• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this hour to begin the night, a story that is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: just outstanding made for sports radio.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Just add water and you're off to the races.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: So the post mortem on the whacking heard round the NFL.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: They dropped the guillotine on you if you're Sean McDermott,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: HyG on and that led to a hum dinger of
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a day, a hum dinger of the day.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: You can't handle the truth.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: So if you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Didn't see or hear about this, perhaps not. We taken
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: out of Western New York, where Bill's owner Terry Pegoula
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is the talk of the town in the NFL, as
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: he did the thing that not many people do at
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: They don't normally do it. So again, another.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Rich guy, aristocrat owns the Buffalo Bills, and he got
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up on the podium with GM Brandon Bean and they
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: teamed up to deliver what can only be called a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: hummed dinger of a news commerce to try to explain
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: why they fired head coach Sean McDermott.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: And you'd say, pretty easy, pretty.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Easy to say, why you fired the guy because he
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: kept joking in the playoffs. But it was much deeper
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: than that. It was much deeper than that. They didn't
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: just explain the coaching change. They took a ride on
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the wild side, and I love it so Pagola, I'll
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: give you some of the hits. It there was a lie,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but I'll give you some of this, Pagola said. The
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: owner of the Bill said he fired Sean McDermott because
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he felt the team hit the proverbial playoff wall after
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: seven straight trips to the playoffs without appearing in the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Here is just to prove I'm not lying.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Here is Pegoula commenting on what I just said. Just
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to prove I'm not a liar.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Take a list.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: My decision to bring in a new coach was based
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: on the results of our game in Denver. I know
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: we can do better, and I know we will get better.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: I did not fire a coach based on a bad
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: officiating decision. If I can take you into that locker room,
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall, year
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: after year, thirteen seconds, missfield goals, the catch I just
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: sensed in that locker room, like, where do we go
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: from here?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Wait, fire the coach. Come on, it's obvious fire the coach,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: all right. So that was a big one, essentially said
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the tone I got.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I watched this thing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It happened while I was sleeping that I watched it
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: on the YouTube, and it sounded like he just walked
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: any cyberyone upset, and so it's like, I'll fire.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: The coach, all right. So then we get to the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: even better stuff.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So the owner of the Bills, this guy, Terry Pagola,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He also talked about Keon Coleman. Now, this is a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: big local issue in Buffalo because Coleman's not only a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. The guy sucks, right, he's terrible. I think
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: his second round pick. The guy can't play, so everyone
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: knows the guy. Guys are so Pagola. This was actually
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Brandon being the GM who was asked about Keon Coleman
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the selection. What went into all of that? And Pogola
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: actually stepped in the owner of the Buffalo Bills to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: answer the question, take a listen.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, can I interrupt, I'll address the Keon situation. The
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: coaching staff pushed to draft Kon. I'm not saying Brandon
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: And he's taken, for some reason, heat over it and
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: not saying a word about it. But I'm here to
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: tell you the true story.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sure you are yes, all right, So there
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you go. He said, Ah, it's the coaches. The owner
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of the Bill said, it's the coaches. It's not my buddy,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: My buddy Brandon Bean who got promoted. All right, so
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Lot's unpacked. The
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Bill's owner is getting absolutely cooked for this. It's been
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: called just one of the most embarrassing things. The guy
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: has lost it. Al Davis had some of these back
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in the day when he was obviously dead.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Now own the Raiders.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question Terry Pegoula getting killed
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: for what's being called a disaster class news conference in Buffalo.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: People are saying he has damaged the Bill's brand?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Is that how you see it?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So I've got director's cut, Mazzarella, sticks, and anchorman, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together. And we
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: were going to make a trip over Niagara Falls, because
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: this felt like a trip over Niagara Phone.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: It was pretty good. I gotta tell you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I woke up to a bunch of text messages some people,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: he did you see what the the Bill's owned to do?
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: What do you do? You know?
