Hurts and the Birds? Also, how did you score the
fight between forty nine er the linebacker dra Greenlaw and
Eagles security officer dom Desandro? And does this game prove
that brock Perty is more than just a system order
back after dominating the Eagles? And how did Deebo Samuel

leading up to the game. We'll talk about all of
those angles and more right now here. It is our
number one. It was Bill as a heavyweight matchup, and
it was a second round. KO. Welcome in the beginning
(01:26):
of a brand spaking new week of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhere in collaboration as we

(02:09):
dot com the way tire buying should be in our
lead or headline this hour, coming from the NFL, where
we'll talk about the college The outrage has the greatest
thing that's ever happened to college football. There is nothing
better in the history of college football than what has
happened over the weekend. Oh it's so good. So everyone's upset.
(02:31):
Everyone's got their panties and a bunch. It's so good.
But we're gonna We're gonna stick play the hits, stick
to the hits, and I will stick to the hits,
and I don't want to talk about the Sunday I got,
I mean Sunday. We'll get to it at some point.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Here.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We have four hours to fill a blank canvas that
we will paint a mosaic over the overnight hours. But
I wanted to start with the matchup of matchups in
NFC heavy Weight Battle Royal l Royal Rumble in Philadelphia,
he rematcher the NFC title game, the Birds playing host
(03:06):
to the forty nine Ers. The forty nine Ers favored
on the road and in recorded gambling history, the first
time ever a team with a healthy quarterback that had
ten wins and one loss was at home and an underdog.
It had not happened since they kept track of the numbers,
(03:26):
and so what was going to happen in the game.
So then they played the game, and the greatest system
quarterback of our time, Brock Purty, went out through for
over three hundred yards, had not one, not two, not three,
but four touchdowns, which I'm told is good. I'm told
that is good. A Deebo Samuel had three of his
(03:47):
own touchdowns, which also I'm told is good. And the
Eagles were absolutely smothered by the forty nine Ers. Jalen
Hurts didn't do much anything here when the game was
in the balance. There he was checked for a concussion
at one point. So the forty nine Ers win this
(04:07):
game forty two to nineteen the final in a game
that was not even that close. Thumpity thump as the
Niners just melee aid the Philadelphia football team. So the
Niners improved the nine and three, the Eagles dropped to
ten and two on the season. The better start is
in the losing locker room. So that is where we
(04:28):
will begin. And where does this loss, a stinger of
a loss? Where does this loss leave Jalen Hurts and
the Eagles. So I've got solar plexus, LeVar ball, and
Chef's kiss, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a firecracker of
(04:51):
a Mallard monologue. So ay, if you watch the TV
show over the weekend, we talked a lot about this game.
Why wouldn't we. It was the biggest game on the
card in the NFL, the Eagles and the forty nine
ers in we expected a lot more from Philadelphia. Now,
to be fair, for fifteen minutes, the Philadelphia football team
(05:12):
was in good Ship. They were six to nothing. A
couple of long drives they had to settle for field goals.
But hey, you're okay, fine, that's all right. And then
from that point forward, if you take away the fifteen
minutes the start of the game. Unfortunately for Jalen Hurts
and the Eagles, the game is actually judged over a
sixty minute clock, and since they judged it after sixty
(05:36):
minutes and not fifteen minutes, it turned out to be
mortifying as the forty nine ers did whatever the hell
they wanted on offense. It was a punch to the
Eagles solar plexus. I don't even know if an Eagle
has a solar plexus, but it just man a one
(05:57):
dimensional offense. The combo DeAndre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell, and Boston Scott,
the three students running back position, managed twenty rushing yards combined. Twenty.
That's it. So this is one of those games. The
Eagles had a nice record, a great record in the
NFC and leading the NFL, but they're gonna have to
(06:20):
take their medicine on this one and do better and
be better. And they have an opportunity against the team
everyone does well against who's any good the Dallas football
team next weekend. But watching San Francisco score six touchdowns
on six straight possessions, that's hard to do, even on
(06:41):
a video game, to go six for six on touchdowns,
and they did it, and they probably could have scored more,
but they didn't need to. All right, now, turn the page.
