Speaker 1 (01:29):
Should be and somewhere in the Greater Kansas City area,
a very happy, very drunk Chiefs fan who calls our
show is smiling from ear to ear as he's boozing
it up as we speak right now. Because we're gonna
start with the game on Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
(01:55):
The baseball conversation is pretty good, but we're gonna start
appropriately with the story of the NFL because the NFL
is bigger than baseball and play the hits, my man.
So that was the site Arrowhead, the final game in
Week five on the NFL card, the reigning back to
back champs in action. You had the Fox refugees, Joe
(02:18):
Buck and Troy Aikman, who sold their souls, took that
nil money. They had the call. Taylor Swift was in
the hiszy. She was there hanging out. I guess they
have to continue their relationship. They cannot break up yet
because of the stories that were on the internet. Anyway,
if you didn't watch, perhaps you missed it. We watched
flipping back and forth between the baseball activity in the Bronx,
(02:42):
Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie, how did he do well? Mahomes working
his magic get any ragtag roster of playmakers, although you
would not know it by the results. Mahomes three hundred
and thirty one yards through the air, Travis Kelsey had
a game am I nine catches for seventy yards, Kareem
Hunt with twenty seven carries for one hundred and two
(03:05):
yards on the ground and also a touchdown. So if
you're in a coma for a few years, it's the
same old Chiefs. You had Homes, and you had the Kelsey,
and you had Kareem Hunt and any reads on the sideline.
Same old, same old, same old. But if you've listened
to the show at all over the years, you know
(03:26):
that one of the great mantras that we have is
the better stories in the losing locker room. And so
that is where we will begin. How have things changed
for Dennis Allen and the Saints who now find themselves
on the wrong side of five hundred through five weeks
of the NFL season? So how things change for Dennis
(03:47):
Allen the Saints. I've got Agua, magic, eight ball, and Jedi,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to pray because at this point the
Saint Steed Rosary beats the way things are going. So
a we'd like to welcome the New Orleans football team
(04:09):
to a place we call Realityville. It's a little village, Realityville,
also on the wrong side of the tracks. Now I'm
old enough. I don't know about you, but I'm old
enough to remember when the Saints were the talk of
the town. They had the Sizzle Reel, and when they
put their Scissle reel together at the end of the
year and they make the highlight film for social media
(04:32):
of what happened here in twenty twenty four, I believe
they will focus on the win against Carolina and the
win against Dallas and then fade to black, because that
appears to be what has happened here to these Saints
stories about this being the start of greatness. I read
an article. I remember reading this online. I laughed at
it the thim. I said, there's no way this can
be true. But people wrote writing this nonsense that Dennis
(04:55):
Allen had changed his entire career arc with that win
over the Dallas Cowboys. I remember he did some interviews
going around saying, well, you know, all this was. He's
trying to downplay everything because even he knew, right, even
he knew. Turns out that the quick start was just
that a false start. If you will here and now
(05:16):
uphill in need of oxygen, The New Orleans Saints false openings,
Like you see a movie gets that good opening scene
and then you're eating your popcorn. You're like, oh, it's
gonna be a great movie, and then you're oh, man,
that was terrible. I mean, it was got off to
a good start, but it was it was brutal. Or
it's like a relationship. We have a great first date,
(05:37):
you're all excited, and then after that it's like this
person's got bo and he's terrible. Anyway, So here's the
deal for the Saints. It's my theory is agua as
in water seeks its own level and extreme outcomes are
followed by more moderate ones. And these are the real Saints.
(05:58):
These are then that's Realityville for the Saints. They have arrived.
They got a trumpet quarterback. But the most disheartening thing
for me, and I'm not gonna sit here and pretend
like I didn't pick the Saints on the TV show
to cover the spread. I didn't do it because of
the quarterback. We'll get to him in a second. The
reason I did it was because I believe that there
(06:20):
had something special defensively. I didn't think that that was fake.
I now have changed my position. Their phony, their frauds.
I was bamboozled by the New Orleans defense not up
to the challenge. It's a measuring stick. Kansas City a
measures even without all of the playmakers. The fact that
(06:42):
that Chiefs team was able to go out there and
run eighty plays on offense. Eighty they had twenty eight
first downs almost five hundred yards of offense. Let me
repeat that for those of you a little slow in
the back of room. The Orleans Saints defense that fancied
(07:06):
themselves as a top five defense in the NFL, allowed
four one hundred and sixty yards to a bunch of
old geezers, and they had extra time to prepare. Emasculating,
embarrassing are words that I would use. All right, Now,
(07:29):
let's get to the meat of the matter here. Don't
bear the lead, my man, all right? So what the
heck happened to Derek Carr? So again, this goes back
to what we talked about at the beginning of the season,
Derek Carr. They had figured something out, new hot shot
play caller, offensive coordinator, a lot of movement, a lot
(07:52):
of people jealous of what they had in New Orleans.
