Buying Show be in our headline this hour from South
(01:34):
Florid where the Dolphins were riding high in September, they
were riding high in November and all these other months
up until recently. And actually it won a bunch of
games in a row. But wow, what a what a game.
We actually had two games on Monday Night football and
both didn't suck. What happened? They were alright, They were
(01:54):
alright games. The Giants upset the package. We're gonna focus
in on Miami baby South Florid as they were played
at the same exact time. Tremendous scheduling by the NFL,
so stupid anyway, biggest point spread of Week fourteen. If
you're a gambler, you knew that the largest point spread
(02:15):
in Week fourteen. The Dolphins expected to toast the Titans,
nice toasty Titans in this game. But obviously that did
not happen. If you didn't see it and you missed
what happened here, it was a barn burner, though it
wasn't a barn burner until the fourth quarter. But rookie
Will Levis throwing for three hundred and twenty seven yards.
(02:39):
That's a career high. But he's a rookie. Rookie also
not one but two two touchdown drives in the final
five minutes actually found four and a half minutes of
the football game, and the Tennessee football team squeeze past
the Fish twenty eight to twenty seven on Monday Night Football.
(03:01):
The Dolphins, who actually were the number one seed in
the AFC, are no longer after that particular loss, as
they go down the Titans at five and eight, held
to a tongue of iloa and what was supposed to
be an explosive Miami offense. That was the billing. They
held them in check for pretty much the entire game
(03:24):
up until the fourth quarter. At the three quarters into
the game, it was like what's going on here? And
still even after Tennessee fell behind, they were down by
two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and then came back
and win it a couple of big mistakes, the Dolphins
dropped to nine and four on the season. Raheem mostered
(03:48):
running for a touchdown. He had the touchdown of three yards,
also another touchdown of five yards, So Miami they were
leading twenty seven to thirteen. They end up blowing the lead.
They lose by a point. So let us discuss the
better story is in the losing locker room talking about
this Miami Tennessee games. So we're gonna start there. How
do you assess how do you assess to a tongue
(04:09):
of Iloa's performance for the Dolphins in this game. So
I've got heavy metal band, parachute, and Huggies and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make sunglasses, which is what Tour is gonna
have to wear because he's gonna want to hide after
this performance. May So, how do you assess to a
(04:32):
tongue of Iloa's performance? The Dolphins did not score an
offense if touchdown until the fourth quarter. They went three
plus quarters without finding pay dirt as an offense. Tua
was not only a quarterback, he was lousy. He was
a dog with fleas most of this game. That was
(04:53):
the Tour we remember from early on in his career,
and on the Mallor report card gets the F. He
gets the F. That's the reality there, and epic failure
to a tongue of Iloa looked completely overmatched, completely overmatched
by a middling Mike Rabel Titans defense. It's not like
(05:16):
these are good defensive players that they have on Tennessee.
The Titans are just another suck team in the NFL,
and these are normally the games that Dolphins win by
thirty five points. That's why they were such a massive
favorite in this game. But the quarterback Tongue of Iloa,
who had been mentioned as an MVP canndy that he's
(05:39):
in the odds you can bet on the MVP at
the different sportsbooks and Tua his name up there. We
can now turn out the last the parties over on
the tour Tongue of Iloa MVP campaign that came to
an end on Monday night, not that it really was
going to lead anywhere anyway. But the same guy that
(06:00):
had lit the fire around the NFL for offensive football
the first couple of months of the NFL season two,
a Tongue of Aloa. In this game, he was a politician.
He was the mayor of Barf City, as he barfed
all over the field here and it is validation that
Tua continues to sail unto under false colors. Now, the
(06:24):
most amazing part of Tua is that he hasn't gotten hurt, right,
he just waited. After what's happened recently, You're like, wow,
he's gonna get hurt at some way, and he got hurt,
so he stayed healthy. That's the good news. The bad
news is it's games like this that remind you he's
not the person that stirs the drink for the Miami Dolphins.
