Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, way we go. It's our Numbmber four. Hope you
have a great Monday. Don't forget the fifth hour podcast
available over the weekend. You can hear episodes only available
here in the podcast format with me and Danny g
all weekend long. But here in hour number four, who
gets the biggest chunk of the Broncos? Blame Rocky Mountain
(00:22):
Oysters after Denver goes belly up Broncos not broncoing against
the Buffalo Bills. Also, what happened to Sean Payton's Denver
defense in that particular game? And outside of the Bills
and Broncos, how did you react to the news over
the weekend that Mike Rabel is getting a head coaching job.
(00:43):
He's back in the NFL with the new England Patriots.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number four. Have a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Had no idea that a giant buffalo could surgically take
down something, but it happened. Welco. In the beginning of
(01:09):
another hour of the Ben Mather Show, we are in
the air everywhere. Head on as you can accelerate with
us coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and extravagantly powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live
(01:30):
from the Shake as we shake and bake all night
and in the morning. Here the Graveyard Shift. We're broadcasting live
from the tiract dot com studios tiract dot com. We'll
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in
stalls tyract dot com. The Way tire buying show be
(01:53):
I know, unbroken on Ax a big fan of the
number ten thousand. Before we get started here, this are
a couple things to mention here. We're still dealing here.
We do show from Los Angeles and the fires are
not out. In fact that the winds are supposed to
pick up in the next couple of days here and
so far the tally the Palisades Fire, which is the
(02:17):
biggest in the history of the United States, thirteen percent
contained the Eaton Canyon fire. That's about twenty seven percent overnight.
And to put in perspective, I mean thousands of homes
have been burned and businesses have been lost and whatnot.
But to give me an idea, how many miles we're
talking about. If you combine all the fires over the
last week in the LA area, it works out to
(02:41):
thirty eight six hundred and twenty nine acres in miles.
That's sixty point three miles of land that have been
burned up in the last week. It's been just just crazy.
So our thoughts go out to those affected. Also the
obviously the first responders and the people who worked for
the different city agencies that have been out helping people
try to get back as much as they can on
(03:01):
their feet until things calm down. It's been a crazy time,
so there is that. Also, you're welcome. If you watched
Benny versus the Penny and faded my picks, you're five
and oh this weekend. If you faded my picks five
and oh, you're welcome, Thank you very much. Yes, now,
if you bet on my picks, you're oher and five.
Do you know how harderness to get every game wrong?
(03:21):
And I have a chance to finish out the imperfect
weekend with the Ram Viking game tonight. If the Rams
lose that game and if they go down in flames,
that's oh to six. That's an imperfect perfect weekend of handicapping.
NFL games, But I leave this hour from Western New York.
That was the playground for the Broncos traveling party they
(03:45):
visited to take on the Bills on Wild Card Sunday.
Buffalo a sizable sizeable favorite. Not sure if you watch
this game or not. Josh Allen had three hundred and
eighteen total yards running and passing combined pair of passing touchdowns,
James Cook one hundred and twenty yards rushing and a score,
(04:05):
and the Bills roam past the Broncos thirty one to seven.
The better story is in the losing locker room. So
that is where we were gonna We're gonna begin Denver.
Denver in this game had had to be forcely removed
from the playoff party. They they ever kicked out, They're done.
That's it. So where did it all go wrong? Let
(04:27):
us discuss where did it all go wrong? For the
team from Colorado? The question who gets the biggest chunk
of the Bronco blame Rocky Mountain Oysters, something I know
firsthand from a bet gone bad about the Nuggets and
the Clippers years ago, having tasted those disgusting Rocky Mountain Oysters.
