Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one, our one.
A Monday night football doubleheader will start with the late game.
We were up all night on the Ben mother Show
to provide witty sports takes from the two Monday night games. Now,
the late game was in Colorado. Well, you wouldn't know.
That wasn't much of a game, no show for the
Cincinnati football team. So question, did the Bengals quit on
(00:25):
coach Zach Taylor? We'll talk about that. What did you
make of Jamar Chase getting into a shouting match with
the Bengals coach on the sidelines and our Sean Payton's
Broncos back after pollaxing the Bengals in that Monday night
football game. We'll talk about all of that and more
right now here. It is our number one. We'll call
(00:56):
him the toothless Bengals. Wow, was prime time NFL football
at its finest? Unlessless, it wasn't wellcome in the beginning,
Come another night of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere, bellied the belly as we don't sleep, no, no, no,
(01:22):
we wait. I don't know what we're waiting for, but
we just kind of wait all night here coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond. On the vast and breath takingly
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live. Do it. We're
doing live. We're doing it live from the chair. The
Big Chair is one of our old morning guys used
to say back in the day from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios. As approved by Ned from Nebraska
(01:48):
and Big Gregor from Nebraska. They approve that message. This
portion of the Ben Malor showing Fox made possible in
part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com. The way tire
(02:12):
mind should be. And we are back at it again
here to begin the new night of programming on Fox
Sports Radio. Under the cover of darkness, we are starting
up the engine on the Red Eye flight and our lead.
We had two Monday night football games. We'll start with
the late Monday night game which ended not all that
long ago before we cracked open the powerful microphones here
(02:37):
on Fox Sports Radio. So the lead from the mile
High City from Denver. That is where the Broncos reeling
after losing to the Colts and the Rams and now
taking on Cincinnati in an island game, the island life.
Not a lot of islands in Denver, but they had
an island game. You had Joe Back and Troy Aikman
(02:59):
call this game. And the reason they were calling this
game because it was the lesser of two evils. The
other game was the winless Dolphins and the winless Jets,
so instead they put the Broncos and the Bengals in
the late TV windows. So I don't know if you
saw this game or not, it wasn't It wasn't much
of a game. I'd be honest. What you're doing here?
(03:19):
Uh gotta sit here in polish turds. So bow Knicks
if you didn't see it, bow Knicks looking like he
was back at Oregon, playing some lightweight as the Denver offense,
matriculating the ball up and down the field. After somewhat
sluggish beginning, which lasted about I don't know half the
(03:40):
first quarter, but anyway, bow Knicks not one but two touchdowns.
He also ran for another to a tone for his sin,
where he threw a end zone interception. That is a
no no, You're not allowed to throw an interception in
the end zone. So the Broncos snapped the two game
el skiddoo and they beat the Bengals. Didn't just beat them,
(04:03):
they sent them back to Siberia with a twenty eight
to three loss. That is back to back belly to
belly blowout losses for the team from Cincinnati. Somewhere Cardiac
Stanley is not very happy right now at his hometown Bengals.
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
So it's always fun to talk about the Bengals because
(04:24):
they're losers. So it's fun to talk about the Bengals here.
So the question, based on my viewing of this game,
the thing that I noticed, having watched sports my entire life,
and certainly as a long suffering gas bag for many
many years now, I noticed something about Cincinnati here, and
(04:46):
I want to pose the question as we discuss did
the Cincinnati Bengals players quit on Coode Zach Taylor. Let
us discuss the question as we said, did the Bengal
players quit on Zach Taylor? So I've got chronic New
York Times and Pfizer, and we will combine all of
(05:09):
these things together and we are going to make some
delicious Mediterranean chicken is what we're going to make. And
cider rise somewhat healthy. I'm told that's somewhat healthy. Probably
not that healthy, but what the hell? All right? So
a to answer the question, did the Cincinnati Bengals quit
on coach Zach Taylor? That is a rhetorical question. I
(05:29):
am nodding my head. Yes, you can't see unless you're
watching the YouTube feed, which is on YouTube dot com
slash at Benmather Show. You can actually watch these monologues. Unbelievable.
There's all these cameras. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
seven cameras in here for a radio show. Seven cameras
for a radio anyway. All right, So the Bengals flat
(05:51):
out quit on Zach Taylor, no if sands or butts
about it. And every man, woman and child that watched
that game that has any ledge, even the rudimentary knowledge
of how sports work, would agree with that take. That's
not an outrageous take. They quit on their coach.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They did.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They played like they had a chronic case of I
don't give an f I'm not allowed to say what
that F stands for. I think you can imagine what
it stands for. This was not just a bad game.
This was now back to back belly to belly coach
killing performances by the Cincinnati football team. Now it's embarrassing
(06:35):
to lose. The Carson Wentz and the Viking get blown
out in that game, and then Minnesota the following week.
They go across the Atlantic Ocean and they lose to
a mediocre Pittsburgh team. So they say, okay. Normally the
rule is everyone's gonna have a stinker, right, every team's
gonna have a bad game. You can't stack them. You
(06:55):
can't stack them like hotcakes. Cannot do it. Cannot do it.
And so you can stick it up. But you can't
do a back to back games there. And that's two Sundays, well,
Sunday and a Monday now in a row. You do that,
you're trying to send a message. And what is the message?
The message is we are dune Skis with this guy.
(07:16):
He h't my coach. The guy's a bad coach all right. Now,
if you watch the game, this is such a mismatch.
It's like those early season college football games where their
money games, and you cut a giant check to the
other team that come be fodder so you can beat
them up. The ben Gals had nine first downs. An
(07:38):
NFL team that plausibly practiced all week, that is paid
a lot of money, it's their job, had nine first downs.
They had eight punts, they almost had one for one
punt to first down one hundred and fifty nine yards.
Denver put up twenty nine first downs and five hundred
(07:59):
and twelve yards of offense. Now that is not football, Okay,
that is not football. That is varsity scrimmaging against not
even the JV that's like varsity versus freshmen, is what
that was. And the Cincinnati players were lollygagging. La la
la la la la la. That's what it sounds like
when you lagag la la la la la la la.
(08:20):
You're lollygagging. You're lollygagging around like it was some kind
of seven on seven walkthrough and OTAs or something like that.
And I see this. I have seen this a lot
in basketball. It's more of a basketball thing than a
football thing. It's the I guess the NBA affication of
the NFL. What I saw here. You see this kind
(08:42):
of thing in basketball. I used to when I got
into radio. One of my early jobs, I covered the
professional basketball and I was around some really bad teams
and some teams that did quit on their coach, that
wanted to get the coach fired. So I know back
then what it was like, and it's obviously the same thing.
It's just with social media now and you look at it,
(09:03):
it's again something that's usually reserved for basketball, not something
you see in football that much, where guys on purpose
try to get the coach canned. And because of the
physicality in football, it's not as common a situation. But
when it happens, it's unmistakable. It's absolutely unmistakable. Strike three strikes.
