- 1:07Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben
- 1:13Speaker 1: Mahlor Show.
- 1:14Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere as we burst into
- 1:21Speaker 2: speech and use that Yankee ingenuity whatever that is coast
- 1:26Speaker 2: to coast, border, the border and beyond on the vast
- 1:29Speaker 2: and magnificently powerful microphones of FSR emminating live from the
- 1:37Speaker 2: wave as we are on the same exact wavelength from
- 1:42Speaker 2: the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where Mark and
- 1:46Speaker 2: Queens knows that this portion of the Ben Malor Show
- 1:48Speaker 2: on Fox made possible in part by our friends at
- 1:51Speaker 2: tyraq I see mister nice guy nodding his head in approval.

- 2:13Speaker 2: his head. Yes, like mobile tire installation. That's right, tyre
- 2:17Speaker 2: act dot Com the way tire mind should be. Now,
- 2:20Speaker 2: if you've listened to this show at all, you know
- 2:22Speaker 2: that normally on Sunday Night we focus in on the
- 2:26Speaker 2: island life, the island game, the Sunday Night game.
- 2:29Speaker 1: That's the most important game on the weekend. NBC's got
- 2:32Speaker 1: the biggest game every weekend Sunday Night by itself primetime. However,
- 2:37Speaker 1: we did not begin We did not begin this show
- 2:40Speaker 1: with that game. It was such a horrific mismatch. We
- 2:45Speaker 1: decided to move it to the second hour of the show.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And so Sunday Night Football you had Collinsworth and Tariko there,
- 2:53Speaker 1: the Seahawks traveling Armada making its way to the greater Washington,
- 2:58Speaker 1: DC area, landover Maryland where Rick and Maryland says morning
- 3:03Speaker 1: time right there. So I don't know if you saw
- 3:05Speaker 1: it or not. Maybe you didn't watch it. I'm telling
- 3:07Speaker 1: you you didn't miss anything we watched, so you would
- 3:10Speaker 1: not have to. It was a dead of a game,
- 3:12Speaker 1: but not a dot of a game for Sam Darnold,
- 3:14Speaker 1: who completed the first seventeen passes he attempted. I'm told
- 3:18Speaker 1: that's good. Had not one, not two, not three, but
- 3:22Speaker 1: four touchdown passes. All of that in the first half.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Seattle vaporized Washington thirty eight to fourteen the final in
- 3:32Speaker 1: a game that was not even that close. The game
- 3:35Speaker 1: was over at halftime. They were doing a bunch of
- 3:37Speaker 1: filler stuff in the second half. But the better story
- 3:40Speaker 1: is on the losing side. There's been a lot of losing.
- 3:42Speaker 1: There a lot of losing for the Washington Commanders this year.
- 3:46Speaker 1: It was an absenteeism performance by the team that represents
- 3:50Speaker 1: Washington DC. You know what they acted like. They acted
- 3:53Speaker 1: like politicians is what they acted like. You know how
- 3:56Speaker 1: politicians take a bunch of time off. That's the Commanders.
- 3:58Speaker 1: They took a bunch of time off. My god. Now
- 4:02Speaker 1: the game itself was upstaged by an injury, and we'll
- 4:07Speaker 1: address that right now. This is the snuffle offigus in
- 4:10Speaker 1: the room. The injury, and so Washington lost quarterback Jaden
- 4:16Speaker 1: Daniels to snap, crackle pop as he was injured. Daniels
- 4:21Speaker 1: the commander's phenom. You all told me how great this
- 4:24Speaker 1: guy is. He was in the final four last year
- 4:26Speaker 1: with Washington, Jaden Daniels, second year quarterback. There he left
- 4:31Speaker 1: midway through the fourth quarter. His non throwing arm bent
- 4:37Speaker 1: back like it was at a Halloween horror house, a
- 4:42Speaker 1: house of horrors, hunted house. There. My god, that is disgusting.
- 4:46Speaker 1: And there's I'm looking at a photo right here. Not good.
- 4:50Speaker 1: So Jaden Daniels is arm twisted back. I was tackled
- 4:55Speaker 1: near the Seattle goal line, and that is a good
- 4:58Speaker 1: jumping off point because this is the story and it's
- 5:01Speaker 1: going to be the hot debate topic in sports media today.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels being injured. He suffered what we're being told
- 5:08Speaker 1: is a dislocated elbow. He is scheduled to have an
- 5:11Speaker 1: MRI later today and that will confirm the injury and
- 5:16Speaker 1: determine how long he is going to be out of action.
