And how does he play it to force Jerry Jones to trade him also? What are your takeaways from the 2026 NFL scouting combined? It is now over. And a lot of chatter of jobs being in danger because of artificial intelligence around pro football. How do you see this AI

3:02takeover of the NFL working out? We'll get to all of that and more right now settle in. It's our number two. The great escape. Do you really want out though? That's the question. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air everywhere. As we drop in for a brief chat as we are sprinting to success unless we're not coast to coast, we're in beyond on the vast end. Tremendously powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the empty, the empty stomach as we fast away. The overnight hours from the world famous Fox sports radio studios where Eek and Roseville Minnesota reminds us that this hour

4:02made possible in part by our friends at tire rack for over 40 years. That's a long time I'm told. Over 40 years tire rack has been getting her done helping legends like Bozo the district attorney find the right tires for how what and where they drive ship fast and free, which man willing Gardino likes a lot back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation which makes mark the full name guy a happy camper tire rack.com the way tire buying should be and while we're at it might I remind you and this is very important Danny and Nashville wanted me to tell you that this hour also made possible in part by our friends at express employment professionals facing a peak season looking for a new team member workforce solutions from express employment professionals makes higher and easier visit express pros.com to find an office and see how express can help you hire smarter and

5:03faster. Back to what we go and we begin this hour with that Dallas Cowboys winning doubt throw the Cowboys out because the Cowboys are good for business in these parts and so that is what we're going to do and there's one storyline that is bigger than all the other storylines with the Dallas Cowboys and it involves a certain disgruntled wide receiver so if you haven't been following this story the Cowboys recently we were away placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the back of George Pickens by George which means that if you would like to get your hands on George Pickens you can do that you can negotiate a contract with Pickens however you got to read the fine print however the Cowboys would have a chance to match any offer sheet that George Pickens agrees to all right so if not if not and then the team that signs him would have to give the Cowboys not one but two

6:03first round draft fixes compensation so that's the deal on that now if you've not been following the nitty gritty on this and perhaps not the state funded NFL media saying that they do not expect they do not expect George Pickens to sign the franchise tag anytime soon that he's going to drag this thing out as is normal protocol you sign at the very last minute if you're going to sign that at all and that's how this goes you crank up the drama or Rama now we hear the Pickens camp the Pickens camp are going to try to find a team play the match game try to find a team that is a match for George Pickens on a long term contract and then it will be up to the Cowboys whether or not they want Pickens or not and how desperate they are to keep George Pickens so that is a good jumping off point let us discuss the question

7:03is how could George Pickens crowbar his way out of Jerry's world how does he get out of Dallas how does he get out of the Cowboy locker room so my observations I got fruit of the loom whole foods and hunger games and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to eat our own dog food is what we're going to do you know that's an old business saying you got to eat your own dog food you got to consume your own product and all that and a lot of people don't do that anymore we do consume our own dog food though we do we do on this show so number one so don't let the franchise tag horn swagger you do not allow the franchise tag to commit this is idea that's a handcuffs it's not handcuffs it is like a suggestion box that is decorated and wrapped in barbed wire that's what it is right so the playbook

8:03for the great escape like a very traumatic the great escape from Jerry's world you start by poking the bear you must poke the bear you know it you raise a hullabaloo you got to raise a hullabaloo you become the mosquito that is buzzing around Jerry Jones while he's sitting on those tremendously expensive Egyptian sheets that he sleeps on there at three in the morning and you just bother him and we've seen this before it's a common movie it's a common movie here Micah Parsons he did something similar he stopped his feet he had a conniption fit he settled down just a little bit while that and suddenly Jerry flinched and traded his ass to Siberia to go play for the Green Bay Packers the holy land of the cheese curd and that was that but Jerry for a long time oh no we're going to keep micah Parsons

9:03we're not going to trade him and then he did so we know that for Jerry chaos is really good it's really really good and they have enough if they were to get rid of George Pickens they already have in CDLAM a top level wide receiver so they can get somebody else in there to play wide receiver but Pickens has to be willing to play the game you got to play the game if you really want to get it I would love the franchise tech if the company I work for wants to give me one year of coward money I'd be very happy at that I would not complain I wouldn't demand a trade that he's got his NFL players they bitch so much about the franchise tech it's such a hardship for these guys it's so sad it really is just like working in a sweatshop having to make the average of the last five years of players at your position or whatever it is

10:03and what of the formula is it's really difficult I don't know how these guys sleep at night being franchise tech cryptic Instagram stories send out some stuff of you wearing different uniforms that's always good this time of the year oh yeah here's George Pickens wearing is that a radar? the social media post that have the freemey vibes you know what I'm talking about so then you can go just if you really want to upset your joints you go full what I call you know those t-shirts I don't think they're like this anymore but these make those t-shirts that had the label they the tag on the back and it would poke and kind of tickle you while you wore the shirt it was very annoying so you gotta do that you gotta be annoying you gotta poke and annoy Jerry Jones and make it uncomfortable make it loud and messy

