Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding Dong. It's our numberto and congratulations to the Indianapolis
football team. They have done the impossible, unimaginable. How would
you describe the Colts quarterback room now that they've added
Daniel Jones to join Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, some buzz that Anthony Richardson should demand a trade
out of Indy? Is that how you see it? And
we'll discuss the free agent edition in Baltimore. What does
DeAndre Hopkins have left for the Ravens. We'll talk about
all of that and more right now here. It is
our number two, a dime store type of move. Welcome
(00:48):
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere. Hand in hand, we
have the spirit of audio adventure coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the mast and rightfully powerful
(01:09):
microphones of fsr ammnating live from.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
The full the ear full of sports takes.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyraq
dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended in stars. Tyrack dot Com The way tire
buying should be. I know, random Ryan in Carolina a
big fan of the number ten thousand. So our lead
(01:40):
this hour from one of the more bizarre stories of
the week in the sporting world that we dabble in,
and it's the quarterback market. But so I'm not gonna
do another male monologue about Aaron Rogers and Russell Wilson.
And we've talked about that in a previous hour. If
you missed it, podcast will be up when we get done.
You can play that over and over and over again.
(02:03):
But you can scratch another name off the big board.
Another name off the big board, not a list, Terry
in England, big board, big board.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So if you didn't hear, now, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We learned that Daniel Jones has a new home. The
hustle continues for Daniel Jones, proving that you can be
bad at your job and still find employment. Daniel Jones
and the Indianapolis Colts have agreed to terms a one
year deal for fourteen million dead presidents.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Now what does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So it sets up this is gonna blow you away.
I hope you're not doing anything that could get you
in trouble because when I'm about to say, if you
didn't hear about this, this is nuts, this is next level.
The Indianapolis Colts have set up a training camp quarterback
battle between Danny Dimes and Anthony Richardson for the starting
(03:05):
job of the Colts. Hand to God, no Lies, Hand
to God, no Lies. So let us discuss the question
for the Esteemed panel, how would you describe the Colts
quarterback room with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So I've got Spirit Animal, Twilight Zone.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And Star Treatment, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make some cheesies.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I haven't had them yet.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They look good, though, the cheesy Canadian treat cheesy, they're crunchy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Have you had some yet?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You have not had Loraine has not had them yet either,
But we'll have them all right. So again the question,
what do you or how would you? How would you describe?
How would you describe the quarterback room in Indianapolis with
Daniel Jones on one side and Anthony Richardson on the other.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So my first thought was satire.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Now I'd heard rumors that Daniel Jones was conceivably going
to go to the Colts but when it actually happened,
and I was a little groggy, I was a little
hazy do the overnight show here.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So I sleep during the day and I wake up
and I'm like, what did I miss?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
What happened in the world when I was checked out,
when I practiced death for the day and I was
gone for the day?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So I wake up and I look and I saw, oh,
Daniel Jones agreed to a deal with the Colts. And
then I saw the comments that he's going to be
in a positional battle for the starting job, and I thought, well,
it's got to be satire. And then it wasn't butt
Crack Sports or any of the other satire side sports
talk Barry. No, it wasn't Sentel, which is an NBA thing.
(04:46):
So like it's almost like the GM there, Chris Ballard
was attempting here to sign a guy that will get
him fired. Although Jim rs is the one who's running
the show as the owner, right, but Chris Ballard the GM.
This is an act of sabotage, is what it is.
Is he trying to get himself fired. Like if you
(05:07):
were to put together on a diagram, the worst possible
quarterback depth chart you could put in the year circa
twenty twenty five. They've just done it. Ballard has built
the gam of the Colts has built a bridge. It
is a bridge to nowhere, literally nowhere. It's gotta be
(05:27):
in modern football. The worst quarterback room in NFL history
has there ever been going into an offseason and the following.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Year, this is These are the people you want.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, you gotta be joking, right,
And holy Conoley, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You have further.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Contaminated your rosters like giving the entire team the neurovirus, right,
I mean, what are you doing? Highly contagious? And the
spirit animal I'm convinced now with Daniel Jones and Anthony
Richardson side by side, you've got dumb and dumber. But
the spirit animal is pepe le pew pe. You what stinks, right,
(06:10):
It's a skunk. It's a skunk situation. Anthony Richardson, Just
for context to back up my point. Now, I knew
when I watched the Colts and I'm did the TV show,
so I was trying to watch every game as possible
and watching Indianapolis play Anthony Richardson normally would have two
or three incompletions, then complete like a forty yard pass,
(06:30):
and then three or four incompletions, and then eventually the
Colts get the ball back and he completed a thirty
or forty yard pass. But he was the thirty ninth
ranked quarterback in the NFL. How many quarterbacks were ranked
in the final NFL rankings? Ding ding ding ding Ding
thirty nine. Now Daniel Jones, where did he rank? How
about number thirty six? So you have the thirty sixth
(06:53):
