- 2:28Speaker 1: buying should be. It's been a roller coaster kind of
- 2:34Speaker 1: a day and we're not We're not gonna bear the lead,
- 2:37Speaker 1: my man, We're not. We will go to Houston, a
- 2:41Speaker 1: city that they embraced cheaters. The baseball team not so much.
- 2:47Speaker 1: But this isn't this is football. We're all grown ups here, right.
- 2:50Speaker 1: We can move on from past battle royales that we've
- 2:54Speaker 1: had and we can break it down, and we will
- 2:58Speaker 1: break it down here. And our lead is from deep
- 3:02Speaker 1: in the heart of Texas. The curtain went up on
- 3:04Speaker 1: Week twelve of the NFL season, Josh Allen and the
- 3:10Speaker 1: caravan of Bill's Mafia rolling in to h Town for
- 3:16Speaker 1: a matchup against the NFL's top ranked defense. That was
- 3:19Speaker 1: the billing on this particular game. You had Al Michaels,
- 3:23Speaker 1: the seasoned veteran Al Michaels, and Herbie Kirk Herbstreet holding
- 3:29Speaker 1: machete Mike's as they try to navigate their way through
- 3:31Speaker 1: the Amazon. And I don't know if you're watching this
- 3:34Speaker 1: or not, maybe not us. That's stuff going on. We're
- 3:37Speaker 1: a week away from Thanksgiving. Well, don't worry. We watched
- 3:40Speaker 1: so you would not have to watch. It's our public service,
- 3:42Speaker 1: our good MITSVA of the day. So Will Anderson and
- 3:48Speaker 1: friends getting it done, getting her done. As the Houston's
- 3:52Speaker 1: Houston defense, very dominant defense, living up to the hype.
- 3:56Speaker 1: There they sacked Josh Allen, not once, not twice, not
- 3:59Speaker 1: three times, not four, not five, not six, not seven,
- 4:02Speaker 1: eight times. Josh Allen spent a lot of time on
- 4:07Speaker 1: his back there and number nine in year program, but
- 4:10Speaker 1: number one in your heart. Kalen Bullock forced not one,
- 4:13Speaker 1: not two, but three turnovers with an interception there a
- 4:18Speaker 1: game ceiling interception on a desperate heave by Josh Allen,
- 4:22Speaker 1: and that allowed the Texans to take a knee and
- 4:25Speaker 1: end the game. So Houston wins it twenty three to
- 4:28Speaker 1: nineteen over the Bills on a Thursday night special as
- 4:33Speaker 1: Buffalo drops to seven and four with the loss Davis
- 4:38Speaker 1: Mills and only one hundred and fifty three yards passing
- 4:41Speaker 1: but a couple of touchdown passes in the first half,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and the Texans are over five hundred at six and five,
- 4:48Speaker 1: third straight win with their backup quarterback as CJ. Stroud
- 4:54Speaker 1: not there, not playing in the backup getting it done.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Houston above five hundred for the first time all season.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And the better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
- 5:06Speaker 1: My goodness, Buffalo, what have you done? What happened? Let's
- 5:12Speaker 1: start out with Sean McDermott, the head coach of the Bills.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Not likely passed this year the way things are looking
- 5:22Speaker 1: at this particular moment, but he is for now the
- 5:25Speaker 1: head coach of the team in Buffalo. Here is McDermott.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Here the question and the answer as it relates to
- 5:33Speaker 1: the way the game was played. Let's go to the
- 5:35Speaker 1: audio tape. Take a list. I know you pride yourself
- 5:38Speaker 1: on getting more physical team. Did they beat it to
- 5:40Speaker 1: that tonight? Were they the more physical team?
- 5:42Speaker 3: Well?
- 5:42Speaker 1: When they hit their quarterback twelve times?
- 5:45Speaker 4: You know, I don't like that.
- 5:47Speaker 1: I don't like that stat at all. And it's not
- 5:51Speaker 1: a healthy way to play or a healthy way to
- 5:54Speaker 1: keep our quarterback healthy through the remainder of the season.
- 5:56Speaker 4: So it's just not a good formula right there.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Okay, thank you very much. I think I needed you
- 6:03Speaker 1: to tell me. We could not have figured that out
- 6:05Speaker 1: on my own. Needed you to tell me that. Thank
- 6:07Speaker 1: you very much, smart and meat head football coach. All Right,
- 6:09Speaker 1: So the Bills here, let's just let's get right to it.
- 6:12Speaker 1: The Bills are being called the F word. Well, not
- 6:15Speaker 1: that effort. They're being called frauds, frauds with a capital
- 6:20Speaker 1: F after they lost to the Texans. There, So that
- 6:24Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let's start with that.
- 6:26Speaker 1: We'll work our way through. We've got plenty of time
- 6:28Speaker 1: here to discuss the question. Josh Allen, the reigning MVP
- 6:34Speaker 1: of the NFL, and his team, the Buffalo Bill is
- 6:37Speaker 1: being called fraudulent. Are we in or are we out
- 6:43Speaker 1: on that statement about the Buffalo Bill? So on this one,
- 6:45Speaker 1: I've got Playdough Penn and Teller and David Letterman and
- 6:52Speaker 1: we will put all of these things together and we
- 6:54Speaker 1: will do the hokey pokey and we'll shake it all about.
