Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our Numeberfall and we are ready
to go in our number four. What an hour you
have decided to download? Here an hour number four, we
asked the question, how likely or unlikely is it that
Aaron Rodgers will retire from the Jets and not play
(00:22):
another snap after the snap of his achilles? Also, what
advice do you have for the New York Jet fans
on how to deal with Aaron Rodgers' season ending injury?
And do you believe that Peyton Manning really did not
realize that Zach Wilson was still on the Jets roster.
(00:44):
That's what it seemed like on his fledgling TV show
Monday Night. We'll talk about that and more right now
here it is Buckle up, buckaroo, it's our number four.
Dare I say the R word?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
The R word?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well, come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mather Show, we are in the air everywhere the
Musketeers as we enjoy a Kodak moment. How many people
today have no idea what that even means. Coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and you're splittingly
(01:30):
powerful microphones of fs are emmanating live from the stop
the truck stop of sports talk. We are broadcasting live
from the Tyraq dot Com studios. Tyraq dot com will
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
(01:53):
We're told that's a lot. Tyre rac dot com the
way tire buying showy and our lead this hour coming
from mister Rogers neighborhood. Now why are we going back
to mister Rogers neighborhood Because we have bosses here at
the mighty powerful FSR, which I am told is the
premier sports lineup in the nation. It says it here
(02:13):
in the studio, so that must be true. Anyway. One
of the mantras that the boss have is play the hits,
mom man, play the hits. It's called broadcasting, not narrowcasting.
And everyone in sports is chatting about Aaron Rogers and
the downfall of Aaron Rodgers. So it's back to Aaron
Rodgers we go. The horror show around the Jets sucks. Sucks.
(02:36):
So if you've not heard the latest on this, and
possibly not, there is a great debate going on right
now whether or not Air and Rogers will ever complete
a pass for the Jets, if he will ever play
for the Jets again. He did not complete a pass
(02:58):
in his Jets career for one four plays, Snap, crackle, pop,
turn out the last. The parties over before it even began.
Think of all the cake and the balloons, the confetti,
none of it was used. The highlight of Aaron rodgers Jets'
(03:21):
career is what him running on the field with the
American flag pregame. That was it on the nine to
eleven tribute. So, anyway, the debate going on whether or
not Rodgers will play again. The Achilles injury extremely painful,
and the rehab said to be agonizing. Agonizing, all right,
so let us discuss the question how likely or unlikely?
(03:44):
How likely or unlikely is Aaron Rodgers to retire from
the Jets because of this injury, to not play another
regular season snap as quarterback of the Jets or anyone
else for that matter. So I'm gonna I'm gonna tackle
this now. I'm gonna set the Malord Sportsbook odds at
(04:06):
plus one twenty. Now plus one twenty indicates that there
is a forty five percent chance a forty five percent
chance that Aaron Rogers never suits up for Gang Green again,
never ever, ever. So I've got Elizabeth Taylor, coffee shop,
(04:30):
and conglomerate, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make garlic fries, which
is just wonderful. I don't know who the first person
was to put garlic on top of fries. I don't know,
but I always think of like the San Francisco Giants
and going to that ballpark because that's where I first
(04:52):
experienced the magic of garlic fries. But that's what we're
gonna make, all right. So to lead off here or
to kick off, because we're talking f Aaron Rodgers. We
know that he is complicated. Every human being's complicated, but
Aaron Rodgers is more complicated. It's hard to get a
firm read on Rogers because he's quirky. He's extremely quirky.
(05:14):
Now that being said, Right that being said, we have
some intel based on the years and years of bloviating
about Rogers and his story, and there are clues that
Rogers has left little breadcrumbs, and we can choose to
eat those bread crumbs or not. Personally, I like when
(05:34):
there's cookie crumbs because I like eating those more than
bread crumbs. But nonetheless, you look at the Rogers story
and his mind. I look at what he did last
season with the package, didn't play well, and then I
look at all of the hoops that the Jets had
to jump through to get Rogers to come back, and
his mind was not really into it. He was wandering
(05:57):
towards retirement, and the Jets had to get down on
their knees, they get knee pads to convince Aaron Rodgers
to come back and play for them. And so the
fact that they had to twist his arm into kids
that he really wasn't that in dude. It seemed like
he enjoyed New York. He was going to Broadway shows,
going to Madison Square Garden for Knicks games and Rangers games,
(06:19):
and everyone was kissing his ass all over New York.
And he's the Great Savior and all that. But the
football part of it, having to stay in shape and working,
putting the extra work in. Did Rogers did he do it?
I don't know. Maybe he did. Maybe he hang out
in Malibu. Are there a lot of football fields in Malibu?
(06:41):
I've only been there a few times. I'm not allowed
in that area beautiful Pacific Ocean. All the celebrity a
holes live there in Malibu, and they all look down
at the peons who don't live there. I haven't seen
a lot of football field, and I've been there. I've
been there a few times for social events and whatnot,
and I don't recall ever seeing a football field.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But what do I know?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So, I mean, you think about he went to the
Darkness Retreat, checked that box. He melked it for months
and months and months. He's about to enter a new frontier.
He's gonna turn forty soon during this season, and then
that means he comes back next year. He'll be the
math on that forty one. See what I did there?
Did some malor math on the fly forty one next year.
(07:24):
So Aaron is rich, he's famous. He doesn't have a family,
he doesn't have kids, he doesn't have a I don't
even think he has a dog. He's a free spirit.
There's nothing holding him back, which could mean that he's
gonna keep playing, or it'll mean that he's I mean,
(07:46):
it really depends on how you interpret the evidence on that.
I don't think that's a dead giveaway of anything. You
can say, well, if you have a family. You want
to spend more time with your family. But you could
also say, well, you had a lot of downs on it.
There's this myth that you don't have a lot of
downtime when you play in the NFL, which is bull crap.
You have more downtime than if you have a real job,
like a like a real job where you put a
(08:07):
lot of hours, and you put hours in football. It's
different though, It's a different animal. And I will say
that to my last breath into a microphone. But he's
got a lot going on for him. He's always played
football's entire life. But to me, it comes down to this.
It is I call it the Elizabeth Taylor test. What
the f is the Elizabeth Taylor? It's old actress, no
(08:27):
go on, But it is the cologne, her line of cologne, passion,
pig skin passion. Does Aaron Rodgers still have a passion
for pig skin? Does he have it? If he does,
he'll come back and play. Because there's a lot of,
you know, a lot of the bull crap you got
(08:48):
to do in order to have your your tuck is
cleaned by the Jets fans. Do you want to do it?
