The fitting of the herd well come in not beginning for us, So another week of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere making a connection as we come out of the shadows. Actually we broadcasts in the shadows. We're hanging out coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the mast and su zestfully powerful microphones of fsre am moinating live from the tire the Tire ract dot Com Studios tirac dot com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection of over ten thousand recommended installers tierraq dot com. The way tire buying should be a no Perrito very excited about the the number ten thousand, fired up for the number ten thousands. Our lead this hour as play the hits. Play the hits. One of the bosses around here like to say back in the day, play the hits. Don't bury the lead, my man Art, We're not gonna bury the lead. So we'll start with the madness of March. We have made it through the spectacle that is the first weekend, really the weekend of engagement, and it is one of the few events that we have that the excitement goes down. It starts at the krish and then goes the other direction. But we're down to the Sweet sixteen now and a rather uneventful, uneventful opening weekend, and we did have a couple of dramatic, somewhat dramatic Maryland game buzzer beater there to knock down and knock out Colorado State. It would be the moment of the weekend, the game that a couple of games that got my attention over the weekend. I went down in Flames with Rick Patino and Saint John's he lasted. Well, there's a joke there about how long Saint John's lasted, But I think you know the joke, and I don't need to go down to that level to make the joke about how long Saint John's lasted, and you don't really care about my bracket. You don't worry about your bracket, so it's not really that important. But on Sunday, the game that I circled that I was I kind of want to watch this more than the other games was Yukon and the Florida Gators. I was like, all right, again, we got something there. Yukon code famously went out and had a little nice dinner, played foot seat with the Lakers and then said screw you. I'm saying right where I am, you losers, and I love that. I thought that was great. He stuck it to the Lakers and talked about Dan Hurley, the coach at Connecticut, so Yukon trying for a three peat, that the back to back champions coming in to play on Sunday, and a game that came down close. Game came down to the bitter and a nail bier. It was a nail bier, but in the end, the Gator chop gets it done. The Florida Gators the number one seed and they're part of the bracket there. They win seventy seven, seventy they said the little we do not have the number one. Lorrain is busy, she was busy talking. So there we go. Now we have the number one. The number one was down. Oh my god. All right, so that means for Connecticut turn at the last, the parties over. They're done, the number eight seed out as they have been exterminated from the NCAA tournament. Now, what happened after the game is to me, the more interesting part of the story, the better story is in the losing locker room. And so there was a viral malmey that took place after the game out of he saw it. Not maybe you didn't see it, but Dan Hurley was caught on candid camera as he was stomping off the court there and he had a profane message to the team that was going to follow Yukon and Florida on the court there in Raleigh, as a grainy cell phone footage captured Dan Hurley seemingly admonishing the referees, putting the finger of blame on the officials as he entered the bowels of the arena there in North Carolina. As he went viral, he said, I hope they don't blank you like they blanked us. I think you can figure out what the blank is there. I hope they don't do that to you Baylor, And what turns out, apparently they did because Baylor was pulverized by Duke in their game. So the story here is Dan Hurley and he's the headliner there for Connecticut basketball. He has been called out by someone say internet trolls. Other people say they're supporting truth, justice and sportsmanship way, but either way, people were upset saying that the head coach there of Yukon, it was unbecoming of Dan Hurley what he did. He acted like a toddler that had a conniption fit. So let us discuss the question did Dan Hurley embarrass himself and Yukon for being a sore loser as he walked off the court. So I've got Bruski medicine, cabinet and guianty and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to make a to Ducan is what We're going to make a nice to Ducin to make the agony go away. Enjoy your to Duck, and so a to answer the question, does Dan Hurley to embarrass himself for being a sort loser I'm shaking my head. No, I don't have that. I didn't write that on my note card. I did not write that on my note card. And to me, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I didn't see anything there. He calmed down and gave some poetic quotes to the assembled media later on. But the raw emotion of ath lotic competitions Hurley's walking off the court here, now, I wish