  Speaker 1: We react to the news of the day, and yet
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: again our plate is filled filled with a quarterback drama,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Orama drama oramo follow up to the follow up, follow
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: up to the follow up. Quarterback Matthew Stafford filling up
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the football headlines yet again. The Super Bowl champion from
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Great a super Bowl my lifetime,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Rams Bangles. I don't think I don't think anyone can
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: disagree with that, Sayway Stafford. If you didn't see this,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: maybe not because you actually have a life. You have
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a job, you have a family, have things you have
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to do, and so you missed it. So Rams quarterback
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford did not did not practice on Monday after
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: being you know, the expectation was he was going to practice.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Why was the expectation because the couch said it. So
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he was supposed to take part in individual drills in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: his return to practice. The oh my aching back. He
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: has an aggravated disc. Gotta say that carefully and slowly.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Aggravated disc in his back. Now, over the weekend, Sean
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: McVay puffed his chest out, smugly and arrogantly and announced
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to the media that he was coming back on Monday.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He being Matthew Stafford and McVeigh had said Seth had
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a quote great workout, those were his words, not mine.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Felt good on Saturday, and then he said he didn't
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: feel good enough though to throw the football on Monday.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: The Rams didn't think this, according to McVeigh. He said, quote,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Rams didn't think practicing was the right thing to do,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: based on how he was feeling, how he woke up feeling,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: McVeigh said. Now, instead, Stafford was spotted in his street clothes,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like somebody for your favorite NBA players street clothes, Anthony
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Davis players like that. So Stafford was in street clothes
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: during practice, wall walking into a truck that was for rejuvenation.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: They had a truck there that was parked next to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Ram practice field, some of this new age sciencey stuff.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: They essentially convinced the NFL teams, Hey, let's put a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: truck there and we'll put like some kind of weird
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: chambers in there, and then it'll be like the Haunted House.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But it'll it'll make the players better.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let's discuss the question for the esteem panel, which
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you are a part of. You're on the esteem panel.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Congratulations Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford did not did not practice,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: did not practice despite his expected return. Now what does
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that mean in the big picture? All right? What does
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that mean in the big picture? So I've got cucumber slices,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Facebook Marketplace, and naked mole rats, three things that have
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: never ever been put together, but they will be here
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: for this monologue. And we're going to make some Mediterranean chicken.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: When we have some chicken swarma and some rice and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: there there you go. All right? So number why number?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So Matthew Stafford supposed to be the ring leader of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the Ram circus, right, he's out there, the ring leader there,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the guy that the Rams brought in and they brought back.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: There was some talk Stafford went to Montana and was
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: whined and dined by Tom Brady, white white pants Brady
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: there in Montana, and decided to go back to the Rams.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And so he was brought in yet again as the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: ring master for the Rams to ride the elephant at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the circus under the big top there and do the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: trap peez. Of course you got to do that, the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: whole thing. And so there he is the day he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: supposed to get out there and prove all the critics
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: wrong and go out there and practice, and he's in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: street clothes. Now, can you play an NFL game in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: street close? I don't believe you can. I don't think
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that's allowed. I don't think you do it. So he's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: not practicing. Not after Sean McVeigh put his his name
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: on it. He put his name on it. The guy
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: who's the puppeteer of the Rams told everyone he's coming back. Baby,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: are you critics? Are you the overnight gas bags? He's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: coming back, you losers. Well, he didn't practice, didn't practice.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: McVeigh said he was gonna do individual drills. Stafford didn't
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: do it, didn't do it. He's not there. He wasn't there. Instead,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: he walked into some restorative and rejuvenation chamber, which sounds
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like something you'd be sentenced to by a court. Uh
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and uh, I guess this is a hyper barrack chamber
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that they brought in that truck. The Rams had it
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: there some outside third party. They had a truck there.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they probably had like a side hot tub
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: in there somewhere. And Stafford went in there with a towel.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He had some cucumber slices, and there was a loofa
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: so he could take a shower. And he's done, get
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all soapy, and so Stafford is quickly you know I'm
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: wrong on this quickly becoming the poulter Geist for the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Rams and they haven't even got to the schedule yet,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Like this is a preview of coming attractions here, haunting
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the Rams. Like this is not the thing of a jig, right,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the thing of a jig or the what you might
