Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. We're hanging out
here talking about Monday Night football, the Saints and the
Carolina Panthers. Carolina off to the zero and two start
the better story always in the losing locker room? Are
they having regrets about hiring Frank Reich as the coach?
And how do you grade the number one overall? Pick
(00:23):
Bryce Young two games in to his less than stellar
NFL career. Also the Saints, they're two and zero. Are
you impressed? And what do you make of Derek Carr,
the X Raider who's now in charge with the Saints.
We'll talk about all of that and more right now here.
It is our number two. Not ready for prime time?
(00:50):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere ordinary people,
as we unplug coast to coast, border the border and beyond.
On the mast and tremendously powerful microphones of fs are
(01:12):
emmundating live from the Brew as we serve up a
witch's brew of hot takes. We are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installars. We
(01:35):
are told that is a lot tiraq dot com the
way tire buying should be double barrel action. On a
Monday Night Last Hour, we ranted and raved about the
Pittsburgh Steelers being given a gift. There are multiple ways
to win games. Occasionally you can just be handed the
(01:55):
game by another team. That's what happened for Pittsburgh there.
The Cleveland Brown said, we don't deserve this game, we
don't want this game. Take the game, Please take the game.
And that's exactly what the Steelers did is Deshaun Watson,
single handedly, the one man wrecking crew, gave the game
to the Pittsburgh Steers. How great is that to see
(02:16):
Deshaun Watson, that creepster sucking in the NFL. But there
was another game, and that would be the early matchup
here our league coming from Tobacco Road, double header action.
As we said, Monday night football, the early game in Charlotte.
A lot of excitement there. This is the new Carolina Panthers.
They got their franchise quarterback. Now, okay, if you were
(02:40):
watching or not, someone named Tony Jones Junior, We're not
sure who that is we leave it's a running back.
He scored a couple of touchdowns, and rookie Blake Groopie,
he's a groupie Blake group. He kicked a couple of
field goals, and the New Orleans Saints beat the Panthers
twenty to seventeen in a game that was not that
(03:01):
close Monday night there so they improved to two to
zero for the first time in a decade. The New
Orleans Saints are off to the two and oh start,
and Jones came in Tony Jones Junior, replacing Jamal Williams,
who was supposed to be the man, the myth, the legend.
The first half he ran for thirty four yards on
twelve carries. So anyway, get to the point here. The
(03:23):
better story is in the losing locker room. Carolina was
not supposed to be good this year, and they are
off to the kind of start you expected. Zero to two,
sitting at the very bottom looking up at the took
us of everyone in the NFC South. Losing to the
Falcons in the opener, now going down to the Saints.
So a couple of divisional games, let us discuss the question,
(03:48):
are the Carolina Panthers. Are the Carolina Panthers right now
having regrets about hiring Frank Reich as their head coach?
So yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes they are having regrets.
And if they're not having regrets, well there needs to
be some kind of internal investigation. I've got Hashlinger, fast Lane,
(04:10):
and Santa's nice List, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
slice of pie, which is what the New Orleans Saints had.
They had that king cake, not even pie, they kingcake.
And then maybe they found that little baby there in
the Kingcake, but they celebrated that win. So to begin here,
(04:35):
we'll combine all these things together. But number one, yes,
if the football team in the Carolinas is not looking
around the room saying what have we done here? That
is what's known as malfeasance. Carolina is playing Frank Reich's
brand of football. You can't say they are not playing
(04:57):
Frank Reich's brand of football. They are. His finger prints
are all over this squad. They have an offense that
is barf bagworthy. Yeah, get a little doggy bag and
fillip with barf. It's it was a three dog night.
For the Carolina Panthers in this game. They had miscues, penalties,
and mental errors ding ding ding ding ding, Yet all
(05:20):
of them and Frank Wright's coached long enough in the
NFL where you have the book of Frank and to
be Frank. The book of Frank is very dull. It
lacks the rasmatazz, does not have that. The the team
logo might be different. They've changed the team logo, the
(05:43):
colors are different now, but Frank Wright at his core
is still the same hashlinger serving up milk toast. It's
like watching grassgrow. Watching the Carolina Panthers on offense here,
it's just plain. You go to the ice cream shop,
you just get vanilla bean. That's it. You get nothing else,
(06:04):
No toppings, no little sprinkles on top, no soyrup. Is
just vanilla. That's all you get. How bad was it well, Carolina?
If you saw the first game, Carolina two hundred and
thirty nine yards of offense. They had fourteen first downs,
which in comparison to the Steelers looks pretty impressive, but
two of those came via penalty gifted by the New
(06:28):
Orleans football team. And then that late touchdowns drive where
Carolina La la la la la la la la la
la la la. They marched down the field. It was
a two score game, but they it was like they
were treating it like practice, not a real game. They
were treating it like practice. I don't even give them
credit for that, because New Orleans was like, Okay, if
(06:50):
you want to throw these little short four or five
yard passes, we'll let you do that. We'll even let
you score a touchdown. We don't give a crap. Knock
yourself out all right now, page two. Here we must
get to the Komodo dragon in the room, the number
one umber overall pick, the prize of prizes. The Carolina
(07:12):
football team traded up to get the right to draft
anybody they wanted at quarterback with the number one pick.
They gave the Chicago Bears a bag full of draft picks.
They said, this is our time, this is our window.
We need a franchise messiah. And so they scouted all
the quarterbacks. They looked at all the different players that
(07:33):
were available, and they chose the prodigy, the chosen one,
