Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some bad poetry, some bad poetry. Wellcome in the beginning
of another hour. It's the hour four of the Ben
Maler Show podcast. And here in our number four. The
Baltimore Ravens were one of the strong contenders before the season.
They'll win the AFC. Not anymore. They lost again non
(00:21):
competitive against the Houston football team by or sell John
Harbaugh being endangered as coach of the Ravens. There are
some people so upset there like we gotta get rid
of John Harball. Also, does Raiders coach Pete Carroll need
to bench Gino Smith after another stink bomb performance by Gino?
And do you have an issue with the Saints poking
(00:45):
Giants quarterback Jackson Dart with a social media post darted
to the w Do you have a problem with that?
You're okay with it? We'll talk about that as well.
It's coming your way right now. Have a wonderful Monday.
It's the sixth day of October, and here it is
is our number four. You're a bad poet and you
(01:06):
didn't even know it. Welcome. In the beginning of another

our lead this hour is from Baltimore. I am old
(02:41):
enough to remember when the Ravens were considered a heavyweight
contender in the AFC. It was all of five weeks ago.
All of five weeks ago. But how the mighty have
fallen on hard times and now they're not happy, They're angry,
The natives are resless, the mob of angry poetry fans
(03:04):
have had enough, and some outrageous statements being made about
John Harball and bouncing around the cyberspace right now. So
if you didn't see the Ravens another non competitive performance
against a pretty mediocre Houston Texans team, you wouldn't know it.
The Texans took the Ravens to the woodshed. Baltimore is
(03:26):
now one and four. The Ravens are one and four
and gave up forty four points to Houston. Forty four points.
Holy crap. And so now the flock, that's what they
call their fans. They want heads to roll. They want
(03:46):
at the very least the defensive coordinator whacked. And there
are some calling for the dismissal of John Harball. They
want him out. He get rid of Harball. We don't
need Harbor anymore. Get rid of it, and they want
to just start the whole thing over. Say what, all right, well, anyway, listen,
(04:07):
before we get into that, before we tackle that particular issue,
let's hear from the horse's mouth. Here is John Harbaugh
commenting about just how nasty it was for the Ravens
on Sunday. Take a Liz all right.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Obviously got beating everywhere and get beat. Very disappointed with that.
Did not expect to see that. I thought we'd play
a lot better than that base and the way we practiced,
and hats off to them. They played a really good game,
made a bunch of plays, did a great job on
first down. We did not built a rhythm really throughout
the game.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
We did not.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So just a complete disappointment. And we don't have to
find a way to turn it around. Figure out who
we are this next week and then into the buy,
and after the buy, we're gonna have more than half
the season left and we're gonna have to find ourselves.
So that's what our aim will be going forward.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
All right, So let us discuss the John Harball also
said that he's not planning on making any changes, like
he would announce that to the coaching staff, So question
by or Sell. As we discussed by or Sell, John
Harbaugh being in danger as coach of the Ravens and
people are that upset. They're like, we gotta do something drastic.
(05:18):
It's just not working. So I've got Orcin, Meatball, sub
and creative writing, and we will combine all of these
things together and we're gonna make the gabbaool. We're gonna
make the gobbagouls what we're going to do. So to
kick off the festivities here, John Harbaugh said, Hey, we
(05:39):
want to see we want to find out what this
team is. I think we know what this team is.
We are now five games into the season. This is
the twenty twenty five Baltimore Ravens. They're not fooling anyone.
They're a bunch of fools the way they have played here. Now,
they did have backup quarterback Cooper Rush, who somehow looked
like a passable backup quarter back with the Dallas Cowboys.
(06:01):
You would not have known that based on his performance
on Sunday with three interceptions. The pig skin was poisoned
when he went back to pass there. But in terms
of the John Harbaugh question, just calm down, don't hyperventilate.
Take a breath, Grab a paper bag. Breathe into the
paper bag. John Harbaugh is not going anywhere, nor should he.
(06:22):
And I'm always the first guy to fire a coach.
I love firing coaches. I fire coaches all the time.
Sometimes when I'm bored, I don't know what to do,
I fire a coach. I live for firing a coach.
But John Harbaugh, He's got more equity in that area
in Baltimore than the Inner Harbor itself, with the amount
(06:43):
of time he spent there, almost twenty years. The guys
won a Super Bowl. I know, so it was a
long time ago. I know, I understand that. But he
has survived multiple overhauls. Different quarterbacks have come and gone,
and the Lamar Jackson contract drama, O rama, injuries here
there and in Baltimore, all of that, and some of
(07:03):
these Raven official natos, some of these people are acting
like they've been living in Cleveland their whole lives. You're
not in Cleveland. Knock it off. As the great Late
Coach or the Ben Gals said back in the day,
Sam Wish, So you've had stability. The Ravens, with the
exception of a couple of years, have been a playoff team.
(07:26):
You're always a threat in the playoffs, and suddenly now
you lose a couple of stinkers. You're five weeks in,
and doesn't the Ravens are a terrible football team. They
don't play defense well the offense. The running game has vanished.
As the running back there, Derek Henry looks like he
has washed up. And you're not supposed to say that
part out loud, but he does. And this is like
(07:49):
the thing that the Titans were worried about when he
left Tennessee. And he had this amazing year Henry last year,
but right now not so much. And so you have
some stinkers get off to your terrible start. You have
to play your backup quarterback now, like, well, let's somebody
call a U haul and let's get all of Henry's
stuff into a box, all of hardball stuff rather than
a box, and get rid of them. So stop it.
(08:10):
It's the raw emotion, but it's not perspective, right, fire harball.
Then what are you gonna do? See if there's no
line of amazing coaches that are waiting to get jobs,
that are proven NFL coaches, a proven commodity, what you're
going to do is you're going to spin the wheel.
And when you spin the wheel of hot shot coordinators,
(08:33):
that's not exciting, that's not fun. But you need a
fresh voice. Eh, I don't know about that because it
always works out right. You get a fresh voice, and
what could possibly go wrong? And how many wins? Harbor's
got one hundred and fifty carew win? Something like that,
and you bring him in with a coordinator who's like
a good x's and o's guy and all that, and
maybe end up with a good coach like Sean McVay,
(08:56):
or maybe you end up with numbnuts there in Miami.
Who knows. Now, numbnuts can make you some good uh,
some good tea ayahuasca tea or kombucha t whatever you
want there. But if you look around, if John Harball
was whacked, if they got if the Ravens said, you
know what, the fans are right, These people are complaying.
We're gonna get rid of John Harball. If he got
(09:17):
can't the Jets would hire him before lunch. You're just
saying like they'd fire Aaron Glenn and hire him. The Titans,
the Dolphins, the bank of a bunch of teams would
be ready to get him. They're trying to win the
John Harball concert tickets, if you will. And so he's
a mad man. And right now he's in this moment,
(09:38):
it looks bad. It's the the nature of the John
Harbaugh era there in in Baltimore. You'd think this is
this is it? Like this is as bad as he
gets right now. They're gonna play better at some point here.