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: call it break, Because the thing of a jig or
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: what you might call it break, and you can deal
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: with that. We're talking about the back, okay, And now
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you have one. I've got one, we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: all have one, right, everyone listening has back. So the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: center of the universe and the human body the back,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Oh my aching back. Think about playing professional sports or
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: just living life. Like everything you do, every movement you make.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: In the case of a football player, you're talking about
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: throwing a pass, you're talking about taking a couple of steps,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: back handing the ball of the running back, you're talking
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: about sneezing, you're talking about wiping your tuckis your back
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: is involved. There is movement in the back. And I've
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: thrown my back out a few times over the years,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and every time I throw my back out, I think, well,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that's it, it'll never come back, and eventually it does
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: come back. But I'm not a professional athlete. I'm a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: professional gas bag. It's slightly different, I'm told in these parts.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So think about back into it. There's no frame bending,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: can't do it. Every movement hurts, you know. And so
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: this is this is like the chassis on the car cracking.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Like everything you do is involved in the back, right.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: This is not just a ding bumper, it's the chassis
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: like ding bumper, bumper, you can you slap some tape
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: on it and you know, take the bumper off. Whatever.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: This is the chassis on the car breaking. That's where
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: we are. He had an epidoral last week, Stafford, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: so Sean McVay can say, well, it's surgery. The surgery
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: hasn't been discussed. You can say that all he wants,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure he will, But you don't talk about
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: rebuilding the engine. You don't talk about rebuilding the engine
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: there until you've got oil pouring out all over the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: driveway and then you're like, oh crap, we got a problem. Now.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: The Rams listen the Stafford trade. They won the trade.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: The Lions lost the trade. The Rams won a super
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Bowl with Matthew Stafford. They've been a consistent playoff team
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford. Jared Goff is the same guy he
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: was with the Rams. He's mediocre. He chokes in big games.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: That's Jared Goff. So the Rams won that trade. That's fine,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl has been a couple of years.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The Rams have a young, upstart defense they're excited about.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: They think that's a defense that's good enough to get
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. But if you're honest right now
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: looking at the Rams, and you've got your quarterback who's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: currently being held together with duck tape and going into
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Hyperbarrick Chambers and who knows what other stuff he's got
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: going on there, trying to trying to keep the car
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: on the road. Right, that's where we are. And so
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you don't know what you don't know, and you don't
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: know when he's going to go cup, boom and blow,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and you know, you don't know when the back is
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: going to say bye bye, I'm done. And every time
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Stafford drops back, every time Sean McVay is on the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: sidelines and he's saying, you know, prayers, oh father, you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: know all that, the hail Mary's, you know, hoping that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: he takes another snap after that. Staff And so this
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: is a tough spot to be in for the Rams,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and it's it's gonna follow them because at some point
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I would imagine Stafford's going to actually practice, doesn't matter
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: does he practice one day and then take three days
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: off or four days off? And then where are we
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: at here now? Page two to Arizona we go. Why
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I like talking about bad teams. I love bag teams,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and the Cardinals suck. There are some reports out in
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: recent days here that predicting they are predicting the Cardinals
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that's a bad football team. The Cardinals will trade Alligator
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Arms Murray Kyler Murray before the twenty twenty seven season,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: rather than offering him he had another contract extension. Now
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Murray would be thirty at that point. The Cardinals would
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: be trying to get something, anything in return. In terms
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of draft I love they say draft capital. I love
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that draft capital. Okay, wonderful. All right, So thumbs up
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: or thumbs down, thumbs up or thumbs down on Kyler
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Murray having a short shelf life in Arizona. See what
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I did there, So I am going to go thumbs up.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going thumbs up on this.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Listen, the clock is ticking. You can hear it if
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you listen closely. That's the clock ticking, just like that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You can almost hear it. And we believe it's not
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: going to be till twenty twenty seven. It's going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be after this year. We believe it'll be after this
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Here you do the math on that. There's like one
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: year left and the contract and the guaranteed money. And
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: it was always complicated. If you want to move a player,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you can move a player. Arizona foolishly gave Kyler Murray,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a massive contract, like they were buying the dream yacht.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They always wanted this yacht. They got the yacht. They
