Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, hour four and
for being a dumpster fire, the content has been wonderful
out of New England. If the Patriots were to dump him,
Bill Belichick, according to a report, is a lock to

(00:21):
get another head coaching gig somewhere else in the NFL
in twenty twenty four. Is this yes, no? Or maybe so? Also,
what is your position on Bryce Young in his response
to Frank Reich's firing as coach of the Carolina football team?
And is there a hidden message from Jerry Jones' comments

(00:42):
lamenting the Eagles being lucky? We'll go there as well
on the final hour of the final show of November
here in twenty twenty three, as we say bye bye
to November, but here it is our number four. Have
a wonderful, wonderful Thursday.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about, it all for
an NFL legend. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
side by side as we do audio acrobatics. We do

(01:24):
coast to coast, border the voter and beyond on the
mast and stupendously powerful microphones of fs are amnating live
from the Twister as we twist words. We are broadcasting
live from the tyrack dot Com studio tyraq dot com.
We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,

(01:45):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Ty rackt dot com The Way tire Buying shuret be
headline this hour from the Coaching Keras you mentioned in
a previous episode of the show that the expectation is

(02:05):
heads are going to row around the NFL and possibly
ten coaches. I have as many as thirteen on my
big board, thirteen that could get whacked. See you later,
but the lead from the coaching carousel. Things are about
to get real messy, real messy. The winds of change
are blowing. The autumn wind is not a raider, it's

(02:26):
a coach being fired. We now have two coaches that
have been poll axed from their jobs. The Raiders said
bye bye to Josh mcdummy and the Carolina football team
said bye bye to Frank Reich. You're not right they
got rid of him. So, but what about Bill Belichick?
What's going on with Belichick in particular. Turns out that

(02:50):
even if he is let go by the Patriots. It
appears that he will have a nice soft landing, nice
soft landing if he gets the pink slip. Now, if
you didn't see that, and possibly not, we are told
that Belichick has been assured, according to this chatter, assured
of getting a head coaching job somewhere parts unknown in

(03:13):
the boondocks of the NFL. But Belichick will have one
of these jobs at Bert Breer from SI telling us
that Bill Belichick and Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, not
the steroid runner from years ago, but Ben Johnson, the
offensive coordinator for the Detroit football team garantate guaranteed to
be head coaches in twenty twenty four. So for the

(03:36):
purposes of this Mallard monologue, at least the beginning of
this Mallard monologue, we will focus in on the curmudgeon
of coaches, Bill Belichick. So the question if the Patriots
do indeed do the unimaginable, the unthinkable and fire Bill
Belichick said, get out of here, You're done, get rid of

(03:57):
Bill Belichick, is a lock that Belichick ends up getting
a head coaching job in twenty twenty four. So is
it a lock, yes, no, or maybe so? So I'm
in the Yes camp on this. I'm on team Yes.
I'd buy the story. I've got Buckingham Palace, Master Class

(04:19):
and General Mills, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a brand
new yacht. I know Bill likes to spent a lot
of time on those boats, so we'll get them a
new yacht. So to kick off the courage, we are
in the Yes camp. Bill Belichick has picked up a
lot of shrapnel because of the decline of the Patriots,

(04:41):
and he get him some barbecue. Here's a lot of
a lot of crow that he's having to eat, and
it is deserved. I'm not gonna sit here behind these
microphones and say that Belichick has not earned the criticism.
New England has been the epitome of a dumpster, the smell,
the stench, dumpster behind a Chinese restaurant that is in

(05:07):
the summer, it's humid and very hot, yeah, really hot,
and like the food's just rotting and the smell and
the stench, and then there's raccoons in there and they're pooping.
That's the Patriots. That's the Patriots of twenty twenty three. Nevertheless,
when you take a couple of steps back and you

(05:28):
look at the full body of work Bill Belichick in
NFL circles. Bill Belichick is still living at Buckingham Palace.
He's royalty in NFL coaching circles. And the reality of
the situation is that the people that run the teams
in terms of the ownership class, that decide who their
coaches are, they're the ones that will do whatever they

(05:52):
have to hire Belichick, right, he's royalty. You want to
hire a royal, and you can hire a royal coaching
legend who's on a crusade past Don shu Lebay as
the all time wins coach. Good luck on that. I'm
not looking so good right now. I thought it was
a lock. But the way that things have gone lately
in the age game, Belichick is the godfather of the

