  Speaker 1: of veteran players out of Indianapolis. A couple of name

  Speaker 1: brand players have been sent packing into the transfer portal
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to We asked the question, is DeForest Buckner a smart
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: pickup for the 49ers or just another expensive gamble on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: an aging veteran, something that John Lynch has mastered there
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in the Bay Area? And what stands out about Seattle
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: picking up guard Quentin Nelson from the Colts, the well-decorated
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman goes from Indy to the Pacific Northwest. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: in baseball, Jorge Posada feels alienated from the New York
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Yankees because of a beef with Brian Cashman. What jumps
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: out to you about this one? We'll talk about that

• 3:54
  Speaker 1: newbie night. And there's more World Series to go. Now, Nubian,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: if you're someone that's unfamiliar, if you're uneducated, in the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: lexicon of the Malheur Militia. The newbie night is supposed
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to be once a month. We often forget about it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be once a month, once a month,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and we give all the regulars, all the people that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: we pay to call in, because no one will actually
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: call the show unless they get paid. We give all
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the people that we pay the night off, and it's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: all newbies, and it's a lot of fun. These are
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: people that have real lives and jobs and insomnia and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and they call in, and it's great,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and we catch up with them, and then we forget
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: about them for another month, and so this is that night.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to the newbies in a moment. And
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: much of the World Series going on, that will continue
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. So we'll have another game, another opportunity
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: for the Brewers to close it out with the Miz.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: They better win that game. They don't win that game. Uh-oh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we got a problem. But Tampa Bay stays alive for now. Meanwhile,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour from Indianapolis. From Indianapolis, the Colts,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: not a good team. And they have said, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey, goodbye,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to trying to win. They've given up. They've tossed in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the sponge, whatever phrase you want to use, on the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: 2026 season, turning Lucas Oil Stadium into an NFL liquidation
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: outlet store. Everything must go. Bargains galore in the Hoosier State.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Come on down. So if you have not been following,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: perhaps not, there were some whispers over the weekend that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the Colts, after their loss to the Minnesota football team,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: were going to start unloading players. And most of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: time you say, well, that's just Internet gossip. No, it's happened.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It's happened. The 49ers went shopping at the Lucas Oil
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Stadium NFL liquidation outlet store. The Niners picked up defensive
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: tackle DeForest Buckner, reunited, and it feels so good. He
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: did play for the Niners and then was decommissioned and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: unloaded back during the pandemic season of 2020. He was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: sent off to Indianapolis. The price? A measly 2027 fourth-round pick.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's it. Now, that led to tight end George Kittle.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a fan favorite of Eileen, although she likes Jimmy Garoppolo more,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Eileen in San Francisco. So George Kittle celebrating the move
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: for the San Francisco football team, posting, Defoe! The boys
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: are back! The boys are back! It's good jumping off point.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. Is DeForest Buckner a smart
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: pickup for the 49ers or another expensive gamble for on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: an aging veteran? That is the question. So I've got
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Pokemon cards, Topgolf, and we also have, if that was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: not enough for you, the Samsonite suitcase. So we will
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we are going
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to play Connect 3. One, two, three. and three. See
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: how we did that? Yeah, one, two, and three. All right,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: so number one!
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Number one!
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Number one! Number one!
