Ding No, it's our number two. Our number two is ready to go. And the question for you, how do you assess the latest developments between Airin Rogers and the Steelers. Rogers closing in on a contract to take his talents to Pittsburgh. Can you explain what is happening also with Russell Wilson and his free agent journey not going so well. Meanwhile, viral video over the weekend Bengal wide receiver Jamar Chase reently bought his dream Lamborghini and there was video posted if he and teammate t Higgins zooming around the streets of Miami. Your thoughts on that and more right now here. It is our number two, 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 Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere a consortium as we experienced the ultimate overnight voyage coast to coast, border to motor and beyond. On 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 tiraq dot com wait tire buying show. 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 watch tower 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 fortnite. 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, and 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 Manhangahila 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 urine. 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?
All right?
Anyway, so let us discuss the question, how do you assess the latest developments between Aaron Rogers and Petsburg 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, get a number. So we are heading towards a water. 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 Shore Now. Am I beyond maybe sending a insightful or leading message to these people that are Steeler friends? Eh, well, you're gonna get your Aaron Rodgers jersey. You go to 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 now, I would argue the last couple of years Ben Roethlisberger was there, he was a turd 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. The generations of fans for the Pittsburgh sities, 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 in the tooth 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 yinn and 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 win here, there and everywhere, and whoop, 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 then go to Rogers and what was your Tomlins 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's he's never never was an MVP level player, never got a single vote for the Most Valuable Player award. There'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 point, 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 possible the just rented to 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 thou minimum five hundred thousand of it's new, 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 look 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 expensive. 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 bed mash. 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 fine time. My money, all right, is the bed at Malor Show. If you would like to be part of this, you can join us right now. And there's a line open at eight seven seven ninety nine on five that's eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. Also on the X Machine at Ben Mahlor. That's at benmes. So it's not a done done deal that Rogers is going to Pittsburgh, but it's like a half halfway done, not quite out of the oven yet, but it's almost out of the oven. It's that kind of thing. And moving on from that, well, there is a saying that when you ban something, it becomes more popular. We'll see if that's true. If you ban something it becomes more popular. We'll get to that and we will do it next.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Bell Beller and You. It is the Ben Mahlor Show on a Monday, starting the week off right. Maybe not. You can interact with the show. It is an advantage you have those that listen, and the podcast numbers are supposedly pretty good. I don't know why, but the people listen live have a competitive advantage. The pod audience cannot interact to the live show. You can do it live. Say hello to Ben at Ben Mallor lorraina FSR tech queen and Disney fiend and Coop doal Loop wearing his Bronco cap but not the classic old school Bronco cap that I like the modern version and sola Coop at uh Bronco fan.

If you like Southeastern Conference teams, you're really in joining this Sweet sixteen. Seven of the sixteen teams from the Southeastern Conference and we are in the era of the death Valley for the mid major in college basketball. We began this hour with Air and Rogers, not quite breaking news yet, but it's upside down and the anticipation is something happening soon. Keep in mind, though, with Aaron Rodgers, he's probably gonna go back to Malibu and walk up and down, have a jug of ayahuasca. Maybe he'll pop up on the Joe Rogan podcast. Well, I assume he'll make the announcement with his buddy McAfee, who pays him like a million dollars a year to go on there. So I if somebody paid me a million dollars a year to do a ten minute hit on a radio show, I would certainly announce my plans on that show. That would be my move one hundred percent. So I assume that he'll announce it when he does hammer out the details on the docu sign, he'll announce it there. We'll take your calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also your witty comments, as we said on the X Machine, that's at Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Mahler if you'd like to be part and Late Night Drug Tester writes In says Aaron Rogers deva act will not play in Pittsburgh, no matter how desperate they are for a quarterback. No, I disagree. I disagree. It'll play as long as they're okay, as long as he's They put up with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, who both suck, all right, so deal with it. Alf the Alien of Pinter, has a fun fact he'd like to a fun fact, fun fact, fun fact, fun.
Fact, mallor fun fact.
In nineteen eighty eight, Wade Boggs had more doubles then swings and misses for the Boston Red Sox. That is your fun fact right there from from Alf. And also was that when he was dating Margot Adams. There's a name from the past and eating a lot of time.
Right.
