Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bert two hour two
of our radio program, as we connect the dots talking
about that Dolphins Bills game this weekend and what does
the situation with too a tongue of Bloa not being
cleared to play due for his future with the Dolphins.
(00:23):
Can Miami quarterback Skyler Thompson do the impossible the unimaginable
and play well against Buffalo? And are the Miami Dolphins curse?
Will take a look at the evidence supplied by a
listener to The Ben Maller Show who claims that he
(00:43):
has empirical data to back up his claim that the
Dolphins are a jinxt operation. We'll talk about that and
more right now as we rise to the challenge, unless
we don't. In our number two fish food, if you
(01:03):
will welcome in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mallers Show, as we are in the air everywhere,
shoulder to shoulder, as we have an ear out for danger,
coast stuck, coast, border to order and beyond on the
mast and magnificently powerful microphones of fs are emanating live
(01:32):
from the pit, the armpit of the broadcasting world. We're
doing the overnight show hanging out here. We are broadcasting
live from the tirerac dot com studios tirerac dot com.
We'll help you get there in unmatched election, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers
ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
(01:57):
And so at leave this hour coming from the NFL
plus or a theme to this all night long. And
the Dolphins, Miami, Miami, Miami. The Dolphins getting set for
a wild card weekend they're calling it super wild Card weekend.
Doesn't seem very super to me. But wild Card weekend
match up with the Bills where the Buffalo Rome, and
(02:19):
they will be doing it without their headliner, without their headliner.
And I assume you've heard by now you've had a
chance to chew this over, but maybe not. The Miami
Dolphins postseason turning into a dark comedy at this point.
We've learned that to a tongue of IYLA will not
be walking through that door for the Dolphins. And the
(02:39):
wild card game against the Bills is Mike McDaniel, good SoundBite, Okay,
Coach Mike McDaniel ruling out officially with lightning speed to
a tongue of Eloah for the playoff game this weekend,
as he has not been cleared for football activities. He
(03:02):
has had the concussion bugaboo that has popped up multiple
times here, most recently Week sixteen against the Green Bay Packers.
So the change, change, change continuing in Miami. Dangel City
was frustrated. He wants he wants to be with the playoff,
his team in the playoffs, he said of Tua. And
(03:24):
so when it rains, it pours. Because not only is
tongue of Voloa kode for the playoff game against Buffalo,
you also have Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy two gloves, the backup
not a starter, not a starter. We talked about the
backup who seemingly would be put on the spot, but
he appears unlikely to be able to play as well.
(03:45):
He suffered a finger injury and that was the following
week against the New England Patriots in week seventeen. So
here we are the New England Patriots knocking out Bridgewater.
The Packers now out to a tongue of by Loah.
The beneficiary would be Buffalo. But there's there's a bigger
(04:07):
deal going on because not only is Miami preparing to
start a seventh round rookie Tyler Skyler, not Tyler Skyler
Thompson before they get whisked out of the playoffs. But
you have the fallout from this right first and foremost
to a Tongue of Byloa is in the crosshars and
(04:28):
his football life is not doing very well. So let
us discuss the question, what does this situation on this
latest revelation that too will be silent for the playoff
game against the Bills, he will not be playing for
the Dolphins. What does this revelation due for two? A
(04:48):
tongue of Byaloah's future in Miami. So I've got London
Acorn and Fuzzy dice and we will lock all of
these things the other and we are going to blow
your mind unless we don't. So number one, you don't
(05:16):
have to be some kind of guru of football like
Jay Glazer to know this is not going well. To
a tongue of Iloa is not long for Miami. Coffee in,
coffee out. This was a make or break season for
Tongue of Ioloa. And while he started out like gangbusters,
(05:37):
his overall body performance the first eight games that he played,
and he was a fringe, fringe MVP candidate. Some of
those stats eye popping for Tua with the eighteen touchdowns,
the three interceptions and whatnot over the first eight games,
but there was a jumping off point because as the
year progressed, it has become a house of card situation,
(06:03):
down down, down, down, down, tumbling down. Tua has been
a combination of unproductive and because of injury, untrustworthy. When
you say it's a make or break season, he's been
broken more times than we can count now and ever
since the bye week to a coming back from that
(06:26):
seven touchdowns, five interceptions of passer rating below eighty five,
he's morphed back into the player that he had been
prior to this regime change in Miami. And because of that,
you've got the cat and mouse game between the front
office and the player. And you look at it and
the long term forecast, if you look at your Doppler radar,
(06:50):
the long term forecast is calling for London fog, pe
soup fog, low visibility in terms of the outlook going forward. Now,
who knows if the doctors will even clear to a
to ever play again in the NFL. We think they
will most likely he'll be able to find someone to
give him at least a yellow light, not a green light,
(07:14):
but a yellow light with caution. Proceed with caution. However,
the chances of to a tongue of Ioloa getting handed
the keys to a franchise, whether it's the Dolphins or
another franchise, are slim. And nunskis right at this point,
and it's facts over feelings too. He will turn twenty
(07:34):
five before next season, so my math tells me that
he's twenty four right now. But the problem is the
medical charts, and you look at the medical charts, and
there's this red mist that descends upon those medical charts,
and there's no way to overlook that, right, there's no
way to overlook at that. Football Players get hurt, that's
