in hour number three, give me your reaction to cam
Ward calling the Titans performance ass right now, he said,
the team is ass They got shut out by the
Houston Texas. We'll talk about that. What did you think
of Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz performance against the Steelers in
(00:43):
the early game in Ireland? And does Mike Tomlin deserve
the coward label for his decision to punt where a
first down on fourth down would have closed out the game.
We will discuss that as well. All of it's coming
your way right now here. It is number three. They say,
remember the Titans, but there's not a lot you want
(01:06):
to remember. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of

(02:30):
a game that was a nothing game, twenty six nothing
Houston with the win over the Tennessee Titans. Now, the
game was six nothing at halftime. I believe that was
the score going to the fourth court. It was actually
a close game and then the Texans put a can
of whoopass on the team from Tennessee. Now, to be fair,
the only reason I'm starting with this game is we
(02:52):
have good audio. We have really good audio, really really
great audio, and I love great audio. So frustration is
mounting is boiling up there in Nashville as cam Ward,
the number one overall pick in the twenty twenty five draft,
has made headlines on and off the field. Now he's
(03:13):
not making him any plays on the field though. Anytime
he shows even a pulse, people get all horny. Oh
look at that athletic ability. Oh my gos. It's almost
like he was the number one pick in the draft.
Shocking anyway. So cam Ward continues to be on an escalator,
an escalator going nowhere, just going nowhere. He finished this
game ten of twenty six, passing less than forty percent,
(03:35):
less than forty percent, completing his passes, Holy Danny and
Nashville one hundred and eight yards passing averaged four point
two yards per pass. This is the top pick in
the draft. No touchdowns. Obviously, Tennessee did not score in
an interception. Now would have had a higher passer rating
had he just taken every snap and thrown the ball
(03:57):
into the ground, spiked it into the ground. He would
have had a higher passer rating. That's not the story though,
it's his mouth. So. Speaking to reporters following the twenty
six nothing humiliation the Tennessee Titans losing that game twenty
sixty nothing to do a divisional opponent, Titans quarterback cam
Ward could only say that his team is playing like blank.
(04:19):
Let's go to the audio tape. Take your listen.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I mean, we're keeping a book right now, we asked,
so we're going for it. We have this one. We
got none to lose. We dropped a quart of our
games and we've yet to do anything. So we have
to lock in, especially myself on the offensive line, from
the defensive line, from the special teams to all three faces.
We have to play together. We have not played together
this year yet.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I don't know. That's just that. I just want the
beginning the clip that I said, So the beginning part again,
let's play the beginning part of that. This is the
key part of we call it.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Take you list I mean, we're keeping a book right now,
we asked.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There you keep going with the curse.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
This one.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
We got none to lose. We dropped a quart of
our game. Yeah, we've yet to do anything, So that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
All right. So anyway, that's the money quote there from
cam Ward, the top pick in the draft. So let
us discuss the question. Give me your reaction to cam
Ward calling the Titans performance And this is a news story,
so I can quote this calling the Titans performance ass
right now, So what is your reaction to the Tennessee Titans,
a football team being called ass? So I've got Swampy,
(05:24):
fifty to fifty, Raffle and Twinkie, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make the Baba Ganoosh is what we're going to make
the Baba gano. So, first of all, love the audio,
Love the don't love the player, Love the audio, love
the audio. Good job. I hope cam Ward's good because
(05:46):
his mouth is good. He doesn't appear to know what
he's doing playing quarterback in the NFL. But in terms
of SoundBite quality, good job by cam Ward. Remember in
the exhibition season he said they had top five receivers
in football. All right, So I'm not hearing the coach speak.
I'm not hearing that I'm not here, and we'll watch
the tape. You know, gotta get better not watching, not
(06:07):
hearing that just plain old ass plan, old tushy, that's
what I'm hearing that, which I found refreshing because when
I looked at that game and then I flipped over
in the fourth quarter, I was like, well, yeah, that's
what they are. They stank. They a bunch of I
can't say what I want. Yeah, they're swampy is what
(06:28):
they are, right, they get the swamp ass going there.
The Tennessee Titans. You can smell the Titans from three
zip codes away. In fact, when they travel there's actually
a warning that the local politicians have to give out
there might be a smell. It's just the Tennessee Titans
traveling circus that's coming to down there. Three zip codes over.
(06:48):
You can kind of smell it. Pay out what stinks.
That would be the Tennessee Titans, who right now, there's
a product you can get online called liquid ass that
they should put the Titans logo on that instead of
the actual logo that they haven't. They should put it
out of there, and and the fact that this is
even better, so they demoted Brian Callahan the head coach.
