Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber four, our four at
the door and the story in Kansas City where Patrick
Mahomes came out defended Travis Kelsey this week by saying,
the chiefs tight end is getting triple teamed. How do
you react to mahomes explanation for the poor play by
(00:20):
his tight end? Also, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones
says Mike McCarthy can absolutely guide the Cowboys through these
what he called growing pains. Does this count as a
vote of confidence? Also, Antonio Pierce says he stands by
his business decisions. Comment with the Raiders, how does that
(00:43):
vibe with you? We'll get to all that and more
right now. Have a wonderful Tuesday, the twenty fourth day
of September. Here it is our number four on one hand,
very visible, on the other hand, completely invisible. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
(01:05):
We are in the air everywhere teammates as we provide

ten thousand days since he quit the show because he
got was it married? I think he got married to
a much younger lady friend there. And one of the
deals was he had to leave the show just to
love the show. He left the show. He said, that's it.
(02:09):
I'm out, can't be part of the show, all right.
So I lead this hour from the NFL, and we'll
work our way back through what happened on Monday. And
I will tell you, just if you didn't see the
games last night, you're up early. As many people tell me.
You reach out to me, say hey, I get up earlier.
I hear the five am hour, the eastern five am hour.
I don't hear the rest of the show. So we
(02:29):
had two Monday night games last night. Jaden Daniels out
played Joe Burrow. Holy crap. Yeah, he outplayed Joe Burrow.
Great game, a lot of offense, no defense and literally
no defense, no puns, no turnovers in Washington. Do give
Cincinnati the lost. The Bengals are zero to three, and
(02:50):
what happened to all the You can't play rookie cornerbacks.
You have to sit them down.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's a great debate, for example, with the Patriots and
Drake May. It's like, well, he'll be better if you
don't play him. Okay, Well, Jaydon Daniels looked, looked pretty good,
looked pretty pretty good, and he's not somebody that sat
at all. Started from go and then the other game.
The Bills now being hyped. They're one of the favorites
to get to the Super Bowls. They dominated took a
(03:17):
part blew to smither Reens, Trevor Lawrence, Doug Peterson and
the Jacksonville slash London Jaguars. But our lead this hour
is from Cannsau City, the home of the Ben Mathern
chicken fingers at the landing there and the Chiefs, the
running back to back champs. They're off to the three
(03:39):
and zero start, but there is a snaffoo that has
people buzzing. So Travis Kelcey, a bit player, that's all
he's been. He's everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
He's all over TV, every commercial, He's got the game show,
TV show, movies, podcasts, everything media. But in terms of
(04:03):
the context of football, you saw this on Sunday night,
not the centerpiece of what Kansas City is doing. They've
got the speed racer literally and figuratively, Rashie Rice, who
is the centerpiece of that offense. But the face of
the franchise has chimed in on the diminishing returns of
(04:23):
one Travis Kelsey. What did he say? We know, We'll
tell you so, Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie. Patrick Mahomes explained that
Travis Kelcey has not been involved in the passing attack
for the Chiefs because of all of the extra attention
(04:44):
that he is receiving that the defense is king in
on that. Mahomes said. The quote respect factor, those are
his words. That teams have for Travis is just unreal,
he said. The Kansas City quarterback also saying that teams
are defense Kelsey with two or three people. Okay, so
(05:05):
let us discuss Patrick Mahomes running like a night in
shining armor to defend his tight end Travis Kelcey this
week by saying that the Chiefs tight end is getting
triple team. How do you react to that explanation by Mahomes.
(05:25):
So I've got PBS room temperature and waist deep and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to freeze in the snow, is what we're
going to do. So to kick off here, now, I've
read the comments from Mahomes. I didn't hear the audio.
(05:46):
I think he did this on the on the radio,
but I heard the I read the transcript of what
he said, and the way it read to me is
by the book, right, by the book. These guys are friends,
I get it. They're part of the fratern order of
the NFL. You never trash a teammate publicly, and if
you do it, you're called the douchebag and all that.
(06:06):
But did you really expect Mahomes to take time out
from his interview to grab a shovel in Barry Travis
Kelsey when his wife is desperately trying to be besties
with Taylor Swift, you know, trying hard as hard as
she can to be best friends with Taylor Swift. So
it's not an option we knew that was not an option,
(06:28):
So mahomes, I call it the PBS, the Bob Ross
paint by numbers plan. Go to sports cloche dot com,
I contribute to that website and stand by your man.
That's the battle plan. Forget the fact that Kelsey and
I don't think I'm wrong on this has been double
and triple team for the last two or three years
(06:49):
and has still been able to have big games where
you're not supposed to talk about that part. Right, It's
never been a problem up until now. Now Todd McShay,
who used to be a big deal at ESPN and
they got whacked now he implied that the reason Chelsea
sucks right now is he's not in shape. We brought
(07:10):
this up like a week ago. We brought this up
in conversation, and it seems rather obvious he's not in shape.
How could he be. We always hear that as athletes
get older and they get to their mid thirties, you
have to work even harder, and they had to put
