• 1:44
  Speaker 1: so our lead this hour from the coaching carousel. The
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: carousel's pretty much done at this point. The music has
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: all but stopped. There is one job left open. It
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: does not appear that it is actually open. In theory,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that would be the New New Orleans Shop, but the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: NFL traveling circus heading to the shores of the mighty
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Mississippi River over the weekend for the great media freeloaders event,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the Radio Row super Bowl week, where your favorite radio
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: personalities and NFL media run up expense accounts to interview
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: athletes selling you products you don't really need or want.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: But it happens every year in New Orleans, the host city.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: So if you haven't heard the latest on this, we
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: are told now that the commanders offensive genius Cliff Kingsbury.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He was the village idiot with the Cardinals, but now
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: with Jayden Daniels, all of a sudden, he's at the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: very top of many watch lists. So Cliff Kingsbury has said,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: no Moss, no Moss. I am not not going to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: show interest in the Saints job. I am rebuffing the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints rejected, and he will remain the offensive
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: goose of Jaden Daniels in Washington, New Orleans supposedly was interested,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you believe the scuttle butt around the NFL.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Who knows what to believe at this point. But Kingsbury did.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Not share the interest, and he said, no, I would
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: not talk to anybody when the Commanders were in the playoffs,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: so they could go out and give up double nickels
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to the Eagles and lose an embarrassing fashion. And now
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: has decided altogether Kingsbury to stay in the DMV for
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the near future. So let us discuss Cliff Kingsbury staying
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: with the Commanders. And the reporting said, well, wasn't interested
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in the Saints job. Are you okay with that? So
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I've got Rainy Day, Lulu Mahn, and Daily Double Daily Double.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: We'll combine all of these things together and we are
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: going to make a grilled cheese sandwich with the cheese
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: inside and out grilled, the proper way to make a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: realed cheese sandwich. So my first thought here, you always
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: have to go into this wondering if there's some ulterior motive,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and I think there is in this case. Is Cliff
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Kingsbury being honest? And he said, well, he's a coach
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and coaches by default or not honest. But it actually
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: does make sense. It does make sense.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You take a couple of steps back, and he can
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: be a picky eater. He doesn't have to eat his vegetables.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And let's face it, the New Orleans Saints coaching job
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: is Brussels sprouts. It's cauliflower, it's not steak, it's not
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: prime rib. It's the vegetable part of the plate. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you can be discriminating if you're Cliff Kingsbury.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And here's why. He is sitting on.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Top of a pile of pesos, a giant jackpot. Here,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury holds all the carts. He reaps all the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: benefits of being bad as a head coach. Literally, he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is still getting paid the golden handshake from the Arizona
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: football team.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury has a pretty deep, pretty deep, pretty.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Good trust fund set up here, a rainy day fund
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: if you will here.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Meaning that, like I said, you could be a picky eater.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You don't have to eat the Brussels sprouts, the cauliflower,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the broccoli. You can wait for the dessert if you want.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You can have the steak. You can have the chicken.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: You don't have to eat the vegetables here. He's getting
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: his head coaching salary from the Cardinals. Now, how much
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury making seven point five million annually this year,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: next year, and until twenty twenty seven, so he's got
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a several more years left that the Bidwell family is
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: paying him a lot of money, a lot of money
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to be a one day one under which he kind
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of wasn't here. I have the good starts every year
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and then Alligator Arms Murray settled in and Kingsbury wasn't
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that smart a coach. We'll see how it goes with
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels. But that's money for nothing, and it allows
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you to sit back.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And just kind of wait.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I just kind of wait around and see what happens
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and see how it goes. Now turning the page, so
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: we're hearing that another name that we've heard of who
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: at one point was a whiz kid and a genius,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and so many people writing think pieces that this guy
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: should be an NFL head coach, and it was it
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: was a great injustice that this guy didn't get a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: head coaching job, except as he's kept coaching and been
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: terrible we're talking about former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric b.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Enemy. Seems that Murphy's Law has kicked in.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: For the enemy and whatever can go wrong will go
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: wrong lately for the enemy. Currently unemployed, he accorded to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the recent scuttle but Eric, longtime Chiefs assistant coach who
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: bet on himself and lost, is now out in the bout.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: He's spoken to multiple NFL teams regarding openings on their
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: coaching staff. Now some of those talks, according to one report,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I saw ongoing. They're using the word ongoing. Okay, ongoing,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: what does that even mean? He did talk to the Patriots.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: They said, ha, ha, you're not Josh McDaniels. We want
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. We're bringing Josh McDaniels back. So we all
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: know the history. The enemy was with Andy Reid for
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a long time. It was in Kansas City for a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: long time. It was a running back coach and then