(09:26):
You got Strike one, you're lazy, Strike two your lack
of passion, and strike three your lack character. And that's
good afternoon, good evening, and good night. And that appears
to be the Cincinnati Bengals. Watch what happens next. I
don't know what the next move is. It's not about
the scheme, it's not about that. In the I guess
(09:47):
that the move would be. And we'll see. With some
of the quotes coming out of the Bengals, locker room
following the Monday night game. But the generally the move
is publicly you say one thing, privately you say something else. Publicly,
you'll say it's on us, it's not the coach's fault.
You'll give that speech. You'll have a team meeting, as
I'm gonna have a team meeting, players only meeting, and
(10:09):
publicly you'll defend Zach Taylor. That's the move. You publicly
defend Zach Taylor in front of the cameras and the microphones,
and then privately you stick a butcher knife right in
his back, right there, big bloody butcher knife right in
the back. There you go. How's that going? But it's
the NFL player's guide to getting a coach fired. I
(10:33):
think that's on page twelve. And if the Bengals had
real ownership that really cared about winning, which they don't,
it's good money. It's a family, good amount of money
you can make. You gets a family business there in Cincinnati,
they had legitimate ownership that was passionate and cared. Zach
Taylor would be left at the airport in Denver. He
(10:53):
would have to take a Greyhound bus back to Cincinnati.
That's not gonna happen because they don't really care that much.
They're more obsessed with pinching pennies than they are winning
football games and all that stuff. It's a mom and
pop shop. That's how they operate. There's something unique and
cute about that that there's a few family ownership groups
(11:14):
left in the industrial complex of American sport and they're
one of them. And the family who currently runs the team,
Paul Brown's the owner, but he's not doing everything day
to day. They just happen to get the right DNA
and the right line and or they married well and
they're running the franchise and all that stuff. But they've
(11:34):
been running this franchise the same way since the Reagan administration.
It's been a minute. And there you go, so always
out there counting their dollars and cents and whatnot, and
good luck. So Mike Brown can count more Nichols and
that'll go well for him and the team. The locker
(11:56):
room waving the white flag here for sure. And so
the Bengels did not just lose to Denver. There's no
shaman losing. And every weekend half the teams lose in
the NFL. You quit, that's the thing. They quit. They quit.
The Denver Broncos are quitters on that night, on Monday night,
(12:19):
they quit. That's the story. That's your story. And that
is a coach killing performance. That is a no show.
And effort is the one thing. You're not to be talented.
You're goin'ta be the most talented, etcetera, etcetera, et cetera.
If you put the work in, that's just the that's
the baseline. That's the baseline all right now. Page two.
(12:41):
So more on this zombie Island game for the Cincinnati Bengals.
I'm fascinated by it. Now. This was a scene right
out of our friend Hayes in Minnesota. It was like
a Morgue scene there watching these Cincinnati Bengals more than
a football game. I bring this up. The whole league
is watching with these Island games. Everyone's tuned in in
theory anyway. Some of these guys who play football, she
(13:03):
hate football, so they're not watching. But those that actually
care about football, that are playing and coaching, they're watching. Yep,
probably at Applebee's somewhere watching eating some appetizers and watching
the game. So I bring this up because everyone's watching,
and the Bengals are going through the motions like the
kids in the back of gym class. I don't want
to be there, you know, and we all know. And
(13:25):
so the epitome of this was Jamar Chase, the one
hundred and sixty one million dollar pass catcher for the Bengals,
and he lost his mind. This video went viral, a
clip of him getting into it with Zach Taylor, which
is actually a good thing because it shows he's passionate.
He knew the camera was on. He did it for
(13:45):
the camera. I'm convinced of that. Everyone knows, Hey, if
your star receiver is going to confront the coach, there's
gonna be seven different camera angles on it. So he
knew exactly what he was doing. Jamar Chase, he knew
that would be talked about. Things were not going well
for the Bengals, and he confronted Zach Taylor on camera,
yelling at him. So what did you make the question,
what did you make of Jamar Chase getting into a
(14:07):
screaming match, a shouting match with the Bengals coach as
the Cincinnati football team got into the fetal position and
started sucking their thumb. So on this one, it's actually
bad Bunny's cousin, which is bad body language. That's a
second cousin of bad Bunny. Bad body language is what
(14:28):
this is. And it paid a visit, which is always
part of the crumbling of the walls of teams that
suck Jamar Chase and t Higgins. There was also a
clip that a couple of you idiots sent me of
them sitting on the bench during the game, sitting there
like they were waiting for Femi to deliver a bag
of uber eats, some onion rings, possibly some fries, but
(14:51):
maybe just onion rings and some mazzarella sticks. And they
were just waiting on that and they had the slump
shoulders and then we all know the bad body line
language there and there is kind of a man they
were doing Matador blocks. Hooray yo layolay. They were doing that.
They had the kind of like a half speed jog
kind of routine going on there, and it's the classic
(15:14):
gay we're out on this coach. We do not like
the coach. We do not want to be here. I
don't like this altitude, I don't like the whole thing.
I'm not happy. And again that's out of the New
York Times bestseller which is The Idiot's Guide to Losing.
That is on page thirty three if you check your notes,
page thirty three of The Idiot's Guide to Losing. As
(15:37):
we discuss here on Fox Sports Radio, star players moping
on the sidelines, coach staring into space, wondering why he
chose this profession. You've got that, check that box. You
get the backup quarterback who's out there futzing around looking
like he won a contest at a Kroger, a national contest,
(15:58):
not just a local contest in Cincinnati. He won a
national contest, and he was given the helmet. We're talking
about Jake Browning here, who actually looked somewhat decently the
last time he got some extended playing time when Joe
Burrow got hurt a couple years back, and now looks
like he doesn't know whether a football is puffed or
stuffed when he's out there. And again it looks like
(16:20):
he won a raffle at Paul Brown Stadium or whatever
corporate name it has now. And hey, how would you
like to play quarterback for the Bengals? All right, I'll
play quarterback for the Bengals. Why not? What the heck?
All right now, don't sell me on losing builds character.
I don't want to hear about losing builds character. But
my belief on losing has been pretty consistent over the years.
(16:41):
Losing does not build character. It exposes character. And without
Joe Burrow, what are we seeing from the Bengals here?
What are we seeing? Are we seeing a team that's
going next man up? We got to unite together, we
got a lock in here, we got a lock in
and go on the warpath or or are we seeing
a team that is filled with a bunch of show ponies.
(17:02):
They're not the Bengals of the show ponies and front runners,
because that's what it looks like to me, that's what
it's not. Hey, whoever's there, we're gonna win I with
Burrows here or not. It's like no, no. The minute
Joe Burrow went snap, crackle, pop and his toe exploded,
the whole season went right into the shredder, right into
the shredder, and they know they're cooked. They've got no fight,
(17:26):
They're gutless, they're toothless. That's the Bangles, that's what they
look like right now. I'm just merely reacting to what
I'm watching and if they're embarrassed by that, and they're
offended by that, how about you do better, play better,
don't play like that, don't play gutless football. All right? Now,
last word to the Denver side the winning locker room.
So I had a chance to see the Broncos in person.
