This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hang it out with you coast to coast, border to
border and beyond on the vast and mighty powerful microphones
of FSR as we are hanging out with you, emmanating
live from the point the Sailors advantage point. We're broadcasting

recommended installers tier rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. I know, Benito, the long suffering cowboy fan
(01:38):
loves the number ten thousand, big fan of the number
ten thousand. So our lead this hour is from the
National Football League and we'll start out in Jersey and
that's where Week four began in the NFL. You might
have seen it an NFC East slobber knocker well kind
(01:58):
of boys and Giants, something that we know the outcome
up just about every time these teams get together, we
know is gonna win. But they were wrangling on Amazon
with Al Michaels and Herbie. They were there, so I
assume you watched it, but maybe not, maybe you heard
about it. Dak Prescott throwing one of his two touchdown
(02:20):
fastest the c D Lamb and the Cowboys who essentially
toyed with the Giants. They never had a giant lead
in this game. The game was within the margins, as
we like to say, but they end up winning it
twenty to fifteen. Could have covered the spread at the end,
they missed a field goal in the final final minute.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
There.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So seven straight wins now for Dallas over the New
York Football Giants and fourteen of fifteen. There's a domination situation.
But the better story is in the losing locker room,
and so that is where we will go. We will
start with that and the question for the esteem panel,
(03:07):
where does this lost, this latest loss by the Giants
leave Daniel Jones and company? All Right? So I've got
porterhouse steak, wrapping paper, and butterball turkey, and we will
combine all of these things together and we're gonna put
the biscuit in the basket, is what we're gonna do.
(03:29):
So a not much is different, right, There's no such
thing as a moral victory. So the Giants they covered
the spread, which I was happy about for wagering purposes,
because they missed. The Cowboys missed the field goal in
the final minute. But the Giants continue to tread water
(03:52):
in the kittie pool. With Daniel Jones, it's the same old,
same old. Now for the low information fan, they'll look
at the overall numbers and say, wow, it was pretty good.
Stat sheet looks good. This is about as well as
Daniel Jones can play. He's not the problem. That will
(04:12):
be the popular opinion by popular people. Now we disagree
with that, because if you think that Daniel Jones is
good enough, you have very low standards, very low standards.
Giant said the ball nine times nine times, nine possessions,
and they had as many touchdowns as you and I
(04:33):
had none. Bupkis zero, no touchdowns. So think of this light.
You're cooking a porterhouse steak. You want that piece of
meat to sizzle, right, that sizzle Daniel Jones when he's
the state it's nothing but fizzle. But let's hear from
the man himself. Here's Daniel Jones asked about the lack
(04:56):
of Peter the lack of touchdowns frustrating.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
We're expected to score touchdowns and put points on the board,
and a game that I felt like we were able
to do.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
A lot and move the ball, well, move the ball,
but not into the end zone. Zero for two in
the red zone for the Giants against a cowboy defense
that had been absolutely bludgeoned by the Saints and the
Ravens the last couple of weeks. Now most of that
on the ground and the Giants had less than thirty
(05:29):
yards rushing in this game, which is an abomination. The
bottom rong cowboy defense. You had not one, but two chances.
Here's the other problem. So no touchdowns, but at the
end of the game, the Giants got the ball down
by a score. Touchdown would have given them the lead,
possibly won the game for them. They had two chances
(05:51):
needing a touchdown in the final minutes of the game.
What did Vanillavic do well? The first possession turned the
ball over on downs and the second possession an interception.
It was hail Mary type interceptions. Now on the other side,
does this win for Dallas? Does it get Jerry Jones
(06:11):
back on track, his team back on track, his Cowboys
back on track. So I'm shaking my head no on this,
and I'll tell you why. It's it's kind of like
those people that take credit and do a victory lap
after they shower and they brush their teeth. You don't
get extra credit for that. You're supposed to have good hygiene, right,
(06:33):
You're supposed to do that. Those are things that are
required in polite society, and it's become a birthright in
the last ten years or so. Where when the Giants
and Cowboys get together when Daniel Jones is playing, we
know who wins. The Giants are the JV And in
(06:53):
no way was this a dominating performance by the Cowboys offense.
They were out gained in yardage by the g men
and they only scored six points in the second half. Dallas,
they have wins now over the dregs, over the NFL,
the Giants, and the Cleveland Rounds. But Mike McCarthy, Mike McCarthy,
(07:15):
the ro Ton coach. He's singing a happy song. Take
a listen.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Winning is always a great thing, especially on the road.