We had the story within the story, which makes for
good talk greater. So there was a moment in time
in this game that will have legs that will continue
(07:05):
to be talked about in the coming days. And that
moment happened a brew haha. Somebody named dom Dessandro. I
don't know who that is. Apparently is the Eagles head
of security. It's hard to believe. I don't know every
team's head of security. Yes, so this guy's running the
Eagles security wing and he was injecked get out of
(07:25):
here just over nine minutes to play on the clock
in the third quarter of the game with the forty
nine ers. Now he became involved, the head of security,
Dom Dessandro, became involved in a sideline kerve fluffel. There
was an incident with linebacker Drake Greenlaw and if you
(07:46):
were watching the game, this became a big talking point
on the Fox broadcast. They highlighted it.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
They had sideline reporters breaking it down frame by frames
of Bruder film style. Sodssandro, he was on the side
of trying to Apparently, his job, I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Told, is to protect Nick Siriotti because apparently people want
to kill Nick Sirianni. So he needs somebody with him
at all times. You know, when you're coaching the Eagles,
it's a big deal. And so anyway, so Dissandro tried
to separate the forty nine linebacker Drey Greenlaw from Devonte Smith.
(08:22):
They got into it there and green Law tackled Smith
body slimmed and right there at the sidelines, and that
flustered a number of the Philadelphia sideline officionados and happened
right there at the Sandro's feet and during the game.
His job, again is.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
To protect Eagles coach Nick Sirianti at.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
All cos it's like the Secret Service. It's like a
secret you gotta protect the president, they says, a big job.
Your job is to protect Nick Seriati. You have to
take a punch for Sirianti. The big deal. These NFL coaches,
a lot of people want to get him. A lot
of people want to get at him, so he stood
(09:06):
there as this incident played out. The security guy for
the Eagles, Greenlaw, was penalized twelve yards for unnecessary roughness
on the play. Okay, that's not the end of it.
During the separation process, which can be dicey, it can
be messy, Dessandro, the security guy, lightly, lightly shoved Greenlaw,
(09:29):
the forty nine er defensive player, to ensure that he,
the defensive player, the linebacker in this case, would not
further engage hostilities against the Philadelphia football team. Well, Greenlaw
did not appreciate did not appreciate that at all, and
threw a light punch at the security guy. Dessandro then
(09:52):
left the field as the officials had they brief pow wow.
The officials got together and they decided you're all out
of here, get out here. Green Law was ejected and
the security guy, Desandro, was ejected. The crowd, of course,
loved this in Philadelphia. It was the highlight of the day.
I believe he got a game ball. I think he
got a game ball there at Lincoln Financial Field. So
(10:15):
how did you score the fight? How did you score
the fight between the forty nine linebacker Drake Greenlaw and
the Philadelphia head of security Dom Desandro. So I give
the fight a ten to nine win for Dessandro. Now
he also gets a dunch cap. But for a guy
(10:37):
who's not even playing, a guy that's not even in uniform,
or a coach, to have another team's defensive player kicked
out of the game because of a confrontation, that's a win.
