Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, hour three of
our radio program and we head to the Motor City
where Jared Golf, of all people, has the Lions playing
very well. Is he the long term answer? Golf being
hyped up as the ad at quarterback in Detroit? The

(00:23):
odds that Jared Golf is the man going forward? We'll
talk about that. Also, is Jared Goff's recent play with
the Detroit Lions sustainable and what does the overall future
hold for Jared Golf. We'll talk about that and more.
The Lions the hot team in the NFL outside of Philadelphia.

(00:44):
We'll talk about that and more. Here it is our
number three. The golf stock is a rising well god
man the beginning, It's another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
As we are co conspirators, as we cozy up to
the speaker here coast to coast, port of the Border

(01:04):
and beyond on the vast and wonderfully powerful microphones of
fs are emanating live from the War the War of Words.
We are broadcasting live from the ti iraq dot com
studios ti iract dot com. We'll help you get there
and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection

(01:27):
and over ten thousand recommended installers tirerac dot com the
way tire buying should be. We'll have Mallard of the
third degree time shifted for ratings purposes coming up here
in a few minutes. But our lead this hour comes
from the Motor City. The rare and appropriate, rare and
appropriate Mallard monologue about the Lions. It's not even Thanksgiving.

(01:50):
The Lions didn't fire their coach. What's going on? Cows
are flying, pigs are talking. Well, don't look now, but
the Lions are roaring. Detroit has been coming on like gangbusters,
beating the Vikings on Sunday, adding yet another win. The

(02:11):
Motor City Kenny's clawing their way back into the playoff race.
They won five of their last six, the only defeat
a last second loss at the hands of Buffalo on Thanksgiving.
And now now there is chatter about what this all
means to the best laid plans of mice men and

(02:33):
Detroit Lions executives. So, if you haven't been following along,
it had been assumed that Jared Goff was just merely
taking up space the quarterback there in the Motor City,
that he was not going to be part of the
team's plans going forward. Well, now hold your horses. Wait
a minute, what's this If you have not been paying

(02:55):
attention a recent report indicating the Lions quote plan is
for Jared Goff to be in Detroit for the future.
They sponsored NFL network. The PROBA, the news service of

(03:16):
the NFL, tells us that golf is not not being
looked at as just a placeholder dot dot dot. Interesting
storyline there, So let us discuss the question, Jared Goff.
We just laid it out for you. Recent report hyped
up long term quarterback Detroit. The odds on this happening.

(03:39):
So I'm gonna set the Mallard odds Mallar odds that
Jared Goff continues on as the starting quarterback in Detroit
at plus three hundred. That implies a twenty five percent chance.
That's a two fifty hitter in baseball. Could get a
hit with the two fifty hitter in baseball, but you're

(03:59):
not guarantee to get a hit and most likely will not.
So my school of thought on this, I've got pop goes,
the weasel, Sandbacks, sandbox, and Merry go round, Merry go Round,
and we will connect all of these things together and
we are going to make Detroit style pizza. Now. I
didn't even know this existed until a few years ago.

(04:20):
But pizza chains like they must have these conventions, these
chain restaurants, and they're like, okay, we've run the fried
chicken thing. Now, if you're in the pizza business, I
know what's next. Detroit style pizza. That's what's going to
get people to come to our Pizza ray anyway. All right,
so first of all, Jared Goff, I will be completely fair.
I have killed golf over the years. I have torn

(04:43):
this guide us blood with smither reins. He's been good.
Jared Goff has been good for Detroit. Congratulations. Where the
great trades in NFL history, the Rams won the Lombardi
and the Lions became somewhat relevant. Good trade, win win,
quid pro quo. Right, you gotta give something to get something. Now.

