  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We start out just adjacent to Puget Sound. And turn
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: out the lights on the Seahawks offense. What was that? Man,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that was very enjoyable. Got to tell you, some of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: these Monday night games, you're like, I don't know about that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: This was a good one. What was the final part,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: final paragraph of week eight, the storybook of In the NFL,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams driving the Bears jamboree into the Pacific Northwest there,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a little wrestling match with Sam Darnold and the Seahawks.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: You had the Bickersons, Troy Aikman, and Joe Buck. I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: love how everyone's like, oh, man, they look like they
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: really hate each other. They've always looked like they hate
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: each other. Even when they were in their heyday at
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Fox and their salad days, they looked like they despised
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: each other. Now you're, oh, my God, they look like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: they don't like each other. They look the same to me.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe my TV is broken, but they look exactly the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: same to me. My consultant, Stevie Meatballs, he said they
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: look the same too. So there they were on ABC
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: calling the game. Aikman and Buck are right there. I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this or not. Maybe you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: were not watching. I don't know what the hell else
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you were doing, but that's your thing, not my thing.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams came out, and you talk about shoving it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: down the throat of the once-proud Seahawks. They've actually changed
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: their name now to Seachumps is their new nickname there.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Over an eight-minute drive, matriculating the ball down the field
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears on that opening touchdown drive. Jeffrey Simmons,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the big news of the last week, that transaction happened.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: As he entered the transfer portal coming over from the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, he went out and dominated defensively. The Bears
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: curb stomped Seattle 34-17. 34-17 the final. It could have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: been worse in the Monday night game as Caleb Williams
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: was more of a game manager. In this one, he
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: had 247 yards, completed 71% of his passes, did not
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: turn the ball over. And Chicago getting not one, not two,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: but three. DeAndre Swift, touchdown runs, short touchdown runs. So
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the Bears are back at 6-2. And in that loaded division,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: when you look at Minnesota as a paper Viking, they're
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: not legit. The Lions are coming around a little bit.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And you look around, there's a Green Bay. There's a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: lot going on there. The better story, though, is in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. I'm old enough to remember when
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Seattle had a winning record. They don't have a winning
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: record right now. They're 500. Stuck in the middle of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the bell curve. The once Super Bowl champions proving more
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and more like that was a fraudulent Super Bowl that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was fueled by a bogus two-point conversion that the NFL
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: gave Seattle that they did not deserve. And they're playing
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like frauds. That is hot take validation, by the way.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Hot take validation. We were correct. But Seattle just four
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and four. How embarrassing. This team was in the Super
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Bowl and won, and they're 4-4. That is mortification. Mortification.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It is. Man, what a mess. Well, let's hear from
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the head coach of the Seattle football team, Mr. McDonald,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: who's suddenly not as... great a genius as he once was,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but he's putting on a happy face. Let me guess.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He's going to say his team played hard and I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: really liked my team. We'll be okay. And let's find out.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty, pretty cut and dry. we didn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: do the things on offense that we need to be
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: able to do to, to play Seahawk football. That's the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: time for like studying or is this a, Hey, let's,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: let's make sure we're all on the same page on
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: one accord when we show up on Wednesday and, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: let's go, you know, we don't have time to be
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: looking at our wounds or anything like that. Well, it's, it's,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it's a, it's time to move forward.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So they didn't play Seahawk football. What were they playing?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Brown's football. Was it jets football, Raiders football? It wasn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Seahawk football. So what football were they playing? Does anyone know?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Let me know. Send me a message. All right, so
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: here's the question. Let's get down to the quarterback, because
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: this is the thing nobody wants to address. Nobody has
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the balls to address, but we'll do it. Who cares?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We're not part of the mainstream football cartel that have
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: their little talking points memo. So as we discuss what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: happened in the Monday night game, the question, has Sam
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Darnold turned back into a pumpkin? For the Seahawks. Has
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold turned back into a pumpkin for the Seahawks?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So I've got Stevie Wonder, Thor's hammer, and Peacock. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together. And we
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: are going to scramble some eggs is what we're going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to do. And hopefully not split the ticket. Because you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: hate when that happens. You don't want to split the ticket. So, A,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. I'm going to push back. He is not
