Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our nume berd two as we try to play
the cards the right way here in hour number two.
Do you support the bashing of owner David Tepper for
the benching of Bryce Young. Bryce Young's getting absolved of
all wrongdoing. It's all the owner's fault in Carolina? Do
(00:22):
you support that?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Also?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Can you unravel what Mike Tomlin said about the Steelers
petty game ball given to Russell Wilson. It involves Wieners
and Ben Roethlisberger. He says that justin field should be
QB one in Pittsburgh, even when Russell Wilson is healthy.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Have you seen enough? We bend the wind with our.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Mouth right now in our number two it is a
pile up. Well gome In the beginning of another of
the Benmahlor Show, We are in.

our lead this hour from the Banking Capital of the South.
(02:03):
Do you know what the banking capital of the South is?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
No, it is not Atlanta. That is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
That is right right there, beautifully placed between the Appalachian
Mountains and the beaches of North Carolina. You've got Charlotte
where everyone is still yappin' and getting on the bully pulpit.
The fallout as we have our obligatory post mortem Malard
monologue on the benching heard round the NFL of Bryce Young.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So you weren't following along.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Because you actually have a life and you don't pay
attention to this stuff all the time, like justin in Cincinnati,
who's busy, worried about other things.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Perhaps you missed it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So we've had several prominent and some who think they're
prominent figures in the football media that have come out
throwing haymakers towards one person in particular involved in the
Bryce Young story that you would think it would be
Bryce Young because he's the one that's been le but no,
he has been absolved of all wrongdoing. The focus of
(03:06):
the anger is in the ownership department. Now, Ryan Leaf
member him, knock it off. Ryan Leaf defended Bryce Young,
shocking a bust would defend a bust, and he said
that it's the Panthers organization.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That is the problem.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, and if Ryan Leaf had been drafted by the Patriots,
he would have turned out to be wonderful. Sure, yeah,
that's the ticket.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, Chad Johnson, remember him? O Cho Sinko.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He ripped owner David Tepper and said the benching of
Bryce Young was a bull show. I will clean it
up for the radio, a bullshoy decision, adding, you don't
do nobody like that. That's the King's English. Former Colts
coach Jeff Saturday. How funny is it say that former
Colts coach Jeff Saturday. He's it is an organizational failure.
(04:03):
He then mentioned David Tepper by name, said Tepper is
the one the bag should fall on him.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Now, what kind of bag? A bag of money, because
he's got a lot of that, a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
For David Tepper a lot of money. Guy's worth a
gazillion dollars, well like twenty something billion dollars or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But hey, why not?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
All right, so let us discuss the popular angle by
popular people in the football media.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I can go on and on here. You get the point.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do you support the public bashing of owner David Tepper
for the benching of Bryce Young in Carolina?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So I've got big rand, tender greens, and nursery rhyme,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will get the final word. Hours from now, we'll
get the final word. Numb burn. That's right now.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Consuming media coverage, which is always a dangerous thing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm not part of the mainstream media. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I do this overnight show and a weekend show on
television about.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Gambling, which is not part of the mainstream.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But this media coverage over the top, right over the top.
It was a full on feeding frenzy, and it all
circled back to David Tepper.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It was a full on dogpile. It's still continuing.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I'm not going to sit here and tell you I
don't rubber deck. When there's an accident.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
We all do it right. We all sit there, we