and thirty ninth quarterback and you're ready to hit the
ground running or in this case, hit the ground and
go right into a dick. The only quarterbacks that were
worse than Daniel Jones and slightly ahead of Anthony Richardson
were Deshaun Watson, the creepy quarterback of the Browns who's
now done playing in the NFL for all intentsive purposes,
(07:16):
and Spencer Rattler and Specer Ratler we know he sticks.
So watching these guys play for the Colt, I mean
measuring a Colt season ticket, older holy man, So watching
them will cause dizzyness, lightheadedness and nausera watching them play
now page two. There was some post I got a
(07:37):
kick out of this too. I know, I'm on myself box,
just bear with me. So I got a kick out
of the story. There were some people in the media
saying that Anthony Richardson should ask for a trade, he
should demand a trade, that this is an act of
disrespect by Chris Ballard and the Cools to bring in
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Is that how you see it?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So another part of the story was I I laughed,
I absolutely laughed. I said, who on godscreen Earth thinks
that Anthony Richardson is in any kind of position? Are
we in the twilight zone? Seriously, we must be in
the twilight zone. And picture if you will, a world
where the worst quarterback by any measurement in the NFL,
(08:19):
Anthony Richardson, has any kind of leverage to ask for
a trade. Now, if anything, this is embarrassing that the Colts,
it's not a real quarterback bout. If you can't beat
Danny Dimes out for the QB one job in Indianapolis,
then you should You should be driving in a way moo,
in the back of a way mo because you know
(08:40):
the way my self driving car. And but it's crazy
in the dimension I'm in. Uh, you have no leverage.
He's lucky, he's not given a pink slip Richardson the
way he's performed here. In fact, in several states, what
he has done is he's guilty of grand larceny.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is what he's guilty of.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I go back to all of the numbers, the
eyeball test, by any of that and all of it,
he is a Schmendrick at the quarterback position. Well, he
runs really well. Shot hop you loser, it's wrong with you,
Anthony Richardson. His completion percentage was below fifty percent. That's
(09:18):
in a dumb down here in the NFL, with a
lot of short passing mixed in and all that he
completed forty seven point seven percent of his passes. You're
not even You can't even play for the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers with that kind of number. And he ranked in
the very last percentile in just about every category for
a quarterback in the NFL. And there had not been
(09:38):
a quarterback this bat since Tim Tebow. And even go
across the board, you got to go back to like
the nineteen eighties when baseball was the most popular sport
in America anyway, not the NFL in the early eighties.
And he also tapped out of a game because he
was tired Anthony Richardson last year, and so why he
(10:00):
should demand a trade. And I believe he's missed seventeen
games an entire season through his first two years because
of injury. But other than that, everything's going great, Everything's
going wonderful. All right, Now, final point, we head away
from Indianapolis. I think I've beaten that into the ground.
And so now we move to the wide receiver portion
(10:21):
of the broadcast. Please fast forward accordingly. So wide receiver
DeAndre Hopkins, good name, DeAndre Hopkins has agreed to leave
Cannsa City. He was a free agent after the Super Bowl.
DeAndre Hopkins taking his talents to the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah,
does that make you tingle? Does that get you excited?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Hopkins will get a one year deal with pay him
five million. So he leaves behind Mahomes and Kelsey and
Andy Reid for Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry and Harball. And
that's what he's got there in the Charms City. A
lot of great seafood in Baltimore. He can hang out
with sports with Coleman. So what does the Andre Hopkins
have left in the tank for the Ravens. That is
(11:05):
the question on this one. I would put Hopkins in
my book, and I've got a little notes thing on
my phone. I would say DeAndre Hopkins good name and
little game, good name, little game. Yeah, he's a wonder.
He's traveling down the dusty winnemuck A road at this
(11:26):
point here journeyman chasing a ring didn't work out in
Kansas City, so now he's going to Baltimore and the Ravens.
If my math is correct on this, the Ravens will
be hopkins third team the last two years, fifteen in
thirteen years, although he spent most of the early part
of his career of the Houston Texans, and since he
left Houston he's bounced around here, there, in everywhere and yeah,
(11:52):
and DeAndre Hopkins was once an elite wide receiver back
in his salad days with the Houston Texans, but he
has clearly slowed down. Fact the numbers are rather disturbing.
The nerds do not like DeAndre Hopkins at all. He
averages one point seven yards per route or route last season,
(12:18):
and per reception. He had the lowest mark in his
career with Kansas City and Tennessee last year, and he
is simply going to be roster filler in Baltimore. Now
that being said, there's a bigger deeper meaning, A bigger
deeper meaning to DeAndre Hopkins going to the ramis no,
what is that?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'm glad you asked. The bigger meaning is.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
To pacify Lamar Jackson. Why would Lamar Jackson want a
washed up wide receiver? What you got to keep the
quarterback happy? And this is what's known as the star
treatment by the front office in Baltimore. Now, what is
my evidence? May give me my evidence here and you're
the juror and you can decide. Go back in the
(13:06):
hot top time machine. A couple of years ago, Lamar
Jackson publicly gave advice to the GM Eric DaCosta there
in Baltimore, and his advice was that the Ravens should
go out and get DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Junior.
This goes back to twenty twenty three, so a couple
years ago. Now do you remember who the Ravens added
(13:27):
last year in actually I guess in twenty twenty three. Yeah,
that's right, Odell Beckham, they added Odell Beckham. And here
we are twenty twenty five and they've now added DeAndre Hopkins.
That's two for two. Of course, Lamar Jackson should have
suggested the Ravens go out and get Justin Jefferson and
(13:48):
Jamar Chase. Instead, he recommended Hopkins and Beckham. And good
luck on, good luck on that, good luck on that.

