Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
The flame goes out for the seven Holes. Welcome in
the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, chilling in the audio worlds.
We broadcast from Benny's Boomshaka laka as we are in
(00:59):
the air everywhere coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
On the vast and hypnotically powerful microphones of fs are
ammunating live from the pond. Let's a little frog and
a rather large audio pond. We're broadcasting live from the
Tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
(01:29):
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended and sawers. Tyraqt
dot com the way tire buying should be Malibu Rubin.
He's sent over the years ten thousand correspondence, so he
likes that number. Ten thousand. Our lead this hour, though,
we go to Chestnut Hill, not exactly a hotbed of
(01:51):
college football over the years, but that was the showcase
game on Labor Day, made for primetime unless you have to,
and then you were scarewde you had to go to
those Russian websites to watch the game. But island life
in the Commonwealth as number ten Florida State looking for
(02:12):
redemption after going across the land, across the sea to
play their opener and taking it on the chin, trying
to bounce back after that season opening loss to the
Georgia Tech squad, and then they took on an unranked
Boston College team. Said you look at this game and say, okay,
Florida State, they're not gonna lose two games in a row.
Boston College, Come on, did you watch? Perhaps not, perhaps
(02:37):
you didn't watch, but don't worry, we watched so you
would not have to. In a game that looked like
an intrasquad scrimmage based on the similar uniform colors, it
was very bizarre. I know, Florida State was wearing their
dark unifors, but they have the same colors anyway. Treshaun Ward,
(02:58):
who you don't know? Boston College Jashaun Ward one hundred
and thirty eight yards of offense, including a thirteen yard
touchdown reception. He was a Florida State Seminole, he played
there for several years. Now he's a transfer in the
portal and playing for Boston College, who manhandled number ten
Florida State twenty eight to thirteen. The final Ward had
(03:20):
seventy seven yards on the ground. He added sixty one
yards receiving to get to that total of one hundred
and thirty eight yards. The better story though, in the
losing locker room that is where these Seminoles. Head coach
Mike Norvel said he was quote sick, sick at how
the season started. He also apologized to the Seminole fans.
(03:45):
Whether they accept that apology or not, stay tuned developing
hot dot dot dot. He then apologized to everybody associated
with the program, talking about how disappointing, extremely disappointing the
start to the season. He said, in all phases, we
just weren't good close quote, So let us discuss what
(04:05):
is the temperature in the room for the Seminoles head
coach Mike Norvell. So I've got bingo card, treasure map,
and gillette and we will combine all of these things
together and we'll put the puzzle pieces into play. So
a if you get out the supersonic thermometer and take
(04:30):
the temperature in tallahassee the Seminal football program, which is
known for planting the flame, the flaming arrow on the field,
whether they are lukewarm at this point? Did they bring
back Willie Taggart? And nobody let us know as the coach?
Is that what happened here? My goodness? Who goofed? I've
(04:51):
got to know? Watching the inept Florida State football team,
Mike Novel, he supposedly had the ship turned around. They've
gotten off some bad starts with Novell as the coach,
but the assumption was, oh, they were over the hump
now that things were heading the right direction. It is
unbecoming of the Seminoles the way that they played Florida State.
(05:13):
As a program eyeing bigger and better things, they would
like to leave the ACC and join the Southeastern Conference,
but to start the year losing to the rambling wreck
of Georgia Tech and then Boston College back to back
and belly to belly. That is a masculating for the
Florida State football program. Now, I did see an underlying
(05:35):
condition and we're allowed to talk college football now because
the NFL hasn't started Thursday. That will end and we'll
move back to the NFL. But watching this game, if
you look at the FSU Bingo card, there was a
blank spot under center. A player that coming out of
high school was ranked ahead of C. J. Stroud. Dj
(05:58):
Ui Ungalle was out to lunch in this game. And
he has been so far a pedestrian performer for the Seminals,
highly rated, highly decorated, and the results are just not there.
Now on the other side, is this the beginning of
something big for Bill O'Brien. He's been around the block
(06:19):
a few times, right Bill O'Brien the head coach at
Boston College. So you say it's a stepping stone game, Okay.
BC was methodically running the football down the throats of
the Seminoles defense, right up the middle, right up the gut. There.
The Eagles had two hundred and sixty three yards rushing.
(06:40):
And the thing is they weren't just running past seminal defense.
