Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome. It's our number one of the
Mathers Show podcast. So we had a wonderful weekend. A reminder,
as I wore myself out, I have to do a
podcast for the company here, So if you want to
hear that bonus content only available in the podcast format,
I'll tell you why I was really bummed out last week.
Something happened that flashed back to my childhood and it
(00:24):
was literally on fire. Part of my childhood was on fire.
We talked about that over the weekend. Some other odd
Tales had a great mail bag that is available for
your download. Fifth hour podcast one you want. In addition
to this hour one, we start with a Sunday night
game the Jets and the Raiders. Is it now time
for the Jets to finally bench Zach Wilson after they
(00:44):
lose again? Aaron Rodgers, according to NBC, plans to return
to the Jets lineup in mid December. Believe it or not?
And are you convinced that Antonio Pierce is the right
choice for the Raiders After two games, two games against
the Jets and the Giants, we discuss all of those
issues and many more right now here. It is our
(01:07):
number one another prime time dud Wel come in the
beginning of another week of the Benmathers Show. We are
in the air everywhares we chatter away and say be
(01:28):
all you can be by listening to marginal overnight sports radio.
Coast to coast, border the border and beyond. On the
mast and downright, powerful microphones of fs are emmating live
from the casino. Life is a casino? How do you
play your chips? We saw a game play just down
(01:52):
the street from a bunch of casinos as we are
broadcasting live from the Tirak dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended his dollars tyer rack dot com. The way that
tire buying shoot be big headline, big headline, Silver and
(02:17):
Black are back. They're back, got it all figured out,
got rid of Josh mcdummy, and now the Raiders are cooking.
They are cooking. And that's our lead from Sin City
this hour. That's the headline. There the Jets touching down
for a date playdate there with the Raiders. Mike Tarico,
Chris Collinsworth promoting all kinds of Vegas hotspots there in
(02:41):
the hiszye and it was a big Sunday night, big
Sunday night, not a matchup that really had a lot
of juice to it. Didn't. If you think it did,
your delusional did not. We watched it now. Josh Jacobs
did something that he hasn't done in a long time.
He ran for over one hundred yards and one hundred
and sixteen yards. Eaton O'Connell didn't play well, but he
(03:03):
did have the lone touchdown. Pass of the game found
Michael Meyer, the Golden Domer there for the only touchdown
of the game, and the Raiders improved a two to
zero on the season under their interim coach Antonio Pierce,
straight out of Compton, and the Raiders win the game
(03:24):
by four. Jets had multiple chances late in the game.
The Raiders are five and five, and they were able
to turn away the Jets a couple of late drives there,
including a Zach Wilson interception, which is what he does.
And the better story is in the losing locker room,
(03:44):
where a couple of weeks ago the chatter was the Jets,
the Jets are a playoff team, are you still saying
that Jets are a playoff team. Now, if they were
in the NFC, you'd say yes. In the AFC not
so much. Now. The better question is it now time
to pull the rug from underneath Zack Wilson and to
(04:05):
ben Zack Wilson is the quarterback of the Jets. I've
got expiration date, kool aid, and volume knob and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a headache, is what we're going to make,
which you likely had if you were tuned in, engaged
(04:27):
in what was going on in the Sunday night game.
So hey, listen, the Jets are who we thought they were.
If you want to crown them, crown their asses. But
I get a kick out of the reaction from many
in the pundit world, Well now the Jets have to
bench Jack Wilson. This should have happened weeks ago, Like
what are we doing? Seriously? Like where how stupid are you?
(04:51):
This guy is a turn, Zack Wilson. He's been a
turn ever since he got to the NFL. It's like, well, no,
it's Now's the t losing to the Raiders on Sunday Night.
That's the point of demarcation. We've crossed the rubicon. Really, really,
come on, how many drives do the Jets have to
(05:12):
go through where they don't get a touchdown before you're like, well,
I guess the answer is the Sunday Nike takes someone
to have intestinal fortitude to pull the quarterback and listening
between the words, Robert Sala has got no marbles. He
does not have the marbles to do it. And I
(05:32):
got the vibe from his weekly paid radio appearance in
New York that there are powers that be above Robert
Sala that are keeping Zach Wilson in there. And I
don't get it. Maybe you can figure it out. I
can't figure it out. But when Robert Sala, the coach
of the Jets this week, said I'm gonna plead the fifth,
I'm gonna take the fifth when asked why not go
(05:55):
with Trevor Simeon, Zach Wilson is well past his expiration date. Now,
there are ways you can take expired food and eat them.
You have to involves a lot of heat, gonna heat
them up, things like that. But man, you watch the Jets,
it's like they're running the four corners offense. I didn't
know that was a thing in the NFL. Like they're
trying to run out the clock, play keep away, keep
(06:16):
the ball away from the other team, and trying to
just have Zach waste space. I guess they know they
can't get in the end zone, so they won't make
it a field goal range. That'll be great. There's don't
need a sugar coady. What's the point of sugar Cody right,
its eggs and eggs suck the suck'. That's the situation there.
The crackling and sputtering of the Jets offense with Zach
(06:39):
Wilson because Zach is whack that could be the bumper Strea. Now,
Trevor Simmy, Let's not sit here and say that Trevor
simmey and is God's gift to the quarterback position. He's
a he's got his own set of issues. But watching
Zach Wilson play hell, I'd rather see Fireman Ed play
quarterback for the Jets. Just hey, if the Giants can
start a guy in de Veto who shouldn't be playing
(07:02):
in the NFL, why can't the Jets be playing Fireman Ed?
Who says no, he's already got the helmet he can
wear the fireman helmet. That's fine. I'll give him an
exemption put a face mask on it. Who says no.
But I am of the and I have no skin
of the game. I'm not a Jets backer by any means.
I like goofing on the Jets. Everywhere I worked in
radio over the years and media, there's always Jets fans.
(07:24):
The TV show I work on now, one of my
producers big Jets fan, right, So I'm always surrounded by
the Jets fans. I always like because it's more fun
to goofund and when they lose. But it should be
abz W should be the That should be ABZW. Anybody
but Zach Wilson. That should be the mandra anybody but
Zach Wilson. Because at worst it's a lateral move. It's
(07:47):
not worse. You're not worse. How can you be worse?
You don't get touchdowns. Touchdests are for boten in the
Jets offense. All right, Now turn to the page. If
you were listening closely to the NBC broadcast on Sunday night,
you likely heard the report that Aaron Rogers has decided
(08:08):
when he is coming back baby to save the Bacon
of the Jets, and it was reported by the Sunday
Night broadcast that Aaron Rodgers had informed them his plan
is to come back in mid December, and that comes
via the Sunday Night report. So Aaron Rodgers has it
all laid out to return to the Jets lineup in
(08:32):
mid December, believe it or not. So I looked at
the Jets schedule, I looked at Aaron Rodgers. He was
on the sidelines there, and I am agnostic is the word.
I am not a believer. I am not a believer
on this one. I'm not drinking the green kool aid
with Aaron Rodgers on this. Now, why would Rogers return
(08:55):
to a team that's not a playoff team, especially when
you talk about the fact that to come back other
than make some kind of medical statement, which I guess
I mean that's the argument. Rogers is trying to do
this to say that Western medicine is fed up and
he's going to come back and prove that all these
doctors are full of crap and he can come back
(09:17):
from an ACL injury in three months as opposed to
the usual six, nine, twelve months. If that's the goal,
that's fine. But in terms of the football stuff, mid December,
I circled the date December seventeenth in South Florida, the
Dolphins and the Jets. That's the matchup, December seventeenth, the Jets.
