quarterback in the NFL. Do you believe him? We'll talk
about that. Also, if Phil Belichick Gump Jordan Hudson, would
he get an NFL job? And what's the lesson from
the sideline reporter being banned from the Tennessee Titans chartered
(00:48):
plane for sharing a story from a team flight. We'll

the talk of the town. Welcome in the beginning of
(01:09):
another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We are in the air of reware in alliance as
we give you tasty bites little tasty bites here coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
The vast and enchantingly powerful microphones of FSR am monating
live from the climbing as we undergo sports climate change
on a nightly basis. Don't tell anybody from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios. This portion of the Ben
Malor Show made possible apart by our friends at ti Iraq.
(01:49):
For over forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers like
oh Mo now in Jersey find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protect with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire act dot com the way tire
buying should be, and Dick and Dayton says, hey, what
about Haley On, Well, Dick hold On, Every goal starts
(02:12):
with an assist on and off the field. That's why
Haleyon and US Soccer are launching for the Assist, a
celebration of every day acts of support that help people
achieve their goals with iconic brands like Censinni, Thoms, Voltairean, Advil,
and Centrum. To learn more, go to haley on assist
(02:33):
dot com and I believe. Right over in the corner
of the room, if you look to your right right now,
you can see hollering James saying, hey, hey, dummy, what
about DraftKings. Well, okay, hold on, James, don't call me
a dummy. This show is sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook, an
official sports betting part of the NFL and NBA. As
Tammy and Montana knows right now, use the promo code Matler.
(02:57):
That's m A L L E R. The clan your
special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code mallor at DraftKings,
the crown is yours. We did a full monologue on
the meltdown in Tampa. What a story that is. The
Buccaneers are free falling. They lost to Atlanta Blue a
fourteen point lead. Kyle Pitts was monster mashing for the
(03:20):
Atlanta Falcons. That game alone is going to get Kyle
Pitts a ton of money. The story, though, is in
the Tampa Bay locker room, and what a hot mess
this is. Todd Beholtz called out his players, said it
was inexcusable. Said the losses on the players of the
Bucket hist which of course it is because they were
the ones actually playing the game. There are reports of
(03:43):
Mike Evans who came back and he was having a breakdown.
He walked into the tunnel before the game winning kick
was even made by Atlanta, and several of his other
teams they left the field prior to the game ending
because they were so disgusted. Of course, maybe if they've
played better, not even maybe if they had played better,
(04:03):
they would have had a more enjoyable outcome from that game.
So now the Carolina Panthers, the Carolina f and Panthers
control their destiny and they beat the Saints the Tomato
Cans this weekend the Aints and then beat one two
games left with the Bucks when one of them they're
in as a division champion, but are lead. This hour
(04:25):
is from Bradyville. Philip Rivers is back. All the old
geezer quarterbacks are lined up. Now, hey what about me?
What about me? It's it's hilarious the ego, right you had?
So Philip Rivers is back with the Colts. I saw
Cam Newton as always Colin Kaepernick because he's got to
(04:46):
keep his name out there so he gets some more
money from big corporations. You put his name in the meeting,
like all these guys are there, what about me? What
about me? What about? What about?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
What about?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What about?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
What about? What about? Is them? What about his? So
now Tom Brady, he was asked about this right here
on Fox Sports Radio. Tom Brady popped up with Colin Coward,
my colleague, it's paid slightly more money than me, tom Brady,
forty eight years old, said. When asked about whether or
not he could play, he said yes, He said, I
certainly could. I certainly could. He said, I think the
(05:18):
answer for me would be yes. Of course. He also
pointed out it's not happening, as he's got the job
with Fox and all that, but that is a good
jumping off point. He was asked if he could return
and lead a team to multiple scoring drives and all
that stuff. So the question, tom Brady says, he could, certainly,
certainly could, certainly could still play quarterback in the NFL.
(05:40):
Do you believe him? I'm talking about a high level.
So my take on this, I've got Cotton, Candy, Delilah,
and the Western Wall, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a
big old pile of gabbaghul And then We're gonna have
(06:00):
a side of bob a goodouge, and then we'll have
some We'll have some matsa, We'll have some chicken soup
and some crunchy tacos. We're gonna have all that and
that'll be well, that'll be the meal. That'll be the
meal that we have. So to lead off here, Tom
Brady says in this interview, says, well, I can play,
and let me let me tell you. Of course I
(06:23):
can also run. I don't know the Boston Marathon tomorrow.