look at the accident.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It was like, all, I mean, blood on the street there,
what's going on? We all look at that. Now that aside, right,
the Robert Baron is not the person to blame in
this little diddy.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's last I checked it. Maybe I'm wrong on this.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I don't watch every Carolina Panther game. How many plays
did David Tepe get out there? He's sixty seven years old,
he just had a birthday last week, Happy birthday?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Was he playing? Maybe I missed it?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And I apologize. I do apologize. If he played and
be the oldest quarterback in NFL history at age sixty seven,
that must be in right. He must have gone out
there and played, and it's his fault and all that.
The way I look at this, and I guess I'm
going to old school here. I believe in accountability. Bryce
Young has to wear this, he has to own it.
(06:28):
He has had multiple coaches who have worked effortlessly to
polish up a turd. That's what they've done. Kid can't
play right. The results are Bryce Young continues to be
a blobfish. A very small blobfish, but a blobfish. Now,
how do we know this follow the teachings of Big
(06:50):
Red Andy Reid. One of the things Andy Reid preaches
is film don't lie right, film don't lie.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, the videotape is ghastly down a rabbit hole.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I was like, I was watching some of this stuff,
and I was like, oh, man, I must be wrong.
I mean, maybe my eyes are lying to me, my
lying eyes here and it's not the player, it's everything
else around him. So I fell down this rabbit hole
on the YouTube and I started watching clips and breakdowns,
and I realized that Bryce Young has only two problems.
(07:23):
He's knee high to a grasshopper and he's got tunnel vision.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Well, a third problem would be pocket panic. That's also there.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But clip after clip showed many times open receivers, open
receivers for the Panthers in which Bryce Young, and these
are in the games this year. Either did not see
them because he had pocket panic, couldn't get them the ball,
or he just checked down because why not.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
He's a checkdown Charlie.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And so he absolutely earned the reduction in rank and
has been guilty of the crime of being an impostor.
And we have some passionate fans of Bryce Young, many
of them also Alabama football fans. We had a guy
call up the other night, Van, the one legged Bama man,
who cursed on the air. He was so passionate defending
(08:18):
Bryce Young. Hours later, Bryce Young would be removed as
the starting quarterback. But he's neutralized himself as much as anybody.
And that does not mean that it's a great situation
in Carolina. And David Tepper is a wonderful owner and
all that. None of those things change the fact that
Bryce Young has not shown any improvement, no improvement. And
(08:44):
this is not a charity. They don't They actually sell tickets.
People actually invest the most important asset. They have their
time watching this crap. And why would you continue to
send that out? Why would you send that impostor that's
what he is, he's imposter.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Send him out there. He's neutralized himself, all right. Page two.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Here we go to Pittsburgh, which, by the way, David
Tepper used to own part of the Steelers. He's a
Pittsburg Guy's a Yinser. Well, the Yinsers this weekend have
a date with the Chargers. Mike Tomlin was asked about
something that happened last week. We had to ask some
audio here we're gonna play. Mike Tomlin was asked about
awarding Russell Wilson a peddy game ball. We learned about
(09:24):
that from the other quarterback, mister Fields, who came out
and announced that now they gave a petty game ball
to Russell Wilson because he played zero snaps and the
Steelers beat the Broncos because bow Nicks is bad at
his job. So Mike Tomlin listen to. Mike Tomlin asked
the question you'll hear. You'll hear his response here asked
(09:46):
about the petty game ball to Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
You know, none of your businesses, respectfully, there's certain things
that go on among teams that I don't talk about
whether it gets out or how it gets out as
unimportant to and I'm not overly guarded against it. But
it is this certain things as a leader that I
talked to the collective about that I have zero intentions
of sharing with the larger public because it's about our
(10:10):
collective and how we come together and how we appreciate
and support one another. And you know, I can't give
you all the ingredients of the hot dog, you might
not like it.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
So Tomlin revealing these are not kosher hot dogs?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Can you unravel? Can you unravel the Mike Tomlin quote
you just heard there about the petty game ball the
