  Speaker 1: Boom!
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Goes the dynamite. It's our number two. Our two. Ben
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Maller Show. Fifth hour podcast this weekend. We had a
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: special tribute to the great Dale Brown, part of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. We lost Dale somewhat recently.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Tell some stories about my time working with the former
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: LSU college basketball coach in that golden era. when so
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: many college coaches were over-the-top entertaining, big personalities, and now
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: they just wear quarter zips and they're all buttoned up
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and boring. That was on the 5th Hour Podcast. Here
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in hour number two, well, paint me blue and call
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: me a smurf. The Chiefs blow an 11-point fourth-quarter lead
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: against a division rival. Why, when that happens, does everybody
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: rush to find someone to blame other than Then Patrick Mahomes.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. Is Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh showing
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: admirable loyalty to quarterback Justin Herbert and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: or is he enabling total incompetence? Says that he's not
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: going to bench his quarterback or change his offensive coordinators.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And do you believe Raiders coach Clint Kubiak when he
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: says that running back Ashton Gentry was not benched for
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: his mouth as he poked fun at some Jets defenders
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: prior to that game? We'll go there as well right now.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It's your second bite of the apple on this Monday,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the second day of November. It's hour number two. Well,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you thought the Chiefs were back. They'd bounce back in
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Denver after losing to Seattle. Not so fast. Welcome in
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
• 1:45

• 3:38
  Speaker 2: is from the Mile High City. We had an AFC West. Brujaha!
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I know Coop's smiling from ear to ear. The Chiefs
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: traveling roadshow, visiting the Mile High City thereafter. Remember the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: opener of the NFL season for the Chiefs and the Broncos,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that was a molly whopping that Kansas City put on Denver.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So it was the rematch, another play date, the last
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: one of the year, unless these teams meet again. In
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, I don't know if you saw this game
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: or not. Were you watching? It was the big game
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: over there on CBS. It was their big game. So
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you had Jim Nance and that Watt guy. Is it J.J.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Watt?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I guess J.J.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Watt.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So the Broncos. The Broncos were down 24-13 in the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter. And when the Chiefs lead by double digits
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, they win like 90-something percent of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the time. But not this time. As the Broncos came
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: all the way back, they win with their defense 28-24.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix, a couple of late touchdown drives. The much
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: maligned Bo Nix. He does deserve the maligned category. But
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: he did have a couple of late touchdown drives. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: someone named Malcolm Roach. How appropriate. As there's a Roach
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: infestation here. And Malcolm Roach sacking Patrick Holmes. As time
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: ran out. Turn out the last. The party's over. For
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the road team. And Kansas City goes down. The Broncos win.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: The better story is in the losing locker room as
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Kansas City gagged. They sucked at a time you cannot suck,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and that is a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the question. And I want to bring this up because
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the question, I'm going to frame it this way. There's
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of blaming the idiot kicker as Harrison Buckner
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: missed a 54-yard field goal in the fourth quarter in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the rain, and they're blaming him, they're blaming Andy Reid's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: coaching and all that. So here's the question. When the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Chiefs blow an 11-point fourth quarter lead, why does everybody
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: rush to find someone to blame other than Patrick Mahomes?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I noticed that. I noticed these things. I don't know
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: why I noticed these things, but I noticed these things.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: What does the industrial complex of the hot take have
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to say about Kansas City losing? And there were some
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: really bonehead plays. Really bonehead plays in that game. So
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I've got Ambassador of Papua New Guinea, Oscar de la Hoya,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and Guantanamo Bay. And we will combine all of these