gas baggery.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
We do that absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A late night drug tester rights and says, so is
DeAndre Hopkins coming to Baltimore to be a blocker since
Lamar is a more prolific runner than passer.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
He points out, all right, the shots fired there.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
One of my NFL insider Guru friends says, unlike Derrick Henry,
DeAndre Hopkins has washed up and the parade of terribles.
The Ravens have cornered the market on washed up wide
receivers over the years. This is what they do. That's
Raven football. That's part of the franchise charter. We mentioned
(16:25):
Odell Beckham and now DeAndre Hopkins, but also Steve Smith
Senior who really loves the Baltimore Ravens Marching band, and
Sean Jackson all there, Dez Bryant. So the endless list,
not that we do list radio, but a lot of
names alf the alienal Piners is. I highly recommend the
Ketchup chips. I used to have them when I visited
(16:48):
relatives in Canada as a youth, and they're very scarce
on this side of the border.

Yeah so I.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Wow, they're amazing. Like that's my reaction.
Speaker 1 (16:58):

Speaker 2 (17:06):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Do you see the logo in the back the Ketchup bottle?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh yeah. They all have like the sour creaman onion

says Bill. Well, Bill, wrap yourself in the black and yellow,
black and yellow, black and yellow. Joe the ghost Hunner
says the culture must watch TV in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:52):

Speaker 1 (19:20):
You're not like that kind of woman at all.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You are.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
You are the antithesis of that type of woman. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Kick my feedback?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Then you are the opposite. You're not the plan of Lorena, right,
You're the fly by night kind of like last minute
you know exactly, You're like shiny object. I'm going towards
the shiny object whatever, whatever the shiny object is.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And I normally do plan things out.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I just am in the very very busy here the
last couple of apparently the last couple of weeks, I'm
not able to plan anything. We will have Bonus Benny
coming up in a minute. We'll take your calls. Let's
go to the phones right now, and we'll say hello
to Danny DeVito, the Great Danny DeVito in bas Hello, Danny, Welcome,
mister Malah.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
I want to how about the that league again? That
is so fascinating that Russell Wilson and Aaron Roses that
they can't find a job. But you got gobbage one,
two and three, Dack Wilson and justin sales and Danny Dimes.
Fine work, Danny Dimes is fascinating because you already touched
(20:25):
on it. He's done nothing in this league and he's
been in the startup for what four or five years now.
He just stayed over there for four or five years.
And that coach is a problem two over there for
MCS Giants.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I don't know how that coaches has.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Been the coach for that team, and that was in
three or four seasons.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Over there, Brian, you're talking about Dable.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I mean, Daniel Jones. The only thing he's good at
is impersonating Eli Manning like he does in Eli Manning.
He sounds just like him, he carries himself like him,
and yeah, he's he's was the Giants quarterback for six years,
six years. He saw he sucked years.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Wow was it that one?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, six six years from twenty nineteen to
twenty twenty four. Uh, he got hurt one of those years,
but he was He played the majority of the games
over that period of time. Started started sixty nine games
in six years for the for the Giants, and was horrible.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
And absolutely nothing. Valance Manning one who won a couple
of Super Bowls. I mean, this guy here has done absolutely.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Well even the year. And in this point, I mean,
somebody will say, wow, they made the playoffs in twenty
twenty two, and I always counted that and I point out, yeah,
they made the playoffs in twenty twenty two, but it
wasn't because of their passing offense. And I've given this
number many times every years I'll give it again right now.
For those that are new to the show. The Giants,
(21:51):
the year they made the playoffs, their passing offense with
Daniel Jones at quarterback was ranking twenty six in the NFL.
So they didn't exactly get to the playoffs on the
strength of their passing office. But I digress, Danny anything
anything else. You just want to take a shot. I'm
fine with you taking shots, you know right well, the.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
The tech queen, Lorena, she says, the I caught at
the end of it. Now about Belle. Did she say
brothers get involved with the same woman during certain things?
Was that something she was saying? My brother and I
would never want to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, me too, I got brothers she said.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Was that something she was saying.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I think she did say that. I believe you, Lorena.
Would you like to expand on that. Let that stand.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
No, I I know from experience my own brothers really yes,
they have done multiple things like that.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
No way, yes, And I must be a pacific.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
It was specifically for that conversation where he was with
his brother doing that to their cousin.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Right, So, oh, you're talking about that. I thought you were.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Talking about like sharing the same girl. That's what I
was talking about. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I think that's what he was talking about. I think
that's yeah you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I would say that, Yeah, bring that all the time.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Brothers do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I think I don't think that's true. I don't think
that's true. I never did that.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I've never done that with my brother. I got two brothers,
I got older and younger. I never did that. I
never woke up when they said, oh, let's prut my
brother in on this set.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Women.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
No, I never done that either. I have no one.
I mean, if I do something with a woman, I
might tell them, but I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah you might, you might brag about it, but you're
not going to bring them in. And haven't You don't
want them as an eye. You don't want them as
an eye witness to to the activity.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
No, no, no, definitely. Now when it comes to certain
friends I have, I've done things with a woman with
a certain friends.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, suddenly it's like loveline all of a sudden, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
All right, Well, I got I got one more question
for the Techoueen there you brought something a couple of
months ago about her She used to cover the fight.
I was just curious about what fights with that boxing
of the cage.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Listen, we don't talk about that's it. That's it. Before
we knew. I got let you, I thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Uh yeah, we can't talk about Lorraine's past.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
You know you there's some.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Skelly what ifs.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't know did I ever, I don't remember ever
saying that you covered. I think I might have been
sarcastically goofing on the on something.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
But yeah, you know, your sarcasm is hard to pick.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Up sometimes occasionally. Yeah, there used to be a boss
that we had that did not get my sarcasm, thought
everything I said was accurate and did not like it.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
So fun though, that girl with the sign that you
walk around and you hold the sign.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Up the ring girl, you want to be there the ring?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yeah, my gosh, I'd be so fun.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Every once in a while they get discovered. It becomes
like super famous. You know, it makes a bunch of money.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
I've watched a a UFC fight once, a Connor McGregor
fight at Sapphire in Las Vegas. Uh huh and uh
it's a it's a strip club.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But how's the food?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
It was actually not bad, and it was the cheapest
place to go and watch the UFC fight. Like, if
you wanted to watch it in any like big time
strip casino, would they charge you like one hundred dollars
cover fee or whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So it was cheap here.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
You got food included and between each round topless woman
holding a round card walking.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Out on.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Way to go.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
That's great. Year's talk about tips.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Years ago we were it was with the wife.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
We were looking up like the one of the top
Mexican restaurants in Vegas and one of the top five
was in a strip club.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yes, okay, you know what I went there?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Did you go to that one? The chef called us? Remember, Oh,
is that was that his place?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh, I guess i'd been there. I didn't realize he
was that was his spot? Yeah, yeah, yes, it's like
one of the highest rated Mexican restaurants in Vegas is
in a strip club.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
How perfect is that?
Speaker 8 (25:52):
And that's that's the same strip club that.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I'm talking about. I'd been there.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Who called a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah he's a fan of the show. Yeah, you get
your chips. You saw so and you get something.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Else he was.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
He was quick to say that there are multiple locations
in Vegas. They're not all in strip clubs.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
But yeah, that's great. All right, let's go back to
the phones. We'll say, all let's go to Colton. Who's
next up in the Valley of the Sun. Hello Colton, Welcome, Ben?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
If I was any better, I'd be a Murray, But
not Kyler Murray.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Because he's all right, I get.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
The ship, all right, first time color, longtime listener. But
I have to say, you know, you know, I think
that fourth in general isn't a kind of pop culture
like the real.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Sport of the people.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
Really, I mean, and I'll elaborate. I really, here's my
unpopular opinion of today. I think we need to bring
Wendy Williams as a side line NFL reporter because that
bit is going to with ll like it is, bleep
me if you have to?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Doesn't she have the doesn't she have?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Like?
Speaker 9 (27:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
She does? I thought, I really, I thought I read
that somewhere that was that a fake story?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
News news?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Slurring his words, what are we what are we drinking?
What do we got? What do we got tonight. What
an open bar.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
I'm sorry, sir, I'm not sorry my words. I was
just kind of enunciating and.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You were enunciating. One man's enunciated. One man's enunciation is
another man. Can you can you breathe in the phone?
Can you breathe in the phone right now?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Please? Colton?
Speaker 7 (27:37):
All right?
Speaker 9 (27:38):
I'm sorry. I wouldn't that be?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
All right? Sounds like Tony from the bay right there,
not drinking at all, No, no, just naturally an a hole,
That's that's all he is, just born.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
They should be careful.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Wendy Williams memory thing is alcohol and you know, oh
is it?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Yeah, so that's the problem. She keeps going off the
rocker and she loses.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Her Yeah yeah, I think that was last year? Was
it last year? The story came out of.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
That she had dimensions prisoner and she's like looks out
the window all.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Sad, like help me.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, all right, well good luck.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
You know it's it's a problem. Well.

