Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pizza, Pizza. It's our num Bird two. Our two is
ready for you. We start with the coaching change of
the week as a shakeup in Jersey. Did Brian day
Ball deserve more time to coach Jackson Dart and the Giants?
Some media pugnance questioning the timing. Also, Lane Kiffen and
(00:23):
Clint Kubiak are currently among the betting favorites to become
the next head coach of the Giants. How would that
play with the bass? In Jersey? And Buffalo coach Sean
McDermott basically said, now we're good when asked about a
reunion with Brian day Ball in Buffalo. What is that
all about? We'll get to it right now here. It
(00:44):
is settle in our number two. A shakeup in the
coaching ranks. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
We're in the air everywhere, BFFs as we are balanced,
fair and firm, unless we are none of those things.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Coast to coast, border to water and beyond. On the
vast and unreasonably powerful microphones of FSR M mondating live
from the shelf, from the top shelf where Mama hides
the cookies, from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios
are great Omash one of the great hockey announcers of
(01:33):
our time, there Rick Jennerett, And this portion of the
Ben Mather Show on Fox made possible in part by
our friends at ty Iraq. As I forty ian will
tell you, for over forty years, ti Raq has been
helping customers like Tree in Chicago find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and
(01:54):
free back by free road hazard protection, which makes Stream
and Steven very happy. With convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation. Justin in Cincinnati almost smiled when he heard
about that. He never smiles, but he almost smiled when
he heard about that. Tire rack dot Com the way
(02:15):
tire buying should be in a portion of the show
also made possible by our friends at DraftKings. That's right
for Dog and Alf. This show is sponsored in part

So I lead this hour. Change it up the Monday
night game. Bit of a dud there as the Eagles
win the riveting ten to seven game. We anyway, let's
(03:01):
go to the coaching carousel. Round and round and round
and round and round and round the coaching carousel. So
on a giving year, anywhere from seven to ten coaches
typically get whacked in the NFL. That's normally how this goes.
Seven to ten coaches typically get whacked in the NFL,
And so it got cranked up on Monday. We anticipated
(03:21):
that somebody was going to lose their job when the
sun rose in the East on Monday. We talked about
this in the Overnight Show in a previous episode, and
it turns out that we were correct. We weren't sure
whether it would be the head coach or one of
the coordinators. But it turns out if you did not
hear by now, perhaps not. We have learned that the
g alright Hey and t S Giants they fired coach
(03:43):
Brian day Ball. He gon' he's out here, Na Lada,
Hey go bye, He's out. Brian Dave Ball moving on
from the coaching ranks. There head coach of the Giants,
and he's out and midway through his fourth season of
(04:04):
suckage with the Giants two and eight record, two and eight.
Oh Man offensive quarterer of Mike Kofka will take over
as the interim coach at one point, a up and
coming star and the coach he rings and not lately,
but he'll be the interim coach. Always watch out for
that interim coach. You always want to avoid giving the
(04:26):
full time job to the interim coach. If you don't
believe me, look up Romeo Crennell. Anyway, So the move
made by ownership, It came a day after the Giants
did the impossible. They've been a laughing stock of a
franchise and they embarrassed themselves some more with that double
(04:46):
digit blown lead yet again against the man that has
the Manny and the petty down Pat Caleb Williams and
Chicago as the Bears came back down ten and we
talked about Greg Olsen, the Fox brought podcaster who put
the coach Brian day Ball on blast. Normally, when a
broadcaster goes after a coach or a player they've been
(05:09):
given the green light to do that. So Olsen, it
turns out he blasted Brian Daball. He must have known
if the Giants did not win that game that the
coach was going to be fired, and he was. He
was whacked. That's it. So Joe Shane, the most amazing
part of this is this guy, Joe Shane, not spelled
like that, will remain as the general manager of the Giants. Yeah.
(05:34):
John Mara and the other ownership people there said that
the GM will lead a search party. It's a rescue
and recovery mission for the franchise, which sucks. Now day
Ball the second coach number two that has been has
been let go as Brian Callahan, whose team, as to
(05:59):
quote Cam we asked, that was his quote about the
Tennessee Titans, So we ass coach got let go. He
was let go after six games. Titans started out one
in five and they have not won since then. So listen.
As far as the Giants, not everyone has pleached, which
blows me away like this seemed like one of those
moves in sports that no one would have a problem with.
(06:22):
How can you possibly justify keeping Brian day Ball as
the coach it makes no sense. But sure enough, there
are people of some prominence, depending on who you give
prominence to, that are on the record, on the record
stating that this is not a good move. Some of
the commentary coming in from the NFL, the poor Brian
(06:46):
day Ball crowd, it's not fair. It's not fair, led
by who else but that dunce Dan Orlowsky, the man
that famously playing for the Ohen sixteen Lions decided to
run out of the back of the end zone. That
guy's now giving you football commentary on television. That's right. Yes, Anyway,
Dan Olasky and the usual other NFL pity party crew,
(07:09):
they're like, oh man, this is a mistake. This is
a mistake, saying the Giants should have let Brian day
Ball finish what is essentially like a love story with
Jackson Dart, the coach and the player Jackson Dart there
because they had I love this good chemistry. Bull crap.
