(00:47):
You don't have to be in LA, but that's on
AM five seventy on the iHeartRadio app. But on the
radio show, where does this Daniel Jones performance of the
Monday night game leave the Giants? As he was not
only a quarterback, he was horrible? Also, who's to blame
for the giants wicked bad performance to start the twenty
twenty three season. Man, have they been horrific? And are
(01:10):
you impressed with Pete Carroll's three and one Seattle Seahawks team.
They're eating well right now in Seattle. We'll talk about
that and much more right now here. It is our
number one a Monday night, doude. Well come in the
beginning of another edition of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We are in the air everywhere dribbling as we settle
in to the funhouse of mirrors coast, border.

shity And I hope you're doing well. I assume you're
doing better than the New York football team that goes
by the Moniker, the Giants. Yes, yeah, not hard to
(02:26):
be doing better than them. Man, wow, Hey, at least
I got paid to watch the game, so you didn't
have to. I mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't think you
would stay with that game. I mean, that was bad.
That was a bad product that was put out in
the field. But our lead does come from the NFL.
The final matchup. The curtain has gone down on Week
(02:48):
four of the football schedule in beautiful New Jersey and
that's where Pete Carroll and the Seahawks bringing their hippie
van to the East Coast for a matchup with the
reeling Giants. Life comes at you fast in the NFL
when you're a fraud. Giants were frog last year and
they're proving out to be a fraud this year as well.
(03:09):
They were a smoking mirrors team last year, and the
smoking mirrors have gone away and the Giants what do
you have left?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So if you didn't see the game, and perhaps you
have discretion and better judgment, and you stared out into
the night sky and did not watch the game. A
rookie defensive back name Devin Witherspoon who had a ninety
seven yard interception return late in the third quarter the Seahawks.
(03:37):
You get a sack, you get a sack. You get
a sack, You get a sack, you get a sack.
You get eleven sacks in a twenty four to three
roasting of the offensively and football challenged Giants on Monday night.
And I had some people call me up because we
(03:57):
were getting ready for the NFL season that were questioning
my judgment on the Giants. I imagine those people will
go into hiding, as normally happens in this business. They
will not be calling up anymore. Now. The Seattle Seahawks
are three and one. They lost to the Rams in
Week one and then have beaten a bunch of bad teams.
Here they win their third straight. Giants drop to one
(04:19):
in three on the year. That is where the story is.
Don't bury the lead, my man. The better story is
in the losing locker room. So let us discuss. And
you start and really stop with the quarterback position. So
the question where does this performance El's sticko. Where does
this performance by Daniel Jones leave the Giants? So I've
(04:42):
got DNA court and marshalled and voodoo bugaloo, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a roast beef sandwich. I think the
Giants got turned into roast beef. I think that's what happened.
I'm not sure though. All right, so a let's start
(05:04):
with this. The Giants sinking into a cesspool and there's
no one around. They don't have a life preserver. There's
no lifeguard to save them from falling into the abyss.
They're sitting at one and three. They had the fluke
come back against a challenged Arizona. Arizona places hard, but
I don't have a lot of talent, and right now
(05:24):
the Giants are looking up at the guillotine with their
next two road dates at Miami an angry Dolphins team.
We know what the Dolphins do against inferior opponents, like,
for example, the Broncos when they play them early. So
that is the match up ahead Giants Dolphins, and after
that they play the Bills. So that's lost loss. You
(05:47):
can write with a pen there one in five start
for the Giants. The poop is arising up, it is
bubbling up. Enjoy the smell, and Daniel Jones deserves Daniel
Jones DECs to get ripped right now all day later
on and the day after and the day after and
the day after, and it's a great litmus test. The
(06:10):
eleven sacks, Now that's a cartoonish number eleven sacks. But
the same thing happens all the time. When a quarterback
who sucks has a performance like this, the quarterback defenders,
the people that go out of their way to brown
nose of the quarterbacks will say, well, it's not his fault.
This is all the offensive lines fault. It's not Daniel Jones' fault.
(06:33):
And to those who feel that way, we laugh at
you because you're an idiot, right, tell me you don't
know what you're talking about. Without telling me you don't
know what you're talking about a few of those sacks.
And when I say a few, a few of those
sacks were on the fat guys. The vast majority were
football negligence by Daniel Jones. Danny Dimes has been in
(06:56):
the NFL now for five years, and he isn't any
better today in the pocket than he was as a rookie.
This guy is lacking the DNA of greatness, the genetic
code of greatness. He does not have. It's flawed for him.
He is short on peripheral vision and just being able
(07:19):
to pick things up in the pocket. You have to
sense the pocket. Poulter geyst there's a poltergeist you've got
to sense it. He doesn't sense it, right, These are
things that separate the sheep from the goats. Daniel Jones
is one of these guys who looks really good when
everything is okay or good around him. Right when Sequon
(07:40):
Barkley's running the ball, they've got a good offensive line,
good receivers. One thing goes wrong and the house of
cards comes tumbling down, and the only one left standing
is him, the joker. And that type of quarterback is
a dime a dozen. There is nothing, nothing special, right,
(08:01):
There's nothing special, nothing spectacular about Daniel Jones. He was
bad in college, he's bad in the NFL. And yet
I keep hearing these bozo's trying to prop up Daniel
Jones and saying, if only here this, you know, it's
the what about ism? Right, it's what about this? What
about that? What about? What about?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
What about?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What about? What about? What about? Enough?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
All?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Page two here? Who's to blame for the Giants' overall
wicked bad performance? And man is it a wicked bad
performance to start twenty twenty three? So Daniel Jones, obviously,
as we've diagrammed here, he's the one that's out in
(08:46):
front you toss him out on the Jersey Turnpike. He's
earned it. However, the wound is deeper than just Vanilla vic.
This is an indictment of the front office, tweedled d
and tweedled dumb, Brian Dable, the rotund head coach, who
I think has had to come to Jesus moment watching
him on the sidelines, like oh my god, what have
(09:07):
we done. You ever made that mistake where you do
something and then in hindsight you're like, oh, I really
shouldn't have done that, But then you've done it, and
then you have to live with it. And that's the
giants and Brian Dables like, my god, this guy's got
cooties and he's my quarterback and we signed him. And
the general manager there, Joe Shane as well. I mean,
(09:29):
they should be court martialed. These guys, the GM and
the coach should be court martialed. Jones deal was ending.
