Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb birththree, our three ready
to go. The Vikings and the Falcons in this game,
no contest unless it was a contest and in Minnesota
came back and won it late. How do you catalog
Josh Dobbs performance for the Vikings? Also, the Rams played
(00:25):
the Packers at lambeau Field, not the frozen tundra, the
cool tundra. What was your reaction to Brett Rippins's lousy
performance for the LA football team? And the Cardinals made
a quarterback change. We'd like to know why after they
were shut out by the Browns. Why would the Cards
go with Clayton toone who clearly was out of tune
(00:46):
for the Arizona football team. We'll talk about that and
more right now here. It is our number three, enjoying
some bird food late, welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malors Show.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
We bounce around the NFL, we head to the atl
That's our headline to begin this hour. That was the
site of a battle of backup quarterbacks, the Vikings and
Falcons getting together in the Dirty South. Did you watch
this game? Probably not. I had a financial stake in
the game, so I did flip back to this game
(02:10):
quite a bit. The newly acquired josh Dobbs Joshua Dobbs,
he's our quarterback, and he got in the game early.
He threw two touchdown passes, including the go ahead six
yard or to someone named Brandon Powell with just twenty
two seconds on the game clock above the stadium there
(02:30):
in Atlanta, and he also ran for a score and
the Minnesota football team rally to beat the Atlanta football
team thirty one to twenty eight, the final four straight
wins now for the Vikings as Minnesota five and four,
the same record as the Buffalo Bills. They overcame the
loss of their de factos starting quarterback for this week. Anyway,
(02:56):
the plan best laid plans of mice Men and Vikings
was to go with Jaron Hall from BYU, but he
entered the concussion protocol in the first quarter of the game,
so Dobbs, who was listed as the backup he came in,
led the go ahead drive. See the Falcons dropped to
four and five. Atlanta had taken the lead in this
(03:18):
game with two h eight left on the clock. So
let us discuss the question. We'll keep it simple, the
question on this Viking Falcon game, how do you catalog
Josh Dobbs performance for Minnesota. So I've got Russian Blood,
sham Wow, and Beastie Boys, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're going to make a gummy,
(03:42):
gummy situation, because there was a gummy situation for the
Atlanta Falcons in this one. Now, first of all, Josh
Dobbs working his magic. You don't have a great record,
he doesn't have great stats, but considering the level of
team that he has played on, all things considered, he's
slightly above average. And that's a compliment in a league
(04:05):
filled with trash In terms of secondary quarterbacks, Joshua Dopts
did not start this game, as we say, because of
the foolish belief there's no way you can pick up
an NFL offense in a couple of days. It's impossible.
It's outdated thinking, but it continues to bounce around the
(04:28):
echo chamber of the NFL. And he played the role
of MythBuster yet again. This is now the second consecutive
year we have seen a team pick up a quarterback
with little or no practice time, toss them out on
the field and win a game. Baker Mayfield did it.
He didn't play well in that game, but he won
the game. He had the game winning drive for the
(04:49):
Rams after coming over from Carolina last year in a
game on short notice against the Raiders in La and
here this year Joshua in Atlanta and Dang Dong into
the wind column for Dobbs and the Minnesota Vikings says,
he leaped frog up to the top of the depth chart.
(05:09):
Should have been starting this game anyway, and he played
similar to how he did in Arizona. It wasn't perfect,
he wasn't a masterpiece, but it was productive when it
had to be and Dobbs, as broadcasters love to remind us,
as an aerospace engineer, he also must have some Russian
blood in him. You know, in Russia, it's good luck
at the Kremlin if you have bird poop dropped on you.
(05:34):
Now serious, in Russian culture, it's good luck if there's
bird poop that falls on top of you. Pop fest.
So the Falcons dropped some guano on Dobbs, and he
wiped it off and said, okay, I'll win the game.
And he certainly had the mightiest touch at the end
of this one, uncanny ability to get the most out
(05:56):
of a limited, limited skill set. And he's got better
around him, not all of them playing right now. For
the Minnesota football team, the Vikings are a playoff team.
Have you seen the NFC? Have you seen the stank
in the NFC? Right now? There are not seven teams
that deserve to be in the playoffs in the NFC.
They'll get seven teams in because of television purposes, but
(06:19):
there are not seven playoff worthy teams in the National
Football Conference. But they'll get it all right, turning the page,
we heading out to Green Bay, the frozen Tundrad. But
not now, still too early for that Jordan Love looked
halfway decent helped. He was playing an inferior opponent, the
(06:40):
La Rams, who are finally realizing they're not that good.
They're finally realizing they're not that good. It's starting to
settle in Jordan Love two hundred and twenty eight yards
very I think I had a few incompletions. I think
less than five for somebody that I was watching. He
didn't have any incompletions. For the stretch I was tuning in.
He had a touchdown. The Packers Sergic beat the Rams
(07:01):
twenty to three at lambeau Field despite giving the football
away numerous times. It didn't matter. The Packers realized that
they could fumble the ball away and turn it over,
and the La Rams were such incompetent stooges they could
not take advantage of that. But the better story is
on the La side of things. Matthew Stafford was scratched.
(07:22):
He was a late scratch. Though it didn't look like
he was gonna play. Most of the week, the Rams
claimed he might play. They said there was a chance. Well,
he ended up not playing. And then you go out
there and you watch the Rams offense with Brett Rippon.
And I know his uncle won a Super Bowl with
the Washington Redskins back in the day, a long time ago.
(07:45):
And I had made the joke last week I would
rather have his uncle as the quarterback than Brent Rippon,
Mark Rippon, and and boy I was not wrong. That
was a fortuitous joke. Watching this turd play for the Rams,
my god, I literally I watched it. I turned it
off because I knew the Rams had no chance to
(08:05):
win because this guy can't play quarterback in the National
Football League. Brett RiPP I was literally puking in my
mouth watching him play football. Brett Rippan is the sham
wow guy, as in shambollock. That was a total sham.
