This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, it turns out reports of the Ravens demise have
been greatly exaggerated. Welcome in not beginning of another night
of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air
mreware using audio frequency as we are your savings Superhero Coast,

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Ract dot Com, the Way Tire Buying.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Showb So our lead this hour, play the head, small man,
play the It's one of our old bosses back in
the day. I like to tell you that play the hits.
Don't bury the lead, my man art. We're not gonna
bear the lead. So the curtain went up on week.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Number nine, now week nine. Look at that. We even
our number nine drop.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So week nine in the NFL schedule, you had Lamar
Jackson who actually was going to play this week as
opposed to last week when he did psych I'm not
playing the conspiracy theory that Lamar tapped out at the
last minute even though he had been medically cleared to
played and want to play two games in five days. Well,
he did want to play in Miami or the Miami Era,
and not actually Miami proper. But Lamar leading the Baltimore
(02:38):
buses the bus brigade into South Florida. So if you
saw this game was on Amazon Prime, so I know
some of our older listeners don't know how.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
To get on him. It was that thing of a
jig on the Amazon that's streaming is that I don't
understand what that is.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Anyway, we watched, so you would not have to and
lamar Jackson action Jackson. No, he only had two hundred
and four yards passing, which is and all that sexy.
That's not that great. However, not one, not two, not three,
but four four touchdowns. I'm told that's good and so
much for the speculation that he was gonna come out
(03:12):
be rusty. You know, the first half was not was
not great. Game statistically was being won by the Dolphins,
even though the Ravens had the lead at halftime. The
Dolphins won the statuet, but in the second half it
was turnout. That's the parties over for Miami. As the
Ravens what they did is they gutted the Dolphins. They
(03:33):
gutted them and then they chopped them up in a
little bite sized pieces like sushi. Twenty eight to six.
The final on Thursday, and if you did watch Benny
versus the Penny the other day, the Thursday preview.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
We did get that one right. Baltimore three and five.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Now they win their second straight game, and mathematically they
are very much in the middle of it in the
AFC North, which is wide open, wide.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Open right now.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Now, as per the norm, tight end Mark Andrews the
safety blanket for Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He got it done.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
There a couple of touchdown catches. Dereck Henry did not
fumble one hundred nineteen yards on nineteen carries. Al Michael's
very excited when he crossed the rubicon on one hundred
yards on the broadcast. Now that said, you know, because
you listen on the regular on the down low here,
you understand that the story from that game is not
(04:30):
the Baltimore Ravens success. The story here is on the
Miami side. The better stories in the losing the locker
room where the Dolphins drowned and to a tongue of
by loa stumbled and bumbled. Miami now two and seven
to and the Dolphins turned the ball over three times.
There was a too interception and a couple of fumbles
(04:51):
there in Miami. On third down they went one of twelve.
Why are you're being so mean?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Either?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Seventeen percent doesn't seem very good to me. You know,
the Ravens had one of the worst defenses in the
NFL early in the year. They got some guys back,
and still that's a pathetic offensive football by the Miami Dolphins.
Considering the selling point was you had the hot shot,
genius coach and you had the guy that was going
to figure things out too and all that. Well, that
is a good jumping off point. So let us discuss
(05:20):
the question after the blowout loss to the Ravens how
much stock? How much stock are you buying? And how
much how's the stock looking? A This is a better
way to how's the stock looking for the Dolphins? And
we're gonna focus in on the dynamic duo of the
coach and the quarterback. There's all kinds of rumors flying
(05:40):
in the overnight that there's gonna be some major changes
in Miami. The trade deadline is next week and we'll
get into it right now. My thoughts on this, I've
got Tupperware, Ricky Martin, and Sesame Street, that's right, and
we will combine all of.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
These things together and we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
A pumpkin, which we're going to carve up, kind of
like the Ravens carved up the Dolphins in the second half.
So a the duo, and oh what a duo it is,
my god.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Oh yeah, YoY uh to a tiny by law, to
a tiny by law.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And Mike McDaniel the coach. There, these same two geniuses
who we were told when they were put together, here
we're gonna revolutionize offensive football with nothing but great offensive
motion and.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Really good locker room vibes, really good.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And they went out there in an island game. That's right,
it was an island game, and they got pants pants
by the Ravens in the second half, man handled in Miami.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
The headline there, Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Ever the fashionist, I thought this was the perfect way
to dress if you didn't see the game, or if
you're blind like Stevie meet Paul's. Mike McDaniel look like,
and I'm not making this up here, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
We're just gonna say whatever you gonna sue is be
a hiberbal lee. You're just trying to get ratings.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, Mike McDaniel looked like he had escaped from the
Dade County lockup.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
We'll have to check with our Dade.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
County expert there, Billy aka weed Man Hippy, to see
if that's the case.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
But Mike McDaniel didn't. To me, he looked like he
had just gotten out of jail.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
He had the gray sweatpants, he had the gray hoodie,
and it looked like they were like skinny sweatpants. I've
never seen those before. I have skinny jeans. They look
at these skinny sweatpants. Anyway, there you right out of
prison issue, you know, that was what he was wearing
their dolphin logo. Though he did have the dolphin logo,
so prison issue clothing, which is fitting because this team
(07:37):
gives you the feeling that they're they're serving hard time.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Welcome to the Who's Goal.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And McDaniel loves to talk about controlling the controller burs.
