Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number too, hour two ready
for you and we bounce around the NFL. What jumps
out to you about the latest loss from Aaron Rogers
and the Jets also thumbs up or thumbs down? Have
(00:22):
the Steelers now solved? There are quarterback problems with Russell
Wilson leading the charge in the burg and also any
insights you'd like to add to Texans wide receivers. To
Fawn Diggs saying that he's never the bigger person after
getting a dust up with the Green Bay Packers pregame
a game Houston would lose. We'll talk about that and
(00:44):
who knows what else here It is our number two.
Davante Adams in the house, but the Jets not ready
to take off. Welcome me. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malor Show.

baseball is done, we did that last hour. Congratulations Dodgers
and Yankees in the World Series. Dodgers eliminated the Mats.
(01:54):
They were knocked out, and so we'll have the World
Series starting on Friday, La versus New York. The Dodgers
can take ownership, can just move back to Brooklyn because
they will own New York having beaten the Mats and
the Yankees if they win the World Series. But our
lead this hour from football, and we start out in
the burg. That's right the confluence the Manahanga HeLa, the
(02:18):
Allegheny Rivers forming the Ohio River right there in Pittsburgh, PA.
Beautiful bridges, nice skyline there in Pittsburgh. That was the
setup as Davante Adams made as much anticipated dab you
in the cockpit for the j e Ts Suck, Suck, Suck,
as Davonte's Jets taking on Russell Wilson and the team
(02:41):
from Pittsburgh. It was on the Peacock with Chris Collinsworth
and Mike Turrico. And I don't know if you were
watching this or not, maybe you tuned it out. He
was watching the baseball. We were going back and forth
as we were watching both at the same time. It
is our good mits for today. It is our good
myths of the day. So Russell Wilson through for not one,
(03:01):
but two touchdowns. He ran for another, Russell Wilson accounting
for three touchdowns. Pittsburgh steamrolled late in this game, a
resounding exclamation point win thirty seven point fifteen, a beat
down as the Jets were so bad They're gonna be
(03:22):
sent out to the boneyard after that performance. The better
story in the losing locker room, and that is where
we will go. The New York side of things. Let
us discuss the question what jumps out at you after
the latest loss from Aaron Rogers and the Jets. So
(03:43):
I've got Rubberneckers, Mensa and Custer, and we will combine
all of these things together and we will throw our
terrible towel in the air everywhere. Is what we're going
to do so. The first thought I had watching this
game is how Aaron Rodgers has added unscheduled This was unplanned.
(04:06):
He's had a little trip. It appears watching the Jets
offense with Rogers under center, that he has decided to
take an in season darkness retreat. Wowsers. Uh man. That
was another winnable game. And the Jets came out. They
were up fifteen to six early, they had possession of
the ball, a chance to add on to that lead,
(04:26):
and then you make the big mistake and next thing
you know, the Steelers take advantage of it, and the
flag is up for Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh and Rogers
ended up handle him. Now, one of the interceptions was
was tipped and whatnot, but the passes were questionable as
(04:46):
Rogers set Pittsburgh up in business here and then after
the game, Rogers the quote which everyone's breaking down and analyzing.
He said that the team came out flat, that they
didn't have the proper amount of enter He said, I
mean Sunday Night Football on NBC, the only show on TV.
He says, I live for these games, and I just
(05:08):
don't quite understand why the energy was a little bit flat,
so he said. He said also at the beginning of
the game before the game, said it was flat from
the Jets, but actually got off to a decent start
in the game and then everything went to hell after that.
But it's pretty obvious watching Gang Green play here, watching
the Jets in all these primetime games so far this season,
(05:31):
that you and I are rubber neckers. Okay, we're not fans,
we're not observers, we're rubberneckers, and we're watching this slow
motion train wreck of a Jets season and say, well,
it'll be a plane crash, but I think it's more
fun when it's a train wreck. The New York defense,
they vaunted judg defense, Oh my god, they're so good.
(05:52):
The Jets defense allowed the Steelers to score on each
of their final five possessions of this game, so Pittsburgh
scored the games final thirty one points and the Jets
also had a missed field goal in that stretch of time.
As it's Murphy's law, anything that can go wrong is
going wrong at this particular point, at the worst possible
(06:12):
time for the Jets and the last four weeks, Aaron Rodgers,
the Great Savior. I know people in Wisconsin, and Packer
fans was smiling from ear to ear right now enjoying
some shot in freude at the expense of Aaron Rodgers
because the last four weeks Aaron Rodgers five touchdown passes,
six interceptions, a passer rating of seventy seven point one
(06:35):
for the Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. And oh,
by the way, the Jets, I believe, are owned four
in their last four games and are quickly free falling
at this point. Now, the good news is they're in
a division with the Patriots and also the Dolphins, so
because of that, the math still works out in their favor.
(06:56):
Buffalo is the team they have to worry about this
particular point. Now, on the other side, you're gonna go
thumbs up or thumbs down. Have the Steelers now solved