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: became the offensive coordinator. And during that stretch the Chiefs
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: went to the playoffs nine times in ten years that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the Enemy was there, not necessarily because of the enemy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: They also won a couple of Super Bowls.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I guess this guy named Pat Mahomes might have been
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: responsible for some of that. So former Chiefs offensive coordinator
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Eric B. Enemy, whose career is on life support at
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this point, coaching his name being floated for NFL assistant
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: coaching jobs. Believe it or not, Believe it or not,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: so I am agnostic on this one. This strikes me
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: as an artistic endeavor, meaning the art of manifestation. So
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Eric Benemy, I don't doubt that his agent is contacting teams.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Hey, we'd like to be on the staff. There the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: enemies looking for.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Work, and he's determined the agent to talk this into existence.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: So my experience in the.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Past when I ran my rumor site back in the day,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: was a lot of this is if you put it
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: out there, it'll happen, meaning you plant the rumor strategically
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: with with some guru inside information person, whether they're inside
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the NFL or outside, and then that gets people talking
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and then eventually some team will cave in and bring
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the enemy in. But at this point, Eric Beenemy bet
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: on himself. He said, I'm gonna invest all my money
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: in my stock. I'm going to Wall Street and I'm
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: gonna buy stock in Eric B.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Enemy.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Is what I'm gonna do and that stock had about
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: as good a year or the last couple of years
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: as Lulumn Dollar General and Walgreens talk about a fall
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: from grace. He was the special ingredient, if you believed
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: all these idiots in the media in Kansas City, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: he was wonderful there and so responsible for the success.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And as soon as he left Eric Benemy, Patrick Mahomes,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: he has been pantsed everywhere he's been. He went to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Washington to prove he can win without a good quarterback
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and have success without a good quarterback with the Commanders.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: How did that go? Don't ask sucked?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Stopped off at uc LA and did an epic belly
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: opera with those gutty little bruins of Westwood. And now
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: now he's desperate to get back into the NFL. It
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: would appear the fish are not biting now. Can the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: agent work magic here? We'll find out. And there's so
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: many coaching jobs in the NFL. I find it hard
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to believe being mey won't get one. He's got to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: have a friend somewhere. But as far as being an
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, I'd be very surprised. If he's an offensive coordinator.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: He could be like a senior assistant and assistant to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the assistant to the assistant.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Something like that.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: But in terms of calling the plays, being the offensive coordinator,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: no one is screaming for that to happen.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: All right, final stop to television land.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: We go the AFC Championship game, which was played this
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: past weekend. Can the city in Buffalo? A couple of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: markets that are not plumb TV markets, Buffalo and Kansas City,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But it didn't matter. That game true a massive rating
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: for CBS. We are told that the Chiefs Bills game
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: averaged almost fifty eight million viewers fifty seven point seven million,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: making it the most watched AFC Championship game since Ronald
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Reagan was the president back in the nineteen eighties. It's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a long time ago, wowsers, So how do you explain?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: How do you explain almost fifty eight million over seven
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: fifty seven to fifty eight million people watching the Chiefs
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and the Bills feel the burn of the Chiefs and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the Bills game. So this is I'll be the adult
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in the room. It's the daily double, daily double, daily double.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: It's the daily double. You've got story and you've got stats.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: You had the Bills looking to get over the hump,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: right for Josh Allen, get back to the super Bowl,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and all those lunatic Bill's.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Mafia people who were so worried about sports with Coleman
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: that they.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Were celebrating like they had won the Super Bowl, the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: idiots after they beat the Ravens. So you had Bill's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Mafia all Jones up, you guy, win one for Josh Allen.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I heard a lot of people say the do factor
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: was involved. They were due, they were due to beat
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Kansas City.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Had that workout.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You had the intrigue of Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: trying to win a third super Bowl. But to win
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a third Super Bowl, you have to get to a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: third straight Super Bowl. So they had to jump over
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the steep you know, the steeple chase of Buffalo to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: get to the game. And then you add a little
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: eye candy Taylor Swift eating popcorn in a luxury box.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: So it was a swift boat for Taylor Swift.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: There the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, that
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: human drama of live sports television, all of it playing out,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and that was enough to arouse interest. And I'm not
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: talking about you and I we're gonna watch, right, we watch.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: We're the hardcore base. You don't worry about the base
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: when you want when you run for political office, you're
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: not worried about the base.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: The base is going to be there. The diehards are