extra work in, and he's just getting older.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You're not old in the real world, but in the
sports world, you're getting old. So Travis Chelsea is in
his mid thirties. Now what do we know. Do you
think he put the extra work in or was he
jet setting all over the world and living in the
rock star life through his lady friend. He thinks that
was the case. But hey, I keep hearing. Wait, he's
(07:52):
going to have a breakout game. Okay, he did last
year in the playoffs. He wasn't great in the regular season,
getting double in triple team, then the playoffs, and I
recall Kelsey being the old Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Furthermore, we go to Dallas where Stephen Jones has popped
on the radio this week and says that Mike McCarthy
the Cowboys off to the one and to start, Mike McCarthy,
the head coach, can absolutely guide the terrible Cowboys through
the He called it growing pains. Does not count as
(08:27):
a vote of confidence, the words of Stephen Jones, So
it sounds like it to the untrained here, it sounds
like a vote of confidence. I would say. The temperature
is room temperature. It's temping at best, and it's not
even really a legitimate vote of confidence. And the reason
it's not is Stephen Jones does not have the power
(08:49):
to issue a legitimate vote of confidence. He is the spawn, right,
he does not have the keys to the kingdom, not yet.
He's gonna get them. But for him to get him
the grim Reaper, and he's going to have to pay visit.
Jerry Jones is the only one. The buck stops with him.
He's the only one that will decide the future of
(09:10):
lame duck coach Mike McCarthy. Now, fortunately for Mike McCarthy,
Jerry Jones has become a mister softy over the years.
As long as people are talking about the Cowboys, that's
all Jerry cares about. He's a Carnival Barker, right, That's
all he cares about. And so he's more than happy
(09:31):
to reward mediocrity was my evidence. I would have example
a Dak Prescott. That would be my example if you
want Ceedee Lamb. Although Ceedee Lamb has been a good
regular season play but again it comes down to playoff performance.
And typically that's when the Cowboys season quickly ends in
playoffs because they don't show up all. Right, Now, last thing,
(09:53):
here we go now to lost Wages, Nevada, where Antonio
Pierce is standing by his man. No, he's standing by
himself now Antonio Pierce, who I like, I'm pulling for
this guy, and he's making it very hard for me
the way the Raiders played against Carolina on Sunday to
pull for him, but he says he stands by his
business decision commentary with the Raiders. He said, some guys
(10:16):
made business decisions. Now Internet investigators who have been trying
to get to the bottom of this, and there's a
bunch of video clips of certain Raider defenders who are
not tackling, who were letting up on the plays, et cetera.
But how does all this vibe with you? Antonio Pierce
saying he is standing by his business decision commentary, so
(10:38):
it is necessary and I support it. I like it.
I'm a talk show host, of course I like it.
He didn't name names, though, that's see. Here's the thing.
He said that this is what's going on, but I'm
not gonna name names. But he is going to name names.
And here's how I know he's gonna name names, because
there is no excuse on God's Green Earth to be
(11:02):
blown out at home by the rotting carcass of Andy Dalton. Now,
it's one thing. If the game had been closed and
I thought the game would be close. I picked on
the TV show, I picked Carolina plus the points. Did
I think that the Raiders could lose that game in
a ball No? I did not. But they got blown
to smithereens they were not there. And that only happens
(11:24):
if you are unmotivated, if you are indifferent, And that
is a reflection of the coach and Antonio Pierce his
whole claim to fame. It sounds like he's the motivator
type coach. He's the guy that will players will run
through a wall for him. And not only would they
not run through a wall, they wouldn't even lay down
(11:46):
and eat and drink a cocktail is what they would do.
And so after beating the Ravens, the Raiders found themselves
waist deep in the mud against Carolina. Now, as we
said in a previous male of monologue, they left around
and they're about to find out. And they're about to
find out because even though Antonio Pierce did not name anyone,
is it true, we are going to know who who
(12:10):
he thinks decided not to hustle in that last game.
You see, they have these things called stats that track
how many plays players get, snap counts, who's starting, who's
not starting, how many chances they get during the game.
And so when the Raiders take the field this weekend
against the preebe quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Brownies, the
(12:32):
guys that aren't getting as much playing time, it's connect
the dots. Obviously, those are the players that Antonio Pierce
was referencing. And so we're gonna know. We're gonna know
this weekend. If you're curious, we'll know who Antonio Pierce
was talking about because he will not play them as much.
And that's the way it's gonna go. It is the
Ben Mahlor Show, the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like
(12:55):
to be part speak easy rules are in effect. There
are a couple of lines open. We'll take your calls
if you would like to be part of the program.
Straight ahead. Can you imagine failing at something and then
getting promoted, like being bad at social media and being promoted.
It actually happens all the time. I remember Odell Beckham,
(13:17):
his father started trashing Baker Mayfield and the Browns, and
then Odell Beckham got let go and went to the
Rams and won the Super Bowl. Well, another player in
the NFL has used social media and is falling upwards.
But who is it? You'll find out. We'll get to that,
and we will do it next.