They were going right up the gut. There's really nothing
in the middle of the Florida State defense and everyone
was watching. Now, Bill O'Brien grizzled coach, mister average in
the NFL with the Texans back of the day. But
he has coached at the highest levels in college and
the NFL Penn State back in the day. So for him,
(07:03):
Boston College the BC gig. It's not that he's gonna
make Boston College some kind of Northeastern juggernaut. That's not it.
But on that stage, in that environment, for BC, you
set it up as a treasure map and you can
go back down the yellow brick road and get one
(07:25):
more shot, one more chance in the NFL. All right
now the last word here and we'll see we have
this sound. But Billy Napier, I want to go back
to this, the Florida coach, billiy Napier, who really is
in a world of hurt at this point here, the
Gators head coach, feeling the walls cave in around him,
(07:48):
despite a seven year, fifty one million dollar contract that
he signed back in twenty twenty one, when he left Louisiana.
So Billion Napier has decided to go where you're not
supposed to go. He has insulted the customers. He has
taking a shot at the customers. Now let's go to
(08:11):
the audio tape.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
We got to go to work on the football part,
you know. And I think we've got to get more.
We've got to become a more consistent team, and we
have to execute better. And if we can focus on
those things and not necessarily what some guy in his
basement saying, and you know, rural central Florida on social media,
then we got a chance to get better.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Right. So are there a lot of basements in rural
central Florida? And do I feel like that's our demographic?
I feel like our demographic is guys in there. If
there is such a thing as basements in rural central Florida,
that's right in our wheelhouse. Like that is that's our
core demographic. So you're attacking the base of the Malad Militia,
(08:56):
the Florida wing of the Mala Militia. Bad job by you.
So where do you file what you just heard the
head coach Billy Napier calling out the Florida fans from
their basement in rural central Florida. This coming after the
Gators lost by let me check my notes here twenty
four points to in state rival Miami. So Napier, he's
(09:21):
breaking the mold here, he's breaking the mold. The mold
is old school Gillett commercial campaign from back in the day.
Never let him see a sweat. Billy Napier, the head
coach of the Florida Gators, wants you to know that
he's got swamp ass right now in more ways than one. Right,
there's a lot of bo. There's a lot of sweat
(09:42):
in the private region, the nether region there for Billy Napier,
extreme bo and good luck. This is usually the beginning
of the end in my experience, based on previous results. Here,
the Gators with Billy Napier have played nine games against rivals.
(10:04):
They won one. They're one and eight against their rivals.
They've played thirteen games against ranked opponents. They're two and
eleven against ranked opponents. But wait, there's more. So they're
nine to four against unranked teams. It seems passable until
you realize that four of those wins are against the
(10:25):
non Power four teams. So against the power teams they're
five and four unranked opponents. I can go on and on,
go on, but you get the point.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
He's Mike Karmen, I'm Dan Bayern.
Speaker 6 (10:46):

Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Carmon and
met Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcasts and
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It is a labor of love. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere, hand in hand as we are
stuck in the sands of time, coast, stuck coast, border
to border and beyond on the vast and gruvilly powerful
(11:36):
microphones of fsre ammating live from the circle, the squared
Circle of audio Pugilism. We're broadcasting live from the tire
rac dot com studios tyre ract dot com. We'll help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand reckon installers. Our
(12:01):
guy Masshole Mickey, who drove in bad weather a tropical
storm to hang out for half an hour in the
rain at a impromptu Malor meet and greet, loves the
number ten thousand. Tire act dot com the way tire
buying shoe be so our lead this hour coming from
(12:22):
the calendar app on your smartphone kind of that is
where if you paid any attention, you'd likely noticed that
Labor Day has now come and gone, and there was
not even a whisper of an NFL game. We had
some JV Island games Sunday, Louisiana State and SC got
(12:46):
together and they did the old Doc dough. That was fine,
and then on Monday night Boston College BC upsetting upsetting
Florida State, and so that attempted to fill the void
for the palette of the hungry football consumer. However, that
(13:07):
will likely be ending soon as soon as next year.
Stay tuned. So if you didn't see this, and perhaps
perhaps you're out of the loop, we learned that the
NFL has the framework in place to move forward with
the start of the NFL season on Labor Day weekend
(13:33):
that they used to do this. It's been a generation
since the NFL played on Labor Day, but under the plan,
they would have games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday night, kicking off the NFL season on Labor Day weekend.