No, no, no, this is the There was a pre social media scandal that only old people know about. But Wade Boggs was like this big star with the Red Sox and he was having a little side fun with this woman. Oh see yeah, Nick writes in Nick the Windy's Guy. He says, hey, buddy, Ben, Buddy, it's Nick the Windy's Guy here. I know you bash Minnesota. I do not bash Minnesota teams, But do you see the Vikings making a push for Justin Herbert or as that ship sailed? I saw that rumor over the weekend some Viking blog or Minnesota sports blog was tossing out there. That same rumor popped up a year ago because two reasons. Jim Harball is, even though he's not at Michigan anymore, he's a Michigan man, and he supposedly had a big bro man. It's not supposedly he did with JJ McCarthy. And so it is a logical rumor, and I wouldn't say it's impossible. Listen, the Dallas Mavericks gave away Luca Donzik for a half eaten bag of potato chips, So if that can happen. Sure the Chargers could wake up and say we're gonna trade Justin Herbert to the Vikings and give us JJ McCarthy and a first round pick and maybe two first round picks. Now would Minnesota do it? Because I look at a guy like Herbert as a stat bandito, as a West Coast Dak Prescott. He's not a big game player. He's been a terrible playoff quarterback and then a few opportunities he's had for the Chargers Justin Herbert and he's a guy that when you watch him on Sunday Night, Chris Collinsworth slobbers all over him, slopper, slapber, slobber, but he doesn't produce against better opponents. There's a lot of empty numbers there with Justin Herbert. If I were the Chargers, I would absolutely make that trade. If hardball Jim Harbaugh is totally sold on JJ McCarthy and that that's his guy, and he just coached Justin Herbert for a year and knows this guy's a mister softy and would rather be out there surfing, then I would absolutely make If I was the Charge, does I make that trade? I don't know how to make that trader on the Vikings though. I mean her Roe put up great numbers. Anybody in Minnesota is gonna put up great numbers because you've got two stud wide receivers. It's impossible to not put up. Sam Darnald put up good numbers with those wide receivers. And then what happened at the end when Sam Donald had to step up his game a little bit and suddenly he pooped the bed. It's called the phones, and let's say hello, any meaning money mo Let's hello to Jerome and Charleston. Hello Jerome, it's been a minute. Hello Jerome, Jerome and Charleston going once, going to I do not hear Jerome and Charleston. No, there he is, Oh man, thank god Hellelujah. Oh look at that. He took a shot. Jerome took a shot at the RAINA.
I'm like, why isn't he on six?
You might want to put that up there. That's usually the way that you have.
Sam will get like thirty something million dollars before the guarantees kicking. For Hey, he's not doing too bad. I hope he watched a lot of rains because I heard it. It raised a lot up there in Seattle. You know.
It raised a lot of a lot of places you having.
Do you have somebody on the side then, because you seem to know about people's personal life and who the what they're doing on the side a lot.
You know.
How do you know this stuff? Man?
Because he was in a newspaper forty years ago. That's how I know. I read it in a newspaper article and there was a lawsuit from the woman against like Wade bogs That's how I know it, and I remember it to have because I have a good memory chicken every day because I heard some Yeah. Wait, wait, Wade Boggs was famous for eating chicken every day. He was like that was his thing.
Oh, by the way, if you were talking about these players selling themselves to these different schools for money, oh, where have you lived the last two hundred years, Dan Maller? People have been doing that for forevers themselves for money. Somebody needn't tell their body.
Come on, all right, I'm glad, Jerome, the meds are not working anymore, Jerome. But that that make explain something to you because you're so bright. Okay, So yes, players, star players of ours got money. The difference is the mid major guys. Those guys normally didn't get the money, and they weren't being poached by the Power Conference teams, which is what's going on right now. If you're a halfway decent mid major player, let's say you're some three point sharpshooter and you're playing at some mid level team in D one, you will then be poached by Kentucky or by Florida or whoever fill in the blank that didn't happen before.
Let's tell you it's good enough for the dog on coaches, why shouldn't be good enough for the players?
Did I ever say, Jerome? Did I ever say, Joe, hello, is this on? Are we broadcasting? You might want to cut? Are you clean out your ears? Jerome? You got a lot of gunk in your ears. You got a lot of gunk inside your freaking ears. Okay, I never said it wasn't it wasn't okay for the players. I just merely said that this is the new dynamic now, and you're not gonna see under this current system any real Cinderella. It's not going to happen because of the way the system is now. That's all I say.
And it's about and it's about down town.
It's about time, Yes, it's about time.
There's no moral to anywhere in this world. Okay, nowhere when you gotta sound a prenups you agreement, there's no mod to anywhere. No one can do right.
Now?
Where you've been to?
Where?
Where have you been? By the way, where have you been?
Uh? I had to go to the doctor. I'm gonna have to have an operation. I'm not sureia on my leg? I got something growing on my leg. I gotta god.
Do you want to describe it to us?
Please?
Is it? Is it fungus? Do you have fungus growing in your legs?
No? No, no, no, that's like a lump, you know, a lump? Yeah, you talk about dad. I'm a man in chopping for years. Man, you're the only one who'll talk to me. And by the way, I saw Gottley's contract the other day. He's gonna be he's making two hundred grand for a lousy cooking junk.