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: thought they'd be cruising, not for a bruising. They thought
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: they'd be cruising to the super Bowl. And right there
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: at sunset, beautiful weather, and you're in this yacht and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you got the air, the ocean air there and oh man,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it's just amazing wind in their hair, the whole thing,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Champagne on ice. And instead reality check. They thought they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: were getting a yacht. They actually mistakenly they went on
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Facebook marketplace and they bought a dingy, not a yacht,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: not a yacht. They bought a dingy okay and a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: little outboard motor, normal dingy outboard motor. There spiders after
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about ten minutes, about ten minutes of us. It spiders
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It's got expired registration. And they've got
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a captain for the dinghy alligator arms who get seasick
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: in calm water. Yeah, that's that's what we got here.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And so now, of course Arizona immediately had the buyer's remorse.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: We talked about this many times here. How bad was it?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It was so bad, It was so bad that they're
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: likely awake right now. Executives like what did we do?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Why did we do that? Why didn't we just rent?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Why did we buy? I don't understand. Quarterbacks in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: NFL are kind of like cars. I'll use the analogy,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: like their cars. Arizona financed their car. However, they realized
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: it's got a four cylinder engine, and unfortunately there's a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: speed governor that kicks in anything, you know, anything sixty
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: five miles an hour, so you can't go past sixty
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: five miles an hour. And I know when I'm driving
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: on the highway and I see one of those they're
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: always company cars, and they say, well, this vehicle is
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: being monitored by GPS and will not go over a
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: certain I immediately zoom past that vehicle. That's Kyler Murray.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: That's Kylmer. Every year. Keep in mind also seven to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: ten teams, seven to ten teams every year trade in
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: their car or quarterback for a newer model. And looking
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: ahead into my crystal ball, would be someone that would
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: be interested in Alligator Arms Murray going forward after this
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: upcoming twenty twenty five regular season. So if you look
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: in the crystal ball, you've got the Petsburg, Staylers, the Injurs,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers like one year and then he'll be gone.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: The Jets because Justin Fields blows. The Giants because Russell
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Wilson sucks and Jackson darts probably not all that good.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins they'll need somebody. They'll get rid of Tua.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: The Brownies they always change quarterbacks every year, the Raiders
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: because Gino Smith come on. So the thing about the showroom,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: it's always open. The quarterback showroom is always open. The
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: sales people, they are always smiling. They're always smiling. They
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: have some lemonade and some snacks you can get there.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And the Cardinals they're about to roll. It's not a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: big ball, but they're gonna roll Kyler back onto the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: lot there. Now. Kyler at this point's got about seventy
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: thousand hard miles hard miles, and it's a card that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: leads the race after ten laps and then falls apart
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the rest of the race. There there's a dent on
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that fender. If you look, there's a little dent there
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: on the fender, and the check ego light on the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: dashboard is flashing check ego right there. And Kyler, a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: guy who is allergic. We've learned over the years he's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: allergic to watching film. I don't like watching film either,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: but I do a talk show. I don't have to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: watch them. And he doesn't like standing in the pocket
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: very long. We've learned about that. Also, allergic to looking
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: over the offensive line. Unless you get him an NFL
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: branded step stool, then he can look over the offensive line.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So you can little NFL. He got the NFL logo
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: officially branded NFL and Cardinal logo on the steps stool,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and then he can see over the offensive line and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the extension. It's kind of like the way I would
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: describe it, it's like buying a home gym for someone
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: who is a couch potato, Like why would you do it?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And you realize you're like, well, that guy doesn't he
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't get off the couch. Why do we buy a
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: home gym that's just gonna collect furnit you shirts and stuff.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be over there and it's gonna be like
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a laundry basket and that's it. So the Cardinals will
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: try to get rid of Kyler Murray at the end
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of this year, not till twenty twenty seven. I'm talking
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: about the end of the twenty twenty five season, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that's the gang they want. In terms of I guess
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Kyler at this point was he where the mid round
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: draft pick? He's not that good. I used to get
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: pushed back when I would rip Kyler early on. So
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you don't know what you're talking about. And now everyone's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in agreement. You know it's not it's not much fun
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to talk about Alligator arms worried because everyone's agreed. Sucks