That is a win. Now, it didn't turn out to
be a win because Philadelphia end up losing the game,
But to think about somebody who's not even a player
or a coach can take a player and have him
(10:59):
a dejected from the game in what happened here and
and so yeah, I mean it's a dunce cat move,
but at the time it could have been a massive
turning point in the game. It was not. But as
LeVar Ball would say, stay in your light, you gotta
stay in your lane there. But maybe not right. You're
not a player, you're not a coach. I gotta think that, well,
(11:23):
this is dishonorable behavior. And there's a lot of chatter
noise that the NFL is gonna crack down on rogue
security people and they're gonna bring the hammer of hell
down on this guy and he's gonna be suspended and
all that stuff. The escalating of the situation, shall we say, it,
does open up a can of worms, because let's just
(11:46):
do the hypothetical. Let's say we get that out of
the postseason, and you know, you're trying to try to
win a game here and you have a very loud,
vocal hooligan, that is, you just say they're you're secure guy,
and then they end up getting engaging with the other team,
and now the president has been said, hey, you can
(12:07):
be ejected for getting into a rhubarb with somebody who's
not a player, not a coach, And that's that's a
can of worms situation. And gamesmanship does play out here,
games ship does play out not last word, here, does
this particular game a forty nine er win by a
(12:31):
route or route depending on where you grew up? Does
this prove that brock Purdy is more than just a
system quarterback. My inbox at the end of this game
was filled with wise football savants who informed me that
this game is proof that I'm a dope, and I'm
(12:51):
a moron, I'm a nimrod and all that. The answer,
of course, is no. The answer is not. I mean
anybody that's sayding that, and you know who you are,
the people that sent me that email. You're the dumb
dumbs because it makes my sign all right now. While
this was a chef's kiss performance for brock Purty in
this particular game, and I'm gonna disagree with that, four touchdowns,
(13:13):
three hundred fourteen yards passing, he didn't get off to
the greatest start in the world. The first few passes
were wobbly but brilliant. Nevertheless, never do not be a
prisoner of the moment. The forty nine ers were favored
in this game. They were favored his game, so all
they did was take care of business. They were favored
on the road. The odds makers said they were the
(13:34):
better team. They won. And why does brock Perdy get
called the system quarterback? Because when the start players around
him are not there, he doesn't perform well. His team loses.
Were the start players there, yes, Deebo Samuel, was he there? Yes?
Absolutely so. Stop Now, if Deebo Samuel breaks his leg
(13:57):
and the Niners keep winning, okay, we got some, then
we can revisit this. But no, and how did Deebo
Samuel handle the trash. I remember that storyline. Oh, Deebo
Samuel's playing with fire. Oh man, he what is he doing?
He's upsetting the Eagles? Yeah, okay, Well, as we anticipated,
(14:20):
that story kind of faded away because the Eagles didn't
rally around and beat up the guy that was talking trash.
So Deebo Samuel, he talked to talk and went out
and walked the walk that his mouth was able to write,
jumbo size checks that his body was able to cash.
(14:42):
He touched the ball seven times, three of them. Three
of the seven went for touchdowns in one hundred and
thirty eight total yards. As it was a wonderful afternoon
in beautiful Philadelphia with a picturesque chamber of commerce Dan

Speaker 1 (16:33):

so we're free of Christmas music at least for this
same Mark's a rebel. I like that way to go,
Mark pushing pushing back the machine.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Could be Mark's last show man.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Ho ho ho, Yes, lump of coal in his Stocky
Yafeme writes, and he says, Hey, Malard, the security guy
on the Eagles showed more heart than the team against
the forty nine Ers. Jordan Love beating the Chiefs in
prime time. The bearst quarterback pass for ninety nine yards
gets mostly prevent defense when they played in Kansas City?
Who am I says Yafimi. Who else do we have?
(17:09):
Jason in Kansas City says ten out of ten on
the Mallar monologue, Ben, The forty nine Ers look to
be paving their way to a Super Bowl, and this
could happen as the AFC is filled with a bunch
of pretenders like the Chiefs, says Jason from Kansas City.
Ferg Dog writes in from Sokow says the College Football
(17:31):
Playoff Committee got it right. Florida State's offense played like
total garbage on Saturday. Once Georgia blows them out by
thirty in the Orange Bowl, maybe all their fans will
quit throwing at tantrum. Yeah, there's talk of lawsuits and
all that deal. Don't know, lawyers are getting together, Eddie
(17:54):
to bring on the lawyers. What is it? Isn't it
objective though? Or its subjective? It's not objective, it's subjective.
