3:21
Speaker 1: at two wins apiece, but our lead is not from
3:24
Speaker 1: the World Series. Instead, it is from the Dirty Dirty
3:28
Speaker 1: Birds of Atlanta. Inching closer to the trade deadline as
3:34
Speaker 1: it is less than a week away. Now today is Wednesday,
3:37
Speaker 1: and be next Tuesday. It is coming Tuesday, the trade deadline.
3:41
Speaker 1: So we do the shuffle. You gotta do the shuffle.
3:44
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about the quarterback shuffle. Here is what
3:48
Speaker 1: we're talking about. And a story has popped up which
3:52
Speaker 1: is out of the files of the captain obvious Department
3:56
Speaker 1: of Sports Media. As we inch closer and closer to
4:00
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. Time is running out. Time is running out,
4:05
Speaker 1: and NFL teams have to make those last minute moves.
4:08
Speaker 1: The November fourth trade deadline and a quarterback has emerged
4:13
Speaker 1: on the market. Who is it, Well, that would be
4:16
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Shocker of yes, the guy that went out
4:21
Speaker 1: there and wrote the vomit comment against the Miami Dolphins.
4:25
Speaker 1: So he reportedly wants to start. He realizes Atlanta loves
4:28
Speaker 1: them some Michael Pennix Junior, so they're not that interested
4:31
Speaker 1: in starting him, even though he was an emergency starter
4:34
Speaker 1: because Penex was hurt. So the story is, from what
4:38
Speaker 1: we understand, that the Falcon backup quarterback desires an opportunity
4:44
Speaker 1: to start elsewhere? Is that really a that shocking that
4:47
Speaker 1: someone who's a backup wants to play? Okay, However, they
4:50
Speaker 1: say that no trade appears imminent or eminent imminent now
4:55
Speaker 1: why because Cousins is making so much money, they'd have
5:00
Speaker 1: to take money out of Fort Knox in order to
5:02
Speaker 1: make the trade happen. So that's a good jumping off point.
5:06
Speaker 1: As we get closer to the trade deadline, let us
5:08
Speaker 1: discuss the question does a Falcon Kirk Cousins trade budge
5:14
Speaker 1: the needle would a trade of Kirk Cousins Budge the
5:17
Speaker 1: needle in the NFL. So on this one, I've got QBC,
5:22
Speaker 1: Drew Carey, and Spanish American War and we will combine
5:27
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
5:30
Speaker 1: have a colossal good times. What we're gonna have? So
5:34
Speaker 1: number one, I said, number one, Number all right, I'm
5:40
Speaker 1: giving this one stink eye is what I'm giving it. Okay,
5:44
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, if you happen to have the misfortune of
5:48
Speaker 1: watching him play quarterback this past weekend against the Miami Dolphins,
5:52
Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this. Kirk Cousins had
5:55
Speaker 1: a showcase. He was in the display case for the
5:59
Speaker 1: entire r NFL to watch against a pathetic, gutless Miami
6:04
Speaker 1: Dolphin team. Even Stevie Meatballs can see how bad the
6:09
Speaker 1: Dolphins are this year. And what happened. Cousins went out
6:12
Speaker 1: there and slipped on a banana peal, He did a
6:14
Speaker 1: face plant, and he essentially it was on a live
6:19
Speaker 1: infomercial for everyone in the NFL. Everyone's watching where they're
6:22
Speaker 1: gonna watch the tape afterwards against the Dolphins. This was
6:25
Speaker 1: a segment on QVC. He was on the home shopping channel.
6:30
Speaker 1: There and the phone lines nobody called, nobody called bat
6:36
Speaker 1: sign and Dad giveaway. There's just not interesting. This was
6:41
Speaker 1: supposed to be Kirk cousins comeback concert, a bunch of
6:47
Speaker 1: beautiful throws. It was gonna be glorious, right, a symphony
6:51
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins. Instead, it looked like an open mic
6:55
Speaker 1: night at the local Applebee's on a Monday. Did not
6:59
Speaker 1: go well. No touchdowns, no juice, a lot of checkdowns,
7:03
Speaker 1: a lot of just blah blah blah blah blah blah
7:08
Speaker 1: blah blah football Now regardless, Right, here's the thing. He's
7:13
Speaker 1: still a quarterback and he's got he had success in
7:16
Speaker 1: the NFL, so somebody always takes the bait. Now, the
7:20
Speaker 1: question is would Atlanta be willing to do it? They
7:24
Speaker 1: don't have to do it, and it's better to get
7:27
Speaker 1: something than nothing. If you look at the contractual situation
7:30
Speaker 1: of Kirk Cousins, his days are limited there now looking around,
7:34
Speaker 1: as a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostra Denis,
7:38
Speaker 1: you look around the NFL and there are a few
7:41
Speaker 1: lonely Hearts club members. When it comes to the quarterback position,
7:44
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Raiders. Gino Smith can't play. The
7:48
Speaker 1: Browns they haven't had a quarterback since Bernie Cozar. The Saints,
7:52
Speaker 1: Where have you gone, Drew Brees or Lonely Hearts miss you?