(09:39):
Right now, let's do the hero and now the Jets
are four and five after their loss to the Raiders,
so they're a losing team. Losing team's not gonna make
the playoffs in the AFC as it stands right now.
So the Jets have to play at Buffalo. They already
beat Buffalo one time, it's gonna be harder to do
it in the shadow of Niagara Falls. And then you've
got a home game with the Dolphins in Jersey. Those
(10:02):
are the next two games, and those are considering the
Jets cannot score and the Dolphins can score, that seems
like that's going to be lost, so you're looking at
lost loss most likely. Then you play the Falcons and
the Texans after that play the schedule game. So those
are next four games, so realistic. Let's say the Jets
win the Atlanta game, and the way the Texans are
(10:25):
going right now, they can score some points, so good
luck on that. So you're looking at one in three
So if my malor math is correct, that means the
Jets will be five and eight at that point, three
games under five hundred. At most, they can go nine
and eight, And at that time Rogers is going to
come back. Really, I'd like to have what you're smoking,
(10:46):
my god, and the acl injury, he would return after
ninety seven days. That's the amount of he was shot
on September eleventh. That would be ninety seven days. That's
three months and a couple of extra days on top
of it. For an injury again, it normally takes six
to nine months. But he will prove all of all
of the medical everyone that took the Hipocratic oath is
(11:09):
full of crap. Aaron Rodgers is gonna do that. Now,
imagine the list of waivers that Rogers and the Jets
are going to have to sign from the insurance companies.
If Rogers is going to come back in three months
as opposed to six, nine or a year, I say, okay,
we'll let you come back, but if your leg gets
twisted around and snapped off like a twig, we're not responsible. Okay,
(11:34):
I'm just saying anyway, right last word here, So let's
go to the Raider's side. The winning locker, I'm gonna
sell run block. That's cent Guards. They were smoking the Stougies,
another Stougy party for the Raiders. And now I I've
read a lot here from the insider crowd that this
is this is it. The Raiders have found there forever coach. Now,
(11:57):
so are you convinced that Antonio Peers is the man
for the Raiders?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I like AP and I want him to be the
Raiders coach. But I'm already annoyed by the media coverage.
I'm already pissed off by what I'm hearing about Antonio Peers.
I want him to get the job, but I'm gonna
call it like it is. Let's call a spade a spade.
The spades in Vegas and those casinos. But here's the issue, right,
and I think he's got a really good chance to
(12:27):
get the Raider full time job. But after two games, right,
you take the knob, you twist the knob, You turn
the knob down on the noise, the volume, the volume knob,
you turn that down when it comes to Antonio Peace,
Why I have a sneaking suspicion that he hasn't yet
played a real NFL team. Have you looked at the
(12:49):
Giants and the Jets. The quarterbacks are Tommy DeVito and
Zach Wilson. That's who the Raiders took down. That's the
junior var City of the NFL. Now, you're supposed to
beat who you're you play and all that. I get
all the cliches and all that, but is that an
impressive thing? Taking a couple of tomato cans and spiking
(13:11):
the tomato cans down? Do you celebrate the spike in
the tomato? Okay, it's how pathetic that a lot of
these Raider guys are really excited about this. They think
they got something. Now, I'll tell you when I get excited,
and I'm not a Raider guy. But the next stretch
of games, here's another opportunity to hear and Antonio Pierce
beating the Jets and the Giants. Okay, whoopee damn do
(13:31):
but you want to show me something. You got a
game at the Dolphins. Here's what's up for the Raiders
at the Dolphins. They play Kansas City in Vegas. They
have the bye week. I think they'll win that and
then Vikings in Vegas, Chargers in Vegas and Chiefs. So
those are the next five games. If Josh McDaniels is
(13:52):
coaching the Raiders, they go, what one in four in
that stretch, maybe two and three, but probably one in four,
So do better than that, do better than that, and
then we got something right. Now, beating the Jets and
the Giants does not get you all excited. Done, it shouldn't,
does your pathetic You're a loser, all right? Is the

Speaker 4 (16:37):
I was at a football game and I was too
Where were you sitting?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I was in the press box. I was working member
of the media, and park working Fox. Chris Burfet Lions blogger. Yeah,
he was in there.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
I asked him if you did a Mallard and got
up in the press box.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He never ended it.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
He was too embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
But he wore that I like perfect because he wore
the same outfit he wears here. I thought maybe really yes, Wow, yeah,
I thought he would dress I thought he would dress up.
But he dressed like he normally does.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
That's uh yeah, I'm sure he must have got some
curious looks. How did this hold this guy get?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
You've just seen Rob Parker though, Man, my guy Rob
was in his element man with all those because he's
you know, he worked in Detroit. He still got ties.
He has businesses in Detroit. Was Bernie. I did not
see bern I did not see Bernie, but because.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I heard he worked on the Lions broadcast. I think
I heard that something.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
He never likes to talk about that. He likes to
downplay the fact that he worked on the Lions broadcast.
He doesn't like to promote that. He likes you just
to find out on your own. He doesn't want it.
But anyway, but yeah, no, so it was. It was
out there.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Those Chargers play some exciting games. I will give them that,
I will give I.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Don't play much defense, though, for hiring a defensive for excitement,
then yeah, that was a good guy. I enjoyed it.
I thought it was great.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
He was entertaining being a Chargers season ticket holder of sorts.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yes, well, you invest in the Chargers. It is.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
And it's been an interesting experience too, because I love football.
I love going to games, and so I can go
to games and I see these exciting games. I feel
bad for my wife, especially like the playoffs. She has
an emotion because, yeah, she's invested in this, like or
you know, hook Line and Singer.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
So I could just watch it and have fun and
be afterwards be like, man, that was a good game.
She's ready to, you know, jump off a building. But
for me, it's like, wow, that was fun. That was fine.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And I got to tell you that I thought of
all the games that I've been going to so far
for years. I thought of all the games I've been
down there. This for the Chargers, it looked like it
was all there. Cred It wasn't a lot of white blue, no,
but it was all It was a similar shade of.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Blue, very old from Honolulu. Blue and powder blue are
very close.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So what I'm saying it is, from a distance, it
looked like it was all Charger fans until the Lions
did something and then you know, seventy percent of the
stadium started. I know, I got you all, but it
was a lot and they're all going crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
My wife even said, I are there really this many Lions?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I know, I said the same thing I was telling
people from the people from Detroit were shocked there were
that many Lions fans.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Well, this is their season, right, I mean, they haven't
been good lot of time, so they've saved up a
lot of money to go to games and all that stuff.
So I guess so THO was our guy Joel there.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Do you think he wasn't free loading with me?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Ra So I don't I told much. My wife said,
are there that many Lions fans in southern California? And
I said, well, we've got to at work more than that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
So who's the other one, Well, Bernie, we've got Prefet
and Joel and Rob. Well Rob hates the Lions.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Well, I mean, in all seriousness, doesn't it be serious? No,
I'm I'm being I'm saying and I'm being serious when
I say this. Yes, doesn't it not matter who the
other team is, it's going to be majority whatever that
team's fans?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Well, the the test is like the Arizona Cardinals who
have no fans. Yeah, that's like the one that would
be Jacksonville.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Who was there was one this year where there wasn't
that many. I can't remember who it was. I've looked
the schedule. Yeah, usually it's just the the you know,
the Cowboys, the Steelers, Packers, Eagles, Packers, you know, yeah,
Raiders of course.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Well there's more Raider fans than Ram fans and Charger
fans in LA. They're more Raider fans. But of course
the NFL couldn't put the Raiders back in La God forbid.
