  Speaker 1: Chub-a-lub-lub. It's our number three Ben Maller Show podcast, original
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: recipe pod. Happy Columbus Day. I think that's still a thing.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I heard it's still a thing. It's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the 12th day of October. Happy Monday to you. And
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on this particular Monday here in hour three, the story
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: everyone's talking about, one of the great choke jobs in
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the history of professional sports. The team formerly known as
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the Redskins, now known as the Commanders, they absolutely blew
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: it at the end. Had a makeable field goal. Didn't
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: even get a field goal attempt in overtime in a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: tie game last because of their ineptitude. Is this commander's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: loss to the Giants a failure of individual judgment by
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels or systemic failure of the entire Dan Quinn
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Washington coaching operation? We'll talk about that. And should Eagle
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: fans take solace in Coach Nick Sirianni taking the blame?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: In London, Philly lost with eight seconds left. Another eight-second loss.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: They lose to Jacksonville. Also, is Robert Salah showing admirable
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: loyalty for Cam Ward, or is this blind faith in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who hasn't earned it yet in Tennessee? We'll
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: talk about that and more right now. Here we go.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's our number three. Well, they call themselves the Commanders.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Bring the music down a little bit there. But not
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the commanders of time. Welcome in the beginning of another
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: air everywhere. Even if we have the wrong number. because
• 1:49

• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Whoopi Pie Blair. They all agree that the Ben Maller

