• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's our number two. And we start out with a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: big defensive force. Miles Garrett is Miles Garrett, the missing
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: ingredient that turns the L.A. Rams back in to legitimate
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders, the team that they were supposed to be. However,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they haven't been that team. Rams wouldn't even be a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: playoff team at this point based on their shaky regular season. season,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: but Myles Garrett had a big return to the lineup. Also,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: what is the bigger problem for the Chargers? Mike McDaniel's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: offensive scheme, Justin Herbert's decision-making, or a dysfunctional offensive line?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Bill Cowher says that Shadur Sanders
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: should be the Cleveland Browns quarterback the rest of the year.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down. Did Shadur Sanders show you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: enough to earn another shot as Cleveland's quarterback? We'll talk
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: about that and who knows what else right now. It's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: our number two. Miles and miles ahead. Welcome in the

• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we continue our in-depth team coverage, NFL Week 9. There's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: one game left on Monday night, but we are continuing.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to put under the Maller microscope the games that took
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: place on Sunday. One of those games in Landover, Maryland,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: where Miles Garrett actually played a game for the Rams again.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: First time he's worn a Ram uniform in North America.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Remember that sham game the Rams played in Australia where
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they didn't show up? Well, they did show up, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they didn't show up, if you know what I mean,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: losing to the 49ers. Well, Miles Garrett returned. from, oh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: my knee! He had a knee operation, and he came
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: out a man on a mission. Vengeance. Vengeance. He had
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three sacks, six pressures, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a partridge in a pear tree. The Rams end up
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: winning 20-13, just 20 points for the Rams, 20-13 over
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels and Washington, and Myles Garrett only played 60%
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of the defensive snaps. So he was not a full-time player.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Barely over half the snaps, Myles Garrett able to play.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: He said it was a weight off his shoulders as
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: he was out there causing some heartache to Jaden Daniels there,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the commander's quarterback. He had a strip sack on one
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of his key defensive plays there for the Rams. Two
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: fourth-quarter takedowns. And he paired up with Aaron Donald, the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, Aaron Donald tag team. Donald and Garrett, the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: law firm. I don't think they're ambulance chasing lawyers, but
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they were out there. And providing immediate fireworks. Kaboom! Right there.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So Garrett. In his career, going back to his Cleveland
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Brown days, 128.5 career sacks. And he says, I am
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: nowhere near where I need to be. I am not
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: even close to full strength. He let the media know
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: after the game. His message to the opponents, he, of course,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: was very calm, cool, and collected and not arrogant at
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: all when he said he is the Rams' closer.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But you only have that in baseball. I didn't realize
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he had a closer name. In football. That is a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett... The missing ingredient that turns the Rams into
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: legitimate Super Bowl contenders, as they were supposed to be
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: before the season. They have not been that. Does this
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: move solidify? Sean McVay's Rams, Miles Garrett back in the lineup.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: So I've got Hobnobbing, Scatterbrain, and El Monterey. And we
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we are
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: going to strike a blow. Blow, blow, blow. That's what
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to do. All right, so to answer the question...
