Cowboy's quarterback Dak Prescott predicting quote greatness for himself and

wonderful Tuesday in its hour number four.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
So you're saying there's a chance, Ah, yeah, there's a chance.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour, the Ben Mather show.
We are in the air ev rewhere in the passenger
seat as we have some butter beer unless we know coast,
the coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and monumentally powerful microphones of FSR AM monating live from

(01:39):
the support We are your emotional support audio animal from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now the Funky
Cheeseman reminds me that this hour made possible in part
by our friends at tire Rack.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
For over forty years, ti Raq has been helping customers

where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,

(02:17):
the number one burner account. And mister Irgishon and Ocho
Texto remind me that this hour also made possible in
part by Express Employment Professionals. That's right. If you're facing
a peak season, you know what I'm talking about, looking
for a new team member, how about that workforce solutions
from our friends at Express Employment Professionals make hiring easier.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Here's what you do.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Visit expresspros dot com and find an office and see
how Express can help you hire smarter and faster. All right,
so our lead this hour is from the atl after
Raheem Morris was given as walking papers, Bye bye, get

(03:02):
out of here.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
He was let go fire. Hard to believe that didn't
work out. Who could have seen that one coming? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Rahe Morris failed first time failed, second time head coach.
So the Falcons are now trying to find a new
head coach. And who do you think has been prominently
mentioned as a candidate for the Atlanta Falcon job?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Do do do Do Do Do do do do do
do do? Do you know that's right? Correct?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yes, Bill Belichick and all the weasel words are being used.
I love the weasel words, according to industry sources.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Industry sources.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
All right, according to industry sources, they claim that Bill
Belichick's name is gaining traction. A that's so stupid, gaining
traction in Atlanta. Now the owner Arthur Blank, You might
remember that a couple of years back. Arthur Blank, the
home depot guy, and Bill Belichick were besties. A couple

(04:07):
of years ago there was a whining and dining, were
hanging out little puppy dog guys, and then they went
on yacht trips and all of that. And it seemed
at one point, at one point there were reports that
Belichick was going to get the Falcon job. He was
going to leave the page he had left the Patriots,
been whacked by the Patriots, going to go to Atlanta

(04:27):
and coach the Falcons instead, at the very last minute,
the eleventh hour, Atlanta decided to go with that loser
Raheem Morris, hoping for stability and familiarity and all that.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
And they would have success.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
And what happened kaboom, It backfired backfight.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
So now multiple teams are searching for head coaches.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
There's a lack of quality head coaches, and tada presto.
Bill Belichick's name, once again has served is a top
candidate in the atl So that's a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question, what chance do you give
Bill Belichick, the North Carolina coach, of getting the Falcon

(05:12):
job this time around? So my take on this, I've
got atomic gallon jugs and general mills, and we will
combine all of these things together and We're going to
have a Smorgasborg of Baba Ganoosh is what. We're going
to have a Smorgasborg of the Babaganush. Now the leadoff,

(05:33):
we're gonna st right away. No, don't waste any time.
The Malard sports Book odds, which is the really the odds.
We love our friends at draftings, but the Malord Sportsbook
ods plus four hundred plus four hundred, that implies a
twenty percent chance, a twenty percent chance Belichick ends up
in Atlanta a two hundred hitter. That's Miguel Rojas hitting

(05:55):
a home run against the Blue Jays in Game seven
of the World Series to tie the game up.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's what that is.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
So those are tasty odds. Those are really good tastey
odds is what this is.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
And here's why.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
The last time around, last time around, Bill Belichick was
this close. You can't see unless you're watching on the
YouTube feeds, this close, right. Belichick was this close to
get in the job, and Arthur Blank wanted him, and
Arthur Blank allowed the people that he employed to talk
him out of hiring Bill Belichick.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
And it was the middle.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Manager crowd, the clipboard commandos who said no, no, no,
they staged a coup, so we don't want this. There
was a power struggle behind the scenes and worried about
being marginalized because Bill Belichick is going to go in
there and take over everything. So Belichick got bocked out.
There's also some scuttle butte that Robert Kraft buried Belichick

(06:52):
as well. If you fast forward to the day Arthur
Blank he took the atomic blow torch, not a regular blowtorch,
and atomic blowtorch to his franchise head coach, gone GM, gone,
president of football ops.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Gone gone gone gone gone, gone, gone gone. Now why
did you do that?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
The reason he literally fumigated the entire facility for the
thug is. My theory is this was payback because all
of those people, not the coach, because the coaches the
one of the good job, but the GM and Terry
Fontina and the man that runs like the president of
the falg like, they said, don't hire Belichick, and so

(07:35):
Arthur Blank listened to them, and they hired a stooge
in Raheem Morris. So this is Arthur Blank said, all right,
I listened to you idiots two years ago. You dingleberrys
led me astray. He took me down the garden path.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
So it's through you.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
You're all losing your job. Get out of here. And
so guess what that leaves ding ding ding ding ding.
That's right wide open runway. For Belichick, it's Bill my
way or the highway. Belichick, he wanted total control of
football ops. And there's nobody left. They're all gone now.