It's ugly, sure, However, imagine like the the overreaction, Like,
imagine you have an infestation of cockroaches, cocka wrote is
(10:00):
all over your home, and what do you do? Do
you take a wrecking ball to your house? Do you
do demo demish the entire home? Or you know, it
seems like a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Or
do you call the orcanman or some other pesticide group
and have them come out there and take care of
your problem, which is more of a temporary situation. But
(10:20):
it's a temporary problem. And so that's it. And so
Baltimore pretty damn good for the most part, pretty damn good.
And I've just determined over these let's like how many
times I fired Tomlin in Pittsburgh. He's not going anywhere either,
So forget about it. This is the ero where these
guys stay forever. Aaron Boone and baseball Yankees are going
(10:40):
to lose the Toronto Aaron Boone will keep the job.
Dave Roberts with the Dodgers, He'll stick around no matter what.
These guys just have lifetime employment. They're like tenured professors,
some of these cats in sports. And so you know,
you will see what rock bottom is? Is this rock bottom?
Is it going to get worse? For the Baltimore Ravens,
John Harbus was the only adult in the room. Well
(11:02):
that's not working out so well right now. All right. Meanwhile, furthermore,
you want bad. Speaking of adults in the room, let's
go to Indianapolis, where the top team in the American
Football covers. Not the Bills, not the Chiefs, not the
team we just talked about, the Ravens. Indianapolis is number one.
They're the number number one seed in the AFC right now,
(11:24):
forty nine ers are number one in the NFC. I
know it's only five games, but the Raiders went out
and I seem I assume they practice. You wouldn't know
it by their performance. The Colts feasted on the Raiders,
Jonathan Taylor, he's our running back, three touchdowns, Daniel Jones,
Danny Dimes had two touchdown passes, and Indianapolis picked up
(11:47):
a forty to six laugher forty to six laugher over
the once proud franchise that is now known as Losers
in Las Vegas. Gino Smith had two more interceptions, a
horrific performance all the way around now that has led
to many calls for him to be demoted a loss
(12:11):
in rank. So the question does Raiders coach Pete Carroll
need to bench Gino Smith? Does that need to happen?
The Raiders off to the miserable start and nodding my
head yes on this, I'm nodding my head. Yes. Gino
(12:32):
Smith is the guy we thought he would be. And
if you want to crown him, you can crown his ass.
And if you want to bench him, you can bench
him at as well. He was a middling quarterback. The
only reason he got a chance to start Seattle is
because they had nobody else that got rid of Russell
(12:53):
Wilson sent him to Denver, and he wasn't very good
with Seattle, put up some empty stats, low information fans
got all horny four and the fact that the Raiders
are so stupid that they thought, well, Seattle wants to
trade Gino Smith when there's a supply chain shortage of
quarterbacks and they wanted Sam Darnold instead of Geno Smith,
(13:14):
and the Raiders are like, all right, we'll trade for
Gino Smith. Why not? What could possibly go wrong? Well, anyway,
here's Geno Smith, in his own words, pointing out that
despite being the worst quarterback in professional football and looking
like he had never picked up a football before, and
he'd be better off throwing a Candalope, here is Gino
saying he's not worried.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I'm never discouraged. I think you guys know that about me.
I don't have I don't have it in my body
flyer down or feel bad or feel sad. I don't
have no pity in me. I'm gonna grind it out
and I'm gonna figure it out. That's just how I am.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Again.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
If it's if something don't look right out there, put
it on me. Offense, defense, special teams. If it ain't
looking right, it's on me.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
So well, there you have Pete Carroll, That Pete Carroll,
the ultimate culture guy. All we like Pete. Pete's been
around forever and all that stuff. He's the oldest coach
in the NFL. Big culture guy, locker room guy, right, raw,
ra rebuild guy. Believe in the team, I believe in
the players. And so he is providing on a weekly basis.
(14:17):
He's like the person running a pot luck. It's the
football version of a sloppy potluck dinner. And everyone on
the team brought something different. Nothing's coordinated. There's like seven
dishes of mac and cheese, there's three dishes of mashed potatoes,
and there's no main course. They're lacking the main course.
(14:39):
Remember all I talk about the Raiders rookie running back
from Boise State, and now he changed his stance and
he was like the world on fire. Had that work out? Anyway,
here's a Pete Carroll, good old Pete, good old Pete there,
who's a little worn down by all the losing. Take
a listen.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
It's gonna start sometime and then we're just waiting for
that moment we kick it in. We have the answers,
we make the right choices, and we make the right plays,
the right calls. It's on us, all of us. It's
not on the players. It's on all of us to
get that right. Myself totally included in all of that.
And and then then we go. And that's how I've
always seen it, and I thought it would be last week.
(15:18):
I went home. I thought, I thought that we go
on the road and we're gonna get done this week,
and I'm gonna keep thinking that way. I told them,
I'm gonna keep believing, and I hope that you guys
will do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, okay, did he want to beat writers to believe
in the Raiders? He was talking to a room of
beat writers. Does he want to Is that how the
Raider media is? They're like all in the tank and
all that. Well, the Raiders mentioned like they're just a
disjointed team and all that stuff, And this is what happened.
You tried to reheat. You try to recreate the not
the Legion of Boom. You tried to recreate what happened
(15:51):
after the Legion of Boom. Not even the Legion of Bom.
You're like, well, let's get that. What the era after
that in Seattle? How's that working out? You just put
in the microwave, try to eat it up, and didn't
go so well. And and Gino the one thing everyone's, oh,
he's a veteran. You know, you know you don't want
to play a young quarterback because of those rookie mistakes.
Geno Smith is but making mistakes. He's just veteran mistakes,
(16:12):
not rookie mistakes. No, no, he's made no rookie mistakes.
These are seasoned veteran f ups by Gino Smith. The
whole operation looks like they went down to home depot
and they're like, let's let's do a di I y thing.
We'll do it yourself, and we'll go to the kiosk,
and we'll just do it right at the kiosk. That's it.
The Raiders offense is a mess. They're undisciplined, they're appeared
(16:33):
to apparently poorly coached, despite having a very expensive coaching staff.
You know, you look at them and it's like it's
like a meatball sub that's not made properly right, and
it's just it's just a mess. It's just a hot mess.
And and and they're their roster, which not a great roster,
(16:54):
but you can coach up a roster like I'm a
believer that you you're not gonna win a super Bowl.
But you can be competitive and well coached team is
in games and you can overcome a talent deficit. You
can't but that with a Raider. You just get heartburned.
Marinara sauce everywhere, you get heartburn all that stuff. Gino Smith,
he is not struggling at this point. He is radioactive, man.
(17:17):
He's what he is. He's radioactive. It's you set the
Geiger Counter and it's click click click click, contaminated surface,
contaminated service, click click, click clicklick. It's it's yeah, and
Carol Pete Carroll knows what's going on. He knows it,
you know, he's One of the quotes he said after
the game is that we need more reps. That was
(17:37):
a quote that went by. We need more reps. We
need to practice more, is what he said. So I
think Gino Smith is like thirty four years old. He
needs more practice at this point? Is that really the
solution to the Raiders' problems? You get more practice, not
a game, not a game, God forbid. He's actually good
in games. Practice. Worried about to practice there? And what
(18:01):
is groundhog The offense is like Groundhog Day, same blown
protections by the offensive line, same shabby passes, almost said
a bad word by Geno Smith, bad body language by
all involved, pouting in the whole thing, having a conniption fit.
