Speaker 2 (01:24):
So check all of that out. Check all of that
out here.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
In hour one, we talk about that Thursday night game
as the Steelers lose.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Again to the lovly Patriots.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Does this latest loss put Mike Tomlin on the Pittsburgh
hot seat? Also, how are things going for former Steelers
offensive coordinator Matt Canada in the three games since he
was let go? And whispers say the Steelers have shown
quote no indication that they're looking to move on from
Kenny Pikett. How much stock do you put in that
(01:56):
latest reporting. We'll get to that and much more right
now here. It is on a Friday, our number one
putting the pits in Pittsburgh. Well come, in the beginning
of another edition the Ben Mahler Show. We are in
the air everywhere, as audio Buddies is.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We don't rely on the label on the bag. No,
we don't coast to coast port, the.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Motor abond on the mast and coctively powerful microphones of
fs are em monating live from the button. We are
the snooze button of the overnight. We're broadcasting live from
the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrect dot com will help
(02:46):
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
roadhazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stalls. Tyreq
dot com. The Way Tire Buying Show be our headline
this hour from Western Pa and many anticipating hitting that
(03:07):
snooze alarm and enjoying the Thursday Night NFL Special, The
Thursday Special. The Steelers a team that has barely barely
been able to win a bunch of games where they
have a winning record. They were a playoff team heading
into Thursday Night, the start of week fourteen, and they
welcome in the two to ten New England Patriots. This
(03:28):
game was scheduled for arrival on the short bus. Why
did they play the game because it was on the schedule.
That's why they played the game at the lowest over
undertotal in a generation. And still people were betting the
under on the game, assuming there's no way this game
will be high scoring at all. Well, al Michaels and
(03:50):
Herbie were there for the Amazon. I don't know if
you watched it or not, probably not, but don't worry.
We watched it so you would not have to. Which
are good, Mitch for today, Happy Honika started the Honic.
So Bailey's zappy, Bailey's zappy Bailey Zabby threw three first
half touchdowns. This is not a flashback to his days
(04:10):
in Kentucky. No three first half touchdown passes. And then
realize that's all he had to do and that's probably
all he could do. Bailey z appy as the Patriots
snap a five games skid aoo and they derailed the
Steelers playoff hopes for now with a twenty one to
(04:31):
eighteen victory in the Thursday night NFL game. The better
story is in the losing locker room, and we'll start there.
The Yinsers dropped to seven and six and they are
now out out of the AFC playoff format. At this point,
they have dropped out. The Texans have moved up on
(04:52):
the big board, so adjust your bracket accordingly. The Texans
are now the last team in the AFC season as Houston,
we don't have a problem. That's a wonderful thing for
the Texans, who now also have a gift. They play
the Jets, which means they'll probably lose to the Jets
on Sunday in a bad weather game. But that's for
(05:14):
a different day to discuss. We will talk here, you
and I about what we saw in the Thursday night game.
So the question is rather obvious here the better story
in the losing locker room? Does this latest loss put
Mike Tomlin on the Steelers hot seat?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So I'm not in my head. Yes, you can snicker
and laugh at me all you want. I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I've got maritime freight shipping, Kodak moment, and TikTok challenge,
and we will tie all of these things together and
we are going to make a want to get away
kind of a vacation, because that was a want to
get away type performance in the first half in particular,
(05:59):
and the steel could not recover from that. So before
I get into the meat of the mallad monologue, listen,
I have heard all the propaganda. I've been doing this
a long time. It's not my first circus. I understand
the talking points memo.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Pittsburgh doesn't operate that way. They're not like the other
teams in the NFL. That's just not how they do business.
They haven't fired a coach since nineteen sixty eight. They're
not going to start today. Blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah. Wonderful, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, all streeks come to an it. I was told
the Boston when I was a kid. I was told
the Boston Red Sox were never gonna win the World
Series because of the curse of the Bambino, and then
they went out there and had a dynasty in the
early two thousands. I was also told the Chicago Cubs
could never win the World Series because of the curse
of the Billy Goat and they could not get it done.
And then they went out they won a World Series.
(06:46):
I was told the Dodgers would never win a World
Series again, the.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Curse of Kirk Gibson's home run the eighty eight World Series.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The Dodgers went out, they won the hardest World Series
of all time at the global pandemic.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So all Streek's coming to an end.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Now, do we love Mike, Let's get for gap absolute
Tomlin has been wonderful for blowhards and gas bags, and
I get there's a lot of media todis that are
running interference for Tomlin, the usual hards like Rich Eisen
and guys like that. You know, Tomlin's beyond reproach. He's
the teflon don but truth behold, or truth be told,
(07:23):
or behold, but truth be told. While we enjoy Tomlin
and his loquacious ability with a microphone, regardless of that,
it is not a popularity contest. If you are not
endangered after in a five game span losing to who
(07:46):
Pittsburgh has lost to, then what are you? A college
tenured professor? You'll never be in jeopardy. Tomlin is at
the steering wheel right now of a maritime freight shipping vessel.
It is the Ruddlers ship of chaos in Pittsburgh. In
his wicked, bad, how horrible, the Steelers just became the
(08:07):
first team in the modern era to be above five
hundred and week thirteen or later and then go out
and ride the vomit comet in back to back games
to teams with two or fewer wins. It had never happened,
of course, how many times has that scenario played out?
But both these games in what it's supposed to be
a house of horrors Pittsburgh, right the old Heinz Field.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
They changed the name of it. We still call Heines Field.
This is indefensible, inexcusable.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The Cardinals and Patriots are two to zero against Mike
Tomlin's team over the past five days and four and
twenty against the field.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
In the NFL. But no, oh, not in the hot seat.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I mean, we were kidding around about this. We didn't
think they would actually lose the game this year. We
talked about this in an earlier episode of the show.