(06:15):
coaching fraternity. He knows a thing or two. He's been around.
He's been to a few of these barbecues where coaches
get absolutely charboiled. He's been around. But more importantly, he's
got confidence. Belichick has confidants all over the league, and
the people that are the titans of industry, the robber barons,

(06:36):
they're the ones that he has to appeal the nerds
aren't gonna like Belichick because Belichick does things his own
way and he wants to be in control of everything.
So nobody in the football ops department of any team's
gonna be like, we got to hire Belichick unless they're
a Belichick disciple, because Belichick gets all the attention, all
the credit, good, bad or ugly. All right, moving on
from that, we head to Carolina. This is the third

(07:00):
partial Malard monologue on the situation in Carolina. Panthers quarterback
Bryce Young has chimed an he's spoken out about Frank
Reich being fired for the first time. I know you're
dying to hear with the former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young
had to say, and you've come to the right place. So,
when asked if his former coach let the offense down,

(07:24):
Young admitted that it wasn't just Frank Reich's fault that
the Panthers have the worst record in the NFL. Well,
let's give you the full quote. Here is the number
one pick of the NFL draft this past year, the
savior of Carolina football, Bryce Young on the coaching change.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Right, did you feel like a personal sense of maybe
failures not the right word, but responsibility that these two
man you respected so much did get fired because the
results weren't there on the field.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Who we all do?

Speaker 4 (07:57):
You know? We all feel like you know again, you
never want to see you never want to see people
who's your job. You never want to see people fight.
Who we wanted to of course come in, especially this
being a new team. You want to come in and
conquer things together and accomplish our goals together. And we
all take responsibility in that not being the case. So
that that's all of our mindsets.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
All right, So very good. So there's there's Bryce Young.
So listen, Bryce Young, you heard the sound, But what
is your position on that response that you just heard
of Bryce Young on the Frank Reich firing. It was
a very direct question, do you feel responsibility? He didn't
say no, but he did pass the buck a little bit. Now,
he passed the buck a little bit instead of saying me,

(08:37):
he said we. But it's really a me issue.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
If Bryce Young was good at his job, then Frank
Reich would still be coaching the team. Now you could
argue Frank Reich, if he was good at his job,
Bryce Young would be good. But that's you know, go
back and forth on that. But this response by Bryce
Young was carefully choreographed. It's like a Broadway musical here.
You had the leaping, the lurching, the shimmying, all of that.

(09:02):
It's gonna win a Tony Award if they had such
a thing for a NFL quarterback in the Carolina area.
But Bryce Young is not only a quarterback he stinks.
He has been like a seventh or seventh round draftick
or undrafted free agent. He's played like that. Tommy Cutlets
with the New York team has been better for the Giants.

(09:24):
I mean, Tommy Cutlets has been better than Bryce Young.
And you know the game he had against Washington, and
he's won more games Tommy DeVito than Bryce Young. Although
you say they didn't play well against the Patriots, and
he did not. But this was a master class by
Bryce Young. This response about Frank Craig a master class

(09:45):
in the mini philibuster. The mini philibuster, and your lips
are moving, but you're not saying anything at all. You're
giving a word salad is what you're doing. And you
gotta be a political mister. Neutral blah blah blah blah, blah,
and he was all those, all those things. But that's

(10:07):
not mistake the fact that the reason Frank Reich is
not coaching in the NFL anymore, not that anyone's upset
by that, other than maybe his family, is that CJ.
Stroud is good and Bryce Young is bad. Now that
doesn't mean it's going to be that way forever, but
right now, that is the way it is. And we
live in the moment. And so that's the moment that
we're in right now, all right, party shot headline. We

(10:29):
go to Dallas where during his weekly paid radio appearance,
Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones openly wondered aloud when Lady Luck
would swing the other direction for the Eagles. They are
ten in one. The Eagles the greatest close you know,

(10:49):
the greatest team in close games in the NFL this season.
And again here is Jerry Jones. Let's go to the
audio tape. Here's Jerry Jones commenting about how fortunate the
Philadelphia football team has been.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
What have I done to deserve this? I can't that ball?
Why can't that ball bounce the right way? The rail
of those things goes through your mind, but it just
reminds me of all of the ways that you are involved,
and many many perspectives of the NFL and the impact

(11:27):
of games, and of course you think that you've got
to have this team, You've got to win this game.
If you've got the opportunity, Can.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
We get him a cough drop or something? I like,
he's cough up along? All right? So the money quote
was right at the beginning. What have I done to
deserve this? Why can't the ball bounce the right way, which,
of course is the Jerry Jones way, the cowboy way.
So the question on this is there a hidden message?