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: turning into a jack-o'-lantern, Sam Darnold. He has been a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: jack-o'-lantern all along. So it's not like all of a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: sudden he morphed into somebody. Somebody just kept changing the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: candle in the jack-o'-lantern. But he's always been the same guy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He's always been the same guy. And for some of you,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the low information fan, you drive by and you say, well,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. It's like you drive by the street
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and you look and say, well, that's not bad. But
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: then when you get up close, you realize, well, it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: hollow and rotting. The jack-o'-lanterns, hollow and rotting. Seattle's offense,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that was like a bowl of pumpkin guts in this
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: particular game here as they were stringy, slimy, and nobody
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: really wanted to touch it. Just 252 yards of total
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: offense against the Bears. And that's it. 1 of 11
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: on third down. 1 of 11 on third down. That
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is a 9% success rate. Now, I didn't play in
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the NFL, but I'm told that blows. That blows. But
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: we must address Sam Darnold, who apparently has the Trojan
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: horse virus, if you know what I mean. And Seattle,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I did the math on this, so they're 2-4 in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: games Sam Darnold has started and finished. They're 2-4. That's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a two-game under. 500 record.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks have a perfect record with Drew Locke running
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the operation. But you're not supposed to talk about that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Why would you bring that up? Darnold, supposed to be
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the main event. He had killed all the demons, you
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: told me, you idiots. Oh, yes, Super Bowl champion Sam Darnold. Yes,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: killed all the demons, all the demons. And right now,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the understudy, Drew Locke, who's not even that good... However,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: with the same players around him, the same coaching staff,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke has been a much better, efficient quarterback than
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like paying to see Stevie Wonder and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: discovering that the Stevie Wonder tribute group puts on a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: better show. It's like, well, that's disappointing. I need to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: spend thousands of dollars to watch Stevie Wonder, who's, I guess,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: back on tour or whatever. My God. Sam Darnold's success...
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Whatever success he's had in Seattle, it's pretty obvious, is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a byproduct of Jackson Smith and Jigba. That's it. The
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Venn diagram is practically one circle. And that's all. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: when JSN makes plays, Sam Darnold looks like a functional
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. But we saw in the third quarter and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a chunk in the fourth quarter, in the game Monday night,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the Bears were able to box up Jackson, Smith, and Jigba,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and Sam Darnold might as well have been wearing a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Jets helmet. Might as well have been wearing a Jets
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: helmet watching him go out there. He was lost at sea, Darnold,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: waving his arms, screaming for Baywatch to send a time
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: machine to bring back the 90s version of Pamela Anderson
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: there to rescue Darnold. him get a buoy and rescue
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. It was not good. Not good. Darnold, not
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: exactly the engine. True, true. Driving the Seattle offense. He's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the fuzzy dice that's hanging around there. And Jackson Smith
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and Jigba is the one obviously getting it done. Now, meanwhile,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: on the Chicago side of things, we have a developing
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: situation in the Windy City there as Jeffrey Simmons is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: In his Bears debut, played 48 defensive snaps. This was
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the big move Chicago made with Tennessee. And they claim
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: they're not going F them picks, but they went F
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: them picks. They said, we're not going F them picks. What,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you went F them picks? They went F them picks.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: They traded two first-round picks. That's F them picks to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: get Jeffrey Simmons. And two first-rounders go to the Titans
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: so they can botch those picks. And how did Simmons do?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: He had not one, not two, not three, not four,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: not five. How about six tackles, five pressures that led
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the Bears, two tackles for loss, one sack, one quarterback hit,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: one batted pass, and a partridge in a pear tree.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So he had all that going on. So the question,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: did Jeffrey Simmons, defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons, did Jeffrey Simmons
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: justify the Bears' blockbuster trade, giving up all that draft
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: capital in just 48 defensive snaps? So this was not
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a debut by Jeffrey Simmons. It was more than that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: This was a hostile takeover of the frazzled offensive line
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of the Seattle Seahawks there. So I would like to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: use my Latin, and I beg for you to excuse
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: my Latin here, but this was a Carpe Diem situation.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Seize the day. He seized the day. Big time. And
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it's been said by many wise people over the years
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that you never get a second chance to make a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: first impression. And Jeffrey Simmons... Went out there. He showed
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: up and showed out. It was like he was wearing
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a tuxedo. And he went to Spirit Halloween and he