what they do. But when you're constantly being hurt and
(07:56):
you're at that age, it's a bad combination. Bad combination
in terms of getting a massive contract and connecting connecting
the dots on that all right now, Page two, So
let's look at the game coming up this weekend, the
hustle and bustle of the NFL Wild Card weekend, and
(08:16):
the Bills went from a ten and a half point
favorite to a thirteen point favorite. Buffalo now favored by
almost two touchdowns if the spread does climb to fourteen.
If we get to fourteen, it would be the Dolphins'
largest spread as an underdog in a playoff game since
(08:39):
the merger. That's over fifty years of football since the
nineteen seventy merger. That's a long long time ago. Now. Meanwhile,
many people in the gaming world think this is a
free money situation, that Buffalo is clearly the healthier team
(08:59):
even with the and they've had injuries as well as
late in the season. Everyone's all mangled up at this point.
It's a war of attrition. But Buffalo is the healthier team.
And yeah, yeah, I really have to stick your neck
out if you're taking the Dolphins. Now we do Benny
versus the Penny, and I'm not gonna reveal my hand
right now, but i will tell you some of the
(09:21):
logic going into this. You'll have to download the podcast
for the full monty. But Skyler Thompson, who has I
would say, lived up to expectations. The third string quarterback
has played like a third string quarterback, like he belongs
in a garbage disposal. He started a couple of games
he's played a limited amount of time, one hundred and
five pass attempts, one touchdown, and three interceptions. The biggest sin, though,
(09:45):
all right, biggest sin for Skyler Thompson is the pop
gun ability of moving the ball down the field. Now
Thompson has average five point one yards per attempt. Instead
of being as fearsome as a barracuda, Skyler is about
as lethal as a koala bear leading this offense. And
forget the Bill's defense for a minute, and Buffalo's defense
(10:07):
is not as good without von Miller. But so far
Thompson has essentially by himself whittled down the Dolphin offense.
He's neutralized Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill because they're just
not making the big plays when he's been out there. Now,
keep in mind them the other side of the coin.
(10:28):
The stats tell you what has happened. They don't tell
you what's going to happen. And as we have seen
from time to time, every once in a while, that
blind hog finds an acorn doesn't happen very often, but
you don't want to be the one that's there when
that happens. And everyone else, though, is going to have
to step up. It's gonna have to be the defensive
(10:49):
performance of the year with bells and whistles for the
Miami defense. You gotta think that since the Dolphins on
offense are on hot water, even though they're going to
Chili Buffalo, they're gonna run a rudimentary offense and attempt
to do what they did last time they were in Buffalo.
But to have played in that game long methodical drives
(11:09):
a lot of running with whatever they have in the back.
I guess Jeff Wilson's the healthy running back that they'll
play him quite a bit and rotate some other guys in,
but essentially play keepaway. In order to pull this off,
Skyler Thompson is going to have to have a few
throws of his life connect on third down, move the chains,
et cetera. Not to be too hard on football guy,
(11:31):
but that's the big, the big thing that my eyeballs
pop out at on third down, Skyler Thompson, because the
games are won on third down, two minute offense connecting throws.
So with Thompson under center, he's had twenty nine pass
attempts on third down for the Dolphins this year. You
(11:52):
know how many converted eight eight of twenty nine throwing
the ball on third down. That is a convert rate
of less than twenty eight percent. And that that is
not gonna get it done. That is that's drinking from
a fire hose when you're you're you're gonna be behind
and you can't convert him third down. Good luck on that,
(12:15):
all right, final point. So this is something a little different.
Are the Miami Dolphins cursed? Now? When I poached that topic, initially,
my thought was, that's a bunch of poppycock. The Dolphins
are cursed. I don't believe in that nonsense. But I
was swayed a bit by a Fox Sports radio listener
(12:37):
like yourself, a fan of the show, guy named Barry,
who lives in South Florida, and he sent me a
message this week and he said that he's been a
Miami Dolphin fan. He claims since the nineteen seventies. He's
had insomnia since the nineteen eighties, and he says that
everything went sideways when the Dolphins left the or Ine Bowl,
(13:01):
so we're gonna way back and when they moved into
the new stadium, said even he even sent me a
he said he has physical evidence to back up his
claim that the Dolphins are a jinx team. He says,
this proves that the Dolphin franchise is star crossed, and
he's got the evidence. So you might want to get
(13:23):
out your teal fuzzy dice for this one. So what
is the problem here, all right? What is Let's get
to the point, please, So I'm gonna jump on the
cosmic treadmill. Cosmic treadmill, We're gonna take you back in
time to the mid nineteen eighties. The Dolphins are building
I believe it was called Joe Robbie Stadium at the time,
(13:45):
which is still the site where they play, but they've
changed the name multiple times over the years. So this
is a newspaper article that this guy sent me, and
it says here that construction had been stopped after they
discovered ancient remains from a long extinct Indian tribe that
(14:07):
lived in South Florida until the mid seventeen hundreds, when
the entire Indian tribe was wiped out by disease. This
is a nineteen eighties newspaper story. The Dolphins stadium was
built on an ancient burial ground, and the artifacts that'd
(14:27):
be carefully excavated and preserved and all that, and it
says in this story, it talks about how like the
Dolphins were like, maybe they shouldn't go somewhere else, and
you know whatever, they decided to build the stadium there.
And since the Dolphins built the stadium, it's not exactly
gone that well, fair to say it was not great
(14:48):
and it's continued to not be great. All right. It

