Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number four. Our four is knocking at
the door. And the Philadelphia football team had won ten
games in a row and then they had an injury,
a rather big injury. We will discuss the status of
their quarterback. Also, is a time for coach Nick Sirianni
(00:24):
and the Eagle fans to to panic. We will discuss that.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Also.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
In addition, we talk about your concern level for Bill's
quarterback Josh Allen. He was injured. Also, Jalen Hurts injured
for Philadelphia. And we'll put a letter grade on Michael
Pennex Junior's first performance, his opening act for the Atlanta
football team. That and a whole lot more. Right now,
have a wonderful Monday. Here it is our number four.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Give this.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Dirty Dirty Birds.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Benmaller Show,
one after another, even on a holiday week. We are
in the air eywhere talking in a vacuum.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The whole neighborhood's listening, unless they're sleeping.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Coast to coast, boarding the border and beyond on the
beast and glinsly powerful microphones of FSR mmating live from
the Candy The candy Factory is. We are broadcasting live
from the Tyrack dot Com studios, t direct dot com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,

tract dot com. The way tirebind should be a no
KCCR Hauller has driven around ten thousand cars is more
than that over the years. But we are back at
it again as we begin this hour in our lead
from the state of Maryland where Rick morning Time, one
(02:08):
of our callers it resides, and an NFC East slobber knocker.
The game of the week. I told Danny DeVito, our
favorite bus driver from Boston.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I said, listen, this is.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
The game I like. And I put the whammy on
the Birds. I put the Wamy on the Burs. So
if you didn't see this, Jaden Daniels orchestrated a nine play,
fifty seven yard drive in the final seconds, finding Jamison
Crowder in the end zone with six seconds to play.
Despite a Washington player jumping before the snap, they didn't
(02:44):
call it and touchdown. Team that used to be called
the Redskins, and they win thirty six thirty three, the
final and that's it. Hail to Victor Ree and a
fly Eagles fly right into the lost column. The winning
streak is over at ten games. It was the fifth
touchdown pass of the game for Jaden Daniels as he
(03:08):
got it done, got it done now.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Jalen hurts, how'd that go? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
The Eagles did not celebrate winning the NFC East. The
better story is in the losing locker room. And I
mentioned I put the wammie on the Eagles Jalen Hurts
and did not play at the end of the first quarter,
knocked out of the game, knocked out of the game,
hitting the head on the turf, and he gon't And
that's it. First quarter and so the rest of the game.
(03:37):
The backup picket Kenny Pickett was in. Now the Eagles
initially said, well he might come back. No, he would
not return. He is now part of the NFL's concussion Protocol.
Part of the concussion protocol, So let us discuss the
question is it time for coach Nick Sirianni and the
Eagles fans too panicked?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Oh no, panic in the disco daily Hurts is hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh my god, So I've got kosher, sanitized, and DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And we will.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Combine all of these things together and give you a
free complimentary bottle, is what we're going to give you.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I don't know what, but just give you a complimentary bottle,
all right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So my first thought here to answer the question, is
it time for Nick Cirian and the Eagle fans to panic?
I am nodding my head. Yes, well he would ten
games in a row. You're just being a shock chuck. No,
the dream of catching the Lions for the number one
overall seed, the dream all but dead, all but dead. Right,
(04:41):
That's that's over. So that means you're not going to
have the bye week. The math on that does not
work out very well in your favor. But more importantly,
the NFL concussion protocol does not mean that you'll be
right back out there in a few days for the
Philadelphia football team. So you go from a ten game
(05:02):
winning streak to I'm biting my fingernails off in the
span of a couple of laces. Here's why sloppy, undisciplined football.
The hurts injury is one thing, but just the way
the Eagles played throughout this game. They had ten penalties
for ninety one yards they handed to Washington. In this game,
(05:22):
you had CJ. Gardner Johnson ejected for taunting high and
then walked off the field and gave the double salute
to the good people that live in the DMV.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Area there Now.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
As much as we like the goof on Jalen Hurts,
it's a lot of fun. If you do a sports
talk radio show, I recommend it's a good job and
you can goof on Jalen Hurts as much as we
like the goof on him. The Eagles have no Plan B.
There is no plan B. Kenny Pickett. I saw some
people praising him. I didn't get that vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I didn't. Maybe I missed something.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I know I was watching a lot of games at
the same time, But wow, it was not a kosher
performance by Kenny Pickett. The Eagles had leads of fourteen
to nothing, twenty one to seven, and then Kenny Pickett
settled in. They were also up twenty seven to thirteen.
They lost even though the Commanders committed not one, not two,
(06:20):
not three, not four, five five turnovers. You know how
difficult it is to not win a game when the
other team gives you the ball five times. It's almost
mathematically impossible. If you do the calculus on it, it's almost
mathematically impossible. And yet here we are. The Eagles lost
the game and Kenny Pickett, he was under center for
(06:40):
the entire final three quarters of the game. In those
final three quarters, the Eagles managed just one hundred and
fifty five total yards of offense and four field goals
from the end of the first quarter to the rest
of the game.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Four field goals. That's it from the Eagles offense.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So yes, they had the lead, but the lead most
of it was built on the back of the running
game Sakwon Barkley when Jalen Hurts was in the game. Now,
Picket completed less than sixty percent of his passes for
one hundred and forty three yards. He also averaged a
pedestrian six yards per pass attempt, so he had a
touchdown pass at the end of the first quarter and
(07:18):
one hundred and eighty three yards. The Eagles had twenty
one points and one hundred eighty three yards. Pickett had
one touchdown pass at interception and a fumble as well.
Philly so brilliant with the tushy pushy, but in this game,
on third down three of sixteen. My computer like brain
tells me that is less than twenty percent. So now
(07:39):
going forward, I mentioned the anxiety, the panic at the disco,
the finger biting, which is all part of this.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's all part of this.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So Hertz is now subject to the NFL's step by
step returned to play policy, the many procedures that lawyers
have put in so the NFL does not get sued
up the wazoo under the concussion protocol, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Now, as part of that process, it's part of that process.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It means that hurts must be clear to return by
an independent brain expert and also the team doctors. But
it's the independent one which is the fly in the ointment,
the roach in the salad. Now furthermore to Buffalo we go,
that is where Bill's quarterback Josh Allen has his own issues.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Josh Allen took a helmet to the funny bone. Oh
it's so funny, my funny bone. He was not laughing, right,
arm happened during the game with the Patriots, and of
course obviously not to laughing. Matter is Josh Allen going
into that game the MVP favorite. Did Lamar Jackson pass
(08:53):
Josh Allen, by did another Buffalo player slipped down the
MVP race as a result to of playing not that
great in a poor weather game. Developing hot dot dot dot.
Lamar certainly had no problems with the Steelers in his
performance on Saturday. But anyway, this is about Josh Allen.
So Allen told Sibiaz. He told CBS after the game
(09:16):
that he had quote no feeling, no feeling in his
right hand after taking that hit in the second half
of the game. On the next row came out a
little wobbley. The wobbley as a result. So what is
your level of concern for Josh Allen at quarterback in Buffalo?
