Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
A game we were not planning on discussing too much,
and here we are. We go where the stories take
us on the Ben Malers Show and our lead from
Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas had a big F
one race in Vegas and that was over the weekend.
And then they had an NFL game that featured two
(00:53):
morbid franchises, the Factory of Sadness Road Show visiting Sin
City for a one day, one day sore in Vegas. Now,
why would this game get top billing here in hour
number three?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Why? Oh why?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
All because of the Spaun of Dion, the spawn of Dion,
the much ballyhood first start for everyone's favorite fifth round
draft pick currently playing in the NFL, Shedur Sanders making
his first appearance as QB number one from beginning of
(01:34):
the Cleveland going against Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Oh my, what an epic quarterback matchup that was. Did
you watch? Of course you didn't watch it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, maybe you watch it was regional coverage, but most
people watch multiple games, right you got that you pay
extra for that bougie YouTube thing.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You watch all the games, So maybe not. Though no worries.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
This game was was in our rotation, was in our
rotation as Brown's rookie sherder Sanders.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
He did not have the sexiest of stat lines.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He finished with two hundred nine yards passing in a
touchdown in his NFL starting debut for the team from Cleveland.
And Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett, how's he doing? He's doing good?
Good player, bad team. Good player, bad team, good player,
bad team. Miles Garrett three of the ten sacks ten
(02:26):
sacks the Browns had against Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Oh God, does he sucked?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Is he bad? Wow? Anyway, so that was the story.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The Browns end up winning the game in the game
that really wasn't all that close, shockingly as you would
think that team would be close. Both teams stake, but
it really wasn't all that close. Browns are three to eight.
They ended a three game skid mark for the Cleveland
Browns there, and they started their forty second forty second
(02:57):
different quarterback since returning to the NFL in nineteen ninety nine.
The old Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens. It's all confusing.
Sanders replaced fellow rookie Dylan Gabriel, who was in the
concussion protocol so it was not available, and in doing
so well, he ended shoulder. Sanders ended a seventeen game
(03:21):
losing streak for Cleveland quarterbacks, making their first start. We
had that at the end of last week. I think
that was the who Am I?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Game?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Before the game, though, Shooter Sanders in the lead up
to the game, he said he wanted to show the
Browns that he's who they've been looking for. Well, here's
a shoulter talking about the expectations, what he was looking
to accomplish.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Here we go. What do you hope to.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Show against this Raiders defense, your teammates, yourself, and these
Browns fans with their play.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Today, I'm who they've been looking for. Appreciate it. Okay,
thank you, thank you? Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
question Shouldeur Sanders. As you heard there, he wanted to
show the Browns that he's who they've been looking for.
Did he do that?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Did he? Did he do that? All right? So I've
got on this one.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I've got time capsule as tech, and we also have onion,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Baba Ganooche. We're gonna make
the Baba Ganooche. So my first thought here is that
this is a if. It's a sales pitch by should Sanders.
(04:38):
The sales pitch.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Went a little sideways. Well, they won the game. When
you're talking about what are you such a hater?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeh shoulder Sanders showed Cleveland that he is not totally incompetent.
He's still better at YouTube and TikTok and occasionally he
can find someone named Dylan Samson or Isaiah Bond on
a broken play and get a bunch of yards. Congratulations
(05:07):
on my scorecard, the malor scorecard, should Sanders, he made
two place, two place, and that means he's like every
other Browns quarterback. Occasionally it's the old line of a
blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, Well,
Shouldhur Sanders occasionally will find a big pass play. On
(05:28):
my scorecard, he had a fifty two yard pass play
and a sixty six yard pass play for a touchdown,
And those are good highlights.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Those are nice highlights and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Outside of those plays, though, Shouldhur Sanders completed fifty percent
of the other passes that he attempted fifty percent averaged
five yards per pass attempt outside the two broken plays.
So the rest of the time, this was a time
capsule game. Now what was the time capsule the time
(06:01):
capsule game, go back a few years. It felt like
Tim Tebow watching Tim Tebow playing with the Malibu sunglasses.
That's essentially what this was here, Tim Tebow time two
point zero is what it felt like.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
At a lot of hype.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You got a guy get a lot of publicity here,
a lot of hey, this guy's so good, Oh my god,
I hadnt done it yet, And he got a lot
of hype, and then not a lot there, not a
lot of meat on the bone. And let's not forget
that Shader Sanders was not going against the two thousands.
Ray Lewis Ravens defense.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
He was not. He was not going against the legion of.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Boom defense, although they have Pete Carroll who put that
team together back in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
In Seattle. There were a couple of fireworks.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Kaboom, kurfui, a couple of fireworks, and then there were
some medicine balls he threw into the turf. There was
some of that. And let's not forget also that the Raiders,
they have a middling defense. There's zero fear factor when
you talk about the Raiders defense in this game. And
Shoulder's passer rating. Again, we're judging him based on the
(07:12):
full body of his work and we're not just saying, well,
what about the two big pass plays, because okay, those
are broken place the consistent connecting on passes, driving the ball,
leading the team down the field. He didn't do any
of that. He just didn't. There was none of that.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
For Shuder Sanders.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So outside of those two broken plays, he had a
forty one point six passer rating, which I'm told is
not good, and you don't need analytics to know that
generally stinks.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
That's just kind of a way that it is.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The Browns had two hundred and seventy two hundred and
seventy total yards, eleven first downs. Three of those were
gifted by penalty from the Raiders. That means the Browns
offense with Shude Sanders, by my computer life, they had
all of eight first downs that were not gifted to
them by incompetence of malfeasans by the Raiders. You're supposed
(08:08):
to be the future of the franchise, supposed to be
the future of the franchise, Shooter Sanders, and you're getting
with five yards of pass and you had eight first
downs in the game. That's generally not what you're looking for. Now,
what you're looking for that is a pop gun offense
is what that is? Not even a water gun. That's
a pop gun offense by the Browns. So did Shooter
(08:31):
Sanders prove that he's what the Browns are looking for?
That would be Ann with the Capitol Enn with the
Capitol end.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
No, of course, not.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Bernie Kozar who just got a new liver. Bernie Kozar
could have gone out there in his sleep and would
have while ordering Uber eats from Femi who came down
from Minnesota, and still would have done at least as
well as that. The malor report card on Shooters.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'm not I'm not gonna be outraged. Am I gonna
give him an A? No, he's not an A, A, B, A, C,
D and F No, none of that.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I give Shitara Sanders an I for incomplete.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
The report card is incomplete. I give an eye. Did
he drown? No, no, he didn't drown. He didn't drown.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Did he swim No, not really. I wouldn't call that swimming.
He floated. He had some water wings on, some floaties,
and so that's good. He had the floaties. Good for him.
And uh and and the rounds gotta win, which is
I guess exciting for them.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
They're happy about that.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And I guess the lifeguard didn't really need to go
into the water too much. And so there's that.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And is he the QB one. We'll see about that now.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Meanwhile, a lot of news from the Raiders as they
made some headlines after the game, not any during the game.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
On the Vegas side, the.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Raiders said bye bye to offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and
don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord
split you as you're out, chip Kelly whack. What a
great gig for Chip Kelly. Holy crap, I'm so jealous
of chip Kelly. So chip Kelly fired hours after the
Raiders dropped to two and nine on the season, and
(10:19):
they lose to the Browns by a couple of touchdowns.
So chip Kelly is the fall guy. Gotta have a
fall guy. Raiders made Chip Kelly the highest paid offensive
coordinator in the NFL this season, and the Raiders have
been not only a football team, they've been absolutely dismal
(10:40):
on offense.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
How bad is it?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
The loss to the Browns was their fifth straight, and
congratulations to Raider nation. You have clinched your fourth consecutive
losing season. And but wait, there's more, eighteenth losing season
since the year twenty oh two, which means, if you're
in your early twenties, your entire life the Raiders have sucked.
(11:05):
Like your entire life the Raiders material like. I'm kind
of old, and when I was a kid, the Raiders
were great. They won all the time, They had really
good teams every year, they were in the playoffs seemingly
every year. And now, god, they bad Raiders through eleven games.
Through eleven games, their offense is ranked thirty if in
the NFL. I'm told that's not good. Two hundred and
(11:26):
sixty nine yards per game, that is ranked thirty first
in the NFL. They're averaging less than sixteen points per game.
