Steelers is not some kind of revenge you? Also, the
Jets are terrible their quarterback. Aaron Glenn says he doesn't
really have any relationship with the owner of the Jets,
(00:22):
Woody Johnson.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What does that signal to you?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
And coach Aaron Glenn says that he will not name
a starting quarterback for the aforementioned Jets between Justin Fields
and Tyrod Taylor because, in his own words, he quote
doesn't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage. How
does that one taste? I'll tell you right now. It's

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Be so our lead. This hour is from Pittsburgh, PA.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
In the game of Pigskin Squares, not Hollywood Squares, not
Hollywood Squares, but we're playing pigskin squares. If you look
at the card this weekend, which begins later on Thursday in.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The hood in Inglewood and up to no Gut.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The Chargers hosting the Minnesota Vikings just down the road
from where we broadcast from. And so Sunday night, though,
is the center square in week eight, You've got Aaron
Rodgers wrangling the cheeseheads the prize some cheese curts.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So Rogers chimed in on this.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He was asked about going against his franchise, the franchise
that he's most known for and forever will be known
for playing in Wisconsin, and what did he say, Well,
the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that facing the Packers
this weekend, he said, is quote not a revenge game
for me. Rogers stated, Green Bay drafted Rogers when he
(03:41):
famously if you're old enough to remember the twenty five
draft free fall in free fall in ended up at
number twenty four, was supposed to be a top five
pick in the draft, ended up all the way down
at number twenty four, And he spent the first eighteen
I'm told that's a long time, eighteen years of his
career in the fen Tundra, living in the suburbs of Appleton, Wisconsin.
(04:04):
Rogers says that he doesn't have any animosity, no animosity.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Towards the organization.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
He said he had a great relationship with a lot
of people with the Packers.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So it's all we'll combine it all together. It's good
jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So let us discuss the question, why is Aaron Rodgers pretending?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Why is he pretending they playing Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Is just another game that it's not a revenge game,
it's just a random game.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And Week eight in the NFL. So my thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I've got punch bowl tax deductible and Haunted Cafe, and
we will combine all of these things together and we'll
climb or at the very bottom of the ladder, the
corporate ladder here at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Doing the overnight show at the very bottom. But we
hope to catch our lucky star.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So a Aaron Rodgers can say whatever whatever he wants.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Obviously he did and he does all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But this particular quote, this particular line from Aaron Rodgers,
I put it into the basket of gridiron kabuki. It's
grid iron KOBOOKI mister Rogers neighborhood. Now he spent nearly
two decades, as we mentioned, almost two decades in Green Bay, Wisconsin,
shoveling snow, paying people to shovel snow for him. And
(05:26):
then he got rudely kicked out, shoved out the door.
And now he's back squaring up against the Green and Gold.
And this is professional wrestling levels. Storyline stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
The only thing that would have been better if it
had been back at lambeau Field.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You can't get everything you want now, Rogers. I know
from years of doing talk radio. In fact, I'm so old.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
We used to have Rogers on when he was playing
a col on Saturdays I did a college football.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I don't need you to touch up my work. But
the point is Rogers would come on when he played
at Cal a couple of times. I guess he wasn't
a do shit that point. I don't know. He was
fine whatever, typical meathead athlete, had not much to say.
But we put him on because we had to.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But Rogers is the king of pretending that he's above
it all. Right, he's above it all. No animosity. Now,
what do we know about Rogers? Whether you like him,
there's a lot of very polarizing guy. Some people love
him a lot. There's other people that think he's the
devil incarnate. I like him as a talk show host.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Good for my job.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But what we know about Aaron Rodgers is that he
is the king of pretending that he's above it all.
No animosity, right. The man loves pushing buttons. Push a
button here, push a button there. He loves pushing buttons
more than Patrick Mahomes loves what a burger.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Okay, that's a lot of love.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Aaron Rodgers wrote the book on passive aggressive behavior.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He did It's an Idiot's Guide to Passive aggressive Behavior.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
By downplaying matchup Rogers is he's stirring the pot and
then he's spitting a giant, thick green loogie right in
the NFL's marketing punch bowl. I mean, it's the NFL's
focused on this. This is gonna be a big fing
deal on the NBC crews. Got it on Sunday night,
(07:20):
and he's out there acting like he's two zen.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I don't believe in revenge, but this is the same
guy who has been carrying around grudges like people carry
luggage to the airport, and by downplaying it, he's giving
himself also the old daily double. Now the daily double
is he's effing over the marketing people because the idea is, okay,
(07:43):
we'll get a good quote from Rogers talking about how
he really wants to stick it to the Packers. They'll
put that in the open and they'll toss to Tarrico
and Collinsworth on the Sunday night broadcast. So he downplays it,
which hurts the marketing. He also gives himself the other
part of the daily double. He gives himself the built
in excuse if the Steelers end up getting smoked on
(08:05):
Sunday Night, He'll say, ah, you know, listen, it doesn't matter.
It's just a regular season game. It's just another game.
So it's a total soft landing.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The only thing I was saying about this when I
was making a long trip into the studio here. The
only thing that Aaron Rodgers could say to lead me
to believe that he does not does not want to
get a pound of cheese revenge from the Green Bay
Packers is that he's a lizard person. Now, if he's
(08:34):
a lizard person, okay, there's no emotion. Lizard people don't
have emotion. I've read books about lizard people. They don't
have emotion. I don't want to go all George Norrey
coast to coast on you, but there's no emotion. It's
not personal. Otherwise it's always personal.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It just is now.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I never played in the NFL, however, I have worked
at I've worked here a long time. But before I
worked here, I bounced around the radio dial as you
used to do back in the day. And whenever I
changed radio jobs, I always want to stick the dagger
right in the heart of the people I used to
work for.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Always.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's how I'm wired. Most people are wired that way
as well. And you know deep down that Rogers would
love nothing more than to go out there on Sunday
night throw four touchdowns so for two hundred and ninety
yards and then stare a hole through Matt Lafleur.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And the Green Bay Packer coaching staff right there in
the silence.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Now, if you don't believe me, just ask his imaginary wife, Brittany,
because I'm sure that Brittany Rogers, his fake wife, will
tell you all about that. I'm sure she's a lovely lady,
and she's completely real and she just has just somehow in.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The plugged in world been able to hide.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Maybe she lives like the unibomber and in shack in Montana.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
All right, turning the page, we now go to Jersey.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What is the rule of show bad football makes good
talk radio? So following the verbal butcher shop that the
Jets owner opened up, put his quarterback in the verbal Butcher's.
The quarterback, Justin Fields responded, responded to the criticism from
(10:08):
Woody Johnson, and what did he say? What did the
man say? Well, I will tell you I guess we
don't have an editing department anymore that puts any sound
in But I will just I'll tell you what he said,
so you don't have to worry about it. If you
said Field said, the money quote was I don't really
have a relationship with Woody Johnson. He did look a
(10:30):
little out of sorts Justin Fields while he was talking
to the media, But the money quote was, I don't
really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. So the question
the Jets quarterback who will most likely be a backup?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Although more on that in a minute.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Justin Field saying that he doesn't really have any kind
of relationship with the Jets owner Woody Johnson, does I
guess what does that signal to you? That'd be the
way we'll frame what does that signal to you? So
I will go first because I'm sitting in front of
a microphone. I'm sitting in front of this, so I'm
(11:05):
gonna talk first. Justin Fields has relationship problems.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He does.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
This isn't the Bachelor. It's not, although you wouldn't know
it from following the Jets. It's the NFL. I thought,
you don't need to grab dinner with the owner. You
need to score touchdowns. I have never met the president
of the company that I work for. Fox Sports Radio
(11:33):
is a partnership with iHeart Media. I've never met the
big boss at iHeart. I don't know who that is.
If they walk in the room, I wouldn't know what
they look like.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But I have a job to do, and I do
the job, and I don't worry about that.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And of course I don't usually get ripped by the
person that runs the company because they have no idea
who I am, so they wouldn't rip me. But Fields
doesn't really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. He also
does not have a relationship with the Forward Pass.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's a bigger problem. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
He also has been ghosting. I don't know why he's
doing this. For some reason, he's been ghosting.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The end zone. I don't know. I don't recommend that.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So if the Jets want to change quarterback coaches, and