James Harden back in the day.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Harden and Christian Brown. It's Mallard.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (36:31):
To the third degree, this is one thing that gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Sakwan.
Speaker 8 (36:39):
Barkley said in a news conference on Monday that he
hopes that his deal helps other backs earn deals that
make his look less like an outlier. He went on
to mention John Robinson, Jamier Gibbs, and James Cook. Yeah,
and do you think any of those guys will be
able to match or exceed at Barkley's contract?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
All Right, So I'm gonna go in and oh and
I'll put those together and I'm gonna go No. This
is a novel situation for Barkley. Everything lined up in
a row, and we've seen it with some of the
running backs that they've signed. I know they haven't been
too many so far, but he's on his own part
of the map. Barkley and Jamier Gibbs is good, and
(37:16):
James Cook's good, and Robinson and all those guys, but
they're just not considered the transcendent running back. So I
see no Evan and all those guys can get better.
And if they get better and then the teams get
to a Super Bowl, sure, but I'm not betting on
any of those things happening next.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
So the Thunder and the Calves have had the best
records in the NBA for much of the season, but
many have pigeonholed them as regular season powerhouses rather than
serious title contenders, And now some are saying, after this
past weekend, it's time to stop doubting them. Ben, are
you still doubting the Calves in the Thunder?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I am doubting the Calves. I know it seems crazy
they won all these games. I still would bet on
the Celtics if you gave me some funny money, I'd
bet on the Celtics over the Cavaliers in the playoff series.
Starting to buy into okay see, but then they went
out and lost to the Nuggets the other night. So
now I'm confused on on OKC but I believe more
in Oklahoma City than I do in Cleveland, and Cleveland
(38:10):
reminds me remember the Atlanta Hawks years ago. He had
like three or four all stars to a good regular
season seam. Mike Budenholzer was a coach, and then in
the playoffs they ran into I think it was Lebron's
team and that was it.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
They went they went out.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
So I think it's a similar situation that next.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
Angel Reese said in a recent interview that she's excited
for the new CBA and that WNBA owners if w
NBA owners don't give the players what they want, they
are sitting out now. Been the highest base salary in
the league last year was two hundred and forty two
thousand dollars. It'll undoubtedly go up. How high do you
think WNBA salaries will go?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Well, I don't I don't know the books.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I just I've read online that the WNBA has been
around since the nineties and they've never turned to profit.
So how I don't know how you can give race?
I mean, what do you do, Like, if you're the
WNBA ownership, you're like, well, wait, so you don't want
to work, and we won't lose as much money. Three
hundred thousand cool, but an extra sixty thousand. How we do?
He passes COLOREDO.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
I passed.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Why you will done? I got it done.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
You a winning season
Ding Dong. It's our numberto and congratulations to the Indianapolis
football team. They have done the impossible, unimaginable. How would
you describe the Colts quarterback room now that they've added
Daniel Jones to join Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, some buzz that Anthony Richardson should demand a trade
out of Indy? Is that how you see it? And
we'll discuss the free agent edition in Baltimore. What does
DeAndre Hopkins have left for the Ravens. We'll talk about
all of that and more right now here. It is
our number two, a dime store type of move. Welcome
(00:48):
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere. Hand in hand, we
have the spirit of audio adventure coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the mast and rightfully powerful
(01:09):
microphones of fsr ammnating live from.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
The full the ear full of sports takes.

