0:24
Speaker 1: number one. We start out on this eighteenth day of
0:27
Speaker 1: September with the Chicago Bears high drama in the Windy City.
0:31
Speaker 1: What do you think of Ben Johnson already calling out
0:34
Speaker 1: his Chicago players after the Z and two start, essentially
0:38
Speaker 1: saying they're lazy in practice? Also, why is hot shot
0:41
Speaker 1: rookie running back Ashton Genty already in Pete Carroll's doghouse?
0:46
Speaker 1: And Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has gone viral not
0:49
Speaker 1: for his great play on the field, for the craziest
0:53
Speaker 1: shoulder joints that we've ever seen. How do you evaluate that?
0:58
Speaker 1: We'll go there and everywhere else as well. Here it
1:01
Speaker 1: is our number one. It is a Bear jamboree. Welome
1:16
Speaker 1: in the beginning, come another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
1:21
Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere shooting the breeze as
1:27
Speaker 2: we are karaj Bandit's coast to coast, border, the border
1:31
Speaker 2: and beyond on the vast and unrelentingly powerful microphones of
1:36
Speaker 2: fs are ammundating live from the press the full court
1:42
Speaker 2: audio press from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
1:46
Speaker 2: as approved by the gentleman formerly known as mister Irrigation
1:51
Speaker 2: in Houston who changed his name for some reason.
1:53
Speaker 1: We don't know why did he go to the court
1:56
Speaker 1: to change his name. I'm not sure if mister Irrigation
1:58
Speaker 1: did that night might not be loud, but this portion
2:02
Speaker 1: of the Ben Malers we'll check with the Kangaroo Court.
2:04
Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Malor show on Fox made
2:07
Speaker 1: possible in part by our friends at tire Ract. For
2:10
Speaker 1: over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers find
2:13
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
2:16
Speaker 1: ship fasted freight back by free road hazard protection with
2:19
Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot
2:24
Speaker 1: Com the way tire buying should be. So if you're
2:30
Speaker 1: new to these parts, welcome. We'll be here all night
2:33
Speaker 1: long and just get the time to go buy zip
2:37
Speaker 1: Zippity Doda zippity day the time we'll fly by here
2:41
Speaker 1: unless it doesn't. Unless it doesn't, and then later on
2:45
Speaker 1: we'll have in an hour two we've got Mallard of
2:47
Speaker 1: the third degree. Hour three, Ask Ben and you can
2:52
Speaker 1: send questions in right now hashtag ask Ben. Then factor
2:55
Speaker 1: fiction in hour for some other surprises along the way.
2:58
Speaker 1: But our lead this you gotta play the hit, small Man,
3:02
Speaker 1: one of wor old bosses used to say, play the hits.
3:04
Speaker 1: So we'll start out in sweet home Chicago, where the
3:09
Speaker 1: Bears are the story here. They won the offseason. Congratulations.
3:13
Speaker 1: They had a big celebration there in Chicago. Another offseason
3:16
Speaker 1: championship for the Bears. Always exciting when you win the offseason.
3:19
Speaker 1: But the Bears first two games of the year and
3:21
Speaker 1: they are in hybernation mode, the hibernating Bears, du Bears.
3:27
Speaker 1: So Chicago, the football team off to the zero to
3:30
Speaker 1: two start, got absolutely blitched. They gave up against the Lions.
3:34
Speaker 1: That's gutlass football. You don't give up fifty points if
3:37
Speaker 1: you're halfway decent and you're trying. They gave up on
3:39
Speaker 1: their coach in the second game of the year. And
3:42
Speaker 1: now some payback. Because anything that works in that business
3:45
Speaker 1: knows if you're trying. You don't give up fifty plus points.
3:49
Speaker 1: You just don't do that. So the new coach there
3:52
Speaker 1: has decided to go on the offensive, which is not
3:56
Speaker 1: surprising considering he is an offensive coordinator, although you wouldn't
3:59
Speaker 1: know the way the Bears offense is going. So if
4:01
Speaker 1: you didn't see this, maybe not Ben Johnson publicly putting
4:05
Speaker 1: his players on blast. He was talking to a short
4:09
Speaker 1: sound bite, but he was talking about the practiced habits
4:12
Speaker 1: of the Chicago Bears. Take a listen.
4:14
Speaker 3: I think our practice habits are are yet to reflect
4:17
Speaker 3: the championship caliber team.
4:19
Speaker 2: Dah.
4:20
Speaker 1: Now, he went on and expanded on that, but that
4:23
Speaker 1: one playing the guy, Play the guy and listen to this.
4:26
Speaker 3: I think our practice habits are are yet to reflect
4:28
Speaker 3: the championship caliber team.
