on the Friday extravaganza Thursday into Friday, the wee hours
(01:31):
of the night and morning, and our lead this hour
coming from the boom Tube, say what little Friendly Giggles
Morning TV banter which still has legs here as we
are grasping on to just about anything at this point.
So so that is where the location Little Morning TV
(01:52):
that the New York Giants safety person by the name
of Julian Love. I don't know if you know who
that is. We didn't know who he was until not
that long ago. But Julian Love of the Giants was
working on his inner blabbermouth ninja's skills, which we approve of.
We're not against that, and he was commenting on Nick Siriani,
(02:17):
the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, if you
didn't hear this, we're gonna play it for you in
a second, or perhaps you missed it, but it was
during in a appearance on something called Good Morning Football,
which is part of the prob the news at the
NFL network, A little nonsense funding giggles on the NFL. Now,
Julian Loved very loose lips here, and the Giants, of
(02:40):
course long gone from the NFL postseason, but they were
talking about the matchup the Eagles and the Chiefs and
the Super Bowl, and Nick Sirianni and some of his
sideline shenanigans. As the Eagles are now in the Super Bowl,
as they took out the Giants, earlier took out the
(03:00):
forty nine ers, and now they're gonna try to take
out the Chiefs. So what exactly did this cat Julian
Love say. So, as Warner Wolf would say, let's go
to the audio tape. You know, he's a guy who
really is doing a good job because he's not getting
in the way of his team. He has an experienced
roster from top to bottom offensive defense. You see this stuff, though,
(03:22):
like what's your reaction as a player, and that guy's
doing that. I don't like it. I don't like it
at all. I mean, he's he's in for a free
ride right now. You guys can coach this team and
you can concede, all right. So let's that last part,
that's the money quot They're all out. He's in for
a free ride right now. You guys can coach this team,
and everyone loves all right, So let us discuss the
(03:45):
question here. The Giant safety Julian love saying that the
Eagles coach is getting a free ride. Anybody can coach
that team. That's essentially what he said. You heard it
for yourself. Are you in or out on that statement?
So I am in on that statement. I am in
on that statement. App solutely, absolutely in on that particular statement.
(04:10):
I've got metamorphosis. We've got that the eighty twenty. And
if that was not enough for you, we also have
the exam heard around the world. So we'll combine all
of these things together and that will be the foundation
of this malar monologue. So, hey, we'll start with this
Nick Sirianni, who, even if you like the guy and
(04:34):
you're carrying the water for him, is benefiting from the
fruits of the labor of the players. It's kind of
how that works, right. Coaching is important, but talent is essential. Now,
the uneducated fan, we'll say, hey, wait a minute, time out,
time out, time out. The Eagles only added one offensive
(04:55):
player going into this year, So how big a difference.
It's the same team essentially, No, no, no, no, no.
That one new player. The puzzle piece that completed the
puzzle a J. Brown. So what can Brown do for you?
His mere presence has unlocked the hidden world of Jalen Hurts.
(05:17):
Hurts has undergone a metamorphosis from imperfect. He's not perfect,
but he's above average. Don't didn't play well in the
last game against the forty nine ers. You wouldn't know
that by the final score. But Philadelphia has been able
to dominate in the trenches, and the offensive and defensive
lines have controlled much of these games here and there's
(05:41):
other things involved in the secret sauce. But they're adding
that receiver from the Tennessee Titans who occasionally he doesn't
even catch passes, he's a decoy. But that has pushed
Philadelphia into a chance to win a Lombardi in less
than two weeks in Arizona. Now Part B of this,
(06:02):
let's go back to Syriani. So Sirianni taking some criticism.
There's also a lot of people running to defend him,
including some of the guys in the Eagles locker room.
I know you were shocked by that, that this is
for standard chaw here they were rushing to push back.
How dare you? What's wrong with you? Shame on you?
You can't sure that about my coach? Kind of what
(06:25):
you have to say if you don't say that, that
becomes problematic. You do what you gotta do. Now, the
most verbose that we could find from the Eagles a
linebacker by the name of Brandon Graham. And what did
Brandon Graham say? Well, he had a long rant about
(06:46):
his coach. And let's give you a little taste. Let's
go to the audio tape. Here's the Eagle linebacker Brandon Graham,
defending his coach on it. I just know that coach
Sirianni is, it don't matter what he did last year.