We know that Rogers is not a fan of the
militaristic style scheduling of the NFL. We know he doesn't
like that, and he just wants to be able to
hang out. You know, he's a hippie. He wants to
jump in the VW van and go down to Joe
Rogan's house and drink some ayahuasca and that's it. Call
(09:11):
it today. Just that would be groovy, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Furthermore, we have got a fair amount of feedback. Believe
it or not. We have a bunch of Jets fans
that like this show. I don't know why, and a
number of you have reached out to me. Some of
you have been positive, most of you have been very
negative with what's going on. The feedback we've gotten from
the mal Ard militia wing that happened to support the Jets.
Most have given us the standard this is the most
(09:37):
Jets thing ever. In fact, we had a caller yesterday
that said that on the show, and we hear that
about the Mets and Jets. This is the most Mets
thing ever. This is the most Jets thing. It's like
those teams are intertwined together in the New York sports scene.
So the sound you heard when Aaron Rodgers crumbled. It
was the same noise a lobster makes when it's boiled along.
(10:00):
That was the sound that Jets fans made. It was
a primal scream, is what it was. And as a
as a public service here we need to help the
Jets fans and the malord militia deal with the internal
damnation of being a fan of Ganggreen. So what advice,
what advice do you have to the long suffering New
(10:23):
York Jet fan on how to deal with Aaron Rodgers
season ending injury. The first piece of advice is just
take a deep breath. I take a deep breath therapeutic.
And we mentioned primal scream. That would also be a
way that you could cope with this another primal scream.
But then after that you should go to the coffee shop.
(10:46):
And there's a name on the sign above the coffee shop.
It's called Stages. Have a cold. Now, I don't drink coffee.
I don't. I should. I've done overnight radio for a
long time, but I don't drink coffee. So go of
that coffee shop named Stages, and Jets officion natos. If
(11:06):
you are so inclined, you have to go through what
I call the five stages of sports fan grief. There
are five stages to this as a sports fan when
you think that something's going to happen and it does
not happen. And I relate to the Jets fans a
little bit. My favorite basketball team is the Los Angeles Clippers,
(11:26):
and I was convinced that the Clippers had won everything.
They got this guy named Kawhi Leonard from Canada, and
oh my god, it was the greatest thing. He was
the top player in basketball at the time. And here
I am thinking championships, championships, championship. Now the difference is
Kawhi's actually played not much, but he's played for the Clippers,
(11:47):
so and the Clippers did make a Final four. The
Jets haven't made a Final four with Aaron Rodgers, so
it's a little different. But the five stages that Jet
fans have to go through in dealing with the agony
of Aaron Rodgers injury. Now, step number one is we
all go through it denial. It's like, well, no, this
didn't really happen. You're gonna wake up and everything will
(12:10):
be back, and Aaron Rodgers be running out in the
field and he'll be playing against the Cowboys this weekend.
Then you've got anger. Now that's a great emotion. Anger,
I'm angry. You're salivating and really angry. Then you've got bargaining.
Then you're like negotiating, Right, there's bargaining. You're like, well,
maybe it's not that bad. Well, no, it's that bad.
(12:33):
So that's another stage. And then you've got depression, realizing
you're gonna watch Zach Wilson drop a deuce at the
fifty yard line every game, and you've got that, and
the Jets are going to run an offense where everything
is right at the line of scrimmage. That's depressing. And
then finally you accept the reality that well, maybe it's
(12:55):
not that bad because now you'll have your first round
pick and now you could tank, and but then you're
not bad enough to tank. And then you're like, well,
maybe this Zach Wilson will turn out to be Kurt
Warner two point zero or Nick Foles right, probably not?
Probably not all right, parting shot, Let's go to TV Land,
(13:18):
a place I am not that familiar with. I've just
learned a little bit about TV rectantly, so it has
come to our attention that a well known former NFL quarterback,
Peyton Manning, said something that was rather outrageous on I
Guess the cost of the Manning cast, and he had
a viral moment. It involves Aird Rogers. So I don't
(13:42):
know if you saw this or not. I did not.
Somebody sent me the clip here. But after Rogers left
the game in a golf cart. After that, Peyton Manning
said on that live television show that he did not
know that Zach Wilson was still on the Jets roster. Okay, now,
some people think that Peyton Manning was joking, that he
(14:05):
was being a comedian because he's funny like to tell jokes.
So do you believe that Peyton Manning did not realize
that Zach Wilson was still on the New York Jets
roster while plausibly broadcasting from a sofa somewhere a Jets game?
(14:28):
Do you believe that he didn't know? My answer, one
thousand percent, one thousand percent. Peyton Manning had no idea,
no idea, zippo. I am a believer of that. I
believe that Manning is a busy guy and he is
not just your typical retired quarterback. He is multitasking. And
(14:54):
if you were to make a big board of Peyton
Manning's priorities, preparation for the Manning cast is very low
on the list. He's got people to do that for him.
He's got underlings that will take care of that. That's
not a high priority. This guy is a media magnet
right now. Peyton Manning, he's rolling in the dough. He's
(15:18):
running a global media conglomerate with all the different shows
that he's in charge of. He was producing the Quarterback
Show for Netflix. He's got the Manning cast, He's got
a bunch of bunch of documentary. Like a couple of
years ago, I got asked, I think it was last year.
I got asked to do a documentary in one of
my buddies who does documentary, Hey, can you come in
and be one of the guys on the documentary? Say sure,
(15:38):
I don't know anything about it. And it was like
the History Channel and it was a Peyton Manning documentary.
It's like, oh okay, this slap Peyton Manning's name on everything.
So he's coordinating digital media content across the universe. You
think he's worried about Zach Wilson. He's sure as hell
ain't watching Jets exhibition games, and nor do I blame him.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I'm not either.
Speaker 1 (16:01):

(17:22):
the good news is we will likely not be talking

not realize that was you on Ancient Aliens on the
History Channel. Loved you on that show. Thank you, Roy now,
(17:47):
and I promise you if Peyton Manning had known I
was on that documentary, I would not have been on
that documentary. He's not probably not a fan, and nor
am I. But no, let's go to the phones. Here's
a blast in the past. I looked up on the board.