11:03and Jerry will enjoy that for a while and then at some point and as far as the window shopping you're free to roam around the NFL try to work out a deal you gotta go to Buffalo first now nobody really wants to live in Buffalo if they have a choice but that's the team you go in there as the number one option at wide receiver they don't have a number two receiver in Buffalo you go in there get paid a ton of money you got a top level quarterback you're good to go you're good to go assassin at wide receiver go to New England I mentioned the Raiders they're starving for anything relevant if the Raiders were a show on Vegas on the strip they'd be cancelled because they're terrible then you go the Titans who sock that need help the Ravens who have a star quarterback that need a big-time wide receiver so George Pickens is the shiny toy that price who cares about draft picks

12:03don't give an F about drapes. Now meanwhile, to Indianapolis, we go, the scouting combine is O V E R. It's all over. The comma, how are we going to go on with our lives? All those nugs, all the nuggets all week every day, 15,000 stories popping out of the scouting combine with its corporate sponsor there. In Indianapolis, all those NFL people running up expensive accounts at the two or three high end restaurants in downtown Indianapolis. So the combine is over. Another year is in the books. Another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust. So I don't know how much you consumed of the combine. I very little, very little. I had, I will admit, I had it on in the background. I think it was Thursday. I think it was Thursday. I had it on the background. I did not really pay attention to it. So that's it. And I did monitor some of the names that are

13:06being hyped up. For example, if you did not partake in the NFL scouting combine, consuming it, from what I understand, I could be completely wrong about this, but from what I understand, the two studs that got the most buzz are Notre Dame running back, Jeremiah Love. That's the name of a star. Jeremiah Love. That's a star's name. You better not suck when you're name Jeremiah Love. That's a big time name. The Golden Domer. And then you've got Cincinnati wide receiver Jeff Caldwell, who Jeff Caldwell, who had scouts drooling at the combine. You might want to see a doctor. All right. So let's discuss this. The question, what are your takeaways from the nuggets that came out of the scouting combine? What are the big takeaways on this? So the annual underwear Olympics, the closing ceremonies, which include something with Rich Eisen, who used to work here back in the

14:07day, but the whole thing has been commandeered. And in the last 15 years, this is not new. This is not a fresh take. But the last 15 years, this thing has been commandeered. It's a marketing junket. It's a marketing junket. They roll out the runway. You got the red carpet. They shine the spotlight on the players that are entering the NFL and they parade them out. It's like fashion rigged in Perry. It's it's fashion week. And they're wearing not shoulder pads. They're wearing spandex, but that's it. That's what they did. They got bright colored cleats on. They shoes the whole thing and they run around and they shake their took us. That's how they do it. Right there. Boom. On fashion week. NFL's fashion week. The NFL exec is poking prod. They bring in their trainers and their doctors and they get all the measurements and then the wingsman's and it's kind of like going to Whole Foods and buying a cantaloupe. They're measuring it like it's a cantaloupe at Whole Foods, except their human beings. And so Jeremiah Love and this guy Jeff

15:12Calwell have never heard of. They won the weekend allegedly from what I read. Maybe I read it wrong, but they won the weekend. They look like Marvel superheroes. So I'm sure they do. Mazel tof. They look great. And if the NFL going full Hollywood, hooray for Hollywood, hooray for Hollywood. It's Warner Brothers with the 40 yard dash is what it is. And then the draft is at this point and it's been this way as long as the drafts went around. I try to add some sexy women and they add some fireworks and everyone's got a sob story in the draft. They all came from bad parts of town. They all had no money. If anybody is drafted who has a lot of money, they're shamed. What's wrong with you? Anyway, the point of all this is the NFL draft is when you break it down to its essence and you go back to bedrock. It's old dudes reading names off a card. That's what the NFL draft is. There's nothing exciting about it. Nothing. Let's just have somebody walk up to a podium and

16:16read names. That's it. That's all. Now they can add fog machines. They've tried that, right? hype videos. You know, the whole thing and this is important. You got to start pumping up. This is the biggest event of the offseason. You got to pump up these players. Send out the press release. The hype videos, the dramatic piano music in the background. You got to have that. He's built like he man, you know, that, that oath. It's the, it might as well be produced by the people of Tutsi role who make that fluffy stuff cotton candy with them throw some lollipops in there. Some Tutsi pops are good to go. Here's the reality check, though. Nobody knows anything. Nobody knows anything when it comes to the NFL draft. It is a spin of the roulette wheel. You draft because somebody looks like the incredible hawk. They've got the measurables that you like and that don't guarantee anything. You know, you're not going to be a superstar because you have the measurables and as the old line

