Speaker 1 (02:14):
We are back at it this hour on this Monday
with Monday Night Football tonight as the Old Man Rivers
crew from Indianapolis takes on the forty nine ers in.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
The Monday Night Game.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
But our lead this hour from South Florida as we
take a peek at the coaching carousel round and round
and round and round, and it's not going so well.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Not going so well.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
There's a supply chain shortage on available candidates, but it
appears that a number of these coaches need to be
whacked and We're not talking about whack a mole. We're
seeing whack Get rid of them, get them out of here.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Any meenie miney moe.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Now in South Florida, the Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel had
an interesting day.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
He declined to address.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Status as coach of the football team in South Florida.
This after the Dolphins were completely flummixed by the Bengals
forty five twenty one on Sunday and a couple of
teams going nowhere. That came hours after the prov The
news service of the NFL, the state sponsored NFL Network,

(03:21):
reported that the owner, Steven Ross, was going to stick
with Mike McDaniel as the head coach, going to get
rid of Tua and stick with McDaniel in twenty twenty six,
another season, the Dolphins had some expectations. They were unfulfilled
expectations for that football team who hold the NFL's longest

(03:42):
playoff win drought at twenty five years. That is over
a generation of generations between twenty and twenty five years,
So they have gone a full generation, the Dolphins without
being able to win a playoff game. Congratulations, Now, did
you hear what McDaniels said, you did not, all right.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
He did not haggle. When he was asked if you
missed it, he.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Said, quote, I don't spend my time thinking about the
job I already have.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
McDaniel said, flatly.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
I try to do it to the best of my ability,
and I have work to do to get our third
quarters right close quote all right, So that's a good
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, Mike McDaniel declining,
declining to discuss his future with the Dolphins. How is

(04:35):
the long term forecast looking?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
How does it looking?

Speaker 1 (04:40):
So my view on this, I've got bubble Wrap, Shakespeare
and Costco, and we will combine all that together, and
we are going to make the Ben Mallard chicken fingers
only available in the Greater Kansas City area. Yes, at
the landing there, and we had a great event last year.

(05:00):
Hoped to go back at some point again in the
future to Kansas City, great city, great food, and the
Ben Malloch chicken figures.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
So we'll combine all these together, you know the deal.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
So first of all, if you look at the Malard
weather models, we use the Roberto Mexican DOPL two thousand radar.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
He left behind when he left us to become a
bus driver. We looked at that. So it's foggy with
a chance of pink slips. That's the door. Yeah, that's right, Roberto.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Long term forecast, foggy with the chance of pink slips. Now,
McDaniel declined, as you heard to talk about his future,
which is always the first sign that the roof is leaking.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
And the landlord knows the roof is leaking, it's gonna
be one of these. I really like you. I don't
want to get rid of you, but your ass is
out here now.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
He mentioned that the Dolphins have to fix what's going
on in the third quarter, and coaches always talk about
third quarters when the whole house is on fire.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's emotional buffering, is what it is. Here, the verbal bubble.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Wrap of the NFL. You've got the old man, Stephen Ross.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
He's got owns the team and I'll talk about patients.
He's in his mid eighties.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
And we have seen if you hire the right coach,
you don't have to worry.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
You know, the Rams sucked for years. They hired Sean McVay.
They've been a consistent contender. They've won the Super Bowl
with McVeigh. They've been to multiple Super Bowls. They hired
the right coach right now. The Chicago Bears Ben Johnson
looks like they hired the right coach at least this year.
Beginner's luck. They're a good team. New England Patriots Mike
Rabel hired a good coach right there. But playing a

(06:46):
bunch of tomato cans beating up those teams. Does anyone
think that Mike McDaniel is the right coach? Has he
shown that he's the right coach?

Speaker 1 (06:53):
You could sound bite sounds like he's always on some
kind of bender when he talks to the media and
all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's just not working out.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
And so you talk about having patients and all that stuff,
and then this coaching staff smells like expired milk. It's
not good. The thing of a jig is broken. And worse,
the locker room knows that. The Dolphins, if you look
at their recent performance here, they have turned out into
a bad infomercial at four in the morning. Right first,
Miami turned into popsicles against the Steelers. We could see

(07:26):
them freeze on television on the Monday night game last week.
Then they hopped on the Lazy River versus The Bengals
got bludgeoned by forty five points. They gave four consecutive
touchdown drives off, four straight touchdown drives off Miami either
turnovers or turnovers on downs, and four hundred yards of offense.

