Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, hour four of
our radio program, and we take a look back at
that forty nine or Packer game at Chili Lamb bow
Field NFC Divisional playoff game, a loss for the cheese Heads.
So what are the odds that Aaron Rodgers exit stage
(00:23):
right from Green Bay. We take a look at that
and more right now in our number four here it
is a cheesy mess. Wellcome man, the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mallers Show. We are together in
the air everywhere yet again, as we avoid the cone Heads,
(00:48):
coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the
bast and mighty powerful microphones of fs are MM eighting
live from the rock aka the rock bottom of the
broadcast schedule here at the Fox Sports Radio Studios in
(01:10):
the north Woods. But we are back at it here
this hour old ball as well. We really enjoyed the weekend,
those of us that pay attention to all this nonsense
we call sports in the NFL. After a dud laying
an egg in the wild card round, the NFL with
a orgasmic kind of a weekend, and the championship games
(01:34):
are now set. We will take a look at the
point spreads. We've been navigating our way through the overnight.
We had the Buffalo Bills blow a three point lead
with thirteen seconds left, give up a bunch of chunk plays,
and then lose the game in overtime. Did even get
the ball in overtime? The Rams dominated the Buccaneers and
(01:54):
then gave the ball back to Tampa time and time
again allowed the Bucks to tie the game. Tom Brady magic.
All this nonsense about momentum, which we know is bullcrap
on this show, and the Rams proved they debunked that
there is a thing called momentum because the Bucketeers had
all of it right. They lost the game, and now
people debating about the future of Tom Brady. But the
(02:18):
Green Bay Packers freezing cheeseheads is our lead this hour.
The forty nine Ers are heading to the NFC Championship
game after going to Northern Wisconsin for a date with
the Packers on a Saturday night. I don't know if
you watch this or not, but Robbie gold booted a
forty five yard field goal as time expired, and that
(02:43):
particular kick propelled the forty nine Ers passed the factors
thirteen to ten. So if you bet the under, you
in good shape. In the NFC title game, Green Bay
special teams had an epic implosion, sick to their guts.
The second rate performance included, among other things, a blocked
(03:03):
punt return for the touchdown. The Niners offense did not
get into the end zone and they still won a
playoff game on the road, a blocked punt return for
a touchdown on the special teams. Also the high crimes
and misdemeanors happening for the Packers. They managed to only
have ten men on the field. Now, I assume you
(03:24):
know that in the NFL and all levels of football
are of grown up genre, you are allowed to have
eleven men on the field, and sometimes you get penalists
for having twelve men on the field. The Packers, you
talk about a bold strategy, Cotton, They went with ten
men on the field, which I think is a dead
giveaway that you don't know what the hell you're doing.
(03:46):
And the Niners kicked the game winning field goal. And
it's odd to me that there's a penalty for twelve
men on the field but not too few people. They
don't care if you have you don't have enough players
in the field. They only care if you have too many,
all right. So San Francisco was shut out in the
first half. They had just fifty eight yards five first
downs at halftime. Now they ended up with twelve first
(04:09):
downs in two hundred twelve yards of offense. But that
was enough because of these special teams domination, the deadweed,
dead weight. I should send special teams for Green Bay.
So the forty nine ers advanced. Good for them. They'll
play the Rams, which is It's gonna not work out
so well for the forty nine ers this weekend. But
Jimmy Garoppolo continues to live a charmed life. The better
(04:31):
story though, it's not about Jimmy Garoppolo getting back to
an NFC championship game, No no, no no, no, no, no no, no,
no no. It's all about you know who in the
losing locker room airing Rogers. Now, statistically, if you're a
stat nerd or a dweeb or an income poop Aaron Rodgers,
(04:53):
he said, well, that was not bad. His numbers were passable, right,
they weren't cover your eyes bad. However, sick The one
that matters most how many points did you score? And
that that right there is why El stinko. The Packers
had the ball ten times, they scored ten points. You
(05:16):
can do the math on that. Five punts, a blocked punt,
a fumble, and a partridge in a pear tree. Where
how seven of those drives ended? And the buzz is
all about now the future of mister Rogers neighborhood and
will that neighborhood be calling in the U haul, moving
vans and heading out of Wisconsin now. Speaking to reporters
(05:40):
after the game, Rogers said he was going to take
time to think about his future. He said, I do
not think we'd be talking about this after the game,
Rogers said, which is very similar comment to what Tom
Brady said after the Buccaneers epically failed against the Rams.
Rogers went, honestly, I'm going to take some time and
(06:01):
have conversations with the folks around here, meaning Green Bay,
and then take some time away and make a decision.
And he talked about free agency and all that stuff,
just to prove I'm not lying. Here is Aaron Rodgers
commenting on his situation. And then I think we'd be
talking about this after this game. But you know, I'm
gonna take some time and I have conversations with the
(06:22):
folks around here and then take some time away and
make a decision obviously before free agency or anything kind
of gets going on that front. It's fresh right now.
It's you know, a little shocking for sure, all right.
So there's a Rogers saying the loss is fresh and
thinking about his future and contemplating all that. Now, the
(06:43):
Packers enter the off season forty four million dollars over
the arbitrary salary cap they have. They have a bunch
of players that are going to be free agents, including
Davante Adams, Alan Lazard who was dinged up quite a
bit this year, and tied in Robert Tanyan as well
as a defensive back Kevin Kings. So they're all free agents.