It's one of his fallback cliches, control the controller Bulls,
which is I his effort, attitude, focus, don't pull up
Plaxago Burris and shoot yourself in the foot. All well,
all those appeared to be lacking as the game went on.
(08:04):
And maybe it was just my TV and they looked
great on your TV. But I saw them looking sloppy,
and as we love to say, my favorite entre came
from the late great Mike Leech, my favorite all time
college football coach, Mike Leach, who said, you're either coaching
it or you're allowing it to happen. And the law
firm of Tua and McDaniel specializing in a combo dish.
(08:26):
You've got turnovers on one side of the plate and
you have on the other side, you've got blown opportunities.
Now in terms of the stock, which is how we
phrase this and how we set this up. You know,
how's the stock looking for the dolphins dynamic do how
much of the stock would you buy? Well, the stock
is a penny stock. We're not talking about Apple or Amazon.
(08:46):
More like Toys r us go and invest in Toys
r us or the ninety nine cents stores or Red Lobster. Right,
you're investing in Tupperware at this point, and it's leading
one direction. We are headed down the path, the guard
path of Chapter eleven bankruptcy.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
This thing's going to be dissolved.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Here, this combination and all the warning signs are flashing
and there's alarm bells going on. Woooooo, just like you
can you can almost hear them woooo.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
That's how they sound.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And so if you look at it in the wide
angle lens, it's if you're of a certain age, it
is fascinating to see the Dolphins who are on that
big board, not a list, not a list terryating, but
a big board of teams from your youth that used
to dominate. And now you tell someone who's young, a
(09:40):
younger person to say, well, you know, the Dolphins used
to be good every year, and you know the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Used to be good every who are you?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You're a boomer? You know what I'm telling you. I
think I remember living it. Maybe it was just a dream.
But if you look at the wide angle lens, since
Don Schuler retired, now I realize it's been thirty years,
the Dolphins have had nine coaches. Of them, number ten
is already warming up in the bullpen right now for
Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
That includes interim coaches. Since Dan Marino.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Left and what was that ninety nine, two thousand something
like that lived ninety nine. Since Dan Marino left, the
Dolphins have had how many quarterbacks? Twenty five quarterbacks? A
parade of horribles. I know you should not be mean
to cleiole lemon. I love the name Cleole lemon I do.
It's a dessert. Actually in Fort Lauderdale, Jay Fiedler, remember
(10:27):
Ray Lucas did a tour of duty there. Ryan Tannehill
up more recently had Teddy Bridgewater. And there you go, now,
Tua and Tua taking a page out of our old
boardop Roberto's playbook. There he's driving the struggle bus right
off I ninety five, boom into Biscayne Bay, boom.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So the doomsday.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Clock it's ticking. Tua is sprinting towards the transfer portal.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, they don't have a transfer portal in the NFL,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And you you can see all along the sidelines the
telltale signs of a collapse.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Having done this job more than one time, we've seen it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It's the usual patterns where guys are slumped over. There's
that blank stare on the sidelines, the occasional helmet slam,
the coach yelling at the players, there's isolation by certain players.
All that stuff. Players running the wrong roots or routes,
sloppy tackling, check check check check check, no buy in.
(11:31):
So it is oh v e r over the whole
house of cards and their teal cards coming tumbling down, down, down, down,
down down down down down down down down down. Now
it is time for Miami to go back to where
the kissing booth. They gotta go back to the kissing
Why would they go to the kissing But what are
you crazy? Because I learned this it was in I
(11:54):
think it was in a Disney movie. You got to
keep smooching frogs until you find your prints. In this case,
find a coach who knows what he's doing, in a
quarterback that knows what he's doing, and the prince, of course,
might be holding a clipboard and a headset. Now it's
not all bad news because I am very confident that
Mike McDaniel, once he gets out of his prison Garb
can go read the New York Times on an NPR
morning show somewhere and bore people that listen to that crap.
(12:16):
And Tua he'll be giving sermons somewhere about trusting the process.
Of course, the process is broken. And if you know
how Tua gives a speech, Mike got more on that later.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Now turning the page.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So one of the other storylines here was the reaction
of the fan. The stadium emptied out. It looked like
a Dodger game. In the seventh inning, they were heading
to the parking lot. And Al Michael's had a good
line on the Amazon broadcasts as normally people lead the
stadium early to beat the traffic, but if you leave
the stadium early in Florida there in the South Florida area,
(12:50):
you're actually gonna go into the.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Traffic because everyone was leaving.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And the question is a group of Dolphin fans were
wearing paper bags in shame, paper bags and shame. They
were three of them lined up there and then they
were I'm sure more than that, but any advice to
the long suffering South Florida football fan who supports.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
The Miami Dolphins. So I think we can market this.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I think I think this is a marketing opportunity and
if you want to go into it with me, and
that's my idea, we can make some T shirts and
put like three or four jire Bronis in paper bags
and then we're not going to get the NFL trademark.
