We go.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number, for our number four, and oh what
a hot stew it is in South Florida. Now the
Dolphin's traveling circus visited Cleveland and decided not to show up.
How are things looking for coach Mike McDaniel's tenure with
the Browns after getting run off the field by the

(00:23):
Cleveland football team. Also in New Jersey, what's the most
puzzling thing about this? Justin fields mess with the Jets,
he was benched, Also Tua his bench with the Dolphins.
And how do you explain in Minnesota the Vikings red
zone offense or lack thereof under Carson Wentz. We'll talk
about all that and more right now here. It is

(00:47):
our number four. You ever seeing a brown dolphin when
you're out in the ocean, No, if you're in Cleveland
on Sunday, you saw it. Brown dolphin. Welcome. In the

and we love talking about bad sports teams. They're fun
to talk about. It's fun to pick them apart. And
we have a bunch of bad football we have not
talked about yet. We've been here all night and our
next stop is the land Cleveland, where the Browns not
the punching bag on this Sunday in the NFL in

(02:44):
Week seven, as rookie quin Shawn Judkins scored not one,
not two, but three touchdowns and the Cleveland Browns snapped
what seems like they have us every year, a couple
times a year, a three game losing streak, thirty one
to six beat down of the Miami Dolphins. Where have
you gone, Dan Marino? Miami misses you? So Dolphins ended

(03:08):
up benching to a tongue of iyi looa and coach
Mike McDaniel appeared to be out of sorts postgame and
no answer to any of this. And the better story
is in the losing locker room, So they'll jump up
on that and discuss the situation that Dolphins find themselves in.
I feel like we've had this conversation you and I

(03:29):
many times with the question how are things looking for
coach Mike McDaniel at this moment, and it's his tenure
hanging on by a thread after losing and getting blown
out by the Cleveland brown So on this one, I've
got Fashionista, Best Buy and PlayStation and we will combine

(03:50):
all of these things together, and we're gonna make the
baba Ganoosh. We're gonna make the barbaganoogey. Let's hear from
before we get into the meat of the matter. Here,
let's hear from the head coach of the Miami Dolphins,
the never well spoken head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
He chooses not to speak the King's English. I don't
know what he's speaking. It's jibberish. But anyway, here is

(04:12):
the head coach, Mike McDaniel, as the Dolphins now have
lost not one, not two, but at three in a row. Yep,
that's about right here we go.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Three losses in this league in a row are always
tickets toll you.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
You honestly get to see across the board.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know the people that you're working with, and we're
professionals that need to do our jobs better.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Tape never lies.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Never never lies. That is the head coach of an
NFL team. But wait, there's more. Here's Mike McDaniel again,
asked about whether or not he is going to be
decommissioned by the ownership there in Miami. Here's the coach.
Here's his answer.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Let's say it listen, find it very offensive to all
parties involved. If I'm thinking about having the job, I
need to be doing my job. So for as long
as a coach for the Miami Dolphins in this organization,
they'll get everything from me.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm sure they're getting everything from you right now. This
is to start out again. The question, the jumping off
point was how are things looking for Mike McDaniel's tenure
as coach or the Dolphins after getting blown out by
the Browns, and you heard him give the sports cliche response,
this is a capital B boondoggle. This is the definition

(05:34):
of boondoggle. It is. You could see this from the
opening drive of the game. The body language for the
Miami Dolphins screamed, it's too wet, it's too cold. I
don't like it here. I want to go back and
have a cocktail in Miami. What are we doing here?
Like every other Dolphin team my entire life, the only

(05:56):
way that Dolphins will ever win anything again is to
have home field advantage. You live in Miami, you're not.
You can't handle any kind of inclement weather. And they
got pushed around, bullied and punked by the Browns, the
Cleveland Browns, the skid marks of the NFL. They kicked
your ass. He saw a fumble there, a drop pass there,

(06:18):
a bunch of drop passes, blown coverages, you name it,
lazy tackling, mistackling. You want a penalty, we'll give you
some penalties. They were there, it was. It was just
a mess all the way around. Bad team's going to
bad team. That's what they do. And the Browns turned
the Browns opponent here, the Miami Dolphins. They went from

(06:39):
the Dolphins against the Browns. The Browns went from the
factory of sadness to like a craft brewery of pain.
And they were serving up kegs and the Dolphins got
one kegs of whoop ass is what they got here.
And that it really is malpractice. You can lose to
the Browns because the Browns will win a couple games
a year. You cannot not be competitive, all right. The

(07:04):
Dolphins is so bad at this point their game should
be on tube. That's how bad the games are. Getting
mollywopped by Cleveland is ridiculous. And then you had the
fashionista entering the chat, Mike McDaniel for our blind listeners,
that will descript. Did you see what he was wearing?