- 6:58Speaker 1: So ay, I'm in on this. I'm in on this
- 7:02Speaker 1: like it's animal style fries at in and out. Okay,
- 7:05Speaker 1: we have a talk show to dude right now at
- 7:08Speaker 1: this hour late at night, and we have to judge
- 7:11Speaker 1: things based on real time. So based on real time,
- 7:15Speaker 1: they began week twelve, they being the Buffalo Bills began
- 7:17Speaker 1: week twelve floppity flopping like they they showed up to
- 7:22Speaker 1: an exam with no pencil, but you had to have
- 7:26Speaker 1: a pencil. You had to have a pencil. They didn't
- 7:28Speaker 1: bring a pencil. But we don't need a pencil. It's
- 7:30Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. But no, you had to have a pencil.
- 7:32Speaker 1: They didn't bring a pencil. Bat you out by them,
- 7:36Speaker 1: and you are what your record says you are. So
- 7:39Speaker 1: are they good? Okay, they're gonna winning record? Are they
- 7:41Speaker 1: are they great? No? No, they're not great. This was
- 7:46Speaker 1: supposed to be greatness. This was supposed to be it.
- 7:50Speaker 1: You're changing stadiums at the end of the year. Here
- 7:53Speaker 1: this is me be your final run in the old venue,
- 7:56Speaker 1: and you're getting to that new shiny stadium across the street.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Go in there with a Super Bowl trophy. And instead,
- 8:04Speaker 1: if you look at the Bills from thirty thousand feet
- 8:06Speaker 1: up in the sky, the Buffalo Bills are all over
- 8:08Speaker 1: the map. It's like they're spinning a globe. You know,
- 8:11Speaker 1: you gotta spin the globe, and it kind of pointing
- 8:15Speaker 1: blindfolded is what they're doing. Even Stevie Meatballs would do
- 8:18Speaker 1: a better job than that. Now, one week they can
- 8:21Speaker 1: come out there and take care of Cans City. The
- 8:26Speaker 1: next week or a couple of weeks later, they're losing
- 8:28Speaker 1: to Davis Mills, the backup quarterback for the Texans, the
- 8:32Speaker 1: guy with the kind of a giraffe like look to
- 8:35Speaker 1: his appearance there. And yet Davis Mills did a better
- 8:41Speaker 1: job than Josh Allen. Let that marinate in your little
- 8:45Speaker 1: head for a second. How does that sound? May God,
- 8:47Speaker 1: the Bills in general got treated like it was a
- 8:51Speaker 1: kindergarten play dough. I have play doll back in the day.
- 8:55Speaker 1: You roll it, you smash it, put it back in
- 8:57Speaker 1: the container. Mix all the colors together. The text exposed
- 9:02Speaker 1: them in many ways. The Bills you look at the
- 9:04Speaker 1: point to if you didn't see the game as well
- 9:06Speaker 1: at nineteen points. Okay, they won the yardage total. One
- 9:10Speaker 1: of those touchdowns was on a special teams play. The
- 9:12Speaker 1: offense flatlined only two trips to the red zone for
- 9:17Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen's numbers were artificially inflated there.
- 9:22Speaker 1: It was that late trick oration, the gimmick play where
- 9:26Speaker 1: they had forty four yards. It was fourth and twenty
- 9:28Speaker 1: seven and the Bills collected forty four yards on a
- 9:31Speaker 1: play late in the fourth quarter, only to then self
- 9:34Speaker 1: destruct after that. But this team is bipolar. The Bills
- 9:39Speaker 1: are bipolar. They beat the Bucks, the Chiefs, and the Ravens,
- 9:42Speaker 1: which is great. The Ravens the first game of the year,
- 9:45Speaker 1: that wild comeback, the Chiefs, who are a middling team
- 9:49Speaker 1: this year. And then the Buccaneers they beat last week,
- 9:52Speaker 1: a wounded roster they lost to at the time what
- 9:56Speaker 1: we assumed was a weak Patriots team, and the foul
- 10:00Speaker 1: who stink, and the Houston Texans now the latest team
- 10:04Speaker 1: with their backup quarterback to win. So there's no compass,
- 10:07Speaker 1: there's no GPS penalty. It's just a lot of vibes,
- 10:10Speaker 1: a lot of vibes with the Buffalo Bills and the team.
- 10:13Speaker 1: I've determined Doctor Maller has determined they're suffering from holatosis.
- 10:18Speaker 1: They need a gallon of mouthwash and a therapist at
- 10:22Speaker 1: this point. Now Houston with the number one defensive and
- 10:29Speaker 1: so this is a placement test. How do you match
- 10:31Speaker 1: up against the top defense in the NFL for your
- 10:33Speaker 1: Buffalo And the answer is, don't ask. You don't want
- 10:38Speaker 1: to know the answer. Right, it was a trip up
- 10:42Speaker 1: in the sky on the vomit comet, is what it was.
- 10:44Speaker 1: They rode the vomit comet. Right now, the Buffalo Bills
- 10:49Speaker 1: are not on the VIP list. They were supposed to
- 10:51Speaker 1: be on the VIP list. They're not. No bottle service
- 10:55Speaker 1: for Buffalo. You're not getting the bottle service. And if
- 10:58Speaker 1: you can't trust them in big spots, how can you
- 11:02Speaker 1: trust them at all? And that's what you have to
- 11:04Speaker 1: ask yourself and answer yourself. You like the Bills and Derek,
- 11:08Speaker 1: the Bill's monster, and these guys. I'm sure none of
- 11:10Speaker 1: these guys will call up, because what happens when you
- 11:12Speaker 1: do a show like this. If your team wins, everyone's
- 11:14Speaker 1: a front runner. You want to smell yourself and navel gaze.
