Speaker 1 (00:00):
First day.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number bird two. Our number two is ready
for you here the Ben Mahlor Show. So, how do
you dissect the Joe Flacco trade from the Browns to
the Bengals? Yeah, that actually happened. I'm not making that up.
Joe Flacco has been washed up for ten years. At
least gets another chance to start. Also, what is it
(00:26):
gonna take for Odell Beckham to return to the NFL?
Beckham's already got three teams he wants to play for.
We'll take a look at that. And why did Bill
Belichick get cold feet on the North Carolina docu series
that was supposed to be coming to Who Lou? But
now we'll be going nowhere. We'll discuss that as well.
(00:48):
We have Mallor to the third degree this hour, and
we'll play thumbs up thumbs down with our friend Reggie
or Eddie rather Eddie from North Carolina. So that'll be
coming up this hour here, it is our number two. Well,
how long does unwavering support last?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Do you know? How long? We now know the answer
to that question.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder,
as we have absolute chaos unless we don't coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and groovily
(01:33):
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the navigation
as we circumnavigate around the sporting globe the thrill of
defeat from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios. As

I agree, I said it first, she said, you're absolutely right, Kathy.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Tire iraq dot com the way tire.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Buying showy sorry lead this hour from Sinsinady a follow
up follow up up to a previous mal monologue. A
few days back, we ranted and raved about the fact
that the Cincinnati Ben Gals head coach Jack Taylor had
announced he had unwavering support for Jake Browning, unwavering support
(03:20):
for his starting quarterback. I went back. I checked my
notes because I thought, well.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Did he do that?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I tell you, yeah, that was six days ago, so
we now know unwavering support last six days.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's it. Because if you have not heard, the Bengals
have made a chance.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I call them by their own.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Name, the Ben Gals, or if you like better, the
bung Goals. Well they've made a change at quarterback. If
you have not heard, I don't know where you've been.
Cincinnati has gone out and traded for a super ball hero.
They have made their move. Joe Flacco, you gotta find
(04:09):
the idiot in the room. That would be the Bengals.
I'm not making you think I'm lying I'm not making
this up.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I am not.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Cincinnati has acquired Joe Flacco in the very rare Ohio,
Ohio trade.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Dick and Dayton's heads exploded right now. I can't believe
it better.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I don't know what to do. Anyway, So Joe Flacco
traded within the division. If you don't listen to the
whole show, Dick and Dayton usually calls the last hour.
He's our Ohio sports expert. So there is Cincinnati acquiring
Joe Flacco a trade with the Cleveland football team. The
ben Goals also received a sixth round draft pick. The
Browns landed a fifth round pick.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So it was like a trade, a swap of picks
and moving parts and all that. But anyway, let us
discuss the question who cares about trafficks? Traffics are losers.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So how do you dissect the rotting carcass of Joe
Flacco being repackaged to cross the state of Ohio little
in state commerce.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
As he goes from the Browns to the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So on this one, I've got out Fox game show
rerun and medical lab and we will combine all of
these things together and we are gonna make your Babushka's
favorite cheese doodles, because every Babushka loves good cheese doodles.
So number you jumped the gun number one, all right.
(05:41):
So my first thought on this the Bengals making the trade.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
This is unbelieved. This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So uh, this is theck the dictionary definition of to
make a trade. Just to make a trade. You make
a change, just to make it change. Right, it's a
lateral move right into the landfill. You were already heading
towards the landfill, and you've now made.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The move a little faster. You've put a little pedal
to the metal. There. Trash out garbage in, trash out.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Garbage in right there. So the Cincinnati front office, I
love this. So the in the cartoon bubble in mind,
I want to see if you agree with me on this.
So in the cartoon bubble in my head, the Bengals
front office and coaching staff they're like, well, publicly, we
have unwavering support for Jake Browning. Privately, they were essentially
(06:35):
cold calling other NFL front offices like a telemarketer at
dinner time and saying, hey, hi, this is Joe Blow
from the Cleveland Browns. Do you have any washed up
quarterbacks that are lying around collecting dust that we can have.
