Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka laka, it's our number three. Well, father knows
best or does he? Can you explain why Bear's wide
receiver Roma Donzay's father would be meddling with his son's
NFL career, saying that he wants his kid traded on
social media. Also, how do you read Brown's coach Kevin

(00:20):
Stefanski giving up his play calling duties and he was
brought in as an offensive guru. Also, Pete Carroll says
the Raiders are focused on winning now, not rebuilding at
the trade deadline, which is today. What do you read
into that one? We'll get to all of that and more.
Dilly dilly, it's our number.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Three on this Tuesday here it is father knows best?
Or does father know best?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Welcome in the beginning of another.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Hour of the Ben Mather Show.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
We are in the air everywhere as we jabber jabber,
jabber jabber, and we know the perfect cheesy flavor Coast Stuttcoast,
Sport of the border.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
And beyond on the mast and outrageously powerful microphones of
fsre amminating live from the scoop as we give you
the one and only big scoop of happiness from the
world famous Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by tree

(01:31):
Yafimi and Phase in the Windy City, and this portion
of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in
part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
ty Raq has been helping customers like J. Scoop find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection

(01:52):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation with inca terror.
Really happy about that, iraq dot com the way tire
buying should be. So our lead this hour is from Chicago.
A developing story today is the trade deadline in the NFL.
The Bears are five and three and they're very much

(02:12):
alive and well in the NFC playoff picture, feeling pretty
good about themselves. After the game on Sunday, dramatic win,
late drive, bunch of blown tackles as the Bears sliced
up the very weak Cincinnati defense.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Terrible.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
However, despite the success, now heading into week ten, we
have internal issues in Chicago. That is music to my ears.
As a talk show host, I love this. So if
you didn't see what happened, perhaps not. There is an
account according to media in Chicago that belongs to the

(02:51):
father of wide receiver rom A Doonsay.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
The wide receiver.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
His father's name James, and there are multiple reports out
of Chicago.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Here in the overnight that James a done Say.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
The father has publicly called for the Chicago Bears to
trade his son, to say bye bye to the kid,
claiming the team isn't using his son enough in the
passing offense there in Chicago with Caleb Williams. So that's
a good jumping off point, the father of a receiver

(03:24):
for the Bears saying that his kids should be traded.
So let us discuss the question. Can you explain why
Bears wide receiver Roma Doonsay his father would be meddling
with his son's NFL career demanding a trade. So I've
got Detalk's fruit basket and social security, and we will

(03:47):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the Babaganooche. We're gonna make the babaganouhe. So,
first of all, this is a d R situation, the
drama oh rama, the drama oh rama.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know I love these stories.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
So Roma Dunsay's daddy is playing the free my son
card from the bottom of the deck. Now, it's not
the first time, it won't be the last time. We've
seen this with other wide receivers, like, for example, a
couple years ago Odell Beckham's father was deputized.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
By Odell to get him out of Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Worked out pretty well and ended up with the Rams
won the Super Bowl and all that stuff. We're seeing
this also to some degree with Marvin Harrison, the old man,
not the kid, who raised a hullabaloo, and then Marvin
Harrison Junior went out and lit up the stat sheet
for the Cardinals against the Cowboys in the game last night.
But the Malo hypothesis on Roma Donsay and his father

(04:47):
going on social media saying they should trade his kid.
So he has been infected Roma Dunzay's father with a
mind virus. Now, what is the mind virus? It is
social media brain rup That's when this guy spends way
too much time. Unplug the Wi fi. You spend too
much time online. Go out, have your feet touch some grass.

(05:08):
It's good. Every once in a while, it's good every
once in a while. I'm telling you, based on what
I saw, I did it minutes long. Mallar investigation looking
at the evidence here, this man, the father of Roma Dunes,
that it appears he has been marinating in the X platform,
on Instagram, on Reddit, on all these social media pick

(05:28):
your poison, whichever one's all the same. It's the digital
bathroom wall. It's the digital bathroom wall. That's what it is.
And he said that it's stats over narrative. One of
the posts was stats over narrative is what he said.
And okay, okay, fine, Unfortunately that's not how this works.

