Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh oh, it's our number two, our number two. And
how bad are things looking for John Harball's Baltimore Ravens
blown off the field in Kansas City? The Ravens are
one to three on the season, Lamar Jackson claiming to
be hurt as well, And how are things looking for
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on the other side? Is
(00:23):
Kansas City able to get that blowout win? New York
rookie quarterback Jackson Dart, at his debut as a starter,
was described as impressive. The Giants did beat the Chargers.
You agree or disagree that Jackson Dart was impressive in
his first start. We'll talk about all that and more here.
(00:44):
It is our number two. We are four weeks into
the NFL season, and one of the teams, one of
the Darlings projected to go deep into the postseason, already
on thin ice. Just four games into the NFL season,
and welcome in the beginning of another hour of the
(01:04):
Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air everywhere, shoulder

tire buying should be. That's what Alf and Fergdog tell me.
So I lead this hour from Camsaw City, where the
Ben Mallard chicken fingers are piping hot there at the
landing in Liberty, Missouri, a great Mallord meet and greet
(02:32):
last November. It's almost been a year now, closing in
that another month and a few days away from our
last get together there in Kansas City. But the Ravens
in town to take on the Chiefs, and one of
these teams was looking at a one in three start,
the other one back to five hundred, a lot on
the line. If you didn't see this game, you didn't
miss much. It was a domination situation. I was multitasking.
(02:55):
Not only was I observing in person the Indianapolis Colt
Danny Dime and the Colts taking on the Rams that
I was monitoring the other games going on, including this one.
And not much, not much to worry about in this game,
as Patrick mahomes mahoone throwback performance. There two hundred seventy
yards passing, not one, not two, not three, four touchdown passes,
(03:18):
a turn back to the clock, We're still good type story.
As the Chiefs get it done there, they jumped all
over the pathetic Ravens. They were missing by the time
the game dded seven defensive starters and the backups. They
suck thirty seven to twenty. The victory there in the
(03:38):
matchup of what had been AFC Bohemos but not now.
Kansas City back to five hundred and they picked up
a game on the Chargers and the Division who lost
to the Giants. Now four different players spreading it around,
four different players caught touchdown passes from the Chiefs. Xavier
Worthy returned after missing a bunch of time there from
(04:02):
the shoulder injury, had five catches for eighty three yards.
A quiet performance by Travis Kelcey in this game. But
Kansas City's offense like a firecracker all of a sudden
in this game. They've been struggling and for the first
three games rather pathetic, but not in this game. But
the better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
(04:22):
So let's focus in on the team from Maryland. As
we discussed the question how bad are things looking right now?
We do the show today, How bad are things looking
for John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens. They are one in three,
their quarterback is in the injury tent. How are things
looking for the Ravens? So I've got ASTech, Mark Twain,
(04:45):
and Santa Claus and we will combine all of these
things together and We're going to make delicious crustables, the
great crustables. That's what we're gonna make there. Just absolutely
get so number number, yes, number one number all right now.
(05:06):
On the patented Malard scale of panic, which homeless Mike
Contempee knows is the number one way to approach when
a team is having problems here. So on the patented
Mallard scale of panic one to ten, with ten being
getting a message on your phone that this is not
a warning there are ballistic missiles coming inbound. Number when
(05:28):
they accidentally did that in Hawaii few years back. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
So on that scale, I am at an eight point five.
I am at an eight point five for the Baltimore Ravens.
That's where I am. The Ravens brand. What is the
Ravens brand. It has been defense machismo, which is toughness
(05:51):
and intimidation. That's the Ravens. That's always been the Ravens. Defensively,
this year they are bottom feeders. They are bottom feeders here.
Out gained in every single game, yes even against the Browns,
out gained in every single game this season. They're thirty
second in total defense, which I'm told is not good
(06:14):
they're also dead last in not just scoring a defense,
but in total defense. They're dead last. They're giving up
thirty three point three points per game. They being the
team from Baltimore, which is half the sign of the devil.
Three three three, half the sign of the devil. You're
you're the Baltimore Ravens. Your entire identity, your entire identity
(06:38):
is defense, defense, defense, And now you are getting shish
kebab shredded like taco meat every single week, every single
week here, and this is a new low water mark.