This week, you got to fire Tomlin if you lose
back to back to the Cardinals and the Patriots, and
tom will get another job in five seconds. But you
gotta make that move. But we'll see what happens in
the coming days here in Pittsburgh. Putting the terrible in
(09:10):
the terrible towels. Now moving on, as we bounce around
this developing story, How are things going?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Let's do a wellness check.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
How are things going for former Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Alla.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, the needle is pointing up.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The needle is absolutely pointing up, and somewhere in a
condo in the upper floors of a condo in a
luxury high rise. Matt Canada had a cheshire Cat smile
from ear to ear as Matt Canada, who was a
human sacrifice. The insert fans rejoiced. They enjoyed shot in freude,
(09:53):
convinced that the devil was gone.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The devil was gone.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Matt Canada decommissioned by Mike Tomlin. And that's all it took,
and up, up and away for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense.
So okay, three games now without Matt Canada running the offense,
how are things looking okay?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
This is a Kodak moment, a Kodak one. That's an
outdated reverybody.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
There's a little snapshot, little snapshot, little screen grab.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The Steelers have played three games. In these three games,
they've averaged three hundred and thirty four yards of offense
and fourteen point six points per game. Whoo man offensive
explosion firecrackers boom bang, oh, pyrotechnics. That's it, Matt Canada,
(10:45):
get rid of him. All your problems are solved.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This is Mitch Trubisky batcher. Sure he's bad, but there's
a lot of suck to go around.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
The Steeler locker room and a lot of those receivers
that were drafted pretty high have good resumes doing much,
not too much. Our last we're here speaking of the
quarterback room. We mentioned Mitch Trubisky. The whispers around the
NFL echo chambers say the Steelers have shown quote no indication,
(11:17):
no indication that they're looking to move on from Kenny Pickett.
So how much stock do you put in this particular report?
So the answer is zero? The answer is zero stock.
This is like a tick talk challenge. Never let them
know your next move right, Yeah, you zig right when
(11:39):
you expect them to zag, etc.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Pickets superpower.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Kenny Pickets superpower in the NFL since he took over
there in the Steel Cities. He's really good, elite level
quarterback at two things, ill timed incompletions and injuries. Those
two things, especially injuries. He has not shown that he
is anywhere close to the pillar of a franchise. He's
(12:06):
not a foundational piece. Maybe if everything goes right, he
can become a game manager. But Pittsburgh, while they do
have multi dimensional problems. The idea that these Steelers have
shown no indication that you're looking to move on from
Kenny Pickett, that's just a load of nonsense, because we
(12:26):
do know there were people chattering recently that if Kenny
Pickett had not gotten hurt, that they were considering benching.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Him anyway, that he was that bad, that they were thinking.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, somebody else in there anyway, what are we doing here?
And you're trying to find brock party system quarterback extraordinary,
right that you're trying to find you try and find
or Jake Browning who went out lit up the Jacksonville
football team back on Monday night. And you're like, well,
maybe we'll find that. They haven't found that guy yet
(13:00):
in Pittsburgh. But Kenny Picketts scher ain't it? And uh
miss Trubisky living up to his scouting report on the
Pro Football Reference page there for sure?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
For sure, it is the Ben Mallor show.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
As we are just getting the party started here and
if you would like to be part speakeasy rules are
in effect because if I give out the number, a
bunch of the idiots complain.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Will you give it out the number? I don't like
when you give out the number I don't want. I
don't want people calling it are new people.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I only want the I want the people that can
you know, call up whenever they want because they have
the inside number.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I get. That is what I get. Well,
I actually have Let's let's give you a little Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Here.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
We have some time, so let's give you a little Tomlin.
Here is Mike Tomlin. You can hear the question and
the answer.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
The very well spoken debonair, Mike Tomlin asked about the
current state of the Pittsburgh Steelers after these losses, and
well you'll hear the question and the answer. Here is
Mike tom Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Where do you guys go? You know what, what is
the direction? We get ready for our next opportunity next week.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
That's what we all always do, obviously the things.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
But we'll be back. Oh that was a version of
on the Cincarnati. We're on the snati is what we're doing. Okay, Okay,
I got you. We'll see about that. It is the
Ben Mallard. That's right. Well, see, the Steelers they upset their.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Fan base because you know, Tomlin wants the Steeler fan
to be fat and happy, and now they're just.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We want them to be fat and sassy and sassy,
not happy.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Sassy. Well, they're definitely sassy. They're very sassy, and they're
sassy to Tomlin. At this point, it is The Ben
Mallor Show.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Will take your calls.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
As mentioned Speakeasy rules and effect also on x at
Ben Mallor. Well, for many we've called it Pittsburgh, but
maybe we should change the name to Poutsburg Sasa.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Poutsburg Pa.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And when motivational speaking goes wrong, when motivational speaking goes wrong,
we'll get to that as well.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And we will do it next.

Like sour cream, so I'm more of an applesauce guy.
Oh that I need.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I do need a jelly donut at some point, though.
You know you got a traditional Eddie. I'm a traditionalist
when it comes to the holidays and things like that.
Speaker 5 (16:49):

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I was not oh, I was not playing Santa.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But I'm trying to think what else I need for
the proper traditional Honukkah experience here, which started no brisket.
I made brisket for Thanksgiving, so that's a pain in
the ass to make that. So I'm not I'm not there.
Congratulations Eddie on your Pittsburgh Steelers, and this is a
proud day for you.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
These Steelers are the laughing stock of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Congratulations that's a little strong, but just lost to the
Cardinals and the Patriots at home. I don't know how
much about laughing stock more you can be than that.
How about some reality Eddie, how about a reality check.
It's embarrassing. If you're not here, you're a joke. If
you're not embarrassed, Eddie, come.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
On, I didn't say it wasn't embarrassing. I'm not personally embarrassed.