They're not going to allow us to use the trademarks,
so we'll just put them in teal Bright teal with
(13:36):
like orange outline jerseys, but that's not breaking the copyright.
And then the slogan's gonna say South Beach Bag Brigade.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And the nineteen eighty nineteen eighty New Orleans Saints a
tribute and I heard Al Michaels mentioned this. What al
Michael's left out though, is one of the reasons that
the Saints fans turned to the paper bag. At that time,
there was a show called The Gong Show that was
very popular in America pop culture before the Internet in
the early eighties, late seventies, and one of the big
(14:07):
stars on The Gong Show was a comedian known as
the Unknown Comic, and his whole stick was he wore
a paper bag on his head. So the Saints fans
really just copied the Unknown Comic and then that became
a thing. And I saw one guy they showed even
turned a popcorn bucket into.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
A mask of shame. A mask of shame. You can't
make it up.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
It was the tropical version of a football funeral played
out on the Amazon. And they've gone from back in
the old days it was Miami Vice when they had
Dan Marino and all that. Now it's Miami embarrassed with
Tua and the fans, and these people are sunburned, defeated,
and yet paying premium prices to get kicked in the
(14:48):
face and the balls on a weekly basis. Now the
Mallord advice here, and it's rather simple. I would advise
the Miami fans to go get a nice jet ski.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You might have to rent one if you don't know one.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Throw on the old banana hammock and knock down some
of my ties and just enjoy yourself, because that's the
only way you're surviving the misery. And spoiler alert, if
you keep buying tickets for this garbage, you keep buying tickets,
You're part of the problem. You're not the solution. You
are the big dummy in South Florida. These Mama lukes
(15:24):
who run these NFL teams, they do not care. And
it's really all of professional sports. I've learned my jaded
ways over the years, but I've seen how they make
the sausage, and I'm telling you, they know that you're hooked.
The people that run these teams do not care if
you're not entertained. They just want to reach into your wallet.
(15:48):
And they know that if you're engaged, you're gonna watch,
and the Dolphins are undercover like the Jets and the Browns.
They just have better ways, right the Dolphins. If you
look at the last thirty years, the Dolphins are side
by side. If you look at the Van Diagram, they're
right there with the Jets and the Browns. They just
(16:09):
have better weather and they wear more suntann lotion like
the Leprechaun. But you do realize, I mean maybe you
don't that it's been almost twenty five years December of
two thousand since the football team in Miami won a
playoff game. That's a generation plus for the Dolphins. They
haven't won a playoff game. Dan Marino was still limping around,
(16:33):
you had Y two K, the Y two K bug
was fresh, and Ricky Martin was topping the charts. The
last time the Dolphins were the Kings. When even the
Kings they just won a playoff game. It's been even
longer since they won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
My god. So we say it calls for the Miami
fans to give the old a bomb, not an a
rod an a.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Bomb aka apathy with a capital a detach dis in
game age. Do not post on social media about it.
Don't rant about it, just stop caring because the person
and this is important lesson in life if you haven't
learned yet, the person who cares less has the power.
The person that doesn't care controls the room. You tank
(17:16):
the TV ratings, you dry up the merch, you send
a message, right, And this has happened the Dodgers, who
are they're gonna blow the World Series this year? But
they've been great every year. They're a playoff team and
they find ways to f this up most of the time.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
But the Dodger.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Fans boycotted the team, and major League Baseball stepped in
and said, okay, we got to get rid of this owner.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
And they did.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
They bought a new owner in and they gave. Of course,
they made the mistake of even the old owner of
the parking lots. But that's it. So I'm telling you,
if the being counters in Miami, if they see a
bunch of red and the Dolphins are in the red there,
the winds of change will be howling. They will all
right now, last word on the Baltimore side, quickly, all right,
on the Baltimore side. So Lamar Jackson had not one,
(18:00):
not two, not three but four touchdown passes. As we said,
he averaged almost nine yards almost nine yards of pass.
I think the Dolphins were trying to play defense. It
didn't look like it. As that was his homecoming, we're
told a large contingent of the Lamar Jackson marching and
chaud of societies. You might imagine we're there, and Lamar
did not disappoint. It was a close game for a half.
(18:22):
As we said, the Ravens then turned on the after
burners and up, up and away, up, up and away.
All right, Now, question, have Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
figured something out? Have they figured out something? That's the question.
So I'm nodding my head.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
If you're watching on the YouTube channel, and we have
two of them at Ben Mahlers Show and also at
Benny Vspenny that is up by the way. Now, if
you want to watch the week nine, don't do it
now because I'm doing the show, but later on. But
in terms of the question, have Lamar Jackson and the
Ravens figured out something?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I am nodding my head. Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Look, no style points. You know I'm a no style
points kind of guy. You don't get style points for
beating a team you were supposed to beat. You were
big road favorites. So I'm not gonna sit here and say, wow, bravo,
what a win. They did what adults do. They handled
their business. They didn't dominate the stat sheet. They just
dominated the scoreboard. It wasn't about the fantasy numbers, even
(19:20):
though Lamar had four touchdowns. It was about stacking wins
like hotcakes. Lamar looked smooth, smooth as silk. In the
second half. You could feel that the Ravens were in
total control of the game in the second half.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
And they weren't panicking.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Even at halftime they had a small lead, and they
really weren't playing all that well.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
In the second half.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
They just dissected the Dolphins one drive at a time, surgical,
and it is about time. Baltimore season has been straight
out of Dumb and Dumber. They drove halfway across the
NFL schedule in the wrong direction, but now they figured out.