So the question what intrigues you? What intrigues you the
most about Chip Kelly being whacked as the Raiders offensive coordinator.
So the thing that intrigues me the most is the
(11:48):
Tom Brady part of this story. He is getting a
full pardon by the other elites in the media. We're
not part of the mainstream. We do an overnight show.
We've been very critical of Tom Brady. He deserves it.
He's done a terrible job. He's the Michael Jordan of
NFL owners. He said, well, he only owns a small
part of it. Well, Mark Davis didn't know what he's doing.
(12:09):
Mark Davis is like, listen, I just want to eat PF.
Chang's and I want to date younger women and play
slot machines at the airport.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And Tom, why don't you this is your baby, why
don't you run this thing? And Tom's like, Okay, I'll
run it. And so Tom Brady's acting like an Aztec here.
He's doing the human sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Is what he's doing, and.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
We saw the fact that he does own just a
small part of the Raiders, but it's enough where he's
the general manager by proxy. He hired his old college
buddy to be the general manager of the Raiders and
take care of a lot of the day to day stuff,
but any big decisions tom Brady's involved in. So you've
got that tom Brady handpicked the coach and the quarterback
(12:50):
who appeared to be washed up. The coach and the
quarterback at the same time there, and so you.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Look around, and first it was.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
The the special teams guy, as tom Brady's standing there
every few weeks now and he's dropkicking someone in the
actual black hole.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It was the special teams coach a couple weeks back.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Now it's the offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly, as he's out.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
So Chip Kelly is gone. He's gone.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And so if you work on this staff with the Raiders,
keep your resume updated and keep the car running in
the parking lot there at the Raider facility in Henderson,
the Grim Reaper wears uggs and has a big basket
of TB twelve electrolytes. If you want some of those,
he'll give chip Kelly was the highest paid offensive coordinator
(13:38):
in football this year, and the Raiders are thirtieth in offense,
thirty first in scoring. That is a refund situation. And
chip Kelly's got two more years at twelve million totals,
so six million a year not to coach the Raiders.
Man and I mentioned the average a little over fifteen
(14:01):
points a game the Raiders. That makes you qualified. If
chip Kelly wants to coach the Iowa Hawkeyes, he can
coach Iowa and the Big Ten. That's about Iowa Hawkeye territory.
Fifteen points per game. There as a low blow. I'm
pretty sure chip Kelly did not forget how to coach.
He was part of the Ohio State staff that won
the championship last year.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And with Vegas. You look around the room there with Vegas,
and he is attempting to polish turds and guess what
spider alert? Spider alert.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Chip Kelly's trying to polish turds and there's supply chain
issues at the turd polish factory, so he's run out
of turd polish unfortunately. There and the theme song for
the Raiders this season, as bad as it's gotten, is
a Toby Keith Classic the Wacky Tobacci because a lot
of those guys with the Raiders are smoking the Wacky
(14:54):
Tobacci right now. Chip Kelly's gone, the scoreboard hasn't changed,
and they had to have a new fall guy. Have
a new fall guy. The Raider assistants, they must be
checking their pulse hourly there if you're an assistant coach
with the Raiders, the Silver and Black disease remains undefeated.
And is this going to be a one and done
(15:17):
situation for Pete Carroll? Are they going to remove Pete Carroll?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
They've already undermined Pete.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
They got rid of there's the tripod, right, You've got
the coach, but then you've got the tripod.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You've got the.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Defensive coordinator, the offensive coordinator, the special teams, coach coordinators.
So they've gotten rid of two of the three. Two
of the three they've gotten rid of. That means that
Pete Carroll is on the short list. Then he would
be the next guy to go. Now, final thought, staying
with the game and the Raiders and the Browns. Not
(15:49):
only did Chip Kelly get whacked, the man that's responsible,
the coach killer, as we like to call him, Gino
Smith there totally incompetent. Camera's caught in over his head,
in over his head, drowning Raider quarterback Geno Smith, who
decided he had had enough. The man who's known legendary
(16:09):
mister softy, Geno Smith cannot handle any criticism, and he
decided he wanted to clap back at some fans that
were giving him the business after the humiliation situation, losing
it home by two touchdowns, getting sacked ten times Geno Smith.
The sack is a quarterback stat So as Smith was
(16:30):
shane his way off the field there in Vegas, the
fans were serenading him, goofing on him, making fun of him.
And as he was making his way to the tunnel well,
Gino Smith was caught on candid camera and he was
flipping off some of the heckling Raider fans there. You
(16:50):
can see him doing it in slow mo.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
His video that's gone viral. Even our friend Inka Terror
who's blind, has seen that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Question, how do you read how do you read Geno
Smith and his one finger salute one finger salute to
some some Raider fans, not Browns fans, Raider fans. So
they been saying they've been saying over the years. The
fish rots from the head down. In the case of
the Las Vegas Raiders, it rots from their thirty seven
(17:23):
and a half million dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Quarterback on the way down.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
There's a lot of brain rot there with Geno Smith
hyper sensitive.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Onion, he's onion skinned. Gino overly emotional. He's for klemped
sacked ten times. You know how bad a quarterback you
have to be to be sacked ten times? Like you
should you should go get another job if you're that
bad at your job.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
But what about the other julyne Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Shut up, you don't know ball. You don't know ball.
Ten sacks and then flip your own fans off as
you're coming off the field. That's your franchise quarterback right there.
That's the Raiders, And that's the face that Pete Carroll
decided that he wanted to go into his bunker. He said,
(18:14):
I want that guy. He's the ultimate bunker buster, and
Geno Smith he is so Gino looks like the world's
most expensive crash test dummy as he continues to amaze
on a weekly basis. Here as the pressure is mounting,
and when the pressure mounts, Gino just gifts raps. So
the sack Browns have a good defense. This is a
(18:36):
historical game for the Cleveland Browns, and so you look
around the sack again. As a quarterback statistic, he isn't unlikely, unlucky.
Gino is slow. And there's another quarterback who's not very
good but avoids sacks now, Davis Mills. We saw him
with the Texans back on Thursday, same crappy offensive line
(18:57):
in Houston, which everyone said is terrible. Just get get
rid of the ball, quicker, throw the ball away, and
you play a clean game. Don't get sacked one time.
Not one time do you get sacked. Not one time
do you get sacked. And then in this game, well
yeah ten times. Because Gino doesn't know what the hell
he's doing on a lot of these plays, and it's
a shame. You hold the ball like you're waiting for
(19:20):
for Shakespeare to finish writing Act three, and you're like,
I gotta he's writing it on the ball, So I'm
just gonna wait for Shakespeare to finish. Well, Shakespeare's dead,
it doesn't matter. I'm gonna wait for him to finish.
I want him to finish and the moment right now,
in this moment, we worry about today's show. You look
at Gino Smith, who is thirty first in the NFL,
(19:45):
thirty first in the NFL among quarterbacks. He's behind Davis Mills,
the aforementioned Davis Mills, barely ahead of Dylan Gabriel who
was taken out with a concussion. And so Gino's not
just playing bad, that would be okay. He's becoming a
coach killer. As we mentioned previously, the Raiders getting rid
of some coaches here, and the middle finger that was
(20:07):
not really for the fans so much as that middle
finger was for Chip Kelly. Go to the guillotine. Chip,
your number one in line at the g. So the
Raiders thought they hired a savior and Pete Carroll and
they had paid big money for Chip Kelly and all
this stuff, and now they have a thirty seven and
a half million guy, a quarterback who can't play, who's
(20:30):
an emotional landmine in Geno Smith. And superstars run all
of these pro sports leagues. And when your star detonates
in slow mo, that's a no go. That's a no go.
You don't have a quarterback, you a lot of turbulence.
There's a lot of turbunance there with Gino Smith.

Or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So our lead this hour, don't bury the lead, my
man heart or not. So the final game of the
weekend in the NFL, it is all over, just a
couple days off in the right back add it on Thanksgiving,
so it's just a brief pause in the NFL continues.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
But our lead this.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Hour from Santa Clara, not San Francisco. Santa Clara That
is where the forty nine ers play their home games.
