Speaker 1: Ben Maller show back for a brand new week. Happy Monday, Monday, Monday.
0:12
Speaker 1: It's the ninth day of the month of November. And
0:16
Speaker 1: we are back at it on the hot microphones of FSR.
0:20
Speaker 1: Here in our number one, it's all about that Sunday
0:23
Speaker 1: night NFL game. Who gets the biggest piece of the
0:26
Speaker 1: Cuban sandwich of blame for Todd Bowles' Bucs? They were
0:30
Speaker 1: getting blown out early, came back, Chicago turned the ball
0:34
Speaker 1: over five times, and Tampa still lost the game. So
0:37
Speaker 1: who gets the biggest piece of the Cuban sandwich of
0:39
Speaker 1: blame for the Buccaneers? Also, Is the Bears' Caleb Williams
0:44
Speaker 1: becoming the NFL's ultimate high-wire act? Equal parts Houdini and
0:50
Speaker 1: evil Knievel. Is the Bears quarterback very arrogant? He says
0:55
Speaker 1: if he throws 100 interceptions, he's still going to keep
0:58
Speaker 1: throwing the way he does. Okay. Also, where do the
1:03
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson Bears sit among the NFL big boys? They
1:07
Speaker 1: are 7-2 on the season. We'll talk about that as well.
1:11
Speaker 1: All of it's coming your way right now. Your second
1:14
Speaker 1: bite of the apple. It's our number one. Well, it
1:20
Speaker 1: was a bear jamboree. You get a turnover. You get
1:24
Speaker 1: a turn. Everyone gets a turnover. It doesn't even matter
1:27
Speaker 1: in the end. Welcome in the beginning of a brand
1:32
Speaker 1: new week of the Ben Maler show. We are in
1:35
Speaker 1: the air everywhere making. An audio connection as we attempt
1:43
Speaker 1: to navigate, circumnavigate the choppy waters of the overnight coast
1:49
Speaker 1: to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast
1:53
Speaker 1: and bluntly powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the
2:04
Speaker 1: blanket as we put a blanket on everything going on

2:15
Speaker 1: E-Dog said, hey, Mallard, can you give me some bull?
2:18
Speaker 1: I said, I'll give you some bull, but that's only

2:55
Speaker 1: We start out. The frozen tundra. Not frozen yet. It's
3:00
Speaker 1: early November. Got to wait a little bit for it
3:03
Speaker 1: to be frozen. It wasn't frozen. But it was a
3:05
Speaker 1: cool night in Chicago. And there we were. Sweet home Chicago.
3:12
Speaker 1: The big game of the weekend. That's what everyone says.
3:15
Speaker 1: The Sunday night game. The biggest game, the final chapter
3:20
Speaker 1: of the Sunday card for Week 9 in the NFL.
3:23
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneer pirate ship entering the stormy
3:28
Speaker 1: waters around the Bears. And Caleb Williams there visiting the Bears' den.
3:34
Speaker 1: Mike Tirico not there. Out with some kind of mystery ailment.
3:38
Speaker 1: Who knows what that is? Hopefully it's nothing big. But
3:41
Speaker 1: he didn't do the game. And you had Noah Eagle,
3:44
Speaker 1: former Clippers broadcaster, Noah Eagle... Call the game with Chris
3:49
Speaker 1: Collinsworth on NBC. There they had the call. Not sure
3:53
Speaker 1: if you were watching or not. Perhaps you were staring
3:56
Speaker 1: at a wall. Seems like a fun thing to do.
3:59
Speaker 1: Not sure. Well, don't worry. We watch so you would
4:01
Speaker 1: not have to watch. And that is our public service
4:04
Speaker 1: to you. Our good mitzvah of the day. We checked
4:06
Speaker 1: it out and game was a blowout early until it
4:11
Speaker 1: wasn't the bears look like they're going to win this
4:13
Speaker 1: game by 30 points then they had to play the
4:15
Speaker 1: rest of the game and in the end chicago needed
4:18
Speaker 1: caleb williams to find colston loveland on a 38 yard
4:23
Speaker 1: blown coverage by the buccaneers setting up chip shot basically
4:28
Speaker 1: for a modern kicker chip shot field goal opportunity for
4:32
Speaker 1: cairo santos the 38-yard out field goal. 38-yard out field goal. Good.
4:37
Speaker 1: Time expires. The Bears. The Bears pick up a sloppy
4:42
Speaker 1: 27-24 victory over Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers. A game.
4:49
Speaker 1: that featured all kinds of turnovers. Now, you know how
4:52
Speaker 1: we operate in these parts. The better story is in
4:55
Speaker 1: the losing locker room, so we will start out on
4:57
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay side of things. A good jumping-off point.
5:01
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers did what many feel is impossible to do.
5:05
Speaker 1: If you are given the football as often as the
5:09
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay football team is given on that night, you
5:13
Speaker 1: assume there's no way you can lose. And they somehow
5:16
Speaker 1: did it. So the question, who gets the biggest piece
5:20
Speaker 1: of the Cuban sandwich for Todd Bowles Buccaneers? The Cuban
5:24
Speaker 1: sandwich of blame for Todd Bowles Buccaneers as they go
5:29
Speaker 1: down in flames in this game. Well, Baker Mayfield, a
5:34
Speaker 1: couple of interceptions, not nearly as many as the opposing quarterback,
5:40
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, had in this game. There was one massive...
5:46
Speaker 1: Boner by Baker Mayfield, the pick six, which gave Chicago
5:51
Speaker 1: the touchdown on the ill-advised pass. Here's Todd Bowles pointing
5:55
Speaker 1: out that was not the greatest decision in the world.
5:59
Speaker 2: He had his mind made up.
6:00
Speaker 1: Probably should have thrown it somewhere else.
6:02
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's easy to say in hindsight, but we.