(08:14):
I supposing Matt Ryan, who's please, He's gonna take some
job in the front of us. But Belichick. The issues
for Belichick, the red flags are obviously there. They're obvious,
and they haven't changed. He's going to be seventy four
in April. Jordaan Hudson the soap opera. It's just the
whole thing's like a like a red lipstick courtroom drama

(08:36):
with her. Regardless, if you look at the coaching buffet
and you look around, you scan the buffet, you've got
candidates that range from cold pasta to the right. It's
in the tupperware. It's a the cold pasta. You've got
three day old meat loaf that's off to the side.
There's a stew. It's like a mystery stew. We don't

(08:56):
know what that is. I wouldn't eat that, and then
there's Bill Belichick. You got Bill Belichick, and that's like
the you went out to dinner. It was a company dinner.
You went and you went to Ruth Chris you got
you got a prime rib.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
You forgot about it. You didn't finish it.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
You put part of it there in the in the freezer,
and you just forgot about it. So what you do
is you thaw the thing out, and then yeah, you
add a little side dish, maybe some mashed potatoes.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I'd go baked potato. I go baked potato.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
But you do that, and then you've got a five
star gable boom. And as a talk show host, I
recommend Bill Belichick. Meanwhile, to Miami, we go Miami, Miami, Miami.
Some interesting comments from South Florida. Now, if you didn't
hear about this, maybe not Dolphins quarterback Tua Tongue of
I looa.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's a mouthful.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
He was very honest about saying, I kind of want
a fresh start. I'm not not kinda, he told reporters
after he was benched for the final few weeks of
the regular season. He said, Hey, I'm cool, I'd like
to go somewhere else. You might remember Dolphin coach Mike McDaniel,
who still hasn't been fired, says he's going to keep
his job.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Benched Tongue of.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Ioa for the rookie Longhorns quarterback seventh round pick Quinn Yours,
and he said that the seventh round pick, this is
Mike McDaniel said, the seventh round pick gave Miami the
best chance to win. So let's discuss the question how
much weight do we put on Dolphins quarterback Tua tongue
of Iloa saying a fresh start would quote be dope.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
That's the that's the quote, all right.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
So on this one, you break out the industrial strength
scale and it's going to snap in half, is what
it is. It just the Tua is not a standard
PR robot.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
He's not reading Q cards and talking point memos and
all that. These are not things written by an agent
or a PR hack wearing three thousand dollar suits. Tua
skips the gatorade, he doesn't drink the beer, doesn't do that.
He drinks gallon jugs of truths from them.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
He does.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
And when he said, hey, I'm good with it about
getting a fresh start doing somewhere, that's not small talk.
That's a flare gun up in the sky. It's a
it's a big firework up there. And Tua knows, and
every man, woman and child knows that Tua is facing
the doomsday clock to be the Dolphins quarterback.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's running down, and he's done in Miami.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
So this has been bubbling up we mentioned earlier, and
you go back here the podcast that Mike McDaniel's chosen
to keep his job. He's blaming all of the Dolphins
problems on tour, all of them, all of them, not
some of them, all of them. And so the back
channel whispers bubbling below the surface. That's been going on

(12:00):
for a while, and the conversations in back alleys, and
the NFL casino is open for business, it is, and
the Dolphins are windows shopping. They want another quarterback, they
want to change it up, and they don't have a
GM yet.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
And Tua Tongua bi Loo has already got a suitcase packed.
He's ready to go to the airport.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
So if you look at the malor math on the
quarterback carousel, you got the Colts they need your quarterback,
the Raiders, the Vikings, possibly the Cardinals. They're gonna get
rid of the little fella alligator arms Murray the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
If Aaron Rodgers is dune skis.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
So you look at them and you bounce around the
browns are they're sniffing around? They're sniffing around. And here's
the catch if you read the fine print, If you
look at the fine print, what are the problems with
tam He struggles when the temperature gets below forty degrees.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
He's not made for that.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Cold weather turns. It's like frozen pipes. You know, looks
fine until you try to use it, and then it's
not fine. It's not good. And so this is a
dome team dating profile. Dome team dating profile is what
this is warm weather only that's it soft landing. Think