And so they called every team and then that like,
the last one they called was the Cleveland Browns, and
(06:58):
Cleveland was trying not to last. The front office there
this shit, Sure we got a guy, We got a
guy for you, no problem.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And so I'm pretty.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Sure you're not getting the twenty thirteen version from Baltimore.
Joe Flacco has been living off that one magic carpet
ride for over a decade. How long does this last?
What is the statue of limitations on a Super Bowl run? Well,
for Joe Flacco, he's going on twelve years, twelve years,
(07:30):
and the last great moment he had was twelve years ago.
It's what and Flacco continues, and this is a solid move.
This is the same move that criminals make. They move
locations rapidly to out fox the authorities. You gotta be
one step ahead of the law, is what they say.
So since twenty eighteen, seven years, Joe Flacco has now
(07:53):
played for six different teams. He has started forty one games.
He's fourteen and twenty seven, which I didn't play in
the NFL. I'm told that's not good fifty nine touchdowns,
thirty eight interceptions, and a gaggle of fumbles, and he's
officially hit the AFC North punch card. He's got three
(08:15):
of the four teams in the division. The only one
he's missing is the Pittsburgh Steelers. So good luck to
Sean the hood Guy and the other Steeler fans, because
Joe Flacco will be playing for you. It's inevitable next season.
So that the Browns somehow come out of this ahead.
They were able to put Joe Flacco on offer up
with a free come by, pick it up yourself tag,
(08:38):
and then somebody said, well, we'll pay you something for that,
and said, well, we don't want anything, We're gonna give
it away. Why no, I want to give you something,
Well we don't want anything. Well, fine, okay, I'll take it. Fine,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And so they flipped.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Him for a pick, swap a fifth for a sixth,
and so they get to upgrade the draft board and
all that stuff. Meanwhile, the Bengals, the bung guy there
in Cincinnati, they just bought a sedan off the interweb
that has three hundred thousand miles on it and a
(09:10):
bad transmission.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
That is what they got. And of course the social
media world, the bots. What's up?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Bots?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
The bots are all excited, they're all horny because, oh,
does this mean Shirdar Sanders is now going to be
a heart beat away or a broken ankle away from
starting for Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I don't know about that. Maybe not, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But the story in Cincinnati is capital h humiliation. You
have your head coach a week ago announce you have
unwavering support, unwavering support for your quarterback, Jake Browning, and
Jake Browning has been so bad he does deserve to
lose his job. But when you come out over the
(09:49):
times all we don't believe coaches, We just mock coaches
and low information fans, the dumb dumbs. They believe everything right,
they believe everything they hear from these schools.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Why would he lie? I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Shut up anyway, So back to the story. So Jake
Browning deserved to get demoted, He got the moe, he
deserves a wedgie someone he's so bad he a But
when you say unwavering support and then a week later
you've traded for somebody else who also sucks Jake Browning,
let me do the malar math on this, he had
eight interceptions in four games, and he has been replaced
(10:25):
by a boomer in Joe Flacco, who's also cooked.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Joe Flacco absolutely cooked.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
There, absolutely cooked, And you can have all the veteran
presence you want, the adult in the room. But this
is just again, as we said, change for Chain's sake.
For the Cincinnati Bengals. Here the malor report card, the
report card record. The Bengals get a date, they get
(10:54):
the date. Congratulations, there, Joe Flacco has a few less
maggots then Jake Browning on his body, so congratulations, there's
less vermin on on Flacco. He's by no means good.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I couldn't give him an F because Jake Browning's an
F quarterback and Flacco's a D. So you upgraded from
an F to a D. You still have to go
to summer school. So I'm sorry about that. Now the
Browns get a C. You can't get too excited about
a draft pick because only I can't say what I
want to do. But this is people that I'm not
(11:30):
big fans of.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Schmndricks, dingle Berry's love the draft.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They get so excited for it. It's not a football trade.