If you know, nobody checks to see, I'll be like
that woman. Was it Rosie Ruiz that got in the
subway and went to the end, I'll be that I
could do that, like totally. Here's the thing I've learned
over the years. I don't know a lot. I'm not
that bright I do the Overnight Show. But hypotheticals are
undefeated my entire life. Hypotheticals are undefeated. And the reason
(06:46):
they're undefeated is because you're never wrong. Could Tom Brady play? Absolutely? Could?
He knows how to put on shoulder pads, a jock
strap and all that. Could he play at a high level?
He would last as long as cop in candy in
the rain. Many people forget and I understand why. I
understand why many people forget that if you look at
(07:10):
the full body of work of Tom Brady, you overlook
the scrap book is so thick that he's put together.
The final year in Tampa, busted transmission, busted transmission, the
twenty twenty two tape. Yikes. He had the lowest completion
rate he'd had in a decade. In Tampa. He had
(07:32):
the lowest passer rating in sixteen years. Red zone interceptions
picked sixes in the air everywhere. Tom Brady's arm strength
was melting faster than a nice cone from Dairy Queen
out in August. And the processing it looked like he
was buffering, spinning. It was like the you know, the
(07:55):
beach ball of Doom spinning around there every time the
pocket collapsed that year with the bucceteers. And this wasn't
the vintage Brady from New England. This was Tom Brady
running on Windows ninety five. Now, at the time, Windows
ninety five seemed really good. But that's a long time ago, right,
it's old technology. And now, of course it's a moot
(08:16):
point because Tom Brady is the minority owner of the
dysfunctional Las Vegas side show. Tom Brady is not walking
back through that door. He's not allowed to. He's too
busy turning the once proud Raider franchise into sawdust, literally
into sawdust with his Midas touch in reverse. The Sadam
(08:39):
touch is what it is. It's classic weasel word theater
and it's vintage Tom Brady. Now, furthermore, to the coaching
carousel we go. He goes round and round and round
and round and round, and the coaching cares just like that.
So a report says no NFL team is even considering
hiring Bill Belichick of North Carolina in this coaching cycle.
(09:03):
Holy Spacoli, Batman. So Belichick he's got a buyout which
is like a million dollars. And these NFL owners they
do it. They drop a douce and they make a
million dollars and they don't have to flush. They just
drop a douce. That's a million dollars right there, And
so that's the buyout to leave the tar Hills. Now,
the bigger question is whether anyone actually wants to hire
(09:27):
him after what happened in New England and then obviously
with the North Carolina this year. But there's a series
of controversy that is around him. A lot of this
stuff is because of Jordana and Hudson. In fact, the
chatter is that that's the big problem, that if Belichick
(09:47):
was not with her, that they'd overlook some of this stuff.
They'd be like, all, we can get some good players
and he'll know what to do. And so she's the
stumbling block. So let's ask the question if Bill Belichick,
Belichick wakes up today and say, you know what, I'm
a dumper. I'm done with this relationship and says it's
not you, it's me, And I want to go off
(10:09):
and coach the Tennessee Titans because I was born in
Nashville and I want to go coach the Titans and
I want to make Danny and Nashville lose his mind.
So if Bill Belichick dumped Jordan Hudson, would he get
an NFL job in this coaching cycle, Because it's gonna
be a bunch of coaches to get fired right now,
there's a couple jobs open. They meet, a bunch of
coaches to get whacked, and it could be both coaches
(10:31):
from the game on Thursday night Tampa and Atlanta could
make changes there with Raheem Morris in Atlanta and then
Todd Bowles in Tampa. But to answer the question, I
am shaking my head. No, with my eyes closed, I'm
shaking my head. No, I'm not making that up. I
can go to the YouTube and watch it later. But
Bill Belichick, he could dump Jordan Hudson and it wouldn't matter.
(10:56):
His narrative is so messed up. The idea that that
story that that's the only thing keeping Bill Belichick from
the NFL headset is his twenty four year old female
fatale is a misdirection play. I believe it. No, I don't.
I love the fact that that's part of the story.
There's a term called the Delilah effect, and that's turned
(11:18):
into this morality play. The Delilah It was also a
popular radio show, the Delilah Radio Show for some people.