All of a sudden they had unlocked the code for
Derek Carr. Well, much like the movie Cinderella, the glass
slipper has turned back into a crappy shoe, and that's
Derek Carr. Car had an out of body experience for
(08:13):
a couple of weeks. But now he's back in his
body and he is the quarterback that has a software bug. Right,
It's a software with a glitchiti sporadic malfunction, which is
a problem one of the cars we have, the Malamobile,
there's a sporadic malfunction in the electric wiring and every
(08:34):
time we have taken it to get repaired, they do
not recreate the problem. And then as soon as we
take the car away, the problem re turns. That's Derek
Carr in a nutshell, it is right. And so we
asked the Magic eight Ball. We said, hey, almighty all
powerful Magic eight Ball, we need your guidance. What does
(08:55):
the outlook look like for Derek Carr the rest of
the year. And the Magic gate Ball said, outlook not
so good is what the Magic gate Ball said. Now,
he did leave the game with an injury, so some
of you will give him an alibi. But before he
left the game with injury, Derek Carr sucked at a
time you can't not suck. Oh, he is terrible. And
(09:20):
this continues a trend the last three weeks since that
two to oh start for the New Orleans football team,
Derek Carr last three games averaging six point one yards
per pass attempt seven is average, six point one yards
per attempt, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and a passer rating
of eighty one point one like a college radio station.
(09:43):
Eighty one point one on the FM dial. That's Derek Carr.
So much for Clint Kubiak having the secret code the
offensive FOTIN eight er does not. And New Orleans they
have the Buccaneers up ahead, and then also the Broncos
and the Chargers. Now the Broncos have a top notch defense.
(10:04):
Not convinced bo Nicks is great, but their defense has
been playing well. Chargers will be good defensively, so the Saints.
That's looking like three losses. They're gonna be sitting here
two and six, two and six for New Orleans. Does
anyone disagree with that? Good luck?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now, last word here, let's go to the winning locker room.
How do you explain Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs performance
at four hundred and sixty yards of offense four sixty
against supposedly a good defensive team. But he said, it's
business as usual. That's my thought. I jogged down business
(10:40):
as usual with the unusual say why yeah, undermanned, But
it doesn't matter, and it will matter at some point
because they will play a team that's got guts and
guile and moxie, that doesn't roll over and play dead
like the suck bag Saints. That he will be a
pony down the line that has machismo and will not
(11:04):
play gutless football like the New Orleans Saints. Not that
I'm upset, but here's the thing about the Chiefs. On
this night, it was a special pop up promotional event
at Arrowhead Stadium, and I determined, and I know this
look scheduled closely. It was an old timers night. Yeah,
(11:24):
Andy Reid out there using Jedi mind tricks on the sidelines,
insane to the membrane. How about Kareem Hunt unemployed? The
guy was drinking cocktails when the season began. He was
on a beach somewhere and born again. One hundred plus
yards rushing touchdown run. How about Taylor Swift's boy toy,
(11:50):
Travis Kelcey. It was terrible for several weeks and people
those those he's really good and he wasn't very good.
Now he's back to being effected, but he's sucked for
a couple of weeks. But the most stunning, the most
mind betting, and the thing that you cannot handicap when
you look at these games, it's very mad when you
(12:10):
look at the handicapping situation. Juju smith Shuster, Juju smith
Shuster left for dead with the New England Patriots. He
turns back time the space time continuum on Monday night,
seven catches on eight targets for one hundred and thirty yards.
(12:31):
One hundred and thirty That is his highest yardage output
since prior to the pandemic, you know, all the way
back to January of twenty twenty, before the world went
insane and people were hoarding toilet paper and water and
people wearing odd masks and things like that. That's the
last time Juju smith Shuster played like a real NFL receiver.
(12:54):
But there he was against the supposedly good New Orleans Saints,
very impressive by these Saints defense. But to Andy Reid
and company, just keep rolling along. They are five and
zero along with the Vikings, the only unbeaten teams in
the NFL. You start peeking ahead, You're like, when they're
gonna lose, Well, who's gonna beat them? They've already played
(13:15):
the teams early on you thought were going to knock
them off. Now, normally you lose a divisional game somewhere
along the way, so you say, well, they're gonna lose
somewhere in the division because that normally happens. But up
ahead a bye week. Now, you can't lose the bye week.
If somebody gets arrested, you lose the bye week, or
somebody gets hurt. Bye week loss. But aside from that,
(13:36):
looking around after the bye week, they got the Niners.
The Niners can't even beat the Cardinals at home. The
game is in the Bay Area, but advantage Chiefs. You
got the Raiders at Arrowhead, Buccaneers, Broncos, and Bills. Does
that sound like a loss? Maybe the Niners? Maybe, just
maybe unlikely the way they played.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
The Regal Royals.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Welmeme in the beginning of another hour of the Benmaaler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, blathering on.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
As we have the Crumbia Crumbius flakiest sports takes of
them all coast to coast, border, the border and beyond
on the mast and forcefully powerful microphones of fsr M
monating live from the talk as we talk a mile

a guy ten thousand pounds score touchdown tyraq dot com
the way tire buying should be the fat guy touchdowns.
(15:04):
He made sure to send me a message a fact
guy touchdown. I said, Okay, fat guy touched him, so
I lead. This hour is not from the NFL's from baseball.
We start out in the Bronx Zoo. That was the
night cap on the baseball card. Night cap on the
baseball card. That was the scene prim time primetime matchup
on the Baseball menu. You had Aaron Judge and the
(15:25):
new your Yankees looking to go up to to zero
against the Royals in the American League Divisional Series. Bob
Costas was there more on that later with Ron Darling
on TBS. But were you watching? Were you checking this out?
