• 1:59
  Speaker 1: They all say, hey, what about Express? I said, calm down.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Calm down, boys. Or else Jonathan in Delaware is going

  Speaker 1: and get to work. So our lead story this hour
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: from Philadelphia. We go there to the Delaware Valley. The
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Eagles falling down to 500. They lost again. Philly drops
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to 2-2. They blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead, double-digit lead
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: at home. And they lose 24-20. The Rams. You can
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Ram it all day. You can Ram it all night.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So the Rams get in the win column. So if
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you did not see any of this, perhaps not. There
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: was some drama. As Philadelphia's offense absolutely cratered like the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon. They managed 172 yards, three yards per play.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Not very good. The Eagles had 12 plays on third down.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: 12 chances to get the line to gain on third down.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: How many third downs did they get? Not one. Zippo! Zero!
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: The Eagles went 0 for 12 on third down. We
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: are told that is the worst... Performance in franchise history. Holy,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: holy Donovan Mitchell, Batman. Where have you gone? 0 for 12.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Worst in franchise history. They were shut out in the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: second half, which I'm told is not good. I'm told
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that's not good. Devontae Smith was unavailable. Saquon Barkley left.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: The running back left injured in this game. Now, a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: lot of the heat in Philly is directed at Nick
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Sirianni and also the new offensive coordinator, Sean Mannion. Some
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: critics already calling for Sirianni or Mannion or both to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: be fired. That enough is enough is enough is enough
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is enough. We must make a change. So that is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You make the call. Nick Sirianni, the coach, is getting
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the lion's share of the heat. Why does Jalen Hurts
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: continually escape the criticism normally, normally, that is reserved for
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback? Yes, well, it's not his fault. It's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the coach. It's the offensive coordinator. So I've got on
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: this one the family station wagon, Wombat, and Surgeon General's warning.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we are going to make a splish. Splash is what
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to do. A little splish to the splash
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to the splish to the splash. That's how we're going
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to do it. So to lead off here, the word
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for this is, it answers why Jalen Hurts does not
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: get more of the blame. It is bizarre. Oh, it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: so bizarre. You're yelling at Nick Sirianni. And listen, Nick
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Sirianni is not on my big board of good coaches. However,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni is there. And Jalen Hurts, he's got his fingerprints,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: his DNA, his footprints all over the crime scene for Philadelphia.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: That Ram team did not have their top two defensive players.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald didn't play. Miles Garrett didn't play. and yet
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you got shut out in the second half by the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: B squad of the Rams. That is an indictment of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: your starting quarterback, in addition to your coaching staff. But
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: let's focus on the starting quarterback. Nick Sirianni may have
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: drawn the map. He drew up the X's and O's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on the map, and so did his offensive coordinator. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, he drove the family station wagon right into
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the Delaware River. Right there.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: See you later. I'm out of here. And Jalen Hurts
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: was awful. Not average. Not mediocre. He was awful. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that's his way. He's a $ 255 million quarterback. That's his contract.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: $ 255 million. And he went out there and was 12
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of 27 passing for 93 yards. 93 yards on 27
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: pass attempts. In the second half, Jalen Hurts completed two
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: more passes than you and I completed. He was 2
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of 9 passing. for 10 yards. I had to fact-check that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I thought that was wrong. It wasn't. The Eagles had
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: 10 passing yards from Jalen Hurts in the second half,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and yet it's like, well, it's Nick Sirianni's fault. How
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts take some accountability? How about that? If
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he threw every second half pass, just on the second half,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: if Jalen Hurts got every snap and just threw every
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: pass into the ground, right into the turf there at
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the link... statistically he would have had a slightly better
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: passer rating than he ended up with. Who goofed? I've
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: got to know. The Eagles offense spent the second half.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: They operated like a restaurant after the health department changed
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the locks. There was not a lot going on. Still
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: not a lot going on there. The Eagles offense spent
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the second half operating in the dark. And if Patrick
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Mahomes or Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen go out there
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and have 93 passing yards.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And a half of football. They are getting roasted like
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a marshmallow. And I don't get that sense here. This
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is not what's going on with Jalen Hurts. This wasn't
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Hurts so good. This was Hurts so bad is what
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it was. So Jalen Hurts, not the coach. He's like
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the main villain here. In the collapse, though. He really
