Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome. It's our name two hour two hanging
out right here with you, and we start out with
the Dallas football team. Who gets the blame for the
Cowboys lost to the Cardinals as Dallas a heavy favorite
unable to get it done. Also, what do the Bears
do now with Justin Fields after another pathetic effort against
(00:24):
Kansas City? And how bleak are things looking for the
Minnesota Vikings as they were given a game by the
Chargers and then gave the game back to the LA
football team. We'll talk about all of those stories and
more right now here. It is our number two crumbling
in the desert heats, although it wasn't that hot. Welcome
(00:49):
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We are in the air.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Everywhere as you listen and relax, and we talk in riddles.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Coast to coast, boiler.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
To boter and beyond on the mast and impressively powerful
microphones of fsre ammating live from the sweatshops, slaving over
these hot microphones all night long. We are broadcasting live
from the Tirak dot com studios.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Tyraq dot com will help you get there.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
An unmatched selection, fast free shipping free roadhazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended it installers. Tire raq dot com
the way tire buying shoot me in earlead this hour
coming from the great state of Arizona. Where how about
(01:49):
those Cardinals? They are not trying to lose every game?
I guess James Connor, rumbling and Stummy had ninety eight
yards and a touchdown as the Cardinals who gagged the
game in week one, and in week two, the Cardinals
upset the Cowboys as a double digit home underdog. Cardinals
(02:11):
now eight and one in their last nine opportunities as
a massive home underdog in that situation, the Cardinals upset
the Cardinals, winning the game outright twenty eight to sixteen
in the Valley of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And what a day it was.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Arizona picks up their first winter of the year. They
improved one and two. Dallas gets the loss. They dropped
to two and one, and that sound you heard was
a primal scream from those that were fully invested in
the Dallas Cowboys being one of the great all time teams.
No matter what the Cowboys do, no matter what they do,
that is now off the table. You lose to the
(02:49):
Arizona e f and Cardinals, a game dominated by the
Arizona Cardinals. You've lost all credibility. So I don't want
to hear any more of this bull crap about the
Dallas Cowboys, this, that, and the other thing. Man, So
let us discuss the question who gets the blame for
the Cowboys loss to the Cardinals. So I've got Gummy
(03:12):
Flipper and Elvis Presley, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some
Texas toast, which is what the Cardinals turned the Cowboys
into Texas toast. So yes, number, we'll start with this.
(03:37):
This falls on the shoulders you play the blame game.
It falls on the shoulders of Dakota Prescott and Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
They're the headliners.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They' are the big stars of the Dallas Cowboys, and
so it falls on their shoulders. We'll start with Dakota Prescott,
who became a.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Tin horn quarterback in this game.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Normally, if you look at the mo of dak Prescott,
he is a guy that feasts on bottom feeding teams,
the hungry puppies of the NFL, like the Cardinals. So
this is out of character for dak Prescott that they
would be so inefficient in terms of getting points on
the board against a substandard opponent. Typically, these are the
(04:19):
kind of games where Dak just goes off and puts
up huge stat lines and people get orgasmic watching him
play there.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh, he's the greatest thick in the world and all that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But on this particular day, Dak Prescott was for Kacta.
You look at the rehorse and pretty much throughout the
day he was very gummy. Dak was very gummy out there.
He finished with twenty five completions on forty pass attempts,
had two hundred forty nine yards passing, but average six
point two yards per attempt, which is not great, had
(04:51):
a touchdown, had a late interception. He ends up with
a passer rating below eighty. Maybe I don't know anything
but where I come from.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
That's not good. That's not good.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
The Cowboys had eight drives against what is considered to
be one of the least talented, if not the least
talented team in the NFL, the Arizona Football team, and
the eight drives resulted in one touchdown.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That's it. One touchdown in eight drives.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Dallas did have four hundred and sixteen yards of offense,
for whatever that's worth. They were nine of sixteen on
third down. But the big bugaboo was the performance in
the red zone, as they went just one of five
twenty percent in the red zone. Mike McCarthy, the head
coach of the Dallas Cowboys, here pointing out this was
(05:40):
just not just not the week for Dallas.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Mike McCarthy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I mean, hey, that's that's the challenge of this league.
You know, every game is so unique to the specific
matchups and so forth. This has been a this has
been a rough week on a lot of fronts. You know,
I think the mount of diversity, you go through your
preparation process and and you know, we didn't have enough today.
You know, we needed you know, the discipline in the penalties.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
He's mumbling and stumbling, but he mumbles anyway when when
the Cowboys win. So, if you watched Benny versus the
Penny over the weekend, we hope you did. This is
one of the things we got right. We had the
Arizona Cardinals against the Cowboys. The mental aspect of this
handicapping NFL games, this did look like a what down
spot for the Cowboys, coming off a primetime win against
(06:33):
the Giants in the opener on in a primetime environment
there in New Jersey, and then coming back playing the
Jets in the big CBS game. Granted, no Aaron Rodgers,
nobody gets up to play Joshua Jobs.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Nobody does.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now mentioned the the stat line how ineffective Dak Prescott was.
He's also very ineffective when he's at the day, as
here is Dak pointing out this was not.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
One of the better performances in his career.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
This was a humbling loss in that sense. Obviously, we've
had a lot of adversity just throughout the week, and
it wasn't easy. Obviously wasn't easy. Nobody's making excuses. We
thought we had a great opportunity to come in here,
even with the adversity and get a win, and we didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Didn't he make an excuse by saying adversity. I believe
where I come from. That's an excuse, you just, Dak.
You just said we had a lot of adversity. No excuse,
we had adversity. You repeated a yeah, players get hurt.
News at eleven, you know, video at eleven.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Come on, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Here's more from Dak Prescott. And here is Dak pointing out.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
The mistake at the very end, the mistake of Dak
Prescott at the end here as he was unable to
get another Cowboys had the ball, they had a chance
to drive down and score and win the game.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And all of this Milor monologue would have been for
not But Dak did the thing. You can't do it
at the time, You can't do it. Take a list.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, I gotta make that third throw. I had to