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't know what happened.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was kind of half half sleeping still,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and I picked up my phone. Oh my god, what
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I wanted? Something good must have happened. And then yep, yep,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good. All right, So my first thought
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: on this to answer the question.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: You know, people are saying that the Bill's brand has
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: been damaged. Is that how you see it? So the
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: answer is no.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Everyone who's clutching their pearls here and letting out a
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: primal screen because Terry Pagoula went off script.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, the older talked. He said the thing
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: that you're.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Not supposed I mean, come on, listen, please, This didn't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: damage the buff of the Bill's brain. In fact, I'll
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: be the contrarian here behind the microphone, and I will
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: say that this made it more compelling, like this is
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: must see TV, must hear radio. We finally got the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: director's cut, not the Disney edit, not filtered. This was
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: classic old guy philipbuster. We all hope to get old
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: enough so we just don't give an f anymore. You
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: get to a certain age, and you see this all
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the time, you go out the restaurants or whatever, the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: old guy that just doesn't give a crap, right and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: just goes for it and says whatever the things that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: polite society you're not supposed to say. You say when
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you get to a certain age, because you figure, hey,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I got unlimited time left. I'm gonna enjoy myself. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Terry Pegoula was passionately defending the general manager of the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, this guy, Brandon Bean.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: As you heard there like a.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Proud dad at a little league game. My boy did
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: not want that draft pick. He did not want that turd,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: did not want it. Meanwhile, the kids standing out in
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the outfield, that's Keon Coleman out there catching strays like
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it's duck season. And Coleman in the middle seat on
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a cross country flight. Elbows on both sides, no arm reds,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: no leg room, nowhere to go.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: You are trapped. You are trapped, and.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: The owner is saying the owner of the Bills say yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the coaches want the jam says nothing, of course, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: then the player's stuck holding the bag. Of course he
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: should hold his duffel bag because there's no way he
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: comes back to the Bills.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: That's it, And it's not that he didn't earn it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Keon Coleman was not good at his job. He was
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a healthy scratch. There was some behind the scenes issues
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: there multiple games, as I remember.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: So this is not a brand damage.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Though I wouldn't go that far. I think of it
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: like the old Mad TV back in the day. If
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you remember that dysfunction junction, how do you function? It's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: compelling dysfunction. That's the Bills, baby, and hey, it's good,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it's great people. Oh, the Bill's mafia. The fan base
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is upset one. They sure they're upset because they keep
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: losing in the playoffs and they like McDermott. And they'll
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: get over it once September comes around. They'll pick somebody
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: new in the draft and they'll hire a coach. We'll
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: say all the right and bull crap, and then everyone
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: will be back on the band and we get back
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to September. Now, page two. Staying with the Bills, though,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: so the questionaire, the owner Terry Pagool has said that
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: he's not going to tell the next Bill's coach it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: super Bowl or bust, whoever that might be. They haven't
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: replaced Sean McDermott. But the owner is like, well, I'm
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: not gonna say it's super Bowl or bus. So the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: question is why not?
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Why not? All right?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And my response would be because some things in life
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: don't need to be said.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: It's kind of like when you get.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: On an airplane, you know, you don't tell the pilot, hey,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: try not to crash the plane.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, you don't need to say that, right, if.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You're going into the operating room, you don't tell the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: search and try to get the right kidney.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Please.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: You know, you don't know it's implied. This isn't a
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: starter job.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That we're not talking about going to Ikea and buying
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a bookshelf and you're missing half the screws and the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Allen ranches bent and you're like, ah, crap, this thing
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: is already built. It's already built that The bills are
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a frozen food delicacy.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Think about it like you're to Walmart and you got every.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Possible frozen food you could want, right, and so you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: go through there. You look, they got the frozen vegetables.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You don't want to get a part of that. I
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: got some ice cream, but you know about that. So
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: then they've got some fries, some potatoes, some onion rings,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: things like that. But then you see the mazzarella sticks.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You grab the mozzarella sticks, and that's buffalo buffaloes. The
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: mozzarella sticks. You don't cook them from scratch, they're already
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: pre made. You just toss them in the air fryer
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: for five minutes. You don't screw that up. Boom, you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: got mozzarella sticks. The Bills have an MVP quarterback. Granted
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it was kind of a flimsy MVP, but they have
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: an MVP quarterback. Check that box. The roster that's been
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: nibbling among the top teams in the NFL for many.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Years now, so check that. And the clock, though, is ticking.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: You got about two to four years, depending on how
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this thing goes with Josh Allen, before the Bills start