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: going to be there.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You're worried about the casuals, the low information fan, the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: dumb fan, the fan that's not a real fan, of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: fake fan that don't anything about it, but they watch
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it anyway because everyone else is watching the phony fan.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You're worried about the phony fan. If you can get
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the phony fan to watch your golden right, it's compelling TV.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: You add the fact that it was back and forth,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Buffalo had the lead early in the fourth quarter, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that is the cherry on top of the rating. Sunday
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: makes for compelling theater. And it paid off fifty eight million,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: not your common or garden variety.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: And then so we'll see if that carries out. Of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: course it will.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It's gonna carry over to the super Bowl. Who we
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: kidne here, They always get huge ratings for the Super Bowl.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And now this is bigger because the Chiefs have a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: chance to either do something that hasn't been done or
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: screw it up right at the finish line and not
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: get it done.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: But either way, that's your story. That and Taylor Swift
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: will be there. Boo hoo hoo.

• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it now. Back in the day that was a catchphrase.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It's no longer a catchphrase, but it is a good
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: lead in to our top of the hour Mallard monologue.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: As we begin to do I hope you're doing well.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So I we'll start out with this, another one the dust,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: another one bites the dust. Now, if you haven't heard,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: perhaps not, we've now learned that former Dallas Cowboy head
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: coach Mike McCarthy will not will not be the next
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: head coach of the Saints. State sponsored NFL network claims
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that McCarthy decided to focus on.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: The twenty twenty six coaching.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Campaign, that he'll try to get a job that is
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: currently held right now the hiring cycle for next year,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and will not be an NFL coach this season left
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in a hullabaloo following a week of
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: meetings with Jerry Jones. They could not find any glory
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: hole in Dallas, and so Mike McCarthy decided to say, no,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go somewhere else, and somewhere else would
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: be an island.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: He's living in the island. Life is what he's doing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, how do you digest
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy being shutout of the NFL coaching cycle here
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: in this go round in twenty twenty five. So I've
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: got reading, rainbow matrix and cosmetic treatment, and we will
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we were going
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to make a chicken caesadea is what we're going to make.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: So nob that's right as we understand it. Mike McCarthy
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: ended up getting the hebgbis, he got hoodwinked.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: He was led astray.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Now whether that was his agent or his own bravado,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: time will tell. But when we talked about McCarthy leaving
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, he decided to play hardball.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: With Jerry Jones.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: There is a dimension in the multiverse where Mike McCarthy
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: remained on as Cowboy coach that he took a knee
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and he bowed down to Jerry Jones and said, yes,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: whatever you want, I'm good.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: But that's not what he did.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Instead, in this dimension, Mike McCarthy said, no, I can
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: get a job somewhere else, and I have a stack
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: deck and I'm not going to be the coach of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the cowboych Well, it turns out that Mike McCarthy needs
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the reading rainbow. He needs the reading rainbow because he
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: misread the room. He figured that he had the Bears
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: job in his back pocket, had the same agent as
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the general manager of the Chicago Bears, and it seemed
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: like that was a no brainer. And if that didn't
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: work out, he had the Saints job as a fallback
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: option because they had been talking up Mike McCarthy. Well,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson zigged. When Mike McCarthy thought he was going
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to zag, he was supposed to zag. He assumed Ben
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Johnson was going to go from the Lions to say
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the Raiders or the Jets or the Jaguars somewhere like that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: He was offered the Jacksonville job, did not take the job.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: The Raiders fired their coach in GM to hire Ben Johnson,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: but he didn't go to Vague, instead going to Chicago,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So that screwed over Mike McCarthy, but hey, he had
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the backup play. He had the backup plan is to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: go to Louisiana and coach the Saints and only to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: choke when he got there on the Jumbalaya, realizing that
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the roster was devoid of fount Now, from when I've
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: heard the main issue for Mike McCarthy was when he
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: was meeting with the Saints and going over what the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: vision was for the franchise, he realized there was a
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Mickey in the way, and not Mickey Mouse, Mickey Loomis.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Who is the Jerry Jones of the Bayou. He's the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones of the buyer. This guy quietly because they're
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the Saints and they don't get a lot of attention.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: This guy has.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Been the GM or the executive of the Saints for
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: over twenty years. Over twenty years, he has had quite
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the lay of the land there. And so Mike McCarthy
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: ran out of real estate. And now he's decided to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: look ahead till twenty twenty six the next NFL coaching cycle.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: So which head coaching jobs are likely to open up
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: next year?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Which head coaching jobs will likely open up?
