Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shack a laca. It's our number three. Our number
three is ready to go, and we talk about all
the big stories in the NFL world this hour, including
Arrowhead Stadium, a domination situation. Give me your reaction to
Andy Reid actually feeling sorry for the beatdown his chiefs
(00:23):
laid on Pete Carroll's Raiders. I'm not making that up.
Andy Reid felt sorry for Pete Carroll. Also, coach Liam
Kohne blamed himself for the Jaguars going across the Atlantic
Ocean to get Paddy whacked by the Rams in London.
Your thoughts on that, and the NFL has now increased
the number of commercials on the Red Zone channel. Shocker
(00:46):
of shockers helped me understand this. We'll talk about all
of that and more right now here. It is our
number three. Tom Brady's biggest loss as a player was
twenty seven points against Kansas City. The Raiders have already
trump that as Tom Brady is the owner. How's that
(01:09):
working out? Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere,
brothers in sports talk as we buy more, but we
spend less coast to coast border to Motor and beyond
(01:30):

emmating live from the telegraph as we telegraph all of
our verbal punches from the world famous Fox Sports Radio
studios as approved by JD in Boston. JD gives the
thumbs up, so does the Freeman and JJ from Rent
(01:55):
and they all give the thumbs up on that. This

(02:38):
hour from the NFL, we continue to go round and
round and round and round and round and round and
round in our stop Kansas City Historic Arrowhead Stadium. I
was lucky enough about a year ago, coming up here
in early November. I was lucky enough to go to Arrowhead.
Had a great time, wonderful experience. I had a much
better experience than the had as Patty Mahomes making keg,
(03:03):
drinking Steve's smile ear to ear. Mahomes had not one,
not two, but three touchdown passes and two hundred and
eighty six yards passing, and the Chiefs they essentially evaporated
the once proud Raider franchise. The Raiders evaporated in front
of their eyes. Thirty one nothing. Now I mentioned that
Tom Brady's worst loss as a player was twenty seven
(03:25):
points at Arrowhead. Thirty one nothing, though, thirty one nothing
in this game. How bad was it? Well, if you
didn't see this or hear about it, it was so
bad that Kansas City head coach Andy Reid expressed sympathy
sympathy for Raiders coach Pete Carroll after that absolute curb
(03:48):
stopping a game that was not a game. It wasn't
just a mismatch, it was more than that, and so
Andy Reid issuing his condolences, if you Williams say condolences, buddy, Yeah,
said he felt felt bad for Pete care with all
the players out that the Raiders were supposed to have
that we're not playing in this game. So that is
(04:09):
a good jumping off point. Let's discuss the question, all right,
give me your reaction to Andy Reid feeling sorry for
Pete Carroll's Raiders. So on this one, I've got Duffel,
bag fish and chips and cannon balling, and we'll combine
(04:30):
all of these things together and we're gonna make the gobbagool.
We're gonna make the gobbagool, all right. So, first of all,
this is hideous on every level, not from Andy Reid's perspective,
from the Raiders perspective. Right, Like when Andy Reid a
division rival, I know that it's it's all everyone's in
(04:51):
bed with everyone in the NFL. It's a cartel. And
it's like owning a pizza hut, you know, or McDonald's
or a Starbucks. You're all in the same business together,
get it. I understand that. Being said, it is rather
shocking to hear Andy Reid, a proud man, a Hall
of Fame coach, Andy Reid against another Hall of Fame coach,
a divisional opponent, and someone who has spent almost his
(05:15):
entire career Andy Reid, turning the Raiders into pinatas whether
he was with the Eagles and been in Kansas City
royal and for him to come out and say he
feels bad for Pete Carroll, that's not sportsmanship. That is
a pineapple. It is a pity pineapple. Here you go, Pete,
here have some pineapple. It's a penny pineapple. Enjoy the pineapple.
(05:35):
That is the NFL equivalent of handing out a little ribbon.
You know you didn't win the game, he got shut out,
but you know you have you had a beaten and
broken roster. This is not the y MCA. It's not
and not everyone's getting the orange license and all that.
It's unncessary. The professional football the Chiefs, you wouldn't know
it was professional football from this outcome. The Chiefs didn't
(05:58):
just take down the race a couple of notches. They
murdered them. Four hundred and thirty four yards of offense.
Four hundred and thirty four yards of offense for Kansas City.
The Raiders had ninety five and they got about forty
of those in garbage time late in the game. Thirty
first downs for Kansas City three. Let me repeat that
(06:21):
for those of you in the back round. Thirty first
downs for the Chiefs, freight for the Raiders. Gino Smith
sixty seven yards passing. They will teach classes in university
down the line. How Gino Smith was able to pull
off this scam to get the Raiders to aid trade
(06:42):
for him and then pay him the amount of money
they're paying him. One of the great hustles of our time.
And that was Tom Brady that signed off on that.
By the way, don't forget that that's Tom Brady. It
was this Raider performance. It was so bad I can
turning back to well, why would you turn back to it?
I don't understand the Raiders. Gino Smith sixty seven yards passing,
(07:07):
and it was a duffel bag of d WBH. Now
what does that mean? Don't want to be here? The
duffel bag was don't want to be here. They felt
sorry for themselves. Here's Geno Smith pointing out that he
says the right thing, he just doesn't do the right
things on the field. He's talking about all the players
being out for the Raiders. Take a Listen, when.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I'm out there, I'm not thinking about those guys not
being out there. I'm thinking about the guys that the
eleven guys that we have on the field, and how
do we execute together to get it done? And again,
we're not getting it done right now at any phase.
And whenever something looks wrong, I tell you, guys all
the time, put it on me, because it's not about the.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Guys who are out there. It's about the guys who are.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I'm out there and I got to make the
players and I got to get it done.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You are getting done when the direct deposit hits your
bank account, you're getting it done there. Wow. Us. We
have seen exhibition football games in recent years, exhibition football
games where the teams looked more engaged. There was such
appe around the Raiders. It is fascinating. The Raiders look
like they were in a company retreat and they were
(08:07):
just going to Kansas City Tod barbecue and they were
just trying to get through the PowerPoint and try to
get over with nobody ask any questions. That's it. And
Pete Carroll again hall of Fame coach, allegedly all that stuff.