But Hudson is not helping. I would, I would, obviously,
I'm an idiot. I'm not that dumb, though she's obviously
not helping. No team wants a floozy floating around the
football ops department like a meddlesome mosquito, and Belichick's you know,
(11:42):
he's put that in his world right. And the problem, though,
is not his romance, it's relevance. The hoodie, by all measurement,
looks to be pasted to sell by date, the coaching
equivalent of a carton of milk that's been sitting in
the back of the fridge. And Cam Newton was playing
(12:02):
for the Patriots like it's just a bad, bad situation.
Since twenty twenty Bill Belichick as Patriot coach, he was
twenty nine and thirty eight, a four to thirty three
winning percentage, which I don't think is good. And now
he's in Chapel Hill and he has posted a winning
percentage that is half the sign of the devil. If
(12:22):
you do the mal or math, that's three thirty three.
That's a four and eight record. That's half the sign
of the devil. And NFL learns if Belichick was good,
they would overlook the fact that this Jordan Hudson's there.
They said, who cares? I want him? I don't care.
She can hang out, well, I'll have her do something
nonsense thing and that's that. But the NFL aren't avoiding
(12:43):
Belichick because of her. They're avoiding him because the empire
that he had built it's now operating on like a
rotary phone. It's a rotary phone. It's a five G world.
They're using the rotary phone. It's outdated. It just feels inflexible.
And I was on Belichick's team. I was like the
Belichick guy, Tom, the terrible or terrible Tom used to
(13:06):
get all upset with me because he'd call up and
just scream, well, Belichick, the guy's are terrible. Blah blah
blah blah blah and uh and and all that. It
just seems like Belichick so locked in his ways. We
all get like that as we get old. Theer is
just too stubborn. He doesn't want to change. Now, last
thing to Nashville we go. We have a shake up
(13:27):
because of a plane flight. The Tennessee Titans radio broadcast
will have a I could have a different look. We'll
see how this goes. But the sideline radio reporter someone
I've never heard of. I believe his name is Will Bowling.
I believe might might be Butchering. That might be Butchering.
That his name I know his name is Will. Anyway,
he has been removed from the Tennessee Titan traveling party.
(13:49):
The chartered flights going forward. So if you didn't see
this one, maybe not. I said, who cares about who's
on the plane with the Titans? And I totally get that.
I just thought this was an interesting story. So this
guy will Old Bowling. His offense was to repeat a
story that he witnessed on the trip home from Cleveland
(14:10):
after week fourteen. Now we mentioned this, I believe in passing.
At some point Bowling had shared that the Titans defensive
end arden Key had commandeered the intercom on the plane
to let his teammates know that they should just ignore
the quarterback cam we ass Ward had made if any
(14:35):
camp Ward had said he wasn't you know, they won,
but he wasn't happy and all that stuff. They beat
Cleveland in that game where the Browns decided to bench
Sheder Sanders you might remember, on the two point conversion.
So the question, what is the lesson from the sideline
reporter being banned from the Titans charter plane, you know,
(14:59):
sharing his story because of that, and he got banned.
So this is a sermon from the Church of the Shield,
the Tabernacle of Tackle, the Tennessee Titans excommunicating this guy
from the flying Vatican, and why high crimes and misdemeanors,
high crimes and misdemeanors of reporting, which in today's NFL
(15:23):
gulog you're treated like you've smuggled in plutonium. The lesson
is as old as a legal so and it goes
through all sports leagues. It's not just the NFL, to
be fair, it's I was lucky enough. Early in my career,
I had a job with the Dodgers and I traveled
around with them, and I knew back then before social media.
There was no social media when I was doing it,
(15:45):
and there were rules like, you know, you're going to
see some things that might be pretty dark, and don't
repeat them. And I said, okay, just give me the
free food. And that was it. And I did see
some things that were on the spectrum, shall we say,
and I didn't repeat them because I was told not to.
That was the gig. You're pretty much you're a sock puppet.
It's what you are. You're a decorative hood ornament if
(16:07):
you want to go that direction, and so you become
a house pet. You're expected to wag your tail and
that's it. On command and those planes, those that is
how do I discribe it? It is a sanctuary. It's
like the NFL's Mecca, the Western Wall, the Vatican all
(16:27):
rolled up into one. It's this sacred sanctuary. You know,
you just you don't repeat anything you see there. You know,
truth goes to die. And so he did issue this
guy groveling apology, genuflecting like he knocked over the communion tray.
