half empty? With Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski being the center
(00:22):
of attention on the coaching carouself three teams hot and
heavy flirting with Kevin Stefanski. Also, Tom Brady is targeting
the Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores as the raiders next
head coach. Are you intrigued by this story? And how

things looking for Mike McDaniel with the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's all coming away right now on this sixth day
of January, Happy Tuesday, here is our one. Tis my
favorite time of the year where NFL teams are dumpster diving.
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
(01:18):
Malors Show. We are in the air e of reware
in partnership as we have our special post holiday doorbuster
take sales ongoing going right now. Coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and enormously powerful
(01:40):
microphones of fs are ammunating live from the diarrhea, the
verbal diarrhea. Die die diarrhea. We got it all night long.
Just keep talking and talking and talking and talking and
talking and talking and talking from the world famous Fox
Sports Radio studios where legends like Danny and Nashville have
(02:05):
sat outside in the bushes like a creepy person. Not
Rob the Goatman, though he has not done that, but
this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made
possible impart There's the goat Man by our friends at
tire Rack. For over forty years, I've told us a
long time, tire Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
(02:28):
fast and free back by, free road hazard protection, with
convenient installation options, which alf Fergdog and Malaprop Guy like
a lot like mobile tire installation. Now, mister nice Guy
says for him, it's all about tire raq dot com.
That's the website, the way tire buying show be and
(02:49):
we're back at it here always enlightening time.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know, there are days you come.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
In to the radio studio and you look around and
you're like, all right, we're gonna be taking turds and
throwing them against the wall and.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Seeing what sticks. And then there's other days.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You come in and you're like, okay, we'll do like
twelve hours of talk radio.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
This would be one of those days. But we're gonna
start our lead this hour from the coaching carousel. Round
and round and round and round.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The coaching carousel goes, and the Brownies have said.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Bye bye, bye bye to their head coach.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Now, the great thing about being the brown head coaches
you never really have to learn the name of the
Browns head coach because they're never any good and they're
not there all that long now, by Brown standards, Kevin
Stefanski had a pretty good run.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Six years, six year, two winning seasons. That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But six years as coach of the Browns. Now, the
most mind boggling part of that story is the incompetent
GM Andrew Barry. Andrew Barry kept his job, he will
remain in charge, and he will hire the next coach
of the Cleveland brown Because, as our friends Strip Club
(04:02):
John in Cleveland and others know, the Brown's ownership Jimmy
Haslman Company.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You know, they don't really know what's really going on.
They don't.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Now here's Andrew Berry. Here we'll hear from the man
of the hour. Here, the GM who somehow kept his job.
I'd love to know how that conversation went. But here's
Andrew Berry commenting on why the Browns have decommissioned their
head coach.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Coming into the season, we were realistic that, you know,
we were a team and a roster in transition, and
ultimately this decision is born from the fact that we've
ultimately felt like we did not see enough progress in
areas that were controllable independent of certain game outcomes.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
All right, well, the story is not so much that
we'll have plenty of time to goof on the Browns.
It's low hanging fruit, which is always delicious, the most
delicious and just the juiciest fruit is low hanging fruit.
So the story here is the fact that Kevin Stefanski
has now become the flavor of the week.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
In the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
If you believe the noise, if you hear the noise,
you believe the noise. If you buy the noise, and
who knows what's.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Real or not.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But there's a lot of chatter either it's real or
Stefanski's got a lot of buddies in the media that
are planting stories about him. So if you haven't heard yet,
we've learned that Kevin Stefanski, the guy that just sucked
as coach of the Cleveland Browns, is expected to be
a top candidate. Will interview with the Tennessee Titans, who
also suck, the Atlanta Falcons who blow, and the New
(05:36):
York Giants who should go to the Canadian Football League.
But all three of those teams are interested in Kevin
Stefanski for their head coaching vacancy. Now the Giants, the
New York Giants, a team that's been a laughing stock
for about twenty years now. The Giants are said to
be especially all horned up to get their hands on
Kevin Stefanski. That is a good jumping off point. Us
(06:00):
discuss the question is the glass half full or is
it half empty? With the Brown's former coach Kevin Stefanski
being the center of attention on the coaching carousel, So
my thoughts on this, I've got lazy susan mushroom and
(06:21):
board games. Oh gamide all of these things together, and
we're gonna make some chicken schwarma over some rice there
and we'll enjoy. That's somewhat healthy, somewhat healthy. So a
Kevin Stefanski, there's no other way to say it. He
was an abject failure in Cleveland. He didn't even get
(06:42):
it done.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And these other.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Teams are about where Cleveland is. They sucked all of them.
He was the boss. He was the one running the factory,
the factory of sadness.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That was Kevin Stefanski.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He was the floor manager, the boss of the factory
of sadness. And the glass is not just half empty,
it's to the point where it's chip. There's a little
bit of a crack right there, and it's starting to
leak onto the carpet. You might want to get a
towel and put the towel down, and then a bucket
and a mop. Not that you'd use a mop on
(07:18):
the carpet, but there's some flooring off to the side
of the carpet. You might need the mop for that.
So this isn't a love letter to Kevin Stefanski. What
this is the fact that he's a lead candidate for
three other jobs. Is a referendum. It is a referendum
on what a lousy job market it is in the NFL.
And this has been the talk. It's been the chatter
(07:41):
that be careful if you fire your coach, because there's
other bad coaches. There's nobody really all that great out there.
So Cleveland, here's the way you know that this is
not a great hire if you hire Stefanski. You look
at the place he came from. Is anyone who's a
Cleveland Brown fan of that little elf mascot crying? Are
(08:04):
the Browns fans sitting shiva? Are they lighting candles in
memorial for the ending, the decommissioning, the excommunication of Kevin Stefanski. No,
In fact, what they're doing is they're calling Uber Black
to get him to the airport a little faster, is
what they're doing. You look at the resume. Six years coaching,
(08:25):
four losing seasons. One of the years the Browns had
a winning record was because of their defense, not because
of their offense. Eight and twenty six, the last couple
of years. That is a white hot tire fire, is
what that is for the Brownies. Back to back last
place finishes. It's like a broken parking meter, stuck on
fail and that's the Browns town. Now the biggest bugaboo,
(08:49):
the biggest bugaboo. The claim to fame for Kevin Stefanski
offensive coach was with the Vikings offensive coach. Genius, smart
guy knows offense. Yet the Browns offense often looked like
it was your computer that was frozen updating. Updating, do
(09:10):
not shut off updating. So technically the offense was running
like that computer. It was running, but nobody was allowed
to touch anything. Stefanski, an offensive whiz kid, gave up
the play calling multiple times, fired coordinators even though he
(09:32):
was supposedly the coordinator, shuffled quarterbacks. It was like a
lazy Susan on Red Bull. Round and round and round
and round and round. Thirteen starters in six years. Thirteen
starters in six years. Then don't forget Baker Mayfield, who
had issues with Odell Beckham. But it's not like Kevin
Stefanski fought to keep Baker Mayfield in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
All right, this guy's no good, we'll get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Then they brought in the creepy quarterback to Shaun Watson,
and that whole mass and the pr spin cycle. Is
underway on that. There are useful idiots I've seen in
the media saying, well, it's not Stefanski's fault he didn't
want Deshaun Watson. Well, okay, as I remember, and I
went back through my notes, that was not the way
it was portrayed at the time. So do that, do
(10:18):
with that what you want. Just look at the way
in this and nobody's really watching the Browns. Why would
you They're just it's a bad product. You wouldn't watch
a bad product, And why would you do that that said?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I do because I'm a loser.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I do a gambling show on YouTube called Benny Versus
the Penny, So I try to watch a little bit
flip around all these games and all that. So you
look at it the Browns with Stefanski. You want penalties,
we'll give you penalties. You want special team disasters, we'll
give you some of those. You want mental mistakes, unforced errors,
(10:55):
We'll give you.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
A lot of that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The Browns with Stefanski have been swimming in a boiling
cauldron of suck soup. That's what they've been swimming in here.