Where was the scheming like where's the pride? There was
no pride. No, you can't roll over like that. You
(08:28):
should never play like that, certainly not in a divisional
game against a supposed rival. And it's so bad the
other team apologizes. That's the Raiders, really Okay, that's where
the Raiders are right now. They continue to once proud
franchise the Raiders, who are now punchline. Their home games
are filled with fans of the other team because it
(08:50):
takes so expensive, because it's Vegas, and it's gotten so
bad that the executioner, Andy Reid is now handing out
a warm blanket. Here you go, have have a nice
blanket after the damage is done. Enjoy. And he wasn't trolling.
I don't think Andy Reid was trolling. He wasn't smirking.
He seemed dead serious. He feels bad for Pete Carroll.
(09:13):
He feels bad because all these guys are out and
they're fans calling for Pete Carroll to be fired. And
then you're ranting and raving as always, and there are
plenty of coaches that deserve to be fired. Brian Dayball
right at the top, Mike McDaniel in Miami, right there, Boom,
Carol the way, if you just judge him off this
performance and not the body of his work just this
(09:34):
year as a Raider, it's hard to make a compelling
argument that Pete Koch should remain the coach of the
Raiders and the cherry. On top of how bad things
are for the Raiders, is Andy Reid having a party,
a pity party. They go to Chuck e Cheese. You
have some pizza and I have some drinks, and play
some video games, play some ski ball, and there you go.
(09:55):
How low can you go? How low can you go?
All right? Now? Secondly to London we go the NFL
continuing these fugazi international games that nobody asked for, and
pu Gonna Court did not play. He could not ram
it all day, he could not ram it all night.
No problem, no Puoka, no problem. The shorthanded Rams feasting
(10:18):
on a nice dinner of Jaguar. They enjoyed it. Matthew
Stafford had not one, not two, not three, not four
five touchdown passes. I'm amazed that Stafford has played as
well as he had, considering the fact that we were
all told his aching back was not going to allow
him to play during the seasons. Well so far, he's
made it through almost half the year, and he seems fine.
In fact, he seems better than fine. The Rams get
(10:41):
a thirty five to seven thirty five to seven beatdown
of Jacksonville. The better stories on the losers side. Now,
Liam Kohne, the head coach in Jacksonville, who's a disciple
of Sean McVay, he had a lot to say postgame.
Let's go to the audio tape take of this.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It's definitely frustrating. But you're just like everybody else in there.
In there, you know, you got to look inward first,
like what am I doing as the head football coach?
That's not clear right now? How am I communicating these things?
How am I and how are we practicing these things?
That's what I've got to look at, right, I mean,
(11:22):
I've got to look at the whole thing ultimately. But
not going to stand up here and blame these players.
It starts with me because.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You're not allowed to blame the players because there'll be
a revolt because the player is a bunch of pussy willows.
All right, So let us discuss the question coach Liam
Cohne blaming himself again. Right, you can't blame the players
blame yourself for the Jaguars getting absolutely patty whacked by
the Rams in an island game in London. Your thoughts
(11:50):
all right? So my thought I have two words, good luck,
good luck and anyone watching those. And I was half
half away calf asleep the whole thing. I was kind
of like a dolphin. Half my brain was asleep, half
my brain was awake watching this. But I was amazed
because Handy Kamaniams I went back and forth in this game.
I thought, well, the Rams without Pulka poka nakua, assuming
(12:12):
you get an honest effort by Jacksonville, they should be right.
There should be a field goal game at the end,
should have a chance to win it. And they were
non competitive. That is the theme of the day in
the NFL. Non competitive football. The Raiders, the Dolphins, and
the Jaguars. Holy Canoli terrible. This was a visceration situation,
(12:32):
is what It was, a full blown transatlantic pantsing of
the Jaguars. They got their doors blown off. I don't
know how many other ways I can say the same
damn thing, but you get the point. And then Colin
son about looking inward, which is like looking at the
mirror or something like that, which is, you know, spare
me right, spare me on that. You want to look inward,
how about we start with the thirteen penalties for one
(12:55):
hundred and nineteen yards thirteen the Rams got one hundred
nineteen yards of gift yardage. And if you want to
look inward on that, okay, all right, knock yourself out.
That was bad football. Capital be bad football coming apart.
If this seems undisciplined, I'm talking about culture and communication.
The Rams are better and all this stuff. How about
(13:18):
some accountability for the for the Jacksonville football team. My god,
if your guys can't line up straight without holding or
jumping off sides of where the Jags handed the Rams
not one, not two and three and o four and o' five,
not six, not seven eight first downs via penalty? You
know that the Rams got eight first downs via penalty.
They basically gift wrapped. Give wrap the game and say, hey,
(13:40):
Matthew Stafford, I know you're you're over only over here
for a couple of days. Enjoy some fish and chips,
and here's a win on us. Enjoy the rest of
your trip in London. It's like they were playing red Light,
Green Light, and the Jags kept getting shot in the
first five seconds and it was just undisciplined slop. And
I go back to what I said about the Raiders
(14:01):
and these other teams. It's like, it's not Week one
or two or three, it's it's the middle of season,
and this is what you got. Are these the dog
days of the NFL and baseball? They say after the
All Star break, those are the dog days where it's
very tough to play after the All Star Game and
late July, early August and all that stuff. Well, all right,
well it's not just this week. It appears the high
(14:23):
water mark for the Jacksonville football team was that miracle win,
the stunner of stunners, when they took down Cansas City
back on Monday Night football. And it has been a
slow motion eighteen car pile up on the side of
the road since that. Point ten penalties against Seattle last
(14:45):
week thirteen in London. So my computer like brain tells
me that's twenty three penalties for one hundred and ninety
five yards gifted. Here you go, take the here we go.
Just have those yards. That's not random. It's not random.
That is a team unraveling before your ears and your
(15:05):
eyes and all that stuff. That is a tinderbox. Even
Stevie Meatballs can see how messed up. This is Trevor Lawrence.
That moment when he tripped member was trying to scramble,
and then the Chiefs defense decided to take the playoff
and not hustle, and they allowed him to get up.
He fell down twice and scored the game winning touchdown.
That was the Disney moment, right, we were all that
(15:26):
was supposed to be the Disney moment for Jacksonville. Here
we go. Well, it turned out that instead of Disney,
they went Y League coyote and running right off the cliff.
Ever since that game and still pumping their legs like
idiots as they're falling down jumping off the cliff there. Wow,
the Rams were in total cruise control, no puka, no problem.
