- 0:16Speaker 1: say all the right things and decided case closed. He's
- 0:20Speaker 1: not asking out of the vikings. What is your position
- 0:24Speaker 1: on this? Also? Are you okay with Bill's quarterback Josh
- 0:27Speaker 1: Allen extending his iron Man streak by taking one snap
- 0:32Speaker 1: and then running off the field. Running off the field
- 0:35Speaker 1: for Buffalo and Nick Sirianni says that he has no
- 0:40Speaker 1: regrets about resting the Eagle players. Being healthy, he said,
- 0:45Speaker 1: is a big deal. The Eagles missed a chance at
- 0:47Speaker 1: the number two seed in the NFC. Give me your
- 0:50Speaker 1: reaction to that as well. It's all coming your way
- 0:53Speaker 1: right now. Having wonderful Monday, this fifth day of January.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Here it is our number four. In a purple state
- 1:04Speaker 1: of mind. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of

- 1:20Speaker 1: the economy stupid. Coast to coast, border to border and
- 1:24Speaker 1: beyond on the vast and ferociously powerful microphones of fsre
- 1:31Speaker 1: am monating live from the trail, the vapor trail that
- 1:36Speaker 1: we leave behind from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
- 1:41Speaker 1: as approved by No Stradinis who lives in Seattle or
- 1:47Speaker 1: no strainis not no stra damis he lives somewhere else.
- 1:50Speaker 1: He's dead. And this portion of the Ben Malor Show
- 1:53Speaker 1: made possible in part by our friends at ty Iraq.
- 1:56Speaker 1: For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers like
- 1:59Speaker 1: Dick in Date and Hollering James find the right tires
- 2:02Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
- 2:05Speaker 1: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
- 2:10Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, tire rank dot com the
- 2:13Speaker 1: way the tire buying should be. In Dorko, the comedian
- 2:17Speaker 1: knows that this show is sponsored by DraftKings sportsbook, unofficial
- 2:21Speaker 1: sports betting partner of the NFL and NBA. As our
- 2:27Speaker 1: friend the Leprechawn would say, right now, use that promo
- 2:29Speaker 1: code Mallard to claim your special offer at DraftKings again.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Promo code Mallard m A L l E R At DraftKings.
- 2:38Speaker 1: The crown is yours, so our lead this hour is
- 2:40Speaker 1: the NFL regular season is over. Pittsburgh gets the final
- 2:43Speaker 1: playoff spot. They eliminate the Ravens thanks to the idiot kicker.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Idiot kicker for the Ravens. But our lead this hour
- 2:50Speaker 1: from Minnesota. Are the Vikings in the playoffs? Hell no,
- 2:53Speaker 1: they're not in the pluffs, but the Vikings beat the
- 2:55Speaker 1: Packer backups in they close out the regular season nine
- 3:00Speaker 1: and eight. Now the focus, it's all about the future.
- 3:03Speaker 1: It's all about the future. No, if you've not been
- 3:05Speaker 1: following along, much of the scuttle butt has been about
- 3:09Speaker 1: the star receiver in Minnesota who's not very happy right
- 3:13Speaker 1: now and could be with your team, could be with
- 3:16Speaker 1: your team if the price is right. So wide receiver
- 3:19Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson issued a public decree of support for quarterback
- 3:25Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy despite the Vikings getting substandard quarterback play all season.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Jefferson said, quote, I would love for him meeting McCarthy
- 3:38Speaker 1: to be the quarterback show everybody. He is that number
- 3:43Speaker 1: one guy. That's a quote from Justin Jefferson. Vikings are
- 3:49Speaker 1: rumored to be considering an upgrade from the down Raid
- 3:53Speaker 1: at quarterback, although many wonder how much of an upgrade
- 3:56Speaker 1: a guy like Alligator Arms Murray of the Cardinals would
- 4:00Speaker 1: be he's expected to go into the transfer portal out
- 4:04Speaker 1: of Arizona as the game of musical chairs will begin
- 4:07Speaker 1: soon enough, as we have the playoffs starting next week
- 4:12Speaker 1: next week, So that is a good jumping off point.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question many so called experts, many
- 4:22Speaker 1: people saying that Herbert Justin Jefferson had to say, and
- 4:26Speaker 1: he said all the right things, and they've now decided
- 4:28Speaker 1: the case is closed. The case is closed. He's not
- 4:33Speaker 1: asking me out from the vikings, what is your position
- 4:38Speaker 1: on the future of Justin Jefferson and what is your
- 4:41Speaker 1: position on all of this? So I've got bedtime, Lullaby, Mona,
- 4:46Speaker 1: Lisa and Feline and we will combine all of these
- 4:52Speaker 1: things together and we're going to make some fresh baba
- 4:56Speaker 1: ganoosh is what We're gonna make, delicious baba ganoosh. Get
- 4:59Speaker 1: the eggplant ready for the baba ganoosh. So to lead off,
- 5:02Speaker 1: we we do not buy that this ends anything. We don't.
