Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: How new you new? It's our number to our number two?
- 0:06Speaker 1: And Dak Prescott in the headlines here, Dak Prescott says
- 0:11Speaker 1: that he's surprised, hurt, pissed off, frustrated at where the
- 0:16Speaker 1: Cowboys are these days. It's like they're going to miss
- 0:19Speaker 1: the playoffs barring some kind of miracle. Here, how is
- 0:22Speaker 1: it possible that Dak Prescott would be surprised, hurt, pissed
- 0:25Speaker 1: off and frustrated about the twenty twenty five Cowboys? And
- 0:29Speaker 1: why are people confused in Indianapolis by the Colts sticking
- 0:34Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers Grandpaul Rivers? And does Pete Carroll in
- 0:39Speaker 1: Vegas deserve to return as Raiders coach? The two win
- 0:43Speaker 1: Raiders who quit on Pete Carroll in Philadelphia one of
- 0:45Speaker 1: the most gutless performances I've seen in some time. We'll
- 0:48Speaker 1: talk about all that and more right now here. It
- 0:50Speaker 1: is our number two. Let's kind of whack uh No,
- 0:59Speaker 1: it's actually just it's just Dak Welcome in the beginning
- 1:04Speaker 1: of another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are

- 1:56Speaker 1: scandal broke and swore up and down that it was
- 1:59Speaker 1: all Ai. This is like before AI really became a
- 2:02Speaker 1: big thing, and he was He's all no, it's all faked.
- 2:06Speaker 1: The Astros didn't do it. It's all fake, and there's
- 2:08Speaker 1: like video after video of them cheating. Anyway. This portion
- 2:14Speaker 1: of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by

- 3:12Speaker 1: the Monday night game, although some of you guys are
- 3:14Speaker 1: on hole still want to yap about that. We are
- 3:16Speaker 1: more than welcome to discuss the events that took place
- 3:18Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh as the Steelers went again on Monday night.
- 3:21Speaker 1: But our lead this hour from Dallas, well, the greater
- 3:25Speaker 1: Dallas area, as the Cowboys debacle continues, all but eliminated,
- 3:32Speaker 1: left for dead on the side of the road as
- 3:34Speaker 1: the Cowboys got smacked around by J. J. McCarthy. Anyway,
- 3:41Speaker 1: Dak Prescott some quotes he made recently making the rounds
- 3:45Speaker 1: and bouncing around the echo chamber. They caught my attention
- 3:48Speaker 1: on the radar, so I thought we'd discussed. So Dak
- 3:51Speaker 1: Prescott said he was more surprised than he has been
- 3:55Speaker 1: in years past at the Cowboys failures to get it
- 4:00Speaker 1: done here, and he pointed out that the way things
- 4:04Speaker 1: have gone, it just stings a little bit more than
- 4:07Speaker 1: some of the recent abject failure. Dallas Cowboy teams the money.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Quote from Dak Prescott, he said, quote, it's tough. I'm
- 4:16Speaker 1: definitely surprised, hurt, pissed off, and frustrated. But all I
- 4:20Speaker 1: can do is get better tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day,
- 4:27Speaker 1: I said Dak Prescott. I added that last part. He
- 4:29Speaker 1: didn't actually say that last part. I sang that that
- 4:31Speaker 1: was an old song. I sang that, all right, So
- 4:33Speaker 1: let us discuss that is the jumping off point. Let's
- 4:35Speaker 1: discuss the question. Dak Prescott says that he's surprised, hurt,
- 4:41Speaker 1: pissed off, and frustrated at where the Cowboys are right now,
- 4:46Speaker 1: more so than in previous years. How is this possible?
- 4:50Speaker 1: How is this possible? So my observations, I've got teleprompter,
- 4:56Speaker 1: boiled zucchini, and fifty shades, and we will combine all
- 5:02Speaker 1: of these things together, and we are going to make
- 5:06Speaker 1: some Texas toast delicious when made properly. Well, anything made
- 5:10Speaker 1: properly is pretty good. But Texas toast is the way
- 5:12Speaker 1: to go. So number one, number um alright, So this
- 5:19Speaker 1: is adorable with the capital A. Adorable with the capital A.
- 5:25Speaker 1: It's also fiction. It's just fiction, is what it is.
- 5:29Speaker 1: And so the Cowboys are exactly who we thought they were.