And so you, as we like to say, you're either
coaching it or you're allowing it to happen. But either way,
it's happening on your watch, and you can't I cannot
wait if Stefanski gets one of these jobs, and it
sounds like the Giants are all horny to get him.
(11:19):
So if the Giants hire Kevin Stefans get this stuff
changes by the hour.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
But I want to be there.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I want to hear the bull crap coming out of
the New York Giants news conference to welcome Stefanski.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Now, speaking of incompetence, let's go to Vegas where people
talk about Vegas not doing well right now, people not
going to Vegas as much as they used to, even
though every time I'm in Vegas it's pack no matter
how much they rip off the people that go to
that city with parking and bull crap fees as they
totally try to destroy that town, the casino companies. But
(11:52):
that said, the Raiders who are in worse shape than
Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Proper, which actually Paradise, Nevada.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
The Raiders have said bye bye to Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He's gone, he gone.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Pete Carroll ran out of the desert, just like he
ran out of ideas.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
He was literally the oldest.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Head coach in NFL history Pete Carroll, and he didn't
make old guys look good.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
He had this vision that he was going to go
in there and recreate his days in Seattle, his final
nine and eight team. Imagine that the goal was to
go nine and eight. Pete Carroll's goal was, let's recreate
the nine and eight Seahawks. We right, rah, Well, how'd
that work out? So they brought in Gino Smith, who
(12:43):
we all know. Anyone of those ball knows this guy blows.
And so they brought in Geno Smith. Dead on a
rival DA DA. The highlight of the Raiders season was
Geno Smith jogging off the field giving the bird to
the fans in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That's Raider football with Pete Carroll.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
If there's one moment that sums up what Pete Carroll
and Gino Smith brought to Vegas, it was given the
bird the people that paid way too much to watch
a crap bag Raider team. So anyway, the Raiders archaic offense,
and he had the firing of multiple coordinators, of course
(13:23):
not his kids who were hired as offensive line coaches
and whatnot. There Pete care didn't fire them. Why would he?
And so the Raiders suppose to. At the beginning of
they had Rock Bauers a generational tight end and Jacoby
Myers a solid possession receiver and Gino Smith was so
bad they couldn't even get those guys the ball regularly.
Keep in mind the person that chose, chose the quarterback
(13:45):
and the coach, Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You're not supposed to say that part. Don't say that
he's Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He's Jesus on football. You can't say anything bad about
Tom Brady. Well, he sucks as a GM. I can't
say that. That's not my opinion, it's a fact based
on his resume. So now these Silver and Black are
back on the market and they're trying to find another
head coach, and this is great. So the rumor the
(14:13):
early and these things again they changed. But the early
rumor making the rounds is that Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Is a smitten kitten.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
He wants to bring in Brian Flores. Yeah, that guy,
the Vikings defensive coordinators making his case to Mark Davis
to hire Brian Flores as the next head coach in
Las Veigs. Keep in mind, last year Tom Brady had
no interest in Brian Flora. Now a year later, all
of a sudden, I kind of.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Like that guy.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I want that guy, all right, So question tom Brady
said to be targeting the Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores
as the next Raiders head coach. Are you intrigued by
this story? Are you intrigued by this story? So yeah,
I'm nodding my head. If you're watching on the YouTube
feed later, I'm not nodding my idees. It's like one
(15:03):
of those dashboard bobbleheads, you know. It's you're driving on
a pot hole filled highway somewhere. You're you're nodding because
it does check out, Like we can see Tom Brady
another case where I'd like to be a fly on
the wall. There As Tom Brady makes his case, whispering
sweet nothings to Mark Davis and also trying to flirt
(15:27):
with Brian Flores at the same time, Brady and Brian
Flores go way back their old Patriot Way guys, right.
Brian Flores was hired as like a twenty three year
old guy with the Patriots, worked his way up grinding
the film working as an intern, and then no lunch
breaks and all that climbed the Belichick ladder rung by
(15:48):
wrong while Tom Brady was winning Super Bowls. No, no elevator,
by the way, and when when Belichick was there, they
had just just stairs and there was no parking valley.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So they have that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And don't forget Brian Flores once tried to bring Tom
Brady to Miami as a quarterback. Brady also attempted to
own part of the team, which is part of the
reason that didn't really work out. So this is Brady
and Flores getting together is kind of like that old
flame you used to hook up with that was like
a booty call that slides into the DMS there at
(16:23):
two in the morning. Hey, stranger, how would you like
to coach the Raiders?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What do you want to curse me? Tom? You want
to curse me? You want me to coach the Raider?
What's wrong with you? I do respect the hustle, I do.
I do. But let's not ignore the snuffleufagus.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
In the room, as Alf the alien opineter would point out,
and that would be the mushroom, the toxic mushroom cloud.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Brian Flores is in active litigation. He is suing the
NFL he's playing the race card from the bottom of
the deck, all right, which means his name is on
the NFL's no fly list. You know, you can be
a head you give me a coach, but he can
be a head coach. It's right next to do not
(17:12):
resuscitate a head coaching career. There's a little note there
as well. And hiring him would be like bringing a
skunk to a garden party if you bring Brian Flores
in there, and it's kind of like the unwelcome outhouse
breeze that just shows up because the wind changes, and
I don't want to smell that. But we know Mark
Davis loves PF changs and hates confrontation. We know that
(17:34):
about Mark Davis. So if he's choosing the Raiders' owner,
even though Tom Brady is the one that's doing this
by proxy, However, if he's choosing between coaches who are
suing the NFL, doesn't it make more sense If you're
Mark Davis, you're gonna hire somebody who's suing the NFL.
Wouldn't you bring back Chucky? You're paying him anyway, he's
futzing around playing grab ass at barstool. Why not bring
(17:56):
in John Gruden and have a family reunion, have a
big barbecue and knock yourself out. Just pretend nothing happened.
