• 2:19
  Speaker 1: couple months back, said there's on the podcast, the Fifth
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Hour podcast they do on the weekends, and there was like,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know you do a talk show. Oh you do
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is talk about sports every day. It's going to be
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: so boring. And there are days like this when I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: walk into the radio station and into the studio here
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, well that's not boring. And our lead
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: this hour from Ann Arbor, Michigan, now I gotta tell you,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And every day you wake up, you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have no idea, Like when you do a show like this,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna be talking about. You imagine, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: probably some NFL story, or somebody will say something stupid
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in basketball or baseball or something like that. I did
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: not have this on my bingo card as I woke
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: from my hibernation, a very brief hibernation. Did not did
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not anticipate that we would be talking college football, certainly
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: not about Michigan. I look at the college football playoff
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and I don't see the Wolverines in there at all.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But everyone is talking about what has happened here and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Ann Arbor. So if you somehow have been out of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the loop, you're not in the loop. Loop Boy, have
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you missed out? My god? Oh man, I need to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: take a shower. I need to take a shower. If
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you didn't see this, perhaps not so. Michigan has said
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: bye bye. They have said get out of here. Sharon Moore,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the head coach shockingly fired by school in Michigan. They
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: said get out of here. And people were confused initially,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: like what is this about? We don't understand. Then the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: details started to drip out, and you realize that it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was for cause, which means Sharon mooreris cooked and second
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: full season at the Helm there for the World Rings
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and that's it. Termination the result of an inappropriate relationship
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: between Moore and a staff member who, according to the Internet,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he was stooping. Following a university investigation, they claimed they
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: had credible evidence, apparently a whole lot of it, that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: found that Coach Moore engaged in what we call because
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we're on the radio and we're all we're all kids,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: making whoopee with a staff member. How about that going
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to poundtown. So this conduct constituted a clear violation of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the university policy and blah blah blah, the lawyers got involved.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: We have zero tolerance for such behavior. Now more was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: detained actually by the cops in a suburb of ann Arbor,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a corner to Internet reports, he let's just say, he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: kind of went off the edge there and threatened himself and,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: according to Internet reports, threatened the I guess we'll call
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: her the side check at her house there. And so
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he's been popped on an alleged assault charge. Yeah, so
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you think you had a bad day, I would say
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: this would be this would be a worse day. Moore
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: had a buyout of around fourteen million dollars. But wait,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: there's more so about fourteen million dollars. So because he
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: was fired for cause, and from what I've been hearing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: from people I've been texting, there's a lot of digital evidence,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Michigan is likely not going to have to pay hardly
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: any of that. That's it. So he woke up, think
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: about this, he woke up as the Michigan football coach.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: He ended the day in police custody and lost fourteen
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: million dollars. Okay, that is a good jumping off point.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question, can you unpack your many
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the downfall of Sharon Moore? We barely knew
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you as the Michigan football coach, So my thoughts on this,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I've got Timeshare, Dua, Lipa and lobster roll, and we
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. And may I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: recommend Sharon Moore go to Express Pros. They'll help you out.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: They're not currently this week in advertisement, but they will
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: be back, and so go to Express Pros. Put your
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: resume up there maybe and get a job somewhere. All right,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So a let's dive headfirst into the amazing blue melo drama.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm all about the melodrama. So this day
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it felt to me similar to the day when the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Manti teow scandal came out. If you remember, if you're
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: old enough to remember that, it was a it was
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a football player, good college player, bad NFL player, bad commentator.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: But Manti Teyoo with the day the scandal broke about
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: his fake dead girlfriend is like you couldn't click fresh
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: fast enough on the socials because there was something new
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: every two minutes. It was wild. Except we think in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the difference the juxtaposition between Sharon Moore and Mantaitos, we
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: think all of these people are real people. We believe
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: all of these people are real people. Now, Sharon Moore
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: did not just torpedo his Michigan career. He lit the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: fuse and he poured gasoline on top of it and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: then stood there and warmed his hands. He rubbed his
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: hands together, is what he did. This was an infomercial
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: like twist. You think you're buying the blender. You saw
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the infomercial. You called the toll free number for the blender,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: so you want the blender, and it turns out that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you didn't get the blender. You actually called the wrong