(12:01):
Is there a hidden message from Jerry Jones' comments about
the Eagles being lucky? And the answer is absolutely yes.
And being someone that parses the words of people in
sports for a living, this one's rather obvious.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Rather, I don't need me to tell you, and I
think most of us know that listen to these sound
bites that Jerry Jones is playing the victim card from
the bottom of the decks. Oh what was me? We've
got this great cowboy team that beats up a bunch
of tomato cans, and that stupid Philadelphia Eagle team the
bane of my existence, and they keep winning these games,

(12:39):
but we have better numbers. Look at our point differential
than compared to Philadelphia and all that, and it is true.
Listen to the Cowboys. If you go by point differential,
the Cowboys are way ahead of Philadelphia. Way. But the
other thing here right now is Jerry playing the victim
about Eagle so lucky, right, He's also belittle. When you

(13:01):
say someone is lucky, you're belittling their success. You're saying, well, yeah,
they're winning, but but the balls bounce their way. You're
also in this. I think the most interesting part of
this Jerry Jones the bigger message. He's taking a shot
at Dak Prescott and he doesn't even realize it. That

(13:24):
sound bite seemed pretty benign, But that was a shot
at Dak Prescott because what is the difference. You can
call it luck and call something else, but what is
the difference between the Eagles and the Cowboy? Was the
main difference? The point of demarcation. The point of demarcation
is that when the Eagles are behind Dak Prescott, he

(13:45):
paints an oil or Jalen Hurts. Rather, when the Heels
are behind, Jalen Hurts paints an oil painting and Dak Prescott.
It's like a finger painting, all right. And just to
back that up, if you look at the numbers, like
Jalen Hurts plays well in the popcorn popper, like the
popcorns popping and poppop pop just like that in the popper,

(14:08):
and then Jalen Hurts, nice big piece of popcorn. Dak
Prescott on the other side is the colonel that didn't pop.
That's Dak Prescott. And if you look at the numbers
side by side and you do the taste test, here
you've got this season. When Dallas has been trailing, they've
been trailed that often. But when Dallas has trailed this season,

(14:29):
Dak Prescott. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has four touchdown passes,
four interceptions, and a passer rating of eighty point six
when Dallas is behind. When Philadelphia is behind this season,
Jalen Hurts has eight touchdown passes, no interceptions, and a
passer rating of one hundred.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
And twenty one.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Advantage Jalen Hurts, check mate, right, Jalen Hurts. Now, according
to Jerry Jones, he's like the General Mills mascot, Lucky
the Leprechaun. There's a famous quote that was attributed to
Thomas Jefferson, who likely never said it. But once people
credit you with a quote, it just keep keeps getting
repeated over and over again. But his comment or whoever

(15:16):
said it, was that the great belief of luck is this,
that luck is wonderful. But I find the harder that
I work, the more I have of it. And so yeah,
Jalen Hurts has been great in close games and pressure
situations where Dak Prescott has not. It is the Ben

Speaker 1 (17:33):
There you go. Ho ho ho ho ho ho. Eugene
in Chicago writes, and he says, hey, bet, if Bill
Belichick wants to keep his job in New England, he
definitely has to give up his general manager duties. I'm
sure he'll be willing to be demoted and have some
hot shot analytical nerd tell him who he's going to

(17:55):
coach that what could possibly go wrong with that? Ryan
writes in from He says, a plus plus on the
Mountain Monologue. But regarding Bill Belichick, I said Ben Bolan
was on the JAB yesterday and said the Panthers are
the spot for Bill because the owner will give him
everything and has the money to buy Bill everything at

(18:17):
a drop of the hat. Now I know Belichick was
born in Nashville, So does he like Southern food? Would
he eat like the greats in North Carolina and all that?
I think good barbecue, although I like Kansas City barbecue
more than North Carolina barbecue. That's an unpopular opinion the Sun.
But that is my position on the Great Barbecue Wars