make to throw some some way, put it over him,
maybe just scramble and not go there with it. But
so like we needed to play there, try to put
it past the backers there he made a great catch.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
While we are ripping on Dak Prescott, we cannot ignore
Micah Parsons. Many bloviating gas bags and blowhards told us
that Michael Parsons MVP campaign to the moon. Well, how
about to the center of the molten earth?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You could you could argue, Wow, there's just no way.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I keep going back to my premise that this Dallas
Cowboy team they could win fifteen games. This loss has
so much stank on it. To lose the Cardinals to
allow Joshua Dobs and you're talking about Michaeh. Parsons. The
greateress defronsive players is Lawrence Taylor. Yeah, okay, And he
had an okay stat line. He had a couple of tackles,
he was in on a few tackles combined tackles, had
(08:50):
a sack, and a couple of quarterback kids. But Joshua Dobs,
who has been tossed around like a volleyball at the beach,
completed eighty one percent of his passes, averaged nine yards
per pass.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Against this wonton cowboy defense.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I mentioned James Connor the battery ram ninety eight yards
on the ground and a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He just use all credibility.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Joshua DAPs played error free football, error free football against
this big, badass Dallas cowboy defense. And you know, at
any moment the Cowboys have this in him. At any moment,
they have this in him. All right now, turning the pairs,
let's go to canall study. After a week of drama,
(09:34):
the Chicago Bears pulled up and they saw Taylor Swift
more drama, but she was not there for them. She
was not in the stadium at Arrowhead for them. Patrick
Mahomes two urned, seventy two yards passing, three touchdowns, no interceptions,
limited duty because this game was such a laugher. Kansas
City wins forty one to ten. The Bears allowed scores on.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Seven consecutive possession.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Kansas City scored on seven consecutive possessions, and that wasn't
even the most impressive performance of the day because of
what the Dolphins did against the Denver Broncos. The Bears
also turned the ball over twice and produced an anemic
two hundred and three yards of offense, which I don't
think is good. Justin Fields, who called out the Bears
(10:23):
coaching staff this week saying that he wants to just
improv that they tried too hard to actually, you know,
coach him up. He backed that talk up by going
out there and sitting right in the cockpit on the
vomit comet ninety nine yards passing for Justin Fields. It's
four and a half yards per attempt, three sacks, one touchdown,
(10:43):
one interception, passer rating below sixty below sixty. So what
do the Bears now do with Justin Fields? He had
a week of drama, O rama. What do they do
with Justin Fields? Where the answer is they go flipper.
Now they don't flip him, I mean they go flipper.
(11:04):
They tread water like flipper right there in the sewage
disposal tank, the cesspool. Chicago fans are calling for the
firing of Matt Eberflus, that they should remove him as
head coach of the Bears. A lot of people don't
even know he was the coach of the Bears. But
who do they think is going to step in mid season?
(11:25):
Have they looked at the Chicago Bears depth chart?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Good luck?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Of course, you could say anybody with a pulse would
be better at this particular point.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
The way Justin Fields is playing this is a great
mitzvah for the Chicago Bears. This guy is so incompetent
he has no idea how to play the quarterback position
in the NFL that this is a good thing. Because
the Bears at some point they're gonna be like, hey,
wait a minute, we got a shot, a legitimate shot
at the number one or number two pick. We're Chicago,
(11:55):
We're a top three media market. We could get Caleb
Williams to come in the next great messiah of the NFL,
and so keep rolling the rotting carcass. When I say
rodding Carcass, I mean of his career. Justin Field, send
him back out there the way he's playing. You're gonna
get a number one or number two pack, and this
(12:16):
time you won't trade it away to the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
You'll keep the pack and you'll have to pick of
the litter.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
All right, final point, Let's go to Minussot much more
in this game throughout the hour, but Justin Herbert four
hundred and five yards passing and not one, not two,
but three touchdowns, the Chargers keeping Kirk Cousins out of
the end zone twice in the final three minutes to
preserve a zany whacky, out of control twenty eight to
(12:44):
twenty four victory over the winless Minnesota Vikings. The better
story is on the Minnesota side. So how bleak are
things looking for the Vikings? On the Malard Misery Index
one to ten. Minnesota is in an eight point five
eight point five. The Vikings have three one score losses.
(13:09):
They set the record last year with eleven wins. They
were eleven to zero in one score games. Bad teams
lose close games. Good teams typically win close games. The
Chargers tried to give this game away and they really did.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And it's one of the.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Most puzzling moves you could possibly imagine. Brandon Staley, the
head coach of the Chargers, should have been fired last year.
Anybody knows football knows that. But the Chargers' ownership is cheap,
so they keep Brandon Staley around. He outdid himself in
this game, and he got away with it. He played
with fire. He poured gasoline all over the field. He
then tossed a Malotov cocktail on top of the gasoline
(13:48):
and it didn't ignite. Yes, if you saw this game,
you know what I'm talking about. But Staley decided to
go for it on a fourth down and one play
at his own twenty four yard line, nursing the league.
Joshua Kelly was stonewalled for the Chargers and that gave
the Vikings turnover on downs give the ball to Minnesota
one forty seven left at the twenty four yard line
(14:09):
of the Chargers. All they need is to touchdown they
win the game. And what did the Vikings do? They
went classic Elvis Presley return desender is what they did,
and they sputtered through six plays aided.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
They had an illegal.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Use of hands penalty prior to the fourth down pass
to Hockinson the tight end TJ. Hockinson the x lion
and gave them a first and goal the six yard line.
So time's running out. No timeouts left. Kirk Cousins then
has trouble hearing the play call. It's a home game
in Minnesota, there's not a lot of charger phase there,
but he has trouble. I mean he needs a hearing aid.
(14:48):
I don't know, but he has trouble hearing the play call.
And so time is wasted and the clock ticks down
and tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick. Next snap instead of the Vikings, and they
didn't spike it. Cousins he thought he had a safe throw.
It was the outside shoulder of TJ. Hockinson and it
(15:09):
was picked off by a would be charger defender. So
the good news is the Vikings actually are not out
of it. They still have an opportunity because of the
NFC North, although they're another team.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I thay, well, they don't.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Cousins is a free agent at the end of the year.
I don't think they could even if they try. Be
bad enough to get a top one or two pick
in the draft. But the Lions and Packers are leading
the North in the NFC. They are two to one.
The Vikings are zero and three. But the Vikings losses
have come against Tampa Bay, the Chargers, and the Eagles,
so no divisional losses, just a lot of unforced errors.