I said, wait a minute, this guy used to think
I used to call all the time and he vanished,
(18:07):
and now he's back. I thought he was dead. Who
Sleezy Cheese? You remember Sleezy Cheese Eddie.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
From How Could You Forget the Guys?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Sez It's an iconic call. He's in Wisconsin and Slazy Cheeze,
you're alive, Slazy ges When did you get out of jail? Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Man? It feels like I was in jail, you know.
But hey, I hear you guys again.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Where have you been, Sleezy. She's just been a long time.
It's been in years.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Man, I've went too. I went through two jobs since
I've been with you guys.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, because you keep getting better jobs. That's why in case,
the advertisers are listener. Because you get better jobs. That's
why you go through so many jobs. People want to
hire you. You're Sleezy Chase. They everyone wants Sleezy Jay's.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Aaron Rodgers could use it another job right now? Huh?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Now, were you one of those guys at that bar
in Milwaukee that was loading up on alcohol when Rogers
got hurt thinking it was free alcohol night and then
realized that they had to pay up the bar tab
when the Jets ended up losing the or winning the game,
rather than they had to pay up. What do you
see that video? That was a great video.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I think that was beer though.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
No, no, it wasn't free beer.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
The promotion was if the Jets lose, you got to
get there like before the game and then all they
and if the Jets lose, your bar tabs free and people.
Once Rogers got hurt, they assume there's no way the
Buffalo Bills could be choking dogs and lose to the Jets.
And they did, and then everyone's like, oh, they started
loading up on alcohol. And then the people at the
(19:41):
end when that last second conclusion they had to pay
up the bill. How crazy is that?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, Big Ben, I got I gotta ask you. Do
you think if if he was healthy, do you think
you would have shot at the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
No, not at all. It would have been a better
It would have been better for fledgling gas bags and
blowhards like me though, cause it would have been great
content if Rogers had played. It's now the Jets are
a nothing team. There's nothing to talk about because they're
boring socks. And you've got their Tony Robbins like motivational speaker,
coach and Robert Sala and he'll have highs like this guy,
(20:16):
Victor Brick. I used to I still work with Vick sometimes,
but it'd be like that anyway.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I know you're a Dodgers fan, but do the Brewers
have a shot?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No chance, No, No, it's the Dodgers of the braves
are winning the National League. If not, there should be
an FBI investigation. The Braves are the favorite.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I mean, if you've got to face Burns, Calta and.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And Woodroffe Brandon Wood. No, I'm not all right, sleezey cheez,
I gotta go. We'll talk to you in like two years.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yes, I'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh tomorrow, all right, Look at that sleazy cheese. They
go to Tim, who is hanging out in the Great
State of Texas. It's kind of a big state. Hellout, Tim, Welcome,
You're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Hello, mister Ben. How you doing.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yes, mister Ben, that's my name, mister Ben. Yes, what's
going on to welcome?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Yeah, I was trying to talk about Josh Allen on
you take about him. I wasn't very pleased on how
you thought about the game going.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
On with what was what was I supposed to What
was I supposed to do? He sucked? He was terrible.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I understand that he had a bad game, sir, but
you got to think about it. You know, his receiver
was butt hurt all season, you know, during the off season,
but hurt about things not going his way. Do you
think maybe the chemistry was kind of quite off with
things going on, you know, Plus they want to against
a good defense.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Defense, you're making excuses and they got he's got one
hundred he got one hundred and fifty million dollar contract.
How about you don't suck like that? How about that?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Who they got to coach him?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Then?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Maybe a quack they got rid of the they got
rid of the coach that that that was supposed to
be the head coach. Why not take care of the
head coach and fire him?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And then I think you're referring to Brian Dable, the
fat guy who's coaching the Giants.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yeah, they coached the Giants coach of the year, Brian Dabo. Yes, sir,
Well he.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Didn't look like the coach of the year against the
Dallas Cowboys when they lost forty to nothing. Did you
forget did he forget his way?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Oh no?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
But look they have a bat. What a rookie center
in the center is supposed to be like the head
of the offensive line.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Here's here's here's what I know, Tim. It's not just
one game or a couple of games. If you go
back to last season, the last ten regular season games
Josh Allen's played, he has seventeen touchdowns and eleven interceptions.
He has been a below average quarterback in that time.
His passer rating is like eighty five. In that stretch.
(22:47):
He has not been good going back to the middle
part of last season.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Well, that's what I'm talking about. Man like you, he's
probably just under a lot of pressure.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh yeah, you got everything you have ever Listen, let
me tell you, Tim, because they have no running Tim
can I I want to hide Tim. Listen, I want
to hire.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You have a receiver.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
No, they have a receiver that's a star receiver.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That but hurt.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I understand, Listen, I get it. But in this game
I gave Stefan Diggs. I would have if I was
a teammate at Josh Allen, I would have said, hey, dummy,
stop being a moron. That's what I was saying. Listen, thought, Okay, Tim,
call him out.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
That's cool. But look, you're someone has to talk to
him because you know, I understand, he's getting paid millions
of dollars. I understand. You gotta think about the pressure
of the game.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh the press pressure.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Oh of seventeen.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
They sat up.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Pressure.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Come on, there's a lot of pressure on it, and
you gotta think about it. There was a lot of pressure.
Quinton Williams talks pretty pretty good.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Take a breath, Tim, listen. I want to hire you
next time. I have like five terrible shows in a row,
whichull probably be next week, and I want to hire you.
And then when my boss calls up to chew my
head off, I will I will just have you talk
and you can say there's a lot of pressure. You
have a lot of pressure to the show. It's live radio,
you know, on five hundred radio stations. You know, you
(24:12):
never maybe Ben had a vocal court issue, Maybe he
ate some pasta and his voice was a little messed
up there because of the cheese on top of the back. Yeah,
I want every excuse. Is this actually Robby the Mariners family?
I know, right right, Mike, are you Robbie the Marner
or are you is this actually wait a minute, are
you Josh Allen? Are we talking to Josh Allen? You're
Josh Allen. Don't lie to me, sir. This is Josh Allen.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
I'm his advocator. I am Josh Allen's advocator, like Paul
Hayman is an advocator.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't think Josh Allen's I don't think his mother
defends him this much. My god.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
All right, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Someone has to all right, someone has to have his
man in the man's back. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
It's okay, man, all right, And remember Tim, if you
keep this up, Josh Allen's gona to put a restraining
order on you. Okay, So come on, I'll call all right.
I can't wait for your next tape, Thank you, Tim,
can't wait. He hit just about every excuse. If you
(25:13):
were to put a bingo card of excuses for Josh Allen.