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: all right. Now, final point to Philadelphia we go where
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, Hey gee l the birdsday Pro Bowl guard
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson. We don't talk about offensive linman unless A
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: they're drafted. NFL draft people get all horny for offensive lineman.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: B they miss a block and the quarterback gets killed
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: or see they get hurt. That's this would be ce.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So Landon Dickerson will undergo. They say it's a minor procedure.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Minor procedure. The Eagles guard on a meniscus injury to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: his right knee. That is gonna happen in the coming days. Now. Diggerson,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: who was considered one of the elite offensive linemen in
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the NFL, he will be considered week to week, not
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: day to day, week to week, with the goal of
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: returning for the NFL season. All they're less than a
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: month away. On a sleepy Thursday night in early September,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: it all begins, all regular season over. They Eagles and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that Dallas Cowboys. How many points of the Cowboys gonna
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: lose by in that game? Anyway? So left guard landing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Dickerson having surgery on his knee. The Eagles are downplaying this.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: What is the level of worry for the Eagles? So
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it's not zero a scale of one to ten, it's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: not zero, it's not one. I'm gonna beat a two.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And the reason I'm going to it is discomforting. However,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: it is tolerable. Dickerson a central part. The Eagles are
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: not a passing team. They're a running team. They don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: throw the ball. They just don't do it. They don't
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: have a quarterback that can throw the ball consistently down
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the field. So it's all about Sequon Barkley and the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: pushy pushy with Jalen Hurts. So minor knee surgery is
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: still last I checked knee surgery, all right, So once
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: they cut you open. I learned this from my grandfather,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you know, as a little boy, he said, no Ben,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: little Benny, little fat Benny. Once they cut you open,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: it's not minor anymore. Now, Regardless of that, here's the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: thing I've learned from years oh pining on sports behind
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: these microphones. When it comes to offensive lineman, they're not human.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: They're kind of like Adam Silver. They're from somewhere else
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: out in the cosmos. They're like the last gladiators. Even
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, even in the Mighty NFL. Quarterbacks get
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a hangnail and they missed two weeks, they're out. See
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you later. Wide receivers have a little twinge in their
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: hammy and they're worried it's gonna go whammy, and they
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: go on the injured reserve list and that's it. Now.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: The offensive lineman a little different. See the offensive lineman.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: They follow the Caveman medical plant. What is that? I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Caveman medical plan which has
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: rub some dirt on it. Just throw some dirt on it,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: grunt a couple of time, then take a couple of
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: pharmacy grade ibuprofen and get back in the huddle. That
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: is the Caveman medical plan of the NFL. That's the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: way it is. And so they're like those naked mole rats.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I remember learning this years ago. The naked mole rat
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: has a freakish pain tolerance. Freakish pain tolerance. Don't even
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: have the same pain receptors that we have the rest
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of us have, right They just they can just get
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: absolutely shredded, the naked mole rat, and they're not really
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: bothered by anything. Normal person tears the meniscus and hobbling
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: around on crutches. This guy Dickerson, he's a good old
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Southern boy from Hickory, North Carolina. And so I imagine
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson probably walking around right now at the Eagles
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: complex there in Philadelphia eating a hogi from wah Wahs
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and just not really worried at all. Just a nice
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: hogi and good to go. And maybe he'll have lunch
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: tomorrow with Jonathan over in Delaware and they'll have a
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: great time. It is the Ben Mahler Show. I want

• 24:32
  Speaker 1: And he's really really ugly, really ugly. Nobody wants to

  Speaker 1: A R I MS Matthew Stafford and his injury situation.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Also Kyler Murray's name coming up, alligator arms, Murray in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: trade rumors, and my theory on offensive linemen, and then
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the way they handle their business in the NFL. So
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: we talked about all that stuff. Later this hour we
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: do have Mallard the third Degree. Let's go back to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the phones, lell. We'll go to Paul in Ottawa. Hello,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Paul in Ottawa, Welcome, Paul, Welcome.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Hi Ben. Just a couple of thoughts, one about the
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: NFL and then one about head coaching. I like your
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: use of the word hubris when you did your first monologue,
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: because that's like a feeling of being powerful and resilient
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: and you can kind of do anything and nothing's going
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: to stop you. And when I think about the NFL,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: I think about an organization that puts out an immensely
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: entertaining product that everyone seems to love, and so they
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: get richer and richer and richer, and I just think
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: that it stands to reason that something like that will
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: start to feel invincible when you're used to squashing problems
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: like bugs. But if anyone, probably somebody's who's the David