(15:12):
So what if I told you that Lamba Field and
Wrigley Field are in danger? Those two iconic venues in

are in danger. We'll get to that and we will
(15:34):
do it next. Be sure to catch live editions of

He's at Ben Mallard and you can tweet that and

he's more than just a call screener. He's the liar,

It's Stee Coop de Loop Justin Cooper and he's at you,
h bronco fan. I would add four inches. He I

Later this hour we will add an amazing edition the
Mallard of the third Degree, our Lambo Field and Rigley
Field in Danger. We will get to that coming up
here momentarily as we press on, and the malamlitiare very
(17:07):
active on the social media. Milkman Mike says a second
hour monologue fun to a list dolphins. If we carry
berries theory on Joe Robbie's Stadium forward, it's safe to
say the Giants will always suffer because Jimmy Hoffa is
buried there. That's from Milkman Mike. Wasn't that across the
(17:30):
way right? They built the new stadium, he was buried
in the old stadium. I thought that's the legend of
Jimmy Hoffa. Fer Dog says with lamar and two of
both out. Are you already thinking about what neutral field
the Bills Bengals game should be played on? How about
the Tokyo Dome. That'd be great. Yeah, I think that's
reasonable too logistically. What could possibly go wrong with that?
(17:52):
Rob the Goatman says, as a long suffering Bills fan,
I love the monologue and optimism. However, I think this
is a trap game, and I am not so sure
the outcome is as clear as it should be. The
Only thing that's in danger here is whether or not
the Bills do not cover the spread. Because that's a
(18:13):
lot of points. That's a ton of points. That's that's
the only n you can't factor in whether somebody on
the bills, like mister Allan gets hurt something like that,
and that that that's a great equalizer. Yafeeme rights in
from Chicago. He says, os, that's some coast the coast
ish Blank Dolphins stadium built on an Indian burial ground.
(18:37):
I am too baked for this, says Yafeeme. Don't it
ain't my fault, buries the guy. He sent me the
story and you can look it up. It's from the
nineteen nineteen, mid nineteen eighties. I think I think it's
from nineteen eighty five or eighty six, because that stadium
opened up in nineteen eighty seven and they were doing
construction on it, so it had to be I would
(18:57):
think based on there's no date on this, but it's
from I think eighty five or eighty six based on
my estimation. Let's go on the phones and any meany
miny mole. Let's say hello to let's see here. Let's
say hello to David, who's in southern California. Hello David, Welcome,
Hello man, Happy New Year's yes, happy new Year? Is it?
(19:22):
What year are you saying? Happy New Year? For twenty
twenty three twenty three. Can you say Happy New Year?
All right? Can you say Happy New Year to Coop?
Can you let it? He loves he loves people. Yes,
Happy New Year's Coop, Coop, Happy new Year. He's very excited,
he's smiling, he's so happy. Okay, I wanted to say
(19:42):
something about After Years show went out the error. Jonas
Knox comes on after you right on many of these
fine Fox Sports radio affiliates. The great Jonas Knox, a
man that played Chuck E Cheese heard the radio. Yeah, well,
well last night he said he felt sorry for Carl's career.
(20:08):
He said that on the air. Yeah, he actually said that.
I think he's off. Jonas should be taking off the
air of the alright, David, do you not get sarcasm? David? Well,
I guess what I think. Joe Biden's looking for somebody to,
(20:31):
you know, work on his garbage cans. Oh yeah, are
you going? Are you going third round? Are you going political?
Is that what you're doing that? David? You're going to political?
Nobody political, but you're along that. Wait wait, wait, you'll
actually get a kick out of this, right, You're you're
(20:53):
an old timer, David, you'd admit you're an old timer, right,
you'll get a kick out of this, right, I think
I think you'll appreciate this. So the tease this, it
was Lambeau Field and Rigby Field are in danger. So
at the University of Southern California better known as USC,
the wokesters over there have decided to ban the word field.
(21:13):
They've determined at the University of Southern California, they're much
better people than us. Yes, they've determined the word field
is racist and they will use the term practicum instead.
That practicum is more acceptable. What's that? You can No,
I'm not I'm not making I wish I was making
(21:36):
this up. But it's bizarro world here. The university said
the term field may have connotations for descendants of slavery
and immigrant workers. Therefore, they've decided to no longer use
the word field. They're getting rid of the word field
and that's it. So virtue signaling is alive and well
(21:59):
at the University of Southern California. Wow, that is uh,
what are we what are we gonna call? What are
we gonna call Wrigley Field and lambou Field. We're gonna
have to change the name. I guess we just call
it Lambeau, just Wrigley, just get rid of the field part.
Put something else in there, man, We always call it
Wrigley space. Well, I know I'm listening this bad. You
(22:20):
know what kind of goblets are in space? That's offensive, man,
And those who are pressed aliens out there and outer space. Okay,
I don't know. I don't know them, but there are
those old goblins out there and outer space. We got
to look out for him. I'm worried about him. Okay,
I don't even know who they are, but I'm worried
about him. All right, thank you. David Going go Away
is David who listens all night to our show and
(22:42):
then the show after ours, and just keeps listening and
listening and listening and listening and listening and listening and listening.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All right,
this is Jay Glazer. And you may know me for
the world of football or fighting, even shows like HBO's Ballers.
Well you don't know is for my entire life. I
(23:04):
have lived in something I refer to as de gray
depression anxiety. So now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable,
a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer where each week,
well we talk about mental health. I hope to describe it,
give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
(23:26):
Back to the NFL, where the good news continues for
Buffalo Bill's defensive back tomorrow, Hamlin. Remember he was obviously
hospitalized in Cincinnati, then he was transferred to a hospital
in Buffalo. Now he has been discharged from Buffalo General
and he is going home, or he probably is home already,
and we'll continue to rehab from home. End with the team,
(23:47):
So continue to make positive strides tomorrow. We talked about
this in a previous episode of the show. But does
he come back to play in the NFL if this
was if they determine it wasn't a pre existing situation,
He doesn't have a bad ticker and this is just
a like the Chris Pronger thing where he got hit
and that's what what he causes he come back to play.
(24:08):
And then if he does come back to play, doesn't
he have to be on the Bills for the rest
of his career, like he can't play, he can't go
out and play for like the Lions or the Falcons.
Like he's got to be in Buffalo. This guy's got
to be a Bill the rest of his career, right,
He's got like a lifetime employment in Buffalo. I wouldn't
go that far. No, I wouldn't No, I wouldn't say
that really. I think he definitely gets a shot with
the Bills to come back. But if they say no,
(24:30):
because they have to keep him on the team the
rest of his career, they don't have to keep him around, ye,
I would say no, not for the rest of his
an icon. This guy's the biggest thing that's happened to
Buffalo since well, you know, Thurman Thomas losing his helmet
in the Super Bowl something like that. Thank you. It
is the Bannet Mallor show. As we press on and
(24:51):
on and on through the overnight hours, just Joshda, something
smells fishy about the that dolphin monologue a real life
Poulter situation, even that creepss Haze wouldn't disrespect the dead
like that. Miami can stay in concussion protocol, but I'd
go with a relocation protocol like now, like now, So,