(09:37):
So the Malord scale of concern one to ten, with
ten being football armageddon, I'm at a seven. I can't
go higher than a seven, but I can't go lower
than a like a six and a half. So I'm
at a seven for Josh Allen. Allen is already nursing
supposedly a bum left hand, that's his non throwing hand,
(09:59):
and now he's go an issue with his right arm,
the funny bone. Now that's at least what the Bills
are saying. But I've been burned too many times sitting
behind these microphones to believe that we're getting the full store.
We're getting a version of the story. But I don't
think we're getting the whole store. I think there's more
to it. So he's got the left hand, now he's
(10:20):
got something with the right arm. The Bills are saying, Hey,
it's just the funny bone, that's it. We imagine it's
something more. Right, we're getting a sanitized, a sanitized version
of what's going on. So you were down fourteen to
nothing at home, had to scratch and claw and worked
(10:43):
your way back into the game. If you're Buffalo, you
win by what turns out to be a field goal
to a team that is now the three and twelve Patsies. Boy,
those Buffalo Bills are impressive. New England ended up with
more yards than Buffalo. They had nine more first downs,
although it should be noted that the reason the Patriots
(11:05):
had nine more first downs than the Bills was because
of the holiday spirit in Buffalo, the Bills mafia, and
mainly the Bills players. They had thirteen penalties for seventy
eight yards. They handed seven first downs by penalty to
the Patriots. That's hard to do. That's a high number,
like one or two is all right, But seven New
(11:25):
England got seven first downs on penalty because of the
incompetence of the Bills.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
At least in the eyes of the officials. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So what I'm trying to say is, there's a spill
on Aisle seven. There's a spill on Aisle seven, so
you might want to get the mop out the bucket,
get that ready to go out. Last thing to Atlanta,
we go the christening of a new star in Georgia.
At least they think Michael Pennex Junior, he's back under center.
(11:56):
Hadn't seen him play as a starter in a meaningful
game since he was back Washington and for the Huskies.
But Michael Pennock Junior made his much ballyhood debut after
sitting on the sidelines and getting hemorrhoids and holding a
clipboard all season. Now Michael Pennock Junior under center. So
the question put a letter grade on Michael Pennex Junior's
(12:18):
debut for Atlanta. A game that was won. Atlanta won
in a cake walk over the Giants, a game that
was never in doubt. They win going away, So what's
the letter grade? So before I give you my letter grade.
I want to tell you some of the headlines that
the tost sucking NFL media put out there from Michael
(12:39):
Pennix Junior.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
One of the headlines I found these confusing.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
One of the headlines was Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Junior
validates belief in almost flawless first start. Almost flawless first start,
Rahie Morris said, almost flawless Pennix excites NFL fans. Another
blog post, Wait, there's more Michael Pennix Junior. This one
(13:04):
read lifts the Falcons in his starting debut. Okay Malor
report card C minus average average average. I don't understand now.
I didn't watch every second of this game. I flipped
over to the game was in my rotation. I did
(13:24):
see the Giants, who I took for gambling reasons on
Benny Versus the Penny the TV show. The Giants jumped
out to a seven to nothing lead. Now, the reason
I cannot give Michael Pennix Junior more than a C
minus on the Mallor report card is because he did
nothing that was extraordinary and after sitting and learning on
the sidelines, you would think that he would come out
(13:46):
hit the ground running. He did not hit the ground running.
He finished with a generic two hundred two yards passing,
no touchdown passes. He had an interception that was bounced
off Kyle Pitts, but it still counts as an interception.
No impact on the running game. It's not like he
ran wild. It's not like the second coming of Lamar
Jackson or anybody like that. But the reality was this
(14:08):
was like a Draft Kings commercial. It was we do
commercials ever so often. They call it a no sweat
bet from DraftKings, where if you lose, you get your
money back.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's what this was.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
He was set up for success and find the Falcons
won the game by a lot, but it was playing
a the worst team in football. B Drew Locke hand
delivered two touchdowns to Atlanta. He threw not one but
two pick six, has had three turnovers in the game,
also lost.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
A fumble that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, well, Cousins is like I could have done that
if I had played.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
He was on the sidelines, Kirk Cousins, I could have played.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But Drew Locke two touchdowns handed by the Giants offense.
And so you talk about setting Michael Pennix junior up
bet now better days.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Are ahead, we hope. But let's be fair.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Let's not just because you're excited because there's a new
person that's entering the stage.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Let's not say that they remembered all their lines. Because
they didn't remember all their lines.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It was a very block performance by a guy that
was drafted in the first round of the draft and
had had all year. Unlike all these other rookie quarterbacks,
many of them started either right away or within the
first couple weeks of the season. Michael Pennix was sitting
on the sidelines, waiting, waiting until it was just a
couple of weeks ago in the season, and didn't really
do anything that magic.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But yet everyone's praisy. I get it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Your default position is to celebrate the new guy. But
the new guy was kind of average. It is the
Ben Mahlers Show. If you'd like to comment on any
of that, you can join us now and be part
of the show. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
There is a line open. There is a line open.
So an NFL coach has been inspired by a Disney movie,
(15:52):
a movie that has already been mentioned. If you've been
with us all night, we had mentioned this movie earlier
in the show. I did not have this story in
my mind until a few minutes ago. But an NFL
coach inspired by a Disney movie? But which Disney movie?
And what did the NFL coach do? It's an hilarious story.
We'll get to that and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It is I Bill Miller to remind you to interact
with the live radio show.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's an advantage that you have.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Those podcast listeners can't take part in this because they're
sleep and they're not able to take part in the
live show. But you can send a message in on
the X machine Salo to Ben at Ben Maller. Bree
is in the producing chair. You can say hello to her,
although she is a Saints fan. Sailor anyway. Bri bre
(16:56):
Denise twenty six, Brie Denise twenty six. And Mark not
on X but he is on Facebook, Marky Mark twenty
twenty four. No, that's somebody else. That's fine, that's good.
No Mighty Mark, Mighty Mark. Oh yeah, not market far
mighty Mark. Yeah, get that right, Let's get back to
(17:18):
the show. Say my name man Well and Guardina was right,
it's your friend Ben.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Here. I got prison mail. I got more here prison mail.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I want to thank our friend Charles, who is staying
at the Gray Bar Hotel in Grady, Alabama. Charles has
been a long time listener. He sent me a very
nice letter and also a holiday card.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
This is very kind.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I want to thank Charles. And we don't have time,
unfortunately to read that on the air, but he didn't mention.
I thought it was kind of funy because Charles has
been one of our in prison listeners for a long time.
We call that a captive audience, you boys in prison,
and we do hope you guys have a.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Good a good holiday there.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And it's it's a tough time there everybody, especially when
you're locked up you can't see your friends and family.
But Charles wanted everyone listening. He's a big mall or
militia guy, and he sent this a snail mail. He
sent this eleven days ago, so it's pretty good for
us to get mail eleven days after someone sends it.
Usually it takes about four months, but he did a comment.
(18:18):
I did see that he commented all these athletes having
their stuff stolen, these big star athletes in America, targeting
the big money, big name players and all that. So
he had some hot takes on that. But thank you again, Charles.
I will consume that. I know you're a big fan
of the show, and we thank you for listening. I
know it's not cheap to send that when you're in jail,
and so thank you for that. And also want to think,
(18:40):
I assume this came from we grab this whole from
Sprocoli because Speccoli sent us a delicious Kringle, so the
Danish bakery somebody signed us up for their mailing list.