Forty five miles or so as a crow flies south
of San francisc coach only take you about three hours
with traffic, so this was the site of the final
game of the weekend. There came to an end. The
(22:12):
curtain came down. You had Bryce Young and the Panthers
skinning in to the Bay Area for a wrestling match
with Brock Party.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Oh my aching Towe.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well he's back. Brock Party and the forty niners. Perty
missed a bunch of time with a messed up toe,
but he's back. This game was billed as the Christian
McCaffrey Revenge Game. It's all about the revenge. Did you
watch No, okay, you didn't miss anything. I'm not gonna
sit here and light you. Oh you should have seen
(22:45):
this game. Oh my god, No, I'm jealous. I mean
I did get paid to watch it. In theory, plausibly
got paid to watch it. But man alive. So Christian McCaffrey,
he hits the billing. I think it was his greatest game.
He had one hundred and forty two yards from scrimmage,
touched the ball a ton ended up with one hundred
and forty two yards from scrimmage, scored a touchdown in
his first matchup against the team that he played for
(23:09):
that gave him away. They give him away, they got
draft picks, scratcherr tickets, but that was the deal. A
couple of years back, McCaffrey went from Carolina to San
Francisco after he got paid by the Panthers and then
proceeded to get hurt on a regular basis, so his
first game there three years ago. Niners haven't won any
championships with Christian McCaffrey, and he's been very productive for them.
(23:33):
The Niners get the ugly twenty to nine win the
final over the Panthers. McCaffrey gets the Niners with his
performance to eight and four on the season. They were
able to overcome the systemic and competence of Brock Party,
who threw not one, not two, but three interceptions earlier.
(23:53):
Holy Ernesto in the Bay our guy there, big forty
nine er fan not happy with Rock Party, but they
are still in playoff position. The Niners with that eighth
win heading into the stretch run of the regular season,
and down the stretch we go in the NFL. Now,
the better story is in the losing locker room. Carolina
had an opportunity, somehow, some way, Carolina had a shot
(24:17):
to move into the penthouse of the outhouse, which is
the NFC South. If they had won this game, ifs
and butts were candy and nuts, it'd be Christmas every day.
It's not so. Bryce Young went out there and better
story in the losing locker room?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
How did he do?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Bryce Young failing yet again, yet again to get the
job done. The former number one.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Overall traffick had one hundred and sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Nine yards, barely had that one touchdown, and not one
but two interceptions. That is a good jumping off points
to Let us discuss the question, how do you evaluate
Bryce Young's performance for Carolina in a game that was
certainly winnable. It's not like the Niners were that great.
(25:05):
The game was right there for the taking in Carolina
unable to take it. So my views on this, I've
got Panda, Express, Zoo Animal and Express pros and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
gonna put the biscuit in the basket, is what we're
gonna do.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Just put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So hey, we'll start with this, the Carolina Panthers watching
them play, and I don't watch every game, and I
flip around.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
They usually play in the early TV.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Window on Sunday, But watching the Carolina Panthers play, it's
like a Nantucket's sleigh ride watching them play. They hooked
the whale. They thought they hooked the whale, Bryce Young,
and now they're getting dragged every week.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Every week they're getting dragged.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
And this was another opportunity to prove the haters wrong
and prove that you knew what you were doing. Instead,
he proved them right. He proved them right with this performance.
It was an I game. Everyone was watching. Everyone was
watching against a battle scarred, weather beaten defense. They did
(26:09):
have Fred Warner and Nick Bosa in the stadium. They
happened to be watching while eating nachos and popcorn in
luxury boxes.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
They showed him on the TV. They were not playing,
They were.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Not playing in the game, and the Niners brock Perty
tried to hand the game to Carolina.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Try to give him the game. Here's the game. We
don't want the game. Take the guy, take the guy.
And what happened?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Well, the quarterback there, Bryce Young's like, you know what,
it's very plays, very plout of you. Try to give
us the game. You know what, we don't really want
that big road win. No, we why would we want that?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
To Come on?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Bryce, Now, we're good, We're here's here's another punt. We're
gonna punt the ball. Knock yourself out, enjoyed the ball.
My god, what a debacle, What an absolute debacle watching Bryce.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Young try to play quarterback.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And then, as many it pointed out, he's very robotic.
You can tell he's been schooled. I don't know whether
it was Nick Saban or the people that are writing
his coattails making their living off his performance. And you know,
his posse of people that are around him. All these
athletes have groups of people that are hangers on, and
somebody gave him the sports cliche one oh one rhetoric.
(27:27):
I saw his news. Gonna be very robotic is the
word I keep going back to. Anyway, here's a little
taste of Bryce Young talking about the trip back to
North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Playing right back's gonna suck. I don't even know if
we have the twenty four hour luxury now when it's
you know, we're all competitors. It sucks to have this
outcome again. We don't have luxuries to think about big picture.
You think that that's that's not a good recipe for
this league. Everyone demands our most intention so we'll fill
the page and go next week.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
You know, he reminds me of a zombie. He's saying
thing that you would determine or write. She don't feel
like it's legit, like you know what I'm saying. You
ever talked to him his phony. I do a podcast
on the weekends. I used to do a lot of
interviews on the podcast, and then I realized almost all
of them are terrible, So what am I doing wasting
(28:15):
my time? So I stopped doing them. But I had
a lot of people on over the years on the podcast.
One of the ones that stand out is this guy
named Tim Donnahey. Now I don't know if you know
who Tim Donnie is or not. Tim Donahey is the
guy that was fixing NBA games and got caught. By
the way, I'm sure he's not the only one as
far as referees, he just happened to be the one
that got busted years ago, and he wrote a book
(28:36):
about it. There have been documentaries about Tim Donnie. So
I had him on my podcast, very excited to get
him on, like this is big Tim Donnie. This guy's
big scannal what the big scandals of my life? And
this guy was a central figure in it, involving like
the mob. And so we had him on and asked
him a bunch of questions and he just was lifeless.
He answered the questions like a zombie. And that I
(28:57):
watched Bryce Young interview and it's like, there's no real
I just just like, here's what I'm supposed to say.
I'm gonna say it. I'm not gonna put any feel
you know, because I don't believe any of it. And
that's that you talk about blowing an opportunity. I mean,
this was it. And here's a refresher course, by the way,
on Bryce Young. Bryce Young is not a super nova.
(29:19):
He is not a super nova. He's the Panda Express
Sweet and sour chicken is what he is. He's a
that's that's that's essentially what he is. Right, And you
think you're getting something flavorful. You going to Panda Express
and I used to eat there all the time back
and they go in there, Panta get that you get
that sweet and sour chicken and then you find out
that it was made two hours ago. It's lukewarm, it's
(29:41):
soggy in five minutes, and you're like, holy crap, what happened?
Consistently inconsistent. Yeah, so a week ago, somehow the Atlanta
Falcons should be sent to the Canadian Football We should
trade the Falcons for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They allowed
Bryce Young to throw for four hundred and forty eight
(30:03):
yards in the previous game, this week one hundred and
sixty nine yards. Now, we did expect this to happen, right,
We expected him to have a worse performance. Of course,
because he had a career game, it gonna be worse.
And this is more of the standard performance for the
quarterback there Bryce Young. By the way, that is a
sixty two percent decline from his previous performance. The two interceptions, now,
(30:27):
brock Perdy Gift wrapped three possessions in a row ended
with interceptions for the forty nine ers in the first half,
three straight.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
That is literally, as we said, giving you the game.
And what did Carolina do.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They turned those three interceptions into three points one field goal.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
That's it. That's all that's criminal. In fact, this entire game.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Was an FCC warning obscenity in decency and profanity watching
this particular game. And hey, we were never really in
on this guy, the little fella. We're definitely out on
the quarterback, Bryce Young. If you haven't figured out that
part of the story. This and the Carolina Panthers, they
swung big, They traded for the wrong guy. They gave
(31:14):
up the family Jewels to the Bears to get their
hands on this other worldly quarterback, and they ended up
getting a country bumpkin.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
They didn't want a country bumpkin.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They got a country bumping that is regular mouthfeasance with
him out there, quarterback that you get in Carolina. They
need competence, and they've got a lot of confusion, a
lot of confusion with him out there. And you cannot
have a quarterback, cannot have it who plays real sweet
one week and then sour the next two or three.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
And that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You need a driver, got to have a driver, right,
You gotta have a driver, and you got a passenger.