And that's that. And so this story, it does have legs,
the Tom Brady Bryan Flores stuff, but they're wobbly. And
if you look at the malor math on this is
it intriguing? Yeah, it's intriguing. Sure is it realistics? That's
(18:18):
another sandwich entirely right. Meanwhile, to Miami, speaking of coaches
and nonsense, the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel, Yeah, the weirdo.
Mike McDaniel said that he is going to be part
of the Miami Dolphins interview process to find agm say what,
uh yeah, And he says he will remain the head
(18:39):
coach until he's told he's not that coach. I guess
there's no one to fire him because they got rid
of the GM now. McDaniel also confirmed that there will
be a quarterback competition in twenty twenty six and the
team will be, he said, diligent in finding their next starter.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That means whether it's someone on the outside or someone
on the inside and all that.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So, question, how does this Mike McDaniel story sound to
you with the Dolphins. Where he's claiming he is a seat.
He has a seat at the table. He has a
seat at the table. So Mike McDaniel, he's what he's
doing here. He's playing board games. He's not playing Monopoly,
he's not playing scrabble. This is not trivial pursuit. This
(19:26):
is guess who, Guess who? The Ultimate blame game, the
Ultimate Blame Game, South Florida Edition. And McDaniel what he's
doing here as he's shifting the finger of blame, the
finger of blame, and he's doing it faster than a
(19:47):
local hack politician, dodging taxes and all that stuff. So,
as Chris Carter, my professor, Chris Carter taught me, and
he taught you as well. In the NFL, you gotta
have a fall guy. It sounds right now like the
fall guy is to a tongue of Iolawa.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
That McDaniel, the hipster, genius head coach in Miami who,
let's not forget, or maybe we should forget, was hired
to fix Tua as Tua was under the tutelage of
the aforementioned Brian Flores for a couple of years. That
didn't work out, and so then they brought in the
hipster forty nine er offensive genius Mike McDaniel to fix
(20:27):
the Dolphins and Tua and all that stuff. And what happened, well,
that ended up with him benching to a tongue of
iloa by week fifteen, trotting out the seventh round rookie
Quinn yours, and now declaring an open quarterback competition in
twenty twenty six, which is him washing his hands a
whole mess. It's gonna scrub a dub dub and that's it.
(20:50):
And you look around, it's the McDaniel twisting in the
wind situation. There's a lot of bureaucracy. Rich guys love bureaucracy,
they do. And Steven Ross, the owner of the Dolphins,
is a rich guy. So there's a lot of bureaucracy there.
You've got red tape in the air everywhere. You hired
(21:10):
a head hunting firm that has got to be the
biggest scam. Head hunting firm pay hundreds of thousands, millions
of dollars, and I mean I could do that for
half the money, a quarter of the money, and I
have the same success rate. These high falutin front anyway,
so they bring in these consultant. They have consultants up
(21:32):
the wazoo, and you might remember Troy Aikman, Troy Aikman,
mister Dallas, Cowboy TV guy. Troy Aikman has a gig
there meddling. And you've got Dan Marino selling you ISOTNA gloves.
He's also in the mix. Now, the top GM candidates,
we are told most of them are people that have
(21:53):
ties to the forty nine ers and McDaniel that could
be the saving grace. There could a weasel word. McDaniel
came from the forty nine ers, and so they all
know each other. Everyone's in bed with everyone else, and
so there you go. But either way, my position is
that Mike McDaniel ain't out of the danger zone yet.
You would think if you're a new GM coming in,
(22:15):
you want to hire your coach. You don't want the
leftover coach. You want to bring your coach in, not
the guy that was already there. So he's pointing the
blame cannon McDaniel at Tua tongue of Ilo. But the
the ship be sinking, the ship be sinking, and the
fall guy might flip.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The fall guy very well might flip here, So hold on.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
To your fins. It's gonna get good. It's gonna get good.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Back to it well, King Rory writes in He's in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
He says, as the Cleveland Round look for a new
head coach, are they more likely to ask Miles Garrett
or Shouldur Sanders for input on how they on who
they would hire?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I think, he said, how but who they should hire?
How about none of the above?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
They should trade Miles Garrett and Shadra Sanders has about
as much of a chance being the starting quarterback for
the Browns Week one next year as Dick in Dayton.
Speaking of that, Rob the Goatman says, I would like
to see our buddy Dick from Dayton select a new
head coach of the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Of the Raiders, why would he Goatman? He no, not
the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
No anyway, God Goatman says he's already got Belichick to
the Browns.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Well, that is true, which is brilliant.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I hear Tom loves Dick from Dayton, so this would
be a bullseye higher.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So he says, there you go? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, Ryan writes in from so Cal. He says, if
Brian Flores is hired as the Raiders head coach, Al
Davis is dancing in heaven and giving the NFL the
middle finger commitment to crap you feeme in Shechechicago right
said He's says, hey Mallard a plus plus and a
Brinks truck full of deep dish on the opening Malle monologue,
(27:06):
Dump bears are going to making grilled cheese sandwiches this weekend.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
We don't need defense, we don't.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
There you go, So he's got it all planned out,
you femi? Do you have your your spread for the
game planned out?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
The menu?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Is that ready to go? Nature Boy answering the call
to the wild says, the Raiders should go with John Gruden.
Give the man a second chance, so it'll be like
a third or fourth chance or something like that.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Bill Hoo's your Bill? Who's your daddy? Who's your Bill?
Says Ben.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
The Raiders should just use chat GPT and whoever they
recommend to hire that person as the coach.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
That's some who's your Bill?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
What about Rock? Or what's the Google AI? I don't
know what that's called. There's a bunch of AI stuff,
So you just pick chat GPT the biggest one. Eileen
in the Bay rights in. She says, my local affiliate is.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Still crying where where when?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Where about the Warriors losing by one point to the Clippers.
So it's Fox Sports Radio Live on the iHeartRadio app
for the Ben Maliship. We'll think how embarrassing is it
for the Golden State Warriors though? The Clippers, who are
terrible this year and they're playing a little bit better recently,
but they suck all over the course of the year,
and they didn't have James Harden in that game. I
(28:24):
thought the Warriors were supposed to be a decent team.
The Warriors are closing into five hundred. Terry one game
above five hundred right now, and what happened to mister
automatica Stephen Curry who took fifteen to three point shots
and only made four of them. Now, I saw about
two minutes of this game.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I did not watch the majority of the game because
Clipper sucked. But however, could it be the into a
dome that Curry cannot handle that rabid Clipper fan base
and that's why he missed all those shots. Eleven out
of fIF teen shots missed by Steph Curry from three
point range. And somebody named Kobe Sanders I don't even
(29:05):
know who that is scored twenty points for the Clippers
in that gim But you didn't want to hear about
that because that's your local affiliates complaining about that.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Tom from Fullerton says, is it true?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
The Raiders are now paying out five former five former
head coaches? The Raiders went from Bay Area fixture to
just another overpriced Vegas attraction. You ever seen the Charger
fans in large numbers and even see the Charger fans
rather than large numbers in Vegas as Tom from Fullerton.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, it's it's pretty good, right, It's it's pretty good
that the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I think the numbers like fifty million dollars that the
Raiders are paying out. How do I get that gig?
