  Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: From Nashville. Was it a regular season game? Hell no,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it was not.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Was it on Fox?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was a Sunday night, lazy Sunday here in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: late August, as the game between Seattle and Tennessee. They
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: were wrangling in the Music City, and that is where
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we will begin the festivities for the brand new week
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: as cam Ward. Now, this guy was the number one
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: overall pick in the NFL draft of twenty twenty five.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: So cam Ward got the second straight preseason start for
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the Flameheads.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: There After a shaky.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Beginning and uneven which is a kind way of saying
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: bad performance. In the opener, he was given another opportunity
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to calm people down. Everything's fine, nothing to see here,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Everything's all right. So how did the Tennessee offense look
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: with cam Ward under center against a hodgepodge of backups
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and you name it for Seattle. So if you didn't
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: watch it, it is an exhibition game. So chances are
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you did not watch this game. Perhaps not so the Titans.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: They did rally back if you're inclined. They did not
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: cover the spread I heard earlier. But they did come
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: back and win the game, as Seattle did nothing in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the second half of that game. So the Titans rallied
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: in garbage time and they end up winning. But the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: story here is cam Ward. So let's get down to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the the nitty gritty here on cam Ward Soward. He
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: did complete a few more passes than he did last
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: week or the previous game I stoualdly won exactly a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: week but the previous exhibition game for the Tennessee Titans,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and that though, did not really move anything in terms
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of the positive direction here.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: If you saw the.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Game cam Ward a little on the ropes, a little
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on the ropes, you didn't get the vibe that this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is going the right direction at all, as he failed
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to have any kind of a convincing performance for the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Tennessee football team here. As the struggles.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Roll on for cam Ward and.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The Tennessee offense, as they did play some starters Robert
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Salak going with some starters there at the beginning of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the game, that they did much of anything, So that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Does Titans quarterback cam Ward get the it's old only
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: preseason hall pass? Or the other option is that he
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: has lost the privilege after a really so so bad
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: rookie season. So those are your options, right, Does Titans
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: quarterback cam Ward get the its only preseason hall pass?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You're gonna give him the hall pass? Or has he
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: lost that privilege after a rookie season which was very forgettable,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: very very very forgettable. So I've got leasing office, I've
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: got thunderbolts and McDonald's self serve soda machine, and we
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we're going
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to look at you a little cross eyed, just a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: little cross eye to start the week. So a on
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: this side of the microphone, cam Ward, was it a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: game played at the emotional level of regular season game? No?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Does cam Ward get a hall pass? Hell no, no
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: hall pass? No hall pass for cam Ward. Now we
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: don't hand those out, especially when when you've rune nothing
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and he is the personification of doing nothing as an
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: NFL quarterback.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Right, zero, zippo, So you don't get a Hall of best.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: What exactly has cam Ward accomplished to earn the benefit
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: of the doubt He was a questionable top pick. He
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: went out and played like he shouldn't have been the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: top pick in the draft last year. And his signature moment,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and you can correct me if I'm wrong on this,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: but I believe the signature moment of cam Ward as
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: an NFL player so far is the immortal quote. When
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I asked about the Tennessee Titans offense cam Ward last
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: season said quote two words, we ask close, quote that's it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: That's the moment.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That's the defining moment of cam Ward as an NFL quarterback.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: We ask, that's it. That's all.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Which also, unfortunately for him, doubles as his scouting report
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: at this particular moment in time, it's not going well.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So awards play has been deeply underwhelming so far. That's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: just the way it is. Call like it is, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he's that's just the way he's playing. He's itching closer.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He's not there yet, but he's itching closer and closer
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to the wrong side of the tracks towards that charming
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: little village up ahead called Bustville, USSA. Oh, you don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: want to go to Bustville. You need to avoid Bustville
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: at all costs. Do not go to Bustville.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Don't do it. You don't want to go there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Now, he's not a permanent resident. He has been spotted.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Cam Ward has been spotted at the leasing office in Bustville, USA.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And then they've they've checked out a couple of places
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: for him. I have checked it out. And then there's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a showing coming up mid season for cam Ward. They're
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: going to show him this charming two bedroom condo and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it's right down the hallway from Josh Rosen, Zach Wilson