the face of the franchise. And how's that working out
for Bryce Young? Yeah? How do you agrade Bryce Young?
After two games in his NFL career. So the Malor
report card, the only report card record, the Malor report
(07:56):
card for Bryce Young. He gets and F he gets
the F. Wow, looks completely overmatched? Am I wrong? Have
you seen these games? It's fascinating to watch a guy
that was so in control at Alabama and now you
(08:19):
look at him and you're like, WHOA, what is what
the heck is I mean, what is this? I mean,
what are we doing? It's wild? Completely overmatched here, the
flop sweat and the Saints. Listen. The Saints have a
good defense. They do. Let's not get carried away here.
(08:43):
I don't think this is the reincarnation of the Great
Ravens defense of two thousand, of the Chicago Bears, monsters
of the Midway of the nineteen eighties. I look at
Trey Young and he right now is speeding down the
fast lane on Suck Avenue, and he's going as fast
as he can. There's no speed limbits like the Autobahn. Now,
(09:05):
we used to have a guy that called us from
the Autobama, but we scared him away. He doesn't call him. Yeah,
but a massive failure here, and this is not some
fourth round draft pick out of Central Michigan. This is
a guy that played in all the big games for
Nick Saban at Alabama, and wow, he looks like a
(09:26):
floundering fish out of water. You take him out of tuscalosid.
I was thinking about this watching Alabama play over the
weekend against the South Florida which is not in South Florida,
But watching that game, is there any way that we
can go back in the hot tup time machine and
Bryce Young can go back to Alabama and save Nick
(09:48):
Saban and the Carolina Panthers will be saved as well,
because he'll have somebody else playing quarterback who actually has
a pulse man. There is just no spark thing. And
he said, oh, Ziero's a couple of games. And it
is a couple of games, and you have to go
through the season, the progressions and all that. But two
games into Bryce Young's career in the NFL, he's averaging
(10:12):
four point two yards per pass. To put that in perspective,
in the history of the NFL, two games in the
four point two yards per pass is the third worst
in the history of the sport. Well, he'll get better.
There's no guarantee he gets better. You gotta think he's
(10:34):
gonna get I didn't think it would be this bad.
I thought it would be some rough edge. I thought
I expected Carolina, you just get an average quarterback performance
out of Bryce Young. You win that game. The Saints
were plump for the taking. They were plump for the
taking right there. Didn't get it done, did not get
it done. And so you look at this and it's
it's it's early, but it's kind of getting late early.
As we've been saying the theme of the early part
(10:56):
of the season, it is something knocks you off your rocker.
It does. I mean the Panthers, they've lost two divisional
games and there is no sign of hope. You've got
a coach that that is boring, You've got a quarterback
that looks like you can't play. That's the Carolina Panthers.
I hope, I hope your tickets are refundable, because man,
(11:17):
the degree of difficulty. Who horrible? All right, now, final points.
So let's go to the winner side. Winners. Now the
better story is in the losing locker room. But we
will go to the winner side. And now the New
Orleans Saints are too and oh we to and o
the New Orleans Saints. Are you impressed? Are you in pressed?
(11:39):
With the New Orleans Saints? So let me combine a
couple of letters together. I can I get in on
the wheel of fortune? Can I get an OH and
an N? And I'll put the end first? How about
N plus oh? And that gives me no? How about that?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I have high standards. I do. You might not think
I have high standards doing the Overnight Show, but I
do have ice standards I do, And the New Orleans
Saints have been on Santa's nice list. That's what I
will say about the New Orleans Saints at this point
that in Week one, that game was given to them
because Ryan Tannehill was not prepared to play in an
(12:16):
NFL game. It wasn't tremendous defensive plays by the New
Orleans secondary. It was incompetence football and competence by the
Tennessee Titans and led by Ryan Tannehill that gave not one,
not two, but three room service interceptions to the Saints defense.
And then in Week two here we just saw it
on Monday night. Bryce Young looks like he needs a therapist.
(12:39):
He can't play. He sucks right now. And so that's
where we are and then on the other side the
Saints are two and oh, are you impressed with Derek Carr. No,
Derek Carr is the same guy he was with the Raiders.
It's like that old thing we said about the leopard, right,
the leopard can't change its spots and Derek Carr as
seen on TV. As seen on TV, there's consistency with
(13:04):
Derek Carr that he'll have the occasional really good game.
He reminds me of a poor man's Michael Vick. Michael
Vick was like this when he played back in the day,
where he'd be really really good for four or five games,
he'd be really really bad for five or six games,
and then the rest he'd be somewhere in the middle.
(13:24):
And that's where Derek Carr is like. For a few games,
Derek carrill play really well. We haven't seen that yet
as a New Orleans Saint, but you'll have real snakers.
He was dreadful in this game in the first half,
although I would put this one in the mediocre category,
not the He can play much worse and will play
much worse than this. So the NFC South, which is
a dumpster division, You've got three teams that are off
(13:47):
to two and oh starts. Atlanta, New Orleans, and Tampa
Bay are all off to two and oh starts. Does
that mean we were wrong about the NFC South. No, Now,
look at the teams these these clubs have played. Atlanta
played Carolina, bad team played the Packers, mediocre team won
those two games. New Orleans, Tennessee Game of the game, Carolina,
(14:07):
check check. The one that's the most impressive is Tampa Bay.
They are the most impressive because they did beat the
Vikings of the Vikings, they have their their mastery of
suckage and then they ended up coming back Tampa Bay
and winning a game and the Bears. Is not that
the Viking win is the most impressive in the division.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to