(07:32):
All right, So that is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question did Brian day Ball deserve
more time? Did the Giants not give him enough time
to coach Jackson Dart the prodigy from Old Miss, and
did he not get the fair shake with the Giants.
(07:53):
So on this one, I've got tender Muppet babies and
Windy's and we will combine all of these things together,
and we're gonna put that in a deep prior because
anything in a deep fryer just tastes good. Just anything
fried just as delicious. So number number number, you can
(08:14):
tell who Brian Dayball's buddies are in the media. It's
not that hard to test. I'm not that bright. I
do an overnight show, but I know the people right
now that are advocating and that are preaching and singing
the gospel about Brian Dayball. They are in the tank.
They are in the tank. They're all his media buddies.
(08:35):
And like I said, the word on the street is
that Brian Dave Ball is a great guy. Everyone loves
hanging out with him, which is how he was able
to keep the job that he was unfit for for
as long as he kept the job with the Giants
and all these guys trying to convince you, you and
me that the Giants were building something. What were they building?
(08:56):
They were building an outhouse is what they were building. Okay,
there's one problem with is building the offense up. The
offense was dial up Internet. That was the Giants offense. Well,
what about that game when he scored a lot of plays? Okay,
what about the other games? What about the other games?
I don't have any skin in the game, but it
was past time for the Giants here to go on
(09:19):
tender and swipe left, not right, not right, swipe left unattractive.
Brian day Ball has been living off borrow time. There's
only so many days. You get, Well, I'm the guy
that coached up Josh Allen. I'm the guy. What about me,
Josh Allen? All shove it up your tuckers. With Josh
Allen living on borrow time in that fluke fu Gase
(09:43):
playoff situation a couple of years ago, you go two
and eight this year, uh, and since coach of the year,
he somehow won that eleven and thirty three. That is
a brown bag situation, as in brown backett, pack your
staff f up in a brown bag and get out
of here and enough. Brian day Ball overall forty losses,
(10:06):
twenty wins and one time twenty games under five hundred,
a three thirty six winning percentage for the now former
head coach of the Giants. Now what does that mean
in Layman's terms, So that means if you look at
the NFL since the merger, there have been one hundred
and sixty six coaches, one hundred and sixty six coaches
(10:27):
that have met the criteria, and Brian day Ball has
in that group one hundred sixty sixties, ranked one hundred
and fifty fourth. So he's in the ninety third percent tile,
which means ninety three percent of all coaching hires have
been better than Brian Dayball. But yet his buddies get
(10:48):
on television who's not in full and Jackson Darden, Oh
my god, they're acting like the these day ball stands
are acting like they just the Giants just got rid
of Sean Vede two point zero. Like if you combine
Sean McVay and the late Steve Jobs or someone along
that is say, well no, no, no, no, no no no.
(11:11):
Even the movie man Moving Man matchs like, well, this
is ridiculous. Guess what. Brian day Ball is not innovating anything.
I'm sure he's great over a prime rib dinner that's
paid for by the Giants and a nice bottle of
alcohol and the whole thing at a dinner. Do I
want him coaching an NFL team?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
No? No.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The Giants offense, for the most part, you're gonna judge
him by the full body of work has been prehistoric,
prehistoric with Brian day Ball as the coach, and as
far as the whole chemistry experiment, this is not junior
high school chemistry. And I don't know where that's coming from.
I don't see it. Do you see it? I don't.
(11:54):
I must be missing something. There's got to be a
disconnect because I don't see any sign that this is
good owing as good as some of these idiots are saying.
So pump the breaks. Pump the break. Jackson Dart, whether
or not he makes it or not, will have nothing
to do with Brian Daball nothing. And they're making it
seem like he's a top five quarterback in the NFL
(12:16):
right now. It's because of the scheme for Brian Dayball
the coach, and everybody's being held back. And now this
evil ownership in the front office is involved in all
this stuff. It's like, is he a top ten quarterback?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Is he a top fifteen? No, He's right in the middle.
He's an average NFL quarterback. Jackson dart is ranked eighteenth
in the NFL. He is right now, he's in a wedgie.
He's wedged between Jaden Daniels, who's always hurt these days,
and CJ. Stroud who's also missing games because of concussions
and other things here. So those are the two guys
(12:50):
right there on one side, you got Jayden Daniels. On
the other side, you got c J. Stroud there, And
for the most part, those other quarterbacks have been like
day old Seltzer. It's just not that great for Jayden
Danigels or CJ. Stroud. Now, as far as Jackson Darthy,
jury is obviously still out. There is no formal decision
that has been made here, and they'll say, oh, he'll
(13:12):
figure something out. But the whole chemistry thing, it was like, dude,
come on, that tells you that they have no argument
to keep the coach because there'd be no reason, absolutely
no reason to bring that up, no reason if there
was something tangible like chemistry is just made up sports gibberish.