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: number and you called the infomercial. You bought the other thing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You bought a timeshare in Disasterville, and that is where
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Charon Moore bought a timeshare Disasterville. The self inflicted. Be
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: very clear about this. It's self inflicted and plosion worthy
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of a late night syndication block. We got to bring
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: back the old school hits from years ago. I'm talking
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Jerry Springer, like Chaos, Maury Povich Fallout, will throw Judge
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Judy's attitude in there as well and roll them all
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: into a nice cast role. But we'll put the Wolverines
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: logo on top of the cast role. Okay, so you've
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: got what do you got? You got shock value reports
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that the side chick had a baby that was eliminated
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: paternity test. You've got the cheating scandal, You've got family feud,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You've got some bizarre life choices that were being made here.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And also much like those great classic shows of the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: early two thousands in the nineties, like Jerry Springer, which
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I think ended like ten years ago, but it was
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: on for most of this the last twenty years and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you have audience participation. Now, on those shows, you had
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: ooo and cheering, and you know, sometimes they joined the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: cast on this. We just had social media. We're all
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: rubbernecking and keeping an eye on this. The moment those
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: first messages buzzed on my phone, Hey you see this, mallor.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I knew. I knew this was going to be something
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: more than just some polite hr situation. This was hide
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the kids, grab the popcorn, big movie theater, bucket of popcorn,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: extra butter, extra butter. A romantic I don't know if
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: romance is really the right word, but a very enjoyable relationship,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I guess for at least one of the people, maybe both,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. With what appears to be based on
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: photographs that you all found on the internet. You internet
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: investigators of the woman a crevacous staffer at the University
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of Michigan. Based on the Internet investigation, she got this
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is so great, so the alley. Again, this is all alleged.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It's alleged exactly. The allegation is that the young lady,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: she was just a low level staffer at Michigan and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: then about the time she started doing some gymnastics with
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the head football coach. He got a fifty five percent raise,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: which I think, I think is in the hush money playbook.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I have to go read the hush
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: money playbook, but I believe it is. But wait, there's more.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So she got a fifty five percent raise, I guess
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: she was really good at her job. And you had
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: donors bolting like they heard the fire alarm, the boosters
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: at Michigan because this started making the rounds in back channels,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing was masterpiece of mayhem, is what
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it was. So Sharon Moore, the now former head football
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: coach at Michigan, he didn't just fumble the bag. He
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: dumped fourteen million dollars buyout money off a bridge. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the second you hear four cause and that enters the chat,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you're porked. Yeah, And well, I guess he got porked
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: in more ways than one. But Michigan gets to take
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: part in the executive level ghosting. And so this story
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: is a couple of conflicting timelines. The one that I've
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: been hearing a lot here as I've been keeping track
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of this is that this started about a month ago,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: about a month ago and mid November, and insiders felt
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that the walls were vibrating in ann Arbor. There were
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: people whispering, Assistant coaches were worried they were going to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: lose their job. And in the end, Sharon Moore did
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: not really lose his job. He gift wrapped it, placed
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it on the curb and yelled, bulk trash, pick up.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Come on, pick this peece wow, I mean my good
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it out. Continuing the theme of the hour all right question.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Some are saying that the stank from the Charon More
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: scandal will put a fog over the Michigan football program
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that will last for years. It's kind of like, unfortunately
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the water in Flint, Michigan. It's been fed up for
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a long time. So where do you fall on this one?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: So there's no question the Charon Moore scandal palooza, as
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: we're calling it, is a hum dinger of a story.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It is just amazing from all angles. We are merely
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: rubbernecking here, and we're only in the opening credits on
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the drama Arama. This is only the opening credits here,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and then in the scandal Malard Power rankings one to ten.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: This is about a twelve. It's about a twelve right.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: This is a gourmet serving of tabloid fodder, is what
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: this is. Now. The Naked City never sleeps, and neither
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: do we, and right now it is feasting time. Feeding
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: frenzy is going on where every morsel of this story
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: is being nibbled on, not on, devoured. It's like a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: delicious three layer chocolate cake, is what it is. And
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it's barbarian cruelty. I cannot wait till twenty twenty seven.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine the Netflix docu series on trharn Moore's
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: downfall at Michigan Hole League? Crap on a cracker man?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Is that gonna be good? It's good TV. That'll be great, So,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I you know, Netflix, it can't make it yet because
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the story's going on right now. But that's gonna be
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: some kind of a docu series. Now, that's it. I'm