my take was diff It'd be better talk radio for oh Man. Dan Hurley's a douche canoe, and man, what a loser. I don't feel that way. I know there's a natural reaction. He's not a gracious loser. Did anyone think Dan Hurley was anything but an angry loser when his team loses? Like? Is this some kind of revelation from basketball nation? Seriously? And I'm okay with it. I'm okay with why last I checked, this is not a Saturday morning at the YMCA teaching little children about how to play basketball and sportsmanship. Dan Hurley all right, for better or worse. His favorite ruski is Modello. He's got that fighting spirit and I like that. I like that passion to passion play, and I think it's good as newt Rockney and others have been credited with saying, when it comes to wins and losses, wins and losses, you show me a good loser, and I will show you a loser. And so Hurley's not a good loser. We know that. And let's be real. He's a professional coach. Dan Hurley is a professional coach. He's making eight million dollars a year, over eight million dollars a year to coach in a sleepy college town in Connecticut. And this is the test. The NCAA tournament is the test. No one watches college basketball other than the tarnetentles. You're a degenerate gambler. You're not watching college basketball other than March madness. So this is the only time that matters. And he felt that his team was aggrieved by the referees and he was upset by it, and that was his reaction. But we know, we know about Dan. The guy is a convicted whack adoodle. He is a whack adoodle. A lot of these coaches are whack of doodles. Well, the players are whackadoodles, all right. This is not a natural thing. That's the way it is. He's a professional coach, Dan Hurley. The players are making money, they're professionals, anil deals. It's professional basketball. That's what it is. Student athlete, my fat ass student. It was never student athlete. They're always getting money in envelopes. Now they're getting it right out in front. Well, Dan Hurley, none of that story. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about it a little bit on the air, but they did a deep dive on what makes Dan Hurley tick. And you know, he burns sage to ward off bad jujuu, and he sprints his holy water on the court. He's got bags of garlic bulbs he walks around with to keep evil spirits away. He's going for it. He's doing all that. He's got all that stuff in his repertoire, and so that's who he is. He eats the same lucky blue m and ms before every game, like he's got this routine. He only eats the color blue unless the other team has the opponent has the color blue, and then he's got to switch it up and eat like a red or a green, depending on what color they have. So snapping like Dan Hurley did, on brand, it's on brand. We're fine with we're good, all right now, turning the page. So we also had a number of complaints over the weekend. Michigan State, which has advanced coach Tom Good Old Tom is He's one of the old old codgers, still hanging out. So Tom is Oh. And then UCLA's mccron was eliminated over the weekend. But both coaches is Oh and mc cronin were grumbling. They got that grumbling tummy over the weekend. They were complaining about what what were they complaining about? Oh, my god, we've got to play those late games, my god, so late. Yeah, they were complaining about the late start times in the NCAA tournament. And the question do you have any empathy for Tomo at Michigan State and Mick cronin at UCLA, both of them giving the bad body language and the grumbling about the start times for their teams, and UCLA has been eliminated Michigan State plays on so on this one thumbs up, thumbs down, I go thumbs down. I do not do not have empathy. Do not have empathy for either one of these guys. And my advice, unsolicited overnight sports radio advice, is to go down to the medical cabinet. Medicine cabinet you have there, and open it up on the second shelf, not the first, not the top shelf, the second shelf right in the middle, the middle shelf of the medicine cabinet. There's a little white bottle. And you take that little white bottle and you open it up. It's got the child lock on it. You twist it a little bit. You gotta squeeze down and then twist you open it up. You take one pill out, not two, not three to one pill. It's a no dose and it's called caffeine. And you can stamp. It's an amazing thing. Suck it up, buttercup, okay. And why why it's a TV show? Right? It's a TV show. And if you have a chance to be on a TV show that pays a lot of money, you do it whenever they want you to do the TV show. That's the way that it works. In the NCAA Men's basketball tournament has multiplied television revenue nearly seventy times in the last forty years. Let me repeat that for those of you a little slow in the back of the room. The NCUBLEA as a television show has increased revenue nearly seventy times since the early nineteen eighties. Is there any other TV show that has seen that kind of revenue increase consistently? Probably not one point one billion a year. One point one billion a year. So this