  Speaker 1: One left standing. The Minnesota Vikings. You look at your
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: NFL standings. And the Minnesota Vikings at 6-0. The only
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: unbeaten team left. They got another win today. Over the Colts, however,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: how concerned should Kevin O'Connell be about the Kyler Murray-led
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Minnesota offense? as they win not a lot of style
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: points yet again for the Vikings. And can you explain
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: why the Colts coach Shane Steichen is being so loyal
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to Daniel Jones? We'll talk about that. And did Jonathan
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Taylor's wife help or hurt his situation with the Colts?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: His wife giving commentary on trade rumors, also placing herself
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on the roster in Indianapolis. I checked. I did not
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: see her name. on the actual 53-man roster. We'll talk
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: about all that and more right now. Here it is,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: our number three.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Get a.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Little hazy. Get a little hazy there. In the Twin Cities,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and it's not just a purple haze. It's a haze
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of offensive incompetence. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere.

• 2:49

• 2:54
  Speaker 1: This radio show is live, Fox 1 NFL live. This fall,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: every NFL on Fox game, the good, the bad, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the ugly, they're all there. streaming live on Fox 1
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: every Sunday, every rivalry. Miss it live, and you're just
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: watching a highlight. Get every play as it happens. NFL
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on Fox, streaming on Fox 1. Very important there. Now,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Vols fan Jimmy and Mr. Irrigation, they reached out, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they were like, hey, Mala. And I said, what do
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you want? They said, can you get to the monologue?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I said, sure. Why not? I'll get to the monologue.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour from the Twin Cities, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: then there was one. Then there was one. Brian Flores'
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: defense leading the way. Somebody named Blake Cashman. I don't
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: know who that is. I'm told that's a linebacker for
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. Had 12 tackles, two sacks, four passes defended,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: three hits on quarterback Daniel Jones for the Vikings. I'm
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: told that's good. And the Vikings continue their defensive rampage
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: as they have allowed a league-low 74 points. They get
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to 6-0 on the season. I don't know if you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: saw any of this game or not. Perhaps you missed it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So the Vikings, led by Blake Cashman... Also, safety Harrison
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Smith picked off Danny Dimes around midfield with about a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: minute left, and that was turn out the lights. The
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: party's over. The last-ditch drive for the Indianapolis Colts dropped
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to 2-5. And they needed a touchdown and an extra
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: point to take the lead, conceivably win the game. They
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: got neither the touchdown nor the extra point. The story, though,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: here to begin is on the Minnesota side of things.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: The Vikings are the only team left that hasn't lost
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a game. That's it. Yet the offense continues to blow.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: There she blows the Viking offense there. historically terrible. If
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you look at the teams that have gotten off to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: 6-0 starts, undefeated teams, the Vikings are pretty much by
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: themselves in many offensive categories for suck. And yet they
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: are 6-0. Now, Viking coach Kevin O'Connell was asked about
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: this after the game. He had a simple message. He said, quote,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we're not far off. We're not far off.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the question. We know that he says the Vikings are
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: not far off, but the question is how concerned behind
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the scenes should Coach Kevin O'Connell be about the Kyler
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Murray-led Minnesota offense? So I've got drive-through menu board, DC Comics,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and aluminum foil. And we'll combine all of these things together,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and we are going to attempt to walk on water, which, oh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, is what Minnesota defensively is going to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: have to do. And they're going to have to sing
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: like a birdie and walk on water, and then even
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that might not be enough. So to answer the question, though,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the Vikings, I just read this big story leading into
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the game that they got many of their offensive players back,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and they were as close to full strength as they've
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: been all year. So they got their guys back from
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: injured reserve. The offense was whole again. And they went
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: out and played like that. So on the Malheur Panic Meter,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the Malheur Panic Meter 1-10, with 10 being at the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: very top of the oh-my-God-we're-cooked scale of the Malheur Panic Meter,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I'm at an 8-10. Oh, the Vikings are 6-0. What
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: are you talking about, Maller? All right, calm down. Yes,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it is true the Vikings are 6-0, but in terms
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of the Viking offense, Maller's scale of, you know what, panic,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the panic meter, I'm at an 8. I'm at an
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: 8 out of 10, and here's why. The Vikings getting
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: these guys back, and somehow it looked like they still
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: had half the team on injured reserve left. There was
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: no rhythm. There was no rhyme, rhythm, or reason for
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings offense here. It was bad. And when
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you look at the drive-through menu board and you stop
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't know what I want to eat.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Which combo meal do I want to eat? Forget the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: combo meal. Coach Kevin O'Connell, has anyone lost more stock
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: despite being 6-0 than Kevin O'Connell? He's supposed to be
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the offensive guru guy. That's his thing. That's his claim
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to fame. And this Viking offense is just lousy.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Lousy.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: But O'Connell has all the ingredients with star-wide receivers and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: skilled players and all that to have a five-star meal.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Five-star meal. And yet the little fella, Alligator Arms Kyler Murray,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: keeps serving Lunchables. Nobody hates Lunchables. It's just not a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: five-star meal. It's Lunchables. And Alligator Arms, Kyler Murray, proving
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: he is who we thought he was. He's the same
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: stiff he had been in Arizona. The Cardinals paid millions
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and millions of dollars to get rid of him, which
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: should have been a dead giveaway, but it wasn't because
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings are like, oh, no, no, we know
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: better than the Cardinals. We know. We know how to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: coach this guy. Okay, how's that working out?