You figured coming off the Monday night game against the Lions,
which was pathetic. You know, Okay, things are gonna be better.
(07:01):
It's a short week, but you can play a little
bit better, and everyone figures things out defensively when they
play Kansas City, everyone's in a better mood when you
play the Chiefs offense. And they could have the way
they played defense in this game, they could have just
put out that they being the Ravens. They could have
put out tackling dummies on one side and traffic cones
on the other and the results would have been the same.
(07:24):
And it's bad. It's bad. How bad is it? It's
so bad? Right now that we're heading down a path
where we're gonna have an as tech like sacrifice. There's
gonna be an as tech like ritual sacrifice here. In
terms of the coaching staff, that defensive coordinator Zach Orr
has to be on borrowed time here. He's got to
be on thin eyes injuries. I believe I heard this
(07:46):
from my mentor sports with Coleman. He told me that
injuries a part of the game. It's how you handle
that and how you approach that that matters, and you
don't get trampled on. That's not rising up next man up,
do your job. All that crap that's getting punked and
the Ravens are getting punked on a weekly basis here.
(08:06):
So the easy move would be to just dump Zach
or get rid of him. He's only been there a
couple of years. And then you've got Chuck Pagano who's
on the staff, although he's not doing that great either,
I believe he's the secondary coach. You could elevate Pegano
and make him the defensive coordinator interim for the rest
of the year. And John Harball he's over there. He's
worried about Lamar's Hammy which went whammy, not Hammy goes
(08:30):
whammy for Lamar Jackson. Now, no update, We're gonna get
that later on on Monday. There'll be a battery of
tests for Lamar Jackson. But he left the game early.
And we learned that Cooper Rush, yes, that Cooper Rush,
the old cowboy guy, Cooper Rush is the backup quarterback
there for the Ravens. So the Ravens in the span
of four weeks have gone from playoff lock, playoff lock
(08:54):
to star Trek Beam me Up, Scottie in four weeks.
And they're not only they banged up here at this
particular point, they're cursed. You've got Ronnie Stanley, Rowan Smith,
Marlon Humphrey, somebody named Nate Higgott Wiggins, and Lamar Jackson himselves,
all of those players hobbling off the field like there
(09:15):
were extras in saving Private Ryan there in that particular game.
And you look at the secondary and they blow. It's
like a pirate there, she blows. That's the Ravens secondary here,
and big old chunks. You get a chunk play, you
get a chunk play, you get a chunk play, and
so you are what your record says you are. Baltimore
is one in three at this point. They are at
(09:36):
the very bottom in many very important categories. Right now.
They are closer to getting a top five pick in
the twenty twenty six NFL Draft than they are being
a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Now, I will be Benny Brightside,
and I'm not gonna sit here to say ray Lewis
is walking back through that door. Ed Reid's walking back
through that door. But if you look at what has
(09:58):
happened in the division, reason I'm at any point five
right now. But if you look at the big picture here,
you look at the Browns, same old sorry ass Browns.
They stuck. They're just terrible. The Bengals who play on
Monday Night, they don't have Joe Burrow, he's out for
the year, and it looked like they had never picked
(10:18):
up a football when they played Minnesota last week in
their game. We'll see what they do against the Broncos tonight,
but they appear to not know whether the ball is
stuffed or puffed, and so we'll see what happens in
that game this weekend. So there's still some avenues to
go down. However, if Lamar Jackson obviously is out for
an extended period of time, then everything becomes radioactive. It's
(10:39):
like Chernobyl like with Lamar being out. Good luck on that.
Now on the other side, Page two cansa city we
go and how are things looking for Patrick Mahomes and
the Chiefs after they get back in the win column.
So it's happy days are here again and happy days
(11:01):
are here again. Now this is exactly what the old
doctor ordered there for Big Red Andy Reid. They had
not scored more than twenty three points, they being the
Chiefs all season, and then they drop a thirty seven
burger on top of the Baltimore Ravens pathetic defense. Mahomes
could have been wearing a Hawaiian shirt out there sipping
a Mi tie during the game. That's how little resistance
(11:24):
he faced by the Baltimore defense. And it's like Mark Twain,
the famous quote attributed to Mark Twain, you don't know
who that is, bad job by your teachers. But the
famous quote is the reports of the chief's death are
greatly exaggerated. Everyone buried them. And then Kansas City shows up.
