Speaker 1 (00:00):
How about them Cowboys. It's our number two, our number
two and the big trade outside of Saustguard. We covered
that in our one. In our two, did Jerry Jones
finally nail a big trade? He got Jets defensive tackle
Quinnon Williams in a deadline splash move? Or is this

(00:22):
just another Cowboys overpay giving up a future first round
pick and some other draft picks in that trade. Also,
what does former Saints wide receiver Rashid Shahid do for
the Seahawks? He was traded in a transaction that took
place right at the deadline. Also, what's the big takeaway
from wide receiver Jacoby Myers going from Vegas to Jacksonville.

(00:46):
Talk about that as well. Settle in and here it
is our number two. You go to the rodeo and
every once in a while you gotta lasso up a
big one. We come in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere,

(01:08):
blathering in the night as we know that cat won't
jump at all, not gonna happen. Coast to coast, border,

(02:53):
what about the DraftKings. Well, Lucky Tony, it's good for
you and Ferg Dog and Alf. This show is sponsored
by DraftKings sports Book, unofficial sports betting partner of the NFL,
and and b A. Right now, use promo code Maller
it's my last name m a l l e R
to claim you're a special offer at DraftKings. Again. The
promo code is Malard m a l l e R.

(03:15):
At DraftKings the crown is yours. Wow, I know, all right,
A lot to get to if you want. With this
last diar, you might have been covered up by some
other programming, but you can always go back and hear
the podcast. We talked about the Sauce Gartner trade from
the Cowboys of the Colts. We will not revisit that here.
Instead we will turn the page and go to Dallas.

(03:38):
How about them Cowboys? Jerry Jones and the Cowboys A
man of his word, Jerry said on Monday that there
was a trade that had been worked out. They just
hadn't announced it yet. Cowboys technically made two trades, but
one of them we're not going to talk about. We're
going to talk about the other one. This after they
got molly wopped by the Cardinals. Do you know embarrassed?

(04:00):
This is get molly wopped by the Arizona Cardinals. The
Cardinals are one of those spam teams for the good
teams to play. You're not supposed to lose to a
spam team, but here we are. So Jerry said he
would get a deal done, and Jerry's a man of
his word. All right, man, it was worse if you
didn't hear. Maybe not. The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a

(04:20):
second blockbuster trade in barely a couple of months here,
as they might remember the Micah Parsons trade to the
Green Bay Packers for a bunch of scratcher tickets. Well,
the Cowboys said, we have too many scratcher tickets. We
don't need all these scratcher tickets. We don't want all
these scratcher tickets. So they have now a They've traded
some of their own draft picks in order to get

(04:43):
defensive tackle Quinn Williams from the j e Ts. Suck, Suck, suck.
The Jets have announced they're going out of business. Everything
must go. It's a liquidation sale. And so the Cowboys
acquired Quinn Williams from the Jets, all pro defensive tackle
for a gaggle, a gaggle of draft picks, including a

(05:03):
twenty six second round pick. Oh my god, they gave
up a second round pick and a twenty twenty seven
first round pick. Oh no, another draft pick. Boo hoo hoo. Yeah.
So a few hours earlier, on trade deadline Day, Dallas
also acquired a linebacker from the Bengals because they said, Hey,

(05:24):
cincinnat is the only team worse than us defensively, so
why don't we trade for one of their guys. That's
not a name, so we won't worry about that. Instead,
we focus on the big name. You have to focus
on the big name. So that is a good jumping
off point. Let us discuss the question, did Jerry Jones
finally after all these years, did Jerry Jones finally nail

(05:45):
the trade deadline? Did he make the big splash, the
proper splash at the deadline here? Or is this another
cowboy overpay. So keep in mind the early read from
Joe schmaw is wholly overpay Batman. That's the world on
the streets. So on this one, I've got Bubblegum, Amazon

(06:06):
and beach front bungalow, and we'll combine all of these
things together and we're gonna make a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich, the perfect sandwich with lots of jelly and
lots of peanut butter. You put on one side, you
put the peanut butter. On the other side, you put
the jelly, and then they come together and they have
a delicious baby called the peanut butter and jelly Sandwich.

