we chat on the radio via the podcast. Now that
they got those four last wins and another World Series,
(00:23):
will Dave Roberts be proved right? Regarding the Dodgers running baseball?
He said at the end of the NLCS over the Brewers,
we're gonna ruin baseball. Let's go out and do it.
And on the other side, were they Vladimir Guerrero Junior
Blue Jays really the better team in the World Series?
One of their announcers said that. And what grade are
(00:44):
we giving as we head into the offseason? Now? What
are we giving the twenty twenty five MLB free agent class?
The shopping season gets started on Thursday. In baseball, we'll
talk about that and more. Right now here it is
our number three. E e peasy for Sam Darnald, What
(01:04):
are you talking about? That's not supposed to be that easy.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben
Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere as we burst into
speech and use that Yankee ingenuity whatever that is coast
to coast, border, the border and beyond on the vast
and magnificently powerful microphones of FSR emminating live from the
(01:37):
wave as we are on the same exact wavelength from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where Mark and
Queens knows that this portion of the Ben Malor Show
on Fox made possible in part by our friends at
tyraq I see mister nice guy nodding his head in approval.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
(01:58):
like Mike and Tucson 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, which
makes our friend ferg Dog very happy and alf nodding
his head. Yes, like mobile tire installation. That's right, tyre
act dot Com the way tire mind should be. Now,
(02:20):
if you've listened to this show at all, you know
that normally on Sunday Night we focus in on the
island life, the island game, the Sunday Night game.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That's the most important game on the weekend. NBC's got
the biggest game every weekend Sunday Night by itself primetime. However,
we did not begin We did not begin this show
with that game. It was such a horrific mismatch. We
decided to move it to the second hour of the show.
(02:49):
And so Sunday Night Football you had Collinsworth and Tariko there,
the Seahawks traveling Armada making its way to the greater Washington,
DC area, landover Maryland where Rick and Maryland says morning
time right there. So I don't know if you saw
it or not. Maybe you didn't watch it. I'm telling
you you didn't miss anything we watched, so you would
(03:10):
not have to. It was a dead of a game,
but not a dot of a game for Sam Darnold,
who completed the first seventeen passes he attempted. I'm told
that's good. Had not one, not two, not three, but
four touchdown passes. All of that in the first half.
Seattle vaporized Washington thirty eight to fourteen the final in
(03:32):
a game that was not even that close. The game
was over at halftime. They were doing a bunch of
filler stuff in the second half. But the better story
is on the losing side. There's been a lot of losing.
There a lot of losing for the Washington Commanders this year.
It was an absenteeism performance by the team that represents
Washington DC. You know what they acted like. They acted
(03:53):
like politicians is what they acted like. You know how
politicians take a bunch of time off. That's the Commanders.
They took a bunch of time off. My god. Now
the game itself was upstaged by an injury, and we'll
address that right now. This is the snuffle offigus in
the room. The injury, and so Washington lost quarterback Jaden
(04:16):
Daniels to snap, crackle pop as he was injured. Daniels
the commander's phenom. You all told me how great this
guy is. He was in the final four last year
with Washington, Jaden Daniels, second year quarterback. There he left
midway through the fourth quarter. His non throwing arm bent
(04:37):
back like it was at a Halloween horror house, a
house of horrors, hunted house. There. My god, that is disgusting.
And there's I'm looking at a photo right here. Not good.
So Jaden Daniels is arm twisted back. I was tackled
near the Seattle goal line, and that is a good
(04:58):
jumping off point because this is the story and it's
going to be the hot debate topic in sports media today.
Jayden Daniels being injured. He suffered what we're being told
is a dislocated elbow. He is scheduled to have an
MRI later today and that will confirm the injury and
determine how long he is going to be out of action.
(05:19):
The good news is it's not his throwing arm. The
bad news is it is one of his arms. Generally speaking,
you need to have both. You need to take the
snap and when you're going back, you gotta you have
your off arm to kind of push away defenders and
all that stuff. So it's a bit of a problem.
Dan Quinn is getting absolutely just cooked for having his
(05:43):
player in the game in garbage time there late. Here
is dan Quinn, the head coach, probably not for long
the way this season's going there in Washington, but here's
dan Quinn commenting on why he was in there. He
was you know who made that decision. Let's find out
here we go, here's the coach.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, not of a space I mean, obviously, like the hindsight,
you don't want to think that way where you know
an injury could take place, you know, as we're more
conservative that spot to you know, run and hand off
and not have reachs to go. But just the end result, Micky,
it's him.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'm bummed. All right, So let us discuss the question
you heard, Dan Quinn, coach of Washington. He's getting charbroiled
like a Western bacon cheeseberg. He's getting absolutely scharbroiled for
the Jaden Daniels injury in garbage time. Is this criticism warranted?
