Dolphins and Jalen Ramsey decided together on a mutual.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Parting of the ways? We'll discuss that.

What is the vibe around coach Mike McDaniel and his

he'd rather quit football than play wid then only play

Now, swimming in the den.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
See if you will well come in the beginning of.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Another hour of the Ben Maler Show.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
We are in the air everywhere, chirping away as we
are the one and only whatever that means, coast to coast,
border to border and beyond, on the vast and verbally
powerful microphones of FSR.

We had these ridiculous playing games last night. Golden State
was up by twenty, barely beat Memphis, barely beat Memphis.
Jimmy Butler was great in that game. And the Orlando
Magic put the whammie on the Atlanta Hawks. So Orlando

(02:14):
is in the playoffs. We've got Golden State and Houston.
That matchup gonna happen in the West, the seven to
two matchup. In the East, you've got the seven to
two matchup. The Orlando Magic will be heading to Boston
Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday for Game one of that series.
But on lead this hour is from South Florida. Shake

(02:36):
up in Miami developing story downfall, Downfall.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Of the Dolphins. Is it true? Now? I don't know
if you've been following this or not.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Maybe no, have a weird told that the decorated decorated
defensive back Jalen Ramsey, former l A I AM and
Jacksonville Jaguar Dude Vall County. So Jalen Ramsey and the
Dolphins have mutually agreed that they're not gonna work together anymore.

(03:09):
In fact, just to prove that I am not making
this up, we have the general manager, mister Greer of
the Dolphins explaining the situation.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Take a listen.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Jalen did not ask for a trade, so we went
through the process.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
I just felt that after.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Numerous conversations and then talking last week with Jalen and
his agent, it was best to move forward and it
was best interested the Miami Dolphins and for Jalen Ramsey.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay, it's a cute way of saying nothing. So that's
the story. It was originally leaked and then you heard
the general manager of the Dolphins was leaked by state
funded NFL media. So let us discuss the question thumbs
up or thumbs down? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Do
you believe that the Dolphins and Jalen Ramsey decided together

(03:56):
on a mutual parting of the ways. So I've got Kroger,
the Everly Brothers and Oxford and we will combine all
of these things together and see what is behind the curtain,
and hopefully it's beer, batted fish and chips. So, first
of all, do we believe that Jalen Ramsey's departure from

(04:21):
Miami was mutual? Of course, no, come on, that's a
thumbs down. That's thumbs down on that one hundred out
of one hundred times. We've talked about these type of
issues on a pretty regular basis, and my default position
is always, always it's not mutual.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
These things are never mutual.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Like you know, a little birdie tells me that Jalen
Ramsey had decided he wanted out, and so he might
not have officially said, hey, I want to trade. Maybe
he sent a text message. Maybe it was a text,
but the message was said. And so now the Miami Dolphins,
they they're like, whoa, it's mutual.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
They look like country bumpkins.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
The reason they look like country bumpkins is because Jalen
Ramsey last year, at little more than seven months ago,
the franchise gave him a three year, three year, seventy
two million dollar extension. All right, so what's going on here?
My spidy like senses tell me the Dolphin front office.

(05:31):
They are doing cosplay. They're acting like they work at Kroger.
Clean up on Aisle seven. Vomit in the air, everywhere,
everywhere on Aisle seven.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Get that mop and bucket ready.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
The Dolphin front office trying to save face here and
they're like, oh, he didn't ask for a trade. Nobody
would like to leave the team we're worth right now.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Everyone wants to be a Miami Dolphin.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
And they gave up a third round draft pick for
the player, and they gave up another player tight end
or whatever. But that Miami is going to get pennies
on the dollar. The reason they're going to get pennies
on the dollar is because Jalen Ramsey is entering his
age thirty one season, which as a defensive back you're
starting to get some mileage there. The Dolphins also owe

(06:17):
Ramsey twenty five million in the upcoming season.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
He had two underwhelming underwhelming is the word seasons in
South Florida.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Had five interceptions over twenty seven games, five five over.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Twenty seven games.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
He also missed a large amount of time with various injuries,
nagging injuries, knee issues.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
The Dolphins will be lucky.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
If they get a fifth round pick for mister Ramsey
and speaking of the Dolphins in a wide angle lens
the Dolphins mantras like onward and upward and all that.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
But let me ask you a question. You are now
the vibe police. What is the vibe?

