Speaker 1: of everyday acts of support that help people achieve their
3:07
Speaker 1: goals with iconic brands like Cents of Nine, Toms, voltairean Adville,
3:12
Speaker 1: and sendrum to learn more, not to HALion assist dot com.
3:17
Speaker 1: We'll help you. Had a great weekend, We are back
3:19
Speaker 1: at it again here all week no days off. If
3:22
Speaker 1: you heard the podcast this weekend, you got a brief
3:25
Speaker 1: preview of coming attractions. But enough of that, it's get
3:28
Speaker 1: right into it. Don't waste any time, Do not waste
3:33
Speaker 1: any time. So our lead this hour from Jerry's World.
3:37
Speaker 1: That's where're going to start the Dallas Divas in Action
3:42
Speaker 1: hosting the Purple People Eaters. And I mean lying if
3:46
Speaker 1: I said the game had any juice. There was really
3:47
Speaker 1: no juice in the game other than the fact that
3:51
Speaker 1: you just put the Cowboys on TV. They could be
3:53
Speaker 1: peeling oranges and people would watch. They could be chopping
3:57
Speaker 1: up onions like a line cook and just people would
4:02
Speaker 1: be watching. It didn't matter. So he had Chris Collinsworth
4:05
Speaker 1: and Mike Tarrico an Island game. They had the call
4:09
Speaker 1: on the peacock there and b se. So I don't
4:12
Speaker 1: know if you watched it or not. Maybe you were
4:13
Speaker 1: not watching. You were burned out from the other events
4:16
Speaker 1: of the day and you did not watch that. We
4:19
Speaker 1: are somewhat, I don't know, directly paid to watch, but
4:21
Speaker 1: if we don't watch it, kind of what are we doing.
4:24
Speaker 1: So we watched and Red Shirt rookie JJ McCarthy looking
4:30
Speaker 1: like he actually kind of knew what he was doing
4:31
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's not get crazy though. He threw
4:34
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, he ran for a score and
4:36
Speaker 1: the great CJ. Ham just in time for the Christmas holiday. CJ.
4:41
Speaker 1: Ham had the go ahead touchdown on his first carry
4:47
Speaker 1: of the season. That's good efficiency there. And the Minnesota
4:51
Speaker 1: Vikings put a giant dent in the Jerry Mobile Jerry
4:55
Speaker 1: Jones playoff hopes there with a thirty four to twenty
4:58
Speaker 1: six victory over the one proud Dallas Cowboys. They say
5:01
Speaker 1: once proud. That was back thirty years ago. They really
5:04
Speaker 1: haven't been proud since then. The Vikings get to their
5:07
Speaker 1: six wins, their six and eight sub five hundred. They
5:10
Speaker 1: win their second consecutive game, and they were eliminated, see
5:14
Speaker 1: you later, Bye bye, nada na na, hey hey, good bye.
5:18
Speaker 1: Eliminated from postseason consideration before the kickoff of this game.
5:23
Speaker 1: But they didn't have a pity party. They didn't say,
5:25
Speaker 1: oh woe is me, We've been eliminated. And they went
5:28
Speaker 1: out there, they played that game. They played the game,
5:31
Speaker 1: and they ended up well winning but still losing in
5:36
Speaker 1: the end. So Minnesota was a fourteen win team a
5:39
Speaker 1: year ago, and now they do not qualify for the postseason.
5:44
Speaker 1: Now the Cowboys six seven and one, they have to win.
5:50
Speaker 1: Check this out. You want to just eliminate the Cowboys
5:53
Speaker 1: for God's sake, This is what the Cowboys have. So
5:56
Speaker 1: in order for them to make the playoffs, they have
5:58
Speaker 1: to win their three remaining games and then in addition,
6:02
Speaker 1: but wait, there's more. They need the Philadelphia Eagles to
6:06
Speaker 1: lose all three of their games in order for Dallas
6:10
Speaker 1: to overtake the Eagles in the NFC East Philly. Mind you,
6:13
Speaker 1: they do play Buffalo, However, the other two games are
6:16
Speaker 1: against the Washington Commanders. Hello, yeah, so good luck on that.
6:23
Speaker 1: Here is the owner and he's the GM. You like
6:26
Speaker 1: the team so much you bought it. Here is Jerry
6:29
Speaker 1: Jones commenting on another lost Cowboys season.
6:33
Speaker 2: Takea was We certainly didn't think we'd be here in
6:36
Speaker 2: this kind of shape with three games to go and
6:39
Speaker 2: help be behind the eight ball the way we are,
6:41
Speaker 2: it's very disappointing. I'm really obviously very disappointed for our fans.
6:46
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed for these players. I didn't expect that. I
6:50
Speaker 2: thought we could come out here and on both sides
6:52
Speaker 2: of the ball make a better accounting of our South
6:56
Speaker 2: Minnesota did the best job out there today on both
6:59
Speaker 2: sides of Well.
