Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for listening to the Ben Mallers Show podcast. It's me Ben. Be sure to catch us live every weeknight from two to six Eastern eleven pm the three am Pacific right here on Fox Sports Radio. You can find your local station for the Ben Maller Show over at Fox Sports Radio dot com, or stream us live every night on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Hello and welcome. It's our name or four hour four of our radio program, Another day and more radio silence coming out of Northern Ohio. The Browns are stuck with the white Elephant of the NFL, so we need to help them out. We're gonna help them out now better fit for Baker Mayfield, the Giants, the Buccaneers, or the Mystery team. Talk about that and more right now here. It is our number four. It is not just your regular field, it's a Mayfield. Well come in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show, and we are side by side in the air everywhere as we are men of many words, coast, stuck, coast, border, the order and beyond on the mast and colossally powerful microphones of f s are emanating live from another dimension, a dimension of only sound in mind to the boundaries of imagination. The Fox Sports Radio studios at a secret location somewhere in the Northwoods. So the big headline in the NFL, Tyreek Hill on the move, the Cheetah, Cheeta Cheeta Cheetah leaving Kansas City, going to hang out in Miami. The Chiefs giving up the talented, diminutive Tyreek Hill for a bag of draft picks. I am on team f those picks. I would rather have Tyreek Hill than a bunch of draft picks. But that's just me. We'll get back to that if you'd like. Also, we had a ruckus in the NBA. You don't see this very often between teammates and the coach. It was dramatic in Miami and that involved the Heat as the Heat lost to Golden State last night. But Eric Spoelstra getting into a shouting match with Jimmy Butler. Udonis Haslem was in the middle of it. It was comic, gold is what it was, all right. So our lead this hour, though, we go back to the land. Craziness continues in Cleveland past twenty four hours, and it's not about Tyreek Hill. But this instead is about that bum in Cleveland, you know, you know, the guy that wasn't traded yet. So consider this our obligatory Mallard monologue on Baker Mayfield. The Brownies are running around like Bansheese as they desperately try to get Baker Mayfield on another team without releasing his price tag is dropping faster than Deshaun Watson's pants during a massage. It's it's out of control here. So have you heard the latest? Possibly not so. With Carolina out, that's supposedly what's happening. Because the Browns were out on Watson, they got back in, but Carolina is out. Seattle's got lukewarm interest. Other suitors are now being bandied about for Baker Mayfield. Very important here we get Baker Mayfield a job. Now. We've heard rumlings from some prominent NFL pundits. Two tapes have been mentioned here lately. Tampa Bay in New York City, as far as the team that works blew there. The Buccaneers were floated as a landing spot for Baker Mayfield by former NFL quarterback dan Or Lofsky, part of the worst team at that time in NFL history of the Lions. He was there, they were all in sixteen. Skip Bayliss also chimed in this, I always know what I want to know what Skip thinks. He believes the Giants absolutely beyond a shadow without have to acquire Baker Mayfield, and Skip said he would light up New York City. Mayfield would, all right, so let us discuss now this is the latest revelations here. We'll just focus on these two. So toss up question better fit for Baker Mayfield between these two teams, Giants, Bucks or Mystery Team. The answer not the Giants, not the Bucks. The answer is mystery Team. That's the answer. I've got idiosyncracies, swamp, creature, buckle, and we will put all these things together and will make the Barba ganoosh for Jerome in Kansas City, who's crying in his Barba ganoosh right now, Because Tyreek Hill, we'll be wearing that dolphin teal when the NFL comes back around. So number one, nobody is going to take Baker Mayfield at his current salary, So that we know that we've talked about that with these obligatory Malda monologues. The only way that Baker Mayfield ends up with anyone else other than Seattle, which they don't seem interested either. Is if he's released, So the Browns they would have to go down and get two slices of bread. Go down to the kitchen, get two slices of bread and some mayo, and eat the sandwich. Eat it of dead presents. Now for the layman, the Buccaneers make a lot of sense. People are saying, well, that actually makes sense. Tom Brady's gonna be forty five years old next season. He's already retired, came back forty days forty nine and just between me, you and a lamppost me, No, Tampa needs a contingency plan. They don't have a backup quarterback worth their assault. Shout out Blaine Gabbert. So the reason it's not gonna work, it's more nuance, okaye, more nuance here. Despite all of the dominance on the field for TV twelve, Tom Brady has some very quirky idiosyncrasies. For reference, He's never enjoyed a quality backup. He doesn't want to have a good backup. Why is that? Does he feel threatened? There's something going on here? Now, what's my evidence? Let's go back to his days with the Patriots. It's been well reported that Tom Brady despised Jimmy g the stuff of legend in Patriot Nation. Tom Brady supposedly went to Robert Kraft when he was not at the Orchids of Asia day Spot went to Robert Kraft and said, you gotta trade Garoppolo. You gotta forced Belichick to trade Garoppol. And that's supposed you have a legend about Halloween Night years ago. Garoppolo ended up with the forty nine ers, And so Baker Mayfield if he went to Tampa, he would be seen as a threat. Makes no sense because Baker Mayfield could not hold the socks of Tom Brady. But the Bucks are obligated to do whatever Brady wants. So forget about Tampa. I've eliminated them now as far as Skip Bayless deserved the second point, he brought up the Giants. Now, salty New Yorkers think that that is because he's a cowboy fan, and I'm guessing our guy moving man Matt there, He's like, yeah, yeah, he's just a cowboy