(15:48):
As we said, it looked like a walk through. It
looked like a walk through, and the Jags played like
they had just rolled out of some pub in London
and they were enjoying some pints of beer. And man,
that's the part that should terrify, terrify the Jacks because
(16:09):
this is the real Jacksonville Jaguars, right, this is the
team that we have seen over the years. They played
better than expectations, won a couple of games against Kansas City,
against the played well against the Niners as well. You're like, okay,
there's something going on here. And now a couple of
weeks in a row against the NFC West, all of
(16:30):
a sudden, not so much. All right, it is the
the Ben Malachio. Meanwhile, final fight. We go to TV
land quick right, all right, quickly, we go to TV
Land where you knew this was coming. In the NFL, Remember,
they decided to add commercials to the Red Zone channel,
and then the first weekend they basically mocked everyone that
(16:51):
criticized them adding commercials because they said, well, listen, there
weren't that many commercials. And it's like, okay, fine, all right,
but the NFL had been marketing seven hours of commercial
free football for years. But the spin from the NFL was, well,
there was like these commercials, no big deals, like just
four fifteen second spots, just a couple of ads during
(17:15):
the broadcast. It's a seven hour show. Come on, yeah,
you guys are going to the bathroom taking a whiz
more than we're playing commercials. Fine, well that didn't last long.
And many more commercials. This week, we are told on
the Red Zone channel with scon Hanson, gotta pay a salary.
Many more commercials. So the question is this, the NFL
(17:36):
has now dramatically increased the number of commercials from zero
to a bunch on the Red Zone channel. Help me
understand this, okay, So this one's not that hard. You
don't need the mall Rosetta stone to figure this out.
The frog is simmering. That's it. That's why the frog was.
(17:59):
I mean, span on it. Oh yea, I'll span on it.
So the NFL, what they're doing here is they're squeezing
more revenue. Right, commercials are here, let's add some more
commercial They're multiplying like gremlins. And they're not just dipping
their toes in the water anymore. No, no, no, they
are cannon ball cannon balling. They're cannon balling into the
(18:20):
Red Zone your commercials. And first it was four fifteen
second spots, barely noticeable, barely noticeable, and it's like a
pickpocket telling you, listen, I didn't take your wallet. I
just took some loose change in your in your in
your wallet, in your in your pocket. I did not
take the wallet. I left the wallet. I just took
(18:44):
the loose change, just some pennies and some quarters and
some dimes and that's it. So now now the NFL
is like, Okay, well now we're going for it, and
it's it's going to keep going higher and higher and higher.
The commercial free prompt to the NFL looks an awful
lot like now it's starting to look like everything else,
(19:05):
everything else that they've been running this scam in the
NFL forever because dumb people don't push back. Dumb people
just accept it. What are you gonna do? And it's
the froggy, it's the froggy. The pot is a boiling
The pot is a boiling the old boiling frog routine
where the NFL you don't throw the frog in the
(19:26):
pot of boiling water right, you jump out, but you
turn it up a little bit. The frog the water
slowly gets turned up and you just kind of the
frog swims around and then eventually you've got frog legs
because the frog's dead from lukewarm water to boiling hot
water before you know it. And the NFL has been
pulling this for years, for years. I remember when PSLs
(19:50):
became a thing, one of the great scams of all time.
You have to pay money for the right to pay
more money for tickets, and they got away with it.
In most NFL cities there's PSLs. Flexible scheduling is another one.
A lot of people playing their entire lives. I know
are Nesto for example, in the Bay Area. A bunch
of you guys travel to these games in the NFL,
(20:12):
Like I know, you bought your playing tickets, you got
your hotel, you got everything ready to go, your Airbnb
whatever it is. And then you know, ten days or
two weeks whatever before the game, we're gonna we're gonna
move the game time. Well, I got a flight. I
have to catch a fight, my fight. It doesn't work,
It doesn't matter because we're the NFL. Thursday night games
make players a knee buckle. They can plain about that.
You know, all this stuff now the sanctity of the
(20:35):
red roant as we correctly that's a hot take validation.
We correctly got it right. Hot take validation. This is
not about what's good for the customer. It's not about
what's good for the fan. It's about how much more
you can squeeze out of advertisers and the product. They're
already making billions. They gotta make more every fifteen second
at another brick in the wall between the NFL and
(20:59):
what made the the NFL red zone attractive? Commercial free.
When you think commercial free, you think fifteen second commercial.
Your fifteen second commercial. There all that so again in
this little exercise, you're the frog ribt rivit rivet you're
the frog. And then the pot's getting hotter. So I
hope you enjoy that. It is the Bend Maler shows.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
All right, back to it we go, Time to pay
off the Mallor Riddle of the day. Titans quarterback cam
Ward was attacked online for his blank after the latest
loss to the team from New England. As the Patriots
winning again in New England. Now look at their record,
(23:53):
shiny sexy record four wins in a row. They're five
and two. But the story here's about cam Ward. That
is the Mallar riddle of the day. Again, Titans quarterback
cam Ward was attacked online for his blank. Award went
out there and had, by his standards, not a bad game,
but not a good game either. All right, let's go
(24:13):
to the phones. Actually, let's go to the Twitter machine.
Seef anyody knows the answer, and let's see page don
He was mocked for disco dancing on the sidelines that
guests by our friend Bobby in Florida. Who else do
we have? Page Dan Ward was criticized for his attire
he wears to games all right, accused of giving toothbrushes
(24:35):
instead of candy for Halloween for his love of Neapolitan
ice cream. Guess by Alf the Alien Opiner his kool
Aid Halloween costume from Donkey Sausage. Yes that's a little bit, Yeah,
a little much, Ferd Dog says for tucking his shirt
into his underwear. Interesting not flushing guess by Asher Femi
(24:59):
in Minnesota says he was mocked online for his girlfriend.
King Roy says his breakfast a very interesting choice of
breakfast there, King Roy in Wisconsin's an authentic Wisconsin breakfast?
What else? A j Dot in Utah? I thought you
were working the day shift? J dot, what are you doing?
What do you Jay? You should go to bed. You
shouldn't be awake, j Dot, you're working the day shift,
(25:19):
he says. Cam Ward was accused of water instead of gatorade. Okay,
using water instead of gatorade. His Partridge Family lunchbox Old
School by Doc Dan Chris and Kent Washington says we're
leaving a baby Ruth in the hotel swimming pool. She
never do that, Fudgie says. Hygiene a schedule bad hygiene
(25:42):
schedule from Fudgie in Boston. Fudgie used to call the
incidant advice. I'm not call anymore on that one. What
else do we have? See page down? Can't read that one.
I saw a monkey, but biz Doug checked in. Tom
from Kansas City says attacked for the la la boo
boo collection from Tom in Kansas City, jt the wingman
(26:03):
for using a squatty potty. That that is the answer.
What else you have? Page down? All that's enough, Loraina.