They were about to escape the shackles of Daniel Jones.
They were going to be unchained from anything to do
with Danny Dimes, free to find someone better. But they
(09:51):
got swept up in that phony. Bologney nine win season
of twenty twenty two. They were overjoyed. The Giants are back.
The gem man, it was orgasmic. And the Giant front office,
these morons running a multi billion dollar business, right, multi
billion dollars Giant front office, did the thing you can't
(10:12):
do at the time you can't do it. They let
the dopamine hit of a playoff performance and a win
against an equally overrated Viking team. They let that dopamine
hit take them over. Right. These Mama Lukes knew what
they had, and they still said, you know what, We're
gonna spin the wheel of fortune round and round and
(10:33):
round and round and round. Then round and round and
round the wheel of fortune. And where it stopped. Well,
bunch of blithering idiots, the New York Giants, this embarrassment.
I mean, the Giants are getting closer and closer to
the Jets, who they share the stadium with, and I'm
enjoying every second of it. The biggest media market in
the United States has complete and total incompetence on their
(10:58):
football operations. I did Giants last season. Now they had
to reward Daniel Jones, had to he had a breakout
season and twenty twenty two, said the dumb fan, the
Giants had the twenty sixth ranked passing offense. That's a
breakout season. Imagine out of a thirty two team league.
You are the quarterback of the twenty sixth ranked passing offense,
(11:20):
and that is a breakout season. Let's pay you. We're
gonna make it rain. Yes, Yeah, And so they rewarded
Daniel Jones with a new contract. Danny Dimes has been
a second rate, two bit quarterback his entire career. The
Giants gave him one hundred and sixty million dollars ninety
two million guarantee. He didn't use a gun, he didn't
(11:41):
have a knife. There was no note demanding payment. They
just forked over over ninety million dollars guaranteed to a
guy who's incompetent. That's the Giants. That's the Giants in
a nutshell. And I hope you enjoy every sack, every
wide open receiver that he doesn't find because he doesn't
have the vision to see them, and all the boring
(12:02):
quotes after these games. I want you to soak it
all in, enjoy all of it because you deserve it.
You absolutely deserve it all. Right now. The last word here,
I hope I didn'thur anyone's feelings with that. I just
wanted to get that off my chest. And just for
the record, I did have if you watched Benny Versus
the Penny on TV, I did have the Seahawks. So
I was not upset that the Giants did not win
(12:24):
the game. I was happy the Giants did not win
the game from a wagering standpoint. But moving on from that,
there's gonna be a complete overreaction now to what we
saw on Monday night, the other direction, the passing of
the baton. And now we're gonna hear Mama Luke's try
to sell us that Seattle is a good team. So
(12:45):
we'll ask the question. We're frame it this way. Are
you impressed with Pete Carroll and Gino Smith three and
one Seahawks? And the answer on this side of the
microphone is absolutely not with a capitol A. Now, Seattle's
got a nice record, but I put them in that
(13:07):
voodoo bugaloo category where they are until proven otherwise, an
optical illusion. Gino Smith was not only a quarterback, he
was lousy in this game didn't matter, and the Giants
lost the game. Most games are lost or not won.
This was not about Seattle. This is about the Giants
not being able to perform and compete and just a
(13:29):
gutless football team, the New York Giants. But in the
opening week, let's go back down memory lane here, we'll
bust some balls here for the Seahawks. In the opening week,
they played a team that is an equal to them,
the La Rams, and they were absolutely charboiled in their
own stadium in the second half. It was such a
terrible loss that the star receiver for the Seahawks after
the game admitted that there was infighting in the locker
(13:51):
room and they didn't play hard. That's not my commentary,
that's from inside the locker room. Now, in week two,
they got to win. This seems on the surface like
an impressive win. They made a splash to Seattle, beating
the Lions in overtime, But that came with a little
bit of an asterisk considering that Detroit lost Amon Ross
(14:12):
Saint Brown to injury, they're starting running back to injury,
and one of the key offensive linemen all during the
game went out with injury and that game went to overtime.
In Week three, they play the NFL's worst team, the
Carolina Panthers, and they started their backup quarterback, Andy Dalton,
So that was an easy victory there. And then you
(14:34):
had here in week four the Keystone Cops of the NFL,
Daniel Jones, who's clearly not cooking with gas. He's cooking
with a couple of rocks that he's trying to rub
together there and the New York Giants. So not impressed.
I am not impressed by Seattle's three to one start,
and they're gonna only fatten up that record. They are
going to fatten up that record even more because if
(14:54):
you look at the schedule, it is a hostess schedules.
We like to say in these parts. The Giants a
lot of sugar retreats upcoming. Now they have or for
the seats, rather, they have the buy Seattle's got to
buy upcoming. So Seattle obviously will not lose in week five,
but then after that, Seattle's got the hostess schedule. They
played the Ding Dongs, fruit Pie and Twinkies, better known
(15:18):
as a hobbled Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Who knows
if Burrow will still be playing by the end. If
he is, will he be any better? And the talently
challenged Arizona Cardinals, followed by the Cleveland Browns. Who knows
whether Deshaun Watson will decide he wants to play or not.
It's I guess up to him whether he wants to
(15:39):
play or not. He didn't want to play in the
game on Sunday, maybe he won't want to play in
that game. So needless to say, I need to see more,
need to see more from Pete Carroll Seahawks. But they
have taken advantage and you can win a bunch of
games that The Giants last year won a bunch of
games against inferior opponents and they had a better record
than they deserved. Seattle can do the same thing eventually,
(16:01):
though they're gonna have to play the forty nine ers
and better teams like that. I think they play the
Eagles and the Cowboys, So good luck on that. All right?

