Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one. But you
already knew that Ben Malor Show podcast. What's coming up
here in our one? Well, where are you on Aaron
Rogers playing again this season? There's a new development in
the Aaron Rodgers soap opera. Will he actually play in
a regular season game for the Jets in twenty twenty three?
(00:21):
We'll examine the new news of the day. Also in Pittsburgh,
did Steelers wide receiver Deontay Johnson's I'm human excuse for
being lazy work for you? And can you decode Eagles
center Jason Kelsey's message to the NFL world. We'll talk
about all of those stories and much more right now,
(00:42):
have a wonderful beginning to listening to this podcast. It's
our number one. Here it is one step closer. Welcome
in the beginning of another edition the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhere United as sometimes we
(01:05):
feel like a nut and sometimes we don't coast to coast,
border the border and beyond. On the mast and humongous
is massive, massive and powerful microphones of FSR. We are
emanating live from the Bark the Bark in the Park
as we broadcast a lot from the tyrack dot com studios.
(01:28):
Tyraq dot com well help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com The Way Tire Buying
Show be our headline this hour from Jersey Now. I
get an email every time we talk about the Jets.
(01:48):
Why are you talk about the Jets. You're not a
Jets fan and the Jets suck. And I really have
no counter argument to that. I'm not a Jets fan.
I don't give a rats asked about the Jets, but
they are good at making headlines, so my rebuttals. We
come in here and plausibly. The job is to talk
(02:10):
about what's going on in sports in that window of time,
and more often than not we talk about the same teams,
and the Jets are one of those teams, even though
they are terrible. There she blows, but they're doing it again.
So we have an injury update from mister Rogers neighborhood.
If you have not heard the latest, perhaps not, Aaron
(02:31):
Rodgers playing for a dog food Jets franchise has returned.
Rogers is back. Kind of Aaron Rodgers returning to the
practice field on hump Day on a limited basis, eleven
weeks exactly eleven weeks, because human beings love round numbers.
Eleven weeks, not eleven weeks in a day, not eleven
(02:54):
weeks in two days. Eleven weeks after snap crackle, pop
surgery on the Achilles goes the Achalles, and Rogers back
at level. He's say everybody, He's not all the way
back now. Robert sala the motivational speaker who occasionally pretends
to be an NFL head coach. Salas said, it is
too soon. It is too soon to say whether Rogers
(03:19):
will play again this season. And they Jets have a
twenty one day grace period, twenty one day period whether
or not they can decide what they want to do
with Rogers. So let us discuss the question, where are
you at on Aaron Rogers playing again for the Jets
(03:40):
here in twenty twenty three. So I am agnostic. I
am not a believer. I do not believe that Rogers
will play a regular season game this season. So I've
got physicians, note moscow and and magic potion, and we
(04:02):
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to make a migrain headache, which is what the
New York Jets fan base likely has thinking about all
of this nonsense. So a Rogers, we talked about this
in previous episode of the show. My position on Rogers
has not changed. That he has hell bent on going
(04:23):
out and playing. And the main reason he's help bent
on going out and playing is it's personal. It's become
a personal thing. It's Rogers wants to get back, and
he wants to. I'm gonna leave the door open a
bit that he's gonna play. I don't think he will
actually play, and there's reasons why that is. We'll get
to that in a second. But in terms of him
(04:45):
wanting to come back, it makes a lot of sense
because he come back from the Achilles. I don't know
if you know this. The Jets aren't winning the Lombardy.
Aaron Rodgers isn't gonna add a Lombardy to his resume.
Another one not gonna happen. So Rogers can add the hippocratus, right,
he can add a separate award here and the hippocratic
(05:08):
oath and all that. But the medical establishment, Aaron Rodgers
can can push back, push it back, right, you know,
the master plan. There are weak spots though. There are
weak spots here because Rogers still needs to get and
he has not been able to procure to procure a
physician's note. And that's a problem. That's that's a fly
(05:31):
in the ointment, that's a turd in the punch bowl,
because the Jets, in order for him to play, actually play,
he has to be cleared because the Jets don't want
that liability. They don't want the liability. Rogers goes out there,
and once you injure your achilles and you rehab the
normal amount of time, not that I'm a doctor to
(05:53):
play one on the radio, you typically are more prone
to having future Achilles injuries an offense, not even the one,
it's the other achilles that is more likely to go.
And so the Jets, you know, the way this goes.
It's like if Rogers doesn't get a doctor's note, he
goes out there and his leg gets bitten off by
(06:14):
a crocodile or an alligator or whatever. It bites his
leg off. He's like one of the guys that listens
to the show here and calls in Van the one
legged Bama Man, and they just like bite his leg
off and that's it, and and that right where the
Achilles is now, Rogers has been cleared for functional football activity.
If you know what that means, let me know, I
(06:35):
don't know what that means. No contact isn't contact. I
know in the NFL today, it's like the worstification of
the NFL. But isn't contact kind of the deal. So
he's like, yeah, he's clear to return functional football activity,
but just don't touch him. Just don't lay a hand
on him. The other problem, and this is the big one,
the Jets are actually running a sewage treatment facility. They're
(07:00):
running a sewage treatment facility, and Gang Green would likely
have to win the next couple of games. And listen,
this weekend is winnable. They play the Atlanta Falcons. The
Falcons stink. They could win that game. But the problem
is that they've got the facacta Tim Boyle who can't
play at quarterback. He sucks, And so the Jets aren't
(07:23):
making the playoffs, but at least to give the illusion
that they're a playoff contender, they'd have to win one
of the next couple of games otherwise they're not. And
then so Rogers, he still wants to play, would that
be allowed. At this point, you think that the Jets
just bowed down to whatever Rogers wants. Right, They're so
they're so desperate to get a good team. They think
(07:45):
this guy is their lord and savior and they can
put Rogers out there. Everything'll be great. Now we head
the Petsburgh, the Yinsers, the pets Burg Steelers. Now what
a story here? An absolute quitter, a guy that just
played gutlass football and he's still employed, which tells you
a lot. Deontay Johnson, he is a wide receiver for
(08:09):
the Pittsburgh football team. Just don't ask him to hustle.