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and Jake Locker and really good, really good Bustville, USA.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Quarterback floor right there. That's some legends. Now on the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: upper floor you've got Jr. Marcus Russell. And in the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: cafeteria they only serve purple drink. That's all they serve
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in the cafeteria.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know what.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Listen here we go the talk about Robert sala, this
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Robert salad that we'll get to it in a minute
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast, over the top praise of Robert Salad,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you'd almost think he was a good head coach and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: not the guy that there's a stiff with the Jets.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing Tennessee is counting on. I think I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: wrong on this. They're counting on cam Ward morphing into
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: some kind of franchise quarterback. But the preseason performance or
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: lack thereof, you don't get an excuse.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: You don't get a Hall pass.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Sorry, not sorry, that's only given out to proven players.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Cam Ward ain't that he hasn't done diddley squat as
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: an NFL player yet to earn that kind of title. Now, meanwhile,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: as that was a clucker and clock, clock, clock, we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: move ahead to the Seattle side of things. Seattle, in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: this exhibition game played relatively well for a stretch in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the first half and then did nothing in the second
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: half if you want to break down an individual exhibition game.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But the story here is not the game itself. The
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: story is the week that was for Seattle. The three
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: major injuries you've got. If you go down the big
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: board here, you have rookie safety Bud Clark, a second
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: round draft pick Bud Clock Bye bye a broken ankle,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: snap crackle pop, that sounds bad. That happened on the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: first offensive play for the Tennessee Titans as Tony Pollard
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a nine yard run and that led to snap crackle
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: pop for Bud Clark, not his real first name, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: they put him in one of those air passed thingham
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a jigs there the vacuum splint as his leg was immobilized,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: taking him off the field there, so he was out.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: And then but wait, there's more.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: The head coach of the Seattle football team, Mike McDonald,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: said that Bud Clark will miss multiple months, a substantial
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: chunk of his rookie season, and he might not play
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: at all this year, depending on how the injury rehabs
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and how he does there. So Seattle already lost a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: wide receiver this week, the Great Jake Bobo. They lost
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: an offensive lineman in someone named Mason Richmond who was
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: injured against the Tennessee Titans. So that's not one, that's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: not two. That's three serious injuries for the Seattle Seahawks
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in this week.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: They had some joint.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Practices earlier in Nashville, so that's it. Three big injuries.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: The question here is this, You've got three injuries, some
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: bigger than others.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: So here's the question.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Foot ball gods, am the football God's angry with the Seahawks,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: or or simply the occupational hazard that nobody wants to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: acknowledge when you play in the NFL. So they say
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that football is a game of inches. All these sports
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a game of inches. Football a game of inches. But
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: right now, for the Seattle Seahawks, after a minutes long
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: deliberation of the available information, we have determined it's a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: charmatic situation. Karma karma, Karma, karma, It's all about karma.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Let me make my case. You've got not one, not two,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: but three major injuries for the reigning Super Bowl champions
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in a single week, just a couple weeks before the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: start of the regular season, capped off by the big one,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: safety Bud Clark, getting carted off. In an air cast,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you had the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Mike McDonald,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: openly using the word heartbreaking. He used the word heartbreaking.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That's the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks using the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: word heartbreaking. And the foot ball world is left wondering
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: if this is just your standard occupational hazard or full
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: blown cosmic karma. And I think we know the answer
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to that. As the arrow is pointing there. You can
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: talk all you want and.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Talk talk talk talk, talk, talk.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Talk about all the players need to be bubble wrapped
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: You can't bubble wrap the players. You can't. You can't
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: However, when the secondary, which was already a weak spot,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and this is a tough spot to be in for
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the Seattle football team, then they're gonna have to play
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: against Puka Nakua, total stud Devonte Adams and the Rams offense,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and they they're gonna be doing auditions for fans. The
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: twelves will come down and play. The way things are
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: going here, the secondary is already tattered. We haven't even
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: gotten to the red season here, and now you've lost
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a premium second round draft pick, a plug and play
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: safety who was going to slide in there and be
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of a rotational safety that was going to be a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: big part of your team and contribute immediately. And now
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: this Bud's for you.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: No, it's not.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Because this Bud, Bud Clark is out likely three months,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: if not the entire NFL season. So he's out and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you look around. He's like, okay, soe you lost this guy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: He was supposed to be a big part of your