- 5:19Speaker 1: The good news is it's not his throwing arm. The
- 5:22Speaker 1: bad news is it is one of his arms. Generally speaking,
- 5:26Speaker 1: you need to have both. You need to take the
- 5:29Speaker 1: snap and when you're going back, you gotta you have
- 5:32Speaker 1: your off arm to kind of push away defenders and
- 5:34Speaker 1: all that stuff. So it's a bit of a problem.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Dan Quinn is getting absolutely just cooked for having his
- 5:43Speaker 1: player in the game in garbage time there late. Here
- 5:48Speaker 1: is dan Quinn, the head coach, probably not for long
- 5:51Speaker 1: the way this season's going there in Washington, but here's
- 5:53Speaker 1: dan Quinn commenting on why he was in there. He
- 5:58Speaker 1: was you know who made that decision. Let's find out
- 6:00Speaker 1: here we go, here's the coach.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Yeah, not of a space I mean, obviously, like the hindsight,
- 6:05Speaker 3: you don't want to think that way where you know
- 6:06Speaker 3: an injury could take place, you know, as we're more
- 6:10Speaker 3: conservative that spot to you know, run and hand off
- 6:12Speaker 3: and not have reachs to go. But just the end result, Micky,
- 6:16Speaker 3: it's him.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I'm bummed. All right, So let us discuss the question
- 6:21Speaker 1: you heard, Dan Quinn, coach of Washington. He's getting charbroiled
- 6:25Speaker 1: like a Western bacon cheeseberg. He's getting absolutely scharbroiled for
- 6:29Speaker 1: the Jaden Daniels injury in garbage time. Is this criticism warranted?
- 6:36Speaker 1: Is the criticism warranted? So on this one, I've got
- 6:38Speaker 1: popsicle sticks, roller coaster, and finger foods and we will
- 6:43Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
- 6:47Speaker 1: to make a delicious Detroit style pizza which you can
- 6:52Speaker 1: make at home. Yeah, Detroit Detroit sty not bad. I
- 6:55Speaker 1: didn't even know that there was it until like five
- 6:57Speaker 1: years ago. I didn't even know what Detroit style pizza was.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I know Chicago style, but Detroit Stut's kind of a
- 7:01Speaker 1: rip off of Chicago Stell's. It's not quite as thick
- 7:04Speaker 1: and all right, So number why people are losing their
- 7:11Speaker 1: minds losing their minds over this? Why was he still
- 7:14Speaker 1: in the game, Jade and Daniels? Why risk it. You know,
- 7:17Speaker 1: of course, the argument is no risk it, no biscuit.
- 7:19Speaker 1: So let me hit the pause button. Hit the pause
- 7:22Speaker 1: button on the remote control here. Now I'm gonna say it.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud. I don't
- 7:29Speaker 1: think this is the worst coaching decision of all time.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I doubt. Oh my god, you're just trying to get attention.
- 7:34Speaker 1: That's why you're on overnights there. Just don't even post it.
- 7:37Speaker 1: No response. I understand all the arguments against it. Let
- 7:40Speaker 1: me make mallards elevator pitch in support of why dan
- 7:45Speaker 1: Quinn had Jade and Daniels in the game late. It
- 7:49Speaker 1: was mid fourth quarter when the injury happened. Right, you
- 7:52Speaker 1: cannot coach scared number one, Right, you cannot coach scared.
- 7:55Speaker 1: All right, the guy is trying to get a young
- 7:58Speaker 1: quarterback some positive reps. He if you were not watching
- 8:04Speaker 1: the game here, if you're actually honest, Jaden Daniels was
- 8:09Speaker 1: not exactly lighting the world on fire against the Seattle Seahawks.
- 8:13Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, this season when he has played,
- 8:16Speaker 1: has not looked anything like the guy last year for
- 8:19Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, Right, so he needed the work. Oh
- 8:23Speaker 1: my god, you shouldn't say that he needed the work.
- 8:25Speaker 1: I said that he needed the work right, And so
- 8:28Speaker 1: dan Quinn was he chasing points at that at that
- 8:30Speaker 1: moment in the game, he was trying to get some
- 8:33Speaker 1: kind of confidence going for the Commanders right something. And
- 8:36Speaker 1: for Jadens, Jaden Daniels has been the word for him,
- 8:41Speaker 1: My word is meh. He's been a meh quarterback this
- 8:46Speaker 1: year for Washington most of the season. And you want
- 8:48Speaker 1: to see how he's going to do and get some
- 8:51Speaker 1: kind of positive juice going for the Commanders. And you
- 8:55Speaker 1: don't pull him because it's a it's a blowout, you know,
- 9:02Speaker 1: and you need a little bit of scar tissue in
- 9:06Speaker 1: the NFL, you need that. Unfortunately, the irony is, of course,
- 9:09Speaker 1: it looks like he's going to get actual literal scar
- 9:12Speaker 1: tissue from some kind of medical procedure his shoulder messed
- 9:16Speaker 1: up there. The other issue is that Jaden Daniels, and
- 9:21Speaker 1: this was the argument against him coming out of LSU,
- 9:25Speaker 1: is that he is not designed for professional football, meaning
- 9:30Speaker 1: he's built like a flagpole. He just is. He's a stick.