(07:10):
He had been the play caller. They said, well, we're
not really doing well on offense, so we need to
demote Brian Callahan. He's no longer the play caller, and
we'll hand those duties off to some other Jimoke and
that'll fix everything. That'll that'll do really good things for us,
will be really happy. And so they did that, and
how did that work out? The Tennessee Titans, plausibly an
NFL team, not a good one with cam Ward the
(07:32):
top pick in the draft, went out and got ten
first downs, ten one hundred and seventy five total yards
of offense. They had eleven third downs converted two of
the eleven on third down. That's your Tennessee Titans. That's
one count it, one drive longer than seven plays, one
(07:53):
drive longer than seven plays, and zero points. Zilch not
a bupkis none of the above. And they stank so
much that they need to get you know, that really
expensive pine tar. They have this like pine tar soap,
which is industrial strength. If you really have a job
where you do physical labor and you really smell, they
(08:13):
need to get that pine tar industrial strength soap to
get the stank off of them, and they need to
fumigate the entire facility in Nashville where they practice because
this is not just bad to the bone football. Okay,
this is contagious. This is contagion what they're doing right now.
And they should hand out those nose plugs to the
(08:37):
season ticket holders like our buddy Klay Travis, our old
morning guy who's a big muckety muck there in Nashville.
He's got season tickets. Who used to have season tickets?
I do otvi he still does. Give him some nose plug.
Imagine paying money, paying hard earned money to watch that
atrocity of an offense so bad, and it's entertainment. It's
(09:02):
supposed to be the entertainment business. There's nothing entertaining. So
cam Ward calling this team, ass can we play it again?
I want to play play it again? I want to
hear it. Play it again. This is cam Ward. This
is so good. I love this.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean, we're keeping a book right now, we ask
so we own four. We have this one. We got
none to lose. We dropped a court of our game.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah that's right, that's enough, all right, So all in four.
The Tennessee Titans as he said, and they look like
they got shot. Now. I'm not gonna say they're guaranteed
to go on in seventeen, but they have a chance to
lose every game. They have a legitimate chance to lose
every game. They have no receivers, cam Ward doesn't know
he's doing, they have bad coaches. Those are all the
(09:41):
ingredients for a team to lose every single game. And
forget remember the Titans. It's no longer remember the Titans.
It's flushed. The Titans flush them down like the Cleveland Browns.
Get rid of them right now. Secondly, to Ireland, we go,
the land of Guinness and the land of bad football
and all that. So we go to Ireland where Pittsburg
(10:04):
the early game the way to early NFL game. The
Petsburg Ginsers held off Minnesota in the early game. It
was a roller coaster ride. So the question what did
you think of the Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz better story
in the losing locker room, what do you think of
(10:24):
his performance against the Steelers? Carson Wentz his second start.
So Carson Wentz in this game and in most games.
Carson Wentz is the NFL's version of a fifty to
fifty raffle. Now the fifty to fifty raffle. Half the time,
you think you've won with Carson Wentz. You're like, I'm
in pretty good shape. I've got Carson Wentz like, I'm
(10:46):
sure hollering. James was all excited. He played pretty well
early in the game. And then you check the stub
on the fifty to fifty raffle and you realize and said,
wait a minute, here, I'm just holding garbage. This is
just a piece of garbage. That's all I have. And
he put up some numbers in the fourth quarter, he
being Carson Wentz, had one hundred and eighty two passing
(11:07):
yards I believe in the fourth quarter. But by the time,
by the time that he settled into the game, it
was going to take an Act of Congress for the
Vikings to win the game. The Steelers defense, when he
started putting up numbers, Carson Wentz was kind of in
that prevent kind of lase a fair approach defensively, and
(11:30):
in the middle of the game, the middle part of
the game, the second and third quarter, Carson wentz battery
was drained. He had not one but two interceptions. I
don't care if they were tipped or not tipped. They
counted the box scores an interception, and he fumbled. Also,
he did recover the fumble. That's not guaranteed. When you fumble,
(11:51):
it really is like a fifty to fifty raffle. It
depends if you're gonna get the ball, and it's a
loose football. It could be anybody's football at that particular point.
And so a sacked six times Carson Wentz, not one,
not two, not three, not four, o five six times.
That is bumper cars of bad decisions. Bumper cars of
bad decisions for Carson Wentz. Here round and round and
(12:13):
round and round and round and round. Now you can say, oh,
you know, the line didn't block. Blame the fat guys.