How do I want one of those jobs? They get
like a five year contract and then after a year
that's it.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I'm good. Just keep paying me. And the rule is
you can't trash the franchise. But that is insane.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, the Raiders are paying Antonio Pierce eight million dollars,
Josh McDaniels ten million, John Gruden's getting ten million, Pete
Carroll's getting sixteen million, and Chip Kelly's getting six million.
So to not coach the Raiders, that's fifty million dollars
the Raiders are going to pay out, which is wild,
(30:31):
wild and crazy. And that's some good passive income, is
what that is. That's solid passive income. Let's go to
the phones. Let's say hello to Jed who fled, who's
somewhere in the swamp land of Florida trying to avoid
alligators and police cars.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Hello, Jed, who fled?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
So much to them that I listen, Ben and Glenn,
I heard for so long client Client is to meet
so criminal, I treated talent so wrong, so much fear
the still Paul felt criminally flawed silence diod life in
a fence from unwritten might check law. So now do
I just waiting? Let's start finish their song quietness. Quietness
(31:11):
is no longer criminal, just proof I've grown strong, Ben.
My newest resolution is just to not these drugs. I'm
not gonna love to do me anymore. I'm gonna start
doing them and I'm gonna be quiet. Think before I speak,
and that's my first step. Okay, that's not on the
twelve steps point five. Step point five is thinking before
I speak. I gotta stand blaming you and Glenn Beck
(31:33):
fulfilling the sounds I'll talking. Dang, I'm trying to mess
up my car hold on this thing. Indeed, I'm sorry.
It's just a lot anyway, I start buckling up, that's
a note of bad. Buckle up before I get on
their or do you think about that? Which one is
more important?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
See? What's more your mule up for safety?
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Think before you speak, or you'll probably get jass kicks sometimes.
So each twenty things.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, well you've never really thought before you weak, so
I don't know why you would.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
I'm gonna fall in any regards, dude, yeah, I'm all
about thinking and I lay on the count.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Usually when do you lay on the coutch You're always
wandering around, you're never home.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Yeah, I was just thinking. I can't think the last
time I laid down, Like I got to sleep all
the time, think out of my mind. But I'm synthetic.
Now I blame you to just the drug.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I'm the You're blaming me. Is my fault? Oh that's
a I'm a drug. Yes, I'm addictive.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Yes. Instead of spinning out, dude, I'm benning out. I'm
being out and glenning out. And if y'all weren't on
in the early morning and then record one.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
So how long?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Well, how long is it? Yes, sue me?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, yeah, get get take a number, take a number
from the Delhi count, assume me.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
But what is uh?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
How long is Glenn on? Is he the three hours?
All right? So I'm on I'm on four, he's on three.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
So that means, if my malor math is correct, you've
got seventeen other hours to play with during the day,
seventeen hours a day that we're.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Not on the air.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Here's my other resolations. I used to flip phone for signal,
but What that does is it puts to the microphone
directly in front of your mouth and might go back
and listening to my cars it's off, sound like I'm
outside some girls window to market hoody, because yes.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
You sound like that.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Just now you sound like you have swallowed the phone.
You have literally your the phone is coming from your belly.
It sounds like right now, it's in the middle of
your stomach.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I'm on me for some reason.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Like the thunder.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Oh my god, did the womans gotta touch?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Come on, Ben, you next? You take the next verse.
I'm good, I'm good, all right? Are you done?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I thank you? That's there is Jed who song We'll
come back with that? Is it true?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
An NFL head coach wanting the can noodle can noodle
with a reporter. That would be Sean Payton, the head
coach of the Broncos, who got into it with a
columnist in Colorado who has been taking those shots at
the Bronco in the news coms. That wasn't the audio
is not great. I was gonna play the audio, but
that's not that great. So something called the Denver Gazette.
(34:08):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I have no idea. Sounds like a newspaper, but it
sounds like yeah. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
So this longtime columnist was there at the news conference
the Broncos coach had and there was asked, well, the
columnist didn't ask any questions, but the one of the
writers asked about the Broncos being a miserable red zone
team and whether Sean Payton was concerned about and Peyton
said absolutely. He says, look, am I ever happy? No,
(34:36):
but we shouldn't be as coaches. And then someone said
some one one of the people in the media room said,
truer words have never been spoken, and he kind of
mumbled it, and then Peyton heard it and then asked
him to say it or something like that, and then
he repeated it. The columnists, who he said, has been
at the news conferences a lot, he said, speak up,
(34:58):
miss is Sean Payton says, speak up you always You're
always here, Peyton said of the columnist, And we won't
say his name because no one's ever heard of this guy.
But you never make eye contact. The Broncos coach said,
never asked many questions, but you have a lot to write, said,
Sean Payton. Sounds like Peyton wants a canoodle with that writer.
(35:19):
Sounds to me that he would like to have some
nice eye eye contact and maybe some footsie.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
It could be some footsie there too, could be.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, very reminiscent of the Lions coach the Rocket Scientist,
who was upset at one of the reporters for the
Lions not having good posture when Matt Patricia went on
a rant about the posture.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Of the only the writers there. So, uh, there you go.
I've never I've never had some say I need more
eye contact. If you are going to ask me questions,
you better stand up street and look me dead in
the eye. Do you need eye contact? I need you
need eye contact. I need contact deepen the pupils. I
(36:00):
don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
You know, it's a little lowkward the eye contact things
a little weird now, Yeah, it was a little locked there.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, I don't know if I need that time out
for the who am I? Game? Here we go? Who
am I?
Speaker 6 (36:10):

Brian Billick from The Nature Boy, Brian Spend's part of
the year right near our guy. I spent about a
year trying to get Brian Billick on the on the
podcast they do on the weekends there, and he finally
showed up and it was fine whatever, and look at
its twin Nature Boy, very nice.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
What do we have here?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Daddy says been the I Mallard. I think he meant Ben,
but he said Ben Soupy Sales. That's not a dated
reference from Johnny qughes. Does he get any more relevant
than Soupy Sales? No, Mark grizz Alonic from James. Now, James,
if you were listening back in the day, we did
the Mallards spelling Bee and that was the hardest name
(39:36):
the spell at the time. We did the Mallards spelling
Bee when he was playing for the Dodgers and the
Montreal Expos back in the day.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Who else do we have? Page Den can't read that.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Scrooge made some comment about the Warriors and he was
saying something about like rings still waiting for that clippery.