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: things together. And we're going to get the ball rolling.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: We're going to get the ball rolling today. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Enough with the Patrick Mahomes excuse train. True, true. Listen,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: he blew it. He gagged. However you want to say it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean he's not a top-notch quarterback and all that stuff.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It just means that on this show, Patrick Mahomes does
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: not get diplomatic immunity. He does not. He sucked at
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a time you cannot suck. He rode the vomit comet,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: all that. And yet the mainstream established football media treat
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: him like the ambassador of Papa New Guinea. Who parked
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: his limousine on the sidewalk and you can't do anything
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: because he's the ambassador of Papa New Guinea.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you, the MPS, the Mahomes Protection Society,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: there's a large group. Mahomes Protection Society. They all get
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: together at Whataburger once a month. They have a big
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: meeting there at Whataburger. The Mahomes Protection Society. They're working
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: overtime is what they're doing on this. Somebody needs to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: give these people hazard pay.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: They do.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Mahomes had the ball down four at the Denver 18-yard line.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Needed touchdown. Touchdown. All right. First and 10, 105 left.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The Chiefs had not one but two timeouts. Two timeouts.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And they even had it first and goal to go
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: at the four-yard line of Denver with 35 seconds left
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and a couple of timeouts. Did they score a touchdown?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Hell no! They didn't score a touchdown. So for me,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: it starts with Mahomes. You're Mr. Everything. You're the franchise quarterback.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: You've got to make a play. You've got to win
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the game right there. You've got to give Kansas City
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the lead. Oh, you're being such a meanie, Maller. I know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I know. I should be like everyone else in the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: media and lick Mahomes' toes. Everyone else, oh, come on,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: put your toe in my mouth, Mahomes.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Screw that. He didn't get it done. How many points
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: did the Chiefs score in the fourth quarter? How many points?
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: None. None.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Bupkis! They put a goose egg up in the fourth quarter.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Didn't score. Didn't get it done. All right, here's Andy Reid,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: who's shockingly putting a positive spin on his team, gagging
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: up an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter against a
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: divisional opponent. Take a listen to this bullcrap.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: So listen, I thought the guys battled like crazy.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I came down to it and.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Too many penalties, had over 100 yards of penalties, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: that puts you in a bad position all the way
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: down to a touchdown right at the end. So to
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: win the game, you've got to make sure we take
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: care of that. Within that, there were some nice individual
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: things that took place. Our young rookie running back obviously
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: had a nice day and put us in a position
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: on the kickoff where we could get ourselves a scoring position.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Is this the way the world is now? Like, you
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: don't get the job done and you get celebrated? Am
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I missing something? We don't have that around here, do we?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: When did that happen? I didn't get that memo. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: always thought the whole thing about sports was they kept
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: track of who was good and who was bad, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: it's like the thing on the Jumbotron, and that's... I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: guess not. All these coaches come out. We really battled.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: We worked hard. I guess that's all that matters. The
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: fact that you lost doesn't matter. The fact that you choked...
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Very similar to the tone from Kansas City that we
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: got out of the Dallas Cowboys. Very similar. Here is
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, who did not get it done down the stretch. Again,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Chiefs had it first and 10 at the 18-yard line.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The Broncos needing a touchdown with two timeouts left. 105
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: on the clock. Did not get in the end zone.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Here's Mahomes commenting on the division. Yeah, I mean, obviously
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it was a big game.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not going to hide from that. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: now you're kind of in the dogfight for the division.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: And so you have to take it a week at
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: a time, a day at a time, a play at
