What happened?

What happened?

Was there a big move? No, there was not. But as the dust settles settles down in the quarterback shuffle comes to a halt. We mentioned in a previous hour that mister unlimited Russell Wilson has found a new home. He's heading to the New York Football Giants that play across the Hudson there in New Jersey, And so you can eliminate him from the board. And by the process of elimination, that means more likely than not that Aaron Rogers is taking his talents to the Land of the insur or to Malibu if they get an expansion franchise. So the Vikings have decided to avoid Temptation Island. It would appear that they have decided they're not going to add a veteran quarterback, at least not right now. And that means what well. JJ McCarthy chimed in on his situation, if you will, in the landscape in Minnesota and what's going on. So if you didn't hear what he had to say, perhaps not. JJ McCarthy saying that the Vikings have not have not informed him that he will be the team starting quarterback in twenty twenty five. McCarthy telling podcast this Week that the Minnesota coaching staff have not officially named him the top quarterback there, and so he's like, I'm just you know, going shown up. And of course he said this from some golf course in Mexico for some reason why he was there. I'm sure there was something he was promoting. JJ McCarthy. So yeah, So the Vikings say they're not pursuing Aaron Rodgers at this time, and yet they have not named McCarthy. At the top of the depth chart, so let us discuss the question, what do you read in to JJ McCarthy not not being told that he is QB number one number of the vikings in twenty twenty five. So I've got dressing the Wheel and doctor Evil, and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to make a juicy lucy. That's the local culinary delight there in Minnesota. The juicy losey cheeseburger with the cheese on the inside. That's the way to do it, all right. So we'll put all these things together. We'll make some magic now. Number number one, that's right, number one. So in terms of McCarthy not getting the top designation on the Minnesota depth chart, so I give this whole thing side I. That's my first thought here. You don't get caught up in the semantics, right, don't get caught up in the semantics and all that stuff. It's all being telegraphed. It's all being telegraphed there in Minnesota. You say, we're not interested in Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson signs justin fields. All the other quarterbacks are off the board other than Joe Flacco and guys like that. But the big names are off the board. So you look around and you say, all right, what's going on here? Quarterback carousels slowing down, down, down, down, down down down, and what do you got? What do you got? Well, the only other option would be reacquiring Kirk Cousins from the Atlanta football team. Good luck on that. Yeah, that's unlikely. And so McCarthy, you know, he says he does not. He has not been formally named. The verbiage formally named QB one there. That is dressing, is what it is. It is not salad dressing, No, not thousand isles or the Devil's Blood ranch dressing. No, no, no, it's window dressing. That is what it is. Coming off knee surgery in the exhibition season that cost him his entire rookie season, his entire rookie campaign, McCarthy was snap crackle pop. He was out. McCarthy would would have to publicly defecate on the Viking logo at the fifty yard line and then go to each end zone and urinate in the end zones in order for him to not to not end up as the starting quarterback when the season begins. And do you really need to formally name a starting quarterback at this particular point. The other quarterback the Vikings have on their roster is Brett Rippon. If Brent Rippin is on your roster, things are not going well. I think you have a terrible blind spot on your football team. You just do and unless the Vikings pull a horseshoe out of their badonka donc and do the unthinkable, the unimaginable and pull off some kind of trade for Justin Herbert, which had been mentioned in some clickbait stories last week from people desperate for attention that run logs in Minnesota. So outside of that, don't hold your breath. And so you're like, all right, at this particular point, Mike McCarthy, not Mike McCarthy, JJ McCarthy, JJ McCarthy is going to be the starting quarterback and outside of another snap crackle, Pop is going to put up at least above average umber. Sam Darnold went out and put up pretty good regular season numbers because of the quarterback friendly offense of Kevin O'Connell. You've got Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in a decent tight end. Is still a little bit left in the tank for TJ Hockinson. So you're in decent shape now page two. Test. Since he said and Natty we Go and the ben Gals, the Bengals have decided that no moss on the trade. The trade talks involving all pro defensive star Trey Hendrickson have come to an end. Does this mean that a new contract is about to be announced? Not so fast, my friend, No, that is not the case. Hendrickson was given permission to shop his warars at the flea market of the NFL to go around and find a deal. And how's that working out?

Well?

Well?