And I was watching, I was like, shit, this guy's
(08:26):
a sham. Wow, that's what I was saying. Wow. I
was like wow. But he was befuddled by a middling
Packer defense. This is not a great Green Bay Packer defense.
And he's given a pair of studs. How do you
turn studs to duds have Brett Rippon as your quarterback? Like,
the theory was, hey, this guy's in the NFL. Played
(08:47):
with the Broncos' basketball a little bit. But the theory
was all right. You give a middle of the road
quarterback a couple of stud playmakers and they will elevate, right,
elevate the play of the quarterback. We've had this debate
in the past. I remember years ago. Is it the
quarterback that makes the receiver or is it the receiver
that makes the quarterback? Well, in this case the Rams
(09:10):
with two stud playmakers, Cooper Cupp and Puka Nokoua. You
wouldn't know that because old Puke boy over there, Brett
Rippen playing quarterback for the Rams. Cooper Cup and Pooka
Naka were targeted fourteen times against a mid packer defense.
They caught thirty five point seven percent of the passes,
(09:30):
just five of fourteen. There were nine passes that misfired
and five that were completed. Embarrassing and I blame less
Sneed for this. You want to play the blame game.
I blame less Sneed completely botched the quarterback depth chart.
You knew going into this year that Matthew Stafford is
made like ceramic pottery, and pottery is great. This doesn't
(09:56):
last very long, right, He gets damaged rather easily. It cracks.
That's the problem. Fragile would be a word we could
use for Matthew Stafford. So la. They did draft a quarterback,
but the worst possible quarterback you could have drafted Stetson
Bennett from Georgia, who's got some serious off the field
baggage or go. He ain't playing for the Rams right
(10:17):
now because he's got issues. So why would you do that? Right?
You knew whoever the backup was has to play, so
they didn't. They couldn't go with him, and then their
fall back, their fallback option is Brett Ribbon. And I
mean this guy, he's an eight ball, not a magic
eight ball. He's an eight ball in pool, and you're
right behind it when he's your quarterback, and he should
(10:39):
be selling insurance somewhere, not playing in the NFL. And
I'll tell you what, right now he's playing again. I
ain't watching. I'm not the guy saw. I'm not gonna watch.
Why would I waste my time? Most valuable thing we
have in this life is time? Why would I waste
it watching that turd play quarterback for the Arms. I'm
not gonna watch that. Get somebody else. Go to Canada,
(11:01):
get a weirpeg blue bomber, hell, go to Tijuana, go
anywhere get a quarterback. I don't want to watch Brett
ripple another game, but release him. Treat him like a kicker.
Release him. If a kicker missed a bunch of kicks,
you'd release him. The Rams just did that a couple
of weeks ago. Lost the game to Pittsburgh because of
their idiot kicker, so they released the kicker. Well, you
(11:23):
should treat Brett Rippon like a kicker and just get
rid of him and bring somebody else in. And you
know what, treat him like Joshua Dobbs. Don't even have
him practice, and you'll be better off. You'll be better
all right. Finally we head to Cleveland, why cause I
know Dick and Dayton's gonna call next hour and say,
oh wow, Ben, what about that Brown's defense. Oh man,
I'm in and Joe burrow Man congtulations Dick. Dick and
(11:46):
Dayton's gonna love that. So the Browns shut out first
shutout in sixteen years. We are told the brown shut
out the Arizona football team twenty seven and nothing. And
it was about as easy as you could possibly have
it in the NFL. And I flipped over to this
game and I did one of the games we got wrong.
(12:08):
You saw the TV show, you know that I did
take the Cardinals plus the points because I assumed wrongly
that Arizona would not have made a quarterback change if
this guy was not ready to at least compete. And
this guy the gutlass wonder Clayton Tune making his first
NFL start, And so why would the Cardinals questions, why
(12:30):
would the Cardinals decide that Clayton Tone was ready? And
I get the whole trading of Dobbs right, they wanted
to get an extra draft pick, whee, extra draft pick.
But Clayton Tune, that's your guy. I assume you've watched
him play in practice and you thought that guy was
ready to start an NFL game. I'd like to I'd
(12:52):
like to know how you keep your jobs. And then
then it struck me, It absolutely struck me thinking about
Clayton in Tune his debut complete disaster. I had fifty
eight yards passing in the eleven of twenty for fifty
eight yards, had a passer rating of twenty point eight.
We love bringing this up because it's a great fun fact.
(13:13):
The Arizona offense would have had a higher quarterback rating
of every pass Clayton toone. Had just spiked the ball
into the ground, you would have had a passer rating
of thirty nine point whatever it was twenty point eight.
He also had two interceptions and a fumble and a
partridge in a pear tree. He averaged two point eight
yards per attempt, a professional quarterback averaging two point eight
(13:36):
yards per attempt and a cloud of dust. The decision
to start Clayton Tune at quarterback for Arizona it was
a Beastie Boys classic. From the front office sabotage. This
wasn't active sabotage. We talked about tanking, and people point
out that tanking starts with the front office. I am
convinced that the reason the Cardinals made sure to start
(14:01):
Clayton Tune in this game is they wanted to guarantee
the loss and they got what they wanted. Now, whether
or not Jonathan Gannon, the coach, was in cahoots on
this or not, that actually makes him look better. Otherwise
it's just total malpractice across the franchise. But if it's
just the front office, you'd say, Okay, it's the GM
(14:23):
who said we've got to start Clayton too, But prove
me wrong. Tell me that that guy in practice looked
like he knew what he was doing, was ready to
start an NFL game. Seriously, somebody for the Cardinals said
that he's ready to go, and they put him out
there and he pooped his pants right there. Of course
(14:45):
he dropped that too, because why not. Cardinals are one
and eight. They are now in the catbird seat still
after nine weeks of football. The Arizona Cardinals are in
line to draft the crying quarterback. Crying quarterback for USC
who will will he play another college football game. There's
a lot of chatter over the weekend that that is
(15:06):
not going to be the case. That the quarterback at
Hise will throw in the sponge and just start working out,
getting ready for the NFL draft. We will see about that.