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Number one! Number one! I am nodding my head yes.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: That's my answer to the question. I'm told I have
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to expand on that. So I'm pretty sure when the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Rams made that deal with the Factory of Sadness, they
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: ordered out of the catalog the Terminator. That's what they want.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I want the Terminator! I'll give you all my draft picks.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Have this other guy your teammates hate
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: there in Cleveland. You can have him too. I want
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the Terminator. That's what they ordered out of the catalog.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And for weeks and weeks and weeks, the Rams got
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a Roomba with a dead battery. That's what they got.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That was Miles Garrett. A whole lot of nothing. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: there he was on Sunday. The Terminator finally arrived. Just
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in time for the coolness of the November part of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the calendar there. And let's be honest here. The Rams,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: when they made that transaction, and they went all in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: on this season, which we don't have a problem with,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but when they made the deal with the Factory of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Sadness to get Miles Garrett, they did not trade. The
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Rams did not trade all those draft picks for Miles
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Garrett to become a Hollywood socialite and hang out at
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: those cocktail parties and... and sipping that cucumber water and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: hobnobbing with the Kardashians. That is not why they made
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the deal. They wanted the cyborg. That's what they wanted.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The human wrecking ball. The exterminator. And that's what they got,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: at least in this game. Now, granted, Washington's offensive line
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: provides really good customer service. Really good customer service. Better
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: customer service than, like, the Ritz-Carlton. They're very kind to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: people that visit. Really nice there. The Washington, what used
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to be called the Redskins. Very nice. Practically escorting Miles
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Garrett to the quarterback. Ole, ole, ole, ole. Matadors on
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the offensive line.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not going to sit here and give Miles
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Garrett a standing ovation. A lot of the media, they're
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: puckering up and they're licking the toes of Miles Garrett
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: We don't.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Do that here. He did what he's paid an obscene
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: amount of money to do. Good for him. Nevertheless, the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Rams offense, that's the thing. They're continued despite having the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: reigning MVP from last year, the Rams offense, traveling by
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: covered wagon down the Oregon Trail. And they're going to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: get some kind of illness here. Good luck on that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, supposed to be the SpaceX rocket, at least
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: for the defense. And if you have a great defense,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you can get by scoring 20 points like the Rams
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: did in this game. And so you've got Miles Garrett
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald, the NFL's version of a double root
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: canal for the opposition. And there's no anesthesia, so you
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: just got to deal with it. And there's no insurance,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about that. And the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: quarterback gets the bill. All right, meanwhile, to L.A. we go.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: The other team in L.A., the Chargers. They're so bad.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: How bad are they? They're the worst team in the NFL,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the Chargers, who had that on their big board before
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the season. Chargers' nightmare season rolls on. They hit yet
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: another pothole. Our buddy Mr. Irrigation smiling from ear to ear,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: deep in the heart of Texas there in Houston. It's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: his Texas. Molly whopped. The Chargers' Justin Herbert injured his
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: left middle finger. That's his non-throwing hand. As the Texans
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: doubled up the Chargers 44-22. The final, a public humiliation
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: yet again at the hands of Houston. As the L.A.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: defense turned C.J. Stroud into Peyton Manning 2.0. As the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Bolts quarterback injured, that's the headline getting a lot of attention.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh overruled Herbert. He said he wanted to stay
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in the game. And Harbaugh said, no, we're going to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: take you out. Possible fractured finger. Herbert did say... he
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: expects to play against Baltimore on a game that is
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: for friends and family only. Might as well be put
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: on a different channel a week from today, a week
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: from this Monday here. Next Monday, Chargers and Ravens. Why
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: are they putting that game on TV? Because it was
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: scheduled to be on TV. Because those teams looked like
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: they were going to be good a couple months ago. Unfortunately,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that's why they play the games. Anyway, the other storyline
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: here is Mike McDaniel, the kombucha tea drinking, nut job
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator there, former Dolphin coach Mike McDaniel, who moved
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to the coaches box. We talked about this at the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: end of last week. And Talked about getting a different
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: perspective on the game, having a bird's eye view on
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: what was going on here. This is going to change
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: things up for the Chargers. And how'd that go? Well,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: he did have a bird's eye view of the latest debacle.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: The latest debacle here for the Chargers. In fact, they
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: trailed 31-9. entering the fourth quarter. I didn't play in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't think that's good. I do not
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: think when you're down 31-9, that is particularly good. We
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: have some audio? Who do we have? All right, here
