  Speaker 1: Maller Show. How alarmed should Bears fans be by a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson offense going from 59 points to three in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: one week? Also, after getting blitzed into submission by Brian Flores,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: did Minnesota expose the blueprint for stopping Caleb Williams? Although

  Speaker 1: he is hurt right now. We'll see how bad later today.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And Jordan Love praised the Packers for staying together after
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: scrapping by against the Jets. But can Green Bay fans
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: actually exhale now after an overtime game against the Jets?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more right now. Here
• 0:44

• 2:21
  Speaker 1: are back at it again this hour. One of the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: big stories this weekend in the NFL out of Chicago.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: The Bears, who celebrated their Super Bowl win over the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers last week, had to come back and play
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: another game. Normally you don't have to play another game
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: when you've won the Super Bowl. The Bears had a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: parade on Tuesday. They were given the key to Chicago.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I believe that was on Wednesday. And then they had
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to come back and trudge along and play another game.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Very unfortunate that the NFL would schedule the Bears to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: play another game after they put up 59 points. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: as their head coach said, they really were thinking about
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: going for 60. They were thinking about going for 60.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So the Bears, the talk of the NFL, Ben Johnson,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the smartest guy in the world, all that stuff, 59
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: points against the Panthers in Carolina. So what did they
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do for an encore? Oh, boy, did they have an encore. Yes,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: as Caleb Williams and friends returned home for a play
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: date with their NFC North rivals, the Vikings and their
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback. You talk about mismatches. They're just giving money
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: away at those sportsbooks. There's no way the Vikings will
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: be able to do anything with their quarterback. Carson Wentz
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and the Bears, they can score whenever they want. Bear down.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So if you saw the game, you know what I'm
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: talking about. You might have missed it. The Bears came
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: crashing back like a satellite that launched and then something malfunctioned,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: crashing back through the solar system, through the ozone layer there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: The Bears, after 59 points in week one, they put
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: up three.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Three.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: That's it. Three points against the Minnesota football team. losing
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a 9-3 game to the Vikings. And the Twins and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: White Sox score more runs. It was rainy. It was
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: sloppy at Soldier Field. Last I checked, though, you should
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: be able to do more than three points. To make
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: matters worse, Caleb Williams suffered a non-contact snap, crackle, pop
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to the right hamstring in the fourth quarter near the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: goal line. And he was eventually carted off where he
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: screamed like he had been bitten by an actual grizzly bear.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Bear on bear crime. Ben Johnson, the Chicago head coach,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson said that Caleb Williams was, quote, in good
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: spirits and expressed relief that it wasn't a knee injury
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and said further testing would happen later on. Obviously, we're
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: on Monday today, so today would determine the severity, the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: issue there with how bad that injury is. Now, if
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you base it just on the primal scream from Caleb Williams,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: he'll never play football again. It's a career-ending injury. The
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: way he screamed, that's it. Based on some of his
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: past shenanigans, he'll be back playing against the Eagles on
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Monday night. Not tonight, of course, but next Monday night.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: We're going to look at the wide-angle lens. The wide-angle
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: lens here. So the question, how alarmed should the barebacker be?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: by Ben Johnson's offense going from 59 points to three
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in one week. So I've got Google, hospital, and Ziploc bag.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And we'll mix and match all these things together, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to chase rainbows is what we're going to do,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and hopefully we won't whiff. So to lead off here,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you talk about a bait-and-switch situation. The word is alarming.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It is absolutely. Apparently, Chicago's grand offensive revolution had the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: shelf life of an avocado. That's the reality. Ben Johnson
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: spent week one looking like the football version of Albert Einstein.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And then in week two, looking like the guy who
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: accidentally erased the blackboard, the nutty professor. And it felt
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like Ben Johnson's team booby-trapped the entire game. Chicago repeatedly
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: sabotaged itself. They had seven of the eight penalties were
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: an offense. Seven offensive penalties. They probably were trying to recover.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: They pulled a few muscles from celebrating, patting themselves on
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the back when they were playing the Carolina Panthers the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: week before. And then you have Caleb Williams. He looked
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: like he was lost in a corn maze without Google
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Maps for 97% of the game and then got hurt
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: at the end. Completely disoriented by Minnesota's defensive scheme, he
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: stumbled and bumbled in more ways than one, Caleb Williams,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for 138 yards and a pick. And that brought in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the backup, Tyson Bajent, special agent Tyson Bajent, who went