I don't play, but that was there embarrassing the last
two weeks. I definitely why become a Charger fan. That's
why you've moved away from the Steelers, because you see
what's going on there in Pittsburgh and you've become more
of a Charger fan or you know, or I married
a Charger season ticket holder.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
One or the other definitely go to more Charger games
than Steelers. I wonder why, Well, I don't know, because
you're you could you're a big radio star. You could
I to Pittsburgh whenever you want to go to a game,
or go to any of the road games, and you
and you could pay forts to go see the Rams
every week.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
And you don't do that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I don't because listen, I don't. I don't want to
hang with the unwashed.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
It I know you don't, don't. You don't like people,
which is really weird.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
If I hang out with you, they might want to
talk to me, and I don't want to talk to them,
and then any problem.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Then it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I gaid get paid to talk to people here, So
I figure that's that's good enough.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Well, instead of Pittsburgh, how about Poutsburg.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Because if you're watching the game, maybe you were, I
don't know, maybe you turned it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Off there with some hockey. I don't know how into
the game of.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Your but I saw the second half.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
George George Pickens George Pickens uh Man a viral highlight
here George Pickens losing his losing his mind here pouting
on the field. Uh, the body language was just just outstanding,
(18:57):
a just a snapshot.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
A moment in time.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Pickens was open in the end zone on a fourth
and two play in the red zone, but he didn't
get the ball and he did not appreciate not getting
the ball, and he made sure he to just like
kind of let his body melt on the field. It
(19:24):
was pretty pretty amusing to watch the clip, the pouting
George Pickens out on the field there having a fine,
fine time as it all crashes down right there. And
I did see Tomlin got into it, gave a come
to Jesus conversation to Pickens on the sidelines there and
(19:48):
Tom And also later on in the game, there was
a different fourth and two with about two minutes to
go in the game, the Steelers needing a field goal
to tie the game. On a fourth and two, Mike
Tomlin decides screw the screw, rushing the ball or throwing
a short pass.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
For oh god, this drives me insane when they do this,
when they try to throw the fifty yard pass when
you need two yards to get a first down. It
was too old, you know, by the way, miss your quarterback,
what are the chances of this happening.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But if it had worked, Daddy, Oh.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
No, no, no, I see over and over and over
again when I watch football. That is a stupid play.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
But parallel dimension and say parallel dimension, it's still even
if it.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Do not interrupt the hot take. Do not interrupt the
hot take. Please, So let's say that pass parallel dimension,
that pass.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
But there's no parallel dimension is complete?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yes there is. We live in a multi dimensionals, yes
we do. You're you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So mister Whisky completes the pass. Here's the headline. These
ain't Matt Canada Steelers anymore. Look, Steelers have ball.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Tall headlines are stupid.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So well, you're such a negative person.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
This is this is vat And then it didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Very negative.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The Steelers went for it. That Tomlins shot is shot.
It didn't work out for the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And I'd rather they just hand the damn ball off.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
They're going to do so, then they would have run
in the back of their offense.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I would rather they do that than have Mitch Trubisky
throw a deep pass on a short yard.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
This guy was a first round pick for the Chicago Bears.
That he how Dad he's not playing for the first
round picks.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They're the coolest guys. Every drop.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Sam, the guy's a bomb.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
The great Joe and Rhode Island one of the great
one hit wonders, the my Sharona of the show here,
Joe and Rhode Island called up for like a month.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Roberto called it. Roberto said, Joe and Rhode Island is
not going to be a long term caller.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
We all, I think we all kind of saw he
was going to be a shooting star.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but it was great, well lasted. I mean, we'll
always have those memories. We'll always have those memories of
Joe and Rhode Island. And it was it was absolutely wonderful. Anyways,
the Ben Mallor Show, as we continue on here, I
did want to mention mentions.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I was gonna do a full Mallord monologue on this.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
But yeah, Sean McDermott, when motivational speaking goes back, there's
two things about this story that are very odd to
me and and well we'll get to them. But if
you don't know the story, he'll give you the cliff
Notes version of this or the mallard notes version. So
on a random some podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I've never heard of. I don't know, I don't go
long podcast. What the hell is that? I don't even
know what that is.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Anyway, some fledgling podcast, and this guy told the story
about McDermott's approach to coach Sean McDermott, the in Battled
Buffalo coach, and he talked about the motivational tendency he
ain't pretty much painted a picture that there's a lot
of players in the Bill's locker room that don't really
like Sean dermott and the.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Illustrate the issues here.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And they were talking about how McDermott was trying to
do many coaches do with team bonding.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You know, some people go to an escape room or a.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Top golf for team bonding. Mike Tomlin or Mike Thomlins,
Sean McDermott, he my coaches mixed up. So Sean McDermott.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
This goes back to twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen, and he
was talking.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
About, you know, different things during training camp and all that.
And it's either twenty nineteen or twenty twenty one. I
think it was twenty nineteen, but maybe it was twenty
twenty one. This is a training camp in Pittsford, New York,
a Saint John's Fisher College, and the story goes, according
to this guy who knows if it's the truth, and
I love McDermott apparently confirmed it. McDermott gave him address
(23:51):
to the team, and he told the team that they
needed to come together. And then he decided, I did
to use an analogy to describe what kind of togetherness
they needed, and he used an analogy involving guys with
box cutters who hijacked planes and flew them into the
(24:12):
World Trade Center, which seems a little extreme, didn't really
hit the mark, but he did talk about the hijackers
as a group of people who were able to get
on the same page have teamwork as they were killing
thousands of people. But that's good terrorists. They had good
teamwork they did. I mean, you can't disagree with that,
Tom or McDermott rather was right. McDermott was right. They
did have good teamwork by way, So that got out.
(24:36):
And here is the apology, Yes an apology here is
and again this happened years ago. But here is the
head coach of the Buffalo Bills, Sean McDermott, addressing the
Komodo Dragon on the podcast that he used a nine
to eleven analogy to try to motivate the bills to
be more like your favorite terrorist.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Take a listen, I'm gonna reference the team meeting that
has been brought up. My intent in the meeting that
day was to discuss the importance of communication and being
on the same page with the team. I regretted mentioning
nine to eleven in my message that day, and I
immediately apologize to the team. Not only was nine to
(25:20):
eleven a horrific event in our country's history, but a day,
but a day that I lost a good family friend.