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Hey, we'll get to the calls coming up momentarily. And
here from the post game losing locker room. That's where
the story is. G Manage in Chicago rights since his
solid monologue, agree on the Seahawks watching this game? I
could have sworn it was the Chicago Bears dressed in
New York Giants uniforms? What's the difference between them? Pathetic
(18:18):
from top to bottom? Just Josh in Cincinnati writes, since
has drop a dime, here's my two common sense. Nice
to see if the state of football in New York
is mimicking the current state, it is in complete and
other chaos. They might want to change the lyrics in
(18:39):
that Frank Sinatra song because no one is making it
in New York? What about New Jersey? Does that count?
Who else? Do we have? Page down? The Burner account
writes it and says Benjamin Danny Dimes was worser than
a segment of picking with Poppy real quick, who's the
(18:59):
worst starting quarterback in the NFL, Daniel Jones or Zach Wilson.
I'll take my answer off the year with only Justin
Fields out of that conversation. He deserves to be part
of that conversation. You have to put him in that equation.
No Stra denis from Seattle rites and he says, clearly
Ben is upset that his Rams and the Seahawks are
(19:21):
teams heading in opposite directions. Well, Nostra Denas, please put
down the bong when you're sending messages into the show.
It's a bad job by you, late night drug tester
from Parts Unknown Rights and he says, why stop. It's
saying New York football is a lost season. A name
a team in the metro area that is worth a
dam in the last few years. Let's see a New
(19:44):
York sports team worth a damn last couple of years.
The Mets made the playoffs last year but flamed out
against the Padres. The Yankees a couple of years ago
were in I think they were in the league championship series,
but they didn't make the playoffs this year, so they
blow Mister Luciano writes in from La but his heart
(20:07):
is in San Francisco. He says nine point nine out
of ten on the Malay monologue. Easy call if you
are a gambler, the Seahawks to cover the spread. The
little Giants absolutely suck. Yeah, this is an odd one,
mister Luciano, because the wise guys, the sharps were on
the Giants for some reason. The public was on Seattle,
(20:30):
and normally the public you don't want to be with
the public. But there's just no way you could look
at that game based on what had happened coming into
the game. There's no way that you could possibly have
any confidence on betting on the on the Giants. Not
that Geno Smith makes your heart flutter, because I don't
(20:51):
think that's that's the case. I don't believe that is
the case at all. We will take some calls in
a minute, but let's hear from the postgame flavor and
start with Brian Dabel, who lost it, absolutely lost it.
A heat is on moment on the sidelines. Brian Dabel
confronting Daniel Jones, and he had a project dial in
(21:14):
his hand, the tablet, and he was so disgusted by
his incompetent quarterback, Daniel Jones, who doesn't know what he's
doing despite having ninety million dollars guaranteed money. After he
threw the ninety seven yard pick six interception and what happened, well,
Brian Dable went over there. There's a clip of it. It
(21:35):
was on the Monday night broadcast, and he was looking
at what had happened. Daniel Jones is sitting on the
sidelines getting hemorrhoids, and Brian Dabele's looking and realizes, wait
a minute, that's on the quarterback. My quarterback affed up.
He's a stumblebump. Daniel Jones number eight in your program,
but very at the very end of your list of
(21:57):
players you like in the NFL. Anyway, So Dable through
the tablet to the ground. He hammered it down, fluttered
away there as he went over to show Daniel Jones
his encompass. He then twisted the wrist and threw it down. Anyway,
Here is the head coach of the Giants, Brian Dable,
who was asked about the state of the New York
(22:20):
Giant fan base after this game.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yeah, I'd be upset too if I was a fan.
So there's a lot of things we got to do better,
and that's what we'll try to do.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay right to the point. We need more than that.
Here's Daniel Jones, the man of the hour. Here. Boy
does he stink, but he's one thing that does not
stink is his financial statement. I read this fluff piece.
Somebody sent me a fluff piece during the day and
it was I think it was on the Entertainment and
Sports Network's website, and it was talking about how Daniel
(22:51):
Jones does yoga and he stays grounded and he's a leader,
and I just like, wow, that was that written by
his pr People like who wrote that? Anyway, Here's Daniel.
Here's Daniel Jones. He's very robotic, he has all the
answers down. He's a Rhodes scholar. When the Giants lose,
he knows exactly what to say because what they lose
(23:13):
most of the time. Anyway, here's Daniel Jones saying all
the right things about letting people down in the locker room.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I mean, obviously I didn't didn't play well enough.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It was.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Unacceptable, and I let the team down. So I've got
to I've gotta fix it. I gotta work hard to
get it right, and I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Here, you work hard. Shouldn't you worked hard before this
game so they didn't happen? I mean, what do I know,
I just do the Overnight show. Anyway, Here's one more
from Danny Dimes the Dime Store Corps. It is fascinating
the fact that the Giants paid this guy. There should
be a study, a college study done on the levels
(23:58):
of suck that went into that decision to sign this
guy to an extension. I know it's not you get
out of it in a couple of years or whatever,
but still, anyway, here's more from the Giant side of things,
Daniel Jones. You'll hear the question and the answer about
all of those sacks. All of those sacks. Take a list.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Deel sacked ten times, time health difficult is to play
under these circumstances when you're in that much pressure.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Uh yeah, I mean give credits their their defense. They
rush hard and play well together. But I got to
do a better job getting through my reads, getting my ball,
getting the ball out of my hand, and making making
quick decisions. So I'll definitely look to work on that.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
There was a there was a debate. Some people said
it was actually eleven sacks. The official NFL stats had
at ten stats, so they one was I guess across
the line of scrimmage, so I didn't count as a sack.
But the Seahawks defense officially had ten sacks. They had
seven sacks when blitzing. That's the most sacks with if
(25:00):
five or more pass rushers by defense. Going back to
twenty eighteen and Daniel Jones, he attempted a grand total
of two passes over ten air yards the entire game,
and one of two for twenty two yards and one
was intercepted. I wonder what happened on that one that
(25:20):
was intercepted. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Fox Sports, MLB Network
and Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
And I'm Joe Madden. We're going to be around to
talk a little bit about managerial decisions and what may
have occurred to the dugout maybe in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
It's the Book of Joe Podcasts. I can't wait for this, Joe.