4:30
Speaker 1: All right, So he expanded on that. But that's where
4:32
Speaker 1: we're gonna jump off. So let us discuss the question,
4:35
Speaker 1: what do you think of Bears coach Ben Johnson calling
4:39
Speaker 1: out his Chicago players and what they're doing at practice.
4:43
Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got a shampoo commercial,
4:46
Speaker 1: dunk Tank, and Spirit Halloween, and we will combine all
4:51
Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make delicious PISTROMI
4:55
Speaker 1: fries is what we're gonna do. So A, I love
4:59
Speaker 1: this hot shot coach gets a new job, everyone says
5:04
Speaker 1: they can't be stopped, and it all falls apart right away.
5:08
Speaker 1: I got a big bucket of movie theater great popcorn,
5:11
Speaker 1: the kind that fills your insides and you can't get
5:14
Speaker 1: it out for years. Two weeks, that's it. Two weeks
5:18
Speaker 1: into the season and Ben Johnson is announcing that the
5:22
Speaker 1: practices think He went on to say the fundamentals are
5:25
Speaker 1: not very good. So I guess that means they're garbage.
5:27
Speaker 1: That the basics blocking and tackling are not there. Ball security,
5:32
Speaker 1: this is Pop Warner football level mistakes by the Chicago Bears.
5:38
Speaker 1: He's essentially saying. The way I translated is I used
5:41
Speaker 1: the Mallard Rosetta stone that the coach of the Bears
5:44
Speaker 1: is saying that the team is playing grab ass all
5:48
Speaker 1: week like the true Bears fans like Yafimi and Tree
5:53
Speaker 1: in Chicago and Eugene in Chicago, all those guys, they
5:56
Speaker 1: put more effort into it than the actual player on
6:00
Speaker 1: the team. Now, in life, the saying is you are
6:02
Speaker 1: what you eat. You probably heard that when you were younger.
6:04
Speaker 1: You are what you eat in football, you are how
6:08
Speaker 1: you practice. Like that's been the mantra of football forever
6:12
Speaker 1: and ever. Is anyone shocked? Anyone shocked that already this
6:17
Speaker 1: is coming out and you know this has been going
6:19
Speaker 1: on for months, right, This is not something that all
6:22
Speaker 1: of a sudden just bubbled up out of nowhere. It's
6:25
Speaker 1: been hanging out there. And because you always try to
6:28
Speaker 1: handle this stuff internally before you go in front of
6:30
Speaker 1: the cameras and the microphones and say this kind of thing.
6:33
Speaker 1: So Ben Johnson's been dealing with this for some time.
6:36
Speaker 1: But you can't be shocked by it. And here's why
6:38
Speaker 1: the Bears are who we thought they were. They're losers.
6:42
Speaker 1: They've been losers for decades. It's the culture that's the
6:46
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. That stuff doesn't just go away because you
6:50
Speaker 1: hired the latest offensive genius, who's the flavor of the
6:54
Speaker 1: month in the NFL. And so Ben Johnson's like he's
6:57
Speaker 1: up there like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Where
7:00
Speaker 1: not in Kansas anymore? Gus in this case, we're not
7:02
Speaker 1: in Detroit anymore because he was with the Lions. Well,
7:04
Speaker 1: no kidding, you're in Chicago. Great pizza, bad football, good pizza,
7:08
Speaker 1: bad football, good popcorn, bad football. You've inherited the island
7:12
Speaker 1: of misfit toys. Congratulations. Now, I've never been to bebarssed practice.
7:17
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you have an either. It must be like
7:18
Speaker 1: animal house, though I imagine just a total frat party
7:22
Speaker 1: like guys have like zombie mode. Right, I mean he's
7:25
Speaker 1: called it, what is Ben Johnson's really What he's really
7:28
Speaker 1: doing here is not even calling out the core of
7:30
Speaker 1: the roster. The way that I heard, this is a
7:34
Speaker 1: direct shot at his quarterback, Caleb Williams. This is a
7:38
Speaker 1: direct shot at Caleb Williams your career. Disagree with that point,
7:43
Speaker 1: then me make my argument here. Now, he didn't say
7:45
Speaker 1: his name, and I watched the news coming he didn't
7:47
Speaker 1: say KYLEB. Williams name in regards to this. However, the
7:50
Speaker 1: reason I'm going down that road is because your quarterback
7:55
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the tone setter, right, they're the
7:58
Speaker 1: ones lee by example. You're supposed to be the leader
8:00
Speaker 1: of men, and instead, you know Caleb, Well, this is
8:05
Speaker 1: all going on. He's probably looking out. He's auditioning for
8:07
Speaker 1: some shampoo commercial somewhere, or he's at the nail salon
8:10
Speaker 1: getting that French manicure while the coach is begging his
8:14
Speaker 1: team to actually finish a play in practice and all that.