And so with that, I'll turn it over to answer
any questions you might have.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Okay, so the now I know, there's the it's called
the Goodwin's law where if in a conversation, the first
person that mentions Hitler loses the argument.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
There's the debate. You lose the argument when you go
to like the Hitler card is nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Also in that in that category, like you've lost the
argument when you bring up like support nine to eleven terrorists,
which seems like pretty logical that that you would lose
lose the argument. But so he at least he didn't say, like, hey,
the Nazi guards really were on the same page there
back back in the day.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
He didn't do that, but he went nine to eleven there.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
So Sean mcdermot's very randomness least like this came out
this years ago, and this just came out randomly here
sorry on just a typical midweek Thursday and Wednesday Thursday.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I don't very very odd, but hey, welcome to the end. Now.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Sean McDermott will not lose his job for this. He
should lose his job for the way he's coached the
Buffalo Bills. That's how he should lose his job, not
necessarily for this.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Back to the NFL and some quarterback news and Ravens
quarterback Lamar Jackson did not practice for Baltimore because of
an illness, and Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence seem participating in
practice despite the serious looking ankle injury that he suffered
on Monday Night Football. We'll see though, if he can
(27:14):
actually play or not over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
He's not playing and if he plays, he'll be hopping
on a pogo stick in the rain in Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
He'd still be better than Mitch Trubisky.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
What about c J. Bethard, Will you be better than
c J. Bethard. Yeah, CJ Bethort Let's go eat hard
all day, beat hard all night. When you want offense,
you go iowahaka. Well they actually had offense back then.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
He must be old. That's a long time.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
It was fifteen twenty sixteen. They actually had. You know,
they could score a little bit. All right, that's enough,
I would tuk. It's not the iowaman in CJ. Beat hard.
Let's go. Sam's in a good mood. I don't know
why I like to see him do well. All right,
all right, you also want me to do this.

(28:23):
Bill Maher got fired for saying basically the same thing.
McDermott said, well, yeah, you say, well this guy got
fired played the ipsen butts, candy and nuts game.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Oh yeah, that is pretty much the exact same thing.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, but man mc dermott, he should be fire business
coach this, I mean he failed analogy.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well and heill Marsh said it like two days after
nine to eleven, Brad, I'll let it breathe a little bit,
you know, a little tough then, And this is what
you mentioned.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
This was from what twenty nineteen when he said, well,
either nine I.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Saw one stories at twenty nineteen and another said it
was twenty twenty one. But it was a couple of
years ago at least.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
So nothing like holding onto that story for.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
The right time, I guess strategically, Barry Sean mcder.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Is that.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
The offensive coordinator he fired leaking that out? Dorsey Ken
Dorsey's holding on to a gift.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Card Tyler Dune. Who is that? I don't know who
that is.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I'm just saying Dorsey. Is Dorsey telling people about this
now that he got canned?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Well, I oh, maybe, who knows. I'm going to cash
in my nine to eleven scandal gift card here. It's
been sitting in my wallet for four years. Yeah, you
got to use that. Yeah, doesn't expire, does I guess?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
This guy, Tyler Dune is a longtime NFL and Bill's reporter.
I've never heard of this person. I have no idea
who this person is. Eh, I don't I don't know
what you're talking about. All right, please, please, my god,
let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Sorgia like Georgia Hello.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
I got it right, mister Mala, how are you today?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I get a gold Star Swergia because everyone you get.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Five goals about Ben for the freaking Oh my god, dude,
for the name, Oh my god. Before I get to
my patriots take I just want to give you like
a You guys were talking about desserts earlier, so I
just wanted to give you like a good recommendation. So
Duncan Donuts right now. I don't know. I'm trying to
get to two seventy by the end of the year,
(30:35):
but Duncan Donuts right now they have this whoopee pie donut.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Ben, are you trying to get up seventy.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Down, go down, trying to go down.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
So Ben can help you out with that.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'm just saying that you're saying this day, get just
one a couple, just one donuts.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
One doesn't want this way.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Listen, Ben, but let's let's you know, we're done with
the sweets. Let's get down to business. The Patriots are back.
All right, listen, listen, hear me out, Ben, hear me out.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
He me out.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
All right, I'm back.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I got the plan. Just hear me out. All right,
I'm about to lay out the blueprint. Okay, it's happening,
all right. That is the guy. Okay, we found him,
all right, Max Jones. Unfortunately, I don't know why we
took Max Jones. I don't even think Belichick wanted to
(31:37):
take Max Jones. I think Belichick thinks he can win
with like Joe Flacko. You know what I mean. He
does not value the quarterback position.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
He just realized that. I don't even think he has
realized that he had the greatest human eraser in Tom Brady.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
But hear me out. If we get Marvin Harrison Jr.
In this draft, and if Zach he can put together
a good campaign in this next couple of games where
we can finish the season at like let's say three
and fourteen, four and thirteen still get the top five pick.
I say, we gotta get Marvin Harrison junior. Maybe we
(32:14):
bring in a veteran to we to kind of coach
Zappy a little bit. But I'm happy to say that
we are back. We are back. I mean, think about it,
this Pittsburgh defense. I mean, I know TJT Watt at
the beginning of that game, right, I mean he got
that weird play.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Where like he got hurt, like in the second play
of the game or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Yeah, really is Well, maybe you could make the argument
that the Pittsburgh defense was a little week today and
maybe that Mike Tomlin is probably the most overrated coach
of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
But other than that, can I ask the question now
that you have Zapi mani or Zapi fever, whatever the
locals call it, there, you've got to go right, So
let me let me ask you this now, Sergia, did
you watch the second half?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Okay, so here because because Bailey.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Zappy played well for fifty he played well for thirty
minutes in the second half.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
His passer rating was forty eight point two.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, lisn't he kept the lead? No turnovers. I actually
had the lead. Ben, I'll leave you with he.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Did have a tourney. He threw an interception in the
second half. Sosia, you should you should reserve your your
zap attack license plate right now. That's good.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
You did throw Oh my man, I was working.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Oh my ba, my bet.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
You want to retract your your zapp.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
I will do what most journalists do not do today.
I will track my previous statement.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
So the Patriots need a quarterback still, they need be
I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I'll leave you with this, all right, sword, all right,
I love I had the Patriots under loss. I had
a live bet with the Patriots to cover lost. All right, Well,
how did you how did you wait?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Wait? Wait, because the pay were six point underdogs at
the start of the game, and you had what was
the live bet?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Because they won the game?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
So yeah, but the spread was six and a half
and I was cold, but they.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Were wait wait, but Pittsburgh was Pittsburgh was favored by six.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
But I saw that's the line I saw.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, but theread you won?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
He live beted, So the Patriots are already leading when
he plays the bet okay, correct, why would you do that?
You thought they were just going to pour it on.
He thought it was gonna be a forty point blowout.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh my god, man, Now you know what I blame.
