• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I know yesterday if you were with us on the show,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the previous episode that we did here, we had an
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: octagon scheduled and one of the combatants did not show up.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That was a college football octagon that was ready and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Alameda Lou was there. Our buddy from Columbus did not
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: make it. He claims there was a time zone issue,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: so that has been time shifted that verbal octagon until Sunday.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: In the Monday, however, we have a different octagon that

• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Both combatants have locked it in. They're ready to go.

• 2:39
  Speaker 1: are gonna take it down, So I'll tell you more
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: about that coming up in a little bit. But it's
• 2:44

  Speaker 1: it's gonna be very exciting for you. It'll be exciting
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for me. We've done a lot of these over the years.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We haven't done one in a while. It's our first
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Octagon of twenty twenty five. But our lead this hour
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is from the star deep in the heart of Texas.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Deep deep, deep, deep, deep, deep deep deep. Wheels on
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the bus go round, end round. The wheels on the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: bus go round, end round. That's Jerry Jones bus as
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Jerry in Jerry's world, trying to figure things out here.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys got rid of their row Ton coach, Mike McCarthy,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and they're looking to lock down their next head coach.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: This is our obligatory malle monologue on the life and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: times of the Dallas Cowboys. Now, if you have not
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: heard the latest, perhaps not. There are conflicting reports, but
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: things appear to be trending up, up and away for
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Dion Sanders to become the next head coach in Dallas.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: A long time, longtime NFL insider who resides in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Dallas area, Ed Werder, who's got a direct line to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, tells us that he has been informed by
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: league sources that Dion Sanders would almost certainly, almost certainly
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: accept the Cowboys job if Jarry Jones offered it to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: The story also indicating that those closest inside the bubble
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of trust with Dion Sanders are encouraging him to pursue
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the NFL coaching job. But wait, there's more. Jerry Jones
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: also apparently enamored enamored with the idea of having Dion
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: as coach. According to long time grizzled ed Warder, So
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: let us discuss question. Dion Sanders, according to this would
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: almost certainly accept the Cowboys head coaching job if offered,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: believe it or not. Believe it or not. So I've
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: got Humphrey Bogart, bitter Pill, and groundwork, and we will
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we are going
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to make a nice meat loaf, is what we're going
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to make. I never liked meat loaf when I was
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a kid, and I really don't like it. Now my
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: mom made it everyone, so time, I why you make that, mom?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I don't like that, all right, so A, let's starry
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: with this. In terms of answering the question, Deon Sanders
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: almost certainly would accept the cowboy job. Do you believe
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it or not? I am a true believer. I am
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a I'm not agnostic. I believe it. I believe it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I believe it. I believe. To me, this is a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: no brainer. I don't even know why this debate's even happening, right.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Sanders played in Dallas for five seasons. I know it
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was a generation ago, and maybe you don't remember it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He helped the Cowboys actually win a Lombardi, So you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: got to be old to remember when Dion played for
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. He was an All Pro defensive player for
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: four seasons. He raised his family in the suburbs of
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Big Ded Dion Sanders would be a total dingleberry to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: not take the job. He's not a knucklehead. And this
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is not some generic position like it's easy. I won't
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: say it's easy er to say no to Jacksonville. You
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: can say no to Jacksonville. And this is a little different.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: When you think of iconic jobs as a coach in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: American sport, what do you think of You think managing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the New York Yankees, coaching the Boston Celtics or the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: hated Purple and Gold whatever that team is, and the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, you think of those type of jobs, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: so as a football coach, this is it. And to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: think Deon Sanders a couple of years back was coaching
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: high school football in Texas and now he has a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: chance at the Cowboy job. And no matter how pathetic
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are record wise, and we've talked about that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a lot over the last thirty years, coaching the Cowboys
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: just matters a little more, right, doesn't matter if they're
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a mid talent team, if you can be the person
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to get them to the next level. As a football coach,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it is the line from the Maltese Falcon, from Humphrey Voguard.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: This is the stuff, This is the stuff that dreams
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are made of. If you're a football coach, right, you're
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: following the path of Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: didn't mention Dave Campo or Chan Gaily mention them and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: some of the other stiffs that have coached the Cowboys.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But you know there's some big time people that have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: coached in Dallas now page two. So the chatter that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Dion Sanders would be okay, there's some noise here that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he'd be okay coaching Dakota Prescott. There were some reports
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: earlier this week saying that he doesn't really want to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: do that. He wants to coach his son Shader. He
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to deal with Dakota Prescott. So do you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: believe that Dion would be on board give the old
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: thumbs up to handling his inherited quarterback if he got