(13:54):
So let us discuss the question, are you ready for
the NFL to ake over a hostile takeover of Labor
Day weekend. I've got hamburger, helper, bag, get and ceremonial
and we will combine all of these things together and
(14:14):
we are going to scream and shout and let it
all out. So numb to answer the question, are you
ready for the NFL to invade as an invasive species
Labor Day, I'm nodding my head, yes, I am nodding
my head yes on this. It is one of those
(14:36):
things in life that is inevitable. Talk about the circle
of life. Right, You're born and you poop your pants,
and then you learn learn how to speak and communicate.
You go to school, you things go right, you graduate school,
you get a job, you end up in a relationship,
maybe you start a family, maybe you don't, but it's
(14:56):
that whole circle of life, and eventually you end up
if you live long enough, if you're like enough, you
end up pooping your pants again on the way outright,
It's a circle live well in this it's inevitable that
the NFL. It's not a matter of when, it's it's
a matter of when, not if. Rather, that is what
I meant to say, right, And here's why the NFL
is going to go to an eighteen game model. And
now eventually they're gonna get to twenty games, but I
(15:18):
don't know that's gonna happen anytime soon. Eighteen games is
right around the quarter. That means that each team is
going to get an extra week off, so two bye
weeks follow on. There will be a test on this later.
So to elongate the season to make way for the
extra bye week, the NFL will have to move some
things around. And the easy solution would be to kick
(15:41):
off Labor Day weekend Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, spread
the games out few games each night, and just have
a smorgasborg of prime time NFL games made for TV.
Ooy gooe goodness, and the rest of it's just hamburger helper.
(16:03):
You just add water. You bookend around the holidays, so
you start on Labor Day and then the super Bowl
would be played on the Sunday before President's Day, which
means you don't have to go to work unless you
have a radio job or a TV job. Those people
have to work, those losers. But if you've got a
normal job, you don't have to work. So you get
(16:26):
the holiday, which people have been covitching about. I want
to say different words they've been complaining about for a
long time. So that would set it up. Boom boom boom, boom,
boom boom. You start on Labor Day, boom, get good,
good start there, nice beginning there, good takeoff, and then
you land the plane. You land the plane on President's
(16:47):
Day weekend. That's good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
And we'll see if this actually goes that direction. I
think it's a matter of the timing of it more
than any Now, page two we go to lot Land.
That is where Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, not his
brother John. John is in Baltimore. So Jim Harbaugh, he
(17:08):
knows that there are many people, a lot of them
masquerading around as media people who believe he is very difficult,
that he is abrasive Jim Harbaugh, but he wants you
to know he does not agree. He does not agree,
he said, Quote the narrative that I'm hard to get
along with, or whatever other narrative out there is, Jim
(17:32):
Harbaugh stated, that's just people's narrative. Okay, Harbaugh grumbling, nobody
ever doubted where my heart is every single time. What's
in the best interest of the team that I am
on close Quote so Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh disputing the
(17:54):
many stories that have been whispered around the NFL that
he is just a harde who's tough to along with.
Your thoughts on this and this falls into the el
capitan el captain obvious category, What exactly did you expect
Harbor to say, Yes, my name is Jim Harbaugh, and
I am a douchebag. Everyone hates me and they would
(18:17):
rather have hemorrhoids than be around me. Of course, he's
not going to say that, so it would have been
impressive if he has said, I am a king, not
King James like Lebron, I'm king schmuck Now that would
have been funny. That would have been good. He didn't
do that. Okay, he didn't do that, which is fine,
But his response was on brand. Jim Harbaugh is disputing
(18:39):
that he gets into disputes. He's pushing back on the
pushback is what he's doing. And when you take a
couple of steps back and look at the wide angle
lens here, Jim Harry, I'm a fan of Jim Harby's
good for my business and that's all I really care about.
He says witty things and goofy things and makes me
(19:00):
my job more easier in the hot take industry, the
industrial complex of the hot take. So Jim Harbaugh is unorthodox,
that is true. He's not part of the orthodoxy of
football in many ways. He's got this very quirky side
to him. And think of this in terms of gluten.