money quote that he's been bouncing around the echo chamber
is I can't give you all the ingredients of the
hot dog.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You might not like it.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So this obviously touched a nerve with Mike Tomlin, and he.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Referenced in the middle of that SoundBite he said, it
doesn't he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm paraphrasing here, but he's really mind that this got out.
He then tossed a button there and but is a
dead give it. It's a dead dear way that it
does bother him. He is annoyed by this, and he
likely had a conversation with Justin Fields. But Tomlin hit
is part of the conversation. He's double dipping. He's got
a side hustle, Mike Tomlin, he's working at tender Greens.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Now, forget the.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Macaroni or the Waldorf or the cob. Tomlin is putting
together a classic word salad is what he's doing. Now,
this is the new Pittsburgh salad. Now, I like the
Pittsburgh salad because they just put fries on top. It's
not as good as the Canadian salad, which is the poutine,
but the Pittsburgh salad add on some chopped up hot
(11:30):
dogs on top. That's what Mike Tomlin was serving. This
was a polite way of him saying it's none of
your business. Stay in yond lane is essentially what Mike
Tomlin said, but it is more evidence of the dichotomy
between what goes on in the public specter and what
goes on behind the gates of the.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Big top in the circus.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
All right, now, final point, speaking of the circus, Ben Roethlisberger,
remember him, Yeah, he's still hanging around.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
He's doing some podcasts. Everyone's got a podcast. I even
have one.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So Roethlisberger says that Justin Fields should be the Steelers
QB one, even when Russell Wilson is healthy enough to play,
and Fields will be starting this week against the Chargers
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Have you seen enough? Here's the question for you.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Have you seen enough of Justin Fields two weeks in
to make that decision that he should be the quarterback
going forward?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And I have no skin in the game here.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But I'm shaking my head. Now I'm shaking my head. No,
this is a perplexing take. Methinks it is something personal.
There's some kind of rift that goes back to their
playing days between Ben Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson. I'm not
sure exactly the history on that. Maybe you know something
I don't, but I have a feeling it goes back
to that the Steelers are two and oh.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And while that is true, two and oh is where
you would like to be.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That is a byproduct of playing the human statue Kirk
Cousins and bow Nicks. Oh, mister August. He was great
in August, not so much in the month of September.
So Justin Fields, here is my scouting report on Justin Field.
So far he has been eh. You don't get excited
(13:12):
about eh. Right, you know he's eh. And it really
is like the nursery rhyme test. The nursery rhyme test
is simple. The wheels on the bus go round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round. He
is a bus driver, No he's not. He's a bus rider.
You need a bus driver. He is a bus rider.
(13:34):
That's the problem, right, The wheels on the bus go
round round, and he is He's not the one driving
the bus.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
He's riding the bus. And what is my evidence?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
The Pittsburgh Steelers through two games have played Atlanta, likely
a middling defense, and they have played Denver, also not
expected to be a top ten defense in the NFL.
The Steelers passing offense, out of thirty two teams, is
ranked thirtieth in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
That's not good enough.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Oh, you're just bearing to you're a hater, okay, all right,
you have low standards.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You're a bad fan. That's fine. You could be a
bad fan, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
The only teams that have been worse passing the football
this year are Carolina and Chicago.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Period. Stop. That's it. That's everyone else has been better.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The Patriots with Jacolby Brissett have a better passing offense
than the Pittsburgh Steelers. And we got these dingle berries
like Ben Roethlisberger coming out so well, I would.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Go with I would go with fields he's done enough?
In what world? Has he done enough? Not the world
I'm in.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Maybe your world, but not my world. It is the