Do you have an answer to the malorriddle of the day. Yeah,
I'm just gonna have to assume he's been mocked for
his horrible beginning rookie season. All right, horrible rookie season
is incorrect. Cam Ward has been mocked for his small hands,
(26:24):
tiny hands, tiny hands, t recks. Yeah, well that's sart.
Well it's a quarterback there, and yeah, Arizona. But anyway,
New England winning Mike Frable Revenge game and cam Ward
everyone talking about his small hands. His hands measured at
nine inches. That is the eighth percent dile eight percent
(26:47):
dial And does it matter? It depends if you play poorly.
It matters if you don't play poorly, it doesn't matter.
Cam Ward though, had thirty four fumbles in the four
seasons of college football, and that being brought up as
you look at the results of this season, cam having
some issues holding on too said football, and so people
(27:10):
are like, what's going on. He did lose a fumble
in this game and has had some issues along the way.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
The other quarterback recently that had tiny hands, that was
a big story.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Kenny Pickett had really small He sucks. Where do we
measure from? What do we measure from? Like the base
of the palm to the tip of the well you
want us to I'm just curious.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You you'd have to answer that better than me. I
don't know what. I don't know what the measurement would be.
I have no idea. I've never measured hand. I don't know.
I'm just I'm just curious. I'm sure you are. Yeah,
you measure from the top side or the bottom? Do
you think the top of the middle finger down? I
don't know. I don't know. I would.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I think it's definitely from the I think you're right, Ben,
I think it's top to bottom.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
But to hold the football, think about it, I get
top to bottom, because if you hold the football you
sideways thumbed to your small finger, it doesn't really matter
right as much you're holding it with your thumb underneath
and then your top finger like a claw claw machine
like that. You know. No, Oh, no, I just I
just I just looked it up. I got the football
(28:15):
right here. So you hold it like this, it is.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
They use a tape measure to find the distance from
the tip of the pinky finger to the tip of
the thumb with the hand fully outstretched.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay, so so you have to be fully uh yeah,
I got you, all right, very alright. You said it.
I didn't say. Let's go to the phones. Let's go
to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hellou James, Hey James,
(28:46):
how big are your hands? James? Yeah? Is that right? Okay,
all right, I got you. All right, Let's go to
I was gonna go to Nick and Berkeley. He hung up.
Let's go to Dick in Dayton. You got the Dixure.
Hell out, Dicky.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Good morning, Ben and crew. How are you?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
The Browns are back? Maybe the Browns are.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Back, I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You and the BEng What a great weekend for Dick
and Dayton. My god, this is your dream come true.
They both won. Give me a little taste of that Dick. Amazing.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Oh, it was amazing. I really thought the Browns were
I don't know. They had to talk, but somebody gave them.
They looked pretty good, didn't they. I thought they'd looked good.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, well, it's winning game thirty one to six, How
are you gonna look bad? Yeah, they didn't. They didn't
actually have a ton of offense. It was bad as
you saw the game I saw he heard on the radio.
Was bad weather, right, it was rainy the first half
and winny and all that stuff. But put up thirty
one points and I think they only had like two
hundred yards of offense, but didn't matter.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Yeah. And it was a shock about the Bengals, you know,
they Paco would look so darn good, and the Bengals
and then Ohio State don't think it's going to lose
a game.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But you know how.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Upsetting was it as a Cleveland Brown You like both
Ohio teams. You're mister Ohio, You're the Chamber of Commerce
of the sovereign State of Ohio. But does it bother
you that the Browns traded Joe Flacco, and he looked
like the greatest quarterback in the NFL this weekend. No,
it does not bother. Okay, you're okay with it because
you like Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Oh, yes, you do really good.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
And you know another thing, the Lions were so busy,
as you probably know. I didn't get on last night
to Titus and Titus and Jeff. It was about twenty
six and I was They were talking about you know,
southern Ohio and Titus and Jeff said, I think Dick
(30:46):
knows people all around. He said, he gets around and
very positive on his teams. And you know, it was
pretty good. I enjoyed it. I hear it.

So all right, we'll have a great day. Thank you, Dick,
Bye bye. There he goes Dick and Dayton. Remember he

a bold statement, and that guy knows what he's doing.
Let's say, let's say hello to we do have the
(31:41):
incident of ice line coming up. Let's go to three Chains.
It says here. I think it says that, hello, three change,
what's going on? Three chains? Welcome? Better than two? Yes,
three changes?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Is proud and happy to be on the show. Good morning,
good afternoon, good evening, good night. Depend upon whether you're
listening to Three Changs Live or three A's out in
the man. But listen, I have to correct earlier in
the show, and I'm sorry. I'm not good with names.
I listened to you. I'm traveling across the US right now.
But uh, And it refers to the giant signing the
(32:13):
college baseball coach. Not the first time, till.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
All your phone's breaking up here? Hold, who's that who
they named the guy.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Who Bobby Winkles I.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Have no idea who know, But I don't know who
that is. I have no I don't know the Brewers
manager was he was a coach at Notre Dame or yeah,
he was a college coach at Notre Dame, but he
worked in baseball before he became a big wing manager.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Three chains, listen, I wanted to talk about the New
York Giants situation.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, what about I.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Don't think for my time in the Western Pro Hockey League,
this would be one of those occasions like giving up
fifteen goals and not getting any having any penalty minutes.
So I see you like it. The coach cannot be
allowed to enter's office on Monday. The kicker needs a home,
and I'm trying to find John Gruden's phone number because
(33:11):
I think that would be an excellent choice.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
It could say.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
The NFL about twenty million dollars that the Supreme Court's
about to award him. And also my final thing is
that you got a bunch of D one glazers. As
far as callers, I'm going to be a permanent collar
to the show. I'm polarizing, but I'm articulate and unlike
(33:37):
a lot of your callers.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
That's that Yeah, I, oh, hey, you call your shot.
You're saying you're you're announcing, you're like a dog marking
your territory. You're saying, I'm here to take over. You're saying,
I am driving this truck every night, and I plan
on being decorated by the malor militia. And you will hear,
you will know my name. Is what you're saying is
that correctory change.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Change state?
Speaker 8 (34:02):
And I didn't come to protict state three change came
to dominate and uh listen, none of your callers can
be confused to put people up for road scholarship.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Oh look at you, How doubt dare you? How dare you?
Many of these people have paved roads. I don't know
what you're talking about. I gotta go, Thank you are
there's a three change ripping my opinion? That backhanded compliment.