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: got on sale a hammer. It was Thor's hammer. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: he was carrying that around in his tuxedo. The stats, impressive.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And that's a defensive lineman making a grand entrance. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it's nice to see. Now, I'm not going to sit
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: here and say we're sending him to the haberdashery to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: get a gold jacket. We're not doing that, obviously. However,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Simmons has put the Bears' GPS set down the yellow
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: brick road. So it's down the yellow brick road we go.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And they're skipping towards the Emerald City, which is in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the hood and in the wood and up to no good.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: And that'll be, of course, in early 2027 on Valentine's Day.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But here's what you say about Jeffrey Simmons. Two words.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: As advertised. As advertised. No bait and switch. No bill
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of goods. Chicago ordered a wrecking ball. And they didn't
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: get some rip-off miniature wrecking ball off Teemu. They got
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a real wrecking ball. And it's nice to see. They
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: got an actual wrecking ball. They ordered it, and that's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: what they got. Unlike, not that I'm bitter, that fraud
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett with the Rams. Simmons, it turns out, Jeffrey
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Simmons did not require a six-week orientation program, a medical excuse,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and instructional manual. He didn't need those things. He did not.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: He showed up, punched the clock, and started rearranging the furniture.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: for the Bears, who gave up a lot of goodies
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to get him, and we're all about that. F the draft,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: F them picks. Good for the Bears. That's the way
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to do it. That's the way to do it. You
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: went for it. That's why you pay a premium. It's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: nice when this happens. Meanwhile, the last word, let's go
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to the big picture now for Ben Johnson and the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Bears as they get another win. They're bird-dogging the Vikings.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: In the division and among all the teams, you look
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: at those overall standings in the NFC and the Chicago
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Bears are breathing down the necks of not just the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: top teams in the NFC, but the entire NFL. And
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: you look right now, Buffalo at 6-1. There's a couple
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of teams, Denver, Pittsburgh at 6-2 in the AFC. And
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: then in the NFC, you've got the 49ers and the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Vikings at 6-1, but the Bears at 6-2. And they're
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: lurking in the shadows like the boogeyman out there lurking around.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So the question, though, for Ben Johnson's team, and specifically
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the quarterback, because quarterbacks are more important people. So does
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: this count as a, quote, signature win for Caleb Williams
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and Doberz? So you know I am reluctant to say
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: signature win, and I don't usually do that. On this one, though,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say break out the Hawaiian shirts, get
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the Hawaiian punch, fire up the tiki torches, get that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: going on, go to a tiki bar, pour yourself a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: tropical beverage, and why not? I'm Benny Brightside on this.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It's the island life for me. It's the island life
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: for the Bears. Bears are now 2-0 against the teams
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that played in the Super Bowl last year, Seattle and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: New England, both under the bright lights, the island life,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the bright lights on national television there. So Caleb Williams
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: was a smooth operator. He was a smooth operator for
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the Bears in the Monday night game. And he wasn't
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: cheat code good. We've seen some cheat code stuff. He
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't that good in that department. But it wasn't like
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: he was playing Madden on rookie mode. He just simply
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: avoided butterfingering the game away, making Sam Darnold matriculate the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: ball down the field, which obviously he's incompetent, can't do
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that unless he gets some help. And we saw that
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: on display here. No turnovers, only took, I believe, one sack.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams kept the offense moving down the field. And
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: as a result, Chicago gets itself a peacock victory. So
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the Bears can strut around the barnyard and have those
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: glorious tail feathers spread wide for the entire NFL to admire. Absolutely.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I know Lucky Tony's very happy about this. Lucky Tony's smiling.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, that's my Bears. In fact, he might
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: even stop watching porn online now. He's so excited, at
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: least for a day. He's so excited about the Bears.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They're Lucky Tony. But there they are. Strutting around there. Now,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: of course, they still have to prove this in January,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: which is always the kick to the nuts. They have
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to show that this is legit. But we have the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: show to do today, as we like to say. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: since we have a show to do today, this was
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a bedazzled rhinestone-covered victory for Caleb Williams and the Bears.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: You can paint your nails with that kind of win
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: for Chicago there. The reigning champions were totally zonked. In
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the second half, really most of this game, it was
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: a domination. Seattle scored before halftime, but before that, it
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: was a domination situation. And Seattle looked like somebody slipped