- 11:18Speaker 1: And then when you lose, y'all, I'm not listening. When
- 11:20Speaker 1: my team loses, you might say something me. Okay, I
- 11:24Speaker 1: know how it works. I've been around the block a
- 11:26Speaker 1: couple of times. Now Page two to the quarterback room, specifically, specifically,
- 11:33Speaker 1: and let's start with Josh Allen, who had a want
- 11:38Speaker 1: to forget about it kind of day. Here's Josh Allen,
- 11:41Speaker 1: who took the most sacks he's ever taken in his career,
- 11:45Speaker 1: with sack eight times. Eight times, you'll hear the question
- 11:49Speaker 1: and the answer from the reigning most valuable player in
- 11:52Speaker 1: the NFL. Take a listen. Can you even put into
- 11:55Speaker 1: words how it did to get through a game like
- 11:58Speaker 1: that most sacks of your career? Yeah, it's not fun.
- 12:02Speaker 5: I ran into a couple myself. I gotta be better
- 12:05Speaker 5: throwing the ball away and living to see another down
- 12:08Speaker 5: and uh letting letting us play some situational football and
- 12:11Speaker 5: penning them deep, and too many times I was going
- 12:13Speaker 5: backwards and I gotta be better on that.
- 12:17Speaker 1: All right. So to the point here, and what he
- 12:20Speaker 1: said was accurate. Bill's mafia will not acknowledge that. But
- 12:24Speaker 1: the question is how much of this suck bag performance
- 12:28Speaker 1: goes on the shoulders of Bill's quarterback Josh Allen. So
- 12:35Speaker 1: it's it's not two, it's not four, it's not six,
- 12:38Speaker 1: it's eight. Who do we appreciate eight sacks? Eight sacks?
- 12:43Speaker 1: That's football malpractice. And before we start getting the messages
- 12:48Speaker 1: coming in and say, well it's over too long, Oh
- 12:50Speaker 1: my e it's the Fed guys. Blame the Fed people,
- 12:55Speaker 1: the idiots. Yes, I'm sorry, No, no, no, Josh Allen
- 13:01Speaker 1: was out there playing hero ball, is what he was doing.
- 13:05Speaker 1: I call that hero ball. It's like the Penn and
- 13:06Speaker 1: Teller ducking spinning, turning every single play, trying to extend
- 13:11Speaker 1: the play. It was like a circus act under the
- 13:14Speaker 1: big top. Fun for all ages, as long as you're
- 13:17Speaker 1: a Houston Texans fan. Fun for all ages. There abra cadabra.
- 13:21Speaker 1: You got sacked eight times. That is not bad luck.
- 13:24Speaker 1: That is bad decision making. And what do we always say?
- 13:28Speaker 1: A sack is worse than an incompletion most of the time,
- 13:33Speaker 1: a drive that includes a sack, you end up not
- 13:37Speaker 1: scoring on that drive. You throw it away, stud, that's
- 13:40Speaker 1: what you do. You don't take a loss, you don't
- 13:42Speaker 1: invite disaster for Josh Allen. You don't play backyard football,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and you're the two hundred and fifty eight million dollar
- 13:49Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Now, the Malard Mass says, to answer the
- 13:52Speaker 1: question how much of these suck bag performance is on
- 13:56Speaker 1: the shoulders of Josh Allen, Malar Mass is eighty percent.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Eighty percent of this is on Josh Allen for the
- 14:03Speaker 1: offensive problems there, and I'm being generous. The last three
- 14:08Speaker 1: games Allen had no touchdowns in this game, but the
- 14:10Speaker 1: last three games he's got five touchdowns, five interceptions, losses
- 14:14Speaker 1: to Miami and Houston's backup quarterback, and a win in
- 14:18Speaker 1: a second half onslought against the Buccaneers. So now he's
- 14:22Speaker 1: got the eight sacks in one game, many of them,
- 14:26Speaker 1: not all, not all. Let me repeat that, not all,
- 14:29Speaker 1: but many of them self inflicted. As he said, he
- 14:32Speaker 1: ran into a couple of sacks, and I know what
- 14:34Speaker 1: we're gonna get, right. This was not MVP level play.
- 14:37Speaker 1: This was reckless, caroless freelancing by Josh Allen. And that's
- 14:41Speaker 1: the kind of play that the Bills will never win anything.
- 14:44Speaker 1: They're screwed. And if he continues to play like that,
- 14:48Speaker 1: you'll say, well, this was it. They missed their opportunity,
- 14:51Speaker 1: and this is who Josh Allen is. Eventually, you gotta
- 14:53Speaker 1: blame the Hollywood starlet, right, you blame the woman. It's
- 14:56Speaker 1: got to be a woman's fault. But if you look
- 14:58Speaker 1: at this, the excuse I've already gotten when I get
- 15:02Speaker 1: two emails already from people listening to Buffalo or claim,
- 15:05Speaker 1: I don't know if they're in Buffalo or not, they're
- 15:07Speaker 1: Bills fans. One is it's the offensive line. It's the
- 15:11Speaker 1: offensive line. It's the receivers. They don't have enough good receivers.