easy to sing along to. The little karaoke and all that.
John Denver's been dead for a generation, but they're still
music lives forever. The gans goes on and on and
(19:55):
on on and on, and let's see page down. Can't
read that, Let's go to the phones. Double All Mexican
is in Sandy Ago. As the weight has been lifted
off Raider Nations back. The Raiders have returned the win
column and looked like a real NFL team. Hello, Double
All Mexican. Everybody love the silver Black.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Imagine that you get rid of all the Patriot honks
and we can actually score more than twenty one point.
Imagine that you still got.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
A bunch of them on your roster though. That's the
only problem, though, players.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Yeah, but they're not the coaches. The coaches are the
real problem.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, Josha, Now Josh McDaniels. This week in Double A Mexican,
he spent all day Saturday counting his money. How much
money he's going to be paid by Mark David who cares?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
He's gone. I keep hearing this, like, oh, the Raiders
are paying eighty five million, Great they they you pay
one hundred and sixty million. It's money well spent every dollar,
bin every dollar.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So you don't mind paying twenty five dollars for a
small back of popcorn. You're good with that.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
No, I don't go to the games.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Okay, Oh yeah, then I wouldn't care either.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
That's fine. Yah.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
There you go, and they gouge and the Raiders. The
Raiders know that people buying the tickets aren't Raider fans,
so they gouge them.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Exactly, there's the most expensive tickets in the league.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Ben there, all right, you should go to a Raider
road game. Pick a Raider road game and go to that.
That's you know, that's where it's app go to the
other home game in LA. Yeah, that's true. And that
and their home field advantage. It hasn't paid off for
them in LA either.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
It's all right, hey, But on the matter rise of thing,
the police investigated them ten months before she filed that
lawsuit and they found nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
And the Bills fired them right after.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
You listen, you're right, But the problem is, and then
people read the initial story, they didn't read the follow up,
and they just go buy the initial story. But that's fine.
I mean, listen, you're on the right. I read it.
I agree with you, double o Mexican. But that's the
problem people, and this is one of the problems people
have with the media. People form opinions and then things
change and they just keep going with the original opinion
because people don't don't like to change their mind. They
(22:01):
think they're right, and they just keep doing the same
thing over and over again.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Yeah, you're right on the mask too.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
By the way, Thank you, sir. All right, appreciate that
doubletle mix. Nine months ago, there was a big study
that came out that debunked everything, but people didn't read it.
They read the initial stuff. Let's go to John in
men Ifee. What's going on, John John? Are you there? John?
John is fast asleep, but he's not snoring. So let's
(22:27):
go to Mike. Who I know. Mike's there? This guy,
he's old school, he's a dolphin fan for like the
last fifty years. Hello Mike, and he's probably devastated because
of what happened to his Miami Dolphins. Yet again, is
they take it on the chin in Germany? What's going on? Mike?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Good event you toad checking out one and all?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't know Cardiff, what is he saying? Kooper? What
did he say? Cool? I couldn't understand Miami Big Dolphins?
Oh chalk Harden Jos Okay, Well he didn't really choke.
The Dolphins never had the lead.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm the best Kate, New York, and I got home
and I watched the point in a four minutes last
Prison game two of more An the check. That was
the game. So, like I said, I've been to the
Dolphins one.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I know I've heard that before.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
They're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, they are going back to America. They probably already
back in America, so they traveled across the ocean there,
so they are back in Florida, I believe.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So good point.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Thank you see that. And they've got the Dolphins have
a bunch of road games, so they are going places.
The Dolphins, they're traveling, they're staying. They're staying at fine
hotels all over the place. The Miami Dolphins, they got
road games. Are going to New Jersey to play the Jets.
So they gotta go to Maryland to play the Redskins
or Commanders, whatever they're called. I got a game at Baltimore.
(24:09):
It won't be called in Baltimore on December thirty first
for the Dolphins, right, No, that.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Game is black punded dmanim and maybe TU get the.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Turkey there you go, just don't choke on a chicken
or turkey bone or whatever. All right, all right, my
get some sleep, man, get some sleep. My guy, Mike,
this guy Dolphin fans is nineteen seventy one. We got
to get him a cough button. So make sure we
hook him up with that. Have to work on that.
(24:41):
So the candid camera this is great. And I mentioned
people get upset about the most ridiculous things. The candid
camera thing NBC showed. If you're watching the Sunday night game,
they showed Damar Hamlin. Now, Damar Hamlin is like the
mascot of Buffalo Bills right now. He doesn't actually play
because he's not very good, so they don't play me.
They played him in one game this year. I think
(25:02):
he's played eighteen snaps, but they can't get rim. I
actually talk to a guy, a guy who works in
the NFL told me that the Dolphin or the Buffalo
Bills rather are afraid of the blowback if they were
to release releaseing. So Tamar Hamlin's like this weird. It's
like the Twilight Zone. He's not good enough to play,
but they can't get rid of him because if they
(25:24):
get rid of him, it ruins the story and they
don't want to ruin the story anyway. On TV, they
were showing him on the sidelines wearing sweats because he's
not playing. He never plays, and he was picking his
teeth and he ate it like the crappy picked out
of his teeth. He was eating it arm on NBC. Now,
I gotta tell you, I'm a toothpicker. I do the
(25:45):
same thing, but I'm not on television when I'm doing
I'm not. I love a good toothpick. I love those
plastic toothpicks like those are the next level. I used
to only be a wooden toothpick guy, and then I
moved on to the more advanced level of the toothpick,
those plastic ones that have the floss on onecket knife toothpick. Yeah,
it's a good I love that toothpick. I'm all about it.