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So is the DeForest Buckner move a smart pickup or
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: just another expensive gamble for an aging player? The answer
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is this is on brand. It is on brand for
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the San Francisco football team. The 49ers are running an
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: assisted living facility, except you get to wear shoulder pads,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: so it's a little more fun. You get to wear
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: shoulder pads. They don't need another defensive tackle at this
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: point with all the players they've picked up they need
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: an orthopedic surgeon i'm not sure whether deforest buckner is
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a surgeon i didn't see that on the internet maybe
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: he is uh and so john lynch god bless him
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is out there shopping at the nfl scratch and dent
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: outlet and everything is marked down because everything's already broken
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that's available And forget an upgrade in the scouting department
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: or analytics for John Lynch. He needs an electrician, a radiologist,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and a priest at this point. That Niner team, we
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: saw them start to crumble against the Falcons over the weekend,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and that roster is not built for the long term.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: If this was like a two- or three-game season, you'd
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: bet on the Niners to win the Super Bowl. Unfortunately,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it's not. The 49ers at this point are collecting aging
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: players Injury-prone players like Pokemon cards. It's amazing. You've got
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to collect them all, right? You've got to get all
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Pokemon cards. In the Niners' case, you've got to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: get all the injuries. Like next up, the legendary, my
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: favorite Pokemon character, Nekosaurus. Really good, really good character in Pokemon. Nekosaurus.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So that would be Buckner, DeForest Buckner. who has more
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: miles at this point than a retired Greyhound bus. And yes,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I will concede, when DeForest Buckner is perfectly healthy, he
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: has been a difference maker. Of course, he's been around
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: for a long time. The problem, the San Francisco roster,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you look at the injury report week by week for
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the Niners, and it looks like the waiting room at
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the Mayo Clinic with all the players they've acquired, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it's like, you look at it, it's like the only
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: organization With more questionable neck issues, if you go down
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to the San Francisco Zoo, the Giraffe Rehabilitation Center, I'm
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: sure there's some giraffes there that have major problems with
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: their long necks, but you can call it a calculated risk,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure my friends like Ernesto and some of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the other Bay Area guys, Jay Scoop, who love the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Niners there, will say, hey, it's a calculated risk. You
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: can call it that if you want. That's fine. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: when you keep getting injured player after injured player, Maybe...
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: your calculator's broken. You might want to adjust the calculator.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: All right, now, that was not the only trade. That
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: was not the only trade. Page two, page two, we
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: go back to Indy. The sell-off started in the trenches.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: We only talk about fat guys on the offensive line
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: when they get drafted. when they do not block anyone
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and the quarterback gets killed, and then when they get
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: traded or released. That's it. The rest of the time,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we do not talk about offensive linemen. We don't. Well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about an offensive lineman. Seattle has
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: entered the chat. Seattle acquiring eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quentin
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Nelson as they send a 2027 third-round pick and a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: fifth-round pick in 2028. to the Indianapolis football team in return.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Nelson is 30. He is playing on an expiring contract.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I know you're concerned about that. And so he is
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a high-stakes rental, a gamble for the Seahawks. The question,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: what stands out to you? What stands out to you
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: about Seattle picking up veteran guard Quentin Nelson from the Colts?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So the thing that's rather obvious, and I don't know
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that anyone else has this particular take. I feel like
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm on an island. I'm on Take Island. I don't
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: know if this is good or bad that I'm on
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Take Island. There's a lot of praise. There's a lot
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of celebration of the Seattle Seahawks picking up Quentin Nelson.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: My position's a little different. I look at this as, oh,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: my God, they've actually done it. The Seahawks have done it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: This is a trip to the confessional booth. Seahawks GM
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: John Schneider... is saying to everyone, he's saying, bless me, Father,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: for I have sinned, as John Snyder is saying, admitting
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that his offensive line is not championship caliber in Seattle.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: He does not trust his offensive line. You would not
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: make this move. You would not give up draft capital.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: For a player who's aging and has a lot of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: wear and tear, unless you were convinced your offensive line
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is like the saying from the pirate years, there she blows!
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Just like that when they're at whale watching. Now, that's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: what that tells me. That's the real headline. The sub-headline is,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: it's also hot take validation, that Sam Darnold is not
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that guy. You're not that guy, pal. That Sam Darnold
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: cannot elevate... The roster, the current group, he cannot elevate them,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and they don't believe he can do that in the postseason.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And the roster, what they're telling you, Seattle's front office, is, listen,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this roster is not good enough because Sam Darnold is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: an inferior quarterback, and we know last year everything has
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to be perfect. You can win the Super Bowl with
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, but if anything goes wrong, you're absolutely porked.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely porked.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: You are.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And the way the roster's currently– constructed. And so this guy,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson... Do I grade offensive linemen? Hell no! I
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: don't grade offensive linemen. From what I've read, oh, he's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: got great pedigree, and he's still one of the better
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen in the NFL. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But he's also 30, and he has been hit more
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: times than a bucket of balls at Topgolf. There's a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: lot of hitting going on there, a lot of hitting.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And I actually looked under the Maller microscope. We dusted
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: off the Maller microscope, and it turns out he's got
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: more wear and tear. Quentin Nelson. Then the carpet on
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the midway at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. You ever