8:17
Speaker 1: And so this is Ben Johnson's way of calling out
8:21
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams that he's not holding guys accountable, that there's
8:25
Speaker 1: no pride in product in Chicago and they're grinding it
8:30
Speaker 1: out in practice unless they're not. And that's what Ben
8:33
Speaker 1: Johnson is telling you. He's begging for the quarterback to
8:38
Speaker 1: be the grown up in the room and act like
8:40
Speaker 1: it here. Instead, he's got a team full of Instagram influencers.
8:44
Speaker 1: They got a lot of clout online. Let's be honest here,
8:46
Speaker 1: come on. I mean they're bad at football, but they're
8:47
Speaker 1: really good online. The Bears are solid. They got a
8:50
Speaker 1: lot of those fake bots following. Anyway, you can't build
8:55
Speaker 1: the culture if your quarterback is part of the problem,
8:58
Speaker 1: becomes an issue. We'll see if that changes, but at
9:01
Speaker 1: this point unlikely. Now, speaking of problems, because we love
9:05
Speaker 1: problems on the Ben Malor Show, we celebrate problems because
9:09
Speaker 1: we got problems. Now we go to Vegas, Lost Wages, Nevada,
9:13
Speaker 1: I spent. If you listen to my fifth hour podcast
9:15
Speaker 1: on the weekends. I told the story with Danny g
9:17
Speaker 1: I spent eighty dollars to park in one day in Vegas.
9:20
Speaker 1: I could have parked in Manhattan. They just at some
9:25
Speaker 1: point Vegas will realize probably not a good idea, Probably
9:28
Speaker 1: not a good idea for those parking fees. Anyway, So
9:31
Speaker 1: we get to the Raiders. Now they look horrible, and
9:33
Speaker 1: we ripped apart Geno Smith for his performance or lack
9:37
Speaker 1: thereof performance in the game. Back on Monday night, and
9:40
Speaker 1: this is our Thursday show. But the latest hullabaloo from
9:44
Speaker 1: Raiderland running back Ashton Genty. He revealed that he wants
9:49
Speaker 1: a bigger workload, he said. This week he said, quote,
9:53
Speaker 1: I don't think you draft a guy like me to
9:56
Speaker 1: not give me carries, he said. Now it is true.
10:01
Speaker 1: Out of Boise State, Genty was the number six, number
10:04
Speaker 1: six pick in the twenty six is but we have
10:08
Speaker 1: a button for everything, number six pick in the twenty
10:10
Speaker 1: twenty five NFL draft and had a prolific career in Idaho,
10:15
Speaker 1: but so far in his NFL right so, it's only
10:19
Speaker 1: a couple of games. What we've got a show to
10:20
Speaker 1: do right now, the results have been ugly, absolutely ugly,
10:24
Speaker 1: so the question, as we discussed the question is why
10:28
Speaker 1: why is Ashton genty apparently in Pete Carroll's doghouse with
10:33
Speaker 1: the Raiders already. So this is an early reality check,
10:38
Speaker 1: That's the way I see it, Like the Silver and
10:39
Speaker 1: Black heighte machine after they had drafted drafted this guy
10:43
Speaker 1: gent this is home run hitter. Remember Bo Jackson back
10:47
Speaker 1: in the day. If you're really old, you remember this
10:49
Speaker 1: guy named Bo Jackson and all that highlight reel reborn.
10:53
Speaker 1: And we're a couple of weeks into the process or
10:57
Speaker 1: the process, and he looks much more like Trent Richardson
11:03
Speaker 1: than he does the second coming of Bo Jackson, which
11:05
Speaker 1: is not a compliment, I don't believe. So plotting through
11:08
Speaker 1: defense is that Patriot game was really bad. The Charger
11:12
Speaker 1: game was not great. But plotting through defense like he's
11:15
Speaker 1: trudging through wet cement, Ashton gent and against the Patriots,
11:19
Speaker 1: the lowly Patriots, he had nineteen carries and thirty eight
11:24
Speaker 1: yards if my math is correct on that, and I
11:26
Speaker 1: believe that's two yards of pop using malor math, that'll
11:30
Speaker 1: get you right back to full back dive territory. That's
11:33
Speaker 1: like the nineteen eighty three NFL all over again, and
11:36
Speaker 1: then against the Chargers there was a little bit of improvement.
11:39
Speaker 1: He had forty three yards, so five more yards and
11:42
Speaker 1: average three point nine yards per carry. Limited work, nothing special.