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: No?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Not doing well? Okay, not doing well. So Alligator Arms
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not the straw that stirs the drink.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He is the paper straw that disintegrates halfway through the drink.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That's who Kyler Murray is at this point. He's playing
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: quarterback like a guy who accidentally walked in to the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Viking facility and desperately wants nobody to notice. That's your quarterback.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You got Justin Jefferson, who the impossible has happened. Justin Jefferson,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: $ 35 million wide receiver, has been reduced to decoy. He's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a decoy at this particular point. Four catches. 44 yards.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It's not like the Colts have a good defense. Four catches,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: 44 yards. And even worse, bad news on the horizon
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings because Grand Theft Auto 6 is
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: launching soon. And we know Kyler is a much better
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: gamer than he is a quarterback. So problems for Minnesota.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That coaching staff, they're going to have to deal with
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: even more limited attention. The attention span of Alligator Arms'
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not going to be very high once
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out, so good luck
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: on that. Meanwhile, furthermore. to the indie side of things,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: where the Colts are beaten and broken and co-chained, despite
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: all that, remaining the president of the Daniel Jones Marching
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and Chowder Society. refusing to bench his incompetent quarterback despite
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: week after week of performances that are worthy of losing
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: your job. But he continues to double down, and Indianapolis
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: losing this game in Minnesota. Jones dazzled. He had 108
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: passing yards. Very impressive. And he's just been outstanding. 13
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: of 22 passing for 108 yards for the Indianapolis Colts.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He then gift-wrapped a game-ending interception game as the Colts
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: go down. So that means now through seven games, Danny Dimes,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: good old Danny Dimes, is completing a career low 59.6%
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of his passes. I'm told that's not good. With four
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and seven interceptions. We mentioned this earlier, but Minnesota
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: blitzed 85% of the time. Brian Flores said, hey, this
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: guy can't handle the blitz. And Daniel Jones gave a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: tutorial on how he can't handle the blitz. 85% of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the time, Daniel Jones dropped back. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Just like that. Daniel Jones. Vanellovic! He handled that by
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: turning into a human piñata. Not good. Not good there.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: So despite a radioactive 41.2 QBR for Daniel Jones... It
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: turns out that Shane Steichen said he has a, quote,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ton of faith in his quarterback. Gotta have faith, faith, faith.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Gotta have that faith. All right, so the question. Can
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you explain why? Can you explain why the Colts coach,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Shane Steichen, is being overly loyal to Daniel Jones? All right,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: so because apparently Shane Steichen, the coach there in Indy,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: has a lifetime subscription to to career suicide monthly for
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: NFL head coaches. What are you doing? Seriously. Like, what
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is that? You're going to double and triple down on
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. And it seems like Shane Steichen's trying to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: get fired. Now, maybe he's lying, and he'll change his
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: story later on, and he'll say, like, after watching the tape,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we've decided to bench... Daniel Jones. I don't believe that'll happen, though.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: He's just not long for Indianapolis at this rate, Shane Stike,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and he likely knows it anyway. You look around the room,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and it's not about loyalty, though, in terms of, I've
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: got to keep this guy as my quarterback. I've had
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: so much great success with Daniel Jones and all that stuff.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It's professional malpractice wearing a headset if you're Shane Stike
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and the coach there in Indianapolis. And Daniel Jones has
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: become a DC Comics character. Poison Ivy. Everything he touches
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: turns toxic. Daniel Jones. The poisonous touch. The toxins. The
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: ability to essentially behead an entire franchise. And he's doing it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Way to go. Forget the Avengers. Indianapolis at this point.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: They need a hazmat team to come in. the quarterback
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: room and deal with Daniel Jones. And my God, the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Colts thought that they were going to refurbish Daniel Jones
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and they were going to get a new and improved
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: version of Daniel Jones. Well, instead, it turns out they
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: got the Giants, New York Giants factory reconditioned model, complete
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: with the original defects. And there were so many. It
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: is one of the great stories that this guy has
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: mastered the art, Daniel Jones. The Giants gave him a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: contract he didn't deserve. The Colts did the same thing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It really is wild. Daniel Jones has played well in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: about five or six NFL games in his career and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: yet has managed to get two contracts. Has anyone done
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: less to get more money than Daniel Jones has? It's crazy.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Jones spent a few weeks in 2025 masquerading as a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: big-time quarterback, a franchise quarterback. He got hurt. And people forget,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt, he wasn't playing well. And it
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: didn't matter. The Colts are like, well, we found our guy.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: We found our guy. And so he was able to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: convince those dingleberries in the front office in Indianapolis, those
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Mama Lukes, to hand him a two-year contract for $ 88 million,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: $ 60 million guaranteed. He got $ 60 million for playing well
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in like three or four games. That's it. Now, former
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: GM Chris Ballard, the Ballard of the ball, no more.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Ballard was hornswoggled and bamboozled and taken to the cleaners.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: That guy couldn't find a quarterback. If you put Joe Montana,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady, all these legends in front of him, he