(06:28):
It's just wonderful. So number one, I'm gonna call this
on the Mallard score card, the Malor score card. A
splish splash trade, a splish splash trade. Now the scales
are leading, I'm going in favor. I'm going against the
mob because the mob's always wrong, and I'm gonna stand

(06:49):
with my guy, Jerry Jones. Good job by you, Jerry.
I support Jerry's world on this one. Now, some Dallas
fans are panicked just like the Jets fans. I can't
believe we gave up these draft picks. Oh my god,
get a life, you loser. That's what I have to say. Listen,
you should be happy. This is a celebratory moment. You
should a good trade. How often do I say the

(07:12):
Cowboys made a good move. This is a good move.
F them becks. F them becks, That's what I say.
And finally, teams like the Jets and the Well not
the Jets, the Colts and the Cowboys. These teams are
doing what they should be doing. Who cares about draft picks?
Draft picks are losers. You're always gonna be a loser

(07:32):
with your stupid little draft picks. The same teams are
at the top of the draft every year because they suck.
They're terrible, and you idiots fall for this scam, this hustle.
So I'm glad that Jerry did this. Now the Kebbo's
still plenty of draft picks even with this trade. It's
it's a zero sum game, essentially. Traded Micah Parsons because
he was He was a doge and his agent was
a doge, and Jerry didn't want to deal with him.

(07:53):
He's like out on the team. I'm worth a gazillion dollars.
I don't deal. You're you're an a hole. I'm gonna
send you to northern Wisconsin and yourself. I hope you
have woolf socks. Good luck. And so that's it. And
Jerry Jones, the old oil baron, he's an oil baron here,
and he finally did something possive the Cowboys a couple
of years ago. It's been a few years. They traded

(08:14):
for a wide receiver, Amari Cooper. Pretty good player, not
a great player, pretty good player. There's a splash move.
This is a splash move also, and so he found
himself some glory hole. And we are not circumcising the
mosquito when we break this trade down at all. Quinn
Williams is the whole Enchilada, just what they need on

(08:36):
defense and perfect slide him right in. And so when
you look at the Cowboys now defensively upfront, they're still
not great. They have improved dramatically after the trade deadline,
and that's why you have the trade deadline to improve
the roster. And so you look at it the Cowboy defense,
which has been absolute swiss cheese since they shipped out

(08:57):
Micah Parsons and the guys that were giving out opportunities.
What a great opportunity to make a name for yourself
in the NFL, and these guys have all proved they suck, right,
I mean, it's so embarrassing for these guys. What a
great opportunity of make a name for yourself in the NFL,
and these guys have been abject failures across the board.
So now they have a new opportunity with new players
here and side by side, right, Jerry's been sitting on

(09:20):
draft picks. Keways very rarely make traits like this. They
just don't. That's not what they do here, And they
sit on these draft picks like they're sitting on gold bars, right,
gold bars. Meanwhile, the defense ranked thirty first in the NFL.
Only the Bengals had a worse defense so far this year.
And so to me, it makes sense you brought in
a big time force at his position on defense, and

(09:46):
Quinn Williams is not only the whole Enchilada, he's built
like a tank. So good for him. And Jerry's going
with the old bubble gum mantra here, the bubble gum philosophy.
Know what does that mean? Double mintgum, double your pleasure,
double your fun because you put Williams in there in
the middle. You put Quinn Williams in there, and you

(10:07):
put him right there, plug him next to Kenny Clark,
who you got in the Micah Parsons trade from Green Bay,
and suddenly that should make things easier on the rest
of the defense. The trickled down economics of defensive football
where your linebackers don't look like they're running in quicksand
because the two guys up front are doing their job,

