This is the best of the Ben Malor Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Another finger bier of a win.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well come in the beginning of a brand new week
of the Benmahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere, homeboys,
as we try to hit the ground, running coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the vast and spectacularly
(00:58):
powerful microphones of FSR ammnating live from the saddle. As

saws tyraq dot com. The way tire mind should be
a no slim tim a fan of that number ten thousand,
So our lead to begin the week and more importantly
the night, because who knows if you'd be listening all week.
But to begin the night here we start out at
the atl got a message from my friends sports with Coleman.
You're too kind about the Atlanta Airport. No, the Atlanta,
(01:44):
the great airport in Atlanta. I think I'll just fly
there just to go to the Airport's a wonderful airport.
But that was the scene. Patrick Mahomes flew into that
airport and the Chiefs taking their roadshow into the atl
there down south for a playdate with Kirk Cousins and
the Falcons in island game the Island Life one game
(02:06):
standalone game Sunday night. Collinsworth was there, Tariko hanging out
for the peacock folks over there. So I don't know
if you're watching, possibly not, maybe you were not tuned
in there. But Patrick Mahomes did not have a gotty
stat line. He didn't have four hundred yards passing, he
didn't have three hundred yards, he didn't have two hundred
and fifty yards passing, only two hun seventeen a couple
(02:28):
of touchdowns, had an interception. The Chiefs out last the
Falcons twenty two to seventeen, improving to a perfect three
to zero on the season as they beat the Dirty Birds.
And there was high drama though. You can't have an
NFL game that's a one score game without high drama,
so we had that. You're watching the game, you know
(02:49):
what I'm about to say, but possibly not, you might
have missed it. So everyone focused on one moment in time,
just one moment in time, fourth quarter, the Falcons matricating
the ball down the field looking to take the lead.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It was a.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Fourth down play and Kirk Cousins threw a pass to
the end zone, to the end zone on fourth down
to the tight end Kyle Pets But no, the play
was broken up. But wait a minute, what's going on.
There's the safety for the Chiefs, Brian Cook, whoever that is,
I don't know who that is, but Brian Cook, the
(03:24):
safety for the Chiefs, who made clear contact with Kyle
Pitts before the ball got there.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Even if you've never been a.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Referee just watching football, what is that? That's right, it's
pass interference. But the referee said now and chose not
to make the call. No pass interference on the defense.
And that was that, and the Falcons they had another opportunity,
but that they're done after that, as it turns out,
(03:55):
So let us discuss the question. Deed the NFL officials
metal here to help keep Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs undefeated.
So I've got disco, marvelous and copycat and we will
combine all of these things together and make sunny days
(04:16):
sunny days ahead, all right?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So a.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The answer to the question, did the officials in this
game metal with that call, if you go to the desert,
will you find salt? I've not been to a desert
that does not have salt.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I have not been.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
There's no ifs answerp butts about it to.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Infinity and beyond.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
The answer is yes. Right now, am I gonna go
all the way and say I was a rigged deal?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Was it rigged?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Or did the NFL officials just randomly decline to do
their job?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The blind leading the blind.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Here right shout out blind Scott blind Emmitt in could
terror all the other blind listeners that we have. But
following the whistle and listen, I'm on teams swallow the whistle.
But when it comes to the relationship between Andy Reid
in this era of the Chiefs and the referees. It
is Disco, It's Casey and the Sunshine Band. For the Chiefs.
(05:17):
Here it's get down tonight. And that's the way I
like it. When the officials make those calls.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The safety, I just I gotta stress it. So I'm
watching the game, and I might have had a little
a little bit down on the Atlanta Fox. But aside
the point, all right, as so the safety cook this guy,
his head has turned his entire body. He wasn't playing
the ball. He even turned to look at the ball
(05:45):
he was playing that he was playing, Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It's hard to do that, to turn.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Your head to play the ball when you are wrapping
your arms around the receiver. And it's even more lighter
fluid for the deep state conspiracy that the NFL is
looking out for the Chiefs, not so much because they
love Patrick Mahomes, but because of a certain singer named
Taylor Swift. That's what this is all about. So the
(06:13):
back judge on this play was completely frozen. I don't
know if they charged him for a ticket, maybe he
got one online, but he was just observing and he
actually had the power to make the call.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's right. In front of him.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All right, now, speaking of the investment the NFL has here,
how are things looking for Travis kelcey in that Chiefs
offense after now three games? So this is another one
of those cover your eyes situations here. And while the
Chiefs appear to be getting an assist from the Zebras,
they're not getting much help from their all star tight end,
(06:48):
movie star, TV star, podcast star, not football star right now.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now, he doesn't have that part of it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
That's not part of the equation, man, all right, and
the pop love story for all the tabloids and the
social media world not living up to his end of
the bargain. Not at this point here, this was supposed
to be. I was told the Travis Kelce breakout game,
the Travis Kelce breakout game.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
This was gonna be it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So how did that go? Kelsey was targeted five times?
