Speaker 1 (00:00):
Omaha, omaha. It's our number four, Hour number four, ready
to go. And here in hour number four we talk
about that early primetime game Bucks and Lions. How much
damage does that stink bomb performance do for Bucks quarterback
Baker Mayfield's MVP campaign. Also, quarterback Jared Goff knows the
(00:24):
Lions should have blown that game open, implying that they
could have played much better. Your thoughts on that? And
should the NFL get rid of these code current NFL
Monday night games, these Monday night games where they stack
them and they bleed into each other. We'll talk about that.
Here it is our number four. Have a wonderful Tuesday.
(00:46):
Well they call him Baker on this day, he was
not the touchdown maker. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the

That's www dot expresspros dot com. So we're back at
it and we saved the Monday night. A game, not
the big game, not the big game, the a game
for the a block of our number fall that's right,
our under fun preview of coming attractions there, so our
(02:44):
number four and a big game big I guess relatively speaking,
a big game. The way they've been doing this, there's
normally one good match up and then one eh eh.
This is the last of the doubleheaders. More on that
in a minute. Not double headers because they're co current,
concurrent games on Monday Night football. But our lead is
(03:06):
from Motown. We did not see the Commodores out on
the field, but did see double barrel action in the NFL.
And the featured game was in me Chagan where Baker
Mayfield leading the Buccaneer bandwagon chure into Detroit. There a
little wrestling match with Jared Goff and the MotorCity kiddies.
(03:29):
Were you watching this game, We're watching the baseball game.
This started about an hour before the baseball game. You
had the Fox refugees, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. They
had the call and you know this was the bigger
game because they sent dan Orlofsky to the game in Seattle,
which went to the Seahawks, and they sent Aikman to
this game, so you know this game was more important.
Otherwise they would have said Aikman to Seattle, but they
(03:51):
didn't do that. So if you didn't see it and
you missed the game. Jamiir Gibbs rumbling and stumbling and
bumbling a pair of touchdowns. He had a career high
two hundred and eighteen yards from scrimmage. Now, I didn't
play in the NFL off to check with Ryan Clark,
but I think that's a good performance. He led the
Lions to a twenty four to nine victory, which also
(04:12):
I'm told is good over the Buccaneers on Monday Night,
the Lions five and two, and they boomerang back after
losing into Cansa City, And so there you go, flawlessly. Well,
they weren't flawless. There were some mistakes in the first half,
but they have been very good for the last three years.
(04:34):
They have the NFL's longest active streak fifty one games
without dropping two straight in the regular season. Now, if
you took someone and put them in they take them
from the year I don't know, two thousand and seven,
two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, or any
point before that, and you put them into a trance
(04:58):
like state, say in the year two thousand, thousand and seven,
and you then woke them up from their coma in
the year twenty twenty five, and you said the Lions
have now gone nearly three years without losing back to
back game, they would have said, this is a dream.
This is not real. This is a dream. They don't
do that. The Lions lose two or three games every
(05:18):
stretch of time anyway, so the lines are five and two.
They bounce back from the loss. And the better story, though,
is in the losing locker room the Buccaneers, the feel
good story to begin the NFL season, the scrappy Buccaneers
and they end up doing what, well, nothing really of
(05:39):
note offensively, just a stink bag performance. And before we
get into Baker Mayfield's play on the field, Baker had
some issues with the Zebras. Apparently he's not a fan
of the Zebras, so he was not happy with a
couple of things that went the way of the Lions.
He felt like there was a bit of injustice, if
(06:01):
you will, against the Buckets. What Rather than me get
into it, here's Baker Mayfield explaining his issues with the Buccaneers.
Take a list.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I'm still pretty damn confused about the double review. A
lot of things in that game that a little questionable,
but a lot of frustration at the end of that
and it might be displaced on the John Hussey in
the moment, but I work my ass off when I
put a lot into this game. So when things that
I don't seem are deemed fair, I'm going to let
(06:29):
somebody know. And that's good, bad, and different.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay. We recorded that on a mister microphone from nineteen
eighty two and it sounds really good. So let us discuss.
Baker Mayfield is the jumping off point. He did not
play well in this game. So how much damage? Here's
the question, how much damage? As we discussed, does this
game do for the NVP campaign of Bucks quarterback Baker Mayfield.
(06:56):
So on this one, I've got magic carpet ride, I've
got thing and mom and Pop diner, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the Gobba gool. We're gonna make the Gobba goool,
all right? So number wa, I said, number that's right?