(10:29):
and then makes it easier on everyone across the board.
So for once, the Cowboys are not chasing some shiny
white out or a running back or some other skill guy.
They went out there and they bought themselves some trench warfare,
which is good. That is a good thing. Could this
go sideways? Could Quinn Williams go out in his first

(10:49):
game and break his ankle and be out for the
you're sure could happen. Could happen. You can't run a
team that way and say, oh my god, this could happen.
That could happen. Oh the worst thing in the world,
Oh my god, that first round draft picks is gonna
come out and bite us in the ass. In a
couple years. Who cares about that. I didn't worry about
that regard compared to the usual just draft and develop nonsense,

(11:12):
which is what the Cowboys have been doing here. They've
been feeding that slop to their fans for a number
of years. It hasn't worked. I'm gonna take this, and
I'm not a Cowboy fan. But Jerry Jones is eighty three.
God bless him. His face is only about thirty, but
the rest of him is eighty three years old. So
Jerry's in his eighties. He's not building a team for

(11:33):
twenty thirty. He's not planning well. I hope the team's
good when I'm eighty eight years old. No, by then, Jerry,
if he's lucky, he will be living at leisure World. Okay,
I mean, so what are we doing here? He didn't
overthink this one. The defense was a white hot tire fire.

(11:54):
They brought in an all pro fire extinguisher. That's what
this guy is right. So that's why I call it
a splish splash success for the Dallas Cowboys on this trade.
I don't care about draft picks. You can love your
draft picks. I'm over it. I'm done. I've seen way
too many of these guys. Can't miss guys that suck.
If you don't believe me, go watch Trevor Lawrence play football.

(12:17):
He blows. Oh, but he was a generational player. Can't
miss quarterback Trevor Lawrence until he actually had to play
for Jacksonville and now he's a coach. Killer. Can't play.
Guy sucks. Guy stinks, all right. So anyway, turning the
page on that to Seattle, we had other moves, not
just the Cowboys, other moves. Saints said bye bye. They

(12:40):
traded wide receiver and returned specialist Rashid Shaid to the
Seahawks in exchange for a fourth round draft pick and
a twenty twenty six fifth round draft pick. So question
for the esteem panel, what does for now former Saints
wide receiver Rashid Shahid do for the Seattle Seahawks offense

(13:04):
as he heads to the Great Pacific Northwest to hang
out with sasquatch and drink coffee. So, Mike McDonald, who
doesn't have that much influence on the player movement, but
I'll just use him as the coach and so I'll
use him as a reverence the Seahawks. What they did
here on this trade is they went down to the
Amazon liquidation warehouse. They went down to the Amazon liquidation

(13:26):
warehouse and they were rummaging, and they're like, well, we
don't want to make a big trade for aj Brown
or jaylen Waddle. We're not going to make that big
a move. But somehow they found themselves a brand new
iPhone still in the box which wasn't even opened, Like
what are the odds of that? And so hey, this

(13:48):
is not a scrub. He's not a top guy. He's
in the middle, the man in the middle. He's got
legit big time speed as a Shahid runs a four
point three. So if you want him in track and
field for the Olympics, which is coming up in a
couple of years, you can get him out there and
put him in the Olympics. That's fine, uh, and so good.
He's got he's got a you know, speed to burn,

(14:09):
basically a turbo charger for Sam Donald. And of course
Sam Donald's like a used Honda Civic putting up numbers
which are not sustainable for the Seattle Seahawks here and
so no Sredinis knows that. But really that's the only
issue to me, The only issue with this trade is
much like the Colts trying to double down on Daniel Jones.

