Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number four, our four ready to go, and
we start with the gambling odds. Are you surprised by
forty nine er quarterback Brock Purty being listed as the
NVP favorite after the events in week thirteen? Also, what
is your viewpoint on Zach Wilson supposedly being skittish with
(00:26):
returning as the Jets starting quarterback? And how likely or
unlikely are the NFL owners to work on improving officiating
as it continues to circle the drain. And we'll talk
about all that and more. Have a wonderful Tuesday here.
It is our number four. It is just a little
(00:47):
brock talk. Welcome, in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere,
working together as we follow the inverted pyramid coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and outspokenly powerful
(01:10):
microphones of fsre emminating live from the puzzle as we
put the puzzle pieces together. We are broadcasting live from
the Tiraq dot Com studios tyraq dot com. Well help
you I get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers
(01:32):
tyraq dot com. The Way Tire Buying Show be in
our headline this hour. From the book. What's in the book? No,
I don't mean the kind of book you actually read.
Why would I talk about that. I'm doing sports radio.
I'm talking instead about the sports book.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes, the sportsbook. Now, the NFL weekend has come to
an end. Week thirteen is now over. We saw the
Cincinnati Bengals get to win over the Jacksonville football team
with their backup quarterback Jake Browning have a game, having
a game for the Ages, calling it the greatest performance
(02:14):
ever by an undrafted quarterback, Jake Browning, Well, a guy
that was drafted with the very last pick.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Brock Perty getting some attention.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Now if you didn't see this and hear about it,
the forty nine er bandwagon is filling up.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It is filling up.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The tires might need to be pumped up a little
bit more on that forty nine or bandwagon. So we
are told now that San Francisco quarterback brock Perty, the
greatest system quarterback around. Brock Perty has become the betting
favorite to win the Most Valuable Player of the Year Award,
(02:51):
say it ain't so Batman Now, much to the excitement
of a certain forty nine er apologies that listened to
the show, A brock Perty is listed at a plus
three hundred on DraftKings Sportsbook, ahead of Dak Prescott and
Jalen Hurts, who are plus three point fifty. So in
(03:12):
this snapshot in time, mister irrelevant brock Purty is on
track the betting favorite anyway to be the Most Valuable
Player of the Year. So let us discuss the question
are you surprised? Are you surprised that brock Party is
now listed as the MVP favorite at the sportsbook? So
(03:37):
I've got hand warmers, carolines, and Golden Goose, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a guffaw, which is what the Jacksonville
fans had when they watched Trevor Lawrence limping off the
field and up the runway there as he was injured
(03:59):
injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of the game
on Monday night. Probably should have led with that. But
first of all, in terms of the MVP market, which
gets updated on a weekly basis, and I get email
from the different sports books proudly announcing that here are
the update at odds, and Joe Blow is now the favorite,
(04:19):
and he has passed Jane Doe as the favorite to
be the MVP. But the fact that this is not
our first rodeo. Here we have seen how this works
over the years. We know how they make the hot dogs.
And so brock Purty and the forty nine Ers are
the toast of the NFL. They're the talk of the town.
They absolutely clobbered Blue to Smith Rings. The birds now,
(04:41):
I just torm apart. They thumped the eagles in their
own nest. And so when you have a game like that,
it gets all the attention and the outcome goes the
way it did, and the forty nine Ers look invincible.
There is a reaction to that from the gambling market.
Brock Purty went out there and he pitched a Mona Lisa.
He painted the Mona Lisa was wonderful. But you factor
(05:05):
all of that stuff, all of that stuff, it's like
making a stew You put all that stuff in the
ball there. And brock Purty also factor in that no
one's head and shoulders in front. There's nobody that's clearly
the MVP. Front runner this season, So all of that
makes sense. The bookmakers are prisoners of the moment because
(05:29):
they know a flaw in humanity, and it's the human condition.
We're all wired the same way, and when we like
our sports teams, we react in a similar way. And
they are attempting to cash in on an emotional donation
because you're a Niner fan and you're kind of all
(05:49):
horny because brock Perty's playing well and the team's looking good,
and you're like, this is our year. The Niners haven't
won a Super Bowl since what nineteen ninety four, and
this is going to be the it all comes together
and all that stuff. So you make an emotional donation,
meaning the forty nine er fan a smitten kitten. They
love the We call it the handwarmers, or another way
(06:12):
to describe it would be the hot hand fallacy. We
see us a lot, we see us a lot in sports.
I've been fighting this for many, many years. But the
hot hand fallacy, which is a form of the gamblers fallacy,
is where they in this case we'll use it for
the gambling lexicon, but those that wager on sports, oftentimes
(06:33):
you will predict that something the outcome of something will
continue the way it's gone, meaning, for example, not speaking
the King's English year.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But brock Purdy played.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Really really well. It's played really really well the last
couple of games. So that's just going to continue to
the end of time. And the forty nine ers are
now just kicking ass and there's no reason to think
that we'll ever stop that. It's that positive recency bias, right,
the hot hand syndrome. So they see it in basketball,
somebody hits a bunch of shots and a reality, Well,
(07:06):
there's a thing. There's a thing called momentum. Whether there's
actually nothing such as momentum in sports. We know that's
not true. Smart people know that. Dumb people think there is,
So there's no such thing as momentum. But people bet
on momentum. People bet on momentum, and so the house
makes money on momentum. They love that you're stupid and
(07:26):
think there's momentum, and you will bet on Rock Party
having another four touchdown masterpiece game upcoming, and you'll bet
your money and then he will have.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
A more more moderate performance.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You see what I'm saying there, And listen, Rock Party
was an absolute blowtorch against the Philadelphia Football team.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
He was great, He was absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
But that doesn't mean he's going to be great every game,
and it doesn't mean that he's not a system quarterback.
And the world is very unpredictable, and things in sports
happens suddenly and often unpredictably, like Jake Browning going out
and lighting up Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence getting hurt. Those
are things when you handicap a game, You spent all
(08:10):
week for a stupid TV show handicapping a game, and
then that happens.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yah, good luck all right.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Secondly, headline from Jersey and that is where the Jets
parked their planes.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Robert Salad, we talked about this earlier. I want to
circle back to this.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Robert Sala attempted to put the toothpaste back in the tube,
trying to put the kebash on a rumor that Zach
Wilson was a malcontent. He had gone a wall, say
what was unwilling to step in as the starter again
for the Jets. Now, Robert Sala got up at the
(08:49):
dais and attempted to calm the waters. He said, let
me be clear, if we were reluctant to play or.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
He were reluctant to play.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
He wouldn't be here. Robert Salas scolding the media. He said,
the young man wants the ball, he wants us start.
