This is the best of the Ben Mallor show on Fox Sports Radio.

In the middle of the frying pan, welcome in the beginning of another edition of the Ben Mallor show.

We are together in the air everywhere as we give away the store, coast to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast and mighty powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the flight deck as we soar on the red eye all night long

hanging out here at the Fox Sports Radio Studio.

So our lead this hour comes from a head spinning day in the NFL.

We're going to save my baseball ranting and raving for later.

We're being covered up in some markets right now because of post-game programming

games that ended on the West Coast, one in particular that we're going to talk about.

So we'll save that for later, but for the live audience.

So our lead this hour is from football and training camp continuing to open up more and more every day,

more teams report to work.

I know you're excited about that unless you're not.

But bombshell news dropped randomly, randomly just in the last 24 hours.
