(01:03):
Well come, in the beginning of another night of the
Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere on

tire buying should be I know the KC. Carl Holler
(02:07):
smiling ten thousand times after the Thursday night game, and
what a interesting start it was. And that is where
we begin our journey. Here the first time a real
NFL game has been played the New Year beginning. It
did not start on time. It was late, see whether delay.
I'm old enough to remember when they would play no
(02:28):
matter what. But they don't do that anymore. They've been
other for years. Cansa city, the Paris of the Midwest,
home of the NFL lidlifter as Lamar Jackson. The ramis
you know the set up here looking so you get
a pound of a flash. Revenge, revenge against the Chiefs
or that playoff loss. And if you did not watch
(02:50):
the game, you actually miss something. We often say, hey,
we watched the game, so you wouldn't have to because
most of the games blow. But this was a barnburner.
Patrick Mahomes came close to three hundred yards at two
undred ninety one yards passing and a touchdown. The Cansas
City defense bent, but did not break, keeping Lamar, Jackson
(03:12):
and the Ravens out of the end zone on not one,
but two and actually three plays at the very and
final seconds, the clock running down, and so the Chiefs
able to escape Arrowhead by the hair on their chinny
chin chin. They win by a touchdown twenty seven to
(03:32):
twenty and Hardball was planning on going for the win.
In another dimension, he would have gone for two. He
had no chance to go for two. The game ended
with the most exciting play in football, the booth review,
after Jacks Lamar appeared to connect with a defining regular
season touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah likely in the
(03:57):
back of the end zone with no time. I am
on the cart, just liking Hollywood, just lik in Hollywood.
Touchdown Ravens pun further review, Yes, the video clearly showing
that tight end Isaiah likely did not likely get his
feet in bounds. The toe landed on the white sideline.
(04:20):
There the black shoe on the white sideline. It's white
and black, or black and white, or haveever you want
to say it. But the call was overturned. And that's it.
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. A fluster Lamar Jackson,
who was bemused by what happened here and bewildered by
the end of the game, he refused to accept the
(04:42):
ending of the game. In fact, he told the media
after he said that last play, I still think it
was a touchdown, he said, yeah. In fact, just to
prove I'm not lying, we have the audio tip. Here's
Lamar as he's trying to go through all of the
different emotions. They're losing this game.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I thought all the time down he was just open,
and I've seen thirty two and twenty was like turning
to like pursue him when he realized what the ball
is going, so if out the wood so he can
like make a play on it.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I believe it's a two feet down. Well you can
believe that. You might want to go to the eye doctor.
In the morning if they're open, go in there, maybe
through the test the one two threes and the ABC's
not in order. So let us discuss the question. And
really the obvious question is how much is Lamar Jackson
to blame for the Ravens loss? Hey, how much does
(05:37):
he get blamed here? So I've got Van Gundy, Green
Team and Swiss Army knife and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
balloons and cake, which the Ravens do not get because
you see, they lost the game. And when you lose
the game, you don't get the balloons, you don't get
(05:57):
the cake that goes to the other side. So the
first thought I have here is the mainstream media jocksniffers
have already absolved Lamar of any wrongdo it. You know
the people that are on the spectrum there, the low
information I call them the box score readers. Look at
the stats, it's the yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah,
(06:18):
but yeah, but yeah but yeah but look at go
look at the rossing guards. Oh my god, I'm getting horny. Listen,
we're underground media captain of the Overnight Pirate ship. Here,
the general of Degenerates and if we're playing the blame game,
you're passing out the blame crabcake. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Maybe I am wrong. This I don't know. You can
(06:38):
correct me. This is not powder puff football? Am I
right on that? I think I am. It's high stakes,
billion dollar NFL football. Now we are told that Lamar
is lead. He is lely right. You got big trophies
to show for that. So we hold Lamar Jackson to
a higher standard as a two time most valuable play
(07:00):
during the regular season, and therefore he will be judged
more strictly than others. Now, what if I told you
that Lamar Jackson actually would have been bailed out by
Isaiah likely had he kept his twinkle toes in bounds
on that lass play. See we follow the Van Gundy,
the Jeff Van Gundy model. It's a make or miss league.
(07:23):
I realized it's not basketball, same theory applies. And as
I look at my chicken scratch notes here from the game,
if I saw what I think I saw, Lamar airmailed
a couple of crucial throws late in the game. One
of them he claimed he wasn't even trying to throw
to the receiver. It looked like he was thrown to
(07:43):
It was such a terrible throw toss in butchering the clock.
He should listen to me. I am on time, Mallard
by the clock four the clock plausibly all about the clock.
Lamar is not the clock management. So they burned all
these time outs to the Ravens before the two minute warning,
and that allowed the Chiefs to have less plays to
(08:05):
defend because the Ravens were out of timeouts. And there
is some internet conspiracy that Isaiah likely faked an injury
to a shoulder moments before he went up to try
to win the game for the touchdown there because the
Ravens needed a little extra time out. But either way,
that was the cherry on top of the poopy Sunday,
(08:27):
another frustrating chapter in the Book of Lamar action. Jackson
had opportunities, did not come up with the who's going
his fall? Okay call one of those daytime shows. They'll
embrace you although they don't take calls. They don't want
to talk to you all right now now page two
(08:47):
here talk about it impressive or not impressive? Were you
impressed with Dereck Henry his debut as a raven as
a poet. So the much ballyhooed running back coming over
from the Tennessee Titans. Now he did score an early touchdown.
And if you were watching with the audio up, and
(09:09):
I did, I had the audio up. I often turned
the audio down. I was listening to Tarico and collins
Worth and well biased towards the peacock. All of a
sudden last week. I don't know what happened, but something
happened in my life where I suddenly loved the peacock.
But my guy, Chris Collinsworth was gushing, gushing as he
rhapsodized and canonized Derrick Henry. Oh it was nuts. I
(09:33):
think that's illegal in the Bible belt what he was doing.
And it's possible that I might need to go get
my glasses updated. But I didn't see the same thing
that he saw because I look at the full body
of work here and overall this was a Green team performance,
or go the late Dennis Green. Now, if you want
to crown him, then crowner's ass. But he is who
(09:56):
I thought he was. He looked like a plodding back
who lacked explosiveness. Now that's a small sample size, but
this is all we have to go with at this point,
we do the show right now, we do the show tonight.
This is all we have. And Henry had thirteen carries
for forty six yards, and I jotted down how many
(10:16):
times he was absolutely stuffed at the line of scrimmage
or within a couple of yards of line of scrimmage.
And on my chicken scratch, I wrote down seven of
the thirteen carries. More than half of the carries were
for three yards or less. There was a minus one
in there, there was a one yard, a one and
a half yard carry. The longest run Henry had was
(10:37):
nine yards, and he did bupkus in the passing him.