How what legal standing can you sue somebody over a
subjective opinions?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Okay? But yeah, there's a lawmakers exploring legal action because
the seminals.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Were not Yeah, I'm sure some congressman from the state
of Florida is going to get on the floor and
make some noise.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I think it's great. I am not a big college
football guy, but I think it's just freaking wonderful because listen,
they wanted Alabama in right, They Alabba did beat Georgia
over the weekend, so they had the right to give
Alabama a slot in there. And Washington beating Oregon fed
up the whole thing. Right, that screwed things up on Friday. Now,
you don't think it's screwed things Oregon was a nine
(18:43):
and a half point favorite. Oregon was supposed to win
that game. Washington. They really want Washington there. Choice year,
they didn't want Washington in there there they know they're good. No,
it's a TV show and they want good TV. That's
why Alabama's in, the only reason Alabamason should still better
than Florida State though, But from a television standpoint, if
(19:05):
Florida State would probably be better than Washington, there's more
seminole fans because it used to be good when we
were kids.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Eddie, it's time for some new blood.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, I'm fine with what. I'm happy Washington's in. I'm
just saying it's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
People getting off, But I mean Florida's Look, if anybody
saw the ACC title game Forest.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
State, I don't think was watching that game.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Probably not, but that still goes to tell you what.
You know, Florida State like they had a great season.
They should be upset. I get it. I'd be upsetified
with them too. Yeah, but if you watch that game,
you're like, Eh, this team's not not that great, not
compared to all these other teams.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah it's and sure, Jeffery Flood is speed dialing, right, now,
well doing something with speed.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, well that's I mean, that's every night.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, I understand, that's the day that ends with why
that happens there. So all the hullabaloo, all the people.
I love the people get on their soapboxes and give
these these long speeches about what's right and what's wrong
in college football.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And most of those people work for the ACC or Yeah,
well next year, most of the other people aren't saying that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Next year where they're going to twelve is yes, it'll
all be Big ten and SEC team.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I love how all these people like this is going
to change college sports forever. No, it's not, because next
year they're going to twelve teams and so they're not
going to have this issue.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And they could if they wanted to. They could have
a pow wow and put an extra couple of teams
in there if they wanted to, right, they could say,
I will throw Georgia and Florida State in there. They
could do it if they wanted to. They could change
things up, but then I.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Think that would be very ridiculous. But well, they could
just change the last second.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well why not people change things all the time at
the last second.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And not really not like this. They do like what like,
give me an example.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Well, during COVID, right, they changed all the rules immediately
they changed a sport.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Give me a sports comp.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Well, sports shut down. That was part of COVID.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It's not like the NFL is like, oh, let's add
a couple extra teams just because the playoffs. Let's throw
a couple extra teams in there.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Nobody does if they wanted to.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I'm done during this season?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Why not has been? Well, wasn't baseball change? Didn't baseball
change rules a couple of years ago during the season
some of the it was not the clock, but they
what did they change? Remember, the players were all upset
because it was like during the season there was like
they changed I forget what it was, but they changed something.
The players got very upset. They changed something about the balls,
(21:21):
didn't they are? Uh, I think it was some other
than the balls. But they have changed. They have changed
the balls before during the season. Hot ball talk talking.
That's the only kind of talk that's right when it comes.
So we had the crying game. I'll go back to
that Eagles forty nine Ers game. Jalen Carter. Isn't that
the guy that was drag racing. When somebody died at
Clemson was either Guy or Georgia Georgia.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
There was a Georgia player on I think it was.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I think Jalen Carter is a rookie for the Philadelphia Eagles.
He was spotted on the sidelines crying as the Eagles
were losing to the forty nine Ers. There he was
a ball of emotion, and he then decided to go
on social media. I guess there was no cooling off period.
Fans were berating him for crying what are you doing
(22:08):
here during the loss of the forty nine ers. His rebuttal,
he said, quote, I'll rather cry for losing a game
and cry that I'm still broke. Y'all, get you all
life together.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Is what he said. Hard words.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Apparently the critics, I don't know how he knows this.
The people that criticize him are broke. That's injury.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
He is that guy that was involved in accent.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
There you go. So he's got a second shot there, right,
second shot, and they look the other way. Right, talented
jock guy has a future in the NFL, will look
the other way. And and now he's taking pot shots
at random people on social media. I also saw that
(22:56):
Dion Sanders, he could be on the Golden Bachelor right now.