They futched around with their GPS, they recalibrated their GPS
and they're digging.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Out of the hole three and five.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
But the schedule ahead is all delicious dessert. It's Vikings, Browns, Jets, Bengals.
It's the hostess lineup. They've got cupcakes to the right,
ding Dongs to the left, zingers over there, and fruit
pies everywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
And for Lamar Jackson, this is.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Turning into a PBS classic, a Sesame Street type of
football situation, as sunny days are sweeping the clouds away
for the Ravens and they are on their way to
the penthouse in the division and they're figuring out how
to get how to get to the very top of
(20:39):
the standings at the Mountain Peak, which I didn't know
the AFC North was in Sesame Street land, but apparently so.
If Lamar keeps playing like this and the defense has
figured some stuff out, I'm not sure about that. The
Dolphins just kind of packed it in the second half,
but any combination of those things happened. Baltimore is back
(21:00):
and they're in business there. They just need to keep it,
keep it simple, and just beat who you're supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It is the Ben Mallard Show. If you would like
to be.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We are
here all night throughout the overnight. That's eight seven seven
nine nine six six three sixty nine. Also coming up,
a little bit later this hour we'll have the who
am I?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Game? We look forward to that and you can play
along with all of the bits as we go through.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
At every hour there's something you might like it, you
might not, But there's something every hour. Next hour we've
got Mallard of the third degree, we'll have the Mallard
Riddle of the Day, the Malat Riddle a day, and
lame jokes an hour three and I'm pretty sure we're
not gonna have the Coop Scoop.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Maybe we'll have cheese with breeze.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
We'll do something like that, but we could do that
who knows a reason for Coop? And then Sports Jeopardy
we'll have that as well. So anyway, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox is the number you want to
hit me up on X at Ben Mallard, we do
read a lot of comments on the air.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Will be a warned and they're open to interpretation.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I know Justin and Cincinnati gets a stick up as
keyster when I point that out, but really, when you
post something on social media, it's like a piece.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Of fine art.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And as we know, when you go to the Louver
or any other art museum, it's open to interpretation, and
so I interpret what I believe you meant to say.
Because many of you don't know how to spell. You
didn't graduate from the third grade, so I have.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
To clean up your spell literate. Yeah, I mean there's
a little bit of that.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I mean, I'm not the greatest either, but I became
a much better speller when I figured out spell check.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
All right, straight ahead, call him mister motivation. That's right,
call him mister motivation. We'll get to that and we will.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Do it next.

Dad to the third degree.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
This is one big event gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And now a woman who made a very poor decision
as a child and became a Saints fan.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Our friend, Breeze, that was such a disc that's so good.
What's so true.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
I have my I'm my Bloomingdale's trash back now I've
moved up. I'm not Trader Joe's anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I have a Bloomingdale's trash, you know, for my aides.
So that's exciting. Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
I'm ed Ordron revealed on Wednesday, Ben he would love
to return to LSU as the head coach. What's the
chances of that happening?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
You think I'll give Ed?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh? I want to give him a ten percent chance.
And the only reason I'm going ten percent is he
has to have some boosters. The way these guys get
the jobs, you got to suck up to the billionaire
boosters billionaire boys club, and if you get one of
those guys to sign off and support you, you can
get the job. But he failed at the end. He
did win with Drew Brees or with Chief gree with
(24:20):
Joe Burrow and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Next.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Okay, so we're about four days away from the NFL
trade deadline. You've talked about a number of trade rumors,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Of teams have denied.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Which team do you think is going to be most
active at the deadline?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, the Giants should trade Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I'd like to see Jameis.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Winston go somewhere and play. I like watching him play,
So that would be one. In the Cleveland Browns, Miles
Garrett doesn't want to be there, you can get a
lot for him.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
We're gonna talk about.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That more later, but I think that would be the
obvious one. Also next, all righty.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
The seventy six ers are four and oh so far,
and people are thinking that they are legit contenders, and
for once it isn't. Because of Joelle Embiid. The evolution
of Tyrese Maxi has people looking at Philly a little
bit different. Ben, do you think he's think a game changer?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
He's off to a good start. It's we're not even
at November first yet.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I've been trying to watch some of these NBA games.
I'm not quite there yet. I'm not buying the Sixers.
When the dust settles, East is wide open. But I'm
not buying that they're going to be there at the end,
mainly because Joel Embiid is still on that team and
he's dead weight.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
How did we do? Plus Ben Good?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Unlike the Saints, I passed a Happy Halloween. This has
to be the top Halloween song, right. I can't think
of anything that tops the months Tomash Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (25:41):

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Showb So our lead this hour, play the head, small man,
play the It's one of our old bosses back in
the day. I like to tell you that play the hits.