(05:04):
We are skeptical on this side of the microphone about
this latest report, though. Jared Goff, who has been getting
better as the season's gone on, and certainly lately has
been the man for the Honolulu Blue Everything is click
a licking. Everything's click a licking. But the report was
vague by its nature, the way the story was presented

(05:29):
leaves a lot of wiggle wiggle wiggle, a lot of
wiggle room. And when I see that, immediately my default
position is pop goes the weazall. That's my position. A
lot of weazel words and phrases. These are terms used
because the human being just does not recognize them. It's

(05:50):
why when you go shopping on your favorite website, or
if you go to the brick and mortar mall, you
see signs everywhere saying up to fifty percent off. Okay,
I'm gonna buy a lot of stuff. It's fifty percent off.
And then you don't You don't even look at the
up two. You don't even notice that. One of my
favorites is the term best. It was determined by the

(06:13):
court system that the term best means as good as
all the rest. That's why your local sandwich shop sells
the World's Best Hero or the world or whatever it
might be, whatever sandwich, the turkey sandwich betro best, best
best because it means as good as all the others
in that category. So, in terms of the Jared Goff story,
Pop goes the weasel, as we as we stated so

(06:38):
to expand on that to get into that a little
bit more and what that implies. The word plan, that's
a classic one. When I was a little boy. You
didn't know me when I was a little boy. If
you did, you'd be a creepster. But when I was
a little boy, I planned at one point of being
a cowboy. Yeah, I was gonna be a cowboy. Then

(07:00):
I was gonna be a soul job. I was gonna
be a g I Joe. That was my plan. I
was gonna be a g I Joe. I had it
all planned out. Then I was gonna be a police officer,
then a firefighter. I was gonna put out fires. And
here I am as an adult. I am a gasbag.
That's what I do. I talk now. Why is that?

(07:21):
The reason that is is because guess what, plans change.
Maybe you wanted some Chinese food for lunch, but you
ended up eating a salad because your plans changed. That's
why plans are altered all the time. Maybe you planned
on sleeping, but you can't sleep you're here. Maybe you're

(07:41):
planning on doing something else, but you ended up having
to work. Now, the other phrase that is Weasley esque
for the future, for the future now. Future is defined
as a period of time following the moment of speaking
or writing. Whatever I say right now is in the future,

(08:04):
and whatever I'm saying right now is in the past.
Isn't that odd how that works? It's both in the
future and in the past. Well, that's called the present,
that's yeah. Anyway. The point of that is that while
technically it is true that Jared Goff the Lions are
planning on having Jared Goff either quarterback for the future,

(08:26):
that may only mean this upcoming week or the rest
of this season. It does not mean does not mean
that twenty twenty three he's going to be the guy
all right now. Secondly, is Jared Goff's recent performance on
the field, which has been good with the Lions. Is
it sustainable? And I'm shaking my head no, because I've

(08:47):
seen it, I've lived it with this guy. Last five games,
eight touchdowns, no interceptions, Lions are four and one. He's
averaging almost eight yards per past. That's known as overachieving. Now,
golf does have a lot of toys, and we know
from his days with the Rams he plays nice in
the sandbox. He does when insulated by elite talent. Jared golf.

(09:10):
He'll get his numbers. The team will play pretty well
on offense. I'man Ross. Saint Brown, good receiver, good receiver,
not as good as Cooper cup had. Good Saint Brown
is the backbone of the Lions offense. You toss in
running back DeAndre Swift and the Motor City kiddies have
a couple of keystone players on offense. Now golf has

(09:34):
been able to get those guys the ball and let
them work their magic. But the turn in the punch bowl,
much like if you remember that old baseball movie Major
League with a team that's offensive, the Cleveland Indians. Yeah,
so offensive. There was a character named Serrano went on

(09:55):
to be a famous actor, but he backed then he
wasn't Serrano Remember the line that's enough fastballs, throw some
breaking balls. Ye swing an amiss, swing an amiss. So
when adversity pops up, Jared Goff turns into a rabbit,
looking at headlights and freezing. He's unstudy, he's indecisive. He

(10:17):
needs a barf bag. So did that person in the
garage here that barfed in the parking lot at Fox
Sports Raider? They need a barfbag? Also? All right, final
fut so what does the future hold for Jared Goff. Now,
Jared Goff, he's going to get a big contract. I
say big. He's not gonna be the highest paid player
in the NFL, but he'll get a reasonably sized contract.