So he's a dime a dozen guy. When you peel
(06:45):
back the onion for the Miami Dolphins. Here you take
away the heavy artillery. What do you get? What do
you get? Right? Great players are able to overcome all
of that. And what I saw my and maybe my
TV was broken, but what I saw from tongue of
by Law is a guy incapable of making players around
(07:07):
him better. Do you see anybody step up around to it?
Did he help anyone step up? In this game? To
a tongue of by low and reminded me of brock Party.
Brock Perty is also a guy like this where you
take away a couple of linemen and the Deebo Samuel
all of a sudden, the guy's a second rate quarterback.
But when he has all those guys, dumb fans say,
(07:27):
oh he's great, he's wonderful. Okay, Well, the great players,
when you take away a couple of those guys, they
still perform well. Tua did not perform well in this game,
and he's like a heavy metal band from the nineties.
You might remember. They're still around the system of a down,
as in the system gone down, down, down down, the
(07:49):
system quarterback right. Several offensive linemen dinged up. The center
got hurt in this game early on, and Tua, suffering
from halatosis, needed some mouthwash. The way he was playing
this game, botching it. The Dolphins all they need, even
at the end the Dolphins got the ball back, there
was like a minute and a half on the clock.
(08:09):
Down by a point. Field goal wins the game. They
take over first and ten from their own twenty six
yard line. All they need to do is get in
the field goal range. These kickers kick field goals from
like eighty yards away. I might be exaggerating, but you
get the point. I mean, the ridiculous kickers here, and
he can't even get them in the field goal position.
(08:31):
He can't even give them a shot for their idiot
kicker to miss a field goal. That's how incompetent tool was.
And then the guy that's supposedly a rookie, he's a
rookie that likes his mayonnaise and his coffee there Will Levis.
He ends up leading two late touchdown drives for the
Tennessee football team. Now page two, here, where does this
(08:52):
Monday night game for Miami? Where does where does this
leave Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins? Where do they go
from here? Where do Dolphins go from here? If you're
Mike McDaniel at this point, so that's only one game
and swat who cares well? I would advise the Dolphins,
and I'm never wrong about this stuff, to get fitted
(09:13):
for a parachute because they're about to go free falling,
free falling, the Miami Dolphins. Holy crap on a cracker.
You look at what's ahead now for the Dolphins. I
don't want to overreact to be prison of them all Meade,
but you look at the Dolphins here, and we always
here at this time of the year. It's not September football,
it's not October, you know, October, September Nobber those early
(09:36):
parts of the calendar where people go out and they
light the scoreboard up. The demolition derby has taken over.
By the time we get to this part of the calendar,
the demolition derby is taken over. Which means you're no
longer if you're you're better athletically, you're not gonna just
run by everyone because you've got a lot of bruises
(09:56):
and you're banged up and all that stuff. So you
have to use a little more grid, little more moxie
this time of the year. And Mike McDaniel, he better
figure some stuff out quick. Mike McDaniel, right, because this
is the time of the year where they separate the
sheep from the coats. I read that on a bumper
sticker years ago. In this case, they separate the Dolphins
(10:17):
from the rest of the NFL. But with a banged
up offensive line. Tyreek Hill, he did come back in
this game, but fragile Tyreek Hill. Miami also is moving
into the boiling cauldron. They're moving into the boiling cauldron here.
If you look at what's upcoming now. The Jets are
a bad team with a good defense. That's what's up
(10:38):
next for Miami. That game will be in South Florida.
The Cowboys, how about them Cowboys? Now games in Florida, Now,
Cowboys on the road are not as good and they
could certainly lose that game, but it's no guarantee So
you've got Jets Cowboys up next, then a visit to Baltimore.