fan, and that's why he wants Baker to be with the Giants, because he'd be an albatross. But When Skip says Mayfield would light up New York City, he's not wrong on that, because Mayfield, he would call audible every night. He'd go from like that one old place to Marquis to the Electric Room, all the clubs there. He'd be enjoying the bottle service, chilling with world renowned DJ's, having a wonderful time, the life and soul of the party. Maybe a Manhattan socialite. Unfortunately, the Giants play their games in New Jersey. So Mayfield would be the swap creature, an evil monster who lives in the muddy waters of the Garden State, right right there in the monsters around. The guys already have a garbage quarterback. You don't need more than one. They have Daniel Jones. That's their quota has been met. You put Danny Dimes out there with Baker's pennies and you've got some tremendous loose change, is what you've got, all right, final point, so we want to get into the speculation business. It's we have activated the Maller think tank. That's right, the Maller think tank has been activated. Here forget the giants in the bus. When he is released, Baker Mayfield that's the betting favorite right now that he will be released. Where should Baker Mayfield end up in twenty twenty two? And the response is the old brother, Where art thou? How about the buckle? How about the buckle as in the buckle of the Bible belt music City, Nashville. The Titans are a winning team to me. They're not a legitimate Super Bowl team because of the quarterback, but they're a winning team. And Ryan Tannehill a year by year here's losing his grip on the Tennessee quarterback job. Baker could hide out at the birthplace of country music. He could be warming up in the bullpen and it would be a mutually beneficial situation. Even if Mayfield doesn't play. He's better than Logan Woodside whoever that is the backup quarterback. So we know the quickest way when you suck as a quarterback to become a starting quarterback again in the NFL is to become a backup, right That's it. Mitch Trubisky sucked with the Bears, didn't play in Buffalo. Now he's the starter in Pittsburgh. Marcus Mariota run out of Tennessee, demoted two years. This guy was with Vegas as a backup, doesn't play, goes out to Atlanta. Atlanta is a dumpster fire, but he's gonna be the starting court. So the lesson of this story is that if you're Baker Mayfield and if Seattle's not going to trade for you, that's the job that's open, and nobody else is really interested, then go out there and you go to a place like like Tennessee and you hang out, have a country jamboree, and then then that's it. Then you're good to go.

Right since his nine point three on the Mallard monologue, Baker Mayfield needs to grow his nails out so he can scratch his you know what. All year riding the bench as a backup Baker would be a dumpster fire in New York. Let's go to the phones, and who do we have here? Any meany mighty mall Let's say hello to Ford in Minnesota. Hello, Ford. Yeah, And when you open your show by saying you're coming to us live from somewhere up north in the north Woods, that's right. Always envis envisioning you in a cabin somewhere in northern Minnesota on a lake. Well, that would be beautiful. I wish I had a cabin on a lake in northern Minnesota. That'd be awesome. And everyone who lives in Minnesota gets their own way. Isn't that the way that works forward? Y'all get your own lake there if you live in Minnesota. No, oh yeah, I've got my own personal lake right now. I'm looking out there's like, can't wait for the loons, the you know, in a few months we'll have the woman's out there. You got Ford Lake right there, the Ford Lake waiting for you. Yeah, we run out of names. There's a lot of names. We've run out of the names for lakes because there's so many. There's a lot of repeat names. UM say, um ben uh. Something was just brought to my pench my attention here about ten minutes ago that I was not aware of. Um uh. As far as Major League Baseball, UM one. I just heard that uh MLB has a few US players vaccinated and um and they said that Toronto is not allowing players from teams to enter into Canada. Yes they haven't, they haven't changed. Crazy that the Blue Jays will have a huge advantage. I guess this year then, I know that's a it's gonna be a major conundrum for a lot of teams. I noticed the first thirty days of the season in the Toronto at home. They opened with Texas, the A's, the Red Sox have a four game series, your favorite team, the Astros, and then the Yankees. Um, I don't know if they'll make you know, the rescind that you know as like New York has but that is crazy, Yeah, I know it is. And the Blue Jays have a good team this year. The Blue Jays are a playoff team. They should be a playoff team. So yeah, I think so too. Yeah, I like that lineup. They're gonna be great, especially this year with extended playoffs. Yeah, teams get in. So you're right, it's twelve out of thirty. The math is pretty good. I mean, you got plus it's not only but four. It's not only the twelve out of thirty, but you got a factor in. There's at least ten teams that aren't even trying to win. So it's really it's like twelve out of twenty is who So you have a sixty percent chance to get in the playoffs if you just try. Oh yeah, exactly. Major shake ups here in the AFC. It's changing by the minute. It's fun to watch this offseason. I never experiencing like this in my life. It's great. Yeah, this is more like an NA off seasons. This is not normal in the NFL. Normally, in the NFL they don't like to change players too much. Only usually there's only like a relatively a handful of players. But every single day it seems like there's been something juicy that's happened in the NFL. It's great. So all right, thank you for it. I gotta go. I got this weird, Danny. We talked member on the podcast last week. We talked about I was talking to this guy about having a food dish named after me. A burger guy disappeared, right, Yeah, so I ghosted you. Yeah so I got this message from a guy in Minnesota that runs like this bar, and they were going to name something after me, and then he vanished too. What's going on, Danny? Why do these people keep vanishing like that? What's