I am now told we will proceed with the modeler.

(04:27):
All right, so we get back to it. So our
lead this hour from Baltimore Home of Sports with Coleman,
a friend of mine. So the Ravens coach John Harbaugh,
he used to call the show. Well, the fake John
Harbaugh used to call the show. So the Ravens coach
John Harbaugh addressing questions that he is skating on thin
ice with the Ravens, so he gave a boilerplate response.

(04:53):
Now we have a long SoundBite here. If you didn't
hear what he said, maybe not. I want to play
a little bit of it, and then I'll probably cut
it off because I'll be bored. I'll probably be bored.
We have it all right, let's play it. I I'll
get bored and I'll cut it off and then we'll
start talking about But here's John Harball. I was asked
about being on the hot seat as the Ravens do
not look like they're going to make the playoffs. Here's
what Harball had to say. It's a sports it's how
it works, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
And one thing I always have believed is that, first
of all, coaching at any at any any level is
a day to day job, you know, and your job
is to do the best job you can today and
to do anything you can to help your players and
your coaches, if you're a head coach, be the best
they can be every single day. And it's never been
about keeping a job. And there's no such thing as

(05:35):
like your job or my job.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You know.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
We have we have.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Responsibilities, we're given opportunities to steward those responsibilities, and you're
given a job to do that until you're not, you know,
and then you try to do the best. I try
to do the job, not try to keep the job,
because there's no such thing as having a job.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's just doing a job, right, So my focus is
on the money. I try to do the job, not
try to keep the job. That was the money quote
from John Harbaugh. Now Harball, he's sixty three. It'll look
sixty three. Must be doing the pineapple smoothie from Doc
Mike anyway, sixty three he said. Also later on, I
said we don't have control over that except the job

(06:16):
we do today, and repeated that a couple of times.
Harbaugh did sign a three year contract extension with Baltimore
back in marsh Submit means he'd get a two year
golden parachute there if he were to be let go.
He's the all time winning his coach in the franchise
which hadn't been around that long, the old Cleveland Browns
who became the Baltimore Ravens back in the nineties, and

(06:37):
so that is a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question how is the future looking for John
Harbaugh with the Ravens. So I've got confectionery, Mario Kart,
and wrecking Ball, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to have the Baba

(06:57):
Gnooche with a side of Gaba ghoul, the Baba with
a side of gogol. All right now, to lead off,
As you know, being a talk show host, we like
to psychoanalyze things because why not. So let's psychoanalyze this
because that's what we do. That is what we do.
So when John Harbaugh talks about today and later on

(07:20):
he mentioned the process, I don't hear a guy packing
his boxes. I'm hearing a guy that's planning on rearranging
the furniture, is what I hear. Now, no coach is
gonna come out and say, oh man, I'm getting whacked.
I got no chance. Man, They're gonna give me the
death chamber. No, he's not gonna say that. And what

(07:41):
job isn't a job where you just guaranteed employment if
you're bad at your job. I guess there's some government
jobs like that, right. The cliche is, you know, as
you go to the DMV the people are like, they
all seem to be upset and hate each other and smell,
and they don't do their job. They're not very efficient,
all right, So I guess they have security of your
tenured professor at Havid Yad. You don't have to worry

(08:03):
about about doing a good job or anything like that.
And there's some politicians that seem to not really care
about the job that they do. But I aside from that,
so it doesn't seem like he's in panic mode. It's
just kind of like spaw music in my head in
the background in cucumber water. You're never that upset when
you're having cucumber waters, which is disgusting about it. I

(08:24):
hate that. Hate that. So the Ravens, if you look
at their history, they don't fire coaches. They don't go
around like sometimes fire coaches every couple years. They're not
like Floyd Mayweather changes his underwear every day. They're not
like that. They're not there's stability based franchise and they're
not quite up to the level of the Petsburg Steelers,
but not that far behind. When you look at the

(08:46):
history in the last twenty years of the Baltimore Ravens,
it's mostly been Brian Billick and John Harbaugh. And right
now John Harbaugh is at the confection Areya and he's
eating some Rocky Road ice cream and it's a little messy,
it's very crunchry, and there's some gunt. I think that's