- 9:34Speaker 1: He's stick like, he's like a stick figure, skin and bones,
- 9:37Speaker 1: and the ard for him as well he'll fill out
- 9:39Speaker 1: his body and he'll get stronger as he gets older.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And maybe he'll be stronger, maybe it'll be fatter. Everyone
- 9:45Speaker 1: gets bigger as they get older, right, whether you get
- 9:46Speaker 1: fat or whatever. And so so you go through it.
- 9:49Speaker 1: And the big question is not so much the dan
- 9:55Speaker 1: quinn decision to get to me, it's the can Jaden
- 9:59Speaker 1: Daniels last in the NFL? Is he built for a flaying,
- 10:05Speaker 1: like a summer flame and not the long term relationship type,
- 10:08Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like more for fun, not
- 10:10Speaker 1: the long term. That's the question. And you look at
- 10:15Speaker 1: the guy and he's just built like a couple of
- 10:17Speaker 1: popsicle sticks put together there and optimism and that's not
- 10:21Speaker 1: going to last. It's just not so Again those in
- 10:24Speaker 1: the back of the room, if you're not paying attention
- 10:26Speaker 1: because you're doing something there at the factory or whatever
- 10:28Speaker 1: you're doing driving your truck, that's the argument. This is
- 10:32Speaker 1: this goes with the job. You have to make these
- 10:34Speaker 1: decisions as a coach. And you know, somebody's like dan Quinn,
- 10:39Speaker 1: I don't think it was a reckless call, right, And
- 10:42Speaker 1: it sounds listening between the words that Jayden Daniels went
- 10:46Speaker 1: off the game plan and put himself in harm's way there.
- 10:51Speaker 1: But dan Quinn made a football call, is what he did,
- 10:55Speaker 1: and he got absolutely burned, as it turns out, because
- 10:59Speaker 1: the guy got hurt. And so the magic carpet ride
- 11:02Speaker 1: for the Washington Commanders last year has turned into a
- 11:05Speaker 1: kamikaze mission this year for the Commanders, as they are
- 11:08Speaker 1: just terrible and like one of the great Fluke runs
- 11:13Speaker 1: what they did last year getting to the final four
- 11:16Speaker 1: of the NFL, the NFC Championship game in Philly, and
- 11:19Speaker 1: now you look at him now and they're closer to
- 11:21Speaker 1: getting a top ten pick in the draft the way
- 11:23Speaker 1: they've played this year than they are returning to the
- 11:25Speaker 1: playoffs at this point now Page two. So on the
- 11:29Speaker 1: other side, as we break down the Sunday Night game,
- 11:32Speaker 1: a lot of chatter about Sam Donald, who sliced up
- 11:35Speaker 1: the Commander's secondary on Sunday Night Football a domination situation.
- 11:41Speaker 1: The game was over at halftime. They were actually singing
- 11:44Speaker 1: turnout the last The parties over literally at halftime thirty
- 11:50Speaker 1: one to seven. What's the score at halftime? Donald had
- 11:55Speaker 1: all four of his touchdown passes in the first half
- 11:58Speaker 1: of the game. Who was sixteen for six and then
- 12:01Speaker 1: got another completion to start the second half. Seattle improves
- 12:04Speaker 1: to six and two. Now, Chris Collinsworth, he had the
- 12:09Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawk onesie on on the broadcast. There went in doubt,
- 12:13Speaker 1: slobber chops all over the quarterback. So Collinsworth mentioned Sam
- 12:17Speaker 1: Darnald and saying that Donald should be in the ENVP conversation,
- 12:24Speaker 1: that Sam Donald should be an MVP. Holy fire him
- 12:29Speaker 1: and Ed and all you Jets fans. What are you
- 12:30Speaker 1: talking about?
- 12:31Speaker 4: All right?