They had the oxygen, they had the defibrillator ready to go.
(11:45):
There they zapped some life back into their season with
that win over the Ravens and all those think pieces.
The endless think piece is the dynasty is over. Down
goes Kansas City. Not so fat, that's my friend, Not
so fast, not yet, as the Kansas City able to
get their mojoe back at least for a day. And
(12:07):
they were surgical in this game. Seven scoring drives out
of nine, seven out of nine scoring drives, and they
had one punt, only won and missed a long field goal.
That's it. That's like Tiger Woods in his prime. Seven
of nine.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And you know, parror better on every hole, par better
on every hole for the team from from Kansas City
and the little things. Four to four on fourth down,
My computer, like man tells me that's one hundred percent,
which is I'm told is good. And it's not like
trust the process. It's not that that's says that's stepping
on someone's throat when you go four to four on
(12:47):
fourth down the red zone almost seventy percent sixty seven
percent in the red zone. They had actually finishing drives,
not settling for all field goals here. And then you
got the Kansas City defense and you said, well, what's
going on with that well. Derreck Henry, who had been
the big bad Wolf of the NFL and years pasty
(13:08):
and neither hear sekwon Barkley's playing all that well this year.
Don't tell anybody, but Derrick Henry, the big bad Wolf
again boxed up like a clearance item at over the
Christmas Holidays, which are coming up forty two rushing yards now.
To be fair, the Ravens didn't run the ball that
much because they were getting smoked. They were being pull
axed by Kansas City in this game. But that's a
(13:30):
shut off vault, a valve for the defense there. For
the Chiefs, they shut down, turned the shut off valve
on there, and for all the funeral funeral potatoes that
were being baked there. For the Chiefs, this game was
a big shut up type moment for them. Now you
got to follow it up. You know, they're not dead.
(13:52):
They're not dead. They just needed the Ravens to show up.
And then all of a sudden, the Ravens showed up,
and the red carpet was rolled out right this way,
right this way, step bought up, step bought up, And
you're gonna feel really good, really good. Now if you
look at the Chiefs, and this win, you need to
start stacking wins, right They always say we got stack wins? Well, okay,
(14:13):
is that a doable thing? Kansas City has run the gauntlet.
They had to play the Chargers, the Eagles. Now you
mix this game in with the Baltimore Ravens. They also
had the Giants, which is a cupcake. But Julia ahead
him it's manageable. Next week the Chiefs play Jacksonville, and
even though Jacksonville has a nice record, we still don't
(14:37):
take them seriously. Then they have a showdown with the Lions.
That'll be a tough one. That's at Arrowhead, I believe.
And then they have the Raiders. So two of the
next three are certainly winnable games. And even the Lions game,
when you have Mahomes, it's always a winnable game in
that particular situation. Now, meanwhile, as we turn the page
from Kansas City, we go to Jersey mentioned the Giants.
(14:57):
Here the Giants upset Jim Harbor Chargers. The question New
York rookie quarterback Jackson Dart the toast of the Big Apple. Here,
his debut as a starter described as quote impressive, do
you agree or disagree that Jackson Dart in his first
start with the Giants was impressive. So I saw this
(15:21):
and it caught my attention as are you kidding me?
Are you bloody kidding me? Here? That was not impressive.
That's not the word I would use. My word for
Jackson Dart and his debut there was sufficient but not impressive.
He was adequate. Jackson Dart was adequate. He didn't hit
the middle of the dart board. He was on the
(15:41):
dark board, but he didn't hit the middle part of it.
His longest completion was eighteen yards in the game. That's it.
Jackson Dart averaged five point six yards per pass attempt.
He was sacked five times. He was sacked five times.
He coughed up a fumble which he did recover, but
he fumbled the ball. So that's that's impressive. Really, people
(16:03):
calling that impressive? How is that impressive? Come on now, now,
Jackson Dart did have fifty four yards rushing, which is fine.