Speaker 1 (15:55):
There is no such thing as home field advantage does
not exist. Road teams nineteen and thirteen so far this year.
If that sounds like that's a lot of road wins.
Two weeks into the season, we are told that is
the most road wins overall, not against the spread, although
(16:16):
against the spread, I think they're even better than that.
She just picked road teams. Anyway, through two weeks of
the season, most road wins in the wild card era,
which goes back over a generation to the year nineteen ninety.
So we are talking all things NFL here as we
hang out with you all night long. The Midnight Walker
(16:37):
writes in from Syracuse. He says, the Panthers hissed the Saints.
They did pray, but things came out occasion way. Rank
Reich used to be good, So why does he suck?
Because Bryce Young? He's no Andrew Luck. Late night drug

every week. It's called gambling. You should know that. Of
all people, it's you're wagering on the NFL games. And
you only can go on what what has happened, which
doesn't guarantee it's going to happen again. You base your numbers,
are handicapping on what you have seen and what you
have observed, and then weird crap happens.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Hey, big big shout out man, Bay City Tony out there.
He's keeping up my picks. I'm doing okay this year.

Hey, what's up them that Rams?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Now? At least at least the Rams don't. I'll give
them this. They they competed with the forty nine ers.
The Niners are a much better team than the Rams.
But at least the Rams didn't in the last year
they would have given up and lost that game by
three touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Bet I had a Boston button, a half cut of
Ribs weekend for all that football. And I'm gonna tell

Speaker 7 (21:47):
I heard that Bobby Bouten and Philip River special right.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
There now, Man's I gotta be more relatable to the
wild life Southern boy.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
That's in place of saying a bad, blasphemous word.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh, I understand. I understand why you say the word rather.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Than asked me all the time I said, Man, where
are you from? I said, I'm Markansas. That's all. I
got it all.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Hey, you got an They don't say you're from Seattle.
They said you're from Arkansas. It's a dead giveaway New York.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
When I lived in New York, they had phone that boy.
They said, man, where are you from?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Matter of fact, have you got any stations out in Portland, Oregon?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yes, we're on the radio in Portland right now.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Cool because something might happen. If it does, I want
to make sure I know how to get host.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Are you going to be moving to Portland. Just saddle
air now, all right, we're gonna be quiet. We're in
the radio. I gotta be quiet here.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
You know, six, let me he's six. Let me go
on houseam give it an old blow up man, I
ain't heard a long time. Did you come on here?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What do I need to do? Well? Roberto used to
blow up? Yeah, wild eyed Southern boy?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Thank you Eddie here. I thought he meant with like
a horn or something.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
He sounds similar to Sirius Sean wild eyed Southern boy.
They have the same cadence, they have the same delivery,
very similar. No, not quiet. It's kind of nice having
an in studio audience here. Absolutely, it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Not a baud.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
He's been a great guest.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, he hates you, though he told me he told
off the record. Anyway, all right, it is the Ben
Maler Show. As we continue on and straight ahead, straight ahead,
the hibernation situation and our friend Chris and des Moines
and all the other Chicago Bear fans may want to
just open up that bottle of whiskey right now to
(23:30):
be prepared. We'll get to that, but let's get you
caught up on everything going on in the old over
Night and here he is wearing his Pittsburgh Seelers cap,
the Merman Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And and the TJ. Watt shirt.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I can't see that you're I can only see your head.
You're talking. That's all I can see because I'm higher
up here in this studio.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It's weird how they did that have a longer torso?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Perhaps are you talking about.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
You're tall, so you're gonna have a longer tors than Eddie, right.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
But I don't think that's why he's higher.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Up though I measure tors.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I have been told that I am proportional that my torso.
I don't you know some people have really long legs
and then like a short torso or vice versa.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, Like I'm kind of where you're supposed to be.
Like the balance is there, it's not perfect.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
But giving your relative height though, to Eddie, I would
say you're probably you just you're looking down on Eddie
because you just have a longer torso.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Is I'm looking down on Eddie because whoever built the studio,
Steve Harvey and Rush Limbaughs set it up this way
decline and that's it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I am just lower over here.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I don't know whys is like I'm above lower?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Now you are?
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Are you above me? I think you're because you're standing up,
so you're above me. No, I'm not standing right now.
Right here's me standing all of you. But if I
stand up now, yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm not standing up.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Serious is even taller than you're standing?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
U I'm not standing up?
Speaker 3 (25:01):

Brewers were shut up.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
The Cardinals hold on, hold on one Cardinals of the Brewers.
Dodgers beat the Tigers eight to three. What is your fun?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
So in that Philadelphia Phillies game, Kyle Schwarber hit his
forty fifth home run of the air Well, that's not
that fun, completely out of truest park in Atlanta, four
hundred and eighty three feet home. That was the disc
truest park. I don't even know what that is. Is
that a banker?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's news to me? I never, I did not know that.
Did not know that.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
He did know that they moved to a new ballpark
like two years ago.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I knew they were in a new ballpark, which is
kind of seemed kind of silly.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
But you got to see. You got to see this
home run. It's insane.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
He hit it out of the ball Guarantee me, I'll
be impressed.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yes, Yeah, that reminded me of back when I was
betting the Bopper Boy and I would hit those movies shots.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
He never hit one of those oh.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Man, that was majestic, right over the cores lights sign
out there and the roof balanced. Everyone was in shock.
Even Ryan Howard was there. He was in shock. He
couldn't believe that's Philly's legend, Ryan Howard. He was impressed.
That's my fun fact that he.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Right, I'm looking it up right, legend. Here it is.
Here's the pitch far there's a swing. He's admiring it
deep to right field. That it is out of the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Isn't that beautiful?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And there's right Howard you were kidding.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
There's the highlight I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And I used to hit those to his daughter there.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, I took my daughter. Yeah. They gave him good seats,
unlike the Kao Sykes had front row seats. That's true
to watch these.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
He had a great view of the bottom of the
upper deck though.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, it was majestic. It was very majestic. Is the