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Now?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Again. It was cold, it was windy, it was a
rainy especially in the first half. The weather it was
really really bad there. So my guy, Mike McDaniel decided,
you know what I'm gonna do. Halloween's coming up. Who
should I dress up as? Who should I dress up?
I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna dress up
and do some cosplay as the Unibomber. That's what I'm
going to do. He had the hoodie, he had the sunglasses,
and he did look like he was doing cosplay for

(07:43):
the Unibomber on the sidelines. Now, is this a football
coach or a guy who's going to live off the
grid in Miami or in Montana? Rather from Miami, fly
up to Montana. We have a listener. We have a
couple of listens in Montana that are in active with
the show. One of them used to be a high
school coach. I think he's coaching in college now in Montana.

(08:05):
But anyway, listen. Mike McDaniel gave off the vibe like
I'm gonna downsize. I'm okay, I made a lot of
money coaching the Dolphins. I'm gonna go on HG TV
and I'm gonna get a tiny home because I'm a
tiny guy and I'll get a tiny home. That's the
vibe e masculation situation. And it was a Hollywood classic.
Not singing in the rain. It was a remake of

(08:26):
singing in the rain. It was crying in the drizzle.
Crying in the drizzle was what it was. They didn't
just lose, they got exposed. Yet again, we've seen the
Dolphins exposed many times. Out toughed, out, hit out, coached
the whole thing, the whole shebang. And now we can
talk about Tua, who also is a hot mess. My god,

(08:49):
at least he was an average quarterback if I was.
He's a little inflated, but he's okay. You can get
by with Tua. The last six weeks or so horrific. Horrific,
and I guess all year. I mean was week seven,
so you say the whole year. But he had three
interceptions in this game, a career worst passer rating of

(09:09):
twenty four point one, which is a good scoring average
in the NBA, not a great passer rating. And again
the stat of stats, the Dolphins would have been better
off if they had taken every snap and just spiked
the ball, Just take the ball and just spike the
ball into the ground. He would have had a higher
passer rating. So the last two games to a tongue

(09:30):
by law, up has one touchdown pass and one two, three, four, five,
six interceptions, including a couple of backbreaking interceptions. Forced apology
on his team has Remember that he was forced to apologize.
They yanked him in the fourth quarter for rookie Quinn
Ewrs who kept the job at Texas over arch Manning

(09:54):
because Archie Manning. Arch Manning is terrible. But it was
a garbage time. I was like, okay, it's garbage time.
But it was like garbage time in a Sun Belt
college football game. There's like, all right, we'll bring two out.
We're gonna put this guy, quinn Yours in And then
there was some bad body language between Mike McDaniel and
the backup quarter. So this is the part of the

(10:15):
breakdown where we say where is Stephen Ross. He's a
Michigan mine, Steven Ross. He lives in Miami, big real estate,
muckety muck and all that. So you make the call
Stephen Ross. You're said to like and be fond of
Mike McDaniel, the coach of the Dolphins, and you brought
him back knowing that this was a make or break
season for the Dolphins, that Tua got paid a decent

(10:38):
amount of money and this was a turning point for
the Miami Dolphin football team. And you have turned and
driven right into the Grand Canyon. Congratulations, good luck on that.
So what are you gonna do? Do you care about
the product? Does Stephen Ross care about the Miami Dolphin product?
Based on what I've seen, the answer is no. The
GM's been there for like twenty years. Seems like Andy

(11:00):
got off to a good starry Mike McDaniel and that
was it. So right now, the Dolphins, if they were
a restaurant, they would be shut down by the health
department because their food is covered in worms. That's the Dolphins.
And you can survive losing a game close to the
Chargers or the Chiefs somebody like that, but this no chance.