But it's about learning. It's all about learning, right, Yeah, okay,
(18:22):
how about some accountability. But like, wait a minute here,
either you play a clean game or we'll go get
some guys from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who would like
to play. Now. I was asked somewhat recently whether or
not to bench Gino Smith, and I pointed out, and
I do believe this, that Gino's got job security because
his backup quarterback is Kenny Pickett. Now, Kenny Pickett in
(18:45):
Polish means can't play quarterback, and Kenny Pickett is the
backup option. However, Gino is so bad. How bad is he?
He's so bad that I would revisit that, I would
circle back to that. And even though Kenny Pickett is
not it's not like he's some great mystery box. You
know what you're gonna get with Kenny Pickett, He's not
(19:06):
an upgrade. If Kenny Pickett plays well, it's a lateral move.
That's it. It's a lateral move. And the real story
that nobody's really talking about here is Tom Brady, and
Tom Brady and his skinny jeans, his fingerprints are all
over this mess with the Raiders. He is as bad
(19:28):
an executive as Michael Jordan was in the NBA. And
nobody wants to have that conversation. They're not ready for
it because he's Football Royalties tom Brady. But my god,
has he done a terrible job with the Raiders. Remember
he wanted Matthew Stafford. He whined in nine Stafford took
him to Montana, please Matthew Stafford, come save the Raiders,
(19:50):
and Stafford said, I'd rather stay with the Rams. I
don't want to leave. He then settled for Geno Smith,
and then the coach he wanted was Ben Johnson, who's
with the Bears, and instead he ended up getting Pete
Carroll because he had to have a coach. And you
look at these two together, man, it's like saying, I'd
(20:11):
like to date Sydney Sweeney, but instead of dating, let's
get a poster. We'll just get a poster and that's it.
That'll be all that you do. And Tom Brady is
the de facto GM, He's the GM by proxy with
the Raiders. And he's right now, likely drinking somewhere in
Beverly Hills twenty five glasses of water with electrolytes and
(20:31):
trying to get this out of his system. It's a
real quagmar.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
It is.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Genus Smith's not the answer, Kenny Picket's not the answer.
Pete Carroll doesn't appear to be the answer. And there's
only so many slogans you can have, all right, quick light,
last thing, we go to New Orleans, We go to
Owns where the Saints go marching into the wind column
and as New York rookie quarterback Jackson Dart, the hero
of the big Apple they'd found there forever quarterback. We
(20:56):
heard that last week Jackson Dart went out there and
screwed up untouched while scrambling your midfield. One of the
key plays in this game. In the third quarter, part
of offensive and neptitude. It was so bad the Giants
looked like the Raiders on offense as it was ugly
the offense with the Giants had turnovers on five consecutive
(21:20):
series turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover that span from late
in the first half till midway in the fourth quarter.
Midway in the fourth quarter and Jackson Dart responsible for
three of those booboos, following up the unforced fumble with
back to back interceptions by a very middling New Orleans
(21:44):
Saints defense and that was it. So postgame, the internet
of course lost its mind. Oh my god, what are
you doing here? Because the Saints social media admin posted
the Saints they dropped darted to the W on social
media and people complaining, Oh, that's too mean. You're supposed
(22:05):
to be a pro outfit. What are you doing? You're
the Saints? What's wrong with you? So the question is this,
do you have an issue with the New Orleans Saints
social media team poking Giants quarterback Jackson Dart with Darted
to the W on social media? Again? This is one
of those stories I roll my eyes at. I'm like,
(22:26):
does anyone really have a problem with this? Like I
saw this and I'm like, seriously, like, what are we
doing here? Spare me? I loved it. I thought it
was hilarious and it's football. It's not You're not spending
the afternoon at Buckingham Palace. That's it. All's fair love,
war and all that. This is harmless. You beat the
guy who wanted to shove it down your throat. That's
(22:49):
what you did, right. He's the guy that was Jackson
Dart this week said I gotta chip on my shoulder
because you didn't draft me and went to college at
Old Miss, wanted to play for the Saints. And so
you knock the chip off the shoulder there and that's it.
You just say, hey, we beat you. There, you go
knock it out. And it's not cruelty. It's creative writing.
(23:11):
That's what it created, right, And the Saints did not
call Jackson's Dart, Jackson Dart's mom ugly or a goof
on his dad or rip his girlfriend or anything like that.
And it's like, if you're really upset about that, like
you're softer than instant grits if you're complaining about that.
And now in the multiverse, you know, we believe in
(23:31):
the multiverse here that that was not cruelty. That was
creative writing is what that was. It's content, and then
we're there for it. And so I was fine with it.
But in the multiverse, in a parallel to mention, the
Giants had beaten the Saints, and the Giants win that game,
and Jackson Dart is running around the Superdome and he's
got a crown on and he's like, look at me.
(23:53):
He's taking selfies like a zoolander. And instead, of course,
he melted like a cheap candle and he just fell apart.
The first half, he had one hundred and twenty seven
passer rating. In the second half he crashed at thirty five.
And so it's not you soccer, AT's the NFL. We
know all this stuff works. And so anyway, he got darted.
(24:14):
I thought it was funny, It was hilarious, and there
you go, got a lot of clicks emotion. I'm all
there for it. Why not? And we move on. It
is the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to be
part of it eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox

and we will do it next.

Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Maler Show
up all night, every single night. You got that YouTube channel,
a couple of YouTube channels for you to check out
support the show that way, I figure if I keep
asking you, eventually you'll actually do it. Yeah, I know.
I'll just keep pestering you until you do it, and
then once you do it, then I'll stop pestering you.
(25:47):
But until you actually subscribe to these YouTube channels, I'm
gonna pester you. She just do it, and I'll stop
pestering you. Yeah, I know the channels are. If you
want Ben Maler's show content, then you got to go
to the Ben Maller Show page on YouTube. It's that simple. Yeah,
at Ben Mahler Show. If you want Benny Versus the Penny,
(26:10):
and we have new episodes every week during the NFL
season there at Benny Vspenny. Subscribe to both channels, post
some comments on there, what you like, which you don't like,
you interact with other fans of the show, and now
back to it. Back to it we go. Coming up
later this hour, we do have the Mallard Militia feud
(26:33):
and the viral moment from last night's Patriots Bills game.
Not that the Patriots winning wasn't kind of cool, but
we had Josh Allen throwing a pass that was caught
by a Bills fan and in the back of the kind
of side of the end zone. There, Oh cool and
yeah yeah, so the fan was very excited. So what
(26:54):
do you think the fan did, Lorena that I don't
if you saw the game or not, I did not.
