Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numumber two on this the
twenty sixth day of the month of September. Here, Happy
Thursday to you, and the podcast will chatter about to
a tongue of by Loa Deshaun Watson. We'll talk about
Caleb Williams with the Bears as well. It is all
(00:20):
coming your way right now here. It is our number
two still part of the pod. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malar Show. We are
in the air everywhere, denizens, as we own the audio
(00:42):
dance floor. We do, We absolutely do, coast to coast,
border the border in beyond. On the mast, it's stratapherically
powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from the Gong
the Gong Show on the radio. We're broadcasting live from
the tier raq dot com studios. Tierraq dot com will
(01:05):
help you get there. Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended in stars.
Tim mcdarby says about ten thousand stories a day tire
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be. So
our lead this hour is from the NFL. It's all NFL,
(01:30):
all the time, so South Beach adjacent. We're gonna call
this one. We all know that Tua tongueba Loa on
a nationally televised island game against Buffalo, Tua suffered a
third concussion. At least it might be four or five,
who knows, but at least three, and it happened on
(01:50):
an island game. In his NFL career, he's been marred
by concussions. Now, many people have written think pieces saying
that Touurs should retire and that he never played again
and that kind of thing. So we have no information
out though if you have not heard, maybe not. We
are told that to a tongue of Bailoa is preparing
(02:13):
to return to the Dolphins. He's hell bent on playing again,
at least that's the story, and not retiring, not leaving
his NFL career behind. So the tell, if you will,
is that the Dolphins are not They're not actively trying
to acquire a quarterback. They have quartered the market on
(02:34):
suckbag quarterbacks in Miami. They just don't have anyone who's
any good. And if they can't run the ball, they're
not gonna be able to win any games. They already
won one against Jacksonville. But if they can't run the ball,
they don't have a quarterback, they're screwed, right, And so
(02:54):
everything is pointing towards to a tongue of Ailoa at
least attempting to come back. Now, he's not eligible to
come back until I think Week seven, so there's still
several more games to go before he's allowed to come back.
But let us discuss the question. Dolphins injured quarterback to
a tongue of by Loa apparently wants to play again
(03:18):
this season. How does this all play out? How does
all this play out? So I've got rubber goblin and
ted nugent, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make tires. You'll hear
more about tires coming up in a little bit. So
number that's number. There are a bunch of words that
(03:43):
are being tossed out about to a tongue about Loa,
and at this point it's all empty. There's no there there.
If you know what I mean. It's this is like
a marriage situation. It's I know, it's a business relationship.
It's like a marriage. And they're in a contractual agreement here.
It's an arranged marriage, and you really have to look
(04:06):
at the fine print. Because Tua has publicly indicated he
has to He has to publicly indicate that he wants
to play for the Dolphins, even if he doesn't want
to play again. Even if Tua says I hate football,
I never want to put a helmet on again, he
can't say that. He has to play the game right
and say that he wants to come back, because if
(04:28):
he says I'm retiring, that's it, I'm done, as I
understand it, then he would end up losing millions and
millions of dollars. So he has to go through the
bureaucracy of the NFL. And the Dolphins on the other hand,
they have to say they want to a back because
(04:49):
if they don't. Either way, if he wants to play,
they got to pay him. Right, he's under contract and
so they have to honor the deal. But where the
rubber meets the road is when we get to the point.
I guess it's like hockey. I think they still have
this third man in third man in right. So you
got the Dolphins on one side who have to allow
to have back. You've got two on the other side
(05:11):
that wants to come back allegedly. So third man in
would be a brain surgeon, a brain doctor, a medical
practitioner who will determine whether or not they want to
sign off on allowing Tour to come back to the NFL.
And as long as he has all of his faculties
(05:33):
and you tell him here's what could happen, X, Y,
and Z. If you play and he wants to play,
that's on him, then you can medically clear Tua. The
issue becomes down downstream liability that becomes a problem. But
assuming you have everything vetted by lawyers and you have
(05:53):
an independent brain doctor, then there is a path for
two to come back and play for the Dolphins. Now
we go to Cleveland where Deshaun Watson that's my quarterback,
not my quarterback, your quarterback. Well, Deshaun Watson wants you
to know that he is not not a running back,
and just to prove that, let's go to the audio tape.
(06:14):
If I don't have to run, I'm not gonna run.
So really, I'm not trying to take any his because
I'm not a running quarterback in a sense, I can
make things happen, but I'm not trying to run. I'm
not a running back. That's not my specialties.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
They signed me to throw the ball, make decisions, and
be a quarterback, not a runner.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So that was the creepy quarterback as we call them,
Deshaun Watson, who pushed back on the idea that the
Browns should have him run the ball more more designed
runs for the quarterback, saying he's not a running back.
So how does that one hit you? So it's on brand.
Deshaun Watson ever since he got from Cleveland has been
(06:54):
a hot mess and this continues and it's like he's
in goblin mode, just disheveled and just a hot mess
there with the Brownies. Most of the quarterbacks job. Maybe
I'm wrong on this, you can correct me, but most
of the quarterback's job is decision making, right decision making.
When you hold it, that's fine, but you're more likely
(07:18):
to get sacked. But when to hold it, when to
throw it, when to run? And are you making the
right decision? And the evidence, the overwhelming evidence beyond a
reasonable doubt, is that Watson more times than not, is
not making the right decision. Now, many people to pointed
out the Browns offensive line sucks, and it is true.
(07:39):
There are backup offensive line and playing for the Browns. However,
there are ways you can mitigate an offensive line by
making quicker decisions. Right, Watson is being paid a premium
to play quarterback, but he's being played paid a premium
and he's provided nothing. But he's provided nothing but piecemeal results.
(08:04):
So maybe you should try running because throwing the ball
is not going that well. All right now, final point.
Here a viral clip from the past to weekend in
the NFL shows Caleb Williams. I don't know if you
saw this or not, in that Bears game with the Colts,
he gets all fed up with the OC Shane Waldron,
(08:24):
the old Seahawk, and Ram Coach. So what do you
make of that? He seemed pretty upset. He had a
lot of gyrations there, Caleb Williams. So the way I
interpreted it, in the way what I make of the
video clip is Caleb Williams. He went ted nugent, little
(08:46):
cat scratch fevers where he went right, bad body language,
poudy face. Now, I'm an amateur lip reader, and based
on what I was able to determine from looking at
Caleb Williams and his verbal diatribe, his question was what
are we doing? That's what it looked like to me.
(09:08):
So based on that, and the Bears off to a
terrible start offensively in terms of the passing game. This year,
they play the Rams this weekend, so things should yet
a bit easier. The Rams have no defense. I mean,
they are brutally. I don't know how they beat the
forty nine er. They can't stop the pass at all.
But that's a different conversation. But anyway, so Caleb Williams,
(09:29):
he's upset. It appears to be already fed up with
his coach, his direct coach, the offensive coordinator there in Chicago.
So the obvious thing is, well that didn't take very long.
The Bears have the NFL's twenty fifth ranked passing offense.
It's only been three games, all right, Well that's every
team's played the same amount of games, and the Bears
(09:50):
are twenty fifth out of thirty two and they had
the number one overall pick and never ever played before
this year in the NFL. Obviously, Caleb Williams and uh,
he obviously, based on his body, which just thinks he
knows knows more than the offensive coordinator. Maybe he does.
(10:13):
But here's the other thing, I'm pretty sure the Bears
do allow their quarterback to audible, So now not all
the time. But if the play is that bad, the
play being called is that terrible, isn't it possible that
you would be able to audible out of it? And
I don't know, call the different play change to play
at the line of scrimmage or do they not trust
(10:35):
Caleb Williams to do that? Who knows? Inquiring minds would
like to know. It is the Ban Mallard Show. If