What a team that you know, No, Siriani is, uh,
that's too much on it. I just know that coach
Sirianni is, uh, it don't matter what he did last year.
(07:09):
What a team that you know, nobody thought was gonna
do much. You know, he ended up getting us to
the playoffs and then for his second years. I mean,
that's what you pupposed to do. You supposed to get better,
You supposed to bring players in to get to do
exactly what you need them to do, and we did that.
I mean, he say, anybody can coach this team is like, man,
it don't matter because at the end of the day,
(07:31):
it's on your GM and your president and people to
be able to bring guys in and sign guys, and
how people want to come to this organization. So, I mean, man,
it's a whole bunch of different factors other than just
him talking about coach Sirianni. It's just, you know, a
lot of people just mad because of what happened this season.
I understand, but yeah, I mean it definitely carried no
(07:52):
weight because I mean, coach proved itself each and every day,
and if you're not in here, you really want to
know that. So it's just all lip service. Oh it's
just lip service. Well that was a long soliloquy. So
how do you dissect Brandon Graham's argument in defense of
his coach? So it made for a better headline than reality.
(08:14):
You heard it? Were you blown away by that? I
know in the blogosphere that read as Eagle linebacker Brandon
Graham passionately defends the honor of his coach, and for
those that have the attention span of a goldfish, that works.
But studies have confirmed over the years that most people
don't actually read the story. They instead just read the headline.
(08:37):
In fact, it's the eighty twenty r eighty percent of
people react to the headline, and only twenty percent of
people will actually scroll through the actual story. And I
think the numbers about sixty percent of people will will
share something like send a text or something on Facebook,
Twitter or whatever, Instagram, TikTok, but they'll send a link
(08:58):
that they didn't even click on just because they liked
the headline. But on this one, Brandon Graham is serving
up a soup, the soup of the day, and that
would be alphabet soup, a bunch of words, letters made
into words. It sounds powerful. However, when you actually paris
what was said here, Graham did not exactly disagree with
(09:21):
Julian Love. That's the part that I kept waiting for,
the big disagreement. He didn't actually address specifically what Julian
Love had said. In fact, he essentially endorsed it by
saying the GM of the eagles and the president brought
in elite talent. And he also at the end there
he gave the boiler plate to answer, if you're not
in here, you don't know. That's always the default positioned
(09:45):
by the jock, by the meathead. That's where they go. Now,
the last word here has Nick Sirianni established himself as
a top tier coach in only a couple of years
on the job. So the answer is no. The report
card is in comp there's an eye for incomplete. It
is a small sample size. But he's using a ballpoint
(10:06):
pen and a notepad to write the story. But he's
not done with it. And it's still early on and
we've seen coaches get off the good starts and then
vanished away. But so far fortune has been on his side.
There's been some good scheduling outside of the division the
NFC East. The Eagles played two playoff teams outside of
(10:28):
the divisional opponents, the Vikings and the Jags, so they
didn't have exactly a murderer's role. And Nick Sirianni's claim
up until this season, his claim to fame was the exam,
the draft exam. You remember, Sirianni's the guy. This was
a year ago or a year and a half ago
(10:48):
when Sirianni said how they would determine what players they
wanted a draft. They were playing rock paper scissors with
prospective players in the draft prospects, and they were trash
talking the guys. He was trash talking the players to
gauge how competitive they were appelly. That worst we should
all be playing rock paper scissors. The thing that is
(11:10):
really rubbing like sand paper on many is Sirianni's very arrogant,
cocky demeanor on the sidelines and his gyrations are not
the norm, and it annoys a lot of people. They
get very upset by that. And my theory is that's
where a lot of this is coming from. We'll find
(11:34):
out there's one more massive game and the difference here.
We all know, if you win the super Bowl, you're oh,
all time great. If you lose, you're forgotten. And he's like, well,
you got to a super Bowl, you didn't win. There's
a lot of teams that got to a super Bowl
didn't win, and you kind of brush them off. You
brush them off to the side. You're like, okay, that's
(11:55):
how you go over there. Be sure to catch live
editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio Hip A Burned Brain. Well, come man, it's the
beginning of another hour of The Ben Maller Show. We
are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder as we

our lead this hour coming from the Valley of the
Sun that'll be the epicenter of the football world next
(13:06):
week super Bowl fifty seven. Be there or save your money.