- 12:31Speaker 1: So the question is it time for us to reevaluate
- 12:35Speaker 1: our long standing position on Sam Donald? Should we reevaluate
- 12:41Speaker 1: the Seattle quarterback Sam Donald and his status as a
- 12:44Speaker 1: Most Valuable Player candidate in the NFL? So on this one,
- 12:49Speaker 1: I'm giving it not side eye. I'm giving it stinky
- 12:53Speaker 1: there's a difference. I'm giving it stink guy here. So
- 12:56Speaker 1: that's all together, now, pump the brakes now as pumped
- 13:00Speaker 1: breaks on that, shall we I'm not there, I'm not there.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there now,
- 13:06Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth, I'm convinced that he's already built a statue,
- 13:10Speaker 1: a shrine to Sam Darnald nobody ballwashers quarterbacks better than
- 13:16Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth. Can we all agree on that? For a
- 13:19Speaker 1: guy that didn't play quarterback, he was a wide receiver.
- 13:22Speaker 1: My god, maybe we all have someone love us as
- 13:26Speaker 1: much as Sam Donald loves every quarterback and he doesn't
- 13:29Speaker 1: know what to do. He can't criticize anyone. It's wild.
- 13:33Speaker 1: So I'm sure there's a statue somewhere in the greater
- 13:37Speaker 1: Cincinnati area where Collinsworth lives, of him one of the
- 13:41Speaker 1: great ball washers of our time when it comes to quarterbacks.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And so Collinsworth was practically feigning himself in the booth
- 13:50Speaker 1: while talking about Sam Donald, and I would say, I'd
- 13:53Speaker 1: like to quote Aaron Rodgers from years ago. Relax r
- 13:58Speaker 1: E la X Relax, Yes Donald, listen. He was out
- 14:03Speaker 1: there like he was at Lowry's Steakhouse, carving some prime
- 14:07Speaker 1: rib in this game, no question about it. He carved
- 14:10Speaker 1: up the Washington defense, and it looked like the Commander's
- 14:14Speaker 1: defense had done their pregame prep, their warm up at
- 14:17Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings. They had some beer and wings and
- 14:20Speaker 1: went out, let's play some football boys. We'll get some beer,
- 14:23Speaker 1: we'll get some wings. It was thirty one seven again
- 14:26Speaker 1: at a halftime. My god, the game was over right before
- 14:29Speaker 1: Carrie Underwood finished singing. The game had already ended, but
- 14:32Speaker 1: for some reason they kept putting it on television. Listen,
- 14:35Speaker 1: Donald did play like a man possessed in this game.
- 14:38Speaker 1: He did. Congratulations. However, I have a body of work
- 14:43Speaker 1: to base my opinion on. All Right, we've seen this before,
- 14:46Speaker 1: Sam Donald. He did this with the Vikings last year.
- 14:48Speaker 1: How my friends, my friends of Minnesota, the nice Minnesota,
- 14:52Speaker 1: nice people, they can tell you all about Sam Donald. Right,
- 14:55Speaker 1: Sam Dong goes out there and he was absolutely slicing
- 14:58Speaker 1: everybody up last year, like Patrick W. Holmes during the
- 15:01Speaker 1: regular season and then in the late spot regular season
- 15:06Speaker 1: last week against the Lions and then the playoff game
- 15:08Speaker 1: against the Rams in Arizona neutral site because the fires
- 15:10Speaker 1: in La. Well, he went out there and played like
- 15:14Speaker 1: Josh Rosen taking classes at a school in Pennsylvania business class.
- 15:20Speaker 1: It is the Sam Donald roller coaster experience. Sam Donald
- 15:25Speaker 1: is a roller coaster quarterback. It's all gas. There's a
- 15:29Speaker 1: few loop de loops, round and round and round and
- 15:32Speaker 1: round loopy loops, and then face plant, face plant. That's
- 15:37Speaker 1: the Sam Donald roller coaster. The seat belts come unhinge
- 15:40Speaker 1: and you go flying off the roller coaster. Well, that's
- 15:43Speaker 1: a bummer, That is an absolute bumber. Cannot depend on them,
- 15:47Speaker 1: cannot do it, cannot depend on them. Donald is not
- 15:50Speaker 1: and will never be in the bubble of trust. Will
- 15:54Speaker 1: not be in the bubble of trust. And this is
- 15:56Speaker 1: what he does. He fools you, Sam Donald fools you.
- 16:02Speaker 1: He does He plays a demonic level of football in
- 16:06Speaker 1: a game like this, Thread's the needle look like he
- 16:10Speaker 1: was playing against air, just dominating with Jackson Smith and Jigba.