(14:31):
Sam Donald's the guy who has the check engine light on,
but he does it this year. He's an MVP candidate. Okay,
we'll see what happens. It's only a matter of time.
It's only amount of time. You're gonna have to call
it tow truck because he'll be pulled over on I
five there on the side of the road with his
flashing lights on. The emergency lights will be flashing and
all that stuff. But regardless, Seattle got in theory a

(14:53):
dynamic playmaker. Again, it's the trickle down, much like the
Cowboys makes other players better. And for Seattle, you look
at their depth chart and they've got Jackson Smith and
Jigba the crown Jewel having that breakout season. He's there,
Puka Nakour there there, Jamar Chase, that big time receiver,
and then you put behind him. You've now got Shaid

(15:17):
and you put him out there, Tory Horton, and you
still have the often injured, almost always injured Cooper Cup
who inevitably will have another big injuries out right now.
He's supposed to come back soon and all this stuff.
So it's like adding a shot of caffeine, nice big
shot of caffeine, and you've already already got a pretty

(15:39):
shaky hand because you're drinking that really powerful gas station coffee,
really powerful stuff. And so a little bit of a
caffeine buzz going. You got that going for you, and
just don't expect it to taste too good for too long,
you know what I'm saying. So the Malor report card
on the Seattle New Orleans trade, I'm gonna give the
Seattle Seahawks on the Malard report card and a plus.

(16:00):
That's right, and they give up nothing. Who cares about
a mid round traffic for a player that can help
them right now, that's an eight plus trade. The Saints
they get the D. They get the D because they
have maybe three or four players that are any good
on the team. They just traded one of them away,
So good luck, but we'll suck more and we're going
to a higher draftic. Okay, good congratulations. So Seattle adds speed.

(16:22):
They have a guy that can put out there on
the special teams as well, and they got someone who's
a proven somewhat I don't want to say fully proven,
but a somewhat proven commodity, and they got that, and guy,
it can be a couple times a game break the
game open, explosive chunk plays, which is what you're looking for,

(16:43):
and a little red bull on cleats, which is not bad.
And if Darnold can just stay out of his own
way and not get tackled by the Boogeyman the Boogeyman,
then Seattle can can make some magic. I'm not betting
on that, I would bet against that. I'm just saying
there is a dimension in the multiverse where that does happen.

(17:04):
So that's the ultimate what about ism? What about this?
What about that? What about? What about? What about? What about?
What about? What about? What about? What about?

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
All right, so uh turning on, turning the page again. Sam.
Just for the record, Sam on my Nauty list until
he's off the nautil list. Very rarely do you get
off the nauty liist. He's on the Nauticalist all right. Now,
moving on final point to Jacksonville. We go to Jacksonville
where the Jags made the trade with the Raiders. The
Raiders said, n a Lona, not a lolla, goodbye. They

(17:37):
traded away. Jacoby Myers sounds like an ambulance chasing law firm.
Jacoby Myers traded away to the Jaguars. That's right, So
a couple of mid round draft picks exchange there, the
Raiders get a couple of filler draft picks, and Jacksonville
gets the player. Question, what is the big takeaway from

(17:59):
right wide receiver Jacoby Myers going from Vegas to Jacksonville.
Keep in mind, we've talked about Jacoby Myers a couple
of times. His name has been in the echo chamber.
We've discussed his situation. He was not happy with the Raiders.
To me, the big takeaway with Jacoby Myers is be
careful what you wish for. Be careful what you wish for.

(18:21):
So he was pretty open about the fact he didn't
want to play for the Raiders anymore. Why would you?
The Raiders are embarrassment. You don't want to play there anymore.
But Jacoby Myers spent half the summer whining because he
wanted out. Clearly realized that Geno Smith is a fraud
at a quarter As a quarterback, if I'm going to
be on a bad team, I'd rather be on a
bad team and a better quarterback than that. And so

(18:42):
he was unhappy with Geno Smith that if you're happy
with your quarterback and you know it, you don't ask
for a trade. If you're happy with your quarterback and
you know it, you don't ask for a trade. He
asked for a trade. So there's that, and so he
complained and all that stuff. And so he thought, he assumed,
he assumed that he was going to go to a
team like his old team, the Patriots, the Steelers, somebody
who's at least a mid level contender, like at least

(19:05):
a mid level contender and all that. Instead he was
given a one way ticket, Jacobe Myers, a one way
ticket on the Siberian Express Jacksonville, Duvall County. Yeah, that's
that's fun. Why not good times? Also for football, it's