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: a time, really. You just try to get better and better.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: And so at the end of the year, you're playing
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: your best football. You've put yourself in position to go
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: out there and make a run for it. Obviously, we've
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: lost these last two games against two really good football teams,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: but I was proud of how the guys battled. It
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: was perfect, but we battled, and we'll learn from it
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: and have to get better and come up to this
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: next week and find a way to get back on
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: that and the win column.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So proud. Oh, the pride. Does anyone have more pride
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: than football coaches and players? My God, they're so proud.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: They are so proud. It's like Pride Month every month
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: with these guys. Every week, it's Pride Week. They're so
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: proud of themselves. My God, imagine if they won how
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: proud they would have been if they'd actually won. Craziness.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Absolute craziness. Again, Chiefs scored no points in the fourth quarter,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: blew an 11-point lead, and there you go. So, Chiefs
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: had the Broncos on life support, and Mahomes personally plugged
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the ventilator into a toaster. You're not supposed to do that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: It's a bad job, so Shame on you. As Mahomes,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: he's got enough jewelry at this point to open up
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: a hell of a pawn shop with all the bling-bling
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: that he's got in here. Unfortunately, none of those rings,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: none of those rings could buy him a fourth-quarter touchdown
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to win the game there at the end. And even
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the great Andy Reid, as we heard. Andy Reid, same
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: bull crap. Andy Reid going on and on. Coaching genius
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Andy Reid. Big red, not his day there, period. on
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: this particular afternoon in the fourth quarter, to have stepped
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: out for lunch. He went out to get lunch and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: having Harrison Buckner attempt the 54-yard field goal in the rain.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Not his finest moment, Andy Reid. Not his finest, especially
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the thing I don't understand. And somebody explain this to me,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: because I can't figure it out. I was talking to
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: my friend Bob Fesco, who does a morning show in
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, on the Chiefs station. Bob's a great guy.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: and I've known Bob a long time, radio buddy of mine.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: We were talking about this. Andy Reid took all kinds
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: of crap for signing the creepy kicker, Justin Tucker. Like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: people were killing him. All the Wokesers were attacking Andy Reid.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: And then Andy doesn't even put Tucker on the roster.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: So he took all this crap for signing Justin Tucker
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and then doesn't even put him on the roster and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: then attempts a 54-yard field goal with the doofus who
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: you're thinking about replacing. It's just wild. I can't figure
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it out. All right, page two. To Los Angeles. Speaking
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of not being able to figure things out. Jim Harbaugh.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: What happened to Jim? Big Harbaugh guy back in the day.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: What happened to Jim Harbaugh? That's not the Jim Harbaugh
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: that I used to know. Man. Now, Jim Harbaugh, after
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the Chargers went out and dropped a deuce right at midfield,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: yet again, Jim Harbaugh says he has no plans, no
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: plans to bench Justin Herbert, despite the Chargers now 0-7. 0-7.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: 0-7 after they lose to the Rams. That is the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: worst start for the Chargers since the year 2000. Yeah.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And by the way, that was the old San Diego Chargers.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I may or may not have had sideline passes back
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: in those days to watch the Drek up close. I
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: had a hookup. I had a major hookup where I
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: was like, it was awesome. I have very fond memories
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of that. That's a long time ago, but I have
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: very fond memories of those terrible Charger teams because they
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: allowed me to run around the old Qualcomm Stadium there
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: in San Diego, the Murph, like I owned the place.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: It was great. Justin Herbert, by the way, 257 yards passing,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: zero touchdowns, and two, two interceptions yet again. Chargers have
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: now gone 27 consecutive possessions. Without a touchdown. Is that good?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I'm asking for a friend. Is that good?