He had four catches, all right, four catches. We got
something eh thirty yards, no touchdowns and an average of
seven and a half yards per catch. And the store
brand tight end, generic brand tight end. That's Travis Kelce
at this particular point. Now, the question must be asked.
(07:37):
There's many questions. Is it his agees he now suddenly
passed his athletic prime and he's in his mid thirties.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Is it the rock and roll lifestyle?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Is that why hanging out traveling the world with Taylor
Swift and those private planes. Is it just merely a slump?
Is this a passing situation? He looked like he was
done last year, and then in the playoffs whatever kind
of magic potion Kelsey talk, he was not done. In
the playoffs, he turned things around. But overall on the year,
(08:06):
Travis Kelcey eight catches sixty nine yards and no touchdowns
in three games.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Those are the kind of numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean, he actually have some touchdowns, but those are
the kind of numbers catches and yards he'd have in
one game, but eight catches sixty nine yards. It was
the marvelous late Marvin Hagler who famously said of his
world in boxing. He gave the famous quotes it's very
tough to get out of bed and do that road
work at five am when you're sleeping in silk pajamas.
(08:35):
And right now, Travis Kelcey is a boy. He's got
really nice pajamas, silk, highest quality bed sheets you can
possibly get.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
But you got to do better and be better.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Right now, you look at that Chiefs offense and they're
not dynamic, they're not amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
They're three and oh, which is great.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But you've got the fast and furious star Rashie Rice,
who is the man, the big play guy, and and
he's got looming legal problems, but he's the big play guy.
And then after that it's a plotting team. The Chiefs
are a plotting team again like they were last day.
He won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Hollywood. Brown's not walking through that door. He's out for
the year.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And if he is walking through that door, he's got
probably a booty on her something like that. All right, Now,
last word here we moved to the broadcast world. A
number of you said, what about Tom Riley? All right,
so Tom Brady was again calling the Cowboys game because
every time Fox has the Cowboy game, he will be
calling the game. He will not be calling a Cowboy
(09:34):
game next week because Fox does not have the Cowboys
next week. But Brady was back on Fox calling the
Cowboy Ravens game and a misleading final score is the
stat Bandito did it yet again, Dak Prescott garbage time stats.
But Brady taking shrapnel yet again. So the latest on
(09:55):
this a longtime sportswriter and award winning best selling author
Don Van Natta.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
You know who that is? Now you don't know who
that is? Yeah, and nobody knows who writers.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Are anyway, this guy ripped Tom Brady's voice. This thing
started bouncing around, and people said, oh, yeah, that's the
problem Brady's got. You don't have the pipes your thoughts.
So I think this is fair criticism. I believe this
is actually fair criticism here. And it goes back to
the point that Brady was never supposed to be a broadcaster.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
No, he wasn't. It's not like he.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Dreamt his little key I want to I have a
voice for broadcasting. No, No, Tom Brady is a football player.
He's a three hundred and fifty million dollar testimonial to
the jockocracy of broadcasting. But you look at the voice
range for Tom Brady, and he's got more of a
tenor voice, more of a high pitched voice. And as
(10:51):
was pointed out, when he's teamed up with Kevin Burkhardt,
who's got this baritone voice, it creates a problem. I've
got extremes not great, and you toss in the biggest issue.
Brady sounded the way he sounds, but was actually given
good commentary that would be okay, But he sucks. That's
a problem, right. I mean, he's generic cliche Phil Tom
(11:13):
Brady commentary.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But the blas, the blas, the Brady blas and the
broadcast booth.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You're still waiting for that amazing inside, that engaging wisdom.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
But he is the goat. Give him time.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Three hundred and fifty million dollars. I gotta give him time.
That three hundred fifty mili I gotta give the guy time.
How much time should I give the guy? What does
it take six hundred million to get some good right away?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Is that? What it takes six hundred million?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Me?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Brady to me sounds like and I was at the
Rams game, but I had the I was flipping around
on my computer watching various games. What Brady sounds to
me like he's merely a copycat, Like he's doing what
he thinks an NFL broadcaster is supposed to do, which
is just.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Mimic what everyone else does.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
There's nothing original there, it's just a ripoff version. It's
like somebody decided, here's what a broadcast is gonna be
years ago, and Brady's says, Okay, I bet you didn't
even watch a lot of football broadcasts growing up. It's
certainly not in the NFL because he was playing and
all that stuff, and so it it's nothing unique, it's
nothing original. It's just another voice out in the sea
(12:26):
of audio, is what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:28):

Speaker 3 (13:30):
The way tire buying.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Should be an o Supermarkets Steve, who somehow did not
make it into the mass photograph we took at the
Malo Meet and Meet, the last one we did in Vegas,
and he and his wife were there, but they did
not make the photo.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Bad job by them. And there were other.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
People that did not make the photo either that we
were surprised somehow did not make it in. But our
lead this hour coming from deep in the heart of Texas,
and we go where the news of the day, Texas
and post mortem on Week three of the NFL with
two games to go tonight, two games on the card,
doubleheader Monday night football action. But as we continue our
(14:11):
in depth frame by frames of Bruder film style breakdown
a week three.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
A humdinger, humdinger of a story.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Now Derreck Henry was on a rampage for the Ravens,
the Poets no longer the Dead Poets Society. The Ravens
waking up their one hundred and fifty one yards from
Derreck Henry and not one but two touchdowns. Lamar Jackson
picking a part the Dallas Cowboy defense selectively, he had
a couple of scores. The Ravens jumped out to a
(14:44):
massively the final score misleading Baltimore ends up winning twenty
eight to twenty five. The game was not that close.
