that's an offensive lineman, says the twenty twenty six NFL
season is a kill or be killed season for the Bills.
Curious what you think about this? And Joe Flacco recently

said that he doesn't care about his Super Bowl MVB
trophy or the Super Bowl ring he got with the Ravens.
Is this on point or is this off base?

And we're back at it again this hour our lead
from Dallas. We are just days away from NFL training camp.
(04:31):
Never a bad time to talk about the Cowboys. Gotta
get these in before the Cowboys fall apart, which will
be about the time they put their pads on. And
the at least the cheerleaders have had success. They've had
a lot of championships. The Cowboys football team not so much.
Our lead this hour from Jerry's World. Former Cowboys head
(04:54):
coach Jason Garrett recently said that Dak Prescott is one
of the most underappreciated players in football. Now several pundit's
piggybacked on that from Jason Garrett, championing Dak with the
label as the NFL's most underappreciated quarterback, and their argument
(05:17):
is that the public perception has become so skewed.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
How skewed is it?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's thanks for asking, it's so skewed by the many
postseason pratfalls and stumbles that it's all on Dak Prescott
and it's.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Not on other players, it's all on his overall play.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And they claim the criticism should be aimed at Jerry Jones,
who liked the team so much he bought it and
became the GM and it's unfair. It's not fair that
Dak Prescott gets criticized.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So that is a good jumping off point, and let
us discuss.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
The question does Cowboys quarterback Dakota Prescott qualify qualifies an
underappreciated quarterback? So I've got timekeeper, medieval times, and junk drawer,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(06:24):
we are gonna make a bag. And the bag's gonna
have some fries in it, and then we're gonna have
some gobagool. Gonna have some gobagool and possibly some bobbagose.
Not a kickoff here to answer the question does Cowboys
quarterback Dak Prescott qualify as underappreciated? You gotta be joking
(06:48):
right now. The former coach Jason Garrett defending Dak. It's
kind of like a movie producer or I guess a
director in Hollywood defending the star actor who blew the
final scene of their film.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Of course he's going to say it wasn't Dak's fault.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Jason Garrett wants to make more movies and he knows
he needs to be positive towards the friend the star.
And if this was court, Jason Garrett's testimony would be
inadmissible because he is a biased witness, too close to
the defendant as a co worker and friend. Buddy, Buddy Buddy,
(07:31):
their buddies there together. Now the reality is, and you know,
I don't beat around the bush and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
We give it to you like it is.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Dakota has been the face of every Cowboy playoff stumble
and bumble. He has been bedraggled in big games for
the better part of a decade. Dak has made three
hundred million dollars from Jerry Jones and has two playoff wins.
He's two and five. I believe that's a two to
(08:00):
eighty six winning percentage. In fact, when the Cowboys don't
win a playoff game this year, Dak Prescott will set
the all time record for the most consecutive years as
a quarterback starting in the NFL without reaching a conference
championship game. So congratulations to Dak. You're you're on your
(08:20):
road to history. And Jerry has paid him one hundred
and fifty million dollars per playoff win. To me, and
I might be wrong on this where I come from,
if somebody pays you three hundred million dollars, you're appreciated.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
That's kind of what it sounds like to me.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You know what Dak is, He's the timekeeper, and I'll
tell you what it's like clockwhere. We have some great
traditions here in America. Every February mid February, Punk Satani
Phil comes out and says it's going to be cold,
you suckers, and.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Goes back to the borough. Goes back to the borough
every March.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Every March, the Swallows are supposed to return to Capistrano,
and every January, Dak Prescott delivers another playoff oopsy oopsie
getting exposed, getting pantsed by some random team. In fact,
the only thing getting more exposed are the only fans
models every year other than DK, So Dak is not underappreciated.
(09:20):
I would argue he's over explained.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Every year, the Marching and Chowder Society of the brown nosers,
the suck ups, the jock sniffers. Every year it's excuse, excuse, excuse,
And so Dak has appreciated exactly how much a quarterback
who keeps face planting and having a trapdoor open up
(09:48):
into a pit of vipers every postseason should be appreciating,
all right. Furthermore, to wear the Buffalo roam, and we
bring up the words of wisdom talking about offensive lineman
and what they say. Bill's left tackle Dion Dawkins, he
said the twenty twenty six season for the football team
(10:10):
in upstate New.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
York is kill or be killed. Those are his words.