(07:47):
Joe Burrow it looked like he was back at Louisiana
State batl rouge lsu scrimmaging Utah State or Louisiana tack
seven on seven, no pads, no resistance, zero resistance, and
there's smoke pouring.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Out of the hood. The oh my god, the smoke.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
And instead of pulling over to the side of the road,
you're cranking the radio up and you're calling it process.
It's just part of the process. But they appears the
car's on fire. But no, no, no, just turn the
radio up, baby, that's all you gotta do.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Okay, thank you. That doesn't seem like good advice.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Now.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Secondly, we go to Charlotte, North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Most games are lost, not one, and we saw that
yet again on display in the game for the NFC
South top spot. A miscommunication with wide receiver Mike Evans,
an errant throw by quarterback Baker Mayfield, turn at the

(08:53):
Lads the parties over.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, Buccaneers screwed up.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Had an opportunity to take control of the NFC South
with a twenty three to twenty win, and instead they
lose twenty three twenty They well, they would have won
conceivably twenty seven to twenty three.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
They end up losing by three points.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
They go down as the Panthers get to eight and seven.
They went on Sunday there. The loss was the buccaneers
six loss in their last seven games, the first time
Mayfield's ever lost in his career against the team he
played for briefly, the Carolina Panthers. Anyways, Baker Mayfield is

(09:35):
getting absolutely harpooned. Baker Mayfield for what's going on. But
that final pass play, the Buccaneers were kind of in
field goal range. They were trying to get closer to
get in really legit field goal range, and Mike Evans
went one way, he zigged, and the pass.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Went the other way. And here is Baker Mayfield on
what went wrong.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm trying to find a land to step through and
make the throw to him, and he thought I was
gonna scramble, which you know, based on some of the
scrambles earlier to that you can't blame him. It's just, honestly,
it's just a sucky situation.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, Well they lose the game and Baker Mayfield, their
sucky situation is getting absolutely just beaten apart, just bludgeoned.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I'm trying to get the right word here describe it
for that throw.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So the question Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield under fire, under
fire after the disastrous ending in Charlotte, and really just
what has happened the last couple of months to Baker Mayfield?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
So what's gone wrong? What has gone wrong? Now?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
In this particular game, Baker Mayfield was given at the
end of that game a golden ticket. You got a
gold min ticket. He got a gold yeah field goal range,
chance to tie the game late in the game. All
all he had to do was pretty much nothing. Just

(11:04):
don't turn the ball over. Just don't f the game up.
Just don't turn the ball over, sit on your hands,
become furniture. And instead Baker went rogue. As we mentioned,
he zigged when the universe screamed, you got a zag.
We used to have a caller named zig Zag in
the early days of the show. I don't know what ever,
happened to him. But anyway, Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans

(11:24):
were not on the same page. They were not on
the same chapter, they were not speaking the same language.
One was reading Shakespeare, the other was on a cereal box.
And Baker Mayfield has pulled a quantum leap during this
twenty twenty five NFL regular season from early season MVP
front runner Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
And people complimenting him how great he looked and how.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Amazing he had been, and we liked the way that
Baker plays with Gusto and Moxie and all that stuff. However,
now you look at Baker Mayfield, He's gone from the
MVP front runner like Week five and now he's like
a dog that needs a fleet dip and a cone
of shame. The way that he's played since Week eate,

(12:12):
since Week eight, Baker Mayfield is a bottom three quarterback
in the NFL. The people he's hanging out with are
JJ McCarthy of the Minnesota Vikings and Shadur Sanders.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Or the Cleveland Browns. They're the only ones that have
been worse.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
That is not a cold tree. This is freezer burn
burn burn, burn, burn burn.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
And here's the real damage.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
He's torched what was expected to be a contract extension.
It was believed, based on the early play, that the
Buccaneers were going to go to Baker and say, hey,
how would you like some more money?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
And who turns down more money?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
And then Baker would have taken the money, and instead
it looks like he's going to have to play out
the final year of his contract as a lame duck,
playing not for coupons, but a lot less than he
would have gotten had he gotten another payday. So the
pause button has been placed on the Baker Mayfield contract
extension now final thought to Jacksonville and Denver a blowout