Did you have this on your TV? I know Eddie didn't,
but I was watching. I'm a baseball guy. I think
(15:46):
I'm doing. It's like local radio in Kansas City. Last
hour was about the Chiefs, well mostly about the Saints,
but the chief Saints game, and now it's about the Royals.
So the story if you were not watching, Salvador Peres
the last link to the glory days of the Royals
when they were in the World Series back to back
years and one to one, Salvador Perez homeward leading off
(16:06):
the fourth inning and that was the spark plug, a
four run rally for Canza City as the Royals put
a fourth spot against Carlos Radon and the hometown team
if you're in Missouri, there beat the team from the Bronx,
the Bronx Bombers, four to two. The final was a
(16:26):
late garbage time home run for the Yankees, but four
to two the final Monday nights of the American League
Divisional Series is now a one to one situation. There
were not one, not two, not three? How about four
relievers for the Royals who held New York in doubt offense. Man,
(16:46):
they did to all run late, but it was mostly
the Royals bullpen shutting down the Yankee lineup. The starter,
Cole Reagan's was all over the place, walked a bunch
of guys, lasted four innings. You had Tommy fam journey
in outfielder friend of Jock Peterson, Tommy fam Garrett Hampson,
whoever that is, and Mike kel Garcia who drove in
(17:09):
runs for the Royals. So Game three, best of five
playoff series really best of three. Now Royals have home
field Wednesday night in Missouri. Let us discuss better story
in the losing locker room. What do your eyes tell you?
Or if you're blind, what do your ears tell you?
But what do your eyes tell you about the Aaron
(17:30):
Judge Yankees after two games of the American League Divisional Series.
So I've got laser printer, Madison Avenue and pop Pinstripe
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to crank up the skillet because the
Yankees are in the skillet. So num bur on the
(18:01):
surface being one in one, he said, Wow, it's not
that bad. Everyone's one and one. It's not that big
a deal. It does seem worse though, for the Yankees,
doesn't it. And here's why. Because the Yankees have the
same bull crap that I have to deal with watching
the Dodgers, the same nonsense, right, the same wizardry that
(18:23):
the Dodgers have, and it's like you put together a
laser printer and you recreated a carbon copy of what
the Dodgers do on the West coast. The Yankees are like, well,
we're the Dodgers, but we have pinstripes. What is my evidence.
Let me give you my evidence here, right, no sense
of urgency. That's the Dodgers every October. It's the same thing.
(18:44):
La la la la la la la la la la
la la la la. They don't care. Fans care more
than them. Same thing with the Yankees. Fans care more
than the inks. Terrible situational baseball. For example, the Yankees
have had nineteen at bats with runners in scoring position
in the first two games, three of nineteen, three of
(19:05):
nineteen in this series. Now, I didn't play professional baseball,
but that blows. That's terrible. Crap bags starting pitching. They're
checking all the same boxes. The Dodgers are checking all
of them. They had Carlos Redon who came out in
the first inning and was like late eighties, early nineties
Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off, striking out the side there,
(19:29):
and he was flexing and gyrating and all that. But
then he had to go back out and pitch again,
and he sucked after that. And Garrett Cole combined. The
two Yankee starting pitchers here, Cole and Radon have combined
to go eight and two thirds innings, fourteen hits allowed,
and seven earned runs. That works out my computer like
(19:51):
brain tells me an era of seven point two seven
for the Yankee starting pitchers in this beginning of the series.
Not exactly. Bob Gibson, White Good, and you fill in
whoever you want, Madison Bumgardner, any of those guys, great
playoff performers. But Aaron Judge continues to be an impostor
in the month of October. Kind of reminds you of
(20:11):
Mookie Bets that kind of reminds you of Rookie Bets.
He was one for three in this game, a measily
infield single for Aaron Judge, who was those Maam's home
runner in the regular season, one for seven with four strikeouts.
In the American League Divisional Series, the big bopper turned
rally stopper Aaron Judge, And someone might might want to
(20:31):
tell Aaron Judge, Hey, Aaron, it's actually it's May against
Toronto and you're mister may so, go hit a home run.
It's a pretend it's like a May game at the
old SkyDome there in Toronto and knock yourself out. You
got Aaron Bone who's just a middle manager, much like
Dave Roberts. It's like the Spider Man mean meme there
with Roberts and Boone and the beat goes on. Now
(20:54):
the money quote, apparently our editors got no postgame sound,
but the money quote here from the Bronx was Jazz
Chisholm Junior, and he was asked about the series being
one one. He had a home run late kind of
meaningless as a turnament, really seemed like it switched the
game around. It didn't, but Jazz Chisholm, the old Marlin
there hit a home run, and he was asked about
the series being tied one one, and he gave them money. Quote,
(21:15):
he said, it still feels the same that we're going
to win it. I don't think anybody feels any different.
We had a lot of missed opportunities tonight. The Royals
just got lucky. That's the money quote. Dang Ning Ning, Dan, Dang,
the Royals just got lucky. Maybe some of the people
in the building pet attention. We would have gotten that sound,
but we don't have it. So can you parse the
(21:36):
words of Jazz Chisholm Junior saying that the Royals just
got lucky? People freaking out by this. I can't believe
he said it. Oh my god, what is he thinking?