going on with this? They were going to name the bar nuts after you, I dare you. I think it was more chicken fingers, more of a chicken finger with a honey mustard sauce or something like that. Let's say a little, Blind Scott who is in Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, the North End of Boston. Yeah, that guy forward with funny He was like, um, let me tell you m M. Yeah. But anyways, dude, Jacob Degron, he plays for the New York Mets. He thoughts him. In spring training he had five strikeouts in two innings. You should get some involvement in the North End restaurants here in Boston. They're protesting now because they won't let them set up their restaurant in the middle of the street like they did during COVID without charging them twelve grand for the whole season. So maybe if you came in and led like one of those lebron James John rallies that you did that time to get him to go to the Clippers, you would maybe have once the whole neighborhood named after you. But well, that's a great point, Blind Scott. As you know, I'm very good with rallies, was one of the most successful rallies in the history of Los Angeles back in those days. Yes, yeah, hey, I just have a little bit of critique about Eddie's Um Talk the World segment, which is coming up. Come, come on, don't do it. Don't do this, blind Sky, come on that. Don't do this. No, you know it should be geared towards the Boston market because it's drive time in Boston right now and you're on the biggest sports radio station. You know, it should have a bruin steam to it. You know, it shouldn't really have any other I agree with you. I agree with you, Eddie. You gon to suck up to our listeners in Boston. That as that. Take care with this, you know, come on, Eddie, Hey, one more thing. My high school won the state championship just the other day at the Boston Garden. They's a pretty big deal. You know, they're gonna get bruins next weekend. Nobody cares about your old high school. Nobody. Yeah, hey, one more thing. I'm a like it for the Benny Awards Blind Call of the Year. If anybody wants to throw me a vote, i'd appreciate. Come on, don't be begging for votes. Come on, come on, I can I can lose with some punch name Am who still sits with his mom at home. All right, all right, thank you. Shout on the toilet with the plunger in it. The other day line. Scott, guy's got a whole closet full of Emmy's and Benny's rather not Emmy's, and he's worried about he's worried about this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, it is the Bannet maller Seawan Fox. We're gonna have a double dose of Eddie here. We'll see he did not engage a good job, Eddie. You did not engage blind Scott. So you did not you did not go down that road. So we don't have to worry about an eight minute park the world. But we will get you caught up on everything going on. We had a crazy night in the NBA with this Miami heat story and finger pointing and a lot of you know, mad dogging and all that in the NBA and all of that. Here's Eddie to get you caught up on everything. All right, thank you, Ben. We start though with the NFL, another blockbuster deal, this time the Money Dolphins acquiring Kian City chief star wide receiver Tyree Kill for five draft picks for a second and fourth round picks in twenty twenty two, fourth and six round picks in twenty twenty three. Dolphins had signed Hill to a four year, one hundred and twenty million dollars deal. He is a three time first team All Pro wide receiver and probably the biggest big play wide receiver in the NFL right now. NBA Games of note, we had the Celtics beating the Jazz one twenty five ninety seven. Maybe that'll appease blind Scott talking about the Celtics up have won five in a row and nine of ten. Donovan Mitchell for you top thirty seven points in a losing effort. Warriors beat the Heat in Miami one eighteen to one oh four. Miami is the top team in the East, but they have now lost to a Philadelphia team that didn't have Joel Ebad or James Harden. That was the other day and now they lose to a Warriors team that didn't have Steph Curry, Clay Thompson or Draymond Greene. Sixers down the Lakers one twenty six, one twenty one. Joel and beat thirty points, ten rebounds in this one. Lebron James did not play for the Lakers with a sore knee. Kyrie Irving forty three points for Brooklyn, but they lose to the Grizzlies who didn't have John morand one thirty two to one twenty and the Suns just keep on winning. Top in the Timberwolves one twenty five one sixteen Phoenix now the league best fifty nine and fourteen, DeAndre eight and thirty five points and fourteen rebounds in the victory. Checking the night in the NHL, the Canucks beat the Avlaides three to one. It was the Sabers over the Penguins fourty three in a shootout. May belelives down the Devil's three two. More on that in a moment, and the Blackhawks beat the Ducks four to two.

Free agent linebacker Bobby Wagner long time Seattle Seahawks standout visited your La rams on Wednesday. Ben and free agent corner and Malcolm Butler back in the NFL's back with the new England page deal. Yeah this is why I tease that didn't put out, but yeah, this is the guy. Remember the famous conspiracy theory he got benched in that Super Bowl against the Eagles, Right, he didn't. He didn't suit up for that Super Bowl. And I was doing some some local Boston radio that was like a huge story that he you know that there was some falling out with Belichick and like the idea that he's coming back. Doesn't that destroy that conspiracy theory? Because why would he come back to the Patriots? Nobody else wants him. That's my only rational for that is that I don't played any other superlost year. I don't think he played last year. Okay, so desperate times call for desperate measures, and he took the year away and now he's ready to go. Well that's a tough sell though for the Patriot fans. I mean, they wanted after last year, they spent all that money. Belichick's back to being frugal. They've added him. Uh, you know old Super Bowl hero and also Ty Montgomery that and Terrence Mitchell, a defensive back. I think those are the only players they've added to the team. The three I think they've only had back. Yeah, good luck on that. Cronk is not