And he was very apologetic. And you know, if you
(16:50):
work for a team, you're an establishment mouthpiece, is what
I was saying. Man, we goof on and I have
friends that work in the NFL networks. And one of
my great friends I've known since I worked in Sane
and Diego is a big muckety mucket the NFL network,
and I see him a lot during the when I
go to these games or whatever. It's just that's the deal.
When you work for that operation, you are the prov
(17:11):
of the news service of the NFL. If you work
on an NFL broadcast or NBA or baseball, there are
certain things that you're supposed to do. You can't violate
those things. And then that's that. It is the Ben
Mahlor Show. If you'd like to be part, you can
join us right now. How do you do that? Eight, seven, seven, nine, nine, six,

You guys have been great. We gave you a winner
last night, and just my opinion. You know, do what
(17:53):
you want. It's my opinion. I tell you who I
think is gonna win these games, and then you decide
for yourself. But that's on Benny Versus the Penny, and
we give you Atlanta plus the four and a half
points in that game. They didn't even need the points.
They won the game outright, and so Atlanta into the
win column. And we played some audio earlier. Todd Bowles
dropped seven F bombs and four S bombs when he
(18:14):
was asked what he would tell his locker room after
the fourth quarter collapse. And so Tampa Bay that began
the year five and one. They were five and one,
the Buccaneers, and they are now seven and seven. Again,
I don't think that's good. Oh you're being mean. Why
you're being mean? You shouldn't be mean. Okay, I won't
bring it up. I'll just I'll just pretend it didn't happen.
(18:36):
You know, all these losses here and how bad they're playing,
getting sliced up by Kirk Cousins. Holy crap, Kirk Cousins
kick castles. That alone should be a fireballfense should be

Speaker 9 (30:00):
So I have an update for the news story that
we talked.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
About last week. Update update.
Speaker 9 (30:06):
Yeah, so Netflix had agreed to purchase Warner Brothers Discovery
for a price of eighty two point seven billion dollars
and now apparently paramounts like hold on a second, they're
going to try to do a hostile takeover.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's right, that's always wrong.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
Yeah, yeah, so hostile takeovers are only about thirty to
forty percent successful. And what they're trying to do is
they're trying to offer a lot more money. I think
it was one hundred and where's the number here? One
hundred and two billion dollars. But the difference is that
Paramount wants to buy everything that Warner Brothers Discovery has.
(30:44):
And if you remember I mentioned before, Netflix is leaving
the local channels and the sports yeah yeah, yeah, So
they're appealing directly to the shareholders. We'll see what happens
in this battle here of entertainment titans.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
That happened either way, the employees are gonna lose their
job because you don't need double the employees, so a
bunch of people are gonna get whacked. That's how that works.
You'd probably been part of a few takeovers in my
career in radio. It never ends well for the people
that work in the business.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
True that, true that. So we're gonna skip the theaters
this weekend because honestly, there's nothing that I am really
interested in pointing out.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Christmas blockbusters aren't out yet.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Well, they've got like they're releasing The Grinch, like twenty
fifth anniversary so the one from the year two thousand,
that's gonna be back in theaters. And then there's some
other like romance movie that kind of sucks. So I'm
not even gonna bring it up, Okay, But as far
as what's on television this weekend, I do have something
for you. It is a new movie on Netflix. It
(31:47):
is the third Knives Out Mystery movie from Ryan Johnson.
The first two I thought, we're great. They're entertaining movies.
This one's called Wake Up dead Man and Knives Out Mystery,
and it is the like I said, the third Benoit
Blanc who done it installment, and this one's got Glenn Close,
Jeremy Renner, Andrew Scott, Kerrie Washington, Josh Brolin, Mia Kunis,
(32:12):
Thomas Hayden Church a star study cast and it's got
good reviews. So that is available on Netflix right now.
And then of course this one I'm really excited about
on Wednesday, and we see Yesterday, Wednesday, December seventeenth, we
have the return of the hit video game adaptation series Fallout.