why not they do that every other.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Year, may we recommend doctor Phil?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And he gave up his daytime talk show a while back,
so why not doctor Phil. Woody Johnson doesn't want to
talk to Justin Fields because watching Justin Field's play professional
football for the owner of the Jets is like it's
like talking to a brick wall. There is no response,
there is no response.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's just pain. It's just absolute pain.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And the Jets to think that these morons gave a
guy who's a two time loser thirty million dollars guaranteed,
thirty million dollars guaranteed for Justin Fields, who proved he
couldn't play in Chicago and then confirmed he couldn't play
in Pittsburgh, and the Jets said, well, we know you
can't play, so we'll bring in Why not? That is
not a contract. The thirty million dollars is not a contract.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know what that is?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That is a tax deductible charity donation inside a helmet.
You fill a helmet with money. Okay, here's the donation.
Let me contact my being counter and I'll see what
we can get that as a rite off there on
your Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Justin Fields needs.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
To stop worrying about relationships and all that stuff and
just complete some passes and I'll guarantee it you complete
some passes.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I don't think he can do.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But if you complete some passes, all of a sudden,
the owner of the Jets is gonna be like, Okay,
let's go have lunch. I'll take you out on a
helicopter out to the Hamptons. And so it's the NFL
is not couple's therapy. We don't need to worry about that.
It's not couple's therapy. All right now, last word, we
stay with the Jets. We do the shuffle. Are you
(13:44):
ready to do the shuffle?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We got to do the shuffle. That'd be the quarterback
shuffle question. The coach. I say that loosely because he
doesn't seem to know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Aaron Glenn made some comments. He was asked about the
quarterback situation. Who is going to start a quarterback? And
did he say Justin Fields.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Did he say Tyrod Taylor or none of the evolved.
Let's go to the audio tape. She's your quarterback. We
will have a quarterback on Sunday. I will tell you
that announced.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Sorry, I wouldn't want to give them a competitive advantage
when I have that opportunity, but we would have a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Did you Your list is gone? So yeah, day, yes, yes,
what is he dealing with? He's dealing a need. That's
something he had before. So just you know who you're
starting quarterback is going to be. You're just not announcing it.
So it is life this week as a competition where
you're going to have I know, to star on quarters
could be okay, So we we like to let you
(14:46):
know they will have a quarterback. So that's good. They're
going to have a quarterback, all right. So Eric Glen,
you just heard it right there.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
He will not name a quarterback for the Jets between
Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor because in his own words there,
he doesn't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
So how does that one taste? How does that taste?
So it tastes to.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Me it's a little moldy and a little mil dewey,
little moldy, little mil dewey. That's what it tastes like here.
So Aaron Glenn the worst coach in football. Not my opinion,
it's a fact. He's the only win this's coach.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
In the NFL.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Aaron Glenn thinks that he's playing with dungeons and dragons
or something like that with the Bengals, and it's.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Like top secret. He's got someone I'm not sure who.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The person is, but they walk behind him and they've
got a briefcase and in the briefcase are the nuclear codes.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And so you can't announce what's going.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
On because you've got the nuclear codes and you want
to give those away and you want to know you
have the nuclear codes. And so picking between Justin Fields
and Tyrod Taylor, what kind of choice is that?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Do you know what kind of choice that is?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
That is like going to the Haunted Cafe for Halloween
dinner and you're having a witches dinner and you're choosing
between cockroaches or rats.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Do I want want the vermin or do I want
the cockerroach? What do I want to have? And good
luck either way?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You are stuck with something nasty Capital and nast Ate.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So the Jets are zero and seven.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Is it true that Cincinnati could hand over could hand
over a three ring binder with their entire playbook, could
send a text message with all the audibles they will
use in the game this weekend, and they could send
them a laminated sheet, the same sheet that Joe Flacco
(16:39):
will have on his wristband this weekend. And the Jets
would still f it up. They'd still trip over their
shoelaces at the thirty five yard line. This is classic
bad team fear, and it's why I continue to preach
from the bully pulpit.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Bad teams make good talk radio.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And when you don't have a real advantage, like Aaron Glenn,
you are in make believe.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You're pretending.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You're pretending every man, woman and child knows that Tyrod
Taylor's going to start at quarterback this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It's just that Aaron Glenn doesn't want to deal with
the fallout on that. Now. I would love for.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Justin Field's love for him to start on Sunday because
he's going to get destroyed. That'll make for another good
monologue on Sunday night into Monday.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Here the bit later.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
This is our mallard of the third degree. Next hour
we have the Riddle of the day. We began this
particular hour two in the A block back in the
A block yapping about Aaron Rodgers, who's oh no, there's
no revenge game with the Green Bay Packers and all
that stuff, doing that kind of zend stuff. And I
love the Jets, the Jets and the Browns. I talk
(20:25):
more about the Jets and the Browns and the Raiders
than anyone else in sports radio because they are just
so good. Justin Fields saying he doesn't have a relationship
with the Jets owner and Aaron Glenn, what a mench
Aaron Glenn is to have the hutzpah to say, oh yeah,
(20:47):
we don't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage.
You got like two suck bag quarterbacks, but we do
not want to give any kind of a competitive event.
Do not want to do it, don't want to do.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
It at all.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Just Josh right, since says this is not your average
cheese revenge game here feels more like of a Swiss
type of variety got a lot of holes in it,
says just Josh about Aaron Rodgers going against his old team,
King Rory, who's in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I like the holes joke.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, lame jokes are on on Friday tomorrow. King Roy says.
Aaron Rodgers might say, it's not a revenge game, but
if the Steelers win, you know, Rogers will throw a
dig or two at the Packers. Fun fact, Green Bay
has not won in Pittsburgh since nineteen seventy.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
See, those kind of stats are cool, except they don't
play each other every year. They don't play each other
hardly at all, like every four years, maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Once every four years. Get to uh, they said they
would be times. I bet you less than that.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I bet you the Packers have played in Pittsburgh without
looking since nineteen seventy I'll bet you it's like seven
or eight times.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Maybe. Wow, maybe it's.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, because they don't they're not in the same conference,
they don't play each other that often.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
There's a rotation.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You're supposed to play everyone every four years, but then
you don't play them all in your own stadium. You
play on the road some of the time as well.
And what else we have late night drug Tester says, wait,
the president of your company doesn't know you. Give the
Malard Militia the signal and we will have a sequel
to these spats with shats.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I'm good. I'm good on that late night drug tester.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm pretty sure if we do a spats with shots
with the president of the company, I will be doing
a podcast only.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Not doing live radio.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That will not be I will not be part of
this operation. They'll be saying bye bye, and I'll be unemployed.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
Now, yes, yes, big man, I was just worrying about
the NFC.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
West.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
I know you're a big Rams fan. I'm a Niners fan,
and I know I know the Niners. You know, we've
been dealing with a lot of smoke and mirrors here.
But do you think we would get healthy? Do you
think that we got a real chance?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, I'll put it this way, Neil, the NFC, I
don't see anyone all that great in the NFC. You
feel me on that. I look around the NFC. Yeah,
Philadelphia's got their awards. I don't see anyone the AF
c You can make the argument Kansas City's got their
guys back.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
They're starting to round in the shape.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
They're the Chiefs and the Colts look great figured, which
is by the way, are you from Indiana but you're
not a Colts fan? Are you grow up in the
back in the day when the Niners were good or
something like that?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Yeah, my dad, My dad was a diehard Niners fan.
We always watched. So that's who I grew up loving.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I got you, I understand. Yeah, generational thing. Yeah, the
Niners always give the Rams problem. So uh but they've
had I don't know how they they're winning. They beat
Atlanta without Bosa's out for the year and Fred Warner, like,
those are the only two guys you know of on defense.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
So I won't keep your Neil. Go back to bed.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Thank your son, Corbyn, Thank you for calling in. Heal,
enjoy the beach. Love you man, Bet, Thank you dude.