(05:49):
That's not how any of this works, buddy, it's not.
It's it's storylines over stats is what it is. Storylines
over stats has been. In fact, if you start digging around,
even the father's wrong when he says stats over over narrative. Uh,
if you want to help out your son, it's like, hey,

(06:11):
you're knock your parent, your kids out in the NFL.
You want to help him out. If you want to
help your kid out, stay off the apps. Stay off
What are you doing now? As a tar shost I
want you to stay on the apps. If I was
giving you professional advice, not as a fledgling overnight to
shost I would tell you to listen, don't go on there.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
If as a toa sh host, stay on there, say
more dumb stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
It's great. We love the dumb stuff. Dumb du dum,
dumb dumb.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
If you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Swim, we're talking about Roma Dunza's father who's asked for
a trade, says the Bears for trade his kid.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Uh. And if you're gonna swim in.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
The hot Take aquarium, you're gonna go through the hot
Take aquarium with the trolls. You need a detox program,
you need a social media rehab program. There's a place
over in Malibu. And by the way, now the Bears
are winning.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
They're winning. That doesn't happen very often.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
The kids producing at a pretty high level had a
no show performance on Sunday, which triggered this response, and
Pops is still complaining.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
So we went back and.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
We looked at the stats which Romadunza's father was so
concerned about. It turns out, if our math is correct here,
through nine games, Roma Dunza has thirty one receptions for
four hundred and seventy three yards. That's not great. Five touchdowns.
He has been targeted though over twenty five percent of
the routes or roots that he's won, he's run, so

(07:42):
twenty five percent of the time he's targeted. Well, that
doesn't seem that good. Okay, it's the highest on the Bears.
No one else has gotten the ball more often among
the wide receivers than Romadunsea. So he's very, very productive
based on the Bears offense. And he's been targeted fifty
six times and that is tied for the most on

(08:06):
the team in twenty second in the NFL. So those
are all pretty good numbers. Those are all pretty good numbers,
and you cannot make this stuff up. So he's targeted
more than anybody on the Bears. Nobody's targeted more than
him twenty five percent of the time they throw the
ball to him. And the Bears finally get a team
that looks like they're a fringe playoff team at least,

(08:27):
and they can't get out of their own way. I
the parent decides, Hey, I'd hold my beer, I'd like
to get in on this year, and I'd like to
get right in the front of the team bus.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
And That's what I'm gonna do.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Meanwhile, So secondly, we go to Cleveland shake up for
the Brownies, shake up for the Brownies in Cleveland. Has
Sharer Sanders taken over as QB number one?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Has that happened? No? No, it is not. Instead a
coaching shakeup?

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Is it true that Kevin Stefanski, the longtime head coach
of the Cleveland Browns, has been kicked in the balls?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yes, it is true.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Turns out that Kevin Stefanski is no longer calling the place.
He has been demoted, demoted, handing the play sheet to
first year offensive coordinator Tommy Reese. Reese is in his
second season on the Browns coaching staff, but his first
as offensive coordinator. He was the tight ends coach last year,

(09:30):
and he has now been promoted this year to offensive
cordator and now he's going to actually call the place.
So question, how do you read how do you read
Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski giving up his play calling duty?
All right, So this is what's known as the Hail Mary.

(09:51):
This is the Hail Mary. This is the NFL's version
of giving your apprentice, giving your apprentice the wheel while
the car is already fish tailing on black ice. That's
the Browns are driving, and they're on black eyes. They're
fishtailing and Stefanski's like, all right, you take.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Over now, I'm good you drive.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Brown's offense ranks next to last in among key categories
total offense, total offense, twenty eighth in rushing that's not good,
twenty ninth in passing, thirtieth in scoring offense. The Browns
are averaging less than sixteen points per game, also known
as hey, Kevin Stefanski's like, you tried cooking with this crap.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
I can't make anything out of this crap. You go ahead.
So what does this mean?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
This is the last step for Kevin Stefanski is ex communicated,
Bye bye, excommunicated from the brown Town Cathedral, and they'll
send him packing with a nice fruit basket and a
copy of the Cleveland Greatest Missed Opportunities video VHS copy

(10:59):
because they don't have digital VHS copy that is from
a volume volume ten.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I believe it is maybe I think volume ten very nice.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
So Stefanski he was with the Minnesota Vikings, if I'm
not mistaken, he was hired a couple of years back
by Cleveland. He was supposed to be an offensive mastermind.
And how's that working out?

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, yeah, Now he's outsourcing the play calling to a
first year offensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
All right, my own, what could possibly go wrong?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
So Kevin Stefanski might as well contact Express Employment Professionals
and they have so many locations they're sure to get
him a job.

Speaker 7 (11:39):
Put down.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Hey, my name is Kevin. Yeah, it's Express Employment Professionals. Yeah.
How can we help you? Kevin?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
So, I'm a former NFL coach. I used to be
a play caller in the NFL. Okay, good, I'm looking
for a new job. Okay, what kind of job do
you want?