It's a more of a pity swap by the Browns, like,
oh man, you're part of the cartel Cincinnati, and you're
embarrassing all of us. We got to get you somebody
else here to take our trash. Here you go, all
right now, page sho. Speaking of trash. Oh Dell Beckham Junior,
Oh b J Remember him? Former NFL player Odell Beckham. Well,
(11:55):
he is facing a trip to the natty list because
he dabbled.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
In the needle.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Little poke poke strong strong Uh yeah, PDS six game suspension.
He was a non factor with the Miami Dolphins. Might
remember last season. However, he still is holding out hope.
Granted it's a faint hope, but Odell Beckham that he
will play for a contender, not just in the NFL,
(12:25):
mind you, not just in the NFL, but for a
contender at some point this season. So he's getting that
good ayahuasca.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It clearly is.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
In fact, he specifically mentioned these Steelers, Themms and cans
Uh City as possibilities during an appearance on a Fledgling
Jock podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
There are so many, they're all the same.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
He said, quote Beckham, you can say whatever you want
about me.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, that's right, I'm gona talk to So that's what
I do. I just say what I want. Quote continues.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
He said, I stand firm in knowing who I am today.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Okay, good.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
He said, I ain't never cheated anybody but myself. Okay, well,
I kind of cheated the other people that are trying
to make rosters if he I guess he did this
with the dolphins. He was mentioned doing steroids and still sucking.
If I read that right, that's like, that's kind of embarrassing.
It's like I did all this and it's like a
baseball player rubbing the clear and the cream on and
(13:32):
you know, putting a needle in your ass, and then
you hit seven home runs.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
They're like, well, what's that about. I don't understand. Well,
I guess you didn't do it right, dummy.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So good anyway, So again Beckham, the point of this
is Beckham's like, hey, I'm gonna come back and play.
I didn't cheat anybody I am. We keep doing what
I'm doing it. You can say whatever you want blah.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And he mentioned the Steelers, Rams and the Chiefs. So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. What
is it going to take for Odell Beckham to return
to the NFL. So we're talking about a guy who, again,
it's all because of the hyperbole of New York had
(14:13):
a catch on a Sunday night game. If I remember correctly,
the Giants lost to the Cowboys. It was a highlight catch.
Al Michaels had to call there on a Sunday night game.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
And here we are, and now he can't even get
a tryout with an NFL team, Like he's going on
podcasts trying to drum up interest, like a politician trying
to see where the wind is blowing.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Here, it's kind of like watching at this point, what
Beckham needs He needs to watch a game show rerun
of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The only scenario
I see Odell Beckham getting back. And we all agree
he can't play anymore. He's done. Doesn't mean he can't
get a job, it just means he can't play. He's
thirty two, but he's like an old thirty two. So Beckham,
(14:58):
he's got to go Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
And remember one of the lifelines they had, phone a friend,
phone a friend. And as I've gotten older in life,
I've realized that you can have all the academia you want,
you have all the education you want, but it doesn't
really matter.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's who you know, not what you know. It's who
you know that's what matters.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
More So, it's like, hey, he knows Sean McVay, Hey,
ring Ring, Hey Sean. I know I normally text, but
I decided to call you. My name's Odell Beckham. You
got a roster spot for me? Okay, And he calls
Aaron Rodgers. Hey, remember that party we went to back
in the day in Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, the ayahuasca was
really good. Yeah yeah, it's a oh bj Yeah yeah. So, uh,
you know, I'd like to like to get a job,
(15:37):
And then Roger would be like, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
What I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I'm gonna burn some sage for you. I'm gonna I'm
gonna burn some sage. I'll manifest destiny this and I'm
gonna make it happen. And I'll also take you to
a darkness retreat.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So Beckham's whole career at this point in time is
one big It's not what you know, it's who you know.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's what he it is, that's everything's hinging on that