(32:32):
This is season two and this one will be based
on Fallout New Vegas that game, so it'll take place

about that. Also, if Phil Belichick Gump Jordan Hudson, would
he get an NFL job? And what's the lesson from
the sideline reporter being banned from the Tennessee Titans chartered
(00:48):
plane for sharing a story from a team flight. We'll

Speaker 2 (01:12):
We are in the air of reware in alliance as
we give you tasty bites little tasty bites here coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
The vast and enchantingly powerful microphones of FSR am monating
live from the climbing as we undergo sports climate change
on a nightly basis. Don't tell anybody from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios. This portion of the Ben
Malor Show made possible apart by our friends at ti Iraq.
(01:49):
For over forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers like
oh Mo now in Jersey find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protect with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire act dot com the way tire
buying should be, and Dick and Dayton says, hey, what
about Haley On, Well, Dick hold On, Every goal starts
(02:12):
with an assist on and off the field. That's why
Haleyon and US Soccer are launching for the Assist, a
celebration of every day acts of support that help people
achieve their goals with iconic brands like Censinni, Thoms, Voltairean, Advil,
and Centrum. To learn more, go to haley on assist
(02:33):
dot com and I believe. Right over in the corner
of the room, if you look to your right right now,
you can see hollering James saying, hey, hey, dummy, what
about DraftKings. Well, okay, hold on, James, don't call me
a dummy. This show is sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook, an
official sports betting part of the NFL and NBA. As
Tammy and Montana knows right now, use the promo code Matler.
(02:57):
That's m A L L E R. The clan your
special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code mallor at DraftKings,
the crown is yours. We did a full monologue on
the meltdown in Tampa. What a story that is. The
Buccaneers are free falling. They lost to Atlanta Blue a
fourteen point lead. Kyle Pitts was monster mashing for the
(03:20):
Atlanta Falcons. That game alone is going to get Kyle
Pitts a ton of money. The story, though, is in
the Tampa Bay locker room, and what a hot mess
this is. Todd Beholtz called out his players, said it
was inexcusable. Said the losses on the players of the
Bucket hist which of course it is because they were
the ones actually playing the game. There are reports of
(03:43):
Mike Evans who came back and he was having a breakdown.
He walked into the tunnel before the game winning kick
was even made by Atlanta, and several of his other
teams they left the field prior to the game ending
because they were so disgusted. Of course, maybe if they've
played better, not even maybe if they had played better,
(04:03):
they would have had a more enjoyable outcome from that game.
So now the Carolina Panthers, the Carolina f and Panthers
control their destiny and they beat the Saints the Tomato
Cans this weekend the Aints and then beat one two
games left with the Bucks when one of them they're
in as a division champion, but are lead. This hour
(04:25):
is from Bradyville. Philip Rivers is back. All the old
geezer quarterbacks are lined up. Now, hey what about me?
What about me? It's it's hilarious the ego, right you had?
So Philip Rivers is back with the Colts. I saw
Cam Newton as always Colin Kaepernick because he's got to
(04:46):
keep his name out there so he gets some more
money from big corporations. You put his name in the meeting,
like all these guys are there, what about me? What
about me? What about? What about?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
What about?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What about?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
What about? What about? Is them? What about his? So
now Tom Brady, he was asked about this right here
on Fox Sports Radio. Tom Brady popped up with Colin Coward,
my colleague, it's paid slightly more money than me, tom Brady,
forty eight years old, said. When asked about whether or
not he could play, he said yes, He said, I
certainly could. I certainly could. He said, I think the
(05:18):
answer for me would be yes. Of course. He also
pointed out it's not happening, as he's got the job
with Fox and all that, but that is a good
jumping off point. He was asked if he could return
and lead a team to multiple scoring drives and all
that stuff. So the question, tom Brady says, he could, certainly,
certainly could, certainly could still play quarterback in the NFL.
(05:40):
Do you believe him? I'm talking about a high level.
So my take on this, I've got Cotton, Candy, Delilah,
and the Western Wall, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a
big old pile of gabbaghul And then We're gonna have
(06:00):
a side of bob a goodouge, and then we'll have
some We'll have some matsa, We'll have some chicken soup
and some crunchy tacos. We're gonna have all that and
that'll be well, that'll be the meal. That'll be the
meal that we have. So to lead off here, Tom
Brady says in this interview, says, well, I can play,
and let me let me tell you. Of course I
(06:23):
can also run. I don't know the Boston Marathon tomorrow.