Uh yeah, well he's thinking this is on brand for
jazz chism and this is a guy. It's all about that,
or you know, he's gonna put that tough guy act
and all that. Now. I would also say this is
(22:00):
an audition for Madison Avenue Marketing Guy. Madison Avenue marketing guy,
because right now, somewhere at a T shirt factory in
Missouri or Kansas, they are printing up T shirts with
the Royal Clubhouse, it'll say just got lucky on the
T shirt, Just got lucky. Now, I do not believe
(22:21):
in momentum. I do not believe in bulletin board materials,
So I do not believe that this will have any
impact on the outcome of the series. That said, that
being said, well, nothing tangible will come of that in
terms of the outcome. It will not decide whether the
Royals win or the Yankees lose. But if the Yankees
continue down the path which we have seen many years
(22:43):
in the divisional series, where they don't get out of
the divisional series and they take a pratfall, this is
a quote that will shadow Jazz chiershom Junior will follow
him around Game one. If I'm wrong, maybe you can
correct me. But as I recall, Game one was back
and forth, Royal's blue three leads. That was a dog
fight in Game one and Game two, after the Yankees
(23:03):
took an early lead, Kansas City smacked the Yankees around
and shut him down for the balance of the game.
There a Royal performance. I guess they just got lucky.
All those relief pitchers just happened to get lucky, and
those four runs that scored. That was just look all right, now,
final point, we cannot ignore the other game which was
(23:24):
on obviously earlier. It was the A game, which was
really the B game before the A game, the undercard,
and this was a snooze fest. If you like offense,
there was none until late in the game, as it
took a Carpenter, Carrie Carpenter connecting on a majestic three
(23:44):
run bomb off of the sparkling Cleveland Closure, the greatest
relief pitcher in baseball in the year twenty twenty four.
It's the nerds are freaking out. He wasn't supposed to
do that. Why do you do that? He's not supposed
to pitch like that? Manual class A on the mound
(24:05):
there giving up the home run out two strikes in
the ninth inning and classe A serving up a meatball.
The Detroit Tigers get the dramatic three to nothing win
over the Guardians in Game number two. They're so that
series is tied up at one one. Heading back to Motown,
(24:27):
Carpenter drove a two to two pitch four hundred and
twenty three feet Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Tigers closed it out. So how do you explain the
Cleveland closer Emmanuel class A getting torched in that at
bat and giving up a couple of base runners prior
(24:49):
and then getting getting lit up. So I would like
to quote Pop in Stripe. That's what I'm gonna quote Pop.
You know, you don't know who Pop. Pinstripe is the
long time voice of the New York Yankees and at
one point reaching the very bottom of his broadcasting career
when he was a guest of my podcast, John Sterling,
who said and he said that he still says this
(25:11):
all the time. He was doing the game actually for
the Yankees. They brought him back because all the guys
they tried out sucked his Yankee broadcasters, So they brought
John Sterling out of retirement to call the playoff game.
He was on the call at Yankee Stadium. But that's baseball, Susan,
that's baseball. Yeah, a default answer used to explain anything
that doesn't make sense. There's no logical explanation for a
(25:35):
guy that had not allowed a three run homer ever
in the big leagues and then in the playoff.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Who.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, of course this actually happens a lot in the postseason.
The most famous example would be Dennis Eckersley years ago
in the World Series against Kirk Gibson serving up a
meet ball a friendly reminder from the Dixter Not Dick
and Dayton, but Dick Stockton, who told me stats to
tell you what has happened and not what is going
to happen, and thus the problem. Thus the problem. You
(26:06):
know what has happened, but you don't know what's going
to happen. That's why you watch the games. So this
great closer for the team formerly knows the Indians, Emmanuel
Klasse goes out there and gets torched in a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Bob Possas actually called that game to.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
The third degree. This is one big.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
He mentioned it briefly during yesterday's show. But Joe Burrow
is playing at an MVP level yet the Bengals are
practically already eliminated from playoff contention.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
What's going on over there, Ben, So they've lost a
bunch of close games, the Bengals. It also does not
help that the Cincinnati defense. The Bungals defense is ranked
twenty six in the NFL. So they haven't executed down
the stretch of games orgo the bow the other day,
and the defense has been terrible, and thus you are
(27:04):
what your record says you are. Next.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
So at the end of the Bills lost to the
text and Sean McDermott inexplicably called three consecutive passing players,
giving Houston enough time to get the ball back and
win the game with all their timeouts.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yes, Ben, do you.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Think McDermott could find himself on the hot seat pretty soon?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well? I would have already fired him for the playoff blunders,
But yeah, I would say why not? I mean, but
here's the problem. It's like all these other teams. The
Bills have an antelically analytically driven front office, and mcdermot's
gonna get a bit of a pass because they got
rid of Stefan Diggs. But it's it's not good. And
I was so mad I threw my remote watching that
(27:43):
game because I might have had Buffalo in that And
how do you coach like that? I mean, how dumb
are you?
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Next?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I also had Buffalo in that game, thank you.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Speaking of hot seats, Doug Peterson told reporters after the
Jaguars win on Sunday that the victory was a weight
off everyone's shoulders.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Ben does the W cool things down a bit in Jacksonville? Well,
only because it's hard to fire your coach when you're
in Europe. And I believe Jacksonville's next two games are
in London, so it's gonna be pretty difficult to get
rid of Doug Peterson while the teams in Europe. So
I think he's safe for the next couple of weeks.
