This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Red Meat in a lions Den on a Sunday night.
Welcome in the beginning of a brand new week of
the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere
eyeball to eyeball as we are hanging out at Benny's
(00:52):
brew House coast coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and sharply awful microphones of FSRE am monating
live from the Iron, the grid Iron of the overnight.
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyract
dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
(01:16):
fast free shipping, Free road has the protection and over
ten thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com. The way tire
buying should be as we begin new is the football
world rejoicing the first full Sunday of NFL activity in
our lead this hour, coming from two thousand Brush Street.
(01:40):
That is Ford Field, MotorCity, Downtown Detroit, the site of
the first Sunday night game. We're told the most important
games of the week are on Sunday night, and Sean
mcvay's Rams had a playdate with the Lions. They rematch
Dan Campbell's Lions rematch of the playoffs last year. You
had Mike t Rico and Chris Collinsworth bloviating from high
(02:04):
a top on NBC and I don't know if you
saw the game or not, maybe you weren't watching, but
the game went to overtime. We're David Montgomery rumbling and
stumbling on a one yard touchdown run in overtime, lifting
the Lions to a comeback win twenty six to twenty
over the Rams. Matthew Stafford and the Rams go down
(02:26):
in the Sunday night game, Detroit blew a two touchdown lead.
What a pathetic performance by the Lions, allowing a Hodgepodge
Ram team to come back and have the lead late
in the game. Really embarrassing for Dan Campbell and the Lions.
Many have told me the Rams blow and yet they
(02:47):
had the lead late in the game. In Pitt of Horrors,
Miketerico loving to talk about how loud the Lions fans are.
Of course, it might be that he lives in Michigan,
right adjacent to the stadium. But the game went to overtime,
Detroit blew the touchdown lead and they got a late
field goal by somebody named Jake Bates. I don't know
who that is, but he made a thirty two yard
(03:09):
field goal in the final minute of regulation in front
of a half minute. The Lions then won the coin
flip and they matriculated the ball down the field eight
play seventy yard drive capped off by the Montgomery game
winning score. Good afternoon, good evening, and good nights of
the Lions get the win. Better story though, in the
(03:30):
losing locker room, as the Rams go down from the
Rams side of the aisle. From the Rams side of
the aisle, are things the way things are right now?
For them? Are you excited, frustrated, or angry or all
of the above regarding the loss? So the erraw on
(03:50):
this one is pointing towards frustrating and excited. That's where
the arrow is I've got scissors and paste, pink and housefly,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will lay the foundation for this malld monologue. But
the arrow is pointing towards exciting and frustrating. Not so
(04:13):
much angry, but the pundit's dismissing the Rams as contenders
this season in the NFC, and yet they storm back
with a couple of big plays in the second half.
They're down two touchdowns in a hostile environment against the
Lions and made Detroit, as we talked about, make that
late field goal to tie the game, go to overtime
(04:33):
Detroit in the NFC title game last year and would have,
could have should have won if they didn't keep going
for it on fourth down. But that is encouraging now. Overall,
I would say I'm Benny Brightside when it comes to
the Rams. But when you consider the Rams offensive line,
here's the main reason, right, Rams offensive line scissors and
pace job. You're playing backups. It's a patchwork quilt at tackle,
(04:58):
all kinds of odds and ends put together there. And
the Lions supposed to have this ferocious defense, and the
Rams held their own. They did, and Puka Nakoula left
on a golf court a golf cart. You don't want
to leave on a golf cart, right unless you're golfing.
He wasn't. And the Rams defense without Aaron Donald, how
are they going to stop anyone without Aaron Donald? Oh
(05:20):
my god? And they only had one real meltdown, one
real meltdown, which was the Tradavious White blown coverage. The
defensive back for the Rams, who's back he was in Buffalo,
was a good player, and he's had a lot of injuries,
and he got burned on a fifty two yard catch
and run for the Lions in that game. Now, the
(05:40):
real frustration part is that it should have never come
down to overtime. The Rams should have won it in regulation.
They had possession of the ball, He got the ball
back with about four minutes, a little over four minutes
to go in the game, and they got only one
first down, and they absolutely botch the clock on their
(06:02):
what turned out to be their final possession of the game,
unable to convert more than one first down. There were
questionable decisions about getting out of bounds, stopping the clock,
and forcing the Lions to use timeouts. And so that's
on McVeigh right now. Once McVeigh finds the synergy, then
the Rams will win around nine to ten eleven games.
(06:23):
They'll be in that same group they're usually in and
that normally gets you in the playoffs. So I didn't
see anything from the game Sunday night where it's like, well,
they're not a playoff team. I thought the defense everything
I'd read about it and heard about it from all
these so called experts. I thought the Rams defense was
fine and the Lions offense didn't really do much anything.
(06:43):
They had the late drive and fine, congratulations, But all right,
now we moved to the other team in La La
Land a much ballyhooed debut for Jim Harbaugh as coach
of the Chargers. He was victorious in a twenty two
to ten game over Las Vegas. Better story in the
losing locker room, though, so we'll focus on that as
(07:05):
the Raiders get really one of two home games the
Raiders when they play in LA they're more Raider fans
in LA than Charger fans or Ram fans for that matter,
so they had a packed house of Raider fans there.
