Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: How do you do? It's our number two of the
- 0:06Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show. And a very happy Wednesday to you.
- 0:09Speaker 1: And we start out in the Valley of the Sun.
- 0:13Speaker 1: A man tagged as a gift from the football gods.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Not doing that well. Is Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur helping
- 0:24Speaker 1: wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. by defending his effort or
- 0:28Speaker 1: making this a bigger story? There are video clips of
- 0:32Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. looking like he would much rather be
- 0:35Speaker 1: laying on a sofa eating ice cream than playing on Sundays. Also,
- 0:40Speaker 1: who looks worse in the coaches' cold war between the Broncos'
- 0:44Speaker 1: Sean Payton and the Seattle Seahawks' Mike LaFleur? McDonald, we'll
- 0:49Speaker 1: take a look at that. And how much legal trouble
- 0:52Speaker 1: could the 49ers be facing if Dijon Love's victims argue
- 0:58Speaker 1: the team was warned and failed to act on those
- 1:02Speaker 1: warnings as a woman has stepped up saying, hey, she
- 1:06Speaker 1: let the 49ers know. eight months prior to his arrest,
- 1:09Speaker 1: and they didn't do what they were supposed to do.
- 1:12Speaker 1: That's the implication. We'll get to that, and who knows
- 1:15Speaker 1: what else. Here it is, hour number two. A cardinal mistake.

- 3:24Speaker 1: So our lead story this hour from the Grand Canyon State,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and we have a wide receiver quagmire in the desert.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Have you been following?
- 3:39Speaker 2: No.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Well, several of you sent me this video clip. I
- 3:44Speaker 1: guess I'll call it a video clip. It's bouncing around
- 3:47Speaker 1: the echo chamber online of Marvin Harrison Jr. Let's just
- 3:52Speaker 1: say it's not a sizzle reel. It's not a sizzle
- 3:55Speaker 1: reel for Marvin Harrison Jr. It makes him look like
- 3:59Speaker 1: he doesn't really like football that much. Anyway, Cardinals coach
- 4:03Speaker 1: Mike LaFleur. It's a brotherly love business there in NFL coaching.
- 4:09Speaker 1: You're a brother's coach. You have a better chance of
- 4:11Speaker 1: being a head coach. Anyway, Mike LeFleur, the Cardinals coach,
- 4:15Speaker 1: do you think he, A, criticized the work of Marvin
- 4:20Speaker 1: Harrison Jr.? He criticized his wide receiver's work. B, dismissed
- 4:27Speaker 1: the report. Or C, gave no comment. Well, the answer
- 4:33Speaker 1: is B. Michael, for defending Marvin Harrison Jr., After being
- 4:38Speaker 1: asked questions about why it looks like he doesn't care
- 4:42Speaker 1: about football. Very incriminating clips making their way around social media.
- 4:47Speaker 1: So if you have not been paying attention to this,
- 4:50Speaker 1: the internet crowned Marvin Harrison Jr. God's gift to the
- 4:54Speaker 1: wide receiver position. Then he had to actually play the games.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Which is, that's been the problem. The problem has been
- 5:01Speaker 1: he's actually had to. live up to that stature. So
- 5:04Speaker 1: LeFleur blamed the now notorious video that shows Harrison not hustling.
- 5:11Speaker 1: This is great. This is great. So I'm laughing. Mike,
- 5:16Speaker 1: did you hear this? Mike LeFleur blamed Marvin Harrison Jr.
- 5:20Speaker 1: 's what appeared to be a lack of effort to
- 5:24Speaker 1: a different running style. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
- 5:31Speaker 1: He said, if that's people's narrative on him, that's fine.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But I know his teammates don't feel that way. Oh,
- 5:40Speaker 1: it's so great. So there's video that shows Harrison looking
- 5:44Speaker 1: like he'd rather be having some ice cream on the
- 5:47Speaker 1: sofa somewhere. He has produced like a guy that should
- 5:51Speaker 1: be eating scoops of ice cream on the sofa. The
- 5:55Speaker 1: former number four overall pick has just one catch on
- 6:00Speaker 1: for 33 yards and four targets. We're two games in
- 6:04Speaker 1: to the NFL season. So that is a good jumping-off point.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. Is Cardinals coach Mike LeFleur
- 6:14Speaker 1: helping Marvin Harrison Jr., his wide receiver, by defending his effort,
- 6:19Speaker 1: or is he making this a bigger story? All right,
- 6:23Speaker 1: so I've got my observations on this. I've got the Incredibles,
- 6:27Speaker 1: Krabby Patty, and Hiccup. And we will combine all of
- 6:32Speaker 1: these things together, and we will give you a million-dollar smile,
- 6:35Speaker 1: which doesn't work on radio. You don't have to have
- 6:37Speaker 1: a million-dollar smile. You have to have a face for radio.
- 6:41Speaker 1: That's all you have to worry about. All right, so anyway,
- 6:44Speaker 1: to answer the question, is Michael Fuller, the Cardinals coach,
- 6:46Speaker 1: helping Marvin Harrison Jr. or not by defending his effort
- 6:51Speaker 1: when it's clear that he's not giving any effort? Like,
- 6:54Speaker 1: it's obvious he's not giving any effort.
- 6:56Speaker 3: So.
- 6:58Speaker 1: My first thought, number one.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Number one.
- 7:00Speaker 1: One, one, one, one. Number one. What for? Number one.