(07:04):
But the big one, the big cahuna, is none other
than Aaron Rodgers. So let us discuss and we like
to give odds on this show. That's how we do
things in these parts. So you talk about the future
of number twelve in Wisconsin, the question what are the
odds that Aaron Rodgers exit screen Bay stage right? So
(07:29):
I am going to set the odds on this at
minus one ninety, which implies a sixty five percent chance
that that game on a chili Saturday night was the
end for Rogers in a Packer uniform. So I've got Menu, Star, Trek,
and Hospital Grade and those are the colonels that we
(07:53):
will pop and they will become the malamadel like not
a kickoff, much like Tom Brady, I do not I'd
expect a decision soon. I would be shocked if we
come in here on Tuesday and Rogers has said I'm
going to continue playing or I'm not going to play
for the Packers and Tom Brady as well. But this
is about Aaron Rodgers. So Rogers is going to be
(08:14):
a slow poke. He's going to be the guy on
a Sunday drive in this little story, this little ditty,
and I imagine he will milk this as long as
he can. I expect more of that classic passive aggressive
magic from number twelve. Rodgers will give everyone the silent treatment.
(08:35):
He'll speak in vague platitudes when he does talk, and
he'll toss out some backhanded compliments, but it'll also be
gloomy and moody, otherwise known as s OP standard operating procedure.
We guess he'll do one final paid interview with Pat McAfee.
Maybe he'll pop on Joe Rogan. The menu calls for
(08:58):
hot hodd sto. By the way, now, I gave you
the odds, and I said, the odds are minus one
ninety that Rodgers ends up leaving, meaning a sixty five
percent chance. But those odds are actually better. If you
had asked me a couple months back, actually six months ago,
(09:19):
I would have said the odds are worse than they
are right now. So the odds are actually getting better.
That Rogers stays with the Packers, and part of that
is the COVID backlash from the localati and very upset
with Aaron Rodgers. But the Green Bay Packers allowed Rogers
special treatment, and I believe that helped damage the chasm
(09:40):
between Rogers and the front office. Now furthermore, so what
is going to happen next? Is the question? Right? So
we're here parsing the words and all that, and listening
to Rodgers after the game and reading some of the
other quotes that Rogers did not give as much attention for.
We're trying to figure out the meaning behind of rodgers
comments and to make sense of the Gibbers. So, using
(10:04):
my trustee Star Trek cling on translator, Ring we are
ready for this. Is it true that Aaron Rodgers is
going to be shooting snarky missiles at green Bay's front
office about Davante Adams. If you want me, you gotta
bring Adams. Is it also true that if Davante Adams
is not garrantee to be in green Bay, that Rogers
(10:28):
will make a bull rush to exit stage right now?
Rogers and Adams. Remember before the year, they made a
big deal about the Last Dance and that documentary about
the Bulls back in the day, and Michael Jordan and
Scottie Pippen did not gallop out of Chicago after the
Bulls lost in the second round of the playoffs. You
(10:49):
talk about a pratfall of public humiliation, a humiliation situation.
They went out there and dropped the use and they
stared at it. They turned around, they looked at it.
Unlike Jalen Hurts of the Eagles, who said, you don't
look at it, just move on. That's all you do. Now.
Special teams, that's the story here for green Bay. Rodgers
(11:12):
and the offense not scoring enough points, only ten points,
but special teams sucking at a time you cannot suck
for green Bay and that turned out to be the
super Superstorm. No, not enough offense, offense, not good enough,
special teams not good enough. Last thing here. So Aaron Rodgers,
(11:34):
what is he going to do? He's going to use
the trusty hospital grade no contact thermometer to take the
temperature around the NFL because he wants to What are
his options? Now? You would think Rogers can hand pick
wherever he wants to go, but find out who's really
horny to bring Aaron Rodgers and you have your surrogates
(11:58):
through the dirty work. If the packers decide they do
not want to cook the books and use some funny
math on the salary cap, Okay, so what are they
gonna do? Where would the ideal landing spot be? Now
many people have said the Broncos, But do they have
enough talent to be an instant winner in a division
(12:21):
with Can's City? Who knows what's going on with the
Raiders and the charges? Do they have enough there? Can?
How about Mike Tomlin? Can Mike Tomlin twist the arm
of the Rooney family and convince them to do the
unorthodox thing and bring Aaron Rodgers to western Pennsylvania? And
(12:42):
is there also a path we had a list of
Nashville mentioned this earlier. Is there a path to Music City?
The Titans are a quarterback away from being really really
good in the playoffs. They don't have that guy is
Aaron Rodgers. That guy, well, Rogers has it been that
guy for a long time for the Packers. But you'd
(13:03):
rather run out Rogers than Ryan Tannhill. That is a
wildcard team. What about the Colts? Similar to Tennessee? Right,
Similar to Tennessee, Indianapolis has the building box. They got
a good running game, pretty good offensive line defense, that's
pretty good. Oh look, all these defensive numbers are for
(13:24):
Gayzy because Buffalo had the number one defense I believe
in the NFL, and they allowed Kansas City to run
through them with thirteen seconds left in regulation and then
in overtime. So but as far as Rogers is concerned,
it's complicated. Rogers is a future Hall of Famer who
(13:44):
had an MVP season. We believe he will win the
MVP based on his regular season play. However, he's also
going to be thirty nine years young by next postseason.
So this is a short term rental and not a
long term investment. As far as you're you're not going
to see returns ten years from now on Aaron Rodgers.
(14:07):
So who's willing to play by those rules? Who's going
to seize the opportunity if you will and bring Aaron
Rodgers in? Now we actually have some more post game sound.
Let's see who do we have here? Here's Matt Lafleur,
the head coach there in Green Bay, the benefactor, the
beneficiary of Aaron Rodgers. Rather and here is here you're
(14:30):
here the question and the answer about the future of
number twelve. What if any effect you think the ending
of this season has on your chances of having Aaron
Rodgers back next year? You know, I don't know. Dan
Um certainly we want him back here. I think we'd
be crazy not to want him back here. He's he's
going to be the two time MVP. I mean, this
(14:51):
guy is does so much for a football team, not
only what you guys see on Sundays or or every
game day, but what he does in that locker room,
how he leads you know, I just I know what
he puts into this thing. Yeah. Well, the other problem
is Matt Lafleur has been writing the Aaron Rodgers gravy train,
and he'll actually have to coach. If Rogers ends up
(15:16):
leaving and then he can be exposed, he won't be
feeling the love as in Jordan love. But wait, there's ones.
