• 2:52
  Speaker 1: who said, hey, what about the King? I said, well, no, DraftKings.

  Speaker 1: So we had some baseball playoffs on Sunday. The Brew
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: crew came back and beat the unstoppable closer, the unstoppable
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Mason Miller. Down go the Padres. So San Diego on
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the brink of elimination. And the Atlanta Braves, they take
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a game from the Dodgers. And the big bad Dodgers now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: They are tied up going back to Atlanta. Chris Sale
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: will be on the mound. That game will be tomorrow
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Braves and Dodgers. Yamamoto versus Sale. That'll be
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: an outstanding pitching matchup. We'll see if it lives up
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to the hype. So that is what's up. Now, as
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: far as the NFL is concerned, Sunday night, eh, Carolina
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: took it to the Lions. But earlier on Sunday, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that's where our lead is going to come from, Orchard Park,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: New York, just outside Buffalo, where the New England Patriots
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills flummoxed after a 29-26 victory as the Patriots,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: down on their luck, bounce back. They get the win here,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: handing the Bills their first loss of the season and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the first defeat in their new stadium there with the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Sherpas in the upper deck. and the people complaining about
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the obstructed view seats in the brand-new stadium and all that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: So their first loss. Now, that was not the story.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So we'll get to the game. The story, though, was
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what happened after the game when Bill Safety, C.J. Gardner-Johnson,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: made a decree. Now, if you've followed the NFL for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a number of years, you know when C.J. Gardner-Johnson says something,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you take it with a grain of salt, but it's entertaining.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So he declared... that the better team lost. What? Whoa! Yes,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the Bills lost to the Patriots, and according to C.J. Gardner-Johnson,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the better team lost. I don't know if you saw
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: this or not. Perhaps not. So Gardner-Johnson mocking the hero
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of the day for the Patriots is Efton Chisholm III,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: which sounds like a golfer on the PGA Tour. And
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: according to Gardner-Johnson, Efton Chisholm III is a practice squad player.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And he ended up catching the game-winning touchdown, as it
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: turned out, for the Patriots. Of course, Chisholm has never
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: actually been on the practice squad. You know who has
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: been on the practice squad? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yes, C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I digress. So that's where we are. Chisholm on the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: 53-man roster. He did make one spectacular one-handed catch. You
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: saw the highlight, or if you're blind, you heard about
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the highlight. 23-yard catch from Drake May late in the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So New England loses, but according to C.J. Gardner-Johnson,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that's it. Better team lost. Buffalo should have won the game.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: He doubled down, saying New England, quote, ain't do S
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: better than us, close quote.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: King's English right there from C.J. Gardner-Johnson. He said, New
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: England ain't do S better than us. He predicted revenge.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: There will be revenge in the rematch. All right. So
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the question. What stands out? Let's just play off this.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: What stands out about safety? C.J. Gardner Johnson saying the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: better team, the Bills, lost to the Patriots. The inferior
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: team beat the better team. All right, so I've got Beehive,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Morning Zoo, and Ike's Sandwich Shop. And we will combine
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and have a big pile
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of jambalaya, a big bowl of jambalaya. We'll get some
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: baba ghanoush, the gabagoo. We'll have some matzo ball soup.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: We'll have some chocolate almonds. We'll just have a great time.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: We'll just be just effing great, just effing great. So
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: first of all, to answer the question, what stands out
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: about C.J. Gardner-Johnson? And his mouth saying the Bills are
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: better than the Patriots, even though they just played and lost.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Doing talk radio, we love CJ. We do. Gardner Johnson
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: is just wonderful. Freaking great. The guy's a human Molotov cocktail.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And it's one of those guys. When I did that job,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: when I was a radio locker room stringer guy, you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: always knew who you needed to get a good soundbite.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Every team's got one or two guys that's the soundbite guy.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You always had to know who the soundbite guy was.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: There was also the repeated guy. When I covered baseball,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: certain guys would just repeat the question in the form
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of an answer. That was always a good guy to have,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: repeated guy. Because if you wanted a certain answer, you'd
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: phrase the question with what you wanted them to say,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and then they would just repeat it. They'd take the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: question mark out of it. But C.J. Gardner-Johnson over the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: years has been great. He's He really is just a firebrand.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And he wakes up and says, how can I annoy
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: someone today? Who can I annoy? I would like to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: annoy someone. Who can I annoy? And it's just great.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And football does need characters like this. It's important. I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: believe it is. Willing to kick the beehive down. That's C.J.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson. He's not afraid to kick the beehive down.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: And Rant and the better team lost the game. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Gold.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Audio gold is what that is. It was the NFL
