twenty twenty five, up all night recording this podcast even
on a holidays. Hope you have a good Martin Luther
King day. Here in our number two, where did things
go wrong for Sean mcvay's l i Ams in Philadelphia? Also,
(00:22):
what are the odds that Matthew Stafford returns to the
Rams in twenty twenty five? He was rather vague when
asked about his future. Also, did Rams rookie Jared Verse
trashing the Eagle fans help push Philly to victory? We'll
get to that as well. And who knows what else
will pop up, including a verbal octagon we have that scheduled,
the verbal octagon taking a surprising twist here in our
(00:45):
number two. You just got to listen and find out. Also,
see if you hear the thing that can't be said
that was said or was it said? You'll hear that
unedited here in our number two. Here it is give
it up, Stuck in the snow. Welcome in the beginning
(01:05):
of another hour of the Benvalor Show. We are in

(01:54):
as we navigate our way through the NFL playoff weekend
reminder coming up later this hour. It is scheduled the
verbal Octagon two point zero. There's a college football national
championship game that will be played later on on Monday night,
and Notre Dame versus Ohio State. The Octagon is gonna
(02:16):
take place in about twenty five thirty minutes from now.
Give her take. We'll take some calls before then, we'll
see if not we will declare, will declare the winner.
We'll see if that happens or not. But Buck Nutts
representing Ohio State, born bred and all that in Columbus
versus a man who's a proud golden domer, Alameda Lou.
(02:37):
I'm sure Alameda Lou will not flake on us at all.
But we begin this hour from Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, a
snow packed afternoon. Well it didn't start this way, but
it ended up that way in the divisional round where
Matthew Stafford and the lri Ams traveling circus heading to
the Delaware Valley to wrestle with Jalen hr and the
(03:00):
eight Eagles. The winner against the host host the NFC
Championship game because the Detroit Lions choked against the Washington
football team, so the Commanders will be the road team
and they would take on the winner of this Philadelphia
LA team. I assume you know who won by now,
(03:20):
but maybe not. Maybe didn't watch the game. As Sequon
Barkley pouring salt on the wound of the New York
Giants in an Eagle uniform, he dashed through the snow
the winter Wonderland. He had massive run seventy eight yard
touchdown for Philadelphia, sixty two yard touchdown for the Eagles.
(03:41):
He finished with two hundred and five yards rushing. Jalen
Hurts had forty four yards on a one carry for
a touchdown. That's pretty much all he did. The Eagles
held on by the skin on their chiney chinchin, held
on by the skin on their chinny chinchin, and they
get passed the Rams twenty eight to twenty two to
reach the FC Championship Game for the second time in
(04:04):
three years. But the better story is in the losing
locker room, and so that is where we will focus.
Let us discuss question where did things go wrong for
Sean mcvay's Rams. They won the statuet but lost the game.
Where did things go wrong for Sean mcvay's Rams. So
I've got drive through utensils and Hulk of Maniac and
(04:27):
we will combine all of these things together and we
will provide a investigation. A Mather Show investigation is what
we're going to do. So Nber, Yes, this is not
open heart surgery. We're just talking about sports. We're just
(04:48):
talking about a random football playoff game. The Rams sucked
at a time you cannot suck. That would be the
start of the fourth quarter, but really only for a
few minutes at the start of the fourth quarter. That
was enough to sink their battleship. That's the problem. They
matched the Eagles blow for blow. In fact, they won
the statuet. But it was eleven seconds in. That was
(05:10):
the point of demarcation for the Rams. Eleven seconds in
to the fourth quarter. The Rams were trailing by one point.
It's a sixteen to fifteen game. The Rams trailing by
one point, Sean McVay decided to leave the stadium. He
went out, He went through the drive through at Windy's.
He ended up ordering not one, but two Frosty's and
(05:31):
Frosty the snow Man, Kyrine Williams, a golden domer. He
went to Notre Dame. He played in cold weather. You
wouldn't know it because the Ram running back. Yeah, he
turned the ball over right around midfield. The ball was
returned to the Ram ten yard line. Rams up by one,
cough up the football and that ultimately led to a
(05:53):
field goal by the Eagles. So now you're down by four.