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: some NyQuil into their Gatorade. They played like, eh, it's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a little off, just a little bit off there. So
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: this does count, again. Benny Brightside, signature win for the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Bears to go and win there. Caleb Williams, again, he
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: didn't paint the Mona Lisa. He did not have to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: paint the Mona Lisa in this game. He just stayed
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: inside the lines, just paint inside the lines, and he
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: didn't spill the paint on the carpet. didn't get any
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: pain on the dog or his shirt or anything like that,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and so Chicago wanders away back to the Midwest feeling
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: pretty good about themselves. Alright, it is the Ben Maller show.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about that? Anything else regarding this?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: How about Seattle needs to go out and trade for
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver? Sam Darnold cannot uplift the players around him.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: He is not that quarterback. He's not. And if you
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: don't have great players around him, you're porked. And he
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: is El Capitan of the Vomit Comet, Sam Darnold. And
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: it's so dependent on Jackson, Smith, and Jigba, and say, well, everyone's, hey, Maller,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: everyone needs a top receiver, dummy. I understand that. But
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: there are quarterbacks who can uplift players, can elevate players,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and Darnold's definitely not, from what I've seen, not that guy.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on

• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: get anywhere else.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: on how football really works.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: have to replace them.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Our lead is from the high-speed sports wire, where estranged
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: 49er wide receiver Brandon Iook. Remember him? Yeah, he had
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of good games, and the Niners gave him
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a big contract, and then he decided, ixnay on the football, eh,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'm out. Well, Brandon Iook has decided that he apparently
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: wants back in, and if you want to get back
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and you're on the naughty list, who
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: are you going to call? That's right. You contact agent
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus, who's apparently attempting to do the unthinkable, the unimaginable,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to somehow finagle the wide receiver Brandon Iyuk back into
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't know if you saw this or not.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Perhaps not. Brandon Iyuk last played in October of 2024.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but it's now
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: November of 2026. Where has the time gone? That's a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: couple years. He had his leg all torn up. Tore
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: up his ACL, his MCL, his meniscus. It was like
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: pulled pork. And San Francisco then voided... Like $ 27 million
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of money. $ 27 million of guaranteed money. That happened in
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the summer of 2025 after the wide receiver decided that
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: he did not want to speak to the coaches of
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the front office and said, I'm out of here. I'm
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: not going to check in. It's kind of like how
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you have probation and you have to check in with
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: your probation officer. He didn't want to check in with
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: his probation officer. He said, screw that. I'm not doing that.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So the 49ers put him in contractual purgatory, and that's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: where he has been on the reserve left squad. Essentially
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: went AWOL. He went AWOL. And in order to get back,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: he has to first petition the NFL for reinstatement. Before
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: he can return, there's a lot of paperwork. It's a bureaucracy.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: The NFL is a giant bureaucracy. It's a multi-billion dollar
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: bureaucracy with a lot of red tape. A lot of
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: corporate weasels that are involved in the NFL. Back in
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the old days when it was run by gamblers, you
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: want to play? All right, here's a uniform. Here's some
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: shoulder pads. Go out there and play. Knock yourself out. Now,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you've got a petition for reinstatement under the NFL. The
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: 49ers still control... Technically, Brandon Iorks writes. But it's unlikely
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that there's much that's going to happen in terms of
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a trade. This has got to happen quick because the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: trade deadline is one week from today. Today, the third
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: day of November. So you've got another week to go here.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: One week. And he has to get the red tape done.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: And then the Niners have to decide what they want
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to do. There were some efforts made. allegedly to trade him,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: but he was such a knucklehead on social media and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: all that, didn't work out. So most likely the scenario
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: is that if he does come back, he's going to
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: end up being released by the 49ers and then will
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: be free to roam around the NFL. But that's a
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Can
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: super agent Drew Rosenhaus rescue 49ers wide receiver, I say
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that loosely, Brandon Iook, save his career, or is this
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: mission impossible? Has he burned all the bridges, Brandon Iook?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: And this is just a big waste of time. So
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I've got Mr. T, Plinko, and Oxalato. And we will
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we are going
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to go up the mountain. Not around the mountain. We're
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: going to go up the mountain is what we're going
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to do. Now, number one! Number one! Number one! Number one!