I think of this in terms of good. So Jim
(19:21):
Harbaugh is like a delicious baguette and it's a wonderful bread,
but it doesn't have a long shelf life. When you
get the bagget yet to eat right away. It didn't
last very long. And the whimsical nature of Jim Harbaugh,
it starts decaying and then quickly rotting. And then you
get some mold, and see you got to consume it
(19:43):
rather quickly. Now we predict that Jim Harbaugh will be
out of LA. It's twenty twenty four, so we're gonna
give him by twenty twenty eight. The end of twenty
twenty eight, he will no longer be the coach or
the Chargers, and likely sooner than that, and he's certainly
not going to make it to the end of this
(20:03):
particular decade. Our final point, we go to sweet home Chicago,
where the pizza is good and the baseball on the
south side blows. What about the football team? Though a
lot of optimism. We've picked up a good audience in
Chicago over the last couple of years, and my guys
in Chicago, they're smiling from ear to ear. They think
(20:25):
happy days are here again for the Bears. They got
there forever quarterback well wide receiver DJ Moore not a
real DJ. DJ Moore said that Caleb Williams, who was
the number pick, that Caleb Williams went out there and
proved himself. That's the quote, went out there and proved himself,
(20:47):
DJ said DJ Moore when he was asked about the
rookie being named a team captain. So DJ Moore made
it very clear his position on this that Caleb Williams
being named the Bears capitan el capitana the Bears is
a big deal? Is that how you see it? Is
it a big deal that Caleb Williams was named one
(21:09):
of the captains of the Bears. DJ says, yes, DJ Moore,
So I will be the naysayer on this. I'm gonna
I'm gonna shake my head. No. I'm shaking my head
no on this. And here's why. The reason he was
given the captain chair, Caleb Williams is because of the draft.
(21:30):
That's it, right, he was the number one pick at
quarterback and it's a default ceremonial position and you really
have to blow to not be a QB starting QB.
Who's the captain? Russell Wilson was named the captain of
(21:52):
the Pittsburgh Steelers, right, Danny Dimes, the dime store quarterback,
Daniel Jones, just off the top of my head, named
captain of the Giants, and he stinks. He's body odor,
that guy. So it's just something you do. It's part
of the protocol. If you're the quarterback and you're the QB.
One part of the deal is you get to have
(22:14):
the captain's role. That's part. In New England, Jacoby Bursette,
who is the epitome of garbage, is a captain for
the Patriots. So ya hope if you're the Bears, you're like, well,
Caleb Williams will prove that he earned. He hasn't earned
any exhibition season. You can't. It's like trying to speak
(22:35):
this into reality. You can't earn anything in practice. Not
a guy, not a guy. We in here talking about practice,
and it's like they talk about the difference between practice
and a real game and live artillery, live artillery in
real games as opposed to practice. And so Caleb Williams
is the guy that scouts are licking their chops over.
(22:59):
That's who he be.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
There we go, It's Maller.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
How about that to the third degree? This is one
big fan gets grilled all right, the dal loop.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Now I read the podcast descriptions from yesterday, so I
don't believe you talked about this, right Ben? Over the weekend,
Yankees fans lost their collective s. Yeah, when the Yankees
did not promote their top prospect, Jason Dominguez, when the
rosters expanded, Yeah, and they pointed out that they promoted
other guys that are not as good.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
How can you explain this, Ben Well?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Aaron Boone claimed that it's because he wasn't again any
playing time and they wanted to keep him in the
minor leagues. But it is normally you call up your
top minor leaguer because you want him to experience a
pennant raise and just by osmosis learn being around a
team down the stretch. There's something more to that story.
I'm not believing what the Yankees are saying. There's something
(23:58):
more going on there. But it was because you just
assumed he's gonna get promoted next.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Now, Ben bill Cower.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Over the weekend, he lamented the basically the loss of
the surprise on side kick.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yes, it's going away. You can't. You have to announce,
you have to declare you're on side kick.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
He alluded to him calling a successful on side kick
in the Super Bowl. And Ben, do you think this
the NFL is really gonna suffer from the loss of
the surprise on side kick.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well, it's it's dumb that you have to announce it.
Let's put it that way, like, is it gonna suffer?
Nobody converted these on once in a blue moon. They
convert otherwise it's stupid. I don't. It's not gonna ruin
the product. But enough. Next, quickly, it.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Was revealed that Caleb Williams displays his Heisman Trophy in
between two Lego sets.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Ben, were you a Legos guy?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I was?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I was.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I came from a big Lego family growing up, and
That's why I'm so smart. Coop, It's all because of Legos.
