Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one of the
original recipe Ben Maler Show podcast. We were up all
night to record this podcast and now we swing the
bat at the pinata. Here in our number one, we
start out with Monday Night Football. Why the game was close?
(00:20):
We had drama and it went to Buffalo. But how
did the Jets look under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich making
his debut after Nick Sirianni was sacrificed with the Jets. Also,
how are Josh Allen and the Bills feeling after they
got the win? All that impressive? And we'll go to
Motown your Dan Campbell and the Lions, who you're gonna
(00:44):
call to fill the void left by defensive end Aiden
Hutchinson's season ending broken leg. We'll talk about that and
more right now here. It is our number one. Just
joshing around. That's all there as well. Come in the
beginning of another night of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air, eywares, we waddle into the darkness,
but we are deliciously different.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Coast stuck coast, border, the border and beyond on the

And had an editorial decision on my hands. Two baseball
playoff games, one NFL game. The baseball games were not competitive,
(02:04):
so I chose to go down Pig Skin Avenue to
begin the night. But we have plenty of time. We'll
be here all night on the red eye flight, so
we have plenty of time to get to everything, but
begin in New Jersey. That is where the final game
of Week six was played a Monday night. The only
(02:24):
team in New York playing in New Jersey, that would
be Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills visiting Aird Rogers and the
Jets in the swamplands of Jersey. You had the Fox refugees,
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on the call, and were
you watching Maybe not, Maybe we're watching some baseball or
(02:47):
exhibition basketball. I don't know what else you woul doing.
I don't know hockey. I don't know what you yeah
going on, but we watched so you would not have to.
Perhaps you missed it. And Josh Allen threw not one
but two touchdown passes early in game. He ran for
another score, and the Bills kicker Tyler Bass made up
for an earlier booboo as he kicked a go ahead
(03:10):
field goal Chip Shop twenty two yard field goal with
three forty three left, and the Bills held off the
Jets offense and they win, ending a two game skid.
They get a three point win twenty three to twenty.
Buffalo still has not lost three straight games with Josh
Allen as the starting quarterback. The better story though, on
(03:34):
the losing side. That's where the better story always is.
That's where it is here. The Jets have now lost
three consecutive games and a chance to go in the
first place, and the AFC East goes by the boards
as they lose at home, and they did it just
days after they poll as their head coach. So let
(03:56):
us discuss the question how did the Jets look under
the the interim coach, the former Hawaii Rainbow Warrior back
in his college days, Jeff Olbrich. How do they look.
So I've got deja vu, Yiddish and action thriller, and
we will combine all of these things together and we'll
(04:17):
go to the grade unwashed. Well, in a little bit,
we'll go to the great unwashed, that would be you.
But we begin with this. The sequel is the equal.
The sequel is the equal for the Jets. And what
do I mean by that the Jets. You look at
the team and I recognize that guy. That guy was
a first round pick, that guy was a second round pick.
(04:37):
These are building blocks to be a good team. They're
not a good team, but they have the building blocks
to be a good team. You see the various pieces.
They don't fit together. And I did not notice any
significant sea change with the new coach head coach taking
over Jeff Olbrick, who has continued on as the defensive coordinator.
If anything, as an object the active observer of the Jets,
(05:02):
it is a deja vu situation. And I do mean
the adult nightclub deja vu. The Jets roster is talented,
but they're like strippers. They tease you, but they had
all please you. Right, that's the Jets. You're longing for
more watching the Jets play. So they had three hundred
(05:22):
and ninety three yards of offense, which is a lot
for the Jets. They normally don't get to that level.
But they only had twenty points in the game, and
they end up doing the plexicode Burris dance is what
they end up doing, the Jets, and they shoot themselves
in the foot. They had a cocktail, a toxic cocktail
of penalties and mistakes. So the officiating in this game
(05:43):
was absolutely obscene for both sides. Jets in the red zone,
four chances in the red zone, one of four in
the red zone. I didn't play in the NFL, but
I believe that blows. How about third down? The Jets
had twelve third down plays only converted for them, now
thirty three percent. If you're a baseball player hitting three
to thirty, you're pretty good. If you're a quarterback converting
(06:05):
thirty three percent of your third down plays not all
that good. Eleven penalties, one hundred and ten yards of penalties,
and a partridge in a pear tree otherwise known as
Greg Zerline, the former Ram kicker missing a pair of
field goals in this game, and the cherry on top
of the poopy Sunday for the Jets airon Rogers. It's
(06:29):
gonna be different. It's gonna be different with Aaron Rodgers.
He got the ball back after the Bills went up
by three, plenty of time, plenty of timeouts to matriculate
the ball down the field, to play hero ball, to
do what the Hall of Fame quarterback would do, lead
his team down the field, suck up all the time
like a Hoover vacuum cleaner, and then scored the dagger
(06:51):
touchdown with less than thirty seconds to go in the game.
Did Aaron Rodgers do any of that? Eh? No, He
instead through a game ceiling passed that was picked off
by the Buffalo Bills their interception. Good afternoon, good evening,
(07:11):
and good night. And so while the offense didn't move
the ball a little bit more in terms of yardage
under Todd Downing, the results were ultimately the same. They
might as well have just kept that Bobo Nathaniel Hackett
as the play caller here the last three weeks. Now
the most important is stat how many points do you score?
The Jets are averaging fifteen point three points per game.
(07:35):
That stinks. Now on the other side, in the winning
locker room, Howard, Josh Allen and the Bills of their
first place here? How are they feeling after this victory?
So a breath as a team, a collective sigh of relief.
Here they can they can in unison all breathe the
same time. Do that rhythmic breathing situation. If you're the
(07:56):
Buffalo Bills here in the first place, Okay, does anyone
think they're on the same level of the other good
teams in the AFC. They're not. They're way behind Kansas City,
They're way behind Baltimore. If you look at Big Ben's
big board, Buffalo just not in the same pedigree as
those teams, even though they're in the first place. And
(08:17):
just don't look at the fine print. Don't look at
the fine man. This Buffalo squad now is missing something
that Gennis Aquah. They just don't have it right. Bill's
mafia is sauce. The Bill's offense. It looks like they
might be sauced while they're playing here. They are teetering
on the brink of mediocret, even though they have Josh
Allen at quarterback. Oh my god, what happened to everyone
(08:40):
gets fed? Remember that when they put up the big
point total early in the years. Everyone's getting fed. We
don't need Sefon Diggs. We're better off without Stefon Diggs
and all that stuff. Okay, I'm watching the Bills on
offense last couple of weeks. They're wobbly. They look like
they're punch drunk out there. That's the Bills. And they
got Josh Allen and they're just very good. You are
(09:01):
what your numbers indicate. They're not a very good offense
right now. They started this game with touchdowns on three
of the first four possessions. They're like, all right, here
we go. But then as the game went on, don't
ask right And as my grandfather would have said, in
the Buffalo Bills here the Yiddish term ex choose my
Yiddish here, their offense was verkokta in terms of production
(09:24):
points and whatnot the rest of the game. And since
hanging forty seven points on a team that quit, remember
that Jacksonville gutlass Jacksonville team that quit on that Monday
night game, and you put up forty seven points. Since
that game, the Bills are averaging less than eighteen points
per game over the last three weeks, and needless to say,
(09:45):
this is not the ideal situation for the Buffalo Bills,
and Aaron Rodgers had to bail out. Buffalo had to
do the thing you can't do at the time. You
can't do it through that interception and that wobbly pass
to mister Williams who slipped and fell and needed medical assistance.