he's you got tape. He's washed up from the tape.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Two acls, I believe I think two, three cities one Kardashian.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I think it might be more than three cities.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Right was in the Giants Cleveland, the Rams, Baltimore in Miami.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So four cities, Yeah, I might be missing one. I
go with four. I'm gonna go with four. So there,
but he's still got the roll.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
The next we still got that nice phone book on
his iPhone there and see if McVeigh loves him, and
Matthew Stafford trusts him, and some of the RAMS receivers
get hurt. Andy Reid's wide receiver room depressing. It looks
like a clear and style at a dollar tree. Not
a lot going on there, and so so you're saying
(16:44):
there's a chance. So but the problem you get on
the phone with those people and they're like, all right,
you know, I remember Odell Beckham back in the day. Man,
But you're selling the name. You're selling Nostalgia's what you're
selling there. You're selling the good vibrations from days gone by,
not what's going on right now.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
You have no separation speed that does not exist.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And if he gets back in Odell Beckham, it will
be on a.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Wing and a prayer on a wing.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
He might want to go to the Saints because they're
big in praying, So go to the Saints. The Angels
don't play in the NFL, so I'm told so, OBJ
wearing those rose colored spectacles, the Gucci rose colored spectacles,
hoping that he can make some bad highlights, or at
least stand on the bench and pretend like he's playing.
Get to wear the uniform, do some cosplay and all
(17:34):
that all right.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Final point to the Land of Belichick. Follow up, follow up,
follow up docuseries Gone Bad.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Docuseries Gone Bad, A behind the scenes look at Bill
Belichick's North Carolina Tar Hill football.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Program has been killed.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The Kabash not gonna happen will not be coming to
a small screen streaming service near you. We have learned
learned that Who Lou which somehow is still in business Hulu.
The series planned all around Bill Belichick and his floozy
girlfriend his first year at Chapel Hill will no longer
(18:14):
be happy, not gonna happen there. This comes just a
couple days after the tar Hills got publicly flogged by
Clemson on their home turn thirty eight to ten.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yikes, that ain't good.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
So question why did Bill Belichick end up getting cold
feet and North Carolina not going forward with the docu series?
Was it Belichick that put the kill switch on it?
Or was it Hulu that put the kill.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Switch on it? Inquiring minds would like to know. So.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
The obvious answer to this, if North Carolina was four
and one right now and they were the toast of
college football, then they would be choreographing and Belichick himself
would be choreographing drone shots of Belichick walking around practice
and he'd be jogging in a gray cutoff North Carolina
(19:09):
hoodie with the powder blue North Carolina Tar.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Hill logo there, and it would be b roll.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
They would show in the opening scene of the first episode,
back to work for the old Chris old coach, and
he'd be walking around had the whistle whistle, whistle whistle.
He'd have all that but for Belichick bailing the Bellachickian
haters out there like, oh this is crazy. Belichick likely
(19:36):
thinks this is some kind of pr move, like if
you could be a little bitty fly.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
On the wall in the North Carolina facility. He thinks, well,
here's what I do. I know this move here, so
we'll just scrub.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Clean the bad video from the games and the practices
like it's a medical lab. No one will be able
to get any DNA any of this, and it's kind
of like burning the tape before the tape gets sent
to the front office. Of course, this reality is much
different here in North Carolina because you get the seventy
(20:11):
three year old Belichick, the twenty four year old influencer.
You lost to Clemson, got smoked, You lost the opener
to TCU got smoked, a UCF got roasted, and so
they pull the plug on Hulu. Now I have no
insider information, but just using the brain that I was
(20:35):
given and just chopping by the law of probabilities, I
think what most likely happened here. Belichick's not playing chess.