(26:07):
So but I do pick my teeth. I do. But
people were upset. They've like they thought the TV people
did tomorrow hamblin dirty And I'm gonna defend now. It's
not just because I do the TV thing with NBC,
but I'm gonna defend NBC. Here's why. Okay, how did
they know he was gonna pick his teeth at that
time and decide he wanted to munch on what was
between his teeth. They didn't know that. It was just
(26:29):
it was odd timing, and tomorrow Hamlin should know that
he could be on camera. You're you're on the bench
area at an NFL game. I'm gonna throw a sparty.
But his head's down. I don't know if he oh, there,
he popped up. He's like, whack them all right here? Yeah,
I feel like Matt Patricia. I gotta like what I mean.
(26:50):
I ripped Matt Patricia because he ripped a rider for
having bad posture. But I like, look at the top
of your head. It's fascinating. Like most of the time,
it's like the top of your head.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I still got a full head of hair, so happy
to show it off there.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
All right, congratulations, speaking of it doesn't help your work well.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
It is the Ben Maler Show as we roll on
through these old night hours. I did see this over
the weekend, and good talk, right, something will follow here.
The Pittsburgh Steelers played back on Thursday, got a late touchdown,
but George Pickens apparently wasn't real happy. I don't if
you saw this over the weekend. He deleted all Steeler
posts and he wrote free me on social media. He's
(28:21):
apparently being held captive. Mike Tomlin I think has him
in a basement in Pittsburgh, So hopefully somebody in the
Pittsburgh Police Department can track down where he is exactly
in the facility but joined George Pickens. Oh, I love it.
I love the social media meltdown and the Steelers five
(28:41):
and three four come from behind wins. And the real
reason that George Pickens is upset He was targeted five
times in the game against the Titans last Thursday. He
only had two catches for minus one yard. That is
why he wants to be freed out of Pittsburgh. He
(29:02):
wants to go somewhere else. Let's call to the phones.
We'll say hello to Wild Pete, who is in Minnesota. Hello,
Wild Pete, Hey Ben, I just called about our new quarterback.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
That guy, he's as slippery as they come. I watched
him trying to get wrapped up, and the guy just
took off and started running down the field and got
a first down. Then he ran in the end zone.
I think the guy named him Grease Lightning. I think
that's his new name.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
He's a rocket size. You can't call him Grease Lightning.
But hey, it's a nice start, and you got some playmakers.
You're gonna get Jefferson back at some point. And with
Addison and Hawkinson, this guy had nobody around him in Arizona, Hollywood.
Brown's like a third or fourth receiver in Arizona, and
that was the top guy that he had with the Cardinals.
So yeah, things things are definitely looking up. You gotta
(29:57):
believe things are looking up for Joshua Doves.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
A lot of guys rolling off the Vikings on myself
included when they were all in four and now they're
coming back. It seems like everything's clicking together, even with
the backup quarterback or whatever he is. You know, it
might be our new starter.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Well look at this, Look at the this schedule. You
know the schedule. They won four in a row, and
the next three are against a middling Saints team in Minnesota,
at the Broncos, and home versus the Bears. The Vikings
are gonna be favored in every one of those games.
I would think, maybe not the Denver game because it's
a road game, but they'll be favoring in the Saints game.
(30:38):
It'll be a small line in the Denver game, and
they'll be favored against the Bears.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
I think the Vikings are gonna go ten to seven
this year, but there's possibility they might make that eleven
six hanging too bad for a team that started all
and four.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well, more importantly, you know this because you look at
football wild Pete. You look at that NFC Minnesota is
the last team in now, but there are not seven
I started, by the way, they're not seven playoff teams
in the New Orleans Soucks. Seattle with Gino Smith is
a joke. I don't take them seriously. So and really,
there's there's there's not enough. There's a supply shortage. You
(31:15):
got Philly, Detroit, San Francisco, but they've lost three in
a row. I guess you got to include Dallas, but
they're they're a bit of a fraud alls. So anyway, right,
look at that. That was such a hot take. While
Pete you're speechless, I tell you what.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
Philly's always been a Keiley deal. You know in the
last few years. I remember case Kum we lost them.
That was a tough game, a big loss for the
Vikings after a wonderful season. But I don't think they're
quite up to snuff this year.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
You know, we always dream about Super Bowls. It's been
a long time. I don't think it's really gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Oh no, but they make the playoff playoffs, Yeah, I
believe it. They're wild beat. Yeah, that's not good, kid, nuts,
But the NFC is that's pretty wide open playoffs like
Philadelphia's eight and one. They have the top record in
the NFL, and that's great. Jalen Hurt's got a knee
(32:15):
that's a little messed up. So what does that mean
going forward? We'll find out. You're gonna have a bye
week coming up to rest up and try to get
that all healed. And if that doesn't work, you can
hire a witch or a wickan or I don't know. Anyway,

Hello and welcome. It's our numb birththree, our three ready
to go. The Vikings and the Falcons in this game,
no contest unless it was a contest and in Minnesota
came back and won it late. How do you catalog
Josh Dobbs performance for the Vikings? Also, the Rams played
(00:25):
the Packers at lambeau Field, not the frozen tundra, the
cool tundra. What was your reaction to Brett Rippins's lousy
performance for the LA football team? And the Cardinals made
a quarterback change. We'd like to know why after they
were shut out by the Browns. Why would the Cards
go with Clayton toone who clearly was out of tune
(00:46):
for the Arizona football team. We'll talk about that and
more right now here. It is our number three, enjoying
some bird food late, welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malors Show.

