- 1:19Speaker 3: Do it. We'll do it live. We're doing it live
- 1:22Speaker 3: from the chair.
- 1:23Speaker 1: The big chair is one of our old morning guys
- 1:25Speaker 1: used to say back in the day from the world
- 1:26Speaker 1: famous Fox Sports Radio studios. As approved by Ned from
- 1:31Speaker 1: Nebraska and Big Gregor from Nebraska.
- 1:34Speaker 3: They approve that message.
- 1:36Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made
- 1:38Speaker 1: it possible, in part by our friends at tire Iraq.

- 1:54Speaker 1: raq dot Com the way tire mind should be. And
- 1:58Speaker 1: we are back at it again in here to begin
- 2:01Speaker 1: the new night of programming on Fox Sports Radio. Under
- 2:05Speaker 1: the cover of darkness, we are starting up the engine
- 2:09Speaker 1: on the Red Eye flight and our lead. We had
- 2:11Speaker 1: two Monday night football games. We'll start with the late
- 2:14Speaker 1: Monday night game which ended not all that long ago
- 2:17Speaker 1: before we cracked open the powerful microphones here on Fox
- 2:21Speaker 1: Sports Radio. So the lead from the Mile High City
- 2:25Speaker 1: from Denver, that is where the Broncos reeling after losing
- 2:30Speaker 1: to the Colts and the Rams and now taking on
- 2:33Speaker 1: Cincinnati in.
- 2:35Speaker 3: An island game. The island life.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Not a lot of islands in Denver, but they had
- 2:40Speaker 1: an island game. You had Joe Back and Troy Aikman
- 2:44Speaker 1: calling this game, and the reason they were calling this
- 2:45Speaker 1: game because it was the lesser of two evils. The
- 2:48Speaker 1: other game was the winless Dolphins and the winless Jets,
- 2:53Speaker 1: so instead they put the Broncos and the Bengals in
- 2:57Speaker 1: the late TV windows. So I don't know if you
- 2:59Speaker 1: saw this game or not, it wasn't much of a game.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I'll be honest. What you're doing here, Uh, we gotta
- 3:04Speaker 1: sit here in Polish turds. So bow knicks if you
- 3:09Speaker 1: didn't see it, bow knicks looking like he was back
- 3:12Speaker 1: at Oregon, playing some lightweight as the Denver offense, matriculating
- 3:18Speaker 1: the ball up and down the field. After somewhat sluggish beginning,
- 3:22Speaker 1: which lasted about I don't know half the first quarter,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but anyway, bow knicks not one but two touchdowns. He
- 3:29Speaker 1: also ran for another to a tone for his sin
- 3:33Speaker 1: where he threw a end zone interception. That is a
- 3:37Speaker 1: no no, you're not allowed to throw an interception in
- 3:39Speaker 1: the end zone. So the Broncos snapped the two game
- 3:43Speaker 1: el skiddo, and they beat the Bangals. Didn't just beat them,
- 3:48Speaker 1: they sent them back to Siberia with a twenty eight
- 3:52Speaker 1: to three loss. At his back to back belly to
- 3:55Speaker 1: belly blowout losses for the team from Cincinnati Somewhere Cardiac
- 3:59Speaker 1: stand is not very happy right now at his hometown Bengals.
- 4:03Speaker 1: But the better story is in the losing locker room.
- 4:06Speaker 1: So it's always fun to talk about the Bengals because
- 4:08Speaker 1: they're losers.
- 4:10Speaker 3: So it's fun to talk about the Bengals here.
- 4:12Speaker 1: So the question, based on my viewing of this game,
- 4:17Speaker 1: the thing that I noticed, having watched sports my entire life,
- 4:21Speaker 1: and certainly as a long suffering gas bag for many
- 4:26Speaker 1: many years now, I noticed something about Cincinnati here, and
- 4:30Speaker 1: I want to pose the question as we discuss did
- 4:35Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals players quit on Coade Zach Taylor? Let
- 4:41Speaker 1: us discuss the question as we said, did the Bengal
- 4:45Speaker 1: players quit on Zach Taylor? So I've got Chronic New
- 4:49Speaker 1: York Times and Pfizer, and we will combine all of
- 4:53Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some
- 4:58Speaker 1: delicious Mediterranean chicken is what we're going to make. And
- 5:01Speaker 1: the side of rise somewhat healthy. I'm told that's somewhat healthy.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Probably not that healthy, but what the hell?
- 5:06Speaker 3: All right?
- 5:06Speaker 1: So a to answer the question, did the Cincinnati Bengals
- 5:10Speaker 1: quit on coach Zach Taylor.
- 5:12Speaker 3: That is a rhetorical question. I am nodding my head. Yes,
- 5:15Speaker 3: you can't.
- 5:15Speaker 1: See unless you're watching the YouTube feed, which is on
- 5:18Speaker 1: YouTube dot com slash at Benmather Show. You can actually
- 5:22Speaker 1: watch these monologues. Unbelievable. There's all these cameras. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
- 5:28Speaker 1: seven cameras in here for a radio show. Seven cameras
- 5:32Speaker 1: for a radio anyway. All right, So the Bengals flat
- 5:35Speaker 1: out quit on Zach Taylor. No if sands or butts
- 5:39Speaker 1: about it. And every man, woman and child that watched
- 5:42Speaker 1: that game that has any knowledge, even a rudimentary knowledge
- 5:46Speaker 1: of how sports work, would agree with that take.
- 5:49Speaker 3: That's not an outrageous take. They quit on their coach.
- 5:53Speaker 3: They did.
- 5:55Speaker 1: They played like they had a chronic case of I
- 5:58Speaker 1: don't give an F. I'm not allowed to say what
- 6:03Speaker 1: that F stands for. I think you can imagine what
- 6:04Speaker 1: it stands for. This was not just a bad game.
- 6:09Speaker 1: This was now back to back belly to belly coach
- 6:15Speaker 1: killing performances by the Cincinnati football team. Now it's embarrassing
- 6:19Speaker 1: to lose to Carson Wentz and the Viking get blown
- 6:22Speaker 1: out in that game, and then Minnesota the following week,
- 6:26Speaker 1: they go across the Atlantic Ocean and they lose to
- 6:28Speaker 1: a mediocre Pittsburgh team. So they say, okay, normally the
- 6:32Speaker 1: rule is everyone's gonna have a stinker, right, every team's
- 6:36Speaker 1: gonna have a bad game. You can't stack them. You
- 6:39Speaker 1: can't stack them like hotcakes. Cannot do it, cannot do it.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And so you can stick it up, but you can't
- 6:46Speaker 1: do it back to back games there, and that's two Sundays, well,
- 6:49Speaker 1: Sunday and a Monday now in a row. You do that,
- 6:53Speaker 1: you're trying to send a message. And what is the message.
- 6:56Speaker 1: The message is, we are dun Skis with this. He
- 7:01Speaker 1: ain't my coach. The guy's a bad coach, all right now.
