Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number fall, our four, and
we have an NFL head coach calling out his players
a group project. What did Antonio Pierce mean when he
was questioning the Raider players for making a business decision

(00:22):
decidding not to show up against the Panthers? Also, how
is Carolina's Bryce Young looking after Andy Dalton torched the
Raiders with the same coaching staff and the same players
around him that Bryce Young looked terrible at. Also, Bears
quarterback Caleb Williams was roasted for his play against the Colts.

(00:42):
Is that deserved? He had a lot of yards, But
is it deserve the criticism of Caleb Williams. We get
to all that and more right now here. It is
our number four. Have a wonderful Monday. Here we go
putting the sin in sin City. Well come, in the

(01:03):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show, we
are in.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
The air awhere comrades in insomnia as we raise Holy Hell, Coast,
stuck coast, Border, the border and beyond on the vast
and staggeringly powerful microphones of FSR, amminating live from the theater,

(01:34):
the Hot Take Theater in the bowels of FSR we're
broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios tyraq dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
We'll help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyrack dot com. The way Tirebank showed be Kaligan
tim in Michigan proves that message. So our lead this hour,

(02:03):
all Things Football, Sunday Night Football. Kansas City came back
beat Atlanta yet again. Call a lot of controversy as
the officials decided not to call blatant pass interference in
the end zone would have given in Atlanta first and
goal to go late in the game on a fourth
down play as it was the pits, Well, the pits

(02:26):
was the one being held in the end zone, but
he decided not to call it. And it had all
it was right there and saw it. But they say
let him play. So another break goes the way of
the Chiefs and they are three and Oh. Travis Kelcey,
I was told by one of my radio friends that
was gonna be his breakout game. That still waiting for it,
Still waiting for the breakout Travis Kelsey game. But our

(02:48):
lead this hour from Vegas, we'll stay in that AFC West,
and that was the scene of a bunch of humble
pot that was being served for the Raiders, a healthy
favorite against the NFL definition of suck right now, the
worst team in the NFL from Carolina, And that is
the recipe for things to go sideways. And boy did

(03:11):
those things go sideways. If you did not see, if
you were not watching, this was not a glamour matchup.
Andy Dalton the red rifle, sticking it to Marvin Lewis,
his old coach who's now with the Raiders. On the sidelines,
they're Andy Dalton, three hundred and nineteen yards, not one,
not two, but three touchdowns, no interceptions, surgically methodically tearing

(03:33):
apart the Silver and Black defense. Holy Max Crosby Batman,
what happened thirty six to twenty two of the final
And all the chatter about the Raiders defense and how
good they were supposed to be, well, they haven't played
well to start the year. There's the only way to
say it as not a good defensive team right now.

(03:53):
As Andy Dalton completed seventy percent of his passes, as
almost always the better stories in the losing locker room,
and that is where Antonio Pierce, the head coach of
our writers. He said, you know what, I'm not gonna
be mister nice guy, just say it wasn't our day.
I'm not gonna get up there and spew a bunch
of cliches. No, no, no, no. Antonio Piers did not

(04:17):
bite his tongue. He called out his players after the
Raiders were emasculated. We have the audio tape. Let's go
to the audio tape.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
The team just didn't seem to show up tonight.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
No, they didn't. I think as the game went on,
I don't think it was a team it was.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
I think there was definitely some individuals that made business
decisions and we'll make business decisions going forward as well.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh your face, oh your face, business decisions.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
He didn't name players here, but again that's the money quote.
So let us discuss what did Here's the question for
the Esteam panel. What did Antonio Piers mean when he
was calling out Raider players for making business decisions? Those
are his words, not mine during the Panthers loss. So
I've got uncle British game show and Beast, and we

(05:09):
will combine all of these things together and we will
provide you a late night early morning infomercial is what
we're gonna do. I remember reading a book about infomercials
and they said that a lot of them on the
TV they just put people that look like they're doctors
but aren't actually doctors. But if you put somebody on
TV that has like a doctor's coat, people think they're doctors.