(07:17):
All right? This was a body blow, body blow, body
blow to the Baker Mayfield MVP hype train. The train
is slowing down right now. Now. If you want to
be the man, you have to get it done in primetime, right, MVP,
If you want to be the MVP of the NFL,
you cannot go to Motown and play a sour note.
(07:38):
You can't do it. Can't lay a big fat creamsicle egg,
which is essentially what Baker Mayfield did here nine stinking points.
You're not going to win the MVP with this type
of more if you can dominate Atlanta at one o'clock
on Sunday or Carolina at one o'clock on Sunday. Okay, fine,
(07:59):
but we saw and I'm a Baker Mayfield. I'm now
on the Baker bandwagon. Jue Churee, I'm on the bad wagon.
I might have to jump off though. What we saw
was a magic carpet ride for the first part of
the NFL season, and the carpet inside the dome at
Ford Field actually ripped mid air. That's not good. It's
(08:22):
kind of like when the propellers on a helicopter stopped spinning.
There's only one way to go. Uh yeah, there's no
soft landing. So Baker has been living under the narrative
he's the ultimate underdog. He's in bra he was the
number one overall pick, right, top pick. How are you
in the under Jared Goff the same thing. These guys
(08:42):
were both the top pick and the draft. They're like, oh,
the underdog. Okay, really, I thought, if you're the top pick,
you're not the underdog. And he has that chip on
his shoulder and it works for him. And the cute
little story that he's getting it done there and I
didn't nobody thought he could do it. And he played
it two different colleges before it was cool to play
at two different colleges and all that. And he went
out there and the Lions just bit his kneecaps off
(09:03):
and it was a flushit kind of performance. Now, when
I say flushit kind of performance, get out the charman, Grandma,
I gotta flush it down the pipes. That kind of performance.
Twenty eight to fifty passing, which is not great, just
two hundred twenty eight yards. He was very similar to
c J. Stroud, which is not a compliment.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
C J.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Stroud sucks at his job. Baker Mayfield on this night
sucked at his job. Four point six yards per attempt.
He had one touchdown, one interception. There wasn't fumble, and
I know he recovered it. He recovered it. Fumbles are
fifty to fifty balls. They're fifty to fifty balls. Listen.
It was not very MVP like. That's the point of
this diatribe. That's the point of this rant. You're not
(09:45):
on a glamour team, much to the dismay of my
friend TJ. Reeves, who's the sideline reporter for the Tampa Buccaneers,
you are not a glamour team. You're not in Dallas, Okay.
You're not in Kansas City with Taylor Swift and her
fifty fan based supporting Travis Kelsey. You're in Tampa. And
when you're in Tampa, in order to win an MVP,
(10:06):
you have to dominate these island games live the Island life.
Didn't do it, didn't. You have to be head and
shoulders above everyone else. And Baker didn't just fall short
of that bar in this game. He dug a hole
and buried the bar. He had a ceremonial of a bearing,
you know how, like the Dodgers dug up the pitching
(10:27):
mound to honor the death of Clayton Kershaw's career as
a Dodger. Well the in the the opposite here, Baker
Mayfield dug a hole and buried the bar, the MVP bar.
Now Mayfield's campaign this is it feels like more of
a speed bump. It's more than that. It's like a
It's like a thud. That's the sound I heard. I heard.
It was a thud that I heard. Now the voter
(10:49):
saw it. I saw it. I was flipping back and
forth out the MVP train. Now it's not I don't
want to be too dramatic. I have a show to
do tonight. It is not derailed, like, it's not completely
off the tracks the MVP campaign. Let's just say that
it's belching some smoke right now. It's farting a little bit.
That's what trains do. They fart smoke. And the conductors
(11:11):
got that little worried look on his face, like I
don't know what to do if he's supposed to do,
I don't know what to do. What am I gonna do?
I have no idea what to do all right now?
Following that game, and we mentioned the bucks and that's
the better story. But in the winning locker room, the Lions,
they win the game. But here's the question. Quarterback Jared
(11:31):
Golf I'm still haunted by his time with the Rams.
Jared Goff knows. He said postgame that the Lions quote
should have blown that game open close quote, implying rather
obviously that they did not play that well, could have
played better. Should have won by more, could have, would have,
(11:53):
should have. So your thoughts on Jared Goff saying the
Lions should have blown that game open? All right? So
my thought, my first thought is like spot the dog,
this is spot on. Absolutely, he's right, He's dead right.