Google Loop. How about that?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
There?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It is mala third.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
We have it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Now you pass? That is a W in the wing column.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Should be and somewhere in the Greater Kansas City area,
a very happy, very drunk Chiefs fan who calls our
show is smiling from ear to ear as he's boozing
it up as we speak right now. Because we're gonna
start with the game on Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
(01:55):
The baseball conversation is pretty good, but we're gonna start
appropriately with the story of the NFL because the NFL
is bigger than baseball and play the hits, my man.
So that was the site Arrowhead, the final game in
Week five on the NFL card, the reigning back to
back champs in action. You had the Fox refugees, Joe
(02:18):
Buck and Troy Aikman, who sold their souls, took that
nil money. They had the call. Taylor Swift was in
the hiszy. She was there hanging out. I guess they
have to continue their relationship. They cannot break up yet
because of the stories that were on the internet. Anyway,
if you didn't watch, perhaps you missed it. We watched
flipping back and forth between the baseball activity in the Bronx,
(02:42):
Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie, how did he do well? Mahomes working
his magic get any ragtag roster of playmakers, although you
would not know it by the results. Mahomes three hundred
and thirty one yards through the air, Travis Kelsey had
a game am I nine catches for seventy yards, Kareem
Hunt with twenty seven carries for one hundred and two
(03:05):
yards on the ground and also a touchdown. So if
you're in a coma for a few years, it's the
same old Chiefs. You had Homes, and you had the Kelsey,
and you had Kareem Hunt and any reads on the sideline.
Same old, same old, same old. But if you've listened
to the show at all over the years, you know
(03:26):
that one of the great mantras that we have is
the better stories in the losing locker room. And so
that is where we will begin. How have things changed
for Dennis Allen and the Saints who now find themselves
on the wrong side of five hundred through five weeks
of the NFL season? So how things change for Dennis
(03:47):
Allen the Saints. I've got Agua, magic, eight ball, and Jedi,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to pray because at this point the
Saint Steed Rosary beats the way things are going. So
a we'd like to welcome the New Orleans football team
(04:09):
to a place we call Realityville. It's a little village, Realityville,
also on the wrong side of the tracks. Now I'm
old enough. I don't know about you, but I'm old
enough to remember when the Saints were the talk of
the town. They had the Sizzle Reel, and when they
put their Scissle reel together at the end of the
year and they make the highlight film for social media
(04:32):
of what happened here in twenty twenty four, I believe
they will focus on the win against Carolina and the
win against Dallas and then fade to black, because that
appears to be what has happened here to these Saints
stories about this being the start of greatness. I read
an article. I remember reading this online. I laughed at
it the thim. I said, there's no way this can
be true. But people wrote writing this nonsense that Dennis
(04:55):
Allen had changed his entire career arc with that win
over the Dallas Cowboys. I remember he did some interviews
going around saying, well, you know, all this was. He's
trying to downplay everything because even he knew, right, even
he knew. Turns out that the quick start was just
that a false start. If you will here and now
(05:16):
uphill in need of oxygen, The New Orleans Saints false openings,
Like you see a movie gets that good opening scene
and then you're eating your popcorn. You're like, oh, it's
gonna be a great movie, and then you're oh, man,
that was terrible. I mean, it was got off to
a good start, but it was it was brutal. Or
it's like a relationship. We have a great first date,
(05:37):
you're all excited, and then after that it's like this
person's got bo and he's terrible. Anyway, So here's the
deal for the Saints. It's my theory is agua as
in water seeks its own level and extreme outcomes are
followed by more moderate ones. And these are the real Saints.
(05:58):
These are then that's Realityville for the Saints. They have arrived.
They got a trumpet quarterback. But the most disheartening thing
for me, and I'm not gonna sit here and pretend
like I didn't pick the Saints on the TV show
to cover the spread. I didn't do it because of
the quarterback. We'll get to him in a second. The
reason I did it was because I believe that there
(06:20):
had something special defensively. I didn't think that that was fake.
I now have changed my position. Their phony, their frauds.
I was bamboozled by the New Orleans defense not up
to the challenge. It's a measuring stick. Kansas City a
measures even without all of the playmakers. The fact that
(06:42):
that Chiefs team was able to go out there and
run eighty plays on offense. Eighty they had twenty eight
first downs almost five hundred yards of offense. Let me
repeat that for those of you a little slow in
the back of room. The Orleans Saints defense that fancied
(07:06):
themselves as a top five defense in the NFL, allowed
four one hundred and sixty yards to a bunch of
old geezers, and they had extra time to prepare. Emasculating,
embarrassing are words that I would use. All right, Now,
(07:29):
let's get to the meat of the matter here. Don't
bear the lead, my man, all right? So what the
heck happened to Derek Carr? So again, this goes back
to what we talked about at the beginning of the season,
Derek Carr. They had figured something out, new hot shot
play caller, offensive coordinator, a lot of movement, a lot
(07:52):
of people jealous of what they had in New Orleans.
