Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dumber three. We head to
the land Cleveland to be exact the Battle of Ohio
and it goes to the Bengals, but the story not
about that. Has Deshaun Watson played his last snap with
the Browns, we'll talk about it. Also. Jameis Winston said

(00:20):
Deshaun put his life on the line for the city
and the fans, while Miles Garrett said Brown's fans should
be ashamed after booing to Shawn Watson's achilles injury, saying
he's been a model citizen. Is that how you see it? Also,
after being benched, we'll talk about what happened in New Jersey.
After being benched. What does the future hold for Daniel

(00:40):
Jones with the Giants. We'll go there as well. All
of it's coming your way right now here. It is
our number three. What can Brown do for you? Well?
Come in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show, we are in the erewhere from here till

(01:07):
doomsday and then beyond as we break rocks coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond. On the mast and Brashley powerful
mike raphones of fsre em monating live from the world,
the virtual audio world. People escape too from that dystopian

(01:29):
real world. We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.
Tyrect dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. The nature Boy approves of that number.
Tire rack dot com. That's the burner account, the Nature Boy,

(01:50):
tiraq dot com, the way tire buying, shoeb our lead
this hour from the Battle of Ohio. Now, this is
not a game that I had planned to talk about.
The kind of mapped the show out when I was
thinking about the NFL weekend, I said, well, what are
the stories going to be. One of the good is
that this was not one of them. I'm not narrow

(02:12):
casting for Dick and Dayton, for example, some of the
other guys in Ohio. No, no, it was a broadcasting situation.
There'd be no reason for us to talk about that.
But here we are. Game not very entertaining. Joe Burrow
threw a pair of touchdown passes, and I had a
couple of mistakes as well mixed in there. But the

(02:33):
Bengals improved a three and four on the season. They
beat the Browns twenty one to fourteen the final. But
the better story is in the losing locker room, or
in this case, the injury tent, the injury heard round
the football world. Snap, crackle, pop, goes to the achalles.

(02:53):
That would be one in battle. Quarterback Deshaun Watson carted off,
give me the old golf cart. There they anticipate, they
expect to find out confirmation. It is a popped Achilles tendon,
and that happened in the first half. Watson's leg crumbled.
It was a non contact, non contact play as he

(03:14):
dropped back to past about a minute and a half
to go until halftime, and that is generally speaking, always
an achilles injury. If it's a non contact situation, the
leg just gives out. As he planted. Watson's calf appeared
to quiver before that's it and he dropped to the turf.

(03:34):
Watson his third season with the Browns likely over, and
his career in Ohio. It is being talked about that
this is also over, So I want to start with that.
Then we'll get to the Komodo dragon in the room.
Let us discuss the question has Deshaun Watson played his
final snap in a regular season game for the Browns.

(03:59):
So I've got four star general lifetime membership and John Lennon,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make the Baba Ganoosh is what
we're going to make. We haven't made that in a while,
so we'll make the Baba gans now. First of all,
to answer the question, has Watson played his final game

(04:20):
what should happen? Is yes, But the answer to the
question is he will play again for the brown So
I'm shaking my head. No, he has not played his
final game for the Browns. This is the kind of
goblin that follows you around. You understand what I'm saying.
This is a haunting situation. This is a Poultergeist, the

(04:42):
Deshaun Watson Poultergeist situation. Watson, He's not gonna be playing
for this foreseeable future because if you look at the
timeline for an Achilles injury, generally speaking, it is a
year from injury operation and then you them back and
here we are. If you look at the calendar, here

(05:03):
we're in late October. And so you say, okay, so
a year from now, but that means Watson has to
ramp back up at that point, and who knows if
there's any setbacks. So the Browns are gonna have somebody
else play quarterback now Jameis Winston, although he didn't play
in this game for reasons that we'll get to in
a second, but he did make some news anyway. So

(05:25):
the point is Watson's gonna be out for at least
a year, So for the rest of this year, forget
about it, and the beginning in the first two months
of next year he's also out. But in terms of
the contract, it doesn't change right. Cutting Watson now would
create one hundred and seventy two million dollars in dead money. Now,

(05:48):
I am a salary cap truther. But the reason I'm
a salary cap truther is because most contracts are not
fully guaranteed. In fact, the only one that is fully
guaranteed is to Shaun Watson. So if it's not fully guaranteed,
it's for Gayzy or for Ganzi, depending how to say.
But the point is, with Watson's contract being fully guaranteed,

(06:08):
there's no wig room. That's why it's different than all
other contracts. Now, even if they released him in twenty
twenty five and they said, okay, we're gonna release Watson.
You know how that that post June first date where
you can release players and supposedly save money, that that
would still result in one hundred and eighteen point nine
million dollars charge of dead money. He also has a

(06:31):
no trade flaws say say, okay, well what about if
they wait a little bit. What if they they say
we'll wait another year. Well, he's owned ninety two million
combined in twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six. Watson
must be tough final two years of the contract. But
more importantly, when you go up to a plane thirty
thousand feet in the sky and you look down here.