(25:40):
Who's flying around Texas? Hello? Top Flight? Welcome, you're on
the Ben Maller Show on Fox. Hey, what's up? Then? Welcome?
Come get in last night for newby Night. But my
supervisors decided to do his job and I didn't get
to listen to the third hour. That's a bad job
by your supervised. Do you need me to talk to
(26:01):
your supervisors, top Flight? I'll have a word with your supervisor.
We're trying to do a radio show. You're trying to
provide content. You're trying to entertain the American people, top Flight,
and you're being held back by the man back job
by this all right, I'm multitasking by entertaining and who
by security for the world exactly, And a happy employee
does a better job. You can be on the phone
(26:22):
and still keep your eyes like you can be like
a hawk looking around right and doing your job. That's right,
damn right, absolutely, you can multi task. That's wrong with
these people anyway. You're on the air now, top Flight,
how can we help you? Oh? Well, I know you're
talking about the dolphins being cursed, but you know, my
cowboys and cursed ever since we got Jerry Jones. We
(26:44):
can't do nothing because you keep doing bad contracts. And
you know, so what would you like to do? Would
you like to have like an exorcist come in and
and have like a Hollywood exorcism with a spinning, spinning table,
spinning forks and knives and glasses and plates and all that.
(27:05):
We need something done because we keep getting let down
every year, you know, we get our hopes up. I mean,
I'm being realistic, guy, I love them. I can't switch
because I was a kid with a Danny White jersey
and that's just where I grew up, So I have
to be loyal. So so wait a minute, top Flight,
top Flight, you're letting little top Flight, little baby top
(27:28):
Flight punished grown up top Flight, Right, the little kid
in you is now punishing the grown up in you. Hey,
I gotta stay loyal. No, I'm not a switch person.
You're not a switcher. You're not You're not a team hopper. No. Now,
the rules are top flight. If the Cowboys ever leave Dallas,
you can change teams because I was. I grew up
(27:50):
in La Rams fan, and then the Rams left for
Saint Louis and so then I changed teams after that,
but then the Rams came back. So you're allowed to
do it if your team leaves. I think there is
a better chance that Goblins come down later today and
announced they are visiting the planet than the Cowboys ever
leaving Dallas. But that's just me. That's just me. So
now that ain't happening. No, that'll never happen. All right, Well, listen,
(28:14):
top Flight, good luck to your cowboys. You're very concerned.
On a scale of one to ten, how concerned is
top Flight? The Cowboys are gonna blow it against the Buccaneers,
who have a losing record on Monday Night. Man, that
is I'm gonna say eight. I think we got a
chance against them, but if we get pairs them, it
(28:35):
ain't looking good. Yeah. Yeah, Like I'm leaning this point
to the Cowboys actually winning that game on Monday, because
people don't realize how much the Buccaneers suck. Also, but
if you look at how the season ended, Dak Prescott
and Tom Brady was not particularly great this year, but
the last part of the year, Brady and Dak Prescott
were essentially the same player. Pretty wild statistically, they were
(28:58):
almost identical side by side. Let's go to Jay, who's
next up, and he is on the Ben Maller Show
on Fox. Hello Jay, Welcome in Rochester. Jay has left
the building. Let's say hello to Poppy, who's in sun Diego.
Hello Poppy. Picking with Poppy, picking your nose with Poppy. Hey, Hey, well,
(29:23):
I'm glad it's that movie night because those callers. But
now back to um calling the shots right now, I'm
calling you out saying I'm gonna eat you on that
trivia little trivia, it's not a trivia. It's Picky with
Poppy versus you on who gets a better sports betting picked. Uh, hey,
(29:47):
this is Poppy soapbox. I was gonna tell you that
the story about Hey, when Poppy used to live in
Los Angeles, Bet Maller, I was doing over right, So
I went to Los Angeles, ALIAX to pick up I
simmer and back in the days on the l A
X because now on LA X on when you pick
up over left, you pick him up downstairs. Well, back
(30:08):
in the day, do you have to go upstairs? And
I saw a person It was kind of big with
a big mustache. And I was like thinking in my
head is that who I think it is? I was like, no,
it can't be who do you think it was? Ben Maller?
Well could you be any more vague? Could you be
any more vague? Poppy? Yeah? Well I was. It was
(30:29):
It was that Donald Trump. It was President Donald Trump?
Was there? No? So on the side of that, you
gotta run? Does anybody else want to take a guess?
Who wanted to continue going? Oh, this is a fun
game here. Anybody want to play the game? Anybody? No?
One to play the game? All right? So I saw
a big guy band with a big mustache and I
was like, is that Ron? And I'm thinking of my
(30:51):
head is that Ron? And I was like, this is
a most famous person. I picked up doing and over
it like is that Rob? So I go off to
my wendow. I was like, I was like, yeah, is
this is this? You rock? He's like Ron Jermy. I
was like yeah, and I was like I'm talking Yeah,
I'm talking about the Ron German, you know, the famous guy,

But isn't he like I know, he was on trial

Ron Jeremy's story too. By the way, I bet you,
I bet you. You You guys didn't know that I was
living in Hollywood. I was driving. I was stuck in
gridlocked traffic. This is a long time ago. I'm gonna
date myself. And we were going like we were not moving.
There was an accident, and so we were I was