I blame sergeant. I blame that whoopee pie donut from Duncan.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
That's what I blame.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
You were on a sugar high right there. You were
so excited, you were giddy. You're like, this is the
most amazing. So how much how many pounds you got
to lose to get to two seventy?
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Here were we looking about like right now?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So you got that, man, you got that. No prop,
my last nothing. You'll get that done, and then your
new Year's resolution will be the game of wait back.
That'll be your new Year's resolution. So you'll have it,
all right, thank you? All right, I gotta go, all right,
thank you. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
So check all of that out. Check all of that
out here.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
In hour one, we talk about that Thursday night game
as the Steelers lose.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Again to the lovly Patriots.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Does this latest loss put Mike Tomlin on the Pittsburgh
hot seat? Also, how are things going for former Steelers
offensive coordinator Matt Canada in the three games since he
was let go? And whispers say the Steelers have shown
quote no indication that they're looking to move on from
Kenny Pikett. How much stock do you put in that
(01:56):
latest reporting. We'll get to that and much more right
now here. It is on a Friday, our number one
putting the pits in Pittsburgh. Well come, in the beginning
of another edition the Ben Mahler Show. We are in
the air everywhere, as audio Buddies is.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We don't rely on the label on the bag. No,
we don't coast to coast port, the.

dot com. The Way Tire Buying Show be our headline
this hour from Western Pa and many anticipating hitting that
(03:07):
snooze alarm and enjoying the Thursday Night NFL Special, The
Thursday Special. The Steelers a team that has barely barely
been able to win a bunch of games where they
have a winning record. They were a playoff team heading
into Thursday Night, the start of week fourteen, and they
welcome in the two to ten New England Patriots. This
(03:28):
game was scheduled for arrival on the short bus. Why
did they play the game because it was on the schedule.
That's why they played the game at the lowest over
undertotal in a generation. And still people were betting the
under on the game, assuming there's no way this game
will be high scoring at all. Well, al Michaels and
(03:50):
Herbie were there for the Amazon. I don't know if
you watched it or not, probably not, but don't worry.
We watched it so you would not have to. Which
are good, Mitch for today, Happy Honika started the Honic.
So Bailey's zappy, Bailey's zappy Bailey Zabby threw three first
half touchdowns. This is not a flashback to his days
(04:10):
in Kentucky. No three first half touchdown passes. And then
realize that's all he had to do and that's probably
all he could do. Bailey z appy as the Patriots
snap a five games skid aoo and they derailed the
Steelers playoff hopes for now with a twenty one to
(04:31):
eighteen victory in the Thursday night NFL game. The better
story is in the losing locker room, and we'll start there.
The Yinsers dropped to seven and six and they are
now out out of the AFC playoff format. At this point,
they have dropped out. The Texans have moved up on
(04:52):
the big board, so adjust your bracket accordingly. The Texans
are now the last team in the AFC season as Houston,
we don't have a problem. That's a wonderful thing for
the Texans, who now also have a gift. They play
the Jets, which means they'll probably lose to the Jets
on Sunday in a bad weather game. But that's for
(05:14):
a different day to discuss. We will talk here, you
and I about what we saw in the Thursday night game.
So the question is rather obvious here the better story
in the losing locker room? Does this latest loss put
Mike Tomlin on the Steelers hot seat?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So I'm not in my head. Yes, you can snicker
and laugh at me all you want. I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I've got maritime freight shipping, Kodak moment, and TikTok challenge,
and we will tie all of these things together and
we are going to make a want to get away
kind of a vacation, because that was a want to
get away type performance in the first half in particular,
(05:59):
and the steel could not recover from that. So before
I get into the meat of the mallad monologue, listen,
I have heard all the propaganda. I've been doing this
a long time. It's not my first circus. I understand
the talking points memo.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Pittsburgh doesn't operate that way. They're not like the other
teams in the NFL. That's just not how they do business.
They haven't fired a coach since nineteen sixty eight. They're
not going to start today. Blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah. Wonderful, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, all streeks come to an it. I was told
the Boston when I was a kid. I was told
the Boston Red Sox were never gonna win the World
Series because of the curse of the Bambino, and then
they went out there and had a dynasty in the
early two thousands. I was also told the Chicago Cubs
could never win the World Series because of the curse
of the Billy Goat and they could not get it done.
And then they went out they won a World Series.
(06:46):
I was told the Dodgers would never win a World
Series again, the.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Curse of Kirk Gibson's home run the eighty eight World Series.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The Dodgers went out, they won the hardest World Series
of all time at the global pandemic.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So all Streek's coming to an end.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Now, do we love Mike, Let's get for gap absolute
Tomlin has been wonderful for blowhards and gas bags, and
I get there's a lot of media todis that are
running interference for Tomlin, the usual hards like Rich Eisen
and guys like that. You know, Tomlin's beyond reproach. He's
the teflon don but truth behold, or truth be told,
(07:23):
or behold, but truth be told. While we enjoy Tomlin
and his loquacious ability with a microphone, regardless of that,
it is not a popularity contest. If you are not
endangered after in a five game span losing to who
(07:46):
Pittsburgh has lost to, then what are you? A college
tenured professor? You'll never be in jeopardy. Tomlin is at
the steering wheel right now of a maritime freight shipping vessel.
It is the Ruddlers ship of chaos in Pittsburgh. In
his wicked, bad, how horrible, the Steelers just became the
(08:07):
first team in the modern era to be above five
hundred and week thirteen or later and then go out
and ride the vomit comet in back to back games
to teams with two or fewer wins. It had never happened,
of course, how many times has that scenario played out?
But both these games in what it's supposed to be
a house of horrors Pittsburgh, right the old Heinz Field.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
They changed the name of it. We still call Heines Field.
This is indefensible, inexcusable.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The Cardinals and Patriots are two to zero against Mike
Tomlin's team over the past five days and four and
twenty against the field.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
In the NFL. But no, oh, not in the hot seat.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I mean, we were kidding around about this. We didn't
think they would actually lose the game this year. We
talked about this in an earlier episode of the show.
