2:06

2:47
Speaker 1: tell you something, Scrooge, No matter whether you're young or old,
2:49
Speaker 1: this affects every man, woman, child. This is the universal
2:52
Speaker 1: language of the world. Everyone has to wipe their tuk
2:55
Speaker 1: us and sometimes you get that dry toilet paper. You
3:00
Speaker 1: might as well go down to a home improvement store
3:02
Speaker 1: and get some sandpaper and wipe you took us what
3:04
Speaker 1: a mess. Let me tell you something. The thing's better.
3:07
Speaker 1: And I recommend you can switch right now to life
3:11
Speaker 1: changing wet extra large flushable dudewipes because weather just cleans better. Man,
3:17
Speaker 1: is that good? Available at Amazon and at major retailers nationwide.
3:21
Speaker 1: Dudewipes best clean pants. Down down, down, down, down, down,
3:28
Speaker 1: down down. And I also want to point out that

3:54
Speaker 1: from Long Island hadn't heard from him in a while,
3:56
Speaker 1: and know what's going on with e dog eat doggy
3:58
Speaker 1: Doggy have no idea lead this hour is from a
4:02
Speaker 1: town that has an NFL team, but not a good one.
4:05
Speaker 1: We go to Nashville. It was pep rally day. The
4:08
Speaker 1: only one I know excited about this was Danny and Nashville.
4:11
Speaker 1: That's it. Everyone else is gonna I don't know about that.
4:16
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. The Titans welcome their latest coach,
4:20
Speaker 1: the next coach to be fired by the Tennessee Titans,
4:23
Speaker 1: with a lot of pomp and circumstance. What we're gonna do, though,
4:27
Speaker 1: is we're gonna take out our our chef's knife and
4:30
Speaker 1: we are gonna trim away the fat and we're gonna
4:32
Speaker 1: get to the good stuff. We're gonna get to the
4:34
Speaker 1: good stuff here this smooth talker. We're gonna focus in
4:38
Speaker 1: on the money quotes from the new coach, and if
4:41
Speaker 1: you pay attention, chances are even if you're in Nashville,
4:43
Speaker 1: like Sea Bass Blind, Sea bass didn't pay attention. You
4:46
Speaker 1: probably didn't pay attention either, so you mind have missed it.
4:49
Speaker 1: So Robert Salah, he's the new coach, he's the he's
4:53
Speaker 1: the guy they picked. They picked Jets trash as their
4:55
Speaker 1: new coach. So Robert Salah was asked a bunch of questions, obviously,
4:59
Speaker 1: but he was. He was asked about his vision for
5:01
Speaker 1: how he wants the Tennessee Titans to play as he's
5:05
Speaker 1: now the coach, and well, rather than I think we
5:08
Speaker 1: have the audio on, so rather than me tell you,
5:10
Speaker 1: let's hear from the man of the hour. Here's Robert
5:12
Speaker 1: Sala asked about how he wants his football team to play.
5:16
Speaker 1: Take a listen, fast.
5:18
Speaker 2: And violent man, play in and play out. We're gonna
5:21
Speaker 2: play with speed, We're gonna play confident, We're gonna have
5:23
Speaker 2: some swag talk a little uh, but I want to
5:30
Speaker 2: I want him to show who they are playing and
5:31
Speaker 2: play out and like I said, the one thing that
5:33
Speaker 2: you'll notice is the speed at which we play in
5:35
Speaker 2: the violence at which.
5:36
Speaker 1: We do it. All Right, So there's Robert Sala And
5:40
Speaker 1: believe it or not, it's twenty twenty six and I
5:43
Speaker 1: just did a dude, Wipe's commercial and we have to
5:44
Speaker 1: bleep out the S word. Okay, so fast and violent.
5:48
Speaker 1: That is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
5:51
Speaker 1: the question. You just heard it. Robert Salas said his
5:54
Speaker 1: vision for the Titans is to play fast and violent.