Speaker 1 (07:04):
What is the vibe around coach Mike McDaniel and his
current situation with the Dolphins. So this guy was a
hot shot, all right, boy, wonder genius, all that stuff
about a year ago, and.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
All of that is gone. All of that is gone.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
And at this point it's like the Everly Brothers tune
from Back of the day.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Problems.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
McDaniel has problems all day long. Worries are piling up
to his eyeballs. At this particular point, the roster, which
wasn't that great to start with, the roster is coming
apart at the seams for the Dolphins. And you look
at that AFC East and you're like, well, Buffalo is

(07:48):
the top team. The Jets blow the Patriots should be
better with Mike Rabel. Are we looking at the Patriots
zooming past the Dolphins? Are the Patriots going to become
now the second team in that division behind behind Buffalo.
But if you're Mike McDaniel, we're talking about an unwinnable game,
a whack a mole with the various issues that are

(08:10):
popping up. You've got veteran players who did not want
to be in Miami anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
They left.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Kaleis Campbell's an example of one of those. Are a
couple of guys Yvon Howard, he also left. You've got
players that retired, Tron Armstead, he retired. You've got guys
that are demanding more money and they want big raises.
You also have tua tongue of a Bailawa who has
nowhere to be seen. He's utterly silent, silent, utterly silent,
radio silence. And Jalen Ramsey is the latest supposedly core

(08:40):
player who is given a vote of no confidence. And
I know we're not even at the NFL Draft yet. However,
as a distant relative of Nostradamas and friend of nos Dnis,
when you start looking ahead and you're like, who's the
next wave of coaches that are on the hot seat,
If you did not highlight the name Mike mc daniel,

(09:01):
you've done something wrong. You've done something wrong because the Dolphins,
there's a lot of bad mojo around the Dolphins, And
if this thing goes the way is looking, they're gonna
clean house. The GM will be gone, the coach will
be gone in Miami, and they'll have a whole new
regime in South Florida. Mike McDaniel is on the endangered list.

(09:24):
He's on the INDIANGERL list. All right, Now, final fun
to the NFL Draft were eight days away. Now eight
is enough. Dropping like a stone the NFL draft. Heisman
winner Travis Hunter, projected to be a top five pick
in the draft, could be number two, number two. Well,

(09:50):
Travis Hunter recently said that he's never never playing football
again if he can't play wide receiver and defensive back
in the NFL. He said, it's never playing football again
because I've been doing it my whole life.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
What a SOB story. I feel like I could dominate
on each side of the ball. Close quote.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Okay, So Travis Hunter says he would rather quit football
than play only wide receiver or defensive back in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
How do you read into this one? All right? So
this is a Thespian performance. That's the word is thespian.
It is a Thespian performance.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Because Hunter, even though he went to Colorado and other places.
He should have gone to the Oxford School of Drama
because he'd earned a Masters in the arts. Travis Hunter
will be a top five pick, likely number two or
number three, which means he is going to get a
contract around in the ballpark of four twenty million dollars guaranteed.

(11:03):
And that means if the Browns or the Giants or
somehow he ends up with the Patriots, if they say, hey,
you are now a wide receiver and you're not a
defensive back, he will say.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Okay, sounds good to me. He will be a model employee,
all right. Now.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I would argue that there's really the reason I said theestian, like,
who's going to tell him?

Speaker 6 (11:29):
No?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Seriously?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
In every business I know on radio, the business I'm in,
everyone has to do ten jobs.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
It used to be there were people for every job.
And I've been in the business.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
A long time, and so everyone's got to do ten
different things that people used to have individual jobs for.
And my friends that don't work in this business tell
me it's the same thing everywhere. So if you're an
NFL team, wouldn't you want the player Travis Hunter to
be both a defensive and offensive player like it's called multitasking.

(12:04):
Hunter will be assigned more work. Keep in mind, there
will be no additional play. He's gonna get the standard
rookie contract. He'll be hatstacking, and that we believe he
should play both sides, right, what's the problem? We mentioned
this in a previous episode of the show. I know
it's the best laid plans of mice men and gas bags,

(12:26):
but give us a reason to watch a radioactive franchise
like the Browns.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Just go out, let him play. Who says no?

Speaker 1 (12:38):
You know, if he goes out gets hurt, that's fine.
You'll just be in the You'll be in the top
five again next year. You're always in the top five.
The same loser teams are there every year. And if
the guy wants to do it and you can, you
can get more bang for your buck.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's more likely than not that Travis Hunter will be a.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Wide receiver and a situational defensive back. My vantage point
that makes the most sense. You are a situational defensive back,
and then you'll also play mostly wide receiver, and depending
on how the defense goes and how you do and
how you're doing it wide receiver, you can tip the

(13:15):
scales one way or another. It is the Ben Mahlor

And we had Bill, we had it's your.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Friend Ben here.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
We had a couple of NBA games last night. And
if you're looking at the gambling perspective, you had Memphis
and Golden State the Lake game. Memphis covered that spread.
They covered that spread by a point and a half.
They were getting six and a half. They lost by
five wine one sixteen. Orlando they dominate, covered by nineteen

