• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Alabama fans are panicking after a disastrous news conference from
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: coach Kaitlin de Boor in factions of the base calling
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: for John Gruden to replace him on the sidelines. How
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: much credence do you give this story about the Crimson Tide?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Also in the NFL Tight End, TJ. Hockinson recently compared
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy says he's a lot like Matthew Stafford,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a little like Kirk Cousins and does all that sound
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to you? And the Chicago Bears being completely left off
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the NFL's top one hundred player list is a big
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: talking point. Are you surprised? We'll go there as well?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Here it is our number two The Bama Wamma Welcome
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the being of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We are in the air eyware blathering into the abyss
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is well, we try to cook up some awesome sauce.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We'll see if we can do that or not. Coast
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to coast, border the border and beyond on the mast
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and earic catchingly powerful microphones of fs are ammunating live
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: from the seat as we are back seat driving from
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Anthony in Anaheim, who used to call the show but
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: now he sold out for these redded day shifts. Bad
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: job by him. This portion of the show made possible
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: which our buddy Fried Daddy likes a lot back by
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: tire installation. Just Josh shines off on that tire iraq
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: dot com the way tire buying should be. So we'll
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: get back to the spicy conversation about Micah Parsons and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: all that. But or leave this out from TUSCA loose
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we go where the news of the day takes us
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and coaches say the darnedess things Department. Coaches say the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Darness Things Department update. So the embattled in battled collegiate
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: football coach Klin de Boor is under siege after the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: latest misstep. So if you didn't hear about this, Perhaps
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I think we have some audio were gonna play. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Kaylen de Boor, who came to Alabama from Washington, he
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: attempted to address the pathetic Crimson Tide performance over the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: weekend you sought against the seminoles of Florida State and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was asked what the hell happened because he had claimed
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a week prior he gave the standard coaching cliche that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: they had a really good week of practice at Alabama,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and that's generally a dad giveaway that you're gonna play
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: well in the game. When the coach says we had
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a really good week of practice, that is usually an
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: indication the coach believes the team is prepared for the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: game and they're going to play well. So a reporter
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: dared bring that up, and Kaitlin de Boor, well, he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was surprised, tike A.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Lis, you mentioned the great week before the game. Just
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: how much do you self scout the preparation before games
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and other times as a coach where maybe you noticed
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: during the week that things might not be going the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: way that you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Want them to. You said, what do you mean, great week?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: A great week? He said, A great week of preparation
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: for this week. You're saying sorry for going.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Up to the without a florist. Say, before that game,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I said that, you said that, Yeah, oh yeah, okay,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: all right. I was like, oh boy, that's a that's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a tough listen. All right. So and that led gets
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: even better. So that has led to now they've moved
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on from Nick Saban already coming back to Alabama. So
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: now they've positioned former NFL coach the greatness of the Raiders,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: John Gruden. Yeah, so let us discuss the question Alabama
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: fans panicking panic at the disco after a disastrous back
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and forth there kaylend Bor And that's just a little sample.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: There are other weird moments there, and there are factions
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of the Bama booster base calling for John Gruden to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: replace Kaylin de Boor on the sidelines at that sec power.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: How much credence do you give the possibility of any
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of that happening. So I have carrot cake kettering, Banjo Society,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and burger king and we will combine all of these
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make your Babushka's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: favorite twice baked potato, not one time twice baked potato. Yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: as approved by sports with Coleman so number. So the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: way I look at this, the amount of credence I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: give this is gigabytes bandwidth. That's what I give this.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Here Internet chatter, chata chata chatter. So let's start with
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the body language of Kailin de Boor. Now, I realize
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: if you're like blind Scott or blind em It or
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: any of the legion of the Blind Wing of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Maltham Militia, you cannot see this Inka terror. Here's the deal,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Kayland bor his body language on this. It looked like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we were watching a man who got caught shoplifting some
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: peanuts from a pigley wiggly. I said, did I do that?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I don't. I said, that really okay? And so I
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: love a good meltdown. I love an entitled fan base
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that melts down. And Alabama's an entitled fan base. They've
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: had years and years of Nick Saban, great success and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all that, and you got this Kalin the Boor guy