It's something that dumb people say. It's like momentum, chemistry, momentum.
(13:36):
It's all bull crap that people just get taught when
they're kids. And they just get they repeat it because
they're lazy and all that stuff. And so, yeah, I
always bring this up because I used to cover the
NBA a lot, and I covered the Clippers in the nineties,
and they those guys, they loved each other. Late nineties,
early two thousands. They had a guy named Darius Miles
and oh he was the life of the party. Quentin Richardson.
Those guys hung out together all the time. They were
(13:58):
playing video games in the road, went out to dinner
and meals and all that. And they could not play basketball.
That saved their life. They sucked, but they got They
got along while that great chemistry, Greg chemistry. Oh Man. Anyway,
turning the page, so the question now becomes Who's got next?
Who's got next? Lane Kiffin has entered the chat, Lane
(14:21):
Kiffen and Clint Kubiak huh who? Yeah? Lane Kiffin and
Clint Kubiak are among the betting favorites as the body
is not yet cold for Brian day Ball in terms
of coaching the Giants, and already the talk is Lane
Kiffin and Clint Kubiak among the favors to be the
next head coach of the Giants. So how would that play?
(14:44):
How would that play with the bass with the giants?
If this assume for the purposes of this monologue that
those are the two guys, So how would that play?
So what you have here, you have the Muppet babies
is what you've got? You've got, or actually the Netpo
babies would be a better way to disc You've got
the Netpo babies. You've got the sons of former NFL
(15:04):
big shots Monty Kiffen and Gary Kubiak. Monty Kiffin the
father of the Tampa two all right back in the day,
Gary Kubiak, John Elway's caddie who hold he held the
clipboard for John Elway. Both dads coached a long time
in the NFL, and certainly Monty Kiffen considered royal he died,
(15:27):
I think it was last year, but he considered royalty
because of the Tampa two defense, which is still mimicked
by a bunch of teams in the NFL, and not
so much Gary Kubiak. But if you look around, right,
both of them NEPO babies. So we know that going
in what is an Internet meme and the other ones
just kind of there. I think we know who the
Internet Meme is the other guy. Clint Kubiak is like
(15:50):
a carbon neutral coach. He's a carbon neutral coach. Now
what does that mean. That means there's no real carbon footprint,
no noise, no headlines, nothing gets you all excited. Just
a guy with the right last name who went into
the family business. And because his dad he got him connections,
he was able to get some jobs. And he's currently
(16:13):
working in Seattle and things are going well for the Seahawks.
And Sam Darnold, who played well last year in minnesota's
playing well again in the regular season until it's a
big game and then he rides the vomit comet. And
so because of that, and there's really a supply chain
shortage of coaches. The name Clint Kubiak has been mentioned
for the Giants. Now Lane Kiffin. Meanwhile, all right, so
(16:34):
Lane Kiffin would bring the full circus parade, and I'm
there for I am talking elephants, camels, zebras, clown cars,
the whole shebang. There'll be a thing of a jig
and what you might call it. Oh, I'm all for it.
He's the ultimate look at me coach? Is there any
(16:55):
coach more about looking at me? Than Lane Kiffen. Every
anything he does is for the matrix. He's fully immersed
in the fake world of social media.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
He is.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
He's the ultimate look at me guy in college football.
He could get any college football job he wants. Really,
he's like the big name that could get any job
he wants. But you'd much rite a coach in the NFL.
College football is a joke compared to the NFL. You'd
much rather to coach in the NFL. All these guys
want to coach in the NFL. And Lane Kiffin though,
here's the thing. He would turn the Giants into a
(17:27):
reality show. It would be a content superstore for those
of us that do sports talk radio. Man, Now, would
it work? Probably not? Probably not. Wouldn't work, but it
doesn't matter. I don't care about that. It'd be a
fun thrill ride, be pretty cool, right, you know, lots
of loopty loops and maybe a few barf bags mixed in.
(17:50):
For Lane Kiffin with the Giants, the problem he's got
to get the job. The Giants are so buttoned up
as a franchise, so conservative, that's the family brand for
the New York Giants. Doesn't seem like they go for
Lane Kiffin striking a pose at the thirty five yard line.
(18:11):
They wouldn't liked it all right, So there you go,
and the fact that the Giants are going to allow
this guy, Joe Shane allegedly to continue as the gym.
We'll see if that actually happens when we get to
the end of the year. Feeling there be a switch
rou on that one that he doesn't seem like he's
(18:31):
willing to go off off the grid on a coach,
and so you're going to bring in another coach, but
you're going to keep the general manager, which means the
coach and GM are not aligned. And so you're essentially
rearranging the furniture on the Exxon Valdiz. It's not going
very well. It's gonna be a big oil spill there,
and so so much for the full reboot. You know,
(18:53):
turn the computer off, turn it back on. Wait a minute,
blah blah blah blah blah. Now someone's gonna take the job.