Is the criticism warranted? So on this one, I've got
(06:38):
popsicle sticks, roller coaster, and finger foods and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a delicious Detroit style pizza which you can
make at home. Yeah, Detroit Detroit sty not bad. I
didn't even know that there was it until like five
years ago. I didn't even know what Detroit style pizza was.
(06:58):
I know Chicago style, but Detroit Stut's kind of a
rip off of Chicago Stell's. It's not quite as thick
and all right, So number why people are losing their
minds losing their minds over this? Why was he still
in the game, Jade and Daniels? Why risk it. You know,
of course, the argument is no risk it, no biscuit.
(07:19):
So let me hit the pause button. Hit the pause
button on the remote control here. Now I'm gonna say it.
I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud. I don't
think this is the worst coaching decision of all time.
I doubt. Oh my god, you're just trying to get attention.
That's why you're on overnights there. Just don't even post it.
No response. I understand all the arguments against it. Let
(07:40):
me make mallards elevator pitch in support of why dan
Quinn had Jade and Daniels in the game late. It
was mid fourth quarter when the injury happened. Right, you
cannot coach scared number one, Right, you cannot coach scared.
All right, the guy is trying to get a young
quarterback some positive reps. He if you were not watching
(08:04):
the game here, if you're actually honest, Jaden Daniels was
not exactly lighting the world on fire against the Seattle Seahawks.
And oh, by the way, this season when he has played,
has not looked anything like the guy last year for
the Washington Commanders, Right, so he needed the work. Oh
my god, you shouldn't say that he needed the work.
(08:25):
I said that he needed the work right, And so
dan Quinn was he chasing points at that at that
moment in the game, he was trying to get some
kind of confidence going for the Commanders right something. And
for Jadens, Jaden Daniels has been the word for him,
My word is meh. He's been a meh quarterback this
(08:46):
year for Washington most of the season. And you want
to see how he's going to do and get some
kind of positive juice going for the Commanders. And you
don't pull him because it's a it's a blowout, you know,
and you need a little bit of scar tissue in
(09:06):
the NFL, you need that. Unfortunately, the irony is, of course,
it looks like he's going to get actual literal scar
tissue from some kind of medical procedure his shoulder messed
up there. The other issue is that Jaden Daniels, and
this was the argument against him coming out of LSU,
is that he is not designed for professional football, meaning
(09:30):
he's built like a flagpole. He just is. He's a stick.
He's stick like, he's like a stick figure, skin and bones,
and the ard for him as well he'll fill out
his body and he'll get stronger as he gets older.
And maybe he'll be stronger, maybe it'll be fatter. Everyone
gets bigger as they get older, right, whether you get
fat or whatever. And so so you go through it.
And the big question is not so much the dan
(09:55):
quinn decision to get to me, it's the can Jaden
Daniels last in the NFL? Is he built for a flaying,
like a summer flame and not the long term relationship type,
you know what I'm saying, like more for fun, not
the long term. That's the question. And you look at
the guy and he's just built like a couple of
(10:17):
popsicle sticks put together there and optimism and that's not
going to last. It's just not so Again those in
the back of the room, if you're not paying attention
because you're doing something there at the factory or whatever
you're doing driving your truck, that's the argument. This is
this goes with the job. You have to make these
decisions as a coach. And you know, somebody's like dan Quinn,
(10:39):
I don't think it was a reckless call, right, And
it sounds listening between the words that Jayden Daniels went
off the game plan and put himself in harm's way there.
But dan Quinn made a football call, is what he did,
and he got absolutely burned, as it turns out, because
the guy got hurt. And so the magic carpet ride
(11:02):
for the Washington Commanders last year has turned into a
kamikaze mission this year for the Commanders, as they are
just terrible and like one of the great Fluke runs
what they did last year getting to the final four
of the NFL, the NFC Championship game in Philly, and
now you look at him now and they're closer to
getting a top ten pick in the draft the way
(11:23):
they've played this year than they are returning to the
playoffs at this point now Page two. So on the
other side, as we break down the Sunday Night game,
a lot of chatter about Sam Donald, who sliced up
the Commander's secondary on Sunday Night Football a domination situation.