This week, you got to fire Tomlin if you lose
back to back to the Cardinals and the Patriots, and
tom will get another job in five seconds. But you
gotta make that move. But we'll see what happens in
the coming days here in Pittsburgh. Putting the terrible in
(09:10):
the terrible towels. Now moving on, as we bounce around
this developing story, How are things going?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Let's do a wellness check.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
How are things going for former Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Alla.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, the needle is pointing up.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The needle is absolutely pointing up, and somewhere in a
condo in the upper floors of a condo in a
luxury high rise. Matt Canada had a cheshire Cat smile
from ear to ear as Matt Canada, who was a
human sacrifice. The insert fans rejoiced. They enjoyed shot in freude,
(09:53):
convinced that the devil was gone.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The devil was gone.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Matt Canada decommissioned by Mike Tomlin. And that's all it took,
and up, up and away for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense.
So okay, three games now without Matt Canada running the offense,
how are things looking okay?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
This is a Kodak moment, a Kodak one. That's an
outdated reverybody.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
There's a little snapshot, little snapshot, little screen grab.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The Steelers have played three games. In these three games,
they've averaged three hundred and thirty four yards of offense
and fourteen point six points per game. Whoo man offensive
explosion firecrackers boom bang, oh, pyrotechnics. That's it, Matt Canada,
(10:45):
get rid of him. All your problems are solved.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This is Mitch Trubisky batcher. Sure he's bad, but there's
a lot of suck to go around.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
The Steeler locker room and a lot of those receivers
that were drafted pretty high have good resumes doing much,
not too much. Our last we're here speaking of the
quarterback room. We mentioned Mitch Trubisky. The whispers around the
NFL echo chambers say the Steelers have shown quote no indication,
(11:17):
no indication that they're looking to move on from Kenny Pickett.
So how much stock do you put in this particular report?
So the answer is zero? The answer is zero stock.
This is like a tick talk challenge. Never let them
know your next move right, Yeah, you zig right when
(11:39):
you expect them to zag, etc.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Pickets superpower.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Kenny Pickets superpower in the NFL since he took over
there in the Steel Cities. He's really good, elite level
quarterback at two things, ill timed incompletions and injuries. Those
two things, especially injuries. He has not shown that he
is anywhere close to the pillar of a franchise. He's
(12:06):
not a foundational piece. Maybe if everything goes right, he
can become a game manager. But Pittsburgh, while they do
have multi dimensional problems. The idea that these Steelers have
shown no indication that you're looking to move on from
Kenny Pickett, that's just a load of nonsense, because we
(12:26):
do know there were people chattering recently that if Kenny
Pickett had not gotten hurt, that they were considering benching.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Him anyway, that he was that bad, that they were thinking.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, somebody else in there anyway, what are we doing here?
And you're trying to find brock party system quarterback extraordinary,
right that you're trying to find you try and find
or Jake Browning who went out lit up the Jacksonville
football team back on Monday night. And you're like, well,
maybe we'll find that. They haven't found that guy yet
(13:00):
in Pittsburgh. But Kenny Picketts scher ain't it? And uh
miss Trubisky living up to his scouting report on the
Pro Football Reference page there for sure?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
For sure, it is the Ben Mallor show.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
As we are just getting the party started here and
if you would like to be part speakeasy rules are
in effect because if I give out the number, a
bunch of the idiots complain.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Will you give it out the number? I don't like
when you give out the number I don't want. I
don't want people calling it are new people.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I only want the I want the people that can
you know, call up whenever they want because they have
the inside number.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I get. That is what I get. Well,
I actually have Let's let's give you a little Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Here.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
We have some time, so let's give you a little Tomlin.
Here is Mike Tomlin. You can hear the question and
the answer.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
The very well spoken debonair, Mike Tomlin asked about the
current state of the Pittsburgh Steelers after these losses, and
well you'll hear the question and the answer. Here is
Mike tom Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Where do you guys go? You know what, what is
the direction? We get ready for our next opportunity next week.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
That's what we all always do, obviously the things.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
But we'll be back. Oh that was a version of
on the Cincarnati. We're on the snati is what we're doing. Okay, Okay,
I got you. We'll see about that. It is the
Ben Mallard. That's right. Well, see, the Steelers they upset their.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Fan base because you know, Tomlin wants the Steeler fan
to be fat and happy, and now they're just.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We want them to be fat and sassy and sassy,
not happy.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Sassy. Well, they're definitely sassy. They're very sassy, and they're
sassy to Tomlin. At this point, it is The Ben
Mallor Show.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Will take your calls.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
As mentioned Speakeasy rules and effect also on x at
Ben Mallor. Well, for many we've called it Pittsburgh, but
maybe we should change the name to Poutsburg Sasa.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Poutsburg Pa.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And when motivational speaking goes wrong, when motivational speaking goes wrong,
we'll get to that as well.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And we will do it next.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Like sour cream, so I'm more of an applesauce guy.
Oh that I need.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I do need a jelly donut at some point, though.
You know you got a traditional Eddie. I'm a traditionalist
when it comes to the holidays and things like that.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
So were you were you playing Santa last night?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I was not oh, I was not playing Santa.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But I'm trying to think what else I need for
the proper traditional Honukkah experience here, which started no brisket.
I made brisket for Thanksgiving, so that's a pain in
the ass to make that. So I'm not I'm not there.
Congratulations Eddie on your Pittsburgh Steelers, and this is a
proud day for you.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
These Steelers are the laughing stock of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Congratulations that's a little strong, but just lost to the
Cardinals and the Patriots at home. I don't know how
much about laughing stock more you can be than that.
How about some reality Eddie, how about a reality check.
It's embarrassing. If you're not here, you're a joke. If
you're not embarrassed, Eddie, come.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
On, I didn't say it wasn't embarrassing. I'm not personally embarrassed.