their quarterback conundrum with Russell Wilson and his performance in
this game? So I'm not going thumbs up. I'm not
(07:17):
gonna go thumbs down. I'm gonna go thumb sideways. My
thumb is sideways at this particular point. I'm not convinced.
I am not convinced that Russell Wilson is going to
be able to even play at this level. And it's
not like Russ was perfect in this game. He was not.
I mean, there were some passes that could have been
(07:37):
intercepted and whatnot, but weren't fine, that happens whatever, But
he had three touchdowns and was a big part of
everything in that onslaught that absolute domination at the end
of the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they just
took ownership of the game, and so Russ played well.
(07:58):
I'll give him his due on that, but I'm in
the middle. My thumb's in the middle on that. I
would pump the brakes on the celebratory party because I
know that given enough time, teams will be able to
figure this out and it will not be sustainable. And
a lot of what the Steelers did was a gift
from the Jets, and so I would say the Steelers
(08:20):
are still They're in the eye of the hurricane at
this particular point. That's how I would describe things. Russell
Wilson took off like a rocket in the second half
of this particular game, and for a night, Mike Tomlin
looks like an absolute men's Even though early on in
this game my TV was working properly, they were channing
for Justin Fields his name. There was rhythmic chanting going
(08:42):
on and all that. But Wilson, in order for us
to be convinced he has to do this again, there
has to be a carbon copy of this type of
performance again, because even with the Broncos, as bad as
he was with the Broncos, occasionally he'd have good numbers
and people go, oh, Russell Wilson, there you go, that's
what they got him from Seattle. And then you know,
you have four or five bad games after that, and
(09:03):
that's where we are. I would imagine at some point
Justin Fields will get back out there, either because Russ
won't play well or he'll get hurt. That's the most
likely scenario, but the bar is very low. Pittsburgh got
the twenty eighth passing office. That's why Justin Fields was
benched because they were not a good team at moving
the ball down the field through the air. Despite all
(09:25):
the fanboys and all the ones that had the brown
nose supporting Justin Fields. The reality of the situation, Mike Tomlin, unfortunately,
it's like, well, I live in reality land. I don't
live in social media land, the matrix. I don't all
right now. Final point to Wisconsin we go and Aaron
Rodgers old team there. The green Bay Packers get a
(09:48):
late field goal and knockout Houston in a game where
c J. Stroud did not play all that well. Did
not play all that well in this game, but the
story was what happened pregame. And someone we've talked a
lot about, if you've been with us on this show
over the last couple of years, is back on our
radar again, and that would be Texans wide receiver Stefan Diggs.
(10:10):
Very amusing moment here for Stefan Diggs, who's on the
Looney Tune spectrum there, Stefan, Because a pregame about twenty
minutes before kickoff, Stefan Diggs and Jaiir Alexander had a
verbal exchange. They got into it. Jaieir Alexander's defensive back
(10:31):
for the Packers, so they got into it on the
field on the green Bay sideline. Now, imagine, if you will,
there was one member of the Texans, Stefan Diggs, and
a whole gaggle of Green Bay players. Because it's on
the green Bay sidelines. Stefan Digg's talking about this said,
I'm never the bigger person. This is a quote. I'm
(10:52):
never the bigger person. Regarding the pregame scuffle, he said,
I don't give an f if I'm by myself, he said,
or with a million, I'm never the bigger person. This
is a direct quote from Diggs. I ain't letting s
word go like a ship. Ain't letting that go, Diggs said. Postgame,
(11:17):
he said, they picked it up or whatever, but I
ain't with the football, tough guy, and then he said
the S word. For some reason, we're not allowed to
say the S word. I think it's fine. We're all
adults here, but for some reason we can't say.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
So.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Any insights, any insights you would like to add to
Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs getting into it with multiple
Green Bay players and saying he's never the bigger person.
So I'd like to begin this part of the male
of monologue by pointing out he is accurate. That that
is a solid point of self awareness from Stefan Diggs.
(11:56):
He does not follow the normal football decorum, does not
and Diggs it would appear, also based on what we've
heard from what happened here, that he has a bromance
with American legend General Custer, that famous store we've all
heard growing up in going to school in the US
(12:17):
and all that. I assume they still teach it. Maybe
not these days. The Wolkesters might not like it, but
that's the gold standard for being vastly outnumbered. Little Big Horn.
You had I think the estimate is abound fifteen hundred
to two thousand SUE warriors and General Custer came in
there with about two hundred and fifty US troops and
did not go so well. Did not go so well
(12:39):
there at Little Big Horn. We know how that turned out.
And so Stefan Diggs not only does it not turn
out well for him in that, but then his team
loses on a late field goal. It is the Benntain
but they did cover the spread, so if you're a gambler,
you get screwed on it. It is the Ben Mallers Show.
I'm going to be part You can join us here

