the Charm City, The Ravens hosting the Bengals in a
made for TV matchup with Almichaels and Kirk Herb Street
(01:37):
hanging out there. And if you watched this game the
Thursday Night special, maybe not. Lamar Jackson played pretty well
over three hundred yards. It was also pretty lucky on
some of those passes and certainly had the officials in
his back pocket. But a couple of touchdowns the Ravens
serve shall we say, poetic justice to the Bengals thirty
(02:02):
four to twenty in a game that was not that
close in Maryland. Now Baltimore improves to eight and three.
They're currently the number two seed in the American Football Conference,
bird dogging the Chiefs, who close out Week eleven as
they take on the Eagles in the Monday night game Cincinnati.
(02:23):
They are now four and five. But the better story
is in the losing locker room or should we say,
should we say the losing injury tent, because that's what
you will find. Joe Burrow. Yeah, this is the story
of the night. The Bengals quarterback. The early report the
sprained right risk, sprained right risk. The injury forced them
(02:44):
out of the game and expected to be out for
an extended period of time. Burrow hurting his wrist, probably
several days ago, but in this game, he exited in
the second quarter, right after throwing a touchdown pass to
Joe Mixon that gave the Bengals the lead ten to seven. Now,
(03:04):
once I saw Joe Burrow go into the injury tent,
I said, that's it.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
My bet is overright, no chance, no chance, all right,
So the Ravens win that. Really they were given the
game once once Burrow got hurt. So let us discuss
the question where is the malor worry O meter for
Joe Burrow's wrist.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So on the malor worrio meter one to ten, this
is a nine point oh nine point zero on the
malor worrio meter.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I've got Lizzo pinatas and a t Rex stuffed animal,
and we'll combine all of these things together and we're
gonna get you some anxiety meds if you like the
Bengals or you happen to have Joe Burrow as your
fantasy quarterback. So so ay, we're at a solid nine
(04:03):
because even if this is not a season ending injury,
the Burrow injury, they have no margin Forreyer, right, even
if Burrow can come back, this season, if he's missing
multiple games and they were to lose those games, that's
all she wrote. As of now, the Bengals playoff hopes
(04:23):
are on life support. When you look at their record
against AFC opponents, they're just a five hundred team.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You are what your record says you are. They have
a faint pulse.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
But if Burrow's playing, that's a little more than a
faint pulse, because Burrow's that capable of going on a
Burro burner.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
There's no such thing as momentum. But he can play
consistently well for a period of time. And Lizzo, of
all people, has entered the chat.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
She's warming up her vocal corse right now, and she's
looking at the song sheet, and the song sheet there
says turn out the last the parties over. Back up
Jake Browning for Cincinnati. Now that is actually Yiddish. Browning
is Yiddish for can't play.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Uh. He looks like your standard Ham and Egger mix. Whoever.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Your Your definition of a bad quarterback is Mac Jones,
Zach Wilson, Kenny Pickett. Now, these guys can play. He's
a jag, but not a Jacksonville jack. Just just a guy,
just a guy now to answer the question, why did
the Bengals have no other options?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Why why do they not have a better backup quarterback
on the roster. Well, the simple answer is they cost
money to pay a backup quarterback. The Bengals are notorious frugal,
notoriously frugal. But also I always go back in these
situations to the the great Tom Moore was with the
Indianapolis Colts for a long time, been around the NFL
as an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I think he's mostly retired as a consultant these.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Days, but he was asked a question years ago about
Peyton Manning and I'm gonna pair his response. I'm gonna
change it up for the modern story that we're talking about.
But the question would be why do backups not get
more reps? Right as a guy like Jake Browning not
get more opportunity and practice, And a guy like Tom
Moore would say, fellas, if number nine goes down, we're porked,
(06:19):
and we don't practice porked like to learn all the affiliates.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
That was a radio edit. He used a different word
than porked. I cleaned it up. I cleaned it up.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
But the Bengals would be bacon, Bengal bacon, and I'll
bet you someplace at a hotel in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Carson Wentz is whimpering, wishing.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
If I'd only waited, if I'd only waited another couple
of weeks, I would have gone to Cincinnati. But no, no,
I was stuck with the Rams right turning the page.
So pundits are already speculating that the Bengals are in
deep doo doo, that they're gonna get essentially court martialed
by the NFL because of Joe Burrow's injury. Now, why
(07:03):
is that some video was bouncing around the echo chamber
of social media. It has been deleted. It was deleted
shortly after it was posted. The posting by the Cincinnati
football team on social media is getting some into a lather.
You see if you haven't, if you haven't seen this
in the clip for our blindlisters. In the clip, Joe
(07:25):
Burrow can be seen getting off the Bengals team bus. Well,
who cares about that, right? I mean, I've gotten off
a bus. I'm sure you've probably gotten off a bus
at some point in your life. But he was wearing
some kind of brace or protective sleeve something on his
right hand and in the week leading up to this game, Burrow.