As the Jets go down. The Bills get the win,
(10:06):
but not impressed with Buffalo at all. And if you're
a true member of Bill's mafia, you know this is
not that impressive. It is not all right. Now, last
word here we head now to Mowtown the day after
and the fallout from star defensive end Aiden Hutchinson Snap
Crackle pops season inning. He literally went out and broke
(10:27):
a leg. He went out and broke a leg against
the Dallas Cowboys, sacking Da Cooda Prescott. And so now
you are Dan Campbell. You have influence, you have power,
You're in a position to make something happen. You are
in charge. I know Dan Campbell's not the GM and
there's other people involved, but Dan Campell's the head coach
and he has to saying this. So you're Dan Campbell
(10:48):
in the Lions who you gonna call to fill the
void of Aiden Hutchinson, your star pass rusher being out
for the rest of the season. So the answer here this,
this is an action thriller. Okay, it's an action thriller.
It's Sinners and Saints, that's who you call, not the
New Orleans Saints. Thet makes white all right. First person
(11:10):
I contact is a Sinner, Max Crosby. If the Raiders
are completely tanking and based on starting Aidan O'Connell, I'm
starting to think that's the plan. They just want to lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose,
and get a top three pick in the draft. If
that is the goal and you're the Lions, you call
up the Raiders and say what's it going to take
(11:31):
to get Max Crosby out of Vegas? And you figure
you'll keep them around and what a dynamic one two
punch that would be when Aiden Hutchinson comes back next year.
But in the meantime, you don't throw away a season
because your defense can't stop anybody. And then you also
put out feelers to the patron saint of the NFL world,
(11:52):
J J. Wad Now JJ Watt, who was a meatthead
broadcaster at CBS. One thing the world need needs is
more ex jock meatheads doing broadcasting. So you got JJ
Watt there who has said, hey, even though I'm a
Midwestern guy, I'm over from Wisconsin, but I don't I
don't want interested in that. I only want to play
for the Texans. And that's it. He's indicated he is
(12:13):
not interested in the Lions. But that doesn't stop you, Right,
that's just the public consumption. Everyone's got a price. Everyone's
got a price. And so if you're Dan Campbell and
the Lions and you say, hey, this is just add water.
This is a just add water situation. It's Temptation Island.
(12:34):
It's the team that was in the final four in
the NFL last year. The Lions are playing very well
again this year. And one of the favorites in the NFC,
the Niners. I don't know if you know this, the
Niners have fallen off a bit. And so the NFC
is w open?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What open?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And you're the Lions are all right, we got we
gotta something going here, we got something cooking, and you
need to replace Aiden Hutchinson. So he say, hey, JJ Watt,
why don't you you't have to come right now. Why
don't you wait till the final two months of the season.
We'll bring in in late November. You know, you can
celebrate Thanksgiving. Right after Thanksgiving, we'll bring in and you
(13:11):
can play from Thanksgiving and then just through February, hopefully
to the Super Bowl, then in the Bayou in New Orleans.
And there you go. And if I'm the Lions, I'm
all in. And well, you gotta save the traffick, No
you don't. And if jj Watt doesn't want to play
for you, you offer the Raiders multiple first round picks and
throw a second round peck in and you can do
(13:32):
a pick exchange for Max Crosby and just throw that
out there to the Raiders. And again, the Godfather offer
will get you whoever you want. And the Lions have
all their first round picks and all their second round
picks over the next couple of years, so they have
a loaded arsenal of scratcher tickets to toss out. So again,
(13:53):
if you're the Lions, free unsolicited overnight radio advice, you
get the Sinners and the Saints, the patron Saint JJ Watt.
You say, hey, you want to come play for the Lions,
and then if he doesn't want to call the Raiders
up and say, what's it gonna take to Max Crosby, who,
if I'm not mistaken, shoved one of his coaches on
the sidelines in the game on Sunday, which is generally
(14:14):
a sign you're not happy where you are and I
don't care all the touching up and say, oh no,
that's not what it was. You don't know football at
kormas not to shove one of your coaches on the sidelines.
It is the Ben Malar Show if you'd like to
comment on any of this, or the Baseball playoffs NLCS
now best of five as the Dodgers handed the game
(14:36):
to the Mets and then the Yankees dominated the team
formerly known as the Indians and the American League side
of the bracket. Will take your phone calls if you want.
Lines are open right now. Also on X at Ben Mallor.
That's at Ben Mallory, the NFL micro managing and how
do you really feel? How do you really feel?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Seriously, we'll get to that and we will do it next.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (15:12):

Show sit on the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Malor Show. Just follow your host
on X he's at Ben Mallor. Man, you can post

voice of reason, your news guy, You're announcer guy. I'm
(15:32):
at Eddie on Fox Phil ex smoking some Mary Jane
right now, ah ah Lie from the tyrak dot com
Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Talking about that Monday and night came to begin the facifics.
Get through the calls, coming up in a malm with
super Marcus Steve from Parts Unknown. Right so, and he says,
Aron Rogers wants you to relax. It's really bad of
you to pull out the last four games of points,
seeing as one was played in a rainstorm and the
(16:05):
other was played in a hurricane. Wins and the weather
will only get better from here in New Jersey. I
know the sarcasm is bleeding through your words. Never bad
weather in late October, November, December, never in Jersey. It's
always a chamber of commerce kind of day. Now Bill's Monster,
(16:27):
we got real Bill's Mafia guys that are fans of
the show. Derek writes in he says this game proves
yet again why the Buffalo Bills are championship caliber. They
kicked but should have won by twenty. I really wish
there were more flags in this game. The Jets are
a dumpster fire of dumpster fires. I don't know what
(16:50):
you were watching in terms of the television. I'd like
to have what you were drinking while you're watching the game,
because I didn't really notice that big a difference between
the teams. They were neck and neck. It was tied up.
Bill's got a late field goal to win the game,
and the Jets out gained the Bills. The Jets out
gained the Bills in terms of first downs. The Bills
offense generated twenty of them. They also were gifted four
(17:14):
first downs by penalties. In fact, do we have that
Aaron Rodgers sound by Aaron Rodgers. You know it's bad
when Aaron Rodgers is admitting after the game has ended
that the officiating was so bad they should play a
game from south Park from years ago. On south Park.
They came up with this version of football, and Aaron
(17:34):
Rodgers is so fed up with the officiating that he
thinks they should go to that. Take a listen. He
just talking a little bit about the penalties tonight.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Yeah, it seemed to lotle ridiculous. Yeah, some of them
seemed really bad, including the rough in the passer, round
menus and rough in the passer. That's what I play
star castball if we're going to call those things. And
I thought the one on Ken Long was not rough
in the passer.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Either, and they did not look like roughing the past
or penalties. It was absurd. And the fact that Rogers
had kept the Sarcasta ball, which has to be how
old is that reference? That's an old south Park reference
that seemed like many years ago. I feel like that's
not a recent reference to south Park, but Rogers had
that in his back pocket. And the penalties I can
(18:21):
give you some of the numbers later, but it was ridiculous.