I assume it's got to be Sprocoli. So any kind
of Kringle you want? You ever had the Kringle here?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I don't even know what roccoli.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That's bad show knowledge by you. Breece Pacoli's the legend.
I met him at the Mala Meet and greet in
South Carolina. He's actually been out here. He lives in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which is much cooler now because
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Is now living there at North Carolina. Oh, look at this.
You can get Danish pecan sticky buns. That sounds pretty good, right,
it's delicious.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That sounds good. I'll set you back thirty dollars or
ninety nine cents?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Was that including delivery?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Or one pound box seven Danish pecan sticky buns.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I do not believe that includes delivery?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Flat rate? The deliveries a nine ninety nine. This is
direct from Wisconsin, though, so I'll cost you forty one.
My computer, like braind tells me plus tax, it'd be
about fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
That sounds like?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This all looks really good. I should not should not
be looking at this. I can't how about I, ma,
mens should make a kringle? How hard could it be
to make a kringle? We got cakes here? It's pretty good,
all right? Anyway, Let's go to the phone, say, well,
who do.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
We have here?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Eenie meeny miny moe. Take a caller by their name,
and let's see who do I want? Who will annoy
me the most?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Who's on hold?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Oh that's got to be Angry Bill in Jacksonville. Hello,
Angry Bill, and happy holidays to you, Angry Bill.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Thank you for the introduction. Ben I greatly appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
You could you not clear your throat on the air.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I can do it by a woman.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Well, I know you can do it, but it doesn't
sound very good.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Well I couldn't care less. But who's been an ongoing
thing for at least at least five years now between me,
you and Eddie, and I.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Found it amazing.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
The exact day it came out, you and him weren't
on the show that day. I was hoping he would
be and you wouldn't be. But that's the way it
worked out. Eddie would always sigh when I would bring
this gentleman's name up, gentleman, and you would like.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh wait, I think I think I heard that.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I think I know somebody emailed me or send me
a message on social media.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You you did a shot in freud to Dance the
other day, Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You celebrated the demise of someone else.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Peterson. Yes, yes, you put on a pedestal, And I
didn't put.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Him on a pestal.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I just didn't say the things you said that could
have gotten us in some trouble on the air about
what you wanted to do to Adrian Peterson I didn't
go that far.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
He's a dirt bag. Scumble off the bottom of my shoe.
He's got two more arrest warrants for child abuse and no,
I think I.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Think what I read it was he didn't pay child
support is what he didn't.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And it's considered child abuse.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But he didn't like he didn't whip the kid. He
didn't pay the child.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
From behind in the head.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He's accused of that. He hasn't been proven guilty of that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You believe he's guilty though, you believe he's good. Well, no,
but listen, when you went to when you robbed the bank, right,
you had they had to prove that you robbed the
bank before you went to jail.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Right, they can just accuse you of it and then
you immediately go to jail. You have to prove it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Right, So you make any kind of accusation you want,
now that'll.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Be made one hund.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I am aware of that.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
He can't child support.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Well, he does have a lot of kids. He's uh,
you know, he got he spent his seat all over
the place.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You know, there's a lot of kids. I'm not defending
I'm just saying there's a lot of kids. It's probably
hard to keep tracked.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Dirt bag, you are a dir I'm a dirt bag.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I'm a I had nothing to do with it. I
met him one time.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
One reason why you want to defend well.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
You you believe everything that is said is one hundred percent.
I do know angry Bill. I do. It's black and white.
But angry Bill all.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Right says you won't stop talking, I'll put you on
time out. So I do know in domestics that euations
angry Bill. Uh, it gets really nasty, really fast. He
goes from like zero to one hundred. When men and
women are fighting over money and kids, it gets real nasty,
real fast.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
So but maybe he did it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And if that's the case, you'll have to pay a
price for that, and that'll be that.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Let's go back on the phones. Let's salo to Eenie
Meenie moneymore Jerome and Charleston. Bring it home. Jerome, Hello, Jerome, thank.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
You, thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Defense attorney Ben ben Miller, Ben Miller or whatever you do.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I stand for truth justice in the sports talk radio way.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Attorney, my client is.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Beyond beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Exactly if the glove don't fit, you must have quit yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, yeah, Well what happened to Johnny Kalkanuf. He said that,
well everyone everyone c yeah, man, God watching you man.
You know you gotta cheap people.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
I always tell.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I would argue that O J. O J believes.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I believe he's dead now too, But OJ believe Johnny
Cochran really did a good job. That That was great
defense attorney worked by Johnny Cockran when he said that
if they don't want to.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Get on, the witness stands a sure third guilty as hell.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, I don't so if you're on a jury.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
If you're on a jury Jerome and Charleston and the
person is being accused, guilty, guilty, I actually like to
be I'd like to be on a jury, but I've
never been selected to. I was almost on a federal
jury a couple of years ago, but I didn't make
the cuts.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Very guilt come after you that one.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well, there's a there's a great I want to share
this as there's a great quote from the late Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It was Beino Cook.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
He talked about the Feds and like, when you're charged
by the Feds, they are the they're always the favorite,
and they always have home field advantage in every case
when the Feds come after you, Right, So that's as
I think it was a Beano Cook line, the old
college football guy Beano Cook that when you the Feds
come after you, they always have home field, They're always favored,
(25:12):
and the weather is always perfect for them, and for
you it's not perfect.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Hey, look, you know, do you want to talk about
Look I had when I when I tried to get
into the military. You know, I had to have a
background investigation. I said, it's a dun good thing. Man.
I never got in any trouble because my mom was
really strict. She didn't play because if I had any
scandals or anything, no way I ever got it. But
then again, so some people can have like convictions and
(25:39):
making the sense of the highest all of a sudden
the land and I really don't understand.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well it is so listen, and the FBI hires criminals
all the time that because they know they know how
criminals work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
So yeah, by the way.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
He could you give me av please ben as a
Christmas present to me, because you know I hate the holidays. Yes,
you have a fight between me and the couple of people.
Because I heard a guy the other day trashing Ricky Henderson,
who was one of the most incredible baseball players.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Who was trashing Ricky Henderson? What he was?
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
This guy also trashed Dave Robins. Here q's Dave Robins
of causing Otani to injure himself. The guy injured himself
flotting at the second day.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Okay, all right, I don't know who you're talking. I
don't know who you're talking about. Martin, Jason Martin. He
doesn't show the weekends.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Yeah, they don't take phone calls.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Okay, well Jason's defense. I mean, the more shocking you are,
the more attention to get. So he's probably just trying
to shock people. Some people know who he is.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
I need you to set up a fight between me
and Chick her mandd the guy Dave Robins, Uh, you
could possibly be in the Hall of Fame. He said
it before Game one. I called you up, Dan Mallard
in the middle of the night after they lost to
the Pojects Cam to two's Okay, the third bases we
(27:00):
played like craft.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah you know that. No, I remember that they did.
They Roberts.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
It's a bad manager that Dodgers ever had.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I don't I don't I don't agree with you on
that he's had the greatest players. It's like that, it's
like Phil jacks. Like Phil Jackson is not the greatest
coach of all time because Phil Jackson had the greatest players.
The same concept applies for Dave Roberts. He's had the
top talent in baseball. If anything, the Dodgers have underachieved.
