• 0:11
  Speaker 1: on this Thursday, the 24th day of September, are we
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: really buying commanders coach Dan Quinn's cleanup job on injured Ben?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels being abandoned, abandoned by his teammates in a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: viral clip. Also, wide receiver George Pickens says that he's, quote, happy,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: close quote, despite being an afterthought in the Cowboys' 20-26 offense.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: How believable is this? And did Lamar Jackson poke the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Cowboys before his Ravens played them in Brazil? We'll talk
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: about all that and more right now. Have a wonderful Thursday.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And here we go. It's hour number four. The commander
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of the walk-by.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: What? Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere, playing
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: around as we bake up a storm. I won't make
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: some glory. We didn't get the memo. We did not
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get the memo. Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we're not circumcising a mosquito on the vast and dapperly
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the phone, the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: megaphone of the yappity-yap guaranteed human hanging out here at

  Speaker 1: the world-famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. Where the legends like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Andrew in Bakersfield and Kevin in Florida. Haven't heard from
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Kevin in a while. Me and his son shared the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: same birthday. These guys all know, along with Queen Roxanne
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and Listener Rich there from the BJ's in Boston. He's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a butcher. They all know that it's all about express.

  Speaker 1: Get support, get options, and get to work. Now, Tom
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: from Fullerton and Outback John and Joanna. They reached out,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and I think it was Outback John. It might have
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: been Joanna. And they said, hey, listen, we don't want
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to blow into a trumpet, but we'd like to hear
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: about DraftKings. I said, okay, the wait is over. Football
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is here. And so is DraftKings. DraftKings is now live
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in all 50 states. One app, every sport, all 50 states.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Right now, use the promo code MALLER to claim your
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code MALLER. At DraftKings,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the crown is yours. We do have some football tonight.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We had Benny versus the Penny that so far has
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: not sent you to the poorhouse, hasn't sent you to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the poorhouse. That was earlier. And we'll have the eight
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: featured games, eight featured games on Benny versus the Penny
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: back on radio. And it feels so good. Not for
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: my bank account. But that will be coming up later
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: on in tomorrow's edition of the show. But our lead,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: don't bury the lead, my man. We're not going to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: bury the lead. Calm down. Don't be a baby. Our
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: lead from inside the Beltway, our nation's capital, unless you're
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: listening in Canada or Mexico or some other country. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a short viral video from the Commanders-Cowboys game, which turned
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: out to be a route or root in the second half.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And it was the play of the day for Washington
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: for all the wrong reasons. That play where it all
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: went sideways for Jaden Daniels. And it showed this clip,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: for those of you that are blind, like Inca Terror
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and Stevie Meatballs and the rest. So it showed Washington
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: players walking past jayden daniels as the medical people were
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: treating his elbow which went snap crackle pop and this
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: led to many people being convinced that jayden daniels is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not very popular with the washington football team and it
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: was rather obvious when you look at the video that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: his teammates abandoned him as some are saying so what
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: do you think the commander said about this Dan Quinn,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: what do you think he said? Do you think he, A, said, listen,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the players should have done better. It's a bad job
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: by them. They'll do better next time. B, did he
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: say no comment? Or C, did he act like a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: lunatic and pretty much just claim everyone's got lying eyes? Well,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: let's go to the audio tape. Here's Dan Quinn asked
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: about the viral video of the Washington football players, the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: other guys, not going over to check on Jaden Daniels.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Check it out.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up because it's just the opposite.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: In fact, these guys were absolutely gutted. When the half
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: is over, the referee even came and said, Dan, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: can't delay the half. And they can't stay on the field.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And they were like, no, I'm staying. So it's just
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the opposite, in fact. They were gutted. They loved this guy.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And so halftime was hard. It was emotional in that space.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But I'm glad they actually brought it up. And so
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: coming back out, Marcus was in the front of it. Hey,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: let's get going. And we had a drive to get
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: started right away. But it was definitely difficult, for sure.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: All right, so the quote there, the money quote, is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: obviously absolutely gutted. What you heard right there is someone