- 5:34Speaker 1: In fact, the Dallas Cowboys of twenty twenty five have
- 5:37Speaker 1: followed the preseason script. So nobody knows anything. We always hear.
- 5:43Speaker 1: The odds makers are pretty good. They know roughly where
- 5:45Speaker 1: teams are going to be. If you look back to
- 5:48Speaker 1: the spring, when the odds came out right around the
- 5:51Speaker 1: NFL Draft, the odds on win totals for the upcoming season.
- 5:55Speaker 1: The script for the Dallas Cowboys said that they would
- 5:58Speaker 1: have a tough year, and they're having a tough year.
- 6:02Speaker 1: They're stuck in traffic on Boondoggle Boulevard and they can't
- 6:08Speaker 1: get off Boondoggle Boulevard. Now it pays very well. Boondoggle
- 6:11Speaker 1: Boulevard hazard lights are blinking, no tro truck is anywhere around.
- 6:17Speaker 1: So this is not betrayal, it's not it's confirmation Vegas
- 6:24Speaker 1: set the twenty twenty five win total at eight and
- 6:26Speaker 1: a half for the Cowboys eight and a half. There
- 6:30Speaker 1: are three games left. Dallas is hovering around five hundred.
- 6:36Speaker 1: They're right there and they've got they're rotting meat with flies.
- 6:42Speaker 1: It's got a piece of brisket Texas barbecue brisket laid
- 6:45Speaker 1: outside and there's flies who are hovering around right now.
- 6:49Speaker 1: So it's not a collapse. It's not. The Cowboys are
- 6:53Speaker 1: meeting expectations. There were very low expectations. They're meeting expectations
- 6:57Speaker 1: with a slight limp. Slight limp. They'd have to win
- 7:02Speaker 1: a couple of these games here to go over the total.
- 7:05Speaker 1: More likely they'll finish half a game under the total.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, though, let's address the heal a monster in
- 7:13Speaker 1: the room when it comes to Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott
- 7:16Speaker 1: lives in that Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan media cocoon. He
- 7:24Speaker 1: just does. He's sanded down. When I hear Dak Prescott speak,
- 7:28Speaker 1: it's shrink wrapped media trained to death. It just is
- 7:33Speaker 1: every answer. Have you noticed this? When Dak Prescott speaks,
- 7:38Speaker 1: every answer sounds like it came from the corporate teleprompter.
- 7:41Speaker 1: It just does. And I do a show with a
- 7:43Speaker 1: guy that loves the teleprompter, teleprompter Tom we call him
- 7:47Speaker 1: Looney Tunes. So in this case, Dak is always very polished.
- 7:53Speaker 1: That's a word. I was polished. He is professional. Also
- 7:59Speaker 1: utterly lifeless, utterly lifeless, and a walking sound bite vending
- 8:05Speaker 1: machine is what it is. Insert question and you will
- 8:11Speaker 1: be given a nice platitude with no attitude. That's a
- 8:18Speaker 1: platitude with no attitude. And it pays pretty well. It
- 8:23Speaker 1: pays pretty well to be very vanilla. It pays very well.
- 8:26Speaker 1: You don't upset anyone, You don't say anything any very interesting.
- 8:29Speaker 1: He worked for Jeter, work for Jordan. They were better
- 8:31Speaker 1: than Dak Prescott. However, Dak Prescott in pretty good shape,
- 8:36Speaker 1: in pretty good shape here. He has made roughly I'm
- 8:40Speaker 1: not gonna say he embezzled the money. You can say
- 8:42Speaker 1: he embezzled the money. I'm not gonna say that. You
- 8:44Speaker 1: can say he embezzle it. I'm not saying hembezzled the money.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Roughly three hundred million dollars Dak Prescott has earned on
- 8:53Speaker 1: the field. He is the Cowboys all time stat compiler,
- 9:01Speaker 1: not their elevator operator. The elevator operator brings people up
- 9:05Speaker 1: to a higher level, they also bring them down to
- 9:07Speaker 1: a lower level. But for the metaphor in the monologu,
- 9:11Speaker 1: we're gonna say, the elevator operator raises people up, they
- 9:14Speaker 1: take the elevator to the upper floors. And that's how
- 9:16Speaker 1: that works. And in big moments, Dak Prescott is nowhere
- 9:20Speaker 1: to be seen. He fills the box score a lot
- 9:21Speaker 1: of empties, a lot of empties, capitally empties for Dak Prescott.