5:58
Speaker 1: How does that sound to you? You make the call.
6:02
Speaker 1: So my views on this, I have Radio Shack, pontoon Boat,
6:06
Speaker 1: and B fifty two and we will combine all of
6:10
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some
6:14
Speaker 1: Macadamian nut cookies, white chocolate Macadamian nut cookies, which are
6:18
Speaker 1: just outstanding, just marvelous. All right, So, first of all,
6:23
Speaker 1: the talk game for Robert Salad continues to be on point.
6:29
Speaker 1: It was a street, it would be Rodeo Drive or
6:32
Speaker 1: Madison Avenue. It's just amazing this guy. Everyone's given him
6:37
Speaker 1: a five star Yelp review, no notes, just five stars.
6:41
Speaker 1: That's it now. As we said back in the day,
6:45
Speaker 1: the issue with Robert Salad, and it's an old phrase
6:48
Speaker 1: and they're not even really around. I used to have
6:50
Speaker 1: a website these days, radio shack. He's got a radio
6:53
Speaker 1: Shack problem. What is a radio shack problem for Robert Salad?
6:59
Speaker 1: It's the walkie okay, because the talkie really good, really
7:05
Speaker 1: really good talking. The walkie not good. Dead batteries, duct
7:12
Speaker 1: taped antenna, nothing's getting through. It's not good. And this
7:17
Speaker 1: is a deja vu situation. Obviously, it's a different zip code.
7:22
Speaker 1: It's below the Mason Dixon line. However, Robert Sala continues
7:27
Speaker 1: to be one of the great carpetbaggers of our time
7:30
Speaker 1: because I'm old enough to remember when he coached the Jets,
7:33
Speaker 1: and I sat in this very chair behind his very microphone.
7:36
Speaker 1: I did a mallard monologue about Robert Salah taking over
7:39
Speaker 1: his coach of the Jets. And do you remember what
7:41
Speaker 1: his catchphrase was when he took over the Jets? Do
7:43
Speaker 1: you remember you know his catchphrase was? His catchphrase was
7:48
Speaker 1: all gas, no break, All gas no break. So he's
7:52
Speaker 1: gone from all gas no break, too fast and violent.
7:57
Speaker 1: So when he said all gas no break back in
8:00
Speaker 1: the day, it sounded like a monster truck rally and
8:03
Speaker 1: it turned out to be a tricycle with a bell.
8:06
Speaker 1: Is what the Jets were when they had Robert Salad
8:08
Speaker 1: on the sidelence. They weren't all gas, no break. They
8:13
Speaker 1: were pyromaniacs, the Jets, and they had a blow torch,
8:17
Speaker 1: and there was no fire extinguisher anywhere within the county lines.
8:22
Speaker 1: Burn Baby Burn, Burn Burn, Burn Burn burn Burn, And
8:26
Speaker 1: then everyone standing around asking well, who lit the match?
8:31
Speaker 1: Who lit the match? Now, listen Robert Salad. I'm impressed.
8:35
Speaker 1: He continues to be a great order. He has the
8:39
Speaker 1: gift of gab. And I'm convinced that Robert Salad could
8:42
Speaker 1: sell sawdust to a lumber mill, and the people at
8:45
Speaker 1: the lumber mill who bought the sawdust would be clapping
8:48
Speaker 1: like seals. They'd be so happy to buy the sawdust.
8:50
Speaker 1: But you don't need sawdust, you're a lumbermill. It doesn't matter.
8:53
Speaker 1: He sold us the sawdust. This is extra good sawdust. Okay,
8:56
Speaker 1: let's clap. Legendary. I don't know grifter energy, I guess
9:01
Speaker 1: however you want to describe it. But the head coaching stuff,
9:06
Speaker 1: that's where the magic trick keeps falling apart. He keeps dropping.