But the Cardinals are not anywhere near a Super Bowl team,
but yet they're the focus of this because this hour
one of the few teams that has yet to hire
a head coach. There are but two. It's Arizona in Indianapolis.
But I want to focus on the cars. We talked
(13:27):
a lot about the Colts. I haven't talked much about
the Cardinals. So many people have been wondering why Arizona
has yet to hire somebody, Like, what are you waiting?
What are you waiting for? Come on, dude, hire somebody.
What we may now have an answer. And I'm not
sure if you saw this or not. Maybe you actually
have a life and you don't pay attention to this
(13:49):
kind of nonsense. But we are hearing that Kyler Murray's
presence is causing high anxiety neurosis, if you will, for
prospective coach. Now, that's the back fence talk that has
come out of the NFL's assembly, the conference in Mobile,
Alabama at the Senior Bowl where a lot of these
(14:10):
rumors originate from at the Senior Bowl. So Pro Football
Network tells us that these whistle carrying sideline heroes, masters
of the XS and o's do not want to be
handcuffed to Kyler Murray. That's the report. Now there has
(14:31):
been a different report that has been trying to squash that.
So you have conflicting dueling banjos here. Someone is not
telling the truth. So let us discuss the question, are
you gonna go thumbs up or thumbs down to Kyler
Murray hurting the efforts of the Cardinals to hire their
preferred coach. So I am going two thumbs up. I
(14:56):
got two thumbs up my observations. You've got su Case,
Chicken Wing and Miss Cleo, and we will lock all
of these things together and we are going to make
a cactus, which is right now, what the Cardinals are
sitting on. A prickly cactus. That's what they're sitting on.
(15:16):
So Number one, the Cardinals right now are being haunted
and they deserved this. They deserved to be haunted for
the incompetence they did as a as an organization. I
(15:40):
know the people that did it are all gone. Everyone
of them that was involved in that just about has
been let go. But they deserved the Arizona Cardinals to
be haunted by this Kyler Murray contract. When I saw
this headlines or color me shocked, I can't believe it.
I'm baffled by this. Holy smokers, unless I'm not. It
is a teachable moment. Mistakes have consequences, and it should
(16:04):
be a tough sell, right. I know, there's only thirty
two of these jobs, and everyone jeams to being an
NFL coach when you go into coaching, I can be
an NFL head coach someday. But the good candidates, right,
and let's separate the premiere candidates from the run of
the mill candidates to the fringe candidates. The top candidate
is reluctant to take this job. And that tells you
(16:26):
what a garden gnome Kyler Murray happens to be. That
it's a lose lose situation. That Murray, in the eyes
of the premier coaching candidate, is a suitcase. He's a
suitcase filled with your ranium. He's radioactive. It's an atomic nightmare.
(16:48):
Bad attitude check, bad teammate check, rubs coach is the
wrong way check check. Check he's a me guy. Check
generally uncoachable. Check his true passion, his true calling in life,
video games. Check he checks all those boxes. Shout out,
call of duty. Now making matters worse. The Arizona franchise
(17:12):
knew this. They realized that they were making a terrible mistake,
and they attempted to put a safety net in. It's
like doing a high wire act and you're like, you know,
I might fall. The wind is blowing here over Niagara Falls.
I might want to put some kind of net down
so at least I have some protection. And instead he
(17:33):
gacked right. They tried. They at the last minute, they
briefly attempted to hold the fun sized quarterback alligator. I
was Murray accountable, force him to do the bear minimum
by watching game tape for just a few hours a week,
putting down the controller. And what did Kyler Murray do?
He gocked. This is a troucious This is like a
(17:56):
war crime. And they tell you the guy's got zero
self away right about how bad that looked because he's
entitled and he lives in a bubble and he was
able to use the social media blowback. The Cardinals, the
cowards that they are as an organization, they caved in
and they handed over even more power to little Napoleon,
(18:19):
their quarterback, letting him neglect the playbook. And now here
we are they need a coach. And suddenly everyone's like, okay,
we'll call you. Don't call us. We're not that interested.