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: and Goliath story? Goliath is so big and he's so favored,
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: and that's the way we think of it when we
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: talk about Goliath, whether it's big business or whatever. But
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: if you read the story, of course, most people know
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: that David defeated Goliath, and so that could happen, because
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: when you've left yourself open to attack, you never know
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: what can happen.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And also the reason that was such
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a big upset is because Goliath was a massive favorite.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of people had money on Goliath and then
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: David pulled the upset and that was a shock or
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: all the people lost their money because they didn't believe
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that David could beat Goliath, and it was a huge, huge,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: massive upset.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And as far as head coaching, when I look
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: at head coaches and I get into the NFL, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: sometimes I feel like a victim of the NFL for
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: spending my time, and sometimes it's just enjoyable whatever. And
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: I look at them on the sidelines putting something over
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: their mouth when they're speaking through to the microphone like
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: it's some important military battle. Or something, And to get perspective,
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: I like to think of something that someone said on
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Charlie Rose once I don't know who said it originally,
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: and he said, you know, to be a head coach
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: in the NFL, you have to be smart enough to
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: do it really well and dumb enough to think it's important.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: And yes, well for sure. And listen you talk about
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, so big and invincible and all
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: that there was. People's likes changed, as you know, right, Paul.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Back in the day before my time, horse racing was
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the most popular thing. Professional boxing was the most popular thing, right,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and you know those are marginalized sports these days.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: So yeah, well, I I find that I'm a little
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: more philosophical lately. I when I visited my mom, she
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: used to watch the games with me, And uh, if
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: if my mom would watch the NFL, then pretty much
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: anybody who will.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: So it's well, it is the perfect business model. People
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: are busy. You only if you if you like eighteen,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you'll have to watch one three hour window a week.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: So it's it's pretty good. Uh if you if you're
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a degenerate gambler, you end up having to bet on everything,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and then it becomes problematic, and so I got you.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: You're very calm, Paul. I like your cadence, I like
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: your delivery. I hope you'll call more often. Okay, thank you, Paul.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: All right, go away, there's Paul and Ottawa. Let's go
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to eeny meenie money mall. Let's sallo to Andre, who's
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: in the Commonwealth and Andre is next.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Hello, Andre, good evening, bet to be with you. Listen.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I And in terms of this football talk, I'm a
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: little bit concerned that you're talking about Yeah, and Willis
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: is concerned as well. We're talking about alligator arms Kyler
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Murray and the possibility of a trade. Are you kidding me?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Last I checked the cards. What do they have? Eight
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: games inside? They're a home team, They're a track and
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: field team, right. Willis sees all these touchdowns, all the
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: fantasy owners out there who have Marvin Harrison is there
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: as there a wide receiver. He can't believe this. Hold on,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: hold on, let's get there, you know. So he's offended
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: that you're talking about trade and alligator arms Murray all right, now,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: not that he was a boyhood legens in the state
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: of Texas. Goes to Oklahoma. He lights it up there,
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: and now he has the opportunity this season the Cardinals.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: You look at their first eight games, Ben, it's a cakewalk,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: all right. We know Kyler Murray likes cake, eating cake
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: late at night while he's playing PS five or whatever
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: he's doing. Okay, so I'm a little bit surprised that
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: we're talking about trading him when Franklin this.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Is his I gotta tell you, Andrew, I'm distracted by Willis.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I ain't get the full essence of the take because
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the dog is distracting me. You're doing positive propaganda about
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's Am I hearing that properly? That you are
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: doing positive Kyler Murray commentary, that you are a fan
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray? You think Kyler Murray is good.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I think Kyler Murray is at I think this is
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: the last stop on the train for him, and the
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Cardinals have the opportunity this year to be good, all right.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Whether Kyler Murray wants to take a step back from
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: playing Madden and Call of Duty, I'm unsure all that.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: But what I am sure of is that Marvin Harrison
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Junior is a transcendent young player. He's a baller okay,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and their schedule, particularly the first eight games, and particularly
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: the location. They have a lot of games inside. They're
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: attract meet team, right. They want to get up, they
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: want to spread it out, they want to score a