You likely saw this, or if you're blind, you heard
about it. Deontay Johnson is in the crosshairers because he
walked away from a live fumble by a teammate in
the game on Sunday in Cincinnati, Jalen Warren bumbo. And
it's hilarious. It is so great that you see this
(08:32):
veteran NFL receiver who could not have possibly cared less
that there's a live football that you know, fifty to
fifty proposition. Hey doesn't give a rats ass, I don't care,
I don't give a damn. So he was asked about this,
and he said that he addressed the situation with his
teammates Deontay Johnson. He told the Pittsburgh media that they
(08:55):
know how I feel. It's all about feelings, and I
guess he didnt feel like hushing on that play, but
he said, I'll own up to it. I'm not perfect,
he said, And all I can do is move forward
and keep playing football. That's all I can worry about.
Except you weren't playing football when you had the chance
to play football. But I digress, all right, so did
(09:18):
Steelers wide receiver Deontay Johnson. And essentially what he used
was the I'm human excuse for being lazy. Does that
work for you? The Deontay Johnson excuse? Basically, I'm human.
So on this side, and you can speak for yourself,
but on this side of the microphone, the answers no, No.
(09:39):
That is the number one answer, the number one answer
on the apology Bengo card. You know the apology Bengo card.
Everyone's got one of these.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
When a celebrity does something and they have to apologize,
there's certain talking points that they all put in there.
Mistakes happen, etc. The fact that Tomlin did not demand
that Deontay Johnson's released. I mean, what are you doing, Mike?
Have you lost a little bit there? Mike Tomlin, what's
(10:10):
wrong with you? Right? This was not a mistake? No, no, no,
this is not a mistake. Is if you drop a pass,
not hustling is not a mistake. That is ingrained in you. Right,
And Deontay continuing to claim that he didn't realize the
playing question was still going That's what he claimed, which
(10:33):
would have worked if there have not been seven different
videos showing that it was obvious the play was going on.
And this actually makes it worse for him that he's
he's saying this anyway, Johnson on this one, Deontay Johnson
Steel is visiting Moscow. He's he's hanging out in Russia
at the ballet, the Bolshoy Ballet there in Russia, and
(10:57):
he's doing a pirouette, spinning around and all that. But
the maximum effort, right, the maximum effort. You can't win
every game, You're not gonna make every great play, but
as you as long as you show effort, right that
there's no athletic ability required for that. Zero athletic ability
is needed to put effort into anything, whether you're an
(11:17):
athlete or just your job at all. But it's not
like this guy's some kind of rookie. A lot of
the media attaching, Wow, that's a rookie mistake. No, He's
played over seventy games in the NFL, and I'm pretty
positive without watching every single play that he's played. This
is not the first time. It's not the first time
that he's done this. It's the most glaring for Deontay
(11:41):
Johnson lists, but it's not the first time that he's
not hustled. Shall we say? All right, last word here,
So we go now to an angry Kelsey. That's our
next headline. And Jason Kelsey the number one center, the
top center in all the NFL. There, Jason Kelsey is
few very angry. He popped up on a radio interview,
(12:06):
a sports radio interview in Philly, and he called out
the Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips for a bull
pucky bull pucky, as Jay Scoop would say in the Ukraine.
Play during the game between the Eagles and Bills this
past weekend, So what is this about? The play occurred
(12:28):
in the first quarter of the game and the Eagles
were running the iconic Tushy pushy. They were running the
tush and it was a fourth and one for the
Philadelphia Eagles, and Jordan Phillips decided he wanted to get
to that running back, get to that quarterback, and he
jumped through the line like he was the kool aid man,
(12:51):
just jumping through that line, encroaching the territory and he
ended up absolutely laying out Cam Jurgens, the right guard
for the Philadelphia football team. And it was like a
big pile up right in the backfield for Philadelphia, and
he just jumped through the line and it was obviously
(13:14):
encroachment and all that. Now, Kelsey's upset because there was
a penalty called, but Kelsey thinks they didn't go far enough.
Jason Kelsey thinks there should have been a worse penalty
that he tried intentionally to hurt the Bills player, tried
to hurt his teammate on the offensive line, Cam Cam Jurgens.
Kelsey said it should have been a personal foul. Okay,
(13:37):
So can you decode? Can you decode the message here?
Can you decode the message that Jason Kelsey is sending
to the NFL world. So I have thought about this
because I have a lot of free time and these
are the kind of things I think about. And my
determination from the comments made by Jason Kelsey about the
(14:00):
Bills defensive player that the tush push is the most
unstoppable play in the NFL. They they have the more
PC term the brotherly shot, but it's the toushbush. And
so with that, Jason Kelsey is sending a warning flare
to the rest of the NFL big shots there that
(14:22):
you need to protect the tush at all times. Protect
the toush push. That's really what this is about. I'll
tell you why. Because teams are scrambling trying to find
the magic potion. There's gotta be a way to stop
this play. No one's been able to consistently figure it out.