Don't bury the lead, my man art. We're not gonna
bear the lead. So the curtain went up on week.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Number nine, now week nine. Look at that. We even
our number nine drop.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So week nine in the NFL schedule, you had Lamar
Jackson who actually was going to play this week as
opposed to last week when he did psych I'm not
playing the conspiracy theory that Lamar tapped out at the
last minute even though he had been medically cleared to
played and want to play two games in five days. Well,
he did want to play in Miami or the Miami Era,
and not actually Miami proper. But Lamar leading the Baltimore
(02:38):
buses the bus brigade into South Florida. So if you
saw this game was on Amazon Prime, so I know
some of our older listeners don't know how.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
To get on him. It was that thing of a
jig on the Amazon that's streaming is that I don't
understand what that is.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Anyway, we watched, so you would not have to and
lamar Jackson action Jackson. No, he only had two hundred
and four yards passing, which is and all that sexy.
That's not that great. However, not one, not two, not three,
but four four touchdowns. I'm told that's good and so
much for the speculation that he was gonna come out
(03:12):
be rusty. You know, the first half was not was
not great. Game statistically was being won by the Dolphins,
even though the Ravens had the lead at halftime. The
Dolphins won the statuet, but in the second half it
was turnout. That's the parties over for Miami. As the
Ravens what they did is they gutted the Dolphins. They
(03:33):
gutted them and then they chopped them up in a
little bite sized pieces like sushi. Twenty eight to six.
The final on Thursday, and if you did watch Benny
versus the Penny the other day, the Thursday preview.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
We did get that one right. Baltimore three and five.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Now they win their second straight game, and mathematically they
are very much in the middle of it in the
AFC North, which is wide open, wide.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Open right now.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Now, as per the norm, tight end Mark Andrews the
safety blanket for Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He got it done.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
There a couple of touchdown catches. Dereck Henry did not
fumble one hundred nineteen yards on nineteen carries. Al Michael's
very excited when he crossed the rubicon on one hundred
yards on the broadcast. Now that said, you know, because
you listen on the regular on the down low here,
you understand that the story from that game is not
(04:30):
the Baltimore Ravens success. The story here is on the
Miami side. The better stories in the losing the locker
room where the Dolphins drowned and to a tongue of
by loa stumbled and bumbled. Miami now two and seven
to and the Dolphins turned the ball over three times.
There was a too interception and a couple of fumbles
(04:51):
there in Miami. On third down they went one of twelve.
Why are you're being so mean?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Either?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Seventeen percent doesn't seem very good to me. You know,
the Ravens had one of the worst defenses in the
NFL early in the year. They got some guys back,
and still that's a pathetic offensive football by the Miami Dolphins.
Considering the selling point was you had the hot shot,
genius coach and you had the guy that was going
to figure things out too and all that. Well, that
is a good jumping off point. So let us discuss
(05:20):
the question after the blowout loss to the Ravens how
much stock? How much stock are you buying? And how
much how's the stock looking? A This is a better
way to how's the stock looking for the Dolphins? And
we're gonna focus in on the dynamic duo of the
coach and the quarterback. There's all kinds of rumors flying
(05:40):
in the overnight that there's gonna be some major changes
in Miami. The trade deadline is next week and we'll
get into it right now. My thoughts on this, I've
got Tupperware, Ricky Martin, and Sesame Street, that's right, and
we will combine all of.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
These things together and we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
A pumpkin, which we're going to carve up, kind of
like the Ravens carved up the Dolphins in the second half.
So a the duo, and oh what a duo it is,
my god.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Oh yeah, YoY uh to a tiny by law, to
a tiny by law.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And Mike McDaniel the coach. There, these same two geniuses
who we were told when they were put together, here
we're gonna revolutionize offensive football with nothing but great offensive
motion and.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Really good locker room vibes, really good.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And they went out there in an island game. That's right,
it was an island game, and they got pants pants
by the Ravens in the second half, man handled in Miami.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
The headline there, Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Ever the fashionist, I thought this was the perfect way
to dress if you didn't see the game, or if
you're blind like Stevie meet Paul's. Mike McDaniel look like,
and I'm not making this up here, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
We're just gonna say whatever you gonna sue is be
a hiberbal lee. You're just trying to get ratings.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, Mike McDaniel looked like he had escaped from the
Dade County lockup.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
We'll have to check with our Dade.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
County expert there, Billy aka weed Man Hippy, to see
if that's the case.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
But Mike McDaniel didn't. To me, he looked like he
had just gotten out of jail.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
He had the gray sweatpants, he had the gray hoodie,
and it looked like they were like skinny sweatpants. I've
never seen those before. I have skinny jeans. They look
at these skinny sweatpants. Anyway, there you right out of
prison issue, you know, that was what he was wearing
their dolphin logo. Though he did have the dolphin logo,
so prison issue clothing, which is fitting because this team
(07:37):
gives you the feeling that they're they're serving hard time.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Welcome to the Who's Goal.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And McDaniel loves to talk about controlling the controller burs.