I thought they were gonna win, and there they are.
They lost to the seventy six ers again. Yet again

look up the score and know that they lost again.
That's not the first time. I'm gonna hear from Shoe

that's the worst call I've ever heard. Yeah, okay, whatever, whatever, Joe,
I'll just sit here and relax and listen to you.
That's what he does. Well, it's nothing worse than that.
(29:21):
Because the Rams are off this week. So let's see
if the Patriots can beat the Browns. If they lose
to the Browns, that's terrible because they've been playing good the.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Patriots as a as a fellow now Blair, as a
fellow media guy, because you're a podcaster and I'm you know,

losing the Browns, should they fire Mike Rable?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
No, we keep on there, But I got you.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I was just asking, you know, I wanted I wanted

social media. Yes, that would have been everywhere, of course,
blind scout not plus how dare I say blind scat? Uh?

You're right, You're totally right. I was well.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
The sweet spot. I was told by these consultants the
company I work for. They told me, said, Ben, the
podcast should be about thirty minutes. And they said that
that's normally around the time people spend on like the
treadmill or something like that. They'll be on the treadmill
for about thirty minutes, so it's still about thirty minutes.
Or people drive their community, believe it or not, people's commutes.

Depends seven minutes is a long time. It depends what
you're doing. But yes, yes, I got time to practice.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
I go from two to four on four. It's one
day a week. I only do it, so I got

Speaker 6 (32:52):
Any game?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
No, No, it doesn't. Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Let me say, nobody wants the only games you break down.
Let me let you a little secret here, the only
games you break down or like NFL games, that's it.
No regular season nobody cares about regular season games. Playoff
games like World Series games. People care about playoff games.
People care about they don't care about regular season games.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Don't do it. I should just charge you. I should
charge you a fee. Consult I should charge you a
consulting fees. What I should do?

Speaker 1 (33:31):
I'm doing a show. I'm doing a show right now.
I gotta go, Thank you. I gotta go. There you go.
No program directing right here on the radio. You gotta
do it, man, you got program director. These kids. I
need the next generation because at some point I will
I will lose.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Every job I have and I'll just be sitting there
listening to this crap. And I don't want crappy programming.
It's a lot of crap on the radio and podcasting
right now. Next generation it could be Corbin, that's right,
eleven year old Corbyn domination situation got for him.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Kids kicking ass. That is a great kid. You know
your dad's like fell asleep. Corbyn knew exactly what to do.
He was ready. You know, he didn't hang up, you know,
some eleven year old punk some punk kids. He wasn't
shy or anything like that. He was calm, cool and collected.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
All right, So very nice time now though for the
insta trivia, and we are going to have coming up
here Mallard of the third Degree.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
But here is the Insta trivia with Andy Dalton. He stinks.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Andy Dalton's going to make his one hundred and sixty
ninth career regular season start this week for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
He will move into a tie with Derek Carr.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yes, that Derek Carr, who just quit and didn't want
to play for the Bengals because Joe Burrow might come
back at some point. But anyway, Andy Dalton on hundred
and sixty ninth career regular season start for the Panthers
this week, he will move into a tie with Derek
Carr for the second most starts for a quarterback without
ever winning a playoff game. Only Blank has more. That
(35:05):
is the Insta trivia. The answer, We'll get to it,
and we will do it.