(07:47):
Let me let me check the Bengal injury report and
we'll go page down. Uh, Paige, Joe Burrow not on
the Bengals injury report?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
What WHOA? Now? The NFL they claim they have no room,
no room.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
For this kind of nonsense, these kind of shenanigans. They
take these injuries very seriously. So the question what kind
of punishment are the Bengals going to get for circumventing
the NFL injury list and hiding the Burrow injury. So Cincinnati,
here's what's gonna happen for their coaching staff to front office.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
They will be human pinatas, human pinatas. That's public shaming.
The cover up is worse than the crime.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
If only Joe Burrow had stayed healthy, nobody would have
known about this. But the NFL is a conduit to gambling, right,
They're a pipeline to gambling. That is the financial bonanza
for the NFL. You can't watch an NFL game.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And I love gambling. Listen, I go gambling show on
television on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I love gambling, but every other commercials gambling gambling gambling,
so expect the Bengals to be fined and Zach Taylor
will also be fine. This happened a few years ago
Mike Tomlin and the Steelers not exactly the same, but
Ben Roethlisberger was the quarterback at the time, and he
didn't show up on the injury report, but he was hurt.
And so the NFL thing the Steelers Now, it's a
(09:13):
little different because gambling is much more prevalent now than
it was four years ago.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
However, the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Are not a regular in this world, so it's not
like they have a track record. They're not like Draymond
Green where they've got a lot of recidivism. So I'm
gonna say that they're gonna get a fine. And that's
it now the last word here, let's go to the
winning locker room. The game itself not really a good
talker because once Joe Burrow got hurt the Ravens they
(09:41):
were given the game.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Here you go take it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But there is a big storyline with Baltimore tight end
Mark Andrews.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
His season Cop.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Butt buppkis over for me too, gun skies for Mark Andrews.
He suffered a late left ankle in on the opening drive.
John Harbaugh announcing after the game that is a big
deal and season ender, season ender against tarbor A season
(10:11):
enter four Andrews.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
According to Harbaugh, so.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Put in the words how big a loss Mark Andrews
is for the Ravens who are cooking right now at
eight and three. So the way I would describe it,
it's like flashing back to when you were six years
old and you went on a like a road trip
with the family, and you were on a on a
(10:36):
Jet Blue plane and you left your favorite t Rex
stuffed animal on the plane and you were you were
really upset.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
This is a devastation situation.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
The reason it's a devastation situation is because Mark Andrews
is Lamar Jackson's safety blanket. It's he's his blinking right
went in doubt, throw the ball out to Mark Andrews.
The numbers are redonculous with these two. Andrews gets over
thirty percent of all the targets. He's the top pass
(11:10):
catcher in every category from Lamar Jackson since they both
came into the NFL. And the name that will pop
up and we'll we'll throw it out right now, right
We'll try to get ahead of the mainstream. The Ravens
could look for a diamond in the rough. But the
obvious connection here is Rob Gronkowski. Will the Ravens be
(11:35):
able to convince Rob Gronkowski to come back developing hot
dot dot dot. Now, Gronkowski will like to flirt with
the Ravens. He likes to do that, but ultimately I've
looked at him and he's little Finn, Little Finn gota
fat him up. I don't think he's anywhere close to
being able to play. Even if he wanted to come back.
(11:56):
I don't think he'd be making much of an impact
based on what I've seen of his podcast shenanigans and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But this is actually I'm gonna be Betty bright Side
here for a second.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I want to be Betty Bright's side for the Ravens
because there is a dimension in the Twilight Zone where
this ends up a blessing.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Let me tell you why.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Because Lamar Jackson is going to have to get over
his crutch or the Ravens are on a Kamakazi mission here,
it's not gonna work. Lamar's had a blind spot. He
doesn't trust his receivers, maybe his receivers blow. I don't know,
but he's so dependent on throwing the Mark Andrews that
(12:42):
it becomes a net negative. When you play the Ravens,
you know where the ball is gonna go, and he
doesn't really spread it around. So in that dimension, in
the twilight Zone, Lamar is going to have to share
the sugar.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And that's not a bad thing. That's actually good thing.
It's a positive thing. If you're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
The Waltz, the playoff Waltz, and get to Vegas for
the Super Bowl.

A sideline skirmish sometimes in life. Sometimes in life, you
just have to fake it till you make it. You
just have to fake it until you make it. Well,
come in the beginning of another hour of The Ben
Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (13:34):

rack dot com the way tire buying shuit be. Now,
this is a story that I can really wrap my
arms around.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I love this story.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
These are the kind of stories media media a musings.