There's got to be a way to level the playing field,
and so you're going to try different things, throw Fedicini
(14:45):
Alfredo against the wall to see what sticks. And it's
only going to get more extreme as this continues. And
Kelsey he's got to be concerned at battering Rams situation.
He could be taken out the right guard, left guard
gets taken out, and then you're playing a bunch of
backups down the line in a playoff situation. It is

(19:25):
Whatever you need, whatever you need, Okay, thank you, Yeah,
keep talking, keep moving forward. Machine gun bribery. We'll get
to that coming up. And the number one fad of
the NFL season. Not a trend, not a trend, it's
a fad. We'll get to that later in the hour
as well. Let's go to the phones, and an old
(19:47):
friend has figured out the phone number calling in right now,
we say hello to our buddy deep in the heart
of Texas. Transgender Dave. Hello, transgender Dave.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
When Justin answered, the phony recognized my voice. I'm in
big time show business now. But I want to take
exception to a caller from England. You had a week
or so ago, he accused you of horn swoggling.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yes, that's a terry terry in England. Yes, but you.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Know, one second thought, maybe you are the high priest
of horn swaggling. That is a But I have a question,
a basic football question, Ben, Well, you've.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Come to the right place. When you think x'es and
o's meat and potatoes football, you think of overnight sports radio.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Absolutely, the Houston Texans lost their big game against Jacksonville
because their field goal kicker just sucks. So what I'm
wondering is is it within the rules for the Texans
to take on a walk on field goal kicker anytime
during the season.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yes, I think they already were working out kickers. I
don't know if they signed anybody, but yeah, you can bring
anybody in.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, all of you that are the least bit good
at taken field goals, send your resume to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah. I bet you could make like a twenty yard
field goal. I make a twenty yard Hell no, absolutely, absolutely,
put your money up. I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, I want to update you on my presidential camp.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh that's right now. Mark Cuban's claiming he's not going
to run for president, but he would admit it if
he was until later. So, Transgender Day, are you running
for the White House? Here?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
And all right?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Recruiting uh personnel, and occurs to.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Me, now what party are you part? Because that Doc
Mike runs for president every four years. He's part of
the Health Party.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I believe who is that?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Surely even know what that is?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, I just would say the Transgender Day Party, you know,
lack of a better name.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, okay, well that's quite the party.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But I need talent, so why not use some of
the malord militia. Okay, I need a secretariat, treasury, somebody
to come up with a lot of money on very
short notice. So who better than Angry Bill, because you know,
that's that's his background, as I understand it, I think
(22:25):
maybe he did a little time because of that, as
I recalled, Am I right about that? Well?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, he claims, Angry Bill that he got ding for
robbing a bank and that you went to jail for
a little bit for that. But yeah, but who hasn't
done that. You know, you have a bad day, you
need a extra cash, you go rob a bank. So
you know that's that's everyone's Wednesday, isn't it?
Speaker 9 (22:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
For him, it was anyway one thing that's been bothering me.
People talk about the lgbt Q, and they're leaving off
it's really the lgbt Q I A plus. So I'm
just asking all you people, where's the I and the
A in the plus? Who don't If you don't add
(23:11):
the I in the A in the plus, you should
have on your head in shame.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I always hang my head in shame, just in case.
But thank you. All right, there he goes or whatever.
Transgender Dave, thank you, fan fait transgender day. So machine
gun bribery, that's we're going to file this one under
the musician machine Gun Kelly. That's good DJ name also
(23:41):
machine Gun Kelly has come up with an offer. He's
a backer of the Cleveland Browns, machine Gun Kelly, and
he'd like the Browns to be good, and you know,
why not? What can we do to help the Browns
be good? And so he as offered in an offer,
(24:02):
I'm sure that will be accepted. He has offered Travis
Kelcey five hundred thousand dollars cash half a million dollar
donation to a high school. They're high school there in
Cleveland and also the same high school Machine Gun Kelly
(24:22):
went to. But he has to play for the Browns.
And I'm sure that Travis Kelsey will just void his
contract and go to Cleveland to get the five hundred
thousand dollars in cash. Seems like a good idea. Why
not just go for it? And I don't think that
would be enough, even if you're from Cleveland, five hundred
(24:42):
thousand dollars to play for the Browns. It's got to
be more than that, right, gotta be more than that anyway.

Speaker 8 (26:00):
I agree with that. But they got to learn how
to play rugby.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Rugby, yeah, that's what that's what the Eagles are doing.
Oh yeah, the touch push.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Yeah, well they've got an Australian guy in there, and
the other teams don't know how to push a scrum back?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Is that right? Is this you're bringing. Are you like
a rugby expert.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
No, I'm not rugby. I played rugby. I played American football.
And he's kind of obvious what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, no, I know that's what they do. But the
NFL allows them to do it. But how come the
other teams aren't good at it? The other teams have tried.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
They're got to defend this. So you've got to learn
how to push back on a scrum.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
They tell him, right now, tell them Ryan, what do
you do? What's the key here? I'm gonna this is
gonna be It's gonna be amazing. Pull out a second.