17:18goes from back in the day, you can have the body of tarzan. But if you don't play like tarzan, if you play like, yeah, it's, it's not well. It's not well. There you go. Play like Jane. So you don't know what you don't know is the point of all this and you don't know what you got. Until you open the box, what's in the box? You don't know. Sometimes it's a franchise level player. And sometimes it's a honey suckle turkey. It cuts both ways. All right, now final point. As the event of 2026 came to an end, I did notice the chatter that there are many NFL staffers who think they're on thin ice. Now, why is that? Well, a popular topic by popular people, the scouting combine, artificial intelligence. Oh, no. Uh, yes. And that it is spreading like a fungus. Not the fungus hut, but it's spreading like a fungus there in the question whether or not AI,

18:22not Alan Iverson, but AI will knock jobs for scouts. Oh, there'll be fewer scouts and there'll be less coaching jobs. And that's that because of AI. And the many of the jobs that are currently done, the low level jobs in the NFL are jobs that could easily be replaced with AI and would be more accurate. And so this is the concern that you have with people who work in the NFL who are trying to make their way up the ladder that the ladder will be chopped down and they're going to fall down. So let us discuss this. The question on this one, how do you see this AI take over of the NFL working out? All right. So my first thought is I absolutely love this story. No, you hate in my job eventually will go. There'll be AI here. I'll lose my job to AI. I'm convinced of that at some point. Uh, I believe that to be true. That said, uh, this having covered the NFL for years

19:27back when they had those fat guys that used to play that smoke cigars and wore Hawaiian shirts and they were the scouts with the radar guns and all that and the stopwatches like that crowd. They got replaced almost all of those guys got replaced by the Ivy League crowd. The analytical crowd came in. They flooded the league with spreadsheets and and now they're the ones that are now in danger of getting eaten by their own creation. How great is that? The irony is just outstanding. So the same analytical crew that took the NFL by storm, those nerds that flooded the NFL with all this stuff. They built this monster in the lab where you put in all the numbers and all that stuff and now they're in danger of being escorted out of the building with one cardboard box with all their stuff in it. I've made that walk by the way. It's not a fun walk. It's not a fun walk. I've made that walk before, but they sold everyone on process over people. This was the argument. I'd say

20:29process is more important than people. We don't care about the human beings. It's all about the process. Okay. Great. Wonderful. Well, uh, oh, uh, yeah. Yeah. Now the process is starting to replace the people. It's the corporate hunger games, the corporate hunger games of the NFL and maybe odds be ever in your favor. Chad from Cornell or Mike from Harvard or Steve from Yale or whoever. Good luck on that. Right. And eventually it doesn't happen right away. I know in radio, it happens right away, but in other businesses, the NFL's got a lot of money. So they can afford to have no show jobs, which these jobs pretty much are no show jobs and all that stuff. Hector, the Vikings GM, who just got let go was supposedly drafting players based on pro football focus, or whatever it was. And that that was who he was drafting based on what they recommended, rather than actually doing his scouting, which is essentially what this would be. A.I. says to draft

21:29this guy. Okay. It says, well, draft that guy because that's what A.I. said. And then if anybody questions it, you say, well, the A.I. said to draft it. So just blame A.I. Okay. Change A.I. Is there? Okay. Well, change A.I.s. They just do whatever they're told. So, but the cost cutting does eventually happen. It happens in every business. And it's it's like they they pay roll slash and burn would be what this is. And there's so many more coaches now than there used to be in all of these sports. So many more. And you can trim the fat away. And I do a little slash and burn situation and get rid of some of these guys. And that's corporate America one on one. That's I've worked at big corporations for my entire adult life. And that's how they operate. But if the robot can write the scouting report, then why have the scout? Right? If the robot, if A.I. can do what the nerds can do, but they can do it quicker and they can do it better than what's the point. So my point is my thing is this like A.I.s a fine tool. I'm not against it.

22:33The problem is when you start running these things like it's a madden franchise, you're just setting it up and franchise mode. And that's that and all. And the problem is that. And then it's like they try to make this like a science fair, which is also not great. That's like a science fair. And you know, it's it's it should be a bar fight. Not a science fair as far as that can the NFL's concern there. And you A.I. can measure the wingspan. They can do that. They can say, well, how many jumping jacks can this guy do? Okay, he can do that many. That sounds good. Can this guy do the old flip? I don't know if you can do the flip. Let's find out. We'll ask A.I. And and all that. But you cannot measure. This is the thing A.I. cannot measure. And we'll never be able to measure is whether or not player X has any guts, right? Well, it has that. And you can't measure who's going to panic in front of 75,000 people on a Sunday night in the fourth quarter because they have tight took a syndrome. There's no A.I. program that will tell you that is going to happen,

23:35right? But it does happen. And oftentimes you you find that information out by the scouting community. So it's like a chainsaw thing. Realize it's like a chainsaw, which is useful until you forget it's, you know, it's sharp and then you can get hurt by it. You know, you can get hurt by it. All right, it is the Ben Mallor Show.