You had as many catches as Derrick Henry did. They
did throw to him a couple times, but he did
not have a catch. Pedestrian numbers that you could have
gotten from any jamoke off the Winnipeg Blue Bombers out
of the Canadian Football lea. All right, now, last word,
(10:58):
we go to the winning locker room. The better story
in the losing locker room. But the Kansas City Chiefs
was that luck was that just hey, they're better in
the multiverse. They like they lost in other dimensions, but
in the dimension I'm in and you're in. They won.
So what are your first impressions of the vintage of
the twenty twenty four Patty Mahomes Chiefs. So the first thought,
(11:24):
I had a little rough around the edges. You know,
they won, and they led pretty much from pillar to
post in this game. Ravens did score early, but once
the Chiefs got on on track, they were in the
lead the majority of the game. But this is prototypical.
The other thought I have is prototypical of early season
NFL the work in progress, because training camp is play
(11:47):
grab ass and you're trying to not get anyone heard,
and you don't really go through any real effort and
energy in training camp to really prepare yourself properly for
the season. It's part of the wissification of the NFL.
So that means the first three four weeks of the season.
You have to prepare during the season on the fly.
And Andy Reid, as he has done many times going
(12:10):
back to those days in Philadelphia, he'll get out the
old Swiss army knife and whittle away the weak spots.
You take the good, you take the bad. Now the good.
Xavier Worthy, who had a touchdown on the ground touchdown
through the air Isaiah Pacheco, the Pride of Piscataway, New Jersey,
and Rutgers still there had a touchdown run the hero
(12:30):
from Graham theft auto Rashie Rice went over one hundred
yards receiving, and the Chiefs offense without Hollywood Brown was
able to hold their own. They weren't amazing. They were
pretty good. Not amazing. Now the bad the defense defense
allowed almost five hundred yards over four and fifty yards
(12:51):
of offense to Baltimore and a lot of third down conversions.
But you take the good, you take the bad, and
you take them both. When I was younger, I heard
those are the facts of NFL life. So that's where
we are, and what we are right now is in
the magic radio box or audio box were however you're listening,
(13:11):
whether it's old school radio AM and FM or you're
listening on some kind of app like the iHeart Apple.
Glad that you have chosen to spend a little bit
of the most valuable resource that you have with us,
your time. It does make a big difference. Otherwise we're
just talking to ourselves. And what fun is that? It's
not any fun at all. We don't want to be
doing that. So we're here with you and we will
(13:33):
open up the phone lines. You want to talk about
what you saw in the Thursday night game and that
final play. Lamar Jackson, Hey, I think that I think
the beat were in bounds. Clearly wasn't. That's called gas lighting,
but he's hey, I thought it was. Okay, you think
what you want to think, and we're all entitled that.
So we'll break it all down for it now. With
(13:56):
that as the backdrop as we get into the meat
of the show. This hour here an hour once a
four hour red eye flight as we take you through
the overnight hours into the wee hours of the morning.
Later on we're gonna have Mallard of the third Degree.
That'll be an hour two. We have the Riddle of
the Day an hour three, Big Bands, Lame Jokes of
the Week. That is where we open up the comedy club.
(14:18):
The amateur joke writers from Chuckles Comedy Club and Ha
haas they all send us jokes throughout the week and
then we compile them and they're mostly just jokes about
Lizzo and weed Man, but sometimes we get jokes about
other people and we'll have that and we have later
on the Coop Scoop on Entertainment, an hour four sports
jeopard If you miss any of this, the podcast will
be up when we get done and you can go
(14:40):
back and hear all of it. But the good news
is you're you're an early responder to the show, so
you'll be here for the bulk of it until you
fall asleep or get bored, but you'll always hear the podcast.
Now an unlikely quote after the NFL opener and what
did Chris collins Worth do to upset television viewers. We'll
(15:01):
get to all that. We'll take your calls also on
X at Ben Mallard, that is at Ben Maller. We'll
get to it all and we will do it next.

The Ben Malor Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on x he's
at Ben Mallar and you can post ad and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the voice of Reason, your
news guy, You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox.
(16:07):
But how I from the tirerac dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
With you all night. Lame jokes coming up in our three.
We are reacting reaction to the Thursday night game. The
NFL seasons underway, and at this moment, Kansas City has
the top record, the back to back Super Bowl champions
have the top record in the NFL, and the team
right now that is in position for the number one
(16:36):
pick in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft is Baltimore.
So that's where we are right now. Maybe they'll not
play any more games, and that's the way it's gonna
work out and flip the penny to decide other draft positions.
But that's as of this moment where we are Chiefs
top record, Raven's the worst record in football. Good news
(16:56):
for the Carolina Panthers they are no longer the worst
team in the NFL. Slim Tim says football is backstoned,
working and listening to the greatest show on radio. Well,
we wouldn't have it any other way, as Eric Spols
would say, would not have it any all their way,
not at all. Random. Ryan in Carolina says Andy Reid
(17:19):
was rumored to be powered by Chrispy Mallard chicken fingers
for the Chiefs week number one a win. Now, I
don't know if he had them before the game, but
I'm pretty sure the Chiefs, and I don't know this
for a fact, I'm not boots on the ground, they
probably are having a big after party over with the
landing there in Liberty and enjoying the chicken fingers, the
Mallard chicken fingers, having a fine time just knocking it
(17:41):
out of the park there. People think Kansas City's home
with a barbecue, but it's really the Ben Mallard chicken
fingers that stand out. Deston writes in says, Ben, you're
the man. Angry Bill sucks at life. Kansas City strikes again.
Maybe white cleats next time. It's all about the cleats excess.
Trucker somehow managed to make it all about him, as
(18:04):
he often does. Sending a message about officiating an eighth
grade football game, he said, fascinating. Love to get into
that more, but probably don't have time. Don't have time
to do that right now, Scrooge says, regardless of how
close the game was, ben aside from the last two
offensive drives, the Ravens got their asses kicked most of
(18:28):
the game. Now, I wouldn't I wouldn't go that far.
I've seen some thumping, and that was not a thumping.
The Ravens didn't play particularly great, but they still they
still were right there. And if they make a couple
of plays, which they didn't Lamar Jackson and Lively and
(18:51):
a couple other people, then they win the game. So
it's the team. There will be teams on Sunday that
don't show up, and I will start screaming at my
television because I'm every game for the TV show, and
I will lose my mind, because someone that I picked
will choose not to show up and will make me
look like a donkey, and I don't want to look
(19:11):
like a donkey. Ryan writes in from so Cal. He said,
I'd have my TV volume down to NBC. Ran off
Al Michaels for Mike to Rico why he's a dull
and boring, Well, I's on Amazon there. I love Al Michaels.
You're not gonna get me to rip Al Michaels. I
don't make to Rico's terrible. He's all right, He's been
(19:33):
around a while. Evil Rat. Now this show we're gonna
get a twenty share because the Evil Rat is listening.