That would be a terrible decision for the NFL. So
they had to put them in Vegas. It is the
Ben Malischell, let's get to the calls and let's see. Well,
I have people on Twitter that want to Yeah, but
let's go to the phones. Andre in the Commonwealth checking in.
(20:40):
I'm not talking to Andre and sometimes he's in the
education world. Hello, Andre, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Ben?
Speaker 7 (20:46):
It's it's good to be with you. It's been too long.
I've been darrelecting my responsibilities in terms of a mallet militia.
I'm not happy about that. Okay, you've graceless here in
the commonwealths and Benny versus the Penny on NBC Sports
on Friday Night. You know, and I have reciprocated in
terms of my participation now that we're into the school
(21:06):
year proper, and so this says no good. You know,
how can you move up in the rank if.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
You're not Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
In fact, there was a meeting with Justin and Cincinnati
and just Josh and some of the brigadier generals are like,
we got to move on right down on the big board.
We got to move him down heetn't called, he hasn't participated.
We got to move him down.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
It has to happen, but just just not as we
go into the holiday season. I'm taking this. I'm taking
this seriously, and we're gonna we're gonna step it up.
But in terms of the New York Jets, Ben, I
don't know what to tell you, but Zack Wilson, you
know he's all they got.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, he's not all they got. Yeah, Trevor Simeon has
started from multiple teams, and the way Zach Wilson's played,
Zach Wilson ought to be working in education because he
can't play quarterbacks. So just take him out of his
misery youth in Asia, get rid of him. Take him
off the team first of.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
All, in terms of education. Our football team the Barnstaball RedHawks,
formerly the Red Raiders, but now the RedHawks. They're in
the final fource. So we could use that Wilson in
terms of offensive courting. But right now, Ben, listen, the Jet,
I don't know what they were thinking. They could have
brought it into Teddy Bridgewater. They could have brought in
a gardener Minshew with all his swags. They could have
bought in a back up to compete with Aaron Rodgers,
(22:21):
knowing that he was old. I eat the San Francisco
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Right, no, no, all right, But here's the other Listen.
I'll give him that. I'll say, yeah, you're right. But
once he got hurt the first quarter of the first
game September eleventh, that Monday night, you then go out
and trade for a quarterback. You don't keep putting the
poop sandwich out on on the field. What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Point taken? You made that point. Also, other folks. Rob's
argument made that point. I agree one hundred percent. I
think salary cap wise, they were a little bit strict.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Oh no, start with this, Sarah. I'm a salary cap truther.
I don't want to hear about the salary cap. You
make it work, You move some numbers around, you cook
the books. It's Enron and counting accounting. He's Bernie made
off accounting there in the NFL.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Okay, well, you know, I got sure. But Bernie did
bring a lot of people down with that with that Ponzi.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So is Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson's bringing an entire billion
dollar franchise their knees.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
He has been. But here's what I'm saying. You gotta
make the lemonade now out of the lemons that you have.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
No, no, no, no, no, You're done. If that's your plan,
You're done. Trevor Simeon. I stand with Trevor.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
All I gotta say is the Jets are in a
lot better situation than when we got going on here
in the Commonwealth. The defense is keeping them in these games.
But this is something that again back to the original
point that a lot of people have made. You could
have been like the forty nine ers, who, by the way,
I've also brought in Chase Young in terms of being
innovative during the season. Kyle Shanahan would not have it.
(23:55):
He knew that Trey Lance was questionable. He didn't just
rely on brock Purdy. He also gave himself that stainty
blanket and Sam Darnold just haven't done that. And look
at that.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
You made your.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Bed just like myself not being a good partici friend
of malin militia. Now I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Step it up.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, all right, all right, all right, go to bed now.
I thank you. I must move on though, Andre in
the Commonwealth, Double O Mexican in San Diego. He is
a real Raider fan, he says nine point one on
the top of the hour Mallond monologue. I wouldn't say
those wins get me excited, but it's way better than
mcdummy losing to Bagrints bears. But I agree the Raiders
(24:33):
that this stretch will reveal whether they or not a
playoff contender and whatnot. Mason in Huntington Beach says, Hey, man,
what's the weather like tonight in Sherman Oaks? Is it windy?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, we gotta play the autumn wind. The autumn wind
is a rater. So Mark, if you get a chance,
if you can find the autumn win. Now my version Mark,
because I sang the Autumn win. That's the Raider victory song.
So if you can find that in the system, let
us know by request for listener. Mason in hunting In
Beach Art of Sports talks as a plus. Men enjoyed
the various smoking references in the top of the hour
(25:07):
mal monologue. Let's see here page down. Super Marcus Steve says,
way to go NFL bookending a day of epic games
with that Turnburger in Germany and that crap sandwich in
in Vegas. The whole, the deal, the whole, the whole thing.
(25:28):
All right, let's get to the Let's get to the
sporting news of the day, and we will promise we
will also get at some point here as we shift
through the overnight problems in the cockpit, the all kinds
of speculation about DeVante Adams, what's going on with him
and the real Mama's boy. But right now, let's get
(25:49):
you caught up on everything going on in the overnight.
And here he is. The merman.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Eddie Garcia, a name was just mentioned. And one of
my things I like to do when I go to
sporting him, especially FOOTBA, because there's so many people there
is looking for unusual jerseys that people are wearing, right,
so there was plenty of. I saw a lot of
Barry Sanders today, arm On Rocks, Saint Brown. Someone was
wearing a Teddy Bridgewater jersey and I said, Teddy Bridgewater
(26:17):
played for the Lions. I don't even remember him playing,
but he's on the Lions right now. Apparently he's the
Badham quarterback for the I'm like, is that a family member?
Why would anybody buy that? Was it a freebie.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Anyway, got it like an address.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It was. It was kind of like a Helmet Man special.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You know, I thought I didn't see helmet man. I
did walk. I I circumvented the stadium. I did not
see helmet man. I looked for him, but I didn't see.
I saw a lot of people, hot, hot, hot, hard.
I saw all of those people everywhere. Those people they
were I'm good. I'm good. I don't need your bacon
(26:55):
wrapt dog, but they.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Do smell good.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
You know, Ben, some of us have a dream of
being paid a lot of money and not work. Yes,
And then there's jimbo Fisher. For college football, he was
fired as head coach at Texas A and M. He's
getting paid by the school seventy six million dollars to
not coach the Aggies. He's going to get nineteen point
two million within sixty days, and then seven point two
million annually through twenty thirty one. Even if he coaches
(27:27):
another team. He could get another job if he wants
and still get that money. Ends his tenure at A
and m forty five and twenty five over six seasons,
no appearances in the SEC title game. Elijah Robinson, your
interim coach of the Aggies of Texas A and M.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Is that where Irvin Meyer ends up Texas A and M.