- 7:04Speaker 1: If you watch the game, this is this is such
- 7:07Speaker 1: a mismatch. It's like those early season college football games
- 7:11Speaker 1: where their money games and you cut a giant check
- 7:15Speaker 1: to the other team that come be fodder so you
- 7:18Speaker 1: can beat them up. The ben Gals had nine first downs.
- 7:22Speaker 1: An NFL team that possibly practiced all week, that is
- 7:27Speaker 1: paid a lot of money, it's their job, had nine
- 7:30Speaker 1: first downs. They had eight punts, They almost had one
- 7:35Speaker 1: for one punt to first down one hundred and fifty
- 7:39Speaker 1: nine yards. Denver put up twenty nine first downs and
- 7:42Speaker 1: five hundred and twelve yards of offense.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Now that is not football. Okay, that is not football.
- 7:48Speaker 1: That is varsity scrimmaging against not even the JV that's
- 7:54Speaker 1: like varsity versus freshman is what that was. And the
- 7:58Speaker 1: Cincinnati players were lollygagging.
- 8:00Speaker 3: La la la la la la la. That's what it
- 8:01Speaker 3: sounds like when you lagag la la la la la
- 8:03Speaker 3: la la. You're lollygagging.
- 8:06Speaker 1: You're lollygagging around like it was some kind of seven
- 8:09Speaker 1: on seven walk through and OTAs or something like that.
- 8:13Speaker 1: And I see this. I have seen this a lot
- 8:17Speaker 1: in basketball. It's more of a basketball thing than a
- 8:19Speaker 1: football thing. It's the I guess the NBA affication of
- 8:24Speaker 1: the NFL what I saw here. You see this kind
- 8:26Speaker 1: of thing in basketball. I used to when I got
- 8:28Speaker 1: into radio. One of my early jobs, I covered professional basketball,
- 8:32Speaker 1: and I was around some really bad teams and some
- 8:35Speaker 1: teams that did quit on their coach that wanted to
- 8:39Speaker 1: get the coach fired. So I know back then what
- 8:42Speaker 1: it was like, and it's obviously the same thing. It's
- 8:44Speaker 1: just with social media now and you look at it,
- 8:47Speaker 1: it's again something that's usually reserved for basketball, not something
- 8:52Speaker 1: you see in football that much, where guys on purpose
- 8:56Speaker 1: try to get the coach canned. And because of the
- 8:59Speaker 1: fizzy mecality in football, it's not as common a situation.
- 9:04Speaker 1: But when it happens, it's unmistakable. It's absolutely unmistakable. It's
- 9:10Speaker 1: strike three strikes. You got strike one you're lazy, Strike
- 9:13Speaker 1: two your lack passion, and strike three your lack character.
- 9:17Speaker 1: And that's good afternoon, good evening, and good night. And
- 9:20Speaker 1: that appears to be the Cincinnati Bengals. Watch what happens next.
- 9:24Speaker 1: I don't know what the next move is. It's not
- 9:26Speaker 1: about the scheme, it's not about that. In the I
- 9:31Speaker 1: guess that the move would be. And we'll see with
- 9:35Speaker 1: some of the quotes coming out of the Bengals locker
- 9:37Speaker 1: room following the Monday night game. But the generally the
- 9:40Speaker 1: move is publicly, you say one thing privately, you say
- 9:42Speaker 1: something else publicly, you'll say it's on us, it's not
- 9:44Speaker 1: the coach's fault.
- 9:45Speaker 3: You'll give that speech. You'll have a.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Team meeting as lonely and I'm gonna have a team meeting,
- 9:51Speaker 1: players only meeting, and publicly you'll defend Zach Taylor.
- 9:55Speaker 3: That's the move.
- 9:56Speaker 1: You publicly defend Zach Taylor in front of the cameras
- 9:59Speaker 1: and the microphone, and then privately you stick a butcher
- 10:02Speaker 1: knife right in his back, right there, big bloody butcher
- 10:07Speaker 1: knife right.
- 10:08Speaker 3: In the back. There you go.
- 10:10Speaker 1: How's that going? But it's the NFL player's guide to
- 10:15Speaker 1: getting a coach fired. I think that's on page twelve.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And if the Bengals had real ownership that really cared
- 10:23Speaker 1: about winning, which they don't, it's good money. It's a
- 10:26Speaker 1: family a good amount of money you can make. It's
- 10:28Speaker 1: a family business. There in Cincinnati, they had legitimate ownership
- 10:32Speaker 1: that was passionate and cared. Zach Taylor would be left
- 10:35Speaker 1: at the airport in Denver. He would have to take
- 10:38Speaker 1: a Greyhound bus back to Cincinnati. That's not gonna happen
- 10:43Speaker 1: because they don't really care that much. They're more obsessed
- 10:46Speaker 1: with pinching pennies than they are winning football games and
- 10:50Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's a mom and pop shop, that's
- 10:52Speaker 1: how they operate. There's something unique and cute about that
- 10:56Speaker 1: that there's a few family ownership groups left in the
- 10:59Speaker 1: industrial complex of American sport, and they're one of them.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And the family who currently runs the team, Paul Brown's
- 11:07Speaker 1: the owner, but he's not doing everything day to day.
- 11:10Speaker 1: They just happen to get the right DNA and the
- 11:13Speaker 1: right line or they married well and they're running the
- 11:16Speaker 1: franchise and all that stuff. But they've been running this
- 11:20Speaker 1: franchise the same way since the Reagan administration.
- 11:23Speaker 3: It's been a minute.
- 11:24Speaker 1: And there you go, so always out there counting their
- 11:30Speaker 1: dollars and cents and whatnot, and good luck. So Mike
- 11:34Speaker 1: Brown can count more Nichols and that'll go well for
- 11:38Speaker 1: him and the team. The locker room waving the white
- 11:41Speaker 1: flag here for sure. And so the Bengels did not
- 11:44Speaker 1: just lose to den there's no shame and losing and
- 11:49Speaker 1: every weekend half the teams lose in the NFL.
- 11:54Speaker 3: You quit, that's the thing. They quit. They quit.
- 11:58Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos are quitters. On that night, on Monday night,
- 12:03Speaker 1: they quit. That's the story. That's your story. And that
- 12:08Speaker 1: is a coach killing performance. That is a no show
- 12:13Speaker 1: and effort is the one thing. You're not gonna be talented.
- 12:16Speaker 1: You're goin'ta be the most talented, et cetera, et cetera,
- 12:18Speaker 1: et cetera. If you put the work in, that's just
- 12:22Speaker 1: that's the baseline. That's the baseline, all right now.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Page two.
- 12:25Speaker 1: So more on this zombie Island game for the Cincinnati Bengals.
- 12:30Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by it.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Now.
