Rare and appropriate college Football Malamano. Now, if you've been
with the show for a long time, you know that
this show broadcasts live Sunday night in the Monday and

(02:33):
then Thursday night into Friday is the end of our week. Now,
I do a podcast on the weekends, but during the
week those are the nights that we broadcast.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
So we are on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Night in the Monday after the NFL card on Sunday,
we're on Monday night into Tuesday. After the Monday night
NFL games, we're on Thursday and Friday after the NFL
doesn't leave us a lot of time for college football,
it just doesn't. We pick our spots. We pick our spots,
which normally means we just focus on the big names.

(03:04):
We focus on the big names in college football and
that's about it, or some goofy story that gets our attention.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
So the big game this weekend is oozing with Aura.
Oozing with Aura, Ohio State dotting the eye, trying to
dot the Longhorns from Texas in the horseshoe. It's on
Fox this weekend. Kind of a big deal.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
So the Buck guys have already banned David Portnoy over
at barstool. All the barstool people have been banned in
an embarrassing mister softy move by the Ohio State University.
Why god. So, Texas comes into this game as the
number number one team in both the Associated Press Top

(03:50):
twenty five and the coaches poll. They're still around, and
that is how we begin the season. The preseason poll
has Texas right at the very top of the mountain. Okay,
and if you look at your gambling odds, you see
that right there there. It is around DraftKings odds, subject
to change. Arch Manning is the Heisman favorite. He is

(04:12):
the quarterback for the University of Texas. There So arch Manning,
who has issued a prepared statement Arch Manning about his
team's place in the pecking order going into the college
football season. If he saw this or not, maybe not,
So I thought it was interesting. So arch Manning the
next in the line the lineage of the Manning family.

(04:34):
So arch Manning says regarding Texas going into this game, says.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
We don't have the target on our back. Arch Manning said,
we've got the red dot on everyone else. All right,
So let us discuss the question.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
By or sell, buy or sell Texas quarterback arch Manning
not having a bullseye on his back. So my observations,
I got Jeff Bezos, bubble bath, and alphabet soup, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Is what We're gonna make. Some onions in there, oh.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Perfect chef's kiss all right, So number, nice number. Now,
So I'm gonna sell this, Okay, I am going to
sell this. Arch Manning saying Texas does not have the
proverbial target on their back is kind of like the

(05:37):
Kardashians saying they don't really want attention.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Okay, let me, what are you doing? Please?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Now, you can't be the Heisman favorite, at least in
the world. I believe in the Mallard multiverse. But in
my part of the multiverse, you cannot be the Heisman
Trophy favorite, the face of the sport, the only real
star college football has the Golden Child, the Demanning monarchy.
And then try to play that We're just another team.

(06:05):
I'm just another quarterback that whole thing. You can't play
that card.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Not allowed. Sorry, not sorry, not sorry. It's akin to
Jeff Bezos trying to convince us that Amazon is just
a small mom and pop business. That's all it is.
It's all it is, that's all it is not.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Because listen, arch Manning, the hype on this kid is
next level, right. The Longhorns are at the very top
based on all of the noise of the hype food chain.
They are the kings of the hype jungle. Congratulations on it.
They're the phenomenon at a Golden Corral buffet.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
They are that.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
And every college football scribe and network, every radio gash
bag and wanna be podcast star drooling to get a taste.
And I'm in line, I'm online, I am and arch Manning.
He is the five star dessert. At least if you
believe all the stories that are out about college fall,

(07:06):
arch Manning is the five star dessert being carted out,
wheeled out with the sparklers. You know those nice desserts.
They have the chocolate drizzle at high end establishments. Yeah,
and you don't get to sit there in the spotlight.
I don't believe. What do I know?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
You don't sit there on the spotlight and claim, well,
I mean really in the shadows. Well, no, there's a
spotlight on you. You're not You're not exactly in the shadows.
That's not at all.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
He's talking about hunting other teams, arch Manning the Texas quarterback,
you know, hunting other teams and all that stuff, and
U and Texas is the gazelle out in the open prairie.
There they're running around and every lion in the savannah
has circled them. That's the reality right there. The gazelle.
They said they're the Longhorns, but they're the gazelle in

(07:51):
this and that burnt orange jersey that Texas is known
for there, you know, might as well be camouflage. But
in reverse here, you know, it's screams, come get me, Bra,
That's what it's. Come get me, Bra, That's what it screams.
The Manning family. I don't know how many times you
have to say this. I'm anoyed saying this. It bothers me.
But they're the royal family of football. Blah blah blah

(08:12):
blah blah. Archie, I've determined. I've looked at the family
chart there, the family tree. So arch Archie Manning was
the founding father. You all determined that Peyton Manning was
King Midas. And then Eli, who he famously dubbed the Punk,
very mediocre NFL quarterback, but he became Prince Clutch in

