- 0:00Speaker 1: There she blows, it's our number two, our two former
- 0:06Speaker 1: Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy later today, planning to meet with
- 0:10Speaker 1: the Bears. He's going to talk with the Bears first.
- 0:13Speaker 1: What does this tell us? Reading the tea leaves? What
- 0:17Speaker 1: does that tell us? Also? Do you foreshadow a bidding
- 0:19Speaker 1: war for Mike McCarthy as the Saints are said to
- 0:23Speaker 1: be interested? Also, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni blasting lazy critics
- 0:28Speaker 1: of what the media called disgruntled wide receiver Aj Brown
- 0:32Speaker 1: is sideline book reading. What's your school of thought on
- 0:36Speaker 1: this one? We'll keep the suspense going on this fifteenth
- 0:40Speaker 1: day of January, this Wednesday. Here it is our number two,
- 0:47Speaker 1: a whole deep dish wel gome. In the beginning of
- 0:55Speaker 1: an other hour of the Ben Mallor Show, we are
- 0:59Speaker 1: in the air everywhere jointly as we will leave you spellbound, coast,

- 1:43Speaker 1: So lead this hour from the unemployment line. That is
- 1:46Speaker 1: where we continue our in depth team coverage of the
- 1:50Speaker 1: coaching carousel. Round and round and round and round and
- 1:53Speaker 1: round and round and round and round. It goes every year,
- 1:56Speaker 1: round and round, faster and faster and faster. Big money,
- 1:59Speaker 1: big money is stop. Now things are moving lickety split.
- 2:04Speaker 1: For someone that doesn't normally move that fast. That would
- 2:07Speaker 1: be former former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy. You've not been
- 2:12Speaker 1: following along, maybe not, you might have missed it. So
- 2:16Speaker 1: we've learned now that Mike McCarthy already has in interviews
- 2:21Speaker 1: set up with Dub Bears for later today. Now this
- 2:26Speaker 1: is not one of those half ass zoom interviews. No no, no, no,
- 2:31Speaker 1: no no zoom here, no laptops, no smartphones are needed.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You see, the Chicago Bears are flying in Mike McCarthy
- 2:42Speaker 1: for an in person interview at Hallis Hall, and that's
- 2:46Speaker 1: only their second in person meeting of the coaching interview
- 2:50Speaker 1: process the head hunting season for the Chicago football team.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Dub Bears are going to take Mike McCarthy out to
- 2:59Speaker 1: a nice dinner after they have a private sit down
- 3:04Speaker 1: at the Bears facility. They're gonna have a private meal
- 3:07Speaker 1: at some high falutin local restaurant in the back room.
- 3:11Speaker 1: You know those restaurants that have the VIP room that
- 3:14Speaker 1: you've got to save and you only like the really
- 3:17Speaker 1: wealthy people get to go in there and get the specially. Yeah,
- 3:20Speaker 1: that's where they're gonna bring Mike McCarthy after he meets
- 3:24Speaker 1: at Hallas Hall with the Bear. So let us discuss
- 3:27Speaker 1: the question. Mike McCarthy is planning on meeting with the
- 3:32Speaker 1: Bears first, He's not met with anyone else. Say, he's
- 3:36Speaker 1: gonna meet with the Bears first. What does that tell us?
- 3:39Speaker 1: What does that tell us? So I have Doctor Love, Invention,
- 3:44Speaker 1: Dimension and Star Trek, and we will combine all of
- 3:50Speaker 1: these things together and try not to go bokers. We're
- 3:54Speaker 1: gonna try not to go bonkers. So no, so what
- 4:04Speaker 1: does it tell all? Right, the thing's broken? What does
- 4:06Speaker 1: it tell us Mike McCarthy planning to meet with the
- 4:08Speaker 1: Bears first, that tells us there is a mutual admiration society. Okay,
- 4:14Speaker 1: that's what that tells McCarthy is sitting in the driver's seat,
- 4:19Speaker 1: and as long as he has good table manners here,
- 4:22Speaker 1: he's in solid shape. The Bears are rolling out the
- 4:25Speaker 1: Red Carbon, a notoriously frugal franchise. The Chicago Bears are
- 4:31Speaker 1: planning to whine and especially dine Mike McCarthy. So the
- 4:37Speaker 1: soundtrack to this part of the story is a disco
- 4:40Speaker 1: tune Doctor Love from the girl group First Choice. Because McCarthy, right, McCarthy,
- 4:46Speaker 1: he is at the very top. He his first choice
- 4:49Speaker 1: is the Bears, and it would it be it would
- 4:52Speaker 1: appear to be the bears first choice? Is Mike McCarthy.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Is that outrageous? Am I being a shock jock? I
- 4:57Speaker 1: don't think I am a Dan's rather self explained, you
- 5:00Speaker 1: don't have to have any inside knowledge that Mike McCarthy
- 5:04Speaker 1: waited to get out of Dallas. The Bears did not
- 5:08Speaker 1: hire a coach ride away. Remember New England Patriots already
- 5:11Speaker 1: hired their coach. They knew they wanted Mike Rabel. They
- 5:14Speaker 1: hired Mike Rabel the Chicago Bears. It sounds like they
- 5:17Speaker 1: want Mike McCarthy, but they had to wait. So they
- 5:20Speaker 1: played the little game and they pretended like they were
- 5:23Speaker 1: searching the web to find a head coach, and now
- 5:26Speaker 1: they've got their guy coming to town later. There's major
- 5:30Speaker 1: cronyism in play here, but major cronyism in play. As
- 5:36Speaker 1: we have laid out in previous episodes of this radio
- 5:39Speaker 1: program that Mike McCarthy shares the same agent with the
- 5:44Speaker 1: Chicago Bears in Battle General Manager Ryan Pulls, So there
- 5:49Speaker 1: is some nepotism in play. That's a big part of this.