That's it.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
How do we know he passes?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
That is a way you can put on the bar.
I love the game, perk Dog, I won the Dame Fergie.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
The flame goes out for the seven Holes. Welcome in
the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, chilling in the audio worlds.
We broadcast from Benny's Boomshaka laka as we are in
(00:59):
the air everywhere coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
On the vast and hypnotically powerful microphones of fs are
ammunating live from the pond. Let's a little frog and
a rather large audio pond. We're broadcasting live from the
Tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
(01:29):
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended and sawers. Tyraqt
dot com the way tire buying should be Malibu Rubin.
He's sent over the years ten thousand correspondence, so he
likes that number. Ten thousand. Our lead this hour, though,
we go to Chestnut Hill, not exactly a hotbed of
(01:51):
college football over the years, but that was the showcase
game on Labor Day, made for primetime unless you have to,
and then you were scarewde you had to go to
those Russian websites to watch the game. But island life
in the Commonwealth as number ten Florida State looking for
(02:12):
redemption after going across the land, across the sea to
play their opener and taking it on the chin, trying
to bounce back after that season opening loss to the
Georgia Tech squad, and then they took on an unranked
Boston College team. Said you look at this game and say, okay,
Florida State, they're not gonna lose two games in a row.
Boston College, Come on, did you watch? Perhaps not, perhaps
(02:37):
you didn't watch, but don't worry, we watched so you
would not have to. In a game that looked like
an intrasquad scrimmage based on the similar uniform colors, it
was very bizarre. I know, Florida State was wearing their
dark unifors, but they have the same colors anyway. Treshaun Ward,
(02:58):
who you don't know? Boston College Jashaun Ward one hundred
and thirty eight yards of offense, including a thirteen yard
touchdown reception. He was a Florida State Seminole, he played
there for several years. Now he's a transfer in the
portal and playing for Boston College, who manhandled number ten
Florida State twenty eight to thirteen. The final Ward had
(03:20):
seventy seven yards on the ground. He added sixty one
yards receiving to get to that total of one hundred
and thirty eight yards. The better story though, in the
losing locker room that is where these Seminoles. Head coach
Mike Norvel said he was quote sick, sick at how
the season started. He also apologized to the Seminole fans.
(03:45):
Whether they accept that apology or not, stay tuned developing
hot dot dot dot. He then apologized to everybody associated
with the program, talking about how disappointing, extremely disappointing the
start to the season. He said, in all phases, we
just weren't good close quote, So let us discuss what
(04:05):
is the temperature in the room for the Seminoles head
coach Mike Norvell. So I've got bingo card, treasure map,
and gillette and we will combine all of these things
together and we'll put the puzzle pieces into play. So
a if you get out the supersonic thermometer and take
(04:30):
the temperature in tallahassee the Seminal football program, which is
known for planting the flame, the flaming arrow on the field,
whether they are lukewarm at this point? Did they bring
back Willie Taggart? And nobody let us know as the coach?
Is that what happened here? My goodness? Who goofed? I've
(04:51):
got to know? Watching the inept Florida State football team,
Mike Novel, he supposedly had the ship turned around. They've
gotten off some bad starts with Novell as the coach,
but the assumption was, oh, they were over the hump
now that things were heading the right direction. It is
unbecoming of the Seminoles the way that they played Florida State.
(05:13):
As a program eyeing bigger and better things, they would
like to leave the ACC and join the Southeastern Conference,
but to start the year losing to the rambling wreck
of Georgia Tech and then Boston College back to back
and belly to belly. That is a masculating for the
Florida State football program. Now, I did see an underlying
(05:35):
condition and we're allowed to talk college football now because
the NFL hasn't started Thursday. That will end and we'll
move back to the NFL. But watching this game, if
you look at the FSU Bingo card, there was a
blank spot under center. A player that coming out of
high school was ranked ahead of C. J. Stroud. Dj
(05:58):
Ui Ungalle was out to lunch in this game. And
he has been so far a pedestrian performer for the Seminals,
highly rated, highly decorated, and the results are just not there.
Now on the other side, is this the beginning of
something big for Bill O'Brien. He's been around the block
(06:19):
a few times, right Bill O'Brien the head coach at
Boston College. So you say it's a stepping stone game, Okay.
BC was methodically running the football down the throats of
the Seminoles defense, right up the middle, right up the gut. There.
The Eagles had two hundred and sixty three yards rushing.