Or does he go to USC to replace the departing
coach at USC? Who is going to the NFL quarry
mines would like to know, but Jimbo Fisher the number
I saw bouncing around that for the next eight years,
Jimbo Fisher every day will get twenty six thousand, three
hundred one dollars. If he gets up, doesn't get out
(28:03):
of bed, just stays in bed all day, orders Uber
Eats or whatever has has the food delivered, he's getting
paid twenty seven if he has If he has diarrhea
and he spends all day on the toilet and he's poping,
he gets twenty six thousand dollars. Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yeah, good for him.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You gotta retire, right If you're Jimbo, I keep coaching
that you've won. You've won, that's it. You're You're a
maid man. You can live, you can travel, do whatever
you want for twenty six thousand dollars A day, My god,
why would you man anyway, It is the Yes, it
is the Bennett Malor Show. As we continue on through
(28:44):
these overnight hours and problems in the cockpit. This was
not by design, I promise you, this was not by design.
But the NBC cameras caught Aaron Rodgers by mistake, vehemently
disagreeing with Nathaniel Hackett. If you're watching the Sunday night game,
you probably saw this on the sidelines, as Rogers had
(29:07):
the headset on and was monitoring what was going on
and did not approve of the coaching of his bff.
The only reason Nathaniel Hackett has a job in the
NFL right now is because of Aaron Rodgers. And the
Jets are an interesting spot because not only should Zach
Wilson be demoted, but Nathaniel Hackett should have his play
(29:30):
calling duties removed. But the Jets made such a big
hullabaloo when Nathaniel Hackett was called out by Sean Payton
in Denver that I'll bet you they will not remove
Nathaniel Hackett as the play caller because of that, in
part because that'll make them look like idiots, because they
(29:50):
hired this guy and then they're gonna take the play
calling away from him before the season even ends. Let's
go back to the phones. We'll say hello to Cowboy Dan.
I guess that I know what that means. Hello Cowboy Dan,
Cowboy ah Man. That was really in doubt there. I
didn't think they were gonna pull that one out. That's
a tough one, that's a that's a quality win. Lawrence
(30:13):
Taylor did not have a sack in that game. Phil
Simms no touchdowns, Tiki Barber didn't get in the end zone,
Amani Tumor didn't get in a tremendous job by the Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
And Dak touchdowns, and Cde Lamb is clearly the best
receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh is that right? Ceedee, Lamb's the greatest receiver in
the NFL. Right, what are you smoking?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
The better story is in the loser's locker room, right, Ben?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That is correct, Yes, the better story is in the
losing locker room. By the way, this portion of the

Speaker 6 (31:02):
Should Brian Daball be fired?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh? Sure, fire him right now. Yes, I'm all for it.
Let him go back to Buffalo. That's what all the
bills fans want. Have you noticed we haven't had a
lot of bills fans call up recently. I don't know
where that is.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, I don't know, but you're consistent. I'll give you that.
Cowboy Dan, Hi Eddie. That's right, that's random. You just
said hi, hi Eddie. That's a random hello to Eddie.
It's unexpected. All right, Well, anything else? You just want
to call up to a little victory lap? Now you
even go lay down, go to bed.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
Yes, Oh, I might listen to the show for a
WHI don't see if there's any more Cowboy Dan references.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Oh you tune in just there? You got a big ego.
You just want to hear your name? Huh, All right,
I'll hang up on you. You're boring me, so thank
you all, go away, cowboy. So we mentioned problems in
the cockpit with Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett, how about
the chatter about the future of DeVante Adams. Devontae Adams
seems like he's having a great time to throw to
the ball a bunch. I believe he was targeted thirteen
(32:03):
times in this game, if I saw that number correctly.
But the chatter at the trade deadline, which was on Halloween,
the Carolina Panthers tried to woo the Raiders to get
Devonte Adams, but the Raiders were not playing ball. They
were busy firing Josh McDaniels, so they couldn't make any trades.
(32:23):
They were firing the GM and the coach right at
the deadline, so they the Panthers Carolina, I don't know
what they were going to trade. They don't have a
first round pick, so I guess they'd have to trade
what a second third round pick something like that to
get Devonte Adams. And there's a more chatter that the
Jets are going to try to steal and poach Devonte
(32:43):
Adams from the Raiders in the upcoming offseason, which will
be the Silly season in the NFL is in late
February and March. That's the main part of the Silly season.
Here's who am I Game? Here we go. Las Vegas
linebacker Robert Splane has three interceptions this season. I am
(33:06):
the last Raider linebacker to have three interceptions in the
season prior to him. Who am I? The answer? We'll
get to it. We'll do it next.

Here is the who am I Game? A blatant attempt
to get you to listen to a couple minutes longer.
It appears to have worked. Vegas linebacker Robertsplane now has
three interceptions picked off Zach Wilson in the Sunday Night
game late in the game. I am the last race
linebacker to have three interceptions in a season? Who am I?
That is the question? What is the answer? By the
(34:08):
way Mark and Minnesota says, damn it, kid, I just
realized the show was on. Can you start the show over? Yeah,
that's why we have the podcast and we'll rebroadcast the

I think he got it right. You got one of
the right answers. Snoop Menace from Bay City. Tony big
Lew says the Penny's older brother, Little Penny. But that
(35:31):
is the way to go. Rod and Martin from Matt
the Warrior Raider fan. Who else do we have? Cowboy
Dan is the guest by GM managed in Chicago. Boy,
I can't believe that many people came up with Greg Beaker. Eddie,
do you have an answer to the who am I game? Again?
Vegas linebacker Roberts Bulane now has three interceptions of the season.
(35:53):
I'm the last Raider linebacker prior to him to have
three interceptions in a season.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yes, it's former Super Bowl hero Jack Skwyrick.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
A fine answer, but that is incorrect, Daddy. Unfortunately, the
correct answer we would have accepted either Thomas Howard or
former Fox Sports radio personality Kirk Morrison. Back in twenty
oh seven, sixteen years ago. The last time a Raider
linebacker had three or one interceptions, Thomas Howard had six
that year, and Kirk Morrison, who used to work here,
(36:24):
had four. So I'm not saying the Raiders haven't had
great linebacker play in the last sixteen years. You can.
Anybody can go bad sixteen years without getting an interception.
I mean, that happens. It's part of the deal. Now,
this story over the weekend, My god, what a story.
So Tommy DeVito, the quarterback of the Giants starting quarterback
(36:49):
for now in the NFL. It was reported over the weekend.
He admitted to it. He lives with his parents in
northern New Jersey. Do you see this over the way
he lives with his parent His mom still makes his
bed and does his laundry. My god, I love it
because I'm Jewish. But Jewish and Italian mothers are very similarity.
That they they they worship their children, they spoil it.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
He's agreed to stay at home. Get you.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
My mom probably would have done the same thing. You're like, hey, y'all,
do your laundry. I went to my for years. I
went to my mom's house, did my launch. I did
my laundry, but I took the laundry down there. But
this guy's for now a starting quarterback in the NFL,
and he's living in his parents' house and he's, uh,
he's probably his mom's making him breakfast and packing like
a paper bag lunch. Why are you shaking your head? Yes,
(37:41):
black Marker, all right, sharpey, all right, Tommy, make sure
you complete some passes today and don't suck like you're
doing every other game. Come on, make the family proud, Tommy,
Here we go. Welcome. It's our number one of the
Mathers Show podcast. So we had a wonderful weekend. A reminder,
as I wore myself out, I have to do a
podcast for the company here, So if you want to
hear that bonus content only available in the podcast format,
I'll tell you why I was really bummed out last week.
Something happened that flashed back to my childhood and it
(00:24):
was literally on fire. Part of my childhood was on fire.