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to find him. He'd be like, no, no, no,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want those guys. I want John Kitna. Well, no,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you want the good. No, I don't want those guys.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I want John Kitna. So he was excommunicated as a
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: direct result of Daniel Jones. And here's the most damning
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: indictment I can say about the situation in Indianapolis. And
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it is a damning indictment of all. Anthony Richardson is
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: so far underground. Forget six feet underground. He's further than
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: six feet underground. He is so far in the doghouse
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: for Shane Steichen and the Colts that they'd rather play
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, who has played himself into a benching. They
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: would rather continue to play him than put Anthony Richardson
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: out there because he quit. Anthony Richardson's a quitter, but
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: yet the Colts don't have the balls to just release
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: him or trade him. It's a very odd situation because
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: they don't want to play him because they know the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: guy's a quitter. Yet they didn't release him and they
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: haven't traded him. Of course, who would trade for him?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: It's a mess. I mean, he's paying property taxes down
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: there in the doghouse. Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis. My God,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that blind loyalty on the road to unemployment for Shane Steichen,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: who can be your offensive coordinator next year. If you
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: need an offensive coordinator, I can see him going back
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to the Chargers. And being the OC for the Chargers. Now,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: last thing. To the trade market we go. Where we
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: stay with the Colts. Running back Jonathan Taylor. Facing a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: lot of speculation about his future. And he's got a two-year,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: $ 44 million contract extension he signed with Indianapolis. However, his wife...
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: His wife has entered the chat.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: A player's wife making headlines. That would be Ayanna Taylor
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: suggesting her husband's future is uncertain. Following Chris Ballard being
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: whacked as the GM in Indianapolis postgame. Jonathan Taylor was
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: asked about his wife's, I guess, TikTok and commenting about
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: his status. And it was very bizarre. because Jonathan Taylor's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: wife talked about we and made it seem like she
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: was playing for the Colts. Anyway, here is Jonathan Taylor reacting. JT,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I saw your wife shared a video on Instagram or
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Twitter about you and your future.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: How do you feel about that being out there, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: do you have any type of response to that? I
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: think it's been out there already, so I think her
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: adding to it doesn't really change anything. Everybody's on TikTok
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: these days, so you just have to come into work
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: and stay focused.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not on TikTok, so I'm not on it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Me either.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Coop's not on TikTok. Lorena, are you on TikTok?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I have it, but I don't use it. Okay, so
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: there's two people definitely not on it and a third
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that doesn't use it. So not everyone's on TikTok. All right, question.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Did Jonathan Taylor's wife help or hurt his situation with
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the Colts? That's the question. What's the answer? So the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: question is, she helped if the goal... is to be
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: traded as soon as possible. Ayanna Taylor has apparently decided
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to launch a sports talk radio career. She does not
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have a job at a radio station, but she's doing
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: hot takes. And aren't those fun? Everyone loves hot takes.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I've been in the hot take business a long time.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: It's a great business. All these ex-jocks want to do it. Players'
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: wives want to do it. The hot take, it's so fun.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: It really is. Everyone loves their hot takes. Now, when
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: she said we... Her quote was, we have been on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the team for seven years. I was like, who's going
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to tell her? Who's going to be the one to say,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you're not actually on the roster. You're just
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: along for the ride. All right. Who's going to tell her?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So the word we doing a lot of heavy lifting,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of heavy lifting with Mr. Taylor's wife there.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: we uh so apparently being married to a football player
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: now qualifies as a seven year period of nfl service
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: time i guess uh she's talking like she's taking an
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: ice bath after practice the whole thing she's got all
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that down and still Ayanna Taylor, the wife of the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Colts running back there, she is really doing the Lord's work.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And let me explain why. Because she's creating content. The
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Colts are unwatchable. They're absolutely die, die, diarrhea. That's the Colts.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: That's a bad team, man. Bad effing team. And Jonathan
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Taylor's wife, there she is doing the Lord's work. And
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: she's entering the transfer portal on behalf of the entire family. Now,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the reason I said this will help expedite a trade
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: for Jonathan Taylor, it is the kind of self-inflicted, cringe-inducing
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: commentary that makes the people that work inside those NFL
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: buildings want to chew aluminum foil like it's bubble gum
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and blow bubbles around. With the aluminum foil. It is
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like to comment on
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: any of this, you can join us right now. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: anything we haven't talked about. The Chiefs got punked by Seattle.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: One of the games. That was a Sunday night game
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: last night. Not a very good game. There were better
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: games on Sunday. But any of these things, we'll be
• 20:54

  Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: get anywhere else.