If you know, nobody checks to see, I'll be like
that woman. Was it Rosie Ruiz that got in the
subway and went to the end, I'll be that I
could do that, like totally. Here's the thing I've learned
over the years. I don't know a lot. I'm not
that bright I do the Overnight Show. But hypotheticals are
undefeated my entire life. Hypotheticals are undefeated. And the reason
(06:46):
they're undefeated is because you're never wrong. Could Tom Brady play? Absolutely? Could?
He knows how to put on shoulder pads, a jock
strap and all that. Could he play at a high level?
He would last as long as cop in candy in
the rain. Many people forget and I understand why. I
understand why many people forget that if you look at
(07:10):
the full body of work of Tom Brady, you overlook
the scrap book is so thick that he's put together.
The final year in Tampa, busted transmission, busted transmission, the
twenty twenty two tape. Yikes. He had the lowest completion
rate he'd had in a decade. In Tampa. He had
(07:32):
the lowest passer rating in sixteen years. Red zone interceptions
picked sixes in the air everywhere. Tom Brady's arm strength
was melting faster than a nice cone from Dairy Queen
out in August. And the processing it looked like he
was buffering, spinning. It was like the you know, the
(07:55):
beach ball of Doom spinning around there every time the
pocket collapsed that year with the bucceteers. And this wasn't
the vintage Brady from New England. This was Tom Brady
running on Windows ninety five. Now, at the time, Windows
ninety five seemed really good. But that's a long time ago, right,
it's old technology. And now, of course it's a moot
(08:16):
point because Tom Brady is the minority owner of the
dysfunctional Las Vegas side show. Tom Brady is not walking
back through that door. He's not allowed to. He's too
busy turning the once proud Raider franchise into sawdust, literally
into sawdust with his Midas touch in reverse. The Sadam
(08:39):
touch is what it is. It's classic weasel word theater
and it's vintage Tom Brady. Now, furthermore, to the coaching
carousel we go. He goes round and round and round
and round and round, and the coaching cares just like that.
So a report says no NFL team is even considering
hiring Bill Belichick of North Carolina in this coaching cycle.
(09:03):
Holy Spacoli, Batman. So Belichick he's got a buyout which
is like a million dollars. And these NFL owners they
do it. They drop a douce and they make a
million dollars and they don't have to flush. They just
drop a douce. That's a million dollars right there, And
so that's the buyout to leave the tar Hills. Now,
the bigger question is whether anyone actually wants to hire
(09:27):
him after what happened in New England and then obviously
with the North Carolina this year. But there's a series
of controversy that is around him. A lot of this
stuff is because of Jordana and Hudson. In fact, the
chatter is that that's the big problem, that if Belichick
(09:47):
was not with her, that they'd overlook some of this stuff.
They'd be like, all, we can get some good players
and he'll know what to do. And so she's the
stumbling block. So let's ask the question if Bill Belichick,
Belichick wakes up today and say, you know what, I'm
a dumper. I'm done with this relationship and says it's
not you, it's me, And I want to go off
(10:09):
and coach the Tennessee Titans because I was born in
Nashville and I want to go coach the Titans and
I want to make Danny and Nashville lose his mind.
So if Bill Belichick dumped Jordan Hudson, would he get
an NFL job in this coaching cycle, Because it's gonna
be a bunch of coaches to get fired right now,
there's a couple jobs open. They meet, a bunch of
coaches to get whacked, and it could be both coaches
(10:31):
from the game on Thursday night Tampa and Atlanta could
make changes there with Raheem Morris in Atlanta and then
Todd Bowles in Tampa. But to answer the question, I
am shaking my head. No, with my eyes closed, I'm
shaking my head. No, I'm not making that up. I
can go to the YouTube and watch it later. But
Bill Belichick, he could dump Jordan Hudson and it wouldn't matter.
(10:56):
His narrative is so messed up. The idea that that
story that that's the only thing keeping Bill Belichick from
the NFL headset is his twenty four year old female
fatale is a misdirection play. I believe it. No, I don't.
I love the fact that that's part of the story.
There's a term called the Delilah effect, and that's turned
(11:18):
into this morality play. The Delilah It was also a
popular radio show, the Delilah Radio Show for some people.
But Hudson is not helping. I would, I would, obviously,
I'm an idiot. I'm not that dumb, though she's obviously
not helping. No team wants a floozy floating around the
football ops department like a meddlesome mosquito, and Belichick's you know,
(11:42):
he's put that in his world right. And the problem, though,
is not his romance, it's relevance. The hoodie, by all measurement,
looks to be pasted to sell by date, the coaching
equivalent of a carton of milk that's been sitting in
the back of the fridge. And Cam Newton was playing
(12:02):
for the Patriots like it's just a bad, bad situation.