- 5:52Speaker 1: These talks have likely been going on behind the scenes
- 5:54Speaker 1: for some time, and it's just a matter of getting
- 5:57Speaker 1: together and making sure that the optic are good on this.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Chicago has a helping hand. They have a helping hand because,
- 6:05Speaker 1: as I said, everyone's in bed with everyone else in
- 6:09Speaker 1: this story, which is why why Mike McCarthy had leverage
- 6:14Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones. Now there is a conspiracy theory that
- 6:17Speaker 1: I came across here recently. The intention all along was
- 6:23Speaker 1: Jerry Jones did not want to bring back Mike McCarthy.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy did not want to come back, but they
- 6:28Speaker 1: wanted to play this game, so both sides look good,
- 6:33Speaker 1: meaning Jerry didn't fire McCarthy to sully Mike McCarthy's reputation.
- 6:37Speaker 1: McCarthy and Jones pretended like they were negotiating. They never
- 6:42Speaker 1: actually talked about a contract. This is the conspiracy theory.
- 6:46Speaker 1: And they just let the clock run out, and that
- 6:48Speaker 1: way they said, well, we just couldn't work out a deal,
- 6:51Speaker 1: and we love Mike and he'll go somewhere else, and
- 6:54Speaker 1: Jerry doesn't look bad for firing coach McCarthy doesn't look
- 6:57Speaker 1: bad for getting fired, and you move on. That's the
- 7:01Speaker 1: grand conspiracy of it all. But you wonder which steakhouse.
- 7:06Speaker 1: There's some fine restaurants that's a good food town Chicago.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Do they go steakhouse? Do they go pizzeria? That deep
- 7:14Speaker 1: dish Chicago pizza? And now people in Chicago say, the
- 7:17Speaker 1: locals say, wow, we don't eat the deep dish, that's
- 7:19Speaker 1: for the tourists, but we eat the regular pizza in Chicago.
- 7:21Speaker 1: But where does McCarthy go. And there'll be some waiter
- 7:26Speaker 1: or a couple of waiters who are going to have
- 7:28Speaker 1: the inside skinny. They are going to know loose lips,
- 7:32Speaker 1: sink ships and feed insiders. And they will have insider
- 7:37Speaker 1: knowledge later today on whether or not this is a
- 7:41Speaker 1: done deal. Is this a celebratory meal where they go
- 7:44Speaker 1: out and have a nice, expensive dinner to celebrate the
- 7:47Speaker 1: start of a new bond, a new friendship. All right now,
- 7:50Speaker 1: pitched you with Mike McCarthy headed to Chicago for a
- 7:54Speaker 1: meet and greet. I was reading that the New Orleans
- 7:57Speaker 1: Saints are also said to be bird dogging the portly
- 8:01Speaker 1: coach who's available? So question do you foreshadow? Do you
- 8:08Speaker 1: foreshadow a bidding war for Mike McCarthy? So I'd like
- 8:14Speaker 1: I'd like two letters on the wheel of fortune. I'd
- 8:17Speaker 1: like an N and can I get a no? How
- 8:21Speaker 1: about no? How about no? This is a trip to
- 8:25Speaker 1: the invention dimension, the invention dimension, people writing the coattails
- 8:30Speaker 1: of Mike McCarthy, It's more probable than not have been busy, busy,
- 8:35Speaker 1: very busy concocting a story, inventing a story out of
- 8:40Speaker 1: thin air. Here social media warfare, which is a more
- 8:44Speaker 1: potent tool, easier to manipulate the minds of the unwashed.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Back in the old days, you used to have to
- 8:50Speaker 1: plan stories by paying off media people, bribing journalists. But
- 8:55Speaker 1: now you can just get a bunch of bot accounts
- 8:58Speaker 1: and the right algorithm them on the social media and
- 9:02Speaker 1: you can plant the stories all over the place. You
- 9:05Speaker 1: don't have to pay a bunch of journalists. You just
- 9:08Speaker 1: spend a little bit of money on bot accounts and
- 9:11Speaker 1: those sock puppet accounts. You're on your way. So but
- 9:15Speaker 1: you don't drive the price up for a guy like
- 9:18Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's that fair to say. He's not the worst
- 9:20Speaker 1: coach in the NFL. He's certainly not the best. And
- 9:23Speaker 1: the Bears and the Saints they have strooge like tendencies
- 9:28Speaker 1: when it comes to their finances. New Orleans is more
- 9:30Speaker 1: of like a starter job. It's a reclamation project job.
- 9:34Speaker 1: That's those are the coaches they get. They get the rejects,
- 9:38Speaker 1: that's what they get. That's who coaches. The Saints and
- 9:40Speaker 1: the Bears also typically get some nondescript defensive coordinator or
- 9:45Speaker 1: some reclamation project also, which Mike McCarthy would fall into
- 9:49Speaker 1: the reclamation project, having already failed at two coaching jobs.