(36:13):
from the world of sports. It could be a prominent coach,
It could be a team, could be a medium member
that needs advice. This week, though we have three options.
We could do the Dolphins lost to the Browns thirty
one to six. We do the Raiders shut out thirty
one to nothing by Kansas City. But it's rather obvious
the New York Giants, who thought they were good, they
(36:34):
thought they were good, blew a nineteen nothing lead in
the fourth quarter, got absolutely mollywopped by the Broncos. Had
no answer. So advice to Brian Dayball and the Giants
blowing in nineteen point lead and really the game was

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Okay, there you go. Ferg Dog very worried. Shocking that
Ferg Dog's worried about the girth. I'm surprised by that.
Boom, shack a laca. It's our number three. Our number
three is ready to go, and we talk about all
the big stories in the NFL world this hour, including
Arrowhead Stadium, a domination situation. Give me your reaction to
Andy Reid actually feeling sorry for the beatdown his chiefs
(00:23):
laid on Pete Carroll's Raiders. I'm not making that up.
Andy Reid felt sorry for Pete Carroll. Also, coach Liam
Kohne blamed himself for the Jaguars going across the Atlantic
Ocean to get Paddy whacked by the Rams in London.
Your thoughts on that, and the NFL has now increased
the number of commercials on the Red Zone channel. Shocker
(00:46):
of shockers helped me understand this. We'll talk about all
of that and more right now here. It is our
number three. Tom Brady's biggest loss as a player was
twenty seven points against Kansas City. The Raiders have already
trump that as Tom Brady is the owner. How's that
(01:09):
working out? Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere,
brothers in sports talk as we buy more, but we
spend less coast to coast border to Motor and beyond
(01:30):
on the mast and nutritiously powerful microphones of fs are
emmating live from the telegraph as we telegraph all of
our verbal punches from the world famous Fox Sports Radio
studios as approved by JD in Boston. JD gives the
thumbs up, so does the Freeman and JJ from Rent
(01:55):
and they all give the thumbs up on that. This

That's www dot expresspros dot com. So or lead this
(02:38):
hour from the NFL, we continue to go round and
round and round and round and round and round and
round in our stop Kansas City Historic Arrowhead Stadium. I
was lucky enough about a year ago, coming up here
in early November. I was lucky enough to go to Arrowhead.
Had a great time, wonderful experience. I had a much
better experience than the had as Patty Mahomes making keg,
(03:03):
drinking Steve's smile ear to ear. Mahomes had not one,
not two, but three touchdown passes and two hundred and
eighty six yards passing, and the Chiefs they essentially evaporated
the once proud Raider franchise. The Raiders evaporated in front
of their eyes. Thirty one nothing. Now I mentioned that
Tom Brady's worst loss as a player was twenty seven
(03:25):
points at Arrowhead. Thirty one nothing, though, thirty one nothing
in this game. How bad was it? Well, if you
didn't see this or hear about it, it was so
bad that Kansas City head coach Andy Reid expressed sympathy
sympathy for Raiders coach Pete Carroll after that absolute curb
(03:48):
stopping a game that was not a game. It wasn't
just a mismatch, it was more than that, and so
Andy Reid issuing his condolences, if you Williams say condolences, buddy, Yeah,
said he felt felt bad for Pete care with all
the players out that the Raiders were supposed to have
that we're not playing in this game. So that is
(04:09):
a good jumping off point. Let's discuss the question, all right,
give me your reaction to Andy Reid feeling sorry for
Pete Carroll's Raiders. So on this one, I've got Duffel,
bag fish and chips and cannon balling, and we'll combine
(04:30):
all of these things together and we're gonna make the gobbagool.
We're gonna make the gobbagool, all right. So, first of all,
this is hideous on every level, not from Andy Reid's perspective,
from the Raiders perspective. Right, Like when Andy Reid a
division rival, I know that it's it's all everyone's in
(04:51):
bed with everyone in the NFL. It's a cartel. And
it's like owning a pizza hut, you know, or McDonald's
or a Starbucks. You're all in the same business together,
get it. I understand that. Being said, it is rather
shocking to hear Andy Reid, a proud man, a Hall
of Fame coach, Andy Reid against another Hall of Fame coach,
a divisional opponent, and someone who has spent almost his
(05:15):
entire career Andy Reid, turning the Raiders into pinatas whether
he was with the Eagles and been in Kansas City
royal and for him to come out and say he
feels bad for Pete Carroll, that's not sportsmanship. That is
a pineapple. It is a pity pineapple. Here you go, Pete,
here have some pineapple. It's a penny pineapple. Enjoy the pineapple.
(05:35):
That is the NFL equivalent of handing out a little ribbon.
You know you didn't win the game, he got shut out,
but you know you have you had a beaten and
broken roster. This is not the y MCA. It's not
and not everyone's getting the orange license and all that.
It's unncessary. The professional football the Chiefs, you wouldn't know
it was professional football from this outcome. The Chiefs didn't
(05:58):
just take down the race a couple of notches. They
murdered them. Four hundred and thirty four yards of offense.
Four hundred and thirty four yards of offense for Kansas City.
The Raiders had ninety five and they got about forty
of those in garbage time late in the game. Thirty
first downs for Kansas City three. Let me repeat that
(06:21):
for those of you in the back round. Thirty first
downs for the Chiefs, freight for the Raiders. Gino Smith
sixty seven yards passing. They will teach classes in university
down the line. How Gino Smith was able to pull
off this scam to get the Raiders to aid trade
(06:42):
for him and then pay him the amount of money
they're paying him. One of the great hustles of our time.
And that was Tom Brady that signed off on that.
By the way, don't forget that that's Tom Brady. It
was this Raider performance. It was so bad I can
turning back to well, why would you turn back to it?
I don't understand the Raiders. Gino Smith sixty seven yards passing,
(07:07):
and it was a duffel bag of d WBH. Now
what does that mean? Don't want to be here? The
duffel bag was don't want to be here. They felt
sorry for themselves. Here's Geno Smith pointing out that he
says the right thing, he just doesn't do the right
things on the field. He's talking about all the players
being out for the Raiders. Take a Listen, when.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I'm out there, I'm not thinking about those guys not
being out there. I'm thinking about the guys that the
eleven guys that we have on the field, and how
do we execute together to get it done? And again,
we're not getting it done right now at any phase.