Row wins are the best division games. You can add
another layer to it. So yeah, we feel great about
what we accomplished the night, but I think it is,
you know, for the fourth week in Row, we realize
that we have a lot of.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Work to do.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The Cowboy product. Just what I've seen here, it sounds
to me like they've changed the wrapping paper a little bit,
but the same garbage is in the box. All right.
Last word here, So interesting factoid about this game you
might have heard about it, maybe not fun fact if
(07:54):
you will. The Cowboys were traveling on a short week
for the first time ever. That seems impossible, but apparently
it's true. The Nerves have told us that every other team,
every single team in the National Football League has done
it at least six times, but the Cowboys have done
(08:17):
it none until this week, when they've played seventeen Thursday
night football games and this is the first one before
November twenty ninth. So how how did the Cowboys pull
this off? Where they just played their first short week
road game in franchise?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
History.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So my answer is the butterball turkey. The Cowboys were
grandfathered in. Jerry Jones is the godfather of the NFL.
He's also the grandfather, and it's not personal, it's strictly business.
Since Dallas plays host to Thanksgiving every year, right their
(09:01):
grandfathered in. They have been spared the indignity, the shame
of early season Thursday Night NFL going on the Dusty
Winnamooka road to play a game. However, keep in mind
the Lions have not been spared Dallas, apparently traveling by
stage coach. They played a sloppy game on Thursday. The
eleven penalties, some of those were actually penalties that the
(09:25):
other team committee, I mean, the referees were brutal. But yeah,
two star players hurt, Michael Parsons, Travon Diggs at least
two on defense, and some other players leaving into the
injury tent. So not an ideal not an ideal situation.
But the Cowboys are two and two and the Giants
(09:46):
are on the death spiral or Kamakaze mission, as they
will soon be out of playoff contention yet again. It
will be out of reach there one and three. The
Giants after that riveting start and the same old, same
old for them, same old, same old for the cowboys.

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 1 (10:16):
And the final, the very final report card is in
for a team that calls themselves VA's well come. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhares we huddle up and
(10:39):
pay our dues all night, coast to coast, boarder the
border and beyond. On the mast and rightfully powerful microphones
of FSR am monating live from the track, the warning
track of sports Chat. We're broadcast live from the tiraq

baseball games as Mark the Raider Warrior former A's fan
(11:21):
and Tom Brady Rose fan and mister nice Guy Saw
of the Oakland Athletics. But tyraq dot Com the way
tire buying show be So I just checked my inbox
and there's some people upset that I don't have a
full mall monologue planned about the Doyers winning the Nation
(11:43):
League West. I don't. I'm not impressed. They win the
division almost every year. I'm not impressed. So when they
get to the World Series, we can talk. But the
standard for the Dodgers is not not to win the division.
They do that every year. But they've proven time and
again they can win the division. And I'm just waiting
(12:04):
for Dave Roberts in the bullpen to implode and Mookie
Betch to back one ten in the playoffs and Otani
to back one seventy with no home runs. I'm just
waiting for that to happen. But our lead this hour
playing the Hits, mom Man, playing the Hits from the
East Bay. We go for the final time in our lives.
(12:24):
More likely than not, the city of oak host a
professional sporting of man as every single team has left
that area. Now. The Warriors are still in the region,
but they're not on the other side of the I
mean they are on the other side of it. They're
not where they were, and so it's a different a
(12:45):
different animal. But there are no professional sports left and
in the last fifteen years, the Raiders, the A's and
the Warriors have all vacated the mass exodus out of Oakland,
but the last one turn out the as the party's over.
The team that will soon be formerly known as the
(13:05):
Oakland Athletics, playing their final home game and much anticipated event.
Someone named jj Blade I believe his name, never heard
of him hit an RBI single and he also had
a nice defensive playout in the outfield in center field
as the Athletics went out in style their final game
(13:30):
ever at the Coliseum in Oakland. Unless there is a
major snaffoo, a massive snaffoo, they're going, They're out and
they beat the Rangers three to two the final on
a nice, sunshiny Thursday afternoon. There was a sellout crowd
of almost forty seven thousand. Beautiful blue sky looked marvelous
(13:54):
September baseball. And that's it. It's all over. So let
us discuss the question, how do you react to the
final home game for the Oakland vintage of the Athletics.