- 9:53Speaker 1: But based on the clues I still maintain and it's
- 9:56Speaker 1: rather obvious here that the Bears are in the catbirds seat,
- 10:01Speaker 1: or Mike McCarthy, and he haunted, haunted the Chicago Bears
- 10:07Speaker 1: as a poltergeist while he was coaching at lambeau Field
- 10:10Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. And now he can work
- 10:14Speaker 1: as an enemy combatant inside the walls of Hallis Hall
- 10:19Speaker 1: and still haunt Chicago by doing a incompetent job. All right,
- 10:24Speaker 1: turning the page, final point Eagles coaching Nick Sirianni on
- 10:29Speaker 1: the war path. What is he upset about is the
- 10:31Speaker 1: Eagles get ready to play the Rams in the divisional
- 10:34Speaker 1: round this weekend. Well. Nick Sirianni blasting what he called
- 10:39Speaker 1: quote lazy, lazy critics and the criticism of disgruntled wide
- 10:47Speaker 1: receiver A. J. Brown AJ Brown who decided to multitask
- 10:53Speaker 1: not only play in an NFL playoff game, but read
- 10:55Speaker 1: a nice book on the sidelines, and media pundits pointing
- 11:01Speaker 1: out the issue that the reason Brown did that was
- 11:04Speaker 1: because he was not happy and he was trying to
- 11:07Speaker 1: get his emotions in check. And so what he did
- 11:10Speaker 1: was he grabbed the book and made a spectacle of
- 11:12Speaker 1: the situation. What is your school of thought on? Nick
- 11:15Speaker 1: Sirianni blasting what he calls the lazy criticism of AJ
- 11:20Speaker 1: Brown being disgruntled by reading a book. So on this one,
- 11:25Speaker 1: Nick Siriani has his Star Trek deflector shields going and
- 11:31Speaker 1: he's guarding against all of that space debris and those
- 11:35Speaker 1: enemy attacks. AJ Brown. Just watching that game against the Packers,
- 11:40Speaker 1: AJ Brown, he had the body language of a disgruntled person,
- 11:45Speaker 1: and we know he's a guy that needs the spot.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Like a walk a tight rope with a guy like
- 11:50Speaker 1: AJ Brown, he was not getting the ball up to
- 11:53Speaker 1: his standard. He was not on the same wavelength with
- 11:57Speaker 1: his quarterback Jalen Hurds. So he pulled out a book,
- 12:01Speaker 1: a book to calm his anxiety, if you will, And
- 12:05Speaker 1: it was one of those self help type books where
- 12:10Speaker 1: they give you positivity and all that. But this is
- 12:13Speaker 1: a uniquely Philadelphia experience, and I might be missing it
- 12:18Speaker 1: if I am, let me know. I don't recall other
- 12:22Speaker 1: teams allowing props on the sidelines like this, Like nobody
- 12:25Speaker 1: else in the NFL is pulling out a book to
- 12:28Speaker 1: read on the sidelines, like it's not happening. I don't
- 12:31Speaker 1: recall it happening. There have been guys that have eaten
- 12:33Speaker 1: food on the sidelines or but Nick Siriani, Nick Sirianni said,
- 12:37Speaker 1: he supports his guys in Philly doing whatever they need
- 12:41Speaker 1: to do, whatever they need to do on the sidelines
- 12:44Speaker 1: to put their mind in a place where they can compete.
- 12:47Speaker 1: So how far here's the question, how far are you
- 12:51Speaker 1: willing to push the envelope? If Jalen Hurts. Let's say
- 12:54Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts wanted to warm up. It's kind of cold
- 12:56Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, and he wanted to take some of that
- 12:59Speaker 1: trash and start a bonfire. But he needs it, because
- 13:04Speaker 1: let's be honest with you, this is how he has
- 13:06Speaker 1: to get his mind in the right place to compete.
- 13:09Speaker 1: He's like pyromaniac. Jalen Hurts. He needs fire, so he
- 13:13Speaker 1: wanted to start a bonfire, but it would only be
- 13:15Speaker 1: on the bench. It wouldn't be anywhere else. It would
- 13:17Speaker 1: be controlled burn on the bench. Would Syrianna be okay
- 13:20Speaker 1: with that? What if Sequon Barkley said, I was in
- 13:24Speaker 1: the band when I was in junior high school and
- 13:28Speaker 1: I like the tuba, so I would like to play
- 13:31Speaker 1: the tuba on the sidelines during the game. Is the
- 13:33Speaker 1: coach okay with that? If I can play the tuba? No,
- 13:37Speaker 1: now we know that Nick Sirianni very competitive. Remember when
- 13:40Speaker 1: he famously played rock paper scissors with NFL draft hopefuls.
- 13:45Speaker 1: That's allowed, right, What if they just stop the game,
- 13:47Speaker 1: said time out, Eagles, and we're going to have a
- 13:49Speaker 1: couple of our guys go out to the fifty yard
- 13:51Speaker 1: line and they'll do a quick game of rock paper scissors. Yeah,
- 13:56Speaker 1: all right. I'm just just asking, like, where do you
- 13:58Speaker 1: draw the line? Is there a line to be drawn?
- 14:01Speaker 1: But whether you have a problem with what Aj Browner
- 14:04Speaker 1: did or not, I don't kind of roll my eyes
- 14:07Speaker 1: like how can you really have a big problem with it?