According to Jordan Schultz, the guy that loves a good Starbucks, Donning Brook, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports telling us the trade is DA at this point, dead on arrival, as the Bengals are no longer no longer considering a Trey Hendrickson trade. Instead, they want to pay him. They would like them him. So how do you classify the latest reporting on the status of Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati? So it is a wheel, right, this is the wheel I classified as the wheel of fortune, meaning that Trey Hendrickson's going to win a big pile of money on the wheel of fortune. Now, whether that's in Cincinnati or not. I'm still not buying that. There's no chance of trade happens these things. There's up and down, there's the EBB and the flow of this. And so right now, as of a few hours ago, Trey Hendrickson was off the the trade market. But he's going to get paid either way. And so it's an if he proposition still whether the Bengals actually pony up the money because they gave all their wide receivers and their quarterback money, and so the defense sucked with Trey Hendrickson. The defense can suck without Trey Hendrickson. No contract, to my knowledge, has been signed. So as long as a contract has not been signed, the t's crossed and the the eyes dotted. As long as that hasn't happened, right then there's still some skin in the game. There's still some opportunity here. And if you look at the future, it's like a nautical chart here, it's like a nautical chart. With Trey Henderson, go any direction, whichever direction the tide takes you. I can go out to see maybe a big wild wave will come up and all that. But the Bengals, it's been about three weeks In fact, I think it's almost been exactly three weeks since the Bengals said, go out and find a trade. So Trey Henderson, from what we're being told, he went out and found multiple teams that were willing to trade him and pay him. Multiple teams, all right, we'll give you the money we got you. We're good, we'll pay you. All right, So he went out and found teams that would like to trade him and pay him, and the Bengals hung up. They said, ah, we're good, we don't want to do it, and they worked out the financials and all that. There were some issues about the trade compensation. There's some questquestions about that, but Cincinnati claims they never received a fair market offer, although there's other people debating whether that's true or not. All right, now, final point, we go to college basketball. That's right, college basketball now. It's all dead right now until Thursday. So we have to get through the rest of Wednesday, and then it's on again Thursday night, the Sweet sixteen, and that'll be taking place Thursday, and then again on Friday, and then by the end of the weekend will be down to the final four. The thinning of the herd, The road to the Alamo, the road to San Antonio for the Final Four. But the story in college basketball involving the portal. And here's the question, do you have a word or words for more than one thousand, more than one thousand, d one men's basketball players that have already entered the transfer a portal. This thing just opened up on Monday and we're already over a thousand players that have entered the portal. So I've got well, I've got a couple of words. My words are opportunistic mercenaries. That is what they do. And I get it. I listen, I would do the same thing. I did a show this week with a guy that was a big star back in the eighties, Rodney Pete, college star, and I was I would say, hey, Rodney, you know, you would probably make a ton of money changing schools and all that. And he then pointed out he was a big star at USC back in the day, and he's like, I would have gotten the bag at USC. I would not have needed to go from school to school. The school. But you look around and you talk about soldiers of fortune and it's like Doctor Evil from Austin Powers And the best part of the transfer portal. The very best part is that no one can stop the players from relocating. Can't do it. It's all about chasing the bag, is what it is. The relentless pursuit of wealth and prosperity is what it is. If you do some Malor math, you do the Malord math on this. There are three hundred and sixty five NC DOUBLEA Division one schools. My math is correct, it's right around there, so in three sixty three sixty five, I think it's three sixty five all the way from the team that won the championship to our friend Gottlieb's Green Bay team, so they're all over the map. And each team, as I understand, it has fifteen scholarships available. So you do the math on that. That means there are a maximum of scholarship athletes five four hundred and seventy five. Are you staying with me, There'll be a ven diagram on this. So five hundred, four hundred and seventy five total available scholarships D one men's basketball. So if you take away the players that are no longer eligible meeting, they've graduated and they can't continue to play or they have no eligibility to laugh That means, if my malor math is correct, that two out of every ten college basketball players have requested to go to a different school twenty percent. And it's only been a day now. A lot of these deals are done way in advance. These guys are out shopping their wares in the transfer portal, even before the transfer portal opens up, and they've got a little side hustle, little deal, a little shuffle, and they find new teams. It is the isn't that crazy? Twenty percent? It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part, you can join us here and say hello at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also on the phones, add say hello there at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. If you'd like to be part in the h hot tub time machine has landed, So we'll open that up and we'll see what's in the hot tub time Machine. We will get to that. Also, at some point later this hour, we will have the somewhat popular Twin Notes. We'll bring Twin Notes back. We'll get to that. We'll do it all, and we will do it next.