(09:07):
like a nut stuck in his in the teeth there,
which is a problem. But nobody's calling the Health inspector
anything like that. And so as long as you serve
some delicious double scoop chocolate chip next season, everything will
be fine. And the controversy is do the Ravens hit
the a jet button on Lamar Jackson? And hearing some
more rumblings about that. So if that happens, then do

(09:28):
you keep Harball around because you're gonna suck by design
for a couple of years and all that. And the
other problem is who do you replace John Harball with.
There's I mean Robert Salah, who'se Niner. Defense allowed Philip Rivers,
who's a grandfather, to average seven point nine yards per
pass in the game last night. He's one of the

(09:49):
top candidates. Really, what are we doing? So he's out there.
Ownership also matters in this. You've got the owner of
the Ravens who's not reactionary. He's not one of these
guys that flips tables and puts on a show and
all that stuff. And so he's not that guy. And
it doesn't I'll put his way. If it was a plane,

(10:09):
it feels like there's turbulence. We're not preparing for a
crash landing in Baltimore. Right. Furthermore to the voting booth,
we go another story about an event that nobody will watch.
The NFL announced that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelcey. Yes,
that Travis Kelcey, for the second consecutive year, is the
most popular player in the NFL. Based on the Pro

(10:33):
Bowl vote, he got the most votes. Travis Kelcey. He
got not just a few more votes than number two.
Number two was Josh Allen. He won by a landslide
Travis Kelcey. We're talking about one hundred and fifty thousand
more votes for Travis Kelcey than Josh Allen of the Bills.

(10:55):
So the question Taylor Swift's fan base accused of quote
rigging the NFL's Pro Bowl vote obviously for Travis kelce
What does the evidence show now, as you know, not
only do I moonlight as a gas bag. We have

(11:17):
the Malor Investigative Bureau, the MiB, the Maler Investigative Bureau,
which has been activated. So this is clickbait democracy is
what this is. Click and a click. The numbers do
not lie. They don't lie, but they don't tell the
truth either. Kelsey season in Kansas City was fine, some

(11:39):
would say solid. I'd put it in the fine category.
You're not gonna run off and post a little video
on TikTok about it or any of the other social
media and yet he is lapping the field, Travis Kelce.
It's like Mario Kart, the turbo boost on Mario Kart. Dude, Like,
what's going on with it? And we all know where

(12:02):
the turbo boost came from. It's not some kind of
mystery theater. It's not. You don't have to be Sherlock
Holmes to connect the dots together. Here. You've got online voting,
anonymous clicks, people using VPNs, an army of Swifties who

(12:22):
treat poles like a holy crusade for the honor of
Taylor Swift. So this is not a ballot box. The
NFL has to brag about this. It's an online vote
thing is. But it's a pinball machine, is what it is.
Here and Travis Kelce is surfing the afterglow of Taylor Swift.

(12:45):
It's like they're at White Kikey Beach and he's surfing
the afterglow there. Cowabunga, dude, that's what he's saying. Meanwhile,
the guy's actually producing at a higher clip than Travis Kelce.
Well they're they're not getting married to the most famous
woman in the world. So no Pro Bowl for you.
They were neutered, all right, neudt The Pro Bowl itself

(13:08):
has also been neutered. You've got dodgeball, Tug of War,
and tic tac toe. It's not sacred. It was really
never sacred, at least at one point the players tried.
There was that famous clip of the I think it
was a safety for the Washington Redskins tackling the punter
and knocking him to the shadow realm in the Pro

(13:31):
Bowl and why but the online vote it just doesn't
smell right, something not kosher about it. And then the
evidence says that it's obviously not football. It's fandom roulette
and the bots always win. The bots always win, all right.
Last thing we stay in the show me state. As
the news came out in the last twenty four hours

(13:53):
here that the state of Missouri will be losing another
NFL team. Years ago, if you're old, they had a
team called the Saint Louis Cardinals. So they went to Arizona.
Then they got the Rams and they stayed for twenty years,
and then they went back to LA and now Kansas
City about to say, turn at the lots the parties over. Yeah,