to find the amount of night rates and hot dogs
in one of my chemistry classes.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The smell of those class days was pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, well, people bring up hot dogs, But there's a
there's a lot of food, Like if you actually knew
how it was made, you probably wouldn't eat it, Like
you just wouldn't eat anything. You'd just maybe drink water.
But then even water, you're like, that's where the fish
have sex. So I don't know that I want to
drink that. So there's a there's really nothing you can
consume when you actually break it down, that you would
want to put into.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Your body if you actually thought about it. Right, there's
nothing plants.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
There's bugs all over plants, and that's where they know.
The animals urinate and they poop on the plants. It's
all disgusting.

a bug in the fruit, cause it's.

A bug's life. What it's a bug's life?
Speaker 10 (18:52):

Yeah, it's a shame.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
The bugs don't now, don't get me started the bugs
don't honor that humans are going.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
To eat, that they're worried about their own.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Lives and eating what they eat the bugs, and you
want you want to hear I ran about organic and
what a scam organic is and how they can just
charge more money for organic, that it's a total bull
crap and that people have been programmed to buy it,
including my wife.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
By the way, we spend so much extra money on food.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Organic, organic or total bull crap, the industrial complex of food.
It's one of those buzzwords that they know human beings
are stupid, they're weak people, and they hear these certain
words and they.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Okay, I'm you know, you want to help the world.
Organic it's healthier.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Propaganda, be propagand King Roy says, is it true that
since these Steelers play the Chargers this weekend it is
a win win scenario for Eddie Garcia?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
That would be a no, yeah, are you? Is it
true you're flying on the Chargers team playing Eddie? Is
that true?
Speaker 7 (19:54):
I wish there was no team playing. They stayed in
on the East coast, so they will have.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
A flight though for the family that will fly from
LA to Pittsburgh. Not all the families are in North Carolina.
You will not be on the family plane. That I understand.
Milkman Mike and Colorado says, of course, Russell Wilson got
a game ball. Had he played in the game, they
would have certainly lost.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
There you go, all right, very nice. Let's go to
the phones.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
We haven't taken a call yet, and let's say hello

I believe he's in Korea Town. Hello Bill, my former lawyer,
Hello Bill. I think, Hello Bill, Thank you. I didn't.
I didn't. I never asked you how you're doing. Did

Your well, you know, I want to ask you something,
but I forgot, I forgot what they was.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So you called up. You had an agenda, You had
a question you thought was going to be riveting that
the people that are hard at work working the third
shift here and the people that will hear this later
on on the pot podcast, that they wanted to hear this.
And yet you were on hold for so long that
you forgot that. You were so mesmerized by the content
(22:09):
of the show that you lost your agenda. That that
sounds May I recommend sticky notes, like those yellow sticky
you know, you can write a little notes on the
sticket notes, you know all that?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
How about that?
Speaker 11 (22:27):
Okay? But the postage?