(10:41):
But as Jared Goff gonna have to guide the Lions
to the playoffs, I would say for him to stay
in Detroit, not only a playoff appearance, but a win
in the playoffs, then we can revisit this. Outside of that,
cooler heads will prevail. Dan Campbell saying all the right things,
he's doing all the right thinks he's a player's coach,

(11:02):
but there are other voices in the building. Detroit is
caught up with his dopamine hit from their recent success
and as a result, they are infatuated with Jared Goff.
Big fans of Jared Goff of Detroit is gonna have
a top ten pick courtesy of the l I Rams.
They currently have the number four pick. Toss in the

(11:23):
number fifteen pick, which is the Lion's own pick, and
Detroit will be in position wam bam, thank you NFL
team man to get any quarterback they want in the
top of the draft. CJ. Stroud of Ohio State, the
Kentucky quarterback. They can get Bryce Young of Alabama, and
on and on and on. Now, as for Jared Goff,

(11:45):
he's going to be on the quarterback Merry go Round,
round and round and round and round goes to the
quarterback Merry Go Round on my big board, on Big
Ben's big board, I have roughly half the teams in
the NFL inquiring at the quarterback position. You buying that
or not buying that. I've got the Jet S Suck Suck, Suck.

(12:10):
I got the Jets, I got the Patriots Texans. That's three,
the Colts, the Titans, the Ladies, the Giants, the Commanders,
the Falcons, Panthers, Saints, Bucks, Rams, Seahawks, and forty Niners.
That's almost half of the NFL that will be looking
for a quarterback. So Jared Goff will end up starting

(12:31):
for one of those other things. I could see him
going to the Colts. I can see. I can see
Earth say said, oh, I'll pick up this guy's a
super Bowl quarterback. He had a great year with Detroit.
We'll bring him in. Why not totally see that happening?
All right? Spend out of the show on Fox's portion
of the show made possible by Discover Card. We could
talk about how complicated other banks make it to redeem
credit card rewards, or we can talk about how with

(12:52):
Discover you can redeem your rewards for cashing any amount
at any time. I mean, talk about amazing more discover
dot com slash redeem rewards terms they do apply. It's meller,
how about that to the third degree, This is one
big band gets quilled and we bring in the coop

(13:14):
dalloop justin coop. With the Panthers recent surge, there has
been a lot of clamoring around the NFL circles for
Steve Wilkes to have the interim tag removed and be
named head coach of the team. Ben should it and
will it happen? So I feel like we've talked about
this a lot recently and the answer to that is
long shot. I'm betting it will not happen. Steve Wilkes

(13:36):
is not a big enough name, and that cat David Tepper,
the hedge fund guy that owns the Panthers. He wants
the big name that he can impress his socialite friends
with by hiring. There is zero name brand value with
Steve Wilkes. He's a generic football lifer. He's had almost
twenty different coaching jobs in college and pro football over

(14:00):
his career. The other thing to remember is Steve Wilkes
is still attached to the NFL's racist lawsuit of Brian Flores.
You talk about the ultimate conundrum for the NFL. So
if the Panthers hire Wilkes, that hurts the lawsuit, but
they can't really force the Panthers in theory to hire

(14:20):
the guy. But if they don't hire him, that helps
the lawsuit and could cost them more money on the backside.
So it's quite the conundrum with Wilkes being part of
that lawsuit. He is from Charlotte, which is a plus.
But we talked about this. He called out the Carolina
front office for tanking, which is true. They traded a

(14:41):
couple of players trying to tank, but you're not supposed
to say that. You're not allowed to. He did next
in the Jaguars win over the Titans, Trevor Lawrence through
for over three hundred yards and three touchdowns. He now
has twenty touchdowns to six interceptions and the quarterback rating
of ninety five, a little bit over ninety five on
the season, has Trevor Lawrence arrived, Well, he was already