He said. The thunderstorm followed by a rainbow at the
start of the game, we had the game delayed a
little less than a half an hour. There was It
was a perfect way to start the season. And I
want you to know the Evil Rat, even though he's
evil and he's a rat, is happy that football's back.
(19:58):
Happy about that. Dad Gut, who used to call the show,
he's kind of retired from that, but he wants me
to talk about the cheating astros. I know you're fascinated
by them. We will not be doing that, and the
Deadpool guy checks in. He's a big fan of the show.
Listening live. He said, do it live. We'll do it live,
and we are doing it live one thousand percent. And
(20:22):
you can send a message in if you want here
of at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Mahler on X
G Man's in Chicago, where the hype is out of
control for Kayleb Williams says, I appreciate the Mallard monologue.
Game was enjoyable. Not a lot of Kelsey, not a
lot of Swift. They showed Taylor of fair amount. I
don't know what she's talking about. Ge Man's maybe you
were tuned out eating eating some pizza or something like that,
(20:45):
says although the outcomes sucked, if Lamar Jackson had spiked
the ball late, he would have had about twenty five
seconds left, not twelve. He should have had one more
play after the tippy toe play and f Mahomes, says
our man g Man. Now Jason in can Saw City
(21:08):
the Belly of the Beast, he says, ten out of
ten on the Mallad monologue, that was a great opening
game for the NFL. That was pretty good. Yeah, I'm
Benny bright Side Jason on that I usually come in
here and just spit loogies at all these games. But
it is a good guy. I enjoyed it. I did.
It was nice. Yeah, I had a smile. I did. Plus,
(21:30):
I picked Kansas City, so they made me. Look. If
that touchdown had been on the board and the Ravens
had gone for two, I would have lost either way
because the Chiefs were favored by a few points, So
either the Ravens would have won by one or they
would have lost by one. Either way, I lose, so
I would have been ill screwed on that. It's all
(21:51):
about me. That's what Tom Looney, this old grizzly broadcaster
tell me. Make it all about you. Derek Henry was
pretty underwhelming, as you mentioned, says Jason. In Kansas City. Well,
something that was not underwhelming the mouth of Ravens toe
tapping tight end. Isaiah likely a lot happened in the
(22:11):
Unlikely went out of the game. It looked like he
had broken his shoulder and needed his shoulder amputated. Then
he came back in the game shortly after that, and
he leaped up like Superman, flying through the air to
be the hero. And make the game winning catch, which
every kid my age and I still think. If you
grow up in a family loving football as a kid,
(22:33):
whether it was with a nerve football or the duke,
the real football, at some point in your life, either
somebody tossed you the football, maybe an uncle, your dad,
a friend, a cousin, mom, whoever, somebody tossed you the
football and you leaped up and in your head this
was the final play of the game. You had to
(22:54):
catch it, get both feet and bounds, touchdown, and then
you spiked. I did that a million times when I
was a kid, And here's an opportunity. End of the game.
Everyone's watching. It's an Island game, first game of the season.
Isaiah likely goes up, he makes the catch, he comes down.
Oh now, who goofed? I've got to know feed out
of bounds. And then after the game he gave the
(23:15):
mother of all quotes regarding the loss to the Chiefs.
He said, this is probably the worst game that we're
gonna play all year. So if that's the best they got,
I mean, good luck in the postseason polls. Quote. Yeah,
that's now. I'm not a big bulletin board guy, but
(23:37):
that is an odd way to look at the game.
Does anyone think Kansas City played that great? I didn't
think they played that great, yet they still were better
than you. What's up with that?
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Man?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Do you think Chiefs A Hollick was able to watch
the season opener tonight? Super fan of the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, he's new in jail, so I don't know. You
got to I think you spent some time in jail before.
I love this story. I'm gonna mention this later. I
love this. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Ironically, on the night the Chiefs open up the season,
Xavier Barbador my seventeen and a half years in prison.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hey, but he can listen to us.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
We do very well in prisons, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
We're not something to be proud of.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yes, the boys. I am so proud when guys get
out of prison and their first calls to the show,
I am so proud.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I'm beaming with like a father with a baby.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
These guys get out. And when guys get out of jail, Eddie,
listen to the show. They don't go back. They enjoy
the show.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
So much they don't go back, and somehow you don't
remember he was the Chiefs fan who was robbing banks
across the coast middle of the country there and supporting
his h you know, his habit, his habit of going to.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Chiefs some people some people rob banks for the drug
habit or whatever.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
He wanted to go to football while he was literally
the Chiefs like he wasn't lying.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, and he was on social media and the Hold
to Do and robbing smalltown banks at gunpoint actual like
bang bang gun there, not pretending to have a gun
like they apparently when I read if I read it right,
he actually had ad Again, we'll talk more about that
because that is going to be quite the terrific screenplay.
(25:22):
It's going to be just awesome, just awesome. At some
point here it is the Ben Malin Show. Now this
show is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because we'll hear
more about DraftKings and all that has to offer throughout
the show. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Let's have some fun.
What do you say? Fun fact? Fun fact? Fun fact, fun.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Fact, malor fun fact?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
All right, Now, Lamar Jackson in his career has lost
only twenty four games during the regular season. But did
you know twenty one percent of Lamar Jackson's career losses
have come against Patrick Mahomes twenty one against one guy.
And keep in mind the Ravens and the Chiefs do
(26:06):
not play in the same division. And yet Lamar's kryptonite
has been can Za City or in this case, a
tight end unable to keep his feet in bounds right.
And so that's what one fun fact. But I got
another fun fact. I got a bonus fun fact. Hit
it again, Mark, I got a bonus fun fact here.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Malor fun fact.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I used to use this every year. I didn't use
it last year, but I wanted to bring it back
this year. Now that we're underway into Week one. The
NFL has a stat for everything, and I get all
these because of the radio show on the TV thing.
They send me a lot of their propaganda about different
stats and factoids. Since I'm a loser, so I use
a lot of this stuff on the show. The one
(26:52):
that I've used for years, and I want to see
if Eddie remembers this. It is an answer that has
been the answer I think my entire life. The NFL
record for most passing yards in a week one game
in an NFL season. You know who has the record, Eddie?
Speaker 7 (27:07):
It does not ring a bell now.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Really, I thought you would know that. You let me down, Eddie. Sorry,
you broke my heart. I bet Mark Knos, but he's
being bashful, so you didn't want to say the correct answer.
How about Brett Favre, No, you han't.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
No matither Flynn, No, that was not you all.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You all have your head down in shame. How dare you?
Speaker 8 (27:27):
I know?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
The answer is Norm van Brocklyn.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
Ah, the Dutchman.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, the Dutchman. Back in nineteen fifty one. That record
has held up since nineteen fifty one. Of course it
was only one week year to break it. Now, Tom
Brady did go over five hundred yards with the Pats
back in the day, but did not break Van Brocklin's record.
This record is held through how many presidents and whatnot?