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: coming due.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: After that, well after that it gets ugly, ugly with
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: a capitol you. So you're talking about roster.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Rot and bad vibes and all that stuff. So Pagola,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the owner here, he doesn't have to formally announce Super
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Bowl or boss doesn't have to say that because it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: already tattooed on the job description. If you read the minutia,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the fine print there, you will see that that is
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the way it is now. The last word here. So
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: following the Buffalo Bluster, reports came out of Western New
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: York claiming that a I love this. A source close
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to Josh Allen said that the Bills quarterback had faith
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in the leadership of the team under the owner Terry
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Pagoula and Brandon Bean and will take an active role,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: an active role in participating in the upcoming head coaching
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: interview process. So that was the way it was reported there,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and more likely than not, is Josh Allen calling one
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of his buddies, a beat writer, texting him saying, I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: gotta get some message out right now.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Can you help me out? Sure, I'll help you out.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Question?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So, Josh Allen, if this report what is accurate? Josh
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Allen is said to have quote faith in the Bills leadership.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Is this solid or shaky?
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Right? So this is the word I will use.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: On This is diplomacy. This isn't necessarily believe. It's like
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a hostage note written with a nice smiley face. You
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: wrote a little smiley face there on your hostage note.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You're talking about a guy that is the former MVP
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: who's playing the role in this chapter of the book
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: as a statesman.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Because what else on God's green Earth is he gonna do?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Is he gonna act like Bill's mafia and flip a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: table and light it on fire in Orchard Park and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: jump on it? Is that what he's gonna do place
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen's camp. Everyone's dealing with this organizational whiplash and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: It's great. I have no skin in the game.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Not in Finally on Bill's Monster, Derek and Felexus and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the other people, we have their Bills fans in that part.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: We love. People in Buffalo love the show. It's great.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But in about five minutes, I'm using Mallard time. But
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in about five minutes Bill's Mafia went from chest thumping
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a playoff victory over you know, just feeling good, good
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: playoff vibes. They watched the whole thing tip over like
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a drunk guy going out to get the mail on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a walking on his driveway to go down to get
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the mail and slips and.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Falls and all that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: They go from beating Jacksonville late on a wild wild
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Card weekend, everyone's feeling all warm and fuzzy.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's great.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Then overtime roadkill in Denver late against the Broncos, splat
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: windshield wipers can't keep up with the mess, and Josh
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Allen turns into Anchorman's Ron Burgundy, a glass case of emotion.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: The owner walks into the locker room sees tears, panics,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: hits the big bed, the big red button hat, a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: giant red button hits that and and wax the coach.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: And then you're like, wow, that has any quickly, right.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So if Josh Allen hadn't cried, would you have kept
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Sean mcderhatt. I think that that part of it is
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it smells like manure to me. And I'll tell you why,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: because the issue was they kept losing. It wasn't that
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: they got emotional. If anything, getting emotional would indicate that
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: they care about the coach, you would want to keep
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the coach, wouldn't that be the case, Like these guys
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: really love this guy and they felt bad. The other
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: thought I had was the players knew that if they
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: didn't win that game that Sean mcdertt was going to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: be fired, and they were bummed out about that. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it's kind of how I relate. I've worked here at
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio pretty much my entire adult life. We've
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: had many people run the company, and every time the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: boss changes, you always get kind.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Of this weird feeling in your stomach.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, crap, I might have to go work
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: somewhere else, you know, And and you just keep doing it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: But because every boss has their favorites, right, every boss,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: no matter what the job is, whether it's I work
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: in radio, whatever your job is, well it was got
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: favorites like parents have favorite kids, you know, just the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: way it is. And so you're always like, oh no,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you got a new boss is gonna come in. You're
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: not gonna like me, Oh crap, what am.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I gonna do? And all that stuff. But it is fascinating,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: And then Josh Allen right now, you know the cartoon
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: bubble in my head. He's saying all the right things
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: right now, he's the Statesman. He's sweeping up the glass,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: he's taping the bumper back on, and really, what choice
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: does he have? Josh Allen is the Buffalo bills. He
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: can't demo the building because he's still that's where he works.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: You can't demo the building you work in. You're still inside.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And in terms of the word faith, yeah, sure, it
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: feels less less like belief though, it's more like survival mode.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And it's not really solid.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Ground right now. It's gonna thin ice and we'll see
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: if the bill's higher. Here.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Some of the names that have been mentioned for that
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Buffalo job are not the most exciting names.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: They don't get you all aroused there, they don't.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: So we'll see where this goes.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: But man, what a mess. All right? It is the
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Ben Malers Show.