How should Antonio this is his first game as the
permanent coach of the Raiders. He was the interim coach
last year's first game as the permanent coach. So how's
Antonio Pierce feeling right about now as the Raiders go
(07:27):
down to the Chargers in Week one? So Antonio Pierce,
he probably should stop by like a CVS or a
Walgreens or something like that, pick up a pink bottle
on the way home. There some pepto bismol. Back to
Vegas because the Silver and Black in this game suffering
from bloating, gassiness and then in the fourth quarter fatigue,
which is rather embarrassing. It was a hot day. There
(07:51):
was a heat wave in LA's fire season, so he's
got a good brush fire season here in LA and
a lot of fires and the heat and whatnot. And
but the Raiders playing Vegas that is the personification of heat.
And they wore down as the game went on. But
get that, much like the Rams, the game was there
for them and they blew it. The Raiders although it
(08:11):
was different because they didn't have the lead late in
the game, but thirteen of the twenty two points that
the Chargers scored were directly off Raider miscues and Gardner
Minshew had not won but two turnovers, was sacked four times.
Zamir White, who looks like an absolute beast, fumbled. You
got a whole lot of ball. What are you doing?
(08:31):
But overall, here's the crazy thing, Gardner Minshew had more
impact plays in terms of side by side than Justin Herbert,
who was yuck for the Bolts. And yet the Chargers won.
They were able to run the ball, which is what
Jim harrib while he wants to win ugly the big ugly,
and the Chargers did that, and the Raiders unable to
(08:52):
get Devonte Adams the ball on a consistent basis. I
think only targeted them six times in this game. So
that's just what Jim Harboll wanted for Antonio Pierce though,
I mean, may you're gonna have to win with your defense,
and your defense you had some guys kicked out. It
was a hot mess. It was a hot mess there
(09:14):
at the end for the Raiders. Now the last word,
we pivoting out of the story everyone's talking about. I
don't know about you, but I wake up right before kickoff.
I don't watch the pregame shows. I don't need the
pregame shows. I spent all week getting ready for my
NFL Sunday, plus I do an overnight show, so I
can't get up. I used to get up at halftime
of the early games, so now I got to watch
the whole game. So I get up in the morning
(09:35):
there and I'm like, all, I'm kind of groggy. We
had to South Florida here and the Dolphins had a
come from behind victory. They beat Jacksonville twenty to seventeen,
unable to cover the spread. That's not the story, though.
The story is what happened before the game, A very
bizarre chain of events, very bizarre tend events involving cops
(10:01):
and football players. The bad boys, bad boys, what you're
gonna do? I don't even know if that's the case.
But you had star wide receiver Tyreek Hill who said
after the game that he played in the game he
was detained. He said he had no idea why police
detained him before the Dolphins game. But there's video of it,
(10:23):
and can you make sense of what happened in this situation?
So I'm trying to to process exactly what happened. There's
not one consistent version of events. We do have the
Tyreek Hill version but we don't have the other side.
And there are three sides to the story. There's the
(10:44):
Tyreek Hill story, there's the cops story, and then there's
the truth somewhere else in the middle. But I woke
up kind of groggy, kind of groggy, and then I
saw the clip. I turned on the old phone there
and I saw the clip of Tyreek Hill being handcuffed
and like a bunch of cops around him, kind of
rough housing him. And then I read later that the
(11:05):
Miami Dade Police placed one of the officers involved on
administrative leave. Is that just standard protocols or more to
the story, It's got to be embarrassing for the Miami
Dade Police Department. This is generally not what you're looking
for here. Now, other Dolphin teammates intervened and Callias Campbell
(11:26):
said that he ended up in handcuffs also, so and
at least he was the only one that said it
as far as I saw. Maybe I missed something else there.
But we don't know if Tyreek Hill did anything wrong
here or not. But what we do know, what we
do know is the track record. Right that said, we
know the track record, and we've been doing this a
(11:48):
while and when you talk about police blotter in the NFL,
the one common denominator has been Tyreek Hill. He's the
common denominator. Now, maybe it's just really bad luck and
there's just like a cloud that follows him around, and
he's an angel and a choir boy, and he does
nothing wrong that is possible. But from domestic violence to
(12:13):
the benign like the assault at the marina, remember that
story where there was some money exchange. Tyreeks like a
house fly to dog poop. With these stories, he's always
in the middle of it. Is it just bad luck
or could there be something else? He always finds himself
(12:34):
in the middle of the situation. Will this be anything
he played in the game? Dolphins obviously don't think this
is anything they allowed him to play in the game.
This is all nonsense, And we'll see how this plays
out in the coming days, in the coming weeks, and
there be a lot of bureaucracy involved in people pointing
fingers at each other and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
The Brady Bunch returns to television and many people seem
annoyed by that. Well, come in the beginning of another
night of The Ben Mahler Show. In another hour. We
are in the air everywhere the face as we are,
(14:03):
the mixing and melting spoon, coastug coast, porter, the border
and beyond. On the vast and spiffily powerful microphones of
fs are ammating live from the diarrhea, the verbal diarrhea.
We've got a case. We can't stop talking all night long.
We just got to keep that VU meter moving. We're
(14:24):
broadcasting live from the ti raq dot Com studios tyract
dot com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers, almost as many fun facts as alf
the Alien opiner has sent in that I have yet
to use. Bad job by me ti raq dot com
(14:45):
the way tire buying show be. So I attend random
NFL games here where we are based. And I did
not go to an NFL game on Sunday, partially because
it was too hot or partially because somebody screwed up
my credential, but either way, I was not there. I
was not and our lead this hour from the broadcast
both I was able to soak in the much bally
(15:09):
hooed beginning of the almost four hundred dollars four hundred
million dollar man big difference between four hundred dollars and
four hundred million dollars the Fox box that rocks. There
if you were watching on Sunday, the Cowboys and the Browns,
Tom Brady there, he was, all dawled up, looking good.