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: who will be starring in an upcoming remake of Pinocchio.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: My God. So Quinn explained, as you heard there, that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Daniels was injured the final play of the first half,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and the players had to leave for the locker room
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: because those are the NFL rules. And he insisted, with
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the soundbite that we played and other soundbites, he insisted
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that that clip misrepresented... the Washington players' concern and their
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: emotional reaction to the injury. They were verklempt. So that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Are we really buying what we just heard? Commander's coach
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, that cleanup job on an injured quarterback, Jaden Daniels,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: being abandoned by his teammates. So I've got Walmart curbside pickup,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Cheesecake Factory, and Papercutt. And we'll combine all of these
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: things together. And we are going to enjoy a smorgasbord
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of the gabagool. We're going to have a little matzo
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: ball soup. We'll have the baba ganoush. And for Ben
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Jamin in Louisiana, New Orleans, some jambalaya. Got to go
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: down and see Ben Jamin. We'll do some kind of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: event there in New Orleans at some point. Now, first
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of all, To answer the question, are we really buying
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Commanders Coach Dan Quinn's cleanup job? Well, obviously not. Welcome
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to Jaden Daniels' walk-by-gate. Walk-by-gate. It is the hottest attraction
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and really the only thing compelling about the Washington football team.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The quarterback goes down and everyone keeps moving. So Dan
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Quinn says this is all because of the NFL rules.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: The players couldn't stay on the field. I'm giving that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: some serious side eye here. In fact, I'm giving it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: some stank eye. The video does not lie. Come on.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Your franchise quarterback is lying there hurt, and you can't
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: hang around for 30 seconds? That's going to violate the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: NFL bylaws? NFL players, I've seen it over the years.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Whether they love the quarterback or they don't love the quarterback,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they are hardwired. to at least offer, even if they
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: don't like the quarterback, they will give you performative empathy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Performative empathy is what they will give you for a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: quarterback because they know that's what you're supposed to do.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And you juxtapose what the Washington players did with how
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the Giants and the Bears players rallied around Jackson Dart
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and even Caleb Williams, who clearly embellished his injury. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it's clear something... funny is going on here and the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: commanders their coach their dan quinn claiming they were devastated
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: yeah he used the term absolutely gutted like a like
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a fish being gutted and it just doesn't line up
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: apparently they were they were gutted at a brisk walking
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: pace towards the locker room and nothing says hey we've
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: got to stand by our franchise quarterback quite like treating
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: him like it's Walmart curbside pickup. Somebody come pick this up.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Come on. The video may not tell the whole story.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: It doesn't tell the whole story. But it certainly tells
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: a very awkward chapter, is what it tells. When your
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: coach has to desperately.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Explain away the optics, when you're a head coach of
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: an NFL team and you have to explain the optics
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: on why it doesn't look like what it looks like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: haven't you already lost?
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Seriously.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Washington can insist, wow, we love Jaden Daniels. Great. Is
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it a long-distance relationship? Is that what it is? All right, secondly,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: we go to Dallas, where Cowboys. How about them Cowboys?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Wide receiver George Pickens is off to a very slow start. Very,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: very slow start. He's on airplane mode. He's caught nine
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: passes for just six. 68 total yards. Has a couple
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of drops. He's got the dropsies in two games. Now,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the timing is the issue as he's run out of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: juice here in these first two games. Things are going
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a little wonky. They're going a little wonky. Pickens, every game,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: is playing for a new contract. Every game, right? He
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: posted 93 catches, 1,400 yards, and nine touchdowns last season,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: thanks to the injury to C.D. Lamb, who's getting his numbers.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Pickens insisting, though, that he is happy. Happy, happy, happy.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Happy days, as long as Dallas wins. So I guess
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: he wasn't happy when they lost to the Giants in
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: week one. He pointed out, this is the part that's interesting.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So George Pickens pointed to his blocking and his, quote,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: whole game beyond statistics. Things that don't show up in
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the box score.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: So, Coach Brian Schottenheimer, Schottie, the sock puppet coach, middle
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: manager of the Dallas Cowboys. Do you think that he
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: criticized Pickens for not making more plays, helping the Cowboys
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: win both games? They only won one. Do you think
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he said Pickens is fine?