7:00
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me translate that for those of you
7:03
Speaker 1: who are a little slow. That's Jerry's way of saying
7:05
Speaker 1: we blow. That's his way of saying that. So that
7:09
Speaker 1: is a good starting point to this, And I think
7:13
Speaker 1: the jumping off point would be George Pickens because that's
7:17
Speaker 1: the subplot to this. George Pickens was there, he played
7:21
Speaker 1: and did next to nothing. And this continues a recent
7:25
Speaker 1: theme for George Pickens as the Cowboys wide receiver who
7:30
Speaker 1: was the toast of the town a little while back,
7:33
Speaker 1: but not anymore. So let us discuss the question is this,
7:37
Speaker 1: how does this performance change things for the Cowboys wide
7:41
Speaker 1: receiver George Pickens going forward? So I got Warren Buffett,
7:45
Speaker 1: tea spoon, and wagon wheel, and we will combine all
7:51
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
7:55
Speaker 1: some delicious cornbread. Is what we're going to make with
7:58
Speaker 1: the proper amount of a nice warm butter on top.
8:02
Speaker 1: That sounds like a delicious meal to me. Well, not
8:04
Speaker 1: a meal. It's a corn bread. It's not a meal,
8:06
Speaker 1: but it's in addition to a meal. It's an add on.
8:09
Speaker 1: It enhances the dining experience, properly made cornbread. So the
8:15
Speaker 1: way we'll start, and obviously this changes things. It continues
8:19
Speaker 1: to change things big time, big, big, big time for
8:24
Speaker 1: a few weeks. For a few weeks, George Pickens was,
8:30
Speaker 1: I guess I imposter syndrome. Is that the way you
8:33
Speaker 1: discover he was playing like a legitimate number one wide receiver,
8:36
Speaker 1: number one in the entire NFL. There and Jerry Jones
8:39
Speaker 1: was out on his radio shows every week, very braggadocious.
8:43
Speaker 1: Jerry was celebrating how good George Pickens was and really,
8:48
Speaker 1: you know, congratulating himself in many ways for making the
8:50
Speaker 1: deal to acquire George Pickens. Many Cowboy fans they're not
8:53
Speaker 1: that bright. I can't believe. How do we get this
8:55
Speaker 1: guy for a couple of late traffers. I don't understand. Well,
8:59
Speaker 1: now you're stand dummy. Now you get it, dummy. That's
9:02
Speaker 1: why he was available, George Pickens. That's exactly why George Pickens.
9:07
Speaker 1: You could have gotten him for a cup of sand,
9:10
Speaker 1: which is what the cowboys gave up to get George Pickens.
9:13
Speaker 1: This is it, you know, bragging and all that stuff.
9:16
Speaker 1: He pulled his shoulder muscle, Jerry Jones did, patting himself
9:20
Speaker 1: on the back. He was so proud of himself. Full
9:23
Speaker 1: on navel gazing from Jerry Jones. And now fast forward
9:27
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and all of a sudden, the
9:29
Speaker 1: costume is off. And as Warren Buffett famously said, back
9:33
Speaker 1: in the day, when the tide goes out, you see
9:35
Speaker 1: who's swimming naked, And we now know, we now know
9:39
Speaker 1: that's Pickts and Stark naked there in Jerry Jones on
9:44
Speaker 1: the shoreline, right there in Jerry's world, and Mike Tomlin
9:48
Speaker 1: somewhere in the Greater Pittsburgh area, yet again taking a
9:52
Speaker 1: victory lap for the pitt sparg Steelers. There they play
9:56
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football against the Miami Dolphins, and Tomlin
9:59
Speaker 1: doing a victory lap. They're sticking his tongue out and
10:02
Speaker 1: going no, no, no, no, boo boo, just like that.
10:05
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he's doing. And all the other haters
10:07
Speaker 1: there told you so. The last three games, George Pickens
10:12
Speaker 1: has caught fifty percent of his passes, just fourteen catches
10:16
Speaker 1: in three games, one hundred and fifty eight yards, no touchdowns,
10:19
Speaker 1: and has gotten worse by the week. If you look
10:22
Speaker 1: at the diagram, down down down, down, down down down,
10:25
Speaker 1: just like that, just like that, and not a weapon,
10:29
Speaker 1: not a weapon, doing little cardio. I haven't get my
10:32
Speaker 1: workout in it's on television. Do a little cardio. And
10:36
Speaker 1: not even a decoy. He's not even involved enough as
10:41
Speaker 1: a decoy. He's not that. At this point. George Pickens
10:45
Speaker 1: is a ship. He's a ghost ship, is what he is.
10:48
Speaker 1: An empty vessel, just kind of drifting aimlessly on the
10:53
Speaker 1: Jerry World Sea and just kind of floating along there. Now,
10:56
Speaker 1: the bottom line, he's not in the bubble of trust.
10:59
Speaker 1: Can not be in the bubble of trust, not even close.
11:03
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're the Cowboys and Jerry Jones,
11:07
Speaker 1: he runs the show. It's his world, as we all know,
11:09
Speaker 1: it's his world. So Jerry Jones, you can't you can't
11:12
Speaker 1: extend this guy, You can't trust him. Cannot do it.
11:16
Speaker 3: Now.
