Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number on our one
of the Ben Malors Show, the Original Recipe podcast. We
do thank you guys for listening to this podcast. Otherwise,
why are we doing the podcast? And I know it's
different than listening to the Overnight show. Some of you
guys have complained, how come there's no music? Well, that's
because they charge extra for the music and podcasts, so
(00:22):
that's why they take the music out. But we had
a great NFL Sunday, good start to the football season,
and we start out with a wild ride, a roller
coaster in that Sunday night game last night. Did the
Bills win it? Or did the Ravens lose it? We'll
answer that question is Josh Allen leads a heroic rally
for the Buffalo football team. Also aside from Derrick Henry,
(00:44):
who else ends up eating a piece of the Baltimore
Blame crabcakes from an epic meltdown by the Ravens. And
how encouraging is this win for Josh Allen and the
Buffalo Bills. They get off to the one and no start.
All that and more. Right now, it's an uphill battle
in our number one where the Buffalo roam even when
(01:09):
they're not supposed to. Room welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
In the beginning of another week of the Bain Mallards Show,
we are in the air everywhere audio buddies as we
are popping and locking coast, the coast, border, the border
and beyond on the vast and super abundantly powerful microphones
(01:34):
of fsre.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Ammundating live rom. The brew, a witch's brew of hot
takes here from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, the world
famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, and this portion of the
Ben Mallee Show made possible in part by our friends
at ty Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
(01:55):
where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard to action with convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation,
tire act dot Com the way tire bond should be.
So we're one man band here. So I got a
lot going on, a lot to do to get ready
for the show. So when you do it all by yourself,
you have a late on the Twitter stuff and all that.
So we'll get that up at some point. But our
(02:17):
lead to begin the festivities here, we start with the
Sunday night game, and all what a Sunday night game
it was from Western New York. I don't know if
you were tuned in. Supposed to be a big matchup
made for TV. Couple of AFC heavyweights here, the Bills
and the Ravens going at it, scoring up the first
Sunday night Island game. You know, we love our island games,
(02:40):
so let's they suck and then we don't talk about that.
But this was a game worthy of conversation. So I
don't know if you're watching it or not. So the
Bills are not as fun to me early in the
year when the weather's okay to watch a Bills game
in Orchard Park, like it's got to be nasty weather.
When the weather's not that bad, it's like, who cares,
It's just not as compelling. But the weather was fine
(03:01):
and the Bills taking on the Ravens squaring up, and
that was the matchup. And if you did not watch it,
you were burned out on football. You missed a doozy.
You missed a doozy. So Josh Allen putting the team
on his back. There he leads the Buffalo football team
for three scores, not one not two, but three scores
(03:22):
in the final four minutes, and it was capped off
by a thirty two yard field goal by vagabond kicker
Matt Prater. They made a big deal about the fact
that he just joined the team. That's what kickers do.
They're not real players. They just changed teams all the time. Anyway,
Matt Prater gift a thirty two yard chip shot field
goal as time expired. Turn out the last the parties
(03:44):
over see you later, that's it, goodbye, And so the
Bills rally from fifteen points down, fifteen points down, and
they clipped the wings of the ones. Proud Ravens say
bye bye, I see you later, alligator there as the
Ravens go down forty one forty in the season opener,
(04:07):
A thriller, and somebody do a wellness check on Chris Collinsworth.
I think he might have had an orgasm in the
fourth quarter. He was so excited. Oh my god, he
was so Pull your pants up, Chris. It's okay, it's
all right, pal. Anyway, so Buffalo somehow scores what turned
out to be sixteen points in the final three fifty
six of the football game, and it was capped off
(04:30):
as we said by the kick by Matt Prater, there
but man three hundred and ninety four totally ours for
Josh Allen and the Bills offense, click a lick and
couple of touchdown throws, a couple of touchdowns on the
ground for Josh Allen as the past, couple of MVPs
in the NFL getting together there and guys that are
(04:53):
in the shadow. Let's face it, these guys aren't as
good as Patrick Mahomes, but you know they might fund
to watch each other play one on one. If only
they could do something against the Chiefs in the playoffs,
it would be different. Now. The better story is in
the losing locker room. We talk about losers. We love losers,
We live for the losers. That's where the story is.
(05:15):
Especially the Ravens like the losers are just more compelling
to talk about. They're just better talk radio. Losers always
more compelling than winners one hundred percent of the time.
There the tragedy is more important than the triumph in
a sporting context, and the heartbreak the common denominator the
(05:35):
heartbreak for a great story. And there's a lot of
finger pointing, a lot of finger pointing going on on
the Baltimore side of things, as it's not very often
that you are that incompetent, it considered a good team
and you play like El poopo down the stretch of
that game. So let us discuss the question did the
(06:00):
Bills win this game? Outright? Did they take the game?
Or was this in case where the Ravens lost the game?
And so I've got vending machine, President Biden, and Global Tour,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make some Buffalo wings which were
(06:21):
invented in Buffalo. The chicken wing. Yeah, yeah, chickens didn't
have wings before a restaurant in Buffalo, the Anchor Bar.
That's right. The chicken did not have wings until the
Anchor Bar in Buffalo started serving them. And that's true.
I've been to the Anchor Bar before that. Chickens did
not have wings. All right, So let us discuss the
(06:42):
first thought here is that this was less It was
less about Josh Allen riding in on a white horse
with a capeon to save the day. Josh Allen is
here to save the day. No, So it's about Baltimore
lighting their own house on fire and getting a full,
(07:02):
all inclusive trip on the vomit comet. They flat's absolutely right,
they did ride the vomit comment. This was such a
bad performance. When the game was over, the raven fiends
were calling billboard lawyers. You know those billboard lawyers who
hurt you and will fight for you. Well, they were
contacting those lawyers I know who hurt me. Number twenty
(07:24):
two in your program, but number zero in clutch time.
That would be the running back for the Ravens, Dereck Henry.
Number again, number twenty two in your program, but number
zero when it matters most there for the Ravens. At
the end of this game, Lord hen Lord Henry giveth
and Lord Henry taketh away. In this game here one
hundred and sixty nine yards and a couple of touchdowns,
(07:46):
and then that monstrosity at the end of the game
there three ten or so on the clock, and bug
on the rug, the bug on the rug right, and
that that Sunday night game the Grinch on Christmas Eve.
That was Derrick Henry. It'll fumble on the on the
(08:09):
ground there, and so he wanted a snack. Dereck Henry's like, hey,
it's Sunday night. I want to have a nice little snack.