Second most starts in the history of the NFL by

Speaker 1 (38:55):
In one year with the Washington Redskins, Here we go,
Here we go, Here we go. How about that third degree?
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Yeah, this is one Big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Go below NFL Executive vice president Troy Vincent said on
Saturday that with on side kicks having less than five
percent recovery rate and maybe time to reconsider alternatives to
the onside kick, Ben, do you think the NFL needs
an alternative?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yes? Yes, you want to encourage comebacks.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
You want to have an audience keep watching a game,
and you know as a fan, when a team falls
behind and they.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Have to get an on side kick or two on sidekicks.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
There's no mathematical way that's going to work. So you
need to come up with somebody else. Now, they're so
afraid of people getting hurt. I get it, because they
don't get sued. So how about like a fourth and
twenty five or something like that one play to try
to get a first Now, something along those lines, because
what the kickoff?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Things that waste the time.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Next, DeMarcus Cousins had a hot take ahead of the
NBA's opening Nike He said that he believes Kevin Durant
can win the MVP at thirty seven years old because
the Rockets will win enough game to put him in
the conversation. Ben thumbs up or thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
That listen, DeMarcus, you're better at basketball than me. But
your hot takes are terrible. This is like one of
the worst takes I've ever There's no chance Kevin Durant's
gonna win an MVP award. He's not even the best
player on the Rockets, So how's the math on that
going to work? It's ridiculous. We're in the age of
the unexpected MVP. Although your guy Luca Coop, you.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Know he's gonna put up monster numbers, so you know
I would say he's I'd bet on him before he
was next.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Speaking of hot takes, our very own colleague, Colin Cowhard,
made headlines with a take of his own.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
This week.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
He predicted the Orlando Magic will make it to the
NBA Finals. Ben, what do you think the ceiling is
for the Magic?
Speaker 1 (40:35):
They'll go far in.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
The playoffs, but they're not going to the NBA Finals
unless unless I'm missing something here, they'll they can get
to the semi finals.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
How do we do, Coope?
Speaker 4 (40:45):
How'd we do?
Speaker 1 (40:45):
How'd we do we? I walk past, I past, I pass.
I like their uniforms, good uniforms, though for their Magic
Dingdong.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number two. Hour number two is ready for you.
And here an hour number two. Why is Aaron Rodgers
pretending like playing Green Bay as a member of the
Steelers is not some kind of revenge you? Also, the
Jets are terrible their quarterback. Aaron Glenn says he doesn't
really have any relationship with the owner of the Jets,
(00:22):
Woody Johnson.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What does that signal to you?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
And coach Aaron Glenn says that he will not name
a starting quarterback for the aforementioned Jets between Justin Fields
and Tyrod Taylor because, in his own words, he quote
doesn't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage. How
does that one taste? I'll tell you right now. It's
our number two. And also, we got a kid call
(00:46):
You got to listen to the whole hour. Surprise kid
caller Alert, Surprise kid caller Alert. You'll hear Corbin and
his dad Nil here in our number two. Well you can,
I'd sure that is what you can do. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
(01:09):
As we are in the air everywhere just ordinary people,
as we turn isles into smiles, coast to coast, border
to border and beyond on the vast and tremendously powerful
microphones of fsre amminating live.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
From Central the chatter Central.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
From the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
by supermarket Steve who knows that a portion of this
show is made possible and sponsored by DraftKings sportsbook, unofficial
sports betting partner of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (01:51):

