Speaker 3 (01:35):
My mentor back in the day in San Diego used
to say.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Another day, another big shake up in the NFL. And
as you have not heard, possibly maybe you heard this
out of it what you got going on your world?
We had just wrapped up week eleven. Now Week twelve
begins in a day right as are heading into Wednesday,
and then tomorrow the week twelve kicks off. But we
(01:59):
have now the Jets have said bye bye to their
general manager, the owner Woody Johnson, firing Joe Douglas after
five plus seasons of ineptitude in Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
So Joe Douglas is out.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Someone named Phil Savage sounds like a TV anchor in Toledo. Well,
Phil Savage, who is an advisor some show up, get
paid to do nothing job for the Jets. He has
been named the interim GM and what a track record
he has. At one point he was the GM of
the Cleveland Browns. You don't remember that because can you
(02:40):
name any GM of the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
No, you can't because they blow anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
A lot of moving parts to this story, but let
us discuss the obvious question. When someone of profile, I
don't know that high profile, but we know who this
guy is.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
When someone loses their job.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
We asked the question, where where did Joe Douglass go
wrong in his reign of terror with the Jets. So
I've got ponies, spinach, and laryngitis, and we will tie
all of these things together, and we are going to
make potatoes all grotten. Is where we're gonna make when
(03:19):
now holiday's coming up here, potatoes all grotten. So a
the Jets say it with me. Now sucked at a
time you cannot suck. Now that would be on Thursdays,
Sundays and Mondays.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It is a.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Results based profession. But aren't all jobs results based? I
guess you have a government job. It's not really results based.
But I know the job I have is results based,
and I would assume the job you have is results based.
It just happens. We're talking about pro football Under Joe Douglas.
The Jets took the field for ninety four games since
twenty nineteen when he took over. They lost sixty four
(03:59):
of the ninety four games while he was the GM.
That is at the near the very bout. It's not
the worst.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But when your neighbors are.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Jacksonville and Carolina, that's not the good side of the tracks.
If you know what I'm saying, right, you're on the
wrong side of the tracks. Things are not going well.
It's high crime, a lot of pollution. People you know,
put trash all over the streets. They don't take pride
in their community. That is, that's the side of the
tracks that the Jets are on with Jacksonville and Carolina.
(04:27):
But if you break it down even further, because that's
what we do here in Overnight Talk Radio, what happened
is Joe Douglas made a mistake. It's because of the ponies.
He bet on the wrong horses. And as we.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Learn somewhere along the way, maybe you learn this when
you're young, maybe you learn it when you're older. But
it's a life.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The game of life, or any anything involving life and
jobs and whatnot is a series of choices. The choices
that you make today will affect the ones that you
make Tomorrow's kind of how that works.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And so Joe.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Douglas made the choice that motivational speaker Robert Salah would
be a good head coach and that aging Aaron Rodgers
would have been a wonderful addition to the New York Jets,
and it turns out that Robert Salah could not coach
his way out of a wet paper bag.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
If you give him a flashlight, a knife.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And a map, you'd have no chance. And Rogers has
has been getting a bunch of downloads. In fact, here's
the problem. He's been better at getting downloads on podcast
interviews with like Joe Rogan than touchdowns for the Jets.
It's rather disturbing if you're the Jets now page two here,
what does his Jets Joe Douglas firing.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Signify to you? So this is one of those things.
Way it is a trip.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
To the confessional, is what it is. They make a
movie and these guys all talk a good game and
they give you the rhetoric and the run around, but
it's moments like this, These are moments of clarity in
the fog.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
We can see through it all. We have X ray
vision now.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So the owner, Woody Johnson put his neck out and
had said on more than one occasion that this Jets
roster in twenty twenty four, the year of our Lord,
the Jets roster the best that he has had as
his in his run as owner of the Jets twenty
five years. Generation Woody Johnson said, this is the top
(06:24):
roster he's had, so he fired Robert Salah, the motivational speaker.
The team responded, since then they have gone one in five. Now,
I didn't play in the NFL, but I think that sucks.
And so Woody Johnson decided to go Popeye the say alertment.
Woody ate some spinach. He told Joe Douglas that's all
(06:45):
I can stands. I can't stands no more. It's time
to remove the bright green as bestis and get it
out of here. So he got out the sponge and
went scrub a dub dub. And this is what's known
as a factory rece say, something that happens every couple
of years. My entire life with the Jets, every couple
(07:06):
of years, this.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Kind of thing happens. And so the job is fully open.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
If they want to hire a GM coach, combo a
package deal to run the Jets, that's available.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
And Joe Douglas has worked for a bunch of teams
and he's.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Going to get paid. And it's a lot different when
you have a situation like this where you get paid out.
We can goof on people like this because Joe Douglas
will get paid in full, and he'll get another good
job somewhere, either in media or on television. You know,
in television media, or somewhere in the NFL is a
scout or a consultant or something like that. One of
those gigs where you get paid a fair amount of
(07:44):
money and you don't have a lot of responsibility and
just kind of show up and get paid with.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Not too much going on.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Now the last word here, Now we get down to
the meat of the matter. How much of the blame
for the debacle in Jersey falls on the shoulders of
Aid Rogers for the Jets demise. So I would advise
(08:12):
Rogers to go down and buy some nice honey mustard sauce,
nice dipping sauce to help the medicine go down. To
help the medicine go down, Rogers, if I'm not mistaken,
correct me if I'm wrong. He was billed as a
frontman for essentially an off Broadway musical, and that's where
the Jets are over in Jersey. They're an off Broadway
(08:33):
musical and Rogers was the lead vocalist. He ended up
getting laryngitis. And when you get older and you see
this in the In the music game, singers, performers get older,
and the voice. Once the voice goes, it doesn't return. Now,
you got a lot of steroids and other things, try
to get a come back. But try as he might,
Aaron Rodgers simply cannot hold a note, at least not
(08:56):
the kind of a note that he once held playing
at Lambbeld. It has not left Wisconsin to New Jersey.
The entire time he has been in the cockpit, Aaron Rodgers'
voice has been flemy, it's been raspy. And he's under
contract for next season. Technically, technically next season, Rogers is
(09:18):
part of the Jets, but none of that salary is guaranteed.