- 15:16Speaker 1: It's the play calling, it's the coaching. Those are the
- 15:18Speaker 1: big three. That's the apologist checklist. I'm guessing if Andy
- 15:22Speaker 1: the comic book guy, Bill's mafia guy, Andy the comic
- 15:25Speaker 1: book Guy is listening, he'll call in with that. He'll
- 15:27Speaker 1: call in with the smiles. Oh, we love Josh Allen.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I've got a shrine to Josh Allen. Now stop. This
- 15:33Speaker 1: is on the quarterback on the quarterback. These are self
- 15:37Speaker 1: inflicted wounds. Tell me I'm wrong, Tell me I'm wrong.
- 15:42Speaker 1: All right, last word, we go to the winning locker room,
- 15:45Speaker 1: which is not the better story, but we go to
- 15:47Speaker 1: the winning locker room anyway, on the Texans side, with
- 15:51Speaker 1: Will Anderson leading the way. This is a championship level
- 15:56Speaker 1: defense in Houston. CEJ. Stroud is supposed to return from
- 16:01Speaker 1: the concussion protocol in the Texans next game. Not everyone
- 16:07Speaker 1: is on board with that. At this point, I heard
- 16:09Speaker 1: Herbstreet licking the toes of c J. Stroud, a franchise quarterback,
- 16:14Speaker 1: and all that. Okay, yeah, okay. Question, should the Houston
- 16:21Speaker 1: Texans do the unthinkable the unimaginable? Should the Houston Texans
- 16:26Speaker 1: continue to play backup quarterback Davis Mills over c J. Stroutt.
- 16:35Speaker 1: So the answer is, it's not complicated. You don't need
- 16:39Speaker 1: to fix this. It's not broken right now for the Texans.
- 16:43Speaker 1: And I look at this like it's a case of
- 16:46Speaker 1: this old late night talk shows guy named David Letterman
- 16:49Speaker 1: is stupid human tricks. Davis Mills has turned in to
- 16:53Speaker 1: the human seatbelt. He's not flashy, definitely not flashy, right,
- 16:57Speaker 1: not flashy yet gives you a little comfort of mind
- 17:01Speaker 1: if you're the Texans and keeps you relatively safe. Three starts,
- 17:06Speaker 1: three wins, no drama. He's only had one interception in
- 17:11Speaker 1: the three games. No hero ball, and the lesson is
- 17:16Speaker 1: rather obvious. You just be background. No is be elevator music.
- 17:19Speaker 1: If you're the Texans quarterback, stay out of the way.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Let the adults in the room which are on defense,
- 17:25Speaker 1: let them do their thing right. Just stay, stay out
- 17:28Speaker 1: of the way and let the Texans super Bowl worthy
- 17:31Speaker 1: defense eat. And he's like Tamo's Mills is like generic
- 17:35Speaker 1: brand cereal at the grocery store. Nobody gets excited when
- 17:38Speaker 1: they get a box of generic brand cereals. I don't
- 17:42Speaker 1: want store brand cereal. It's a rip off. Why do
- 17:45Speaker 1: I want that doesn't look good? The colors aren't the
- 17:47Speaker 1: same on the cereal. The taste is a little off.
- 17:50Speaker 1: It doesn't taste great. But somehow it gets the job done,
- 17:54Speaker 1: and more importantly, it saves you a couple bucks. And
- 17:56Speaker 1: all that. I'm not here and I'm not gonna sit
- 17:58Speaker 1: here behind the microphone and say O, CJ. Stroud is bad. However,
- 18:03Speaker 1: he is going the wrong direction. It's trending the wrong way,
- 18:06Speaker 1: it's not going the right direction for CJ. Stroud. Keep
- 18:10Speaker 1: in mind the Houston offensive line. The analytics nerds and
- 18:16Speaker 1: many self anointed geniuses among the fan base reached out
- 18:23Speaker 1: and said, wow, listen, the offensive line's not CJ. Stroud's fault.
- 18:26Speaker 1: The offensive line is hot garbage, and you just don't understand.
- 18:30Speaker 1: You just don't get it because you're doing the Overnight show.
- 18:32Speaker 1: You just can't understand. It's not CJ. Stroud's fault. No, no, no, no, no, no,
- 18:38Speaker 1: it's not his fault. Okay, So that was like seven
- 18:40Speaker 1: weeks ago, that was the argument. Something funny happened in
- 18:44Speaker 1: the last few weeks and now suddenly suddenly the Texans
- 18:49Speaker 1: offensive line look competent. However, that's only when Davis Mills
- 18:55Speaker 1: is in there making quick decisions with the football training
- 18:58Speaker 1: it like a hot potato and not playing Spider Man,
- 19:03Speaker 1: Spider Man, Spider Man back then. No, it's almost like
- 19:07Speaker 1: this is gonna blow your mind. It's almost like c J.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Stroud was part of the problem. Oh, you can't say that.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Why would you say that? What's wrong? Would you to
- 19:17Speaker 1: ban him? Block him? He said? CEJ. Stroud's part of
- 19:22Speaker 1: the problem. Up booooo what p damn Do I know
- 19:28Speaker 1: that's gonna trigger some fanboys? Cue the violin for Stroud's
- 19:32Speaker 1: very delicate ego, and I realize the Texans are going
- 19:37Speaker 1: to have to tiptoe through the tulips on this one.