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: gonna step back a couple of steps here to quote
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the great William Shakespeare, because all great sports talk radio
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: needs to quote William Shakespeare. The Buck Guys fan doff
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: protest too much, methinks because a lot of the dog
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: pile is from Ohio state. Phase I get it. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: understand you guys arrivals, and you have your fun shot
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in Freud and all that. But let's not act like
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this is Macbeth at the Big House. Because I've done
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: some malor math on this. I've crunched the numbers. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: if Sharon Moore had one more, all right, if he
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: had won more at Michigan, we wouldn't know about any
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of this. This would have gone away faster than a snapchat.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It just would have been gone. And when performance dips
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the algebra. When performance dips, morality suddenly matters. When performance
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is great, you look the other way on morality. You
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: would have gotten this young lady a nice island somewhere
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in the Bahamas or wherever, and go live a nice life.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: We'll pay a couple hundred thousand dollars a year because
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: we've got a great football coach. If Michigan, I'll give you.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: If Michigan was playing, I can't believe I'm saying this
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: playing as the Indiana Hoosiers are this year, or heaven forbid,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: their blood rival Ohio State also preparing for with the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: college football playoff. This would have been a dua lipa special.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Boys will be boys right covered up like you know,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it's kind of covering it up from going from a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: bikini and then you're on the beach and you go
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: from wearing a bikini to a move. Move. Well, you've
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: covered up a lot of real estate with the moon
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: move right, And so if you're good, you put the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: moon MoU on, you cover it up. If not, it's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the bikini and all that effect. It's actually a nude beach.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: So instead, Sharon Moore was seventeen and eight, which is
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not terrible, but it's not great in the last couple
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of years, and Michigan failed to reach the college football
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Playoff under his tutelage. So long term, I maintained this
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: is a mosquito bite in the nil era where the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: kids and the coaches are pig skin mercenaries, money talks
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and loyalty walks. So Michigan will be just fine. They'll
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: hire a pretty good coach and they've got a lot
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of money to play with. Now, speaking of that, the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: last word here the business at so question where does
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Michigan turn The coaching carousels pretty much ended. Lane Kiffin
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: was the big one and he left Ole miss to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: go to LSU, and that was like the last big
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: whale that was out. So where does Michigan turn as
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it's next full time football coach? So this is where
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you start sniffing that pungent coaching carousel aroma. It's like
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: someone left a lobster roll that's been sitting out in
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the sun during the summer for a couple of weeks
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and it just starts nasty. This always comes back to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the B word boosters. Right, they're the back They're in
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the back alleys right now. I imagine, at least in my head,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: they're wearing trench coach and they're whispering, hey, how much
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: would it take for you to coach Michigan? Right, they're
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: looking to pilfer their next savior and spoiler alert, I'm
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: gonna go out of limb say he ain't gonna be
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a Michigan man. And they're not gonna go with the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Michigan man. Now, the mythology is that you're you're getting
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that that Michigan aura and all that, and you have
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to find someone with some kind of connection. I say,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: hit the pause button on that, and so on your march,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: get set and go. Let the poaching games begin. The
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: poaching games again. It is a musical chairs game on
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: jet fuel, and again Michigan is way behind the curve here,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: way behind, and everyone else already grabbed their guy. All right,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So regardless the brand I believe still plays, am I old, Yeah,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you're old. Michigan doesn't matter anymore. They've just won the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: championship a couple years ago with hardball. I still put
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: them there, and that the blue blood in college football.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: They're one of the top five in college football all time.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It's Broadway, it's the Coliseum, it's all that stuff, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: so they can swing for the fences. Now what we're
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: hearing here, The hot name in the echo chamber is
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Kaylan de Boor, which would then lead to a trickle
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: down effect because we know the Alabama fan base is
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: not smitten with Klen de Boor. The problem is they're
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. There is a world where Alabama wins
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the national championship in college football. There's also a world
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: where they get knocked out in their first opportunity. And
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: if that happens that we'll speed up the process. It
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: will expedite the process. But it doesn't seem like the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Boor's beloved in Alabama, and they've been grumbling about him,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and so they got smoked by Georgia in the SEC
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Championship game. The boar does have Midwest blood. He's a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Midwestern lad, and he's had success pretty much everywhere. He's been,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: just not up to the standard of Nick Saban at Alabama,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and he checks just about every box at Michigan, although