How many changes in the world. Nineteen fifty one the
(27:52):
La Rams Norm van Brocklin against the New York Yankees.
Of course that was not the baseball team all. If
he had been it had been a baseball team that
would be Understan. But Norman broccoln had five hundred and
fifty four yards and five touchdowns, didn't have a couple
of interceptions, but that is still the record, all of
these years later, all of them amazing later. Yeah, it's wild,
and especially the last fifteen years or maybe twenty years,
(28:15):
it didn't seem like the last twenty years. It's just
all like a video game now. It's score. It certainly
was when you had Manning and Brady and Drew Brees
in that era where everyone was just putting up a
bunch of points. Philip rivers guys like that man David
the Fridaddy rights and says, if the receiver just lands
(28:36):
and catches the pass, it would have been a touchdown.
But he did that little spin, the spin, he spun
himself right out of bounds.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
How about Lamar Jackson just hit the wide open guy
to play before that?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
You're such a hater, you know, you're such that's why
people hate the mediady. You're so negative.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Oh yes i am. I'm very negative compared to you.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yes, the last bastion of positive, so effing positive. It
is unreal. I mean, it's just absolutely crazy. Now people
upset with Chris Collinsworth. Yeah, and of all the stupid
(29:21):
reasons to be upset with Collinsworth. Now, you would think
the fact that collins Worth and he's been on there
a long time and done fine work, but got a
little bit of hawk too in him when he talks
about some of these star players. But the people upset
that Collinsworth did not do what he is known for
at the beginning of a broadcast. Were you watching the
(29:41):
start of the NBC Slash Peacock broadcast. If you weren't,
you missed the fact that Collinsworth, for years, when he
worked with al Michaels, he did what is known in
the industry as the Collinsworth slide. Were like a total dork.
He slides into the shop, all right, it would be
(30:01):
al Michaels on Mike giving some passionate soliloquy about the game.
And then they widen the shot to a two shot,
and you see collins were through the slide, the electric slide,
and he goes over. But he didn't do it. He
didn't do it. People were upset, why do you do it?
I want the slide, I need the collins Worth slide.
(30:22):
They didn't get the slide. Did not get this. Maybe
he was upset because of the rainbow and all that.
Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to Sonny
Money in the Belly of the Beast. Cans Uh City, Hello,
Sonny Money.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Ben, you got such a great name that I named
my youngest son Benjamin.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
But yeah, great, open to the show. We are here
Celebraton in the Belly of the Beast. Like you said,
I just got a couple of things here.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
And I wanted to get it on the Ben Mala Show. Okay,
we you know the Chiefs fans right now, we're celebrating
the Ravens fans really shouldn't be upset that way, Kansas City, Ben,
it should be Buffalo because Buffalo is the one who
handed us Patrick Mahmes with the tenth overall pick. Buffalo
(31:18):
is the one who handed us Xavier Worthy. So Buffalo fans,
you guys, should be the ones who were really mad
right now. So, as I'm on my way to work,
we're in my warn Moon Chiefs jersey. Yeah, I said,
a Warren Moon Chiefs Jersey number one. I think I'm
gonna put Worthy on the back of it. Today I
was thinking about the Ravens fans, and I'm thinking about
(31:40):
the Bills fans, and the Bills fans should be mad,
and the Ravens fans should be equally mad. And the
great words of John Goodman and the Big Lebowski. You
want to toe, I can get you a toe free,
my boy, Chiefs keep rolling, ben.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Hey, all right, thank you, Sony. It's shouted to me
like he's not a native of Kansas City. And he
hung off. That was like a Rome style call, right,
you know, rack him, yeah, rack him, you know, grab
a vine. So but it sounded like a good callers.
He was so excited he couldn't wait for the Jim
Romes tray to call our show, which I'm fine with.
I'm fine with that. Didn't it sound like he was
from like western Pennsylvania. The a little accent to him,
(32:21):
somewhere in Pennsylvania, maybe a Yinzer, maybe closer to Philly.
It sounded to me like he had like a Pennsylvania
dialect tool. Am I the only one that thought that? Maybe?
I'm the only one that thought that. I just when
he was talking, it sounded like he's not from from
Kansas City. Not that it matters where he's from. He's
obviously living there. He's a Chief saying he's going to
work right now. So Sonny Money checking in. Good for him.
(32:47):
Uh time now for the who am I? Game? And
this is somebody that's Sunny Money just mentioned Xavier Worthy?
Are we worthy? The Chiefs wide receiver xavi'er Worthy joined
me as the only players and they have a twenty
plus yard rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown in their NFL debut. Again,
(33:08):
we got history here, kids, Xavier Worthy of Cansau City
joining me as the only players in NFL history. They
have a twenty plus rushing yard touchdown and receiving touchdown
in their NFL debut. Who am I? That is the question?
(33:29):
The answer, We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

don't know, but anyway, tention advertisers, Hey, here's the who
Am I Game? Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy join me
as the only player or only players in NFL history
to have a twenty plus yard rushing touchdown and receiving
touchdown in their NFL debut. Who am I? That is
(35:18):
the question? What is the answer? And let's see does
anyone know the answer? Malard prop guy, very nice man.
We met him, he was in studio. In the studio audience,
he went with the Art Donovan as his answer. Terry
in England says, is it an accurate pass? Texas Trucker?
(35:39):
Jose Alboovey the Cheater is his answer. Cowboy Killer says
it has to be Heathcliff. Yes, the great Heathcliff find cartoon.
So was mister Magoo from courtesy Flusher Better Cartoon Heathcliff
or mister macgoo. I like the name, mister mcgoom Moore,
I need to use that in my lexicon. Mister McGoo,
(36:01):
I think that's a good name. John McEnroe from Milkman,
Mike and Colorado, Chuck Foreman, Viking Legend from The Midnight Walker,
Matt the Warrior, Raider fan going with an iconic old

Taylor from ARIEK The Viking Legend. Let's see here for
Josh Alexibliscus, also by Shane Percy Harvin from Abby the
Mariner fan. All right, what say you Eddie again? The
questions AAVI, You're worthy of the Chiefs. He joined me
as the only players in NFL history with twenty plus
yard rushing touchdowns and receiving touchdowns in their NFL debut.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Well it's another former Chief Bend running back Barry Word.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Oh good name, wrong answer, No one could get this right.
The correct answer is someone named James brim He was
a replacement player for the Vikings in nineteen eighty seven.
He played three NFL games. That's it, three of them.
James Brim good to the last drop.

tire buying should be I know the KC. Carl Holler
(02:07):
smiling ten thousand times after the Thursday night game, and
what a interesting start it was. And that is where
we begin our journey. Here the first time a real
NFL game has been played the New Year beginning. It
did not start on time. It was late, see whether delay.