6:06
Speaker 1: Don't like turnovers. We've been doing a good job of
6:08
Speaker 1: not turning it over. We can't turn it over.
6:10
Speaker 2: He knows that, and he understands that.
6:13
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. I like Todd Bowles. Not a good coach.
6:16
Speaker 1: He's a much better soundbite than coach. He's fun. Todd Bowles.
6:20
Speaker 1: He's not your normal BS artist. Here is Baker Mayfield.
6:24
Speaker 1: Good old Baker Mayfield. Couple of turnovers. Gave up the
6:28
Speaker 1: pick six. Somehow was the starting quarterback of a team
6:32
Speaker 1: that was given the football five times and lost. What
6:34
Speaker 1: do you have to say for yourself, Baker Mayfield?
6:37
Speaker 3: Obviously, the turnovers for us on intercept. Don't want to
6:39
Speaker 3: have them ever, but especially when it turns into immediate
6:42
Speaker 3: points on the pick six. You know, that obviously was
6:44
Speaker 3: the difference in the game. You know, defense, after they
6:47
Speaker 3: settled in, played amazing. So it's got to make the throws.
6:50
Speaker 3: You got to be more accurate. You know, first one,
6:53
Speaker 3: the guy made a good play on it, drove.
6:54
Speaker 4: On the ball.
6:55
Speaker 3: So you either got to put it outside or move
6:57
Speaker 3: to the progression. And second one, yeah, location on the ball.
7:00
Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson right there.
7:01
Speaker 1: It just, it sucks. Oh, it sucks so bad. Anyway,
7:05
Speaker 1: let's discuss. The question, who gets, as we said, who
7:08
Speaker 1: gets the biggest piece of the Cuban sandwich of blame
7:12
Speaker 1: for Todd Bowles and the Buccaneers? So I've got Heinz ketchup,
7:16
Speaker 1: clogged toilet, and the Waze traffic app. And we will
7:20
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and be absorbed in thought.
7:26
Speaker 1: We will be absorbed in thought. So, A, let's start
7:29
Speaker 1: with the obvious. You heard from Baker Mayfield there. That's
7:32
Speaker 1: the obvious one. You're the quarterback. It's your job to
7:35
Speaker 1: not F up like that. He F'd up like that.
7:38
Speaker 1: Bad job by him. And the thing that kills me
7:41
Speaker 1: about Baker is that this is a guy that came
7:43
Speaker 1: out here and bitched and complained about his contract. The
7:47
Speaker 1: Buccaneers were skeptical whether to pay this guy. They caved
7:51
Speaker 1: in to public sentiment, which I don't even know if
7:53
Speaker 1: that was real or not, social media manipulation. So Baker
7:57
Speaker 1: was out there complaining about his contract during training camp.
7:59
Speaker 1: The Bucs paid him three years, $ 165 million. And his
8:04
Speaker 1: quarterback skill, he specializes in swagger. That's his skill. He
8:08
Speaker 1: does commercials. Oh, he used to do commercials, a lot
8:10
Speaker 1: of commercials. And occasionally completes a pass. Last week, he
8:14
Speaker 1: completed no passes in the rain game. against the Atlanta Falcons.
8:19
Speaker 1: But Chicago wanted to give this game away. They really did.
8:24
Speaker 1: They didn't want the game. I don't know why they
8:25
Speaker 1: didn't want the game. It seems like a game they
8:27
Speaker 1: should want, but they didn't seem to want the game.
8:29
Speaker 1: And Baker wasn't having it. He was not going to
8:32
Speaker 1: allow the Bears to give the game away. Wasn't going
8:36
Speaker 1: to do it. And the Bears were playing Santa Claus.
8:40
Speaker 1: It is almost the holiday season, but it's kind of
8:43
Speaker 1: now it is. We had Halloween, Thanksgiving coming up in
8:45
Speaker 1: a few weeks, and then So they were in the
8:48
Speaker 1: holiday spirit, the Bears with the Santa Claus, and then
8:52
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, he was the Grinch who stole Tampa Bay's
8:56
Speaker 1: victory and gave it to Chicago and said, here, you
8:59
Speaker 1: have it. I don't want it. You can have it.
9:01
Speaker 1: That's it. Knock yourself out. They said, okay, we will
9:04
Speaker 1: take it. The only guy who could find a way,
9:06
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, to lose a game, the other team was
9:10
Speaker 1: literally begging you to win. It was ridiculous how many
9:14
Speaker 1: turnovers Caleb Williams had. It was insane. Every time I
9:18
Speaker 1: turned away from the TV, I looked up. There's another
9:20
Speaker 1: interception and another one and another one and another one.
9:23
Speaker 1: Another one bites the dust and another one bites the dust.
9:26
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's defense delivered a five-course gourmet meal. Five-course gourmet meal.
9:34
Speaker 1: And Baker Mayfield, the offense, showed up with an expired
9:37
Speaker 1: bottle of of Heinz ketchup, and that's what they had. Well, no,
9:41
Speaker 1: you don't need that. I know, but we brought it.
9:44
Speaker 1: But you don't need it. And we know we brought it,
9:46
Speaker 1: so that's what we're going to use it. That's what
9:47
Speaker 1: we're going to do. And it's like you're winning five
9:50
Speaker 1: free vacations in some raffle and then somehow ending up
9:54
Speaker 1: at a Motel 6. That doesn't seem all that great there.
9:57
Speaker 1: So this follows this El Stink. from Baker Mayfield following
10:02
Speaker 1: a zero-completion game in the rain, as we said, against
10:05
Speaker 1: the Falcons. And so Mayfield serving up that 67-yard pick-six
10:11
Speaker 1: to Jalen Johnson of the Bears. And so Tampa Bay...
10:16
Speaker 1: who's still very much in the thick of everything, even
10:18
Speaker 1: though they got off to a miserable start because of
10:20
Speaker 1: the division, division, division, division, division, which is garbage. Garbage.