in he said, Josh Allen's disrespect is how is it disrespect?

You did sometimes you're so.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Much he remember do you remember the guy? You remember
the guy we used to have called slice bread that
would call the show years ago. And then we had
the remember the coach at Texas and do we have
that slice bread drop from the old coach at Texas
A and M. There, No, we don't have a remember
he had went on a ram because there was a
guy slice Bread. That's your old Florida State coach by
(16:13):
the way back in the day, Slice Bread.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I mean, finally work comes fright?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
What come on? No?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It was he was at Florida State and then he
went to Texas A and M. And then he's now
making a lot of money to not coach and he
got all upset because a guy on the internet named
slice Bread ripped him and.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I wouldn't started second, that's where it.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Is, slice bread. Let me find out where it comes from. Yeah,
do you know where sliced bread comes from?
Speaker 5 (16:44):

Speaker 1 (16:44):
A loaf? That's Jimbo Fisher said? Great? Great, Now would
you take here's a question, would you take Jimbo Fisher

take Jimbo Fisher back?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Dude, I'd take you back so fast right now. I
was taking me to dis coordinatort. What I got really
said that the first trunk call is about seventeen minutes ago.
You ship quickly, And then I realized, if I just
don't go stupid, you know, I'm making it. I'm making
the woof po Blairtown. You call him woope By like
it's his first name. They would call me jed who
If you don't mind, I would appreciate that greatly. Yeah, okay,
(17:25):
all right, that was the point.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All right, thank you, go away. Uh Andrea is in
Berkeley and will she attend one of the final home
games of the Oakland Athletics. Just a couple of games left,
that's it and then they're gone.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Yes, Hi, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
If I was any better, I would be a seat
at the coliseum. But no, I wouldn't because how many
of those seats are going to be ripped out of
the coliseum on Thursday?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I know, you know, I'm glad you said that. Then
I have a friend who's an usher there. He's a
league of mind. We do the podcast together, and he
said the exact same thing. He said, you know, it
looks like you know, we looked at the charts, obviously,
the astrology, and he said, it looks really confrontational and
kind of violent and it's like, oh gosh, well, you know,
(18:16):
it might be a bit of a rampage. I mean,
not that I could blame the fans. And you know
that letter. I saw that and a couple of local
newspape people would you know, really upset about you.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yes, they are preparing for civil unrest. And you listen
in California right now, they can't stop people from stealing
stuff from stores. How are they going to stop people
from tearing up seats at a baseball stadium? You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
I do, I know exactly what you're saying. Yeah, and
John Fish's astrology, you know, curiously enough Gemini June one,
nineteen sixty one. And as you may know, you know
the families from the people that own the gap. And
here's the thing about Gemini, and they talk like out
of both sides of their mouth. Sometimes it's like cancer
(19:01):
and pollocks the twins. They say one thing, they change
their mind. They're just not reliable. I mean in his case,
you know, they're certainly not. And they're just kind of
noncommittal and indecisive.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And yeah, but but John Fisher is a weasel. He
in that letter, he's like he claimed it was Major
League Baseball's fault and that's why they had had to lead.
But really what it was is that they were going
to cut off the corporate as I said, food snamps
that the A's have been getting, and so they wanted
that free money. And it's going to continue, as I
(19:33):
understand in Sacramento at least for a couple more years now,
because they announced their movie.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Well you know what's interesting, I think actually heard it
on your show, might have been Scott foris the scorpio
that they don't want their players to play there because
in the artificial turf and.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
They yeah, they say it's gonna be too hot there.
But yeah, well, back in the old days, he used
to play in these terrible stadiums in Saint Louis and
AstroTurf stadiums in Saint Louis Cincinnati during the summer. And
I remember when as a kid and I watched games
on TV and the temperature on the field would be
like one hundred and twenty degrees and they play. But
now the modern player is so bougie. I don't think
(20:09):
they can get away with that today. Like back in
the day, you could get away with it, But now
the guys will say we're not playing, they'll be There'll
be enough people.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Yeah, so you know it should be interesting because that
John Fisher goodbye letter really did not go over well
with the fans.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And yeah, that was unnecessary, erry unnecessary. That's pouring salt
on an open wound, is what it's doing.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Yes, exactly, had the opposite effective.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And by the way, I don't some people are saying,
what's fear mongering? What the a's are saying about civil
unrest at the game on Thursday. I don't think it is.
I think that's just preparing for an event that is
likely going to happen. And if you're wrong, maybe you're wrong.
But uh, from what I understand that there are people
planning on going there to get a bunch of collectibles
out of the coliseum because that's it. They's all. That's
(20:55):
the last team left. They're done.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
It's like, oh, for the best, affair for the worst.
And on an energetic level, there's so much anger band,
there's so much sadness. So I think left to their
own devices, you know, I couldn't really blame the fans.
I mean, I'm still debating whether I'm going to go
or not because this is sort.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Of Yeah, I would go on Wednesday. I don't know
that I would.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Go on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I don't know if I go on Thursday. The last
games on Thursday, and am.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
I it's a day game, which is interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, so that's good. You can get your seat and
get home before before it starts. All right, I gotta go.
Thank you Andrew let us know though he just posted, Yeah,
all right. There's Andrew the astrology lady virgo in service
on X and she is a longtime A's fan, but
she's debating does she want to go out there? I
(21:45):
think it's po'd be all right, but you know, as
long as you're not a seat, they might rip that out.
But as long as you're not that Eugenie is Chicago, right,
so and he says, hey, Ben the Padre. Now, Eugene's
a Chicago sportsman, but he's pulling for the Padres to
beat the dog Rodgers because he's a hater. He says,
it's now or never. We need all three against the
(22:06):
Doyers because we want that number one s in the
divisional race. I still believe in you, San Diego all right,
good luck on that. Hey, DraftKings has the tools to