So I've got evangelical, razzle, dazzle, and Southwest Airlines and
(14:18):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a stale hot dog, which is
what I think the A's have been selling the last
couple of years, stale hot dogs, but num burn. Now
I'm gonna preface everything I say with a qualifier. I
have no skin in the game. You know that my
(14:40):
allegiances are not with the Oakland Athletics. But you can
add this to the many lists of franchises in my
life as a sports fan that have zonked out of
the city they're in. I have seen the Montreal Exposts
bye bye. The Seattle SuperSonics see I've seen teams relocate
(15:02):
multiple times. The Raiders in my life have they were
in Oakland, they went to LA. They went back to Oakland.
Now they're in in Vegas. The Rams went to Saint Louis,
came back to LA. The Chargers San Diego Chargers, they're
back in LA. They were originally in LA, not in
(15:23):
my lifetime. They were in LA in San Diego in
my lifetime, then they moved to LA. And there have
been three teams that have changed their names that I
can and think of off the top of my head.
The Devil Rays now the Rays. The Cleveland Indians are
now named after a bridge. The Washington Redskins have a
(15:43):
filler name Commanders and now you can add the Athletics
the Big Ben's Big Board of sports franchises that have
altered their standing and and the listen I watched. I
didn't watch the whole game, we were busy with the
TV show, but I watched the end of it, and
(16:03):
it seemed like you had a lot of people very emotional,
as you would imagine. To my surprise, there was not violence.
There was not mass hoodlanism. People weren't stealing everything other
there were things stolen from the coliseum, but it wasn't
like I thought it was going to be. But watching
on my television and I wasn't there, and maybe somebody
(16:26):
will call in that was there or has more of
an eyewitness, boots on the ground feel to it. But
when watching it on TV, and I was very tired.
When I was watching it, it felt evangelical to me
that you had this energy, there was this passion in
the crowd, and it was like this very powerful It's
almost like a religious revival type thing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
They were alternating the rhythmic chanting sell the team and
other bad words and then let's go Oakland. And so
you had nostalgia nostalgia. A lot of people that grew
up as kids going to that ballpark and love the
A's back when they used to try to win and
put good players on the field every year. And you
(17:10):
had this universal bond, this brotherhood of all these people
from different backgrounds who were united for one common purpose.
To say, f you John Fisher, that scumbag owner of
the Athletics. Right this communal event where it's a morning process,
but yet there's unity in the community. And you had men,
(17:35):
women and children there who grew up some still growing
up worshiping the Athletics with the Athletics used to stand for.
And they all came Begere. I mean, they haven't been
playing there since nineteen sixty eight. That's a good run.
But one last time. That's it now page two here,
What are you going to remember about the Oakland era
(17:59):
of the athlete? So I'll go first here and you
can call in if you want later and give me
some of your thoughts. But for me, as an outsider,
I've been to that ballpark a few times over the years,
not many times, not many times. Covered some football games there,
baseball a few times, not many. I've been to Finway
Park more than I've been to the ballpark in Oakland,
for example. But my memories of the Athletics just in
(18:22):
hole in the hole wide angle lents in my youth.
I grew up in a time where the A's, believe
it or not, were the cool kids. They had swagger
and they always seem to deliver the dagger. And one
of the all time great World Series updates or upsets,
i should say, was the Dodgers and the A's, and
(18:43):
the reason that was such a big upset the Dodgers
were not that good, but the A's seemed invincible and
they had all the pizazz and all that magic. And
you think of the different players that have played in
Oakland that stand out to me, the pazaz of Ricky
Henderson Run, Ricky Run, the charisma of the steroid infused
(19:05):
Bash Brothers with Mark McGuire and jose Canseco. And I'll
also remember, on a selfish note, that I briefly did
some work for the radio broadcasts of the Athletics. I'll
probably talk more about that on my my podcast, but
I have fond memories of interactions with Bill King, the
longtime broadcaster for the A's who passed away a number
(19:27):
of years ago. And Ken Korak, who he's been there
a long time now, but he was a young whipper
snapper when I started, and he was had come over
from a minor league baseball, was at the broadcaster for
the Las Vegas minor league team, and so fond memories
of all of that, right, all of that. And I
think we actually have a clip of the the rhythmic
(19:50):
chanting just to give you an idea of what it
was like that that evangelical situation. Let's let's go to
the audio. Here's what it sounded like, little taste, so
kind of go and hear what it sounded like. And
I ask you for one more time to start the
greatest cheer in baseball. Let's go Glynn. All right, So
(20:33):
that's what it sounded like. Now, final point here, what
are the odds, just between me and you, what are
the odds that we will see baseball return to? Oh? So?