(15:32):
Tom Brady made his broadcast debut on Sunday on Fox.
He called the week one snoozefest between the Brownies and
the Cowboys. The Cowboys put up a fight, the Browns
did not. Game was a no contest here. Cleveland stinks
and Boys consistently stinks. So tom Brady in the broadcast booth,
(15:56):
and how did he look? Early reviews? He had some
jitters there at the beginning of the game. His voice
was a little shaky, he paused quite often. Some said
he was absolutely awful. Others said he grew steadier as
the game went on. So all over the map, all
over the map on the reviews of Tom Brady. But
who cares what they think. It's all about what we think, right,
(16:18):
It's all about you and I. So the question what
did you make of Tom Brady's debut on Fox? Cowboys
and Browns. So I've got the rich Carlton Brand, ambassador
and Fomo, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we're gonna make diners, drive ins, and dives is
(16:41):
what we're gonna make, all right. So to lead off here,
tom Brady, I didn't think he was terrible. I saw
the story. Some of you sent me emails, Oh man,
you gotta kill Brady. He was awful. He sucked. I
didn't think that I was expecting what I got. It
wasn't amazing. It wasn't amazing. It was kind of eh. Eh,
(17:03):
you know who cared. You don't get excited about eh.
It's like you go to the ice cream shop. You're
you're there and you want some Neapolitan ice cream and
then they give you a bowl, a waffle bowl of
vanilla mean ice cream. You're like, well, I want the
strawberry and I'd like the chocolate. No, you only get
the vanilla. You don't get the strawberry, you don't get
(17:24):
the chocolate. I want that. I want the Neapolitan. You
didn't give me that. You gave me just the vanilla.
And considering all of the different variables, the fact that
Tom Brady took a year off from the NFL and
was living the life of leisure and then chose to
do this and was very braggadocious to people around Tom
(17:44):
Brady and his posse, that he did all these demo
broadcasts and he kept every note from his days with
the Patriots, you certainly had the right to expect more.
He was fine. There was nothing memorable about this. There
wasn't on the mallor report card. I give Tom Brady
a C. I give him a C. It was a
(18:06):
C broadcast. Yeah, is that a bad grade? It's up
for you to decide. A C grade is a passing grade.
Sees get degrees. But you pay three hundred and seventy
five million dollars for satisfactory, you already had satisfactory. You
want the boogie woogie. You didn't get the boogie woogie?
(18:27):
You didn't. Yeah, yeah, he could have just kept Greg
Olsen and saved a whole lot of money. And I
know he's still there, but he's on the top team.
You want a plus. A plus is the standard? That
was not it. It's a kin to the Brady broadcast was
like going to the rich Carlton and listening to the
elevator music and you don't really notice it. And that's
(18:50):
Tom Brady. He was background noise. It's like, all right,
he was there, not elite. Those elite skills that he
had playing for the Patriots and the Buccaneers on the
football field certainly did not translate to broadcasting. It's almost
like it's a different skill set doing this than doing that.
Go figure, but the jockocracy continues now, perfect example of
(19:11):
how off Tom Brady was. Brady had a batting practice
fastball right down the middle to show that he's not
going to be your standard ex jock that gets on television.
He had a giant meatball right there and he could
just eat the meatball. And what did he do? Brady
(19:32):
had a chance to chastise Deshaun Watson, who blows right.
Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns had one first down
in the first half. This was set up perfect. It
was a t ball for Tom Brady to say, Okay,
I'm gonna kill this guy. Nobody likes DeShawn Watson anyway,
who likes DeShawn Watson. Nobody likes the guy. You could
(19:53):
have buried Deshaun Watson and nobody would have complained, and
he deserved it right. You could have got out, chastise
them and stigmatize them. Watson was a dog with fleas,
and what did Tom Brady do seemed that critical to me.
It was a ramshackle performance by Deshaun Watson, and instead
(20:14):
Brady chose not to lamb base the Browns quarterback, showing
that he's not cut out to be an elite broadcaster.
Yeah he's not. You gotta get me more, You gotta
get me more. You know, unless you think the fans
are just moras. Maybe they are. Maybe the fans are
just a bunch of Neanderthals and they don't know what
they're doing either, and they're just fanboys and they'll lick
your toes. Maybe that's it. But for those that aren't
(20:37):
like that, that was right there. There was an opportunity,
mister big bat Tom Brady, come out buried Deshaun Watson.
He didn't do it. You know who buried him, The
Dallas Cowboys buried. Now speaking of that, as we expand
on that furthermore here, how did you you see Deshaun
Watson's performance? Is Tom Brady chose not to be too
(20:57):
critical of Watson thought Watson was in mid season four men,
he hit the ground running. He didn't miss a beat
from years past. Consistency of performance for Watson, the same
guy he's always been in Cleveland. I mean he said
just days ago that he's still considered himself an elite quarterback.