That was Frosty the Snowman number one, Frosty the Snowman
number two. La Very. Next drive, Matthew Stafford coughed up
a for a ball and fumba that was also in
Ram territory. The thirty eight yard line, handing the ball,
setting up the Eagles offense, giving the Eagles a short
(06:15):
field that they couldn't get a touchdown because they're not
really not that good. But the Eagles got a field
goal twenty two to fifteen that was Frost to Ea
the snowman number two. And so in the span of
a couple of minutes, the Rams went from potentially driving
down the field to have a field goal attempt to
(06:36):
take the lead, be up by two, or a touchdown
to go up by a bunch, and it didn't. Hap
Those two fumbles by Tyrone Williams and Matthew Stafford ultimately
provided the difference in the game. Good afternoon, good evening,
and good night. But a team from the West Coast,
a supposedly soft team against a big, tough Burley Philadelphia
(06:59):
Eagle team. I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan. I'm not feeling
very good cause that game was a lot closer than
it needed to be. Now, Page two. Following the loss,
all right, following the loss, Matthew Stafford was quizzed about
his future. I think we have some audio on that.
Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Matthew Stafford asked
about what's going to happen going forward. Take a listen.
(07:20):
I'm so proud to be associated with this group, and
you know, as far as my future goes, I mean,
it's thirty minutes after the last game, so I'll take
some time to think about it. But I feel like
I was playing some pretty good ball. You got football
left in you sure feels like it. You might want
to see a doctor and have that taken out anyway,
So Stafford saying, hey, take some time to think about it.
(07:42):
That was the money quote about his future, leaving the
open end to that question. No, I don't know. The
plot thickens. So where answer people here? What are the odds?
Matthew Stafford returns to the Rams twenty twenty five's regular season.
What are the odds Matthew Stafford returns to the Rams again?
(08:04):
His commentary, just heard it there, takes some time to
think about it, as what he said. So I'm gonna
set the malor odds at minus one point fifty on
Stafford returning to the La Rams. That implies a sixty
percent chance, but also a forty percent chance he does
not come back to the Rams. And here's why. A
(08:25):
couple of years ago, the Rams came this close you
can't see my fingers, but this close to getting rid
of Matthew Stafford. They were ready to move on. They
thought he was too damaged and they were looking to
unload Stafford. It didn't work out at that point. And
so the Rams right now and Stafford yet again, are
staring at utensils. They are at a fork in the road,
(08:48):
a fork in the road. Stafford played the twenty twenty
four regular season and now obviously the postseason, essentially a
one year contract. Now he got paid very well, the
riches of Solomon or in this case, the riches of
State and Croncky, the owner, forty million dollars essentially for
one year. The contract allows the Rams and Stafford to reassess,
(09:08):
to reassess after the season. The season is now over
and a wa la, here we are back at the
fork in the road, the crossroads. Stafford has been a
year to year or year to year really for a
couple of season. Now the Rams they have no safety net,
which I'm fine with. It'll be kind of fun to
see what they do if Stafford does leave. All of
(09:31):
their eggs have been in the Stafford basket. They had
Jimmy Garoppolo, who's pretty washed up as the backup, and
so they'll have to turn over some rocks and futs
around to try to find a quarterback if Stafford retires
or if he goes to some other team. But the
smart money says he goes back one year year to
(09:51):
year situation. It's sixty forty. As they said. Now the positives,
the weigh the positives and the negatives and all that
the positives are. He's comfortable with McVeigh. Mcvay's comfortable with him.
The Rams are set up to be a good team
year in and year out because they draft, They drafted well,
they have the money to spend, they sign free agents
and whatnot. Rams have a stud wide receiver, Pulka Nakua.