(05:31):
And they never really checked. All right, so anyway to
kick off here got sidetracked. So Antonio Pierce al writers
head coach. Everyone loves him. He's got the whole Compton backstory, right,
grew up a Raider fan, but this was a bad
day at the office, a terrible day at the office,
and goes without saying to lose to the most embarrassing

(05:52):
franchise in football, the Carolina Panthers and your home opener
and get blown out. Now, Antonio Pierce did not name
individual players. They're full we have the editorial freedom because
he chose not to name individual players. He just said
the group that we can then name those players. And
after a minutes long malord investigation as we activated the

(06:13):
MiB Malord Investigative Bureau and we started snooping around. I
understand it goes against football. De Korum, you can't name
individual players, but we are allowed to speculate because he
didn't name those players. The smart money says, after looking
over the situation, this is all about uncle, not crying
uncle like Uncle Fester from the Adams family, Right, Davonte Adams,

(06:37):
it's got to be Devontae Adams. It has to be
Devonte Adams. It's gotta be now. I don't know for sure.
I'm just speculating. Isn't that a logical place to start?
Davonte Adams he got the big money contract. A lot
of those guys in the Raiders don't have the big
money contract. I think it's Devonte Adams that he was
calling him out indirectly, and Davante is the headliner. He's

(06:58):
a wide receiver there. He just four catches nine targets.
He caught less than fifty percent of his targets for
a very pedestrian forty yards on nine targets. And that
is a pathetic business decision. If that was his decision.
And I show up there and he had really bad
body language didn't get talked about as much because the

(07:18):
story in Dallas with Ceedee Lamb was worse. But the
trade deadline is not until early November, would the Raiders decide, Hey,
if this guy's gonna not show up and make a
business decision, we are going to make a business decision.

(07:38):
I mean that's the question, right, Are we gonna make
a business decision and trade him to the Jets or wherever?

Speaker 5 (07:47):
So?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Eh, pretty crazy? All right, now, pagtrue here following up. Now,
we talked about this on Benny Versus the Penny last week,
and we were talking about Bryce Young came up a
little bit in the conversation and Bryce Young getting benched
for Andy Dalton. And then Andy Dalton goes out and
tortures the Raiders. How is Bryce Young looking today after

(08:13):
Andy Dalton goes out and has the top day or
one of the top days of the young NFL seasons.
So Dalton, he made that owner David Tepper. Everyone's ripping
David Tepper, right. Oh, he's an idiot, He's the village idiot.
But he made David Tepper and coach Dave Canalis look
like great fortune tellers. Right. And I watched some of
these pregame shows on television on Sunday and they were

(08:36):
ripping him, like the media elites were tearing apart the
big talking heads were ripping David Tepper all the way.
I saw Jimmy Johnson on Fox. I saw Nick Saban
on ESPN over the weekend taking shots at David Tepper.
But Bryce Young can't play right, and so it's like
that British game show, you are the weakest link, goodbye, right.

(08:58):
The Raiders did not play well. They didn't play well. However,
if Bryce had played, the Raiders would have won that game.
He's that bad. I talked about this last week in
a previous episode of the show. I fell down a
rabbit hole on the YouTube and they were breaking down
Bryce Young and his throws, and there were people open

(09:21):
and he was either wasn't seeing them or he was
checking down. The funniest was the last game that Bryce
Young played against the Chargers, where he would just go
to the checkdown as his number one option. Now, I
never played in the NFL, but even I know that's absurd.
It's absolutely absurd. So he was the weakest link, and
all these people defending him and blaming the oldership. I

(09:43):
get the David Tepper's he's got issues, I get that right,
but that does not mean that the decision to bench
Bryce Young is not the correct decision. If they could
go out there with Andy Dalton in year fourteen and
slice up the Raiders the way they did. Come on same,

(10:03):
I'm told, terrible offensive line, poor playmakers, incompetent coaching staff,
and Andy Dalton is the antithesis of Bryce Young showing
that the benching was warranted and deserved. It was deserved,
and these quarterback apologists dries me insane. I mean stop

(10:24):
all right, now, last thing here, how about the play
of Caleb Williams. Now, you say he had big stats
and he played well. Caleb Williams being roasted even though
he had over three hundred yards passing and a couple
of touchdowns? Is that deserved? And you can't see me,
but I'm nodding my head. Yes, it is deserved because
that is the nature of the beast. He was the

(10:46):
number one over and outside of some viral video clips
on TikTok, he has been terrible, absolute weak sauce. And
here's the other thing is it always drives me nuts, right,
the people that don't watch the games and just leak
at the box score and said, you probably weren't watching
this game unless you're a degenerate gambler. And you're watching