You got somebody to buy. Ticking the back of the bus,
high pick, low impact. That's pretty much it. And the
Panthers now that they have to hit the flea market,
they have to get either another reject from somebody else
or draft somebody and start this whole thing over.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
This is not the guy, and you're not gonna pay him.
Why would you pay him?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
He sucks, So there's no reason to pay him, and
you're gonna have to move on.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
All right.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Meanwhile, on the other side, the San Francisco side of things,
So what is your appraisal here's the question, what is
your appraisal of the other quarterback brock Purdy and his
play for the Niners in this Monday night game. So
I have an unpopular opinion, unpopular opinion alert, unpopular opinion.
All right, here's my unpopular opinion. We just slayed Bryce Young.
(32:39):
How bad Bryce Young was? Brock Purdy was more humiliating.
He actually was worse than Bryce Young. If that's possible
that brock Purdy could be worse than Bryce Young.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
He was.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
And here's why Bryce Young is still in the beta
testing mode. He's in the beta testing mode, still running
on the pre release software. They have not signed him,
they have not given him the bag in Carolina, Brockhurdy,
brock Purty Hurdy rock Perdy Forudian slip. Brock Party got
(33:12):
the loot, he got the train heist from the forty
nine ers, so he's not the trial version. They've signed
up for the full subscription model. The forty nine ers
with brock Party, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, the smartest
people in the room, did the full background check. They
dated for a while, had a cute little romance. It
(33:32):
was wonderful, puppy dog eyes, the whole thing, litt Netflix
and chill. They were friends with benefits for a while,
and they Niner said, let's put a ring on it.
So they put a ring on it. And they gave
him one hundred and eighty two million. They gave that
guy Dredyo Ballad one hundred eight too big, I can't play.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
They gave a guy who can't play all right, too
Billy even Terry.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
In England, the big forty nine er fans crying right now,
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Forty one million dollars per per year.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
He gonna go off. That's where he is right now.
Forty one million dollars a year for this guy. And
what do they get if brock Purty was a zoo animal,
if he was a zoo animal. What would rock Perty be.
He would be a donkey, but he would be a
swamp donkey, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
And man, did that look like a forty one million
dollars a year quarterback? I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
One hundred and sixty nine yards and three picks I
jotted down. I was writing some notes on my end
my notes thing on my phone when I was watching
the game. And he should have had three more interceptions.
The Panthers dropped two, and I'll say two for sure.
The third other one was iffy, but they could have
(34:40):
six interceptions of the game. Panthers defensively, they're not that great.
They're okay, they're not that great. And they turned him
into a sock puppet brock Party, and my god, he
was like he was daring Carolina, Hey, pick me off.
I'm gonna just throw it. I'm gonna like I say,
I'm Stevie Meatballs, I'm gonna be blind. Just chuck the
ball up. We'll see what happens here. And so the
(35:03):
ugly truth is, and people don't want to say it,
brock Party is just a system guy. If everything's great
around him, he's fine. Well, everything's not great around him
right now. He's clearly not fine. The Niners, they were
thinking they were gonna get a Ferrari, They ended up
getting a Kia. They paid for a Ferrari, they paid
a Ferrari price, so they got a Kia. And he's
just the middle of the pack guy, that's all he is.
(35:24):
And now they're seemingly stuck with him unless they can
convince another dumb team like the Jets of somebody to
take brock Purty off their hands. Good luck, all sales
are final in terms of the contract. The Panthers defense
making brock Purty look bedraggled, a big draggled Brock. That
should be his nickname, be draggled brock rattled and all
(35:44):
of that, like he was searching for his Stuffy in
the middle of the game. I need my support, Stuffy.
Where's my stuffy?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
And this is who he is. That's that's that's what
we tried to warn The Niners say.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Oh, you're just a rampant. Well you do the Overnight
show you. I'm not gonna listen to you.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I tried to tell you, okay, I tried to help
you out. Did you listen. No, did the Niners listen? No, well,
good luck. I'm actually happy you didn't listen. And I
laugh at you. I laugh at you because this ain't
the guy. This ain't the guy. You're not the guy, Poalp,
You're not. It's the boondoggle by the Bay, the boondoggle
by the Bay with Brock Party.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
That's what it is. Here.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
We have seen better return on investment by sir scratch
Off going on and buying seven thousand Scratcher tickets. You
get more bang for your buck. Okay, we've seen that.
Party's not overrated.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
He's not overrated. He's just poorly rated and overpaid, is
what he is.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Meanwhile, last word, we go to the broadcast booth on
a B. See Robert Salah, the defensive coordinator of the
forty nine ers. Now, if you didn't know Robert sala
was the forty nine ers defensive coordinator, you knew everything
about him by the end of the broadcast. Okay, they
(37:06):
featured him. He was the star of the broadcast. They
showed him, they gave him more screen time. Robert Salah
the former Jets coach than Kyle Shanahan, the actual head coach,
of you know, the NFL team in northern California. So
the question what did you take away from the forty
nine ers defensive coordinator Robert Sala getting the spotlight on
(37:30):
Monday Night Football? So the ABC broadcast turned into the
Robert Sala Showcase. It was like a job fare for
Robert Sala. They showed him over and over and over
and over, and Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, the Fox
refugees over there at NBC. They were full slobber chops,
(37:52):
Robert slapper slaber. They gave him the manny in the
first half and the petty in the second half.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Very nice.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It sounded like they were lobbying for this guy to
get another head coaching job. It felt like an Express
Pros commercial that we do every once in a while
here on Fox Sports Radio, not a football game.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Oh look at Roberts.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
You knew that they had crossed the rubicon when Carolina
missed a field goal and they got a reaction shot
of Roberts South.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
He's he's not a special teams coach. He's the defensive.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Coordinator, and they wanted a reaction shot of the defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
When Carolina fed up a field goal.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Hello, what are we doing, dummies, dumb dumb?
Speaker 3 (38:37):
What are you doing, dum dumb.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
He's the defensive coordinator, all right, listen, we get it. Sala.
He was on TV more than brock Purty in this game,
and he was fist pumping and chest bumping and gyrating
and all of that, like he'd taken three smelling salts
or snorted something. I don't know why, but he was
jumping up and down. And they've done this before. They
(39:01):
did this when he was with San Francisco before, the
same thing. Right, the legend of Robert Sala, The legend
of Robert Salah, Animated celebrations, awkward sideline interactions, miked up
meme material. He's being become over his coaching career. He's
a sideline spectacle, is what he is. He's a walking
(39:23):
gift factory, Robert Salad. When he's on there coaching the
forty nine ers defensively, you'd think with that kind of
television time that he's got Sean mcvaighlit credentials and just amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Then you read the fine print. Let me see it.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
So he coached, let me see, fifty six games with
the Jets and had a three point fifty eight winning percentage.
I don't think that's good. Never made the playoffs, not once.
Was an abject failure as head coach of the Jets.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
So there is that now.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Regardless, the broadcast on ABC treated him like he was
the next hot thing in coaching, big thing and Buck
and Aikman right there on the broadcast they were greasing
the skids for a second act. Give this man or
another opportunity, and NFL teams, you got to take a
look at this guy.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
That was the vibe. That was the vibe they were
giving out.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
And it's like Kyle Shannon, the actual coach, looked like
an extra in the movie.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
It was so absurd.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Am I the only one that noticed this? But maybe
I'm the only one that notices. I just it was
one of those things. The game was sucked, and I
was like, I'm watching the game, like, Bud, this really stinks, man.
And then they kept showing salad, like why a they're
showing him he sucked as a head coach.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
What are they doing?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
And the tipping point and I was gonna bring this
up later, but the tipping point was when they missed
the Caroline missed the field goal which went even close,
and then they cut to a reaction shot from Robert Sala.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
It's so perfect. He's even a special teams coach. They
cut to a reaction shot. It's great. He sells the emotion,
he sells it.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
He must be a great guy in those production meetings,
very photogenic on TV. And there is clearly a shortage
of good coaches. So who the hell knows? Would it
shocked me if Robert Salah we got another opportunity somewhere
because it's.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Well, it just needs a second chance. You got to
have a second chance.