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: secondary Bud Clark, the coach, uses the word the h
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: word heartbreaking to describe it. The football world is left
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: sitting there and they're like, well, wait a minute, here,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: this is this is not just a couple of things here.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: This is a thunderbolt, a bunch of thunderbolts coming down here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And the football guys not so subtle are they, with
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: their thunderbolts raining down from the heavens here. So between
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: writing that bogus two point conversion, we all know it,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and this is more proof that we were on the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: right side of history. That these injuries piling up for
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks are proof that they made a Faustian bargain.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: They made a deal with the devil.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: They got the little two point conversion they didn't earn,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: they were given that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And thus had home field, etc. Etc.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Et cetera. And the Rams were the better team. They
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: were given a gift Seattle by the football karma gods.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And now the gods are saying, well, you got to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: pay up the damage on that Okay, we'll pay up
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the damage on that, and not just the fact that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they they had the bogus two point conversion, which I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: see JJ and Ritten and Nostrodidas and crying, Craig nodding
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in agreement.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: There. In addition to that, you've got the.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Fact that they tried to sign a guy facing lifetime
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: in prison. And the only reason they didn't sign terry
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: On Arnold is because the NFL stepped in at the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: eleventh hour and said, okay, you can sign him, but
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: we're going to put him on the missioner's exemplst so
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he won't be able to practice with you or play
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: with you on your roster. So and now this it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: all connected. It is all connected, all of these things,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: all of them. And so Seattle flirting with disaster here
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: with the injuries all over the place. They don't have
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: depth in the secondary. They're not in a position of strength.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's a problem. It's a problem. And it was Confucius,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I believe, who famously said karma is a bach and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: right now Seattle is learning that lesson again, as the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: bill for Seattle's good fortune, the success that they had
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: has officially come due. And with Sam Donald returning back
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to the old Sam Donald. This is going to be
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a long year. I would be surprised if they make
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the playoffs at this moment in time today, you'd have
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: to say it's a long shot based on all the injuries.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: No secondary, you know, Sam Donald's going to fall back
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: apart and be the old Sam Donald we all know
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and love, and they.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Are screwed it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, my god, how fast reality slaps you in
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the face there in the Pacific Northwest? All right, now,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: last word to the big picture we go. So week
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: two in the books, the final exhibition game in week
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: two in Island game, as we've been talking about here,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Tennessee and Seattle was on Fox. So we checked it
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: out there. The question, though, to put the bow on this,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the question what did you take away from watching the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Seahawks and Titans on Fox? You had to watch so
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: watching the broadcast, now, Jonathan Vilma was the color commentator.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: There was a fair amount of Julian Edelman, who did
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the pre and the halftime and did pop up for
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a stretch during the broadcast there and Vilma specifically and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Edelman when they were together, they were serving up a combination.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: They had sunshine and rainbows. It was sunshine. It was
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: gallons of sunshine.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Is what it was.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: There, every coach involved in the game, brilliant mensa, Every
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: coach a mensa. Every player outstanding. I learned that from
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: watching the television broadcast. Every player was outstanding. Every offseason
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: move was just who the team wanted. They didn't get
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: anyone they didn't want. They didn't lose anyone they didn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: want to lose. It was just a perfect offseason. Was
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it was spectacular. Robert Salah, despite his record on Pro
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Football Reference, a humanitarian, an amazing man, a man among boys.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And Robert Robert Salas good. How about Brian Dayball fantastic,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: He's the OC of the Titans. Oh my god, what
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a dream team. Yeah, don't look at Brian Dayball's record
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: with the Giants. What an amazing coach. Oh, how lucky
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: are the Tennessee Titans to have these two geniuses? And yeah,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you just have to overlook the flawed resume.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: You have to do that. You have to forget all
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the baggage that they both have.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Forget why anybody was available this offseason in the first place.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Just overlook all that stuff.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And according to the broadcast, and I'm just going off
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the broadcast here. Everybody is headed directly for Canton, Ohio.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: They're all just great. They're building that winning formula. It's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: just going to be wonderful. All the players this offseason,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I learned from the broadcast, worked harder than ever before.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: So good for them. They learn more than they've ever