I'm not gonna sit here and spit a loogie at
fifty four yards rushing. However, when your rushing average is
almost identical to your yards per passe attempt, which this is,
by the way, that's generally not good. That generally is
(16:25):
not all that good. And so it's not a guy
who's tipping the bar. And you know, it's like, come on,
he just he did enough. That's it, and that's where
we're gonna leave it here. And the expectations were if
they were any lower for a New York Giants quarterback,
(16:46):
then they'd be buried six feet under. Like that's how
pathetic the Giants are that Jackson Dart didn't really play
all that well. But it's like, oh, well, you look good.
Oh my god, he's so good. No, he's not. This
was the Giant. It's essentially saying, hey, just don't get
in the way. Justin Herbert's giving us the game. Justin
Herbert's handing us the game. He's gift wrapped it like
(17:09):
he's one of the elves. For Santa claus And ten points.
Two red zone turnovers by Justin Herbert, two turnovers deep
inside when I said red zone, giving the Giants the
ball deep inside Chargerr territory, both of them, both of
them within the five yard line, and that set up
(17:31):
the Giants off it. The Giants scored eleven points without
Justin Herbert handing the game and handing the football to
the Giants. Without that, they scored eleven points. That's it.
So let's not sit here and rewrite history on what happened.
Jackson Dart was not great, right, He wasn't good. He
wasn't even above average. He was passable. And that's how
(17:56):
bad the Giants quarterbacks have been. That passable gets you
a little ting You will tingle because you got passable,
like moving man, our buddy the movie man's all excited
because he's all this is great and all this stuff,
and again it was. It was just it wasn't above average.
It was just kind of passable, that was it, and
not impressible, ordinary, middling. Those are other words we could use.

Now back to it all, right, back to it we go.
Baseball season is over. The playoffs begin here shortly. And
also we have a full card in the NFL. The
bye week start next week, so there will not be
(21:10):
a full card of games next week the bye week's begin.
We mentioned this earlier, the hair brain plan. It was
announced during the Sunday night game that Bad Bunny will
play the Super Bowl halftime show in Northern California. Yes,
Bad Bunny is going to perform. Didn't you pick? Did
(21:31):
you pick Taylor Swift?
Speaker 6 (21:32):
I did No. I wanted Miley Cyrus. I wanted Smiley Miley.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So of course everything's politically. So people are upset with
Bad Bunny because Bad Bunny, I guess, was not performing
concerts in America.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
He purposely skipped the American Yes Tour.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So why why is he going to be at the
super Bowl. I believe it's being played at America. I
think I know.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
I was also confused that seems.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Whatever. I don't I'm not, I don't. I never watched
the halftime show anyway. The only time, and I didn't
even watch this was when Janet Jackson showed her boobies
the game in Houston, and it became this whole big
thing where Maiola they put the delay in. It was
like a whole big deal. You know. That was like,
oh my god, what a nightmare because it affected my life,
(22:20):
you know, because I didn't worry about the damn delay
and all that.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
And yeah, well unlike you, Ben, Yes, she actually did
only watch the Super Bowl for the halftime anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
You know, you're a real fan.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Now, now I am a fan. You should have seen
me watching that game tonight.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Four on four. You're like four defenders four offensive players. Now,
it is interesting to know the chatter, and chatter's never wrong.
Here is that the NFL did offer the halftime show
to Taylor Swift, which she turned down. She was going
to do it, but she would not do it unless
she got paid. The NFL does not pay for the
(22:54):
halftime show.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Oh it's I read that.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
It wasn't so much just wanted to get and she
wanted like the rights to the Well, she refuses to do.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It for free. But the problem is if she if
they had paid her, then every to pay everyone, right, Yeah, exactly,
so we don't want to pay.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
You never going to happen because you know, people do
it for free because you know it's you know, promotion.