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: been to Circus Circus? I went there when I was
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a kid, like a long time ago, and I went
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: back a couple years ago, and it looked exactly the same.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: They hadn't changed the carpet. They hadn't changed anything. It
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was exactly the same. The same bubble gum stains were there.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: The vomit stains. Free parking. Free parking. The whole thing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I embrace that. Because I know that'll be the next
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: hotel they knock down in Vegas and they'll build some
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: mega hotel and I'll be like, oh, I wish they
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: were at Circus Circus. I mean, it's a terrible hotel,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: but it was really cool nostalgia-wise to walk around the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Midway and that Adventure Dome thing in the back and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: all that. Anyway, so the Seahawks are hoping that Quentin
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Nelson's engine still runs like it's 2018. Good luck. Good luck.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: All right, now, final point. We're going to move to baseball.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And no, I am not doing this for Supermarket Steve
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and Jill the Yankees fan, no. But there is a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: brouhaha that is developing involving the Yankees. The New York Yankees. Yes,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yankees legend Jorge Posada, El Capitan, says he feels unwelcome
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: around the franchise, even though he was part of the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Glory Days, the last... extended run of success for Yankee
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: baseball way back in the day. You got to be
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: old to remember the last great run of the Yankees.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: But he was part of that, and he said recently,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think they, meaning the Yankees, want me there.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: He revealed this during a recent podcast that no one
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: listened to. Posada, part of that core four back in
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the day with– Jeter and all those guys. He traces
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the bad blood, he says, to 15 years ago, 2011,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: when management reduced his role. He blames the front office,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: not then-manager Joe Girardi. And the Yankees GM Brian Cashman,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: who's got lifetime employment with the Yankees, declined comment. Of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: course he did. And despite that... The reunions have continued.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Posada shows up when the Yankees have a reunion of
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a World Series team. He also shows up for the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: old-timers games in the Bronx, but he says he feels
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: alienated by the Bronx Bombers, but he shows up to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: old-timers day and whatnot. So the question, you've got Jorge Posada,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: who feels alienated from the Yankees because of a beef.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Where's the beef? The beef with Brian Cashman. So what
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: jumps out to you about this one? So the thing
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: on this, somewhere there's a guy right now working a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: double shift at a gas station. We just last hour
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: with our buddy driving around delivering Uber Eats around Arizona.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And these guys are working their ass off. And we
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: were supposed to feel bad because Jorge Posada, Jorge Posada
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: did not get enough hugs last time he went to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: spring training for the Yankees. Okay. That's a bummer. That's
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a bummer. No hugs. Now, I admit, in a perfect world, which,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: by the way, we all know is not, but in
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a perfect world, everybody would be just holding hands at
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yankee Spring Training and Old Timers Day. They'd be holding
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: one hand, the other hand would be roasting marshmallows, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: they'd all be rhythmically singing Kumbaya. That's not the reality.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: This is not some kind of Greek tragedy. And oh,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, last I checked, Jorge Posada is a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: grown-ass man. He's 56 years old. He hasn't played for
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the Yankees in 15 seasons, his last game with the Yankees.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And yet, I love the fact that he's still carrying
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: around this emotional baggage that Like, from 2011, it's like
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a Samsonite suitcase with a broken wheel. And he's trying
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to get through the airport terminal. And, like, what are
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: we doing? Seriously. I'm amazed by the hubris. I shouldn't be,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: because this has been going on my entire life. But
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the hubris of professional athletes. Is there any other line
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: of work, any other line of work, where you try
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: walking in to your old office 15 years post-retirement, And
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: then you have the chutzpah to demand a standing ovation
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: from the accounting department. Like, what are you doing? I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: work here. I have a cool job. I love working here.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Someday I won't work here anymore. I'll work somewhere else
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: or I'll just stop working. But you think I'm going
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to come back here? They're going to have like a
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: big open the doors. Maller's coming back.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: No.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Hell no. And I see it, man. There were people
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I worked with here in the early days of Fox
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio. This place has been around for almost 30 years.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And a lot of these people that work here now
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: have no idea who Tony Bruno is or the people
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that started Fox Sports Radio back in the early days.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: They have no clue. And so this is the way
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it is. That's the way it should be. But yet
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in baseball, it's, oh, I want my ass kissed. I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: need my left tuckus cheek patted is what I need.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Stop.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: OK, like who does that? Other than in sports, Posada
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: wants the royal treatment from the Yankees. Somebody tell Jorge
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Posada the Yankees are not Buckingham Palace. This is not
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the actual royal situation. The Yankees did not exile Posada
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to Siberia. They did not. He made a lot of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: money and they stopped employing him. So that's a bummer.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The Yankees are a professional baseball team. Granted, they haven't
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: been that good in the playoffs in a long time,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: but they're not some kind of lifetime emotional support organization.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: They're not. They owe Jorge Posada a tip of the cap.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: He was part of some great teams for the Yankees,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: good accomplishments. The Yankees do not owe Jorge Posada anything.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a lifetime supply of warm fuzzies. They don't. And if
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you don't feel welcome, this just in, Jorge Posada, former Yankee,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: if you don't feel welcome, don't go. That's it. It's
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: not complicated. It's basic math. We're doing Malheur math. We're
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: not doing algebra and advanced calculus. If somebody doesn't make
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you feel welcome or they don't kiss your ass enough
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: because you're a diva, then just don't go. That's all.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Malheur Show. Simple advice. Simple advice.