(15:03):
in the NFL last year, he was just he was
in the witness protection program. But he's he's exited the outhouse.
He's no longer living in the doghouse. He's out of that.
He's now got a studio apartment. He's not quite in
Victory Village. But the last few games have been great.
He's got ten touchdowns no interceptions in the last five games,
and he's been living up to what he was supposed

(15:26):
to be when he came out of Clemson. But the Jacks,
they actually control their destiny. So if he can keep
this up, they're a playoff team. They win the AFC South.
If they win out, they will make the playoffs at
eight and nine because a tiebreakers, they'll win the division
because they will have swept the Tennessee Titans, and so

(15:48):
it's gonna be a roller coaster finish. But yeah, he's
he's looking more like he knows how to tie his
shoes and chew gum at the same time and walk
and he's not gonna poop the bed every time he
goes out, which is what he did seemingly all of
his rookie year with urban Meyer and others. All right
next So it was reported this weekend that if Aaron
Rodgers decides to play next season, Jordan Level will request

(16:09):
a trade from the Packers. Ben, do you think they'd
grant it? I do actually think they would grant it,
because they gave Rogers the money. I mean, they're gonna
have to get rid of one of these guys. Rogers.
Maybe they trade Rodgers, but either way, they make a
trade with a quarterback. I would say if the Packers
believe that Jordan Love was on the cusp of being
a big time quarterback, they would not have signed Aaron

(16:31):
Rodgers to the extension. Holy Catfish, Batman. That's a lot
of money for Rogers, a lot of guaranteed money. So
it's a vote of no confidence to Jordan Love. And
it would make a lot of sense for Green Bay
to deal Love and restart the clock with another quarterback
in the second round. That's say they can start the

(16:51):
process or process over with and time it up better
with Rogers because you've already burned several years with Jordan Love.
The rationale to develop a quarterback because you let him
sit for a year and then you're ready to go
after that. You don't let him sit for three years.
That's not the plan there. That makes no sense. It's
not sensible to do there. It is Mallard to the

(17:12):
third degree. How dare we do? That? Is a when
you put on the bar. Yes. Time Now for the
mall Riddle of the day, The Maller Riddle of the day.
The Miami Dolphins are a football team, and the Miami
Dolphins being called out by many for using blank, using

(17:34):
blank in the Sunday night football game. The Miami Dolphins

(19:18):
and Just Josh. Collaborative effort from Jay Scoop and a while.
Hope everything's all right with him? And here is the
Mallard Riddle of the day, the Miami Dolph. We're criticized
for using blank in the Sunday night football game. That
is the question. What's the answer? Dom in the Palms
going with blow darts? Tom says fake crowd noise. Fox

(19:44):
high Wind says chocolate laxatives. That would be unfortunate, lasers
from donkeys, sausage. I see what you did there? Who
else page down little marshmallows in their hot chocolate. That's
from the Herbonator, and when the Herbanator gives an answer,
it must be true. We have a astro fan who

(20:09):
says that the Dolphins were guilty of using a Mercedes
Van's sprinter van. It's another Dan Patrick listener up all
night called out for using peas in their guacamole from
Rob in Minnesota. A Don Mattingly credit card from Eke
and Roseville, Minnesota. Ed from Spokane says, ruining my perfect

(20:33):
seven game parlay is the correct answer. Jay Dot in
Utah says the Dolphins were criticized for using Doc Mike,
you're in therapy. That would be unfortunate. Alf the alien
ol Piner, who I believe is out of quarantine, says
almond butter on the balls. That would be bad. That

(20:53):
would be bad. Jason Rocky mountin Virginia, following that theme, says.
The Dolphins were criticized for using there we love our
ball's slogan, be wrong? Who else we have black? Our
big pant the big Panta says, The answer is black
Steve the seconds debit card. The Dolphins were being criticized
for using that Who else do we have? Page down

(21:14):
page down? Fields of green says A bunch of hookers
and cocaine in the coach's office. That was the reason.
There fats from Philly says vintage bottled water from Camp Lejune. Wow,
right there? How dare you fats from Philly? My pillow
was guessed by ferg Dog Eddie. Do you have an answer? Eddie? Please?