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Or no comment. Well, he pretty much said he's fine.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: He defended him, citing defensive attention and important catches in
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: key situations.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Bullcrap.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: So the question wide receiver George Beckham says he's, quote,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: happy despite being an afterthought, a non-playable character for most
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of the Cowboys offensive plays. How believable is this? So
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: by George, George is happy. I'm sure he's very happy.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys are happy. Everyone's happy. Zippity-doo-dah, zippity-day. Except, perhaps,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the people in charge of getting George Pickens a new contract.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: So this is not really complicated.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: It's not.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Production creates leverage, and leverage creates money. And am I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: wrong in saying that a receiver gets paid to receive?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: And I think it's right there in the job title.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think you have to go to express pros
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and read the fine print. I think it's like right
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: there on the job title. Like George Pickens is saying, Hey,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy blocking. I love block. Wonderful. Mazel tov. Unfortunately,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I just checked. I looked over at Pro Football Reference,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the website there, and it doesn't have a category for EB,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: enthusiastic blocking. There's nothing there. This is like a waiter
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: at the Cheesecake Factory saying, forget how many tables I served.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Did you notice how beautifully I stacked those napkins? Those
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: effing napkins were stacked perfectly. Yeah, but you were supposed
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to worry about the tables and serving the tables. No, no, no.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't give him the bread. I didn't give him
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the bread.
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: No, no, no.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I just really did a good job stacking the napkins.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So Piggins apparently wants us to grade the invisible portion
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of the resume. First time this ever popped up in
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: my world, there was a basketball coach named Del Harris,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a journeyman coach. He was coaching the Lakers, who were
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: not very good at the time. And Del... was trying
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to explain a player on the Lakers who wasn't very good,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: who everyone knew wasn't very good, and he said, he
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: does things that don't show up in the box score.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And we said, what? What exactly doesn't show up in
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the box score? And the funniest thing about that, I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was actually talking to a buddy of mine, was texting
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine the other day about this, that
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that has changed now, where they've added so many Fugazi stats,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: there's literally a stat for almost everything. The funniest is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: when they give grades on offensive linemen like they know
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: what they were supposed to do on that play. They
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: have no clue what they're doing, the people grading. It's
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: pretty funny. But anyway, so Pickens, it's invisible what he's doing,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: but just trust me, bro. Unfortunately, NFL executives own reading glasses,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm pretty confident the marketplace rewards measurable value. Now,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: what is measurable value? Things like catches. and yards, things
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like that, touchdowns. And every quiet Sunday, every quiet Sunday
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is another few million dollars floating peacefully down the Trinity River.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And George, he wants credit for blocking. Great. Then you'll
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: get paid. If you just want credit for blocking, then
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you'll get paid like a right guard. Right guards get paid.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: They block. That's all they do. They block. So congratulations.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: You will be paid like a right guard. All right,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: final thought to Baltimore. Great balls of fire. Where Ravens
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: quarterback Lamar Jackson was asked by my guy, my longtime
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: radio comrade, Sports with Coleman, about the Cowboys being called
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: America's team tonight. ahead of their week three matchup there
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: in Brazil, in Rio. And so Lamar responded. He said, well,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: this is America. That's Brazil, because they're playing the game
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: in Brazil. Now, you'd say, OK, fine. Yet, through the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: magic of the multiverse and the Matrix, can you believe
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: there were some cowboy backers annoyed by that response, that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it was seen as disrespectful by Lamar Jackson to make
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that statement? This is America. That's Brazil. All right, so
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the question, did Lamar Jackson poke the Cowboys before they
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: play the Ravens, his Ravens, in Brazil here in Week 3?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So this is a YGBJ situation. You've got to be joking.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: This is right in that basket, and the basket says