They've only won two World Series and they've been Do
you realize for the last ten years the Dodgers have
(27:31):
had the top team in baseball every year, they've only
won twice. Hey, that's that's a twenty percent success rate.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
You can't win.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
But if you have the top players every year, shouldn't
you win more than two?
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Look? The other side is you no.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Never. I never compete.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I sit on my ass. I rip other people that
compete is what I do. Yes, trying to well, not always.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Have you seen some of these NBA games They don't try,
They don't Did you.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
See the Warriors where they playing Memphis? They lost by
forty something points. They weren't trying that game.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Tell let me tell you man, there was a guy
that I was. There was a coach. He's dead now,
so I can say this story. I told it before.
But Bill Fitch, you know who that is. He was
an old NBA coach and Bill Fitch Bill Fitch, yeah coach.
He won a championship with the cell he coached the Rockets,
but I was I was friends with him when he
coached the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
He was a very nice man to me. I love
Bill Fitch. Rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But Bill told me, he said, if your team is
coached well and plays hard, they will never lose by
thirty points or more. That that is a sign of
a team not putting a full effort out there. And
he even said like twenty points. So anytime I see
these teams losing by thirty or more points, they're just
like other things going on. I don't know, internal issues
or whatever. You're bow guarding all the time. Though you
know that you're bow guarding all the time. You're stealing
(28:48):
all the time you're home. There's other people online that
would like to talk.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Hey, there are people that have a regular job and
sometimes they don't give full effort all the time.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It happens.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Stop making excuses. Come on, what's wrong with you? Yeah,
here's the thing, jer as far as well, I'll fine
you should be happy. They say they're not very good.
But here's the thing about people. You say, well, you know, yeah,
people are lazy at work, and that is true, but
it's if you play only eighty if you only had
to show up to work eighty two times during the year,
(29:19):
and that's or in football seventeen times. Not every day. Yeah,
not Monday through Friday and all that stuff. It, well,
your different thing. I gotta call me, I'll be here tomorrow.
I gotta go, thank you, go away. Let's say hello
to aenie meenie miney moe. Let's say hello to Doug
who's in Sunday. I go, hello, Doug, welcome, How are you, sir, Doug.
(29:44):
If I was any better, I would be a bucket heer.
But not Baker Mayfield because his team lost to the Cowboys,
and that's embarrassed, very good.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Yeah, I was actually pulling for the Cowboys for some reason.
I want to see Atlanta win that division. Looks like
that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Well, they still have to win, and the Falcons have
a rich history of losing games. They should win.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
It's a very rich history of losing. And I, yes,
I understand that. I wanted to talk about Jim Harbaugh,
this thing with the field goal. I was at that
Charger game. Ray Worshing, Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
You were back in the day that the free kick.
You remember that, you were a kid.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
I was there.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You were there.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
I held the ball for Ray.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Now you're alive and now you're just making things up.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
I was there. I was actually at that game. I
was what twenty I was the twenty two ball and
the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You know that was in the second in San Diego?
Was that in San Diego? That game?
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Yes, sir, all right, and let me tell you who
made the call for that. It was the old termmy prothrow.
The former UCLA head coach Ejeene had the foresight.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Another another by the way, Mark, I didn't. I did
not have Tommy prothrow's name coming up on the show.
So we can x that box now on my Bengo
card names here as uh Brianna is like looking up
Tommy pro throw?
Speaker 6 (31:13):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
What is that a dish in a restaurant? I don't understand,
but well, that's a great that you must have. Your
eyes must have popped out of your head when you
saw that over the way.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
I was surprised it had been forty eight years. I
really didn't think it was that big a deal. But
it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Well, a lot of.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
People didn't even know you could do that. They're like, what, Like,
I didn't know that was a thing. They were shocked
by that. Jim Harbaugh knew that you.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Could do that, exactly blown away.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
But you think about it, how many punts end up
being fair talked where you can actually a field goal?
About many?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, no, that's true, But I bet you're somebody else.
But between now and the end of the season, somebody
else like Andy Reid or somebody will do it.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Oh yeah, but remember Doug pluting drop kicking that extra point.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Well, Doug Flutia led more of a college legend than
an NFL legend.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
But yes, I do. That was with the Patriots, wasn't
It was?
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Really?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, Belichick there at the end.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Of the story, the odd couple.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Look, you got Tim pro Throat, you got you got
Doug Flutie, Ray Wershing.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You're on a roll.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
It's like we're doing old guy radio.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
We're doing old guy radio. Keep going. Give me some
more names. I need some more old names.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Come on, Well, you know what Dan Fouts remember Johnny
and I signed with the Chargers and he was an
old man.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
He couldn't play anymore. Yeah done. I've heard stories how
done he was.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Yeah, so he got to hit me like the first
sheet of the game and the out for the season.
And Dan Thoux was a raw rookie.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's what he kept Johnny United signed.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
He signed with the San Diego Chargers so he could
sit out on the beach, is what he I'm gonna go.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Play the He looked at Jean Klein when he was
signing the contract. He went, you sure you want me
to sign this?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
All right, hey call me more on I gotta go.
I love the the old stories though. All right, thank you.
That is a Doug in San Diego. Let's hello to
Marcel in Brooklyn. Marcel, are you there, Marcel? So I
want to share this story. Marcell Are you there? Marcel?
Speaker 5 (33:10):

Speaker 8 (33:10):
Yeah, good morning, good to see you. Oh, by the way,
if you follow for those of you who will follow

Ben I followed you on Blue Scott.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Oh well, thank god, I have to go back. I
haven't been on there in a few days. I haven't
gone out there.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Now, Marcel, and I'm waiting for the request. Oh you're
waiting for me to follow you back?
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Is that?
Speaker 7 (33:36):
Absolutely? Go right ahead straight to the story you got.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
So last week I visited Hill Valley. You ever been
to Hill Valley?
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Hill Valley here in New York?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
No, no, no, it's it's Back to the Future Hill Valley.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Oh, back in the future of Hill Valley.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Yeah, that was even like the movie Back in the Future. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I was there, I went, I went to I wanted
to DeLorean and I was in the actual back to
the Future city there. Yeah, it was pretty wild. It
was cool, all right, no to you. So, the the
New Orleans Saints played the Green Bay Packers. They will
lose by about thirty points in that game tonight. But
the Saints I love this story. So this is a
hilarious story. So in order to prepare for going to
(34:15):
lambeau Field, the New Orleans Saints, who are used to
that nice southern weather, playing in the Dome and all that,
so they one of their coaches decided to take a
page out of a Disney movie. Where do you think, Marcel,
The Saints practice they had a meeting to prepare to
go to lambeau Field.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Where do you think they they'll play Monday.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Night football tonight, Yeah, fifteen Eastern.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Where do you think they had their meeting.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
They'll have a meeting at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
As a matter of fact, No, that is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
The forecasts were very cold temperatures in Wisconsin, as you
might imagine in late December. So one of the coaches said,
all right, boys, we're having a team meeting in the
cafeteria freezer catteria.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, now, you gotta be careful.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
You could get locked in there, and then that becomes
an episode of an old sitcom, So you gotta be
careful not to get locked in there. But yeah, the
Saints had a team meeting. They went over their game
script in the freezer at the cafeteria. So the Saints
are already on ice. That's where they put bodies, by
the way, they put them in freezer. So that was
(35:26):
from the movie Cool Runnings. Do you ever see Cool Runnings?