- 19:39Speaker 1: I get it. I understand this guy hyped as the
- 19:43Speaker 1: franchise guy build as the cherry red Ferrari. However, right now,
- 19:47Speaker 1: if you're Demko Ryans, you take the dented, rusted out
- 19:52Speaker 1: jeep Wrangler with one hundred and seventy mile one hundred
- 19:55Speaker 1: seventy thousand miles on it. I just just it's a rustbucket.
- 20:00Speaker 1: You take that jeep Wrangling with one hundred and seventy
- 20:02Speaker 1: thousand miles on it, and that's the car you need.
- 20:05Speaker 1: It'll get you where you want to go. It's not
- 20:07Speaker 1: I go get there fast. And you know there's a
- 20:09Speaker 1: few issues here and there, but we're not in college anymore.
- 20:12Speaker 1: You're not developing anyone here. And until Davis Mills the
- 20:16Speaker 1: way I would do this, until Davis Mills has an
- 20:18Speaker 1: absolute hiccup game where he just completely stinks and throws
- 20:23Speaker 1: an ugly pick and fumbles and all that stuff, you
- 20:27Speaker 1: keep the train rolling, you keep the steam engine going, Jude, Jude,
- 20:32Speaker 1: just like that, all right? And because in Houston right now,
- 20:35Speaker 1: efficiency is sexy and wins. You play to win the game.
- 20:43Speaker 1: As long as the quarterback Davis Mills does not turn
- 20:47Speaker 1: the ball over, play, make reckless plays, take sacks, and
- 20:50Speaker 1: just allow the defense to do it. You'll be fine.
- 20:53Speaker 1: It's not that difficult. It's not. Don't make it harder
- 20:56Speaker 1: than it has to be.

- 22:11Speaker 1: Not from the Thursday night game, we can circle back
- 22:14Speaker 1: to that as the Texans get her done. The Houston
- 22:18Speaker 1: Texans into the wind column. There. They were a sizeable
- 22:21Speaker 1: home underdogs in that game, and they win that game
- 22:24Speaker 1: on defence eight sacks of Josh Allen. But the lead
- 22:28Speaker 1: from the Keystone state of Pennsylvania, we go where the
- 22:33Speaker 1: news of the day takes us and the soap opera
- 22:35Speaker 1: continues to be on the Ben Franklin Bridge there in Philly,
- 22:40Speaker 1: the champs of chaos, days of our lives. I gotta
- 22:44Speaker 1: tell you, as a talk shows I did not expect
- 22:46Speaker 1: this level of continued content from the Philadelphia football team.
- 22:53Speaker 1: So I say, bravo, tremendous job by the Eagles there,
- 22:57Speaker 1: going above and beyond the call of duty. Not been
- 23:00Speaker 1: following the dailies as they called them in the television world,
- 23:04Speaker 1: perhaps not, So let me give you the thumbnail recap.
- 23:08Speaker 1: We'll give you the thumbnail recap on this. So the
- 23:11Speaker 1: Eagles wide receiver A. J. Brown, he was asked about
- 23:18Speaker 1: speculation that he is not the same player that he
- 23:21Speaker 1: once was, and AJ Brown, well, he answered the question
- 23:26Speaker 1: and that led to a story. Let's go to the
- 23:29Speaker 1: audio tape. Here's AJ Brown take a listen. Would you
- 23:32Speaker 1: say there's speculation out there that you are not the
- 23:36Speaker 1: same player he once man, what would you say to
- 23:38Speaker 1: those people?
- 23:42Speaker 7: Oh?
- 23:43Speaker 1: In face face, he said, if you couldn't make that
- 23:46Speaker 1: out of some amami And he said, I guess the
- 23:48Speaker 1: kwan ain't the same player either, he said at his
- 23:51Speaker 1: locker there in the last media availability. That is a
- 23:56Speaker 1: good jumping off point. So let us discuss the question
- 24:00Speaker 1: what do you make of malcontent? Eagle wide receiver AJ
- 24:06Speaker 1: Brown snapping had a question on his performance or lack thereof,
- 24:14Speaker 1: that chatter that he's not the same player he once
- 24:17Speaker 1: was his level of play. So my observations on this,
- 24:19Speaker 1: I have Russell Crowe, Morse code, and Chuck e cheese,
- 24:25Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
- 24:29Speaker 1: we are going to make a steak sandwich. A cheese
- 24:34Speaker 1: steak sandwich is what we're gonna make. So number one
- 24:38Speaker 1: number number number, number, number.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Number line.
- 24:44Speaker 1: The champs of chaos. I'm gonna use that line that
- 24:48Speaker 1: they're the champs of gests. Filming another episode of Days
- 24:52Speaker 1: of Our Lives, the Philadelphia Special A J. Brown. Now
- 24:57Speaker 1: AJ Brown is the director, right nodding your head, Yes,
- 25:01Speaker 1: he's the director. He's the lead actor, and he's the
- 25:05Speaker 1: head of the wardrobe department as well. He's also good
- 25:07Speaker 1: at with props. He's like carrot top with props. He'll
- 25:10Speaker 1: bring a book, read a book on the bench, do
- 25:12Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So these are hand crafted answers,
- 25:18Speaker 1: made to order, made to it. The man has become
- 25:22Speaker 1: an artisan of passive aggressive outbursts. And I am here
- 25:26Speaker 1: for it. I am I have a daily talk show
- 25:29Speaker 1: to do. I'm here for it. A master thespian AJ Brown.