• 16:58

• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you don't say I did say? And that's not just
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: theater of the mind. That's theater the mindless when you
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: put a camera in there. See radios theater of the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: mind when you listen just to the audio, because you
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: have to imagine things. But when you're watching the camera,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: when you're looking at the camera, it's theater the mindless.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Of course, I have been told by people that work
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: in the business that even though these YouTube videos people
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: we put them up, most people don't stare at their
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: phone looking at you. They just occasionally they'll glance over
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: while they're doing something else.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: But they have it. They're not like locked in Thank God,

  Speaker 4: So our lead this hour.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: We start out in northern California, fresh off getting their
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: lunch handed to them by the Seattle Seahawks and a
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: no show effort. The forty nine ers gave the state
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: of the team address Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. The
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: star of the show would be John Lynch, The GM
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: there who confirmed that the Niners are about to decommission
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Brandon Iuck this offseason. So if you didn't
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: see this or hear it, maybe not Lynch. He announced
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that it's it's time, not quite yet, but in due time,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the winds of change will be blowing.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Let's go to the audio tape. Here's John Lynch. Take
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: a listen.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: You know the plan in terms of the transaction that
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: will come in due time. I think it's safe to
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: say that he that, you know, he's played his last
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: snap with the Niners. It's unfortunate situation that just went awry,
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: and I will look long and hard at you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: what could have been done differently, but sometimes just doesn't
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: work out.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I think that this was this was a case where
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: that happened.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: All right, so played his last snap with the Niners.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Will come and du time didn't work out. Blah blah
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Now keep in mind, this is
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: not just your run of the mill roster move like
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: this is like a lot of what this guy held
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in during training camp in twenty twenty four and then
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: signed a four year contract for one hundred and twenty
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: million dollars Now you would think with that kind of
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: extension you'd be putting on a happy face. This guy, no, no,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: this is next level hutzba. He appeared in just seven
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: games before he had a big bowl of rice crispy
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: snap crackle pop, and then the injury. And so the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Niners now, finally they could have moved him even though
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: he didn't play this past season. They if he got
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to another team, he likely would have been able to play.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But they held on to him, and so now they're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: gonna trade him or.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Who knows, release him. It's all a good jumping off points.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss as you heard the Niners GM
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: there John Lynch saying that Brandon Ayuck has played his
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: last snap with the.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Forty nine ers. So where does he end up? Let's
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: play the speculation game.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: So I've got jim Nance, Mystery Machine, and Philly Pops,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and we'll combine all of these things together and we're
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: gonna make birthday cake with great frosting and milk is
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna make. That's what we're doing. Put those
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: things together. Yum yum to your tomb tumb So a
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Brandon Auck is more than just damaged.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Goods. He is completely covered from head to toe with
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: moles and warts.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: He's got more warning labels on him than a bottle
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: of draino at this particular point. Now, he did the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Niners dirty. He did the Niners dirty, the whole a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: wall thing and all that. And John Lynch, and some
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of this is on the Niners. You got to know
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: your employees, right. They clearly misread the room. They thought
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk had the fighting spirit, They thought he was
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: a competitor. They thought he wanted to win, wanted to
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: play hard, wanted to do his job. Clearly he wasn't
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: all of those things. Otherwise you wouldn't be in this
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: particular situation. And so John Lynch got the Jim Nance