- 5:08Speaker 1: It's not our first rodeo. We've been to the rodeo
- 5:10Speaker 1: a few times here and this is a campaign stop
- 5:14Speaker 1: by Justin Jefferson. At the diner. You know, it's like
- 5:18Speaker 1: you eat the half of tamali, eat half of tamali,
- 5:22Speaker 1: and you promise you're gonna fix the infrastructure. Everything's gonna
- 5:24Speaker 1: be good. There have been presidential candidates that have lost
- 5:28Speaker 1: elections because they didn't know how to eat food. There
- 5:31Speaker 1: was a famous star I heard years ago, and I
- 5:33Speaker 1: was in school about guy ran for president reelection and
- 5:38Speaker 1: he lost votes because he went to eat tamali's and
- 5:42Speaker 1: he didn't know that you're supposed to take, you know,
- 5:44Speaker 1: unwrapped the tamali and are you kidding? Yeah, yeah, I
- 5:47Speaker 1: don't forget who I was years ago, but the guy
- 5:50Speaker 1: bit into the Tamali with the husk on the Tomali.
- 5:53Speaker 1: It's like, wait, dumb Anyway, I don't know why that
- 5:57Speaker 1: popped into my head. It just random thought popped in
- 5:59Speaker 1: my head as I mentioned Tamale. And when you hear Tamali,
- 6:02Speaker 1: that's what I see it, Tomali. I hear Tomali. It
- 6:04Speaker 1: was Gerald Ford. By the way, how old that's like
- 6:07Speaker 1: the seventies, right, my seventies six? Holy crap? Okay, anyway,
- 6:12Speaker 1: all right, listen, but this is the public versus private
- 6:16Speaker 1: debate and all that stuff. It's weasel stuff, is what
- 6:18Speaker 1: I call pop goes Louise All thinking this story is over,
- 6:24Speaker 1: You're admitting you're glible. It's similar to believing that you
- 6:28Speaker 1: like what you hear in a in a press conference
- 6:31Speaker 1: is legit, Like these comments are a bedtime lullaby, Twinkle twinkle,
- 6:37Speaker 1: little star, public versus private. Yet again, and so this
- 6:41Speaker 1: is this is where you're smiling at the voters and
- 6:44Speaker 1: yet you're cutting deals in the back room. And you
- 6:48Speaker 1: don't torture your image. You do not tortu your image
- 6:52Speaker 1: with the fan base. Yeah, that's the rule number one.
- 6:54Speaker 1: So you say all the right things publicly and then
- 6:57Speaker 1: privately you take meetings and you're like, eh, I don't
- 7:00Speaker 1: know if I want to be here. I don't know
- 7:02Speaker 1: about that. And and listen, you look at jefferson situation.
- 7:05Speaker 1: He's being paid like an alph and with JJ McCarthy
- 7:10Speaker 1: at quarterback, he has turned into an omega. He had, now,
- 7:14Speaker 1: what's my evidence? Last nine games? Jefferson played the last
- 7:19Speaker 1: nine games. He had as many receiving touchdowns as I had,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and you had nothing. He had zero. As Jim Moore,
- 7:27Speaker 1: our old coach who used to work, he couldn't do
- 7:30Speaker 1: Diddley pooh in that offense getting in the end zone
- 7:34Speaker 1: and even after a relatively big game for the Vikings
- 7:37Speaker 1: to close out in losing. See they had a winning record,
- 7:39Speaker 1: they didn't make the pluffs which a losing season. So
- 7:42Speaker 1: had one hundred one yards on eight catches justin Jefferson,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and he still averaged four point one catches per game
- 7:50Speaker 1: and forty four point three yards per game the last
- 7:54Speaker 1: nine weeks of the regular season. That is not super stardom.