11:16
Speaker 1: You give him a one year deal or something like that,
11:18
Speaker 1: but any more than that, forget about it. Forget about it.
11:21
Speaker 1: Are now on the Minnesota side of things. The question,
11:26
Speaker 1: and it's a burning question, did quarterback JJ McCarthy play
11:32
Speaker 1: his way out of the Vikings Dungeon? Did he play
11:37
Speaker 1: out of the Vikings Dungeon? That's the question. So I
11:40
Speaker 1: would say not quite is the way I would approach that,
11:44
Speaker 1: because he's got one foot out of the cell JJ
11:47
Speaker 1: McCarthy at this point. The rest of his body, though,
11:50
Speaker 1: is still chained to the wall on the brig. If
11:53
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you feel me on that?
11:55
Speaker 1: All right? So the good news is, and I will
11:58
Speaker 1: be Benny Brightside, great listeners in the Twin Cities. I
12:01
Speaker 1: would you have any right side here that if you
12:04
Speaker 1: look at this JJ McCarthy's his Viking ship the ship
12:09
Speaker 1: ain't be sinking at this moment. It's not sinking. The
12:13
Speaker 1: bad news. See, that's the good news. The ship is
12:15
Speaker 1: not sinking. The bad news is there's still bailing water
12:19
Speaker 1: out and all they have is a tea spoon. And
12:21
Speaker 1: so it's the odds are not good. The odds are
12:24
Speaker 1: not good here and McCarthy finally showing a bit of
12:27
Speaker 1: a pulse. We thought he was completely gone, completely gone.
12:31
Speaker 1: That not the case. There was. There's a bit of
12:33
Speaker 1: a flicker. Do we go full spark? I don't know
12:36
Speaker 1: that we want to go full spark. I'm not ready
12:38
Speaker 1: to go full spark. I can't go full spark. Not
12:40
Speaker 1: gonna go full spark. Will not do full spark, Not
12:42
Speaker 1: gonna happen, not full spark. Sorry no. And here's the
12:47
Speaker 1: he's he's drifting out McCarthy of the Purple Haze, like
12:52
Speaker 1: a groggy boxer making it to his knees in that
12:56
Speaker 1: scene in every boxing movie, we make it to your
12:59
Speaker 1: knees and write for the ten count, and the referees
13:02
Speaker 1: all sweaty and leans in to count you out, and
13:05
Speaker 1: then you kind of get up a little bit. That's
13:06
Speaker 1: McCarthy at this point. However, let's not throw a parade
13:11
Speaker 1: right in front of hollering James Group home in the
13:14
Speaker 1: Greater Minneapolis area there because this came against the last
13:19
Speaker 1: couple of games commanders who really looked spent. I mean
13:24
Speaker 1: they just looked the bad anyway, And they played an
13:26
Speaker 1: overtime game of the Broncos the week prior, and then
13:28
Speaker 1: this Cowboy team a couple of defenses. If you were
13:31
Speaker 1: to say, what is the the toughness level of the
13:34
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense and the Commander's defense, it's very similar to coolwip.
13:38
Speaker 1: If you've ever tried to stop a train with cool
13:41
Speaker 1: whip it you need a lot of coolhip to stop
13:43
Speaker 1: the train, like a ton of cool web. It's a problem.
13:50
Speaker 1: It is. So anyways, and there's there's still some warning
13:54
Speaker 1: flares out there, several of them for JJ McCarthy here
13:58
Speaker 1: that are shining shooting off into the night sky and
14:01
Speaker 1: you're like, well, what's going on with that McCarthy. And
14:03
Speaker 1: the big one for me is you have the top
14:05
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the game. You all told me that
14:10
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy gets to throw the ball to Justin Jefferson.
14:13
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's a total stud. He's being paid
14:16
Speaker 1: like a total stud and yet they're speaking different languages.
14:20
Speaker 1: Someone needs to get them a Rosetta stone because it's
14:25
Speaker 1: not good. Mister wonderful, I mean justin Jefferson had two
14:30
Speaker 1: catches for eight on two keys on eight targets. He
14:33
Speaker 1: had twenty two yards but eight targets. That means six
14:37
Speaker 1: of the targets did not connect if my mal or
14:39
Speaker 1: math is correct on that, which is essentially the witness
14:43
Speaker 1: protection level witness protection level statline. The Vikings went two
14:47
Speaker 1: for nine on third down. Kevin O'Connell treated the passing
14:52
Speaker 1: game like it was radioactive for the Vikings only twenty
14:55
Speaker 1: four pass attempts. That's it, and it worked a full
14:59
Speaker 1: game in modern in NFL football, will you play hide
15:02
Speaker 1: and seek with your quarterback? You know what? That reminds
15:03
Speaker 1: me of Jim Harball when he was coaching at Michigan,
15:07
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, it's progress. For JJ McCarthy, it is progress,
15:12
Speaker 1: but it's baby steps in mid December, which is kind
15:16
Speaker 1: of like learning to crawl during a marathon, Like that's
15:21
Speaker 1: usually not how that goes. You're not supposed to be
15:24
Speaker 1: doing that, but here we are, and so's it's desperation.