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think he knows the fight song. I don't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: think he knows the fight song, and that's a bit
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of a problem. But the other options. If you want
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: someone who's currently not working, you got Brian Kelly, who
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: is there a Michigan accent he can learn. He underwhelmed
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: at LSU. I'm sure there'll be some John Gruden rumors
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that's not happening, But again, listen, the Naked City never sleeps,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and neither do do we, and buckle up. If anything
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: happens here in the overnight, we'll let you know. The
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: carousel is spinning round and round and round and round
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and round. It's a tilta whirl in a windstorm. This

  Speaker 1: go back to that at some point, but in the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: moments that we have ahead of us right now we
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: head to Indianapolis. I don know who's your bill. Very
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: excited that the Colts are getting a lot of attention.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: So the story of the week continues to be that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the grandpa left his grandson and left the loyal Order
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of the Moose Lodge to return to the league. And
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers had his first dance with the media on Wednesday.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: The Beat reporters who cover the Indianapolis Colts. I don't
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: know if you heard any of what he had to say.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you did not, But Philip Rivers said the money
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: quote here as he said, he is not the behavior
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: or a hero. He said, quote. I'm not here to
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: save the year or to be the hero by any means,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: he claimed. At his news conference, he said, we we
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: got to stink and run the crap out of the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: football and play defense, he said. He also acknowledged the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: legitimate possibility of injury and says, you essentially said you
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: don't know until you do it whether or not that's
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: going to happen. So whether you can do it, that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping all points. So I'll let us
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: discuss the question Philip Rivers will work off the money
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: quote the question Philip Rivers says he didn't join the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Colts to save the year or to be their hero.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Is that how this works? So I've got terry toons,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: finesse and penalty flag, and we'll put all of these
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: things together. We're gonna play Connect three is what we're
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: gonna do. So number number all right. So I am
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: shaking my head. Stop, I'm shaking my head. No, my
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: eyes are closed. I'm shaking my head. No, rapidly, rapidly, rapidly, rapidly. No.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: All right, so uh stop it, all right. Message to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers from the overnight. That is exactly why you
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: are in Indianapolis, all right. That is exactly why, Philip Rivers,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: you are wearing a Colt uniform. They did not wake
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: up one morning and say, you know what, we need
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a forty four year old game manager who is not
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: going to be our our hero. Come on, Daniel Jones,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: who was going the wrong direction. Let's be honest here
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: he was not playing that well. He then went snap,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: crackle pop. The season's wobbling like a three legged table
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: at a diner at a bistro. And the Colts, what
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: do they do? Who are you gonna call? They called
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the Grandpaul Emergency line, and they called the Grandpa Emergency hotline.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: They wanted the old gun slinger riding in with his
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: bolo tie glistening, ready to play firefighter. Put out the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: fire firefighter, all right, I will fine whatever, and don't
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: tell me that he's not there to save anything. Come on,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: if they wanted just a warm body, they did pick
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: up Brett Rippon, who is just a warm body. They
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: could have gotten anyone to play quarterback who would have
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: been as cam Ward would say, ass And the Colts
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: what they are banking on and what they're counting on
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers is terrytoons. Rivers is the iconic cartoon
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: character Mighty Mouse, whether he likes it or not, Here
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I come to save the day. It's mighty Mouse. How
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: come all the cartoon characters in the early days were
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: all like Mickey Mouse, Mighty Mouse? What's up with that? Anyway?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: That is the assignment that is the assignment for Philip Rivers,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and the quotes, and we gave you some of them.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: The quotes are just philip Rivers trying to downplay the expectation,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: soften the landing, lower the bar. Either way, Indy, they
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: need more than just the training wheels if this is
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: gonna work. They go into Seattle hostile situation. All Seattle's
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: not that great at home, and you got Sam Darnold,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: who's a walking mistake, as no stradinas knows. And so
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the Colts, though, they're banking on that this guy is
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: going to be someone not just another guy. He's gonna
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: be someone who can transform that harmless goldfish offense and
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: turn that into an offense that's as fearsome as a
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: barracouter and as leathles as an a giant anaconda. That's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: what they're banking on now, page two. So with the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Colts going into full Grandpa mode as they are, there's
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: some video clips of Philip Rivers practicing. And I don't
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: know if you've seen this. I don't think Stevie Meetball
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: seen in or Ink of Terror or Blind Scot, but
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: there's video clips of Rivers practicing with Indy and they've
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: gone viral, and many people are saying, well, he looked terrible.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Look like he hasn't hasn't missed a meal and the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: throws were not that great. So the question are you