- 14:08Speaker 1: But it's it is unique. As I said, A, it's unique,
- 14:11Speaker 1: and B it's obviously something that was done to make
- 14:15Speaker 1: everyone look at him. He knows the cameras are always
- 14:17Speaker 1: on in a playoff game and all the singing and
- 14:20Speaker 1: all the dancing and look at me and all that
- 14:22Speaker 1: stuff because he was not happy. If he was happy,
- 14:25Speaker 1: he wouldn't have needed to read the book. Kind of obvious,
- 14:28Speaker 1: self explanatory, I would say, at this particular point, it
- 14:32Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are just warming

- 16:41Speaker 1: that coming your way next hour. Exciting, exciting, exciting, exciting.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Milkman Mike in Colorado's this great second hour monologue about
- 16:51Speaker 1: the dissatisfaction of touches by A. J. Brown. What really
- 16:55Speaker 1: upset him was they had rock paper scissors to see
- 16:59Speaker 1: who would get the ball each play, and he lost
- 17:01Speaker 1: most of the time. It's very unfortunate, very unfortunate. Stevie
- 17:07Speaker 1: Meatball says, excellent work by Mike McCarthy, playing one owner
- 17:12Speaker 1: against the other owner, and the fat guy ends up
- 17:15Speaker 1: cashing a free first class meal ticket. As for table manners,
- 17:20Speaker 1: so probably for me. Yeah, I don't think he's already me. Look,
- 17:24Speaker 1: if the company's paying, you order the steak. That's the
- 17:28Speaker 1: general rule. If you're paying, you order an appetizer. But
- 17:32Speaker 1: if the company's paying, you order a nice steak. And
- 17:35Speaker 1: says Steve mebaul Is that McCarthy probably will show up
- 17:39Speaker 1: at the dinner with stains on his shirt from the
- 17:42Speaker 1: Chicago dog he pounded on the way to dinner. There
- 17:46Speaker 1: you go, says By the way, what's the over under
- 17:49Speaker 1: on what McCarthy weighs in twelve months after spending a
- 17:52Speaker 1: year in Chicago, if they they hire well part of
- 17:55Speaker 1: the deal, he could get that like a o zempic
- 17:58Speaker 1: or something like that. Maybe he'll get that. But there's
- 18:00Speaker 1: good food in Dallas and Texas, Texas barbecue and all
- 18:04Speaker 1: that he got pretty large. But that's the same type
- 18:07Speaker 1: of situation there in Chicago, and a true Bears fan,
- 18:14Speaker 1: this guy calls himself, he writes, and he says, I'd
- 18:17Speaker 1: rather bring back Matt Naggi or Treshman, uh, he says,
- 18:23Speaker 1: or whoever, rather than Mike McCarthy. So there's a real
- 18:27Speaker 1: Bears fan, true Chicago Bears fan wants nothing to do
- 18:31Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy. What else do we have? King Rory says,
- 18:35Speaker 1: When Dog Bears named Mike McCarthy as their new head coach,
- 18:39Speaker 1: do you think he'll try to bring Aaron Rodgers and
- 18:41Speaker 1: DeVante Adams to Chicago as well? Why not? What the heck?
- 18:46Speaker 1: Reunite the band? No problem? Bench Caleb Williams, Now, that
- 18:50Speaker 1: would be a bull move. That would be outside the
- 18:55Speaker 1: box thinking. Just Bench Caleb, women that we're good. I
- 19:00Speaker 1: don't think we need you anymore. I think we're okay.
- 19:02Speaker 1: All right, it is the Ben Mahler Show. Let's go
- 19:04Speaker 1: to the phones and we'll say hello to Jola in Dallas.
- 19:10Speaker 1: What's going on? Joela? Welcome, You're on the Ben Mahler
- 19:12Speaker 1: Show on Fox. Jola's gone all right. Uh, let's salo
- 19:17Speaker 1: to Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Ben, it's good
- 19:23Speaker 1: to be with you this evening.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Uh, you know, started talking about the Steelers, moved around, Uh,
- 19:29Speaker 3: talked about it a lot. But look, Ben, Mike, Mike
- 19:32Speaker 3: Tomlin is sitting. He's like the Golden child with this
- 19:35Speaker 3: job with with Pittsburgh. All he has to do is
- 19:38Speaker 3: be over five hundred. You know, he gets up. He's
- 19:40Speaker 3: a philosopher. King, you know gets on, you know, talking
- 19:44Speaker 3: about the standard is the standard, and I'm gonna deal
- 19:46Speaker 3: with it until I can replace it. Uh, you know,
- 19:49Speaker 3: and he has the job. You know, it's almost like
- 19:51Speaker 3: he's ten years right, you know, the exact opposite of
- 19:54Speaker 3: what we're seeing elsewhere, you know, in the world where
- 19:57Speaker 3: you know, what do you got? You know, one year
- 19:59Speaker 3: one year, you don't get the ship going on in
- 20:00Speaker 3: the right direction. There's the soap opera stuff going on
- 20:03Speaker 3: behind the scenes. I'm talking about, of course, what's happened
- 20:05Speaker 3: here in New England, you know, and you're you're out
- 20:08Speaker 3: of there.
- 20:08Speaker 4: So this idea of Mike.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Tomlin being traded or essentially giving up his no trade
- 20:13Speaker 3: clause because he's again, like I said, shout out to
- 20:15Speaker 3: the ausesome eighties, the Golden Child. All right, it's it's coponder,
- 20:19Speaker 3: it's preposterous. Sponsors is the word that I'm looking for.
- 20:22Speaker 4: All right.
- 20:22Speaker 3: But here's the thing, Okay, Steelers for all of that,
- 20:27Speaker 3: like loyalty, they're not going anywhere fast. I mean like
- 20:30Speaker 3: they're not winning a Super Bowl in the next two decades.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Then you look at the aft in the quarterbacks too, you.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Are hold on soon. Now that's a big andre. You're
- 20:39Speaker 1: saying right now the next twenty years the Steelers, We're
- 20:43Speaker 1: gonna be sitting here in twenty forty five and no
- 20:49Speaker 1: championships with the Pittsburgh Steels next twenty years. Nothing.
- 20:53Speaker 3: We had a lot of hot take Ben the New
- 20:55Speaker 3: York Knicks under the leadership of Tom Thabodeau, my coach.