Using malor math as the mad math tician and sports handicapper,
I'm gonna crunch the numbers here the Mallard Sportsbook odds.
(20:55):
It's not zero, but it's plus nine thousand, plus nine thousand.
Now why is it plus nine thousand. The reason is
plus nine thousand is because that's one percent. It's kind
of like Southwest Airlines. You're at the airport there in
Oakland and there's two people, there's Slim and there's none,
(21:16):
and Slim is in Group A getting ready to board
the flight there on Southwest outbound outbound from Oakland. And
here's why. Now, I mentioned earlier in this Malady monologue
that we have seen teams leave and we have seen
them return. The La Rams left for twenty years, an
(21:38):
entire generation over twenty years without the NFL, and they're
back now. They're back being the other Rams. The Cleveland
Browns left to become the Baltimore Ravens, and they're back.
You would also argue the Indianapolis Colts, who were the
Baltimore Colts. I feel to mention them in my lifetime.
That happened. But Baltimore got another team, not the Colts,
(22:02):
but they got another team, The Charlotte Hornets relocated to
New Orleans and there is now another version of the
Charlotte Hornets. So there is a shot, but it's different
in Oakland. Now. My theory is that nothing lasts forever,
and that the lawless old west of Oakland is not
going to be like that. At some point the good
(22:22):
people will get fed up living in debauchery and will
put their foot down and say enough is enough, and
someone will actually come in and clean that place up
and make it wonderful again. It's certainly not going to
happen anytime soon with the politics there, but at some
point nothing lasts forever. They will actually arrest people, they'll
actually punish people for committing crimes on society. That will happen, right,
(22:46):
So when that happens, that's the first step. The other problem, though,
is the Giants. It's hard for me to imagine that
the San Francisco Giants are going to allow baseball. They say, well,
technically they don't own that area. Well, the Giants are
going to claim ownership now now that the A's are leaving,
(23:06):
And they said, well, there, you know, we're going to
market over there. It's our territory and we're going to
get people to take the bart over and watch the Giants.
So I'll leave it. I'll leave it as a one
percent chance because there's probably some kid right now who's
maybe seven or eight years old, who loves baseball. Some
whack a doodle, and that kid will grow up, that
(23:28):
kid will become very smart and very successful in business
and create something amazing, and that little child will become
a gazillionaire, and that little kid will become a middle
aged dude or do you do that? And they will
grow up and they were like, I want to bring
baseball back. I remember going to baseball games. If I
(23:48):
my family and they'll have enough money and they can
make it happen. But that's the one percent chance outside
of that, forget about it. Forget about it.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Gets grilled after being reported the Jags head coach Doug
Peterson could be coaching for his job in the next
few weeks.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Ben, do you think Peterson survives the season?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, only because I if they want Belichick. I don't
see Belichick taking over in the middle of the year.
I know they say that's possible, but I don't believe it.
And Peterson, unlike urban Meyer who was fired during the season,
like Peterson is professional, He's just bad at his job, right,
you know what? I mean there's a difference. Erbi Meyer,
(24:47):
he was losing control of locker room. Doug Peterson, He's
got control. He just sucks as a coach.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Next, Anthony Richardson has the lowest completed completion percentage of
any quarterback in the league, at just barely above forty
nine percent. He also leads the league in interceptions with six.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Very impressive.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yes, been how long of the least? Do you think
Richardson has well?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
They drafted him as the quarterback of the future, but
they have Joe Flacco. I would bench him right now.
The guy can't play. I would put Flacco in. It's
still early enough. You can save the season.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Next, Kyle Shanahan was recently asked if there's a chance
that Christian McCaffrey won't play this season. Shanahan replied, not
that I know of. Benched forty nine ers fans be panicking.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yes, he went five thousand miles to Germany. All right,
he's in Germany to see a doctor and have some
weird blood treatment. It's not good. It's not good. How
do we know you pass? That is a road puddy
on the board.