Speaker 6 (11:53):
All right?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
How about like a middle management job.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
I could be like maybe a high school high school
level coach or something like that.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Okay, sure.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
The Browns playbook is a it's got a help wanted
sticker on it.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Help wanted, like desperately need some help? All right? Final
thought to lost wages.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Nevada, we go, we go to Vegas? Where the Raiders
are they going to start unloading players like Jacobe Myers Today?
The trade deadline is four o'clock Eastern time, one o'clock
in the West, and the NFL trade deadline.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Is there, So will we get a big deal? The
Raiders coach Pete.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Carroll made it clear that he is not not interested
in a rebuild, not looking to rebuild, and was thinking
more short term than long term.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
He was asked whether or not he would consider he,
being the coach of the Raiders and the Raiders in general,
making a deal that might might not pay off immediately, however,
would be beneficial in the long run, meaning you trade
a proof player for some scratcher ticket down the line.

(13:05):
Carol said, quote, it never comes to my mind at all.
He said, We're trying to get better right now and
see what we can get done. Carol, of course, of course,
of course, of course, isn't the general manager technically it's
they say it's John Spytech. It's actually Tom Brady who's
the GM by proxy.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
There for the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
And we do know that based on the moves that
Tom Brady has made as the de facto GM, a
lot of them have been done to pacify Pete Carroll.
A lot of the old Seahawks players have been brought
in there to Vegas. So question, Pete Carroll says, the
Raiders are focused on winning now. We're gonna win now,

(13:49):
he says, as they sit here at two and six,
not rebuilding, not rebuilding. So what is your read on
this one with the Raiders? So reading the room, this
is my word is appropriate. This is the appropriate response
I want from my seventy four year old head coach.

(14:10):
You're not doing a five to ten year rebuild, which
is a scam anyway, that's a scam people in sport,
so many people are so stupid, like, oh, rebuild, okay,
so you're gonna put an inferior team on the field,
but you're gonna do it intentionally. Of course, the Raiders,
you could argue, have been rebuilding for twenty years since
they had rich Gannon back in the day. And how's

(14:31):
that worked out? Anyway, you don't hire a coach in
their seventies, like Pete Carroll, who's closer to Social Security.
He's already passed social Security age. He's way past it.
I forget Snapchat. He's like right there, he's almost ten
years into social Security. Actually longer than that if he

(14:53):
took the early option. Anyway, he's coaching for the moment.
I remember the Bills hired years ago in the Dark
Ages in Buffalo. They hired a guy that was in
his mid eighties, I think as early to mid eighties.
As the GM and we thought, well that was great,
because you can't rebuild when you're in your mid eighties.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
You can't do it.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
You just got to go for it. And that's the
way to do it. And as of right now, in
this moment, let's see the Raiders. They are a bad
team who lose to other bad teams. They have a
suck bag quarterback in Geno Smith. Check that box a.
Gino has been the mayor of the nice city known
as suck City. So congratulations, Gino, you're the mayor there

(15:34):
of suck City. You can cut the ribbon population him.
He's the population of suck City right now. Now, the
Raiders have been guilty of crimes against competitiveness. They've been
doing that for many, many years. It has been a parade,
not like the Dodger parade. This parade. It's a parade
of horribles. Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible parade of horribles.

(15:57):
Bad drafts check a lot of bad draft picks. Reshread
quarterbacks check jack Jack Jack Jack Jack. Coaches that look
like they're building a fantasy camp and not a real
modern football team. And Pete Carroll's fingerprints again, He's not
the GM technically as Tom Brady, even though Tom Brady

(16:18):
doesn't want the heat when he makes bad moves like
trading for Geno Smith and all that. Anyway, Pete Carroll's
all over this. They brought in every old, washed up
Seattle Seahawks player. In fact, they're gonna start signing washed
up Seahawk fans like JJ and Renton Crying, Craig and Nostradinas.
They're gonna be signed to contracts by the Raiders so
they can improve the fan base there. And it's like

(16:39):
they're trying to put together the twenty fourteen Seahawks, except
it's twenty twenty five and everyone's kind of moved on
from that.

Speaker 7 (16:47):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (16:48):
The guy talks about seeing what we can get done
right now. That's one of the quotes from Pete Carroll,
seeing what can get done right now? Again, you hire
Pete Carroll, you bring him in, you try to squeeze
one last gasp of juice, and it's now it's a
dried out orange, so there's really no juice there at all.