iraq dot com the way Tire Mind Show.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Be so our lead. This hour is from Pittsburgh, PA.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
In the game of Pigskin Squares, not Hollywood Squares, not
Hollywood Squares, but we're playing pigskin squares. If you look
at the card this weekend, which begins later on Thursday in.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The hood in Inglewood and up to no Gut.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The Chargers hosting the Minnesota Vikings just down the road
from where we broadcast from. And so Sunday night, though,
is the center square in week eight, You've got Aaron
Rodgers wrangling the cheeseheads the prize some cheese curts.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So Rogers chimed in on this.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He was asked about going against his franchise, the franchise
that he's most known for and forever will be known
for playing in Wisconsin, and what did he say, Well,
the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that facing the Packers
this weekend, he said, is quote not a revenge game
for me. Rogers stated, Green Bay drafted Rogers when he
(03:41):
famously if you're old enough to remember the twenty five
draft free fall in free fall in ended up at
number twenty four, was supposed to be a top five
pick in the draft, ended up all the way down
at number twenty four, And he spent the first eighteen
I'm told that's a long time, eighteen years of his
career in the fen Tundra, living in the suburbs of Appleton, Wisconsin.
(04:04):
Rogers says that he doesn't have any animosity, no animosity.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Towards the organization.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
He said he had a great relationship with a lot
of people with the Packers.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So it's all we'll combine it all together. It's good
jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So let us discuss the question, why is Aaron Rodgers pretending?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Why is he pretending they playing Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Is just another game that it's not a revenge game,
it's just a random game.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And Week eight in the NFL. So my thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I've got punch bowl tax deductible and Haunted Cafe, and
we will combine all of these things together and we'll
climb or at the very bottom of the ladder, the
corporate ladder here at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Doing the overnight show at the very bottom. But we
hope to catch our lucky star.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So a Aaron Rodgers can say whatever whatever he wants.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Obviously he did and he does all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But this particular quote, this particular line from Aaron Rodgers,
I put it into the basket of gridiron kabuki. It's
grid iron KOBOOKI mister Rogers neighborhood. Now he spent nearly
two decades, as we mentioned, almost two decades in Green Bay, Wisconsin,
shoveling snow, paying people to shovel snow for him. And
(05:26):
then he got rudely kicked out, shoved out the door.
And now he's back squaring up against the Green and Gold.
And this is professional wrestling levels. Storyline stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
The only thing that would have been better if it
had been back at lambeau Field.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You can't get everything you want now, Rogers. I know
from years of doing talk radio. In fact, I'm so old.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
We used to have Rogers on when he was playing
a col on Saturdays I did a college football.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I don't need you to touch up my work. But
the point is Rogers would come on when he played
at Cal a couple of times. I guess he wasn't
a do shit that point. I don't know. He was
fine whatever, typical meathead athlete, had not much to say.
But we put him on because we had to.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But Rogers is the king of pretending that he's above
it all. Right, he's above it all. No animosity. Now,
what do we know about Rogers? Whether you like him,
there's a lot of very polarizing guy. Some people love
him a lot. There's other people that think he's the
devil incarnate. I like him as a talk show host.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Good for my job.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But what we know about Aaron Rodgers is that he
is the king of pretending that he's above it all.
No animosity, right. The man loves pushing buttons. Push a
button here, push a button there. He loves pushing buttons
more than Patrick Mahomes loves what a burger.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Okay, that's a lot of love.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Aaron Rodgers wrote the book on passive aggressive behavior.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He did It's an Idiot's Guide to Passive aggressive Behavior.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
By downplaying matchup Rogers is he's stirring the pot and
then he's spitting a giant, thick green loogie right in
the NFL's marketing punch bowl. I mean, it's the NFL's
focused on this. This is gonna be a big fing
deal on the NBC crews. Got it on Sunday night,
(07:20):
and he's out there acting like he's two zen.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I don't believe in revenge, but this is the same
guy who has been carrying around grudges like people carry
luggage to the airport, and by downplaying it, he's giving
himself also the old daily double. Now the daily double
is he's effing over the marketing people because the idea is, okay,
(07:43):
we'll get a good quote from Rogers talking about how
he really wants to stick it to the Packers. They'll
put that in the open and they'll toss to Tarrico
and Collinsworth on the Sunday night broadcast. So he downplays it,
which hurts the marketing. He also gives himself the other
part of the daily double. He gives himself the built
in excuse if the Steelers end up getting smoked on
(08:05):
Sunday Night, He'll say, ah, you know, listen, it doesn't matter.
It's just a regular season game. It's just another game.
So it's a total soft landing.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The only thing I was saying about this when I
was making a long trip into the studio here. The
only thing that Aaron Rodgers could say to lead me
to believe that he does not does not want to
get a pound of cheese revenge from the Green Bay
Packers is that he's a lizard person. Now, if he's
(08:34):
a lizard person, okay, there's no emotion. Lizard people don't
have emotion. I've read books about lizard people. They don't
have emotion. I don't want to go all George Norrey
coast to coast on you, but there's no emotion. It's
not personal. Otherwise it's always personal.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It just is now.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I never played in the NFL, however, I have worked
at I've worked here a long time. But before I
worked here, I bounced around the radio dial as you
used to do back in the day. And whenever I
changed radio jobs, I always want to stick the dagger
right in the heart of the people I used to
work for.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Always.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's how I'm wired. Most people are wired that way
as well. And you know deep down that Rogers would
love nothing more than to go out there on Sunday
night throw four touchdowns so for two hundred and ninety
yards and then stare a hole through Matt Lafleur.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And the Green Bay Packer coaching staff right there in
the silence.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Now, if you don't believe me, just ask his imaginary wife, Brittany,
because I'm sure that Brittany Rogers, his fake wife, will
tell you all about that. I'm sure she's a lovely lady,
and she's completely real and she just has just somehow in.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The plugged in world been able to hide.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Maybe she lives like the unibomber and in shack in Montana.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
All right, turning the page, we now go to Jersey.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What is the rule of show bad football makes good
talk radio? So following the verbal butcher shop that the
Jets owner opened up, put his quarterback in the verbal Butcher's.
The quarterback, Justin Fields responded, responded to the criticism from
(10:08):
Woody Johnson, and what did he say? What did the
man say? Well, I will tell you I guess we
don't have an editing department anymore that puts any sound
in But I will just I'll tell you what he said,