We talked about that over the weekend. Some other odd
Tales had a great mail bag that is available for
your download. Fifth hour podcast one you want. In addition
to this hour one, we start with a Sunday night
game the Jets and the Raiders. Is it now time
for the Jets to finally bench Zach Wilson after they
(00:44):
lose again? Aaron Rodgers, according to NBC, plans to return
to the Jets lineup in mid December. Believe it or not?
And are you convinced that Antonio Pierce is the right
choice for the Raiders After two games, two games against
the Jets and the Giants, we discuss all of those
issues and many more right now here. It is our
(01:07):
number one another prime time dud Wel come in the
beginning of another week of the Benmathers Show. We are
in the air everywhares we chatter away and say be
(01:28):
all you can be by listening to marginal overnight sports radio.
Coast to coast, border the border and beyond. On the
mast and downright, powerful microphones of fs are emmating live
from the casino. Life is a casino? How do you
play your chips? We saw a game play just down
(01:52):
the street from a bunch of casinos as we are
broadcasting live from the Tirak dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended his dollars tyer rack dot com. The way that
tire buying shoot be big headline, big headline, Silver and
(02:17):
Black are back. They're back, got it all figured out,
got rid of Josh mcdummy, and now the Raiders are cooking.
They are cooking. And that's our lead from Sin City
this hour. That's the headline. There the Jets touching down
for a date playdate there with the Raiders. Mike Tarico,
Chris Collinsworth promoting all kinds of Vegas hotspots there in
(02:41):
the hiszye and it was a big Sunday night, big
Sunday night, not a matchup that really had a lot
of juice to it. Didn't. If you think it did,
your delusional did not. We watched it now. Josh Jacobs
did something that he hasn't done in a long time.
He ran for over one hundred yards and one hundred
and sixteen yards. Eaton O'Connell didn't play well, but he
(03:03):
did have the lone touchdown. Pass of the game found
Michael Meyer, the Golden Domer there for the only touchdown
of the game, and the Raiders improved a two to
zero on the season under their interim coach Antonio Pierce,
straight out of Compton, and the Raiders win the game
(03:24):
by four. Jets had multiple chances late in the game.
The Raiders are five and five, and they were able
to turn away the Jets a couple of late drives there,
including a Zach Wilson interception, which is what he does.
And the better story is in the losing locker room,
(03:44):
where a couple of weeks ago the chatter was the Jets,
the Jets are a playoff team, are you still saying
that Jets are a playoff team. Now, if they were
in the NFC, you'd say yes. In the AFC not
so much. Now. The better question is it now time
to pull the rug from underneath Zack Wilson and to
(04:05):
ben Zack Wilson is the quarterback of the Jets. I've
got expiration date, kool aid, and volume knob and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a headache, is what we're going to make,
which you likely had if you were tuned in, engaged
(04:27):
in what was going on in the Sunday night game.
So hey, listen, the Jets are who we thought they were.
If you want to crown them, crown their asses. But
I get a kick out of the reaction from many
in the pundit world, Well now the Jets have to
bench Jack Wilson. This should have happened weeks ago, Like
what are we doing? Seriously? Like where how stupid are you?
(04:51):
This guy is a turn, Zack Wilson. He's been a
turn ever since he got to the NFL. It's like, well, no,
it's Now's the t losing to the Raiders on Sunday Night.
That's the point of demarcation. We've crossed the rubicon. Really, really,
come on, how many drives do the Jets have to
(05:12):
go through where they don't get a touchdown before you're like, well,
I guess the answer is the Sunday Nike takes someone
to have intestinal fortitude to pull the quarterback and listening
between the words, Robert Sala has got no marbles. He
does not have the marbles to do it. And I
(05:32):
got the vibe from his weekly paid radio appearance in
New York that there are powers that be above Robert
Sala that are keeping Zach Wilson in there. And I
don't get it. Maybe you can figure it out. I
can't figure it out. But when Robert Sala, the coach
of the Jets this week, said I'm gonna plead the fifth,
I'm gonna take the fifth when asked why not go
(05:55):
with Trevor Simeon, Zach Wilson is well past his expiration date. Now,
there are ways you can take expired food and eat them.
You have to involves a lot of heat, gonna heat
them up, things like that. But man, you watch the Jets,
it's like they're running the four corners offense. I didn't
know that was a thing in the NFL. Like they're
trying to run out the clock, play keep away, keep
(06:16):
the ball away from the other team, and trying to
just have Zach waste space. I guess they know they
can't get in the end zone, so they won't make
it a field goal range. That'll be great. There's don't
need a sugar coady. What's the point of sugar Cody right,
its eggs and eggs suck the suck'. That's the situation there.
The crackling and sputtering of the Jets offense with Zach
(06:39):
Wilson because Zach is whack that could be the bumper Strea. Now,
Trevor Simmy, Let's not sit here and say that Trevor
simmey and is God's gift to the quarterback position. He's
a he's got his own set of issues. But watching
Zach Wilson play hell, I'd rather see Fireman Ed play
quarterback for the Jets. Just hey, if the Giants can
start a guy in de Veto who shouldn't be playing
(07:02):
in the NFL, why can't the Jets be playing Fireman Ed?
Who says no, he's already got the helmet he can
wear the fireman helmet. That's fine. I'll give him an
exemption put a face mask on it. Who says no.
But I am of the and I have no skin
of the game. I'm not a Jets backer by any means.
I like goofing on the Jets. Everywhere I worked in
radio over the years and media, there's always Jets fans.
(07:24):
The TV show I work on now, one of my
producers big Jets fan, right, So I'm always surrounded by
the Jets fans. I always like because it's more fun
to goofund and when they lose. But it should be
abz W should be the That should be ABZW. Anybody
but Zach Wilson. That should be the mandra anybody but
Zach Wilson. Because at worst it's a lateral move. It's
(07:47):
not worse. You're not worse. How can you be worse?
You don't get touchdowns. Touchdests are for boten in the
Jets offense. All right, Now turn to the page. If
you were listening closely to the NBC broadcast on Sunday night,
you likely heard the report that Aaron Rogers has decided
(08:08):
when he is coming back baby to save the Bacon
of the Jets, and it was reported by the Sunday
Night broadcast that Aaron Rodgers had informed them his plan
is to come back in mid December, and that comes
via the Sunday Night report. So Aaron Rodgers has it
all laid out to return to the Jets lineup in
(08:32):
mid December, believe it or not. So I looked at
the Jets schedule, I looked at Aaron Rodgers. He was
on the sidelines there, and I am agnostic is the word.
I am not a believer. I am not a believer
on this one. I'm not drinking the green kool aid
with Aaron Rodgers on this. Now, why would Rogers return
(08:55):
to a team that's not a playoff team, especially when
you talk about the fact that to come back other
than make some kind of medical statement, which I guess
I mean that's the argument. Rogers is trying to do
this to say that Western medicine is fed up and
he's going to come back and prove that all these
doctors are full of crap and he can come back
(09:17):
from an ACL injury in three months as opposed to
the usual six, nine, twelve months. If that's the goal,
that's fine. But in terms of the football stuff, mid December,
I circled the date December seventeenth in South Florida, the
Dolphins and the Jets. That's the matchup, December seventeenth, the Jets.
(09:39):
Right now, let's do the hero and now the Jets
are four and five after their loss to the Raiders,
so they're a losing team. Losing team's not gonna make
the playoffs in the AFC as it stands right now.