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is the main villain in the collapse. He's actually out there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: He was the one playing in the game. Yeah, so
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's just the way it is. Anyway, I guess we
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: have some audio here, so we'll play it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: We have it. Here is Nick Sirianni. Asked about his
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Sean Mannion. And do you think Nick Sirianni
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: says we should fire him? He doesn't know what he's doing.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: That's option A. B, I stand by my guy. Or C,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: no comment. Let's find out.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I got a ton of confidence in Sean. Oh, okay, B, B, B, B, B, B, B.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: He's going to wear a lot of this, there's no doubt.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I'm going to wear a lot of this. Our offense is.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Going to wear a lot of this.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: How does that fit? You win together, you lose together.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I have no complaints on what happened there today. And
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: there's opportunity for us all to grow.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Grow, yes. Every team that loses grows. Oh, they grow.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So great. Well, he did go to sportscliché. com, Nick Sirianni.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: On that one, and to think you lost to the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Ram backup guys. Like, you got shut out in the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: second half by the Ram B squad, not the A squad.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The Rams put up 415 yards of offense against the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Eagles defense, and you had less than 200. Who goofed?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I've got to know. I keep going back to that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: because I don't know what else to say. All right, meanwhile,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: let's go to the L.A. side. And we had, well,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: not really in the game itself. We had a brouhaha
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in the final moments of this game. A real brouhaha
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: after LA scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the game.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Eagle fans and the Ram coaches got into a rhubarb
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in a heated confrontation from the coach's box, which is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in the press box. Did you see any of this?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: No?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Did you hear about this? You did not? Okay.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So we're not exactly sure who started it. A Bird fan,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: an Angry Birds fan, recorded much of the incident. He
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: claimed that it was the Rams. They started it. The
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Ram coaches banged on the window and flipped off Eagle fans,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: provoking retaliation from the harmless, sweet spirits from Philadelphia. So
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: we don't know who exactly started it. The video had.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: picked up once this thing already began. Middle fingers were
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: in the air everywhere. You get a bird, you get
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a bird, bird, bird, bird, bird is the word, bird
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is the word, you get a bird, the whole thing.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So the confrontation escalated to the point where some bird
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: brain eagle fan said, threw a giant cup of, I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: don't know, it didn't look like beer. He wouldn't throw beer,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: but like a soda or something, chucked it at the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Rams coach's box. It hit the window, and then security
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: came in there and said, hey, wait a minute. You
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: can't do that. What's wrong with you? All right, so
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the question, thumbs up or thumbs down? Thumbs up, thumbs
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: down on Ram coaches giving Philadelphia fans the double bird
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: curtain call following their dramatic comeback win In the Delaware Valley.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to go thumbs up on this. I'm
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: going thumbs up on this. Definitely thumbs up. Giving Philadelphia
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: fans the double bird curtain call is wonderful. I guarantee
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you those fans that got the bird from the Ram
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: coaches are smiling. They couldn't sleep. They're so excited. They're like,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: oh my God, we annoyed these guys so much. These
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Ram coaches that gave us the bird. How great is that?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You talk about a badge of honor. You talk about
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: chess candy as an Eagle fan, a Neanderthal Eagle fan,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to get that kind of support? Come on now. Please.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And it was an authentic ending. So you'd say that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's an authentic ending. It was very emotional. Very emotional game.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And it was authentic. And isn't that what we want?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: We always come up, we want authenticity. You got an
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: authentic reaction. And there it was right there. You got
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: an authentic reaction. from the Rams coaches and the Eagles
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and their fans and all that stuff. There was a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: lot of emotion there. And I'd rather have that than
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: some buttoned up insurance salesman. Give me that raw emotion.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: This is the football version. Like think about from the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Eagles perspective, their fan base. So I'm pretty confident that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: they were not just sitting on their hands the entire
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: game and that they were taking part in jabbing at
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the Rams coaches box and And so it's like the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: football version of poking the wombat at the Philadelphia Zoo,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: if they have one, and then spending three hours getting
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: raw feces thrown at you. The Rams coaches, what are
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: they supposed to, are the Rams coaches supposed to just
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: endure the Philadelphia abuse all day and that's it? And