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Cool Runnings is back in the eighties, I think I know.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
But it's you can still watch it. You don't have
to be around when.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
It was on.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
You can say that again.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
It's from what Apple TV?
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Allright, Netflix, they don't have time, but call tomorrow. I'll
give you a pass tomorrow, Marsell. I know it's not

Speaker 4 (38:40):
All right, well I would say the your bed.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, that's right, the sheets on the bed. That's that

give you that. We feel pity.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Chris. There you go, Happy holidays. You got you got one? Hi,
Ben
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number four. Our four is knocking at
the door. And the Philadelphia football team had won ten
games in a row and then they had an injury,
a rather big injury. We will discuss the status of
their quarterback. Also, is a time for coach Nick Sirianni
(00:24):
and the Eagle fans to to panic. We will discuss that.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Also.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
In addition, we talk about your concern level for Bill's
quarterback Josh Allen. He was injured. Also, Jalen Hurts injured
for Philadelphia. And we'll put a letter grade on Michael
Pennex Junior's first performance, his opening act for the Atlanta
football team. That and a whole lot more. Right now,
have a wonderful Monday. Here it is our number four.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Give this.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Dirty Dirty Birds.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Benmaller Show,
one after another, even on a holiday week. We are
in the air eywhere talking in a vacuum.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The whole neighborhood's listening, unless they're sleeping.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Coast to coast, boarding the border and beyond on the
beast and glinsly powerful microphones of FSR mmating live from
the Candy The candy Factory is. We are broadcasting live
from the Tyrack dot Com studios, t direct dot com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:48):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers
tract dot com. The way tirebind should be a no
KCCR Hauller has driven around ten thousand cars is more
than that over the years. But we are back at
it again as we begin this hour in our lead
from the state of Maryland where Rick morning Time, one
(02:08):
of our callers it resides, and an NFC East slobber knocker.
The game of the week. I told Danny DeVito, our
favorite bus driver from Boston.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I said, listen, this is.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
The game I like. And I put the whammy on
the Birds. I put the Wamy on the Burs. So
if you didn't see this, Jaden Daniels orchestrated a nine play,
fifty seven yard drive in the final seconds, finding Jamison
Crowder in the end zone with six seconds to play.
Despite a Washington player jumping before the snap, they didn't
(02:44):
call it and touchdown. Team that used to be called
the Redskins, and they win thirty six thirty three, the
final and that's it. Hail to Victor Ree and a
fly Eagles fly right into the lost column. The winning
streak is over at ten games. It was the fifth
touchdown pass of the game for Jaden Daniels as he
(03:08):
got it done, got it done now.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Jalen hurts, how'd that go? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
The Eagles did not celebrate winning the NFC East. The
better story is in the losing locker room. And I
mentioned I put the wammie on the Eagles Jalen Hurts
and did not play at the end of the first quarter,
knocked out of the game, knocked out of the game,
hitting the head on the turf, and he gon't And
that's it. First quarter and so the rest of the game.
(03:37):
The backup picket Kenny Pickett was in. Now the Eagles
initially said, well he might come back. No, he would
not return. He is now part of the NFL's concussion Protocol.
Part of the concussion protocol, So let us discuss the
question is it time for coach Nick Sirianni and the
Eagles fans too panicked?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Oh no, panic in the disco daily Hurts is hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh my god, So I've got kosher, sanitized, and DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And we will.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Combine all of these things together and give you a
free complimentary bottle, is what we're going to give you.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I don't know what, but just give you a complimentary bottle,
all right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So my first thought here to answer the question, is
it time for Nick Cirian and the Eagle fans to panic?
I am nodding my head. Yes, well he would ten
games in a row. You're just being a shock chuck. No,
the dream of catching the Lions for the number one
overall seed, the dream all but dead, all but dead. Right,
(04:41):
That's that's over. So that means you're not going to
have the bye week. The math on that does not
work out very well in your favor. But more importantly,
the NFL concussion protocol does not mean that you'll be
right back out there in a few days for the
Philadelphia football team. So you go from a ten game
(05:02):
winning streak to I'm biting my fingernails off in the
span of a couple of laces. Here's why sloppy, undisciplined football.
The hurts injury is one thing, but just the way
the Eagles played throughout this game. They had ten penalties
for ninety one yards they handed to Washington. In this game,
(05:22):
you had CJ. Gardner Johnson ejected for taunting high and
then walked off the field and gave the double salute
to the good people that live in the DMV.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Area there Now.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
As much as we like the goof on Jalen Hurts,
it's a lot of fun. If you do a sports
talk radio show, I recommend it's a good job and
you can goof on Jalen Hurts as much as we
like the goof on him. The Eagles have no Plan B.
There is no plan B. Kenny Pickett. I saw some
people praising him. I didn't get that vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I didn't. Maybe I missed something.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I know I was watching a lot of games at
the same time, But wow, it was not a kosher
performance by Kenny Pickett. The Eagles had leads of fourteen
to nothing, twenty one to seven, and then Kenny Pickett
settled in. They were also up twenty seven to thirteen.
They lost even though the Commanders committed not one, not two,
(06:20):
not three, not four, five five turnovers. You know how
difficult it is to not win a game when the
other team gives you the ball five times. It's almost
mathematically impossible. If you do the calculus on it, it's almost
mathematically impossible. And yet here we are. The Eagles lost
the game and Kenny Pickett, he was under center for
(06:40):
the entire final three quarters of the game. In those
final three quarters, the Eagles managed just one hundred and
fifty five total yards of offense and four field goals
from the end of the first quarter to the rest
of the game.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Four field goals. That's it from the Eagles offense.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So yes, they had the lead, but the lead most
of it was built on the back of the running
game Sakwon Barkley when Jalen Hurts was in the game. Now,
Picket completed less than sixty percent of his passes for
one hundred and forty three yards. He also averaged a
pedestrian six yards per pass attempt, so he had a
touchdown pass at the end of the first quarter and
(07:18):
one hundred and eighty three yards. The Eagles had twenty
one points and one hundred eighty three yards. Pickett had
one touchdown pass at interception and a fumble as well.
Philly so brilliant with the tushy pushy, but in this game,
on third down three of sixteen. My computer like brain
tells me that is less than twenty percent. So now
(07:39):
going forward, I mentioned the anxiety, the panic at the disco,
the finger biting, which is all part of this.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's all part of this.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So Hertz is now subject to the NFL's step by
step returned to play policy, the many procedures that lawyers
have put in so the NFL does not get sued
up the wazoo under the concussion protocol, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Now, as part of that process, it's part of that process.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It means that hurts must be clear to return by
an independent brain expert and also the team doctors. But
it's the independent one which is the fly in the ointment,
the roach in the salad. Now furthermore to Buffalo we go,
that is where Bill's quarterback Josh Allen has his own issues.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Josh Allen took a helmet to the funny bone. Oh
it's so funny, my funny bone. He was not laughing, right,
arm happened during the game with the Patriots, and of
course obviously not to laughing. Matter is Josh Allen going
into that game the MVP favorite. Did Lamar Jackson pass
(08:53):
Josh Allen, by did another Buffalo player slipped down the
MVP race as a result to of playing not that
great in a poor weather game. Developing hot dot dot dot.