(17:46):
In the previous game. They played the Chargers a game
they had in the bag, and then they cut a
hole in the bag and the Chargers came back in
the final part of the fourth quarter and won a
game that the Broncos seemingly we're going to win. Just
by executing down the stretch. They would have won that game,
just like the Cincinnati or the Indianapolis game the week
prior where they screwed up with special teams and they
(18:07):
could have should have won that game. So the question
is rather simple. Here are Sean Payton's Broncos now back
after they pull axed the Bengals on Monday night? Forel
are they back? Are they back? They don't? All right,
here's the deal. I'm sorry, but I realized my producers
like he's working for the Bronco pep squad over there.
(18:29):
But here's the deal. Pump the brakes on that you
cannot get too worked up by the Broncos and their
domination situation. That's not the story. You beat up a lightweight,
you beat up a team that didn't want to be there.
That is it. This was not some grand decree. This
was not an announcement by the Broncos. We're back, baby,
We're back. This was not it. It's like sparring with
(18:53):
someone who does not have their their gloves, you know,
it's like, okay, you're spartagas somebody that didn't bring their gloves. Congratulations.
This was a Pfizer booster shot, is what it was
for the Broncos. That's all it was. Congratulations. He didn't
really cure anything. It gives you the illusion that you're
in better shape and all that. But bo Nicks threw
for three hundred plus YARDSS is great, a couple of touchdowns,
(19:15):
he ran for a touchdown. He made up for the
interception in the end zone. So it's got a little
more pep in his step, which is nice and all
that stuff, and you need a confidence booster every now
and again. But yeah, you feel good, congratulations on that,
but it doesn't really count for the big picture down
(19:36):
the line. When you play better teams. Oh, they beat
up the They beat up the Bengals who didn't want
to beat there. Oh man, that's impressive. Bess I did
the mak because they had this opening drive. They came
out and they scored early on. They kicked a field goal.
The Bengals had seventy one yards of offense in the
first quarter. The final three quarters of the game, they
had eighty eight yards over the that eighty eight yards
(20:02):
the final three quarters of the game, which is seemingly
hard to do, but they managed to have less than
thirty yards on average the final three quarters of the game.
They basically tapped out. As we've said, they tapped out
there and the Broncos defense, listen, God, they locked the
doors all assed up. But it was more about what
the Bengals didn't do. Didn't play with fight, didn't play
(20:24):
just lazy, just floating on the lazy river there. And so,
as the great comedian Chris Rock taught me years ago,
you do not get extra credit for doing what you're
supposed to do. That was a game the Broncos were
favored by over a touchdown. They were supposed to win.
They did. So let's not pretend like Sean Payton's now
figured out time travel or something like that. That's not
(20:46):
it at all. So it's not the resurrection of the
Denver Broncos. Now they have a chance. They played Philadelphia
next week, and so I'm assuming Philadelphia is not going
to quit in that game like the Bengals. They're actually
going to be competitive, be professional, and not be gutless
like the Cincinnati Bengals. And so the other thing is
(21:07):
there's no such thing as momentum. So it's not like, oh,
the Broncos have all the momentum doesn't exist, all right,
It's just some crap dumb people buy into in sports,
and some sports writer named Grantlin Rice or whatever cooked
it up years ago and it just gets repeated and
idiots buy into it. Here. So we'll see what happens
next week when they play the Eagles, who have been
(21:31):
a beatable team. Like every game the Eagles have been
on the doorstep of despair and then find a way
to pull it out. It is the Ben Malor Show,
if you'd like to be part eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, and we'll also talk later on well,
but full monologue on the Miami Dolphins getting a win
(21:52):
and losing. At the same time it lose Tyreek Hill
for the season and likely playing his last game as
a Miami Dolphin as his knee completely discombobulated. Just he's
in the hospital right now, so Tyreek oo, it seems
to be in pretty good spirits eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six

Late Night Drug Tester wrights In from Partsonni says not
surprised the Bengals just quit tonight, but they were just
following the lead of the defending division champion Ravens at
least Lamar Jackson. That is calling out Lamar Jackson as
(25:31):
a quitter. Tom from Fullerton writes and in solcases, imagine getting
paid eighty six million guaranteed and not having to have
Tua as your quarterback anymore. No wonder Tyreek was happy
on the cart. Yes, several people pointing out Tyreek did
not look too upset that he had suffered a career
threatening injury, did not appear too damaged by that, seemed
(25:54):
to be in good spirits. There, let's see here, super
Marcus Steve says, it's been a while since I heard
that Chris Rock bit. He says, and always trying to
get credit for stuff they're supposed to do, like taking
credit of the kids and paying their taxes. Yes, that
(26:15):
was part of the routine. Supermarcuts Steve there, but I'm
sure it's on YouTube. Can go back and check it
out if you're into it. But it's a good line.
There's other people that have said it. I just give
Chris Rock credit because he's a funny person and I
remember him doing shtick, and there's other people I could
quote that have said similar things over the years. I
just choose to give the credit to Chris Rock. Just
(26:39):
Josh in Cincinnati writes and says, thank god you watch
this Monday night suckfest. So the rest of us didn't
have to Just Josh has because when players don't give
an F, I don't give an F. Zach Taylor is
and he's quoting here. Cam Ward is ass, the offensive
line is ass, and the ownership is According to just Josh,
(27:01):
thirty plus years of building that losing character, blow it up,
blow it up, blow it up, blow it up, blow
it up. You really are a man of the people.
The work that you do, yes, clearly. Now when the
game is that bad, yes, what do you resort to?
Do You start twiddling your thumbs? Do you have a
crossword puzzle?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Do you like lay upside down?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Start doing yoga? Yeah? Well it's really and I know
in the military they have a purple heart. What do
we have in sports media when you have to watch
a terrible game? Every bad game? Yeah, like all the
bad games, like it's just one bed. Oh my gosh,
it's so bad. Now I did get a little I
got a little twinge. I got excited because the Bengals
were falling apart, Lorena, and that makes for good talk
(27:40):
radio because I do get I'm not gonna lie here.
I get a little excited when a team's losing, and
then it's when they're losing and they're just bad that sucks.
But when they quit on the coach, I kind of
like it. I think that's cool. And then when you
have the star receiver screaming at the coach on the sidelines,
Oh that's good. That is good, right, Jesus that solid.
I like that. Just in time, Davis writes and says, Hey, Mallard,
(28:03):
are the Ben goals related to the Dolphins? When their
quarterback goes down, the whole ship goes too. Does that
mean both coaches suck? Sure? Yeah, Fat Daddy writes in
a long suffering fan of the Angels in baseball, says,
Big Ben the monologue was on fire, a lot of passion.
(28:26):
Let's just hope that the Ben goals don't play in
prime time anymore. What a freaking joke. He's the daddy.
It's not good, not a not a real great situation
there at at all. All right, let's go to the
phones and eeny meenie miney mo let's say hello to
(28:47):
MGM John A blast from the past in Vegas. I
did not see MGM John at the Big Mallard meet
and greet we had there a few months back. Hello,
MGM John, welcome.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Mister Ben Maler, j E ts just and the season
it's over. The Jets will miss the playoffs for the
fifteenth year in a row after starting a disasters er
and four starts. We have seen it live on primetime television.