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: drawing any kind of conclusions from the grainy philip rivers
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: practice tape? Are there any conclusions that you are drawing?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: So we find this to be hilarious, like people are
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: losing their collective minds over what I saw was kind
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of grainy. I don't know if it was really Bigfoot quality,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Bigfoot quality philip rivers practice tape shot on what appears
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to be like an O three Nokia flip phone. Like
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: everybody grab a brown paper bag. There is no need
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: to hyperventilate. You do not need to hyperventilate. The critics
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: are shouting, there's no velocity, he's got no zip on
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the throws, and that one throw looks like it took
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: five business days to get to the receiver and all that.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: But spoiler alert, philip rivers. This has not been talked
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: about it at all. Nobody else has this take. I'm
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the only one. It's an original take. He's a grandpa
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: and he's forty four years old. By NFL standards. Philip
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Rivers is the epitome of a museum exhibit. It's a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: traveling museum exhibit wearing cleats. Now regardless, here's the plot
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: twist in the Malor movie, because we make movies here
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the Malor movie. Rivers, based on the clip that I saw,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: looks almost identical to the way he looked when he
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: last played in the NFL. He is a right handed craftsman.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: He never even in his salad days with the old
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers, he never threw the heater. Never. He
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: made a career out of being a finesse pitcher, beguiling
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: defenses right, mixing the change up with the slider and
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the loopy, loopy, loopy breaking ball that defy physics and
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the ball flutters and it wobbles and all that, and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it should work. And think of
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: it more along lines of two a tongue of eye looa,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: although more success like an upgrade. I don't know if
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: he's got fewer dance and played in a few years,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: so he's likely in good condition there and that kind
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: of funky shot put delivery and it's still there. It
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: was effective, Will it be effective? Still we'll find out
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the real superpower. The real superpower of Philip Rivers has
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: always been the A and a game, anticipation and accuracy
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: and the most important skill set. Remember the great Mike Leach.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I loved Mike Leach. He died not that long ago,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and he always said, the most important thing is accuracy.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Everything else you can figure out. You don't have to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: have the cannon for the arm. People get all horny
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: for the cannon for the arm. But she got to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: have accuracy. That's the most important skill and Rivers has
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: usually had that. And anticipation, which is another way of
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: saying reading defenses, knowing when to get rid of the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: ball so you don't get killed. It's not about arm strength.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't like to hear that
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: because they get all excited at the NFL draft because
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: this guy throws the ball really amazingly and then he's
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: not accurate and all that. And Rivers during the regular
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: season has been fine. He's never been a good big
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: game quarterback. And so in terms of putting the bow
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: on this any conclusions from the tape, the conclusion I
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: have is simple, he is who he's always been. He's
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: who he thought he was. And the Colts know exactly
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: that type of play he played for them at the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: end before he retired and then came back, and so
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: they know what they're getting now. If Seattle ends up
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: jumping out to a two touchdown lead early, this can
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: get really bad. And it's gonna get Uga lead with
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a Capitol you all right, final point to Philadelphia we
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: go and fresh off that turnover debacle in the hood
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: in Inglewood and up to no good game. I was
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: at the Charger Eagle Monday night game. I was an
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: eyewitness there. The Eagles got back to the Delaware Valley
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and much to the surprise of Fry Daddy and Jonathan
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: in Delaware, the Eagles have said we no longer are
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: in the rabbit business. Rabbit rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Yep, they
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: said bye bye to the positivity rabbit. You remember we
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: talked about this last week. In an effort to help
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: team morale, the Eagles did whatevery grown up would do.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: They brought in an inflatable rabbit. They put the rabbit
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: on waivers. Now the inflatable Easter Bunny has been cut fired,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: sent to the waiver wire. Whatever you want to say,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: given the pink slip, etc. Et cetera, et cetera. So
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the question, here's the question, the Eagles removing the positivity rabbit,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: rabbit rabbit from the locker room. Give me your reaction,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: because this is the kind of stuff you need on
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: your sports talk radio, right, this is the kind of
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: stuff this Only in Philadelphia could an inflatable rabbit become
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: part of the Eagles crisis management strategy that aj Brown
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: has messed that group up so much and lately Jalen
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: hurts that they have now gone to inflatables speak absurdity,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and fresh off the turnover debacle in La where they
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: literally got rid of the ball. They tried to get