walking back through that door. Eddie's not happy he's walking back through the door in Tampa. That'll that'll take place, all right. It is the Bennett Mallers Show. And now that the first two rounds of the tournament are over, over over to the Calm before the storm, things get picking picked up again here on Thursday. Be sure to check out the Brackett Challenge standings at Fox Sports Radio dot com. For Fox Sports Radio is a million dollar bracket challenge powered by Indeed. I don't want to give the curse of the ben Bino on this, but I actually have three of my four final four teams left out. I know you don't care about that, but I just want to point that out. Just three of my four teams left and the team that I picked them win the whole thinks. You can check out who I picked and the other blowhards that work here at Fox Its Radio dot Calm. Just Josh as I cannot in good faith vote for a blind guy with a plunger sticking out of his tookis not gonna do it. That's from just Josh. Let's see here, Justin said something offensive as well. What do you expect here? And Alfie Aleon Repiner was bragging about one of the lakes there that I have no idea how to pronounce in his area there in Springfield. All right, it is the memo. Let's get it back over to Eddie Garcia. Now there is Eddie. I like this. I like to pick one hockey story that caught my attention. There's one hockey story in particular on two of that and and and Roberto is the same thing. So let's see if Eddie will mention the story that caught my attention in the NHL. It's my kind of a story. But let's go to Eddie right now. If it doesn't involve the picture I sent you, then I'm not going to be bringing it up because everything else is pretty straightforward. So okay, well, no, it's I like that picture that you sent me, But but this is not that. This is something else, And well, then Ben will have something to add. At the end, the NHL had its trade deadline this past Monday, checking some of the moves of note. The Minnesota Wild acquired three times Stanley Cup champion goaltender mark Andre Fleury from the Chicago Blackhawks for a conditional first round pick. Fleury won the Vesna Trophies the league's top goalie last season. He will take over the number one job now in Minnesota. Thirty seven years old. He had a nineteen twenty one and five record two point nine five goals against, averaging nine eight save percentage with four shoutouts for the Blackhawks this season, So we'll see how much he can elevate his game going to a better team and how much that team can play better with a better goalie In that Florida Panthers pick a veteran forward, Claude Jeru. They get him from the Philadelphia Flyers that he was their team captain. He just played his one thousandth game in Philadelphia and now he's hipped off to another team. Flyers get former number one pick Ohen Tippett and a first and third round picks in return. Tampa Lightning get forward Brandon Hegel from the Chicago Blackhawks for two prospects two first round picks in twenty twenty three and a one and twenty twenty four. Hagel is interesting because he's not an aging veteran or a player with an expiring contract. It's actually twenty three years old. He's got twenty one goals thirty seven points in just his second full season this year. So the Lightning making a move to go out and get a player to help him now and for the future as well, and they certainly could use it because they've won the last two Stanley Cups. Toronto Maple Leaves traded for veteran devensement of Mark Giordano from the Seattle Crackin for second round picks in twenty twenty two and twenty three and a third round pick in twenty twenty four. He's a former captain of the Calgary Flames, won a Norris Trophy thirty eight years old, so he will help out the Maple Leafs defense. But they did not address their goaltending issues. They've got veteran starter Jack Campbell who's injured and struggling, and they also have a rookie with three NHL starts those year two goaltenders right now for the Toronto maple Leaves, the Boston Bruins get defenseman Hampas Linholm from the Anaheim Ducks for two prospects at first round pick and a second round pick. He then signed an eight year, fifty two million dollars extension with Boston. He's twenty years old, five goals, twenty two assist this year. Bruins also resigned Jake Debrusk to years eight million. He had demanded trade earlier this year, but apparently he changed his mind. Hitsburg Penguins get forward riccarba Quel from the Ducks two players and prospect second round pick as well exchange for the twenty eight year old who had sixteen goals and twenty eight points this year. The NHL announced that it is canceling a trade. Yeah that's a story yet, Yeah, that's my story. Story yet, Yeah, that's my story. Yet, that's a good story. This guy you want to play in Anaheim, Well, they guys want to play in Anaheim. Well, lots of people. Vegas Golden Knights, said w Guinea. The don off to the Anaheim Donoff said no, no, Well, here's the thing. He had a limited no trade clause and apparently the Vegas Golden Knights didn't know about it. Somehow, which is very, very weird. So they traded him to the Ducks, and he's the Ducks are on his list that he's not going to be traded to that team, and why would he, why would he not want to play it with the Ducks is harmless? They're terrible. I know you hate the Ducks. Ducks. Yeah, and it's a duck who wants to be a duck? He play him. You can live in Vegas and can it's like a suburb. Yeah, he's staying in Vegas. He's staying the Eggs. Nashville Predators forward Philip Forsberg having a historic season. He scored his two hundred and eleventh career goal. He passes David Legwan to be the nationale Predators all time leader in goals scored. He also gets his thirty third goal the season that said, a new single season franchise record as well. However, he is an unrestricted free agent after this season and the Predators did not trade him at the deadline, and the reports are he's not closed to signing an extension, so the Predators are rolling the dice here hoping he can help him compete for a Stanley Cup this year. Because he's likely going to be gone next season for nothing in return another week undo their milestone