Just love them, just love them. And our league comes
from the sidelines. In a story that has bounced all
over sports media circles, Fox Sports, Carrissa Thompson has created
quite the hullabloop.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
She is under attack at this point. What did she do?
What did Carrissa Thompson do?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now, if you have not, if you're not heard, because
maybe you're not worried about this, you're not in You're
not in the sports media.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
You're not in the sports media.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So Carrissa Thompson has a bullseye on her back among
sideline divas. This is after she admitted that in the
past she would just like make quotes up from coaches
during NFL games and in fact, just to prove I'm
not making this up, in a podcast, a recent podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Interview, he was the pardon the take. I think that
was the name of a podcast.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I don't know what that is, but anyway, here is
Carrissa Thompson and listen, this is the audio that everyone's
talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Take a list.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
And I've said this before, so I haven't been fired
for saying it, but I'll say it again. I would
make up the report sometimes because a the coach wouldn't
come out at halftime or it was too late, and
I was like, I didn't want to screw up the report.
So I was like, I'm just going to make this
up because first of all, no coach is going to
get mad if I say, hey, we need to stop
hurting ourselves. We needed to be better on third down,
we need to stop turning the ball quarterback. We need yeah, exactly,
(15:53):
and do a better job of getting off the field.
Like they're not going to correct me on that. I'm like,
it's fine, I'll just make up the report.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh my god, Now that led to fire and Brimstone.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
That led to fire in Brimstone.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Dante's Inferno, Dante's Inferno, Sodom and Gomorrah.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The reaction, Oh my god, I laugh.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
We a bunch of my buddies in the in the media,
we've we've been exchanging the most ridiculous reactions to that
pretty benign audio. But it was full condemnation and vilification
of Carrissa Thompson. So let us discuss. You heard the
audio Carissa Thompson causing outrage and media circles by saying
(16:44):
that she just made up NFL coaches quotes at halftime
while working the sidelines. Did she violate Carrissa Thompson the
broadcasting oath? So I have Wiener, Mobile, Ron and Ikea,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(17:08):
we will make an angel. Because remember, angels fly because
they take themselves lightly. And there's a lot of sideline
reporters that do not take themselves lightly. So number wa Yeah.
So to answer the question, did Carissa Thompson violate the
broadcasting oath? As someone that's spent my entire adult life
in broadcasting.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
No, I'm shaking my head. No, it's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
This story has been wildfire, wildfire. It has been spreading
round and round and round and round. Everyone's indulging in
the story.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The sports media world's picked up more fuel and I
gave a guffall. I've been, as I said, I've been
laughing as these reactions have come in. And when I
first thought, I thought, man, this is hilarious, because Carrisa
Thompson said the.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Quiet part out loud.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
She took you inside the Wiener Mobile to the Oscar
Meyer plant, and there's a bunch of hot doggers and
here's how we make the sausage.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
There is no hippocratic oath for broadcasters. There are plenty
of scumbags that work in broadcasting, every man, woman and
child for themselves. But this story, this particular story, you know,
it reminds me of my days when I started out.
I started in radio. I was nineteen years old. I
was a radio stringer, which is a radio reporter, and
(18:33):
I needed audio. My all I was there to do
was get soundbites after I did in game reports, but
mostly it was after the game, and they used to
have these things we had called into radio stations before
the Internet and give score updates. And so that was
my gig and I got paid to do it, not
very well. I made crappy money, but I made more
money for the postgame audio.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So I had to go in to the locker room
and interview players, which I hated because the players didn't
want to do it. I didn't want to do it smells.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Disgusting players or a holes, but I did it because
I need the money and it was the way I
could go to the games for free. So I'd go
in these locker rooms and i'd have to interview guys
on their team lost.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Nobody wants to talk when they lose, complete schmucks.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And on more than one occasion, as we go back
in the hot up time machine, on more than one occasion,
I would go up to a player and the player
would say, just you know, whatever you want, pick up,
pick a cliche, I don't care. And then I would
have to explain to the player that I work in
audio and I need you to say the cliche and
(19:33):
I'll never forget. There's a great sports writer named Terry Johnson.
He covered the Dodgers. He passed away years ago, but
a very funny guy. Describe and what he would do
is he would just go up to the player who
was grumpy after game and say, all right, here's the
quote I'm If you don't give me a quote, I'm
just going to use a generic one and I'm gonna
(19:55):
give you options, and then he would go like ABC one,
two three that you know, we just like, we just
got to stick together. You know, it's only one game.
It's a long season. You know, I believe in this team.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Like any of those boilerplate responses. I have very fun memory.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
So when I saw this, I was like, well, I mean,
as she said, Chrissa Thompson, she went generic. She went
generic because she knew she was fully aware that nothing
was going to come of this in terms of anger.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
And outrage and all that among the coaches.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
So pressing on from that, why have these sideline reporters'
reactions been so unhinged, because that's the part of the
story as we go down the topic tree, which I
get a kick out. Now some of my favorites here.
