(02:01):
of the show also made possible by this. Every goal

why Heleion and US Soccer are launching for the Assist,
the celebration of everyday acts of support that help people
achieve their goals with iconic brands like Sentini, Thoms, Voltred,
Advil and Centrum. To learn more, go to Hallion Assist
(02:25):
dot com. And we begin anew this hour, and it's
all about the NFL in Cano City. It's seemingly a
birthright for the Chiefs to end up in the AFC
Championship Game at least, if not the Super Bowl. Well,
in order to do that, you have to make the playoffs,
(02:45):
and that appears to be all but done at this point.
While not mathematically eliminated, realistically eliminated we go to Arrowhead
where Will Anderson the headline linebacker leading the NFL's top
rank defense. They Houston Texans taking on Patrick Mahomey and
(03:06):
the Chiefs. It was an island game. Oh, the island
life for me, The island life for me. Chris Collinsworth
and Mike Tariko had to call on and me. Now,
I don't know if you watched it or not, perhaps not,
but it was a turnover Poloosa as Houston intercepted mahomes
not once, not twice, but three times and stopped Kansas
(03:27):
City on not one, but two fourth down tries in
the second half late in the game, and they win
twenty to ten. They being the team from Texas, they
go to Arrowhead Stadium and there you go, there you go.
They go to Erroohead Stadium and they end up winning
the game on the road, a game that has major
(03:51):
AFC playoff implications. Nick go, collins he's pretty good. I hear,
I hear, he's pretty good. And he got it done
there four catches, one hundred and twenty one yards as
the Texans get their eight win of the other eight
and five, and they win their fifth straight overall, and
they are Bird dogging the Jacksonville Juguars who blew out.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
The free falling Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They're about done there. It's a nice story for a
few weeks, but the Daniel Jones down for the county.
Even if you stayed healthy, they still would have been out.
So the AFC South, you got Jacksonville and Houston. But
we're talking about Houston here. But the better story is
in the losing locker room, and so that is where
we're gonna go. The Chiefs, who have been to the
Super Bowl three straight years, are now under five hundred
(04:41):
six and seven is the record, and they need a
whole lot of help. They need a whole gaggle, a
whole gaggle of Guardian Angels if they're gonna make this
happen here and get in the plus, there would have
to be some serious manipulation for then beginning as one
of the wild card teams, as he can forget about
winning the division that is ov er Kansas City. If
(05:04):
you believe the nerds, The nerds will tell you that
they only have a sixteen percent chance to make the postseason,
according to one of the many playoff simulators making the
rounds on this overnight. Not only that, but the Chiefs,
even if they win the four games they've got upcoming here,
they would still only have about a fifty to fifty
(05:28):
shot a little over that fifty two percent to make
it to the postseason, meaning that not only they must
win every game, but they also need a couple of
teams to lose multiple times. Give look at the tie
breakers Jacksonville and Houston. Well, the Chiefs lost to both
those teams, so one of them is gonna have to
(05:49):
lose a couple of times. You know, if they're in
neck and neck for the wild card spot. That's assuming
the Chiefs can win four more games. So let us
discuss that is a good jumping off point. Let's start
with the quote of the week in the NFL from
Andy Reid. Andy Reid had said this week leading into
the game on Sunday night, he said the Chiefs were
going to try to tickle the Texans tonsils on every play.
(06:12):
How did that go? So I've got auto club, juggling, trope,
and bonfire, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a nice vacation,
which is what the Chiefs will be able to do
(06:32):
if they'll make the playoffs. They go to a nice long, hot,
niggity dog vacation art. So hey, let's carve the turkey,
and boy, the Chiefs were a turkey. We'll carve with
a butter knife because Andy Reid that quote, what a
great quote, and moys it good and we're going to
tickle the tonsils on every play. Of course, then they
had to play the game. And what exactly happened there, Well,
(06:55):
Kansas City got a full blown prostate exam administered the
Houston defense, so it did not go quite the way
they were hoping for. No amnesia, no warning, just a
nice prostate exam. Just bend over Fellas. This once magical Mahomes,
magic the Chiefs and all that. Right now, at this
(07:15):
point they need to call the auto club and get
a tow truck over there, because I think the tow
trucks in the parking lot idling over there because the
Geloppi has a run out of gas and there's some
problems with the engine. Here they're not just stuck in
the mud, they are buried like a mini van and
a mud slide. At this particular point here you got Mahomes,
(07:39):
who's mister Hall of Famer and all that and his
podcast buddy Travis Kelcey the Bearded Babe for Taylor Swift.
There the security blanket. Well, I think had one catch
in this game. And so the line is that iron
sharpman's iron. That's you know, you go against the top defense.
You test yourself where you are and in this case.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Iron turned into aluminum foil getting shredded in a kitchen blender.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
As you are what your record says you are. And
right now the Chiefs are under five hundred. That is
the outfit they are. They're under five hundred, and it
looks on a seemingly weekly basis here you watch them
play that they're running a malfunctioning do Hickey. The dow
(08:27):
Hickey is malfunctioning about on this game. It was over
eighty percent of the times, eighty three percent of the time. Now,
how did I get to the number eighty three percent?
That the Chiefs are miles apart from where they need
to be. So eighty three percent of the time they
had twelve drives Kansas City did four of the drives
ended up in punts, three of them ended up in interceptions,
(08:47):
and two of them turnover on downs slim pickens and
a partridge in a pear tree of incompetence. And Kansas
City also went four to fourteen on third down. I'm
told that's not good. And you had my favorite the
receivers playing volleyball with Mahomes passes there and suddenly the
playoff odds for Kansas City looked like a deflated balloon
(09:11):
at a kid's birthday party at all sad wheezing, no lyft,
none of that stuff. To again, this was not as
Andy Reid described it. It was not tonsil tickling that
took place. This was the Texans domination and the turnovers
of the defense leading to all the points the Texans
(09:32):
scored in the second half. So it's not like the
Texans did much of anything against the Chiefs defense, but
the mistakes by Kansas City setting up the Texans for
some points there. Now turning the page to the quarterback room,
and the question on this one is what can be
said about Patrick Mahomes and his struggles for the Chiefs
(09:54):
in this game? And so this was a full on
migraine to the tenth degree. There is a full on
migraine there for Mahomes, and somebody needs to go down
to the pharmacy. Go down to Walgreens, get some pharmacy
grade ibuprofen. Because the standard is the standard is Mike
(10:14):
Tomlin says, they're in Pittsburgh, but the standard is the
standard in general. And Mahomes belly wopped and flopped right
under it. And don't blame the Makeship offensive line. That
was a big part of this game coming in signing
guys off the street. They were getting guys off Craig's
list and offer up, hey, how would you like to
play offensive line for the chief Sure, I guess I'll
(10:35):
play offensive line for the Chiefs. How much does it pay?
What are the benefits? How many hours a day do
I have to work? All that stuff? Mahomes is only
sacked twice. Now he was pressured a bunch, but he
was only sacked twice. And this was a pass catcher mutiny.