7:56
Speaker 1: Those teams are dumpster diving franchises. So it doesn't make
7:58
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. You're not going anywhere. Why would
8:01
Speaker 1: you acquire a veteran, high paid quarterback at the trade deadline.
8:06
Speaker 1: It's one of those things. It's like it's like being
8:08
Speaker 1: on the dating app at one fifty eight in the morning,
8:11
Speaker 1: and you know you're not finding the one. You're finding
8:15
Speaker 1: a one, but you're not finding the one. You know
8:18
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, You're just looking for somebody to keep
8:20
Speaker 1: it warm. That's essentially what those teams are looking for
8:22
Speaker 1: at this point. This just get us through the rest
8:23
Speaker 1: of the season. We'll get a high, shiny draft pick
8:26
Speaker 1: and that'll be that. So what does that mean? Well,
8:30
Speaker 1: when you continue to look off in the wild blue
8:32
Speaker 1: yonder around the NFL, you realize that there's only really
8:36
Speaker 1: two teams that have any kind of intrigue when it
8:39
Speaker 1: comes to a possible Kirk Cousins trade. Now, I'm going
8:42
Speaker 1: to make my elevator pitch and I want to see
8:44
Speaker 1: if you agree or disagree. So those two teams are
8:46
Speaker 1: Survey says forty nine Ers, Vikings, that's it, that's all.
8:56
Speaker 1: That's not a list, Terry and England. That's a big board.
8:58
Speaker 1: That is a big board, not a list, a big board.
9:02
Speaker 1: So the forty nine ers have Brock Purdy who's limping
9:06
Speaker 1: around and when he's played, he hasn't played that well.
9:09
Speaker 1: Now he's hurt, so he's not playing and he got
9:12
Speaker 1: paid and all that, and then so he got that
9:15
Speaker 1: and he's limping around on one stick, on one leg,
9:19
Speaker 1: and it's like he's like at this point, he's like
9:22
Speaker 1: him and Mac Jones. Mac Jones has been playing a lot.
9:24
Speaker 1: Mac had some decent games to start. He's fallen off
9:30
Speaker 1: the side of the road there lately, and he's kind
9:33
Speaker 1: of like a rental car that's got four flat tires.
9:36
Speaker 1: It's not good to look at and all that. Then
9:38
Speaker 1: you've got Viking red shirt rookie JJ McCarthy, who's so bad.
9:45
Speaker 1: How bad is he so bad that he looked over
9:49
Speaker 1: his head to the point where Carson Wentz was starting
9:54
Speaker 1: ahead of a healthy JJ McCarthy, which is not a
9:57
Speaker 1: vote of conference, which is not a vote of conference.
10:00
Speaker 1: Now McCarthy's a red shirt freshman, he's supposed to come back.
10:03
Speaker 1: The Vikings are massive underdogs against the Detroit Lions this
10:07
Speaker 1: weekend because there's his thirty seven. He isn't a long
10:11
Speaker 1: term savior for anybody. However, you need a new band aid,
10:15
Speaker 1: you know, take off your Hello Kiddie band aid. You
10:17
Speaker 1: can put Kirk Cousins on right there. And he's got
10:19
Speaker 1: a pulse and coaches love the father flannagain. We're gonna
10:24
Speaker 1: fix this guy, make him better with our team, and
10:27
Speaker 1: I can coach him up and all that stuff. And
10:30
Speaker 1: quarterback desperation is undefeated. The Bengals went out and traded
10:35
Speaker 1: for Joe Flacco, who got benched by the Cleveland Browns.