(19:26):
in that camp of Siberia. It's like Siberia beachfront Bungalows.
It's Siberia with beachfront Balo Bungalows. Is what a better weather?
So there you go, you go there in your career
pretty much vanishes, that's it. And so Myers, who has
been reliable, he has been reliable. He has only dropped

(19:48):
four passes, I believe in three seasons. That seems pretty good.
I didn't play in the NFL off to check with
Ryan Clark, but I think that's pretty good. So three,
three seasons, four drop passes. If my mave math is correct,
and he's about to find himself in a whole new world.
As Jacoby Myers walks into Jacksonville where Trevor checked down,
Lawrence is the quarterback. Good old Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence,

(20:11):
if you're keeping track at home, Jacksonville leads the entire
NFL and drop passes. There is no quarterback that has
had more of his passes dropped than Trevor Lawrence. Now
there's an assumption, well, that's the receiver's fault. They don't
have good receivers. Much like sacks. I don't have time
to get into this now, but a lot of the
sacks are because of malfeasan's by the quarterback. They don't

(20:33):
get rid of the ball fast enough. They hold the
ball too long. It's hot potato, get rid of the ball.
They don't do that. Bad job by them well, also
dropped passes, if the throw by Trevor Lawrence is too
high or behind the receiver, it will look like a
drop pass in the box score, when really it was
in competence by the quarterback. So congratulations to Jacoby Myers.

(20:55):
You complained, you got your wish. You crow barred your
way out of lost wages Nevada, and you went to
the Harry Reid Airport, got on a plane and went
to Jacksonville. And now you're gonna be playing your home
games in front of a swimming pool in roughly ten
thousand empty seats. Good luck, they're teal seats, so they
look good. The teal seats are pretty nice. Those are

(21:17):
good to look at, right, they're not bad. There you go.
So the Raiders meanwhile traded a known commodity, traded a
known commodity for roster spam a couple of mid round
draft picks, fourth and sixth round pick. The chances of
either one of those picks being as good as Jacobe
Myers is right now slim and none. And as the
line goes, none has has gone off the reservation and

(21:40):
has left the building. There, So the Raiders continue to
be like a toilet, a clogged toilet, and Tom Brady
does not own a plunger. There you go, all right,
is the Ben Mahler show. If you'd like to be part,
we have one line open eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three
six nine. We're here all night, every single night. We

(22:02):
thank you for listening live, We thank you for listening
to the podcast, the whole thing. So we started this
top of the hour mile of monologue by pointing out
that the Dallas Cowboys had made a trade with the
Jets to get the big defensive tackle Quinn Williams, former
Abama Crimson Tide. Remember, we've been toiling with the Jets
and made the All Pro Team as a Jet. So

(22:25):
we're gonna go down memory lane. We are going to
celebrate the single greatest moment of Quinn Williams career as
a Jet. It's one of the great moments in recent
NFL history. I remember talking about it at the time
it happened. It's been a few years, but we're gonna celebrate.
Since he will never play for the Jets again, very
unlikely he goes back to the Jets, Quinn Williams, we

(22:45):
will celebrate the amazing, amazing highlight, one of the great
highlights in NFL history. We'll get to that and we will.

Speaker 3 (22:53):

We'll Coop show up to work on Thursday. If the
Broncos lose to the Raiders, that ain't happening. Remember if

(24:45):
you're only a couple of ACL injuries away from losing
the Raiders. All right, anyway, Uh, Bronco fan, that's a
Bronco fan and back to it. Trucker Joe writes in,
and he's on the highways and byways of North America.
We have such a great group of truck drivers that

(25:06):
have been with the show for a long time. Some
of you guys have retired, a lot of you other
guys are still hanging on. Trucker Joe says. So the
Cowboys traded Michaeh Parsons and in return got two defensive
tackles and a linebacker. Gave the Jets, the picks they
got from the packers. Seems like a sideways move a