I guess those rings the Warriors were. Maybe that's why
they missed all those shots. Maybe they should have taken
those rings off? Who's your bill going? With Helen? As
his answer, Alf the alien opiner says, Rashee Caldwell is
(40:07):

Holy cow, it's our number one, our number one of
the Ben Mathers Show, the original Recipe Original Recipe podcast
You're all night long for fresh pod on demand. Here
in our number one is the glass half full or
half empty? With Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski being the center
(00:22):
of attention on the coaching carouself three teams hot and
heavy flirting with Kevin Stefanski. Also, Tom Brady is targeting
the Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores as the raiders next
head coach. Are you intrigued by this story? And how
does this Mike McDaniel deal sound? He claims, Hey, I'm
(00:44):
gonna help find the next GM in Miamis How are
things looking for Mike McDaniel with the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's all coming away right now on this sixth day
of January, Happy Tuesday, here is our one. Tis my
favorite time of the year where NFL teams are dumpster diving.
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
(01:18):
Malors Show. We are in the air e of reware
in partnership as we have our special post holiday doorbuster
take sales ongoing going right now. Coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and enormously powerful
(01:40):
microphones of fs are ammunating live from the diarrhea, the
verbal diarrhea. Die die diarrhea. We got it all night long.
Just keep talking and talking and talking and talking and
talking and talking and talking from the world famous Fox
Sports Radio studios where legends like Danny and Nashville have
(02:05):
sat outside in the bushes like a creepy person. Not
Rob the Goatman, though he has not done that, but
this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made
possible impart There's the goat Man by our friends at
tire Rack. For over forty years, I've told us a
long time, tire Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
(02:28):
fast and free back by, free road hazard protection, with
convenient installation options, which alf Fergdog and Malaprop Guy like
a lot like mobile tire installation. Now, mister nice Guy
says for him, it's all about tire raq dot com.
That's the website, the way tire buying show be and
(02:49):
we're back at it here always enlightening time.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know, there are days you come.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
In to the radio studio and you look around and
you're like, all right, we're gonna be taking turds and
throwing them against the wall and.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Seeing what sticks. And then there's other days.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You come in and you're like, okay, we'll do like
twelve hours of talk radio.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
This would be one of those days. But we're gonna
start our lead this hour from the coaching carousel. Round
and round and round and round.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The coaching carousel goes, and the Brownies have said.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Bye bye, bye bye to their head coach.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Now, the great thing about being the brown head coaches
you never really have to learn the name of the
Browns head coach because they're never any good and they're
not there all that long now, by Brown standards, Kevin
Stefanski had a pretty good run.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Six years, six year, two winning seasons. That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But six years as coach of the Browns. Now, the
most mind boggling part of that story is the incompetent
GM Andrew Barry. Andrew Barry kept his job, he will
remain in charge, and he will hire the next coach
of the Cleveland brown Because, as our friends Strip Club
(04:02):
John in Cleveland and others know, the Brown's ownership Jimmy
Haslman Company.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You know, they don't really know what's really going on.
They don't.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Now here's Andrew Berry. Here we'll hear from the man
of the hour. Here, the GM who somehow kept his job.
I'd love to know how that conversation went. But here's
Andrew Berry commenting on why the Browns have decommissioned their
head coach.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Coming into the season, we were realistic that, you know,
we were a team and a roster in transition, and
ultimately this decision is born from the fact that we've
ultimately felt like we did not see enough progress in
areas that were controllable independent of certain game outcomes.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
All right, well, the story is not so much that
we'll have plenty of time to goof on the Browns.
It's low hanging fruit, which is always delicious, the most
delicious and just the juiciest fruit is low hanging fruit.
So the story here is the fact that Kevin Stefanski
has now become the flavor of the week.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
In the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
If you believe the noise, if you hear the noise,
you believe the noise. If you buy the noise, and
who knows what's.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Real or not.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But there's a lot of chatter either it's real or
Stefanski's got a lot of buddies in the media that
are planting stories about him. So if you haven't heard yet,
we've learned that Kevin Stefanski, the guy that just sucked
as coach of the Cleveland Browns, is expected to be
a top candidate. Will interview with the Tennessee Titans, who
also suck, the Atlanta Falcons who blow, and the New
(05:36):
York Giants who should go to the Canadian Football League.
But all three of those teams are interested in Kevin
Stefanski for their head coaching vacancy. Now the Giants, the
New York Giants, a team that's been a laughing stock
for about twenty years now. The Giants are said to
be especially all horned up to get their hands on
Kevin Stefanski. That is a good jumping off point. Us
(06:00):
discuss the question is the glass half full or is
it half empty? With the Brown's former coach Kevin Stefanski
being the center of attention on the coaching carousel, So
my thoughts on this, I've got lazy susan mushroom and
(06:21):
board games. Oh gamide all of these things together, and
we're gonna make some chicken schwarma over some rice there
and we'll enjoy. That's somewhat healthy, somewhat healthy. So a
Kevin Stefanski, there's no other way to say it. He
was an abject failure in Cleveland. He didn't even get
(06:42):
it done.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And these other.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Teams are about where Cleveland is. They sucked all of them.
He was the boss. He was the one running the factory,
the factory of sadness.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That was Kevin Stefanski.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He was the floor manager, the boss of the factory
of sadness. And the glass is not just half empty,
it's to the point where it's chip. There's a little
bit of a crack right there, and it's starting to
leak onto the carpet. You might want to get a
towel and put the towel down, and then a bucket
and a mop. Not that you'd use a mop on
(07:18):
the carpet, but there's some flooring off to the side
of the carpet. You might need the mop for that.
So this isn't a love letter to Kevin Stefanski. What
this is the fact that he's a lead candidate for
three other jobs. Is a referendum. It is a referendum
on what a lousy job market it is in the NFL.
And this has been the talk. It's been the chatter
(07:41):
that be careful if you fire your coach, because there's
other bad coaches. There's nobody really all that great out there.