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: on how football really works.
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: you have to replace.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: So all aspects can be discussed.
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: enough money, I don't own the team.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: I never owned a team.

• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Honey never expires. You can eat honey from the stone age.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: There's no expiration. I think whiskey and wine are also
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: very good at aging. Yeah. You can drink some vodka.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Yuck.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Get the potatoes, you know, like. Anyway, it is the
• 25:02

  Speaker 3: Hey, Ben.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: How you doing? Good, good. I just want to first
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: and foremost give a tip of the microphone to you
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: and the show and everybody that works on the show
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: from the behind-the-scenes people to Lorena, to Coop for making
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: this show great. And, of course, you, of course. I

  Speaker 4: not a thankless job, and this is me giving my
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: thanks to you guys.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: It's very kind.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: I promise I won't miss a spot.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. You know what I was going to say?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't want you to miss a spot. Let me
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: adjust my headphones a couple of notches here.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Keep going.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: You ready for this?
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: Okay, so.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: So you, Ben Maller, you are a linguistic architect, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I just think your ability to do a show for
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: four hours in the middle of the night for weeks
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: upon weeks, years upon years, is truly, genuinely like you're
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: an architect of logos. You're an architect of the world.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you're very kind. I appreciate that, Mason. So that's
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: just what I wanted to say.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Very kind. How's your daytime job? Mason sold out years ago.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: He sold out for the dreaded day shift, but we
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: lost him.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: I wish I was able to tune in more. to
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: the live show. I really do wish I could, but,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: you know, it's not that amazing, I'll tell you that.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: You know, it's not all it's cracked up to be, guys.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: You don't get to hear Ben Maller in the middle
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: of the night, and you're working kind of crappy hours,
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: and you've got to wake up early and stuff. It's
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: not fun. I hear you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I hear you. Well, listen, I'm glad you're doing all right, though, Mason.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: One of these meetings, we'll at some point do one
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. I've been saying that for years,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: but you've got.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: To show up.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: I'll be there. I'll be there.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: I'll be there. Hey, wait, wait. Can this be the
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: part where I talk about the Broncos?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're going to do Bronco propaganda here? Go ahead.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: No, well, I actually genuinely want to ask you what
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: your assessment is of the Broncos offense and how they're
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: winning almost in spite of Bo Nix. Is that due
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: to Sean Payton? What is that? What is that?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, it's nice that they're winning. Much like the Vikings,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it's sustainable. Did you watch the
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: game yesterday, Mason? In spite of Bo Nix, did you
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: see the 62-yard touchdown run? Who'd they play? Because we
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: know that'll happen again. He'll run for 62 yards.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: No, that was an anomaly, Coop. Dude, I get it.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, Bo Nix did need a feel-good game. to
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: get kind of his season right, to get it going.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: He's going to ball out from here on.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I want to see that next week against the Chiefs.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I want to see that next.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Week against the Chiefs. Cooper's a Bo Nix truther, and
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: he will overlook all the negative stuff.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: I'm a Bo Lever, too, but I call it how
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I see it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Again, the Cardinals, when you play the Cardinals, the only
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: thing that can happen is embarrassment, like when the Rams
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: lost to the Cardinals. You can't celebrate a win over
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They're the Cardinals. All right, I got to go.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mason. All right, thank you. Mason, the millennial.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the Dixter right now. He's got his
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown shirt on. He's fired up. The Bengals also won.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: A great day in Ohio NFL football. And the one
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and only. Dick in Dayton, the legend. Hello, Dixter. Welcome.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Well, what a season the Browns are having and Watson.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I just, it's unbelievable. It reminds me back to the
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: 70 era when Brian Sipe was there. The cardiac kids,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: aren't they?