(21:19):
My favorite Watson story was from one of his trainers
who was like the typical trainer stories. Oh yeah, the
NFL's on notice, Deshaun Watson, man, he's back. Oh this
guy's ready to go and goes out there, and it's
lucky he plays for the Browns because he really should
be the brand ambassador for Dynamite. I mean, he's like
(21:43):
he needs that dog food. He's always in deep doo dooo,
always in deep doo doo.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
He is.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, Mike zimmer Calling plays there, laughing on the sidelines
as Micah Parsons haunts Deshaun Watson. Just brutal one first
down in the first half, one numero uno Watson, absolute
rubbish from pillar to post, two hundred and thirty million dollars,
fully guaranteed for a liability. And at this point in time,
(22:16):
at this point in time, Cleveland should just cut their
losses and maybe they should have him work as a
host of a yoga studio. We know he's very good
at the happy baby yoga pos much better at that
than the shotgun formation. All right, last thing, last thing here.
So before the game the news came out, we'd mentioned
(22:37):
this in a previous Mallet monologue. As you know, I'm
a distant relative of Nostra Damas and friend of Nostradinas,
although he doesn't like me because he's a Seahawk fan.
Right now, but the Dallas Cowboys did open up the wallet.
The news came down, the Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott
have agreed to a four year, two hundred and forty
million dollar contract extension. Contract makes DeShawn Watson the high
(23:00):
paid per year quarterback in the NFL at sixty million
dollars a year in annual value. That's number on all time,
number one. So can you explain in layman's terms? Can
you explain in layman's terms, why Jerry Jones ended up
paying Dak Prescott this contract? Because Jerry can't help himself.
(23:25):
He flinched. He always flinches. Right, We were praising Jerry's
you almost got there, you almost You have to training camp.
You hadn't paid any of these guys, and you get
to training camp. You can't help yourself. Right. He was
doing so well, and then during training camp he flinched.
He gave Ceedee Lamb the big money. And now here
we are with Dak Prescott, and it's classic fomo. It's
(23:47):
fear of missing out. It's Jerry Jones being paranoid that
Dak Prescott, who has been the epitome of big game suck,
is all of a sudden not going to be that
defy the space time continuum of the NFL that we
are at the point now where we have settled into
what DeShawn Watson is. We know what the guy is. Watson,
(24:11):
to his credit, I will give him credit for this,
because he hasn't done anything in big games his entire career,
and yet just by showing up and succeeding during the
regular season, he's managed to keep the Peter principle alive
and well, He's reached his highest level of incompetence and
he will apparently stay there for the bulk of his career.
So the career in terms of his prime years, will
(24:35):
be spent in Dallas and maybe I'll go somewhere else
at the end of his career, but he'll end up
on television. All these old cowboy quarterbacks end up on television.
Romo Aikman, they all end up there. But Dak Prescott.
To give you some context on how ridiculous this is
that normally you're paying someone on what you think they're
(24:55):
going to do. We know what Dak Prescott is going
to do. Dak Prescott has never reached a conference championship
game through his first eight seasons, He's never been. No quarterback,
none in NFL history has won a Super Bowl with
his draft team with his draft team after zero conference
(25:16):
championship appearances through eight seasons, it's never happened. So Dak
Prescott would have to defy the space time continuum for
this to be successful. And yet he's being rewarded for
empty stats. This is the fantasy football empty stat world
that we live in here. Dak Prescott has never been
someone that's won an MVP award. He's only won two
(25:39):
playoff games in eight seasons. One of them shouldn't even count.
It was against a washed up Tom Brady at the
end of his career. That's like a half a playoff win.
The other ones against Russell Wilson. And I remember that
game where Dak if I remember correct, he was terrible
in the second half of that game. That game was
in Texas. But here we are the Cowboys. If you're
(26:01):
a Cowboy hater, tremendous news. You don't have to worry
about it. For the next four years. The Cowboys will
be all bluster and they ain't winning bupkis zippo with
Dak Prescott, but they'll make a lot of money So
for Jerry's perspective, Hey, they'll be competitive, that's all he
cares about. They'll make some money, that's all the matter.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Here we got it. How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
To the third degree is one big Ben gets grilled
a cool.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Over the weekend, the Nuggets signed Jamal Murray to a
MAX extension worth over two hundred million dollars. Do you
think Denver took too big of a risk given Murray's
injury history.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
No, because it's a short term contract and everyone in
that sport gets paid a gazillion dollars. And Jamal Murray,
unlike my guy Kawhi Leonard or your guy Anthony Davis,
does seem to like basketball and does seem to want
to play basketball, so I give him the benefit of
the doubt, unlike the guys that we support who don't
seem to care all that much about basketball. So I'm
(27:06):
okay with they won a championship, greatest moment in Nuggets history.
I fine.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Next with Colorado's twenty eight to ten loss to Nebraska
on Saturday, do you think Deon sanders honeymoon period with
Colorado is officially over.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
No, but that was a bad look. Man. You talk
about the personification of show ponies, the Colorado Buffaloes. You
had Shader Sanders leaving the state and leaving the field
with two minutes to go in the game as they're
getting smacked by Nebraska. It's embarrassing, right, tell me you're
a front runner without telling me you're a front runner,
do better? I mean Deon Sander. That's on Dion, But
(27:42):
it's not over yet because on every primetime game between
now and the end of the college football season, and
they'll be on primetime this coming weekend next.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Saquon Barkley had over one hundred and thirty yards of
offense and three touchdowns in his Eagles debut on Friday. Ben,
do you think this is a sign of a perfect
fit in Philly system or does it say more about
the Packers defense?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah? So I thought Barkley was going to do well
in this game because the Packers do not stop the
run very much at all. They are they were weak
last year. They didn't really do much if you look
at the depth chart, to improve that part of their game.
So it's a little premature. We'll see how how things go.