- 20:58Speaker 3: It's been fifty years and they had Riley as a coach,
- 21:00Speaker 3: and they had different championship win Yeah, but the twenty year.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Nicks, the Knicks like they were, They've had some really
- 21:06Speaker 1: terrible years and they really were only good for a
- 21:08Speaker 1: few years in the seventies. You know, you know what
- 21:10Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's not like early It's not like they
- 21:13Speaker 1: were consistently good for twenty thirty years. The Steelers were
- 21:16Speaker 1: good from the seventies up until the early two thousands.
- 21:18Speaker 1: They had mostly good teams.
- 21:22Speaker 3: My point with that has been, first of all, quarterbacks
- 21:25Speaker 3: in the AFC, just forget about it. Mahomes going nowhere,
- 21:27Speaker 3: Lamar Josh Allen. They're ascending. But beyond that, I'm thinking
- 21:32Speaker 3: to myself, one of the Pittsburgh Steelers going to draft
- 21:34Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, When are they going to get that transcendent
- 21:37Speaker 3: player that you know that Terry Broke, you know what
- 21:40Speaker 3: I mean. I just don't the way that they do it.
- 21:42Speaker 3: I respect that they have the loyalty and there the
- 21:44Speaker 3: steel City, but they're just you know, having a hard
- 21:49Speaker 3: working blue college team. It's almost like the Miami Heat.
- 21:52Speaker 3: We credit them with getting to the finals, but they're
- 21:55Speaker 3: not going to win another championship until they secure a
- 21:58Speaker 3: Lebron James or Dwayne which I don't know when the
- 22:00Speaker 3: Steelers are going to get a superstar player with the
- 22:03Speaker 3: way that they do it to power them to a championship, right,
- 22:06Speaker 3: But I'll.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Play Devil's advocate. Why not, I'll advocate for the devil.
- 22:11Speaker 1: There are the Flukes. There's the Nick Foles who's not
- 22:14Speaker 1: very good but plays well for a month, Joe Flacco
- 22:16Speaker 1: who's not very good that plays well for a month
- 22:18Speaker 1: and you win a super Bowl. So that's that's the
- 22:20Speaker 1: counter argument is that you can have Eli Manning, you know,
- 22:23Speaker 1: a suckbag quarterback like Eli Manning. A couple of weird
- 22:26Speaker 1: things happen two years, he wins two super Bowls. He's
- 22:29Speaker 1: not that good. We all agree on that, but those
- 22:31Speaker 1: type of things happen, right, Those those weird You don't
- 22:34Speaker 1: want to bet on those things, but those things do
- 22:36Speaker 1: take place. But you can't have those happen if you
- 22:38Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs. And so Mike Tomlin remember his
- 22:42Speaker 1: mantra there. He wants the fans to be fat and sassy.
- 22:45Speaker 1: That's that's all he cares about. You gotta be fat
- 22:47Speaker 1: and saasy. That's it.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Look it.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Maybe I don't want to but franchises under the bus.
- 22:56Speaker 4: But we're in New England.
- 22:57Speaker 3: And when you see one dynasty the sunset on one die,
- 23:00Speaker 3: you know it's going to be a long time coming
- 23:01Speaker 3: before you get back there. Pittsburgh again, as much respect,
- 23:05Speaker 3: but if you're gonna be if they're gonna live in
- 23:06Speaker 3: the twentieth century, I just don't see any Super Bowls
- 23:10Speaker 3: on the horizon, you know, any anytime suits Thanks to
- 23:12Speaker 3: Nicole Ben.
- 23:13Speaker 1: There there's andre fat and sassy and spoiled. It is
- 23:18Speaker 1: our job. Yeah, Mike Tomlin has had so many great quotes.
- 23:22Speaker 1: I want I am fundamentally against comfort. That was a
- 23:24Speaker 1: great quote by Mike Tomlin. And there's there's a bunch
- 23:27Speaker 1: of the fat, the fat and sassy ones like Top three.
- 23:32Speaker 1: That's top three. But there's a there's a billion of
- 23:34Speaker 1: those things. You get your mojo back, all that nonsense.
- 23:38Speaker 1: We'll get our mojo back right now. We're going to
- 23:41Speaker 1: say hello to Angry Bill. I I thought Angry Bill
- 23:45Speaker 1: was arrested for stalking Caitlin Clark, but apparently not. Hello
- 23:49Speaker 1: Angry Bill.
- 23:52Speaker 4: Yeah, hm hmm.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Things go to make you go hmmm.
- 23:56Speaker 4: Still here, Ben, Thank god, thank god.
- 24:02Speaker 2: I'm a little very late on inference.
- 24:04Speaker 4: This Minnesota coach, how did he know by the end
- 24:08Speaker 4: of the first quarter his team was going down the tubes?
- 24:11Speaker 4: He can't see that as a coach. That guy he
- 24:14Speaker 4: was writing a book on how to clots on him
- 24:18Speaker 4: running running plays seven minutes left in a game. The
- 24:22Speaker 4: guy the guy's observed, I don't know what I thought.
- 24:24Speaker 1: It was great. I have no problem with that. I
- 24:26Speaker 1: I'd like to see the Eagles do the same thing
- 24:28Speaker 1: this weekend. I think that's good. Coach, you run the
- 24:30Speaker 1: clock out, the rams out, it's way to go.