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Manufactured Outrage. With the Cowboys star slapped on the side.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Manufactured outrage. What did Lamar Jackson actually say? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I will give my guy, Sports with Coleman, credit. Because
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: he came off like a complete schmuck in an A-hole
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: with cayenne pepper. The way he phrased the question to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. That was pretty good. That's a solid answer.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: question a leading question a solid question Lamar's answer though
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: was like Hellman's mayonnaise or it just that was it
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't trash talk it was just merely geography
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: like he didn't poke the Cowboys Lamar didn't poke the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Cowboys he poked a hole in the marketing department if
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: anything and for the handful of people calling that bulletin
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: board material that's going to inspire the Cowboys to win
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the game yeah Everyone play nice in the sandbox. Everyone
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: play nice. Yeah. For those people, though, it's like calling
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a paper cut open heart surgery. Oh, my God. I
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: had this terrible operation. I had to put a bandage
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: on my finger. I got a little paper cut. Oh,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: my God. So this was not some kind of shot
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: across the bow. It was a Nerf dart, if anything.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: It was a Nerf dart. And the Cowboy fans, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: have a theory on this. It's the same with the Raiders.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I've been dealing with this bull crap with the Raider fans.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: They just have no clue what they're doing, which is
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: hilarious to me. The Cowboy fans, the same way. Like,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Cowboy fans hear disrespect because they've been trained to hear disrespect.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And if what Lamar did gets under your skin, you've
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: got industrial strength sensitivity. Bad job by you. Look, Lamar
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: was born. Do you believe Lamar Jackson was born two
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: years after Dallas last reached the Super Bowl? He was
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: minus two. He hadn't even born yet when the Cowboys
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: last were relevant. So to him, the Cowboys dynasty and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: America's team, that's just something they teach in AP American history.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: If they taught about sports, that would be that. it
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: is pretty funny i love the overreaction the overreaction and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: uh it's great you know and it's again a product
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of the state run prob the news service for all
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: these teams the raiders is a great example um like
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: they beat two bad teams and it they think they're
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the greatest thing ever that's how pathetic the franchise is
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: at this point i feel bad for the raider fans
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: i do like Have some pride. Now, if they go
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: out and beat some good teams, I'll be the first
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: person behind these microphones to say, that's great. Go out
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and beat Kansas City. Go out and beat the Rams,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: teams like that. That's impressive. What they've done, not impressive,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: but they can't hear that because they only want state-sponsored
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: rah-rah guys. They have their own radio station, which is
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like radio propaganda, like 24 hours a day. It's pretty wild.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: All right, here's the Ben Maller Show, if you would
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: like to be part. You can chime in, 877-99 on Fox.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: That's 877-996-6369. The Giants, that's a football team. You can
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: also chime in on X at Ben Maller, if you
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: would like. The Giants got a lot of trash-talking Giant fans,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and they all got quiet at the same time. They all,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Maybe somebody got hurt. I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: don't know. But the same exact moment, suddenly all that trash-talking,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: all that bravado, that machismo went away. Have we done
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a wellness check on the moving man? Is he okay?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: All right, well... There is one name that has been mentioned,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: one name that has been mentioned more than any other
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: name as an outside-the-building replacement to be the QB number
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: one for the Giants. Number one. Who is that name?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Do you know the name that's been mentioned? Like a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: legitimate name. People throw Kaepernick out because it gets clickbait.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: He hasn't played in 10 years. He's a race hustler.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: There's no room for him in the NFL right now.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: He's too busy making money creating divides in society. So
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you need to find someone who could actually join the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: team there, the Giants, and there's a name. Who is
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the name? We'll get to that, and we will do
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: it next.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: get anywhere else.