11:46
Speaker 1: So Ashton Genty's NFL christening has been a flaming dunk
11:50
Speaker 1: tank at this point, baptism by fire, and he's got
11:53
Speaker 1: third degree burns to prove it. And then he has
11:56
Speaker 1: the hoods. But I want more carries. Okay, of course,
11:59
Speaker 1: of course you want more carries. Be careful what you
12:01
Speaker 1: wish for, though, the more touches that you get right,
12:04
Speaker 1: more times you touch the ball right now, the more
12:06
Speaker 1: Raider fans are reminded that you don't draft a running
12:10
Speaker 1: back in the top ten of the draft, right, you
12:12
Speaker 1: don't do that. You drafted running back in the sixth round,
12:15
Speaker 1: not the sixth overall pick. And you know, again, Pete
12:18
Speaker 1: Carroll forever the ultimate college rah rah optimist coach. We
12:24
Speaker 1: all know that, right, we all know that. And you
12:26
Speaker 1: know he insists he wants to give Genty the football
12:30
Speaker 1: and all that. But Pete Carroll, well he's mister raw raw.
12:33
Speaker 1: He's also not a country bumpkin like if you don't
12:36
Speaker 1: earn it, you're not just gonna get it. And because
12:40
Speaker 1: you know, you slap some EyeBlack on or whatever, and
12:43
Speaker 1: it's not all of a sudden you're gonna be mister
12:45
Speaker 1: techmo bull back in the day. This is like, this
12:49
Speaker 1: isn't Boise State versus Hawaii. There is no blue turf
12:54
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Right in the NFL, the the linebackers.
12:57
Speaker 1: You don't play a school where the linebackers are biology
13:03
Speaker 1: majors on scholarship. These are all the top one percent
13:07
Speaker 1: of the top one percent. And Ashton Genty, you know,
13:10
Speaker 1: he just has looked clunky. It's like he's auditioning for
13:14
Speaker 1: the role of Frankenstein, like real stiff, like a universal
13:18
Speaker 1: reboot of Frankenstein or something like that. But it is
13:20
Speaker 1: too early to say, oh, this guy's a total bust
13:23
Speaker 1: and slap that label on this guy's locker. However, uh,
13:28
Speaker 1: you know, in Vegas and just in general, like the
13:30
Speaker 1: first impression, this is it. You're judged by that and
13:33
Speaker 1: you have to overcome that. Once you get that in
13:36
Speaker 1: the mind, it's very difficult to overcome that. And Ashton
13:40
Speaker 1: genty what he really needs? And I looked at the schedule. Unfortunately,
13:43
Speaker 1: I didn't see this. Ashton Genty needs a Washington State
13:48
Speaker 1: or Georgia Southern on the schedule like he had when
13:50
Speaker 1: he was at Boise State. A total cupcake game, and
13:54
Speaker 1: there's only a few of those in the NFL that
13:56
Speaker 1: would be like your New Orleans Saints, So you're Carolina
13:59
Speaker 1: Panther somebody like that, and then you can look like
14:02
Speaker 1: the All Americans stud all over again. Unfortunately for him,
14:07
Speaker 1: the NFL does not do cupcakes very often. Right right
14:11
Speaker 1: now that the highlight reel two games into Ashton Gent's
14:14
Speaker 1: career is more of a blooper reel than a highlight reel.
14:17
Speaker 1: A right now, last word, we go to La La Land.
14:21
Speaker 1: A viral video popping up here of a charger. Now,
14:27
Speaker 1: how often does that happen? Let's stop right there. How
14:30
Speaker 1: often does a charger end up in a viral video?
14:33
Speaker 3: Well?
14:33
Speaker 1: Charges wide receiver Keenan Allen with the Monday Night Game
14:37
Speaker 1: the other night video videos making the rounds here. I
14:39
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen it or if you're blind
14:41
Speaker 1: you've heard it, but Keenan Allen exposed his giant bumpity
14:46
Speaker 1: bumps on his shoulders during a Monday Night pregame hype video.
14:51
Speaker 1: I think it's actually his postgame a hype video there
14:54
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. So the question, and again this is
14:59
Speaker 1: more a visual thing. I know we're on an audio platform.
15:01
Speaker 1: Just imagine Keenan Allen has these big bumps on each shoulder,
15:07
Speaker 1: like not natural, not normal skeleton bumps. So the question
15:12
Speaker 1: Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen going viral for the craziest
15:17
Speaker 1: shoulder joints you will ever see or Nazi, So how
15:22
Speaker 1: do you evaluate this one? So this clip's kind of
15:26
Speaker 1: like watching Discovery Channel, like a special show on Discovery
15:31
Speaker 1: Channel on human anatomy gone wrong. Like we're used to
15:36
Speaker 1: seeing football players in shoulder pads. It's kind of a
15:39
Speaker 1: regular occurrence. This guy's got shoulder spikes as an all
15:43
Speaker 1: the way to say it, Like you line up against
15:45
Speaker 1: him and it's not press coverage when you're playing Keenan Allen,
15:49
Speaker 1: it's assault with a deadly weapon. He could literally poke
15:53
Speaker 1: defensive backs in the eye before the snap and injury.
