this Kyler Murray. The Cardinals knew it. They said, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: got to put a homework clause in here. And when
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you're supposed franchise quarterback Kyler Murray is out there and
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you need an independent study. Reminder, that doesn't seem like
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: great leadership. What do I know, I just do the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Overnight Show. It doesn't seem like great leadership. That seems like, okay,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: we got to make sure this guy goes to detention
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: because he's not that good at studying. We need you
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: got an attention. And that's the kid who was at
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the Catholic school and Sister Mary had to come over
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: and hit him with a ruler, screaming his face. It's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: got a terrible body language. The whole thing's insane. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: even more insane is we know the guy can't play,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: We know he doesn't like football. He can't play, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: some other team's gonna add him that we can goof
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: on them. Meanwhile, So keeping the theme of the hour going,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: we mentioned that this is the offseason if you want
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to quarterbacks that cannot play at a discount. So do
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you have words? Here's the question, do you have words
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: for the available twenty twenty six NFL free agent class
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: of quarterbacks which at this point and subject to change,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: but at this point it's looking like Kyler Murray to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a tongue of by looa Geno Smith Justin Fields and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. It's the Dante's Inferno, is what this is.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So this is a quarterback room. If you put all
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: these guys together, Kyler Murray to a geno Smith, Justin
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Fields and Kirk Cousins. It is a basket of deplorables,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: is what it is. Right, my word, I use two words,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: handy downs. These are handy downs is what this is here.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And the quarterback big Board. If you were to look
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: at Benny not a list Terry and England, not a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: list Bennie's Big Board of quarterbacks. This is a literal stew,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a literal stew of broken dreams, players that never made it,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: some that had a little one hit wonder in them.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: So you're looking at a collection. You're pretty much staring
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: at a collection of garbage so dense that Waste Management
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: should be the title sponsor. Like the Quarterback Class of
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six and Free Agency presented by Waste Management.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Have a dump truck, drop these guys up. It's a
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: flea market and they talk about the players changing teams
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: as well. It's a flea market and all that. Well,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it's a flea market with Jurassic Park sized fleas, all right,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Jurassic Parks fleas is what it is. And again the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: has beens the never wors get together and they hang
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: out and bunch of dingle Berry's and that's how they
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: do it. And you got Gino Smith, who's a career
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: backup that failed in Seattle, failed with the Raiders as
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: a starter, and is someone dumb enough to give him
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: another opportunity. Justin Field should not be taking snaps in
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the NFL. He should be selling life insurance somewhere. Get
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: him a job doing that or real estate. Kirk Cousins,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: we've seen enough of him. He had to go become
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: some kind of TV person. Put makeup on. He can
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: pour us on CBS or NBC. They got rid of Dungee,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: so they need somebody to Boris. They can put Cousins
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: on there. You got Kyler Murray, who should go to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: his calling here, become an esports star and leave the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: NFL behind and take the joystick, put the duke down,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: take the joystick and knock yourself out of the park.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: The only one worth, the only one worth a second look.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And this is very liberal. Is to a tongue of
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Iloa who is still a ticking time bomb, who is
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: still a ticking time bomb to a because of the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: concussions and all that stuff. You toss in that he's limited.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It's like a designated hitter back when the American League
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: only had the DH in the National League did not.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Where Tua is limited. You can only put him on
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: a West Coast team or a Dome team any weather
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: that is not perfect, and it's really bad, It's really
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: really bad. It just doesn't work. The whole thing falls apart,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the whole You can't deal. You can't do it. You
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: cannot do it. A one cold breeze, one snow flurry,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: and the thing of a jig is just ruined. It's
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: just absolutely ruined, all right now, the last word here.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So we head to Detroit. We head to Detroit where
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: David Montgomery, that's a running back and he used to
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: be considered pretty good. But David Montgomery sarcastically questioning on
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: social media a report over the weekend claiming that the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: current Lions running back Montgomery wants out of Detroit. The