(11:24):
Right in the normal world. You say that as a
fireable offense. As of this morning, nothing happened overnight. Nothing
we've seen. Brian dave Ball still the coach of the Giants.
They blew a nineteen nothing lead in the fourth quarter.
He's still there. And now Mike McDaniel still the coach
of the Dolphins, Pete Carroll still coaching the Raiders. Three

(11:45):
horrific performances on Sunday. All right, meanwhile, speaking a horrific
how about the Jets. The Jets offense sputtering? They're very
good at sputtering. The Jets offense, so sputter along, struggling
yet again, and Aaron Glenn decided to do something he
thought was offensive to even bring up last week. Aaron,

(12:05):
I don't understand why you would even bring this up.
He's playing good football, he being the quarterback, well, the
rookie head coach, still trying to get his first win,
the only winless team in the NFL, benching benching Justin
Fields in favor of the rotting carcass of Tyrod Taylor.
Now the start of the second half. The Jets ended

(12:28):
up losing to the Carolina Panthers. They lost by a
touchdown in a riveting thirteen to six game. Wow, all right,
we have some modest Aaron Glenn, we have is our
Here's Aaron Glenn, coach of the Jets, on his decision
to unceremoniously demote Justin Fields from QB one status let's
go to the audio tape.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
I understand the nature of the quarterback change, and listen,
we needed a spark at that time. I felt it
was the right time to do it. Oh, there's a
tough situation for both.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Of those guys.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
What it was my call. It was my call, and
I felt it was the right time to do it.
So when it goes into the next week, I'm not
ready to sit here and say what's going on happen
when next week with all quarterbacks? But I will say this,
that's something I have to look at, you know, So any.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Questions, any questions, why does your team suck so much?
All right, anyway, here's my question. What is the most
puzzling here's the word, We're gonna have it. What is
the most puzzling thing about this? Justin Field's hot mess
with the Jets. So the most puzzling thing is how
predictable this was. I do overnight talk radio, and I

(13:34):
knew this was going to be a mess. If I
know it, why don't the people in the arena know it?
It blows me away it as I do a stupid
overnight sports radio show, and I could have told you
this is going to be a hot mess, a self
made quagmire for the Jets. Right, they got bamboozled, hoodwinked
and led astray, and they did it on their own.

(13:55):
They looked at the big board available quarterbacks. They needed quarterback.
They didn't want to bring Aaron Rodgers back because he
was part of the old regime, the Robert Salar regime,
and Rogers supposedly wanted to go back to the Jets
in Aaron. Glenn said, no, I want my own guy.
I'm going to prove to everyone I know how to
coach pro football. I will show the world I am
a head coach and a good one. So they picked

(14:18):
up a guy who stunk in Chicago, went to Pittsburgh
and was so bad. How bad was he? The Pittsburgh
Steelers with Mike Tomlin, Remember this Tomlin, pretty levelheaded guy,
went back to what he knows as a washed up
quarterback in Russell Wilson rather than put Justin Fields in.
That's how bad Justin Fields was. And so then the Jets,

(14:41):
this guy's gonna be the savior, the messiah the Jets.
You're gonna unlock a higher level. You've got some kind
of cheat code. Yeah, okay, how's that going. By the way,
then we know how that to Yeah, okay, not good.
And it's like the Jets with these quarterbacks. Every couple
of years they changed quarterbacks. It's like the guy that
dates the same toxic women and then wonders why every

(15:05):
relationship ends up with the restraining order. You know, it's like, wait,
what are you doing? And so it's like always, oh,
this time is gonna be different. Oh no, they tell
you this is gonna be different. Okay, no it won't.
It hasn't been. It's justin fields and in fifteen different languages.
He's bad. He collapses in the pocket. It's been that
way since he entered the NFL. He can't make basic throws.

(15:28):
It's been his problem, every possessions of fire drill. It's
it's a mess. And here is Aaron Glenn, the coach
of the Jets, playing Father Flanagan. It's Father Flannagan syndrome.
And hey, we can fix him. I know, I know.
If the Bears didn't know, and I know what Pittsburgh
didn't know, we're gonna get him. Yeah, because people always

(15:49):
go to the Jets to fix their problems, right, putting
the Jets uniform on is like putting on a seventy
five pound weight when you put the Jets uniform on.
And yeah, the Bears couldn't fix him, the Steelers couldn't
fix him. But now the Jets know they're miracle workers.
Unless they're not. They it's like they went to Best Buy.
Aaron Glenn's like, all right, you know what we need.
We need a quarterback, but we need we need we