And whenever something looks wrong, I tell you, guys all
the time, put it on me, because it's not about the.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Guys who are out there. It's about the guys who are.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I'm out there and I got to make the
players and I got to get it done.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You are getting done when the direct deposit hits your
bank account, you're getting it done there. Wow. Us. We
have seen exhibition football games in recent years, exhibition football
games where the teams looked more engaged. There was such
appe around the Raiders. It is fascinating. The Raiders look
like they were in a company retreat and they were
(08:07):
just going to Kansas City Tod barbecue and they were
just trying to get through the PowerPoint and try to
get over with nobody ask any questions. That's it. And
Pete Carroll again hall of Fame coach, allegedly all that stuff.
Where was the scheming like where's the pride? There was
no pride. No, you can't roll over like that. You
(08:28):
should never play like that, certainly not in a divisional
game against a supposed rival. And it's so bad the
other team apologizes. That's the Raiders, really Okay, that's where
the Raiders are right now. They continue to once proud
franchise the Raiders, who are now punchline. Their home games
are filled with fans of the other team because it
(08:50):
takes so expensive, because it's Vegas, and it's gotten so
bad that the executioner, Andy Reid is now handing out
a warm blanket. Here you go, have have a nice
blanket after the damage is done. Enjoy. And he wasn't trolling.
I don't think Andy Reid was trolling. He wasn't smirking.
He seemed dead serious. He feels bad for Pete Carroll.
(09:13):
He feels bad because all these guys are out and
they're fans calling for Pete Carroll to be fired. And
then you're ranting and raving as always, and there are
plenty of coaches that deserve to be fired. Brian Dayball
right at the top, Mike McDaniel in Miami, right there, Boom,
Carol the way, if you just judge him off this
performance and not the body of his work just this
(09:34):
year as a Raider, it's hard to make a compelling
argument that Pete Koch should remain the coach of the
Raiders and the cherry. On top of how bad things
are for the Raiders, is Andy Reid having a party,
a pity party. They go to Chuck e Cheese. You
have some pizza and I have some drinks, and play
some video games, play some ski ball, and there you go.
(09:55):
How low can you go? How low can you go?
All right? Now? Secondly to London we go the NFL
continuing these fugazi international games that nobody asked for, and
pu Gonna Court did not play. He could not ram
it all day, he could not ram it all night.
No problem, no Puoka, no problem. The shorthanded Rams feasting
(10:18):
on a nice dinner of Jaguar. They enjoyed it. Matthew
Stafford had not one, not two, not three, not four
five touchdown passes. I'm amazed that Stafford has played as
well as he had, considering the fact that we were
all told his aching back was not going to allow
him to play during the seasons. Well so far, he's
made it through almost half the year, and he seems fine.
In fact, he seems better than fine. The Rams get
(10:41):
a thirty five to seven thirty five to seven beatdown
of Jacksonville. The better stories on the losers side. Now,
Liam Kohne, the head coach in Jacksonville, who's a disciple
of Sean McVay, he had a lot to say postgame.
Let's go to the audio tape take of this.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
It's definitely frustrating. But you're just like everybody else in there.
In there, you know, you got to look inward first,
like what am I doing as the head football coach?
That's not clear right now? How am I communicating these things?
How am I and how are we practicing these things?
That's what I've got to look at, right, I mean,
(11:22):
I've got to look at the whole thing ultimately. But
not going to stand up here and blame these players.
It starts with me because.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You're not allowed to blame the players because there'll be
a revolt because the player is a bunch of pussy willows.
All right, So let us discuss the question coach Liam
Cohne blaming himself again. Right, you can't blame the players
blame yourself for the Jaguars getting absolutely patty whacked by
the Rams in an island game in London. Your thoughts
(11:50):
all right? So my thought I have two words, good luck,
good luck and anyone watching those. And I was half
half away calf asleep the whole thing. I was kind
of like a dolphin. Half my brain was asleep, half
my brain was awake watching this. But I was amazed
because Handy Kamaniams I went back and forth in this game.
I thought, well, the Rams without Pulka poka nakua, assuming
(12:12):
you get an honest effort by Jacksonville, they should be right.
There should be a field goal game at the end,
should have a chance to win it. And they were
non competitive. That is the theme of the day in
the NFL. Non competitive football. The Raiders, the Dolphins, and
the Jaguars. Holy Canoli terrible. This was a visceration situation,
(12:32):
is what It was, a full blown transatlantic pantsing of
the Jaguars. They got their doors blown off. I don't
know how many other ways I can say the same
damn thing, but you get the point. And then Colin
son about looking inward, which is like looking at the
mirror or something like that, which is, you know, spare
me right, spare me on that. You want to look inward,
how about we start with the thirteen penalties for one
(12:55):
hundred and nineteen yards thirteen the Rams got one hundred
nineteen yards of gift yardage. And if you want to
look inward on that, okay, all right, knock yourself out.
That was bad football. Capital be bad football coming apart.
If this seems undisciplined, I'm talking about culture and communication.
The Rams are better and all this stuff. How about
(13:18):
some accountability for the for the Jacksonville football team. My god,
if your guys can't line up straight without holding or
jumping off sides of where the Jags handed the Rams
not one, not two and three and o four and o' five,
not six, not seven eight first downs via penalty? You
know that the Rams got eight first downs via penalty.
They basically gift wrapped. Give wrap the game and say, hey,
(13:40):
Matthew Stafford, I know you're you're over only over here
for a couple of days. Enjoy some fish and chips,
and here's a win on us. Enjoy the rest of
your trip in London. It's like they were playing red Light,
Green Light, and the Jags kept getting shot in the
first five seconds and it was just undisciplined slop. And
I go back to what I said about the Raiders
(14:01):
and these other teams. It's like, it's not Week one
or two or three, it's it's the middle of season,
and this is what you got. Are these the dog
days of the NFL and baseball? They say after the
All Star break, those are the dog days where it's
very tough to play after the All Star Game and
late July, early August and all that stuff. Well, all right,
well it's not just this week. It appears the high
(14:23):
water mark for the Jacksonville football team was that miracle win,
the stunner of stunners, when they took down Cansas City
back on Monday Night football. And it has been a
slow motion eighteen car pile up on the side of
the road since that. Point ten penalties against Seattle last
(14:45):
week thirteen in London. So my computer like brain tells
me that's twenty three penalties for one hundred and ninety
five yards gifted. Here you go, take the here we go.
Just have those yards. That's not random. It's not random.
That is a team unraveling before your ears and your
(15:05):
eyes and all that stuff. That is a tinderbox. Even
Stevie Meatballs can see how messed up. This is Trevor Lawrence.
That moment when he tripped member was trying to scramble,
and then the Chiefs defense decided to take the playoff
and not hustle, and they allowed him to get up.