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: learned before. Amazing, just freaking great. The Titans and the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Seahawks learn more than they've ever learned before.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I also learned the Seahawks have that championship pedigree.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have that. I can't believe it.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Amazing anoid. I jotted this down on my notestep. All
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the players showed up in the greatest shape of their life.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Thank God for that, the greatest shape of their life.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: How amazing is that?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And somehow both teams again acquired every single player they
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: really wanted. Jonathan Vilma in particular, I thought I had
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: gone to Mickey D's. He was like a McDonald's self
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: serve soda machine, which they're phasing out. And that'll go
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: over well, I'm sure, yes, one of the few perks
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of going to McDonald's.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Let's get rid of it. Sure, why not?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Anyway, the McDonald's self serve soda machine Jonathan Vilma very similar,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: except his version of the McDonald's self serve soda machine
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: was malfunctioning, dispensing triple syrup, extra surrupy, extra syrupy. Everything
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: was extra sweet, bubbly and positive.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And one of the odds. I mean.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, yead Kenny Albert, who was great, mister smooth operator,

  Speaker 1: friend of the show. Yeah, he's a friend of the show.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: We love Kenny Albert. He's great. However, he was trying
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to calmly steer the broadcast while his partners were labeling
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: compliments onto every buddy. Everyone got a compliment. And this
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't so much a broadcast as it was a Seahawks
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Titans combined three hour info.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Mercial is what it was here, where.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Everybody gets not one, not two, not three, not four,

• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I've said for years the greatest content comes from bad teams.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Good teams everyone kisses their ass and talks about a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: wonderfully are the bad teams. That's where the real drama lize.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Although it's limited once the season gets going and you
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: pile up losses, it's not as much fun right now.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: It's fun.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Date Line Cleveland, Dateline Cleveland, Oh, what a weekend.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Another great chapter in Brownie's history. Everyone's still yapping about
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the hissy fit hurt round the pig skin world. It
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: happened on Saturday. If you didn't hear about it, perhaps
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: not over the weekend. Deshaun Watson was boom food booed
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: by Browns fans during Cleveland's blowout loss to the Bills
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and just an extent random number two exhibition game. There
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: his first home appearance since he tore up his achilles
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: tended back in October of twenty twenty four, so his
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: first game in front of the hometown fans, and he
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: was booed coming off the bench. Watson played like the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Browns logo Poop. He played like Poopy and I went
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: out there and sucked at a time he cannot suck.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: And so that led to the post game where Watson
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it's like he was laying on a chair in a
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: therapist office as he unloaded on the Cleveland fans.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: We've got the audio tape. Take a listen, man.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: I have no reaction. I think the biggest thing is
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: I think you guys know too, and I think the
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: whole world knows. It has nothing to do about the performance.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit personal than that. So I think
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: that's a it's a disrespectful thing. So yeah, I mean,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep whatever I feel with me and my
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: family internally on how I feel about that, and yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: just move on. Last time I played on this field,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I took my achilles and that same fan base they
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: cheered when I got hurt. So does that Does that
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: have to do it? But does that have to do
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: it anything about performance? When a person get hurt, especially
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: for your own city.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: And they cheer. Yeah.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: He went on to claim it's a mental battle. He
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: said he felt like he gets more love in road
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: games than home games. All right, So that's a good
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question Deshaun watsons.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: You heard a lot of what he said, Deshaun Watson
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: saying over the weekend that the Browns fans were disrespectful
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: when they boot him, and he said, it's personal, it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: not about performance. Do you uphold this claim or strike
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: it down? Was this fan base in Cleveland disrespectful? So
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I've got Q score, Vacuum and Whenie's box, and we'll
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna have
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: some gabagool the Baba ganoosh, and we'll have a little
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: jumbalia for Ben Jammon. So we're gonna put all those
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: things together there and have a nice s Morgasborg of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a meal. So, first of all, to kick off here,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: as the judge, jury, and arbitrator of all that is
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: truth justice in the sports talk radio Way, I have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: spent several minutes deliberating the available information, and we have
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: concluded that we strike DeShawn Watson's claim down into little pieces,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: little thousands of little, tiny, bite sized pieces. He is
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: still wallowing to Shaun Watson in the kindnie pool of victimhood.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It's a shape unable to process things that make you
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: go hmm, like, why, why exactly does the fan in
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Cleveland have a problem with you, Deshaun Watson?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Why would that be?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: What could possibly have taken place that would have rubbed