Art Puffin says all kidding aside mental and physical health
overall toa should step down for his own good All right, Yeah,
I don't think that's gonna happen, not unless he gets
(12:42):
paid that money. Late Night Drug Tester says disappointed with
the Cleveland media when Watson said he isn't a running quarterback,
the follow up should have been, you aren't much of
a passion quarterback either. That would have been a great line,
would have been outstanding. Burn Yeah, barbarawing len Wrights and
(13:02):
says Tua has had three times where it's obvious his
brain has been heavily scrambled. Who knows how many other
times it has slightly been stirred. Well, you don't know

Speaker 5 (13:26):
Yeah, long time, no talk.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Where you been?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I am back on the day shift, so I've been sleeping,
but I'm back. Oh Man seasons back, hockey's in fulks wing.
The sabers look amazing. They smoked Eddie's penguins like clowns
this past week. It was great.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
But Andy that said, it's exhibition hockey. That's wrong with you.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
It was seventy sixty three, absolutely annihilated, and they beat
him up with their fifth.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I know you're a Penguins fan, Andy, I didn't realize
that I'm a Savorite fan. Well, I know, but Eddie
is not. Eddie's not a Penguins fan. He likes the Kings,
not the Penguins.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
No, he's the second team. He likes the Penguins. He's
got two teams.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Is that true, Eddie? You have two teams? You have
two teams, Eddie, is that true?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Not in, not in, not in hockey?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Now in your face, in your face. He said no,
he said no.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
He's got two football teams and two hockey teams. It's true,
it's true.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And two baseball teams. He has the Pirates and the Dodgers, right,
Is that true? I would say, no baseball teams, no baseball.
Done with baseball. It's all over.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
But but Ben, ben.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I Ben, I've been.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You started with hockey. What do you want me to do?
You started with hockey. I didn't start with hockey. You
started with hockey.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Well, I've been I've just been really upset, like I've
just been hearing since March like and you know, like
Josh Allen, he doesn't have bigs anymore, he's nothing, and
we have no number one wide receiver. It's been so tough,
and we let the chefs have Xavier Worthy and we
got Keyan Coleman and Josh Allen's a turnover machine and
our team fence lost so many key parts. And the
(15:02):
Dolphins have the number one offense and Josh Allen has
a has a passer rating of one three three point
seven and he has nine t ds and he has
are you done?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
All?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
If John Allen keeps this up, bend Lamar Jackson is
gonna win another m v P.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, I keep remembering, Uh, there was a guy and
I forget his name. I think he was in the
comic books that used to call me up when I
pointed out that Stefan Diggs was a trojan horse in Buffalo,
and this guy called up. I'm literally on the air,
if I remember. He would lick the toes of Stefan
Diggs me and would say, ohow, this is all just
(15:47):
the media, there's nothing and all that. And I don't
know what ever happened to that guy. Do you know
what happened to that guy? I don't know what happened.
And I called up and just defended the hell out
of Stefan days.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Who steps.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Now now he's uh, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure. So
you did you sell your Stefan Diggs knee pads or
did you leave him in the closet?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I never had. I've only got Josh Allen pad. That's it,
and I've got multiple pairs.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
But I think you would agree Andy that if Josh
Allen wanted Stefan Diggs on the Bills still, they wouldn't
have traded Stefan Diggs that he was in He was
in cahoots with the trade of Stefan Digs absolutely.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
And I said this last year, the last ten games,
the Fawn Diggs had forty more targets than Khalis Shakir
and they had the same amount of yards and khalilshak
had two more touchdowns in the last ten games last year,
I said all off season, this is Josh Allen X
ball year. Who are you going to cover?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Look at that?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, but but he's not He's not gonna be the
He's not gonna be the m v.