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Number one! Number one!
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Number one!
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: All right, Brandon Iook just pulled off one of the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: great acts of career self-sabotage. They will write books. They
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: will teach classes on how incompetent this particular human being is.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: In NFL history, there have been a few players that
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: stand out. In my time, I've been doing this a
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: long time, Le'Veon Bell... Sitting in a hammock. wearing a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: banana hammock, drinking cocktails in Miami rather than playing on
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the franchise tag, sitting out an entire year. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum! And
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: this is actually more impressive because this knucklehead, Iook, somehow
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: ended up costing himself almost double what Le'Veon Bell, I
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: know because of inflation and all that, $ 27 million. I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: believe Le'Veon Bell was like $ 12 to $ 13 million, somewhere
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in that area, back years ago. A $ 27 million in
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: guaranteed money that was yours. All you have to do
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: is return a phone call, return a text. That's it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: And he just ditched meetings. He ghosted. He ghosted the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: team like it was a relationship. And he was dosed.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: You know, somehow, you know, he goes to check or whatever.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: The chick goes to you. He goes to the team.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Who does that? All right. So first, we mentioned he
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: has to get reinstated. to the NFL before the 49ers
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: can do anything in terms of releasing him or trading
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: him and all that stuff. Now, Kyle Shanahan and John
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Lynch have made it perfectly clear, perfectly clear, that he
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: will never play another snap in the Bay Area. That
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: means he will not be practicing near the electronic substation there.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So that's good news for him. Shanahan shutting down a reunion. Remember,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the Niners needed some help at wide receiver. And they said, yeah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: we'd rather we'd rather sign somebody out of the Winnipeg
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Blue Bombers practice squad than this guy. All right. So
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: now that said, I am betting on this having a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Disney like happy ending for the player because Drew Rosenhouse,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about this when I was making the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: long drive in. to the studio here. And Drew Rosenhaus
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: is the football equivalent of Scott Boras. You know, if
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: you're a baseball person, Scott Boras is the most powerful
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: person in baseball. He's more powerful than the commissioner. Now,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus is not more powerful than the commissioner of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the NFL. However, in the cartoon bubble in my head,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to date myself, but this is... He's the Mr.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: T of the NFL. Drew Rosenhaus is the Mr. T. Meaning,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: if you have a problem... If no one else can help,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: if you can find him, maybe, maybe you can hire
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the A-team led by Drew Rosenhaus. And Drew will spray
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: some WD-40 on the whatchamacallit, and he'll start the wheels
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: moving a little bit. And he has negotiated some absolute
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: impossible deals. Drew Rosenhaus in his time in the NFL
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: from his compound in Miami. Now, that said, this is
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: one of those deals that is going to require a priest,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: a magician, and possibly a presidential pardon to get this done.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But ultimately, I believe it will happen. Not that it
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: should happen, because if you're complete knucklehead and dingleberry, it's
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: not for you. If you can't follow basic instructions, then
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: go get a real job. It appears that Brandon Icke's
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: just run out of money, or he's realized that he
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: has no tangible skills other than catching a football, so
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: he might as well go back and play football. Meanwhile,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: to Arizona, we have a changing of the Cardinals. Changing
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of the birds. The Cardinals, who just knocked off the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Dallas football team, have demoted Jacoby Brissett. That means Gardner Minshew.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Minshew Mania! It's back! Gardner Minshew is back as a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the NFL after that dramatic, hair-raising, unbelievable
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: thrill ride of a victory against the Cowboys. Minshew throwing
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three touchdowns, rallying Arizona for
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: a dramatic overtime win. And what a great win that
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: was for Minshew. And rookie Carson Beck You might remember
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: him from college football last year. Carson Beck, he is
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: now the backup. He has been upgraded, while former starter
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett has been demoted to third string, get hemorrhoids
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: on the bench guy. Get some hemorrhoids on the bench,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that's it. Coach Mike LeFleur said he wants Beck, that
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: would be the backup quarterback now, Carson Beck, he wants
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Beck to develop with more reps in practice, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Minshew's first test comes against Seattle. Not looking so tough, Seattle,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: are they? No, not that impressive. They got their pants