- 25:33Speaker 1: Every time he speaks, I hear Russell Crowe in the Gladiator.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Are you not entertained? That's what I hear. The Eagles
- 25:44Speaker 1: could have hit control alt delete. They could have done
- 25:48Speaker 1: control alt delete on AJ Brown. The trade deadline was
- 25:52Speaker 1: right around Halloween, and they had teams that made them
- 25:55Speaker 1: sizeable offers to acquire AJ Brown, and they said nope, nope,
- 26:03Speaker 1: that's what they said. They said it. They kept him.
- 26:05Speaker 1: They said, his talent is so great. How great is it?
- 26:09Speaker 1: It's so great. We want to keep the player that
- 26:12Speaker 1: he's worth the migraine. And now here we are not
- 26:17Speaker 1: that far removed from the trade deadline. We're coming up
- 26:20Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving this coming week, and now all of a sudden,
- 26:24Speaker 1: it's like they need to go down to the Costco
- 26:27Speaker 1: and get pharmacy grade ibuprofe and a bucket and just
- 26:31Speaker 1: have those on standby. On and off the field. It's
- 26:33Speaker 1: not just an off the field issue. It is an
- 26:36Speaker 1: on the field issue which is spilled into the off
- 26:39Speaker 1: the field stuff. So AJ Brown is on pace for
- 26:41Speaker 1: eight hundred and twelve yards this year in Philadelphia. He's
- 26:45Speaker 1: on pace right, So if he does that, that would
- 26:48Speaker 1: be the lowest performance of his career, the worst season
- 26:52Speaker 1: of AJ Brown's career, eight hundred and twelve yards. How
- 26:56Speaker 1: much worse is this year than last year? Well, if
- 27:03Speaker 1: everything stays the same and nothing ever stays the same.
- 27:05Speaker 1: But we have a show to do right now, and
- 27:07Speaker 1: so if the numbers stay the same, that means that
- 27:10Speaker 1: AJ Brown's production will have gone down by almost twenty
- 27:14Speaker 1: five percent. Almost twenty five percent, twenty four point seven percent.
- 27:18Speaker 1: That's a tumble, a bumble and a fumble is what
- 27:21Speaker 1: that is. And his comeback is well, I guess Sakwan
- 27:25Speaker 1: Barkley he ain't the same player either, and he's not wrong.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Here's the other thing you do the side by side.
- 27:32Speaker 1: I mentioned AJ Brown's performance going down about twenty five percent,
- 27:36Speaker 1: but if you look at Barkley, he is off year
- 27:39Speaker 1: to year by almost forty five percent. Had the career
- 27:43Speaker 1: year last year, career year, the two thousand yard season.
- 27:47Speaker 1: This year his numbers are down by almost forty five percent,
- 27:52Speaker 1: forty three point eight percent decline year to year. So
- 27:56Speaker 1: everybody is underperforming on offense. Everybody is, and this is
- 28:00Speaker 1: classic deflection by AJ Brown. It's finger pointing, not that
- 28:05Speaker 1: he's wrong, not that he's wrong. And don't think this
- 28:09Speaker 1: isn't secretly actually aimed at Jalen Hurts, because when wide
- 28:14Speaker 1: receivers start giving statistical dissertations like AJ Brown, they're really
- 28:20Speaker 1: saying it ain't me, it's the bleep. But he bleep
- 28:24Speaker 1: bleep bleep bleep quarterback, that's who. Blame him. He's a man,
- 28:29Speaker 1: he can take it. Blame him. So Jalen Hurts out
- 28:33Speaker 1: there catching strays. This is the day after Jalen Hurts
- 28:36Speaker 1: came out and said, oh I gotta be better and
- 28:38Speaker 1: all that stuff. And just like that, another storm front
- 28:42Speaker 1: moves across the famous men Franklin Bridge. There the Delaware River,
- 28:46Speaker 1: the daily soap opera rolls on and on and on,
- 28:51Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia chaos properly served and it's just great.
- 28:57Speaker 1: And the Eagles play the Cowboys this weekend in Dallas.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Lane Johnson not playing actually in Arlington, but Lane Johnson's
- 29:05Speaker 1: not playing in that game. And if you look at
- 29:07Speaker 1: the numbers with Lane Johnson and without Lane Johnson, the
- 29:10Speaker 1: Eagles have, you say, it's just an offensive lineman who
- 29:12Speaker 1: gives about offensive lineman. The Eagles apparently care about offensive lineman.
- 29:16Speaker 1: His performance has been key to what they have done. Now, meanwhile,
- 29:20Speaker 1: we go to Minnesota. Another story that's been bubbling up
- 29:23Speaker 1: this year. We had an NFL coach recently offer a withering,
- 29:28Speaker 1: withering assessment, good word, withering assessment of Viking quarterback J. J. McCarthy,
- 29:35Speaker 1: the Michigan man. Now, the coach did not give his name.
- 29:39Speaker 1: He sensed palpable levels of exasperation from the Minnesota pass catchers.