- 7:06Speaker 1: So Mike LaFleur was a fan of Better Call Saul
- 7:10Speaker 1: back in the day. Big fan there because it all
- 7:13Speaker 1: makes sense. It all makes sense because he's actually doing
- 7:17Speaker 1: some cosplay as Saul Goodman. He's doing the little cosplay there.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Like all coaches, every coach that's ever been in the NFL,
- 7:25Speaker 1: with the exception of like five coaches, every coach in
- 7:27Speaker 1: the NFL is an expert at bending the truth to
- 7:33Speaker 1: serve their client's best interest. In this case, their wide
- 7:37Speaker 1: receiver's best interest here. Coaches defend players. Every man, woman,
- 7:42Speaker 1: and child knows that coaches defend players. Totally fine. Totally fine.
- 7:48Speaker 1: We're here to call out the bullcrap. But when the
- 7:53Speaker 1: tape blatantly contradicts the defense of the head coach, you're
- 7:59Speaker 1: just gaslighting the people that care about your team. Now,
- 8:03Speaker 1: the good news is when the Arizona Cardinals coach, Mike LaFleur,
- 8:06Speaker 1: criticizes Marvin Harrison Jr., he's not really offending many people
- 8:10Speaker 1: because there's not many Cardinal fans. It's just the way
- 8:12Speaker 1: it is. There's not that many folks upset by that.
- 8:17Speaker 1: But my God. It's right there. Even Inca Terror and
- 8:22Speaker 1: Blind Emmett, who used to call the show, and Blind Seabass,
- 8:26Speaker 1: all these guys, Stevie Meatballs, the Blind Army. Who's our
- 8:30Speaker 1: new general? Now that Blind Scott retired from calling, who's
- 8:32Speaker 1: our new... Is it Stevie Meatballs or Inca Terror as
- 8:35Speaker 1: the lead blind listener? We have to replace as the
- 8:38Speaker 1: senior member of the blind listenership. Blind Scott retired, so
- 8:43Speaker 1: we'll have to find somebody else to replace him. Anyway,
- 8:45Speaker 1: the point of all this, LeFleur... You cannot see what
- 8:50Speaker 1: we all saw and make that statement. You cannot watch
- 8:54Speaker 1: that video clip of play after play of Marvin Harrison Jr.
- 8:58Speaker 1: dogging it. Your eyes are unreliable. You're the problem. I'm
- 9:04Speaker 1: a coach. I know what I'm talking about. I'm smarter
- 9:07Speaker 1: than you. Don't tell us we didn't see what we saw. Now,
- 9:13Speaker 1: the Cardinals are, at least Michael Fleur, is trying to
- 9:16Speaker 1: convince everyone else in the room here that the loafing
- 9:22Speaker 1: caught on camera, caught on camera by Marvin Harrison Jr.,
- 9:26Speaker 1: was actually, what was it, advanced route or route conservation. Police!
- 9:34Speaker 1: So Marvin Harrison Jr., you know who he plays like?
- 9:37Speaker 1: He plays like one of the Incredibles. He plays like
- 9:41Speaker 1: Violet Parr of the Incredibles there, and he can turn
- 9:44Speaker 1: invisible on any given Sunday. Marvin Harrison Jr. can vanish,
- 9:50Speaker 1: create a blank spot where you're playing shorthanded. The other
- 9:53Speaker 1: team's on a power play, power play, because they have
- 9:56Speaker 1: 11 guys on the field, and when the Cardinals are
- 9:59Speaker 1: on offense with Marvin Harrison Jr., Jr., they have 10.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Because he might not feel like doing anything at that point.
- 10:06Speaker 1: And I love the Cardinals' position for Michael Furs. Basically, listen,
- 10:11Speaker 1: his motor comes with eco mode. What is that? Well, seriously,
- 10:17Speaker 1: if he knows the ball is coming, this is the
- 10:19Speaker 1: way it looks to me. If Harrison knows there's a
- 10:21Speaker 1: good chance he's going to get the football, he suddenly
- 10:25Speaker 1: is ready to go. He's engaged. But more times than not,
- 10:29Speaker 1: he doesn't think he's going to get the football. And
- 10:31Speaker 1: he went to the water park. He went to Raging
- 10:33Speaker 1: Waters and is floating down the lazy river in an
- 10:37Speaker 1: inner tube. And eventually somebody hits pause, rewind and slow motion.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And they say, wait a minute. That guy ain't hustling.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And if you have to hold a news conference, here's
- 10:50Speaker 1: my position. You can call up and scream and shout
- 10:54Speaker 1: and tell me I'm wrong when I give out the
- 10:55Speaker 1: number in a few. But my position on this, if
- 10:58Speaker 1: you as a coach have to hold the news conference
- 11:01Speaker 1: to explain why one of your alleged star players is
- 11:05Speaker 1: really trying, even though everyone says he's not trying, if
- 11:08Speaker 1: you have to hold a news conference and explain why
- 11:10Speaker 1: one of your better players in theory is is actually hustling,
- 11:14Speaker 1: even though it looks like he's not hustling, you've already
- 11:16Speaker 1: lost the argument. So again, Marvin Harrison Jr. is one
- 11:19Speaker 1: of these guys that when drafted, he had all the measurables,
- 11:24Speaker 1: built like Adonis, he plays like Uranus, which is unfortunate.
- 11:28Speaker 1: All right, now, page two. To Seattle we go, where
- 11:32Speaker 1: Seahawks coach Mike McDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. He also
- 11:39Speaker 1: coaches the Seattle football team. And this is pretty interesting here.
- 11:43Speaker 1: So randomly, Mike McDonald revealed that the Seattle football team
- 11:50Speaker 1: used fan shot social media clips from the Broncos. And
- 11:58Speaker 1: they ended up beating Denver. This was in the 2024
- 12:01Speaker 1: opener when Geno Smith announced that he kept receipts and
- 12:04Speaker 1: he's back and then. Proceeded to later on lead the
- 12:08Speaker 1: Raiders to the worst record in football and is now
- 12:11Speaker 1: serving time not in San Quentin. Even worse than San Quentin.