(14:17):
they're gone. Chiefs are leaving their longtime home at Arrowheads
Stadium for a new domed facility just to cross the
way there in Kansas and Toto, We're not in Kansas anymore.
You want to bet ye, we'll go back to Kansas.
So the Chiefs announced their intention to move after some
lawmakers decided to give them a bunch of the public money,

(14:39):
a bunch of taxpayer money. And so they said, here
we go. We're going to raise taxes and we're going
to give you the money. The Chiefs said, okay, we
love a good bailout. Not bailout. This is a corporate
handout and we need that. You know, we're really struggling
over here in Kansas City. We're not making any money
and we need the money. So they said, okay, we
have no problems in Kansas. There's no issues at all

(15:01):
with anything, and we're good. Everyone's got enough money, the cops,
the fire people, there's no homeless people in Kansas. It's
all good. So the question is this the Chiefs leaving
Arrowhead Stadium for a new facility across the Missouri state
line in Kansas. What do you like and what do
you dislike about this? So the first thing is rather obviously,

(15:26):
I finally went to Arrowhead Stadium for the first time
last year. I hate the fact that the years are
number and not moving right away. They still have to
build the stadium in Kansas. They still have to build
the stadium, so that moving right now, But it's gonna
be a few more years and we'll go by before
you know it. And Arrowhead, I've not seen a game
at Lambeofield. I was at lambeau Field. I just went
to the gift shop, which is the size of Costco.

(15:48):
It's like a Costco and a Walmart combined. That's the
gift shop there at Lambeofield. But I didn't the actual
game there because the Packers weren't playing when I was
in Green Bay, have been to Arrowhead, did see a
game there. My friend Bob Fesco, the big morning guy
in Kansas City, hooked me up, give me the VIP package.
We went tailgating. It was awesome, said a great time,
and it is a really a cathedral of pigskins the

(16:10):
way I would describe it. And for those that like football,
it's a bit of a holy site and only get
too dramatic. And you don't just tailgate there though it's
a pilgrimage. They just do it different. You know. Brot's
in the air everywhere, the smoke, the smell, the noise.
We had a ceremonial burning of a stuffed animal when

(16:31):
I was there, Crown men crying in the barbecue. That's
a great thing. But this is really it's a microcosm
of where we are in America. We've been this way
a long time, where you have these great stadiums and
the wrecking ball comes in and you just knock them down.
There's a soccer team. I think this is still the

(16:52):
case in one of the countries around England that plays
in a stadium that was built in the eighteen hundreds.
They still play there in America, if a stadium is
more than twenty five years old, it's it's just disgusting.
You're like, I need a new stadium. I need I
must have a new stadium. And so yeah, you got

(17:13):
Finway and Wrigley Field, maybe even Dodger Stadium. Now is
considered a relic. It's considered a relic. And so these
things are disposable. It's like a plastic fork. You don't
get attached to a plastic fork. You have your meal
and you throw the thing away and that's it. You
move on. And so even though Arrowhead is considered for
those that like football at church, if you will, or

(17:36):
a temple and from the thing that we love. If
I own the Chiefs, I would do the same thing
if I own the Chiefs. Here it is a savvy
business move. It's like a seesaw. You go to Kansas,
you get your new stadium. Thirty years later, you go
back to Missouri, said bring the Chiefs home. Okay, we'll
bring the Chiefs home. Thirty years after that, go back
to Kansas, you go yin. In the end, you take

(17:57):
you take the taxpayer money from Kansas and then the
politicians change, you know, thirty years from now twenty years
from now in Missouri and you go back across the way.
And for those who don't know, I've seen a lot
of people writing these oh my god, it's so sad
they're leaving Missouri behind stories, which tells me you don't
know the geography of Kansas City. They will still be

(18:17):
the Kansas City Chiefs. They're going to be moving to
Kansas City, Kansas, which is and I've been to Kansas
City a few times, and it's somewhat confusing.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
When you don't go there or you've never been there,
and I know it a little bit, but you literally
drive on certain streets you go into Kansas, back to Missouri,
back into Kansas, back into Missouri.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
And it's just the way the city is set up
their sister cities, and there's like it's no big deal
at all. If you live there, you're shopping in Kansas
if you live in Missouri, and vice versa. So that's
just the way it is in Kansas is emptying the
safety deposit box, giving a bunch of money out, and
they're going to get their little Final four matchups, and
they'll get their college bowl games and they'll have the

(19:00):
college football playoff in Kansas City, and they'll maybe even
get a Super Bowl. The White Whale for Lamar Hunt.
They'll get the Super Bowl at some point, and logistically
it works. Now, what I dislike is this is yet
another cold weather outdoor venue that's going away. Within the
next five years or so, Arrowhead Stadium will go away.