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: on how football really works.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: have to replace them.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio. As we
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: work our way through these early morning hours, we have
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: our machete out. We are swashbuckling our way. Having a
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: grand old time. And a reminder, this is an interactive experience.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: It is live.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: We'll do it live.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And you can be part of the fun here. How
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: do you do that? Well, reach out to us. Say hello.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Schmooze the whole thing. And you can call in, 877-99-ON-FOX.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Also on X, at Ben Maller. We talked about the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Washington football team. Used to be called the Redskins back
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in the day. And they're doing their thing, their nonsense there.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Racist.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: With the ranting and raving. No, no. What you saw
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: looked like every Washington player walked away from Jaden Daniels.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But it's not what it looks like. We had to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: follow the rules. And God forbid, they could not have
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: delayed halftime one minute. Not one minute. Yeah, right.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: Bullcrap.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Anyway, 877-99 on Fox, on X, at Ben Maller. That's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: at Ben Maller. You can also be part of the show.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: With Lorena, she's here as well, FSR Tech Queen. Yes,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I am. And Koopaloop at a Bronco fan. That's a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Bronco fan. Your comments can and will be used against
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you in the Court of Sports Radio. So we don't
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: do shout-outs. This is not a morning zoo show, as
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you know. We don't get paid like a morning show,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: so we don't do morning show bits, unfortunately. So we
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: cannot thank Analog Owl. for hooking us up with a
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. Cannot do it. You probably wish we could,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Analog Al, but we're just not able to. I hope
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you understand. And so I wish we could. I wish
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: we could. And I certainly can't mention the possibility that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: there may or may not be some more Little Debbie
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: stuff coming from our friend in Providence. I can't say that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I can't. Because there's some rumors on the interweb. There's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: some rumors out there that it's possible, possible, that there
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: might be some goodies. I don't jinx it. I don't
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: want to put anything on it, but there have been
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: some whispers out there in Radioland that that may happen.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what little Debbie stuff there is, but
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: we have gotten a few things. A couple things here
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and there, right? So it has happened, so we'll see
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: what happens with that. But we used to get a
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Well, Lorena gets... She's even not getting
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: as much stuff. You've asked for less stuff. Is that correct, Lorena?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: You've asked for less stuff? Yes, yes, I did. Okay,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I want more stuff, so I'm asking for more stuff.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I've requested more stuff, so that's my position. People are
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: judging my boxes all the time. Yeah, that is true.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I would get many messages there about, hey, Lorena got
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: another package. There's another thing near the door. I get
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: those things, but we'll see. We'll see what happens. But anyway,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: so some exciting things happening here. very exciting things, unless
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. All right, let's take some calls here. Oh,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I did want to mention this. So the Jackson dart injury,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: he's expected to miss the rest of the regular season.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: The knee ligaments looking like shredded pork. So there's that.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: And they need a quarterback. Now, Jameis Winston is going
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to get the first opportunity. He did not impress any man, woman,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: or child with his performance in the hood in Inglewood.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: On Monday night. And so they got to go out
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and get somebody. And one of the names that has
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: been mentioned is a retired quarterback. Name, not Colin Kaepernick.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Derek Carr. His name has been floated. Carr
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: is 35. He retired just before last NFL season, the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: 2025 season. 11 years of mediocre football for the Raiders.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: He's responsible in many ways for the Raider franchise, the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: once proud Raider franchise, leaving... Oakland to go to Vegas.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: If Carr had been good and actually won a Super Bowl,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: they would have gotten those wackadoodle politicians to give over
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: some of the taxpayer money and they could have built
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a stadium in the Bay Area and the Raiders would
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: have stayed in Oakland. That obviously didn't happen. And so
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: as a result, the Raiders end up moving to Vegas.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: They get all that gambling money and Derek Carr's name
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: floated around. He responded to a social media post featuring
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a mocked up image of him. in that Giants uniform, joking,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: beautiful picture, but I'm too busy trying to find a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: level 40 crew to join, he said. So it's an
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: indication he has no intention of leaving his cozy retirement.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: You have to think the Giants reached out to him.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Every washed-up quarterback that's retired in recent years, you've got
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to think they reached out to all these guys. Don't
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: you think that's common sense would say they reached out?
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I think so. I believe they have. So we'll see
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: if any of them return the calls and how that goes.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And we will take a call now. Coming up later
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this hour, we have a popular game show that we'll
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: do here. We'll tell you more about that in a minute.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Dick in Dayton. You got the Dickster. Hello, Dick. Welcome, Dick.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: Morning, Ben and crew. How are you?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Red, but
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: not a Cincinnati Red.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I might be a Bengal, though, right? The Bengals are
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: doing all right.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the Bengals. But no, it's really, I'm telling you,
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: the phone lines were lit up this week. They have
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: to make a.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: Because it's pitiful. It's just pitiful what they did. You know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: a team of Pete Rose.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And Barry Larkin.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: It's just sad, Ben. But I wanted to tell you
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: the latest, buddy.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, we got an update. We have a Dick in
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Dayton update. Go ahead, Dick. What do we got?