It was not that close. So the Ravens get to
win and the congratulations they're no longer winless one in
two now Baltimore. But the better story, as it almost always,
is in the losing locker room. That is where the
(15:05):
finger pointing is underway. Now, last week, before we get
to the latest drama, o rama, last week, Micah Parsons
pointed out that the Cowboy defense didn't play hard. Now
that flustered Zimmer and McCarthy, the coach's defensive coordinator, head coach,
and they came out and said, oh, no, they played hard.
(15:26):
They played hard, because that's like taboo for a coach.
You can't say you didn't play hard. That's like the
no no, you can't say that because that's on you anyway. Nonetheless,
so that was what happened last week. You had Micah
Parsons saying the defense didn't play hard. Now this week,
big money, big money, big money, No, who may stop
wide receiver C. D.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Lamb. He underscored the day, say he highlighted the day.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
How everyon want to say, first half red zone from
mall inside the ten yard line and that haunted the
Cowboys as they attempted to frameantically come back, which just
amounted to a lot of garbage time stats. The issue
was not just the fumble, It was the pouty face.
(16:09):
It was the pouty face. He had terrible body language,
and the body language tells a lot of the story.
A lot of the stories the body language and so
terrible body language. He also got into a verbal brew
ha ha a sideline rubarb with Dak Prescott and longtime
(16:29):
offensive lineman Zach Martin was also.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Involved at one point. So there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Then after the game, Ceedee Lamb, was he man enough
to go out and face the cameras and the microphones. No,
he took the cowardly road and high tail it out
of the locker room when the reporters entered like you expected,
and to actually be there.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Come on, what's wrong with you? All right? So let
us discuss the question, Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Is Ceedee Lamb getting into it with Dak Prescott of
the Cowboys? Something or nothing? Is this just a one
or two day stories? There's something more going on here.
So I've got Hasbro, Washington, Irving and UK and we
will combine all of these things together, and we will
(17:17):
go for a test drive.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Is what we're going to do now, Nom Burns right.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
The arrow is pointing towards something, and it's something delicious.
If you happen to be a gas bag or a blowheart. Boys,
this a great story. Just soak it all up right,
all the flavors, all the juices. What a wonderful story
this is because anarchy on the Cowboy ship. If you
(17:43):
were hear the Cowboys coming apart of the seams in
week two, Micah Parsons and the coaching staff in week three,
Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott. Wow, how great is this?
How great is now? Jerry Jones, who is the mice
of the drama?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
O rama?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Jerry Jones did it again? Jerry because he suffers from
fomo fear of missing out. God forbid Dak Prescott go
to another team and lose in the first round every year,
or Ceedee Lamb go somewhere else and flop in big games. No, no, no, no,
you got to keep the band together, right, So we
kept the band together, this iconic group of abject failures.
The worst you think about the Cowboy's not gonna win
(18:24):
anything of this year, and this will be the record.
This is going to beat the record for the longest
run of incompetence by a quarterback with one team not
getting to a championship game, a conference championship game. Dak
Prescott's gonna have that record. So that you got Dak
on one side, ceedee lamb on it. These guys both
(18:45):
got paid. They both got paid their loggerheads. You've got
the rotun Mike McCarthy, clueless, Mike on the sidelines, lame
duck head coach, dazed and confused. All this is going
on garbage garbage defense right, generally speaking, the Cowboys are
(19:07):
you know what they are? They're a Hasbro team. The
star players are there there Hasbro guys. It's a spin
off of My Pony. I know Brian, Brian over there
loves my Pony. It's a spin off of my Pony.
It's the show pony. It's a show pony because ceedee lamb.
When you do what he did, you're a show pony.
(19:28):
That's the way to describe it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You're you're there when you know when the things are
going well, you're out in front. Like is it true
that had the Cowboys won that game, and Ceedee Lamb
had a massive statistical game. He would have been out
there doing a pirouet on the catwalk if Dallas had won,
of course, of course, but they lost, and so you know,
it's kind of a rhetorical question. They lost, and so
he hops, skips and jumps out of there when the
(19:51):
media is there rather than taking questions. And he can't
even pretend at least Dak Prescott pretends Thatak's terrible too.