on Hollywood Boulevard and there was a this how long
ago was There were a bank of pay phones and
(33:00):
this guy standing in a Hawaiian shirt halfway unbuttoned, was
screaming into the pay phone and people were hanking their horns.
They were so excited because it was it was the
aforementioned Ron Jeremy. At the time, he was on a
he was on a payphone, and it was very annoying
because I was pissed off. I was in traffic and
(33:22):
then all these people were honking their horns. I had
a headache. It was a pain in the ass. All Right,
it is the Bend and Mallard Show. As we continue on,
we're gonna have Mallard to the third degree and we'll

only head coaches ever to follow up a Super Bowl
victory by taking another team to the playoffs in their
first season with that particular team. Jeff is going with
(35:16):
George seafort is his answer. Robbie the Mariner fan says
Lamar Jackson is the way to go. Who else do
we have? Page down, page down. The Dixter Dick Vermeio
guests by a Reek in Minnesota. Page down, page down
to Shaun Watson from alfh the Alien Opineerboard. Deshawn's really
going for it in that photo. Jason Kidd from furg Dog,
(35:36):
Durrell Reeves from Plastered Paul's burner account, We've got the
Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart guests by Rob in Vegas.
Bengal fan Brian says the duff Man is the answer.
Pizza delivery guy from Late Night Drug Tester the Viking Legend,
Bud Grant from Midnight Walker, Razor Ramone from Luke the
(35:59):
Vending Guy, Page down, page down, Cowboy Killers says it
has to be Stiffler's mom. Matt the Warrior Raider as
Fan clearly cheated on this bad job by him. He
didn't get both questions right, Eddie? Do you have an answer? Eddie? Yeah,
I'm gonna go with former Bengals head coach Sam Wish
Sam which I love. Sam weis may rest in peace
of the correct answer is not Sam, which it is.
(36:21):
Mike Homegrin Mike Holmegren is the answer. Doug Peterson was
actually on the Packers when they won the Super Bowl,
and then eventually Homegren went to Seattle. They made the
playoffs and here we go. It's how about that to
the third degree. This is one big band gets grilled.
(36:42):
Whoop that loop. When asked if there was any result
for the Cowboys this weekend that could put Mike McCarthy's
job in jeopardy, Jerry Jones essentially sidestep the question, saying
that he has a lot more to evaluate McCarthy on
than just this playoff game. Ben, is there a chance
McCarthy could get the boot? Absolutely, We're talking about the
Cowboys more a little bit later. But Jerry Jones is
(37:02):
not getting any younger. He's been teased. He has not
been pleased since the nineteen eighties or nineties for the
Cowboys the early nineties. And so there are big name
coaches out there. There's Sean McVay, who could be yours
if the Cowboys want him. There's Sean Payton. So there
are options for Jerry Jones that are more attractive right
(37:23):
now than Mike McCarthy. Next, the Kentucky Wildcats blue ad
twenty eight game home win Street by losing to South
Carolina on Tuesday. This has caused the pressure to rise
on John Calipari, as Kentucky hasn't been the powerhouse fans
are used to the last couple of years, Ben as
Calipari lost his mojo, well, it certainly seems like a
chunk of the fan base in Kentucky has turned on him.
(37:44):
The Wildcats have lost thirty games since COVID started. They're
forty five and thirty in the COVID era, so clearly
they're suffering from brain fog there. They're no longer invincible.
The Wildcats and this name image likeness thing. You'd think
that John Caliparie would have been able to navigate that,
but that appears to have been the poison pill. He's
(38:05):
gonna have to reinvent himself or he'll be coaching at
Arizona State next Rob Gronkowski spoke with the media and
said that he never really had the itch to play,
and that's why he never seriously thought about making a
return this season. I want asked about maybe next season,
and Gronk said, well, maybe it's someone through like half
the salary cap at him. Ben, Do you think he's
done for good? He's lying? Could we know that? Gronk?
(38:26):
He tried to come back this year. He put out feelers,
the fish were not biting and so he didn't come back.
I don't believe what Gronk is selling here. How did
we do? He passed this edition that is a winner.
You can put it on the board, yes,
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bert two hour two
of our radio program, as we connect the dots talking
about that Dolphins Bills game this weekend and what does
the situation with too a tongue of Bloa not being
cleared to play due for his future with the Dolphins.
(00:23):
Can Miami quarterback Skyler Thompson do the impossible the unimaginable
and play well against Buffalo? And are the Miami Dolphins curse?
Will take a look at the evidence supplied by a
listener to The Ben Maller Show who claims that he
(00:43):
has empirical data to back up his claim that the
Dolphins are a jinxt operation. We'll talk about that and
more right now as we rise to the challenge, unless
we don't. In our number two fish food, if you
(01:03):
will welcome in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mallers Show, as we are in the air everywhere,
shoulder to shoulder, as we have an ear out for danger,
coast stuck, coast, border to order and beyond on the
mast and magnificently powerful microphones of fs are emanating live
(01:32):
from the pit, the armpit of the broadcasting world. We're
doing the overnight show hanging out here. We are broadcasting
live from the tirerac dot com studios tirerac dot com.
We'll help you get there in unmatched election, fast free shipping,