Robert Salas diad, he went on and on. So that
was just part of his rebuttal the Jets coach.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
There to a report that.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Was buried behind a paywall on the Athletic that's owned
by the New York Times, the Old Gray Lady, that
said that Zach Wilson was originally believed to be reluctant
to return as the Jets starting quarterback, concerned about the
state of the franchise, his health, etc.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Etc. Etc.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So what is your viewpoint on both the response of
Robert Sala and the initial report that Zach Wilson was
skittish about returning to play quarterback for the Jets. So
I believe the initial reporting. And I watched Robert Sala
get up there in Hammon Hall at the the Dais.
(10:00):
I watched that, and the thought I had was this
guy's lying. That's the thought I know. I know he
tried to cover it up, and he knows like Tony
Robbins Junior, a mister motivational speaker guy and all that
but Robert Sala watching him dance around with the tap
dance routine that he was doing here. It's like going
to Caroline's Comedy Club in New York back in the
(10:23):
day and Robert Sala there doing a little improv right,
the improv there? Why not Tim Boyle stinks? We knew
that before he played. Trevor Simeon is not the guy.
They don't want to play him, and so you go
back to Zach Wilson. Not that he's any good, but
it's like there's a certain talk show us back in
(10:44):
the old days, sports radio guy. They always put the
worst people on to fill in for him, because he
knew that those people would make him look good. And
so the Jets found a way to make Zach Wilson
look good. Play Tim Boyle and play Trevor Simeon all right.
Final thought headline from Park Avenue. More fallout from the
blown calls in Sunday Night football as consas City. They
(11:11):
benefited from an egregious roughing penalty against Patrick Mahomes, where
actually it was against a defensive player for the Packers,
as Mahomes was not out of bounds, but there was
the pass interference call. The phantom call that was not
made on Marquez Valtez scantling, and that was the one
that had people completely up in arms. So the fallout
(11:36):
from that is bouncing around the echo chamber.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Here's the latest.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
At least one unnamed NFL head coach, one unnamed NFL
head coach wants the owners to step in. This comes
from the always paranoid Mike Florio, who claims it is
like a humble brag that he's friends with an NFL
head coach and an NFL head coach text him during
the game that it's time for owners to act on officiating. Okay,
(12:06):
question quickly, how likely or unlikely are the NFL owners
to actually work on improving the quality of the officiating,
and so the answer is extremely unlikely, extremely unlikely. We've
been through this conversation before, we will have this conversation
(12:27):
until the end of time, and my position has not changed.
I'm very stubborn, I'm bullheaded on this, and it doesn't
impact the bottom line. That's why they're not going to
make any changes. To make changes would be to mean
spending more money. The NFL has money handover fist, but
they don't want to spend it. And so the owners
(12:48):
people get all upset and the owners, some of them
get upsets, some of them owners are annoyed by this,
but it doesn't affect the golden goose. And as long
as the golden goose is still laying eggs, we're all
good here. We're all good here. And are there penalties
that are called that shouldn't be called? Sure, are there
penalties that should be called that aren't called. Yes, but
(13:08):
by the letter of the law, by the letter of
the law, there are multiple penalties on every single play.
It is a subjective situation. That's always the get out
of jail free card for the NFL and the NFL owners.
It's always what they go back to. It's subjective, and
so what's a penalty to one person is not a
penalty to another person. And that's how they play it.
(13:28):

(15:09):
dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's Ben Maler Well, I'm a bonus MLB minute coming up.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
The Winter meetings are going on. I gotta take advantage
of this.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
There's all kinds of gossip and dirt coming out of
Nashville where the baseball teams are getting together and complaining
about this, that and the other thing, trying to make trades.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We'll get to that. Also.

the top of the hour Mallard monologue. Let's see here,
(15:47):
Lady Sideburns says, I have a strict get up, off
the toilet and wipe at the first station break policy.
Sometimes it's just not enough time, Ben, I need you
to start waiting until half past the hour before you
go to commercial. Well, we never go to commercial. We
do live reads, but we never go to commercial.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We don't do that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
We're really just filler around the commercials. The most important
part is the advertisers. Late Night Drug Tester right Since says,
I disagree. If the gambling partners that have signed mega
million dollar deals with the NFL said, hey, we are
paying out too many unders, let's start calling past interference
to help add more scoring at the end of games,
(16:32):
then the rules will change, says the Late Night Drug Test.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Going with the gambling.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
World conspiracy, the deep state gambling world conspiracy. But is
it an issue of the officials being bad at their
jobs or are they following the instructions? That's up for debate.
Super Market Steve right Since says, do you think the
fact that you are getting emails with hourly updates on
(16:59):
betting lines as a sign that you might have a
problem no, it is a sign that I have a
dumb radio show and a stupid TV show that involves
gambling and they want promotion.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's what that is.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
You should see the emails that I get from PR
people pitching different authors for me to interview on my podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Who wrote some book that no one read?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And hey, would you like to interview you know, so
and so they wrote a book. You know nobody, nobody
bought the book, but they you can get them on
your podcast. I'm like, I think I'm good. I think
I'm all right. I'd rather just read Wikipedia pages, random
Ricky Wikipedia pages than do that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I think I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Robbie the Mariner fan isn't hiding right now after he
forgot Richard Sherman's name.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Very very embarrassing, very embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Andy the comic book guy, who's devastated the Miami Dolphins
of the number one seed in the American Football Conference says, yes,
twenty oh two was the last time the Mind Dolphins
with the number one seed in the NFL. However, it
has still been since the nineteen ninety nine season, since
their last postseason win, points out Andy the comic book Guy.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He points that out.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let's call the phones and we'll say hello boy. I
thought this guy's gonna call yesterday after the Browns game,
but he didn't call in. Let's say hello to Dick
in Dayton. Hello, Dexter, Happy, Hoday Happy.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I waved to you, Dick. I was at the Rams game.
Did you see me waving at you?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, yeah good.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
I just wanted to say that I'd like the way,
you know, Flacco was pretty good, but the just couldn't stop.