And as you and I know, and that lamp post
over to the side of the road knows, that makes
you a duck, but not Donald duck. How about a
lame duck. You change the GM, you change the coach,
You're going to change the quarterback. It's the three pillars
(09:40):
of the NFL. So I will be the first to
ask the question, where does Aaron Rodgers land in twenty
twenty five?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
So retirement is an option. Retirement is an option.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
However, we suspect that he wants to get that foul
taste out of his mouth from what has happened this year.
So he's going to want to play. He's gonna want
to go out there and play one more season at least.
So which teams would be interested in Rogers?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So just using the.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Old crystal ball and putting together Malers big board, which
is not a list, it's just a big board.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
So if you look at the big board.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Based on my analysis from the crystal ball, the Indianapolis
Colts are high up on that list. I would also
say among the other options, the Titans, the Seahawks, the Raiders,
and the Saints.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Those are all possible. And now Jim Mersay is such a.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Loose cannon as owner in Indy and Anthony Richardson unless
Anthony Richardson has five six more games like he did
on Sunday, which is highly unlikely and start.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Stringing good performers.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Together, the Horseshoes will be interested in adding a quarterback,
and so Aaron Rodgers is a stopgap option. The Seattle
football team doesn't have a quarterback. They're the headless Seahawk there.
Gino Smith is a bum, so they could easily replace him.
And we know that Aaron Rodgers has land in Tennessee
(11:08):
and the Titans don't have a quarterback. Will Levis is garbage.
The Raiders also, much to my disappointment because I'm a
Gardner Minshew fan, Minshew many and all that has not
worked out. So the Raiders have an opening at quarterback.
There's a blank space on their bingo card, and then
you look down to the Bayou. The Saints are going
(11:28):
to have a new coach. Derek Carr will not be
back in New Orleans because he stinks, and so there's
a possibly Rogers could go down hang out in Louisiana
for the final year of his career. So those are
all options, and there will be more options based on
people getting hurt, you know, snap, crackle, pop and all that,
which will happen between now and the end of the season.
(11:52):
But it's rather obvious that he will not be going
back Rogers to the team that wears green in New Jersey.
That is not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Benmelor Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Trouble in the process well, come in the beginning of
another hour of the Benmalor Show. We are in the
air everywhere, besties, as we enjoy the dance of life
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast and rightfully powerful microphones of FSR am monating live
(12:37):
from the depot, the smoke depot, as these takes.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Are burning up the microphones.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We're broadcasting live from the Tyract dot Com studios Tyract
dot Com. We'll help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, pre road hazard protection and over ten
thousand recommended installers, tire Racht, the.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Way, tire Buying, shure.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
B and I know og og Art Puffin big fan
of ten thousand likes that number ten thousand. So I
lead this hour the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate
pro bouncy ball monologue from the Delaware Valley. This is
such a good story. I was like, I was trying
(13:25):
to find someone else. I was like, well, as I
was perusing the Sporting News and what.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Caught my attention like this just stood out.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I was, I know, it's I realize it's November and
the ratings are tanking in the NBA. The product's not
very good. I get all that. I understand it. I
know you're upset with me. But if there is a
volcano bubbling up in the sports world, I fly my
copter right into the volcano.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I like the lava. I enjoyed the molten lava as
what I enjoy.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So, if you've not been following along, and perhaps not,
the Philadelphia basketball team has lost eleven of the thirteen
games they had played to start the season. Now, I
did not play in the NBN. I just do the
overnight show here, so what do I know.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But where I come from the old country, that is embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
If you lose eleven of your first thirteen games and
you were possibly trying to win, you've done something terribly wrong.
You've done something horribly wrong. And that includes the other
night in Miami. Miami and Miami they had that South
Beach flu. I used to fight Eddie about that. He
was wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
By the way I point that out. The South Beach
flu is real.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So it's quite possible that Sixers went out enjoyed the
night life there at the fount Home Blue and the
other great locations in South Florida. Maybe they were out
partying with weed Man hippie and they lost, and that
inspired a player's only meeting before December one, A player's
only meeting my favorite. So we are told from those
(15:04):
who have their ear to the ground that injured star
Tyrese Maxi called out the face of the Sixer franchise
to his face, Joel Ebad. Now corner story. As we
are told, Tyrese Maxey ripped Joel Embiid to his face
(15:25):
for being a bad example. The supposed leader of the Sixers.
Maxie is a good relationship with Embiid. He called out
his buddy there for regularly being late to practice and
to other team functions, and he pointed out to Embiid
that he better get his ass together there and set
(15:47):
a better example as a supposed leader day in day out.
And he pointed out that timeliness somewhat important. Timeliness is
something important. So let us discuss the question for the
esteem panel. This is a former MVP. They haven't added
(16:07):
the MVP this year, so who knows who win it
this year? It's not gonna be him, but a former
MVP in pro basketball, Joel Enbid publicly called out for
his lack of punctuality with the seventy six ers, give
me your reaction. So I've got middle ages, mayberry, and honeydew,
(16:30):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make you a wholk mediac is
what we're gonna make you. So, num Burn, how's the
process working out for you in Philly?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
How's that process? So?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I have determined after a minutes long mallor investigation, the
reason we are talking about this story and the reason
the Sixers made sure this story got out it was strategic.
You know how I feel about closed door meetings. Players
only meetings. If you've heard this show at all over
the years.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Has been here a while now. They are done for
the cameras.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
They're done for dopes like me that have microphones, they
are done for optics. Players only meetings are held to
give the illusion that you care, to give the appearance
that you're really trying to do something and change things around,
(17:30):
whether that's spoken or not, and you never hear ever
like the Cleveland caval.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I give you an example. We'll talk about them more a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Cavaliers got off to a fifteen zero start. They lost
to the Celtics on Tuesday night. Did you hear anyone
say we had a player's only meeting on the calves
because we want everything's going well, but we just wanted
to have a player's only meeting. No, there's no need
to meet, right, Tyrese Maxi and Joel Embiid could have
easily had a one on one private conversation. They could
(17:58):
have had it at dinner at some find restaurant when
they're out in the road. They could have had it
back in Philadelphia. But instead, if you believe the reporting,
they had this conversation in front of the entire team.