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in major League.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Baseball, cars, wind, whatever else we want to talk about.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Yeah, well there are no boundaries, right. Listen to the
Book of Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio app, on Apple
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Now bet, I would hate to spoil the Iowa minute,
but there is quarterback news involving the Hawkeyes. Sam's Hawkeyes.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You're gonna try? Are they going to go without a
quarterback and become the I think that they can go
the headless horseman route?
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Uh, well, we'll see. But Cave McNamara expected to miss
the rest of the season, and you're suffering a leg
injury and a win over Michigan State this past Saturday.
Uh Deacon Hill who Deacon Yeah, he came in for
McNamara when he got hurt, expected to get to start
this Saturday against Purdue.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
That made uh that made your uh your update there, Eddie,
that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Must be a look at that. That was like a
backhanded compliment. Iowa Sam just ripped you, Eddie, your college
he did Iowa Sam just took a shot at Eddie
Garcia on National rads. Honestly, Sam just must be a uh,
You're you're questioning.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Apparently Apparently, what Sam is saying is that the University
of Iowa football program is not worthy of being mentioned
on national radio. That is correct, So I will take
that under advisement for future episodes.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
He would like you to talk about Drake here you
want to.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Here's here's a little uh, here's some info free singing.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
There are on occasions that I will include news that
maybe I would not otherwise include if it involves a
member of the show. For example, if the Clippers have
some news about them, and they're not a team that
usually gets talked to another.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
But I will to the people. Eddie will show. There's
a lot of random because of ben So, but there's
a lot of NBA. There was media Day in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
It was, yes, very exciting to see those guys put
on their uniforms, even though they weren't actually playing.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I should go to media Day. I have not been
in years. I used to go to media days. It
became too corporate for me, Eddie and once the bloggers
took over. There's a lot of nerd bloggers basketball bloggers.
Once they took over, I got out of there as
I can't handle those guys. Wow, I can't. I can't
handle them. That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Band boys of the radio. A lot of the radio
people are We're kind of seen as the lesser, you know,
the team.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, no, but I think the blogger, the basketball blogger,
is lower at the bottom of the totem pole where
the dog urinates where the radio people used to be.
Because there's hardly any radio people left. So when you
see a radio person it's like a Haley's Comment situation.
You're like, oh, that's kind of cool, you know, radio person.
(28:43):
But the basketball blogger and these.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I would argue the radio person is below the blogger.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I disagree. I disagree that the blogger slobbers all over
the basketball player. They got all the analytics out. It's
very annoying. So anyway, it is the Ben Malors Show,
hopefully not annoying. But you'll be the judger that brought

the news. Wait a minute, I don't want that news.
If you're watching Monday Night football. Well, you notice that
Jamal Adams, the safety who had been out for three
hundred and eighty five days with injuries. Jamal Adams, he's
a football player. Actually they're all football players. But he
(29:33):
had returned. It was a big deal. He was back
in the lineup for Seattle, missed three hundred and eighty
five days. He played for nine plays and he ended
up getting knocked out. He was a hit. And here's
where here's where things got interested. So Adams gets taken
out of the game. He returned, he came back. He
(29:54):
ended up playing nine plays and then you know what
hit the fan? There? The offeces hit the fan. Adams
took a knee to the head from Danny Dimes. There
was a scramble play. He stayed down. So medical team
comes out in the field, they evaluate him, They put
him in the medical tent. And so the NFL they
(30:17):
have an independent neurologist who I guess gets free popcorn
and candy and gets to go to the game or
wear that hat on the sidelines. So the independent neurologist
goes into the injury tent and says that's it. IX
Nay on the football a you're done. And that is
when Adams blew a gasket and it was caught on camera,
(30:39):
candid camera on the sidelines as he had a very
passionate conversation with the independent neurologist checking whether or not
he had suffered a concussion. And he thinks that Jamal
Adams believes he did not have a concussion, And if
(31:00):
Jamal Adams had not been held back by a couple
of random rogues Seahawk officials, that he might have taken
out the neurologist wearing the suit and the red hat
on the sidelines there as he was escorted out. It
kind of looked like a boxer going back to the
locker room after a fight because he was surrounded by one, two, three, four, five,
(31:22):
six seven people as Jamal Adams made his way back
through the bowels of MetLife Stadium there in Jersey. Let's
go to the phones and we'll say hello to Frank
the tank in Iowa. He's cashing a golden ticket. Hello
Frank in Iowa. You gotta goll the tag. Get to
goll the tag.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Hey, yeah, man, I want to talk to you about
the state of the NFC North. Who do you think
can man handle and get past the motormouth duties of
Detroit in their motormouth coach.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
You're annoyed by the Lions, You're bothered by the lines.
The answer is none of the above. It certainly isn't
just I go Bears. They're already eliminated, So forget about
the Bears. The Green Bay Packers. The Green Bay Packers
are nine to eight wins, somewhere in that nine eight
win if everything goes right, and if things go bad
they win six or seven games. And then after that
(32:16):
the Vikings, who are able to match up with the
Lions talent wise, but they got butterfingers. They turn the
ball over way too much, and they still have some
issues on defense.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
So bidy fuss, I think I think Kirk Cousins needs
to go. This should be his last year.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Well, he's gonna go. Then he is your you know,
he's gonna go. He's in the last year of his contract.
And then he's gonna go somewhere and they'll move to
Iowa and live with you.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh that won't work.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
That won't work.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Okay, that won't work. He's got a lot of money though.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well I ain't got a lot of money. Give me
some of it. I can sure use it.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well, charge him, rent rent him out on, you know,
rent them a room and IOWA, yeah, help you out well, Frank.
That's a it's a riveting phone call, as always. Your
your machine, Frank, not only a tank a machine. All right,
thank you, hang up on you. So we end the
call right now. I want to end on such a
positive note. I don't want to. I want to Sully
(33:18):
the rest of the show. Well, baseball season ended on Sunday,

flagship in LA. I will be on from noon to
three Pacific time today here on Tuesday, and you listen anywhere.
