Tennessee Titans and the Miami Dolphins one of two Monday
(00:22):
night football games, and how do you assess two a
tongue of I lois performance from Miami in a surprise
defeat heavy favorites. Where does Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins
football team go from here after losing at home favored
by almost two touchdowns? And what does this performance mean
on the other side for Will Levis and his future
(00:45):
with the Tennessee Titans. We'll talk about that and more
right now here. It is our number one swimming with
the Dolphins and winning welmeme. In the beginning of another

(01:51):
Show be in our headline this hour from South Florida
where the Dolphins. We're riding high in September. They were
riding high in November and all these other months up
until recently, and actually didn't won a bunch of games
in a row. But wow, what a what a game. Well,
we actually had two games on Monday Night football and
(02:12):
both didn't suck. What happened? They were alright, They were
alright game. The Giants upset the package. We're gonna focus
in on Miami baby South Florid as they were played
at the same exact time. Tremendous scheduling by the NFL,
so stupid anyway, biggest point spread of Week fourteen. If
(02:33):
you're a gambler, you knew that the largest point spread
in Week fourteen. The Dolphins expected to toast the Titans,
nice toasty Titans in this game, but obviously that did
not happen if you didn't see it and you missed
what happened here, it was a barn burner. Oo, it
wasn't a barn burner until the fourth quarter. But rookie
(02:56):
will Levis throwing for three hundred and twenty seven that's
a career high. But he's a rookie. Rookie also not
one but tee toe touchdown drives in the final five
minutes actually found four and a half minutes of the
football game, and the Tennessee football team squeeze past the
(03:18):
Fish twenty eight to twenty seven on Monday Night Football.
The Dolphins, who actually were the number one seed in
the AFC, are no longer after that particular losses. They
go down the Titans at five and eight, held to
a tongue of iloa and what was supposed to be
(03:39):
an explosive Miami offense. That was the billing. They held
them in check for pretty much the entire game up
until the fourth quarter. At the three quarters into the game,
it was like, what's going on here? And still even
after Tennessee fell behind, they were down by two touchdowns
in the fourth quarter and then came back and win it.
(04:00):
A couple of big mistakes. The Dolphins dropped to nine
and four on the season. Raheem mostered running for a touchdown.
You had the touchdown of three yards. Also another touchdown
of five yards. So Miami, they were leading twenty seven thirteen.
They end up blowing the lead. They lose by a point.
So let us discuss the better story is in the
(04:23):
losing locker room. Talking about this Miami Tennessee games. We're
gonna start there. How do you assess how do you
assess to a tongue of Iloa's performance for the Dolphins
in this game? So I've got heavy metal band, parachute,
and Huggies and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make sunglasses, which is
(04:46):
what tour is gonna have to wear because you're gonna
want to hide after this performance. May So, how do
you assess to a tongue of Iloa's performance? The Dolphins
did not score an offense if touchdown until the fourth quarter.
They went three plus quarters without finding pay dirt as
an offense. Tua was not only a quarterback, he was lousy.
(05:11):
He was a dog with fleas most of this game.
That was the Tua we remember from early on in
his career and on the Malor report card, Tua gets
the F. He gets the F. That's the reality there
and epic failure. Ta Tunguebiloa looked completely overmatched, completely overmatched
(05:33):
by a middling Mike Rabel Titans. The defense. It's not
like these are good defensive players that they have on Tennessee.
The Titans are just another suck team in the NFL.
And these are normally the games the Dolphins win by
thirty five points. That's why they were such a massive
favorite in this game. But the quarterback tongue of Iloa,
(05:54):
who had been mentioned as an MVP candidate that he's
in the odds you can bet on the MVP at
the different sports books and Tua his name up there.
We can now turn out the last the parties over
on the toua Tongue of Iloa MVP campaign that came
(06:15):
to an end on Monday night, not that it really
was going to lead anywhere anyway. But the same guy
that had lit the fire around the NFL for offensive
football the first couple of months of the NFL season,
to a Tongue of Iloa in this game, he was
a politician. He was the mayor of Barf City as
he barfed all over the field here, and it is
(06:37):
validation that Tua continues to sail to under false colors. Now,
the most amazing part of Tua is that he hasn't
gotten hurt, right, he just waited. After what's happened recently,
You're like, wow, he's gonna get hurt some way. And
he got hurt, so he stayed healthy. That's the good news.
The bad news is it's games like this that m
(07:00):
mind you. He's not the person that stirs the drink
for the Miami Dolphins. So he's a dime a dozen guy.
When you peel back the onion for the Miami Dolphins.
Here you take away the heavy artillery. What do you get?
What do you get? Right? Great players are able to
overcome all of that. And what I saw my and
(07:21):
maybe my TV was brooken, but what I saw from
Tongue by Law is a guy incapable of making players
around him better. Do you see anybody step up around
to it? Did he help anyone step up in this game?
To a tongue of my low and reminded me of
Rock Purty Brock perty is also a guy like this
where you take away a couple of linemen and the
(07:43):
Deebo Samuel, all of a sudden, the guy's a second
rate quarterback. But when he has all those guys, dumb
fans say, oh, he's great, he's wonderful. Okay, Well, the
great players, when you take away a couple of those guys,
they still perform well. Tua did not perform well in
this game, and he like a heavy metal band from
the nineties. You might remember this still around the system
(08:06):
of a down, as in the system gone down, down,
down down, the system quarterback right. Several offensive linemen dinged up.
The center got hurt in this game early on, and Tua,
suffering from halatosis, needed some mouthwash. The way he was
playing in this game, botching it. The Dolphins all they need.
(08:27):
Even at the end the Dolphins got the ball back.