- 12:15Speaker 1: He's serving time there. Not on Rikers Island. Rikers Island
- 12:18Speaker 1: adjacent with the Jets. Back with the Jets. The story
- 12:21Speaker 1: here is two years old, but it's new to us.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Mike McDonald called the footage public knowledge. Well, the reason
- 12:29Speaker 1: this is a thing is because Sean Payton... Later learned
- 12:33Speaker 1: about it and apparently lost it, according to Mike McDonald.
- 12:38Speaker 1: He lost it, threatening to accuse Seattle of cheating, invoking
- 12:43Speaker 1: the Patriots' Spygate. Spygate. McDonald insisted that he claimed Seattle
- 12:51Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. Of course he did. Said they did
- 12:53Speaker 1: nothing wrong. Said Denver even suspected that the Seahawks had
- 12:58Speaker 1: a plant. That they had somebody out there that was...
- 13:02Speaker 1: was doing the videos. So Seattle then got upset. They
- 13:06Speaker 1: threatened legal action for a false accusation. And McDonald, the
- 13:13Speaker 1: Seahawks coach, dubbed the entire thing a cold war. So
- 13:19Speaker 1: nobody went public and the story went away. There was
- 13:23Speaker 1: no lawsuit. It did not escalate any further than that. However,
- 13:29Speaker 1: it is now on the public record that so we
- 13:32Speaker 1: can have some fun and talk about it. The question,
- 13:36Speaker 1: who looks worse? You make the call. Who looks worse
- 13:40Speaker 1: here in this coach's cold war between the Broncos' Sean
- 13:44Speaker 1: Payton and the Seahawks' Mike McDonald? Who looks worse? So
- 13:50Speaker 1: the arrow on the Mallard compass is pointing directly at
- 13:55Speaker 1: Sean Payton on this one. The Prince of Paranoia, Sean Payton. Meanwhile,
- 14:00Speaker 1: now Mike McDonald doesn't look great either. He has the
- 14:04Speaker 1: memory of an elephant with a vendetta. What are you
- 14:10Speaker 1: spilling the tea on this? I'm glad he did as
- 14:12Speaker 1: a talk show host. I'm very happy that the coach
- 14:13Speaker 1: of the Seahawks did. But two years have passed. Coaches
- 14:17Speaker 1: have changed on the staffs of the Broncos and also
- 14:20Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. Players have changed. They've come and gone.
- 14:25Speaker 1: And McDonald randomly brought this up to some TV hack.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Did he not think that maybe this would be of
- 14:33Speaker 1: interest to people? Seahawks are claiming he thought this was
- 14:36Speaker 1: off the record. Bullcrap. So, my God. He just randomly
- 14:42Speaker 1: is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Have I ever told
- 14:45Speaker 1: you what Sean Payton did? Have I ever told you
- 14:47Speaker 1: that story?
- 14:48Speaker 4: No.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Tell me. Now, Peyton has always had the energy, going
- 14:52Speaker 1: back to his days in the Bayou. He's had the
- 14:56Speaker 1: energy of a guy who puts tape over his laptop camera,
- 15:01Speaker 1: and he does that when he's ordering DoorDash, which is
- 15:03Speaker 1: you don't need to do that to order DoorDash. What
- 15:05Speaker 1: are you doing? This bad job of you. And he acted,
- 15:08Speaker 1: Sean Peyton, the coach of the Broncos, acted like Mike
- 15:11Speaker 1: McDonald had infiltrated Broncos headquarters wearing night vision goggles and
- 15:17Speaker 1: a fake mustache. And he somehow got past security and
- 15:23Speaker 1: he called the security. They didn't do anything. Peyton's upset
- 15:26Speaker 1: by that. And, of course, we know that the Broncos
- 15:29Speaker 1: head coach, Sean Peyton, guards the call sheet like it's
- 15:33Speaker 1: the Krabby Patty secret formula. You must protect the Krabby
- 15:36Speaker 1: Patty at all costs, which is the Sean Peyton Broncos offense.
- 15:41Speaker 1: So my position has always been who cares if the
- 15:44Speaker 1: other team knows the place? You get so paranoid over
- 15:49Speaker 1: this stuff. Now, you don't want to just give them away.
- 15:51Speaker 1: But if you have an open practice and somebody happened
- 15:53Speaker 1: to be recording, it's on social media. That's the way
- 15:56Speaker 1: of the world. That's how that works. So just go
- 16:00Speaker 1: out and beat them. Don't get all worked up into
- 16:02Speaker 1: a tizzy over this.
- 16:04Speaker 2: And.
- 16:05Speaker 1: The social media, if that's all that this was, and
- 16:08Speaker 1: who knows, maybe there's more to it, but if that's
- 16:10Speaker 1: all there is, then who cares? It's fair game unless
- 16:14Speaker 1: the Seahawks are lying and there's something else to it. Now,
- 16:18Speaker 1: somewhere in Chapel Hill, somewhere in Chapel Hill, Bill Belichick
- 16:23Speaker 1: is hearing about this story and saying, hey, Sean, hey,
- 16:27Speaker 1: Sean Payton, you might want to relax a little bit, dude,
- 16:30Speaker 1: and chill out. What's wrong with you? Now, ultimately, nobody thinks...