(06:53):
Despite Watson being a four star general in the vomit comment,
he continues to have the support of Jimmy Haslam, the
Browns owner. Also the GM, Andrew Barry and Chief Nerd
and former baseball executive Paul de Podesta have all endorsed publicly. Anyway, privately,

(07:13):
I'm thinking they're saying something else, But they're trying to
say a face. They're trying to get something. It doesn't
appear it does appear. Rather, they're trying to save the contract.
They're like, well, it's a small sample size. He's been
hurt a lot, but once he gets healthy, man, is
he going to take off? And that boob Kevin Stefanski,
that Dodo, the head coach there who's essentially massaging on

(07:33):
a weekly basis the very delicate ego of Deshaun Watson.
I'm frashured ego for Watson. And so you expect them
to say he's going to be back, and I do
expect he will be back whether he plays again. He
will play at some point, but he's not going to
play for another year. And so the whole thing's foie

(07:55):
you go, fooie's what you do? All right now? Page two.
So Jamis Winston, a bunch of guys had things to
say following this. Here's Jameis Winston commenting, we actually have
a little bit of this. Here's Winston commenting, and he's
always so dramatic. It's like a Shakespearean play when Winston
is addressing topics. But here's him commenting on the fans

(08:17):
of Cleveland celebrating and cheering loudly the demise of one
Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I am very upset with the reaction to a man
that has had the world against him for the past
four years, and he put his body and life on
the line for this city. I know you love this game.
When I first got here, I knew these were some
amazing fans. But Deshaun was treated badly and now he
has to overcome another obstacle.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Wow, Like how I'm crying a little bit? So Watson.
You heard what Winston had to say there about Watson
and that he put his life on the line for
the city. Did then you had Miles Garrett who said
of Browns fans, he said they should be ashamed after

(09:07):
booing Deshaun Watson's injuries, saying he's been a model citizen. Okay,
is that how you see it? And that's just the
tip of the spear. There's plenty of others that we
just chose these two randomly, Jameis Winston and also Miles
Garrett upset with the Browns fans. So is that how

(09:27):
I see it? I mean, how about n plus Oh no,
no way. I understand the mindset. You've got to defend
your teammate and you're part of this fraternal order in
the NFL. I understand that. But spiler alert the fan,
you don't understand where it's like to be a fan.
You're a player. You don't get the fan. You don't
understand the fan. You never will because you're not a

(09:50):
real fan. You're a player, you're an employee. It's different, right,
you're on the stage, you're not in the crowd. Just
like the players like to talk about the man in
the arena, Well, the man in the I has one thing.
But the fanatic who uses the most valuable resource that
we have in life, our time to emotionally invest in

(10:12):
that product, that's a different animal. You don't get it,
You'll never get it. And I don't care how long
you play in the NFL. You're just you're not a
real fan. You know how they make the sausage, and
therefore you're not a real fan. And the idea is
a model citizen. It's a bunch of poppycock. And Miles
Garrett knows it's a bunch of poppycock. Watson has a

(10:33):
lifetime membership on the Nony list. He does. And as
for the customers, the emotional investment is there. And then
you have Jameis Winston. I must have forgotten when that
day that Deshaun Watson jumped on that roadside bomb to say,
put his life on the line for the people of Cleveland.