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: team supposedly looking for a Day three draft pick number.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: The first round is on Day one, then the second
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and third are on Day two, and then after that
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you got the fourth and the fifth and whatnot on
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: day three, so it's not like a fifth round pick
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: in return for David Montgomery. Of course they always say
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: this when you want to get rid of a player,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you always claim, well, it's because of the salary cap.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It's always because of the salary cap and the dumb dumbs,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the low information fans. They oh, yeah, okay, okay, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: believe that. Yeah, that's right. Sure, let's not question anything.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Now Montgomery was not in on this. How do we
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: know that David Montgomery, who had been part of the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: backfield with Jamiir Gibbs, Well, he sent out a message,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: as we said, on social media and he declined to
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: agree with the said report. So question, how does David
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Montgomery that's a running back his clear indication here that
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: he does not want a Lion's trade based on his post.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: He hadn't posted in like a couple of years. So
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: how does that shift the arithmetic to you? All right,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: So Montgomery, what he did here is he threw a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: massive wrench into the best laid plans of Lions and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: men right here. It makes it uncomfortable. I don't know
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: if I want to go as far as say, incredibly uncomfortable.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: But it's uncomfortable for the Lions because hey, this all
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: mapped out, all right, we'll blame the cap win in doubt,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: blame the cap. Dumb people believe that we'll just say
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: that we'll get rid of every player, so we'll have
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: all the cap space. We'll have no players left. That's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the way to do it, all right. Anyway, So this
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: has I jotted down on my my scorecard MD as
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: in messy divorce, as in messy divorce written all over.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: The Lions were trying to control the narrative, and they
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: almost got away with it if it wasn't for that
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: meddling social media. They wanted to make it seem like
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Montgomery was on board with exiting Detroit, and he was
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: the one who wanted to enter the NFL's transfer portal
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: so they could look like the good guys. Oh, we
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: didn't want to get rid of him, but he didn't
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: want to be here, so we had to get rid
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: of him and all that and yeah, and David Montgomery
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: essentially said, yeah, I'm good here, No thanks, I'm good
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: right here. I don't want to go anywhereless, which is
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: very odd. Someone wants to play for the Lions. Normally,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: my entire life, most of the time people wanted to
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: run away from the Detroit Lions. So think of it
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: like this. It's a table read and Montgomery's sitting down
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: at the table read and he's not following the script.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Bad job by him, right, the lines just follow the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: script now, Jamiir Gibbs. To be completely clear, I think
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you know this. You don't need me to tell you,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: but Jamiir Gibbs has zoom passed zoom passed David Montgomery
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in terms of his impact. Gibbs is the center square
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: of that offense, the tic tac toeh. He's the impact guy.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: He's the home run hitter and all that stuff. Montgomery
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: more like a Douce Staley from back in the day
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: or Joe Mixon, that type of running back. Solid, not
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: a bad player. Use the word gritty, not the mascot
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: from the Flyers, but the word gritty. And it's not
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: like he's irreplaceable. He's not. He's not irreplaceable. And you
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: see you flip him if you're The lines are like, oh,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: we'll get rid of him'll get a late draft pick
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and we'll grab a younger person at half the price,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and we'll save some money. And so but then he
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: dug his I guess he had some heels. He dug
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: his heels in and said, I'm not down with that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: So we'll see where this goes. But Montgomery is currently
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: weaponizing the fanboys and the bots in the matrix to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: put pressure on the lines to keep him. That will
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: likely not work, but the effort is being made. It
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: be part you can join us right now eight seven
• 17:22

  Speaker 2: help you hire smarter and faster. All right, back to
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: it we go, and we begin this hour with that
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys win. In doubt, throw the Cowboys out because
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys are good for business in these parts, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: so that is what we're going to do. And there's
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: one storyline that is bigger than all the other storylines
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: with the Dallas Cowboys and involves a certain disgruntled wide receiver.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So if you haven't been following this story, the Cowboys
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: recently while we were away, placed the non exclusive franchise
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: tag on the back of George Pickens by George, which