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: bunch of points. They're not lining up and stopping anybody.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: They're not a power team. They're more of a finesse team.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: And this schedule lends itself to them being able to
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: do this. Now it's the first eight game, the last
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: eight games, I don't know, it's gonna be very dicey
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: for them, and they're going to be very dicey.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know how.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Well you got to come down. He gave me getting
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: a snack here.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: He needs a snacker room or a smacker room, one
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: of those.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's I don't seat him. Then, and you
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: were talking about the spaghetti and meat balls recently. We
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: all know you're a chef. Then we all know that
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: you have many towns.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Many Well, thank you. I appreciate that. I do like
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: to dabble in the kitchen. I do. There was a
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: point I only ate TV dinners when I was a bachelor.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Those theyre so salty. Yeah, well, you don't realize that
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: when you're in your early twenties, but when you get
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: older you realize. I used to eat kid cuisine and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: my grandpa would have like the big Salisbury steak one
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: and I used to be like, oh, I want the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Salisbury steak. I used to get read the ingredients. I
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: don't want the salsberries. The key to eating any processed
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: food is to not read the ingredients. But I I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: would get those huy these hungry man. I don't know
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: if they still have them, like one pound of food, okay,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: one pound of food. And then they used to have
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the little square that had the apple tart thing, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you'd always eat and you burn your tongue. I'd always
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: eat that first. You gotta eat that apple tart thing.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: You burn your freaking tongue, and then I eat the corn,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and then I eat the I have the chicken strips,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: but it was always kind of the chicken strip thing
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: was always soggy on one side. Yeah, it's not good.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: What do you say? What are you saying is that
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: everybody cannot be a chef. And I'm glad, I'm glad
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Loraen is chumming in here, but listen, Ben, all of
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: us aren't you know, I'm happy for you in terms
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: of your chef and you're.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Right, no, but anybody, no, I disagree. I think anyone
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: can be with the modern world now, with the interweb
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: and with you know, YouTube videos and stuff like that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: By the way, you subscribe to the YouTube channel, Andre,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: are you there, Ben mallor show on YouTube or you
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a YouTube guy?
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: You know what.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I'm all, well, thank you. I appreciate that, but no,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: you can. You can dabble around, and it's I've enjoyed it.
• 32:48

  Speaker 2: To the third degree, this is one big gets grilled?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: All right? Cool?
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: A lot has been made about the Bengals slow starts
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: under Zach Taylor, and some of that has been attributed
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: to lack of participation in the preseason by since the starters, well,
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Joe Burrow started and did well last week. Do you
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: think the Bengals will avoid the slow start this year.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: No, this is their thing. This is what they do.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: They get off the bat start. They have a crappy defense,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: so they won't stop anybody, and they're gonna have to
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: outscore the opponent. Now, the good news is they're playing
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: two Tomato cans, so you should at least when one
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: of them. They're playing Cleveland and Jackson to start the year.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: They suck. So but it's not gonna because they played
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: in the preseason. It's they're not. The Bengals are a
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: bad defensive team. Next.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: Reports now say that Trey Young is resigned to finishing
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: off his contract with the Atlanta Hawks and testing free
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: agency in twenty twenty six. However, the Hawks made some
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: moves in the offseason and the East isn't exactly daunting.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: Do you think a playoff run could keep Young in Atlanta?
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: So this is all part of the master plan.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: The Hawks are like, well, we don't know what we
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: want to do here, Well, Trey Young, everyone's slow playing this. Ultimately, though,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Trey Young can get more money from the Atlanta Hawks,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: So even though the Hawks also are pathetic, you go
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: where the money is, and there's more money in Atlanta,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: so you'll remain there, and they're just gonna drag this
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: out to the Veria next.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: Jags kicker Cam Little hit his seventy yard field goal
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: in the team's preseason debut over the weekend. Would have
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: been an NFL record, beating out Justin Tucker by four yards,
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: but it won't count. Ben, Do you think kickers will
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: be giving a ton of chances to erase Tucker from
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: the record books?
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Well, not because it's talker, but it's it's gonna have
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: to be right before the end of the game or
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the end of halftime, although it's not not not because
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: it's Tucker. No, I don't care about how do we
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: do how do we pass this edition? Hey, I won
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: the game again. Unbelievable.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I'm all