Speaker 3 (17:02):

Speaker 1 (17:03):
You say that every year? The same never same, Yeah

Speaker 2 (17:08):
He's been telling me for a couple of years. These
Sabers are going to make the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
They don't have not maybe the playoffs making the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh wow, I've never heard that before.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
How many years in a row has it been seventh
seed in the EASTA How.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Many years in a row have they missed the playoffs?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
We're gonna we're gonna double or nothing.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'll get you to I know you know the answer,
but you're intentionally not saying it. That's just wait. What
did you say was how many years in a row
have they missed the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Fourteen for fourteen? Really?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Wown's where's the dominator go on? Dominic has wow fourteen
st Buffalo he's so well he's not playing. But man,
all right. More importantly, what happened? What happened to the
comic book shop? What happened?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I relocated it. I'm actually in the process right now.
I don't want to put any carts before horses.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
All right, but it will it will reopen you'll.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yeah, I'm in some talks right now with a pretty
pretty sexy partner. No not Josh Allen, a different all.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Right, well, good luck. Let us know he was posted.
All right, all right, wonderful call. So so happy we
took that talk. Chris writes in I think he's in Ohio.
He says, can we put comic book Andy back on
the day shift?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh? Sure? Why not?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Scrooge said, everyone said that Damar Hamlin should step down,
and now he is a big comeback story. That's right.
People said I didn't think he would ever play again,
but he's back. Says watch Tua. Scrooge says, watch Tua
come back and have a good game, and then everyone
(18:48):
will start changing their opinion. And here's the problem, though, Scrooge,
here's the problem. I don't doubt that Tua could come
back and play well. But this is the ultimate ticking
time bomb. And they don't have a backup quarterback in Miami.
There's nothing there. Uh, They're they're done in terms of
(19:08):
you know, he's he's hanging on by a wing and
a prayer to it is at this even he comes
back fur Dog writes in from Soulcally says, I remember
that comic book nerd who used to call up defending
Stefan Diggs. I hated that guy. I'm glad he's gone.
So are we? So are we. Let's go back to

Well, you know, you know all about culture, you know
all about the culture.
Speaker 3 (21:01):

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And how many w NBA games did you watch before
Caitlyn Clark?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well there was before, not many, she answered, zero. Sports
world over the next couple of years for the women,
the culture of the women, the players. Yeah, do you
know how many more girls are playing basketball now in
New York City?

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Tell me how many more? Tell me exactly? Tell me
an exact number. Tell me an exact number.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Well, there's not a number. It's a percentage. But if
you want to go to numbers, as a percentage of
one hundred thousand girls more have signed up to play basket.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
So let me let me ask you this. Why is
these women? Why are they not watching any of the
other games other than the Caitlyn Clark cames?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Oh, because they're like Cat and Clark. What do you
want from me? I didn't know what do.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
You want from you? But it's like she hasn't improved
the product in terms of nobody's watching the other teams
other than her in the actual ratings game. It's embarrassing
the ratings. No one's watching these other teams other than
when Clark plays well.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
She's bringing in millions of dollars more. Okay, that's all
I can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
What do you what do you care? You don't work

not eating these and those are expensive hot even Coop
wouldn't need them. Yeah, it was bad, you know, and
I wanted to eat. I love those hot dogs, very
hot dog, very good, delicious.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, hopefully we'll find out later what those those treats
might be.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
What's in the box.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
All right, Ben Mallard Show. No time for fun facts.
We have bonus live reads. We'll get to that coming
up in a little bit. Here a live reed for Draftking.
I know the is excited about that. It'll be coming
up here in a little bit. But it's all about
the battle of the balls. Remember when Shoheo Tani had
that dramatic day where he hit every ball to the
(26:13):
moon against the Marlins and he joined the fifty to
fifty club. Well, that baseball can't be yours if the
price is right. It is being put up for auction.
We are told the opening bid, the starting bid for
the Otani ball. He's five hundred thousand dollars. That's a
(26:34):
minimum bid.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I thought it would be more than that.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Well, that's the baseline. And then they want a bidding war.
You want a couple of people to bid on it,
A couple of aristocrats tod on it. But there is
a fly in the ointment here. Oh, because a kid
that was battling for the ball, the Battle of the Balls,
to try to get that ball in Miami. This eighteen
year old kid. I guess he's all grown up at eighteen.
(26:58):
But this guy is suing over the Otani ball. His
claim is that he had possession of the ball and
the ball was stolen from him by an evil older man.
Then an older guy stole the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Got to keep the ball in your possession or you
don't have it.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I agree. I am on the side of the person
that ended up with the ball, because I see your ball, sir,
I'd like to see if you truly had your hands
all over the ball, you would not have lost the ball.
The ball would not have gone to somebody else. So
therefore right, I mean, I don't think. I watched a
clip online from Miami, and it was shocking because there
were actually fans there in a Marlins game other than
(27:39):
Marlins man. But I did not see any kind of weapon,
Like I don't think the older guy used a naive
for a gun. He just used old man's strength. And
I don't even think he's that old. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Whoever comes out of the scrum and lifts their arm
in the air with the ball in their hand, that's
who the ball belongs. Get If you get it stolen
after that, then I would say you've got something. But
if there's a scrum on the ground there getting the
ball and you come out with your hand up, that
ball's yours.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah no, I yeah, well it's not good radio. We
all agree. But if you watch the clip, the kid,
I think he I want to say, he's in a
baseball hat, like a blue baseball hat. I think that's
the kid. I don't know for sure, but it looked
like he thought he had the ball and then he
lost the ball, and then the older guy, yeah, yeah, there,
(28:32):
you know he's one of Miami Marlin shirt. I'm watching
the clip right now, he's got his hat on backwards,
kind of a nerdy looking white dude. And then the
other guy who's like a middle aged guy, but he's
got those annoying Miami like jeans on and stuff, and
he got the ball. And so the eighteen year old
has a lawyered up. Now, the guy that got the ball,
(28:53):
he's he's older, but he only looks like he's in
his thirties. He doesn't look that old to me. It's
not like he's an old old guy. But compared to
the eighteen year old, Yeah, the eighteen.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Year old should just be happy that it wasn't at
Dodger Stadium or else he might have been stabbed.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Let's say hello to Mike
the lebrecaon. Hello, Mike the lebrecn in Boston. He's number too.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Good morning, Bend. I'm doing my Floyd voice. All right, Floyd.
What does Lorena say about the battle of the balls.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
What do you think, Lorena Rainy? You want to comment
on the balls?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Who should have the ball? Does this guy have an argument?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I think whoever shows it at the moment, it's their ball.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
There you go go, taking other people's balls.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Right, you keep it, she said.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
I are you really good about the weekends?