- 9:25Speaker 1: There's a lot of those. And when the room gets hot,
- 9:31Speaker 1: Dak gets cold. That's what happens. Seven playoff games in
- 9:36Speaker 1: all these years as Cowboy quarterback, a two to five record,
- 9:40Speaker 1: and he will become the answer to who am I game? Question?
- 9:45Speaker 1: No one has sucked as long as Dak Prescott has
- 9:49Speaker 1: in terms of wins and losses in the postseason and
- 9:53Speaker 1: continued on as the starting quarterback. Dak Prescott is the
- 9:57Speaker 1: gold standard, the apps loot gold standard for that incompetence
- 10:03Speaker 1: and one win over the if you legals playoff here,
- 10:06Speaker 1: two playoff wins, one win over the rotting carcass of
- 10:09Speaker 1: Tom Brady at the end of his career's final game
- 10:12Speaker 1: with Tampa when he was washed up was against the Cowboys.
- 10:15Speaker 1: So Dallas won that game. The other game was when
- 10:18Speaker 1: I remember this is we did some stuff after the game.
- 10:21Speaker 1: It was I think a Seattle, a Seattle game, Cowboys
- 10:25Speaker 1: and Seahawks playoff. I believe Russell Wilson was the quarterback
- 10:27Speaker 1: for Seattle and Dak Prescott had very beige numbers. His
- 10:33Speaker 1: performance didn't really stand out. They won the game. So Dak,
- 10:37Speaker 1: he's not shocked. He's not shocked. He's not He's doing
- 10:42Speaker 1: performance art is what he's doing. It's the Cowboys. The
- 10:46Speaker 1: theater is opened twenty four hours a day. In Jerry's world,
- 10:49Speaker 1: it's Cowboys Kobookie. Theater is what it is, and he's
- 10:53Speaker 1: doing it. Never closes, is open all night. The snack
- 10:55Speaker 1: bar gets some popcorns, they get some popcorn, they serve alcohol.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Knock yourself out now. Page two to Indianapolis We Go.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Follow up, follow up to old Man Rivers follow up
- 11:08Speaker 1: Old Man Rivers started almost beat the highly overrated Seattle Seahawks.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Highly overrated Seattle Seahawks. So I bring this up because
- 11:17Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, it was announced, will remain the starting quarterback
- 11:23Speaker 1: for your Colts in week sixteen, Monday Night Football week
- 11:28Speaker 1: away from Monday Night Football to matchup as the forty
- 11:32Speaker 1: nine Ers and the Colts, and coach Shane Steichen made
- 11:36Speaker 1: the announcement. Now some people seem puzzled by this move.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I don't under snare why are they playing Philip Rivers again?
- 11:44Speaker 1: And said the dumb person in the back of the room.
- 11:47Speaker 1: All right, So the question why are people confused? And
- 11:52Speaker 1: I don't know how many people. As I've pointed out
- 11:55Speaker 1: a thousand times, social media is fake. It's the matrix.
- 12:00Speaker 1: We've seen story after story about just bought armies attacking
- 12:04Speaker 1: celebrities and politicians because it's not real. It's all just
- 12:08Speaker 1: it's all a big illusions. I don't know what's real
- 12:09Speaker 1: with not I do know there are people that, at
- 12:11Speaker 1: least some some people that seem to be bedraggled by
- 12:18Speaker 1: what's going on. So the question why are people confused
- 12:23Speaker 1: with this decision? For the Colt sticking with Philip Rivers.
- 12:26Speaker 1: This is like that Doors song. People are strange and
- 12:31Speaker 1: apparently allergic to actually paying attention. I know you got
- 12:35Speaker 1: stuff going on. I got it. So let's review the menu.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Here's what the Colts have here. You're Shane Steichen, You're
- 12:41Speaker 1: the chef. You're going into the kitchen. Here are your ingredients.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Your other quarterback options are Riley Leonard, who's undercooked, Brett Rippin,
- 12:51Speaker 1: who's overcooked, and maybe Trent Richardson. There were some whispers
- 12:57Speaker 1: he's able to come back now dusting off the shoulder pads.
- 13:00Speaker 1: His claim to fame as an NFL quarterback is quitting.
- 13:03Speaker 1: He took himself out of the game. So your options
- 13:06Speaker 1: are a guy who's clearly not ready and may never
- 13:09Speaker 1: be ready, Riley Leonard, the old golden domer, Brett Rippin, who,
- 13:13Speaker 1: if only he was good as his relative, the better ripping.