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: out there and he stepped in. only for Chicago to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: settle for a blocked field goal. Why not? Caleb Williams'
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: injury is the beginning of yet another story arc in
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Chicago where here we go again, the tortured souls of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears fans. But maybe, maybe the real question is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: not what happened to the Chicago Bears. The better question
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: is how catastrophically terrible were the Carolina Panthers fans In
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that game where the Bears put up 59 points. You
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: talk about Matadors. Ole, ole, ole, ole. You give up
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: 59 points. Carolina, there should be some kind of investigation
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: into that. My God. The Panthers came back. They played
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a tomato can. They feasted on the tomato soup. The
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Nice coaching hire there. Way to go, boys.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Brought in the Kevin Stefanski era. That's working out very well.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: All right, furthermore. to the Vikings' side of the ledger,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the Vikings' side of the ledger. So Minnesota's defense dominated
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: despite Chicago actually outgaining the Vikings. I think it was
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: like 297-246. It was somewhat close, but the Bears actually
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: had more yards than the Vikings. The Vikings win despite
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: scoring nine points with their backup quarterback, Carson Wentz, playing...
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to overly be dramatic on this,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: but it appeared when I flipped over to the Viking
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: game and I saw their offense, both teams, but for
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz in particular, he played with the efficiency of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a spilled port-a-potty. Now, a spilled port-a-potty is actually more
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: efficient because that poop really gets flowing. That nice and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a warm day, that poop, oh, it's everywhere.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: All right, so the question. After getting just... pummeled into
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: submission by Brian Flores, the defensive coordinator for the Vikings.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Did Minnesota expose the blueprint for stopping Caleb Williams? So
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: here's what I know. Everybody spent a week polishing Ben Johnson's,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you know what, for Canton, not that, the bust, for Canton, Ohio.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But Brian Flores knocked it off the pedestal, and it
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: broke into seven different pieces. And apparently Ben Johnson's offensive
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: genius comes with a disclaimer, not valid against competent defensive coaches.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And on the Maller scale of coaching, malpractice, right? You say, well,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: for Ben Johnson, it's pretty high. But on the coaching
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: mismatch scale, Brian Flores gets the six-pack. Brian Flores gave
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson a hospital gown for a three-hour football colonoscopy. Here,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: enjoy the colonoscopy. Well, they only take usually half an hour. Well, no,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: this is going to go. This will be a full three-hour.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: three-and-a-half-hour colonoscopy. Well, I don't want that. Well, just put
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: on the hospital gown. There you go. Now, found the problem.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Ben Johnson, his adjustments apparently got caught
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in traffic because they never arrived at Soldier Field. Again,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Bears won their Super Bowl the week prior. Normally, you
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: don't have to play another game. Brian Flores, though, the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in Minnesota, I don't believe he found the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: blueprint to stop Caleb Williams. He published the hardcover, the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: audio book, and the Kindle edition is what he did.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Flores basically announced, we're blitzing again and again and again.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And the Bears offense responded by saying, wonderful. We still
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: have no clue how to stop the blitz. Why are
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you doing that? You're embarrassing us. What's wrong with you? Now,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the Vikings provided the instructional manual for wrecking Caleb Williams,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: relentlessly blitzing. They had four sacks, I think. Dallas Turner,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: kind of a generic name. Dallas Turner had a couple
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of big plays there, including game-ending sack there. So Ben Johnson, Mr.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Offensive Mastermind, the smartest man, the brains behind the Lions. Well,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he didn't forget everything. He just got outcoached by Brian Flores.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: In this particular game, and some say the football gods
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: got back at Ben Johnson. All is quiet on the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: front of Lake Michigan. My God. All right, last thing.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: To Jersey we go, where Jordan Love was laying it
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: on thick, praising the resilience of the Green Bay football team.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: He was in a celebratory mood after a 2017 overtime
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: win over the lowly Jets. saying, this is a quote
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: from Jordan Love, he said, quote, we stayed together despite
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the ugly afternoon of a game affected by the weather.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: A rainy day there in the swamplands of New Jersey. Now,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Green Bay trailed this game 17-7, down by two scores,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: 11-0-4 remaining. But they used the hocus-pocus and a little focus.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: They raised a 10-point deficit, 13 unanswered points to steal
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the game. There was some incompetent coaching by the leader
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of the Jets there, Mr. Glenn. Love threw two touchdown passes.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: He had a three-yard pass to Christian Watson for a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: score in the fourth quarter, and that helped ignite the comeback.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: The question, Jordan Love being praised by some for leading
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Green Bay back, he also praised the Packers for staying together.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: After scrapping by. But can Green Bay fans actually exhale now?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Can the stockholders of the Green Bay Packers exhale because
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of this win in overtime against the Jets? So, hell no!