- 16:35Speaker 1: Nobody thinks about Sean Payton as much as Sean Payton
- 16:38Speaker 1: thinks people think about Sean Payton. But the whole story
- 16:41Speaker 1: is bonkers that just randomly a couple years later, the
- 16:45Speaker 1: head coach of the Seahawks does an interview and then
- 16:48Speaker 1: says it while he's doing the interview. I guess he
- 16:51Speaker 1: thought it was off the record. That's what the Seahawks
- 16:52Speaker 1: are saying. But I've generally known when you're talking into
- 16:55Speaker 1: a microphone and there's a camera in front of you,
- 16:59Speaker 1: And that's not off the record. Off the record, a
- 17:01Speaker 1: lot of these guys will have the managers and the
- 17:03Speaker 1: coaches will have these get togethers with the media where
- 17:05Speaker 1: they'll go to some Italian restaurant, eat fettuccine Alfredo. And
- 17:09Speaker 1: everyone puts their phone in a box like they're a
- 17:13Speaker 1: woman visiting Derek Jeter back in the 90s. And then
- 17:16Speaker 1: that's that. And then you talk about all this stuff
- 17:19Speaker 1: and then you give people their phones back and say,
- 17:21Speaker 1: you didn't hear it from me. Meanwhile, to San Francisco,
- 17:24Speaker 1: we had a follow-up to the story of the year
- 17:26Speaker 1: in the NFL. And forget about Jerry Rice or T.O.
- 17:30Speaker 1: My favorite 49er wide receiver, back in the news again,
- 17:33Speaker 1: he always scores. A 24-year-old woman says that she warned
- 17:41Speaker 1: 49er brass back in December of 2025. So December of
- 17:47Speaker 1: last year, she warned the 49ers about what was going
- 17:51Speaker 1: on with DeSean Love. accused of impersonating a 49er player.
- 17:57Speaker 1: That was not one, not two, not three, not four,
- 18:00Speaker 1: not five, not six, not seven, eight months before the
- 18:04Speaker 1: story became a story, before the FBI ended up saying, hey,
- 18:09Speaker 1: wait a minute, we got something going on. So she
- 18:12Speaker 1: told the team, this is what she said, and she
- 18:14Speaker 1: had the receipts. She told the team that loved the
- 18:18Speaker 1: fake 49er receiver, was under federal investigation, allegedly stealing from
- 18:24Speaker 1: random women who were trying to, I guess, stoop him?
- 18:29Speaker 1: I don't know. 49ers sent a form response saying he'd
- 18:32Speaker 1: monitor or they'd monitor the situation. The Niners said, we're
- 18:35Speaker 1: going to monitor the situation. We can't give you any
- 18:37Speaker 1: more information. That's it. Now, the reason this is interesting
- 18:41Speaker 1: is because the team had previously claimed it received no
- 18:45Speaker 1: reports from Zero reports before the FBI contacted them. They
- 18:50Speaker 1: had no knowledge. They were completely in the dark about
- 18:53Speaker 1: this guy going around with his 49er helmet on the beach,
- 18:58Speaker 1: catching passes and catching the ladies. Had no idea. Now,
- 19:03Speaker 1: Love was arrested back in August, accused of defrauding 24
- 19:07Speaker 1: plus women of roughly 1.3 million questions. How much legal trouble,
- 19:15Speaker 1: how much legal jeopardy could the 49ers be facing if
- 19:20Speaker 1: Dijon Love's victims argue that the team was warned and
- 19:25Speaker 1: failed to act? As you know, I am not a lawyer.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I can play one on the radio. So if Dijon
- 19:35Speaker 1: Love's victims can prove that the Niners were warned and
- 19:41Speaker 1: the team ignored it, And didn't do anything about it.
- 19:45Speaker 1: This is not just some kind of smoking gun. That
- 19:48Speaker 1: is a smoking inbox. Burn, baby, burn. You've got a billion-dollar,
- 19:55Speaker 1: multi-billion-dollar NFL franchise, and apparently their elite corporate security system
- 20:00Speaker 1: is just to hope somebody else handles it. That's what
- 20:04Speaker 1: bureaucracy is. That's the epitome of bureaucracy and and that's
- 20:09Speaker 1: just how it works but so you've got all this
- 20:11Speaker 1: money on it and one woman tried to sound the
- 20:12Speaker 1: alarm if she's being accurate and there were some media
- 20:16Speaker 1: people that looked at her email chain and saw what
- 20:18Speaker 1: she said happened happened uh so one woman tried to
- 20:21Speaker 1: sound alarm bells and received what appears to be a
- 20:26Speaker 1: cookie cutter boilerplate response The same response you would have
- 20:31Speaker 1: sent if you had told the 49ers, hey, so-and-so, I
- 20:34Speaker 1: think they served up some bad meatballs at the concession stand. Okay,
- 20:40Speaker 1: we are aware of the situation. We have no further comment.
- 20:43Speaker 1: It's whether we investigate or not, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 20:47Speaker 1: So the oversight could easily go down as the most
- 20:52Speaker 1: expensive customer service reply ever. since the automated bot first typed,
- 20:59Speaker 1: your complaint is very important to us. Your complaint. Hold on,
- 21:03Speaker 1: let me put this guy on hold one sec here.
- 21:04Speaker 1: This phone's ringing. All right. So there you go. Now,
- 21:07Speaker 1: since Love's arrest, here's where it gets even better. So
- 21:10Speaker 1: since this guy, DeJohn Love, was arrested, do you know
- 21:13Speaker 1: what has happened? This did not get a lot of attention.
- 21:16Speaker 1: It happened over the weekend, but it has now been
- 21:18Speaker 1: reported that that how many other ladies have stepped up
- 21:24Speaker 1: to say, hey, I also sent this dope some money?
- 21:29Speaker 1: Another 35 women. So let's do the math on that.
- 21:35Speaker 1: So it was about 24 women before, and then 35.