The game was over at halftime. They were actually singing
(11:44):
turnout the last The parties over literally at halftime thirty
one to seven. What's the score at halftime? Donald had
all four of his touchdown passes in the first half
of the game. Who was sixteen for six and then
got another completion to start the second half. Seattle improves
to six and two. Now, Chris Collinsworth, he had the
(12:09):
Seattle Seahawk onesie on on the broadcast. There went in doubt,
slobber chops all over the quarterback. So Collinsworth mentioned Sam
Darnald and saying that Donald should be in the ENVP conversation,
that Sam Donald should be an MVP. Holy fire him
(12:29):
and Ed and all you Jets fans. What are you
talking about?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So the question is it time for us to reevaluate
our long standing position on Sam Donald? Should we reevaluate
the Seattle quarterback Sam Donald and his status as a
Most Valuable Player candidate in the NFL? So on this one,
I'm giving it not side eye. I'm giving it stinky
(12:53):
there's a difference. I'm giving it stink guy here. So
that's all together, now, pump the brakes now as pumped
breaks on that, shall we I'm not there, I'm not there.
I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there now,
Chris Collinsworth, I'm convinced that he's already built a statue,
a shrine to Sam Darnald nobody ballwashers quarterbacks better than
(13:16):
Chris Collinsworth. Can we all agree on that? For a
guy that didn't play quarterback, he was a wide receiver.
My god, maybe we all have someone love us as
much as Sam Donald loves every quarterback and he doesn't
know what to do. He can't criticize anyone. It's wild.
So I'm sure there's a statue somewhere in the greater
(13:37):
Cincinnati area where Collinsworth lives, of him one of the
great ball washers of our time when it comes to quarterbacks.
And so Collinsworth was practically feigning himself in the booth
while talking about Sam Donald, and I would say, I'd
like to quote Aaron Rodgers from years ago. Relax r
(13:58):
E la X Relax, Yes Donald, listen. He was out
there like he was at Lowry's Steakhouse, carving some prime
rib in this game, no question about it. He carved
up the Washington defense, and it looked like the Commander's
defense had done their pregame prep, their warm up at
Buffalo Wild Wings. They had some beer and wings and
(14:20):
went out, let's play some football boys. We'll get some beer,
we'll get some wings. It was thirty one seven again
at a halftime. My god, the game was over right before
Carrie Underwood finished singing. The game had already ended, but
for some reason they kept putting it on television. Listen,
Donald did play like a man possessed in this game.
He did. Congratulations. However, I have a body of work
(14:43):
to base my opinion on. All Right, we've seen this before,
Sam Donald. He did this with the Vikings last year.
How my friends, my friends of Minnesota, the nice Minnesota,
nice people, they can tell you all about Sam Donald. Right,
Sam Dong goes out there and he was absolutely slicing
everybody up last year, like Patrick W. Holmes during the
regular season and then in the late spot regular season
(15:06):
last week against the Lions and then the playoff game
against the Rams in Arizona neutral site because the fires
in La. Well, he went out there and played like
Josh Rosen taking classes at a school in Pennsylvania business class.
It is the Sam Donald roller coaster experience. Sam Donald
is a roller coaster quarterback. It's all gas. There's a
(15:29):
few loop de loops, round and round and round and
round loopy loops, and then face plant, face plant. That's
the Sam Donald roller coaster. The seat belts come unhinge
and you go flying off the roller coaster. Well, that's
a bummer, That is an absolute bumber. Cannot depend on them,
cannot do it, cannot depend on them. Donald is not
(15:50):
and will never be in the bubble of trust. Will
not be in the bubble of trust. And this is
what he does. He fools you, Sam Donald fools you.
He does He plays a demonic level of football in
a game like this, Thread's the needle look like he
was playing against air, just dominating with Jackson Smith and Jigba.
(16:16):
And then the trap door opens up. The trap door
opens up, and then it's falling into Dante's inferno and
Picks seeing ghosts tossing checkdowns on third and fifteen where
you complete the pass for eight yards but you're still
seven yards short of the line to gain, and the
stat sheets shiny and the low information fan gets all horny.
(16:38):
Oh this is great. So as far as the MVP
on my scorecard, which is the only scorecard that matters
because it's the Ben Malor Show, Sam Donald isn't even
honorable mention, is not even honorable mention in the MVP race.
That is a trip to fantasy Land. Is what that is.
Call me when he does it against a big time
opponent late in the season of the player, and then
(17:00):
we can revisit this until that happens. That is my position. Now,
final point high drama in Sinsinati. That's where we go.