I'm sure the weather will be great in Baltimore, and
then you have to go and play at home against
(11:00):
the Buffalo Bills, so the Buffalo does benefit then. I mean,
this could not have worked out any sweeter for Buffalo. Now,
they're not going to catch the Miami Dolphins, but if
things really turn sideways, there's like a sliver of a chance, right,
I think they could really screw up in Miami. And
there's a dimension. I'm not in this dimension, but there's
(11:22):
a dimension where the Dolphins go out and lose to
the Jets because Tua gets twisted into a pretzel by
the Jets defense. They lose to the Cowboys, go to
Baltimore and they freeze their balls off in Baltimore. They
don't win that game, and then they have to go
home and play Buffalo, and then that game will have
some meaning, and then they'll lose that and they lose
every game. Now again I'm not in that dimension, but
(11:42):
that dimension does exist. It does exist. But at being measured,
the Dolphins are looking at least at two, probably three
more losses. At least two will circle the Baltimore game
as a loss, and then the Cowboy or Jets game,
(12:03):
possibly both as losses. So that's three more losses for
the Dolphins, and suddenly that record's not quite as sexy
as it look like it was going to be. All right,
last word here, So where does on the other side,
where does this particular rookie game for Will Levis, This
is if a couple of touchdown drives late in the game,
(12:25):
Where does this performance by Will Levis leave his future
with the Titans. Well, obviously it's not a negative. You
can't say it's a negative. It's a positive. It's not
a negative. And so he's still in that audition phase
the Titans, I would say this point, even after this performance,
if they can find someone better, they're obviously going to
(12:46):
do it right. They're gonna go out and get somebody better.
You're gonna hear than the usual names that will be
tossed around. Kyler Murray's gonna change teams, the Alligator Arms Murray,
Guy Kirk Cousins if he's healthy, will change teams. You
gotta think that are going to try to trade Daniel
Jones because he blows. Now, why would anyone want him?
But we're gonna play quarterback. We're let and so Tennessee
(13:06):
they don't have a bona fide stud quarterback, and so
you're like, well, this doesn't guarantee that Will Levis is
going to be the guy going forward. He's still in
the audition face, as we said. But after that hiccup
early in the game, he threw a pick six if
you're watching an early game, and that's how the Dolphins
scored their first touchdown for the first three quarters of
(13:27):
the game, a pick six. But Will Levis outplayed to
in his building, for whatever that's worth. He had a
dazzling stat line the sexy numbers over three hundred yards passing.
But the most impressive thing that I saw from sitting
on my fat ass watching Will Levis play quarterback for
the Tennessee Titans. If you check the Huggies, all right,
(13:48):
if you checked the Huggies, here clean diaper. He didn't
poop his diaper. He has a clean diaper, and other
quarterbacks to poop the diaper at the end, right, he
had a chance used to play hero ball at the
end and lead the Dolphins down the field for a
game winning field goal, and he didn't come close, turn
it over on downs to it did now. It also
(14:09):
helps that a guy named DeAndre Hopkins went in the
way back machine and played like it was ten years
ago or five years ago as he ran circles around
the Miami Secondary seven catches one hundred and twenty four
yards in a touchdown that was a vintage performance by
DeAndre Hopkins of the Tennessee Titans.

Tyraq dot Com The Way tire buying should be. So
we had two money Nike games. We're gonna push back.
I'll do a mall monologue later on about the game
(15:42):
that was played in Jersey. The Giants end up winning
Tommy Cutlets over the Green Bay Packers, as the Giants
have won three in a row with a guy that
looked like he had never played quarterback before when the
Giants tossed him out there earlier this year. So the
Giants upset the Packers, green Bay favored on the road
in that game, and the Miami Dolphins were upset by
(16:05):
the Tennessee Titans. Some wild and crazy things happening in
the NFL. We'll get back to that later. But our
lead this hour from pro bouncy ball, and you know
it has to be good. It has to be good
on a night when there's two NFL games for the hour.
Two Mallard monologue be focused in on basketball. But man, alive,
(16:27):
what a gift. Sometimes you don't have to do anything.
You just turn the mic on. You're good to go.
You're good to go. And this is one of those hours.