So Cleveland, here's the way you know that this is
not a great hire if you hire Stefanski. You look
at the place he came from. Is anyone who's a
Cleveland Brown fan of that little elf mascot crying? Are
(08:04):
the Browns fans sitting shiva? Are they lighting candles in
memorial for the ending, the decommissioning, the excommunication of Kevin Stefanski. No,
In fact, what they're doing is they're calling Uber Black
to get him to the airport a little faster, is
what they're doing. You look at the resume. Six years coaching,
(08:25):
four losing seasons. One of the years the Browns had
a winning record was because of their defense, not because
of their offense. Eight and twenty six, the last couple
of years. That is a white hot tire fire, is
what that is for the Brownies. Back to back last
place finishes. It's like a broken parking meter, stuck on
fail and that's the Browns town. Now the biggest bugaboo,
(08:49):
the biggest bugaboo. The claim to fame for Kevin Stefanski
offensive coach was with the Vikings offensive coach. Genius, smart
guy knows offense. Yet the Browns offense often looked like
it was your computer that was frozen updating. Updating, do
(09:10):
not shut off updating. So technically the offense was running
like that computer. It was running, but nobody was allowed
to touch anything. Stefanski, an offensive whiz kid, gave up
the play calling multiple times, fired coordinators even though he
(09:32):
was supposedly the coordinator, shuffled quarterbacks. It was like a
lazy Susan on Red Bull. Round and round and round
and round and round. Thirteen starters in six years. Thirteen
starters in six years. Then don't forget Baker Mayfield, who
had issues with Odell Beckham. But it's not like Kevin
Stefanski fought to keep Baker Mayfield in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
All right, this guy's no good, we'll get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Then they brought in the creepy quarterback to Shaun Watson,
and that whole mass and the pr spin cycle. Is
underway on that. There are useful idiots I've seen in
the media saying, well, it's not Stefanski's fault he didn't
want Deshaun Watson. Well, okay, as I remember, and I
went back through my notes, that was not the way
it was portrayed at the time. So do that, do
(10:18):
with that what you want. Just look at the way
in this and nobody's really watching the Browns. Why would
you They're just it's a bad product. You wouldn't watch
a bad product, And why would you do that that said?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I do because I'm a loser.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I do a gambling show on YouTube called Benny Versus
the Penny, So I try to watch a little bit
flip around all these games and all that. So you
look at it the Browns with Stefanski. You want penalties,
we'll give you penalties. You want special team disasters, we'll
give you some of those. You want mental mistakes, unforced errors,
(10:55):
We'll give you.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
A lot of that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The Browns with Stefanski have been swimming in a boiling
cauldron of suck soup. That's what they've been swimming in here.
And so you, as we like to say, you're either
coaching it or you're allowing it to happen. But either way,
it's happening on your watch, and you can't I cannot
wait if Stefanski gets one of these jobs, and it
sounds like the Giants are all horny to get him.
(11:19):
So if the Giants hire Kevin Stefans get this stuff
changes by the hour.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
But I want to be there.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I want to hear the bull crap coming out of
the New York Giants news conference to welcome Stefanski.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I cannot wait.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Now, speaking of incompetence, let's go to Vegas where people
talk about Vegas not doing well right now, people not
going to Vegas as much as they used to, even
though every time I'm in Vegas it's pack no matter
how much they rip off the people that go to
that city with parking and bull crap fees as they
totally try to destroy that town, the casino companies. But
(11:52):
that said, the Raiders who are in worse shape than
Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Proper, which actually Paradise, Nevada.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
The Raiders have said bye bye to Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He's gone, he gone.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Pete Carroll ran out of the desert, just like he
ran out of ideas.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
He was literally the oldest.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Head coach in NFL history Pete Carroll, and he didn't
make old guys look good.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
He had this vision that he was going to go
in there and recreate his days in Seattle, his final
nine and eight team. Imagine that the goal was to
go nine and eight. Pete Carroll's goal was, let's recreate
the nine and eight Seahawks. We right, rah, Well, how'd
that work out? So they brought in Gino Smith, who
(12:43):
we all know. Anyone of those ball knows this guy blows.
And so they brought in Geno Smith. Dead on a
rival DA DA. The highlight of the Raiders season was
Geno Smith jogging off the field giving the bird to
the fans in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That's Raider football with Pete Carroll.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
If there's one moment that sums up what Pete Carroll
and Gino Smith brought to Vegas, it was given the
bird the people that paid way too much to watch
a crap bag Raider team. So anyway, the Raiders archaic offense,
and he had the firing of multiple coordinators, of course
(13:23):
not his kids who were hired as offensive line coaches
and whatnot. There Pete care didn't fire them. Why would he?
And so the Raiders suppose to. At the beginning of
they had Rock Bauers a generational tight end and Jacoby
Myers a solid possession receiver and Gino Smith was so
bad they couldn't even get those guys the ball regularly.
Keep in mind the person that chose, chose the quarterback
(13:45):
and the coach, Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You're not supposed to say that part. Don't say that
he's Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He's Jesus on football. You can't say anything bad about
Tom Brady. Well, he sucks as a GM. I can't
say that. That's not my opinion, it's a fact based
on his resume. So now these Silver and Black are
back on the market and they're trying to find another
head coach, and this is great. So the rumor the
(14:13):
early and these things again they changed. But the early
rumor making the rounds is that Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Is a smitten kitten.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
He wants to bring in Brian Flores. Yeah, that guy,
the Vikings defensive coordinators making his case to Mark Davis
to hire Brian Flores as the next head coach in
Las Veigs. Keep in mind, last year Tom Brady had
no interest in Brian Flora. Now a year later, all
of a sudden, I kind of.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Like that guy.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I want that guy, all right, So question tom Brady
said to be targeting the Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores
as the next Raiders head coach. Are you intrigued by
this story? Are you intrigued by this story? So yeah,
I'm nodding my head. If you're watching on the YouTube
feed later, I'm not nodding my idees. It's like one
(15:03):
of those dashboard bobbleheads, you know. It's you're driving on
a pot hole filled highway somewhere. You're you're nodding because
it does check out, Like we can see Tom Brady
another case where I'd like to be a fly on
the wall. There As Tom Brady makes his case, whispering
sweet nothings to Mark Davis and also trying to flirt
(15:27):
with Brian Flores at the same time, Brady and Brian
Flores go way back their old Patriot Way guys, right.
Brian Flores was hired as like a twenty three year
old guy with the Patriots, worked his way up grinding
the film working as an intern, and then no lunch
breaks and all that climbed the Belichick ladder rung by
(15:48):
wrong while Tom Brady was winning Super Bowls. No, no elevator,
by the way, and when when Belichick was there, they
had just just stairs and there was no parking valley.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So they have that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And don't forget Brian Flores once tried to bring Tom
Brady to Miami as a quarterback. Brady also attempted to
own part of the team, which is part of the
reason that didn't really work out. So this is Brady
and Flores getting together is kind of like that old
flame you used to hook up with that was like
a booty call that slides into the DMS there at
(16:23):
two in the morning. Hey, stranger, how would you like
to coach the Raiders?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What do you want to curse me? Tom? You want
to curse me? You want me to coach the Raider?
What's wrong with you? I do respect the hustle, I do.
I do. But let's not ignore the snuffleufagus.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
In the room, as Alf the alien opineter would point out,
and that would be the mushroom, the toxic mushroom cloud.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Brian Flores is in active litigation. He is suing the
NFL he's playing the race card from the bottom of
the deck, all right, which means his name is on
the NFL's no fly list. You know, you can be
a head you give me a coach, but he can
be a head coach. It's right next to do not
(17:12):
resuscitate a head coaching career. There's a little note there
as well. And hiring him would be like bringing a
skunk to a garden party if you bring Brian Flores
in there, and it's kind of like the unwelcome outhouse
breeze that just shows up because the wind changes, and
I don't want to smell that. But we know Mark
Davis loves PF changs and hates confrontation. We know that
(17:34):
about Mark Davis. So if he's choosing the Raiders' owner,
even though Tom Brady is the one that's doing this
by proxy, However, if he's choosing between coaches who are
suing the NFL, doesn't it make more sense If you're
Mark Davis, you're gonna hire somebody who's suing the NFL.