- 12:31Speaker 1: This was a scene right out of our friend Hayes
- 12:34Speaker 1: in Minnesota. It was like a Morgue scene there watching
- 12:38Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals more than a football game. I bring
- 12:40Speaker 1: this up. The whole league is watching these Island games.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Everyone's tuneday in and night in theory anyway, some of
- 12:45Speaker 1: these guys who play football, she hate football, so they're
- 12:48Speaker 1: not watching. But those that actually care about football, that
- 12:50Speaker 1: are playing and coaching, they're watching. Yep, probably at Applebee's somewhere, watching,
- 12:56Speaker 1: eating some appetizers and watching the game. So I this
- 13:00Speaker 1: up because everyone's watching and the Bengals are going through
- 13:04Speaker 1: the motions like the kids in the back of gym class.
- 13:06Speaker 3: I don't want to be there, you know, and we
- 13:08Speaker 3: all know. And so the epitome of this.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Was Jamar Chase, the one hundred and sixty one million
- 13:15Speaker 1: dollar pass catcher for the Bengals, and he lost his mind.
- 13:19Speaker 1: This video went viral. A clip of him getting into
- 13:23Speaker 1: it was Zach Taylor was actually a good thing because
- 13:25Speaker 1: it shows he's passionate.
- 13:27Speaker 3: He knew the camera was on. He did it for
- 13:29Speaker 3: the camera. I'm convinced of that.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Everyone knows, Hey, if your star receiver is going to
- 13:34Speaker 1: confront the coach, there's gonna be seven different camera angles
- 13:37Speaker 1: on it. So he knew exactly what he was doing.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, he knew that would be talked about. Things
- 13:41Speaker 1: were not going well for the Bengals and he confronted
- 13:44Speaker 1: Zach Taylor on camera, yelling at him. So what did
- 13:47Speaker 1: you make the question, what did you make of Jamar
- 13:50Speaker 1: Chase getting into a screaming match, a shouting match with
- 13:54Speaker 1: the Bengals coach as the Cincinnati football team got into
- 13:59Speaker 1: the fetal position and started sucking their thumb. So on
- 14:03Speaker 1: this one, it's actually bad Bunny's cousin, which is bad
- 14:08Speaker 1: body language. That's a second cousin of Bad Bunny. Bad
- 14:11Speaker 1: body language is what this is. And it paid a visit,
- 14:14Speaker 1: which is always part of the crumbling of the walls
- 14:18Speaker 1: of teams that suck Jamar Chase and t Higgins. There
- 14:21Speaker 1: was also a clip that a couple of you idiots
- 14:24Speaker 1: sent me of them sitting on the bench during the game,
- 14:27Speaker 1: sitting there like they were waiting for Femi to deliver
- 14:31Speaker 1: a bag of uber eats, some onion rings, possibly some fries,
- 14:35Speaker 1: but maybe just onion rings and some mazzarella sticks. And
- 14:38Speaker 1: they were just waiting on that, and they had the
- 14:41Speaker 1: slump shoulders and then we all know the bad body
- 14:44Speaker 1: language there, and there is kind of a man They
- 14:46Speaker 1: were doing Matador blocks, oah lay o lay olay, and
- 14:50Speaker 1: they were doing that. They had the kind of like
- 14:53Speaker 1: a half speed jog kind of routine going on there,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and it's the classic gay we're out this coach. We
- 15:00Speaker 1: do not like the coach. We do not want to
- 15:02Speaker 1: be here. I don't like this altitude. I don't like
- 15:05Speaker 1: the whole thing. I'm not happy. And again that's out
- 15:09Speaker 1: of the New York Times bestseller, which is The Idiot's
- 15:13Speaker 1: Guide to Losing. That is on page thirty three if
- 15:16Speaker 1: you check your notes, page thirty three of The Idiot's
- 15:19Speaker 1: Guide to Losing. As we discuss here on Fox Sports Radio,
- 15:23Speaker 1: star players moping on the sidelines, coach staring into space,
- 15:30Speaker 1: wondering why he chose this profession. You've got that check
- 15:34Speaker 1: that box. You get the backup quarterback who's out there
- 15:36Speaker 1: futzing around looking like he won a contest at a Kroger,
- 15:41Speaker 1: a national contest, not just a local contest in Cincinnati.
- 15:44Speaker 1: He won a national contest and he was given the helmet.
- 15:48Speaker 1: We're talking about Jake Browning here, who actually looked somewhat
- 15:51Speaker 1: decently the last time he got some extended playing time
- 15:53Speaker 1: when Joe Burrow got hurt a couple years back, and
- 15:56Speaker 1: now looks like he doesn't know whether a football is
- 15:59Speaker 1: puffed or star.
- 16:00Speaker 3: When he's out there.
- 16:02Speaker 1: And again it looks like he won a raffle at
- 16:06Speaker 1: Paul Brown Stadium or whatever corporate name it has now.
- 16:09Speaker 3: And hey, how would you like to play quarterback for
- 16:11Speaker 3: the Bengals?
- 16:12Speaker 2: All right?
- 16:12Speaker 3: I don't play quarterback for the Bengals. Why not? What
- 16:15Speaker 3: the heck right now?
- 16:17Speaker 1: Don't sell me on losing builds character. I don't want
- 16:20Speaker 1: to hear about losing builds character. But my belief on
- 16:22Speaker 1: losing has been pretty consistent.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Over the years. Losing does not build.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Character, It exposes character. And without Joe Burrow, what are
- 16:31Speaker 1: we seeing from the Bengals here? What are we seeing.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Are we seeing a team that's going next man up,
- 16:35Speaker 1: we gotta unite together, we gotta lock in here, we
- 16:38Speaker 1: gotta lock in and go on the warpath or or
- 16:42Speaker 1: are we seeing a team that is filled with a
- 16:45Speaker 1: bunch of show ponies they're not the Bengals of the
- 16:48Speaker 1: show ponies and front runners, Because that's what it looks
- 16:50Speaker 1: like to me, that's what it's not. Hey, whoever's there,
- 16:53Speaker 1: we're gonna win I with Burrows here or not. It's like, no, no.
- 16:56Speaker 1: The minute Joe Burrow went snap, crackle, pop and his
- 17:00Speaker 1: hole exploded, the whole season went right into the shredder,
- 17:05Speaker 1: right into the shredder. And they know they're cooked. They've
- 17:09Speaker 1: got no fight. They're gutless, they're toothless. That's the bags.
- 17:13Speaker 1: That's what they look like right now. I'm just merely
- 17:15Speaker 1: reacting to what I'm watching. And if they're embarrassed by that,
- 17:18Speaker 1: and they're offended by that, how about you do better?
- 17:20Speaker 1: Play better, don't play like that, don't play gutless football?
- 17:24Speaker 3: All right? Now?
- 17:24Speaker 1: Last word to the Denver side the winning locker room.
- 17:29Speaker 1: So I had a chance to see the Broncos in
- 17:30Speaker 1: person the previous game they played the Chargers a game
- 17:33Speaker 1: they had in the bag, and then they cut a
- 17:36Speaker 1: hole in the bag, and the Chargers came back in
- 17:37Speaker 1: the final part of the fourth quarter and won a
- 17:40Speaker 1: game that the Broncos seemingly were going to win.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Just by executing down the stretch.