10:38
Speaker 1: So if Joe Flacco can get benched by the Cleveland
10:41
Speaker 1: Browns and then end up being relocated to you know who,
10:47
Speaker 1: the Bengals, then okay. So Cousins knows it. The flea
10:50
Speaker 1: market is open, and it is really the balls in
10:52
Speaker 1: the court of Atlanta. Whether or not they want to
10:56
Speaker 1: deal with it, and do they really value Cousins, is
11:00
Speaker 1: better just to leave them. Let them leave, or you'll
11:02
Speaker 1: get some kind of compensation pick. I believe that's how
11:06
Speaker 1: that works. Now, speaking of the trade deadline, we go
11:07
Speaker 1: to Jersey conflicting reports regarding the Giants edge rusher Keevan Thibodeaux,
11:14
Speaker 1: the old Oregon duck Kevon Thibodeaux, who has been described
11:17
Speaker 1: as a name to watch in quotes, name to watch
11:22
Speaker 1: in quotes during the upcoming trading season. Now state sponsor
11:26
Speaker 1: propped the news service of the NFL. NFL Media. They
11:30
Speaker 1: tell us that the teams have called the Giants trying
11:33
Speaker 1: to poach Cavan Thibodeau and inquire about trading for his services,
11:39
Speaker 1: much to the dismay of our friend the movie man,
11:42
Speaker 1: and they have been told the Giants have no interest,
11:47
Speaker 1: no interest in discussing a trade involving the fifth overall
11:52
Speaker 1: pick in the twenty twenty two I believe it was
11:54
Speaker 1: NFL draft. So we've got conflicting reports. You've got he said,
11:58
Speaker 1: he said, question in for you, and I'm gonna answer
12:02
Speaker 1: it first. But I'm gonna pose the question and then
12:04
Speaker 1: i'm gonna answer. If you want to call up, there's
12:05
Speaker 1: a line that opened up, so I'll give out the
12:06
Speaker 1: number in a minute. But here it is is Giants
12:09
Speaker 1: edge rusher Cavan Thibodeau available or not, because again one
12:14
Speaker 1: report said implied these available, and then immediately there was
12:18
Speaker 1: well the Giants are not willing to trade him and
12:20
Speaker 1: all this stuff, all right, So the Giants, what they're
12:24
Speaker 1: doing is they're playing a kid's game. So you know
12:26
Speaker 1: what it is. That's right, pikaboo, that's what they're playing.
12:30
Speaker 1: They're playing peekaboo with the truth. You know it and
12:34
Speaker 1: I know it. This is what we call a Drew
12:36
Speaker 1: Carey situation. Now what is a Drew carry situation? When
12:39
Speaker 1: it comes to the NFL trade deadline, if the price
12:41
Speaker 1: is right, you can get the showcase showdown. In this case,
12:46
Speaker 1: that would be Kevan Thibodeau or go. You offer the
12:50
Speaker 1: right package and all of a sudden you get to play.
12:53
Speaker 1: This ain't plinko. We're not playing plinko, if you know
12:55
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, linebacker is actually something that the
12:58
Speaker 1: Giants have a lot of know it by the way
13:00
Speaker 1: their defense has played most of the year, But they
13:02
Speaker 1: have some name brand players. Brian Burns has been a
13:05
Speaker 1: very good player on bad teams most of his career,
13:08
Speaker 1: and they drafted Abdul Carter and they've they've got him.
13:12
Speaker 1: So that was all after they went out and drafted
13:15
Speaker 1: Kevan Thibodau, who was a giant bust to begin his
13:18
Speaker 1: NFL career, and he's this call like it is, he's
13:20
Speaker 1: mostly been roster spam. You're in the number five overall
13:24
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. He's got no All pros, no
13:28
Speaker 1: Pro bowls, and the Pro Bowl they played TikTok toe.
13:32
Speaker 1: You can't even get in a competitive game of tic
13:35
Speaker 1: tac toe and flag football. My god. So the point
13:40
Speaker 1: is they have some wiggle room here to trade the
13:44
Speaker 1: trade the player. Now. The issue is they they were
13:48
Speaker 1: gambling that this was going to be a breakout year
13:52
Speaker 1: Kavon was going to go. And this was the year
13:53
Speaker 1: they picked up the fifth year options. So they're like, well,
13:56
Speaker 1: this is gonna be great. He'll be so good, he'll
13:58
Speaker 1: be so great. And they're still waiting, and they're waiting,
14:03
Speaker 1: and they're waiting and they're waiting. If somebody dangles a
14:05
Speaker 1: nice big bag of goodies, I mean a lot of
14:09
Speaker 1: goodies in there, then the Giants, let's say they're not
14:14
Speaker 1: putting their phone on airplane mode, they're gonna respond. They're
14:17
Speaker 1: going to read the comments and all that stuff, and
14:20
Speaker 1: that's that. So good luck. So yeah, technically, if you
14:23
Speaker 1: want to get on a technicality, technically he's not available
14:28
Speaker 1: Covon Thibodeau until he is. Until he is. And then
14:32
Speaker 1: the translation for those of you a little slow in
14:35
Speaker 1: the back of the room. Everyone's available at the right price.
14:39
Speaker 1: Everyone's available at the right price. All right, now, final point.
14:42
Speaker 1: We go now to Houston, the home of mister Irrigation
14:48
Speaker 1: and even the Terrible and so many other great contributors
14:51
Speaker 1: to the show. Despite my very passionate, spicy commentary over
14:55
Speaker 1: the years about the cheating astro, So I saw this,
14:59
Speaker 1: and this was in my wheelhouse. Now, to be fair,
15:01
Speaker 1: I did not see this initially. This was sent to
15:03
Speaker 1: me by a listener who I believe is name Mike,
15:07
Speaker 1: who does not live in Houston, but lives in the
15:09
Speaker 1: suburbs of Houston. He says, Ben, did you see this?