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: No?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm told that is not good. So Jim Harbaugh,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: not only will he not bench Justin Herbert, he refuses
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to strip away Mike McDaniel, either firing McDaniel or removing
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: him as the offensive play caller. Again, 27 consecutive possessions
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: without a touchdown for the Chargers offense. 27. All right,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: here is Jim Harbaugh, who wants you to know, despite
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the fact the Chargers are 0-7, there's some things about
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: this team that you need to know about. Take a listen.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: There's no quit. There's no surrender. There's going to be
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: an opportunity next week, and get ourselves ready for that.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: It's that motivation. It's that dedication. Dedication, yes.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: There's next week. There's an opportunity, and we're the only ones.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: There's no place to There's no place to– there's no Appomattox.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: So you've got to keep working. You've got to keep
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: moving forward and just give it your very best. Get better.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Best.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: But there's never any quit.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Because the level of bull crap is like– you can't
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: say quit, right? If you say your team quit, they've
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: got to fire you. So you cannot say your team quit,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: even when it's obvious. Like, they're so bad. There's a
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: talent level there where if they were putting the proper
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: amount of effort in, they would not be 0-7. Does
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: anyone disagree with me on that? That if that team
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: was playing the proper way with the right effort, they
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: would not be 0-7. Everyone kind of agrees. Fine. We
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: all agree. There's Harbaugh. No, no, no quitting this team.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And the best, best means as good as all the rest.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: That was that. Here is Justin Herbert on his offensive coordinator,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel. Let's see. Is he going to rip his
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: coach or is he going to praise his coach? We'll
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: find out. Let's go to the audio tape. Here we go.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: Because I believe in him.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: We believe in him.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: He's a great coach. He's very smart.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Great coach.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: You know, it's on us as an offense to make
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: those plays. And, you know, guys are open and just
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: got to find them and make plays and score points
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: and score touchdowns.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And we haven't done that for him. Hey, when did
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel become a great coach? I must have missed that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Was I off that day? I don't remember when that happened.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Because I remember him with the Dolphins, and I don't
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: remember him being a great coach. I must have been
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: off that day. Did the Vatican announce that he was
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: a great coach? Did they have a ceremony at the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Vatican or something like that? Mike McDaniel, by the way,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a 35-33 record. According to Justin Herbert, that's a great coach.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: That is a great coach, according to Justin Herbert. Here's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, who has led the Chargers to an 0-7 record,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and despite that, will not be benched, apparently. Here are
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: his thoughts on that really spectacular, imperfect season.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: There's a lot of football left, and it's what I
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: would ask of everyone else in that locker room to
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: have a great enthusiasm, positive energy, and show up to
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: work and give their best effort, because that's what everyone
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: else is doing. For us to be able to fix this,
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: turn it around, that's what.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: We're going to have to do. Clearly. All right, question.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Is Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh showing admirable loyalty to quarterback
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, or is he
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: enabling incompetence? You make the call. All right, so this
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: one's rather obvious. Let's start with the quarterback. Justin Herbert
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: is the Oscar de la Hoya of the Chargers. What
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: does that mean? He's the golden boy.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: He is.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Imagine having that kind of job security in what we're
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: always told is an uber competitive industry. Except it always
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: seems like it's just, hey, we're playing hard. That's it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: We're playing hard and we're working hard and that's it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So it's crazy. He is literally one of the worst
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks in that business, and Jim Harbaugh keeps standing by
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: his man. It's like, open your eyes, dummy. Seriously. Herbert
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: got paid, and the Chargers got played. Period. Stop. That's it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: You're not that guy, pal. You're not that guy. You
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: look at the Chargers here, and Herbert, you do the
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Pepsi challenge. Side-by-side blind taste test. Remove Herbert's name, reputation,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and his bloated contract. There is not a man, woman,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: or child that knows even a little bit about football
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: who would say that Herbert should remain the starting quarterback.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't happen, right? He's serving a generic... Discount store Mountain
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Dew is what he's doing. It's Fountain Mist is what
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: he's serving. He's just misting around there and selling it
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: at Johnny Walker Blue prices. And yet Harbaugh treating his
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: quarterback like he's the Mona Lisa at the Louvre instead
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: of a velvet painting from a garage sale. And again,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be a meritocracy. We keep hearing about meritocracy, this, that,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and everything. And as for McDaniel... Being an offensive genius,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the only thing offensive about Mike McDaniel is his product,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the offense. McDaniel apparently is the only offensive coordinator whose
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: job gets safer every time they punt three and out
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: or get a field goal or miss a field goal.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: It's wild. He gets more job security with every incompetent
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: thing that happens to the Charger offense. It really is crazy.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: And.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: He could call plays. They could get a magic eight
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: ball and say, hey, magic eight ball, why don't you
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: call the offensive play? And Harbaugh would praise the process.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I said, well, yeah, that's a great out-of-the-box plan. That's
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the way to go. Outstanding. Simply outstanding. All right, now,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: final point. To Jersey we go, where Raiders running back
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Ashton Gentry has been benched. He received a career-low two carries.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: That's it. Just nine yards. Vegas playing another tomato can,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and they ended up beating the Jets there in that game.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak, the coach... of the Raiders defended the decision, saying, quote,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: that's my call. He insisted that Ashton Gentry remains an
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: important part of the Raiders' future bullcrap. Excuse me. It
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: was a little thing.