(01:57):
And so at leave this hour coming from the NFL
plus or a theme to this all night long. And
the Dolphins, Miami, Miami, Miami. The Dolphins getting set for
a wild card weekend they're calling it super wild Card weekend.
Doesn't seem very super to me. But wild Card weekend
match up with the Bills where the Buffalo Rome, and
(02:19):
they will be doing it without their headliner, without their headliner.
And I assume you've heard by now you've had a
chance to chew this over, but maybe not. The Miami
Dolphins postseason turning into a dark comedy at this point.
We've learned that to a tongue of IYLA will not
be walking through that door for the Dolphins. And the
(02:39):
wild card game against the Bills is Mike McDaniel, good SoundBite, Okay,
Coach Mike McDaniel ruling out officially with lightning speed to
a tongue of Eloah for the playoff game this weekend,
as he has not been cleared for football activities. He
(03:02):
has had the concussion bugaboo that has popped up multiple
times here, most recently Week sixteen against the Green Bay Packers.
So the change, change, change continuing in Miami. Dangel City
was frustrated. He wants he wants to be with the playoff,
his team in the playoffs, he said of Tua. And
(03:24):
so when it rains, it pours. Because not only is
tongue of Voloa kode for the playoff game against Buffalo,
you also have Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy two gloves, the backup
not a starter, not a starter. We talked about the
backup who seemingly would be put on the spot, but
he appears unlikely to be able to play as well.
(03:45):
He suffered a finger injury and that was the following
week against the New England Patriots in week seventeen. So
here we are the New England Patriots knocking out Bridgewater.
The Packers now out to a tongue of by Loah.
The beneficiary would be Buffalo. But there's there's a bigger
(04:07):
deal going on because not only is Miami preparing to
start a seventh round rookie Tyler Skyler, not Tyler Skyler
Thompson before they get whisked out of the playoffs. But
you have the fallout from this right first and foremost
to a Tongue of Byloa is in the crosshars and
(04:28):
his football life is not doing very well. So let
us discuss the question, what does this situation on this
latest revelation that too will be silent for the playoff
game against the Bills, he will not be playing for
the Dolphins. What does this revelation due for two? A
(04:48):
tongue of Byaloah's future in Miami. So I've got London
Acorn and Fuzzy dice and we will lock all of
these things the other and we are going to blow
your mind unless we don't. So number one, you don't
(05:16):
have to be some kind of guru of football like
Jay Glazer to know this is not going well. To
a tongue of Iloa is not long for Miami. Coffee in,
coffee out. This was a make or break season for
Tongue of Ioloa. And while he started out like gangbusters,
(05:37):
his overall body performance the first eight games that he played,
and he was a fringe, fringe MVP candidate. Some of
those stats eye popping for Tua with the eighteen touchdowns,
the three interceptions and whatnot over the first eight games,
but there was a jumping off point because as the
year progressed, it has become a house of card situation,
(06:03):
down down, down, down, down, tumbling down. Tua has been
a combination of unproductive and because of injury, untrustworthy. When
you say it's a make or break season, he's been
broken more times than we can count now and ever
since the bye week to a coming back from that
(06:26):
seven touchdowns, five interceptions of passer rating below eighty five,
he's morphed back into the player that he had been
prior to this regime change in Miami. And because of that,
you've got the cat and mouse game between the front
office and the player. And you look at it and
the long term forecast, if you look at your Doppler radar,
(06:50):
the long term forecast is calling for London fog, pe
soup fog, low visibility in terms of the outlook going forward. Now,
who knows if the doctors will even clear to a
to ever play again in the NFL. We think they
will most likely he'll be able to find someone to
give him at least a yellow light, not a green light,
(07:14):
but a yellow light with caution. Proceed with caution. However,
the chances of to a tongue of Ioloa getting handed
the keys to a franchise, whether it's the Dolphins or
another franchise, are slim. And nunskis right at this point,
and it's facts over feelings too. He will turn twenty
(07:34):
five before next season, so my math tells me that
he's twenty four right now. But the problem is the
medical charts, and you look at the medical charts, and
there's this red mist that descends upon those medical charts,
and there's no way to overlook that, right, there's no
way to overlook at that. Football Players get hurt, that's
what they do. But when you're constantly being hurt and
(07:56):
you're at that age, it's a bad combination. Bad combination
in terms of getting a massive contract and connecting connecting
the dots on that all right now, Page two, So
let's look at the game coming up this weekend, the
hustle and bustle of the NFL Wild Card weekend, and
(08:16):
the Bills went from a ten and a half point
favorite to a thirteen point favorite. Buffalo now favored by
almost two touchdowns if the spread does climb to fourteen.
If we get to fourteen, it would be the Dolphins'
largest spread as an underdog in a playoff game since
(08:39):
the merger. That's over fifty years of football since the
nineteen seventy merger. That's a long long time ago. Now. Meanwhile,
many people in the gaming world think this is a
free money situation, that Buffalo is clearly the healthier team
(08:59):
even with the and they've had injuries as well as
late in the season. Everyone's all mangled up at this point.
It's a war of attrition. But Buffalo is the healthier team.
And yeah, yeah, I really have to stick your neck
out if you're taking the Dolphins. Now we do Benny
versus the Penny, and I'm not gonna reveal my hand
right now, but i will tell you some of the
(09:21):
logic going into this. You'll have to download the podcast
for the full monty. But Skyler Thompson, who has I
would say, lived up to expectations. The third string quarterback
has played like a third string quarterback, like he belongs
in a garbage disposal. He started a couple of games
he's played a limited amount of time, one hundred and
five pass attempts, one touchdown, and three interceptions. The biggest sin, though,
(09:45):
all right, biggest sin for Skyler Thompson is the pop
gun ability of moving the ball down the field. Now
Thompson has average five point one yards per attempt. Instead
of being as fearsome as a barracuda, Skyler is about
as lethal as a koala bear leading this offense. And
forget the Bill's defense for a minute, and Buffalo's defense
(10:07):
is not as good without von Miller. But so far
Thompson has essentially by himself whittled down the Dolphin offense.
He's neutralized Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill because they're just
not making the big plays when he's been out there. Now,
keep in mind them the other side of the coin.
(10:28):
The stats tell you what has happened. They don't tell
you what's going to happen. And as we have seen
from time to time, every once in a while, that
blind hog finds an acorn doesn't happen very often, but
you don't want to be the one that's there when
that happens. And everyone else, though, is going to have
to step up. It's gonna have to be the defensive
(10:49):
performance of the year with bells and whistles for the
Miami defense. You gotta think that since the Dolphins on
offense are on hot water, even though they're going to
Chili Buffalo, they're gonna run a rudimentary offense and attempt
to do what they did last time they were in Buffalo.
But to have played in that game long methodical drives
(11:09):
a lot of running with whatever they have in the back.
I guess Jeff Wilson's the healthy running back that they'll
play him quite a bit and rotate some other guys in,
but essentially play keepaway. In order to pull this off,
Skyler Thompson is going to have to have a few
throws of his life connect on third down, move the chains,
et cetera. Not to be too hard on football guy,
(11:31):
but that's the big, the big thing that my eyeballs
pop out at on third down, Skyler Thompson, because the
games are won on third down, two minute offense connecting throws.
So with Thompson under center, he's had twenty nine pass
attempts on third down for the Dolphins this year. You
(11:52):
know how many converted eight eight of twenty nine throwing
the ball on third down. That is a convert rate
of less than twenty eight percent. And that that is
not gonna get it done. That is that's drinking from
a fire hose when you're you're you're gonna be behind
and you can't convert him third down. Good luck on that,
(12:15):
all right, final point. So this is something a little different.
Are the Miami Dolphins cursed? Now? When I poached that topic, initially,
my thought was, that's a bunch of poppycock. The Dolphins
are cursed. I don't believe in that nonsense. But I
was swayed a bit by a Fox Sports radio listener
(12:37):
like yourself, a fan of the show, guy named Barry,
who lives in South Florida, and he sent me a
message this week and he said that he's been a
Miami Dolphin fan. He claims since the nineteen seventies. He's
had insomnia since the nineteen eighties, and he says that
everything went sideways when the Dolphins left the or Ine Bowl,
(13:01):
so we're gonna way back and when they moved into
the new stadium, said even he even sent me a
he said he has physical evidence to back up his
claim that the Dolphins are a jinx team. He says,
this proves that the Dolphin franchise is star crossed, and
he's got the evidence. So you might want to get
(13:23):
out your teal fuzzy dice for this one. So what
is the problem here, all right? What is Let's get
to the point, please, So I'm gonna jump on the
cosmic treadmill. Cosmic treadmill, We're gonna take you back in
time to the mid nineteen eighties. The Dolphins are building
I believe it was called Joe Robbie Stadium at the time,
(13:45):
which is still the site where they play, but they've
changed the name multiple times over the years. So this
is a newspaper article that this guy sent me, and
it says here that construction had been stopped after they
discovered ancient remains from a long extinct Indian tribe that
(14:07):
lived in South Florida until the mid seventeen hundreds, when
the entire Indian tribe was wiped out by disease. This
is a nineteen eighties newspaper story. The Dolphins stadium was
built on an ancient burial ground, and the artifacts that'd
(14:27):
be carefully excavated and preserved and all that, and it
says in this story, it talks about how like the
Dolphins were like, maybe they shouldn't go somewhere else, and
you know whatever, they decided to build the stadium there.
And since the Dolphins built the stadium, it's not exactly
gone that well, fair to say it was not great
(14:48):
and it's continued to not be great. All right. It
is the Bend Mallard Show. If you'd like to comment