He described it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
As the defining moment, defining moment of Buffalo after years
of coming up just a little bit short, just a
little bit short.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Dawkins compared the situation of the Buffalo franchise to the
climax of a movie, saying, the castle gets a little
shaky before a major turning point. He's talking about the
coaching change there. The Bills enter the upcoming NFL season
under first year head coach Joe Brady, replacing Sean McDermott,
(10:48):
who was fired after Buffalo's latest playoff loss. Now Dawkins
embracing the leadership of the new coach. They're saying that
the team has a new tour sparer, that's quote and
everyone must rally behind him. And he combined it the
mindset to the Warriors in the movie three hundred. So
(11:11):
the question Dion Dawkins, that's an offensive lineman in Buffalo,
says the twenty twenty six NFL season is kill or
be killed for the Bills. Now, I'm curious what you
think about this? All right, so I'll go here and Dawkins,
I don't believe he's wrong about the message. So he's
(11:35):
not wrong about the messaging. The issue here is the calendar.
He's a year late. He's a year late. And when
I say that, Dawkins, Dean Dawkins is saying the twenty
twenty six season his killer be killed for the Bills. However,
the real blood bath was in twenty twenty five. That
was the year Buffalo handed Sean McDermott a Medieval times
(11:57):
style honor killing. To protect what's left of the prestige
of the Buffalo football team. They sacrificed sacrifice Sean McDermott
into a volcano.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And now Dawkins is not running.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Deon Dawkins is not running from the Pressure's cranking up
the heat and the boiling college.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And good for him.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That said, Let's keep it real. Buffalo's crisis is not upcoming.
It's ongoing, close enough to smell, it too far to taste.
Kind of like Jimmy Johns. The smells are free, got
to pay for the food. And they talk like spartans,
but not Michigan State spartans. The Bills often play just
(12:37):
good enough to lose. They're waiting for a rewrite, script rewrite,
and every year is their year, every single year.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
At some point you actually have to be that team.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And you know that, and I know that not much
will change even if the Bills go out there and
drop another giant wet fart in the NFL. They were
passed by by the Patriots during the regular season last
year and then still managed to work their way to
an opportunity to get to the big stage. And then
(13:12):
what happened in Denver. I didn't go so well, I
didn't go so well. There you got Josh Allen, former
MVP quarterback. He's the rock, the bedrock of that. And
if the Bills do end up doing what they usually do.
They can just change coaches again, or they'll finally get
rid of the general manager. Regardless, the core of the
roster is Josh Allen and he's.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Not going anywhere. He'll be there. They'll change the players
around him. That is that all right? Last thing to
us since Naty, we go beautiful city, good people there
at Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So Joe Flacco, who I believe is still toiling as
the backup quarterback for the Bengals, Flacco revealed in a
recent episode of the Netflix quarter Back Show that his
Super Bowl forty seven MVP trophy has been sitting at
his father's house for twelve to thirteen years, calling it
(14:12):
quote tarnished as heck, he said, because no one has
bothered to polish or display it now. Flacco went on
to say that he when he won all of these honors,
he expected the trophy in the Super Bowl ring would
mean a lot more over time. But that's right, you
know what that means, he admitted that quote. You ultimately
(14:33):
don't care about it, Flaco said, adding that the championship
ring is a little more meaningful because his kids enjoy
occasionally looking at it now. These social media critics were
offended by this. How dare you not worship the Championship
ENVP Trophy, the Super Bowl ring? That's a bad attitude, Joe,
(14:56):
bad job by you question Joe Flacco saying that he
doesn't really care about the Super Bowl MVB trophy or
the ring for the Ravens from back in the day.
Is this on point or off base? So I'm gonna
be Benny Brightside for Joe Flacco. It's not only on point,
but it's also on brand. Entirely on brand. Joe Flacco
(15:21):
has always been the NFL's patron saint of I'm just
here to sling it, boys.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
That's all. I'm just here to slinging.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I'm not worried about your TikTok and your Instagram.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
And all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And I'm not worried about doing podcasts my own no drama,
no real self promotion, no curated legacy, which is not great.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's better as a talk show host when guys are like,
look at me, and they.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Smell themselves and they navel gaze like, that's always good
for my job.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And most of these athletes, let's face it, are total
ego maniacs.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
They love themselves, they love to talk about themselves, and
so it's it's rare you find someone like Joe Flacco.
I remember when I was covering baseball years ago, he
was a guy named Tony Gwynn who was just like that.
They played for the Padres, Mister Podrey, Tony Gwinn and
he was the antithesis.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Now, there was no social.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Media when he was around, and all that. He didn't
care about the attention and all that. He's well, he
loved San Diego because nobody paid attention. They had one
beat writer from the Union Tribune and you know, fat
asses like me who were working in San Diego radio
at the time, and he was just doing his thing,
you know. And Joe Flacco reminds me of that mindset.
And yeah, the twenty twelve playoff run, which he was
(16:34):
an absolute supernova, and it's.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Been a while.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I don't know we'll ever see that again in our lifetimes.
Over eleven hundred yards passing eleven touchdowns, no interceptions. The
physical hardware, eh, you know, the Super Bowl ring is
probably rotting in a junk drawer right next to those
expired warranties, coupons and old iPhone chargers and some keys.