There was like a minute and a half on the clock.
Down by a point. Field goal wins the game. They
take over first and ten from their own twenty six
yard line. All they need to do is get in
the field goal range. These kickers kicked field goals from
like eighty yards away. I might be exaggerating, but you
get the point. I mean the ridiculous kickers here, and
(08:50):
he can't even get them in the field goal position.
He can't even give them a shot for their idiot
kicker to miss a field goal. That's how incompetent tool was.
And then the guy that supposedly a rookie, he's a
rookie that likes his mayonnaise and his coffee. There Will Levis.
He ends up leading two late touchdown drives for the
Tennessee football team. Now page two, here, where does this
(09:13):
Monday night game for Miami? Where does where does this
leave Mike McDaniel and the and the Dolphins? Where do
they go from here? Where do dolphins go from here?
If you're Mike McDaniel at this point, so that's only
one game, and who cares well, I would advise the Dolphins,
and I'm never wrong about this stuff, to get fitted
(09:34):
for a parachute because they're about to go free falling,
free falling, the Miami Dolphins. Holy crap on a cracker.
You look at what's ahead now for the Dolphins, and
I don't want to overreact to be prison of the
mall mead, but you look at the Dolphins here, and
we always hear at this time of the year. It's
not September football. It's not October, October, September, Noveber. Those
(09:57):
early parts of the calendar were people go out and
they light the scoreboard up. The demolition derby has taken over.
By the time we get to this part of the calendar,
the demolition derby has taken over, which means you're no
longer if you're better athletically, you're not gonna just run
by everyone because you've got a lot of bruises and
(10:18):
you're banged up and all that stuff. So you have
to use a little more great, little more moxie this
time of the year. And Mike McDaniel, he better figures
some stuff out quick. Mike McDaniel, right, because this is
the time of the year where they separate the sheet
from the coats. I read that on a bumper sticker
years ago. It is in this case they separate the
Dolphins from the rest of the NFL. But with a
(10:40):
banged up offensive line. Tyreek Hill he did come back
in this game, but fragile Tyreek Hill. Miami also is
moving into the boiling cauldron. They're moving into the boiling
cauldron here. If you look at what's upcoming Now the
Jets are a bad team with a good defense. That's
what's up next for Miami. That game will be in
(11:01):
South Florida. The Cowboys, how about them Cowboys? Now, games
in Florida not Cowboys on the road are not as good,
and they could certainly lose that game, but it's no guarantee.
So you've got Jets Cowboys up next, then a visit
to Baltimore. I'm sure the weather will be great in Baltimore.
And then you have to go and play it home
(11:21):
against the Buffalo Bills, so the Buffalo does benefit then.
I mean, this could not have worked out any sweeter
for Buffalo. Now they're not gonna catch the Miami Dolphins,
but if things really turn sideways, there's like a sliver
of a chance. I think they could really screw up
in Miami. And there's a dimension. I'm not in this dimension,
(11:43):
but there's a dimension where the Dolphins go out and
lose to the Jets because Tua gets twisted into a
pretzel by the Jets defense. They lose to the Cowboys,
go to Baltimore and they freeze their balls off in Baltimore.
They don't win that game, and then and then they
have to go home and play Buffalo, and then that
game will have some meat and then they lose that
They lose every game. Now again I'm not in that dimension,
(12:04):
but that dimension does exist. It does exist. But at
being measured, the Dolphins are looking at least at two,
probably three more losses. At least two will circle the
Baltimore game as a loss, and then the Cowboy or
Jets game, possibly both as losses. So that's three more
(12:28):
losses for the Dolphins, and suddenly that record's not quite
as sexy as it look like it was going to be.
All right, last word here, So where does on the
other side, where does this particular rookie game for Will Levis,
this is a couple of touchdown drives late in the game.
Where does this performance by Will Levis leave his future
(12:51):
with the Titans. Well, obviously it's not a negative. You
can't say it's a negative. It's a positive. It's not
a negative. And so he's still in that audition phase.
The Titans, I would say at this point, even after
this performance, if they can find someone better, they're obviously
going to do it right. They're gonna go out and
get somebody better. You're gonna hear than the usual names
(13:11):
that will be tossed around. Kyler Murray's gonna change teams,
the Alligator Arms Murray, Guy Kirk Cousins if he's healthy,
will change teams. You gotta think the Giants are going
to try to trade Daniel Jones because he blows. Now,
why would anyone want him? But we're gonna play quarterback,
we're lett and so Tennessee they don't have a bona
fide stud quarterback, and so you're like, well, this doesn't
(13:34):
guarantee that Will Levis is going to be the guy
going forward. He's still in the audition face, as we said.
But after that hiccup early in the game, he threw
a pick six if you're watching an early game, and
that's how the Dolphins scored their first touchdown for the
first three quarters of the game, a pick six. But
Will Levis outplayed to it in his building, for whatever
(13:54):
that's worth. He had a dazzling stat line the sexy
numbers over three hundred yards passing. But the most impressive
thing that I saw from sitting on my fat ass
watching Will Levis play quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. If
you check the Huggies all right, if you checked the
Huggies here clean diaper. He didn't poop his diaper. He
(14:14):
has a clean diaper and other quarterbacks to poop the
diaper at the end. Right, he had a chance to
play hero ball at the end and lead the Dolphins
down the field for a game winning field goal, and
he didn't come close, turn it over on downs to
it did now. It also helps that a guy named
DeAndre Hopkins went in the way back machine and played
(14:36):
like it was ten years ago or five years ago
as he ran circles around the Miami secondary seven catches
one hundred and twenty four yards in a touchdown. That
was a vintage performance by DeAndre Hopkins of the Tennessee Titans.