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: who's from the Midwest, but he's perceived as a West
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Coast guy because he coached in Seattle at Washington and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And it's just great. And so now
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they want John Gruden to ride in like a night
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in shining armor to save the day. Of course they do.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: John Gruden like the shiny toy. It's been sitting on
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Southeastern Conference shelf for a decade, just waiting for
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: an opportunity, right, waiting. Of course, he did have the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Raider job, and then that went away because of the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: email thing. It's like football fried chicken. If you will,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it's greasy, it's probably bad for you. And man, does
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it smell good? Boy? Does that smell good? And you're desperate,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you need something, you go for it? Why not? And
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: let's not forget through the math on this. Kalin Debor's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: buyout is north of sixty million. We talked about this
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: in a previous episode of the show. So if you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: do the math on that, they not only got to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: pay him that money, but it's one hundred and twenty
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: million dollar pyramid because you have to pay sixty plus
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: million to Debor, and then whoever is the next coach
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: is hopefully not going to be a Bore or a Dbore,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to pay that coach another sixty
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: plus million. So it's over one hundred and twenty million
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: dollar pyramid, and Bama has a game show network problem,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like they're trying to get out of one show that's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that's no one's watching, and now they got to pay
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: for the next show, but they can't. It's like wheel
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of Fortune and then it meets deal or no deal
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is essentially what we've got here. So this is what
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Alabama fans don't get, is that you can't just pass
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: around the collection plate on Sunday Service and say all right,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: everyone put a couple of bucks in there, and then
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: we got one hundred and twenty million, boom done. That's it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You need again, a high falutin nice southern gentleman an
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: oil baron is what you need with really really deep
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Alabama roots, you know, just goes back generations and deep
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: pockets and all of that. Because right now, and again
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not there, I'm just observing from thirty thousand feet,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and from thirty thousand feet it's like, hey, this guy
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is Kaylin de Boor. He's into that warm fuzzy stuff.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: We don't do warm fuzzy, all right. He's got that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: hacuona matada. He's got that vibe right, sunshine and lollipops
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff and don't worry, we'll get him
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: next week. And no, they want rage yuh. They want
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: someone bench, they want someone to lose their scholarship more
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: than one person. They want a table flip. They want
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban smashing a headset, throwing it down, very cantankerous
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Nick Sabe. That's what they want. So they're not buying
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: what Klin the Boar is selling at this point. That
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: made that clear. He's essentially shown up to the tailgate.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They're having a barbecue tailgate in Tuscaloosa, and he's the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: guy that said, Hey, I got some good carrot cake
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: at the tailgate barbecue. So if you want some carrot cake,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I've got that. I'm serving that. And well, no, Kaitlin,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we don't want that. We want barbecue ribs. We'd like
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: some corn bread, maybe some mac and cheese, some sweet tea.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: That's what we would like. We don't want the carrot cake.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: We don't. I'm sorry we don't, but I make really
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: good carrot cake. We don't want that, and I just
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I can't. I love the part of the people melting
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: down like a toddler at a grocery stores. I've already
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: mentioned Pigley Wiggy, how about a wind Dixie? Had a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: wind Dixie? And then they're on the floor and they're crying,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I want my cereal, I want my Coco puffs. Now
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you can't have your cocoa. Ba Well, I want Captain Crutch.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You can't have Captain Crutch.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Gruden is a long shot, but not a no shot.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: John Grud is a long shot, not a no shot.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: If they really want him, Alabama could get him. They could.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Gruden's suing the NFL, and unless they work out some
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: kind of backroom deal and Cruden gets an NFL coaching
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: job and ends the lawsuit, that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So if Alabama really really wants, they can get what
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: their heart desires here. But there is again very tricky
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: math on this, and some serious boosters with massive egos
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: have to get involved to make this work. And until
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: then the moaning and groaning will not stop. And that's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Alabama football right now. You better win, and if you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: stub your toe again and lose again, holy crap. At
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: least look angry, give the illusion of anger, make it
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: seem like this really bothers you. Because Kilyn de Bor
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: he's got the body language will be fine. No no
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: no no no no no no. All right, Now we
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: go to the NFL to Minnesota, talk last hour about
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers and Micah Parsons. Now we have
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: equal time in broadcasting. We going down of Minnesota where
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: tight End TJ. Hockinson continues to fill up the content