(22:50):
I go back and forth. I love that your Bronco
reppin over there.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
That's what you'd call this.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, I thought it was a Bronco sweater, is it not?
Like the Philadelphia Fly is an orange sweater, and I'm
dog that's definitely Broncos orange.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I mean, just because of Broncos orange, it means a
Broncos sweater.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Coops of Bronco fan boy. So yeah, yeah, were a
Saints fan, Saints fan, you know, so a Lions fan.
You didn't become a Lions fan when you moved to Detroit.
You didn't pick up the Lions.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
See, Ben, I'm a man of respect, and I, like
many others, made the decisions that I made at seven
years old.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
They entirely determine how I feel.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Plus your friends with Rob Parker, and Rob loves to
bash the Lions. That's he's his hobby to bash the Lions.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
It worked out portly for him last year. We were
on thanks They're frauds Bedford Right.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Then comes the Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
They were just in the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
It seemed good at the time, though it seems good at.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
He's supposed to be in Mexico by now. I think
Tom Brady won a Super Bowl. He said he was
going to lift and move to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I did. I filled in on local Austin radio, and
at that time when Rob was doing the morning show,
like it was a slow day, it was like Rob
ripping Tom Brady was be a top.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
It was every day he was ripping Tom Brady, Wow, NonStop,
rent free pretty much.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I hear the matchups. By the way, he won the
matchups for the playoffs. I decided about as of this week.
There's still this could change, but as of right now,
Wildcard Round would be the Brewers and the Diamondbacks and
the National League and the Padres and the Mets, and
we saw that match up. We saw both those matchups
in last the last couple of years, I think we've
seen those matchups.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
And in the.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
American League right now, you'd have Houston and Detroit and
Baltimore in Kansas City would be the matchups in the
American League. And the teams with the Buys would be
the Dodgers and Phillies in the National League, and the
Yankees and the Cleveland Baseball team would be the others
in the American League. Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact,
(24:58):
fun fact, A fun fact. Last fun fact for my
time here. Jaden Daniels has had two career NFL games
where his team scored on every drive. Outside of Neil Downs,
Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Patrick Mahomes have
combined to do that twice in their entire careers. Oh

the Cincinnati Reds. But no, I wouldn't because I was
fired over the weekend.