I guess he wasn't ever married. He was datas one
for twelve years. The big breakup, big tabloid breakup over
the weekend. Dion Sanders, who's fifty six years old, back
on the market. Attention ladies, if you're interested in Dion Sanders,
he is available. Big big news there, tabloids having a
(23:19):
field day with that.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Falcons beat the Jets thirteen to eight. Atlanta had six
and six leading the NFC South. For the Jets, they
fall to four and eight, and they can forget about
Aaron Rodgers returning this season the Rails.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Why not he wants to play?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
He said he wouldn't play unless they were in a
position to get a playoffs spot, which they're not.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
He's changed his mind about things before.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well, if he changes his mind, then I guess so.
But he said if they weren't playing a meaningful game,
he wouldn't play.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So maybe maybe it would not be playing meaningful because
he has to save Robert Sala's job. If I owned
the Jets, I'd fire everybody. Yeah, he's not going to
play Rams beat the Browns thirty any season now. Aaron
Rodgers is not going to.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Be tweet that out. Rams are six and six after
beating the Browns. Matthew Stafford three touchdowns as.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
This GAMEO co coo. He's pretty good, Eddie. The Browns
is low on the road, by the way, they are
such fraud.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
How did you enjoy Joe Flacco? Do you like Joe Flacco?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He's all right. He was actually better than off the street.
But he actually was not the problem the Browns defense,
though at home. They're giving up ten points a game
on the road. I think it's close to thirty. That's
that's that's weird. And they spent all week in La Man.
What were they doing over there.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
In Westwood Man having a good time? I hope yes.
Cleveland falls to seven and five. Chargers beat the Patriots
six nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
First shutof gratulations for your Chargers, Eddie. Big win there
and he.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Wins a big win for them. Twenty seventeen was their
last shutout win. Patriots offense is a really good Bailey
Zappiat quarterback this time didn't matter. Buccaneers beat the Panthers
twenty one to eighteen. And of course college football, the
final four is set Michigan, Washington, Alabama and Texas Crimson
Tide getting in after their upset of number one Georgia
(25:05):
over the weekend. Of course, Florida State, undefeated AC champs
left out of the final four. It will be Georgia
against Florida State and some bowl game. I can't remember
which one.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Good good reporting there, Eddie. I know at the Rose
Bowl will be Alabama and Mission.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I think I'm gonna out there for that one.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You're gonna go to that?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I think so you get free tickets, you're gonna pay
for the ticket. I might have a source ah free
tickets for Reddie.

dot com. We mentioned the rhubarb on the sidelines between
the forty nine ers and the Eagles security guy, and
some chatter that the NFL is gonna bring down the
hammer of God on Big Dom. That's what they call him,
the head security guy for the Philadelphia Eagles, because he
got into it. And Dray Greenlaw, the Niner linebacker, was
(26:16):
ejected after that, and so then the significant punishment coming down.
We'll see what significant punishment means. Masshole Mickey, reacting to
the top of the hour maut of the monologue, says,
two point five out of five chicken fingers on the
mald monologue, you gave out the number to Fox Sports Radio.
It's a bad job by you said speakeasy edition. Well
(26:41):
I didn't. It doesn't have to be a speakeasy edition.
Does it have to? Does every day have to be
a speakeasy edition? Is that what we're doing? Though? I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Some days I give out the number. Today was one
of those days. Maybe I won't give out the number
of the rest of the show if you make it happy,
Masshole Mickey, maybe I'll do that. I see page down here.
Can't read that on the air. A lot of hot
college football tack. Now, Alf, the Alien of pineappoints out
major League Baseball mid season? Did ban spider tack? Yes,
I remember Garrett Cole. Good memory there, Alf, Garrett Cole
(27:14):
and several other starting pitchers of prominence. Suddenly we're giving
up a lot of runs and we're very upset with
Major League Baseball. They changed it midseason, like we're gonna
ban spider tack, which is the gooey stuff that they
were doctoring baseballs with us. Go to the phones, we'll
say hello to Andre who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andrey.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Good evening, Ben, it's good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Good evening. I didn't know it was evening.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
I had no idea it was he well, you know, evening,
early morning, whatever the case may be. Right, I need
to jump into the situation that took place in this
marquee matchup with the Eagles in the forty nine. But
before I do that, Ben, I have to ship gears
and quickly touch on Benny versus the penny. Were you uh,
Ben Mahler back?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The Patriots beat Yes, and if only the Patriots had
kicked one field goal, they would have won the bet.