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: then what were they supposed to send them? After they
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: won the game, send them an edible arrangements? Is that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: what the Rams coaches were supposed to do? I don't
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: think so. So what exactly did you expect to happen?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I thought it was hilarious. I thought it was great. Now,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: they were in a glass case, the press box, the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: coach's box. There's glass in front of it. And so
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it's one of those deals. It's kind of like, well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you get into a dust-up and you've got all this
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: body armor on. Okay, they had protection. They did have
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: protection and all that. And so the coaches will likely
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: receive a sternly written letter from the league office saying,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Saying you should not be doing that. Control your anger.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? And, of course, when did the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia fans become the etiquette police? It's like they're at
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Wimbledon and they're the etiquette police. When did that happen?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: So the coaches will get some letter. They'll be saying
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't do that. Can't do that again. There you go.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But I like the fire. Keep the fire. Keep the passion.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: All right. Meanwhile, last thing. We go to Lost Wages, Nevada.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I was very disappointed. I thought I'd have a lot
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of those Raider dudes who were like, hey, Maller, you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: were right, Maller. You were correct. I'm waiting for that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: It hasn't happened yet. Let me click refresh here. Let
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: me see if there are any Raider guys. I mean,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: they were very confident, very arrogant that that team was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: ready to go. And my God, yeah, no, it didn't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: really work out. Yeah, they played their first real NFL game,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the Raiders, and they lost. That's what happens.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: So the story here, first year Raiders coach Clint Kubiak
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: boldly predicted at halftime that the Raiders are going to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: win the game. The Raiders were leading at halftime. He
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: told the sideline woman, whatever her name is for CBS,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: we're winning. We're going to win the game. There you go.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And he said that. And then they had to play
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the second half. It didn't go so well. The prediction
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: went kerfooey! It backfired. Kansas City ended up beating the Raiders.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: A 30-27 win. Kansas City was up by double digits
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter. The Raiders get knocked into the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: losers column, something they'll learn a lot about as the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: year goes on. Now, asked afterwards whether or not he
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: regretted making such a bold decree at halftime, And Kubiak said, simply,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that's how I felt. Close quote. All right, so the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: question on this one, did Coach Clint Kubiak's Raiders prove
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: something by going toe-to-toe and eye-to-eye with Kansas City? So
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I have two words. Two words. Hell no!
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: The Raiders, they are who we thought they were. If
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you want to crown them, crown their asses. They are.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: The Raiders didn't prove anything other than the fact that
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the schedule had been lying. As we told you, you
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: didn't want to listen. The schedule had been lying. And
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you fell for it. You fell for the ruse. I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: tried to warn you. You would not listen. I tried
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to help you. I said, don't fall for it. Don't
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: do it. I know you're an old dude, but don't
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: fall for it. It's okay. Yeah. So they are exactly
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: we thought they were, the Raiders. And that's it. They're
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: schedule merchants. They feasted on some cream puffs early in
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the year. Good for them. Congratulations. You enjoyed your little
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: cream puffs. You got a little pink box to go.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Way to go. 3-0 record. And that 3-0 record should
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: come with a Surgeon General's warning. When you look at
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the schedule there. The opponents the Raiders played the first
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: three weeks. You know what their combined record is at
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: this point? Now the Saints play on Monday night. The
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: combined record of the three opponents the Raiders played.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: 1-10.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: That is a highway in Southern California. It's the 91, 091.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: That is the combined record of the Dolphins, Chargers, and Saints.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: We can make that a little worse if Atlanta does
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: win on Monday Night Football. Now, that's it. All right.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: We had– I didn't have any problem. We had no
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: problem with Clint Kubiak, the bravado some people were upset about.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I get– you get the coach, you get to say, what,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you're going to lose the game? What's he supposed to say? Hey,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Tracy Wolfson, yeah, we're hoping that we can cover the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: spread and have a respectable loss here. We can have
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a nice euthanasia situation down the stretch. That seems good. Okay, fine.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Why not? So congratulations, Vegas. Way to go. You went
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: toe-to-toe with a legitimate NFL opponent, the Chiefs, and you
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: were right there right up until the time the Chiefs
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: reminded you they were the Chiefs. And it didn't go