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: My buddy stopped by a day from Dayton and surprised me.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: And he took me to Bucky's.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, my.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Stop it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: You have been. Now, I've been to that location. I
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: was there with my team there. We had Robbie the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Mariner fan and Queen Roxanne. And was this a game-changing experience?
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Was this an amazing experience for you?
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah. And it was so... And I'd never seen so
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: many gas stations, and it was crowded. And I had
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: to sort of stop a minute. Boy, it's a lot
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: of walking there. But they got some really good merchandise there.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: So they bought me a little bit of stuff. I
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: think I got Ohio State and a Dolly Parton shirt.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: They had a Dolly Parton shirt there? Is that right?
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was real nice.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: I want to congratulate the Guardians. I think the Guardians
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: have a lot of, you know, people are real excited.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: I think they can, if they win, I'm not sure.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: I think they go to the playoffs.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's neck and neck. Yeah, they have in
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the White Sox. There's only a few games to go here.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Are you nervous? Are you concerned? No, not at all.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: Then last week I was surprised. I know I was
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: out a little bit, but I saw the table and
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: I came to the game and I saw it raining. Boy,
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: that rained and where they played was pretty bad, wasn't it?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a mess. Did you have a sandwich
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: when you went to Buc-ee's? Let's go back to Buc-ee's.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Did you have the barbecue sandwich? You did not. They
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: got good barbecue. It's not that far from where you live, right?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It's in Dayton. A little north of you, right? A
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: little north of Dayton.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: About 20 minutes, 24 minutes, 25 minutes.
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: That's not that bad. That's closer for you. Well, that's awesome, Dick.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I wish I had been there, but next time. Next
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: time I'm back to visit you. And you and Ohio
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Al have to get together again and do some stuff.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard from him.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: Really? Has he called in? Has he called in?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Well, he's usually not able to call in, but I'll
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: reach out to Ohio Al. I'll see if we can
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: get you guys hooked up there. All right.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: I'm taking the Browns to win Sunday, maybe by three points.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're going to take down the Carolina Panthers, huh?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: How about that? All right. We'll see if that happens.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: I've got to go.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Dick.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: Bye-bye.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: Bye-bye.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Bye-bye.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: There's a Dick and Dick. Where he goes. Only he knows.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's say hello to No Job Junior. No
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Job Jr., who's back again. Hello, Jr.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: What's crack-a-lacking, Benny Radio? What's going down?
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: Get a life, you know, get a real job.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Are you going to give us some more propaganda from
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest?
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: Well, look, you were talking about something last hour. You
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: were talking about that dude, Vladdy Jr., right?
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: Talking about the side of his mouth and all that. Well, look,
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: Mariners got a worse issue with the player. I'm talking
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: about Cal Riley. He ain't the big dumper. He's a
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: big whimper. You know what I'm saying? He tried to
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: call out Randy or Rosa Reina for his like hustle.
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: I mean, this guy must have lost his mind. You
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: know what I'm saying? The local media just is all
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: the way up his backside. You know what I'm saying?
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: Talk about he's paddling.
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: He's a good leader.
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: Man, he look like he, like always, he look like
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: he want to break down and cry, like.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: All the time.
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: You know, he ain't no leader. He's a wet rag, man.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Are you calling for Cal Raleigh to be traded? Are
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you making a phone call that in the prime of
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: his career?
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: Straight up. Straight up. Cal for Vladdy right now.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I like that Cal Raleigh waited until the Mariners were
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: pretty much toast, and then he started hitting home runs.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: For the first four months of the season, he didn't
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: do anything.