This will be a valid guest. Okay, good, So fan
catches a pass from Josh Allen. What do you think
the fan did? Do you think he a smiled for
the cameras. You think b he tossed the ball back
to Josh Allen playing catch with his favorite quarterback because
he's part of Bill's mafia, or see none of the above.
(27:18):
What do you think I'm gonna go with? B Ben?
Do you think he tossed the ball back to Josh Allen?
Speaker 9 (27:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, It turns out the Buffalo Bill fan decided at
that very moment to take the football and run up
the bleachers to leave the stadium with the souvenir. I
guess he was worried. Mike Jeriko did play by play
on it, which is really stealing Kevin Harlan's act. Isn't
that what Kevin Harland does, Our buddy Kevin Harlan, That's
what he does. But Tariico did the play by play.
(27:44):
As the guy ran up the stand, he probably thought
the ball boys were going to say, I need the
ball back, but he's like, this is mine, yeah, and
nobody stopped him. He just like ran up and says
that's it, I'm out of here. That's what I read
that that normally they would come and take the ball. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
so hey, if you want to keep the ball, just
run away and he was so quick. Nobody that was it.
(28:04):
Nobody bothered him now and he missed the touchdown Like
on the next you rather have the ball, tho, wouldn't
you come on you obviously there's there's screens in the
in the concourse or whatever. You can watch that later. Yeah, yeah,
you can go back and watch that football. To keep
your balls, that's uh. You gotta hold on to your balls.
You gotta really massage the ball. That ball is going
to be in that family for years, right if he
(28:25):
assuming he made it out of the stadium, that guy, Yeah,
that's a family heirloom. If you're a Bills fan, that
you got to pass from Josh Allen and and the
play by play by Tarico was not it was not bad.
Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to uh
Mark is on the north end as the Patriots are back.
Oh my god, the Patriots are back. Tell all Mark?
(28:46):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (28:47):
You living morning?
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Ben?
Speaker 9 (28:48):
After my call, I do want to hold for us
the few, but I do want to say I think
the Buffalo Bills and the rest of the NFL will
put on notice last night that Drake May has arrived.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You made that determination that Drake May rock because the
Buffalo Bill's very generous in the first half. That had
nothing to do with Drake May, though you admit that right,
that the Bill's generosity in the first half.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Both teams stuck in the first half. In fact, I
called it the Pumble Bowl last night, so that didn't
have a lot to play in it. But that second half,
the kid was clutched. He didn't he didn't get nervous,
he didn't get scared in that last play to Stefan
Diggs as he was falling down.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
That was freaking amazing.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Well, and we pointed this. I did a monologue earlier.
You probably were sleeping or whatever, but I did a
model and I pointed out, like this is obviously this
is the signature win for Drake May because he had
no signature wins mark, He had no signature. He was
zero and seven against teams that had a winning record.
So this is a big time win. Yes, what what
(29:53):
was form?
Speaker 9 (29:54):
And of Buffalo's favored to win the Super Bowl and
they went in their house and punched him in the mouth.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, no, I know, listen, I don't want to I said,
I want to ran on your parade. I kind of
do it. I'm a talk shows. I could also point
out the Ravens gag that game with the Bills in
Week one, the Jets didn't show up in Week two,
the Dolphins had a chance to win the game in
Week three, and the Saints. The Bills didn't cover the
spread against the Saints. So it's not like they were
playing great. But you won the game, congratulations. And you
(30:22):
look at the schedule and there's a lot of cupcakes.
The Patriots are capable of losing. We said this earlier,
but they're capable of losing any of these teams. But
they will be favored. I would think they play the Saints,
the Titans, and the Browns up next. That is poop,
not murderers, Bro, that's poop, Bro, that is poopy, poopy,
poopy poopy.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
You do make a good point, then, but you know
what that could possibly actually it probably make them get
the playoffs at least a wild cut anyway, But I do.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Have a question, Well, they would be in the playoffs
right now. They would be a playoff team right now
if the season ended, maybe the seventh seed in the AFC.
Speaker 9 (30:58):
Yeah, these running backs that can't hold on to the
damn football.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Well, you're you're asking me. I'm a Rams fan. I
got I got fumblelis my guys every year. It's a
disease in the NFL. It's terrible. By the way, Patriots
are favored on DraftKings by three and a half against
the Saints, three and a half point road favorite for
the for the Patriots. Yeah, all right, Mary, I'll put
(31:24):
you back on all you want to be on. Hold
up of John. Let's go through Zultan. Who's in Florida? Hello, Sultan?
I said, I say, Zultan, what's going on? Zultan? Ah
like the thing at the the the the No, that's
that's zaltar oultans from Jude. Where's my car?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Okay, a Zultan? Welcome Zultan?
Speaker 11 (31:42):
How you doing?
Speaker 12 (31:43):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
If I was any better, I'd be a giant, but
not Jackson Dart.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was hilarious what they were writing.
I love how social media teams get a little funty sometimes,
and you know, it just drives me crazy. That's overly
sensitive PC attitude, you know. I mean, if they're so sensitive,
(32:11):
then why not just start giving out Super Bowl trophies
and as participation trophy.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No, I know, I agree with you, so spear up
Sex because the Saints sent out a little shot at
Jackson Dark. But Jackson Dart was the guy that said
I wanted to be I have a chip on my shoulder,
I'm upset the Saints didn't draft me, and so he
was the one that kind of got the thing rolling,
and then the Saints had.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Something yet finished.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, I don't have a most normal people and most
I don't. I think the internet's all the matrix anyway,
it's all bull crap. So yeah, that's my position, all right,
But well, thank you, Sultan. You've called it. We've now
I'm now spoken to Sultan. I know. Let's say hello
(32:54):
to uh, let's see Marcel is in Brooklyn. Hello Marcel.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
If I was any better on I say, than New
York Giants, New York Jets, the Buffalo Bills, and New
York Yankees are lost now. The whole state is full
of Droughtso be good morning. You have good morning, Ben Lorena.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Do you have everyone else a prayer for the Jets?
They're oh and five Marcea.

Yes, one in three giants yesterday when the Giants not
go marching in it's all about those stupid Saints.

Yes, Coop's excited his Broncos one. He's very happy about that.
He's in a good mood.
Speaker 9 (33:35):
Cool.

Speaking of the Broncos, how was the Koopie loop? Tell
me your score before I have the food picks?
Speaker 1 (33:42):

Oh? No, wrongbird good Eagles, good knowledge there.
Speaker 12 (33:54):
Eagles die. Eagles died.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, I can't believe it.
Speaker 12 (34:03):
How was those rocals nations?
Speaker 10 (34:06):
So far?
Speaker 12 (34:07):
I can't see it? Or should I say not to?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Oh, that's right, we're believers doing doing doing lines of boucane.
You could say that again, my friend, have you ever
done bocane bocaine? No, you've never done that.
Speaker 12 (34:24):
I don't think so. It's just a game for kids,
not for teens.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I think something like that. I think, Yeah. How about
the fact, by the way, bo Nicks fun fact for
your Coop Bonicks. Yeah, fun bo Nicks had fifty two
percent of his passing yards in the fourth quarter of
that game. Fifty two point four percent of his passing
(34:51):
yards game in the fourth that's right, nine of ten
in the fourth quarter. You seem very impressed by that, Marcel.