They're hanging a for ghazy banner for that little little
(17:55):
in season. How great is that? Is that not the

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Can't wait?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
What is going on over there? Have they lost their minds?
We'll talk you about that. Next hour, we started with
the Monday Night Football. I'm so glad they played two
games at exactly the same time so we could enjoy
both of them. Why why why.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Did you flip back and forth on that?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I had the two TV? I had one TV, but
I was mostly focused on the Dolphin game. Yeah, and
then because I didn't really have much interest in the
Packer Giants game. But then that became good. That was
like the better game, So I watched that, so I
focused on that, and I was really annoyed. It was
Chris Fowler and that guy that went oh in sixteen
for the Lions was on the on the Miami game.
(18:46):
What's his name? The guy that, the guy that, Oh yeah,
he's the guy that gave Justin Fields the offseason MVP. Right.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I remember him as the guy who ran out of
the back of the end zone during a play.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Well that was with the Lions, wasn't that the sixteen
Lions right now? Was he wearing knee pads then or
only when he's on TV? I don't know, But anyway,
terrible broadcast team, but the game, but Miami looked just
sluggish and clunky and slow and all that, and Tool
looked terrible.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It wasn't like.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
They got They didn't get a lot of breaks too,
I mean picked six fumble. Yeah, yeah, they had a
lot of things go their way.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah. I was actually at the beginning of the game.
It was funny. I was. I was I had to
run an errand so I was listening to the game
on the network radio feed. Oh yes, I was just
like a network radio feed. And they went Westwood one
or whatever they had the game on, and they gave
the broadcasters jinx. They talked about the Dolphins, are you
know or the they were. They gave some stat and
(19:45):
then immediately the opposite happened about the Dolphins, how great
they how efficient they were, how wonderful they were, and
they just in the red zone and they just completely
completely blew it. But anyway, we'll take your calls. And
I'm a little I'm at upset with the guy, Andy
the common book guy, but I see him online. Hello
Andy the comic book guy.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
And to Major League Baseball. Not sure if there's a
Mallard monologue upcoming on this, but we have some interesting
details on the contract of show. Hey, Otani seven hundred
million dollars, but gonna make two million a year for
the next ten seasons and have sixty eight million deferred
until the next ten years. Those payments will be paid
out without interest from twenty thirty four to twenty forty three,
(24:45):
which means that I guess the Dodgers have more money
to spend on. Otani says he wants to win. Yes,
he's helping the Dodgers. Don't spend a little more. Get
some more talent there, Like they need more talent there, Well.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
They need a couple of pitchers. But yeah, there's more
to the story. We are going to get into the
Otani contract, which is another layer of salt for Ardi,
Marino and the Angels that he would have played for
two million dollars a year. Just Pam, did you see
how old you're gonna be Eddie in twenty forty three?
Holy craft, I don't want to look at that. It's depressing,
(25:17):
isn't it? Like when Otani gets his last check, we
might who knows it will still be around Eddie? My god,
you never know.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
It's entirely possible.
Speaker 1 (25:26):