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: equivalent of what he did. There was a double meaning.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Because he was obviously just trying to get attention. That's
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: what he does. But he's also look over there guy. Hey, everyone,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: look over there. Now, you know, in Magic... The magic
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: is not the trick. It's getting you to look somewhere else.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And then they use the switch, the switcheroo. And that's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: where the magic happens is because your eyesight is looking
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. You have blindness right in front of you.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You don't often see things right in front of you.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: There's all these little tricks that magicians do. So in
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: this case, Gardner Johnson did a, hey, look over there.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And Josh Allen escaped through the back door. He snuck out.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: There was an escape portal, and he got out of there.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here. See you later, suckers. Bye-bye. Now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen was garbage in the second half of this game.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: He just was. Any way you cut the loaf of bread,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it was not good. It was not good. And he
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: had a 74 passer rating, and he got outplayed. Drake
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: May outplayed him, and much to the dismay of CJ.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And that's it. That was the ultimate diversion play right there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And so he made it all about him. Now, the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: best part, as good as all the rest, CJ tried
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: calling the game-winning Efton Chisholm III a practice squad guy. And,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of course, he was wrong on that. And this is
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a master class in agitation. It just is.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Deflect.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Deflect. That's my quarterback. Stand by your quarterback, and then
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you end up getting roasted for your own hypocrisy. By
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the way, tremendous late-game passing by Josh Allen there. Nice
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: job by him. Solid. All right, secondly, to the New
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: England side of things, as Drake May, is he now good?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: What happened? What happened? Drake May was in the crosshairs
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Mike Vrabel and a lot of drama-o-rama
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: around the Pats. New England entered Buffalo averaging an NFL-worst
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: 12 points per game, which I'm told is not good.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And then on Sunday, Drake May outplayed Mr. Former MVP
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Guy and Josh Allen in the second half. He was
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: making more plays than the quarterback for the Buffalo football team,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: which leads to the obvious question. What is the question?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: The question is, with this upset win over the Bills,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Patriots were almost a touchdown dog in that game, is
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: New England quarterback Drake May now out of the doghouse?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Harf! Harf! Harf!
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Is he out of the doghouse? So we spent several
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: minutes deliberating the available information to come to the conclusion,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and we've determined that one upset victory does not qualify
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: for a presidential pardon, unfortunately, from weeks and weeks of
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback malpractice, which Drake May had. You see, ifs and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: buts were candy and nuts, the Patriots would have at
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: least one more win. That Seattle game was pretty much
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: in the bag, and Drake May gave the game to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke and Seattle. So that's on him, like that game.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And you say, well, there's some other moments there where
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the Patriots could have, should have, would have won. One
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: other game. So at least one, probably two. If Drake
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: May doesn't have his head up his tuchus, they would
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: have won those games. But he's not out of the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: doghouse is what I'm trying to say. Because of one
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: decent game. And he made the same mistakes he's been making.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I think he's got 17. I saw the stats somewhere.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: 17 turnovers since the start of the playoffs last year,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: which is just horrific. So all we've done, we haven't
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: taken him out of the doghouse. Drake May, we've just
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: changed the newspaper. We've replaced the newspaper, and everyone wants
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a parade. You get a parade. Way to go. Way
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to go. Because you looked somewhat competent on a random
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: October Sunday. Congratulations. For one afternoon, you looked somewhat competent.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It does not delete the first three games of the year.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The DVR, somebody has a DVR still, and they're like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, you can't do that. Drake May gave
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the Patriots... and the people that support the Patriots, evidence
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of life. There is movement. We have movement. Way to go.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Looked a little more like the MVP runner-up last year.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Baby steps, baby steps, baby steps, baby steps. Of course,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the result says a lot about the way this is handled.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Before halftime, it turned out that Drake May did have
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a case of the burpees. Yet again, he coughed up
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the football and bent over, coughed up the ball, repeat.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And so a couple of mistakes there. Two turnovers, a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: strip sack at the Buffalo 23-yard line in makeable field
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: goal range. Drake May coughed it up and the pocket
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: collapsed and he failed to protect the ball. So that's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the way he's been playing earlier this year. And then May...