(11:06):
the game and I was flipping around and the numbers
don't look that bad, right, Caleb Willis had three hundred
and sixty three yards and two touchdowns. Spoilerlert misleading. It
is misleading. Here's why he turned the ball over, Kileb
Williams not one, not two, but three times. And the
yards that he had was inflated because if you were

(11:28):
watching the game in the first half, there was a
hail merrit that was caught but fell a yard short
of the end zone, so it was just empty statistics.
It didn't the whole point of the play was to
get a touchdown. They didn't get a touchdown. And and
you also had that second half when the Colts and
late in the game were just kind of like playing

(11:48):
the version of the prevent defense, and he got a
bunch of yards in the fourth court, kind of like
Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott fattened up his stats. The game
was over and he fattened up his stats. It is

sensitive sniffer, Yeah, jumping Jack of wisecrack, inside of overnight Medicine,
Man Mallard nay Bob of negativity, the Sage of outrage,
the Pinnacle of cynical, the Prince of preposterous, the Professor
of propaganda, the Hizzar of hyperbolee, the floating tur of

(14:44):
the spoken word, and the Manhatter of sports. Every night
you missed one. See, this is where you you write
your material. It's not funny. You're you're gonna say something,
you're gonna laugh awkwardly, and you're gonna turn the mic
off and then I know how this goes. You're the
fair in this script.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
You're the Pharaoh of flatulence, just saying and I'm not
gonna laugh this time. You're the one laughing, sir.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
He just laugh again. He can't help it, he can't
help it. Yeah, your new Nate Dame is chopping. Does
anyone disagree? Because when he's doing this, he's very cheap.
There's not a lot of smoothness to it. You know,
your goldilocks, O, they weren't a hat. You losing your hair.
We just tried to find that. Uh you know that
little intro that that you paid for that you I

(15:33):
didn't pay for A listener who lives who's in the
Ukraine right now fighting the Russians paid for it. I
didn't pay for it. Oh okay, so you so you
admit that it was paid for. I didn't pay for it.
It was a gift. So you deleted a gift. No,
I didn't not delete it, but I just I don't know.
You don't know where it is. Yeah, it's convenient things
that make me look good. You don't know where they are.
We searched the word bopper with Benny, with Benny with bopper, Yeah,

(15:57):
put Benny in there, you know. I found this one?

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Is the it?

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Then baby radio Baby? No, that's stupid, that's dumb. Who
put that in there? That's a ridiculous song. I need
to delete it. But it's pointless to have that in there. Yeah,
that's interesting. Well maybe it never made the system because
it made me look good. So you didn't put it in. No,
Roberto had it in it. I don't think he did.

(16:20):
I think I don't think he did. I think that
was when Roberto checked out when he decided he wanted
to be a bus driver and he stopped putting stuff in.
I think that might have been that period of time
when he'd stop working before he left, Yeah, which I love.
It was that the last couple of years or what? Wow?
Finally No, but there's a the great thing about radio

(16:40):
when there's somebody decides they don't want to work in
radio anymore, they stopped trying, uh, And it's just it
just makes it very awkward for those that are still trying.
It makes it very very difficult. Yes, there are some
names that I could think of it. Let's go to
the phone. So let's say hello to eeny meany miny mole.
Let's say hello to Cody, who is hanging out with

(17:02):
us in Minnesota. Hello, Cody, Welcome. What's going on man, Cody? Cody?
Cody the Minnesota Vikings the greatest Viking team since a
year ago or.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Two, so I called before the season started. I basically
was about to.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Put Sam Donald in the trash can. And I mean,
I don't even know what's going on right now.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
I'm only cloud nine. This is unreal. Like in Sam,
we trust.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
For now. Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't trust him in
a playoff game though, Yeah, he's plan right now. I
don't trust him. I put him in that same I
put him in the same back, you know, I put
him in the same basket like Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield
had some good stats. I still don't trust him. Derek
Carr like, they're okay, they're serviceable regular season quarterbacks, but

(17:53):
I don't trust them in.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
A Well, let's let me let's let's take a look
at what they've done. They've beat the Ins who suck,
the Niners who are beaten up and and have injured players,
and then the Texans who are supposed to be good
but so far this season have not looked good despite
the hype two and oh start.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Not a hype.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah look good? And the forty nine Ers just lost
to the Rams, who had two offensive linemen out, two
starting receivers out, and also two defensive starts. Eyven, we're
down six starts. How the hell did the man? How
did the Rams win that game without six stars against nuners?
But listen, things are going well now, and you know,
peeking ahead, assuming Jordan Love doesn't come back. That Green

(18:34):
Bay game at Lambeau next week and Week four is
a winnable game for the Vikings. And I don't think
the Jets are going to blow anybody out of them,
the Patriots, so you play them after that. So things
are looking good.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
The defense that we got, I'm not scared of anything.