I'm old enough to remember when they would play no
(02:28):
matter what. But they don't do that anymore. They've been
other for years. Cansa city, the Paris of the Midwest,
home of the NFL lidlifter as Lamar Jackson. The ramis
you know the set up here looking so you get
a pound of a flash. Revenge, revenge against the Chiefs
or that playoff loss. And if you did not watch
(02:50):
the game, you actually miss something. We often say, hey,
we watched the game, so you wouldn't have to because
most of the games blow. But this was a barnburner.
Patrick Mahomes came close to three hundred yards at two
undred ninety one yards passing and a touchdown. The Cansas
City defense bent, but did not break, keeping Lamar, Jackson
(03:12):
and the Ravens out of the end zone on not one,
but two and actually three plays at the very and
final seconds, the clock running down, and so the Chiefs
able to escape Arrowhead by the hair on their chinny
chin chin. They win by a touchdown twenty seven to
(03:32):
twenty and Hardball was planning on going for the win.
In another dimension, he would have gone for two. He
had no chance to go for two. The game ended
with the most exciting play in football, the booth review,
after Jacks Lamar appeared to connect with a defining regular
season touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah likely in the
(03:57):
back of the end zone with no time. I am
on the cart, just liking Hollywood, just lik in Hollywood.
Touchdown Ravens pun further review, Yes, the video clearly showing
that tight end Isaiah likely did not likely get his
feet in bounds. The toe landed on the white sideline.
(04:20):
There the black shoe on the white sideline. It's white
and black, or black and white, or haveever you want
to say it. But the call was overturned. And that's it.
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. A fluster Lamar Jackson,
who was bemused by what happened here and bewildered by
the end of the game, he refused to accept the
(04:42):
ending of the game. In fact, he told the media
after he said that last play, I still think it
was a touchdown, he said, yeah. In fact, just to
prove I'm not lying, we have the audio tip. Here's
Lamar as he's trying to go through all of the
different emotions. They're losing this game.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I thought all the time down he was just open,
and I've seen thirty two and twenty was like turning
to like pursue him when he realized what the ball
is going, so if out the wood so he can
like make a play on it.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I believe it's a two feet down. Well you can
believe that. You might want to go to the eye doctor.
In the morning if they're open, go in there, maybe
through the test the one two threes and the ABC's
not in order. So let us discuss the question. And
really the obvious question is how much is Lamar Jackson
to blame for the Ravens loss? Hey, how much does
(05:37):
he get blamed here? So I've got Van Gundy, Green
Team and Swiss Army knife and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
balloons and cake, which the Ravens do not get because
you see, they lost the game. And when you lose
the game, you don't get the balloons, you don't get
(05:57):
the cake that goes to the other side. So the
first thought I have here is the mainstream media jocksniffers
have already absolved Lamar of any wrongdo it. You know
the people that are on the spectrum there, the low
information I call them the box score readers. Look at
the stats, it's the yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah,
(06:18):
but yeah, but yeah but yeah but look at go
look at the rossing guards. Oh my god, I'm getting horny. Listen,
we're underground media captain of the Overnight Pirate ship. Here,
the general of Degenerates and if we're playing the blame game,
you're passing out the blame crabcake. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Maybe I am wrong. This I don't know. You can
(06:38):
correct me. This is not powder puff football? Am I
right on that? I think I am. It's high stakes,
billion dollar NFL football. Now we are told that Lamar
is lead. He is lely right. You got big trophies
to show for that. So we hold Lamar Jackson to
a higher standard as a two time most valuable play
(07:00):
during the regular season, and therefore he will be judged
more strictly than others. Now, what if I told you
that Lamar Jackson actually would have been bailed out by
Isaiah likely had he kept his twinkle toes in bounds
on that lass play. See we follow the Van Gundy,
the Jeff Van Gundy model. It's a make or miss league.
(07:23):
I realized it's not basketball, same theory applies. And as
I look at my chicken scratch notes here from the game,
if I saw what I think I saw, Lamar airmailed
a couple of crucial throws late in the game. One
of them he claimed he wasn't even trying to throw
to the receiver. It looked like he was thrown to
(07:43):
It was such a terrible throw toss in butchering the clock.
He should listen to me. I am on time, Mallard
by the clock four the clock plausibly all about the clock.
Lamar is not the clock management. So they burned all
these time outs to the Ravens before the two minute warning,
and that allowed the Chiefs to have less plays to
(08:05):
defend because the Ravens were out of timeouts. And there
is some internet conspiracy that Isaiah likely faked an injury
to a shoulder moments before he went up to try
to win the game for the touchdown there because the
Ravens needed a little extra time out. But either way,
that was the cherry on top of the poopy Sunday,
(08:27):
another frustrating chapter in the Book of Lamar action. Jackson
had opportunities, did not come up with the who's going
his fall? Okay call one of those daytime shows. They'll
embrace you although they don't take calls. They don't want
to talk to you all right now now page two
(08:47):
here talk about it impressive or not impressive? Were you
impressed with Dereck Henry his debut as a raven as
a poet. So the much ballyhooed running back coming over
from the Tennessee Titans. Now he did score an early touchdown.
And if you were watching with the audio up, and
(09:09):
I did, I had the audio up. I often turned
the audio down. I was listening to Tarico and collins
Worth and well biased towards the peacock. All of a
sudden last week. I don't know what happened, but something
happened in my life where I suddenly loved the peacock.
But my guy, Chris Collinsworth was gushing, gushing as he
rhapsodized and canonized Derrick Henry. Oh it was nuts. I
(09:33):
think that's illegal in the Bible belt what he was doing.
And it's possible that I might need to go get
my glasses updated. But I didn't see the same thing
that he saw because I look at the full body
of work here and overall this was a Green team performance,
or go the late Dennis Green. Now, if you want
to crown him, then crowner's ass. But he is who
(09:56):
I thought he was. He looked like a plodding back
who lacked explosiveness. Now that's a small sample size, but
this is all we have to go with at this point,
we do the show right now, we do the show tonight.
This is all we have. And Henry had thirteen carries
for forty six yards, and I jotted down how many
(10:16):
times he was absolutely stuffed at the line of scrimmage
or within a couple of yards of line of scrimmage.
And on my chicken scratch, I wrote down seven of
the thirteen carries. More than half of the carries were
for three yards or less. There was a minus one
in there, there was a one yard, a one and
a half yard carry. The longest run Henry had was
(10:37):
nine yards, and he did bupkus in the passing him.
You had as many catches as Derrick Henry did. They
did throw to him a couple times, but he did
not have a catch. Pedestrian numbers that you could have
gotten from any jamoke off the Winnipeg Blue Bombers out
of the Canadian Football lea. All right, now, last word,
(10:58):
we go to the winning locker room. The better story
in the losing locker room. But the Kansas City Chiefs
was that luck was that just hey, they're better in
the multiverse. They like they lost in other dimensions, but
in the dimension I'm in and you're in. They won.