So who gets the biggest chunk of the Bronco version
(04:50):
of the Rocky Mountain blame oysters. So I've got nineteen
nineties banned YouTuber and chopping on a cigar, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to make a punch bowl, is what we're going
to make. So to kick off here, let's start with
(05:12):
bow Knicks. Let's start with bow Knicks. I actually had
confidence that Bo would do well, mainly because the Buffalo
defense is not very good, and it certainly looked good
early in the game. You talk about getting out of
the gates fast. The Broncos came out, they got the
ball firs first drive of the game. Bo Knicks completes
a couple of passes for sixty two yards and a touchdown,
(05:35):
and you've arrived, right, Broncos are in good shape, look good,
ready to go. Okay, you're in the game. You got
the lead, fine, and then it all went to hell.
They all got completely bocked down. Not because of turnovers.
This was not a giveaway situation for Bo Nicks. He
just wasn't good enough. It was like the nineteen nineties
banned Bo Nicks. I don't know, he's probably too young
(05:58):
for this although he's like an old dude. Oh he's
a rookie because he played in college for ten years.
But bow Knicks I must have been a fan of
limp biscuit because he was a limp biscuit out there
the rest of the game. He finished the game ball
with one hundred and forty four yards. But if you
do the male of math, you do the male of math.
You look at the first drive of the game where
(06:19):
he had sixty two yards. For the balance of the
game for the Broncos offense, the final fifty seven minutes
and thirty six seconds, bow Knicks was not on a quarterback.
He was terrible final fifty seven minutes of the game.
He had a sixty five passer rating, averaged four point
one yards per past eighty two yards passing over the
(06:40):
final fifty seven minutes and some change of that game
simply not good enough. And it was not because of
a blizzard. There wasn't some arctic condition, lake effect snow.
There was none of that. The temperatures were actually mild
for a January game, not that bow Knicks would have
gotten a pass anyway. He plays for a cold weather
team that plays outdoors in the Broncos, but he just
sucked at a time you cannot suck. And Denver, you
(07:04):
look at the run game and it was all kind
of They didn't run the ball at all. They only
had seventy nine rushing yards. I think forty three of
those were by bo Nicks, So they were bad all
the way around. But bo Nicks was the quarterback who
had played well at times it certainly looked great in
different games this year, and gotten his confidence going, and
against a substandard Buffalo defense, he was completely tied up
(07:27):
by the Bills. Now, furthermore, on the other side, for
the Broncos defensively, what happened to Sean Payton's much bally
hood Denver defense, what happened in that situation, So they
were also guilty of absenteeism. The Bronco defense, of course,
for a while they kind of hung in there, but
the offense didn't do anything. Josh Allen, with the help
(07:51):
of the Bronco defense, Josh Allen was a YouTuber. He
was the sau squad. He turned the Broncos into a
nice Horsey sauce in this particular game, as Allan averaged
a mind blowing ten and a half yards per pass
ten and a half yards per pass, completed seventy seven
(08:13):
percent of his passes against supposedly a pretty good Bronco defense,
and you mix in the running game with James Cook,
the yin and the yang, the thunder and the lightning,
all of that, it was a seamless performance. Other than
that opening drive by the Broncos where they went down
and scored a touchdown, the Bills put up four hundred
and seventy one yards of offense against the Broncos defense.
(08:36):
The Denver defense was completely bedraggled in all phases. The
secondary did not make a game changing turnover when the
game was in reach, They didn't do any of that.
The defensive line for the Broncos was absolutely gashed. Two
hundred and ten team rushing yards and a touchdown. As
we mentioned rushing for James Cook in this game. The
(08:58):
Broncos defense front, which had bragged about how many sacks
they had gotten and they'd set a team record and
all that, they had two sacks and four quarterback hits
against the Buffalo Bills in the biggest game of their season.
It was not there. And as a result, when you
crunch all of the numbers and put them in the calculator.
(09:20):
The Bills averaged nine point three yards per play. Nine
point three yards per play. It was a disheartening performance
by the Broncos, considering that they had had had some
mojo moments, but no mojo here. They figured to lose.
They were big underdogs. I thought they would show some
more fight. It was really just a soft football performance
(09:43):
by the Broncos there. They did not compete, and that
part's depressing.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You figure, you're not gonna beat the Buffalo Bills, but
at least make the Bills sweat a little bit. The
Bills never really sweat. They never did. The first drive
didn't really count for much because there's so much time left,
and then there was never a sense that the Broncos
were going to work their way back into the game.