(13:15):
as the Broncos celebrated defense was flambayed. They were charbroiled
by the amazing Jacksonville office.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
What happened here? So a big time win? The win
in Denver? What about the altitude?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Impressed many NFL pundits who are now of course going
over the top and they're slobbering all over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Slapper slabber slabber.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
And are the Jaguars now a legitimate team to watch
in the postseason? Developing hot dot dot dot, you've got
Trevor Lawrence, who's on burner right now, and what's going
on with him. Jaguars are being hyped as a quote
legit team Liam Cone walking around feeling his oats and

(14:07):
smelling his oats and all that stuff. He is not
worried about the narrative. He's not clearly the question are
the Jaguars are they really unlocking Trevor Lawrence? Or is
this a sugary rush that we're seeing right now? So
that's the question. Now, I would say, slow the parade. Oh,

(14:31):
you're such a hater, malord. Slow the break. This is
peak funfetti cookies right here. This is funfetti cookies, sprinkles
in the air everywhere. Now, the last four games, Trevor
Lawrence has over one thousand yards passing, fourteen total touchdowns
and zero turnovers. Methinks that's pretty good. That's video game

(14:53):
like play. That's cheat code activated. No debate on this
side of the microphone, doball Auty, he is bawling. However,
when you look at the Mouther Dakota ring, sustainability the
s word sustainability. Now, Denver was a legitimate opponent coming in.

(15:15):
They had the longest winning streak in the NFL. They
were at home and all that. The rest of these
wins for Jacksonville over the last month. The Chunkies, tomato
soup can stacked like lawn chairs.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
At a tailgate and you get a tomato. Can you
get a tomato? Can you get it? Tomato can? Now,
this might be fools goal. We used the analogy earlier.
We'll bring it back. It's like a Costco sample.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
And the reason they give out samples at Costco is
not because they love to give their product away for free,
is because they know that if you take a little
bite of a cookie, it slaps right.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's like, oh man, that's good.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
I need to get a box of cookies. Because you
can't just buy a box of cookies. You have to
buy a whole palette of cookies at Costco. So you
buy a whole palette of cookies. And then you're like, well,
wait a minute, I like the sample it slapped, but
not having to eat the entire palate that's no good.
So December football can flatter you. January football, it exposes you. Playoffs.

(16:19):
Playoffs turned quarterbacks into either prime rib or dog biscuits.
Right now in the regular season, Trevor Lawrence has been
prime rib over the last month or month in a
few weeks, and will he turn into a dog biscuit
when the playoffs get around now? Coach Liam Cohen says
he's not worried about the narrative. Of course he's not.

(16:40):
Criticism is jet fuel outside noise becomes the villain. It's
the same psychological cheat code so many teams use. We
pointed out, we find it's amusing. You win, if you're
a team like Jacksonville, you.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Shock the world. And if you lose, nobody believed in
us anyway, your doubt.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's called house money, kids, you're playing with house money,
and the bill always comes due in the playoffs. But
Jacksonville certainly playing very well right now. The Jaguars over
the last couple of weeks have been dominating, and I
thought that would end in Denver. It obviously did not,

(17:21):
And so the good times rolling on for the Jags.
Will they lose another game in the regular season. It's
Jacksonville team going to finish the journey here, and there's
two games left. They got eleven wins, they gonna get
thirteen wins. They got the Colts with either old Man
Rivers or should Should Indianapolis lose the game on Monday night,

(17:45):
we would assume they'd send Rivers back in a comet
to the backwoods of Alabama, and then they'll start somebody
else in week eighteen. And then after that Jacksonville plays Tennessee,
which is a tomato can so then that should be.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
A show up and win game, even if you play
your backups. And then the.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Colts game also, you'd think the Colts, I know Jacksonville
usually they usually beat the Colts in Jacksonville and lose
in Indy. That's the way that thing's gone. We'll see
what happens here. That game is in Indianapolis.

Bears upset the Green Bay Packers in the Saturday special,
the Late game on Saturday. So that is the question,
and what is the answer. Let's see does anyone know

(22:51):
the answer? We go to the great Unwashed here and
see a late night drug tester says a snuggie is
the answer. Alf the alien opiner says he wore a
basketball jersey.

didn't have to worry about that.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
A cheesehead hat from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
No, that's ain't correct out.