And I haven't had a multi sports star in a while, right,
I haven't had that back in the day. There was
a period we had Dion Sanders played baseball, played football.
You had some some other folks that would do that
(13:23):
as well. But could we have an NBA player be
an NFL player. Well, one big name in the NBA
is flirting with a future in the NFL. We'll get
to that and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Enjoying the sporting life. Good sports day, Good sports fan day.
I don't know about you, and one guy keeps sending
me messages here when are you talking about the w
NBA Eddie's going to cover that? I did not watch
a second of the w NBA Finals, And I have
no problem with that. That's not content for this show
that we do broadcasts. We don't do narrow cat.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Person not listening to the show, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
That's Eddie'll cover that. Eddie's our news guy. He's the
WU once you gonna go buy your Russell Wilson jersey. There, Eddie,
you're not you're not convinced, Like I'm not convinced that
that's sustainable. But that was nice.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I didn't even think he played that great, to be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, well, yeah, the intersetd how many points did this
Steelers off? Let me let me do a math on this.
Let me see here. Damn they said there'd be no man.
All right, So off mistakes by the Jets, do you
include a missed field goal as a mistake? Turnover on downs,
turn her on downs, turn around downs.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I count?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So this Jets turn the ball over on downs, touchdown,
and off both interceptions they scored touchdowns. So that's twenty
one points off touch off turnovers? Am I correct on that?
I believe I am? And then the missed field goal
he say, all right, well maybe not that doesn't count,
but yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
So I thought he was okay. But do I think like, like,
oh my god, why we we're not playing this guy
the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
No, you think he's gonna go into Arrowhead and beat
the Mahomes Chiefs.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I mean probably not. Mahomes isn't exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Is terrible he is. Yeah, he's been bad, but he
finds a way to win because the other guy sucks
more than him, and that that works out. Well, if
the other guy sucks more than.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You, it's to me it's kind of a plus minus.
I think some people would be like, well, Russell Wilson,
can you know, throw a touch on passing the red zone?
I'm like, oh, well, justin Field runs him in. So
it's like scoring touchdown. They're just doing it in different ways.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
So well, the good news is these Steelers have bad
They have two buys upcoming. They have Giants, the Giants,
and then they have the actual buy. So yeah, you're guaranteed.
You're guaranteed to have a three game winning streak just
by showing up in Pittsburgh. Giants and Steelers. Good luck.
Daniel Daniel Jones was benched. I had I ripped Daniel
(16:23):
Jones about a month ago on the TV show and
some women from Jersey was all upset with me.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
You clearly don't watch the Giants. You said that Daniel
Jones is in jeopardy of being benched, and it took
a couple of weeks. And how did they beat Seattle?
How bad is Seattle that they lost to the Giants
and Daniel Jones? I mean, my god, that's embarrassing. Let's
go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I thought he was giving the golden ticket Tammy and Montana,
but apparently not. Let's go to Minnesota, hollering James, It says,
cashing a golden ticket. Hello, hollering James.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Then then how you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
If I was any better, I'd be at Donald, but
not Sam Darnald.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
He stunk it up in the second half.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Well, statistically, did not suck it up in the second half.
But the object of the game is to score points
and to score more points than the other team. And
while Minnesota only lost by two points, Donald could have
been better. How about that?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
It was just not enough fun.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You can't settle for field goals. You cannot settle for
a field goal. You gotta get throw some touchdowns in
there at the end.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Maybe they missed Stefan Diggs. Maybe we need a big
mouth on the team.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He's been gone for ten years. What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Come on, he's been gone for ten years. I've been
with Tammy and she's been gone for a while now
and I.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Miss her, all right. If, by the way, those of
you betting that is one minute and four seconds into
the call, the first Tammy in Montana reference one minute
and four seconds into the call.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
You aren't tightening me, you stinker. You're not supposed to
put me on the clock. Start paying me that You've
never had a job.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
What are you talking about, James? You you would know
how to handle a job.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
If I had a job, I would be a fat,
drinking slob. But not.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Your job is to call this show five nights a week,
and you very rarely missed. Remember that one time that
you got in trouble and they took the phone from
you and you couldn't call, and you were devastating.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
They wanted to beat down my door as well as
he that.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, I remember you.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Remember you?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You like snuck the phone in you got in trouble.
You like it was contraband you snuck the phone, the
main house phone in your room. I remember that.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
No, I had like I want to do some of
Roberto's cuttings and Trump build that wall.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Wow, that was that.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Jeez.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I'm was Trump at the Steeler game? I heard he was?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, it didn't show. I didn't see him. I did.
I was swimming back and forth between the Dodger game
and the I didn't. I don't think they shut him
on TV though.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I was sorry to interrupt your phone call there. It's
such a riveting small call. I don't know how you interrupt.
Have you heard of that place? Cause him l Yeah, yeah, yeah,
have you been there? Yeah? I watched the Steeler game
from there.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh you did?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
I did? And was it worth it? It was really cool.
My friend took me for my birthday.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
But yeah, I've seen it. It's not it's like the
whole It's like being in a Yeah, I would you
describe it for the blind, It's like it's like a
giant theater screen with you know, different angles.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Of the field.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Uh. And they're also up in the right and left
corner is the TV feed, so if you can, you
can watch whatever you want to watch. But uh, they
did have a h a Trump supporter run on the field.
With a sign. So it was so we saw, we
saw everything that was going on in the field, like
the entire time, and it was actually really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, well I saw, well, Trump's trying to win Pennsylvania.
He had I saw Leveon Bell over the weekend, Antonio Brown.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You see what he told the crowd, All, uh yeah, right,
I think we could say that we allowed to say that,
he said. I mean it was on TV. They didn't
bleep it or anything.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Like a bunch of crackers.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Yeah, yeah, about crackers of the day, coveted endorsement.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
To have.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
To say that, I still go back to Jesse Ventura
when he was in here in the studio, actually, when
Steve Harvey worked in this studio and he talked about
politics being just like professional wrestling. And here we are
not that long after that, and we got Hault Cogan convention.
I mean, it's it's ridiculous. All right, thank you, James.
I'm hanging up on you. Let's go to Let's go
(20:51):