so you don't have to worry about it. If you
said Field said, the money quote was I don't really
have a relationship with Woody Johnson. He did look a
(10:30):
little out of sorts Justin Fields while he was talking
to the media, But the money quote was, I don't
really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. So the question
the Jets quarterback who will most likely be a backup?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Although more on that in a minute.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Justin Field saying that he doesn't really have any kind
of relationship with the Jets owner Woody Johnson, does I
guess what does that signal to you? That'd be the
way we'll frame what does that signal to you? So
I will go first because I'm sitting in front of
a microphone. I'm sitting in front of this, so I'm
(11:05):
gonna talk first. Justin Fields has relationship problems.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He does.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
This isn't the Bachelor. It's not, although you wouldn't know
it from following the Jets. It's the NFL. I thought,
you don't need to grab dinner with the owner. You
need to score touchdowns. I have never met the president
of the company that I work for. Fox Sports Radio
(11:33):
is a partnership with iHeart Media. I've never met the
big boss at iHeart. I don't know who that is.
If they walk in the room, I wouldn't know what
they look like.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But I have a job to do, and I do
the job, and I don't worry about that.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And of course I don't usually get ripped by the
person that runs the company because they have no idea
who I am, so they wouldn't rip me. But Fields
doesn't really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. He also
does not have a relationship with the Forward Pass.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's a bigger problem. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
He also has been ghosting. I don't know why he's
doing this. For some reason, he's been ghosting.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The end zone. I don't know. I don't recommend that.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So if the Jets want to change quarterback coaches, and
why not they do that every other.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Year, may we recommend doctor Phil?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And he gave up his daytime talk show a while back,
so why not doctor Phil. Woody Johnson doesn't want to
talk to Justin Fields because watching Justin Field's play professional
football for the owner of the Jets is like it's
like talking to a brick wall. There is no response,
there is no response.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's just pain. It's just absolute pain.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And the Jets to think that these morons gave a
guy who's a two time loser thirty million dollars guaranteed,
thirty million dollars guaranteed for Justin Fields, who proved he
couldn't play in Chicago and then confirmed he couldn't play
in Pittsburgh, and the Jets said, well, we know you
can't play, so we'll bring in Why not? That is
not a contract. The thirty million dollars is not a contract.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know what that is?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That is a tax deductible charity donation inside a helmet.
You fill a helmet with money. Okay, here's the donation.
Let me contact my being counter and I'll see what
we can get that as a rite off there on
your Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Justin Fields needs.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
To stop worrying about relationships and all that stuff and
just complete some passes and I'll guarantee it you complete
some passes.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I don't think he can do.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But if you complete some passes, all of a sudden,
the owner of the Jets is gonna be like, Okay,
let's go have lunch. I'll take you out on a
helicopter out to the Hamptons. And so it's the NFL
is not couple's therapy. We don't need to worry about that.
It's not couple's therapy. All right now, last word, we
stay with the Jets. We do the shuffle. Are you
(13:44):
ready to do the shuffle?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We got to do the shuffle. That'd be the quarterback
shuffle question. The coach. I say that loosely because he
doesn't seem to know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Aaron Glenn made some comments. He was asked about the
quarterback situation. Who is going to start a quarterback? And
did he say Justin Fields.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Did he say Tyrod Taylor or none of the evolved.
Let's go to the audio tape. She's your quarterback. We
will have a quarterback on Sunday. I will tell you
that announced.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Sorry, I wouldn't want to give them a competitive advantage
when I have that opportunity, but we would have a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Did you Your list is gone? So yeah, day, yes, yes,
what is he dealing with? He's dealing a need. That's
something he had before. So just you know who you're
starting quarterback is going to be. You're just not announcing it.
So it is life this week as a competition where
you're going to have I know, to star on quarters
could be okay, So we we like to let you
(14:46):
know they will have a quarterback. So that's good. They're
going to have a quarterback, all right. So Eric Glen,
you just heard it right there.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
He will not name a quarterback for the Jets between
Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor because in his own words there,
he doesn't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
So how does that one taste? How does that taste?
So it tastes to.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Me it's a little moldy and a little mil dewey,
little moldy, little mil dewey. That's what it tastes like here.
So Aaron Glenn the worst coach in football. Not my opinion,
it's a fact. He's the only win this's coach.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
In the NFL.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Aaron Glenn thinks that he's playing with dungeons and dragons
or something like that with the Bengals, and it's.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Like top secret. He's got someone I'm not sure who.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The person is, but they walk behind him and they've
got a briefcase and in the briefcase are the nuclear codes.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And so you can't announce what's going.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
On because you've got the nuclear codes and you want
to give those away and you want to know you
have the nuclear codes. And so picking between Justin Fields
and Tyrod Taylor, what kind of choice is that?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Do you know what kind of choice that is?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
That is like going to the Haunted Cafe for Halloween
dinner and you're having a witches dinner and you're choosing
between cockroaches or rats.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Do I want want the vermin or do I want
the cockerroach? What do I want to have? And good
luck either way?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You are stuck with something nasty Capital and nast Ate.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So the Jets are zero and seven.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Is it true that Cincinnati could hand over could hand
over a three ring binder with their entire playbook, could
send a text message with all the audibles they will
use in the game this weekend, and they could send
them a laminated sheet, the same sheet that Joe Flacco
(16:39):
will have on his wristband this weekend. And the Jets
would still f it up. They'd still trip over their
shoelaces at the thirty five yard line. This is classic
bad team fear, and it's why I continue to preach
from the bully pulpit.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Bad teams make good talk radio.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And when you don't have a real advantage, like Aaron Glenn,
you are in make believe.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You're pretending.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You're pretending every man, woman and child knows that Tyrod
Taylor's going to start at quarterback this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It's just that Aaron Glenn doesn't want to deal with
the fallout on that. Now. I would love for.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Justin Field's love for him to start on Sunday because
he's going to get destroyed. That'll make for another good
monologue on Sunday night into Monday.