is a teachable moment. Now, what is the lesson? The lesson? Those that make the gold, make the rules, and the ones that make the gold are TV. And thus the TV advertisers who have this weird, this weird formula that they have where they spread all the games out to certain television windows and they determine where they can get the most bang for their buck. And that's the way that it goes. And if they tell you to play at two in the morning, then you should be like you're in the United States Marines and say sir, yes, sir, okay, we're there. We'll be happy to do it. Now that said, there is something that Mick Cronin said. There is something that Mick Cronin said that I completely am lockstep with. He complained about the Allegsion Air flight back to Los Angeles. He did not seem to appreciate the quality of Allegianaire. Now, to be fair, I have not flown Allegianaire. I have friends that have and have not said kind things, have not said kind things. So I can't say firsthand that I've had a bad experience, but I have had people in my circle that have not had very kind things to say about Allegionaire. But you think this is kind of big business and they should be able to I don't know, afford something that you don't have to pedal power to have the thing take off. But what do I know? All right? Anyway, all right, now, last word here. So we have now whittled down, down, down, down down. We have whittled down the NCAA tournament field from sixty eight teams to sixteen teams. And how do you dissect the clear and obvious lack of Cinderella. Cinderella is not there. There is no Cinderella in the Sweet sixteen of March Madness? So how do you dissect this? So I have, after a special minutes long mallar dissection, I have determined this is industrial strength chalk. Is what this is? Obviously it's industrial strake chalk. So the Sweet sixteen the total seed value, you know they add up the seeds fifty five? What does that mean? In Layman's terms. So it means the average seed going forward now that we've made it through the first weekend is three point four to four is the average seed. The only the only team that is worse than a six is one team worse than a six. I believe it's John Calipari and Arkansas. Does anyone think that at John Calipari Arkansas team counts as a upstart team? Probably not right. And twenty oh seven, you go go back. That's I mean, I was barely alive in twenty I was a little baby in twenty oh seven. No, I wasn't here doing shows. No, twenty oh seven was the last time that we had this kind of a trucky micchalk situation in the sweet sixteen and that was a no team worse than a seven seed. That was twenty oh seven, So you do the math on that, and which was twenty twenty five, And so that's eighteen years ago. That's a long time. So if you were born in twenty oh seven, you've just gotten out of like high school now and you're off to the to the real world. So I would say, welcome to the new normal. I'm gonna go Conspiracy theory guy. I'll go tinfoil hat guy. It was a song years ago that said video killed the radio star. I would argue that Nil took the guillotine and beheaded the upstart Cinderella the mid major. That it's a guillotine to the Cinderella. Here's why name image like this what. I'm not against it. It seems a little bit out of control to me, But I'm not against it. Right. I'm the guy that ranted from the bullied paulp and it's ridiculous, you know, just say it kept saying student athlete. These guys should get paid over the table. They got paid over the table. Fine, but name amagen likeness. Poaching. It's like whaling and you hear stories about I don't know how much that's true or not, but the whaling back in the sixties and they just destroyed the whale population out in the oceans and all that. But the poaching. If you're halfway decent at a mid major, you're not staying at a mid major. You're not There is a dramatic decline of the underdog, the first sign of life you have. If you're a mid major player and they're always on the hunt, they're always on the prowl at these major schools, and they're gonna snatch you away and give you a giant check. If you're a diamond in the rough, you're not going to be in the rough for very long. So for me, I can't count John Coli part I cannot count as an underdog. So for me, I gotta go BYU, that Tater tot guy, the tat top bloodline guy. That's gotta be the dog, right, That's gotta be the underdog BYU, Tater Tod guy, grandfather invent of the Tator Todd the kid. For BYU, that's gotta be the one.

A star of childhood television if you're of a certain age. Mister Rogers Neighborhood was in Pittsburgh. It was based on Pittsburgh, and now the NFL version of Mister Rogers Neighborhood this close to heading to the Burg. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere a consortium as we experienced the ultimate overnight voyage coast to coast, border the motor and beyond the mast and vivaciously powerful microphones of FSR AMMA nating live from the box, the condescending and patronizing chatterbox on Fox as we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot Com studio.