So what are your first impressions of the vintage of
the twenty twenty four Patty Mahomes Chiefs. So the first thought,
(11:24):
I had a little rough around the edges. You know,
they won, and they led pretty much from pillar to
post in this game. Ravens did score early, but once
the Chiefs got on on track, they were in the
lead the majority of the game. But this is prototypical.
The other thought I have is prototypical of early season
NFL the work in progress, because training camp is play
(11:47):
grab ass and you're trying to not get anyone heard,
and you don't really go through any real effort and
energy in training camp to really prepare yourself properly for
the season. It's part of the wissification of the NFL.
So that means the first three four weeks of the season.
You have to prepare during the season on the fly.
And Andy Reid, as he has done many times going
(12:10):
back to those days in Philadelphia, he'll get out the
old Swiss army knife and whittle away the weak spots.
You take the good, you take the bad. Now the good.
Xavier Worthy, who had a touchdown on the ground touchdown
through the air Isaiah Pacheco, the Pride of Piscataway, New Jersey,
and Rutgers still there had a touchdown run the hero
(12:30):
from Graham theft auto Rashie Rice went over one hundred
yards receiving, and the Chiefs offense without Hollywood Brown was
able to hold their own. They weren't amazing. They were
pretty good. Not amazing. Now the bad the defense defense
allowed almost five hundred yards over four and fifty yards
(12:51):
of offense to Baltimore and a lot of third down conversions.
But you take the good, you take the bad, and
you take them both. When I was younger, I heard
those are the facts of NFL life. So that's where
we are, and what we are right now is in
the magic radio box or audio box were however you're listening,
(13:11):
whether it's old school radio AM and FM or you're
listening on some kind of app like the iHeart Apple.
Glad that you have chosen to spend a little bit
of the most valuable resource that you have with us,
your time. It does make a big difference. Otherwise we're
just talking to ourselves. And what fun is that? It's
not any fun at all. We don't want to be
doing that. So we're here with you and we will
(13:33):
open up the phone lines. You want to talk about
what you saw in the Thursday night game and that
final play. Lamar Jackson, Hey, I think that I think
the beat were in bounds. Clearly wasn't. That's called gas lighting,
but he's hey, I thought it was. Okay, you think
what you want to think, and we're all entitled that.
So we'll break it all down for it now. With
(13:56):
that as the backdrop as we get into the meat
of the show. This hour here an hour once a
four hour red eye flight as we take you through
the overnight hours into the wee hours of the morning.
Later on we're gonna have Mallard of the third Degree.
That'll be an hour two. We have the Riddle of
the Day an hour three, Big Bands, Lame Jokes of
the Week. That is where we open up the comedy club.
(14:18):
The amateur joke writers from Chuckles Comedy Club and Ha
haas they all send us jokes throughout the week and
then we compile them and they're mostly just jokes about
Lizzo and weed Man, but sometimes we get jokes about
other people and we'll have that and we have later
on the Coop Scoop on Entertainment, an hour four sports
jeopard If you miss any of this, the podcast will
be up when we get done and you can go
(14:40):
back and hear all of it. But the good news
is you're you're an early responder to the show, so
you'll be here for the bulk of it until you
fall asleep or get bored, but you'll always hear the podcast.
Now an unlikely quote after the NFL opener and what
did Chris collins Worth do to upset television viewers. We'll
(15:01):
get to all that. We'll take your calls also on
X at Ben Mallard, that is at Ben Maller. We'll

(16:07):
But how I from the tirerac dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
With you all night. Lame jokes coming up in our three.
We are reacting reaction to the Thursday night game. The
NFL seasons underway, and at this moment, Kansas City has
the top record, the back to back Super Bowl champions
have the top record in the NFL, and the team
right now that is in position for the number one
(16:36):
pick in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft is Baltimore.
So that's where we are right now. Maybe they'll not
play any more games, and that's the way it's gonna
work out and flip the penny to decide other draft positions.
But that's as of this moment where we are Chiefs
top record, Raven's the worst record in football. Good news
(16:56):
for the Carolina Panthers they are no longer the worst
team in the NFL. Slim Tim says football is backstoned,
working and listening to the greatest show on radio. Well,
we wouldn't have it any other way, as Eric Spols
would say, would not have it any all their way,
not at all. Random. Ryan in Carolina says Andy Reid
(17:19):
was rumored to be powered by Chrispy Mallard chicken fingers
for the Chiefs week number one a win. Now, I
don't know if he had them before the game, but
I'm pretty sure the Chiefs, and I don't know this
for a fact, I'm not boots on the ground, they
probably are having a big after party over with the
landing there in Liberty and enjoying the chicken fingers, the
Mallard chicken fingers, having a fine time just knocking it
(17:41):
out of the park there. People think Kansas City's home
with a barbecue, but it's really the Ben Mallard chicken
fingers that stand out. Deston writes in says, Ben, you're
the man. Angry Bill sucks at life. Kansas City strikes again.
Maybe white cleats next time. It's all about the cleats excess.
Trucker somehow managed to make it all about him, as
(18:04):
he often does. Sending a message about officiating an eighth
grade football game, he said, fascinating. Love to get into
that more, but probably don't have time. Don't have time
to do that right now, Scrooge says, regardless of how
close the game was, ben aside from the last two
offensive drives, the Ravens got their asses kicked most of
(18:28):
the game. Now, I wouldn't I wouldn't go that far.
I've seen some thumping, and that was not a thumping.
The Ravens didn't play particularly great, but they still they
still were right there. And if they make a couple
of plays, which they didn't Lamar Jackson and Lively and
(18:51):
a couple other people, then they win the game. So
it's the team. There will be teams on Sunday that
don't show up, and I will start screaming at my
television because I'm every game for the TV show, and
I will lose my mind, because someone that I picked
will choose not to show up and will make me
look like a donkey, and I don't want to look
(19:11):
like a donkey. Ryan writes in from so Cal. He said,
I'd have my TV volume down to NBC. Ran off
Al Michaels for Mike to Rico why he's a dull
and boring, Well, I's on Amazon there. I love Al Michaels.
You're not gonna get me to rip Al Michaels. I
don't make to Rico's terrible. He's all right, He's been
(19:33):
around a while. Evil Rat. Now this show we're gonna
get a twenty share because the Evil Rat is listening.
He said. The thunderstorm followed by a rainbow at the
start of the game, we had the game delayed a
little less than a half an hour. There was It
was a perfect way to start the season. And I
want you to know the Evil Rat, even though he's
evil and he's a rat, is happy that football's back.
(19:58):
Happy about that. Dad Gut, who used to call the show,
he's kind of retired from that, but he wants me
to talk about the cheating astros. I know you're fascinated
by them. We will not be doing that, and the
Deadpool guy checks in. He's a big fan of the show.
Listening live. He said, do it live. We'll do it live,
and we are doing it live one thousand percent. And
(20:22):
you can send a message in if you want here
of at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Mahler on X
G Man's in Chicago, where the hype is out of
control for Kayleb Williams says, I appreciate the Mallard monologue.