The only one he didn't was the offensive line, coaches,
bad coaches, wide receiver Deevil wide pressure. Pressure. That's a
professional football for pressure, not high school pop order, you know,
college NFL.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
No? Indeed, now there's a camera, it's been captured on video. Yeah,
end up in a promo. No, that's accurate. Prey that
that's what they do. Isn't that Mooki's dance?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Originally?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Everyone does it? Though, why don't we have a dance
here at Fox Sports Radio? We should have a dance.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
What would we actually do it?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
We do a good segment which very rarely happens, not
much dancing, then that's good. But the one segment a
week that actually is decent that people somewhat enjoy, we
could have a dance all right? Like that?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You know, like the sprinkler or is that like that?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, it's all about the shoulders. Got to move the
shoulders and see you to go with the flow.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Seeing you do that makes me want to dance.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
It's a dance party, Eddie Ia Samos. I had to
just play a little song there. Yeah, is that it?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's it?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
No dance from you, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
No, give me a good segment and I'll dance.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That's impossible. I haven't had a good segment since. I
think twenty four was my last good segment. Actually know
when was the Peyton Manning. That was twenty oh nine,
the Peyton Manning versus the Saints.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I'm not good with yours?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Was that nine twenty?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I told you I'm not good with you.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
You're dancing when the Rams won thirty to thirteen in
Seattle last week?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, you were, you were dancing. You didn't see that coming.
I a little smirk, but mainly it was shot in
freude for I mean Matt Stafford, but our guys, our
guys this se Yeah, I love Seattle's great to the show.
They've loved me in Seattle. I thanked them. But all
those all those twelve men, No, I was. I was
at the charge game, but I was flipping around.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
And did you know that Benn has had a long
standing feud with Gino Smith. Yes, I have started when
he was at West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, what he did in West Virginia. So this is
a great Geno Smith story. So Geno Smith played. I
remember that it was. I was at the gym in
downtown LA at twenty four hour fitness set Downtown LA,
the gym I go to and I don't know I
named the gym, but I did, so I was down
there and they had the pinstripe bowl on and it
(28:32):
was I think it was I think it was West
Virginia and Syracuse probably, and West Virginia won the game
and Gino Smith I think they won the game, if
I remember correcty the won the game. But whatever the case,
after the game, Gino did the interview, so I assume
they won, and he said something. It was like the
same thing about proving the doubters wrong and all that stuff.
It was the same I'm still complaining about this all
(28:53):
these laters. So I sent out a message on Twitter
and Geno Smith Versus responded to that message very angrily.
At the time, I did not realize it was Gino
Smith because this was like after the like it was
moments after the game. I just watched him on television
and it was like he was probably hadn't even changed
(29:14):
out of his shoulder pads in the locker room.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
I'm sure this was the Pinstripe Bull because they I'm
looking it up now the box scorers. West Virginia got
destroyed by Syracuse. Okay, so then maybe that thirty eight
to fourteen he played in the game. He was nineteen
twenty eight, so touchdown maybe that.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So they lost the game. But but I ripped him
on Twitter, and I think if it was at a
close game at halftime, what was the score happening? He was,
It was, yeah, I was twelve seven. Yeah, this was
a one score game. They got blown out and safe.
So I think I think I ripped him. I said,
this guy, you know, this guy's not gonna be like
good in the NFL or whatever. So he responded. But
I didn't know until he got drafted by the Jets,
(29:50):
because they flashed his Twitter handle on the screen and
I look back and I looked, I said, wait a minute,
that's the same guy like crazy nuts Marcel. Isn't that
crazy Marcel in Brooklyn?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Good morning? I know it's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
That's that, Marcel. Now, is it true? I got a
report that the Jets have contacted you to replace Aaron Rodgers.
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Oh? Yes, it is definitely true.
Speaker 4 (30:14):

Speaker 1 (33:22):
You picked, but you did not pick the international line. Sorry, Gordon?
And do you want to pick the international line? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Sure, all right?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Gordon in Okinawa, Hello, Gordon, Hey, how are you doing man?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I'm fine?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Thanks, I did.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I did not ask how you're doing, sir. I did
not ask.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I'm just saving.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I don't I don't care.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Thank you, Thank you, Eddie. I appreciate you for picking
the international line.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no, go ahead, Sean.
Who do you want to partner up with? And go ahead? Eddie? Shocking? Shocking? Okay?
Do you have like an Eddie bobblehead in your like
a shrine to Eddie?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Absolutely no, no, okay, I thought he did. Gordon, who
do you want to partner up with?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Their?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Gordon and Okinawa.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Coop's going on his honeymoon. He's not coming to you.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
All right, very nice there, Thank you, Gordon. We have
a list of words one to ten and there's a
number near each word. Seria, Sean and Eddie. You guys
are going first. So Sean pick a number. We start
out with ten points, we go all the way down
to nine, eight, seven, sixty five, and we throw the
word out number. What uding me? You see that? That's easy? Eddie?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Come on, Sean, are you familiar with the Garcia maneuver?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
No, don't do that, Eddie. You don't even need that.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
It's the Garcia mauver. It's I say a word and
then it's the opposite of that word.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
God, it's a wild West maneuver.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
All right, here we go, Pepper.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Uh, No, the Garcia maneuver one for a while an antonym. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
After today you are no longer allowed to explain the
Garcia maneuver.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
They have to they have to know explain the maneuver.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm sure you did at one point.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Definitely. All right, Gordon, do you have a number you
would like to pick? Here?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Gordon, let's go for the number four.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Then number four?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Uh the clue is hm hmm. How about hushed?
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Now?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
I was actually gonna say, hushed, your bastard.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Use your little Garcia maneuver, Eddie, come up quiet, okay,
all right, we'll use the Garcia go ahead, loudly.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Is the opposite the opposite?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
It sucks, all right, doesn't matter. How about mumble Gordon
in Okinawa.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Mumble and something I missed?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I just think about it. You come on, you got
it right inside you tip of your tongue. Come on,
I need an answer. Five four three two.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
At least he guessed something.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Quiet, Go ahead, Eddie, I didn't realize it was hard.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Sean, this is not the Garcia maneuver. We are now
just doing the plain old nothing maneuver. How about softly, softly,
I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Say whisper yea.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I didn't think we were gonna get that word about that?
All right, what do we have? He said it to.
Who's going next? Is that? Se Se? Pick a number?