But Dak could just gives some tired cliches, is what
he does. But ceedeo am, he doesn't show up to camp,
he gets paid, and then when the going gets tough,
he high tails it out of there and makes his
teammates have to answer questions because he can't.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Be bothered with that.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
That's what we call a bad teammate, kids, all right now,
Page two saying in Dallas, more of the rhetoric. You
have veteran edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, who told the media
that he believes the Cowboys haven't been playing to the
best of their abilities. Really you think so, But they'll
get back on track. He said, quote here's the money.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Once we get out of playing little league football.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I thought it was Paul Border.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
He said little league football and get back to playing
pro football. We'll be all right the Cowboy defensive players,
said de Marcus Lawrence, saying the Cowboys will be fine
once they stopped playing little league football.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Is it that simple? So I'm gonna shake my head
no on this.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It is not that simple because you have deep rooted
fundamental issues on both sides of the ball, as we
have documented here with Ceedee Lamb and his issues, Dak
Prescott going back and forth there. But you also have
the defense where Baltimore and New Orleans treated them like
(21:19):
Plato and manipulated them in the words that hit are
the words of the late Washington Irving, a classic, the
legend of Sleepy Hollow, because that would sum up the
Dallas Cowboys that they're sleepy and they're hollow. They don't
show up on defense in the week two, according to
(21:40):
Michael Parsons, in week three, they're.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Just hollow, just hollow. And you check, as the kids
like to say, check the receipts there and it's not good,
not good all right now. Final point.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
After the loss, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked why
why he did not pursued Derrick Henry in free agency.
And his answer was short and sweet. In fact, he
said all of four words. He said, we couldn't afford
Derrick Henry is what he said, Clodes quote. Then he
(22:16):
gives some weird analogy about like a house, like he
already had a house, but they didn't really have a
house because they added Zeke Elliots, so it's not like
they actually had a house, not a good house. It
was more like a like a shanty townhouse situation. Anyway,
So Jerry Jones again. Jerry Jones says, the Cowboys could
not afford Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
How does that one hit you? How does that one
hit you?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
So? Right out of the UK? Terry and England can
back me up on this. I haven't seen a lot
of trash talk from Terry in England. He's a forty
nine er fan. I guess he's keeping quiet. I don't
blame him. I'd hide too if I was a forty
nine er fan. That's pretty embarrassing. My god, rams missing
two offensive linemen, two wide receivers, a couple of guys
on defense and they beat the forty nine.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Wow. Anyway, Jerry Jones again, Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Saying, hey, it's we didn't have the money and all
that stuffuldn't afford him.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But it is out of the UK. It's called there's
a term they use in the UK. It's called porky pies,
which are lies. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's a version of the truth, as we like to say,
just not the whole truth and definitely not nothing but
the truth.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's the reality here, the salary cap.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
As we have learned, I had the epiphany years ago,
the epiphany years ago. The reality is that we are
salary cap truthers. The salary cap is something very easily
to manipulate. It's a myth. It's a fiction that is used.
It has been weaponized by NFL teams if they want
(23:41):
to get rid of an unwanted player salary cap, if
they don't want to spend money on a player salary cap. Right,
But we know because we've seen it. The voodoo economics,
the voodoo boogaloo economics of it all that you simply
restructure some contracts, You move roster bonuses around into signing bonuses,
(24:01):
You add voidable years, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera,
You renegotiate certain deals, and all of a sudden, you
can sign whoever you want to your heart's desire. Where
there's a will, there's a way. And Jerry Jones did
not have any motivation. If I remember correctly, Derrick Henry
essentially said the Cowboys never made him an off. He
(24:22):
wanted to play for the Cowboys, but they didn't want it. Now,
it's yet to be determined how this story ends with
Derrick Henry. He does have a lot of miles on
the odometer, and typically running backs when they get to
a certain point, their production goes.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Down, down, down, down down? Does limbo? How low can
you go?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
However, you and I both know that Derek Henry looked
amazing for the most part against the Cowboys on Sunday. Now,
how much of that is the Cowboys defense and how
much of that is Derek Henry, Well, that's yet to
be determined. But that's where we are right now. It
is the Bane Maller Show. We thank you for hanging
out with us. We know you have options, not good ones,
but we're here for you all night, five nights a week,
(24:57):
and then really eight days a week because I do
the podcast on the week kins the fifth hour podcast,
which is.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Up and running. I even got a TV show now,
it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Maybe not after this week and more mediocre picks against
the spread, I'm waiting for my big Baffosco weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
This could be it.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Here we go, Here we go? How about that?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
To the third degree?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
This is one big Ben gets Grailobolo.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
At only twenty two years old, Red star Elie de
la Cruz became the first shortstop in NLB history to
have a twenty five homer sixty five steal season. Afterwards,
he told the media that he is eyeing the newly
created fifty to fifty club and do you think he
could achieve that?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yes, because if you if you're motivating, he plays at
a ballpark where it's easy to hit home runs. He
obviously can steal. He's as fast as anybody in baseball.
So yeah, if that's your motivation, of course, if your desire,

This is the best of the Ben Malor Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Another finger bier of a win.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well come in the beginning of a brand new week
of the Benmahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere, homeboys,
as we try to hit the ground, running coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the vast and spectacularly
(00:58):
powerful microphones of FSR ammnating live from the saddle. As
we are back in the saddle again, We're broadcasting live
from the ti raq dot Com studios tyraq dot com.