We'd like to learn all the affiliates right now, in
the middle of the night, Phil from Maine is about
to let the secret out to the world on how
to stop the tush push. Go ahead, Phil, You're gonna
(27:07):
have a hooker.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Then the first three guys in the line man one
on each side that called forwards, is a big guys,
and in the middle is the little guy who's called
the hookah and he hooks the ball back in a
rugby game.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
No, so this is actually I thought you wanted like
a prostitute, but you added this. This is a legitimate
rugby lingo that we're going.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Yeah, my nose is sideways from playing rucca?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Is that right now? You sound like you're a native
of Maine unless you're not.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
No, No, I was raised somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I know where were you raised.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
I'm curious, Manchester?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Is that right? How long you've been in the States?
Speaker 8 (27:55):
A long long time.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Really, but you've kept the lingo a kind of command,
you know.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Do the ladies like that? They get just whisper sweet,
nothing's in their ear and you're good.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
That's why they call me fill the drill?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
You know, man, what a stud? Tension advertisers, our listeners
are big studs like fill the drill? Absolutely, yeah. So
they need they need a hooker, and then then.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
The well, the hooker the hook I only put his
arm over one of the guys at the front, and
the army smacking the ship out of the guy.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
You can't. That's a I appreciate that description very anyway. Well,
thank you, I'll let you.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
That's not swearing.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well, I don't. I agree with you, but the people
that we work for disagree. That's the problem. See, I
agree with you. I say that word all the time,
but the people that run the company, and more importantly,
the people of this government oversight called the FCC. They don't.
I don't think anyone as anyone ever actually gotten in
trouble for that word. Though. I don't think anyone has
ever gotten in trouble for that word. I was sam
(29:05):
our engineer is very paranoid about everything, though, So just
shake my head side aside. Can you give me an
example of someone for that word.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
I don't think the guys that progressive would understand. You know,
they're happy with me, that's right, And where do you
policy with them?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That's right? Look, he supports our advertisers. And next time
you need next time you need tires, where are you
going to go? Where are you going when you need tires?
Come on, where are you going?
Speaker 8 (29:32):
I get him from second on shot down the road.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That's a bad answer, you know. That's a tire rock
dot com. How dare you all right? You got to
call her off? And Phil, I like you fill a drill?
I like it all right, buddy. Oh that's a legend
right there. Man. I don't know what part of Maine
he's in because, like you go up through Maine, it's
mostly moose. So I don't. He's got an accent. It's
(30:03):
like the Northeast. It's like that Atlantic accent mixed with England,
which is cool. Yeah, very unique. I could hear that
more of the Manchester at the end there. Yeah. So
the number one fad not trend in the NFL right
now is Tommy DeVito, the Italian stallion from New Jersey
(30:24):
who is playing quarterback for the Giants who play in
New Jersey and has become just a huge local celebrity
there because he plays for New York the Giants. It's
a big deal. So this week it was revealed that
Tommy DeVito's nickname is Tommy Cutlets. That his nickname is
Tommy Cutlets. Oh and he is the favorite son according
(30:48):
to the pundits there in Jersey. A y, what do
you think he eats when he's not eating the cutlets?
You think, ah meatballs in gabbaghol, I was looking for
the Gobba goold drop. I was setting up for the
Gobba gool Come onn Like Tommy DeVito three years from
(31:13):
now will like be an answer to a question like
a who am I game? Question? Right? There's like no
way this last He's not gonna even be in the
NFL in two years. There's an article about how he's
like this basic Jersey guy, you know. Yeah, he lives
with his mom and his mom does his laundry, and
he's he's gonna become the greatest Italian quarterback of all time,
(31:34):
you know. And who's on the big list there, Coop
on the Italian quarterback list all time? What do we
have on this, Vinny testa Verne, Yeah, that's it was
just this Garoppolo. Yeah. Yeah, he's kind of falling out
of favor. He's looked down upon the Italian American community. Why, Zach,
(31:58):
what do you think, Sam? Because he's not playing when
he's not hurt, he ain't bad great Italian. We're just
talking Italian. That could be a Jeopardy. It could be
a Jeopardy category Italian quarterbacks and that that would be
pretty good. Yeah. Anyway, all right, well we'll see what
happens with Tommy de Vito. But the Tommy cutlet's nickname?
(32:24):
Yeah yeah, all right, pressing on, we'll have the who
am My game? And we'll do that right now. Here's
the who am I Game? I was the last coach
before Bill Belichick this season, last coach before Belichick this
season that back to back games where my team failed
to score or allow more than ten points and ended
(32:47):
up losing both those games. Again, Bill Belichick and the
Pats just did it this season. But I was the
last coach before Belichick to have my team go out
and have back to back games where we failed to score,
will allow more than ten points and we end up
losing both of those games back to back. Who am I?
Which coach? Am I the answer? Next? Gama cool, Gabbao,

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I assume that's the greatest. I mean, it's obvious he's
from Italian immigrants, I believe. I don't think he's Australian. No,
probably not Jewish, So I'll go a time. Yeah, there
you go. Former Clipper coach Bill Fitch. Oh legend, that's
from John the Pie guy. May he rest in peace.
I love that guy. What a great guy he was
to meet Bill Fitch back in his day. All right, Eddie,
(37:17):
do you have an answer to the malar riddle of data?