• 2:56
  Speaker 1: don't bury the lead, my man. Well, what a finish.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It's a very memorable finish in the NFL. So it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: not a big matchup. It's an NFC East game. You
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: had the Washington football team versus the New York Astros.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: NFC football team. A couple of rivals, division rivals going
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: at it. I don't know if you saw this game
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: or not. Perhaps you were watching some other game. But
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Washington fudged away a golden opportunity to win a game
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in overtime. Well, they should have won it in regulation.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: They blew a relatively large lead in this game. Instead,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they were forced to settle for a 27-all tie after
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: botching the what should have been at least a game-winning
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: field goal attempt, they didn't even get the attempt off.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So the ball was inside the giant 25-yard line in overtime.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And we have the play-by-play. Let's go to the audio tip.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Here's what it sounded like. Jaden Daniels under center for
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the Washington football team. You're in field goal range. So
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: if you don't get another yard, it is a 41-yard
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: field goal. Every man, woman, and child knows, let's watch
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL, that is a reasonable field goal to expect
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to be made. A professional football kicker should make that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: kick most of the time. So you have a really
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: good chance of winning the game. And then this happened. Daniels, yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he's not passing the ball. Okay, yeah. Now they don't
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: have a timeout.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: What are they doing?
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: They've got to get up and spike it. They're not
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: going to be able to get this kind of time.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: They're not going to. It's going to run out on them.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: The clock ran out as Daniels ran the ball. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Scadaboo says, I'll take the tie and get out of town.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: What's that? There you go. The great Chris Myers, part
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. For those of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you who are Fox Sports Radio historians... You might remember
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the Chris Myers show with his lovable sidekick. Yeah. Well,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: he definitely loved working here. He got much more success
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: here than I had. I know that back in the day.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: But anyway, there's Chris Myers on Fox with the call,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: along with Jonathan Vilma, one of the all-time great. Cluster Fs.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You will not see something for many years as dumb
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: as that. Holy crap. So Daniels took the snap. He
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: shuffled around. Myers, it was a TV call on Fox.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He did not. Did not gain any ground. Even if
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: he had gained ground, it really didn't matter. The ball
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: was in makeable field goal range. No timeouts remaining. Washington
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: unable to spike the ball. There was no sense of urgency.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Time expired. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. As
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it goes the wrong way for the Washington football team.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Great moments in franchise history. Man, is that a good one.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Just freaking great. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: have no skin in the game. Actually, I guess I did.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I had the Giants plus the points, so I won
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the bet on a tie. So I'm very happy about that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Let's hear from the people involved in this. Why don't
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we start with Dan Quinn? Let's go to cut two.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Here's Dan Quinn, head coach of the Washington football team. Dan, plausibly,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it's your responsibility to make sure your players know the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: down situation, clock, game management. Can you explain what the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: hell happened at the end.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Of the game?
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Leaving tonight with a tie feels like a loss.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: Last sequence, we throw it out of bounds, we clock it,
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: you know, you give yourself a chance to kick it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: And we pride ourselves on those moments at the end
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: of the game.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: And after the first down run, you know, still trying
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: to gain more for the kick. Right calls, honestly, we
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: can go clock it early. And don't put ourselves in
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: that spot. And that is, that's my responsibility.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Nobody else's.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Actually, it's your quarterback's responsibility, too, because he's an idiot.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Here is Jaden Daniels. Jaden, hey, dummy, what were you thinking, pal?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: We got to stop the clock. We got to know
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: his ozone situation. We got to relay that as an offense.
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: It starts from everybody top down, but ultimately.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: It's on me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Well, he said ultimately it's on him, but he gave
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: some other subtle comments that were clearly shots at some
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of the coaching staff It's not hard to interpret. He
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: did couch it by saying it's ultimately on me, but
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: there's some of the other comments. Yeah, from the top down. Well,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he ain't at the top. All right, so that is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss, is this commander's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: loss a failure of the individual judgment of Jaden Daniels
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: or some kind of systemic failure of the entire Dan
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Quinn Washington coaching operation? So I've got Curio cabinet. We've
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: got car dealership. and kitty cat status and we will
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to talk until the sun rises that's the plan we're
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: just going to keep talking and talking there's a kitty
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: cat right there all right so to lead off here
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: jayden daniels the man of the hour what a Masterpiece.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Chef's kiss. You know I live for this kind of stuff.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Just great. So Daniels did not beat the clock. The
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: clock beat Jaden Daniels. A 41-yard field goal attempt, which
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is pretty much a gimme in modern NFL football, turned
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: into a 100-yard walk of shame with your tail between