I figured that was gonna happen, though we kind of
figured it would. But you know, I'm I can't figure
out Stefosky the way they came back, and you're maybe
the fourteen? Why do you pass the ball when you've
got somebody to run? That was you know, I thought

That was a bad That was a bad day. That

That's a bad job by them. You can't lose that game,

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Dude. It was the most Raider fans I've actually seen
in a game. We were loud as hell, it was
it was it was pumping Wally go out.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, that's frustrating. Well, the Niners had a home game
in l A. They were all Niner fans and the
Rams beat them. So yes, it doesn't necessarily carry over,
doesn't it matter?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
That's the truth.

But what the hell are we doing?
Speaker 2 (30:41):

Speaker 2 (31:37):

Hello and welcome. It's our numbber four, our four at
the door and the story in Kansas City where Patrick
Mahomes came out defended Travis Kelsey this week by saying,
the chiefs tight end is getting triple teamed. How do
you react to mahomes explanation for the poor play by
(00:20):
his tight end? Also, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones
says Mike McCarthy can absolutely guide the Cowboys through these
what he called growing pains. Does this count as a
vote of confidence? Also, Antonio Pierce says he stands by
his business decisions. Comment with the Raiders, how does that
(00:43):
vibe with you? We'll get to all that and more
right now. Have a wonderful Tuesday, the twenty fourth day
of September. Here it is our number four on one hand,
very visible, on the other hand, completely invisible. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
(01:05):
We are in the air everywhere teammates as we provide
choreographed chaos coast dock, coast, border, the motor and beyond
on the mast and extravagantly powerful microphones of FSR am
(01:25):
monating live from the bakery. We sell these takes by