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: machine as we pull apart cannibalize a recent interview that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Hockinson did. The tight end recently compared Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy. Yes,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the guy that hasn't started a regular season NFL game,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: compared JJ McCarthy to who he said, He's a lot
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: like Matthew Stafford and a little like Kirk Cousins. And
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: those are quarterbacks Hockinson has played with in his career,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: with the Lions and the Vikings. So how does that
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: sound to you? How does that send you? So I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: know that on the internet the Viking cheerleaders and mister
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Irrigation's my advice here. He's a big fan of the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Viking cheerleaders. There. They've gone viral for some very emasculating
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: reasons recently, the Viking cheerleaders. But it's nice that TJ.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Hockinson is supporting the cheerleaders because it sounds to me
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: like he's got some purple pom poms for JJ McCarthy,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and it's that's my quarterback. That's my quarterback, and that
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: is what these guys do. This is one of my
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: issues with all these comps. And you're doing old man radio.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Let me explain. All right, I'm gonna make my elevator pitch.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I want to see if you agree or disagree with
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: me on this because it's been a pet peeve of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: mine for years. This has been a pet peeve of mine.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So these guys live in the bubble of optimism. They
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: do bubble of optimism. It's the halo effect. And what
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I mean by that is that the player, the young player,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: spins nice throw in practice, has one really good skill,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and suddenly it's if Joe Montana and Tom Brady had
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a love child, if the science worked out like that,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this would be the quarterback. They never ever compare these
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: guys to stiffs, like, no one's ever saying if Hawkins
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: said had come out. I think JJ McCarthy's kind of
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: reminds me of Christian ponder. Why would you even ponder?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Passing right? And they never say, hey, that guy reminds
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: me of Tavaris Jackson, that you know, great Viking quarterback.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Remember I remember I was doing this job when he
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was there. Oh he sucked. And because that would actually
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: be honest, you don't do honest, you don't. It's like
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: every time there's a new band and he's, oh, that's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the next Beatles. They used to say that all the time.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Not so much anymore because Beatles are long in the past,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: but they used to, Oh, that's the next Beatles. And
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: then you'd listen and you'd be like, well, you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that's more like smash Mouth. It's a cover band for
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: smash Mouth. And they're playing at the Kettering Banjo Society gig.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: They're warming up and opening up and the only one
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in the crowd is justin in Cincinnati. That's it. That's all.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And so Stafford is a Super Bowl champ, whether you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: like it or not. He's a Hall of Famer, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is the Scrooge McDuck Hall of Famer, as
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he is swimming in piles and piles of guaranteed money.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: He's finagled so much money out of these NFL owners,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and you've got McCarthy, who has not thrown a real
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: pass in a real game in the NFL yet, and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: so many people are so horny to find a franchise
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: quarterback in Minnesota. They're treating McCarthy like he's the second Coming,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the Messiah, the Great Savior. And for now I have
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: this file as clear clear optimism bias. I do again.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You take one thing and you say, well, that's pretty
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: polished there, and then maybe he's got some leadership and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: suddenly he's stafford or cousins and all that. But in reality,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in Realityville, and I am the mayor of Realityville, he's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: far more likely to end up the next Jake Locker,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: remember him. Yeah, it's the it's kind of like the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: movie trailers where they get on the you're eating your
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: popcorn if you still go to the movies, and the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: movie trailer comes on and they say the best film
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: since Shaw Shank Redemption. You're, oh, man, that's that was
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a good movie, and uh and he's all, that's all
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta see that. And you know, darn Tuton, you
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: know darn Tutin that it's going to be a straight
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to Netflix stinker is is what it's going to be.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Starring Adam Sandler and all of his celebrity friends wearing wigs.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: That's what it's going to be, right, And you wait,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: wake me up and I'll be here. I mean, I'll
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: be sleeping during the day, but wake me up during
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the day. Let me know when McCarthy actually does something
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of note, as Eddie used to say in the NFL,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Until then, the comps are Viking fan fiction. Will this
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: be the weekend he goes out there as a great
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: opening act as the Viking quarterback in his first game
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: after a red shirt injury season. Now fine, point to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the propaganda department of the NFL. We go quick, right now,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: we'll go click. We're gonna go quick. So the propagated
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: department of the NFL outrage, outrage, fallout, outrage, fallout. Lucky
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Tony not happy, and other Chicago Bear fans like Yaphomian