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is Jim Harbaugh, who's asked every week about his offensive coordinator,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, and here's the latest bullcrap answer by Jim Harbaugh.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Go to that microcosm of the game, moving the ball.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: We weren't as good in the third down as the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Texans were. defensively. We're as good as the Texans were
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: offensively on third down, and we weren't as good defensively
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: on third down. That was another part of the game
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: that we just got beat.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's one way to say it. Yes, you got beat.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: There you go. So Mike McDaniel moves to the coach's box,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and El Stinko continues there for the Chargers. Houston sacking
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert eight times. Herbert threw his NFL-leading 11th interception.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Congratulations on that. Chargers did end their eight-touchdown draft, which is,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I believe, how many? It was a couple games ago.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Without a touchdown. They remain winless. 0-8 on the year.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They have the imperfect season in their sights. They can
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: do it. I believe in this team. I think they're
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: just bad enough they can pull off the 0-17. Now,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: dumb luck says they'll win at least one or two games.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: But here we are halfway home and they haven't won anything.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: So the Chargers, is this rock bottom? I think they
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: can go lower. I think they haven't reached bedrock yet.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is rock bottom. So the question,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: what is the bigger problem for the Chargers? Mike McDaniel's
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: offensive scheme or Justin Herbert's crap bag decision-making, just a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: dysfunctional offensive line. They've got all this stuff going on.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And so you make the call here. What is the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: bigger problem? So reveal answers. The answer is all of
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the above. Is the answer. That's it. All of the above.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh changed the seating arrangement, as we pointed out here. Unfortunately,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: they forgot to change the offensive play calling. And McDaniel,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: as we said there, bird's eye view of the latest
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: debacle down by 22 points going to the fourth quarter
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of this game. The press box experiment. for the Chargers
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. That's essentially cosmetic surgery on a corpse. It's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: really rather pointless at this moment here. Now, we said,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and I maintain this, that you've got to keep going now.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Make this entertaining. I want to see Mike McDaniel in
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the Goodyear blimp, and I want to see him calling
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the plays from the blimp in the next Charger home game.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Or road game, for that matter. I don't care. Do
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it home, do it road, doesn't matter. Now, meanwhile, Justin Herbert...
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: We'll say the quiet part out loud. This guy is
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: an epic scatterbrain. Justin Herbert. You talk about suffering from
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: amnesia on how to play quarterback at an elite level.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And this guy. P.U. What stinks? My God.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Is the offensive line good? No. It's not good for
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the Chargers. I'm going to sit here and advocate for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the offensive line for the Chargers. Pressure happens in the NFL.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It does. All the time. But instead of adjusting, instead
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of realizing, hey, wait a minute, this offensive line's not
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: very good, and we might have to adjust, make some
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: quick throws here, run the layered root tree concept, and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: try to neutralize the pass rush. Instead of doing that stuff, no, no, no,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: let's just stand there and suffer panic attacks. That's what
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: we ought to do. Yeah, that makes sense. Why not? Herbert,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: there's a skill that separates. One of the skills that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: separates the good quarterbacks from the great quarterbacks is called
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: sack avoidance. Justin Herbert appears to have no ability to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: avoid sacks. He might as well be a statue, like
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty or something, put him out there.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: He can't avoid sacks. What happened to sack avoidance? Where
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: did that skill go? Just a deer in the headlights
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: yet again. Throw the ball away, dude. Throw the ball away.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to be able to feel pressure. Now, some
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of those sacks, I get it, but not all eight sacks.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: In fact, maybe there were a couple of them that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you say, okay, that's on the offensive line. There's nothing
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert could have done. The other ones, a lot
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of them are on him. Oh, you can't rip him.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: He's the quarterback. He's the pretty boy. Oh, my God.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean Josh McDaniels is doing a great job.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: But you're the franchise quarterback, and you don't know what
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you're doing. My God, throw the ball away. Now, the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: other thing, too, watching the Chargers, and you're reminded that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the ownership there has gone to Wendy's. They got a
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: giant Frosty there, and they've eaten it too fast because
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they're suffering from permanent brain freeze.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: No one.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: No one loses their job. We live in the age
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of professional sports where it's common knowledge if you don't succeed,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: if you fail at this level, people lose their job.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: People get traded. The trade deadline's tomorrow, so we'll see
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: if any of that happens. But at this particular moment,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you look at that situation with the chart. Where's the ownership? Well,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's making a lot of money. Can't fire Jim Harbaugh. Okay,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: what about McDaniel? McDaniel's getting paid by the Dolphins. From
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: what I've heard, he's still getting paid a lot of
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: money from Miami, so it's not like the Chargers are
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: paying him a lot of money. Why do you have