So he went to the vending machine and he ended
up finding the vending machine of Doom, and he went
up there. He put a dollar into the vending machine
of Doom, and he wanted a snickers bar. He thought
that would be a nice snack at dice delicious Snickers bar,
(08:30):
And so he punched in the number on the vending
machine of Doom, and for some reason it spit out
a butterfinger, and that's what he did. He'd say, you know,
I got a butter finger, so I'm gonna give a
butterfinger performance. There. Boom ball on the ground. That's it.
It was a three oh six when the play stopped,
three oh six to go on the clock. In that game,
bug on the rug and Ravens recover. And that's the
(08:54):
thing you can't do at the moment. You can't do
it for the Ravens. And the Ravens make no mist
they had this game in the bag. The game was
in the bag. And it bothers me because obviously we
know what happened. Bills won the game, and so what
ends up happening now is like anytime a team is
down by a couple of scores. The cliche and broadcasting
(09:16):
at Sportscasters College is well, let's keep talking about remember
that Bill's Ravens game. Yeah, this will not happen again
this season. This is it. This is the one, the
one off for the entire season that a team chokes
as badly and as pathetically as the Baltimore Ravens did
in this game. And then that is a flat out
(09:37):
choke job by the Ravens. There, Derrick Henry was the
if you look around here, all the Ravens had to
do I mentioned games in the back. All the Ravens
had to do was stroll down the monopoly board and pass, Go,
collect two hundred dollars and a nice victory and call
it a night. That's it. Go back to Baltimore and
hang out with sports with Coleman. But what do they
(09:57):
do there? No, Instead, they landed on go directly to jail,
Go right to jail, Do not pass, go, do not collect,
squat you get nothing. And Derrick Henry, the prison warden
there handing, handing them the orange jumpsuit, saying, here you go, boys,
it's a nice, big juicy L right there, nice big
(10:18):
delicious L. And so now there.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Will be some.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's not his fault. He put up great numbers. But okay,
these are bad people. These are evil people. The people
that believe that they're fantasy nerve there losers we need.
It's like a disease. We need to cut the disease
out people that believe that because listen, forget the snut sheet.
I'm not playing fantasy football all right, Forget the game plan,
(10:44):
forget all that other stuff here. This was about the
E word execution, and they failed. Most games are lost,
not one. Most games are lost, not one. This is
a great example. This is a humiliation situation. Is what
the Ravens fans. They got served, and they got served
(11:05):
some bad open mic poetry is what they got. Roses
are red, violets are blue, and I can hold on
to a football better than number twenty two. Uh yeah, wow,
tell me I'm wrong. No, that was that was pretty
bad us. This was not somehow Buffalo going Rocky Balboa.
(11:28):
I don't want to hear that. I'm sure that's already
been written somewhere, but that's not my position on this.
This was Baltimore face planting, like the iconic George Costanza
back in the day, running out of the kid's birthday party,
fire drill just about having a melt down there and
the bills, they're essentially this win is like, Hey, I
found a twenty dollar bill. I found a nice twenty
(11:49):
dollar bill blowing down the street, and yeah, you know,
you take it. Yeah, maybe you go out and buy
some food with it, and you have a I don't
think you can buy a full lunch with that anymore
twenty dollars, But you put the money down, you buy
a little food, and that's it. But you didn't earn it.
You know that you found it, you didn't necessarily earn it,
(12:11):
per se. And so the w does go to Buffalo,
congratulations on that, and the scar tissue goes to the
Baltimore football team. L Butterfinger Rapper to Derek Henry. Let's
hear from the head coach of the Ravens one, John Harbaugh. John,
your team just rode the vomit comet. What do you
(12:31):
have to say for yourself? Coach Harbaugh? Are you disappointing?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
We're just gonna have to regroup and get ready to
go play a long season. We got sixteen games in
front of us, good football team, tough environment, obviously, We
did many good things, but we didn't play well at
the end. Two big situations. The fourth down play, I mean,
that's kind of a play that you don't really expect
to happen. I mean, it was pretty pretty lucky play,
but they made it. Between the scrambles. Josh Allen played
(12:57):
a great game, obviously, especially at the end fourth quarter
to make those plays. Scrambled plays, extended extended completions, and
then a couple of big pass plays.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
So that's it.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
We're disappointed, but we'll be We'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Play like that, you might not have sixteen more games
to play. Holy crap, all right. Now. Aside from Derrick
Henry and his putting the bug on the rug and
that that's a trend around the NFL, I think there's
a certain Houston Texans player we can thank for that
as well. Anyway, Aside from Derrick Henry, who else ends
(13:33):
up who else ends up eating a piece of the
Baltimore Blame crabcakes. Henry's clearly got half the crab cake.
He's got like the majority of the crab cakes and
all that stuff. But you gotta hand Lamar Jackson a fork.
You gotta hand Lamar Jackson the fork. Lamar gets a
doggie bag as well. Oh he's a former MVP. What
(13:54):
are you talking about. You didn't watch the game, ban
a shut up. Lamar Jackson is guilty as anybody of
taking his foot off the gas, said, well, that's John
Harbaugh's strategy to just let up in the fourth quarter
of the game was over and all that they let
up on the gas too soon. Though, they let up
on the gas too soon. That's the issue here. For
three quarters, the Ravens as a team were a well
(14:16):
filtered Instagram booty model. I mean, they had a lot
going on looking good, right, and then in the fourth
quarter that's when it all went to hell. Right, the
Henry fumble was brutal, but they roll around there and
Lamar Jackson did he finish the game properly? Let's see here.
Let let's go to the eyeball test and the stats.
The eyeball test said no. The stats say no as well.
(14:40):
He put on cruise control like he was driving Miss
Daisy in the fourth quarter there, and turns out that
bit him. Fifteen yards passing in the fourth quarter for
Lamar Jackson and a fifty nine passer rating. It was
kind of like he was playing Madden, but demo mode.
It was like the demo mode on Madden. Done that. Yeah,
(15:01):
not good, And he just kind of gave the controller
back now. I meanwhile, Josh Allen in the fourth quarter
was doing the electric boogaloo. He was doing the electric
slide there for the Ravens right in the end zone.