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Breakfast special burnt toast is what he got. He got burned, burn,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: baby burn. And does he even does the player even
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: want to play football? Or the question must be asked,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: is Brandon Ayuk looking for a team to go to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to bankroll his sabbatical so he can continue to make
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of money and do nothing. Now Brandon Iok
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: becomes the ultimate high end reclamation project. A lot of
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: people in the NFL that believe in the Father Flannagan mantra,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: but he's got flashing warning labels that are that they're
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: popping up everywhere. However, again I go back to the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: NFL mantra, talent trumps all. It's the never give up
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: on talent thesis that the NFL runs by, and so
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: spinning the malor wheel of speculation for Brandon ayuk round
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and round and round and round, big money, big money,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: No Whomy's stop. All right, So you've got the Steelers,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the Bills, and the Chiefs all lined up. It's like
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: speed dating at a dive bar, is what it is
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: at two in the morning before the bar closed. There's
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: no risk it, no biscuit. That was Bruce Arian's line
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: from back of the day. All of those teams, the Steelers, Bills,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and Chiefs obviously pop up on the malar wheel of speculation.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: They are devoid of elite level playmakers at the wide
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: receiver position. All of them are in the American Football Conference,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and all of them are at the point now where
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: they'd be willing to take a player who's tarnished and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: he's got cooties like Brandon Aya because they're desperate, right,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: They're desperate, and so they need the player, they need
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a talent upgrade. You're willing to overlook things like people
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: that don't want to do their job.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we stay in the Bay Area where forty nine
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Ers GM. John Lynch also confirmed during the end of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: season news conference that the team is going to investigate
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the viral TikTok theory linking electromagnetic fields from a nearby
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: electrical substation to the persistent injury problems. You might remember
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: in a previous episode we discussed this very topic.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: And we pointed out that the science.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: On this has been done over the years because there's
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: people that just live near these substations and they think
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that something's happening, and so they studied it and they
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: determined that they're and who knows whether you believe this
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: or not, but they determined that there was nothing there
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: there anyway, here's Lynch talking about the forty nine ers
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: investigating take a list.
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: You have to look into everything, and so our guys
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: have been We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: to see does a study exist rather than a guy
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and by coming up
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: with a number that I have no idea what that means.
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: That's what we know exists. We've heard that debunked, you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: So yes, we will look into it. We have and
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: we'll always be cognizant of things. I know that a
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: lot of games have been won at this facility, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: since it opened. But yeah, we aren't going to turn
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: a blind eye. We'll look into everything.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, So the question how likely, just between us, how
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: likely are the forty nine ers to find in a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: smoking gun an injury smoking gun with the electromagnetic field conspiracy.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: It popped up on social media.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: So in the cartoon bubble above my head, on the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: right side of my head, right you can't see because
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: it's radio, but above my head, John Lynch is out
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: there driving the mystery machine. He's sniffing around and right
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: around the electromagnetic field conspiracy like Scooby Dooby doo retrow.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Somebody get that man some Scooby snacks right now. Next,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: they're gonna blame what. They're gonna blame our friend Andrea
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the astrology insider. They're gonna say the reason the forty
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: nine ers keep getting hurt is because mercury is in retrograde.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: They're gonna investigate that and then maybe after that the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: moon phase pulled a hamstring.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Or something like that. This is a.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: First class ticket to Bakersville, is what this is. You've
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: got the low frequency EMF turning ligaments into what pulled pork?