We're not that India. You know. We'll put you in
the friend zone is what we're gonna throw. All right,
we'll be friends. Maybe in a couple of years when
this guy's done. Will be good? All right? Now, Page two,
(18:41):
So what can the Cardinals do to fix everything that's
gone haywire in this Kyler Murray contract snaffoo? So if
you take a couple of steps back and you look
at the big picture, you look out at the landscape here.
They've got to swallow their medicine, as painful and as
bad tasting as that is, and and let the sands
(19:04):
of the Arizona Desert fall where they're gonna fall. But
the Cardinals are their knee deep right now in manure. Okay,
they're in manure, and there is only one escape portal.
There's only one a trade, that's it, and even that
(19:25):
would be a dicey proposition. But they have to find
a way and to convince a team that's also filled
with a bunch of Dodo birds like the Texans or
the Saints, to take this albatross. Kyler Murray the greater
fool theory, right, find the greater fool to take your
(19:45):
your problem off your roster. But since Kyler is injured
right now, he's damaged. You can't get rid of him.
Who's who exactly is gonna you say? Every time I
say you can't do something, it happens. But it's hard
for me to imagine that Murray's gonna miss probably half
the season if not more next year, is going to
be available in a trade and someone would take it.
(20:07):
So that has to be off the table with your thing.
So Kyler is like he's essentially giving the franchise a
w W f old school not wwwwf old school style
cross face chicken wing in terms of long term success
in the nearer future. He has grabbed them by the
(20:28):
chin and he is attempting to separate the head from
the body from the rest of the body. There he's wrapped,
He's wrapped up. This team is wrapped up in knots
with Kyler Murray. And that's that's just the alright, final point.
So how does this chapter play out for the cards?
(20:48):
So this is the part where I tell you that
I am a distant relative of Nostre Damas and friend
of Nostruds. But on this one we reached out to
the ghost of Miss Cleo, the all knowing, all powerful
psychic line Miss Cleo who says that the Arizona coaching
candidates deserve better. They deserve better. So here's what you expect,
place holder seat filler. Think of this like the Academy
(21:13):
Awards that used to be a big deal when people
loved Hollywood and the glitz and glamor of the big
screen and all that back in the day, And at
the Academy Awards where people actually used to watch that.
They would put seat fillers in to make sure that
anytime the camera panned all the celebrities in Hollywood, all
the people, every seat was filled for aesthetic reasons. It
(21:35):
made for good TV. So the Cardinals, they need a
seat filler. The Cardinals need a coach to come in
so when they do an interview at halftime or before
the game, the coach can talk and he can be
on the sidelines there when they do the painting of
the camera to the coach with the nervous look with
the playsheet in front of his face there, and whether
or not they're good coaches is irrelevant. Like the possibilities
(22:00):
that are out there that we're hearing are Brian Flores,
who has an active NFL litigation against the league. And
if the Cardinals hire Flores, it would be like, hey,
let's let's hire him. I actually think Flores is an
okay coach, but let's hire him because that'll screw his
his lawsuit. That'll torpedo is legal case because you know, like,
we hired this guy, I mean, and they go to court. Now,
(22:22):
I think that case is gonna hap in arbitration anyway.
But if they did go to court, then Flores would
would have a tough, tougher road to hoe, if you will,
And that would be fun for our show because he's
a drill sergeant style coach and Kyler Murray wants to
be coddled, and so that would be good. But he's
not an attractive named Brian Flores because again he's suing
(22:43):
the NFL. Some of the other candidates vance Joseph. Anybody
who lives in Denver who likes the Broncos. You remember
the advanced Joseph reign of terror over the Broncos for
a couple of years, not that long ago. And somebody
I don't even know who this guy is, Mike Kafka
or Kafka the from the Giants who I don't know.
I've never heard of that guy. But he's a candidate
(23:05):
for the job. These are not more stimulating coaching candidates,
is what I'm trying to tell you. So I absolutely
buy the report that this is all a byproduct of
Alligator arms, Kyler Murray and his influence. That it's hard enough.
Every everyone has an ego, I get it, especially professional athletes.