I agree with Jared Goff on this alliance and listen
on the TV or the YouTube show now Benny versus Benny.
(12:15):
I did take I'm not gonna lie. I took it.
I went one and one on the night I had Tampa.
I like the scrappy quarterback. I like the team that's
trying to overachieve and all that. So I was on
the wrong side of this game and watching the game
in real time, I did think there's no chance. The
butcher can have no chance, and yet they had a
legitimate opportunity in the second half because of the generosity
(12:37):
of the Lions. The Lions should have wrapped this thing up.
They should have had it gift wrapped and done and
that's it. See you later. They could have put the
creamsicles on ice. They did not do that. Detroit was
up fourteen to three at halftime in this game. It
should have been twenty eight to nothing. And I'm not exaggerating.
It should have been twenty eight to nothing at halftime.
(12:58):
This wasn't even close on the statue, and the Lions
kept FFing up. The Lions at halftime had two hundred
seventy five yards of offense. The Buccaneers had fifty eight
at the break. That's so bad. How bad is it?
That's like a Raider Chiefs game. How lopsided this was
at halftime. But yet it was only an eleven point game.
(13:19):
And Tampa they had no pulse on offense, they had
no rhythm, they had no nothing, and yet mathematically they
were still in the game. And that's the part that
should worry you if you are a member of the
Marching and Chid of Society of the Detroit Lions, like
(13:39):
you're supposed to be a heavyweight contender for the Championship
of Theuero and you're supposed to be the team that
steps on people's throats. Didn't see it? You left the
door open, you did. They led a team with Baker Mayfield,
who I like wasn't playing well, and a bunch of
guys that were together. They had Elmer's glue and they
(14:03):
had Scotch tape, and they just kind of threw it
all together and they had duct tape and Detroit was
out there fiddling around. Despite having all of these yards
and all that stuff, they let a team end up
sneaking her back into the game. And it's not like
they don't have the firepower with Aman Rossy and Brown,
Jamir Gibbs went absolutely bonkers with the two hundred plus yards.
(14:25):
They got a host of playmakers. You know it. I
know it. Every man, woman and child that pays attention
to the football knows it. And yet still it was
anyone's game, any one's game. A lot of yards that
were like empty yards because they were between the twenties,
so there was a lot of that where they were
intriculating the ball down the field and then once they
(14:47):
got to about the thirty yard line, right around that area,
there were some issues. And so that's where we are.
And so with Dan Campbell, he's got the vibe man,
good vibes. It's just a it's messy and you look
around and the Lions are clunky. It's not clean. And
(15:07):
that's part of a larger trend that we've noticed around
the NFL. Like the Chiefs, you say, well, they're playing
really good. Now they played the Raiders. I mean, they
did beat the Lions, but the Chiefs didn't look very
good early in the year. And now we're in the
middle part of the year, the middle class of the
NFL season, they're doing better. The Bills, eh, lost of
(15:29):
the Falcons. You lost to the loss of the Patriots
at home, So that's mat The Eagles have warts, they're
signing guys out of the retirement home. Even Kathy and
Madison's like, what are you doing? And now the Lions
are in the same bucket. I have them in that
same bucket. Talented, but it's complicated, it's messy. It's messy.
(15:53):
So again, the vibes are but the thing of a jig.
See that's the thing of a jig, the engine, whatever
you want to call it. It's not fully humming at
this point, so it's kind of coughing. It's coughing down
the interstate. So this is this is where you either
sharpen things up around this point because a couple of
weeks from now will be down on the stretch we come.
(16:14):
So it's heading into week eight of the NFL season,
so there's no midway point. Midway point would be week
eight and a half. Once we get down to week eleven,
week twelve, that's when it gets really really good. And
so you're either going to sharpen the sword or you're
gonna get exposed either one. And so we'll find out
our final point to the broadcast world. We go the
(16:37):
broadcast world. Now we may have seen the very last,
the end of the road for the concurrent Monday night
football doubleheaders on a BC and that small cable channel
out of Bristol, Connecticut. The reason I bring that up
the head honcho of NFL Media. How much do you
think that guy gets paid? The person that runs NFL
(16:59):
media recently acknowledged that the experiment of airing concurrent Monday
night football games has quote not delivered yet. What does
that mean, Well, let's address it. Let's get into it,
the question should the NFL dump the concurrent Monday night
(17:21):
football game? All right? So what this means is they're
not getting the large audience they thought they were going
to get. They assumed the position that they were going
to get a large audience out here's the deal. To
answer the question, though, the formal question of should the
NFL dump the concurrent NFL Monday Night games? Yeah, is
(17:43):
the sun up during the day. Is the stars in
the sky at night? You said, Well, the stars are
in the sky during the day too, we just don't
see him. But the point is, you see him at night,
assuming it's not overcast and gloomy and cloudy and all that.