Tyraq dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection,

recommended in stars tyraq dot com the way tire body
should be. I know Jason and Windsor. It's been about
ten thousand days since he quit the show because he
got was it married? I think he got married to
a much younger lady friend there. And one of the
deals was he had to leave the show just to
love the show. He left the show. He said, that's it.
(02:09):
I'm out, can't be part of the show, all right.
So I lead this hour from the NFL, and we'll
work our way back through what happened on Monday. And
I will tell you, just if you didn't see the
games last night, you're up early. As many people tell me.
You reach out to me, say hey, I get up earlier.
I hear the five am hour, the eastern five am hour.
I don't hear the rest of the show. So we
(02:29):
had two Monday night games last night. Jaden Daniels out
played Joe Burrow. Holy crap. Yeah, he outplayed Joe Burrow.
Great game, a lot of offense, no defense and literally
no defense, no puns, no turnovers in Washington. Do give
Cincinnati the lost. The Bengals are zero to three, and
(02:50):
what happened to all the You can't play rookie cornerbacks.
You have to sit them down.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's a great debate, for example, with the Patriots and
Drake May. It's like, well, he'll be better if you
don't play him. Okay, Well, Jaydon Daniels looked, looked pretty good,
looked pretty pretty good, and he's not somebody that sat
at all. Started from go and then the other game.
The Bills now being hyped. They're one of the favorites
to get to the Super Bowls. They dominated took a
(03:17):
part blew to smither Reens, Trevor Lawrence, Doug Peterson and
the Jacksonville slash London Jaguars. But our lead this hour
is from Cannsau City, the home of the Ben Mathern
chicken fingers at the landing there and the Chiefs, the
running back to back champs. They're off to the three
(03:39):
and zero start, but there is a snaffoo that has
people buzzing. So Travis Kelcey, a bit player, that's all
he's been. He's everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
He's all over TV, every commercial, He's got the game show,
TV show, movies, podcasts, everything media. But in terms of
(04:03):
the context of football, you saw this on Sunday night,
not the centerpiece of what Kansas City is doing. They've
got the speed racer literally and figuratively, Rashie Rice, who
is the centerpiece of that offense. But the face of
the franchise has chimed in on the diminishing returns of
(04:23):
one Travis Kelsey. What did he say? We know, We'll
tell you so, Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie. Patrick Mahomes explained that
Travis Kelcey has not been involved in the passing attack
for the Chiefs because of all of the extra attention
(04:44):
that he is receiving that the defense is king in
on that. Mahomes said. The quote respect factor, those are
his words. That teams have for Travis is just unreal,
he said. The Kansas City quarterback also saying that teams
are defense Kelsey with two or three people. Okay, so
(05:05):
let us discuss Patrick Mahomes running like a night in
shining armor to defend his tight end Travis Kelcey this
week by saying that the Chiefs tight end is getting
triple team. How do you react to that explanation by Mahomes.
(05:25):
So I've got PBS room temperature and waist deep and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to freeze in the snow, is what we're
going to do. So to kick off here, now, I've
read the comments from Mahomes. I didn't hear the audio.
(05:46):
I think he did this on the on the radio,
but I heard the I read the transcript of what
he said, and the way it read to me is
by the book, right, by the book. These guys are friends,
I get it. They're part of the fratern order of
the NFL. You never trash a teammate publicly, and if
you do it, you're called the douchebag and all that.
(06:06):
But did you really expect Mahomes to take time out
from his interview to grab a shovel in Barry Travis
Kelsey when his wife is desperately trying to be besties
with Taylor Swift, you know, trying hard as hard as
she can to be best friends with Taylor Swift. So
it's not an option we knew that was not an option,
(06:28):
So mahomes, I call it the PBS, the Bob Ross
paint by numbers plan. Go to sports cloche dot com,
I contribute to that website and stand by your man.
That's the battle plan. Forget the fact that Kelsey and
I don't think I'm wrong on this has been double
and triple team for the last two or three years
(06:49):
and has still been able to have big games where
you're not supposed to talk about that part. Right, It's
never been a problem up until now. Now Todd McShay,
who used to be a big deal at ESPN and
they got whacked now he implied that the reason Chelsea
sucks right now is he's not in shape. We brought
(07:10):
this up like a week ago. We brought this up
in conversation, and it seems rather obvious he's not in shape.
How could he be. We always hear that as athletes
get older and they get to their mid thirties, you
have to work even harder, and they had to put
extra work in, and he's just getting older.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You're not old in the real world, but in the
sports world, you're getting old. So Travis Chelsea is in
his mid thirties. Now what do we know. Do you
think he put the extra work in or was he
jet setting all over the world and living in the
rock star life through his lady friend. He thinks that