Now we're running back. Chase Brown ripped the Bengals defense.
He said, what the f. Now, we're not allow to
(17:21):
say what he actually said because I'll get in trouble.
Mark says he'll punch me if I say that. He said,
what the f finish the effing game. That's the running
back Chase Brown. Now Jamar Chase, Chase and Chase Oh,
he needs Chase Bank. So Jamar Chase was heard as
he was walking off the field in the bowels of
the stadium. And there's a lot of thick bowels there
(17:42):
in Cincinnati. So Jamar Chase was heard yelling one efing
stop again. We can't say the actual word. We're not
allowed to say the actual word. So both those guys,
Chase and Chase ripping him. Now, Jamar Chase was pissed off.
Head of the locker room. The game goes to Chicago
forty was the play of the day. We played it
(18:02):
last hour dramatically, a few seconds to go on the clock,
Caleb Williams touchdown passed to win the game. So the
question Jamar Chase and his partner in crime, running back
Chase Brown, both taking shots at the Cincinnati defense, How
does that strike you? All Right? So I'll go first.
(18:22):
You can chime in if you want. This was obviously
that big fail. It was an epic fail by the
Cincinnati defense. Now, typically, having done this job and I
get to come in here and sit in the cap
bird seat overnight quite a bit. Typically this stuff is
not for public consumption. This is the kind of stuff
that gets whispered behind closed doors and it's like, don't
(18:45):
put my name on it, but here's my opinion. So
you genuinely don't get this in the public theater. The
Bengals defense was so bad. How bad are they? They
were so bad they should be brought up on grand
larceny charges. Okay for that. They were total frauds, total frauds,
and they got paid for that performance. Do you know
(19:06):
that the Chicago Bears offense, I think most even the
Bears fans, it's a middling offense. There's talent there, but
it's a middling offense. The Cincinnati Bengals defense gave off
five hundred and seventy six yards to the Bears. The
Bears almost put up six hundred yards of offense on
the road. On the road, mind you, Now you know
(19:28):
what DA's like. When you see that kind of offense,
you think, you think Kurt Warner greatest show on turf
back in the day. You all don't remember the Rams,
the Saint Louis Rams with Tory Holt and all those
Marshall Falk and all those games. Those are the teams
that would put up that kind of yards. The Bears,
what are we doing? Caleb Williams looked like Josh Allen
(19:50):
in a skills competition for much of that game. There
was no resistance by Cincinnati. There was no pushback, nothing. Now,
if you watched Benny versus the Pending on YouTube last week,
we did take the Chicago Bears. That we got that right.
So whatever, I didn't think it was gonna be anything
like this. I did not imagine that this game would
be as high scoring, and that it would be. It
was ridiculous. Ninety something points just just absolutely ridiculous in
(20:14):
this game. And so this is not some isolated thing.
Though that's the other issue. This is not some isolated thing.
This defense has been the worst in the NFL this season.
The Bengals were number thirty two, they would be thirty third,
but there's only thirty two teams, so the thirty second
team worst defense in the NFL. And so they were
bad coming into this game, and somehow they found a
(20:37):
lower level like we suck, how can we suck more? Okay,
let's give up five hundred and seventy six yards and
then we'll be a super sonic suck. And there they were.
And Zach Taylor has no answers the coach, and he's
not in danger of being fired because that would mean
the Bengals would have to pay him to not coach,
and that's a tight wad franchise. So I'd be shocked
(20:59):
if they fired Zacha Taylor. If you look at Zach Taylor,
he's got no answers. Its finger food is what it
is in Cincinnati, and he's the buffet. Everyone's pointing the
finger at pointing the finger here there tackling terrible right
soft serve. Soft serve defense. Guys were bouncing off the
Bears players like they were playing bumper cars. It was
(21:21):
embarrassing and you could have put a velvet rope and
a couple of scarecrows out there and gotten the same result.
If you're the Cincinnati Bengals on defense, there, Caleb Williams
carved them up and Joe Flacco carved up the Bears.
He had old Man Flacco Elite, Joe Flacco jump ball.
Joe had his first four hundred and seventy plus yard
passing game as he put four hundred and seventy yards
(21:44):
passing him. Never did that with the Ravens or all
the other teams. He's played for four touchdowns and it
still wasn't enough. And to me, that's the story here.