We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyraq

fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten

buying should be. I know, random Ryan in Carolina a
big fan of the number ten thousand. So our lead
(01:40):
this hour from one of the more bizarre stories of
the week in the sporting world that we dabble in,
and it's the quarterback market. But so I'm not gonna
do another male monologue about Aaron Rogers and Russell Wilson.
And we've talked about that in a previous hour. If
you missed it, podcast will be up when we get done.
You can play that over and over and over again.
(02:03):
But you can scratch another name off the big board.
Another name off the big board, not a list, Terry
in England, big board, big board.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So if you didn't hear, now, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We learned that Daniel Jones has a new home. The
hustle continues for Daniel Jones, proving that you can be
bad at your job and still find employment. Daniel Jones
and the Indianapolis Colts have agreed to terms a one
year deal for fourteen million dead presidents.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Now what does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So it sets up this is gonna blow you away.
I hope you're not doing anything that could get you
in trouble because when I'm about to say, if you
didn't hear about this, this is nuts, this is next level.
The Indianapolis Colts have set up a training camp quarterback
battle between Danny Dimes and Anthony Richardson for the starting
(03:05):
job of the Colts. Hand to God, no Lies, Hand
to God, no Lies. So let us discuss the question
for the Esteemed panel, how would you describe the Colts
quarterback room with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So I've got Spirit Animal, Twilight Zone.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And Star Treatment, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make some cheesies.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I haven't had them yet.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They look good, though, the cheesy Canadian treat cheesy, they're crunchy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Have you had some yet?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You have not had Loraine has not had them yet either,
But we'll have them all right. So again the question,
what do you or how would you? How would you describe?
How would you describe the quarterback room in Indianapolis with
Daniel Jones on one side and Anthony Richardson on the other.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So my first thought was satire.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Now I'd heard rumors that Daniel Jones was conceivably going
to go to the Colts but when it actually happened,
and I was a little groggy, I was a little
hazy do the overnight show here.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So I sleep during the day and I wake up
and I'm like, what did I miss?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
What happened in the world when I was checked out,
when I practiced death for the day and I was
gone for the day?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So I wake up and I look and I saw, oh,
Daniel Jones agreed to a deal with the Colts. And
then I saw the comments that he's going to be
in a positional battle for the starting job, and I thought, well,
it's got to be satire. And then it wasn't butt
Crack Sports or any of the other satire side sports
talk Barry. No, it wasn't Sentel, which is an NBA thing.
(04:46):
So like it's almost like the GM there, Chris Ballard
was attempting here to sign a guy that will get
him fired. Although Jim rs is the one who's running
the show as the owner, right, but Chris Ballard the GM.
This is an act of sabotage, is what it is.
Is he trying to get himself fired. Like if you
(05:07):
were to put together on a diagram, the worst possible
quarterback depth chart you could put in the year circa
twenty twenty five. They've just done it. Ballard has built
the gam of the Colts has built a bridge. It
is a bridge to nowhere, literally nowhere. It's gotta be
(05:27):
in modern football. The worst quarterback room in NFL history
has there ever been going into an offseason and the following.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Year, this is These are the people you want.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, you gotta be joking, right,
And holy Conoley, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You have further.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Contaminated your rosters like giving the entire team the neurovirus, right,
I mean, what are you doing? Highly contagious? And the
spirit animal I'm convinced now with Daniel Jones and Anthony
Richardson side by side, you've got dumb and dumber. But
the spirit animal is pepe le pew pe. You what stinks, right,
(06:10):
It's a skunk. It's a skunk situation. Anthony Richardson, Just
for context to back up my point. Now, I knew
when I watched the Colts and I'm did the TV show,
so I was trying to watch every game as possible
and watching Indianapolis play Anthony Richardson normally would have two
or three incompletions, then complete like a forty yard pass,
(06:30):
and then three or four incompletions, and then eventually the
Colts get the ball back and he completed a thirty
or forty yard pass. But he was the thirty ninth
ranked quarterback in the NFL. How many quarterbacks were ranked
in the final NFL rankings? Ding ding ding ding Ding
thirty nine. Now Daniel Jones, where did he rank? How
about number thirty six? So you have the thirty sixth
(06:53):
and thirty ninth quarterback and you're ready to hit the
ground running or in this case, hit the ground and
go right into a dick. The only quarterbacks that were
worse than Daniel Jones and slightly ahead of Anthony Richardson
were Deshaun Watson, the creepy quarterback of the Browns who's
now done playing in the NFL for all intentsive purposes,
(07:16):
and Spencer Rattler and Specer Ratler we know he sticks.
So watching these guys play for the Colt, I mean
measuring a Colt season ticket, older holy man, So watching