It pays very well. It's New York wat Jersey, and yeah,
you get pay a lot in taxes, and I guess
you can get free free bus rides if you coach
the Giants, you get free cheese at the government store.
So that'll be good. And there's only thirty two of
the jobs, so there you go, you know, so somebody
will take it. And if it's Laye Kiffin, buckle up,
(19:16):
I'm there for it. Why not. It's gonna be gonna
be loud, and it'll be fast and will likely crash
and burn spectacularly. That's fine, all right. Final point. So,
now that Brian Dayball has been decommissioned as the coach
of the Giants, what do you think happens? Suddenly he
becomes hot to trot. He becomes the hottest offensive mind
(19:39):
on the market, the guy that just proved he can't
get the job done as a head coach. He was
horrific in that job, one of the worst coaches in
the ninety third percent tile as a head coach, and
his resume actually got better from getting canned. Actually got
(19:59):
better from getting canned. Yeah, so okay, that's that's the
way it is. Uh So they asked the Buffalo Bills
he used to work in Buffalo. His claimed defend the
reason he got the Giants job is because he was
credited with Josh Josh Allen could not even eat his
food without being being cut up and all that, and
(20:20):
he he was eating baby food until Brian Daball came in.
And so Buffalo coach Sean McDermott was asked about this
and basically said, now, we're good when asked whether or
not Brian day Ball would be joining the Giants, join
the Bills from the Giants and some kind of fluff
no show consulting job which all these guys get, you know,
(20:42):
paid a lot of money, fly in, you know, text
a few times a day, that kind of thing. So
when asked about a reunion, he essentially said, we're good.
So the question is this, with Brian Daball on the market,
the Buffalo Bills underachieving this season, what was that response
by mc dermott about why would you not at least
(21:04):
text and say no, come buy sometime. I'll get you
a cream puff. You can have a cream puff and
watch Josh Allen practice. So my theory on this, and
I don't think I'm wrong on it, is this is personal.
To totally dismiss this is a personal situation. Like the
old marketing campaign for Wendy's back in the day, where's
(21:25):
the beef, Where's the beef now? Here's the beef. There's
clearly a beef there. And if there was no beef.
If there was no beef, then you'd say, well, we'll
talk to him, but we like our coaching staff, we'll
see you never know, he might not want to coach.
He didn't say anything. McDermott and Daball I remember from
doing monologues about this back in the day and went
(21:47):
back and I checked some of my notes, and they
were not They were not best buds at the end.
In fact, there was a lot of chatter that you're
not gonna see McDermott and day Ball splitting chicken wings
at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. It's not gonna happen.
They were loggerheads, didn't really like each other all that much.
(22:09):
And McDermott was, I believe, jealous of the amount of
attention that the day Ball coaching genius was getting and
getting credited by all the TV guys for propping up
Josh allenrmous wood wood abow me and all that stuff.
So day Ball now he has been type cast. He
(22:30):
has been type cast as a good coordinator and a
bad head coach, the kind of a guy that will
keep getting gigs year after year after year after year
until the next offensive fad comes along, and then he
will be persona non grata. Brian David. That's the NFL's
(22:51):
comfort food. It's saying what we want. He's got coaching experience,
head coaching experience. Yeah, but he suck. It doesn't matter.
He's got coaching experience. You know, same names. They just
get reh shuffled around the NFL and there is a
supply chain shortage on available coaches. But you just microwave
the resume. That's it. Serve it up again. Go to
a new town like the carpetbaggery that you are. It
(23:12):

question in a hashtag. Well, you know, I guess ask

Speaker 7 (26:28):
They should be right, they're not yetolen all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:35):

if you panhandle and you're in the wrong part of
the street where somebody else that's their territory.

a weed man from Miami or Hollywood floor. He says, Hey,
ask a weed man. Would you would you rather hold
someone's pocket in jail or on the streets. I think

I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
But I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
I have no idea what that means. Well, you know
what that means?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
No, reably not. Maybe we don't want to know what
that means it's possible we don't this kind of some
kind of weird like prison world.

l Shanahan, It's Smeller.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
To the third degree? This is one gets up.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
After the Buccaneers lost to the Patriots on Sunday, Baker
Mayfield said he thinks the team lacks killer instinct and
has a problem with complacency.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Ben, do you think that's the problem with Tampa Bay? No,
First of all, the problem is they're not like wired
like Baker Mayfield. There's a lack of talent there. Receivers
are out and the guys have not stepped off. That's
the issue. They they played pretty hard. I thought they're
just not that talent. They're not good.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
Next, the Seahawks have not won four straight games. Following
the blowout win of the Cardinals. After the game, Jackson
Smith and Jigba said that the team feels like they
have something special.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Yeah, Ben, do you think they have something special? Uh? Well,
that could be why they ride the short bus. I mean,
what do you mean by that? I don't know what
there is something special? I don't know. No, it's that's
like chemistry and momentum. It means nothing. Next.