(25:48):
and said, hey, hey, Pat, we got some more commercials
for you to do. We don't like you, We don't
like you being a poudy bitch. You might want to stop.
So apparently he has decided to stop. But Mahomes says
that he regrets having a very famous meltdown with the
referees and Josh Allen that was captured on camera on
(26:09):
his weekly paid radio appearance on six ' ten sports,
the home of the Ben Maller Show in Kansas City.
Mahomes tried to walk back. He was remorseful from his
hissy fit there as yeah, he claims that he realized
you can't do that. He said, you can't be that
way towards the officials. He claimed when the day after
(26:35):
took place. Now there is a conspiracy theory. This was
of course he got upset the Chiefs loss of the
Bills twenty to seventeen, although it looked like they had
won the game or at least taken the lead with
the final seconds on the clock there, but Kadarius Tony
called off sides. Well, there's a conspiracy theory. Why because
there's a rule. Anytime something happens that gets a lot
of attention, there must be a conspiracy theory. Now, I
(26:57):
am not one of these people say none of these
things are true, none of the slings were true. I'm
not one of those people. I believe there are conspiracies
that happened in the world. I'm convinced that the NBA
draft lottery was rigged for Patrick Ewing and the Knickerbockers
back in the million years ago, that Michael Jordan was
suspended for gambling of all things on the NBA and
(27:20):
the NBA made a deal with Jordan to go away,
pretend to retire and go play baseball in Birmingham, Alabama.
I believe that for the middle part of his not
the middle part, but close to the middle part of
his career. So you've got that. I believe that. I
believe the cal Ripken lights out story at Cammon Yards.
Buy that conspiracy. So this one involves some television big shots,
(27:47):
you see. The word on the street is that multiple
CBS employees had sent comments out claiming that Kadarius Tony
had checked with the official to make sure he wasn't
off sides even though he was lined up off sides. Well,
the multiple messages that were sent out from CBS employees
(28:11):
were deleted. They deleted their social media post that claimed
Kadarius Tony had checked with the official to see whether
or not he was off sides or not. And so
if that happened, okay, now, why would you delete the
comments unless somebody, maybe Big Brother from the NFL, said hey,
(28:32):
you gotta you gotta put the kebash on that. And
you wonder what kind of calls or text messages were
exchanged where you're like, I better delete this. And one
of the messages actually came from Tracy Wolfson, the sideline reporter,
who sent a message out from somebody else from from CBS,
(28:57):
this guy Josh Cohen. Uh the guy Uh. He said,
for what it's worth, I can confirm the canarious Tony
looked to the sidelines and pointed as he lined up yeah,
then said I cannot comment whether the official acknowledged or
signaled for him to move back. Uh he he stated,
But that comment deleted, and Tracy Wolfson said, I can
(29:20):
confirm that. He can confirm this. So so said Tracy Wolfson.
So I take that for what it's worth. Let's go
to the phones and we'll say hello to Big Daddy,
who's in Memphis, Tennessee. Hello, Big Daddy.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Sitting hello on all my fans and all my I'm
about like you, Ben, I'm tired of the calling up.
When the team just dict.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Can't find, they go hide.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Then when they win, they want to come out cowboy dann.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Y'all to make it a room.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
When the tainted moved, you can't gout that.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I'll be a rule.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Doing the team moves, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I think I think you should track these people and
force them. That should be their punishment. They should be
forced to call in there. Yeah you don't, well, your
phone's terrible, Big Daddy. Something about eggnog. There's something about
(30:23):
Oh we had the big we had the big ugly
sweater party. We had the big party that I was.
Sam was there, Eddie was there. It was great to
see those guys that were hanging out with us. It
was fun.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Put out for the gifts.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
They still do that. I thought that was you pick
the gift.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I got a gift for you.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Now, now, big Daddy, I have a question. Did you
go to the phone store and say, can you give
me the worst possible phone you have? I would like that?
Did you say can I No, I don't want the
second worst phone. I want the worst phone. Did you
tell them that when you went to get your phone?
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Because I got you bluetoothes.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Big time in me. Look, I know you put what
are you what are you putting on the shelves right now?
Speaker 6 (31:06):
What do you what do you?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
What are you putting on the shelves right now? At
the grocery store? Just look, big bas rot It's not
even the super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
They wearing that rotail now.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
People love. People in Memphis love that. They can't get
enough and they love it.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I'd rather have it with turkey, though.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's your that's your move. You take pretty good with turkey.
You do you approve of that? iOS, Sam, do you
approve of that? What do you say with turkey? I
don't do red meat rotel?
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Yeah, they have it for turkey too.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Is that that the cheese and peppers mixed?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yeah, you had a whole that sounds good.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
I could do that, yeah, yeah, yeah, it depends on
who fixed, because everybody can't fix rotail like they can't
fix spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I didn't think rotel would come up on the show today,
but here we are, you know, the super Bowl, get
ready to come around with us today, the super Bowl.
I was thinking that as a dip, A good dip. Yeah,
besides the kind of tomatoes.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
And chili's and right mixed with like nacho cheese kind
of right, the first I've ever heard of it.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
You add the rotel to the cheese, right, Yeah, I
gotta tell you. I like my I like my cheese
raw I do. I don't need the tomato. You had
the halapenos rocking that day party. I didn't put those in.
I'm a big fan of that. Just hot mais Christmas?
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Hang up? Might not getting in.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I'll probably on vacation week. I'm going, all right, you
bragging about your vacation. I will not be going on
vacation because I committed to a television show during football season,
so there will be no vacation. But I might take
a day or two here or there, but.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
There's no long When the When the Big ten network
launched and fifteen years ago, every other commercial was Rotel
and Velveta as like a dip, like every other carriage.
They must have been the main sponsors for like two years.
Velveta American in Velveta cheese.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Does it get Are they a sponsor of this shell? No?
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Maybe it's still probably sponsoring the Big ten network, I
would imagine, Yeah, Velveta.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Nothing more authentic than Velveta cheese.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know what Brian No likes to how he likes
to make his tacos. Funny enough, I'm not familiar with
his dietary habits. Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
He does the hard corn shell and then the velveta
is cut into cubes. He doesn't even melt it, and
then he has like the tomatoes, and well, I approve you.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Know, as my my friends are from the Mexican heritage.
You've told me that is the gringo way to eat
a taco. But I like the crunchy taco. I've been
on a big pursuit of crunchy tacos. I'm boycotting my
favorite taco place has been Tito's Tacos in La but
they have overpriced their products so much that I refuse
(33:52):
to go anymore. So I've been on the Great Taco Hunt.
We'll find different crunchy tacos.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Anybody that I know of that has a worse palette
than Ben Mallard, it's Brian no.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh compared to Brian no I'm a foodie. My mom, man,
I'm not kidding. When I was a kid, my mom
would make tacos with those the shells you get at
the grocery store, and it's like terrible, right, come on,
they cracked one bite the whole thing.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
True, that's true. That was the worst part of it.
And then you've got the taco night. But that was
then you got the meat sauce dripping down your hands.
You got that's going down your arm and your Now
there is a move you could put.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Your mom probably made or your dad made the food,
but you could put like a layer of cheese at
the bottom trying to slip to lay the meat sauce
from coming down.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
The shell is gonna break either way. Well, see, I
would do my own version of the double decker. You
put the crunchy shell in a tortilla and so that
way when it when it would break, just yeah, you
got it.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I was a two shell guy. I did the two shells.
That was my move back back in the day. It

(37:41):
and then he ate the deer with the deer's own teeth. Wow,
that's weird. Yeah, it's reminiscent of our guy who had

I'm going to go with former dolphin and forty nine
er legend Ted ginn Junior.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Oh, Ted gin Junior, Remember the name. That is wrong.
That is wrong, the correct answer. There's only been a
handful of players that have done in NFL history. If
Tyreek can keep it up and the Dolphins don't throw
the ball a bunch, he'll have that number. But the
question again, Tyreek will leading the NFL in receiving yards
despite playing on a team that ranks twentieth or worse
in pass attempts. I'm the last player to do it.

Tennessee Titans and the Miami Dolphins one of two Monday
(00:22):
night football games, and how do you assess two a
tongue of I lois performance from Miami in a surprise
defeat heavy favorites. Where does Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins
football team go from here after losing at home favored
by almost two touchdowns? And what does this performance mean
on the other side for Will Levis and his future
(00:45):
with the Tennessee Titans. We'll talk about that and more
right now here. It is our number one swimming with
the Dolphins and winning welmeme. In the beginning of another