Since twenty twenty Bill Belichick as Patriot coach, he was
twenty nine and thirty eight, a four to thirty three
winning percentage, which I don't think is good. And now
he's in Chapel Hill and he has posted a winning
percentage that is half the sign of the devil. If
(12:22):
you do the mal or math, that's three thirty three.
That's a four and eight record. That's half the sign
of the devil. And NFL learns if Belichick was good,
they would overlook the fact that this Jordan Hudson's there.
They said, who cares? I want him? I don't care.
She can hang out, well, I'll have her do something
nonsense thing and that's that. But the NFL aren't avoiding
(12:43):
Belichick because of her. They're avoiding him because the empire
that he had built it's now operating on like a
rotary phone. It's a rotary phone. It's a five G world.
They're using the rotary phone. It's outdated. It just feels inflexible.
And I was on Belichick's team. I was like the
Belichick guy, Tom, the terrible or terrible Tom used to
(13:06):
get all upset with me because he'd call up and
just scream, well, Belichick, the guy's are terrible. Blah blah
blah blah blah and uh and and all that. It
just seems like Belichick so locked in his ways. We
all get like that as we get old. Theer is
just too stubborn. He doesn't want to change. Now, last
thing to Nashville we go. We have a shake up
(13:27):
because of a plane flight. The Tennessee Titans radio broadcast
will have a I could have a different look. We'll
see how this goes. But the sideline radio reporter someone
I've never heard of. I believe his name is Will Bowling.
I believe might might be Butchering. That might be Butchering.
That his name I know his name is Will. Anyway,
he has been removed from the Tennessee Titan traveling party.
(13:49):
The chartered flights going forward. So if you didn't see
this one, maybe not. I said, who cares about who's
on the plane with the Titans? And I totally get that.
I just thought this was an interesting story. So this
guy will Old Bowling. His offense was to repeat a
story that he witnessed on the trip home from Cleveland
(14:10):
after week fourteen. Now we mentioned this, I believe in passing.
At some point Bowling had shared that the Titans defensive
end arden Key had commandeered the intercom on the plane
to let his teammates know that they should just ignore
the quarterback cam we ass Ward had made if any
(14:35):
camp Ward had said he wasn't you know, they won,
but he wasn't happy and all that stuff. They beat
Cleveland in that game where the Browns decided to bench
Sheder Sanders you might remember, on the two point conversion.
So the question, what is the lesson from the sideline
reporter being banned from the Titans charter plane, you know,
(14:59):
sharing his story because of that, and he got banned.
So this is a sermon from the Church of the Shield,
the Tabernacle of Tackle, the Tennessee Titans excommunicating this guy
from the flying Vatican, and why high crimes and misdemeanors,
high crimes and misdemeanors of reporting, which in today's NFL
(15:23):
gulog you're treated like you've smuggled in plutonium. The lesson
is as old as a legal so and it goes
through all sports leagues. It's not just the NFL, to
be fair, it's I was lucky enough. Early in my career,
I had a job with the Dodgers and I traveled
around with them, and I knew back then before social media.
There was no social media when I was doing it,
(15:45):
and there were rules like, you know, you're going to
see some things that might be pretty dark, and don't
repeat them. And I said, okay, just give me the
free food. And that was it. And I did see
some things that were on the spectrum, shall we say,
and I didn't repeat them because I was told not to.
That was the gig. You're pretty much you're a sock puppet.
It's what you are. You're a decorative hood ornament if
(16:07):
you want to go that direction, and so you become
a house pet. You're expected to wag your tail and
that's it. On command and those planes, those that is
how do I discribe it? It is a sanctuary. It's
like the NFL's Mecca, the Western Wall, the Vatican all
(16:27):
rolled up into one. It's this sacred sanctuary. You know,
you just you don't repeat anything you see there. You know,
truth goes to die. And so he did issue this
guy groveling apology, genuflecting like he knocked over the communion tray.
And he was very apologetic. And you know, if you
(16:50):
work for a team, you're an establishment mouthpiece, is what
I was saying. Man, we goof on and I have
friends that work in the NFL networks. And one of
my great friends I've known since I worked in Sane
and Diego is a big muckety mucket the NFL network,
and I see him a lot during the when I
go to these games or whatever. It's just that's the deal.