We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
(01:22):
saws tyraq dot com. The way tire mind should be
a no slim tim a fan of that number ten thousand,
So our lead to begin the week and more importantly
the night, because who knows if you'd be listening all week.
But to begin the night here we start out at
the atl got a message from my friends sports with Coleman.
You're too kind about the Atlanta Airport. No, the Atlanta,
(01:44):
the great airport in Atlanta. I think I'll just fly
there just to go to the Airport's a wonderful airport.
But that was the scene. Patrick Mahomes flew into that
airport and the Chiefs taking their roadshow into the atl
there down south for a playdate with Kirk Cousins and
the Falcons in island game the Island Life one game
(02:06):
standalone game Sunday night. Collinsworth was there, Tariko hanging out
for the peacock folks over there. So I don't know
if you're watching, possibly not, maybe you were not tuned
in there. But Patrick Mahomes did not have a gotty
stat line. He didn't have four hundred yards passing, he
didn't have three hundred yards, he didn't have two hundred
and fifty yards passing, only two hun seventeen a couple
(02:28):
of touchdowns, had an interception. The Chiefs out last the
Falcons twenty two to seventeen, improving to a perfect three
to zero on the season as they beat the Dirty Birds.
And there was high drama though. You can't have an
NFL game that's a one score game without high drama,
so we had that. You're watching the game, you know
(02:49):
what I'm about to say, but possibly not, you might
have missed it. So everyone focused on one moment in time,
just one moment in time, fourth quarter, the Falcons matricating
the ball down the field looking to take the lead.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It was a.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Fourth down play and Kirk Cousins threw a pass to
the end zone, to the end zone on fourth down
to the tight end Kyle Pets But no, the play
was broken up. But wait a minute, what's going on.
There's the safety for the Chiefs, Brian Cook, whoever that is,
I don't know who that is, but Brian Cook, the
(03:24):
safety for the Chiefs, who made clear contact with Kyle
Pitts before the ball got there.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Even if you've never been a.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Referee just watching football, what is that? That's right, it's
pass interference. But the referee said now and chose not
to make the call. No pass interference on the defense.
And that was that, and the Falcons they had another opportunity,
but that they're done after that, as it turns out,
(03:55):
So let us discuss the question. Deed the NFL officials
metal here to help keep Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs undefeated.
So I've got disco, marvelous and copycat and we will
combine all of these things together and make sunny days
(04:16):
sunny days ahead, all right?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So a.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The answer to the question, did the officials in this
game metal with that call, if you go to the desert,
will you find salt? I've not been to a desert
that does not have salt.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I have not been.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
There's no ifs answerp butts about it to.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Infinity and beyond.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
The answer is yes. Right now, am I gonna go
all the way and say I was a rigged deal?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Was it rigged?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Or did the NFL officials just randomly decline to do
their job?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The blind leading the blind.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Here right shout out blind Scott blind Emmitt in could
terror all the other blind listeners that we have. But
following the whistle and listen, I'm on teams swallow the whistle.
But when it comes to the relationship between Andy Reid
in this era of the Chiefs and the referees. It
is Disco, It's Casey and the Sunshine Band. For the Chiefs.
(05:17):
Here it's get down tonight. And that's the way I
like it. When the officials make those calls.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The safety, I just I gotta stress it. So I'm
watching the game, and I might have had a little
a little bit down on the Atlanta Fox. But aside
the point, all right, as so the safety cook this guy,
his head has turned his entire body. He wasn't playing
the ball. He even turned to look at the ball
(05:45):
he was playing that he was playing, Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It's hard to do that, to turn.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Your head to play the ball when you are wrapping
your arms around the receiver. And it's even more lighter
fluid for the deep state conspiracy that the NFL is
looking out for the Chiefs, not so much because they
love Patrick Mahomes, but because of a certain singer named
Taylor Swift. That's what this is all about. So the
(06:13):
back judge on this play was completely frozen. I don't
know if they charged him for a ticket, maybe he
got one online, but he was just observing and he
actually had the power to make the call.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's right. In front of him.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All right, now, speaking of the investment the NFL has here,
how are things looking for Travis kelcey in that Chiefs
offense after now three games? So this is another one
of those cover your eyes situations here. And while the
Chiefs appear to be getting an assist from the Zebras,
they're not getting much help from their all star tight end,
(06:48):
movie star, TV star, podcast star, not football star right now.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now, he doesn't have that part of it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
That's not part of the equation, man, all right, and
the pop love story for all the tabloids and the
social media world not living up to his end of
the bargain. Not at this point here, this was supposed
to be. I was told the Travis Kelce breakout game,
the Travis Kelce breakout game.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
This was gonna be it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So how did that go? Kelsey was targeted five times?
He had four catches, all right, four catches. We got
something eh thirty yards, no touchdowns and an average of
seven and a half yards per catch. And the store
brand tight end, generic brand tight end. That's Travis Kelce
at this particular point. Now, the question must be asked.
(07:37):
There's many questions. Is it his agees he now suddenly
passed his athletic prime and he's in his mid thirties.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Is it the rock and roll lifestyle?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Is that why hanging out traveling the world with Taylor
Swift and those private planes. Is it just merely a slump?