Go back to Aaron Rodgers one more time. From Aaron Rodgers. Now,
Rodgers made it clear that whatever the future holds, the
R word is not going to be part of it
for mister Rogers. You know, so many guys contracts here
(15:37):
are up or on the brink or salary cap stuff.
So a lot of decisions to be made. I don't
want to be a part of a rebuild, if you know,
if I'm going to keep playing, So a lot of decisions,
you know, in the next couple of months. All right,
So will the Packers go the extra mile? Of course,
the term rebuild is a socially acceptable term for sucking.
(15:57):
That we are going to suck, but we're gonna tell
our fans to keep buying tickets because we're rebuilding, which
is not trying to win. That is the clinical term
for that. And some people love rebuilding. They kicking enough
of it because oh they love draft picks. They get
upset at teams like the Rams who trade all the
draft picks away an hour and went away from the
(16:19):
Super Bowl. All right, it is the Ben Mahler's Show.

Where are you at Alive in the Fox Sports Radio studios,
it's Ben Maller. Lady Sideburns writes and says, there isn't
any Packer fan that didn't see this coming. The Marcedes
(18:13):
Lewis fumble in the first quarter changed the course of
the game. Well, I wasn't surprised by the outcome. I've
still been suffering from lacious indigestion since the game ended.
Wether's little debate that that was a big moment in
the game, although I would argue that there was a
lot of football left. That was the second drive. Remember
(18:35):
the Packers came out and had they got the opening kickoff,
and they went ten plays, marched down the field, matriculated
the ball down the field, sixty nine yard drive and
touchdown Dylan right up the gut, and so they had
they had the early seven nothing lead. And then on
(18:56):
the next drive they started five play drive on thirty
three yards, got inside San Francisco territory, and then the
aforementioned Mercedes Lewis with a fumble, and then after that
it was punt punt, punt, punt, punt, punt City for
the Packers. But all this talk about home field advantage
(19:18):
and this that and the other thing, and how great
are they, blah blah blah blah blah. Well that was
packer weather, right, that was perfect Green Bay packer weather,
the frozen tundra, freezing conditions and all that. And he
scored ten stinking points, ten stinking points. And keep an
(19:39):
eye that the Niners there at the health of Deebo Samuel,
who the stat line was not amazing, but he made
several big plays there late in the game for the
forty nine ers, and he was hopping off the field,
or a couple of guys, a couple of people, key
players with forty ards hopping off the field. And Jimmy
Garoppolo wins a road playoff game him he gets credited
(20:01):
with a wind. He had a passer rating of fifty
seven point one, had one hundred and thirty one yards passing.
That's it, and he's in the wind column. As they say, well,
go to the phones and let's go to Ed in Spokane, Hello, Ed, Hello, Hello.
(20:24):
I just wanted to say that, like I think they
like the media and in general, like you, Steve Naysmith,
all these guys, just give Aaron Rodgers a past. You know,
he's he's like the modern day Payton Manning. Anything, how
am I giving the pass? He's he's won a super Bowl.
We Peyton Manning. We Peyton Manning apart because he hadn't Yeah,
(20:50):
before you were born. Relax, so you're how old are
you know? Twelve? Happy birthday? Yeah, you know, it's a
long time at bit. What's going on with you? We
haven't heard from me every single year he choked, and
every special teams it's Mike McCarthy, it's every well yeah,
(21:14):
well right there, that's the that's the difference, right as
I remember. Maybe I'm wrong, but Peyton Manning I recall
with some horocious turnovers that led to the demise of
the Colts in particular, uh and also the Broncos to somebody.
But but the Aaron Rodgers, he's losing these playoff games.
But it's not necessarily because of any individual screw up
(21:37):
that he's done. Well, he could score a little bit
more points, though, don't you think, well, sure, yeah, yeah,
but he didn't. I mean, you'll get this this last
game like what rogers individually right as the quarterback. You're like, well, okay,
he didn't. He didn't have a touchdown, but he didn't.
He didn't throw an interception. He had a fumble, but
he did. They didn't lose it. So what I what
(22:00):
else is supposed to go on? You can talk to
the boys and special teams and say do a better time. Yes, yes,
he should have called the team meeting with the special teams.
That's what he should. I hear Christina laughing in the background.
There she's hanging out. Actually she's coughing. He's laughing. Now
(22:23):
now all right, well, I'm glad you're alive. Thank you.
I know you're devastating. And Cooper Coup did off. I
think he should be the MVP for the voters. Yeah, yeah,
problem is he doesn't throw the ball. That's the problem.
You got to throw the ball to win the MVP award.
He didn't throw the balls receiver, thank you, Ed. I
(22:45):
don't know time is ticking alright, so an amazing off
the field fumble from one of the big stars in
the NFL. We will get to that coming up here.
Mom will tell you. We'll take more of your calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three six nine if you'd
(23:06):
like to be part. But right now, let's gets caught
up on all that you missed. If you're just getting
your days started here early on on a Monday, Oh boy,
another week is upon us, another work week is upon us.
And the Shuttlecock of sports Talk Eddie has all the info. Yeah,
if you missed the football games on Sunday, you missed
a lot. But we're here to help you out just
(23:27):
in case that may have happened. We'll start, of course,
with the late game on Sunday in the NFC Divisional playoffs.