(16:58):
But you don't really know where the key and the
ugly truth is he's not wrong, the all encompassing point,
he's not wrong. The league has turned championship rings into
cheap marketing props, and between endless custom replica and knockoffs.
The actual physical object of the ring has lost its mystique.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It has.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's more from what was supposed to be a sacred
relic to just.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
A kind of dusty collectible fact.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Right now, if you go on the interweb again, you
can find a bunch of actual Super Bowl rings from
people that played in these games, and they're selling them now.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
They're not cheap, but you can get them.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Joe Flacco, he knows, and this is something you only
learn as you get older. It's one of those things
in life that you really even if you think you know,
you don't know. You can say, hey, I'm all about
this as a person, But it's not until you start
have peeping people around you dropping dead that you realize
the only thing that really matters is a time and
(18:08):
relationships and things like that, much more than these little trinkets,
because you ain't taking them with you, not going anywhere
you're going, whether that's the ground or Heaven or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
They're not going so anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
In an era manufactured by the brand, you gotta have
a brand, gotta do it, gotta have a platform.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Oh I need my platform.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
This guy's seems genuine. There's this indifference. I actually find
it refreshing. Not that I want too many guys. I
don't want too many guys like that, but I do
like the fact that he has this mindset. It stands
out like a really sore infected thumb, is what it
sounds like. So Ben Malors Show, if you'd like to

history is Karl Malone, never won, and John Stockton was
one of the all time great point guards, never won.
Charles Barkley one of the great players of all time,
never one. It does happen, Keith writes in he says,
instead of the gabba gool, can we have some tazek sauce?
(22:29):
Everyone saw we tossed out some Suzekie sauce? Are you
tired of the gabba gul Keith? If you had too
much gabbagool, you might want to check with Tilio in Flora.
And if I stopped saying the gabbagool, Tilio is gonna
come hunt me down here and it's gonna be ugly.
Alf from the Alf the Alien opinter from the Commonwealth

(22:52):
slow news day when.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You have to rely on Joe Flacco for content.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
How about a monologue about the clock management fiasco resulting
in extra time for the mallet polos. Well, that was
not that was not a clock management situation. That is
a byproduct of of the show being popular and street
where donpe be.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
But that's a third rail apparently, my man, it's a
third rail. But I completely agree. You can take care
of it, you limit the damage. Instead, they don't take
care of it and the whole city burns down. So
they're idiots.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Well, you guys don't have water and Johnny pumps that's
what happened last year.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, there is water available if they would use it,
they could use actual water. Maybe they didn't go on
trips to Africa. They might be able to do it.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But that's a different conversation. And it's not political, my man.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
It's not.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
No, it's not political, not But he who wants to
walk outside and you're like in like a giant bottlecue
going on? Right, it's ridiculous, man, it's crazy. And the
mask of coming back act as usual because it's smoke.
You know, Well we're smoky the bed when you need
and that's that's the end of that.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Only you can prevent forest fires only, right, Steven Manhattan,
Are there any are there any forest fires in Manhattan.
There haven't been forest fires. And men don't have to
worry about that in Manhattan, nod. So, what happened with
that building? That building that was it was too hot
and the building was starting to like kind of sway
back and forth and some things in the middle.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Whatever happened with that.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Well, what happened with that is simple. In Manhattan, the
people don't know a lot of the office buildings because
the people are too lazy to go into work. They
work from home. I don't care. I called that twenty
years ago. I said, listen, people could work from home.
And but the thing is they start converting them to residential.
But you've got to have the right type of steel
(27:51):
beams in there to take the extra load because residential
buildings have more loads in them, right, you know, got
more bathrooms. I don't want to make a joke or anything.
Put the steel started collapse, and they were lucky that
af You guys actually saw the steel collapse, and you
don't see that. That's not something you see maybe in
the movies or something.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I know, it was pretty crazy. It was pretty crazy.
What else you got, Steve, If you want.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
To take a call yeah, definitely take a call.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
All right, Steven Manhatt, say hello to Poppy in San Diego.
Hello Poppy in San Diego, Hello Poppy. Poppy is not
paying any attention. He's doing his things, So put him
on hold. I don't know, maybe fall asleep, I don't
hear me. On there, Let's go to Mike the lepreca On.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Who's next? Hello, Mike the e lepreca On, Welcome.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Good morning Steve.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
I'm a big fan of your Steve.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
We had smoke here, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Right, well it's technically technically it's different smoke.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Technically it's not.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
It's all coming down from Canada. But regardless, Steve, I'm
a big fan of yours. Who's to win the World
Cup on Sunday?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Why you know something, Leperchon, This is gonna disappoint you.