So the Jets have to play at Buffalo. They already
beat Buffalo one time, it's gonna be harder to do
it in the shadow of Niagara Falls. And then you've
got a home game with the Dolphins in Jersey. Those
(10:02):
are the next two games, and those are considering the
Jets cannot score and the Dolphins can score, that seems
like that's going to be lost, so you're looking at
lost loss most likely. Then you play the Falcons and
the Texans after that play the schedule game. So those
are next four games, so realistic. Let's say the Jets
win the Atlanta game, and the way the Texans are
(10:25):
going right now, they can score some points, so good
luck on that. So you're looking at one in three
So if my malor math is correct, that means the
Jets will be five and eight at that point, three
games under five hundred. At most, they can go nine
and eight, And at that time Rogers is going to
come back. Really, I'd like to have what you're smoking,
(10:46):
my god, and the acl injury, he would return after
ninety seven days. That's the amount of he was shot
on September eleventh. That would be ninety seven days. That's
three months and a couple of extra days on top
of it. For an injury again, it normally takes six
to nine months. But he will prove all of all
of the medical everyone that took the Hipocratic oath is
(11:09):
full of crap. Aaron Rodgers is gonna do that. Now,
imagine the list of waivers that Rogers and the Jets
are going to have to sign from the insurance companies.
If Rogers is going to come back in three months
as opposed to six, nine or a year, I say, okay,
we'll let you come back, but if your leg gets
twisted around and snapped off like a twig, we're not responsible. Okay,
(11:34):
I'm just saying anyway, right last word here, So let's
go to the Raider's side. The winning locker, I'm gonna
sell run block. That's cent Guards. They were smoking the Stougies,
another Stougy party for the Raiders. And now I I've
read a lot here from the insider crowd that this
is this is it. The Raiders have found there forever coach. Now,
(11:57):
so are you convinced that Antonio Peers is the man
for the Raiders?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I like AP and I want him to be the
Raiders coach. But I'm already annoyed by the media coverage.
I'm already pissed off by what I'm hearing about Antonio Peers.
I want him to get the job, but I'm gonna
call it like it is. Let's call a spade a spade.
The spades in Vegas and those casinos. But here's the issue, right,
and I think he's got a really good chance to
(12:27):
get the Raider full time job. But after two games, right,
you take the knob, you twist the knob, You turn
the knob down on the noise, the volume, the volume knob,
you turn that down when it comes to Antonio Peace,
Why I have a sneaking suspicion that he hasn't yet
played a real NFL team. Have you looked at the
(12:49):
Giants and the Jets. The quarterbacks are Tommy DeVito and
Zach Wilson. That's who the Raiders took down. That's the
junior var City of the NFL. Now, you're supposed to
beat who you're you play and all that. I get
all the cliches and all that, but is that an
impressive thing? Taking a couple of tomato cans and spiking
(13:11):
the tomato cans down? Do you celebrate the spike in
the tomato? Okay, it's how pathetic that a lot of
these Raider guys are really excited about this. They think
they got something. Now, I'll tell you when I get excited,
and I'm not a Raider guy. But the next stretch
of games, here's another opportunity to hear and Antonio Pierce
beating the Jets and the Giants. Okay, whoopee damn do
(13:31):
but you want to show me something. You got a
game at the Dolphins. Here's what's up for the Raiders
at the Dolphins. They play Kansas City in Vegas. They
have the bye week. I think they'll win that and
then Vikings in Vegas, Chargers in Vegas and Chiefs. So
those are the next five games. If Josh McDaniels is
(13:52):
coaching the Raiders, they go, what one in four in
that stretch, maybe two and three, but probably one in four,
So do better than that, do better than that, and
then we got something right. Now, beating the Jets and
the Giants does not get you all excited. Done, it shouldn't,
does your pathetic You're a loser, all right? Is the

Where were you sitting?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I was in the press box. I was working member
of the media, and park working Fox. Chris Burfet Lions blogger. Yeah,
he was in there.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
I asked him if you did a Mallard and got
up in the press box.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He never ended it.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
He was too embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
But he wore that I like perfect because he wore
the same outfit he wears here. I thought maybe really yes, Wow, yeah,
I thought he would dress I thought he would dress up.
But he dressed like he normally does.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
That's uh yeah, I'm sure he must have got some
curious looks. How did this hold this guy get?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
You've just seen Rob Parker though, Man, my guy Rob
was in his element man with all those because he's
you know, he worked in Detroit. He still got ties.
He has businesses in Detroit. Was Bernie. I did not
see bern I did not see Bernie, but because.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I heard he worked on the Lions broadcast. I think
I heard that something.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
He never likes to talk about that. He likes to
downplay the fact that he worked on the Lions broadcast.
He doesn't like to promote that. He likes you just
to find out on your own. He doesn't want it.
But anyway, but yeah, no, so it was. It was
out there.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Those Chargers play some exciting games. I will give them that,
I will give I.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Don't play much defense, though, for hiring a defensive for excitement,
then yeah, that was a good guy. I enjoyed it.
I thought it was great.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
He was entertaining being a Chargers season ticket holder of sorts.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yes, well, you invest in the Chargers. It is.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
And it's been an interesting experience too, because I love football.
I love going to games, and so I can go
to games and I see these exciting games. I feel
bad for my wife, especially like the playoffs. She has
an emotion because, yeah, she's invested in this, like or
you know, hook Line and Singer.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
So I could just watch it and have fun and
be afterwards be like, man, that was a good game.
She's ready to, you know, jump off a building. But
for me, it's like, wow, that was fun. That was fine.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And I got to tell you that I thought of
all the games that I've been going to so far
for years. I thought of all the games I've been
down there. This for the Chargers, it looked like it
was all there. Cred It wasn't a lot of white blue, no,
but it was all It was a similar shade of.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Blue, very old from Honolulu. Blue and powder blue are
very close.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So what I'm saying it is, from a distance, it
looked like it was all Charger fans until the Lions
did something and then you know, seventy percent of the
stadium started. I know, I got you all, but it
was a lot and they're all going crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
My wife even said, I are there really this many Lions?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I know, I said the same thing I was telling
people from the people from Detroit were shocked there were
that many Lions fans.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Well, this is their season, right, I mean, they haven't
been good lot of time, so they've saved up a
lot of money to go to games and all that stuff.
So I guess so THO was our guy Joel there.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Do you think he wasn't free loading with me?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Ra So I don't I told much. My wife said,
are there that many Lions fans in southern California? And
I said, well, we've got to at work more than that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
So who's the other one, Well, Bernie, we've got Prefet
and Joel and Rob. Well Rob hates the Lions.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Well, I mean, in all seriousness, doesn't it be serious? No,
I'm I'm being I'm saying and I'm being serious when
I say this. Yes, doesn't it not matter who the
other team is, it's going to be majority whatever that
team's fans?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Well, the the test is like the Arizona Cardinals who
have no fans. Yeah, that's like the one that would
be Jacksonville.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Who was there was one this year where there wasn't
that many. I can't remember who it was. I've looked
the schedule. Yeah, usually it's just the the you know,
the Cowboys, the Steelers, Packers, Eagles, Packers, you know, yeah,
Raiders of course.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Well there's more Raider fans than Ram fans and Charger
fans in LA. They're more Raider fans. But of course
the NFL couldn't put the Raiders back in La God forbid.
That would be a terrible decision for the NFL. So
they had to put them in Vegas. It is the
Ben Malischell, let's get to the calls and let's see. Well,
I have people on Twitter that want to Yeah, but
let's go to the phones. Andre in the Commonwealth checking in.