(25:28):
little bit. Nove they traded their own their own own pigs.
It doesn't Jerry Jones didn't like Michah Parsons. It didn't
like Michael Parson's agent. Generally, how that goes. If you
don't like the agent and the player, you get rid
of them. That's it.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Texas Brain rights in and says, hey, Ben, were you
the guy that voiced those cheesy movie trailers from the nineties?
Damn right, Come on, man, when you think cheesy, you
think Ben mal you do Late Late extra cheesy, extra
cheesy goodness. Late Night Drug Testers, did any of the
trades today add any extra handicapping work for you on

(26:05):
this week's episode of Benny Versus Benny. Yeah, Well, certainly
the sauce Gardner things big, and in terms of the
actual points spread, I don't think it changes too much.
Although some of these bad teams are they going to
show up at all? You know, you got to get
in the mental part of it, Late Night Drug Tester,
because that's a big part of it. You put an
honest effort out Like the minnesot I'll give example, the

(26:27):
Minnesota Vikings absolutely did not show up to the game
against the Chargers. They didn't want to play. They just
went through the motions, they got their asking like and
it's very difficult. You don't know when teams are going
to play like that. And every team has a game
like that at least one. Bad teams have two or three,
and so that's a bit of the problem. Now there
is a cosmic event. What is the cosmic event. Well,

(26:47):
let's go now to our astrology insider and we go
to Berkeley, Northern California. She's got the star charts out right. Now.
If you to the heavens, you will notice something emanating
from the sky that has a very powerful force field

(27:08):
on everyone on Earth. Andrea welcoming, very.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Nice introduction, Ben, how are you?

Speaker 1 (27:14):
If I was any better, I would be the moon.
But not this moon, because what moon is it?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
The full beaver moon.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
The beaver moon has arrived, the beaver leave it to
the beaver moon. Yes, that's right, the beaver moon.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yes, so we have the beaver moon.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Nice, that's what they said on television.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yes, and in taurists scorpios we're in scorpio season, so
shout out to Lorena and Coop Scorpio. Time of year,
full of moon in Scorpio.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
What was that? That was coopshrying to sound cool.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, that said, it's really quite a
potent full moon. If you see her up in the sky,
it's really very nice to see that energy, and you
know it's a full moon. But here's the thing, Ben
that said, November ninth, a few days from now till

(28:20):
the twenty ninth, Mercury retrogrades. So I want to let
you know and let your listeners know, especially since it's
around Thanksgiving time as well, to double check all communications
and you know, allow extra time for travel. So basically,
the full moon's a more emotional time. And I was

(28:41):
actually going to get some dental work done and I said, no,
not on the full moon. There can be more bleeding.
And I'm having an MRI on my back on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh my god, you're falling apart. We need to help you.
How can we help you? My God, Please put you
back together. Put somebody put her back together.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Oh there you go, And maybe I'll another go fund me.
But it's good to know you want to get something
done before Mercury retrograde, and the last thing you want
to do is like redo and to work or redo
an mri. I. So this is a hectic week, so
I wanted to put in a call before it gets
even more hectic and wish everyone happy. Full supermoon. Supermoon

(29:20):
means it's closest to the Earth, so that's kind of
rare in its own way.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Well, I always like the full moon gives me something
nice to look at on the way home. And also
in addition to that, we get crazier phone calls. So
remember you notice that, Yeah, we have noticed the Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Because I hear you say once to more like it.
Let's be the full moon be an entertaining week ahead
because it peaks tomorrow in the morning, and then remember
you feel it two days before the day of and
two days after.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's right, it's a whole it's a whole week. It's
a whole whole event. Sounds like a hangover from the
movie Buddy the that's a big one. Nah, Yeah, that's
the beaver moon right there. All right, Well, Andrea, thank
you so much. Feel better, take care of yourself. Yeah,
all right, thank you, all right, be well, our fraid
our friend Andrea there in Berkeley at beaver Moon. Well,

