It's our number two, our number two, and it hurts
so good, Jalen Hurts, refusing to give a straight answer.
That's the quarterback in Philadelphia, refusing to give a straight
answer when asked if he wanted to run the ball
less this season, even though the numbers indicate that is
the case. What do you read into this? And did
(00:22):
Darius Slay do the Buffalo Bill's dirty He was picked
up off waivers from Pittsburgh. The Bills got rid of
another player to add him, and Slay said, psych eh,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Know if I want to go to Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
But here's our number two.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It hurts so so good, unless it doesn't hurt all
that good. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere
as we are side by side. This is one of
(01:26):
those nights right next door as we give you a
savory special coast to coast, border to border and beyond

(02:45):
game on Thursday night, goes to the Detroit Lions. They
get a two touchdown win. The Dallas Cowboys look good
for a couple of weeks. They beat the Eagles, they
beat the Chiefs, and now a.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Ice bucket right to the face.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Right to the face for the Dallas was But that
is not our lead story this hour. Instead, we go
to Philadelphia and there are multiple reports suggesting that one
of the issues that the Philadelphia Eagles have had this
year is that quarterback Jalen Hurts has wanted to run
the ball less this season and because of injuries he's
(03:22):
sustained while running the football in recent years.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Hoey saw this or not, maybe maybe you missed it.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So when asked if these reports were true, Hurt said, quote,
I've always been focused on doing whatever it takes to win,
and I've always put my energy trying to bring the
game plan and the strategy that week, he said to life.
So I'll continue to do that. Close quote that was
(03:48):
a whole lot of nothing.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Then earlier this week. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was also
asked if Jalen hurts rushing numbers have dipped because he
wants to run the ball, And what do you think
Sirianni did? Do you think Sirianni A said, that's absolutely correct.
Jalen Hurts does not want to injure himself. He's a
wooss B no comment or C. That's preposterous. Well, Sirianni
(04:15):
did not answer the question either, so he deflected. He deflected,
So neither Jalen Hurts or Nick Sirianni would confirm or deny.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That Jalen Hurts wants to run the ball.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
They did the run around the rosie is what they did,
So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question. Jalen Hurts based on reports out of Philly,
refusing to give a straight answer that part's not a report.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
A report was he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Want to run the ball as much and he's asked
the Eagles to not have him run as much. So
Jalen Hurts refusing to give a straight answer when asked
if he wanted to run the ball less this season.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So what do you read into this? What do you
read into this.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So my observations on this, I've got tiny house, living peekaboo,
expired trimp. Those are the things I have, and I
will put them all together and we will unscramble. What
that means, we will unscramble. And those things have never
been put together. They've never been put together quite like that.
You're not gonna hear that anywhere else, anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So number one, Jalen Hurts gets asked a simple question
and suddenly he decides he's at a Wetzel's Pretzels and
he does like a pretzel yoga type thing.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It was like an old school Gumby routine, is what
it was. From Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The man twisted himself into shapes that we didn't know
existed in the human handbook.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And that, to me says everything. So we'd like to say, Dad,
give what? Give what? It's the classic non answer answer.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now, there was a guy that I became decent friends
with near near the end of his life, the great TJ.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Seimers.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
TJ was a columnist back when newspapers mattered, and it
was a talk show host and just a.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Real flamethrower of a man and TJ explained to me.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So you know, as a columnist, Ben, I'll go into
the locker room and I will ask the question. I
will allow the athlete to answer the question, and if
they don't answer the question, then I have the freedom
to give the answer because I've given them the opportunity
and they've chows them not to do it. And that's
really what Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni did on this one.
They gave a non answer answer. And in the NFL
(06:26):
that usually means the quiet part is actually the loudest.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Right that it Hurts essentially told you without telling you.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
He told you that he doesn't want to be a
battering eagle anymore. He's saving mileage like he's driving a
lease car and you don't want to go over the
mileage limit and you don't want to be on the highway,
so you just want to drive around the city and
you just kind of want to work that way. Now,
what is my evidence. Let's go to the numbers. So
we got the numbers. Eighty four carries through twelve games
(06:56):
for Jalen Hurts. That is what's known as in his word, old,
and he's different than other quarterbacks because the running game
is a big part of the arrangement on how he's
been good. So eighty four carries through twelve games. That
is tiny house living. Tiny house living is what that is.