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: means that if you would like to get your hands
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: on George Pickens, you can do that. You can negotiate
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: a contract with Pickens. However, you got to read the
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: fine print. However, the Cowboys would have a chance to
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: match any offer sheet that George Pickens agrees to, all right,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: so if not, if not, then the team that signs
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: him would have to give the Cowboys not one, but
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: two first round draft picks as compensation. So that's the
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: deal on that. Now, if you've not been following the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: nitty gritty on this, and perhaps not the state funded
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: NFL media saying that they do not expect they do
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: not expect George Pickens to sign the franchise tag anytime soon,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: that he's going to drag this thing out, as is
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: normal protocol. You sign at the very last minute if
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you're going to sign that at all, and that's how
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: this goes. You crank up the drama, O rama. Now
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: we hear the Pickens camps. We're going to try to
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: find a team, play the match game. Try to find
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: a team that is a match for George Pickens on
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: a long term contract, and then it will be up
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: to the Cowboys whether or not they want Pickens to
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: actually leave or not, and how desperate they are to
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: keep George Pickens. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question is how could George Pickens
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: crowbar his way out of Jerry's world? How does he
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: get out of Dallas? How does he get out of
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the Cowboy locker room? So my observations. I got fruit
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: of the loom, whole foods, and hunger games, and we
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together, and we are
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: going to eat our own dog food, is what we're
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: going to do. You know, that's an old old business saying,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: you gotta eat your own dog food. You got to
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: consume your own product and all that, and a lot
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: of people don't do that anymore. We do consume our
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: own dog food, though, we do. We do on the show.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: So number one, so don't let the franchise tag hornswaggle.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: You do not allow the franchise tag to commit skullduggery
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: because it's not handcuffs. It is this idea. It's a
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: handcuff situation. It's not handcuffs. It is like a suggestion
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: box that is decorated and wrapped in barbed wire. That's
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: what it is. So the playbook for the Great Escape
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: get very dramatic. The Great Escape from Jerry's world. You
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: start by poking the bear. You must poke the bear,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you know it. You raise a hullabaloo. You gotta raise
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a hullabaloo. You become the mosquito that is buzzing around
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Jerry Jones while he's sitting on those tremendously expensive Egyptian
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: sheets that he sleeps on there at three in the morning,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: and you just bother him. And we've seen this before.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It's a common movie. It's a common movie. Here, Michaeh
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Parsons he did something similar. He stopped his feet. He
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: had a conniption fit. He'd set just a little bit
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: bang the drama and all that, and suddenly Jerry flinched
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: and traded his ass to Siberia to go play for
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, the Holy Land of the Cheese Curd,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and that was that. But Jerry for a long times,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: oh now we're gonna keep Michah Parsons, We're not gonna
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: trade him, And then he did, so we know that
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: for Jerry, chaos is really good. It's really really good.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: They have enough if they were to get rid of
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: George Pickens. They already have in Ceedee Lamb, a top
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: level wide receiver, so they can get somebody else in
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: there to play wide receiver. But Pickins has to be
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: willing to play the game. You gotta play the game
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: if you really want to get I would love the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: franchise tag if the company I work for wants to
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: give me one year of cowhard money. I'd be very
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: happy at that. I would not complain, I wouldn't demand
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: a trade. I would take that and have a cheshire
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: cat smile to these guys, these NFL players, they bitch
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: so much about to sell the franchise tag. It's such
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: a such a hardship for these guys. It's so sad.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: It really is just like working in a sweatshop having
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: to make the average of the last five years of
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: players at your position or whatever it is, and in
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: what the formula is. It's really difficult. I don't know
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: how these guys sleep at night being franchise tag. My god.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: So anyway, George Pickens here, he's got, as you said,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: play the game. Send out some cryptic Instagram stories, you know,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: send out some stuff of you wearing different uniforms. That's
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: always good this time of the year. Right, Oh yeah,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: here's a here's George Pickens wearing Oh look at it?