Not only that, but wait there's more. As every great
infomercial late night infomercial says, someone then conveniently leaks the
(18:18):
story to Sham's Sharania to broadcast to the world.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
It's a classic move.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's happened many times in my career behind these microphones,
and it actually goes back to the Middle Ages.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
It goes back to the Middle Ages.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's public shaming, stalks, it is it's degrading Embiid. You
are airing dirty laundry outside because you want this to
publicly embarrass and because you know Embiid is someone that
consumes a lot of media. He's someone that is out
there with what people are saying on social media for sure,
(18:55):
whether it's old school media, who knows. But you're putting
this out there and you're using it as a container
of caffeine. You're trying to wake up Joel Embiid from
the malaise that he finds himself in. And I'm not.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Sure about you. Maybe it's different for you. But I
was always told when I was younger that just showing up.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I hated school and one of my problems with school
as I didn't show up a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But once I figured that out, just show up.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Ninety percent of life is just showing up on time
at Punctuality is your friend, it's not your enemy, and
you'll often get the benefit of the doubt just by
showing up. Now, page two, here the streets in Philadelphia
are talking, and they're not spitting out cheese, steaks and
tasty cakes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
They say that there are.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
No internal discussions at this moment in time regarding the
future of a head coach, Nick Nurse or the president
of Basketball Ops Darryl Moury. So that's the reporting. So
those are the reports. They said Nick Nurse and Daryl
Moray are safe. The brain behind the worst team money
(20:02):
can buy in basketball with the seventy six ers.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Do you believe it? So that would be a no.
On this side of the microphone, I do not believe it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You are not in Maybury. You are not in Mayberry.
This is Dante's inferno, is what it is. Philadelphia is
a sports town that I hold in high self esteem,
highest team rather because listen the Philadelphia sports and I've
had some arguments people in Philadelphia, but I love the
passion right. It's very passionable place when it comes to sports.
(20:32):
They hold people accountable. They're not just gonna sit there
on their hands and you know, la la la la
la la la la la and accept a crap bag team.
They're not gonna do that. They did that for a
while with trust the process, and they lost a lot
of fans. Darryl Morey is never going to be criticized
(20:53):
in the media because he is beloved by basketball scribes.
He's the head nerve of the nerd revolution in the NBA.
Has that big nerd conference every year in Boston and
he's the keynote speaker more times than not. So Daryl
Moury is not going to be ripped by anybody who
covers the NBA because he feeds them NBA news on
(21:15):
a regular basis. But the foundation that Maury built, now
he inherited some of it, but he made the tactical
decisions here. It has built this giant palas on a
pile of quicksand the pillars of.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
The seventy six ers franchise are too.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Highly paid, aging, lazy, injury prone veterans. Does that make
any sense to anyone? You have podcast p Paul George
by George.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Who would rather be doing a podcast somewhere than playing.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's good to know that he just he continued on
his rich tradition of being a lazy player in Philadelphia
as he was with the Clippers. Then you have WELLNB
Now this season, let's take a look at Joel Embiid's
season so far. This season, he has announced to the
world that he is brittle. His body is falling apart,
(22:14):
and despite signing up to a contract to be a
professional athlete, his body is so broken down that he
cannot play back to back games. Imagine telling your boss,
I can't work back to back nights like if I
want to know my boss is here at Fox Sports trade,
and I said, Liz, and I did the show Monday,
and I did it Tuesday. It's now Wednesday. I need
(22:37):
a break. It's three nights in a row. It's a
lot of talking. They would look at me and they
would kick me in the nuts and that would be that.
But also, Joel Embiid not in shape, right, That's part
of the problem. He's not in shape. He also laid
hands on a Philadelphia sports columnist. He was suspended by
the NBA for that getting physical. Now he's been publicly
(22:58):
called out by a teammate.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Things are going Other than that, things are.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Going really well. Darryl Mori and coach Nick Nurse are
allowing Joe L and B to be coddled.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
They are supporting the pampering.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Of Joel Embiid. Is that a fact or not. I
believe it is a fact. And if this continues and
the team continues to stink out loud, the Turk will
pay a visit to the seventy six ers and one
or both either Daryl Moore most.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Likely Nick Nurse will be out and there will be a.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Sacrifice collateral damage as a result of this season. Now,
final point, as you know, I enjoy having on in
the background most nights, just in the background game or
two on flipping around. Every night's a ball night, every
night's of ball night. You get the game on, and
so I'm getting ready for the show and I have
(23:53):
game one. A big game on Tuesday was the Celtics
and the Cavaliers from Boston, so I had that game.
That game is the early game and then the late window.
I watched a little bit of the OKC San Antonio
game that bored me, and then I watched my Utah
Jazz lose to that other team in La the Ugly
(24:17):
brother there the Clips, I forget their name. So I
watched that. But in the Boston game, Jason Tatum had
a team high thirty three points.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Halfway to sixty six.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
As the Celtics led by as many as twenty one points.
Cleveland came back. They scratched and claude they got back
into the game, but in the end, the Celtics beat
the Cavs one twenty to one seventeen in a regular
season game, but was a little more important than most
regular season games because Cleveland got its first loss of
the season after a fifteen to oh start. And here's
(24:53):
the question. Now the fifteen and one now, So why
has and this is actually a question that was sent
in by one of our listeners in Ohio, Well, why
hasn't this Spider Mitchell perfect start been a bigger deal?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Why wasn't this a bigger deal?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Fifteen and oh one of the all time great starts
to an NBA season now fifteen and one, and one
of our listeners in Ohio, and I'm sure there's others
that feel this, Well, why wasn't this getting more more attention?
Why was this not getting more buzz, more of a
spotlight on it? And my answer to that, it's like honeydew,
it's the fruit is simply not in season in the NBA.
(25:33):
It's not Now the NBA season really doesn't begin un
till April. It used to be Christmas, but now it
really doesn't begin until April.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
The players aren't interested most of the time, they're not engaged.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And I will give Cleveland credit, they're taking these games seriously.
They're playing with some enthusiasm, some energy, some effort that
most teams do not present. Most teams do not present. However,
the Calves are lacking that they are and while Spider
Mitchell is A star. Donovan Mitchell is not an A
(26:06):
list star. I'm surprised he's still in Cleveland because everything
I had heard was he was trying to get out
of Cleveland and end up with one of the teams
in New York, the Nets or the Knickerbockers that would
peer the nets of the team now because the Knicks
are pretty loaded. But he is still in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
The team's playing very well.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
They remind me of a little bit better version of
Atlanta years ago.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Remember the Hawks. I forget how many years ago it was.