You see him Monday night football see And this is like,
I guess it's an old guy take. I think it's
the right take, and normally I want more, I don't
(18:04):
want less. But when I grew up, it was a
spec like I'm so old. We didn't have Sunday night football.
We did not have Thursday night football. It was like
a special thing. Monday night football was a big deal.
And I obviously the Island game and all that stuff,
but it was a night where the entire football world
locked in, like you planned the whole thing, you watched it.
(18:27):
It was a communal experience, much like these games are.
But it's just not the same and it can't be
fully communal when you have two games that are overlapping
in the second half of the A game and then
the first half of the B game, so you end
up not watching parts of both games. It just it
And so I look at it this way. Right, it's
(18:47):
a Frankenstein experiment. The NFL, and as actually talking to
the great Steve de Seger, who's been sleeping for five
five hours, even though you hear his voice all night.
But I saw him earlier when I was coming in here,
and we were talking talking about how the NFL now
they're so desperate to get even more money that they
have to cannibalize the games and they have to chop
(19:09):
them up, and they need as many they call them
windows TV windows to sell. They're already preparing for the
next TV contract. They're like, Okay, we're gonna play every Christmas.
That's a standalone package. We can sell that to Netflix
or whoever. We've got the Sunday, the Thursday, the Monday,
but if we can have an extra window on Monday,
we can do that. Do I hear anyone for a Tuesday?
(19:30):
Can we get a Tuesday? Well, that's usually the day
off for the players. We can make more money. We'll
have them play on Tuesday. How about Tuesday. We can't
play on Friday because the people get upset this high
school football Friday. But maybe part of the year we
could we can sell a mini package. We could sell
that on Friday. So they're trying to chop it up,
and it's cannibalizing the NFL schedule to make as much money.
We'll have every team play an international game. We'll sell
(19:51):
that to the BBC, we'll sell that to the different
national cable channels in the different parts of the country
or world for that matter. And we're on our way,
all right. And so you've got two games at once.
It's all overlapping. It's split windows, it's split attention. I
don't like it. It's to me, it's it's brutal. And
this has proven also based on the early results. They've
(20:13):
been doing this for a couple of years, it has
been proven that it's not working. It's too much. It's
not what people want. You spend all day. Most people
work the day shift. You work the day shift. You
want com home, You want to watch one game. You
don't want to have to watch two games, and then
you end up betting parlays and you start putting multiple
bets and it's just a hot mess. It's just a
hot mess. And the other problem, this is the biggest issue.
(20:34):
You got one game that's got the juice, and then
you've got the other game that is usually forgettable, and
so it's kind of like these concurrent NFL games. It's
like going into a mom and pop diner and they say, listen,
I love you. I'm gonna give you two meals. Their
their lukewarm. So I don't really want a lukewarm meal.
(20:58):
I just want one hot meal. No, no, we've got two.
We'll give you two, and but no I want one.
Uh and so maybe there's one good one. And some
ways there's just two mediocre games. They're just is I
just want one, as the kids say, one banger. That's
all I want, and give me the main course. I
don't need this buffet stop. You know, back in my
(21:19):
younger days, I used to love buffets. Not now. So
the NFL's problem is simple. They have an issue with
trying to make more money. They have to chop the
games up and they have to cannibalize the games and
the schedule and all that stuff. And they also don't
trust their own schedule. So like if you knew you
could put a good product out every Monday, remember Thursday
(21:40):
night football sucked for years and everyone complained so much
that they put the kebash on that because they started
putting better games, on Thursday night. They also, this is
what I've heard from people around the NFL. They have
made it a point of emphasis for the players to
stop bitching about playing on Thursday night. For years it
was woe is me, Oh my god, what are they?