Fat shame, Blame the fat guys. Carson Wentz holds the
ball for too long. It's the reason he has been
a rent of quarterback. He fundamentally cannot make quick decisions,
and you end up getting sacked early and often. So
(12:36):
it's not like he didn't do that in Philadelphia and
all the other places he's played since he left the Eagles, Washington, Indianapolis,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So that means, Carson Wentz,
if you do the Mather math. We've talked about this,
a sack. A sack is half a turnover. So using
the Malor math, if you and again if you Wentz
(12:56):
turned the ball over based on that six times six
and that includes the also the the interception, so three
by sack, two picks and a fumble, so that works
out to be. Well, you do the math, and then
that's six six turnovers. That is a Smorgasborg of suck
(13:16):
is what that is. And you can win the euro
game if you play a clean game. You're not gonna
win it. Playing like that, You're not gonna win one
of these euro games. Playing that like that, you're in Ireland.
You're in Ireland. You're serving up turnovers like a shepherd's pie.
Everyone gets a turnover, you get a turnover, you get
a turnover, you get a turnover. So how do you
(13:38):
lose by a field goal? Is playing like that? And
Kevin O'Connell, the Viking coach on the sideline there you're
drawing up plays. I might as well be drawing up
in dirt, trying to scheme up Carson Wentz, right, scheme
him up, Polish a turd scheme up, Carson Wentz. You
only polish him so much. There's only so much polished.
(13:58):
Carson Wentz is who we thought he would be underwhelming?
Is this kind of underwhelming? It plays bad teams and
be okay and be all right. But JJ McCarthy is
I know he's sleeping like a baby. He's not worried
about like, oh, I'm gonna never get my job back
based on that performance. Now I have to worry about
(14:19):
my backup taking my job if anything. Carson Wentz, if anything,
just bought the kid more job. Screed. Even though JJ
McCarthy was terrible when he played. That guy was an abomination.
JJ McCarthy. At the beginning of the year, Carson Wentz
did not just lose the game with as many mistakes
as medley of mistakes. There he reminded everybody why he
(14:40):
has been in the witness protection program, being shipped around
a different locations a cautionary tale. Now, meanwhile, we had
an NFL coach being called out. It happened to be
in this game in London or in Ireland, rather not
in London in Ireland. So I bring this up because
on the other side, might Tomlin was put on blast
(15:02):
for a decision that he made late in this game.
Tomlin upset many. With under ninety seconds over a minute,
a little over a minute to go in the game.
If you were watching, you know the Steelers had the ball,
fourth down, one yard to gain, fourth down, little over
a minute to go, one yard to gain. If they
make the down to get, If they make the first down,
game they would be able to ice the game. Minnesota
(15:25):
would not be able to get the ball back. That
would have ended the game. You hold on to possession
of the ball. Possession is ninth tenths a victory until
time runs out and then it's turned out the last
the parties over ceiling. However, instead of trying to make
the one yard Mike Tomlin decided to punt the football
(15:48):
back and gained I think the number I saw was
fourteen yards total, So it ended up he punted from
the Viking forty five yard line, so he did gained
much of any advantage in that. The decision confused and
upset many, including the Fox commentator Greg Olsen, who was
(16:09):
not happy with that, providing the witty commentary on this
particular game. He said the following During the Fox broadcast quote,
it's a no brainer. You get half a yard. I
guess it was actually NFL network, but you get a
half a yard and the Minnesota Vikings never possessed the
ball ever. Again, Greg Olsen said, so everyone was piling
(16:31):
on Mike Tomlin. Now, Pittsburgh did win the game, but
that did not stop the dogpile on top of Mike
Tomlin calling him a coward and the cowardly decision here.
So the question does Mike Tomlin deserve the coward label
for his decision to punt late fourth quarter and give
(16:53):
the ball back to Minnesota when all they needed was
a field goal to tie the game. So on that one,
I'm gonna defend my guy Tomlin. On this one, I'm
gonna defend Mike Tomlin. There were Aulchurier motives in play here,
and it's just it's lazy to say that Tomlin was
being a coward.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Heer.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You think Mike Tomlin, who's been the head coach in
Pittsburgh for I believe it's five different presidential terms. Now,
some presidents have had two terms in a row, but
five different presidents, he's been the head coach of the
Pittsburgh Cities. You think he panicked and shook in his
boots there, and so oh, I got to punt the
ball away. But I didn't really want to punt the
(17:35):
ball away. No, no, I think not on that one.