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: So the Mallard crystal ball, the Mallard crystal ball is
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: open and looking.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Into the future.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Here are the teams that have to have really good
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: years or they're going to fire their coach. The Indianapolis
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Colts checked, the Arizona Cardinals check. Check, the Tennessee Titans check.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: How about Tampa Bay Now Todd Bowles. We like Todd Bowles,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: but we're in the playoffs this year. But if you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: look at Todd Bowles age, he's at the point where
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: if they're just mediocre and they're just a playoff team
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: but they don't do anything, people are going to try
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: to force Todd Bowles out. The Giants, Brian day Ball,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he's got one more year. I'd say the Atlanta Falcons
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: are also there. And then based on the last seven years,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: where the last seven years, at least one new coach
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: has been let go every single year one and done.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: So that means that either Dull County in Jacksonville, Liam
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Khane will be shown the door, kick his ass out,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: or the Dallas Cowboys will say bye bye to Shotti,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: or should the Jets say we're changing coaches again because
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this didn't really work out with our new Aeron, it
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: didn't really work out with Aaron Glenn. There's also the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: surprise coaching change. At some point, Andy Reid's going to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: retire if the Bills continue to flounder in the playoffs,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: they'll get fed up and fire Sean McDermott. He's not
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: guaranteed to be there forever and ever, and ever. But
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: those are wild card situations. But if you do the math,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: anywhere from six to ten jobs. Now I gave you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the Colts and the Cardinals, and the Bucks and the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Titans and the.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Giants and the falcon that's six jobs.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And then I tossed in and and won, which would
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: be either Jacksonville or the Jets. So that's the seventh job.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And then there's the surprise firing or coach that leaves
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: who wasn't supposed to leave, like Sean McVay runs off
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to do television, or Kyle Shanahan decides he wants to
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: be a messus and leaves coaching all together. All right, now,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: pitch drew so former NFL player JJ Watt burst a
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: blood vessel when he saw the gaggle of players that said, hey,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I ain't played unless I get mind brawl, and they
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: dropped out of.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: The Pro Bowl games.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Pro Bowl, not the Pro Bowl, the Pro
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Bowl games which are this weekend. Now, he went on
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a social media rant suggesting the Pro Bowl should change
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: its name. After all, it's false advertising. So JJ Watt
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: thinks the game should be called the Participation Bawl is
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: what he said. Due to the vast majority of the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: top line players dropping out of the Pro Bowl here
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. So thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: thumbs down to JJ Watt and his plan to change
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl name to the Participation Bowl. So I'm
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: gonna go two thumbs up. But rather than the participation bawl,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I'm a marketing guy, I'm marketing Mallard. So rather than
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Participation Ball, how about Engagement Farming Bowl. Because that's really
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: why this even exists, the only real reason that they
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: even have this raw event where everyone gets together and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: plays grab ass.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: They do the water.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Balloon toss, the hula hoop, they play dodgeball. The only
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: reason this happens is because of the matrix. It is
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: because of the clickbait. The bots love it in the matrix.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: The marketing arm of the NFL can't get enough of it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: This event was killed from inside out.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: The players played hooky for years. The rank and file
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: held a wild card.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Strike as a wild cat strike that was in the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: game in Vegas, the last Pro Bowl that was played
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: in Vegas. It was such an abomination, it was such