15:57
Speaker 1: They couldn't even able to see him, and he'd run
15:59
Speaker 1: by him. Keenan plays, he kind of plays like he's
16:03
Speaker 1: got a chip on his shoulder. Anyway, He's got an
16:04
Speaker 1: edge to his game and turns out, based on this
16:06
Speaker 1: photographic video evidence, that he not only has a chip
16:10
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, he has two giant bones sticking out
16:12
Speaker 1: of each shoulder. There. Both of these things we are
16:16
Speaker 1: told based on a minute long Mallar investigation, they were
16:21
Speaker 1: grade three separations that he never got fixed. They had
16:25
Speaker 1: the separation, and he's supposed to have those surgically fixed.
16:29
Speaker 1: He never did. And so now it's like when I
16:32
Speaker 1: was a kid, I always wonder what would have happen
16:34
Speaker 1: if that skeletor came to life. What do we look like?
16:38
Speaker 1: And now I know? Now I know, just have a
16:40
Speaker 1: grade three shoulder separation, do not have surgery, and then
16:43
Speaker 1: you can put on a number thirteen jersey for the
16:46
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers and you're good to go. Now it's
16:49
Speaker 1: not all badness. I will be Benny Brightside on this. Well,
16:51
Speaker 1: visually it's not very attractive. Keenan Allen will not need
16:55
Speaker 1: to go to Spirit Halloween. He's already got his own
16:58
Speaker 1: swoopy costume. He looks like he's wearing. I'm gonna go
17:03
Speaker 1: old school here. But professional wrestling, there was this tag
17:07
Speaker 1: team group called the Road Warriors back in the day,
17:09
Speaker 1: and they had shoulder pads with spikes on them, and
17:12
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like that, kind of looks like that, right,
17:14
Speaker 1: you know what a rush, except it's it's not a gimmick, like,
17:18
Speaker 1: this is his body. This is what happens. And then
17:21
Speaker 1: you see some really nasty photos of basketball players with
17:25
Speaker 1: their fingers bent the wrong way from playing in the NBA,
17:29
Speaker 1: or toes that are really wacky. Right, and this is
17:34
Speaker 1: like that, right, this is like that, and yet he's
17:36
Speaker 1: still out there running routes and roots and all that.
17:39
Speaker 1: Getting open catching passes is insane. It's also grotesque but impressive.
17:45
Speaker 1: It can be both things at the same time. It's
17:48
Speaker 1: like one of those carnival sideshow acts that you'll see
17:50
Speaker 1: right every once in a while. You know, set right up,
17:52
Speaker 1: every man, woman, and child. See the wide receiver with
17:56
Speaker 1: the dislocated skeleton right here. So Keenan Allen playing football
18:02
Speaker 1: in a full horror show mode must be uncomfortable when
18:06
Speaker 1: he's got the shoulder pads on, because he's already got
18:09

Speaker 1: Mike in Colorado. He says a WrestleMania level opening monologue.
21:17
Speaker 1: Major props for referencing one of the greatest tag teams
21:20
Speaker 1: in pro wrestling history. Two bad NFL players can't even
21:24
Speaker 1: act like they care when they're playing, Well some of
21:26
Speaker 1: them do, yeah, Femi says Ben. Aren't keenan Allen's shoulders
21:31
Speaker 1: an extra advantage over the opposing team. They definitely look scary.
21:35
Speaker 1: Maybe the owners should take a vote to ban them. Well,
21:39
Speaker 1: did they convert ninety six percent of the time like
21:41
Speaker 1: the toush push just Josh writes in he says, hey,
21:46
Speaker 1: he's in Cincinnati. Bears practice being like an animal house,
21:49
Speaker 1: probably more like a sorority house with a bunch of
21:53
Speaker 1: dudes wearing face mask while getting their nails painted. Right
21:58
Speaker 1: there you go, says Ben. I'm glad you're on tonight.