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: loyalty to him? And Justin Herbert, how many more of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: these games does he have to have? He's already been
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a choke artist in the big moments in the playoffs,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and he's gotten a mulligan for that. This is just terrible.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Eight for eight in losses, and they just have this
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: brain freeze. Nothing changes. Now, meanwhile, we head to the bayou.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And what happened there? Well, Tyler Schuch connected with Jawan Johnson, who?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: 15-yard touchdown pass in overtime, and the Saints. Able to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: stave off defeat on the final play of the game.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: A wild finish. They beat Cleveland 23-22. Backup quarterback Shadur
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Sanders getting the start there for the Brownies. He had
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a 39-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass in overtime. But Cleveland said,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: we're going for two. I don't have a problem with it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Not my job. They went for two. They gambled on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the two-point conversion and did not go well. They came
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: up With Snake Eyes, when they needed a couple of sixes,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: they got Snake Eyes. That's a problem. And so New
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Orleans gets to three and five. They're bad. The Browns
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: drop to five and four. They're bad. Their record doesn't
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: show it quite yet. Now, the story, obviously, is Shadur Sanders.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: And you had Bill Cowher come out here and announce
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that Mr. Boring over there at CBS, Bill Cowher, about how,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders should be the quarterback going forward for the Browns.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So here's the question. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Did
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders show enough to earn another shot as the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Cleveland quarterback? So thumbs up, thumbs down. I'm going to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: go thumbs down. Now, as a talk show host, I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: go thumbs up. But just watching as a quarterback, I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: go thumbs down. I realize that's an unpopular opinion, that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the algorithm loves Shadur Sanders and he's beloved. I didn't
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: watch every second of this game. Now, when I flipped
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: over to this game, the play that I saw from
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders, he was the same guy that he had
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: been last year. And that's not good. That's not good. Now,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the numbers were a little better, and there were a
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: couple of big plays that he made, and so you say, well,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it is a lot different. I didn't get the sense
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: it was all that much different. The same reasons that
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the Browns went to the creepy quarterback, Deshaun Watson, are
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: still there, that there's not a lot of trust with Schroeder, Sanders,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and all that. The hype train, though, is down the tracks. Choo-choo!
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Way down the tracks there. It is, and we get it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Everyone's all excited and all that. They get the two wheels,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and he's the conductor on top, and he's blowing. his
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: own whistle, and that whole thing. Shoulder Sanders, to me,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: is the same El Monterey microwaved bean and cheese burrito
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: from last year. It's the same thing. We sampled that
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: last year, and it wasn't all that good. Just inconsistent.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Put some different Different paper, little wrapper. Changed the wrapper
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: on that. The ingredients still, you know, not that great.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Not overwhelming. Now, he gave Cleveland a couple of fireworks.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that he didn't. There were
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: some big, big pass plays. Big pass plays there for
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders. And then the Browns, though, they need someone
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: who can complete the short passes consistently and not just
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: light a Roman candle there. Every now and then, two
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: or three Roman candles, and then the rest of the time,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of duds. A lot of duds here. Now,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I realize the Marching and Chowder Society for Shadur Sanders,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the fan club, they're celebrating those big pass plays like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: NASA just landed a man on Jupiter. I don't think
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that's the same. I might be wrong on that. I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: don't believe that's exactly the same here. He had a 31%
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: success rate, Shadur Sanders, on dropbacks. That is the second
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: worst for the Browns all season, which I don't think
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: is good. Oh, you're being mean, Maller!
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'm being a schmuck. You can't build an NFL offense
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: around waiting for the opposing secondary to have a meltdown. Now,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: when you play the Saints, okay, I get it. That's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a suckbag team, the Saints. And they do make their
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: fair share of mistakes. But you live by the home
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: run and you die by the strikeout. And it's like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: getting a couple of slices of cheesecake and saying, I'm
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: going to survive on that until March. I'm just going
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to eat the two pieces of cheesecake and that's all
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do. So despite what Bill Cowher said
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: on TV, I'm not there. The Browns quarterback of the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: future is some kid in college somewhere. It is not
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders. It certainly isn't Deshaun Watson. It's a quarterback
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to be named later. So Shadur did not lock himself
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: into the job, did not handcuff himself. to qb1 status
• 22:13

• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the Packers versus Patriots should have been the Sunday night
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: football game. To me, no disrespect to the Bucs and Bears,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but I would rather listen to an hour of Andrew
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: in Bakersfield's calls than watch those two teams in primetime.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Don't say that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: You're going to.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: You're going to encourage him, and we don't want that.