9:10
Speaker 1: He's trying to make the rabbit disappear, and he keeps
9:12
Speaker 1: dropping the rabbit. And so how much the questions how
9:16
Speaker 1: much was the Jets issue, the Jets being the Jets,
9:20
Speaker 1: and how much of that was the man in the
9:22
Speaker 1: mirror Robert Sala that's the question. You talk fast, you
9:26
Speaker 1: talk violent until you walk the walk though. It's like, okay,
9:31
Speaker 1: it's like a verbal pre workout. It smells strong. It
9:34
Speaker 1: doesn't really do anything. Now, page two here, staying in
9:39
Speaker 1: the Music City, Robert Salas said that he is going
9:42
Speaker 1: to call the defensive plays for the Titans, something that
9:45
Speaker 1: he did not do when he was with the Jets.
9:49
Speaker 1: He didn't do it. He lets somebody else be the
9:51
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and then he got whacked and went went
9:56
Speaker 1: back to the Niners. He said, quote calling plays for
9:59
Speaker 1: me is quote from Robert Salah calling plays for me.
10:01
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily, he said, about control, but it's about
10:07
Speaker 1: connecting with the players. He then later pointed out that
10:13
Speaker 1: when he didn't call plays, he said he felt like
10:16
Speaker 1: he was the timeout and red flag guy. That's kind
10:20
Speaker 1: of funny, right, I'm the timeout and red flag flag
10:23
Speaker 1: guy here. I had to, he said, I had the
10:25
Speaker 1: greatest seat in the house as a fan. Okay, question
10:29
Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down. Thumbs up or thumbs down
10:33
Speaker 1: on head coaches in this case, the Titans, Robert Salah
10:37
Speaker 1: calling their own plays, whether it's offense or defense. In
10:40
Speaker 1: this case defense, So thumbs up, thumbs down on Titans
10:43
Speaker 1: head coach Robert Salah calling his own defensive plays. So
10:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go first here. Big thumbs up, big thumbs up,
10:51
Speaker 1: only one, big thumbs up, big fat, enthusiastic thumbs up. Bravo.
10:57
Speaker 1: This is the daily double, the Ale double. In addition
11:02
Speaker 1: to handling the x's and o's, this is also a
11:05
Speaker 1: public admission by Salah that while he was plausibly coaching
11:10
Speaker 1: the Jets, he was basically a seat warmer, a decorative
11:15
Speaker 1: throw pillow, if you will, on the silence, and if
11:19
Speaker 1: you look through the dusty record books, the annals of
11:22
Speaker 1: NFL history, you don't have to work at NFL films
11:25
Speaker 1: to know the greatest of the great often called their
11:29
Speaker 1: own plays. Bill Belichick ran the Patriots defense in the
11:35
Speaker 1: Glory days. Andy Reid is the one that makes the
11:38
Speaker 1: calls for Kansas City. Sean McVay the Rams offensive wizard,
11:45
Speaker 1: not the assistant manager at Chili's. He actually runs the
11:48
Speaker 1: Rams offense. We've never understood all the years we've been
11:52
Speaker 1: doing this job. We've never understood the coaches that are
11:54
Speaker 1: hired because they are tagged as prodigies, that they just
11:59
Speaker 1: get there's defensive savants or offensive geniuses, and then they decide, no, no, no, no,
12:06
Speaker 1: I'm gonna outsource the very thing that made me get
12:10
Speaker 1: this job. I am no longer going to do. It
12:14
Speaker 1: would be like if you're a talk show host getting
12:18
Speaker 1: a talk show and then say, well, I'm done doing
12:20
Speaker 1: the show. I'll screen the calls or somebody that I'm
12:22
Speaker 1: done doing. Well, no, you were hired to talk. That's
12:25
Speaker 1: what are you doing, And it's it's like we're not
12:29
Speaker 1: splitting the atom. I don't believe it's just sports. It's
12:32
Speaker 1: just football. And I've always had the mindset that you
12:37
Speaker 1: should fail or succeed with your own hands, your own
12:41
Speaker 1: fingers and or your own fingerprints, your own DNA at
12:45
Speaker 1: the crime scene. You should not allow someone else to
12:49
Speaker 1: cost you your job. When you don't call plays, you're
12:52
Speaker 1: not really a coach at that particular moment. You're a
12:56
Speaker 1: spin doctor, Spin spin, spin, spin spin. You're a vibe manager,
13:00
Speaker 1: and you might as well be floating on a pontoon
13:02
Speaker 1: boat down the morale canal because it's all about team morale,
13:07
Speaker 1: waving at players as it's like a parade, and you
13:11
Speaker 1: know you don't want to lose your gig. But if
13:13
Speaker 1: you lose your gig because someone else is bad at
13:15
Speaker 1: their job, and it's really your job, that's on you.