10:27
Speaker 1: There must be a rule. They can't have good teams
10:30
Speaker 1: in the southern divisions, the AFC and the NFC. There's
10:33
Speaker 1: so many crap bag teams in the NFC and the
10:37
Speaker 1: AFC South. It's redonkulous. Meanwhile, to the Chicago side of things,
10:41
Speaker 1: where Caleb Williams survived the worst interception nightmare of his
10:46
Speaker 1: football life. A lot of the media dorks were having
10:51
Speaker 1: a field day with this. The four interceptions for Caleb Williams,
10:55
Speaker 1: a historically bad performance by the Bears quarterback, but Chicago
10:59
Speaker 1: still escaped Soldier Field with a win. Now, Williams postgame,
11:03
Speaker 1: he accepted responsibility. He blamed poor decisions. The throwaways where
11:09
Speaker 1: generally if you throw the ball away, you want someone
11:11
Speaker 1: who's eating a hot dog to get the ball. He
11:14
Speaker 1: decided to throw the ball away to Tampa Bay, which
11:16
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. But he
11:19
Speaker 1: admitted that was a bad job by him. So there
11:22
Speaker 1: was a tip pass that was intercepted. It was one
11:25
Speaker 1: thing after another there for Caleb Williams. And he did
11:27
Speaker 1: attempt to accept responsibility. The 36-game streak. of avoiding multiple
11:34
Speaker 1: interceptions has ended. And it ended with a bang. Kaboom! Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom. Yeah, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Now,
11:45
Speaker 1: Williams did come up with the 38-yard pass play, as
11:48
Speaker 1: we talked about, if you saw the game, to Colston Loveland,
11:51
Speaker 1: which set up the really makeable field goal, which was
11:55
Speaker 1: made by Cairo Santos. So the Bears... When anyway, here
11:59
Speaker 1: is Caleb Williams pointing out that, hey, listen, no matter what,
12:04
Speaker 1: I'm going to do what I'm going to do. That's
12:05
Speaker 1: what I do.
12:07
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw until I can't throw anymore. That's
12:10
Speaker 2: how I live. I work my tail off to be
12:13
Speaker 2: in this position. I'll never not throw the ball. I
12:17
Speaker 2: could throw 100 picks in one game. If it comes
12:20
Speaker 2: down to it, I'm going to throw that pass that
12:21
Speaker 2: I threw to Colson, or if it's a tighter window,
12:24
Speaker 2: I'm going to rip it in there.
12:25
Speaker 1: That's how I grew up. That's what I am.
12:27
Speaker 2: I don't get gun shy. That's not me. That's not
12:31
Speaker 2: my identity. That's not who I am. With that, I'm
12:35
Speaker 2: going to keep ripping it, keep ripping it. And coach
12:37
Speaker 2: calls it. It's time to go make a play. Go
12:38
Speaker 2: through my reads. If it's not there, check it down.
12:40
Speaker 2: If the shot's there, take it.
12:42
Speaker 1: So he contradicted himself at the end, but the Bears
12:45
Speaker 1: are porked if that's the way he's going to play.
12:47
Speaker 1: They're cooked. They are so screwed. They're not going to
12:49
Speaker 1: win anything with this guy. They're done if that's the
12:52
Speaker 1: way he's going to approach it. He tried to couch
12:54
Speaker 1: it a little bit at the end. That sounds to
12:56
Speaker 1: me like a loser quarterback. You just threw four interceptions. Now,
13:01
Speaker 1: he tried, you know, with some of these sound bites
13:03
Speaker 1: I saw, he was trying to be accountable. Then he
13:05
Speaker 1: comes back and says, I'm going to continue to chuck
13:07
Speaker 1: the ball no matter what. That's a good way to
13:11
Speaker 1: get yourself a podcast and not play quarterback anymore in
13:14
Speaker 1: the NFL.
13:15
Speaker 5: All right.
13:15
Speaker 1: So the question is, the Bears quarterback, Caleb Williams, becoming
13:20
Speaker 1: the NFL's ultimate high wire act. You got to, you know,
13:24
Speaker 1: what do you got? Equal parts Houdini and evil Knievel
13:29
Speaker 1: mixed in there. A little bit of this, a little
13:30
Speaker 1: bit of that. So based on that response that we heard,
13:34
Speaker 1: how do you not nod your head yes? Based on that,
13:38
Speaker 1: you said the numbers don't back that up. Now the
13:40
Speaker 1: Mallard diagnosis on this particular game. Let me make my
13:44
Speaker 1: elevator pitch. I came up with this on the long
13:46
Speaker 1: drive from the Northwoods here to the studio. So here
13:50
Speaker 1: is the Mallard diagnosis that I believe Caleb Williams is
13:55
Speaker 1: trying to impress an exotic bird. the Peacock, that this
14:00
Speaker 1: was an island game. Island game, NBC, national television, big audience,
14:08
Speaker 1: not regional coverage. This was the national broadcast. You had
14:12
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth there who was serving up, if you had
14:15
Speaker 1: the audio up the first half, serving up a supersized, mega, mega, mega,
14:20
Speaker 1: big gulp, 7-11 slurpee. Slurpee, slurpee, slurpee all over Caleb Williams.
14:25
Speaker 1: It was X-rated that first quarter. My God, that was unbelievable.
14:31
Speaker 1: That was quarterback worship to a tee from Chris Collinsworth.
14:36
Speaker 1: And then the game kept going, and that was where
14:38
Speaker 1: the problem settled in. Caleb, it seemed like he must
14:42
Speaker 1: not have been hearing the broadcast. It seemed like he did, though.
14:44
Speaker 1: He got a little drunk there with his own head.