for a Washington Capital Star, Alexander Votchkan. Last week he passed the Army Yeograh for third in the all time career goal scoring list. This week, he scored fortieth goal this season. That's the twelfth time in his career he's scored forty or more goals in a season, and only Wayne Gretzky is the only other player that has done that in NHL history. And finally believes one last night over the New Jersey Devils, and they wore Justin Bieber designed alternate jerseys in this game. I sent you a picture of him. Uh. They NHL says that it's the first reversible sweater ever worn by a North American professional sports team, which is really amazing. I can't believe that about history made last night. But Justin Bieber is a is a huge maple. He's saying, although he does he likes every team, kind of it's kind of blacks merchandise. Yeah, he's kind of a puck bunny a little bit, as they called him in the inn. Well, this is embarrassing. I'll tell you why, all right, why because I saw that jersey and I look, oh, look the maple Leafs are playing the Boston Bruins. Uh, there's a maple leaf jersey. There's a Bruin jersey like that. Those are the Bruins colors. Those are not. The one side is black with blue, which is blue, and then the other side it's black and gold, which is uh. Is interesting. No. Biebs is like, hey, I like the Bruins. I want to give them a little love. That's a goof on the maple leave because I'm justin Bieber. They'll do whatever I say, and they'll make the jersey the way I want it. So it looks like they got the bruinship. It looks like to me, it looks like the Bruins for some reason work. So it's a gold leaf, so you know it's it's a leaf the Bruins jersey. That the world porte. Some people also pointing out Eddie that it looks like a power up in Super Mario that if you look at the gold leaf there the photo you sent me, Eddie, you can see the two eyes and then from a distance, the mouth looks like it says leaves, but it looks like a mouth, and I see, I see what you're saying. Yeah, like a super Bowl type yea, like the mushroom thing? Is that what it is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, anyway, all right, it is the Ben Maller Show. What would your no trade clause, b Eddie? Where would you not if we Fox Sports Radio? Where to trade you? Where would you not want to go the ducks? That's obviously Are you talking about like cities? Well, yeah, yeah, you can be traded anywhere. I probably wouldn't want to go to Arizona because it's too hot. I grew up in hot, hot weather my whole life. I don't I don't like that, so I don't want to go back Phoenix, No, Tucson will in them flagstaffs out. You're not gonna go there, all right, that's it. Just Arizona. Every other state's good. Gets hot in Florida, gets out in Texas, gets out in the South. Yeah, anywhere too hot or too cold? Oh so you're just gonna stay where you are? Yeah, stay here? Okay? All right? Interesting, all right, It is the Bannet Mallers Show. As we continue on, we're gonna have fact or fiction. Fact or fiction that is right around the corner. If you'd like to play call right now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and we'll get to that and we will do it next Couci what who said? Day?

Story number two the Great Warren Moon telling TMZ that he believes at least four to five NFL teams will contact Colin Kaepernick before the offseason's over, as some owners are more willing to deal with all the noise right now. And story number three, take it to the Ring. Jake Paul says his sixty million dollars offer to get Kanye West and Pete.

Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for listening to the Ben Mallers Show podcast. It's me Ben. Be sure to catch us live every weeknight from two to six Eastern eleven pm the three am Pacific right here on Fox Sports Radio. You can find your local station for the Ben Maller Show over at Fox Sports Radio dot com, or stream us live every night on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Hello and welcome. It's our name or four hour four of our radio program, Another day and more radio silence coming out of Northern Ohio. The Browns are stuck with the white Elephant of the NFL, so we need to help them out. We're gonna help them out now better fit for Baker Mayfield, the Giants, the Buccaneers, or the Mystery team. Talk about that and more right now here. It is our number four. It is not just your regular field, it's a Mayfield. Well come in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show, and we are side by side in the air everywhere as we are men of many words, coast, stuck, coast, border, the order and beyond on the mast and colossally powerful microphones of f s are emanating live from another dimension, a dimension of only sound in mind to the boundaries of imagination. The Fox Sports Radio studios at a secret location somewhere in the Northwoods. So the big headline in the NFL, Tyreek Hill on the move, the Cheetah, Cheeta Cheeta Cheetah leaving Kansas City, going to hang out in Miami. The Chiefs giving up the talented, diminutive Tyreek Hill for a bag of draft picks. I am on team f those picks. I would rather have Tyreek Hill than a bunch of draft picks. But that's just me. We'll get back to that if you'd like. Also, we had a ruckus in the NBA. You don't see this very often between teammates and the coach. It was dramatic in Miami and that involved the Heat as the Heat lost to Golden State last night. But Eric Spoelstra getting into a shouting match with Jimmy Butler. Udonis Haslem was in the middle of it. It was comic, gold is what it was, all right. So our lead this hour, though, we go back to the land. Craziness continues in Cleveland past twenty four hours, and it's not about Tyreek Hill. But this instead is about that bum in Cleveland, you know, you know, the guy that wasn't traded yet. So consider this our obligatory Mallard monologue on Baker Mayfield. The Brownies are running around like Bansheese as they desperately try to get Baker Mayfield on another team without releasing his price tag is dropping faster than Deshaun Watson's pants during a massage. It's it's out of control here. So have you heard the latest? Possibly not so. With Carolina out, that's supposedly what's happening. Because