(20:40):
I'm not talking to Andre and sometimes he's in the
education world. Hello, Andre, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Ben?
Speaker 7 (20:46):
It's it's good to be with you. It's been too long.
I've been darrelecting my responsibilities in terms of a mallet militia.
I'm not happy about that. Okay, you've graceless here in
the commonwealths and Benny versus the Penny on NBC Sports
on Friday Night. You know, and I have reciprocated in
terms of my participation now that we're into the school
(21:06):
year proper, and so this says no good. You know,
how can you move up in the rank if.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
You're not Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
In fact, there was a meeting with Justin and Cincinnati
and just Josh and some of the brigadier generals are like,
we got to move on right down on the big board.
We got to move him down heetn't called, he hasn't participated.
We got to move him down.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
It has to happen, but just just not as we
go into the holiday season. I'm taking this. I'm taking
this seriously, and we're gonna we're gonna step it up.
But in terms of the New York Jets, Ben, I
don't know what to tell you, but Zack Wilson, you
know he's all they got.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, he's not all they got. Yeah, Trevor Simeon has
started from multiple teams, and the way Zach Wilson's played,
Zach Wilson ought to be working in education because he
can't play quarterbacks. So just take him out of his
misery youth in Asia, get rid of him. Take him
off the team first of.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
All, in terms of education. Our football team the Barnstaball RedHawks,
formerly the Red Raiders, but now the RedHawks. They're in
the final fource. So we could use that Wilson in
terms of offensive courting. But right now, Ben, listen, the Jet,
I don't know what they were thinking. They could have
brought it into Teddy Bridgewater. They could have brought in
a gardener Minshew with all his swags. They could have
bought in a back up to compete with Aaron Rodgers,
(22:21):
knowing that he was old. I eat the San Francisco
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Right, no, no, all right, But here's the other Listen.
I'll give him that. I'll say, yeah, you're right. But
once he got hurt the first quarter of the first
game September eleventh, that Monday night, you then go out
and trade for a quarterback. You don't keep putting the
poop sandwich out on on the field. What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Point taken? You made that point. Also, other folks. Rob's
argument made that point. I agree one hundred percent. I
think salary cap wise, they were a little bit strict.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Oh no, start with this, Sarah. I'm a salary cap truther.
I don't want to hear about the salary cap. You
make it work, You move some numbers around, you cook
the books. It's Enron and counting accounting. He's Bernie made
off accounting there in the NFL.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Okay, well, you know, I got sure. But Bernie did
bring a lot of people down with that with that Ponzi.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So is Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson's bringing an entire billion
dollar franchise their knees.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
He has been. But here's what I'm saying. You gotta
make the lemonade now out of the lemons that you have.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
No, no, no, no, no, You're done. If that's your plan,
You're done. Trevor Simeon. I stand with Trevor.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
All I gotta say is the Jets are in a
lot better situation than when we got going on here
in the Commonwealth. The defense is keeping them in these games.
But this is something that again back to the original
point that a lot of people have made. You could
have been like the forty nine ers, who, by the way,
I've also brought in Chase Young in terms of being
innovative during the season. Kyle Shanahan would not have it.
(23:55):
He knew that Trey Lance was questionable. He didn't just
rely on brock Purdy. He also gave himself that stainty
blanket and Sam Darnold just haven't done that. And look
at that.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
You made your.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Bed just like myself not being a good partici friend
of malin militia. Now I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Step it up.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, all right, all right, all right, go to bed now.
I thank you. I must move on though, Andre in
the Commonwealth, Double O Mexican in San Diego. He is
a real Raider fan, he says nine point one on
the top of the hour Mallond monologue. I wouldn't say
those wins get me excited, but it's way better than
mcdummy losing to Bagrints bears. But I agree the Raiders
(24:33):
that this stretch will reveal whether they or not a
playoff contender and whatnot. Mason in Huntington Beach says, Hey, man,
what's the weather like tonight in Sherman Oaks? Is it windy?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, we gotta play the autumn wind. The autumn wind
is a rater. So Mark, if you get a chance,
if you can find the autumn win. Now my version Mark,
because I sang the Autumn win. That's the Raider victory song.
So if you can find that in the system, let
us know by request for listener. Mason in hunting In
Beach Art of Sports talks as a plus. Men enjoyed
the various smoking references in the top of the hour
(25:07):
mal monologue. Let's see here page down. Super Marcus Steve says,
way to go NFL bookending a day of epic games
with that Turnburger in Germany and that crap sandwich in
in Vegas. The whole, the deal, the whole, the whole thing.
(25:28):
All right, let's get to the Let's get to the
sporting news of the day, and we will promise we
will also get at some point here as we shift
through the overnight problems in the cockpit, the all kinds
of speculation about DeVante Adams, what's going on with him
and the real Mama's boy. But right now, let's get
(25:49):
you caught up on everything going on in the overnight.
And here he is. The merman.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Eddie Garcia, a name was just mentioned. And one of
my things I like to do when I go to
sporting him, especially FOOTBA, because there's so many people there
is looking for unusual jerseys that people are wearing, right,
so there was plenty of. I saw a lot of
Barry Sanders today, arm On Rocks, Saint Brown. Someone was
wearing a Teddy Bridgewater jersey and I said, Teddy Bridgewater
(26:17):
played for the Lions. I don't even remember him playing,
but he's on the Lions right now. Apparently he's the
Badham quarterback for the I'm like, is that a family member?
Why would anybody buy that? Was it a freebie.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Anyway, got it like an address.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It was. It was kind of like a Helmet Man special.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You know, I thought I didn't see helmet man. I
did walk. I I circumvented the stadium. I did not
see helmet man. I looked for him, but I didn't see.
I saw a lot of people, hot, hot, hot, hard.
I saw all of those people everywhere. Those people they
were I'm good. I'm good. I don't need your bacon
(26:55):
wrapt dog, but they.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Do smell good.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ed Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
You know, Ben, some of us have a dream of
being paid a lot of money and not work. Yes,
And then there's jimbo Fisher. For college football, he was
fired as head coach at Texas A and M. He's
getting paid by the school seventy six million dollars to
not coach the Aggies. He's going to get nineteen point
two million within sixty days, and then seven point two
million annually through twenty thirty one. Even if he coaches
(27:27):
another team. He could get another job if he wants
and still get that money. Ends his tenure at A
and m forty five and twenty five over six seasons,
no appearances in the SEC title game. Elijah Robinson, your
interim coach of the Aggies of Texas A and M.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Is that where Irvin Meyer ends up Texas A and M.
Or does he go to USC to replace the departing
coach at USC? Who is going to the NFL quarry
mines would like to know, but Jimbo Fisher the number
I saw bouncing around that for the next eight years,
Jimbo Fisher every day will get twenty six thousand, three
hundred one dollars. If he gets up, doesn't get out
(28:03):
of bed, just stays in bed all day, orders Uber
Eats or whatever has has the food delivered, he's getting
paid twenty seven if he has If he has diarrhea
and he spends all day on the toilet and he's poping,
he gets twenty six thousand dollars. Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yeah, good for him.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You gotta retire, right If you're Jimbo, I keep coaching
that you've won. You've won, that's it. You're You're a
maid man. You can live, you can travel, do whatever
you want for twenty six thousand dollars A day, My god,
why would you man anyway, It is the Yes, it
is the Bennett Malor Show. As we continue on through
(28:44):
these overnight hours and problems in the cockpit. This was
not by design, I promise you, this was not by design.