14:48
Speaker 1: Superman syndrome, you want to call it? After weeks of
14:51
Speaker 1: relatively clean football for the Bears, the sporadic malfunctions popped
14:56
Speaker 1: off for Caleb Williams against Tampa Bay. Second, third quarter.
15:02
Speaker 1: And Williams hopping aboard the express plane on the Vomit Comet.
15:07
Speaker 1: And he was right there forcing throws, chasing the highlight,
15:10
Speaker 1: real glory. As he talked about, he said, that's who
15:14
Speaker 1: I am. That's who I want to be. And that's
15:16
Speaker 1: who he's going to be. And the Bears aren't going
15:18
Speaker 1: to win jack squat with him playing like that. So
15:20
Speaker 1: good luck. You're cooked. Bad job. Unless somebody can somehow
15:26
Speaker 1: mess with the mind of Caleb Williams, good luck on this.
15:29
Speaker 1: That is the worst possible scenario. I just threw four. Hey, Caleb,
15:34
Speaker 1: you just threw four interceptions. What are you going to do?
15:36
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw four more, baby. Yeah, that's what
15:39
Speaker 1: I'm going to do. Okay, way to go. Outstanding. Yeah.
15:43
Speaker 1: He played quarterback like a teenager trying to impress their
15:48
Speaker 1: prom date, you know, trying to put on a show.
15:51
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure based on the first, The first
15:56
Speaker 1: couple of interceptions, really just all of them, but the
15:58
Speaker 1: first two in particular, it was like Caleb giving the
16:01
Speaker 1: Bears fans some food poisoning, and then he, at the
16:04
Speaker 1: very end, was able to hand them some Pepto-Bismol on
16:08
Speaker 1: the final drive, which set up the game-winning field goal.
16:11
Speaker 1: So congratulations, you cleaned up your mess, and so you
16:16
Speaker 1: don't get the full wrath that you would have gotten
16:18
Speaker 1: had the outcome been different and Tampa Bay wins, but
16:21
Speaker 1: we are... true here on these microphones. We don't need
16:25
Speaker 1: the final score to dictate the commentary. We can give
16:27
Speaker 1: you the real commentary no matter what, and based on
16:30
Speaker 1: the soundbite and all that stuff. And it's like, you
16:32
Speaker 1: don't get credit for winning a game you were favored by,
16:35
Speaker 1: what was it, six-point line? Chicago favored by six. They
16:39
Speaker 1: were up two touchdowns early and then needed to make
16:42
Speaker 1: a play late just to end up in a tie
16:44
Speaker 1: game in the final minute to win the game against
16:48
Speaker 1: an under-500 Tampa Bay team. So, Good luck on that.
16:53
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is like the guy that clogs the toilet.
16:56
Speaker 1: You clog the toilet, and then you demand a standing
16:59
Speaker 1: ovation because you found the plunger, which was in the
17:02
Speaker 1: other room for some reason, and you had to go
17:05
Speaker 1: looking for the plunger, and so you want credit because
17:07
Speaker 1: you found the plunger. Well, you don't get credit for
17:09
Speaker 1: finding the plunger. You clogged the toilet. A bad job
17:11
Speaker 1: by you. All right, last word. So big picture here.
17:15
Speaker 1: Big picture now. Question, where do the Ben Johnson-coached Bears
17:21
Speaker 1: sit among the NFL's big boys? Where do they sit?
17:27
Speaker 1: So I have Chicago on Big Ben's big board, not
17:30
Speaker 1: a list. We used to have this guy Terry in
17:32
Speaker 1: England who quit the show, but when he was a
17:34
Speaker 1: regular listener, he would complain about lists. It's not a list.
17:37
Speaker 1: This is a big board. It's a big board, right?
17:40
Speaker 1: And so Chicago, if you look at the big board there,
17:44
Speaker 1: Chicago is in the good, not great category. The Maller
17:48
Speaker 1: report card on the state of the Bears as we
17:51
Speaker 1: are at the midway point, week nine of the NFL season.
17:54
Speaker 1: It's an 18-week season. So the Maller report card, the
17:58
Speaker 1: Bears are– it's promising. However, the report is an I. Incomplete.
18:06
Speaker 1: Gold star for effort. Seven and two, sexy record and
18:10
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And then the occasional stupidity of– the Bears. So,
18:18
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, certainly they've upgraded from where they were before
18:21
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson got there. There's no question about that. I'm
18:24
Speaker 1: still not convinced. Now, on a positive note, I will
18:27
Speaker 1: be Benny Brightside. Yeah, the jury's out on Caleb Williams
18:31
Speaker 1: and his soundbite made you think they're never going to
18:34
Speaker 1: win anything because that's the kind of stuff that loser
18:36
Speaker 1: quarterbacks say. I'm not going to change. I'm going to
18:39
Speaker 1: keep doing what I'm doing. Okay, thank you. So, not Mr.
18:45
Speaker 3: Smooth.
18:45
Speaker 1: He just needed to dump the ball off and play conservative.
18:48
Speaker 1: He had a two-touchdown lead. Tampa's not doing much of anything.
18:52
Speaker 1: And he went for the razzle-dazzle is what he went for.
18:55
Speaker 1: But the positivity is this. When you look at the
19:00
Speaker 1: traffic situation in the NFL halfway through the season, I
19:04
Speaker 1: looked at the Waze traffic app. They have a special
19:06
Speaker 1: NFL feature on that. So I looked at the NFL feature,
19:10
Speaker 1: and it showed right there the Bears– are right in
19:14
Speaker 1: the middle of what's called a gridlock situation on the highway.
19:18
Speaker 1: A lot of gridlock here. There's nobody that I've looked
19:23
Speaker 1: at that I say is head and shoulders above everyone
19:26
Speaker 1: else in the NFL at this point. Do you see anybody?
19:30
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be the Rams. And the Rams
19:32
Speaker 1: won again. They're over 500 and all that. Buffalo is 6-1.