37:03good but thank you daddy calls more often buddy the great Danny de Vito there there he goes let's say a little Paul in Ottawa oh god uh uh what's going on Paul welcome Paul Paul then uh i uh i'm a carrot muffin man myself oh care guy uh watch your mouth that was soap and water what is wrong carrot muffin i'm sorry carrot muffin it's relatively healthy no no the muffin should not be healthy it's a muffin you to if go eat some vegetables if you don't eat a carrot muffin that's a terrible take carrot muffin my god i find it's tasty but uh how much sugar do you have to put on that thing man do we know are you the kind of guy that these cheerios with no fruit in it and no milk and just no i actually have a sweet tooth i love things like pican pie but oh pican pie is good underrated pie pican pie underrated pie with coffee i care muffin can be good but uh i wanted to pick up uh and reflect on what you said

38:09in the uh first hour about kaira Murray and then in the second hour about uh players that uh our franchise tagged and what it seems to me is that they don't seem to appreciate uh what they have and uh kaira Murray showed i think a degree of contempt for the game that he played because of the way that he uh you know with the video games and stuff and i think when he came into the league he should have had more humility and once he was in the league i think he should have had more gratitude and in my opinion if you're a professional sports player in the united states you're one of the luckiest people on the planet and i think your attitude should reflect that a little bit and uh well paul to be fair though i mean you know the fair that you can count on one hand the amount of people that have humility there's not very many you know well you know that's just the way it is these guys these guys have been pampered and coddled since they were nine years old when they first found somebody's found out they could be good at sports yeah so well i get i guess

39:14i get humility yeah maybe in sports it's not a an asset in some ways you have to really believe in yourself um but i was thinking about you you also said that uh he might have played baseball and uh i was thinking of george fwill for some reason he was a baseball writer and uh and i thought he liked politics he loved the Chicago Cubs but he he said that football was a spectacle um and by that i think he meant that it was accessible to everybody whereas baseball is more detailed and you have to really like it over you're gonna find it boring but i i like to contrast and compare people sometimes and i i think about kyle and marina and i think about uh ricky henderson and george fwill advocated for him being considered the best player of his generation and one thing whatever you can say about ricky henderson he he ate slept and breathed baseball he he loved it he loved the game and he gave himself to it and i think that kyle and marina had the

40:17opportunity to do that and and he declined yeah i know he wasn't into it and you know he if he could have made the same amount of money playing baseball right away he would have gone and played baseball for the athletics but he you know he didn't get paid a ton of money you know he financially he made the right decision to play in the NFL because he got paid he got a huge contract so he made his money and now he can play video games and and that's it invest wisely you're good to go all right my man Paul thank you buddy the great Paul and Otto were there hot take Paul he likes those carrots he likes that carrot muffin you know and not not for me not for me well some news out it's Aaron Rodgers we are less than two weeks away allegedly from Aaron Rodgers announcing whether or not he's going to play or not the stories that Rodgers will let the Steelers know and tether if you believe state funded NFL media it's either Aaron Rodgers goes to the Steelers or he doesn't play

41:17and he's going to let them know before the new league year begins which begins i believe march 11 i think i believe i'm right on that close to that just around the corner yeah right around the court today's March 2nd so we're not that far away from finding on do you think Aaron will announce it himself or his wife will announce it i don't know it'd be amazing if she were announced and maybe she's already announced it I love his wife she's just this way she is such a look her she really is she's easy on the eyes now interesting to note that the father of Aman Rossine Brown the lion's wide receiver told the store and he said listen when Aman Rossine Brown was on the way up the star chart and all that trying to try to make it in football the dad named the john and he said he advised his son to not have a girlfriend he said this and he's got a beautiful girlfriend he said but girls are dream killers everyone knows that

42:22and i said i said to him if i had girls boys are dream killers blah blah blah blah so the rain you're a dream killer the rain you are a dream killer the rain how dare you i'm not pleading i plead the fifth really okay that's guilty i may have ruined one or two men's life really oh my not my fault okay they make their own choices all right all right she's trying to step back from that but she says that they may have taken down a couple of dudes all right there you go dream killer jeter did it the grid jeter waited and yeah my jeter had fun but he waited until he was done with the fun fun and then he ended up getting married and having a bunch of kids and all that so anyway it is the Ben Mallor Show and time now for the instatribute we are moments away also from mallor to the third degree but here is the instatribute and we're going to we're going to baseball blank is the only player ever did a home run in both his first major league at bat