He's not you know, he's not playing even more like
hungry hungry hippos.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know, is what he's doing here. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You want to bet dollars to donuts that who had
to deal with North Carolina and then they once they
realized how bad this is and how terrible North Carolina is,
they didn't pull the plug, but they said, well, we
need to have more editorial control. And Belichick and George
Don Hudson, it's more likely than not that they freaked out.
(21:16):
They're like, well, they're gonna make us look bad. You know,
they're gonna make us look like country Bumpkins here.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We don't want it.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And so if Hulu, if I'm right, and they were
the ones that wanted to have more not maybe not
final edit, but close to it. They got to have
a little bit of what they want in the show.
And Belichick's like, no, unless I control the All twenty two,
I'm not doing it. It's the classic running from the grind.
You got to run from the ground. That's the opposite
(21:44):
of what Bill Belichick. The ethos of Belichick is not
the run from the grind. And this is the brand
new era of Bill Belichick at Carolina. It's supposed to
be the redemption arc and the grumpy Genius proving that
he can win anywhere, at any time with any one. Instead,
it has become a very sad, depressing DOCU series five
(22:09):
games three losses, no future, just a mess, no lights,
no camera, no makeup, no action. It is the Ben

Speaker 1 (24:53):
To what we go. It is the big radio show.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
So an NBA coach is called his big percentage of
his fans idiots.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Mark, the full name guy who is too old to
call the show anymore. He's washed up, but he still
sends messages on social media. He says, Odell Beckham helped
your effing Rams win a Super Bowl mercenary mouth. He
misspelled mouth, by the way, you are such a schmuck.
First of all, Mark, I don't own the Rams. I
enjoy watching him play professional football.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
They're the team of my youth, is Looney Tunes likes
to say on Benny versus the Penny. So I do
enjoy the Rams, that is correct. I don't make any
money when they win. I have a talk show to
do every day. It doesn't matter. Jacksonville could win the
Super Bowl, I'll be in here, right. The Rams could
lose every game, I'll be in here. The Rams could
win every game, I'll be in here. I have a
(25:44):
show to do so and Odell Beckham, Yeah, he did
have a nice stretch. He didn't play the whole year
with the Rams that year, but he had a nice
stretch of games and it was cool and he would
have been the super Bowl MVP. However, he got hurt
in the Super Bowl. That does not mean that I'm
going to be for the rest of my life licking
the man's toes. Not going to do it. Not going
(26:09):
to happen. Mark, you schmuck. He just hides behind his phone.
And I have said, if you go back in the archives,
and I know Lucky Tony's listening to old shows right
now and he's going back through some of those old
shows and the hero worship and all that that goes on.
And I have fought against that. I called it for
(26:31):
years and I still do. The Championship Defenders League, there's
a group of individuals like this Mark, the full name guy,
who are blinded by the bling bling. They oh, he
got the ring, no matter how many wars, how rotten
your current performance is. If you won a little championship
back in the day and anyone says anything negative about you,
(26:52):
like Odell Beckham, You've got these low information dopes like Mark,
the full name guy who run out cocker roaches behind
the refrigerator and they scurry around.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
And they oh you can't try that.
Speaker 7 (27:06):

little bit of those tentacles they move around.

have been very happy, then you must have been great.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
Okay, the sirt point is college football. It is a
two parter. Number one. Do they need new leadership?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Number two?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Do we need geographical divisions and conferences?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
All right?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
So the leadership thing, you're just going to trade one
blow hard for another blowhard.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
So I don't think that's a solution. So I'm gonna
go thumbs down on that. I'm gonna go thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I I do miss the regional and this big ten
monstrosity where you've got teams from the Pacific northwest to
the East coast. I just seems too much to me.

need new leadership?

Speaker 9 (32:49):

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Okay? All right? Do you know what geographical means?

All right?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Okay, uh briefly a little bit of NHL most people
have compass.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Do we need to do something about this fighting?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Do we need to do something about the fighting? Name?