them will cause dizzyness, lightheadedness and nausera watching them play
now page two. There was some post I got a
(07:37):
kick out of this too. I know, I'm on myself box,
just bear with me. So I got a kick out
of the story. There were some people in the media
saying that Anthony Richardson should ask for a trade, he
should demand a trade, that this is an act of
disrespect by Chris Ballard and the Cools to bring in
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Is that how you see it?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So another part of the story was I I laughed,
I absolutely laughed. I said, who on godscreen Earth thinks
that Anthony Richardson is in any kind of position? Are
we in the twilight zone? Seriously, we must be in
the twilight zone. And picture if you will, a world
where the worst quarterback by any measurement in the NFL,
(08:19):
Anthony Richardson, has any kind of leverage to ask for
a trade. Now, if anything, this is embarrassing that the Colts,
it's not a real quarterback bout. If you can't beat
Danny Dimes out for the QB one job in Indianapolis,
then you should You should be driving in a way moo,
in the back of a way mo because you know
(08:40):
the way my self driving car. And but it's crazy
in the dimension I'm in. Uh, you have no leverage.
He's lucky, he's not given a pink slip Richardson the
way he's performed here. In fact, in several states, what
he has done is he's guilty of grand larceny.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is what he's guilty of.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I go back to all of the numbers, the
eyeball test, by any of that and all of it,
he is a Schmendrick at the quarterback position. Well, he
runs really well. Shot hop you loser, it's wrong with you,
Anthony Richardson. His completion percentage was below fifty percent. That's
(09:18):
in a dumb down here in the NFL, with a
lot of short passing mixed in and all that he
completed forty seven point seven percent of his passes. You're
not even You can't even play for the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers with that kind of number. And he ranked in
the very last percentile in just about every category for
a quarterback in the NFL. And there had not been
(09:38):
a quarterback this bat since Tim Tebow. And even go
across the board, you got to go back to like
the nineteen eighties when baseball was the most popular sport
in America anyway, not the NFL in the early eighties.
And he also tapped out of a game because he
was tired Anthony Richardson last year, and so why he
(10:00):
should demand a trade. And I believe he's missed seventeen
games an entire season through his first two years because
of injury. But other than that, everything's going great, Everything's
going wonderful. All right, Now, final point, we head away
from Indianapolis. I think I've beaten that into the ground.
And so now we move to the wide receiver portion
(10:21):
of the broadcast. Please fast forward accordingly. So wide receiver
DeAndre Hopkins, good name, DeAndre Hopkins has agreed to leave
Cannsa City. He was a free agent after the Super Bowl.
DeAndre Hopkins taking his talents to the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah,
does that make you tingle? Does that get you excited?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Hopkins will get a one year deal with pay him
five million. So he leaves behind Mahomes and Kelsey and
Andy Reid for Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry and Harball. And
that's what he's got there in the Charms City. A
lot of great seafood in Baltimore. He can hang out
with sports with Coleman. So what does the Andre Hopkins
have left in the tank for the Ravens. That is
(11:05):
the question on this one. I would put Hopkins in
my book, and I've got a little notes thing on
my phone. I would say DeAndre Hopkins good name and
little game, good name, little game. Yeah, he's a wonder.
He's traveling down the dusty winnemuck A road at this
(11:26):
point here journeyman chasing a ring didn't work out in
Kansas City, so now he's going to Baltimore and the Ravens.
If my math is correct on this, the Ravens will
be hopkins third team the last two years, fifteen in
thirteen years, although he spent most of the early part
of his career of the Houston Texans, and since he
left Houston he's bounced around here, there, in everywhere and yeah,
(11:52):
and DeAndre Hopkins was once an elite wide receiver back
in his salad days with the Houston Texans, but he
has clearly slowed down. Fact the numbers are rather disturbing.
The nerds do not like DeAndre Hopkins at all. He
averages one point seven yards per route or route last season,
(12:18):
and per reception. He had the lowest mark in his
career with Kansas City and Tennessee last year, and he
is simply going to be roster filler in Baltimore. Now
that being said, there's a bigger deeper meaning, A bigger
deeper meaning to DeAndre Hopkins going to the ramis no,
what is that?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'm glad you asked. The bigger meaning is.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
To pacify Lamar Jackson. Why would Lamar Jackson want a
washed up wide receiver? What you got to keep the
quarterback happy? And this is what's known as the star
treatment by the front office in Baltimore. Now, what is
my evidence? May give me my evidence here and you're
the juror and you can decide. Go back in the
(13:06):
hot top time machine. A couple of years ago, Lamar
Jackson publicly gave advice to the GM Eric DaCosta there
in Baltimore, and his advice was that the Ravens should
go out and get DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Junior.
This goes back to twenty twenty three, so a couple
years ago. Now do you remember who the Ravens added
(13:27):
last year in actually I guess in twenty twenty three. Yeah,
that's right, Odell Beckham, they added Odell Beckham. And here
we are twenty twenty five and they've now added DeAndre Hopkins.
That's two for two. Of course, Lamar Jackson should have
suggested the Ravens go out and get Justin Jefferson and
(13:48):
Jamar Chase. Instead, he recommended Hopkins and Beckham. And good
luck on, good luck on that, good luck on that.
It is the Ben Malers Show. If you'd like to
comment on any of this, you can join us right