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: people the wrong way? I don't know, it does involve rubbing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, all right, I'm just saying, I'm I'm just saying.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And this is one of the things, like Deshaun I
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: got into it with Deshaun Watson when he was playing
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: for the Texas Way before he became enemy of the people,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and in my interaction with Deshaun Watson. At the time,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: he was considered Mother Teresa Jennerson his reputation when he
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: was playing in Clemson, South Carolina and then obviously on
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to the NFL. For years it was Mother Teresa God's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: gift to football boy scout. Then we learned he liked
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to ride on the wild side, and all of a
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: sudden he became Lucifer. He went from Mother Teresa to Lucifer.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Who does that?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: He did?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: It's Lucifer with a quarterback rating.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: And so hey, the brown backers, they bought the ticket
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to pay the fourteen dollars for the beers and the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: nachos and all that stuff. And so they have a
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: right as long as they don't cross certain arbitrary lines.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: They have a right to boo until their tonsils file
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: for workers' comp and they can boom boom boom boom boo.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Boo boo boo boo, a lot of booze.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Why And so now Cleveland they outdo themselves every year,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: God bless them.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Every year the Browns do something so ridiculous. Here we
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: are again. They're at a fork in the road.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And they face the ultimate Q score problem as in quagmire.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: It is a giant quagmire. Here are the options. The
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Browns have a quarterback. Door number one, you start the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty million dollar quarterback guaranteed money two
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million dollars near the end of his contract,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a total bust who now admits the fans don't like me,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and the way it sounded he didn't like them, so
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: they hate each other. The customers don't like the person
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: serving the food. They think the person serving the food
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: is putting cocka roaches in the food. That's door number one.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Door number two, you hand the keys to Sheder Sanders,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: who sucks he's closer to being a TikTok star than
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: he is an NFL star, and he plays quarterback in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: between social media engagements. Those are the options you have
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: at quarterback. Pick your poison, Pick your poison. Meanwhile, Todd Mounkin,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: he takes over as the plant manager at the Toxic
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Factory of Sadness, where the assembly line runs twenty four
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to seven. It never shuts off, pumping out fresh piping,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: hot interceptions, controversy, buyers remorse, and enough pure dysfunction to
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: qualify for hazardous pay duty at the toxic factory of
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: sadness here and good luck to everybody.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, we turn the page, but not very
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: far where there is more news. And I'll be sleeping
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: when this announcement comes down, because I've worked all night
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm still working right now when this will happen,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: when the sun rises, and I'll be sleeping. And if
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you're just getting up now, you'll be awake and you'll
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: hear about it before I hear about it. Brown's coach
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Todd Munkin said he is going to name a starting
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: quarterback for the Browns today, on this Monday, the twenty
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: fourth day of August, the Browns are going to announce
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a starting quarterback, ending the competition between the creepy quarterback
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and shird Earl Sanders, the TikTok Star. It's
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: all going to end now, Monkin insisted. And here's the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: key part of this, Todd Monk and the coach insisted
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that the controversial comments where Deshaun Watson said his distaste
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: of the disrefectable respectful Browns fans is in line essentially
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: implying they both don't like each other. So that's going on.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: He says, though, Todd Mounkin at this is not going
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to factor into the decision. Those are his words. Todd
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Munkin said that he's going to keep the evaluation centered
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: on purely football, purely football, all right. So question for
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the esteem panel here it is, is Todd Munkin head coach,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: really really going to ignore Deshaun Watson's interaction with the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: loyal minions of the Cleveland Browns or is that just
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: coach speak until the decision is announced later today? So
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Monkin is talking in some riddles on this one. And
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I like Todd Munkin as a SoundBite. I think he's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: going to do a terrible job as coach, but he's
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a good SoundBite, and that's all I care about.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I'm in the SoundBite business.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So of course you have no choice but to factor
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in Deshaun Watson and his commentary into the equation. Could
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you imagine two days after Deshaun Watson goes on his rant,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: rather than blocking out the noise, admits he can't essentially
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the way it sounded, he can't stand the fans in Cleveland.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: He just didn't want to go completely there. You're gonna
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: name a guy who hates the fans. The fans hate him,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you're starting quarterback? Like the plan was for him to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: be the quarterback. I fully convinced the plan. We talked
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: about it. The plan is the Shawn Watson is gonna
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback for the reroun. That has to
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: change things, right, it has to change things.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: It's gotta and if it doesn't, like, what are we doing?