19:38
Speaker 1: They've got a really nice record. One loss, all that.
19:42
Speaker 1: Terrible defense. Absolute God awful defense. All right. Horrific defense. However,
19:49
Speaker 1: they are the top team in the AFC. The Broncos
19:53
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback and they're seven and two. Jacksonville
19:56
Speaker 1: plays in a suck bag division. They're six and two.
19:58
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's a plotting team. They're six and two. Kansas City
20:03
Speaker 1: has been up and down a couple of bad losses,
20:06
Speaker 1: and then they bounce back and beat up the Jets.
20:09
Speaker 1: So they got a couple of losses. And then the
20:12
Speaker 1: 49ers have to deal with that electrical substation in the NFC.
20:15
Speaker 1: That's a problem. The Minnesota Vikings, they don't have a quarterback.
20:19
Speaker 1: The Giants play in a suck bag division. Nobody takes
20:22
Speaker 1: them seriously. Carolina right now would be the number four
20:25
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC. They're two games under. 500. They're garbage.
20:29
Speaker 1: They're absolute garbage. The Bears would be the number five
20:32
Speaker 1: seed at this point. Not that we care about the
20:34
Speaker 1: seeds yet. Anyway, it is the Ben Maller Show. If

22:22
Speaker 6: Rhys Davis, host of College Game Day, is with us now.
22:24
Speaker 6: And then I'm going home to the BBC, and they're
22:28
Speaker 6: saying Jockovich instead of Jokovich.
22:30
Speaker 1: Right, because you can't say Jockovich.
22:32
Speaker 6: If you do, you know the blowback you're going to
22:34
Speaker 6: get from the American audience.
22:35
Speaker 1: Right. And a whole lot of this.

Speaker 1: what will be the ninth day of November for everybody.
23:06
Speaker 1: Right around the corner. Reminder, we had a full weekend
23:09
Speaker 1: of podcasts. The fifth hour podcast, bloviating away all weekend long.
23:15
Speaker 1: Fresh audio content, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with the mailbag.
23:19
Speaker 1: On Sunday with our friend Gonzo. who is in charge
23:24
Speaker 1: of the pod, he's taken over. It's a revolving door.
23:29
Speaker 1: We've had many people over the years. People cannot handle
23:33
Speaker 1: that gig. Gascon retired to Florida. We had Danny G.
23:38
Speaker 1: He couldn't handle working on the weekends anymore. Then we
23:41
Speaker 1: had Bree. She lasted about two minutes. And now we've
23:43
Speaker 1: got Gonzo. So we'll see. We love Gonzo. He's got
23:47
Speaker 1: good energy, and we'll see how this goes. He takes over.
23:52
Speaker 1: He was in the mailbags, despite many complaints by people saying,
23:57
Speaker 1: I don't want to be on the mailbag. We'll get
23:58
Speaker 1: you back on. We'll rotate. We're rotating people in. If
24:02
Speaker 1: you want to be part of this radio show, 877-99-ON-FOX.
24:04
Speaker 1: That's 877-996-6369. Also on X, at Ben Maller. That's at
24:07
Speaker 1: Ben Maller. And here, hanging out, hitting all the buttons,
24:19
Speaker 1: our buddy Marky Mark is in the house. We had
24:22
Speaker 1: him on the Bears plate. I'm sure he loved the
24:23
Speaker 1: fact that he had to come into work after the
24:25
Speaker 1: Bears game. Really appreciated that. But Mark is here. If
24:27
Speaker 1: you want to say hello to Mark, he is on
24:30
Speaker 1: the X Machine at MarkRamsey64950. That's White Sox hat on.
24:36
Speaker 1: And Koopaloop at AllBroncoFan. That's AllBroncoFan. If you'd like to
24:41
Speaker 1: be part of the program, your comments can and will
24:44
Speaker 1: be used against you In the court of Sports Radio.
24:49
Speaker 1: I was hoping I'd get a bunch of Raider fans.
24:52
Speaker 1: Where are they at? They were so loud early in
24:56
Speaker 1: the year. Coop, are the phones working for the Raider fans?
24:59
Speaker 1: Have we blocked all the Raider fans? Where are the
25:01
Speaker 1: Raider fans? They must have all lost cell service or something.
25:05
Speaker 1: I guess so. They were so cocky and confident. All
25:10
Speaker 1: the Raiders are back. They told me the Raiders are back, Coop.
25:13
Speaker 1: They told me that. They told me that I was wrong.
25:15
Speaker 1: And it's weird. We last heard from them like a
25:17
Speaker 1: month ago. It's very strange that all of the Raider
25:20
Speaker 1: fans that were so arrogant, walking around with their tail
25:23
Speaker 1: feathers up, after a couple of garbage wins early in
25:27
Speaker 1: the year, the team blows! The worst 3-0 team in
25:31
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL, validated by their suckbag record
25:36
Speaker 1: ever since then. And yeah, the win against the Jets
25:38
Speaker 1: doesn't count a couple weeks ago. Every time they play
25:41
Speaker 1: a real team, what happens? What happens? Bug to the windshield.
25:46
Speaker 1: Bug to the windshield. And I think we should take
25:50
Speaker 1: some time out. I was going to do a full
25:51
Speaker 1: monologue on this, but I don't want to. It's not
25:53
Speaker 1: my style to dogpile. You know, I want to dogpile
25:55
Speaker 1: on the Raiders when they're down like that. But congratulations
25:59
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. They lost 38-17 to the 49ers. By
26:02
Speaker 1: the way, I was obviously not at that game, but
26:04
Speaker 1: some of the fight videos, holy crap. Yeah. My God.
26:08
Speaker 1: Bunch of animals. Calm down, people. It's just a dumb
26:12
Speaker 1: football game. What are you doing? It was unbelievable. Seriously.