part of the boat, under the water.

Well Edwards, Anthony Edwards, mister big talking man. Anthony Edwards
says that he's thinking about going to the NFL if
he wins a championship ring within the next three to
four years. He is eyeing the National Football League. I'm
(25:25):
gonna go out and limb right now and say there
is no chance that he ever plays a game in
the NFL, but it's nice to talk about makes it
all about you. He's a lot like my TV partner
Tom Looney, makes it all about him. So Anthony Edwards said, yeah,
you can't play in the NBA in the NFL at
the same time. And even though NFL contracts are really big,
(25:46):
NBA contracts are much much bigger, much much bigger. Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Let's say
hello to blind emmittt. Hello, blind Emmett, the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Fan, Big Ben, you know, like and Mark, you might
have dumped this one because this is kind of wild.
I don't think the militia deserves to know this because
I'm a Seyorwks fan. But is it bad?
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Now?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I was rooting for the forty nine ers today been
is that bad?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, yeah, you're not seeing clearly blind Emmett. That's probably
the problem, I know.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But I'm like, I just can't see the Chiefs do
this again.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
They're the luck at six and oh team in the
NFL history. Ben, It's absolutely they're.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Going to win the Super Bowl. Just prepare yourself for it.
They're going to win the Championship. The Chiefs will be
in the Super Bowl and they will win yet again.
In fact, in many ways, it's easier this year than
it has been for the Chiefs. If you look around,
Buffalo's not as good. Baltimore is a fraud because Lamar
Jackson doesn't play well in the playoffs. You look around
(26:46):
the AFC, there's no one in their way. There's no
one in their way in there in the AFC.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, I agree. It's just like, and I almost put
out a tweet earlier, just like all mahomes, he's not
doing good this year, but like, the better thoughts go
off to me because yeah, he's gonna throw like nine
picks throughout six to seven League six games. But once
we get to that playoffs, Mahomes are gonna magically throw
for four hundred yards and four touchdowns in a like
absolutely Molly Walk Lamar Jackson. So it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But yeah, and their trade the trade deadline's coming up
in early November. They'll trade for someone who we don't know,
but they'll get signed. Then who knows if that player
will be any good or not, but they'll trade for
They'll add they can't keep what they have now. They
have to they have to get something else in there,
and they will so they'll improve the depth chart and
they'll win, and then people will complain and life will
(27:38):
go on.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, for sure, Ben, But then you know, the Shawn
Watson injury, I mean, if you're cheering for the first
thing that came to my mind. I heard Scott Hansen
shout out to him. He was saying, oh, yeah, Deshaun
Watson's getting you know, his achilles his injury. I'm like, oh, like,
it doesn't look good because you know, the first thing
that came in my mind was what's that? Because like,
(28:01):
look at that. Then, yeah, he's making like two hundred
and fifty mil to be trash or whatever he's making.
But like you're getting paid all that money, you're still
in the league, and he suck like he barely got
any Like what the friends that suspension, he hasn't gone
anything else. I mean, it was a kind of time.
I mean, is it?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Is it karma?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
M And that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Is it karma?
Speaker 8 (28:21):
Because now he just gets to sit on the couch
and play video games and collect that money.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Or he can sit on the massage too.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, they have to think about this, so that pain, though,
Like that can't feel good. I'll think you've ever a
twenty year a KILLI if I know I haven't, but
I don't want to imagine how that feels either, Like
that can't be fun, especially that recovery.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, it doesn't feel good. But at the same time,
never having to worry about paying your mortgage or car
payments or anything like that, and worry about finding money
for food, Like those are things he doesn't have to
worry about.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
So I think in a third string quarterbacks the easiest
job in the NFL. It's part of the easiest drop
of all time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I say, bullpen catcher easiest. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, all right,
thank you go away. All right, there's a blind emu
uh let's say, well, Dan wants to apologize better, get
him on right away, Dan, What are you apologizing for?
Please talk slowly and have a booming voice. Oh, where
is hell?
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Where are you at?
Speaker 8 (29:20):
What?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Ben?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
What?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Not? My dog?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
He wanted to apologize too, But truly, last time I called,
I accused you of I wasn't here if you like
the sucific dogs more or boots when we were talking
about huh last time I called it a little fresh
to you right off the gate when we were talking
about tyree kill when he got uh pulled off the
cop car, and.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I was, I didn't you know come to the question.
Speaker 9 (29:46):
I wanted to make uh calling you for the first time,
So I apologize for my rude karmt too.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And it might happen against Okay, all right, well fine,
apology excepted. That's fine. I don't care, all right, I
gotta thank you. All right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I'll loop over the weekend.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Alvin Kamara responded to a report on x that he
had requested a trade from the Saints.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Kamara called the report a lie ben. Do you think
Kamara is the one lying? No, He would love a trade,
but he doesn't want his name associated with asking for
a trade, even though he wants out of now Why
would you not want out of Newi's if you're Alvin Kamara,
you're trying. I believe his contracts up at the end
of this year. He's trying to get a new contract
and New Orleans is gonna play nothing but meaningless games
(33:37):
the rest of the season. So if you can go,
if you go to a good team and be a
difference maker. Like if you were like somewhere like Buffalo
or something like that, Oh my god, I'd be huge
for Alvin Kamara. So he's upset, but he's an upset.
He doesn't want to be trade. He's just upset. This
his name on it next.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Former NFL linebacker Bart Scott implied a couple of days
ago that Dak Prescott's huge contract extension is the reason
why the Cowboys are having on both offense and defense.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Ben, do you think he's right? No, because whether Dak
got paid or not, they were gonna have these issues.
They didn't improve the roster. Things have gone stale there
in Dallas, and Dak is you know, usually he's fine
during the regular season. But he's not. He's not all
that good a quarterback. He's just not, even though a
lot of dumb people think he is.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Next, So USC had a ninety seven percent chance to
win their game against me to Maryland for USC, Mike Guy. Yeah, Well,
Lincoln Riley decided to attempt a field goal late in
the game instead of going for it on fourth and one.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Field goal got blocked. Children's eventually lost, So the third
loss in a row. Ben, does Riley last the season? Well,
he didn't fire him at LAX like they've done former coaches,
so he survived that. At this point, Yeah, he was
there forever coach. I remember how outsided my friend, who's
a USC booster, was when they got they got this
guy like, oh man, Lincoln Riley, he's forever. But who's
(34:53):
who's out there they can go get now? Other than Lincoln?
You know what I mean, there's nobody really out there
is obviously how.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Do we do?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Kou passes it? That is a way putt on the cord.
Speaker 10 (35:02):
Who wh
Hello and welcome. It's our number too, hour two ready
for you and we bounce around the NFL. What jumps
out to you about the latest loss from Aaron Rogers
and the Jets also thumbs up or thumbs down? Have
(00:22):
the Steelers now solved? There are quarterback problems with Russell
Wilson leading the charge in the burg and also any
insights you'd like to add to Texans wide receivers. To
Fawn Diggs saying that he's never the bigger person after
getting a dust up with the Green Bay Packers pregame
a game Houston would lose. We'll talk about that and
(00:44):
who knows what else here It is our number two.
Davante Adams in the house, but the Jets not ready
to take off. Welcome me. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:01):