So what if I told you that Lamba Field and

are in danger. We'll get to that and we will
(15:34):
do it next. Be sure to catch live editions of

Later this hour we will add an amazing edition the
Mallard of the third Degree, our Lambo Field and Rigley
Field in Danger. We will get to that coming up
here momentarily as we press on, and the malamlitiare very
(17:07):
active on the social media. Milkman Mike says a second
hour monologue fun to a list dolphins. If we carry
berries theory on Joe Robbie's Stadium forward, it's safe to
say the Giants will always suffer because Jimmy Hoffa is
buried there. That's from Milkman Mike. Wasn't that across the
(17:30):
way right? They built the new stadium, he was buried
in the old stadium. I thought that's the legend of
Jimmy Hoffa. Fer Dog says with lamar and two of
both out. Are you already thinking about what neutral field
the Bills Bengals game should be played on? How about
the Tokyo Dome. That'd be great. Yeah, I think that's
reasonable too logistically. What could possibly go wrong with that?
(17:52):
Rob the Goatman says, as a long suffering Bills fan,
I love the monologue and optimism. However, I think this
is a trap game, and I am not so sure
the outcome is as clear as it should be. The
Only thing that's in danger here is whether or not
the Bills do not cover the spread. Because that's a
(18:13):
lot of points. That's a ton of points. That's that's
the only n you can't factor in whether somebody on
the bills, like mister Allan gets hurt something like that,
and that that that's a great equalizer. Yafeeme rights in
from Chicago. He says, os, that's some coast the coast
ish Blank Dolphins stadium built on an Indian burial ground.
(18:37):
I am too baked for this, says Yafeeme. Don't it
ain't my fault, buries the guy. He sent me the
story and you can look it up. It's from the
nineteen nineteen, mid nineteen eighties. I think I think it's
from nineteen eighty five or eighty six, because that stadium
opened up in nineteen eighty seven and they were doing
construction on it, so it had to be I would
(18:57):
think based on there's no date on this, but it's
from I think eighty five or eighty six based on
my estimation. Let's go on the phones and any meany
miny mole. Let's say hello to let's see here. Let's
say hello to David, who's in southern California. Hello David, Welcome,
Hello man, Happy New Year's yes, happy new Year? Is it?
(19:22):
What year are you saying? Happy New Year? For twenty
twenty three twenty three. Can you say Happy New Year?
All right? Can you say Happy New Year to Coop?
Can you let it? He loves he loves people. Yes,
Happy New Year's Coop, Coop, Happy new Year. He's very excited,
he's smiling, he's so happy. Okay, I wanted to say
(19:42):
something about After Years show went out the error. Jonas
Knox comes on after you right on many of these
fine Fox Sports radio affiliates. The great Jonas Knox, a
man that played Chuck E Cheese heard the radio. Yeah, well,
well last night he said he felt sorry for Carl's career.
(20:08):
He said that on the air. Yeah, he actually said that.
I think he's off. Jonas should be taking off the
air of the alright, David, do you not get sarcasm? David? Well,
I guess what I think. Joe Biden's looking for somebody to,
(20:31):
you know, work on his garbage cans. Oh yeah, are
you going? Are you going third round? Are you going political?
Is that what you're doing that? David? You're going to political?
Nobody political, but you're along that. Wait wait, wait, you'll
actually get a kick out of this, right, You're you're
(20:53):
an old timer, David, you'd admit you're an old timer, right,
you'll get a kick out of this, right, I think
I think you'll appreciate this. So the tease this, it
was Lambeau Field and Rigby Field are in danger. So
at the University of Southern California better known as USC,
the wokesters over there have decided to ban the word field.
(21:13):
They've determined at the University of Southern California, they're much
better people than us. Yes, they've determined the word field
is racist and they will use the term practicum instead.
That practicum is more acceptable. What's that? You can No,
I'm not I'm not making I wish I was making
(21:36):
this up. But it's bizarro world here. The university said
the term field may have connotations for descendants of slavery
and immigrant workers. Therefore, they've decided to no longer use
the word field. They're getting rid of the word field
and that's it. So virtue signaling is alive and well
(21:59):
at the University of Southern California. Wow, that is uh,
what are we what are we gonna call? What are
we gonna call Wrigley Field and lambou Field. We're gonna
have to change the name. I guess we just call
it Lambeau, just Wrigley, just get rid of the field part.
Put something else in there, man, We always call it
Wrigley space. Well, I know I'm listening this bad. You
(22:20):
know what kind of goblets are in space? That's offensive, man,
And those who are pressed aliens out there and outer space. Okay,
I don't know. I don't know them, but there are
those old goblins out there and outer space. We got
to look out for him. I'm worried about him. Okay,
I don't even know who they are, but I'm worried
about him. All right, thank you. David Going go Away
is David who listens all night to our show and
(22:42):
then the show after ours, and just keeps listening and
listening and listening and listening and listening and listening and listening.

give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on

(23:26):
Back to the NFL, where the good news continues for
Buffalo Bill's defensive back tomorrow, Hamlin. Remember he was obviously
hospitalized in Cincinnati, then he was transferred to a hospital
in Buffalo. Now he has been discharged from Buffalo General
and he is going home, or he probably is home already,
and we'll continue to rehab from home. End with the team,
(23:47):
So continue to make positive strides tomorrow. We talked about
this in a previous episode of the show. But does
he come back to play in the NFL if this
was if they determine it wasn't a pre existing situation,
He doesn't have a bad ticker and this is just
a like the Chris Pronger thing where he got hit
and that's what what he causes he come back to play.
(24:08):
And then if he does come back to play, doesn't
he have to be on the Bills for the rest
of his career, like he can't play, he can't go
out and play for like the Lions or the Falcons.
Like he's got to be in Buffalo. This guy's got
to be a Bill the rest of his career, right,
He's got like a lifetime employment in Buffalo. I wouldn't
go that far. No, I wouldn't No, I wouldn't say
that really. I think he definitely gets a shot with
the Bills to come back. But if they say no,
(24:30):
because they have to keep him on the team the
rest of his career, they don't have to keep him around, ye,
I would say no, not for the rest of his
an icon. This guy's the biggest thing that's happened to
Buffalo since well, you know, Thurman Thomas losing his helmet
in the Super Bowl something like that. Thank you. It
is the Bannet Mallor show. As we press on and
(24:51):
on and on through the overnight hours, just Joshda, something
smells fishy about the that dolphin monologue a real life
Poulter situation, even that creepss Haze wouldn't disrespect the dead
like that. Miami can stay in concussion protocol, but I'd
go with a relocation protocol like now, like now, So,

the phones we go. Let's say hello to top Flight.
(25:40):
Who's flying around Texas? Hello? Top Flight? Welcome, you're on
the Ben Maller Show on Fox. Hey, what's up? Then? Welcome?
Come get in last night for newby Night. But my
supervisors decided to do his job and I didn't get
to listen to the third hour. That's a bad job
by your supervised. Do you need me to talk to
(26:01):
your supervisors, top Flight? I'll have a word with your supervisor.
We're trying to do a radio show. You're trying to
provide content. You're trying to entertain the American people, top Flight,
and you're being held back by the man back job
by this all right, I'm multitasking by entertaining and who
by security for the world exactly, And a happy employee
does a better job. You can be on the phone
(26:22):
and still keep your eyes like you can be like
a hawk looking around right and doing your job. That's right,
damn right, absolutely, you can multi task. That's wrong with
these people anyway. You're on the air now, top Flight,
how can we help you? Oh? Well, I know you're
talking about the dolphins being cursed, but you know, my
cowboys and cursed ever since we got Jerry Jones. We
(26:44):
can't do nothing because you keep doing bad contracts. And
you know, so what would you like to do? Would
you like to have like an exorcist come in and
and have like a Hollywood exorcism with a spinning, spinning table,
spinning forks and knives and glasses and plates and all that.
(27:05):
We need something done because we keep getting let down
every year, you know, we get our hopes up. I mean,
I'm being realistic, guy, I love them. I can't switch
because I was a kid with a Danny White jersey
and that's just where I grew up, So I have
to be loyal. So so wait a minute, top Flight,
top Flight, you're letting little top Flight, little baby top
(27:28):
Flight punished grown up top Flight, Right, the little kid
in you is now punishing the grown up in you. Hey,
I gotta stay loyal. No, I'm not a switch person.
You're not a switcher. You're not You're not a team hopper. No. Now,
the rules are top flight. If the Cowboys ever leave Dallas,
you can change teams because I was. I grew up
(27:50):
in La Rams fan, and then the Rams left for
Saint Louis and so then I changed teams after that,
but then the Rams came back. So you're allowed to
do it if your team leaves. I think there is
a better chance that Goblins come down later today and
announced they are visiting the planet than the Cowboys ever
leaving Dallas. But that's just me. That's just me. So
now that ain't happening. No, that'll never happen. All right, Well, listen,
(28:14):
top Flight, good luck to your cowboys. You're very concerned.
On a scale of one to ten, how concerned is
top Flight? The Cowboys are gonna blow it against the Buccaneers,
who have a losing record on Monday Night. Man, that
is I'm gonna say eight. I think we got a
chance against them, but if we get pairs them, it
(28:35):
ain't looking good. Yeah. Yeah, Like I'm leaning this point
to the Cowboys actually winning that game on Monday, because
people don't realize how much the Buccaneers suck. Also, but
if you look at how the season ended, Dak Prescott
and Tom Brady was not particularly great this year, but
the last part of the year, Brady and Dak Prescott
were essentially the same player. Pretty wild statistically, they were
(28:58):
almost identical side by side. Let's go to Jay, who's
next up, and he is on the Ben Maller Show
on Fox. Hello Jay, Welcome in Rochester. Jay has left
the building. Let's say hello to Poppy, who's in sun Diego.
Hello Poppy. Picking with Poppy, picking your nose with Poppy. Hey, Hey, well,
(29:23):
I'm glad it's that movie night because those callers. But