(00:47):
You don't have to be in LA, but that's on
AM five seventy on the iHeartRadio app. But on the
radio show, where does this Daniel Jones performance of the
Monday night game leave the Giants? As he was not
only a quarterback, he was horrible? Also, who's to blame
for the giants wicked bad performance to start the twenty
twenty three season. Man, have they been horrific? And are
(01:10):
you impressed with Pete Carroll's three and one Seattle Seahawks team.
They're eating well right now in Seattle. We'll talk about
that and much more right now here. It is our
number one a Monday night, doude. Well come in the
beginning of another edition of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We are in the air everywhere dribbling as we settle
in to the funhouse of mirrors coast, border.

doing better than the New York football team that goes
by the Moniker, the Giants. Yes, yeah, not hard to
(02:26):
be doing better than them. Man, wow, Hey, at least
I got paid to watch the game, so you didn't
have to. I mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't think you
would stay with that game. I mean, that was bad.
That was a bad product that was put out in
the field. But our lead does come from the NFL.
The final matchup. The curtain has gone down on Week
(02:48):
four of the football schedule in beautiful New Jersey and
that's where Pete Carroll and the Seahawks bringing their hippie
van to the East Coast for a matchup with the
reeling Giants. Life comes at you fast in the NFL
when you're a fraud. Giants were frog last year and
they're proving out to be a fraud this year as well.
(03:09):
They were a smoking mirrors team last year, and the
smoking mirrors have gone away and the Giants what do
you have left?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So if you didn't see the game, and perhaps you
have discretion and better judgment, and you stared out into
the night sky and did not watch the game. A
rookie defensive back name Devin Witherspoon who had a ninety
seven yard interception return late in the third quarter the Seahawks.
(03:37):
You get a sack, you get a sack. You get
a sack, You get a sack, you get a sack.
You get eleven sacks in a twenty four to three
roasting of the offensively and football challenged Giants on Monday night.
And I had some people call me up because we
(03:57):
were getting ready for the NFL season that were questioning
my judgment on the Giants. I imagine those people will
go into hiding, as normally happens in this business. They
will not be calling up anymore. Now. The Seattle Seahawks
are three and one. They lost to the Rams in
Week one and then have beaten a bunch of bad teams.
Here they win their third straight. Giants drop to one
(04:19):
in three on the year. That is where the story is.
Don't bury the lead, my man. The better story is
in the losing locker room. So let us discuss. And
you start and really stop with the quarterback position. So
the question where does this performance El's sticko. Where does
this performance by Daniel Jones leave the Giants? So I've
(04:42):
got DNA court and marshalled and voodoo bugaloo, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a roast beef sandwich. I think the
Giants got turned into roast beef. I think that's what happened.
I'm not sure though. All right, so a let's start
(05:04):
with this. The Giants sinking into a cesspool and there's
no one around. They don't have a life preserver. There's
no lifeguard to save them from falling into the abyss.
They're sitting at one and three. They had the fluke
come back against a challenged Arizona. Arizona places hard, but
I don't have a lot of talent, and right now
(05:24):
the Giants are looking up at the guillotine with their
next two road dates at Miami an angry Dolphins team.
We know what the Dolphins do against inferior opponents, like,
for example, the Broncos when they play them early. So
that is the match up ahead Giants Dolphins, and after
that they play the Bills. So that's lost loss. You
(05:47):
can write with a pen there one in five start
for the Giants. The poop is arising up, it is
bubbling up. Enjoy the smell, and Daniel Jones deserves Daniel
Jones DECs to get ripped right now all day later
on and the day after and the day after and
the day after, and it's a great litmus test. The
(06:10):
eleven sacks, Now that's a cartoonish number eleven sacks. But
the same thing happens all the time. When a quarterback
who sucks has a performance like this, the quarterback defenders,
the people that go out of their way to brown
nose of the quarterbacks will say, well, it's not his fault.
This is all the offensive lines fault. It's not Daniel Jones' fault.
(06:33):
And to those who feel that way, we laugh at
you because you're an idiot, right, tell me you don't
know what you're talking about. Without telling me you don't
know what you're talking about a few of those sacks.
And when I say a few, a few of those
sacks were on the fat guys. The vast majority were
football negligence by Daniel Jones. Danny Dimes has been in
(06:56):
the NFL now for five years, and he isn't any
better today in the pocket than he was as a rookie.
This guy is lacking the DNA of greatness, the genetic
code of greatness. He does not have. It's flawed for him.
He is short on peripheral vision and just being able
(07:19):
to pick things up in the pocket. You have to
sense the pocket. Poulter geyst there's a poltergeist you've got
to sense it. He doesn't sense it, right, These are
things that separate the sheep from the goats. Daniel Jones
is one of these guys who looks really good when
everything is okay or good around him. Right when Sequon
(07:40):
Barkley's running the ball, they've got a good offensive line,
good receivers. One thing goes wrong and the house of
cards comes tumbling down, and the only one left standing
is him, the joker. And that type of quarterback is
a dime a dozen. There is nothing, nothing special, right,
(08:01):
There's nothing special, nothing spectacular about Daniel Jones. He was
bad in college, he's bad in the NFL. And yet
I keep hearing these bozo's trying to prop up Daniel
Jones and saying, if only here this, you know, it's
the what about ism? Right, it's what about this? What
about that? What about? What about?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
What about?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What about? What about? What about? Enough?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
All?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Page two here? Who's to blame for the Giants' overall
wicked bad performance? And man is it a wicked bad
performance to start twenty twenty three? So Daniel Jones, obviously,
as we've diagrammed here, he's the one that's out in
(08:46):
front you toss him out on the Jersey Turnpike. He's
earned it. However, the wound is deeper than just Vanilla vic.
This is an indictment of the front office, tweedled d
and tweedled dumb, Brian Dable, the rotund head coach, who
I think has had to come to Jesus moment watching
him on the sidelines, like oh my god, what have
(09:07):
we done. You ever made that mistake where you do
something and then in hindsight you're like, oh, I really
shouldn't have done that, But then you've done it, and
then you have to live with it. And that's the
giants and Brian Dables like, my god, this guy's got
cooties and he's my quarterback and we signed him. And
the general manager there, Joe Shane as well. I mean,
(09:29):
they should be court martialed. These guys, the GM and
the coach should be court martialed. Jones deal was ending.