15:28
Speaker 1: They got to find a lot from McCarthy the next
15:30
Speaker 1: few weeks, or they're going to go back to market,
15:33
Speaker 1: they being the Vikings, and try to get somebody else
15:35
Speaker 1: in there. And so it's not really growth, it's just
15:37
Speaker 1: there's something else going on there. And the dungeon door
15:40
Speaker 1: is cracked, as we said, for McCarthy, and you know,
15:45
Speaker 1: he's still kind of hearing the jailer's keys jinglin a
15:49
Speaker 1: little bit there on the side, and it's not great.
15:52
Speaker 1: All right now, last word, let's just get right to
15:55
Speaker 1: the story of the weekend. If there's one word that
15:59
Speaker 1: would sum up the Sunday in the NFL, it would
16:02
Speaker 1: be the I word, as in injury, Yes, injury and
16:09
Speaker 1: the man alive. What a hot mess that was the
16:12
Speaker 1: Three Musketeers. He had quarterback Patrick Mahomes the snap suffered
16:17
Speaker 1: a torn acl and that's it. That's all she wrote.
16:21
Speaker 1: He's out for the year. Only a few weeks. Togo
16:23
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been eliminated. The Green Bay Packers lost star
16:26
Speaker 1: edge rusher Micah Parsons shortly after Mahomes went down. Parsons
16:31
Speaker 1: went down. That's the crackle. NFL's highest paid non quarterback,
16:35
Speaker 1: highest paid defensive player in the NFL he tore his
16:38
Speaker 1: ACL he's out for the year. And wide receiver Davonte Adams.
16:42
Speaker 1: The hammy went whammy for the Rams, although the injury
16:48
Speaker 1: report not as bad as the other two. Here the
16:50
Speaker 1: Hollywood style kind of like NFL injury. In Hollywood, they
16:53
Speaker 1: say celebrity DEAs. Rule of three is the theme there.
16:58
Speaker 1: One star dies, two more ten to follow and that's
17:02
Speaker 1: how the common wisdom goes. Apparently with NFL injuries it's
17:06
Speaker 1: a similar thing. So the question of the three, you've
17:11
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes, Michael Parsons and Davonte Adams, three big names,
17:17
Speaker 1: household names in the NFL, if you care about football,
17:20
Speaker 1: all hurt which one is the biggest? So I preface
17:25
Speaker 1: this for Terry and England. We do not do lists.
17:28
Speaker 1: We do not believe in list on this show, as
17:30
Speaker 1: Terry knows, and he's the gatekeeper of that. We don't
17:34
Speaker 1: do list. But on Big Ben's Big Board, which is
17:37
Speaker 1: not a list, as Shanon de Moine knows, not a list.
17:40
Speaker 1: But on Big Ben's Big Board, here's how it shakes out.
17:43
Speaker 1: So at number three, DeVante Adams coming in at number
17:48
Speaker 1: three here, and we mentioned the hammy went whammy for
17:52
Speaker 1: Devonte Adams. But it's not a season ending injury, at
17:55
Speaker 1: least not at this point. So they'll attempt, the Rams
17:58
Speaker 1: to rub some dirt on it. They'll try to rub
18:01
Speaker 1: some dirt on it, and then they'll duct tape the
18:05
Speaker 1: hammy and then after that they'll put some icy hot
18:08
Speaker 1: on it, give it a couple of advil, and then
18:12
Speaker 1: call it aday, call it a day after that. So
18:15
Speaker 1: that's the plan there. It is code read for the Rams.
18:18
Speaker 1: They going to Seattle, and that's a very beatable team
18:20
Speaker 1: with Seattle. How embarrassing was that Seattle needing a late
18:23
Speaker 1: field goal to beat Grandpa at quarterback? Holy crap. Seattle's
18:27
Speaker 1: worse than I thought. By the way, if they had
18:28
Speaker 1: to they need a field goal, their top three defensive
18:31
Speaker 1: guys were out and they had forty four year old
18:35
Speaker 1: The Colts had forty four year old mister Rivers out
18:40
Speaker 1: there and they still had to lead in the final second. Unbelievable.
18:43
Speaker 1: How bad is that Seattle team is? But anyway, the
18:46
Speaker 1: Rams going to Seattle, and the secret weapon for the
18:49
Speaker 1: Rams this year has been in the red zone. Devonte
18:51
Speaker 1: Adams has been the man, the myth, the legend, and
18:56
Speaker 1: so now more pressure on Puka Nukua to get her
18:59
Speaker 1: done there. They still have a bunch of torpedoes, the rams,
19:01
Speaker 1: so they should be all right. At number two, Patrick mahomey,
19:06
Speaker 1: have we done a wellness check on keg our keg
19:08
Speaker 1: drinking friend in Kansas City? No? So, Patrick Mahomes tore
19:12
Speaker 1: to acl season cooked burnt toast for Kansas City. The
19:18
Speaker 1: Chiefs were already moving like the drunk uncle at the
19:22
Speaker 1: wedding and Patrick Mahomes sending the season to the well.