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The answer, the only acceptable answer is hell no. What exactly...
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: are you celebrating? The Vikings had their issues in the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: weather against Chicago. Well, in this game, you look at
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the Packers and the Jets, and the weather was a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: factor in all that stuff. But the Vikings punched you
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: in the mouth the week prior with, what did they have,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: 29 straight points, 22, nothing in the fourth quarter. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: think it was 29 total straight points in the opener
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: against the Packers. And then the Jets pushed you around.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And I know humans are hardwired to look for patterns.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I do see a pattern here. I do see a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: pattern here. And Green Bay still looks like a team
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: who's trying to find... the instruction manual, and they're digging
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: around the junk drawer. They're like, I don't know where
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that thing is. Can we find it? Maybe it's in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the garage. Let's look in the garage. Oh, no, it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: in the junk drawer. Okay, I'll look in the junk drawer. Well,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't know why. It should
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: be right in the front of the junk drawer. Well,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: we don't see it, but maybe it's in the garage. Okay,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I'll go look in the garage. Well, I don't see
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: it in the garage. And when you open up the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Ziploc bag, when you open up the Ziploc bag, the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers product has mold all around it. It's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: got a really funky smell. Yeah, it smells bad. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you needed overtime to beat the Jets. The Packers had
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: 199 yards of offense. That's it. 199 yards of offense.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: That is not togetherness. That is shared systemic incompetence. You're
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: supposed to make a splash. These are the teams you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: want to play. Now, there is an old line. You
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to play bad teams early because they don't
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: realize they're bad. I'm relatively confident the Jets realize they're bad.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think you have to wait for week five
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: or week six to say that the Jets are not
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a good team. So the Packers stayed together because apparently
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: nobody could find the emergency exit. So congratulations. You beat
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the Jets in overtime.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Whee!