- 17:44Speaker 1: They would have won that game, just like the Cincinnati
- 17:46Speaker 1: or the Indianapolis game the week prior, where they screwed
- 17:49Speaker 1: up with special teams and they could have should have
- 17:52Speaker 1: won that game.
- 17:54Speaker 3: So the question is rather simple.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Here are Sean Payton's Broncos now back after they all
- 18:00Speaker 1: axed the Bengals.
- 18:02Speaker 3: On Monday night? Forel are they back? Are they back?
- 18:05Speaker 3: They don't? All right, here's the deal.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I'm sorry about I realized my producers like he's working
- 18:11Speaker 1: for the Bronco pep squad over there.
- 18:13Speaker 3: But here's the deal. Pump the brakes on that.
- 18:16Speaker 1: You cannot get too worked up by the Broncos and
- 18:19Speaker 1: their domination situation.
- 18:21Speaker 3: That's not the story.
- 18:22Speaker 1: You beat up a lightweight, you beat up a team
- 18:24Speaker 1: that didn't want to be there. That is it. This
- 18:27Speaker 1: was not some grand decree. This was not an announcement
- 18:31Speaker 1: by the Broncos. We're back, baby, We're back. This was
- 18:34Speaker 1: not it. It's like sparring with someone who does not
- 18:38Speaker 1: have their their gloves, you know, it's like, okay, you're
- 18:41Speaker 1: spartagains somebody that didn't bring their gloves. Congratulations. This was
- 18:44Speaker 1: a Pfizer booster shot is what it was for the Broncos.
- 18:47Speaker 1: That's all it was. Congratulations. You didn't really cure anything.
- 18:51Speaker 1: It gives you the illusion that you're in better shape
- 18:54Speaker 1: and all that. But bo Nicks threw for three hundred
- 18:56Speaker 1: plus yards is great. A couple of touchdowns, he ran
- 19:00Speaker 1: in for a touchdown. He made up for the interception
- 19:02Speaker 1: in the end zone. So it's got a little more
- 19:04Speaker 1: pep in his step, which is nice and all that stuff.
- 19:07Speaker 1: You need a confidence booster every now and again. But yeah,
- 19:12Speaker 1: you feel good, congratulations on that, but it doesn't really
- 19:17Speaker 1: count for the big picture down the line when you
- 19:20Speaker 1: play better teams. Oh they beat up the They beat
- 19:23Speaker 1: up the Bengals who didn't want to beat it. Oh man,
- 19:25Speaker 1: that's impressive. Begusets I did the math because they had
- 19:29Speaker 1: this opening drive. They came out and they scored early on.
- 19:32Speaker 1: They kicked a field goal. The Bengals had seventy one
- 19:35Speaker 1: yards of offense in the first quarter, the final three
- 19:39Speaker 1: quarters of the game, they had eighty eight yards over
- 19:42Speaker 1: the eighty eight yards the final three quarters of the game,
- 19:48Speaker 1: which is seemingly hard to do. But they managed to
- 19:52Speaker 1: have less than thirty yards on average the final three
- 19:55Speaker 1: quarters of the game.
- 19:55Speaker 3: But they basically tapped out.
- 19:57Speaker 1: As we've said, they tapped out there in the Bronco
- 19:59Speaker 1: defense and listen, god, they locked the doors all that stuff.
- 20:03Speaker 1: But it was more about what the Bengals didn't do.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Didn't play with fight, didn't play just lazy, just floating
- 20:10Speaker 1: on the lazy river there. And so, as the great
- 20:14Speaker 1: comedian Chris Rock taught me years ago, you do not
- 20:16Speaker 1: get extra credit for doing what you're supposed to do.
- 20:18Speaker 1: That was a game the Broncos were favored by over
- 20:21Speaker 1: a touchdown.
- 20:22Speaker 3: They were supposed to win. They did.
- 20:24Speaker 1: So let's not pretend like Sean Payton's now figured out
- 20:27Speaker 1: time travel or something like that. That's not it at all.
- 20:32Speaker 1: So it's not the resurrection of the Denver Broncos.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Now they have a chance.
- 20:38Speaker 1: They played Philadelphia next week, and so I'm assuming Philadelphia
- 20:42Speaker 1: is not going to quit in that game like the
- 20:43Speaker 1: Bengals did. They're actually going to be competitive, be professional,
- 20:46Speaker 1: and not be gutless like the Cincinnati Bengals.
- 20:50Speaker 3: And so the other thing is there's no such thing
- 20:52Speaker 3: as momentum.
- 20:53Speaker 1: So it's not like, oh, the Broncos have all the
- 20:55Speaker 1: momentumn doesn't exist, all right, It's just some crap dumb
- 21:00Speaker 1: people buy into in sports since some sports writer named
- 21:04Speaker 1: Grantlin Rice or whatever cooked up years ago, and it just.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Gets repeated and idiots buy into it.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Here, So we'll see what happens next week when they
- 21:12Speaker 1: play the Eagles, who have been a beatable team. Like
- 21:16Speaker 1: every game, the Eagles have been on the doorstep of
- 21:19Speaker 1: despair and then find a way to pull it out.

- 23:57Speaker 3: Action on a Monday night.
- 23:58Speaker 1: We talked last hour about the no show ben goals,
- 24:02Speaker 1: the toothless Tigers from Cincinnati that did not show up
- 24:05Speaker 1: in Denver, easy win for the team from Colorado and
- 24:09Speaker 1: in South Florida the early game. If you didn't see this,
- 24:14Speaker 1: it was not appointment viewing by any means. You had
- 24:17Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins oh and three against their bitter rivals,
- 24:23Speaker 1: the New York Jets also oh and three Jets the
- 24:27Speaker 1: road team, and how did this game go?
- 24:31Speaker 3: Well? You had Darren Waller. I didn't even know he
- 24:33Speaker 3: was alive. Darren Waller, not Malard Waller, Darren Waller.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Back in the NFL, and he had not one but
- 24:41Speaker 1: two touchdowns. A feel good moment there that was featured
- 24:45Speaker 1: on the broadcast. Darren Waller two touchdown catches in his
- 24:49Speaker 1: first NFL game in nearly two years because he quit
- 24:52Speaker 1: the NFL, So you don't really play NFL games when
- 24:54Speaker 1: you quit. To a tongue of I Looa did not
- 24:57Speaker 1: have a sexy stat line. He had a less than
- 25:00Speaker 1: two hundred yards passing finished with one hundred and seventy
- 25:02Speaker 1: seven yards to lead the Dolphins to the wins game
- 25:05Speaker 1: that really wasn't all that close. The final score was
- 25:07Speaker 1: a six point spread, but the game was in control
- 25:11Speaker 1: by Miami for most of it. Twenty seven to twenty
- 25:14Speaker 1: one was the final.
- 25:16Speaker 3: Miami now one in three.