All of a sudden they had unlocked the code for
Derek Carr. Well, much like the movie Cinderella, the glass
slipper has turned back into a crappy shoe, and that's
Derek Carr. Car had an out of body experience for
(08:13):
a couple of weeks. But now he's back in his
body and he is the quarterback that has a software bug. Right,
It's a software with a glitchiti sporadic malfunction, which is
a problem one of the cars we have, the Malamobile,
there's a sporadic malfunction in the electric wiring and every
(08:34):
time we have taken it to get repaired, they do
not recreate the problem. And then as soon as we
take the car away, the problem re turns. That's Derek
Carr in a nutshell, it is right. And so we
asked the Magic eight Ball. We said, hey, almighty all
powerful Magic eight Ball, we need your guidance. What does
(08:55):
the outlook look like for Derek Carr the rest of
the year. And the Magic gate Ball said, outlook not
so good is what the Magic gate Ball said. Now,
he did leave the game with an injury, so some
of you will give him an alibi. But before he
left the game with injury, Derek Carr sucked at a
time you can't not suck. Oh, he is terrible. And
(09:20):
this continues a trend the last three weeks since that
two to oh start for the New Orleans football team,
Derek Carr last three games averaging six point one yards
per pass attempt seven is average, six point one yards
per attempt, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and a passer rating
of eighty one point one like a college radio station.
(09:43):
Eighty one point one on the FM dial. That's Derek Carr.
So much for Clint Kubiak having the secret code the
offensive FOTIN eight er does not. And New Orleans they
have the Buccaneers up ahead, and then also the Broncos
and the Chargers. Now the Broncos have a top notch defense.
(10:04):
Not convinced bo Nicks is great, but their defense has
been playing well. Chargers will be good defensively, so the Saints.
That's looking like three losses. They're gonna be sitting here
two and six, two and six for New Orleans. Does
anyone disagree with that? Good luck?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now, last word here, let's go to the winning locker room.
How do you explain Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs performance
at four hundred and sixty yards of offense four sixty
against supposedly a good defensive team. But he said, it's
business as usual. That's my thought. I jogged down business
(10:40):
as usual with the unusual say why yeah, undermanned, But
it doesn't matter, and it will matter at some point
because they will play a team that's got guts and
guile and moxie, that doesn't roll over and play dead
like the suck bag Saints. That he will be a
pony down the line that has machismo and will not
(11:04):
play gutless football like the New Orleans Saints. Not that
I'm upset, but here's the thing about the Chiefs. On
this night, it was a special pop up promotional event
at Arrowhead Stadium, and I determined, and I know this
look scheduled closely. It was an old timers night. Yeah,
(11:24):
Andy Reid out there using Jedi mind tricks on the sidelines,
insane to the membrane. How about Kareem Hunt unemployed? The
guy was drinking cocktails when the season began. He was
on a beach somewhere and born again. One hundred plus
yards rushing touchdown run. How about Taylor Swift's boy toy,
(11:50):
Travis Kelcey. It was terrible for several weeks and people
those those he's really good and he wasn't very good.
Now he's back to being effected, but he's sucked for
a couple of weeks. But the most stunning, the most
mind betting, and the thing that you cannot handicap when
you look at these games, it's very mad when you
(12:10):
look at the handicapping situation. Juju smith Shuster, Juju smith
Shuster left for dead with the New England Patriots. He
turns back time the space time continuum on Monday night,
seven catches on eight targets for one hundred and thirty yards.
(12:31):
One hundred and thirty That is his highest yardage output
since prior to the pandemic, you know, all the way
back to January of twenty twenty, before the world went
insane and people were hoarding toilet paper and water and
people wearing odd masks and things like that. That's the
last time Juju smith Shuster played like a real NFL receiver.
(12:54):
But there he was against the supposedly good New Orleans Saints,
very impressive by these Saints defense. But to Andy Reid
and company, just keep rolling along. They are five and
zero along with the Vikings, the only unbeaten teams in
the NFL. You start peeking ahead, You're like, when they're
gonna lose, Well, who's gonna beat them? They've already played
(13:15):
the teams early on you thought were going to knock
them off. Now, normally you lose a divisional game somewhere
along the way, so you say, well, they're gonna lose
somewhere in the division because that normally happens. But up
ahead a bye week. Now, you can't lose the bye week.
If somebody gets arrested, you lose the bye week, or
somebody gets hurt. Bye week loss. But aside from that,
(13:36):
looking around after the bye week, they got the Niners.
The Niners can't even beat the Cardinals at home. The
game is in the Bay Area, but advantage Chiefs. You
got the Raiders at Arrowhead, Buccaneers, Broncos, and Bills. Does
that sound like a loss? Maybe the Niners? Maybe, just
maybe unlikely the way they played.

the way tire buying should be the fat guy touchdowns.
(15:04):
He made sure to send me a message a fact
guy touchdown. I said, Okay, fat guy touched him, so
I lead. This hour is not from the NFL's from baseball.
We start out in the Bronx Zoo. That was the
night cap on the baseball card. Night cap on the
baseball card. That was the scene prim time primetime matchup
on the Baseball menu. You had Aaron Judge and the
(15:25):
new your Yankees looking to go up to to zero
against the Royals in the American League Divisional Series. Bob
Costas was there more on that later with Ron Darling
on TBS. But were you watching? Were you checking this out?
Did you have this on your TV? I know Eddie didn't,
but I was watching. I'm a baseball guy. I think
(15:46):
I'm doing. It's like local radio in Kansas City. Last
hour was about the Chiefs, well mostly about the Saints,
but the chief Saints game, and now it's about the Royals.