He fell down twice and scored the game winning touchdown.
That was the Disney moment, right, we were all that
(15:26):
was supposed to be the Disney moment for Jacksonville. Here
we go. Well, it turned out that instead of Disney,
they went Y League coyote and running right off the cliff.
Ever since that game and still pumping their legs like
idiots as they're falling down jumping off the cliff there. Wow,
the Rams were in total cruise control, no puka, no problem.
(15:48):
As we said, it looked like a walk through. It
looked like a walk through, and the Jags played like
they had just rolled out of some pub in London
and they were enjoying some pints of beer. And man,
that's the part that should terrify, terrify the Jacks because
(16:09):
this is the real Jacksonville Jaguars, right, this is the
team that we have seen over the years. They played
better than expectations, won a couple of games against Kansas City,
against the played well against the Niners as well. You're like, okay,
there's something going on here. And now a couple of
weeks in a row against the NFC West, all of
(16:30):
a sudden, not so much. All right, it is the
the Ben Malachio. Meanwhile, final fight. We go to TV
land quick right, all right, quickly, we go to TV
Land where you knew this was coming. In the NFL, Remember,
they decided to add commercials to the Red Zone channel,
and then the first weekend they basically mocked everyone that
(16:51):
criticized them adding commercials because they said, well, listen, there
weren't that many commercials. And it's like, okay, fine, all right,
but the NFL had been marketing seven hours of commercial
free football for years. But the spin from the NFL was, well,
there was like these commercials, no big deals, like just
four fifteen second spots, just a couple of ads during
(17:15):
the broadcast. It's a seven hour show. Come on, yeah,
you guys are going to the bathroom taking a whiz
more than we're playing commercials. Fine, well that didn't last long.
And many more commercials. This week, we are told on
the Red Zone channel with scon Hanson, gotta pay a salary.
Many more commercials. So the question is this, the NFL
(17:36):
has now dramatically increased the number of commercials from zero
to a bunch on the Red Zone channel. Help me
understand this, okay, So this one's not that hard. You
don't need the mall Rosetta stone to figure this out.
The frog is simmering. That's it. That's why the frog was.
(17:59):
I mean, span on it. Oh yea, I'll span on it.
So the NFL, what they're doing here is they're squeezing
more revenue. Right, commercials are here, let's add some more
commercial They're multiplying like gremlins. And they're not just dipping
their toes in the water anymore. No, no, no, they
are cannon ball cannon balling. They're cannon balling into the
(18:20):
Red Zone your commercials. And first it was four fifteen
second spots, barely noticeable, barely noticeable, and it's like a
pickpocket telling you, listen, I didn't take your wallet. I
just took some loose change in your in your in
your wallet, in your in your pocket. I did not
take the wallet. I left the wallet. I just took
(18:44):
the loose change, just some pennies and some quarters and
some dimes and that's it. So now now the NFL
is like, Okay, well now we're going for it, and
it's it's going to keep going higher and higher and higher.
The commercial free prompt to the NFL looks an awful
lot like now it's starting to look like everything else,
(19:05):
everything else that they've been running this scam in the
NFL forever because dumb people don't push back. Dumb people
just accept it. What are you gonna do? And it's
the froggy, it's the froggy. The pot is a boiling
The pot is a boiling the old boiling frog routine
where the NFL you don't throw the frog in the
(19:26):
pot of boiling water right, you jump out, but you
turn it up a little bit. The frog the water
slowly gets turned up and you just kind of the
frog swims around and then eventually you've got frog legs
because the frog's dead from lukewarm water to boiling hot
water before you know it. And the NFL has been
pulling this for years, for years. I remember when PSLs
(19:50):
became a thing, one of the great scams of all time.
You have to pay money for the right to pay
more money for tickets, and they got away with it.
In most NFL cities there's PSLs. Flexible scheduling is another one.
A lot of people playing their entire lives. I know
are Nesto for example, in the Bay Area. A bunch
of you guys travel to these games in the NFL,
(20:12):
Like I know, you bought your playing tickets, you got
your hotel, you got everything ready to go, your Airbnb
whatever it is. And then you know, ten days or
two weeks whatever before the game, we're gonna we're gonna
move the game time. Well, I got a flight. I
have to catch a fight, my fight. It doesn't work,
It doesn't matter because we're the NFL. Thursday night games
make players a knee buckle. They can plain about that.
You know, all this stuff now the sanctity of the
(20:35):
red roant as we correctly that's a hot take validation.
We correctly got it right. Hot take validation. This is
not about what's good for the customer. It's not about
what's good for the fan. It's about how much more
you can squeeze out of advertisers and the product. They're
already making billions. They gotta make more every fifteen second
at another brick in the wall between the NFL and
(20:59):
what made the the NFL red zone attractive? Commercial free.
When you think commercial free, you think fifteen second commercial.
Your fifteen second commercial. There all that so again in
this little exercise, you're the frog ribt rivit rivet you're
the frog. And then the pot's getting hotter. So I
hope you enjoy that. It is the Bend Maler shows.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
All right, back to it we go, Time to pay
off the Mallor Riddle of the day. Titans quarterback cam
Ward was attacked online for his blank after the latest
loss to the team from New England. As the Patriots
winning again in New England. Now look at their record,
(23:53):
shiny sexy record four wins in a row. They're five
and two. But the story here's about cam Ward. That
is the Mallar riddle of the day. Again, Titans quarterback
cam Ward was attacked online for his blank. Award went
out there and had, by his standards, not a bad game,
but not a good game either. All right, let's go
(24:13):
to the phones. Actually, let's go to the Twitter machine.
Seef anyody knows the answer, and let's see page don
He was mocked for disco dancing on the sidelines that
guests by our friend Bobby in Florida. Who else do
we have? Page Dan Ward was criticized for his attire
he wears to games all right, accused of giving toothbrushes
(24:35):
instead of candy for Halloween for his love of Neapolitan
ice cream. Guess by Alf the Alien Opiner his kool
Aid Halloween costume from Donkey Sausage. Yes that's a little bit, Yeah,
a little much, Ferd Dog says for tucking his shirt
into his underwear. Interesting not flushing guess by Asher Femi
(24:59):
in Minnesota says he was mocked online for his girlfriend.
King Roy says his breakfast a very interesting choice of
breakfast there, King Roy in Wisconsin's an authentic Wisconsin breakfast?
What else? A j Dot in Utah? I thought you
were working the day shift? J dot, what are you doing?