15:12
Speaker 1: He sent me an email this afternoon and he said,
15:15
Speaker 1: the Texans. So this is the coach of the Texans,
15:18
Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans. Now, Dimiko Ryans lectured the media, the beat
15:23
Speaker 1: writers that cover the Texans, and Mike wanted me to
15:26
Speaker 1: see this. So the Texans who as a team have
15:28
Speaker 1: been luke warm. I think we can all agree on
15:31
Speaker 1: that they've been luke warm most of the season. They've
15:34
Speaker 1: shown some signs of life, but not consistently in just
15:38
Speaker 1: another run of the mill mediocre team. However, despite being
15:43
Speaker 1: lukewarm the roster, they are boiling hot at least the
15:46
Speaker 1: coach is and Dimiko Ryans, who has said many times
15:50
Speaker 1: he doesn't care about the media, consumes the media. Yes,
15:57
Speaker 1: Dimiko Ryans gave a dissertation on media coverage and among
16:03
Speaker 1: the things that he had to say, Ryan's was very upset.
16:06
Speaker 1: Dimiko Ryans that the media, he said, everybody wants to
16:09
Speaker 1: write a hot story. The Texans coach said, and most
16:12
Speaker 1: of the time it's negative stuff that people want to
16:15
Speaker 1: talk about. Nobody wants to talk about the positive stuff
16:18
Speaker 1: that happens.
16:20
Speaker 2: Now.
16:20
Speaker 1: I added this last part boohoo hoo question coach Demico
16:27
Speaker 1: Ryans of the Houston Texans. He says, the media thrives
16:30
Speaker 1: around the Texans on negative coverage, a very into negativity.
16:35
Speaker 1: What is your read on this one? What is your
16:38
Speaker 1: read on this one? So on this one, if you
16:40
Speaker 1: open up the textbook to page thirteen of the textbook,
16:43
Speaker 1: and you read right at the very top. It is
16:46
Speaker 1: a textbook case of I don't care, but let me
16:51
Speaker 1: present a research paper for five minutes on why I
16:55
Speaker 1: don't care? Or go you care? Right? You care? So
17:02
Speaker 1: you either ignore the noise. Might you ignore the noise
17:06
Speaker 1: the concophony of sounds, or you don't. There's no need
17:11
Speaker 1: for a ted talk. You're not the editor, you're not
17:14
Speaker 1: the program director of the media. You're not I don't
17:17
Speaker 1: know what podcasters have. I don't know they just have
17:19
Speaker 1: nobody do it by themselves, but whatever, And you're not
17:23
Speaker 1: there to teach the media to avoid negative headline. It's
17:28
Speaker 1: like you're trying to reinvent the wheel, Like, what are
17:32
Speaker 1: you doing, Demiko Ryan? Seriously, for years it has been
17:37
Speaker 1: if it bleeds, it leaves. Now why is that phrase
17:40
Speaker 1: popular in mass media? If it bleeds at least? And
17:43
Speaker 1: why do I always say the equivalent of that in
17:45
Speaker 1: sports radio the better stories in the losing locker room? Now,
17:48
Speaker 1: why do I use that phrase? I use that phrase
17:51
Speaker 1: because it's it's the human condition, is what it is.
17:55
Speaker 1: And the phrase just give you an example of how
17:57
Speaker 1: far this goes back the phrase if it bleeds it
18:00
Speaker 1: leads originated in the eighteen hundreds. Do you understand that
18:05
Speaker 1: we're talking about the eighteen nineties during the Spanish American
18:09
Speaker 1: War And I'm not making this up. You can literally
18:13
Speaker 1: do your own research. Shall google it, ai it, do
18:16
Speaker 1: whatever you want. This goes back to the Spanish American
18:19
Speaker 1: War of the late eighteen nineties when the newspaper magnet
18:23
Speaker 1: William Randolph Hurst, and if you've ever been to the
18:26
Speaker 1: Hurst Castle, you know this guy was loaded. Okay, So
18:29
Speaker 1: William Randolph Hearst Hurst realized in the newspaper business that
18:34
Speaker 1: when you sensationalize a story of violence what happened, more
18:41
Speaker 1: people wanted to read about it, and therefore you sold
18:45
Speaker 1: more newspapers and trickle down economics, you made more money.
18:49
Speaker 1: So Damiko Ryans is acting like this is some kind
18:51
Speaker 1: of new phenomena. It goes back to the eighteen nineties, dude, like, seriously,
18:56
Speaker 1: this is how the media has operated. I would say
18:59
Speaker 1: it goes back to the case in the Angerthal days
19:02
Speaker 1: when they would draw the saber toothed tiger on the
19:06
Speaker 1: wall of the cave to warn to warn the others
19:09
Speaker 1: to avoid the saber toothed tiger. You get the point.
19:13
Speaker 1: So it's again, it's just human nature. That's my point.