I think he will have another big game here this
week though is in week two the Eagles play the
(28:24):
Atlanta Falcons. Who that's one of the primetime games this
I think next Monday. It's the next Monday night game.
But anyway, there is malod of the third degree? How
do we know he passes it? She's a wing. You
can put it on the phone. I won the game
at a I won the game. You're not. You don't
seem excited by that. A bad job by you. You're
waiving it.

Red Meat in a lions Den on a Sunday night.
Welcome in the beginning of a brand new week of
the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere
eyeball to eyeball as we are hanging out at Benny's
(00:52):
brew House coast coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and sharply awful microphones of FSRE am monating
live from the Iron, the grid Iron of the overnight.
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyract

(01:16):
fast free shipping, Free road has the protection and over
ten thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com. The way tire
buying should be as we begin new is the football
world rejoicing the first full Sunday of NFL activity in
our lead this hour, coming from two thousand Brush Street.
(01:40):
That is Ford Field, MotorCity, Downtown Detroit, the site of
the first Sunday night game. We're told the most important
games of the week are on Sunday night, and Sean
mcvay's Rams had a playdate with the Lions. They rematch
Dan Campbell's Lions rematch of the playoffs last year. You
had Mike t Rico and Chris Collinsworth bloviating from high
(02:04):
a top on NBC and I don't know if you
saw the game or not, maybe you weren't watching, but
the game went to overtime. We're David Montgomery rumbling and
stumbling on a one yard touchdown run in overtime, lifting
the Lions to a comeback win twenty six to twenty
over the Rams. Matthew Stafford and the Rams go down
(02:26):
in the Sunday night game, Detroit blew a two touchdown lead.
What a pathetic performance by the Lions, allowing a Hodgepodge
Ram team to come back and have the lead late
in the game. Really embarrassing for Dan Campbell and the Lions.
Many have told me the Rams blow and yet they
(02:47):
had the lead late in the game. In Pitt of Horrors,
Miketerico loving to talk about how loud the Lions fans are.
Of course, it might be that he lives in Michigan,
right adjacent to the stadium. But the game went to overtime,
Detroit blew the touchdown lead and they got a late
field goal by somebody named Jake Bates. I don't know
who that is, but he made a thirty two yard
(03:09):
field goal in the final minute of regulation in front
of a half minute. The Lions then won the coin
flip and they matriculated the ball down the field eight
play seventy yard drive capped off by the Montgomery game
winning score. Good afternoon, good evening, and good nights of
the Lions get the win. Better story though, in the
(03:30):
losing locker room, as the Rams go down from the
Rams side of the aisle. From the Rams side of
the aisle, are things the way things are right now?
For them? Are you excited, frustrated, or angry or all
of the above regarding the loss? So the erraw on
(03:50):
this one is pointing towards frustrating and excited. That's where
the arrow is I've got scissors and paste, pink and housefly,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will lay the foundation for this malld monologue. But
the arrow is pointing towards exciting and frustrating. Not so
(04:13):
much angry, but the pundit's dismissing the Rams as contenders
this season in the NFC, and yet they storm back
with a couple of big plays in the second half.
They're down two touchdowns in a hostile environment against the
Lions and made Detroit, as we talked about, make that
late field goal to tie the game, go to overtime
(04:33):
Detroit in the NFC title game last year and would have,
could have should have won if they didn't keep going
for it on fourth down. But that is encouraging now. Overall,
I would say I'm Benny Brightside when it comes to
the Rams. But when you consider the Rams offensive line,
here's the main reason, right, Rams offensive line scissors and
pace job. You're playing backups. It's a patchwork quilt at tackle,
(04:58):
all kinds of odds and ends put together there. And
the Lions supposed to have this ferocious defense, and the
Rams held their own. They did, and Puka Nakoula left
on a golf court a golf cart. You don't want
to leave on a golf cart, right unless you're golfing.
He wasn't. And the Rams defense without Aaron Donald, how
are they going to stop anyone without Aaron Donald? Oh
(05:20):
my god? And they only had one real meltdown, one
real meltdown, which was the Tradavious White blown coverage. The
defensive back for the Rams, who's back he was in Buffalo,
was a good player, and he's had a lot of injuries,
and he got burned on a fifty two yard catch
and run for the Lions in that game. Now, the
(05:40):
real frustration part is that it should have never come
down to overtime. The Rams should have won it in regulation.
They had possession of the ball, He got the ball
back with about four minutes, a little over four minutes
to go in the game, and they got only one
first down, and they absolutely botch the clock on their
(06:02):
what turned out to be their final possession of the game,
unable to convert more than one first down. There were
questionable decisions about getting out of bounds, stopping the clock,
and forcing the Lions to use timeouts. And so that's
on McVeigh right now. Once McVeigh finds the synergy, then
the Rams will win around nine to ten eleven games.
(06:23):
They'll be in that same group they're usually in and
that normally gets you in the playoffs. So I didn't
see anything from the game Sunday night where it's like, well,
they're not a playoff team. I thought the defense everything
I'd read about it and heard about it from all
these so called experts. I thought the Rams defense was
fine and the Lions offense didn't really do much anything.
(06:43):
They had the late drive and fine, congratulations, But all right,
now we moved to the other team in La La
Land a much ballyhooed debut for Jim Harbaugh as coach
of the Chargers. He was victorious in a twenty two
to ten game over Las Vegas. Better story in the
losing locker room, though, so we'll focus on that as
(07:05):
the Raiders get really one of two home games the
Raiders when they play in LA they're more Raider fans
in LA than Charger fans or Ram fans for that matter,
so they had a packed house of Raider fans there.