(17:28):
the Chicago Bears are. That will sum up for all
our friends listening in the Windy City here, just how
pathetic they stand. But let's go to the phones, and
who shall we start with?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Enie Meenie, miney Moe.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Let's say hello to Big Daddy, who's hanging out in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Hello, Big Daddy.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Yeah, a cowboy fan on the line. You know I'm
gonna call ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (17:55):

Speaker 8 (18:00):
Man piece to the plan. And let me say all
all my fans and my decition and fostball. Who cares
about Taylor Swift, Travis Saftie, I'm trying to take care
of my relationship them.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Well, you don't understand, big Daddy. We live in a
celebrity worship society, and we worship celebrities. There's no bigger
celebrity than Taylor Swift right now, So we must bow
down that she's with a football player and she was
wearing chief gear. She was Oh my god, she had
chief gear on. How exciting is That's what they call it?
Speaker 8 (18:33):
A jury that you can't say.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
How many people are going to dress up for Halloween

Speaker 9 (18:48):
I'm trying to about the game.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Don't the game sucked anyway? Who cares about the game
was terrible? Taylor Swift is more interesting than the game.
In fact, I saw video. I don't know if you
saw this, Big Daddy, but the video of how many
Missouri police officers were standing outside the Taylor Swift luxury
box at Arrowhead, And I think there have been less
(19:10):
armed forces that have fought in military conflict than we're
standing outside protecting Taylor Swift. My god, but did she
pay for those or did the chiefs pay for those security?
My goodness.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Said no. You got to see the video.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
There were at least like eight to ten police officers
outside of Taylor Swift's luxury box.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
What were they What were they thinking was good? What
do they think was gonna happen exactly?
Speaker 8 (19:40):
They wanted to autograph.

They can brag their they can brag their kids and
their wives and their girlfriends.

He spent eleven hours getting that.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
You can't being champion, but he getting capta that white

him in a new commercial and the new Man commercial
that light can't win no game.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Tweet that tweet that out crew, Big Daddy and Memphis
reporting the reason the Cowboys lost to Arizona the Dak
Prescott tattoo. At that time, if he had practiced the playbook,
he would have been out there performing at a much
higher level, clearly.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
But he out there doing commercial. You got money, good,

big Daddy.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Let's say hello to Tony in the Bay Area. Tony
called us up and guaranteed that the Chicago Bears were
going to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Hello, Tony, Hey, how are you doing?
Speaker 10 (21:16):
Man?
Speaker 11 (21:19):
I just called in to take my lump, So, yes,
don't be like bugs bunny and beat the hell out
of me. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What were you thinking?
Speaker 11 (21:31):
Like I said, we could turn it around. I wasn't
really impressed with Kansas City. I mean, who have they beaten?
And what have they done except for last year? So
I mean, you know, it could have happened, just didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, it had no chance of having They were
never in the game.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Now it was closed for the about a forty.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Seconds and he said the national anthem. When they had
the national anthem, the Bears were right there. They had
a shot when they ran out from the locker room
to take the field before.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
The game, they were in position.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And then after that, Tony, so you you have to
you have to sing something, right, The bet was you
have to sing something embarrassing and and then we can
play it over and over again.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Right. Yeah, we made a bit. We made a bit,
should we ever? Oh, don't be like that, Tony.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
We made a bet or not? I'll take copsword.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Do we make a bet with Tony?
Speaker 10 (22:38):
In the Bay Area I mean you did call me
back afterwards and and confirm that you would do you know,
the recording?
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Yeah, but I didn't get Ah.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
You know, we have a Friday show.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
How are we supposed to Yeah, it's the end of
the week whole Tony. I have an idea here.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think I think there's something that we can get
that's kind of generic that we can use for a
lot of different sports.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
So honestly, I'll go back to Tony, but.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Let's get back to Tony in the Bay Area. Tony
called us up last week.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
He was very confident the Chicago Bears were going to
beat Kansas City. He wanted to make a bet. We
agreed to the bet and the payoff on that. We
decided because originally Tony said he wasn't going to call
the show for a very long time, and we said, wow,
we kind of want you to call the show, and
we you know, your your character on the show, and
but we we want to come up with some kind
(24:11):
of punishment.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
So hello, are you there, Tony?
Speaker 9 (24:15):
Yeah, what I.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
Told to last time, and I'm fine with it unless
you got something different. I told him I would do
two justin field drops and you guys could do Tony
and the Bay Roast, you know, or the writers can
do that. But if you got something different, well, I
think it's.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I think we I think we should have you do
like a little bit of like a song and then
we can play it in random, random spots like for example,
this is a very easy song. Everyone knows this song
for he's a for he's a jolly good fellow. It's
the easiest song in the world.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Right, you know that song for he's a jelly jelly
good fellow.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Oh, come on, you know this. You know it's an
easy song. For he's a good jelly donut.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
The head's a jolly good fellow.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, come on, toy, For he's a jolly good fel over,
he's a jolly good fela.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
But do we have to do it tonight?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Because it takes two seconds. You can get it done right, nobody.
Speaker 11 (25:12):
Waiting for I'm I'm a busy guy. You know, I just.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Can't just have nothing else to do? You have nothing else.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
It's two lines just for he's a jolly good fel
he's a dollar good foul which nobody can and I
that's it.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
So it's three three verses or three lines.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You just ripped home.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You repeat the first line a couple of times and
then you close it with which nobody can. And I
are you serious, tony, We're wasting more time to come
on all right?
Speaker 11 (25:49):
Uh, For he's a jolly good fello. For he's a
jolly good fello. For he's a jolly good Parlo wish
no one Candy all.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Right, put that in the system. There, I was saying,
we'll play that out of context. We'll play that randomly,
out of context audio. And I have a great factoid
for you, Tony before I hang up on your ass
here about how pathetic your Chicago Bears are. And I
hope you appreciate this. The Chicago Bears are so bad.
How bad are they that the Denver Broncos, who just
(26:27):
lost by fifty points on the road, gave up seven
hundred yards of offense, are favored favored against.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
The Chicago Bears on the.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Road this coming yes weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yes, the Denver Broncos. I'm looking at the opening line.
There's actually been a little bit of line movement here,
but the opening line the Chicago Bears at home against
the Broncos. Broncos opened up a two point favorite. Denver
is up to three and a half, favored by three
and a half over the Bears. That is, it's gotta
(27:05):
be the first time that's ever happened in the NFL.
How many times have teams lost by fifty points and
the Broncos are favored against your Bears?
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Yeah, what's that guy's name? Khali Williams or something.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
What are you talking? Are you?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Are you talking about tanking for the number one pick?
Is that where you're at right now?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Capable?
Speaker 11 (27:26):
I mean, it seems like we can't win a game.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
All right? I gotta go? Thank you, go God? What's
that saying about? Justin fields? Right? The Broncos are over
a field goal favorite? No, the Broncos. Wow?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Oh, although you you would think that coming off a
loss like the if the Broncos are ever going to
have a complete game, it would be this week against
the Chicago Bears. But you didn't expect them to go
to I didn't expect them to go to Miami. Who
could have possibly predicted that If.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
They lose to the Bears, the Waltons have to sell
the team after That's it?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Is there any language in the contract where Sean Payton
can like get can they get out of the contract.
They're paying them like twenty million dollars a year or
something like that, and they could pay me.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I could do that. I could go out and lose
by fifty.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Points to the Miami Dolphins and coach the team wild.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
It really is. It's insane. Uh, let's say hello to
AINI Meani manual.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Let's go to Nick, who's in Berkeley in northern California,
very big in northern California. Hello, Nick, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Nick? Welcome? You're on Fox Sports Rady my family.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
Hey man, black party is looking really good, brother. But
you know what, my giants, my giants are actually as
bad as the Chicago Bears. Man, my giants because farhand
and my stip of a coach who never even gets
ejected from games. I mean, how can you manage a
pro baseball team and never get ejected? What is wrong
with you?
Speaker 10 (29:00):
Like?
Speaker 9 (29:00):
I wou'd need to get that at all, man, Like
that needs to be addressed. Secondly, dude, Miami puts up
like seventy on the guy that put you know, a
bounty on players Like I wouldn't be messing with John
Paign too much running up the score. That was bus
league man. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't
believe the meltdown of Dak Prescott. I'm sitting there watching
(29:23):
the game by myself, announcing like I'm an announcer like that
like the Eagle on TV ton Minnigan, and I'm just
like he's about to do it. He's about to throw
that pick in boom. There was man the grin two
stole Christmas early in Texas. I mean, little kids were crying. Man,
it's a national outrage. And I mean, I'm just looking
for Trey Lance in Dallas right now. Even though I'm
(29:45):
a Diehardford not a fan. I could care less what
happens with the Cowboys, but to see the Cardinals, just
mop them up. Don't disrespect the NFC West, Ben, because
you know, we got Super Bowl. We have Super Bowl
teams in the NFC West, and we're rough and tumble
out here. We may seem like we're all West Coast
and all that. Man, we get down out here though,
and let me tell you something. The meltdown in Minnesota
(30:05):
it's inexfusible. There's a lot of faith coaches going on.
Then what is going on? These coaches are.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Broad No, they can do whatever they want. Know, they
just say analytics. I go buy the analytics.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You can literally do the stupidest thing in the world
and the broadcasters won't question it because it's analytics.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It's the ultimate get out of jail free card. Whatever
you do, whatever stupid decision you make, you just say analytics.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I did it because of the analytics, and nobody questions it.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
I mean, Ben, that's what's ruining baseball right now as
far as I'm concerned. And let me tell you something, man,
you guys need to bring back a truth machine to
where play the little, the little, the little, the little
quote by by Dak Pesscott and the translation I suck.
I didn't even see the guys standing there. I just
do it right to them because I can't see the field.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
It because I'm blind. I'm blind as a bat. I
got you all right, Well, thank you. I gotta go,