19:15
Speaker 1: People don't click on stories that say Texans are playing great,
19:19
Speaker 1: everything's fine. They don't click on that. You click on
19:23
Speaker 1: Sky is falling, Texans blow, they're in trouble. You click
19:29
Speaker 1: on that story, and you make money based on the clicks.
19:33
Speaker 1: So that's how it works. It's essentially factory settings, is
19:38
Speaker 1: what it is. And because of evolution or whatever you
19:41
Speaker 1: want to call it, we're all even though we're all
19:42
Speaker 1: different wink wink, nod not we're not. We're all hardwired
19:47
Speaker 1: to prioritize threats over the warm fuzzy It's kind of
19:53
Speaker 1: you know, the warm fuzzy stuff's fine, but you're more
19:55
Speaker 1: worried about threats. You spot a lion out on the
19:59
Speaker 1: sea and gar you're gonna spot a lion rather than
20:02
Speaker 1: sit there and admire the sunset. You got me on that.
20:07
Speaker 2: I know.
20:07
Speaker 1: Listen, it's right my wheelhouse. I want to think Mike,
20:09
Speaker 1: who sent me the story, good job by you. Low
20:12
Speaker 1: hanging fruit, which, as I've said for years, is the
20:15
Speaker 1: most delicious fruit is the low hanging fruit. So again,
20:17
Speaker 1: just stop whining, Dimico Ryans. You want nicewarmcoverage, go to
20:22
Speaker 1: Texans dot Com, which is like, you know, the Sunshine
20:25
Speaker 1: website for the Texans. I'm sure it's all propaganda and
20:28
Speaker 1: you probably love that, right and get your pants down

Speaker 1: for MVP last year? Yeah? Did? When did Dak pick
24:29

24:32
Speaker 1: must have been another dimension, Rich, a dimension I don't
24:36
Speaker 1: live in Rich anyway, he says, Now what Dodgers in seven?
24:42
Speaker 1: He says, love the show? Well, thank you, Rich. I
24:45
Speaker 1: appreciate the fact that you're a loyal minion to the
24:48
Speaker 1: Overnight Show. And I would like to quote, based on
24:52
Speaker 1: your track record here, I would like to quote one
24:55
Speaker 1: of the great movies of all time, Talladega Knights, and
24:59
Speaker 1: the line was, don't you put that evil on me,
25:02
Speaker 1: Ricky Bobby. So don't you put that evil on me, Rich,
25:06
Speaker 1: because you're gonna You're gonna put the Waymie on the Doyer's.
25:09
Speaker 1: And then that means that the Blue Jays are gonna
25:12
Speaker 1: win the World series. That's how that's gonna go.
25:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
25:15
Speaker 1: First, now I've be in the terrible who loves to
25:20
Speaker 1: send in things we say to the local yokels. In
25:25
Speaker 1: Houston because they have nothing to talk about. And imagine
25:28
Speaker 1: doing local Houston sports radio. How bad the sports scene
25:30
Speaker 1: is there? Holy crap, No wonder that this show is
25:34
Speaker 1: a better topic than the local Houston sports scene.
25:36
Speaker 4: But you're lucky you're in broadcasting, Ben, Not everyone gets
25:40
Speaker 4: to talk about the whole kitten kaboodle like you do.
25:42
Speaker 1: Oh you mean national not doing local? Yeah, I know
25:45
Speaker 1: it can be if it's one of those word things,
25:47
Speaker 1: because it depends what town it is. Because the teams
25:51
Speaker 1: are bad, it's good. But if they're really really bad,
25:54
Speaker 1: it's there's a point you cross the rubicon, like the
25:57
Speaker 1: local teams are supposed to be good and they're bad,
25:59
Speaker 1: but they're not a bad You're okay. If you do
26:02
Speaker 1: local radio and the teams are non competitive, boring, lacking
26:07
Speaker 1: star power, lacking any talking points, it's a freaking nightmare.
26:12
Speaker 1: You're better off just reading random Wikipedia pages. Terry Terry
26:17
Speaker 1: in England writes, and he says, no, malor, that was
26:20
Speaker 1: a list, not a big board. You're not mel kiper,
26:23
Speaker 1: not enough hair. That's a cheap shot. And that was
26:26
Speaker 1: not a list. That was a big board. Yeah that
26:30
Speaker 1: was that was absolutely a big board. He needs to
26:31
Speaker 1: learn the difference. Yeah, I mean, i'll teach you. Come
26:34
Speaker 1: to my class sometime, I'll teach you about that. Let's
26:36
Speaker 1: see here skip over that one. All right, let's go
26:39
Speaker 1: to the phones. Let's go to Enie Meanie miney mo.
26:42
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to John who's in Atlanta? Hello? John, Welcome,
26:46
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahler Show.