Speaker 11 (22:37):
And and uh, the magic number is nine. The magic
number is nine.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
The magic number to be eliminated will be three. If
they don't win the division, it'll be three.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
They're gonna win the division, then win.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
They got no pitching. You're gonna be pitching in one
of the playoff games. They got no pitching. All these
guys break down. They can't handle it because despite all
the nerds that have all the analytics on how many
pitches and how many appearances and how many innings do
you throw? And you'll save the arms. It never works
for the Dodgers. Maybe it works for other teams, but
it doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
For the Dodgers. Tony Gods sings, coling back.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
No, no, no, you're you're like you're you're you're you're
stuck to a moose.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Is what you're doing? A main moose?
Speaker 12 (24:36):
I call, I called up because you were on this
awesome monologue about freaking buzzer buzzer ol to me, and
he got me all ramped up because I hate the guy.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Hey up, Hey up, checking for the buzzers tonight.
Speaker 12 (24:54):
I'll tell you that, you know what, you know what.
I'm looking at a picture of this guy right now.
You know, I'm looking at the picture. This dude's fun.
I think I think I think he shaved his legs.
I'm looking at her right now. Ninety five percent of shore.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Of the guy shades his legs sexy.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's an interesting But maybe maybe
he's a swimmer.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Maybe he's like an Olympic swimmer or something. He's small enough.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
He looks more like a jockey to me, though, I
could see him at Kentucky Derby or something like that.
Speaker 12 (25:19):
When I when I look at this picture, when I
when I replay that horrible image in my mind, first
of all, what a frigging baby, What a freaking baby?
Where's Big Poppy for? The baseball bat when you need him,
just like just like that phone in the dugout. That's
what I want him to do, though, I'll two be
his foot.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Very violent, very violent, fat Dave, very violent.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
That's what you should get for taking her shoes off,
those the whole stadium to COVID because he's.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Trying to get a perfect exactly, risking the health of
forty four thousand, forty four thousand plus people in San
Diego and those germs from that filthy vermin on now
two Bay's foot could have spread all the way around
the ballpark and there could be a mass casualty event.
Speaker 12 (26:06):
He doesn't even ask. You can't even call him athletes,
but he's not even an athlete. It's cheaters.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
But exactly exactly, and he could that day. Man, they
think about the children, What about the children, like those
little kids, and they see this guy take their their
his shoe off, and they think that's allowed, that's not allowed.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
That behavior might be okay in Venezuela, where he comes from.
Up here in the good old United States of America,
you're kicking him shoes on with frame haul.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's a rule exactly exactly, you know, Pete Robs never
took his shoes off when he played baseball, never did it.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
Said something like I got three nipples, so that's why
I didn't want to take my shirt off.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But oh, he's bashful. He ain't bashful.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The guy did a Chippindale's dance in San Diego in
front of forty four thousand men, women and children. He's bashful,
my fat ass, he's bashful. He ain't bashful. He was
wearing a buzzer and everyone should know that by now.
And Baseball gave a half ass investigation because they didn't
want to get all the way down there in the weeds.
(27:13):
And I wouldn't be shocked at people in baseball. No,
they had a buzzer. But they're just trying to cover up,
and they're trying to sugarcoat what happened.
Speaker 12 (27:22):
That's because he's saying that side money for foot rubs
from Rob Manfred in the off season. We got a
little thing going here. He was interested.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Ridiculous. Man, It's it's terrible. All right, I gotta go,
but all right, go away. Thanks.

That is impressive. That is impressive.
Speaker 2 (28:09):

that you're still being forced against your will to give
w NBA scores?

Right?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Fiction fan?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
What the hell's going on?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Malor fun fact?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
All right, here's the fun fact of the hour, and
congratulations it is the year of the kicker. Through two weeks,
it is official. We have had the most field goals
made in the NFL. Actually, this week we had the
most field goals made in a single week.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
In NFL history.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Seventy three field goals were made back in Week two
in the NFL. That is four more than the previous record,
which was held in twenty sixteen. Rather twenty sixteen Week fifteen,
when there were sixty nine field goals made.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And bonus fun fact, bonus.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Fun back, malor fun fact.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
In the first two weeks of the season, where have
you gone? Three hundred yard passers? Our fantasy football teams
miss you. Three hundred yard passes first two weeks NFL
season last ten years, only five, this year only five.
That is by far away we have seen over the
last decade. Last time they were only five or fewer
(30:06):
three hundred yard passers the first two weeks of the season.
You got to go all the way back a generation
ago to nineteen ninety six when Jim Kelly, Mark Brunell,
and Neil O'Donnell.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Were the ones to do it. They were the only
ones to get it done.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
But this year, five, that's it, five three hundredard passers
through two weeks of the NFL season.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
So will you volunteer? You don't have a choice. Did
you see this?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
The University of Tennessee announced they're going to add one
of those up charges to football tickets, a ten percent
talent fee on all football tickets starting next season. How
embarrassing is this for the people in Knoxville and the
people that love Tennessee volunteer football. This fee, they claim
(30:55):
will go to the players, helping to fund the revenue sharing.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
With the players. It is also known as price gouging.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
This is also known as passing on the cost to
the consumer.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Rather than cut into profits, you just pass it on.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And it's like when politicians add, you know, taxes on
gasoline or cigarettes or whatever. Eventually it finds its way
back to the consumer having.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
To pay more.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Right, they put these taxes on. So I live in
a state where they charge for grocery bags, and so
they find ways, they find ways to increase the price
of everything. But this is a bold new frontier, which
is which is pathetic. There's enough money you don't need
to gouge the people that buy the tickets, right, the
boosters are.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
More than happy to fit the bill.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
And really, what Tennessee is saying is they don't have
the deep pocketed boosters. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing this right,
There's no reason to do this if you have the
boosters that are taking gary. Is Alabama doing this? Are
they throwing out the Notre Dome? Are they doing this right?
The hunchback of Notre Dame. No, no, no, no, no no.
This is Tennessee because they don't have no, they don't
(32:13):
have the big money boosters. Apparently that's the problem. That's
my analysis. We're gonna have Mallard of the third degree.
That's coming up in a moment time now for the
Insta Triviua Saints coach Dennis Allen. Dennis Allen quoted blank