Is this a passing situation? He looked like he was
done last year, and then in the playoffs whatever kind
of magic potion Kelsey talk, he was not done. In
the playoffs, he turned things around. But overall on the year,
(08:06):
Travis Kelcey eight catches sixty nine yards and no touchdowns
in three games.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Those are the kind of numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean, he actually have some touchdowns, but those are
the kind of numbers catches and yards he'd have in
one game, but eight catches sixty nine yards. It was
the marvelous late Marvin Hagler who famously said of his
world in boxing. He gave the famous quotes it's very
tough to get out of bed and do that road
work at five am when you're sleeping in silk pajamas.
(08:35):
And right now, Travis Kelcey is a boy. He's got
really nice pajamas, silk, highest quality bed sheets you can
possibly get.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
But you got to do better and be better.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Right now, you look at that Chiefs offense and they're
not dynamic, they're not amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
They're three and oh, which is great.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But you've got the fast and furious star Rashie Rice,
who is the man, the big play guy, and and
he's got looming legal problems, but he's the big play guy.
And then after that it's a plotting team. The Chiefs
are a plotting team again like they were last day.
He won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Hollywood. Brown's not walking through that door. He's out for
the year.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And if he is walking through that door, he's got
probably a booty on her something like that. All right, Now,
last word here we moved to the broadcast world. A
number of you said, what about Tom Riley? All right,
so Tom Brady was again calling the Cowboys game because
every time Fox has the Cowboy game, he will be
calling the game. He will not be calling a Cowboy
(09:34):
game next week because Fox does not have the Cowboys
next week. But Brady was back on Fox calling the
Cowboy Ravens game and a misleading final score is the
stat Bandito did it yet again, Dak Prescott garbage time stats.
But Brady taking shrapnel yet again. So the latest on
(09:55):
this a longtime sportswriter and award winning best selling author
Don Van Natta.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
You know who that is? Now you don't know who
that is? Yeah, and nobody knows who writers.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Are anyway, this guy ripped Tom Brady's voice. This thing
started bouncing around, and people said, oh, yeah, that's the
problem Brady's got. You don't have the pipes your thoughts.
So I think this is fair criticism. I believe this
is actually fair criticism here. And it goes back to
the point that Brady was never supposed to be a broadcaster.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
No, he wasn't. It's not like he.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Dreamt his little key I want to I have a
voice for broadcasting. No, No, Tom Brady is a football player.
He's a three hundred and fifty million dollar testimonial to
the jockocracy of broadcasting. But you look at the voice
range for Tom Brady, and he's got more of a
tenor voice, more of a high pitched voice. And as
(10:51):
was pointed out, when he's teamed up with Kevin Burkhardt,
who's got this baritone voice, it creates a problem. I've
got extremes not great, and you toss in the biggest issue.
Brady sounded the way he sounds, but was actually given
good commentary that would be okay, But he sucks. That's
a problem, right. I mean, he's generic cliche Phil Tom
(11:13):
Brady commentary.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But the blas, the blas, the Brady blas and the
broadcast booth.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You're still waiting for that amazing inside, that engaging wisdom.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
But he is the goat. Give him time.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Three hundred and fifty million dollars. I gotta give him time.
That three hundred fifty mili I gotta give the guy time.
How much time should I give the guy? What does
it take six hundred million to get some good right away?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Is that? What it takes six hundred million?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Me?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Brady to me sounds like and I was at the
Rams game, but I had the I was flipping around
on my computer watching various games. What Brady sounds to
me like he's merely a copycat, Like he's doing what
he thinks an NFL broadcaster is supposed to do, which
is just.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Mimic what everyone else does.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
There's nothing original there, it's just a ripoff version. It's
like somebody decided, here's what a broadcast is gonna be
years ago, and Brady's says, Okay, I bet you didn't
even watch a lot of football broadcasts growing up. It's
certainly not in the NFL because he was playing and
all that stuff, and so it it's nothing unique, it's
nothing original. It's just another voice out in the sea
(12:26):
of audio, is what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:28):

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Should be an o Supermarkets Steve, who somehow did not
make it into the mass photograph we took at the
Malo Meet and Meet, the last one we did in Vegas,
and he and his wife were there, but they did
not make the photo.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Bad job by them. And there were other.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
People that did not make the photo either that we
were surprised somehow did not make it in. But our
lead this hour coming from deep in the heart of Texas,
and we go where the news of the day, Texas
and post mortem on Week three of the NFL with
two games to go tonight, two games on the card,
doubleheader Monday night football action. But as we continue our
(14:11):
in depth frame by frames of Bruder film style breakdown
a week three.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
A humdinger, humdinger of a story.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Now Derreck Henry was on a rampage for the Ravens,
the Poets no longer the Dead Poets Society. The Ravens
waking up their one hundred and fifty one yards from
Derreck Henry and not one but two touchdowns. Lamar Jackson
picking a part the Dallas Cowboy defense selectively, he had
a couple of scores. The Ravens jumped out to a
(14:44):
massively the final score misleading Baltimore ends up winning twenty
eight to twenty five. The game was not that close.