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: Bullcrap.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Anyway, rookie Mike Washington Jr. became the featured back. He
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: had 83 yards. He averages 3.3 yards. per carry for
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the Raiders. Ashton Genting, that's the story. As previously, he
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: claimed that certain Jets defenders didn't want to tackle. He
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: said that in the lead-up to the Jets game with
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the Raiders. Kubiak denying that those remarks influenced his decision.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So here's the question. Do you believe Raiders coach Clint
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Kubiak when he says that running back Ashton Genting was
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: not benched for his fat mouth?
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: So I am shaking my head no in terms of
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: my level of belief. I'm shaking my head like it's
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: a bobblehead driving down a gravel road in the backwoods.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Just a real gravelly road. You expect me to believe
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that Ashton Gentry runs his mouth about the Jets not
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: wanting contact and then... All of a sudden, out of
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: thin air, by total cosmic coinkydink, the Raiders decide, yeah,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: we'll only give this guy two carries. Come on. Seriously.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: You gotta be some kind of naive to think that
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: these two things are not related. And Kubiak insisting it's
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: purely a football decision... Now, let me use my Malheur
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Rosetta Stone to translate what that means. That means that
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak knows a large percentage of the Raider fan
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: base are knuckle-dragging Neanderthals that'll believe anything he says. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: so he will lie to your face, and you idiots
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: will believe whatever he says because he's the coach of
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the Raiders, and you believe the coach of the Raiders.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Good luck on that. We have something called critical thinking
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: on this side of the microphone. I recommend it. It's
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: not that common these days. You can talk the talk
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: if you walk the walk, and that's the problem. Ashton
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Gentry talked the talk. He hasn't been able to walk
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the walk. He's averaging 3.1 yards per carry. Ashton Gentry,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the Raiders putting his mouth on timeout. They sent him
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: on a nice tropical vacation to Guantanamo Bay and thought, hey,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: we'll give you a couple of carries. We'll let you
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: watch the rest of the game. Why not? And this
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: is looking like yet another draft debacle for the Raiders.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: A draft disaster. And Tom Brady is responsible. Yeah, Tom Brady,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the de facto general manager of the Raiders, is His
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: fingerprints are all over the crime scene, and his DNA
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: is splattered across the entire draft board, Tom Brady. Now,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: he has plausible liability because he hired his stooge buddies
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: to run the Raiders day to day, but you think
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Tom's not involved in the final say on who they draft?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Come on. Please, Ashton Gentry was supposed to be the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: bell cow back, the difference maker, the next great Raider
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: running back, all that stuff. And you don't draft a
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: guy with the sixth overall pick to bench him in
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: a random week here in week eight of the NFL season.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: You just don't do that. Obviously, it was his mouth.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: If he was playing good, they'd look the other way.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: The Raiders, they'd say, all right, he's a good player.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: He can say what he wants. He obviously is not
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: that good. So as a result, you get what you get.

• 27:30
  Speaker 2: old morning guy. Mark Patrick Sports. He was a morning

  Speaker 2: show guy years ago. Who else do we have? Let's see.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Page Dan, late night drug tester, writes in, says the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Chargers actually spent some money on coaching. They get worse results.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Bring in Phillip Rivers to take over. Eileen in San

  Speaker 2: Francisco says F Mahomes. There you go. Reggie, Army veteran,

  Speaker 2: our friend of the show there in Minnesota, says, nothing
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: makes me happier than Andy Reid losing. I hope it continues. Well,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: you've had a good couple of weeks. You've had a
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: good couple of weeks. Michael in Tulsa writes and says, Ben,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: is it possible to do me a solid and, I
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: don't know, I don't think you have to buy a
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: commercial or something. He wants us to mention some business,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: but we're not able to. We actually have advertisers that
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of money on that, so The company
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: does not like us to promote businesses unless they write
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: a fat check. Then they love that. When you write
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: a big fat check, they love for us to talk
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: about your business. Coach Cliché comes in and says, Kyler
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Murray is a complete dumpster fire. The Vikings are wasting
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: a generational talent with Jefferson. He should demand a trade.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: That's a hot mess. I tried to tell you. I
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: was getting some crap from our friends in Minnesota. I
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: thought you liked Minnesota. Why did you not praise? You
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: should have praised the Vikings.