(01:51):
Show be in our headline this hour from South Florida
where the Dolphins. We're riding high in September. They were
riding high in November and all these other months up
until recently, and actually didn't won a bunch of games
in a row. But wow, what a what a game. Well,
we actually had two games on Monday Night football and
(02:12):
both didn't suck. What happened? They were alright, They were
alright game. The Giants upset the package. We're gonna focus
in on Miami baby South Florid as they were played
at the same exact time. Tremendous scheduling by the NFL,
so stupid anyway, biggest point spread of Week fourteen. If
(02:33):
you're a gambler, you knew that the largest point spread
in Week fourteen. The Dolphins expected to toast the Titans,
nice toasty Titans in this game, but obviously that did
not happen if you didn't see it and you missed
what happened here, it was a barn burner. Oo, it
wasn't a barn burner until the fourth quarter. But rookie
(02:56):
will Levis throwing for three hundred and twenty seven that's
a career high. But he's a rookie. Rookie also not
one but tee toe touchdown drives in the final five
minutes actually found four and a half minutes of the
football game, and the Tennessee football team squeeze past the
(03:18):
Fish twenty eight to twenty seven on Monday Night Football.
The Dolphins, who actually were the number one seed in
the AFC, are no longer after that particular losses. They
go down the Titans at five and eight, held to
a tongue of iloa and what was supposed to be
(03:39):
an explosive Miami offense. That was the billing. They held
them in check for pretty much the entire game up
until the fourth quarter. At the three quarters into the game,
it was like, what's going on here? And still even
after Tennessee fell behind, they were down by two touchdowns
in the fourth quarter and then came back and win it.
(04:00):
A couple of big mistakes. The Dolphins dropped to nine
and four on the season. Raheem mostered running for a touchdown.
You had the touchdown of three yards. Also another touchdown
of five yards. So Miami, they were leading twenty seven thirteen.
They end up blowing the lead. They lose by a point.
So let us discuss the better story is in the
(04:23):
losing locker room. Talking about this Miami Tennessee games. We're
gonna start there. How do you assess how do you
assess to a tongue of Iloa's performance for the Dolphins
in this game? So I've got heavy metal band, parachute,
and Huggies and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make sunglasses, which is
(04:46):
what tour is gonna have to wear because you're gonna
want to hide after this performance. May So, how do
you assess to a tongue of Iloa's performance? The Dolphins
did not score an offense if touchdown until the fourth quarter.
They went three plus quarters without finding pay dirt as
an offense. Tua was not only a quarterback, he was lousy.
(05:11):
He was a dog with fleas most of this game.
That was the Tua we remember from early on in
his career and on the Malor report card, Tua gets
the F. He gets the F. That's the reality there
and epic failure. Ta Tunguebiloa looked completely overmatched, completely overmatched
(05:33):
by a middling Mike Rabel Titans. The defense. It's not
like these are good defensive players that they have on Tennessee.
The Titans are just another suck team in the NFL.
And these are normally the games the Dolphins win by
thirty five points. That's why they were such a massive
favorite in this game. But the quarterback tongue of Iloa,
(05:54):
who had been mentioned as an MVP candidate that he's
in the odds you can bet on the MVP at
the different sports books and Tua his name up there.
We can now turn out the last the parties over
on the toua Tongue of Iloa MVP campaign that came
(06:15):
to an end on Monday night, not that it really
was going to lead anywhere anyway. But the same guy
that had lit the fire around the NFL for offensive
football the first couple of months of the NFL season,
to a Tongue of Iloa in this game, he was
a politician. He was the mayor of Barf City as
he barfed all over the field here, and it is
(06:37):
validation that Tua continues to sail to under false colors. Now,
the most amazing part of Tua is that he hasn't
gotten hurt, right, he just waited. After what's happened recently,
You're like, wow, he's gonna get hurt some way. And
he got hurt, so he stayed healthy. That's the good news.
The bad news is it's games like this that m
(07:00):
mind you. He's not the person that stirs the drink
for the Miami Dolphins. So he's a dime a dozen guy.
When you peel back the onion for the Miami Dolphins.
Here you take away the heavy artillery. What do you get?
What do you get? Right? Great players are able to
overcome all of that. And what I saw my and
(07:21):
maybe my TV was brooken, but what I saw from
Tongue by Law is a guy incapable of making players
around him better. Do you see anybody step up around
to it? Did he help anyone step up in this game?
To a tongue of my low and reminded me of
Rock Purty Brock perty is also a guy like this
where you take away a couple of linemen and the
(07:43):
Deebo Samuel, all of a sudden, the guy's a second
rate quarterback. But when he has all those guys, dumb
fans say, oh, he's great, he's wonderful. Okay, Well, the
great players, when you take away a couple of those guys,
they still perform well. Tua did not perform well in
this game, and he like a heavy metal band from
the nineties. You might remember this still around the system
(08:06):
of a down, as in the system gone down, down,
down down, the system quarterback right. Several offensive linemen dinged up.
The center got hurt in this game early on, and Tua,
suffering from halatosis, needed some mouthwash. The way he was
playing in this game, botching it. The Dolphins all they need.
(08:27):
Even at the end the Dolphins got the ball back.
There was like a minute and a half on the clock.
Down by a point. Field goal wins the game. They
take over first and ten from their own twenty six
yard line. All they need to do is get in
the field goal range. These kickers kicked field goals from
like eighty yards away. I might be exaggerating, but you