You never got that vibe.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Now, last thing, we move away, awayway away away. We
move away from the NFL postseason and some coaching news
over the weekend. A domino has fallen, a puzzle piece
has been placed into the jigsaw puzzle. If you did
not hear, what is your reaction to the coaching higher
(10:26):
over the weekend? How do you react to Mike Vrabel
going home again. Patriot Hall of famer has been hired
as a new head football coach of the new England
football team. My reaction, why awn, A nice hearty yawn.
Not that I think it's a bad move. I don't
think it's a bad move. It's just been telegraphed since
(10:49):
the regular season ended. The Patriots, who had already planned
to fire Girodmeo before they won their final game against
the Beast Squad for the Buffalo Bills. He was given
the boot. Robert Kraft did some sham interviews and hired
the guy that he wanted more evidence. The Rooney rule
is ridiculous and stupid and shouldn't be in the NFL.
You hire who you want to hire. NFL teams do
(11:10):
that anyway. They just give the illusion that they're paying
attention to the to the Rooney rule, which is rather absurd.
But Robert Craft, I imagine in the cartoon bubble in
my head, Robert Kraft in his eighties there chomping on
a cigar. When the news came out that Mike Rabel,
the former Patriot player, will now return as the Patriot
(11:31):
head coach, and Craft's chopping on the cigar, and he's
acting like Colonel John Hannibal Smith from the Iconic A Team,
saying there's a plan in everything, and I love it
when a plan comes together, because that was the plan.
The Patriots taking a bit of a victory lap with
this win Toast of the NFL for da odd announcement.
(11:52):
I thought they would have waited until Tuesday, so there's
nothing else going on, But they made the announcement on
the news, came out on Sunday, and Toast of the
NFL right for a day at least in the morning.
All the pregame shows got to talk about that. Universally
lauded the Patriots for the choice to hire Mike Vrabel,
celebrating that it sure sounds like the perfect arranged marriage
(12:16):
for the Patriots. But I'm gonna give the Patriots a
B plus on the malad report card for Mike Rabel.
I give him and the Patriots a B plus because
the problem as good a coaches, I think Vrabel's fine.
He got to a AFC Championship game if I'm not
mistaken with Ryan Tannehill as your quarterback. But he did
play in a division that was a soft division, that
(12:37):
is one of the worst divisions every year in football,
with Houston and Tennessee, which he coached, Jacksonville and Indianapolis.
It is just a more big division, so somebody's gonna
win the division every year. But Tennessee had some good
teams without great players at the quarterback position when Vrabel
was there. Now things got real sour at the end
before he left the Titans. But he's a no nonsense guy.
(13:00):
He's a nicer version of Bill Belichick, who's just a
douche like Mike Rabels. He's hard headed and he's gruff
and all that. He's got an edge to him which
will play well with the bass. But he's not a
complete a hole like Belichick was, so I guess there's
a little more nuanced to his aholeism, but it'll play
(13:21):
well there. And Gerrod Mayo was lacking in all those areas, right.
Mayo was lacking, And he coached a team that was
a soft team. He called them soft, they played soft.
And then we find out the Patriots buried Mayo on
his way out, saying he was playing cards on the team,
playing with his players and all that. And the one caveat,
there's one caveat to the Patriots getting the coach that
(13:43):
they wanted. And it's the immortal words of Oscar Wilde,
the great philosopher of his time, and he's credited with
saying that in this world, in this world, there are
only two tragedies. One is not getting what someone wants,
the other is actually getting what they want.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And so the easy part is hiring Vrabel. The hard
part is actually getting a team that has enough players
to win in a division with Buffalo. Now you doren
a division with the Jets and they blow and the
Dolphins are a soft team in Miami. Right, So you
got that going for you if you're the Patriots. But
the last two years the Patriots have a two thirty
five winning percentage. They are eight and twenty six, eight
(14:25):
and twenty six the last couple of years. That ain't good.