• 20:05

  Speaker 1: newbie night at 877-99 on Fox. So straight ahead, one
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: of the great debacles of the college football season. Deion Sanders, man,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he's likely not long for Colorado. Boy, what a mess
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: that program is right now in terms of wins and losses. Well,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: now Deion Sanders has been accused of what? Deion Sanders
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: accused of what? We'll get to that. We'll take your calls.

  Speaker 1: We'll also have the Insta trivia. We'll get to all that,

  Speaker 1: and we will do it next.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: get anywhere else.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: on how football really works.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you have to replace.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show, Fox Sports Radio on a newbie night.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to the newbies coming up momentarily. In
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the meantime, if you want to join the fun, 877-99
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: on Fox. The regular callers have the night off. However,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it's all new people. The non-regulars have taken over, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: we think everyone's participating. It's been a lot of fun
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: so far. Keep it going on the X Machine. You
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: can be part of it there. At Ben Maller. That's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: at Ben Maller on the X-Machine.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Do good.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Lorena is here. She is right over there. FSR Tech Queen.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: It is no longer her birthday.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, darn it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: It's all over.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: The party has ended. But she's still here. And FSR
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Tech Queen Koopa Loop at all. Bronco fan. Koopa eating
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a hot dog earlier. I saw that in the hallway.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Could you smell it? I could smell it. No, I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: didn't spell it. I didn't spell it, but I saw it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't really smell, but.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Coop's here. I know Bronco fan, your comments can and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: will be used against you in the court of sports radio,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: so please act accordingly. So I was ranting about Jorge Posada,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and he's upset the Yankees don't give him the warm
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: fuzzies and all that, and we did that in the monologue,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the Colts having... A fire sale. Eileen in San Francisco says,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: you sound worried, Maller. I am definitely not worried about
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner. Because even if he goes out and has
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: four sacks in his 49er debut, by the third or
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: fourth game, he'll be on injured reserve. So I'm not
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: concerned about that. Chip in the Q's writes in, says
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: A-plus on the opening monologue, this hour Posada was a
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: great Yankee, but he isn't an all-time great. Cannot expect
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to be treated like Mickey Mantle or Derek Jeter. Nostradinus
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: from Seattle hanging out with Bigfoot says, the good guy
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Seahawks made a great trade and Ben is triggered as usual. Yes,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I'm so triggered. Triggered? I'm very concerned. You know, Lorena,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I can't sleep. I'm up all night because the Seahawks
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: traded for an offensive guard. You are so stressed right now.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I am very concerned. How much tape do you think
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Nostradinus has watched of the Colts offensive line to grade
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the trade? Let me see here. It says, great trade.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You think he's watching a lot of the All-22 tape
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: on the Colts offensive line? Probably not. Mad Jack says, hey,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: also delivering the Uber Eats tonight. And started my night
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: delivering the BJ's. All right, well, good for you. Well,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they have that dessert at BJ's. What's that famous ice cream? Pazookie. Pazookie.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: That's great. That's really good. Really, really good. All right,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. And let's say hello to
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Spock's Weed, who is a regular on the X Machine,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: but is not a regular caller on a newbie night. Hello,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Spock's Weed. Welcome.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Hello, Ben. It's a pleasure to speak with you and
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: to sing to Lorena, if I have a chance.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Do you need any music underneath you or any backup?