I know the name.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
It's an architect that wants to rebuild New York City
as a utopia following a devastating disaster.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
It's getting middling reviews.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
But one thing that I wanted to bring up, which
is interesting, in a lot of the screenings, especially the
IMAX screenings across the country, they're gonna be doing this,
uh live scene. So I guess there's a scene in
the movie where it's a close up on the main
character and he's being asked questions by reporters off camera,
(34:04):
and in some of in like a lot of the showings,
they are recruiting somebody, whether it's like an employee of
the theater or reporter or somebody, to go up there
and ask the question live in person during that scene
of the character in the movie.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Huh. I don't know if I want that. I know
it's it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
I find it interesting. I don't know if I like it.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I'm want it interesting. I don't need that.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of weird, but uh,
you know it's it's it's cope, So I'll be checking
it out.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
H Now, the whole movie experience. I like it because
you sit there in the dark and eat popcorn or
whatever you eat. Right, you're not bothered by anyone, you know,
saying hey, you got to come up here, and I
don't want that.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Yeah, I didn't think you would be a fan of that. Man.
I'm looking at I'm looking at his list of movies here,
like the last not movies he's done.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I've never even heard of them.

Hang it out with you coast to coast, border to

(01:38):
loves the number ten thousand, big fan of the number
ten thousand. So our lead this hour is from the
National Football League and we'll start out in Jersey and
that's where Week four began in the NFL. You might
have seen it an NFC East slobber knocker well kind
(01:58):
of boys and Giants, something that we know the outcome
up just about every time these teams get together, we
know is gonna win. But they were wrangling on Amazon
with Al Michaels and Herbie. They were there, so I
assume you watched it, but maybe not, maybe you heard
about it. Dak Prescott throwing one of his two touchdown
(02:20):
fastest the c D Lamb and the Cowboys who essentially
toyed with the Giants. They never had a giant lead
in this game. The game was within the margins, as
we like to say, but they end up winning it
twenty to fifteen. Could have covered the spread at the end,
they missed a field goal in the final final minute.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
There.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So seven straight wins now for Dallas over the New
York Football Giants and fourteen of fifteen. There's a domination situation.
But the better story is in the losing locker room,
and so that is where we will go. We will
start with that and the question for the esteem panel,
(03:07):
where does this lost, this latest loss by the Giants
leave Daniel Jones and company? All Right? So I've got
porterhouse steak, wrapping paper, and butterball turkey, and we will
combine all of these things together and we're gonna put
the biscuit in the basket, is what we're gonna do.
(03:29):
So a not much is different, right, There's no such
thing as a moral victory. So the Giants they covered
the spread, which I was happy about for wagering purposes,
because they missed. The Cowboys missed the field goal in
the final minute. But the Giants continue to tread water
(03:52):
in the kittie pool. With Daniel Jones, it's the same old,
same old. Now for the low information fan, they'll look
at the overall numbers and say, wow, it was pretty good.
Stat sheet looks good. This is about as well as
Daniel Jones can play. He's not the problem. That will
(04:12):
be the popular opinion by popular people. Now we disagree
with that, because if you think that Daniel Jones is
good enough, you have very low standards, very low standards.
Giant said the ball nine times nine times, nine possessions,
and they had as many touchdowns as you and I
(04:33):
had none. Bupkis zero, no touchdowns. So think of this light.
You're cooking a porterhouse steak. You want that piece of
meat to sizzle, right, that sizzle Daniel Jones when he's
the state it's nothing but fizzle. But let's hear from
the man himself. Here's Daniel Jones asked about the lack
(04:56):
of Peter the lack of touchdowns frustrating.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
We're expected to score touchdowns and put points on the board,
and a game that I felt like we were able
to do.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
A lot and move the ball, well, move the ball,
but not into the end zone. Zero for two in
the red zone for the Giants against a cowboy defense
that had been absolutely bludgeoned by the Saints and the
Ravens the last couple of weeks. Now most of that
on the ground and the Giants had less than thirty
(05:29):
yards rushing in this game, which is an abomination. The
bottom rong cowboy defense. You had not one, but two chances.
Here's the other problem. So no touchdowns, but at the
end of the game, the Giants got the ball down
by a score. Touchdown would have given them the lead,
possibly won the game for them. They had two chances
(05:51):
needing a touchdown in the final minutes of the game.
What did Vanillavic do well? The first possession turned the
ball over on downs and the second possession an interception.
It was hail Mary type interceptions. Now on the other side,
does this win for Dallas? Does it get Jerry Jones
(06:11):
back on track, his team back on track, his Cowboys
back on track. So I'm shaking my head no on this,
and I'll tell you why. It's it's kind of like
those people that take credit and do a victory lap
after they shower and they brush their teeth. You don't
get extra credit for that. You're supposed to have good hygiene, right,
(06:33):
You're supposed to do that. Those are things that are
required in polite society, and it's become a birthright in
the last ten years or so. Where when the Giants
and Cowboys get together when Daniel Jones is playing, we
know who wins. The Giants are the JV And in
(06:53):
no way was this a dominating performance by the Cowboys offense.