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Is that a? Is that a Raiders? J Oh? He's
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: wearing a Raiders? Or is he wants to play? For
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: the thirds? The social media posts that have the freemi
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: vibes of them? You know what I'm talking about yeah. So,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: and then you can go just full. If you really
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: want to upset youry Jones, you go full what I
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: call food of the loom. You know those T shirts.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: I don't thin they're like this anymore, but the used
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: to make those T shirts that had the label. They'd
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: the tag on the back and it would poke and
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: kind of tickle you while you wore the shirt. It
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: was very annoying. So you gotta do that. You gotta
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: be annoying. You gotta poke and annoy Jerry Jones and
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: make it uncomfortable, make it loud and messy, and Jerry
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: will enjoy that for a while, and then at some
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: point he will no longer enjoy it. And that's the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: point of demarcation. That is the point of demarcation there,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: and as far as the window shopping, you're free to
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: roam around the NFL. Try to work out a deal.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: You got to go to Buffalo first. Now, nobody really
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: wants to live in Buffalo if they have a choice,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: but that's the team. You go in there as the
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: number one option at wide receiver. They don't have a
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: number they don't have a number two receiver in Buffalo.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: You go in there get paid a ton of money.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: You got a top level quarterback, you're good to go.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: You're good to go. Patriots, they made the Super Bowl.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: They don't have an assassin at wide receiver. Go to
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: New England. Now I mentioned the Raiders. They're starving for
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: anything relevant. If the Raiders were a show on Vegas
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: on the strip, they'd be canceled because they're terrible. Then
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you got teams like the Titans who suck that need help,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the Ravens who have a star quarterback that need a
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: big time wide receiver. So George Pickens is the shiny
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: toy that price who cares about draft picks? I would
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: trade all of my draft picks. I don't give an
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: f about draft picks. Now. Meanwhile, to Indianapolis we go.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: The scouting Combine is oh vat ere, it's all over
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the How are we gonna go on with our lives?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: All those nugs, all the nuggets all week, every day,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: fifteen thousand stories popping out of the scouting Combine with
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: its corporate sponsor there in Indianapolis, all those NFL people
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: running up expense accounts at the two or three high
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: end restaurants in downtown Indianapolis, so the combine is over,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: another year is in the books. Another one bites the dust,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: another one bites the dust. So I don't know how
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: much you consumed of the combine. I very little, very
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: little I had. I will admit I had it on
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: in the background. I think it was Thursday. I think
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: it was Thursday. I had it on the background. I
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: did not really pay attention to it, so that that's it.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: And I did monitor some of the names that are
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: being hyped up, for example, if you did not partake
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: in the NFL Scouting combine consuming it. From what I understand,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I could be completely wrong about this, but from what
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I understand, the two studs that got the most buzz
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: are notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love. That's the name
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: of a star. JEREMYA.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Love.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: That's a star's name. You better not suck when your
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: named Jeremiah Love. That's a big time name, the Golden Domer.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: And then you've got Cincinnati wide receiver Jeff Caldwell, who
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Jeff Caldwell, who had scouts drooling at the combine. You
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: might want to see a doctor, all right, So let's
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: discuss this the question, what are your takeaways from the
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: nuggets that came out of the scouting combine. What are
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: the big takeaways on this? So the annual Underwear Olympics,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the closing ceremonies, which includes something with Rich Eisen who
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: used to work here back in the day. But the
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: whole thing has been commandeered, and in the last fifteen years.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: This is not new, this is not a fresh take,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: but the last fifteen years, this thing has been commandeered.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: It's a marketing junket. It's a marketing juncket. They roll
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: out the runway. You got the red carpet. They shine
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the spotlight on the players that are entering the NFL
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: and they parade them out. It's like fashion week in Perie.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: It's fashion week, and you know they're wearing not shoulder pads,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: They're wearing spandex. But that's it. That's what they did.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: They got bright colored cleats on, they shoes, the whole
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: thing and they run around and they shake it. Took us.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: That's how they do it, right there, boom on fashion week.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: NFL's fashion Week. The NFL executives poking prad. They bring
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: in their trainers and their doctors and they get all
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the measurements and then the wingspans, and it's kind of
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: like going to Whole Foods and buying a catalope. They're
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: measuring it like it's a cantilope at Whole Foods, except
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: their human beings. And so Jeremiah Love and this guy
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Jeff Calwell, who I've never heard of. They won the