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the job. So I'll say, based on what I've heard,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he would not be enamored. He would put on a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: happy face, put on a happy face, but it would
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: be a bitter pill to swallow. Right, Can we all
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: agree on that? It's the kind of stuff you pinch
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: your nose because there's a little foul smell. And I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: walked by the sewer the other day and I cover
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: my nose because it smelled really nasty. Dak Prescott is
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: part of the problem with the Dallas Cowboys. He's not
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: part of the solution. He's an enigma because he puts
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: up numbers low information. Fans think he's better than he is,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and a lot of his success are in dog food
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: games where the other team is clearly below the level
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of talent the Cowboys have. But time and again he's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: been there a long time time and again in big spots,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: playoff games, key late season, regular season games, you're guaranteed
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: he's going to underperform. He's not as bad as some
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of the other stiffs of like Andy Dalton or more
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: recently Sam Darnold here, but he fails to meet expectations.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And Mike Tomlin likes to say the standard is the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: standard there in Pittsburgh, the standard is a winning record
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and losing the wildcard game. But for Dakota, the standard
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: is running into a pothole in big games. Watching him
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: play in these moments is about his enjoyable as having
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a fisher in your tukus and the real ones, no right,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the real ones, no coach prime. If he gets the job,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: if first of all, I got offered the job officially.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: If that happens, you have to click that little check
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: box where I agree to terms and conditions from Jerry Jones.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you cannot work back channels take
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Jerry out to a nice cigar bar somewhere and you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a piano bar, and you get Jerry to have a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: few cocktails, and then all of a sudden, Dak Prescott
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: gets a one way ticket out of Dodge somewhere else,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and he does have an ace up his sleeve, right,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the ace up Deon Sanders sleeve would be Jerry Jones,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: apparently enamored with the idea of coach Prime coming to town.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And in spite of a crap bag roster, Jerry knows, hey,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I can stay in the spotlight. And he's the carnival barker.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He's got the straw hat, he's got the striped red
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and white jack and on. It's all about the puff
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: puff puffery. If he if he cuts a check to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: buy Dion Sanders out of his college job, that would
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: give giveaway even more leverage to Dion. Now, speaking of that,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the last word here back in Boulder, so we read
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that Dion Sanders has approached the Colorado Athletic director, someone
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: named Rick George. Sounds like a fake name. I don't
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: know who that is, but apparently it's the athletic director
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: in Colorado. Rick George no relation to Paul George or
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: George of the Jungle. By the way, Dion Sanders approached
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the Colorado Athletic Director Rick George about additional moolah once
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: more of that nil money and also money for his
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: coaching staff. And the story that's being bounced around the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: echo chamber is that was not allowed. There was some
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: resistance from the athletic director at Colorado. So question, as
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: we move forward with the scuttle button about Dion Sanders
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys, why is Colorado said to be resistant
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to Deon sanders request for more nil money money money?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: All right, So I gave this story a little side.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: We like to play the game who leaked the story
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and based on a minutes long, minutes long mallor investigation,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: this obviously came from coach Primes camp. Right. This is
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a classic groundwork move. You leak this story to one
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of your buddies in the media or a couple of them,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: get this story bouncing around. It makes Colorado look bad.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It gives Dion Sanders and out. You plant the seed
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in the media. Well, DIONI loves Colorado, but they don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: love him back. And he's got an opportunity to go
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: to the NFL. They don't want to spend enough money.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And Dan's trying to compete with Ohio State and Notre
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Dame and all these teams that were deep in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: College Football Playoff and they're not giving him enough money
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and he's just got to go somewhere else. He's just
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: not getting the support. He's the victim. Yeah, it's old fashioned.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It's a strategic leak. You know, it didn't come from
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the university because it makes them look like a bunch
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: of tight wats. So why would you leak a story
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that makes you look bad, that makes them look they're
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: not really committed to it. Now, Dion's college coaching career,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: if you look at it from thirty thousand feet in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the sky, Dion's college coaching career, the goal was to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: get his kids an opportunity in the NFL. Looks like
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: one of them is definitely going to have a chance,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Shit or Sanders. The other one maybe gets drafted, maybe
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: he's a street free agent, possibly makes a practice squad,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: something like that. But that's where we are. So that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: was the goal right when we started. I'm gonna get
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: my kids to in the NFL. Now that that mission
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: has been accomplished. The eagle has landed. If you will,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he can go now, try Dion to square the circle.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: See if you can square the circle, and see if
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you can work that out.
• 13:06