They couldn't stop the La offense. You know, yea they Dismembley,
I think with a couple of the mouth But I
am shocked. Then, I am shocked.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What are you shocked about? Let me help you out
what he shocked about?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Dick?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Bengals bring that quarterback in?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I know, Oh my goodness, gosh, Jake Browning, brow Jake
Browning great?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
How many did he get? Three hundred and thirty eight yards?
Wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
He was? He was amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He had a touchdown pass, a touchdown run. The Bengals
had four hundred and ninety one yards of offense. Three
hundred and fifty four yards for your guy.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Jake Browning and Hickins came back He looked pretty good too,
didn't he. I thought he was running pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
He is all right.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
J Jamar Chase was the guy though. He was the
guy was catching all the glasses and he was.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I really think from dy yow the I picked the
maybe if the defense, but I think they can pull
this off. I think they might be able to win
by a couple of points, maybe.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
At the Bengals of the Browns, which was Brown the
brown So you think the Browns going into week fourteen,
you're feeling relatively confident the Browns can take care of
Jacksonville with their.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Likely their backup quarterback.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
We don't know for sure, but it seems like it's
likely Trevor Lawrence is not gonna be able to play
next week.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Short week and all that.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
So well, you know down here, but they've been on
all the all of the Columbus stations and uh but
I'm kind of happy for I thought they would get
either the Cotton or the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
The Buck guys, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Yeah, they want Yeah, It's just nobody could believe that.
You know. I said to myself that maybe they could
pull an upset, but they I even I loved Joe
Buck and tory y aikman. They talked kindly at the
Bengals last night.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You know, yeah, you enjoyed that. You're watching the game.
Look at you, you're watching the watching the TV now

The Ben Malor Show is reporting that Georgia is going
to win the final four of Colors.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
One else is speaking of that.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Bold take that, Paul fine bomb, all right.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
How about one note from Major League Baseball, The Philly
is announcing a contract extension for manager Rob Thomas.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
He is, now, I like you said that with a
question mark at the end of view.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It almost said Rob Thompson. But it's not Thompson. It's
Thomas or Thompson. Is it Thompson.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I think he's pronounced Thomas Thompson. That's how I pronounced it.
Maybe I don't know, probably me.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
He's now under contract through twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So there, all right, Well, more on the MLB Minute
coming up momentarily. Also, I see Al Michaels and Kirk
kurb Street, Well they don't have to worry about saying
nice things about Bill Belichick. Belichick, it's going to the
CBS broadcast over the weekend, admitted he doesn't watch Thursday
Night NFL, and he gave the most Dick and Dayton
(24:47):
answer imaginable. He told the CBS broadcast team during the
terrible Patriot Charger again, but Spirodidas and Adam Archiletta shared
the tidbit. They said they were chatting with Belichick and
all that, and they asked him about uh, Thursday night football,
and they learned that he's not a streaming guy. He
(25:12):
was asked if he watched the Thursday night football game.
Belichick responded, what's that? That streaming thing? Nah, I don't
do that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
What do you say?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But how is it possible not to do that? Get
so much content is on streaming services.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I think he's lying. I think I don't buy that.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I think he's full of it because he didn't want
My theory is he just doesn't want to answer questions
about a game like I say, because the followup would
be what did you think of the game?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And so instead of saying what do you think of
the game, he's I didn't watch it? So I agree, Yeah,
that's it. That's my my answer on that.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So I don't think he's quite as much of the
curmudgeon as he wants to.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I can't believe.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I've for people that know more than I that say
that he's he's it's all in. It's like he's who's
that guy from Saturday Night Live Andy Kaufman, Like he's
got this persona that he has to keep up and
but behind the scenes when he knows he's not being recorded,
he's he's different, and that's how a lot of people
are not to that extreme. But we have the mini
(26:08):
MLB minute. Let's say hello to j Bone. Who oh,
he's not actually didn't want to be, but he wants
to be part of site the bite he called up early.
All right, here's the MLB minute. So do you have
any music? Get me in the mood here of marketing
baseball theme.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
There we go. All right, so the MLB Minute.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The Winter Meetings are going on right now in Nashville, Tennessee,
and at this hour several baseball scribes are hammered at
the bar at the opry Land Hotel. No but one Soto.
He's the big name that's supposed to be traded this week.
So far nothing, we're told. There are five teams, five
teams that are hot and heavy to try to get
(26:45):
one Soto. Former Padre soon to be former Padrey played
with the Washington Nationals. The Yankees are getting the most attention,
but they're not alone.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
They're not alone. Several other teams have one Soto.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Some of them have him as the fallback option if
they don't get Shohei Otani and O'tani and the rumor
on the last twenty four hour news cycle is that
he's progressing with the Toronto Blue Jays. But there's other
reports saying that he's gonna go back to the Angels.
One says the Atlanta Braves, one says the Dodgers. Nobody
(27:19):
knows anything. Nobody knows anything about Atani. Nothing. Cody Bellinger,
who was a total turd with the Dodgers the last
couple of years and they went to the Cubs and
played well, opted out of his contract and he is
asking for.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
The Moon to play for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We've got that cheating astro, aj Hinch, who's currently managing
the Detroit baseball team. But I guess they have no
integrity in the Motor City because they gave aj Hinch
a contract extension. But I don't remember the Tigers winning
many games. I don't know, Maybe I'm missing something. There
must be a different dimension. And it worked for the Angels,
(28:02):
it worked for the Angels. They've crunched the numbers. The Angels,
remember they dumped all those players, just got rid of
all the contracts. He just waved a bunch of players
to get out of the contracts. The Angels did end
up avoiding having to pay the luxury tax because they
sold off all those players gave them away.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
But here's the funny thing.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
So Baseball had the opportunity at the Winter Meetings here
to put a rule in to prevent teams in the
future from dumping salary like the Angels. The owners said no,
they didn't put the rule in, So that means going forward, we.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Could see a rerun, a.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Recreation of what the Angels did when they just started
dumping players in August. But Baseball could have put a
rule in and they chose not. Remember, the Angels made
the trade well the White Sox with Lucas Giolito, and
then they ended up repackaging him. We ended up with
Cleveland after he left the games.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
For once, it worked out.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
Normally, the Angels do something like this and all those
guys go on to like kill it and win you
know NLCS or ALCS MVP for their new teams. But
all these guys sucked well after they left the team also, so.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
They were bad.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And remember though initially the funniest part about that, initially
the Angels still were over the threshold. They had to
get rid of somebody else at the last minute to
go under the threshoal like they had gotten rid of
Giolito and a couple of other players. But yeah, but
they were still they were not in the sweet spot,
so they had to then get rid of another player
to get under the under the number. Anyway, all right,

Speaker 1 (32:08):
You are my caller number one, Mario, and you.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Want to be on my game because I know who
it is?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, who is it.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Is?