26:16
Speaker 1: It was like Sodom and Gomorrah. Inside the stadium, outside
26:20
Speaker 1: the stadium. Seriously, what are you doing?
26:21
Speaker 2: I saw one dude was unconscious and just kept getting
26:26
Speaker 2: pummeled in the head like 15 times.
26:28
Speaker 1: That's how you end up in jail for manslaughter. That's
26:30
Speaker 1: a manslaughter charge. You kill somebody like that. But the
26:33
Speaker 1: Raiders lose by 21 points to the 49ers. And you
26:36
Speaker 1: know what that means? That is their 39th loss of
26:39
Speaker 1: 20 or more points since Mark Davis became the owner. Congratulations.
26:43
Speaker 1: Only the Jets... Only the Jets have lost more by
26:46
Speaker 1: that many points. So congratulations to the Raiders. Remember, commitment
26:50
Speaker 1: to excellence. The Raiders do it yet again. Tremendous job
26:55
Speaker 1: by the boys there. And Tom Brady. Yeah, you can't
26:59
Speaker 1: rip Tom Brady. He's Tom Brady. All right. Well, he
27:02
Speaker 1: is the de facto GM. He's the GM by proxy.
27:06
Speaker 1: And that's on him. The Baltimore Freeloader account writes and says,
27:10
Speaker 1: I think Caleb Williams just threw another interception. Nobody should
27:15
Speaker 1: feel good about that guy. Meanwhile, how come any time
27:19
Speaker 1: somebody throws sidearm, out comes the Kent to Colby reference?
27:25
Speaker 1: Is there a more updated reference? I'm glad this brought it.
27:30
Speaker 1: Thank you, Baltimore Freeloader account. I needed to get to this. So,
27:34
Speaker 1: I'm getting old. Mark, you're probably old, too. You know
27:36
Speaker 1: who Kent DeColvi is, right? You are familiar with him. Yes,
27:40
Speaker 1: I do. I bet you, Coop, you don't know who
27:42
Speaker 1: Kent DeColvi is, do you? Never heard that name in
27:44
Speaker 1: my life. Exactly. He was a successful relief pitcher for
27:47
Speaker 1: the Pirates, right, in the 70s and the 80s and
27:50
Speaker 1: played for some other teams. But Chris Collinsworth... always brings
27:55
Speaker 1: up Kent DeCulvey. That must have been the most important
27:58
Speaker 1: baseball player when he was a little kid. He must
28:01
Speaker 1: have just loved the weird, wanky delivery of Kent DeCulvey, right?
28:06
Speaker 1: Because he brings him up all the time. And the
28:09
Speaker 1: funniest thing... And I actually was texting a bunch of
28:11
Speaker 1: people about this during the game. I could not believe
28:13
Speaker 1: what I was hearing. Because it's not surprising that Chris
28:16
Speaker 1: Collinsworth would name Kent to Colby. Because Collinsworth, he's older
28:21
Speaker 1: than I am. And you remember certain things about your
28:24
Speaker 1: childhood as a sports fan. For Collinsworth, this was a
28:27
Speaker 1: big deal. So he brings the name up and then
28:29
Speaker 1: he's working with Noah Eagle, who's a kid, right? Noah
28:33
Speaker 1: Eagle's a kid. He's a prodigy. He's amazing. He'll be
28:36
Speaker 1: doing that job if he wants it for the next 45,
28:38
Speaker 1: 50 years. He's an amazing broadcaster. He's really good. And
28:42
Speaker 1: it bothers me he's so good because he's a nepo baby,
28:44
Speaker 1: but he's so good. And he's just great. Just freaking
28:47
Speaker 1: wonderful at that job. I mean, as good as anybody.
28:50
Speaker 1: So Collinsworth tosses, he brings out the Kent to Colby reference.
28:56
Speaker 1: Did anyone else catch this? So he brings up Kent
28:58
Speaker 1: to Colby and then says, I figure exactly, I'm paraphrasing.
29:01
Speaker 1: He says to Noah Eagle, you know who I'm talking about?
29:04
Speaker 1: Like something like that. And Noah Eagle's like, yeah! You know,
29:07
Speaker 1: he plays along. So I went and I looked. All right,
29:10
Speaker 1: so Kent to Colby, last pitch, he was washed up, 1989.
29:15
Speaker 1: Noah Eagle was born in 1996. There is no chance
29:20
Speaker 1: that Noah Eagle has any idea, nor should he, who
29:24
Speaker 1: Kent DeCovey is. But it's just great. That and Al
29:29
Speaker 1: Michaels bringing up the Big Red Machine on Amazon broadcast
29:32
Speaker 1: on Thursday. These old baseball references are just wonderful. Anyway,
29:37
Speaker 1: Overnight Joe chimes in. He says, I heard those idiots
29:40
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio this afternoon saying that the Browns
29:44
Speaker 1: should go for the tie today in overtime instead of
29:46
Speaker 1: the win when they went for the two-point conversion. This
29:50
Speaker 1: is the NFL, not high school. Your thoughts? Go Bill. Yeah,
29:54
Speaker 1: you're the Browns. I don't have a problem with the
29:58
Speaker 1: going for two. I like it. It's not my job
30:00
Speaker 1: on the line. I ain't going to lose my job
30:01
Speaker 1: if you go for two in overtime. It doesn't affect
30:03
Speaker 1: me at all. It's much more entertaining to watch, and
30:06
Speaker 1: nobody wants ties. There should be no ties. I've never
30:09
Speaker 1: met anyone who I have any respect for who likes
30:12
Speaker 1: a tie. In fact, I don't even like wearing ties.
30:16
Speaker 1: I hate ties. I hate all ties. I can't stand ties.