They were about to escape the shackles of Daniel Jones.
They were going to be unchained from anything to do
with Danny Dimes, free to find someone better. But they
(09:51):
got swept up in that phony. Bologney nine win season
of twenty twenty two. They were overjoyed. The Giants are back.
The gem man, it was orgasmic. And the Giant front office,
these morons running a multi billion dollar business, right, multi
billion dollars Giant front office, did the thing you can't
(10:12):
do at the time you can't do it. They let
the dopamine hit of a playoff performance and a win
against an equally overrated Viking team. They let that dopamine
hit take them over. Right. These Mama Lukes knew what
they had, and they still said, you know what, We're
gonna spin the wheel of fortune round and round and
(10:33):
round and round and round. Then round and round and
round the wheel of fortune. And where it stopped. Well,
bunch of blithering idiots, the New York Giants, this embarrassment.
I mean, the Giants are getting closer and closer to
the Jets, who they share the stadium with, and I'm
enjoying every second of it. The biggest media market in
the United States has complete and total incompetence on their
(10:58):
football operations. I did Giants last season. Now they had
to reward Daniel Jones, had to he had a breakout
season and twenty twenty two, said the dumb fan, the
Giants had the twenty sixth ranked passing offense. That's a
breakout season. Imagine out of a thirty two team league.
You are the quarterback of the twenty sixth ranked passing offense,
(11:20):
and that is a breakout season. Let's pay you. We're
gonna make it rain. Yes, Yeah, And so they rewarded
Daniel Jones with a new contract. Danny Dimes has been
a second rate, two bit quarterback his entire career. The
Giants gave him one hundred and sixty million dollars ninety
two million guarantee. He didn't use a gun, he didn't
(11:41):
have a knife. There was no note demanding payment. They
just forked over over ninety million dollars guaranteed to a
guy who's incompetent. That's the Giants. That's the Giants in
a nutshell. And I hope you enjoy every sack, every
wide open receiver that he doesn't find because he doesn't
have the vision to see them, and all the boring
(12:02):
quotes after these games. I want you to soak it
all in, enjoy all of it because you deserve it.
You absolutely deserve it all. Right now. The last word here,
I hope I didn'thur anyone's feelings with that. I just
wanted to get that off my chest. And just for
the record, I did have if you watched Benny Versus
the Penny on TV, I did have the Seahawks. So
I was not upset that the Giants did not win
(12:24):
the game. I was happy the Giants did not win
the game from a wagering standpoint. But moving on from that,
there's gonna be a complete overreaction now to what we
saw on Monday night, the other direction, the passing of
the baton. And now we're gonna hear Mama Luke's try
to sell us that Seattle is a good team. So
(12:45):
we'll ask the question. We're frame it this way. Are
you impressed with Pete Carroll and Gino Smith three and
one Seahawks? And the answer on this side of the
microphone is absolutely not with a capitol A. Now, Seattle's
got a nice record, but I put them in that
(13:07):
voodoo bugaloo category where they are until proven otherwise, an
optical illusion. Gino Smith was not only a quarterback, he
was lousy in this game didn't matter, and the Giants
lost the game. Most games are lost or not won.
This was not about Seattle. This is about the Giants
not being able to perform and compete and just a
(13:29):
gutless football team, the New York Giants. But in the
opening week, let's go back down memory lane here, we'll
bust some balls here for the Seahawks. In the opening week,
they played a team that is an equal to them,
the La Rams, and they were absolutely charboiled in their
own stadium in the second half. It was such a
terrible loss that the star receiver for the Seahawks after
the game admitted that there was infighting in the locker
(13:51):
room and they didn't play hard. That's not my commentary,
that's from inside the locker room. Now, in week two,
they got to win. This seems on the surface like
an impressive win. They made a splash to Seattle, beating
the Lions in overtime, But that came with a little
bit of an asterisk considering that Detroit lost Amon Ross
(14:12):
Saint Brown to injury, they're starting running back to injury,
and one of the key offensive linemen all during the
game went out with injury and that game went to overtime.
In Week three, they play the NFL's worst team, the
Carolina Panthers, and they started their backup quarterback, Andy Dalton,
So that was an easy victory there. And then you
(14:34):
had here in week four the Keystone Cops of the NFL,
Daniel Jones, who's clearly not cooking with gas. He's cooking
with a couple of rocks that he's trying to rub
together there and the New York Giants. So not impressed.
I am not impressed by Seattle's three to one start,
and they're gonna only fatten up that record. They are
going to fatten up that record even more because if
(14:54):
you look at the schedule, it is a hostess schedules.
We like to say in these parts. The Giants a
lot of sugar retreats upcoming. Now they have or for
the seats, rather, they have the buy Seattle's got to
buy upcoming. So Seattle obviously will not lose in week five,
but then after that, Seattle's got the hostess schedule. They
played the Ding Dongs, fruit Pie and Twinkies, better known
(15:18):
as a hobbled Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Who knows
if Burrow will still be playing by the end. If
he is, will he be any better? And the talently
challenged Arizona Cardinals, followed by the Cleveland Browns. Who knows
whether Deshaun Watson will decide he wants to play or not.
It's I guess up to him whether he wants to
(15:39):
play or not. He didn't want to play in the
game on Sunday, maybe he won't want to play in
that game. So needless to say, I need to see more,
need to see more from Pete Carroll Seahawks. But they
have taken advantage and you can win a bunch of
games that The Giants last year won a bunch of
games against inferior opponents and they had a better record
than they deserved. Seattle can do the same thing eventually,
(16:01):
though they're gonna have to play the forty nine ers
and better teams like that. I think they play the
Eagles and the Cowboys, So good luck on that. All right?