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Tree in Chicago and Phase. They're not happy because follow
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: up to the top one hundred list made by Terry
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: in England actually made by NFL players. So five teams
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: got blank nothing, the Colts, the Titans, the Panthers, the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Saints and Dumb Bears. Now Chicago being completely left off.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: The NFL's top one hundred player list. That is the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: big talking point. How could they do that? The Bears?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: They won the offseason last year. I don't understand. Are
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you surprised? Are you surprised the Bears did not end
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: up with one player on the list. So this thing
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: is the annual fast food menu of a football filler,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: because you're really just trying to fill time and you
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: come up with a list. I don't need to go
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: through my rant why people are because a lizard brain
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: are preconditioned to answer and respond to a list. But
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that aside the Bears. If you consider this a fast
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: food menu of football greatness. The Chicago Bears pulled up
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to the drive through at Burger King and they got
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a truth whopper that is two slices of bread and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you wish you had some meat on your roster, which
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: kind of like a wish sandwich. But they got an
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: empty bag, they got what's in the back, They got nothing, right,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: not even a packet of ketchup and a napkin and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: some salt. They didn't even get that. Zero for the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears on the top one hundred of the NFL. Now,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: we are not surprised and the reason we're not surprised
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is because we're very cynical and we know the naked truth.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: The naked truth is you are what your record says
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you are. And the Chicago Bears played seventeen games and
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: lost twelve of them last season. Where I come from
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: in the old country, that blows, and that is a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: soggy French fry. Nobody I know wants a soggy French fry.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: They don't want that. They want a fresh hot, a
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: little crisp to the fry. That's what they want. And
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: this is all opinion based anyway, And so that's the point.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: It's opinion based, and it's based on last season and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the production of last season, not the preseason hype machine.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And who would you even put on for Chicago. I
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: was saying about that, I was making my long drive
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in here from the north Woods. It's like, well, Caleb Williams,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that was the number one overall pick and he put
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: up mostly empty cat real football people know he was
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: very good last year. Caleb Williams. The stat sheet the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: equivalent of eating a whole bag of dorito, and yet
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you're still hungry when you finish the bag of Dorito's.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: You don't quite understand why because it looked like a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: big bag of Dorito's, but you still you're hungry. That's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: watching Kidler Wims. He was the twenty fourth ranked quarterback
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. And that's that's not very good. That's
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: not very good. And the harsh reality is the Chicago Bears.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: They're not the Jags, but they kind of are. They
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: got a lot of just a guy type players on
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that particular team. And the NFL has seven hundred and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: forty or seven hundred and four the math, so it's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: thirty two teams, eleven starters on offense and defense. So
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the math works out to seven hundred and four starters
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: if you count every position, but don't count the special
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: teams don't count especially sure, Chicago's got a lot of
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Italian sausage filler. There's a lot of Italian sausage filler.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, if you build it, he will come.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I love sausage, by the way, If you build it,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the accolades will start coming in. That's the way. This
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: word's not that complicated, it's not that hard. It's just sport.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: You know that the Bears have the pen in their hand,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and they have the new coach, Ben Johnson. Show me
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you're Johnson. They can rewrite the menu, right, rewrite the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: menu and all that stuff, But until then, the Bears
• 20:16

  Speaker 5: division in football, with all four teams finishing the season
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: with a plus forty or better point differential. Ben, do

  Speaker 5: you think they will be the best division again this season?

  Speaker 2: No?

  Speaker 1: I do not. I'm gonna go with the AFC North.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: You've got Cincinnati's gonna be better here, and unlike popular
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is going to be slightly better than what
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: they've had at quarterback. You still have the Ravens in
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that division.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Now.

• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the orange step child. But no, because the Lions are
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be a little worse. The Vikings will be a

  Speaker 5: So next, An MLB insider said this week that quote,
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: spending even one second arguing that Kyle Schwarber deserves MVP
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: over Otani is a massive waste of time.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Ben, Is he right? No, it's not, And I like Otani.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: He's likely gonna win the MVP. But Sworber is much
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: better offensively than Otani this year. All right, So let's
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: be called like and Otani hasn't been that great as
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: a pitcher, So I mean, what are we doing next, Brooklyn?

• 39:17

  Speaker 5: What do you think?
• 39:23

• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I believe I'm the tooth fairy coople loop, then I'm
• 39:27

• 39:37
  Speaker 1: cop More cookies coming, more cookies. That's the win. I