(27:55):
doesn't get much more impressive than this. Justin Field, So
the Chicago we have a hybernation situation for Justin Fields
of the Chicago Bears Fields has now been sacked ten
times this season. They've only played two games. Nine of
those sacks, we are told, have happened after four or
(28:17):
more seconds. Now is a general rule of thumb, if
you know anything about football, if you have four seconds
or more, you're holding the ball for too long that
you're supposed to get the football and get rid of
the football, that you are just passing the baton to
somebody else. And this has been the argument that we've
made in the past, and people have ignored us, and
(28:39):
the idiots on television blame the fat guys playing the
offensive line. Blame the fat guys. So justin Fields he
has no concept of just getting rid of the ball
and if there's no one open, just throw it away.
You're better off throwing away than taking a sack. So
he's been sacked ten times, nine of them have come
after four or more seconds of time to throw the ball.
(29:00):
Since twenty twenty one, Is it true that justin Fields
of your Chicago Bears has taken seventy nine sacks with
four or more seconds. That is sixteen more than any
other quarterback in the NFL. That is true. What do
(29:21):
you think of that Tony in the Bay Area? Oh,
there are Iowa Sam. Did not have you piled it up?
That's an error on IOWA saying tossed from you? What
do you want me to drag it out?
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Thought you were responding to him on like Twitter or something.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
All right, sorry, that's Iowa Sam, Tony. If you're upset
to anybody that's ioways mixed out of the bus or
Siria Sean, you can be upset with Sirias Sean. He
lives in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
You gotta call her name Bay Tony or something. I
heard another Tony.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Oh that was that was scratch aw Off. He was
saying there was some guy named Tony and another guy
named Tony.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Oh, he doesn't call the show, not that I know of, No,
not that I know. Okay, I got I got a
question for you, gentlemen. When you guys are ever washing
your face and you're rubbing your eyes, you know because
you got him closed. So do you ever see like
images of Charles Manson smiling.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
What, No, I have not. I've not, you know, I
have seen my when I do rub my eyes though,
when I wake up in the afternoon and I put
the water on my face, I do see like colors,
like there's like different colors.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
And resemble Charles Manson.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
How about floaters? Do you ever see any floaters?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Hold on, let me close my eyes. I'm rubbing my
eyes right now. No, let's see. Do you have floaters?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Every once in a while, I'll see like some little
thing floating around and I want you might want to flush?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
My dad had I'm sorry flush he's a bathroom, Joe.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
I Oh, floaters.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
It depends on what you what you eat, right, because
some people is it just people? Some people are predisposed
to do that.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Oh you're floating, sink or float? I think you're depends
so yeah, maybe that's so. If you have less fiber,
it floats, must meybe more fat in your diet. It's
a little floating, Tony.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Your thoughts on this, Tony, I mean I've gotten those before,
but I was just wondering about the Charles Manson thing.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
No, I can't tell you, though, Tony, Pat Pat O'Brien
that used to work here. Swore that that, uh that
Charles Manson listened to Fox Sports Radio. He's dead now,
but he swore that Charlie listened. He was all that, yeah,
that's what he said.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
So there are some there's some good gifts of Charles Manson,
you know, like a jiff or a gift. Yeah, because
he's doing all these different faces. It's like got a
court appearance. It's just crazy crazy, you know, just send
that if you're having to cracked out day and send one.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Of those that helter skelter. Is that what that is?
Speaker 6 (32:06):
I don't know. It was long after he's been incarcerated.
There's just some appeal or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Tony. You're standing out of trouble, right, Tony, you haven't
been handcuffed recently?
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Uh no, not recently?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah? Good, okay, all right, I'm gonna go okay, all right,
get it all right?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Bye?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
All right. It is the Bane Mailor Show. As we
continue on, I had to get permission with Tony in
the bay. I can't just hang up on Tony. I
have to be allowed to hang up on Tony because
Tony knows people, and I don't want Tony to get upset.
You know, if he gets upset what I was saying,
or you know anybody, I'm okay with that, But me,
I gotta be on good standing.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Should I have someone else start my car when I
leave for today?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
He's in northern California.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
You're okay.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Plus we got a security guard out there that you
got nothing to worry about. Security.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, I just wake him up and then he'll.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
It is not Penny Wise the clown guessed by Mason
in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
That it's a ridiculous answer. I'm gonna go with former
Arizona Cardinals Legend and Kwan Bolden.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
And Kwan Bolden is that correct? Ron? I can't answer.
Bloom Moon Horizon Eddie Onrey Horizon. Way back in nineteen
ninety four, he was in Atlanta, Atlanta Falcons Legend. We
played for a bunch of other teams. He bounced around
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Here we go, it's Mallard how about that to the
third degree. This is one big Ben gets grail and.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
On Sunday, Josh Jacobs became the first reigning NFL rushing
champs since the merger to finish a game with negative
rushing yards. Now this comes after rushings only forty eight
yards in the opener, Ben, you attribute this to rust
after a whold dout or is it something more?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Well, it's emasculating, but it's the game got away from
the Raiders. There was a team wide malaise for the
Silver and Black against the Buffalo Bills, and they were
bad in the first half and then they packed it
in at halftime. They had to get out of there.
They had to leave early there. But Josh James you
only had nine carries. He was not effective. And the Bills,
who got gashed in the run defense the prior week,
(36:36):
were able to contain Jacobs. But no, it's not I
don't know, it's Russ he has he's not playing well.
That's it.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Next, after the Falcons comeback win against the Packers, head
coach Arthur Smith said that you can see that guy
is believe in him talking about Desmond Ritter.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Haha, Ben, are you starting to believe.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
No, no, I'm starting to believe Atlanta has had some
fortuitous scheduling right now. Good for them. Congratulations Desmond Riddard
number one. Uh, he has been writing shotgun here. He's
not the one rowing the boat. He's not the one
who's who's rowing the boat. He's got pretty mediocre numbers.
It's not like he's been this dynamic quarterback for Atlanta.
(37:16):
And if you look at the Atlanta Falcons, Jon Robinson,
that's the guy that has been moving the needle there.
He's been the one that has been carrying the load
on offense. But it's it's really just been a product
of playing the Panthers and the Packers. That's why the
Falcons are two and oh.
Speaker 9 (37:31):
Next, Sirias Sean's Tampa Bay Bucks are off to a
surprising two and oh start on the season. Are Baker
and the Bucks legit contenders. Sean told me he's wearing
creamsicle underwear. He's so excited to be here. It's it's amazing. No,
listen that the Panther.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Let's say they are the most impressive team in the
NFC South to start the year. But I'm not completely
buying things here again because he's it's still the feeling
out process. I still know that Baker Mayfield will end
up poop the bed before too much longer. Anyway, how
did we do Coop? You failed Baker for MVP. Oh stop, Baker.
(38:07):
I bet you wish you had Baker. You wish you
had Baker in Denver, though I know that you got
a stiff there
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. We're hanging out
here talking about Monday Night football, the Saints and the
Carolina Panthers. Carolina off to the zero and two start
the better story always in the losing locker room? Are
they having regrets about hiring Frank Reich as the coach?
And how do you grade the number one overall? Pick
(00:23):
Bryce Young two games in to his less than stellar
NFL career. Also the Saints, they're two and zero. Are
you impressed? And what do you make of Derek Carr,
the X Raider who's now in charge with the Saints.
We'll talk about all of that and more right now here.
It is our number two. Not ready for prime time?
(00:50):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere ordinary people,
as we unplug coast to coast, border the border and beyond.
On the mast and tremendously powerful microphones of fs are