- 25:18Speaker 1: However, they did lose their franchise wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Snap crackle pop to Tyreek Hill as he is down
- 25:27Speaker 1: for the count. There a season ending injury. Early reports
- 25:30Speaker 1: dislocated me. He's in a hospital right now. More on
- 25:33Speaker 1: that in a minute. The better story, though, is in
- 25:37Speaker 1: the losing locker room as the New York Jets. They
- 25:41Speaker 1: are one of three teams in the NFL that have
- 25:43Speaker 1: not won a game, You've got the Saints, the Titans,
- 25:46Speaker 1: and the Jets.
- 25:47Speaker 3: That's it.
- 25:48Speaker 1: That's all. Those are the only teams that have not
- 25:52Speaker 1: won a game. Now, Justin Fields.
- 25:54Speaker 3: The in battled Q be number one for the Jets.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Here is we have some postme here's Justin Field's commenting
- 26:02Speaker 1: on the state of the Jets tag a liss.
- 26:05Speaker 5: I tell the guys after the game, I'm not losing faith.
- 26:06Speaker 5: We have a thirteen games guaranteed left, so we can
- 26:10Speaker 5: go on to run here and I'm just keep building
- 26:11Speaker 5: and keep working and just keep going. Like it's early
- 26:15Speaker 5: in the season. It's four games, and of course we
- 26:18Speaker 5: want a better start than that. But like I said,
- 26:20Speaker 5: if we keep working, we know the team that we
- 26:22Speaker 5: can be if we, you know, just eliminate the penalties,
- 26:25Speaker 5: eliminate the turnovers and get it going.
- 26:28Speaker 1: So we just eliminate all the bad things that we're doing,
- 26:31Speaker 1: we'll be okay, okay, very very easy.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Now.
- 26:39Speaker 1: The quote, I guess we don't have it, but the
- 26:41Speaker 1: quote that I want to feature here from the post
- 26:45Speaker 1: game from Justin Fields, he said, quote it's very frustrating,
- 26:49Speaker 1: but I'm not losing faith. Field said, nobody in the
- 26:53Speaker 1: locker room is losing faith. All we're going to do
- 26:58Speaker 1: is keep our heads down and work close.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Quote That was from Justin Fields, also in the post game.
- 27:03Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question quarterback Justin Fields saying
- 27:09Speaker 1: that nobody in the locker room has lost faith and
- 27:13Speaker 1: they're just gonna keep their head down and keep working.
- 27:16Speaker 1: So how does that one hit you? How does that
- 27:18Speaker 1: one hit you? So on this one, I've got Ashtray,
- 27:20Speaker 1: Mickey des and roadside barbecue pitt and we'll combine all
- 27:26Speaker 1: of these things together and we are gonna make your
- 27:29Speaker 1: Babushka's favorite corn beef.
- 27:31Speaker 3: That's what we're gonna make.
- 27:32Speaker 1: So number one, number one.
- 27:37Speaker 3: Goes in the back of the room. Number one right. Stop.
- 27:42Speaker 3: So you know what this sounds like to me? Let
- 27:44Speaker 3: me tell you.
- 27:45Speaker 1: If you're reading my mind, stop, it's not much in there.
- 27:48Speaker 1: But here's what this sounds like to me. Remember that
- 27:50Speaker 1: commercial a few years ago from Larry David. It was
- 27:53Speaker 1: for a crypto scam and it was played during the
- 27:56Speaker 1: Super Bowl and in the in the commercial, you know,
- 28:00Speaker 1: everyone was like singing the praises and He's like, eh,
- 28:03Speaker 1: I don't think so. That's my position on Justin Field's
- 28:08Speaker 1: talking about the faith of the Jets.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Eh, I don't think so. This isn't church on Sunday.
- 28:14Speaker 1: It's a football stadium you're going to on Sunday and
- 28:17Speaker 1: plausibly Monday night there in the NFL, and last I checked,
- 28:21Speaker 1: it was a results based business. And how's that working out?
- 28:25Speaker 1: So you are what your record says you are. We
- 28:27Speaker 1: all agree on that. You are what your record says
- 28:29Speaker 1: you are. And right now the Jets have played four
- 28:31Speaker 1: games lost loss, lost loss. That is not faith. That
- 28:36Speaker 1: is futility is what that is. They're doing the mediocrity mambo.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Mediocrity mambo is what they're doing right there. And so
- 28:46Speaker 1: you get the boom box all cranked up and on
- 28:48Speaker 1: the whole roster is out there. They're boogie on the
- 28:52Speaker 1: dance floor and they actually move better on the dance
- 28:54Speaker 1: floor and they do the football field. It is a
- 28:56Speaker 1: boone doggle. This is a boone doggle for.
- 29:00Speaker 3: The Jets right now.
- 29:02Speaker 1: And the whole faith thing again is not working out
- 29:05Speaker 1: at Florham Park very much. Maybe they try something else.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Maybe they can try to being agnostic. Maybe that'll work.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Justin Fields. What we're just gonna be agnostic is what
- 29:13Speaker 1: we're going to The whole team's agnostic. That's where we're
- 29:17Speaker 1: going to be because belief clearly, clearly is not helping
- 29:21Speaker 1: you get wins getting your losses. How about this, instead
- 29:25Speaker 1: of being agnostic, how about you turn to holistic medicine.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Anybody say no, come on, all right, give it a shot.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Why not?
- 29:33Speaker 1: I can get an ashtray, get some sage, and then
- 29:37Speaker 1: you walk around the locker room, you burn the sage
- 29:39Speaker 1: and then you put the thing in the ashtray and
- 29:41Speaker 1: the smoke just kind of lofts through the building.
- 29:44Speaker 3: That's it.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Boom done. Get all that stank from the jets out
- 29:49Speaker 1: of the building. Here and Justin Fields, who is the
- 29:51Speaker 1: quarterback version of a drifter? We all agree on that.
- 29:56Speaker 1: I don't see anyone disagree he's the quarterback version of
- 29:58Speaker 1: a drifter. Now, there are a very small percentage of
- 30:02Speaker 1: people that think he's good. I don't know how many
- 30:05Speaker 1: of those people are real people who've actually watched him play,
- 30:07Speaker 1: Because anybody's watched Justin Field's play knows eh, not so good,
- 30:14Speaker 1: not so good. So he was in Chicago, they kicked
- 30:17Speaker 1: his ass out of Chicago because they realized this guy's
- 30:19Speaker 1: not our forever quarterback. He sucks, went to Pittsburgh, played
- 30:23Speaker 1: a lot because Russell Wilson got hurt, and then when
- 30:26Speaker 1: Russ came back, they did not allow Justin Fields back
- 30:29Speaker 1: on the field. And then when they had to get
- 30:31Speaker 1: a quarterback for this year, they said, you know what,
- 30:33Speaker 1: We're gonna rather go with the guy that likes drinking
- 30:36Speaker 1: ayahuasca Aaron Rodgers and is like Joe Rogan's buddy, an.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Old guy, Aaron Rodgers. We don't want you.