- 24:33Speaker 4: No, But you see, as a coach, you gotta look
- 24:36Speaker 4: ahead in the game. End of the first quarter, he's
- 24:38Speaker 4: got to change quarterbacks. That guy. Every pass he threw
- 24:41Speaker 4: was either high and away, low and short, whatever it
- 24:44Speaker 4: was to get the loan passes. He couldn't throw a
- 24:47Speaker 4: ten order yeah, weak.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you like that. You like to brag
- 24:51Speaker 1: about your your high I Q angry though, But who
- 24:54Speaker 1: couldn't have seen that coming? I mean, and we all
- 24:56Speaker 1: knew that in the ends. That's that's the real Sam Darnold,
- 24:59Speaker 1: that's who that is. He sucks and he played like
- 25:02Speaker 1: it in the end.
- 25:03Speaker 4: That's not really the point of the subject.
- 25:05Speaker 1: He was.
- 25:06Speaker 4: He was having his problem you get rid of, you
- 25:07Speaker 4: take him out and putting on the man. Maybe maybe
- 25:10Speaker 4: he didn't take a good dump before the game. Maybe
- 25:12Speaker 4: something happened.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Yeah, he's probably he was probably constipated or something like that.
- 25:17Speaker 1: He didn't need enough, he didn't need enough fiber. Yeah,
- 25:21Speaker 1: that makes sense. That's a good that's a good take.
- 25:24Speaker 4: The fires. I mean, it was ridiculous.
- 25:26Speaker 1: All right. So let me ask you this right now,
- 25:27Speaker 1: do you know who angry Bill the forty nine ers
- 25:31Speaker 1: backup or not the forty nine the Vikings backup quarterbacks?
- 25:34Speaker 1: You know who it is?
- 25:35Speaker 4: Yeah, my great quarterback from the Giants shows.
- 25:38Speaker 1: No, he was the emergency quarterback. Well, you know you
- 25:42Speaker 1: you called up to say to play the backup. You
- 25:44Speaker 1: don't even know who the backup was.
- 25:45Speaker 4: It didn't matter. If it didn't matter for the Santa Claus,
- 25:48Speaker 4: it didn't matter.
- 25:49Speaker 1: It was actually it was actually, uh, Ebernezer screwed. Your cousin,
- 25:52Speaker 1: Ebernezer screwed.
- 25:53Speaker 4: You've got to change it. You got it, I mean,
- 25:55Speaker 4: come on you.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Nick Mullins, Nick Mullins, is the was the backup? Great,
- 26:00Speaker 1: Nick Mullins, Okay, what difference is it make?
- 26:03Speaker 4: Was he gonna do any worse than the guy that
- 26:04Speaker 4: was in there?
- 26:06Speaker 1: It would have been a lateral move. Would have been a
- 26:08Speaker 1: lateral move. And somebody's gonna pay Sam donnal. Sam Donald's
- 26:12Speaker 1: gonna get he I'm telling you he's We all know
- 26:14Speaker 1: this is gonna happen again. But someone's gonna pay him,
- 26:17Speaker 1: and he'll get a Geno Smith type contract.
- 26:21Speaker 4: Good, let him make his millions. I got no problem
- 26:25Speaker 4: or that I'm talking about.
- 26:27Speaker 1: So angry Bill, Now we're worried about you. I got
- 26:29Speaker 1: several emails people worry you're gonna get arrested for stocking
- 26:31Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. So try to keep your distance from Caitlin Clark.
- 26:34Speaker 4: Please just see you know, on Monday morning, shooters, Red
- 26:38Speaker 4: Pennies Monday. Alright, Monday morning, Red guy.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I guess I can't get rid of you, all right?
- 26:46Speaker 1: That area is angry Bill, unbelievable button, a little slow.
- 26:49Speaker 1: They're a little slow on the button. That's fine. Some
- 26:52Speaker 1: good tater tots though, Okay, all right? So a rating Minnesota,
- 26:57Speaker 1: rady Minnesota, the Vikings ending their season as they did
- 27:01Speaker 1: a belly whopper at the end of the year, and
- 27:04Speaker 1: now could they have their coaching staff rated by the Jets?
- 27:11Speaker 1: Say what? Yes? Are the Jets trying to commandeer a
- 27:16Speaker 1: number of Minnesota big shots. We're hearing some chatter out
- 27:21Speaker 1: of the Big Apple that the Vikings are considering or
- 27:24Speaker 1: the Jets rather considering hiring a Viking executive, the vice
- 27:29Speaker 1: president of player personnel, someone named Ryan Grigson, that the
- 27:35Speaker 1: Jets are going to hire this guy from the Vikings
- 27:37Speaker 1: as their general manager. I don't know who that is.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Then defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who is suing the NFL,
- 27:44Speaker 1: would be their head coach. He's from New York, and
- 27:47Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach Josh McCown would be the offensive coordinator. In
- 27:57Speaker 1: the plot thickens. The plot thickens. I maintain my position
- 28:03Speaker 1: that as long as there's an active lawsuit by Brian
- 28:06Speaker 1: Flores against the NFL, he will not get a head
- 28:08Speaker 1: coaching job. Now, he did get a defensive coordinator's job.
- 28:11Speaker 1: I didn't think he would get that either, But I
- 28:13Speaker 1: am maintaining my position. Now, if he agreed to drop
- 28:15Speaker 1: the lawsuit, then they would play ball and he could
- 28:18Speaker 1: become the coach of the Jets and all that. But
- 28:20Speaker 1: in my professional career, I've known people that have sued
- 28:23Speaker 1: companies and whatnot. And you can sue whoever you want
- 28:26Speaker 1: to sue, but getting employment in that line of work
- 28:32Speaker 1: for that company ever. Again, in the NFL, even though
- 28:34Speaker 1: they say there's a bunch of individual businesses, it's under
- 28:37Speaker 1: the same umbrella. It's like if you work at McDonald's
- 28:42Speaker 1: or own a McDonald's, you still have to answer to corporate.