out live from the tirak dot com Fox Sports Radio studios,
it's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Hey, we'll get to the calls coming up momentarily. And
here from the post game losing locker room. That's where
the story is. G Manage in Chicago rights since his
solid monologue, agree on the Seahawks watching this game? I
could have sworn it was the Chicago Bears dressed in
New York Giants uniforms? What's the difference between them? Pathetic
(18:18):
from top to bottom? Just Josh in Cincinnati writes, since
has drop a dime, here's my two common sense. Nice
to see if the state of football in New York
is mimicking the current state, it is in complete and
other chaos. They might want to change the lyrics in
(18:39):
that Frank Sinatra song because no one is making it
in New York? What about New Jersey? Does that count?
Who else? Do we have? Page down? The Burner account
writes it and says Benjamin Danny Dimes was worser than
a segment of picking with Poppy real quick, who's the
(18:59):
worst starting quarterback in the NFL, Daniel Jones or Zach Wilson.
I'll take my answer off the year with only Justin
Fields out of that conversation. He deserves to be part
of that conversation. You have to put him in that equation.
No Stra denis from Seattle rites and he says, clearly
Ben is upset that his Rams and the Seahawks are
(19:21):
teams heading in opposite directions. Well, Nostra Denas, please put
down the bong when you're sending messages into the show.
It's a bad job by you, late night drug tester
from Parts Unknown Rights and he says, why stop. It's
saying New York football is a lost season. A name
a team in the metro area that is worth a
dam in the last few years. Let's see a New
(19:44):
York sports team worth a damn last couple of years.
The Mets made the playoffs last year but flamed out
against the Padres. The Yankees a couple of years ago
were in I think they were in the league championship series,
but they didn't make the playoffs this year, so they
blow Mister Luciano writes in from La but his heart
(20:07):
is in San Francisco. He says nine point nine out
of ten on the Malay monologue. Easy call if you
are a gambler, the Seahawks to cover the spread. The
little Giants absolutely suck. Yeah, this is an odd one,
mister Luciano, because the wise guys, the sharps were on
the Giants for some reason. The public was on Seattle,
(20:30):
and normally the public you don't want to be with
the public. But there's just no way you could look
at that game based on what had happened coming into
the game. There's no way that you could possibly have
any confidence on betting on the on the Giants. Not
that Geno Smith makes your heart flutter, because I don't
(20:51):
think that's that's the case. I don't believe that is
the case at all. We will take some calls in
a minute, but let's hear from the postgame flavor and
start with Brian Dabel, who lost it, absolutely lost it.
A heat is on moment on the sidelines. Brian Dabel
confronting Daniel Jones, and he had a project dial in
(21:14):
his hand, the tablet, and he was so disgusted by
his incompetent quarterback, Daniel Jones, who doesn't know what he's
doing despite having ninety million dollars guaranteed money. After he
threw the ninety seven yard pick six interception and what happened, well,
Brian Dable went over there. There's a clip of it. It
(21:35):
was on the Monday night broadcast, and he was looking
at what had happened. Daniel Jones is sitting on the
sidelines getting hemorrhoids, and Brian Dabele's looking and realizes, wait
a minute, that's on the quarterback. My quarterback affed up.
He's a stumblebump. Daniel Jones number eight in your program,
but very at the very end of your list of
(21:57):
players you like in the NFL. Anyway, So Dable through
the tablet to the ground. He hammered it down, fluttered
away there as he went over to show Daniel Jones
his encompass. He then twisted the wrist and threw it down. Anyway,
Here is the head coach of the Giants, Brian Dable,
who was asked about the state of the New York
(22:20):
Giant fan base after this game.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yeah, I'd be upset too if I was a fan.
So there's a lot of things we got to do better,
and that's what we'll try to do.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay right to the point. We need more than that.
Here's Daniel Jones, the man of the hour. Here. Boy
does he stink, but he's one thing that does not
stink is his financial statement. I read this fluff piece.
Somebody sent me a fluff piece during the day and
it was I think it was on the Entertainment and
Sports Network's website, and it was talking about how Daniel
(22:51):
Jones does yoga and he stays grounded and he's a leader,
and I just like, wow, that was that written by
his pr People like who wrote that? Anyway, Here's Daniel.
Here's Daniel Jones. He's very robotic, he has all the
answers down. He's a Rhodes scholar. When the Giants lose,
he knows exactly what to say because what they lose
(23:13):
most of the time. Anyway, here's Daniel Jones saying all
the right things about letting people down in the locker room.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I mean, obviously I didn't didn't play well enough.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It was.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Unacceptable, and I let the team down. So I've got
to I've gotta fix it. I gotta work hard to
get it right, and I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Here, you work hard. Shouldn't you worked hard before this
game so they didn't happen? I mean, what do I know,
I just do the Overnight show. Anyway, Here's one more
from Danny Dimes the Dime Store Corps. It is fascinating
the fact that the Giants paid this guy. There should
be a study, a college study done on the levels
(23:58):
of suck that went into that decision to sign this
guy to an extension. I know it's not you get
out of it in a couple of years or whatever,
but still, anyway, here's more from the Giant side of things,
Daniel Jones. You'll hear the question and the answer about
all of those sacks. All of those sacks. Take a list.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Deel sacked ten times, time health difficult is to play
under these circumstances when you're in that much pressure.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Uh yeah, I mean give credits their their defense. They
rush hard and play well together. But I got to
do a better job getting through my reads, getting my ball,
getting the ball out of my hand, and making making
quick decisions. So I'll definitely look to work on that.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
There was a there was a debate. Some people said
it was actually eleven sacks. The official NFL stats had
at ten stats, so they one was I guess across
the line of scrimmage, so I didn't count as a sack.
But the Seahawks defense officially had ten sacks. They had
seven sacks when blitzing. That's the most sacks with if
(25:00):
five or more pass rushers by defense. Going back to
twenty eighteen and Daniel Jones, he attempted a grand total
of two passes over ten air yards the entire game,
and one of two for twenty two yards and one
was intercepted. I wonder what happened on that one that
(25:20):
was intercepted. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Fox Sports, MLB Network
and Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
And I'm Joe Madden. We're going to be around to
talk a little bit about managerial decisions and what may
have occurred to the dugout maybe in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
It's the Book of Joe Podcasts. I can't wait for this, Joe.