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Is that what's going on here?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: And so okay, delicious, put some barbecue sauce on. It
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: showed me the science. Of course, there is no science
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to back this up. Zero zilch, not a bupkus, whatever.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Word you want to eat.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like blaming the popcorn burning because of
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the Wi Fi football has been a demolition derby. It's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: car crashes with shoulder pads, and there's also this thing
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: called randomness and variance involved in it. And say, well
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: this wasn't great and we've had some injuries. That's the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: way the cookie crumbles. And people are looking desperately for
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: both engagement and to try to find a fall guy,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: because you got to have a fall guy.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: Very important to have a fall guy. So, like, I
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: know what it is.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It's not that these guys just are injury prone or
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: it's just bad luck. It's the substation man. Yeah, that's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the ticket, it's the substantion. Well, good luck here's the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: other problem with this. Now I've pointed out that there's
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: some things that have been done over the year, peer
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: reviewed studies that have said that this.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Is not true.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: However, even if you think there is something there, Even
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: if there is something, don't you believe that the Niners
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: would be better off bearing it? Like Jimmy hoff if
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you know who that is back in the day, this
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: would be Pandora's box by the bay Let's workshop.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: This right, what's in the box? What do you think
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: this means?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: So if the Niners came out and said, you know what,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the players were right. The players were absolutely right. And
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: these gamma rays, that the what you might call it's
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: coming from the do hickey and it's causing these injuries.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: So you open that box up and you have billboard
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: lawyers circling like seagulls when you drop a French fry
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: at the beach, right, they will be everywhere there is
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: There is no there there, And if there is a
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: there there, you can't admit it because then then you've
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: got some issues like that. Not the gamma ray thing,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: not the Tampa Bay ray thing. It's just it's bad luck.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: It's a violent sport. And then but you can put
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the X Files music on if you want. If you're
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: into the X files, you know that'll show back in
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the day you put that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: On, all right?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Now, last word to fill out Alfia, we go where
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are having no luck getting an offensive coordinator
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: despite winning a Super Bowl a couple of years ago
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: and being a consistent playoff team. We are told the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Eagles have interviewed now former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Naggi,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: who was let go by Andy Reid for the offensive
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: coordinator vacancy in Philadelphia. Now Naggy exploring any kind of
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a job he can get, as Andy Reid's replaced him
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: with Eric b Enemy and the job that he was
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in line to get. The assumption was he was going
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to get the Tennessee Titans job. And then they talked
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: to Robert Salah, talked the socks off the front office,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and so Sala's now the coach, and so Naggi's scrambling
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to find a job. This comes amid reports recently claiming
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that Philadelphia has a problem that coach Nick Siriani is
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: having legitimate issues. When Howie Roseman filling the Eagles offensive
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: coordinator vacancy. Now, the reporting claimed it's an unappealing job
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: to candidate due to the intense pressure of coaching in Philadelphia.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: So I'd like to address that the question do you
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: buy or sell? Do you buy or sell the Eagles
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator job being unattractive? Right, is not attractive at all, unappealing,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: whatever word you want to use. So this is to me,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it's not a coaching search. It's a game of who's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: left at this particular point. So I am buying the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: fact that the job is unattractive. Think of it like
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Quasimodo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. That being said,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I do not buy the pressure part of it. I
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: think that is a load of hot poo poo is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: what I think. Don't give me the Philadelphia is a
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: hard place to coach garbage. If you're a coach, it
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Like the Mallard diagnoses, I believe the reason
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are having problems getting that job filled it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the JH factor. What is the JH factor? It's Jalen Hurts. Yes,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: he's a two hundred and fifty five million dollar quarterback.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: He's also the platypuss in the room.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Is what he is.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts for all the good things that he does,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like the tushy push, the leadership, the quotes. It's like
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: back in the day you used to have these calendars
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: with motivational quotes.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: He's liked that.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is the conductor of the Eagles offense, but
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: he's the conductor who cannot read the music sheet. He
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: only knows a few notes. He's really good at those notes,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: but he only knows a few notes. He's the star
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: of the Philly Pops. However, he cannot hit the high notes.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. You want a deep ball, it's a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: It's a total eclipse, lunar eclipse, rare dark and leaves
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: everyone staring at the sky wondering where the light went.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: And then you've got Nick Sirianni, the.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Rock paper scissors guy who's presiding over the three ring
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: circus in Philadelphia, and the tents on fire.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: There's no water. It's organizational instability.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: It's not because of the pressure though, it's this is
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a Sirianni special where you change coordinators. You got to
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: have someone to blame. You always blame the offensive coordinator.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: They changed coordinators in Philadelphia, as we talked about when
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Jalen hurts at the end of the Eagles season, they
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: got rid.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Of the offensive winners.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Like they change coordinators more than a lot of us
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: change socks. And you're not an offensive coordinator in Philadelphia.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: You're a human shield. So the coach can blame someone
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and the quarterback can blame someone when they fail at
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: their job.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: And it's like, do you really want to pilot.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: A plane when the engines are sputtering and there's no
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: mechanic to fix it and the pilot is busy there
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: arguing with the flight attendant and you're the assistant pilot
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: and you're like, what's going on?