- 16:16Speaker 1: And then the trap door opens up. The trap door
- 16:19Speaker 1: opens up, and then it's falling into Dante's inferno and
- 16:24Speaker 1: Picks seeing ghosts tossing checkdowns on third and fifteen where
- 16:29Speaker 1: you complete the pass for eight yards but you're still
- 16:32Speaker 1: seven yards short of the line to gain, and the
- 16:34Speaker 1: stat sheets shiny and the low information fan gets all horny.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Oh this is great. So as far as the MVP
- 16:41Speaker 1: on my scorecard, which is the only scorecard that matters
- 16:43Speaker 1: because it's the Ben Malor Show, Sam Donald isn't even
- 16:46Speaker 1: honorable mention, is not even honorable mention in the MVP race.
- 16:51Speaker 1: That is a trip to fantasy Land. Is what that is.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Call me when he does it against a big time
- 16:58Speaker 1: opponent late in the season of the player, and then
- 17:00Speaker 1: we can revisit this until that happens. That is my position. Now,
- 17:05Speaker 1: final point high drama in Sinsinati. That's where we go.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Now we're running back. Chase Brown ripped the Bengals defense.
- 17:18Speaker 1: He said, what the f. Now, we're not allow to
- 17:21Speaker 1: say what he actually said because I'll get in trouble.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Mark says he'll punch me if I say that. He said,
- 17:25Speaker 1: what the f finish the effing game. That's the running
- 17:30Speaker 1: back Chase Brown. Now Jamar Chase, Chase and Chase Oh,
- 17:33Speaker 1: he needs Chase Bank. So Jamar Chase was heard as
- 17:37Speaker 1: he was walking off the field in the bowels of
- 17:39Speaker 1: the stadium. And there's a lot of thick bowels there
- 17:42Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. So Jamar Chase was heard yelling one efing
- 17:46Speaker 1: stop again. We can't say the actual word. We're not
- 17:48Speaker 1: allowed to say the actual word. So both those guys,
- 17:51Speaker 1: Chase and Chase ripping him. Now, Jamar Chase was pissed off.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Head of the locker room. The game goes to Chicago
- 17:59Speaker 1: forty was the play of the day. We played it
- 18:02Speaker 1: last hour dramatically, a few seconds to go on the clock,
- 18:05Speaker 1: Caleb Williams touchdown passed to win the game. So the
- 18:08Speaker 1: question Jamar Chase and his partner in crime, running back
- 18:14Speaker 1: Chase Brown, both taking shots at the Cincinnati defense, How
- 18:19Speaker 1: does that strike you? All Right? So I'll go first.
- 18:22Speaker 1: You can chime in if you want. This was obviously
- 18:27Speaker 1: that big fail. It was an epic fail by the
- 18:30Speaker 1: Cincinnati defense. Now, typically, having done this job and I
- 18:34Speaker 1: get to come in here and sit in the cap
- 18:36Speaker 1: bird seat overnight quite a bit. Typically this stuff is
- 18:39Speaker 1: not for public consumption. This is the kind of stuff
- 18:41Speaker 1: that gets whispered behind closed doors and it's like, don't
- 18:45Speaker 1: put my name on it, but here's my opinion. So
- 18:49Speaker 1: you genuinely don't get this in the public theater. The
- 18:53Speaker 1: Bengals defense was so bad. How bad are they? They
- 18:57Speaker 1: were so bad they should be brought up on grand
- 18:59Speaker 1: larceny charges. Okay for that. They were total frauds, total frauds,
- 19:03Speaker 1: and they got paid for that performance. Do you know
- 19:06Speaker 1: that the Chicago Bears offense, I think most even the
- 19:09Speaker 1: Bears fans, it's a middling offense. There's talent there, but
- 19:12Speaker 1: it's a middling offense. The Cincinnati Bengals defense gave off
- 19:17Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy six yards to the Bears. The
- 19:20Speaker 1: Bears almost put up six hundred yards of offense on
- 19:25Speaker 1: the road. On the road, mind you, Now you know
- 19:28Speaker 1: what DA's like. When you see that kind of offense,
- 19:30Speaker 1: you think, you think Kurt Warner greatest show on turf
- 19:35Speaker 1: back in the day. You all don't remember the Rams,
- 19:37Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Rams with Tory Holt and all those
- 19:41Speaker 1: Marshall Falk and all those games. Those are the teams
- 19:44Speaker 1: that would put up that kind of yards. The Bears,
- 19:47Speaker 1: what are we doing? Caleb Williams looked like Josh Allen
- 19:50Speaker 1: in a skills competition for much of that game. There
- 19:53Speaker 1: was no resistance by Cincinnati. There was no pushback, nothing. Now,
- 19:57Speaker 1: if you watched Benny versus the Pending on YouTube last week,
- 19:59Speaker 1: we did take the Chicago Bears. That we got that right.