Tracy Wolfson of CBS said of CHRISA. Thompson, this is
(20:51):
absolutely not okay. Laura Oakman said she was devastated by
this story. Tafoya, who's now out of broadcasting, said it
was professional fraud. My favorite, though, was Andrea Kramer, who
I don't think is doing anything these days, but she
said she was sickened she was.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Dull. All right.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Now there are others, but you get the point. So again,
why have these sideline reporters' reactions been so an inch u.
Part of it is attack, attacking the sisterhood. And you
also take yourself way too seriously, and it's we're in
an era where if you play the victim, you're celebrator.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Right, Oh, you're the victim.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Here a sideline diva on sideline diva crime. And there
is a bit of cosplay involved, a little bit of cosplay.
It's like Ron Burgundy from Anchorman. Well, that escalated quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I really got out of hand.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And it's like these these these people are living in
a glass case of emotion, and I get it.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
This is the life's work.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And it's yet again been exposed as completely unnecessary and pointless.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
The fact that Carrissa Thompson.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Was making up quotes on NFL broadcast and A none
of the coaches cared, none of the coaches called her
out on it. B nobody watching, nobody watching said wait
a minute.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That doesn't seem right.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The only reason we know about it is because she
self reported herself. That's it, uh, and that is a
dead give it. It's a dead give it. Ninety five
percent of sideline reporting is fluff. It is right, that's it.
Occasionally we do get a player that just explodes and
(22:45):
says something ridiculous, but that that I don't even know
if that's five percent, and that has little or nothing
to do with the actual reporter. It's just happy having
to put a microphone in a guy's face when they've
just played poorly.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Our final point, so, imagine if you will, a world abroad,
far far away. Imagine if you will, a world where
there are none of these sideline reporters Like I've actually
done the job years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
If you followed what I've done over the years, you
probably haven't. You don't know who the hell I am.
But I, for one day was the sideline reporter in.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Norman, Oklahoma, for a network radio broadcast of the Oklahoma
Sooners and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. And it was awesome, right,
it was great. I'd never been to an environment like that.
But it was also the easiest gig I've ever had.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
It really was.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It is so much easier than doing a radio show
or even a TV show. It's just not even close.
And so listen, what would happen if you got rid
of all sideline reporters, it would actually in many ways
improve the viewing experience. And I don't want to step
on any toes. I have friends who are sideline reporters,
(23:57):
and I think some of these people who.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Do this are very good at what they do.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's just not something that I really care about, right,
So as the players like to say, it's not personal,
it's just it's just reality, right that the Sideline report
I often find intrusive, and it's stuff I can find
if I want on.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
X or a Wikipedia. It's just like time filling, right.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And for the one percent, the one percent I say
one percenters I'm talking about like friends and family of
the sideline reporter.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
They love it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
It's essential, it's wonderful. But for ninety nine percent of
the viewers, it's like going to Ikea and saying, do
I want drapes or blinds?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
At Ikea? Which one do I want?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's window dress, That's it. It's window dressing, is what
it is. But I would like to thank Chris Thompson.
I want to thank these other women because you made
me laugh all day with all of these ridiculous reactions exist.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It's so great. You have made my dad.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You're all comic geniuses. Thank you, thank you, thank you
a million times. So good man alive, just wonderful.

It's Mallard. How about that to the third degree.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
This is one gets grailed.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And we are off to the races. Coupler.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
It's being reported that Texas A and M reached out
to Dan Campbell about their head coaching job, but Campbell
informed them that he plans on staying with the Lions.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Is that the right choice?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
This is like when I reached out to cow Hurts
people and said I want his job and they laughed
at me. No, listen, it's never over till it's over.
Until Texas A and M hires a coach. There's a
chance that somebody like Dan Campbell would leave. The only
reason to take the A and M job is it
is a golden parachute, right, That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
It's the end of the rainbow. It's the pot of gold.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
But coaching in the NFL is better than coaching in
college football to infinish the NBI, and Dan Camble's got
a good thing going on in Michigan, So why screw
that up and leave? It doesn't make a lot of sense.
The Lions are a good team this year next.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Major League Baseball is reportedly considering a reduction of the
pitch clock, where when runners are on base from twenty
seconds to eighteen seconds, Ben, do you think those two
seconds will really make a difference.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, Coop, I'm sure, like me, you've heard that every
second counts depending.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
On what you're doing. But yeah, I don't have a
problem with this.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'm shocked that there were not more blow ups in baseball,
and considering that I am on time malerd by the
clock for the clock plausably all about the clock.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (27:38):

and there were only a few minor incidents, so it
seems fin Next.