I lost five games by one score in the early
television window, all because of field goals idiot kickers. Yes,
that was a good bet. I would do it again.
The Chargers scored six points. They scored six points. The
(28:22):
Chargers blow. I'd fire Brandon Staley after that win. But
they'll never fire Brandon Staley. Must have pictures of the
ownership group with farm animals. I would get rid of
that guy.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
You know the Chargers, And who are you wonder.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You took the Patriot?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I took the Patriots. It was a good bet. Home dog.
Charges sucked, cold weather West Coast team, all of that,
and the Patriots can't even get a field goal? Are
you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (28:50):
That's why I'm perplexed.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Ben with Bailly Zaffi had the QBR of sixteen point two.
Ben obviously haven't been Max.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
He hasn't played you dummy? What are you? What's wrong
with you? Andre is and played He hardly played it
all this year, and they supposedly practiced all week as
the number one starter. And people actually can get better, Andre,
they don't just continue to wallow in Suckville.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
That's true, okay, but but clearly there's a trajectory here
for the Patriots. You don't end up that. What's now,
they didn't have.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
To win the game. Andre they just had to kick
a freaking field goal, and I would have won the bet.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Ben, I I I feel, you know, in terms of
these close near myses, you know, when the spread is
not covered.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Maybe if Russell Wilson doesn't suck all of a sudden
again and throw three interceptions on the final four drives
for the Broncos, maybe they would have won that game. Oh,
you picked the Broncos. This is your fault. Thanks for
watching the TV show, Coop. I appreciate that Benny versus
the Penny. Yes, and Sports Park that's right, and and
(29:56):
a bunch of other NBC affiliatees. But that's right.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Yes, indeed, wonderful jobs. It certainly makes my TGA Friday. Uh,
you know, go off for the bang. I enjoyed sitting
there kick kicking back. But I was a little bit
perplexed with you back in the Patriots against by.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
The way, Okay, you're perplexed. I just explained the mythology
to you. And if you look at the the numbers
on the Chargers quarterback who was dreadful, by the way,
gets a pass because they won the game on two
second quarterfield goals.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
The Chargers on the road with as a favorite on
the road have been horrific with their current starting quarterback
and should have not covered that spread against the Patriots.
You can't get one field goal one field and they
were in position to kick field goal. You couldn't get one.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Field goal in position to kick a field goal against
the Giants and that and that didn't go well out
of the defend. I know you got a lot of
other wonderful, wonderful people.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yes, God enough, they're wonderful. I don't know if they're wonderful.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
The Malan Melissa all wonderful. In my perspective, I'm disappointed
in these egos and we're gonna we're gonna revisit this
in terms of how you got embarrassed at home against
the forty nine Ers. This is gonna send reverberations going
all the way through through the postseason.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
Now.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Might not mean because the forty nine has had those
three straight losses, might not mean if they get the
home field advantage, but I from when we do have
a rematched pop in the city of Brotherley luck and
Brock Perdy can stay on his two feet. The Eagles
now have a mental hurdle to get over.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Nah, they're fine because the Niners. The Niners aren't going
to stay healthy. And brock Perty's a fraud unless he's
got his guys healthy. So somebody's gonna get hurt. A
key guy'll get hurt for the Niners between now and
the end of the end of the season. All right,
I'll leave it there. Thank you, Andre. YOUAPHEMI in Chicago,
says Andre gave me a seizure from pretending he actually
watches the games. Malor, I'm currently foaming at the mouth.
(31:45):
Call authorities here, please blow them up. I might, I
might survive. Well, he's all I think he's off their
I think you're good on that. See page down. Won't
read that on the air.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
The Dolphins, Boy, what a scene it was in the
Washington Football team stadium there the Dolphins showing up and
they were supposed to win by a lot, and they
won by a lot. And they did have a unique celebration. Now,
early in the game, Tyreek Hill a seventy eight yard
touchdown and they celebrated by riding a roller coaster. They
(32:22):
wrote a roller I did the roller coaster celebration, and
it was pretty good. They were all sitting lined up.