And this is a guy who used to run like
(07:18):
someone litz took us on fire, and now he's he's
still running. But it's not the same. It's just something
a little haywire. It's not quite right, like it's he's
not fully putting himself in bubble wrap, much like part
of him is.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You know what I'm saying, you feel me on that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
So he's gone from dual threat to dual thought, constantly
deciding whether that one hit is worth the headache and
making what we call business decisions. He's been to the
rodeo a few times. He's trying to make some business
decisions as the line goes, as the line goes, and
(08:00):
so because he's hyper aware of the narratives. Though, here's
the part of it that's interesting. Right, he's gone from
the you know, the dual threat to the dual thought.
But the hyper aware part is interesting because he's probably
this weekend, the Eagles are in La A, don't play
until Monday, and he's gonna hear all about this, and
(08:23):
he's already read about it and a long flight and
all that stuff. And I wouldn't be shocked if he
goes out there and he starts running around like a
shopping cart with a busted wheel, just despite everyone. The
classic overreaction machine or go NFL ego All right now,
Page two to the High Speed Sports Wire. A shake
(08:45):
up after a full Mallard myolog on a transaction that
seemed like an.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Alley oop oop oop. Well, the other shoe was dropped,
and we revisit this. Darius Sleigh.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Remember Darius Lay who was claimed off the dumpster from
the Buffalo Bills. He was put on the pink slip
papers by Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
They said, we don't want you. You suck.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And well, now we've learned that Darius Lay is I
don't know if I want to play, eh, you know,
maybe not.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I don't know. I don't know I want to play.
He's unsure whether he wants to continue playing. Do you
see this?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, he's not going to be reporting to Buffalo. I'm
sure it has nothing to do with not wanting to
live in Buffalo. Now, Slay's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the Bull
crap artist. He attempted to spend the story. Now, the question,
did Darius Slay do the Buffalo Bills dirty?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Did he do him dirty with this particular move.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So the only acceptable answer on this, the only one
is y ees.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So I'm nodding my head. I'm nodding my head yes
on this one. This wasn't a curveball. This was a
spit ball.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It was doctored up, It was greased with pine tar
and hurled right at the buffalo forehead. Now, the good
thing about that is the buffalo is so big it
doesn't really notice. It's so big, it doesn't really worry
about that, and it will go to the garbage heap
of history when you think about this. Now, the argument
can be made that the Bills should have checked in
with Darius Lay and said, hey, how would you like
(10:17):
to play in Buffalo? We're thinking about adding you. But
the player ultimately is more at fault here. The adult thing,
the professional thing to do, would have been, hey, guys,
I you know, I'm thinking about unplugging the jukebox here
for a bit. Maybe just don't don't nobody claim me,
and instead Darius Lay decide, you know what I'm gonna
(10:39):
play peak Baboo with retirement Pinkaboo, I see you, and
left the Bills holding an empty lunch pail. Now the
ripple effect, to me, that's the most interesting part. The
guy don't want to play, you know, he's quit, fine, whatever,
But that part is brutal because Buffalo had major.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Issues in the secondary. Do I think that Darius Lay
would have solved the issue? No, I don't. I made
that perfectly clear in a previous episode of the show.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's my opinion. It's one man's opinion. But Buffalo claimed
Darius Lay. They thought he would be an upgrade, value added,
even as we questioned the impact from the bully pulpit,
and then boom goes to dynamite.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
They waived someone named JaMarcus Ingram.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
We don't know who that is, but he was on
the roster and he plays in the secondary. The Texans,
of course, then said, okay, they're like it. We'll be
like a seagull here. The Texans came in there and
a seagull at lunchtime a picnic there at the beach,
and they came in and gobbled up the player. And
so the Bills ended up trading a live body. They
(11:42):
got rid of the live body JaMarcus Ingram. They picked
up a poltergeist, a ghost spooky that is malpracticed by circumstances.
What that is now, there have been some rumblings, there's
some chatter that there's something more or nefarious going on.
(12:02):
If you've heard the conspiracy that Darius Slay assumed that
he would only be picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles,
who did make a waiver claim on him.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
He wanted to go back to Philly. He won a
Super Bowl in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The Eagle maniacs love him, and that the reason he
doesn't want to go to Buffalo, Darius Lay is that
they're trying to finagle a way to get the Philly
with agent Drew Rosenhouse trying to pull some strings as
the puppet master behind the scenes. We'll see if there's
anything to that, but that's what's bouncing around now. This
is the NFL. I don't think it is a pajama party,
(12:39):
and pretty much like any job, I don't think it's
much different.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Whatever you do. If you want to be good at your.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Job and take pride in your product, you have to
be one hundred percent committed. You have to show up
on time. You have to put the work in all
that stuff, and you have to want to be.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Great at whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Whether you're working in a factory or warehouse, you're cleaning toilets,
making donuts, or or a robber, whatever you might be,
you want to be at the very top of your profession.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And so you look at this.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
It's like, okay, So when a guy starts pondering retirement
and you're like, I.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Might play, I might take a nap, I had.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
A big lunch, you know, it's like, you know, you
start pondering retirement, that's code for my duffel bag is
already packed. And see a Suckers Sea Suckers and Slay.