26:50
Speaker 2: Hey, how's going then? Brother? He you know I called
26:54
Speaker 2: in the other night just on your show. Man. I
26:56
Speaker 2: love it. Man, it's great, thank you. And I'm a
27:01
Speaker 2: big baseball fan. But talking NFL stuff, I just want
27:07
Speaker 2: to get your take on what do you think about
27:09
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots or what's going on there. I
27:12
Speaker 2: never saw that happening where they're at now. You know,
27:18
Speaker 2: the AFC East in the lead and they beat the
27:22
Speaker 2: I think they beat the Bills what a couple of
27:24
Speaker 2: weeks ago. And they're going to play Atlanta. Yeah, I
27:27
Speaker 2: think this weekend. I think they're going to destroy them personally.
27:31
Speaker 2: But I don't like the Falcons. But anyways, where are you?
27:36
Speaker 1: Where are you from? Originally you're not from Atlanta?
27:39
Speaker 2: No, no, man, I'm a retired first armant from the
27:42
Speaker 2: Ices Army. I've lived every basically all around the country.
27:47
Speaker 1: How long How long were you in the army.
27:49
Speaker 2: For twenty five years?
27:51
Speaker 1: Oh, look at you. Thank you for your service. That's
27:53
Speaker 1: a great run. And what was your favorite military brace
27:55
Speaker 1: that you lived at North Carolina.
27:58
Speaker 2: I'm a eighty second ear warn Division guys.
28:01
Speaker 1: So that's so cool. You've seen a few things, I
28:05
Speaker 1: bet in your time in the military.
28:07
Speaker 2: All right, some weird things. But I got a great
28:10
Speaker 2: friend who's retired. He lives up in New England. He's
28:13
Speaker 2: a big Patriots fan. And yeah, and I'm like, man,
28:17
Speaker 2: I can't. I did not see the Patriots doing what
28:19
Speaker 2: they're doing right now.
28:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but the only thing like this is the
28:22
Speaker 1: Patriots look great. Drake May appears to have established himself
28:26
Speaker 1: the only quality if you want to be a jerk,
28:30
Speaker 1: and I love being a jerk. I'm a talk show
28:32
Speaker 1: says you know, John. It would be that they played
28:35
Speaker 1: a bunch of cream puffs like the Bills wins legit,
28:38
Speaker 1: But they have one of the all time worst schedules
28:42
Speaker 1: in NFL history in terms of the opponent strength of schedule.
28:45
Speaker 1: And you know, the Draft every year it's based on
28:48
Speaker 1: opponent strength of schedule. And if you look at who
28:51
Speaker 1: the Patriots have played. They have played the worst of
28:55
Speaker 1: the worst. They played New Orleans, Tennessee, Cleveland, that's who
28:59
Speaker 1: they've beaten the last past three games, played Carolina. The
29:02
Speaker 1: Dolphins are terrible this year. The strength of schedule for
29:05
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots this year, opponent strength of schedule
29:08
Speaker 1: is by far the worst in the NFL. Three point
29:12
Speaker 1: fifty four is the opponents and strength of schedule of
29:15
Speaker 1: the opponent. So that's the only thing is like, Okay,
29:17
Speaker 1: they're gonna win a bunch of games. They'll win at
29:18
Speaker 1: least twelve games, basically because they still play the Jets
29:21
Speaker 1: obviously in the division. They play the Jets twice, play
29:24
Speaker 1: the Dolphins again, they play the Bengals, as you mentioned,
29:27
Speaker 1: the Falcons this weekend. So they've already got six wins.
29:30
Speaker 1: They're gonna get minimum eleven wins if they just beat
29:33
Speaker 1: the teams they're supposed to be. They get to eleven wins,
29:35
Speaker 1: there'll be another upset somewhere in there. So yeah, but
29:38
Speaker 1: you still won't know by the time we get to
29:39
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You're not gonna know whether they're good or not.
29:41
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, John, Like they've been teams.
29:44
Speaker 2: And that's what I told my buddy. I was like, dude,
29:45
Speaker 2: you're delusional. They're gonna frigging fold. They're not gonna make it.
29:49
Speaker 2: They're just not gonna go.
29:50
Speaker 1: Well, they're gonna make it. Oh, they'll make it. They're
29:52
Speaker 1: gonna win enough to get to the playoffs. They will
29:54
Speaker 1: be a playoff team. But whether or not they're a
29:56
Speaker 1: legitimate good team, that's that's up for the eight.
30:00
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, and the Colts, I guess in the
30:04
Speaker 2: AFCI are looking a little bit better. Anyways. Man, I'm
30:07
Speaker 2: not a real first down the NFL, but I just
30:13
Speaker 2: tried to him. I say, hey, man, you're delusional if
30:15
Speaker 2: you think these guys are gonna go.
30:16
Speaker 1: To man, that's right. Yeah, what are we doing? All right?
30:19
Speaker 1: Thank you, I gotta go. That's great, John, look at
30:21
Speaker 1: that unbelievable new call. Great new calling, great new caller.