And let's also not not forget here, since we're playing
the blame game, let's not forget the Baltimore defense. Let's
not take them off the hook here. The Baltimore defense
(15:22):
was ooei gooy and then went kabouie. They just went
kub blue kub blue kablue. At the end of that game,
they gave up two hundred and sixty four yards and
twenty two points in the fourth quarter. Tell me you
suck at defense without telling me the second events. Then
they spend a bunch of money on defensive players, improving
the secondary in Baltimore. Wasn't I told that? Where was that?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I guess they'll play well against the Cleveland Browns. Though,
they'll do very well against the Cleveland Browns. That's good. Okay,
So they'll play well against them, that's good, all right.
Against the Bills, not so much. That was not defense
that the team from Baltimore played. That was an open
borders policy is what that was. And somewhere former President
Biden is very proud of the way the Buffalo Bills
(16:04):
approached that and the Ravens defensively approached that because it
was like, come on, fellas, come on in here, take
the end zone, take yourselves, make yourselves at home, settle
right in. The Ravens opening the door here, no resistance
at all, borderless end zone for the Baltimore Ravens. Tremendous here,
and the secondary wide open, kind of like when you
(16:25):
get the Costco if you get there early before the
rush on a Saturday, and there's Costco samples and if
you get there early enough before the rush boom, you're
in as many samples as you wants. Way to go, man,
And we heard the soundway from John Harbaugh, the Ravens
head coach here. He was just standing there, it appeared
based on my television. I was watching the game and
(16:47):
what I saw was John Harbaugh standing there. He had
his headset and a guy he was trying to return
something in the TV or something that was broken. He's
getting no answers from the desk, and that was it.
And so there you go, and there'll be people said, well,
you just don't you don't know ball. But Lamar Jackson
had a great stat line and all that, just like
(17:08):
Derrick Henry. And of course my response is always whoopie
damn do that's my response on that. And games generally
are decided in the fourth quarter. That game should not
have been decided in the fourth quarter. You have a
fifteen point lead, you should be very comfortable. They were
not very comfortable in that position. You should have been
very comfortable there in that position. So down the stretch
(17:30):
it was a game we call crazy eights or in
this case crazy eight as Derrick Henry. Yeah, Derek Henry
holding he was already holding the scarlet letter card. And
then Lamar he drew another eight. And the defense for
the Ravens they were playing and they struck with the draw.
Four game over is what they had there so hand,
(17:50):
everyone at the table, everyone gets a crab cake, and
they all stink. And he talk about absolutely setting the tone,
and they set tone. They all blew it. Henry, Lamar
Henry the most Lamar, and that defense defense could have
picked up the slack that was who's at your dinner
table right there eating crabcakes? The blame crabcakes? Now quick?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
All right? Last word here? So how encouraging? We'll go
to the winners locker room. How encouraging is this performance
and victory for Josh Allen and the Buffalo football team,
A team that's been lurking around in contender status, but
a Fox contender. They find new and creative ways to
choke in big games. So this is not a big game.
(18:32):
It's a regular season game. How big could it be?
It's I mean, we're sitting here talking in September. The
season will go all the way through end of December
and then January, the playoffs in February, the super Bowl
and all that. So how encouraging? This is the daily double?
It is the daily double. Here you get the one
to oh record for the Bills. Check that box. So
(18:52):
you're one to zero. And you have more importantly, the
game in hand, the head to head, assuming that the
Ravens don't completely fall off the map this year, you
have the hand in hand with the Ravens AFC bragging
rights if it comes down to Buffalo and Baltimore at
the end of the year, and Buffalo, to their credit,
(19:15):
played until the final whistle, unlike the Ravens who had
the lead and gave up. And that is a gutless
performance at the end of that game by the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bills, to their credit, did not play like that.
They went right until the end. But I would not
get too excited though, if I'm a Buffalo Bill fin
based on this win, because you were getting your ass
kicked for the vast majority of that game and a
(19:37):
fluky thing does not change the fact that for the
balance of that game you could not match up with
the Baltimore Ravens offensively. The Ravens lost this game because
of more self inflicted wounds. It wasn't anything the Buffalo
Bills did. It was what the Ravens did to cost
themselves this game. Baltimore had been manhandling, absolutely manhandling the
Bills dollar general defense. This game. Ravens scored on seven
(20:02):
of the first eight possessions, seven of them including not one,
not two, three to nine, four, but five touchdowns. So
Buffalo's defense ready to go on a global tour as
a matador. Hoay, holy holy yeah, bullfighting baby. And this
case they actually won though Ravens averaged eight point six
(20:25):
yards per play and lost. How do you do that?
They averaged nine point two yards per pass, eight point
two yards per run and still lost the game. Now,
in a positive note, the Bills have some time to
work out their defensive frailties. They have the hostess schedule
coming up. They play the Jets, that's pretty much a
guaranteed win. They play the Dolphins, and then they also
(20:46):
played the Saints. Those last two games at home, two
of what figure to be the worst teams in the
NFL this year, the Dolphins and the Saints. That's Cupcake City.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to
comment on any of that football back, maybe a full
card of the NFL. We're here all night to break

a Bronco fan. Your comments can and will be used
against you in the court of sports radio. Ferg Dog
says Ben, be honest, here were you already putting the
finishing touches on your mauthted monologuet the start of the
(24:20):
fourth quarter, not knowing the Ravens decided that football is
only three quarters of a sport. What a pathetic team,
uh f dock. No, I had not done that. I
was not preparing the monologue, was watching the Ames, observing
and listening to Chris Collsworth yet again work his magic
there on television. People accusing him of yet again being
(24:45):
being biased. That going on and it's NonStop. He boy,
does anyone love quarterbacks these broadcasts? Is it a rule
you have to just lick the toes of the quarterbacks
in the NFL to be a broadcaster in the NFL?
My god, wild Craig crying. Craig rights and says, no
(25:06):
surprise when the Seahawks turned the ball over at the end,
What did I do? I cried, he said, crying, crying, Craig.
Emotional emotional intelligence, emotional well being. So he says, there
you go. Scrooge points out a Sunday night game, another
beautiful example of why the Ravens with Lamar Jackson will
(25:27):
never win a Super Bowl. How many more excuses does
this team get? Well, at least one one more excuse? Well,
Lamar actually claimed, and he said, we have some audience,
will play this. Here's Lamar points out what was going
on on the fourth and three play. Here's Lamar explaining
(25:50):
what went wrong on that.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
So that's why I pretty much yopped out the field,
because if I wasn't, I would everybody had no alta
been trying to go fourth, fourth and three?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
You know, Okay, So isn't that on Lamar like you
just admitted that you are not taking care of yourself.