19:28
Speaker 1: He was out by the time the season ended, but
19:29
Speaker 1: they weren't winning that game anyway. So Patrick Mahomes there
19:34
Speaker 1: will spend his off season getting a lot of quality
19:37
Speaker 1: time with rehab clinics in Kansas City and wherever he
19:41
Speaker 1: travels to and all that, and they'll stitch him back
19:43
Speaker 1: together and they'll give him some terminator parts and some
19:46
Speaker 1: wizard dust and he'll be back and we'll likely miss
19:49
Speaker 1: half of next season. Though this is gonna spill over
19:52
Speaker 1: based on what I've been hearing, this is gonna spill over.
19:54
Speaker 1: Just on timeline, Mahomes will not be ready to go
19:56
Speaker 1: next September when the NFL season kicks off. At Mahomes
20:00
Speaker 1: Magic that hocus pocus, the abra cadabra uh temporarily unplugged.
20:07
Speaker 1: And again that leaves us with number one. That would
20:11
Speaker 1: be Micah Parsons and Michael Parsons. That injury, and I
20:15
Speaker 1: don't want to be too dramatic. That is a kick
20:18
Speaker 1: to the testicles for the green Bay Packers. Uh it is.
20:21
Speaker 1: That's a right to the cheese kurds for green Bay.
20:24
Speaker 1: They went out of character. They went out of character.
20:28
Speaker 1: Green Bay. They decide we're gonna do somebody almost never do.
20:31
Speaker 1: We're gonna go all in this season. We're gonna trade
20:33
Speaker 1: some draft picks, and we're gonna get the player and
20:35
Speaker 1: pay him the highest contract ever given to a defensive player.
20:40
Speaker 1: Michah Parsons, you shot, You shoot your shot. They shot
20:43
Speaker 1: their shot there, and they put Micah Parsons right in
20:46
Speaker 1: the center of the wagon wheel, right there in the middle,
20:50
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the wagon wheel. And now
20:53
Speaker 1: the wagon wheel is sinking in the quicksand outside Sherboygan.
20:56
Speaker 1: It's not it's not going very well at this point.
20:59
Speaker 1: So the whole advantage that you had where you all
21:02
Speaker 1: love to brag to me when Parsons would have a
21:04
Speaker 1: bad game, I would point that out, and the Packer
21:07
Speaker 1: stockholders would get very upset with me, and they said, well,
21:10
Speaker 1: you know it's because he's getting double teamed. Okay, well
21:13
Speaker 1: you know I have to worry about that. No more
21:14
Speaker 1: double teams, no more fear, no more chaos on that
21:17
Speaker 1: side there, that's all down the drain there, Michael Parsons,
21:20
Speaker 1: he's out, and a year of Parsons prime, a year
21:23
Speaker 1: of his prime wasted. And it's also a dead giveaway
21:28
Speaker 1: that this is an indictment on Jordan Love, that Jordan
21:32
Speaker 1: Love is simply not good enough. That that's really the lesson.
21:36
Speaker 1: Based on what I've been hearing from the Packer stockholders
21:40
Speaker 1: out there, they're like, we're cooked. Now, if you had
21:43
Speaker 1: a truly great quarterback, you could make up for that.
21:47
Speaker 1: You could Jordan Love could play out of his mind
21:49
Speaker 1: bonkers football for a month and could win a championship.
21:53
Speaker 1: And as he showed late against the Denver Broncos, he's
21:57
Speaker 1: not that guy. You're not that guy, pal, You're not
21:59
Speaker 1: that guy. And he can't carry the team. And so
22:02
Speaker 1: really the Packers are they're double cooked because now on
22:06
Speaker 1: the Parson is going to be out. Also part of
22:07
Speaker 1: next year, you also got a quarterback and you've given
22:10
Speaker 1: a decent amount of money to who's not an alpha,
22:13
Speaker 1: he's an omega. That's problematic. And so as for the
22:18
Speaker 1: people claiming it's not fair, oh my god, it's not fair.
22:22
Speaker 1: Stop star power. It happens, Guys get hurt. This is
22:26
Speaker 1: why it's not flag football. Even though the NFL would
22:29
Speaker 1: love for this to be flag football. People get hurt
22:31
Speaker 1: in that anyway. The NFL regular season, again, this is
22:34
Speaker 1: the way I was taught. Oh, you're old, malor it was.
22:38
Speaker 1: It was, hey, a war of attrition, Like, you play
22:40
Speaker 1: the regular season with integrity, you play it to your fullestability.
22:44
Speaker 1: And then oftentimes the team that wins the championship is
22:47
Speaker 1: the one that has the fewest injuries. And so that's
22:51
Speaker 1: really what this is. Green Bay is not going to
22:54
Speaker 1: be that team. They're not. It sucks Rocks. I mean,
22:56
Speaker 1: there's no question it sucks Rocks and all that. You're
22:59
Speaker 1: not dealing with robots, even robots would get hurt. You're
23:02
Speaker 1: dealing with plausibly human beings, and so there's no load management.
23:06
Speaker 1: If it's with the NBA, then Michael Parsons wouldn't have played.