Well I'm giving I'm giving you all a break from
my humor. I did a poem for Halloween. James here,
Oh you have a poem all right? For Halloween?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
James.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Really, only only for Halloween, James holloween. James is rhyming
his side.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
It's farting and snoring.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It drives me mad.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Big band is not overrated. He no longer leaves me frustrated.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And the Malard militia isn't so bad either.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Is that better than?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Well, it's better than the jokes that you've been doing.
It's better than how about?

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Anyway, it is the Ben Maler Show. Time now for
the Insta Trivia, And here it is Washington rookie Jaden Daniels.

if Jaden Daniels gets to sixty four rushing yards on
Sunday in Arizona, he can surpass Blank for the most
(32:48):
rushing yards by a quarterback in his first four career
games in the Super Bowl era. That's the Insta Trivia.
The answer is next.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
It's Benmeller and time out for the Insta Trivia. Here
it is Washington's Jaden Daniels. Now, if he hit sixty
four yards rushing on Sunday at Arizona, he can surpass
Blank for the most rushing yards by our quarterback in
his first four career games in the NFL in the
(33:53):
Super Bowl era. That is the question. What is the answer?
And let's see does anyone know the answer? Cowboy Killer
going with that great quarterback for the Houston Oilers, Hakeim
the Dream Elijah Wan. But Nito, the long suffering Cowboy fan,
says it's p Diddy's baby oil that that is the answer.
(34:13):
Dave Berba, there's a good name from mister niceky old
baseball player from back in the day. Who else do
we have? Christina Malan who is forty three today? Who else?
Fran Tarkington from Andy of Lion o' Lakes, Peerless Price
from Art Puffin og Art Puffin General Burnside from I
(34:35):
forty Ian the Man for whom Sideburns was named General Burns. Yeah,
it's a true story. It's a fun fact. Who else
do we have? Tito Jackson Yes by King Rory Francis
Tarkington from E in Roseville, Minnesota. Alligator Arms Murray Guest
by Eloy in Compton, Soda Popinski from Mike Tyson, punch
(34:59):
Out Yes by Shane in Des Moines, The Mike not
Funny Leppercod Yes by Milkman Mike in Colorado. Slow Pope Rodriguez,
the slowest mouse in all of Mexico from slug in Vegas. Eddie,
What say you?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
What say you?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I'm gonna say former cowboy legend Roger the Dodgers Stabat.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
That's a nice name, but no, Eddie. The correct answer
is r G three with the red Skins back in
the day. R G three.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
To the third degree? This is one gets crack.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
And there are five teams in the NFL that remain
undefeated through three weeks. Which are those teams? If any,
do you consider to be the biggest frauds.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
So I'm gonna go with Seattle on this. And here's
why I know.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Stredinis is not gonna like this in Seattle and the
other guys they are crying, Yeah, but they play. Here's
who they played, bow Knicks first NFL game ever, Jacoby Burssett,
who blows, and someone named Skyler Thompson for the Dolphins.
So they're not exactly battle tested. And if you look
at that, the Broncos and Patriots and none of those
(36:16):
teams are going to be a playoff teams. So I
have Seattle as the biggest question mark among the teams
that have won all their games.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Next, Bill Belichick made a recent podcast appearance where he
suggested that the NFL should retire Jim Brown's number thirty
two league wide, like Major League Baseball date for Jackie Robinson. Ben,
could you see the NFL doing this?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No, for two reasons. Jim Brown's dead, that's the first reason.
And number two, there are some skeletons. Jim liked to
punch women, which generally the NFL does not like that,
So that'd be a tough sell. And you know how
I feel, Coop, I hate retired numbers, you know, just
in general. I don't like them. Sam, I am what
(36:59):
is next?
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Dave Kanally said on Tuesday, Andy's our quarterback. He gives
us our best chance to win, Ben, what do you
think the Panthers ceiling is wins wise?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Now with Dalton under center, well.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Then instead of being one of the bottom three teams
with assuming Dalton, I feel luckily get hurt the next
couple of weeks, But as long as he's playing, they
have a chance to compete, and so I could be
like a seven. The division is not very good. They
win seven or seven games or so and at least
have a decent season, which is better than what they've
had in recent years. How did we go pass that
(37:34):
is a winner? Woo
Hello and welcome. It's our numumber two on this the
twenty sixth day of the month of September. Here, Happy
Thursday to you, and the podcast will chatter about to
a tongue of by Loa Deshaun Watson. We'll talk about
Caleb Williams with the Bears as well. It is all
(00:20):
coming your way right now here. It is our number
two still part of the pod. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malar Show. We are
in the air everywhere, denizens, as we own the audio
(00:42):
dance floor. We do, We absolutely do, coast to coast,
border the border in beyond. On the mast, it's stratapherically
powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from the Gong
the Gong Show on the radio. We're broadcasting live from
the tier raq dot com studios. Tierraq dot com will
(01:05):
help you get there. Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended in stars.
Tim mcdarby says about ten thousand stories a day tire
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be. So
our lead this hour is from the NFL. It's all NFL,
(01:30):
all the time, so South Beach adjacent. We're gonna call
this one. We all know that Tua tongueba Loa on
a nationally televised island game against Buffalo, Tua suffered a
third concussion. At least it might be four or five,
who knows, but at least three, and it happened on
(01:50):
an island game. In his NFL career, he's been marred
by concussions. Now, many people have written think pieces saying
that Touurs should retire and that he never played again
and that kind of thing. So we have no information
out though if you have not heard, maybe not. We
are told that to a tongue of Bailoa is preparing
(02:13):
to return to the Dolphins. He's hell bent on playing again,
at least that's the story, and not retiring, not leaving
his NFL career behind. So the tell, if you will,
is that the Dolphins are not They're not actively trying
to acquire a quarterback. They have quartered the market on