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Also had an interception. So he's essentially, it's like he's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a morning zoo radio guy. And as a morning zoo
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: radio guy, you just keep giving stuff away, right? You
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: get free tickets to the concert. You get this, that,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So there you go. He's still
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: firmly in the canine condo, Drake May. He's not out
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of it. We'll give him a longer leash. Longer leash,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: as we said, but that's about it. All right, now,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: final thought. To Jersey we go. Every week there's got
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to be a controversy in the NFL. We can't get
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: through a weekend without it, which is great for talk radio.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Last week, we didn't talk too much about it on
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: this show. There were a lot of people up in
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: arms because a ball boy in Jacksonville The Patriots got
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: smoked in that game. But one of the ball boys
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: would not give the football to one of the Jacksonville players.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And this created quite the hullabaloo. People were up in
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: arms over that. Well, now this week, the controversy, unless
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I missed something, I think the big controversy is this.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Cardinals lost to the Giants. Game ended on a pick
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: six by Jacoby Brissett. But 36-24 the final. The Giants
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: get the win as Brissett was very generous. Very generous
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: at the end there. So the bigger controversy came when
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: an NFL official yelled F-U twice to Cardinals tight end
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Trey McBride. He yelled it. The official caught on camera
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: yelling F-U, F-U at Trey McBride. Now McBride looked baffled.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: He looked angry. And there were some people from the team,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the staffers there for the Cardinals, who had to hold
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: him back. It was like professional wrestling. Hold it back now!
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Hold it back now! Now that exchange came in the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter after McBride thought he was tripped while running
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a route or route, depending on where you grew up,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: but no penalty was called. And adding to the annoyance,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: McBride had his worst game of the year. A tight
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: end for the Cardinals there. He caught seven passes, which
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: is nice, but 31 yards, which is not nice. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: so that's the story. Now, the NFL has said they're investigating.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: The Keystone cops of the NFL are going to sniff around.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So here's the question. What is your perspective on the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: official yelling, F you, a couple of times to Cardinals
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: tight end Trey McBride, where the NFL is now going
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to investigate this great injustice of the modern world? So
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: apparently an NFL player can spend all afternoon investigating MFing
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the referees, abusing the referees, and heaven forbid, heaven forbid,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the referee replies with the native language of football. Can't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: do it. So McBride, from what I read, he asked
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: for clarification. The official clarified with two syllables. First one
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: starts with an F. The second word there, U. And
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that's it. That's customer service. That is straight up customer
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: service responding to a complaint. Now, we found it refreshingly human.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I liked it. You know, men being men. That's how
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you do it. You're talking. And not diplomatic. Obviously not diplomatic.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the referee and Trey McBride. They weren't negotiating some kind
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of peace treaty. It was great. McBride went down to
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Ike's Sandwich Shop there, ordered the tongue hero, and the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: ref delivered a little extra mustard there in the native tongue.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Got the native tongue there. I grew up on NFL films.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I'm getting old, but the NFL films used to show
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff all the time. The referees would
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: yell at the players, the players would yell at the referees,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and it was all fun. It was all fun and games. Also,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: there used to be these MLB videos where old school managers,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: all the managers are robots now, the lifeless robots in baseball.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: But there used to be people that had personalities and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: had lives and they were interesting people and big characters,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: bigger than life characters, people like Earl Weaver and Tommy Lasorda.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And they'd yell at the umpires and the umpires would
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: yell at them. And nobody cared. But now we've given
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: dumb people power, dumb people up in arms. I can't
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: believe that somebody would talk to Trey McBride like that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: First of all, how many people even know who Trey
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: McBride is? Secondly, my God, come on. That was an
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: NFL Films moment with the parental controls turned off for
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that particular moment. And the media, of course, will analyze
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: what happened there 400 times longer than the actual confrontation lasted,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: which was very quick. If a couple of grown-ass men
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: exchange profanity in a violent sport, oh, my God, we
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: can't have that. That's trauma. That's trauma. Oh, my God, no! Yes,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you idiots. You idiots. Everything will be fine. No one
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: got hurt. That's just, hey, F you. F you. We're
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: all good. An F you for an F you, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the world goes round. And so the NFL should skip
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the fake outrage thing. And slap this right into the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: next issue. Come back with that blooper reel thing. Bring
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: back the blooper reel. NFL bloopers and practical jokes. And
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: there you go. You got the referee. Loudmouth referee. But instead,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: we'll get some investigation. And the NFL has handled this internally.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: So-and-so has been fined a blank amount of money. It
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Maller Show. We'll take your calls.

• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the other controversies in the NFL this weekend, the 49er
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Bronco game, which we did not spend too much time on,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: but linebacker Dre Greenlaw was enraged. He was very upset.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: What a clown. That's a Koopaloop Bronco fan. So Dre
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Greenlaw upset with Sean Payton and the Broncos who released
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: him earlier this year. And in the first quarter, Greenlaw
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: made a tackle near the Denver sideline and And he
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: had a message for Sean Payton. He said, you effed
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: up releasing me! And Payton appeared to respond simply, I know!