It is a disaster in the making.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, No, you got the new hotshot coach there, Aaron Glenn,
and the media likes Aaron Glenn. He's a passionate guy
and everything will be fine there. Everything's going to be fine,
although I did like he was screaming at his players
after the game. The good news is you can already
start preparing as a Jets fan, MGM John. You can
start preparing for the twenty twenty six NFL Draft, So
(29:41):
start getting your draft stuff ready. You can wait for
the combines and when really you need to just watch
college football on Saturdays because that's where that's where it's at.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
And I can tell you if this is gonna be
the most New York Jets take will be We will
get the number one overall pick, and our number one
overall pick will be Arch Manning quarterback.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
He's not gonna be the number one pick. Have you
watched him play at Texas. He's not that good. Yeah,
I know. And by the way, most of the Manning suck.
They do, right if you rent to talk about this,
I mean they think they're funny and all that. But
Eli Manning was a mediocre NFL quarterback. Cooper Manning never
made it, and Peyton Manning used performance and dancing drugs.
(30:28):
That's the Manning family. Yeah, okay, and he was a
five hundred quarterback. Okay, he's a couple of fluke runs.
That's not that good. I'm not that impressed.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
All I think is one super Bowl and the.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, Joe Flacco, MGM John one
of the all time great quarterbacks. Why are the Browns
fans try to bench him? He's a super Bowl sha
Nick Foles? Right, Nick Fole. You wouldn't have Nick Foles
wipe your ass. But he won a super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Okay, come on, it's gonna be a long seat for
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's not gonna be It's not gonna be any different
than any other season. And we've got right now. We
have a three way tie, well not a three way
tie because it's based on winning percentage, but strength of schedule.
The Saints, Jets and Titans all on and four, neck
and neck for the top pick. Get your mock draft
ready for twenty twenty six. The Saints are on the clock,
(31:22):
living up to expectations. There the New Orleans Saints at
oh and four, and you need to study now, MGM John,
Someone named Leonora Sellars. I'm not sure who that is?
What what what what?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
What?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
What? What?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
What Sellers?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
He's a proud id rather get there, no timer than
Lonor Sellars out of South Carolina? Do we not, Saron,
that's happening in New Orleans WITHFT.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I gotta go. I'm glad you're back. Is this we're
talking in like six months? MGM John?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Yes, eleg But one more thing. The AH shows are
not in the playoffs thanks to my ring.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Now, you didn't say that the proper way. You gotta
say nda da da da da da. Hey, good bye,
see you later. A holes, You're not in the playoffs,
you losers. Hey, one of those dope be hacked daytime
talk show host in Houston gonna do? What are they
gonna do? They?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
My god, all those blowhards who suck ITT radio? My god, Anyway,
I think away. Cameron is in Indiana. Hello Cameron, he's
a day late and a dollar short. Hello Cameron. Welcome.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
So I was gonna talk about Colin Cowherd, but I
will just.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Say, well, why would you know? Why would you talk
about Cowherd is on? He's an overnight show for me.
I sleep while he's on. I don't know Cowherd show.
I know he gets paid a lot more money than
I get paid, but I'm sleeping when he's on the air.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
So I cannot talk about Cowherd now since you've just
been insult with my quarterback. So I'm getting there. A
Brady fan Who's the biggest cheat of all time?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Who? Who's your court? Peyton Manny's your quarterback? Is that?
Is that your your guy?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:07):
So it's that guy all right? But anyway, it's not
I can predict the future. And let me just tell
you A J. Brown is going to be crying on
the Dolphins sideline now with Tyreeks injury, let's tell you
that much.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Really, how is a J. Brown gonna be crying on
the Dolphins sideline? How's that going to work? Does he
is going to like leave the Eagles and just walk
over to Miami. Is that what's going to happen?
Speaker 5 (33:32):
How could happen? But now I'm just bus miss Josh.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, well that's an amazing take. I gotta tell you,
that's an original take. That's your own take, right, Yes.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
All right, it's not any worse than Colin Coward's sake.
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I don't. I don't know what he's he's got going
on over there. You can. You could call and complain
to him, but I don't think he takes calls. So
I think you could call him up. I don't does
he take calls? I don't know he is not. Yeah, well,
most of the you know, the big time talent gets
spent a lot of money. They hide from the people
that listen, which I don't blame them. If I made
a lot of money, i'd hide from you too. I
wouldn't want to talk to you. I made real money.
(34:09):
Come on, please, you think I'd want to talk to
the unwashed? God know, I'd live in my mansion in Chicago,
I Coward. I wouldn't be out and about with you losers.
My god, no way. I thank you, Kim amazing contribution
to the show. So the reporting on Micah Parsons. I
love this, So you think it's over now? The Packers
(34:32):
and Cowboys played to a tie. They played to a tie,
Well not so much. Apparently Micah Parsons is bitter and broken.
The tabloids reporting that Parsons not real happy, bitter and
broken with Jerry Jones and the Cowboys ownership, and that
(34:55):
was only reinforced. His resentment towards Jerry Jones intensified after
playing in Dallas on Sunday, and much of his angs
directed towards the billionaire Jimmy Jones. Good old was he
eighty two? His face is about thirty five or something
like that. But yeah, so they're supposedly some bad blood,
(35:19):
some stuff happened prior to the game, and not not happy,
not happy Mike Caparison, but very vague. The report is
very vague. What possibly happened? I don't know. I need
more details to have an opinion. No, no, good talk
shows does not need a lot of details to have
an opinion. Just go with the opinion, just feel the opinion.
And you've just got to soak in the opinion and
(35:41):
just go with the opinion. Anyway, time now for the
who am I game? This is where I pretend to
be somebody else. You can answer this on X at
Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor if you'd like to
be part of the program. And here we go. The
twenty twenty five Jake brown and Joe Burrow Benals are
(36:02):
the first team since A Blank was the quarterback of
a different NFL team to lead a team to fewer
than two hundred yards of offense in three of their
first four games in a season. Happened very often, so
Jake Browning and Joe Burrow combined. Burrow hurt his toe
(36:23):
before that he wasn't playing very well. So Jake Browning
and Joe Burrow the Bengals quarterbacks. They are the first
team since Blank was the quarterback to lead a different
team with fewer than two hundred yards of offense in
three of their first four games in a season. Who
am I? That is the question. The answer will get
to it, and we will also have the very riveting
(36:44):
and very exciting play the day we'll get to all that.
We will do it next.

(38:00):
we go. Time now for the who actually just get
to the player of the y. Let's go to the
play of the day here and we'll go to that
late game on Monday night the Broncos and the Bengals
and bo Knicks who had been struggling had been struggling,
but he made up for some mistakes in the past
with the tire Iraq Player of the night Atkins outside
in trips, left knicks from the shotgun, takes a snap,
(38:22):
can run if you wants too, next to the five,
next to the goal line, touchdown Denver. There you go,
and the Broncos would go on for an easy win
over the Bengals. Tyrack Player to day. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers by the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like multile tire installation ti raq dot com the way
(38:44):
tire buying should be. And here is the who am
I game? Jake Browning of the Bengals the Cincinnati first
team since me was I was the quarterback to lead
a team to fewer than two hundred yards of offense
in three of their first four games. Who am I?
