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

In the mood for some Ch, welcome in the beginning of another edition of the Ben Mallor show.

We are brought together in the air everywhere as we take center stage, coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast and massively powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the musical, the game of musical chairs, the Fox Sports Radio Studios, embedded somewhere off the grid in the

Northwoods.

So we talked over the last couple of days about the trading season, and we were heading

towards a stoppage in the trading season. And the speculation

of trades. And so our lead this hour is about the culmination of the trade deadline. Pro

bouncy ball, very proficient at cultivating gossip. And we foolishly dismissed the idea of massive trades happening.

And it turns out that we miscalculated the temperature in the room.

Never ever underestimate the power of a conniption fit leading to a transaction.

It happens about 95% of the time.

Even when it seems like it makes no sense, there's no way it should happen.

It's just bad.

It still ends up happening about 95% of the time.

That's just a maller estimation.

So get to the point, please.