You're not drinking enough fluids? Am I wrong to look
at it that way?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Being?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Am I being a schmuck? Like your get You have
to be ready to go. It's game one you're supposed
to be in like the top ship. Isn't it only
going to get worse after this? And Lamar's I was cramping?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Have you ever had one of those debilitating leg cramps? Though,
Ben Well, I've had it worse.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I've met laryngitis doing talk radio, and my bosses don't listen.
So I have continue to do larryng giys I. Anytime
I have an issue, it pops up. I still have
to work. So Mark from Queen's right, since it says
been really and truly enjoyed the opening mile of monologue,
he says, bravo and your correct opinion. He says, most
(26:46):
games are lost, not one. There you go, Mark from
from Queens. Timothy says, didn't the Ravens collapse like that
last year against the Raiders at home too? I believe, Well,
this game was in Buffalo, that was at home against
the Raiders last year. That was the great Gardner Minshew performance. Overnight,
Joe writes and says, hey, big men. For those Bills
(27:07):
fan who left the game early, the NFL network is
rerunning it at three am and three pm. I guess
they didn't remember Frank Reich on January third, nineteen ninety three.
That's from overnight Joe checking in. I can't get too
upset with people leaving. I can't like the game was over,
and it was over. If you look at the math
(27:28):
on this, you don't stick around for the one out
of a million chants that a game turns around like that.
You don't now this story that everyone's been yapping about, though,
that the story's gonna have legs other than the outcome.
The fourth quarter of the game has got to be
the interaction between a fan and Lamar Jackson. If you
(27:50):
were watching the game or listening to it on radio,
you likely know that a fan was getting touchy feely
with some of the Raven players of Buffalo Bill fan
who was slapping Ravens players on the helmet, and Lamar
Jackson determined that he did not want to be a
party of this activity. So Lamar decided he would he
(28:14):
would push back and he did. Lamar shoved a Buffalo
Bills fan for slapping his helmet. And now the question
is will the NFL punish Will they punish Lamar Jackson?
But DeAndre Hopkins made a catch and there was a
play that kind of went spilled into the end zone.
(28:34):
It was at that time, I think it was the
third quarter and it was twenty seven nineteen was the
score at the time. There was a minute fifteen to go.
Ravens had it second and seven and DeAndre the ball
was thrown to DeAndre Hopkins. He caught it for a touchdown.
All the Ravens ran down in the corner there to celebrate,
(28:56):
and it spilled over near the crowd and the mafia,
the Bill's mafia, they were having none of that activity
as they decided that they would like to celebrate and
they wanted to slap some of the raven players. And
so we'll see, I'm gonna go on a limb here
and say, from a liability standpoint, this is a developing take.
(29:19):
Lamar Jackson is going to face a fine from the NFL.
He will not be suspended because it was a retaliatory
he got hit first. However, the NFL from a liability standpoint.
There are a million lawyers out there that are licking
their chops saying, okay, we got a suit here, and
(29:41):
how much you want? How much you want to bet?
The young guy he looked like he was in his
twenties that was slapping helmets there and then got shoved.
The guy that was wearing the red like Bill's jersey there,
they got shoved by Lamar, the two hand shove. You
want to take a bet. That guy right now is
at a hospital somewhere is trying to find some doctors
saying he might never recover from this. Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
People are so exactly like they just exaggerate everything. Think
about the Cardi b case. She's like, oh, we fun
give me twenty four million dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I know that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
This guy's gonna ask for ten million. Being shoved.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
This guy will say he can never go to a football.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
Game again, he has PTSDA.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
No, he'll sue the Bills because he probably was drunk,
you know, he drank too much and he'll blame the
Bills for that. And then he'll see he'll sue the
Ravens because Lamar shoved him and he can never, you know,
experience football the same way. This is his love, you know,
So we'll see. I'm guessing he'll be He'll be fine. Guess. Yeah.
The NFL's got strict rules. But again, all of these
things are for liability. It's all because of liability. That's
(30:40):
the issue. Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to Eeny Meenie, miney Moe. Let's say hello to Lucky
Tony in the leadoff chair. Hello, Lucky Tony. Hey man,
when is the perfect day to wear a Bears jersey?
When would that be? Every day? Okay, thank you? All right,
we're off the great start there.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
It's Oh, the moon is so beautiful tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
One for one, it's a corn moon.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
That's why I love corn.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, maybe Andrea will call it at some point give
us details on the corn moon that I heard it
was a corn moon. It doesn't look like corn. It
does not appear to be corn. But the corn moon.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Maybe if we put some butter and salt on it,
it could start to look like corn.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's go. We could put
some sugar on it, making kettle corn.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
H did you see my bag?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I know there's a there was is that? I know
that's a llama? Was that in the box?
Speaker 7 (31:34):
That was in the jumbo box?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Are you gonna like, what are you going to do
with it?
Speaker 7 (31:38):
That's a massive it's a huge lama.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Indeed, it's like six feet told. You know, I'm honestly.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
Thinking about making it the FSR mascot. We could put
a jumbo like jersey on him and different hats from
different teams.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Leave it here, so it could be an emotional support stuffy.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
People that need that kind of thing, and it's very
hold it.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
It's quite large.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Why do they make Why do they make that?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Well, who needs that?
Speaker 7 (32:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
There must be a group that needs that, like giant stuff.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Daniel Children's hospitals.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Maybe that's bigger than kids though that's not with that
scared children that thing. I don't know think do people
cuddle with it? Is it like a cuddle.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Bear like you're Maybe it's supposed to say.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Whatever you're whatever you're into. It's uh, there's a yeah,
Lorena every she gets mailed every day. I don't, but
she does, and I get I get prison mail. You
don't get that, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
I don't think I do not get prison mail.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
How come I'm you're the woman you're supposed to get
prison mil how come I'm still getting prison mal? That man.
We're big in prison.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
They want you to come and drop the soap.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Sometimes we dominate the prison life there late at night.
The boys in prison they'll get out though, at some
point they'll get out and there'll be great redemption stories
out there for sure. All Right, it is the ben
mail or show time Now for the who am I? Game?

Alf and Ferg dog ship fast and freeback by free
road hazard protection with convenience installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire iraq dot Com the way tire buying show me
(36:44):
So our lead this hour was about this Sunday night game,
but got pay off the who am I? Game? Right now?
John Harball. John Harbaugh joined web You make and me

the answer? And let's see here page down. Marty Schottenheimer
guest by Josh Rob says smoking. Jim Leland is the answer.
