Hello and welcome.

It's our number four, our number four of our radio program, the Battle of the Bulge.

We go where the drama is, and we have drama with the New York football giants. They released tight-end wannabe, Kelvin Benjamin, former receiver, former first-round pick.

They released him for being overweight.

He is blaming Joe Judge.

Did Kelvin Benjamin get a raw deal, a Mallor's show minutes-long investigation on a weighty

controversy right now in our number four?

Keeping up with the Joneses, or in this case, the Benjamin's.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor show.

We are in the air everywhere as we upset the apple cart, to coast border to border and beyond the vast

and extremely powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the disco as we do the hustle

all night long in the morning the Fox Radio Studios, good to have you alongside.

So I lead this hour coming from training camp, pigskin training camp.

I'm not going to do another Aaron Rogers monologue, nor will I talk about Deshawn Watson

and his curious day at Texans camp.

But we had a comeback story come to a crashing end on Wednesday.

Everyone loves a good comeback story, good redemption story.

You don't like it so much when it ends this way.

We take it out to New York Giants Training Camp.

Remember Kelvin Benjamin?