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a joke, so over the top, such a mangled mess.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: That now they play a flag football game and dodgeball
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and all these other events like they're at summer camp.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And that was supposed to get the players back excited
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: for the Pro Bowls, Like, well, you don't have to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: play in the game. You're not going to get hurt.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Just go out there and have some fun.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: How's that going? Don't ask? All right? Do not ask?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Twenty three players listed on the original Pro Bowl roster.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Have already opted out of the game. They ain't playing.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: They're not Most of them aren't going, they claim because
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: of injury or just a general lack of interest in
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the game itself. Now, they were so desperate to get
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a warm body a quarterback that Russell Wilson, who sucks,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: is a Pro Bowl quarterback Drake May. Even if you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: are a manny and a petty fanboy for Drake May,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: he doesn't belong in a real Pro Bowl. Over twenty
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: five percent of players selected for the Pro Bowl.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Have tapped out. They're not going.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: And I still chuckle because every once in a while
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I'll get a call from a low information fan and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a player will change teams and say, well that player
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: was a Pro Bowl player.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: And okay, they were a Pro Bowl player.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: There is nothing more useless in a conversation about the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: NFL and saying, well, that guy was a Pro Bowl player.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Tell me you don't know ball without telling me you
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: don't know ball. All pro, which is not not Pro Bowl.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: All pro status matters. The Pro Bowl is like a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: no fail class in college. You were allowing the participants
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to receive credit for the class without a low grade,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: negatively affecting their GPA. Because as you just show up
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and play, grab ass and rah rah, do some cheeseball interviews,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: post for some funny photos and videos online.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: And smirk a little bit, and you're on your way.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Final point, The tushy pushy is back in the conversation
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: or a controversial play, A lot of pushback, a lot
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: of pushback. Recently over the weekend, the Quarterback Sneak that
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: has been mastered by the jedis in Philadelphia the Eagles.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Is it gonna go? Is it gonna stay?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Now we are told the NFL discussed a band of
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the tush push They've had internal conversations. Roger Goodell did
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: not like the play. However, now they've tabled that. They're like, ah,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: now we're good. They backed off the competition. They claim
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the play is popular. I don't know how popular it is.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's actually the right way to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: describe it. But should the NFL? Since many have been
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: emailing me, I'll address this issue. Should the NFL outlaw
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: ban the.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Toush push a going forward? So?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I say absolutely not. Now my position is very similar
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to baseball. Baseball did not listen to me because Rob
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Manford's an idiot. My position in baseball do not ban
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the shift.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: You don't need to ban the shift. There's a way
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: to beat the shift.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: There's a more compelling argument that there's no way to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: beat the Tousch push. If the Tousch push has played properly,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: there's no way to stop. However, even with it being
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: a boring in air quotes a boring play, every other team.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: The reason not to get rid of the touchbush is
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: every single team in the NFL has the same opportunity
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to replicate what the philadel Figles are doing, Meaning they
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: can run it like them, or they can stop.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: And how's that working out? When you do inventory. The
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Eagles with Jalen Hurts are Rhodes.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Scholars at that particular play, the rest of the league blows.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: All right, Josh Allen, how many of those did he botch?