was the case. But hey, I keep hearing. Wait, he's
(07:52):
going to have a breakout game. Okay, he did last
year in the playoffs. He wasn't great in the regular season,
getting double in triple team, then the playoffs, and I
recall Kelsey being the old Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Furthermore, we go to Dallas where Stephen Jones has popped
on the radio this week and says that Mike McCarthy
the Cowboys off to the one and to start, Mike McCarthy,
the head coach, can absolutely guide the terrible Cowboys through
the He called it growing pains. Does not count as
(08:27):
a vote of confidence, the words of Stephen Jones, So
it sounds like it to the untrained here, it sounds
like a vote of confidence. I would say. The temperature
is room temperature. It's temping at best, and it's not
even really a legitimate vote of confidence. And the reason
it's not is Stephen Jones does not have the power
(08:49):
to issue a legitimate vote of confidence. He is the spawn, right,
he does not have the keys to the kingdom, not yet.
He's gonna get them. But for him to get him
the grim Reaper, and he's going to have to pay visit.
Jerry Jones is the only one. The buck stops with him.
He's the only one that will decide the future of
(09:10):
lame duck coach Mike McCarthy. Now, fortunately for Mike McCarthy,
Jerry Jones has become a mister softy over the years.
As long as people are talking about the Cowboys, that's
all Jerry cares about. He's a Carnival Barker, right, That's
all he cares about. And so he's more than happy
(09:31):
to reward mediocrity was my evidence. I would have example
a Dak Prescott. That would be my example if you
want Ceedee Lamb. Although Ceedee Lamb has been a good
regular season play but again it comes down to playoff performance.
And typically that's when the Cowboys season quickly ends in
playoffs because they don't show up all. Right, Now, last thing,
(09:53):
here we go now to lost Wages, Nevada, where Antonio
Pierce is standing by his man. No, he's standing by
himself now Antonio Pierce, who I like, I'm pulling for
this guy, and he's making it very hard for me
the way the Raiders played against Carolina on Sunday to
pull for him, but he says he stands by his
business decision commentary with the Raiders. He said, some guys
(10:16):
made business decisions. Now Internet investigators who have been trying
to get to the bottom of this, and there's a
bunch of video clips of certain Raider defenders who are
not tackling, who were letting up on the plays, et cetera.
But how does all this vibe with you? Antonio Pierce
saying he is standing by his business decision commentary, so
(10:38):
it is necessary and I support it. I like it.
I'm a talk show host, of course I like it.
He didn't name names, though, that's see. Here's the thing.
He said that this is what's going on, but I'm
not gonna name names. But he is going to name names.
And here's how I know he's gonna name names, because
there is no excuse on God's Green Earth to be
(11:02):
blown out at home by the rotting carcass of Andy Dalton. Now,
it's one thing. If the game had been closed and
I thought the game would be close. I picked on
the TV show, I picked Carolina plus the points. Did
I think that the Raiders could lose that game in
a ball No? I did not. But they got blown
to smithereens they were not there. And that only happens
(11:24):
if you are unmotivated, if you are indifferent, And that
is a reflection of the coach and Antonio Pierce his
whole claim to fame. It sounds like he's the motivator
type coach. He's the guy that will players will run
through a wall for him. And not only would they
not run through a wall, they wouldn't even lay down
(11:46):
and eat and drink a cocktail is what they would do.
And so after beating the Ravens, the Raiders found themselves
waist deep in the mud against Carolina. Now, as we
said in a previous male of monologue, they left around
and they're about to find out. And they're about to
find out because even though Antonio Pierce did not name anyone,
is it true, we are going to know who who
(12:10):
he thinks decided not to hustle in that last game.
You see, they have these things called stats that track
how many plays players get, snap counts, who's starting, who's
not starting, how many chances they get during the game.
And so when the Raiders take the field this weekend
against the preebe quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Brownies, the
(12:32):
guys that aren't getting as much playing time, it's connect
the dots. Obviously, those are the players that Antonio Pierce
was referencing. And so we're gonna know. We're gonna know
this weekend. If you're curious, we'll know who Antonio Pierce
was talking about because he will not play them as much.
And that's the way it's gonna go. It is the
Ben Mahlor Show, the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like
(12:55):
to be part speak easy rules are in effect. There
are a couple of lines open. We'll take your calls
if you would like to be part of the program.
Straight ahead. Can you imagine failing at something and then
getting promoted, like being bad at social media and being promoted.
It actually happens all the time. I remember Odell Beckham,
(13:17):
his father started trashing Baker Mayfield and the Browns, and
then Odell Beckham got let go and went to the
Rams and won the Super Bowl. Well, another player in
the NFL has used social media and is falling upwards.
But who is it? You'll find out. We'll get to that,
and we will do it next.