Speaker 2 (41:04):

Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
A game we were not planning on discussing too much,
and here we are. We go where the stories take
us on the Ben Malers Show and our lead from
Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas had a big F
one race in Vegas and that was over the weekend.
And then they had an NFL game that featured two
(00:53):
morbid franchises, the Factory of Sadness Road Show visiting Sin
City for a one day, one day sore in Vegas. Now,
why would this game get top billing here in hour
number three?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Why? Oh why?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
All because of the Spaun of Dion, the spawn of Dion,
the much ballyhood first start for everyone's favorite fifth round
draft pick currently playing in the NFL, Shedur Sanders making
his first appearance as QB number one from beginning of
(01:34):
the Cleveland going against Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Oh my, what an epic quarterback matchup that was. Did
you watch? Of course you didn't watch it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, maybe you watch it was regional coverage, but most
people watch multiple games, right you got that you pay
extra for that bougie YouTube thing.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You watch all the games, So maybe not. Though no worries.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
This game was was in our rotation, was in our
rotation as Brown's rookie sherder Sanders.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
He did not have the sexiest of stat lines.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He finished with two hundred nine yards passing in a
touchdown in his NFL starting debut for the team from Cleveland.
And Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett, how's he doing? He's doing good?
Good player, bad team. Good player, bad team, good player,
bad team. Miles Garrett three of the ten sacks ten
(02:26):
sacks the Browns had against Gino Smith.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Oh God, does he sucked?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Is he bad? Wow? Anyway, so that was the story.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The Browns end up winning the game in the game
that really wasn't all that close, shockingly as you would
think that team would be close. Both teams stake, but
it really wasn't all that close. Browns are three to eight.
They ended a three game skid mark for the Cleveland
Browns there, and they started their forty second forty second
(02:57):
different quarterback since returning to the NFL in nineteen ninety nine.
The old Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens. It's all confusing.
Sanders replaced fellow rookie Dylan Gabriel, who was in the
concussion protocol so it was not available, and in doing
so well, he ended shoulder. Sanders ended a seventeen game
(03:21):
losing streak for Cleveland quarterbacks, making their first start. We
had that at the end of last week. I think
that was the who Am I?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Game?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Before the game, though, Shooter Sanders in the lead up
to the game, he said he wanted to show the
Browns that he's who they've been looking for. Well, here's
a shoulter talking about the expectations, what he was looking
to accomplish.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Here we go. What do you hope to.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Show against this Raiders defense, your teammates, yourself, and these
Browns fans with their play.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Today, I'm who they've been looking for. Appreciate it. Okay,
thank you, thank you? Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
question Shouldeur Sanders. As you heard there, he wanted to
show the Browns that he's who they've been looking for.
Did he do that?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Did he? Did he do that? All right? So I've
got on this one.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I've got time capsule as tech, and we also have onion,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Baba Ganooche. We're gonna make
the Baba Ganooche. So my first thought here is that
this is a if. It's a sales pitch by should Sanders.
(04:38):
The sales pitch.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Went a little sideways. Well, they won the game. When
you're talking about what are you such a hater?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeh shoulder Sanders showed Cleveland that he is not totally incompetent.
He's still better at YouTube and TikTok and occasionally he
can find someone named Dylan Samson or Isaiah Bond on
a broken play and get a bunch of yards. Congratulations
(05:07):
on my scorecard, the malor scorecard, should Sanders, he made
two place, two place, and that means he's like every
other Browns quarterback. Occasionally it's the old line of a
blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, Well,
Shouldhur Sanders occasionally will find a big pass play. On
(05:28):
my scorecard, he had a fifty two yard pass play
and a sixty six yard pass play for a touchdown,
And those are good highlights.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Those are nice highlights and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Outside of those plays, though, Shouldhur Sanders completed fifty percent
of the other passes that he attempted fifty percent averaged
five yards per pass attempt outside the two broken plays.
So the rest of the time, this was a time
capsule game. Now what was the time capsule the time
(06:01):
capsule game, go back a few years. It felt like
Tim Tebow watching Tim Tebow playing with the Malibu sunglasses.
That's essentially what this was here, Tim Tebow time two
point zero is what it felt like.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
At a lot of hype.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You got a guy get a lot of publicity here,
a lot of hey, this guy's so good, Oh my god,
I hadnt done it yet, And he got a lot
of hype, and then not a lot there, not a
lot of meat on the bone. And let's not forget
that Shader Sanders was not going against the two thousands.
Ray Lewis Ravens defense.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
He was not. He was not going against the legion of.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Boom defense, although they have Pete Carroll who put that
team together back in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
In Seattle. There were a couple of fireworks.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Kaboom, kurfui, a couple of fireworks, and then there were
some medicine balls he threw into the turf. There was
some of that. And let's not forget also that the Raiders,
they have a middling defense. There's zero fear factor when
you talk about the Raiders defense in this game. And
Shoulder's passer rating. Again, we're judging him based on the
(07:12):
full body of his work and we're not just saying, well,
what about the two big pass plays, because okay, those
are broken place the consistent connecting on passes, driving the ball,
leading the team down the field. He didn't do any
of that. He just didn't. There was none of that.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
For Shuder Sanders.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So outside of those two broken plays, he had a
forty one point six passer rating, which I'm told is
not good, and you don't need analytics to know that
generally stinks.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
That's just kind of a way that it is.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The Browns had two hundred and seventy two hundred and
seventy total yards, eleven first downs. Three of those were
gifted by penalty from the Raiders. That means the Browns
offense with Shude Sanders, by my computer life, they had
all of eight first downs that were not gifted to
them by incompetence of malfeasans by the Raiders. You're supposed
(08:08):
to be the future of the franchise, supposed to be
the future of the franchise, Shooter Sanders, and you're getting
with five yards of pass and you had eight first
downs in the game. That's generally not what you're looking for. Now,
what you're looking for that is a pop gun offense
is what that is? Not even a water gun. That's
a pop gun offense by the Browns. So did Shooter
(08:31):
Sanders prove that he's what the Browns are looking for?
That would be Ann with the Capitol Enn with the
Capitol end.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
No, of course, not.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Bernie Kozar who just got a new liver. Bernie Kozar
could have gone out there in his sleep and would
have while ordering Uber eats from Femi who came down
from Minnesota, and still would have done at least as
well as that. The malor report card on Shooters.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'm not I'm not gonna be outraged. Am I gonna
give him an A? No, he's not an A, A, B, A, C,
D and F No, none of that.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I give Shitara Sanders an I for incomplete.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
The report card is incomplete. I give an eye. Did
he drown? No, no, he didn't drown. He didn't drown.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Did he swim No, not really. I wouldn't call that swimming.
He floated. He had some water wings on, some floaties,
and so that's good. He had the floaties. Good for him.
And uh and and the rounds gotta win, which is
I guess exciting for them.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
They're happy about that.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And I guess the lifeguard didn't really need to go
into the water too much. And so there's that.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And is he the QB one. We'll see about that now.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Meanwhile, a lot of news from the Raiders as they
made some headlines after the game, not any during the game.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
On the Vegas side, the.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Raiders said bye bye to offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and
don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord
split you as you're out, chip Kelly whack. What a
great gig for Chip Kelly. Holy crap, I'm so jealous
of chip Kelly. So chip Kelly fired hours after the
Raiders dropped to two and nine on the season, and
(10:19):
they lose to the Browns by a couple of touchdowns.
So chip Kelly is the fall guy. Gotta have a
fall guy. Raiders made Chip Kelly the highest paid offensive
coordinator in the NFL this season, and the Raiders have
been not only a football team, they've been absolutely dismal
(10:40):
on offense.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
How bad is it?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
The loss to the Browns was their fifth straight, and
congratulations to Raider nation. You have clinched your fourth consecutive
losing season. And but wait, there's more, eighteenth losing season
since the year twenty oh two, which means, if you're
in your early twenties, your entire life the Raiders have sucked.
(11:05):
Like your entire life the Raiders material like. I'm kind
of old, and when I was a kid, the Raiders
were great. They won all the time, They had really
good teams every year, they were in the playoffs seemingly
every year. And now, god, they bad Raiders through eleven games.