- 13:16Speaker 1: And then you've got Trent Richardson, whose claim fame is quitting.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Now you know why Philip Rivers is back in. That
- 13:24Speaker 1: is not a depth chart. Okay, that is not a
- 13:26Speaker 1: depth chart. That is bleak, bleaker and bleakest is what.
- 13:31Speaker 1: That is a quarterback buffet where everything tastes like boiled
- 13:36Speaker 1: zucchini and carrots. If you feel me on that from
- 13:40Speaker 1: the cafeteria, that soggy, unappetizing, disgusting appearance. Yes, was Philip
- 13:49Speaker 1: Rivers sexy. No, he did not bring sexy back. Philip
- 13:53Speaker 1: Rivers did not bring sexy back. He didn't. He was
- 13:57Speaker 1: brought in to calm the waters. Calm the waters, drive
- 14:02Speaker 1: the speed limit, use your blinker when you change lanes,
- 14:06Speaker 1: all that stuff, keep the car between the lanes, between
- 14:10Speaker 1: the lines in the lanes. You know, that's what you're
- 14:12Speaker 1: supposed to do. So Grandpa Rivers went out there. He
- 14:16Speaker 1: didn't show up in a Ferrari. Is that here? I am, boys,
- 14:19Speaker 1: I got my Ferrari. He showed up in a reliable
- 14:22Speaker 1: Buet with two hundred thousand miles on it and an
- 14:25Speaker 1: engine that still starts every morning. Is very reliable. And
- 14:29Speaker 1: that's what that's the car he used. That's it and
- 14:33Speaker 1: its method over madness. You keep chugging along. Chugglu chugg
- 14:36Speaker 1: with chocolate Chugglu chugg a lugga. Yeah. And as long
- 14:39Speaker 1: as the Colts have a playoff pulse, and they don't
- 14:42Speaker 1: have much of one, Jacksonville's legitimize themselves. The Texans appear
- 14:47Speaker 1: to be very good. And Indianapolis is in that mix.
- 14:52Speaker 1: They're on the outside, right, they're on the outside. They're
- 14:54Speaker 1: in the mix, but they're on the outside. So as
- 14:56Speaker 1: long as they have a pulse, Philip Rivers will be
- 14:58Speaker 1: under center and the moment they are decommissioned, the moment
- 15:02Speaker 1: they are sent to the glue factory, and that's it.
- 15:06Speaker 1: And you say Nana la la Na la da good by.
- 15:11Speaker 1: When that happens. Philip Rivers is on the first concord,
- 15:17Speaker 1: that smooth supersonic flight out of wherever the Colts are
- 15:21Speaker 1: and he's headed directly back to the backwoods. In fact,
- 15:23Speaker 1: they won't even land the plane. They'll drop him in
- 15:25Speaker 1: a parachute into the woods, is what they're gonna do.
- 15:30Speaker 1: It's shocking, I know. Or final point to Vegas we
- 15:33Speaker 1: go during the offseason. Pete Carroll, good old Pete Carroll.
- 15:39Speaker 1: He was very Braggadocia's confident. He thought his poo poo
- 15:45Speaker 1: didn't stink stink, and he was gonna go into Vegas
- 15:48Speaker 1: and the Raiders were gonna return to glory because he
- 15:50Speaker 1: knows how to coach and everyone else is the village idiot.
- 15:53Speaker 1: And Pete Carroll's gonna go in there and he's got
- 15:55Speaker 1: his little magic hocus pocus abracadabra and watch out, watch out.
- 16:00Speaker 1: So how's that working out? Well, the Raiders just quit
- 16:02Speaker 1: on Pete Carroll in Philadelphia gutlass Football. They are two
- 16:06Speaker 1: and twelve, two and twelve. They are worse this year
- 16:12Speaker 1: than they were last year when everyone told me that
- 16:15Speaker 1: they you know, the guy didn't know what he's doing,
- 16:16Speaker 1: was coaching the team. So they hired this proven, savvy
- 16:19Speaker 1: veteran with a great resume from Express Pros, Pete Carroll.