(18:38):
with the wink at a nod to Texas barbecue, which
is also often mentioned in that Speaking of Belichick in
his future, is it true one of his former players
who happened to win an MVP award has dropped a
scoop which actually follows up to what our friend in
Maine just said. And Cam Newton. Cam Newton is also

(18:59):
on the Tobacco Road Ben Wagon, long time Carolina Panthers
quarterback is greatest moment and the worst moment of his
career in Carolina. Greatest moment MVP season That same season
at the end against the Broncos, there was a fumble
and he acted like a Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver, although
he actually showed more effort Cam Newton Deontay Johnson there

(19:22):
the Steelers. He didn't even move. Cam at least made
a movement towards the ball and then ran away from
the ball like it was a live hand grenade. But
Cam Newton tossing out the evens that Belichick's gonna go
to Carolina Digital Space monkey right since says taco was
the only flavor of Doriedo's that I tried, and then

He was drowning and there was no lifeguard on duty,

puts a little potshot there. Yeah, all right, I'm getting
a lot of people talking about movie passes, like I
don't think we talked about that earlier, But I don't

(22:32):
know that that's really the content with that we're looking
for right now.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
How about Geno Smith. The last seventeen games, Geno Smith
has played in twenty two touchdown passes, fourteen interceptions, six fumbles,
and a passer rating of eighty seven. He's morphed into
the guy we knew he was. He's morphed into the
guy that played for the Jets earliest career was Tarror.
He's back to being that guy that's old, reliable, that's

(23:04):
your daddy's Geno Smith right there stinks is the Ben
Mallard Show. Now, I'm not an Olympic guy. I don't
have the Olympic Jean not excited about the Olympics, but
I guess some people are. I don't think it's really
been a great sports talk radio event, the Olympics. There's
things on the outskirts out in the suburbs that we

(23:24):
talk about regarding the Olympics, but most of the sports
people that listen to sports right, I don't give a
crap about. But the International Olympic Committee announcing this week
that the Winter Games will be returning to the United States,
but you're gonna have to wait till twenty thirty four,
so eleven years from now. Really we're almost into twenty

(23:46):
twenty four, so it's basically ten years the Winter Olympics
will beginning now. Last time Salt Lake City got the Olympics, weren't.
Weren't there like bribes paid out to everybody? So are they?
Are they bribing s every Olympics? So how much are
they gonna pay for this one? And who in Utah?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Millians?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Is this the Mormon Church? Who's buying the Olympics for Utah?
Do we know? We don't know. We have no idea.
Now the Olympics, the Summer Olympics are coming to la
When is that? Is it two years from now or
three years from now?

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I believe it is so. I think it's four years
from twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh, twenty twenty eight, Yeah, okay, that would be four
years from twenty twenty four. Yeah, so four years all right? Now.
I know there used to be guys we worked with
that would double dip when the Olympics would be going on.
They make extra money on the side. Yeah you're gonna
be doing I don't know if those jobs still exist.
You think those jobs, those double dip jobs still exist
where you can make a little extra money. I think
with the Internet it's probably.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
I wouldn't be shocked if you know, like Finley's doing
like volleyball or something like that.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
I don't know who they is. He Hey, really okay, Hey,
but twenty twenty thirty four Winter Olympics twenty twenty eight,
according to Eddie, the Summer.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Olympics, so hopefully we'll still be.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
I have bills to pay, so I'm not planning on
going anywhere, but you never know. Anyway, It's hockey season somewhere, Eddie.
So why don't we get you caught up on hockey.
What a great scandal we had in hockey this week?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
All right?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Do let's go now to the man the Mermaid right
over there, Eddie Garcio, the big Zamboni. It is all
that hockey that is fit to broadcast.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
Yes, it's another week of a puck, the world reports,
and we're about twenty games more or less into the
NHL season. The New York Rangers currently leading the NHL
with thirty three points. The defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas
Golden Knights one point behind the Rangers for the most
points in the league. They are leading the Western Conference.
Other teams off to good starts include the Bruins, Canucks, Avalanche, Kings, Stars,

(25:44):
and Panthers. Some teams that are surprisingly having a rough
time so far, and these teams will all be out
of the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
If the season that of today, which it doesn't.

Speaker 8 (25:53):
That include the Devils, Penguins, Kraken, Oilers, and wild All
those teams minus Pittsburgh did make theoups last year.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
The Penguins just missed out. On the last day of
the season.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
You mentioned the Chicago Blackhawks terminating the contract a veteran
forward in former league MVP Corey Perry due to what was.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Called the workplace violation.