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: No, I'm good. You've heard my voice before in a
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: couple of Malapaloozas ago.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: All right. We have a song. Lorena, you're about to
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: be serenaded. Oh, I cannot wait.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: I just love when people sing to me on the air.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: It's actually one of my favorite things. And Spock's Weed
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: is in your old stomping grounds where you're from, Lorena.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Oh. Indeed. Yes, I am from the Oregon Trail.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: So.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: This is– I learned how to speak some Chinese when
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: I studied Chinese to go to a business trip back
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: there in the olden days. And here we go. Chunishangra, Kwaila. Chunishangra, Kwaila. Chunishangra, Lorena. Chunishangra, Kwaila.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Happy birthday, young lady.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, that was wonderful.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Well, it is still her birthday in Guam,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I believe. That's excellent. In Hawaii.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: It might be her birthday in Hawaii also.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: That's right. Hawaii, Alaska. It's still.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got some of that going on. But, no,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: it was a pleasure to get on. Larry, I want
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: to let you know, I waited almost a whole hour
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: to make sure that I sang to you.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That is so sweet. Thank you.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Very nice. Thank you, Spock's Weed. Very cool. Thank you.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Hanging up on you right now. Thank you for that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Donnie, who's in Duluth. Hello, Donnie.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Welcome.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Now, you don't know that angry guy, that curmudgeon guy,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: do you, Donnie?
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I do not. Good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: All right, stay away. If you see a guy named
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Wayne around town, avoid Wayne. Curmudgeon Wayne, please.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to talk a little bit about the
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: Vikings with national media and then also a lot of
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: local media and just kind of commentary in general. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: feel like a big part of the reason why people
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: are so negative on the Vikings being 6-0 is that
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: offense just doesn't sell. Every graphic that's on TV is
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: always a quarterback, it's a wide receiver, it's a running back.
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: You never see the middle linebacker on those graphics and
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: everything like that, and It's just way more boring to
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: talk about defense. So you have to dismiss the Vikings
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: because it's just boring to talk about five field goals
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: and only giving up 13 points and winning the game 15-13.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Well, it's also embarrassing. I think you'd admit this, that
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, who are not trying to win, have
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a better offense than the Vikings. That's, I mean, my God,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: that's bad. That is any way you measure it, that's bad.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: The Vikings are the 29th. Shockingly, the Broncos actually have
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a worse offense than the Vikings, by the way. I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: just want to point that out for Coop. Fun fact
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: for Coop there. But it's not sustainable. That's the problem.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: The defense is great. All you have to do is
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: have an average offense. And you'd be like, oh, man,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the Vikings are going to win. They've got this great
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: defense and special teams, and you just have to have
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: an average offense. They have no quarterback. Kyler Murray sucks.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: He should be benched. They should trade for a quarterback.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and so much of that is just, like, it
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: seems like there's so much, like, don't turn the ball
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: over that he's not trying to do some of the
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: crazy stuff that he's done before, which, you know, sometimes
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: leads to horrible things. And then, you know, you put
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: your defense in a bad position. So, yeah, so much
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: of it is just, like, it seems like he's just, like,
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: lying down rather than, you know, running around and then
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: bombing it out like he used to back in Arizona.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: Because we'll have to see if it ends up opening
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: up at all. Or, you know, maybe we trade for
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: Captain Kirk. I don't know.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: But, you know.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great idea. There you go. You planted
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the seed right there, Donnie. Let's make the trade happen.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Let's facilitate the trade. The Raiders unload Kirk Cousins back
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: to the Vikings. And Minnesota finds their offense. And they
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: run off and they win the Super Bowl in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: hood in Inglewood on Valentine's Day of 2027.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: I certainly would light up social media whether it worked
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: or not.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Well, it couldn't be any worse. It could not be
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: any worse. And you wouldn't have to give up anything
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: to get Kirk Cousins because he's 38 and the Raiders suck,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: so you're good. All right, thank you. The great Donnie
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: there on a newbie night. Let's go to Steve, who's
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: in La La Land just down the street from us
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: here in the L.A.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: Area.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Steve? Welcome.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Welcome. Hey, Ben. Nice to talk to you. I just