We do that absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A late night drug tester rights and says, so is
DeAndre Hopkins coming to Baltimore to be a blocker since
Lamar is a more prolific runner than passer.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
He points out, all right, the shots fired there.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
One of my NFL insider Guru friends says, unlike Derrick Henry,
DeAndre Hopkins has washed up and the parade of terribles.
The Ravens have cornered the market on washed up wide
receivers over the years. This is what they do. That's
Raven football. That's part of the franchise charter. We mentioned
(16:25):
Odell Beckham and now DeAndre Hopkins, but also Steve Smith
Senior who really loves the Baltimore Ravens Marching band, and
Sean Jackson all there, Dez Bryant. So the endless list,
not that we do list radio, but a lot of
names alf the alienal Piners is. I highly recommend the
Ketchup chips. I used to have them when I visited

Wow, they're amazing. Like that's my reaction.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh yeah. They all have like the sour creaman onion

Speaker 1 (19:20):
You're not like that kind of woman at all.
Speaker 3 (19:22):

You are the antithesis of that type of woman. What
are you talking about?

go to the phones right now, and we'll say hello
to Danny DeVito, the Great Danny DeVito in bas Hello, Danny, Welcome,
mister Malah.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
I want to how about the that league again? That
is so fascinating that Russell Wilson and Aaron Roses that
they can't find a job. But you got gobbage one,
two and three, Dack Wilson and justin sales and Danny Dimes.
Fine work, Danny Dimes is fascinating because you already touched
(20:25):
on it. He's done nothing in this league and he's
been in the startup for what four or five years now.
He just stayed over there for four or five years.
And that coach is a problem two over there for
MCS Giants.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I don't know how that coaches has.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Been the coach for that team, and that was in
three or four seasons.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Over there, Brian, you're talking about Dable.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I mean, Daniel Jones. The only thing he's good at
is impersonating Eli Manning like he does in Eli Manning.
He sounds just like him, he carries himself like him,
and yeah, he's he's was the Giants quarterback for six years,
six years. He saw he sucked years.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Wow was it that one?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, six six years from twenty nineteen to
twenty twenty four. Uh, he got hurt one of those years,
but he was He played the majority of the games
over that period of time. Started started sixty nine games
in six years for the for the Giants, and was horrible.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
And absolutely nothing. Valance Manning one who won a couple
of Super Bowls. I mean, this guy here has done absolutely.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Well even the year. And in this point, I mean,
somebody will say, wow, they made the playoffs in twenty
twenty two, and I always counted that and I point out, yeah,
they made the playoffs in twenty twenty two, but it
wasn't because of their passing offense. And I've given this
number many times every years I'll give it again right now.
For those that are new to the show. The Giants,
(21:51):
the year they made the playoffs, their passing offense with
Daniel Jones at quarterback was ranking twenty six in the NFL.
So they didn't exactly get to the playoffs on the
strength of their passing office. But I digress, Danny anything
anything else. You just want to take a shot. I'm
fine with you taking shots, you know right well, the.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
The tech queen, Lorena, she says, the I caught at
the end of it. Now about Belle. Did she say
brothers get involved with the same woman during certain things?
Was that something she was saying? My brother and I
would never want to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, me too, I got brothers she said.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Was that something she was saying.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I think she did say that. I believe you, Lorena.
Would you like to expand on that. Let that stand.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
No, I I know from experience my own brothers really yes,
they have done multiple things like that.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
No way, yes, And I must be a pacific.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
It was specifically for that conversation where he was with
his brother doing that to their cousin.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Right, So, oh, you're talking about that. I thought you were.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Talking about like sharing the same girl. That's what I
was talking about. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I think that's what he was talking about. I think
that's yeah you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I would say that, Yeah, bring that all the time.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Brothers do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I think I don't think that's true. I don't think
that's true. I never did that.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I've never done that with my brother. I got two brothers,
I got older and younger. I never did that. I
never woke up when they said, oh, let's prut my
brother in on this set.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Women.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
No, I never done that either. I have no one.
I mean, if I do something with a woman, I
might tell them, but I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah you might, you might brag about it, but you're
not going to bring them in. And haven't You don't
want them as an eye. You don't want them as
an eye witness to to the activity.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
No, no, no, definitely. Now when it comes to certain
friends I have, I've done things with a woman with
a certain friends.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, suddenly it's like loveline all of a sudden, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
All right, Well, I got I got one more question
for the Techoueen there you brought something a couple of
months ago about her She used to cover the fight.
I was just curious about what fights with that boxing
of the cage.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Listen, we don't talk about that's it. That's it. Before
we knew. I got let you, I thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Uh yeah, we can't talk about Lorraine's past.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
You know you there's some.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Skelly what ifs.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't know did I ever, I don't remember ever
saying that you covered. I think I might have been
sarcastically goofing on the on something.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
But yeah, you know, your sarcasm is hard to pick.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Up sometimes occasionally. Yeah, there used to be a boss
that we had that did not get my sarcasm, thought
everything I said was accurate and did not like it.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
So fun though, that girl with the sign that you
walk around and you hold the sign.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Up the ring girl, you want to be there the ring?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yeah, my gosh, I'd be so fun.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Every once in a while they get discovered. It becomes
like super famous. You know, it makes a bunch of money.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
I've watched a a UFC fight once, a Connor McGregor
fight at Sapphire in Las Vegas. Uh huh and uh
it's a it's a strip club.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But how's the food?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
It was actually not bad, and it was the cheapest
place to go and watch the UFC fight. Like, if
you wanted to watch it in any like big time
strip casino, would they charge you like one hundred dollars
cover fee or whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So it was cheap here.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
You got food included and between each round topless woman
holding a round card walking.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Out on.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Way to go.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
That's great. Year's talk about tips.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Years ago we were it was with the wife.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
We were looking up like the one of the top
Mexican restaurants in Vegas and one of the top five
was in a strip club.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yes, okay, you know what I went there?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Did you go to that one? The chef called us? Remember, Oh,
is that was that his place?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh, I guess i'd been there. I didn't realize he
was that was his spot? Yeah, yeah, yes, it's like
one of the highest rated Mexican restaurants in Vegas is
in a strip club.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
How perfect is that?
Speaker 8 (25:52):
And that's that's the same strip club that.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I'm talking about. I'd been there.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Who called a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah he's a fan of the show. Yeah, you get
your chips. You saw so and you get something.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Else he was.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
He was quick to say that there are multiple locations
in Vegas. They're not all in strip clubs.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
But yeah, that's great. All right, let's go back to
the phones. We'll say, all let's go to Colton. Who's
next up in the Valley of the Sun. Hello Colton, Welcome, Ben?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
If I was any better, I'd be a Murray, But
not Kyler Murray.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Because he's all right, I get.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
The ship, all right, first time color, longtime listener. But
I have to say, you know, you know, I think
that fourth in general isn't a kind of pop culture
like the real.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Sport of the people.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
Really, I mean, and I'll elaborate. I really, here's my
unpopular opinion of today. I think we need to bring
Wendy Williams as a side line NFL reporter because that
bit is going to with ll like it is, bleep
me if you have to?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Doesn't she have the doesn't she have?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Like?
Speaker 9 (27:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
She does? I thought, I really, I thought I read
that somewhere that was that a fake story?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
News news?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Slurring his words, what are we what are we drinking?
What do we got? What do we got tonight. What
an open bar.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
I'm sorry, sir, I'm not sorry my words. I was
just kind of enunciating and.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You were enunciating. One man's enunciated. One man's enunciation is
another man. Can you can you breathe in the phone?
Can you breathe in the phone right now?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
All right? Sounds like Tony from the bay right there,
not drinking at all, No, no, just naturally an a hole,
That's that's all he is, just born.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
They should be careful.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Wendy Williams memory thing is alcohol and you know, oh