Speaker 10 (34:30):
After Clemson lost to Florida State in overtime on Saturday
and dropped to two to two, Damo Sweeney said, it
breaks my heart where we are. I wish I could
say why. All I know is we've got a lot
of good days ahead and I believe that. Well, Clemson
fans did not like those comments.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
Ben.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
Do you think Dabo survives the season?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Well, it's going the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You go back to the end of last year Clemson,
the last seven games is three and four if you
go back to the end of last year, which is
very unexcusable.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Excuse. Well, but here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
He's got a ten year contract through twenty thirty one
at eleven and a half million dollars. So I'm not
buying that there's gonna be a booster to pay him
that kind of money for the next eight years. I
just I think he's got job security because of the contract.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't see them getting rid of him.
Speaker 10 (35:18):
Next, Ron Jeworski says the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has
struggled this season to read defenses. Ben, what do you
think of Jaws's criticism?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Well, this is not the first time now Jaws said it.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Remember a couple of years ago Todd Bowles, who, by
the way the Eagles played tonight, he was the Bucks
defensive coordinator. He said the same thing. There's something there
that would be amazing if he can't read defense.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He's got two undred and fifty two million dollars. How
could that possibly be? But two people have said it not.
Speaker 10 (35:45):
Next, Urban Meyers said yesterday that Texas is the number
one team in the country. Do you agree with him?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's good television by Urban Meyer.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But no, you look around Georgia, Michigan, there's a Bud
Oregon's good Washington, we see there's.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
A bunch of good team. How do we down pass
that is a wig? Put out a bar, just like
the Dolphins. Just like the Dolphins. I fail.
Hello, and welcome. It's our name two hour two hanging
out right here with you, and we start out with
the Dallas football team. Who gets the blame for the
Cowboys lost to the Cardinals as Dallas a heavy favorite
unable to get it done. Also, what do the Bears
do now with Justin Fields after another pathetic effort against
(00:24):
Kansas City? And how bleak are things looking for the
Minnesota Vikings as they were given a game by the
Chargers and then gave the game back to the LA
football team. We'll talk about all of those stories and
more right now here. It is our number two crumbling
in the desert heats, although it wasn't that hot. Welcome
(00:49):
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We are in the air.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Everywhere as you listen and relax, and we talk in riddles.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Coast to coast, boiler.
Speaker 1 (01:07):