Speaker 12 (35:00):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Hurry up, let's do it quite right, food pakes. I
think you had last night oodles for noodles for the
late night by all right, Lorena, I think you had
breakfast for dinner.

Some bad poetry, some bad poetry. Wellcome in the beginning
of another hour. It's the hour four of the Ben
Maler Show podcast. And here in our number four. The
Baltimore Ravens were one of the strong contenders before the season.
They'll win the AFC. Not anymore. They lost again non
(00:21):
competitive against the Houston football team by or sell John
Harbaugh being endangered as coach of the Ravens. There are
some people so upset there like we gotta get rid
of John Harball. Also, does Raiders coach Pete Carroll need
to bench Gino Smith after another stink bomb performance by Gino?
And do you have an issue with the Saints poking
(00:45):
Giants quarterback Jackson Dart with a social media post darted
to the w Do you have a problem with that?
You're okay with it? We'll talk about that as well.
It's coming your way right now. Have a wonderful Monday.
It's the sixth day of October, and here it is
is our number four. You're a bad poet and you

our lead this hour is from Baltimore. I am old
(02:41):
enough to remember when the Ravens were considered a heavyweight
contender in the AFC. It was all of five weeks ago.
All of five weeks ago. But how the mighty have
fallen on hard times and now they're not happy, They're angry,
The natives are resless, the mob of angry poetry fans
(03:04):
have had enough, and some outrageous statements being made about
John Harball and bouncing around the cyberspace right now. So
if you didn't see the Ravens another non competitive performance
against a pretty mediocre Houston Texans team, you wouldn't know it.
The Texans took the Ravens to the woodshed. Baltimore is
(03:26):
now one and four. The Ravens are one and four
and gave up forty four points to Houston. Forty four points.
Holy crap. And so now the flock, that's what they
call their fans. They want heads to roll. They want
(03:46):
at the very least the defensive coordinator whacked. And there
are some calling for the dismissal of John Harball. They
want him out. He get rid of Harball. We don't
need Harbor anymore. Get rid of it, and they want
to just start the whole thing over. Say what, all right, well, anyway, listen,
(04:07):
before we get into that, before we tackle that particular issue,
let's hear from the horse's mouth. Here is John Harbaugh
commenting about just how nasty it was for the Ravens
on Sunday. Take a Liz all right.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Obviously got beating everywhere and get beat. Very disappointed with that.
Did not expect to see that. I thought we'd play
a lot better than that base and the way we practiced,
and hats off to them. They played a really good game,
made a bunch of plays, did a great job on
first down. We did not built a rhythm really throughout
the game.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
We did not.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So just a complete disappointment. And we don't have to
find a way to turn it around. Figure out who
we are this next week and then into the buy,
and after the buy, we're gonna have more than half
the season left and we're gonna have to find ourselves.
So that's what our aim will be going forward.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
All right, So let us discuss the John Harball also
said that he's not planning on making any changes, like
he would announce that to the coaching staff, So question
by or Sell. As we discussed by or Sell, John
Harbaugh being in danger as coach of the Ravens and
people are that upset. They're like, we gotta do something drastic.
(05:18):
It's just not working. So I've got Orcin, Meatball, sub
and creative writing, and we will combine all of these
things together and we're gonna make the gabbaool. We're gonna
make the gobbagouls what we're going to do. So to
kick off the festivities here, John Harbaugh said, Hey, we
(05:39):
want to see we want to find out what this
team is. I think we know what this team is.
We are now five games into the season. This is
the twenty twenty five Baltimore Ravens. They're not fooling anyone.
They're a bunch of fools the way they have played here. Now,
they did have backup quarterback Cooper Rush, who somehow looked
like a passable backup quarter back with the Dallas Cowboys.
(06:01):
You would not have known that based on his performance
on Sunday with three interceptions. The pig skin was poisoned
when he went back to pass there. But in terms
of the John Harbaugh question, just calm down, don't hyperventilate.
Take a breath, Grab a paper bag. Breathe into the
paper bag. John Harbaugh is not going anywhere, nor should he.
(06:22):
And I'm always the first guy to fire a coach.
I love firing coaches. I fire coaches all the time.
Sometimes when I'm bored, I don't know what to do,
I fire a coach. I live for firing a coach.
But John Harbaugh, He's got more equity in that area
in Baltimore than the Inner Harbor itself, with the amount
(06:43):
of time he spent there, almost twenty years. The guys
won a Super Bowl. I know, so it was a
long time ago. I know, I understand that. But he
has survived multiple overhauls. Different quarterbacks have come and gone,
and the Lamar Jackson contract drama, O rama, injuries here
there and in Baltimore, all of that, and some of
(07:03):
these Raven official natos, some of these people are acting
like they've been living in Cleveland their whole lives. You're
not in Cleveland. Knock it off. As the great Late
Coach or the Ben Gals said back in the day,
Sam Wish, So you've had stability. The Ravens, with the
exception of a couple of years, have been a playoff team.
(07:26):
You're always a threat in the playoffs, and suddenly now
you lose a couple of stinkers. You're five weeks in,
and doesn't the Ravens are a terrible football team. They
don't play defense well the offense. The running game has vanished.
As the running back there, Derek Henry looks like he
has washed up. And you're not supposed to say that
part out loud, but he does. And this is like
(07:49):
the thing that the Titans were worried about when he
left Tennessee. And he had this amazing year Henry last year,
but right now not so much. And so you have
some stinkers get off to your terrible start. You have
to play your backup quarterback now, like, well, let's somebody
call a U haul and let's get all of Henry's
stuff into a box, all of hardball stuff rather than
a box, and get rid of them. So stop it.
(08:10):
It's the raw emotion, but it's not perspective, right, fire harball.
Then what are you gonna do? See if there's no
line of amazing coaches that are waiting to get jobs,
that are proven NFL coaches, a proven commodity, what you're
going to do is you're going to spin the wheel.
And when you spin the wheel of hot shot coordinators,
(08:33):
that's not exciting, that's not fun. But you need a
fresh voice. Eh, I don't know about that because it
always works out right. You get a fresh voice, and
what could possibly go wrong? And how many wins? Harbor's
got one hundred and fifty carew win? Something like that,
and you bring him in with a coordinator who's like
a good x's and o's guy and all that, and
maybe end up with a good coach like Sean McVay,
(08:56):
or maybe you end up with numbnuts there in Miami.
Who knows. Now, numbnuts can make you some good uh,
some good tea ayahuasca tea or kombucha t whatever you
want there. But if you look around, if John Harball
was whacked, if they got if the Ravens said, you
know what, the fans are right, These people are complaying.