(08:32):
the postseason. And then you've got arch Then you have
arch Manning. So where does he fall in the Manning lineage?
So Arch Manning is.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
The heir to the throne for now.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
He is the King Hype the first, He's King Hype,
the first, is the way that works. He is the
show pony, arch Manning. So he's the show pony in
a world full of plow horses. In college football. There's
a lot of plow horses in college football. And so
you know, Texas might not they might not have won

(09:06):
the championship because they didn't last year. It's been a
few years, but they did win the headline championship. And
in the game of publicity there at the very top,
the very top they are for this college football season,
something that Jerry Jones would love. They're like the Dallas
Cowboys of college football. They're bigger than their results, right,

(09:30):
bigger than arch Manning started two games last year.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Two that was it, you know, used in two games.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
And so the Cowboys though, in terms of the hype
and all that stuff, and you know, louder than their
record and all that and just being shoved in our fish.
Now they go out and get smoked by the Buckeyes.
That'll change a little bit, but the arch Manning story
doesn't go away that much.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now, speaking of that, we're gonna move to a different sport,
a different level of the sport. But page two here we.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Go to the final decision on the quarterback competition. It's
all over. The last team left. There was only one
that had not named their starting quarterback. We go now
to the Bayou and that is where the news came out. Question,
did the Saints make the right call as they picked

(10:23):
Spencer Rattler.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
As QB one over Tyler? Shuck? Aw shucks? Did they
make the right call? So we had.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
By the way, before I get into this, let's let's
hear the This is Kellen Moore making the announcement. Here
the head coach of the Saints. Don't need to remember
his name. He will not be the coach long, but
here's Kellen Moore, coach of the Saints.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Spencer Ratler's are starting quarterback. Really really excited for him.
He's do an awesome job this offseason. Oh, He's just
been consistent, made some really good decisions throughout this whole
entire process, and you know, his ability to make plays
with his arm and his feet have certainly shown up.
And so I'm really really excited about Spentry's earned this opportunity.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah. Literally see his nose growing in the video there
as he was saying that he does not believe any
of that.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
So there was no right call to make here, the
way I read the room here, there was no right
call to make. We mentioned in previous episodes you talk
about being stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
This is it right.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
You got a rookie head coach, Kella Moore, who's in
this case not the devil in the deep blue sea.
He's snuck, but he was stuck between. He's got a
rattlesnake bite or a scorpion sting.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Which one would you rather have? He chose King Colber.
He chose King Colber.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
And essentially the Saints are going to be taking a
bubble bath in snake Venom with Spencer Rattler and Moore
has a Kella Moore has a reputation, whether it's true
or not, of masking quarterback limitations, which is really what
good coaching is.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You're hiding the limitations of your player.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
And so we all know that, and that you talk
about putting that to the test here with Spencer Rattler,
who who has masters. He's only played a little bit
in the NFL, but he played a lot in college
football at Oklahoma and South Carolina. Spencer Ratler has become
the maestro of inconsistent pocket presence, and really bad decision making,

(12:14):
which is a death sentence if you're playing quarterback in
the NFL. It's more likely than not that Spencer Ratler
is just a means to an end. Now, what is
the end game?

Speaker 1 (12:25):
You ask arch matting. That's the endgame.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
These Saints have the NFL's lowest playoff odds, less than
four percent. In a league that is designed to give
everyone the false hope of having a chance to make
the playoffs, the Saints have a less than four percent
chance based on the gaming odds, to make the playoffs.
They have an expected win total which blows Ozzie wahse
away of five point two. Five point two. Now, keep

(12:54):
the Saints have no depth. So once these guys start
getting hurt, everyone has injuries. That's where we're They have
no depth, so they'll be getting guys off off or up,
Like hey, I put a job posting on offer ups.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well there's no plush for jobs.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
But they'll be trying to get anyone to play on
the offensive line. So, and keep in mind the Saints
playing a division.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
You know the division, I mean the division blows Carolina,
Come on, Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Who knows whether Michael Pennix Junior is going to be
that good. And Tampa has been a playoff team.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
But they don't scare anybody, the Buccaneers, they don't really
scare anybody, all right now, final point to the Bay
Area we go, follow up, follow up to a transaction.
So Brian Robinson, we mentioned this the other he got
traded from the team, formily knows the Redskins to the
San Francisco football team, and already he's out there with

(13:46):
a strong hot take. Brian Robinson let the world know
that he and Christian McCaffery are the best running back
duo in the NFL. So thumbs up, up, thumbs down,
thumbs up or thumbs down on this one. So this

(14:06):
is a give me a break situation that is a
big helping of alphabet soup is what that is. Of course,
the first thought is what else is he gonna say?