Through eleven games, their offense is ranked thirty if in
the NFL. I'm told that's not good. Two hundred and
(11:26):
sixty nine yards per game, that is ranked thirty first
in the NFL. They're averaging less than sixteen points per game.
So the question what intrigues you? What intrigues you the
most about Chip Kelly being whacked as the Raiders offensive coordinator.
So the thing that intrigues me the most is the
(11:48):
Tom Brady part of this story. He is getting a
full pardon by the other elites in the media. We're
not part of the mainstream. We do an overnight show.
We've been very critical of Tom Brady. He deserves it.
He's done a terrible job. He's the Michael Jordan of
NFL owners. He said, well, he only owns a small
part of it. Well, Mark Davis didn't know what he's doing.
(12:09):
Mark Davis is like, listen, I just want to eat PF.
Chang's and I want to date younger women and play
slot machines at the airport.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And Tom, why don't you this is your baby, why
don't you run this thing? And Tom's like, Okay, I'll
run it. And so Tom Brady's acting like an Aztec here.
He's doing the human sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Is what he's doing, and.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
We saw the fact that he does own just a
small part of the Raiders, but it's enough where he's
the general manager by proxy. He hired his old college
buddy to be the general manager of the Raiders and
take care of a lot of the day to day stuff,
but any big decisions tom Brady's involved in. So you've
got that tom Brady handpicked the coach and the quarterback
(12:50):
who appeared to be washed up. The coach and the
quarterback at the same time there, and so you.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Look around, and first it was.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
The the special teams guy, as tom Brady's standing there
every few weeks now and he's dropkicking someone in the
actual black hole.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It was the special teams coach a couple weeks back.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Now it's the offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly, as he's out.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
So Chip Kelly is gone. He's gone.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And so if you work on this staff with the Raiders,
keep your resume updated and keep the car running in
the parking lot there at the Raider facility in Henderson,
the Grim Reaper wears uggs and has a big basket
of TB twelve electrolytes. If you want some of those,
he'll give chip Kelly was the highest paid offensive coordinator
(13:38):
in football this year, and the Raiders are thirtieth in offense,
thirty first in scoring. That is a refund situation. And
chip Kelly's got two more years at twelve million totals,
so six million a year not to coach the Raiders.
Man and I mentioned the average a little over fifteen
(14:01):
points a game the Raiders. That makes you qualified. If
chip Kelly wants to coach the Iowa Hawkeyes, he can
coach Iowa and the Big Ten. That's about Iowa Hawkeye territory.
Fifteen points per game. There as a low blow. I'm
pretty sure chip Kelly did not forget how to coach.
He was part of the Ohio State staff that won
the championship last year.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And with Vegas. You look around the room there with Vegas,
and he is attempting to polish turds and guess what
spider alert? Spider alert.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Chip Kelly's trying to polish turds and there's supply chain
issues at the turd polish factory, so he's run out
of turd polish unfortunately. There and the theme song for
the Raiders this season, as bad as it's gotten, is
a Toby Keith Classic the Wacky Tobacci because a lot
of those guys with the Raiders are smoking the Wacky
(14:54):
Tobacci right now. Chip Kelly's gone, the scoreboard hasn't changed,
and they had to have a new fall guy. Have
a new fall guy. The Raider assistants, they must be
checking their pulse hourly there if you're an assistant coach
with the Raiders, the Silver and Black disease remains undefeated.
And is this going to be a one and done
(15:17):
situation for Pete Carroll? Are they going to remove Pete Carroll?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
They've already undermined Pete.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
They got rid of there's the tripod, right, You've got
the coach, but then you've got the tripod.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You've got the.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Defensive coordinator, the offensive coordinator, the special teams, coach coordinators.
So they've gotten rid of two of the three. Two
of the three they've gotten rid of. That means that
Pete Carroll is on the short list. Then he would
be the next guy to go. Now, final thought, staying
with the game and the Raiders and the Browns. Not
(15:49):
only did Chip Kelly get whacked, the man that's responsible,
the coach killer, as we like to call him, Gino
Smith there totally incompetent. Camera's caught in over his head,
in over his head, drowning Raider quarterback Geno Smith, who
decided he had had enough. The man who's known legendary
(16:09):
mister softy, Geno Smith cannot handle any criticism, and he
decided he wanted to clap back at some fans that
were giving him the business after the humiliation situation, losing
it home by two touchdowns, getting sacked ten times Geno Smith.
The sack is a quarterback stat So as Smith was
(16:30):
shane his way off the field there in Vegas, the
fans were serenading him, goofing on him, making fun of him.
And as he was making his way to the tunnel well,
Gino Smith was caught on candid camera and he was
flipping off some of the heckling Raider fans there. You
(16:50):
can see him doing it in slow mo.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
His video that's gone viral. Even our friend Inka Terror
who's blind, has seen that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Question, how do you read how do you read Geno
Smith and his one finger salute one finger salute to
some some Raider fans, not Browns fans, Raider fans. So
they been saying they've been saying over the years. The
fish rots from the head down. In the case of
the Las Vegas Raiders, it rots from their thirty seven
(17:23):
and a half million dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Quarterback on the way down.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
There's a lot of brain rot there with Geno Smith
hyper sensitive.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Onion, he's onion skinned. Gino overly emotional. He's for klemped
sacked ten times. You know how bad a quarterback you
have to be to be sacked ten times? Like you
should you should go get another job if you're that
bad at your job.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
But what about the other julyne Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Shut up, you don't know ball. You don't know ball.
Ten sacks and then flip your own fans off as
you're coming off the field. That's your franchise quarterback right there.
That's the Raiders, And that's the face that Pete Carroll
decided that he wanted to go into his bunker. He said,
(18:14):
I want that guy. He's the ultimate bunker buster, and
Geno Smith he is so Gino looks like the world's
most expensive crash test dummy as he continues to amaze
on a weekly basis. Here as the pressure is mounting,
and when the pressure mounts, Gino just gifts raps. So
the sack Browns have a good defense. This is a
(18:36):
historical game for the Cleveland Browns, and so you look
around the sack again. As a quarterback statistic, he isn't unlikely, unlucky.
Gino is slow. And there's another quarterback who's not very
good but avoids sacks now, Davis Mills. We saw him
with the Texans back on Thursday, same crappy offensive line
(18:57):
in Houston, which everyone said is terrible. Just get get
rid of the ball, quicker, throw the ball away, and
you play a clean game. Don't get sacked one time.
Not one time do you get sacked. Not one time
do you get sacked. And then in this game, well
yeah ten times. Because Gino doesn't know what the hell
he's doing on a lot of these plays, and it's
a shame. You hold the ball like you're waiting for
(19:20):
for Shakespeare to finish writing Act three, and you're like,
I gotta he's writing it on the ball, So I'm
just gonna wait for Shakespeare to finish. Well, Shakespeare's dead,
it doesn't matter. I'm gonna wait for him to finish.
I want him to finish and the moment right now,
in this moment, we worry about today's show. You look
at Gino Smith, who is thirty first in the NFL,
(19:45):
thirty first in the NFL among quarterbacks. He's behind Davis Mills,
the aforementioned Davis Mills, barely ahead of Dylan Gabriel who
was taken out with a concussion. And so Gino's not
just playing bad, that would be okay. He's becoming a
coach killer. As we mentioned previously, the Raiders getting rid
of some coaches here, and the middle finger that was
(20:07):
not really for the fans so much as that middle
finger was for Chip Kelly. Go to the guillotine. Chip,
your number one in line at the g. So the
Raiders thought they hired a savior and Pete Carroll and
they had paid big money for Chip Kelly and all
this stuff, and now they have a thirty seven and
a half million guy, a quarterback who can't play, who's
(20:30):
an emotional landmine in Geno Smith. And superstars run all
of these pro sports leagues. And when your star detonates
in slow mo, that's a no go. That's a no go.
You don't have a quarterback, you a lot of turbulence.
There's a lot of turbunance there with Gino Smith.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
So our lead this hour, don't bury the lead, my
man heart or not. So the final game of the
weekend in the NFL, it is all over, just a
couple days off in the right back add it on Thanksgiving,
so it's just a brief pause in the NFL continues.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
But our lead this.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Hour from Santa Clara, not San Francisco. Santa Clara That
is where the forty nine ers play their home games.