Speaker 6 (32:16):
That?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Jason Kidd? That's so good job by you. Yeah. Well,
he's got kind of a distinctive voice.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I'm sorry, I want to play a game that I
was gonna be on your team.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Oh all right, all right, well I know you won.
I mean I want another shot. You won the game.
I mean, what is another shot? That's it? We had
one sound bite that was it? Okay, Yeah, I thought it.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Was a short enough clip that maybe it wasn't gonna
be No.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
But he's got a very distinctive delivery and we've heard
him for what twenty five years?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
And that's how I'm gonna sell Eddie Eddie you gotta
be more negative. People like negativity.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
All right, that's right, positive, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
We got enough of that with Ben Mario.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
You're the customer, is always right. And Mario wants negativity,
right Mario.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Yes, sir, especially for hang up on him.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
That'll be very negative.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He wants me to hang up on you, all right?
Are you go?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
There you go? That was negative, very negative right there.
It's kind of people like, that's negative, though, are you
he wants negative? He got what he wanted. Goodbye?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Are you upset Eddie?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That the championship game of the Playing Tournament is on Saturday?
I think it's the same night of the the Malard
Ugly Sweater party.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Is it going to be on your TV at the party?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
God?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
No, what do I care?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I will not be on there at all.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
It will be good.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Some old Christmas music movies or some holiday stuff will
be on there, I would imagine. But that's about it. Yeah,
that's about it.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Uh anyway. Uh So it was Jason Kidd and Coop.
You wrote all those clues, but when nobody ever heard
the clue, so we didn't.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
We didn't need him.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
I didn't think it was that easy, but I guess so.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, the pretty easy. The big story though from Monday Night,
Trevor Lawrence. Let's do a little round robin on how
bad Trevor lawrence ankle is now the initial reports which
are almost always wrong. It's like when there's a big
disaster or something and people say, you know this is
They're never almost never right. So I'm gonna say Trevor
(34:22):
Lawrence is out. I'm gonna go four weeks, two to
four weeks, but I'm gonna take the over. I'm gonna
go four weeks.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Eddie, were doing a round robin.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How many weeks we got left the regular season?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Well, it's week We're heading into week fourteen, so they
go to eighteen. So you can do the math on that.
Because it got week he's out for the rest of
the regular season. So which is I say he could
come back in week eighteen, But why would you do
that because then the playoffs would start.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Jackson a bit wild.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Definitely looked worse than Kenny Pickett and Pickets out two
to four weeks.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So you're not upset Pickets out because he stinks, No,
I am because tubisky he is a pile of crap.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, but so's can you pick. At least he's younger,
so it's younger.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You cannot get better. He's can only get worse. I
don't know, but that is awful. I'm not even watching
a Thursday a game.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Hey, Joe Flacco went out and played al right the
other day, so it is conceivable.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Every every dog has his day, Eddie. Can't he pick it?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Could play well and you're playing the Patriots now. I
know the Patriots have a good defense supposedly allegedly on
that Thursday night game. But you gotta think that the
Steelers will win.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
That you can't lose.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
You have no confidence.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Hot take, Eddie, Hot take.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
If the Steelers lose back to back to the Cardinals
and Patriots, you have to fire Mike tom Chan You
have to do You agree with me, Coopan want to
fire Tomlin? If you lose to the Cardinals and Patriots
in the year twenty twenty three, you have to get
rid of Tomlin. And I love Tomlin. Tomlin's great. How
about Tomlin to coach the Chargers, Eddie? How about that?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Well, I'm sure my wife would be thrilled with that.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
She'd be happy with that, right, Yeah, But I wouldn't
be Why would you no chance he gets because it.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Less of my One of my guys in Pittsburgh's been
sending me back.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
I'm telling me he was my guys. He's a big
medium mode.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I don't know that he wants me to say his name,
but he he says, well, listen, he said Tomlin should
be cooked.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Is what he's been saying years.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Still prepared mailing it in. How about that?
Speaker 9 (36:28):
The fact that Trubisky is playing out and Pickett got
hurt saves his job, even if it was ever on
the line.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Which it was.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Oh, at some point he's going to be removed as
coach of the Steelers. At some point, he's not going
to be there when he retires.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I don't know about that. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Last night, he said, they said the same thing about
what Oh god, uh Matt Cannon right, they'd never gotten
rid of a coordinator during the season, didn't they do that?
Speaker 1 (36:52):
They whacked him, They had him take a long.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Walk up his water back. Well, never mind, never mind
even brought that up.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Well, you shall have to pay off your other bets.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
You haven't paid off your other bets, you weasel. And oh,
I don't want to kiss your ass. That wasn't one
of the bets. But Mark, if you want to kiss
his ask, go ahead, Mark, No, thank you, I'm driving.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
You're driving.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
Could the Jaguars lose out the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Oh, you're looking for the Broncos to get in.
Speaker 9 (37:19):
No, I can't tell you how often I'm on that
playoff machine where you plug in the different results see
what happens.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
No, Well, Baltimore plays, they play the or the Jags
play the Browns, Ravens, Bucks, Panthers, and Titans. The Ravens
are the one that they should lose, out right, they
can beat the Browns are None of these teams have quarterback.
The Bucks, Browns, Panthers, and Titans. None of them have quarterbacks.
So they're actually even Jacksonvills actually even go you know
(37:46):
those matchups because they both have suck bags at quarterback.
And that's my for Mario and Michigan. That's my positive
thought of the day. Suck bags at quarterback.
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number four, our four ready to go, and
we start with the gambling odds. Are you surprised by
forty nine er quarterback Brock Purty being listed as the
NVP favorite after the events in week thirteen? Also, what
is your viewpoint on Zach Wilson supposedly being skittish with
(00:26):
returning as the Jets starting quarterback? And how likely or
unlikely are the NFL owners to work on improving officiating
as it continues to circle the drain. And we'll talk
about all that and more. Have a wonderful Tuesday here.