(17:08):
If the quarterback is the twenty seventh ranked guy in
the league, Gino Smith twenty seventh behind Spencer Rattler who, oh,
by the way, was benched by the New Orleans the Aints,
the team that gave us the paper bags on the head.
The New Orleans Saints bench that guy. So we mentioned
it's dried out orange, it's really orange dust. At this point,

(17:29):
the Raiders are trying to squeeze and it gets something.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Out of it.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Pete Carroll needs to clean out the floaters. The Raiders
have a lot of floaters in that locker room. Guys
that are just drifting along the lazy river of mediocrity.
And they're talented, but they're just not into it. They
want to enjoy Vegas and enjoy the night life and
all that, and they'll show up to work, but they're
not going to go the extra mile. A lot of

(17:53):
business decisions being made, and until the Raiders are able
to get rid of that dead wood and get rid
of the floaters, and the Raiders are on a bridge,
a bridge to nowhere, a bridge to nowhere.

Speaker 2 (18:04):

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay, very cool. What's going on? Welcome to the show.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
Hey Ben, we were talking about rookie Bets. Bring a
happy shortstop.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Remember, yes, I don't think he's a great shortstop. He
batted one thirty eight in the World Series. They won anyway,
in spite of him. That's how good the Dodgers are.
They won despite Mookie Bets.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
No, I said a happy shortstop.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well he's happy, he seemed he seemed angry. Actually he
realized how bad he was playing.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Do you seem to no, no, no, no no. Remember the
gold glove that he wheeled in the unfortunately didn't recognized
for it this year.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
But there's always next ki, Yes, there's always there's always
next year. Yes, I don't know, eight years old. What
do you want me to say?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
He didn't play well in the playoffs? Hes sucked and
they won anyway.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
Well, I mean he had some very important hits, and.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
He had he had one he had won in the
World Series game game six. Game six was one important hit.

Speaker 6 (21:16):
Yes, And and was he good in the field? Uh?

Speaker 8 (21:21):
He was?

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Okay, It's fine. What what do you what do you
want to do? He want me to like you?

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Mad?

Speaker 6 (21:26):
You make me give him a bad players? I mean,
he's the most important position in the field, right.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
But you you think you think moviie bits play well well.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
I think that he was part of a team that
repeated for the first time in twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
I mean, I I just have higher expectation. I mean,
I'm paying guy thirty million dollars a year. I expected
to hit more than one thirty eight in World Series.
I guess I'm the bad guy.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
Well, no, no, remember at the beginning of the year
when he was debilitated, couldn't play and had this.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yes, debilitated. Yes, he was on his deathbed. He literally
almost died.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
In fact, he saw the light and came back across
the pearly gates to save the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
He was literally about to die. They were good.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
There was a priest and a rabbi that was going
to give him, you know, the last rites, and then
for some reason he was able to come back. That's amazing.
I know, you love his He's a modern day Ozzie Smith.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Amazing.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
I believe, very happy, very happy there and very happy today.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
With this four three Okay, good, I mean I hope
he he hugs not Otani because Otani sucked in the
World Series also, but Yamamoto, who was great.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
You know, that's a guy that earned his money.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Well, it was a team, you know.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yes, it was a team, which which by the way,
as you know, George, means certain guys have to pick
up the slack for guys that aren't doing the job
like Mookie Betts wasn't doing the job and other people.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
But he really was doing very, very well in the field.
You might remember at the end of the World series.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Okay, okay, okay, all right again. You seem to be
overlooking a lot, but that's why I listen. You're a fanboy.
I got it, George. You love MOOKI. I'm sure MOOKI
will send you some money in the mail or something
like that, and he'd be very happy that you love him.
I hope his family loves him as much as you
love him. I thank you, all right, thank you. I

(23:28):
know he's your guy. I know, go cuddle with him.
Let's say hello to who do we have? Klondike? What
would you do for a klondike? What's going on? Klondike?
In Des Moines?

Speaker 10 (23:42):
There is wowkay to you.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Welcome in, brother? What's up? Brother?

Speaker 10 (23:52):
You know what. I've been enjoyed this evening. He went
all over the map. I love it. You seem to
not like the La Dodge.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Well, okay, you liked.

Speaker 10 (24:05):
La Dodgers, but not Mookie Betts.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
No, I'm just I'm not.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, I don't, I don't. I don't know Mookie Bets.
I'm sure he's a nice man. I just thought he
played bad baseball this year. And I don't, I don't.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
I don't sell.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I don't celebrate like that guy George has a shrine
to Mookie Bets. I'm not that. I'm not wired that way.
I'm not Mookie betted one thirty eight. He had four
hits in a seven game world series.