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And it turned out that that was not the end.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: The end of the back and forth. The bad blood
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: continued after the Niners got a 10-point win over the Broncos.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And Greenlaw confronted Sean Payton. On the field. And Fred
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Warner came over, had to restrain Greenlaw to keep the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: peace there. And Greenlaw said afterwards, he said, quote, I
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: just haven't talked to him in months. It's just a lot. Okay.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Just trying to catch up. That's it. There you go.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Dude was hurt the entire time he was on the team. Like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: what do you expect? We're just going to keep you around.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: He was hurt the entire time. And then when he
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: wasn't hurt, he was getting suspended for shoving officials.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, I do remember that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: One game for threatening official or whatever.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: They paid him $ 35 million or something like that, and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: he didn't do anything for the Broncos.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Some of those guys, yeah. They only are good with the, like,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: what's his, Debo Samuel sucked with the Commanders. Some of
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: these guys are just good with the Niners. It's weird.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: It has like the reverse effect. They have that electrical substation.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: For some people, it hurts them, but for others, it
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: helps them. It gives them a superpower. It's very odd.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to, let's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: go to Mark on the North End. Hello, Marky on
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the North End. Welcome, Mark. Hey, good morning, Ben.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: How's it going on this Monday?
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a May, but
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: not Drake May, because, you know, he throws a lot
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: of interceptions and things like that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I got to say, I won't say he's completely
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: out of the doghouse yet, but I think Romeo Dobbs
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: pulled himself out of the doghouse yesterday.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: And also in the late game last night, Bryce.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Young and McMillan, they look like they were putting on
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: a wide receiver quarterback clinic last night.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Did you see who they were playing? No, I saw
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: who they were playing.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The Lions are terrible. They're the worst defense in the NFL.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: They suck. I understand that, but it was amazing how
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: they kept going the opposite way of what's-his-name, Hutchinson. Yeah, well.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: They kept them away from. McMillan had 14 catches for
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: like 190-something yards or whatever. Yeah, between him and C.D.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Lamb yesterday, they had 31 catches. That seems like a lot.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: That seems like a lot, Mark. That seems like a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: lot of catches. That is a lot. Yeah, that is
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a fair amount of catches for sure there. Yeah, we'll
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: see what's going forward here with Drake May. At least
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in the second half, for half a football, he was better.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: At least Dobbs started catching the ball and getting some yards.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: No more drops. That was a good sign yesterday. There
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you go. You got your Romeo Dobbs. He did not
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: catch everything. There were some drops, but yeah. But at
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: least he's finally– him and May showed up four weeks late, but.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: They showed up.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they don't have training camp, so they have
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to wait four weeks to start the season. That's how
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that goes.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe they should stop playing some preseason games. I know.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: They all get hurt anyway. Might as well play.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Exactly. All right.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you. There's a great mark on the north end there.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Hot Patriot talk from Mark. Now, one of the other
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: stories here, and if you're watching the Raider game with
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, Tyquan Thornton made a huge play for the Chiefs.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And then we noticed, wait a minute, his leg is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: bent the wrong way. That leg is not supposed to
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: go the way that that's going. What's going on with that? Yeah,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it was a terrible, horrific injury. And the Chiefs off
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to the great start, right? Beat the Raiders, double-digit lead
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton suffering an
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: ankle injury. The foot was bending the wrong way. It
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: was a hot mess. And Thornton, you've got to think
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: he's not going to play this season again. That's a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: season-ending injury. I'm not a doctor. We're going to play
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: one on the radio. He didn't even realize it. Oh,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: so bad. Jim Nance didn't realize it either. He was
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: like calling the game. Nance didn't realize it. And then
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: they showed the replays. Oh, might want to look away.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: He tried to stand up to celebrate his catch.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: He's like, wait a minute. Where's my foot? Oh, my
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: foot's over to the right. I got to go to
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the left. That's just terrible. So now, of course, the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: connecting of the dots, Tyreek Hill, which will go about
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: as well as Odell Beckham. The Tyreek Hill thing will
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: go about as well as Odell Beckham, but we'll see
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: how that goes. Let's go back to the phones. Ben Jammin.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: is in the bayou, and he's up next in New Orleans.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Benjamin Welch?