How should Antonio this is his first game as the
permanent coach of the Raiders. He was the interim coach
last year's first game as the permanent coach. So how's
Antonio Pierce feeling right about now as the Raiders go
(07:27):
down to the Chargers in Week one? So Antonio Pierce,
he probably should stop by like a CVS or a
Walgreens or something like that, pick up a pink bottle
on the way home. There some pepto bismol. Back to
Vegas because the Silver and Black in this game suffering
from bloating, gassiness and then in the fourth quarter fatigue,
which is rather embarrassing. It was a hot day. There
(07:51):
was a heat wave in LA's fire season, so he's
got a good brush fire season here in LA and
a lot of fires and the heat and whatnot. And
but the Raiders playing Vegas that is the personification of heat.
And they wore down as the game went on. But
get that, much like the Rams, the game was there
for them and they blew it. The Raiders although it
(08:11):
was different because they didn't have the lead late in
the game, but thirteen of the twenty two points that
the Chargers scored were directly off Raider miscues and Gardner
Minshew had not won but two turnovers, was sacked four times.
Zamir White, who looks like an absolute beast, fumbled. You
got a whole lot of ball. What are you doing?
(08:31):
But overall, here's the crazy thing, Gardner Minshew had more
impact plays in terms of side by side than Justin Herbert,
who was yuck for the Bolts. And yet the Chargers won.
They were able to run the ball, which is what
Jim harrib while he wants to win ugly the big ugly,
and the Chargers did that, and the Raiders unable to
(08:52):
get Devonte Adams the ball on a consistent basis. I
think only targeted them six times in this game. So
that's just what Jim Harboll wanted for Antonio Pierce though,
I mean, may you're gonna have to win with your defense,
and your defense you had some guys kicked out. It
was a hot mess. It was a hot mess there
(09:14):
at the end for the Raiders. Now the last word,
we pivoting out of the story everyone's talking about. I
don't know about you, but I wake up right before kickoff.
I don't watch the pregame shows. I don't need the
pregame shows. I spent all week getting ready for my
NFL Sunday, plus I do an overnight show, so I
can't get up. I used to get up at halftime
of the early games, so now I got to watch
the whole game. So I get up in the morning
(09:35):
there and I'm like, all, I'm kind of groggy. We
had to South Florida here and the Dolphins had a
come from behind victory. They beat Jacksonville twenty to seventeen,
unable to cover the spread. That's not the story, though.
The story is what happened before the game, A very
bizarre chain of events, very bizarre tend events involving cops
(10:01):
and football players. The bad boys, bad boys, what you're
gonna do? I don't even know if that's the case.
But you had star wide receiver Tyreek Hill who said
after the game that he played in the game he
was detained. He said he had no idea why police
detained him before the Dolphins game. But there's video of it,
(10:23):
and can you make sense of what happened in this situation?
So I'm trying to to process exactly what happened. There's
not one consistent version of events. We do have the
Tyreek Hill version but we don't have the other side.
And there are three sides to the story. There's the
(10:44):
Tyreek Hill story, there's the cops story, and then there's
the truth somewhere else in the middle. But I woke
up kind of groggy, kind of groggy, and then I
saw the clip. I turned on the old phone there
and I saw the clip of Tyreek Hill being handcuffed
and like a bunch of cops around him, kind of
rough housing him. And then I read later that the
(11:05):
Miami Dade Police placed one of the officers involved on
administrative leave. Is that just standard protocols or more to
the story, It's got to be embarrassing for the Miami
Dade Police Department. This is generally not what you're looking
for here. Now, other Dolphin teammates intervened and Callias Campbell
(11:26):
said that he ended up in handcuffs also, so and
at least he was the only one that said it
as far as I saw. Maybe I missed something else there.
But we don't know if Tyreek Hill did anything wrong
here or not. But what we do know, what we
do know is the track record. Right that said, we
know the track record, and we've been doing this a
(11:48):
while and when you talk about police blotter in the NFL,
the one common denominator has been Tyreek Hill. He's the
common denominator. Now, maybe it's just really bad luck and
there's just like a cloud that follows him around, and
he's an angel and a choir boy, and he does
nothing wrong that is possible. But from domestic violence to
(12:13):
the benign like the assault at the marina, remember that
story where there was some money exchange. Tyreeks like a
house fly to dog poop. With these stories, he's always
in the middle of it. Is it just bad luck
or could there be something else? He always finds himself
(12:34):
in the middle of the situation. Will this be anything
he played in the game? Dolphins obviously don't think this
is anything they allowed him to play in the game.
This is all nonsense, And we'll see how this plays
out in the coming days, in the coming weeks, and
there be a lot of bureaucracy involved in people pointing
fingers at each other and whatnot.

The Brady Bunch returns to television and many people seem

(14:45):
the way tire buying show be. So I attend random
NFL games here where we are based. And I did
not go to an NFL game on Sunday, partially because
it was too hot or partially because somebody screwed up
my credential, but either way, I was not there. I
was not and our lead this hour from the broadcast
both I was able to soak in the much bally
(15:09):
hooed beginning of the almost four hundred dollars four hundred
million dollar man big difference between four hundred dollars and
four hundred million dollars the Fox box that rocks. There
if you were watching on Sunday, the Cowboys and the Browns,
Tom Brady there, he was, all dawled up, looking good.
(15:32):
Tom Brady made his broadcast debut on Sunday on Fox.