You don't need me to tell you that. It is
the ban at Mal show if you'd like to come
in on any of this. You had the Washington managers,
the beneficiarya of Baker Mayfield's generosity with the fumble there,
and they win. Most games are loss not one. How
about the story involving the Green Bay Packers four turnovers
(14:48):
Jordan loved three interceptions, two of them when the game mattered.
Fumble the opening kickoff gave the game to Philadelphia. Not
a lot of competitive football we did in the Tampa
Bay game that was close and then Baker Mayfield the
you can't do at the time, you can't do it
sucked at a time you cannot suck. But now we
got one wild card game left. It's a neutral syche
game because the Fires in La, the Rams and Cardinals
(15:09):
in Arizona. And that is that. We'll take your calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Also on
X at Ben Mahlor. That is at Ben Mahlor, Let's
make a deal. And is it true that an NFL
superstar is getting special treatment and it was caught on camera.
(15:32):
We'll get to all that and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Bill Miller here reminding you to interact with a live show.
If you're up earlier, been up all night. It is

(16:29):
it's it's Ben. It's bad job by you. Robin vegas
right and says, hey, Ben, next time weed Man calls
in from Florida, please ask him what his pet horse's
name is and why he's cleaning their nose this way. Yeah.
I saw that story Rob over the weekend, and the
guy does kind of look like like weed Man a
(16:50):
little bit. There's a little actually more than a little bit,
although I think that guy's a little taller. Probably a
weed man's pretty thin, so he's not exactly the same.
Tim the Great Tim mcdarby right, since says in NFL history,
there have been three instances of a team having no
turnovers and no punts in a game behind a rookie
starting quarterback, regular or postseason. All three of them by
(17:13):
Jaden Daniels this year Week two, Week three, and then
again on Sunday Night. How about that? There you go?
All right, we'll take some calls. Let's see who else
we have. Alph the Alien Opiner says, maybe your poor
performance on Benny Versus the Penny can be attributed to
a head injury you sustained from all those names Loony
dropped on you this year. I'm sure that you'll be
(17:36):
headed to NBC Sports Boston the Blue Tent right after
the season. I'll be in the concussion protocol. Yeah. A
lot of name dropsy by Loony, and even does it
when we're not on the show, Like he was texting
me random names, and I'm like, you know we're not
on the show. You don't need to text me the names.
(17:56):
I don't care that you know these people. I know
you know them. You don't need to remind me that
I don't only care. Uh, he won't stop. Let's say
hello now to a man who's got buck eye fever,
Dick in Dayton, Hello.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Dick, Hey Ben, how are you?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
If I was any better, I'd be a brown but

There's a lot of injuries that have you know, they'll
slip and fall in that ice. You will not be performed.
You got to get back for the Miamisburg Dolesmorth Society,
right and all those people over there, they eat you
the string vendors.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, well, I don't think there's been much of that
because where Bob was in Cedarville, that were drifts and yeah,
you know it's it's been two or three weeks. They
were calling and let us know because a lot of
people couldn't get out of their driveway.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You know, sure, I understand. Well, as long as you
can have food delivered too, you know, Dick, you can
have the cat food delivery.
Speaker 4 (19:50):

seen and done it all in Ohio sports, what is
your level of conference? The Buck Guys an eight and
a half point favorite over Notre Dame a week from

Speaker 4 (20:19):
College football I think the Buck guys are going to
win that game.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You are all right? Send that out on social media?
Coop Dick and Dayton calling Ohio State eight and a
half point favorite, gonna win that game at the Mercedes
Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Are you going to Atlanta for

Speaker 4 (20:36):
But I've been upset though they haven't put they didn't
put the last game on. No on TV.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
No, it was on TV.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Well. I couldn't get spectrum though, but hopefully I'll watch it.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You just said Ohio State is gonna win. So that's
what he said. Also, I want to point out in
the next couple of days, Alameda Lou reached out to me.