22:01
Speaker 1: I was worried you'd be taking taking a day off
22:04
Speaker 1: after seeing how much trouble one of your former co
22:07
Speaker 1: workers is. No, that was not one of my favorite
22:10
Speaker 1: wind No, he's he's ferg dogs can he's conflating stories here. No,
22:14
Speaker 1: when I when I got started in LA radio years ago,
22:19
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel was doing mornings at k Rock, and he
22:22
Speaker 1: was like a goofy morning guy and I was I
22:26
Speaker 1: was like a night guy or whatever doing radio. And
22:28
Speaker 1: then I guess he got his shows suspended the FC season.
22:31
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's all about. I just saw
22:33
Speaker 1: the headlines, but I'm he didn't work here for dogs,
22:36
Speaker 1: so I don't know what you're talking about. Late night
22:37
Speaker 1: drug tester says, no surprise. This time of the year,
22:40
Speaker 1: Bears are usually finishing up their summer feeding, getting ready
22:44
Speaker 1: to hibernate. Unless you have a coach keeping them awake
22:47
Speaker 1: all season. Then then they are Super Bowl winners. Yes, absolutely.
22:54
Speaker 1: Spock's weed rights in from the Oregon Trail. He says,
22:57
Speaker 1: the Bears are on the island of misfit to is,
23:00
Speaker 1: how does Ben pull so it's wonderful metaphors out of
23:03
Speaker 1: his took us there you go. Uh, well, it's just
23:06
Speaker 1: a lot of weird, random thoughts in my head. Truck
23:09
Speaker 1: stop Fungus a legend rights and he's now retired, but
23:13
Speaker 1: he's always on this show known as truck stop Funks.
23:16
Speaker 1: She pointed out all the interesting truck stops along the way,
23:19
Speaker 1: says old battle Axes in Florida playing MLB twenty five
23:24
Speaker 1: and my tidy white. He's eating chicken wings, drinking mister
23:27
Speaker 1: PIB and now it's time for the Maller show. Well,
23:29
Speaker 1: what a great visual that is. What a truck stop
23:34
Speaker 1: fungus there, old enough to be retired, you know, probably
23:39
Speaker 1: got a lot of weight on him, and he's just
23:42
Speaker 1: sitting there in his tidy white. He's living his life.
23:44
Speaker 1: What a dream? Is that? Not the perfect retirement? You
23:47
Speaker 1: just sit down there, You got nowhere to be, nothing
23:49
Speaker 1: to do. You got your underwear on, you got your
23:51
Speaker 1: chicken wings in one hand, you got mister PIB in
23:53
Speaker 1: the other, and then you got the video game. When
23:56
Speaker 1: you want to play the video game, and you're good
23:58
Speaker 1: to go, You're good to go. Shanon de Mooyes says,
24:01
Speaker 1: the only thing that has ever been noteworthy about Tom
24:04
Speaker 1: Brady is his Patriots career. The rest is annoying, ubnoxious,
24:08
Speaker 1: and worthless. Like Brady himself shots fired there from shit.
24:12
Speaker 1: I think he did win a championship with TJ. Reeves
24:15
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, if I'm not mistaken. So they did
24:18
Speaker 1: win a little bit of a championship. So that's not
24:21
Speaker 1: a terrible thing there. We'll take your calls. Eight seven
24:23
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox is the number eight seven
24:27
Speaker 1: seven nine nine six sixty three six'. Nine so there's
24:31
Speaker 1: been a bunch of quarterbacks that have already been. Hurt
24:33
Speaker 1: Joe burrow knocked, out likely for the season In, cincinnati he's.
24:36
Speaker 1: Gone Justin field's gonna miss The jets game this. WEEKEND
24:40
Speaker 1: jj McCarthy out In, Minnesota bye bye for. Now you've
24:45
Speaker 1: also got the quarterback In washington dinged, up might, play
24:49
Speaker 1: might not play this. Weekend and then you look down
24:52
Speaker 1: In atlanta and you're, like, WELL i know a cousin
24:56
Speaker 1: or a cousins that can come in, there and he's
25:01
Speaker 1: got some. Experience he could step in and. Play so
25:04
Speaker 1: what's going? On what is the latest scuttle? About you
25:06
Speaker 1: ask about the quarterback formerly of The Minnesota vikings and
25:09
Speaker 1: years ago with The Washington. Redskins what's this all? About,
25:12
Speaker 1: well it appears if you believe the reporting here that
25:17
Speaker 1: Kirk cousins is seen as quote done by a number
25:22
Speaker 1: of people around THE, nfl and that is why people
25:25
Speaker 1: haven't traded for Kirk, cousins because he is done. Right
25:30
Speaker 1: so a couple things on. This first of, ALL i
25:34
Speaker 1: don't buy. THIS i buy if The Atlanta falcons were
25:38
Speaker 1: willing to give Kirk cousins away for a nominal asking,
25:42
Speaker 1: price then they would be able to trade. Him so
25:47
Speaker 1: does he look like he's on the back. Nine, absolutely
25:50
Speaker 1: he's on the back, nine and he might even be
25:53
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse having On Arnold palmer right. Now, however
25:57
Speaker 1: you look at the financials on the he's making this,
26:02
Speaker 1: YEAR i believe what is it average anuaalside forty five
26:06
Speaker 1: million dollars From atlanta out after this. YEAR i know
26:13
Speaker 1: you're very concerned about the economics Of Kirk cousins and
26:16
Speaker 1: all that At. Atlanta if they, want they can get
26:20
Speaker 1: out of that contract at the end of the. Year
26:22
Speaker 1: so that, would in theory mean that If cousins is
26:24
Speaker 1: traded to The vikings or The, bengals then that that could.