Speaker 1 (01:27):
An unmatched selection, fast free shipping free roadhazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended it installers. Tire raq dot com
the way tire buying shoot me in earlead this hour
coming from the great state of Arizona. Where how about
(01:49):
those Cardinals? They are not trying to lose every game?
I guess James Connor, rumbling and Stummy had ninety eight
yards and a touchdown as the Cardinals who gagged the
game in week one, and in week two, the Cardinals
upset the Cowboys as a double digit home underdog. Cardinals
(02:11):
now eight and one in their last nine opportunities as
a massive home underdog in that situation, the Cardinals upset
the Cardinals, winning the game outright twenty eight to sixteen
in the Valley of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And what a day it was.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Arizona picks up their first winter of the year. They
improved one and two. Dallas gets the loss. They dropped
to two and one, and that sound you heard was
a primal scream from those that were fully invested in
the Dallas Cowboys being one of the great all time teams.
No matter what the Cowboys do, no matter what they do,
that is now off the table. You lose to the
(02:49):
Arizona e f and Cardinals, a game dominated by the
Arizona Cardinals. You've lost all credibility. So I don't want
to hear any more of this bull crap about the
Dallas Cowboys, this, that, and the other thing. Man, So
let us discuss the question who gets the blame for
the Cowboys loss to the Cardinals. So I've got Gummy
(03:12):
Flipper and Elvis Presley, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some
Texas toast, which is what the Cardinals turned the Cowboys
into Texas toast. So yes, number, we'll start with this.
(03:37):
This falls on the shoulders you play the blame game.
It falls on the shoulders of Dakota Prescott and Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
They're the headliners.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They' are the big stars of the Dallas Cowboys, and
so it falls on their shoulders. We'll start with Dakota Prescott,
who became a.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Tin horn quarterback in this game.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Normally, if you look at the mo of dak Prescott,
he is a guy that feasts on bottom feeding teams,
the hungry puppies of the NFL, like the Cardinals. So
this is out of character for dak Prescott that they
would be so inefficient in terms of getting points on
the board against a substandard opponent. Typically, these are the
(04:19):
kind of games where Dak just goes off and puts
up huge stat lines and people get orgasmic watching him
play there.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh, he's the greatest thick in the world and all that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But on this particular day, Dak Prescott was for Kacta.
You look at the rehorse and pretty much throughout the
day he was very gummy. Dak was very gummy out there.
He finished with twenty five completions on forty pass attempts,
had two hundred forty nine yards passing, but average six
point two yards per attempt, which is not great, had
(04:51):
a touchdown, had a late interception. He ends up with
a passer rating below eighty. Maybe I don't know anything
but where I come from.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
That's not good. That's not good.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
The Cowboys had eight drives against what is considered to
be one of the least talented, if not the least
talented team in the NFL, the Arizona Football team, and
the eight drives resulted in one touchdown.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
That's it. One touchdown in eight drives.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Dallas did have four hundred and sixteen yards of offense,
for whatever that's worth. They were nine of sixteen on
third down. But the big bugaboo was the performance in
the red zone, as they went just one of five
twenty percent in the red zone. Mike McCarthy, the head
coach of the Dallas Cowboys, here pointing out this was
(05:40):
just not just not the week for Dallas.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Mike McCarthy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I mean, hey, that's that's the challenge of this league.
You know, every game is so unique to the specific
matchups and so forth. This has been a this has
been a rough week on a lot of fronts. You know,
I think the mount of diversity, you go through your
preparation process and and you know, we didn't have enough today.
You know, we needed you know, the discipline in the penalties.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
He's mumbling and stumbling, but he mumbles anyway when when
the Cowboys win. So, if you watched Benny versus the
Penny over the weekend, we hope you did. This is
one of the things we got right. We had the
Arizona Cardinals against the Cowboys. The mental aspect of this
handicapping NFL games, this did look like a what down
spot for the Cowboys, coming off a primetime win against
(06:33):
the Giants in the opener on in a primetime environment
there in New Jersey, and then coming back playing the
Jets in the big CBS game. Granted, no Aaron Rodgers,
nobody gets up to play Joshua Jobs.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Nobody does.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now mentioned the the stat line how ineffective Dak Prescott was.
He's also very ineffective when he's at the day, as
here is Dak pointing out this was not.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
One of the better performances in his career.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
This was a humbling loss in that sense. Obviously, we've
had a lot of adversity just throughout the week, and
it wasn't easy. Obviously wasn't easy. Nobody's making excuses. We
thought we had a great opportunity to come in here,
even with the adversity and get a win, and we didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Didn't he make an excuse by saying adversity. I believe
where I come from. That's an excuse, you just, Dak.
You just said we had a lot of adversity. No excuse,
we had adversity. You repeated a yeah, players get hurt.
News at eleven, you know, video at eleven.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Come on, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Here's more from Dak Prescott. And here is Dak pointing out.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
The mistake at the very end, the mistake of Dak
Prescott at the end here as he was unable to
get another Cowboys had the ball, they had a chance
to drive down and score and win the game.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And all of this Milor monologue would have been for
not But Dak did the thing. You can't do it
at the time, You can't do it. Take a list.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, I gotta make that third throw. I had to
make to throw some some way, put it over him,
maybe just scramble and not go there with it. But
so like we needed to play there, try to put
it past the backers there he made a great catch.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
While we are ripping on Dak Prescott, we cannot ignore
Micah Parsons. Many bloviating gas bags and blowhards told us
that Michael Parsons MVP campaign to the moon. Well, how
about to the center of the molten earth?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You could you could argue, Wow, there's just no way.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I keep going back to my premise that this Dallas
Cowboy team they could win fifteen games. This loss has