We're gonna get rid of John Harball. If he got
(09:17):
can't the Jets would hire him before lunch. You're just
saying like they'd fire Aaron Glenn and hire him. The Titans,
the Dolphins, the bank of a bunch of teams would
be ready to get him. They're trying to win the
John Harball concert tickets, if you will. And so he's
a mad man. And right now he's in this moment,
(09:38):
it looks bad. It's the the nature of the John
Harbaugh era there in in Baltimore. You'd think this is
this is it? Like this is as bad as he
gets right now. They're gonna play better at some point here.
It's ugly, sure, However, imagine like the the overreaction, Like,
imagine you have an infestation of cockroaches, cocka wrote is
(10:00):
all over your home, and what do you do? Do
you take a wrecking ball to your house? Do you
do demo demish the entire home? Or you know, it
seems like a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Or
do you call the orcanman or some other pesticide group
and have them come out there and take care of
your problem, which is more of a temporary situation. But
(10:20):
it's a temporary problem. And so that's it. And so
Baltimore pretty damn good for the most part, pretty damn good.
And I've just determined over these let's like how many
times I fired Tomlin in Pittsburgh. He's not going anywhere either,
So forget about it. This is the ero where these
guys stay forever. Aaron Boone and baseball Yankees are going
(10:40):
to lose the Toronto Aaron Boone will keep the job.
Dave Roberts with the Dodgers, He'll stick around no matter what.
These guys just have lifetime employment. They're like tenured professors,
some of these cats in sports. And so you know,
you will see what rock bottom is? Is this rock bottom?
Is it going to get worse? For the Baltimore Ravens,
John Harbus was the only adult in the room. Well
(11:02):
that's not working out so well right now. All right. Meanwhile, furthermore,
you want bad. Speaking of adults in the room, let's
go to Indianapolis, where the top team in the American
Football covers. Not the Bills, not the Chiefs, not the
team we just talked about, the Ravens. Indianapolis is number one.
They're the number number one seed in the AFC right now,
(11:24):
forty nine ers are number one in the NFC. I
know it's only five games, but the Raiders went out
and I seem I assume they practice. You wouldn't know
it by their performance. The Colts feasted on the Raiders,
Jonathan Taylor, he's our running back, three touchdowns, Daniel Jones,
Danny Dimes had two touchdown passes, and Indianapolis picked up
(11:47):
a forty to six laugher forty to six laugher over
the once proud franchise that is now known as Losers
in Las Vegas. Gino Smith had two more interceptions, a
horrific performance all the way around now that has led
to many calls for him to be demoted a loss
(12:11):
in rank. So the question does Raiders coach Pete Carroll
need to bench Gino Smith? Does that need to happen?
The Raiders off to the miserable start and nodding my
head yes on this, I'm nodding my head. Yes. Gino
(12:32):
Smith is the guy we thought he would be. And
if you want to crown him, you can crown his ass.
And if you want to bench him, you can bench
him at as well. He was a middling quarterback. The
only reason he got a chance to start Seattle is
because they had nobody else that got rid of Russell
(12:53):
Wilson sent him to Denver, and he wasn't very good
with Seattle, put up some empty stats, low information fans
got all horny four and the fact that the Raiders
are so stupid that they thought, well, Seattle wants to
trade Gino Smith when there's a supply chain shortage of
quarterbacks and they wanted Sam Darnold instead of Geno Smith,
(13:14):
and the Raiders are like, all right, we'll trade for
Gino Smith. Why not? What could possibly go wrong? Well, anyway,
here's Geno Smith, in his own words, pointing out that
despite being the worst quarterback in professional football and looking
like he had never picked up a football before, and
he'd be better off throwing a Candalope, here is Gino
saying he's not worried.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I'm never discouraged. I think you guys know that about me.
I don't have I don't have it in my body
flyer down or feel bad or feel sad. I don't
have no pity in me. I'm gonna grind it out
and I'm gonna figure it out. That's just how I am.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Again.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
If it's if something don't look right out there, put
it on me. Offense, defense, special teams. If it ain't
looking right, it's on me.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
So well, there you have Pete Carroll, That Pete Carroll,
the ultimate culture guy. All we like Pete. Pete's been
around forever and all that stuff. He's the oldest coach
in the NFL. Big culture guy, locker room guy, right, raw,
ra rebuild guy. Believe in the team, I believe in
the players. And so he is providing on a weekly basis.
(14:17):
He's like the person running a pot luck. It's the
football version of a sloppy potluck dinner. And everyone on
the team brought something different. Nothing's coordinated. There's like seven
dishes of mac and cheese, there's three dishes of mashed potatoes,
and there's no main course. They're lacking the main course.
(14:39):
Remember all I talk about the Raiders rookie running back
from Boise State, and now he changed his stance and
he was like the world on fire. Had that work out? Anyway,
here's a Pete Carroll, good old Pete, good old Pete there,
who's a little worn down by all the losing. Take
a listen.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
It's gonna start sometime and then we're just waiting for
that moment we kick it in. We have the answers,
we make the right choices, and we make the right plays,
the right calls. It's on us, all of us. It's
not on the players. It's on all of us to
get that right. Myself totally included in all of that.
And and then then we go. And that's how I've
always seen it, and I thought it would be last week.
(15:18):
I went home. I thought, I thought that we go
on the road and we're gonna get done this week,
and I'm gonna keep thinking that way. I told them,
I'm gonna keep believing, and I hope that you guys
will do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, okay, did he want to beat writers to believe
in the Raiders? He was talking to a room of
beat writers. Does he want to Is that how the
Raider media is? They're like all in the tank and
all that. Well, the Raiders mentioned like they're just a
disjointed team and all that stuff, And this is what happened.
You tried to reheat. You try to recreate the not
the Legion of Boom. You tried to recreate what happened
(15:51):
after the Legion of Boom. Not even the Legion of Bom.
You're like, well, let's get that. What the era after
that in Seattle? How's that working out? You just put
in the microwave, try to eat it up, and didn't
go so well. And and Gino the one thing everyone's, oh,
he's a veteran. You know, you know you don't want
to play a young quarterback because of those rookie mistakes.
Geno Smith is but making mistakes. He's just veteran mistakes,
(16:12):
not rookie mistakes. No, no, he's made no rookie mistakes.
These are seasoned veteran f ups by Gino Smith. The
whole operation looks like they went down to home depot
and they're like, let's let's do a di I y thing.
We'll do it yourself, and we'll go to the kiosk,
and we'll just do it right at the kiosk. That's it.
The Raiders offense is a mess. They're undisciplined, they're appeared
(16:33):
to apparently poorly coached, despite having a very expensive coaching staff.
You know, you look at them and it's like it's
like a meatball sub that's not made properly right, and
it's just it's just a mess. It's just a hot mess.
And and and they're their roster, which not a great roster,
(16:54):
but you can coach up a roster like I'm a
believer that you you're not gonna win a super Bowl.
But you can be competitive and well coached team is
in games and you can overcome a talent deficit. You
can't but that with a Raider. You just get heartburned.
Marinara sauce everywhere, you get heartburn all that stuff. Gino Smith,
he is not struggling at this point. He is radioactive, man.