Forty five miles or so as a crow flies south
of San francisc coach only take you about three hours
with traffic, so this was the site of the final
game of the weekend. There came to an end. The
(22:12):
curtain came down. You had Bryce Young and the Panthers
skinning in to the Bay Area for a wrestling match
with Brock Party.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Oh my aching Towe.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well he's back. Brock Party and the forty niners. Perty
missed a bunch of time with a messed up toe,
but he's back. This game was billed as the Christian
McCaffrey Revenge Game. It's all about the revenge. Did you
watch No, okay, you didn't miss anything. I'm not gonna
sit here and light you. Oh you should have seen
(22:45):
this game. Oh my god, No, I'm jealous. I mean
I did get paid to watch it. In theory, plausibly
got paid to watch it. But man alive. So Christian McCaffrey,
he hits the billing. I think it was his greatest game.
He had one hundred and forty two yards from scrimmage,
touched the ball a ton ended up with one hundred
and forty two yards from scrimmage, scored a touchdown in
his first matchup against the team that he played for
(23:09):
that gave him away. They give him away, they got
draft picks, scratcherr tickets, but that was the deal. A
couple of years back, McCaffrey went from Carolina to San
Francisco after he got paid by the Panthers and then
proceeded to get hurt on a regular basis, so his
first game there three years ago. Niners haven't won any
championships with Christian McCaffrey, and he's been very productive for them.
(23:33):
The Niners get the ugly twenty to nine win the
final over the Panthers. McCaffrey gets the Niners with his
performance to eight and four on the season. They were
able to overcome the systemic and competence of Brock Party,
who threw not one, not two, but three interceptions earlier.
(23:53):
Holy Ernesto in the Bay our guy there, big forty
nine er fan not happy with Rock Party, but they
are still in playoff position. The Niners with that eighth
win heading into the stretch run of the regular season,
and down the stretch we go in the NFL. Now,
the better story is in the losing locker room. Carolina
had an opportunity, somehow, some way, Carolina had a shot
(24:17):
to move into the penthouse of the outhouse, which is
the NFC South. If they had won this game, ifs
and butts were candy and nuts, it'd be Christmas every day.
It's not so. Bryce Young went out there and better
story in the losing locker room?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
How did he do?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Bryce Young failing yet again, yet again to get the
job done. The former number one.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Overall traffick had one hundred and sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Nine yards, barely had that one touchdown, and not one
but two interceptions. That is a good jumping off points
to Let us discuss the question, how do you evaluate
Bryce Young's performance for Carolina in a game that was
certainly winnable. It's not like the Niners were that great.
(25:05):
The game was right there for the taking in Carolina
unable to take it. So my views on this, I've
got Panda, Express, Zoo Animal and Express pros and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
gonna put the biscuit in the basket, is what we're
gonna do.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Just put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So hey, we'll start with this, the Carolina Panthers watching
them play, and I don't watch every game, and I
flip around.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
They usually play in the early TV.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Window on Sunday, But watching the Carolina Panthers play, it's
like a Nantucket's sleigh ride watching them play. They hooked
the whale. They thought they hooked the whale, Bryce Young,
and now they're getting dragged every week.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Every week they're getting dragged.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
And this was another opportunity to prove the haters wrong
and prove that you knew what you were doing. Instead,
he proved them right. He proved them right with this performance.
It was an I game. Everyone was watching. Everyone was
watching against a battle scarred, weather beaten defense. They did
(26:09):
have Fred Warner and Nick Bosa in the stadium. They
happened to be watching while eating nachos and popcorn in
luxury boxes.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
They showed him on the TV. They were not playing,
They were.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Not playing in the game, and the Niners brock Perty
tried to hand the game to Carolina.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Try to give him the game. Here's the game. We
don't want the game. Take the guy, take the guy.
And what happened?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Well, the quarterback there, Bryce Young's like, you know what,
it's very plays, very plout of you. Try to give
us the game. You know what, we don't really want
that big road win. No, we why would we want that?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
To Come on?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Bryce, Now, we're good, We're here's here's another punt. We're
gonna punt the ball. Knock yourself out, enjoyed the ball.
My god, what a debacle, What an absolute debacle watching Bryce.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Young try to play quarterback.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And then, as many it pointed out, he's very robotic.
You can tell he's been schooled. I don't know whether
it was Nick Saban or the people that are writing
his coattails making their living off his performance. And you know,
his posse of people that are around him. All these
athletes have groups of people that are hangers on, and
somebody gave him the sports cliche one oh one rhetoric.
(27:27):
I saw his news. Gonna be very robotic is the
word I keep going back to. Anyway, here's a little
taste of Bryce Young talking about the trip back to
North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Playing right back's gonna suck. I don't even know if
we have the twenty four hour luxury now when it's
you know, we're all competitors. It sucks to have this
outcome again. We don't have luxuries to think about big picture.
You think that that's that's not a good recipe for
this league. Everyone demands our most intention so we'll fill
the page and go next week.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
You know, he reminds me of a zombie. He's saying
thing that you would determine or write. She don't feel
like it's legit, like you know what I'm saying. You
ever talked to him his phony. I do a podcast
on the weekends. I used to do a lot of
interviews on the podcast, and then I realized almost all
of them are terrible, So what am I doing wasting
(28:15):
my time? So I stopped doing them. But I had
a lot of people on over the years on the podcast.
One of the ones that stand out is this guy
named Tim Donnahey. Now I don't know if you know
who Tim Donnie is or not. Tim Donahey is the
guy that was fixing NBA games and got caught. By
the way, I'm sure he's not the only one as
far as referees, he just happened to be the one
that got busted years ago, and he wrote a book
(28:36):
about it. There have been documentaries about Tim Donnie. So
I had him on my podcast, very excited to get
him on, like this is big Tim Donnie. This guy's
big scannal what the big scandals of my life? And
this guy was a central figure in it, involving like
the mob. And so we had him on and asked
him a bunch of questions and he just was lifeless.
He answered the questions like a zombie. And that I
(28:57):
watched Bryce Young interview and it's like, there's no real
I just just like, here's what I'm supposed to say.
I'm gonna say it. I'm not gonna put any feel
you know, because I don't believe any of it. And
that's that you talk about blowing an opportunity. I mean,
this was it. And here's a refresher course, by the way,
on Bryce Young. Bryce Young is not a super nova.
(29:19):
He is not a super nova. He's the Panda Express
Sweet and sour chicken is what he is. He's a
that's that's that's essentially what he is. Right, And you
think you're getting something flavorful. You going to Panda Express
and I used to eat there all the time back
and they go in there, Panta get that you get
that sweet and sour chicken and then you find out
that it was made two hours ago. It's lukewarm, it's
(29:41):
soggy in five minutes, and you're like, holy crap, what happened?
Consistently inconsistent. Yeah, so a week ago, somehow the Atlanta
Falcons should be sent to the Canadian Football We should
trade the Falcons for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They allowed
Bryce Young to throw for four hundred and forty eight
(30:03):
yards in the previous game, this week one hundred and
sixty nine yards. Now, we did expect this to happen, right,
We expected him to have a worse performance. Of course,
because he had a career game, it gonna be worse.
And this is more of the standard performance for the
quarterback there Bryce Young. By the way, that is a
sixty two percent decline from his previous performance. The two interceptions, now,
(30:27):
brock Perdy Gift wrapped three possessions in a row ended
with interceptions for the forty nine ers in the first half,
three straight.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
That is literally, as we said, giving you the game.
And what did Carolina do.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They turned those three interceptions into three points one field goal.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
That's it. That's all that's criminal. In fact, this entire game.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Was an FCC warning obscenity in decency and profanity watching
this particular game. And hey, we were never really in
on this guy, the little fella. We're definitely out on
the quarterback, Bryce Young. If you haven't figured out that
part of the story. This and the Carolina Panthers, they
swung big, They traded for the wrong guy. They gave
(31:14):
up the family Jewels to the Bears to get their
hands on this other worldly quarterback, and they ended up
getting a country bumpkin.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
They didn't want a country bumpkin.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They got a country bumping that is regular mouthfeasance with
him out there, quarterback that you get in Carolina. They
need competence, and they've got a lot of confusion, a
lot of confusion with him out there. And you cannot
have a quarterback, cannot have it who plays real sweet
one week and then sour the next two or three.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
And that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You need a driver, got to have a driver, right,
You gotta have a driver, and you got a passenger.