13:19
Speaker 1: That's on you, right, Sing for your supper, Sing for
13:22
Speaker 1: your own supper, Do it all right? Final thought, We
13:28
Speaker 1: stay with this story because there's something else that came
13:30
Speaker 1: up that I thought was pretty good, the numbers game.
13:33
Speaker 1: What is that about the numbers game? Makes mine? So?
13:37
Speaker 1: Roberts I was asked about the analytics and he said
13:42
Speaker 1: something that was seen out of the modern orthodoxy of
13:45
Speaker 1: the NFL. What did he say? So? Roberts essentially said
13:50
Speaker 1: that these analytics stuff, it's not new, it's just called
13:54
Speaker 1: something different. It's all just information. And he says there's
13:58
Speaker 1: more of it now than ever. And he said that
14:01
Speaker 1: this is a quote. Salas said, it's still up to
14:03
Speaker 1: the coaches to decide what's best. Of course, means as
14:06
Speaker 1: good as all the rest. He said, the book doesn't
14:08
Speaker 1: account for whether, it doesn't account for whether or not.
14:12
Speaker 1: He used the example of Jeffrey Simmons is up against
14:14
Speaker 1: a third string guard, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
14:18
Speaker 1: Now let me ask you, between you and I, what
14:21
Speaker 1: do you think the reaction was of the analytical community. Yeah,
14:27
Speaker 1: it was revenge of the nerds in shambles, devastated. This
14:34
Speaker 1: is why you failed, Robert sala You don't know what
14:37
Speaker 1: you're doing. You don't know what you're doing. So Salah
14:40
Speaker 1: is immediately on the knotty list for this. Geekdom is
14:45
Speaker 1: in a tizzy over the fact that Robert Salas said
14:49
Speaker 1: it's ultimately up to the coaches. It's just information. We've
14:52
Speaker 1: always had it. It's just a little more. Here's the question, So,
14:57
Speaker 1: how do you read the room? How do you read
14:59
Speaker 1: the room? On Titans coach Robert Salad pushing back, push
15:02
Speaker 1: it back now on the blind use of analytics. Love it,
15:08
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. It's a once in a blue moon situation. Finally,
15:14
Speaker 1: a guy with some skin in the game who stands
15:17
Speaker 1: up at the dais, stands up at the podium, looks
15:20
Speaker 1: out at all the media hacks and the nerds that
15:23
Speaker 1: are in there, and then the spreadsheet brigade, and it says,
15:27
Speaker 1: take a hike, take a iike. So Robert sala essentially
15:31
Speaker 1: flying a B fifty two over the geeks in the
15:36
Speaker 1: modern day Battle of the Midway. The Battle of Midway
15:40
Speaker 1: and he just dropped a truth bomb from the B
15:43
Speaker 1: fifty two right on their horn rimmed glasses right there.
15:47
Speaker 1: And it's about time. It's about freaking time. I'm so
15:51
Speaker 1: sick of this infestation of these Poindexters who are being
15:57
Speaker 1: treated like they are the ones in football that are
16:00
Speaker 1: making the tackles and those that have taken the kool
16:04
Speaker 1: aid and had the big glass of the kool aid.