30:25
Speaker 1: So I only had to dump you once, Yeah, not
30:27
Speaker 1: too bad. Usually usually it's a two dump minimum. Yeah,
30:32
Speaker 1: that's only with Lucky Tony. The too dump minimum is
30:34
Speaker 1: with Lucky Tony. So I've got a number of people
30:37
Speaker 1: have been sending me this story. They want me to
30:39
Speaker 1: give a hot take on it, So I guess I'll
30:40
Speaker 1: give a hot take on It's called the traveling Man.
30:42
Speaker 1: Yannis dent to Cumbo. Jannis dent to Coombo. That is,
30:47
Speaker 1: I'm told, a basketball player, and a very good basketball player.
30:51
Speaker 1: So the Milwaukee Bucks were playing the team called the
30:54
Speaker 1: New York Knickerbockers. It's a basketball team from York.
30:58
Speaker 2: Uh.
30:58
Speaker 1: They don't win, they haven't won in like fifty something
31:00
Speaker 1: years or whatever. But you know, they have a lot
31:02
Speaker 1: of fans in the little Wall Street guys go and
31:04
Speaker 1: watch them play and all that. So anyway, the Bucks
31:06
Speaker 1: and the Knicks got together a one thirty one, one
31:10
Speaker 1: twenty two Bucks win. Giannis ad dent to Coombo, though,
31:13
Speaker 1: was a trending topic. As he took let's see here
31:16
Speaker 1: he was, he was not called for traveling even though
31:19
Speaker 1: he took one, two, three, four, five six steps six
31:27
Speaker 1: steps slacked. He gathered the ball on a drive, he
31:31
Speaker 1: didn't dribble, and the referee stood there gobsmacked, and they
31:36
Speaker 1: didn't call traveling. And that moment, it was in the
31:39
Speaker 1: first quarter. It went viral on social media and they
31:42
Speaker 1: showed the slow motion clip. Even our blind listeners like Incoterra,
31:45
Speaker 1: Cancy and Emmett the blind Seahawk fan can see that
31:50
Speaker 1: in the slow down. It was egregious, it was blatant,
31:55
Speaker 1: it was all of that. Even the announcers on in
32:00
Speaker 1: See I think it was on NBC, Reggie Miller and
32:02
Speaker 1: Jamal Crawford, they were laughing, this is like the most
32:05
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing. Mike Tarrico on NBC was great. He brought
32:10
Speaker 1: up the gather step rule. And this is where worlds
32:17
Speaker 1: collide and people say, well, wait a minute, what is that.
32:21
Speaker 1: So the gather step rule, now, technically there was no
32:24
Speaker 1: change to the traveling rule. It's the same rule. The rule.
32:29
Speaker 1: Though here's the issue. It's been subjective for years, and
32:33
Speaker 1: they threw in this vague gather step concept. It was
32:37
Speaker 1: formalized way back in twenty nineteen. So they say, at
32:41
Speaker 1: the time, I remember they made a big deal about
32:43
Speaker 1: We talked about it on the radio show. They said, well,
32:45
Speaker 1: it's a line with FEBA. We want to be on
32:47
Speaker 1: the same level as FOEBA. And so it allows a
32:50
Speaker 1: first step after the gather to not count towards the
32:54
Speaker 1: two step limit, so essentially giving you three steps. Now,
33:01
Speaker 1: this was double that the officials are supposed to use
33:04
Speaker 1: what's called a two count rhythm judgment. But it's a
33:08
Speaker 1: judgment call. And are we going to get to the
33:11
Speaker 1: point where every call must be right and they're gonna
33:14
Speaker 1: review every traveling call? Are we going to get to
33:17
Speaker 1: that point?
33:17
Speaker 3: God?
33:17
Speaker 1: I hope not. Man, I hope not. Let's go to
33:21
Speaker 1: Steve in Manhattan. Hello, Steambo in Manhattan?
33:28
Speaker 2: All right?
33:29
Speaker 1: Where are you? I don't know. I guess he's not there.
33:31
Speaker 4: Let's say hello, probably prepping to be one of these
33:34
Speaker 4: other fake calls.
33:35
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's I think it's Kenny Jersey. That's probably
33:39
Speaker 1: probably the fake call. Hello, Kenny, welcome. See why didn't
33:48
Speaker 1: you just go back to your other phone? You could
33:50
Speaker 1: have gone to your other phone?
33:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what the other phone. The other phone
33:55
Speaker 2: is in the other room.
33:56
Speaker 1: Man, all right? That is that is unbelievable dedication. That
34:00
Speaker 1: is both impressive and it's also psycho behavior. So you
34:04
Speaker 1: have one phone and run, woman are you? You're running
34:07
Speaker 1: back and forth? Like, how does this work? How does
34:09
Speaker 1: this racket work?
34:10
Speaker 2: Well? I just listen.
34:12
Speaker 1: I just found out that you have to have the
34:14
Speaker 1: phone with you when you're talking.