Lamar certainly had no problems with the Steelers in his
performance on Saturday. But anyway, this is about Josh Allen.
So Allen told Sibiaz. He told CBS after the game
(09:16):
that he had quote no feeling, no feeling in his
right hand after taking that hit in the second half
of the game. On the next row came out a
little wobbley. The wobbley as a result. So what is
your level of concern for Josh Allen at quarterback in Buffalo?
(09:37):
So the Malord scale of concern one to ten, with
ten being football armageddon, I'm at a seven. I can't
go higher than a seven, but I can't go lower
than a like a six and a half. So I'm
at a seven for Josh Allen. Allen is already nursing
supposedly a bum left hand, that's his non throwing hand,
(09:59):
and now he's go an issue with his right arm,
the funny bone. Now that's at least what the Bills
are saying. But I've been burned too many times sitting
behind these microphones to believe that we're getting the full store.
We're getting a version of the story. But I don't
think we're getting the whole store. I think there's more
to it. So he's got the left hand, now he's
(10:20):
got something with the right arm. The Bills are saying, Hey,
it's just the funny bone, that's it. We imagine it's
something more. Right, we're getting a sanitized, a sanitized version
of what's going on. So you were down fourteen to
nothing at home, had to scratch and claw and worked
(10:43):
your way back into the game. If you're Buffalo, you
win by what turns out to be a field goal
to a team that is now the three and twelve Patsies. Boy,
those Buffalo Bills are impressive. New England ended up with
more yards than Buffalo. They had nine more first downs,
although it should be noted that the reason the Patriots
(11:05):
had nine more first downs than the Bills was because
of the holiday spirit in Buffalo, the Bills mafia, and
mainly the Bills players. They had thirteen penalties for seventy
eight yards. They handed seven first downs by penalty to
the Patriots. That's hard to do. That's a high number,
like one or two is all right, But seven New
(11:25):
England got seven first downs on penalty because of the
incompetence of the Bills.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
At least in the eyes of the officials. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So what I'm trying to say is, there's a spill
on Aisle seven. There's a spill on Aisle seven, so
you might want to get the mop out the bucket,
get that ready to go out. Last thing to Atlanta,
we go the christening of a new star in Georgia.
At least they think Michael Pennex Junior, he's back under center.
(11:56):
Hadn't seen him play as a starter in a meaningful
game since he was back Washington and for the Huskies.
But Michael Pennock Junior made his much ballyhood debut after
sitting on the sidelines and getting hemorrhoids and holding a
clipboard all season. Now Michael Pennock Junior under center. So
the question put a letter grade on Michael Pennex Junior's
(12:18):
debut for Atlanta. A game that was won. Atlanta won
in a cake walk over the Giants, a game that
was never in doubt. They win going away, So what's
the letter grade? So before I give you my letter grade.
I want to tell you some of the headlines that
the tost sucking NFL media put out there from Michael
(12:39):
Pennix Junior.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
One of the headlines I found these confusing.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
One of the headlines was Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Junior
validates belief in almost flawless first start. Almost flawless first start,
Rahie Morris said, almost flawless Pennix excites NFL fans. Another
blog post, Wait, there's more Michael Pennix Junior. This one
(13:04):
read lifts the Falcons in his starting debut. Okay Malor
report card C minus average average average. I don't understand now.
I didn't watch every second of this game. I flipped
over to the game was in my rotation. I did
(13:24):
see the Giants, who I took for gambling reasons on
Benny Versus the Penny the TV show. The Giants jumped
out to a seven to nothing lead. Now, the reason
I cannot give Michael Pennix Junior more than a C
minus on the Mallor report card is because he did
nothing that was extraordinary and after sitting and learning on
the sidelines, you would think that he would come out
(13:46):
hit the ground running. He did not hit the ground running.
He finished with a generic two hundred two yards passing,
no touchdown passes. He had an interception that was bounced
off Kyle Pitts, but it still counts as an interception.
No impact on the running game. It's not like he
ran wild. It's not like the second coming of Lamar
Jackson or anybody like that. But the reality was this
(14:08):
was like a Draft Kings commercial. It was we do
commercials ever so often. They call it a no sweat
bet from DraftKings, where if you lose, you get your
money back.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's what this was.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
He was set up for success and find the Falcons
won the game by a lot, but it was playing
a the worst team in football. B Drew Locke hand
delivered two touchdowns to Atlanta. He threw not one but
two pick six, has had three turnovers in the game,
also lost.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
A fumble that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, well, Cousins is like I could have done that
if I had played.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
He was on the sidelines, Kirk Cousins, I could have played.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But Drew Locke two touchdowns handed by the Giants offense.
And so you talk about setting Michael Pennix junior up
bet now better days.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Are ahead, we hope. But let's be fair.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Let's not just because you're excited because there's a new
person that's entering the stage.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Let's not say that they remembered all their lines. Because
they didn't remember all their lines.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It was a very block performance by a guy that
was drafted in the first round of the draft and
had had all year. Unlike all these other rookie quarterbacks,
many of them started either right away or within the
first couple weeks of the season. Michael Pennix was sitting
on the sidelines, waiting, waiting until it was just a
couple of weeks ago in the season, and didn't really
do anything that magic.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But yet everyone's praisy. I get it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Your default position is to celebrate the new guy. But
the new guy was kind of average. It is the
Ben Mahlers Show. If you'd like to comment on any
of that, you can join us now and be part
of the show. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
There is a line open. There is a line open.
So an NFL coach has been inspired by a Disney movie,
(15:52):
a movie that has already been mentioned. If you've been
with us all night, we had mentioned this movie earlier
in the show. I did not have this story in
my mind until a few minutes ago. But an NFL
coach inspired by a Disney movie? But which Disney movie?
And what did the NFL coach do? It's an hilarious story.
We'll get to that and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It is I Bill Miller to remind you to interact
with the live radio show.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's an advantage that you have.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Those podcast listeners can't take part in this because they're
sleep and they're not able to take part in the
live show. But you can send a message in on
the X machine Salo to Ben at Ben Maller. Bree
is in the producing chair. You can say hello to her,
although she is a Saints fan. Sailor anyway. Bri bre
(16:56):
Denise twenty six, Brie Denise twenty six. And Mark not
on X but he is on Facebook, Marky Mark twenty
twenty four. No, that's somebody else. That's fine, that's good.
No Mighty Mark, Mighty Mark. Oh yeah, not market far
mighty Mark. Yeah, get that right, Let's get back to
(17:18):
the show. Say my name man Well and Guardina was right,
it's your friend Ben.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Here. I got prison mail. I got more here prison mail.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I want to thank our friend Charles, who is staying
at the Gray Bar Hotel in Grady, Alabama. Charles has
been a long time listener. He sent me a very
nice letter and also a holiday card.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
This is very kind.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I want to thank Charles. And we don't have time,
unfortunately to read that on the air, but he didn't mention.
I thought it was kind of funy because Charles has
been one of our in prison listeners for a long time.
We call that a captive audience, you boys in prison,
and we do hope you guys have a.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Good a good holiday there.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And it's it's a tough time there everybody, especially when
you're locked up you can't see your friends and family.