The news coming out of King James Land, if you will,
if you did not hear, and maybe not. We learned
that the Lakers who celebrated with cigars and champagne after
(16:48):
winning their little make believe title over the weekend. The
Lakers who had said a week ago they were not
not going to put any kind of a banner up.
They had a team policy that they only put championship
banners up. They don't put division titles up, they don't
put conference championships up. They only put world championships up. Well,
(17:08):
the Lakers. The jokes on you if you believe them.
The Lakers have done a one point eighty now and
they will will raise a banner for winning the Fulgasey
in season tournament. This is not a drill. This is
not a drill. They're actually efing doing it. They're going
(17:30):
to do it. How amazing is this? The once proud
franchise and the now tarnished franchise in Los Angeles will
put up a banner to celebrate games that were played
in November and December. Unbelievable. Right now that they're trying
(17:52):
to spin this off saying, well, it's gonna be different,
it's not gonna be the same thing. It's gonna be
like your high school banner where they just put a
years up. He put a year's up, So they're gonna
put a banner up, and boy, you talk about what
an embarrassment. Everyone is just laughing their ass off at
the Lakers, and I'm here for it. I am absolutely
(18:15):
here for it. Now we're told the new banner for
the Lakers will go up here this weekend. They have
not talked about exactly what will be on there. Say
a lit'ill be a different shape, and I guess there'll
be some different colors on there and things like that.
So let us discuss the question when you first saw
(18:36):
this story that the Lakers were hoisting an in season
tournament banner to the heavens, to the rafters, what did
you think. So I've got Melrose, Bruski and road Runners,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make laughing gas, which is what
(18:56):
I thought I had ingested when I first saw this story.
I thought I had come in contact with laughing gas.
I could not stop chuckling. So Number one, yeah, so
I sleep during the day. As you know, I would
(19:16):
do an overnight show. If you're listening live, you also
worked overnight, so you have insomnia. But I sleep during
the day, so when I wake up, I find out
what happened in the world when I was sleeping. And
I awoke to several very passionate messages from people I've
associated with over the years in sports media who could
(19:38):
not wait with the glee and the joy, they could
not wait to reach out to me and send me
this message, and so they sent me a clip. The
first first one I saw was a clip that said
Lakers to raise in season banner, and so then I
was like, Okay, this must be Sports Talk Barry. This
has got to be the work of sports Talk Berry.
(20:00):
He's an artisan in this kind of stuff, and that'sought. Well,
maybe it's buck Butt Crack Sports. Maybe it's them Babylon Bee,
possibly the Onion. No, no, it's real. Oh that yeah,
it's real. Who raises a banner after less than twenty
five games? Well, we now have the answer, the Lakers.
That's the answer. Last I checked. Maybe I'm wrong on this,
(20:22):
I don't know. I just do the Overnight Show, but
I think the Lakers play. Every NBA team plays eighty
two games, not just the Lakers, every team, and then
they have it's called the it's called their in season
tournament to make the playoffs, and then they have a
playoff tournament and then the team that wins that they
then get to celebrate a championship. So wow, I mean, geez, geez, jeez,
(20:46):
geez geez, what are we doing? I mean, Mike, I
thought it was parody. I did. I'm not. I'm not exaggerating,
you know, I'm just doing it because you know, I'm
a Laker hater and all that. I thought it was parady.
All the people I know, and I know a lot
of people that like the because they all are bragged docias.
We don't do things like that. That's what the other
teams do. We do not operate that way. No, that's
(21:09):
what your little Fugese team's over there. They're no. Now,
we're different. We only put championship banners up. We're the Lakers,
so good and south fricking gut. They're putting a banner
up for a stupid thing that was only put in
there to get ratings for television because no one watches
the NBA in November December. Me and then the other
(21:35):
thought I had was, you know, boy, our guy Jay Moore,
who's part of the Fox Sports Radio alumni association he
now owns the Lakers. Jay Moore is rubbing off on
the Laker franchise there. It's like the Lakers are having
team meetings on Melrose at the Hollywood improv over there
and they're all doing stand up. Right. It's like, hey,
(21:56):
memo to the people running the Lakers, the you We'll
give you the U for useless. That's what the n
season Tournament was in terms of any kind of viability,
in terms of any kind of real it's useless crown
all right, a lot of artificial fillers sweeteners to inflate
dying TV ratings this time of year. Now, page two here,
(22:19):
is there more to the story that is bouncing around
out to the Lakers are indeed are indeed going to
put this banner up? Is it more than meets the ear?