  Speaker 1: I gave it to Sports with Coleman. But you can decide.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe thought Andy did a better job. He was certainly
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: more vicious than Sports with Coleman. You can comment on

  Speaker 1: those comments from our boxing judges as we go through

  Speaker 1: the hour, but our lead here to begin. Play the Hits,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: mall Man, Play the Hits. Cansa city, the mecca of
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the NFL, the holy line of National Football League action
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: these days at Arrowheads. I was lucky enough to go
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to Arrowhead a few months back, and it was awesome.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not Chiefs fan, but it was a wonderful experience.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So the Chiefs embarking on Saturday, the early TV window,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: They're playing Houston. That is the least attractive matchup this weekend.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs expected to have their way with the Texans.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: We'll see if that actually happens. But the Chiefs embarking
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: on a magic carpet ride that will be historical if
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: they complete the journey here. Many NFL fans and national
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: media types six sick to their stomache over the NonStop
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: success the Chiefs have had. They've played in four of
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the past five Super Bowls and they're on track if
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: they win this year, to be the first team in
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But Chris Collinsworth from and B see, he thinks that's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: only part of the reason that people are tired of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Kansas City. So I don't know if he saw this
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: or hurt it not, but Chris Collinsworth thinking that KC
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: is more hated now because they have converted. They are
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: no longer the sexy offensive team they were with Tyreek
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Hill a couple of years back. Now they are a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: defensive team, and this bothers people now. Speaking to my
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: FSR homeboy Dan Patrick, Chris Collinsworth talked about the Chiefs
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: undergoing a metamorphosis without the Chicha in their lineup over
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years and having success here, saying
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: it's a defensive style. Collinsworth said that rubs people the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: wrong way, so that's the ticket that's what he says.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss Chris Collinsworth implying that fans nationally are
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: sick of the Chiefs because they play defense now and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that's the style of the team. So I asked you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: on the esteem panel, is that how you see it?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I've got three musket teams, turtles, and sasquatch, and we
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: will combine.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: All of these things together and we are going to
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: make a wonderful, wonderful tin of sugar cookies.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I was going through yesterday. I was going through the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: kitchen and I found like two tins of the you
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: know the sugar cookies where they stack them like there's
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: like six on each row or what. I didn't even
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: know they were there. I was like, I found like gold.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. I was like wow. But then I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: realized I don't really eat that much, so I can't
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: really enjoy them. All right, So no, so we'll start.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: We'll start with this year number one and the story
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Chris collins were saying it's because the Chiefs are a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: defensive team. Is that how you see it? The way
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I read the room now, I'm looking at the room differently, right,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: we're looking at it. Maybe my my glass are better
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: than his lastes. Kansas City is a solid defensive team,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: but this is not the two thousand Ravens, the nineteen
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: eighty five Chicago Bears. So let's stop with all that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: rigamor right, Chris Jones, fine defensive players, gonna be in
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame someday. The Chiefs, though this year,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: were eight in total defense. There were seven teams ahead
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of Kansas City and total defense. They were fourth in
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: scoring defense, so they were not in the top three
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: in either of those categories. And then you look at
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: some of the advanced nerd stats, and again the Chiefs
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: were good in most categories in the advanced stats for
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Steve Spagnola, but they weren't the top team unless I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: missed it. I looked through most of the stats that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I have access to from here and from the TV show,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and I didn't see them leading in any of those categories.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: There is something more going on here the defense. And
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: nobody really likes defense that much. People like to talk
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: about how much they love defense, and every once in
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a while some hard ol call a radio show or
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: post something online twe of those trumplions. Ships come down,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: all right, But here's the you know, they hate us
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: because they ain't us. That's part of it, but it's
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: mainly because you can't get away from the chiefs. This
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: is what I hear. This is the feedback I'm getting.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: It's sensory overload, is what it is. It's all of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: your senses. It's touch, it's sight, it's hearing, even smelling, taste,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. Madison Avenue loves putting the spotlight on winners.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I want winners. I want players that want to win
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to sell my products. That's what they say on Madison Avenue.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And if you look at this, the three Musketeers of
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: TV commercials for football consumers are all involved in Kansas City.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You've got Andy Reid, he's not a lot of commercials,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, He's on a ton of different commercials. And
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the King is Travis Kelcey. Mahomes racked in a whopping
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: twenty seven million from endorsements. Now Kelsey makes a bunch
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of money from endorsements. He's also the tabloid king because
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: he's sleeping with the most famous entertainer in the world.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: So he's got that going for him. You cannot turn
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: on any NFL product, meaning a game or talking heads
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: like Benny versus the Penny without seeing some kind of
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: advertisement for one of these guys Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and Taffis Kelsey, so that the defense is one part
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of it. Was like, you're annoy you know, you're in
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: you're jealous because your team sucks, so you're jealous and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you're like, ah, they're on TV all the time. That