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And suddenly we're supposed to hand out oxygen masks because
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of the success of the Green Bay Packers staying together.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So calling that reassuring, it's kind of like going down
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to the DMV and you pass the driving test. You're like, oh, man,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I passed the driving test. Yeah, after you hit three
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: cones and the instructor. But you did get it done. Congratulate.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Way to go. Way to go. Meanwhile, we are living
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: in a bizarro world in the NFL. What does that mean? Well,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: if you look around right now at this moment, heading
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: into Monday night football, do you know who the top
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: three passing yard leaders are through two weeks of the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: NFL season? No, you don't. No, you don't. Well, it
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: turns out that number three, this is not a list.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: This is a big board. Number three is C.J. Stroud.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Of the Houston Texans. That's right. Good old C.J. Stroud
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of the Texans. Put up some empty numbers here. Texans
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: are 0-2. 0-2. But C.J. Stroud is number three in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the entire NFL in passing yards. Okay, that's great. Number
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: two would be Bryce Young. Bryce Young putting up some
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: fattening of the stats against the Atlanta Falcons in the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday. And also not doing... making plays but
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: not winning plays the prior week when the panthers put
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: up all those numbers against the bears and the nfl
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: leading passer who you think it's josh allen you go
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: no it's not josh allen is it lamar jackson no
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: it's not lamar jackson who is it that would be
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: tyler shuck tyler shuck of the saints is your nfl
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: leading passer with 662 passing yards heading in to the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: game on Monday Night Football. It is the Ben Maller Show,

• 17:32
  Speaker 1: GM Jerry Jones said after the Cowboys win over the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Washington football team, he said there is nothing more dangerous
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: than blank. Again, Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones said
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: said following the latest Dallas win over those woe-be-gone Washington,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: what used to be called the Redskins, he said there
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: is nothing more dangerous than blank. That is the Maller
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: riddle of the day. The answer, we'll get to it,
• 18:02

• 18:59
  Speaker 7: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: you have to replace.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't

• 20:47
  Speaker 1: against you in the quarter sports radio. So please, act accordingly. Yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: every once in a while you start thinking, well, Trevor
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Lawrence is actually a good quarterback. And then you see that.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And you're like, nah, he's still mid. He's a mid-level quarterback.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Double-digit lead, whatever it was. It was 13-3, early third quarter.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Got to nurse the game, get the win. And how
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: do you nurse the game? Not so much. Not so much.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Not good. Give some credit to the Broncos, Ben. No credit.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: This was incompetence. Most games are lost, not one coop.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And Trevor Lawrence, bad. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: How about you make a play? Is that too much
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to ask? Is that too much to ask? Trevor Lawrence
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: completed one pass in the fourth quarter of that game.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: One.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Broncos outscored the Jacks 14-0. Lawrence was one of six
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: for 28 yards. And that's it. And obviously the one
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: play he connected on was a 28-yard pass play. But, man.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: All right, let's take some calls. I've got to pay
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: off the riddle of the day before we take some calls.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And here is the Maller riddle of the day. We
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: go to football where Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, after the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: game against the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins, said,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: there is nothing more dangerous than blank. All right, nothing
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: more dangerous than blank. That is the Maller riddle of
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the day. Let's see. Does anyone know the answer? And
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Donkey Sausage says, riding Roberto's school bus. Absolutely. And Michael says,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: glory hole, as Jerry likes to say there. Eddie Bucky's.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Page down. A hangnail from
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: King Rory. That's his answer. Mosquitoes guessed by Alf the alien.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: That's right. The most deadly thing on the planet is
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a mosquito. No one's making movies about deadly mosquitoes, right?
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: They're not making horror movies about mosquitoes. But they're deadly.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: They'll kill you. What else do we have? Let's see here.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Page down. Impaired Tony Romo behind the wheel from Eke
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in Roseville, Minnesota. Our buddy Timmy from Busco, Indiana writes in.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Says there's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot. Yes.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Beer farts from Johnny Q. And Georgia Boy says circumcising
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a mosquito is the answer. Rodney Dangerfield from JT the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Wingman says, Who else do we have? Page down. A
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: lot of people just went with Jerry's favorite line there.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Glory hole is his answer. Inca terror says a member
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of the Malibu militia who didn't get a shout out
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: for his birthday. This is the legendary Inca terror. What
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: else do we have? Page down.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: We don't have time for us. Do we have the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: audio on this? Can we play this? We actually have
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the audio. I think we can play this. So this
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: is Jerry Jones postgame. He's walking over to the media.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: He loves to address the media. And here's Jerry Jones
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: saying there's nothing more dangerous than, and then here's Jerry
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: walking over there. Other people in suits around him. There's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: media there.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: Nothing more dangerous than an old man with money.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Hey!
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: A lot of ambient noise. But Jerry said there is
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: nothing more dangerous than an old man with money. There
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you go. That is the riddle of the day from
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. Good old Jerry. I wonder how long he
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: spends coming up with that stuff. Let's go to Gary,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: who's on Highway 94, driving around there with some hot
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Viking talk. Hello, Gary. Welcome.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ben.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Listen to you on Mondays as I have to drive
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: to work to Jamestown, North Dakota.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: But....