Speaker 8 (38:56):
Over the weekend, an NHL agent turned podcaster made the
claim that he heard an MLBF threatened Bryce Harper. The
official reportedly scolded Harper for cursing the commissioner, saying, that's
how you end up in a ditch. And are you
buying that story?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Absolutely? I believe it. There are some real scumbags that
work for Major League Baseball in the commissioner's office. I've
heard similar things. I'm not shocked by it.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
How do we do that?
Speaker 4 (39:18):
We put on the bar by the game?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I won the game, Jerome
Speaker 1 (39:21):
The Charles did, I won the game.
Pizza, Pizza. It's our num Bird two. Our two is
ready for you. We start with the coaching change of
the week as a shakeup in Jersey. Did Brian day
Ball deserve more time to coach Jackson Dart and the Giants?
Some media pugnance questioning the timing. Also, Lane Kiffen and
(00:23):
Clint Kubiak are currently among the betting favorites to become
the next head coach of the Giants. How would that
play with the bass? In Jersey? And Buffalo coach Sean
McDermott basically said, now we're good when asked about a
reunion with Brian day Ball in Buffalo. What is that
all about? We'll get to it right now here. It
(00:44):
is settle in our number two. A shakeup in the
coaching ranks. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
We're in the air everywhere, BFFs as we are balanced,
fair and firm, unless we are none of those things.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Coast to coast, border to water and beyond. On the
vast and unreasonably powerful microphones of FSR M mondating live
from the shelf, from the top shelf where Mama hides
the cookies, from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios

about that. He never smiles, but he almost smiled when
he heard about that. Tire rack dot Com the way

So I lead this hour. Change it up the Monday
night game. Bit of a dud there as the Eagles
win the riveting ten to seven game. We anyway, let's
(03:01):
go to the coaching carousel. Round and round and round
and round and round and round the coaching carousel. So
on a giving year, anywhere from seven to ten coaches
typically get whacked in the NFL. That's normally how this goes.
Seven to ten coaches typically get whacked in the NFL,
And so it got cranked up on Monday. We anticipated
(03:21):
that somebody was going to lose their job when the
sun rose in the East on Monday. We talked about
this in the Overnight Show in a previous episode, and
it turns out that we were correct. We weren't sure
whether it would be the head coach or one of
the coordinators. But it turns out if you did not
hear by now, perhaps not. We have learned that the
g alright Hey and t S Giants they fired coach
(03:43):
Brian day Ball. He gon' he's out here, Na Lada,
Hey go bye, He's out. Brian Dave Ball moving on
from the coaching ranks. There head coach of the Giants,
and he's out and midway through his fourth season of
(04:04):
suckage with the Giants two and eight record, two and eight.
Oh Man offensive quarterer of Mike Kofka will take over
as the interim coach at one point, a up and
coming star and the coach he rings and not lately,
but he'll be the interim coach. Always watch out for
that interim coach. You always want to avoid giving the
(04:26):
full time job to the interim coach. If you don't
believe me, look up Romeo Crennell. Anyway, So the move
made by ownership, It came a day after the Giants
did the impossible. They've been a laughing stock of a
franchise and they embarrassed themselves some more with that double
(04:46):
digit blown lead yet again against the man that has
the Manny and the petty down Pat Caleb Williams and
Chicago as the Bears came back down ten and we
talked about Greg Olsen, the Fox brought podcaster who put
the coach Brian day Ball on blast. Normally, when a
broadcaster goes after a coach or a player they've been
(05:09):
given the green light to do that. So Olsen, it
turns out he blasted Brian Daball. He must have known
if the Giants did not win that game that the
coach was going to be fired, and he was. He
was whacked. That's it. So Joe Shane, the most amazing
part of this is this guy, Joe Shane, not spelled
like that, will remain as the general manager of the Giants. Yeah.
(05:34):
John Mara and the other ownership people there said that
the GM will lead a search party. It's a rescue
and recovery mission for the franchise, which sucks. Now day
Ball the second coach number two that has been has
been let go as Brian Callahan, whose team, as to
(05:59):
quote Cam we asked, that was his quote about the
Tennessee Titans, So we ass coach got let go. He
was let go after six games. Titans started out one
in five and they have not won since then. So listen.
As far as the Giants, not everyone has pleached, which
blows me away like this seemed like one of those
moves in sports that no one would have a problem with.