Speaker 8 (18:49):
We're handing out the business less and right.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Look at you. You're walking around like a peacock with
your feathers out. Now you're all you're you're feeling good.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Yeah, do We're handled it out. Anybody can get one.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I wouldn't get one, Okay, all right, well thank you.
It's not the most difficult schedule. You look down the line.
Minnesota's got games down the line with the Titans, who stink.
Jacksonville is no good. The Bears, that's a joke. Well
obviously in the division they play them twice. The Cardinals
they're not that great. So it's a manageable situation. It is.

(19:25):
Let's go back to the phones. We'll say hello to
any Meani miney mo. Let's say hello to Jed who
fled Hello Jed in.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Florida, Trump, Transformers, narcotics, and diskis anywhere to be found.
Because I just want to keep it for myself. If
we'll get a file of it a clip.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, I'm sure they have that. I mean anything that
makes me look good. They don't have anything that makes
you look good. I'm sure they have it somewhere.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
We got the roll around the road.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
I don't know that was it, but I'd like to
hear that effecte.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
We we don't have that.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
That's friansformers, narcotics and disguis.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Are you happy eat lower?

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Dude, David, that top of years is like he lieum
thefot hit beauty. But anyway, but ask you, dude, I
tried to get you to check it out.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
I'm glad you.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Hopefully you didn't see my tweet correspond to it.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
You said you have a relative that plays for Kansas
State right they were playing they were playing b yu
Am I correct. I did watch some of that game.
I was out out of high school.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Out of high school only probably came to offering in
case state a business decision to the Grapevine. You know,
he hid into the portal because he's quote, I want
to be loyal to the team that gave me an offer.
I said, Jason, we don't. You're my second cousin. You're
younger than me. You don't listen to because I got
drug addictions, you know in the past, Dude, business decision.
Take the Florida State offer. Dude, I'm so glad that

(20:42):
he knew what he was doing, because I would have
my reputation and my credibility is already shot like a
machine gun shot like a like death by whatever when
you stand them up there and you shoot him. Dang,
I came, remember the words, but it's a right. But
I mean, that would be my credibility to being the
worst if he had transferred to Florida State.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Don't I've got a.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Ten million dollars bound, dude, How we passed? How do
we get that?

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yes, a lot of drugs to pay off the ten million.
That's a lot. That's a lot of dope USL. But
your season was over before it even began. That was
like week zero, right, they went over a season lost
to Florida State. Your season was done before it even begins.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
We're old to setch you in at the begin we have, dude.
When I start calling people like you the drugs, they're
not gonna buy them, dude, because and then the hat
get you know, the hat doesn't fill up.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
You thank god. We don't got the standards, dude. Man,
thank you Lord. I'm so serious.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Dude. If that don't make you be religious, wont will
How how bad is it going to the explosion when
he gets fired?

Speaker 5 (21:37):
How bad is it going to be? Dude?

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Just just give me a happiness for that?

Speaker 5 (21:40):
How awesome is it going to be?

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I thank you, but you should No, I do have
to I have other people who want to try have
to go. I don't have to leave you. I don't
have to leave you on Why are you entitled so
much air time? So we die? Let's go to Chris,
who's in the CommonWell? Hello Chris? The Patriots did not
play yesterday. Christ Before say, you could argue they had

(22:03):
a bye week. They didn't play last week at all.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Well, man, I wanted the ginger Man.

Speaker 8 (22:09):
I'd love Dalton. I'm an Andy Dalton closet lover, and
we got Jacoby Brossette Jacoby, and look at what the
change it did yesterday.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
I wouldn't get too excited about any Dalton, but he's
better than I will agree, he's better than Brissette. Of course,
you could probably go down to the park and find
somebody better than Brissette.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Ben Man.

Speaker 8 (22:35):
It was just a bad week for me on the board,
but at least I took the jet to my elimination fool,
So I'm happy standalize.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Just whoever the Patriots play, just take the other gym?