(22:01):
You're treating us like farm animals making us play on
Thursday night. You don't hear that hardly at all anymore
because the NFL's requested the players zip it when it
comes to that kind of stuff. So anyway, so listen
in the NFL's talking about getting rid of it. If
they can sell it, they'll keep it. That's always what
this is about. If you can sell it, if you
(22:23):
have inventory, someone's willing to pay you a lot of
money for it, you'll do it. End of story. But
I think less is more in this case. I learned
that also from iHeart University. Less is more And just
bring back the single Monday night showcase, make it mean
something again, something special, and that's it. It is the
Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to be part, there's
(22:43):

are part of a certain generation, you grew up loving
this guy back in the poster generation. Probably has poster
(23:05):
on the wall in your room and he's finally reaching
the top of the mountain after all these years. But
who is it. We'll get to that, and we will
do it next.

We'll get to that also later this hour Site to
(25:31):
Bite the Great Sports Radio Mystery, So we have that now.
One of the big names in the NFL. Unfortunately, it
appears he played his final game on Monday night. We're
talking about Mike Evans of the Buccaneers. There are reports
out in the overnight that that's it. He was carted
off the field. The team said it was a concussion
(25:53):
and a shoulder injury. That was the initial report, but
there are some reports out overnight that it appears the
injury is feared to be a season ending injury, which
will mean the Buccaneers obviously we have to play with
a bunch of secondary wide receivers, but also Jerry Rice somewhere.
I'm sure he will not celebrate this at all, but
(26:14):
Mike Evans has had one thousand plus yards in all
eleven seasons. That is tied with Jerry Rice for the
longest streak in NFL history, and it appears they will
remain tied as Mike Evans is down for the count.
And if you're of a certain age and you grew
(26:34):
up a fan of baseball in the nineteen eighties, there
were two players that were more popular than anybody. And
it depends where you lived, obviously, but Wade Bogs with
the Red Sox was very popular. And Don Maddingly and
Donnie Baseball. Because Toronto reaches the World Series. Don Maddingly
(26:55):
finally has broken through a forty two year, forty two
year World Series drought because he's coaching for the Toronto
Blue Jays and the Blue Jays are into the World
Series for the first time in thirty one years. But
Don Mattingly, Donnie Baseball, who was like mister Yankee in
(27:16):
his career and all that and uh never all even
had great players in that era with the Yankees, legends
like Dave Winfield and Ricky Henderson and Mel Hall, but
unfortunately didn't win anything. And he played in baseball from
eighty two to ninety five and has been a coach
or a manager since twenty oh three. And I was
(27:39):
around him a lot when he was with the Dodgers
and fun dude. He's in sixties now, Don Mattingly mid
sixties and so Donnie Baseball wins the Pennant gets to
the World Series for the first time and goes against
the Dodgers, must be very upset. He managed the Dodgers
before they became the Dodgers of modern times, like Don
(27:59):
matting managers, and they had good teams, but they didn't
quite have the razzle dazzle, the over the top payroll
they have. Now, all right, we have some music we love.
Listener music. Oh my god, Listener music is so good.
So Halloween, it's the Halloween season. And one of the
great talented people. And he's been so good. If you
listen to the Fifth Hour podcast, you know that Ohio
(28:20):
aw is a big part of that. He sends us
stuff and we play it every week for the mail
Bag and some other bits that we do in the
Fifth Hour podcast. So he's been great and he sends
songs in and he's part of the Mallard Plusa. Now
I've noticed a lot of you guys now only submit
songs to win an award at the maled Blues. We
used to have Rask with the band and Jay Scoop
(28:40):
and Just Josh would randomly send songs. But I hope
Jay Scoops okay. Haven't heard from Jay Scoo in a while,
hopefully he's okay. But we'd have you guys submit songs
and stuff just randomly, and we loved it. You didn't
have to wait to win an award. And so I've
stopped promoting this stuff. But Ohio al randomly decided to
send a tune in and it's a Halloween theme song
(29:01):
with the Malord branding. So let's play it. We played
it earlier, there's some technical difficulty, so let's play it again.

rhymes with Gabe. Got something that rhymes with that? That's yeah,
there's not a lot that rhymes with Gabe. Gabe the Babe. Yeah,
well that's the obvious one. But you know, he I

but Babe Ruth. It worked for Babe Ruth, the Bambino
Babe Ruth. Hmm, well get tie in Pennsylvania though. I'll
(35:16):
think about that. I think about this.

name it's tough, like we got to get to know you. Yeah,
that's true.

the game? He might never call again. There might be
that one and done and if he loses a chain,