(13:18):
of it like my pillow. He's a my pillow quarterback. Now,
in terms of the fresh start, everyone wants to be
Daniel Jones. Not Daniel Jones at the end of the year.
That Daniel Jones the first eight weeks of the year
when it was a revelation and he was.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
A new man.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
He had gone from Danny Dimes and now he was
Indiana Jones and that whole thing and then it fell apart.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
The Colts need a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
So there's a possibility, and they kept their coaching staff
intact for now. The Raiders, it doesn't seem like much
of a good fit, but they do play dome. They
do play in a dome, and so this story does
have legs. It definitely has legs. And it's not only
got legs, it's already jogging. It is already jogging all right. Now,
last thing to Dallas we Go and Jerry's World, where

(14:04):
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, despite the Cowboys watching the playoffs
on television, very optimistic about what's in store for him.
Prescott recently had a bold response when asked about what's ahead,
and he was asked what's ahead for you?

Speaker 1 (14:20):
His response starts with a G. Greatness.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yes, right, greatness, he said, along with the other money quote,
he said, I think this is Dak Prescott. I think
over my career, the track record somewhat proves that, meaning
hard work and greatness. Say what all right, question, Cowboys
quarterback Dak Prescott, predicting greatness, greatness and bragging about his

(14:48):
track record. What is your ruling on this one? So
the Malard court room is open for business. The ruling
on this one? So Dak Prescott talking about greatness. It's
like a serial box promising a prize and then giving
you air. Well, no, there was supposed to be a prize,
but there's no prize in it. But it's said on
the box there's a prize, but there's no They don't

(15:08):
do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
There's no price.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
But I want the pride, but it's set on the
box and there's no prize. What's up with that? And
so that's where we are. This guy, Dak Prescott is
the general. He's General Mills Cuckoo for cocoa puffs. He
is financially, I'll tell greatness if you just talk about financially.
He has played the system. He has played Jerry Jones

(15:30):
like a violin. He really has. Financially. You can't do
it better on the field, don't ask not good. Nobody
has gotten paid more for doing less in big games
when the lights of the bride is than Dak Prescott.
In NFL history, that used to be Matt Stafford. People
said that about Matthew Stafford and then he won the

(15:50):
Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
And they can't say that about Matthew Stafford anymore.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
You can still say it about Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott
has mastered the pp the Peter principle, the Peter principal.
He has been promoted to the point of his highest
level of incompetence starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
He's parked.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
There.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Can't get rid of him, Can I do it? If
you check the receipts.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
If you look at the receipts, Dak Prescott nine years
heading into year ten, almost three hundred million.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Dollars he has made in that time.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
That is Johnny Walker blue money, and you're drinking tapwater lukewarm, tapwater, lukewarm.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
In January, two wins and one of actually both of
them are little fugazi. The last playoff win for Dak,
He's two to five in the playoffs, was against the
rotting carcass of Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
The other playoff game is when he got out played by.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Russell Wilson and the Seahawks in Dallas, and because of
some mistakes by the Seattle football team, Cowboys won. So
not exactly greatness. It's been a he said, these things
called reruns, and it's been a rerun year after year.
The track record Pollie on the track record. He is

(17:13):
a cousin of the Freeto bandito. He is a stat bandito.
They're stealing stats and nobody has enjoyed cupcakes more than
Dak Prescott. The numbers are absolutely staggering. I did some
mald math on this. The numbers don't lie. Against teams
that have a winning record. Dak Prescott has played sixty

(17:36):
five games in his career. He has won twenty of
the sixty five games. He's twenty forty four and one
teams that finished the year with a winning record, a
three thirteen winning percentage against good teams. Dak Prescott against
bad teams, teams that have a losing record at the
end of the year, he's got an eight fifty one
winning percentage eight fifty one. He's sixty three and eleven.

(18:00):
The cowboys are when Dak starts against bad teams, which
would be great if you did a little better against
the good teams. It's so simple, stupid. Yeah, now he
can't do that. He's a front runner. He's got the
training wheels on and all that stuff, and so Dak
talks big and then the game tightens up. You get

(18:22):
that tight took syndrome. You get that tight keister, the
badunka dunk and all that, and he shrinks and that's it.
And you know, so the verdict in the court of malor,
the greatness talk, you've been overruled.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
The prosecution rest. We give the numbers on that, so
no further questions.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
You're on it.