They were out gained in yardage by the g men
and they only scored six points in the second half. Dallas,
they have wins now over the dregs, over the NFL,
the Giants, and the Cleveland Rounds. But Mike McCarthy, Mike McCarthy,
(07:15):
the ro Ton coach. He's singing a happy song. Take
a listen.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Winning is always a great thing, especially on the road.
Row wins are the best division games. You can add
another layer to it. So yeah, we feel great about
what we accomplished the night, but I think it is,
you know, for the fourth week in Row, we realize
that we have a lot of.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Work to do.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The Cowboy product. Just what I've seen here, it sounds
to me like they've changed the wrapping paper a little bit,
but the same garbage is in the box. All right.
Last word here, So interesting factoid about this game you
might have heard about it, maybe not fun fact if
(07:54):
you will. The Cowboys were traveling on a short week
for the first time ever. That seems impossible, but apparently
it's true. The Nerves have told us that every other team,
every single team in the National Football League has done
it at least six times, but the Cowboys have done
(08:17):
it none until this week, when they've played seventeen Thursday
night football games and this is the first one before
November twenty ninth. So how how did the Cowboys pull
this off? Where they just played their first short week
road game in franchise?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
History.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So my answer is the butterball turkey. The Cowboys were
grandfathered in. Jerry Jones is the godfather of the NFL.
He's also the grandfather, and it's not personal, it's strictly business.
Since Dallas plays host to Thanksgiving every year, right their
(09:01):
grandfathered in. They have been spared the indignity, the shame
of early season Thursday Night NFL going on the Dusty
Winnamooka road to play a game. However, keep in mind
the Lions have not been spared Dallas, apparently traveling by
stage coach. They played a sloppy game on Thursday. The
eleven penalties, some of those were actually penalties that the
(09:25):
other team committee, I mean, the referees were brutal. But yeah,
two star players hurt, Michael Parsons, Travon Diggs at least
two on defense, and some other players leaving into the
injury tent. So not an ideal not an ideal situation.
But the Cowboys are two and two and the Giants
(09:46):
are on the death spiral or Kamakaze mission, as they
will soon be out of playoff contention yet again. It
will be out of reach there one and three. The
Giants after that riveting start and the same old, same
old for them, same old, same old for the cowboys.

And the final, the very final report card is in
for a team that calls themselves VA's well come. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhares we huddle up and
(10:39):

(11:21):
and Tom Brady Rose fan and mister nice Guy Saw
of the Oakland Athletics. But tyraq dot Com the way
tire buying show be So I just checked my inbox
and there's some people upset that I don't have a
full mall monologue planned about the Doyers winning the Nation
(11:43):
League West. I don't. I'm not impressed. They win the
division almost every year. I'm not impressed. So when they
get to the World Series, we can talk. But the
standard for the Dodgers is not not to win the division.
They do that every year. But they've proven time and
again they can win the division. And I'm just waiting
(12:04):
for Dave Roberts in the bullpen to implode and Mookie
Betch to back one ten in the playoffs and Otani
to back one seventy with no home runs. I'm just
waiting for that to happen. But our lead this hour
playing the Hits, mom Man, playing the Hits from the
East Bay. We go for the final time in our lives.
(12:24):
More likely than not, the city of oak host a
professional sporting of man as every single team has left
that area. Now. The Warriors are still in the region,
but they're not on the other side of the I
mean they are on the other side of it. They're
not where they were, and so it's a different a
(12:45):
different animal. But there are no professional sports left and
in the last fifteen years, the Raiders, the A's and
the Warriors have all vacated the mass exodus out of Oakland,
but the last one turn out the as the party's over.
The team that will soon be formerly known as the
(13:05):
Oakland Athletics, playing their final home game and much anticipated event.
Someone named jj Blade I believe his name, never heard
of him hit an RBI single and he also had
a nice defensive playout in the outfield in center field
as the Athletics went out in style their final game
(13:30):
ever at the Coliseum in Oakland. Unless there is a
major snaffoo, a massive snaffoo, they're going, They're out and
they beat the Rangers three to two the final on
a nice, sunshiny Thursday afternoon. There was a sellout crowd
of almost forty seven thousand. Beautiful blue sky looked marvelous
(13:54):
September baseball. And that's it. It's all over. So let
us discuss the question, how do you react to the
final home game for the Oakland vintage of the Athletics.