• 26:34

• 26:53
  Speaker 1: one person. It's the whole staff. Sure, that's it. There
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you go. Our friend Jerry from Rhode Island says, I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: am still sick from watching the Patriots throw up all
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: over themselves, all over the field, so tired of hearing
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the same old crap come out of Drake May's mouth.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Just fix it already. There you go. Just because you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: figured out the answer does not mean you have any
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: idea how to solve The answer. Let's go to the phones.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Dan, who's out in the desert in California.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Dan?
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Welcome.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: Gentleman, good morning. How are you?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Dan, living the desert life, I see, my man.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Yes, I am, sir.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: An observation that I made earlier when I flipped on
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: the radio was listening to the guy from Bakersfield. I
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: guess it was Andre or Andrew.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, it's Andre. He's from the Commonwealth. He lives
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: out in the Cape in Massachusetts.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: All right. Well, he had a pretty good diatribe there.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: I liked it. But getting back to the pickle fans
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: in Kansas City. who don't like Harrison Bucker anymore, when
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: they were throwing beers at them, I would imagine some.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Were going right, right.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Some were going wide, wide left. It's just all, all
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Vandy Reed's doing is he's signing up Tucker to practice squad.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: So when Butker looks in his rearview mirror and thinks
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: there's a cop behind him, he's going to stay in
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: the lane. He's going to start doing it right down
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: the middle. And that's all it is. It's a psychological thing.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: How's that working out, though? Wait, wait, no. Dan, I
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: understand you're trying to go deep psychobabble. However, Tucker signed
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, and Butker still sucks. So explain that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Well, sometimes you need to take a little defensive driving course.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: That's all I can say. You know, something's got into
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: his head, and I don't know what it is. Could be,
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: you know, the gridiron does funny things to people. So
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: it's just, I don't know, maybe he should go back
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: to being a straight-on field goal kicker, you know, with
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: the square-toed shoes.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Or just go do a podcast somewhere. You can do
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: that too. Become a politician or whatever. I don't know.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Whatever he wants to do.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Andy Reid is the Dr. Phil of football.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Look at that.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I look at Andy Reid. I think of a cheeseburger.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think of Dr. Phil, but that's just me.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Dan? Alright, buddy. Enjoy the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: desert life.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: I think Butker will straighten it out.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Alright, you think that? I think he will be off
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the roster. They'll come up with an injury and Tucker
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: will be the kicker in the next Chiefs game. We'll
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: see who's right. You might.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: Be right.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: I think Tucker has some demons that he's trying to
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: shake loose. Maybe when he's getting his deep tissue massages,
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: he needs to have An officer in the room.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, Tucker? Yeah, I got you. All right, well, we'll see.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: I'm calling Butker to Tucker. Are you staying with me?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you've got to be careful. It's a slippery slope there.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You mispronounce one of those words, we get in a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: lot of trouble. So you've got to be careful.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: That's a mouthful is what that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Is, Dan.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: Say that three times real fast. Exactly.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: You've got to call me more often, Dan. You don't
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: be hiding out there in the desert. Get outside those
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: cactus and call me more often, all right?
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Well, you know what? Yeah, we do have some cactus
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: out here. There's the prickly pear cactus that people affectionately
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: call the jumping cactus. It's like when you go up
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: through Joshua Tree and the tourists are looking at the
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: jumping cactus, they actually will jump at you.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's God's honest truth.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I've never had a cactus jump at me in my life.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I've been around cactus, but I've never had them jump
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: at me.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: You've got to watch some of the old Three Stooges.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. I guess I didn't see that,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: but I loved the Stooges back in the day. All right,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: thank you, Dan. There goes Dan in the desert there
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: checking in.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: 877-99-ON-FOX.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: That's 877-996-6369. Let's go to Andy. Let's go to Andy,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: who's on the Oregon Trail. What's going on, Andy? You're
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: in the great state of Oregon. Welcome. You're on the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show on Fox.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Hello, Ben. It's always an honor when you call me
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: and ask me to be on your show.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's true. In fact, we actually call a lot. No,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: don't play. This is serious. No one would call this
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: show unless we call them and ask if they want
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to be on. Remember when we called and we were
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: doing a survey and we said, do you want to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: be on the air?