baseball is done, we did that last hour. Congratulations Dodgers
and Yankees in the World Series. Dodgers eliminated the Mats.
(01:54):
They were knocked out, and so we'll have the World
Series starting on Friday, La versus New York. The Dodgers
can take ownership, can just move back to Brooklyn because
they will own New York having beaten the Mats and
the Yankees if they win the World Series. But our
lead this hour from football, and we start out in
the burg. That's right the confluence the Manahanga HeLa, the
(02:18):
Allegheny Rivers forming the Ohio River right there in Pittsburgh, PA.
Beautiful bridges, nice skyline there in Pittsburgh. That was the
setup as Davante Adams made as much anticipated dab you
in the cockpit for the j e Ts Suck, Suck, Suck,
as Davonte's Jets taking on Russell Wilson and the team
(02:41):
from Pittsburgh. It was on the Peacock with Chris Collinsworth
and Mike Turrico. And I don't know if you were
watching this or not, maybe you tuned it out. He
was watching the baseball. We were going back and forth
as we were watching both at the same time. It
is our good mits for today. It is our good
myths of the day. So Russell Wilson through for not one,
(03:01):
but two touchdowns. He ran for another, Russell Wilson accounting
for three touchdowns. Pittsburgh steamrolled late in this game, a
resounding exclamation point win thirty seven point fifteen, a beat
down as the Jets were so bad They're gonna be
(03:22):
sent out to the boneyard after that performance. The better
story in the losing locker room, and that is where
we will go. The New York side of things. Let
us discuss the question what jumps out at you after
the latest loss from Aaron Rogers and the Jets. So
(03:43):
I've got Rubberneckers, Mensa and Custer, and we will combine
all of these things together and we will throw our
terrible towel in the air everywhere. Is what we're going
to do so. The first thought I had watching this
game is how Aaron Rodgers has added unscheduled This was unplanned.
(04:06):
He's had a little trip. It appears watching the Jets
offense with Rogers under center, that he has decided to
take an in season darkness retreat. Wowsers. Uh man. That
was another winnable game. And the Jets came out. They
were up fifteen to six early, they had possession of
the ball, a chance to add on to that lead,
(04:26):
and then you make the big mistake and next thing
you know, the Steelers take advantage of it, and the
flag is up for Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh and Rogers
ended up handle him. Now, one of the interceptions was
was tipped and whatnot, but the passes were questionable as
(04:46):
Rogers set Pittsburgh up in business here and then after
the game, Rogers the quote which everyone's breaking down and analyzing.
He said that the team came out flat, that they
didn't have the proper amount of enter He said, I
mean Sunday Night Football on NBC, the only show on TV.
He says, I live for these games, and I just
(05:08):
don't quite understand why the energy was a little bit flat,
so he said. He said also at the beginning of
the game before the game, said it was flat from
the Jets, but actually got off to a decent start
in the game and then everything went to hell after that.
But it's pretty obvious watching Gang Green play here, watching
the Jets in all these primetime games so far this season,
(05:31):
that you and I are rubber neckers. Okay, we're not fans,
we're not observers, we're rubberneckers, and we're watching this slow
motion train wreck of a Jets season and say, well,
it'll be a plane crash, but I think it's more
fun when it's a train wreck. The New York defense,
they vaunted judg defense, Oh my god, they're so good.
(05:52):
The Jets defense allowed the Steelers to score on each
of their final five possessions of this game, so Pittsburgh
scored the games final thirty one points and the Jets
also had a missed field goal in that stretch of time.
As it's Murphy's law, anything that can go wrong is
going wrong at this particular point, at the worst possible
(06:12):
time for the Jets and the last four weeks, Aaron Rodgers,
the Great Savior. I know people in Wisconsin, and Packer
fans was smiling from ear to ear right now enjoying
some shot in freude at the expense of Aaron Rodgers
because the last four weeks Aaron Rodgers five touchdown passes,
six interceptions, a passer rating of seventy seven point one
(06:35):
for the Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. And oh,
by the way, the Jets, I believe, are owned four
in their last four games and are quickly free falling
at this point. Now, the good news is they're in
a division with the Patriots and also the Dolphins, so
because of that, the math still works out in their favor.
(06:56):
Buffalo is the team they have to worry about this
particular point. Now, on the other side, you're gonna go
thumbs up or thumbs down. Have the Steelers now solved
their quarterback conundrum with Russell Wilson and his performance in
this game? So I'm not going thumbs up. I'm not
(07:17):
gonna go thumbs down. I'm gonna go thumb sideways. My
thumb is sideways at this particular point. I'm not convinced.
I am not convinced that Russell Wilson is going to
be able to even play at this level. And it's
not like Russ was perfect in this game. He was not.
I mean, there were some passes that could have been
(07:37):
intercepted and whatnot, but weren't fine, that happens whatever, But
he had three touchdowns and was a big part of
everything in that onslaught that absolute domination at the end
of the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they just
took ownership of the game, and so Russ played well.
(07:58):
I'll give him his due on that, but I'm in
the middle. My thumb's in the middle on that. I
would pump the brakes on the celebratory party because I
know that given enough time, teams will be able to
figure this out and it will not be sustainable. And
a lot of what the Steelers did was a gift
from the Jets, and so I would say the Steelers
(08:20):
are still They're in the eye of the hurricane at
this particular point. That's how I would describe things. Russell
Wilson took off like a rocket in the second half
of this particular game, and for a night, Mike Tomlin
looks like an absolute men's Even though early on in
this game my TV was working properly, they were channing
for Justin Fields his name. There was rhythmic chanting going
(08:42):
on and all that. But Wilson, in order for us
to be convinced he has to do this again, there
has to be a carbon copy of this type of
performance again, because even with the Broncos, as bad as
he was with the Broncos, occasionally he'd have good numbers
and people go, oh, Russell Wilson, there you go, that's
what they got him from Seattle. And then you know,
you have four or five bad games after that, and
(09:03):
that's where we are. I would imagine at some point
Justin Fields will get back out there, either because Russ
won't play well or he'll get hurt. That's the most
likely scenario, but the bar is very low. Pittsburgh got
the twenty eighth passing office. That's why Justin Fields was
benched because they were not a good team at moving
the ball down the field through the air. Despite all
(09:25):
the fanboys and all the ones that had the brown
nose supporting Justin Fields. The reality of the situation, Mike Tomlin, unfortunately,
it's like, well, I live in reality land. I don't
live in social media land, the matrix. I don't all
right now. Final point to Wisconsin we go and Aaron
Rodgers old team there. The green Bay Packers get a
(09:48):
late field goal and knockout Houston in a game where
c J. Stroud did not play all that well. Did
not play all that well in this game, but the
story was what happened pregame. And someone we've talked a
lot about, if you've been with us on this show
over the last couple of years, is back on our
radar again, and that would be Texans wide receiver Stefan Diggs.
(10:10):
Very amusing moment here for Stefan Diggs, who's on the
Looney Tune spectrum there, Stefan, Because a pregame about twenty
minutes before kickoff, Stefan Diggs and Jaiir Alexander had a
verbal exchange. They got into it. Jaieir Alexander's defensive back
(10:31):
for the Packers, so they got into it on the
field on the green Bay sideline. Now, imagine, if you will,
there was one member of the Texans, Stefan Diggs, and
a whole gaggle of Green Bay players. Because it's on
the green Bay sidelines. Stefan Digg's talking about this said,
I'm never the bigger person. This is a quote. I'm
(10:52):
never the bigger person. Regarding the pregame scuffle, he said,
I don't give an f if I'm by myself, he said,
or with a million, I'm never the bigger person. This
is a direct quote from Diggs. I ain't letting s
word go like a ship. Ain't letting that go, Diggs said. Postgame,
(11:17):
he said, they picked it up or whatever, but I
ain't with the football, tough guy, and then he said
the S word. For some reason, we're not allowed to
say the S word. I think it's fine. We're all
adults here, but for some reason we can't say.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
So.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Any insights, any insights you would like to add to
Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs getting into it with multiple
Green Bay players and saying he's never the bigger person.
So I'd like to begin this part of the male
of monologue by pointing out he is accurate. That that
is a solid point of self awareness from Stefan Diggs.
(11:56):
He does not follow the normal football decorum, does not
and Diggs it would appear, also based on what we've
heard from what happened here, that he has a bromance
with American legend General Custer, that famous store we've all
heard growing up in going to school in the US
(12:17):
and all that. I assume they still teach it. Maybe
not these days. The Wolkesters might not like it, but
that's the gold standard for being vastly outnumbered. Little Big Horn.
You had I think the estimate is abound fifteen hundred
to two thousand SUE warriors and General Custer came in
there with about two hundred and fifty US troops and
did not go so well. Did not go so well
(12:39):
there at Little Big Horn. We know how that turned out.
And so Stefan Diggs not only does it not turn
out well for him in that, but then his team
loses on a late field goal. It is the Benntain
but they did cover the spread, so if you're a gambler,
you get screwed on it. It is the Ben Mallers Show.
I'm going to be part You can join us here