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, did I hear you say that there was another
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: man from Louisiana call earlier? Yeah, yeah, we have a
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: guy named Anthony in Louisiana, but all he does is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: call up and flirt with Arena. You actually have sports takes.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: I just got to add a poor boy in there.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: We're good to go, right?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: You're the new favorite.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Son, my man.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Hey, I just got out of work, and.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I'm on my way to the Cushon Delay.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: You know what that is, our Cushon Delay? I have
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: no idea what that is. What is that? The rest
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of the world call that a pig roast. Ah, you're
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: going to a little early morning pig roast.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I bring you the Creole culture here for all your people.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, we're on the way to the Coochon Delay.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: We're going to drink the homemade wine, and it's a
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: beautiful day because the Saints play it on Monday night.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: That's right. You've got a pregame. That's right. We've got
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: to all be watching. We'll all be watching that Saints
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: game at the Falcons, a little NFC South Donnybrook.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: We had the whole day.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: We got the whole day to get ready so we
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: can get ready to pluck them dirty birds.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: You know, there's no other game for the Saints better
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: than when we play.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: The ATL here.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I hear you.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I hear you.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Well, enjoy the pig roast. Thank you. There is the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: great Ben Jamin from the bayou. I've always wanted to
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: go to one of those. They have them in Hawaii, too.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: The luau's, they call them in Hawaii. It's a little
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: different in New Orleans. With a coconut shell? That sounds fun. Oh,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: in Hawaii?
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: They give you the lays. Yeah. All that stuff. It's
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the way to go. All right. Let's say hello to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Marcel in Brooklyn, the pride of Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel. Welcome.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: You can call me the pride of Brooklyn all you want,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the mean streets of Brooklyn.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I just did.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: The happiest place in Brooklyn, the heavenly place of our borough. Boy, oh,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: boy there, man. I guarantee you, you are a real
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: respectful man.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: That's right. Very respectful.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Good job by you.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that. And who is the player
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of the night, Marcel? Who do we have?
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I have this player of the morning representing. You told
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: me about the Giants and the pick six. So coming up,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: fingers crossed, ladies and gentlemen.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Fingers crossed. Very important.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, we're going to do some food pics
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: with no New England calls like Mike the Idiot Con
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: and others.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: We will not put those guys on. I promise you.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I would never put those guys on. Very offensive.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Let's get into it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: All right. By the way, congratulations, Marcel, to your Jets.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: They ended the streak here after 630. It's a fun fact,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: by the way.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Let's do your fun fact instead. Hit it, Lorena. All right.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Fun fact here. Matt Maller, fun fact. After 637 days,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: what did the Jets do that hadn't happened in 637 days?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Ooh, lost to the Chicago Bears. That's why.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: No, the Jets finally ended a 637-day interception drought.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Interception drought. Congratulations there. The drought covered 636 opponent pass attempts,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: 20 consecutive games without a Jets interception. And so congratulations
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: to the Jets as Minka Fitzpatrick intercepted Tyson Bajent in
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the second quarter of that game. The Jets lost to
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the Bears, but they did get an interception. Okay, here
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: we go. We have some callers that want to play
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: food pics as well. So, caller.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Let's get into it, everybody.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, line three. Welcome to the show. You're in the doghouse.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Are you a rose or a cactus?
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. What? Is this Mike the Idiot Con?
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think it is?
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: He says no. The podcast Mailbag on Sunday suggested you
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and the leprechaun have a verbal octagon.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: You want an octagon, Marcel? You want to go to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the octagon against the leprechaun?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Well, let's do it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: We can't do it right now. We have to promote it.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: How about Wednesday? Why not Wednesday? We'll promote it on Wednesday.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Let's do it. 5 a.m. Eastern, 2 a.m. Pacific.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Hump Day.

  Speaker 1: Yes, very important. I am from Chicago. I had corn
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: candy on a moldy pizza.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yuck. Yucky. That is totally unassessable gross.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Let's see.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: This ain't the Mixed Max at all.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: We have another caller. Caller, you're on the air. Hello, caller.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Line 4, you're on the air. Line 4 with Marcel
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn playing food pics. Caller, hello.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Line 4, welcome to the show.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: My buddy Marcel, how are you doing this morning?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Who is this?
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Well, who do you think it is?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: It's me.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Poppy? Jesus Christ.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: It is not Jesus. It is not Jesus.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. Jesus, he has nothing to do with it,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: but you do need Jesus. Yeah.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. What is going on? Everything okay, Marcel? What is
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: going on with you?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, such a terrible caller.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: You don't even know who that is, do you? You
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: have no idea. Who do you think that is?
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: It's Hollering James.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: It is not Hollering. You're 0 for 2. No, no, no, no, no.
• 32:43