get the point. I mean the ridiculous kickers here, and
(08:50):
he can't even get them in the field goal position.
He can't even give them a shot for their idiot
kicker to miss a field goal. That's how incompetent tool was.
And then the guy that supposedly a rookie, he's a
rookie that likes his mayonnaise and his coffee. There Will Levis.
He ends up leading two late touchdown drives for the
Tennessee football team. Now page two, here, where does this
(09:13):
Monday night game for Miami? Where does where does this
leave Mike McDaniel and the and the Dolphins? Where do
they go from here? Where do dolphins go from here?
If you're Mike McDaniel at this point, so that's only
one game, and who cares well, I would advise the Dolphins,
and I'm never wrong about this stuff, to get fitted
(09:34):
for a parachute because they're about to go free falling,
free falling, the Miami Dolphins. Holy crap on a cracker.
You look at what's ahead now for the Dolphins, and
I don't want to overreact to be prison of the
mall mead, but you look at the Dolphins here, and
we always hear at this time of the year. It's
not September football. It's not October, October, September, Noveber. Those
(09:57):
early parts of the calendar were people go out and
they light the scoreboard up. The demolition derby has taken over.
By the time we get to this part of the calendar,
the demolition derby has taken over, which means you're no
longer if you're better athletically, you're not gonna just run
by everyone because you've got a lot of bruises and
(10:18):
you're banged up and all that stuff. So you have
to use a little more great, little more moxie this
time of the year. And Mike McDaniel, he better figures
some stuff out quick. Mike McDaniel, right, because this is
the time of the year where they separate the sheet
from the coats. I read that on a bumper sticker
years ago. It is in this case they separate the
Dolphins from the rest of the NFL. But with a
(10:40):
banged up offensive line. Tyreek Hill he did come back
in this game, but fragile Tyreek Hill. Miami also is
moving into the boiling cauldron. They're moving into the boiling
cauldron here. If you look at what's upcoming Now the
Jets are a bad team with a good defense. That's
what's up next for Miami. That game will be in
(11:01):
South Florida. The Cowboys, how about them Cowboys? Now, games
in Florida not Cowboys on the road are not as good,
and they could certainly lose that game, but it's no guarantee.
So you've got Jets Cowboys up next, then a visit
to Baltimore. I'm sure the weather will be great in Baltimore.
And then you have to go and play it home
(11:21):
against the Buffalo Bills, so the Buffalo does benefit then.
I mean, this could not have worked out any sweeter
for Buffalo. Now they're not gonna catch the Miami Dolphins,
but if things really turn sideways, there's like a sliver
of a chance. I think they could really screw up
in Miami. And there's a dimension. I'm not in this dimension,
(11:43):
but there's a dimension where the Dolphins go out and
lose to the Jets because Tua gets twisted into a
pretzel by the Jets defense. They lose to the Cowboys,
go to Baltimore and they freeze their balls off in Baltimore.
They don't win that game, and then and then they
have to go home and play Buffalo, and then that
game will have some meat and then they lose that
They lose every game. Now again I'm not in that dimension,
(12:04):
but that dimension does exist. It does exist. But at
being measured, the Dolphins are looking at least at two,
probably three more losses. At least two will circle the
Baltimore game as a loss, and then the Cowboy or
Jets game, possibly both as losses. So that's three more
(12:28):
losses for the Dolphins, and suddenly that record's not quite
as sexy as it look like it was going to be.
All right, last word here, So where does on the
other side, where does this particular rookie game for Will Levis,
this is a couple of touchdown drives late in the game.
Where does this performance by Will Levis leave his future
(12:51):
with the Titans. Well, obviously it's not a negative. You
can't say it's a negative. It's a positive. It's not
a negative. And so he's still in that audition phase.
The Titans, I would say at this point, even after
this performance, if they can find someone better, they're obviously
going to do it right. They're gonna go out and
get somebody better. You're gonna hear than the usual names
(13:11):
that will be tossed around. Kyler Murray's gonna change teams,
the Alligator Arms Murray, Guy Kirk Cousins if he's healthy,
will change teams. You gotta think the Giants are going
to try to trade Daniel Jones because he blows. Now,
why would anyone want him? But we're gonna play quarterback,
we're lett and so Tennessee they don't have a bona
fide stud quarterback, and so you're like, well, this doesn't
(13:34):
guarantee that Will Levis is going to be the guy
going forward. He's still in the audition face, as we said.
But after that hiccup early in the game, he threw
a pick six if you're watching an early game, and
that's how the Dolphins scored their first touchdown for the
first three quarters of the game, a pick six. But
Will Levis outplayed to it in his building, for whatever
(13:54):
that's worth. He had a dazzling stat line the sexy
numbers over three hundred yards passing. But the most impressive
thing that I saw from sitting on my fat ass
watching Will Levis play quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. If
you check the Huggies all right, if you checked the
Huggies here clean diaper. He didn't poop his diaper. He
(14:14):
has a clean diaper and other quarterbacks to poop the
diaper at the end. Right, he had a chance to
play hero ball at the end and lead the Dolphins
down the field for a game winning field goal, and
he didn't come close, turn it over on downs to
it did now. It also helps that a guy named
DeAndre Hopkins went in the way back machine and played
(14:36):
like it was ten years ago or five years ago
as he ran circles around the Miami secondary seven catches
one hundred and twenty four yards in a touchdown. That
was a vintage performance by DeAndre Hopkins of the Tennessee Titans.
It is the Ban Mahler Show. If you would like