(02:34):
suckbag quarterbacks in Miami. They just don't have anyone who's
any good. And if they can't run the ball, they're
not gonna be able to win any games. They already
won one against Jacksonville. But if they can't run the ball,
they don't have a quarterback, they're screwed, right, And so
(02:54):
everything is pointing towards to a tongue of Ailoa at
least attempting to come back. Now, he's not eligible to
come back until I think Week seven, so there's still
several more games to go before he's allowed to come back.
But let us discuss the question. Dolphins injured quarterback to
a tongue of by Loa apparently wants to play again
(03:18):
this season. How does this all play out? How does
all this play out? So I've got rubber goblin and
ted nugent, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make tires. You'll hear
more about tires coming up in a little bit. So
number that's number. There are a bunch of words that
(03:43):
are being tossed out about to a tongue about Loa,
and at this point it's all empty. There's no there there.
If you know what I mean. It's this is like
a marriage situation. It's I know, it's a business relationship.
It's like a marriage. And they're in a contractual agreement here.
It's an arranged marriage, and you really have to look
(04:06):
at the fine print. Because Tua has publicly indicated he
has to He has to publicly indicate that he wants
to play for the Dolphins, even if he doesn't want
to play again. Even if Tua says I hate football,
I never want to put a helmet on again, he
can't say that. He has to play the game right
and say that he wants to come back, because if
(04:28):
he says I'm retiring, that's it, I'm done, as I
understand it, then he would end up losing millions and
millions of dollars. So he has to go through the
bureaucracy of the NFL. And the Dolphins on the other hand,
they have to say they want to a back because
(04:49):
if they don't. Either way, if he wants to play,
they got to pay him. Right, he's under contract and
so they have to honor the deal. But where the
rubber meets the road is when we get to the point.
I guess it's like hockey. I think they still have
this third man in third man in right. So you
got the Dolphins on one side who have to allow
to have back. You've got two on the other side
(05:11):
that wants to come back allegedly. So third man in
would be a brain surgeon, a brain doctor, a medical
practitioner who will determine whether or not they want to
sign off on allowing Tour to come back to the NFL.
And as long as he has all of his faculties
(05:33):
and you tell him here's what could happen, X, Y,
and Z. If you play and he wants to play,
that's on him, then you can medically clear Tua. The
issue becomes down downstream liability that becomes a problem. But
assuming you have everything vetted by lawyers and you have
(05:53):
an independent brain doctor, then there is a path for
two to come back and play for the Dolphins. Now
we go to Cleveland where Deshaun Watson that's my quarterback,
not my quarterback, your quarterback. Well, Deshaun Watson wants you
to know that he is not not a running back,
and just to prove that, let's go to the audio tape.
(06:14):
If I don't have to run, I'm not gonna run.
So really, I'm not trying to take any his because
I'm not a running quarterback in a sense, I can
make things happen, but I'm not trying to run. I'm
not a running back. That's not my specialties.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
They signed me to throw the ball, make decisions, and
be a quarterback, not a runner.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So that was the creepy quarterback as we call them,
Deshaun Watson, who pushed back on the idea that the
Browns should have him run the ball more more designed
runs for the quarterback, saying he's not a running back.
So how does that one hit you? So it's on brand.
Deshaun Watson ever since he got from Cleveland has been
(06:54):
a hot mess and this continues and it's like he's
in goblin mode, just disheveled and just a hot mess
there with the Brownies. Most of the quarterbacks job. Maybe
I'm wrong on this, you can correct me, but most
of the quarterback's job is decision making, right decision making.
When you hold it, that's fine, but you're more likely
(07:18):
to get sacked. But when to hold it, when to
throw it, when to run? And are you making the
right decision? And the evidence, the overwhelming evidence beyond a
reasonable doubt, is that Watson more times than not, is
not making the right decision. Now, many people to pointed
out the Browns offensive line sucks, and it is true.
(07:39):
There are backup offensive line and playing for the Browns. However,
there are ways you can mitigate an offensive line by
making quicker decisions. Right, Watson is being paid a premium
to play quarterback, but he's being played paid a premium
and he's provided nothing. But he's provided nothing but piecemeal results.
(08:04):
So maybe you should try running because throwing the ball
is not going that well. All right now, final point.
Here a viral clip from the past to weekend in
the NFL shows Caleb Williams. I don't know if you
saw this or not, in that Bears game with the Colts,
he gets all fed up with the OC Shane Waldron,
(08:24):
the old Seahawk, and Ram Coach. So what do you
make of that? He seemed pretty upset. He had a
lot of gyrations there, Caleb Williams. So the way I
interpreted it, in the way what I make of the
video clip is Caleb Williams. He went ted nugent, little
(08:46):
cat scratch fevers where he went right, bad body language,
poudy face. Now, I'm an amateur lip reader, and based
on what I was able to determine from looking at
Caleb Williams and his verbal diatribe, his question was what
are we doing? That's what it looked like to me.
(09:08):
So based on that, and the Bears off to a
terrible start offensively in terms of the passing game. This year,
they play the Rams this weekend, so things should yet
a bit easier. The Rams have no defense. I mean,
they are brutally. I don't know how they beat the
forty nine er. They can't stop the pass at all.
But that's a different conversation. But anyway, so Caleb Williams,
(09:29):
he's upset. It appears to be already fed up with
his coach, his direct coach, the offensive coordinator there in Chicago.
So the obvious thing is, well that didn't take very long.
The Bears have the NFL's twenty fifth ranked passing offense.
It's only been three games, all right, Well that's every
team's played the same amount of games, and the Bears
(09:50):
are twenty fifth out of thirty two and they had
the number one overall pick and never ever played before
this year in the NFL. Obviously, Caleb Williams and uh,
he obviously, based on his body, which just thinks he
knows knows more than the offensive coordinator. Maybe he does.
(10:13):
But here's the other thing, I'm pretty sure the Bears
do allow their quarterback to audible, So now not all
the time. But if the play is that bad, the
play being called is that terrible, isn't it possible that
you would be able to audible out of it? And
I don't know, call the different play change to play
at the line of scrimmage or do they not trust
(10:35):
Caleb Williams to do that? Who knows? Inquiring minds would
like to know. It is the Ban Mallard Show. If
you'd like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine

Speaker 1 (14:23):
And two baseball teams. He has the Pirates and the Dodgers, right,
Is that true? I would say, no baseball teams, no baseball.
Done with baseball. It's all over.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
But but Ben, ben.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I Ben, I've been.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You started with hockey. What do you want me to do?
You started with hockey. I didn't start with hockey. You
started with hockey.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Well, I've been I've just been really upset, like I've
just been hearing since March like and you know, like
Josh Allen, he doesn't have bigs anymore, he's nothing, and
we have no number one wide receiver. It's been so tough,
and we let the chefs have Xavier Worthy and we
got Keyan Coleman and Josh Allen's a turnover machine and
our team fence lost so many key parts. And the
(15:02):
Dolphins have the number one offense and Josh Allen has
a has a passer rating of one three three point
seven and he has nine t ds and he has
are you done?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
All?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
If John Allen keeps this up, bend Lamar Jackson is
gonna win another m v P.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, I keep remembering, Uh, there was a guy and
I forget his name. I think he was in the
comic books that used to call me up when I
pointed out that Stefan Diggs was a trojan horse in Buffalo,
and this guy called up. I'm literally on the air,
if I remember. He would lick the toes of Stefan
Diggs me and would say, ohow, this is all just
(15:47):
the media, there's nothing and all that. And I don't
know what ever happened to that guy. Do you know
what happened to that guy? I don't know what happened.
And I called up and just defended the hell out
of Stefan days.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Who steps.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Now now he's uh, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure. So
you did you sell your Stefan Diggs knee pads or
did you leave him in the closet?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I never had. I've only got Josh Allen pad. That's it,
and I've got multiple pairs.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
But I think you would agree Andy that if Josh
Allen wanted Stefan Diggs on the Bills still, they wouldn't
have traded Stefan Diggs that he was in He was
in cahoots with the trade of Stefan Digs absolutely.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
And I said this last year, the last ten games,
the Fawn Diggs had forty more targets than Khalis Shakir
and they had the same amount of yards and khalilshak
had two more touchdowns in the last ten games last year,
I said all off season, this is Josh Allen X
ball year. Who are you going to cover?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Look at that?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, but but he's not He's not gonna be the
He's not gonna be the m v.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
P We're gonna punch you in the mouth. We're gonna
he's gonna take m VP. Build are winning the super Bowl?
Book it it's.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
A drop or what?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You say that every year? The same never same, Yeah
you do no, No.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
He's been telling me for a couple of years. These
Sabers are going to make the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
They don't have not maybe the playoffs making the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh wow, I've never heard that before.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
How many years in a row has it been seventh
seed in the EASTA How.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Many years in a row have they missed the playoffs?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
We're gonna we're gonna double or nothing.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'll get you to I know you know the answer,
but you're intentionally not saying it. That's just wait. What
did you say was how many years in a row
have they missed the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Fourteen for fourteen? Really?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Wown's where's the dominator go on? Dominic has wow fourteen
st Buffalo he's so well he's not playing. But man,
all right. More importantly, what happened? What happened to the
comic book shop? What happened?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I relocated it. I'm actually in the process right now.
I don't want to put any carts before horses.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
All right, but it will it will reopen you'll.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yeah, I'm in some talks right now with a pretty
pretty sexy partner. No not Josh Allen, a different all.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Right, well, good luck. Let us know he was posted.
All right, all right, wonderful call. So so happy we
took that talk. Chris writes in I think he's in Ohio.
He says, can we put comic book Andy back on
the day shift?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh? Sure? Why not?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Scrooge said, everyone said that Damar Hamlin should step down,
and now he is a big comeback story. That's right.
People said I didn't think he would ever play again,
but he's back. Says watch Tua. Scrooge says, watch Tua
come back and have a good game, and then everyone
(18:48):
will start changing their opinion. And here's the problem, though, Scrooge,
here's the problem. I don't doubt that Tua could come
back and play well. But this is the ultimate ticking
time bomb. And they don't have a backup quarterback in Miami.
There's nothing there. Uh, They're they're done in terms of
(19:08):
you know, he's he's hanging on by a wing and
a prayer to it is at this even he comes
back fur Dog writes in from Soulcally says, I remember
that comic book nerd who used to call up defending
Stefan Diggs. I hated that guy. I'm glad he's gone.
So are we? So are we. Let's go back to
(19:33):
the phones. We'll say hello to Eenie Meenie, Miny Moe.
Let's go to Mike in Vegas. Hello, Mike? Hello?
Speaker 2 (19:47):