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: rid of it like it was a live hand grenade,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the Birds have determined that that Easter bunny in the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: locker room was not a positivity rabbit. It was a
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: bad bunny and they don't want bad bunny. And that's it.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Get out of here, see you later. So let's call
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: this what it was and what it is it is
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: a wingbata saw wingbata swinging a miss with city. You
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: don't mess with the holiday calendar, and that's one of
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the problems here. Everything happens. Rat a tat tat, Rat
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: a tat tat, And they messed with the holiday calendar.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And when you mess with the holiday calendar, you get
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the record setting turnover performance, meaning you rolled out the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Easter Bunny in December, and you're asking for a cosmic
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: penalty flag, as Andrea the Astrology Insider would say, and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: they got a cosmic penalty flag, they being the Philadelihagles.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: And sure enough the giveaway squad of Philly handing out
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: possessions like promotional T shirts at a birthday party for
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: like the Philly Fanatic and Jalen Hurts. I saw it
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: made NFL history with an interception and fumble on the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: same play. And there's two plays now that I've seen
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: in my life as a witness that will likely not
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: happen again, at least in my lifetime. I was at
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: a Cardinal Dodger game, a little humble brag here way
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: back in the steroid boom times, and the Cardinals had
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: this guy for Nando Tatisse, who was either really gifted
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: athletically or I don't know, maybe he might have been
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: on something. I'm sure he would never do anything like that,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: but this guy hit two Grand slams in the same inning.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: It was. It was insane. It was absolute ridiculous against
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the against the Dodgers. But and so now Jalen hurts
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the fumble, well, the interception then the fumble and all
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But it's listen, it's not That was not quarterbacking.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: That was like riding shotgun on the vomit comet is
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: what that was. And that's what happened. And the inflatable
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: rabbit never had a chance, and it was it was
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it was jinxd with a with a pump to blow
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: it up with air and all that. And so I say,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: forget balloons. The Eagles are in such a bad spot.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: They're Mojoe's so messed up there in Philly that they
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: need an emotional support animal. Now I recommend Fats in Philadelphia,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: but I understand he's got a family and he's not available,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: So they can't hire Fats as an emotional sport animal.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: How about a miniature horse, a horse, of course? How
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: about that right, because right now they're playing like road apples. Yeah,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: they can get a horse in there. They're like they
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: drop road apples all over the fifty yard line. So
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: bring in the horse. Of course, of course, of course.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: To the third degree, this is one Big Ben gets.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Grill cool Ben.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: The Steelers have to win two more games this season
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: to break an NFL record and have twenty two consecutive
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: seasons above five hundred.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Do you think it's a lock bend.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Based on the schedule, Yes, obviously injuries changed that. But
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the Dolph they play the Dolphins. I believe Monday night
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: we got the Browns also and they played the Ravens.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: They also played Detroit. They'll lose that game, but there's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: three winnable games. They'll win two of those. They win
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the Browns game and I don't already lost to them,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and they'll beat the Dolphins, so they'll get that number,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: even with Aaron Rodgers having issues.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Next, the Lakers are seventeen and seven, and there are
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: a couple games out of second place Aaron game out.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Of second place in the Western Conference.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: However, in a recent podcast appearance, Lebron's agent Rich Paul said, quote,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: I personally don't think the Lakers are good enough to
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: be contenders? Not right now? And what do you think
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: that's about?
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Uh, he wants to be fired by Lebron or he's
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: trying to downplay. Yeah, the Lakers have issue. I mean,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: they're not a great interior defensive team. It's little stuff
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: like it depends on matchups in the playoffs. They're not
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: a great perimeter defensive team. They also turn the ball
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: over a lot, so I mean there are It's like
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: minor stuff, but it's the kind of stuff that will
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: have you lose a playoff series. So and I did
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: actually watch some of that Spurs game and they got
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: their ask get every time twenty most of the second
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and Wendy was on the bench. That was not good. Next.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Orlando Magic have won eleven of their last
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: fifteen games and have seven players averaging double digit scoring.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: But do you think they've established themselves as legit contenders?
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I love Desmond Man. He didn't play well early
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: this year is still early, but he's played well lately.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: And there they are. I'd say there's a threat. There's
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: no one that's unbeatable or invincible in the East. They
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: are a top five defensive team so far and they're
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a physical team. Yeah, they look like a good bet
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: in the pluffs. How do we do pass this edition day?
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: They've put it on the board.
• 37:36