Hurry up? Pick a number five?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
All right, number five?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
This one, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
You know the way you're playing this game. I think
it's about you. Let's go with stench, stench crash.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Now, how about how about come on, let's get on
the board, Gordon. How about we go with smell? No,
come on, Gordon, what do we are? We're out of time.
The word was oder heye h.
Hello and welcome. It's our Numeberfall and we are ready
to go in our number four. What an hour you
have decided to download? Here an hour number four, we
asked the question, how likely or unlikely is it that
Aaron Rodgers will retire from the Jets and not play
(00:22):
another snap after the snap of his achilles? Also, what
advice do you have for the New York Jet fans
on how to deal with Aaron Rodgers' season ending injury?
And do you believe that Peyton Manning really did not
realize that Zach Wilson was still on the Jets roster.
(00:44):
That's what it seemed like on his fledgling TV show
Monday Night. We'll talk about that and more right now
here it is Buckle up, buckaroo, it's our number four.
Dare I say the R word?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
The R word?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well, come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mather Show, we are in the air everywhere the
Musketeers as we enjoy a Kodak moment. How many people
today have no idea what that even means. Coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and you're splittingly
(01:30):
powerful microphones of fs are emmanating live from the stop
the truck stop of sports talk. We are broadcasting live
from the Tyraq dot Com studios. Tyraq dot com will
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
(01:53):
We're told that's a lot. Tyre rac dot com the
way tire buying showy and our lead this hour coming
from mister Rogers neighborhood. Now why are we going back
to mister Rogers neighborhood Because we have bosses here at
the mighty powerful FSR, which I am told is the
premier sports lineup in the nation. It says it here
(02:13):
in the studio, so that must be true. Anyway. One
of the mantras that the boss have is play the hits,
mom man, play the hits. It's called broadcasting, not narrowcasting.
And everyone in sports is chatting about Aaron Rogers and
the downfall of Aaron Rodgers. So it's back to Aaron
Rodgers we go. The horror show around the Jets sucks. Sucks.
(02:36):
So if you've not heard the latest on this, and
possibly not, there is a great debate going on right
now whether or not Air and Rogers will ever complete
a pass for the Jets, if he will ever play
for the Jets again. He did not complete a pass
(02:58):
in his Jets career for one four plays, Snap, crackle, pop,
turn out the last. The parties over before it even began.
Think of all the cake and the balloons, the confetti,
none of it was used. The highlight of Aaron rodgers Jets'
(03:21):
career is what him running on the field with the
American flag pregame. That was it on the nine to
eleven tribute. So, anyway, the debate going on whether or
not Rodgers will play again. The Achilles injury extremely painful,
and the rehab said to be agonizing. Agonizing, all right,
so let us discuss the question how likely or unlikely?
(03:44):
How likely or unlikely is Aaron Rodgers to retire from
the Jets because of this injury, to not play another
regular season snap as quarterback of the Jets or anyone
else for that matter. So I'm gonna I'm gonna tackle
this now. I'm gonna set the Malord Sportsbook odds at
(04:06):
plus one twenty. Now plus one twenty indicates that there
is a forty five percent chance a forty five percent
chance that Aaron Rogers never suits up for Gang Green again,
never ever, ever. So I've got Elizabeth Taylor, coffee shop,
(04:30):
and conglomerate, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make garlic fries, which
is just wonderful. I don't know who the first person
was to put garlic on top of fries. I don't know,
but I always think of like the San Francisco Giants
and going to that ballpark because that's where I first
(04:52):
experienced the magic of garlic fries. But that's what we're
gonna make, all right. So to lead off here or
to kick off, because we're talking f Aaron Rodgers. We
know that he is complicated. Every human being's complicated, but
Aaron Rodgers is more complicated. It's hard to get a
firm read on Rogers because he's quirky. He's extremely quirky.
(05:14):
Now that being said, Right that being said, we have
some intel based on the years and years of bloviating
about Rogers and his story, and there are clues that
Rogers has left little breadcrumbs, and we can choose to
eat those bread crumbs or not. Personally, I like when
(05:34):
there's cookie crumbs because I like eating those more than
bread crumbs. But nonetheless, you look at the Rogers story
and his mind. I look at what he did last
season with the package, didn't play well, and then I
look at all of the hoops that the Jets had
to jump through to get Rogers to come back, and
his mind was not really into it. He was wandering
(05:57):
towards retirement, and the Jets had to get down on
their knees, they get knee pads to convince Aaron Rodgers
to come back and play for them. And so the
fact that they had to twist his arm into kids
that he really wasn't that in dude. It seemed like
he enjoyed New York. He was going to Broadway shows,
going to Madison Square Garden for Knicks games and Rangers games,
(06:19):
and everyone was kissing his ass all over New York.
And he's the Great Savior and all that. But the
football part of it, having to stay in shape and working,
putting the extra work in. Did Rogers did he do it?
I don't know. Maybe he did. Maybe he hang out
in Malibu. Are there a lot of football fields in Malibu?
(06:41):
I've only been there a few times. I'm not allowed
in that area beautiful Pacific Ocean. All the celebrity a
holes live there in Malibu, and they all look down
at the peons who don't live there. I haven't seen
a lot of football field, and I've been there. I've
been there a few times for social events and whatnot,
and I don't recall ever seeing a football field.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But what do I know?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So, I mean, you think about he went to the
Darkness Retreat, checked that box. He melked it for months
and months and months. He's about to enter a new frontier.
He's gonna turn forty soon during this season, and then
that means he comes back next year. He'll be the
math on that forty one. See what I did there?
Did some malor math on the fly forty one next year.
(07:24):
So Aaron is rich, he's famous. He doesn't have a family,
he doesn't have kids, he doesn't have a I don't
even think he has a dog. He's a free spirit.
There's nothing holding him back, which could mean that he's
gonna keep playing, or it'll mean that he's I mean,
(07:46):
it really depends on how you interpret the evidence on that.
I don't think that's a dead giveaway of anything. You
can say, well, if you have a family. You want
to spend more time with your family. But you could
also say, well, you had a lot of downs on it.
There's this myth that you don't have a lot of
downtime when you play in the NFL, which is bull crap.
You have more downtime than if you have a real job,
like a like a real job where you put a
(08:07):
lot of hours, and you put hours in football. It's
different though, It's a different animal. And I will say
that to my last breath into a microphone. But he's
got a lot going on for him. He's always played
football's entire life. But to me, it comes down to this.