time Wednesday say thank you, Cowboy Killer. I appreciate that Andy.

let me off. But he didn't happen. He did write
in he said, Josh Allen's disrespect is how is it disrespect?
What do you want me to do? Jacksonville didn't show

Speaker 5 (15:51):
You did sometimes you're so.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Much he remember do you remember the guy? You remember
the guy we used to have called slice bread that
would call the show years ago. And then we had
the remember the coach at Texas and do we have
that slice bread drop from the old coach at Texas
A and M. There, No, we don't have a remember
he had went on a ram because there was a
guy slice Bread. That's your old Florida State coach by
(16:13):
the way back in the day, Slice Bread.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I mean, finally work comes fright?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
What come on? No?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It was he was at Florida State and then he
went to Texas A and M. And then he's now
making a lot of money to not coach and he
got all upset because a guy on the internet named
slice Bread ripped him and.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I wouldn't started second, that's where it.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Is, slice bread. Let me find out where it comes from. Yeah,
do you know where sliced bread comes from?
Speaker 5 (16:44):
From?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
A loaf? That's Jimbo Fisher said? Great? Great, Now would
you take here's a question, would you take Jimbo Fisher
back at Florida State or things that bad? You would
take Jimbo Fisher back?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Dude, I'd take you back so fast right now. I
was taking me to dis coordinatort. What I got really
said that the first trunk call is about seventeen minutes ago.
You ship quickly, And then I realized, if I just
don't go stupid, you know, I'm making it. I'm making
the woof po Blairtown. You call him woope By like
it's his first name. They would call me jed who
If you don't mind, I would appreciate that greatly. Yeah, okay,
(17:25):
all right, that was the point.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All right, thank you, go away. Uh Andrea is in
Berkeley and will she attend one of the final home
games of the Oakland Athletics. Just a couple of games left,
that's it and then they're gone.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Yes, Hi, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
If I was any better, I would be a seat
at the coliseum. But no, I wouldn't because how many
of those seats are going to be ripped out of
the coliseum on Thursday?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I know, you know, I'm glad you said that. Then
I have a friend who's an usher there. He's a
league of mind. We do the podcast together, and he
said the exact same thing. He said, you know, it
looks like you know, we looked at the charts, obviously,
the astrology, and he said, it looks really confrontational and
kind of violent and it's like, oh gosh, well, you know,
(18:16):
it might be a bit of a rampage. I mean,
not that I could blame the fans. And you know
that letter. I saw that and a couple of local
newspape people would you know, really upset about you.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yes, they are preparing for civil unrest. And you listen
in California right now, they can't stop people from stealing
stuff from stores. How are they going to stop people
from tearing up seats at a baseball stadium? You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
I do, I know exactly what you're saying. Yeah, and
John Fish's astrology, you know, curiously enough Gemini June one,
nineteen sixty one. And as you may know, you know
the families from the people that own the gap. And
here's the thing about Gemini, and they talk like out
of both sides of their mouth. Sometimes it's like cancer
(19:01):
and pollocks the twins. They say one thing, they change
their mind. They're just not reliable. I mean in his case,
you know, they're certainly not. And they're just kind of
noncommittal and indecisive.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And yeah, but but John Fisher is a weasel. He
in that letter, he's like he claimed it was Major
League Baseball's fault and that's why they had had to lead.
But really what it was is that they were going
to cut off the corporate as I said, food snamps
that the A's have been getting, and so they wanted
that free money. And it's going to continue, as I
(19:33):
understand in Sacramento at least for a couple more years now,
because they announced their movie.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Well you know what's interesting, I think actually heard it
on your show, might have been Scott foris the scorpio
that they don't want their players to play there because
in the artificial turf and.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
They yeah, they say it's gonna be too hot there.
But yeah, well, back in the old days, he used
to play in these terrible stadiums in Saint Louis and
AstroTurf stadiums in Saint Louis Cincinnati during the summer. And
I remember when as a kid and I watched games
on TV and the temperature on the field would be
like one hundred and twenty degrees and they play. But
now the modern player is so bougie. I don't think
(20:09):
they can get away with that today. Like back in
the day, you could get away with it, But now
the guys will say we're not playing, they'll be There'll
be enough people.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Yeah, so you know it should be interesting because that
John Fisher goodbye letter really did not go over well
with the fans.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And yeah, that was unnecessary, erry unnecessary. That's pouring salt
on an open wound, is what it's doing.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Yes, exactly, had the opposite effective.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And by the way, I don't some people are saying,
what's fear mongering? What the a's are saying about civil
unrest at the game on Thursday. I don't think it is.
I think that's just preparing for an event that is
likely going to happen. And if you're wrong, maybe you're wrong.
But uh, from what I understand that there are people
planning on going there to get a bunch of collectibles
out of the coliseum because that's it. They's all. That's
(20:55):
the last team left. They're done.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
It's like, oh, for the best, affair for the worst.
And on an energetic level, there's so much anger band,
there's so much sadness. So I think left to their
own devices, you know, I couldn't really blame the fans.
I mean, I'm still debating whether I'm going to go
or not because this is sort.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Of Yeah, I would go on Wednesday. I don't know
that I would.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Go on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I don't know if I go on Thursday. The last
games on Thursday, and am.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
I it's a day game, which is interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, so that's good. You can get your seat and
get home before before it starts. All right, I gotta go.
Thank you Andrew let us know though he just posted, Yeah,
all right. There's Andrew the astrology lady virgo in service
on X and she is a longtime A's fan, but
she's debating does she want to go out there? I
(21:45):
think it's po'd be all right, but you know, as
long as you're not a seat, they might rip that out.
But as long as you're not that Eugenie is Chicago, right,
so and he says, hey, Ben the Padre. Now, Eugene's
a Chicago sportsman, but he's pulling for the Padres to
beat the dog Rodgers because he's a hater. He says,
it's now or never. We need all three against the
(22:06):
Doyers because we want that number one s in the
divisional race. I still believe in you, San Diego all right,
good luck on that. Hey, DraftKings has the tools to

Speaker 7 (22:55):

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, I thought it was a Bronco sweater, is it not?
Like the Philadelphia Fly is an orange sweater, and I'm
dog that's definitely Broncos orange.
Speaker 4 (23:04):

Broncos sweater.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Coops of Bronco fan boy. So yeah, yeah, were a
Saints fan, Saints fan, you know, so a Lions fan.
You didn't become a Lions fan when you moved to Detroit.

Speaker 7 (23:27):

Speaker 4 (23:51):
He's supposed to be in Mexico by now. I think
Tom Brady won a Super Bowl. He said he was
going to lift and move to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I did. I filled in on local Austin radio, and
at that time when Rob was doing the morning show,
like it was a slow day, it was like Rob
ripping Tom Brady was be a top.

matchups for the playoffs. I decided about as of this week.
There's still this could change, but as of right now,
Wildcard Round would be the Brewers and the Diamondbacks and
the National League and the Padres and the Mets, and
we saw that match up. We saw both those matchups
in last the last couple of years, I think we've
seen those matchups.
Speaker 3 (24:37):

Speaker 1 (24:38):
American League right now, you'd have Houston and Detroit and
Baltimore in Kansas City would be the matchups in the
American League. And the teams with the Buys would be
the Dodgers and Phillies in the National League, and the
Yankees and the Cleveland Baseball team would be the others
in the American League. Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact,