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: your legs. Every player on the Washington Commanders, every one
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of them, This was mental flatulence is what this was.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It was a brain fart for the ages for Jaden Daniels.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Just tremendous. That final play, tie game, makeable field goal.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Time to down the ball, kick the field goal. That
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: decision by Jaden Daniels belongs in a curio cabinet at
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the Sports Hall of Shame. Right there with the butt fumble.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And J.R. Smith, who did something similar, dribbling out the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: clock in a tie game in the NBA Finals. Great
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: moments in Cleveland Cavalier history. So congratulations to Jaden Daniels.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You can now have dinner with J.R. Smith once he's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: out of jail. And Sanchez, I guess, once he's out
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of jail, whatever. And have a great time. Does that
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: mean Jaden Daniels should be worried about possibly, okay, maybe
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: going to jail? Possibly. But tremendous. So he didn't just
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: wear the shame bell. No, no, no, no. Next level.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Next level. That's like a jumbo-sized shame bell. Jaden Daniels,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he was the man in the arena. and you talk
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: about having bad situational awareness, and all these coaches love
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to talk about high football IQ and all that. You
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: can never say that about Jaden Daniels. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum! crap. My God.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Apparently he thought, I guess they had unlimited timeouts and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it was like playing a video game and just tremendously
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: outstanding situational awareness. Just wonderful. just wonderful and you'd think
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the quarterback would be aware of game time situation that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: whole thing and would not need to be reminded and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and so there's that part of it you know Dan
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Quinn also gets the finger of shame and there's people
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: saying Dan Quinn should be fired I could have made
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that argument years ago that he shouldn't have been hired
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to coach the Washington football team based on his job
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta but they have a quarterback coach let's go
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: through so they have a quarterback coach probably two They've
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: got the offensive coordinator, and you've got the head coach.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: You've got 47 game analysts. You've got a bunch of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: staffers that are there, and apparently nobody figured out, let's
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: make sure we don't screw the time up. Who goofed?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I've got to know. Ultimately, for me, it's on Jaden Daniels.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You're a first-round quarterback. You're supposed to be the man.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You want the Heisman, all this stuff. That's your job, dude.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Don't F that up. We all have bad days. But
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that was not just a bad day. That was an all-timer.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: That was something that you would expect a Pop Warner
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: all-star to not F up. And a professional football player did.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe if Jaden Daniels didn't have somebody file a lawsuit
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: against LSU over his number or threaten a lawsuit, he
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: would have figured out the clock situation. Maybe he was distracted.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: That might have been the day that the Washington football
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: team went over clock management. And he was busy trying
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to complain to the people over there in Baton Rouge
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: about his number. Is it possible these two things are related?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Some kind of cosmic situation? You know who loved it,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: by the way? The Giants. Did you see how happy
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Giants were? They knew they were losing. They knew
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they were going to lose that game. Every single player
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: on that Giants defense, the way they reacted, it's like,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: holy F. Like, what is this? We have a goldfish
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: at quarterback for the Washington football team. And all they
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: had to do on defense was watch the clock run down.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: They just watched the clock run down. That's it. All right, meanwhile,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: we go to London. We had another snafu, early morning snafu.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in London and the Eagles suffering a body blow, body blow.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: What a gut punch. 1917, they did cover the spread
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: if you're a gambler, but they lose to Jacksonville in
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: London despite leading 17-16 with eight seconds remaining in the game.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Does this sound familiar? Remember the game in Rio? The
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Ravens? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Happened again. So this time, it was a 17-16 game
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: with eight seconds left. Jake Elliott, that's a kicker, not
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: a real football player, Jake Elliott hit a 48-yard field
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: goal after Jalen Hurts injured a nine-play 32-yard drive, massaging
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the clock, getting the ball down into field goal range,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and then the Jaguars, after the Eagles decided to kick off,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: rather than boot the kickoff into the end zone for
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a touchback, And Philadelphia said, let's kick it, run some clock,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and make it returnable. So somebody named Amir Abdullah. Never
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: heard of this guy. Plays for Jacksonville. Amir Abdullah. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he ripped off a 53-yard return. And that set up
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville's one second left. And that set up Cam Little...
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: For a game-winning 57-yard run off the field, go to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the locker room, you've just won the game. You had
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: no business winning. As Philadelphia, you see who was not
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, the star players who were out?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: They had no business even being in position to win
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that game. And Jacksonville played such crappy football that the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Eagles had the lead with eight seconds to go. It's great. Now,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville won the stat sheet. They had 400 yards of offense,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and I think almost doubled the yardage of the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: But still, the thing that I've always known, I think
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: most of us know, is that the scoreboard thing is
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: more important than all those other nerd stats. And Jacksonville