It is I call it the Elizabeth Taylor test. What
the f is the Elizabeth Taylor? It's old actress, no
(08:27):
go on, But it is the cologne, her line of cologne, passion,
pig skin passion. Does Aaron Rodgers still have a passion
for pig skin? Does he have it? If he does,
he'll come back and play. Because there's a lot of,
you know, a lot of the bull crap you got
(08:48):
to do in order to have your your tuck is
cleaned by the Jets fans. Do you want to do it?
We know that Rogers is not a fan of the
militaristic style scheduling of the NFL. We know he doesn't
like that, and he just wants to be able to
hang out. You know, he's a hippie. He wants to
jump in the VW van and go down to Joe
Rogan's house and drink some ayahuasca and that's it. Call
(09:11):
it today. Just that would be groovy, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Furthermore, we have got a fair amount of feedback. Believe
it or not. We have a bunch of Jets fans
that like this show. I don't know why, and a
number of you have reached out to me. Some of
you have been positive, most of you have been very
negative with what's going on. The feedback we've gotten from
the mal Ard militia wing that happened to support the Jets.
Most have given us the standard this is the most
(09:37):
Jets thing ever. In fact, we had a caller yesterday
that said that on the show, and we hear that
about the Mets and Jets. This is the most Mets
thing ever. This is the most Jets thing. It's like
those teams are intertwined together in the New York sports scene.
So the sound you heard when Aaron Rodgers crumbled. It
was the same noise a lobster makes when it's boiled along.
(10:00):
That was the sound that Jets fans made. It was
a primal scream, is what it was. And as a
as a public service here we need to help the
Jets fans and the malord militia deal with the internal
damnation of being a fan of Ganggreen. So what advice,
what advice do you have to the long suffering New
(10:23):
York Jet fan on how to deal with Aaron Rodgers
season ending injury. The first piece of advice is just
take a deep breath. I take a deep breath therapeutic.
And we mentioned primal scream. That would also be a
way that you could cope with this another primal scream.
But then after that you should go to the coffee shop.
(10:46):
And there's a name on the sign above the coffee shop.
It's called Stages. Have a cold. Now, I don't drink coffee.
I don't. I should. I've done overnight radio for a
long time, but I don't drink coffee. So go of
that coffee shop named Stages, and Jets officion natos. If
(11:06):
you are so inclined, you have to go through what
I call the five stages of sports fan grief. There
are five stages to this as a sports fan when
you think that something's going to happen and it does
not happen. And I relate to the Jets fans a
little bit. My favorite basketball team is the Los Angeles Clippers,
(11:26):
and I was convinced that the Clippers had won everything.
They got this guy named Kawhi Leonard from Canada, and
oh my god, it was the greatest thing. He was
the top player in basketball at the time. And here
I am thinking championships, championships, championship. Now the difference is
Kawhi's actually played not much, but he's played for the Clippers,
(11:47):
so and the Clippers did make a Final four. The
Jets haven't made a Final four with Aaron Rodgers, so
it's a little different. But the five stages that Jet
fans have to go through in dealing with the agony
of Aaron Rodgers injury. Now, step number one is we
all go through it denial. It's like, well, no, this
didn't really happen. You're gonna wake up and everything will
(12:10):
be back, and Aaron Rodgers be running out in the
field and he'll be playing against the Cowboys this weekend.
Then you've got anger. Now that's a great emotion. Anger,
I'm angry. You're salivating and really angry. Then you've got bargaining.
Then you're like negotiating, Right, there's bargaining. You're like, well,
maybe it's not that bad. Well, no, it's that bad.
(12:33):
So that's another stage. And then you've got depression, realizing
you're gonna watch Zach Wilson drop a deuce at the
fifty yard line every game, and you've got that, and
the Jets are going to run an offense where everything
is right at the line of scrimmage. That's depressing. And
then finally you accept the reality that well, maybe it's
(12:55):
not that bad because now you'll have your first round
pick and now you could tank, and but then you're
not bad enough to tank. And then you're like, well,
maybe this Zach Wilson will turn out to be Kurt
Warner two point zero or Nick Foles right, probably not?
Probably not all right, parting shot, Let's go to TV Land,
(13:18):
a place I am not that familiar with. I've just
learned a little bit about TV rectantly, so it has
come to our attention that a well known former NFL quarterback,
Peyton Manning, said something that was rather outrageous on I
Guess the cost of the Manning cast, and he had
a viral moment. It involves Aird Rogers. So I don't
(13:42):
know if you saw this or not. I did not.
Somebody sent me the clip here. But after Rogers left
the game in a golf cart. After that, Peyton Manning
said on that live television show that he did not
know that Zach Wilson was still on the Jets roster. Okay, now,
some people think that Peyton Manning was joking, that he
(14:05):
was being a comedian because he's funny like to tell jokes.
So do you believe that Peyton Manning did not realize
that Zach Wilson was still on the New York Jets
roster while plausibly broadcasting from a sofa somewhere a Jets game?
(14:28):
Do you believe that he didn't know? My answer, one
thousand percent, one thousand percent. Peyton Manning had no idea,
no idea, zippo. I am a believer of that. I
believe that Manning is a busy guy and he is
not just your typical retired quarterback. He is multitasking. And
(14:54):
if you were to make a big board of Peyton
Manning's priorities, preparation for the Manning cast is very low
on the list. He's got people to do that for him.
He's got underlings that will take care of that. That's
not a high priority. This guy is a media magnet
right now. Peyton Manning, he's rolling in the dough. He's
(15:18):
running a global media conglomerate with all the different shows
that he's in charge of. He was producing the Quarterback
Show for Netflix. He's got the Manning cast, He's got
a bunch of bunch of documentary. Like a couple of
years ago, I got asked, I think it was last year.
I got asked to do a documentary in one of
my buddies who does documentary, Hey, can you come in
and be one of the guys on the documentary? Say sure,
(15:38):
I don't know anything about it. And it was like
the History Channel and it was a Peyton Manning documentary.
It's like, oh okay, this slap Peyton Manning's name on everything.
So he's coordinating digital media content across the universe. You
think he's worried about Zach Wilson. He's sure as hell
ain't watching Jets exhibition games, and nor do I blame him.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I'm not either.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Sorry, it is the Ben Mahler Show. We will take
your calls. You know the number. If you want, you
can call, there's a line open for you. Otherwise we'll
be fine and lato. So how we have password the
word game of the Stars, shooting your shot times two,
shooting your shot times too. We'll get to that and
(16:22):
we will do it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Next.