30:20
Speaker 1: Ties blow. Get rid of ties. King Rory writes in
30:24
Speaker 1: from the Frozen Tundra. He says, is the NFC North
30:29
Speaker 1: just that damn good or are their opponents just that bad? Granted,
30:34
Speaker 1: if the playoffs were today, all four teams from the
30:36
Speaker 1: NFC North would be in the playoffs. But I don't
30:39
Speaker 1: believe any of them are a Super Bowl caliber team. Well,
30:44
Speaker 1: there's a lot of that, though. That's my point. It's
30:48
Speaker 1: not great talk radio, but I wish there was one team.
30:50
Speaker 1: I said, that's the team. King Rory, you're piggybacking my belief.
30:56
Speaker 1: But when you look at the upper echelon of the NFL,
30:59
Speaker 1: the top teams, and it's just like, eh. Now, if
31:03
Speaker 1: the season were to end today, we like to do
31:05
Speaker 1: this from time to time, if the season were to
31:06
Speaker 1: end today, what would the playoff matchups be? We'll do
31:09
Speaker 1: that a little later. But right now, as of this moment,
31:12
Speaker 1: the L.A. Rams would not be in the playoffs. Seattle
31:16
Speaker 1: would not be in the playoffs at this moment. Let's
31:19
Speaker 1: go to the phones. Andre, Andre, Andre is in the Commonwealth,
31:22
Speaker 1: and he is up next. Hello, Andre. Welcome.
31:26
Speaker 5: Ben, good to be with you. Willis is here. Willis
31:31
Speaker 5: is going to calm down because he's a little bit
31:34
Speaker 5: out of order. You know who's also out of order?
31:36
Speaker 5: Caleb Wilson. Caleb Williams, excuse me. Caleb Wilson's playing very
31:39
Speaker 5: good for the Chicago Bears. But Caleb Williams, three interceptions
31:44
Speaker 5: in a game where they should have beat the brakes
31:46
Speaker 5: off of this Buccaneers team, had them on the ropes,
31:49
Speaker 5: caused Ben Johnson to go conservative with the offense, end
31:52
Speaker 5: up almost losing this game. He had a field goal
31:54
Speaker 5: at the end to lose this game. And Willis.
31:58
Speaker 1: who, again, is out of order to get his treatment.
32:01
Speaker 5: He's fired up. People in New England are fired up, too, Ben.
32:04
Speaker 5: You know, had Rob Gronkowski's retirement, but then the team
32:08
Speaker 5: goes out there and quite a dud against the upstart
32:11
Speaker 5: Green Bay Packers. Back to Caleb Williamson. I think he's
32:15
Speaker 5: going to get that right. I did think this was
32:18
Speaker 5: an opportunity for him to solidify himself as an elite quarterback.
32:23
Speaker 5: We realize we're missing Lamar. Lamar's down. All right, so
32:26
Speaker 5: that elite camp, you got Josh Allen, obviously. Joe Burrow
32:29
Speaker 5: is up there. Mahomes, Kansas City keeps winning, even though
32:32
Speaker 5: they're more run-dependent than they have been in years past.
32:35
Speaker 5: I was looking for an ensemble performance from Caleb Williams.
32:38
Speaker 5: I'm not saying it's going to be Michael Jackson at
32:41
Speaker 5: the Grammys in 83. when he brings out Billy Jean
32:45
Speaker 5: and sets the world on fire with Thriller. I didn't
32:47
Speaker 5: know if it was going to be that level, but
32:48
Speaker 5: I was like, hell, this is your moment. Game starts
32:51
Speaker 5: off fast, has a touchdown early on. I'm like, okay,
32:53
Speaker 5: we're ready to blow the doors off these guys. And
32:56
Speaker 5: the next thing you know, interception here, interception there. You
32:59
Speaker 5: have these barn burners, which NFL seems to continually have
33:03
Speaker 5: barn burners, you know, keeping you on the edge of
33:05
Speaker 5: your seat. It's neither here nor there. But, I thought
33:09
Speaker 5: it was a missed opportunity for the young man. Him,
33:13
Speaker 5: Drake May, they kind of are who we thought they were.
33:17
Speaker 5: Boy Wonders and coming out of college and the next Mahomes.
33:21
Speaker 5: You know, Jabari Parker was supposed to be the next LeBron.
33:23
Speaker 5: How'd that work out?
33:24
Speaker 1: Jabari Parker. I did not have my bingo card, Jabari Parker,
33:29
Speaker 1: getting a reference on this show, nor did I have
33:32
Speaker 1: Billie Jean in the 1983 award show. Did not have
33:36
Speaker 1: that either. See, Andre, you're going off the grid here, Andre.
33:41
Speaker 5: I have to do it, you know, based on the
33:43
Speaker 5: fact when Michael Jackson moonwalked across that stage, all right,
33:47
Speaker 5: Barry Gordy in the audience, the baton had been passed.
33:51
Speaker 1: You're a young guy here, Andre. I met you. You're
33:54
Speaker 1: younger than I am. That's quite the reference.
33:57
Speaker 5: Still, you know, I was born in the awesome 80s,
33:59
Speaker 5: so it's always going to be very near and dear
34:00
Speaker 5: to my heart. I have to bring in the awesome
34:02
Speaker 5: 80s references. But long story not so long. Listen, tomorrow
34:06
Speaker 5: we're going to see, okay? You got the movable force versus,
34:09
Speaker 5: I guess, the invincible, whatever that phrase goes. All right,
34:13
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, NBB quarterback, Minnesota elite defense. Yeah.
34:16
Speaker 1: They'll lock horns. It's going to be fun, right? That's
34:18
Speaker 1: a great, that's a good Monday night. That's better than good.
34:21
Speaker 1: That's a big-time Monday night game. Vikings don't have a quarterback.