(30:15):
this is one of the great highlights in recent Jets history.
We've got the audio on it. So the Jets made
the trade. They said goodbye to Sauce Gardner. They sent
him to the Colts and Quinn Williams, big lovable, teddy
bear of a guy. Let's go down memory lane and
celebrate the greatest moment in Quinn Williams's career. We have
the highlight of it. We have a little audio we're
gonna play. So it goes back to training camp for

(30:38):
the New York Jets. This goes back to August of
twenty nineteen, way back six years ago, over six years ago,
and Quinn Williams became a Jets legend.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
Take a listen, ready, my rida, I got an eight
year old tim the team. So I'm gonna go play
with myself today. So see how I feel that came out?

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Weird?

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Man?

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Don't play what say man?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
All right? So yeah, I think we need to play
that again. So Quinna Williams, he was with the Jets,
this is twenty twenty nineteen, and he was very excited
about the Madden Game that he got his hands on.
And he wanted everyone to know that he had a
plan to play the Madden Game and it didn't quite
come out right.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
Ready, my Rida, I got an eight or ultimate team.
So I'm gonna go play with myself today. See how
I feel that came out weird?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
All right, that's a quality. Oh yeah, you all have
a bigger it's hard to stay. He's gonna have a
bigger stage. But the Cowboys get more attention to the Jets.
Let's go to the Beast of the East in Rochester. Hello,
Beast of the East, Welcome. We're going into Beast mode
right now, is what we're doing.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
That's good, That's that's what I need to do. But
this trade with the Jets, I'm old enough to remember
the worst trade in NFL history, the most lap side
of trade. I'm siding with the Jets on this one
only because two first rounds, two second rounds for the
next two years, plus their own picks. Do you remember

(32:20):
the most lap side of trade in history where the
draft picks worked out well?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yet? Although that's a little miss. So you're talking about
the MTT Smith trade, right You're talking about that are
the Hersal Walkers trade, which the Cowboys built into the nineties.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
I mean, the Cowboys got three first rounds and three
seconds and they already had Troy Aiightman, maybe Mt. Smith
they got or Urban they got all their line Larry
Allen and those guys they got, They got all kinds
of people. That's what's gone. And you know what happened
to the Vikings. Nothing And the guy who made that trade,

(32:57):
my friend went to a mental asylum. Third he got
out of football. Mike Linn was his name GM for
the Vikings at the time, and then he died. But
to me sign up draft pass, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
That's quite quite the delivery beasts. Now let's go back
one of my favorite traits. Do you remember July of
twenty twenty? What the Jets did that in July of
twenty twenty. Do you remember that?

Speaker 6 (33:23):
You'll remind me. It might be a the Sam Donold thing.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
No, no, no, no. They traded a player named Jamal
Adams to the Seattle Seahawks in July of twenty twenty.
They got multiple first round draft picks in exchange. They
also got a third round draft pick and a safety
from Seattle. And I was on the radio and took
calls in July of twenty twenty from people just like

(33:49):
you missed the Beast of the East there who told
me a very similar thing to what you just told
me that, oh my god, two first round draft picks,
it's going to be so good, it's going to be amazing.
How's that working out?

Speaker 6 (34:05):
Well, you're right on that one. But now that now
they're reloaded to first two seconds, that's their own you
know what the problem has been. They don't have anybody
in the front off or smart enough to know what
to do with the picks.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Well, that's what that's But that's my point. I mean,
that's what That's what I've been saying, Like, that's my argument.
So why would you bother training for multiple draft picks.
You don't know what you're doing. And even if you
know what you're doing, even if you know what you're doing,
you still often end up screwing it up. For example,
the picks. I went back and I looked the Jets
and the Seahawks trade. The first round pick in twenty

(34:39):
twenty one was Christian Darisol. He was drafted by the Jets.