(06:22):
How can you possibly justify keeping Brian day Ball as
the coach it makes no sense. But sure enough, there
are people of some prominence, depending on who you give
prominence to, that are on the record, on the record
stating that this is not a good move. Some of
the commentary coming in from the NFL, the poor Brian
(06:46):
day Ball crowd, it's not fair. It's not fair, led
by who else but that dunce Dan Orlowsky, the man
that famously playing for the Ohen sixteen Lions decided to
run out of the back of the end zone. That
guy's now giving you football commentary on television. That's right. Yes, Anyway,
Dan Olasky and the usual other NFL pity party crew,
(07:09):
they're like, oh man, this is a mistake. This is
a mistake, saying the Giants should have let Brian day
Ball finish what is essentially like a love story with
Jackson Dart, the coach and the player Jackson Dart there
because they had I love this good chemistry. Bull crap.
(07:32):
All right, So that is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question did Brian day Ball deserve
more time? Did the Giants not give him enough time
to coach Jackson Dart the prodigy from Old Miss, and
did he not get the fair shake with the Giants.
(07:53):
So on this one, I've got tender Muppet babies and
Windy's and we will combine all of these things together,
and we're gonna put that in a deep prior because
anything in a deep fryer just tastes good. Just anything
fried just as delicious. So number number number, you can
(08:14):
tell who Brian Dayball's buddies are in the media. It's
not that hard to test. I'm not that bright. I
do an overnight show, but I know the people right
now that are advocating and that are preaching and singing
the gospel about Brian Dayball. They are in the tank.
They are in the tank. They're all his media buddies.
(08:35):
And like I said, the word on the street is
that Brian Dave Ball is a great guy. Everyone loves
hanging out with him, which is how he was able
to keep the job that he was unfit for for
as long as he kept the job with the Giants
and all these guys trying to convince you, you and
me that the Giants were building something. What were they building?
(08:56):
They were building an outhouse is what they were building. Okay,
there's one problem with is building the offense up. The
offense was dial up Internet. That was the Giants offense. Well,
what about that game when he scored a lot of plays? Okay,
what about the other games? What about the other games?
I don't have any skin in the game, but it
was past time for the Giants here to go on
(09:19):
tender and swipe left, not right, not right, swipe left unattractive.
Brian day Ball has been living off borrow time. There's
only so many days. You get, Well, I'm the guy
that coached up Josh Allen. I'm the guy. What about me,
Josh Allen? All shove it up your tuckers. With Josh
Allen living on borrow time in that fluke fu Gase
(09:43):
playoff situation a couple of years ago, you go two
and eight this year, uh, and since coach of the year,
he somehow won that eleven and thirty three. That is
a brown bag situation, as in brown backett, pack your
staff f up in a brown bag and get out
of here and enough. Brian day Ball overall forty losses,
(10:06):
twenty wins and one time twenty games under five hundred,
a three thirty six winning percentage for the now former
head coach of the Giants. Now what does that mean
in Layman's terms, So that means if you look at
the NFL since the merger, there have been one hundred
and sixty six coaches, one hundred and sixty six coaches
(10:27):
that have met the criteria, and Brian day Ball has
in that group one hundred sixty sixties, ranked one hundred
and fifty fourth. So he's in the ninety third percent tile,
which means ninety three percent of all coaching hires have
been better than Brian Dayball. But yet his buddies get
(10:48):
on television who's not in full and Jackson Darden, Oh
my god, they're acting like the these day ball stands
are acting like they just the Giants just got rid
of Sean Vede two point zero. Like if you combine
Sean McVay and the late Steve Jobs or someone along
that is say, well no, no, no, no, no no no.
(11:11):
Even the movie man Moving Man matchs like, well, this
is ridiculous. Guess what. Brian day Ball is not innovating anything.
I'm sure he's great over a prime rib dinner that's
paid for by the Giants and a nice bottle of
alcohol and the whole thing at a dinner. Do I
want him coaching an NFL team?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
No? No.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The Giants offense, for the most part, you're gonna judge
him by the full body of work has been prehistoric,
prehistoric with Brian day Ball as the coach, and as
far as the whole chemistry experiment, this is not junior
high school chemistry. And I don't know where that's coming from.
I don't see it. Do you see it? I don't.
(11:54):
I must be missing something. There's got to be a
disconnect because I don't see any sign that this is
good owing as good as some of these idiots are saying.
So pump the breaks. Pump the break. Jackson Dart, whether
or not he makes it or not, will have nothing
to do with Brian Daball nothing. And they're making it
seem like he's a top five quarterback in the NFL
(12:16):
right now. It's because of the scheme for Brian Dayball
the coach, and everybody's being held back. And now this
evil ownership in the front office is involved in all
this stuff. It's like, is he a top ten quarterback?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Is he a top fifteen? No, He's right in the middle.
He's an average NFL quarterback. Jackson dart is ranked eighteenth
in the NFL. He is right now, he's in a wedgie.