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: And the Bill's actually been decent at that, but when
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: it mattered, most didn't quite worked out for Josh Allen
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills. Now, if it was that easy,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and it was that simple, why wouldn't every team do it? Well,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of these quarterbacks are a flower. They're a
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: pussy willow flower. And to Jalen Hurts his credit, the
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: guy squats like squat's car, and so he's able to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: do it. But that said, big brother the NFL, they
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: should consider some cosmetic treatment on the tushy pushing. All right,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: little Mallard advice. The Malard think tank has been activated.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: How about some fine tuning, a little tweaking, little twist here,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: little tap over there. Here's why the play is not
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: a level playing field. Now, I realize the NFL doesn't
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: really care about that, but from a viewer standpoint, it
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: would be much more enjoyable since offensive players are allowed
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to push offensive linemen forward. Thus it's the tush push
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts and all that. The defensive players are
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: not allowed to the same courtesy so if you allow
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the defensive players, the linebackers to push the tushy of
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the defensive linemen, well that would be an equal level
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: playing field. That would be fine. That would that would
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: be the great equalizer. But the NFL clearly likes the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: success that Philadelphia has had with his play and m
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: peple talking about things being slanted for Kansas City, I say,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the way the Eagles are successful with a toush push
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: is an unfair advantage that they have, but it has
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: increase offense, at least for Philadelphia. In the NFL, they
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: had a chance to meddle with it. They didn't meddle
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: with it. We'll see if they do this year. That's
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: really the secret sauce. And then now they've added Sakwan
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Barkley and Philadelphia this year, which has been great. But
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: other than that, it's get down a third down and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: one fourth down and one and boom, you got the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: toushi pushy.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

• 30:27
  Speaker 2: mallar how about that to the third degree.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: This is one big Ben gets grilled probally.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Garrett Wilson sparked a frenzy among Denver Broncos fans with
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: his social media activity activity earlier this week. Now, first,
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Wilson participated in an Instagram poll regarding a potential trade
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: to the Broncos. Then fans noticed that he started following
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Bo Nicks and other Broncos players.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, uh huh oh yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Now, Ben, do you think the Jets trade Wilson, whether
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: to Denver or somewhere else?
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's your question. The answer is yes.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: The Jets as a franchise have underperformed, and I don't
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: want to say Garrett Wilson has overperformed, but the whole
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: thing is collapsing there. That's why they changed coaches. They
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: have not hit the mark there. They're going to change
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks again. So Garrett Wilson is a highly likely traded
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: player this offseason. I would be surprised if he's back
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: with the Jets next.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Now, with Jimmy Butler getting suspended by the Miami Heat
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: yet again, Brian Windhors is now reporting that a team
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: could now acquire Butler for cheap. Ben, do you think
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: some team is gonna score a bargain with Jimmy buckets.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, there's a team in the G League that's going
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: to get what does he have?
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Any mean, I don't even know what that means by
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: win horse. I know he's in the tank with all
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: this stuff, but what is a bargain? Like, they're not
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: going to give up anything to get Jimmy Butler. Of
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: course they're gonna get something of value for Jimmy Butler,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: but it is a hot mess. I mean, he is
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: doing everything he can to get out of Miami and
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: nothing is working.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I'm skeptical that it's a bargain. He's a good player.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: Next, So, the NBA released the lineup for the twenty
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: twenty five Dunk Contest and fans were underwhelmed, to say
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: the least. Many called it the worst Dunk Contest roster
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: of all time. Now, Ben, let's be real, the Dunk
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Contest has been bad for a long time. Now.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: There's any chance the NBA just does away with it?
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: The NFL got rid of the Pro Bowl because the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: players didn't care. The players haven't cared for probably fifteen
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: years or more in the Dunk Contest. So yeah, there's
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: a shot. It depends on the TV ratings. If people watch,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: it'll stick around. It's a bunch of no names. How
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: do we do you pass?
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I one, that's another wind. Put it on the board,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: qutter on the board.

• 33:09
  Speaker 3: So Ben Today, Yes, Loraina, Yes, Loraena.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: This guy who I used to talk to like two
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: and a half years ago hit me up randomly, Yeah,
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: just randomly, and he's like, Hey, it's so and so.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Can we hang out again?
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Look at that?
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: And you know my urge. I had a lot of
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: different things that I wanted to say, but you know
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: what I did. I took the high road and I
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: lied and I said I was in a serious relationship.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: And people don't like hearing no. They don't like hearing no.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: No.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: And I said, I hope you've been doing well, and
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: thank you for thinking of me, but I'm not interested.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah. See that's a blow, Loreena. That's a
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: body blow, is it?
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: It is?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to thinking about you. Did you guys
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: end it on a bad note? He's just you don't
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: want to dump him?
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Or did he? He's a weird guy. What was weird
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: about it?
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: I don't want to tell you that's how weird he was?
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Really he was bored. What do you have been one
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: of the people that calls the show? What you been
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: that weird?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: When he's Yeah, he might be, he might be. He's
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: more of a soccer guy though, so you guys don't
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: really do soccer people. No, anyways, we should probably get
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: to the questions.
• 34:22

  Speaker 7: would be a different story. But if she has a

  Speaker 7: lot of male friends that she hangs out with, I