the Charm City, The Ravens hosting the Bengals in a
made for TV matchup with Almichaels and Kirk Herb Street
(01:37):
hanging out there. And if you watched this game the
Thursday Night special, maybe not. Lamar Jackson played pretty well
over three hundred yards. It was also pretty lucky on
some of those passes and certainly had the officials in
his back pocket. But a couple of touchdowns the Ravens
serve shall we say, poetic justice to the Bengals thirty
(02:02):
four to twenty in a game that was not that
close in Maryland. Now Baltimore improves to eight and three.
They're currently the number two seed in the American Football Conference,
bird dogging the Chiefs, who close out Week eleven as
they take on the Eagles in the Monday night game Cincinnati.
(02:23):
They are now four and five. But the better story
is in the losing locker room or should we say,
should we say the losing injury tent, because that's what
you will find. Joe Burrow. Yeah, this is the story
of the night. The Bengals quarterback. The early report the
sprained right risk, sprained right risk. The injury forced them
(02:44):
out of the game and expected to be out for
an extended period of time. Burrow hurting his wrist, probably
several days ago, but in this game, he exited in
the second quarter, right after throwing a touchdown pass to
Joe Mixon that gave the Bengals the lead ten to seven. Now,
(03:04):
once I saw Joe Burrow go into the injury tent,
I said, that's it.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
My bet is overright, no chance, no chance, all right,
So the Ravens win that. Really they were given the
game once once Burrow got hurt. So let us discuss
the question where is the malor worry O meter for
Joe Burrow's wrist.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So on the malor worrio meter one to ten, this
is a nine point oh nine point zero on the
malor worrio meter.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I've got Lizzo pinatas and a t Rex stuffed animal,
and we'll combine all of these things together and we're
gonna get you some anxiety meds if you like the
Bengals or you happen to have Joe Burrow as your
fantasy quarterback. So so ay, we're at a solid nine
(04:03):
because even if this is not a season ending injury,
the Burrow injury, they have no margin Forreyer, right, even
if Burrow can come back, this season, if he's missing
multiple games and they were to lose those games, that's
all she wrote. As of now, the Bengals playoff hopes
(04:23):
are on life support. When you look at their record
against AFC opponents, they're just a five hundred team.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You are what your record says you are. They have
a faint pulse.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
But if Burrow's playing, that's a little more than a
faint pulse, because Burrow's that capable of going on a
Burro burner.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
There's no such thing as momentum. But he can play
consistently well for a period of time. And Lizzo, of
all people, has entered the chat.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
She's warming up her vocal corse right now, and she's
looking at the song sheet, and the song sheet there
says turn out the last the parties over. Back up
Jake Browning for Cincinnati. Now that is actually Yiddish. Browning
is Yiddish for can't play.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Uh. He looks like your standard Ham and Egger mix. Whoever.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Your Your definition of a bad quarterback is Mac Jones,
Zach Wilson, Kenny Pickett. Now, these guys can play. He's
a jag, but not a Jacksonville jack. Just just a guy,
just a guy now to answer the question, why did
the Bengals have no other options?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Why why do they not have a better backup quarterback
on the roster. Well, the simple answer is they cost
money to pay a backup quarterback. The Bengals are notorious frugal,
notoriously frugal. But also I always go back in these
situations to the the great Tom Moore was with the
Indianapolis Colts for a long time, been around the NFL
as an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I think he's mostly retired as a consultant these.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Days, but he was asked a question years ago about
Peyton Manning and I'm gonna pair his response. I'm gonna
change it up for the modern story that we're talking about.
But the question would be why do backups not get
more reps? Right as a guy like Jake Browning not
get more opportunity and practice, And a guy like Tom
Moore would say, fellas, if number nine goes down, we're porked,
(06:19):
and we don't practice porked like to learn all the affiliates.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
That was a radio edit. He used a different word
than porked. I cleaned it up. I cleaned it up.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
But the Bengals would be bacon, Bengal bacon, and I'll
bet you someplace at a hotel in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Carson Wentz is whimpering, wishing.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
If I'd only waited, if I'd only waited another couple
of weeks, I would have gone to Cincinnati. But no, no,
I was stuck with the Rams right turning the page.
So pundits are already speculating that the Bengals are in
deep doo doo, that they're gonna get essentially court martialed
by the NFL because of Joe Burrow's injury. Now, why
(07:03):
is that some video was bouncing around the echo chamber
of social media. It has been deleted. It was deleted
shortly after it was posted. The posting by the Cincinnati
football team on social media is getting some into a lather.
You see if you haven't, if you haven't seen this
in the clip for our blindlisters. In the clip, Joe
(07:25):
Burrow can be seen getting off the Bengals team bus. Well,
who cares about that, right? I mean, I've gotten off
a bus. I'm sure you've probably gotten off a bus
at some point in your life. But he was wearing
some kind of brace or protective sleeve something on his
right hand and in the week leading up to this game, Burrow.