I don't play, but that was there embarrassing the last
two weeks. I definitely why become a Charger fan. That's
why you've moved away from the Steelers, because you see
what's going on there in Pittsburgh and you've become more
of a Charger fan or you know, or I married
a Charger season ticket holder.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
One or the other definitely go to more Charger games
than Steelers. I wonder why, Well, I don't know, because
you're you could you're a big radio star. You could
I to Pittsburgh whenever you want to go to a game,
or go to any of the road games, and you
and you could pay forts to go see the Rams
every week.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
And you don't do that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I don't because listen, I don't. I don't want to
hang with the unwashed.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
It I know you don't, don't. You don't like people,
which is really weird.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
If I hang out with you, they might want to
talk to me, and I don't want to talk to them,
and then any problem.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Then it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I gaid get paid to talk to people here, So
I figure that's that's good enough.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Well, instead of Pittsburgh, how about Poutsburg.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Because if you're watching the game, maybe you were, I
don't know, maybe you turned it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Off there with some hockey. I don't know how into
the game of.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Your but I saw the second half.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
George George Pickens George Pickens uh Man a viral highlight
here George Pickens losing his losing his mind here pouting
on the field. Uh, the body language was just just outstanding,
(18:57):
a just a snapshot.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
A moment in time.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Pickens was open in the end zone on a fourth
and two play in the red zone, but he didn't
get the ball and he did not appreciate not getting
the ball, and he made sure he to just like
kind of let his body melt on the field. It
(19:24):
was pretty pretty amusing to watch the clip, the pouting
George Pickens out on the field there having a fine,
fine time as it all crashes down right there. And
I did see Tomlin got into it, gave a come
to Jesus conversation to Pickens on the sidelines there and
(19:48):
Tom And also later on in the game, there was
a different fourth and two with about two minutes to
go in the game, the Steelers needing a field goal
to tie the game. On a fourth and two, Mike
Tomlin decides screw the screw, rushing the ball or throwing
a short pass.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
For oh god, this drives me insane when they do this,
when they try to throw the fifty yard pass when
you need two yards to get a first down. It
was too old, you know, by the way, miss your quarterback,
what are the chances of this happening.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But if it had worked, Daddy, Oh.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
No, no, no, I see over and over and over
again when I watch football. That is a stupid play.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
But parallel dimension and say parallel dimension, it's still even
if it.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Do not interrupt the hot take. Do not interrupt the
hot take. Please, So let's say that pass parallel dimension,
that pass.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
But there's no parallel dimension is complete?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yes there is. We live in a multi dimensionals, yes
we do. You're you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So mister Whisky completes the pass. Here's the headline. These
ain't Matt Canada Steelers anymore. Look, Steelers have ball.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Tall headlines are stupid.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So well, you're such a negative person.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
This is this is vat And then it didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Very negative.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The Steelers went for it. That Tomlins shot is shot.
It didn't work out for the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And I'd rather they just hand the damn ball off.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
They're going to do so, then they would have run
in the back of their offense.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I would rather they do that than have Mitch Trubisky
throw a deep pass on a short yard.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
This guy was a first round pick for the Chicago Bears.
That he how Dad he's not playing for the first
round picks.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They're the coolest guys. Every drop.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Sam, the guy's a bomb.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
The great Joe and Rhode Island one of the great
one hit wonders, the my Sharona of the show here,
Joe and Rhode Island called up for like a month.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Roberto called it. Roberto said, Joe and Rhode Island is
not going to be a long term caller.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
We all, I think we all kind of saw he
was going to be a shooting star.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but it was great, well lasted. I mean, we'll
always have those memories. We'll always have those memories of
Joe and Rhode Island. And it was it was absolutely wonderful. Anyways,
the Ben Mallor Show, as we continue on here, I
did want to mention mentions.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I was gonna do a full Mallord monologue on this.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
But yeah, Sean McDermott, when motivational speaking goes back, there's
two things about this story that are very odd to
me and and well we'll get to them. But if
you don't know the story, he'll give you the cliff
Notes version of this or the mallard notes version. So
on a random some podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I've never heard of. I don't know, I don't go
long podcast. What the hell is that? I don't even
know what that is.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Anyway, some fledgling podcast, and this guy told the story
about McDermott's approach to coach Sean McDermott, the in Battled
Buffalo coach, and he talked about the motivational tendency he
ain't pretty much painted a picture that there's a lot
of players in the Bill's locker room that don't really
like Sean dermott and the.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Illustrate the issues here.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And they were talking about how McDermott was trying to
do many coaches do with team bonding.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You know, some people go to an escape room or a.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Top golf for team bonding. Mike Tomlin or Mike Thomlins,
Sean McDermott, he my coaches mixed up. So Sean McDermott.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
This goes back to twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen, and he
was talking.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
About, you know, different things during training camp and all that.
And it's either twenty nineteen or twenty twenty one. I
think it was twenty nineteen, but maybe it was twenty
twenty one. This is a training camp in Pittsford, New York,
a Saint John's Fisher College, and the story goes, according
to this guy who knows if it's the truth, and
I love McDermott apparently confirmed it. McDermott gave him address
(23:51):
to the team, and he told the team that they
needed to come together. And then he decided, I did
to use an analogy to describe what kind of togetherness
they needed, and he used an analogy involving guys with
box cutters who hijacked planes and flew them into the
(24:12):
World Trade Center, which seems a little extreme, didn't really
hit the mark, but he did talk about the hijackers
as a group of people who were able to get
on the same page have teamwork as they were killing
thousands of people. But that's good terrorists. They had good
teamwork they did. I mean, you can't disagree with that,
Tom or McDermott rather was right. McDermott was right. They
did have good teamwork by way, So that got out.
(24:36):
And here is the apology, Yes an apology here is
and again this happened years ago. But here is the
head coach of the Buffalo Bills, Sean McDermott, addressing the
Komodo Dragon on the podcast that he used a nine
to eleven analogy to try to motivate the bills to
be more like your favorite terrorist.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Take a listen, I'm gonna reference the team meeting that
has been brought up. My intent in the meeting that
day was to discuss the importance of communication and being
on the same page with the team. I regretted mentioning
nine to eleven in my message that day, and I
immediately apologize to the team. Not only was nine to
(25:20):
eleven a horrific event in our country's history, but a day,
but a day that I lost a good family friend.