So our lead this hour is from Footbool. We'll get back to the collegiate basketball at some point here as we're down to the sweet sixteen, and everyone chames you if you pick chalk. But if you pick chalk, you're doing very well. If you pick chalk, you're doing very well in the NCAA tournament. But our leaders from football in the berg and while you were away, well you might have been here, but we weren't here. We were away from the guard shack. As we have the watchtower overlooking the sports world in the middle of the night, the graveyard shift and we do the podcast on the weekends, and so we're not manning the fortit. I did mention a heavy sporty monologue on Saturday reacting to the death of George Foreman over the weekend, the Foreman grill will live on forever, and well not forever, but for a while. And then also some of the NFL news. But we have a time to go a little deeper. It's missed some new developments here involving Aaron Rogers, who had a clandestine trip to western Pennsylvania in a not so not so private get together, very public, very public. Right there at the confluence of the Manahangahila and the Alleghany, the creation of the Ohio River. There was Aaron Rodgers in all his goy So if you've not heard the latest on this, some new developments over the weekend, we're now hearing that it appears to be green light, go stay tuned safe. Bet is the way it's being described that Aaron Rodgers, it is anticipated, will sign a contract to play professional football with the Pittsburgh football team. Say why yeah. The reporting over the weekend, if you missed it, is that Aaron Rodgers is going to end up with the Steelers. He's forty one. He spent six hours. Can you imagine six hours? What do you do for six You look at the weight room, okay, what's that take twenty minutes. You go look at the facilities. Okay, you look at the urinal Okay, there's a urinal cake in there. That takes another twenty minutes. You meet with the coach for about an hour, You have lunch. That's an hour. What are we at maybe three hours? Six hours? What are you doing for six hours? What the hell are you doing? Anyway? So let us discuss the question how do you assess the latest developments between Aaron Rogers and Pettsburg Steelers. So I've got Buzz light Year Registry and Vin Diesel, and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, which I believe I've mastered the pastrami sandwich. I made one over the weekend. Chef's kiss, Just a chef's kiss is what it was, all right? So numb I said number, I get a number. So we are heading towards a waterloo moment. We know where we're going here, and our long national nightmare is inching closer to a resolution. Now, part of me loves this because I have a lot of people in my circle that are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers and also people that like to take shots at Aaron Rodgers, and so to see these two worlds collide, I'm just gonna sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and just enjoy the show buttered popcorn and just enjoy joy. Sure, now, am I beyond maybe sending a insightful or leading message to these people that are Steeler friends. You're gonna get your Aaron Rodgers jersey, you know, knock yourself out there. Yeah, but my theory is concept. But you don't go to Pittsburgh in the months of March and the month of March unless you're ready to not sign on the dotted line, but do the docu sign. Unless you're ready to do the docu sign. It's a matter of when it happens, not if it's going to happen. At this particular point, there's really no other good options. The giants blow, the vikings don't really seem all in. So it's unless something magical pops out of thin air, that's it. Right. There has been a public bromance. What up, bro, There's been a bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin that has played out for a couple of years. But if you look at the Steelers and what they have done, I would argue the last couple of years Ben Roethlisberger was there, he was a turn that he went very good. But if you look overall Pittsburgh the last couple of years they had Roethlisberger, it's continued through the Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph that directly put out there last year with Justin Fields and also mister unlimited Russell Wilson. That has been a temporary job. The Pittsburgh quarterback job is a temp job, and so you put Aaron Rodgers out there, it's a big name, it's an MVP name, but in reality, it is another buzz light Year band aid. It's a little kid's band aid with that buzz light Year on it, and that's what it is. It's a turnstop. That job is a turnstile job at this particular point, which is fine. They keep making the playoffs there. Rogers did an absolute belly whopper with the Jets and now here we are. He's a year older forty one. At this point, he looks to be on the other side of the wash, the other side of the tracks, and it's not going well. But I love it. I love it. The Steelers are a high profile team, even though you say Pittsburgh's not a big market. That is one of the legacy teams in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers that have fans everywhere. I know when the Steelers, I can do the show from Los Angeles, when the Steelers come to LA they might as well be in Pittsburgh. It is a packed house of Yinzer lovers there, and that's everywhere the Steelers go. They're one of the great draws on the road that fans all over the place, still benefiting from Terry Bradshaw and the nineteen seventies Steel Curtain defense back in the day. So they've got that. There's generations of fans for the Pittsburgh Steelers. We get that. So it's a highly combustible situation, which is good for people like me. You look at it and you've got the long the twoth quarterback who still thinks he can play in Aaron Rodgers. He's the agent provocateur. You've got the firebrand quarterback, mixed with the long tenured coach who's got Supreme Justice Supreme Court justice tenure in Mike Tomlin. You mix together the polarizing look at me wide receiver George Pickens, who now has to take a back seat to another devil wide receiver, DK Metcalf who got the bag. Both those guys are capable of dominating, absolutely dominating, and also dominating in a negative way. So you got the yin and the yangt wide receiver, and you've got all these ingredients, and I'm down for it. I'm in, I'm in. And the reason why I have a daily talk show I have to do every night, I have to come in here. I have four hours of talk radio I have to do. And it's more fun when you have this type of situation. If it works, mozletom, congratulations, right, if it works, good for you. Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow and all that playoff when here, there and everywhere, and uh whoo, be damned, Fluke, run to the plubs now if it flops. If it flops, great for guest baggery. It is a situation. If you look at it from the outside, it's you've got inflammatory comments, guarantee, right guarantee. Because every every week Rogers will hang out with Pat McAfee, they'll do their little grab ass. He'll maybe do a couple of Joe Rogan interviews as spots and say something zany and crazy and all that, and then Mike Tomlin will be asked to comment about what Rogers said, and then Tom's not gonna want to comment, so we'll say some stupid thing and then that'll that'll then go to Rogers and what was your Tomlin said? And then they'll go back and forth. And it's a win win situation from a content standpoint, it's a win win all right. Now, page two, So can you explain the other quarterback here? Can you explain what is happening in Russell Wilson's universe, his free agent sojourn, his journey around the NFL. So on this one, I'm relating to Russell Wilson because I know what it's like to be picked last. I know what it's like. That's what Russell Wilson's going through. Welcome to my world, Russ, Welcome to my world, mister last picked on the playground. I know what that's like. I know what that's like Russ, and that's reality. That is the situation that Russell Wilson's in. He is a declining asset and he never was an MVP level player. He never got a single vote for the Most Valuable Player award. He's always a guy that benefited from being on a great defensive with a great defensive team in Seattle, the Legion of Boom and all that stuff. But right now he finds himself on the registry. He is on the do not call registry, and that's the way it is right now. As Sean Payton and Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton the last year Russ was in Denver and Tomlin last year were able to hide the many moles, the warts that Russell Wilson in his game has And the real ones know, though, the real ones know that Russ was toast. And you can only put so much lipstick on to cover up the many flaws and the imperfections and all that stuff, and at some point you just look like a clown and it's just not good at all. And Russell Wilson has met with the Browns, Speaking of clowns, they met with the Browns and also the Giants, another clown operation. They're the New York Giants. And so mister unlimited, fair to say, is not in demand. You don't get all warm and fuzzy. You don't win the day when you hire Russell Wilson, who's washed up as your quarterback. That is not something that happens these types of aging or quarterback that doesn't want to give it up. A diamond doesn't. Diamond doesn't. And so but Russell will get a job somewhere, whether it's right now, or somebody gets hurt during the off season or in training camp, someone will bring bring him in now. Final So the Ben Gals, that's a football team, not a good one. They didn't make the playoffs last year. So Cincinnati wide receiver Jamar Chase, he apparently read this over the week and he bought his They say he bought it. I don't know if he rented it or bought it. There's different reports. One report said he rented it, another said he bought the Lamborghini. I guess there's video of him saying he bought it. But after he signed that record setting contract, highest paid wide receiver in NFL history. So there was some video posted on the socials that showed Jamar Chase zooming around the streets of Miami, which I've been to Miami. You can't really drive that fast in Miami, but he was zooming around or trying to with teammate T Higgins. And your thoughts on the viral video which has made the rounds here of the Bengals wide receivers enjoying a nice leisurely drive around South Florida. So my first thought was Vin Diesel Baby, that's Vin Diesel Fast and the Furious, like thirty three. I think they're up to thirty three now. Just that was what it was. And I also thought of the movie that I saw years ago, the documentary Bankrupt. I thought of that, and people say that a fool and his money are soon parted, but it's possibly just rented the cars. I'm not sure whether they rented them or bought them. And they bought them, then you can goof on them and you know, hey, that's the way it goes. But that Lamborghini, that's a five hundred thousand, minimum five hundred thousand of it's new Lamborghini. So that's half a million right there, plus the insurance on that, get maintenance. Good luck on that what could possibly go wrong? And they looked like the other cars were McLaren's in the video that I saw. I'm a car guy, car guy, so I thought McLaren's possibly there. And hey, you know, as the line goes, we all know this as dudes, you know, we grow older and we don't stop playing with toys. The toys just get more expense if they're bigger and more expensive the older you get. And that's just the way life is. And then you check out and that's it game over all. Right, it is the Ben Masher. But as long as those guys are not going full like Oakland, Las Vegas Raider wide receiver guy, you know what I'm saying, And you know, smashing in any cars and killing people and whatever, go ahead, knock yourself out, have a fun time my money.