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: had 13 penalties for 100 yards. So, in reality, they
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: gave 100 yards away. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. They end
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: up losing this game. But let's hear from some of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the key participants here. Here is... Jalen Hurts. Let's start
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with cut to Jalen Hurts here commenting on the end
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of the game, on if he would change things up
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: with the strategy there at the end of the game.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: That's not my place.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And we're prepared.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: I'm prepared as a quarterback to not worry about those things.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: So I'm honoring the play call, honoring the things that
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: are coming in the game. When I'm up at night, yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: I think about, man, should I have said something or
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: should I have? took a step back and said, wait,
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: but ultimately there's a commitment to that and going out
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: there and executing. And so this was one where it
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: did not.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Work in our favor. That's his way of saying, my
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: coach effed up. It ain't my fault. It's Nick Sirianni's fault.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He's the idiot. My job, you want me to coach
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the team, you got to pay me more money. That's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: essentially what Jalen Hurts was saying. Does anyone disagree with that?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was like, listen, if you want to pay
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: me to coach the team, then give me some more money.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I'll coach the team. Otherwise, it's that dum-dum's fault over there,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni. All right, let's hear from Nick Sirianni. Nick Sirianni,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you've just lost a game. You had no business losing.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: What do you have to say for yourself?
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it hurts because in the sense of the guys
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: fought their ass off and had a chance to win
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: the game. And then for me to not make the
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: right decision in that, you feel like you let everyone down.
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: It's just like you would feel if you missed a
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: free throw at the end of the game or if
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: you had a drop. I've been in both of those places.
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: And those ones stick with you, and that will stick
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: with me.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: For a long time.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: All right, so he took the blame, and that's what
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to use as our jumping-off point. So should
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Eagle fans take solace? And there were tons of Eagle fans.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I did not see most of this game. I was
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: awake for the end of it. My schedule got all
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: messed around because of the football and whatnot and what
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I was up to. So I was up and I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: saw the end of the game and all that. Should
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Eagle fans, and there were a lot of them in London,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: take solace in Nick Sirianni taking the blame? So two words.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Two words. No way. No way. The put it on
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: me response. I've noticed this doing the talk show over
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the last couple years. The Eagles haven't lost very many games.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: This is the first time they're under 500 in like
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: five years. They don't normally lose that many games. And
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it's been a while since they've had a mediocre team
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. But here's the thing. So Nick Sirianni, the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: put it on me is a boilerplate response. It's like
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: his favorite song in the jukebox. Sirianni has apologized so
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: many times. How many times? He's apologized so many times.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: He's one loss away from getting his own customer service hotline.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So congratulations on that. Philadelphia does not need another apology.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: They don't. It needs a real head coach is what
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it needs. Now, the Eagles used to have enough talent.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Here's my theory on the Eagles. They used to have
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: enough talent. where Nick Sirianni looked like a genius. The
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: players made him look like a genius. Now they're asking
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: him to roll up his sleeves and coach up some
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of these guys. And they were in position to win
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: this game, despite having a talent void. However, you are
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: judged on the full game, not just part of the game.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And because of free agency... Injuries, players quitting and retiring,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: trading away some offensive linemen and some other players. The
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: premium talent that Philadelphia has had, they've had a tremendous
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: talent advantage, has not exactly continued here. So it's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: messy operation now. And Nick Sirianni was hired to drive
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a Cadillac. And he drove the Caddy. He was really
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: good driving a Cadillac. Everyone looked around and all that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Now the Byrds car dealership has said, well, we've got
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to take back the Cadillac. Well, Nick said, I want
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the Cadillac. Don't take back the Cadillac. Well, no, no,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to take back the Cadillac. But don't worry, Nick.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: We're going to give you a dealer car, a loaner car.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: We're going to give you a used Kia with 200,000 miles.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: But I want the Caddy. I don't want the Kia.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I want the Caddy. Sorry, Nick. How's that working out?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Can't find second gear at this particular point. And he
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: is a sideline cheerleader who looks marvelous when he's got
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a bunch of thoroughbreds out there. Now that the horsepower
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is not the same, it's a bit of a problem.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Bit of a problem there. The hot seat has his
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: name embroidered on it. Here's the other part of this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: that is fascinating. You are damned if you do, and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you're damned if you don't. You talk about being caught
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: between the devil and the deep blue sea. And I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: actually agreed with what Nick Sirianni did here. The execution
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Like, the Cowboys got ripped, and everyone's all