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: should be my team. It's annoying you. You've seen them
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: too much. They they won't go away. The same thing
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: happens anytime there's a successful team. Remember the Patriots. People
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: were hating the Patriots when they were in the middle
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of their run. There. Oh this is so borring. Bah
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: bah always happened. It happens in every sport I know. Basketball.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: People were tired of the Golden State Wars, not as
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: much like the Chicago Bulls thing I felt was worse
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: back in the nineties. But that was a long time ago,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: all right. Page two. We head now to the Windy City, Chicago, Illinois.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: That is where Dubb bears on the shores of Lake Michigan.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Their head coaching search said to be a two horse race.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Down the stretch, we come You've got Mike McCarthy, he's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: one horse, he's a Clydesdale, and you have Ben Johnson,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a thoroughbred who has the edge. So this you will
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: not believe your eyes. Yeah yeah, Now, if this was
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: an actual race, like a track and field race, you'd
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: obviously give Ben Johnson the win by a country mile.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That being said McCarthy. As we have pointed out in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: previous episodes, much to the uproar of Bears fans, Mike
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: McCarthy has friends in high places. Think of it like turtles.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I love turtles. It's like the timeless tale of the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: tortoise and Hair. We know how that turned out, right,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: The hair very arrogant and I'm gonna win and all
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: that stuff ends up taking a nap in the middle
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of the race, and the tortoise keeps hustling perseverance and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: ends up winning the race slow and Chubby wins the race.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: The Bears wind and dying. Mike McCarthy, Is that something
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: or nothing? I think it's something. The Bears are very cheap.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: They rolled out the red carpet. They flew them in
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: on a PJ, a private jet. They had an overnight's stay.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: VP actions for Mike McCarthy, that speaks loud to come
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: out to a nice, expensive meal, and this guy can eat.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy can eat, so they took him out to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a nice meal. Now, someone pointed out that NFL rules
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: prohibit other candidates who are currently employed with teams to
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: have in person visits. Nevertheless, the Bears didn't have to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: oblige McCarthy. They could have said, listen, we don't need
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you to come here. Just do a little slight of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: hand doing on the zoom zoom zoom room room and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you're on your way. They didn't do that. Now McCarthy
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: got some FaceTime, very important. Most jobs are given to people.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: You know. He already has friends there, the same agent
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: as the GM, so they just have to hammer things out.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: He got to hang out with important people and try
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to sweet talk them into getting the gig. Little sweet talk.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Well at work, we'll find out in the coming days,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: probably next week, there'll be some more coaches announced or
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, much like Mike Rabol was announced by
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the Patriots on Sunday morning, and likely get another Sunday
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: morning announcement coming up. All right, Finnel point, we now
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: pivot to a crossover story. Crossover story and involves college
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and the NFL, A story that several of you sent
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to me. They're like, well, what would he do? I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: don't understand. So former Texas quarterback, I say former because
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: he's declared for the draft. Quinneers Quen Yours he turned
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: down eight million in nay image likeness nil money before
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: entering the twenty twenty five National Football League Draft, So
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: why would you do that? Why would you turn down
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: that amount of has eight million dollars for one year
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of college football? So my eyes don't deceive. So I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: have to believe that Quinn yours has a problem with Sasquatch.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want to go to the land of Bigfoot.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Now we don't know for sure this is the case,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: but just based on a brief mallor investigation on the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: dark web connecting the dots together, the rumor mill says
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: that the Colorado Buffaloes were not interested. They need a quarterback, right,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: who else? Usual suspects like North Carolina's North Carolina probably
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: not the one that has the most money, Oregon quack
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: quack quack quack, thus Bigfoot, Sasquatch and all that, And
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they were there's supposedly the ones that offered some of
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that Nike money to the Texas quarterback. If true, he
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: decided he would rather take a pay cut than travel
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: down the Oregon Trail, which is rather bizarre. The early
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: scouting report from the NFL circles. I try to keep
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: up on this stuff because I have no life, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I find a lot of it amusing because most of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: it turns out not to be true. But the overall
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: arm talent for mister Quinn is adequate. It does not
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: have and I think we saw this in the the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: meltdown for Texas in the bowl game a few days
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: back here, where he does not have great velocity, does
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: not throw the ball with gusto. And they also say
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: he has pocket panic, lacks the killer instinct. Those are
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: all qualities that get you a nice job selling insurance,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: but not playing quarterback in the NFL. He's also been
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: compared to Andy Dalton and Sam Darnold. Yippie kaye. That's wonderful,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: absolutely great. So let's go out and eat some chocolate
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: truff and we'll celebrate a balloons and some camps. But
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: turned out eight million dollars. That is a mountain of
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: money when you're not guaranteed to make that money back
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and you might not make it at
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: all the NFL, but even if you make it, it's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: gonna take several years to make that kind of money
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: when you consider how much rookies are getting paid.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
• 26:21