the biggest name in the NFL. I think we can
all agree the biggest name in the NFL is Patrick
Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes now is backpeddling. Why is Patrick
Mahomey backpedling in Kansas City. We'll get to that and

Speaker 5 (17:31):
Hippers never win the big guess.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No Da, They're gonna win a real championship. You see,
we're gonna talk about this next hour, did you see
the the Lakers? We were all kidding, right, we were
all joking. It was like a gag that the Lakers
were going to hang a banner for winning the inn
season tournament. They're actually doing it. They're actually doing it.
They're hanging a for ghazy banner for that little little
(17:55):
in season. How great is that? Is that not the
greatest thing you've all week? Oh my god? That might
be the story of the year in terms of embarrassment.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Can't wait?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
What is going on over there? Have they lost their minds?
We'll talk you about that. Next hour, we started with
the Monday Night Football. I'm so glad they played two
games at exactly the same time so we could enjoy
both of them. Why why why.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Did you flip back and forth on that?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I had the two TV? I had one TV, but
I was mostly focused on the Dolphin game. Yeah, and
then because I didn't really have much interest in the
Packer Giants game. But then that became good. That was
like the better game, So I watched that, so I
focused on that, and I was really annoyed. It was
Chris Fowler and that guy that went oh in sixteen
for the Lions was on the on the Miami game.
(18:46):
What's his name? The guy that, the guy that, Oh yeah,
he's the guy that gave Justin Fields the offseason MVP. Right.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I remember him as the guy who ran out of
the back of the end zone during a play.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Well that was with the Lions, wasn't that the sixteen
Lions right now? Was he wearing knee pads then or
only when he's on TV? I don't know, But anyway,
terrible broadcast team, but the game, but Miami looked just
sluggish and clunky and slow and all that, and Tool
looked terrible.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It wasn't like.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
They got They didn't get a lot of breaks too,
I mean picked six fumble. Yeah, yeah, they had a
lot of things go their way.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah. I was actually at the beginning of the game.
It was funny. I was. I was I had to
run an errand so I was listening to the game
on the network radio feed. Oh yes, I was just
like a network radio feed. And they went Westwood one
or whatever they had the game on, and they gave
the broadcasters jinx. They talked about the Dolphins, are you
know or the they were. They gave some stat and
(19:45):
then immediately the opposite happened about the Dolphins, how great
they how efficient they were, how wonderful they were, and
they just in the red zone and they just completely
completely blew it. But anyway, we'll take your calls. And
I'm a little I'm at upset with the guy, Andy
the common book guy, but I see him online. Hello
Andy the comic book guy.

forbid we react to what the bills do. The Bills
have showed the world they're amid their another Midley tea.
The Buffalo Bills are a mid leaked teet.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
You got to admit it.

but I've been dealing with my entire timing radio. You
guys are frauds. You call up when things go well,
(22:23):
and when things go bad you have vanished, and you've
always got some for gaisy excuse and it's pathetic.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
I mean, I guess, but go Bill.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Go have a drink or something. Get out of here,
go away. Any of the comic book guy, That was
a civil conversation, A couple of boys talking it issued
a couple of boys talking ball, which is a couple
of guys talking ball. That's all we are. We don't
get too worked up. It's just football. We don't get
too emotional about this at all. Not at all, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
And to Major League Baseball. Not sure if there's a
Mallard monologue upcoming on this, but we have some interesting
details on the contract of show. Hey, Otani seven hundred
million dollars, but gonna make two million a year for
the next ten seasons and have sixty eight million deferred
until the next ten years. Those payments will be paid
out without interest from twenty thirty four to twenty forty three,
(24:45):
which means that I guess the Dodgers have more money
to spend on. Otani says he wants to win. Yes,
he's helping the Dodgers. Don't spend a little more. Get
some more talent there, Like they need more talent there, Well.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
They need a couple of pitchers. But yeah, there's more
to the story. We are going to get into the
Otani contract, which is another layer of salt for Ardi,
Marino and the Angels that he would have played for
two million dollars a year. Just Pam, did you see
how old you're gonna be Eddie in twenty forty three?
Holy craft, I don't want to look at that. It's depressing,
(25:17):
isn't it? Like when Otani gets his last check, we
might who knows it will still be around Eddie? My god,
you never know.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
It's entirely possible.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
That's wild, right, Yeah, man, think about how far down
the road. It is the Ben Mahler Show. This portion