And so with that, I'll turn it over to answer
any questions you might have.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Okay, so the now I know, there's the it's called
the Goodwin's law where if in a conversation, the first
person that mentions Hitler loses the argument.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
There's the debate. You lose the argument when you go
to like the Hitler card is nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Also in that in that category, like you've lost the
argument when you bring up like support nine to eleven terrorists,
which seems like pretty logical that that you would lose
lose the argument. But so he at least he didn't say, like, hey,
the Nazi guards really were on the same page there
back back in the day.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
He didn't do that, but he went nine to eleven there.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
So Sean mcdermot's very randomness least like this came out
this years ago, and this just came out randomly here
sorry on just a typical midweek Thursday and Wednesday Thursday.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I don't very very odd, but hey, welcome to the end. Now.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Sean McDermott will not lose his job for this. He
should lose his job for the way he's coached the
Buffalo Bills. That's how he should lose his job, not
necessarily for this.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Back to the NFL and some quarterback news and Ravens
quarterback Lamar Jackson did not practice for Baltimore because of
an illness, and Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence seem participating in
practice despite the serious looking ankle injury that he suffered
on Monday Night Football. We'll see though, if he can
(27:14):
actually play or not over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
He's not playing and if he plays, he'll be hopping
on a pogo stick in the rain in Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
He'd still be better than Mitch Trubisky.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
What about c J. Bethard, Will you be better than
c J. Bethard. Yeah, CJ Bethort Let's go eat hard
all day, beat hard all night. When you want offense,
you go iowahaka. Well they actually had offense back then.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
He must be old. That's a long time.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
It was fifteen twenty sixteen. They actually had. You know,
they could score a little bit. All right, that's enough,
I would tuk. It's not the iowaman in CJ. Beat hard.
Let's go. Sam's in a good mood. I don't know
why I like to see him do well. All right,
all right, you also want me to do this.

Go on and on about this, mister nice guy says
(28:23):
Bill Maher got fired for saying basically the same thing.
McDermott said, well, yeah, you say, well this guy got
fired played the ipsen butts, candy and nuts game.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Oh yeah, that is pretty much the exact same thing.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, but man mc dermott, he should be fire business
coach this, I mean he failed analogy.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well and heill Marsh said it like two days after
nine to eleven, Brad, I'll let it breathe a little bit,
you know, a little tough then, And this is what
you mentioned.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
This was from what twenty nineteen when he said, well,
either nine I.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Saw one stories at twenty nineteen and another said it
was twenty twenty one. But it was a couple of
years ago at least.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
So nothing like holding onto that story for.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
The right time, I guess strategically, Barry Sean mcder.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Is that.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
The offensive coordinator he fired leaking that out? Dorsey Ken
Dorsey's holding on to a gift.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Card Tyler Dune. Who is that? I don't know who
that is.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I'm just saying Dorsey. Is Dorsey telling people about this
now that he got canned?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Well, I oh, maybe, who knows. I'm going to cash
in my nine to eleven scandal gift card here. It's
been sitting in my wallet for four years. Yeah, you
got to use that. Yeah, doesn't expire, does I guess?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
This guy, Tyler Dune is a longtime NFL and Bill's reporter.
I've never heard of this person. I have no idea
who this person is. Eh, I don't I don't know
what you're talking about. All right, please, please, my god,
let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Sorgia like Georgia Hello.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
I got it right, mister Mala, how are you today?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I get a gold Star Swergia because everyone you get.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Five goals about Ben for the freaking Oh my god, dude,
for the name, Oh my god. Before I get to
my patriots take I just want to give you like
a You guys were talking about desserts earlier, so I
just wanted to give you like a good recommendation. So
Duncan Donuts right now. I don't know. I'm trying to
get to two seventy by the end of the year,
(30:35):
but Duncan Donuts right now they have this whoopee pie donut.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Ben, are you trying to get up seventy.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Down, go down, trying to go down.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
So Ben can help you out with that.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'm just saying that you're saying this day, get just
one a couple, just one donuts.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
One doesn't want this way.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Listen, Ben, but let's let's you know, we're done with
the sweets. Let's get down to business. The Patriots are back.
All right, listen, listen, hear me out, Ben, hear me out.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
He me out.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
All right, I'm back.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I got the plan. Just hear me out. All right,
I'm about to lay out the blueprint. Okay, it's happening,
all right. That is the guy. Okay, we found him,
all right, Max Jones. Unfortunately, I don't know why we
took Max Jones. I don't even think Belichick wanted to
(31:37):
take Max Jones. I think Belichick thinks he can win
with like Joe Flacko. You know what I mean. He
does not value the quarterback position.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
He just realized that. I don't even think he has
realized that he had the greatest human eraser in Tom Brady.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
But hear me out. If we get Marvin Harrison Jr.
In this draft, and if Zach he can put together
a good campaign in this next couple of games where
we can finish the season at like let's say three
and fourteen, four and thirteen still get the top five pick.
I say, we gotta get Marvin Harrison junior. Maybe we
(32:14):
bring in a veteran to we to kind of coach
Zappy a little bit. But I'm happy to say that
we are back. We are back. I mean, think about it,
this Pittsburgh defense. I mean, I know TJT Watt at
the beginning of that game, right, I mean he got
that weird play.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Where like he got hurt, like in the second play
of the game or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Yeah, really is Well, maybe you could make the argument
that the Pittsburgh defense was a little week today and
maybe that Mike Tomlin is probably the most overrated coach
of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
But other than that, can I ask the question now
that you have Zapi mani or Zapi fever, whatever the
locals call it, there, you've got to go right, So
let me let me ask you this now, Sergia, did
you watch the second half?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Okay, so here because because Bailey.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Zappy played well for fifty he played well for thirty
minutes in the second half.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
His passer rating was forty eight point two.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, lisn't he kept the lead? No turnovers. I actually
had the lead. Ben, I'll leave you with he.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Did have a tourney. He threw an interception in the
second half. Sosia, you should you should reserve your your
zap attack license plate right now. That's good.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
You did throw Oh my man, I was working.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Oh my ba, my bet.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
You want to retract your your zapp.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
I will do what most journalists do not do today.
I will track my previous statement.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
So the Patriots need a quarterback still, they need be
I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I'll leave you with this, all right, sword, all right,
I love I had the Patriots under loss. I had
a live bet with the Patriots to cover lost. All right, Well,
how did you how did you wait?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Wait? Wait, because the pay were six point underdogs at
the start of the game, and you had what was
the live bet?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Because they won the game?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
So yeah, but the spread was six and a half
and I was cold, but they.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Were wait wait, but Pittsburgh was Pittsburgh was favored by six.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
But I saw that's the line I saw.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, but theread you won?