Stevie Meatball said some name I've never heard of. Who
(37:28):

Speaker 7 (38:52):
What say you, Lorraine, I'm gonna go with Don Shula.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Don Shula a terrible answer, the correct answer. Marion Campbell,
Marrion Campbell, John Harbaugh Weaview make the only coaches to
blow that many big weights in the fourth order. Why
are you? What are you doing here? Dare you? That's right,
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number on our one
of the Ben Malors Show, the Original Recipe podcast. We
do thank you guys for listening to this podcast. Otherwise,
why are we doing the podcast? And I know it's
different than listening to the Overnight show. Some of you
guys have complained, how come there's no music? Well, that's
because they charge extra for the music and podcasts, so
(00:22):
that's why they take the music out. But we had
a great NFL Sunday, good start to the football season,
and we start out with a wild ride, a roller
coaster in that Sunday night game last night. Did the
Bills win it? Or did the Ravens lose it? We'll
answer that question is Josh Allen leads a heroic rally
for the Buffalo football team. Also aside from Derrick Henry,
(00:44):
who else ends up eating a piece of the Baltimore
Blame crabcakes from an epic meltdown by the Ravens. And
how encouraging is this win for Josh Allen and the
Buffalo Bills. They get off to the one and no start.
All that and more. Right now, it's an uphill battle
in our number one where the Buffalo roam even when
(01:09):
they're not supposed to. Room welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
In the beginning of another week of the Bain Mallards Show,
we are in the air everywhere audio buddies as we
are popping and locking coast, the coast, border, the border
and beyond on the vast and super abundantly powerful microphones
(01:34):
of fsre.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Ammundating live rom. The brew, a witch's brew of hot
takes here from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, the world
famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, and this portion of the
Ben Mallee Show made possible in part by our friends
at ty Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
(01:55):
where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard to action with convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation,
tire act dot Com the way tire bond should be.
So we're one man band here. So I got a
lot going on, a lot to do to get ready
for the show. So when you do it all by yourself,
you have a late on the Twitter stuff and all that.
So we'll get that up at some point. But our
(02:17):
lead to begin the festivities here, we start with the
Sunday night game, and all what a Sunday night game
it was from Western New York. I don't know if
you were tuned in. Supposed to be a big matchup
made for TV. Couple of AFC heavyweights here, the Bills
and the Ravens going at it, scoring up the first
Sunday night Island game. You know, we love our island games,
(02:40):
so let's they suck and then we don't talk about that.
But this was a game worthy of conversation. So I
don't know if you're watching it or not. So the
Bills are not as fun to me early in the
year when the weather's okay to watch a Bills game
in Orchard Park, like it's got to be nasty weather.
When the weather's not that bad, it's like, who cares,
It's just not as compelling. But the weather was fine
(03:01):
and the Bills taking on the Ravens squaring up, and
that was the matchup. And if you did not watch it,
you were burned out on football. You missed a doozy.
You missed a doozy. So Josh Allen putting the team
on his back. There he leads the Buffalo football team
for three scores, not one not two, but three scores
(03:22):
in the final four minutes, and it was capped off
by a thirty two yard field goal by vagabond kicker
Matt Prater. They made a big deal about the fact
that he just joined the team. That's what kickers do.
They're not real players. They just changed teams all the time. Anyway,
Matt Prater gift a thirty two yard chip shot field
goal as time expired. Turn out the last the parties
(03:44):
over see you later, that's it, goodbye, And so the
Bills rally from fifteen points down, fifteen points down, and
they clipped the wings of the ones. Proud Ravens say
bye bye, I see you later, alligator there as the
Ravens go down forty one forty in the season opener,
(04:07):
A thriller, and somebody do a wellness check on Chris Collinsworth.
I think he might have had an orgasm in the
fourth quarter. He was so excited. Oh my god, he
was so Pull your pants up, Chris. It's okay, it's
all right, pal. Anyway, so Buffalo somehow scores what turned
out to be sixteen points in the final three fifty
six of the football game, and it was capped off
(04:30):
as we said by the kick by Matt Prater, there
but man three hundred and ninety four totally ours for
Josh Allen and the Bills offense, click a lick and
couple of touchdown throws, a couple of touchdowns on the
ground for Josh Allen as the past, couple of MVPs
in the NFL getting together there and guys that are
(04:53):
in the shadow. Let's face it, these guys aren't as
good as Patrick Mahomes, but you know they might fund
to watch each other play one on one. If only
they could do something against the Chiefs in the playoffs,
it would be different. Now. The better story is in
the losing locker room. We talk about losers. We love losers,
We live for the losers. That's where the story is.
(05:15):
Especially the Ravens like the losers are just more compelling
to talk about. They're just better talk radio. Losers always
more compelling than winners one hundred percent of the time.
There the tragedy is more important than the triumph in
a sporting context, and the heartbreak the common denominator the
(05:35):
heartbreak for a great story. And there's a lot of
finger pointing, a lot of finger pointing going on on
the Baltimore side of things, as it's not very often
that you are that incompetent, it considered a good team
and you play like El poopo down the stretch of
that game. So let us discuss the question did the
(06:00):
Bills win this game? Outright? Did they take the game?
Or was this in case where the Ravens lost the game?
And so I've got vending machine, President Biden, and Global Tour,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make some Buffalo wings which were
(06:21):
invented in Buffalo. The chicken wing. Yeah, yeah, chickens didn't
have wings before a restaurant in Buffalo, the Anchor Bar.
That's right. The chicken did not have wings until the
Anchor Bar in Buffalo started serving them. And that's true.
I've been to the Anchor Bar before that. Chickens did
not have wings. All right, So let us discuss the
(06:42):
first thought here is that this was less It was
less about Josh Allen riding in on a white horse
with a capeon to save the day. Josh Allen is
here to save the day. No, So it's about Baltimore
lighting their own house on fire and getting a full,
(07:02):
all inclusive trip on the vomit comet. They flat's absolutely right,
they did ride the vomit comment. This was such a
bad performance. When the game was over, the raven fiends
were calling billboard lawyers. You know those billboard lawyers who
hurt you and will fight for you. Well, they were
contacting those lawyers I know who hurt me. Number twenty
(07:24):
two in your program, but number zero in clutch time.
That would be the running back for the Ravens, Dereck Henry.
Number again, number twenty two in your program, but number
zero when it matters most there for the Ravens. At
the end of this game, Lord hen Lord Henry giveth
and Lord Henry taketh away. In this game here one
hundred and sixty nine yards and a couple of touchdowns,
(07:46):
and then that monstrosity at the end of the game
there three ten or so on the clock, and bug
on the rug, the bug on the rug right, and
that that Sunday night game the Grinch on Christmas Eve.