It's one of his fallback cliches, control the controller Bulls,
which is I his effort, attitude, focus, don't pull up
Plaxago Burris and shoot yourself in the foot. All well,
all those appeared to be lacking as the game went on.
(08:04):
And maybe it was just my TV and they looked
great on your TV. But I saw them looking sloppy,
and as we love to say, my favorite entre came
from the late great Mike Leech, my favorite all time
college football coach, Mike Leach, who said, you're either coaching
it or you're allowing it to happen. And the law
firm of Tua and McDaniel specializing in a combo dish.
(08:26):
You've got turnovers on one side of the plate and
you have on the other side, you've got blown opportunities.
Now in terms of the stock, which is how we
phrase this and how we set this up. You know,
how's the stock looking for the dolphins dynamic do how
much of the stock would you buy? Well, the stock
is a penny stock. We're not talking about Apple or Amazon.
(08:46):
More like Toys r us go and invest in Toys
r us or the ninety nine cents stores or Red Lobster. Right,
you're investing in Tupperware at this point, and it's leading
one direction. We are headed down the path, the guard
path of Chapter eleven bankruptcy.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
This thing's going to be dissolved.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Here, this combination and all the warning signs are flashing
and there's alarm bells going on. Woooooo, just like you
can you can almost hear them woooo.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
That's how they sound.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And so if you look at it in the wide
angle lens, it's if you're of a certain age, it
is fascinating to see the Dolphins who are on that
big board, not a list, not a list terryating, but
a big board of teams from your youth that used
to dominate. And now you tell someone who's young, a
(09:40):
younger person to say, well, you know, the Dolphins used
to be good every year, and you know the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Used to be good every who are you?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You're a boomer? You know what I'm telling you. I
think I remember living it. Maybe it was just a dream.
But if you look at the wide angle lens, since
Don Schuler retired, now I realize it's been thirty years,
the Dolphins have had nine coaches. Of them, number ten
is already warming up in the bullpen right now for
Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
That includes interim coaches. Since Dan Marino.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Left and what was that ninety nine, two thousand something
like that lived ninety nine. Since Dan Marino left, the
Dolphins have had how many quarterbacks? Twenty five quarterbacks? A
parade of horribles. I know you should not be mean
to cleiole lemon. I love the name Cleole lemon I do.
It's a dessert. Actually in Fort Lauderdale, Jay Fiedler, remember
(10:27):
Ray Lucas did a tour of duty there. Ryan Tannehill
up more recently had Teddy Bridgewater. And there you go, now,
Tua and Tua taking a page out of our old
boardop Roberto's playbook. There he's driving the struggle bus right
off I ninety five, boom into Biscayne Bay, boom.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So the doomsday.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Clock it's ticking. Tua is sprinting towards the transfer portal.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, they don't have a transfer portal in the NFL,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And you you can see all along the sidelines the
telltale signs of a collapse.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Having done this job more than one time, we've seen it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It's the usual patterns where guys are slumped over. There's
that blank stare on the sidelines, the occasional helmet slam,
the coach yelling at the players, there's isolation by certain players.
All that stuff. Players running the wrong roots or routes,
sloppy tackling, check check check check check, no buy in.
(11:31):
So it is oh v e r over the whole
house of cards and their teal cards coming tumbling down, down, down, down,
down down down down down down down down down. Now
it is time for Miami to go back to where
the kissing booth. They gotta go back to the kissing
Why would they go to the kissing But what are
you crazy? Because I learned this it was in I
(11:54):
think it was in a Disney movie. You got to
keep smooching frogs until you find your prints. In this case,
find a coach who knows what he's doing, in a
quarterback that knows what he's doing, and the prince, of course,
might be holding a clipboard and a headset. Now it's
not all bad news because I am very confident that
Mike McDaniel, once he gets out of his prison Garb
can go read the New York Times on an NPR
morning show somewhere and bore people that listen to that crap.
(12:16):
And Tua he'll be giving sermons somewhere about trusting the process.
Of course, the process is broken. And if you know
how Tua gives a speech, Mike got more on that later.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Now turning the page.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So one of the other storylines here was the reaction
of the fan. The stadium emptied out. It looked like
a Dodger game. In the seventh inning, they were heading
to the parking lot. And Al Michael's had a good
line on the Amazon broadcasts as normally people lead the
stadium early to beat the traffic, but if you leave
the stadium early in Florida there in the South Florida area,
(12:50):
you're actually gonna go into the.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Traffic because everyone was leaving.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
And the question is a group of Dolphin fans were
wearing paper bags in shame, paper bags and shame. They
were three of them lined up there and then they
were I'm sure more than that, but any advice to
the long suffering South Florida football fan who supports.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
The Miami Dolphins. So I think we can market this.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I think I think this is a marketing opportunity and
if you want to go into it with me, and
that's my idea, we can make some T shirts and
put like three or four jire Bronis in paper bags
and then we're not going to get the NFL trademark.