Is not rod Rust guessed by our favorite bartender in
des Moines, Chris and des Moin.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
No, but that is a great name. I'm gonna go
with another good name. Former New York Giants head coach
Joe Judge.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Joe Judge, all right, is it Joe Jorge? No, it
is not Joe Judge. The correct answer is a former
Giants coach though, and also a former Patriot coach, Bill Parcells.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
Way back in nineteen ninety three coaching the Patriots, So
the last two times that scenarios happened, both Patriot coaches,
of course, generations apart, generations apart between nineteen ninety three
and twenty three.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
That's one generation, a little over one generation there, but
Bill Barcels back in the day. So that's why Belichick
did it. It was an homage. It was a tribute
to the Tuna, also a good nickname a guy named
after a tuna mascot. Right, the tuna answered the question twice,
that's right,
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one. But you
already knew that Ben Malor Show podcast. What's coming up
here in our one? Well, where are you on Aaron
Rogers playing again this season? There's a new development in
the Aaron Rodgers soap opera. Will he actually play in
a regular season game for the Jets in twenty twenty three?
(00:21):
We'll examine the new news of the day. Also in Pittsburgh,
did Steelers wide receiver Deontay Johnson's I'm human excuse for
being lazy work for you? And can you decode Eagles
center Jason Kelsey's message to the NFL world. We'll talk
about all of those stories and much more right now,
(00:42):
have a wonderful beginning to listening to this podcast. It's
our number one. Here it is one step closer. Welcome
in the beginning of another edition the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhere United as sometimes we
(01:05):
feel like a nut and sometimes we don't coast to coast,
border the border and beyond. On the mast and humongous
is massive, massive and powerful microphones of FSR. We are
emanating live from the Bark the Bark in the Park
as we broadcast a lot from the tyrack dot com studios.
(01:28):
Tyraq dot com well help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com The Way Tire Buying
Show be our headline this hour from Jersey Now. I
get an email every time we talk about the Jets.
(01:48):
Why are you talk about the Jets. You're not a
Jets fan and the Jets suck. And I really have
no counter argument to that. I'm not a Jets fan.
I don't give a rats asked about the Jets, but
they are good at making headlines, so my rebuttals. We
come in here and plausibly. The job is to talk
(02:10):
about what's going on in sports in that window of time,
and more often than not we talk about the same teams,
and the Jets are one of those teams, even though
they are terrible. There she blows, but they're doing it again.
So we have an injury update from mister Rogers neighborhood.
If you have not heard the latest, perhaps not, Aaron
(02:31):
Rodgers playing for a dog food Jets franchise has returned.
Rogers is back. Kind of Aaron Rodgers returning to the
practice field on hump Day on a limited basis, eleven
weeks exactly eleven weeks, because human beings love round numbers.
Eleven weeks, not eleven weeks in a day, not eleven
(02:54):
weeks in two days. Eleven weeks after snap crackle, pop
surgery on the Achilles goes the Achalles, and Rogers back
at level. He's say everybody, He's not all the way
back now. Robert sala the motivational speaker who occasionally pretends
to be an NFL head coach. Salas said, it is
too soon. It is too soon to say whether Rogers
(03:19):
will play again this season. And they Jets have a
twenty one day grace period, twenty one day period whether
or not they can decide what they want to do
with Rogers. So let us discuss the question, where are
you at on Aaron Rogers playing again for the Jets
(03:40):
here in twenty twenty three. So I am agnostic. I
am not a believer. I do not believe that Rogers
will play a regular season game this season. So I've
got physicians, note moscow and and magic potion, and we
(04:02):
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to make a migrain headache, which is what the
New York Jets fan base likely has thinking about all
of this nonsense. So a Rogers, we talked about this
in previous episode of the show. My position on Rogers
has not changed. That he has hell bent on going
(04:23):
out and playing. And the main reason he's help bent
on going out and playing is it's personal. It's become
a personal thing. It's Rogers wants to get back, and
he wants to. I'm gonna leave the door open a
bit that he's gonna play. I don't think he will
actually play, and there's reasons why that is. We'll get
to that in a second. But in terms of him
(04:45):
wanting to come back, it makes a lot of sense
because he come back from the Achilles. I don't know
if you know this. The Jets aren't winning the Lombardy.
Aaron Rodgers isn't gonna add a Lombardy to his resume.
Another one not gonna happen. So Rogers can add the hippocratus, right,
he can add a separate award here and the hippocratic
(05:08):
oath and all that. But the medical establishment, Aaron Rodgers
can can push back, push it back, right, you know,
the master plan. There are weak spots though. There are
weak spots here because Rogers still needs to get and
he has not been able to procure to procure a
physician's note. And that's a problem. That's that's a fly
(05:31):
in the ointment, that's a turd in the punch bowl,
because the Jets, in order for him to play, actually play,
he has to be cleared because the Jets don't want
that liability. They don't want the liability. Rogers goes out there,
and once you injure your achilles and you rehab the
normal amount of time, not that I'm a doctor to
(05:53):
play one on the radio, you typically are more prone
to having future Achilles injuries an offense, not even the one,
it's the other achilles that is more likely to go.
And so the Jets, you know, the way this goes.
It's like if Rogers doesn't get a doctor's note, he
goes out there and his leg gets bitten off by
(06:14):
a crocodile or an alligator or whatever. It bites his
leg off. He's like one of the guys that listens
to the show here and calls in Van the one
legged Bama Man, and they just like bite his leg
off and that's it, and and that right where the
Achilles is now, Rogers has been cleared for functional football activity.