(01:35):
are told that is a lot tiraq dot com the
way tire buying should be double barrel action. On a
Monday Night Last Hour, we ranted and raved about the
Pittsburgh Steelers being given a gift. There are multiple ways
to win games. Occasionally you can just be handed the
(01:55):
game by another team. That's what happened for Pittsburgh there.
The Cleveland Brown said, we don't deserve this game, we
don't want this game. Take the game, Please take the game.
And that's exactly what the Steelers did is Deshaun Watson,
single handedly, the one man wrecking crew, gave the game
to the Pittsburgh Steers. How great is that to see
(02:16):
Deshaun Watson, that creepster sucking in the NFL. But there
was another game, and that would be the early matchup
here our league coming from Tobacco Road, double header action.
As we said, Monday night football, the early game in Charlotte.
A lot of excitement there. This is the new Carolina Panthers.
They got their franchise quarterback. Now, okay, if you were
(02:40):
watching or not, someone named Tony Jones Junior, We're not
sure who that is we leave it's a running back.
He scored a couple of touchdowns, and rookie Blake Groopie,
he's a groupie Blake group. He kicked a couple of
field goals, and the New Orleans Saints beat the Panthers
twenty to seventeen in a game that was not that
(03:01):
close Monday night there so they improved to two to
zero for the first time in a decade. The New
Orleans Saints are off to the two and oh start,
and Jones came in Tony Jones Junior, replacing Jamal Williams,
who was supposed to be the man, the myth, the legend.
The first half he ran for thirty four yards on
twelve carries. So anyway, get to the point here. The
(03:23):
better story is in the losing locker room. Carolina was
not supposed to be good this year, and they are
off to the kind of start you expected. Zero to two,
sitting at the very bottom looking up at the took
us of everyone in the NFC South. Losing to the
Falcons in the opener, now going down to the Saints.
So a couple of divisional games, let us discuss the question,
(03:48):
are the Carolina Panthers. Are the Carolina Panthers right now
having regrets about hiring Frank Reich as their head coach?
So yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes they are having regrets.
And if they're not having regrets, well there needs to
be some kind of internal investigation. I've got Hashlinger, fast Lane,
(04:10):
and Santa's nice List, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
slice of pie, which is what the New Orleans Saints had.
They had that king cake, not even pie, they kingcake.
And then maybe they found that little baby there in
the Kingcake, but they celebrated that win. So to begin here,
(04:35):
we'll combine all these things together. But number one, yes,
if the football team in the Carolinas is not looking
around the room saying what have we done here? That
is what's known as malfeasance. Carolina is playing Frank Reich's
brand of football. You can't say they are not playing
(04:57):
Frank Reich's brand of football. They are. His finger prints
are all over this squad. They have an offense that
is barf bagworthy. Yeah, get a little doggy bag and
fillip with barf. It's it was a three dog night.
For the Carolina Panthers in this game. They had miscues, penalties,
and mental errors ding ding ding ding ding, Yet all
(05:20):
of them and Frank Wright's coached long enough in the
NFL where you have the book of Frank and to
be Frank. The book of Frank is very dull. It
lacks the rasmatazz, does not have that. The the team
logo might be different. They've changed the team logo, the
(05:43):
colors are different now, but Frank Wright at his core
is still the same hashlinger serving up milk toast. It's
like watching grassgrow. Watching the Carolina Panthers on offense here,
it's just plain. You go to the ice cream shop,
you just get vanilla bean. That's it. You get nothing else,
(06:04):
No toppings, no little sprinkles on top, no soyrup. Is
just vanilla. That's all you get. How bad was it well, Carolina?
If you saw the first game, Carolina two hundred and
thirty nine yards of offense. They had fourteen first downs,
which in comparison to the Steelers looks pretty impressive, but
two of those came via penalty gifted by the New
(06:28):
Orleans football team. And then that late touchdowns drive where
Carolina La la la la la la la la la
la la la. They marched down the field. It was
a two score game, but they it was like they
were treating it like practice, not a real game. They
were treating it like practice. I don't even give them
credit for that, because New Orleans was like, Okay, if
(06:50):
you want to throw these little short four or five
yard passes, we'll let you do that. We'll even let
you score a touchdown. We don't give a crap. Knock
yourself out all right now, page two. Here we must
get to the Komodo dragon in the room, the number
one umber overall pick, the prize of prizes. The Carolina
(07:12):
football team traded up to get the right to draft
anybody they wanted at quarterback with the number one pick.
They gave the Chicago Bears a bag full of draft picks.
They said, this is our time, this is our window.
We need a franchise messiah. And so they scouted all
the quarterbacks. They looked at all the different players that
(07:33):
were available, and they chose the prodigy, the chosen one,
the face of the franchise. And how's that working out
for Bryce Young? Yeah? How do you agrade Bryce Young?
After two games in his NFL career. So the Malor
report card, the only report card record, the Malor report
(07:56):
card for Bryce Young. He gets and F he gets
the F. Wow, looks completely overmatched? Am I wrong? Have
you seen these games? It's fascinating to watch a guy
that was so in control at Alabama and now you
(08:19):
look at him and you're like, WHOA, what is what
the heck is I mean, what is this? I mean,
what are we doing? It's wild? Completely overmatched here, the
flop sweat and the Saints. Listen. The Saints have a
good defense. They do. Let's not get carried away here.