You got somebody to buy. Ticking the back of the bus,
high pick, low impact. That's pretty much it. And the
Panthers now that they have to hit the flea market,
they have to get either another reject from somebody else
or draft somebody and start this whole thing over.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
This is not the guy, and you're not gonna pay him.
Why would you pay him?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
He sucks, So there's no reason to pay him, and
you're gonna have to move on.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
All right.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Meanwhile, on the other side, the San Francisco side of things,
So what is your appraisal here's the question, what is
your appraisal of the other quarterback brock Purdy and his
play for the Niners in this Monday night game. So
I have an unpopular opinion, unpopular opinion alert, unpopular opinion.
All right, here's my unpopular opinion. We just slayed Bryce Young.
(32:39):
How bad Bryce Young was? Brock Purdy was more humiliating.
He actually was worse than Bryce Young. If that's possible
that brock Purdy could be worse than Bryce Young.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
He was.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
And here's why Bryce Young is still in the beta
testing mode. He's in the beta testing mode, still running
on the pre release software. They have not signed him,
they have not given him the bag in Carolina, Brockhurdy,
brock Purty Hurdy rock Perdy Forudian slip. Brock Party got
(33:12):
the loot, he got the train heist from the forty
nine ers, so he's not the trial version. They've signed
up for the full subscription model. The forty nine ers
with brock Party, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, the smartest
people in the room, did the full background check. They
dated for a while, had a cute little romance. It
(33:32):
was wonderful, puppy dog eyes, the whole thing, litt Netflix
and chill. They were friends with benefits for a while,
and they Niner said, let's put a ring on it.
So they put a ring on it. And they gave
him one hundred and eighty two million. They gave that
guy Dredyo Ballad one hundred eight too big, I can't play.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
They gave a guy who can't play all right, too
Billy even Terry.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
In England, the big forty nine er fans crying right now,
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Forty one million dollars per per year.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
He gonna go off. That's where he is right now.
Forty one million dollars a year for this guy. And
what do they get if brock Purty was a zoo animal,
if he was a zoo animal. What would rock Perty be.
He would be a donkey, but he would be a
swamp donkey, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
And man, did that look like a forty one million
dollars a year quarterback? I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
One hundred and sixty nine yards and three picks I
jotted down. I was writing some notes on my end
my notes thing on my phone when I was watching
the game. And he should have had three more interceptions.
The Panthers dropped two, and I'll say two for sure.
The third other one was iffy, but they could have
(34:40):
six interceptions of the game. Panthers defensively, they're not that great.
They're okay, they're not that great. And they turned him
into a sock puppet brock Party, and my god, he
was like he was daring Carolina, Hey, pick me off.
I'm gonna just throw it. I'm gonna like I say,
I'm Stevie Meatballs, I'm gonna be blind. Just chuck the
ball up. We'll see what happens here. And so the
(35:03):
ugly truth is, and people don't want to say it,
brock Party is just a system guy. If everything's great
around him, he's fine. Well, everything's not great around him
right now. He's clearly not fine. The Niners, they were
thinking they were gonna get a Ferrari, They ended up
getting a Kia. They paid for a Ferrari, they paid
a Ferrari price, so they got a Kia. And he's
just the middle of the pack guy, that's all he is.
(35:24):
And now they're seemingly stuck with him unless they can
convince another dumb team like the Jets of somebody to
take brock Purty off their hands. Good luck, all sales
are final in terms of the contract. The Panthers defense
making brock Purty look bedraggled, a big draggled Brock. That
should be his nickname, be draggled brock rattled and all
(35:44):
of that, like he was searching for his Stuffy in
the middle of the game. I need my support, Stuffy.
Where's my stuffy?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
And this is who he is. That's that's that's what
we tried to warn The Niners say.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Oh, you're just a rampant. Well you do the Overnight
show you. I'm not gonna listen to you.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I tried to tell you, okay, I tried to help
you out. Did you listen. No, did the Niners listen? No, well,
good luck. I'm actually happy you didn't listen. And I
laugh at you. I laugh at you because this ain't
the guy. This ain't the guy. You're not the guy, Poalp,
You're not. It's the boondoggle by the Bay, the boondoggle
by the Bay with Brock Party.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
That's what it is. Here.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
We have seen better return on investment by sir scratch
Off going on and buying seven thousand Scratcher tickets. You
get more bang for your buck. Okay, we've seen that.
Party's not overrated.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
He's not overrated. He's just poorly rated and overpaid, is
what he is.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Meanwhile, last word, we go to the broadcast booth on
a B. See Robert Salah, the defensive coordinator of the
forty nine ers. Now, if you didn't know Robert sala
was the forty nine ers defensive coordinator, you knew everything
about him by the end of the broadcast. Okay, they
(37:06):
featured him. He was the star of the broadcast. They
showed him, they gave him more screen time. Robert Salah
the former Jets coach than Kyle Shanahan, the actual head coach,
of you know, the NFL team in northern California. So
the question what did you take away from the forty
nine ers defensive coordinator Robert Sala getting the spotlight on
(37:30):
Monday Night Football? So the ABC broadcast turned into the
Robert Sala Showcase. It was like a job fare for
Robert Sala. They showed him over and over and over
and over, and Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, the Fox
refugees over there at NBC. They were full slobber chops,
(37:52):
Robert slapper slaber. They gave him the manny in the
first half and the petty in the second half.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Very nice.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It sounded like they were lobbying for this guy to
get another head coaching job. It felt like an Express
Pros commercial that we do every once in a while
here on Fox Sports Radio, not a football game.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Oh look at Roberts.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
You knew that they had crossed the rubicon when Carolina
missed a field goal and they got a reaction shot
of Roberts South.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
He's he's not a special teams coach. He's the defensive.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Coordinator, and they wanted a reaction shot of the defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
When Carolina fed up a field goal.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Hello, what are we doing, dummies, dumb dumb?
Speaker 3 (38:37):
What are you doing, dum dumb.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
He's the defensive coordinator, all right, listen, we get it. Sala.
He was on TV more than brock Purty in this game,
and he was fist pumping and chest bumping and gyrating
and all of that, like he'd taken three smelling salts
or snorted something. I don't know why, but he was
jumping up and down. And they've done this before. They
(39:01):
did this when he was with San Francisco before, the
same thing. Right, the legend of Robert Sala, The legend
of Robert Salah, Animated celebrations, awkward sideline interactions, miked up
meme material. He's being become over his coaching career. He's
a sideline spectacle, is what he is. He's a walking
(39:23):
gift factory, Robert Salad. When he's on there coaching the
forty nine ers defensively, you'd think with that kind of
television time that he's got Sean mcvaighlit credentials and just amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Then you read the fine print. Let me see it.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
So he coached, let me see, fifty six games with
the Jets and had a three point fifty eight winning percentage.
I don't think that's good. Never made the playoffs, not once.
Was an abject failure as head coach of the Jets.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
So there is that now.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Regardless, the broadcast on ABC treated him like he was
the next hot thing in coaching, big thing and Buck
and Aikman right there on the broadcast they were greasing
the skids for a second act. Give this man or
another opportunity, and NFL teams, you got to take a
look at this guy.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
That was the vibe. That was the vibe they were
giving out.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
And it's like Kyle Shannon, the actual coach, looked like
an extra in the movie.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
It was so absurd.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Am I the only one that noticed this? But maybe
I'm the only one that notices. I just it was
one of those things. The game was sucked, and I
was like, I'm watching the game, like, Bud, this really stinks, man.
And then they kept showing salad, like why a they're
showing him he sucked as a head coach.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
What are they doing?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
And the tipping point and I was gonna bring this
up later, but the tipping point was when they missed
the Caroline missed the field goal which went even close,
and then they cut to a reaction shot from Robert Sala.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
It's so perfect. He's even a special teams coach. They
cut to a reaction shot. It's great. He sells the emotion,
he sells it.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
He must be a great guy in those production meetings,
very photogenic on TV. And there is clearly a shortage
of good coaches. So who the hell knows? Would it
shocked me if Robert Salah we got another opportunity somewhere
because it's.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Well, it just needs a second chance. You got to
have a second chance.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