If you know what that means, let me know, I
(06:35):
don't know what that means. No contact isn't contact. I
know in the NFL today, it's like the worstification of
the NFL. But isn't contact kind of the deal. So
he's like, yeah, he's clear to return functional football activity,
but just don't touch him. Just don't lay a hand
on him. The other problem, and this is the big one,
the Jets are actually running a sewage treatment facility. They're
(07:00):
running a sewage treatment facility, and Gang Green would likely
have to win the next couple of games. And listen,
this weekend is winnable. They play the Atlanta Falcons. The
Falcons stink. They could win that game. But the problem
is that they've got the facacta Tim Boyle who can't
play at quarterback. He sucks, And so the Jets aren't
(07:23):
making the playoffs, but at least to give the illusion
that they're a playoff contender, they'd have to win one
of the next couple of games otherwise they're not. And
then so Rogers, he still wants to play, would that
be allowed. At this point, you think that the Jets
just bowed down to whatever Rogers wants. Right, They're so
they're so desperate to get a good team. They think
(07:45):
this guy is their lord and savior and they can
put Rogers out there. Everything'll be great. Now we head
the Petsburgh, the Yinsers, the pets Burg Steelers. Now what
a story here? An absolute quitter, a guy that just
played gutlass football and he's still employed, which tells you
a lot. Deontay Johnson, he is a wide receiver for
(08:09):
the Pittsburgh football team. Just don't ask him to hustle.
You likely saw this, or if you're blind, you heard
about it. Deontay Johnson is in the crosshairers because he
walked away from a live fumble by a teammate in
the game on Sunday in Cincinnati, Jalen Warren bumbo. And
it's hilarious. It is so great that you see this
(08:32):
veteran NFL receiver who could not have possibly cared less
that there's a live football that you know, fifty to
fifty proposition. Hey doesn't give a rats ass, I don't care,
I don't give a damn. So he was asked about this,
and he said that he addressed the situation with his
teammates Deontay Johnson. He told the Pittsburgh media that they
(08:55):
know how I feel. It's all about feelings, and I
guess he didnt feel like hushing on that play, but
he said, I'll own up to it. I'm not perfect,
he said, And all I can do is move forward
and keep playing football. That's all I can worry about.
Except you weren't playing football when you had the chance
to play football. But I digress, all right, so did
(09:18):
Steelers wide receiver Deontay Johnson. And essentially what he used
was the I'm human excuse for being lazy. Does that
work for you? The Deontay Johnson excuse? Basically, I'm human.
So on this side, and you can speak for yourself,
but on this side of the microphone, the answers no, No.
(09:39):
That is the number one answer, the number one answer
on the apology Bengo card. You know the apology Bengo card.
Everyone's got one of these.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
When a celebrity does something and they have to apologize,
there's certain talking points that they all put in there.
Mistakes happen, etc. The fact that Tomlin did not demand
that Deontay Johnson's released. I mean, what are you doing, Mike?
Have you lost a little bit there? Mike Tomlin, what's
(10:10):
wrong with you? Right? This was not a mistake? No, no, no,
this is not a mistake. Is if you drop a pass,
not hustling is not a mistake. That is ingrained in you. Right,
And Deontay continuing to claim that he didn't realize the
playing question was still going That's what he claimed, which
(10:33):
would have worked if there have not been seven different
videos showing that it was obvious the play was going on.
And this actually makes it worse for him that he's
he's saying this anyway, Johnson on this one, Deontay Johnson
Steel is visiting Moscow. He's he's hanging out in Russia
at the ballet, the Bolshoy Ballet there in Russia, and
(10:57):
he's doing a pirouette, spinning around and all that. But
the maximum effort, right, the maximum effort. You can't win
every game, You're not gonna make every great play, but
as you as long as you show effort, right that
there's no athletic ability required for that. Zero athletic ability
is needed to put effort into anything, whether you're an
(11:17):
athlete or just your job at all. But it's not
like this guy's some kind of rookie. A lot of
the media attaching, Wow, that's a rookie mistake. No, He's
played over seventy games in the NFL, and I'm pretty
positive without watching every single play that he's played. This
is not the first time. It's not the first time
that he's done this. It's the most glaring for Deontay
(11:41):
Johnson lists, but it's not the first time that he's
not hustled. Shall we say? All right, last word here,
So we go now to an angry Kelsey. That's our
next headline. And Jason Kelsey the number one center, the
top center in all the NFL. There, Jason Kelsey is
few very angry. He popped up on a radio interview,
(12:06):
a sports radio interview in Philly, and he called out
the Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips for a bull
pucky bull pucky, as Jay Scoop would say in the Ukraine.
Play during the game between the Eagles and Bills this
past weekend, So what is this about? The play occurred
(12:28):
in the first quarter of the game and the Eagles
were running the iconic Tushy pushy. They were running the
tush and it was a fourth and one for the
Philadelphia Eagles, and Jordan Phillips decided he wanted to get
to that running back, get to that quarterback, and he
jumped through the line like he was the kool aid man,
(12:51):
just jumping through that line, encroaching the territory and he
ended up absolutely laying out Cam Jurgens, the right guard
for the Philadelphia football team. And it was like a
big pile up right in the backfield for Philadelphia, and
he just jumped through the line and it was obviously
(13:14):
encroachment and all that. Now, Kelsey's upset because there was
a penalty called, but Kelsey thinks they didn't go far enough.
Jason Kelsey thinks there should have been a worse penalty
that he tried intentionally to hurt the Bills player, tried
to hurt his teammate on the offensive line, Cam Cam Jurgens.
Kelsey said it should have been a personal foul. Okay,
(13:37):
So can you decode? Can you decode the message here?