Whoa how do you know everyone salary?
What? What do you?
Why do you know everyone salary? What's up with that? I don't understand way you know everyone salary? What's such? You're such a nosy, you're such a Karen. You're a Karen is what you are?
Because I'm smart.
That's why you're smart? All right?
Smart?
What's what's two plus two core? Are you sure about?
That's what's Ben Malland plus Ben Mallard?
Ben Mallard, Yeah, Ben, Ben Mallard plus Ben Maller is a headache? Is what that is? That's a headache. That's a headache.
Man.
Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that.
By the way, I hope Melland gets cushed by Florida because that guy from Merlous caught that game winning basket. He rock right in front of the stick in a fission.
You are such a dinosaur. There's no traveling in basketball. What's wrong with you? There's no traveling. They stop, they stop calling traveling thirty five years ago in basketball? Yeah when James, Yeah, you want to bring back the peach You want to bring back the peach basket. You want to bring that back to James Nasmith had a peach basket.
Commersion my last peach basket.
Yeah? Are you done nothing? All right? Hang up on yourself, go away? All right. Well, let's say hello to Danny DeVito, the Great Danny DeVito calling the show. Hello, Danny, Welcome, Welcome. What's going on, Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny. Since you started calling the show, we've had many trash men, fellow trash men call the show. Danny, you've inspired the hostile takeover by fellow trash employees.
Yeah. I thought I.
Heard one recently called from Minnesota. I love that. I hope they all call.
Yeah, we had one. We had one from Minnesota, We had one from San Francisco, and then apually you and I think we I got some other emails from trash guys. But anyway, go ahead, what's on your mind?
Yeah, Ben, what did you do yesterday? As far as the gambling goes, I got killed yesterday and I lost. The way I lost is pretty pretty sad.
I mean I lost sleep over it.
You know that first game Florida and Yukon.
Yes, yes, I had the under.
The under and that game I had the under and that game serious money and you know what.
Beat me right, which the very last shot.
I don't if you watched the game, there was a thirty five foot shot that meant nothing except.
For the total.
And the idiot he goes out there and hits it.
He goes out there and hits.
It just got I sucked and I started off my day. As you know, when you.
Lose like that, it basically is a sign that Yeah, the total was what one hundred and fifty and a half, and with that basket at the end, it was a one hundred and fifty two, So it.
Went over and you bet the under Yeah, you're probably you're probably thinking yet halftime, you're in pretty good shape. There was was it thirty one all and a half of them sixty two points midway through, so you're thinking, all right, I'm gonna win this.
That's I got that one exactly. Yeah, want chicken dinner. I really bet that sport then, because you know, I never watched it throughout the season like everybody else, but I watch it, you know when it's uh March madness, and I bet it.
Yeah. Yeah, see that's good. Well that and they also a lot of the places will shame you're like, yoh, you should bet hunderdogs, you know, but if you more times than not, if you bet the chalk, you'll end up you'll end up winning. And you're not. They say you're not supposed to do that because you know, you gotta bet the underdog. Everyone wants to bet the underdog and all that, but like look at look Dot like Duke. Duke was favored by thirteen, they won by what they were by twenty. They covered by thirteen as a number one seed Kentucky, they were I think they might have been actually an underdog in that game. But they covered at Kentucky against Illinois. I can go game by gamer you want, but don't want to hear that. But the point is that this was in this tournament. The favorites did very well, did very Yeah.
I had Duke on Friday, which is a rocky ship bet. I love that you sit there and you cash out, so it's failing pretty good going on a Sunday, and uh, you know you know how that goes. So I lost it.
So well, hey, just calm down. I I did not did not partake because I I have not watched enough to really have any real nuts. I'm waiting for baseball. I'm gonna go full Pete Rose here. Once opening Day comes around on Thursday. That's my that's my wheelhouse.
Yeah, that's that's gonna be stopping.
I'm soon.
So you you don't bet every.
Week or you better no, No, I don't. I My problem with Dan is I hate losing. So I like to pick my spots when I feel pretty confident. So I'm not like a daily guy. I don't have to have action every day. That's my problem. Maybe maybe maybe it's not my product. Yeah, you know so, but I respect it, Danny. If you're able to do it every day and you can handle the ups and downs, I can't handle the day, Yeah, I can't. You gotta be selected, man, I'm telling you, man, you can. You gotta pick your spots. You gotta pick your speck.
That's the whole thing.