He's wedged between Jaden Daniels, who's always hurt these days,
and CJ. Stroud who's also missing games because of concussions
and other things here. So those are the two guys
(12:50):
right there on one side, you got Jayden Daniels. On
the other side, you got c J. Stroud there, And
for the most part, those other quarterbacks have been like
day old Seltzer. It's just not that great for Jayden
Danigels or CJ. Stroud. Now, as far as Jackson Darthy,
jury is obviously still out. There is no formal decision
that has been made here, and they'll say, oh, he'll
(13:12):
figure something out. But the whole chemistry thing, it was like, dude,
come on, that tells you that they have no argument
to keep the coach because there'd be no reason, absolutely
no reason to bring that up, no reason if there
was something tangible like chemistry is just made up sports gibberish.
It's something that dumb people say. It's like momentum, chemistry, momentum.
(13:36):
It's all bull crap that people just get taught when
they're kids. And they just get they repeat it because
they're lazy and all that stuff. And so, yeah, I
always bring this up because I used to cover the
NBA a lot, and I covered the Clippers in the nineties,
and they those guys, they loved each other. Late nineties,
early two thousands. They had a guy named Darius Miles
and oh he was the life of the party. Quentin Richardson.
Those guys hung out together all the time. They were
(13:58):
playing video games in the road, went out to dinner
and meals and all that. And they could not play basketball.
That saved their life. They sucked, but they got They
got along while that great chemistry, Greg chemistry. Oh Man. Anyway,
turning the page, so the question now becomes Who's got next?
Who's got next? Lane Kiffin has entered the chat, Lane
(14:21):
Kiffen and Clint Kubiak huh who? Yeah? Lane Kiffin and
Clint Kubiak are among the betting favorites as the body
is not yet cold for Brian day Ball in terms
of coaching the Giants, and already the talk is Lane
Kiffin and Clint Kubiak among the favors to be the
next head coach of the Giants. So how would that play?
(14:44):
How would that play with the bass with the giants?
If this assume for the purposes of this monologue that
those are the two guys, So how would that play?
So what you have here, you have the Muppet babies
is what you've got? You've got, or actually the Netpo
babies would be a better way to disc You've got
the Netpo babies. You've got the sons of former NFL
(15:04):
big shots Monty Kiffen and Gary Kubiak. Monty Kiffin the
father of the Tampa two all right back in the day,
Gary Kubiak, John Elway's caddie who hold he held the
clipboard for John Elway. Both dads coached a long time
in the NFL, and certainly Monty Kiffen considered royal he died,
(15:27):
I think it was last year, but he considered royalty
because of the Tampa two defense, which is still mimicked
by a bunch of teams in the NFL, and not
so much Gary Kubiak. But if you look around, right,
both of them NEPO babies. So we know that going
in what is an Internet meme and the other ones
just kind of there. I think we know who the
Internet Meme is the other guy. Clint Kubiak is like
(15:50):
a carbon neutral coach. He's a carbon neutral coach. Now
what does that mean. That means there's no real carbon footprint,
no noise, no headlines, nothing gets you all excited. Just
a guy with the right last name who went into
the family business. And because his dad he got him connections,
he was able to get some jobs. And he's currently
(16:13):
working in Seattle and things are going well for the Seahawks.
And Sam Darnold, who played well last year in minnesota's
playing well again in the regular season until it's a
big game and then he rides the vomit comet. And
so because of that, and there's really a supply chain
shortage of coaches. The name Clint Kubiak has been mentioned
for the Giants. Now Lane Kiffin. Meanwhile, all right, so
(16:34):
Lane Kiffin would bring the full circus parade, and I'm
there for I am talking elephants, camels, zebras, clown cars,
the whole shebang. There'll be a thing of a jig
and what you might call it. Oh, I'm all for it.
He's the ultimate look at me coach? Is there any
(16:55):
coach more about looking at me? Than Lane Kiffen. Every
anything he does is for the matrix. He's fully immersed
in the fake world of social media.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
He is.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
He's the ultimate look at me guy in college football.
He could get any college football job he wants. Really,
he's like the big name that could get any job
he wants. But you'd much rite a coach in the NFL.
College football is a joke compared to the NFL. You'd
much rather to coach in the NFL. All these guys
want to coach in the NFL. And Lane Kiffin though,
here's the thing. He would turn the Giants into a
(17:27):
reality show. It would be a content superstore for those
of us that do sports talk radio. Man, Now, would
it work? Probably not? Probably not. Wouldn't work, but it
doesn't matter. I don't care about that. It'd be a
fun thrill ride, be pretty cool, right, you know, lots
of loopty loops and maybe a few barf bags mixed in.
(17:50):
For Lane Kiffin with the Giants, the problem he's got
to get the job. The Giants are so buttoned up
as a franchise, so conservative, that's the family brand for
the New York Giants. Doesn't seem like they go for
Lane Kiffin striking a pose at the thirty five yard line.
(18:11):
They wouldn't liked it all right, So there you go,
and the fact that the Giants are going to allow
this guy, Joe Shane allegedly to continue as the gym.