(16:12):
need like a MacBook Pro. We can't afford that. So
rather than get an Apple Macbroke Pro like one of
those air laptops, we're going to get a Commodore sixty
four is what we're gonna get. That's what we're gonna get,
the Comedy Dore sixty four. That is the issue. Justin
Fields has a very slow processor. It's like an old computer,
and he just hasn't been able to read defenses fast

(16:35):
enough to make quick decisions, which is pretty much all
that job is is just making quick decisions, getting rid
of the football, treating the football like a hot potato
and getting rid of the football. And he hasn't done that.
And the Jets they don't want to admit they've f
this up because they're selling that Hey, the quarterback. We're
just a quarterback away. We get a quarterback, and happy
days are here again. That has been the con. The

(16:59):
Jets have off, this con my entire adult life. They've
pulled this off. I'm getting old. They pulled this off.
Like the Jet fans buy into it every single season.
It's fascinating that this is the case, right, It's an
incredible hustle. Do the hustle. Do the hustle like the Jets, like,
we're almost there. We just need a quarterback and then

(17:21):
we're good. We're a quarterback away. Meanwhile, they signed these
stiffs like Justin Fields, thinking they can rehab them. Yeah,
good luck, good luck. They basically set themselves up at
this point for the number one overall pick. Congratulations. They
are the only winless team in the NFL. Same movie,

(17:42):
different year, same ending, the actors changed, but the storyline,
says stays the same. It's like they keep making Superman movies.
Watched over the weekend some of the New Superman movie
if that was horrible, but they just keep making all right. Anyway,
last thing, to Minnesota. We go, we go to Minnesota.
Jalen Hurts is good. Say what well he was in

(18:06):
this game? Three hundred and twenty six yards passing for
Jalen Hurts and three touchdowns and the et hey geel
hey else rebounded from back to back losses by hanging
on to beat the Vikings take down the Viks. Now
that is not the story here. The better stories on
the loser side. Minnesota's Carson Wentz. Yes, that Carson Wentz

(18:27):
the old Eagle a revenge game. So Carson Wentz led
an offense that scored only one touchdown despite the fact
they went to the red zone six times, which seemingly
is hard to do. That they would go to the
red zone six times and only score one touchdown. So question,
how do you explain how do you explain the Vikings

(18:49):
anemic red zone offense under Carson Wentz against the Philadelphia Eagles.
So this was l classical for Rarson Wentz. It was
just el classical. It's the same song. And as we
talk about the Jets and they're selling the same hustle
every year with their quarterback situation. Well, Sam Donold as
an individual bouncing around the NFL, and he's usually been

(19:14):
pretty good at moving the ball between the twenties, moving
the ball between the twenties, everybody's feeling good. It's like, Okay,
this guy knows what he's doing. This guy was a
top pick in the draft. He knows what he's doing,
the number two pick in the draft back in the day.
And then as soon as you hit the red zone,
the floor is lava. The field is lava. When you
hit the red zone, the operation turns into a just

(19:35):
a disaster. Right penalties over here, You've got drop passes,
bad pros, all the definitions of bad football, right field
goals instead of touchdowns, taking quarterback hits, sacks, whatever. It's
like clockwork. It really, it's like clockwork. And this is
why Carson Wentz has been regifted around the league like

(19:56):
a fruitcake over the holidays. She just gets passed, passed around.
And there's something broken in the watcha mccollett. There's always
something a little off in the watching mccollet. The internal wiring,
much like justin fields has issues. Well, Carson Wentz has
his own issues there and they have many able to
fix it. And he's played for six different teams. You
can live, you can live on getting the Renzos six times.

(20:19):
You can't live on getting field goals. Most of those
trips that is not a sustainable form of football, and
it costs the Minnesota Vikings. Carson Wentz is the football
version of a PlayStation controller that's got a clitch. Everything's fine,
everything's fine at first, and then you hit that boss
level and then otherwise there's the red zone and suddenly

(20:44):
the quarterback starts having issues. There's some invisible things there
that just aren't working out so well. So there was
a pick six also on the second possession of the
Minnesota Vikings offense there. So you had the Benny Hill
style football there. You had the Aaron snap, a scramble
that didn't go quite right. There was a bunch of
stuff like that. And this is the separator, all right,

(21:05):
This is the separator. And real quarterbacks, the elite quarterbacks
in the NFL, they feast. It isn't all you can
eat Smorgasborg in the red zone. And then Carson Wentz,
it's Halloween. He turns into a jack of Lantern just
in time for Halloween. That's Jackie Lantern. And that's why
he's playing now for his six different NFL team. And

(21:28):
he's one of those guys that he's just good enough
to make the team, but he's good enough also to
break your heart that if you have to play him,
it's not gonna work out for this. So we'll see.
The Vikings are in a bit of a pickle here
because it's sound like they know JJ McCarthy can play,
because he looked like he didn't know what he was
doing when he was playing. So he's the other option.