- 21:40Speaker 1: So we're up to 59. Yeah, can we get another 10? Anyway,
- 21:46Speaker 1: these women, possibly Hornswoggle. by this guy that is wild
- 21:53Speaker 1: and i could see this working 40 years ago or
- 21:56Speaker 1: 30 years ago but in the modern world my god
- 22:00Speaker 1: you have all the answers right there you have all
- 22:02Speaker 1: the answers right in front of you ladies how dumb
- 22:04Speaker 1: are you my god uh if any of those scams
- 22:08Speaker 1: happen here's my position if any of those scams happen
- 22:10Speaker 1: between december of 2025 and obviously up until the arrest
- 22:17Speaker 1: Those victims have a legitimate case against the 49ers. Does
- 22:22Speaker 1: anyone disagree with that? This is a potentially multi-million dollar
- 22:27Speaker 1: hiccup for the people that were scammed after December of 2025.
- 22:31Speaker 1: So anyone in January, February, March, April, May, June, July,
- 22:36Speaker 1: you're in good shape. The franchise might not be completely
- 22:40Speaker 1: cooked yet. They're not completely cooked yet, the 49ers. But
- 22:43Speaker 1: the lawyers... Let's just say they've got their bibs on
- 22:46Speaker 1: and they're not getting ready to eat ribs. They've got
- 22:48Speaker 1: their bibs on here. And those billboard lawyers, all those
- 22:51Speaker 1: billboard lawyers, who hurt you and all this? Oh, man,
- 22:54Speaker 1: those guys. Salivating. Like Pavlov's dogs, just salivating. And there
- 23:01Speaker 1: are three simple questions. Who received the warning with the Niners?
- 23:06Speaker 1: Who got the warning? Who saw it? He asked that question.
- 23:11Speaker 1: And what did they actually do about it? Those are
- 23:14Speaker 1: the questions. It is the Ben Maller Show. And we'll
- 23:19Speaker 1: take your calls at 877-99 on Fox. That's 877-996-6369 if
- 23:20Speaker 1: you'd like to be part of the live program here.
- 23:29Speaker 1: as we are all about that action, boss, all about
- 23:33Speaker 1: that action. Now, later this hour, we do have the
- 23:36Speaker 1: Insta Trivia. We also have Mallard to the third degree.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Those things will be coming up a little bit later
- 23:42Speaker 1: in the hour. Your calls up until then, 877-99-ON-FOX, on X,
- 23:48Speaker 1: at Ben Mallard. That's at Ben Mallard. And it turns
- 23:55Speaker 1: out that Taylor Swift... made someone someone who is in
- 24:02Speaker 1: the media a whole lot of money did you see
- 24:05Speaker 1: this yeah taylor swift randomly decided to make someone who
- 24:13Speaker 1: already had a decent amount of money a whole lot
- 24:16Speaker 1: more money we'll explain we'll get to that and we
- 24:19Speaker 1: will do it.
- 24:23Speaker 5: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
- 24:25Speaker 5: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
- 24:29Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
- 24:33Speaker 4: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
- 24:35Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
- 24:37Speaker 4: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
- 24:39Speaker 6: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
- 24:42Speaker 4: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
- 24:45Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
- 24:48Speaker 4: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
- 24:51Speaker 4: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
- 24:54Speaker 6: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
- 24:56Speaker 6: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
- 25:00Speaker 6: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
- 25:03Speaker 6: get anywhere else.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
- 25:07Speaker 4: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
- 25:10Speaker 4: on how football really works.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
- 25:17Speaker 3: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
- 25:21Speaker 3: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
- 25:24Speaker 3: stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you
- 25:27Speaker 3: have to replace them.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
- 25:32Speaker 4: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
- 25:35Speaker 3: So all aspects can be discussed.
- 25:37Speaker 6: The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have
- 25:40Speaker 6: enough money, I don't own the team.
- 25:42Speaker 1: I never owned a team.
- 25:44Speaker 4: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
- 25:48Speaker 4: or wherever you get your podcasts.
- 25:54Speaker 1: The Baylor Show on Fox Sports Radio as we continue on.
- 25:59Speaker 1: through the overnight hours. Not quite yet at the midway
- 26:06Speaker 1: point of our red-eye flight. However, you can be part
- 26:11Speaker 1: of the fun. 877-99-ON-FOX. It is the final week of
- 26:15Speaker 1: the baseball season. And we'll have possibly the final baseball
- 26:21Speaker 1: Mallard monologue of the regular season coming up here later on.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Down go the Yankees. The Yankees look terrible. Doesn't matter.
- 26:33Speaker 1: They could lose every game in the wildcard round to
- 26:35Speaker 1: the Red Sox, and Aaron Boone will still be there,
- 26:38Speaker 1: and Cashman will still be there. Doesn't matter. This hour,
- 26:43Speaker 1: we talked about the lazy video of Marvin Harrison Jr.,
- 26:47Speaker 1: the Seahawks coach, and the Broncos coach squabbling. And my
- 26:51Speaker 1: favorite Niner, Jordan Love. Well, not Jordan, but what's his name?
- 26:58Speaker 7: Oh, my gosh.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Dijon? Dijon Love, yeah.
- 27:00Speaker 7: That's it, right?
- 27:01Speaker 1: Dijon Love, that's it. Did he try to hit on you?
- 27:05Speaker 7: No, unfortunately, he wasn't in my inbox.
- 27:07Speaker 1: I wish he was. Good 49er guy there. 877-99 on Fox.
- 27:13Speaker 7: Love a man with a big forehead.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he does have a big forehead, yeah. Always cares.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I always carry my microphone around, you know, my Fox
- 27:21Speaker 1: Sports Radio microphone. He carries his helmet. OnX, at Ben Maller.