(06:40):
And the thing is they weren't just running past seminal defense.
They were going right up the gut. There's really nothing
in the middle of the Florida State defense and everyone
was watching. Now, Bill O'Brien grizzled coach, mister average in
the NFL with the Texans back of the day. But
he has coached at the highest levels in college and
the NFL Penn State back in the day. So for him,
(07:03):
Boston College the BC gig. It's not that he's gonna
make Boston College some kind of Northeastern juggernaut. That's not it.
But on that stage, in that environment, for BC, you
set it up as a treasure map and you can
go back down the yellow brick road and get one
(07:25):
more shot, one more chance in the NFL. All right
now the last word here and we'll see we have
this sound. But Billy Napier, I want to go back
to this, the Florida coach, billiy Napier, who really is
in a world of hurt at this point here, the
Gators head coach, feeling the walls cave in around him,
(07:48):
despite a seven year, fifty one million dollar contract that
he signed back in twenty twenty one, when he left Louisiana.
So Billion Napier has decided to go where you're not
supposed to go. He has insulted the customers. He has
taking a shot at the customers. Now let's go to
(08:11):
the audio tape.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
We got to go to work on the football part,
you know. And I think we've got to get more.
We've got to become a more consistent team, and we
have to execute better. And if we can focus on
those things and not necessarily what some guy in his
basement saying, and you know, rural central Florida on social media,
then we got a chance to get better.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Right. So are there a lot of basements in rural
central Florida? And do I feel like that's our demographic?
I feel like our demographic is guys in there. If
there is such a thing as basements in rural central Florida,
that's right in our wheelhouse. Like that is that's our
core demographic. So you're attacking the base of the Malad Militia,
(08:56):
the Florida wing of the Mala Militia. Bad job by you.
So where do you file what you just heard the
head coach Billy Napier calling out the Florida fans from
their basement in rural central Florida. This coming after the
Gators lost by let me check my notes here twenty
four points to in state rival Miami. So Napier, he's
(09:21):
breaking the mold here, he's breaking the mold. The mold
is old school Gillett commercial campaign from back in the day.
Never let him see a sweat. Billy Napier, the head
coach of the Florida Gators, wants you to know that
he's got swamp ass right now in more ways than one. Right,
there's a lot of bo. There's a lot of sweat
(09:42):
in the private region, the nether region there for Billy Napier,
extreme bo and good luck. This is usually the beginning
of the end in my experience, based on previous results. Here,
the Gators with Billy Napier have played nine games against rivals.
(10:04):
They won one. They're one and eight against their rivals.
They've played thirteen games against ranked opponents. They're two and
eleven against ranked opponents. But wait, there's more. So they're
nine to four against unranked teams. It seems passable until
you realize that four of those wins are against the
(10:25):
non Power four teams. So against the power teams they're
five and four unranked opponents. I can go on and on,
go on, but you get the point.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

met Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcasts and
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It is a labor of love. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere, hand in hand as we are
stuck in the sands of time, coast, stuck coast, border
to border and beyond on the vast and gruvilly powerful
(11:36):
microphones of fsre ammating live from the circle, the squared
Circle of audio Pugilism. We're broadcasting live from the tire
rac dot com studios tyre ract dot com. We'll help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand reckon installers. Our
(12:01):
guy Masshole Mickey, who drove in bad weather a tropical
storm to hang out for half an hour in the
rain at a impromptu Malor meet and greet, loves the
number ten thousand. Tire act dot com the way tire
buying shoe be so our lead this hour coming from
(12:22):
the calendar app on your smartphone kind of that is
where if you paid any attention, you'd likely noticed that
Labor Day has now come and gone, and there was
not even a whisper of an NFL game. We had
some JV Island games Sunday, Louisiana State and SC got
(12:46):
together and they did the old Doc dough. That was fine,
and then on Monday night Boston College BC upsetting upsetting
Florida State, and so that attempted to fill the void
for the palette of the hungry football consumer. However, that
(13:07):
will likely be ending soon as soon as next year.
Stay tuned. So if you didn't see this, and perhaps
perhaps you're out of the loop, we learned that the
NFL has the framework in place to move forward with
the start of the NFL season on Labor Day weekend
(13:33):
that they used to do this. It's been a generation
since the NFL played on Labor Day, but under the plan,
they would have games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday night, kicking off the NFL season on Labor Day weekend.