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: pulled down by the Bears in the Monday night game.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: All right, here's the question. With Gardner Minshew taking over
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: as QB number one, how is the Cardinal quarterback room
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: looking at this point? So the Cardinals quarterback room, we
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: are heading closer and closer, inch by inch, down the road.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And the Cardinals quarterback room is akin to a curio
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: cabinet at Sotheby's, the auction house. Everything has a price tag.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: You want that quarterback? How much, how much, how much?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: You can get the quarterback. Everything's got a price tag.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Everything is negotiable. Whoever you want, just make an offer.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: The only thing not for sale for the Arizona Cardinals
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: is the illusion that somehow they have one of these
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: guys that knows what they're doing at the quarterback positions. No,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: they don't. No, they don't. So Jacoby Brissett and Gardner
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Minshew can both be yours if the price is right.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is hit that reserve price
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: at the Sotheby's auction house, and you can get either
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: one of those guys. And Jacoby Brissett, he's not really
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: riding the bench. That would be inappropriate to say that
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: he's riding the bench at this point. He has been
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: banished to quarterback Siberia. Hope you enjoy quarterback Siberia. Now, meanwhile,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: they're playing pigskin Plinko. Is what they're doing here with
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. They're dropping chips down the pegboard and they're
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: bouncing around. They're waiting for the right offer. The price
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: is right. Come on down. Showcase showdown. Now, look, we
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: have been very clear over the years that we've done
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: this show that we are. infected with the illness that
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: is Minshew mania. We are fans of Gardner Minshew. We've
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: been clear about that. But we are also realistic. We
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: are realistic about Gardner Minshew. He didn't suddenly become a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. That is not what happened here. He became
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the least objectionable option ever. in a room full of
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: people that you really don't want to play quarterback in
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the NFL. So he's the least bad of bad. You
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: feel me on that?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And Gardner Mischu, he's kind of like the substitute teacher
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that everybody loves. You know that cool substitute teacher that
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: lets you just watch movies all day or play on
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: your phone? That's a cool substitute teacher. And eventually, though, right,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: they become the full-time teacher and then nobody loves them anymore.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well, that's no good. We don't want
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: you as our full-time teacher because you actually have to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: teach us, you know, when you're a sub, you just
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: have us watch movies and all that. And that's it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: And so that's where Gardner Minshew is. And he comes in.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: He's got the mustache. That arrives. He puts on the jorts.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Everyone cheers. The crowd goes wild. And eventually the tent
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: collapses on the circus. And then that's it. All right. Meanwhile,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to L.A., we go injury update. Injury update. Miles Garrett.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: On the comeback trail, I remember when he used to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL and put up great stats on
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a bad Cleveland team. Well, Rams coach Sean McVay confirming
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: that the superstar pass rusher of years gone by, not
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: as a Ram. He used to be good for another team.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: But Miles Garrett is back at practice this week. He
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: missed seven, seven consecutive games. And the Rams will open
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: a 21-0. day practice window, so 21 days to evaluate
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and decide whether they want to take him off injured reserve.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: McVay refusing, of course he is, refusing to commit to
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett playing Sunday against Washington. That would be the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: team formerly known as the Redskins, saying it's a day-to-day approach. Well,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: thank you for that. Thank you for saying nothing. I
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Here's the question. At some point, likely this week,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: if not the week after this, He's going to play.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: So question, what are your expectations for Miles Garrett when
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: he returns to ram it all day and ram it
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: all night? So one word. My expectations are one word. Supernova.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: That's one word. Supernova. That's it. Not good. Supernova. I
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: got to see the ROI, return on investment. And the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Rams have to see the return on investment. The Rams
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: paid big. They thought they were getting a cyborg. And
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: by the way, the guy Jeffrey Simmons, who the Bears
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: gave up multiple picks to get, that guy played like
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a cyborg. Miles Garrett plays like a model. He plays
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: like a model. You got to be a cyborg. You