It was a throwback to complete incompetence by the NFL officials. Now,
speaking of incompetence, the Jets called out put on blast
by a guy that they'd like to have as their coach,
and it does not appear that he's very interested in
that job, at least publicly. Maybe it's just playing hard
(18:43):
to get Bill Belichick. Now, the great thing about this
Manning cast is there's no reason to watch it. Anything
good that comes out of it you'll just hear about,
For example, this, I didn't watch the Manning cast. Who
wants to watch that crap plan grab ass for four hours? No,
thank you? But I did get word that this happened,
and so we can break it down. Peyton Manning said
(19:04):
he felt that the Jets overreacted, that they should not
have gotten rid of Robert Sala when they did. They
should have given him more time. Of course, why not.
I mean, he's done such a great job. He's just
on the customer of turning things around. So Bill Belichick
then chimed in, you heard what Belichick said. Belichick said,
(19:24):
that's kind of what it's been there at the Jets,
barely one over thirty percent in the last ten years.
The owner being the owner, just ready aim fire, he said,
here you go, just ready for that done? Yeah, So
is that his way of saying, hey, I'd be willing
to coach the Jets, but I would like to have
(19:46):
a lot more money than you're willing to pay me.
In fact, I would like to get five cents of
every Johnson and Johnson band aid and all the drugs
that you sell. I would like to get a cut
of all the drugs that are sent out. That's what
I would like. So that's Bill Belichick, And does he
want that Eagle job? Is he eyeing the Jacksonville job?
He'll be back somewhere in the NFL spocks weed from
(20:10):
Oregon rites and he says, I just learned that I
am part of the Great Unwashed. I feel so much
better to be part of a group. Now. It's good
to have you. Yeah, you're part of the great Unwashed.
And the thing about this is we're not mainstream. And
I keep it real. And if you don't believe that
I am not mainstream, I can compare my paycheck to
(20:31):
Colin Cowherd, who is mainstream anything during the day six
am to six pm is mainstream anything after six pm?
And radio. There's two different worlds. It's the cosmos. It's
broken up. There's different layers to it. And we're in
the one that is not the mainstream. Now, we do
have the Green Bay Gobbler who is locked in here,
(20:53):
and it appears though he has his sleep timer set,
so he is listening. I don't know if he's gonna
fall asleep at some point. He does have the sleep timer.
He did set a reminder though, to hear the show,
so you know, it's a big night. The Green Bay
Gobbler enjoying as we talk about Aaron Rodgers Eugenie in Chicago. Right,
so he says, Ben, the New York Jets should have
won that game. The Jets field goal kicker missed two
(21:14):
easy field goals. And don't forget the penalties the Jets got.
Also what Bills and Jets both got an s low
a ridiculous and a scene amount of penalties. If you
had a real commissioner in the NFL, you would put
a zoom call together first thing on Tuesday morning, saying
all right, let me get the officials together, let me
(21:36):
get the head of the officiating and read them the
Riot Act. What the f are you doing? We are
in the entertainment business there, You're not the show. You
upstaged the game. You can't I realize you can call
a penalty on every fing play in a pro football
game that, by the letter of the law, there is
holding on every single play in the NFL. Right, there's
(21:59):
some vioholation. Someone did something they're not supposed to do,
and you can call a penthley and if you do that,
what you get is direk all right, you get die die.
Diarrhea is what you'll get. Bills and Jets made me
want to puke in my mouth watching that. Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.
(22:21):
Now Mickey in State forty eight, right, says, it's great monologue.
Don't forget to give Brian Rokio credit for his big
game one in the former Indians losing effort on Columbus Day.
We will get to that duly noted later on, as
(22:41):
he was half of the offense there. Let's see Rob
in Vegas. So let me get this straight. The Dodgers
monologue yesterday not today. He says, well, yeah, because the
game wasn't the game wasn't interesting nobody wants and the
game was old game. I'll tell you it's works. Rob.
(23:02):
I know you're not a radio programmer and you don't
understand how this works. So the way it works rob Is.
The Dodger game on Sunday night had just ended. It
was more interesting than the Giants and Bengals, two bad
teams who played each other and the game sucked. So
even though the Dodger game was a blowout in Game one,
that was the more compelling story. It's called broadcasting, not
(23:23):
narrow casting. So that's why we talked about that today.
The Dodger game on Monday and the Tuesday was played
during the day, so it's a long time ago. The
Monday night, I was actually debating do I do the
Yankee game or do I do the NFL game. The
Yankee game wasn't competitive. Cleveland didn't show up. They were
outclassed by the Yankees, and so I decided to go
with the football game because it was a close game
(23:44):
and you had Aaron Rodgers gag late in the game.
It's not that hard. I'll write a book someday and
I'll show you how this all works. It's not that difficult. Now.
Inca terrorized and says, after being a superstar in Peru
for the past month, I come home today to find
my Yankees trouncing my Bills, squeaking out a win and
my Benny continuing to dominate the airwaves. Life is good.
(24:07):
I didn't know you were in Peru. I had no idea.
You'll have to tell stories about your trip to Peru.
You have to let us know how that's going. By
the way, we'd like to also, I forty I in
has checked in and he is on the fifteen day
Disabled Us. Right now, I forty Ian. He is practicing
his cardiac Stanley impersonation and he's got it down to
(24:29):
while he said, I had landed myself in the hospital
he had a heart attack. Oh my god. All right,
I forty in in to take care of the ticker,
I forty in. We only have seven people that like
the show. You're one of them, so we can't afford
to lose any listeners. Okay, so please take care of yourself.
There he did give us the thumbs up. So now
we can't actually send a shout out to I forty
(24:50):
I in because we're not a morning Zoos show. Otherwise
we would send a nice shout out, but we're not.
We're not able to do that. We're not able to
do that. Help you understand.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Back to the NFL, and he says he's sorry. That
would be Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni saying he was
sorry for getting into it with fans in Philadelphia at
the end of their home victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
We'll talk more about that later. It is the Ben
Mahler Show and we need some fun, fun fun fun
fun fact, so mention a ridiculous amount of penalties that
we had in the Monday night game the Bills in
the Jets game. First NFL game where each team had
ten or more penalties and missed multiple kicks, field goal
(25:40):
or extra point since October of nineteen eighty seven, when
the Bills and Giants did so in a game that
was played with scabs. They had replacement players. So you
got all the way back to nineteen eighty seven. I
remember that. That was weird. Not be able to do
that today. You could not. If the NFL players went
(26:03):
on strike and they said, all right, we're gonna get
a bunch of guys and have workout camps and just
have a free for all, that would not work. They
could try it, but it wouldn't It wouldn't work. These
XFL guys. Have you seen the XFL? Have you watched
the I have the USFL or whatever I try to
I try to get into it. It's just that what
(26:24):
is that like? Extra men? Yes, that's what very obese men.