- 30:42Speaker 1: So then he ends up with the Jets now and
- 30:44Speaker 1: now he's on a kamikaze mission with the Jets, and
- 30:47Speaker 1: so where's he going to go next? Podcasting? That's his
- 30:53Speaker 1: next team. I'll be doing a cheesy jock podcast. That's
- 30:56Speaker 1: what he'll be doing here, Jets Talk with Justin Absolutely yeah,
- 31:01Speaker 1: sponsored by some sketchy energy drink or whatever. There's some
- 31:05Speaker 1: NFT operation and why not man alive all right now,
- 31:11Speaker 1: turning the page here. But we stayed with the Jets
- 31:13Speaker 1: because the losing story is the better story. So that
- 31:17Speaker 1: the talking heads were rallying around, circling the wagons in
- 31:22Speaker 1: support of Aaron Glenn, the head coach of the Jets.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Before I get in this, I wanted to play some sound.
- 31:29Speaker 1: We have Aaron Glenn post game, and here's Aaron Glenn
- 31:35Speaker 1: commenting on the state of the Jets from his perspective
- 31:38Speaker 1: as the coach.
- 31:39Speaker 3: I thought I got played with effort. Listen, I thought
- 31:41Speaker 3: our guys understood the.
- 31:44Speaker 5: Ramifications of this game, but meant to go off there
- 31:47Speaker 5: and have that many penalties and really preasing that penalties
- 31:50Speaker 5: and turned the ball over.
- 31:52Speaker 3: I mean that was so disappointed this game. Well, listen,
- 31:56Speaker 3: I'm not losing hoping our guys at all. No, And
- 31:58Speaker 3: I'm telling you now, he's got to go back to work.
- 32:00Speaker 3: That's all we can do. That's all we can do.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Yes, you're not losing, hope. You are losing games a
- 32:06Speaker 1: lot of games because you suck. But that nonetheless, I
- 32:09Speaker 1: mentioned this. A lot of the media love Aaron Glenn,
- 32:11Speaker 1: and I've heard from people that are in that world
- 32:14Speaker 1: that Aaron Glenn is a very loquacious man. He's a
- 32:17Speaker 1: debonair man. He's a kind of guy you want to
- 32:19Speaker 1: hang out with and just makes you feel good. And
- 32:23Speaker 1: it's a lot of coaching is that you have to
- 32:25Speaker 1: motivate young people. So generally, those that are able to
- 32:29Speaker 1: do that, the media likes them and they make, you know,
- 32:33Speaker 1: everyone feel good. So Lewis Riddick, who was doing the
- 32:36Speaker 1: game on Monday, but could we get a mute button
- 32:39Speaker 1: on dan Orlofsky and just let Ridick talk? My god,
- 32:42Speaker 1: Or Lotsky is so freaking bad. Holy crap, It's almost
- 32:46Speaker 1: like he's still playing quarterback for the Lions. He's that bad. Anyway,
- 32:49Speaker 1: So Lewis Riddick, who's not bad. He was rhapsodizing on
- 32:52Speaker 1: TV and singing the praises the virtues of Aaron Glenn.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Claimed that at owing for this is a great He said,
- 33:00Speaker 1: even though the Jets are zero and four, they're still
- 33:03Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. That's like in my business
- 33:12Speaker 1: getting a zero point zero rating, and said, wow, we're
- 33:14Speaker 1: still we're really headed in the right director.
- 33:16Speaker 3: We had one listener, I.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Mean we will man anyway, So Riddick went on to
- 33:22Speaker 1: say that Aaron Glenn is going to really implement a
- 33:26Speaker 1: culture of accountability. YadA, YadA, YadA. Now I added on,
- 33:30Speaker 1: just for the record, I added on, YadA YadA, YadA.
- 33:32Speaker 3: That was mine. That was not Aaron Glenn. That was
- 33:34Speaker 3: not Lewis Riddick.
- 33:35Speaker 1: I added on YadA, YadA, YadA. That's my addition to
- 33:40Speaker 1: the sound bite. So question, this is a checkpoint. This
- 33:44Speaker 1: is a checkpoint in the NFL season. Four weeks is
- 33:47Speaker 1: generally where you stop and do inventory. Four weeks in
- 33:51Speaker 1: the bye weeks start in the NFL in week five.
- 33:53Speaker 1: So not everyone's gonna be playing Week five, but everyone
- 33:56Speaker 1: played the first four weeks of the NFL season. So
- 33:59Speaker 1: the checkpoint on the four games in, you've lost all four.
- 34:03Speaker 1: What are your early impressions of the new Jets coach
- 34:07Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn four games into his run here.
- 34:10Speaker 3: So Aaron Glenn, and I'm not sure how he got this,
- 34:15Speaker 3: but he did.
- 34:16Speaker 1: He was able to take the blueprint for the Jets
- 34:21Speaker 1: and keep that in place, the outline, the sketch of
- 34:26Speaker 1: what the Jets are, and he kept that in place. Imagine,
- 34:29Speaker 1: if you will, if Aaron Glenn were doing a bad job,
- 34:33Speaker 1: what Lewis Riddick would be saying about Aaron Glenn, right,
- 34:36Speaker 1: how would that look there? Now you can swap out
- 34:39Speaker 1: the coach. This is a great thing about the Jets've
- 34:40Speaker 1: been doing this job for a long time. You can
- 34:41Speaker 1: swap out the coach of the Jets, and you can
- 34:45Speaker 1: swap out the quarterback of the Jets. You can swap
- 34:47Speaker 1: out the general manager. You can turn over half the roster.
- 34:51Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It doesn't. The Jets are AOL dial up.
- 34:58Speaker 1: They're AOL dial up in a fiber optic world. That
- 35:02Speaker 1: is what the Jets are. Everyone else is streaming four K,
- 35:06Speaker 1: maybe outside the Saints and the Titans, but everyone else. Right,
- 35:09Speaker 1: they got their YouTube TV. They're on Ben Maler Show
- 35:12Speaker 1: and Benny Vspenny on YouTube.
- 35:14Speaker 3: They're on that, and then the.
- 35:16Speaker 1: Jets they're waiting forty five seconds to connect while the
- 35:21Speaker 1: thing's going.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Just like that. Modem noise they're hearing. Modem noise is
- 35:27Speaker 3: what they're hearing.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Now.
- 35:29Speaker 1: It's the same outdated service the Jets have every single year.
- 35:35Speaker 3: And at this point it's just hilarious.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Like the Jets fire a coach, they do a national search,
- 35:41Speaker 1: they talk to all the smartest people in football. We
- 35:44Speaker 1: want the top young coordinator because it's always a starter job, right,
- 35:49Speaker 1: it's always a sergeant. The Jets fans think they're they're
- 35:52Speaker 1: getting his high speed success with whoever the new coach is,
- 35:56Speaker 1: and yet they're stuck in like nineteen ninety Nine's like, well,
- 35:59Speaker 1: that's twenty six years, but I know, but they're stuck
- 36:01Speaker 1: that I can't get out of it.
- 36:02Speaker 3: It's like weird. It's like a time warp thing.