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Nothing more dangerous than Dallas Turner coming around the edge.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Um, but my Vikings, I.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Sat there watching all the talking heads talking about how
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the division is going to come down to, uh, Detroit,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Chicago and green Bay.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: And they pretty much penciled the Vikings in fourth place. Um,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Who's sitting 2-0 now and in control of the division?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You will admit, though, Gary, I know you're excited. You've
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: got your purple outfit on right now. But you will admit,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: in terms of impressive, the Vikings do not qualify as
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: an impressive 2-0 team. Would that be an accurate statement?
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but... They always seem to be in the thick
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: of it when it comes to the division. And it
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: always seems like they are always underestimated.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: The thing about the Vikings now is you've gotten through
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: those two divisional games, and now you have a parade
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of suck lined up. Tampa Bay, Baker Mayfield. Boy, you
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: think the Buccaneers wish they could get that contract they
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: gave him back, the way he's played to start the year.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But you've got the Bucs, the Dolphins, and the Saints.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: The Vikings, even as bad as their quarterback play is,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter whether Kyler Murray plays or Carson Wentz,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: they're not going to have a good quarterback. They should
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: be 5-0. The Vikings should be 5-0 going into their
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: bye week, playing Tampa Bay, the Dolphins. That's a bye. Now,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: New Orleans is a pesky team, but that's a game
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the Vikings should win.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, they got Brian Flores there for that defense.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I know, I know.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: That's always going to create havoc.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: You can never be out of it with a defense
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Well, you do have to score, though. You do have
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: to have some decent– occasionally you have to have some
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: offense there. So that's the problem.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: I get that. And there's big question marks behind Kyler. Now,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: if Kyler can come back from his concussion and just
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: play halfway decent ball, well, he's got Jefferson out there,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: you know. And he's got very good weapons to work with.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: All right, well, listen, you sound like everyone in Arizona.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: If only Kyler Murray can just play okay, we'll be fine.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And he didn't. Although, if you want him to play
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: video games, he'll be very good. Be safe there, Gary,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: on your drive to work or whatever you're doing. Well,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is there going to be a celebrity breakup in broadcasting?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: You might remember at the end of last week, the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Fox refugee Joe Buck signed a big extension. Big money,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: big money, big money, and wham! to stay at the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: small cable outfit there in Bristol, Connecticut. So he re-upped there. Now,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman, his partner in crime on those NFL broadcasts, well,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Aikman revealed recently he has had no conversations with anyone
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: about a contract extension, despite Joe Buck getting a mega deal.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You think that's going to be awkward in the Monday
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: night booth? These guys are besties. They love each other,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: all that. You got Joe Buck getting the contract. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Aikman right now, nothing. Aikman said, quote, I thought something
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: would be done prior to the start of the season.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: He's in his lame duck year. He says, I've never
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: gone into a last year of a contract ever since
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Well, welcome to my world, Troy.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Doesn't feel that good, does it, when you're a lame duck? Boy,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I've been a lame duck multiple times. Multiple times. He says,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: so I thought that it would get done. Aikman said,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: it's not. When it might get done, if it gets done,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: is anyone's guess. That sounds like they're not looking to
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: keep Aikman around. A little shakeup there. Interesting. Aikman got pantsed.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: They went back and they took notes on everything he
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: said in the game the other day. Last Monday night,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: it was just terrible. Horrific. He's been pretty mid for
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: a while, Aikman. These guys get a little comfortable, and
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: it's like every Aikman, and I don't think Aikman's terrible.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: It's just a lot of the same, but he's feeding
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the lowest common denominator. The lowest common denominator are the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Aikman fans or the NFL fans that just want to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: hear meathead comments. Aikman's dialogue is good job, nice job,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: outstanding job, heck of a play. Dial up a play.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Make a play. Step up. Make a play. That's it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: You just change the names. Aikman doing a broadcast. and
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: this goes back to his early days. It's good job
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: by the coach. Bad job. He doesn't say bad job