They have very fat men. Minimum minimum weight of three
hundred and fifty pounds to be in LA. You're a
defensive back at three fifty.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
The weig before the game. And if you're not at
a certain weight, can't play.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yes, in fact, if you're not, if you don't make weight,
if you're not over three point fifty, they have a
table with ice cream. It's very entertaining. They feed you
ice cream with whipped cream. Yeah they do. Yeah, exactly delicious.
All right, So that is And how about Joe Douglas.
Remember when Joe Douglas was hired. This guy's the savior
of the Jet. He knows where all the great players
(27:01):
are and all that. Joe Douglas, now as general manager
of the Jets, has been there for eighty nine games.
The Jets are twenty nine and sixty in the reign
of Joe Douglas. Now I'm not an NFL executive, but
where I come from. That's not good. A three twenty
six winning percentage for Joe Douglas as the general manager
(27:22):
of the New York Jets. It is the Ben Mallin Show.
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
trucker Shane, who is in the Sunshine State. Hello trucker Shane.
Hey man, Hey, what are you houling? What do you got?
What do you got in the truck? You don't even
know what you have in the truck? Do you have
no idea? You're driving the truck? You have no idea?
(27:44):
What's behind you in the truck? Do you no idea?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
No? I'm just it's illegal aliens, I think.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
All right, well perfect, there you go. The election's coming
up here next month. There you go, all right, yes, yes, say.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Other don't Davante had him? I'll tell you it's so
hard being a Raiders fan. And that's bad enough. But
now we got Max Crosby. I hear the Fossty being traded.
If we get rid of him, I'm just gonna throw
my stuff away because our owner is just a complete
the phone.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
No, you're not going to do that. Yeah, don't allver
react here, You're not You've invested your lifetime as a
Raider fan. You're not gonna get rid of all your gear.
That's not gonna happen. You know that.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
It's so bad. It's like being stuck at an elevator
for the last twenty years. Okay, And you look on
TV and see a terrible towel in our stadium on Sunday,
overtaking the head of the fans.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It's just like, yeah, well, I support you, Shane. I
think you should just give him up. No, no, don't
know he's a Bronco fan. You don't listen to a
Bronco fan. Listen. Times are tough. I get it. And
here's what I would tell you. And I say this,
and I don't. I don't want you to be a sucker.
And the jet that the Raiders are a bad product
right now, And I don't want you to be a sucker.
(29:00):
But I think what you should do is be like
a bear, but not a Chicago bear, and hibernate and
just you know, take it easy, you know, leave your
stuff in the closet there, clothes and all that stuff,
and and not be as engaged. And that show the
thing that scares all these people in sports is the
a word apathy that is that is the death of
(29:22):
the entire industrial complex of sports. So if you have
apathy for the Raiders, and which is completely reasonable until
they end up figuring things out a little bit, that
would be completely understandable. But you know it just maybe
you get a gambling problem, you know, not problem, but
you just you know, find some things to bet on
outside of the Raiders and you live your life.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Okay, maybe I'll just do it to take that route
and just not give it care for a while.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, if they don't care, why should you? Why should
you care? Right, That's what I look at it, you know,
I Hey, listen, the Dodgers have been great. They're in
the playoffs every year. They've won the hardest World Series
of all time in twenty two. It's been a great
run for the Dodgers in the playoffs. But before that
they had this scumbag, Frank McCourt that owned the team.
It was so bad the fans had a boycott to
(30:10):
get him out as the owner, and they did. And
now now they've been successful and all that.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Now they're awesome. I like watching him.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I didn't like him on Monday, but yeah, usually I
enjoyed that. Yeah, all right, it will be be safe, Shane.
All right, thank you, Shane driving his truck where he goes.
I would assume he knows. I would assume he has GPS.
Truth with Timmy from Saskatoon says the Jets offense teases
(30:39):
but does not please, unlike you Ben, who absolutely did
please the mal and militia with that Darren wager where
you paid off the bed eating those rocky mountain noises. Yes,
I did, Timmy. It was disgusting. There's video on social media.
It's saved the testicles for posterity sake. There you can
(30:59):
see that video as the Clippers went down in flames
in the pandemic bubble, that cheeseball bubble.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Speaking of basketball, though, did you see the two for
one special? Paul George suffered a hyper extended knee injury.
He's out of the preseason for the Sixers and Kawhi
Leonard they announced will not play in the exhibition games.
He's hurt too. That God, Paul George is gone. That
(31:32):
guy will be eating alive by the cheese Steaks in
Philadelphia once they get a load of his act. He
ain't that good. We are hungry. We are hungry for more,
not good, and you might want to eat your veggies.
That would be Lane Johnson who was asked about the
state of the Philadelphia Eagles offense and he said the
Eagles offense is constipated. Ah, that's what he said. He said,
(31:54):
they're constipated, So they should probably eat some prunes. Wouldn't
that help? Maybe some roasted garlic get that system working
a little bit. You know, coffee is a great laxative.
Not a coffee drinking Yeah, me neither, But it's good
for the bowel movements. Well, you can. There's a lot
of different things you can use. And now that's big
(32:14):
coffee tries to get you during coffee. They say it's
good for your system. But I don't support big coffee.
I support big garlic. You can do some roasted garlic.
You make that move. Hey, I did I mentioned the NBA.
I wanted to mention this. The NBA has changed a
rule that they say will prevent cell phone use by
players and coaches during games. Say why yeah. According to
(32:41):
a story that came across My news wire, they have
communicated the NBA League Office they have revised cell phone
in social media policy prohibiting players and coaches from using
their phones from the tip off to the conclusion of games.
The previous rules said that the players and the coaches
(33:01):
couldn't use their phones for particular situations such as posting
on social media. Blah blah blah blah blah. But they
have updated the rules and they say they are adamant
and it was strictly enforced the no phone policy for
the length of games. So here's what you do. There's
a great work around. Get your laptop out. Just go
(33:22):
on your laptop. There you go done. You don't have
to use your phone. I'm not on my phone. I'm
on my laptop. That's it. I'm on my tablet. I'm
on the socials. I'm on the socials on my tablet.
This isn't the whole NBA product about the drama of
them posting crap on social media. It's much better than
the actual on court product until the playoffs come around.
But hey, what do I know? Time now for the
(33:44):
who am I? Game? You can answer this on X
at Ben mallor that is at Ben Maler if you'd
like to be part. And here it is, I am
a defensive back, who who is on pace to have
just three pass breakups all year. I had seventeen last
season and twenty six over the last couple of years.
I lead my team and targets defended, however, but my
(34:06):
fourth incompletion rate as a defensive back is just four percent.
That's not good. Who am I? That is the question
the answer. We'll get to it and we will do
it next.

It's Ben Mallor turned out for the who am I? Game?
I am a defensive back who is on pace to
have just three pass breakups all season, in which doesn't
seem to be very good. I had seventeen last season.
I lead my team in targets defended. However, my forced
incompletion rate is just four percent. Who which doesn't sound
(35:13):
very good either. Who am I? That is the question?