Game was enjoyable. Not a lot of Kelsey, not a
lot of Swift. They showed Taylor of fair amount. I
don't know what she's talking about. Ge Man's maybe you
were tuned out eating eating some pizza or something like that,
(20:45):
says although the outcomes sucked, if Lamar Jackson had spiked
the ball late, he would have had about twenty five
seconds left, not twelve. He should have had one more
play after the tippy toe play and f Mahomes, says
our man g Man. Now Jason in can Saw City
(21:08):
the Belly of the Beast, he says, ten out of
ten on the Mallad monologue, that was a great opening
game for the NFL. That was pretty good. Yeah, I'm
Benny bright Side Jason on that I usually come in
here and just spit loogies at all these games. But
it is a good guy. I enjoyed it. I did.
It was nice. Yeah, I had a smile. I did. Plus,
(21:30):
I picked Kansas City, so they made me. Look. If
that touchdown had been on the board and the Ravens
had gone for two, I would have lost either way
because the Chiefs were favored by a few points, So
either the Ravens would have won by one or they
would have lost by one. Either way, I lose, so
I would have been ill screwed on that. It's all
(21:51):
about me. That's what Tom Looney, this old grizzly broadcaster
tell me. Make it all about you. Derek Henry was
pretty underwhelming, as you mentioned, says Jason. In Kansas City. Well,
something that was not underwhelming the mouth of Ravens toe
tapping tight end. Isaiah likely a lot happened in the
(22:11):
Unlikely went out of the game. It looked like he
had broken his shoulder and needed his shoulder amputated. Then
he came back in the game shortly after that, and
he leaped up like Superman, flying through the air to
be the hero. And make the game winning catch, which
every kid my age and I still think. If you
grow up in a family loving football as a kid,
(22:33):
whether it was with a nerve football or the duke,
the real football, at some point in your life, either
somebody tossed you the football, maybe an uncle, your dad,
a friend, a cousin, mom, whoever, somebody tossed you the
football and you leaped up and in your head this
was the final play of the game. You had to
(22:54):
catch it, get both feet and bounds, touchdown, and then
you spiked. I did that a million times when I
was a kid, And here's an opportunity. End of the game.
Everyone's watching. It's an Island game, first game of the season.
Isaiah likely goes up, he makes the catch, he comes down.
Oh now, who goofed? I've got to know feed out
of bounds. And then after the game he gave the
(23:15):
mother of all quotes regarding the loss to the Chiefs.
He said, this is probably the worst game that we're
gonna play all year. So if that's the best they got,
I mean, good luck in the postseason polls. Quote. Yeah,
that's now. I'm not a big bulletin board guy, but
(23:37):
that is an odd way to look at the game.
Does anyone think Kansas City played that great? I didn't
think they played that great, yet they still were better
than you. What's up with that?
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Man?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Do you think Chiefs A Hollick was able to watch
the season opener tonight? Super fan of the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, he's new in jail, so I don't know. You
got to I think you spent some time in jail before.
I love this story. I'm gonna mention this later. I
love this. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Ironically, on the night the Chiefs open up the season,
Xavier Barbador my seventeen and a half years in prison.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hey, but he can listen to us.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
We do very well in prisons, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
We're not something to be proud of.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yes, the boys. I am so proud when guys get
out of prison and their first calls to the show,
I am so proud.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I'm beaming with like a father with a baby.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
These guys get out. And when guys get out of jail, Eddie,
listen to the show. They don't go back. They enjoy
the show.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
So much they don't go back, and somehow you don't
remember he was the Chiefs fan who was robbing banks
across the coast middle of the country there and supporting
his h you know, his habit, his habit of going to.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Chiefs some people some people rob banks for the drug
habit or whatever.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
He wanted to go to football while he was literally
the Chiefs like he wasn't lying.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, and he was on social media and the Hold
to Do and robbing smalltown banks at gunpoint actual like
bang bang gun there, not pretending to have a gun
like they apparently when I read if I read it right,
he actually had ad Again, we'll talk more about that
because that is going to be quite the terrific screenplay.
(25:22):
It's going to be just awesome, just awesome. At some
point here it is the Ben Malin Show. Now this
show is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because we'll hear
more about DraftKings and all that has to offer throughout
the show. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Let's have some fun.
What do you say? Fun fact? Fun fact? Fun fact, fun.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Fact, malor fun fact?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
All right, Now, Lamar Jackson in his career has lost
only twenty four games during the regular season. But did
you know twenty one percent of Lamar Jackson's career losses
have come against Patrick Mahomes twenty one against one guy.
And keep in mind the Ravens and the Chiefs do
(26:06):
not play in the same division. And yet Lamar's kryptonite
has been can Za City or in this case, a
tight end unable to keep his feet in bounds right.
And so that's what one fun fact. But I got
another fun fact. I got a bonus fun fact. Hit
it again, Mark, I got a bonus fun fact here.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Malor fun fact.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I used to use this every year. I didn't use
it last year, but I wanted to bring it back
this year. Now that we're underway into Week one. The
NFL has a stat for everything, and I get all
these because of the radio show on the TV thing.
They send me a lot of their propaganda about different
stats and factoids. Since I'm a loser, so I use
a lot of this stuff on the show. The one
(26:52):
that I've used for years, and I want to see
if Eddie remembers this. It is an answer that has
been the answer I think my entire life. The NFL
record for most passing yards in a week one game
in an NFL season. You know who has the record, Eddie?
Speaker 7 (27:07):
It does not ring a bell now.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Really, I thought you would know that. You let me down, Eddie. Sorry,
you broke my heart. I bet Mark Knos, but he's
being bashful, so you didn't want to say the correct answer.
How about Brett Favre, No, you han't.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
No matither Flynn, No, that was not you all.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You all have your head down in shame. How dare you?
Speaker 8 (27:27):
I know?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
The answer is Norm van Brocklyn.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
Ah, the Dutchman.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, the Dutchman. Back in nineteen fifty one. That record
has held up since nineteen fifty one. Of course it
was only one week year to break it. Now, Tom
Brady did go over five hundred yards with the Pats
back in the day, but did not break Van Brocklin's record.
This record is held through how many presidents and whatnot?
How many changes in the world. Nineteen fifty one the
(27:52):
La Rams Norm van Brocklin against the New York Yankees.
Of course that was not the baseball team all. If
he had been it had been a baseball team that
would be Understan. But Norman broccoln had five hundred and
fifty four yards and five touchdowns, didn't have a couple
of interceptions, but that is still the record, all of
these years later, all of them amazing later. Yeah, it's wild,
and especially the last fifteen years or maybe twenty years,
(28:15):
it didn't seem like the last twenty years. It's just
all like a video game now. It's score. It certainly
was when you had Manning and Brady and Drew Brees
in that era where everyone was just putting up a
bunch of points. Philip rivers guys like that man David
the Fridaddy rights and says, if the receiver just lands
(28:36):
and catches the pass, it would have been a touchdown.