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Your people called my people, and then I said, sure.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and here we are, and it's like we're doing catapults.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: It's great. It's just wonderful.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we should be done to business. I'm here
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: in the heart of Oregon, Ducks country.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> Yeah, it's.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Been a terrible year, but it's good to know that
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: even at our worst, we can still knock the crap
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: out of the Ohio State. Those guys are so pompous
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: and so good to see them go down.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: You're taking solace in the fact, even though Oregon is not.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Even though Oregon is doing terrible this year, we just
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: knocked the crap out of those pompous.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I saw your coach after the game compared the resilience
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: of your football team to a cockroach. Are they selling
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: souvenir cockroaches at the gift shop there?
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: That dude, Dan Lanning, he's a good coach, but this
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: year he's losing the team. A bunch of the receivers
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: got in trouble and arrested for... driving fast at night.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what college kids do. I don't know if
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you know this, but they drive fast at night. That's
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: usually what happens. They like to drive fast, yeah.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: It hasn't been a problem before, so I'm like, come on, Dan.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Could be worse. He could be Georgia. That's like they're
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: running an F1 school there, the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, we could be Ohio State.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, my Lord.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Ryan Day, what a terrible coach.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a terrible coach. He's annoying, and it is enjoyable.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: The arrogance of the Buckeyes, they've been put in their
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: place here.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: You've got this face that's like he's always trying to
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: hold on a fart. He seems to let go.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe he's possible. He's got a lot of flatulence.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: He could have a lot of gas.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he does. Well, thanks for calling to have me.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: On, Ben. All right. That's right. I'll call you in
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks. We'll have you on again.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: All right, Andy?
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be there for sure.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks, buddy. Go away. There he is.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Andy.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Real quick, Van the One-Legged Bama Man. Always like when
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I see his name. Hello, Van the One-Legged Bama Man. Welcome.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Vinny, Vinny, how you doing?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I'm doing better than Calvin Ridley. Did you see what
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: happened to Calvin Ridley?
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: What happened to Calvin?
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Well, the Titans wide receiver involved in a, quote, incident
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: at the Nashville International Airport. We don't have a lot
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: of information on it. This is according to a TV
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: station in Nashville. Happened over the weekend. Titans didn't play
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: this weekend, so of course you could argue they haven't
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: played at all this year. They were on the bye week,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and the information has not come out. You want to
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: bet by the time I wake up, TMZ's going to
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: have this, or... One of the other gossip sites, the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Daily Mail, the New York Post, will have information on Calvin.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: I blew out the very first flight out of that
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: airport when they built it in the 80s.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And they have not changed the name yet. Even though Lorena,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: who was here last week, and she's not here tonight,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: but she said they called it the Dolly Parton Airport,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: they have not changed the name to the Dolly Parton
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Airport yet. False information. Fake news. That's why people don't
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: trust the media right there. What is Mr.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin's record against the University of Alabama?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: What is it? I don't know.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Not good. I know that.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: 0-6 with.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Three different teams. That's generally not good. You know what
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I love about that is Lane Kiffin brought all the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: heavy hitters out. I'm sure you saw this, man, because
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you're a fan of the one-legged Bama man, the toughest guy,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the toughest hombre. that's ever been on the show. But
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: he brought out all these LSU celebrities, and it was
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: like a big deal, right? You'd see that they lined
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: them up. You had the first lady, Melania Trump. You
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: had Libby Dunn, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Costner, and others were there,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and they got smoked.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: It's embarrassing.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we finally played a four-quarter game.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I can't stand that day, man. The only
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: good thing we had was last year and he walked
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: out on us.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you're happy then. You're in high spirits. And you
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: need to call me more often, man. We love when
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: you call in here. I know you call a lot
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: during baseball season because you like to talk about the
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Braves and all that, but it's not baseball season. It
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: might not be baseball season for a long time.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: And your Dodgers better wake up.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Nah, well, they got issues. They got some problems. But
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: they'll spend money until they allow them to spend money
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and then they'll Figure out another way.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: All right, man. Thank you, buddy. The great Van, the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: one-legged Bama man, had his leg bitten by a gator
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and then went and ate the gator. That's a man's man.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: That's extra machismo right there. All right, it's about Ben
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Maller's show. We press on. Time now for the Insta Trivia,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: and we'll get to Maller to the third degree. Here's
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the Insta Trivia. Before Caleb Williams, Blank was the last
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Bears quarterback to win a game despite throwing four interceptions. Again,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: before Caleb Williams did it in the Sunday night game
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: against Tampa, Blank was the last Bears quarterback to win
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a game despite throwing four interceptions. That is the question,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the answer. We'll get to it. We will do it next.