I think it was probably within I.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Want to say within the last certainly the last ten years,
but I forget exactly the year.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
But they had Al Horford.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
They had a bunch of B and C level players,
and they had a great record. And this is back
when Lebron was in Cleveland. They had a great record,
but you knew that it wasn't really sustainable and they
weren't likely going to win in the playoffs because they
didn't have enough A level players. They had a lot
of b's and a lot of c's, and sure enough,
that's what happened. One year, Like they had like four
(27:02):
or five All stars. The Atlanta Hawks, and they won
a bunch of games in the regular season, but you
knew it wasn't really gonna happen in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
And that's what I look at this Cleveland team and
I'm like, well, that's kind of same. It's kind of same.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Now, I will give him this. They did get the
attention of the Celtics. I know it's that that NBA
Company Cup or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I don't know, some w thing the NBA is desperately
trying to get.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
People to engage in. By the way, spoiler alert, it's
not working. But Boston painted a masterpiece. The one thing
that annoyed me I was watching on TNT and the
guy doing the game and he does a lot of
baseball games. He's like a Milwaukee broadcaster. I forget the
guy's name. He's very generic, very generic broadcaster guy. But
(27:46):
he was doing the game with stan Van Gunny and
he kept getting so amazed by the Celtics making three
point shots. And I'm the opposite, like, I'm amazed when
the Celtics make a two point shot. Like to me,
them knocking down a bunch of three point shots is
not not interesting. That's all they do. It is poper shot.
It is like me when I go out to the Arcade,
(28:08):
right when I go out to David Busters on the
weekend and I'm playing the paper shot. That is what
the Celtics do, and it's it's just I used to
love three point shots. The NBA has made me dislike
three point shots because that's all they do. It used
to be rare and appropriate. Now it's rare and appropriate
to not shoot a three point shot. And the ratings
continue to show that the public is not interested in
(28:32):
what they're throwing out there, and not only so much
the way they're playing. It's the lack of interest, lack
of effort by many of the star players. The NBA
ratings continue to do the downward dog dog Dog, Dog
dog Dog. They are down twenty eight percent. NBA ratings
have gone in the tank, down twenty eight percent.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Hey, it's not my job. I don't work for the
NBA at somebody else's.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
And they're claiming it's all because of pirrating, it's all
because of this, that and the other thing.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Well, okay, but that's not good. That's a bit of
a problem, I would.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Think, But what do I know.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
It's Maller.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Grilled and we bring in the Coop dal loop.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
So then, as you mentioned, the seventy six Ers fell
to two and eleven on Monday with a loss to
the Heat. Now, as you say, the NBA season doesn't
really start until Christmas, But is the seventy six or
season already beyond saving?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
No? God, no, not. At that point they're nine games
under five hundred, which I would say is not ideal,
that's not what you're looking for. But the Eastern Conference,
there's a lot of crap bag teams in the Eastern Conference.
So as long as you get in that bu Gaysey
playing thing, you're fine. And if you if you look
(30:00):
at it that way, the Sixers, I believe, were three
games out of a play in spot. So here for
only three games out, that's that's nothing. Of a bigger
concern is Joel Embiid just doesn't seem all that engaged.
Did Paul George is Malcolm you know, he's got his
own issues. So it's a mess.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Next the twenty twenty five ballot for the Baseball Hall
of Fame was released on Monday, and there are fourteen
first time candidates. Ben, which of those do you think
will make it on their first try?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, so the obvious one here is each Row and
anything else other than that.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
That's the one.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
When I watched him play, I said, that's a Hall
of Famer. Each Row's a Hall of Famer. Sabbathi is
likely going to get in also as well. But I
would of the name like Curtis Granderson, Guys like that,
the one Adam Jones, Hailey Ramirez.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
These are like good players.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
But the one that was a great player that I
knew right away when you're watching him as a Hall
of Famer was Each Row.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Next on Sunday, Matthew Stafford moved into tenth all time
on the NFL's career asking touchdown list. Realistically can pass
Matt Ryan for number nine this season. How high up
a list do you think he can go before he
calls it quits.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Well, I'm surprised he's still playing, Coop. I thought he
was gonna stop playing a couple of years ago. So
you look at his age, he's made a lot of money.
Likely his last year with the Rams. This year he's
thirty six years old, so I'll give him another year
or two, not much. How do we do?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Cokee?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
You passed this vision.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
On the.

if they end up getting married or something like that.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Which had like a Mallard themed wedding.
Speaker 7 (32:33):

He's like able to do weddings.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Yeah, I don't know who wouldn't want that from you?
Having Ben Mahler officiate your wedding.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
No, I would of course charge a nominal fee, but
I think that would be wonderful, so I thought.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
I I did not realize they were together.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
Congratulations, yes, congratulations on your love all right, because I
love love.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
You're all about to love. That's why you do this
segment with Queen of Hearts.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Cowboy Killer writes and says, how does a guy get
over a dry spell?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
He would like to know, you.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Gotta get a wet baby. No, really, that's how you.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Get over You mean going to the pool.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
There, of course, this swimming pool, although it's a little
coold this time of the baby.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Put some baby oil on you.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, all right, Hello j JT and the Wyman rights
in he says Lorena. Do women judge me because of
the car that I drive?
Speaker 7 (33:33):
Well, that depends what car do you drive.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
I need to know the details because if you have
a really nice car, women might judge you, but like
in a good way. I have been with people like
dated wise who do not have nice cars. Like, it's
not always a thing. There's other things you can spend
your money on, like if you have a nice place
over a nice car. I think a lot of girls
prefer that, because what are you gonna do make love
to her in your car every day?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Well, some people are into that Lorena defense and out
in the woods.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
But he said, looks he's driving a giant shoe.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Jath the Wiman.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
People might judge a giant shoe. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Possibly, Alf the Alien pinter says, do you have.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
I'm sorry, I just gotta say this real fast.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
Homeless people don't always have shoes, and they always have lovers.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
All right now, Alf says, do you have any old
Mexican food recipes that have been passed down to you?
Cooking with Lorena? Oh, he's asking, I am.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
I wish I had better answers for this because my
grandma made the best homemade tortillas and best pinto beans.