And that was the best of the weekend, the best
game of the weekend, Chiefs beating the Bills forty two
thirty six in overtime. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen had three
hundred twenty nine yards passing four touchdowns, all went to
wide receiver Gabriel Davis. No interceptions for Allen He also
led the Bills in rushing yards as well, but he
(23:51):
actually got trumped by Patrick Mahomes, who had three hundred
and seventy eight yards passing, three touchdowns no interceptions that
he led Kansas City and rushing as well. This one
certainly an entertaining went a whild when late down the
strategy of the two teams combined for twenty five points
in the final two minutes. Buffalo did score a touchdown
to take the league with thirteen seconds to play, but
believe it or not, that was enough time for Patrick
(24:12):
Mahomes to get Harrison Butker and field goal range. Mahomes
completing passes of nineteen and thirty one yards, then Butcker
converged from forty ten yards out on the final play
of the game. Kana City then wins the coin toss
and they never gave the ball back to the Bills.
They went eight play seventy five yards. Mahomes eight yard
touchdown passed the Titan Travis Kelsey wins it again forty
(24:32):
two thirty six. Kansa City with the win as they
advanced to the AFC Title Game. They will be hosting
the Cincinnati Bengals next week on Sunday, and they did
meet during the regular season. That was Week seventeen in Cincinnati.
The Bengals won it thirty four to thirty one. The
earlier game looked like it was going to be a
blow out. Early Rams with a twenty seven three lead.
(24:54):
They held that late in the third quarter, but then
had a couple of fumbles and missed field goal and
opened the door for Tampa Bay to come back. They
outscore LA twenty four three the rest of the way,
but those three points for the Rams came on the
final play of the game, Matt Gay thirty yard game
winning field goal for the Rams, set up by a
couple of passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford to Cooper Cup
the first one twenty yards, second one forty four yards.
(25:15):
Stafford finished with three hundred and sixty six yards passing
and three scores, two passing, one rushing as the Rams
get the thirty to twenty seven victory. So it'll be
LA hosting the San Francisco forty nine Ers in the
NFC title game. The forty nine Ers were two and
oh against the Rams this year, including a Week eighteen
meeting in LA which the forty nine one twenty seven,
twenty four and overtime to make it in to the playoffs.

four Providence beat Butler sixty nine sixty two. And now
back to Ben Matler and the Fox Sports radio studios.
We had a fan run on the field and yeah
(26:21):
and uh yeah, a guy ran out there in the
what was that the fourth quarter of the game. I'm
trying to remember when it happened. It all runs together,
but some much. It was right before they started the
drive with thirteen seconds left. I think, yeah, that sounds
about it right. I don't know. I didn't write down
the time. But this guy runs out in the field
and the Bill's wide receivers Stefon Diggs, he slammed them down.
(26:48):
He made the tag one of the one of the
Bill's offensive lineman picked that, picked off the guy's shoe
and chucked it. He threw it like a discus. I'll
bet you right now there is a law in the
Greater Kansas City area who's trying to get the number,
trying to find out who this guy that got in
trouble running out in the field is, because he's gonna
(27:09):
sue Stefawn Diggs, and he's gonna sue the Bill's lineman.
Like these lawyers, there's so many lawyers out there, there's
gotta be something like, Oh, this guy, they'll say he's
drunk or whatever. He ran out in the field and
that was assault that Stefawn Diggs assaulted him. And the
guy's gonna claim he's got some injury or something like that.
That's in my head I'm watching this, I'm like, that's
gonna be a lawsuit. That's somebody they're gonna they're gonna sue.
(27:31):
Some lawyers gonna get ahold of this guy who's gonna sue.
This is now first time this has happened though, No
I know James Harrison, I remember famously did it in
Cleveland when a fan ran on the field. These are
more lititious times though, Dy with the yeah, I believe
they are. I'm going more outgous. So remember when Odell
Beckham signed with the Rams and he made a big
deal that he was investing his money, his salary in bitcoin.
(27:56):
Remember this, he might made a big deal about it.
Remember yeah, Yeah, So now we know, as Paul Harvey,
the old radio broadcaster city rest of the story, So
Odell Beckham has been taking it in the shorts with
the Rams financially. Now he will won a lot of
a lot of social media applause for being a bold
(28:21):
you know forefather in the in the in the crypto world.
So he had his salary changed over from regular currency dollars,
you know, dead presidents in the bitcoin. And we are
told now that Odell Beckham has lost a staggering amount
(28:42):
of money because of that decision and has not worked
out in his favor, and no one's writing in the
way to go OBJ comments these days. So when when
Beckham left Cleveland he signed with the Rams, he got
a deal for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
(29:02):
he said, you know what, put it in the bitcoin.
So they put in the bitcoin. Now, at the time
that Beckham got the deal, bitcoin was worth sixty four thousand,
two hundred ninety three dollars. As of yesterday, it was
worth thirty five thousand, four hundred, So that means that
(29:24):
Odell Beckham has lost over three hundred thousand dollars on bitcoin.
But wait, there's more OBJ in the state of California
that believes in taxation without representation. California will be taxing
(29:45):
Beckham based on his salary of seven hundred and fifty thousand,
not the salary which he's actually currently worth is like
four hundred twelve thousand. So Beckham better hope that bitcoin
go to the moon. Of course, he's got other money
from his days with the Giants and whatnot, but that's
a that is a big time lost day. He's lost
(30:07):
three hundred thousand, almost three hundred fifty thousand dollars in
salary because he decided to be cool. He wanted to
be one of the cool kids and go with bitcoin.
And how's that going? How's that going? There? You go?
All right, it is the Ben Mallard Show as we
(30:28):
press on there and that's some people saying that it's
less than three hundred thousand. It's a lot of money
that he lost to the phones. We go and Marcel
in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel, Good morning, Ben, Eddie, Roberto and
Ricky in for Kupti Loup, Happy Monday, Bill's mafia lof
(30:51):
what oh wow? What a shock? Now on a scale

would be the highlight of my twenty twenty two. All right,
So moving Man Matt, if you want to help out

Hello and welcome. It's our number four, hour four of
our radio program, and we take a look back at
that forty nine or Packer game at Chili Lamb bow
Field NFC Divisional playoff game, a loss for the cheese Heads.