- 27:27Speaker 1: That's at Ben Maller. Say hello to Lorena, FSR Tech Queen.
- 27:30Speaker 1: And Koopaloop, right over there. Say hello to Koop at
- 27:33Speaker 1: a Bronco fan. Otherwise, Ned from Nebraska will be upset.
- 27:37Speaker 1: LateNightDrugTester writes in. He says, I promise to take my
- 27:40Speaker 1: lady out for an expensive date. Oh, this is like
- 27:44Speaker 1: a preview of The Queen of Hearts. I'm going to
- 27:45Speaker 1: use it right now, though. He says, late night directives.
- 27:48Speaker 1: And you can send your questions in, hashtag Queen of Hearts.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Hashtag Queen of Hearts. That'll be coming up in about
- 27:53Speaker 1: an hour. And late night directives, this is for you, Lorraine.
- 27:56Speaker 1: He says, I promise to take my lady out to
- 27:58Speaker 1: an expensive date. Am I wrong to assume a trip
- 28:01Speaker 1: to the gas station is not very romantic? Is that not?
- 28:05Speaker 8: Oh, I love a good trip to the gas station,
- 28:08Speaker 8: the fumes. You know, the gesture of getting out of
- 28:11Speaker 8: the car and pumping the gas. That's a great date.
- 28:13Speaker 4: It is.
- 28:14Speaker 8: Take them inside to get, like, a hot dog. Gas
- 28:16Speaker 8: station hot dog is a great meal.
- 28:19Speaker 3: It is.
- 28:19Speaker 1: And some gas stations have a car wash. You type
- 28:21Speaker 1: a little code in. Come on.
- 28:23Speaker 7: And it has the lights. Like, think about how romantic
- 28:25Speaker 7: that is.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Well, the only gas station you can get away with
- 28:28Speaker 1: that is Buc-ee's. I think you can't take a date
- 28:29Speaker 1: to Buc-ee's other than that. But you do have to
- 28:32Speaker 1: have money now, a lot of money, to afford gas.
- 28:35Speaker 1: You know, think about it.
- 28:36Speaker 7: Are there cameras inside of those car washes?
- 28:40Speaker 1: Good question. And does it matter?
- 28:41Speaker 7: And they see you through the soap.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Well, no, you can't see through the soap.
- 28:43Speaker 5: See?
- 28:43Speaker 1: Yeah, you can do whatever you want.
- 28:44Speaker 7: You get a little frisky in there.
- 28:46Speaker 1: The car breaks down in the car wash. You know,
- 28:48Speaker 1: things happen. The Baltimore Freeloader account writes and says this
- 28:52Speaker 1: entire tweet is off record. Even though the red camera
- 28:56Speaker 1: light is on, along with the microphone, keep everything a secret.
- 29:01Speaker 1: This is strictly background information not to be used for
- 29:05Speaker 1: public consumption. Signed, Mike McDonald and any other coach or
- 29:09Speaker 1: GM who's ever been misquoted. It is great. It is hilarious. Now,
- 29:16Speaker 1: the headline, like, they have no shame in Seattle. No
- 29:20Speaker 1: shame in Seattle. Because the headline does essentially say that. Like, oh,
- 29:24Speaker 1: this was an off-the-record conversation. Dude, you were mic'd up.
- 29:28Speaker 1: There were multiple cameras around you. Like right now, I'm
- 29:33Speaker 1: sitting in a room. There's a, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
- 29:40Speaker 1: There's a lot of lights. And then there's a one, two, three, four,
- 29:42Speaker 1: five cameras. So five cameras. And there's a one, two, three, four,
- 29:49Speaker 1: five microphones. So if I say it's not off the record,
- 29:52Speaker 1: if I say something here, like what's going on? Seriously.
- 29:58Speaker 1: But there's that. Mike McDonald's comments about Sean Payton were
- 30:01Speaker 1: not intended for public consumption. Let's go to Andre. Andre!
- 30:08Speaker 9: Andre!
- 30:08Speaker 1: Andre! Who's in the Commonwealth. And Andre might be playing
- 30:13Speaker 1: quarterback for the Giants. Who knows? What's going on, Andre? Welcome.
- 30:18Speaker 10: What's going on, Ben? Thanks for taking the call. Willis
- 30:24Speaker 10: is excited. about the lights being on.
- 30:27Speaker 2: He's going to be excited about being in the outhouse
- 30:30Speaker 2: if he keeps up because we haven't cued him in, right?
- 30:33Speaker 10: That's what he has to learn.
- 30:34Speaker 2: He just thinks when the show goes on, he's going to,
- 30:36Speaker 2: you know, but we're going to get to the bottom
- 30:39Speaker 2: of this.
- 30:39Speaker 10: You know who's excited, Ben? Jameis Winston, right? What is luck?
- 30:44Speaker 2: When preparation meets opportunity, all right? Everyone talking, the sky
- 30:48Speaker 2: is falling, Jackson Dart, the boy wonder, even though he
- 30:52Speaker 2: performed in one game, caught lightning in a bottle in
- 30:55Speaker 2: Harbaugh's season opener, right? That's when you have these opportunities
- 30:59Speaker 2: for these breakthroughs when it's early on. He hasn't necessarily
- 31:02Speaker 2: been tested, not that he would have fallen off. But
- 31:04Speaker 2: I'm thinking Jameis Winston, next couple.
- 31:06Speaker 10: Games, give him an opportunity to see if he can
- 31:09Speaker 10: hold the line. He's earned it. He's been a good citizen.
- 31:12Speaker 10: Not like the creepy quarterback, Ben, who you're down on him.