I didn't want to mention I didn't want to mention
that very exciting, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Here the bit later.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
This is our mallard of the third degree. Next hour
we have the Riddle of the day. We began this
particular hour two in the A block back in the
A block yapping about Aaron Rodgers, who's oh no, there's
no revenge game with the Green Bay Packers and all
that stuff, doing that kind of zend stuff. And I
love the Jets, the Jets and the Browns. I talk
(20:25):
more about the Jets and the Browns and the Raiders
than anyone else in sports radio because they are just
so good. Justin Fields saying he doesn't have a relationship
with the Jets owner and Aaron Glenn, what a mench
Aaron Glenn is to have the hutzpah to say, oh yeah,
(20:47):
we don't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage.
You got like two suck bag quarterbacks, but we do
not want to give any kind of a competitive event.
Do not want to do it, don't want to do.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
It at all.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Just Josh right, since says this is not your average
cheese revenge game here feels more like of a Swiss
type of variety got a lot of holes in it,
says just Josh about Aaron Rodgers going against his old team,
King Rory, who's in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I like the holes joke.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, lame jokes are on on Friday tomorrow. King Roy says.
Aaron Rodgers might say, it's not a revenge game, but
if the Steelers win, you know, Rogers will throw a
dig or two at the Packers. Fun fact, Green Bay
has not won in Pittsburgh since nineteen seventy.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
See, those kind of stats are cool, except they don't
play each other every year. They don't play each other
hardly at all, like every four years, maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Once every four years. Get to uh, they said they
would be times. I bet you less than that.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I bet you the Packers have played in Pittsburgh without
looking since nineteen seventy I'll bet you it's like seven
or eight times.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Maybe. Wow, maybe it's.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, because they don't they're not in the same conference,
they don't play each other that often.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
There's a rotation.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You're supposed to play everyone every four years, but then
you don't play them all in your own stadium. You
play on the road some of the time as well.
And what else we have late night drug Tester says, wait,
the president of your company doesn't know you. Give the
Malard Militia the signal and we will have a sequel
to these spats with shats.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I'm good. I'm good on that late night drug tester.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm pretty sure if we do a spats with shots
with the president of the company, I will be doing
a podcast only.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Not doing live radio.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That will not be I will not be part of
this operation. They'll be saying bye bye, and I'll be unemployed.
Speaker 1 (22:49):