(07:47):
Let me let me check the Bengal injury report and
we'll go page down. Uh, Paige, Joe Burrow not on
the Bengals injury report?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
What WHOA? Now? The NFL they claim they have no room,
no room.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
For this kind of nonsense, these kind of shenanigans. They
take these injuries very seriously. So the question what kind
of punishment are the Bengals going to get for circumventing
the NFL injury list and hiding the Burrow injury. So Cincinnati,
here's what's gonna happen for their coaching staff to front office.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
They will be human pinatas, human pinatas. That's public shaming.
The cover up is worse than the crime.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
If only Joe Burrow had stayed healthy, nobody would have
known about this. But the NFL is a conduit to gambling, right,
They're a pipeline to gambling. That is the financial bonanza
for the NFL. You can't watch an NFL game.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And I love gambling. Listen, I go gambling show on
television on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I love gambling, but every other commercials gambling gambling gambling,
so expect the Bengals to be fined and Zach Taylor
will also be fine. This happened a few years ago
Mike Tomlin and the Steelers not exactly the same, but
Ben Roethlisberger was the quarterback at the time, and he
didn't show up on the injury report, but he was hurt.
And so the NFL thing the Steelers Now, it's a
(09:13):
little different because gambling is much more prevalent now than
it was four years ago.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
However, the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Are not a regular in this world, so it's not
like they have a track record. They're not like Draymond
Green where they've got a lot of recidivism. So I'm
gonna say that they're gonna get a fine. And that's
it now the last word here, let's go to the
winning locker room. The game itself not really a good
talker because once Joe Burrow got hurt the Ravens they
(09:41):
were given the game.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Here you go take it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But there is a big storyline with Baltimore tight end
Mark Andrews.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
His season Cop.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Butt buppkis over for me too, gun skies for Mark Andrews.
He suffered a late left ankle in on the opening drive.
John Harbaugh announcing after the game that is a big
deal and season ender, season ender against tarbor A season
(10:11):
enter four Andrews.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
According to Harbaugh, so.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Put in the words how big a loss Mark Andrews
is for the Ravens who are cooking right now at
eight and three. So the way I would describe it,
it's like flashing back to when you were six years
old and you went on a like a road trip
with the family, and you were on a on a
(10:36):
Jet Blue plane and you left your favorite t Rex
stuffed animal on the plane and you were you were
really upset.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
This is a devastation situation.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
The reason it's a devastation situation is because Mark Andrews
is Lamar Jackson's safety blanket. It's he's his blinking right
went in doubt, throw the ball out to Mark Andrews.
The numbers are redonculous with these two. Andrews gets over
thirty percent of all the targets. He's the top pass
(11:10):
catcher in every category from Lamar Jackson since they both
came into the NFL. And the name that will pop
up and we'll we'll throw it out right now, right
We'll try to get ahead of the mainstream. The Ravens
could look for a diamond in the rough. But the
obvious connection here is Rob Gronkowski. Will the Ravens be
(11:35):
able to convince Rob Gronkowski to come back developing hot
dot dot dot. Now, Gronkowski will like to flirt with
the Ravens. He likes to do that, but ultimately I've
looked at him and he's little Finn, Little Finn gota
fat him up. I don't think he's anywhere close to
being able to play. Even if he wanted to come back.
(11:56):
I don't think he'd be making much of an impact
based on what I've seen of his podcast shenanigans and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But this is actually I'm gonna be Betty bright Side
here for a second.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I want to be Betty Bright's side for the Ravens
because there is a dimension in the Twilight Zone where
this ends up a blessing.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Let me tell you why.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Because Lamar Jackson is going to have to get over
his crutch or the Ravens are on a Kamakazi mission here,
it's not gonna work. Lamar's had a blind spot. He
doesn't trust his receivers, maybe his receivers blow. I don't know,
but he's so dependent on throwing the Mark Andrews that
(12:42):
it becomes a net negative. When you play the Ravens,
you know where the ball is gonna go, and he
doesn't really spread it around. So in that dimension, in
the twilight Zone, Lamar is going to have to share
the sugar.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And that's not a bad thing. That's actually good thing.
It's a positive thing. If you're gonna do.

just have to fake it until you make it. Well,
come in the beginning of another hour of The Ben

Speaker 3 (13:34):
We are in the air everywhere, side.

this is a story that I can really wrap my
arms around.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I love this story.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
These are the kind of stories media media a musings.
Just love them, just love them. And our league comes
from the sidelines. In a story that has bounced all
over sports media circles, Fox Sports, Carrissa Thompson has created
quite the hullabloop.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
She is under attack at this point. What did she do?