You had some some other folks that would do that

is flirting with a future in the NFL. We'll get
to that and we will do it next.

Enjoying the sporting life. Good sports day, Good sports fan day.
I don't know about you, and one guy keeps sending
me messages here when are you talking about the w
NBA Eddie's going to cover that? I did not watch
a second of the w NBA Finals, And I have
no problem with that. That's not content for this show
that we do broadcasts. We don't do narrow cat.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Person not listening to the show, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
That's Eddie'll cover that. Eddie's our news guy. He's the
WU once you gonna go buy your Russell Wilson jersey. There, Eddie,
you're not you're not convinced, Like I'm not convinced that
that's sustainable. But that was nice.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I didn't even think he played that great, to be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, well, yeah, the intersetd how many points did this
Steelers off? Let me let me do a math on this.
Let me see here. Damn they said there'd be no man.
All right, So off mistakes by the Jets, do you
include a missed field goal as a mistake? Turnover on downs,
turn her on downs, turn around downs.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I count?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So this Jets turn the ball over on downs, touchdown,
and off both interceptions they scored touchdowns. So that's twenty
one points off touch off turnovers? Am I correct on that?
I believe I am? And then the missed field goal
he say, all right, well maybe not that doesn't count,
but yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
So I thought he was okay. But do I think like, like,
oh my god, why we we're not playing this guy
the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
No, you think he's gonna go into Arrowhead and beat
the Mahomes Chiefs.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I mean probably not. Mahomes isn't exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Is terrible he is. Yeah, he's been bad, but he
finds a way to win because the other guy sucks
more than him, and that that works out. Well, if
the other guy sucks more than.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You, it's to me it's kind of a plus minus.
I think some people would be like, well, Russell Wilson,
can you know, throw a touch on passing the red zone?
I'm like, oh, well, justin Field runs him in. So
it's like scoring touchdown. They're just doing it in different ways.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
So well, the good news is these Steelers have bad
They have two buys upcoming. They have Giants, the Giants,
and then they have the actual buy. So yeah, you're guaranteed.
You're guaranteed to have a three game winning streak just
by showing up in Pittsburgh. Giants and Steelers. Good luck.
Daniel Daniel Jones was benched. I had I ripped Daniel
(16:23):
Jones about a month ago on the TV show and
some women from Jersey was all upset with me.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
You clearly don't watch the Giants. You said that Daniel
Jones is in jeopardy of being benched, and it took
a couple of weeks. And how did they beat Seattle?
How bad is Seattle that they lost to the Giants
and Daniel Jones? I mean, my god, that's embarrassing. Let's
go to the phones.