But I have none of her recipes because when I
was younger, I really didn't care.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
It's unfortunate. Yes, Chris, who's a big fan of show,
I met him in Kansas City again and he he's
a chef back in his day, and he he said
that Roberto's recipes like we're legitimately good. Christopher writes, and
he says, as a blind lover who has been married
for thirty five years, I need to know how to
spice things up in the bedroom to satisfy my sighted wife.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
How about that, darn you know, think about some visually
appeasing stuff.
Speaker 7 (35:04):
Maybe give her a strip tease.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Well, he's blind, How does he know what visually is visual?
Speaker 8 (35:09):
Imagine what you Just because you're blind doesn't mean you
don't have an imagination about smells.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
How about like some nice smells.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Yeah, but his wife isn't blind.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
He's blind, So try to think of things that are
going to excite her senses.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Oh but all right, tell her you want to read
her body, run your fingers over.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Her legs brain.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
If you haven't done this by now.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Is that what they do in the blind community.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
They should trace the moles on her back.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Connect the dots, O g R puffin, says Loraina.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Do you apply the sniff test to your social approach?
Speaker 7 (35:47):
I always apply the sniff test?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You do?
Speaker 7 (35:50):
Yeah? I hate when people smell bad.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Yeah, a red robin and I'd walk around the restaurant

Speaker 3 (01:35):
My mentor back in the day in San Diego used
to say.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Another day, another big shake up in the NFL. And
as you have not heard, possibly maybe you heard this
out of it what you got going on your world?
We had just wrapped up week eleven. Now Week twelve
begins in a day right as are heading into Wednesday,
and then tomorrow the week twelve kicks off. But we
(01:59):
have now the Jets have said bye bye to their
general manager, the owner Woody Johnson, firing Joe Douglas after
five plus seasons of ineptitude in Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
So Joe Douglas is out.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Someone named Phil Savage sounds like a TV anchor in Toledo. Well,
Phil Savage, who is an advisor some show up, get
paid to do nothing job for the Jets. He has
been named the interim GM and what a track record
he has. At one point he was the GM of
the Cleveland Browns. You don't remember that because can you
(02:40):
name any GM of the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
No, you can't because they blow anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
A lot of moving parts to this story, but let
us discuss the obvious question. When someone of profile, I
don't know that high profile, but we know who this
guy is.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
When someone loses their job.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
We asked the question, where where did Joe Douglass go
wrong in his reign of terror with the Jets. So
I've got ponies, spinach, and laryngitis, and we will tie
all of these things together, and we are going to
make potatoes all grotten. Is where we're gonna make when
(03:19):
now holiday's coming up here, potatoes all grotten. So a
the Jets say it with me. Now sucked at a
time you cannot suck. Now that would be on Thursdays,
Sundays and Mondays.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It is a.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Results based profession. But aren't all jobs results based? I
guess you have a government job. It's not really results based.
But I know the job I have is results based,
and I would assume the job you have is results based.
It just happens. We're talking about pro football Under Joe Douglas.
The Jets took the field for ninety four games since
twenty nineteen when he took over. They lost sixty four
(03:59):
of the ninety four games while he was the GM.
That is at the near the very bout. It's not
the worst.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But when your neighbors are.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Jacksonville and Carolina, that's not the good side of the tracks.
If you know what I'm saying, right, you're on the
wrong side of the tracks. Things are not going well.
It's high crime, a lot of pollution. People you know,
put trash all over the streets. They don't take pride
in their community. That is, that's the side of the
tracks that the Jets are on with Jacksonville and Carolina.
(04:27):
But if you break it down even further, because that's
what we do here in Overnight Talk Radio, what happened
is Joe Douglas made a mistake. It's because of the ponies.
He bet on the wrong horses. And as we.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Learn somewhere along the way, maybe you learn this when
you're young, maybe you learn it when you're older. But
it's a life.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The game of life, or any anything involving life and
jobs and whatnot is a series of choices. The choices
that you make today will affect the ones that you
make Tomorrow's kind of how that works.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And so Joe.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Douglas made the choice that motivational speaker Robert Salah would
be a good head coach and that aging Aaron Rodgers
would have been a wonderful addition to the New York Jets,
and it turns out that Robert Salah could not coach
his way out of a wet paper bag.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
If you give him a flashlight, a knife.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And a map, you'd have no chance. And Rogers has
has been getting a bunch of downloads. In fact, here's
the problem. He's been better at getting downloads on podcast
interviews with like Joe Rogan than touchdowns for the Jets.
It's rather disturbing if you're the Jets now page two here,
what does his Jets Joe Douglas firing.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Signify to you? So this is one of those things.
Way it is a trip.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
To the confessional, is what it is. They make a
movie and these guys all talk a good game and
they give you the rhetoric and the run around, but
it's moments like this, These are moments of clarity in
the fog.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
We can see through it all. We have X ray
vision now.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So the owner, Woody Johnson put his neck out and
had said on more than one occasion that this Jets
roster in twenty twenty four, the year of our Lord,
the Jets roster the best that he has had as
his in his run as owner of the Jets twenty
five years. Generation Woody Johnson said, this is the top
(06:24):
roster he's had, so he fired Robert Salah, the motivational speaker.
The team responded, since then they have gone one in five. Now,
I didn't play in the NFL, but I think that sucks.
And so Woody Johnson decided to go Popeye the say alertment.
Woody ate some spinach. He told Joe Douglas that's all
(06:45):
I can stands. I can't stands no more. It's time
to remove the bright green as bestis and get it
out of here. So he got out the sponge and
went scrub a dub dub. And this is what's known
as a factory rece say, something that happens every couple
of years. My entire life with the Jets, every couple
(07:06):
of years, this.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Kind of thing happens. And so the job is fully open.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
If they want to hire a GM coach, combo a
package deal to run the Jets, that's available.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
And Joe Douglas has worked for a bunch of teams
and he's.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Going to get paid. And it's a lot different when
you have a situation like this where you get paid out.