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: so well. Kansas City showed up, and the Raiders, suddenly,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the Raiders, they weren't picking up the neighborhood kids anymore.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: It's a shame that the Raiders' opponent, the Chiefs, did
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: not roll over and play dead like the Chargers and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Saints and all that stuff. So
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: there you go. Down the stretch. Games are won in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. The Raiders got... Outplayed, outclassed in Clutch Time.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Clutch Time was not their friend. If we look at
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the way the game played, I believe they turned the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: ball over to the Raiders. Two of their final three possessions,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: which I don't think is good. I don't think that's good.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Back to reality for the Raiders.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like to

• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of the Day. Let's go to the phones. And this
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be a golden ticket, but he was
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: not ready. He was driving, so he, I guess, sat
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in his car. And let's say hello to Thomas, who
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: is in Minneapolis. Hello, Thomas. You're on the Ben Maller Show. Welcome, Thomas.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Hello, Ben.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: Am I in the air everywhere?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: You are blasting out to the heavens.
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: Okay, well, I just want to say, my Minnesota Vikings,
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: I put my money where my mouth is, and I
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: said we go 13-4, and we are going to drop
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: our quarterback. And Wentz is going to be a starting
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: quarterback going into the playoffs.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: So you have it all mapped out? Have you seen
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the script here? Have you checked that out?
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, when I called in a couple years ago,
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: not on your show, but another nationwide show, I told
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: him Sander Arnold was going to be an All-Pro and
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: he was going to make the Pro Bowl. He was
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: going to make the Pro Bowl. And they ripped at
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: me like a couple years ago.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Well, that did not end well. Your Sam Darnold prediction
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: did not end well there at the end there.
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: Well, Sam Darnold left, and he won a Super Bowl.
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: I know. He's doing okay.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: He didn't do it in Minnesota, though. He had one
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: of the worst playoff games against the Rams. Remember that
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: game in Arizona because there was a fire in L.A.?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: It was a mess, yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the game in Arizona with the fires and everything. Yeah,
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: but Sam Darnold, you know what he's working? He's making
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: it okay, and he has Super Bowl. Vikings don't.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I've heard the Vikings. They've been there a bunch, but
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: not in a while.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: All four.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: All four.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: My buddy's yelling, all in four. We've been all in four.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: We weren't even alive when they played them.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: That's true. That doesn't count. If it didn't happen in
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: your lifetime, it doesn't really count.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: 98 and alive.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: But the Vikings' best player on the team is the kicker.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: That's not a good thing. I wouldn't brag about that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I would not celebrate that you have a good kicker.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: All right, listen, Thomas, you and your pal have a
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: good kicker. What?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: What? Give me two seconds.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: We won two games so far out of four without
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: even scoring a touchdown.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I know. The Baltimore Ravens did that the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: same time they won the Super.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Bowl with Ray Lewis.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm sure there's a bunch of teams that
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: did that and didn't win the Super Bowl, but I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: got you. All right, thank you. The great Thomas and friend,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: sidekick there. In Minneapolis. That's a double your pleasure, double
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: your fun situation. Let's go to James, who's in Tacoma.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: And James is up next. It is the Ben Maller
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Show on Fox. Hello, James. Welcome.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: One funny football story that happened this weekend.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Was Colorado State.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: They decide while the game is still going on, they're
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: going to fire their defensive coordinator. They can't wait to
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: answer the game. They got to do it now, right
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: before halftime.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I saw that. That's Jim Mora, the old NFL coach
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: that did that. His dad, Jim Mora Sr., who's in
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: his 90s, but Jim Mora dismissed during the game. That's
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: like something out of a movie. That's like something out
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: of a movie you'd see, right? In real life, that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: usually doesn't happen. You wait until after the game to
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: do that, not during the game. Jim Mora's got a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: bit of a temper. His old man, pretty cool, pretty mellow,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: but the former Falcons and Seahawks coach, not Not so much.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: They literally whacked. They were getting smoked by, what, Oregon State, right?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that Oregon State up there?