Now Tyreek was he was orchestrating. He was orchestrating the
roller coaster there they were riding. I don't know which
roller coaster that was. Is there an amusement park? I'm
sure there is somewhere in the greater DC area there.
Maybe they were doing that. I don't think that's a Disneyland, right,
(32:44):
I think that's a real roller coast. But Tyreek Hill
the top receiver in the NFL? Is he the number
one receiver in the I win the MVP Award? But
putting up big, gaudy stats every single fricking week for
the Miami Dolphins. And he also had some interesting comments
praising the Washington football I'm really praising them. He was
(33:07):
goofing on them for their defensive strategy. Man demand disrespectful.
You disrespect me. Here's the who am I game? Christian McCaffrey,
He's our running back for the forty nine ers. He
had fifty He now has fifty rushing touchdowns in twenty
seven touchdown receptions in his career. After his work on
Sunday in Philly, he joins Marshall Falk and Me as

rushing touchdowns in twenty five touchdown receptions. Again, Christian McCaffrey
the Niners. Now with fifty rushing touchdowns and twenty seven
touchdown receptions in his career. He joins Marshall Falk and
Me as the only players in NFL history with at

I need an answer.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yes, it's former Steeler and Patriot running back Hank Potit.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Hank Potit. No, it is not Hank Potee. The correct
answer Lenny Moore. Lenny Moore also a Hall of Famer
or Baltimore Colt before my time, Eddie. But Lenny Moore
had sixty three rushing touchdowns forty eight touchdown receptions. Let's
go to the phones. Adam in d C is up next.
Hello Adam, with all.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Due respect, and you know how it gets that people.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Say that man, you you sound like the far called.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
It my quarterback of fraud after he just wiped the
floor with I guess you your team. You know I
always said about the Ben Milers show, and I finally
check it out just to be disgusted by your lazy take.
Tell me how block Buddy is a.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Fun Okay, all right, well thanks for thanks for listening, Bozo,
because that's been a take. I've lived by that take
all all season and last year. And and you, because
you are wearing your forty nine or Onesie, don't realize
because you're too far into the forest there, Adam, that
brock Perty's a system guy. Why not celebrate the fact
(37:48):
he's the greatest system quarterback in the NFL. Why is
that a negative?
Speaker 6 (37:51):
My god, Well he's he's a system he's a system quarterback, right, Yes,
that's correct. So Raf was putting up numbers.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Like this, well, Garoppolo was also. Garoppolo is also a
system quarterback.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Garoppolo didn't do what this exactly because he's.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
A better system quarterback. You're making my point for me.
Speaker 7 (38:11):
You know who the system quarterback.
Speaker 6 (38:13):
You know who the system quarterbacking hurts? Your system quarterback.
Your quarterback is the system quarterback, not Rock Party. Didn't
even watch Codge football, didn't even see anything he did
at Iowa State.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
Raised that program up in the program.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Oh please, Adam, you never heard of You've never heard
of Rock Party until you got to the forty nine ers.
Do not like you. You're not sitting there in DC, Adam,
watching Iowa State cyclone football. Do not like you? Just
your nose is growing, Please, Adam, people in Iowa don't
even watch Iowa State football? What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (38:45):
Bro here? If there's a YouTube video by guy that
I've always started for the last fout here, thanks sports,
And that's why I have a talk of thanks sports,
come loko it for yourself to my all Right.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
So some some random guy on YouTube has a video
and I'm supposed to go watch it. Okay, I'm good.
Thank you, though, Adam, I appreciate that. My goodness. That
a forty nine er apology and the reality. And we
said it all season. We've been saying Rock Party PEP
were piping up for the MVP and then lost to
(39:16):
the Cleveland Browns. Well, it was a city ticker's fault,
this guy's fault, that guy's fault.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, we saw Brock Party have a chance on his
own without Deebo Samuel, and the Niners did not win
any of those games when Deebo Samuel was away, Deebo
Sama comes back all of a sudden, Rock Party's throwing
dimes all over the field. I'm sure these things are
not related at all. There's no correlation at all between
(39:42):
Brock Party's performance without Deebo Samuel and then when he
came back, also his offensive line in tag et cetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera,