- 16:23Speaker 1: They got him, and they might as well have just
- 16:25Speaker 1: kept Antonio Pierce. Antonio Pierce actually had them playing better
- 16:30Speaker 1: football than Pete Carroll. So Pete was asked about like
- 16:34Speaker 1: what's going on, and he was asked whether or not
- 16:37Speaker 1: he's coaching for his job, whether that is a thing
- 16:40Speaker 1: or not, and Pete said, quote, no, I don't feel
- 16:45Speaker 1: like that at all. I really don't, Pete said at
- 16:48Speaker 1: his news conference on Monday, I'm well beyond that. I
- 16:51Speaker 1: don't feel like that. Close quote from Pete Carroll. So
- 16:56Speaker 1: the question does Pete Carroll does to return as the
- 17:01Speaker 1: Raiders coach in twenty twenty six a topic that we
- 17:06Speaker 1: will broach many times when we get to the silly
- 17:08Speaker 1: season of the NFL. So I found Pete's response charming.
- 17:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna use the word charming. I was around Pete
- 17:17Speaker 1: a lot back in the old days when he was
- 17:19Speaker 1: coaching at USC, and so I know all the bull
- 17:21Speaker 1: crap that Pete serves up. I heard it all when
- 17:24Speaker 1: he was coaching these amazing teams with Reggie Bush and
- 17:28Speaker 1: Matt Lionert and Mark Sanchez and all those guys at SC.
- 17:32Speaker 1: So I understand all that. On this one Pete Carroll,
- 17:35Speaker 1: we know what he's having for breakfast. He's cuckoo for
- 17:39Speaker 1: cocoa puffs, is what he is. Absolutely the Raiders season
- 17:43Speaker 1: if you were to do, if you were to do
- 17:46Speaker 1: a NFL film style documentary, you would title it fifty
- 17:53Speaker 1: Shades of Puke. That would be fifty Shades of puke,
- 18:01Speaker 1: is what you would do. That's it's a rainbow of
- 18:04Speaker 1: bad decisions. That's the Raiders and blown coverages to the
- 18:08Speaker 1: right players mailing it into the left and expired coupons
- 18:14Speaker 1: for success from Pete Carroll. Those coupons have run out
- 18:17Speaker 1: right now, So good luck on that. You are what
- 18:19Speaker 1: your record says you are. The Raiders are a two
- 18:21Speaker 1: win team. They suck and when they don't suck, they blow,
- 18:26Speaker 1: and that's it. And they are right now a floating
- 18:31Speaker 1: tire fire. They're a floating tire fire there at the
- 18:34Speaker 1: burning man out in the Nevada desert, and our friend,
- 18:39Speaker 1: the mouthwashed Mike is walking by looking at the fire, saying,
- 18:43Speaker 1: am I allowed to look at the fire? Have I
- 18:44Speaker 1: been banned from the fire like I'm banned from Caesar's
- 18:47Speaker 1: and MGM, I don't know. I don't know. Now if
- 18:49Speaker 1: you didn't watch the Eagles game, and I only watched
- 18:51Speaker 1: part of it, all I needed to do was watch
- 18:52Speaker 1: part of it. I saw a team quit. I saw it.
- 18:56Speaker 1: I've been around a couple of times, not my first rodeo,
- 18:59Speaker 1: and you can tell. You can tell when the team
- 19:01Speaker 1: quits on their coach. It's more obvious in the NBA
- 19:06Speaker 1: than it is in football. However, the Raiders made it clear,
- 19:11Speaker 1: and it was clear as vodka, clear as vodka. In
- 19:14Speaker 1: that game thirty one nothing out gained by over three
- 19:17Speaker 1: hundred yards. That tells you that you are floating on
- 19:20Speaker 1: the lazy river that was too cold. You didn't prepare,
- 19:23Speaker 1: you gave up all of those things, all of those things.
- 19:27Speaker 1: That is not a lost that is a hasty retreat.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Under Pete Carroll, white flag is a flappin'. The white
- 19:33Speaker 1: flag is a flapping That is a surrender. It's like
- 19:36Speaker 1: a boxing match you tossed in the sponge. That team quit,
- 19:40Speaker 1: Capitol Q, they quit. That's it. That's an unforgivable sin.
- 19:46Speaker 1: And now the Raiders have a double mess on their
- 19:48Speaker 1: hands because Mark Davis he likes to spend his money
- 19:50Speaker 1: on PF changs. That's about it. And you got Tom Brady.