Speaker 10 (24:32):
That's it, brother, I'd have to agree, no, brother, and
hey they got theirs. Hey Toronto didn't get no.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
But you know, you know what, you know what Mookie
Bets is.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Mookie Bets is the person in a group project that
doesn't do their work and just kind of, like we

come back and do a little something here at d.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
They've lost both now, they've let Joe Alt's gone for
the year. They've lost both their tacks. I gotta go,
thank you. I got to pay off the riddle of
the day or else I'll get destroyed here. So we
must pay off the Mallard riddle of the day. And

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Charger reporter Beat reporters spotted three shirtless men wrestling on
the field in Nashville after the Charger game.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Oh yeah, was there oil involved?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
H Well, you'd have to examine the video. Are in it,
but it did not appear there was oil. But they
for some reason got on the field and they were wrestling,
and then there was somebody else like kind of observing
the wrestling. So it was very bizarre. Let's go to
Steven Manhattan. Hello, Steve, you are next. It's coming up,
Mallers Mount of Money. If you want to play Malos
Amount of Money, call right now, by the way, eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. But Steve, Oh, KOBIU cannon,

(28:41):
GOBIU cannon Big election Dad, I know Steve's all over that.
Hello Steve, welcome playing.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
My song, Ben distinguished panel expanding audience, Welcome to he Haw.
I just want to let everybody know that, you know,
later today I'm going to be voting and I'm going
to be writing in weed Man's name, So he's going
to get well.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
That is a great use. That is a great use
of the electoral system that we have. I think that's wonderful.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
That's the process that we go through. One man, one vote,
one woman, one vote.

Speaker 6 (29:13):
This show tonight is fantastic. I've been on.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Hold for I think a record break four hours. But
that's all right.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
You've been You've been on a whole four hours. We
haven't even been on the air four hours.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
But I called him before the show started so I could.

Speaker 10 (29:26):
Get an advantage and get in there.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
All right, all right, you want to get on? Had
that work out? You didn't get the advantage, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
But you have others? How many other shows you've been
on while you've been on hold here? Two or three?

Speaker 4 (29:36):
They don't let me. They don't let me on those shows.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Are you serious again? Again?

Speaker 1 (29:41):
This is making us look bad that we put you
on and nobody else will put you on. Your band
from telling you can't call George Nori over at Coast
to Coast and get on that sign. Listen, George will
interview literally uh, he would interview.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Sasquatch then coast to coast and he won't interview you.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
He could also put Sashquash and Bigfoot to sleep in
twenty seconds. Let's let's face it, your show is entertaining
people like it. You're not You're not an ego maniac
in this sense where a callers would intimidate you. The
first rule of talk radio is simple. When the caller
gets more popular than the host, the host will banned

(30:23):
the caller. And that's what happened to me in talk radio,
right you can't have people calling in saying Steve said this,
and Steve said that, you know, click every right off
the air. And that's what happens a lot of times
in talk radio when I've called other shows not this one.

Speaker 10 (30:38):
And you know football the.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Giants, this guy Brian, I call him bonehead Brian and
Seamus the GM. But both of those guys should be
fired immediately.

Speaker 10 (30:49):
They got the.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Whole Mara and Tish families.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
They got a vamboozled and they shouldn't have been brought
back in the first place. They showed who they were
the last couple of years that Brian Dayball did not
coach anybody up.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
The Giants didn't get better.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
And yet they kept him around and he's the worst coach.
Now we have this as one of the questions yesterday
that Brian Daboles the first coach to start three years
in row two and seven since Bruce Coslet of the
Bengals back in the nineties. Bruce Coslets a long time ago.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
He had Bernie. Anyway, Listen, these two guys are clowns too,
because they ran Tommy DeVito out of town. Tommy DeVito,
Let's face it, Russell Wilson has watched off the other clown.
Winston has never washed d Andy. He's good for throwing
a deception, so obviously doing practice, you could give the
linebackers and defensive back the workout. He could throw interceptions

(31:42):
and practice and get those guys. But that was a
stupid thing to do. Darrol horror show. These two guys.
It's a scam. It's one of the biggest scams of
a car. Insurance is a scam. Cable TV the scam.
And Dable being a guy that fixed quarterbacks there paid
shot for quarterbacks is a total scam. He's got the

(32:03):
ownership bamboozled. And let's face it, if he's not fired
and he just drags on, they would a few more games.
They're going to bring this guy back.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
No I don't think they're gonna be. The only way
they were bringing back is if they keep losing.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
But Jackson Dart has like stats that are kind of exciting,
and all they said, well, he's a good coach for
Jackson Dart. They'll make that excuse they got to get
rid of him. Though this is such a mess. He
who cares if Jackson Dart puts up to some numbers?
All right, thank you, Steve, A good Steve Bo there
from Manhattan. Big Balls Bob, I need another contestant for
Mallard's amount of money or we cannot play the game