Speaker 8 (26:11):
There was social media rumors about Perry having some sort
of sexual relationship.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
With the mother of rookie Connor Badard.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
The number one overall and the one in the rookie.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Score in the league.

Speaker 8 (26:21):
The Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson addressed those rumors, saying that
Perry's incident did not involve any players or their family members.
Of course, not that because it's probably the truth. Suggestion otherwise,
he said, was inaccurate in discussing.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Now, your defense at is that since they got caught,
they wouldn't lie again.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Right, That's definitely part of it. Yes, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
The Astros got caught cheating and they cheated again, So
wouldn't that kind of blow your No, No, it wouldn't
the same thing it's you think perfect like North Korea
or Russia.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
You believe that they believe what.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
You're talking, and you believe that everything's a lie, which
is not everything, but yeah, pretty much pretty much. I've
lived in life and I've seen people lie to my
face and people work in sports, but you believe everything.

Speaker 2 (27:06):

ESPN reporting that Perry had an incident with a team employee,
not to the mother of a place. And if Blackhawks
the man wants to believe anything, that's lation.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I don't know it was sure or not, but I
wouldn't believe what team. I wouldn't believe the team.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (27:30):
Three times Stanley Cup champion Patrick Kayne Sin's a one year,

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Also though on.

Speaker 8 (28:20):
Thursday, I'll return the All Star player draft after nearly
a decade.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
They were the first league to do that.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
The NBA then copy them later for All Star captains
and a celebrity captain who will be part of the
drafting of the teams.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
For the Let me Yes, Snoop Dog.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
It's certally possible. Yeah, certainly possible. It's wonderful.

Speaker 8 (28:42):
I finally, Wild goaltender Marc Andre Fleury wore a custom
designed mask for Native American Heritage Night the other night
against the Avalanche, which defied an NHL's rule on players
and teams doing wearing special things on their uniforms in
the warm up, they got a Remember they got away
with the jerseys because the Pride. Some of the players

(29:04):
didn't want to wear the private so the AHL said
that you can't wear anything.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
You know.

Speaker 8 (29:09):
That kind of brings attention to one of these one
of these issues. Florrie said that the rule was stupid, uh,
and that he was wearing the mask don Or. His
wife apparently is a member of the Tribe tribe in Canada.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I actually told that to a cop once. Yeah, I
pulled over speeding, I said, I said that lost super Well,
remember we got a ticket.

Speaker 8 (29:26):
Remember earlier this year the player for Arizona War the
Pride tape the Rainbow tape on his stack.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Of course I keep track of all these. I mentioned it,
and the NHL didn't do anything.

Speaker 8 (29:37):
And uh, they they are not doing anything to mark
Andre Fleury for for violating the rule. Uh so basically
they're they're not doing anything for players.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Want to do what they want where whatever you want
a stupid I don't think it's a stupid rule. It's
a good rule because it brought bad attention to the NHL.
People go for the hockey. They don't go for your
little agendas and what your whatever your cause is. They're
there for the hockey.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
If the team is having a Native American knight and
the guy's wife.

Speaker 8 (30:05):
Is a Native American, Okay, him wearing a mask is
like some sort of crime.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
That's not a crime. It's just bad for the bad
for business that.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I don't think anyone cares. Any wore that.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Of course you would take the NHL position.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
You know, are you offended that he wore that mask?
Are you offended and he wore that mask?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I'm very offended. Of course, you're very bothered by of course.
But the problem is, here's let me explain how this
works him. So if you let him do that, which
they did, and let's say, you know, somebody wants to
bring up something I don't know, to support.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Uh terror, Yes, that's a great example.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Okay, but you know how many times maybe they have family,
maybe they have family, they're terrorists, right, they support terrorists
and they want to that's a good example. Okay, So
it's never happened, but you protected, you don't allow that
to happen.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's that's not ridiculous extreme at all.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
The reason the NHL put that in they had a problem.
You don't realize it because whatever the NHL. You think
the Edgitell's perfect. You don't think they make.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
It a mistake. That's true.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
The bad right here. I don't think they did. I
don't think now you're sucking the NHL. I think they
made the right thing. And they're being soft like you, Eddie,
and they're backing down because they're cowards. It's bad job.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
If you're absurd, got you pugged the world work.