He called the week one snoozefest between the Brownies and
the Cowboys. The Cowboys put up a fight, the Browns
did not. Game was a no contest here. Cleveland stinks
and Boys consistently stinks. So tom Brady in the broadcast booth,
(15:56):
and how did he look? Early reviews? He had some
jitters there at the beginning of the game. His voice
was a little shaky, he paused quite often. Some said
he was absolutely awful. Others said he grew steadier as
the game went on. So all over the map, all
over the map on the reviews of Tom Brady. But
who cares what they think. It's all about what we think, right,
(16:18):
It's all about you and I. So the question what
did you make of Tom Brady's debut on Fox? Cowboys
and Browns. So I've got the rich Carlton Brand, ambassador
and Fomo, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we're gonna make diners, drive ins, and dives is
(16:41):
what we're gonna make, all right. So to lead off here,
tom Brady, I didn't think he was terrible. I saw
the story. Some of you sent me emails, Oh man,
you gotta kill Brady. He was awful. He sucked. I
didn't think that I was expecting what I got. It
wasn't amazing. It wasn't amazing. It was kind of eh. Eh,
(17:03):
you know who cared. You don't get excited about eh.
It's like you go to the ice cream shop. You're
you're there and you want some Neapolitan ice cream and
then they give you a bowl, a waffle bowl of
vanilla mean ice cream. You're like, well, I want the
strawberry and I'd like the chocolate. No, you only get
the vanilla. You don't get the strawberry, you don't get
(17:24):
the chocolate. I want that. I want the Neapolitan. You
didn't give me that. You gave me just the vanilla.
And considering all of the different variables, the fact that
Tom Brady took a year off from the NFL and
was living the life of leisure and then chose to
do this and was very braggadocious to people around Tom
(17:44):
Brady and his posse, that he did all these demo
broadcasts and he kept every note from his days with
the Patriots, you certainly had the right to expect more.
He was fine. There was nothing memorable about this. There
wasn't on the mallor report card. I give Tom Brady
a C. I give him a C. It was a
(18:06):
C broadcast. Yeah, is that a bad grade? It's up
for you to decide. A C grade is a passing grade.
Sees get degrees. But you pay three hundred and seventy
five million dollars for satisfactory, you already had satisfactory. You
want the boogie woogie. You didn't get the boogie woogie?
(18:27):
You didn't. Yeah, yeah, he could have just kept Greg
Olsen and saved a whole lot of money. And I
know he's still there, but he's on the top team.
You want a plus. A plus is the standard? That
was not it. It's a kin to the Brady broadcast was
like going to the rich Carlton and listening to the
elevator music and you don't really notice it. And that's
(18:50):
Tom Brady. He was background noise. It's like, all right,
he was there, not elite. Those elite skills that he
had playing for the Patriots and the Buccaneers on the
football field certainly did not translate to broadcasting. It's almost
like it's a different skill set doing this than doing that.
Go figure, but the jockocracy continues now, perfect example of
(19:11):
how off Tom Brady was. Brady had a batting practice
fastball right down the middle to show that he's not
going to be your standard ex jock that gets on television.
He had a giant meatball right there and he could
just eat the meatball. And what did he do? Brady
(19:32):
had a chance to chastise Deshaun Watson, who blows right.
Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns had one first down
in the first half. This was set up perfect. It
was a t ball for Tom Brady to say, Okay,
I'm gonna kill this guy. Nobody likes DeShawn Watson anyway,
who likes DeShawn Watson. Nobody likes the guy. You could
(19:53):
have buried Deshaun Watson and nobody would have complained, and
he deserved it right. You could have got out, chastise
them and stigmatize them. Watson was a dog with fleas,
and what did Tom Brady do seemed that critical to me.
It was a ramshackle performance by Deshaun Watson, and instead
(20:14):
Brady chose not to lamb base the Browns quarterback, showing
that he's not cut out to be an elite broadcaster.
Yeah he's not. You gotta get me more, You gotta
get me more. You know, unless you think the fans
are just moras. Maybe they are. Maybe the fans are
just a bunch of Neanderthals and they don't know what
they're doing either, and they're just fanboys and they'll lick
your toes. Maybe that's it. But for those that aren't
(20:37):
like that, that was right there. There was an opportunity,
mister big bat Tom Brady, come out buried Deshaun Watson.
He didn't do it. You know who buried him, The
Dallas Cowboys buried. Now speaking of that, as we expand
on that furthermore here, how did you you see Deshaun
Watson's performance? Is Tom Brady chose not to be too
(20:57):
critical of Watson thought Watson was in mid season four men,
he hit the ground running. He didn't miss a beat
from years past. Consistency of performance for Watson, the same
guy he's always been in Cleveland. I mean he said
just days ago that he's still considered himself an elite quarterback.
(21:19):
My favorite Watson story was from one of his trainers
who was like the typical trainer stories. Oh yeah, the
NFL's on notice, Deshaun Watson, man, he's back. Oh this
guy's ready to go and goes out there, and it's
lucky he plays for the Browns because he really should
be the brand ambassador for Dynamite. I mean, he's like
(21:43):
he needs that dog food. He's always in deep doo dooo,
always in deep doo doo.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
He is.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, Mike zimmer Calling plays there, laughing on the sidelines
as Micah Parsons haunts Deshaun Watson. Just brutal one first
down in the first half, one numero uno Watson, absolute
rubbish from pillar to post, two hundred and thirty million dollars,
fully guaranteed for a liability. And at this point in time,
(22:16):
at this point in time, Cleveland should just cut their
losses and maybe they should have him work as a
host of a yoga studio. We know he's very good
at the happy baby yoga pos much better at that
than the shotgun formation. All right, last thing, last thing here.