We can goof on people like this because Joe Douglas
will get paid in full, and he'll get another good
job somewhere, either in media or on television. You know,
in television media, or somewhere in the NFL is a
scout or a consultant or something like that. One of
those gigs where you get paid a fair amount of
(07:44):
money and you don't have a lot of responsibility and
just kind of show up and get paid with.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Not too much going on.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Now the last word here, Now we get down to
the meat of the matter. How much of the blame
for the debacle in Jersey falls on the shoulders of
Aid Rogers for the Jets demise. So I would advise
(08:12):
Rogers to go down and buy some nice honey mustard sauce,
nice dipping sauce to help the medicine go down. To
help the medicine go down, Rogers, if I'm not mistaken,
correct me if I'm wrong. He was billed as a
frontman for essentially an off Broadway musical, and that's where
the Jets are over in Jersey. They're an off Broadway
(08:33):
musical and Rogers was the lead vocalist. He ended up
getting laryngitis. And when you get older and you see
this in the In the music game, singers, performers get older,
and the voice. Once the voice goes, it doesn't return. Now,
you got a lot of steroids and other things, try
to get a come back. But try as he might,
Aaron Rodgers simply cannot hold a note, at least not
(08:56):
the kind of a note that he once held playing
at Lambbeld. It has not left Wisconsin to New Jersey.
The entire time he has been in the cockpit, Aaron Rodgers'
voice has been flemy, it's been raspy. And he's under
contract for next season. Technically, technically next season, Rogers is
(09:18):
part of the Jets, but none of that salary is guaranteed.
And as you and I know, and that lamp post
over to the side of the road knows, that makes
you a duck, but not Donald duck. How about a
lame duck. You change the GM, you change the coach,
You're going to change the quarterback. It's the three pillars
(09:40):
of the NFL. So I will be the first to
ask the question, where does Aaron Rodgers land in twenty
twenty five?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
So retirement is an option. Retirement is an option.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
However, we suspect that he wants to get that foul
taste out of his mouth from what has happened this year.
So he's going to want to play. He's gonna want
to go out there and play one more season at least.
So which teams would be interested in Rogers?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So just using the.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Old crystal ball and putting together Malers big board, which
is not a list, it's just a big board.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
So if you look at the big board.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Based on my analysis from the crystal ball, the Indianapolis
Colts are high up on that list. I would also
say among the other options, the Titans, the Seahawks, the Raiders,
and the Saints.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Those are all possible. And now Jim Mersay is such a.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Loose cannon as owner in Indy and Anthony Richardson unless
Anthony Richardson has five six more games like he did
on Sunday, which is highly unlikely and start.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Stringing good performers.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Together, the Horseshoes will be interested in adding a quarterback,
and so Aaron Rodgers is a stopgap option. The Seattle
football team doesn't have a quarterback. They're the headless Seahawk there.
Gino Smith is a bum, so they could easily replace him.
And we know that Aaron Rodgers has land in Tennessee
(11:08):
and the Titans don't have a quarterback. Will Levis is garbage.
The Raiders also, much to my disappointment because I'm a
Gardner Minshew fan, Minshew many and all that has not
worked out. So the Raiders have an opening at quarterback.
There's a blank space on their bingo card, and then
you look down to the Bayou. The Saints are going
(11:28):
to have a new coach. Derek Carr will not be
back in New Orleans because he stinks, and so there's
a possibly Rogers could go down hang out in Louisiana
for the final year of his career. So those are
all options, and there will be more options based on
people getting hurt, you know, snap, crackle, pop and all that,
which will happen between now and the end of the season.
(11:52):
But it's rather obvious that he will not be going
back Rogers to the team that wears green in New Jersey.
That is not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Benmelor Show

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Way, tire Buying, shure.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
B and I know og og Art Puffin big fan
of ten thousand likes that number ten thousand. So I
lead this hour the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate
pro bouncy ball monologue from the Delaware Valley. This is
such a good story. I was like, I was trying
(13:25):
to find someone else. I was like, well, as I
was perusing the Sporting News and what.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Caught my attention like this just stood out.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I was, I know, it's I realize it's November and
the ratings are tanking in the NBA. The product's not
very good. I get all that. I understand it. I
know you're upset with me. But if there is a
volcano bubbling up in the sports world, I fly my
copter right into the volcano.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I like the lava. I enjoyed the molten lava as
what I enjoy.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So, if you've not been following along, and perhaps not,
the Philadelphia basketball team has lost eleven of the thirteen
games they had played to start the season. Now, I
did not play in the NBN. I just do the
overnight show here, so what do I know.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But where I come from the old country, that is embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
If you lose eleven of your first thirteen games and
you were possibly trying to win, you've done something terribly wrong.
You've done something horribly wrong. And that includes the other
night in Miami. Miami and Miami they had that South
Beach flu. I used to fight Eddie about that. He
was wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
By the way I point that out. The South Beach
flu is real.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So it's quite possible that Sixers went out enjoyed the
night life there at the fount Home Blue and the
other great locations in South Florida. Maybe they were out
partying with weed Man hippie and they lost, and that
inspired a player's only meeting before December one, A player's
only meeting my favorite. So we are told from those
(15:04):
who have their ear to the ground that injured star
Tyrese Maxi called out the face of the Sixer franchise
to his face, Joel Ebad. Now corner story. As we
are told, Tyrese Maxey ripped Joel Embiid to his face
(15:25):
for being a bad example. The supposed leader of the Sixers.
Maxie is a good relationship with Embiid. He called out
his buddy there for regularly being late to practice and
to other team functions, and he pointed out to Embiid
that he better get his ass together there and set
(15:47):
a better example as a supposed leader day in day out.
And he pointed out that timeliness somewhat important. Timeliness is
something important. So let us discuss the question for the
esteem panel. This is a former MVP. They haven't added
(16:07):
the MVP this year, so who knows who win it
this year? It's not gonna be him, but a former
MVP in pro basketball, Joel Enbid publicly called out for
his lack of punctuality with the seventy six ers, give
me your reaction. So I've got middle ages, mayberry, and honeydew,
(16:30):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make you a wholk mediac is
what we're gonna make you. So, num Burn, how's the
process working out for you in Philly?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
How's that process? So?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I have determined after a minutes long mallor investigation, the
reason we are talking about this story and the reason
the Sixers made sure this story got out it was strategic.