What do you Jay? You should go to bed. You
shouldn't be awake, j Dot, you're working the day shift,
(25:19):
he says. Cam Ward was accused of water instead of gatorade. Okay,
using water instead of gatorade. His Partridge Family lunchbox Old
School by Doc Dan Chris and Kent Washington says we're
leaving a baby Ruth in the hotel swimming pool. She
never do that, Fudgie says. Hygiene a schedule bad hygiene
(25:42):
schedule from Fudgie in Boston. Fudgie used to call the
incidant advice. I'm not call anymore on that one. What
else do we have? See page down? Can't read that one.
I saw a monkey, but biz Doug checked in. Tom
from Kansas City says attacked for the la la boo
boo collection from Tom in Kansas City, jt the wingman
(26:03):
for using a squatty potty. That that is the answer.
What else you have? Page down? All that's enough, Loraina.
Do you have an answer to the malorriddle of the day. Yeah,
I'm just gonna have to assume he's been mocked for
his horrible beginning rookie season. All right, horrible rookie season
is incorrect. Cam Ward has been mocked for his small hands,
(26:24):
tiny hands, tiny hands, t recks. Yeah, well that's sart.
Well it's a quarterback there, and yeah, Arizona. But anyway,
New England winning Mike Frable Revenge game and cam Ward
everyone talking about his small hands. His hands measured at
nine inches. That is the eighth percent dile eight percent
(26:47):
dial And does it matter? It depends if you play poorly.
It matters if you don't play poorly, it doesn't matter.
Cam Ward though, had thirty four fumbles in the four
seasons of college football, and that being brought up as
you look at the results of this season, cam having
some issues holding on too said football, and so people
(27:10):
are like, what's going on. He did lose a fumble
in this game and has had some issues along the way.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
The other quarterback recently that had tiny hands, that was
a big story.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Kenny Pickett had really small He sucks. Where do we
measure from? What do we measure from? Like the base
of the palm to the tip of the well you
want us to I'm just curious.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You you'd have to answer that better than me. I
don't know what. I don't know what the measurement would be.
I have no idea. I've never measured hand. I don't know.
I'm just I'm just curious. I'm sure you are. Yeah,
you measure from the top side or the bottom? Do
you think the top of the middle finger down? I
don't know. I don't know. I would.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I think it's definitely from the I think you're right, Ben,
I think it's top to bottom.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
But to hold the football, think about it, I get
top to bottom, because if you hold the football you
sideways thumbed to your small finger, it doesn't really matter
right as much you're holding it with your thumb underneath
and then your top finger like a claw claw machine
like that. You know. No, Oh, no, I just I
just I just looked it up. I got the football
(28:15):
right here. So you hold it like this, it is.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
They use a tape measure to find the distance from
the tip of the pinky finger to the tip of
the thumb with the hand fully outstretched.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay, so so you have to be fully uh yeah,
I got you, all right, very alright. You said it.
I didn't say. Let's go to the phones. Let's go
to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hellou James, Hey James,
(28:46):
how big are your hands? James? Yeah? Is that right? Okay,
all right, I got you. All right, Let's go to
I was gonna go to Nick and Berkeley. He hung up.
Let's go to Dick in Dayton. You got the Dixure.
Hell out, Dicky.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Good morning, Ben and crew. How are you?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
The Browns are back? Maybe the Browns are.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Back, I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You and the BEng What a great weekend for Dick
and Dayton. My god, this is your dream come true.
They both won. Give me a little taste of that Dick. Amazing.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Oh, it was amazing. I really thought the Browns were
I don't know. They had to talk, but somebody gave them.
They looked pretty good, didn't they. I thought they'd looked good.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, well, it's winning game thirty one to six, How
are you gonna look bad? Yeah, they didn't. They didn't
actually have a ton of offense. It was bad as
you saw the game I saw he heard on the radio.
Was bad weather, right, it was rainy the first half
and winny and all that stuff. But put up thirty
one points and I think they only had like two
hundred yards of offense, but didn't matter.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Yeah. And it was a shock about the Bengals, you know,
they Paco would look so darn good, and the Bengals
and then Ohio State don't think it's going to lose
a game.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But you know how.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Upsetting was it as a Cleveland Brown You like both
Ohio teams. You're mister Ohio, You're the Chamber of Commerce
of the sovereign State of Ohio. But does it bother
you that the Browns traded Joe Flacco, and he looked
like the greatest quarterback in the NFL this weekend. No,
it does not bother. Okay, you're okay with it because
you like Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Oh, yes, you do really good.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
And you know another thing, the Lions were so busy,
as you probably know. I didn't get on last night
to Titus and Titus and Jeff. It was about twenty
six and I was They were talking about you know,
southern Ohio and Titus and Jeff said, I think Dick
(30:46):
knows people all around. He said, he gets around and
very positive on his teams. And you know, it was
pretty good. I enjoyed it. I hear it.

Let's say, let's say hello to we do have the
(31:41):
incident of ice line coming up. Let's go to three Chains.
It says here. I think it says that, hello, three change,

three changes?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Is proud and happy to be on the show. Good morning,
good afternoon, good evening, good night. Depend upon whether you're
listening to Three Changs Live or three A's out in
the man. But listen, I have to correct earlier in
the show, and I'm sorry. I'm not good with names.
I listened to you. I'm traveling across the US right now.
But uh, And it refers to the giant signing the
(32:13):
college baseball coach. Not the first time, till.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
All your phone's breaking up here? Hold, who's that who
they named the guy.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Who Bobby Winkles I.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Have no idea who know, But I don't know who
that is. I have no I don't know the Brewers
manager was he was a coach at Notre Dame or yeah,
he was a college coach at Notre Dame, but he
worked in baseball before he became a big wing manager.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Three chains, listen, I wanted to talk about the New
York Giants situation.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, what about I.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Don't think for my time in the Western Pro Hockey League,
this would be one of those occasions like giving up
fifteen goals and not getting any having any penalty minutes.
So I see you like it. The coach cannot be
allowed to enter's office on Monday. The kicker needs a home,
and I'm trying to find John Gruden's phone number because
(33:11):
I think that would be an excellent choice.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
It could say.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
The NFL about twenty million dollars that the Supreme Court's
about to award him. And also my final thing is
that you got a bunch of D one glazers. As
far as callers, I'm going to be a permanent collar
to the show. I'm polarizing, but I'm articulate and unlike
(33:37):
a lot of your callers.

to dominate and uh listen, none of your callers can
be confused to put people up for road scholarship.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Oh look at you, How doubt dare you? How dare you?
Many of these people have paved roads. I don't know

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