He didn't just check out mentally, he's he's physically checked
out as well. That's why the Steelers got rid of him.
And he handed the bills. A malor approved screwjob Darius
(13:34):
Slay he did. This is a drive through special screwjob
by Darius Lay. No player, no production, no refund, All
sales are final. It's oh v e over stick a
fork in it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It's all over all right, final point. We now go
to Louisiana. That's right, there reports that the New Orleans
Saints head coach Kellen Moore's job would be safe for
the Saints are a bad football team. They were supposed
to be a bad football team, and they've lived up
the expectations.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
This year in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Now, things though, have changed, despite some reports saying nothing
to see here Kellen Moore, he's not in any kind
of danger.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He's putting the blood, sweat and tears in and they're
not going to make any kind of a change, no
change at all. Well, now, all of a sudden, the
plot thickens.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
There's some buzz out of a byo that Kellen Moore
is not not out.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Of the woods.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
No, no, no, no, something's going on there, Some something's
going on. So the question what are the eyes and
the ears tell you of what appears to be now
a conflict of interest?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
What are the eyes and ears tell you about Kellen
Moore and his status with the Saints?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So the by you be boying boy, and Kellen Moore
is standing there in the cartoon bubble on the right side,
not the left side, the right side of my head,
in the right side of my head.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Kellen Moore is standing there like a chef who just
realized that he.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Had grabbed the expired shrimp, but he'd already put the
shrimp in, and the food must be served like nothing
is safe. It can't be safe, Like why would you
say he's safe. The Saints fans have started to put
the brown paper bags back on their heads. That's not
(15:33):
a fashion situation. That is a cry for help. I'll
give you an example, my guy Cashless Clay, and we
don't do shout out, so I can't wish cash Less
Clay a happy birthday. I could do a mention, but
I've chose not to. I've chose not to do a mention.
I can't do a shout out. I won't do a mention.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
But this guy, Cashless Clay is a big fan of
the show.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
And his lady there, Carly, and the family dog Ginger,
they all, from what I understand, where brown bags. When
they watch the Saints, they have the family all has
matching brown bags. Isn't that romantic? Isn't that the family
that brown bags? It is the family that loves it.
And that's the NFL's version though of I'm not mad,
(16:14):
i am numb, and I'm disappointed, and that is the real.
The numbness is the real swamp monster. That's the real
swamp monster. Because, as I have pointed out for many,
many years here, the cheat code in sports is not anger.
People don't get up saying, oh I don't like they're
(16:34):
saying mean things about my dream. They don't get upset
about that the real profession. There's some amateur people that
work in sports that are you know, they have thin skin,
their weasels, they get upset.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Most people don't. Anger means you're still engaged. It's the
other a word apathy. That's code three light sirens, paramedics
sprinting in with life saving equipment because the fan base
just flatlined, is what that is.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And you know it's bad when Gail Benson, who's older
than dirt, breaks out the she breaks out of the
billionaire bunker she's living in somewhere in the Louisiana there
to talk to the local newspaper.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Because why not, that's what old people do. They talk
to newspapers.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
But billionaires generally don't grant interviews unless something smells just
not right and you know, a toxic kind of odor
in the air, like that kind of thing. So the
Malo report card of This is a big old a
and again it's for apathy. It's the kiss of death.
(17:42):
It is the kiss of death. And you can't sell
season tickets to zombies. They've tried. They don't pay.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Kellen Moore was supposed to be the boy Wonder of
offensive football.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
At one point, he was the coach in waiting for
the Dallas Cowboy. Imagine that the Dallas Cowboys at one point.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Were like, we gotta hire this guy. We we think
this guy is amazing.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And then now you look at where we are and
it's like he left, He went to the Chargers, went
to the Eagles, bounced around the whole thing, all right, though,
the whole thing, and now you're like, okay, so you're
serving up right now, you're serving up spoiled gumbo with
(18:29):
maggots and a side of cornbread with crunchy cockroaches.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's her offense twenty six in the NFL. That's not
an offense.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
That is like a crime scene with that yellow tape
wrapped around at it is what that is. And so
the malar malfeasance meter is redlining. The mallor malfeasance meter
is redlining on this one. If more doesn't fix this,
he is going to be gumbo canned right out of
(18:58):
the Big easy. So I do believe that that is legit.