Ben, Yeah, buddy, pick up some you go pick up some trash. There's a Danny DeVito checking in. Yeah, that's uh, that's stuff. And then they celebrate the eight nineteen parlays that win because that's a sucker's bet. They want you to bet those And it's an evil, evil cycle, is what it is. So if you ban something, it becomes more popular. There was a report over the weekend then at least twenty states in the United States here have banned from school. You see what they banned the rain. What do you think they've banned from school? Crocs? That is correct. You got it right, they banned croc from school. Dozens of schools in at least twenty states have banned crocs from being worn. They say there's there's a safety hazard.
I heard Disney was thinking about doing that, but I didn't hear about schools.
Doing Yeah, it's a big issue at schools. What is the safety hazard?
They don't stay on your feet well, and kids are tripping and falling. And also think about the playgrounds and the sticks that they have on the playgrounds. Think all the splinters that are happening.
Well, they're not supposed to be worn for an extended period of time.
That's isn't that like like the most popular shoe of like nurses.
Yes, they're for nurses.
Well, so then I don't think they do nurses. I think they have special nurse shoes. I think they have like nurse nurses love crocs.
Hey, nurses out there tap in?
No nurses listen to the show. They don't call them show, They don't call them show. They can send me an email or something like that. But no.
But I mean, if it's if it's safe enough for a nurse to wear what, I don't know.
It says it is an act fuel safety hazard. They can twist the knees, twist the ankles, things like that, and he says, this is happening. This is from a high school principal in Alabama said in the hallway, kids are moving, things are happening. It's a problem. It's an issue. Who knew, man, I've never been a crock guy. They're from Colorado. You know that they're the Crocks.

But also like to point out before I get to the instributa several people pointing out that the nurses do not wear crocs. They wear hokus or whatever those are.
Oh yeah, those are also very popular nurse shoes.
I agree. Well, people claiming that the report of crocs being worn by nurses erroneus very upset. Anyway, here's the ins to trivia, and here we go. Vladimir Guerrero Junior has two qualified seasons with at least a three to ten batting average. Blake is the only Toronto player to do so more then twice. That is the question. What is the answer? Bernie Mack guessed by a scrooge boy. He was good for the Blue Jays back in the Day, Benny Di Stefano from I forty Ian Pirates Legend, Tamar Hamlin who is twenty seven today from Late Night Drug Tester, Len Mattuzak from Miguel on Fire, Warren Jensen from Big Greg and Iowa CM Punk Guess by Rob in Vegas. Else we have Steve Bartman who wasn't wearing a glove like Rodney Pete from Fergnock Andy and Lionel Lake, says the wonder Hamster Matt Stairs, Alfredo Griffin, good name by alf the Alien, Oll pineer Lyle Alzado from Robin, Minnesota. Who else do we have Page Down? Danny Ainge unless it's not from BP, Paul Molitor from e in Roseville, Minnesota, Willie Upshot good name by Steve the Misplaced San Diegan, Roy Halliday from Justin and Cincinnati Boy, Wait way too soon with that? Who else do we have some bad take guy from the Commonwealth guests by Jason in Rocky Mount, Virginia. Who else? Paige Down? I can't read that, Perito, says Kelly Leak from Chico Bail Bonds Bears Team, John Alarude from Johnny Q Blue Jay's Legend, Marquise Grissom. I think he meant ex bo legend, big great rub All right, now, do you have an answer? It's not Colombo guests by Manuel and Guardina and Lorraina.
I was thinking Brittany Murphy, Ben.
Brittany mur Is it Brittany Murphy? Is that unfortunately incorrect? The correct answer would be none other than well, he died that long ago. Tony Fernandez. Tony Fernandez four seasons over three ten for the Blue Jays. It's maller. How about that?
To the third degree?
This is one big beent gets grilled Koulo.
Now, before the start of last season, it was reported that Ryan Tannehill's next death 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?
Well, I figure he Maria's family in Minnesota. It's a great place to live, not in the winter time, and enjoy their fine foods, good food city there in Minnesota. And he is no threat to JJ McCarthy. He is no threat, and he could probably make like ten million dollars as a backup, So yeah, why not for like ten million is a backup? Sure?
Hassan Reddick was one of the first free agent signings earlier this month when he inked a one year deal with the Buccaneers now the GM. Jason Light Yeah made a recent radio appearance where he said that he thought twenty twenty four was an aberration and that Reddit can get back to being an elite player in twenty twenty five.
Do you agree? Well, what is your definition of believe? He's never gonna get the money back that he lost his owner 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, he also over seven million next.
Kyrie Irving took unbridge with the notion that the map X 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 a 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 the Backs, blah blah blah blah blah. The Lakers the other night, didn't they shut down half their team because they're you gotta you know, you gotta save, you gotta play Bronni the gaming they lost who they playing that night? After the Bucks? 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? Kooboloop he passes that is a way you can.
Put it on the balloo.
I want James hollowing James. I want James