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Will they win another game? Are they? Once they start settling?
I remember in baseball I had a manager said, you
don't want to play bad teams earlier in the year
in baseball because they don't realize they're bad. I wonder
if the same thing applies to football, because, like the Patriots,
are you gonna start realizing by we really suck? And
then the injured they don't have any depth. So once
gys start getting hurt and you're playing backups of backups,

(23:09):
forget about it.

Speaker 8 (23:11):
Jake May is gonna get crushed. Put him in and
he'll just get He'll be like shell shock.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Like I read I read, Uh, Chris, somebody was like, oh,
Drake May look good. I said, who do you who?
What what were you watching? He looked good? He'll look good.
Who's good? What is your definition of good? I mean,
I know he only played a few plays in the
fourth quarter, but he didn't look good when.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
He was in there, thank you for my Monday bet
all right, I missed.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Going to ask. I mean that's an I'm still It's
early in the season, so long, we're doing this all year.
It's all year. I will be heard from one of
these weeks when I when I did Benny versus Depending
on radio, there were weeks I lost like two or
three games all weekend and I've not had one of
those on the TV thing. I blame the cameras. That's
what I blame. I blame the cameras because without the cameras,

(24:10):
I was great, and now they put cameras in makeup,
and all of a sudden I sucked. So I'm doing
the same things I did before. Although this weekend, Chris,
there's two things. There's two mistakes, actually three mistakes. I made.
Number one. I always anytime there's a divisional game seven
or more points to take the points, and I was
almost gonna flip the game. I took the forty nine
Ers because the Rams said so many injuries by the

(24:30):
time we taped the TV show, and by the time
the forty nine Ers and Rams played, the Niners lost
like two or three of their guys. I was gonna
go I was gonna back the Rams, but I didn't,
you know, obviously hindsight and then Kyler Murray and Derek Carr.
Never trust those guys never and I did this weekend,
and I deserve to lose both those games. What what? What?

(24:55):
All right? Lorena Chris in the Commonwealth loves you, thank you?
All right? All right, I'm hanging up going I'm still
waiting on jail mail. Oh yes, right, we need some
of the boys in prison. Well that guy that called
up earlier is going to jail for six He's going
to jail, so if he wants to send me something while.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
He's in there, yeah, well, Ben, just put out the
call like at the end of last week.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
It takes they have to screen the mail and then yeah,
they got to get money for postage. They gotta smeell
cigarettes around the prison yard to get money. I should
send them back something. Oh see, then you'll definitely get it.
You'll definitely get it. Be careful to rate it because
if you say you're going to send the boys in
prison something, they're going to want something. And whatever they

(25:37):
do with that something I cannot control. So I'm just
saying so all right, noted, Okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well an NFL rookie turning to the football version of
a teleprompter. That would be Caleb Williams. Prior to the
Chicago Bears going out and losing to the Indianapolis Colts,
Kila Williams, it was breathlessly reported, was going to wear
a Wrist Brand wristband for the first time, the football
version of a telepropter with all the plays on it. Now,

(26:12):
a couple of reasons this is interesting. First of all,
we were told how brilliant Caleb Williams was. He didn't
need that. He knew everything. He was the smartest guy.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
In the world.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
He knew all of its whole thing. So if you
watched Hard Knocks it all they were celebrating the brains
of Caleb Willy as well. Clearly that was just blowing smoke,
is what it was. So you got that, then you've
also got how bad this looks for Lane Kiffin and
not Lane Kiff. I get late there, he goes, I

(26:43):
blame your fault. It's your fault, Finley, Yeah, it's everybody
else's fault. Yeah, well you say he got screw up fault,
this screw up Jones keeping up with the Joneses and
all that. All those lanes are the same, you know,
all those lanes are the same. But anyway, the point
is at USC supposed to be like all world and
all that stuff, and he knew everything and it was

(27:04):
just great. And I don't know about that.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
I would use a riskman, I would use a wristband.
I would definitely do that. But Lincoln Riley, by the way,
I was watching the USC Michigan game and they were
the broadcasters kept saying, oh, you know, USC proved that
they belong in the Big Ten. And the whole time
I'm hearing that, I'm like, well, he just got run
over by Michigan. Like, how did they prove they belonged

(27:28):
in the Big ten when Michigan? How many yards rushing
did they have?

Speaker 5 (27:32):
It?

Speaker 1 (27:33):
They only had like thirty yards passing in that game,
so they know they were out physical by Michigan in
that game. Anyway, le's go to the phones and we'll
say hello to Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel, good morning.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