- 7:58Speaker 1: That is back up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, is
- 8:02Speaker 1: what that is. So the smart money says that the
- 8:04Speaker 1: Pirates will be circling. The Pirates will be circling, and
- 8:08Speaker 1: keep your bingo card ready, and teams like the Chiefs
- 8:12Speaker 1: and the Chargers will be plundering at sea trying to
- 8:17Speaker 1: loot the Viking ship. What they will be doing, well,
- 8:20Speaker 1: we'll see what this happens. It's not over. It's just
- 8:22Speaker 1: whispering right now, just a little whispering. We'll keep an
- 8:25Speaker 1: eye it. Now to Buffalo, about to annoy Derek, the
- 8:29Speaker 1: Bill's Monster and the Bill's Mafia. Guys that listen to
- 8:32Speaker 1: the show. Felexus, America's favorite drag queen, caller will not
- 8:35Speaker 1: be happy with me. But Josh Allen took the first
- 8:38Speaker 1: snap of the Bill's blowout win over the Jets. Suck, Suck, suck.
- 8:43Speaker 1: That extended his consecutive game started streak to one hundred
- 8:48Speaker 1: and twenty two. I believe is the number. And that
- 8:51Speaker 1: was it. He jogged off the field and said, my
- 8:54Speaker 1: time here is done. You other losers you get to play.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I am too important to risk my body and play
- 9:01Speaker 1: against the Jets.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And that was that.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Backup Mitch Trubisky came in and took over. So the question,
- 9:07Speaker 1: are you okay with Bill's quarterback and former MVP's not
- 9:12Speaker 1: winning it this year? Are you okay with Bill's quarterback
- 9:14Speaker 1: Josh Allen extending his iron man streak by taking one snap?
- 9:20Speaker 1: Not two, not three, not four, not five. I'm not
- 9:24Speaker 1: getting one snap. So the answer is a hard no
- 9:30Speaker 1: capital and capital.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Oh.
- 9:33Speaker 1: This was a banana peel moment for Josh Allen. He
- 9:36Speaker 1: slipped on the banana peel. Now, this is not the
- 9:38Speaker 1: first time he's done this. In fact, in many ways,
- 9:41Speaker 1: this has become standard operating procedure for Josh Allen. It
- 9:44Speaker 1: doesn't make it right. One snap, that's it. That's one
- 9:49Speaker 1: ceremonial toe dip into the pool. That's it. That's that's
- 9:54Speaker 1: not toughness that you think iron Man streak. It's like
- 9:58Speaker 1: getting a marathon on metal. For standing near the starting line,
- 10:03Speaker 1: they give you a medal congratulations on that. It's silly.
- 10:06Speaker 1: It's really in many ways fraud and loops. Just the
- 10:10Speaker 1: little loophole that you worked through, and it's like it belongs.
- 10:14Speaker 1: It's flimsy, belongs like something they would serve in a
- 10:17Speaker 1: store at Halloween, like Spirit Halloween, Like the costumes are
- 10:21Speaker 1: really not made with the greatest materials and all that stuff.