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: up in arms. Oh, my God, how could you give
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the Ravens an opportunity there at the end? Well, the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Ravens in that game, if I remember, I think they
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: had one timeout, I believe. They had one timeout. Now,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in this game, Jacksonville did not have any timeouts. But, yeah,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, you kick it off and you figure
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: they're not. As long as you just make a tackle,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: make a tackle on special teams, don't let the guy
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: run 50 yards, you win the game. They screwed up.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Like if I was Siri, I'd fire my special teams coach.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, all right, get out of here. All right,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: last thing, speaking of being fired, do you think Robert
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Salah is saying, hey, can I go back to the Niners?
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: No?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Why can't I go back to the Niners? So to
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Nashville where C.J. Stroud threw for 261 yards, a touchdown,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: ran for another, and the Texans snapped that winless start
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: as they pulled off a route or route, depending on
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: where you grew up, of the Titans, 26-3. The old
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Houston Oilers beat what became of the Houston Oilers, the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans there. The better story is in the losing
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: locker room. So Tennessee quarterback Cam Ward was asked if
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: he's gotten used to losing, which is the ultimate gotcha question.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Isn't that a great gotcha question? Yeah. You know, you
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: jock sniffers don't like that. Oh, it's me. I don't
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: like my quarterback to answer any question like that. Anyway,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so he was asked the question, Cam Ward, if he's
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: gotten used to losing. Cam Ward responded by saying, quote, no,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not a loser. The record may say that we
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: are right now, you think. But, Cam Ward said, at
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, you've got to go through
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: some stuff to try to get wins. Okay, just keep
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: telling yourself that, Cam. Now, Robert Sala said that he
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is not giving any thought to benching Cam Ward, despite
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: an 0-5 start for the Tennessee Titans, one of the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: worst teams. Well, they're right there. I mean, they can't
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: get worse than 0-5, the Tennessee Titans. So the question,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: is Robert Sala showing admirable loyalty to Titans quarterback Cam Ward,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: or is this just blind faith And someone that doesn't
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: deserve it. Like, does he? Unless you're named Ward or
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you're related to him somehow. I get that if you're related,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: but my God. So the Titans hired Robert Sala and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Brian Dayball to repair Cam Ward. Two-man operation. You got
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: supposedly the genius. You all think Brian Dayball's a genius
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of X's and O's, and he played up the story
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: how he wanted Cam Ward with the Giants and all
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: this bull crap. Then you've got Mr. Positivity, Mr. Sunshine
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and Zippity-Doo-Dah, Zippity-Day, and Robert Sala, Mr. Motivational Speaker. So
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: these two guys are going to light this guy on fire.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: He's going to be so good. Everyone will be saying, oh,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: my God, why was Cam Ward so bad before? So
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: these two idiots get together, and Robert Sala and Brian Dayball,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to repair the quarterback. And they should have gone. There's
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: a local car dealership in SoCal. It's called Toyota of Orange.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And they have a jingle. You won't get a lemon. Well, no.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: The Titans got a lemon. They got a lemon. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: it's non-refundable. Their warranty, they don't have a warranty. They're cooked.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: You won't get a lemon. You got a lemon. You
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: got a lemon. Cam Ward is being evaluated like a quarterback. Shocking.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Because guess what? He's a quarterback. That's what he is.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And yet, when you look at the amount of opportunity
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: that he's getting, And you look at the performance that
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: he's providing, the Tennessee Titans. Cam Ward, former top pick
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: in the draft. This is turning into some kind of
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: government infrastructure project. So much money and time has been spent.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And it's just sucking all the money up. The man
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: is 3-19 as a starting quarterback. That is a 136
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: winning percent. He's worse than anyone in the history of
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the NFL. He's worse than the gold standard, which has
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: always been Jamarcus Russell. This guy makes Jamarcus Russell look
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: like a championship-level quarterback. Holy crap. Now, Robert Sala calls
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: it development. What we call it on this side of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the microphone is protecting the receipt. That ownership's like, we
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: gotta make this work. This is a very expensive purchase.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: We threw away an entire season of football to suck
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: more than everyone else to get the top pick, and
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: this is our prize. Cam Ward has been like a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: barnyard kitty cat, a stray kitty cat. Here kitty cat,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: here kitty cat, here kitty cat. Yeah. Nine lives for
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Cam Ward. Nine freaking lives. He could throw interceptions into
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the Cumberland River there. And Robert Sala would say, oh,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a teachable moment. Even Danny in Nashville,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: one of the great Titan apologists, is done with Cam Ward.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: You know it's bad when Titan fanboy Danny from Nashville
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: has given up on Cam Ward. But if this experiment
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: were a restaurant, think of Cam Ward if he was
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: like a restaurant. The health department would have shut down
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the restaurant and put a sign on the front door saying, Vermin, vermin, vermin,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away. At least
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Cam Ward gave us the great drop, we ass, when
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: asked about the Titans' performance. Now you can change it
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to me ass. You can change it as well. It
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like to comment
• 25:32