(17:17):
He's what he is. He's radioactive. It's you set the
Geiger Counter and it's click click click click, contaminated surface,
contaminated service, click click, click clicklick. It's it's yeah, and
Carol Pete Carroll knows what's going on. He knows it,
you know, he's One of the quotes he said after
the game is that we need more reps. That was
(17:37):
a quote that went by. We need more reps. We
need to practice more, is what he said. So I
think Gino Smith is like thirty four years old. He
needs more practice at this point? Is that really the
solution to the Raiders' problems? You get more practice, not
a game, not a game, God forbid. He's actually good
in games. Practice. Worried about to practice there? And what
(18:01):
is groundhog The offense is like Groundhog Day, same blown
protections by the offensive line, same shabby passes, almost said
a bad word by Geno Smith, bad body language by
all involved, pouting in the whole thing, having a conniption fit.
But it's about learning. It's all about learning, right, Yeah, okay,
(18:22):
how about some accountability. But like, wait a minute here,
either you play a clean game or we'll go get
some guys from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who would like
to play. Now. I was asked somewhat recently whether or
not to bench Gino Smith, and I pointed out, and
I do believe this, that Gino's got job security because
his backup quarterback is Kenny Pickett. Now, Kenny Pickett in
(18:45):
Polish means can't play quarterback, and Kenny Pickett is the
backup option. However, Gino is so bad. How bad is he?
He's so bad that I would revisit that, I would
circle back to that. And even though Kenny Pickett is
not it's not like he's some great mystery box. You
know what you're gonna get with Kenny Pickett, He's not
(19:06):
an upgrade. If Kenny Pickett plays well, it's a lateral move.
That's it. It's a lateral move. And the real story
that nobody's really talking about here is Tom Brady, and
Tom Brady and his skinny jeans, his fingerprints are all
over this mess with the Raiders. He is as bad
(19:28):
an executive as Michael Jordan was in the NBA. And
nobody wants to have that conversation. They're not ready for
it because he's Football Royalties tom Brady. But my god,
has he done a terrible job with the Raiders. Remember
he wanted Matthew Stafford. He whined in nine Stafford took
him to Montana, please Matthew Stafford, come save the Raiders,
(19:50):
and Stafford said, I'd rather stay with the Rams. I
don't want to leave. He then settled for Geno Smith,
and then the coach he wanted was Ben Johnson, who's
with the Bears, and instead he ended up getting Pete
Carroll because he had to have a coach. And you
look at these two together, man, it's like saying, I'd
(20:11):
like to date Sydney Sweeney, but instead of dating, let's
get a poster. We'll just get a poster and that's it.
That'll be all that you do. And Tom Brady is
the de facto GM, He's the GM by proxy with
the Raiders. And he's right now, likely drinking somewhere in
Beverly Hills twenty five glasses of water with electrolytes and
(20:31):
trying to get this out of his system. It's a
real quagmar.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
It is.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Genus Smith's not the answer, Kenny Picket's not the answer.
Pete Carroll doesn't appear to be the answer. And there's
only so many slogans you can have, all right, quick light,
last thing, we go to New Orleans, We go to
Owns where the Saints go marching into the wind column
and as New York rookie quarterback Jackson Dart, the hero
of the big Apple they'd found there forever quarterback. We
(20:56):
heard that last week Jackson Dart went out there and
screwed up untouched while scrambling your midfield. One of the
key plays in this game. In the third quarter, part
of offensive and neptitude. It was so bad the Giants
looked like the Raiders on offense as it was ugly
the offense with the Giants had turnovers on five consecutive
(21:20):
series turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover that span from late
in the first half till midway in the fourth quarter.
Midway in the fourth quarter and Jackson Dart responsible for
three of those booboos, following up the unforced fumble with
back to back interceptions by a very middling New Orleans
(21:44):
Saints defense and that was it. So postgame, the internet
of course lost its mind. Oh my god, what are
you doing here? Because the Saints social media admin posted
the Saints they dropped darted to the W on social
media and people complaining, Oh, that's too mean. You're supposed
(22:05):
to be a pro outfit. What are you doing? You're
the Saints? What's wrong with you? So the question is this,
do you have an issue with the New Orleans Saints
social media team poking Giants quarterback Jackson Dart with Darted
to the W on social media? Again? This is one
of those stories I roll my eyes at. I'm like,
(22:26):
does anyone really have a problem with this? Like I
saw this and I'm like, seriously, like, what are we
doing here? Spare me? I loved it. I thought it
was hilarious and it's football. It's not You're not spending
the afternoon at Buckingham Palace. That's it. All's fair love,
war and all that. This is harmless. You beat the
guy who wanted to shove it down your throat. That's
(22:49):
what you did, right. He's the guy that was Jackson
Dart this week said I gotta chip on my shoulder
because you didn't draft me and went to college at
Old Miss, wanted to play for the Saints. And so
you knock the chip off the shoulder there and that's it.
You just say, hey, we beat you. There, you go
knock it out. And it's not cruelty. It's creative writing.
(23:11):
That's what it created, right, And the Saints did not
call Jackson's Dart, Jackson Dart's mom ugly or a goof
on his dad or rip his girlfriend or anything like that.
And it's like, if you're really upset about that, like
you're softer than instant grits if you're complaining about that.
And now in the multiverse, you know, we believe in
(23:31):
the multiverse here that that was not cruelty. That was
creative writing is what that was. It's content, and then
we're there for it. And so I was fine with it.
But in the multiverse, in a parallel to mention, the
Giants had beaten the Saints, and the Giants win that game,
and Jackson Dart is running around the Superdome and he's
got a crown on and he's like, look at me.
(23:53):
He's taking selfies like a zoolander. And instead, of course,
he melted like a cheap candle and he just fell apart.
The first half, he had one hundred and twenty seven
passer rating. In the second half he crashed at thirty five.
And so it's not you soccer, AT's the NFL. We
know all this stuff works. And so anyway, he got darted.
(24:14):
I thought it was funny, It was hilarious, and there
you go, got a lot of clicks emotion. I'm all
there for it. Why not? And we move on. It
is the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to be
part of it eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox

you interact with other fans of the show, and now
back to it. Back to it we go. Coming up
later this hour, we do have the Mallard Militia feud
(26:33):
and the viral moment from last night's Patriots Bills game.
Not that the Patriots winning wasn't kind of cool, but
we had Josh Allen throwing a pass that was caught
by a Bills fan and in the back of the kind
of side of the end zone. There, Oh cool and
yeah yeah, so the fan was very excited. So what
(26:54):
do you think the fan did, Lorena that I don't
if you saw the game or not, I did not.
This will be a valid guest. Okay, good, So fan
catches a pass from Josh Allen. What do you think
the fan did? Do you think he a smiled for
the cameras. You think b he tossed the ball back
to Josh Allen playing catch with his favorite quarterback because
he's part of Bill's mafia, or see none of the above.
(27:18):
What do you think I'm gonna go with? B Ben?
Do you think he tossed the ball back to Josh Allen?