(10:14):
Their other stud wide receiver, Cooper Cup, appears to be
washed up all of a sudden, but they have other
playmakers the negatives. Matthew Stafford is about to turn thirty seven,
has a history. His medical chart is reminiscent of Kawhi
Leonard or Anthony Davis from the NBA. Gets hurt quite
a bit. He's battered, beaten, bruised, all of that, and
(10:35):
so if Stafford's gone, the Rams will have to go
down to the flea market. And you look at the
quarterbacks that are going to change teams or could change
teams this offseason. There are some real turds. Sam Darnold,
Derek Carr, Aaron Rogers, Kirk Cousins is out there, Russell Wilson,
justin Fields and and I go on, that's the quarterback
(10:57):
shuffle this offseason. That's the quarterback shuffle. So Stafford conceivably
if he wanted to seems to like La and the
vibe in LA and his wife's annoying, does that stupid podcast?
But they could run off to Pittsburgh or somewhere like that,
Stafford and play for the Steelers and give it a
go there with Mike Tom. That's unlikely to happen now.
Final point, so prior to the Ram Egle game, prior
(11:20):
to the game, the Ram rookie stud pass rusher, your
defensive rookie of the year more likely than not. In
the NFL, Jared Verse said quote, I hate Eagles fans.
He said they're so annoying. He pointed out, I hate
Eagle fans is what he said. When I see that
green and white I hate it, Verse said, I actually
(11:42):
get upset. He stated, like, I actually genuinely get hot.
It's like hot flashes, like you said, going through menopause
or something. Wow. All right, So this was of course
played up in the media as a big event. It
was played up as a big deal and all that stuff.
So some connecting the dots say, well, the Eagles won
(12:03):
that game because Jared Vers said this about Eagle fans. Question,
did rams rookie Jared Verse trashing the Philadelphia Eagle fan base?
Did that help push Philly into the winner's circle? All right?
So how about Yeah, Kyrin Williams and Matthew Safford, both
of them fumbled because of that quote, and last they didn't.
(12:26):
You'd have to be a country bumpkin to think that
is the case.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I know there's a lot of country bumpkins out there,
but come on, I did get a kick out of
Verse going hulk of maniac. I saw this clip prior
to the game, playing mind games as he took a
lap Jared Vers, the rookie, around the link before the game.
He was egging on the Eagle fan He was egging
(12:51):
them on, putting his hand around his ear like Caulkamaniac
haul Cogan there the king of him and encouraging the booze,
soaking it all up there, playing the villain role, playing
the villain role, enhancing the fan experience, and verse backed
it up. He played well. He had four tackles, three
tackles for loss, a couple of sacks, a couple quarterback hits,
(13:13):
so he lived up to the billion. The Rams defense
had a couple of meltdowns and that, combined with the fumbles,
did him in. But you know, going in next year,
Rams will probably win the NFC West again. The Niners
are gonna give that stiff brock Purty a lot of money.
Seattle's got no quarterback with Gino Smith, Arizona's trotting out
Alligator Arms Murray. So Rams I don't even care if
Stafford leaves. They're still gonna win the NFC West. Sean
(13:36):
McVay is the top coach in that division by a
country mile. The Rams have Pukin Nako, They've got a
bubbling up defense here, so things are fine in Ramland
and it's pot luck here in the playoffs. It's hit
and miss in the postseason, but you're gonna, you know,
going in, you're gonna have a better coach than everyone
else in the NFC. As Sean McVay is the top
(13:56):
coach in the NFC, So you know that going in.
You know, assuming they sign a free agent or two
and they draft a couple of guys that are halfway decent,
the ramsel continue to climb up the ladder. I know
you're annoyed by that, but that's the reality for Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Though.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
On the other hand, I wouldn't be feeling too good
if I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I would not. Jalen
Hurts when he's healthy isn't all that good. And he's
not healthy. So if Washington they don't have a great defense.
But if they can just box everything up right, force
Jalen Hursts to make a bunch of plays, good luck,
good luck on that. We'll see how that goes. You
(14:31):
imagine Washington makes the Super Bowl. Man. Anyway, it is

Malibu Rubin writes, and he says the late great Casey
casem as imagined by the Bay Areas own negative Land.