(08:43):
I don't think this is the reincarnation of the Great
Ravens defense of two thousand, of the Chicago Bears, monsters
of the Midway of the nineteen eighties. I look at
Trey Young and he right now is speeding down the
fast lane on Suck Avenue, and he's going as fast
as he can. There's no speed limbits like the Autobahn. Now,
(09:05):
we used to have a guy that called us from
the Autobama, but we scared him away. He doesn't call him. Yeah,
but a massive failure here, and this is not some
fourth round draft pick out of Central Michigan. This is
a guy that played in all the big games for
Nick Saban at Alabama, and wow, he looks like a
(09:26):
floundering fish out of water. You take him out of tuscalosid.
I was thinking about this watching Alabama play over the
weekend against the South Florida which is not in South Florida,
But watching that game, is there any way that we
can go back in the hot tup time machine and
Bryce Young can go back to Alabama and save Nick
(09:48):
Saban and the Carolina Panthers will be saved as well,
because he'll have somebody else playing quarterback who actually has
a pulse man. There is just no spark thing. And
he said, oh, Ziero's a couple of games. And it
is a couple of games, and you have to go
through the season, the progressions and all that. But two
games into Bryce Young's career in the NFL, he's averaging
(10:12):
four point two yards per pass. To put that in perspective,
in the history of the NFL, two games in the
four point two yards per pass is the third worst
in the history of the sport. Well, he'll get better.
There's no guarantee he gets better. You gotta think he's
(10:34):
gonna get I didn't think it would be this bad.
I thought it would be some rough edge. I thought
I expected Carolina, you just get an average quarterback performance
out of Bryce Young. You win that game. The Saints
were plump for the taking. They were plump for the
taking right there. Didn't get it done, did not get
it done. And so you look at this and it's
it's it's early, but it's kind of getting late early.
As we've been saying the theme of the early part
(10:56):
of the season, it is something knocks you off your rocker.
It does. I mean the Panthers, they've lost two divisional
games and there is no sign of hope. You've got
a coach that that is boring, You've got a quarterback
that looks like you can't play. That's the Carolina Panthers.
I hope, I hope your tickets are refundable, because man,
(11:17):
the degree of difficulty. Who horrible? All right, now, final points.
So let's go to the winner side. Winners. Now the
better story is in the losing locker room. But we
will go to the winner side. And now the New
Orleans Saints are too and oh we to and o
the New Orleans Saints. Are you impressed? Are you in pressed?
(11:39):
With the New Orleans Saints? So let me combine a
couple of letters together. I can I get in on
the wheel of fortune? Can I get an OH and
an N? And I'll put the end first? How about
N plus oh? And that gives me no? How about that?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I have high standards. I do. You might not think
I have high standards doing the Overnight Show, but I
do have ice standards I do, And the New Orleans
Saints have been on Santa's nice list. That's what I
will say about the New Orleans Saints at this point
that in Week one, that game was given to them
because Ryan Tannehill was not prepared to play in an
(12:16):
NFL game. It wasn't tremendous defensive plays by the New
Orleans secondary. It was incompetence football and competence by the
Tennessee Titans and led by Ryan Tannehill that gave not one,
not two, but three room service interceptions to the Saints defense.
And then in Week two here we just saw it
on Monday night. Bryce Young looks like he needs a therapist.
(12:39):
He can't play. He sucks right now. And so that's
where we are and then on the other side the
Saints are two and oh, are you impressed with Derek Carr. No,
Derek Carr is the same guy he was with the Raiders.
It's like that old thing we said about the leopard, right,
the leopard can't change its spots and Derek Carr as
seen on TV. As seen on TV, there's consistency with
(13:04):
Derek Carr that he'll have the occasional really good game.
He reminds me of a poor man's Michael Vick. Michael
Vick was like this when he played back in the day,
where he'd be really really good for four or five games,
he'd be really really bad for five or six games,
and then the rest he'd be somewhere in the middle.
(13:24):
And that's where Derek Carr is like. For a few games,
Derek carrill play really well. We haven't seen that yet
as a New Orleans Saint, but you'll have real snakers.
He was dreadful in this game in the first half,
although I would put this one in the mediocre category,
not the He can play much worse and will play
much worse than this. So the NFC South, which is
a dumpster division, You've got three teams that are off
(13:47):
to two and oh starts. Atlanta, New Orleans, and Tampa
Bay are all off to two and oh starts. Does
that mean we were wrong about the NFC South. No, Now,
look at the teams these these clubs have played. Atlanta
played Carolina, bad team played the Packers, mediocre team won
those two games. New Orleans, Tennessee Game of the game, Carolina,
(14:07):
check check. The one that's the most impressive is Tampa Bay.
They are the most impressive because they did beat the
Vikings of the Vikings, they have their their mastery of
suckage and then they ended up coming back Tampa Bay
and winning a game and the Bears. Is not that
the Viking win is the most impressive in the division.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to
be part eight seven seven ninety nine on fucks, I
(14:30):
wasn't supposed to give out the number. Dump that, IOWA,
so he'll be right on that. You will dump that.
No one will hear that, but you can be part
of this again. You didn't hear the number. I just
dumped the number and you can hit us up on
the phones also on the X machine at Ben Malor.
That is at Ben Mahlor if you'd like to be