It is our number four. It is just a little
(00:47):
brock talk. Welcome, in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere,
working together as we follow the inverted pyramid coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and outspokenly powerful
(01:10):
microphones of fsre emminating live from the puzzle as we
put the puzzle pieces together. We are broadcasting live from
the Tiraq dot Com studios tyraq dot com. Well help
you I get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers
(01:32):
tyraq dot com. The Way Tire Buying Show be in
our headline this hour. From the book. What's in the book? No,
I don't mean the kind of book you actually read.
Why would I talk about that. I'm doing sports radio.
I'm talking instead about the sports book.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes, the sportsbook. Now, the NFL weekend has come to
an end. Week thirteen is now over. We saw the
Cincinnati Bengals get to win over the Jacksonville football team
with their backup quarterback Jake Browning have a game, having
a game for the Ages, calling it the greatest performance
(02:14):
ever by an undrafted quarterback, Jake Browning, Well, a guy
that was drafted with the very last pick.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Brock Perty getting some attention.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Now if you didn't see this and hear about it,
the forty nine er bandwagon is filling up.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It is filling up.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The tires might need to be pumped up a little
bit more on that forty nine or bandwagon. So we
are told now that San Francisco quarterback brock Perty, the
greatest system quarterback around. Brock Perty has become the betting
favorite to win the Most Valuable Player of the Year Award,
(02:51):
say it ain't so Batman Now, much to the excitement
of a certain forty nine er apologies that listened to
the show, A brock Perty is listed at a plus
three hundred on DraftKings Sportsbook, ahead of Dak Prescott and
Jalen Hurts, who are plus three point fifty. So in
(03:12):
this snapshot in time, mister irrelevant brock Purty is on
track the betting favorite anyway to be the Most Valuable
Player of the Year. So let us discuss the question
are you surprised? Are you surprised that brock Party is
now listed as the MVP favorite at the sportsbook? So
(03:37):
I've got hand warmers, carolines, and Golden Goose, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a guffaw, which is what the Jacksonville
fans had when they watched Trevor Lawrence limping off the
field and up the runway there as he was injured
(03:59):
injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of the game
on Monday night. Probably should have led with that. But
first of all, in terms of the MVP market, which
gets updated on a weekly basis, and I get email
from the different sports books proudly announcing that here are
the update at odds, and Joe Blow is now the favorite,
(04:19):
and he has passed Jane Doe as the favorite to
be the MVP. But the fact that this is not
our first rodeo. Here we have seen how this works
over the years. We know how they make the hot dogs.
And so brock Purty and the forty nine Ers are
the toast of the NFL. They're the talk of the town.
They absolutely clobbered Blue to Smith Rings. The birds now,
(04:41):
I just torm apart. They thumped the eagles in their
own nest. And so when you have a game like that,
it gets all the attention and the outcome goes the
way it did, and the forty nine Ers look invincible.
There is a reaction to that from the gambling market.
Brock Purty went out there and he pitched a Mona Lisa.
He painted the Mona Lisa was wonderful. But you factor
(05:05):
all of that stuff, all of that stuff, it's like
making a stew You put all that stuff in the
ball there. And brock Purty also factor in that no
one's head and shoulders in front. There's nobody that's clearly
the MVP. Front runner this season, So all of that
makes sense. The bookmakers are prisoners of the moment because
(05:29):
they know a flaw in humanity, and it's the human condition.
We're all wired the same way, and when we like
our sports teams, we react in a similar way. And
they are attempting to cash in on an emotional donation
because you're a Niner fan and you're kind of all
(05:49):
horny because brock Perty's playing well and the team's looking good,
and you're like, this is our year. The Niners haven't
won a Super Bowl since what nineteen ninety four, and
this is going to be the it all comes together
and all that stuff. So you make an emotional donation,
meaning the forty nine er fan a smitten kitten. They
love the We call it the handwarmers, or another way
(06:12):
to describe it would be the hot hand fallacy. We
see us a lot, we see us a lot in sports.
I've been fighting this for many, many years. But the
hot hand fallacy, which is a form of the gamblers fallacy,
is where they in this case we'll use it for
the gambling lexicon, but those that wager on sports, oftentimes
(06:33):
you will predict that something the outcome of something will
continue the way it's gone, meaning, for example, not speaking
the King's English year.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But brock Purdy played.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Really really well. It's played really really well the last
couple of games. So that's just going to continue to
the end of time. And the forty nine ers are
now just kicking ass and there's no reason to think
that we'll ever stop that. It's that positive recency bias, right,
the hot hand syndrome. So they see it in basketball,
somebody hits a bunch of shots and a reality, Well,
(07:06):
there's a thing. There's a thing called momentum. Whether there's
actually nothing such as momentum in sports. We know that's
not true. Smart people know that. Dumb people think there is,
So there's no such thing as momentum. But people bet
on momentum. People bet on momentum, and so the house
makes money on momentum. They love that you're stupid and
(07:26):
think there's momentum, and you will bet on Rock Party
having another four touchdown masterpiece game upcoming, and you'll bet
your money and then he will have.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
A more more moderate performance.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You see what I'm saying there, And listen, Rock Party
was an absolute blowtorch against the Philadelphia Football team.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
He was great, He was absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
But that doesn't mean he's going to be great every game,
and it doesn't mean that he's not a system quarterback.
And the world is very unpredictable, and things in sports
happens suddenly and often unpredictably, like Jake Browning going out
and lighting up Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence getting hurt. Those
are things when you handicap a game, You spent all
(08:10):
week for a stupid TV show handicapping a game, and
then that happens.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yah, good luck all right.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Secondly, headline from Jersey and that is where the Jets
parked their planes.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Robert Salad, we talked about this earlier. I want to
circle back to this.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Robert Sala attempted to put the toothpaste back in the tube,
trying to put the kebash on a rumor that Zach
Wilson was a malcontent. He had gone a wall, say
what was unwilling to step in as the starter again
for the Jets. Now, Robert Sala got up at the
(08:49):
dais and attempted to calm the waters. He said, let
me be clear, if we were reluctant to play or.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
He were reluctant to play.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
He wouldn't be here. Robert Salas scolding the media. He said,
the young man wants the ball, he wants us start.