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the phones. It is a
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: call-in show. Let's say hello. Let's go to Crenshaw, who's
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: in L.A., which is also a street in L.A. What's
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: going on, Crenshaw? Welcome.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Man, what's going on, Big Ben, Lorena, and Koopa Loop?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Crenshaw, where you at, man? What do you got going on?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: What's going on with you?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Man, I got a prayer proposal before that, though. Let
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: me tell my dad that I'm on the live.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Air.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: We got to let Crenshaw's dad know right now.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, Dad, I'm on.
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: You're on? Yeah, I'm on, man. I'm going to meet
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: your brother now.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: All right, but Joe. What's your old man doing here?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: What's he up to?
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: He don't listen to you on iHeart.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: My dad, he's asleep right now.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: But I just woke him up.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You just woke your dad up? Come on.
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Me and my dad have been listening to you for
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: over 10 years, man.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first time calling, though.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: What really made the call today was.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I had an idea.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: I'm a Colts fan.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: I live in L.A.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: But we ain't got– the Colts are tanking.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: For no reason.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: We don't got no draft picks. I mean, there's nothing.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: So why not the Chargers trade for Jonathan Taylor and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: give us their pick? They not don't get rid of,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you know, their quarterback. So they might as well go
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: ahead and get Jonathan Taylor and have something to hope for.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Well, Crenshaw, that's a great idea. You know who the Chargers,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: where they would be drafting? There's no lottery in the NFL.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: You know where the Chargers pick would be? Well, yeah,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That would be the number
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: one pick in the draft. They would be trading the
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: number one pick in the draft at 0-7 for a
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: running back. That is outrageous.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: A running back, though.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: A proven running back.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I understand, but do you understand the top, I don't
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: know who the top quarterback is. It changes by the
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: week in the NFL draft and who the heck knows
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: who it's going to be, but Yeah, that's not happening. Now,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: a better idea, and I'm going to toss this out later.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: How about Daniel Jones to the Vikings? How about that?
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Trade Daniel Jones to the Vikings and get a draft
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: pick in return. The Vikings don't have a quarterback, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones did spend a little time in Minnesota after
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: he left the Giants. That seems realistic that you could
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: trade him to Minnesota and get, you're not going to
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: get a lot for him, but you get something and
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: he can't play. You admit he can't play, right? Daniel
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Jones stinks now?
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no. Nobody can play on the Colts, but... Yeah?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy. The running back.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Taylor.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonathan Taylor.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: But so where would you send him? Jonathan Taylor? Well, listen,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: the Giants are the obvious one, right? They need help
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: in the backfield. The Giants have a team that can
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: win the division in the NFC East. That's a no-brainer.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: You could also argue Minnesota, because they need some help there.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: But where would you get the most from him at? Like,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: you know, draft capital.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Well, it depends who offers them all. I mean, you
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: just shop them around, and then whoever offers the most,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: you wait until– I would wait until the last minute,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and then– All right, Crenshaw, listen, thank you for calling.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Call me again. Tell your old man you call in, too.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Let's make the whole family call in, all right? Hey,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: All right, buddy, thank you.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: All right, there it was, Crenshaw. He wants the Chargers
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: to trade the top pick in the draft for a
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: running back at 0-7. Let's say hello to eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Danny DeVito, who's in the Boston area. Hello, Danny.