That's who question, what's the answer of refrigerator Perry from Steve?
Who else? Zach Wilson from Supermarket Steve, Steve Atwater from
(39:06):
Big Lou He's on number two. Gooney's Mama from Gill
in San Diego. What's that you, Lorena polyd I know
even better than that. JaMarcus Russell back in nine an
NFL legend. JaMarcus Russell with the Raiders,
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one, our one.
A Monday night football doubleheader will start with the late game.
We were up all night on the Ben mother Show
to provide witty sports takes from the two Monday night games. Now,
the late game was in Colorado. Well, you wouldn't know.
That wasn't much of a game, no show for the
Cincinnati football team. So question, did the Bengals quit on
(00:25):
coach Zach Taylor? We'll talk about that. What did you
make of Jamar Chase getting into a shouting match with
the Bengals coach on the sidelines and our Sean Payton's
Broncos back after pollaxing the Bengals in that Monday night
football game. We'll talk about all of that and more
right now here. It is our number one. We'll call
(00:56):
him the toothless Bengals. Wow, was prime time NFL football
at its finest? Unlessless, it wasn't wellcome in the beginning,
Come another night of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere, bellied the belly as we don't sleep, no, no, no,
(01:22):
we wait. I don't know what we're waiting for, but
we just kind of wait all night here coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond. On the vast and breath takingly
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live. Do it. We're
doing live. We're doing it live from the chair. The
Big Chair is one of our old morning guys used
to say back in the day from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios. As approved by Ned from Nebraska
(01:48):
and Big Gregor from Nebraska. They approve that message. This
portion of the Ben Malor showing Fox made possible in
part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com. The way tire
(02:12):
mind should be. And we are back at it again
here to begin the new night of programming on Fox
Sports Radio. Under the cover of darkness, we are starting
up the engine on the Red Eye flight and our lead.
We had two Monday night football games. We'll start with
the late Monday night game which ended not all that
long ago before we cracked open the powerful microphones here
(02:37):
on Fox Sports Radio. So the lead from the mile
High City from Denver. That is where the Broncos reeling
after losing to the Colts and the Rams and now
taking on Cincinnati in an island game, the island life.
Not a lot of islands in Denver, but they had
an island game. You had Joe Back and Troy Aikman
(02:59):
call this game. And the reason they were calling this
game because it was the lesser of two evils. The
other game was the winless Dolphins and the winless Jets,
so instead they put the Broncos and the Bengals in
the late TV windows. So I don't know if you
saw this game or not, it wasn't It wasn't much
of a game. I'd be honest. What you're doing here?
(03:19):
Uh gotta sit here in polish turds. So bow Knicks
if you didn't see it, bow Knicks looking like he
was back at Oregon, playing some lightweight as the Denver offense,
matriculating the ball up and down the field. After somewhat
sluggish beginning, which lasted about I don't know half the
(03:40):
first quarter, but anyway, bow Knicks not one but two touchdowns.
He also ran for another to a tone for his sin,
where he threw a end zone interception. That is a
no no, You're not allowed to throw an interception in
the end zone. So the Broncos snapped the two game
el skiddoo and they beat the Bengals. Didn't just beat them,
(04:03):
they sent them back to Siberia with a twenty eight
to three loss. That is back to back belly to
belly blowout losses for the team from Cincinnati. Somewhere Cardiac
Stanley is not very happy right now at his hometown Bengals.
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
So it's always fun to talk about the Bengals because
(04:24):
they're losers. So it's fun to talk about the Bengals here.
So the question, based on my viewing of this game,
the thing that I noticed, having watched sports my entire life,
and certainly as a long suffering gas bag for many
many years now, I noticed something about Cincinnati here, and
(04:46):
I want to pose the question as we discuss did
the Cincinnati Bengals players quit on Coode Zach Taylor. Let
us discuss the question as we said, did the Bengal
players quit on Zach Taylor? So I've got chronic New
York Times and Pfizer, and we will combine all of
(05:09):
these things together and we are going to make some
delicious Mediterranean chicken is what we're going to make. And
cider rise somewhat healthy. I'm told that's somewhat healthy. Probably
not that healthy, but what the hell? All right? So
a to answer the question, did the Cincinnati Bengals quit
on coach Zach Taylor? That is a rhetorical question. I
(05:29):
am nodding my head. Yes, you can't see unless you're
watching the YouTube feed, which is on YouTube dot com
slash at Benmather Show. You can actually watch these monologues. Unbelievable.
There's all these cameras. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
seven cameras in here for a radio show. Seven cameras
for a radio anyway. All right, So the Bengals flat
(05:51):
out quit on Zach Taylor, no if sands or butts
about it. And every man, woman and child that watched
that game that has any ledge, even the rudimentary knowledge
of how sports work, would agree with that take. That's
not an outrageous take. They quit on their coach.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They did.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They played like they had a chronic case of I
don't give an f I'm not allowed to say what
that F stands for. I think you can imagine what
it stands for. This was not just a bad game.
This was now back to back belly to belly coach
killing performances by the Cincinnati football team. Now it's embarrassing
(06:35):
to lose. The Carson Wentz and the Viking get blown
out in that game, and then Minnesota the following week.
They go across the Atlantic Ocean and they lose to
a mediocre Pittsburgh team. So they say, okay. Normally the
rule is everyone's gonna have a stinker, right, every team's
gonna have a bad game. You can't stack them. You
(06:55):
can't stack them like hotcakes. Cannot do it. Cannot do it.
And so you can stick it up. But you can't
do a back to back games there. And that's two Sundays, well,
Sunday and a Monday now in a row. You do that,
you're trying to send a message. And what is the message?
The message is we are dune Skis with this guy.
(07:16):
He h't my coach. The guy's a bad coach all right. Now,
if you watch the game, this is such a mismatch.
It's like those early season college football games where their
money games, and you cut a giant check to the
other team that come be fodder so you can beat
them up. The ben Gals had nine first downs. An
(07:38):
NFL team that plausibly practiced all week, that is paid
a lot of money, it's their job, had nine first downs.
They had eight punts, they almost had one for one
punt to first down one hundred and fifty nine yards.
Denver put up twenty nine first downs and five hundred
(07:59):
and twelve yards of offense. Now that is not football, Okay,
that is not football. That is varsity scrimmaging against not
even the JV that's like varsity versus freshmen, is what
that was. And the Cincinnati players were lollygagging. La la
la la la la la. That's what it sounds like
when you lagag la la la la la la la.
(08:20):
You're lollygagging. You're lollygagging around like it was some kind
of seven on seven walkthrough and OTAs or something like that.
And I see this. I have seen this a lot
in basketball. It's more of a basketball thing than a
football thing. It's the I guess the NBA affication of
the NFL. What I saw here. You see this kind
(08:42):
of thing in basketball. I used to when I got
into radio. One of my early jobs, I covered the
professional basketball and I was around some really bad teams
and some teams that did quit on their coach, that
wanted to get the coach fired. So I know back
then what it was like, and it's obviously the same thing.