- 31:17Speaker 10: He had a big game, but he's had his ups
- 31:19Speaker 10: and downs and inconsistency.
- 31:21Speaker 2: Ben, you would agree. Speaking of gas stations, I never
- 31:24Speaker 2: thought that that would be a place to take an
- 31:28Speaker 2: affection to show them.
- 31:30Speaker 10: Willis didn't think that either.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Well, no, you can't impress a woman if you can
- 31:34Speaker 1: afford to get a full tank of gas. That's got
- 31:37Speaker 1: to be a major turn-on for the women, if they
- 31:39Speaker 1: can see a man that can afford a full tank
- 31:41Speaker 1: of gas. My God, come on.
- 31:42Speaker 2: You pick that woman up in a Yukon van and
- 31:45Speaker 2: you fill that tank up with gas, never mind if
- 31:47Speaker 2: it's on the company card or not.
- 31:51Speaker 1: They don't need to know that.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Come on. Exactly.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Never mind if it's on the company or credit card,
- 31:57Speaker 2: and I'm going to have to keep the lights off.
- 31:59Speaker 1: What's a company card? Well, I can tell you about
- 32:03Speaker 1: the old days, Coop, if you want to hear about that.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Willis says he's under the impression, and he is going
- 32:11Speaker 2: to go in the outhouse because this has continued.
- 32:13Speaker 10: He hasn't been cued, and that's the thing. But we're
- 32:15Speaker 10: going to work with him. He's got snacks. He's got snacks.
- 32:17Speaker 10: He's very animated now that we're live. But you know
- 32:19Speaker 10: what I mean?
- 32:20Speaker 2: Not that there's going to be any.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Well, that's a performing dog. Willis knows when to start barking.
- 32:26Speaker 1: And that's the very controversial dog when Willis first made
- 32:29Speaker 1: its appearance there. Calm down, Willis. Calm down.
- 32:36Speaker 2: But it almost caused me to lose my train of thought,
- 32:38Speaker 2: but not for one minute. First of all, shout out
- 32:40Speaker 2: to Benny versus the Penny. Before you make any decisions, okay.
- 32:44Speaker 10: On Thursday, we've got a big game on Thursday, but
- 32:46Speaker 10: then going into the weekend.
- 32:47Speaker 1: That is not a big game. Are you saying you
- 32:49Speaker 1: think Thursday's a big game? What are you talking about?
- 32:52Speaker 10: Ben, since when, Michael Penix, the grand return.
- 32:56Speaker 1: You saw how Kyle Rich is all excited or wasn't
- 32:58Speaker 1: excited when he brought up the quarterback coming back? He'll
- 33:00Speaker 1: get hurt again. That's what he does. That's his superpower.
- 33:03Speaker 1: He had 0-2 team against the Green Bay Packers, who
- 33:07Speaker 1: have no running game. Have you noticed that? The worst
- 33:10Speaker 1: rushing team in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers. Don't
- 33:12Speaker 1: tell Jordan Love that, because he does not want to
- 33:15Speaker 1: hear that kind of information. He gets very defensive about
- 33:19Speaker 1: the Packers' running game being Horrific and all that. Do
- 33:22Speaker 1: you see that Taylor Swift has made a media person?
- 33:24Speaker 1: You see this, Andre, has made someone in the media
- 33:27Speaker 1: who already had a lot of money, even richer. We're
- 33:29Speaker 1: talking about the wardrobe that Taylor Swift wore. Did you
- 33:35Speaker 1: watch the game the other night? Kansas City, Indianapolis?
- 33:38Speaker 10: I was locked in.
- 33:39Speaker 2: I couldn't help but, you know, because they're in prime
- 33:40Speaker 2: time and the game goes into OT. I'm not concerned
- 33:44Speaker 2: about it, but I watched the game.
- 33:45Speaker 10: I know what you're saying.
- 33:47Speaker 1: But you're not a fashion guy, right? You don't really
- 33:50Speaker 1: care what Taylor Swift was wearing.
- 33:52Speaker 10: I mean, I appreciate the fashionistas.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Okay, you might have a fashionista. So she attended the game, whatever,
- 34:00Speaker 1: and she wore a tank top. I guess that it
- 34:06Speaker 1: was designed by Erin Andrews. But do you think she
- 34:08Speaker 1: actually designed it or somebody designed it and she put
- 34:10Speaker 1: her name on it? I don't know. But it was
- 34:11Speaker 1: her apparel company. I guess she's got an apparel company.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Good for her. Way to go. And so supposedly once
- 34:20Speaker 1: people saw what Taylor Swift was wearing, the Swifties, you know,
- 34:23Speaker 1: because God forbid they wear whatever they want to wear.
- 34:25Speaker 1: They have to wear what she's wearing. because they're all
- 34:27Speaker 1: like Pavlov's dogs. She's got that Svengali effect. So the
- 34:32Speaker 1: shirt quickly sold out online, and you couldn't get it.
- 34:37Speaker 1: It wasn't that expensive or anything, but it sold out.
- 34:40Speaker 1: And so it was a $ 40 shirt. Taylor Swift won
- 34:44Speaker 1: the $ 40 shirt.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and Willis and Willis is feeling that Taylor certainly
- 34:48Speaker 2: has a commission going her way, you know, based on
- 34:51Speaker 2: the brand placement. You know, it's very, very technical.
- 34:54Speaker 10: You know, the week before, Tom Cruise was in the
- 34:56Speaker 10: press box. You know, so this is all very scripted. Now, listen,
- 34:59Speaker 10: shout out to the fashionistas out there.