(21:34):
I need an answer here? Deflated Football's guess by Jonathan
our buddy who's in Louisiana hanging out down there? Do
you have an answer? Yeah? They were criticized for not
watching the World Cup. Yeah, that would be inappropriate to
not watch the World Cup. But unfortunately that is incorrect.
Eddie the correct answer. The Miami Dolphins were called out

(21:55):
and criticized for using heaters in Los Angeles. On the
side lines, it was in the fifties at the game
on Sunday night. You know where the Miami Dolphins play
this weekend? You want to take a guess where the
Dolphins here we go? Is it gonna be in the
fifties in Buffalo. I'm just asking for a friend, Daddy,

(22:17):
I'm asking for a little bit here. I'm looking at
the forecast right now. It says at kickoff the temperature
this game is coming up. Let's see here, this game
is Saturday, right the Dolphins Bills game is on Saturday.
Might correct on that? Believe I'm correct on that, So
we'll just go the kickoff forecast. The temperature is twenty

(22:38):
three degrees, is gonna feel like thirteen degrees, and there
is going to be fog. Although at this time it's
still early in the week, there's only about an eleven
percent chance of precipitation, but there will be an extreme
fog at high Mark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York
by the time the second order comes around, and as

(23:02):
the night goes on, it's only going to get colder.
So should the Colts. Actually, the Colts Dolphins Bills is
the final game of the triple header on Saturday Saturday Night,
all on the NFL Network. Apparently okay, but again the
kickoff temperature twenty three degrees, you feel like thirteen degrees.
Let's go to the phones. And Andrea, she's got her

(23:24):
star charts out these sports sorceress, she's standing by in
the Bay Area. She's got all the information. Listen, what
are you talking about Kyler Murray? Who's down for the count?
I don't know. Let's find out right now. Hello Andrea, Hello, Ban,
how are you? If I was any better, I'd beat Kyler,
but not Kyler Murray because this season, well he might
be happier now he can focus on his true love
video games. Right. Well, he is young August seven, nineteen

(23:49):
ninety seven. And here's the thing. He's a Leo, but
Saturn isn't a Clarius right now, So Saturn is opposing
his son. And you might remember me saying Saturn rules
a skeletal system. Then yeah, So when we have a
transit that rules a skeletal system and it's an opposition
to our son, it can create problems along those areas.

(24:13):
And Saturn basically is the planet of limitation. So when
we have a Saturn transit. I mean he's carded off
non contact knee injury on the first drive versus the Patriots.
I mean, talk about bad luck. So Saturn opposed his son.
Check it out one to be twenty nine years, so
you know, twenty nine years, the man will be in

(24:36):
his fifties the next time that he's not even twenty nine.
He hasn't even had a Saturn return yet. Yeah, so
very very draining and just pessimistic about the challenges and
blockages to his progress right now. So you know this
two shall pass, but not you know this not this season.
So just very challenging and difficult to kind of fight against,

(24:59):
especially Lucas authority figures. So it's ton of a low point.
But you know, things happen for a reason. His ambition
is being held back right now, and leos don't like
to be held back. So you know, some lessons to
be learned here and there'll be you know, new opportunities.
But right now, Saturn opposed his son is really just

(25:21):
a lot of adversity. I hear you, all right, quality information, Andrew,
thank you, we're going service on Twitter. Thank you so much.
There she goes, she's always got the charts right there,
ready to give you the inside skinny. Be sure to
catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at
two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, what's up everybody?
It's me three time pro bowler Le Warrington and I

(25:43):
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called Up
on Game? What is Up on Game? You asked, along
with my fellow pro bowler t J. Hushman, Zada and
super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris, you can
only name a show with that type of talent on it.
Up on Game We're going to be sharing our real
life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to Up on