It's just with social media now and you look at it,
(09:03):
it's again something that's usually reserved for basketball, not something
you see in football that much, where guys on purpose
try to get the coach canned. And because of the
physicality in football, it's not as common a situation. But
when it happens, it's unmistakable. It's absolutely unmistakable. Strike three strikes.
(09:26):
You got Strike one, you're lazy, Strike two your lack
of passion, and strike three your lack character. And that's
good afternoon, good evening, and good night. And that appears
to be the Cincinnati Bengals. Watch what happens next. I
don't know what the next move is. It's not about
the scheme, it's not about that. In the I guess
(09:47):
that the move would be. And we'll see. With some
of the quotes coming out of the Bengals, locker room
following the Monday night game. But the generally the move
is publicly you say one thing, privately you say something else. Publicly,
you'll say it's on us, it's not the coach's fault.
You'll give that speech. You'll have a team meeting, as
I'm gonna have a team meeting, players only meeting, and
(10:09):
publicly you'll defend Zach Taylor. That's the move. You publicly
defend Zach Taylor in front of the cameras and the microphones,
and then privately you stick a butcher knife right in
his back, right there, big bloody butcher knife right in
the back. There you go. How's that going? But it's
the NFL player's guide to getting a coach fired. I
(10:33):
think that's on page twelve. And if the Bengals had
real ownership that really cared about winning, which they don't,
it's good money. It's a family, good amount of money
you can make. You gets a family business there in Cincinnati,
they had legitimate ownership that was passionate and cared. Zach
Taylor would be left at the airport in Denver. He
(10:53):
would have to take a Greyhound bus back to Cincinnati.
That's not gonna happen because they don't really care that much.
They're more obsessed with pinching pennies than they are winning
football games and all that stuff. It's a mom and
pop shop. That's how they operate. There's something unique and
cute about that that there's a few family ownership groups
(11:14):
left in the industrial complex of American sport and they're
one of them. And the family who currently runs the team,
Paul Brown's the owner, but he's not doing everything day
to day. They just happen to get the right DNA
and the right line and or they married well and
they're running the franchise and all that stuff. But they've
(11:34):
been running this franchise the same way since the Reagan administration.
It's been a minute. And there you go, so always
out there counting their dollars and cents and whatnot, and
good luck. So Mike Brown can count more Nichols and
that'll go well for him and the team. The locker
(11:56):
room waving the white flag here for sure. And so
the Bengels did not just lose to Denver. There's no
shaman losing. And every weekend half the teams lose in
the NFL. You quit, that's the thing. They quit. They quit.
The Denver Broncos are quitters on that night, on Monday night,
(12:19):
they quit. That's the story. That's your story. And that
is a coach killing performance. That is a no show.
And effort is the one thing. You're not to be talented.
You're goin'ta be the most talented, etcetera, etcetera, et cetera.
If you put the work in, that's just the that's
the baseline. That's the baseline all right now. Page two.
(12:41):
So more on this zombie Island game for the Cincinnati Bengals.
I'm fascinated by it. Now. This was a scene right
out of our friend Hayes in Minnesota. It was like
a Morgue scene there watching these Cincinnati Bengals more than
a football game. I bring this up. The whole league
is watching with these Island games. Everyone's tuned in in
theory anyway. Some of these guys who play football, she
(13:03):
hate football, so they're not watching. But those that actually
care about football, that are playing and coaching, they're watching. Yep,
probably at Applebee's somewhere watching eating some appetizers and watching
the game. So I bring this up because everyone's watching,
and the Bengals are going through the motions like the
kids in the back of gym class. I don't want
to be there, you know, and we all know. And
(13:25):
so the epitome of this was Jamar Chase, the one
hundred and sixty one million dollar pass catcher for the Bengals,
and he lost his mind. This video went viral, a
clip of him getting into it with Zach Taylor, which
is actually a good thing because it shows he's passionate.
He knew the camera was on. He did it for
(13:45):
the camera. I'm convinced of that. Everyone knows, Hey, if
your star receiver is going to confront the coach, there's
gonna be seven different camera angles on it. So he
knew exactly what he was doing. Jamar Chase, he knew
that would be talked about. Things were not going well
for the Bengals, and he confronted Zach Taylor on camera,
yelling at him. So what did you make the question,
what did you make of Jamar Chase getting into a
(14:07):
screaming match, a shouting match with the Bengals coach as
the Cincinnati football team got into the fetal position and
started sucking their thumb. So on this one, it's actually
bad Bunny's cousin, which is bad body language. That's a
second cousin of bad Bunny. Bad body language is what
(14:28):
this is. And it paid a visit, which is always
part of the crumbling of the walls of teams that
suck Jamar Chase and t Higgins. There was also a
clip that a couple of you idiots sent me of
them sitting on the bench during the game, sitting there
like they were waiting for Femi to deliver a bag
of uber eats, some onion rings, possibly some fries, but
(14:51):
maybe just onion rings and some mazzarella sticks. And they
were just waiting on that and they had the slump
shoulders and then we all know the bad body line
language there and there is kind of a man they
were doing Matador blocks. Hooray yo layolay. They were doing that.
They had the kind of like a half speed jog
kind of routine going on there, and it's the classic
(15:14):
gay we're out on this coach. We do not like
the coach. We do not want to be here. I
don't like this altitude, I don't like the whole thing.
I'm not happy. And again that's out of the New
York Times bestseller which is The Idiot's Guide to Losing.
That is on page thirty three if you check your notes,
page thirty three of The Idiot's Guide to Losing. As
(15:37):
we discuss here on Fox Sports Radio, star players moping
on the sidelines, coach staring into space, wondering why he
chose this profession. You've got that, check that box. You
get the backup quarterback who's out there futzing around looking
like he won a contest at a Kroger, a national contest,
(15:58):
not just a local contest in Cincinnati. He won a
national contest, and he was given the helmet. We're talking
about Jake Browning here, who actually looked somewhat decently the
last time he got some extended playing time when Joe
Burrow got hurt a couple years back, and now looks
like he doesn't know whether a football is puffed or
stuffed when he's out there. And again it looks like
(16:20):
he won a raffle at Paul Brown Stadium or whatever
corporate name it has now. And hey, how would you
like to play quarterback for the Bengals? All right, I'll
play quarterback for the Bengals. Why not? What the heck?
All right now, don't sell me on losing builds character.
I don't want to hear about losing builds character. But
my belief on losing has been pretty consistent over the years.
(16:41):
Losing does not build character. It exposes character. And without
Joe Burrow, what are we seeing from the Bengals here?
What are we seeing? Are we seeing a team that's
going next man up? We got to unite together, we
got a lock in here, we got a lock in
and go on the warpath or or are we seeing
a team that is filled with a bunch of show ponies.