So there's obviously more than we know on the surface, Right,
You got to dig a little deeper and I'll nod
my head. Yes, there's more to this story than just
(22:41):
the headline. One thing for sure, though, The Lakers are
absolutely cheapening legitimate championships, and there's no way you can
spin this outside of that. What they are doing is
spitting a loogie at Kobe Bryant's legacy, Jerry West, the
legends of the Lakers, right, the Great Lake, Kareem Abdul Jabbar,
(23:04):
there's a loogi right in your eyeball, Kareem from the
Laker franchise, Magic Johnson. There's a kick to the nuts
right there Byron Scott. We're gonna poke you in the eye.
That's how this goes. And there's no way. There's no way.
So I sent some messages out, some correspondence, and that's
trying to figure out what's going on. You're celebrating this,
(23:26):
and it's it's cheapening all those other championships in a
masculating situation. It is right, and I'm so happy it's
happening to the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's emasculating enough that the franchise embarrassed themselves and everyone
laughed at them a few years ago when they celebrated
a Mickey Mouse ring. Right, I mean, how embarrassing is
that you You had four months off, you were at
a resort in Orlando. That's not how you wore championships.
So I guess we should have known if the Laker
franchise has lost their their compass and they celebrate that
(23:59):
that they would certainly celebrate this, right right. I mean,
this is like a hold Mike Bruski situation to the
in the Championship, which was ridiculous, because that's that. We
can get in that again if you want. But the
whispers around the NBA are that Genie Bus got a
phone call from Adam Silver and the big shots over there,
(24:21):
the big cheese at the NBA, and they're like, hey,
we know this is kind of a ridiculous thing, but
we want you to raise a banner up because it'll
legitimize how stupid this n season tournament is in terms
of any real meaning. It's just a play a bunch
of players that are horny to get money so they
can go on vacation and spend their money and blow
(24:41):
their money in can Kun or wherever they choose to
go on vacation. That's not my opinion, by the way.
D'Angelo Russell of the Lakers said, the five hundred thousand
dollars bounty that he's going to get is going to
cover about three vacations. About three. I wonder where he's
going on vacation, my god. But in the eyes of
the NBA, right they have to legitimize this thing, so
(25:02):
put a banner up and all that. But to everyone else,
anyone else who follows sport, who knows anything about sport,
the other championships are collateral damage. I'm sorry, We've got
to celebrate this stupid in season thing, so we're gonna
cheapen everything else. And Genie Buss and she was like, wow,
she had no choice. She's part of the cartel of
(25:23):
basketball and she has to do what the NBA wants.
That's not true. She could have not genuflected to the NBA.
But in pathetically pumping the tires on this in season tournament,
you've downgraded the eleven championships Lakers have won. That's it.
They've eleven champions A lot of people are bad at math.
(25:44):
They think they've won seventeen, but they've not won seventeen championships.
As we pointed out many times over the years, the
Lakers only have eleven championships, and the number seventeens of
bogus number because five of those belonged to Minneapolis. So
right off the top, you shave five championships. So that's
Minneapolis Lakers, not La Lakers. Minneapolis. I was in Minnesota
earlier this year, and they had a George Mikeens statue.
(26:08):
It had Minneapolis, there was like a Minneapolis thing next
to it, and didn't say, didn't say La, did not
say that. Now the Disney Resort one, we don't count
because that's not legit. So that's we eliminate six right there.