Mike in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Who else do we have?

Eke going with his dad Woody Allen as the answer,
Kevin in Florida going with the iconic Doctor Seuss since
he doesn't like green eggs and ham Sam I am,

monologue just dedicated to We used to play that drop
all the time.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Both teams played hard my Man.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
That was outstanding. I had inside information on that. Had
a buddy of mine worked for the Trailblazers. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
All right, Eddie, do you have an answer? Saints coach Dennis.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Allen quoted blank in the locker room after the recent
upset of the Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
I'm gonna say for no reason, in particular, former Detroit
Lions offensive tackle Stalker McDougall.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Oh no, he quoted Kendrick Lamar's not like us is
sometimes you gotta pop out and show them it's mallard.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
To the third degree, this is one big gets grilled.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I'm guessing that Dennis Allen has heard as much of
Kendrick Lamar as I have all.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Right, Kopolo, what do we have here? Mallard of the
third degree.
Speaker 9 (37:27):
It is being reported that Ryan Tannehill is being very
selective about his next NFL destination and.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Lame jokes are on Friday. Please come on, you gotta
wait till Friday.
Speaker 9 (37:38):
He says, if the right opportunity doesn't arise, I'll just
as easily not signed with anyone. And do you think
the right opportunity will arise for Ryan Tannehill?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Oh, let's see.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Uh, he has sucked for at least at least two years.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Nobody brought him to training camp. Uh, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
If the Dolphins didn't call them, then no, the Dolphins
are the perfect opportunity. They got stud wide receivers, playmakers,
a nerd coach that calls the x's and o's. Yeah,
you gots think at this point there's no comeback for
Tannehill that you can stick a fork in him.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
He's done. Next.
Speaker 9 (38:19):
If the New Orleans Saints are able to score forty
points against the Eagles in Week three, they'll be only
the third team in NFL history to accomplish that. Scoring
forty points in Week three or in three weeks in
a row. Ben, What odds do you give the Saints
on pulling this off?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Well, surprisingly, I give them decent odds. I was not
impressed at all with the Eagles defense.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
They don't get.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Pressure at all, and they certainly didn't against Atlanta. There's
some guys out for the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Eagles
defensively are ranked thirtieth in the NFL. So I know
it's only two games, small sample size, but that's all
we have to go with. So I've not been impressed
at all with Philadelphia. So I think they actually have
a sixty five percent say chance?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
How about that? Next?
Speaker 9 (39:02):
So, the Mets and the Braves are in a virtual
tie for the last wild card spot in the NL
been with a couple of weeks left in the regular season.
Who do you think ends up in the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Well, it's seem by the process of eliminating the Atlanta
Braves have lost like their top five players.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Like they're all gone, they're all hurt, they're all gone.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
The Mets they're the healthier team and they've been playing.
But I'm gonna go with the Mets, and just to
break the hearts of Mets fans when they lose, and
they probably will lose in.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
The first round of the Clauffs. But the Mets will
make it. Braves will not. How did we know you
pass this edition?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
You get cutter on the board, Chuck changing, Chut Chang,
and Chuck Chang.
Speaker 12 (39:38):
I won.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
That's a winner.