Alameda Lou likes Notre Dame, so we need an Ohio
State fan who wants to go into the verbal octagon again, No,
I do we need?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
He likes no.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
No alam to losing. He's a golden domer, so he likes.
He wants to chance. He wants to challenge an Ohio
State fan. So if we can find somebody who's a
great Ohio State Buckeye fan who wants to step in
dar step into the octagon.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Then I I as h Irish, Irish Irish.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't think that's how you spell irish. I think
you just misspelled the word irish.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Well I'm drunk.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Okay, Well that makes sense. I understand, completely understand. You're
still drunk when the Bills game. The Bills game was

what maybe March or April? You'll get some sunshine?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh? Mons, I want to like thirty we get sunshine?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah? And what did you think? Jay Scoop and just
Josh made a song last week that we played on
the air for Hollering James. There have been songs written
about you in the past. For lexs, how did that
compare the Hollering James song?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Something that I thought Jay was one of my biggest fans.
Up with that, Chase, Come on, Chop, Chop, let's get
to it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Well, are you asking for a song about you? Is
that what you want? Well? How many queen you are
the Yeah, you're the original drag queen. You were the
drag queen on the show before it was cool to
be a drag queen. And now for Lexus question for
how many toes do you have left? Right now? How
many toes do you have? Seven? So the seven toed
(23:22):
drag queen still applies? How many fings? How many fingers?

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Drag queens cool?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That fruit ball?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Okay? Yes, I think you I got go go go
go to the mini bar, drink some more whiskey or
whatever the hell you're drinking. I don't know, I feel
like you want to say something. Coop, do you want
to say something or you don't want to say. I'm
ready to address your monologue. Oh the Bronco monologue? Yes cool?
But what what? What was wrong about the Bronco madg
I'm sure you're going to touch up my work.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Well, I know that you know your whole whole bit
is being this or negative, and you know you're never gonna,
like ever put out any praise during any of your monologues.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's just not what you do. Well, what what what
are the Broncos? What exactly did they do that is
worthy of praise? The season is worthy of praise? No, no, yes, no.
If you're a Broncos fan, you can you can.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
You can be upset about the loss, but you can
only be happy about the season because the they were
not expected like they were. Everybody who's worth anything ranked
them as like the worst or the second worst roster
in the NFL. Vegas had their over under win total
set at five and a half and they made it
to the playoffs. They broke the second longest streak in
the NFL, and they made it to the playoffs. Nobody
(24:51):
expected them to beat the Bills, like you said in
the monologue, Yeah, and what I.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Expected them to compete. I did not expect them to
roll over, and they rolled over. You'd admit that, yes,
I mean, look, I doll come on, you know what
I minute. No, Well, see what you did is you blamed.
You said that bon Knicks isn't good enough. Blah blah blah.
I don't think you can put any of this on Nicks.
Bills don't even have a good defense, and yet they
(25:15):
look like they would look like they're all over the field,
look like they were playing with thirteen players on the field.
The Broncos have zero run game. The run game is
just awful. Uh yeah, but a lot of teams don't
run if they can throw the short passing game and
that's like the running game. You just throw the short
passes and it's like having a running game. Well, he
also did like, that's that's what I want to like
point out.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
The Broncos had like what was like the biggest like
dead cap hit in history.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I get all that, but they were in the playoffs,
they qualified, and they didn't compete. That's my point. That
was what I was upset about, because I took your
Broncos coople up and they made me look.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Like Yes, of course, you're you're upset because you took
you took the Broncos I did.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I thought they would compete. I thought they would show
some fight and show some resolve, and they didn't do
any of that. They came down. Look great, I'm feeling
pretty good, Coop. They're up seven nothing, I'm thinking, all right,
here we go.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
And that was the defense is not good enough. All
season long. They they dominated lesser teams and against the good.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Ones, they did not do great.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
They still have they still they were still good in
red zone, you know, but they can't. So you're saying
it's a smoke and mirrors is what you're saying. That's
what you're sauname. They cannot they cannot stop the run.