34:15
Speaker 2: You can't have it in the other room and be
34:17
Speaker 2: in the other room and talk.
34:18
Speaker 1: I just found that out.
34:20
Speaker 4: Now listen, guys, listen, he's calling back on the other
34:24
Speaker 4: What are you doing?
34:26
Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, why are you calling back on the
34:28
Speaker 1: other line? We have caller ID.
34:29
Speaker 2: Dude, I know, I know.
34:34
Speaker 1: Okay, see you are. You were so flustered because you
34:38
Speaker 1: were trying to do a phony phone call, and now
34:40
Speaker 1: we put you on and now you don't know what
34:42
Speaker 1: to say.
34:43
Speaker 3: No, I do know what to say.
34:45
Speaker 1: I just you showed up. All right, call back. I
34:51
Speaker 1: know you'll call back anyway. Oh my god, what just happened?
34:55
Speaker 1: I believe that was my voice. I don't know what happened.
34:57
Speaker 1: He must have had his phone or like I think
35:00
Speaker 1: what he might have had the iHeart app on his
35:03
Speaker 1: other device. And then he hung up the phone, and
35:05
Speaker 1: then the show started playing I'm a dumb thing to do?
35:11
Speaker 2: All right?
35:11
Speaker 1: Come on, Steve, you're a professional radio call You're Steve
35:14
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, and yet it sounds like you've never used
35:18
Speaker 1: technology in your life, Like, but yet you do all
35:21
Speaker 1: these phony phone calls, Like what is that all about? Anyway?
35:26
Speaker 1: It is the here, it is, that's right, Eddie, He's
35:29
Speaker 1: a freaking moron. It is the Ben Mahler Show. As
35:33
Speaker 1: we work our way through the over night, we'll push
35:37
Speaker 1: back some of those other stories we tease because we
35:39
Speaker 1: have Mallor to the third degree. Here is the insis
35:44
Speaker 1: the insta trivia. The Raiders are a miserable football team,
35:49
Speaker 1: but Max Crosby is the first player with ten or
35:53
Speaker 1: more tackles for loss and five or more passes defended
35:57

Speaker 1: Loreedo Jack Skellington of course, all right, the great Jack Skellington.
39:23
Speaker 1: I know that is incorrect. The correct answer is JJ
39:26
Speaker 1: Watt back in twenty fifteen. I want to whatever it
39:29
Speaker 1: happened to JJ Watta. He never wanted that attention, he
39:33
Speaker 1: never wanted the spotlight. Here we go, it's Mallard. How
39:36
Speaker 1: about that?
39:37
Speaker 3: To the third degree?
39:39
Speaker 1: Here waas is one? Big Ben gets grilled.
39:45
Speaker 4: So Carson Wentzon said to undergo season ending surgery on

Speaker 4: his left shoulder, and that leaves the Vikings with only
39:49
Speaker 4: two quarterbacks on their roster. JJ McCarthy and some guy
39:52
Speaker 4: I've never heard of.
39:53
Speaker 1: Ben.
39:54
Speaker 4: Is there anyone that the Vikings should target in a trade?
39:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jameis Winston. That's it. I mean, it's all depressing,
40:01
Speaker 1: but Jamis Winston is fun bad. He's not bad bad,
40:04
Speaker 1: he's fun bad. He'll at least be fun. Other than that,
40:07
Speaker 1: it's Russell Wilson. It's Kirk Cousins. You've already had Cousins.
40:11
Speaker 1: Wilson's done, So that's it. That's the not a list,
40:15
Speaker 1: that's the big board. It's a big board of one.
40:18
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's third string quarterback there behind Russ and Jackson, Dart,
40:22
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston next.
40:24

40:30
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers. Does Party's return to make San
40:32
Speaker 4: Fan more of a threat in the NFC West.
40:34
Speaker 1: No, No, because he's been exposed as a second tier quarterback.
40:39
Speaker 1: So it's about the other players. They don't have their
40:41
Speaker 1: name brand defensive players. I'm not part of the forty
40:45
Speaker 1: nine er Brock Purty mouching marching in chowder society. And
40:48
Speaker 1: that said, mac Jones has cooled off, so Purty would
40:53
Speaker 1: be a slight upgrade over the way Max played recently.
40:56
Speaker 4: Next, Tony Dungee took to social media this week to
40:58
Speaker 4: say that the NFL needs to make replay reviewable. This
41:01
Speaker 4: comes after the outrage over the Eagles Tush push being
41:03
Speaker 4: called dead for forward progress when Jalen Hurts had the
41:06
Speaker 4: ball root from his hands.
41:08
Speaker 1: Ben, do you think Dungee's right about this? Yes, Let's
41:11
Speaker 1: make every game like Game four or three of the
41:14
Speaker 1: World series. Make every game six hours and thirty nine minutes.
41:17
Speaker 1: We'll just keep.