Speaker 3 (01:49):

Speaker 1 (01:49):
We bounce around the NFL, we head to the atl
That's our headline to begin this hour. That was the
site of a battle of backup quarterbacks, the Vikings and
Falcons getting together in the Dirty South. Did you watch
this game? Probably not. I had a financial stake in
the game, so I did flip back to this game
(02:10):
quite a bit. The newly acquired josh Dobbs Joshua Dobbs,
he's our quarterback, and he got in the game early.
He threw two touchdown passes, including the go ahead six
yard or to someone named Brandon Powell with just twenty
two seconds on the game clock above the stadium there
(02:30):
in Atlanta, and he also ran for a score and
the Minnesota football team rally to beat the Atlanta football
team thirty one to twenty eight, the final four straight
wins now for the Vikings as Minnesota five and four,
the same record as the Buffalo Bills. They overcame the
loss of their de factos starting quarterback for this week. Anyway,
(02:56):
the plan best laid plans of mice Men and Vikings
was to go with Jaron Hall from BYU, but he
entered the concussion protocol in the first quarter of the game,
so Dobbs, who was listed as the backup he came in,
led the go ahead drive. See the Falcons dropped to
four and five. Atlanta had taken the lead in this
(03:18):
game with two h eight left on the clock. So
let us discuss the question. We'll keep it simple, the
question on this Viking Falcon game, how do you catalog
Josh Dobbs performance for Minnesota. So I've got Russian Blood,
sham Wow, and Beastie Boys, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're going to make a gummy,
(03:42):
gummy situation, because there was a gummy situation for the
Atlanta Falcons in this one. Now, first of all, Josh
Dobbs working his magic. You don't have a great record,
he doesn't have great stats, but considering the level of
team that he has played on, all things considered, he's
slightly above average. And that's a compliment in a league
(04:05):
filled with trash In terms of secondary quarterbacks, Joshua Dopts
did not start this game, as we say, because of
the foolish belief there's no way you can pick up
an NFL offense in a couple of days. It's impossible.
It's outdated thinking, but it continues to bounce around the
(04:28):
echo chamber of the NFL. And he played the role
of MythBuster yet again. This is now the second consecutive
year we have seen a team pick up a quarterback
with little or no practice time, toss them out on
the field and win a game. Baker Mayfield did it.
He didn't play well in that game, but he won
the game. He had the game winning drive for the
(04:49):
Rams after coming over from Carolina last year in a
game on short notice against the Raiders in La and
here this year Joshua in Atlanta and Dang Dong into
the wind column for Dobbs and the Minnesota Vikings says,
he leaped frog up to the top of the depth chart.
(05:09):
Should have been starting this game anyway, and he played
similar to how he did in Arizona. It wasn't perfect,
he wasn't a masterpiece, but it was productive when it
had to be and Dobbs, as broadcasters love to remind us,
as an aerospace engineer, he also must have some Russian
blood in him. You know, in Russia, it's good luck
at the Kremlin if you have bird poop dropped on you.
(05:34):
Now serious, in Russian culture, it's good luck if there's
bird poop that falls on top of you. Pop fest.
So the Falcons dropped some guano on Dobbs, and he
wiped it off and said, okay, I'll win the game.
And he certainly had the mightiest touch at the end
of this one, uncanny ability to get the most out
(05:56):
of a limited, limited skill set. And he's got better
around him, not all of them playing right now. For
the Minnesota football team, the Vikings are a playoff team.
Have you seen the NFC? Have you seen the stank
in the NFC? Right now? There are not seven teams
that deserve to be in the playoffs in the NFC.
They'll get seven teams in because of television purposes, but
(06:19):
there are not seven playoff worthy teams in the National
Football Conference. But they'll get it all right, turning the page,
we heading out to Green Bay, the frozen Tundrad. But
not now, still too early for that Jordan Love looked
halfway decent helped. He was playing an inferior opponent, the
(06:40):
La Rams, who are finally realizing they're not that good.
They're finally realizing they're not that good. It's starting to
settle in Jordan Love two hundred and twenty eight yards
very I think I had a few incompletions. I think
less than five for somebody that I was watching. He
didn't have any incompletions. For the stretch I was tuning in.
He had a touchdown. The Packers Sergic beat the Rams
(07:01):
twenty to three at lambeau Field despite giving the football
away numerous times. It didn't matter. The Packers realized that
they could fumble the ball away and turn it over,
and the La Rams were such incompetent stooges they could
not take advantage of that. But the better story is
on the La side of things. Matthew Stafford was scratched.
(07:22):
He was a late scratch. Though it didn't look like
he was gonna play. Most of the week, the Rams
claimed he might play. They said there was a chance. Well,
he ended up not playing. And then you go out
there and you watch the Rams offense with Brett Rippon.
And I know his uncle won a Super Bowl with
the Washington Redskins back in the day, a long time ago.
(07:45):
And I had made the joke last week I would
rather have his uncle as the quarterback than Brent Rippon,
Mark Rippon, and and boy I was not wrong. That
was a fortuitous joke. Watching this turd play for the Rams,
my god, I literally I watched it. I turned it
off because I knew the Rams had no chance to
(08:05):
win because this guy can't play quarterback in the National
Football League. Brett RiPP I was literally puking in my
mouth watching him play football. Brett Rippan is the sham
wow guy, as in shambollock. That was a total sham.