These guys are the malad militche of who gives a
blank ponderous man in ponderous. Yeah all right, well, thank
(17:03):
you for sending that along. Who else do we have
but late night drug Tester says, with NFL teams backing
up the Brinks truck for mediocre quarterback play, Stafford is
looking to be a mercenary for one more season in
Tennessee or Detroit. Yeah, good luck on that. I'm not
going to lose any sleep if Stafford leaves no stradinas
who actually supports Gino Smith and admits it you believe
(17:27):
that a guy admitting that they think Gino Smith is
a good quarterback and you would say that publicly. It's
very bizarre. He says things are fine in Ramland. Well
that's the first proper thing you've said, No Stradinas that
is correct. Things are good, things are good. Crying. Craig
in Seattle checks and says, I'll cry, I'll cry if
(17:48):
the Seahawks and Mariners don't improve themselves in the offseason.
Well you can start crying for the Mariners. That ships
left the port there, That ship's left the port for sure.
Who else do we have? Let's see, Yo Mama writes
in we you know it's a big night if Yo
Mama's listening, and he says Mallard and Jared Vers spread
those cheeks. Is Egle fans Eagle fans getting it done?
(18:11):
I don't think I can read the rest of that there. Yeah, yeah,
the fans got it done, clearly. Not the Rams giving
giving the football. It wasn't like the Eagles forced the fumbles.
The Rams just stuff cough the ball up a couple
of times. And Kyrin Williams as good at running back
as he is, that is his kryptonite. He has fumbled
a lot this season. Who else we have? Ferg dog
(18:34):
rights and says Ben. I would be careful slandering country
bumpkins if I were you. Some of them are as
violent as they are stupid, say says Ferg Doug. Well,
thanks for the warning for I appreciate that. I think
we're okay here. Not too worried about it, Not too
worried about it. Let's see nature boy writes in He says,
(18:57):
Luckily for the choking Rams, they don't have to face
the commanders. Oh please, I would have been planning my
trip to New Orleans if the Rams had beaten Philadelphia.
Are you kidding me? Then they're the commanders. Please. The
Rams were easily beaten them, no doubt about it. But
they gave that game away in Philadelphia. Let' see you
can't read that on it. Let's all the phones and
we're gonna have the octagon coming up in a couple
(19:18):

be thirty seconds each to respond and rebut the opening round,
and then round three it'll be bloody knuckles yapping as
both Buck Nuts and Alameda Lou will be in the
octagon at the same time for thirty seconds of witty banter.
(27:39):
We flipped the penny and determined that Alameda Lou is
going to go first and again. The issue here is
who's gonna win the National Championship game Notre Dame and
they take on the buck guys of Oio State and
representing the fighting Iversa's ring that bell here in round one,
Alameda Lou, you're in the ring.

we have real standards at Notre Dame. You have to
get at least to twelve hundred on your statam to
get in there. And blind'sc gott Cousin places for Notre
Dame two and he's one of the best members of

so now we get to the final round of the
verbal octagon, final round of the verbal oction, and we'll

is it already a t K? I mean this is
a little tough here. I feel like this is is

So the college football championship game tonight, Ohio State. I
just looked at the number on Draft Kings and at
DraftKings sports Book, DraftKings sports Book, Lorena, you see right
there there we go hit the band. Ohio State an
(35:09):
eight and a half point favorite over Notre Dame. The
total of the game over under forty five and a half.
Ohio State up to minus three seventy five as a
favorite in that game according to the sportsbook on DraftKings.
So those are the latest numbers. Now, as far as
the octagon is concerned, we go to the judges' scorecards.
(35:29):
We had Alameda Lou versus our friend Buck Nuts and
this fight round I'll go first round one, Round one,
just an overwhelming round one, setting the tone for the
rest of the fight. Now you talking about boxing, the
(35:49):
different type of boxers, and you have the swarmer, you
have the out boxer, you have the slugger, and you
have the boxer puncher. This was right away overwhelming, complete
brawler approach here, just came out and no finesse, just
(36:11):
raw power, raw power from Alameda Lou. In air quotes,
I scored that round ten to eight in favor of
the Alamedalou proxy that was in the fight there, very
personal of nature got upset. Round two. Now, this is
(36:32):
where the fight really went off the rails here because
in round two, Buck Knutts appeared to be a little wobbly.