But Charles wanted everyone listening. He's a big mall or
militia guy, and he sent this a snail mail. He
sent this eleven days ago, so it's pretty good for
us to get mail eleven days after someone sends it.
Usually it takes about four months, but he did a comment.
(18:18):
I did see that he commented all these athletes having
their stuff stolen, these big star athletes in America, targeting
the big money, big name players and all that. So
he had some hot takes on that. But thank you again, Charles.
I will consume that. I know you're a big fan
of the show, and we thank you for listening. I
know it's not cheap to send that when you're in jail,
and so thank you for that. And also want to think,
(18:40):
I assume this came from we grab this whole from
Sprocoli because Speccoli sent us a delicious Kringle, so the
Danish bakery somebody signed us up for their mailing list.
I assume it's got to be Sprocoli. So any kind
of Kringle you want? You ever had the Kringle here?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I don't even know what roccoli.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That's bad show knowledge by you. Breece Pacoli's the legend.
I met him at the Mala Meet and greet in
South Carolina. He's actually been out here. He lives in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which is much cooler now because
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Is now living there at North Carolina. Oh, look at this.
You can get Danish pecan sticky buns. That sounds pretty good, right,
it's delicious.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That sounds good. I'll set you back thirty dollars or
ninety nine cents?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Was that including delivery?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Or one pound box seven Danish pecan sticky buns.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I do not believe that includes delivery?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Flat rate? The deliveries a nine ninety nine. This is
direct from Wisconsin, though, so I'll cost you forty one.
My computer, like braind tells me plus tax, it'd be
about fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
That sounds like?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This all looks really good. I should not should not
be looking at this. I can't how about I, ma,
mens should make a kringle? How hard could it be
to make a kringle? We got cakes here? It's pretty good,
all right? Anyway, Let's go to the phone, say, well,
who do.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
We have here?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Eenie meeny miny moe. Take a caller by their name,
and let's see who do I want? Who will annoy
me the most?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Who's on hold?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Oh that's got to be Angry Bill in Jacksonville. Hello,
Angry Bill, and happy holidays to you, Angry Bill.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Thank you for the introduction. Ben I greatly appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
You could you not clear your throat on the air.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I can do it by a woman.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Well, I know you can do it, but it doesn't
sound very good.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Well I couldn't care less. But who's been an ongoing
thing for at least at least five years now between me,
you and Eddie, and I.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Found it amazing.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
The exact day it came out, you and him weren't
on the show that day. I was hoping he would
be and you wouldn't be. But that's the way it
worked out. Eddie would always sigh when I would bring
this gentleman's name up, gentleman, and you would like.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh wait, I think I think I heard that.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I think I know somebody emailed me or send me
a message on social media.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You you did a shot in freud to Dance the
other day, Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You celebrated the demise of someone else.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Peterson. Yes, yes, you put on a pedestal, And I
didn't put.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Him on a pestal.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I just didn't say the things you said that could
have gotten us in some trouble on the air about
what you wanted to do to Adrian Peterson I didn't
go that far.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
He's a dirt bag. Scumble off the bottom of my shoe.
He's got two more arrest warrants for child abuse and no,
I think I.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Think what I read it was he didn't pay child
support is what he didn't.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And it's considered child abuse.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But he didn't like he didn't whip the kid. He
didn't pay the child.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
From behind in the head.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He's accused of that. He hasn't been proven guilty of that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You believe he's guilty though, you believe he's good. Well, no,
but listen, when you went to when you robbed the bank, right,
you had they had to prove that you robbed the
bank before you went to jail.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Right, they can just accuse you of it and then
you immediately go to jail. You have to prove it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Right, So you make any kind of accusation you want,
now that'll.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Be made one hund.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I am aware of that.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
He can't child support.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Well, he does have a lot of kids. He's uh,
you know, he got he spent his seat all over
the place.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You know, there's a lot of kids. I'm not defending
I'm just saying there's a lot of kids. It's probably
hard to keep tracked.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Dirt bag, you are a dir I'm a dirt bag.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I'm a I had nothing to do with it. I
met him one time.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
One reason why you want to defend well.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
You you believe everything that is said is one hundred percent.
I do know angry Bill. I do. It's black and white.
But angry Bill all.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Right says you won't stop talking, I'll put you on
time out. So I do know in domestics that euations
angry Bill. Uh, it gets really nasty, really fast. He
goes from like zero to one hundred. When men and
women are fighting over money and kids, it gets real nasty,
real fast.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
So but maybe he did it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And if that's the case, you'll have to pay a
price for that, and that'll be that.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Let's go back on the phones. Let's salo to Eenie
Meenie moneymore Jerome and Charleston. Bring it home. Jerome, Hello, Jerome, thank.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
You, thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Defense attorney Ben ben Miller, Ben Miller or whatever you do.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I stand for truth justice in the sports talk radio way.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Attorney, my client is.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Beyond beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Exactly if the glove don't fit, you must have quit yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, yeah, Well what happened to Johnny Kalkanuf. He said that,
well everyone everyone c yeah, man, God watching you man.
You know you gotta cheap people.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
I always tell.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I would argue that O J. O J believes.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I believe he's dead now too, But OJ believe Johnny
Cochran really did a good job. That That was great
defense attorney worked by Johnny Cockran when he said that
if they don't want to.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Get on, the witness stands a sure third guilty as hell.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, I don't so if you're on a jury.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
If you're on a jury Jerome and Charleston and the
person is being accused, guilty, guilty, I actually like to
be I'd like to be on a jury, but I've
never been selected to. I was almost on a federal
jury a couple of years ago, but I didn't make
the cuts.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Very guilt come after you that one.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well, there's a there's a great I want to share
this as there's a great quote from the late Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It was Beino Cook.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
He talked about the Feds and like, when you're charged
by the Feds, they are the they're always the favorite,
and they always have home field advantage in every case
when the Feds come after you, Right, So that's as
I think it was a Beano Cook line, the old
college football guy Beano Cook that when you the Feds
come after you, they always have home field, They're always favored,
(25:12):
and the weather is always perfect for them, and for
you it's not perfect.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Hey, look, you know, do you want to talk about
Look I had when I when I tried to get
into the military. You know, I had to have a
background investigation. I said, it's a dun good thing. Man.
I never got in any trouble because my mom was
really strict. She didn't play because if I had any
scandals or anything, no way I ever got it. But
then again, so some people can have like convictions and
(25:39):
making the sense of the highest all of a sudden
the land and I really don't understand.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well it is so listen, and the FBI hires criminals
all the time that because they know they know how
criminals work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
So yeah, by the way.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
He could you give me av please ben as a
Christmas present to me, because you know I hate the holidays. Yes,
you have a fight between me and the couple of people.
Because I heard a guy the other day trashing Ricky Henderson,
who was one of the most incredible baseball players.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Who was trashing Ricky Henderson? What he was?
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
This guy also trashed Dave Robins. Here q's Dave Robins
of causing Otani to injure himself. The guy injured himself
flotting at the second day.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Okay, all right, I don't know who you're talking. I
don't know who you're talking about. Martin, Jason Martin. He
doesn't show the weekends.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Yeah, they don't take phone calls.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Okay, well Jason's defense. I mean, the more shocking you are,
the more attention to get. So he's probably just trying
to shock people. Some people know who he is.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
I need you to set up a fight between me
and Chick her mandd the guy Dave Robins, Uh, you
could possibly be in the Hall of Fame. He said
it before Game one. I called you up, Dan Mallard
in the middle of the night after they lost to
the Pojects Cam to two's Okay, the third bases we
(27:00):
played like craft.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah you know that. No, I remember that they did.