It was not that close. So the Ravens get to
win and the congratulations they're no longer winless one in
two now Baltimore. But the better story, as it almost always,
is in the losing locker room. That is where the
(15:05):
finger pointing is underway. Now, last week, before we get
to the latest drama, o rama, last week, Micah Parsons
pointed out that the Cowboy defense didn't play hard. Now
that flustered Zimmer and McCarthy, the coach's defensive coordinator, head coach,
and they came out and said, oh, no, they played hard.
(15:26):
They played hard, because that's like taboo for a coach.
You can't say you didn't play hard. That's like the
no no, you can't say that because that's on you anyway. Nonetheless,
so that was what happened last week. You had Micah
Parsons saying the defense didn't play hard. Now this week,
big money, big money, big money, No, who may stop
wide receiver C. D.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Lamb. He underscored the day, say he highlighted the day.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
How everyon want to say, first half red zone from
mall inside the ten yard line and that haunted the
Cowboys as they attempted to frameantically come back, which just
amounted to a lot of garbage time stats. The issue
was not just the fumble, It was the pouty face.
(16:09):
It was the pouty face. He had terrible body language,
and the body language tells a lot of the story.
A lot of the stories the body language and so
terrible body language. He also got into a verbal brew
ha ha a sideline rubarb with Dak Prescott and longtime
(16:29):
offensive lineman Zach Martin was also.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Involved at one point. So there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Then after the game, Ceedee Lamb, was he man enough
to go out and face the cameras and the microphones. No,
he took the cowardly road and high tail it out
of the locker room when the reporters entered like you expected,
and to actually be there.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Come on, what's wrong with you? All right? So let
us discuss the question, Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Is Ceedee Lamb getting into it with Dak Prescott of
the Cowboys? Something or nothing? Is this just a one
or two day stories? There's something more going on here.
So I've got Hasbro, Washington, Irving and UK and we
will combine all of these things together, and we will
(17:17):
go for a test drive.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Is what we're going to do now, Nom Burns right.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
The arrow is pointing towards something, and it's something delicious.
If you happen to be a gas bag or a blowheart. Boys,
this a great story. Just soak it all up right,
all the flavors, all the juices. What a wonderful story
this is because anarchy on the Cowboy ship. If you
(17:43):
were hear the Cowboys coming apart of the seams in
week two, Micah Parsons and the coaching staff in week three,
Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott. Wow, how great is this?
How great is now? Jerry Jones, who is the mice
of the drama?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
O rama?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Jerry Jones did it again? Jerry because he suffers from
fomo fear of missing out. God forbid Dak Prescott go
to another team and lose in the first round every year,
or Ceedee Lamb go somewhere else and flop in big games. No, no, no, no,
you got to keep the band together, right, So we
kept the band together, this iconic group of abject failures.
The worst you think about the Cowboy's not gonna win
(18:24):
anything of this year, and this will be the record.
This is going to beat the record for the longest
run of incompetence by a quarterback with one team not
getting to a championship game, a conference championship game. Dak
Prescott's gonna have that record. So that you got Dak
on one side, ceedee lamb on it. These guys both
(18:45):
got paid. They both got paid their loggerheads. You've got
the rotun Mike McCarthy, clueless, Mike on the sidelines, lame
duck head coach, dazed and confused. All this is going
on garbage garbage defense right, generally speaking, the Cowboys are
(19:07):
you know what they are? They're a Hasbro team. The
star players are there there Hasbro guys. It's a spin
off of My Pony. I know Brian, Brian over there
loves my Pony. It's a spin off of my Pony.
It's the show pony. It's a show pony because ceedee lamb.
When you do what he did, you're a show pony.
(19:28):
That's the way to describe it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You're you're there when you know when the things are
going well, you're out in front. Like is it true
that had the Cowboys won that game, and Ceedee Lamb
had a massive statistical game. He would have been out
there doing a pirouet on the catwalk if Dallas had won,
of course, of course, but they lost, and so you know,
it's kind of a rhetorical question. They lost, and so
he hops, skips and jumps out of there when the
(19:51):
media is there rather than taking questions. And he can't
even pretend at least Dak Prescott pretends Thatak's terrible too.
But Dak could just gives some tired cliches, is what
he does. But ceedeo am, he doesn't show up to camp,
he gets paid, and then when the going gets tough,
he high tails it out of there and makes his
teammates have to answer questions because he can't.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Be bothered with that.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
That's what we call a bad teammate, kids, all right now,
Page two saying in Dallas, more of the rhetoric. You
have veteran edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, who told the media
that he believes the Cowboys haven't been playing to the
best of their abilities. Really you think so, But they'll
get back on track. He said, quote here's the money.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Once we get out of playing little league football.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I thought it was Paul Border.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
He said little league football and get back to playing
pro football. We'll be all right the Cowboy defensive players,
said de Marcus Lawrence, saying the Cowboys will be fine
once they stopped playing little league football.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Is it that simple? So I'm gonna shake my head
no on this.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It is not that simple because you have deep rooted
fundamental issues on both sides of the ball, as we
have documented here with Ceedee Lamb and his issues, Dak
Prescott going back and forth there. But you also have
the defense where Baltimore and New Orleans treated them like
(21:19):
Plato and manipulated them in the words that hit are
the words of the late Washington Irving, a classic, the
legend of Sleepy Hollow, because that would sum up the
Dallas Cowboys that they're sleepy and they're hollow. They don't
show up on defense in the week two, according to
(21:40):
Michael Parsons, in week three, they're.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Just hollow, just hollow. And you check, as the kids
like to say, check the receipts there and it's not good,
not good all right now. Final point.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
After the loss, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked why
why he did not pursued Derrick Henry in free agency.