• 38:00
  Speaker 1: All right, time now for the payoff on the Insta trivia,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and here we go. Before Caleb Williams... was able to
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: do it on Sunday Night Football. Blank was the last
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Bears quarterback to win a game despite throwing four interceptions.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: That is the question. What's the answer? Alf the Alien
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: O'Connor going with one of the great Bears of all time,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Fozzie Bear. Waka, waka, waka. What else do we have?
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Jay Cutler from Femi, the top Uber East driver in Minnesota.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: JT the Wingman is awake outside Knoxville, Tennessee. He's going
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: with Mike Singletary. Who else do we have here? Andy
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says the great Tim Boyle is
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the answer. What else? Page down. Elvis Presley from Eileen
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Andy on the Oregon Trail from Malapropguy.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Look at that.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: He's got his name right on his jersey. Jim Harbaugh
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: from Listener Ben. Rex Grossman, Bears legend from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Trucker Joe, got to have a fall, guy. Says it's
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: the alligator that ate Van, the one-legged Bama man's leg.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: That that is the answer. Charlie Brown guessed by Mike
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the Leprechaun. That's his selection. All right, that's enough. The
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: correct answer, before Caleb Williams, Blank was the last Bears
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: quarterback to win a game despite throwing four interceptions. The answer,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the great Todd Gronkowski. Collins against Carolina 16 years ago.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Here we go.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Here we go. Here we go.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: Here we go.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Third degree. This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: And earlier this weekend, it was reported that Lamar Jackson
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: told his teammates that he plans to return this season.
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: Do you think that would be a bad idea by him?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: No, not necessarily. If he can't come back, assuming the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Ravens are actually a playoff team, which, you know, at
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: this point, it's a toss-up, Coop. Yeah, I think it'd
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: be cool if he came back. Because he's got some demons.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: As you know, the playoff Lamar Jackson is a real thing.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: He rides the vomit comet in big games in the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: playoffs more times than not.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: So.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: And that's a stigma that he's acquired over the years.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: So if he can come back and play, I'm all
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: for it. I'd much rather watch him play than Jacoby Brissett.
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: Next. The Michigan Wolverines had an ugly loss at home
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: to Michigan State. It caused them to fire their offensive coordinator,
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: Jason Beck.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: Ben, how much longer do you think Kyle Winningham has?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Well, they just hired.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Him, Coop.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, he literally just got the job. He's not
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: doing a good job. Didn't that cost that guy, it
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: was like $ 10 million I read that that's how much
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: they got to pay for the offensive coordinator. As we
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: say with all these things, Scoop, it comes down to
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: can you find a booster to cut a check? If
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you can, Adam Schefter is a Michigan booster. Maybe he
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: can cut a check.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of Michigan guys. All they need is
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: somebody to cut a check and then they'll have a
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: new coach. Next! Conflicting reports, Ben.
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: Jonathan Taylor delivered what sounded like a goodbye, but they're
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: saying that they're They're not going to trade him.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: They will trade him. What's going to happen? Oh, they
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: got to trade. What's the point of keeping him? The
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: trade deadline's on Tuesday. The Colts suck. He's a running back.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Give me one reason to keep him. How do we do, Kubalu?
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Pass this initiative.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: That is a win.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Put it on the board. Winner, winner, winner.
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: Chicken dinner.