That was Derrick Henry. It'll fumble on the on the
(08:09):
ground there, and so he wanted a snack. Dereck Henry's like, hey,
it's Sunday night. I want to have a nice little snack.
So he went to the vending machine and he ended
up finding the vending machine of Doom, and he went
up there. He put a dollar into the vending machine
of Doom, and he wanted a snickers bar. He thought
that would be a nice snack at dice delicious Snickers bar,
(08:30):
And so he punched in the number on the vending
machine of Doom, and for some reason it spit out
a butterfinger, and that's what he did. He'd say, you know,
I got a butter finger, so I'm gonna give a
butterfinger performance. There. Boom ball on the ground. That's it.
It was a three oh six when the play stopped,
three oh six to go on the clock. In that game,
bug on the rug and Ravens recover. And that's the
(08:54):
thing you can't do at the moment. You can't do
it for the Ravens. And the Ravens make no mist
they had this game in the bag. The game was
in the bag. And it bothers me because obviously we
know what happened. Bills won the game, and so what
ends up happening now is like anytime a team is
down by a couple of scores. The cliche and broadcasting
(09:16):
at Sportscasters College is well, let's keep talking about remember
that Bill's Ravens game. Yeah, this will not happen again
this season. This is it. This is the one, the
one off for the entire season that a team chokes
as badly and as pathetically as the Baltimore Ravens did
in this game. And then that is a flat out
(09:37):
choke job by the Ravens. There, Derrick Henry was the
if you look around here, all the Ravens had to
do I mentioned games in the back. All the Ravens
had to do was stroll down the monopoly board and pass, Go,
collect two hundred dollars and a nice victory and call
it a night. That's it. Go back to Baltimore and
hang out with sports with Coleman. But what do they
(09:57):
do there? No, Instead, they landed on go directly to jail,
Go right to jail, Do not pass, go, do not collect,
squat you get nothing. And Derrick Henry, the prison warden
there handing, handing them the orange jumpsuit, saying, here you go, boys,
it's a nice, big juicy L right there, nice big
(10:18):
delicious L. And so now there.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Will be some.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's not his fault. He put up great numbers. But okay,
these are bad people. These are evil people. The people
that believe that they're fantasy nerve there losers we need.
It's like a disease. We need to cut the disease
out people that believe that because listen, forget the snut sheet.
I'm not playing fantasy football all right, Forget the game plan,
(10:44):
forget all that other stuff here. This was about the
E word execution, and they failed. Most games are lost,
not one. Most games are lost, not one. This is
a great example. This is a humiliation situation. Is what
the Ravens fans. They got served, and they got served
(11:05):
some bad open mic poetry is what they got. Roses
are red, violets are blue, and I can hold on
to a football better than number twenty two. Uh yeah, wow,
tell me I'm wrong. No, that was that was pretty
bad us. This was not somehow Buffalo going Rocky Balboa.
(11:28):
I don't want to hear that. I'm sure that's already
been written somewhere, but that's not my position on this.
This was Baltimore face planting, like the iconic George Costanza
back in the day, running out of the kid's birthday party,
fire drill just about having a melt down there and
the bills, they're essentially this win is like, Hey, I
found a twenty dollar bill. I found a nice twenty
(11:49):
dollar bill blowing down the street, and yeah, you know,
you take it. Yeah, maybe you go out and buy
some food with it, and you have a I don't
think you can buy a full lunch with that anymore
twenty dollars, But you put the money down, you buy
a little food, and that's it. But you didn't earn it.
You know that you found it, you didn't necessarily earn it,
(12:11):
per se. And so the w does go to Buffalo,
congratulations on that, and the scar tissue goes to the
Baltimore football team. L Butterfinger Rapper to Derek Henry. Let's
hear from the head coach of the Ravens one, John Harbaugh. John,
your team just rode the vomit comet. What do you
(12:31):
have to say for yourself? Coach Harbaugh? Are you disappointing?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
We're just gonna have to regroup and get ready to
go play a long season. We got sixteen games in
front of us, good football team, tough environment, obviously, We
did many good things, but we didn't play well at
the end. Two big situations. The fourth down play, I mean,
that's kind of a play that you don't really expect
to happen. I mean, it was pretty pretty lucky play,
but they made it. Between the scrambles. Josh Allen played
(12:57):
a great game, obviously, especially at the end fourth quarter
to make those plays. Scrambled plays, extended extended completions, and
then a couple of big pass plays.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
So that's it.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
We're disappointed, but we'll be We'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Play like that, you might not have sixteen more games
to play. Holy crap, all right. Now. Aside from Derrick
Henry and his putting the bug on the rug and
that that's a trend around the NFL, I think there's
a certain Houston Texans player we can thank for that
as well. Anyway, Aside from Derrick Henry, who else ends
(13:33):
up who else ends up eating a piece of the
Baltimore Blame crabcakes. Henry's clearly got half the crab cake.
He's got like the majority of the crab cakes and
all that stuff. But you gotta hand Lamar Jackson a fork.
You gotta hand Lamar Jackson the fork. Lamar gets a
doggie bag as well. Oh he's a former MVP. What
(13:54):
are you talking about. You didn't watch the game, ban
a shut up. Lamar Jackson is guilty as anybody of
taking his foot off the gas, said, well, that's John
Harbaugh's strategy to just let up in the fourth quarter
of the game was over and all that they let
up on the gas too soon. Though, they let up
on the gas too soon. That's the issue here. For
three quarters, the Ravens as a team were a well
(14:16):
filtered Instagram booty model. I mean, they had a lot
going on looking good, right, and then in the fourth
quarter that's when it all went to hell. Right, the
Henry fumble was brutal, but they roll around there and
Lamar Jackson did he finish the game properly? Let's see here.
Let let's go to the eyeball test and the stats.
The eyeball test said no. The stats say no as well.
(14:40):
He put on cruise control like he was driving Miss
Daisy in the fourth quarter there, and turns out that
bit him. Fifteen yards passing in the fourth quarter for
Lamar Jackson and a fifty nine passer rating. It was
kind of like he was playing Madden, but demo mode.
It was like the demo mode on Madden. Done that. Yeah,
(15:01):
not good, And he just kind of gave the controller
back now. I meanwhile, Josh Allen in the fourth quarter
was doing the electric boogaloo. He was doing the electric
slide there for the Ravens right in the end zone.