So I've got evangelical, razzle, dazzle, and Southwest Airlines and
(14:18):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a stale hot dog, which is
what I think the A's have been selling the last
couple of years, stale hot dogs, but num burn. Now
I'm gonna preface everything I say with a qualifier. I
have no skin in the game. You know that my
(14:40):
allegiances are not with the Oakland Athletics. But you can
add this to the many lists of franchises in my
life as a sports fan that have zonked out of
the city they're in. I have seen the Montreal Exposts
bye bye. The Seattle SuperSonics see I've seen teams relocate
(15:02):
multiple times. The Raiders in my life have they were
in Oakland, they went to LA. They went back to Oakland.
Now they're in in Vegas. The Rams went to Saint Louis,
came back to LA. The Chargers San Diego Chargers, they're
back in LA. They were originally in LA, not in
(15:23):
my lifetime. They were in LA in San Diego in
my lifetime, then they moved to LA. And there have
been three teams that have changed their names that I
can and think of off the top of my head.
The Devil Rays now the Rays. The Cleveland Indians are
now named after a bridge. The Washington Redskins have a
(15:43):
filler name Commanders and now you can add the Athletics
the Big Ben's Big Board of sports franchises that have
altered their standing and and the listen I watched. I
didn't watch the whole game, we were busy with the
TV show, but I watched the end of it, and
(16:03):
it seemed like you had a lot of people very emotional,
as you would imagine. To my surprise, there was not violence.
There was not mass hoodlanism. People weren't stealing everything other
there were things stolen from the coliseum, but it wasn't
like I thought it was going to be. But watching
on my television and I wasn't there, and maybe somebody
(16:26):
will call in that was there or has more of
an eyewitness, boots on the ground feel to it. But
when watching it on TV, and I was very tired.
When I was watching it, it felt evangelical to me
that you had this energy, there was this passion in
the crowd, and it was like this very powerful It's
almost like a religious revival type thing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
They were alternating the rhythmic chanting sell the team and
other bad words and then let's go Oakland. And so
you had nostalgia nostalgia. A lot of people that grew
up as kids going to that ballpark and love the
A's back when they used to try to win and
put good players on the field every year. And you
(17:10):
had this universal bond, this brotherhood of all these people
from different backgrounds who were united for one common purpose.
To say, f you John Fisher, that scumbag owner of
the Athletics. Right this communal event where it's a morning process,
but yet there's unity in the community. And you had men,
(17:35):
women and children there who grew up some still growing
up worshiping the Athletics with the Athletics used to stand for.
And they all came Begere. I mean, they haven't been
playing there since nineteen sixty eight. That's a good run.
But one last time. That's it now page two here,
What are you going to remember about the Oakland era
(17:59):
of the athlete? So I'll go first here and you
can call in if you want later and give me
some of your thoughts. But for me, as an outsider,
I've been to that ballpark a few times over the years,
not many times, not many times. Covered some football games there,
baseball a few times, not many. I've been to Finway
Park more than I've been to the ballpark in Oakland,
for example. But my memories of the Athletics just in
(18:22):
hole in the hole wide angle lents in my youth.
I grew up in a time where the A's, believe
it or not, were the cool kids. They had swagger
and they always seem to deliver the dagger. And one
of the all time great World Series updates or upsets,
i should say, was the Dodgers and the A's, and
(18:43):
the reason that was such a big upset the Dodgers
were not that good, but the A's seemed invincible and
they had all the pizazz and all that magic. And
you think of the different players that have played in
Oakland that stand out to me, the pazaz of Ricky
Henderson Run, Ricky Run, the charisma of the steroid infused
(19:05):
Bash Brothers with Mark McGuire and jose Canseco. And I'll
also remember, on a selfish note, that I briefly did
some work for the radio broadcasts of the Athletics. I'll
probably talk more about that on my my podcast, but
I have fond memories of interactions with Bill King, the
longtime broadcaster for the A's who passed away a number
(19:27):
of years ago. And Ken Korak, who he's been there
a long time now, but he was a young whipper
snapper when I started, and he was had come over
from a minor league baseball, was at the broadcaster for
the Las Vegas minor league team, and so fond memories
of all of that, right, all of that. And I
think we actually have a clip of the the rhythmic
(19:50):
chanting just to give you an idea of what it
was like that that evangelical situation. Let's let's go to
the audio. Here's what it sounded like, little taste, so
kind of go and hear what it sounded like. And
I ask you for one more time to start the
greatest cheer in baseball. Let's go Glynn. All right, So
(20:33):
that's what it sounded like. Now, final point here, what
are the odds, just between me and you, what are
the odds that we will see baseball return to? Oh? So?