Can you decode the message that Jason Kelsey is sending
to the NFL world. So I have thought about this
because I have a lot of free time and these
are the kind of things I think about. And my
determination from the comments made by Jason Kelsey about the
(14:00):
Bills defensive player that the tush push is the most
unstoppable play in the NFL. They they have the more
PC term the brotherly shot, but it's the toushbush. And
so with that, Jason Kelsey is sending a warning flare
to the rest of the NFL big shots there that
(14:22):
you need to protect the tush at all times. Protect
the toush push. That's really what this is about. I'll
tell you why. Because teams are scrambling trying to find
the magic potion. There's gotta be a way to stop
this play. No one's been able to consistently figure it out.
There's got to be a way to level the playing field,
and so you're going to try different things, throw Fedicini
(14:45):
Alfredo against the wall to see what sticks. And it's
only going to get more extreme as this continues. And
Kelsey he's got to be concerned at battering Rams situation.
He could be taken out the right guard, left guard
gets taken out, and then you're playing a bunch of
backups down the line in a playoff situation. It is

Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
When Justin answered, the phony recognized my voice. I'm in
big time show business now. But I want to take
exception to a caller from England. You had a week
or so ago, he accused you of horn swoggling.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yes, that's a terry terry in England. Yes, but you.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Know, one second thought, maybe you are the high priest
of horn swaggling. That is a But I have a question,
a basic football question, Ben, Well, you've.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Come to the right place. When you think x'es and
o's meat and potatoes football, you think of overnight sports radio.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Absolutely, the Houston Texans lost their big game against Jacksonville
because their field goal kicker just sucks. So what I'm
wondering is is it within the rules for the Texans
to take on a walk on field goal kicker anytime
during the season.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yes, I think they already were working out kickers. I
don't know if they signed anybody, but yeah, you can bring
anybody in.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, all of you that are the least bit good
at taken field goals, send your resume to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah. I bet you could make like a twenty yard
field goal. I make a twenty yard Hell no, absolutely, absolutely,
put your money up. I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, I want to update you on my presidential camp.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh that's right now. Mark Cuban's claiming he's not going
to run for president, but he would admit it if
he was until later. So, Transgender Day, are you running
for the White House? Here?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
And all right?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Recruiting uh personnel, and occurs to.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Me, now what party are you part? Because that Doc
Mike runs for president every four years. He's part of
the Health Party.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I believe who is that?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Surely even know what that is?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, I just would say the Transgender Day Party, you know,
lack of a better name.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, okay, well that's quite the party.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But I need talent, so why not use some of
the malord militia. Okay, I need a secretariat, treasury, somebody
to come up with a lot of money on very
short notice. So who better than Angry Bill, because you know,
that's that's his background, as I understand it, I think
(22:25):
maybe he did a little time because of that, as
I recalled, Am I right about that? Well?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, he claims, Angry Bill that he got ding for
robbing a bank and that you went to jail for
a little bit for that. But yeah, but who hasn't
done that. You know, you have a bad day, you
need a extra cash, you go rob a bank. So
you know that's that's everyone's Wednesday, isn't it?
Speaker 9 (22:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
For him, it was anyway one thing that's been bothering me.
People talk about the lgbt Q, and they're leaving off
it's really the lgbt Q I A plus. So I'm
just asking all you people, where's the I and the
A in the plus? Who don't If you don't add
(23:11):
the I in the A in the plus, you should
have on your head in shame.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I always hang my head in shame, just in case.
But thank you. All right, there he goes or whatever.
Transgender Dave, thank you, fan fait transgender day. So machine
gun bribery, that's we're going to file this one under
the musician machine Gun Kelly. That's good DJ name also
(23:41):
machine Gun Kelly has come up with an offer. He's
a backer of the Cleveland Browns, machine Gun Kelly, and
he'd like the Browns to be good, and you know,
why not? What can we do to help the Browns
be good? And so he as offered in an offer,
(24:02):
I'm sure that will be accepted. He has offered Travis
Kelcey five hundred thousand dollars cash half a million dollar
donation to a high school. They're high school there in
Cleveland and also the same high school Machine Gun Kelly
(24:22):
went to. But he has to play for the Browns.
And I'm sure that Travis Kelsey will just void his
contract and go to Cleveland to get the five hundred
thousand dollars in cash. Seems like a good idea. Why
not just go for it? And I don't think that
would be enough, even if you're from Cleveland, five hundred
(24:42):
thousand dollars to play for the Browns. It's got to
be more than that, right, gotta be more than that anyway.

in the Great State of Maine, and Phil is up
next year on Fox Sports Radio. Hello Phil, Phil. If
I was any better, I'd be a Zappi, but not
(25:56):
Bailey Zappy because he's now the quarterback for the Patriots.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
I agree with that. But they got to learn how
to play rugby.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Rugby, yeah, that's what that's what the Eagles are doing.
Oh yeah, the touch push.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Yeah, well they've got an Australian guy in there, and
the other teams don't know how to push a scrum back?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Is that right? Is this you're bringing. Are you like
a rugby expert.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
No, I'm not rugby. I played rugby. I played American football.
And he's kind of obvious what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, no, I know that's what they do. But the
NFL allows them to do it. But how come the
other teams aren't good at it? The other teams have tried.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
They're got to defend this. So you've got to learn
how to push back on a scrum.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
They tell him, right now, tell them Ryan, what do
you do? What's the key here? I'm gonna this is
gonna be It's gonna be amazing. Pull out a second.