- 29:47Speaker 1: All of this because McCarthy was unable to do his job,
- 29:51Speaker 1: was not able to get them the ball. The neuroscientist J. J. McCarthy,
- 29:55Speaker 1: according to the coach behind a Paywalt the athletic said
- 29:58Speaker 1: the receivers are visually frustrated and they are open all
- 30:03Speaker 1: over the tape. I guess the guy's watching the All
- 30:05Speaker 1: twenty two. He talked about Jalen Naylor and Jordan Addison,
- 30:09Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, TJ. Hockinson, all those guys getting open. And
- 30:14Speaker 1: the person that gave this comment said that that Viking
- 30:17Speaker 1: offense should be putting up numbers like the Cincinnati Bengals offense. However,
- 30:22Speaker 1: that's not happening, and all you hear the coach said,
- 30:25Speaker 1: the quote all you hear from Minnesota is about how
- 30:27Speaker 1: rosy and the great it is there. Everything's wonderful. Blah
- 30:32Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. A right, So that is a
- 30:33Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question vikings
- 30:38Speaker 1: wide receivers. According to this coach visually frustrated with quarterback
- 30:44Speaker 1: Jaye J. McCarthy, how believable is this? So we absolutely
- 30:50Speaker 1: buy this. On the Mallord scale of believability, the Malord
- 30:53Speaker 1: scale of believability, it goes one to five, one to five,
- 30:58Speaker 1: I am at a four. I'm at a four on
- 31:02Speaker 1: the mald scale of believability means I strongly believe bordering
- 31:07Speaker 1: on the gospel, bordering on the Gospel. So you do
- 31:11Speaker 1: not need que cards on this. You don't need que cards.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Just see what's going on. McCarthy, as we have talked
- 31:18Speaker 1: about in previous episodes of the show so far, has
- 31:21Speaker 1: been biblically bad bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad bad,
- 31:25Speaker 1: so bad. He's literally choking on meat sauce at this point.
- 31:29Speaker 1: So Minnesota's playmakers are not just frustrated. The video is there.
- 31:35Speaker 1: The scale believability. There's clips they're not all AI that
- 31:39Speaker 1: show some of these receivers and the body language is
- 31:42Speaker 1: like they're being held hostage and they're blinking morse code,
- 31:46Speaker 1: trying to trying to facilitate some kind of change on
- 31:49Speaker 1: the sidelence. And he watched the film, watch the clips.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Jordan Addison waving his arms like he's directing air traffic
- 31:55Speaker 1: at the Minneapolis Airport, justin Jefferson. Generational talent, He got
- 31:59Speaker 1: the bad and he's giving off the energy justin Jefferson
- 32:03Speaker 1: as he's running around there like he wishes he were
- 32:05Speaker 1: flipping Juicy Lucy's at Matt's Barr the birthplace of the
- 32:10Speaker 1: Juicy Lucy there in Minnesota, instead of running go roots
- 32:14Speaker 1: or routes and then never getting the ball, just doing
- 32:17Speaker 1: cardio out there running around. You got TJ. Hawkinson, the
- 32:22Speaker 1: man who's staring at the sky even when he's in
- 32:25Speaker 1: a dome, waiting for a meteor to come down and
- 32:28Speaker 1: put him out of his misery. This nameless coach. We
- 32:31Speaker 1: don't know who this is. He did use coach speak though,
- 32:35Speaker 1: what was that? The quarterback stinks and everyone knows it
- 32:40Speaker 1: except the public relations department. Now that should be the
- 32:44Speaker 1: Cincinnati office. That was the line that the guy used
- 32:47Speaker 1: three legitimate weapons, three big time weapons, explosive potential. Instead,
- 32:53Speaker 1: it's like they're running in snow shoes, is what they're
- 32:56Speaker 1: doing here. Good luck. The body language again says it all.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Receivers are not frustrated, to quote the late great Brian Wheeler.
- 33:03Speaker 1: They are agitated, alarmed, and acrimonious is what they are.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Minnesota can spin this all they want, talk about progress,
- 33:11Speaker 1: potential and patience, the three piece. The receivers, though, are
- 33:16Speaker 1: telling you the truth with the body language, the eye movement,
- 33:20Speaker 1: all that stuff, and right now they are ska re
- 33:24Speaker 1: ming is what they're doing. They are. It's not great,
- 33:28Speaker 1: all right? Final point, we go to the great Pacific Northwest,
- 33:31Speaker 1: where legends like JJ in Renton and the no strit
- 33:36Speaker 1: Deenas and Crying Craig and so many great fans of
- 33:40Speaker 1: the show have supported what we do there in Seattle
- 33:45Speaker 1: and done a great job. So I provide you some
- 33:47Speaker 1: witty Seahawk commentary, and that is about Sam Darnold, the
- 33:52Speaker 1: Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who says that he now he
- 33:56Speaker 1: understands after that clunker against the Rams, he understands that
- 34:01Speaker 1: he and his team have to be better at protecting
- 34:04Speaker 1: the ball. Ball security and this after a four week stretch.
- 34:09Speaker 1: The Seattle football team has turned the ball over twelve
- 34:13Speaker 1: times now last four games, twelve turnovers, and if my
- 34:18Speaker 1: math is correct, the Seahawks lead the NFL. They are
- 34:21Speaker 1: number one in in giveaways. They've had twenty giveaways this year,
- 34:28Speaker 1: twelve in the last four weeks, which begs the question
- 34:32Speaker 1: where are you at? Where are you at on Sam
- 34:36Speaker 1: Donald urging the Seahawks to protect the ball better? Where
- 34:40Speaker 1: are you at on that? So this is the Sam
- 34:43Speaker 1: Donald paradox is what it is where ball security goes
- 34:48Speaker 1: to die. It's like the Bermuda triangle. Donald telling his
- 34:53Speaker 1: teammates to protect the football is akin to an arsonist
- 34:59Speaker 1: telling the FI department, lecturing them on how to do
- 35:01Speaker 1: their job. The Seahawks don't have a turnover issue. They don't.