(17:02):
They're not the Bengals of the show ponies and front runners,
because that's what it looks like to me, that's what
it's not. Hey, whoever's there, we're gonna win I with
Burrows here or not. It's like no, no. The minute
Joe Burrow went snap, crackle, pop and his toe exploded,
the whole season went right into the shredder, right into
the shredder, and they know they're cooked. They've got no fight,
(17:26):
They're gutless, they're toothless. That's the Bangles, that's what they
look like right now. I'm just merely reacting to what
I'm watching and if they're embarrassed by that, and they're
offended by that, how about you do better, play better,
don't play like that, don't play gutless football. All right? Now,
last word to the Denver side the winning locker room.
So I had a chance to see the Broncos in person.
(17:46):
In the previous game. They played the Chargers a game
they had in the bag, and then they cut a
hole in the bag and the Chargers came back in
the final part of the fourth quarter and won a
game that the Broncos seemingly we're going to win. Just
by executing down the stretch. They would have won that game,
just like the Cincinnati or the Indianapolis game the week
prior where they screwed up with special teams and they
(18:07):
could have should have won that game. So the question
is rather simple. Here are Sean Payton's Broncos now back
after they pull axed the Bengals on Monday night? Forel
are they back? Are they back? They don't? All right,
here's the deal. I'm sorry, but I realized my producers
like he's working for the Bronco pep squad over there.
(18:29):
But here's the deal. Pump the brakes on that you
cannot get too worked up by the Broncos and their
domination situation. That's not the story. You beat up a lightweight,
you beat up a team that didn't want to be there.
That is it. This was not some grand decree. This
was not an announcement by the Broncos. We're back, baby,
We're back. This was not it. It's like sparring with
(18:53):
someone who does not have their their gloves, you know,
it's like, okay, you're spartagas somebody that didn't bring their gloves. Congratulations.
This was a Pfizer booster shot, is what it was
for the Broncos. That's all it was. Congratulations. He didn't
really cure anything. It gives you the illusion that you're
in better shape and all that. But bo Nicks threw
for three hundred plus YARDSS is great, a couple of touchdowns,
(19:15):
he ran for a touchdown. He made up for the
interception in the end zone. So it's got a little
more pep in his step, which is nice and all
that stuff, and you need a confidence booster every now
and again. But yeah, you feel good, congratulations on that,
but it doesn't really count for the big picture down
(19:36):
the line. When you play better teams. Oh, they beat
up the They beat up the Bengals who didn't want
to beat there. Oh man, that's impressive. Bess I did
the mak because they had this opening drive. They came
out and they scored early on. They kicked a field goal.
The Bengals had seventy one yards of offense in the
first quarter. The final three quarters of the game, they
had eighty eight yards over the that eighty eight yards
(20:02):
the final three quarters of the game, which is seemingly
hard to do, but they managed to have less than
thirty yards on average the final three quarters of the game.
They basically tapped out. As we've said, they tapped out
there and the Broncos defense, listen, God, they locked the
doors all assed up. But it was more about what
the Bengals didn't do. Didn't play with fight, didn't play
(20:24):
just lazy, just floating on the lazy river there. And so,
as the great comedian Chris Rock taught me years ago,
you do not get extra credit for doing what you're
supposed to do. That was a game the Broncos were
favored by over a touchdown. They were supposed to win.
They did. So let's not pretend like Sean Payton's now
figured out time travel or something like that. That's not
(20:46):
it at all. So it's not the resurrection of the
Denver Broncos. Now they have a chance. They played Philadelphia
next week, and so I'm assuming Philadelphia is not going
to quit in that game like the Bengals. They're actually
going to be competitive, be professional, and not be gutless
like the Cincinnati Bengals. And so the other thing is
(21:07):
there's no such thing as momentum. So it's not like, oh,
the Broncos have all the momentum doesn't exist, all right,
It's just some crap dumb people buy into in sports,
and some sports writer named Grantlin Rice or whatever cooked
it up years ago and it just gets repeated and
idiots buy into it. Here. So we'll see what happens
next week when they play the Eagles, who have been
(21:31):
a beatable team. Like every game the Eagles have been
on the doorstep of despair and then find a way
to pull it out. It is the Ben Malor Show,
if you'd like to be part eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, and we'll also talk later on well,
but full monologue on the Miami Dolphins getting a win
(21:52):
and losing. At the same time it lose Tyreek Hill

a Miami Dolphin as his knee completely discombobulated. Just he's
in the hospital right now, so Tyreek oo, it seems

Late Night Drug Tester wrights In from Partsonni says not
surprised the Bengals just quit tonight, but they were just
following the lead of the defending division champion Ravens at
least Lamar Jackson. That is calling out Lamar Jackson as
(25:31):
a quitter. Tom from Fullerton writes and in solcases, imagine getting
paid eighty six million guaranteed and not having to have
Tua as your quarterback anymore. No wonder Tyreek was happy
on the cart. Yes, several people pointing out Tyreek did
not look too upset that he had suffered a career
threatening injury, did not appear too damaged by that, seemed
(25:54):
to be in good spirits. There, let's see here, super
Marcus Steve says, it's been a while since I heard
that Chris Rock bit. He says, and always trying to
get credit for stuff they're supposed to do, like taking
credit of the kids and paying their taxes. Yes, that
(26:15):
was part of the routine. Supermarcuts Steve there, but I'm
sure it's on YouTube. Can go back and check it
out if you're into it. But it's a good line.
There's other people that have said it. I just give
Chris Rock credit because he's a funny person and I
remember him doing shtick, and there's other people I could
quote that have said similar things over the years. I
just choose to give the credit to Chris Rock. Just
(26:39):
Josh in Cincinnati writes and says, thank god you watch
this Monday night suckfest. So the rest of us didn't
have to Just Josh has because when players don't give
an F, I don't give an F. Zach Taylor is
and he's quoting here. Cam Ward is ass, the offensive
line is ass, and the ownership is According to just Josh,
(27:01):
thirty plus years of building that losing character, blow it up,
blow it up, blow it up, blow it up, blow
it up. You really are a man of the people.
The work that you do, yes, clearly. Now when the
game is that bad, yes, what do you resort to?
Do You start twiddling your thumbs? Do you have a
crossword puzzle?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Do you like lay upside down?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Start doing yoga? Yeah? Well it's really and I know
in the military they have a purple heart. What do
we have in sports media when you have to watch
a terrible game? Every bad game? Yeah, like all the
bad games, like it's just one bed. Oh my gosh,
it's so bad. Now I did get a little I
got a little twinge. I got excited because the Bengals
were falling apart, Lorena, and that makes for good talk
(27:40):
radio because I do get I'm not gonna lie here.
I get a little excited when a team's losing, and
then it's when they're losing and they're just bad that sucks.
But when they quit on the coach, I kind of
like it. I think that's cool. And then when you
have the star receiver screaming at the coach on the sidelines,
Oh that's good. That is good, right, Jesus that solid.
I like that. Just in time, Davis writes and says, Hey, Mallard,
(28:03):
are the Ben goals related to the Dolphins? When their
quarterback goes down, the whole ship goes too. Does that
mean both coaches suck? Sure? Yeah, Fat Daddy writes in
a long suffering fan of the Angels in baseball, says,
Big Ben the monologue was on fire, a lot of passion.