(19:21):
The Chicago Bears are in negotiations to move to a
dome stadium. The Cleveland Browns are trying to get a
dome stadium. The Washington Commanders are going to get a
dome stadium. These are all cold weather outdoor teams. Now,
there are still a lot. It's about my mind malor math.
There's like nine to ten teams that will still continue
to be outdoors. The Patriots, the Green Bay Packers, the Eagles,

(19:42):
the Jets, the Giants. Baltimore is also on there and
Cincinnati so but the bunch of them are going from
cold weather to domes. And I love a snowglow game.
If I was a fan, I wouldn't want to sit.
I said the coldst game. I said it was a
Chiefs game. Actually the one I went to and it
was freezing, my my, you know what, off it was

(20:02):
very cold. Watching a game at home is great theater
when it's snowing and it's just fun and they'll have
all the creature comforts. You can up charge. That's the
key to these states. You upcharge, you know, take take
that dumb money from rich people who just have so
much money. I don't what to do. You know, you
up charge for this, that, the other thing, the thing
of a jig, the whole thing, what you mnna call it.

(20:23):
And progress wins, tradition lost yet again, and they're gonna
clime Ah. We're gonna build the staiums kind of look
like Arrowhead. No, they're gonna build it for luxury boxes.
They're gonna build it with a club down, a couple
of clubs, because that's what you do. You try to
appeal to the rich, and that's what you're going for.
And Arrowhead will eventually become just a memory and it's
you know, that's it. So it is The Ben Mahlor

check in because I haven't heard from Todd in a while.
And there's some rumors they change the menu, and I'm
concerned about that, so I want to make sure it's
still on the menu.

Speaker 8 (26:28):
Oh, I guarantee it's still. They will never come off. Okay,
I've had talks with him on that topic.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah. For those who don't know, there's a well we
have the most famous items, the Ben Mallard chicken figures
at the at the Landing in Liberty, Missouri, which is
right in the Kansas City area. But also to go there,
it's a great place. And also we have the mallor
of Fowler, which is in Kansas, so we're covered. We
got the whole region covered there. And that's at the Bird,

(26:56):
which is the Ballet as we like to call it, right, Matt,
the Ballet.

Speaker 8 (27:00):
Yeah, Louis has been in the dressing room. He was
very upset with me. I was facetiming with him. Yes,
he's very upset with me that he got left home
on this trip because of the fact that you know,
maybe I'll have to fly. But he did ask when
we're going to l A something about missing Lorena's puppies.
I didn't see any puppies there.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
No, No, that's that's what he Well, there's some delicious
we have. We don't have Scooby snacks, but we do
have we have cockroaches that you can do dog louis delicious.
There's one in the hallway right now that it's demise.
All right, listen, I gotta go, but Matt, thank you.
By the way, Jackson Dart, you see your guy. Jackson
Dart liked the video for some sports radio guy ripping
the Giant coaching staff. Uh oh, unforced error by Jackson Dart.

(27:44):
Uh oh.

Speaker 8 (27:46):
We don't have time for all that.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I know, all right, Happy all merry Christmas. I'm sure
you're spending a fortune on your kids, so enjoy the time.
All right, there you go, there's our friend moving man, Matt.
So it's the season. This is always an annoying thing
for me. I usually do it monolog I didn't do
one this year. Maybe I'll do it on the podcast
this weekend. The quarterback gifts to the offensive lineman. It

(28:11):
just drives me nuts. But Josh Allen and his wife,
the actress Haley Seinfeld, she didn't change your name. I
actually it's a work name. I don't know. Anyway, Yeah,
you don't change your last name if you're famous. No,
is that right? Okay? Okay? Anyway, she was there alongside
Josh Allen and he gave a they're calling it an

(28:32):
unconventional holiday gift for the Buffalo Bills. Offensive lineman. You
want to take a guess what that is, Lorena, What
did Josh Allen give the Bills offensive lineman? They're giving
them a baby? A baby? Oh, that'd be great, coop.
You want in on this? Crossbows? Crossbows? All right, that's
pretty good. Crossbows. Steven Manhattan, did you see what the

(28:56):
quarterback of the Bills giving the offensive lineman Steve O
in Manhattan.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
When did they legalize? When did they legalize? Eighteen? Wheel
is making new turns on the highways? Ben distinguished Panel,
expanding audience.