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Wouldn't that be quite the story if Brian Robinson got
to the forty nine ers and said, ah, yeah, I
stink and that's why I'm here because I sucked in
Washington and they thought I couldn't play anymore, so they
gave me to the forty nine ers and the Niners
are a bunch of idiots, and they added me. But
here's the reality. Brian Robinson's pretty good player, but he
was given away. And you know what your value is

(14:37):
based in that business. You know what your value is
based on what you were acquired for. Washington shipped. I
believe it was a late round draft pick to get
Brian Robinson. You know they chipped him out for a
late round draft pick. The Niners gave that up. And
so that's the NFL. You don't need the malll Rosetta
stow And that's the NFL's way of saying you're a dima.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Does it now?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
The other half of the best duo, Christian McCaffrey, was
a really good ballplayer. Unfortunately he's got a glitch. He's
made out of glass. The main is made out of it.
He's unbelievable when he's out there playing for the Niners.
Right Eileen in San Francisco, she loves w washing him
run around there and her nest O and the Bay
and all those they love him. They absolutely love him,
Jay Scoop, all those Niner apologies out there, they love

(15:20):
this guy when.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
He's running around. However, here's the problem.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
All right, he's made out of guys, and you cannot
call it the greatest running back.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
He said the best, which means we'll get to that
in a minute.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Best duo if one guy's always camped out in the
injury tent and the other guy was basically free with purchase,
so they just tossed him in as an add on
to sweeten the pot. Best du us, so it's more
like the best solo act. And then Brian Robinson is
holding the mic stand all right, it's and so now

(15:54):
there are other good combinations.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I don't know what we need to do. I certainly
do I don't want to do a list. That's what
Terry and England likes. He likes list. I don't do that.
I do Big Ben's big board.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
But just looking around, off the top of my head,
if you were to look at other running back combo
dishes that stand out, like the Lions when things are
going right for Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery, that's a
pretty good one two punch they have in Motown. And
dare I say that the Raiders have the makings of

(16:23):
something pretty good. If Ashton Genty is as advertised top
ten pick in the Draft and raheem Moster. It's been
pretty productive. He's old, but he's been pretty productive. That's
got some explosiveness.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
It does. And so no, I'm sure I can get
a bunch of crap from San Francisco for you. Just
compare the Niners to the Lions and the Raiders. What's
wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
But remember the term best the legal definition and advertising
means as good as all the rest. So if I
can say we have the best radio show and no
one cansume me. If I say our show is better
than you know whoever, I think our competition's on tape anyway.
But if I say we're better, then I have to
I can be suon. I have to prove it and
all that stuff. Anyway, It is the Ben Maus Show.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Moe let's go To. Barry who's in? Slow Saint Louis,
obismo what's going? On very?

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Welcome, YEAH i just was wondering how you think The
dodgers should Use toni And kirsch in the? Playoffs all?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right how? Slow by the, way what YOU i was
JUST i was just. THERE i was just, yeah. Okay
my wife loves The madonna in over, there so oh,
yeah we go we go there every every once in a. While,
yeah good cake. There, YEAH i go you hike over? There, interesting,
yeah some good. Hiking yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah so they The dodgers are in a pickle With
otani because the, rule The otani, rule is if he,
starts he can stay in the.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Game there's talk they're gonna use him as a reliever
in the.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Playoffs but if they use him as a, reliever AS
i understand, it and they take him out of the,
game then they lose his, bat so that doesn't make
a lot of. Sense so they're gonna they're really forced
to Start otani even if he only pitches a couple
of innings in per game because of that.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Rule although he's more he's much better as a hitter
than he is a. Pitcher so you're you're gonna have
to leave him as a. Starter And kershaw has been.
FINE i DON'T i still don't Trust. KERSHAW i didn't
trust him when he was twenty. FIVE i don't trust
him now at this.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Age so they'll likely start him, though because you Know
blake's snelling some of these other dopes that they. GOT
i don't trust them. Either there's not a lot of,
trust is What i'm, Saying. BARRY i don't have a
lot of trust with these. Pitchers i'm just, yeah thank thank, You.

Here The lions did not do well in the, preseason
going one and, three getting outscored by forty six. Points
Dan campbell admitted that the performance is quote a little bit,
Concerning Ben how concerning should it?

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Be it's only concerning from the. Standpoint it shows you
that there's a lack of depth for The lions because
you're playing backups in the exhibition.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Season but, no it doesn't, matter and you didn't play
your star, players you didn't game.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Plan it is.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Irrelevant it is irrelevant other than the fact that if
you get down to your third string, guys you've got some,
problems because those are the guys that play most of
the exhibition. Games and it would appear That Dan campbell
has an issue there in that. Department, now if The
lions get off to a horrible, start we can revisit,
this but at this point that's my.