23:10
Speaker 1: He would have just waited to the playoffs because that's
23:11
Speaker 1: what NBA ballers do, right then, don't want to play.
23:14
Speaker 1: God forbid we play, we might hurt ourselves. So that's
23:17
Speaker 1: not yet fully the mindset in the NFL, and I'm
23:20
Speaker 1: happy about that. If you'd like to be part eight

25:30
Speaker 1: Steve is more into tabloids and the chiefs. That is true, actually, Yeah,
25:35
Speaker 1: that is true, keg drinking Steve. I have noticed that
25:38
Speaker 1: since the Chiefs started getting mediocre this year, he's been
25:41
Speaker 1: more worried about what People Magazine and US Weekly and
25:45
Speaker 1: The New York Post have been saying about Travis Kelsey.
25:49
Speaker 1: He says, with Kansas City out of the playoffs, pressure
25:51
Speaker 1: is now on Buffalo to make the Super Bowl this year.
25:53
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, David writes and says Superman Josh Allen
25:57
Speaker 1: continues to showcase his amazing tools have made him a
26:00
Speaker 1: great quarterback. Sounds like he's written by Ai. Buffalo just
26:04
Speaker 1: needed a stout defense to be truly dangerous, just needs
26:08
Speaker 1: a stout defense. Well, they don't have that. So what
26:10
Speaker 1: they do have is they don't have to play Joe Burrow.
26:13
Speaker 1: They don't have to play Patrick Mahomes, and it would
26:16
Speaker 1: appear barring. We'll see what happens here last couple weeks.
26:19
Speaker 1: There's a good chance that the Ravens on they went
26:21
Speaker 1: big on Sunday against the Bengals, the Ravens don't make
26:24
Speaker 1: the playoffs see King Rory Rights Since says, even though
26:26
Speaker 1: the injury bug helped the Broncos beat the Packers, I
26:30
Speaker 1: am not too concerned. For them. The Packers will still
26:35
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and can only pray that momentum can
26:40
Speaker 1: become a real thing if they want to go on
26:43
Speaker 1: a long playoff run. Yeah, well again, King Roy, you
26:46
Speaker 1: know my position. I'm momentum. You're trying to trigger me.
26:48
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fall for the trig. It's not gonna happen.
26:52
Speaker 1: So deal with that bagel boy right since its excellent monologue. However,
26:56
Speaker 1: the Patriots not done yet. Bro Okay, I didn't Did
27:03
Speaker 1: I say the Patriots were done? I don't know. I
27:04
Speaker 1: said that Patriots were done. I said that it's not
27:08
Speaker 1: a great performance when you blow a twenty one to
27:10
Speaker 1: nothing lead. Terry in England writes and says, good to
27:13
Speaker 1: hear you and the holiday spirit bend prepping the list?

27:31
Speaker 1: remember you want me to do that podcast? Alf loses
27:34
Speaker 1: his mind because they do that podcast every year. The
27:37
Speaker 1: sign your talk show host is lazy when they do
27:41
Speaker 1: when they do all those toffs, it's uh yeah, listen.
27:44
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that do radio because it's
27:46
Speaker 1: easy and you know, you don't have to put a
27:47
Speaker 1: lot of work into it. And they're exposed every holiday
27:50
Speaker 1: season when they do the same evergreen topics because they
27:53
Speaker 1: don't want to do any preparations, so they just go
27:55
Speaker 1: in there say all right, let's let's see who inviting
27:57
Speaker 1: to Christmas dinner, who's been naughty, who's been and all
28:01
Speaker 1: that fine stuff. Big Rig Rob writes in from the
28:03
Speaker 1: Great Pacific Northwest. He says the shot in Freude has
28:07
Speaker 1: reached the ultimate high. As the chiefs de nasty Croaks.
28:12
Speaker 1: The raiders failed to break one hundred yards of total
28:15
Speaker 1: offense and almost a trifecta with a narrow escape by
28:20
Speaker 1: the the she Hacks against the old man Rivers. I
28:25
Speaker 1: got work at four am, but I had to hear
28:27
Speaker 1: the A plus Mallard monologue. Well we thank you, big
28:29
Speaker 1: rig Rob. Go to get a little nap in there
28:32
Speaker 1: before you have to get to work. Mikey Cano, don't
28:35
Speaker 1: you know, says we were only down by thirty one
28:38
Speaker 1: Mather we ran out of time seven oh two mafia.
28:43
Speaker 1: I saw Pete Carroll, and I like Pete. I like Pete,
28:48
Speaker 1: that's a tough hill to die on. As Pete got
28:50
Speaker 1: on the microphone and was talking about how hard the
28:53
Speaker 1: Raiders played, did Pete watch the game? What was he
28:59
Speaker 1: doing during the game? What was doing? Now? You said
29:02
Speaker 1: how the Raiders suck and they had Kenny Pickett? And
29:06
Speaker 1: that is true. It is my belief that the margin
29:11
Speaker 1: between the top team in the NFL and whoever you
29:14
Speaker 1: think the worst team, maybe that is the Raiders. Who
29:16
Speaker 1: do you think the worst team is in the end
29:17
Speaker 1: right now is the Giants? Is not that big where
29:21
Speaker 1: one team should have twenty more first downs and one
29:24
Speaker 1: team should have three hundred more yards passing. This is
29:28
Speaker 1: like a D one football team versus a triple A team.