Now, yes, yes, big man, I was just worrying about
the NFC.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
West.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
I know you're a big Rams fan. I'm a Niners fan,
and I know I know the Niners. You know, we've
been dealing with a lot of smoke and mirrors here.
But do you think we would get healthy? Do you
think that we got a real chance?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, I'll put it this way, Neil, the NFC, I
don't see anyone all that great in the NFC. You
feel me on that. I look around the NFC. Yeah,
Philadelphia's got their awards. I don't see anyone the AF
c You can make the argument Kansas City's got their
guys back.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
They're starting to round in the shape.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
They're the Chiefs and the Colts look great figured, which
is by the way, are you from Indiana but you're
not a Colts fan? Are you grow up in the
back in the day when the Niners were good or
something like that?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Yeah, my dad, My dad was a diehard Niners fan.
We always watched. So that's who I grew up loving.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I got you, I understand. Yeah, generational thing. Yeah, the
Niners always give the Rams problem. So uh but they've
had I don't know how they they're winning. They beat
Atlanta without Bosa's out for the year and Fred Warner, like,
those are the only two guys you know of on defense.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
So I won't keep your Neil. Go back to bed.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Thank your son, Corbyn, Thank you for calling in. Heal,
enjoy the beach. Love you man, Bet, Thank you dude.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Let me say, nobody wants the only games you break down.
Let me let you a little secret here, the only
games you break down or like NFL games, that's it.
No regular season nobody cares about regular season games. Playoff
games like World Series games. People care about playoff games.
People care about they don't care about regular season games.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Don't do it. I should just charge you. I should
charge you a fee. Consult I should charge you a

I gotta go, Thank you. I gotta go. There you go.
No program directing right here on the radio. You gotta
do it, man, you got program director. These kids. I
need the next generation because at some point I will
I will lose.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Every job I have and I'll just be sitting there
listening to this crap. And I don't want crappy programming.
It's a lot of crap on the radio and podcasting
right now. Next generation it could be Corbin, that's right,
eleven year old Corbyn domination situation got for him.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Kids kicking ass. That is a great kid. You know
your dad's like fell asleep. Corbyn knew exactly what to do.
He was ready. You know, he didn't hang up, you know,
some eleven year old punk some punk kids. He wasn't
shy or anything like that. He was calm, cool and collected.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
All right, So very nice time now though for the
insta trivia, and we are going to have coming up
here Mallard of the third Degree.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
But here is the Insta trivia with Andy Dalton. He stinks.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Andy Dalton's going to make his one hundred and sixty
ninth career regular season start this week for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
He will move into a tie with Derek Carr.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yes, that Derek Carr, who just quit and didn't want
to play for the Bengals because Joe Burrow might come
back at some point. But anyway, Andy Dalton on hundred
and sixty ninth career regular season start for the Panthers
this week, he will move into a tie with Derek
Carr for the second most starts for a quarterback without
ever winning a playoff game. Only Blank has more. That
(35:05):
is the Insta trivia. The answer, We'll get to it,
and we will do it.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
Yeah, this is one Big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Go below NFL Executive vice president Troy Vincent said on
Saturday that with on side kicks having less than five
percent recovery rate and maybe time to reconsider alternatives to
the onside kick, Ben, do you think the NFL needs
an alternative?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yes? Yes, you want to encourage comebacks.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
You want to have an audience keep watching a game,
and you know as a fan, when a team falls
behind and they.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Have to get an on side kick or two on sidekicks.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
There's no mathematical way that's going to work. So you
need to come up with somebody else. Now, they're so
afraid of people getting hurt. I get it, because they
don't get sued. So how about like a fourth and
twenty five or something like that one play to try
to get a first Now, something along those lines, because
what the kickoff?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Things that waste the time.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Next, DeMarcus Cousins had a hot take ahead of the
NBA's opening Nike He said that he believes Kevin Durant
can win the MVP at thirty seven years old because
the Rockets will win enough game to put him in
the conversation. Ben thumbs up or thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
That listen, DeMarcus, you're better at basketball than me. But
your hot takes are terrible. This is like one of
the worst takes I've ever There's no chance Kevin Durant's
gonna win an MVP award. He's not even the best
player on the Rockets, So how's the math on that
going to work? It's ridiculous. We're in the age of
the unexpected MVP. Although your guy Luca Coop, you.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Know he's gonna put up monster numbers, so you know
I would say he's I'd bet on him before he
was next.
Speaker 3 (40:24):

made headlines with a take of his own.
Speaker 1 (40:28):

He predicted the Orlando Magic will make it to the
NBA Finals. Ben, what do you think the ceiling is
for the Magic?
Speaker 1 (40:35):
They'll go far in.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
The playoffs, but they're not going to the NBA Finals
unless unless I'm missing something here, they'll they can get
to the semi finals.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
How do we do, Coope?
Speaker 4 (40:45):
How'd we do?
Speaker 1 (40:45):