But she doesn't need that. She's got the best selling
tour of all time.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Like I saw the tabloids said that she was in
our She was in Santa Barbara, which is just north
of US, and she was at the US a big
celebrity wedding over the weekend or something.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Is she married Benny Blanco?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh okay, I don't know who those people are, but
wonderful for happening for them.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
She's Taylor's this best friend from Disney Channel growing up.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Okay, yeah, big wedding there mon by them.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
I'll play it next.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
They say Santa Barbara, but it's Monacito. That's where all
the really wealthy people. Have you ever been to Montecito?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
No, I've never been to Santa Barbara either. I want
to take that train.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I'm not even allowed to go and look at Monacito.
There's so much money there it's insane. It's like I'm
not even allowed to look at it when I go
through there. But anyway, so, yeah, Taylor Swift could have
done the halftime things. She said, I don't need it.
I'm good on that. Also, the Irish welcome we'll get
to that coming up in a couple of minutes. Let's
go to the phones low and we say hello to
homeless Mike in Tempe. What's going on, homeless Mike?

What's going on? Ben? So anyways, my thing is is
the Dodger is going to win the Road Series this

even pretend. Well, I mean, I know the Dodgers are not.
The Dodgers are not winning the World Series this year.
They're not. They're not. They're not that good. This is
(28:19):
an underachieving Dodger team.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
They have a chance.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
They have a chance to do it because they're in
the playoffs. This is not a World Series championship level
baseball team. They're bullpen blows. They're two inconsistent on offense.
That's not a championship team. Now are they all of
a sudden, you know, flip the switch in the playoffs?
They did that last year. He usually doesn't happen two
years in a row.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
My other thing is to you, what do you think
about the Rams? Do it this year?

change your allegiance. This year will be Pipe Blair? What's

Speaker 8 (29:17):
The Panthers nickname suck?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Carolina Panthers suck, They suck. They're terrible. It's a man.
And by the way, Carolina did have more yards than
the Patriots in that game. I'm just saying last Hey,

Speaker 10 (29:32):
They beat the last game. Yeah, they beat Atlanta, So
that wasn't a bad game by them beating Atlanta, Carolina Panthers,
so they actually losing to the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (37:37):

Speaker 4 (37:54):
To the third degree? This is one big ben get
square all.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Right, Cooper? What do we have no better?
Speaker 7 (38:03):
A few days ago, you said you were not impressed
with the Seahawks win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
No I was not.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
No, it's got a lot of people talking playoffs Seahawks.
I know you weren't impressed. But do you think sam
Donold and the Seahawks make it to the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
No, I don't, although the NFC is No. I mean,
I see a lot of mediocrity in the NFL, I do.
I just I don't think Seattle is all that good.
I know they won the game and all that, and
we had them in the you know, Benny versus the Penny.
They won three in a row, but I'm not overly impressed.
They beat three bad teams. They beat the Steelers, who
(38:39):
I don't think are that are averaged only the bad
They're average. The Saints are a bad team. The Cardinals
are a bad team. Now, if Seattle beats Tampa Bay,
that's that's that'd be a decent win. So, I mean,
they played the Rams twice, so I'm not there yet
on Seattle.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
Next, well, speaking of the Rams. Before the Rams game
against the Colts, Colts safety Cameron bind Him accused the
Rams of pumping fake crowds.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
It just so fire Stadium. Ben, you were at that,
guess I was. Did you hear any fake crowd noise?
Speaker 4 (39:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
It was one of the rare times I actually saw
mostly Rams fans. Like normally, there's always tons of fans
of the other team. I didn't see that many Colts fans.
Speaker 8 (39:15):
I was.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I was surprised by that. I you know, walking around
I usually see when the Broncos played the Chargers, I
know it was a Charger game. I saw tons of Broncos.
I didn't see that many Colts jerseys. So, but teams
do do that. I'm not I didn't hear that though.
Speaker 11 (39:29):
Next all right, the Red Sox clinched a playoff Berth
on Friday, and afterwards Alex Korra said, uh, nobody thought
we were a playoff team. Bend you did you think
they were a playoff team?
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Well, they weren't a lock. But it's not like the
Red Sox always should be in the plus the Boston
Red Sox. What are you doing? How do we do it? Coops?
Is anyway put it on the moon. I won the game.
That's a win.