When you work for that operation, you are the prov
(17:11):
of the news service of the NFL. If you work
on an NFL broadcast or NBA or baseball, there are
certain things that you're supposed to do. You can't violate
those things. And then that's that. It is the Ben
Mahlor Show. If you'd like to be part, you can
join us right now. How do you do that? Eight, seven, seven, nine, nine, six,
(17:31):
six three sixty nine. Also on X at Ben Mahlor.

Also Benny Versus the Band. The Fifth Hour podcast will
be later today, So when you're done with this, you
can go back and do the Fifth Hour podcast. And
Benny Versus the Penny, the numbers keep going up every week.
You guys have been great. We gave you a winner
last night, and just my opinion. You know, do what
(17:53):
you want. It's my opinion. I tell you who I
think is gonna win these games, and then you decide
for yourself. But that's on Benny Versus the Penny, and
we give you Atlanta plus the four and a half
points in that game. They didn't even need the points.
They won the game outright, and so Atlanta into the
win column. And we played some audio earlier. Todd Bowles
dropped seven F bombs and four S bombs when he
(18:14):
was asked what he would tell his locker room after
the fourth quarter collapse. And so Tampa Bay that began
the year five and one. They were five and one,
the Buccaneers, and they are now seven and seven. Again,
I don't think that's good. Oh you're being mean. Why
you're being mean? You shouldn't be mean. Okay, I won't
bring it up. I'll just I'll just pretend it didn't happen.
(18:36):
You know, all these losses here and how bad they're playing,
getting sliced up by Kirk Cousins. Holy crap, Kirk Cousins
kick castles. That alone should be a fireballfense should be
all right. Straight ahead, the Coop scoop on entertainment. Hooray

you're a little mind, all right, Clem, you're a all right.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
So I have an update for the news story that
we talked.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
About last week. Update update.
Speaker 9 (30:06):
Yeah, so Netflix had agreed to purchase Warner Brothers Discovery
for a price of eighty two point seven billion dollars
and now apparently paramounts like hold on a second, they're
going to try to do a hostile takeover.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's right, that's always wrong.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
Yeah, yeah, so hostile takeovers are only about thirty to
forty percent successful. And what they're trying to do is
they're trying to offer a lot more money. I think
it was one hundred and where's the number here? One
hundred and two billion dollars. But the difference is that
Paramount wants to buy everything that Warner Brothers Discovery has.
(30:44):
And if you remember I mentioned before, Netflix is leaving
the local channels and the sports yeah yeah, yeah, So
they're appealing directly to the shareholders. We'll see what happens
in this battle here of entertainment titans.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
That happened either way, the employees are gonna lose their
job because you don't need double the employees, so a
bunch of people are gonna get whacked. That's how that works.
You'd probably been part of a few takeovers in my
career in radio. It never ends well for the people
that work in the business.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
True that, true that. So we're gonna skip the theaters
this weekend because honestly, there's nothing that I am really
interested in pointing out.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Christmas blockbusters aren't out yet.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Well, they've got like they're releasing The Grinch, like twenty
fifth anniversary so the one from the year two thousand,
that's gonna be back in theaters. And then there's some
other like romance movie that kind of sucks. So I'm
not even gonna bring it up, Okay, But as far
as what's on television this weekend, I do have something
for you. It is a new movie on Netflix. It
(31:47):
is the third Knives Out Mystery movie from Ryan Johnson.
The first two I thought, we're great. They're entertaining movies.
This one's called Wake Up dead Man and Knives Out Mystery,
and it is the like I said, the third Benoit
Blanc who done it installment, and this one's got Glenn Close,
Jeremy Renner, Andrew Scott, Kerrie Washington, Josh Brolin, Mia Kunis,
(32:12):
Thomas Hayden Church a star study cast and it's got
good reviews. So that is available on Netflix right now.
And then of course this one I'm really excited about
on Wednesday, and we see Yesterday, Wednesday, December seventeenth, we
have the return of the hit video game adaptation series Fallout.
(32:32):
This is season two and this one will be based
on Fallout New Vegas that game, so it'll take place
in the Mojave Wasteland and New Vegas. The original cast
returns such as Walton Goggins, Kyle McLaughlin, Ela Pernell, and
this season will add Justin Threau and mccullay Culkin.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