They're not going to allow us to use the trademarks,
so we'll just put them in teal Bright teal with
(13:36):
like orange outline jerseys, but that's not breaking the copyright.
And then the slogan's gonna say South Beach Bag Brigade.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And the nineteen eighty nineteen eighty New Orleans Saints a
tribute and I heard Al Michaels mentioned this. What al
Michael's left out though, is one of the reasons that
the Saints fans turned to the paper bag. At that time,
there was a show called The Gong Show that was
very popular in America pop culture before the Internet in
the early eighties, late seventies, and one of the big
(14:07):
stars on The Gong Show was a comedian known as
the Unknown Comic, and his whole stick was he wore
a paper bag on his head. So the Saints fans
really just copied the Unknown Comic and then that became
a thing. And I saw one guy they showed even
turned a popcorn bucket into.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
A mask of shame. A mask of shame. You can't
make it up.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
It was the tropical version of a football funeral played
out on the Amazon. And they've gone from back in
the old days it was Miami Vice when they had
Dan Marino and all that. Now it's Miami embarrassed with
Tua and the fans, and these people are sunburned, defeated,
and yet paying premium prices to get kicked in the
(14:48):
face and the balls on a weekly basis. Now the
Mallord advice here, and it's rather simple. I would advise
the Miami fans to go get a nice jet ski.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You might have to rent one if you don't know one.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Throw on the old banana hammock and knock down some
of my ties and just enjoy yourself, because that's the
only way you're surviving the misery. And spoiler alert, if
you keep buying tickets for this garbage, you keep buying tickets,
You're part of the problem. You're not the solution. You
are the big dummy in South Florida. These Mama lukes
(15:24):
who run these NFL teams, they do not care. And
it's really all of professional sports. I've learned my jaded
ways over the years, but I've seen how they make
the sausage, and I'm telling you, they know that you're hooked.
The people that run these teams do not care if
you're not entertained. They just want to reach into your wallet.
(15:48):
And they know that if you're engaged, you're gonna watch,
and the Dolphins are undercover like the Jets and the Browns.
They just have better ways, right the Dolphins. If you
look at the last thirty years, the Dolphins are side
by side. If you look at the Van Diagram, they're
right there with the Jets and the Browns. They just
(16:09):
have better weather and they wear more suntann lotion like
the Leprechaun. But you do realize, I mean maybe you
don't that it's been almost twenty five years December of
two thousand since the football team in Miami won a
playoff game. That's a generation plus for the Dolphins. They
haven't won a playoff game. Dan Marino was still limping around,
(16:33):
you had Y two K, the Y two K bug
was fresh, and Ricky Martin was topping the charts. The
last time the Dolphins were the Kings. When even the
Kings they just won a playoff game. It's been even
longer since they won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
My god. So we say it calls for the Miami
fans to give the old a bomb, not an a
rod an a.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Bomb aka apathy with a capital a detach dis in
game age. Do not post on social media about it.
Don't rant about it, just stop caring because the person
and this is important lesson in life if you haven't
learned yet, the person who cares less has the power.
The person that doesn't care controls the room. You tank
(17:16):
the TV ratings, you dry up the merch, you send
a message, right, And this has happened the Dodgers, who
are they're gonna blow the World Series this year? But
they've been great every year. They're a playoff team and
they find ways to f this up most of the time.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
But the Dodger.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Fans boycotted the team, and major League Baseball stepped in
and said, okay, we got to get rid of this owner.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
And they did.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
They bought a new owner in and they gave. Of course,
they made the mistake of even the old owner of
the parking lots. But that's it. So I'm telling you,
if the being counters in Miami, if they see a
bunch of red and the Dolphins are in the red there,
the winds of change will be howling. They will all
right now, last word on the Baltimore side, quickly, all right,
on the Baltimore side. So Lamar Jackson had not one,
(18:00):
not two, not three but four touchdown passes. As we said,
he averaged almost nine yards almost nine yards of pass.
I think the Dolphins were trying to play defense. It
didn't look like it. As that was his homecoming, we're
told a large contingent of the Lamar Jackson marching and
chaud of societies. You might imagine we're there, and Lamar
did not disappoint. It was a close game for a half.
(18:22):
As we said, the Ravens then turned on the after
burners and up, up and away, up, up and away.
All right, Now, question, have Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
figured something out? Have they figured out something? That's the question.
So I'm nodding my head.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
If you're watching on the YouTube channel, and we have
two of them at Ben Mahlers Show and also at
Benny Vspenny that is up by the way. Now, if
you want to watch the week nine, don't do it
now because I'm doing the show, but later on. But
in terms of the question, have Lamar Jackson and the
Ravens figured out something?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I am nodding my head. Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Look, no style points. You know I'm a no style
points kind of guy. You don't get style points for
beating a team you were supposed to beat. You were
big road favorites. So I'm not gonna sit here and say, wow, bravo,
what a win. They did what adults do. They handled
their business. They didn't dominate the stat sheet. They just
dominated the scoreboard. It wasn't about the fantasy numbers, even
(19:20):
though Lamar had four touchdowns. It was about stacking wins
like hotcakes. Lamar looked smooth, smooth as silk. In the
second half. You could feel that the Ravens were in
total control of the game in the second half.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
And they weren't panicking.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Even at halftime they had a small lead, and they
really weren't playing all that well.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
In the second half.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
They just dissected the Dolphins one drive at a time, surgical,
and it is about time. Baltimore season has been straight
out of Dumb and Dumber. They drove halfway across the
NFL schedule in the wrong direction, but now they figured out.