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in major League.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Baseball, cars, wind, whatever else we want to talk about.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Yeah, well there are no boundaries, right. Listen to the
Book of Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio app, on Apple
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Now bet, I would hate to spoil the Iowa minute,
but there is quarterback news involving the Hawkeyes. Sam's Hawkeyes.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You're gonna try? Are they going to go without a
quarterback and become the I think that they can go
the headless horseman route?
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Uh, well, we'll see. But Cave McNamara expected to miss
the rest of the season, and you're suffering a leg
injury and a win over Michigan State this past Saturday.
Uh Deacon Hill who Deacon Yeah, he came in for
McNamara when he got hurt, expected to get to start
this Saturday against Purdue.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
That made uh that made your uh your update there, Eddie,
that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Must be a look at that. That was like a
backhanded compliment. Iowa Sam just ripped you, Eddie, your college
he did Iowa Sam just took a shot at Eddie
Garcia on National rads. Honestly, Sam just must be a uh,
You're you're questioning.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Apparently Apparently, what Sam is saying is that the University
of Iowa football program is not worthy of being mentioned
on national radio. That is correct, So I will take
that under advisement for future episodes.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
He would like you to talk about Drake here you
want to.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Here's here's a little uh, here's some info free singing.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
There are on occasions that I will include news that
maybe I would not otherwise include if it involves a
member of the show. For example, if the Clippers have
some news about them, and they're not a team that
usually gets talked to another.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
But I will to the people. Eddie will show. There's
a lot of random because of ben So, but there's
a lot of NBA. There was media Day in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
It was, yes, very exciting to see those guys put
on their uniforms, even though they weren't actually playing.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I should go to media Day. I have not been
in years. I used to go to media days. It
became too corporate for me, Eddie and once the bloggers
took over. There's a lot of nerd bloggers basketball bloggers.
Once they took over, I got out of there as
I can't handle those guys. Wow, I can't. I can't
handle them. That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Band boys of the radio. A lot of the radio
people are We're kind of seen as the lesser, you know,
the team.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, no, but I think the blogger, the basketball blogger,
is lower at the bottom of the totem pole where
the dog urinates where the radio people used to be.
Because there's hardly any radio people left. So when you
see a radio person it's like a Haley's Comment situation.
You're like, oh, that's kind of cool, you know, radio person.
(28:43):
But the basketball blogger and these.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I would argue the radio person is below the blogger.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I disagree. I disagree that the blogger slobbers all over
the basketball player. They got all the analytics out. It's
very annoying. So anyway, it is the Ben Malors Show,
hopefully not annoying. But you'll be the judger that brought

the news. Wait a minute, I don't want that news.
If you're watching Monday Night football. Well, you notice that
Jamal Adams, the safety who had been out for three
hundred and eighty five days with injuries. Jamal Adams, he's
a football player. Actually they're all football players. But he
(29:33):
had returned. It was a big deal. He was back
in the lineup for Seattle, missed three hundred and eighty
five days. He played for nine plays and he ended
up getting knocked out. He was a hit. And here's
where here's where things got interested. So Adams gets taken
out of the game. He returned, he came back. He
(29:54):
ended up playing nine plays and then you know what
hit the fan? There? The offeces hit the fan. Adams
took a knee to the head from Danny Dimes. There
was a scramble play. He stayed down. So medical team
comes out in the field, they evaluate him, They put
him in the medical tent. And so the NFL they
(30:17):
have an independent neurologist who I guess gets free popcorn
and candy and gets to go to the game or
wear that hat on the sidelines. So the independent neurologist
goes into the injury tent and says that's it. IX
Nay on the football a you're done. And that is
when Adams blew a gasket and it was caught on camera,
(30:39):
candid camera on the sidelines as he had a very
passionate conversation with the independent neurologist checking whether or not
he had suffered a concussion. And he thinks that Jamal
Adams believes he did not have a concussion, And if
(31:00):
Jamal Adams had not been held back by a couple
of random rogues Seahawk officials, that he might have taken
out the neurologist wearing the suit and the red hat
on the sidelines there as he was escorted out. It
kind of looked like a boxer going back to the
locker room after a fight because he was surrounded by one, two, three, four, five,
(31:22):
six seven people as Jamal Adams made his way back
through the bowels of MetLife Stadium there in Jersey. Let's
go to the phones and we'll say hello to Frank
the tank in Iowa. He's cashing a golden ticket. Hello
Frank in Iowa. You gotta goll the tag. Get to
goll the tag.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Hey, yeah, man, I want to talk to you about
the state of the NFC North. Who do you think
can man handle and get past the motormouth duties of
Detroit in their motormouth coach.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
You're annoyed by the Lions, You're bothered by the lines.
The answer is none of the above. It certainly isn't
just I go Bears. They're already eliminated, So forget about
the Bears. The Green Bay Packers. The Green Bay Packers
are nine to eight wins, somewhere in that nine eight
win if everything goes right, and if things go bad
they win six or seven games. And then after that
(32:16):
the Vikings, who are able to match up with the
Lions talent wise, but they got butterfingers. They turn the
ball over way too much, and they still have some
issues on defense.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
So bidy fuss, I think I think Kirk Cousins needs
to go. This should be his last year.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Well, he's gonna go. Then he is your you know,
he's gonna go. He's in the last year of his contract.
And then he's gonna go somewhere and they'll move to
Iowa and live with you.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh that won't work.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
That won't work.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Okay, that won't work. He's got a lot of money though.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well I ain't got a lot of money. Give me
some of it. I can sure use it.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well, charge him, rent rent him out on, you know,
rent them a room and IOWA, yeah, help you out well, Frank.
That's a it's a riveting phone call, as always. Your
your machine, Frank, not only a tank a machine. All right,
thank you, hang up on you. So we end the
call right now. I want to end on such a
positive note. I don't want to. I want to Sully
(33:18):
the rest of the show. Well, baseball season ended on Sunday,
and today is our Tuesday show, and so that means
the MLB Wild Card Pick Them makes its debut. The
wild Card Pick Them very exciting. A bunch of games.