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Oregon State, yeah.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: The Beavers. It's always embarrassing when you lose to the Beavers.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: That's not good, you know.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Right. One last thing for you.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: It's Saturday.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Both Dodger Stadium and USC football game time, the temperature
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: was 100 degrees.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Now, I realize TV's important, but there's a.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Heat advisor a couple days in advance.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: They move the game time to like 11 o'clock in
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: the morning.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, I guess they could do anything they want, but
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: they want to have everyone there. And they just gave
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: them water and said, try to stay out of the sun.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: It was like 107 or somewhere I was. It was
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: real hot this weekend where we are. People were saying
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: baseball should have flipped the Brewers... the Brewers-Padres game and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers game, but they're very rigid, these people. When
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: they set the schedule, they do not want to adjust
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the schedule. That's our schedule, and that's all we're going
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: to do. Let's go to Big Ace, who's next in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, living the good life. Hello, Big Ace. Welcome.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hello, Benny. How you doing?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be an Eagle, but
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: not a Philadelphia Eagle.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I got a little problem with that, Ben.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your problem, Big Ace?
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, Big Ace is going to tell you. Let me
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: ask you, which team do you root for in the NFL?
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I just started listening to your show, so I don't know,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: but I do enjoy it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: All right, well, I appreciate you. What's your team? I
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: root on whoever I bet for, whoever I bet on. Oh,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I agree. Me too. Okay, good. Now, the team of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: my youth was the Rams, but I'm a grown-up, and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: so I can look at things objectively.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm going to tell you this. I grew
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: up with Nick Sirianni. I know his family. Listen, let
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: me finish. They're wonderful people. They're great people. Listen, his record,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: first of all, he's won a Super Bowl. Do you
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: realize how bad the Buffalo Bills would kill for a
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl? He's won a Super Bowl in five years.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And his record in the last five years since becoming
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the head coach of the Eagles is It's like one
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: of the highest percentages in the NFL.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: So you're yelling at me, but I said it's on
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. I said, listen, people are upset with your guy,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: your buddy there, you say, Nick Sirianni. Yeah, they're upset.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: They're upset with him, but I'm saying it's on Jalen Hurts.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: He's not getting it done. That's my point. So don't
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: be upset with me. Be upset with him.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Well, you know.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What? He needs some deodorant, man. He's stunk.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: He's stunk.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: You can't blame him.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Now, listen, I agree. But you can't blame Nick is
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: all I'm saying.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Well, he will get blamed. You know how this works.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: You know what it's like there.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I agree with you 100%. He's going to get blamed.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: It's like, holy shit. Like, I'm from Buffalo originally. We
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: would kill.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Please watch your language.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: That's one of those words we should be able to say.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, honey, and I like her, too.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Okay. My name's Lorena. All right. Are you retired or
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: what are you? You live in Florida now? No, no.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I just beat float cancer.

• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Who the hell are you talking to, son? Here's some
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: instant advice. Hold that thought. No one's paid attention to
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: me for 10 whole seconds. And if you don't like it,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: screw you. And away we go. It's the Insta Advice
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Line on screen radio. The safety net is off. Here
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: we go. Who needs our advice? We activated the Malheur
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Think Tank. And after a minutes-long review of the games
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: in the NFL this weekend, we have determined the team
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that needs it the most, the Philadelphia Eagles. E-A-G-L-E-S. Suck, suck, suck.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Eagles lost two games this past week. They had the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: worst third down performance in franchise history. 0 of 12
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: on third down. Just 172 yards of offense against an
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Eagle team, or against a Ram team rather, missing their
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: top two defensive players. Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett did
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: not play in that game. So what is your advice
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: to Jalen Hurts, who averaged less than three and a
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: half yards per pass attempt, had just 93 yards. He's
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: a $ 255 million contract quarterback. $ 255 million man. 93 yards.