Speaker 6 (34:46):
Okay, left hack in the.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Fight, I gotcha, And but then and Garrett Wilson, who's
fine and whatever. But these are not like game changing players.
They're not Garrett Wilson the Jet. The way the Jets
fans talk about him, you'd think he's Jamar Chase.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
He's not so derrissalt and all pro, but he always
gets hurt. He's the reason that Sam Donald got crushed
last year in the game against Detroit because he wasn't
in it the left hack.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (35:14):
Nobody stays healthy.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Well generally that's true in football. Yeah, yeah, what one
more thing.

Speaker 6 (35:21):
I want to say about the early picks that you
think flop a lot, and maybe they do. But I
remember when there was only three good quarterbacks in the
league pretty much, and that was Peyton, Manning, Brady and Rogers.
He's first and second round picks that came the quarterbacks with.
There's a whole bunch of good quarterbacks in the league now,
which makes me a lot happier because I think it's

(35:43):
the league's better for it.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, I don't think there's that many good corporas. So
there's guys a good good fantasy numbers that give the
illusion that they're good, but they're not actually good. They
choking big games like Justin Herbert's a great example guys.
One of the worst big game quarterbacks. People love him.
Chris Collinsworth licks his toes and all he sucks the
bum right, all right in big games he's a bum,
but everyone kisses his ass. He puts up empty stats,
empty calories. There's a bunch of guys like that that

(36:06):
put up empty calories. I don't think they're particularly good anyway.
Mallard of the thirty three. Here's the instant trivia though.
First Scott player who that's a football player played for
the Cardinals and the Browns. He was the last NFL

a blank. That's the insta trivia. The answer. We'll get

(36:27):
to it. We'll do it next.

Our guy Doc Dan says the last NFL player to
wear a onesie from the Doc in Minnesota, a chain
from King Roy. What say you have a rain up,
a bowlow tie, bolo tie? I have a bowlow tie. No,
it's in correct, a single bar face mask. It's one bar,

(38:12):
one bar, one bar. He could do that because he
was a punter. It's maller. How about that to the
third degree.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.

Speaker 7 (38:26):
So the Chargers are six and three and in second
place in the FC West, but the vibe among Chargers
fans don't really match the team's record. They struggled against
the lowly Titans last Sunday, and they also lost uh
left tackle Joe Ault for the season. Ben is Herbert
good enough to keep the Chargers afloat amid all their injuries.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Well, he did make a trade for an offensive lineman
I've never heard of who was apparently drafted in the
first round, Trevor Penning from New Orleans, and the Chargers
will be in the mix. I wouldn't bet on him.
I'm not a big Trevor Lawrence or a Trevor Lawrence
A a fan of the quarterback who you know. You
look at the play of Justin Herbert and he's been

(39:06):
very shaky. So I am not a believer.

Speaker 7 (39:10):
Next, after a disappointing twenty twenty five season, a lot
of people expected to shake up in the Braves clubhouse. Instead,
the team is hired Walt Weiss, who has been the
team's hitting coach since twenty eighteen, to be the new manager.
Then you think this is a big mistake for Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I don't think it matters. He's a little bit younger,
actually a lot younger than the last guy. A snicker.
And you just have to make sure that Ronald Lacuno
Junior likes you and the other star players on the
Atlanta Bridgs, because as far as the meat and potatoes
of managing the Atlanta Braves, that's done just like all
these other teams by the Nerds day to day during
the season. So you pretty much have to talk to
the media and you have to make sure that the

(39:46):
star players like you. If you do those two things,
Walt Weiss will be fine as the manager in Atlanta next.

Speaker 7 (39:53):
MLB revealed the finalist for major awards on Monday. Tiger's
pitcher Tarik Skooble is favored to win his second straight
AlSi Young Award. The Red Soize feedom Garrett Crochet is
in the running after winning eighteen games and leading the
league in strikeouts with two hundred and fifty five.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Do you think he has a chance, Well, he's in
the running, but no school's gonna win the Cy Young Award.
He's the top pitcher in the American League. He's gonna
take home the title.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
There.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
It is madeley of the third degree. How do we die?
You passed as a buzzer, passed it, passed it