(10:54):
I must have not been paying attention to that particular day.
I do know that he will be spending a lot
of time with massage therapists, so bad news for them,
getting that happy baby yoga pose and he'll be clapping.
But really, what happened here the fans? Let me explain
the mindset of a fan. Okay, the fan was not
necessarily cheering for Watson's injury. They were celebrating the decision

(11:21):
that had been made for the team to bench Deshaun Watson.
Say what Yeah, anybody but DeShawn was the mindset and
the reason the fans were cheering. Watson should have been
benched weeks ago. This is on Kevin Stefanski. This is
on Cleveland Brown's ownership. If you had done the right

(11:42):
thing and said, I don't care how much we're paying Watson,
this guy is a lost leader. He can't play, We're
gonna bench him. Just do the right thing, then this
would have happened. This is on Kevin Stefanski, the head coach.
This is on the ownership all the way from the
very top of the Cleveland Browns organization right we talked
about him being a four star general on the Vomit

(12:03):
comet Deshaun Watson. But Jimmy Haslam, Andrew Barry, the GM,
owner GM, Kevin Stefanski, chief NERD, Paul debotest, this isn't that.
The reason that happened is because you didn't do the
right thing, and that a guy working as a plumber
knows more about football than you do. And the only
reason you left Watson in there to eventually get hurt

(12:27):
was because you were trying to save face. So that's
on the bronze. So really, what they were doing was
the proper thing, the fans, because these idiots kept sending
Watson out there when he didn't deserve to play. So
that's what happened, and that's it. And even if they were,
Watson's the most booable person in all of sport. Right now,
you can boo him. It's okay, you're allowed to boo

(12:49):
boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo, yeah, boo,
all right, come on, it's like this is some kind
of terrible tragic No, it's not. He's paid, he'll fine,
He'll he'll recover. He'll be all right. It's gonna be
a lot of pain in agony. The Achilles injury is
a very painful injury. But he'll he'll be back at
some point and he'll throw more interceptions and lead the

(13:11):
Browns to ten points in more games. That'll happen, all right. Now,
final thought, we have another quarterback snaffo. We head to
Jersey where Sequon Barkley was the headline. He had one
hundred and seventy six yards big time performs pair of
touchdowns to the Eagles get the sweet taste of victory
and Barkley gets a giant plate of revenge against his

(13:36):
former team. But that's not the story. The quarterback benched
is the story here. With Malik Neighbors out and out
there running around if a Neighbors said he had hit
the mike quad, he ripped his quarterback, Daniel Jones for
not getting him the ball in this game. As he returned,
he said, watch the target tape. That was it. I

(13:58):
was open, Neighbors said of his quarterback. Now, after being benched,
what in this was in the fourth quarter of a blowout?
What does the future hold for Daniel Jones? Keeping up
with the joneses with the Giants. So Daniel Jones is
living a John Lennon tune. He's living with John Lennon

(14:19):
tun Daniel Jones, and that tune is on borrowed time.
Now you say we're all on borrow time. But Daniel Jones,
this was a naked or break it season spider alert spiler.
He sucks, He is pooh, He's terrible. He's the guy
we always thought he was. And so the Giants know it.

(14:40):
They know it, they know he can't play. You look around,
the teammates have changed, the coaches have changed, the offensive
play callers have changed. The one common denominator is Daniel Jones.
Danny Dimes, the dime store quarterback. The guy stinks. There's

(15:02):
no other way to say it. That is Daniel Jones.
And you look at Daniel Jones' career and he's unable
to improvise. He's a one read quarterback. He locks in
on his first target and if they cover that, he
don't know what to do, what to do. He's also
terrible at maneuvering the football. The Giants have changed the

(15:23):
offensive lineman. They've gotten some blue chip offensive lineman, but
a lot of low information fans don't understand that many
of the sacks are a product of the quarterback, not
the offensive lines. You like to blame fat people. You
hate fat people. I get it, But it's usually the
quarterback that's responsible for the sacks. And so they can
change all the offensive linemen they want. It doesn't matter.

(15:43):
He's just hair brained, right, and he's a rabbit in
the headlights. Is Daniel Jones, and he's gonna take Brian
Dable with him. Dable will be out of work, he'll
be fired. He'll be the offensive coordinator for the Patriots
next year somewhere else. And it's Dante's inferno, is what
it is. And Drew Locke, who's also an option. He
played at the end of this game. He's terrible too,

(16:04):
But at some point, based on the numbers, Daniel Jones,
there's some guarantees in his contract for next year. So
remember when Derek Carr got benched at the end of
last season, his last year with the Raiders because they
they were worried and they didn't want to pay out.
So bonus is the same. Thing's gonna happen here where
Vanillovick will be sat down. It is the ben Mahler Show.