Every time James Cook touched the ball, he was seven yards.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So they need to get better.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
They need to get better linebackers, they need to do
better stuff in the run. And you know, it's just
it's gonna get better from here. Things are looking up.
If you're a Denver Broncos fan, Yeah, but I'm not
looking at the retrospective. This is not the documentary on
the season. This is just about what happened on the
wild card game. That's what I'm focused in on.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I'm not sitting here doing a like I don't know
it's that's the word here, the post mortem on the season.
I'm not doing that. I am okay, all right. We
have some great audio I failed to play earlier. I
got to play that, So get that ready, Coop. The
great audio, the viral moment from the the Sunday night game.
A cello to Blind Scott, who's on the North end
of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, Hey.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Ben, Remember my cousin plays football. For noticing.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I know every time I forget, you call up to
remind me who they're in.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
The National gyp ship. They'd beat Penn's date. You know,
the big Catholic fetojosh. Remember Jerry Sandusky? Oh, Ben, you
know what big rulers? No pleasantry like this Dick and Dayton.
He's been calling sports. Hey, what's up, Ben? Yeah, you
don't do that stuff when you call it. Manuel and
Guydina he does.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
That same stuff too, Like, how does this guy.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Think he can call it?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
You're wasting everybody's time, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What I mean, It is a waste of time. Nobody
cares how I'm doing.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
And then yeah, you can't get everybody in. Dude, this
hour has been so depressing.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Man.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
The topic you've been talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What is depressing? What is the I talked about the Patriots,
I talked about the Broncos, and the bill is depressing.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
What I'm just like trying to feel like why I feel?
Speaker 5 (28:03):
So said like I was going.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
To tell you how I'm over this trauma I went
through because although we lost all those people from the
show are like put me in this metal crisis. I'm
feeling better, you know. And then I'm listening to this
It's like, oh my god, the world's coming to an
end here this this Rooney rule thing, like they should
just throw it out the window. I'm listening to the
Steelers game on the on the Steelers radio feed, and
(28:24):
Dan Rooney has his own audio book where he wrote
it all about the Rooney Rule, which is named after him,
which is about the black coach that he has on
his team, which is a really great coach. It's like, Dude,
did stuff never works. If it did work, blind people
would be pleasantent of the United States, the whole white
people of blind people, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
In theory and.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Theory it sounds really good, but nobody ever like rises
up above it, you know what I mean. And it's
not like people aren't getting paid millions of dollars like
this isn't an affirmative action thing or anything, you know
what I mean. I'm just.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
In any business and people are going to hire who
Usually you hire somebody you know, Robert Kraft knew Vrabel,
that's why you wanted to hire him, and and all that, and.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
You get a big mistake too, though Mike Vrabel might
be a huge vicu.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, it's conceivable. Yeah, I mean, it looks too easy.
It probably is. I mean, in theory, it's great because
Rabel knows everybody, he's a Patriot Hall of Famer, he's
had success as an NFL head coach, so all that
stuff's great. But it doesn't mean it's going to be
any good because if they if they come out, you know,
how go you live there, blind Scott. If the Patriots
come out next year and win six games and are
six and eleven, it's not gonna be good enough. People
(29:30):
they still suck.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Well, no, it's better off. Well, it's not good when
they suck this bad. It's wicked bad for sports media.
But the thing about Boston Radio when people don't get this.
The traffic hare is wicked bad. To go twenty minutes,
you're in your car for two hours. So you got
to captain audience there because most of those people use
the radio. But I'm scared for radio in general, Like
we need to promote radio.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yes, we love radio. It's all about live radio, live,
not those tape podcasts. Live radio. I gotta go, thank you,
Blind Scott. We have this great audio. I want to
make sure we play this. This is from Sunday Night Football,
and the head coach of your Tampa Bay Buccaneers had
a viral moment. Now, those in game interviews are typically
(30:16):
completely useless. Every once in a while, one out of
a thousand turns out to be good. One out of
a thousand turns out to be good. We had one
of those moments in the Sunday Night game and it
was actually at halftime. Todd Bowles was asked how to
limit Jaden Daniels, the Washington quarterback, and the rest is history.