So what are the odds that Aaron Rodgers exit stage
(00:23):
right from Green Bay. We take a look at that
and more right now in our number four here it
is a cheesy mess. Wellcome man, the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mallers Show. We are together in
the air everywhere yet again, as we avoid the cone Heads,
(00:48):
coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the
bast and mighty powerful microphones of fs are MM eighting
live from the rock aka the rock bottom of the
broadcast schedule here at the Fox Sports Radio Studios in
(01:10):
the north Woods. But we are back at it here
this hour old ball as well. We really enjoyed the weekend,
those of us that pay attention to all this nonsense
we call sports in the NFL. After a dud laying
an egg in the wild card round, the NFL with
a orgasmic kind of a weekend, and the championship games
(01:34):
are now set. We will take a look at the
point spreads. We've been navigating our way through the overnight.
We had the Buffalo Bills blow a three point lead
with thirteen seconds left, give up a bunch of chunk plays,
and then lose the game in overtime. Did even get
the ball in overtime? The Rams dominated the Buccaneers and
(01:54):
then gave the ball back to Tampa time and time
again allowed the Bucks to tie the game. Tom Brady magic.
All this nonsense about momentum, which we know is bullcrap
on this show, and the Rams proved they debunked that
there is a thing called momentum because the Bucketeers had
all of it right. They lost the game, and now
people debating about the future of Tom Brady. But the
(02:18):
Green Bay Packers freezing cheeseheads is our lead this hour.
The forty nine Ers are heading to the NFC Championship
game after going to Northern Wisconsin for a date with
the Packers on a Saturday night. I don't know if
you watch this or not, but Robbie gold booted a
forty five yard field goal as time expired, and that
(02:43):
particular kick propelled the forty nine Ers passed the factors
thirteen to ten. So if you bet the under, you
in good shape. In the NFC title game, Green Bay
special teams had an epic implosion, sick to their guts.
The second rate performance included, among other things, a blocked
(03:03):
punt return for the touchdown. The Niners offense did not
get into the end zone and they still won a
playoff game on the road, a blocked punt return for
a touchdown on the special teams. Also the high crimes
and misdemeanors happening for the Packers. They managed to only
have ten men on the field. Now, I assume you
(03:24):
know that in the NFL and all levels of football
are of grown up genre, you are allowed to have
eleven men on the field, and sometimes you get penalists
for having twelve men on the field. The Packers, you
talk about a bold strategy, Cotton, They went with ten
men on the field, which I think is a dead
giveaway that you don't know what the hell you're doing.
(03:46):
And the Niners kicked the game winning field goal. And
it's odd to me that there's a penalty for twelve
men on the field but not too few people. They
don't care if you have you don't have enough players
in the field. They only care if you have too many,
all right. So San Francisco was shut out in the
first half. They had just fifty eight yards five first
downs at halftime. Now they ended up with twelve first
(04:09):
downs in two hundred twelve yards of offense. But that
was enough because of these special teams domination, the deadweed,
dead weight. I should send special teams for Green Bay.
So the forty nine ers advanced. Good for them. They'll
play the Rams, which is It's gonna not work out
so well for the forty nine ers this weekend. But
Jimmy Garoppolo continues to live a charmed life. The better
(04:31):
story though, it's not about Jimmy Garoppolo getting back to
an NFC championship game, No no, no no, no, no, no no, no,
no no. It's all about you know who in the
losing locker room airing Rogers. Now, statistically, if you're a
stat nerd or a dweeb or an income poop Aaron Rodgers,
(04:53):
he said, well, that was not bad. His numbers were passable, right,
they weren't cover your eyes bad. However, sick The one
that matters most how many points did you score? And
that that right there is why El stinko. The Packers
had the ball ten times, they scored ten points. You
(05:16):
can do the math on that. Five punts, a blocked punt,
a fumble, and a partridge in a pear tree. Where
how seven of those drives ended? And the buzz is
all about now the future of mister Rogers neighborhood and
will that neighborhood be calling in the U haul, moving
vans and heading out of Wisconsin now. Speaking to reporters
(05:40):
after the game, Rogers said he was going to take
time to think about his future. He said, I do
not think we'd be talking about this after the game,
Rogers said, which is very similar comment to what Tom
Brady said after the Buccaneers epically failed against the Rams.
Rogers went, honestly, I'm going to take some time and
(06:01):
have conversations with the folks around here, meaning Green Bay,
and then take some time away and make a decision.
And he talked about free agency and all that stuff,
just to prove I'm not lying. Here is Aaron Rodgers
commenting on his situation. And then I think we'd be
talking about this after this game. But you know, I'm
gonna take some time and I have conversations with the
(06:22):
folks around here and then take some time away and
make a decision obviously before free agency or anything kind
of gets going on that front. It's fresh right now.
It's you know, a little shocking for sure, all right.
So there's a Rogers saying the loss is fresh and
thinking about his future and contemplating all that. Now, the
(06:43):
Packers enter the off season forty four million dollars over
the arbitrary salary cap they have. They have a bunch
of players that are going to be free agents, including
Davante Adams, Alan Lazard who was dinged up quite a
bit this year, and tied in Robert Tanyan as well
as a defensive back Kevin Kings. So they're all free agents.