(16:26):

That is the malor riddle of the day. What is

in Madison.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
That's actually not a bad guess. I'm gonna go though
with nose nuggets.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
All right. The correct answer, you're incorrect. The correct answers
called boogers. Eddie burgers is how we used No, you
know you did not didn't know boogers is the term buggers. Hey,
he picked his nose and stuck that bugger in his
mouth and it was caught on NBC. He ate a bugger?

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
He ate a snot rocket? Is what he ate right
there on television. Does he not realize that? Uh he's
on camera at all times? Apparently not? I guess not,
but I mean, my god, this seems way too common
to me. Bogers. Yeah, what you had a boger eater?
You still you stop? When you were a child, you didn't,

(20:56):
I didn't even as a child. You might have done it.
You don't remember, well, no like. I mean, I understand
picking them out, fligging them at a sibling, wiping it
on stuff, but then eating it. Well, in some cultures
is a delicacy because it's like a nice salty treat,
you know, because there's a lot of salt in your mucus,
so it's like getting a little kick of salt. It's disgusting.

(21:18):
It could be a performance in many ways. It could
be a performance in asking drug, right you little He'll
hit a salt and there you go. It's really gross. Yeah,
I thought it's great though. That that's that's the highlight
of the game for the Jets eating boogers. Let's go
to legally blind Christopher who's in Carolina, his heart's in
Michigan and all it sounds like I can hear myself back,

(21:38):
So I don't know if that's a good sign or
of bats and maybe you fell asleep. Hello Christopher, I'm here.
I'm here.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
You help.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
You picked me up with trying to compete with helmet man.
I felt like, oh, I'm getting cut off. I just
I'm amazed.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
You should have said you should have said, are we
on the live air? You should have said that.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
I should have that's right. It was a bad call
by me. But mister Maller, this is a bad call
by you. I just can't believe you don't cover the
most important game of the weekend. There were two of them,
but one turned out to be a real dog with
Seattle and San Francisco. But not even giving your heart
and soul to my Detroit Lions, who showed a tremendous defense.

(22:19):
See how many shacks did they have? Or there was
some interceptions to weren't there? Mister Maller, I can't remember
on Friday you're saying to me, geez, I don't see
how this defense is going to work against good teams.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
Seeks like we've.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
Performed pretty well. Now, I'm not saying that we deserve
to win, because they didn't. That game should have been Minnesota, right.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
So without just for the record, I try to put
your pants back on. Just for the record, they gave
up twenty nine points to the Minnesota Vikings. So you
think that's a good defensive performance, You think they played
well defensively vi the Vikings. Okay, it sounds like you do.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
No, no, no, no, I didn't say that. I said
that there. It was a fortunate win. But I'm just saying,
mister Maller, that this was the best game.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
Of the weekend.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
And you know, of course Benny versus the penny might
have been well on my side, it's you know, you
pit the right way. But the bottom of mine, mister
Maller is we have the best division in football and
you haven't spent one second talking about the NFC Central.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
So what do you want is to dedicate the rest
of the show to the NFCC. But I did mention
the Packer Texans game. I did mention that, So that's
last I checked. The Packers are in the division, so
that's a lie.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
Well, I see that it's so important that we focus
on the toilet bowl of the NFL. So I'm impressed,
mister Meller. I mean, thanks so much. I pointed this.
You're always stressing the most important win there out there,
and we started with your Dodgers, which will be twenty
four to seven until.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
No is is gonna be twenty.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Four to seven, No, no, no, it'll be it'll be
some time until twenty twenty six. I know how this goes. Three,
mister Maller, pine is you don't even give the opportunity
to talk about this game. I'm very hurt, mister Mallow.
It continues to prove to me as a fact you
have something against blind people.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
Again.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
I can feel it.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yes, I am anti blind. I do not like the
blind you are. You know, I really hate the hearing impaired.
I cannot stand the hearing impaired. I hate them.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
What did you say?

Speaker 6 (24:21):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 5 (24:22):
What's on my screen?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (24:24):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 7 (24:26):
Very funny.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
It's always good to harass you. I appreciate your time
as always, all right, but you will see how you
pick the lines against some third rate college team this weekend.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, I'm pretty sure they're not going to make the
TV show. Next week they play the Titans. I'm guessing
the producers of the show will not have that in
the in the rundown of featured games. But what do
we know? Who knows? I never know?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
All right?