26:29
Speaker 1: Happen so the WAY i read the, room the second
26:31
Speaker 1: part of this is the WAY i read the room
26:32
Speaker 1: is that these teams want to see what they have
26:35
Speaker 1: with the backup, quarterbacks like In Cincinnati Jake, browning who
26:39
Speaker 1: actually looked halfway decent a while. Back when he plays
26:42
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be, okay and then if he. Stinks
26:45
Speaker 1: remember the trade deadlines not for a, while we got
26:47
Speaker 1: we got another month or so to go a little
26:51
Speaker 1: over a month to the trade, Deadline so you got
26:53
Speaker 1: plenty of time to manipulate and to play around with
26:56
Speaker 1: it and see what you. Got you don't have to
27:01
Speaker 1: like rush into. It you don't have to rush into,
27:04
Speaker 1: it so you can kind of. Wait and so that's
27:06
Speaker 1: my that's my theory on this as. Well Regarding Kirk.
27:12
Speaker 1: Cousins BUT i, mean, listen the, guys the guy was
27:14
Speaker 1: pretty bad last. Year they, claim, well his campus, say
27:17
Speaker 1: OH i was, hurt that's why he didn't get a
27:18
Speaker 1: chance to, play and all that stuff that was that
27:21
Speaker 1: was the. Issue but, man it is you got Brock
27:26
Speaker 1: perty who's. Out maybe he comes, back BUT i don't
27:30
Speaker 1: think he's going TO i don't think he's going to
27:32
Speaker 1: play his chance he's going to. Play so it's it's
27:35
Speaker 1: great that they much like. Baseball my theory on football
27:39
Speaker 1: much like. Baseball they baby it's like The dodgers coddle
27:42
Speaker 1: all these pitchers and they all run over to The
27:45
Speaker 1: South bay IN la to Get Tommy john. Surgery and in,
27:48
Speaker 1: football the players don't, press they don't practice, physically they
27:53
Speaker 1: don't play in exhibition games out of an abundance of,
27:55
Speaker 1: caution and then they get hurt. Anyway so but you'd
27:58
Speaker 1: rather they get hurt during. Game well maybe if they
28:01
Speaker 1: played a little. More maybe if they played a little,
28:04
Speaker 1: more they might actually grow some what's the scar? TISSUE
28:09
Speaker 1: i guess is the believe that's the. Term there go
28:11
Speaker 1: a little scar tissue and then they'll be they'll be
28:14
Speaker 1: good to go By Is coop there by the, WAY
28:15
Speaker 1: i haven't heard From. Coop i've been doing the show
28:16
Speaker 1: for thirty six. Minutes is he there by the? WAY
28:18
Speaker 1: i don't? Know is he in the? Building? Yeah oh? There, okay? Good,
28:22
Speaker 1: anyway we'll take your calls at eight, seven seven ninety
28:25
Speaker 1: nine On fox eight seven seven nine, nine six sixty six.
28:29
Speaker 1: Nine NOW. J. J McCarthy one of those injured, quarterbacks
28:33
Speaker 1: and he's in the. Boot he is in the boot right.
28:38
Speaker 1: Now and they, SAY i love the early reports From kevin,
28:43
Speaker 1: O'Connell the coach of The, vikings like, well McCarthy's responding
28:47
Speaker 1: very well to the ankle. Injury it's how many days has?
28:51
Speaker 4: It?
28:51
Speaker 1: Big it's been a few, days responding Very how do
28:54
Speaker 1: you like? It come? On these these over the top reports?