But the NBC cameras caught Aaron Rodgers by mistake, vehemently
disagreeing with Nathaniel Hackett. If you're watching the Sunday night game,
you probably saw this on the sidelines, as Rogers had
(29:07):
the headset on and was monitoring what was going on
and did not approve of the coaching of his bff.
The only reason Nathaniel Hackett has a job in the
NFL right now is because of Aaron Rodgers. And the
Jets are an interesting spot because not only should Zach
Wilson be demoted, but Nathaniel Hackett should have his play
(29:30):
calling duties removed. But the Jets made such a big
hullabaloo when Nathaniel Hackett was called out by Sean Payton
in Denver that I'll bet you they will not remove
Nathaniel Hackett as the play caller because of that, in
part because that'll make them look like idiots, because they
(29:50):
hired this guy and then they're gonna take the play
calling away from him before the season even ends. Let's
go back to the phones. We'll say hello to Cowboy Dan.
I guess that I know what that means. Hello Cowboy Dan,
Cowboy ah Man. That was really in doubt there. I
didn't think they were gonna pull that one out. That's
a tough one, that's a that's a quality win. Lawrence
(30:13):
Taylor did not have a sack in that game. Phil
Simms no touchdowns, Tiki Barber didn't get in the end zone,
Amani Tumor didn't get in a tremendous job by the Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
And Dak touchdowns, and Cde Lamb is clearly the best
receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh is that right? Ceedee, Lamb's the greatest receiver in
the NFL. Right, what are you smoking?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
The better story is in the loser's locker room, right, Ben?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That is correct, Yes, the better story is in the
losing locker room. By the way, this portion of the

(31:01):
makes a question.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Should Brian Daball be fired?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh? Sure, fire him right now. Yes, I'm all for it.
Let him go back to Buffalo. That's what all the
bills fans want. Have you noticed we haven't had a
lot of bills fans call up recently. I don't know
where that is.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, I don't know, but you're consistent. I'll give you that.
Cowboy Dan, Hi Eddie. That's right, that's random. You just
said hi, hi Eddie. That's a random hello to Eddie.
It's unexpected. All right, Well, anything else? You just want
to call up to a little victory lap? Now you
even go lay down, go to bed.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
Yes, Oh, I might listen to the show for a
WHI don't see if there's any more Cowboy Dan references.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Oh you tune in just there? You got a big ego.
You just want to hear your name? Huh, All right,
I'll hang up on you. You're boring me, so thank
you all, go away, cowboy. So we mentioned problems in
the cockpit with Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett, how about
the chatter about the future of DeVante Adams. Devontae Adams
seems like he's having a great time to throw to
the ball a bunch. I believe he was targeted thirteen
(32:03):
times in this game, if I saw that number correctly.
But the chatter at the trade deadline, which was on Halloween,
the Carolina Panthers tried to woo the Raiders to get
Devonte Adams, but the Raiders were not playing ball. They
were busy firing Josh McDaniels, so they couldn't make any trades.
(32:23):
They were firing the GM and the coach right at
the deadline, so they the Panthers Carolina, I don't know
what they were going to trade. They don't have a
first round pick, so I guess they'd have to trade
what a second third round pick something like that to
get Devonte Adams. And there's a more chatter that the
Jets are going to try to steal and poach Devonte
(32:43):
Adams from the Raiders in the upcoming offseason, which will
be the Silly season in the NFL is in late
February and March. That's the main part of the Silly season.
Here's who am I Game? Here we go. Las Vegas
linebacker Robert Splane has three interceptions this season. I am
(33:06):
the last Raider linebacker to have three interceptions in the
season prior to him. Who am I? The answer? We'll
get to it. We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Here is the who am I Game? A blatant attempt
to get you to listen to a couple minutes longer.
It appears to have worked. Vegas linebacker Robertsplane now has
three interceptions picked off Zach Wilson in the Sunday Night
game late in the game. I am the last race
linebacker to have three interceptions in a season? Who am I?
That is the question? What is the answer? By the
(34:08):
way Mark and Minnesota says, damn it, kid, I just
realized the show was on. Can you start the show over? Yeah,
that's why we have the podcast and we'll rebroadcast the
show in the podcast form. They'll be coming up later.
Let's see who has the answer? Pop does it? Rats
going with Rod Martin as his answer. Slug in Vegas
going with Greg Beekert, Conrad Dobler, a great saint from
(34:29):
back in the day, Alf the Alien Opiner. Who else
do we have? Can't read that on the air, We'll
skip down here the birthday boy fer Dog that's his answer.
Smoking Joe Frazier from the Art of Sports Talk Just
Josh also went with Greg Beekert, very popular answer. Rory
(34:49):
is going with the Pokemon Man. Blake Martinez is his answer.
Spike Owen a red Sock and Mariner legend from mister
nice Guy. Who else we have? Paige Dan Paige Dan
future Chicago Bear, Marvin Harrison Junior guest by Yafimi can't
(35:11):
read that? My Weekend from Robbie the Mariner Fani. Well,
your weekend is not over yet, Robbie. You's still got
one more game on Monday night. Lawrence said maybe, but
I think he got it right. You got one of
the right answers. Snoop Menace from Bay City. Tony big
Lew says the Penny's older brother, Little Penny. But that
(35:31):
is the way to go. Rod and Martin from Matt
the Warrior Raider fan. Who else do we have? Cowboy
Dan is the guest by GM managed in Chicago. Boy,
I can't believe that many people came up with Greg Beaker. Eddie,
do you have an answer to the who am I game? Again?
Vegas linebacker Roberts Bulane now has three interceptions of the season.
(35:53):
I'm the last Raider linebacker prior to him to have
three interceptions in a season.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yes, it's former Super Bowl hero Jack Skwyrick.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
A fine answer, but that is incorrect, Daddy. Unfortunately, the
correct answer we would have accepted either Thomas Howard or
former Fox Sports radio personality Kirk Morrison. Back in twenty
oh seven, sixteen years ago. The last time a Raider
linebacker had three or one interceptions, Thomas Howard had six
that year, and Kirk Morrison, who used to work here,
(36:24):
had four. So I'm not saying the Raiders haven't had
great linebacker play in the last sixteen years. You can.
Anybody can go bad sixteen years without getting an interception.
I mean, that happens. It's part of the deal. Now,
this story over the weekend, My god, what a story.
So Tommy DeVito, the quarterback of the Giants starting quarterback
(36:49):
for now in the NFL. It was reported over the weekend.
He admitted to it. He lives with his parents in
northern New Jersey. Do you see this over the way
he lives with his parent His mom still makes his
bed and does his laundry. My god, I love it
because I'm Jewish. But Jewish and Italian mothers are very similarity.
That they they they worship their children, they spoil it.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
He's agreed to stay at home. Get you.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
My mom probably would have done the same thing. You're like, hey, y'all,
do your laundry. I went to my for years. I
went to my mom's house, did my launch. I did
my laundry, but I took the laundry down there. But
this guy's for now a starting quarterback in the NFL,
and he's living in his parents' house and he's, uh,
he's probably his mom's making him breakfast and packing like
a paper bag lunch. Why are you shaking your head? Yes,
(37:41):
black Marker, all right, sharpey, all right, Tommy, make sure
you complete some passes today and don't suck like you're
doing every other game. Come on, make the family proud, Tommy,