There is no such thing as home field advantage does
not exist. Road teams nineteen and thirteen so far this year.
If that sounds like that's a lot of road wins.
Two weeks into the season, we are told that is
the most road wins overall, not against the spread, although
(16:16):
against the spread, I think they're even better than that.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well, listen, I had a bad week. You can't win
every week. It's called gambling. You should know that. Of
all people, it's you're wagering on the NFL games. And
you only can go on what what has happened, which
doesn't guarantee it's going to happen again. You base your numbers,
are handicapping on what you have seen and what you
have observed, and then weird crap happens.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Hey, big big shout out man, Bay City Tony out there.
He's keeping up my picks. I'm doing okay this year.

Now? At least at least the Rams don't. I'll give
them this. They they competed with the forty nine ers.
The Niners are a much better team than the Rams.
But at least the Rams didn't in the last year
they would have given up and lost that game by
three touchdowns.

Ribs weekend for all that football. And I'm gonna tell

when you're farming the LEAs, houses and tires, they all
got their different smells this year, smell like a house.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I gotta, I gotta steal that word. Dad gum. I
need to work that into my lexicon. Dad gum gum.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
I heard that Bobby Bouten and Philip River special right.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
There now, Man's I gotta be more relatable to the
wild life Southern boy.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
That's in place of saying a bad, blasphemous word.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh, I understand. I understand why you say the word rather.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Than asked me all the time I said, Man, where
are you from? I said, I'm Markansas. That's all. I
got it all.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Hey, you got an They don't say you're from Seattle.
They said you're from Arkansas. It's a dead giveaway New York.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
When I lived in New York, they had phone that boy.
They said, man, where are you from?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Matter of fact, have you got any stations out in Portland, Oregon?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yes, we're on the radio in Portland right now.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Cool because something might happen. If it does, I want
to make sure I know how to get host.
Speaker 1 (22:24):

air now, all right, we're gonna be quiet. We're in
the radio. I gotta be quiet here.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
What do I need to do? Well? Roberto used to
blow up? Yeah, wild eyed Southern boy?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Thank you Eddie here. I thought he meant with like
a horn or something.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
He sounds similar to Sirius Sean wild eyed Southern boy.
They have the same cadence, they have the same delivery,
very similar. No, not quiet. It's kind of nice having
an in studio audience here. Absolutely, it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Not a baud.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
He's been a great guest.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, he hates you, though he told me he told
off the record. Anyway, all right, it is the Ben
Maler Show. As we continue on and straight ahead, straight ahead,
the hibernation situation and our friend Chris and des Moines
and all the other Chicago Bear fans may want to
just open up that bottle of whiskey right now to
(23:30):
be prepared. We'll get to that, but let's get you
caught up on everything going on in the old over
Night and here he is wearing his Pittsburgh Seelers cap,
the Merman Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And and the TJ. Watt shirt.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I can't see that you're I can only see your head.
You're talking. That's all I can see because I'm higher
up here in this studio.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It's weird how they did that have a longer torso?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Perhaps are you talking about.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
You're tall, so you're gonna have a longer tors than Eddie, right.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
But I don't think that's why he's higher.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Up though I measure tors.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I have been told that I am proportional that my torso.
I don't you know some people have really long legs
and then like a short torso or vice versa.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, Like I'm kind of where you're supposed to be.
Like the balance is there, it's not perfect.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
But giving your relative height though, to Eddie, I would
say you're probably you just you're looking down on Eddie
because you just have a longer torso.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Is I'm looking down on Eddie because whoever built the studio,
Steve Harvey and Rush Limbaughs set it up this way
decline and that's it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I am just lower over here.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I don't know whys is like I'm above lower?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Now you are?
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Are you above me? I think you're because you're standing up,
so you're above me. No, I'm not standing right now.
Right here's me standing all of you. But if I
stand up now, yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 2 (24:55):

forty fifth home run of the air Well, that's not
that fun, completely out of truest park in Atlanta, four
hundred and eighty three feet home. That was the disc
truest park. I don't even know what that is. Is
that a banker?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's news to me? I never, I did not know that.
Did not know that.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
He did know that they moved to a new ballpark
like two years ago.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I knew they were in a new ballpark, which is
kind of seemed kind of silly.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
But you got to see. You got to see this
home run. It's insane.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
He hit it out of the ball Guarantee me, I'll
be impressed.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yes, Yeah, that reminded me of back when I was
betting the Bopper Boy and I would hit those movies shots.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
He never hit one of those oh.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Man, that was majestic, right over the cores lights sign
out there and the roof balanced. Everyone was in shock.
Even Ryan Howard was there. He was in shock. He
couldn't believe that's Philly's legend, Ryan Howard. He was impressed.
That's my fun fact that he.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Right, I'm looking it up right, legend. Here it is.
Here's the pitch far there's a swing. He's admiring it
deep to right field. That it is out of the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Isn't that beautiful?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And there's right Howard you were kidding.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
There's the highlight I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And I used to hit those to his daughter there.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, I took my daughter. Yeah. They gave him good seats,
unlike the Kao Sykes had front row seats. That's true
to watch these.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
He had a great view of the bottom of the
upper deck though.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, it was majestic. It was very majestic. Is the