28:59
Speaker 1: ARE i find them a. Music it's LIKE i remember
29:05
Speaker 1: back in the day WHEN i was around baseball players a,
29:06
Speaker 1: lot and anytime a player had an, operation the immediate
29:12
Speaker 1: news release went out and it said that so and
29:15
Speaker 1: so his operation was, successful and that was the that
29:19
Speaker 1: was the statement from the. Team it was a successful
29:22
Speaker 1: operation and all. That she's, like, okay that's that's. Wonderful
29:26
Speaker 1: and of course a couple of those were. Not in,
29:29
Speaker 1: fact one of the people THAT i was around a
29:32
Speaker 1: little bit he had elbow surgery and was never the
29:35
Speaker 1: same the rest of his career because the surgeon botched
29:39
Speaker 1: the operation and as a result of, that as a
29:43
Speaker 1: result of, that he ended his career. Prematurely but they
29:47
Speaker 1: said when he had the, operation he, said, well it
29:49
Speaker 1: was a successful, operation nothing nothing to worry, about so everything's.
29:55
Speaker 1: Good and it turned out not to be the. Case
29:59
Speaker 1: the case all, Right The Green Bay gobbler has checked.
30:02
Speaker 1: In by the, way we'd like to alert all the
30:03
Speaker 1: affiliates down the line that The Green Bay gobbler has checked. In,
30:09
Speaker 1: Wow so we can continue on with the, normal normal.
30:14
Speaker 1: Show one of the funny things the other night In,
30:19
Speaker 1: tampa or actually was In, houston The buccaneers and The Houston.
30:23
Speaker 1: Texans you had clear at the end of the game
30:28
Speaker 1: when The buccaneers defense they did what we call The
30:32
Speaker 1: mattador defense ooray o ola, oa the Old matador defense
30:38
Speaker 1: there where they kind of stood down and allowed not
30:41
Speaker 1: kind of they. Did they stood down and Allowed houston to,
30:44
Speaker 1: score which turned out to be. Brilliant they Allowed Nick
30:46
Speaker 1: chubb to score a. Touchdown So Todd bowles was asked
30:49
Speaker 1: about that seemed rather obvious to anyone watching the game
30:52
Speaker 1: that it Was mattador defense by The buccaneers and they
30:55
Speaker 1: essentially Escorted Nick chubb into the end. Zine houston could
31:00
Speaker 1: not run the. Ball they were horrific at running the
31:04
Speaker 1: ball pretty much the entire. Night and then all of a,
31:06
Speaker 1: Sudden Nick chubb breaks away for a twenty five yard
31:09
Speaker 1: touchdown run against a Stout buccaneer defense with just over
31:14
Speaker 1: two minutes, remaining in the, game almost like that was
31:18
Speaker 1: part of the plan to Give Baker mayfield the ball
31:22
Speaker 1: at the very end there and allow The buccaneers to come.
31:24
Speaker 1: Back and they did eventually score the game winning touchdown
31:28
Speaker 1: in the final ten seconds of that. Game so get
31:31
Speaker 1: to the, point, Please so a reporter Asked tampa Coach
31:36
Speaker 1: Todd bowles said if the plan was to Allow Nick
31:39
Speaker 1: chubb to, score and he responded by, saying, QUOTE i
31:46
Speaker 1: don't think it. Matters he, said we won the, game
31:50
Speaker 1: so we'll go from there close quote all, Right so
31:55
Speaker 1: the answer, me let me dissect that here From. Todd
32:00
Speaker 1: what he is saying IS i am not allowed to
32:03
Speaker 1: say we allowed the team to score because of, gambling all,
32:08
Speaker 1: right because these people bet on these, games they bet
32:12
Speaker 1: on props and, Whatnot and you're not allowed to allow
32:16
Speaker 1: the other team to. Score and if you say the
32:19
Speaker 1: other team, scored if you announced that the other team
32:22
Speaker 1: scored and you allowed them to, score then that will
32:26
Speaker 1: lead to what that will lead to a, lawsuit is
32:28
Speaker 1: What that's. Correct that will lead to a. Lawsuit and
32:32
Speaker 1: someone is going to sue THE nfl now that they
32:36
Speaker 1: likely won't. Win it'll be a frivolous lawsuit, because as
32:38
Speaker 1: we mentioned in previous episodes of the, show THE nfl
32:41
Speaker 1: technically is an entertainment, company so they are allowed THE,
32:46
Speaker 1: nfl they are allowed to if they. Want they can fix.
32:51
Speaker 1: Anything it's like professional. Wrestling they're not really a sports company.
32:54
Speaker 1: Competition they're an entertainment, company so they can mess around with.
32:57
Speaker 1: It so, ANYWAY i love That Todd. Bowles he, knows
33:00
Speaker 1: he knows what he's allowed to say and what he's
33:03
Speaker 1: not allowed to. Say you cannot you cannot go. There
33:06
Speaker 1: that is. Forbidden it is, taboo absolutely taboo to go.
33:11
Speaker 1: There cannot do, it cannot do. It it is The Ben Maler.