- 10:24Speaker 1: So and I'm not going to go stolen valor, although
- 10:26Speaker 1: you could argue that Brett Farve if he does break
- 10:29Speaker 1: the record, the real iron Man streak, the hard way,
- 10:34Speaker 1: was done by Brett farv or Farvara back in the
- 10:38Speaker 1: day when men were men, they had hair on their
- 10:40Speaker 1: chest and quarterbacks actually got hit the wussification of the NFL.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Brett farv never think about this. He never took one
- 10:48Speaker 1: of these dopey ceremonial snaps, which which the quarterback of
- 10:51Speaker 1: the Bills, Josh Allen, is mastered. He never did a
- 10:55Speaker 1: one snap exit to extend his iron Man streak, Brett
- 10:59Speaker 1: far if he didn't do it. In fact, I remember
- 11:01Speaker 1: I may or may not have been working here. Don't
- 11:04Speaker 1: tell anybody, but the idea was floated late in his
- 11:09Speaker 1: career with the Minnesota Vikings. They said, hey, Bret, why
- 11:12Speaker 1: don't we just start you and that won't take you out?
- 11:15Speaker 1: And the Viking, I don't know, Fret Farv refused, but
- 11:17Speaker 1: the Vikings said, we're not doing that. That's phony. Now
- 11:21Speaker 1: Here we are, all these years later, the Buffalo Bills
- 11:23Speaker 1: that we like phony. We love phony. We're the Buffalo Bills,
- 11:27Speaker 1: and we like bogus numbers. We do now. Brett Favre
- 11:31Speaker 1: streak ultimately did end because he couldn't play because he
- 11:35Speaker 1: injured his shoulder, not because he took a token snap
- 11:40Speaker 1: like Josh Allen. And this was the total me guy move,
- 11:44Speaker 1: the total me guy moved by Josh Allen. Shameless stat padding.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Lebron was doing this with some of his records with
- 11:52Speaker 1: the Lakers. It's embarrassing what it is protecting an irrelevant
- 11:56Speaker 1: record like it's the Mona Lisa at the Louver, Like
- 11:59Speaker 1: what do you do you read the room? If you're
- 12:02Speaker 1: streak your iron man streak needs legal gymnastics to keep
- 12:07Speaker 1: the thing going. It's not really a streak, it's not.
- 12:11Speaker 1: It's like a typo in the Media Guide, not that
- 12:13Speaker 1: they really make those anymore, the online Media Guide. All right,
- 12:17Speaker 1: last thing, the Felladelphia. We go where Fried Daddy hangs out,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and just across the Delaware River there you've got our
- 12:25Speaker 1: friend or the man, the myth legend, Jonathan and Delaware
- 12:29Speaker 1: they're all there. So Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, Fats and Phill.
- 12:34Speaker 1: You see Fats if you have to see the video
- 12:35Speaker 1: on X to celebrate over the holidays. Fats the legendary
- 12:39Speaker 1: Eagle fan member of the Mallain Militia. On a very
- 12:42Speaker 1: cold day, he did a plunge, an Arctic plunge into
- 12:47Speaker 1: the water there at his home, and he screamed my
- 12:50Speaker 1: name prior to that. It's it's literally if you go
- 12:53Speaker 1: to my Twitter or x page whatever, it's at the
- 12:56Speaker 1: very top. That's dedication. Fats is the guy during the
- 12:59Speaker 1: pandem that lit himself on fire and screamed the name
- 13:03Speaker 1: of the show while the draft was going on. He's
- 13:08Speaker 1: a he's an interesting character anyway. The Eagles, Nick Sirianni
- 13:11Speaker 1: was was not really worried about second guessing himself, because
- 13:15Speaker 1: coaches never second guessed themselves.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Uh, he was not.