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: had to call you because, you know, people in this
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: age of FPI, analytics, the model, the computer model, my butt.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: UCLA is 7-0. There are only three teams left in
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: college football, Ben, that are undefeated. They will be 10-0
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: when they go to Ann Arbor. But yet, CBS people,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Bryant McFadden and some gal comes on and says, oh,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: UCLA could be in trouble if they lose one game.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: But somehow the SEC, 9-3 Texas or 9-3 Mississippi is okay.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Please get rid of the FBI team. Please get rid
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: of ESPN.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: We all know that they're in bed.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: With the SEC. And are you going to tell me, Ben,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: that a Big Ten team that goes 10-2 is not
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: going to make the playoffs?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: No, just trying to scare you, Steve.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: But again, with Mike Bruins, so we don't have any
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: issues whatsoever, we go 11-1, we're in the Big Ten
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: title game, and we don't have to worry about CBS.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: or FBI or ESPN telling us the Bruins aren't good
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: enough to make the playoffs.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: Please.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: And first of all, I love your passion. And I
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: am actually very happy that you see, I mean, we
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: don't talk about college football and stuff, but I'm very
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: happy UCLA, which is legit. There's statistically they're legit. They
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: have a top 20 offense. They have a top 10
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: defense this year, statistically and all that stuff. And you
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: may not know this Steve, but in another life when
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I was doing local radio, Back in the day, I
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: did the post-game Bruin talk. You're probably old enough to
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: remember this. When UCLA played a makeup football game against
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Miami and they had to win that game, they would
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: have gone to what was the playoff at that time.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: They ended up losing. There was a running back named
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Edgerin James that ran wild. It was a hurricane makeup game.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: And I did the postgame Bruin talk after that game.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: And I still, the rage, Steve, of the Bruin fan.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And that was like one of the last great moments.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: They've been, that's about like 30 years ago almost.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And they're back being good and all that, so I'm
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: pulling for them. They're trying to upset you and get
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you all worked up into a lather and all that.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: The only thing I would be concerned about, Steve, is
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you finally found a good coach, and I'd be concerned
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: that somebody else is going to try to take him
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: away and pay him more money, so... I just talked.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: To him today on his press conference, and he absolutely
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: came out with that. Somebody asked him that question, and
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: he said, I'm not leaving. I love UCLA.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: I love LA.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Bob Chesney. But I understand. You all say that. Nick
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Saban said, I'm going to stay with the Dolphins. I'm
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: not going to Alabama. I hope he stays there a
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: long time. He apparently knows what he's doing. And they
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: had a lot of guys that had no idea what
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: they were doing coaching the football team, as you know, Steve.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: And, Ben, look at the landscape of college football. Are
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: you kidding me? There are no great teams. So if
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I have a ticket on UCLA at 85-1 to win
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the natty and another ticket at 5-1 to make the playoffs,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I'm looking pretty good.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're doing a great team.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I think we now know. You should have led with
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: that because I think the reason you're upset is because
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: you've got the ticket. And you're like, wait a minute,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get my money here. And these
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: idiots on ESPN are trying to knock my team down.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: And I want my money. I got an undefeated team
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: here and they're trying to, you know, rain on my parade.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with them?
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Well, they don't know anything. They sit here and talk
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: about a model or FPI. Use your eyeballs. Football people,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: they run the ball, they play good defense, and they're
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: in the Big Ten. No other team in the SEC
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: is undefeated. Please don't tell me about the SEC.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Well, you've got a lot invested. As you know, Steve,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: you're a smart guy. There's a lot of money invested
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: in the SEC and the Big Ten, but the SEC
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: in particular. All right, thank you. The great Steve there.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: UCLA Bruin. Haven't taken a Bruin call.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: In a while.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: It has been a minute. It has been a minute.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Butterfinger. Halloween's coming up. Make sure
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: to have your Butterfingers ready to go. I have one
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: in my purse.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, do you?
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: That's right. I do not have a Butterfinger, but I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: do enjoy the Butterfinger. What's going on, Butterfinger?