What's the answer? Mike checks in. He says Fred Smoot
is the is the answer. There's a good name from

say you again? I am a defensive back on pace
for three pass breakups all year? I had seventeen last year.
I lead my team in targets defended. However, my fourth
incompletion rate just four percent.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
That would be newly signed Chargers defensive back Eli Apple.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Now you got it wrong, Eddie. It's Lugerious Sneid of
the Tennessee Titans. He was so good with the Chiefs.
He blows with the Titans. He's terrible. He sucks.
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one of the
original recipe Ben Maler Show podcast. We were up all
night to record this podcast and now we swing the
bat at the pinata. Here in our number one, we
start out with Monday Night Football. Why the game was close?
(00:20):
We had drama and it went to Buffalo. But how
did the Jets look under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich making
his debut after Nick Sirianni was sacrificed with the Jets. Also,
how are Josh Allen and the Bills feeling after they
got the win? All that impressive? And we'll go to
Motown your Dan Campbell and the Lions, who you're gonna
(00:44):
call to fill the void left by defensive end Aiden
Hutchinson's season ending broken leg. We'll talk about that and
more right now here. It is our number one. Just
joshing around. That's all there as well. Come in the
beginning of another night of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air, eywares, we waddle into the darkness,
but we are deliciously different.
Speaker 1 (01:18):

And had an editorial decision on my hands. Two baseball
playoff games, one NFL game. The baseball games were not competitive,
(02:04):
so I chose to go down Pig Skin Avenue to
begin the night. But we have plenty of time. We'll
be here all night on the red eye flight, so
we have plenty of time to get to everything, but
begin in New Jersey. That is where the final game
of Week six was played a Monday night. The only
(02:24):
team in New York playing in New Jersey, that would
be Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills visiting Aird Rogers and the
Jets in the swamplands of Jersey. You had the Fox refugees,
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on the call, and were
you watching Maybe not, Maybe we're watching some baseball or
(02:47):
exhibition basketball. I don't know what else you woul doing.
I don't know hockey. I don't know what you yeah
going on, but we watched so you would not have to.
Perhaps you missed it. And Josh Allen threw not one
but two touchdown passes early in game. He ran for
another score, and the Bills kicker Tyler Bass made up
for an earlier booboo as he kicked a go ahead
(03:10):
field goal Chip Shop twenty two yard field goal with
three forty three left, and the Bills held off the
Jets offense and they win, ending a two game skid.
They get a three point win twenty three to twenty.
Buffalo still has not lost three straight games with Josh
Allen as the starting quarterback. The better story though, on
(03:34):
the losing side. That's where the better story always is.
That's where it is here. The Jets have now lost
three consecutive games and a chance to go in the
first place, and the AFC East goes by the boards
as they lose at home, and they did it just
days after they poll as their head coach. So let
(03:56):
us discuss the question how did the Jets look under
the the interim coach, the former Hawaii Rainbow Warrior back
in his college days, Jeff Olbrich. How do they look.
So I've got deja vu, Yiddish and action thriller, and
we will combine all of these things together and we'll
(04:17):
go to the grade unwashed. Well, in a little bit,
we'll go to the great unwashed, that would be you.
But we begin with this. The sequel is the equal.
The sequel is the equal for the Jets. And what
do I mean by that the Jets. You look at
the team and I recognize that guy. That guy was
a first round pick, that guy was a second round pick.
(04:37):
These are building blocks to be a good team. They're
not a good team, but they have the building blocks
to be a good team. You see the various pieces.
They don't fit together. And I did not notice any
significant sea change with the new coach head coach taking
over Jeff Olbrick, who has continued on as the defensive coordinator.
If anything, as an object the active observer of the Jets,
(05:02):
it is a deja vu situation. And I do mean
the adult nightclub deja vu. The Jets roster is talented,
but they're like strippers. They tease you, but they had
all please you. Right, that's the Jets. You're longing for
more watching the Jets play. So they had three hundred
(05:22):
and ninety three yards of offense, which is a lot
for the Jets. They normally don't get to that level.
But they only had twenty points in the game, and
they end up doing the plexicode Burris dance is what
they end up doing, the Jets, and they shoot themselves
in the foot. They had a cocktail, a toxic cocktail
of penalties and mistakes. So the officiating in this game
(05:43):
was absolutely obscene for both sides. Jets in the red zone,
four chances in the red zone, one of four in
the red zone. I didn't play in the NFL, but
I believe that blows. How about third down? The Jets
had twelve third down plays only converted for them, now
thirty three percent. If you're a baseball player hitting three
to thirty, you're pretty good. If you're a quarterback converting
(06:05):
thirty three percent of your third down plays not all
that good. Eleven penalties, one hundred and ten yards of penalties,
and a partridge in a pear tree otherwise known as
Greg Zerline, the former Ram kicker missing a pair of
field goals in this game, and the cherry on top
of the poopy Sunday for the Jets airon Rogers. It's
(06:29):
gonna be different. It's gonna be different with Aaron Rodgers.
He got the ball back after the Bills went up
by three, plenty of time, plenty of timeouts to matriculate
the ball down the field, to play hero ball, to
do what the Hall of Fame quarterback would do, lead
his team down the field, suck up all the time
like a Hoover vacuum cleaner, and then scored the dagger
(06:51):
touchdown with less than thirty seconds to go in the game.
Did Aaron Rodgers do any of that? Eh? No, He
instead through a game ceiling passed that was picked off
by the Buffalo Bills their interception. Good afternoon, good evening,
(07:11):
and good night. And so while the offense didn't move
the ball a little bit more in terms of yardage
under Todd Downing, the results were ultimately the same. They
might as well have just kept that Bobo Nathaniel Hackett
as the play caller here the last three weeks. Now
the most important is stat how many points do you score?
The Jets are averaging fifteen point three points per game.
(07:35):
That stinks. Now on the other side, in the winning
locker room, Howard, Josh Allen and the Bills of their
first place here? How are they feeling after this victory?
So a breath as a team, a collective sigh of relief.
Here they can they can in unison all breathe the
same time. Do that rhythmic breathing situation. If you're the
(07:56):
Buffalo Bills here in the first place, Okay, does anyone
think they're on the same level of the other good
teams in the AFC. They're not. They're way behind Kansas City,
They're way behind Baltimore. If you look at Big Ben's
big board, Buffalo just not in the same pedigree as
those teams, even though they're in the first place. And
(08:17):
just don't look at the fine print. Don't look at
the fine man. This Buffalo squad now is missing something
that Gennis Aquah. They just don't have it right. Bill's
mafia is sauce. The Bill's offense. It looks like they
might be sauced while they're playing here. They are teetering
on the brink of mediocret, even though they have Josh
Allen at quarterback. Oh my god, what happened to everyone
(08:40):
gets fed? Remember that when they put up the big
point total early in the years. Everyone's getting fed. We
don't need Sefon Diggs. We're better off without Stefon Diggs
and all that stuff. Okay, I'm watching the Bills on
offense last couple of weeks. They're wobbly. They look like
they're punch drunk out there. That's the Bills. And they
got Josh Allen and they're just very good. You are
(09:01):
what your numbers indicate. They're not a very good offense
right now. They started this game with touchdowns on three
of the first four possessions. They're like, all right, here
we go. But then as the game went on, don't
ask right And as my grandfather would have said, in
the Buffalo Bills here the Yiddish term ex choose my
Yiddish here, their offense was verkokta in terms of production
(09:24):
points and whatnot the rest of the game. And since
hanging forty seven points on a team that quit, remember
that Jacksonville gutlass Jacksonville team that quit on that Monday
night game, and you put up forty seven points. Since
that game, the Bills are averaging less than eighteen points
per game over the last three weeks, and needless to say,
(09:45):
this is not the ideal situation for the Buffalo Bills,
and Aaron Rodgers had to bail out. Buffalo had to
do the thing you can't do at the time. You
can't do it through that interception and that wobbly pass
to mister Williams who slipped and fell and needed medical assistance.