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: You're the co pilot And so.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the other thing, you're gonna get good money, so
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: you take the job. It's attempt job, so you don't
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: want to really lock in. You gotta rent, maybe do
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: a Verbo or something like that Airbnb it buy a
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: place because you're not going to be there that long.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: And then you take the bag of money and you
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: move on down the yellow brick road somewhere else and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: get another coaching job down the line.
• 32:08

• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Cooelo, a Steelers insider, gave his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: future Tuesday, saying he believes there's a forty percent chance
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: he retires, thirty five percent chance he plays for the Vikings,
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: and a twenty five percent shot that he's back with
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: the Steelers.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Ben, what do you think about those odds?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: No, he's not going back to the Steelers. I think
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: that door has closed with Tomlin being out there.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I think there's a forty percent chance he does podcast
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: with Joe Rogan. There's a thirty percent chance he plays.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know the Colts they need a quarterback that
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: it seems like Daniel Jones gonna be out for a while.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: What about Kansas City?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: If Mahomes isn't ready to go at the beginning of
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: the year, there's options.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: If he wants to play, someone will give him a job.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna retire though, he just wants
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: to keep playing. Next.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: With Miami losing to Indiana, Carson Beck now turns his
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: attention to preparing for the NFL Draft, Ben, what do
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: you think Beck's NFL future will be?
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: He has a chance to be on a practice squad
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. I don't think. It didn't look like
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: a great NFL player to me. I wasn't impressed.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Next, it was supported earlier this week that the Knicks
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: have discussed a Karl Anthony Towns trade with the Grizzlies,
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: Magic and Hornets, among others. Ben, do you think the
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: Knicks move Towns before the deadline?
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Well? They should.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I know, they beat the Knicks, or the Knicks beat
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the Nets by like fifty something points in.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: A blowout and all that. But Carl, every time I
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: watched Carl Any Towns, I'm.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Like, boy, this guy just he annoys people. He does
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: things that cause you to lose when even if you're
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: a good player.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: He's a really good player. He's just there's something a
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: little off with Carl Anthony. Tech.

• 38:08
  Speaker 1: you gotta do the smell and the you gotta do
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the smell and the eyeball test, because that's just a
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: guestimation those expiration dates. Sometimes food expires before the expiration date,

  Speaker 1: and sometimes.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: It's way after.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: She's gotta like smell it and eyeball it. But she's
• 38:23

• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I'll eat stuff way after it just smell it.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: If it smells bad, if you see mold on it, obviously,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: don't eat it.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I did eat. Oh this is bad though. Oh yeah,
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: I should tell I should get us on the podcast.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: But we had some Hawaiian rolls that were laying around,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: you know, and they looked fine through the little plastic thing,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and so I grabbed one and ate it and there
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: was covered in mold digusting.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know about you, guys.
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: My dad used to keep like blocks of cheddar cheese
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: in the fridge and as they molded, he would just
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: continually cut the mold off and serve us the cheese underneath.
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: There are some foods that you can do that with,
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: and then there's others that you can't because.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Like the the mold will go through the whole thing
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: or it sticks to it. You have to like look
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: it up.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: But I'm like you, Ben, I will you just gotta
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: you gotta smell, you gotta look at it and make
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: the determination from there because it you know, like you
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: buy the oor wheat loaves of bread, those last way
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: past the date that they have on there.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And there's ways you can bring food back.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Put it in the microwave for a little bit, or
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: air fryer or whatever. It'll come back to life. Yeah,

  Speaker 9: be the one I should go pet because I don't
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: want him because he only got three legs. I went
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: up to go pet him and they tried to bite
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: me and I never tried to pet another dog again.