Speaker 7 (16:57):
Then then how you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
If I was any better, I'd be at Donald, but
not Sam Darnald.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
He stunk it up in the second half.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Well, statistically, did not suck it up in the second half.
But the object of the game is to score points
and to score more points than the other team. And
while Minnesota only lost by two points, Donald could have
been better. How about that?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
It was just not enough fun.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You can't settle for field goals. You cannot settle for
a field goal. You gotta get throw some touchdowns in
there at the end.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Maybe they missed Stefan Diggs. Maybe we need a big
mouth on the team.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He's been gone for ten years. What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Come on, he's been gone for ten years. I've been
with Tammy and she's been gone for a while now
and I.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Miss her, all right. If, by the way, those of
you betting that is one minute and four seconds into
the call, the first Tammy in Montana reference one minute
and four seconds into the call.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
You aren't tightening me, you stinker. You're not supposed to
put me on the clock. Start paying me that You've
never had a job.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
What are you talking about, James? You you would know
how to handle a job.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
If I had a job, I would be a fat,
drinking slob. But not.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Your job is to call this show five nights a week,
and you very rarely missed. Remember that one time that
you got in trouble and they took the phone from
you and you couldn't call, and you were devastating.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
They wanted to beat down my door as well as
he that.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, I remember you.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Remember you?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You like snuck the phone in you got in trouble.
You like it was contraband you snuck the phone, the
main house phone in your room. I remember that.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
No, I had like I want to do some of
Roberto's cuttings and Trump build that wall.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Wow, that was that.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Jeez.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I'm was Trump at the Steeler game? I heard he was?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, it didn't show. I didn't see him. I did.
I was swimming back and forth between the Dodger game
and the I didn't. I don't think they shut him
on TV though.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I was sorry to interrupt your phone call there. It's
such a riveting small call. I don't know how you interrupt.
Have you heard of that place? Cause him l Yeah, yeah, yeah,
have you been there? Yeah? I watched the Steeler game
from there.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh you did?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
I did? And was it worth it? It was really cool.
My friend took me for my birthday.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
But yeah, I've seen it. It's not it's like the
whole It's like being in a Yeah, I would you
describe it for the blind, It's like it's like a
giant theater screen with you know, different angles.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Of the field.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Uh. And they're also up in the right and left
corner is the TV feed, so if you can, you
can watch whatever you want to watch. But uh, they
did have a h a Trump supporter run on the field.
With a sign. So it was so we saw, we
saw everything that was going on in the field, like
the entire time, and it was actually really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, well I saw, well, Trump's trying to win Pennsylvania.
He had I saw Leveon Bell over the weekend, Antonio Brown.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You see what he told the crowd, All, uh yeah, right,
I think we could say that we allowed to say that,
he said. I mean it was on TV. They didn't
bleep it or anything.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Like a bunch of crackers.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Yeah, yeah, about crackers of the day, coveted endorsement.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
To have.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
To say that, I still go back to Jesse Ventura
when he was in here in the studio, actually, when
Steve Harvey worked in this studio and he talked about
politics being just like professional wrestling. And here we are
not that long after that, and we got Hault Cogan convention.
I mean, it's it's ridiculous. All right, thank you, James.
I'm hanging up on you. Let's go to Let's go

part of the boat, under the water.