- 19:54Speaker 1: How dumb does Mark Davis looked at He's like, okay,
- 19:56Speaker 1: let's let let's let Tom Brady be the de facto
- 20:00Speaker 1: general manager and make all the plays for the football
- 20:03Speaker 1: ops department and decide who the coach and the players
- 20:06Speaker 1: are and the you know, the the key people, and
- 20:10Speaker 1: every decision tom Brady has made his man a disaster
- 20:12Speaker 1: and nobody wants to talk about. It's conversation people aren't
- 20:15Speaker 1: ready to have. And they love Tom Brady and Tom
- 20:17Speaker 1: Brady's a hero and you're not supposed to say it.
- 20:20Speaker 1: It's odd though, because when Michael Jordan was a terrible
- 20:22Speaker 1: executive in the NBA, people had no problem pointing out
- 20:26Speaker 1: how terrible Michael Jordan was. Like, for some reason, Tom
- 20:28Speaker 1: Brady is getting an exemption. He is the GM by
- 20:32Speaker 1: proxy of the Raiders. He hand picked Pete Carroll. He
- 20:36Speaker 1: hand picked now Grant. He didn't want Pete Cary, wanted
- 20:38Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, but he took Pete Carroll. And he didn't
- 20:42Speaker 1: want Geno Smith, but he took Geno Smith. He wanted

- 39:55Speaker 5: towards the playoffs, Ben, were the Bills written off too early?
- 39:59Speaker 1: U Oh no, they were not. Is that like woodstock
- 40:02Speaker 1: in the locker room like for the Bills. Are they
- 40:04Speaker 1: all like, you know, hanging out loving each other over shoulders? Yeah, exactly.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a fire they're singing cool bay ah.
- 40:13Speaker 4: No.
- 40:14Speaker 1: If the Bills don't win this year, Mahomes isn't in
- 40:17Speaker 1: the playoffs. Lamar Jackson may not be in the playoffs, right,
- 40:20Speaker 1: Uh you look around, Joe Burrow not in the player
- 40:23Speaker 1: like Josh.
- 40:24Speaker 5: This is it.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Everything's clear that it's like the parting of the Red
- 40:28Speaker 1: Sea for Josh Allen. They got to win this year.
- 40:31Speaker 1: They gotta win the AFC this year. They got to
- 40:33Speaker 1: be in the super Bowl, all.
- 40:34Speaker 5: Right next So this has undoubtedly been a down year
- 40:37Speaker 5: for the AFC North. But the two teams still in
- 40:39Speaker 5: playoff contention are both led by former MVPs. You've got
- 40:43Speaker 5: the Steelers and the Ravens. Who do you think would
- 40:45Speaker 5: be more dangerous than the playoffs? Who do you not
- 40:47Speaker 5: want to see? Well?
- 40:49Speaker 1: I don't. I don't take the Ravens seriously. Their defense
- 40:52Speaker 1: is not very good. And Lamar Jackson, who usually is
- 40:55Speaker 1: great in the regular season and then sucks in the playoffs,
- 40:57Speaker 1: he's been terrible. So the Steelers are actually the team
- 41:00Speaker 1: that you don't want to play. You want to play
- 41:02Speaker 1: the Ravens at this point. You don't want to play
- 41:04Speaker 1: the Steelers, which I'm shocked I'm saying, but that's the reality.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Like the Steelers haven't really played anybody played the Ravens
- 41:10Speaker 1: and the Dolphins, and they look good in these two games.
- 41:13Speaker 1: I'd still rather avoid the Steelers and play the Ravens
- 41:17Speaker 1: the way Lamar's played all year.
- 41:18Speaker 5: Next, the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the top teams
- 41:21Speaker 5: in the East. Last season, on Sunday, they lost to
- 41:23Speaker 5: the Hornets without LaMelo Ball to fall too mediocre fifteen
- 41:26Speaker 5: to twelve.
- 41:26Speaker 1: In the year.
- 41:27Speaker 5: The home crowd bowed them as the clock ran out,
- 41:29Speaker 5: and Donovan Mitchell told reporters that he would boot.
- 41:32Speaker 1: And is this just a stumble or more serious problem
- 41:34Speaker 1: for Cleveland? I would say it's just a malaise. You
- 41:37Speaker 1: have a great year, you focus all year, and then
- 41:40Speaker 1: the NBA you come back and you're thethargic and you
- 41:43Speaker 1: just kind of get through the doldrums of the regular season.
- 41:45Speaker 1: That's what I would put that on. How did we do? Kooboalop?
- 41:48Speaker 1: You pass say, oh my god, I won. I won
- 41:51Speaker 1: the game. I'm a runner, I love the game. Win, win, win.
- 41:55Speaker 1: A chickin'da