But he did that little spin, the spin, he spun
himself right out of bounds.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
How about Lamar Jackson just hit the wide open guy
to play before that?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
You're such a hater, you know, you're such that's why
people hate the mediady. You're so negative.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Oh yes i am. I'm very negative compared to you.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yes, the last bastion of positive, so effing positive. It
is unreal. I mean, it's just absolutely crazy. Now people
upset with Chris Collinsworth. Yeah, and of all the stupid
(29:21):
reasons to be upset with Collinsworth. Now, you would think
the fact that collins Worth and he's been on there
a long time and done fine work, but got a
little bit of hawk too in him when he talks
about some of these star players. But the people upset
that Collinsworth did not do what he is known for
at the beginning of a broadcast. Were you watching the
(29:41):
start of the NBC Slash Peacock broadcast. If you weren't,
you missed the fact that Collinsworth, for years, when he
worked with al Michaels, he did what is known in
the industry as the Collinsworth slide. Were like a total dork.
He slides into the shop, all right, it would be
(30:01):
al Michaels on Mike giving some passionate soliloquy about the game.
And then they widen the shot to a two shot,
and you see collins were through the slide, the electric slide,
and he goes over. But he didn't do it. He
didn't do it. People were upset, why do you do it?
I want the slide, I need the collins Worth slide.
(30:22):
They didn't get the slide. Did not get this. Maybe
he was upset because of the rainbow and all that.
Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to Sonny
Money in the Belly of the Beast. Cans Uh City, Hello,
Sonny Money.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Ben, you got such a great name that I named
my youngest son Benjamin.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
But yeah, great, open to the show. We are here
Celebraton in the Belly of the Beast. Like you said,
I just got a couple of things here.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
And I wanted to get it on the Ben Mala Show. Okay,
we you know the Chiefs fans right now, we're celebrating
the Ravens fans really shouldn't be upset that way, Kansas City, Ben,
it should be Buffalo because Buffalo is the one who
handed us Patrick Mahmes with the tenth overall pick. Buffalo
(31:18):
is the one who handed us Xavier Worthy. So Buffalo fans,
you guys, should be the ones who were really mad
right now. So, as I'm on my way to work,
we're in my warn Moon Chiefs jersey. Yeah, I said,
a Warren Moon Chiefs Jersey number one. I think I'm
gonna put Worthy on the back of it. Today I
was thinking about the Ravens fans, and I'm thinking about
(31:40):
the Bills fans, and the Bills fans should be mad,
and the Ravens fans should be equally mad. And the
great words of John Goodman and the Big Lebowski. You
want to toe, I can get you a toe free,
my boy, Chiefs keep rolling, ben.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Hey, all right, thank you, Sony. It's shouted to me
like he's not a native of Kansas City. And he
hung off. That was like a Rome style call, right,
you know, rack him, yeah, rack him, you know, grab
a vine. So but it sounded like a good callers.
He was so excited he couldn't wait for the Jim
Romes tray to call our show, which I'm fine with.
I'm fine with that. Didn't it sound like he was
from like western Pennsylvania. The a little accent to him,
(32:21):
somewhere in Pennsylvania, maybe a Yinzer, maybe closer to Philly.
It sounded to me like he had like a Pennsylvania
dialect tool. Am I the only one that thought that? Maybe?
I'm the only one that thought that. I just when
he was talking, it sounded like he's not from from
Kansas City. Not that it matters where he's from. He's
obviously living there. He's a Chief saying he's going to
work right now. So Sonny Money checking in. Good for him.
(32:47):
Uh time now for the who am I? Game? And
this is somebody that's Sunny Money just mentioned Xavier Worthy?
Are we worthy? The Chiefs wide receiver xavi'er Worthy joined
me as the only players and they have a twenty
plus yard rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown in their NFL debut. Again,
(33:08):
we got history here, kids, Xavier Worthy of Cansau City
joining me as the only players in NFL history. They
have a twenty plus rushing yard touchdown and receiving touchdown
in their NFL debut. Who am I? That is the question?
(33:29):
The answer, We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

We'll pay off the who Am I Game? In a moment,
got an email from Blind Scott who says he had
a friend that just got out of jail and did
fifteen years in prison. Just got out, and he said
that everyone listens to in the Boston area to our
(34:30):
home where you can hear the Ben Malor Show on
the sports up there in Boston. And that's not just
in Boston. I'm telling you, we dominate the prison system,
the penal colonies of America. We dominate and at the
very top. I don't know how we monetize that, because
I don't think you boys have much money in jail.
But you know, maybe robbed some banks. You have that
(34:52):
money squirreled away somewhere. You might have some money. I
don't know, but anyway, tention advertisers, Hey, here's the who
Am I Game? Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy join me
as the only player or only players in NFL history
to have a twenty plus yard rushing touchdown and receiving
touchdown in their NFL debut. Who am I? That is
(35:18):
the question? What is the answer? And let's see does
anyone know the answer? Malard prop guy, very nice man.
We met him, he was in studio. In the studio audience,
he went with the Art Donovan as his answer. Terry
in England says, is it an accurate pass? Texas Trucker?
(35:39):
Jose Alboovey the Cheater is his answer. Cowboy Killer says
it has to be Heathcliff. Yes, the great Heathcliff find cartoon.
So was mister Magoo from courtesy Flusher Better Cartoon Heathcliff
or mister macgoo. I like the name, mister mcgoom Moore,
I need to use that in my lexicon. Mister McGoo,
(36:01):
I think that's a good name. John McEnroe from Milkman,
Mike and Colorado, Chuck Foreman, Viking Legend from The Midnight Walker,
Matt the Warrior, Raider fan going with an iconic old
San Diego charger, Marion Butts. They had the Butts in
Bernstein backfield back in the nineties. Who else do we have?
(36:21):
Fergdug says, both feet in bounds. Mallard, that's right, Fergie,
my feet are always in bounds. Alf the Alien Opiner
going with the very excited Mary Ann as his answer.
Brian Piccolo from the King Rory. Who else do we
have a former Rice baseball star? Brian Friday from Shane
(36:41):
in Des Moines, Harold Bailey guests by Donkeys Sausage, Chester
Taylor from ARIEK The Viking Legend. Let's see here for
Josh Alexibliscus, also by Shane Percy Harvin from Abby the
Mariner fan. All right, what say you Eddie again? The
questions AAVI, You're worthy of the Chiefs. He joined me
as the only players in NFL history with twenty plus
yard rushing touchdowns and receiving touchdowns in their NFL debut.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Well it's another former Chief Bend running back Barry Word.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Oh good name, wrong answer, No one could get this right.
The correct answer is someone named James brim He was
a replacement player for the Vikings in nineteen eighty seven.
He played three NFL games. That's it, three of them.
James Brim good to the last drop.