We mean? We need to put my stick right in
your mouth.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
We need more of it, right, not less No, I mean,
come on, I mean definitely need more. I got when
I first started years ago and I got a radio,
I got assigned to cover hockey was one of the
because nobody else wanted to do it, and so I
go out there and they used to have like real fighting,
and that that was the highlight.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Man. I loved it, dude. I was like, this is
the coolest thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And then over the years, obviously they've cut back on
that because you know, we have to appeal to everyone.
You know, we shoul well they had. Every team had
in the NBA too, Reggie. I mean, you're you're around
my age. Remember the NBA had goons. Every team had
like a guy that couldn't play but was just kind
of there to shove other people around.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I know, I miss it.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I you know, so we need more fighting that less
a Lorena thumbs up, thumbs down.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I love fighting, and I think we need more of it.
I think it's the most exciting part of the game.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
To be honest with you, do you like men fighting
or like women fight differently? Like women pull hair, they work,
they fight dirty.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Women are gross fighters. No, they are.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
They go they grab things that shouldn't be grabbedactly, they go.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
For the cheap shots always. So no, I mean men,
I'm sure do too, but you know I prefer ice
hockey with fights cool.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I don't care. All right, last last one, last one
thumbs up, thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (34:36):

Speaker 8 (34:41):
Last one thumbs up with thumbs down for neapolitan ice cream.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh okay, So this is an issue, see because I
think what normally happens is you have one of the
three flavors you like the most.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Now I'm a two.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I don't really care for the chocolate as much. So
you agree with me? So this is me too, Okay,
so we all agree.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
So why why it's like we put up with the
chocolate for the other flavors.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I would have two thirds of the container missing.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Exactly, That's what I'm said, all right, So we agree, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
No, I like all three flavors, and I love the variety.
Who knows I love variety.
Speaker 2 (35:22):

Speaker 7 (37:31):
The Ray Jets man in the meror Ben uh No.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Richie Anderson of the Jets, Richie Anderson here, we.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Got, we got, we got, I got, we got.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
About that to the third degree is one big fan
gets grilled.
Speaker 9 (37:48):
Gooblo Indianapolis linebackers I are. Franklin suggested this week that
the Colts lost to the Rams was a blessing in disguise.
Franklin explained, quote in a weird way, it was a
growth of confidence for us. Ben was the Rams game
a good loss for the Colts?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
So let me check my nose here, Coop, you smell
that bull crap. That is bull craf. No, they blew
the game. They had the game one. They blew the game.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
If that's the case, nobody's had a better year than
the Jets. They're owing five, Come on next.
Speaker 9 (38:16):
Jayden daniels return to the Commanders over the weekend led
the team to twenty seven straight points to come back
and win against the Chargers. Now at three and two,
do you think the Commanders are on the way back
to being contenders?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:25):
In the end, Nobody's established themselves as a truly dominant
team in the NFC. I was impressed, and the Chargers
were all broken.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Up and all that.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
But yeah, I thought the Commanders looked pretty good. So yeah,
they will be back in the playoffs. Whether they go
on a magic carpet ride, that's up for debate. Then
they got the Bears. That's a winnable game up ahead.
Cowboys after that. So there's a couple of winnable games
up ahead for the Commanders next.
Speaker 9 (38:47):
Now there's some college football analysts out there that believe
that the Texas Longhorn should bench arch manning Ben Do
you ever see that happening.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
No, I think what they're gonna do is they're gonna
come up with some fugesi injury. They're two into the
whole man and that is the royal family. It's kind
of like in the politics, the political world, you don't
mess with the Clintons. In football, you don't mess with
the Mannings, like like, bad stuff will happen.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
You just can't. You can't bench you Archman.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Now he got hurt somehow, Coop, Then you could say, Okay.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
He got hurt.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah, he's poytous, he suck. Holy how many monologues do
we do on arch Man? Waste of time? My god,
he's terrible. Anyway, there it is malardly third degree.