And let's also not not forget here, since we're playing
the blame game, let's not forget the Baltimore defense. Let's
not take them off the hook here. The Baltimore defense
(15:22):
was ooei gooy and then went kabouie. They just went
kub blue kub blue kablue. At the end of that game,
they gave up two hundred and sixty four yards and
twenty two points in the fourth quarter. Tell me you
suck at defense without telling me the second events. Then
they spend a bunch of money on defensive players, improving
the secondary in Baltimore. Wasn't I told that? Where was that?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I guess they'll play well against the Cleveland Browns. Though,
they'll do very well against the Cleveland Browns. That's good. Okay,
So they'll play well against them, that's good, all right.
Against the Bills, not so much. That was not defense
that the team from Baltimore played. That was an open
borders policy is what that was. And somewhere former President
Biden is very proud of the way the Buffalo Bills
(16:04):
approached that and the Ravens defensively approached that because it
was like, come on, fellas, come on in here, take
the end zone, take yourselves, make yourselves at home, settle
right in. The Ravens opening the door here, no resistance
at all, borderless end zone for the Baltimore Ravens. Tremendous here,
and the secondary wide open, kind of like when you
(16:25):
get the Costco if you get there early before the
rush on a Saturday, and there's Costco samples and if
you get there early enough before the rush boom, you're
in as many samples as you wants. Way to go, man,
And we heard the soundway from John Harbaugh, the Ravens
head coach here. He was just standing there, it appeared
based on my television. I was watching the game and
(16:47):
what I saw was John Harbaugh standing there. He had
his headset and a guy he was trying to return
something in the TV or something that was broken. He's
getting no answers from the desk, and that was it.
And so there you go, and there'll be people said, well,
you just don't you don't know ball. But Lamar Jackson
had a great stat line and all that, just like
(17:08):
Derrick Henry. And of course my response is always whoopie
damn do that's my response on that. And games generally
are decided in the fourth quarter. That game should not
have been decided in the fourth quarter. You have a
fifteen point lead, you should be very comfortable. They were
not very comfortable in that position. You should have been
very comfortable there in that position. So down the stretch
(17:30):
it was a game we call crazy eights or in
this case crazy eight as Derrick Henry. Yeah, Derek Henry
holding he was already holding the scarlet letter card. And
then Lamar he drew another eight. And the defense for
the Ravens they were playing and they struck with the draw.
Four game over is what they had there so hand,
(17:50):
everyone at the table, everyone gets a crab cake, and
they all stink. And he talk about absolutely setting the tone,
and they set tone. They all blew it. Henry, Lamar
Henry the most Lamar, and that defense defense could have
picked up the slack that was who's at your dinner
table right there eating crabcakes? The blame crabcakes? Now quick?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
All right? Last word here? So how encouraging? We'll go
to the winners locker room. How encouraging is this performance
and victory for Josh Allen and the Buffalo football team,
A team that's been lurking around in contender status, but
a Fox contender. They find new and creative ways to
choke in big games. So this is not a big game.
(18:32):
It's a regular season game. How big could it be?
It's I mean, we're sitting here talking in September. The
season will go all the way through end of December
and then January, the playoffs in February, the super Bowl
and all that. So how encouraging? This is the daily double?
It is the daily double. Here you get the one
to oh record for the Bills. Check that box. So
(18:52):
you're one to zero. And you have more importantly, the
game in hand, the head to head, assuming that the
Ravens don't completely fall off the map this year, you
have the hand in hand with the Ravens AFC bragging
rights if it comes down to Buffalo and Baltimore at
the end of the year, and Buffalo, to their credit,
(19:15):
played until the final whistle, unlike the Ravens who had
the lead and gave up. And that is a gutless
performance at the end of that game by the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bills, to their credit, did not play like that.
They went right until the end. But I would not
get too excited though, if I'm a Buffalo Bill fin
based on this win, because you were getting your ass
kicked for the vast majority of that game and a
(19:37):
fluky thing does not change the fact that for the
balance of that game you could not match up with
the Baltimore Ravens offensively. The Ravens lost this game because
of more self inflicted wounds. It wasn't anything the Buffalo
Bills did. It was what the Ravens did to cost
themselves this game. Baltimore had been manhandling, absolutely manhandling the
Bills dollar general defense. This game. Ravens scored on seven
(20:02):
of the first eight possessions, seven of them including not one,
not two, three to nine, four, but five touchdowns. So
Buffalo's defense ready to go on a global tour as
a matador. Hoay, holy holy yeah, bullfighting baby. And this
case they actually won though Ravens averaged eight point six
(20:25):
yards per play and lost. How do you do that?
They averaged nine point two yards per pass, eight point
two yards per run and still lost the game. Now,
in a positive note, the Bills have some time to
work out their defensive frailties. They have the hostess schedule
coming up. They play the Jets, that's pretty much a
guaranteed win. They play the Dolphins, and then they also
(20:46):
played the Saints. Those last two games at home, two
of what figure to be the worst teams in the
NFL this year, the Dolphins and the Saints. That's Cupcake City.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to
comment on any of that football back, maybe a full
card of the NFL. We're here all night to break
it all down, piece by piece. If you want to
be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's

Ben Mahler, you can, as the music abruptly stops, also
say a little Lorena FSR tech queen and coope at
a Bronco fan. Your comments can and will be used
against you in the court of sports radio. Ferg Dog
says Ben, be honest, here were you already putting the
finishing touches on your mauthted monologuet the start of the
(24:20):
fourth quarter, not knowing the Ravens decided that football is
only three quarters of a sport. What a pathetic team,
uh f dock. No, I had not done that. I
was not preparing the monologue, was watching the Ames, observing
and listening to Chris Collsworth yet again work his magic
there on television. People accusing him of yet again being
(24:45):
being biased. That going on and it's NonStop. He boy,
does anyone love quarterbacks these broadcasts? Is it a rule
you have to just lick the toes of the quarterbacks
in the NFL to be a broadcaster in the NFL?
My god, wild Craig crying. Craig rights and says, no
(25:06):
surprise when the Seahawks turned the ball over at the end,
What did I do? I cried, he said, crying, crying, Craig.