(28:26):
Let's just hope that the Ben goals don't play in
prime time anymore. What a freaking joke. He's the daddy.
It's not good, not a not a real great situation
there at at all. All right, let's go to the
phones and eeny meenie miney mo let's say hello to
(28:47):
MGM John A blast from the past in Vegas. I
did not see MGM John at the Big Mallard meet
and greet we had there a few months back. Hello,
MGM John, welcome.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Mister Ben Maler, j E ts just and the season
it's over. The Jets will miss the playoffs for the
fifteenth year in a row after starting a disasters er
and four starts. We have seen it live on primetime television.
It is a disaster in the making.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, No, you got the new hotshot coach there, Aaron Glenn,
and the media likes Aaron Glenn. He's a passionate guy
and everything will be fine there. Everything's going to be fine,
although I did like he was screaming at his players
after the game. The good news is you can already
start preparing as a Jets fan, MGM John. You can
start preparing for the twenty twenty six NFL Draft, So
(29:41):
start getting your draft stuff ready. You can wait for
the combines and when really you need to just watch
college football on Saturdays because that's where that's where it's at.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
And I can tell you if this is gonna be
the most New York Jets take will be We will
get the number one overall pick, and our number one
overall pick will be Arch Manning quarterback.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
He's not gonna be the number one pick. Have you
watched him play at Texas. He's not that good. Yeah,
I know. And by the way, most of the Manning suck.
They do, right if you rent to talk about this,
I mean they think they're funny and all that. But
Eli Manning was a mediocre NFL quarterback. Cooper Manning never
made it, and Peyton Manning used performance and dancing drugs.
(30:28):
That's the Manning family. Yeah, okay, and he was a
five hundred quarterback. Okay, he's a couple of fluke runs.
That's not that good. I'm not that impressed.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
All I think is one super Bowl and the.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, Joe Flacco, MGM John one
of the all time great quarterbacks. Why are the Browns
fans try to bench him? He's a super Bowl sha
Nick Foles? Right, Nick Fole. You wouldn't have Nick Foles
wipe your ass. But he won a super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Okay, come on, it's gonna be a long seat for
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's not gonna be It's not gonna be any different
than any other season. And we've got right now. We
have a three way tie, well not a three way
tie because it's based on winning percentage, but strength of schedule.
The Saints, Jets and Titans all on and four, neck
and neck for the top pick. Get your mock draft
ready for twenty twenty six. The Saints are on the clock,
(31:22):
living up to expectations. There the New Orleans Saints at
oh and four, and you need to study now, MGM John,
Someone named Leonora Sellars. I'm not sure who that is?
What what what what?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
What?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
What? What?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
What Sellers?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
He's a proud id rather get there, no timer than
Lonor Sellars out of South Carolina? Do we not, Saron,
that's happening in New Orleans WITHFT.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I gotta go. I'm glad you're back. Is this we're
talking in like six months? MGM John?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Yes, eleg But one more thing. The AH shows are
not in the playoffs thanks to my ring.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Now, you didn't say that the proper way. You gotta
say nda da da da da da. Hey, good bye,
see you later. A holes, You're not in the playoffs,
you losers. Hey, one of those dope be hacked daytime
talk show host in Houston gonna do? What are they
gonna do? They?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
My god, all those blowhards who suck ITT radio? My god, Anyway,
I think away. Cameron is in Indiana. Hello Cameron, he's
a day late and a dollar short. Hello Cameron. Welcome.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
So I was gonna talk about Colin Cowherd, but I
will just.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Say, well, why would you know? Why would you talk
about Cowherd is on? He's an overnight show for me.
I sleep while he's on. I don't know Cowherd show.
I know he gets paid a lot more money than
I get paid, but I'm sleeping when he's on the air.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
So I cannot talk about Cowherd now since you've just
been insult with my quarterback. So I'm getting there. A
Brady fan Who's the biggest cheat of all time?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Who? Who's your court? Peyton Manny's your quarterback? Is that?
Is that your your guy?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:07):
So it's that guy all right? But anyway, it's not
I can predict the future. And let me just tell
you A J. Brown is going to be crying on
the Dolphins sideline now with Tyreeks injury, let's tell you
that much.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Really, how is a J. Brown gonna be crying on
the Dolphins sideline? How's that going to work? Does he
is going to like leave the Eagles and just walk
over to Miami. Is that what's going to happen?
Speaker 5 (33:32):
How could happen? But now I'm just bus miss Josh.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, well that's an amazing take. I gotta tell you,
that's an original take. That's your own take, right, Yes.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
All right, it's not any worse than Colin Coward's sake.
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I don't. I don't know what he's he's got going
on over there. You can. You could call and complain
to him, but I don't think he takes calls. So
I think you could call him up. I don't does
he take calls? I don't know he is not. Yeah, well,
most of the you know, the big time talent gets
spent a lot of money. They hide from the people
that listen, which I don't blame them. If I made
a lot of money, i'd hide from you too. I
wouldn't want to talk to you. I made real money.
(34:09):
Come on, please, you think I'd want to talk to
the unwashed? God know, I'd live in my mansion in Chicago,
I Coward. I wouldn't be out and about with you losers.
My god, no way. I thank you, Kim amazing contribution
to the show. So the reporting on Micah Parsons. I
love this, So you think it's over now? The Packers
(34:32):
and Cowboys played to a tie. They played to a tie,
Well not so much. Apparently Micah Parsons is bitter and broken.
The tabloids reporting that Parsons not real happy, bitter and
broken with Jerry Jones and the Cowboys ownership, and that
(34:55):
was only reinforced. His resentment towards Jerry Jones intensified after
playing in Dallas on Sunday, and much of his angs
directed towards the billionaire Jimmy Jones. Good old was he
eighty two? His face is about thirty five or something
like that. But yeah, so they're supposedly some bad blood,
(35:19):
some stuff happened prior to the game, and not not happy,
not happy Mike Caparison, but very vague. The report is
very vague. What possibly happened? I don't know. I need
more details to have an opinion. No, no, good talk
shows does not need a lot of details to have
an opinion. Just go with the opinion, just feel the opinion.
And you've just got to soak in the opinion and
(35:41):
just go with the opinion. Anyway, time now for the
who am I game? This is where I pretend to
be somebody else. You can answer this on X at
Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor if you'd like to
be part of the program. And here we go. The
twenty twenty five Jake brown and Joe Burrow Benals are
(36:02):
the first team since A Blank was the quarterback of
a different NFL team to lead a team to fewer
than two hundred yards of offense in three of their
first four games in a season. Happened very often, so
Jake Browning and Joe Burrow combined. Burrow hurt his toe
(36:23):
before that he wasn't playing very well. So Jake Browning
and Joe Burrow the Bengals quarterbacks. They are the first
team since Blank was the quarterback to lead a different
team with fewer than two hundred yards of offense in
three of their first four games in a season. Who
am I? That is the question. The answer will get
to it, and we will also have the very riveting
(36:44):
and very exciting play the day we'll get to all that.
We will do it next.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