And I was watching, I was like, shit, this guy's
(08:26):
a sham. Wow, that's what I was saying. Wow. I
was like wow. But he was befuddled by a middling
Packer defense. This is not a great Green Bay Packer defense.
And he's given a pair of studs. How do you
turn studs to duds have Brett Rippon as your quarterback? Like,
the theory was, hey, this guy's in the NFL. Played
(08:47):
with the Broncos' basketball a little bit. But the theory
was all right. You give a middle of the road
quarterback a couple of stud playmakers and they will elevate, right,
elevate the play of the quarterback. We've had this debate
in the past. I remember years ago. Is it the
quarterback that makes the receiver or is it the receiver
that makes the quarterback? Well, in this case the Rams
(09:10):
with two stud playmakers, Cooper Cupp and Puka Nokoua. You
wouldn't know that because old Puke boy over there, Brett
Rippen playing quarterback for the Rams. Cooper Cup and Pooka
Naka were targeted fourteen times against a mid packer defense.
They caught thirty five point seven percent of the passes,
(09:30):
just five of fourteen. There were nine passes that misfired
and five that were completed. Embarrassing and I blame less
Sneed for this. You want to play the blame game.
I blame less Sneed completely botched the quarterback depth chart.
You knew going into this year that Matthew Stafford is
made like ceramic pottery, and pottery is great. This doesn't
(09:56):
last very long, right, He gets damaged rather easily. It cracks.
That's the problem. Fragile would be a word we could
use for Matthew Stafford. So la. They did draft a quarterback,
but the worst possible quarterback you could have drafted Stetson
Bennett from Georgia, who's got some serious off the field
baggage or go. He ain't playing for the Rams right
(10:17):
now because he's got issues. So why would you do that? Right?
You knew whoever the backup was has to play, so
they didn't. They couldn't go with him, and then their
fall back, their fallback option is Brett Ribbon. And I
mean this guy, he's an eight ball, not a magic
eight ball. He's an eight ball in pool, and you're
right behind it when he's your quarterback, and he should
(10:39):
be selling insurance somewhere, not playing in the NFL. And
I'll tell you what, right now he's playing again. I
ain't watching. I'm not the guy saw. I'm not gonna watch.
Why would I waste my time? Most valuable thing we
have in this life is time? Why would I waste
it watching that turd play quarterback for the Arms. I'm
not gonna watch that. Get somebody else. Go to Canada,
(11:01):
get a weirpeg blue bomber, hell, go to Tijuana, go
anywhere get a quarterback. I don't want to watch Brett
ripple another game, but release him. Treat him like a kicker.
Release him. If a kicker missed a bunch of kicks,
you'd release him. The Rams just did that a couple
of weeks ago. Lost the game to Pittsburgh because of
their idiot kicker, so they released the kicker. Well, you
(11:23):
should treat Brett Rippon like a kicker and just get
rid of him and bring somebody else in. And you
know what, treat him like Joshua Dobbs. Don't even have
him practice, and you'll be better off. You'll be better
all right. Finally we head to Cleveland, why cause I
know Dick and Dayton's gonna call next hour and say,
oh wow, Ben, what about that Brown's defense. Oh man,
I'm in and Joe burrow Man congtulations Dick. Dick and
(11:46):
Dayton's gonna love that. So the Browns shut out first
shutout in sixteen years. We are told the brown shut
out the Arizona football team twenty seven and nothing. And
it was about as easy as you could possibly have
it in the NFL. And I flipped over to this
game and I did one of the games we got wrong.
(12:08):
You saw the TV show, you know that I did
take the Cardinals plus the points because I assumed wrongly
that Arizona would not have made a quarterback change if
this guy was not ready to at least compete. And
this guy the gutlass wonder Clayton Tune making his first
NFL start, And so why would the Cardinals questions, why
(12:30):
would the Cardinals decide that Clayton Tone was ready? And
I get the whole trading of Dobbs right, they wanted
to get an extra draft pick, whee, extra draft pick.
But Clayton Tune, that's your guy. I assume you've watched
him play in practice and you thought that guy was
ready to start an NFL game. I'd like to I'd
(12:52):
like to know how you keep your jobs. And then
then it struck me, It absolutely struck me thinking about
Clayton in Tune his debut complete disaster. I had fifty
eight yards passing in the eleven of twenty for fifty
eight yards, had a passer rating of twenty point eight.
We love bringing this up because it's a great fun fact.
(13:13):
The Arizona offense would have had a higher quarterback rating
of every pass Clayton toone. Had just spiked the ball
into the ground, you would have had a passer rating
of thirty nine point whatever it was twenty point eight.
He also had two interceptions and a fumble and a
partridge in a pear tree. He averaged two point eight
yards per attempt, a professional quarterback averaging two point eight
(13:36):
yards per attempt and a cloud of dust. The decision
to start Clayton Tune at quarterback for Arizona it was
a Beastie Boys classic. From the front office sabotage. This
wasn't active sabotage. We talked about tanking, and people point
out that tanking starts with the front office. I am
convinced that the reason the Cardinals made sure to start
(14:01):
Clayton Tune in this game is they wanted to guarantee
the loss and they got what they wanted. Now, whether
or not Jonathan Gannon, the coach, was in cahoots on
this or not, that actually makes him look better. Otherwise
it's just total malpractice across the franchise. But if it's
just the front office, you'd say, Okay, it's the GM
(14:23):
who said we've got to start Clayton too, But prove
me wrong. Tell me that that guy in practice looked
like he knew what he was doing, was ready to
start an NFL game. Seriously, somebody for the Cardinals said
that he's ready to go, and they put him out
there and he pooped his pants right there. Of course
(14:45):
he dropped that too, because why not. Cardinals are one
and eight. They are now in the catbird seat still
after nine weeks of football. The Arizona Cardinals are in
line to draft the crying quarterback. Crying quarterback for USC
who will will he play another college football game. There's
a lot of chatter over the weekend that that is
(15:06):
not going to be the case. That the quarterback at
Hise will throw in the sponge and just start working out,
getting ready for the NFL draft. We will see about that.