34:23
Speaker 1: Can you win without a great quarterback? Yeah, randomly you
34:27
Speaker 1: can win, but can you win long-term? Can you win
34:29
Speaker 1: big playoff games? It does sporadically happen. But I am
34:33
Speaker 1: genuinely looking forward to watching the Monday night game. So
34:37
Speaker 1: I am fired up for that. I believe it will
34:39
Speaker 1: actually be– Be a fun night. It better not suck.
34:43
Speaker 1: It better not suck, Andre. I don't want this game
34:45
Speaker 1: to be over. Buffalo goes out by three touchdowns. And
34:47
Speaker 1: then Minnesota, it's done because they can't score. Who wants that?
34:52
Speaker 5: Right, right. I imagine it will be close back and
34:55
Speaker 5: forth down the wire. Got to give the advantage to Buffalo.
35:00
Speaker 5: Josh Allen. But Brian Flores, I'm going to give the
35:03
Speaker 5: edge to Buffalo. But long story not so long, a
35:06
Speaker 5: little bit disappointed. I thought the Bears could have. had
35:08
Speaker 5: a statement victory and really put themselves in the conversation,
35:11
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl conversation. You got the 49ers that have,
35:14
Speaker 5: you know, separated themselves from the pack. They're playing a
35:16
Speaker 5: very competitive division. But they couldn't come up with it, Caleb.
35:20
Speaker 5: You know, couldn't take, you know, call when his number was,
35:22
Speaker 5: couldn't answer when his number was called. All right, he's
35:24
Speaker 5: back in the pack in terms of the NFL quarterback.
35:27
Speaker 5: Thanks for taking the call, Ben.
35:28
Speaker 1: There he goes. Where he goes, only he knows. This
35:30
Speaker 1: is Andre. Of course, the argument for Chicago is they
35:33
Speaker 1: had their Super Bowl win over Seattle. That that was
35:37
Speaker 1: their big win. Everyone just came out and celebrated the Bears.
35:41
Speaker 1: They all got bubble bass and manis and pedis and
35:44
Speaker 1: the whole thing. They were the toast of the NFL
35:47
Speaker 1: for beating Seattle, who's not even a playoff team at
35:49
Speaker 1: this point. But nonetheless, that was the moment, right? Back-to-back
35:52
Speaker 1: island game wins. This is three island games in a row.
35:55
Speaker 1: New England, Seattle, and Tampa Bay. Win, win, win. And
36:01
Speaker 1: even if the Bears had won by 30 points, it
36:03
Speaker 1: would not have been a style point game against Tampa Bay.
36:06
Speaker 1: They were favored. You did what you were supposed to do.
36:08
Speaker 1: They didn't do what they were supposed to do. But
36:10
Speaker 1: coming off the win over Seattle on Monday night and
36:13
Speaker 1: then coming out, you had two touches. It's not like
36:15
Speaker 1: they came out flat, the Bears. They had a two-touchdown
36:18
Speaker 1: lead early. And then things went sideways. Big time. But
36:22
Speaker 1: they still... Win in the end. Well, interesting story out
36:26
Speaker 1: of Kansas City, as it would appear that there'll be
36:32
Speaker 1: a kicking change at Arrowhead Stadium. And Andy Reid has
36:38
Speaker 1: some decisions to make as the double disaster, Harrison Buckner. Buckner,
36:45
Speaker 1: the kicker, missed a 56-yard field goal against the Jets,
36:49
Speaker 1: received a second chance after an offside penalty. He missed
36:53
Speaker 1: again from 51 yards, both kicks sailing wide right, and
36:58
Speaker 1: he was serenaded. with boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo from the Kansas City fans
37:02
Speaker 1: there as he headed to the locker room at halftime.
37:07
Speaker 1: There were people chucking beers. That's a very expensive thing
37:10
Speaker 1: to throw, a beer, at a football game. What are
37:12
Speaker 1: you doing there? So that means that Harrison Buckner, the kicker,
37:16
Speaker 1: is now 12 of 19 on field goals. That is 63%.
37:21
Speaker 1: Seven misses, the most for him in any season ever.
37:26
Speaker 1: And he has been especially bad 50-plus yards, just 2
37:29
Speaker 1: of 8 from 50 yards out. Now asked what he
37:33
Speaker 1: needed from the kicker. Andy Reid delivered a blunt answer.
37:37
Speaker 1: I need to see it go through. And Justin Tucker
37:40
Speaker 1: is lurking. The creepy kicker was signed to the practice squad,
37:45
Speaker 1: former Ravens kicker, October 28, but he has remained inactive.
37:50
Speaker 1: And so now the question is asked, is that going
37:53
Speaker 1: to change this week? Will Andy Reid make a roster move?
37:56
Speaker 1: And Justin Tucker, what's the point of signing him if
38:00
Speaker 1: you're not going to play him? Has Harrison Buckner kicked
38:02
Speaker 1: his last field goal for Kansas City? Are they going
38:05
Speaker 1: to come up with some Fugazi injury, put him on
38:07
Speaker 1: the injured list? Andy Reid has been very loyal to
38:11
Speaker 1: his kicker. That nostalgia gets you knocked out of higher
38:16
Speaker 1: playoff seeds and who knows what else.
38:18
Speaker 4: Can't wait.
38:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. All right, it is the Ben Maller Show.
38:21
Speaker 1: Time now for the Who Am I game. And this
38:23
Speaker 1: is where I pretend to be somebody else. Cowboys wide
38:25
Speaker 1: receiver C.D. Lamb just broke my NFL record of 632
38:31
Speaker 1: career receptions before turning 28 years old. Again, C.D. Lamb
38:36
Speaker 1: just broke my NFL record, 632 career receptions before turning
38:41
Speaker 1: 28 years old. Who am I? That is the question.

40:42
Speaker 1: else do we have here? Mark from Queens says, Andre

40:50
Speaker 1: Johnny Come Lately from Coach Cliché. Who else do we have?
40:53
Speaker 1: Page down. Preston Denard from Sean in the Valley of