(26:08):
Game with Me, LeVar Arrington, t J. Hutchman's out of
and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or
wherever you get your podcast from some baseball news to
pass it on, Ding Bass. I saw the Yankees don't
want that stiff carlos Kore. You see that? No? I
did not see that. Yeah, they want that cheater. I

(26:29):
don't understand why they already signed that other cheater. I
don't get it. Toronto Blue Jay signed picture Chris Bassett
three years, sixty three million dollars. Former Houston ketcher Christian
Vasquez could say three year jill with the Twins, and
the Giants signed former Padres and he's picture Sean Manaiah
the Higantes. Does that do anything? Sean Maniah, who blows
twenty five million dollars, must be nice. I hope he

(26:51):
pitches five times against the Dodgers next year. I hope
he pictures every time. Chris Basset, an average guy making
sixty three million dollar US good And these guys complain
and the Yankees are going to load up a big
offer for Carlos Rodon, who's always hurt up until last
year when he had a full season. So man, I
love the Red Sox who had who just let everyone leave.

(27:14):
And they're like, well, we're exploring the trade market. Okay,
how about you explore my fat ass? How about that?
All right? Come on, I mean exploring the trademark. You
just say you're not doing anything, and the doctors have
done nothing. And I think the top minor league team
in Verbero agree with me. The Oakland Athletics, top minor
league team. Yet again, anytime you develop a player like this,

(27:36):
catcher Sean Murphy trade him boom. He was traded the
other day to the Atlanta Braves. I love the fact
that Carlos Correa, though, who's called how much money has
he cost himself? That guy, based on his stats, should
have been the first shortstop sign. The first shortstop sign
should have been correct. But he's a cheater. He's a dirty,

(27:57):
rotten cheater. Dodgers didn't want doing it. Sounds like the
Yankees don't want him to do with him. By the way,
I'm basing that off the Yes Network. Yes Network, which
is state sponsored Yankee programming, pointing out that the Yankees
do not have Carlo's career on their radar. That would
seem to indicate if the Yankee broadcast channel is saying that.

(28:20):
I think there's something to that, But what do I know.
Let's go out of the number one Yankee apologist, Yankee fanboy,
he worships the pinstripes, angry Bill to take that in
your pooper and pope. Yeah, the greatest iconic franchise in
the history of sports, the Dodgers. Yes, that's right, he
had a Dodgers Benny. I'm a very simple person, okay,

(28:45):
And that's why my pitching system came in. But Baker
made Ayfield. Okay, he came out, had to be the
simplest game plan in the world. He was in LA
for sixteen hours and goes out and wins. I don't
care what happened during the game. The bottom line is
the guy won. People in football, baseball, forget basketball, let's
not even a sport anymore, have made things so complicated

(29:09):
it's beyond absurd. Analytics, analytics are okay, this is okay,
that's okay. They've made it so complicated it's ridiculous. This
guy went out and won a football game. Bottom line,
we've had to be the simplest game plan ever set up. Okay, well,
it does help. It does help that Derek Carr through

(29:29):
a couple of unbelievably bad interceptions, so that does that
does way. But no, I agree with you. I think
keep it the kiss method, keep it simple, stupid. I
think that is the way that you should approach things.
You don't have to make it more complex than it
needs to be. But I think that's true of anything
in life, that you don't need to make hard. But
that's what happened in all the sports. They give these

(29:50):
guys five six million dollars a year to manage seven
eight million dollars to be the GM. So we got
to keep it complicated. But these are big, these are
big ber ocracies, these teams. I mean I sat as
in the Charger Dolphin game. I sat behind the Miami Dolphins.
There's social media team. There's like seven people to post
photos on Instagram and Twitter and Facebook and TikTok and

(30:13):
all this crap. And there's a million We don't need
all that. This is just another example. There's like a
bunch of red tape. But these teams hire analytical people,
they hire this, that and the other thing. They just
keep adding more and more and more and more and
more and more and more and more. You know, I
agree with you, Hey, we agree on something. As fifteen