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Are you all in now? Are you believing that this
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: is real, Dick?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a dream and a dream. And then I
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: switched over and I couldn't believe Joe Burrow, I think,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: set a record yesterday.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Gosh, he looked good. He had touchdowns every play in
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the second half. They scored touchdowns on every drive to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: start the second half. It was crazy. How about that?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: You watched both games. I'm proud of you, Dick. You
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: watched both games. Look at you, you big stud. And
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: you got all this social life. You got all these
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: things going on here, and you still found time to
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: watch your football.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Great. Oh, yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Did you listen on the radio at all? Because our buddy,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: isn't Andrew still doing the games on the radio, Andrew? Oh,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: he's a great announcer.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: You know, he's pretty good.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Part of the alumni. You used to work here, Dick,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: back in the day.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I think I talked to him a
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: couple times. He had to fill the shoes of a legend.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: It's just so sad that Jimmy Donovan died like Nev Chandler.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: You know, it was just.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Donovan was great.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I used to call, I don't know if I told you,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Monday night they had the Fox Sports, you could call Cleveland, station.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: And I talked to Jimmy Donovan, Doug Deacon, and back
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: then was Tony Grossi. And I've talked to him a
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: couple of times. He's a beat writer for the Plain Dealer.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: And he's good.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: But it's a good day in Ohio. But I'm worried
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: about the Buckeyes with that quarterback being hurt. You know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I want to see them go all the way, you know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: in that Big Ten, but we've got.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Are you more of a Buckeye fan or a Browns fan?
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I say more Browns. Oh, really?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, interesting.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: And everybody's told me that they've come and told my
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: bosses here that... My cousin called me. She's from Olmstead Falls.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Her dad was a big Indian, and she called me,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: and she thought the picture of me in Cincinnati was great.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: She liked it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, she enjoyed that. I got you. Well, yeah, absolutely.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: It was a good time. Listen, everything's great elsewhere. You're
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: feeling good? Your health is good?
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Outstanding. Have a great day, everybody. Bye-bye.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Bye.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton, where he goes, only he knows. Let's
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: say hello real quick. Don't have a lot of time,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: but we have Danny DeVito, America's favorite trash man from
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the Boston area. Hello, Danny. Welcome.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: How you doing, Mr.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Mel?
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: You can hear me, right?
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: I'm on my earpiece in here.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can hear you. There's a lot of
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: ambient noise, a lot of noise, sound of the streets
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. Yes, what's up?
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was a nice week. Well, happy birthday
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: first to Miss Peterson, which is 34, 35. I forgot
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: how old she is. Thank you, thank you.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Miss turned 21 again, so happy birthday, Lorena. Happy 21st birthday.
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: Woo!
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was happy birthday to her. And it
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: was a great week, Ben, and I won some money.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: But somebody, you know, Saturday and Sunday, Ben, I watched
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: these teams, and it's gotten a bad trend. It's a
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: three-point freeze. I'm so sorry to see, especially the Lions'
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: coach here, Danny Campbell. I mean, he's lucky yesterday, Ben,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: because the Packers are so bad. You know, we got
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: lucky yesterday. But kick the three, Ben. It's a bad
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: trend that's going on in the league, both in college
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: and in pro. They can kick the three points, Ben.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: You know, both points count.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a combination of things. As you know, Danny,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of these teams have bad kickers. That's part
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: of the problem. And then you've got the nerds that
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: are like, no, no, the numbers say you go for it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: You don't kick the field goal. So you combine both
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: those things. It is maddening. that this happens on a
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: regular basis. But how many missed field goals were there, though, yesterday?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I'm watching. There's a missed field goal. There's a missed
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: field goal. There were tons of missed field goals yesterday.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: There was tons of missed field goals. Yeah, but there
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: was one that was lost in the Lions game. Then
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: it was fourth down and six up and six. The
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: odds of you scoring, they get really tight, as you know.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: The field strength's up. So how about kicking the field
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: goal in and tying the game up?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I would pick my spots on going for it on
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: fourth down. And the pendulum has swung way too far
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: in the direction of, hey, let's not kick any field goals.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And the noise is really bad, though, Danny, so I'm
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: going to let you go. It is the Ben Maller Show.