In fact, this was a chess move, not a Checkers
move by Mike tom Let me explain he didn't go
for it. Tomlin and Spaccoli can disagree all he wants,
but my theory is the reason Tomlin didn't go for
it was because he knew the moment was not about
(17:55):
that one yard. The moment for the Steelers was about
sending a mess. And we talk about how bad certain
teams are defensively, well, Pittsburgh has been a joke of
a defense, another team whose brand identity has been defense.
And what I saw in this decision was Mike Tomlin
being the teacher who deliberately puts the worst kid in
(18:19):
the class on the spot. The kid that you know
is not paying attention, the kid that's throwing spitballs. You
put them on the spot. Why you got to prove
a point, You got to approve a point. Tomlin punted.
He punted for his defense that it's like, yeah, you
guys stink, You guys are like you, like the Tennessee Titans,
you smell like tushy, you stink, But I still believe
(18:42):
in you. I still believe in you. Not chasing half
a yard to get the first down, he's chasing confidence.
It's a confidence played by Mike Thomas. So you call
him a coward, I say, he's trying to build up
that defense, is what he's doing, and if that defense
can close the door, which turned out they did. Suddenly
it's like oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, Wait a minute,
(19:04):
we know what we're doing here a little bit, and
we're not as soft and gooey as like the Dallas
Cowboys defensively of the Baltimore Ravens defensively, and so Thomas
essentially saying, hey, here you go. I believe in you. Guys.
All you have to do is stop Carson Wentz. That's it.
Let's see if you can keep Carson Wentz from getting
(19:25):
into field goal range. And he'll likely screw up and
throw it to the wrong team anyway, so it's not
so much cowardice by Mike Tomlin. He was baiting a
fish with a twinkie and he was trying to catch
a fish, and he had the twinkie, and that's what
he is. And coaches live in the big picture. Most
coaches do, not all, but most live in the big picture,
(19:46):
and so not the hot take world of social media
and all that. And so Thomas trying to butter the
biscuits of the defense get them going right now. They're
soft as a marshmallow, a war marshmallow, and wanted them
to feel the heat a little bit. Say, hey, listen,
I could go with the offense and try to run
the ball and get a guard, but I want you
defense to win the game. And I'm playing the long
(20:08):
game here. I'm playing the long game, is what I'm
doing here. Tomlins survived what nineteen, He's in year nineteen.
I believe he's in year nineteen as coach of the Steelers.
No losing seasons, a lot of average, not a lot
of great, lot of average, but average gets you in
the playoffs. And he's like a cockerroach Mike Tomlin in
the NFL. It's a nuclear blast over there. And Tomlin
(20:30):
just no, la la la la la la, just coaching
doing his thing. So just comes out chewing a cigar
and got a smile on his face, and there you go.
All right is the Ben Mallard Show. If you would

to the phones and we'll say hello to Let's go
to Frank. Frank is in Denver. What's going on? Frank?
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Welcome, long first time, long time. I just wanted to
call about the Cocaine Quarterback Documentary.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
What a great documentary that was.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
I really enjoyed that documentary. I do Owen Hanson's story
prior to a family member, but also heard your promo
on it on Friday. I don't know if it was
a actual promo, but I'm going to give it some
more plug just because I thought it was an awesome
documentary means yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I've watched that. I've watched. There's three three episodes.
I watched two of them, so I still have another.
I have to get through one more.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Yeah, business night, And to be honest with you, I'll
watched it all the way through the Sunday Night games.
Not that the Sunday Night game was this interesting. Sorry, Lorena,
but I really enjoyed the documentary's first episode that I
just had to watch the other two and then just
go back to the fourth core of the Cowboys game.
But real quick, I wanted to say that the Rockies
(27:31):
I think should follow my campaign advice for hiring a
new manager and go out and get the old skipper
Joe Girardi.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Ever since we got.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
His uh niece, I believe it's ane to take over
as the in game broadcast of this season, the Rockies
were able to turn a turn around what would have
been a historic last season. I big Joe Girardi, Guy.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I really think that.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So you want to you want to punish, you want
to You want to punish Joe Girardi by making him
the Rockies man.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
So I want to punish them once more by not
only being a player but also a manager. Yeah, and
try to write this, you know, sinking ship here in Colorado.
I'm out then, but let me thank you for documentary suggestion.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Oh yeah, no cocaine quarterback. I've enjoyed it. I just
got stuff. Every weekend, I got crap. I gotta do
so I can't sit there and watch it throughout. I
love the fact that the Rockies lost one hundred and
nineteen games and are not eligible for the top pick
in the baseball draft. I think that's just so good.