- 20:02Speaker 1: So whatever, I didn't think it was gonna be anything
- 20:04Speaker 1: like this. I did not imagine that this game would
- 20:06Speaker 1: be as high scoring, and that it would be. It
- 20:09Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Ninety something points just just absolutely ridiculous in
- 20:14Speaker 1: this game. And so this is not some isolated thing.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Though that's the other issue. This is not some isolated thing.
- 20:21Speaker 1: This defense has been the worst in the NFL this season.
- 20:25Speaker 1: The Bengals were number thirty two, they would be thirty third,
- 20:28Speaker 1: but there's only thirty two teams, so the thirty second
- 20:31Speaker 1: team worst defense in the NFL. And so they were
- 20:34Speaker 1: bad coming into this game, and somehow they found a
- 20:37Speaker 1: lower level like we suck, how can we suck more? Okay,
- 20:42Speaker 1: let's give up five hundred and seventy six yards and
- 20:44Speaker 1: then we'll be a super sonic suck. And there they were.
- 20:48Speaker 1: And Zach Taylor has no answers the coach, and he's
- 20:52Speaker 1: not in danger of being fired because that would mean
- 20:54Speaker 1: the Bengals would have to pay him to not coach,
- 20:56Speaker 1: and that's a tight wad franchise. So I'd be shocked
- 20:59Speaker 1: if they fired Zacha Taylor. If you look at Zach Taylor,
- 21:02Speaker 1: he's got no answers. Its finger food is what it
- 21:06Speaker 1: is in Cincinnati, and he's the buffet. Everyone's pointing the
- 21:09Speaker 1: finger at pointing the finger here there tackling terrible right
- 21:14Speaker 1: soft serve. Soft serve defense. Guys were bouncing off the
- 21:18Speaker 1: Bears players like they were playing bumper cars. It was
- 21:21Speaker 1: embarrassing and you could have put a velvet rope and
- 21:25Speaker 1: a couple of scarecrows out there and gotten the same result.
- 21:27Speaker 1: If you're the Cincinnati Bengals on defense, there, Caleb Williams
- 21:30Speaker 1: carved them up and Joe Flacco carved up the Bears.
- 21:33Speaker 1: He had old Man Flacco Elite, Joe Flacco jump ball.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Joe had his first four hundred and seventy plus yard
- 21:40Speaker 1: passing game as he put four hundred and seventy yards
- 21:44Speaker 1: passing him. Never did that with the Ravens or all
- 21:46Speaker 1: the other teams. He's played for four touchdowns and it
- 21:49Speaker 1: still wasn't enough. And to me, that's the story here.
- 21:52Speaker 1: You waste that kind of offensive output where Tie Higgins
- 21:56Speaker 1: gout in the end zone. I believe a couple of
- 21:57Speaker 1: times at both he and Chase went over one hundred
- 22:01Speaker 1: yards and your defense you waste that because your defense
- 22:05Speaker 1: has the backbone of a beach towel. Okay, Zach Taylor's
- 22:10Speaker 1: Bengals are stuck in the mud. They are stuck in
- 22:13Speaker 1: the mud, and the frustration is boiling over right. The
- 22:18Speaker 1: chases are chasing accountability. The problem is nobody on defense
- 22:25Speaker 1: nobody on Defense is catching that bug of accountability. There
- 22:29Speaker 1: is no accountability, and they are doing a lot of
- 22:31Speaker 1: good finger pointing, which is good for talk radio. So
- 22:33Speaker 1: I'm sure that story. We're gonna circle that one and
- 22:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna highlight it, and I have a feeling as
- 22:38Speaker 1: we go through the week there'll be the follow up.
- 22:41Speaker 1: To the follow up. There could be an apology by
- 22:43Speaker 1: one of the Bengal players who called out the defense,
- 22:46Speaker 1: so they'll say it's a heat of the moment. Someone
- 22:49Speaker 1: the lower level could lose their job. The whole thing.

- 25:38Speaker 1: there you go, A couple outs away. Blue Jays were
- 25:41Speaker 1: just a couple outs from winning the whole thing. Else,
- 25:45Speaker 1: do we have page down, mister irrigation from Houston right

- 26:20Speaker 1: is fragile. Bring back the Redskins. Hail to the Redskins.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Hel to Victor read. Yeah, they had the Redskins uniform
- 26:30Speaker 1: style uniforms on in the Sunday Night game. They couldn't
- 26:34Speaker 1: use the logo. However, I was told that the NFL
- 26:37Speaker 1: still has to make that logo available or they lose it.