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Seriously, he sounded Watson like he needed a miniature therapy horse.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Of course, after getting booed by the fans in Cleveland,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and the coach is like, well, you know, I'm really
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: pleased at how hard he tries.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: You imagine doing sales.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: For a living and not selling anything, and then the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: person that employs you says, well, I didn't sell anything,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: but he really made a lot of phone calls.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: You know, I really tried. But isn't the whole.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Point to sell stuff? Yeah it is, But he tried
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and that's all that really matters. He works really hard.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Oh that's great, That's just fricking wonderful.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: There.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: So I use the Mallard DeKota ring. Very important to
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: get one of these if you ever get a talk show.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So the Mallard Dakota ring and that means, yeah, my
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: quarterback may be ass but at least.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: He's trying, and that's all that matters. That's all that matters.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: So most games are lost, not one. That has been
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: a mantra of mine since the beginning of this whatever
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: this is that I've done in front of microphones, And
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: most games are loss, not one which makes for good
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: talk radio because we can just goof on the team
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: that loses.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: The Browns quarterback derby is a example of that same mantra.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Shedarry Sanders hasn't exactly grabbed the starting job by the Horns,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: or even the throat for that matter. Watson at this
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: point has simply done more to lose it than Watson
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: has at this point. Now, I still think they're gonna
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: name Watson the starter, although you gotta believe that there's
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of sleepless people in Cleveland have been up
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: all night trying to figure out what they have to
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: do with this. And the idea that public sentiment doesn't
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: matter is ridonculous. And you know it, and I know it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You're in the public eye, you're in the spectator.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: You need people.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: The whole business model is You're not in a basement somewhere.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: You're out there. You're you're open in the wild, blue,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: yonder the whole world. You need people to buy tickets.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: You don't plan a vacuum. You're not sitting in a
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Hoover vacuum.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: You're not.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: You charge people admission check. You price gouge them on merchandise.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Check You price gouge them when they go to the games,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: on nachos and beer and peanuts and all.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: The other food check check check.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: So you're price gouging these people, and you've got them
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: in this cult situation where they love your products so
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: much they put up with inferior years, like the Browns
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: have had pretty much everyone's life, bad team after bad team,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and you beg them to watch your games on television.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Very important. I got to get the good TV ratings.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And then pretend that their reaction is irrelevant, Like, how
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: exactly does that work?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Please, So you've got Watson versus Shadur, a choice between
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: bad and different kind of bad. So either way, the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Browns are completely porked. They have no road, there's no
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: off ramp from this mess. So good luck, no matter
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: which button, which lever Todd Monkin pulls the head coach. There,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the Factory of sadness assembly line is going to produce
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more sadness. No matter who's the quarterback.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I still think it's gonna be Watson, which will be hilarious.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: We'll see if I'm wrong on that. They got to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: just release Deshaun Watson or trade him or get rid
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: of him. I don't know who would be dumb enough
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to trade for him. The Greater fool theory of the world.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: All right, last thing, we're going to the bots to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the bots, to the bots, to the bots, to the bots,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to the bots, to the bots to the bots. We go.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Now over the weekend, this is still going on, something
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: called the World Humanoid Robot Games taking place in Beijing.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Did you see this?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty crazy, right, It's all over social media
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and several of you reached out wanting to hear some
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: hot conversation on this, and what better place than overnight
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: talk radio to give you that hot talk. So the
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: big headline from the bots at the World Humanoid Robot
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Games in Beijing. And you know what they call Chinese
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: food in Beijing, they call it food. That's what they
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: that's what Yeah, I know, that's a dad joke. Lame
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: jokes are on Friday.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: They're on Friday.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: So a robot from China won a preliminary one hundred
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: meters heat in nine point three nine seconds. That seems
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: pretty good, right, nine point nine nine point three nine
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: seconds seems pretty good for one hundred meters. Well, it
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: does seem pretty good. And the reason it seems pretty
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: good that is faster than the world record human world
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: record by Usain Bolt. The robot humanoid ran faster than
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Usain bolt Bolts record nine point five eight seconds was
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: set way back in the nine World Athletics Championships in Berlin,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: meaning the bot, the Chinese robot, beat Usain Bolt by
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: zero point one to nine seconds.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: If you're keeping score at home or in your.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Car now, the headline is that, hey, robots can now
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: outrun the fastest Tuman ever. The bigger story, though, is
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the improvement year to year. That the one year improvement,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: they went from twenty one point five h seconds to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: nine point three to nine seconds. So the question for
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the esteem panel is this, are you in impressed that
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: a robot from China beat Usain Bolts world record in
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the one hundred meter dash. Is this a big deal?