And his answer was short and sweet. In fact, he
said all of four words. He said, we couldn't afford
Derrick Henry is what he said, Clodes quote. Then he
(22:16):
gives some weird analogy about like a house, like he
already had a house, but they didn't really have a
house because they added Zeke Elliots, so it's not like
they actually had a house, not a good house. It
was more like a like a shanty townhouse situation. Anyway,
So Jerry Jones again. Jerry Jones says, the Cowboys could
not afford Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
How does that one hit you? How does that one
hit you?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
So? Right out of the UK? Terry and England can
back me up on this. I haven't seen a lot
of trash talk from Terry in England. He's a forty
nine er fan. I guess he's keeping quiet. I don't
blame him. I'd hide too if I was a forty
nine er fan. That's pretty embarrassing. My god, rams missing
two offensive linemen, two wide receivers, a couple of guys
on defense and they beat the forty nine.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Wow. Anyway, Jerry Jones again, Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Saying, hey, it's we didn't have the money and all
that stuffuldn't afford him.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But it is out of the UK. It's called there's
a term they use in the UK. It's called porky pies,
which are lies. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's a version of the truth, as we like to say,
just not the whole truth and definitely not nothing but
the truth.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's the reality here, the salary cap.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
As we have learned, I had the epiphany years ago,
the epiphany years ago. The reality is that we are
salary cap truthers. The salary cap is something very easily
to manipulate. It's a myth. It's a fiction that is used.
It has been weaponized by NFL teams if they want
(23:41):
to get rid of an unwanted player salary cap, if
they don't want to spend money on a player salary cap. Right,
But we know because we've seen it. The voodoo economics,
the voodoo boogaloo economics of it all that you simply
restructure some contracts, You move roster bonuses around into signing bonuses,
(24:01):
You add voidable years, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera,
You renegotiate certain deals, and all of a sudden, you
can sign whoever you want to your heart's desire. Where
there's a will, there's a way. And Jerry Jones did
not have any motivation. If I remember correctly, Derrick Henry
essentially said the Cowboys never made him an off. He
(24:22):
wanted to play for the Cowboys, but they didn't want it. Now,
it's yet to be determined how this story ends with
Derrick Henry. He does have a lot of miles on
the odometer, and typically running backs when they get to
a certain point, their production goes.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Down, down, down, down down? Does limbo? How low can
you go?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
However, you and I both know that Derek Henry looked
amazing for the most part against the Cowboys on Sunday. Now,
how much of that is the Cowboys defense and how
much of that is Derek Henry, Well, that's yet to
be determined. But that's where we are right now. It
is the Bane Maller Show. We thank you for hanging
out with us. We know you have options, not good ones,
but we're here for you all night, five nights a week,
(24:57):
and then really eight days a week because I do
the podcast on the week kins the fifth hour podcast,
which is.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Up and running. I even got a TV show now,
it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Maybe not after this week and more mediocre picks against
the spread, I'm waiting for my big Baffosco weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
This could be it.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler

Speaker 2 (25:21):
To the third degree?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
This is one big Ben gets Grailobolo.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
At only twenty two years old, Red star Elie de
la Cruz became the first shortstop in NLB history to
have a twenty five homer sixty five steal season. Afterwards,
he told the media that he is eyeing the newly
created fifty to fifty club and do you think he
could achieve that?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yes, because if you if you're motivating, he plays at
a ballpark where it's easy to hit home runs. He
obviously can steal. He's as fast as anybody in baseball.
So yeah, if that's your motivation, of course, if your desire,
we've seen it now. Well this is the first time
with Otani, but we we had last year. Akuna came
quote next.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Paul George made a podcast appearance over the weekend Where
why George? He was asked what player under twenty five
he would build a franchise around, and he was not
allowed to pick Luca Donzig, Anthony Edwards or Victor Wimbnyama.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Paul George went with Pallo Benchero? Who would you pick? Ben?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I haven't thought about the NBA since last season, Coop,
so I don't have an edited next?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Okay after a five out? Well, I think about the NBA.
It's it's September.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Come on, I write these before this Sunday, four weeks
of the college football season.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Who is your early favorite to win the highest pol.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Cam Ward of Miami? Clearly he's the favorite cam.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Ward all the way, all day, all night. How do
we know that's a wail edition, that's a win. You
asked me about Benchero, Ben? NBA? What's wrong with you?