- 26:41Speaker 1: They have the trademark to the Redskins logo and the name,
- 26:45Speaker 1: so the way trademark law works, and I could be
- 26:48Speaker 1: completely wrong, but I was told by somebody, as I
- 26:50Speaker 1: understand it, they still have to make some of that
- 26:52Speaker 1: stuff available for sale or they'll lose the trademark to
- 26:55Speaker 1: the Redskins name and to the logo. Talk about a
- 26:59Speaker 1: tough sit situation. Let's go to Andrew in Bakersfield, California. Hello, Andrew, Welcome,
- 27:06Speaker 1: It's the Ben Mahler Show. Got mallor to the third
- 27:08Speaker 1: degree coming up? Hello, Andrew.
- 27:11Speaker 4: Oh, is this the Ben Maler Show?
- 27:12Speaker 3: Oh?
- 27:13Speaker 4: All right, well thanks thanks.
- 27:15Speaker 7: For telling me.
- 27:17Speaker 4: What what a game?
- 27:20Speaker 1: Come on which game? There's a bunch of games that
- 27:22Speaker 1: have been played. I don't know which game you're talking about.
- 27:24Speaker 4: I'm not well the Dodgers, my friend. Okay, I normally
- 27:30Speaker 4: call Bernie Foudle yesterday and I was so I was
- 27:33Speaker 4: completely wiped out.
- 27:35Speaker 7: I couldn't call.
- 27:36Speaker 1: You're too emotional, Yes, very much. I understand that it
- 27:41Speaker 1: was nice. That's the way sports are supposed to be, right, right,
- 27:45Speaker 1: That's that's like perfect does That's why you watch sports?
- 27:48Speaker 1: Is this like you're gonna lose, You're gonna lose, you one,
- 27:50Speaker 1: you're balancing hope and fear.
- 27:52Speaker 4: Right, and they fought, you know, they fought.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Well, they did something they did they did something they
- 27:59Speaker 1: don't normally do. That's beyond The Dodgers were not a
- 28:01Speaker 1: scrappy team. They weren't. They turned out to me that
- 28:05Speaker 1: the final game. They were a scrappy team. But they
- 28:07Speaker 1: not don't know how. I mean, they hit home runs.
- 28:09Speaker 1: It's not like they had three or four hits and
- 28:10Speaker 1: won the game that way, and they stole a bunch
- 28:12Speaker 1: of bases. They just happened to hit home runs. But
- 28:15Speaker 1: the fact is when they were behind lad in games,
- 28:18Speaker 1: they very rarely came back and won those games. So
- 28:23Speaker 1: they did in this game congratulate they won the World Series.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Did the better team lose the World Series? No, that's
- 28:28Speaker 1: really that's stupid idiot from the terime. We're going to
- 28:30Speaker 1: talk about that next, the guy for the Blue Jays.
- 28:32Speaker 1: The better team did not win. No, because it doesn't matter.
- 28:35Speaker 1: The Blue Jays had better stats. I'll give you that
- 28:37Speaker 1: they had better stats, but they the better team that
- 28:40Speaker 1: went with what else what?
- 28:42Speaker 7: Well?

- 28:45Speaker 4: but man, they all I got to say is that's
- 28:49Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. That was fighting and that was great.
- 28:55Speaker 1: You're just saying you really don't have much to say,
- 28:57Speaker 1: but you just wanted to You wanted to chime me.

- 32:56Speaker 1: the end of the regular season. They had a shot
- 32:58Speaker 1: of him with his family on the field that after

- 33:55Speaker 2: You're talking to yourself.
- 33:56Speaker 4: Now, this is how mad you've gone.
- 33:58Speaker 1: It's not about being met. Listen, you you're a Dodger
- 34:00Speaker 1: fan boy. I get it. I like the Dodgers, but
- 34:03Speaker 1: I am unlike you. I'm willing to I'm willing to
- 34:06Speaker 1: call out there. I'm willing to call their bull crap out.
- 34:08Speaker 1: You're not.
- 34:09Speaker 7: I asked questions.
- 34:10Speaker 1: No, you're not allowed to ask him a question. Why
- 34:12Speaker 1: would you want to ask him a question?
- 34:15Speaker 7: Clearly I need I want to ask a couple of questions. Coop.
- 34:18Speaker 4: I remember you saying a long time ago that if
- 34:23Speaker 4: Tani became a Dodger you would be very, very sad.
- 34:25Speaker 7: How do you feel.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Now, I haven't.