We'd like to learn all the affiliates right now, in
the middle of the night, Phil from Maine is about
to let the secret out to the world on how
to stop the tush push. Go ahead, Phil, You're gonna
(27:07):
have a hooker.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Then the first three guys in the line man one
on each side that called forwards, is a big guys,
and in the middle is the little guy who's called
the hookah and he hooks the ball back in a
rugby game.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
No, so this is actually I thought you wanted like
a prostitute, but you added this. This is a legitimate
rugby lingo that we're going.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Yeah, my nose is sideways from playing rucca?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Is that right now? You sound like you're a native
of Maine unless you're not.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
No, No, I was raised somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I know where were you raised.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
I'm curious, Manchester?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Is that right? How long you've been in the States?
Speaker 8 (27:55):
A long long time.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Really, but you've kept the lingo a kind of command,
you know.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Do the ladies like that? They get just whisper sweet,
nothing's in their ear and you're good.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
That's why they call me fill the drill?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
You know, man, what a stud? Tension advertisers, our listeners
are big studs like fill the drill? Absolutely, yeah. So
they need they need a hooker, and then then.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
The well, the hooker the hook I only put his
arm over one of the guys at the front, and
the army smacking the ship out of the guy.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
You can't. That's a I appreciate that description very anyway. Well,
thank you, I'll let you.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
That's not swearing.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well, I don't. I agree with you, but the people
that we work for disagree. That's the problem. See, I
agree with you. I say that word all the time,
but the people that run the company, and more importantly,
the people of this government oversight called the FCC. They don't.
I don't think anyone as anyone ever actually gotten in
trouble for that word. Though. I don't think anyone has
ever gotten in trouble for that word. I was sam
(29:05):
our engineer is very paranoid about everything, though, So just
shake my head side aside. Can you give me an
example of someone for that word.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
I don't think the guys that progressive would understand. You know,
they're happy with me, that's right, And where do you
policy with them?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That's right? Look, he supports our advertisers. And next time
you need next time you need tires, where are you
going to go? Where are you going when you need tires?
Come on, where are you going?
Speaker 8 (29:32):
I get him from second on shot down the road.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That's a bad answer, you know. That's a tire rock
dot com. How dare you all right? You got to
call her off? And Phil, I like you fill a drill?
I like it all right, buddy. Oh that's a legend
right there. Man. I don't know what part of Maine
he's in because, like you go up through Maine, it's
mostly moose. So I don't. He's got an accent. It's
(30:03):
like the Northeast. It's like that Atlantic accent mixed with England,
which is cool. Yeah, very unique. I could hear that
more of the Manchester at the end there. Yeah. So
the number one fad not trend in the NFL right
now is Tommy DeVito, the Italian stallion from New Jersey
(30:24):
who is playing quarterback for the Giants who play in
New Jersey and has become just a huge local celebrity
there because he plays for New York the Giants. It's
a big deal. So this week it was revealed that
Tommy DeVito's nickname is Tommy Cutlets. That his nickname is
Tommy Cutlets. Oh and he is the favorite son according
(30:48):
to the pundits there in Jersey. A y, what do
you think he eats when he's not eating the cutlets?
You think, ah meatballs in gabbaghol, I was looking for
the Gobba goold drop. I was setting up for the
Gobba gool Come onn Like Tommy DeVito three years from
(31:13):
now will like be an answer to a question like
a who am I game? Question? Right? There's like no
way this last He's not gonna even be in the
NFL in two years. There's an article about how he's
like this basic Jersey guy, you know. Yeah, he lives
with his mom and his mom does his laundry, and
he's he's gonna become the greatest Italian quarterback of all time,
(31:34):
you know. And who's on the big list there, Coop
on the Italian quarterback list all time? What do we
have on this, Vinny testa Verne, Yeah, that's it was
just this Garoppolo. Yeah. Yeah, he's kind of falling out
of favor. He's looked down upon the Italian American community. Why, Zach,
(31:58):
what do you think, Sam? Because he's not playing when
he's not hurt, he ain't bad great Italian. We're just
talking Italian. That could be a Jeopardy. It could be
a Jeopardy category Italian quarterbacks and that that would be
pretty good. Yeah. Anyway, all right, well we'll see what
happens with Tommy de Vito. But the Tommy cutlet's nickname?
(32:24):
Yeah yeah, all right, pressing on, we'll have the who
am My game? And we'll do that right now. Here's

before Bill Belichick this season, last coach before Belichick this
season that back to back games where my team failed

Pats just did it this season. But I was the
last coach before Belichick to have my team go out

from Italian immigrants, I believe. I don't think he's Australian. No,
probably not Jewish, So I'll go a time. Yeah, there
you go. Former Clipper coach Bill Fitch. Oh legend, that's

Is not rod Rust guessed by our favorite bartender in
des Moines, Chris and des Moin.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
No, but that is a great name. I'm gonna go
with another good name. Former New York Giants head coach
Joe Judge.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Joe Judge, all right, is it Joe Jorge? No, it
is not Joe Judge. The correct answer is a former
Giants coach though, and also a former Patriot coach, Bill Parcells.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
Way back in nineteen ninety three coaching the Patriots, So
the last two times that scenarios happened, both Patriot coaches,
of course, generations apart, generations apart between nineteen ninety three
and twenty three.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
That's one generation, a little over one generation there, but
Bill Barcels back in the day. So that's why Belichick
did it. It was an homage. It was a tribute
to the Tuna, also a good nickname a guy named
after a tuna mascot. Right, the tuna answered the question twice,
that's right,