29:33
Speaker 1: Is ridiculous, absolutely embarrassing, Like did they even practice there?
29:39
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett average two point six yards per pass? The
29:43
Speaker 1: greatness of the Raiders. Let's go to the phones and
29:46
Speaker 1: we'll say hello to Let's start out with the great
29:48
Speaker 1: Danny DeVito, America's favorite trash man in the greater Boston area.
29:52
Speaker 1: Did he win money or lose money this week? Let's
29:54
Speaker 1: find out right now. Hello Danny, welcome Ben.
29:57
Speaker 3: Now what's going on? It was a good week? It
29:59
Speaker 3: was the great week every time. You wouldn't money it's
30:02
Speaker 3: a good week, as.
30:03
Speaker 1: You know, Yes it is. Yes, it is not a
30:05
Speaker 1: great week for me. There are a couple of games
30:07
Speaker 1: that flipped that did not go well. I lost the Lions.
30:10
Speaker 1: I took the Lions plus the points I was getting six.
30:13
Speaker 1: They lost by seven. That one stung a little bit.
30:15
Speaker 1: But you know, watch that on Benny Versus the Penny
30:17
Speaker 1: on YouTube. But it was not a not a great week.
30:20
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers had a huge lead. They gave
30:22
Speaker 1: up a garbage time score to the Titans, so that
30:25
Speaker 1: one stung.
30:25
Speaker 3: Also, Oh they did. I didn't know.
30:28
Speaker 1: I was.
30:29
Speaker 3: I thought watching that, I thought it was all over.
30:31
Speaker 1: Well it was. It was well I was thirteen, I
30:35
Speaker 1: was thirteen and a half. Right, that was the line.
30:37
Speaker 1: I believe it was thirt.
30:38
Speaker 3: The heavy stay spread.
30:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, they then I was one by thirteen. Then I
30:43
Speaker 1: was won by thirteen. So they and they were, they
30:45
Speaker 1: were up thirty seven to seventeen. I believe it wasn't long.
30:50
Speaker 3: Their doors offul good portion of that game and they
30:53
Speaker 3: started pull away. And how about the pay shoots. Ben,
30:57
Speaker 3: you're up by twenty one at home, you have tows
31:00
Speaker 3: that game. I know shosh Allen, he's he's a guy
31:02
Speaker 3: in the regular season that goes crazy. He's not so
31:05
Speaker 3: good in the playoffs. But and you know, you have
31:07
Speaker 3: to close it out. You're up by twenty one points
31:09
Speaker 3: and they blow that game. I almost set the Patriots,
31:13
Speaker 3: and I changed my mind on that. I took the
31:15
Speaker 3: total in that game, so I saved money there. I
31:18
Speaker 3: took the OVA.
31:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's another game. And on Benny versus the penny,
31:23
Speaker 1: I took the Patriots. I thought all right at home
31:25
Speaker 1: and Buffaloes had issues on the road, divisional game, all
31:28
Speaker 1: that stuff, and when they were up twenty one nothing,
31:31
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm in really good shape. But
31:33
Speaker 1: I know anytime I'm about you know, when you're up early, Danny,
31:36
Speaker 1: you're waiting for something's gonna fall apart. You know, something's
31:38
Speaker 1: gonna Know if you if you're doing very well in
31:40
Speaker 1: the first half of all those early games, you're just
31:43
Speaker 1: waiting for the avalanche. Oh yeah, oh yeah, one hundred percent.
31:47
Speaker 3: You know.
31:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could be winning every game and you know
31:49
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose at least two or three of them.
31:50
Speaker 1: You know that's gonna happ.
31:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, always happens. Yeah, what you know, how about Philip Rivers? Ben,
31:57
Speaker 3: how about having this guy throw the ball? I had
31:59
Speaker 3: to total in that game, and I knew after the
32:01
Speaker 3: first quarter it was gonna happen have him throw the
32:04
Speaker 3: ball least.
32:05
Speaker 1: Well, you you you thought they were gonna throw the ball.
32:08
Speaker 1: Why would you think they were gonna throw the ball?
32:10
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I mean you're bringing a guy like that.
32:14
Speaker 3: I know he's he's the old man now calls leave.
32:16
Speaker 3: But he can't throw, he can't run, he can't move,
32:19
Speaker 3: but he can.
32:19
Speaker 1: Still well he definitely he can't move. Uh but you know,
32:22
Speaker 1: you had to think going in they were just gonna
32:24
Speaker 1: run the ball and occasionally throw on third and long
32:27
Speaker 1: and things like that. And they they didn't throw past
32:30
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmers, did they. I didn't see him
32:33
Speaker 1: when I was watching.
32:34
Speaker 3: No, he only had a couple of throws that are
32:36
Speaker 3: like twenty yards and more.