What did Carrissa Thompson do?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now, if you have not, if you're not heard, because
maybe you're not worried about this, you're not in You're
not in the sports media.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
You're not in the sports media.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So Carrissa Thompson has a bullseye on her back among
sideline divas. This is after she admitted that in the
past she would just like make quotes up from coaches
during NFL games and in fact, just to prove I'm
not making this up, in a podcast, a recent podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Interview, he was the pardon the take. I think that
was the name of a podcast.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I don't know what that is, but anyway, here is
Carrissa Thompson and listen, this is the audio that everyone's
talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Take a list.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
And I've said this before, so I haven't been fired
for saying it, but I'll say it again. I would
make up the report sometimes because a the coach wouldn't
come out at halftime or it was too late, and
I was like, I didn't want to screw up the report.
So I was like, I'm just going to make this
up because first of all, no coach is going to
get mad if I say, hey, we need to stop
hurting ourselves. We needed to be better on third down,
we need to stop turning the ball quarterback. We need yeah, exactly,
(15:53):
and do a better job of getting off the field.
Like they're not going to correct me on that. I'm like,
it's fine, I'll just make up the report.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh my god, Now that led to fire and Brimstone.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
That led to fire in Brimstone.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Dante's Inferno, Dante's Inferno, Sodom and Gomorrah.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The reaction, Oh my god, I laugh.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
We a bunch of my buddies in the in the media,
we've we've been exchanging the most ridiculous reactions to that
pretty benign audio. But it was full condemnation and vilification
of Carrissa Thompson. So let us discuss. You heard the
audio Carissa Thompson causing outrage and media circles by saying
(16:44):
that she just made up NFL coaches quotes at halftime
while working the sidelines. Did she violate Carrissa Thompson the
broadcasting oath? So I have Wiener, Mobile, Ron and Ikea,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(17:08):
we will make an angel. Because remember, angels fly because
they take themselves lightly. And there's a lot of sideline
reporters that do not take themselves lightly. So number wa Yeah.
So to answer the question, did Carissa Thompson violate the
broadcasting oath? As someone that's spent my entire adult life
in broadcasting.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
No, I'm shaking my head. No, it's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
This story has been wildfire, wildfire. It has been spreading
round and round and round and round. Everyone's indulging in
the story.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The sports media world's picked up more fuel and I
gave a guffall. I've been, as I said, I've been
laughing as these reactions have come in. And when I
first thought, I thought, man, this is hilarious, because Carrisa
Thompson said the.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Quiet part out loud.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
She took you inside the Wiener Mobile to the Oscar
Meyer plant, and there's a bunch of hot doggers and
here's how we make the sausage.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
There is no hippocratic oath for broadcasters. There are plenty
of scumbags that work in broadcasting, every man, woman and
child for themselves. But this story, this particular story, you know,
it reminds me of my days when I started out.
I started in radio. I was nineteen years old. I
was a radio stringer, which is a radio reporter, and
(18:33):
I needed audio. My all I was there to do
was get soundbites after I did in game reports, but
mostly it was after the game, and they used to
have these things we had called into radio stations before
the Internet and give score updates. And so that was
my gig and I got paid to do it, not
very well. I made crappy money, but I made more
money for the postgame audio.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So I had to go in to the locker room
and interview players, which I hated because the players didn't
want to do it. I didn't want to do it smells.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Disgusting players or a holes, but I did it because
I need the money and it was the way I
could go to the games for free. So I'd go
in these locker rooms and i'd have to interview guys
on their team lost.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Nobody wants to talk when they lose, complete schmucks.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And on more than one occasion, as we go back
in the hot up time machine, on more than one occasion,
I would go up to a player and the player
would say, just you know, whatever you want, pick up,
pick a cliche, I don't care. And then I would
have to explain to the player that I work in
audio and I need you to say the cliche and
(19:33):
I'll never forget. There's a great sports writer named Terry Johnson.
He covered the Dodgers. He passed away years ago, but
a very funny guy. Describe and what he would do
is he would just go up to the player who
was grumpy after game and say, all right, here's the
quote I'm If you don't give me a quote, I'm
just going to use a generic one and I'm gonna
(19:55):
give you options, and then he would go like ABC one,
two three that you know, we just like, we just
got to stick together. You know, it's only one game.
It's a long season. You know, I believe in this team.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Like any of those boilerplate responses. I have very fun memory.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
So when I saw this, I was like, well, I mean,
as she said, Chrissa Thompson, she went generic. She went
generic because she knew she was fully aware that nothing
was going to come of this in terms of anger.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
And outrage and all that among the coaches.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
So pressing on from that, why have these sideline reporters'
reactions been so unhinged, because that's the part of the
story as we go down the topic tree, which I
get a kick out. Now some of my favorites here.