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: How about them Cowboys there?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: How about them Cowboys? The Cowboys are back. The Cowboys
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: are back.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Put a whooping on them.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Sorry, O'Eagles.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. Is that it? Are you already, are you,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: are you having a butterfinger moment? It's all right.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Well, that was short and sweet.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Hey, you need to get Eddie on to do some
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: hockey talk, brother.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: No, I can get 80 on my podcast. I'll put
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: them on my podcast here. I'll get them on there.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You can listen. You listen to The Fifth Hour, right?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I'll get 80 on there.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: No, I just do this when I'm working, brother.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I've been listening to you for a long, long time.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I've been listening to you a long time. Oh, thank you.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I've never called you a few times.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: No, I got you. Well, I have Eddie on every
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: once in a while on my podcast. So if you
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: want to hear Eddie, you can listen on the Fifth
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Hour podcast, and then Eddie will pop up every once
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: in a while. And I am going to rant because
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, yet again, trying to stir the pot with
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman. So we'll leave it there. The great Butterfinger.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Check it in. So Deion Sanders accused of what? Say what?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: The Colorado coach, Deion Sanders, accused of offering– a bribe
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to his critics. Supposedly, the internet rumor. $ 50, 000 to stop
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: mentioning his name for an entire year? A longtime Sanders
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: associate and videographer claiming that Coach Prime had made the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: offer to people criticizing him. This guy, Uncle Neely, claimed
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: none of the critics accepted the $ 50, 000 deal suggesting they
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Make more money discussing Deion Sanders. This sounds like bull
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: crap to me. The people I know in the media
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: would take $ 50, 000 to not talk about Deion Sanders. So
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: is Deion really getting the big ratings? I'm a little
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: skeptical on that. I'm a little skeptical. And Deion said
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: it was all a joke. And I tend to think
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: it was a joke. Because if it was a $ 50, 000,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: first of all, Deion has a lot of money. Why
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: are you giving $ 50, 000 away, though? We have Mallory, third degree.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: It's also a newbie night. It's also a newbie night
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: as we press on. Time now for the Insta trivia.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has now gone two straight games without a
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: passing or rushing touchdown. Blank was the last Chiefs quarterback
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to go three straight starts without either. Again, Patrick Mahomes
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: has gone now two straight games without a passing or
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: rushing touchdown. Blank was the last Chiefs quarterback to go
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: three straight starts without either. That is the instant trivia.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: The answer. We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

• 38:20
  Speaker 1: And quickly, don't have much time, so Patrick Mahomes has
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: gone two straight games without a passing touchdown or rushing touchdown.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Blank was the last Chiefs quarterback to go three straight
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: games without either one of those things. That is the question.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Bill Kenney guessed by Pauly D. Dan Fouts from Alf
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the Alien O'Piner. Brody Croyle from Keith Ocho, Texas. What
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: say you, Lorena? Chief, one of the main chiefs. Like
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: an actual chief, you know, like a chief chief. Let
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: me just say, Lorena, you know the person who did this.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott?
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: No.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Brady Quinn is the answer. Yes, Brady Quinn is the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: answer in the 2012 season, the final four games. I
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: love you, Brady, but that was the answer. All right,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: that's my teammate. Here we go. That's my teammate. How
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: about that? To the third degree. Yeah.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Koopa Loop, what do we got?
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: And after another poor performance by the Cardinals, Coach Mike
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: LaFleur reiterated that the team is sticking with Jacoby Brissett.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, of course. Why would you bench a guy
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: that sucks?
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: Well, I was going to ask you, do you think
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: they'd stick with him the whole season, or do you
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: ever think they'd go to somebody else?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Else?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Well, he'll get hurt. Usually that's what happens. He'll get
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: hurt at some point. But I mean, the Cardinals are
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: good at getting into field goal range. They're not good
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: in the red zone. They're terrible as they were against
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't think he'll start the entire year.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Arizona offensively, actually, they're actually better than your Broncos and
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. But but no, I think at some point
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: he will be removed, whether it's injury or like the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: final three games of the year.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Next.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Broncos scored 30 points last week, by the way.
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: The Packers are above 500, but they are in last
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: place in their division.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: However, Micah Parsons could be returning. Don't rush back, Micah.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: Do you think that this is going to launch the
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: Packers back into the division?
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: No, but it will help his downloads on his podcast, Coop,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: which is very important, the Micah Parsons podcast. Very important.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: He gets a lot of downloads. There it is, Mallory,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: third degree.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: How'd we do?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Fail this edition. That is a win for me. Thank
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: you very much. When Coop says you fail, that's a win.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: A fail is a win. That's what that means.