So before the game the news came out, we'd mentioned
(22:37):
this in a previous Mallet monologue. As you know, I'm
a distant relative of Nostra Damas and friend of Nostradinas,
although he doesn't like me because he's a Seahawk fan.
Right now, but the Dallas Cowboys did open up the wallet.
The news came down, the Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott
have agreed to a four year, two hundred and forty
million dollar contract extension. Contract makes DeShawn Watson the high
(23:00):
paid per year quarterback in the NFL at sixty million
dollars a year in annual value. That's number on all time,
number one. So can you explain in layman's terms? Can
you explain in layman's terms, why Jerry Jones ended up
paying Dak Prescott this contract? Because Jerry can't help himself.
(23:25):
He flinched. He always flinches. Right, We were praising Jerry's
you almost got there, you almost You have to training camp.
You hadn't paid any of these guys, and you get
to training camp. You can't help yourself. Right. He was
doing so well, and then during training camp he flinched.
He gave Ceedee Lamb the big money. And now here
we are with Dak Prescott, and it's classic fomo. It's
(23:47):
fear of missing out. It's Jerry Jones being paranoid that
Dak Prescott, who has been the epitome of big game suck,
is all of a sudden not going to be that
defy the space time continuum of the NFL that we
are at the point now where we have settled into
what DeShawn Watson is. We know what the guy is. Watson,
(24:11):
to his credit, I will give him credit for this,
because he hasn't done anything in big games his entire career,
and yet just by showing up and succeeding during the
regular season, he's managed to keep the Peter principle alive
and well, He's reached his highest level of incompetence and
he will apparently stay there for the bulk of his career.
So the career in terms of his prime years, will
(24:35):
be spent in Dallas and maybe I'll go somewhere else
at the end of his career, but he'll end up
on television. All these old cowboy quarterbacks end up on television.
Romo Aikman, they all end up there. But Dak Prescott.
To give you some context on how ridiculous this is
that normally you're paying someone on what you think they're
(24:55):
going to do. We know what Dak Prescott is going
to do. Dak Prescott has never reached a conference championship
game through his first eight seasons, He's never been. No quarterback,
none in NFL history has won a Super Bowl with
his draft team with his draft team after zero conference
(25:16):
championship appearances through eight seasons, it's never happened. So Dak
Prescott would have to defy the space time continuum for
this to be successful. And yet he's being rewarded for
empty stats. This is the fantasy football empty stat world
that we live in here. Dak Prescott has never been
someone that's won an MVP award. He's only won two
(25:39):
playoff games in eight seasons. One of them shouldn't even count.
It was against a washed up Tom Brady at the
end of his career. That's like a half a playoff win.
The other ones against Russell Wilson. And I remember that
game where Dak if I remember correct, he was terrible
in the second half of that game. That game was
in Texas. But here we are the Cowboys. If you're
(26:01):
a Cowboy hater, tremendous news. You don't have to worry
about it. For the next four years. The Cowboys will
be all bluster and they ain't winning bupkis zippo with
Dak Prescott, but they'll make a lot of money So
for Jerry's perspective, Hey, they'll be competitive, that's all he
cares about. They'll make some money, that's all the matter.

a cool.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Over the weekend, the Nuggets signed Jamal Murray to a
MAX extension worth over two hundred million dollars. Do you
think Denver took too big of a risk given Murray's
injury history.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
No, because it's a short term contract and everyone in
that sport gets paid a gazillion dollars. And Jamal Murray,
unlike my guy Kawhi Leonard or your guy Anthony Davis,
does seem to like basketball and does seem to want
to play basketball, so I give him the benefit of
the doubt, unlike the guys that we support who don't
seem to care all that much about basketball. So I'm
(27:06):
okay with they won a championship, greatest moment in Nuggets history.
I fine.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Next with Colorado's twenty eight to ten loss to Nebraska
on Saturday, do you think Deon sanders honeymoon period with
Colorado is officially over.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
No, but that was a bad look. Man. You talk
about the personification of show ponies, the Colorado Buffaloes. You
had Shader Sanders leaving the state and leaving the field
with two minutes to go in the game as they're
getting smacked by Nebraska. It's embarrassing, right, tell me you're
a front runner without telling me you're a front runner,
do better? I mean Deon Sander. That's on Dion, But
(27:42):
it's not over yet because on every primetime game between
now and the end of the college football season, and
they'll be on primetime this coming weekend next.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Saquon Barkley had over one hundred and thirty yards of
offense and three touchdowns in his Eagles debut on Friday. Ben,
do you think this is a sign of a perfect
fit in Philly system or does it say more about
the Packers defense?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah? So I thought Barkley was going to do well
in this game because the Packers do not stop the
run very much at all. They are they were weak
last year. They didn't really do much if you look
at the depth chart, to improve that part of their game.
So it's a little premature. We'll see how how things go.
I think he will have another big game here this
week though is in week two the Eagles play the
(28:24):
Atlanta Falcons. Who that's one of the primetime games this
I think next Monday. It's the next Monday night game.
But anyway, there is malod of the third degree? How
do we know he passes it? She's a wing. You
can put it on the phone. I won the game
at a I won the game. You're not. You don't
seem excited by that. A bad job by you. You're
waiving it.