  Speaker 1: There we go, or say malor how about that? To
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the third degree, This is one.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Big Ben gets grill.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Broncos co owner and CEO Greg Penner had a press
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: conference on Wednesday where you told the media our absolute
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: goal next year is to win our division. Now, Ben,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: the Chiefs have won the FC West nine years in
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: a row. Do you think Denver can end the streak
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: next season?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Can they? Yes? Will they know? Because the Chiefs will
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: get more players in the offseason until unless Mahomes gets hurt,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win the AFC West for the foreseeable future.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Next Eli Manning has made his prediction for the Super Bowl.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Eli thinks it'll be Bills versus Lions, with the Lions
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: coming out victorious for their first ever championship. Ben, what
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: do you think about this? Prediction.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I think that he is going to be proven incorrect.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: The Bills and Lions will not be meeting in the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and predictions are like they're like armpits. Everyone's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: got two of them and most of them stink. All right,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: what's next and what some consider to be a surprise move? Quinn?
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Youers desclared for the NFL Draft on Wednesday. Scouts have
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: great on yours, ranging from the second to fourth round. Ben,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: it's not exactly a loaded quarterback class this year. Do
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: you think a team will reach for yours?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: So I have determined over the years, Coop, it's all
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: about the marketing. Like Baker Mayfield was not supposed to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: be drafted at the top of the draft. He was
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: alligator Arms, Murray, these guys get hyped up and it's
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: all about the marketing. So I don't know who his
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: agent is, Quinn ears, but if he has the proper agent,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: absolutely he can be drafted higher than he should be.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: How did we know you passed? A change your mind?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: No give backs, no give backs, all sales final.

  Speaker 3: Oh?

• 29:33
  Speaker 1: instead of six. George and George and Uvaldi, Texas sent
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: that one in. Why don't we see Lizzo as much
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: as we used to?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Well, because she's not round anymore. How did Lizzo know