(13:54):
So let us discuss the question, are you ready for
the NFL to ake over a hostile takeover of Labor
Day weekend. I've got hamburger, helper, bag, get and ceremonial
and we will combine all of these things together and
(14:14):
we are going to scream and shout and let it
all out. So numb to answer the question, are you
ready for the NFL to invade as an invasive species
Labor Day, I'm nodding my head, yes, I am nodding
my head yes on this. It is one of those
(14:36):
things in life that is inevitable. Talk about the circle
of life. Right, You're born and you poop your pants,
and then you learn learn how to speak and communicate.
You go to school, you things go right, you graduate school,
you get a job, you end up in a relationship,
maybe you start a family, maybe you don't, but it's
(14:56):
that whole circle of life, and eventually you end up
if you live long enough, if you're like enough, you
end up pooping your pants again on the way outright,
It's a circle live well in this it's inevitable that
the NFL. It's not a matter of when, it's it's
a matter of when, not if. Rather, that is what
I meant to say, right, And here's why the NFL
is going to go to an eighteen game model. And
now eventually they're gonna get to twenty games, but I
(15:18):
don't know that's gonna happen anytime soon. Eighteen games is
right around the quarter. That means that each team is
going to get an extra week off, so two bye
weeks follow on. There will be a test on this later.
So to elongate the season to make way for the
extra bye week, the NFL will have to move some
things around. And the easy solution would be to kick
(15:41):
off Labor Day weekend Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, spread
the games out few games each night, and just have
a smorgasborg of prime time NFL games made for TV.
Ooy gooe goodness, and the rest of it's just hamburger helper.
(16:03):
You just add water. You bookend around the holidays, so
you start on Labor Day and then the super Bowl
would be played on the Sunday before President's Day, which
means you don't have to go to work unless you
have a radio job or a TV job. Those people
have to work, those losers. But if you've got a
normal job, you don't have to work. So you get
(16:26):
the holiday, which people have been covitching about. I want
to say different words they've been complaining about for a
long time. So that would set it up. Boom boom boom, boom,
boom boom. You start on Labor Day, boom, get good,
good start there, nice beginning there, good takeoff, and then
you land the plane. You land the plane on President's
(16:47):
Day weekend. That's good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
And we'll see if this actually goes that direction. I
think it's a matter of the timing of it more
than any Now, page two we go to lot Land.
That is where Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, not his
brother John. John is in Baltimore. So Jim Harbaugh, he
(17:08):
knows that there are many people, a lot of them
masquerading around as media people who believe he is very difficult,
that he is abrasive Jim Harbaugh, but he wants you
to know he does not agree. He does not agree,
he said, Quote the narrative that I'm hard to get
along with, or whatever other narrative out there is, Jim
(17:32):
Harbaugh stated, that's just people's narrative. Okay, Harbaugh grumbling, nobody
ever doubted where my heart is every single time. What's
in the best interest of the team that I am
on close Quote so Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh disputing the
(17:54):
many stories that have been whispered around the NFL that
he is just a harde who's tough to along with.
Your thoughts on this and this falls into the el
capitan el captain obvious category, What exactly did you expect
Harbor to say, Yes, my name is Jim Harbaugh, and
I am a douchebag. Everyone hates me and they would
(18:17):
rather have hemorrhoids than be around me. Of course, he's
not going to say that, so it would have been
impressive if he has said, I am a king, not
King James like Lebron, I'm king schmuck Now that would
have been funny. That would have been good. He didn't
do that. Okay, he didn't do that, which is fine,
But his response was on brand. Jim Harbaugh is disputing
(18:39):
that he gets into disputes. He's pushing back on the
pushback is what he's doing. And when you take a
couple of steps back and look at the wide angle
lens here, Jim Harry, I'm a fan of Jim Harby's
good for my business and that's all I really care about.
He says witty things and goofy things and makes me
(19:00):
my job more easier in the hot take industry, the
industrial complex of the hot take. So Jim Harbaugh is unorthodox,
that is true. He's not part of the orthodoxy of
football in many ways. He's got this very quirky side
to him. And think of this in terms of gluten.