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: Welcome.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: We have Mallard to the third degree coming up in
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit. What's going on, Danny?
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: Ben, what's going on? So I had a tough day
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: of the weekend with these college games and pro football,
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: but it happens every now and then, Ben.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: Justin Herbert is terrible. I remember a couple years ago,
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: a couple short years ago, they were saying this guy
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: was Elway, the next Elway, blah, blah, blah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, he is.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: I was watching that game. Some of those throws in
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: the second half, those picks, were absolutely terrible. I don't
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: know if you've seen that, if you haven't.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw, I saw. He threw it almost like
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: he was playing catch with one of the Ram defensive
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: backs on that second interception that he threw. He was
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a perfect pass if it was his wide receiver, but
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was that bad.
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: And what did you do this weekend on these games?
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: You bet college, too, or you just bet pros?
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: No, I just do the NFL. I enjoy college, but
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I don't bet on college. Yeah, I keep– it's like
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I'm 500. I can't get over the– you know, I
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: bet on every game. We pick every game against the spread.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: And so right around 500 again, I think I need
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the Monday night game. I took the Bears on the
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Monday night game on Benny versus the Penny, so. I
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: need them to win, and then I'm like 500 again.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: So it sucks. I haven't had one. Yeah, you lose
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: money on the juice because you don't win. All right, well,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you checked in, Danny. I'm sorry you had
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: a bad one.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: I was supposed to meet Blind Scott a couple months ago, Ben,
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: and he was supposed to be at a party for
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: a sports hub over here, and he never showed up.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: I mean, I was supposed to meet that guy. I
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: wanted to meet that character, so he got called.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: You'll definitely remember Blind Scott if you meet Blind Scott.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Very memorable meeting with Blind Scott. All right, well, Let
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: us know if you meet. I can set that up.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I have his number. I can set that up if
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: you want. Let's say hello to Wild Bill, who's in Vegas.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: There he is right there. I cannot understand anything he's saying. Hello,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Wild Bill.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Hey, I'm in a restaurant.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I can't hear you.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Say hello to Sean the Hood Guy, my friend. Sean
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: the Hood Guy, I've met him. He's been in the studio. Hello,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Sean the Hood Guy. Welcome.
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: Hey, what's up, Ben, man? You know I had to
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: call in, man. You know how we handle our business today.
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: But you see, I did Cleveland Browns and had to
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: understand after the game because they were talking mess through
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: the media the whole week what they was going to
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: do to us. We don't do all that talking. We
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: leave it all on the field. And we left it
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: on the field and we dominated today.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: We don't do that.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Well, you used to do that. When you had Antonio Brown,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: you'd do stuff like that.
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah, a little bit. But, you know, he was pretty good.
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: That's why we were saying certain things. But, you know, but...
• 35:37
  Speaker 11: We don't talk mess. We handle our business. When you
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: badmouth the Steelers in the media, we're going to handle you.
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: If you disrespect the terrible tie on your shoes, we're
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: going to get you. So we just left it all
• 35:47
  Speaker 11: on the line, man, and we're doing pretty good. I'm
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: not going to call too much to be bragging because
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: I don't like to do that, but when we lose,
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: you know I'm going to.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Call and get a man.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Listen, it was very kind of the Browns to set
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: you guys up. Their first two possessions, fumble, fumble. That
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: was very kind of them. They didn't have to do that.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: It was very generous. of them to give you the
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: ball a couple of you missed a field goal to
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: start the game after they fumbled and gave it to
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: you but then you scored a touchdown so I guess
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: the romance of Deshaun Watson, I know he had 300
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: yards or something like that, but he didn't have a
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass.
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and getting sacked eight times, too, right?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: So I guess that means the love affair is down.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem, Sean, real quick. I don't have a
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: lot of time, but don't you think this is the
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: same exact scenario we saw with Mike Tomlin, that the
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Steelers are going to win a bunch of regular season games,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: but then when they match up in the playoffs with
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Buffalo and some of these high-powered teams, they're not going
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: to be able to compete?