32:38
Speaker 1: Talk and he's still he always had this with the Chargers,
32:41
Speaker 1: but that hurky jerky kind of delivery, and it's it's
32:44
Speaker 1: not yeah.
32:45
Speaker 3: He still has that. Yeah, he still has that. And
32:47
Speaker 3: then uh, Ben, how about you know there's some real
32:50
Speaker 3: bad teams guys already mentioned won the Raiders. What are
32:53
Speaker 3: these teams gonna do? The Raiders, the Jets, I mean,
32:56
Speaker 3: they getting blow mcconnells. These team's just getting blown out
33:00
Speaker 3: of the water right in the first quarter. It's all over.
33:02
Speaker 3: They can't even hang with these teams and the spreads,
33:05
Speaker 3: so you know, they're so heavy, I know, I know, well,
33:09
Speaker 3: you know.
33:09
Speaker 1: It shows you who's got pride in performance and who doesn't.
33:12
Speaker 1: The teams, you know, Cardinals are quitters, the Raiders are quitters.
33:15
Speaker 1: They're gutless. That's what that is. I mean, and really
33:18
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to you. And whether they
33:20
Speaker 1: want to admit it or not, you should never get
33:23
Speaker 1: blown out like this. It just shows you that the
33:26
Speaker 1: whole operation is fundamentally broken in Vegas. Tom Brady a
33:31
Speaker 1: disaster as an owner. He's the he's the guy calling
33:34
Speaker 1: the shots there. That's it's a Bengals quit against Baltimore.
33:38
Speaker 1: Let's call that. When they call them out to the Bengals,
33:41
Speaker 1: they didn't show up. So hell, this is the time
33:45
Speaker 1: of the year, Danny, that the teams that the guys
33:47
Speaker 1: that want to compete and put a little fight into it.
33:49
Speaker 1: And I'll give that. Minnesota as a team that's going nowhere,
33:52
Speaker 1: but they put some fight into it and they competed.
33:56
Speaker 1: New Orleans is a crappy team, but they were at home.
33:59
Speaker 1: They competed in their game. They gave it a shot
34:02
Speaker 1: and uh and then a bunch of these Jets gave up.
34:05
Speaker 1: They suck they didn't try.
34:07
Speaker 3: Oh brutal, you know, I give you a credit. So
34:10
Speaker 3: I don't care anybody trashing Brady about the team.
34:13
Speaker 1: Man, nothing, well, because you can't. You can't, man, you
34:16
Speaker 1: can't rip Brady's protect He's in a protected class. You
34:18
Speaker 1: won't be allowed. Yeah, exactly, all right, Dad, I gotta go.
34:22
Speaker 1: You've been on there for ten minutes. My god, all right,
34:24
Speaker 1: thank you, go away. All right, there's the great Danny
34:26
Speaker 1: de Vito there checking in. So some high drama. One
34:30
Speaker 1: thing the Cowboys are good at is drama. Football not
34:33
Speaker 1: very good at drama, very good. So one of the
34:37
Speaker 1: Cowboys is a name because the family. He got a
34:40
Speaker 1: he's got a brother playing for the pitchers, Trevon Diggs.
34:44
Speaker 1: It would appear he's not gonna be on the Dallas
34:47
Speaker 1: Cowboys next season. He was what's called a healthy scratch
34:51
Speaker 1: in the game on Sunday night. He was inactive now,
34:54
Speaker 1: I say healthy scratch because Trevon Diggs said he was
34:57
Speaker 1: ready to go and ready to play, and as of
35:01
Speaker 1: Friday he said he was certain he was gonna play
35:03
Speaker 1: Sunday night. He had practiced all week, he was included
35:06
Speaker 1: in the game plan, and then over the weekend they said, psych,
35:11
Speaker 1: you're not playing. And so Diggs stood on the sidelines
35:15
Speaker 1: the like numb nuts, and he was wearing his street
35:18
Speaker 1: clothes and was wandering around there watching the Minnesota Vikings
35:23
Speaker 1: beat the Dallas Cowboys, and he said he'd pretty much
35:28
Speaker 1: said listen, I was ready to go. I thought, he said,
35:33
Speaker 1: I thought I was playing. And then he said, it
35:36
Speaker 1: is what it is, which is like the F you.
35:38
Speaker 1: And when you say it is what it is, that's
35:40
Speaker 1: f you. That's what that means. It's a universally known now.
35:42
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones stated after the game that Stefon Diggs quote
35:47
Speaker 1: isn't healthy enough to play for us. He's not healthy
35:50
Speaker 1: enough for us to put him out there, even though
35:52
Speaker 1: Diggs claimed he was healthy and he did practice all week.
35:55
Speaker 1: So someone is not telling the truth. I'm gonna go
35:59
Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones not telling the truth. That's what I'm
36:02
Speaker 1: gonna go with because if he was medically cleared to practice,
36:05
Speaker 1: Diggs and he practiced all week and he was included
36:07
Speaker 1: in the game plan. You know this is not You
36:10
Speaker 1: don't have to have a a be a mensa to
36:13
Speaker 1: figure this out. It's not that hard. Yeah, Jerry's looking
36:17