Speaker 11 (24:19):
I was down by the Anaheim when the World Series

Speaker 1 (24:25):
This is your faulted.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Funny that the Dodgers, wasn't They were jumping on a
van wagons to the Angels because they was playing the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'm sorry, okay, thank you helming. Appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Okay, my bad.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
When was that twenty oh two? That's a twenty two
year old story, helmet man talking about the Angels and
timeless though timeless, just to content the overnight talk radio
listener needs, right.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
There, be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific,
and we roll.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
On through the overnight later this hour, we will have
Mallard of the third degree. NBA start looking to the NFL.
Well Edwards, Anthony Edwards, mister big talking man. Anthony Edwards
says that he's thinking about going to the NFL if
he wins a championship ring within the next three to
four years. He is eyeing the National Football League. I'm
(25:25):
gonna go out and limb right now and say there
is no chance that he ever plays a game in
the NFL, but it's nice to talk about makes it
all about you. He's a lot like my TV partner
Tom Looney, makes it all about him. So Anthony Edwards said, yeah,
you can't play in the NBA in the NFL at
the same time. And even though NFL contracts are really big,
(25:46):
NBA contracts are much much bigger, much much bigger. Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Let's say
hello to blind emmittt. Hello, blind Emmett, the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Fan, Big Ben, you know, like and Mark, you might
have dumped this one because this is kind of wild.
I don't think the militia deserves to know this because
I'm a Seyorwks fan. But is it bad?
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Now?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I was rooting for the forty nine ers today been
is that bad?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, yeah, you're not seeing clearly blind Emmett. That's probably
the problem, I know.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But I'm like, I just can't see the Chiefs do
this again.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
They're the luck at six and oh team in the
NFL history. Ben, It's absolutely they're.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Going to win the Super Bowl. Just prepare yourself for it.
They're going to win the Championship. The Chiefs will be
in the Super Bowl and they will win yet again.
In fact, in many ways, it's easier this year than
it has been for the Chiefs. If you look around,
Buffalo's not as good. Baltimore is a fraud because Lamar
Jackson doesn't play well in the playoffs. You look around
(26:46):
the AFC, there's no one in their way. There's no
one in their way in there in the AFC.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, I agree. It's just like, and I almost put
out a tweet earlier, just like all mahomes, he's not
doing good this year, but like, the better thoughts go
off to me because yeah, he's gonna throw like nine
picks throughout six to seven League six games. But once
we get to that playoffs, Mahomes are gonna magically throw
for four hundred yards and four touchdowns in a like
absolutely Molly Walk Lamar Jackson. So it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But yeah, and their trade the trade deadline's coming up
in early November. They'll trade for someone who we don't know,
but they'll get signed. Then who knows if that player
will be any good or not, but they'll trade for
They'll add they can't keep what they have now. They
have to they have to get something else in there,
and they will so they'll improve the depth chart and
they'll win, and then people will complain and life will
(27:38):
go on.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, for sure, Ben, But then you know, the Shawn
Watson injury, I mean, if you're cheering for the first
thing that came to my mind. I heard Scott Hansen
shout out to him. He was saying, oh, yeah, Deshaun
Watson's getting you know, his achilles his injury. I'm like, oh, like,
it doesn't look good because you know, the first thing
that came in my mind was what's that? Because like,
(28:01):
look at that. Then, yeah, he's making like two hundred
and fifty mil to be trash or whatever he's making.
But like you're getting paid all that money, you're still
in the league, and he suck like he barely got
any Like what the friends that suspension, he hasn't gone
anything else. I mean, it was a kind of time.
I mean, is it?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Is it karma?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
M And that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Is it karma?
Speaker 8 (28:21):
Because now he just gets to sit on the couch
and play video games and collect that money.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Or he can sit on the massage too.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, they have to think about this, so that pain, though,
Like that can't feel good. I'll think you've ever a
twenty year a KILLI if I know I haven't, but
I don't want to imagine how that feels either, Like
that can't be fun, especially that recovery.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, it doesn't feel good. But at the same time,
never having to worry about paying your mortgage or car
payments or anything like that, and worry about finding money
for food, Like those are things he doesn't have to
worry about.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
So I think in a third string quarterbacks the easiest
job in the NFL. It's part of the easiest drop
of all time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I say, bullpen catcher easiest. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, all right,
thank you go away. All right, there's a blind emu
uh let's say, well, Dan wants to apologize better, get
him on right away, Dan, What are you apologizing for?
Please talk slowly and have a booming voice. Oh, where
is hell?
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Where are you at?
Speaker 8 (29:20):
What?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Ben?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
What?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Not? My dog?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
He wanted to apologize too, But truly, last time I called,
I accused you of I wasn't here if you like
the sucific dogs more or boots when we were talking
about huh last time I called it a little fresh
to you right off the gate when we were talking
about tyree kill when he got uh pulled off the
cop car, and.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I was, I didn't you know come to the question.
Speaker 9 (29:46):
I wanted to make uh calling you for the first time,
So I apologize for my rude karmt too.
Speaker 1 (29:52):

gotta thank you. All right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

that Raider loss, the numbers kept piling up for rookie
tight end Brock bauers Now's forty seven receptions this season
that surpasses Blank for the third most by a player
(31:20):
of first seven career NFL games in history. Only Puka
Tokua and Sakwan Barkley have more. That is the question.
What is the answer? And let's see does anyone know

Eddie McDonald's in Pennsylvania over the weekend. Did he get

have page down? Nicholas Backstrom from Shane in Des Moines.
We've got Ricky the Dragon Steamboat guest by Rob in Vegas.
(32:27):
Who else? Aaron Brockovich aka Chick Brock from Stevie Meatballs

Speaker 1 (32:58):

Speaker 4 (33:01):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I'll loop over the weekend.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Alvin Kamara responded to a report on x that he
had requested a trade from the Saints.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Kamara called the report a lie ben. Do you think
Kamara is the one lying? No, He would love a trade,
but he doesn't want his name associated with asking for
a trade, even though he wants out of now Why
would you not want out of Newi's if you're Alvin Kamara,
you're trying. I believe his contracts up at the end
of this year. He's trying to get a new contract
and New Orleans is gonna play nothing but meaningless games
(33:37):
the rest of the season. So if you can go,
if you go to a good team and be a
difference maker. Like if you were like somewhere like Buffalo
or something like that, Oh my god, I'd be huge
for Alvin Kamara. So he's upset, but he's an upset.
He doesn't want to be trade. He's just upset. This
his name on it next.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Former NFL linebacker Bart Scott implied a couple of days
ago that Dak Prescott's huge contract extension is the reason
why the Cowboys are having on both offense and defense.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Ben, do you think he's right? No, because whether Dak
got paid or not, they were gonna have these issues.
They didn't improve the roster. Things have gone stale there
in Dallas, and Dak is you know, usually he's fine
during the regular season. But he's not. He's not all
that good a quarterback. He's just not, even though a
lot of dumb people think he is.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
Next, So USC had a ninety seven percent chance to
win their game against me to Maryland for USC, Mike Guy. Yeah, Well,
Lincoln Riley decided to attempt a field goal late in
the game instead of going for it on fourth and one.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Field goal got blocked. Children's eventually lost, So the third
loss in a row. Ben, does Riley last the season? Well,
he didn't fire him at LAX like they've done former coaches,
so he survived that. At this point, Yeah, he was
there forever coach. I remember how outsided my friend, who's
a USC booster, was when they got they got this
guy like, oh man, Lincoln Riley, he's forever. But who's
(34:53):
who's out there they can go get now? Other than Lincoln?
You know what I mean, there's nobody really out there
is obviously how.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Do we do?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Kou passes it? That is a way putt on the cord.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