I saw Kathy and Madison saying says they were singing
(18:52):
some new record I've ever heard of, the Barney I
Love You song from the ace Man. Keith says they
were singing Oho Texo and f the police song in Germany. Okay.
Matt from Flint, Michigan says, kumbay ya bread man, can't
(19:14):
read that all right? The correct answer to the Mallory
riddle of the day here it is the entire stadium
in Frankfurt, Germany for Dolphins Chiefs was singing John Denver's
take Me Home Country Roads, Take Me Home Country Roads,
(19:35):
that is what they were saying. Very popular John Denver,
huge in Germany, huge in Germany. That's a song. It's
easy to sing along to. The little karaoke and all that.
John Denver's been dead for a generation, but they're still
music lives forever. The gans goes on and on and
(19:55):
on on and on, and let's see page down. Can't
read that, Let's go to the phones. Double All Mexican
is in Sandy Ago. As the weight has been lifted
off Raider Nations back. The Raiders have returned the win
column and looked like a real NFL team. Hello, Double
All Mexican. Everybody love the silver Black.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Imagine that you get rid of all the Patriot honks
and we can actually score more than twenty one point.
Imagine that you still got.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
A bunch of them on your roster though. That's the
only problem, though, players.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Yeah, but they're not the coaches. The coaches are the
real problem.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, Josha, Now Josh McDaniels. This week in Double A Mexican,
he spent all day Saturday counting his money. How much
money he's going to be paid by Mark David who cares?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
He's gone. I keep hearing this, like, oh, the Raiders
are paying eighty five million, Great they they you pay
one hundred and sixty million. It's money well spent every dollar,
bin every dollar.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So you don't mind paying twenty five dollars for a
small back of popcorn. You're good with that.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
No, I don't go to the games.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Okay, Oh yeah, then I wouldn't care either.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
That's fine. Yah.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
There you go, and they gouge and the Raiders. The
Raiders know that people buying the tickets aren't Raider fans,
so they gouge them.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Exactly, there's the most expensive tickets in the league.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Ben there, all right, you should go to a Raider
road game. Pick a Raider road game and go to that.
That's you know, that's where it's app go to the
other home game in LA. Yeah, that's true. And that
and their home field advantage. It hasn't paid off for
them in LA either.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
It's all right, hey, But on the matter rise of thing,
the police investigated them ten months before she filed that
lawsuit and they found nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
And the Bills fired them right after.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
You listen, you're right, But the problem is, and then
people read the initial story, they didn't read the follow up,
and they just go buy the initial story. But that's fine.
I mean, listen, you're on the right. I read it.
I agree with you, double o Mexican. But that's the
problem people, and this is one of the problems people
have with the media. People form opinions and then things
change and they just keep going with the original opinion
because people don't don't like to change their mind. They
(22:01):
think they're right, and they just keep doing the same
thing over and over again.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Yeah, you're right on the mask too.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
By the way, Thank you, sir. All right, appreciate that
doubletle mix. Nine months ago, there was a big study
that came out that debunked everything, but people didn't read it.
They read the initial stuff. Let's go to John in
men Ifee. What's going on, John John? Are you there? John?
John is fast asleep, but he's not snoring. So let's
(22:27):
go to Mike. Who I know. Mike's there? This guy,
he's old school, he's a dolphin fan for like the
last fifty years. Hello Mike, and he's probably devastated because
of what happened to his Miami Dolphins. Yet again, is
they take it on the chin in Germany? What's going on? Mike?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Good event you toad checking out one and all?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't know Cardiff, what is he saying? Kooper? What
did he say? Cool? I couldn't understand Miami Big Dolphins?
Oh chalk Harden Jos Okay, Well he didn't really choke.
The Dolphins never had the lead.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm the best Kate, New York, and I got home
and I watched the point in a four minutes last
Prison game two of more An the check. That was
the game. So, like I said, I've been to the
Dolphins one.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I know I've heard that before.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
They're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, they are going back to America. They probably already
back in America, so they traveled across the ocean there,
so they are back in Florida, I believe.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So good point.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Thank you see that. And they've got the Dolphins have
a bunch of road games, so they are going places.
The Dolphins, they're traveling, they're staying. They're staying at fine
hotels all over the place. The Miami Dolphins, they got
road games. Are going to New Jersey to play the Jets.
So they gotta go to Maryland to play the Redskins
or Commanders, whatever they're called. I got a game at Baltimore.
(24:09):
It won't be called in Baltimore on December thirty first
for the Dolphins, right, No, that.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Game is black punded dmanim and maybe TU get the.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Turkey there you go, just don't choke on a chicken
or turkey bone or whatever. All right, all right, my
get some sleep, man, get some sleep. My guy, Mike,
this guy Dolphin fans is nineteen seventy one. We got
to get him a cough button. So make sure we
hook him up with that. Have to work on that.
(24:41):
So the candid camera this is great. And I mentioned
people get upset about the most ridiculous things. The candid
camera thing NBC showed. If you're watching the Sunday night game,
they showed Damar Hamlin. Now, Damar Hamlin is like the
mascot of Buffalo Bills right now. He doesn't actually play
because he's not very good, so they don't play me.