They Roberts.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
It's a bad manager that Dodgers ever had.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I don't I don't I don't agree with you on
that he's had the greatest players. It's like that, it's
like Phil jacks. Like Phil Jackson is not the greatest
coach of all time because Phil Jackson had the greatest players.
The same concept applies for Dave Roberts. He's had the
top talent in baseball. If anything, the Dodgers have underachieved.
They've only won two World Series and they've been Do
you realize for the last ten years the Dodgers have
(27:31):
had the top team in baseball every year, they've only
won twice. Hey, that's that's a twenty percent success rate.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
You can't win.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
But if you have the top players every year, shouldn't
you win more than two?
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Look? The other side is you no.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Never. I never compete.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I sit on my ass. I rip other people that
compete is what I do. Yes, trying to well, not always.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Have you seen some of these NBA games They don't try,
They don't Did you.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
See the Warriors where they playing Memphis? They lost by
forty something points. They weren't trying that game.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Tell let me tell you man, there was a guy
that I was. There was a coach. He's dead now,
so I can say this story. I told it before.
But Bill Fitch, you know who that is. He was
an old NBA coach and Bill Fitch Bill Fitch, yeah coach.
He won a championship with the cell he coached the Rockets,
but I was I was friends with him when he
coached the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
He was a very nice man to me. I love
Bill Fitch. Rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But Bill told me, he said, if your team is
coached well and plays hard, they will never lose by
thirty points or more. That that is a sign of
a team not putting a full effort out there. And
he even said like twenty points. So anytime I see
these teams losing by thirty or more points, they're just
like other things going on. I don't know, internal issues
or whatever. You're bow guarding all the time. Though you
know that you're bow guarding all the time. You're stealing
(28:48):
all the time you're home. There's other people online that
would like to talk.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Hey, there are people that have a regular job and
sometimes they don't give full effort all the time.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It happens.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Stop making excuses. Come on, what's wrong with you? Yeah,
here's the thing, jer as far as well, I'll fine
you should be happy. They say they're not very good.
But here's the thing about people. You say, well, you know, yeah,
people are lazy at work, and that is true, but
it's if you play only eighty if you only had
to show up to work eighty two times during the year,
(29:19):
and that's or in football seventeen times. Not every day. Yeah,
not Monday through Friday and all that stuff. It, well,
your different thing. I gotta call me, I'll be here tomorrow.
I gotta go, thank you, go away. Let's say hello
to aenie meenie miney moe. Let's say hello to Doug
who's in Sunday. I go, hello, Doug, welcome, How are you, sir, Doug.
(29:44):
If I was any better, I would be a bucket heer.
But not Baker Mayfield because his team lost to the Cowboys,
and that's embarrassed, very good.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Yeah, I was actually pulling for the Cowboys for some reason.
I want to see Atlanta win that division. Looks like
that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Well, they still have to win, and the Falcons have
a rich history of losing games. They should win.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
It's a very rich history of losing. And I, yes,
I understand that. I wanted to talk about Jim Harbaugh,
this thing with the field goal. I was at that
Charger game. Ray Worshing, Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
You were back in the day that the free kick.
You remember that, you were a kid.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
I was there.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You were there.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
I held the ball for Ray.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Now you're alive and now you're just making things up.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
I was there. I was actually at that game. I
was what twenty I was the twenty two ball and
the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You know that was in the second in San Diego?
Was that in San Diego? That game?
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Yes, sir, all right, and let me tell you who
made the call for that. It was the old termmy prothrow.
The former UCLA head coach Ejeene had the foresight.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Another another by the way, Mark, I didn't. I did
not have Tommy prothrow's name coming up on the show.
So we can x that box now on my Bengo
card names here as uh Brianna is like looking up
Tommy pro throw?
Speaker 6 (31:13):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
What is that a dish in a restaurant? I don't understand,
but well, that's a great that you must have. Your
eyes must have popped out of your head when you
saw that over the way.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
I was surprised it had been forty eight years. I
really didn't think it was that big a deal. But
it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Well, a lot of.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
People didn't even know you could do that. They're like, what, Like,
I didn't know that was a thing. They were shocked
by that. Jim Harbaugh knew that you.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Could do that, exactly blown away.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
But you think about it, how many punts end up
being fair talked where you can actually a field goal?
About many?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, no, that's true, But I bet you're somebody else.
But between now and the end of the season, somebody
else like Andy Reid or somebody will do it.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Oh yeah, but remember Doug pluting drop kicking that extra point.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Well, Doug Flutia led more of a college legend than
an NFL legend.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
But yes, I do. That was with the Patriots, wasn't
It was?
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Really?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, Belichick there at the end.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Of the story, the odd couple.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Look, you got Tim pro Throat, you got you got
Doug Flutie, Ray Wershing.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You're on a roll.

old man.

He couldn't play anymore. Yeah done. I've heard stories how
done he was.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Yeah, so he got to hit me like the first
sheet of the game and the out for the season.
And Dan Thoux was a raw rookie.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's what he kept Johnny United signed.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
He signed with the San Diego Chargers so he could
sit out on the beach, is what he I'm gonna go.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Play the He looked at Jean Klein when he was
signing the contract. He went, you sure you want me

Speaker 7 (33:36):

Speaker 1 (33:40):

Speaker 2 (33:40):
So last week I visited Hill Valley. You ever been
to Hill Valley?
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Hill Valley here in New York?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
No, no, no, it's it's Back to the Future Hill Valley.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
Oh, back in the future of Hill Valley.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Yeah, that was even like the movie Back in the Future. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I was there, I went, I went to I wanted
to DeLorean and I was in the actual back to
the Future city there. Yeah, it was pretty wild. It
was cool, all right, no to you. So, the the
New Orleans Saints played the Green Bay Packers. They will
lose by about thirty points in that game tonight. But
the Saints I love this story. So this is a
hilarious story. So in order to prepare for going to
(34:15):
lambeau Field, the New Orleans Saints, who are used to
that nice southern weather, playing in the Dome and all that,
so they one of their coaches decided to take a
page out of a Disney movie. Where do you think, Marcel,
The Saints practice they had a meeting to prepare to
go to lambeau Field.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Where do you think they they'll play Monday.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Night football tonight, Yeah, fifteen Eastern.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Where do you think they had their meeting.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
They'll have a meeting at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
As a matter of fact, No, that is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
The forecasts were very cold temperatures in Wisconsin, as you
might imagine in late December. So one of the coaches said,
all right, boys, we're having a team meeting in the
cafeteria freezer catteria.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, now, you gotta be careful.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
You could get locked in there, and then that becomes
an episode of an old sitcom, So you gotta be
careful not to get locked in there. But yeah, the
Saints had a team meeting. They went over their game
script in the freezer at the cafeteria. So the Saints
are already on ice. That's where they put bodies, by
the way, they put them in freezer. So that was
(35:26):
from the movie Cool Runnings. Do you ever see Cool Runnings?
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Cool Runnings is back in the eighties, I think I know.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
But it's you can still watch it. You don't have
to be around when.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