A star of childhood television if you're of a certain age. Mister Rogers Neighborhood was in Pittsburgh. It was based on Pittsburgh, and now the NFL version of Mister Rogers Neighborhood this close to heading to the Burg. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere a consortium as we experienced the ultimate overnight voyage coast to coast, border the motor and beyond the mast and vivaciously powerful microphones of FSR AMMA nating live from the box, the condescending and patronizing chatterbox on Fox as we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot Com studio. Tyraq dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars and o' stevie Meatballs in Florida loves that number ten thousand ti iraq dot com the way tire buying show me. So our lead this hour is from Footbool. We'll get back to the collegiate basketball at some point here as we're down to the sweet sixteen, and everyone chames you if you pick chalk. But if you pick chalk, you're doing very well. If you pick chalk, you're doing very well in the NCAA tournament. But our leaders from football in the berg and while you were away, well you might have been here, but we weren't here. We were away from the guard shack. As we have the watchtower overlooking the sports world in the middle of the night, the graveyard shift and we do the podcast on the weekends, and so we're not manning the fortit. I did mention a heavy sporty monologue on Saturday reacting to the death of George Foreman over the weekend, the Foreman grill will live on forever, and well not forever, but for a while. And then also some of the NFL news. But we have a time to go a little deeper. It's missed some new developments here involving Aaron Rogers, who had a clandestine trip to western Pennsylvania in a not so not so private get together, very public, very public. Right there at the confluence of the Manahangahila and the Alleghany, the creation of the Ohio River. There was Aaron Rodgers in all his goy So if you've not heard the latest on this, some new developments over the weekend, we're now hearing that it appears to be green light, go stay tuned safe. Bet is the way it's being described that Aaron Rodgers, it is anticipated, will sign a contract to play professional football with the Pittsburgh football team. Say why yeah. The reporting over the weekend, if you missed it, is that Aaron Rodgers is going to end up with the Steelers. He's forty one. He spent six hours. Can you imagine six hours? What do you do for six You look at the weight room, okay, what's that take twenty minutes. You go look at the facilities. Okay, you look at the urinal Okay, there's a urinal cake in there. That takes another twenty minutes. You meet with the coach for about an hour, You have lunch. That's an hour. What are we at maybe three hours? Six hours? What are you doing for six hours? What the hell are you doing? Anyway? So let us discuss the question how do you assess the latest developments between Aaron Rogers and Pettsburg Steelers. So I've got Buzz light Year Registry and Vin Diesel, and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, which I believe I've mastered the pastrami sandwich. I made one over the weekend. Chef's kiss, Just a chef's kiss is what it was, all right? So numb I said number, I get a number. So we are heading towards a waterloo moment. We know where we're going here, and our long national nightmare is inching closer to a resolution. Now, part of me loves this because I have a lot of people in my circle that are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers and also people that like to take shots at Aaron Rodgers, and so to see these two worlds collide, I'm just gonna sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and just enjoy the show buttered popcorn and just enjoy joy. Sure, now, am I beyond maybe sending a insightful or leading message to these people that are Steeler friends. You're gonna get your Aaron Rodgers jersey, you know, knock yourself out there. Yeah, but my theory is concept. But you don't go to Pittsburgh in the months of March and the month of March unless you're ready to not sign on the dotted line, but do the docu sign. Unless you're ready to do the docu sign. It's a matter of when it happens, not if it's going to happen. At this particular point, there's really no other good options.

Before the start of last season, it was reported that Ryan Tannehill's next desk would be very selective about his next destination. It would need a compelling opportunity to move his family from Nashville. Oh, sure, he didn't sign with anyone, but now it's being reported that the Vikings consider him a potential option. Ben, do you think Minnesota would be a compelling enough opportunity?

Do you agree, Well, what is your definition of believe? He's never gonna get the money back that he lost his unner and salary, the bonuses that he lost. One of the great debacles in recent NFL history, he lost approximately seven million dollars. I would need therapy. I would need meds if I lost seven million. Can he be a good rusher? He's been a good rusher. Is he gonna dominate the Tampa Bay defense? I'm gonna go no on that. So I'm gonna disagree with the overly optimistic general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But if I'm him, I mean, oh my god, you've also over seven million.

Next, Kyrie Irving took unbridge with the notion that the Mavericks were to blame for his ACL injury, saying I led the leagues in a minute, so the f what He also went on to say, if he asked ninety five percent of the league if they would rather be playing fifteen minutes or thirty five minutes to night, I guarantee you ninety five percent of them would say thirty five minutes.

Do you think that's true, Ben, No, not at all. The players have been brainwashed the dogma of the nerds that you know, you gotta take care of your body, don't play back to backs, blah blah blah blah blah. The Lakers the other night, didn't they shut down half their team because there you gotta you know, you gotta save. You gotta play Brownnie. They gave me they lost who they playing that night after the Bucks they just shot down. All these guys buy into that stuff. So I disagree with Kyrie. They all believe it. How did we do? Kobolo?