16:06
Speaker 1: And this is a religion. Analytics is a religion. If
16:11
Speaker 1: you speak ill of analytics, you are violating these people's religions.
16:15
Speaker 1: And it's why we've had so many coaches go for
16:18
Speaker 1: it on fourth down, costs their team's games in the playoffs.
16:22
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, my guy from the Rams McVeigh. They did
16:29
Speaker 1: it because that's the default setting now among coaches. You're
16:33
Speaker 1: not criticized from the nerds, and you don't want to
16:36
Speaker 1: have a nerd uprising, so you just do in those
16:39
Speaker 1: moments what they tell you to do, and whatever the
16:41
Speaker 1: stat sheets tell you, whatever the three ring binder tells you,
16:45
Speaker 1: just do it. Well, anyone could do that, and these
16:50
Speaker 1: Poindexter types, they they saw it. I give him credit.
16:53
Speaker 1: They saw that this is a good get rich quick thing.
16:56
Speaker 1: You could either go work for Google or work for
16:58
Speaker 1: an NFL team, And they hopped in and slid into
17:01
Speaker 1: the NFL world and the sporting world in general. And
17:04
Speaker 1: now they're trying to turn in football, a violent game,
17:11
Speaker 1: into some kind of linear math equation. Now, the thing
17:16
Speaker 1: that Salad was talking about, there's always been a thing
17:19
Speaker 1: called I remember even when I was playing back in
17:21
Speaker 1: the Bronze Age, they had these things called tendencies and
17:24
Speaker 1: they'd study that and they say, Okay, if the ball's
17:26
Speaker 1: on the near hash mark, the odds indicate that the
17:30
Speaker 1: other team's going to run a play to the far
17:32
Speaker 1: side of the field eighty percent of the time. So
17:34
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to shift to the far side of
17:36
Speaker 1: the field because that's where there's more space and they're
17:39
Speaker 1: gonna run. Some teams, though, would run to the near
17:42
Speaker 1: side where the ball was, and they wouldn't go to
17:45
Speaker 1: the deep side of the field, and so but it
17:46
Speaker 1: was all tendencies. Over the years, it's become analytics, which
17:49
Speaker 1: sounds better to some and spoiler alert, spoiler, these statistics
17:54
Speaker 1: are not linear. There are squiggly lines on all of
17:58
Speaker 1: these things. You can not account for the feel of
18:01
Speaker 1: the game on an iPad. You can't just look at
18:04
Speaker 1: your tablet and say, okay, well it's this is a
18:06
Speaker 1: you know, this is the field of the game. No no, no, no,
18:08
Speaker 1: no no. And part of me, though this is very bizarre,
18:11
Speaker 1: I can't believe what I'm saying. This part of me
18:13
Speaker 1: is now pulling for Robert Sella. I admit it. I'm hooked.
18:18
Speaker 1: I know he sucks as a coach. I saw it
18:20
Speaker 1: with the Jets. I documented it here throughout my time
18:25
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. But I am slightly pulling for
18:27
Speaker 1: this guy, even after that disaster with the Jets, because
18:32
Speaker 1: I like the fact he's at least talking to talk.
18:33
Speaker 1: We'll see if he walks it. And this is not XL.
18:37

Speaker 1: on X like the aforementioned and we talked about this
22:12
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. The Mallard Riddle of the Day
22:16
Speaker 1: can answer things like that. At Ben Mallard you can
22:18
Speaker 1: say hello to Loraina the FSR tech queens don't talk
22:23
Speaker 1: to me, and right over there coop a loop. Uh
22:28
Speaker 1: Bronco fan, that's a Bronco fan. Your comments can and
22:32
Speaker 1: lose you in the quarter of sports radio, so please
22:37
Speaker 1: act accordingly. Back to it, all right, So back to
22:43
Speaker 1: when we go speaking of the Broncos. Did you see
22:47
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett has another job in the NFL. This is
22:50
Speaker 1: so good these guys. They just keep shuffling them around.