(21:51):
He wasn't ready to play in this game. The Vikings,
I guess, assumed they could get by with Carson Wentz.
You know what happens when you assume it is The
Ben Madley Show. If you'd like to be part eight

Cleveland Browns quarterback job, although he said the Cincinnati quarterback job.
So it's mister irrigation. Let's go to the phones. We'll
say hello to me moneymore. Danny DeVito is in Boston,
Everyone's favorite trash man. Hello Danny, Welcome mister.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
Now, thanks for taking my call.

Speaker 9 (24:44):
Another good weekend. I hope he did the same cash
out pretty.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Good calling me.

Speaker 9 (24:51):
Gods to a Star is born Ben and he comes
out of Foxborough, mass His name is Drake May okay,
and I folutely love the fact that these other teams,
the Jets and Dolphins, for the past thirty years they
can't find a quarterback and now they had to sit
back and walks greaty for twenty years. Now, for the

(25:12):
next ten to fifteen years, they're going to have a
problem this kid. Now. So that's really all I had
to say today. I'm just amazed by how much this
kid has grown over the past month. I think he
really hit his stride for the Pants. I think he
played the Pants and then something half of that game
and he just explodes ever since. I mean, the kid

(25:33):
is going to be something else in this league.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, well, all right, well believe it. I think what
happened was he's played three but four bad defenses. I
mean it's been good. I mean, you play who's on
the schedule, But I mean I'm not convinced this is
the second Coming yet, Danny. I mean, that is unbelievably soft.
It's like it's like giving someone a diet of marshmallows

(25:56):
and they enjoy the marshmallows, and then you give them
some peanut brittle and you say, all right, now eat
the peanut Burt. Well, no, I'm like, I like the
marshmallows and said, well, no, you gotta eat the peanut.
But well, I'm used to eating marshmallows, and there's a
lot of marshmallows. There's another marshmallow coming up. The Patriots
played the Cleveland Browns in Foxborough is coming weekend and

(26:17):
they're a marshmallows soft and good. Well, we bereat the Dolphins.
That's more about the Dolphins anything else. As far as
the games tonight, we got two games Buccaneers and Lions,
Texans and Seahawks, and the Lions are a six point
favorite now currently a six point favorite over the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, who are ravaged with injury in that game,

(26:39):
and so six and a half six point line. Most
of the money is on the Lions and the Texans
and the Seahawks, and this game in Seattle. Seattle's favored
by three with Sam Donell in a primetime game, and
again most of the money on the side of Seattle.
Let's say hello to Let's go to Mike the Leprecaun.

(27:01):
Who's next, Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.

Speaker 10 (27:04):
I hate Marcello's much in the morning.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
It's not about Marcello. Mar This it's not about Marcel.

Speaker 10 (27:10):
Stop with that, please, I'm marshmellow, Marshmallow.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I thought you said Marcel.

Speaker 10 (27:14):
I thought marcell Dead Duck Dynasty giants Jet suck just
like the dead Duck. But anyway, I was the Ducks
the chicken with Creno. At least the Broncos did win,
even though they didn't win.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
The do you understand we do the But the whole
point of the gambling thing is against the spread. Anyone
can pick games without the point spread, so you can't
take credit for that. They didn't cover the spread. The
Broncos were a touchdown favorite in that game. They didn't
come close to covering. They were down the whole game.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
The Rabbits and the Pats more than cover of the spread.
So next week I'll go against the spread and everything.

Yukon of all teams unlike in the old days in

It was a close one and it was a very
good one for Hour or my Ambassadors and Giants. But
those Denford Broncos and their fans tuck the Giants away.
They will not be eliminated this year. Instead for our Giants.
But when the Giants will play against the Super Bowl