- 28:47Speaker 1: If you own an NFL team, you have to answer
- 28:50Speaker 1: to the other members of the cartel, which are all
- 28:53Speaker 1: under the same NFL umbrella. You see how that works. Yet,
- 28:59Speaker 1: all right, let's go. The phones will say hello to Steve,
- 29:02Speaker 1: who is in Wichita? What's going on? Steve? Welcome?
- 29:06Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, it's Wow Castivating radio. Hey Man, Brian Flores
- 29:13Speaker 5: is clearly the best choice for any coaching position. He's
- 29:20Speaker 5: proved it. Integrity matters, and it was a matter of
- 29:26Speaker 5: integrity that he in the What he told on was
- 29:34Speaker 5: an owner telling him, as a leader of men, he
- 29:37Speaker 5: needed to try to lose, and he needed to tell
- 29:40Speaker 5: the people he was leading they needed to try to lose.
- 29:43Speaker 5: And in spite of that, he was able to get
- 29:47Speaker 5: those to get that team to win.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I mean, what you're saying, he Steve, Now, what you
- 29:56Speaker 1: say is absolutely correct and makes you unemployable. Both those
- 30:02Speaker 1: things are simultaneously true. So yeah, he did the right
- 30:04Speaker 1: thing right, But in the real world, uh, if you
- 30:08Speaker 1: if you do that, you are seen as untrust trustworthy,
- 30:11Speaker 1: and that's it. You're you're not employable.
- 30:15Speaker 5: We'll just see, because somebody is going to hire him
- 30:18Speaker 5: and they're going to be successful.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Yeah, he's suing the company though. Who hires an employee
- 30:24Speaker 1: for the most important position on the coaching staff? Who's
- 30:27Speaker 1: suing the company? Do you understand? Like, I don't know,
- 30:30Speaker 1: what do you do?
- 30:30Speaker 3: What kind of what kind of work?
- 30:32Speaker 1: What kind of work do you do?
- 30:34Speaker 5: I'm retired?
- 30:36Speaker 1: You retired?
- 30:36Speaker 4: I mean.
- 30:38Speaker 5: Sector. I've worked in the public sector, so I actually
- 30:41Speaker 5: worked with people who but you know, it's a public sector.
- 30:44Speaker 1: I worked. I worked in radio, so I I I
- 30:47Speaker 1: know people that have sued radio companies. Some I've worked for,
- 30:50Speaker 1: some I haven't worked for, and some of them won
- 30:53Speaker 1: giant settlements. I have a good friend of mine who
- 30:55Speaker 1: are one of my favorite people in radio. Years ago.
- 30:57Speaker 1: He won a giant settlement and he has been unable
- 31:01Speaker 1: to find employment in radio because I would agree.
- 31:05Speaker 5: With you that when he gets to be a head coach,
- 31:08Speaker 5: he probably could find a way to make that go away.
- 31:12Speaker 5: I don't disagree right well, if that happens. Lawsuit was
- 31:15Speaker 5: about them not hiring him.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Yeah, no, if he's willing to drop the loss, I
- 31:21Speaker 1: think he will get a head coaching job. I don't know.
- 31:24Speaker 1: I mean, these things see the issue, As you know, Steve,
- 31:28Speaker 1: these things take forever to go through the court system,
- 31:30Speaker 1: so they'll have delays. Missing is going to go on
- 31:33Speaker 1: years and years and years and years and years. So
- 31:35Speaker 1: it's like, are you willing to are you willing to
- 31:38Speaker 1: play the long game?
- 31:40Speaker 5: I think if he's willing, I mean, if someone's going
- 31:43Speaker 5: to hire him as a head coach, he's going to
- 31:45Speaker 5: be willing to set aside the lawsuit that he had
- 31:48Speaker 5: because they literally wouldn't hire him once this once he
- 31:54Speaker 5: told on this owner who wanted him to lose, and
- 31:57Speaker 5: the NFL pi this owner a lot for what he did, Rightick, No,
- 32:05Speaker 5: a first round draft picks real, Like a first round
- 32:09Speaker 5: draft pick ain't real. And money money is not real
- 32:12Speaker 5: to him.
- 32:13Speaker 1: They don't care about that, trust me. They're about it costing. Well,
- 32:18Speaker 1: they can pretend they care. They Yeah, they pretend about
- 32:21Speaker 1: a lot of things.
- 32:22Speaker 5: I get to think if you look at him, you
- 32:24Speaker 5: know the guy who's gonna be able to be successful
- 32:29Speaker 5: at the job because he kind has already done it.
- 32:31Speaker 1: And then as a he was, he was not. It's uh,
- 32:37Speaker 1: Flores was not overly successful. I mean he was like, yeah,
- 32:39Speaker 1: like a five hundred coach with the Dolphins or whatever
- 32:42Speaker 1: took over He took over a bad team. He was
- 32:45Speaker 1: great because they over they overachieved in the in the
- 32:48Speaker 1: sense from the gambling world. They were big underdogs a lot,
- 32:51Speaker 1: as I remember, and he was very good at covering
- 32:52Speaker 1: the spread for those that bet on those games and
- 32:55Speaker 1: all that. So where have you been, Steve? It's it's
- 32:57Speaker 1: been a minute, Like what happened? You fell uh, fell
- 33:00Speaker 1: off the face of the earth.
- 33:01Speaker 4: There.
- 33:01Speaker 1: You can't sleep tonight? Like, what's going on with you?