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: very much. He says nice job. Outstanding job. Heck of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a play. Dial up a play. It's like tonight, Rams
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and Giants. Giants are down by a touchdown. And you
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: got to dial up a play here. You got to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: do it. Step up. Got to make a play. It's like, okay, listen,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: we got it. We understand. Those are the things. That's fine.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going on the phones. Let's see,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: who do we have here? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Let's
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: say hello to, let's go to Nate in Cairns. Is
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Nate back or is he gone? I don't know. No
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: one's talking. Who knows? Am I even here? Who knows? No,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: apparently Nate is not there, which is unfortunate. You know
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: who is there, though? A man who's always there and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: never vacates, ever. The man, the myth, the legend, Joe Burrow,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: who revealed that that rib injury that he had this week, supposedly,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: he said it fixed itself. He said it, of course,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: he was goofing around, kidding, but he said it fixed himself.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: in the game against the Texans. You know what fixed
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: it for him, though? Would be the absolute incompetence of
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the Houston Texans offense. We're going to talk about this
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: because C.J. Stroud, we'll get to this later, C.J. Stroud
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: setting a record for absolute incompetence at the quarterback position,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: despite having a sexy stat line in that game. Bill
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: writes in, Hoosier Bill says, the Vikings division sucks. It
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: has sucked for 25 years, he says. That's the great
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Hoosier Bill, who always has a hot take on everything.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Let's see, what else do we have? Page down. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: can't read that. Well, one of the games that we
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: have not spent too much time discussing, and for good reason,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: because you only have a limited amount of time. You can't,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: you know, what are you going to do? You can't
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: talk about everything. But the Cleveland Browns got into the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: win column. And it is my belief that when the
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns beat somebody, that should be worth four losses
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to the team that they beat so therefore the Buccaneers
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: instead of being 0-2 should be 0-5 they lost last
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: week now they lose this week and Baker Mayfield another
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: shaky performance he got outplayed by Deshaun Watson Deshaun Watson
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: outplayed Baker Mayfield now Baker we talked a lot about
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: his contract he bitched and moaned about his contract and
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: how he was upset and he's I'm not negotiating and
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: all this So the Buccaneers, doing what all bad teams do,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: they panicked. And they're like, well, we got to keep Baker.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: We can't lose Baker. God forbid we lose Baker. And
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Baker is so far two games into the season. And
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: is he not looking like the Baker Mayfield of the
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns vintage back in the day? Because where I
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: sit on this side of the microphone watching these games
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: and flipping around and watching the Buccaneers offense and how
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: bad and how mistake-prone They have been, to begin the year,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, another interception in this game, although there were
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: some other throws that could have been much worse, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Tampa did come back in the second half and make
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: it somewhat competitive with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Baker Mayfield
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: had in that game not one, not two, not three. Well, actually,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: it was three. Three lost fumbles in the first game.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: So he had three lost fumbles in that game against
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the Bengals, and then this game had an interception in
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: And my computer-like brain tells me that's four turnovers, plus
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: a bunch of incomplete passes in this game. He was
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: really all over the place. The weather was not great.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: There was a long delay. In the fourth quarter of
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that game. It is the Ben Maller Show. As we

• 35:26
  Speaker 1: who needs our advice? Well, there's a team that just
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: had the worst two-game stretch to begin an NFL season
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: this Since the 1920s, been about 100 years, I believe,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the Chargers losing back-to-back games to the lowly Raiders and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals. And that sounds bad. That sounds bad. And
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it doesn't just sound bad. It is bad for Jim
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh's team, who's saying all the right things and then
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: going out and riding the vomit comet when his team
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: takes the field.

  Speaker 1: have looked it up. The last time something like this
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: happened in the history of the NFL, you've got to
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: go back. To 1926, a team called the Racine Tornadoes
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in 1926. So it's 100 years. The charge to the

  Speaker 1: second team in NFL history to lose back-to-back games by
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: double digits with both coming at home against teams that
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: had sub-200 winning percentages in the previous season. And the Tornadoes,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the other team to do it back in 1926. So