(30:08):
in the day, do you have to go upstairs? And
I saw a person It was kind of big with
a big mustache. And I was like thinking in my
head is that who I think it is? I was like, no,

Well could you be any more vague? Could you be
any more vague? Poppy? Yeah? Well I was. It was
(30:29):
It was that Donald Trump. It was President Donald Trump?
Was there? No? So on the side of that, you
gotta run? Does anybody else want to take a guess?
Who wanted to continue going? Oh, this is a fun
game here. Anybody want to play the game? Anybody? No?
One to play the game? All right? So I saw
a big guy band with a big mustache and I
was like, is that Ron? And I'm thinking of my
(30:51):
head is that Ron? And I was like, this is
a most famous person. I picked up doing and over

my wendow. I was like, I was like, yeah, is
this is this? You rock? He's like Ron Jermy. I

I'm talking about the Ron German, you know, the famous guy,
(31:12):
you know, the one that you know, the kind of
acting Toppy doesn't want to do. And then I was
like Rod. And then he got in the car and
I was driving up to his location, you know where
he hangs out. He was going to North Hollywood. And
when I was going right there, He's like, what nationality
are you? And I was like, Ron, I'm actually American.
He's like, yeah, yeah, but you look as you know,

of connections at the Sorry, I can't make this up.
(31:57):
I make this up. You couldn't you can make it up.
But isn't he like I know, he was on trial
for like, uh like rape. I believe I think I
think he's yeah, but they just uh, they just deemed
him unable to uh stand trial because of dementia. You
think he really has dementia from all the porn or

Thank you Poppy. Porn stories with Poppy. I got a
(32:38):
Ron Jeremy's story too. By the way, I bet you,
I bet you. You You guys didn't know that I was
living in Hollywood. I was driving. I was stuck in
gridlocked traffic. This is a long time ago. I'm gonna
date myself. And we were going like we were not moving.
There was an accident, and so we were I was
on Hollywood Boulevard and there was a this how long
ago was There were a bank of pay phones and
(33:00):
this guy standing in a Hawaiian shirt halfway unbuttoned, was
screaming into the pay phone and people were hanking their horns.
They were so excited because it was it was the
aforementioned Ron Jeremy. At the time, he was on a
he was on a payphone, and it was very annoying
because I was pissed off. I was in traffic and
(33:22):
then all these people were honking their horns. I had
a headache. It was a pain in the ass. All Right,

Football Hall of Famer Bill Parcels and Blank. It's the
only head coaches ever to follow up a Super Bowl
victory by taking another team to the playoffs in their
first season with that particular team. Jeff is going with
(35:16):
George seafort is his answer. Robbie the Mariner fan says
Lamar Jackson is the way to go. Who else do
we have? Page down, page down. The Dixter Dick Vermeio
guests by a Reek in Minnesota. Page down, page down
to Shaun Watson from alfh the Alien Opineerboard. Deshawn's really
going for it in that photo. Jason Kidd from furg Dog,
(35:36):
Durrell Reeves from Plastered Paul's burner account, We've got the
Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart guests by Rob in Vegas.
Bengal fan Brian says the duff Man is the answer.
Pizza delivery guy from Late Night Drug Tester the Viking Legend,
Bud Grant from Midnight Walker, Razor Ramone from Luke the
(35:59):
Vending Guy, Page down, page down, Cowboy Killers says it
has to be Stiffler's mom. Matt the Warrior Raider as
Fan clearly cheated on this bad job by him. He
didn't get both questions right, Eddie? Do you have an answer? Eddie? Yeah,
I'm gonna go with former Bengals head coach Sam Wish
Sam which I love. Sam weis may rest in peace
of the correct answer is not Sam, which it is.
(36:21):
Mike Homegrin Mike Holmegren is the answer. Doug Peterson was
actually on the Packers when they won the Super Bowl,
and then eventually Homegren went to Seattle. They made the
playoffs and here we go. It's how about that to
the third degree. This is one big band gets grilled.
(36:42):
Whoop that loop. When asked if there was any result
for the Cowboys this weekend that could put Mike McCarthy's
job in jeopardy, Jerry Jones essentially sidestep the question, saying
that he has a lot more to evaluate McCarthy on
than just this playoff game. Ben, is there a chance
McCarthy could get the boot? Absolutely, We're talking about the
Cowboys more a little bit later. But Jerry Jones is
(37:02):
not getting any younger. He's been teased. He has not
been pleased since the nineteen eighties or nineties for the
Cowboys the early nineties. And so there are big name
coaches out there. There's Sean McVay, who could be yours
if the Cowboys want him. There's Sean Payton. So there
are options for Jerry Jones that are more attractive right
(37:23):
now than Mike McCarthy. Next, the Kentucky Wildcats blue ad
twenty eight game home win Street by losing to South
Carolina on Tuesday. This has caused the pressure to rise
on John Calipari, as Kentucky hasn't been the powerhouse fans
are used to the last couple of years, Ben as
Calipari lost his mojo, well, it certainly seems like a
chunk of the fan base in Kentucky has turned on him.
(37:44):
The Wildcats have lost thirty games since COVID started. They're
forty five and thirty in the COVID era, so clearly
they're suffering from brain fog there. They're no longer invincible.
The Wildcats and this name image likeness thing. You'd think
that John Caliparie would have been able to navigate that,
but that appears to have been the poison pill. He's
(38:05):
gonna have to reinvent himself or he'll be coaching at
Arizona State next Rob Gronkowski spoke with the media and
said that he never really had the itch to play,
and that's why he never seriously thought about making a
return this season. I want asked about maybe next season,
and Gronk said, well, maybe it's someone through like half
the salary cap at him. Ben, Do you think he's
done for good? He's lying? Could we know that? Gronk?
(38:26):
He tried to come back this year. He put out feelers,
the fish were not biting and so he didn't come back.
I don't believe what Gronk is selling here. How did
we do? He passed this edition that is a winner.
You can put it on the board, yes,