As the Jets go down. The Bills get the win,
(10:06):
but not impressed with Buffalo at all. And if you're
a true member of Bill's mafia, you know this is
not that impressive. It is not all right. Now, last
word here we head now to Mowtown the day after
and the fallout from star defensive end Aiden Hutchinson Snap
Crackle pops season inning. He literally went out and broke
(10:27):
a leg. He went out and broke a leg against
the Dallas Cowboys, sacking Da Cooda Prescott. And so now
you are Dan Campbell. You have influence, you have power,
You're in a position to make something happen. You are
in charge. I know Dan Campbell's not the GM and
there's other people involved, but Dan Campell's the head coach
and he has to saying this. So you're Dan Campbell
(10:48):
in the Lions who you gonna call to fill the
void of Aiden Hutchinson, your star pass rusher being out
for the rest of the season. So the answer here this,
this is an action thriller. Okay, it's an action thriller.
It's Sinners and Saints, that's who you call, not the
New Orleans Saints. Thet makes white all right. First person
(11:10):
I contact is a Sinner, Max Crosby. If the Raiders
are completely tanking and based on starting Aidan O'Connell, I'm
starting to think that's the plan. They just want to lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose,
and get a top three pick in the draft. If
that is the goal and you're the Lions, you call
up the Raiders and say what's it going to take
(11:31):
to get Max Crosby out of Vegas? And you figure
you'll keep them around and what a dynamic one two
punch that would be when Aiden Hutchinson comes back next year.
But in the meantime, you don't throw away a season
because your defense can't stop anybody. And then you also
put out feelers to the patron saint of the NFL world,
(11:52):
J J. Wad Now JJ Watt, who was a meatthead
broadcaster at CBS. One thing the world need needs is
more ex jock meatheads doing broadcasting. So you got JJ
Watt there who has said, hey, even though I'm a
Midwestern guy, I'm over from Wisconsin, but I don't I
don't want interested in that. I only want to play
for the Texans. And that's it. He's indicated he is
(12:13):
not interested in the Lions. But that doesn't stop you, Right,
that's just the public consumption. Everyone's got a price. Everyone's
got a price. And so if you're Dan Campbell and
the Lions and you say, hey, this is just add water.
This is a just add water situation. It's Temptation Island.
(12:34):
It's the team that was in the final four in
the NFL last year. The Lions are playing very well
again this year. And one of the favorites in the NFC,
the Niners. I don't know if you know this, the
Niners have fallen off a bit. And so the NFC
is w open?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What open?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And you're the Lions are all right, we got we
gotta something going here, we got something cooking, and you
need to replace Aiden Hutchinson. So he say, hey, JJ Watt,
why don't you you't have to come right now. Why
don't you wait till the final two months of the season.
We'll bring in in late November. You know, you can
celebrate Thanksgiving. Right after Thanksgiving, we'll bring in and you
(13:11):
can play from Thanksgiving and then just through February, hopefully
to the Super Bowl, then in the Bayou in New Orleans.
And there you go. And if I'm the Lions, I'm
all in. And well, you gotta save the traffick, No
you don't. And if jj Watt doesn't want to play
for you, you offer the Raiders multiple first round picks and
throw a second round peck in and you can do
(13:32):
a pick exchange for Max Crosby and just throw that
out there to the Raiders. And again, the Godfather offer
will get you whoever you want. And the Lions have
all their first round picks and all their second round
picks over the next couple of years, so they have
a loaded arsenal of scratcher tickets to toss out. So again,
(13:53):
if you're the Lions, free unsolicited overnight radio advice, you
get the Sinners and the Saints, the patron Saint JJ Watt.
You say, hey, you want to come play for the Lions,
and then if he doesn't want to call the Raiders
up and say, what's it gonna take to Max Crosby, who,
if I'm not mistaken, shoved one of his coaches on
the sidelines in the game on Sunday, which is generally
(14:14):
a sign you're not happy where you are and I
don't care all the touching up and say, oh no,
that's not what it was. You don't know football at
kormas not to shove one of your coaches on the sidelines.
It is the Ben Malar Show if you'd like to
comment on any of this, or the Baseball playoffs NLCS

Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Talking about that Monday and night came to begin the facifics.
Get through the calls, coming up in a malm with
super Marcus Steve from Parts Unknown. Right so, and he says,
Aron Rogers wants you to relax. It's really bad of
you to pull out the last four games of points,
seeing as one was played in a rainstorm and the
(16:05):
other was played in a hurricane. Wins and the weather
will only get better from here in New Jersey. I
know the sarcasm is bleeding through your words. Never bad
weather in late October, November, December, never in Jersey. It's
always a chamber of commerce kind of day. Now Bill's Monster,
(16:27):
we got real Bill's Mafia guys that are fans of
the show. Derek writes in he says this game proves
yet again why the Buffalo Bills are championship caliber. They
kicked but should have won by twenty. I really wish
there were more flags in this game. The Jets are
a dumpster fire of dumpster fires. I don't know what
(16:50):
you were watching in terms of the television. I'd like
to have what you were drinking while you're watching the game,
because I didn't really notice that big a difference between
the teams. They were neck and neck. It was tied up.
Bill's got a late field goal to win the game,
and the Jets out gained the Bills. The Jets out
gained the Bills in terms of first downs. The Bills
offense generated twenty of them. They also were gifted four
(17:14):
first downs by penalties. In fact, do we have that
Aaron Rodgers sound by Aaron Rodgers. You know it's bad
when Aaron Rodgers is admitting after the game has ended
that the officiating was so bad they should play a
game from south Park from years ago. On south Park.
They came up with this version of football, and Aaron
(17:34):
Rodgers is so fed up with the officiating that he
thinks they should go to that. Take a listen. He
just talking a little bit about the penalties tonight.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Yeah, it seemed to lotle ridiculous. Yeah, some of them
seemed really bad, including the rough in the passer, round
menus and rough in the passer. That's what I play
star castball if we're going to call those things. And
I thought the one on Ken Long was not rough
in the passer.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Either, and they did not look like roughing the past
or penalties. It was absurd. And the fact that Rogers
had kept the Sarcasta ball, which has to be how
old is that reference? That's an old south Park reference
that seemed like many years ago. I feel like that's
not a recent reference to south Park, but Rogers had
that in his back pocket. And the penalties I can
(18:21):
give you some of the numbers later, but it was ridiculous.