22:53
Speaker 1: They're like, well, okay, so you were bad with the Broncos.
22:56
Speaker 1: You gotta sit out a little bit, then we'll bring
22:58
Speaker 1: you back. Nathaniel Hackett a legendarily disastrous coaching reign in Denver,
23:04
Speaker 1: and he has a new job in the NFL. And
23:07
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett will be the quarterback coach for the Miami Dolphins,
23:13
Speaker 1: which is perfect because they don't have a quarterback. So
23:19
Speaker 1: now Hackett technically was in the NFL last year, although
23:23
Speaker 1: nobody knew it because he had a consulting job with
23:26
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and then prior to that, he
23:30
Speaker 1: had bounced around because he's bad at his job, from
23:32
Speaker 1: Buffalo to Jacksonville, the Green Bay to the Jets, and
23:35
Speaker 1: then the notoriously disastrous coach of the Broncos. D in
23:39
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two NFL season four and eleven as
23:44
Speaker 1: the head coach of Denver, and the offense was terrible,
23:49
Speaker 1: and he went to the Jets and they sucked, and
23:54
Speaker 1: so the one common nominator would be Nathaniel Hackett. So
23:58
Speaker 1: a good news for my friends in South Florida. Very exciting.
24:02
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett showing you the Dolphins are committed to not winning.
24:05
Speaker 1: So it's good to know new coach, same same mindset,
24:07
Speaker 1: same mindset. Time now to pay off the riddle of
24:12
Speaker 1: the day, the mallor riddle of the day. So the
24:16
Speaker 1: NFL will nod not be allowing blank predictions during the
24:24
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, will not allow it. How about that? All right?
24:29
Speaker 1: So let's see does anyone know the answer to the

27:21
Speaker 1: to calm down to that heart in line. Wow, look
27:24
Speaker 1: at you, Loraine so here here's again the Mallard riddle
27:27
Speaker 1: of the day. The NFL will not be allowing blank
27:31
Speaker 1: predictions during Super Bowl sixty. Lorena, would you like to
27:35
Speaker 1: attempt to answer? No? No, I don't want to attempt
27:39
Speaker 1: any Okay, all right, no answer from Lorena. Well, the
27:43
Speaker 1: correct answer to the Mallard riddle of the day. The
27:46
Speaker 1: NFL will not be allowing predictions on or prediction market
27:51
Speaker 1: commercials during the Super Bowl. So they're not allowing Yeah,
27:55
Speaker 1: like poly Market and Calshie Calshi, right, but Paul Market
28:00
Speaker 1: does too, but they're very popular these days, and so
28:03
Speaker 1: they're not allowing them to advertise. They are allowing our
28:08
Speaker 1: friends at DraftKings and that, I forget their rival of DraftKings,
28:14
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name, but they're allowing those big
28:16
Speaker 1: sports books to advertise and whatnot. But they're not going
28:19
Speaker 1: to allow the prediction markets to get in on this.
28:24
Speaker 1: And isn't that the gray area, right? It's like one
28:27
Speaker 1: of these like it's like, well, is that what is it?
28:29
Speaker 1: Is it? I think we kind of know what it is?
28:31
Speaker 1: But anyways, and that is legal. Those prediction markets are legal.
28:36
Speaker 1: You ever futs around with that? Koople Lope you ever
28:38
Speaker 1: get them in the prediction markets. My brother, my older brother,
28:40
Speaker 1: My older brother plays around with that a lot, and
28:43
Speaker 1: he likes it. But yeah, I saw a ton of
28:46
Speaker 1: ads for it all over Denver when I was there.
28:48
Speaker 1: I was a big in Denver. It's it's legal in
28:50
Speaker 1: California too. I think I think it's legal in California.
28:53
Speaker 1: But yeah, anyway, that's that's it. So the NFL will
28:58
Speaker 1: not allow advertising from them, but they will allow it
29:01
Speaker 1: from our friends at DraftKings and all that. It is
29:03