  Speaker 1: the Day. And here's the Malheur Riddle of the Day.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: California regulators recently ordered a San Francisco entertainment company to
• 25:59

• 26:06
  Speaker 1: regulators recently ordered a San Francisco-based entertainment company to stop
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: staging unsanctioned human versus blank cage fights. That is the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Maller Riddle of the Day. The answer, we'll get to it,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we'll do it next.

  Speaker 1: open up the always popular Instant Advice Line. But on
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the X Machine, you want to answer the Riddle of
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the Day, it's at Ben Mallard. That's at Ben Maller. Lorena,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: FSR Tech Queen. And Koopa Loop at a Bronco fan.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: That's a Bronco fan. Your comments can and will be
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: used against you in the court of sports radio. So
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: please act accordingly. Back to it. I did want to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: mention last hour we teased this. We didn't pay it off.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I want to compliment the Yankees. The Yankees did something
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that is very unusual for the times that we're in.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: We live in the era where teams try to find
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: ways to ban sports fans for doing inappropriate things at games.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: You're banned for life! Life! We're going to use facial
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: recognition to keep you from paying $ 12 for a little
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: bag of popcorn. It's rather hilarious when you think about
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: how everything is in modern times. They gouge you and
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. And listen, I love my sports, but
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: it's pretty ridiculous how expensive everything has become. And so
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I bring that up. The Yankee fan, you might remember
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: last week, the Yankee game, Anthony Volpe had hit what
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be a big home
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: run for the Yankees. They went to the instant replay
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and they determined, wait a minute, that ain't a home run.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: The fan reached over the fence. Whoa, whoa. Well, it
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: turns out that the Yankee fan who interfered with Anthony
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Volpe's fly ball in Game 3 of the ALDS is
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: not going to be banned for life from Yankee Stadium.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: There'll be no further punishment. He got a police escort
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: out of Yankee Stadium almost 30 years after Jeffrey Mayer.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: interfered with derrick jeter's fly ball against baltimore in the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: 1996 american league championship series those are those of you
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that are old remember that play jeffrey mayor's all grown
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: up now but no additional punishment so that's good Time
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: now for the riddle of the day. California regulators recently
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: ordered a San Francisco-based entertainment company to stop staging unsanctioned
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: human versus blank cage fights. All right, let's see. Does
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: anyone know the answer here? Late Night Drug Tester says
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: human versus weasel fights. All right. Femi got it right.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Bad job by him. Alf the Alien O'Piner says human
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: versus pooper scooper is the answer. What else do we have?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Page down. I can't read that. Tree from Chicago says, man,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Benny Kim award takes are becoming legendary there. Me ass.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, Tree. We love you, man. Sorry
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: about your Bears, Tree. What happened to setting the record
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: for points? Let's guess that's not going to happen. Moose
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Donovan McNabb randomly guessed by
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Michael in Tulsa. FergDog says, human versus street feces matchups. Well,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that happens all the time in California these days. What
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: else do we have? Page down. Human versus Shanahan from
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Analog Al. Tasmanian Devils from Doc Dan. That's his answer.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Mike the Leprechaun says, unsanctioned fights versus Marcel. What else
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: do we have? Bears. Bears guessed by Donkey Sausage. Giant
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Tortoise from Timmy from Busco, Indiana. I liked that Timmy
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: added some AI. Thank you for that. What else do
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: we have? Eileen's going in San Francisco with human versus
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Chucky cage fights as his answer. What else do we have?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Mel Mac. Cat Eaters, guessed by JT the Wingman. The
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: shots fired at Alf. Elon Musk, guessed by Sir Smokes-A-Lot.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: All right. Do you have the answer? Do you have
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the answer? The reign of California regulators recently ordered a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: San Francisco-based entertainment company to stop staging unsanctioned human versus
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: blank cage fights. Food. I was going to go with food.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: Food.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: All right. Is food, survey says?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: The correct answer would be robots.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: No.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Not allowed. Unsanctioned. Human versus robot cage fights. The futuristic
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: freak show on September 18th. Some social media influencer you've
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: never heard of entered a cage battle. Three humanoid robots.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: The organizers billed it as the world's first human versus
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: robot fight. And one opponent was six foot tall, roughly
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: 200 pound robot, advertised as capable of delivering kicks with
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: 850 pounds of force. Now, the person that founded the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: company was very excited that California regulators threatened to put
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the person in criminal trouble if they went ahead with
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: these fights, said that we have made it, boys. All right. Now,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: we've made it because we have Dick and Dayton calling up. Hello, Dick.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Dixter.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Ben and crew. How are you?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Watson, but
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: not Deshaun Watson. What happened there, Dixon?
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: No, I don't understand. They just fell apart or something.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: I was so mad at them.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Well, they never showed up, but you lose to the Jets.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You scored 12 points. I know there was a rainy
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: weather and all that, Dixon. I don't know if you
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: saw the game or not, but it was raining and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: it was not great conditions. It was wet, and still,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: you've got to beat the Jets. I thought the Browns
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: had changed, Dick.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, they'll be okay. I think they're going to
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: be okay. But I was surprised. I like when the Bengals,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: that one pass he threw the chase, it was about
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: 50 yards, and the defense came through. Of course, everybody's excited.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I think the Guardians are going to make it. I
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: really do.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: We have to make a bet. If it's Guardians and
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Dodgers in the World Series, we're going to have to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: make a wager, Dick.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: We'll have to bet something big, big, big, big for sure. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: In Ohio State, my cousin, he lives in Texas. He
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: calls me. He's from Cleveland.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:00