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: No.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: It's like the same thing. It's just they got rid
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: of Tom. They brought in McCarthy. It's the same deal.
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it was a picture going around like a Scooby-Doo
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: picture where Freddie snatched a mask off of Tom and
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: it was Mike McCarthy. So, you know, that's how it goes, man.
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: They say they're the same players or the same coach,
• 36:58
  Speaker 11: but they're not. I see the same players from a
• 37:00
  Speaker 11: long time ago on the same different teams, but... He's
• 37:03
  Speaker 11: just fine, man. And Tom has been doing his thing
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: on TV, so we're not even worried about him anymore.
• 37:08
  Speaker 11: We're just trying to get past getting the playoffs, at
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: least win one game. We were getting to the playoffs
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: with him, and we wasn't getting nothing. So it was
• 37:16
  Speaker 11: time for change.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I hear you. I hear you. All right, I've got
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: to leave you there. Call me again. We love when
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: you call, so call me more often. The great Sean
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the Hood guy there checking in from L.A. Straight ahead,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: we have the Insta trivia, the Bengals draft. Joe Burrow

• 37:33

• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Here is the Insta trivia. And away we go. Bengals
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: quarterback Joe Burrow becoming the second QB in history. 450
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: or more passing yards, five passing touchdowns, and a rushing
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: touchdown in one game. Blank was the first and only
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: other quarterback to do it. That is the question. What
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: is the answer? What do we have here? Jeff Hostetler
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: from ALF, the alien opiner. Jordan Love, who is 28 today,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: from late-night drug tester. Walter Brennan from Kevatomic in Alaska.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Who else do we have? Paige Dan, can't read that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Andy in Lionel Lake says he heard it earlier, so
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: he won't cheat. Do you have an answer, Lorena? Boosie
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: the beaver! No, it's Norm Van Brocklin in 1951. Norm
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Van Brocklin. Here we go.
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: It's Mallard.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: To the third degree.
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: This.
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: Is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: The Koopa Loop. It's not going to cost you an
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: arm and a leg. It's Mallard to the third degree.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Koopa Loop.
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: Ben, last call in that trivia was a perfect lead
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: into my first question.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: Oh, good, good.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, the Steelers... beat the Browns in their first place
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: in the division.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: You said you don't think they would go far in
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: No. But are they the best team in the division?
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: Record aside, do you think they're the best team?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Are they the best team? Well, yes. At this moment, yes.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: They are the best team in the division because the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Ravens have been eliminated without Lamar Jackson. The Bengals defensively
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: forget about it. You see that game?
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They're a joke. And Cleveland, you never take Cleveland. Yeah.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: So by default, they are. That doesn't mean they're going
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: to win anything. They're not. The Bengals in that game.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Tennessee scored 36 points in that game against the Bengals defense.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: And Cam Ward had 304 yards passing. Next.
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: Over the weekend, USC had a huge upset over number
• 40:27
  Speaker 10: two Ohio State.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: The men of Troy. Do you think that win saved
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley's job?
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: No.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: No, because UCLA across town is in the top five
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: in college football right now. Even though they're drawing flies
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: at the Rose Bowl, they're still in the top five.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine how embarrassing that's going to be, Coop?
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: If UCLA ends up getting to the playoff and USC doesn't,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: or if UCLA somehow, God forbid, wins like Indiana did
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: last year?
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: Next!
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: The Knicks have had a tough start to the season.
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: Josh Hart said, we all feel the fatigue, but we
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: have to fight through it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: What fatigue is he talking about? Well, all the chicks
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: and all the money and all, you know, we win
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: a championship in New York, they kiss your ass. The
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: canyon of kiss ass for the Knickerbockers. It's pathetic. That
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: was a one-hit wonder of the Knicks. How'd we do, Coop?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: You passed this edition. That's a winner! Winner, winner, winner!
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: Chicken dinner!
• 41:24
  Speaker 10: Woo!