the Browns were out on Watson, they got back in, but Carolina is out. Seattle's got lukewarm interest. Other suitors are now being bandied about for Baker Mayfield. Very important here we get Baker Mayfield a job. Now. We've heard rumlings from some prominent NFL pundits. Two tapes have been mentioned here lately. Tampa Bay in New York City, as far as the team that works blew there. The Buccaneers were floated as a landing spot for Baker Mayfield by former NFL quarterback dan Or Lofsky, part of the worst team at that time in NFL history of the Lions. He was there, they were all in sixteen. Skip Bayliss also chimed in this, I always know what I want to know what Skip thinks. He believes the Giants absolutely beyond a shadow without have to acquire Baker Mayfield, and Skip said he would light up New York City. Mayfield would, all right, so let us discuss now this is the latest revelations here. We'll just focus on these two. So toss up question better fit for Baker Mayfield between these two teams, Giants, Bucks or Mystery Team. The answer not the Giants, not the Bucks. The answer is mystery Team. That's the answer. I've got idiosyncracies, swamp, creature, buckle, and we will put all these things together and will make the Barba ganoosh for Jerome in Kansas City, who's crying in his Barba ganoosh right now, Because Tyreek Hill, we'll be wearing that dolphin teal when the NFL comes back around. So number one, nobody is going to take Baker Mayfield at his current salary, So that we know that we've talked about that with these obligatory Malda monologues. The only way that Baker Mayfield ends up with anyone else other than Seattle, which they don't seem interested either. Is if he's released, So the Browns they would have to go down and get two slices of bread. Go down to the kitchen, get two slices of bread and some mayo, and eat the sandwich. Eat it of dead presents. Now for the layman, the Buccaneers make a lot of sense. People are saying, well, that actually makes sense. Tom Brady's gonna be forty five years old next season. He's already retired, came back forty days forty nine and just between me, you and a lamppost me, No, Tampa needs a contingency plan. They don't have a backup quarterback worth their assault. Shout out Blaine Gabbert. So the reason it's not gonna work, it's more nuance, okaye, more nuance here. Despite all of the dominance on the field for TV twelve, Tom Brady has some very quirky idiosyncrasies. For reference, He's never enjoyed a quality backup. He doesn't want to have a good backup. Why is that? Does he feel threatened? There's something going on here? Now, what's my evidence? Let's go back to his days with the Patriots. It's been well reported that Tom Brady despised Jimmy g the stuff of legend in Patriot Nation. Tom Brady supposedly went to Robert Kraft when he was not at the Orchids of Asia day Spot went to Robert Kraft and said, you gotta trade Garoppolo. You gotta forced Belichick to trade Garoppol. And that's supposed you have a legend about Halloween Night years ago. Garoppolo ended up with the forty nine ers, And so Baker Mayfield if he went to Tampa, he would be seen as a threat. Makes no sense because Baker Mayfield could not hold the socks of Tom Brady. But the Bucks are obligated to do whatever Brady wants. So forget about Tampa. I've eliminated them now as far as Skip Bayless deserved the second point, he brought up the Giants. Now, salty New Yorkers think that that is because he's a cowboy fan, and I'm guessing our guy moving man Matt there, He's like, yeah, yeah, he's just a cowboy fan, and that's why he wants Baker to be with the Giants, because he'd be an albatross. But When Skip says Mayfield would light up New York City, he's not wrong on that, because Mayfield, he would call audible every night. He'd go from like that one old place to Marquis to the Electric Room, all the clubs there. He'd be enjoying the bottle service, chilling with world renowned DJ's, having a wonderful time, the life and soul of the party. Maybe a Manhattan socialite. Unfortunately, the Giants play their games in New Jersey. So Mayfield would be the swap creature, an evil monster who lives in the muddy waters of the Garden State, right right there in the monsters around. The guys already have a garbage quarterback. You don't need more than one. They have Daniel Jones. That's their quota has been met. You put Danny Dimes out there with Baker's pennies and you've got some tremendous loose change, is what you've got, all right, final point, so we want to get into the speculation business. It's we have activated the Maller think tank. That's right, the Maller think tank has been activated. Here forget the giants in the bus. When he is released, Baker Mayfield that's the betting favorite right now that he will be released. Where should Baker Mayfield end up in twenty twenty two? And the response is the old brother, Where art thou? How about the buckle? How about the buckle as in the buckle of the Bible belt music City, Nashville. The Titans are a winning team to me. They're not a legitimate Super Bowl team because of the quarterback, but they're a winning team. And Ryan Tannehill a year by year here's losing his grip on the Tennessee quarterback job. Baker could hide out at the birthplace of country music. He could be warming up in the bullpen and it would be a mutually beneficial situation. Even if Mayfield doesn't play. He's better than Logan Woodside whoever that is the backup quarterback. So we know the quickest way when you suck as a quarterback to become a starting quarterback again in the NFL is to become a backup, right That's it. Mitch Trubisky sucked with the Bears, didn't play in Buffalo. Now he's the starter in Pittsburgh. Marcus Mariota run out of Tennessee, demoted two years. This guy was with Vegas as a backup, doesn't play, goes out to Atlanta. Atlanta is a dumpster fire, but he's gonna be the starting court. So the lesson of this story is that if you're Baker Mayfield and if Seattle's not going to trade for you, that's the job that's open, and nobody else is really interested, then go out there and you go to a place like like Tennessee and you hang out, have a country jamboree, and then then that's it. Then you're good to go.