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Sounds like it might be are you gonna talk? Or
you know, maybe he dropped his flowing in the Bellagio
fountains or something like that. That sounds very odd. I
don't know what that What is that noise? I don't
know what that is? A hiccups or is a coffin
(20:14):
or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I hope it's not choking or something.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
All right, Well, thank you, Mike. Wonderful phone call. Yeah,
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number.
Let's say hello, do angry Bill. I'm a glutton for punishment.
Hello angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No, you're not. Then, so very bad about my Kit
and Clark getting bounced out of the playoff.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
We all do it morning devastating.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
I don't know how going very upset about it, but
I feel she's changed the whole culture, sculpture, culture, Look,
the culture of the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, you know, you know all about culture, you know
all about the culture.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Thanks you bet. I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And how many w NBA games did you watch before
Caitlyn Clark?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well there was before, not many, she answered, zero. Sports
world over the next couple of years for the women,
the culture of the women, the players. Yeah, do you
know how many more girls are playing basketball now in
New York City?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
How many more?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Tell me how many more? Tell me exactly? Tell me
an exact number. Tell me an exact number.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Well, there's not a number. It's a percentage. But if
you want to go to numbers, as a percentage of
one hundred thousand girls more have signed up to play basket.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
So let me let me ask you this. Why is
these women? Why are they not watching any of the
other games other than the Caitlyn Clark cames?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Oh, because they're like Cat and Clark. What do you
want from me? I didn't know what do.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
You want from you? But it's like she hasn't improved
the product in terms of nobody's watching the other teams
other than her in the actual ratings game. It's embarrassing
the ratings. No one's watching these other teams other than
when Clark plays well.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
She's bringing in millions of dollars more. Okay, that's all
I can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
What do you what do you care? You don't work
for the w NBA. Why why do you Why do
you care? Why do you care about that? You don't
make any money off that? What do you care?

How about I'm right and your reaction tells me I'm
right because you're very defensive. You're very defensive about that.
Speaker 3 (22:55):

watching these games. You're just calling up to bust my balls.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
What else could they be?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
How do you know they're for you?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I didn't say they were for me.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, I will. I will be opening the box. That

Speaker 7 (24:55):
I know that bigger box. I can tell it's it's
for all of us. I feel like, yeah, I hope,
I think so.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'm not sure about that some goodies for us. I
hope it didn't need to be refrigerated as well. Number
one said that you used to have a guy that
rain in Boston and the hot dogs the best hot
dog I've had really hot dogs, Yeah, from fin White Park,
the monster dog Fenway Franks, And so he'd send them
(25:22):
and then our mail is so incompetent they would leave
them out for hours and I get the hot dogs
and they were room temperature, tragic, and you're like, I'm
not eating these and those are expensive hot even Coop
wouldn't need them. Yeah, it was bad, you know, and
I wanted to eat. I love those hot dogs, very
hot dog, very good, delicious.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, hopefully we'll find out later what those those treats
might be.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
What's in the box.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
All right, Ben Mallard Show. No time for fun facts.
We have bonus live reads. We'll get to that coming
up in a little bit. Here a live reed for Draftking.
I know the is excited about that. It'll be coming
up here in a little bit. But it's all about
the battle of the balls. Remember when Shoheo Tani had
that dramatic day where he hit every ball to the
(26:13):
moon against the Marlins and he joined the fifty to
fifty club. Well, that baseball can't be yours if the
price is right. It is being put up for auction.
We are told the opening bid, the starting bid for
the Otani ball. He's five hundred thousand dollars. That's a
(26:34):
minimum bid.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I thought it would be more than that.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Well, that's the baseline. And then they want a bidding war.
You want a couple of people to bid on it,
A couple of aristocrats tod on it. But there is
a fly in the ointment here. Oh, because a kid
that was battling for the ball, the Battle of the Balls,
to try to get that ball in Miami. This eighteen
year old kid. I guess he's all grown up at eighteen.
(26:58):
But this guy is suing over the Otani ball. His
claim is that he had possession of the ball and
the ball was stolen from him by an evil older man.
Then an older guy stole the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Got to keep the ball in your possession or you
don't have it.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I agree. I am on the side of the person
that ended up with the ball, because I see your ball, sir,
I'd like to see if you truly had your hands
all over the ball, you would not have lost the ball.
The ball would not have gone to somebody else. So
therefore right, I mean, I don't think. I watched a
clip online from Miami, and it was shocking because there
were actually fans there in a Marlins game other than
(27:39):
Marlins man. But I did not see any kind of weapon,
Like I don't think the older guy used a naive
for a gun. He just used old man's strength. And
I don't even think he's that old. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Whoever comes out of the scrum and lifts their arm
in the air with the ball in their hand, that's
who the ball belongs. Get If you get it stolen
after that, then I would say you've got something. But
if there's a scrum on the ground there getting the
ball and you come out with your hand up, that
ball's yours.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah no, I yeah, well it's not good radio. We
all agree. But if you watch the clip, the kid,
I think he I want to say, he's in a
baseball hat, like a blue baseball hat. I think that's
the kid. I don't know for sure, but it looked
like he thought he had the ball and then he
lost the ball, and then the older guy, yeah, yeah, there,
(28:32):
you know he's one of Miami Marlin shirt. I'm watching
the clip right now, he's got his hat on backwards,
kind of a nerdy looking white dude. And then the
other guy who's like a middle aged guy, but he's
got those annoying Miami like jeans on and stuff, and
he got the ball. And so the eighteen year old
has a lawyered up. Now, the guy that got the ball,
(28:53):
he's he's older, but he only looks like he's in
his thirties. He doesn't look that old to me. It's
not like he's an old old guy. But compared to
the eighteen year old, Yeah, the eighteen.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Year old should just be happy that it wasn't at
Dodger Stadium or else he might have been stabbed.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Let's say hello to Mike
the lebrecaon. Hello, Mike the lebrecn in Boston. He's number too.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Good morning, Bend. I'm doing my Floyd voice. All right, Floyd.
What does Lorena say about the battle of the balls.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
What do you think, Lorena Rainy? You want to comment
on the balls?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Who should have the ball? Does this guy have an argument?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I think whoever shows it at the moment, it's their ball.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
There you go go, taking other people's balls.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Right, you keep it, she said.
Speaker 5 (29:59):