- 36:04Speaker 1: It's like the Twilight Zone meets the Matrix and they
- 36:06Speaker 1: don't know how to get out of it and all
- 36:07Speaker 1: that stuff.
- 36:08Speaker 3: And yeah, and.
- 36:10Speaker 1: By the time they connect, by the time everything connects there,
- 36:13Speaker 1: the rest of the league has already lapped them. Not once,
- 36:16Speaker 1: not twice, how about three times? How about three times? Right,
- 36:20Speaker 1: that's the brand I've learned that now. I saw in
- 36:25Speaker 1: passing in the hallways here near the nineteen eighty seven
- 36:30Speaker 1: vending machine that we have down the hall here, I
- 36:32Speaker 1: saw Jason Smith getting a snack at the Venning machine.
- 36:35Speaker 1: I said, Man, Jason, it's been like thirty years longer
- 36:37Speaker 1: than that. They said, they're referring to his fandom with
- 36:40Speaker 1: the Jets and how pathetic they are. But it's really
- 36:43Speaker 1: impressive that every coaching cycle, when they change coaches, that
- 36:48Speaker 1: they go out there, as we said, and they talked
- 36:50Speaker 1: to all the top minds in football, and whether it's
- 36:53Speaker 1: Peyton Manning recommending Adam Gase, crazy eyes or Robert Salad
- 36:58Speaker 1: the Darling, remember the Robert Salad Darling of the NFL
- 37:02Speaker 1: media for the forty nine ers as defensive coordinator, or
- 37:05Speaker 1: now Aaron Glenn the flavor.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Of the month.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Whoever it is, does not matter. They all have this
- 37:10Speaker 1: in common. There's a common denominator. The common denominator is
- 37:15Speaker 1: consistency of suck. Consistency of suck. It's like going to McDonald's. Now.
- 37:20Speaker 3: The great thing.
- 37:20Speaker 1: About Mickey D's is it doesn't matter where you are.
- 37:25Speaker 1: The secret of the success of McDonald's is that you
- 37:29Speaker 1: can get a big Mac in Trinidad and Tobago and
- 37:34Speaker 1: that big mac is going to taste the same as
- 37:36Speaker 1: if you are in Shaboygan. It's the same quality wherever
- 37:41Speaker 1: you go. That's the secret. Same thing with Starbucks. Now
- 37:44Speaker 1: the Jets, they're also consistent, consistently serving stuff that should
- 37:49Speaker 1: be going down at garbage Choot. That's the Jets and
- 37:52Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, who seems to be doing this Dan Campbell
- 37:56Speaker 1: cosplay like I'm gonna just do what Dan Campbell did
- 37:59Speaker 1: because it worked for him.
- 38:00Speaker 3: But well, no, you're not Dan Campbell. Maybe you should
- 38:02Speaker 3: do your own thing. Well know, it worked for.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Him, and they hired me because I followed him around.
- 38:06Speaker 1: But well, no, you should do your own thing. Well no,
- 38:08Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. And of course it's
- 38:10Speaker 1: like he's the interroom teacher and the players. Whoever the
- 38:13Speaker 1: Jets coach is, the players don't take them seriously. It's
- 38:16Speaker 1: like they're just launching spit balls at the coach and
- 38:20Speaker 1: climbing out the windows like lunatics, and the it's like,
- 38:23Speaker 1: come on, and he's like, well, you should really act
- 38:26Speaker 1: you should act professional. Ah, you're not going to be here,
- 38:28Speaker 1: screw you. So he's more like a babysitter. And the
- 38:32Speaker 1: results show it. Four games, four losses for the Jets,
- 38:36Speaker 1: and it's detention. Every single weekend they're in detention and
- 38:40Speaker 1: it's for three hours, possibly three and a half hours
- 38:43Speaker 1: on Sunday when they play and other teams are preparing
- 38:46Speaker 1: for the SAT or whatever big tests they have, and
- 38:49Speaker 1: and the Jets players.
- 38:50Speaker 3: They're wearing not their their their helmet, not their their pads,
- 38:55Speaker 3: They're wearing their dunch cap. That's what they do, right.
- 38:58Speaker 1: They don't go to the stadium and a convoy of buses.
- 39:01Speaker 1: They take the short yellow bus. That's what the Jets
- 39:04Speaker 1: take right a little bit. That's why that was my bus.
- 39:07Speaker 1: You know, they wear helmets on the bus. They've got
- 39:10Speaker 1: the velcrow sneakers. The windows are all locked like it's prison.
- 39:15Speaker 1: That's the Jets AOL dial up forever, not quickly to
- 39:20Speaker 1: the winning locker room the Miami side of things. But
- 39:24Speaker 1: they lose wall winning as it's not a not a
- 39:29Speaker 1: lot go by for Tyreek Hill. Bad news bears Tyreek
- 39:37Speaker 1: Hill down for the count season over for the Dolphins,
- 39:39Speaker 1: or reports overnight saying that's it.
- 39:41Speaker 3: He's done. He's in the hospital right now. Left knee
- 39:45Speaker 3: was twisted round and round and round and round and
- 39:48Speaker 3: round and round.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Diagnosed with a dislocated knee. Made a catch near the
- 39:53Speaker 1: sideline there and that was it. He will be in
- 39:56Speaker 1: that hospital until the early morning hours to monitor things.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Now to the medical doctor, doctor Chow, who I've had
- 40:04Speaker 1: on my podcast and has popped up on Fox Sports
- 40:07Speaker 1: Radio whatnot, he says, it is a career threatening injury,
- 40:11Speaker 1: not necessarily a career ending injury, but a career threatening
- 40:13Speaker 1: injury for Tyreek Hill. So question, what are the chances
- 40:18Speaker 1: what are the chances that Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill
- 40:20Speaker 1: comes back from his dislocated knee. So on the malarods
- 40:26Speaker 1: malarods plus four hundred, that is a twenty percent chance
- 40:31Speaker 1: plus four hundred a twenty percent chance.
- 40:34Speaker 3: And I believe Loraina has just seen the video.
- 40:37Speaker 1: The human body is not supposed to move in that
- 40:39Speaker 1: the leg is not supposed to move in that direction.
- 40:42Speaker 1: So the ligaments in Tyreek Hill's left knee were shredded
- 40:46Speaker 1: like pulled pork at a roadside barbecue pit. On I
- 40:50Speaker 1: ninety five, you can get that same quality of pull
- 40:54Speaker 1: the beef there. It was just disgusting. And yeah, and
- 40:58Speaker 1: you look at the matter. There's a guy over the
- 40:59Speaker 1: age over the age of thirty. His whole game is
- 41:03Speaker 1: based on what speed racer. That's it. He's the Cheetah,
- 41:08Speaker 1: that's his nickname. So if you had a cheetah that
- 41:12Speaker 1: was limping around, how would.
- 41:13Speaker 3: The cheatah do?
- 41:15Speaker 5: Not?