- 13:19Speaker 1: The Eagles played their backups intentionally and then lost to
- 13:23Speaker 1: the Commanders. And now the reason this is the story
- 13:25Speaker 1: is that while Sirianni said, you know, I'm gonna I'm
- 13:28Speaker 1: gonna opt to rest my guys, the team had an
- 13:31Speaker 1: opportunity to get the number two the number two seed
- 13:36Speaker 1: in the NFC, and well, I don't remember the gonna
- 13:42Speaker 1: deviate from my path, you know. The the Bears fell
- 13:45Speaker 1: behind and ultimately ended up losing to the Lions in Chicago, embarrassing,
- 13:52Speaker 1: embarrassed playing their starters. Now, the Eagles, if they had
- 13:57Speaker 1: won their game and the Bears ended up losing their game,
- 14:01Speaker 1: that would have pushed the Eagles into that number two
- 14:03Speaker 1: spot on your playoff card. But Sirianni says he doesn't
- 14:06Speaker 1: think that was fair to the players to have them
- 14:08Speaker 1: play in the second half. Oh, it's so good. We
- 14:13Speaker 1: are at the point now where it's not fair to
- 14:16Speaker 1: have the players play in the second alf, even though
- 14:18Speaker 1: it's there possibly their job to play in the second
- 14:22Speaker 1: It's so great. This NBA level bull crap is what
- 14:26Speaker 1: they says, oh, yeah, so we're going to manage the
- 14:28Speaker 1: load in the NBA. It's very important. Okay, Well now
- 14:31Speaker 1: they're doing it in the NFL. So the Eagles lost
- 14:34Speaker 1: the game, so they were not the number two seed. Instead,
- 14:36Speaker 1: they will play host to the forty nine ers that'll
- 14:40Speaker 1: be coming up this wild card weekend. So the question,
- 14:44Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni says he has no regrets about resting the
- 14:48Speaker 1: Eagle starters even though they're healthy. He said, wow, the
- 14:52Speaker 1: bigger deals, they have to stay healthy. He says, that's
- 14:55Speaker 1: a bigger Give me your reaction to all of this.
- 14:58Speaker 1: So this was not I said, load management is really
- 15:01Speaker 1: not load management. It's a bad job by me. This
- 15:05Speaker 1: was feline capital, f feline coaching. Not a lion or
- 15:11Speaker 1: a tiger. No, no, this is this is not a
- 15:14Speaker 1: rag doll cat. It's not. This is a scaredy cat, scaredy, scaredy, scaredy.
- 15:21Speaker 1: There it is right there. This wasn't chess, it was checkers.
- 15:24Speaker 1: The pieces were glued to the board. Bad job by you.
- 15:27Speaker 1: You had a shot. Now you don't get a buy
- 15:28Speaker 1: as a number two seat. I understand that, and instead
- 15:32Speaker 1: you decide I don't even try. I'm gonna curl up
- 15:35Speaker 1: in the sunbeam and that's it. And football karma. If
- 15:39Speaker 1: you believe in ball, don't lie like Rashid Wallace back
- 15:42Speaker 1: in the day old basketball player. Then the Eagles should
- 15:44Speaker 1: lose to the forty nine ers. They should lose to
- 15:47Speaker 1: the forty nas because of the way they approached this here.
- 15:50Speaker 1: And so sirian is all about healthy. Oh, we have
- 15:53Speaker 1: to be healthy. That sounds a lot to me like
- 15:59Speaker 1: a coach that is afraid. And you could have gotten
- 16:02Speaker 1: conceivingly an extra home game. You know, we'll see how
- 16:05Speaker 1: this all shakes out. It's pretty wide open. It would
- 16:07Speaker 1: appear in the playoffs. And so he essentially told the
- 16:11Speaker 1: locker room, Nick Sirianni, you know, rather than get that
- 16:15Speaker 1: whole extra home game thing, well, just we'll deal with
- 16:17Speaker 1: that later. We'll just do we'll deal with that later.
- 16:20Speaker 1: It's the Hubris, the Hubris with a headset, and so
- 16:25Speaker 1: we'll see how this place. It's kind of like saying, hey,
- 16:27Speaker 1: we're smarter, we know the math, we know the numbers.