so much stank on it. To lose the Cardinals to
allow Joshua Dobs and you're talking about Michaeh. Parsons. The
greateress defronsive players is Lawrence Taylor. Yeah, okay, And he
had an okay stat line. He had a couple of tackles,
he was in on a few tackles combined tackles, had
(08:50):
a sack, and a couple of quarterback kids. But Joshua Dobs,
who has been tossed around like a volleyball at the beach,
completed eighty one percent of his passes, averaged nine yards
per pass.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Against this wonton cowboy defense.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I mentioned James Connor the battery ram ninety eight yards
on the ground and a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He just use all credibility.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Joshua DAPs played error free football, error free football against
this big, badass Dallas cowboy defense. And you know, at
any moment the Cowboys have this in him. At any moment,
they have this in him. All right now, turning the pairs,
let's go to canall study. After a week of drama,
(09:34):
the Chicago Bears pulled up and they saw Taylor Swift
more drama, but she was not there for them. She
was not in the stadium at Arrowhead for them. Patrick
Mahomes two urned, seventy two yards passing, three touchdowns, no interceptions,
limited duty because this game was such a laugher. Kansas
City wins forty one to ten. The Bears allowed scores on.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Seven consecutive possession.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Kansas City scored on seven consecutive possessions, and that wasn't
even the most impressive performance of the day because of
what the Dolphins did against the Denver Broncos. The Bears
also turned the ball over twice and produced an anemic
two hundred and three yards of offense, which I don't
think is good. Justin Fields, who called out the Bears
(10:23):
coaching staff this week saying that he wants to just
improv that they tried too hard to actually, you know,
coach him up. He backed that talk up by going
out there and sitting right in the cockpit on the
vomit comet ninety nine yards passing for Justin Fields. It's
four and a half yards per attempt, three sacks, one touchdown,
(10:43):
one interception, passer rating below sixty below sixty. So what
do the Bears now do with Justin Fields? He had
a week of drama, O rama. What do they do
with Justin Fields? Where the answer is they go flipper.
Now they don't flip him, I mean they go flipper.
(11:04):
They tread water like flipper right there in the sewage
disposal tank, the cesspool. Chicago fans are calling for the
firing of Matt Eberflus, that they should remove him as
head coach of the Bears. A lot of people don't
even know he was the coach of the Bears. But
who do they think is going to step in mid season?
(11:25):
Have they looked at the Chicago Bears depth chart?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Good luck?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Of course, you could say anybody with a pulse would
be better at this particular point.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
The way Justin Fields is playing this is a great
mitzvah for the Chicago Bears. This guy is so incompetent
he has no idea how to play the quarterback position
in the NFL that this is a good thing. Because
the Bears at some point they're gonna be like, hey,
wait a minute, we got a shot, a legitimate shot
at the number one or number two pick. We're Chicago,
(11:55):
We're a top three media market. We could get Caleb
Williams to come in the next great messiah of the NFL,
and so keep rolling the rotting carcass. When I say
rodding Carcass, I mean of his career. Justin Field, send
him back out there the way he's playing. You're gonna
get a number one or number two pack, and this
(12:16):
time you won't trade it away to the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
You'll keep the pack and you'll have to pick of
the litter.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
All right, final point, Let's go to Minussot much more
in this game throughout the hour, but Justin Herbert four
hundred and five yards passing and not one, not two,
but three touchdowns, the Chargers keeping Kirk Cousins out of
the end zone twice in the final three minutes to
preserve a zany whacky, out of control twenty eight to
(12:44):
twenty four victory over the winless Minnesota Vikings. The better
story is on the Minnesota side. So how bleak are
things looking for the Vikings? On the Malard Misery Index
one to ten. Minnesota is in an eight point five
eight point five. The Vikings have three one score losses.
(13:09):
They set the record last year with eleven wins. They
were eleven to zero in one score games. Bad teams
lose close games. Good teams typically win close games. The
Chargers tried to give this game away and they really did.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And it's one of the.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Most puzzling moves you could possibly imagine. Brandon Staley, the
head coach of the Chargers, should have been fired last year.
Anybody knows football knows that. But the Chargers' ownership is cheap,
so they keep Brandon Staley around. He outdid himself in
this game, and he got away with it. He played
with fire. He poured gasoline all over the field. He
then tossed a Malotov cocktail on top of the gasoline
(13:48):
and it didn't ignite. Yes, if you saw this game,
you know what I'm talking about. But Staley decided to
go for it on a fourth down and one play
at his own twenty four yard line, nursing the league.
Joshua Kelly was stonewalled for the Chargers and that gave
the Vikings turnover on downs give the ball to Minnesota
one forty seven left at the twenty four yard line
(14:09):
of the Chargers. All they need is to touchdown they
win the game. And what did the Vikings do? They
went classic Elvis Presley return desender is what they did,
and they sputtered through six plays aided.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
They had an illegal.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Use of hands penalty prior to the fourth down pass
to Hockinson the tight end TJ. Hockinson the x lion
and gave them a first and goal the six yard line.
So time's running out. No timeouts left. Kirk Cousins then
has trouble hearing the play call. It's a home game
in Minnesota, there's not a lot of charger phase there,
but he has trouble. I mean he needs a hearing aid.
(14:48):
I don't know, but he has trouble hearing the play call.
And so time is wasted and the clock ticks down
and tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick. Next snap instead of the Vikings, and they
didn't spike it. Cousins he thought he had a safe throw.
It was the outside shoulder of TJ. Hockinson and it
(15:09):
was picked off by a would be charger defender. So
the good news is the Vikings actually are not out
of it. They still have an opportunity because of the
NFC North, although they're another team.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I thay, well, they don't.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Cousins is a free agent at the end of the year.
I don't think they could even if they try. Be
bad enough to get a top one or two pick
in the draft. But the Lions and Packers are leading
the North in the NFC. They are two to one.
The Vikings are zero and three. But the Vikings losses
have come against Tampa Bay, the Chargers, and the Eagles,
so no divisional losses, just a lot of unforced errors.
(15:41):
It is the Ben Mathers Show. If you'd like to
be part, you can join us here. The lines are open.
You know the numbers A speak easy addition, we'll take