(07:04):
But the big one, the big cahuna, is none other
than Aaron Rodgers. So let us discuss and we like
to give odds on this show. That's how we do
things in these parts. So you talk about the future
of number twelve in Wisconsin, the question what are the
odds that Aaron Rodgers exit screen Bay stage right? So
(07:29):
I am going to set the odds on this at
minus one ninety, which implies a sixty five percent chance
that that game on a chili Saturday night was the
end for Rogers in a Packer uniform. So I've got Menu, Star, Trek,
and Hospital Grade and those are the colonels that we
(07:53):
will pop and they will become the malamadel like not
a kickoff, much like Tom Brady, I do not I'd
expect a decision soon. I would be shocked if we
come in here on Tuesday and Rogers has said I'm
going to continue playing or I'm not going to play
for the Packers and Tom Brady as well. But this
is about Aaron Rodgers. So Rogers is going to be
(08:14):
a slow poke. He's going to be the guy on
a Sunday drive in this little story, this little ditty,
and I imagine he will milk this as long as
he can. I expect more of that classic passive aggressive
magic from number twelve. Rodgers will give everyone the silent treatment.
(08:35):
He'll speak in vague platitudes when he does talk, and
he'll toss out some backhanded compliments, but it'll also be
gloomy and moody, otherwise known as s OP standard operating procedure.
We guess he'll do one final paid interview with Pat McAfee.
Maybe he'll pop on Joe Rogan. The menu calls for
(08:58):
hot hodd sto. By the way, now, I gave you
the odds, and I said, the odds are minus one
ninety that Rodgers ends up leaving, meaning a sixty five
percent chance. But those odds are actually better. If you
had asked me a couple months back, actually six months ago,
(09:19):
I would have said the odds are worse than they
are right now. So the odds are actually getting better.
That Rogers stays with the Packers, and part of that
is the COVID backlash from the localati and very upset
with Aaron Rodgers. But the Green Bay Packers allowed Rogers
special treatment, and I believe that helped damage the chasm
(09:40):
between Rogers and the front office. Now furthermore, so what
is going to happen next? Is the question? Right? So
we're here parsing the words and all that, and listening
to Rodgers after the game and reading some of the
other quotes that Rogers did not give as much attention for.
We're trying to figure out the meaning behind of rodgers
comments and to make sense of the Gibbers. So, using
(10:04):
my trustee Star Trek cling on translator, Ring we are
ready for this. Is it true that Aaron Rodgers is
going to be shooting snarky missiles at green Bay's front
office about Davante Adams. If you want me, you gotta
bring Adams. Is it also true that if Davante Adams
is not garrantee to be in green Bay, that Rogers
(10:28):
will make a bull rush to exit stage right now?
Rogers and Adams. Remember before the year, they made a
big deal about the Last Dance and that documentary about
the Bulls back in the day, and Michael Jordan and
Scottie Pippen did not gallop out of Chicago after the
Bulls lost in the second round of the playoffs. You
(10:49):
talk about a pratfall of public humiliation, a humiliation situation.
They went out there and dropped the use and they
stared at it. They turned around, they looked at it.
Unlike Jalen Hurts of the Eagles, who said, you don't
look at it, just move on. That's all you do. Now.
Special teams, that's the story here for green Bay. Rodgers
(11:12):
and the offense not scoring enough points, only ten points,
but special teams sucking at a time you cannot suck
for green Bay and that turned out to be the
super Superstorm. No, not enough offense, offense, not good enough,
special teams not good enough. Last thing here. So Aaron Rodgers,
(11:34):
what is he going to do? He's going to use
the trusty hospital grade no contact thermometer to take the
temperature around the NFL because he wants to What are
his options? Now? You would think Rogers can hand pick
wherever he wants to go, but find out who's really
horny to bring Aaron Rodgers and you have your surrogates
(11:58):
through the dirty work. If the packers decide they do
not want to cook the books and use some funny
math on the salary cap, Okay, so what are they
gonna do? Where would the ideal landing spot be? Now
many people have said the Broncos, But do they have
enough talent to be an instant winner in a division
(12:21):
with Can's City? Who knows what's going on with the
Raiders and the charges? Do they have enough there? Can?
How about Mike Tomlin? Can Mike Tomlin twist the arm
of the Rooney family and convince them to do the
unorthodox thing and bring Aaron Rodgers to western Pennsylvania? And
(12:42):
is there also a path we had a list of
Nashville mentioned this earlier. Is there a path to Music City?
The Titans are a quarterback away from being really really
good in the playoffs. They don't have that guy is
Aaron Rodgers. That guy, well, Rogers has it been that
guy for a long time for the Packers. But you'd
(13:03):
rather run out Rogers than Ryan Tannhill. That is a
wildcard team. What about the Colts? Similar to Tennessee? Right,
Similar to Tennessee, Indianapolis has the building box. They got
a good running game, pretty good offensive line defense, that's
pretty good. Oh look, all these defensive numbers are for
(13:24):
Gayzy because Buffalo had the number one defense I believe
in the NFL, and they allowed Kansas City to run
through them with thirteen seconds left in regulation and then
in overtime. So but as far as Rogers is concerned,
it's complicated. Rogers is a future Hall of Famer who
(13:44):
had an MVP season. We believe he will win the
MVP based on his regular season play. However, he's also
going to be thirty nine years young by next postseason.
So this is a short term rental and not a
long term investment. As far as you're you're not going
to see returns ten years from now on Aaron Rodgers.
(14:07):
So who's willing to play by those rules? Who's going
to seize the opportunity if you will and bring Aaron
Rodgers in? Now we actually have some more post game sound.
Let's see who do we have here? Here's Matt Lafleur,
the head coach there in Green Bay, the benefactor, the
beneficiary of Aaron Rodgers. Rather and here is here you're
(14:30):
here the question and the answer about the future of
number twelve. What if any effect you think the ending
of this season has on your chances of having Aaron
Rodgers back next year? You know, I don't know. Dan
Um certainly we want him back here. I think we'd
be crazy not to want him back here. He's he's
going to be the two time MVP. I mean, this
(14:51):
guy is does so much for a football team, not
only what you guys see on Sundays or or every
game day, but what he does in that locker room,
how he leads you know, I just I know what
he puts into this thing. Yeah. Well, the other problem
is Matt Lafleur has been writing the Aaron Rodgers gravy train,
and he'll actually have to coach. If Rogers ends up
(15:16):
leaving and then he can be exposed, he won't be
feeling the love as in Jordan love. But wait, there's ones.