Speaker 10 (29:09):
Welco, all right, now I do this all right?

Speaker 2 (29:13):
The correct answer, by the way, is each bill's offensive lineman?
Got a quarter of a cow? Why not just a whole? Count?
How much does a cow cost on the market right now?
He gets yeah, because you know, you make steaks and whatnot.
You have every once while I have a sponsor where
you can buy piece part of a cow, but twenty

(29:33):
five percent of a cow.

Speaker 8 (29:35):
I'm going to look this up because I feel like
it's not that expensive to buy a.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Full but oh no, cows are really expensive. They are.
But he's an NFL quarterback, he's got a two hundred
million dollar contract. You're talking like a live cow. Well,
well yeah, it's live now. But then they'll eventually take
it to the butcher shop and chop that bad boy up,
kill it. So from around two thousand to five thousand dollars,
that's it. Yep, that's not a good gift, right. See,

(29:59):
this is why you don't This is why you don't
announce the gift because people like you said, well that's
a bad gift. Twenty five percent of a cow a
quarter of a cow each interesting? All right, So what
else did you have? I'm sorry, Steve, you didn't You
didn't play along, Steve, I had to answer the question boo, Well.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
He get them a new coach. And then plus when
Josh Allen broke his nose, he looked like one of
the Boser brothers. I do this every year, all right.
So before I get to the meat and potatoes and
the turkey and potatoes, folks, if anybody's out there down
and their luft, you know, life stampiling on plenty of
places serve Christmas dinner. Don't be embarrassed, eat up. You

(30:36):
never know who might be. He might be eating with
weed Man or screaming Jimmy to something along those lines.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Now, and I recommend it. I would recommend going to
multiple free dinners on Christmas if you you know.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
What, Yeah, right, and go to different jobs and retire
from different jobs and collect all the money. But listen,
the thing is, people have heard of been banned a lot,
and there are reasons why I've gotten banned. I would
like to throw this one at the audience and see
if this has justified me to get in the band.
I called the talk show host and he must have

(31:07):
been really sensitive or something, and I said to him that, I,
you know, I think the only thing stopping Kamala Harris
from hosting romper Rup was a magic wand and a
magic mirror. And they never they never let me back
on the show again after that, And I think the
audience should really chip in a little bit their advice. Now,

(31:28):
as far as I'm gets heard with the Mets, the
metsa just I mean, Stevie Cohen's ripping it apart and everything,
but he's kind of cold, is mad at some of
the players, wells.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Not ripping up are They're just getting rid of anybody
that Juan Soto and Lindor don't like. They just get
rid of those guys. They're dead weight. So they got
to bring in guys that'll kaw Tao to Juan Soto
and Lindor.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Yeah, but the team, the team flies on a play
with jet and there's like forty people on the jet
and Soto's mother gets her own jet to fly by
herself to the games. That the players are getting mad about.
That kind of time.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Well, that's ther way. That's the way it is that
Colin was. He was desperate. You know, that's what happens.
You're desperate, you give you have stuff away.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, well that makes a good Yeah. Listen, I never
consider the Mesamation League team. They've been rebuilding since nineteen
sixty two. The only time I ever went to a
met game is when as a kid, Right, it was
opening day and about twenty seconds before the first pitch
down the left field line, some guy unwrapped look like
a big sheet and it said, wait till next year.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well you just save that every every year. That's right.

Speaker 2 (36:27):

right because the owner of the Patriots got upset with
the politicians in Boston. Right, And so that's why that's why.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
They were called No, no, not really, It's because uh,
we were not dad that we wanted to blame. We
didn't want to just hold to blame ourselves.