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: Like I said, he's a wet rag. Also, I want
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: to talk about... You were talking about the Harbaughs who
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: are being watched. Man, all the Harbaughs are watched. The
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: best Harbaugh is Jay Harbaugh, who's a special team.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I wonder why. Why would that be? Oh, that's right.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: He's coaching with the Seahawks. So he's okay.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: I've seen Jameson Winston playing on Monday. I thought this
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: boy was retired doing Netflix baseball. You know what I'm saying?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I know, yeah. Now he was at the World Cup.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: He was at opening day for the Giants and the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Yankees doing bits on TV. And he played no job, Junior,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: like a guy who does cheesy television, didn't he? He
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: played like a guy that had been doing some goofball
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: TV bits. That's how you'd expect him to play.
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: In the TV, you know? He just needs to bring
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: out the crab legs and put it all out there.
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying?
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I hear you.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: I hear you.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: All right. Very good.
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: I want to give a shout-out real quick to the
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: 2027 starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Steelers, Drew Luck. Enigma?
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: Never heard of him. Peace out, Ben.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that will not be happening. But thank you. Thank
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: you for your time. Appreciate that. My goodness. Let's say
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: hello to, who do we have? Mike the Leprechaun is
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: up next in the Commonwealth. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Ben.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: We're preparing for a no Easter here on the weekend.
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: Have you heard?
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I did. I saw they moved the Red Sox game
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to Friday.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: They did.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: They're double-headed. Well, they were supposed to play on Sundays.
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: The Sitco sign, the newly renovated Sitco sign might blow
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: off again. You never know. They've picked it all summer
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: for the playoffs, and hopefully it doesn't blow away.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Well, that would be unfortunate. They might want to batten
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: down the hatches.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Batten down the hatches. All the local voters are taking
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: their boats in so they don't get crushed against the seacoast. Anyway, Ben,
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: what would you like in the mail?
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: I'm tired of you.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You don't have to send me. I'm fine. I just
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: like complaining. It's nice every once in a while somebody
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: will send me something. It's cool. It's a nice thing
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: to do. I used to get prison mail. I don't
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: even get prison mail anymore. I used to get guys
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and boys in prison. They've even stopped sending me mail.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I'm devastated. I don't think Lorena's getting prison mail, though.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think she's getting any of that. And I'm
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: upset with Jed, who fled, who was in jail for
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: a while and didn't send me anything. I know he's out,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: but he didn't send me any mail while he was
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: in jail. That's a bad job by him.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Did you pay his bail?
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: Probably not.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Probably not. Yeah, probably not. Probably not. All right, Mike,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: you can hold on if you want. Let's go to
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Cowboy John Brad in Windsor, Ontario. A fine Canadian lad,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: a legend... who has been calling talk radio since the 1960s,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and he is going to give you Cowboys Corner, a
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: brief Cowboys Corner. Hello, Cowboy John Brad.
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: Hello, Ben and company. Well, 52 years ago today, Al Kaline,
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: the Tigers legend, got his 3,000th hit off the Orioles'
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: Dave McNally. Kaline was in his home city of Baltimore,
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: and the Tigers lost the game 5-4. Excuse me, and
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: John McDonald, who briefly played for the Tigers, was born
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: that day. So that's my 52nd birthday, John McDonald. Raphael Palmero,
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: 62 today. And Lyman Bostock, the angel, died 48 years
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: ago today, being shot in a case of mistaken identity
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: the day before. See, Bruce Springsteen was 77 yesterday. The
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: baseball-playing Jim Morrison was 74 yesterday. And Rocky Marciano won
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: the heavyweight title of 13th round knockout over Jersey Joe
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: Walcott 74 years ago yesterday. And also, I believe I
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: was conceived 74 years ago yesterday, too. No, I showed
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: up five days late. I should have been born today, baby,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: but I was born July.
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: 6th, 53.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: So anyway, have a great day, everybody. Remember, you've got
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: to be a boy to be a cowboy.
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: We'll find you.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I've never heard that. Cowboy's been calling me for
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: 20 years plus, but I've never heard the day I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: was conceived. That's a new one. Okay. That is freaking great.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: That never changed, Cowboy John Brad. That is next level.