We'll see if that actually happens when we get to
the end of the year. Feeling there be a switch
rou on that one that he doesn't seem like he's
(18:31):
willing to go off off the grid on a coach,
and so you're going to bring in another coach, but
you're going to keep the general manager, which means the
coach and GM are not aligned. And so you're essentially
rearranging the furniture on the Exxon Valdiz. It's not going
very well. It's gonna be a big oil spill there,
and so so much for the full reboot. You know,
(18:53):
turn the computer off, turn it back on. Wait a minute,
blah blah blah blah blah. Now someone's gonna take the job.
It pays very well. It's New York wat Jersey, and yeah,
you get pay a lot in taxes, and I guess
you can get free free bus rides if you coach
the Giants, you get free cheese at the government store.
So that'll be good. And there's only thirty two of
the jobs, so there you go, you know, so somebody
will take it. And if it's Laye Kiffin, buckle up,
(19:16):
I'm there for it. Why not. It's gonna be gonna
be loud, and it'll be fast and will likely crash
and burn spectacularly. That's fine, all right. Final point. So,
now that Brian Dayball has been decommissioned as the coach
of the Giants, what do you think happens? Suddenly he
becomes hot to trot. He becomes the hottest offensive mind
(19:39):
on the market, the guy that just proved he can't
get the job done as a head coach. He was
horrific in that job, one of the worst coaches in
the ninety third percent tile as a head coach, and
his resume actually got better from getting canned. Actually got
(19:59):
better from getting canned. Yeah, so okay, that's that's the
way it is. Uh So they asked the Buffalo Bills
he used to work in Buffalo. His claimed defend the
reason he got the Giants job is because he was
credited with Josh Josh Allen could not even eat his
food without being being cut up and all that, and
(20:20):
he he was eating baby food until Brian Daball came in.
And so Buffalo coach Sean McDermott was asked about this
and basically said, now, we're good when asked whether or
not Brian day Ball would be joining the Giants, join
the Bills from the Giants and some kind of fluff
no show consulting job which all these guys get, you know,
(20:42):
paid a lot of money, fly in, you know, text
a few times a day, that kind of thing. So
when asked about a reunion, he essentially said, we're good.
So the question is this, with Brian Daball on the market,
the Buffalo Bills underachieving this season, what was that response
by mc dermott about why would you not at least
(21:04):
text and say no, come buy sometime. I'll get you
a cream puff. You can have a cream puff and
watch Josh Allen practice. So my theory on this, and
I don't think I'm wrong on it, is this is personal.
To totally dismiss this is a personal situation. Like the
old marketing campaign for Wendy's back in the day, where's
(21:25):
the beef, Where's the beef now? Here's the beef. There's
clearly a beef there. And if there was no beef.
If there was no beef, then you'd say, well, we'll
talk to him, but we like our coaching staff, we'll
see you never know, he might not want to coach.
He didn't say anything. McDermott and Daball I remember from
doing monologues about this back in the day and went
(21:47):
back and I checked some of my notes, and they
were not They were not best buds at the end.
In fact, there was a lot of chatter that you're
not gonna see McDermott and day Ball splitting chicken wings
at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. It's not gonna happen.
They were loggerheads, didn't really like each other all that much.
(22:09):
And McDermott was, I believe, jealous of the amount of
attention that the day Ball coaching genius was getting and
getting credited by all the TV guys for propping up
Josh allenrmous wood wood abow me and all that stuff.
So day Ball now he has been type cast. He
(22:30):
has been type cast as a good coordinator and a
bad head coach, the kind of a guy that will
keep getting gigs year after year after year after year
until the next offensive fad comes along, and then he
will be persona non grata. Brian David. That's the NFL's
(22:51):
comfort food. It's saying what we want. He's got coaching experience,
head coaching experience. Yeah, but he suck. It doesn't matter.
He's got coaching experience. You know, same names. They just
get reh shuffled around the NFL and there is a
supply chain shortage on available coaches. But you just microwave
the resume. That's it. Serve it up again. Go to
a new town like the carpetbaggery that you are. It

Speaker 1 (38:04):
To the third degree? This is one gets up.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
After the Buccaneers lost to the Patriots on Sunday, Baker
Mayfield said he thinks the team lacks killer instinct and
has a problem with complacency.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Ben, do you think that's the problem with Tampa Bay? No,
First of all, the problem is they're not like wired
like Baker Mayfield. There's a lack of talent there. Receivers
are out and the guys have not stepped off. That's
the issue. They they played pretty hard. I thought they're
just not that talent. They're not good.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
Next, the Seahawks have not won four straight games. Following
the blowout win of the Cardinals. After the game, Jackson
Smith and Jigba said that the team feels like they
have something special.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Yeah, Ben, do you think they have something special? Uh? Well,
that could be why they ride the short bus. I mean,

Absolutely? I believe it. There are some real scumbags that

heard similar things. I'm not shocked by it.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero.