So the story if you were not watching, Salvador Peres
the last link to the glory days of the Royals
when they were in the World Series back to back
years and one to one, Salvador Perez homeward leading off
(16:06):
the fourth inning and that was the spark plug, a
four run rally for Canza City as the Royals put
a fourth spot against Carlos Radon and the hometown team
if you're in Missouri, there beat the team from the Bronx,
the Bronx Bombers, four to two. The final was a
(16:26):
late garbage time home run for the Yankees, but four
to two the final Monday nights of the American League
Divisional Series is now a one to one situation. There
were not one, not two, not three? How about four
relievers for the Royals who held New York in doubt offense. Man,
(16:46):
they did to all run late, but it was mostly
the Royals bullpen shutting down the Yankee lineup. The starter,
Cole Reagan's was all over the place, walked a bunch
of guys, lasted four innings. You had Tommy fam journey
in outfielder friend of Jock Peterson, Tommy fam Garrett Hampson,
whoever that is, and Mike kel Garcia who drove in
(17:09):
runs for the Royals. So Game three, best of five
playoff series really best of three. Now Royals have home
field Wednesday night in Missouri. Let us discuss better story
in the losing locker room. What do your eyes tell you?
Or if you're blind, what do your ears tell you?
But what do your eyes tell you about the Aaron
(17:30):
Judge Yankees after two games of the American League Divisional Series.
So I've got laser printer, Madison Avenue and pop Pinstripe
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to crank up the skillet because the
Yankees are in the skillet. So num bur on the
(18:01):
surface being one in one, he said, Wow, it's not
that bad. Everyone's one and one. It's not that big
a deal. It does seem worse though, for the Yankees,
doesn't it. And here's why. Because the Yankees have the
same bull crap that I have to deal with watching
the Dodgers, the same nonsense, right, the same wizardry that
(18:23):
the Dodgers have, and it's like you put together a
laser printer and you recreated a carbon copy of what
the Dodgers do on the West coast. The Yankees are like, well,
we're the Dodgers, but we have pinstripes. What is my evidence.
Let me give you my evidence here, right, no sense
of urgency. That's the Dodgers every October. It's the same thing.
(18:44):
La la la la la la la la la la
la la la la. They don't care. Fans care more
than them. Same thing with the Yankees. Fans care more
than the inks. Terrible situational baseball. For example, the Yankees
have had nineteen at bats with runners in scoring position
in the first two games, three of nineteen, three of
(19:05):
nineteen in this series. Now, I didn't play professional baseball,
but that blows. That's terrible. Crap bags starting pitching. They're
checking all the same boxes. The Dodgers are checking all
of them. They had Carlos Redon who came out in
the first inning and was like late eighties, early nineties
Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off, striking out the side there,
(19:29):
and he was flexing and gyrating and all that. But
then he had to go back out and pitch again,
and he sucked after that. And Garrett Cole combined. The
two Yankee starting pitchers here, Cole and Radon have combined
to go eight and two thirds innings, fourteen hits allowed,
and seven earned runs. That works out my computer like
(19:51):
brain tells me an era of seven point two seven
for the Yankee starting pitchers in this beginning of the series.
Not exactly. Bob Gibson, White Good, and you fill in
whoever you want, Madison Bumgardner, any of those guys, great
playoff performers. But Aaron Judge continues to be an impostor
in the month of October. Kind of reminds you of
(20:11):
Mookie Bets that kind of reminds you of Rookie Bets.
He was one for three in this game, a measily
infield single for Aaron Judge, who was those Maam's home
runner in the regular season, one for seven with four strikeouts.
In the American League Divisional Series, the big bopper turned
rally stopper Aaron Judge, And someone might might want to
(20:31):
tell Aaron Judge, Hey, Aaron, it's actually it's May against
Toronto and you're mister may so, go hit a home run.
It's a pretend it's like a May game at the
old SkyDome there in Toronto and knock yourself out. You
got Aaron Bone who's just a middle manager, much like
Dave Roberts. It's like the Spider Man mean meme there
with Roberts and Boone and the beat goes on. Now
(20:54):
the money quote, apparently our editors got no postgame sound,
but the money quote here from the Bronx was Jazz
Chisholm Junior, and he was asked about the series being
one one. He had a home run late kind of
meaningless as a turnament, really seemed like it switched the
game around. It didn't, but Jazz Chisholm, the old Marlin
there hit a home run, and he was asked about
the series being tied one one, and he gave them money. Quote,
(21:15):
he said, it still feels the same that we're going
to win it. I don't think anybody feels any different.
We had a lot of missed opportunities tonight. The Royals
just got lucky. That's the money quote. Dang Ning Ning, Dan, Dang,
the Royals just got lucky. Maybe some of the people
in the building pet attention. We would have gotten that sound,
but we don't have it. So can you parse the
(21:36):
words of Jazz Chisholm Junior saying that the Royals just
got lucky? People freaking out by this. I can't believe
he said it. Oh my god, what is he thinking?