They played him in one game this year. I think
(25:02):
he's played eighteen snaps, but they can't get rim. I
actually talk to a guy, a guy who works in
the NFL told me that the Dolphin or the Buffalo
Bills rather are afraid of the blowback if they were
to release releaseing. So Tamar Hamlin's like this weird. It's
like the Twilight Zone. He's not good enough to play,
but they can't get rid of him because if they
(25:24):
get rid of him, it ruins the story and they
don't want to ruin the story anyway. On TV, they
were showing him on the sidelines wearing sweats because he's
not playing. He never plays, and he was picking his
teeth and he ate it like the crappy picked out
of his teeth. He was eating it arm on NBC. Now,
I gotta tell you, I'm a toothpicker. I do the
(25:45):
same thing, but I'm not on television when I'm doing
I'm not. I love a good toothpick. I love those
plastic toothpicks like those are the next level. I used
to only be a wooden toothpick guy, and then I
moved on to the more advanced level of the toothpick,
those plastic ones that have the floss on onecket knife toothpick. Yeah,
it's a good I love that toothpick. I'm all about it.
(26:07):
So but I do pick my teeth. I do. But
people were upset. They've like they thought the TV people
did tomorrow hamblin dirty And I'm gonna defend now. It's
not just because I do the TV thing with NBC,
but I'm gonna defend NBC. Here's why. Okay, how did
they know he was gonna pick his teeth at that
time and decide he wanted to munch on what was
between his teeth. They didn't know that. It was just
(26:29):
it was odd timing, and tomorrow Hamlin should know that
he could be on camera. You're you're on the bench
area at an NFL game. I'm gonna throw a sparty.
But his head's down. I don't know if he oh, there,
he popped up. He's like, whack them all right here? Yeah,
I feel like Matt Patricia. I gotta like what I mean.
(26:50):
I ripped Matt Patricia because he ripped a rider for
having bad posture. But I like, look at the top
of your head. It's fascinating. Like most of the time,
it's like the top of your head.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I still got a full head of hair, so happy
to show it off there.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
All right, congratulations, speaking of it doesn't help your work well.

Speaker 8 (27:36):

Speaker 7 (27:48):
Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Carmon and
meet Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts at
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
It is the Ben Maler Show as we roll on
through these old night hours. I did see this over
the weekend, and good talk, right, something will follow here.
The Pittsburgh Steelers played back on Thursday, got a late touchdown,
but George Pickens apparently wasn't real happy. I don't if
you saw this over the weekend. He deleted all Steeler
posts and he wrote free me on social media. He's
(28:21):
apparently being held captive. Mike Tomlin I think has him
in a basement in Pittsburgh, So hopefully somebody in the
Pittsburgh Police Department can track down where he is exactly
in the facility but joined George Pickens. Oh, I love it.
I love the social media meltdown and the Steelers five
(28:41):
and three four come from behind wins. And the real
reason that George Pickens is upset He was targeted five
times in the game against the Titans last Thursday. He
only had two catches for minus one yard. That is
why he wants to be freed out of Pittsburgh. He
(29:02):
wants to go somewhere else. Let's call to the phones.
We'll say hello to Wild Pete, who is in Minnesota. Hello,
Wild Pete, Hey Ben, I just called about our new quarterback.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
That guy, he's as slippery as they come. I watched
him trying to get wrapped up, and the guy just
took off and started running down the field and got
a first down. Then he ran in the end zone.
I think the guy named him Grease Lightning. I think
that's his new name.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
He's a rocket size. You can't call him Grease Lightning.
But hey, it's a nice start, and you got some playmakers.
You're gonna get Jefferson back at some point. And with
Addison and Hawkinson, this guy had nobody around him in Arizona, Hollywood.
Brown's like a third or fourth receiver in Arizona, and
that was the top guy that he had with the Cardinals.
So yeah, things things are definitely looking up. You gotta
(29:57):
believe things are looking up for Joshua Doves.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
A lot of guys rolling off the Vikings on myself
included when they were all in four and now they're
coming back. It seems like everything's clicking together, even with
the backup quarterback or whatever he is. You know, it
might be our new starter.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Well look at this, Look at the this schedule. You
know the schedule. They won four in a row, and
the next three are against a middling Saints team in Minnesota,
at the Broncos, and home versus the Bears. The Vikings
are gonna be favored in every one of those games.
I would think, maybe not the Denver game because it's
a road game, but they'll be favoring in the Saints game.
(30:38):
It'll be a small line in the Denver game, and
they'll be favored against the Bears.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
I think the Vikings are gonna go ten to seven
this year, but there's possibility they might make that eleven
six hanging too bad for a team that started all
and four.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well, more importantly, you know this because you look at
football wild Pete. You look at that NFC Minnesota is
the last team in now, but there are not seven
I started, by the way, they're not seven playoff teams
in the New Orleans Soucks. Seattle with Gino Smith is
a joke. I don't take them seriously. So and really,
there's there's there's not enough. There's a supply shortage. You
(31:15):
got Philly, Detroit, San Francisco, but they've lost three in
a row. I guess you got to include Dallas, but
they're they're a bit of a fraud alls. So anyway, right,
look at that. That was such a hot take. While
Pete you're speechless, I tell you what.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
Philly's always been a Keiley deal. You know in the
last few years. I remember case Kum we lost them.
That was a tough game, a big loss for the
Vikings after a wonderful season. But I don't think they're
quite up to snuff this year.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
You know, we always dream about Super Bowls. It's been
a long time. I don't think it's really gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Oh no, but they make the playoff playoffs, Yeah, I
believe it. They're wild beat. Yeah, that's not good, kid, nuts,
But the NFC is that's pretty wide open playoffs like
Philadelphia's eight and one. They have the top record in
the NFL, and that's great. Jalen Hurt's got a knee
(32:15):
that's a little messed up. So what does that mean
going forward? We'll find out. You're gonna have a bye
week coming up to rest up and try to get
that all healed. And if that doesn't work, you can
hire a witch or a wickan or I don't know. Anyway,