You know how I feel about closed door meetings. Players
only meetings. If you've heard this show at all over
the years.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Has been here a while now. They are done for
the cameras.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
They're done for dopes like me that have microphones, they
are done for optics. Players only meetings are held to
give the illusion that you care, to give the appearance
that you're really trying to do something and change things around,
(17:30):
whether that's spoken or not, and you never hear ever
like the Cleveland caval.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I give you an example. We'll talk about them more a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Cavaliers got off to a fifteen zero start. They lost
to the Celtics on Tuesday night. Did you hear anyone
say we had a player's only meeting on the calves
because we want everything's going well, but we just wanted
to have a player's only meeting. No, there's no need
to meet, right, Tyrese Maxi and Joel Embiid could have
easily had a one on one private conversation. They could
(17:58):
have had it at dinner at some find restaurant when
they're out in the road. They could have had it
back in Philadelphia. But instead, if you believe the reporting,
they had this conversation in front of the entire team.
Not only that, but wait there's more. As every great
infomercial late night infomercial says, someone then conveniently leaks the
(18:18):
story to Sham's Sharania to broadcast to the world.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
It's a classic move.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's happened many times in my career behind these microphones,
and it actually goes back to the Middle Ages.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
It goes back to the Middle Ages.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's public shaming, stalks, it is it's degrading Embiid. You
are airing dirty laundry outside because you want this to
publicly embarrass and because you know Embiid is someone that
consumes a lot of media. He's someone that is out
there with what people are saying on social media for sure,
(18:55):
whether it's old school media, who knows. But you're putting
this out there and you're using it as a container
of caffeine. You're trying to wake up Joel Embiid from
the malaise that he finds himself in. And I'm not.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Sure about you. Maybe it's different for you. But I
was always told when I was younger that just showing up.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I hated school and one of my problems with school
as I didn't show up a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But once I figured that out, just show up.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Ninety percent of life is just showing up on time
at Punctuality is your friend, it's not your enemy, and
you'll often get the benefit of the doubt just by
showing up. Now, page two, here the streets in Philadelphia
are talking, and they're not spitting out cheese, steaks and
tasty cakes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
They say that there are.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
No internal discussions at this moment in time regarding the
future of a head coach, Nick Nurse or the president
of Basketball Ops Darryl Moury. So that's the reporting. So
those are the reports. They said Nick Nurse and Daryl
Moray are safe. The brain behind the worst team money
(20:02):
can buy in basketball with the seventy six ers.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Do you believe it? So that would be a no.
On this side of the microphone, I do not believe it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You are not in Maybury. You are not in Mayberry.
This is Dante's inferno, is what it is. Philadelphia is
a sports town that I hold in high self esteem,
highest team rather because listen the Philadelphia sports and I've
had some arguments people in Philadelphia, but I love the
passion right. It's very passionable place when it comes to sports.
(20:32):
They hold people accountable. They're not just gonna sit there
on their hands and you know, la la la la
la la la la la and accept a crap bag team.
They're not gonna do that. They did that for a
while with trust the process, and they lost a lot
of fans. Darryl Morey is never going to be criticized
(20:53):
in the media because he is beloved by basketball scribes.
He's the head nerve of the nerd revolution in the NBA.
Has that big nerd conference every year in Boston and
he's the keynote speaker more times than not. So Daryl
Moury is not going to be ripped by anybody who
covers the NBA because he feeds them NBA news on
(21:15):
a regular basis. But the foundation that Maury built, now
he inherited some of it, but he made the tactical
decisions here. It has built this giant palas on a
pile of quicksand the pillars of.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
The seventy six ers franchise are too.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Highly paid, aging, lazy, injury prone veterans. Does that make
any sense to anyone? You have podcast p Paul George
by George.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Who would rather be doing a podcast somewhere than playing.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's good to know that he just he continued on
his rich tradition of being a lazy player in Philadelphia
as he was with the Clippers. Then you have WELLNB
Now this season, let's take a look at Joel Embiid's
season so far. This season, he has announced to the
world that he is brittle. His body is falling apart,
(22:14):
and despite signing up to a contract to be a
professional athlete, his body is so broken down that he
cannot play back to back games. Imagine telling your boss,
I can't work back to back nights like if I
want to know my boss is here at Fox Sports trade,
and I said, Liz, and I did the show Monday,
and I did it Tuesday. It's now Wednesday. I need
(22:37):
a break. It's three nights in a row. It's a
lot of talking. They would look at me and they
would kick me in the nuts and that would be that.
But also, Joel Embiid not in shape, right, That's part
of the problem. He's not in shape. He also laid
hands on a Philadelphia sports columnist. He was suspended by
the NBA for that getting physical. Now he's been publicly
(22:58):
called out by a teammate.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Things are going Other than that, things are.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Going really well. Darryl Mori and coach Nick Nurse are
allowing Joe L and B to be coddled.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
They are supporting the pampering.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Of Joel Embiid. Is that a fact or not. I
believe it is a fact. And if this continues and
the team continues to stink out loud, the Turk will
pay a visit to the seventy six ers and one
or both either Daryl Moore most.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Likely Nick Nurse will be out and there will be a.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Sacrifice collateral damage as a result of this season. Now,
final point, as you know, I enjoy having on in
the background most nights, just in the background game or
two on flipping around. Every night's a ball night, every
night's of ball night. You get the game on, and
so I'm getting ready for the show and I have
(23:53):
game one. A big game on Tuesday was the Celtics
and the Cavaliers from Boston, so I had that game.
That game is the early game and then the late window.
I watched a little bit of the OKC San Antonio
game that bored me, and then I watched my Utah
Jazz lose to that other team in La the Ugly
(24:17):
brother there the Clips, I forget their name. So I
watched that. But in the Boston game, Jason Tatum had
a team high thirty three points.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Halfway to sixty six.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
As the Celtics led by as many as twenty one points.
Cleveland came back. They scratched and claude they got back
into the game, but in the end, the Celtics beat
the Cavs one twenty to one seventeen in a regular
season game, but was a little more important than most
regular season games because Cleveland got its first loss of
the season after a fifteen to oh start. And here's
(24:53):
the question. Now the fifteen and one now, So why
has and this is actually a question that was sent
in by one of our listeners in Ohio, Well, why
hasn't this Spider Mitchell perfect start been a bigger deal?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Why wasn't this a bigger deal?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Fifteen and oh one of the all time great starts
to an NBA season now fifteen and one, and one
of our listeners in Ohio, and I'm sure there's others
that feel this, Well, why wasn't this getting more more attention?