The Angels aren't either. The Nationals, Rockies and Angels are
(28:37):
not eligible for the draft lottery in Major League Baseball,
so they cannot get the top pick. The highest they
can pick is number ten the Rockies. I think that's
even locked in at that Rockies will be picking tent
the Nationals at eleven. The Angels at number twelve. The
Chicago White Sox are eligible. The White Sox, the Twins,
(29:00):
and the Pirates are the top three in the draft. Lotter.
Let's go back to the phones. We'll say hello to Andrew,
who's in southern California in Bakersfield. Hello Andrew, Hello man.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I have to tell you that was an incredibly optimistic
take for Mike Tomlin. I loved it, so congratulations.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Why are you laughing when you say that it was
not There's nothing to laugh about. He wanted to give
his defense some confidence, and it's false confidence because Carson
Wentz blows. But you send your defense back out there
because you know Carson Wentz is going to win the
game for the Minnesota Vikings because he stinks.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yeah, and I just heard Colin Calhard and I agree that,
you know, the Vikings should not have traded Sam Darnold.
I know it's twenty twenties. I mean, whatever the heck
you say?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
What are you reacting to a promo that you heard
while on hold? Yes, that's an old promo. It's like,
at least for.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Friday, they shouldn't have traded Sam Donald. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I'm not going to die on the Mountain. You shouldn't. Well,
they didn't trade Sam Donald. He left as a free agent. No,
the Seahawks aren't winning anything with Sam Donald, just like
the Vikings weren't winning anything with Sam Donald. And to
be perfectly fair, Cowhard left out that when Sam Donald
had two opportunities late in the season with the Minnesota Vikings,
he conveniently left out the fact that Sam Donald rode
(30:30):
the vomit comment against the Lions in the final regular
season game, and he no showed against the Rams in
the playoff game. Somehow, that did not make it into
that glowing review of Sam Donald. I wonder why, hmm, interesting?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Well have you heard the word hope said the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You know, well, hope next year. I think they'll have
a good team next year. They can win the World
Series next year.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, well I disagree, So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Okay, good luck. If you're watching Tanner Scott puke all
over his pants. Let's go to DJ Mike. Who's next?
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. Hello, DJ Mike, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Good morning, and welcome from a very happy heart of America,
my good friend.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
The Chiefs are back. The Chiefs retire all right before
I get to that take.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Though. The super Bowl is in Levi Stadium in San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Correct, Yes, that is correct. Tickets are not available.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I'm a little disappointed that my favorite band, who is
from that area in San Francisco, Metallica, was not offered
the super Bowl halftime show, because I went in Sawmon
Denver this past summer and there were some ramblings that
Metallica was in talks with the NFL to do the
super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Well, the might have been rumblings, but they were not
realistic rumblings. And those guys are a thousand years old also,
aren't they Come on.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
They're all in their early sixties and they still know
what to do. Brother. I mean, I'm okay with bad money,
don't get me wrong, But I just thought, because.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You really you don't care about it? Are you really
fired up for the halftime show? I'm really not exactly okay.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I wanted I told I wanted to say congratulations to
Carlos Estevez on leading the Major League with saves and
Bobby Witt Junior the second year in a row led
the Major leagues and not only doubles but in hits
and yes, We've only finished eighty two and eighty and
we missed the playoffs. But that's two years in a row.
They're finished over five hundred and if anybody around the
(32:27):
country knows, the Royals have sucked forever. So we're you know,
we're above five hundred. That's a win.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's good to have low standards.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I liked it is I mean, going to the other
side of the parking lot, I'm almost different. Yeah, Chiefs
played good, but I think the national media is going
to say, well, the Chiefs only one because Baltimore was
down seven starters and Lamar left the game in the
third quarter. While that might be true, we were putting
it on I'm pretty good in the first half.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yeah, but you know Baltimore is the worst.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
It was a get right game, right the defensive tea Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
No, they did they if they would have been much
worse obviously if they'd lost the game. And so there
are some up ahead. There's some now, some winnable games
here for the Chiefs where you can fatten up your
wind total.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And here we go. I'm gonna I'm gonna shoot past
Jacksonville and Detroit and the Raiders if we get to
Balti Buffalo. Excuse me, we get to Buffalo and we're
six and two. We got a.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Shot week nine, week nine before the bye weeks in.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Buffalo, right, all right, So that's that's what.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
If DJ Mike says it, it's actually mean you're all knowing,
all encompassibly, all powerful, you know.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
And my son, you know, we talked about it last
week about him. O.