Go back to Aaron Rodgers one more time. From Aaron Rodgers. Now,
Rodgers made it clear that whatever the future holds, the
R word is not going to be part of it
for mister Rogers. You know, so many guys contracts here
(15:37):
are up or on the brink or salary cap stuff.
So a lot of decisions to be made. I don't
want to be a part of a rebuild, if you know,
if I'm going to keep playing, So a lot of decisions,
you know, in the next couple of months. All right,
So will the Packers go the extra mile? Of course,
the term rebuild is a socially acceptable term for sucking.
(15:57):
That we are going to suck, but we're gonna tell
our fans to keep buying tickets because we're rebuilding, which
is not trying to win. That is the clinical term
for that. And some people love rebuilding. They kicking enough
of it because oh they love draft picks. They get
upset at teams like the Rams who trade all the
draft picks away an hour and went away from the
(16:19):
Super Bowl. All right, it is the Ben Mahler's Show.

(17:50):
Where are you at Alive in the Fox Sports Radio studios,
it's Ben Maller. Lady Sideburns writes and says, there isn't
any Packer fan that didn't see this coming. The Marcedes
(18:13):
Lewis fumble in the first quarter changed the course of
the game. Well, I wasn't surprised by the outcome. I've
still been suffering from lacious indigestion since the game ended.
Wether's little debate that that was a big moment in
the game, although I would argue that there was a
lot of football left. That was the second drive. Remember
(18:35):
the Packers came out and had they got the opening kickoff,
and they went ten plays, marched down the field, matriculated
the ball down the field, sixty nine yard drive and
touchdown Dylan right up the gut, and so they had
they had the early seven nothing lead. And then on
(18:56):
the next drive they started five play drive on thirty
three yards, got inside San Francisco territory, and then the
aforementioned Mercedes Lewis with a fumble, and then after that
it was punt punt, punt, punt, punt, punt City for
the Packers. But all this talk about home field advantage
(19:18):
and this that and the other thing, and how great
are they, blah blah blah blah blah. Well that was
packer weather, right, that was perfect Green Bay packer weather,
the frozen tundra, freezing conditions and all that. And he
scored ten stinking points, ten stinking points. And keep an
(19:39):
eye that the Niners there at the health of Deebo Samuel,
who the stat line was not amazing, but he made
several big plays there late in the game for the
forty nine ers, and he was hopping off the field,
or a couple of guys, a couple of people, key
players with forty ards hopping off the field. And Jimmy
Garoppolo wins a road playoff game him he gets credited
(20:01):
with a wind. He had a passer rating of fifty
seven point one, had one hundred and thirty one yards passing.
That's it, and he's in the wind column. As they say, well,
go to the phones and let's go to Ed in Spokane, Hello, Ed, Hello, Hello.
(20:24):
I just wanted to say that, like I think they
like the media and in general, like you, Steve Naysmith,
all these guys, just give Aaron Rodgers a past. You know,
he's he's like the modern day Payton Manning. Anything, how
am I giving the pass? He's he's won a super Bowl.
We Peyton Manning. We Peyton Manning apart because he hadn't Yeah,
(20:50):
before you were born. Relax, so you're how old are
you know? Twelve? Happy birthday? Yeah, you know, it's a
long time at bit. What's going on with you? We
haven't heard from me every single year he choked, and
every special teams it's Mike McCarthy, it's every well yeah,
(21:14):
well right there, that's the that's the difference, right as
I remember. Maybe I'm wrong, but Peyton Manning I recall
with some horocious turnovers that led to the demise of
the Colts in particular, uh and also the Broncos to somebody.
But but the Aaron Rodgers, he's losing these playoff games.
But it's not necessarily because of any individual screw up
(21:37):
that he's done. Well, he could score a little bit
more points, though, don't you think, well, sure, yeah, yeah,
but he didn't. I mean, you'll get this this last
game like what rogers individually right as the quarterback. You're like, well, okay,
he didn't. He didn't have a touchdown, but he didn't.
He didn't throw an interception. He had a fumble, but
he did. They didn't lose it. So what I what
(22:00):
else is supposed to go on? You can talk to
the boys and special teams and say do a better time. Yes, yes,
he should have called the team meeting with the special teams.
That's what he should. I hear Christina laughing in the background.
There she's hanging out. Actually she's coughing. He's laughing. Now
(22:23):
now all right, well, I'm glad you're alive. Thank you.
I know you're devastating. And Cooper Coup did off. I
think he should be the MVP for the voters. Yeah, yeah,
problem is he doesn't throw the ball. That's the problem.
You got to throw the ball to win the MVP award.
He didn't throw the balls receiver, thank you, Ed. I
(22:45):
don't know time is ticking alright, so an amazing off
the field fumble from one of the big stars in
the NFL. We will get to that coming up here.
Mom will tell you. We'll take more of your calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three six nine if you'd
(23:06):
like to be part. But right now, let's gets caught
up on all that you missed. If you're just getting
your days started here early on on a Monday, Oh boy,
another week is upon us, another work week is upon us.
And the Shuttlecock of sports Talk Eddie has all the info. Yeah,
if you missed the football games on Sunday, you missed
a lot. But we're here to help you out just
(23:27):
in case that may have happened. We'll start, of course,
with the late game on Sunday in the NFC Divisional playoffs.