Right since his nine point three on the Mallard monologue, Baker Mayfield needs to grow his nails out so he can scratch his you know what. All year riding the bench as a backup Baker would be a dumpster fire in New York. Let's go to the phones, and who do we have here? Any meany mighty mall Let's say hello to Ford in Minnesota. Hello, Ford. Yeah, And when you open your show by saying you're coming to us live from somewhere up north in the north Woods, that's right. Always envis envisioning you in a cabin somewhere in northern Minnesota on a lake. Well, that would be beautiful. I wish I had a cabin on a lake in northern Minnesota. That'd be awesome. And everyone who lives in Minnesota gets their own way. Isn't that the way that works forward? Y'all get your own lake there if you live in Minnesota. No, oh yeah, I've got my own personal lake right now. I'm looking out there's like, can't wait for the loons, the you know, in a few months we'll have the woman's out there. You got Ford Lake right there, the Ford Lake waiting for you. Yeah, we run out of names. There's a lot of names. We've run out of the names for lakes because there's so many. There's a lot of repeat names. UM say, um ben uh. Something was just brought to my pench my attention here about ten minutes ago that I was not aware of. Um uh. As far as Major League Baseball, UM one. I just heard that uh MLB has a few US players vaccinated and um and they said that Toronto is not allowing players from teams to enter into Canada. Yes they haven't, they haven't changed. Crazy that the Blue Jays will have a huge advantage. I guess this year then, I know that's a it's gonna be a major conundrum for a lot of teams. I noticed the first thirty days of the season in the Toronto at home. They opened with Texas, the A's, the Red Sox have a four game series, your favorite team, the Astros, and then the Yankees. Um, I don't know if they'll make you know, the rescind that you know as like New York has but that is crazy, Yeah, I know it is. And the Blue Jays have a good team this year. The Blue Jays are a playoff team. They should be a playoff team. So yeah, I think so too. Yeah, I like that lineup. They're gonna be great, especially this year with extended playoffs. Yeah, teams get in. So you're right, it's twelve out of thirty. The math is pretty good. I mean, you got plus it's not only but four. It's not only the twelve out of thirty, but you got a factor in. There's at least ten teams that aren't even trying to win. So it's really it's like twelve out of twenty is who So you have a sixty percent chance to get in the playoffs if you just try. Oh yeah, exactly. Major shake ups here in the AFC. It's changing by the minute. It's fun to watch this offseason. I never experiencing like this in my life. It's great. Yeah, this is more like an NA off seasons. This is not normal in the NFL. Normally, in the NFL they don't like to change players too much. Only usually there's only like a relatively a handful of players. But every single day it seems like there's been something juicy that's happened in the NFL. It's great. So all right, thank you for it. I gotta go. I got this weird, Danny. We talked member on the podcast last week. We talked about I was talking to this guy about having a food dish named after me. A burger guy disappeared, right, Yeah, so I ghosted you. Yeah so I got this message from a guy in Minnesota that runs like this bar, and they were going to name something after me, and then he vanished too. What's going on, Danny? Why do these people keep vanishing like that? What's going on with this? They were going to name the bar nuts after you, I dare you. I think it was more chicken fingers, more of a chicken finger with a honey mustard sauce or something like that. Let's say a little, Blind Scott who is in Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, the North End of Boston. Yeah, that guy forward with funny He was like, um, let me tell you m M. Yeah. But anyways, dude, Jacob Degron, he plays for the New York Mets. He thoughts him. In spring training he had five strikeouts in two innings. You should get some involvement in the North End restaurants here in Boston. They're protesting now because they won't let them set up their restaurant in the middle of the street like they did during COVID without charging them twelve grand for the whole season. So maybe if you came in and led like one of those lebron James John rallies that you did that time to get him to go to the Clippers, you would maybe have once the whole neighborhood named after you. But well, that's a great point, Blind Scott. As you know, I'm very good with rallies, was one of the most successful rallies in the history of Los Angeles back in those days. Yes, yeah, hey, I just have a little bit of critique about Eddie's Um Talk the World segment, which is coming up. Come, come on, don't do it. Don't do this, blind Sky, come on that. Don't do this. No, you know it should be geared towards the Boston market because it's drive time in Boston right now and you're on the biggest sports radio station. You know, it should have a bruin steam to it. You know, it shouldn't really have any other I agree with you. I agree with you, Eddie. You gon to suck up to our listeners in Boston. That as that. Take care with this, you know, come on, Eddie, Hey, one more thing. My high school won the state championship just the other day at the Boston Garden. They's a pretty big deal. You know, they're gonna get bruins next weekend. Nobody cares about your old high school. Nobody. Yeah, hey, one more thing. I'm a like it for the Benny Awards Blind Call of the Year. If anybody wants to throw me a vote, i'd appreciate. Come on, don't be begging for votes. Come on, come on, I can I can lose with some punch name Am who still sits with his mom at home. All right, all right, thank you. Shout on the toilet with the plunger in it. The other day line. Scott, guy's got a whole closet full of Emmy's and Benny's rather not Emmy's, and he's worried about he's worried about this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, it is the Bannet maller Seawan Fox. We're gonna have a double dose of Eddie here. We'll see he did not engage a good job, Eddie. You did not engage blind Scott. So you did not you did not go down that road. So we don't have to worry about an eight minute park the world. But we will get you caught up on everything going on. We had a crazy night in the NBA with this Miami heat story and finger pointing and a lot of you know, mad dogging and all that in the NBA and all of that. Here's Eddie to get you caught up on everything. All right, thank you, Ben. We start though with the NFL, another blockbuster deal, this time the Money Dolphins acquiring Kian City chief star wide receiver Tyree Kill for five draft picks for a second and fourth round picks in twenty twenty two, fourth and six round picks in twenty twenty three. Dolphins had signed Hill to a four year, one hundred and twenty million dollars deal. He is a three time first team All Pro wide receiver and probably the biggest big play wide receiver in the NFL right now. NBA Games of note, we had the Celtics beating the Jazz one twenty five ninety seven. Maybe that'll appease blind Scott talking about the Celtics up have won five in a row and nine of ten. Donovan Mitchell for you top thirty seven points in a losing effort. Warriors beat the Heat in Miami one eighteen to one oh four. Miami is the top team in the East, but they have now lost to a Philadelphia team that didn't have Joel Ebad or James Harden. That was the other day and now they lose to a Warriors team that didn't have Steph Curry, Clay Thompson or Draymond Greene. Sixers down the Lakers one twenty six, one twenty one. Joel and beat thirty points, ten rebounds in this one. Lebron James did not play for the Lakers with a sore knee. Kyrie Irving forty three points for Brooklyn, but they lose to the Grizzlies who didn't have John morand one thirty two to one twenty and the Suns just keep on winning. Top in the Timberwolves one twenty five one sixteen Phoenix now the league best fifty nine and fourteen, DeAndre eight and thirty five points and fourteen rebounds in the victory. Checking the night in the NHL, the Canucks beat the Avlaides three to one. It was the Sabers over the Penguins fourty three in a shootout. May belelives down the Devil's three two. More on that in a moment, and the Blackhawks beat the Ducks four to two.