Emotional emotional intelligence, emotional well being. So he says, there
you go. Scrooge points out a Sunday night game, another
beautiful example of why the Ravens with Lamar Jackson will
(25:27):
never win a Super Bowl. How many more excuses does
this team get? Well, at least one one more excuse? Well,
Lamar actually claimed, and he said, we have some audience,
will play this. Here's Lamar points out what was going
on on the fourth and three play. Here's Lamar explaining
(25:50):
what went wrong on that.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
So that's why I pretty much yopped out the field,
because if I wasn't, I would everybody had no alta
been trying to go fourth, fourth and three?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
You know, Okay, So isn't that on Lamar like you
just admitted that you are not taking care of yourself.
You're not drinking enough fluids? Am I wrong to look
at it that way?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Being?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Am I being a schmuck? Like your get You have
to be ready to go. It's game one you're supposed
to be in like the top ship. Isn't it only
going to get worse after this? And Lamar's I was cramping?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Have you ever had one of those debilitating leg cramps? Though,
Ben Well, I've had it worse.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I've met laryngitis doing talk radio, and my bosses don't listen.
So I have continue to do larryng giys I. Anytime
I have an issue, it pops up. I still have
to work. So Mark from Queen's right, since it says
been really and truly enjoyed the opening mile of monologue,
he says, bravo and your correct opinion. He says, most
(26:46):
games are lost, not one. There you go, Mark from
from Queens. Timothy says, didn't the Ravens collapse like that
last year against the Raiders at home too? I believe, Well,
this game was in Buffalo, that was at home against
the Raiders last year. That was the great Gardner Minshew performance. Overnight,
Joe writes and says, hey, big men. For those Bills
(27:07):
fan who left the game early, the NFL network is
rerunning it at three am and three pm. I guess
they didn't remember Frank Reich on January third, nineteen ninety three.
That's from overnight Joe checking in. I can't get too
upset with people leaving. I can't like the game was over,
and it was over. If you look at the math
(27:28):
on this, you don't stick around for the one out
of a million chants that a game turns around like that.
You don't now this story that everyone's been yapping about, though,
that the story's gonna have legs other than the outcome.
The fourth quarter of the game has got to be
the interaction between a fan and Lamar Jackson. If you
(27:50):
were watching the game or listening to it on radio,
you likely know that a fan was getting touchy feely
with some of the Raven players of Buffalo Bill fan
who was slapping Ravens players on the helmet, and Lamar
Jackson determined that he did not want to be a
party of this activity. So Lamar decided he would he
(28:14):
would push back and he did. Lamar shoved a Buffalo
Bills fan for slapping his helmet. And now the question
is will the NFL punish Will they punish Lamar Jackson?
But DeAndre Hopkins made a catch and there was a
play that kind of went spilled into the end zone.
(28:34):
It was at that time, I think it was the
third quarter and it was twenty seven nineteen was the
score at the time. There was a minute fifteen to go.
Ravens had it second and seven and DeAndre the ball
was thrown to DeAndre Hopkins. He caught it for a touchdown.
All the Ravens ran down in the corner there to celebrate,
(28:56):
and it spilled over near the crowd and the mafia,
the Bill's mafia, they were having none of that activity
as they decided that they would like to celebrate and
they wanted to slap some of the raven players. And
so we'll see, I'm gonna go on a limb here
and say, from a liability standpoint, this is a developing take.
(29:19):
Lamar Jackson is going to face a fine from the NFL.
He will not be suspended because it was a retaliatory
he got hit first. However, the NFL from a liability standpoint.
There are a million lawyers out there that are licking
their chops saying, okay, we got a suit here, and
(29:41):
how much you want? How much you want to bet?
The young guy he looked like he was in his
twenties that was slapping helmets there and then got shoved.
The guy that was wearing the red like Bill's jersey there,
they got shoved by Lamar, the two hand shove. You
want to take a bet. That guy right now is
at a hospital somewhere is trying to find some doctors
saying he might never recover from this. Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
People are so exactly like they just exaggerate everything. Think
about the Cardi b case. She's like, oh, we fun
give me twenty four million dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I know that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
This guy's gonna ask for ten million. Being shoved.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
This guy will say he can never go to a football.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
Game again, he has PTSDA.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
No, he'll sue the Bills because he probably was drunk,
you know, he drank too much and he'll blame the
Bills for that. And then he'll see he'll sue the
Ravens because Lamar shoved him and he can never, you know,
experience football the same way. This is his love, you know,
So we'll see. I'm guessing he'll be He'll be fine. Guess. Yeah.
The NFL's got strict rules. But again, all of these
things are for liability. It's all because of liability. That's
(30:40):
the issue. Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to Eeny Meenie, miney Moe. Let's say hello to Lucky
Tony in the leadoff chair. Hello, Lucky Tony. Hey man,
when is the perfect day to wear a Bears jersey?
When would that be? Every day? Okay, thank you? All right,
we're off the great start there.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
It's Oh, the moon is so beautiful tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
One for one, it's a corn moon.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
That's why I love corn.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, maybe Andrea will call it at some point give
us details on the corn moon that I heard it
was a corn moon. It doesn't look like corn. It
does not appear to be corn. But the corn moon.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Maybe if we put some butter and salt on it,
it could start to look like corn.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's go. We could put
some sugar on it, making kettle corn.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
H did you see my bag?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I know there's a there was is that? I know
that's a llama? Was that in the box?
Speaker 7 (31:34):
That was in the jumbo box?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Are you gonna like, what are you going to do
with it?
Speaker 7 (31:38):
That's a massive it's a huge lama.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Indeed, it's like six feet told. You know, I'm honestly.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
Thinking about making it the FSR mascot. We could put
a jumbo like jersey on him and different hats from
different teams.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Leave it here, so it could be an emotional support stuffy.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
People that need that kind of thing, and it's very
hold it.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
It's quite large.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Why do they make Why do they make that?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Well, who needs that?
Speaker 7 (32:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
There must be a group that needs that, like giant stuff.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Daniel Children's hospitals.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Maybe that's bigger than kids though that's not with that
scared children that thing. I don't know think do people
cuddle with it? Is it like a cuddle.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Bear like you're Maybe it's supposed to say.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Whatever you're whatever you're into. It's uh, there's a yeah,
Lorena every she gets mailed every day. I don't, but
she does, and I get I get prison mail. You
don't get that, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
I don't think I do not get prison mail.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
How come I'm you're the woman you're supposed to get
prison mil how come I'm still getting prison mal? That man.
We're big in prison.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
They want you to come and drop the soap.
Speaker 1 (32:43):

The boys in prison they'll get out though, at some
point they'll get out and there'll be great redemption stories
out there for sure. All Right, it is the ben