- 34:29Speaker 8: I've been boycotting the Angels for that years.
- 34:32Speaker 1: He didn't watch. But to see show, hey go on
- 34:36Speaker 1: and win back, Well, I think it's great. Yeah. I
- 34:39Speaker 1: had had an amazing, you know performance. I had an
- 34:42Speaker 1: ERA of over seven in the World Series. It was
- 34:46Speaker 1: so so dominant. I mean, my god, Blake Snell had
- 34:50Speaker 1: an ERA of six point nine two. The team batted
- 34:53Speaker 1: two hundred in the World Series. David, but Dave Roberts
- 34:56Speaker 1: did a hell of a job. My god.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Yeah, he had to manage.
- 34:59Speaker 7: Because all the like usual became icicle.
- 35:02Speaker 1: But why would they become ice school. I thought I
- 35:04Speaker 1: thought Dave Roberts would motivate them to hit. I thought
- 35:07Speaker 1: Roberts was a great manager. Why, I mean great manager.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Get them to hit before you let me go, before
- 35:11Speaker 1: you let me go. I gotta move off real quick.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, real real quick. Hurry up.
- 35:16Speaker 5: Bill.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Bill's looks amazing.
- 35:18Speaker 4: Sabers are about five hundred right now. But I'm going
- 35:20Speaker 4: to tell you right now, the Patriots are not making
- 35:22Speaker 4: the playoffs.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Everybody that that is Rake May.
- 35:25Speaker 8: Drake May is the new, the new Trevor Lawrence, D J.
- 35:30Speaker 7: Stroud.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Okay, now, nay, now, now, you're just trying to incite.
- 35:35Speaker 1: In the second half, the Falcons clabbored him, they almost
- 35:39Speaker 1: murdered him.
- 35:40Speaker 7: He's done.
- 35:43Speaker 1: You're trying to You're trying to. You're trying to speak
- 35:45Speaker 1: that into reality, is what you're You.
- 35:47Speaker 7: Know, they're shooting musket while everyone else.
- 35:50Speaker 5: All they're done.
- 35:51Speaker 1: All right, that's your parting shot. There's Andy of the
- 35:53Speaker 1: comic book. It is the Baine Malord Show. As we
- 35:56Speaker 1: pressed on, we're gonna have Mallardly third degree that is
- 35:59Speaker 1: right around on the corner. And we'll push back the

- 38:46Speaker 8: said he is not going to retire. He can't imagine
- 38:48Speaker 8: that being his last pitch he's ever thrown. Yeah, he
- 38:51Speaker 8: didn't have a good regular season. Do you think there's
- 38:52Speaker 8: gonna be a lot of desire from ex Scherzer?
- 38:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he'll sign with somebody like who thinks they
- 38:58Speaker 1: can squeeze out half a season. He'll take half the
- 39:00Speaker 1: year off like he did this year in Toronto and
- 39:02Speaker 1: suck and then somebody said, well he's got that playoff pedigree.
- 39:05Speaker 1: How'd that work out? In Game seven next.
- 39:07Speaker 8: Cooper Flagg addressed his tough start in this league. He
- 39:10Speaker 8: said it's a tough league, and he said he doesn't
- 39:13Speaker 8: think it's anything that anybody should be worried about. Ben,
- 39:16Speaker 8: do you think they should be worried about it? Or
- 39:17Speaker 8: is this more of like a bad situation type.
- 39:19Speaker 1: Well, when you're the number one pick in the draft,
- 39:21Speaker 1: you're supposed to come out guns of blazing. He has
- 39:24Speaker 1: not come out guns of blazing here. So it's too
- 39:27Speaker 1: soon to completely say the sky is falling for Cooper Flagg.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Obviously him, He's only played a few games in the
- 39:33Speaker 1: NBA the season. No one's really paying attention to the
- 39:35Speaker 1: NBA that much, but the numbers are not good, and
- 39:37Speaker 1: he just doesn't look like he's got a higher level,
- 39:40Speaker 1: which is problematic. I have not seen it, so I
- 39:42Speaker 1: haven't watched too many Maverick games. When I have, I've
- 39:44Speaker 1: not been over the impressed.

- 39:57Speaker 8: that's true, but I think I know the answer.
- 39:59Speaker 6: No.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Listen, there's a lot of people that want it. They
- 40:01Speaker 1: don't want to die on that. Manning's a heisman, he's
- 40:04Speaker 1: not a candidating Please cool, Come on, how did we do?
- 40:08Speaker 4: All right?
- 40:09Speaker 1: That's bad. Let the take go. Come on, let the
- 40:12Speaker 1: take go.