my humor. I did a poem for Halloween. James here,
Oh you have a poem all right? For Halloween?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
James.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Really, only only for Halloween, James holloween. James is rhyming
his side.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
It's farting and snoring.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It drives me mad.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Big band is not overrated. He no longer leaves me frustrated.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And the Malard militia isn't so bad either.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Is that better than?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Well, it's better than the jokes that you've been doing.
It's better than how about?

games in the Super Bowl era. That's the Insta Trivia.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
It's Benmeller and time out for the Insta Trivia. Here
it is Washington's Jaden Daniels. Now, if he hit sixty
four yards rushing on Sunday at Arizona, he can surpass
Blank for the most rushing yards by our quarterback in
his first four career games in the NFL in the
(33:53):
Super Bowl era. That is the question. What is the answer?
And let's see does anyone know the answer? Cowboy Killer
going with that great quarterback for the Houston Oilers, Hakeim
the Dream Elijah Wan. But Nito, the long suffering Cowboy fan,
says it's p Diddy's baby oil that that is the answer.
(34:13):
Dave Berba, there's a good name from mister niceky old
baseball player from back in the day. Who else do
we have? Christina Malan who is forty three today? Who else?
Fran Tarkington from Andy of Lion o' Lakes, Peerless Price
from Art Puffin og Art Puffin General Burnside from I
(34:35):
forty Ian the Man for whom Sideburns was named General Burns. Yeah,
it's a true story. It's a fun fact. Who else
do we have? Tito Jackson Yes by King Rory Francis
Tarkington from E in Roseville, Minnesota. Alligator Arms Murray Guest
by Eloy in Compton, Soda Popinski from Mike Tyson, punch
(34:59):
Out Yes by Shane in Des Moines, The Mike not
Funny Leppercod Yes by Milkman Mike in Colorado. Slow Pope Rodriguez,
the slowest mouse in all of Mexico from slug in Vegas. Eddie,
What say you?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
What say you?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I'm gonna say former cowboy legend Roger the Dodgers Stabat.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
That's a nice name, but no, Eddie. The correct answer
is r G three with the red Skins back in
the day. R G three.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
To the third degree? This is one gets crack.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
And there are five teams in the NFL that remain
undefeated through three weeks. Which are those teams? If any,
do you consider to be the biggest frauds.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
So I'm gonna go with Seattle on this. And here's
why I know.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Stredinis is not gonna like this in Seattle and the
other guys they are crying, Yeah, but they play. Here's
who they played, bow Knicks first NFL game ever, Jacoby Burssett,
who blows, and someone named Skyler Thompson for the Dolphins.
So they're not exactly battle tested. And if you look
at that, the Broncos and Patriots and none of those
(36:16):
teams are going to be a playoff teams. So I
have Seattle as the biggest question mark among the teams
that have won all their games.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Next, Bill Belichick made a recent podcast appearance where he
suggested that the NFL should retire Jim Brown's number thirty
two league wide, like Major League Baseball date for Jackie Robinson. Ben,
could you see the NFL doing this?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No, for two reasons. Jim Brown's dead, that's the first reason.
And number two, there are some skeletons. Jim liked to
punch women, which generally the NFL does not like that,
So that'd be a tough sell. And you know how
I feel, Coop, I hate retired numbers, you know, just
in general. I don't like them. Sam, I am what
(36:59):
is next?
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Dave Kanally said on Tuesday, Andy's our quarterback. He gives
us our best chance to win, Ben, what do you
think the Panthers ceiling is wins wise?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Now with Dalton under center, well.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Then instead of being one of the bottom three teams
with assuming Dalton, I feel luckily get hurt the next