Robert Salas diad, he went on and on. So that
was just part of his rebuttal the Jets coach.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
There to a report that.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Was buried behind a paywall on the Athletic that's owned
by the New York Times, the Old Gray Lady, that
said that Zach Wilson was originally believed to be reluctant
to return as the Jets starting quarterback, concerned about the
state of the franchise, his health, etc.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Etc. Etc.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So what is your viewpoint on both the response of
Robert Sala and the initial report that Zach Wilson was
skittish about returning to play quarterback for the Jets. So
I believe the initial reporting. And I watched Robert Sala
get up there in Hammon Hall at the the Dais.
(10:00):
I watched that, and the thought I had was this
guy's lying. That's the thought I know. I know he
tried to cover it up, and he knows like Tony
Robbins Junior, a mister motivational speaker guy and all that
but Robert Sala watching him dance around with the tap
dance routine that he was doing here. It's like going
to Caroline's Comedy Club in New York back in the
(10:23):
day and Robert Sala there doing a little improv right,
the improv there? Why not Tim Boyle stinks? We knew
that before he played. Trevor Simeon is not the guy.
They don't want to play him, and so you go
back to Zach Wilson. Not that he's any good, but
it's like there's a certain talk show us back in
(10:44):
the old days, sports radio guy. They always put the
worst people on to fill in for him, because he
knew that those people would make him look good. And
so the Jets found a way to make Zach Wilson
look good. Play Tim Boyle and play Trevor Simeon all right.
Final thought headline from Park Avenue. More fallout from the
blown calls in Sunday Night football as consas City. They
(11:11):
benefited from an egregious roughing penalty against Patrick Mahomes, where
actually it was against a defensive player for the Packers,
as Mahomes was not out of bounds, but there was
the pass interference call. The phantom call that was not
made on Marquez Valtez scantling, and that was the one
that had people completely up in arms. So the fallout
(11:36):
from that is bouncing around the echo chamber.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Here's the latest.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
At least one unnamed NFL head coach, one unnamed NFL
head coach wants the owners to step in. This comes
from the always paranoid Mike Florio, who claims it is
like a humble brag that he's friends with an NFL
head coach and an NFL head coach text him during
the game that it's time for owners to act on officiating. Okay,
(12:06):
question quickly, how likely or unlikely are the NFL owners
to actually work on improving the quality of the officiating,
and so the answer is extremely unlikely, extremely unlikely. We've
been through this conversation before, we will have this conversation
(12:27):
until the end of time, and my position has not changed.
I'm very stubborn, I'm bullheaded on this, and it doesn't
impact the bottom line. That's why they're not going to
make any changes. To make changes would be to mean
spending more money. The NFL has money handover fist, but
they don't want to spend it. And so the owners
(12:48):
people get all upset and the owners, some of them
get upsets, some of them owners are annoyed by this,
but it doesn't affect the golden goose. And as long
as the golden goose is still laying eggs, we're all
good here. We're all good here. And are there penalties
that are called that shouldn't be called? Sure, are there
penalties that should be called that aren't called. Yes, but
(13:08):
by the letter of the law, by the letter of
the law, there are multiple penalties on every single play.
It is a subjective situation. That's always the get out
of jail free card for the NFL and the NFL owners.
It's always what they go back to. It's subjective, and
so what's a penalty to one person is not a
penalty to another person. And that's how they play it.
(13:28):

(15:09):
dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's Ben Maler Well, I'm a bonus MLB minute coming up.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
The Winter meetings are going on. I gotta take advantage
of this.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
There's all kinds of gossip and dirt coming out of
Nashville where the baseball teams are getting together and complaining
about this, that and the other thing, trying to make trades.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We'll get to that. Also.

the top of the hour Mallard monologue. Let's see here,
(15:47):
Lady Sideburns says, I have a strict get up, off
the toilet and wipe at the first station break policy.
Sometimes it's just not enough time, Ben, I need you
to start waiting until half past the hour before you
go to commercial. Well, we never go to commercial. We
do live reads, but we never go to commercial.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We don't do that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
We're really just filler around the commercials. The most important
part is the advertisers. Late Night Drug Tester right Since says,
I disagree. If the gambling partners that have signed mega
million dollar deals with the NFL said, hey, we are
paying out too many unders, let's start calling past interference
to help add more scoring at the end of games,
(16:32):
then the rules will change, says the Late Night Drug Test.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Going with the gambling.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
World conspiracy, the deep state gambling world conspiracy. But is
it an issue of the officials being bad at their
jobs or are they following the instructions? That's up for debate.
Super Market Steve right Since says, do you think the
fact that you are getting emails with hourly updates on
(16:59):
betting lines as a sign that you might have a
problem no, it is a sign that I have a
dumb radio show and a stupid TV show that involves
gambling and they want promotion.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's what that is.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
You should see the emails that I get from PR
people pitching different authors for me to interview on my podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Who wrote some book that no one read?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And hey, would you like to interview you know, so
and so they wrote a book. You know nobody, nobody
bought the book, but they you can get them on
your podcast. I'm like, I think I'm good. I think
I'm all right. I'd rather just read Wikipedia pages, random
Ricky Wikipedia pages than do that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I think I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Robbie the Mariner fan isn't hiding right now after he
forgot Richard Sherman's name.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Very very embarrassing, very embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Andy the comic book guy, who's devastated the Miami Dolphins
of the number one seed in the American Football Conference says, yes,
twenty oh two was the last time the Mind Dolphins
with the number one seed in the NFL. However, it
has still been since the nineteen ninety nine season, since
their last postseason win, points out Andy the comic book Guy.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He points that out.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let's call the phones and we'll say hello boy. I
thought this guy's gonna call yesterday after the Browns game,
but he didn't call in. Let's say hello to Dick
in Dayton. Hello, Dexter, Happy, Hoday Happy.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I waved to you, Dick. I was at the Rams game.
Did you see me waving at you?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, yeah good.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
I just wanted to say that I'd like the way,
you know, Flacco was pretty good, but the just couldn't stop.
They couldn't stop the La offense. You know, yea they Dismembley,
I think with a couple of the mouth But I
am shocked. Then, I am shocked.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What are you shocked about? Let me help you out
what he shocked about?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Dick?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Bengals bring that quarterback in?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I know, Oh my goodness, gosh, Jake Browning, brow Jake
Browning great?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
How many did he get? Three hundred and thirty eight yards?
Wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
He was? He was amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He had a touchdown pass, a touchdown run. The Bengals
had four hundred and ninety one yards of offense. Three
hundred and fifty four yards for your guy.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Jake Browning and Hickins came back He looked pretty good too,
didn't he. I thought he was running pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
He is all right.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
J Jamar Chase was the guy though. He was the
guy was catching all the glasses and he was.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I really think from dy yow the I picked the
maybe if the defense, but I think they can pull
this off. I think they might be able to win
by a couple of points, maybe.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
At the Bengals of the Browns, which was Brown the
brown So you think the Browns going into week fourteen,
you're feeling relatively confident the Browns can take care of
Jacksonville with their.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Likely their backup quarterback.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
We don't know for sure, but it seems like it's
likely Trevor Lawrence is not gonna be able to play
next week.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Short week and all that.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
So well, you know down here, but they've been on
all the all of the Columbus stations and uh but
I'm kind of happy for I thought they would get
either the Cotton or the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
The Buck guys, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Yeah, they want Yeah, It's just nobody could believe that.
You know. I said to myself that maybe they could
pull an upset, but they I even I loved Joe
Buck and tory y aikman. They talked kindly at the
Bengals last night.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You know, yeah, you enjoyed that. You're watching the game.
Look at you, you're watching the watching the TV now

final four teams in college football?

Speaker 1 (23:17):
All right, thank you, bye bye. Well, nobody else has
that Georgia pick.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
You Ben Ben hung up on him. He doesn't want
you to meet him.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh I forgot. Yeah I did hang up on him.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I think I actually still time. I think I actually
have his number.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I'm pretty sure he'll call back back.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Yeah, that's that's true. I think we got his number
before one.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, we were worried about I remember during the COVID
stuff we thought he and.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Then we got him to send the CDUs I want.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, that's awesome. Make sure you tweet that out, Coop.
The Ben Malor Show is reporting that Georgia is going
to win the final four of Colors.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
One else is speaking of that.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Bold take that, Paul fine bomb, all right.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
How about one note from Major League Baseball, The Philly
is announcing a contract extension for manager Rob Thomas.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
He is, now, I like you said that with a
question mark at the end of view.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It almost said Rob Thompson. But it's not Thompson. It's
Thomas or Thompson. Is it Thompson.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I think he's pronounced Thomas Thompson. That's how I pronounced it.
Maybe I don't know, probably me.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
He's now under contract through twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So there, all right, Well, more on the MLB Minute
coming up momentarily. Also, I see Al Michaels and Kirk
kurb Street, Well they don't have to worry about saying
nice things about Bill Belichick. Belichick, it's going to the
CBS broadcast over the weekend, admitted he doesn't watch Thursday
Night NFL, and he gave the most Dick and Dayton
(24:47):
answer imaginable. He told the CBS broadcast team during the
terrible Patriot Charger again, but Spirodidas and Adam Archiletta shared
the tidbit. They said they were chatting with Belichick and
all that, and they asked him about uh, Thursday night football,
and they learned that he's not a streaming guy. He
(25:12):
was asked if he watched the Thursday night football game.
Belichick responded, what's that? That streaming thing? Nah, I don't
do that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
What do you say?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But how is it possible not to do that? Get
so much content is on streaming services.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I think he's lying. I think I don't buy that.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I think he's full of it because he didn't want
My theory is he just doesn't want to answer questions
about a game like I say, because the followup would
be what did you think of the game?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And so instead of saying what do you think of
the game, he's I didn't watch it? So I agree, Yeah,
that's it. That's my my answer on that.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So I don't think he's quite as much of the
curmudgeon as he wants to.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I can't believe.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I've for people that know more than I that say
that he's he's it's all in. It's like he's who's
that guy from Saturday Night Live Andy Kaufman, Like he's
got this persona that he has to keep up and
but behind the scenes when he knows he's not being recorded,
he's he's different, and that's how a lot of people
are not to that extreme. But we have the mini
(26:08):
MLB minute. Let's say hello to j Bone. Who oh,
he's not actually didn't want to be, but he wants
to be part of site the bite he called up early.
All right, here's the MLB minute. So do you have
any music? Get me in the mood here of marketing
baseball theme.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
There we go. All right, so the MLB Minute.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The Winter Meetings are going on right now in Nashville, Tennessee,
and at this hour several baseball scribes are hammered at
the bar at the opry Land Hotel. No but one Soto.
He's the big name that's supposed to be traded this week.
So far nothing, we're told. There are five teams, five
teams that are hot and heavy to try to get
(26:45):
one Soto. Former Padre soon to be former Padrey played
with the Washington Nationals. The Yankees are getting the most attention,
but they're not alone.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
They're not alone. Several other teams have one Soto.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Some of them have him as the fallback option if
they don't get Shohei Otani and O'tani and the rumor
on the last twenty four hour news cycle is that
he's progressing with the Toronto Blue Jays. But there's other
reports saying that he's gonna go back to the Angels.
One says the Atlanta Braves, one says the Dodgers. Nobody
(27:19):
knows anything. Nobody knows anything about Atani. Nothing. Cody Bellinger,
who was a total turd with the Dodgers the last
couple of years and they went to the Cubs and
played well, opted out of his contract and he is
asking for.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
The Moon to play for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We've got that cheating astro, aj Hinch, who's currently managing
the Detroit baseball team. But I guess they have no
integrity in the Motor City because they gave aj Hinch
a contract extension. But I don't remember the Tigers winning
many games. I don't know, Maybe I'm missing something. There
must be a different dimension. And it worked for the Angels,
(28:02):
it worked for the Angels. They've crunched the numbers. The Angels,
remember they dumped all those players, just got rid of
all the contracts. He just waved a bunch of players
to get out of the contracts. The Angels did end
up avoiding having to pay the luxury tax because they
sold off all those players gave them away.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
But here's the funny thing.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
So Baseball had the opportunity at the Winter Meetings here
to put a rule in to prevent teams in the
future from dumping salary like the Angels. The owners said no,
they didn't put the rule in, So that means going forward, we.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Could see a rerun, a.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Recreation of what the Angels did when they just started
dumping players in August. But Baseball could have put a
rule in and they chose not. Remember, the Angels made
the trade well the White Sox with Lucas Giolito, and
then they ended up repackaging him. We ended up with
Cleveland after he left the games.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
For once, it worked out.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
Normally, the Angels do something like this and all those
guys go on to like kill it and win you
know NLCS or ALCS MVP for their new teams. But
all these guys sucked well after they left the team also, so.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
They were bad.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And remember though initially the funniest part about that, initially
the Angels still were over the threshold. They had to
get rid of somebody else at the last minute to
go under the threshoal like they had gotten rid of
Giolito and a couple of other players. But yeah, but
they were still they were not in the sweet spot,
so they had to then get rid of another player
to get under the under the number. Anyway, all right,
(29:38):
it is the Ben Mathers Show. As we continue on,

Caller one, No, I will go that far, but I'll
say caller five, caller five, All right, Mark, will anyone
get it? Number six? He says, No, You're supposed to
do five, not six. Number five he said.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
He screwed it up. Coopoloo Yeah, I'm gonna say caller
number five. It's not as confident anymore. Here I play again,
Mark played again. Yeah, I think I know exactly who
it is.