You waste that kind of offensive output where Tie Higgins
gout in the end zone. I believe a couple of
times at both he and Chase went over one hundred
yards and your defense you waste that because your defense
(22:05):
has the backbone of a beach towel. Okay, Zach Taylor's
Bengals are stuck in the mud. They are stuck in
the mud, and the frustration is boiling over right. The
chases are chasing accountability. The problem is nobody on defense
nobody on Defense is catching that bug of accountability. There
(22:29):
is no accountability, and they are doing a lot of
good finger pointing, which is good for talk radio. So
I'm sure that story. We're gonna circle that one and
I'm gonna highlight it, and I have a feeling as
we go through the week there'll be the follow up.
To the follow up. There could be an apology by
one of the Bengal players who called out the defense,
so they'll say it's a heat of the moment. Someone
(22:49):
the lower level could lose their job. The whole thing.

He says, after many years, I have mastered the art
of translating the language of Ben.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Strudina says, what you just said there reading between the lines,
was that he's officially He says, I am officially on
team Darnold and has the Seahawks hat on order. No,
there's no Seahawks hat. Not happy, not happening. Bad job
(25:21):
by you. You might want to go get a new
Rosetta stone because the one you have is not working. Craig,
better known as Crying Craig from Seattle writes in Also
he says, the twenty twenty five Dodgers are my favorite
World Series winning team ever. I cried when they won. Yeah,
there you go, A couple outs away. Blue Jays were
(25:41):
just a couple outs from winning the whole thing. Else,
do we have page down, mister irrigation from Houston right
since says Jaden Daniels is merely experiencing a sophomore bounce.
Everyone knows this man. It was the sophomore slump thing. Okay,
we'll see about that. You can hit us up on
(26:03):
x at Ben Mather if you want, goat man, Rob
says two out of two. On the NFL monologue, the
low information fan complaining about Jade and Daniels playing in
a blowout rightfully said dan Quinn had to try to
get him back on track. It's not his fault. Daniels
is fragile. Bring back the Redskins. Hail to the Redskins.
(26:25):
Hel to Victor read. Yeah, they had the Redskins uniform
style uniforms on in the Sunday Night game. They couldn't
use the logo. However, I was told that the NFL
still has to make that logo available or they lose it.
They have the trademark to the Redskins logo and the name,
so the way trademark law works, and I could be
(26:48):
completely wrong, but I was told by somebody, as I
understand it, they still have to make some of that
stuff available for sale or they'll lose the trademark to
the Redskins name and to the logo. Talk about a
tough sit situation. Let's go to Andrew in Bakersfield, California. Hello, Andrew, Welcome,
It's the Ben Mahler Show. Got mallor to the third
(27:08):
degree coming up? Hello, Andrew.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Oh, is this the Ben Maler Show?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
All right, well thanks thanks.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
For telling me.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
What what a game?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Come on which game? There's a bunch of games that
have been played. I don't know which game you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
I'm not well the Dodgers, my friend. Okay, I normally
call Bernie Foudle yesterday and I was so I was
completely wiped out.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
I couldn't call.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You're too emotional, Yes, very much. I understand that it
was nice. That's the way sports are supposed to be, right, right,
That's that's like perfect does That's why you watch sports?
Is this like you're gonna lose, You're gonna lose, you one,
you're balancing hope and fear.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Right, and they fought, you know, they fought.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, they did something they did they did something they
don't normally do. That's beyond The Dodgers were not a
scrappy team. They weren't. They turned out to me that
the final game. They were a scrappy team. But they
not don't know how. I mean, they hit home runs.
It's not like they had three or four hits and
won the game that way, and they stole a bunch
of bases. They just happened to hit home runs. But
the fact is when they were behind lad in games,
(28:18):
they very rarely came back and won those games. So
they did in this game congratulate they won the World Series.
Did the better team lose the World Series? No, that's
really that's stupid idiot from the terime. We're going to
talk about that next, the guy for the Blue Jays.
The better team did not win. No, because it doesn't matter.
The Blue Jays had better stats. I'll give you that
they had better stats, but they the better team that
(28:40):
went with what else what?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Well?
Speaker 4 (28:43):
No, I wasn't clear in my threat to block you up,
but man, they all I got to say is that's
what I'm talking about. That was fighting and that was great.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You're just saying you really don't have much to say,

Let's go to Andy the comic book guy who's got
his Dodger onesie on right now. Hello, Andy the comic
book guy.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, because Dave, Dave Roberts was Dave
Roberts was such a genius that Dave Roberts, Dave Robberts
was the reason they won. You were so come on,
w amurry. You did an entire segment on Clayton Kershaw. Yes, yes,
who cost them multiple World Series? Clayton Kershaw. Yes, well,
(32:17):
one hundred percent worst postseason pitcher in the history of baseball,
going back to the eighteen eighties, one hundred and forty
years body of work. No one has sucked more than
Clayton Kershaw.