Free agent linebacker Bobby Wagner long time Seattle Seahawks standout visited your La rams on Wednesday. Ben and free agent corner and Malcolm Butler back in the NFL's back with the new England page deal. Yeah this is why I tease that didn't put out, but yeah, this is the guy. Remember the famous conspiracy theory he got benched in that Super Bowl against the Eagles, Right, he didn't. He didn't suit up for that Super Bowl. And I was doing some some local Boston radio that was like a huge story that he you know that there was some falling out with Belichick and like the idea that he's coming back. Doesn't that destroy that conspiracy theory? Because why would he come back to the Patriots? Nobody else wants him. That's my only rational for that is that I don't played any other superlost year. I don't think he played last year. Okay, so desperate times call for desperate measures, and he took the year away and now he's ready to go. Well that's a tough sell though for the Patriot fans. I mean, they wanted after last year, they spent all that money. Belichick's back to being frugal. They've added him. Uh, you know old Super Bowl hero and also Ty Montgomery that and Terrence Mitchell, a defensive back. I think those are the only players they've added to the team. The three I think they've only had back. Yeah, good luck on that. Cronk is not walking back through that door. Eddie's not happy he's walking back through the door in Tampa. That'll that'll take place, all right. It is the Bennett Mallers Show. And now that the first two rounds of the tournament are over, over over to the Calm before the storm, things get picking picked up again here on Thursday. Be sure to check out the Brackett Challenge standings at Fox Sports Radio dot com. For Fox Sports Radio is a million dollar bracket challenge powered by Indeed. I don't want to give the curse of the ben Bino on this, but I actually have three of my four final four teams left out. I know you don't care about that, but I just want to point that out. Just three of my four teams left and the team that I picked them win the whole thinks. You can check out who I picked and the other blowhards that work here at Fox Its Radio dot Calm. Just Josh as I cannot in good faith vote for a blind guy with a plunger sticking out of his tookis not gonna do it. That's from just Josh. Let's see here, Justin said something offensive as well. What do you expect here? And Alfie Aleon Repiner was bragging about one of the lakes there that I have no idea how to pronounce in his area there in Springfield. All right, it is the memo. Let's get it back over to Eddie Garcia. Now there is Eddie. I like this. I like to pick one hockey story that caught my attention. There's one hockey story in particular on two of that and and and Roberto is the same thing. So let's see if Eddie will mention the story that caught my attention in the NHL. It's my kind of a story. But let's go to Eddie right now. If it doesn't involve the picture I sent you, then I'm not going to be bringing it up because everything else is pretty straightforward. So okay, well, no, it's I like that picture that you sent me, But but this is not that. This is something else, And well, then Ben will have something to add. At the end, the NHL had its trade deadline this past Monday, checking some of the moves of note. The Minnesota Wild acquired three times Stanley Cup champion goaltender mark Andre Fleury from the Chicago Blackhawks for a conditional first round pick. Fleury won the Vesna Trophies the league's top goalie last season. He will take over the number one job now in Minnesota. Thirty seven years old. He had a nineteen twenty one and five record two point nine five goals against, averaging nine eight save percentage with four shoutouts for the Blackhawks this season, So we'll see how much he can elevate his game going to a better team and how much that team can play better with a better goalie In that Florida Panthers pick a veteran forward, Claude Jeru. They get him from the Philadelphia Flyers that he was their team captain. He just played his one thousandth game in Philadelphia and now he's hipped off to another team. Flyers get former number one pick Ohen Tippett and a first and third round picks in return. Tampa Lightning get forward Brandon Hegel from the Chicago Blackhawks for two prospects two first round picks in twenty twenty three and a one and twenty twenty four. Hagel is interesting because he's not an aging veteran or a player with an expiring contract. It's actually twenty three years old. He's got twenty one goals thirty seven points in just his second full season this year. So the Lightning making a move to go out and get a player to help him now and for the future as well, and they certainly could use it because they've won the last two Stanley Cups. Toronto Maple Leaves traded for veteran devensement of Mark Giordano from the Seattle Crackin for second round picks in twenty twenty two and twenty three and a third round pick in twenty twenty four. He's a former captain of the Calgary Flames, won a Norris Trophy thirty eight years old, so he will help out the Maple Leafs defense. But they did not address their goaltending issues. They've got veteran starter Jack Campbell who's injured and struggling, and they also have a rookie with three NHL starts those year two goaltenders right now for the Toronto maple Leaves, the Boston Bruins get defenseman Hampas Linholm from the Anaheim Ducks for two prospects at first round pick and a second round pick. He then signed an eight year, fifty two million dollars extension with Boston. He's twenty years old, five goals, twenty two assist this year.

He passes David Legwan to be the nationale Predators all time leader in goals scored. He also gets his thirty third goal the season that said, a new single season franchise record as well. However, he is an unrestricted free agent after this season and the Predators did not trade him at the deadline, and the reports are he's not closed to signing an extension, so the Predators are rolling the dice here hoping he can help him compete for a Stanley Cup this year.