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Weekend allegedly from what I read. Maybe I read it wrong,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: but they won the Weekend. They look like Marvel superheroes,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: so I'm sure they do Mazeltov. They look great. And
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: it's the NFL going full Hollywood. Hooray for Hollywood, Hooray
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: for Hollywood. It's Warner Brothers with the forty yard dash,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: is what it is. And the draft is at this point,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: and it's been this way as long as the draftsman
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: and I try to add some sexy women and they
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: add some fireworks, and everyone's got a sob story and
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: the draft. You know, they all came from bad parts
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: of town. They all had no money. It's if anybody
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: is drafted who has a lot of money, they're shamed.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? Anyway? The point of all this
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: is the NFL Draft is when you break it down
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: to its essence and you go back to Bedrock. It's
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: old dudes reading names off a card. That's what the
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: NFL draft is. There's nothing exciting about it. Nothing. Let's
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: just have somebody walk up to a podium and read names.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's all. Now they can add fog machines.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: They've tried that, hype videos, you know, the whole thing.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: And this is important. You gotta start pumping up. This
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: is the biggest event of the offseason. You got to
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: pump up these players. Send out the press, release the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: hype videos, the dramatic piano music in the background. You
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: gotta have that. He's built like you know, that old thing.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's the It might as well be
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: produced by the people of that Tutsi role who make
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: that fluffy stuff cott in candy with the throw some
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: lollipops in there, some Tutsi pops. You're good to go.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Here's the reality check. Though nobody knows anything. Nobody knows
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: anything when it comes to the NFL Draft. It is
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: a spin of the roulette wheel. You draft because somebody
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: looks like the incredible Hulk. They've got the measurables that
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: you like, and that don't guarantee anything. You're not gonna
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: be a superstar because you have the measurables. And as
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: the old line goes from back in the day, you
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: can have the body of Tarzan. But if you don't
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: play like Tarzan, if you play like yeah, it's not well,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: it's not well. There you go, play like Jane. So
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: you don't know. What you don't know is the point
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: of all this. And you don't know what you got
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: until you open the box. What's in the box, you
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: don't know. Sometimes it's a franchise level player and sometimes
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: it's a honeysuckle turkey. We cuss both ways, all right, Now,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: final point. As the event of twenty twenty six came
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: to an end, I did notice the chatter that there
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: are many NFL staffers who think they're on thin ice.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Now why is that? Well a popular topic by popular people.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: The scouting combine artificial intelligence, Oh no, yes, and that
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: it is spreading like a fungus. Not the fungus hut,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: but it's spreading like a fungus. There and the question
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: whether or not AI, not Alan Irison, but AI will
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: knock jobs for scouts, there'll be fewer scouts and there'll
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: be less coaching jobs. And that's that because of AI
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: and the many of the jobs that are currently done,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the low level jobs in the NFL are jobs that
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: could easily be replaced with AI and would be more accurate.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: And so this is the concern that you have with
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: people who work in the NFL who are trying to
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: make their way up the ladder, that the ladder will
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: be chopped down and they're gonna fall down. So let
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: us discuss this the question on this one. How do
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: you see this AI takeover of the NFL working out?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: All right? So my first thought is, I absolutely love
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: this story. Now, yeah, you hate in my job. Eventually
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: we'll go there'll be AI here. I'll lose my job
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: to AI. I'm convinced of that at some point. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: believe that to be true. That said this, having covered
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: the NFL for years back when they had those fat
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: guys that used to play that smoked cigars and wore
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Hawaiian shirts, and they were the scouts with the radar
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: guns and all that and the stop watches like that crowd.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: They got replaced. Almost all of those guys got replaced
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: by the Ivy League crowd, the analytical crowd came in,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: they flooded the league with spreadsheets, and now they're the
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: ones that are now in danger of getting eaten by
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: their own creation. How great is that? The irony is
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: just outstanding. So the same analytical crew that took the
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: NFL by storm, those nerds that flooded the NFL with
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: all this stuff, they built this monster in the lab
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: where you put in all the numbers and all that stuff,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: and now they're in danger of being escorted out of
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: the building with one cardboard box with all their stuff
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: in it. I've made that walk, by the way. It's
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: not a fun walk. It's not a fun walk. I've
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: made that walk before. But they sold everyone on process
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: over people. This was the argument. I say, process was
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: more important than people. We don't care about the human beings.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: It's all about the process. Okay, great, wonderful. Well oh yeah, yeah,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Now the process is starting to replace the people. It's