To get to that level, you've got to be so
full of yourself you're an absolute a hole, but there's
(23:28):
different levels of a hole. And Kyler Murray is like next, next, next, next, next, next, next,
next level. Like he's at the very top of the
a whole spectrum and that's the issue. And he's also
not that good. That's the other problem. Be sure to

League Uncut with Chris Haynes and Mark Stein on the

iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
But here we go, Here we go, It's Meller. How
about that to the third degree. This is one big
band gets grilled. Yeah, this guy had purchased books, he
got his schedule, but the ANFOLO said we ran out
of quarterbacks. They only had thirteen teams in the NFC
(24:33):
at that time. All right, What do we have here,
Cooper Loop? What do we have? Kyle Shanahan told the
media on Wednesday that there isn't any scenario in which
Jimmy Garoppolo is back with the forty nine ers next season. Ben,
we all pretty much knew this already. Where do you
think Jimmy g goes? All? Right? So with Tom Brady
out of the picture, now, Jimmy ge moves up several
spots the favorite And Roberto's not gonna like this, but
(24:55):
I have the Raiders as the favorite if they don't
get Aaron Rodger's like Garoppolo, everyone's Plan B. He's the
Plan B. I wouldn't put it past the Patriots to
knock on the door of Garoppolo. They're not completely sold
on Mac Jones, but Garoppolo is gonna have a lot
of opportunities and he's an upgrade for the Jets, the Commanders,
the Colds. But I'd say the Raiders are actually at
(25:18):
the top because of the obvious ties with Josh McDaniel's
next Urban. Meyer was on a podcast when he discussed
the Jaguar success this season, and he pointed to the
team doing well in free agency. Ben, he obviously isn't
going to admit that Doug Peterson has coached the team better.
But exactly how much of the credit does Doug Peterson get? Well, okay,
(25:39):
the ego of Urban Meyer. He would rather Drake Bleach
than admit that he screwed up as an NFL coach.
I get it. But here's the way I break down
Doug Peterson coming father figure type. But I'm only going
to give him about thirty percent, I mean thirty percent
of the credit. The rest of it goes to the
players who actually performed on the field. But doesen Doug
(26:01):
Peterson did a good job. Good for him? Ultimately, the
players are the ones that are actually out there, and
so they get the Lions share of the credit. All right. Next,
it's being reported that talks to relocate the A's to
Las Vegas. I've heated up again, Ben. Do you think
a move to Vegas will completely change the culture of
the franchise. Are we gonna see big free agents on
the athletics? Well, I was told a couple months ago
(26:23):
that this is already going down the tracks like a
runaway train, that it's gonna happen. The A's are gonna
end up in Vegas, which sucks for Oakland because of
the crazy politics there in the Bay Area, but they
have no excuse. They're gonna have an influx of casino cash.
Vegas is a destination for young guys. Yes, Yes, how
did we do Coop? That is a win. That's a
(26:45):
solid win. I won going away like Secretariat. Fox Sports

good ones, you know, documentaries that had the Manti tail one,
they had the Aaron Hernandez one. Over the weekend, I
watched the and one uh episode of this untold series,
great documentary. Yes, it was really good. Yeah, I liked
(41:49):
it a lot. It just uh and it kind of
shocked me because I was watching it and I remember when,
you know, when I was in middle school and one
was like the biggest thing. I had a pair of
A one shoes, like everybody was all about and one
and I didn't even realize that they're gone, Like they
just kind of disappeared off the face of the earth.
They were like the street ball kings Man. Yes, they
owned So it's a it's an interesting wash to see
(42:11):
how it kind of fell apart and disappeared and what
happened to all those guys. So well, Nike decided they
didn't want it. I mean that was a big part, right,
you watched the documentary, It was like, yeah, yeah, He's like,

on Rotten Tomatoes right now. It's also on Netflix. It's
called Pamela A Love Story. And yes, this is Pamela
Anderson in her own words, talking about her life and
how you know, the that infamous video changed things for
her and you know, all kinds of stuff that she upset?
(42:56):
Is she though? Because Kim Kardashian made more money from
her video than Pamela Andrews. That's true because if I
if I remember correctly, I don't know, I was really young,
but I'm like, when Pamela Anderson's video came out, it
was still kind of like the earlier days of like
everybody being on the internet, and I just feel like
it wasn't as widely distributed as Kim Kardashian Pamela Anderson
(43:18):
and her day. Holy crap, man. Everyone was oh yeah,