Back to it, back to where we go and get
back to the calls in a moment And NFL coach,
is it true? Hanging by hanging by the fingernails?

Speaker 1 (21:02):
O Cho text o.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Keith sent a message a few minutes ago. He says,
can Coop mark the tape of Lorena saying it was
right there?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
But it wasn't. It wasn't it. Did you say? Is
that what you said Lorena? Is that I did?

Speaker 6 (21:18):
I did say that. I recall saying that me and
Coop both went through that game.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Uh huh. Couldn't find it.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
We can't find it really, And I'm wondering, like, did
I say it before the game? I'm pretty sure it
was during the game, and I thought it was.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I thought it was the field you're talking about the
field goal? Are you talking about what Eddy? I thought
it was with Eddie. I think it was with Eddy.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Okay, so I gotta go back that. Yeah, yeah, he's
a field goal thing. Fird Dog, says Ben.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Do you remember a game of password nine years ago
between Justin and Cincinnati and Indiana Andy? The word was
wave and you tried the Malard maneuver with title, but
Andy misheard you and got it wrong.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I just wanted to say I think that it was
a brilliant clue. Well, thank you. Yeah. Justin used to
be really good at the game shows.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
He called the show and he just kind of sits
back and sends offensive content on X these days, like
the one he just sent next to Fergdog. He sent
something that was very, very offensive that I thought was
appropriate there, something about Zach Taylor and some daycare situation
and whatnot.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
There, I'm kind of afraid of X now, Ben.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Why are you afraid because of him?

Speaker 6 (22:29):
No? No, no. I went through my message request yesterday though,
and I had one from a listener and they were like, hey,
thank you so much for your advice on the Queen
of Hearts a few months ago.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, it's great. We're actually engaged now, really, And I
was like, oh my gosh, how exciting.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
And then he was like, yeah, but I want to
live like next store. I don't want to live in
the same place. We want like houses next to each other.
And I went to go and message back and it said, oh,
you can't message this person, and so I went to
their page and it said I've been blocked. But then
I started looking at what they've been reposting.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, some dark stuff.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
Horribly dark stuff, like inappropriate, like black market, like you
shouldn't be a parent type stuff.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
And I'm like, oh my gosh, it scared me. Yeah, yeah, well,
you know, we need all kinds in the world, good guys,
bad guys.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
And all that stuff, and so we welcome everyone there.
I kept getting messages from Sir scratch Off, who was
sending me very nice messages, you know, happy happy Hollys,
married Christmas and a happy New Year. Except Sir scratch
Off not the brightest guy in the world. He had
his It was on Facebook, and he has Facebook page
set up where I.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Could not respond to him.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
But then he was getting upset that I was big
timing him by not responding. But I tried to respond
to Sir scratch Off. I attempted to respond to him,
and and numb Nuts kept sending me messages, getting more
and more upset that I wasn't responding to him when
I tried to be polite and respond to him, and
he I don't know what he did. He fetched around

(23:54):
with it and you couldn't respond, but he can't. He'd
sent me messages but I couldn't respond to himself.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
Making himself angry. He didn't even know.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
All right, let's go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Blind Scott said he wanted to be on an hour
two or three, so let's welcome me me in an
hour four.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Hello, blind Scott, No, I.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
Got major breaking news. But scratch Off lost his mom
last year. He said, you know, he's a good old boy.
He took it really hard. I feel for the guy.
I love your scratch Off. But here this is on
a positive note, breaking news.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
This is the biggest breaking news, breaking news from Blind Scott.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Yes, all right, so I am now for Mike Rabel,
he reported by w CVB Boston in the TV station
in Boston. I like to call him Gravees. We're friends.
I waved my mobility can't throw him and said, get
out of the way. Mike Vrabel has moved to the
North end of Boston. We're neighbors, we're fellow constituents. We

(24:50):
vote in the same elections.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Now that's not true.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah, look at the article. Look it up.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
I don't believe it. You believe that, you believe I
believe it. There's too much traffic.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
It's a pain in the ass to get out to
where the Patriots practice an article.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
No, well, he lives in the same building as Wellberg.
So here's the thing that the traffic's right. So he

eighteenth pick, so they should use the eighteenth pick in
the draft to draft some random, no name quarterback from
some directional college.

and putting number one as a starter for twenty twenty six.