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: got to go out there. You got to have superhuman strength, speed,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: and stamina. All of that and a bag of chips.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: All of that. And instead, his debut back in Australia
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: was a total abracadabra, now you see me, now you
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: don't situation. Zero tackles. He did a bunch of cardio.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: It was a cardio game for 40 snaps. And Garrett,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: no sacks, obviously played 40 snaps, did nothing. Against the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: 49ers there. You know who else had zero sacks in
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: that game, by the way?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Me.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I had zero sacks. And I am available if the
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Rams want me for the league minimum. For the league minimum,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I am available. So, so far, the Rams, they ordered
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the Supernova. They went online. They clicked the thingamajig. And
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: then they clicked the next day shipping. So they got that.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And then they said, okay, how much? And then they
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: added the taxes and they put their credit card in
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: there and all that. So they ordered the Supernova and
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: they got the Oxalato Nightlight. That's not, no, they wanted
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the Supernova. They didn't want the Oxalato Nightlight, but that's
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: what they got. So the idea was pairing, and I
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm wrong on this, pairing Miles Garrett and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald was supposed to be Andre the Giant and
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Paul Bunyan. terrorizing opposing quarterbacks and all that teaming up
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to form a ambulance chasing billboard law firm garrett and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: donald they can steal that slogan who hurt you who
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: hurt you question mark i see that billboard every city
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: i go to who that and morgan and morgan i
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: see everywhere i go so it's it's pretty crazy anyway
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: uh miles garrett he better come back looking like the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: incredible hulk And if not, he's got some explaining to do.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Not only the Incredible Hulk, he's got to look like
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the Incredible Hulk after somebody stole his parking spot. You've
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: got to earn it, man. I've heard he's enjoyed the L.A. nightlife.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: My moles on the ground there tell me that he's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: been enjoying the social scene in L.A. Don't have much
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: of a social scene in Cleveland, so he's really... Embracing that,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: which is wonderful, hang out with all those blankety blank blanks.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller

  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Here we go. How about that? Here
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: we go.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: This is when Big Ben gets cool.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: No snap judgment. Over to the Koopaloop for the reading
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: of the questions, although it will not sound like he's reading.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Koopaloop.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: And Aaron Glenn says that they are not going to
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: trade Brees Hall. He says they're in the business of
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: keeping good players and he's one of the better players,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: so he'll be here. They've also reportedly rebuffed overtures from
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: teams with Garrett Wilson. Do you think that they're actually
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: not going to trade either of these two guys?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: No. I've learned over the years to never believe what
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: coaches say. They will lie right to your face. I've
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: also had some bosses that will lie right to my face.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: But NFL coaches, do not believe them, Koopaloop. And if
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: somebody comes up with the right amount in terms of
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: trade value... then it'll be an inconvenience for the Jets,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: but they will trade anybody. There's no who's untradeable on
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the Jets. They're the same crappy Jets they've always been.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: Next. Khalil Mack, who I believe is with the Chargers now. Yes,
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: back with the Chargers.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: He was asked about trade chatter surrounding him and his team.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: He said, you've got to be where your feet are, man, ultimately.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. That's what I say. He's 35 years old.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: He's got a few sacks this season.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: Do you think there would be any trade interest in
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Khalil Mack?
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you don't have to give up anything. He's
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: a savvy veteran. You figure for a couple of months
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you can give him some magic dust and you can
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: get a couple of big plays out of him. So
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a mutually beneficial situation.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Next!
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: Larry Zonka posted a picture of him celebrating with a
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: cigar and a drink after the Vikings lost. I believe
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: there are like 24 players left from the 72 Dolphins.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I'm impressed.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: What do you think happens first? They all die or
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: a team wins, you know?
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: They're all, I mean, I hate to say it, but
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: they'll be going across the pearly gates. How'd we do?
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: He passes. That's a winner!
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: Winner, winner, winner!
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Winner, winner, winner! Winner, winner, winner!