Speaker 2 (31:52):

be shocked. Let's give the phones eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox if you want to play Site to
Bite the Great Sports Radio Mystery, and let's say hello

Speaker 1 (32:08):
You are my caller number one, Mario, and you.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Want to be on my game because I know who
it is?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, who is it.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Is?
Speaker 6 (32:16):
That?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Jason Kidd? That's so good job by you. Yeah. Well,
he's got kind of a distinctive voice.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I'm sorry, I want to play a game that I
was gonna be on your team.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Oh all right, all right, well I know you won.
I mean I want another shot. You won the game.
I mean, what is another shot? That's it? We had
one sound bite that was it? Okay, Yeah, I thought it.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Was a short enough clip that maybe it wasn't gonna
be No.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
But he's got a very distinctive delivery and we've heard
him for what twenty five years?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
And that's how I'm gonna sell Eddie Eddie you gotta
be more negative. People like negativity.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
All right, that's right, positive, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
We got enough of that with Ben Mario.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
You're the customer, is always right. And Mario wants negativity,
right Mario.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Yes, sir, especially for hang up on him.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
That'll be very negative.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He wants me to hang up on you, all right?
Are you go?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
There you go? That was negative, very negative right there.
It's kind of people like, that's negative, though, are you
he wants negative? He got what he wanted. Goodbye?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Are you upset Eddie?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That the championship game of the Playing Tournament is on Saturday?
I think it's the same night of the the Malard
Ugly Sweater party.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Is it going to be on your TV at the party?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
God?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
No, what do I care?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I will not be on there at all.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
It will be good.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Some old Christmas music movies or some holiday stuff will
be on there, I would imagine. But that's about it. Yeah,
that's about it.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Uh anyway. Uh So it was Jason Kidd and Coop.
You wrote all those clues, but when nobody ever heard
the clue, so we didn't.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
We didn't need him.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
I didn't think it was that easy, but I guess so.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, the pretty easy. The big story though from Monday Night,
Trevor Lawrence. Let's do a little round robin on how
bad Trevor lawrence ankle is now the initial reports which
are almost always wrong. It's like when there's a big
disaster or something and people say, you know this is
They're never almost never right. So I'm gonna say Trevor
(34:22):
Lawrence is out. I'm gonna go four weeks, two to
four weeks, but I'm gonna take the over. I'm gonna
go four weeks.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Eddie, were doing a round robin.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How many weeks we got left the regular season?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Well, it's week We're heading into week fourteen, so they
go to eighteen. So you can do the math on that.
Because it got week he's out for the rest of
the regular season. So which is I say he could
come back in week eighteen, But why would you do
that because then the playoffs would start.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Jackson a bit wild.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Definitely looked worse than Kenny Pickett and Pickets out two
to four weeks.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So you're not upset Pickets out because he stinks, No,
I am because tubisky he is a pile of crap.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, but so's can you pick. At least he's younger,
so it's younger.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You cannot get better. He's can only get worse. I
don't know, but that is awful. I'm not even watching
a Thursday a game.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Hey, Joe Flacco went out and played al right the
other day, so it is conceivable.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Every every dog has his day, Eddie. Can't he pick it?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Could play well and you're playing the Patriots now. I
know the Patriots have a good defense supposedly allegedly on
that Thursday night game. But you gotta think that the
Steelers will win.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
That you can't lose.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
You have no confidence.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Hot take, Eddie, Hot take.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
If the Steelers lose back to back to the Cardinals
and Patriots, you have to fire Mike tom Chan You
have to do You agree with me, Coopan want to
fire Tomlin? If you lose to the Cardinals and Patriots
in the year twenty twenty three, you have to get
rid of Tomlin. And I love Tomlin. Tomlin's great. How
about Tomlin to coach the Chargers, Eddie? How about that?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Well, I'm sure my wife would be thrilled with that.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
She'd be happy with that, right, Yeah, But I wouldn't
be Why would you no chance he gets because it.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Less of my One of my guys in Pittsburgh's been
sending me back.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
I'm telling me he was my guys. He's a big
medium mode.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I don't know that he wants me to say his name,
but he he says, well, listen, he said Tomlin should
be cooked.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Is what he's been saying years.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Still prepared mailing it in. How about that?
Speaker 9 (36:28):
The fact that Trubisky is playing out and Pickett got
hurt saves his job, even if it was ever on
the line.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Which it was.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Oh, at some point he's going to be removed as
coach of the Steelers. At some point, he's not going
to be there when he retires.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I don't know about that. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Last night, he said, they said the same thing about
what Oh god, uh Matt Cannon right, they'd never gotten
rid of a coordinator during the season, didn't they do that?
Speaker 1 (36:52):
They whacked him, They had him take a long.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Walk up his water back. Well, never mind, never mind
even brought that up.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Well, you shall have to pay off your other bets.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
You haven't paid off your other bets, you weasel. And oh,
I don't want to kiss your ass. That wasn't one
of the bets. But Mark, if you want to kiss
his ask, go ahead, Mark, No, thank you, I'm driving.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
You're driving.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
Could the Jaguars lose out the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Oh, you're looking for the Broncos to get in.
Speaker 9 (37:19):
No, I can't tell you how often I'm on that
playoff machine where you plug in the different results see
what happens.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
No, Well, Baltimore plays, they play the or the Jags
play the Browns, Ravens, Bucks, Panthers, and Titans. The Ravens
are the one that they should lose, out right, they
can beat the Browns are None of these teams have quarterback.
The Bucks, Browns, Panthers, and Titans. None of them have quarterbacks.
So they're actually even Jacksonvills actually even go you know
(37:46):
those matchups because they both have suck bags at quarterback.
And that's my for Mario and Michigan. That's my positive
thought of the day. Suck bags at quarterback.