- 41:15Speaker 1: Good history tells us this is not going to end well.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Receivers past the age of thirty. If you look at
- 41:21Speaker 1: the comps, if you look at the comps on this
- 41:23Speaker 1: that are dependent on their legs, most receivers are of
- 41:27Speaker 1: your possession receiver. And still you've got to be able
- 41:30Speaker 1: to get open. But Tyreek is an electric game burner,
- 41:34Speaker 1: and so it certainly feels that's a feeling, not a fact.
- 41:37Speaker 1: It feels like we just watched the final chapter of
- 41:41Speaker 1: his Dolphins career, Tyreek, and he ended up leaving on
- 41:44Speaker 1: a golf cart and that was it. Now, think about
- 41:48Speaker 1: this though, the Dolphins, from what we have heard, the
- 41:51Speaker 1: Dolphins whole plan was, We're gonna wait until the eleventh
- 41:54Speaker 1: hour the trade deadline in I believe, right around Halloween,
- 41:58Speaker 1: so the end of this month, early November the trade deadline,
- 42:01Speaker 1: and we're going to hold an auction right before the
- 42:05Speaker 1: deadline and get Kansas City, the Chargers, the Steelers, the Patriots,
- 42:10Speaker 1: and just bid these teams all bit against each other,
- 42:13Speaker 1: and then we'll squeeze out a big giant bag of
- 42:16Speaker 1: draft picks for somebody desperate. Now, to quote Donnie Brasco,
- 42:21Speaker 1: forgot about it, forgot about.
- 42:23Speaker 3: It, Dad.
- 42:24Speaker 1: The only bag they're getting is a bag full of
- 42:26Speaker 1: medical bills to cover the cost of repairing like determinator,
- 42:31Speaker 1: putting Tyreek Hill's leg back together. At this point, So
- 42:34Speaker 1: but I'm still so, I'm still going twenty percent. Now,
- 42:36Speaker 1: what well are you going twenty percent? I don't understand it.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Let me explain. My position is, Tyreek has to play, even.
- 42:46Speaker 1: If he's hopping on one leg like a pogo stick,
- 42:49Speaker 1: He's got to play.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Why does he have to play? Bm date? All right?
- 42:54Speaker 1: What is BMD mean? Baby mama drama? That's why? All right,
- 42:59Speaker 1: baby mama drama. From seed to shining sea. For Tyreek Hill,
- 43:03Speaker 1: he's got more dependence than the United States tax code
- 43:06Speaker 1: at this point.
- 43:06Speaker 3: All right, there's a lot of little babies.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Out there with Tyreek's DNA, And if the NFL shuts
- 43:12Speaker 1: the door, he's gonna be out there because you figure,
- 43:16Speaker 1: even though his leg is mutilated, he can still likely,
- 43:19Speaker 1: you know, partake in adult activity. There's ways you might
- 43:22Speaker 1: have to change certain activities. But anyway, so there's more
- 43:26Speaker 1: kids on the way. So if the NFL he can't
- 43:28Speaker 1: come back to the NFL because his legs all messed up?
- 43:31Speaker 1: Who says no to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Do I
- 43:34Speaker 1: get the Montreal Alouettes? Do I get the BC Lions?
- 43:38Speaker 1: Can I get them in there? Shout out Vancouver?
- 43:40Speaker 3: All right? Anyway?
- 43:41Speaker 1: So and if not that, I'm sure there's some Saudi
- 43:43Speaker 1: Pro Football league somewhere that will start up and you
- 43:46Speaker 1: can see Tyreek out there jogging around Dubai. He'll get
- 43:50Speaker 1: a bunch of gold bouyon and some oil futures and
- 43:53Speaker 1: there you go.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Now.
- 43:54Speaker 1: As for the team, the Dolphins who did win this
- 43:59Speaker 1: game continue to be an enigma. They are akin to
- 44:03Speaker 1: a message in the bottle. They're just kind of drifting on.
- 44:06Speaker 1: It's like they didn't really look.
- 44:08Speaker 3: All that good.
- 44:08Speaker 1: They won the game, they played a bad team and
- 44:11Speaker 1: the Jets gave that game away.
- 44:13Speaker 3: So we'll see what the future as.
- 44:15Speaker 2: You be sure to catch live editions of the Ben
- 44:17Speaker 2: Maler Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
- 44:20Speaker 1: They used to work here in the Battle Higher to
- 44:23Speaker 1: the third degree.
- 44:26Speaker 3: This is one big Ben gets grilled.
- 44:29Speaker 6: The Falcons started off the season with a narrow loss
- 44:32Speaker 6: to the Bucks and followed that up by blowing out
- 44:33Speaker 6: the Vikings. Then they were embarrassed by the Panthers of
- 44:36Speaker 6: all teams. Yeah, and uh yesterday, they had a couple
- 44:40Speaker 6: days ago they had a nice win against the Commanders. Ben,
- 44:42Speaker 6: it's been a roller coaster ride of a season. Who
- 44:44Speaker 6: are the real Falcons?
- 44:46Speaker 1: The real fact real Falcons are an eight or nine
- 44:49Speaker 1: win team. Okay, they're an eight or nine win team Coop.
- 44:52Speaker 1: They're an average team, like I'm not. They beat Washington
- 44:56Speaker 1: with their backup quarterback out their top receiver.
- 44:58Speaker 6: Next, Ashton Genty finally had his breakout performance for the
- 45:00Speaker 6: Raiders on Sunday, with one hundred and fifty five total
- 45:02Speaker 6: yards of offense and three touchdowns against the Bears. A
- 45:05Speaker 6: lot of people are crediting are crediting a return to
- 45:07Speaker 6: his college stance. Ben, do you think Genty has been
- 45:10Speaker 6: unlocked or was this more about the Bears?
- 45:11Speaker 3: No, it's more about the is a dumbest story. It's
- 45:14Speaker 3: they played the Bears. They and Singletary's not out to stop.
- 45:19Speaker 3: I'm gonna come. I'm gonna rant about this more later. Crew.
- 45:22Speaker 3: That is so stupid. Do it more than one game.
- 45:24Speaker 6: Next, After the failed comeback attempt against the Eagles, Bucks
- 45:27Speaker 6: head coach Todd Bowles to the media, we can't keep
- 45:29Speaker 6: falling behind and expect to win. Ben. Do you think
- 45:31Speaker 6: Baker and the Bucks become more consistent as the season
- 45:33Speaker 6: goes on and will this start going south?
- 45:35Speaker 5: Na?
- 45:35Speaker 1: Baker's always been that hot and cold. He's like a
- 45:37Speaker 1: roller coaster, the loop dy loops and all that. I
- 45:39Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna change there. They'll beat a bunch
- 45:42Speaker 1: of bad teams, but against the better teams there, they're
- 45:43Speaker 1: too hot and cold.
- 45:44Speaker 3: How we do you pass? That is a win?
- 45:46Speaker 5: I won.
- 45:47Speaker 3: I won the game right out. That's a win for me.
- 45:49Speaker 3: I won the game won. I'm a winner. I won
- 45:52Speaker 3: the game.