Speaker 9 (27:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, It turns out the Buffalo Bill fan decided at
that very moment to take the football and run up
the bleachers to leave the stadium with the souvenir. I
guess he was worried. Mike Jeriko did play by play
on it, which is really stealing Kevin Harlan's act. Isn't
that what Kevin Harland does, Our buddy Kevin Harlan, That's
what he does. But Tariico did the play by play.
(27:44):
As the guy ran up the stand, he probably thought
the ball boys were going to say, I need the
ball back, but he's like, this is mine, yeah, and
nobody stopped him. He just like ran up and says
that's it, I'm out of here. That's what I read
that that normally they would come and take the ball. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
so hey, if you want to keep the ball, just
run away and he was so quick. Nobody that was it.
(28:04):
Nobody bothered him now and he missed the touchdown Like
on the next you rather have the ball, tho, wouldn't
you come on you obviously there's there's screens in the
in the concourse or whatever. You can watch that later. Yeah, yeah,
you can go back and watch that football. To keep
your balls, that's uh. You gotta hold on to your balls.
You gotta really massage the ball. That ball is going
to be in that family for years, right if he
(28:25):
assuming he made it out of the stadium, that guy, Yeah,
that's a family heirloom. If you're a Bills fan, that
you got to pass from Josh Allen and and the
play by play by Tarico was not it was not bad.
Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to uh
Mark is on the north end as the Patriots are back.
Oh my god, the Patriots are back. Tell all Mark?
(28:46):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (28:47):
You living morning?
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Ben?
Speaker 9 (28:48):
After my call, I do want to hold for us
the few, but I do want to say I think
the Buffalo Bills and the rest of the NFL will
put on notice last night that Drake May has arrived.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You made that determination that Drake May rock because the
Buffalo Bill's very generous in the first half. That had
nothing to do with Drake May, though you admit that right,
that the Bill's generosity in the first half.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Both teams stuck in the first half. In fact, I
called it the Pumble Bowl last night, so that didn't
have a lot to play in it. But that second half,
the kid was clutched. He didn't he didn't get nervous,
he didn't get scared in that last play to Stefan
Diggs as he was falling down.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
That was freaking amazing.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Well, and we pointed this. I did a monologue earlier.
You probably were sleeping or whatever, but I did a
model and I pointed out, like this is obviously this
is the signature win for Drake May because he had
no signature wins mark, He had no signature. He was
zero and seven against teams that had a winning record.
So this is a big time win. Yes, what what
(29:53):
was form?
Speaker 9 (29:54):
And of Buffalo's favored to win the Super Bowl and
they went in their house and punched him in the mouth.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, no, I know, listen, I don't want to I said,
I want to ran on your parade. I kind of
do it. I'm a talk shows. I could also point
out the Ravens gag that game with the Bills in
Week one, the Jets didn't show up in Week two,
the Dolphins had a chance to win the game in
Week three, and the Saints. The Bills didn't cover the
spread against the Saints. So it's not like they were
playing great. But you won the game, congratulations. And you
(30:22):
look at the schedule and there's a lot of cupcakes.
The Patriots are capable of losing. We said this earlier,
but they're capable of losing any of these teams. But
they will be favored. I would think they play the Saints,
the Titans, and the Browns up next. That is poop,
not murderers, Bro, that's poop, Bro, that is poopy, poopy,
poopy poopy.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
You do make a good point, then, but you know
what that could possibly actually it probably make them get
the playoffs at least a wild cut anyway, But I do.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Have a question, Well, they would be in the playoffs
right now. They would be a playoff team right now
if the season ended, maybe the seventh seed in the AFC.
Speaker 9 (30:58):
Yeah, these running backs that can't hold on to the
damn football.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Well, you're you're asking me. I'm a Rams fan. I
got I got fumblelis my guys every year. It's a
disease in the NFL. It's terrible. By the way, Patriots
are favored on DraftKings by three and a half against
the Saints, three and a half point road favorite for
the for the Patriots. Yeah, all right, Mary, I'll put
(31:24):
you back on all you want to be on. Hold
up of John. Let's go through Zultan. Who's in Florida? Hello, Sultan?
I said, I say, Zultan, what's going on? Zultan? Ah
like the thing at the the the the No, that's
that's zaltar oultans from Jude. Where's my car?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Okay, a Zultan? Welcome Zultan?
Speaker 11 (31:42):
How you doing?
Speaker 12 (31:43):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
If I was any better, I'd be a giant, but
not Jackson Dart.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was hilarious what they were writing.
I love how social media teams get a little funty sometimes,
and you know, it just drives me crazy. That's overly
sensitive PC attitude, you know. I mean, if they're so sensitive,
(32:11):
then why not just start giving out Super Bowl trophies
and as participation trophy.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
No, I know, I agree with you, so spear up
Sex because the Saints sent out a little shot at
Jackson Dark. But Jackson Dart was the guy that said
I wanted to be I have a chip on my shoulder,
I'm upset the Saints didn't draft me, and so he
was the one that kind of got the thing rolling,
and then the Saints had.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Something yet finished.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, I don't have a most normal people and most
I don't. I think the internet's all the matrix anyway,
it's all bull crap. So yeah, that's my position, all right,
But well, thank you, Sultan. You've called it. We've now
I'm now spoken to Sultan. I know. Let's say hello
(32:54):
to uh, let's see Marcel is in Brooklyn. Hello Marcel.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
If I was any better on I say, than New
York Giants, New York Jets, the Buffalo Bills, and New
York Yankees are lost now. The whole state is full
of Droughtso be good morning. You have good morning, Ben Lorena.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Do you have everyone else a prayer for the Jets?
They're oh and five Marcea.
Speaker 12 (33:21):
Yes, one in three giants yesterday when the Giants not
go marching in it's all about those stupid Saints.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yes, Coop's excited his Broncos one. He's very happy about that.
He's in a good mood.
Speaker 9 (33:35):
Cool.

Speaking of the Broncos, how was the Koopie loop? Tell
me your score before I have the food picks?
Speaker 1 (33:42):

one to seventeen?
Speaker 12 (33:46):
Oh by the Seahawks? I think?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Oh? No, wrongbird good Eagles, good knowledge there.
Speaker 12 (33:54):
Eagles die. Eagles died.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, I can't believe it.
Speaker 12 (34:03):
How was those rocals nations?
Speaker 10 (34:06):
So far?
Speaker 12 (34:07):
I can't see it? Or should I say not to?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Oh, that's right, we're believers doing doing doing lines of boucane.
You could say that again, my friend, have you ever
done bocane bocaine? No, you've never done that.
Speaker 12 (34:24):
I don't think so. It's just a game for kids,
not for teens.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I think something like that. I think, Yeah. How about
the fact, by the way, bo Nicks fun fact for
your Coop Bonicks. Yeah, fun bo Nicks had fifty two
percent of his passing yards in the fourth quarter of
that game. Fifty two point four percent of his passing
(34:51):
yards game in the fourth that's right, nine of ten
in the fourth quarter. You seem very impressed by that, Marcel.
Speaker 12 (35:00):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Hurry up, let's do it quite right, food pakes. I
think you had last night oodles for noodles for the
late night by all right, Lorena, I think you had
breakfast for dinner.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