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm not impressed. I guess I should be impressed.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of people are impressed. I'm
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: not really impressed. I'm not And at some point sports
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: will just be robots.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I'm out.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: At that point, I'll find something else to do. I
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: don't know what I'll do, but I'll find a job
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. I'll get out of this. And I don't
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: really want to break down robots. That's not what I
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: signed up for. I'm in for the human emotion of
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: athletic competition. We're not handing out gold medals, by the way,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: for a toaster with hamstrings. We're not doing well. That's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: a fast toaster. Look at that toaster run, Go, toaster go.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: We're not doing that athletic competition the whole basis of it.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong on this.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Oh you're such a boomer mallor the whole point of
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: this is to test the human body, the boundaries of
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the human body. Who can build the fastest appliance. I'm
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: not interested in that. It doesn't really do much for me.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not sorry. So a machine runs one hundred
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: meters in nine point three two seconds. Mazel tov, congratulations.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: The Mallarmobile drives faster. And I don't see anyone putting
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the Mallmobile on a Wheenie's box.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: It drives faster than the world record. Come on, put
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: at least put a Wheenie's box in my driveway.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Come on now.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And these things are basically I've watched the clip a
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: billion times these things when I just lied, I not
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: a billion times a lot. I watched the clips a lot.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: So these videos are basically remote controlled cars driven by
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: nerds off to the side with joysticks. The side they've
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: got the joysticks and the funniest part, and I laugh
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: every f in time I watch this clip. So here
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: you go, congratulate these mechanical usine bolts who print around
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: like the road Runner and they can't stop. They can't.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: It's you know that old baseball movie Major League where
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: they throw Serrano the fastball and then they say throw
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: him a breaking ball and he swings and missus can't
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: hit a breaking ball, can't hit a curveball. These things
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: are so ridiculously fast, yet the stopping ability, the technology
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: to stop classified haven't figured it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Out.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: So you see this clip, and this thing crosses the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: finish line and it sets the record, right, breaks the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: record and wobbles around like a drunk leaving a wedding reception.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Your uncle Lou from a wedding reception, collapses and needs
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: to be carried away on a stretcher. There was one
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: over the weekend also that crashed into the wall and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: burned up, literally burned up outstanding engineering boys. Yeah, it's
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: like all right, it's like what are you doing? So
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: way me up and let me know when the robot.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: If you want the full humanoid experience, the robot trains itself,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: it raises itself, it believe it or not, stops itself.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: It also has to complain about endorsement deals and some
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: kind of injustice in the world. To be a full
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: humanoid experience, it has to fail a drug test. Now,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: what would a robot fail a drug test for? Like
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: too much w D forty or something like that. Would
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: that be the violation of the robot code of conduct?
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: But if you do all that stuff, so you got
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to get a failed drug test, you got to complain
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: about how much endorsement money you're getting.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: You have to learn how to stop and.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: The whole thing and you know, train itself and then
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: you'll get the full humanoid experience until then, So what.