• 35:27
  Speaker 1: You changed your phone number. You changed your phone number.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: If you would have done that.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Well, you didn't give me your number, so I couldn't
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 35:34

• 35:37
  Speaker 6: a big star now.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. I would have done it, but
• 35:41

  Speaker 6: The minute I get a job, the minute I save
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: up $ 2, 000, I am going to freaking Vegas, and you
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: better have the meet and greet there again. It doesn't
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: cost $ 2, 000.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't cost you $ 2, 000 to go to Vegas.

  Speaker 4: To pay for a hotel.

  Speaker 1: don't have bed bugs.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: I ain't going to be at a crappy one. You
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: know what I know? You might get a hooker or
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: some crap there.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: That's what he needs the two grand for. Okay, yeah, yeah, well.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, Blair, the hookers, it's not legal in Vegas.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: You've got to go out to Pahrump, where Art Bell
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: used to work. That's where it's legal. Harumph's like a
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: 45-mile drive north of Vegas.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Or maybe, maybe if I save enough, $ 3, 000, $ 4, 000.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Blair walks into a brothel?
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: One walks into a Vegas, Las Vegas game, and they're
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: playing like the Bills or something or the Patriots. That

  Speaker 6: would be fun next year.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You would enjoy that?
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: If you have a meet and greet. If I'm working, absolutely.

  Speaker 1: willing to host us, we'll do it again next year.

• 36:57
  Speaker 1: wonderful time.