rocker and she loses.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
To the third degree, this is one thing that gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Sakwan.
Speaker 8 (36:39):
Barkley said in a news conference on Monday that he
hopes that his deal helps other backs earn deals that
make his look less like an outlier. He went on
to mention John Robinson, Jamier Gibbs, and James Cook. Yeah,
and do you think any of those guys will be
able to match or exceed at Barkley's contract?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
All Right, So I'm gonna go in and oh and
I'll put those together and I'm gonna go No. This
is a novel situation for Barkley. Everything lined up in
a row, and we've seen it with some of the
running backs that they've signed. I know they haven't been
too many so far, but he's on his own part
of the map. Barkley and Jamier Gibbs is good, and
(37:16):
James Cook's good, and Robinson and all those guys, but
they're just not considered the transcendent running back. So I
see no Evan and all those guys can get better.
And if they get better and then the teams get
to a Super Bowl, sure, but I'm not betting on
any of those things happening next.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
So the Thunder and the Calves have had the best
records in the NBA for much of the season, but
many have pigeonholed them as regular season powerhouses rather than
serious title contenders, And now some are saying, after this
past weekend, it's time to stop doubting them. Ben, are
you still doubting the Calves in the Thunder?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I am doubting the Calves. I know it seems crazy
they won all these games. I still would bet on
the Celtics if you gave me some funny money, I'd
bet on the Celtics over the Cavaliers in the playoff series.
Starting to buy into okay see, but then they went
out and lost to the Nuggets the other night. So
now I'm confused on on OKC but I believe more
in Oklahoma City than I do in Cleveland, and Cleveland
(38:10):
reminds me remember the Atlanta Hawks years ago. He had
like three or four all stars to a good regular
season seam. Mike Budenholzer was a coach, and then in
the playoffs they ran into I think it was Lebron's
team and that was it.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
They went they went out.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
So I think it's a similar situation that next.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
Angel Reese said in a recent interview that she's excited
for the new CBA and that WNBA owners if w
NBA owners don't give the players what they want, they
are sitting out now. Been the highest base salary in
the league last year was two hundred and forty two
thousand dollars. It'll undoubtedly go up. How high do you
think WNBA salaries will go?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Well, I don't I don't know the books.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I just I've read online that the WNBA has been
around since the nineties and they've never turned to profit.
So how I don't know how you can give race?
I mean, what do you do, Like, if you're the
WNBA ownership, you're like, well, wait, so you don't want
to work, and we won't lose as much money. Three
hundred thousand cool, but an extra sixty thousand. How we do?
He passes COLOREDO.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
I passed.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Why you will done? I got it done.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
You a winning season