A pass catcher mutiny is what happened in this particular game.
It just was Kansas City's receivers formed a VIP clubs
(11:00):
in very ineffective people, a very ineffective people at catching
the ball. They had six drop passes in this game.
And that's an NFL receiving court of course, when you
drop six passes, it's not really an NFL receiving court.
That's a juggling troop that without the hand eye coordination.
I mean, Mike, we could put inca terror blind Scott
(11:22):
Stevie Meebol's blind Emmett, the Great Blind Army of the
Malla Militia, and they could juggle better than the receivers
in terms of catching the ball. Rashie Rice had a
fourth and four on a fourth down play and the
pass was right there, and then what did you do?
That was a chef's kiss, chef's kiss of incompetence. Mahomes
(11:47):
stepped off, delivered to strike and then Rice treats it
like a hot potato. What are you doing it? So?
Second straight week he coughed up a late throw, remember
the game against Dallas. And if only he caught passes
the way he drives recklessly through Dallas, they'd be onto something.
(12:09):
And then you've got Travis Kelce, mister Swift, the podcast
guy who decided to play like a podcaster as he
bobbled one up in the air like he was trying
out for the Olympic beach volleyball team. And that was
picked off and that was that. Here's Andy Reid, big Red,
big Red. What do you have to say for all
those passes that were battered in the air everywhere?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, listen, these are great players, so I mean, we
got to make sure we catch the ball. They know that,
and they're trying black effort there you know, all went
through their hands and it happens. You know, those guys
are great players.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, well they weren't on this night. Great players. So
that's wonderful. They have good resumes and good pro football
reference pages, but it didn't help you in this game.
And as the line of thinking goes, all that matters
is what you do in the moment. Right, They flipped
the script and so the Texans are feeling pretty good
about themselves into the stratosphere. So Mahomes ends up with
(13:06):
one of the worst games of his career since he
established himself as the greatest quarterback of this generation. He
had nineteen incomplete passes of fourteen of thirty three nineteen
incomplete passes, no touchdowns, and three interceptions, a passer rating
below twenty, which means indeed, if the Chiefs had just
stabbed the ball and hike thrown in the ground, he
(13:28):
would have had a higher passer rating. Now that's not
the face of the dynasty. It was not in this game.
That's a quarterback stuck in football traffic and you're just
right there on the world's longest one lane road, and
it's a season long frustration. It's just one little thing
here and then a thing of a jig over there
(13:49):
and the what you McCall it doesn't work and then
you find yourself here a bunch of self inflicted wounds everywhere,
and that's how you end up going from a am
C championship team to out of the playoffs, just like that. Now,
last word, a lot of people trying to climb on
to the bandwagon for the Houston Texans, trying to get
(14:12):
a little you know, get a seat there, and there's
no seats left. So it's like those trains in is
it India where they you know, the big train is
like once a year they jump on top of the train.
It's like an amazing thing. Have you ever seen that before?
I think it's in India? But CJ. Stroud two hundred
and three yards and a touchdown, And the question here
(14:32):
does this win at Arrowhead Stadium? Does it lessen the pressure,
the immense pressure on the Texans quarterback CJ. Stroud. Remember
the Texans had done fine when he was out. In fact,
they started finding their mojo with Davis Mills the backup.
So does this win at Arrowhead help things out for CJ.
(14:54):
Stroutt I would say absolutely not. If anything, If you
he saw the game, it throws another log on the bonfire.
It throws another log on the bonfire. That makes me
what Kansas City practically hand delivered five turnovers, three picks,
two turnovers on downs, a couple of them deep deep
(15:17):
in their own territory, and it's kind of like somebody
dropping their wallet at your feet with a big water
cash sticking out and they walk away. And then Stroud
still needed a search party to close the deal in
the second half, and he had a front row seat, CJ.
Stroud on the Vomit comet. He was right there on
(15:40):
the vomit comet and not on the same street, not
the same stride of the street. With his receivers. In
the second half a road win at Arrowhead, CJ. Stroud
attempted twelve passes, completed three of them for thirty two
yards in the second half, and won a game on
the road, won a game on the road, took the checker,
(16:00):
got it done on the road. Three passes he completed
in the second half, and it looks like the passer
reaty thirty nine point five is like the speed limit
in the school zone. And that's not exactly taking things
to the next level and cranking it up a couple
of notches. Big boy quarterbacking that his training wheels stuff.
(16:23):
And don't overlook the fact that all ten points scored
by Houston was courtesy of the bloopers of the Chiefs.
They're bloopers there. Set them up in the second half,
and you look, the Texas were not driving the bus.
Kansas City was blindly stumbling into traffic. And the narrative
(16:46):
doesn't change because you survived. The Chiefs melt down there
on offense and they got a good defense and Stroud
that's the point. Though he didn't quiet any of the noise.
He did. He just turned the volume up and it
went from jackhammer volume to leaf blower volume, and you're
(17:06):
just the pressure is still at full blast. Because the
Texans remain a lopsided team. They're a top heavy team.
They've got an elite defense, and that offense is just
not very good, and you know down the line the postseason,
you're gonna have these issues where unless the defense gets
two or three turnovers and the other team's just completely incompetent,
(17:27):
you're not gonna get much of anything out of your quarterback.
And that's just the way is. You're gonna have to
find points in the nook and crannies of your offense
because there's just not a lot there, and that's just
the reality of the situation.

Hour of the Ben Mallor Show, we are in the

crafted delights every take coast, the coast, border, the border
and beyond on the vast and scorchingly powerful microphones of FSR,
(18:55):
emminating live from the bills as we pay the bills
here from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by the legendary the one and only the man,
the myth legend Hollering James from Minneapolis, Minnesota who hollers
all night long. This portion of the Ben Mally Show
made possible part by our friends at tire Iraq. For
(19:17):
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers like
Kathy and Madison find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive fast and free, which makes supermarket
Steve very happy. And they got free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rac
dot com. The way tire buying should be and every
(19:40):
goal starts with an assist on and off the field.
Did you know that you're nodding your head head. Yes,
that's why halli On and US Soccer are launching for
the Assist, a celebration of everyday acts of support that
help people achieve their goals with iconic brands like Censinnine, Toms,
voltrand Advill and Centrum. To learn more, go to halleyon
(20:03):
assist dot com and we begin to do this hour
as we yap at the Yap all night long here
from the Mothership, the main studio, and our lead is
from not the NFL, this hour from college football. That's right,
college football. Why college football? We go where the news
(20:24):
of the day takes us. And the Dallas Cowboys of
college football are having a bad day. They're having a
bad day. And you just assumed the position that if
it was closed, Notre Dame was going to get in there,
the cash cow of college football, of course, talking about
the college football playoff, and the news came out on
(20:45):
Sunday that was not the case.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
And the athletic director Pete Bavaqua, Bavoqua, he couldn't water.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
We found a boat. Pete Bavaqua says that the football
program is an utter disbelief after being left out of
the college football playoff. If you didn't see this, quite
the story here. Very emotional, very emotional. The reaction as
a result the fighting Irish. Are they gonna be adults,
(21:12):
grown ups and go play a ball game and say,
all right, we're gonna win this game by eighty points
and shove it down the throat of the college football
Playoff committee? Or are they gonna quit let's see. Oh yeah,
that's what they're doing there. We're not playing a ballgame.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not playing.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, they're not gonna participate in the ballgame. I was
so good. God, they look like such idiots. Oh I
love it. There's embarrassing themselves. No, No, Dame football. What
a joke, What a freaking joke. It's so good. The
Irish had been ranked in the top ten in every
one of these Fugasey College Football Playoff rankings until Sunday,
(21:54):
and then they were placed at number eleven. They were
the first team out Miami, which beat Notre Dame back
in week one. They moved ahead of the Irish in
the final ranking to take the last at large berth
so Notre Dame the bubble popped for the fighting Irish,
they're out, and by not making it this year, Notre
(22:16):
Dame lost out on a four million dollar pay day,
which I think is that that's like tip money. That's
what they pay the pool boy for million dollars. They
lose that money. So anyway, that's a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question, what did you think of
the Notre Dame football program having a hissy fit and
(22:39):
turning down a bowl game because we're not going to
the playoffs. We're not gonna play your at bulgain. All right,
So I've got shopping cart, Jimmy Johns, and ring toss,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna have a frosty good time. So Number
(23:07):
I got that Notre Dame. I love this story so
much that Notre Dame ended up throwing a Toddler like
meltdown on Aisle seven because they didn't get the toy
they wanted so good, oh so great college Football Playoff
committee did not give them the shiny brand nude toy
(23:32):
that they were really hoping to get, and so they
just decided they were gonna lay down and start crying
and embarrass their mom and their dad right in the
middle of Aisle seven, right at the toy store. And
this wasn't disappointment. This was a hissy fit wrapped in
gold trim, dipped in entitlement and sprinkled with bougie Irish
(23:53):
fairy dust, is what this was. You've got Marcus Freeman,
the coach at Notre Dame, who didn't just opened the
door to this modern brain rod. He rolled out the
red carpet and fully embraced it.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
In fact, he's literally Marcus Freeman, the fighting of ours
coach is cuddling with the brain rod.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's extra soft Sharman. That's the culture at its peak,
at its peak. And what Notre Dame is doing here
by saying we're not going to the coach for play,
We're not gonna play it all. This is a kin
to like the NBA players are running the All Star
Game because they don't give a crap, or the NFL
Pro Bowl, which doesn't even get played anymore because the
NFL players don't give a crap. So I guess Notre
(24:33):
Dame based on what I was reading, if I have
it right, as I understand it, they were gonna go
to the pop Tard Bowl, and I guess that doesn't
mean anything, so why bother showing up. I don't know
about you, but I was raised on pop tarts. I
would love to go to the pop Tart Bowl. I would.
I would be so happy.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
To get as many pop tarts as I could buy,
all the different flavors.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I would rather go to the pop Tart Bowl than
some of these other fu gaisy bowls that Notre Dame
would have played it. But here's the problem this is
I know it's a me problem not and you probably
support this because you're.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Like, oh, you're such a boomer expecting people to show
up and do their job. What's wrong with you? Mallor?
But my point is this, right, it's the modern zeitgeist
of the time, right, boom, there it is, right, and
the Irish they lost head to head to Miami. Who
was week one? They played headhead In my life, that's
always the typebreaker, that's always the first type breaker. All
(25:26):
things are even the first tiebreaker, going back to medieval times.
I'm not talking about that old restaurant that used to
be right, I don't even know they're still around, But
that's how long it goes, and everyone's acting like someone
stole grandma's silverware because Notre Dame did not get it. No,
I thought they were gonna get in because they're Notre Dame.
They've got the brand, they're big money for college football,
(25:48):
they're national team. I mean, it's like, if you're a Catholic,
you gotta like Notre Dame. If not, people look down
upon you. Right, and yet they didn't get in. But
I go the tiebreaker thing, I have no issue with it.
It played a head to hege. It was week one.
Well that counts, it counts. And this athletic, therector, Pete
pavaqua Is, he's no relation to the baseball guy. Right,
(26:11):
there's no way I would doubt it. But anyway, Pee
Ravaqua talking about being punched in the stomach from all
this and police, come on, now, come on, that's not
a gut punch. Okay, it's not. That's a self inflicted
meltdown is what that is. And you know how real
programs handle adversity. It's a teachable moment, right, you act
(26:32):
like an adult. You go out there and play and
you live your life and you say, screw that, this
is our last chance to play together as a unit.
We're gonna go out there and have a great time,
and that's that. And instead Notre Dames like, ah, now,
we're gonna curl up and we're gonna be like a
shopping cart. We're gonna be like a shopping cart with
a wobbly wheel, shaking and squeaking and veering off course
(26:54):
the moment you need it to go straight, the moment
you needed to go straight.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
And skipping the bowl. You're not making some kind of
bold statement.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You're not. You're announcing the world you're weak. You're announcing
the world you surrender because you're a bunch of cowards.
That's Notre Dame football. That's the fighting Irish.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
You planted the surrender flag and you claimed it's school pride.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
My fat ass at school pride. Come on, it's so stupid.
And there are some that are, of course defending Notre Dame,
because no matter what Notre Dame does, there are people
that will defend them. But that was ridiculous. That was
absolutely rediculous. Right now, speaking ridiculous, we go to baseball.
I was gonna do a rant about Jeff can't getting
into the Hall of Fame. I chose not to do
that because I saw this story. I thought, well, this
is even more ridiculous. I never thought Jeff Can't was
(27:38):
a Hall of Famer when he was playing for the
Giants of the Dodgers, he was a Hall of Fame
a hole. How crazy is it, by the way, that
Kent's gonna get into the Hall of Fame and Barry
Bonds is not in the Hall of Fame. Dumb, du dumb,
dumb dumb anyway, So the Pirates, a team that Barry
used to play for, the Pirates have not tried to
win pretty much my entire life. So the Pirates have
decided to make a run at a big time free agent.
(28:01):
You see this. The Pirates have made free agent designated
hitter Kyle Schwarber Swarbs a four year offer. According to
a report that went viral on Sunday night behind a
paywall at the Old Gray Lady The Athletic, the offer
is for more than one hundred million dollars for Kyle Schwarber,
(28:24):
who played for the Phillies last couple years. Question, Hey,
you explain why the dumpster fire that is the Pittsburgh
Pirates are bidding on Kyle Schwarber. All right, so this
one warms my cockles. I don't even know what to cockles,
but it warms my cockles. Right, The Pirates, who are
the baseball equivalent of a broken vending machine in the
(28:49):
very back of a Greyhound station in El Paso, Texas,
suddenly out here tossing nine figures out to Kyle Schwarber. Please, Right,
this is like one of those bedtime fairy tale type things, right,
the little small market team that could jube.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Yeah, except it absolutely can't and it won't. And every man,
woman and child knows this. It is classic Pirates cosplay,
is what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
All Right. They're not eating at Jimmy Johns, but they're
sure enjoying the free smells.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
They like the smells. You know what that smells like
it they're sniffing.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Around a big ticket player, and they're not actually gonna
buy the player.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Instead, they're gonna make sure to let everyone know this
is the we tried offer. We really really tried, We
really wanted the player. We gave it the old college try.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Right. The Pirates are the guy at the bar who's
buying a drink for the hottest supermodel at the bar.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Right, The most beautiful woman in the world at the
bar and the Pirates are buying the drink for knowing
full well she's not leaving with them.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
She's leaving with the quarterback. She's not leaving with them.
It's form of generosity, and it's like giving someone a
coupon for ten percent off expired yogurt. Wasn't that nice?
Isn't it? Schwarber's agent and you know they love this, right,
and we try to play the game. Who leaked the story? Well,
this is either the pirates or Schwarber's agent or both,
because it makes the Pirates look good because they're trying
(30:19):
to sign a free agent, makes schwarburst him like he's
so in demand. Even these crap bag teams are trying
to get him. Now, whoever leaked? These baseball scribes carry
the water for the agents, and they've been doing this
since dial up internet, since AOL, And suddenly Schwarbur's price,
you know, you figure it's gonna get higher and higher.
Now he's never gonna go to a team like Pittsburgh.
(30:40):
But the fact that he could, the fact that the
Reds were mentioned last week. You know, the teams that
are usually not bidding on these players, and so it
shows you that's gonna cost more for the teams like
the Red Sox and the Phillies, the good teams that
are supposedly in on Schwarber and Pittsburgh knows they're not
(31:01):
going to get him, but they also know that they
can flash this around as pr Hey, look we're trying
they we're willing to spend money. Yeah, we're not your
daddy's Pittsburgh Pirates. And then I'm willing to buy, of course,
a yacht. If someone knocks a few zeros off, I
will buy the yacht. If it's I don't know, free,
(31:23):
I'll buy it. I'll give you a couple of bull
give it two bucks for it. How about that two bucks?
They're really trying to get above the payroll. That one
of the theories is there the Baseball's hell bent in
the next labor negotiation of having a salary cap floor.
And now I'm against both because I think it's just
for gayzy. I've been through that before. However, the theory
(31:45):
is the Pirates and some of these cheaper teams are
going to try to spend a little more money. That way,
when they go to the negotiating table, they can say, well, look,
the A's signed this guy, the Pirates signed that guy,
Tampa Bay and the Marlins signed this guy, and so
they'll try it. They can make that argument that the
zero chance, zero chance times fake effort equals Pirates baseball, right,
(32:07):
the zero chan fake effort. That's the Pirates in a
nuts you all right, final point to the NFL. We
go now the NFL Draft. We ain't here talking about
the draft. Not a game, not a game. We in
here talking about draft. Well because of the results on
Sunday with the Tennessee Titans taking down the Cleveland Browns
and the New Orleans Saints up ending Tampa Bay, both
(32:30):
getting upset wins on your NFL weekend, that means moving
on up to a penhouse on the upper east side.
The New York Giants have moved up and they are
at the very top. The Giants are on the clock
and they are in position if they lose out to
have the number one in the pick in the draft,
(32:53):
and the Raiders right now would have the number two
pick in the draft. So the Raiders would be at
number two, which is just per for the Raiders. This
is a draft that does not feature an elite level quarterback.
In fact, there are no quarterbacks worthy of being drafted
number one overall, so that means the Raiders probably will
end up with a number one pick. However, the story
here is the crying. There's no crying. Oh yes there is.
(33:18):
Tennessee and New Orleans fans upset. Oh my god, why
did we win the game? Oh my, you're messing up
my draft plans. You're messing up my late April plans.
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
All?
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Question? Should Titans and Saints fans be upset that they
won their team's won games over the weekend and are
now out of top pig status in the NFL draft?
So my response would be to stop it, to zip it,
give me a break. I want to puke in my
(33:48):
mouth when I see this kind of stuff, I want
to puke in my mouth. Enough. That is the junk
food thinking of a franchise addicted to scratcher tickets. Right,
the end of draft is the biggest carnival hustle coing around.
Don't fall for it. It's the guy on the boardwalk
telling you come on up. It's the ring toss, right,
(34:10):
It's easy for you. Just try it, try it, Come on,
come on do it again. You can do it. You
can do it. Watch I'll do it.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
You can do it, and people line up and their
suckers every year.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It's a total boon. Doggle boone doggle. Living for draft
position is a loser mentality. You don't tank your way
to success. You play to win the game. Thank you
very much, Herm Edwards.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
You worry about the draft in March, not in week
fourteen of the regular season.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Draft picks are a renewable resource. They regenerate every spring.
Like Crabgrass and Tennessee. I'll give you an example. How
ridiculous is is Tennessee had the number one pick this
past year. Right, they got cam Ward out of Miami
and Washington State, and he was billed as a plug
and play player, just right out of the box. You
(35:01):
put him out there and play them. So they put
him out there pretty much right out of the box.
How's that working out? Cam Ward is the thirty seventh
ranked quarterback. More like plug and prey for the Tennessee Titans.
How about the Giants? The Giants last year they needed
an edge rusher. They drafted Abduall Carter out of Penn
State at number three, and if abduall Carter was a
(35:22):
cartoon character, he'd beat Garfield. He loves lasagna and taking
naps during team meetings. He does not like mondays either,
And so I believe I go with the less sneed
mantra f them picks, f them picks. And he wasn't
wrong when he said that. You know it's you obviously
have picks every year, but you don't worry about them
(35:44):
in the middle of the NFL season. My guy, It
just I see these reactions like people are losers.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
You're all just going to lose forever. You're whining about
draft picks, and what's the point? Just why don't even
watch the game? Just wait until the draft. Just I'm
a fan of football. I only watched the draft. I
only watched the trades in the offseason. I won't watch
the games and just build castles in the sky and
don't worry about watching the games and just hope they
lose every game.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
But don't watch. And that's that.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
The Seattle Seahawks won again this weekend, but before the game,
there was a report that the Seahawks could make a
shocking move with Sam Donald after the season. They're only
like tied to him from one season. Do you think
if they don't get to the super Bowl that they'll
get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Well, they should, because you're not gonna win with Sam
darn everyone knows it. He'll you know, he's fine in
the regular season. He was terrible in the FRODA and
he saw this game coup. He was horrific in the
first half, and then the second half he flipped the
switch and was great. Yeah, there's absolutely a a world
where Sam Donald is not the quarterback of Seattle next season.
There's no guarantees can be.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Back next Alabama made it into the college football Playoffs
and a lot of people didn't think they should. They
are the first three lost team to make it, Ben,

Well, I'm there for the story. I have a talk
show to do, so they're good for talk radio. So
I like Notre Dame. I would rather see Notre Dame
is good for what I do.

So yes, Next, Jahn Morant is getting linked to the
Miami Heat. Do you think they'll trade him?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay? So Jahn Morant found trouble in Memphis. Can you
imagine what he will do in Miami? Coop? My god?
He might not even play in the games in Miami.
He has so much to do there. God, how we
do pass? If you met Dahn Moran in Miami? Oh

(02:25):

all about the NFL in Cano City. It's seemingly a
birthright for the Chiefs to end up in the AFC
Championship Game at least, if not the Super Bowl. Well,
in order to do that, you have to make the playoffs,
(02:45):
and that appears to be all but done at this point.
While not mathematically eliminated, realistically eliminated we go to Arrowhead
where Will Anderson the headline linebacker leading the NFL's top
rank defense. They Houston Texans taking on Patrick Mahomey and
(03:06):
the Chiefs. It was an island game. Oh, the island
life for me, The island life for me. Chris Collinsworth
and Mike Tariko had to call on and me. Now,
I don't know if you watched it or not, perhaps not,
but it was a turnover Poloosa as Houston intercepted mahomes
not once, not twice, but three times and stopped Kansas
(03:27):
City on not one, but two fourth down tries in
the second half late in the game, and they win
twenty to ten. They being the team from Texas, they
go to Arrowhead Stadium and there you go, there you go.
They go to Erroohead Stadium and they end up winning
the game on the road, a game that has major
(03:51):
AFC playoff implications. Nick go, collins he's pretty good. I hear,
I hear, he's pretty good. And he got it done
there four catches, one hundred and twenty one yards as
the Texans get their eight win of the other eight
and five, and they win their fifth straight overall, and
they are Bird dogging the Jacksonville Juguars who blew out.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
The free falling Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They're about done there. It's a nice story for a
few weeks, but the Daniel Jones down for the county.
Even if you stayed healthy, they still would have been out.
So the AFC South, you got Jacksonville and Houston. But
we're talking about Houston here. But the better story is
in the losing locker room, and so that is where
we're gonna go. The Chiefs, who have been to the
Super Bowl three straight years, are now under five hundred
(04:41):
six and seven is the record, and they need a
whole lot of help. They need a whole gaggle, a
whole gaggle of Guardian Angels if they're gonna make this
happen here and get in the plus, there would have
to be some serious manipulation for then beginning as one
of the wild card teams, as he can forget about
winning the division that is ov er Kansas City. If
(05:04):
you believe the nerds, The nerds will tell you that
they only have a sixteen percent chance to make the postseason,
according to one of the many playoff simulators making the
rounds on this overnight. Not only that, but the Chiefs,
even if they win the four games they've got upcoming here,
they would still only have about a fifty to fifty
(05:28):
shot a little over that fifty two percent to make
it to the postseason, meaning that not only they must
win every game, but they also need a couple of
teams to lose multiple times. Give look at the tie
breakers Jacksonville and Houston. Well, the Chiefs lost to both
those teams, so one of them is gonna have to
(05:49):
lose a couple of times. You know, if they're in
neck and neck for the wild card spot. That's assuming
the Chiefs can win four more games. So let us
discuss that is a good jumping off point. Let's start
with the quote of the week in the NFL from
Andy Reid. Andy Reid had said this week leading into
the game on Sunday night, he said the Chiefs were
going to try to tickle the Texans tonsils on every play.
(06:12):
How did that go? So I've got auto club, juggling, trope,
and bonfire, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a nice vacation,
which is what the Chiefs will be able to do
(06:32):
if they'll make the playoffs. They go to a nice long, hot,
niggity dog vacation art. So hey, let's carve the turkey,
and boy, the Chiefs were a turkey. We'll carve with
a butter knife because Andy Reid that quote, what a
great quote, and moys it good and we're going to
tickle the tonsils on every play. Of course, then they
had to play the game. And what exactly happened there, Well,
(06:55):
Kansas City got a full blown prostate exam administered the
Houston defense, so it did not go quite the way
they were hoping for. No amnesia, no warning, just a
nice prostate exam. Just bend over Fellas. This once magical Mahomes,
magic the Chiefs and all that. Right now, at this
(07:15):
point they need to call the auto club and get
a tow truck over there, because I think the tow
trucks in the parking lot idling over there because the
Geloppi has a run out of gas and there's some
problems with the engine. Here they're not just stuck in
the mud, they are buried like a mini van and
a mud slide. At this particular point here you got Mahomes,
(07:39):
who's mister Hall of Famer and all that and his
podcast buddy Travis Kelcey the Bearded Babe for Taylor Swift.
There the security blanket. Well, I think had one catch
in this game. And so the line is that iron
sharpman's iron. That's you know, you go against the top defense.
You test yourself where you are and in this case.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Iron turned into aluminum foil getting shredded in a kitchen blender.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
As you are what your record says you are. And
right now the Chiefs are under five hundred. That is
the outfit they are. They're under five hundred, and it
looks on a seemingly weekly basis here you watch them
play that they're running a malfunctioning do Hickey. The dow
(08:27):
Hickey is malfunctioning about on this game. It was over
eighty percent of the times, eighty three percent of the time. Now,
how did I get to the number eighty three percent?
That the Chiefs are miles apart from where they need
to be. So eighty three percent of the time they
had twelve drives Kansas City did four of the drives
ended up in punts, three of them ended up in interceptions,
(08:47):
and two of them turnover on downs slim pickens and
a partridge in a pear tree of incompetence. And Kansas
City also went four to fourteen on third down. I'm
told that's not good. And you had my favorite the
receivers playing volleyball with Mahomes passes there and suddenly the
playoff odds for Kansas City looked like a deflated balloon
(09:11):
at a kid's birthday party at all sad wheezing, no lyft,
none of that stuff. To again, this was not as
Andy Reid described it. It was not tonsil tickling that
took place. This was the Texans domination and the turnovers
of the defense leading to all the points the Texans
(09:32):
scored in the second half. So it's not like the
Texans did much of anything against the Chiefs defense, but
the mistakes by Kansas City setting up the Texans for
some points there. Now turning the page to the quarterback room,
and the question on this one is what can be
said about Patrick Mahomes and his struggles for the Chiefs
(09:54):
in this game? And so this was a full on
migraine to the tenth degree. There is a full on
migraine there for Mahomes, and somebody needs to go down
to the pharmacy. Go down to Walgreens, get some pharmacy
grade ibuprofen. Because the standard is the standard is Mike
(10:14):
Tomlin says, they're in Pittsburgh, but the standard is the
standard in general. And Mahomes belly wopped and flopped right
under it. And don't blame the Makeship offensive line. That
was a big part of this game coming in signing
guys off the street. They were getting guys off Craig's
list and offer up, hey, how would you like to
play offensive line for the chief Sure, I guess I'll
(10:35):
play offensive line for the Chiefs. How much does it pay?
What are the benefits? How many hours a day do
I have to work? All that stuff? Mahomes is only
sacked twice. Now he was pressured a bunch, but he
was only sacked twice. And this was a pass catcher mutiny.
A pass catcher mutiny is what happened in this particular game.
It just was Kansas City's receivers formed a VIP clubs
(11:00):
in very ineffective people, a very ineffective people at catching
the ball. They had six drop passes in this game.
And that's an NFL receiving court of course, when you
drop six passes, it's not really an NFL receiving court.
That's a juggling troop that without the hand eye coordination.
I mean, Mike, we could put inca terror blind Scott
(11:22):
Stevie Meebol's blind Emmett, the Great Blind Army of the
Malla Militia, and they could juggle better than the receivers
in terms of catching the ball. Rashie Rice had a
fourth and four on a fourth down play and the
pass was right there, and then what did you do?
That was a chef's kiss, chef's kiss of incompetence. Mahomes
(11:47):
stepped off, delivered to strike and then Rice treats it
like a hot potato. What are you doing it? So?
Second straight week he coughed up a late throw, remember
the game against Dallas. And if only he caught passes
the way he drives recklessly through Dallas, they'd be onto something.
(12:09):
And then you've got Travis Kelce, mister Swift, the podcast
guy who decided to play like a podcaster as he
bobbled one up in the air like he was trying
out for the Olympic beach volleyball team. And that was
picked off and that was that. Here's Andy Reid, big Red,
big Red. What do you have to say for all
those passes that were battered in the air everywhere?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, listen, these are great players, so I mean, we
got to make sure we catch the ball. They know that,
and they're trying black effort there you know, all went
through their hands and it happens. You know, those guys
are great players.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, well they weren't on this night. Great players. So
that's wonderful. They have good resumes and good pro football
reference pages, but it didn't help you in this game.
And as the line of thinking goes, all that matters
is what you do in the moment. Right, They flipped
the script and so the Texans are feeling pretty good
about themselves into the stratosphere. So Mahomes ends up with
(13:06):
one of the worst games of his career since he
established himself as the greatest quarterback of this generation. He
had nineteen incomplete passes of fourteen of thirty three nineteen
incomplete passes, no touchdowns, and three interceptions, a passer rating
below twenty, which means indeed, if the Chiefs had just
stabbed the ball and hike thrown in the ground, he
(13:28):
would have had a higher passer rating. Now that's not
the face of the dynasty. It was not in this game.
That's a quarterback stuck in football traffic and you're just
right there on the world's longest one lane road, and
it's a season long frustration. It's just one little thing
here and then a thing of a jig over there
(13:49):
and the what you McCall it doesn't work and then
you find yourself here a bunch of self inflicted wounds everywhere,
and that's how you end up going from a am
C championship team to out of the playoffs, just like that. Now,
last word, a lot of people trying to climb on
to the bandwagon for the Houston Texans, trying to get
(14:12):
a little you know, get a seat there, and there's
no seats left. So it's like those trains in is
it India where they you know, the big train is
like once a year they jump on top of the train.
It's like an amazing thing. Have you ever seen that before?
I think it's in India? But CJ. Stroud two hundred
and three yards and a touchdown, And the question here
(14:32):
does this win at Arrowhead Stadium? Does it lessen the pressure,
the immense pressure on the Texans quarterback CJ. Stroud. Remember
the Texans had done fine when he was out. In fact,
they started finding their mojo with Davis Mills the backup.
So does this win at Arrowhead help things out for CJ.
(14:54):
Stroutt I would say absolutely not. If anything, If you
he saw the game, it throws another log on the bonfire.
It throws another log on the bonfire. That makes me
what Kansas City practically hand delivered five turnovers, three picks,
two turnovers on downs, a couple of them deep deep
(15:17):
in their own territory, and it's kind of like somebody
dropping their wallet at your feet with a big water
cash sticking out and they walk away. And then Stroud
still needed a search party to close the deal in
the second half, and he had a front row seat, CJ.
Stroud on the Vomit comet. He was right there on
(15:40):
the vomit comet and not on the same street, not
the same stride of the street. With his receivers. In
the second half a road win at Arrowhead, CJ. Stroud
attempted twelve passes, completed three of them for thirty two
yards in the second half, and won a game on
the road, won a game on the road, took the checker,
(16:00):
got it done on the road. Three passes he completed
in the second half, and it looks like the passer
reaty thirty nine point five is like the speed limit
in the school zone. And that's not exactly taking things
to the next level and cranking it up a couple
of notches. Big boy quarterbacking that his training wheels stuff.
(16:23):
And don't overlook the fact that all ten points scored
by Houston was courtesy of the bloopers of the Chiefs.
They're bloopers there. Set them up in the second half,
and you look, the Texas were not driving the bus.
Kansas City was blindly stumbling into traffic. And the narrative
(16:46):
doesn't change because you survived. The Chiefs melt down there
on offense and they got a good defense and Stroud
that's the point. Though he didn't quiet any of the noise.
He did. He just turned the volume up and it
went from jackhammer volume to leaf blower volume, and you're
(17:06):
just the pressure is still at full blast. Because the
Texans remain a lopsided team. They're a top heavy team.
They've got an elite defense, and that offense is just
not very good, and you know down the line the postseason,
you're gonna have these issues where unless the defense gets
two or three turnovers and the other team's just completely incompetent,
(17:27):
you're not gonna get much of anything out of your quarterback.
And that's just the way is. You're gonna have to
find points in the nook and crannies of your offense
because there's just not a lot there, and that's just
the reality of the situation.

(20:03):
assist dot com and we begin to do this hour
as we yap at the Yap all night long here
from the Mothership, the main studio, and our lead is
from not the NFL, this hour from college football. That's right,
college football. Why college football? We go where the news
(20:24):
of the day takes us. And the Dallas Cowboys of
college football are having a bad day. They're having a
bad day. And you just assumed the position that if
it was closed, Notre Dame was going to get in there,
the cash cow of college football, of course, talking about
the college football playoff, and the news came out on
(20:45):
Sunday that was not the case.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
And the athletic director Pete Bavaqua, Bavoqua, he couldn't water.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
We found a boat. Pete Bavaqua says that the football
program is an utter disbelief after being left out of
the college football playoff. If you didn't see this, quite
the story here. Very emotional, very emotional. The reaction as
a result the fighting Irish. Are they gonna be adults,
(21:12):
grown ups and go play a ball game and say,
all right, we're gonna win this game by eighty points
and shove it down the throat of the college football
Playoff committee? Or are they gonna quit let's see. Oh yeah,
that's what they're doing there. We're not playing a ballgame.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not playing.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, they're not gonna participate in the ballgame. I was
so good. God, they look like such idiots. Oh I
love it. There's embarrassing themselves. No, No, Dame football. What
a joke, What a freaking joke. It's so good. The
Irish had been ranked in the top ten in every
one of these Fugasey College Football Playoff rankings until Sunday,
(21:54):
and then they were placed at number eleven. They were
the first team out Miami, which beat Notre Dame back
in week one. They moved ahead of the Irish in
the final ranking to take the last at large berth
so Notre Dame the bubble popped for the fighting Irish,
they're out, and by not making it this year, Notre
(22:16):
Dame lost out on a four million dollar pay day,
which I think is that that's like tip money. That's
what they pay the pool boy for million dollars. They
lose that money. So anyway, that's a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question, what did you think of
the Notre Dame football program having a hissy fit and
(22:39):
turning down a bowl game because we're not going to
the playoffs. We're not gonna play your at bulgain. All right,
So I've got shopping cart, Jimmy Johns, and ring toss,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna have a frosty good time. So Number
(23:07):
I got that Notre Dame. I love this story so
much that Notre Dame ended up throwing a Toddler like
meltdown on Aisle seven because they didn't get the toy
they wanted so good, oh so great college Football Playoff
committee did not give them the shiny brand nude toy
(23:32):
that they were really hoping to get, and so they
just decided they were gonna lay down and start crying
and embarrass their mom and their dad right in the
middle of Aisle seven, right at the toy store. And
this wasn't disappointment. This was a hissy fit wrapped in
gold trim, dipped in entitlement and sprinkled with bougie Irish
(23:53):
fairy dust, is what this was. You've got Marcus Freeman,
the coach at Notre Dame, who didn't just opened the
door to this modern brain rod. He rolled out the
red carpet and fully embraced it.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
In fact, he's literally Marcus Freeman, the fighting of ours
coach is cuddling with the brain rod.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's extra soft Sharman. That's the culture at its peak,
at its peak. And what Notre Dame is doing here
by saying we're not going to the coach for play,
We're not gonna play it all. This is a kin
to like the NBA players are running the All Star
Game because they don't give a crap, or the NFL
Pro Bowl, which doesn't even get played anymore because the
NFL players don't give a crap. So I guess Notre
(24:33):
Dame based on what I was reading, if I have
it right, as I understand it, they were gonna go
to the pop Tard Bowl, and I guess that doesn't
mean anything, so why bother showing up. I don't know
about you, but I was raised on pop tarts. I
would love to go to the pop Tart Bowl. I would.
I would be so happy.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
To get as many pop tarts as I could buy,
all the different flavors.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I would rather go to the pop Tart Bowl than
some of these other fu gaisy bowls that Notre Dame
would have played it. But here's the problem this is
I know it's a me problem not and you probably
support this because you're.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Like, oh, you're such a boomer expecting people to show
up and do their job. What's wrong with you? Mallor?
But my point is this, right, it's the modern zeitgeist
of the time, right, boom, there it is, right, and
the Irish they lost head to head to Miami. Who
was week one? They played headhead In my life, that's
always the typebreaker, that's always the first type breaker. All
(25:26):
things are even the first tiebreaker, going back to medieval times.
I'm not talking about that old restaurant that used to
be right, I don't even know they're still around, But
that's how long it goes, and everyone's acting like someone
stole grandma's silverware because Notre Dame did not get it. No,
I thought they were gonna get in because they're Notre Dame.
They've got the brand, they're big money for college football,
(25:48):
they're national team. I mean, it's like, if you're a Catholic,
you gotta like Notre Dame. If not, people look down
upon you. Right, and yet they didn't get in. But
I go the tiebreaker thing, I have no issue with it.
It played a head to hege. It was week one.
Well that counts, it counts. And this athletic, therector, Pete
pavaqua Is, he's no relation to the baseball guy. Right,
(26:11):
there's no way I would doubt it. But anyway, Pee
Ravaqua talking about being punched in the stomach from all
this and police, come on, now, come on, that's not
a gut punch. Okay, it's not. That's a self inflicted
meltdown is what that is. And you know how real
programs handle adversity. It's a teachable moment, right, you act
(26:32):
like an adult. You go out there and play and
you live your life and you say, screw that, this
is our last chance to play together as a unit.
We're gonna go out there and have a great time,
and that's that. And instead Notre Dames like, ah, now,
we're gonna curl up and we're gonna be like a
shopping cart. We're gonna be like a shopping cart with
a wobbly wheel, shaking and squeaking and veering off course
(26:54):
the moment you need it to go straight, the moment
you needed to go straight.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
And skipping the bowl. You're not making some kind of
bold statement.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You're not. You're announcing the world you're weak. You're announcing
the world you surrender because you're a bunch of cowards.
That's Notre Dame football. That's the fighting Irish.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
You planted the surrender flag and you claimed it's school pride.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
My fat ass at school pride. Come on, it's so stupid.
And there are some that are, of course defending Notre Dame,
because no matter what Notre Dame does, there are people
that will defend them. But that was ridiculous. That was
absolutely rediculous. Right now, speaking ridiculous, we go to baseball.
I was gonna do a rant about Jeff can't getting
into the Hall of Fame. I chose not to do
that because I saw this story. I thought, well, this
is even more ridiculous. I never thought Jeff Can't was
(27:38):
a Hall of Famer when he was playing for the
Giants of the Dodgers, he was a Hall of Fame
a hole. How crazy is it, by the way, that
Kent's gonna get into the Hall of Fame and Barry
Bonds is not in the Hall of Fame. Dumb, du dumb,
dumb dumb anyway, So the Pirates, a team that Barry
used to play for, the Pirates have not tried to
win pretty much my entire life. So the Pirates have
decided to make a run at a big time free agent.
(28:01):
You see this. The Pirates have made free agent designated
hitter Kyle Schwarber Swarbs a four year offer. According to
a report that went viral on Sunday night behind a
paywall at the Old Gray Lady The Athletic, the offer
is for more than one hundred million dollars for Kyle Schwarber,
(28:24):
who played for the Phillies last couple years. Question, Hey,
you explain why the dumpster fire that is the Pittsburgh
Pirates are bidding on Kyle Schwarber. All right, so this
one warms my cockles. I don't even know what to cockles,
but it warms my cockles. Right, The Pirates, who are
the baseball equivalent of a broken vending machine in the
(28:49):
very back of a Greyhound station in El Paso, Texas,
suddenly out here tossing nine figures out to Kyle Schwarber. Please, Right,
this is like one of those bedtime fairy tale type things, right,
the little small market team that could jube.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Yeah, except it absolutely can't and it won't. And every man,
woman and child knows this. It is classic Pirates cosplay,
is what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
All Right. They're not eating at Jimmy Johns, but they're
sure enjoying the free smells.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
They like the smells. You know what that smells like
it they're sniffing.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Around a big ticket player, and they're not actually gonna
buy the player.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Instead, they're gonna make sure to let everyone know this
is the we tried offer. We really really tried, We
really wanted the player. We gave it the old college try.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Right. The Pirates are the guy at the bar who's
buying a drink for the hottest supermodel at the bar.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Right, The most beautiful woman in the world at the
bar and the Pirates are buying the drink for knowing
full well she's not leaving with them.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
She's leaving with the quarterback. She's not leaving with them.
It's form of generosity, and it's like giving someone a
coupon for ten percent off expired yogurt. Wasn't that nice?
Isn't it? Schwarber's agent and you know they love this, right,
and we try to play the game. Who leaked the story? Well,
this is either the pirates or Schwarber's agent or both,
because it makes the Pirates look good because they're trying
(30:19):
to sign a free agent, makes schwarburst him like he's
so in demand. Even these crap bag teams are trying
to get him. Now, whoever leaked? These baseball scribes carry
the water for the agents, and they've been doing this
since dial up internet, since AOL, And suddenly Schwarbur's price,
you know, you figure it's gonna get higher and higher.
Now he's never gonna go to a team like Pittsburgh.
(30:40):
But the fact that he could, the fact that the
Reds were mentioned last week. You know, the teams that
are usually not bidding on these players, and so it
shows you that's gonna cost more for the teams like
the Red Sox and the Phillies, the good teams that
are supposedly in on Schwarber and Pittsburgh knows they're not
(31:01):
going to get him, but they also know that they
can flash this around as pr Hey, look we're trying
they we're willing to spend money. Yeah, we're not your
daddy's Pittsburgh Pirates. And then I'm willing to buy, of course,
a yacht. If someone knocks a few zeros off, I
will buy the yacht. If it's I don't know, free,
(31:23):
I'll buy it. I'll give you a couple of bull
give it two bucks for it. How about that two bucks?
They're really trying to get above the payroll. That one
of the theories is there the Baseball's hell bent in
the next labor negotiation of having a salary cap floor.
And now I'm against both because I think it's just
for gayzy. I've been through that before. However, the theory
(31:45):
is the Pirates and some of these cheaper teams are
going to try to spend a little more money. That way,
when they go to the negotiating table, they can say, well, look,
the A's signed this guy, the Pirates signed that guy,
Tampa Bay and the Marlins signed this guy, and so
they'll try it. They can make that argument that the
zero chance, zero chance times fake effort equals Pirates baseball, right,
(32:07):
the zero chan fake effort. That's the Pirates in a
nuts you all right, final point to the NFL. We
go now the NFL Draft. We ain't here talking about
the draft. Not a game, not a game. We in
here talking about draft. Well because of the results on
Sunday with the Tennessee Titans taking down the Cleveland Browns
and the New Orleans Saints up ending Tampa Bay, both
(32:30):
getting upset wins on your NFL weekend, that means moving
on up to a penhouse on the upper east side.
The New York Giants have moved up and they are
at the very top. The Giants are on the clock
and they are in position if they lose out to
have the number one in the pick in the draft,
(32:53):
and the Raiders right now would have the number two
pick in the draft. So the Raiders would be at
number two, which is just per for the Raiders. This
is a draft that does not feature an elite level quarterback.
In fact, there are no quarterbacks worthy of being drafted
number one overall, so that means the Raiders probably will
end up with a number one pick. However, the story
here is the crying. There's no crying. Oh yes there is.
(33:18):
Tennessee and New Orleans fans upset. Oh my god, why
did we win the game? Oh my, you're messing up
my draft plans. You're messing up my late April plans.
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
All?
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Question? Should Titans and Saints fans be upset that they
won their team's won games over the weekend and are
now out of top pig status in the NFL draft?
So my response would be to stop it, to zip it,
give me a break. I want to puke in my
(33:48):
mouth when I see this kind of stuff, I want
to puke in my mouth. Enough. That is the junk
food thinking of a franchise addicted to scratcher tickets. Right,
the end of draft is the biggest carnival hustle coing around.
Don't fall for it. It's the guy on the boardwalk
telling you come on up. It's the ring toss, right,
(34:10):
It's easy for you. Just try it, try it, Come on,
come on do it again. You can do it. You
can do it. Watch I'll do it.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
You can do it, and people line up and their
suckers every year.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It's a total boon. Doggle boone doggle. Living for draft
position is a loser mentality. You don't tank your way
to success. You play to win the game. Thank you
very much, Herm Edwards.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
You worry about the draft in March, not in week
fourteen of the regular season.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Draft picks are a renewable resource. They regenerate every spring.
Like Crabgrass and Tennessee. I'll give you an example. How
ridiculous is is Tennessee had the number one pick this
past year. Right, they got cam Ward out of Miami
and Washington State, and he was billed as a plug
and play player, just right out of the box. You
(35:01):
put him out there and play them. So they put
him out there pretty much right out of the box.
How's that working out? Cam Ward is the thirty seventh
ranked quarterback. More like plug and prey for the Tennessee Titans.
How about the Giants? The Giants last year they needed
an edge rusher. They drafted Abduall Carter out of Penn
State at number three, and if abduall Carter was a
(35:22):
cartoon character, he'd beat Garfield. He loves lasagna and taking
naps during team meetings. He does not like mondays either,
And so I believe I go with the less sneed
mantra f them picks, f them picks. And he wasn't
wrong when he said that. You know it's you obviously
have picks every year, but you don't worry about them
(35:44):
in the middle of the NFL season. My guy, It
just I see these reactions like people are losers.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
You're all just going to lose forever. You're whining about
draft picks, and what's the point? Just why don't even
watch the game? Just wait until the draft. Just I'm
a fan of football. I only watched the draft. I
only watched the trades in the offseason. I won't watch
the games and just build castles in the sky and
don't worry about watching the games and just hope they
lose every game.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
But don't watch. And that's that.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
The Seattle Seahawks won again this weekend, but before the game,
there was a report that the Seahawks could make a
shocking move with Sam Donald after the season. They're only
like tied to him from one season. Do you think
if they don't get to the super Bowl that they'll
get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Well, they should, because you're not gonna win with Sam
darn everyone knows it. He'll you know, he's fine in
the regular season. He was terrible in the FRODA and
he saw this game coup. He was horrific in the
first half, and then the second half he flipped the
switch and was great. Yeah, there's absolutely a a world
where Sam Donald is not the quarterback of Seattle next season.
There's no guarantees can be.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Back next Alabama made it into the college football Playoffs
and a lot of people didn't think they should. They
are the first three lost team to make it, Ben,
do you think they should be in there?
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Well, I'm there for the story. I have a talk
show to do, so they're good for talk radio. So
I like Notre Dame. I would rather see Notre Dame
is good for what I do.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
So yes, Next, Jahn Morant is getting linked to the
Miami Heat. Do you think they'll trade him?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay? So Jahn Morant found trouble in Memphis. Can you
imagine what he will do in Miami? Coop? My god?
He might not even play in the games in Miami.
He has so much to do there. God, how we
do pass? If you met Dahn Moran in Miami? Oh

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