And that was the best of the weekend, the best
game of the weekend, Chiefs beating the Bills forty two
thirty six in overtime. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen had three
hundred twenty nine yards passing four touchdowns, all went to
wide receiver Gabriel Davis. No interceptions for Allen He also
led the Bills in rushing yards as well, but he
(23:51):
actually got trumped by Patrick Mahomes, who had three hundred
and seventy eight yards passing, three touchdowns no interceptions that
he led Kansas City and rushing as well. This one
certainly an entertaining went a whild when late down the
strategy of the two teams combined for twenty five points
in the final two minutes. Buffalo did score a touchdown
to take the league with thirteen seconds to play, but
believe it or not, that was enough time for Patrick
(24:12):
Mahomes to get Harrison Butker and field goal range. Mahomes
completing passes of nineteen and thirty one yards, then Butcker
converged from forty ten yards out on the final play
of the game. Kana City then wins the coin toss
and they never gave the ball back to the Bills.
They went eight play seventy five yards. Mahomes eight yard
touchdown passed the Titan Travis Kelsey wins it again forty
(24:32):
two thirty six. Kansa City with the win as they
advanced to the AFC Title Game. They will be hosting
the Cincinnati Bengals next week on Sunday, and they did
meet during the regular season. That was Week seventeen in Cincinnati.
The Bengals won it thirty four to thirty one. The
earlier game looked like it was going to be a
blow out. Early Rams with a twenty seven three lead.
(24:54):
They held that late in the third quarter, but then
had a couple of fumbles and missed field goal and
opened the door for Tampa Bay to come back. They
outscore LA twenty four three the rest of the way,
but those three points for the Rams came on the
final play of the game, Matt Gay thirty yard game
winning field goal for the Rams, set up by a
couple of passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford to Cooper Cup
the first one twenty yards, second one forty four yards.
(25:15):
Stafford finished with three hundred and sixty six yards passing
and three scores, two passing, one rushing as the Rams
get the thirty to twenty seven victory. So it'll be
LA hosting the San Francisco forty nine Ers in the
NFC title game. The forty nine Ers were two and
oh against the Rams this year, including a Week eighteen
meeting in LA which the forty nine one twenty seven,
twenty four and overtime to make it in to the playoffs.

Slash match limitations apply. Top twenty five college basketball all
(26:00):
on Sunday. We had number three Arizona beating Cow on
the road, ninety six seventy one. Fourth ranked per Due
took care of Northwestern eighty to sixty. Number twenty Xavier
lost at Marquette seventy five sixty four. Old number twenty
four Providence beat Butler sixty nine sixty two. And now
back to Ben Matler and the Fox Sports radio studios.
We had a fan run on the field and yeah
(26:21):
and uh yeah, a guy ran out there in the
what was that the fourth quarter of the game. I'm
trying to remember when it happened. It all runs together,
but some much. It was right before they started the
drive with thirteen seconds left. I think, yeah, that sounds
about it right. I don't know. I didn't write down
the time. But this guy runs out in the field
and the Bill's wide receivers Stefon Diggs, he slammed them down.
(26:48):
He made the tag one of the one of the
Bill's offensive lineman picked that, picked off the guy's shoe
and chucked it. He threw it like a discus. I'll
bet you right now there is a law in the
Greater Kansas City area who's trying to get the number,
trying to find out who this guy that got in
trouble running out in the field is, because he's gonna
(27:09):
sue Stefawn Diggs, and he's gonna sue the Bill's lineman.
Like these lawyers, there's so many lawyers out there, there's
gotta be something like, Oh, this guy, they'll say he's
drunk or whatever. He ran out in the field and
that was assault that Stefawn Diggs assaulted him. And the
guy's gonna claim he's got some injury or something like that.
That's in my head I'm watching this, I'm like, that's
gonna be a lawsuit. That's somebody they're gonna they're gonna sue.
(27:31):
Some lawyers gonna get ahold of this guy who's gonna sue.
This is now first time this has happened though, No
I know James Harrison, I remember famously did it in
Cleveland when a fan ran on the field. These are
more lititious times though, Dy with the yeah, I believe
they are. I'm going more outgous. So remember when Odell
Beckham signed with the Rams and he made a big
deal that he was investing his money, his salary in bitcoin.
(27:56):
Remember this, he might made a big deal about it.
Remember yeah, Yeah, So now we know, as Paul Harvey,
the old radio broadcaster city rest of the story, So
Odell Beckham has been taking it in the shorts with
the Rams financially. Now he will won a lot of
a lot of social media applause for being a bold
(28:21):
you know forefather in the in the in the crypto world.
So he had his salary changed over from regular currency dollars,
you know, dead presidents in the bitcoin. And we are
told now that Odell Beckham has lost a staggering amount
(28:42):
of money because of that decision and has not worked
out in his favor, and no one's writing in the
way to go OBJ comments these days. So when when
Beckham left Cleveland he signed with the Rams, he got
a deal for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
(29:02):
he said, you know what, put it in the bitcoin.
So they put in the bitcoin. Now, at the time
that Beckham got the deal, bitcoin was worth sixty four thousand,
two hundred ninety three dollars. As of yesterday, it was
worth thirty five thousand, four hundred, So that means that
(29:24):
Odell Beckham has lost over three hundred thousand dollars on bitcoin.
But wait, there's more OBJ in the state of California
that believes in taxation without representation. California will be taxing
(29:45):
Beckham based on his salary of seven hundred and fifty thousand,
not the salary which he's actually currently worth is like
four hundred twelve thousand. So Beckham better hope that bitcoin
go to the moon. Of course, he's got other money
from his days with the Giants and whatnot, but that's
a that is a big time lost day. He's lost
(30:07):
three hundred thousand, almost three hundred fifty thousand dollars in
salary because he decided to be cool. He wanted to
be one of the cool kids and go with bitcoin.
And how's that going? How's that going? There? You go?
All right, it is the Ben Mallard Show as we
(30:28):
press on there and that's some people saying that it's
less than three hundred thousand. It's a lot of money