He was overwhelmed by the insults. He was drowning in
the ring. In round two, both combatants left a little
time on the clock, and so in round two, even
though it was lopsided, I give it a ten to
(36:54):
nine in favor of Alameda lou and then round three
complete domin a nation situation. I scored that ten eight.
There were several personal attacks and Buck Nuts was so
flustered he got the wrong city that burned up in California.
He said, San Francisco, not Los Angeles. He said. Also,
he's a hillbilly, not a redneck. I thought that at
(37:14):
some point was a good line. But I scored that
ten to eight in favor of alamd to loose. So
I had Alamidelu with the wind. Let's go to the
other judges here, Coople Loop and you can vote on this,
by the way, online if you want on X right there,
you can vote Coople Loop. How'd you score the fight?
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I think he summed up the fight pretty much perfectly.
I would have I would have called it a TKO
in that final round. I think there was just we
could have called it a KO in the first round.
Can see that's that's true. We wanted to that's true.
Maybe we should have let buck Let's go first, because
it was just he never recovered from that initial barrage.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah, he was overwhelmed and he was punched drunk the
rest of them.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
And he mentioned, Yeah, he mentioned that, you know buck
Nut did that is that? You know, he didn't realize that,
you know, he thought this was about the game. There's
a lot of personal tax but it wasn't so much
personal as it was about Ohio, which I feel like
is encompassed in the matchup between.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, there's a rivalry element to it that you know,
your location has got to be part of the Ohio state.
Fans will take shots at Notre Dame and you know,
the Catholics, and then the Notre Dame fans will take
shots at Ohio. That's usually how this goes, I think,
so I would I would tend to It didn't go
as personal as last week. We know with Andy.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
The common was that was the most personal I've ever
heard of the are Yeah, that was ugly.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
So you scored it the same base same way I did.
You thought it should have been over after round one. Yeah,
it's a it's a it's a clear win for Alameda.
Scott by proxy, Alameda by proxy. We had a show
to do whether he show. He said he'd do be here.
If he didn't show up, the show must go on.
What about you, Lorna, how'd you score the fight?
Speaker 7 (38:59):
Well, like you said, it was off to a real
great start blind, I mean alam to Lou. He was
pop pop pop, straight out the gate and he rhymed
the fluency.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
It was amazing poetry. Yes, buck nuts. He yeah, well,
he was a little staggered. He was staggered.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
I thought he was more on the he was on
the defense, and he needed to be more offensive, you know,
like come in and try and get get him back,
you know, instead of just being like, wait, no, don't
say that about me.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
He was cut bad in the first round. He couldn't
see his vision vision and he struggled. He was trying
to bob and weave, and then you know it just
like it was just raw pugilism. He was not prepared
for that. He didn't properly train for the fight. Ben,
what's the theme today? Got to train for the fight.
Expect the unexped Oh, expect the unexpected. I didn't get
that moment. I expect the unexpected. But uh yeah, well,
(39:49):
they say that most fights are won in training, and
I think that Buck nuts the training was not proper.
He was not. But how about alam to lou by
proxy who came in at the last second and stepped
in there sounded a lot like blind Scott to me
and just delivered body blow, body blow, body blow, one
after another. Great. Normally the last minute fill in doesn't win.
(40:14):
Wasn't there a movie? Was the movie like Woody Harrelson
movie where he stepped in last minute? Remember the boxing
movie years ago and he stepped in and he won? Uh,
you know what I'm talking about. You have no idea
what I'm talking I swear I saw a movie with
him years ago when he makes one boxing movie and
it was jumping, and it wasn't Rocky. You never saw Rocky?
What's wrong when you didn't see the great Rocky movie?
Although people play it to the bone. Here you go,
(40:37):
that's the movie I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
Yeah,