It was a throwback to complete incompetence by the NFL officials. Now,
speaking of incompetence, the Jets called out put on blast
by a guy that they'd like to have as their coach,
and it does not appear that he's very interested in
that job, at least publicly. Maybe it's just playing hard
(18:43):
to get Bill Belichick. Now, the great thing about this
Manning cast is there's no reason to watch it. Anything
good that comes out of it you'll just hear about,
For example, this, I didn't watch the Manning cast. Who
wants to watch that crap plan grab ass for four hours? No,
thank you? But I did get word that this happened,
and so we can break it down. Peyton Manning said
(19:04):
he felt that the Jets overreacted, that they should not
have gotten rid of Robert Sala when they did. They
should have given him more time. Of course, why not.
I mean, he's done such a great job. He's just
on the customer of turning things around. So Bill Belichick
then chimed in, you heard what Belichick said. Belichick said,
(19:24):
that's kind of what it's been there at the Jets,
barely one over thirty percent in the last ten years.
The owner being the owner, just ready aim fire, he said,
here you go, just ready for that done? Yeah, So
is that his way of saying, hey, I'd be willing
to coach the Jets, but I would like to have
(19:46):
a lot more money than you're willing to pay me.
In fact, I would like to get five cents of
every Johnson and Johnson band aid and all the drugs
that you sell. I would like to get a cut
of all the drugs that are sent out. That's what
I would like. So that's Bill Belichick, And does he
want that Eagle job? Is he eyeing the Jacksonville job?
He'll be back somewhere in the NFL spocks weed from
(20:10):
Oregon rites and he says, I just learned that I
am part of the Great Unwashed. I feel so much
better to be part of a group. Now. It's good
to have you. Yeah, you're part of the great Unwashed.
And the thing about this is we're not mainstream. And
I keep it real. And if you don't believe that
I am not mainstream, I can compare my paycheck to
(20:31):
Colin Cowherd, who is mainstream anything during the day six
am to six pm is mainstream anything after six pm?
And radio. There's two different worlds. It's the cosmos. It's
broken up. There's different layers to it. And we're in
the one that is not the mainstream. Now, we do
have the Green Bay Gobbler who is locked in here,
(20:53):
and it appears though he has his sleep timer set,
so he is listening. I don't know if he's gonna
fall asleep at some point. He does have the sleep timer.
He did set a reminder though, to hear the show,
so you know, it's a big night. The Green Bay
Gobbler enjoying as we talk about Aaron Rodgers Eugenie in Chicago. Right,
so he says, Ben, the New York Jets should have
won that game. The Jets field goal kicker missed two
(21:14):
easy field goals. And don't forget the penalties the Jets got.
Also what Bills and Jets both got an s low
a ridiculous and a scene amount of penalties. If you
had a real commissioner in the NFL, you would put
a zoom call together first thing on Tuesday morning, saying
all right, let me get the officials together, let me
(21:36):
get the head of the officiating and read them the
Riot Act. What the f are you doing? We are
in the entertainment business there, You're not the show. You
upstaged the game. You can't I realize you can call
a penalty on every fing play in a pro football
game that, by the letter of the law, there is
holding on every single play in the NFL. Right, there's
(21:59):
some vioholation. Someone did something they're not supposed to do,
and you can call a penthley and if you do that,
what you get is direk all right, you get die die.
Diarrhea is what you'll get. Bills and Jets made me
want to puke in my mouth watching that. Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.
(22:21):
Now Mickey in State forty eight, right, says, it's great monologue.
Don't forget to give Brian Rokio credit for his big
game one in the former Indians losing effort on Columbus Day.
We will get to that duly noted later on, as
(22:41):
he was half of the offense there. Let's see Rob
in Vegas. So let me get this straight. The Dodgers
monologue yesterday not today. He says, well, yeah, because the
game wasn't the game wasn't interesting nobody wants and the
game was old game. I'll tell you it's works. Rob.
(23:02):
I know you're not a radio programmer and you don't
understand how this works. So the way it works rob Is.
The Dodger game on Sunday night had just ended. It
was more interesting than the Giants and Bengals, two bad
teams who played each other and the game sucked. So
even though the Dodger game was a blowout in Game one,
that was the more compelling story. It's called broadcasting, not
(23:23):
narrow casting. So that's why we talked about that today.
The Dodger game on Monday and the Tuesday was played
during the day, so it's a long time ago. The
Monday night, I was actually debating do I do the
Yankee game or do I do the NFL game. The
Yankee game wasn't competitive. Cleveland didn't show up. They were
outclassed by the Yankees, and so I decided to go
with the football game because it was a close game
(23:44):
and you had Aaron Rodgers gag late in the game.
It's not that hard. I'll write a book someday and
I'll show you how this all works. It's not that difficult. Now.
Inca terrorized and says, after being a superstar in Peru
for the past month, I come home today to find
my Yankees trouncing my Bills, squeaking out a win and
my Benny continuing to dominate the airwaves. Life is good.
(24:07):
I didn't know you were in Peru. I had no idea.
You'll have to tell stories about your trip to Peru.
You have to let us know how that's going. By
the way, we'd like to also, I forty I in
has checked in and he is on the fifteen day
Disabled Us. Right now, I forty Ian. He is practicing
his cardiac Stanley impersonation and he's got it down to
(24:29):
while he said, I had landed myself in the hospital
he had a heart attack. Oh my god. All right,
I forty in in to take care of the ticker,
I forty in. We only have seven people that like
the show. You're one of them, so we can't afford
to lose any listeners. Okay, so please take care of yourself.
There he did give us the thumbs up. So now
we can't actually send a shout out to I forty
(24:50):
I in because we're not a morning Zoos show. Otherwise
we would send a nice shout out, but we're not.
We're not able to do that. We're not able to
do that. Help you understand.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Back to the NFL, and he says he's sorry. That
would be Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni saying he was
sorry for getting into it with fans in Philadelphia at
the end of their home victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
We'll talk more about that later. It is the Ben
Mahler Show and we need some fun, fun fun fun
fun fact, so mention a ridiculous amount of penalties that
we had in the Monday night game the Bills in
the Jets game. First NFL game where each team had
ten or more penalties and missed multiple kicks, field goal
(25:40):
or extra point since October of nineteen eighty seven, when
the Bills and Giants did so in a game that
was played with scabs. They had replacement players. So you
got all the way back to nineteen eighty seven. I
remember that. That was weird. Not be able to do
that today. You could not. If the NFL players went
(26:03):
on strike and they said, all right, we're gonna get
a bunch of guys and have workout camps and just
have a free for all, that would not work. They
could try it, but it wouldn't It wouldn't work. These
XFL guys. Have you seen the XFL? Have you watched
the I have the USFL or whatever I try to
I try to get into it. It's just that what
(26:24):
is that like? Extra men? Yes, that's what very obese men.