Uh yeah, well he's thinking this is on brand for
jazz chism and this is a guy. It's all about that,
or you know, he's gonna put that tough guy act
and all that. Now. I would also say this is
(22:00):
an audition for Madison Avenue Marketing Guy. Madison Avenue marketing guy,
because right now, somewhere at a T shirt factory in
Missouri or Kansas, they are printing up T shirts with
the Royal Clubhouse, it'll say just got lucky on the
T shirt, Just got lucky. Now, I do not believe
(22:21):
in momentum. I do not believe in bulletin board materials,
So I do not believe that this will have any
impact on the outcome of the series. That said, that
being said, well, nothing tangible will come of that in
terms of the outcome. It will not decide whether the
Royals win or the Yankees lose. But if the Yankees
continue down the path which we have seen many years
(22:43):
in the divisional series, where they don't get out of
the divisional series and they take a pratfall, this is
a quote that will shadow Jazz chiershom Junior will follow
him around Game one. If I'm wrong, maybe you can
correct me. But as I recall, Game one was back
and forth, Royal's blue three leads. That was a dog
fight in Game one and Game two, after the Yankees
(23:03):
took an early lead, Kansas City smacked the Yankees around
and shut him down for the balance of the game.
There a Royal performance. I guess they just got lucky.
All those relief pitchers just happened to get lucky, and
those four runs that scored. That was just look all right, now,
final point, we cannot ignore the other game which was
(23:24):
on obviously earlier. It was the A game, which was
really the B game before the A game, the undercard,
and this was a snooze fest. If you like offense,
there was none until late in the game, as it
took a Carpenter, Carrie Carpenter connecting on a majestic three
(23:44):
run bomb off of the sparkling Cleveland Closure, the greatest
relief pitcher in baseball in the year twenty twenty four.
It's the nerds are freaking out. He wasn't supposed to
do that. Why do you do that? He's not supposed
to pitch like that? Manual class A on the mound
(24:05):
there giving up the home run out two strikes in
the ninth inning and classe A serving up a meatball.
The Detroit Tigers get the dramatic three to nothing win
over the Guardians in Game number two. They're so that
series is tied up at one one. Heading back to Motown,
(24:27):
Carpenter drove a two to two pitch four hundred and
twenty three feet Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Tigers closed it out. So how do you explain the
Cleveland closer Emmanuel class A getting torched in that at
bat and giving up a couple of base runners prior
(24:49):
and then getting getting lit up. So I would like
to quote Pop in Stripe. That's what I'm gonna quote Pop.
You know, you don't know who Pop. Pinstripe is the
long time voice of the New York Yankees and at
one point reaching the very bottom of his broadcasting career
when he was a guest of my podcast, John Sterling,
who said and he said that he still says this
(25:11):
all the time. He was doing the game actually for
the Yankees. They brought him back because all the guys
they tried out sucked his Yankee broadcasters, So they brought
John Sterling out of retirement to call the playoff game.
He was on the call at Yankee Stadium. But that's baseball, Susan,
that's baseball. Yeah, a default answer used to explain anything
that doesn't make sense. There's no logical explanation for a
(25:35):
guy that had not allowed a three run homer ever
in the big leagues and then in the playoff.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Who.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, of course this actually happens a lot in the postseason.
The most famous example would be Dennis Eckersley years ago
in the World Series against Kirk Gibson serving up a
meet ball a friendly reminder from the Dixter Not Dick
and Dayton, but Dick Stockton, who told me stats to
tell you what has happened and not what is going
to happen, and thus the problem. Thus the problem. You
(26:06):
know what has happened, but you don't know what's going
to happen. That's why you watch the games. So this
great closer for the team formerly knows the Indians, Emmanuel
Klasse goes out there and gets torched in a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Bob Possas actually called that game to.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
The third degree. This is one big.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
He mentioned it briefly during yesterday's show. But Joe Burrow
is playing at an MVP level yet the Bengals are
practically already eliminated from playoff contention.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
What's going on over there, Ben, So they've lost a
bunch of close games, the Bengals. It also does not
help that the Cincinnati defense. The Bungals defense is ranked
twenty six in the NFL. So they haven't executed down
the stretch of games orgo the bow the other day,
and the defense has been terrible, and thus you are
(27:04):
what your record says you are. Next.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
So at the end of the Bills lost to the
text and Sean McDermott inexplicably called three consecutive passing players,
giving Houston enough time to get the ball back and
win the game with all their timeouts.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yes, Ben, do you.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Think McDermott could find himself on the hot seat pretty soon?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well? I would have already fired him for the playoff blunders,
But yeah, I would say why not? I mean, but
here's the problem. It's like all these other teams. The
Bills have an antelically analytically driven front office, and mcdermot's
gonna get a bit of a pass because they got
rid of Stefan Diggs. But it's it's not good. And
I was so mad I threw my remote watching that
(27:43):
game because I might have had Buffalo in that And
how do you coach like that? I mean, how dumb
are you?
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Next?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I also had Buffalo in that game, thank you.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Speaking of hot seats, Doug Peterson told reporters after the
Jaguars win on Sunday that the victory was a weight
off everyone's shoulders.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Ben does the W cool things down a bit in Jacksonville? Well,
only because it's hard to fire your coach when you're
in Europe. And I believe Jacksonville's next two games are
in London, so it's gonna be pretty difficult to get
rid of Doug Peterson while the teams in Europe. So
I think he's safe for the next couple of weeks.
Google Loop. How about that?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
There?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It is mala third.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
We have it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Now you pass? That is a W in the wing column.
Put it on the board.