Wouldn't you bring back Chucky? You're paying him anyway, he's
futzing around playing grab ass at barstool. Why not bring
(17:56):
in John Gruden and have a family reunion, have a
big barbecue and knock yourself out. Just pretend nothing happened.
And that's that. And so this story, it does have legs,
the Tom Brady Bryan Flores stuff, but they're wobbly. And
if you look at the malor math on this is
it intriguing? Yeah, it's intriguing. Sure is it realistics? That's
(18:18):
another sandwich entirely right. Meanwhile, to Miami, speaking of coaches
and nonsense, the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel, Yeah, the weirdo.
Mike McDaniel said that he is going to be part
of the Miami Dolphins interview process to find agm say what,
uh yeah, And he says he will remain the head
(18:39):
coach until he's told he's not that coach. I guess
there's no one to fire him because they got rid
of the GM now. McDaniel also confirmed that there will
be a quarterback competition in twenty twenty six and the
team will be, he said, diligent in finding their next starter.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That means whether it's someone on the outside or someone
on the inside and all that.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So, question, how does this Mike McDaniel story sound to
you with the Dolphins. Where he's claiming he is a seat.
He has a seat at the table. He has a
seat at the table. So Mike McDaniel, he's what he's
doing here. He's playing board games. He's not playing Monopoly,
he's not playing scrabble. This is not trivial pursuit. This
(19:26):
is guess who, Guess who? The Ultimate blame game, the
Ultimate Blame Game, South Florida Edition. And McDaniel what he's
doing here as he's shifting the finger of blame, the
finger of blame, and he's doing it faster than a
(19:47):
local hack politician, dodging taxes and all that stuff. So,
as Chris Carter, my professor, Chris Carter taught me, and
he taught you as well. In the NFL, you gotta
have a fall guy. It sounds right now like the
fall guy is to a tongue of Iolawa.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
That McDaniel, the hipster, genius head coach in Miami who,
let's not forget, or maybe we should forget, was hired
to fix Tua as Tua was under the tutelage of
the aforementioned Brian Flores for a couple of years. That
didn't work out, and so then they brought in the
hipster forty nine er offensive genius Mike McDaniel to fix
(20:27):
the Dolphins and Tua and all that stuff. And what happened, well,
that ended up with him benching to a tongue of
iloa by week fifteen, trotting out the seventh round rookie
Quinn yours, and now declaring an open quarterback competition in
twenty twenty six, which is him washing his hands a
whole mess. It's gonna scrub a dub dub and that's it.
(20:50):
And you look around, it's the McDaniel twisting in the
wind situation. There's a lot of bureaucracy. Rich guys love bureaucracy,
they do. And Steven Ross, the owner of the Dolphins,
is a rich guy. So there's a lot of bureaucracy there.
You've got red tape in the air everywhere. You hired
(21:10):
a head hunting firm that has got to be the
biggest scam. Head hunting firm pay hundreds of thousands, millions
of dollars, and I mean I could do that for
half the money, a quarter of the money, and I
have the same success rate. These high falutin front anyway,
so they bring in these consultant. They have consultants up
(21:32):
the wazoo, and you might remember Troy Aikman, Troy Aikman,
mister Dallas, Cowboy TV guy. Troy Aikman has a gig
there meddling. And you've got Dan Marino selling you ISOTNA gloves.
He's also in the mix. Now, the top GM candidates,
we are told most of them are people that have
(21:53):
ties to the forty nine ers and McDaniel that could
be the saving grace. There could a weasel word. McDaniel
came from the forty nine ers, and so they all
know each other. Everyone's in bed with everyone else, and
so there you go. But either way, my position is
that Mike McDaniel ain't out of the danger zone yet.
You would think if you're a new GM coming in,
(22:15):
you want to hire your coach. You don't want the
leftover coach. You want to bring your coach in, not
the guy that was already there. So he's pointing the
blame cannon McDaniel at Tua tongue of Ilo. But the
the ship be sinking, the ship be sinking, and the
fall guy might flip.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The fall guy very well might flip here, So hold on.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
To your fins. It's gonna get good. It's gonna get good.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Back to it well, King Rory writes in He's in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
He says, as the Cleveland Round look for a new
head coach, are they more likely to ask Miles Garrett
or Shouldur Sanders for input on how they on who
they would hire?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I think, he said, how but who they should hire?
How about none of the above?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
They should trade Miles Garrett and Shadra Sanders has about
as much of a chance being the starting quarterback for
the Browns Week one next year as Dick in Dayton.
Speaking of that, Rob the Goatman says, I would like
to see our buddy Dick from Dayton select a new
head coach of the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Of the Raiders, why would he Goatman? He no, not
the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
No anyway, God Goatman says he's already got Belichick to
the Browns.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Well, that is true, which is brilliant.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I hear Tom loves Dick from Dayton, so this would
be a bullseye higher.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So he says, there you go? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, Ryan writes in from so Cal. He says, if
Brian Flores is hired as the Raiders head coach, Al
Davis is dancing in heaven and giving the NFL the
middle finger commitment to crap you feeme in Shechechicago right
said He's says, hey Mallard a plus plus and a
Brinks truck full of deep dish on the opening Malle monologue,
(27:06):
Dump bears are going to making grilled cheese sandwiches this weekend.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
We don't need defense, we don't.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
There you go, So he's got it all planned out,
you femi? Do you have your your spread for the
game planned out?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
The menu?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Is that ready to go? Nature Boy answering the call
to the wild says, the Raiders should go with John Gruden.
Give the man a second chance, so it'll be like
a third or fourth chance or something like that.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Bill Hoo's your Bill? Who's your daddy? Who's your Bill?
Says Ben.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
The Raiders should just use chat GPT and whoever they
recommend to hire that person as the coach.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
That's some who's your Bill?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
What about Rock? Or what's the Google AI? I don't
know what that's called. There's a bunch of AI stuff,
So you just pick chat GPT the biggest one. Eileen
in the Bay rights in. She says, my local affiliate is.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Still crying where where when?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Where about the Warriors losing by one point to the Clippers.
So it's Fox Sports Radio Live on the iHeartRadio app
for the Ben Maliship. We'll think how embarrassing is it
for the Golden State Warriors though? The Clippers, who are
terrible this year and they're playing a little bit better recently,
but they suck all over the course of the year,
and they didn't have James Harden in that game. I
(28:24):
thought the Warriors were supposed to be a decent team.