They have very fat men. Minimum minimum weight of three
hundred and fifty pounds to be in LA. You're a
defensive back at three fifty.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
The weig before the game. And if you're not at
a certain weight, can't play.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yes, in fact, if you're not, if you don't make weight,
if you're not over three point fifty, they have a
table with ice cream. It's very entertaining. They feed you
ice cream with whipped cream. Yeah they do. Yeah, exactly delicious.
All right, So that is And how about Joe Douglas.
Remember when Joe Douglas was hired. This guy's the savior
of the Jet. He knows where all the great players
(27:01):
are and all that. Joe Douglas, now as general manager
of the Jets, has been there for eighty nine games.
The Jets are twenty nine and sixty in the reign
of Joe Douglas. Now I'm not an NFL executive, but
where I come from. That's not good. A three twenty
six winning percentage for Joe Douglas as the general manager
(27:22):
of the New York Jets. It is the Ben Mallin Show.
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
trucker Shane, who is in the Sunshine State. Hello trucker Shane.
Hey man, Hey, what are you houling? What do you got?
What do you got in the truck? You don't even
know what you have in the truck? Do you have
no idea? You're driving the truck? You have no idea?
(27:44):
What's behind you in the truck? Do you no idea?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
No? I'm just it's illegal aliens, I think.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
All right, well perfect, there you go. The election's coming
up here next month. There you go, all right, yes, yes, say.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Other don't Davante had him? I'll tell you it's so
hard being a Raiders fan. And that's bad enough. But
now we got Max Crosby. I hear the Fossty being traded.
If we get rid of him, I'm just gonna throw
my stuff away because our owner is just a complete
the phone.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
No, you're not going to do that. Yeah, don't allver
react here, You're not You've invested your lifetime as a
Raider fan. You're not gonna get rid of all your gear.
That's not gonna happen. You know that.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
It's so bad. It's like being stuck at an elevator
for the last twenty years. Okay, And you look on
TV and see a terrible towel in our stadium on Sunday,
overtaking the head of the fans.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It's just like, yeah, well, I support you, Shane. I
think you should just give him up. No, no, don't
know he's a Bronco fan. You don't listen to a
Bronco fan. Listen. Times are tough. I get it. And
here's what I would tell you. And I say this,
and I don't. I don't want you to be a sucker.
And the jet that the Raiders are a bad product
right now, And I don't want you to be a sucker.
(29:00):
But I think what you should do is be like
a bear, but not a Chicago bear, and hibernate and
just you know, take it easy, you know, leave your
stuff in the closet there, clothes and all that stuff,
and and not be as engaged. And that show the
thing that scares all these people in sports is the
a word apathy that is that is the death of
(29:22):
the entire industrial complex of sports. So if you have
apathy for the Raiders, and which is completely reasonable until
they end up figuring things out a little bit, that
would be completely understandable. But you know it just maybe
you get a gambling problem, you know, not problem, but
you just you know, find some things to bet on
outside of the Raiders and you live your life.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Okay, maybe I'll just do it to take that route
and just not give it care for a while.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, if they don't care, why should you? Why should
you care? Right, That's what I look at it, you know,
I Hey, listen, the Dodgers have been great. They're in
the playoffs every year. They've won the hardest World Series
of all time in twenty two. It's been a great
run for the Dodgers in the playoffs. But before that
they had this scumbag, Frank McCourt that owned the team.
It was so bad the fans had a boycott to
(30:10):
get him out as the owner, and they did. And
now now they've been successful and all that.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Now they're awesome. I like watching him.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I didn't like him on Monday, but yeah, usually I
enjoyed that. Yeah, all right, it will be be safe, Shane.
All right, thank you, Shane driving his truck where he goes.
I would assume he knows. I would assume he has GPS.
Truth with Timmy from Saskatoon says the Jets offense teases
(30:39):
but does not please, unlike you Ben, who absolutely did
please the mal and militia with that Darren wager where
you paid off the bed eating those rocky mountain noises. Yes,
I did, Timmy. It was disgusting. There's video on social media.
It's saved the testicles for posterity sake. There you can
(30:59):
see that video as the Clippers went down in flames
in the pandemic bubble, that cheeseball bubble.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Speaking of basketball, though, did you see the two for
one special? Paul George suffered a hyper extended knee injury.
He's out of the preseason for the Sixers and Kawhi
Leonard they announced will not play in the exhibition games.
He's hurt too. That God, Paul George is gone. That
(31:32):
guy will be eating alive by the cheese Steaks in
Philadelphia once they get a load of his act. He
ain't that good. We are hungry. We are hungry for more,
not good, and you might want to eat your veggies.
That would be Lane Johnson who was asked about the
state of the Philadelphia Eagles offense and he said the
Eagles offense is constipated. Ah, that's what he said. He said,
(31:54):
they're constipated, So they should probably eat some prunes. Wouldn't
that help? Maybe some roasted garlic get that system working
a little bit. You know, coffee is a great laxative.
Not a coffee drinking Yeah, me neither, But it's good
for the bowel movements. Well, you can. There's a lot
of different things you can use. And now that's big
(32:14):
coffee tries to get you during coffee. They say it's
good for your system. But I don't support big coffee.
I support big garlic. You can do some roasted garlic.
You make that move. Hey, I did I mentioned the NBA.
I wanted to mention this. The NBA has changed a
rule that they say will prevent cell phone use by
players and coaches during games. Say why yeah. According to
(32:41):
a story that came across My news wire, they have
communicated the NBA League Office they have revised cell phone
in social media policy prohibiting players and coaches from using
their phones from the tip off to the conclusion of games.
The previous rules said that the players and the coaches
(33:01):
couldn't use their phones for particular situations such as posting
on social media. Blah blah blah blah blah. But they
have updated the rules and they say they are adamant
and it was strictly enforced the no phone policy for
the length of games. So here's what you do. There's
a great work around. Get your laptop out. Just go
(33:22):
on your laptop. There you go done. You don't have
to use your phone. I'm not on my phone. I'm
on my laptop. That's it. I'm on my tablet. I'm
on the socials. I'm on the socials on my tablet.
This isn't the whole NBA product about the drama of
them posting crap on social media. It's much better than
the actual on court product until the playoffs come around.
But hey, what do I know? Time now for the
(33:44):
who am I? Game? You can answer this on X
at Ben mallor that is at Ben Maler if you'd
like to be part. And here it is, I am
a defensive back, who who is on pace to have
just three pass breakups all year. I had seventeen last
season and twenty six over the last couple of years.
I lead my team and targets defended, however, but my
(34:06):
fourth incompletion rate as a defensive back is just four percent.
That's not good. Who am I? That is the question
the answer. We'll get to it and we will do
it next.

seem to be very good. I had seventeen last season.
I lead my team in targets defended. However, my forced
incompletion rate is just four percent. Who which doesn't sound
(35:13):
very good either. Who am I? That is the question?

say you again? I am a defensive back on pace
for three pass breakups all year? I had seventeen last year.
I lead my team in targets defended. However, my fourth
incompletion rate just four percent.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
That would be newly signed Chargers defensive back Eli Apple.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Now you got it wrong, Eddie. It's Lugerious Sneid of
the Tennessee Titans. He was so good with the Chiefs.
He blows with the Titans. He's terrible. He sucks.