(16:10):
points over the Atlanta Hawks. They blew out the Atlanta
Hawks in that game. As far as the games today
or tonight, the early game, the East Coast matchup, which
is actually in the Midwest, the Heat and the Bulls
in Chicago, Sweet home Chicago, where the Bulls used to
be good and now they're in the playing game, which
is better than being in the lottery. The Bulls in

(16:31):
the Heat, although they could still be in the lottery
if they don't win. The Bulls are a one point
favorite in that game. You're probably wonting where's the money?
I need to know where the money is? All right, Well,
the information I have almost seventy percent of the cash
the cashola is in favor of the Chicago Bulls to
win that game.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
So put that in your pipe and smoke it. And
what about the other game.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
The mav Res, the maver Recks playing the Sacramento Kings.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
That line opened at five. It is now four and.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
A half in favor of Sacramento, and the money on
that over seventy percent in favor of the Sacramento Kings.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Remember the way this works here the breakdown. The money
is the.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Public with the take account is the public. The professionals
is the cash. So the professionals are going that way.
The public is about the same. It's a little less
in favor of the Bulls and the Kings in those matchups.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Tonight we'll take some calls.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Also, we have coming up a little bit later password

get sick on Fridays.

Speaker 9 (22:42):
I'm traveling Fridays.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
I think you get sick on Friday.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
There used to be a guy that worked here.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
It was a comedian and he did a show in
the early days of Fox Sports Radio. And this dude,
God love him, he would miss every Friday and Monday.
He did three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Was supposed to be a five day a week show.
And he got away with it for like two months,
and then finally somebody at the company noticed that because
he take off Friday to do Go Fly somewhere into

(23:12):
a comedy gig, and then he was so schnockered from
the weekend that he would take off Monday to recover
from the weekend. He happened to be ill, and he
did it for like a couple of months, and then
I remember they were like, you know, we see a.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Pattern developing here. I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Let's say hello to blind Scott, who's on the north
end of Boston.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Hello, Blind Scot, are you running in the marathon? Is
that true? Blind Scott? Will you be running in the marathon?

Speaker 8 (23:38):
Yeah? I can so if Mike wants to drop his
back off here before he checks into his hotel. He
can If you can't get into his hotel, he could
check out the North End. I could get milkman Mike
onto the finish line. I have a politician that wants
me to stand next to them. My dad's run the marathon.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
E wait wait wait, wait, wait, time out.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
You have a politician want what they want you to
stand there because it's good optics?

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Is that why?

Speaker 7 (24:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (24:02):
Yeah, dude. The Boston Marathon is like a huge capitalistic
type of thing, Like I was gonna throw flames all
over it, but I don't think you want me to
do that.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, I know, I know, I know it's very political
to get in like I thought. You know, it's pretty easy,
but you gotta qualify and it's a big you're gonna pay.

Speaker 8 (24:21):
You gotta pay five grand for charity that might not
even you know, you know, Cherry to look at this
Uda Pipig, she ran the Boston Marathon. You've got to
google this right now. Her name is Uda Pippig. You
gotta look at the backside of her when she's running
the marathon. It's one of the famous most Boston marathon moments. Ever,
I hope you're looking it up right now. You've never
seen a runner like this before.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Looking at Uda Pipig.

Speaker 8 (24:45):
Yeah, look her up. It's a famous Boston Marathon story.
There was a lady she got on the bus, Rosie Ruiz.
She was running the marathon and she got on the bus.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
And oh yeah, that's one of the all time. That's
one of the great stories of all time. You know,
the Boston Marathon.

Speaker 8 (24:58):
There's a peer of change right there at the finish

(29:34):

Speaker 1 (31:03):
More rumors that Kirk Cousins still expected to be traded
in the next week and a day the NFL Draft
a week from tomorrow. Cousins is still expected to be
traded four draft picks this year that that is most
likely to happen. Also, the NFL considering changing the green
room invites because many of the top players are not going.

(31:27):
Uh so there's seventeen players going to the Green Bay Draft,
and there's some chatter that the NFL is thinking about
changing that.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
They used to invite, you know, every.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Single player it was supposed to be drafted in the
first round or could be drafted, and they've limited it
a little bit more. But they're now they're worried about
Jaylen Miller. We talked about this in the other the
other day. Jalen Milroe is one of the players there.
He's not expected to be drafted in the first round,
and so now they're like worry. They're like they're trying
to figure out what they can do to adjust it
because they think it's embarrassing that a guy's going to

(31:59):
travel the draft and then not be picked. So they're
trying to futz around with that. Also, Bill Belichick, this
is funny. His lady friend there, the much younger lady friend,
private emails revealing Bill Belichick's girlfriend was begging North Carolina
to monitor social media because people on social media, this

(32:20):
just in are schmucks and a holes and we're calling
her mean names, calling her a predator, and so she's
I guess now in charge of of blocking people on Wow.