The Mallard Riddle of the Day.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Caleb Williams turning heads recently, wearing a blank in photos
as he handed out meals after the Bears upset the Packers.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
I think he was wearing an outfit completely made of gingerbread.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Gingerbread, like the gingerbread man that'd being delicious.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
He smells so good. Unfortunately it's incorrect. Correct answer, Caleb Williams,
Bears quarterback, turned heads over the weekend, wearing a.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Fall cheese Greater hat, a cheese greater hat in photos.
Of course, the rival, the Bears rival, the Packers wear
the cheese head, and so as a payback.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
You wear the cheese greater. Of course, be careful what
you do with that. Let's go to the funt.

Speaker 1 (26:18):

I like your guests, though.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
That was a good guess. Are you wearing a speedo

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Fat.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Well, I'm not going to push back on that, James.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
I'm not going to push back on that.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
All right?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Come on, Well, if he's fat, he's got extra cushion
for the pushing. Right there, you go. That's right, that's
one way to look at it.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yes, what.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
I can't understand what you're saying. I don't know if
it's my headphones or you like something. I'm sure you
like something, and yeah that's a connection. Yeah, what's wrong
with your phone? James? What's going on with that.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
I got the Obama phone going on, and Obama don't
want to serve me?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Right, Yeah, I don't know what a thing.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Always you were a president, you got to put your
your name on something, right, That's the key to we pray.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
You gotta put your name.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
What I got a Trump logo on that.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
I got name on the back of it.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
On your Obama phone, my Obama phone, you're combining. Do
you have a Biden one too? Or do you have
like the how far back do you go?

Speaker 5 (28:35):
I got a Nancy one?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
There you go, get the ball.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
What do you think about my Mike? I think it
went out a little stupid because the bear that could
beat the Bears one.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Time, James, the Vikings are not going to the playoffs?
What are we doing here? We know that there, I
know that.

Speaker 1 (28:56):

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yes, it's gonna come down of the way of Chicago
and San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (29:06):

Speaker 1 (29:33):
And coming up later this hour, we will have the
Insta advice line unscreamed calls, which means James will probably
call back, and blind Scott will call back, and all
the regulars.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Less for James. The advice if you wanted Obama to
serve you right, don't put a picture or sticker of
Trump on your Obama phone, just the one of advice.
He probably will not try to serve you correctly. You
remember he tried to make basketball sho in front of
public and he made two out of twenty two. I
think he's kind interest interesting. Glenn Beck put on meat
hands as they made beat gloves, and he made more

(30:08):
shots than Obama did. Ah, he never big porting in
his life. And hey, that's good. If Verna doesn't want
to hook up with Michael Lapron con because he's got
a chicken, Hey, no harm, no foul, take on, take
this up.

I think that's funny. I mean you're allowed to do
it sports. They here's run run, run around new and
you make the linebackers look stupid. That's the game of
the game. Matter of fact, we teach youth kids deception
by teaching a sports right out of the wound.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Oh my god, Stacker, you fake mark pull it back. No,

Speaker 1 (33:17):
And when your words bite back, when your words bite back.
The Miles Garrett Edition, dateline, Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns blow,
There were street blows. The Browns are three and twelve
and they lost. Then it was closely, it was supposed
to be to the Buffalo Bills, but twelve loss of

(33:38):
the season. Now despite Miles Garrett having a historical seasons
closing in on the all time sacks record the defensive end,
and he was asked a loaded question. You might remember
Garrett asked for a trade, demanded a trade. The Browns
paid him some more money, so he shut up. Reporter
asked him. He said, when you went through the trade request,

(33:59):
you said you didn't care about records, all that stuff,
all that fame, all that stuff. He just wanted to win.
So with two games to go, you guys are three
and twelve, what's it been like for you? The reporter
as Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett refused to answer the question

(34:19):
by saying, next question after a pause, and he moved on, Well,
it's when your words come back to bite you. He's
like he did this whole big rant. He wanted a trade.
I don't care about records. I want to win. I'm
a winner.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
And here we are.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
The Browns absolutely suck and they're celebrating this Miles Garrett
Sack record as they're beacon this season, and he's really
leaning into it now. He's all about it. Yet when
he wanted to get a trade, he's like, no, no, no,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I don't I don't care about stats. I don't care
about stats.