Speaker 3 (16:27):

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Later this hour. If you stay with us, we password
the word game of the Stars, also shooting your shot,
Who did it better? We'll get to that coming up
here later on. If we began the hour with another
Jets theme Mallard monologue, the talk of the town, and
(17:22):
the good news is we will likely not be talking
much about the Jets later on. Get it all in
right now, and there'll be no reason, no reason to
do that later on at all. Rory says, I did
not realize that was you on Ancient Aliens on the
History Channel. Loved you on that show. Thank you, Roy now,
(17:47):
and I promise you if Peyton Manning had known I
was on that documentary, I would not have been on
that documentary. He's not probably not a fan, and nor
am I. But no, let's go to the phones. Here's
a blast in the past. I looked up on the board.
I said, wait a minute, this guy used to think
I used to call all the time and he vanished,
(18:07):
and now he's back. I thought he was dead. Who
Sleezy Cheese? You remember Sleezy Cheese Eddie.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
From How Could You Forget the Guys?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Sez It's an iconic call. He's in Wisconsin and Slazy Cheeze,
you're alive, Slazy ges When did you get out of jail? Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Man? It feels like I was in jail, you know.
But hey, I hear you guys again.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Where have you been, Sleezy. She's just been a long time.
It's been in years.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Man, I've went too. I went through two jobs since
I've been with you guys.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, because you keep getting better jobs. That's why in case,
the advertisers are listener. Because you get better jobs. That's
why you go through so many jobs. People want to
hire you. You're Sleezy Chase. They everyone wants Sleezy Jay's.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Aaron Rodgers could use it another job right now? Huh?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Now, were you one of those guys at that bar
in Milwaukee that was loading up on alcohol when Rogers
got hurt thinking it was free alcohol night and then
realized that they had to pay up the bar tab
when the Jets ended up losing the or winning the game,
rather than they had to pay up. What do you
see that video? That was a great video.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I think that was beer though.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
No, no, it wasn't free beer.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
The promotion was if the Jets lose, you got to
get there like before the game and then all they
and if the Jets lose, your bar tabs free and people.
Once Rogers got hurt, they assume there's no way the
Buffalo Bills could be choking dogs and lose to the Jets.
And they did, and then everyone's like, oh, they started
loading up on alcohol. And then the people at the
(19:41):
end when that last second conclusion they had to pay
up the bill. How crazy is that?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, Big Ben, I got I gotta ask you. Do
you think if if he was healthy, do you think
you would have shot at the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
No, not at all. It would have been a better
It would have been better for fledgling gas bags and
blowhards like me though, cause it would have been great
content if Rogers had played. It's now the Jets are
a nothing team. There's nothing to talk about because they're
boring socks. And you've got their Tony Robbins like motivational speaker,
coach and Robert Sala and he'll have highs like this guy,
(20:16):
Victor Brick. I used to I still work with Vick sometimes,
but it'd be like that anyway.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I know you're a Dodgers fan, but do the Brewers
have a shot?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No chance, No, No, it's the Dodgers of the braves
are winning the National League. If not, there should be
an FBI investigation. The Braves are the favorite.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I mean, if you've got to face Burns, Calta and.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And Woodroffe Brandon Wood. No, I'm not all right, sleezey cheez,
I gotta go. We'll talk to you in like two years.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yes, I'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh tomorrow, all right, Look at that sleazy cheese. They
go to Tim, who is hanging out in the Great
State of Texas. It's kind of a big state. Hellout, Tim, Welcome,
You're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Hello, mister Ben. How you doing.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yes, mister Ben, that's my name, mister Ben. Yes, what's
going on to welcome?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Yeah, I was trying to talk about Josh Allen on
you take about him. I wasn't very pleased on how
you thought about the game going.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
On with what was what was I supposed to What
was I supposed to do? He sucked? He was terrible.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I understand that he had a bad game, sir, but
you got to think about it. You know, his receiver
was butt hurt all season, you know, during the off season,
but hurt about things not going his way. Do you
think maybe the chemistry was kind of quite off with
things going on, you know, Plus they want to against
a good defense.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Defense, you're making excuses and they got he's got one
hundred he got one hundred and fifty million dollar contract.
How about you don't suck like that? How about that?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Who they got to coach him?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Then?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Maybe a quack they got rid of the they got
rid of the coach that that that was supposed to
be the head coach. Why not take care of the
head coach and fire him?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And then I think you're referring to Brian Dable, the
fat guy who's coaching the Giants.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yeah, they coached the Giants coach of the year, Brian Dabo. Yes, sir,
Well he.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Didn't look like the coach of the year against the
Dallas Cowboys when they lost forty to nothing. Did you
forget did he forget his way?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Oh no?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
But look they have a bat. What a rookie center
in the center is supposed to be like the head
of the offensive line.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Here's here's here's what I know, Tim. It's not just
one game or a couple of games. If you go
back to last season, the last ten regular season games
Josh Allen's played, he has seventeen touchdowns and eleven interceptions.
He has been a below average quarterback in that time.
His passer rating is like eighty five. In that stretch.
(22:47):
He has not been good going back to the middle
part of last season.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Well, that's what I'm talking about. Man like you, he's
probably just under a lot of pressure.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh yeah, you got everything you have ever Listen, let
me tell you, Tim, because they have no running Tim
can I I want to hide Tim. Listen, I want
to hire.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You have a receiver.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
No, they have a receiver that's a star receiver.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That but hurt.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I understand, Listen, I get it. But in this game
I gave Stefan Diggs. I would have if I was
a teammate at Josh Allen, I would have said, hey, dummy,
stop being a moron. That's what I was saying. Listen, thought, Okay, Tim,
call him out.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
That's cool. But look, you're someone has to talk to
him because you know, I understand, he's getting paid millions
of dollars. I understand. You gotta think about the pressure
of the game.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh the press pressure.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Oh of seventeen.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
They sat up.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Pressure.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Come on, there's a lot of pressure on it, and
you gotta think about it. There was a lot of pressure.
Quinton Williams talks pretty pretty good.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Take a breath, Tim, listen. I want to hire you
next time. I have like five terrible shows in a row,
whichull probably be next week, and I want to hire you.
And then when my boss calls up to chew my
head off, I will I will just have you talk
and you can say there's a lot of pressure. You
have a lot of pressure to the show. It's live radio,
you know, on five hundred radio stations. You know, you
(24:12):
never maybe Ben had a vocal court issue, Maybe he
ate some pasta and his voice was a little messed
up there because of the cheese on top of the back. Yeah,
I want every excuse. Is this actually Robby the Mariners family?