- 16:30Speaker 1: And of course your players can go out and get
- 16:32Speaker 1: injured brushing their teeth. They could jam the toothbrush into
- 16:37Speaker 1: the side of their mouth and then need dental work
- 16:40Speaker 1: and not be able to play. It's all about matchups.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It's all about the matchups and all that stuff. So
- 16:45Speaker 1: good luck, and here come the forty nine Ers who
- 16:47Speaker 1: lost their game, got smashed around by Seattle's defense over
- 16:51Speaker 1: the weekend. They are a physical team, seemingly will be
- 16:55Speaker 1: an angry team, and we'll see it now. Last time
- 16:59Speaker 1: the Ego and Niners played in the playoffs, I remember
- 17:01Speaker 1: Rock Perdy got hurt on like the first series of
- 17:04Speaker 1: the game, and then Josh Johnson came in and he
- 17:06Speaker 1: couldn't play. He couldn't play. And so the Eagles also,
- 17:11Speaker 1: if this team comes out and they fall behind earlier
- 17:13Speaker 1: and they don't even play their starters in the playoffs,
- 17:16Speaker 1: I would assume so Nick Sirian is never gonna hear
- 17:19Speaker 1: the end of that. As a good player guy, don't
- 17:21Speaker 1: coach scared. That's coaching scared. I hate it. I've always
- 17:24Speaker 1: hated it. And so we'll see what happens with the
- 17:27Speaker 1: Eagles next week. The Rams played their starters and they
- 17:29Speaker 1: played them all the way into the fourth quarter and
- 17:32Speaker 1: they won. Shocking. Shocking anyway, It is the Ben Mahler Show.

- 35:49Speaker 1: still three and a half. So it's that's where.
- 35:51Speaker 11: That'll that'll probably that'll probably go up. I wouldn't be

- 36:12Speaker 7: by storms. And it's two parts.
- 36:15Speaker 3: I love the.
- 36:16Speaker 11: Disdain in Lorena's voice. When Michael Lefrekhan.

- 36:44Speaker 10: Ben Now, welcome back, Thank you, sir, Thank.
- 36:47Speaker 2: You, sir.
- 36:48Speaker 1: I heard you picked the Ravens.
- 36:49Speaker 7: Is that right?
- 36:49Speaker 1: You picked the Ravens to win the whole thing. I
- 36:50Speaker 1: hope you didn't pick the Ravens. You didn't pick the
- 36:52Speaker 1: Ravens right that.
- 36:53Speaker 10: I was on your show when I did that. But
- 36:55Speaker 10: that's one of a thousand bets I got funny more,
- 36:57Speaker 10: Oh my bag, Yeah, that's going to happen. So I
- 37:00Speaker 10: was pretty impressed with that blond So remembering that from
- 37:02Speaker 10: six months ago, that's pretty impressive.
- 37:05Speaker 1: There all the time on, So he's got nothing else
- 37:08Speaker 1: going on, No.
- 37:09Speaker 10: Exactly right, So Ben, Uh, there's something wrong with a
- 37:12Speaker 10: team that's been based the best team all season long
- 37:16Speaker 10: and they're traveling on the road the Rams.
- 37:19Speaker 2: I can't every year.
- 37:20Speaker 10: It is a problem like that. And like you said,
- 37:22Speaker 10: the Panthers back to back year bad team, and uh,
- 37:25Speaker 10: the Rams. They're basically punished in the Rams. I don't
- 37:28Speaker 10: know if you want to know that.
- 37:31Speaker 1: These they got to change the rule. They've been talked
- 37:33Speaker 1: about this. They've been a bunch of teams I think
- 37:35Speaker 1: it's just been a handful of It seems like a bunch.
- 37:38Speaker 1: That's a bunch, right fives, A bunch that have made
- 37:41Speaker 1: the playoffs with losing records and then they get the
- 37:43Speaker 1: home game. It's always almost always the NFC South, right.
- 37:46Speaker 1: They the Carolina sent it twice, Atlanta did it. I
- 37:49Speaker 1: think Tampa did it one year they were under five
- 37:51Speaker 1: hundred and.
- 37:51Speaker 10: Made the PLAYOFFSA did it, yes, and Ben the MVP
- 37:54Speaker 10: of the league is Drake May.
- 37:56Speaker 2: It's got to be better.
- 37:57Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be closed. It's not. It's
- 38:00Speaker 1: not a lock. It's a pigeons plit a terrible schedule,
- 38:02Speaker 1: and Stafford led the NFL in touchdowns and yardage and
- 38:05Speaker 1: all that, and so he's the better store Stafford's. It's
- 38:09Speaker 1: not decided it.
- 38:10Speaker 8: I agree.
- 38:11Speaker 10: But if you take Drake May out of that lineup
- 38:14Speaker 10: and you're putting Josh talks, come on, you know, if
- 38:17Speaker 10: you'll winning Paul Watt.