Why was this not getting more buzz, more of a
spotlight on it? And my answer to that, it's like honeydew,
it's the fruit is simply not in season in the NBA.
(25:33):
It's not Now the NBA season really doesn't begin un
till April. It used to be Christmas, but now it
really doesn't begin until April.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
The players aren't interested most of the time, they're not engaged.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And I will give Cleveland credit, they're taking these games seriously.
They're playing with some enthusiasm, some energy, some effort that
most teams do not present. Most teams do not present. However,
the Calves are lacking that they are and while Spider
Mitchell is A star. Donovan Mitchell is not an A
(26:06):
list star. I'm surprised he's still in Cleveland because everything
I had heard was he was trying to get out
of Cleveland and end up with one of the teams
in New York, the Nets or the Knickerbockers that would
peer the nets of the team now because the Knicks
are pretty loaded. But he is still in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
The team's playing very well.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
They remind me of a little bit better version of
Atlanta years ago.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Remember the Hawks. I forget how many years ago it was.
I think it was probably within I.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Want to say within the last certainly the last ten years,
but I forget exactly the year.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
But they had Al Horford.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
They had a bunch of B and C level players,
and they had a great record. And this is back
when Lebron was in Cleveland. They had a great record,
but you knew that it wasn't really sustainable and they
weren't likely going to win in the playoffs because they
didn't have enough A level players. They had a lot
of b's and a lot of c's, and sure enough,
that's what happened. One year, Like they had like four
(27:02):
or five All stars. The Atlanta Hawks, and they won
a bunch of games in the regular season, but you
knew it wasn't really gonna happen in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
And that's what I look at this Cleveland team and
I'm like, well, that's kind of same. It's kind of same.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Now, I will give him this. They did get the
attention of the Celtics. I know it's that that NBA
Company Cup or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I don't know, some w thing the NBA is desperately
trying to get.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
People to engage in. By the way, spoiler alert, it's
not working. But Boston painted a masterpiece. The one thing
that annoyed me I was watching on TNT and the
guy doing the game and he does a lot of
baseball games. He's like a Milwaukee broadcaster. I forget the
guy's name. He's very generic, very generic broadcaster guy. But
(27:46):
he was doing the game with stan Van Gunny and
he kept getting so amazed by the Celtics making three
point shots. And I'm the opposite, like, I'm amazed when
the Celtics make a two point shot. Like to me,
them knocking down a bunch of three point shots is
not not interesting. That's all they do. It is poper shot.
It is like me when I go out to the Arcade,
(28:08):
right when I go out to David Busters on the
weekend and I'm playing the paper shot. That is what
the Celtics do, and it's it's just I used to
love three point shots. The NBA has made me dislike
three point shots because that's all they do. It used
to be rare and appropriate. Now it's rare and appropriate
to not shoot a three point shot. And the ratings
continue to show that the public is not interested in
(28:32):
what they're throwing out there, and not only so much
the way they're playing. It's the lack of interest, lack
of effort by many of the star players. The NBA
ratings continue to do the downward dog dog Dog, Dog
dog Dog. They are down twenty eight percent. NBA ratings
have gone in the tank, down twenty eight percent.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Hey, it's not my job. I don't work for the
NBA at somebody else's.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
And they're claiming it's all because of pirrating, it's all
because of this, that and the other thing.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Well, okay, but that's not good. That's a bit of
a problem, I would.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Think, But what do I know.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
It's Maller.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Grilled and we bring in the Coop dal loop.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
So then, as you mentioned, the seventy six Ers fell
to two and eleven on Monday with a loss to
the Heat. Now, as you say, the NBA season doesn't
really start until Christmas, But is the seventy six or
season already beyond saving?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
No? God, no, not. At that point they're nine games
under five hundred, which I would say is not ideal,
that's not what you're looking for. But the Eastern Conference,
there's a lot of crap bag teams in the Eastern Conference.
So as long as you get in that bu Gaysey
playing thing, you're fine. And if you if you look
(30:00):
at it that way, the Sixers, I believe, were three
games out of a play in spot. So here for
only three games out, that's that's nothing. Of a bigger
concern is Joel Embiid just doesn't seem all that engaged.
Did Paul George is Malcolm you know, he's got his
own issues. So it's a mess.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Next the twenty twenty five ballot for the Baseball Hall
of Fame was released on Monday, and there are fourteen
first time candidates. Ben, which of those do you think
will make it on their first try?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, so the obvious one here is each Row and
anything else other than that.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
That's the one.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
When I watched him play, I said, that's a Hall
of Famer. Each Row's a Hall of Famer. Sabbathi is
likely going to get in also as well. But I
would of the name like Curtis Granderson, Guys like that,
the one Adam Jones, Hailey Ramirez.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
These are like good players.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
But the one that was a great player that I
knew right away when you're watching him as a Hall
of Famer was Each Row.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Next on Sunday, Matthew Stafford moved into tenth all time
on the NFL's career asking touchdown list. Realistically can pass
Matt Ryan for number nine this season. How high up
a list do you think he can go before he
calls it quits.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Well, I'm surprised he's still playing, Coop. I thought he
was gonna stop playing a couple of years ago. So
you look at his age, he's made a lot of money.
Likely his last year with the Rams. This year he's
thirty six years old, so I'll give him another year
or two, not much. How do we do?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Cokee?

Speaker 7 (33:33):
Well, that depends what car do you drive.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
I need to know the details because if you have
a really nice car, women might judge you, but like
in a good way. I have been with people like
dated wise who do not have nice cars. Like, it's
not always a thing. There's other things you can spend
your money on, like if you have a nice place
over a nice car. I think a lot of girls
prefer that, because what are you gonna do make love
to her in your car every day?

grandma made the best homemade tortillas and best pinto beans.
But I have none of her recipes because when I
was younger, I really didn't care.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
It's unfortunate. Yes, Chris, who's a big fan of show,
I met him in Kansas City again and he he's
a chef back in his day, and he he said
that Roberto's recipes like we're legitimately good. Christopher writes, and
he says, as a blind lover who has been married
for thirty five years, I need to know how to
spice things up in the bedroom to satisfy my sighted wife.
Speaker 8 (34:58):

appeasing stuff.
Speaker 7 (35:04):
Maybe give her a strip tease.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