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: the corporate hunger games, the corporate hunger games of the NFL.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: And may the odds be ever in your favor, Chad
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: from Cornell or Mike from Harvard or Steve from Yale
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: or whoever, good luck on that right. And eventually it
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen right away. I know in radio it happens
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: right away. But in other businesses, the NFL's got a
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: lot of money, so they can afford to have no
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: show jobs, which these jobs pretty much are no show
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: jobs and all that stuff. HECTA, the Vikings GM who
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: just got let go, was supposedly drafting players based on
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus or whatever it was, and that was
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: who he was drafting based on what they recommended, rather
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: than actually doing any scouting, which is essentially what this
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: would be. Like. AI says to draft this guy. Okay,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: it says, we'll draft that guy because that's what AI said.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: And then if anybody questions it, you say, well, the
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: AI said to draft it, so just blame AI. Okay,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: change AI's They okay, we'll change AI's. They just do
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: it whatever they're told. So, but the cost cutting does
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: eventually happen. It happens in every business, and it's it's
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: like they payroll. Slash and burn would be what this is.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: And there's so many more coaches now than there used
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to be in all of these sports, so many more
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: now you can trim the fat away and the little
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: slash and burn situation get rid of some of these guys.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: And that's corporate America. One O, one man. That's I've
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: worked at big corporations for my entire adult life and
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: that's how they operate. But if the robot can right
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the Scouty report, then why have the scout right? If
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: the robot if AI can do what the nerds can do,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: but they can do it quicker and they can do
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: it better, then what's the point. So my point is
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: my thing is this, Like AI is a fine tool.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I don't I'm not against it. The problem is when
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you start running these things like it's a Madden franchise,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: you're just setting it up in franchise mode and that's
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: that and all. And the problem is that, And then
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: it's like they try to make this like a science fair,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: which is also not great. It's like a science fair.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: It should be a bar fight, not a science fair.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: As far as I can, the NFL is concerned there.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: And AI can measure the wingspan, they can do that.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: They can say, well, how many jumping jacks can this
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: guy do? Okay, he can do that many. That sounds good.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Can this guy do the old flip? I don't know
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: if he can do the flip. Let's find out. We'll
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: ask AI and all that, but it cannot measure. This
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: is the thing AI cannot measure and will never be
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: able to measure, is whether or not player X has
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: any guts or he has that. And you can't measure
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: who's going to panic in front of seventy five thousand
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: people on a Sunday night in the fourth quarter because
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: they have tight Tukas syndrome. There's no AI program that
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: will tell you that is going to happen, right, but
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: it does happen, and oftentimes you find that information out
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: by the scouting community. So it's it's like a chainsaw.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Think aboutize. It's like a chainsaw, which is useful until
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: you forget it's you know, it's sharp, and then you
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: can get hurt by it. You know you can get
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: hurt by all Right, is the Ban Mahler Show. If

  Speaker 2: An NFL star his father said, you've got to avoid

• 44:07
  Speaker 2: You can do this, Brandon, we can do this, and
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: let's do it fromer.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: Arkansas quarterback Taylor Green had a store combine over the weekend.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: He shattered some records.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Ben.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Do you think this will help him climb up draft boards?
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: No, because it's it's not you know, he wasn't that
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: great at Arkansas. And if he's it's the underwear Olympics, right,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: It's not the skills necessarily that matter to dominate at quarterbacks.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go no, It's nice that you did all
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: that stuff, but as a quarterback doesn't matter that much.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: Next, Ty Simpson was a one year starter at Alabama.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: Rather than accepting offers to transfer to another school, he
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: decided to enter the draft.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Ben, how do you feel about Simpson's pro prospects?
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Blah, I don't think he was that great. I mean,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: he's fine. I think he should be a mid round
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: draft pick. They're talking about him being drafted in the
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: first round. I think that would be that would be
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit of much. I don't think he's gonna
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: be anything more than an average NFL quarterback.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: Now, the Celtics have won eight of their last ten games,
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: twenty games above five hundred without Jason Tatum. Is Jalen
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: Brown a serious MVP candidate?
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Well, he's got to be in the in the conversation.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's running away with the MVP award
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: in the NBA at this point, and there's only like
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: another month and some change to go, so it's down
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: the stretch. He's in the conversation, how did we do
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Brandon pass? That's a