- 33:04Speaker 5: I mean, I you know, I I mean this says
- 33:09Speaker 5: I've been on I mean the call has been going
- 33:11Speaker 5: fifty four minutes, so I mean I've just been waiting.
- 33:14Speaker 5: You know, I came home.
- 33:15Speaker 1: No, I don't mean tonight. I mean like you are
- 33:17Speaker 1: all I got to thank you? All right, there's a
- 33:19Speaker 1: Steve in Wichard. I don't think you understood what I
- 33:21Speaker 1: meant by that. He definitely remembers waiting though. Yeah, he's
- 33:25Speaker 1: looking at the phone. It's probably screaming for fanity my name.
- 33:28Speaker 1: I not forced to stay out home if you don't
- 33:30Speaker 1: want to trust me, nobody has to stay out hold.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Everyone on hold can hang up right now. I don't care.

- 33:35Speaker 1: to be on the air, You're gonna have to be
- 33:36Speaker 1: on hold for a little while. That's how it works.
- 33:38Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the reality. I'm just explaining. The
- 33:43Speaker 1: the birds and the bees is what I'm explaining. Right
- 33:45Speaker 1: That's when I'm explaining something like that, we're gonna have

- 37:09Speaker 1: in Minnesota, Arion Rogers guessed by Chip.
- 37:13Speaker 4: And the Q.
- 37:14Speaker 1: Steve Grogan from that Boy Malcolm Mark in Santa Monica
- 37:19Speaker 1: going with the Notre Dame Leprechaun as his selection. Steve
- 37:25Speaker 1: Balmer Ballzy from Manuel in Guardina. That's his his answer.
- 37:32Speaker 1: All right, do you have an answer, Lorraine? Yes, Ben
- 37:36Speaker 1: I believe it is Bryce Young. Is it Bryce Young?
- 37:40Speaker 1: Is Bryce Young?
- 37:41Speaker 4: No?
- 37:42Speaker 1: Unfortunately it does not Bryce Young. Correct answer would be
- 37:46Speaker 1: tua tongue of bye Lola Miami dolphin to a tongue
- 37:50Speaker 1: of by LAWA here we all here to a third degree.
- 37:58Speaker 2: This is one big Ben gets grilled.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Who oh.
- 38:04Speaker 6: Saints GM Mickey Loomis said on Monday that they haven't
- 38:07Speaker 6: made a decision on Derek Carr's future with the team. However,
- 38:10Speaker 6: he went on to say, I have a high level
- 38:11Speaker 6: of confidence in Derek. He's done some really good things here.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Ben.
- 38:15Speaker 6: Do you think the Saints keep him?
- 38:17Speaker 1: No, because they're going to hire a new coach. Why
- 38:19Speaker 1: would the new coach want the trash that's left behind you?
- 38:22Speaker 1: When you buy a house from somebody, you don't take
- 38:25Speaker 1: all the crap that they leave in their house. You
- 38:27Speaker 1: get rid of it. You take it to a dump.
- 38:29Speaker 1: And yeah, he is Derek Carr. It would make no
- 38:33Speaker 1: sense to bring him back. A. He's not good. B
- 38:35Speaker 1: you're gonna have a new coach. Just do what the
- 38:37Speaker 1: Broncos did, Draft some rookie quarterback and play him and
- 38:41Speaker 1: wish for the best. Next quarterback.
- 38:43Speaker 6: Drew Aller announced that he will be returning to Penn
- 38:45Speaker 6: State for his senior season. Now, Ben, how much do
- 38:48Speaker 6: you think his poor performance at the Orange Bowl factored
- 38:50Speaker 6: into this decision?
- 38:51Speaker 1: Well, first of all, it absolutely harpooned. It harpooned for
- 38:55Speaker 1: this year. Althowise he would have gone to the NFL Draft.
- 38:57Speaker 1: There are all these glorious stories about he was the
- 39:00Speaker 1: perfect prototypical quarterback that old school NFL people love. And
- 39:06Speaker 1: they were all excited about Drew Aller of Penn State
- 39:08Speaker 1: and this, that and the other thing. And it all
- 39:11Speaker 1: went away when he rode the vomit comet on national television.
- 39:15Speaker 1: All that goodwill, all that positivity went away against Notre Dame.
- 39:20Speaker 1: And so yeah, that's why he's going back. If he
- 39:22Speaker 1: had played well, even if Penn State had lost, he
- 39:25Speaker 1: played well, he would have gone to the NFL. There's
- 39:28Speaker 1: more money in the NFL. You want to get to
- 39:30Speaker 1: the NFL sooner if you're good, get that second contract next.
- 39:34Speaker 6: Prior to this season, no rookie had ever led their
- 39:36Speaker 6: team in a game with no punts and no turnovers.
- 39:39Speaker 6: Jaydon Daniels has done it three times now. The praise
- 39:41Speaker 6: for Daniels this week has been effusive. Running former Redskins
- 39:46Speaker 6: linebacker London Fletcher said that he can go into Detroit
- 39:49Speaker 6: and upset the Lions. Ben, are you on the Daniels bandwagon?
- 39:53Speaker 1: Well, London fle leccher, I believe is a broadcaster for
- 39:56Speaker 1: the team Formulaos of the Redsidens. I listen. Jadon Amson
- 39:58Speaker 1: been great. I love him and the Lions defense ain't
- 40:01Speaker 1: that good. There's a shot, not a great shot, but
- 40:03Speaker 1: there is. I'm not fully on the bandwagon. I'm halfway on.
- 40:05Speaker 1: How do we do cool? You pass? That's a pass, Lorena.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I got to pass, Lorena. Thank you, Lorena. Have some
- 40:12Speaker 1: more trader cause