How many of those guys have three World Series in
five seasons?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Okay, so you can get you under it. Okay, So
you men, you So you think Clayton Kershaw, who was
like a dad, bought mascot for the Dodgers in the playoffs? Right,
It's like, I don't think they celebrated Kershaw enough. I
think there need to be one more moment to kiss
his ass. My god, they dug up the mount at
the end of the regular season. They had a shot
(32:58):
of him with his family on the field that after
the last game at Dodger Stadium. Then they had him
running around with his shirt off. He's a freaking maskcot.
He's like, he's like the San Diego Chicken or mister
met that's kershaw Man.

There's no L.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
What is the L?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I could I could have managed the I could have
managed the Dodgers. They would have won. Dave Roberts did
not do anything. He wasn't told. He never went off
the script. He's a robot that his job is to
talk to the media and and suckers like you, Suckers
like you fall for it. You're a sucker.
Speaker 4 (33:32):

collided in the outfield.

Yes, clown nose, buddy, I love you, but he's given
you a clown No.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
There's no clown nose. If you are completely wrong, you
don't even understand how wrong you are. You don't realize
how wrong this take is. You Doe.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
You're talking to yourself.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Now, this is how mad you've gone.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
It's not about being met. Listen, you you're a Dodger
fan boy. I get it. I like the Dodgers, but
I am unlike you. I'm willing to I'm willing to
call out there. I'm willing to call their bull crap out.
You're not.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
I asked questions.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
No, you're not allowed to ask him a question. Why
would you want to ask him a question?
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Clearly I need I want to ask a couple of questions. Coop.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I remember you saying a long time ago that if
Tani became a Dodger you would be very, very sad.

How do you feel.

and win back, Well, I think it's great. Yeah. I
had had an amazing, you know performance. I had an
ERA of over seven in the World Series. It was
so so dominant. I mean, my god, Blake Snell had
an ERA of six point nine two. The team batted
(34:53):
two hundred in the World Series. David, but Dave Roberts
did a hell of a job. My god.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Yeah, he had to manage.
Speaker 7 (34:59):
Because all the like usual became icicle.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
But why would they become ice school. I thought I
thought Dave Roberts would motivate them to hit. I thought
Roberts was a great manager. Why, I mean great manager.

comic book. It is the Baine Malord Show. As we
pressed on, we're gonna have Mallardly third degree that is
right around on the corner. And we'll push back the

Bruce Coslet, Here we go here, how about that third degree?
Speaker 5 (38:39):
This is one big Ben gets cracked.
Speaker 8 (38:43):
Then, after the Blue Jays World Series loss, Max Scherzer
said he is not going to retire. He can't imagine
that being his last pitch he's ever thrown. Yeah, he
didn't have a good regular season. Do you think there's
gonna be a lot of desire from ex Scherzer?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah. Yeah, he'll sign with somebody like who thinks they
can squeeze out half a season. He'll take half the
year off like he did this year in Toronto and
suck and then somebody said, well he's got that playoff pedigree.
How'd that work out? In Game seven next.
Speaker 8 (39:07):
Cooper Flagg addressed his tough start in this league. He
said it's a tough league, and he said he doesn't
think it's anything that anybody should be worried about. Ben,
do you think they should be worried about it? Or
is this more of like a bad situation type.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Well, when you're the number one pick in the draft,
you're supposed to come out guns of blazing. He has
not come out guns of blazing here. So it's too
soon to completely say the sky is falling for Cooper Flagg.
Obviously him, He's only played a few games in the
NBA the season. No one's really paying attention to the
NBA that much, but the numbers are not good, and
he just doesn't look like he's got a higher level,
(39:40):
which is problematic. I have not seen it, so I
haven't watched too many Maverick games. When I have, I've
not been over the impressed.
Speaker 8 (39:45):
Next Texas Longhorns have won four games in a row.
Archie Manning had his breakout game this past weekend. One
ESPN analyst even said he's played his way back into
the Heisman conversation. I was gonna ask if you think
that's true, but I think I know the answer.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Listen, there's a lot of people that want it. They
don't want to die on that. Manning's a heisman, he's
not a candidating Please cool, Come on, how did we do?
Speaker 4 (40:08):
All right?
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's bad. Let the take go. Come on, let the
take go.