The Warriors are closing into five hundred. Terry one game
above five hundred right now, and what happened to mister
automatica Stephen Curry who took fifteen to three point shots
and only made four of them. Now, I saw about
two minutes of this game.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I did not watch the majority of the game because
Clipper sucked. But however, could it be the into a
dome that Curry cannot handle that rabid Clipper fan base
and that's why he missed all those shots. Eleven out
of fIF teen shots missed by Steph Curry from three
point range. And somebody named Kobe Sanders I don't even
(29:05):
know who that is scored twenty points for the Clippers
in that gim But you didn't want to hear about
that because that's your local affiliates complaining about that.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Tom from Fullerton says, is it true?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
The Raiders are now paying out five former five former
head coaches? The Raiders went from Bay Area fixture to
just another overpriced Vegas attraction. You ever seen the Charger
fans in large numbers and even see the Charger fans
rather than large numbers in Vegas as Tom from Fullerton.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, it's it's pretty good, right, It's it's pretty good
that the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I think the numbers like fifty million dollars that the
Raiders are paying out. How do I get that gig?
How do I want one of those jobs? They get
like a five year contract and then after a year
that's it.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I'm good. Just keep paying me. And the rule is
you can't trash the franchise. But that is insane.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, the Raiders are paying Antonio Pierce eight million dollars,
Josh McDaniels ten million, John Gruden's getting ten million, Pete
Carroll's getting sixteen million, and Chip Kelly's getting six million.
So to not coach the Raiders, that's fifty million dollars
the Raiders are going to pay out, which is wild,
(30:31):
wild and crazy. And that's some good passive income, is
what that is. That's solid passive income. Let's go to
the phones. Let's say hello to Jed who fled, who's
somewhere in the swamp land of Florida trying to avoid
alligators and police cars.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Hello, Jed, who fled?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
So much to them that I listen, Ben and Glenn,
I heard for so long client Client is to meet
so criminal, I treated talent so wrong, so much fear
the still Paul felt criminally flawed silence diod life in
a fence from unwritten might check law. So now do
I just waiting? Let's start finish their song quietness. Quietness
(31:11):
is no longer criminal, just proof I've grown strong, Ben.
My newest resolution is just to not these drugs. I'm
not gonna love to do me anymore. I'm gonna start
doing them and I'm gonna be quiet. Think before I speak,
and that's my first step. Okay, that's not on the
twelve steps point five. Step point five is thinking before
I speak. I gotta stand blaming you and Glenn Beck
(31:33):
fulfilling the sounds I'll talking. Dang, I'm trying to mess
up my car hold on this thing. Indeed, I'm sorry.
It's just a lot anyway, I start buckling up, that's
a note of bad. Buckle up before I get on
their or do you think about that? Which one is
more important?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
See? What's more your mule up for safety?
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Think before you speak, or you'll probably get jass kicks sometimes.
So each twenty things.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, well you've never really thought before you weak, so
I don't know why you would.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
I'm gonna fall in any regards, dude, yeah, I'm all
about thinking and I lay on the count.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Usually when do you lay on the coutch You're always
wandering around, you're never home.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Yeah, I was just thinking. I can't think the last
time I laid down, Like I got to sleep all
the time, think out of my mind. But I'm synthetic.
Now I blame you to just the drug.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I'm the You're blaming me. Is my fault? Oh that's
a I'm a drug. Yes, I'm addictive.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Yes. Instead of spinning out, dude, I'm benning out. I'm
being out and glenning out. And if y'all weren't on
in the early morning and then record one.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
So how long?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Well, how long is it? Yes, sue me?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, yeah, get get take a number, take a number
from the Delhi count, assume me.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
But what is uh?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
How long is Glenn on? Is he the three hours?
All right? So I'm on I'm on four, he's on three.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
So that means, if my malor math is correct, you've
got seventeen other hours to play with during the day,
seventeen hours a day that we're.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Not on the air.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Here's my other resolations. I used to flip phone for signal,
but What that does is it puts to the microphone
directly in front of your mouth and might go back
and listening to my cars it's off, sound like I'm
outside some girls window to market hoody, because yes.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
You sound like that.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Just now you sound like you have swallowed the phone.
You have literally your the phone is coming from your belly.
It sounds like right now, it's in the middle of
your stomach.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I'm on me for some reason.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Like the thunder.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Oh my god, did the womans gotta touch?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Come on, Ben, you next? You take the next verse.
I'm good, I'm good, all right? Are you done?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I thank you? That's there is Jed who song We'll
come back with that? Is it true?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
An NFL head coach wanting the can noodle can noodle
with a reporter. That would be Sean Payton, the head
coach of the Broncos, who got into it with a
columnist in Colorado who has been taking those shots at
the Bronco in the news coms. That wasn't the audio
is not great. I was gonna play the audio, but
that's not that great. So something called the Denver Gazette.
(34:08):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I have no idea. Sounds like a newspaper, but it
sounds like yeah. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
So this longtime columnist was there at the news conference
the Broncos coach had and there was asked, well, the
columnist didn't ask any questions, but the one of the
writers asked about the Broncos being a miserable red zone
team and whether Sean Payton was concerned about and Peyton
said absolutely. He says, look, am I ever happy? No,
(34:36):
but we shouldn't be as coaches. And then someone said
some one one of the people in the media room said,
truer words have never been spoken, and he kind of
mumbled it, and then Peyton heard it and then asked
him to say it or something like that, and then
he repeated it. The columnists, who he said, has been
at the news conferences a lot, he said, speak up,
(34:58):
miss is Sean Payton says, speak up you always You're
always here, Peyton said of the columnist, And we won't
say his name because no one's ever heard of this guy.
But you never make eye contact. The Broncos coach said,
never asked many questions, but you have a lot to write, said,
Sean Payton. Sounds like Peyton wants a canoodle with that writer.
(35:19):
Sounds to me that he would like to have some
nice eye eye contact and maybe some footsie.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
It could be some footsie there too, could be.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, very reminiscent of the Lions coach the Rocket Scientist,
who was upset at one of the reporters for the
Lions not having good posture when Matt Patricia went on
a rant about the posture.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Of the only the writers there. So, uh, there you go.
I've never I've never had some say I need more
eye contact. If you are going to ask me questions,
you better stand up street and look me dead in
the eye. Do you need eye contact? I need you
need eye contact. I need contact deepen the pupils. I
(36:00):
don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
You know, it's a little lowkward the eye contact things
a little weird now, Yeah, it was a little locked there.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, I don't know if I need that time out
for the who am I? Game? Here we go? Who
am I?
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Game?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
This is where I pretend to be somebody else? What
we call it? The who am I? Game?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So I missed the most games by any player to
lead his team in receiving yards since at least nineteen
thirty two, again the who am I?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Game?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I missed the most games by any player to lead
his team in receiving yards since at least nineteen thirty two.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
That's almost one hundred years of football.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Who am I?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
The answer? We'll get to that. We'll do it next.