(25:48):
and said, hey, hey, Pat, we got some more commercials
for you to do. We don't like you, We don't
like you being a poudy bitch. You might want to stop.
So apparently he has decided to stop. But Mahomes says
that he regrets having a very famous meltdown with the
referees and Josh Allen that was captured on camera on
(26:09):
his weekly paid radio appearance on six ' ten sports,
the home of the Ben Maller Show in Kansas City.
Mahomes tried to walk back. He was remorseful from his
hissy fit there as yeah, he claims that he realized
you can't do that. He said, you can't be that
way towards the officials. He claimed when the day after
(26:35):
took place. Now there is a conspiracy theory. This was
of course he got upset the Chiefs loss of the
Bills twenty to seventeen, although it looked like they had
won the game or at least taken the lead with
the final seconds on the clock there, but Kadarius Tony
called off sides. Well, there's a conspiracy theory. Why because
there's a rule. Anytime something happens that gets a lot
of attention, there must be a conspiracy theory. Now, I
(26:57):
am not one of these people say none of these
things are true, none of the slings were true. I'm
not one of those people. I believe there are conspiracies
that happened in the world. I'm convinced that the NBA
draft lottery was rigged for Patrick Ewing and the Knickerbockers
back in the million years ago, that Michael Jordan was
suspended for gambling of all things on the NBA and
(27:20):
the NBA made a deal with Jordan to go away,
pretend to retire and go play baseball in Birmingham, Alabama.
I believe that for the middle part of his not
the middle part, but close to the middle part of
his career. So you've got that. I believe that. I
believe the cal Ripken lights out story at Cammon Yards.
Buy that conspiracy. So this one involves some television big shots,
(27:47):
you see. The word on the street is that multiple
CBS employees had sent comments out claiming that Kadarius Tony
had checked with the official to make sure he wasn't
off sides even though he was lined up off sides. Well,
the multiple messages that were sent out from CBS employees
(28:11):
were deleted. They deleted their social media post that claimed
Kadarius Tony had checked with the official to see whether
or not he was off sides or not. And so
if that happened, okay, now, why would you delete the
comments unless somebody, maybe Big Brother from the NFL, said hey,
(28:32):
you gotta you gotta put the kebash on that. And
you wonder what kind of calls or text messages were
exchanged where you're like, I better delete this. And one
of the messages actually came from Tracy Wolfson, the sideline reporter,
who sent a message out from somebody else from from CBS,
(28:57):
this guy Josh Cohen. Uh the guy Uh. He said,
for what it's worth, I can confirm the canarious Tony
looked to the sidelines and pointed as he lined up yeah,
then said I cannot comment whether the official acknowledged or
signaled for him to move back. Uh he he stated,
But that comment deleted, and Tracy Wolfson said, I can
(29:20):
confirm that. He can confirm this. So so said Tracy Wolfson.
So I take that for what it's worth. Let's go
to the phones and we'll say hello to Big Daddy,
who's in Memphis, Tennessee. Hello, Big Daddy.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Sitting hello on all my fans and all my I'm
about like you, Ben, I'm tired of the calling up.
When the team just dict.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Can't find, they go hide.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Then when they win, they want to come out cowboy dann.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Y'all to make it a room.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
When the tainted moved, you can't gout that.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I'll be a rule.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Doing the team moves, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I think I think you should track these people and
force them. That should be their punishment. They should be
forced to call in there. Yeah you don't, well, your
phone's terrible, Big Daddy. Something about eggnog. There's something about
(30:23):
Oh we had the big we had the big ugly
sweater party. We had the big party that I was.
Sam was there, Eddie was there. It was great to
see those guys that were hanging out with us. It
was fun.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Put out for the gifts.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
They still do that. I thought that was you pick
the gift.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I got a gift for you.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Now, now, big Daddy, I have a question. Did you
go to the phone store and say, can you give
me the worst possible phone you have? I would like that?
Did you say can I No, I don't want the
second worst phone. I want the worst phone. Did you
tell them that when you went to get your phone?
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Because I got you bluetoothes.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Big time in me. Look, I know you put what
are you what are you putting on the shelves right now?
Speaker 6 (31:06):
What do you what do you?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
What are you putting on the shelves right now? At
the grocery store? Just look, big bas rot It's not
even the super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
They wearing that rotail now.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
People love. People in Memphis love that. They can't get
enough and they love it.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I'd rather have it with turkey, though.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's your that's your move. You take pretty good with turkey.
You do you approve of that? iOS, Sam, do you
approve of that? What do you say with turkey? I
don't do red meat rotel?
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Yeah, they have it for turkey too.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Is that that the cheese and peppers mixed?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yeah, you had a whole that sounds good.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
I could do that, yeah, yeah, yeah, it depends on
who fixed, because everybody can't fix rotail like they can't
fix spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I didn't think rotel would come up on the show today,
but here we are, you know, the super Bowl, get
ready to come around with us today, the super Bowl.
I was thinking that as a dip, A good dip. Yeah,
besides the kind of tomatoes.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
And chili's and right mixed with like nacho cheese kind
of right, the first I've ever heard of it.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
You add the rotel to the cheese, right, Yeah, I
gotta tell you. I like my I like my cheese
raw I do. I don't need the tomato. You had
the halapenos rocking that day party. I didn't put those in.
I'm a big fan of that. Just hot mais Christmas?
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Hang up? Might not getting in.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I'll probably on vacation week. I'm going, all right, you
bragging about your vacation. I will not be going on
vacation because I committed to a television show during football season,
so there will be no vacation. But I might take
a day or two here or there, but.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
There's no long When the When the Big ten network
launched and fifteen years ago, every other commercial was Rotel
and Velveta as like a dip, like every other carriage.
They must have been the main sponsors for like two years.
Velveta American in Velveta cheese.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Does it get Are they a sponsor of this shell? No?
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Maybe it's still probably sponsoring the Big ten network, I
would imagine, Yeah, Velveta.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Nothing more authentic than Velveta cheese.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know what Brian No likes to how he likes
to make his tacos. Funny enough, I'm not familiar with
his dietary habits. Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
He does the hard corn shell and then the velveta
is cut into cubes. He doesn't even melt it, and
then he has like the tomatoes, and well, I approve you.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Know, as my my friends are from the Mexican heritage.
You've told me that is the gringo way to eat
a taco. But I like the crunchy taco. I've been
on a big pursuit of crunchy tacos. I'm boycotting my
favorite taco place has been Tito's Tacos in La but
they have overpriced their products so much that I refuse
(33:52):
to go anymore. So I've been on the Great Taco Hunt.
We'll find different crunchy tacos.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Anybody that I know of that has a worse palette
than Ben Mallard, it's Brian no.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh compared to Brian no I'm a foodie. My mom, man,
I'm not kidding. When I was a kid, my mom
would make tacos with those the shells you get at
the grocery store, and it's like terrible, right, come on,
they cracked one bite the whole thing.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
True, that's true. That was the worst part of it.
And then you've got the taco night. But that was
then you got the meat sauce dripping down your hands.
You got that's going down your arm and your Now
there is a move you could put.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Your mom probably made or your dad made the food,
but you could put like a layer of cheese at
the bottom trying to slip to lay the meat sauce
from coming down.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
The shell is gonna break either way. Well, see, I
would do my own version of the double decker. You
put the crunchy shell in a tortilla and so that
way when it when it would break, just yeah, you
got it.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I was a two shell guy. I did the two shells.
That was my move back back in the day. It
is the n Mahlords show. Good to have you with

game Monday night. But Tyreek leads the NFL in receiving
yards despite playing on a team that ranks twentieth or

(36:36):
the last player that accomplished that feed over the full

is the answer? And Marty Feldman guessed by Donkey Sausage
that's his answer. Pete in Pittsburgh from Adrian the Pokey

Alph says his fun fact is that this guy shot
a deer, used its teeth to make denuers for himself,
(37:41):
and then he ate the deer with the deer's own teeth. Wow,
that's weird. Yeah, it's reminiscent of our guy who had
his leg bitten off by a gator and then yeah,

(38:02):
do you have an answer ready to the malor question
of the hour?

I'm going to go with former dolphin and forty nine
er legend Ted ginn Junior.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Oh, Ted gin Junior, Remember the name. That is wrong.
That is wrong, the correct answer. There's only been a
handful of players that have done in NFL history. If
Tyreek can keep it up and the Dolphins don't throw
the ball a bunch, he'll have that number. But the
question again, Tyreek will leading the NFL in receiving yards
despite playing on a team that ranks twentieth or worse
in pass attempts. I'm the last player to do it.
The last player to do it Steve Smith Senior back