I think of this in terms of good. So Jim
(19:21):
Harbaugh is like a delicious baguette and it's a wonderful bread,
but it doesn't have a long shelf life. When you
get the bagget yet to eat right away. It didn't
last very long. And the whimsical nature of Jim Harbaugh,
it starts decaying and then quickly rotting. And then you
get some mold, and see you got to consume it
(19:43):
rather quickly. Now we predict that Jim Harbaugh will be
out of LA. It's twenty twenty four, so we're gonna
give him by twenty twenty eight. The end of twenty
twenty eight, he will no longer be the coach or
the Chargers, and likely sooner than that, and he's certainly
not going to make it to the end of this
(20:03):
particular decade. Our final point, we go to sweet home Chicago,
where the pizza is good and the baseball on the
south side blows. What about the football team? Though a
lot of optimism. We've picked up a good audience in
Chicago over the last couple of years, and my guys
in Chicago, they're smiling from ear to ear. They think
(20:25):
happy days are here again for the Bears. They got
there forever quarterback well wide receiver DJ Moore not a
real DJ. DJ Moore said that Caleb Williams, who was
the number pick, that Caleb Williams went out there and
proved himself. That's the quote, went out there and proved himself,
(20:47):
DJ said DJ Moore when he was asked about the
rookie being named a team captain. So DJ Moore made
it very clear his position on this that Caleb Williams
being named the Bears capitan el capitana the Bears is
a big deal? Is that how you see it? Is
it a big deal that Caleb Williams was named one
(21:09):
of the captains of the Bears. DJ says, yes, DJ Moore,
So I will be the naysayer on this. I'm gonna
I'm gonna shake my head. No. I'm shaking my head
no on this. And here's why. The reason he was
given the captain chair, Caleb Williams is because of the draft.
(21:30):
That's it, right, he was the number one pick at
quarterback and it's a default ceremonial position and you really
have to blow to not be a QB starting QB.
Who's the captain? Russell Wilson was named the captain of
(21:52):
the Pittsburgh Steelers, right, Danny Dimes, the dime store quarterback,
Daniel Jones, just off the top of my head, named
captain of the Giants, and he stinks. He's body odor,
that guy. So it's just something you do. It's part
of the protocol. If you're the quarterback and you're the QB.
One part of the deal is you get to have
(22:14):
the captain's role. That's part. In New England, Jacoby Bursette,
who is the epitome of garbage, is a captain for
the Patriots. So ya hope if you're the Bears, you're like, well,
Caleb Williams will prove that he earned. He hasn't earned
any exhibition season. You can't. It's like trying to speak
(22:35):
this into reality. You can't earn anything in practice. Not
a guy, not a guy. We in here talking about practice,
and it's like they talk about the difference between practice
and a real game and live artillery, live artillery in
real games as opposed to practice. And so Caleb Williams
is the guy that scouts are licking their chops over.
(22:59):
That's who he be.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
There we go, It's Maller.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
How about that to the third degree? This is one
big fan gets grilled all right, the dal loop.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Now I read the podcast descriptions from yesterday, so I
don't believe you talked about this, right Ben? Over the weekend,
Yankees fans lost their collective s. Yeah, when the Yankees
did not promote their top prospect, Jason Dominguez, when the
rosters expanded, Yeah, and they pointed out that they promoted
other guys that are not as good.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
How can you explain this, Ben Well?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Aaron Boone claimed that it's because he wasn't again any
playing time and they wanted to keep him in the
minor leagues. But it is normally you call up your
top minor leaguer because you want him to experience a
pennant raise and just by osmosis learn being around a
team down the stretch. There's something more to that story.
I'm not believing what the Yankees are saying. There's something
(23:58):
more going on there. But it was because you just
assumed he's gonna get promoted next.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Now, Ben bill Cower.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Over the weekend, he lamented the basically the loss of
the surprise on side kick.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yes, it's going away. You can't. You have to announce,
you have to declare you're on side kick.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
He alluded to him calling a successful on side kick
in the Super Bowl. And Ben, do you think this
the NFL is really gonna suffer from the loss of
the surprise on side kick.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well, it's it's dumb that you have to announce it.
Let's put it that way, like, is it gonna suffer?
Nobody converted these on once in a blue moon. They
convert otherwise it's stupid. I don't. It's not gonna ruin
the product. But enough. Next, quickly, it.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Was revealed that Caleb Williams displays his Heisman Trophy in
between two Lego sets.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Ben, were you a Legos guy?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I was?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I was.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I came from a big Lego family growing up, and
That's why I'm so smart. Coop, It's all because of Legos.
That's it.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