- 35:00Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 35:01Speaker 10: You've probably got a couple on your staff there. But
- 35:04Speaker 10: I feel, even though this is starting to get old
- 35:06Speaker 10: for the fans.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Big Daddy Roger Goodell in the background looking at the
- 35:10Speaker 2: NFL's $ 25 billion valuation.
- 35:13Speaker 10: You hear what he said recently? He's like, listen, okay,
- 35:15Speaker 10: we're leaning into this. All the Swifties, you didn't like sports,
- 35:18Speaker 10: you didn't like football, now you're hooked. Roger Goodell said, look,
- 35:22Speaker 10: we're not competing.
- 35:22Speaker 1: They're not hooked. As soon as Travis Kelsey retires, they're
- 35:26Speaker 1: not going to be watching football because she's not going
- 35:28Speaker 1: to be going to games anymore, so they're not going
- 35:30Speaker 1: to care about football. It'll last this year, so good.
- 35:33Speaker 1: They've got a couple years out of it. Way to go.
- 35:35Speaker 1: All right, I've got to go. The great Andre. Checking in.
- 35:38Speaker 1: There he goes. And his dog, Willis. And there they go.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Where they go only.
- 35:44Speaker 7: Very, very active Willis today.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Yes. Willis wanted to put on a show and did
- 35:49Speaker 1: put on a show. And you got the. Never barks
- 35:52Speaker 1: while I'm screening the call, though. It is odd, though.
- 35:55Speaker 1: You think there's some kind of other activity going on
- 35:57Speaker 1: there to inspire Willis to.
- 35:58Speaker 9: There might be.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Okay. Like a poking or prodding or I don't know.
- 36:05Speaker 1: We have Mallard to the third degree. That is warming
- 36:08Speaker 1: up right now in the oven. Time now for the

- 39:16Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 39:18Speaker 5: Here we go.
- 39:19Speaker 1: How about that?
- 39:20Speaker 5: To the third degree. Are you ready? This is when
- 39:24Speaker 5: Big Ben gets grilled.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Koobaloo!
- 39:28Speaker 9: Speaking of the crappy Packers running game.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Yes.
- 39:30Speaker 9: A report this week suggests that when the league eventually
- 39:32Speaker 9: decides on a punishment for Josh Jacobs, that he will
- 39:35Speaker 9: be credited with time served.
- 39:37Speaker 1: Oh, that's nice. Ben, what do you think we'll see
- 39:39Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs? Next season. Really? Yeah, I... And that video,
- 39:45Speaker 1: the NFL's got to cover themselves. If that video does
- 39:48Speaker 1: get out that's been covered up, then everyone's, I don't know,
- 39:51Speaker 1: who knows. I don't know what to believe anymore, Coop.
- 39:54Speaker 1: I heard the other night that Jackson Dart was fine.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Now he's out for the year. I thought Caleb Williams
- 39:59Speaker 1: had his leg cut off. He seems like he's going
- 40:02Speaker 1: to be okay. So I don't know what to believe.
- 40:03Speaker 1: But if that video is legit and it shows him
- 40:07Speaker 1: going roughhouse, manhandling the lady, you've got to be careful. Yeah.
- 40:12Speaker 1: I say he's out for the year, but next.
- 40:14Speaker 9: Paul Skeen said in a recent interview that he believes
- 40:16Speaker 9: that pitching in the World Baseball Classic is partly to
- 40:19Speaker 9: blame for his struggles this season. He says there are
- 40:22Speaker 9: other factors, but that was the.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Root of it. Are you buying that? Well, I've been
- 40:25Speaker 1: buying that. He's coming up with an excuse. No, it's bullcrap.
- 40:29Speaker 1: There are guys that played in the World Baseball Classic
- 40:32Speaker 1: who have been fine, productive players, like pretty much every
- 40:35Speaker 1: big name in baseball played in the World Classic. And
- 40:38Speaker 1: it's like some guys didn't play well this year. Paul
- 40:41Speaker 1: Skeens is a guy, for whatever reason, that's ridiculous. I
- 40:46Speaker 1: don't buy it. I mean, I understand why he's saying
- 40:49Speaker 1: it because he can't just say, hey, I sucked at
- 40:50Speaker 1: a time I can't suck during the regular season. Do
- 40:53Speaker 1: you realize if Paul Skeens had been the Paul Skeens
- 40:55Speaker 1: of all, the Pirates would be a playoff team? Like that's,
- 40:58Speaker 1: I mean, they're actually right there.
- 40:59Speaker 6: Next.
- 41:00Speaker 5: Next.
- 41:01Speaker 9: It was announced on Monday that Doc Rivers is heading
- 41:03Speaker 9: back to the broadcast booth. Ben, we know what you
- 41:06Speaker 9: thought of him as a coach.
- 41:07Speaker 5: That's right.
- 41:08Speaker 1: How did you feel about his skills on the mic? Yeah,
- 41:11Speaker 1: he's not. There are worse NBA broadcasters. Doc has the
- 41:14Speaker 1: Svengali effect. He's good at bull crap. He seems to
- 41:18Speaker 1: be likable. The only problem with Doc is his voice.
- 41:21Speaker 1: It's hard to watch an entire NBA game with Doc
- 41:23Speaker 1: because he sounds like you want to give him a
- 41:25Speaker 1: throat lozenge because he always sounds like he's hoarse because
- 41:27Speaker 1: he's got that hoarse voice. But he's fine as a broadcaster.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Much better as a broadcaster than coach. How did we do?
- 41:32Speaker 1: You passed this edition. That is a win.
- 41:33Speaker 10: Put it on the book.
- 41:35Speaker 8: Winner, winner, winner.
- 41:36Speaker 10: Winner, winner, winner.