something that happened after the Bears game. That will put
in perspective just how messed up the Chicago Bears franchise is.

the Vikings said, we do not want that game. We
don't need that game, we don't deserve that game. We
returned that game to you, put that back in the mailbox.
We're done. Man, a great factory. About just how terrible
(17:28):
the Chicago Bears are. That will sum up for all
our friends listening in the Windy City here, just how
pathetic they stand. But let's go to the phones, and
who shall we start with?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Enie Meenie, miney Moe.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Let's say hello to Big Daddy, who's hanging out in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Hello, Big Daddy.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Yeah, a cowboy fan on the line. You know I'm
gonna call ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You're a realistic cowboy fan.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Man piece to the plan. And let me say all
all my fans and my decition and fostball. Who cares
about Taylor Swift, Travis Saftie, I'm trying to take care
of my relationship them.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Well, you don't understand, big Daddy. We live in a
celebrity worship society, and we worship celebrities. There's no bigger
celebrity than Taylor Swift right now, So we must bow
down that she's with a football player and she was
wearing chief gear. She was Oh my god, she had
chief gear on. How exciting is That's what they call it?
Speaker 8 (18:33):
A jury that you can't say.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
How many people are going to dress up for Halloween
as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey this year?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
The couples.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
And I'm like you said, then Taylor Switch, he's here
for her boys friend every team and Taylor Switch, he's here.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
I'm trying to about the game.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Don't the game sucked anyway? Who cares about the game
was terrible? Taylor Swift is more interesting than the game.
In fact, I saw video. I don't know if you
saw this, Big Daddy, but the video of how many
Missouri police officers were standing outside the Taylor Swift luxury
box at Arrowhead, And I think there have been less
(19:10):
armed forces that have fought in military conflict than we're
standing outside protecting Taylor Swift. My god, but did she
pay for those or did the chiefs pay for those security?
My goodness.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Said no. You got to see the video.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
There were at least like eight to ten police officers
outside of Taylor Swift's luxury box.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
What were they What were they thinking was good? What
do they think was gonna happen exactly?
Speaker 8 (19:40):
They wanted to autograph.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
That could be, that could be. Well, they can brag,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
They can brag their they can brag their kids and
their wives and their girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
All right, protected Taylor Swift. I'm a Swifting.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
It's just over.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
They always trying to do some reading to the to
the media because you don't want to give up that money.
He's gonna be out there in a minute walk. You
won't talk to me, you know, if you won't talk
to the leadia, you get fired.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
I know he talks, he talks, he doesn't, he doesn't
say anything. I understand. You gotta talk to the.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Dang he's gonna be going.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You keep on, you can get well he's I think
he's okay.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
He's burned his money though. He just spent a lot
on that that tattoo he got on his back there.
He spent eleven hours getting that.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
You can't being champion, but he getting capta that white
can't win no game. Right here doing commercial. You seen
him in a new commercial and the new Man commercial
that light can't win no game.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Tweet that tweet that out crew, Big Daddy and Memphis
reporting the reason the Cowboys lost to Arizona the Dak
Prescott tattoo. At that time, if he had practiced the playbook,
he would have been out there performing at a much
higher level, clearly.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
But he out there doing commercial. You got money, good,
worry about them commercial?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
All right, I gotta I gotta go think.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
All right, big Daddy there, take care about that's Big Daddy, great,
big Daddy.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Let's say hello to Tony in the Bay Area. Tony
called us up and guaranteed that the Chicago Bears were
going to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Hello, Tony, Hey, how are you doing?
Speaker 10 (21:16):
Man?
Speaker 11 (21:19):
I just called in to take my lump, So, yes,
don't be like bugs bunny and beat the hell out
of me. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What were you thinking?
Speaker 11 (21:31):
Like I said, we could turn it around. I wasn't
really impressed with Kansas City. I mean, who have they beaten?
And what have they done except for last year? So
I mean, you know, it could have happened, just didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, it had no chance of having They were
never in the game.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Now it was closed for the about a forty.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Seconds and he said the national anthem. When they had
the national anthem, the Bears were right there. They had
a shot when they ran out from the locker room
to take the field before.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
The game, they were in position.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And then after that, Tony, so you you have to
you have to sing something, right, The bet was you
have to sing something embarrassing and and then we can
play it over and over again.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Right. Yeah, we made a bit. We made a bit,
should we ever? Oh, don't be like that, Tony.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
We made a bet or not? I'll take copsword.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Do we make a bet with Tony?
Speaker 10 (22:38):
In the Bay Area I mean you did call me
back afterwards and and confirm that you would do you know,
the recording?
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Yeah, but I didn't get Ah.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
You know, we have a Friday show.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
How are we supposed to Yeah, it's the end of
the week whole Tony. I have an idea here.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think I think there's something that we can get
that's kind of generic that we can use for a
lot of different sports.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
So honestly, I'll go back to Tony, but.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Paully Fosco here with Tony Fosco.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Yo.

Of course, you know us as the host of the
number one rated show and all the sports talks, The
Paully and Tony Fusco Show.

millions of fans do the talker.

Speaker 8 (23:32):
You don't know, crap about fool owner crap, who whoa.