They futched around with their GPS, they recalibrated their GPS
and they're digging.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Out of the hole three and five.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
But the schedule ahead is all delicious dessert. It's Vikings, Browns, Jets, Bengals.
It's the hostess lineup. They've got cupcakes to the right,
ding Dongs to the left, zingers over there, and fruit
pies everywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
And for Lamar Jackson, this is.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Turning into a PBS classic, a Sesame Street type of
football situation, as sunny days are sweeping the clouds away
for the Ravens and they are on their way to
the penthouse in the division and they're figuring out how
to get how to get to the very top of
(20:39):
the standings at the Mountain Peak, which I didn't know
the AFC North was in Sesame Street land, but apparently so.
If Lamar keeps playing like this and the defense has
figured some stuff out, I'm not sure about that. The
Dolphins just kind of packed it in the second half,
but any combination of those things happened. Baltimore is back
(21:00):
and they're in business there. They just need to keep it,
keep it simple, and just beat who you're supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It is the Ben Mallard Show. If you would like
to be.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We are
here all night throughout the overnight. That's eight seven seven
nine nine six six three sixty nine. Also coming up,
a little bit later this hour we'll have the who
am I?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Game? We look forward to that and you can play
along with all of the bits as we go through.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
At every hour there's something you might like it, you
might not, But there's something every hour. Next hour we've
got Mallard of the third degree, we'll have the Mallard
Riddle of the Day, the Malat Riddle a day, and
lame jokes an hour three and I'm pretty sure we're
not gonna have the Coop Scoop.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Maybe we'll have cheese with breeze.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
We'll do something like that, but we could do that
who knows a reason for Coop? And then Sports Jeopardy
we'll have that as well. So anyway, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox is the number you want to
hit me up on X at Ben Mallard, we do
read a lot of comments on the air.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Will be a warned and they're open to interpretation.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I know Justin and Cincinnati gets a stick up as
keyster when I point that out, but really, when you
post something on social media, it's like a piece.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Of fine art.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And as we know, when you go to the Louver
or any other art museum, it's open to interpretation, and
so I interpret what I believe you meant to say.
Because many of you don't know how to spell. You
didn't graduate from the third grade, so I have.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
To clean up your spell literate. Yeah, I mean there's
a little bit of that.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I mean, I'm not the greatest either, but I became
a much better speller when I figured out spell check.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
All right, straight ahead, call him mister motivation. That's right,
call him mister motivation. We'll get to that and we will.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Do it next.

Dad to the third degree.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
This is one big event gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And now a woman who made a very poor decision
as a child and became a Saints fan.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Our friend, Breeze, that was such a disc that's so good.
What's so true.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
I have my I'm my Bloomingdale's trash back now I've
moved up. I'm not Trader Joe's anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I have a Bloomingdale's trash, you know, for my aides.
So that's exciting. Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
I'm ed Ordron revealed on Wednesday, Ben he would love
to return to LSU as the head coach. What's the
chances of that happening?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
You think I'll give Ed?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh? I want to give him a ten percent chance.
And the only reason I'm going ten percent is he
has to have some boosters. The way these guys get
the jobs, you got to suck up to the billionaire
boosters billionaire boys club, and if you get one of
those guys to sign off and support you, you can
get the job. But he failed at the end. He
did win with Drew Brees or with Chief gree with
(24:20):
Joe Burrow and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Next.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Okay, so we're about four days away from the NFL
trade deadline. You've talked about a number of trade rumors,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Of teams have denied.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Which team do you think is going to be most
active at the deadline?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, the Giants should trade Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I'd like to see Jameis.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Winston go somewhere and play. I like watching him play,
So that would be one. In the Cleveland Browns, Miles
Garrett doesn't want to be there, you can get a
lot for him.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
We're gonna talk about.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That more later, but I think that would be the
obvious one. Also next, all righty.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
The seventy six ers are four and oh so far,
and people are thinking that they are legit contenders, and
for once it isn't. Because of Joelle Embiid. The evolution
of Tyrese Maxi has people looking at Philly a little
bit different. Ben, do you think he's think a game changer?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
He's off to a good start. It's we're not even
at November first yet.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I've been trying to watch some of these NBA games.
I'm not quite there yet. I'm not buying the Sixers.
When the dust settles, East is wide open. But I'm
not buying that they're going to be there at the end,
mainly because Joel Embiid is still on that team and
he's dead weight.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
How did we do? Plus Ben Good?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Unlike the Saints, I passed a Happy Halloween. This has
to be the top Halloween song, right. I can't think
of anything that tops the months Tomash Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Not bad either, Bill Miller. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