Tracy Wolfson of CBS said of CHRISA. Thompson, this is
(20:51):
absolutely not okay. Laura Oakman said she was devastated by
this story. Tafoya, who's now out of broadcasting, said it
was professional fraud. My favorite, though, was Andrea Kramer, who
I don't think is doing anything these days, but she
said she was sickened she was.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Dull. All right.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Now there are others, but you get the point. So again,
why have these sideline reporters' reactions been so an inch u.
Part of it is attack, attacking the sisterhood. And you
also take yourself way too seriously, and it's we're in
an era where if you play the victim, you're celebrator.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Right, Oh, you're the victim.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Here a sideline diva on sideline diva crime. And there
is a bit of cosplay involved, a little bit of cosplay.
It's like Ron Burgundy from Anchorman. Well, that escalated quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I really got out of hand.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And it's like these these these people are living in
a glass case of emotion, and I get it.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
This is the life's work.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And it's yet again been exposed as completely unnecessary and pointless.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
The fact that Carrissa Thompson.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Was making up quotes on NFL broadcast and A none
of the coaches cared, none of the coaches called her
out on it. B nobody watching, nobody watching said wait
a minute.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That doesn't seem right.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The only reason we know about it is because she
self reported herself. That's it, uh, and that is a
dead give it. It's a dead give it. Ninety five
percent of sideline reporting is fluff. It is right, that's it.
Occasionally we do get a player that just explodes and
(22:45):
says something ridiculous, but that that I don't even know
if that's five percent, and that has little or nothing
to do with the actual reporter. It's just happy having
to put a microphone in a guy's face when they've
just played poorly.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Our final point, so, imagine if you will, a world abroad,
far far away. Imagine if you will, a world where
there are none of these sideline reporters Like I've actually
done the job years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
If you followed what I've done over the years, you
probably haven't. You don't know who the hell I am.
But I, for one day was the sideline reporter in.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Norman, Oklahoma, for a network radio broadcast of the Oklahoma
Sooners and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. And it was awesome, right,
it was great. I'd never been to an environment like that.
But it was also the easiest gig I've ever had.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
It really was.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It is so much easier than doing a radio show
or even a TV show. It's just not even close.
And so listen, what would happen if you got rid
of all sideline reporters, it would actually in many ways
improve the viewing experience. And I don't want to step
on any toes. I have friends who are sideline reporters,
(23:57):
and I think some of these people who.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Do this are very good at what they do.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's just not something that I really care about, right,
So as the players like to say, it's not personal,
it's just it's just reality, right that the Sideline report
I often find intrusive, and it's stuff I can find
if I want on.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
X or a Wikipedia. It's just like time filling, right.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And for the one percent, the one percent I say
one percenters I'm talking about like friends and family of
the sideline reporter.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
They love it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
It's essential, it's wonderful. But for ninety nine percent of
the viewers, it's like going to Ikea and saying, do
I want drapes or blinds?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
At Ikea? Which one do I want?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's window dress, That's it. It's window dressing, is what
it is. But I would like to thank Chris Thompson.
I want to thank these other women because you made
me laugh all day with all of these ridiculous reactions exist.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It's so great. You have made my dad.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You're all comic geniuses. Thank you, thank you, thank you
a million times. So good man alive, just wonderful.

It's Mallard. How about that to the third degree.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
This is one gets grailed.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And we are off to the races. Coupler.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
It's being reported that Texas A and M reached out
to Dan Campbell about their head coaching job, but Campbell
informed them that he plans on staying with the Lions.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Is that the right choice?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
This is like when I reached out to cow Hurts
people and said I want his job and they laughed
at me. No, listen, it's never over till it's over.
Until Texas A and M hires a coach. There's a
chance that somebody like Dan Campbell would leave. The only
reason to take the A and M job is it
is a golden parachute, right, That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
It's the end of the rainbow. It's the pot of gold.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
But coaching in the NFL is better than coaching in
college football to infinish the NBI, and Dan Camble's got
a good thing going on in Michigan, So why screw
that up and leave? It doesn't make a lot of sense.
The Lions are a good team this year next.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Major League Baseball is reportedly considering a reduction of the
pitch clock, where when runners are on base from twenty
seconds to eighteen seconds, Ben, do you think those two
seconds will really make a difference.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, Coop, I'm sure, like me, you've heard that every
second counts depending.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
On what you're doing. But yeah, I don't have a
problem with this.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'm shocked that there were not more blow ups in baseball,
and considering that I am on time malerd by the
clock for the clock plausably all about the clock.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Nobody seemed to make a big deal over the thing,
and there were only a few minor incidents, so it
seems fin Next.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Blake Snell was named al Cy Young Award winner, and
the aclade comes just as he is entering free agency.