Speaker 12 (23:39):
Just forget that look, listen to the Paully Tony Fusco
Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Let's get back to Tony in the Bay Area. Tony
called us up last week.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
He was very confident the Chicago Bears were going to
beat Kansas City. He wanted to make a bet. We
agreed to the bet and the payoff on that. We
decided because originally Tony said he wasn't going to call
the show for a very long time, and we said, wow,
we kind of want you to call the show, and
we you know, your your character on the show, and
but we we want to come up with some kind
(24:11):
of punishment.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
So hello, are you there, Tony?
Speaker 9 (24:15):
Yeah, what I.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
Told to last time, and I'm fine with it unless
you got something different. I told him I would do
two justin field drops and you guys could do Tony
and the Bay Roast, you know, or the writers can
do that. But if you got something different, well, I
think it's.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I think we I think we should have you do
like a little bit of like a song and then
we can play it in random, random spots like for example,
this is a very easy song. Everyone knows this song
for he's a for he's a jolly good fellow. It's
the easiest song in the world.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Right, you know that song for he's a jelly jelly
good fellow.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Oh, come on, you know this. You know it's an
easy song. For he's a good jelly donut.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
The head's a jolly good fellow.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, come on, toy, For he's a jolly good fel over,
he's a jolly good fela.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
But do we have to do it tonight?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Because it takes two seconds. You can get it done right, nobody.
Speaker 11 (25:12):
Waiting for I'm I'm a busy guy. You know, I just.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Can't just have nothing else to do? You have nothing else.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
It's two lines just for he's a jolly good fel
he's a dollar good foul which nobody can and I
that's it.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
So it's three three verses or three lines.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You just ripped home.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You repeat the first line a couple of times and
then you close it with which nobody can. And I
are you serious, tony, We're wasting more time to come
on all right?
Speaker 11 (25:49):
Uh, For he's a jolly good fello. For he's a
jolly good fello. For he's a jolly good Parlo wish
no one Candy all.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Right, put that in the system. There, I was saying,
we'll play that out of context. We'll play that randomly,
out of context audio. And I have a great factoid
for you, Tony before I hang up on your ass
here about how pathetic your Chicago Bears are. And I
hope you appreciate this. The Chicago Bears are so bad.
How bad are they that the Denver Broncos, who just
(26:27):
lost by fifty points on the road, gave up seven
hundred yards of offense, are favored favored against.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
The Chicago Bears on the.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Road this coming yes weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yes, the Denver Broncos. I'm looking at the opening line.
There's actually been a little bit of line movement here,
but the opening line the Chicago Bears at home against
the Broncos. Broncos opened up a two point favorite. Denver
is up to three and a half, favored by three
and a half over the Bears. That is, it's gotta
(27:05):
be the first time that's ever happened in the NFL.
How many times have teams lost by fifty points and
the Broncos are favored against your Bears?
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Yeah, what's that guy's name? Khali Williams or something.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
What are you talking? Are you?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Are you talking about tanking for the number one pick?
Is that where you're at right now?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Capable?
Speaker 11 (27:26):
I mean, it seems like we can't win a game.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
All right? I gotta go? Thank you, go God? What's
that saying about? Justin fields? Right? The Broncos are over
a field goal favorite? No, the Broncos. Wow?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Oh, although you you would think that coming off a
loss like the if the Broncos are ever going to
have a complete game, it would be this week against
the Chicago Bears. But you didn't expect them to go
to I didn't expect them to go to Miami. Who
could have possibly predicted that If.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
They lose to the Bears, the Waltons have to sell
the team after That's it?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Is there any language in the contract where Sean Payton
can like get can they get out of the contract.
They're paying them like twenty million dollars a year or
something like that, and they could pay me.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I could do that. I could go out and lose
by fifty.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Points to the Miami Dolphins and coach the team wild.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
It really is. It's insane. Uh, let's say hello to
AINI Meani manual.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Let's go to Nick, who's in Berkeley in northern California,
very big in northern California. Hello, Nick, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Nick? Welcome? You're on Fox Sports Rady my family.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
Hey man, black party is looking really good, brother. But
you know what, my giants, my giants are actually as
bad as the Chicago Bears. Man, my giants because farhand
and my stip of a coach who never even gets
ejected from games. I mean, how can you manage a
pro baseball team and never get ejected? What is wrong
with you?
Speaker 10 (29:00):
Like?
Speaker 9 (29:00):
I wou'd need to get that at all, man, Like
that needs to be addressed. Secondly, dude, Miami puts up
like seventy on the guy that put you know, a
bounty on players Like I wouldn't be messing with John
Paign too much running up the score. That was bus
league man. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't
believe the meltdown of Dak Prescott. I'm sitting there watching
(29:23):
the game by myself, announcing like I'm an announcer like that
like the Eagle on TV ton Minnigan, and I'm just
like he's about to do it. He's about to throw
that pick in boom. There was man the grin two
stole Christmas early in Texas. I mean, little kids were crying. Man,
it's a national outrage. And I mean, I'm just looking
for Trey Lance in Dallas right now. Even though I'm
(29:45):
a Diehardford not a fan. I could care less what
happens with the Cowboys, but to see the Cardinals, just
mop them up. Don't disrespect the NFC West, Ben, because
you know, we got Super Bowl. We have Super Bowl
teams in the NFC West, and we're rough and tumble
out here. We may seem like we're all West Coast
and all that. Man, we get down out here though,
and let me tell you something. The meltdown in Minnesota
(30:05):
it's inexfusible. There's a lot of faith coaches going on.
Then what is going on? These coaches are.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Broad No, they can do whatever they want. Know, they
just say analytics. I go buy the analytics.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You can literally do the stupidest thing in the world
and the broadcasters won't question it because it's analytics.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It's the ultimate get out of jail free card. Whatever
you do, whatever stupid decision you make, you just say analytics.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I did it because of the analytics, and nobody questions it.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
I mean, Ben, that's what's ruining baseball right now as
far as I'm concerned. And let me tell you something, man,
you guys need to bring back a truth machine to
where play the little, the little, the little, the little
quote by by Dak Pesscott and the translation I suck.
I didn't even see the guys standing there. I just
do it right to them because I can't see the field.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
It because I'm blind. I'm blind as a bat. I

by Rory Cocker.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Yeah, let's go former Patriot and Charger legend Danny Woodhead.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
It's a good name, but that's incorrect. Also not the
fabulous sports Babe remember her? That was guessed by courtesy Flusher.
The correct answer, Eddie, Oh, go back and look it up.
Billy Cannon or the Houston Oilers. Billy Cannon the only
other player other than Devon h to do it against the.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
New York Titans.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
It's Mallard.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
How about that?
Speaker 6 (34:23):
To the third degree, this is one big fan gets
graill Ben.
Speaker 10 (34:30):
After Clemson lost to Florida State in overtime on Saturday
and dropped to two to two, Damo Sweeney said, it
breaks my heart where we are. I wish I could
say why. All I know is we've got a lot
of good days ahead and I believe that. Well, Clemson
fans did not like those comments.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
Ben.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
Do you think Dabo survives the season?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Well, it's going the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You go back to the end of last year Clemson,
the last seven games is three and four if you
go back to the end of last year, which is
very unexcusable.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Excuse. Well, but here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
He's got a ten year contract through twenty thirty one
at eleven and a half million dollars. So I'm not
buying that there's gonna be a booster to pay him
that kind of money for the next eight years. I
just I think he's got job security because of the contract.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't see them getting rid of him.
Speaker 10 (35:18):
Next, Ron Jeworski says the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has
struggled this season to read defenses. Ben, what do you
think of Jaws's criticism?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Well, this is not the first time now Jaws said it.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Remember a couple of years ago Todd Bowles, who, by
the way the Eagles played tonight, he was the Bucks
defensive coordinator. He said the same thing. There's something there
that would be amazing if he can't read defense.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He's got two undred and fifty two million dollars. How
could that possibly be? But two people have said it not.
Speaker 10 (35:45):
Next, Urban Meyers said yesterday that Texas is the number
one team in the country. Do you agree with him?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's good television by Urban Meyer.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But no, you look around Georgia, Michigan, there's a Bud
Oregon's good Washington, we see there's.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
A bunch of good team. How do we down pass
that is a wig? Put out a bar, just like
the Dolphins. Just like the Dolphins. I fail.