I know, right right, Mike, are you Robbie the Marner
or are you is this actually wait a minute, are
you Josh Allen? Are we talking to Josh Allen? You're
Josh Allen. Don't lie to me, sir. This is Josh Allen.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
I'm his advocator. I am Josh Allen's advocator, like Paul
Hayman is an advocator.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't think Josh Allen's I don't think his mother
defends him this much. My god.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
All right, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Someone has to all right, someone has to have his
man in the man's back. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
It's okay, man, all right, And remember Tim, if you
keep this up, Josh Allen's gona to put a restraining
order on you. Okay, So come on, I'll call all right.
I can't wait for your next tape, Thank you, Tim,
can't wait. He hit just about every excuse. If you
(25:13):
were to put a bingo card of excuses for Josh Allen.
The only one he didn't was the offensive line, coaches,
bad coaches, wide receiver Deevil wide pressure. Pressure. That's a
professional football for pressure, not high school pop order, you know,
college NFL.
Speaker 3 (25:32):

I can do the Freddie Freeman dance when when the
players get a hit for the for the Dodgers, you
know what they do just like that?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Can I video that?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
No? Indeed, now there's a camera, it's been captured on video. Yeah,
end up in a promo. No, that's accurate. Prey that
that's what they do. Isn't that Mooki's dance?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Originally?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Everyone does it? Though, why don't we have a dance
here at Fox Sports Radio? We should have a dance.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
What would we actually do it?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
We do a good segment which very rarely happens, not
much dancing, then that's good. But the one segment a
week that actually is decent that people somewhat enjoy, we
could have a dance all right? Like that?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You know, like the sprinkler or is that like that?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, it's all about the shoulders. Got to move the
shoulders and see you to go with the flow.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Seeing you do that makes me want to dance.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
It's a dance party, Eddie Ia Samos. I had to
just play a little song there. Yeah, is that it?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's it?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
No dance from you, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
No, give me a good segment and I'll dance.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That's impossible. I haven't had a good segment since. I
think twenty four was my last good segment. Actually know
when was the Peyton Manning. That was twenty oh nine,
the Peyton Manning versus the Saints.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I'm not good with yours?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Was that nine twenty?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I told you I'm not good with you.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
You're dancing when the Rams won thirty to thirteen in
Seattle last week?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, you were, you were dancing. You didn't see that coming.
I a little smirk, but mainly it was shot in
freude for I mean Matt Stafford, but our guys, our
guys this se Yeah, I love Seattle's great to the show.
They've loved me in Seattle. I thanked them. But all
those all those twelve men, No, I was. I was
at the charge game, but I was flipping around.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
And did you know that Benn has had a long
standing feud with Gino Smith. Yes, I have started when
he was at West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, what he did in West Virginia. So this is
a great Geno Smith story. So Geno Smith played. I
remember that it was. I was at the gym in
downtown LA at twenty four hour fitness set Downtown LA,
the gym I go to and I don't know I
named the gym, but I did, so I was down
there and they had the pinstripe bowl on and it
(28:32):
was I think it was I think it was West
Virginia and Syracuse probably, and West Virginia won the game
and Gino Smith I think they won the game, if
I remember correcty the won the game. But whatever the case,
after the game, Gino did the interview, so I assume
they won, and he said something. It was like the
same thing about proving the doubters wrong and all that stuff.
It was the same I'm still complaining about this all
(28:53):
these laters. So I sent out a message on Twitter
and Geno Smith Versus responded to that message very angrily.
At the time, I did not realize it was Gino
Smith because this was like after the like it was
moments after the game. I just watched him on television
and it was like he was probably hadn't even changed
(29:14):
out of his shoulder pads in the locker room.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
I'm sure this was the Pinstripe Bull because they I'm
looking it up now the box scorers. West Virginia got
destroyed by Syracuse. Okay, so then maybe that thirty eight
to fourteen he played in the game. He was nineteen
twenty eight, so touchdown maybe that.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So they lost the game. But but I ripped him
on Twitter, and I think if it was at a
close game at halftime, what was the score happening? He was,
It was, yeah, I was twelve seven. Yeah, this was
a one score game. They got blown out and safe.
So I think I think I ripped him. I said,
this guy, you know, this guy's not gonna be like
good in the NFL or whatever. So he responded. But
I didn't know until he got drafted by the Jets,
(29:50):
because they flashed his Twitter handle on the screen and
I look back and I looked, I said, wait a minute,
that's the same guy like crazy nuts Marcel. Isn't that
crazy Marcel in Brooklyn?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Good morning? I know it's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
That's that, Marcel. Now, is it true? I got a
report that the Jets have contacted you to replace Aaron Rodgers.

number near each word. Seria, Sean and Eddie. You guys

out with ten points, we go all the way down
to nine, eight, seven, sixty five, and we throw the
word out number. What uding me? You see that? That's easy? Eddie?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Come on, Sean, are you familiar with the Garcia maneuver?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
No, don't do that, Eddie. You don't even need that.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
It's the Garcia mauver. It's I say a word and
then it's the opposite of that word.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
God, it's a wild West maneuver.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
All right, here we go, Pepper.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Uh, No, the Garcia maneuver one for a while an antonym. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
After today you are no longer allowed to explain the
Garcia maneuver.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
They have to they have to know explain the maneuver.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm sure you did at one point.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Definitely. All right, Gordon, do you have a number you
would like to pick? Here?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Gordon, let's go for the number four.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Then number four?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Uh the clue is hm hmm. How about hushed?
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Now?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
I was actually gonna say, hushed, your bastard.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Use your little Garcia maneuver, Eddie, come up quiet, okay,
all right, we'll use the Garcia go ahead, loudly.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Is the opposite the opposite?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
It sucks, all right, doesn't matter. How about mumble Gordon
in Okinawa.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Mumble and something I missed?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I just think about it. You come on, you got
it right inside you tip of your tongue. Come on,
I need an answer. Five four three two.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
At least he guessed something.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Quiet, Go ahead, Eddie, I didn't realize it was hard.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Sean, this is not the Garcia maneuver. We are now
just doing the plain old nothing maneuver. How about softly, softly,
I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Say whisper yea.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I didn't think we were gonna get that word about that?
All right, what do we have? He said it to.
Who's going next? Is that? Se Se? Pick a number?
Hurry up? Pick a number five?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
All right, number five?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
This one, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