Speaker 5 (24:48):
Take care of there he.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Goes legally blind, Christopher, where he goes only he knows.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
I've saved the as for last. Somehow we didn't get
to it until now. How is that possible? The w
NBA Championship Liberty ninety seven ninety two and overtime first
ever WNB title for the Liberty as John Quell Jones
won the finals.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
It doesn't sound right to me, but I don't know.
I don't know either. It sounds like that might not
be a n q U E l. I don't know
who that is.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
That's that's your finals of.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
The Lovely Lady, and my apologies to her. I don't
know who she is, but there you go.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
An.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
I bet the ratings for that was amazing. Four people watched,
but there you go. We'll hear how how wonderful it was,
how amazing, amazing, amazing it was. It is the Band
Malas Show. And we will get back to the calls.
Let's say hello to eeny meeny, miney mo. Let's sell
it a weed man hippie who's in Miami. Hello, weed
man Hey. If I was any better, I'd be a dolphin,

(25:58):
but not a Miami Dolphin or in New York met
for that matter. Weed man.

Speaker 6 (26:07):
Hey.

Speaker 7 (26:08):
Ben Stan had how many home runs?

Speaker 8 (26:10):
Like five?

Speaker 6 (26:10):
But he had a home run like every game, No,
he had it.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
He didn't have one every game, but it seemed like
he hit every other game he was hitting home run. Yeah,
he was good.

Speaker 7 (26:20):
Yeah, I think he had five more runs.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I think he's due for He's dude, and I hit
any home runs in the World Series.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
And Aaron Judge, h he hit one in the last
game and I think he hit won a whole game before.
So the two suggers for the Yankees are doing good.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
It's a shame they're gonna lose the Dodgers. But we'll
see what happens.

Speaker 7 (26:43):
Well, let's see. But you know, I remember in eighty
eight it was Mets for the Dodgers and uh the
Dodgers won.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, and Mike Soosha hit a backbreaking home run at
the old Chase Stadium. You're at that game when s
so shit that home run? You were did you leave earlier?
Did you stay at the end of the game?

Speaker 6 (27:04):
Oh? I was there for the whole game. I was
there for every game that series.

Speaker 7 (27:07):
Man, I can't believe how much money it close to
go to these games. Was that's crazy?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, the cheapest ticket to the game one the World
Series is over one thousand dollars in your city.

Speaker 7 (27:18):
How is that?

Speaker 6 (27:19):
It wasn't like that when in the eighties, Well.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
For the time it was expensive. But yeah, it's out
of control now. It's an elitist professional sports for the elites,
that's what they want. And when these World Series they
stick it to the regular working stuff. Roberto in twenty seventeen,
my old Buster bus driver. Now he's doing three years
to pay off the World Series ticket. And the team

(27:44):
was cheating, the a holes were cheating in the World
Series and Baseball didn't know nothing about it.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (27:50):
I mean I went to the games in the in
the eighty eight but you were.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Rich, weed man, you were working that toy store, was
doing well with the balls.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
But it wasn't that much money though.

Speaker 6 (28:03):
It wasn't anywhere near that much money.

Speaker 7 (28:05):
It certainly wasn't close. It wasn't even five draws.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, no, no, well you're talking about inflation. Inflation. Yeah,
it's not commiserate with the prices of everything else. Professional sports.
They made a decision that they want the top one percent.
They don't care about the working person. They want the
top one percent. That's who they want. They can sell
luxury boxes and suites, and you know, the restaurants behind

(28:31):
home play. There was no restaurant behind home played at
Chase stadium back in eighty eight.

Speaker 7 (28:36):
No, but I sat right out right out right on
the first place dugouts.

Speaker 6 (28:42):
I mean, I shot there.

entertainment tonight money, that old e T money.

Speaker 8 (29:31):

have parking. I had to park across the street.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Yeah, speaking about the game and the prices, you could
get in for free mail. All you gotta do is
slash that press. Did you handy?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Oh No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not allowed to be.
The Dodgers don't want me anymore. I'm not from the
Japanese media. They They've kicked a lot of us old
timers out. I'm not kiddy, but I mean they have
so much media from Japan that they and they may
I get it. I mean if I ran the Dodgers,
I do the same thing. Because they know they can
sell they can sell a lot more merchandise in Japan
and all that, so they want that's who.

Speaker 6 (31:21):
They want you. I need to make something. I want
Damn Robins to know that I'm gonna do everything I
can to see that he gets in the Hall of
sam Because the Dodgers have had thirty two marriagers man
in the history. Yeah, thirty two, and he has the highest.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