(27:55):
doesn't get much more impressive than this. Justin Field, So
the Chicago we have a hybernation situation for Justin Fields
of the Chicago Bears Fields has now been sacked ten
times this season. They've only played two games. Nine of
those sacks, we are told, have happened after four or
(28:17):
more seconds. Now is a general rule of thumb, if
you know anything about football, if you have four seconds
or more, you're holding the ball for too long that
you're supposed to get the football and get rid of
the football, that you are just passing the baton to
somebody else. And this has been the argument that we've
made in the past, and people have ignored us, and
(28:39):
the idiots on television blame the fat guys playing the
offensive line. Blame the fat guys. So justin Fields he
has no concept of just getting rid of the ball
and if there's no one open, just throw it away.
You're better off throwing away than taking a sack. So
he's been sacked ten times, nine of them have come
after four or more seconds of time to throw the ball.
(29:00):
Since twenty twenty one, Is it true that justin Fields
of your Chicago Bears has taken seventy nine sacks with
four or more seconds. That is sixteen more than any
other quarterback in the NFL. That is true. What do
(29:21):
you think of that Tony in the Bay Area? Oh,
there are Iowa Sam. Did not have you piled it up?
That's an error on IOWA saying tossed from you? What
do you want me to drag it out?
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Thought you were responding to him on like Twitter or something.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
All right, sorry, that's Iowa Sam, Tony. If you're upset
to anybody that's ioways mixed out of the bus or
Siria Sean, you can be upset with Sirias Sean. He
lives in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
You gotta call her name Bay Tony or something. I
heard another Tony.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Oh that was that was scratch aw Off. He was
saying there was some guy named Tony and another guy
named Tony.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Oh, he doesn't call the show, not that I know of, No,
not that I know. Okay, I got I got a
question for you, gentlemen. When you guys are ever washing
your face and you're rubbing your eyes, you know because
you got him closed. So do you ever see like
images of Charles Manson smiling.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
What, No, I have not. I've not, you know, I
have seen my when I do rub my eyes though,
when I wake up in the afternoon and I put
the water on my face, I do see like colors,
like there's like different colors.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
And resemble Charles Manson.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
How about floaters? Do you ever see any floaters?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Hold on, let me close my eyes. I'm rubbing my
eyes right now. No, let's see. Do you have floaters?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Every once in a while, I'll see like some little
thing floating around and I want you might want to flush?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
My dad had I'm sorry flush he's a bathroom, Joe.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
I Oh, floaters.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
It depends on what you what you eat, right, because
some people is it just people? Some people are predisposed
to do that.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Oh you're floating, sink or float? I think you're depends
so yeah, maybe that's so. If you have less fiber,
it floats, must meybe more fat in your diet. It's
a little floating, Tony.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Your thoughts on this, Tony, I mean I've gotten those before,
but I was just wondering about the Charles Manson thing.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
No, I can't tell you, though, Tony, Pat Pat O'Brien
that used to work here. Swore that that, uh that
Charles Manson listened to Fox Sports Radio. He's dead now,
but he swore that Charlie listened. He was all that, yeah,
that's what he said.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
So there are some there's some good gifts of Charles Manson,
you know, like a jiff or a gift. Yeah, because
he's doing all these different faces. It's like got a
court appearance. It's just crazy crazy, you know, just send
that if you're having to cracked out day and send one.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Of those that helter skelter. Is that what that is?
Speaker 6 (32:06):
I don't know. It was long after he's been incarcerated.
There's just some appeal or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Tony. You're standing out of trouble, right, Tony, you haven't
been handcuffed recently?
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Uh no, not recently?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah? Good, okay, all right, I'm gonna go okay, all right,

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Bye?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
All right. It is the Bane Mailor Show. As we
continue on, I had to get permission with Tony in
the bay. I can't just hang up on Tony. I
have to be allowed to hang up on Tony because
Tony knows people, and I don't want Tony to get upset.
You know, if he gets upset what I was saying,
or you know anybody, I'm okay with that, But me,
I gotta be on good standing.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Should I have someone else start my car when I
leave for today?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
He's in northern California.
Speaker 9 (32:49):

Boy Page Down Terrell Owens from Big Greg in Iowa. Eddie,
(35:19):
do you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
It is not Penny Wise the clown guessed by Mason
in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
That it's a ridiculous answer. I'm gonna go with former
Arizona Cardinals Legend and Kwan Bolden.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
And Kwan Bolden is that correct? Ron? I can't answer.
Bloom Moon Horizon Eddie Onrey Horizon. Way back in nineteen
ninety four, he was in Atlanta, Atlanta Falcons Legend. We
played for a bunch of other teams. He bounced around
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Here we go, it's Mallard how about that to the
third degree. This is one big Ben gets grail and.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
On Sunday, Josh Jacobs became the first reigning NFL rushing
champs since the merger to finish a game with negative
rushing yards. Now this comes after rushings only forty eight
yards in the opener, Ben, you attribute this to rust
after a whold dout or is it something more?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Well, it's emasculating, but it's the game got away from
the Raiders. There was a team wide malaise for the
Silver and Black against the Buffalo Bills, and they were
bad in the first half and then they packed it
in at halftime. They had to get out of there.
They had to leave early there. But Josh James you
only had nine carries. He was not effective. And the Bills,
who got gashed in the run defense the prior week,
(36:36):
were able to contain Jacobs. But no, it's not I
don't know, it's Russ he has he's not playing well.
That's it.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Next, after the Falcons comeback win against the Packers, head
coach Arthur Smith said that you can see that guy
is believe in him talking about Desmond Ritter.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Haha, Ben, are you starting to believe.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
No, no, I'm starting to believe Atlanta has had some
fortuitous scheduling right now. Good for them. Congratulations Desmond Riddard
number one. Uh, he has been writing shotgun here. He's
not the one rowing the boat. He's not the one
who's who's rowing the boat. He's got pretty mediocre numbers.
It's not like he's been this dynamic quarterback for Atlanta.
(37:16):
And if you look at the Atlanta Falcons, Jon Robinson,

surprising two and oh start on the season. Are Baker

had Baker in Denver, though I know that you got
a stiff there