And then we look a little further and like, well,
since they haven't won since Kobe was alive and he's
been dead for a while now, and they have one
(26:28):
since twenty ten, that's the last time they won. Thirteen
year drought in that time. All right, final point. So
the NBA, there's a rumor going around that the NBA
is going to guarantee the winner of the playing tournament
starting next season going forward, that they will get at
(26:49):
worst the number seven seed at the end of the season.
So what are your thoughts on the possibility of the
NBA will just hand out you're guaranteed, no matter what happened,
you could lose every game the rest of the season,
you're going to be at least the number seven seed
in the playoffs based on what you do in November
(27:10):
and December. So I don't know anybody that thinks that's
a good idea, other than some people on Fifth Avenue
in New York who are like, hey, we could make
this even bigger. But you're talking about twenty eight percent
of the schedule, hating out a prize for twenty It's
bad enough that they're doing this anyway, but it's not
(27:32):
for me. I have more people watched, and that's great,
we more people watched. Wonderful, congratulations. But the Lakers, for example,
they are fifty nine games to go in the season,
and how many times have we seen teams that peak
too soon, that get off the quick starts and then
fade away as the season goes on the War of Attrition.
(27:54):
But if Adam Silver, if Adam Silver was involved in
the New York Roadrunners, forget that twenty six point two miles. No, no, no,
you would be guaranteed a medal after seven point three miles.
Because the New York marathons it all marathons twenty six
(28:15):
point two miles, right, full marathon, twenty six point two miles.
What the NBA has done is they have manipulated this
to say, all right, we're gonna give title out. It's
a fake title, but we'll give it out after seven
point three percent or seven point three miles, which is
twenty eight percent of a marathon. That and the Lakers
(28:36):
are complicit. They are on board with this. How embarrassing,
How the mighty have fallen. It is the lebronization of
the Laker franchise.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
It is.

has been great in his two games starting for the Browns.
Kevin Stefanski named him the starter for the rest of
the season after Sunday's went over the Jags.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Ben, at what point do you think the magic wears off?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
So I would push back. I want you as my
teacher if you think he's been I don't think he's
been good. He's been alright, he's been average. He's like
the same guy. Joe Flacco since he took over the
Browns is the twenty third ranked quarterback in the NFL.
But the reason he looks good is it's kind of
like you walk into a bar with three ugly people,
(30:16):
you'll look really good because he had PJ. Walker, dtr
and Deshaun Watson, the creepy quarterback who he followed in Cleveland,
and those guys all have their issues, and so Flacco
looks okay. But and then the Browns have a manageable schedule.
I don't think he's gonna play much worse than he's played,
so I think he can play this way as the
(30:37):
twenty third rank quarterback the rest of the year next.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
So the NFC South is a jumbled mess. Now the
Bucksman over the Falcons. Falcons put them in first place,
but Tampa, Atlanta, and New Orleans all have the same
exact record. Ben, who comes out on top in the end?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh, it's gonna be a ball burner. Well, Atlanta plays
Carolina next week in week fifteen, so they should win
that game. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers go to Green Bay,
which means they should lose that game just because it's
gonna be cold, So they're not gonna win that game.
So it's it's by default Atlanta's gonna have the edge here.
(31:13):
I don't trust New Orleans with Derek Carr, but I
guess if you had a gun to the head, New
Orleans has the better defense, So I would take New
Orleans next.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
There was a common reaction after the Lakers drubbing of
the Pelicans in the the semi finals of the nd
season Tournament. The common reaction was that Zion Williamson looks
fat and out of shape. Ben is Zion's career gonna
go the way of Eddie Curry.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
No, what Zion will do is he'll eat himself out
of New Orleans and then he'll go to a good
team as a reclamation project and then have a decent career.
That's how this is gonna go. But he just is
lacking that inner fire. Zion Williamson. How did we know?
Speaker 3 (31:49):
He passed because I have integrity unlike you?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Well, I passed because I earned that pass. I earned
the win. That's why I won.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I earned it. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports
