Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks for listening to the best of the Ben Mallers

Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and to find your local

(00:23):
This is the best of the Ben Maller Show on
Fox Sports Radio. I assume you checked it out. But
with ten minutes and fifty four seconds remaining in the
first half of the early game on divisional weekend Sunday,
the Houston Texans had built up which seemed to be
(00:46):
an unbeatable point toy at a twenty four to nothing lead.
Insurmountable twenty four to nothing lead. However, they had to
play the rest of the game, and that was the problem.
And it was a hot mess, and it happened right away.
It was a volcano erupting for Kansas City. And if
(01:07):
you didn't watch the game and you maybe heard about it,
we'll talk you through it here. The Chiefs stormed all
the way back in the second quarter. They end up
becoming the first team in postseason history to win a
game by twenty points where they trailed by twenty points
during the same gap, the same game they trailed by
twenty four points, they won by twenty. What a national embarrassment.
(01:31):
What a laughing stock the Houston Texas. This is a
tough time for Houston sports. You got the Astros, bang bang,
you got that going on. You got the Rockets who
have to get by the Clippers in the in the
Western Conference. They're good luck on that. Patrick Mahomes three
hundred twenty one yards passing, averaged over nine yards per attempt,
(01:52):
five touchdowns, no interceptions. He did have a fumble, but
it was recovered in a passer rating of one hundred
and thirty four point six on the day. So Kansas
City is now one game away from getting back to
the super Bowl, and Andy Reid could get back to
the Super Bowl lost with Philadelphia back in the day.
(02:14):
That was the Donovan McNabb puke game. So if the
Chiefs get to the Super Bowl, and as long as
Mahomes doesn't vomit in the huddle, that would be an
improvement over Andy Reid's last trip to the Super Bowl.
So they will play host to the Tennessee Titans as
a favorite, a home favorite by over a touchdown the
(02:35):
Chiefs to get to South Florida. So congratulations to Kansas City.
They come from behind victory. But we know on television,
I was talking to a friend of mine, Brothers. TV
loves winners. They like winners, right, who do they interview
right after the other side of my friend, the old
newspaper guy they back when newspapers mattered, and you go
interview the winning coach. No, the better stories in the
(02:59):
losing locker room. No, No, I want losers. Give me losers.
Give me teams that choke. Give me the teams that
are pathetic, despicable. Mama Lukes, those are the teams I
want to talk about on the radio. Those are my teams.
I relate to them. I'm a loser. I relate to losers.
(03:19):
So the Houston Texans, All right, now, the obvious question,
and we will address it right now. Should the Houston
Texans fire Bill O'Brien after that performance in the postseason
one thousand percent period? Hardstock? Now to expand on that,
(03:40):
You've got ride a bicycle, lightweight and treading water, and
we will combine all these things together now, ay, Bill
O'Brien should have already been let go several years ago.
He's been hanging on by a threat. Now he's got
some more time because the owner died in Houston. But
he should be dunskis. He should have been fired when
(04:02):
they got back to Houston. Now it's the middle of
the night, so maybe he was fired. But this is
a fireable offense. Not only should he lose his job,
Bill O'Brien, but Bill Kauer should also be fired at CBS.
I don't care if he's in the Hall of Fame
or not. Did you see this? This is one of
the great broadcasting attrocities. Somewhere Howard co sal is turning
(04:25):
over in his grave spinning the old sportscaster from back
in the day. Because moments after the game on national television,
Bill Bill Kaller, right, was rig galing praise on Bill O'Brien.
I thought, maybe, wait a mite. I was like, maybe
I'm in the twilight zone. This can't be going on.
He said he wanted to give O'Brien credit because he
(04:49):
had the Texans ready to play. Is the quote from
Bill Kaller on CBS. Boo fricking, who what? Kind of
peril of the mentioned. Does this whack of doodle livid
I would retract his Hall of Fame nomination on this alone.
Did Kawer even watch the game? Maybe he was in
the back watching soap operas at CBS and he didn't
(05:12):
even watch the game, or maybe he stopped watching when
it was twenty four Another but praised to Bill O'Brien
for having the team ready to play. Kawer lost so
many of those AFC championship games back in the day.
He's like, oh, this wasn't even the FC championship game.
He must have expected Houston players to get schnockered and
(05:32):
not show up to the stadium. So the fact that
they showed up to the stadium was impressive, unbelievable, It's ridiculous,
Bill Kawer, fire his ass. It's a twofer with O'Brien.
Does he think he must think Bill Cower the people
watching these games are slobbering morons, And maybe they are,
but anybody had paid attentions like whoa, you're praising a cop.
(05:56):
I mean, no coaches are supposed to all unite together,
but come on, that is not a moment for praise.
That is a moment to tear a new one to
spit roast Bill O'Brien is what should have happened. I mean,
what is that? Back to O'Brien. So Bill O'Brien was
unable to make obviously the necessary in game adjustments, that's
(06:18):
the understatement to hold on to a twenty four to
nothing lead. He made a couple of critical decisions that
add on to the argument to fire him. They were
jaw dropping up twenty four to seven. He decided it
was the right time to get cute and go for
a fake punt. Was a fourth down and four at
(06:38):
the Texans zone thirty one yard line, so they're in
their own terry. So they decided to go for a
fake trickeration there, which would have been fine if it
hadn't failed miserably. And that was right after he didn't
go for it on a fourth and one, by the way,
and the Chiefs own red zone. So instead of going
for it fourth and one in the Chiefs red zone,
(06:59):
he said to go for it on my own thirty
one yard line, and we know how that works. So
they kicked a field goal on their own end. Then
they turned the ball over on downs and three plays later,
Patrick Mahomes gets another touchdown and it's twenty four to fourteen.
So Bill O'Brien working his magic. He needed to also
later in the game, he needed to take a time
(07:20):
out to think about punting. He was gonna he was
gonna punt, and he had to think about it. He
decided not to punt down seventeen points in the fourth
quarter of the playoff game, and O'Brien's maybe we should
put the ball away here, huh, gotta work on our
special teams for next season. That almost completes the Bengo
card of failure for Bill O'Brien. Now, Brian, you know
(07:43):
what he reminded me. He was like a father teaching
a child how to ride a bicycle. Right, You run
alongside your kid, you study the little bike there, and
you give a push right in the back. Look at
the kid gout. But in this case he was pushing
along Kansas City and the Chiefs offense and Patrick Mahomes
(08:04):
and Andy Reid and all those guys to come back.
He was giving them a push. Unreal. I don't know
the town of Houston, the Texans fans on the revolt fire.
This guy don't buy tickets don't buy merchandise till this
a hole is gone Bill O'Brien. Now part B of this,
(08:24):
does the fact that Bill O'Brien's the village idiot, does
that give Deshaun Watson a pardon from any culpability in
this loss? And the answer, of course is absolutely not.
Anybody that's educated on football that watched this game knows
that Shaun Watson was a big part of the problem
in this game. Because this was supposed to be a
(08:47):
red letter day for Deshaun Watson. Right, quarterback defenders think
that this is all on Bill O'Brien, and he gets
no blame, get he give him a pardon, Give Deshaun
Watson a pardon, not on their show. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
pardon none for Deshaun Watson. Now, the constant lament against
(09:09):
Deshaun Watson is that, and we've talked about it here.
He's bipolar. He can be the greatest quarterback in the
world for a game and then he'll come back and
suck against Jacksonville and get outplayed by Gardner Minshew. The
other argument in this game is, well, you don't play defense. Now,
theoretically that's true, Deshaun Watson does not play defense. However,
(09:31):
Watson was also a no show after the first quarter. Now,
you will not hear this kind of commentary on any
of the mainstream football media. They are all lapdogs. You
only hear that here on our show. Deshaun Watson is
a headliner and a protected interest among the football media elite,
and bey'all. He was great at Clemson. He's amazing. He
(09:53):
gives back to charity. Meanwhile, these kind of things keep
popping up. I cannot take Deshaun Watson seriously with these
kind of performances because they happened all the time. This
was not a one off situation. He is the ringleader
of the Texans offense. And while he certainly played like
a heavyweight, I'll give him this for fifteen minutes, right,
(10:15):
you can also get your car insurance from Geico in
fifteen minutes. He was a lightweight for forty five minutes.
Watson was not only a quarterback, he was mostly useless
after the first quarter. Now, what's my evidence? Go to
the stats. First quarter seven of eight, seventy five yards,
two touchdowns, no interceptions, passer rating of one hundred and
forty five one hundred and forty five point three passer
(10:37):
rating for Deshaun Watson in the first quarter. How about
the rest of the game. How do you do? Don't ask?
Watson had twenty complete passes, average seven point one yards
per attempt, no touchdown passes, He had no interceptions, he
was sacked three times, had a passer rating the second, third,
and fourth quarter combined of seventy seven point one. Seventy
(11:01):
seven point one was the man's passer rating after the
first quarter. And we're supposed to say he doesn't have
no culpability. Deshaun Watson. Really, I'd like to have you
as a teacher. I mean, I got a lot of numbers.
I mean I can explain it to you differently. Deshaun
Watson was a shooting star for fifteen minutes and then
he took a ride in the vomit comment the rest
(11:23):
of the game. How about that? All right? You gotta understand,
all right? Last word, So the Texans franchise, it really
depends on the fan base. I believe if the fan
base rises up and there's anarchy and chaos among the
Texans fans, there will be a change. Do I expect
that to happen? No? I don't expect that to happen.
You could have got rid of this guy a couple
of years ago. The Texas franchise is going to continue
(11:45):
to tread water and spin their wheels in the kiddy
pool of the NFL. All right, they have enough talent
to make the playoffs, but not enough talent or enough moxie.
I should say, to go on this extend, did run
like the Tennessee Titans have moxie. They got there's something
(12:05):
about it that Texans don't have. They were lucky to
be Buffalo and Josh Allen didn't puke all over the field.
They don't win that game. Watson was a bum for
three quarters in that game. I mean, why don't we
have to Deshaun Watson's good for one out of four quarters?
Apparently in these playoff games, one out of four that's it, right,
(12:27):
So I would expect this cycle to continue next season
in Houston, Rinse, Washington, repeat, right, Bill O'Brien, he should
be whacked. But it's unlikely. The Texans put all of
their chips. They pushed them all in the middle of
the table to make the big trades. No, I have
no problem trading future draft capital. I don't. But you've
(12:50):
got to get dividends. Those trades have to pay dividends,
and I don't see a lot of that from the
Houston Texas. Laramie Tunzel coming over from the Miami Dolphins
was supposed to solve Deshaun Watson from getting sacked every
other play, and it all Deshaun's ability to read defense.
I wonder what he's doing. I mean, because they they've
improved the offensive line, but Laramie tunzil and that, you know,
(13:14):
not exactly the second coming of Orlando Pace and Anthony
Munios with the Dolphins this year. And not too many
pancake blocks. A lot of pancakes consumed, but not too
many pancake blocks from the Texans offensive line, you know
what I'm saying. All Right, I mean, well, let's hear
from Bill O'Brien quickly. We'll hear a couple of these.
Have Bill O'Brien the fake punt we talked about there,
(13:37):
whether that was the big turning point game that really
pushed Kansas City to get right back in the game there,
and here's O'Brien saying why he did the dumb thing
that he did. We felt like, you know, we work,
gonna able to punt it too many times today, you know,
we felt like that we had to try to manufacture
some points, manufacture some yards and just didn't work out,
you know, just something we decided to do, but the
(13:58):
play didn't work. These games were always you know, games
are momentum, momentum swings um. You know, we had momentum
at that point. Just felt, you know, we were gonna
try to make a play there and it just didn't work.
Come why did you give up the momentum? If you
had the momentum, why would you give up the momentum.
You should hold on to the momentum. Good coaches hold
on to the momentum. Why would you give up the momentum?
Why did Kansas City not have the momentum at the
(14:18):
start of the game. Explain the momentum If both teams
want the momentum, how did Kansas City not have the momentum?
And why did Houston have the momentum? Oh, that's right.
It's a made up, artificial, bull pucky nonsense that the
media came up with. And these dumb dumbs that play
sports repeated all the time momentum. They had all the momentum.
(14:39):
We had the momum. Yeah, we're up twenty four nothing.
Explain momentum to me. I'm not that dumb. Explain it
to me like I'm five years old. Okay, so you're
up twenty four nothing. You have all the momentum. The
other team comes back, Well, how's that possible? If one
team has all the momentum? How is that effing possible?
I will hear from more. Will pause with it cause
(14:59):
I am on time out to buy the clock for
the clock plausibly all about the clock. So we'll hear
more from Bill O'Brien and also to Shaun Watson, because
the better story is in the losing locker room. If
you would like to be part. Before we give out
the number they will spend the wheel of producers, let's
find out who's producing the show tonight. See you here.
I'm going with lead A Lapp. I'm going with lead
(15:19):
A Lap. It could be Bo Benson, could be back
Burr Shinger. Oh, it's Cooper Loop has decided to join
us today. Welcome in, Coop. Good to meet you. I
hope you do well and we hope you make it here.
This is a big trial period this week, Coopy. Thank
you yeah, so happy to be back. Honor to have
(15:39):
you back. You're literally on your deathbed. Last week. It
was did you have your gallbladder taking out? How was
it painful? Painful? Yeah, it's a painful procedure. Yeah, it
is absolutely painfully. Kept you in the hospital for a
couple of extra days. I'm glad you're back. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays
at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports
Radio and the iHeartRadio app. So, the NFL playoffs now
(16:03):
down to the final four and the Seattle Seahawks, who
at one point we're playing for the number one seed
in the NFC. Then they couldn't beat Alligator Arms Murray
the umpa loompa got him, and then they lost at
home to the forty nine Ers. The forty nine Ers
actually didn't win that game. The Seahawks PR department lost
that game. The incompetence, the ineptitude of the Seattle Seahawks
(16:26):
PR department, and I can't wait for all those people
to be fired that were responsible for locking me out
of that stadium. They all deserved to lose their jobs.
So the Seahawks went out they spotted the Packers an
eighteen point first half lead. Did they come back to
win at Lambeau Field on a frigid day at Lambo, No,
they did not. They did not. Davante Adams tearing up
(16:50):
the practice squad secondary of the Seahawks eight catches for
one hundred and sixty yards, had a couple of touchdowns,
Aaron Jones keeping up with the Jones he had a
couple of scores. And by the time it was done,
the Packers had pushed back against the Seahawks twenty eight,
twenty three, and they are back in the NFC Championship game,
third time in six years. It seems like it's been longer,
(17:12):
but third time in six years. But the better story
not on the Green Bay side. Victory has a thousand fathers,
But defeat is an orphan, and that defeat belongs to
the good people from Seattle. So let's discuss the question
what the hell happened to the Seattle Seahawks at Lambau
in particular the first half of this game. Now my take,
(17:34):
you've got Albert Einstein, canoe and many and petty, and
we will combine those things and will line them up,
knock them down like Dominos not to lead off with
The Seattle Seahawks roster has been ravaged by injuries, and
that is not an excuse, that is a reality, specifically
in the backfield. Seattle, who has been a team that
(17:55):
at best is balanced, but really is a running team.
They lost the backs Chris Carson and Rashad Penny both
landed on injured reserve in the span of ten days.
We know what happened in December, late December. So Pete
Carroll goes into his role at Decks and he said, oh,
I need a running back. Hey, Marshawn, you want to
(18:15):
play for the Seahawks again, calls Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn's like,
I don't know. I'm busy as a bartender at the
Raider game. I don't know if I can make it.
And one thing leads to another, and there he is,
right there, mars Shawn Lynch. So the Seahawks I believe
lost in large part to the Packers because of stubborn nostalgia.
(18:36):
Now what do I mean by that? Brian Schottenheimer, the
offensive coordinator, and the Seattle Seahawks made a concerted effort
to feed the beast mode right that blew up in
their hands. Marshawn Lynch. Two point zero is actually the
yards per carry for Marshawn Lynch in his return to
the Seattle Seaks. He ran twelve times for twenty six
(18:58):
yards two touchdowns. That's an average. You have two point
two yards per carry. His version or this version rather Marshawn.
It reminded me of c. J. Anderson. He looks like c. J. Anderson,
the butterball turkey for the Rams in last year's postseason.
But c J. Anderson actually had a very good game
against the Dallas Cowboys. But Pete Carroll made a big
(19:20):
misstep in bringing back beast mode. There had to be
some guy out of the Canadian Football League that you
could have brought in that would have been better than
Marshawn Lynch. And then, to compound the mistake, they continued
to give Marshawn the football way too many times. And
as Albert Einstein taught the world years ago, insanity is
(19:43):
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
different results. And he handed the ball off to a
washed up running back, and you expect, all of a
sudden he's gonna turn into Emmett Smith in his prime.
Probably not gonna happen. Probably not gonna happen. Now further,
Russell Wilson, we know Russell had champagne wishes and caviar
dreams for the Seattle Seahawks here in the postseason. The
(20:06):
Seahawks had been doing a high wire act all year, right,
I mean, and I listen full transparency if you listen
to the podcast the fifth Hour Benny versus the Penny.
I expected them to come into green Bay and to
win the game. I considered the Packers to be a
similar opponent. I was not in press. The Packers looked
(20:26):
to me like more of a ten or eleven win
team than a thirteen win team. I feel like they're both.
These teams are in the same boat. Obviously, my analysis
didn't happen. Russell Wilson, though, when you look at the
Seahawks team and the lack of wow factor players on offense,
Russell Wilson has a future on HGTV and because he
(20:50):
must be a big fan of DIY do it yourself
home improvement projects. Because Russell Wilson's in't like a solitary
state with the Seattle Seahawks offense, Seattle, they got the quarterback,
and Russell's in a canoe. He's paddling his own canoe,
is what he's doing. There. There's no one else in
the canoe other than them. Now, dk Metcalf, who he praised,
(21:11):
he had an amazing game against Philadelphia, against that rag
tag secondary in Philly. Dk Metcalf looked like Randy Moss.
He looked like a man among boys in Philly, and
he was mostly held in check. In Wisconsin, he had
four catches for fifty nine yards, did not get into
the end zone, and he was unable to match Davante Adams,
(21:33):
who played the way that dk Metcalf had played the
previous game with those eight catches and a hundred and
sixty yards in two touchdowns. Now, Tyler Lockett did put
up big numbers, but that was it. There was nobody else.
The Seahawks playmakers collectively took a dump right at midfield
there and they brought a water gun for Russell Wilson.
(21:54):
That's all they had. They had no real ammunition. They
didn't even have a cap gun. A cap gun would
have been better than a water gun, but they didn't
have that all right, last thing, so Aaron Rodgers was
so so you're feeling me on that, Aaron Rodgers, so
so in this particularly. I know you're not supposed to
say that, right you protected interest in all that. Of course,
(22:16):
it doesn't matter. This is one thing I've learned. This
is one lesson I've learned from all this. It does
not matter how he plays now. The reason I say
that is because the TV people continue to give him
a nice back massage Aaron Rodgers, no matter how inefficient
he is. Now you go down further here, if you
(22:39):
look at the quarterbacks that are left, and you've you've
only got four teams. So you've got Ryan Tannehill, Patrick Mahomes,
Jimmy Garoppolo, who didn't do much anything against the Minnesota
Vikings forty nine ers one not because of Jimmy Garoppolo
at all. And then also you've got the final team
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. But up the final four
(23:01):
on my big board here. Now that Lamar Jackson is
out of the playoffs, Aaron Rodgers gets to wear the crown.
He's the most slobbered over quarterback left in the postseason.
Tell me I'm wrong, right, He gets the manny and
the petty from the talking heads, no matter what he does.
It's essentially a spinning match to see who can give
the most compliments to Aaron Rodgers when the Packers are
(23:24):
on television. Rodgers was actually worse as the game progressed.
People like to talk about that. In fact, in the
fourth quarter, as Seattle is coming from behind, closing the
margin against the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers had a
passer rating in the fourth quarter of sixty sixty. He
had more in completions than completions. He averaged less than
(23:45):
seven yards in attempt six and a half yards per attempt.
But I'm not supposed to say that, right, Yes, get
back to that. Got to get back to that. We
often talk about this famous movie from back in the
nineteen sixties. But it's true that when the legend becomes
the fact, you print the legend, and the legend is
Aaron Rodgers is a gun slinger and a great quarterback,
(24:07):
and even when he doesn't play well, you still have
to celebrate Aaron Rodgers and praise Aaron Rodgers and kisses
tuck us is what you've got to do. So they
just evangelize the greatness of number twelve. But the Packers
are on borrowed time. They are. I mean, they get
no style points even in this game. Now they're heading
(24:29):
into a pit of vipers against the forty nine ers,
although the Vikings didn't really give up much of a
fight in that game. But that's the NFC Championship game there.
I guess we don't have any any post game at
all from that game. All right, anyway, we'll take your
phone calls if you'd like to be part. Not on
my screen eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
(24:50):
seven seven nine nine six sixty three six nine. We're
also on Twitter at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller.
You can be part of the festivity here and we
will take your telephone telephone calls and the Facebook page
Ben Maller show. I did a nice Facebook Q and A.
We had some fun with that. What was really asked,
(25:10):
Ben was what we did at the I think about
Friday a little time on Friday, the last bed. Everyone's
very nice on facebooks. Where people are nice in Twitter
is where people are douchebags. I don't know about Instagram.
I'm kind of new to Instagram. I'm going to become
a booty model on Instagram. I think that's the way
to go. If I want to get a lot of
(25:31):
followers and have some some power on the gram, then
I believe I need to become a booty model. And
there I see you a little bit more active on Instagram. Yeah,
I'm trying trying to. You know, It's I've had the
page and I haven't really used it, and it's I
feel like it's time. I feel like it's time to
that enough people are on it. I used to think
Instagram was just for guys to kind of creep on
(25:52):
beautiful women and beautiful women to make money off being
beautiful women and you know, just sell the fact that
they've got certain assets that men find attractive and all that.
But what enough people are on there now I feel
like it's worth my time. So I will make a
concerted effort at least a few times randomly to post
messages on Instagram. Excited about that all right? Now. We
(26:16):
talked earlier about the game in Houston, and many people
in the militia were like, what's going on? Why have
we not heard from Chris in Houston? Why is he
not called? Well, he didn't call in. He should have called.
It should have been the first call it's a bad
job by him, but he has called in now a man,
let's hear him defend. I mean something about Houston, NFL,
(26:37):
the Oilers. I remember when I was very young watching
the Oilers blow a massive lead with Warren Mold against
Buffalo early in the morning in Orchard Park, New York.
And now not so early. It was in the afternoon.
But the Houston Texans said, hey, Oilers were not as
good as you because we weren't down thirty two points
(26:57):
or had a thirty two point lead, but we gave
up a twenty four point lead, and we only did
it in fifteen minutes. So there you go. Let's go
to Chris and Houston. Defend your squad. Christopher, go ahead,
defend your Bill O'Brien, defend you to Sean Watson, go ahead,
defend Doby. You haven't listened to my show because I
don't defend them bums. I'm told you it was embarrassing
(27:19):
that they won that game against Buffalo in the first place.
Bill O'Brian should have been left in the turn back
in Kansas City. I mean, what are you doing eating
the malle of chicken things or something? He got? He
got grease on it on the place sheet or something.
I mean, come on, man, for the first time in
his life, he found his place sheet in the first quarters,
and then he lost it as a second quarters and
then in Romeo Carnell went straight old timers. But you
(27:41):
know what, at least we didn't get shut out in
the Super Bowl. Rams didn't get shut out three leagues
and third quarter. Rams didn't get shut out in the
Super Bowl. And at least we didn't give up six
or two points and put the record up and only
put the three points like Miami Dolphins did. So you're
looking for You're looking for positives is what you look before. Well,
you know, you always got a little positive. When you
(28:02):
get you get just embarrassed like that being. I mean
we got there's no positive. There's no franchises an embarrassment.
They're a blight on the NFL landscape. Is a fraud.
I mean the whole thing. They had to blow the
whole thing up. I'll get rid of the Texans and
the Astros a twofo, all right, bank bang, get rid
of all of them, all of them, Throw them all over.
(28:26):
What Rams actually showed up in the second quarter in
that game, unlike the Houston, Texans. How about that. There
you go. I'll tell you what, Jared Golf is at
least one an NFC championship. That's more than the shout Watsons. Guy,
what's that? Twenty twenty, twenty twenty, it's gonna happen. Hey,
(28:49):
you were you were like you were like four years
old when the Rockets won. Probably time the Rockets, I remember,
I don't know, I remember that. I've remember that barn.
That's the only thing I got. Remember you Ordist Thorpe
fan or something like that. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, sure,
sure got Rob Come on sil Vernon Madden macwille come on, man, Vernon.
(29:16):
Vernon Maxwell was crazy. I liked it. He attacked fans
in the crowd. It was nuts. Vernon. I mean I
got I got cursed out by my wife, okay, because
I told her it was gonna be okay, wet us
go to church down. It didn't did it all just
with the hill and then you know, I got cursed
out to be fine. I mean, I mean they put
up a shot. I mean, if you well, let me
(29:37):
tell you something. Point. I feel bad for you. I
don't want to help you out. I know how it feels.
To lose a game, you know, not like that. I mean,
I've been through this a lot, so I think what
Bill O'Brien how to do is meet with a J.
Hinch and try to figure out maybe some signs they
can use to help them out, maybe bang bang whistles,
something to help out and some kind secret buzzers. He's
(30:02):
not going to be fire being not call McNair doesn't
have balls. He's stuck in the office, still winding, and
his daddy died. Wow, that's a low blow. Are they
going to go out? And then? Well they got that
first round pick, so it'll be fine. You got that
first round Well, that's right, the Dolphins have the first
round pick in the Texas because they traded for ween
(30:24):
smoking left tackle. You forgot the great Laramie Tunzil. That's right,
great Armie Tonsil, straight Garfige. You think he still has
that gas mask, that that famous gas mask from World
War Two? You think he still has that in his possession? No,
he probably got a gas room. You never he's got
he probably going there. You got to you know too, Hey,
(30:47):
I understand I love the green Yeah, all right, Chris,
did your teams are following apart? But you did call in.
I unlike when the Astros lost the World Series. You
were coward, you were chicken hearted. You did not calling
that night place. What doesn't matter enough to call you?
(31:07):
Are you gonna ask you gonna be like You're gonna
be like Wen, You're gonna be like weed Man and
ask for more money? Is that what you're gonna do?
Huh No, I don't I don't need weed Man was
begging on Twitter again. You wanted me to send them
money on Twitter? What a scull back. I would never
work for you. Yeah, all right, thank you, Christa. I
gotta go. You called in, and I'll give you credit
(31:31):
for if it's what the militia wanted. But you did.

During the CBS pregame show on Saturday, Bill Kawer was
surprised with the news that's shocking. Yes, that was a surprise.
Jimmy Johnson not a suprise. Yeah, that's true. He'll be
getting inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. Ben,
Do you think Kawer is deserving of the spot. I don't.
(32:11):
I don't think anybody's deserving in the Hall of Fame though,
so I'm the wrong person to ask. Hey, Bill Kauer
that he had very good teams in Pittsburgh. He won
a bunch of regular season games. But as my memory
and my memory is foggy, but as I recall, Cowers,
teams regularly underachieved in the postseason. A lot of media
and talking heads using some revisionist history, but I believe
(32:32):
Bill Kauer was in six AFC title games. His teams
were two and four in the AFC Championship Game, and
he got to two Super Bowls. His team's one and one.
But really, that one win is tarnished because anybody that's
old enough to have watched that Super Bowl win by Pittsburgh,
the win is tainted by the officiating. They were in
the back pocket of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks got
(32:54):
hosed in that Super Bowl, so that's a tainted win.
It's kind of like saying the Astros winning the twenty
seven Team World Series is legit when they it'll be
gotten gains right. In the case of the Astros, they
cheated with bang bang and whistles and all that. Well,
the Steelers had the referees on the payroll and beat.
The Hall of Fame is obviously subjective. It's also very political.
(33:15):
I think we learned that here is a popularity contest.
Bill Kauer has a lot of very important people that
like him. That gives him clout right. He kept his
nose clean. He's obviously a dummy considering what he said
about Bill O'Brien after the game, praising Bill O'Brien five
minutes after Houston blew a twenty four nothing lead, one
of the great choke jobs in NFL history, and the
(33:35):
broadcaster on TV's praising him. He has provided I would
say mediocre commentary on CBS for many many years here
and now he's rewarded for a lifetime of service to football,
But no, I don't put him in the Hall of
Fame next. In an interview over the weekend, Danny Ames
told a local paper that he doesn't feel any urgency
to trade his young assets to get some veteran help. Yeah, Ben,
(33:57):
do you think these Celtics are better offstanding. Pat Well,
I don't believe Danny Age. I know Ange doesn't like
to make trades, but I don't believe it. You look
at the Eastern Conference, number one, it is wide open.
Milwaukee's the top dog, but they're a beatable team. You
look at the top teams and they are not invincible
in the East. The Celtics don't have the star power
the Sixers and the Bucks have, but they've got a
(34:19):
bunch of really good similar players and the second Danny Ainge.
You look at the Celtics er. Danny Ainge does not
need to trade for a headline and the Celtics don't
need a core player they I've watched a bunch of
Celtic games this year and their bench is a problem,
problematic here and if Boston during the regular season, bench
is more important than the playoffs. Typically rotations getting tightened up,
(34:42):
but you get a higher seed, you have a more
of an advantage to go further in the playoffs by
winning regular season games. But we're talking about mostly a
minor trade of some secondary draft picks to fortify the roster.
You're not looking at a total demos situation or anything
like that, So Danny Age would be nuts if he
doesn't trade for a backup player. The deadline is coming
(35:04):
up here in early February. All right, next now, Derek
Rose hasn't been an All Star since the year that
he tore his eightcl in the playoffs. That was eight
seasons ago. Now, so far this year he's been putting
up great numbers that only twenty five minutes per game? Ben,
does he deserve to be an All Star again? Sure?
Why not put him in the All Star Game? I
don't care. The All Star Games unwatchable anyway. I mean,
put him in. It doesn't matter. The NBA All Star
(35:26):
Games a total fraud. It's a farcical event. It is
so bad. How bad is it? I'll tell you, don't yell.
It's so bad that every year at All Star weekend,
I guarantee we'll do the same thing. We do a
monologue lest should just get rid of the All Star
Game or how to make the All Star Game great again?
These things happen. It's sick through. Every year the same
thing pops up. It's a wretched event, right, It's a
(35:48):
wretched event. The players don't care. The final score will
be one ninety two to one hundred eighty nine will
be the final score. Pick whoever you want to win,
it will be allie. It's like an and one game
is what it is. It's like Rutger Park in real
life with NBA players. But the way I look at
Derek Rose, Listen, it's a beauty contest, and he is
(36:08):
beautiful in the eyes of the fans. I think he's
fourth in voting for front court players last I saw
the other day thing when the voting totals came out
last week, and so he's popular with the players. And secondly,
in a world where the All Star Game actually mattered,
like if Bud Selick became the commissioner of the NBA
and that that decided home court in the NBA Finals,
then there's no way in hell Derek Rose. He had
(36:30):
to have no business being on the All Star Game
because the Pistons are I think. I think they're five
losses from the worst record in the Eastern Conference. And
Derek Rose, he's been fine shooting layups, he's shooting about
seventy percent, but on non layups, on jump shots, he's
shooting forty percent. So you know, fine, put him in.
I don't care. It doesn't matter. Nobody plays defense. Why not?
(36:52):

(00:23):
This is the best of the Ben Maller Show on
Fox Sports Radio. I assume you checked it out. But
with ten minutes and fifty four seconds remaining in the
first half of the early game on divisional weekend Sunday,
the Houston Texans had built up which seemed to be
(00:46):
an unbeatable point toy at a twenty four to nothing lead.
Insurmountable twenty four to nothing lead. However, they had to
play the rest of the game, and that was the problem.
And it was a hot mess, and it happened right away.
It was a volcano erupting for Kansas City. And if
(01:07):
you didn't watch the game and you maybe heard about it,
we'll talk you through it here. The Chiefs stormed all
the way back in the second quarter. They end up
becoming the first team in postseason history to win a
game by twenty points where they trailed by twenty points
during the same gap, the same game they trailed by
twenty four points, they won by twenty. What a national embarrassment.
(01:31):
What a laughing stock the Houston Texas. This is a
tough time for Houston sports. You got the Astros, bang bang,
you got that going on. You got the Rockets who
have to get by the Clippers in the in the
Western Conference. They're good luck on that. Patrick Mahomes three
hundred twenty one yards passing, averaged over nine yards per attempt,
(01:52):
five touchdowns, no interceptions. He did have a fumble, but
it was recovered in a passer rating of one hundred
and thirty four point six on the day. So Kansas
City is now one game away from getting back to
the super Bowl, and Andy Reid could get back to
the Super Bowl lost with Philadelphia back in the day.
(02:14):
That was the Donovan McNabb puke game. So if the
Chiefs get to the Super Bowl, and as long as
Mahomes doesn't vomit in the huddle, that would be an
improvement over Andy Reid's last trip to the Super Bowl.
So they will play host to the Tennessee Titans as
a favorite, a home favorite by over a touchdown the
(02:35):
Chiefs to get to South Florida. So congratulations to Kansas City.
They come from behind victory. But we know on television,
I was talking to a friend of mine, Brothers. TV
loves winners. They like winners, right, who do they interview
right after the other side of my friend, the old
newspaper guy they back when newspapers mattered, and you go
interview the winning coach. No, the better stories in the
(02:59):
losing locker room. No, No, I want losers. Give me losers.
Give me teams that choke. Give me the teams that
are pathetic, despicable. Mama Lukes, those are the teams I
want to talk about on the radio. Those are my teams.
I relate to them. I'm a loser. I relate to losers.
(03:19):
So the Houston Texans, All right, now, the obvious question,
and we will address it right now. Should the Houston
Texans fire Bill O'Brien after that performance in the postseason
one thousand percent period? Hardstock? Now to expand on that,
(03:40):
You've got ride a bicycle, lightweight and treading water, and
we will combine all these things together now, ay, Bill
O'Brien should have already been let go several years ago.
He's been hanging on by a threat. Now he's got
some more time because the owner died in Houston. But
he should be dunskis. He should have been fired when
(04:02):
they got back to Houston. Now it's the middle of
the night, so maybe he was fired. But this is
a fireable offense. Not only should he lose his job,
Bill O'Brien, but Bill Kauer should also be fired at CBS.
I don't care if he's in the Hall of Fame
or not. Did you see this? This is one of
the great broadcasting attrocities. Somewhere Howard co sal is turning
(04:25):
over in his grave spinning the old sportscaster from back
in the day. Because moments after the game on national television,
Bill Bill Kaller, right, was rig galing praise on Bill O'Brien.
I thought, maybe, wait a mite. I was like, maybe
I'm in the twilight zone. This can't be going on.
He said he wanted to give O'Brien credit because he
(04:49):
had the Texans ready to play. Is the quote from
Bill Kaller on CBS. Boo fricking, who what? Kind of
peril of the mentioned. Does this whack of doodle livid
I would retract his Hall of Fame nomination on this alone.
Did Kawer even watch the game? Maybe he was in
the back watching soap operas at CBS and he didn't
(05:12):
even watch the game, or maybe he stopped watching when
it was twenty four Another but praised to Bill O'Brien
for having the team ready to play. Kawer lost so
many of those AFC championship games back in the day.
He's like, oh, this wasn't even the FC championship game.
He must have expected Houston players to get schnockered and
(05:32):
not show up to the stadium. So the fact that
they showed up to the stadium was impressive, unbelievable, It's ridiculous,
Bill Kawer, fire his ass. It's a twofer with O'Brien.
Does he think he must think Bill Cower the people
watching these games are slobbering morons, And maybe they are,
but anybody had paid attentions like whoa, you're praising a cop.
(05:56):
I mean, no coaches are supposed to all unite together,
but come on, that is not a moment for praise.
That is a moment to tear a new one to
spit roast Bill O'Brien is what should have happened. I mean,
what is that? Back to O'Brien. So Bill O'Brien was
unable to make obviously the necessary in game adjustments, that's
(06:18):
the understatement to hold on to a twenty four to
nothing lead. He made a couple of critical decisions that
add on to the argument to fire him. They were
jaw dropping up twenty four to seven. He decided it
was the right time to get cute and go for
a fake punt. Was a fourth down and four at
(06:38):
the Texans zone thirty one yard line, so they're in
their own terry. So they decided to go for a
fake trickeration there, which would have been fine if it
hadn't failed miserably. And that was right after he didn't
go for it on a fourth and one, by the way,
and the Chiefs own red zone. So instead of going
for it fourth and one in the Chiefs red zone,
(06:59):
he said to go for it on my own thirty
one yard line, and we know how that works. So
they kicked a field goal on their own end. Then
they turned the ball over on downs and three plays later,
Patrick Mahomes gets another touchdown and it's twenty four to fourteen.
So Bill O'Brien working his magic. He needed to also
later in the game, he needed to take a time
(07:20):
out to think about punting. He was gonna he was
gonna punt, and he had to think about it. He
decided not to punt down seventeen points in the fourth
quarter of the playoff game, and O'Brien's maybe we should
put the ball away here, huh, gotta work on our
special teams for next season. That almost completes the Bengo
card of failure for Bill O'Brien. Now, Brian, you know
(07:43):
what he reminded me. He was like a father teaching
a child how to ride a bicycle. Right, You run
alongside your kid, you study the little bike there, and
you give a push right in the back. Look at
the kid gout. But in this case he was pushing
along Kansas City and the Chiefs offense and Patrick Mahomes
(08:04):
and Andy Reid and all those guys to come back.
He was giving them a push. Unreal. I don't know
the town of Houston, the Texans fans on the revolt fire.
This guy don't buy tickets don't buy merchandise till this
a hole is gone Bill O'Brien. Now part B of this,
(08:24):
does the fact that Bill O'Brien's the village idiot, does
that give Deshaun Watson a pardon from any culpability in
this loss? And the answer, of course is absolutely not.
Anybody that's educated on football that watched this game knows
that Shaun Watson was a big part of the problem
in this game. Because this was supposed to be a
(08:47):
red letter day for Deshaun Watson. Right, quarterback defenders think
that this is all on Bill O'Brien, and he gets
no blame, get he give him a pardon, Give Deshaun
Watson a pardon, not on their show. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
pardon none for Deshaun Watson. Now, the constant lament against
(09:09):
Deshaun Watson is that, and we've talked about it here.
He's bipolar. He can be the greatest quarterback in the
world for a game and then he'll come back and
suck against Jacksonville and get outplayed by Gardner Minshew. The
other argument in this game is, well, you don't play defense. Now,
theoretically that's true, Deshaun Watson does not play defense. However,
(09:31):
Watson was also a no show after the first quarter. Now,
you will not hear this kind of commentary on any
of the mainstream football media. They are all lapdogs. You
only hear that here on our show. Deshaun Watson is
a headliner and a protected interest among the football media elite,
and bey'all. He was great at Clemson. He's amazing. He
(09:53):
gives back to charity. Meanwhile, these kind of things keep
popping up. I cannot take Deshaun Watson seriously with these
kind of performances because they happened all the time. This
was not a one off situation. He is the ringleader
of the Texans offense. And while he certainly played like
a heavyweight, I'll give him this for fifteen minutes, right,
(10:15):
you can also get your car insurance from Geico in
fifteen minutes. He was a lightweight for forty five minutes.
Watson was not only a quarterback, he was mostly useless
after the first quarter. Now, what's my evidence? Go to
the stats. First quarter seven of eight, seventy five yards,
two touchdowns, no interceptions, passer rating of one hundred and
forty five one hundred and forty five point three passer
(10:37):
rating for Deshaun Watson in the first quarter. How about
the rest of the game. How do you do? Don't ask?
Watson had twenty complete passes, average seven point one yards
per attempt, no touchdown passes, He had no interceptions, he
was sacked three times, had a passer rating the second, third,
and fourth quarter combined of seventy seven point one. Seventy
(11:01):
seven point one was the man's passer rating after the
first quarter. And we're supposed to say he doesn't have
no culpability. Deshaun Watson. Really, I'd like to have you
as a teacher. I mean, I got a lot of numbers.
I mean I can explain it to you differently. Deshaun
Watson was a shooting star for fifteen minutes and then
he took a ride in the vomit comment the rest
(11:23):
of the game. How about that? All right? You gotta understand,
all right? Last word, So the Texans franchise, it really
depends on the fan base. I believe if the fan
base rises up and there's anarchy and chaos among the
Texans fans, there will be a change. Do I expect
that to happen? No? I don't expect that to happen.
You could have got rid of this guy a couple
of years ago. The Texas franchise is going to continue
(11:45):
to tread water and spin their wheels in the kiddy
pool of the NFL. All right, they have enough talent
to make the playoffs, but not enough talent or enough moxie.
I should say, to go on this extend, did run
like the Tennessee Titans have moxie. They got there's something
(12:05):
about it that Texans don't have. They were lucky to
be Buffalo and Josh Allen didn't puke all over the field.
They don't win that game. Watson was a bum for
three quarters in that game. I mean, why don't we
have to Deshaun Watson's good for one out of four quarters?
Apparently in these playoff games, one out of four that's it, right,
(12:27):
So I would expect this cycle to continue next season
in Houston, Rinse, Washington, repeat, right, Bill O'Brien, he should
be whacked. But it's unlikely. The Texans put all of
their chips. They pushed them all in the middle of
the table to make the big trades. No, I have
no problem trading future draft capital. I don't. But you've
(12:50):
got to get dividends. Those trades have to pay dividends,
and I don't see a lot of that from the
Houston Texas. Laramie Tunzel coming over from the Miami Dolphins
was supposed to solve Deshaun Watson from getting sacked every
other play, and it all Deshaun's ability to read defense.
I wonder what he's doing. I mean, because they they've
improved the offensive line, but Laramie tunzil and that, you know,
(13:14):
not exactly the second coming of Orlando Pace and Anthony
Munios with the Dolphins this year. And not too many
pancake blocks. A lot of pancakes consumed, but not too
many pancake blocks from the Texans offensive line, you know
what I'm saying. All Right, I mean, well, let's hear
from Bill O'Brien quickly. We'll hear a couple of these.
Have Bill O'Brien the fake punt we talked about there,
(13:37):
whether that was the big turning point game that really
pushed Kansas City to get right back in the game there,
and here's O'Brien saying why he did the dumb thing
that he did. We felt like, you know, we work,
gonna able to punt it too many times today, you know,
we felt like that we had to try to manufacture
some points, manufacture some yards and just didn't work out,
you know, just something we decided to do, but the
(13:58):
play didn't work. These games were always you know, games
are momentum, momentum swings um. You know, we had momentum
at that point. Just felt, you know, we were gonna
try to make a play there and it just didn't work.
Come why did you give up the momentum? If you
had the momentum, why would you give up the momentum.
You should hold on to the momentum. Good coaches hold
on to the momentum. Why would you give up the momentum?
Why did Kansas City not have the momentum at the
(14:18):
start of the game. Explain the momentum If both teams
want the momentum, how did Kansas City not have the momentum?
And why did Houston have the momentum? Oh, that's right.
It's a made up, artificial, bull pucky nonsense that the
media came up with. And these dumb dumbs that play
sports repeated all the time momentum. They had all the momentum.
(14:39):
We had the momum. Yeah, we're up twenty four nothing.
Explain momentum to me. I'm not that dumb. Explain it
to me like I'm five years old. Okay, so you're
up twenty four nothing. You have all the momentum. The
other team comes back, Well, how's that possible? If one
team has all the momentum? How is that effing possible?
I will hear from more. Will pause with it cause
(14:59):
I am on time out to buy the clock for
the clock plausibly all about the clock. So we'll hear
more from Bill O'Brien and also to Shaun Watson, because
the better story is in the losing locker room. If
you would like to be part. Before we give out
the number they will spend the wheel of producers, let's
find out who's producing the show tonight. See you here.
I'm going with lead A Lapp. I'm going with lead
(15:19):
A Lap. It could be Bo Benson, could be back
Burr Shinger. Oh, it's Cooper Loop has decided to join
us today. Welcome in, Coop. Good to meet you. I
hope you do well and we hope you make it here.
This is a big trial period this week, Coopy. Thank
you yeah, so happy to be back. Honor to have
(15:39):
you back. You're literally on your deathbed. Last week. It
was did you have your gallbladder taking out? How was
it painful? Painful? Yeah, it's a painful procedure. Yeah, it
is absolutely painfully. Kept you in the hospital for a
couple of extra days. I'm glad you're back. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays
at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports
Radio and the iHeartRadio app. So, the NFL playoffs now
(16:03):
down to the final four and the Seattle Seahawks, who
at one point we're playing for the number one seed
in the NFC. Then they couldn't beat Alligator Arms Murray
the umpa loompa got him, and then they lost at
home to the forty nine Ers. The forty nine Ers
actually didn't win that game. The Seahawks PR department lost
that game. The incompetence, the ineptitude of the Seattle Seahawks
(16:26):
PR department, and I can't wait for all those people
to be fired that were responsible for locking me out
of that stadium. They all deserved to lose their jobs.
So the Seahawks went out they spotted the Packers an
eighteen point first half lead. Did they come back to
win at Lambeau Field on a frigid day at Lambo, No,
they did not. They did not. Davante Adams tearing up
(16:50):
the practice squad secondary of the Seahawks eight catches for
one hundred and sixty yards, had a couple of touchdowns,
Aaron Jones keeping up with the Jones he had a
couple of scores. And by the time it was done,
the Packers had pushed back against the Seahawks twenty eight,
twenty three, and they are back in the NFC Championship game,
third time in six years. It seems like it's been longer,
(17:12):
but third time in six years. But the better story
not on the Green Bay side. Victory has a thousand fathers,
But defeat is an orphan, and that defeat belongs to
the good people from Seattle. So let's discuss the question
what the hell happened to the Seattle Seahawks at Lambau
in particular the first half of this game. Now my take,
(17:34):
you've got Albert Einstein, canoe and many and petty, and
we will combine those things and will line them up,
knock them down like Dominos not to lead off with
The Seattle Seahawks roster has been ravaged by injuries, and
that is not an excuse, that is a reality, specifically
in the backfield. Seattle, who has been a team that
(17:55):
at best is balanced, but really is a running team.
They lost the backs Chris Carson and Rashad Penny both
landed on injured reserve in the span of ten days.
We know what happened in December, late December. So Pete
Carroll goes into his role at Decks and he said, oh,
I need a running back. Hey, Marshawn, you want to
(18:15):
play for the Seahawks again, calls Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn's like,
I don't know. I'm busy as a bartender at the
Raider game. I don't know if I can make it.
And one thing leads to another, and there he is,
right there, mars Shawn Lynch. So the Seahawks I believe
lost in large part to the Packers because of stubborn nostalgia.
(18:36):
Now what do I mean by that? Brian Schottenheimer, the
offensive coordinator, and the Seattle Seahawks made a concerted effort
to feed the beast mode right that blew up in
their hands. Marshawn Lynch. Two point zero is actually the
yards per carry for Marshawn Lynch in his return to
the Seattle Seaks. He ran twelve times for twenty six
(18:58):
yards two touchdowns. That's an average. You have two point
two yards per carry. His version or this version rather Marshawn.
It reminded me of c. J. Anderson. He looks like c. J. Anderson,
the butterball turkey for the Rams in last year's postseason.
But c J. Anderson actually had a very good game
against the Dallas Cowboys. But Pete Carroll made a big
(19:20):
misstep in bringing back beast mode. There had to be
some guy out of the Canadian Football League that you
could have brought in that would have been better than
Marshawn Lynch. And then, to compound the mistake, they continued
to give Marshawn the football way too many times. And
as Albert Einstein taught the world years ago, insanity is
(19:43):
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
different results. And he handed the ball off to a
washed up running back, and you expect, all of a
sudden he's gonna turn into Emmett Smith in his prime.
Probably not gonna happen. Probably not gonna happen. Now further,
Russell Wilson, we know Russell had champagne wishes and caviar
dreams for the Seattle Seahawks here in the postseason. The
(20:06):
Seahawks had been doing a high wire act all year, right,
I mean, and I listen full transparency if you listen
to the podcast the fifth Hour Benny versus the Penny.
I expected them to come into green Bay and to
win the game. I considered the Packers to be a
similar opponent. I was not in press. The Packers looked
(20:26):
to me like more of a ten or eleven win
team than a thirteen win team. I feel like they're both.
These teams are in the same boat. Obviously, my analysis
didn't happen. Russell Wilson, though, when you look at the
Seahawks team and the lack of wow factor players on offense,
Russell Wilson has a future on HGTV and because he
(20:50):
must be a big fan of DIY do it yourself
home improvement projects. Because Russell Wilson's in't like a solitary
state with the Seattle Seahawks offense, Seattle, they got the quarterback,
and Russell's in a canoe. He's paddling his own canoe,
is what he's doing. There. There's no one else in
the canoe other than them. Now, dk Metcalf, who he praised,
(21:11):
he had an amazing game against Philadelphia, against that rag
tag secondary in Philly. Dk Metcalf looked like Randy Moss.
He looked like a man among boys in Philly, and
he was mostly held in check. In Wisconsin, he had
four catches for fifty nine yards, did not get into
the end zone, and he was unable to match Davante Adams,
(21:33):
who played the way that dk Metcalf had played the
previous game with those eight catches and a hundred and
sixty yards in two touchdowns. Now, Tyler Lockett did put
up big numbers, but that was it. There was nobody else.
The Seahawks playmakers collectively took a dump right at midfield
there and they brought a water gun for Russell Wilson.
(21:54):
That's all they had. They had no real ammunition. They
didn't even have a cap gun. A cap gun would
have been better than a water gun, but they didn't
have that all right, last thing, so Aaron Rodgers was
so so you're feeling me on that, Aaron Rodgers, so
so in this particularly. I know you're not supposed to
say that, right you protected interest in all that. Of course,
(22:16):
it doesn't matter. This is one thing I've learned. This
is one lesson I've learned from all this. It does
not matter how he plays now. The reason I say
that is because the TV people continue to give him
a nice back massage Aaron Rodgers, no matter how inefficient
he is. Now you go down further here, if you
(22:39):
look at the quarterbacks that are left, and you've you've
only got four teams. So you've got Ryan Tannehill, Patrick Mahomes,
Jimmy Garoppolo, who didn't do much anything against the Minnesota
Vikings forty nine ers one not because of Jimmy Garoppolo
at all. And then also you've got the final team
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. But up the final four
(23:01):
on my big board here. Now that Lamar Jackson is
out of the playoffs, Aaron Rodgers gets to wear the crown.
He's the most slobbered over quarterback left in the postseason.
Tell me I'm wrong, right, He gets the manny and
the petty from the talking heads, no matter what he does.
It's essentially a spinning match to see who can give
the most compliments to Aaron Rodgers when the Packers are
(23:24):
on television. Rodgers was actually worse as the game progressed.
People like to talk about that. In fact, in the
fourth quarter, as Seattle is coming from behind, closing the
margin against the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers had a
passer rating in the fourth quarter of sixty sixty. He
had more in completions than completions. He averaged less than
(23:45):
seven yards in attempt six and a half yards per attempt.
But I'm not supposed to say that, right, Yes, get
back to that. Got to get back to that. We
often talk about this famous movie from back in the
nineteen sixties. But it's true that when the legend becomes
the fact, you print the legend, and the legend is
Aaron Rodgers is a gun slinger and a great quarterback,
(24:07):
and even when he doesn't play well, you still have
to celebrate Aaron Rodgers and praise Aaron Rodgers and kisses
tuck us is what you've got to do. So they
just evangelize the greatness of number twelve. But the Packers
are on borrowed time. They are. I mean, they get
no style points even in this game. Now they're heading
(24:29):
into a pit of vipers against the forty nine ers,
although the Vikings didn't really give up much of a
fight in that game. But that's the NFC Championship game there.
I guess we don't have any any post game at
all from that game. All right, anyway, we'll take your
phone calls if you'd like to be part. Not on
my screen eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
(24:50):
seven seven nine nine six sixty three six nine. We're
also on Twitter at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller.
You can be part of the festivity here and we
will take your telephone telephone calls and the Facebook page
Ben Maller show. I did a nice Facebook Q and A.
We had some fun with that. What was really asked,
(25:10):
Ben was what we did at the I think about
Friday a little time on Friday, the last bed. Everyone's
very nice on facebooks. Where people are nice in Twitter
is where people are douchebags. I don't know about Instagram.
I'm kind of new to Instagram. I'm going to become
a booty model on Instagram. I think that's the way
to go. If I want to get a lot of
(25:31):
followers and have some some power on the gram, then
I believe I need to become a booty model. And
there I see you a little bit more active on Instagram. Yeah,
I'm trying trying to. You know, It's I've had the
page and I haven't really used it, and it's I
feel like it's time. I feel like it's time to
that enough people are on it. I used to think
Instagram was just for guys to kind of creep on
(25:52):
beautiful women and beautiful women to make money off being
beautiful women and you know, just sell the fact that
they've got certain assets that men find attractive and all that.
But what enough people are on there now I feel
like it's worth my time. So I will make a
concerted effort at least a few times randomly to post
messages on Instagram. Excited about that all right? Now. We
(26:16):
talked earlier about the game in Houston, and many people
in the militia were like, what's going on? Why have
we not heard from Chris in Houston? Why is he
not called? Well, he didn't call in. He should have called.
It should have been the first call it's a bad
job by him, but he has called in now a man,
let's hear him defend. I mean something about Houston, NFL,
(26:37):
the Oilers. I remember when I was very young watching
the Oilers blow a massive lead with Warren Mold against
Buffalo early in the morning in Orchard Park, New York.
And now not so early. It was in the afternoon.
But the Houston Texans said, hey, Oilers were not as
good as you because we weren't down thirty two points
(26:57):
or had a thirty two point lead, but we gave
up a twenty four point lead, and we only did
it in fifteen minutes. So there you go. Let's go
to Chris and Houston. Defend your squad. Christopher, go ahead,
defend your Bill O'Brien, defend you to Sean Watson, go ahead,
defend Doby. You haven't listened to my show because I
don't defend them bums. I'm told you it was embarrassing
(27:19):
that they won that game against Buffalo in the first place.
Bill O'Brian should have been left in the turn back
in Kansas City. I mean, what are you doing eating
the malle of chicken things or something? He got? He
got grease on it on the place sheet or something.
I mean, come on, man, for the first time in
his life, he found his place sheet in the first quarters,
and then he lost it as a second quarters and
then in Romeo Carnell went straight old timers. But you
(27:41):
know what, at least we didn't get shut out in
the Super Bowl. Rams didn't get shut out three leagues
and third quarter. Rams didn't get shut out in the
Super Bowl. And at least we didn't give up six
or two points and put the record up and only
put the three points like Miami Dolphins did. So you're
looking for You're looking for positives is what you look before. Well,
you know, you always got a little positive. When you
(28:02):
get you get just embarrassed like that being. I mean
we got there's no positive. There's no franchises an embarrassment.
They're a blight on the NFL landscape. Is a fraud.
I mean the whole thing. They had to blow the
whole thing up. I'll get rid of the Texans and
the Astros a twofo, all right, bank bang, get rid
of all of them, all of them, Throw them all over.
(28:26):
What Rams actually showed up in the second quarter in
that game, unlike the Houston, Texans. How about that. There
you go. I'll tell you what, Jared Golf is at
least one an NFC championship. That's more than the shout Watsons. Guy,
what's that? Twenty twenty, twenty twenty, it's gonna happen. Hey,
(28:49):
you were you were like you were like four years
old when the Rockets won. Probably time the Rockets, I remember,
I don't know, I remember that. I've remember that barn.
That's the only thing I got. Remember you Ordist Thorpe
fan or something like that. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, sure,
sure got Rob Come on sil Vernon Madden macwille come on, man, Vernon.
(29:16):
Vernon Maxwell was crazy. I liked it. He attacked fans
in the crowd. It was nuts. Vernon. I mean I
got I got cursed out by my wife, okay, because
I told her it was gonna be okay, wet us
go to church down. It didn't did it all just
with the hill and then you know, I got cursed
out to be fine. I mean, I mean they put
up a shot. I mean, if you well, let me
(29:37):
tell you something. Point. I feel bad for you. I
don't want to help you out. I know how it feels.
To lose a game, you know, not like that. I mean,
I've been through this a lot, so I think what
Bill O'Brien how to do is meet with a J.
Hinch and try to figure out maybe some signs they
can use to help them out, maybe bang bang whistles,
something to help out and some kind secret buzzers. He's
(30:02):
not going to be fire being not call McNair doesn't
have balls. He's stuck in the office, still winding, and
his daddy died. Wow, that's a low blow. Are they
going to go out? And then? Well they got that
first round pick, so it'll be fine. You got that
first round Well, that's right, the Dolphins have the first
round pick in the Texas because they traded for ween
(30:24):
smoking left tackle. You forgot the great Laramie Tunzil. That's right,
great Armie Tonsil, straight Garfige. You think he still has
that gas mask, that that famous gas mask from World
War Two? You think he still has that in his possession? No,
he probably got a gas room. You never he's got
he probably going there. You got to you know too, Hey,
(30:47):
I understand I love the green Yeah, all right, Chris,
did your teams are following apart? But you did call in.
I unlike when the Astros lost the World Series. You
were coward, you were chicken hearted. You did not calling
that night place. What doesn't matter enough to call you?
(31:07):
Are you gonna ask you gonna be like You're gonna
be like Wen, You're gonna be like weed Man and
ask for more money? Is that what you're gonna do?
Huh No, I don't I don't need weed Man was
begging on Twitter again. You wanted me to send them
money on Twitter? What a scull back. I would never
work for you. Yeah, all right, thank you, Christa. I
gotta go. You called in, and I'll give you credit
(31:31):
for if it's what the militia wanted. But you did.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Maller,
how about that to the third degree? This is one

(31:51):
We treat you like you, to treat you well. Ben.
During the CBS pregame show on Saturday, Bill Kawer was
surprised with the news that's shocking. Yes, that was a surprise.
Jimmy Johnson not a suprise. Yeah, that's true. He'll be
getting inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. Ben,
Do you think Kawer is deserving of the spot. I don't.
(32:11):
I don't think anybody's deserving in the Hall of Fame though,
so I'm the wrong person to ask. Hey, Bill Kauer
that he had very good teams in Pittsburgh. He won
a bunch of regular season games. But as my memory
and my memory is foggy, but as I recall, Cowers,
teams regularly underachieved in the postseason. A lot of media
and talking heads using some revisionist history, but I believe
(32:32):
Bill Kauer was in six AFC title games. His teams
were two and four in the AFC Championship Game, and
he got to two Super Bowls. His team's one and one.
But really, that one win is tarnished because anybody that's
old enough to have watched that Super Bowl win by Pittsburgh,
the win is tainted by the officiating. They were in
the back pocket of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks got
(32:54):
hosed in that Super Bowl, so that's a tainted win.
It's kind of like saying the Astros winning the twenty
seven Team World Series is legit when they it'll be
gotten gains right. In the case of the Astros, they
cheated with bang bang and whistles and all that. Well,
the Steelers had the referees on the payroll and beat.
The Hall of Fame is obviously subjective. It's also very political.
(33:15):
I think we learned that here is a popularity contest.
Bill Kauer has a lot of very important people that
like him. That gives him clout right. He kept his
nose clean. He's obviously a dummy considering what he said
about Bill O'Brien after the game, praising Bill O'Brien five
minutes after Houston blew a twenty four nothing lead, one
of the great choke jobs in NFL history, and the
(33:35):
broadcaster on TV's praising him. He has provided I would
say mediocre commentary on CBS for many many years here
and now he's rewarded for a lifetime of service to football,
But no, I don't put him in the Hall of
Fame next. In an interview over the weekend, Danny Ames
told a local paper that he doesn't feel any urgency
to trade his young assets to get some veteran help. Yeah, Ben,
(33:57):
do you think these Celtics are better offstanding. Pat Well,
I don't believe Danny Age. I know Ange doesn't like
to make trades, but I don't believe it. You look
at the Eastern Conference, number one, it is wide open.
Milwaukee's the top dog, but they're a beatable team. You
look at the top teams and they are not invincible
in the East. The Celtics don't have the star power
the Sixers and the Bucks have, but they've got a
(34:19):
bunch of really good similar players and the second Danny Ainge.
You look at the Celtics er. Danny Ainge does not
need to trade for a headline and the Celtics don't
need a core player they I've watched a bunch of
Celtic games this year and their bench is a problem,
problematic here and if Boston during the regular season, bench
is more important than the playoffs. Typically rotations getting tightened up,
(34:42):
but you get a higher seed, you have a more
of an advantage to go further in the playoffs by
winning regular season games. But we're talking about mostly a
minor trade of some secondary draft picks to fortify the roster.
You're not looking at a total demos situation or anything
like that, So Danny Age would be nuts if he
doesn't trade for a backup player. The deadline is coming
(35:04):
up here in early February. All right, next now, Derek
Rose hasn't been an All Star since the year that
he tore his eightcl in the playoffs. That was eight
seasons ago. Now, so far this year he's been putting
up great numbers that only twenty five minutes per game? Ben,
does he deserve to be an All Star again? Sure?
Why not put him in the All Star Game? I
don't care. The All Star Games unwatchable anyway. I mean,
put him in. It doesn't matter. The NBA All Star
(35:26):
Games a total fraud. It's a farcical event. It is
so bad. How bad is it? I'll tell you, don't yell.
It's so bad that every year at All Star weekend,
I guarantee we'll do the same thing. We do a
monologue lest should just get rid of the All Star
Game or how to make the All Star Game great again?
These things happen. It's sick through. Every year the same
thing pops up. It's a wretched event, right, It's a
(35:48):
wretched event. The players don't care. The final score will
be one ninety two to one hundred eighty nine will
be the final score. Pick whoever you want to win,
it will be allie. It's like an and one game
is what it is. It's like Rutger Park in real
life with NBA players. But the way I look at
Derek Rose, Listen, it's a beauty contest, and he is
(36:08):
beautiful in the eyes of the fans. I think he's
fourth in voting for front court players last I saw
the other day thing when the voting totals came out
last week, and so he's popular with the players. And secondly,
in a world where the All Star Game actually mattered,
like if Bud Selick became the commissioner of the NBA
and that that decided home court in the NBA Finals,
then there's no way in hell Derek Rose. He had
(36:30):
to have no business being on the All Star Game
because the Pistons are I think. I think they're five
losses from the worst record in the Eastern Conference. And
Derek Rose, he's been fine shooting layups, he's shooting about
seventy percent, but on non layups, on jump shots, he's
shooting forty percent. So you know, fine, put him in.
I don't care. It doesn't matter. Nobody plays defense. Why not?
(36:52):
All right? There it is Mallard of the third degree.
How did we do Benny passes edition? Oh because, yeah,
welcome back. There it is. You can put it on

Who needs our advice? Well, Mannick Mike had a good idea.
He said, I should be the one that gets advice

will do that at another time. We have other things
that we can do today, and in some weeks we
have no one that needs her advice. So on one
of those weeks, this will be going on for like
the next couple of months, so I'm sure my name
will pop up, But right now, advice to Bill O'Brian,
(38:03):
the in Battle under Siege Houston Texans coach. The Texans
blew a twenty four nothing lead. They become the first
team in NFL history to have a twenty point lead
and lose by twenty points in the postseason. Tremendously embarrassing.
So what is your advice to Bill O'Brien. You're live