- 35:07Speaker 1: They have a Sam Donald issue is what they have
- 35:11Speaker 1: Using Malormath, Seattle has twenty total turnovers. Donald, you want
- 35:16Speaker 1: to take a guess how many Donald is responsible for? Well,
- 35:19Speaker 1: you know he had four interceptions in the last game,
- 35:21Speaker 1: and how many turnovers do you think Donald is responsible for?
- 35:25Speaker 1: The answer, seventy percent of them. Seventy percent. Fourteen of
- 35:34Speaker 1: the twenty turnovers are at the hands of that wicked
- 35:38Speaker 1: bad Sam Donald. But he's going to be okay, everything's fine,
- 35:42Speaker 1: Everything's okay. Yeah, okay, Well there you go. Ten interceptions,
- 35:47Speaker 1: four fumbles, seventy percent of the problem. And when Sam
- 35:52Speaker 1: Donald says we've got to protect the football, I have
- 35:56Speaker 1: to be better. Okay, what does that mean. I mean,
- 36:00Speaker 1: I'm going to keep doing what I've always done. However,
- 36:04Speaker 1: I'm going to say the right things into this microphone.
- 36:07Speaker 1: So the quotes look really good on State Provdanews service,
- 36:12Speaker 1: the Seahawks dot Com. Nobody, no buddy, no buddy in
- 36:19Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks front office can complain, cannot do it.
- 36:24Speaker 1: It would be like the waiter at Chuck E Cheese
- 36:28Speaker 1: complaining there's too many damn kids here. There's too many
- 36:32Speaker 1: kids in the arcade. All they watched the pizza. It's
- 36:35Speaker 1: a big pan in the ass. No, will you work
- 36:37Speaker 1: at Chuck E Cheese. That's what happens. If you're signing
- 36:41Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and he turns the ball over and kills
- 36:45Speaker 1: your season. You signed up for that. I didn't sign
- 36:48Speaker 1: up for that you signed up for that Sam Darnald
- 36:51Speaker 1: is telling Seattle to protect the ball better. It's kind
- 36:56Speaker 1: of like a burglar leaving sticky notes reminding people to
- 36:59Speaker 1: lie their doors until further notice. Seattle's living in the
- 37:05Speaker 1: haunted House of Sam Darld And every Sunday and sometimes
- 37:11Speaker 1: on Thursday, and occasionally on Monday, something goes bumpity bump
- 37:16Speaker 1: in the night and boom and the pigskin ends up
- 37:22Speaker 1: in the other team's hands. Time and time and time again.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor
- 37:32Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Here we all smaller. How about that? To the third degree?
- 37:41Speaker 1: This is one big vent gets grilled coolly so Man.
- 37:46Speaker 7: The other day we talked about Matthew Stafford being the
- 37:48Speaker 7: favorite for MVP, but now it seems that the Rams
- 37:51Speaker 7: are also the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Are you that confident, Ben.
- 37:57Speaker 1: No, it's wide open. It's the Rams have a very
- 38:00Speaker 1: good team. They have a good shot of getting through
- 38:02Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But it's not like they're a lock.
- 38:05Speaker 1: There's three or four teams in the AFC and the
- 38:07Speaker 1: NFC that you can go with. The Rams If the
- 38:11Speaker 1: defense continues to play the way they're playing, there's no
- 38:14Speaker 1: reason they cannot reach the Super Bowl. Philadelphia is beatable
- 38:18Speaker 1: without They just beat Seattle. They got no chance with
- 38:21Speaker 1: Sam Darnold Green Bay. There's no invincible team. You look
- 38:24Speaker 1: at the top teams in the NFC, there's no one's
- 38:26Speaker 1: like invincible.
- 38:26Speaker 7: Right next, Joe Flacco spoke with the media on Wednesday
- 38:29Speaker 7: and said that he would like a starting opportunity in
- 38:31Speaker 7: twenty twenty six.
- 38:32Speaker 4: Do you think someone will give it to him?
- 38:34Speaker 1: Yes. What he needs to do is go down to
- 38:35Speaker 1: Best Buy and buy Madden Football twenty seven when it
- 38:38Speaker 1: comes out, and he will be able to play as
- 38:41Speaker 1: QB one on that game. I think he'll be able
- 38:43Speaker 1: to do very well. Now, of course he'll start. If
- 38:46Speaker 1: he wants to keep playing, he'll be picked up by
- 38:49Speaker 1: somebody coop as a backup, high end, backup and bad team.
- 38:53Speaker 1: He'll get a chance to start. He's not gonna be
- 38:55Speaker 1: a QB one next.
- 38:56Speaker 7: With Nico Harrison gone, Mark Cuban is back in the
- 38:58Speaker 7: decision making mix with the MAVs. How long do you
- 39:01Speaker 7: think it'll take him to undo the damage.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Now, that is just a pr move he's not making
- 39:06Speaker 1: any decisions. He just has a seat at the table,