Using malor math as the mad math tician and sports handicapper,
I'm gonna crunch the numbers here the Mallard Sportsbook odds.
(20:55):
It's not zero, but it's plus nine thousand, plus nine thousand.
Now why is it plus nine thousand. The reason is
plus nine thousand is because that's one percent. It's kind
of like Southwest Airlines. You're at the airport there in
Oakland and there's two people, there's Slim and there's none,
(21:16):
and Slim is in Group A getting ready to board
the flight there on Southwest outbound outbound from Oakland. And
here's why. Now, I mentioned earlier in this Malady monologue
that we have seen teams leave and we have seen
them return. The La Rams left for twenty years, an
(21:38):
entire generation over twenty years without the NFL, and they're
back now. They're back being the other Rams. The Cleveland
Browns left to become the Baltimore Ravens, and they're back.
You would also argue the Indianapolis Colts, who were the
Baltimore Colts. I feel to mention them in my lifetime.
That happened. But Baltimore got another team, not the Colts,
(22:02):
but they got another team, The Charlotte Hornets relocated to
New Orleans and there is now another version of the
Charlotte Hornets. So there is a shot, but it's different
in Oakland. Now. My theory is that nothing lasts forever,
and that the lawless old west of Oakland is not
going to be like that. At some point the good
(22:22):
people will get fed up living in debauchery and will
put their foot down and say enough is enough, and
someone will actually come in and clean that place up
and make it wonderful again. It's certainly not going to
happen anytime soon with the politics there, but at some
point nothing lasts forever. They will actually arrest people, they'll
actually punish people for committing crimes on society. That will happen, right,
(22:46):
So when that happens, that's the first step. The other problem, though,
is the Giants. It's hard for me to imagine that
the San Francisco Giants are going to allow baseball. They say, well,
technically they don't own that area. Well, the Giants are
going to claim ownership now now that the A's are leaving,
(23:06):
And they said, well, there, you know, we're going to
market over there. It's our territory and we're going to
get people to take the bart over and watch the Giants.
So I'll leave it. I'll leave it as a one
percent chance because there's probably some kid right now who's
maybe seven or eight years old, who loves baseball. Some
whack a doodle, and that kid will grow up, that
(23:28):
kid will become very smart and very successful in business
and create something amazing, and that little child will become
a gazillionaire, and that little kid will become a middle
aged dude or do you do that? And they will
grow up and they were like, I want to bring
baseball back. I remember going to baseball games. If I
(23:48):
my family and they'll have enough money and they can
make it happen. But that's the one percent chance outside
of that, forget about it. Forget about it.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Gets grilled after being reported the Jags head coach Doug
Peterson could be coaching for his job in the next
few weeks.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Ben, do you think Peterson survives the season?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, only because I if they want Belichick. I don't
see Belichick taking over in the middle of the year.
I know they say that's possible, but I don't believe it.
And Peterson, unlike urban Meyer who was fired during the season,
like Peterson is professional, He's just bad at his job, right,
you know what? I mean there's a difference. Erbi Meyer,
(24:47):
he was losing control of locker room. Doug Peterson, He's
got control. He just sucks as a coach.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Next, Anthony Richardson has the lowest completed completion percentage of
any quarterback in the league, at just barely above forty
nine percent. He also leads the league in interceptions with six.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Very impressive.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yes, been how long of the least? Do you think
Richardson has well?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
They drafted him as the quarterback of the future, but
they have Joe Flacco. I would bench him right now.
The guy can't play. I would put Flacco in. It's
still early enough. You can save the season.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Next, Kyle Shanahan was recently asked if there's a chance
that Christian McCaffrey won't play this season. Shanahan replied, not
that I know of. Benched forty nine ers fans be panicking.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yes, he went five thousand miles to Germany. All right,
he's in Germany to see a doctor and have some
weird blood treatment. It's not good. It's not good. How
do we know you pass? That is a road puddy
on the board.

the movie where it's a close up on the main
character and he's being asked questions by reporters off camera,
(34:04):
and in some of in like a lot of the showings,
they are recruiting somebody, whether it's like an employee of
the theater or reporter or somebody, to go up there
and ask the question live in person during that scene
of the character in the movie.