I did have the two teams that are in it
to win that. I said they were gonna win those
two games. But the thing is, when Steve from Manhattan
picks a team big money moves, I had to stop
telling you. I'm telling you, I had to stop making.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
You're gonna you're gonna clog your toilet, all right, stop.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
You're just so you were just talking about Joe Flacco. Right,
that's the last time I made a prediction on the
radio when the host he begged me to say, and
I said, Big Joe is going to have his last
big game on Sunday and he's gonna win the super Bowl.
That was the last time, because I well, I was I.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Was the guy in twenty twelve on the radio saying, well,
he's due for a bad game. He's due for there's
no one's gonna play this well that you know that
many weeks in a row.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
And then yeah, so.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Well mean that. Wait a minute, now, are the Giants
gonna place play San Diego in the Super Bowl with
the two brothers again?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
That would be something they played San Diego in the
Super Bowl, that would be very impressible. All right, I listen,
I I well, Michael Leperk, you I know you want
to make your pick. Go ahead, make you a little pick.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
It's Argentine is gonna win. You're gonna be bummed out.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I know, no, No, Spain's gonna win because you know,
because defense beats offense.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And you're wrong. And I'll tell you why you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I've seen the blueprint and it's already it's already laid
out that they're gonna they're gonna win. So Argentina is
gonna win Messi. They've got the commercial already in the can.
It's gonna air right after the World Cup. Messi walks
off a winner, his final World Cup unless he gets
more of the good stuff and plays in four years.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
But probably not. He's thirty nine, so unlikely. Let's go
to Marcel be my big voice guy. Marcell. You know
what time it is.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
We killed it on the Malla Palooza twenty twenty sixth
gitch job by you, Marcel.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
What what was that?
Speaker 7 (31:28):
That's why entertainment tonight's meme?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh oh that is the entertainment thing.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, yeah, okay, who's your favorite entertainment Tonight host Marcel
all Mary Harty.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right enough, Mary still still loves the Dodgers. She
still goes out to those Dodger games. God bless her.
All right, go ahead there, that was great? All right?
Speaker 8 (31:50):
So uh this week, and I'm gonna start with a
entertainment story, a news update if you will, Ben.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You know news.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
Yes, Now, this requires a little bit of background, especially
for you, because I'm sure you don't know anything about this.
So there is a famous video game series called God
of War. I don't know if you've heard of that one.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I've heard of God and I've heard of War, but
I have not heard of that.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
All right.
Speaker 8 (32:14):
So in the video game, you play as Krados, this
kind of like you know, Demi god, and you you
fight all of the other like Norse and Greek gods.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Anyway, Amazon made this into a TV show.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
They released photos from you know, the first look kind
of teaser photos back in February of the character as Credos,
and the reaction was bad. People were not liking it.
They're like, this guy is not like ripped enough to
be like a you know, god destroyer. He just doesn't
really like look the part. People thought he just looked weak,
(32:54):
and so this whole backlash. Now, yesterday a new story
came out that said God of War Shocker creatives actor
Ryan Hurst recast after on set injury. So the news
story says that he tore his bicep and that has
caused them to need to recast the role.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Did they put a wink wink in there at the end,
That's what I was saying.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
I was like, do we really think that's what happened here?
Or were they like, hey, look man, you know, in
order to not embarrass you will come up with something.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, but you're out, Well, why wouldn't that That happens
all the time in sports?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
So why would it not happen with that?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, it just makes sense.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Well we'll cover for you. Don't worry about it, you know.
And yeah, all right, right, just from what you've told me.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
And I have no knowledge, I'm totally uneducated, I completely
agree that.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Good good, All right.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
So that is the That is the latest with the
God of War series on Amazon Prime now going over
to theaters. The only thing worth mentioning this weekend, of course,
is Christopher Nolan's the Odyssey.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
That's what everybody's talking about so far.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
The reviews from both critics and audience alike are through
the roof ninety six percent on Rotten Tomatoes on both
of those. Obviously, the best way to see it, if
you can, is seventy millimeters IMAX. If you don't have
tickets already, you're not going to be seeing it this weekend.
It is completely sold out. They opened up three am
(34:23):
showings at CityWalk at Universal and those are sold out.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Noah, yeah, it's sure.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
So it's gonna do a little better than Supergirl.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yeah, yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
Somebody sent me a story from one of the trade
papers how like Supergirl, they spent one hundred and seventy
million on it, and I think, you know, it's already
been out for a while and I think they've lost
over fifty.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Million dollars or something like that, some ridiculous amount of motion.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Yeah I can.
Speaker 8 (34:52):
I can go see movies for free with my unlimited pass,
and I didn't go see it.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
So it's not a great song.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Yeah, not a goot.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Yeah, not at all.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
And then last, but not least on Sunday or old On,
is it Sunday. No, it is on Tuesday. Tuesday, Juice
Jay twenty first. Bill Maher is getting honored with the
Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center.