(30:36):
Take a listen.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
You gotta get them in long third and longer yard's
You gotta win first down and keep getting out of
the pocket to his left, to our left, his left,
his left.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I mean our left is right. Now, we gotta cut
that down, all right? This is this is imagine in
the old days. I'm old enough to remember when you
needed directions, you'd go to like the gas station, the
service station and say, hey, how do I get to
this place? And then they say, well, you go to
the work on the road. You take the right side
of the fork of the road. You go down, there's
a loopy loop, second off rampant, loop to loop, and
(31:05):
then you're good.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Imagine, Mike, imagine you're you're you're lost somewhere on the road. Right,
you're looking for help, and you find Todd Bowles and
these are the directions he gives.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
You Gotta get him in long third and longer yards.
You gotta win first down and keep getting out of
the pocket. To his left, to his our left and
his left, I mean, our left is right, and we
gotta cut that down.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
So good and sorry, what Oh it's wonderful, Todd. I
love Todd's not a great coach, but I enjoy his interviews.
I think I find him very entertaining. Uh, that's great,
that's and see that's so he didn't mention anyone. Play
it again. I think we can use this out of
context in the future. This is Todd Bowles again. I
don't think he mentioned Jadan Daniel's name. He doesn't mention
who he's playing for, who he's coaching. Take a list.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
You gotta get him in long third and longer yards.
You gotta win first down and keep getting out of
the pocket. To his left, to his our left, his left,
I mean our left is right.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Gotta cut that down. That's great. Marcel in Brooklyn, Hello, Marcell.

the NFL start getting preferential treatment or was he? Video
has gone viral. During the Bills Broncos game, the referee
came over and it looked like he was like apologizing
to Josh Allen. People were upset. He came over all
the way to the Bill's bench during a timeout to
have a conversation with Josh Allen.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
It was following a non call. Josh Allen claimed that
the ref told him to stop yelling about calls, but
it didn't look like that was the conversation. It looked
like and there was a makeup call with the the
Bs touchdown on fourth and one. I used to work
with this guy, Bob pageres oh officials don't do makeup calls.
They don't believe in makeup calls. If they make one mistake,
they're gonna not gonna make two mistakes. Yes, they do

gets the biggest chunk of the Broncos? Blame Rocky Mountain
(00:22):
Oysters after Denver goes belly up Broncos not broncoing against
the Buffalo Bills. Also, what happened to Sean Payton's Denver
defense in that particular game? And outside of the Bills
and Broncos, how did you react to the news over
the weekend that Mike Rabel is getting a head coaching job.
(00:43):
He's back in the NFL with the new England Patriots.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number four. Have a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Had no idea that a giant buffalo could surgically take
down something, but it happened. Welco. In the beginning of
(01:09):
another hour of the Ben Mather Show, we are in
the air everywhere. Head on as you can accelerate with
us coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and extravagantly powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live
(01:30):
from the Shake as we shake and bake all night
and in the morning. Here the Graveyard Shift. We're broadcasting live
from the tiract dot com studios tiract dot com. We'll
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in
stalls tyract dot com. The Way tire buying show be
(01:53):
I know, unbroken on Ax a big fan of the
number ten thousand. Before we get started here, this are
a couple things to mention here. We're still dealing here.
We do show from Los Angeles and the fires are
not out. In fact that the winds are supposed to
pick up in the next couple of days here and
so far the tally the Palisades Fire, which is the
(02:17):
biggest in the history of the United States, thirteen percent
contained the Eaton Canyon fire. That's about twenty seven percent overnight.
And to put in perspective, I mean thousands of homes
have been burned and businesses have been lost and whatnot.
But to give me an idea, how many miles we're
talking about. If you combine all the fires over the
last week in the LA area, it works out to
(02:41):
thirty eight six hundred and twenty nine acres in miles.
That's sixty point three miles of land that have been
burned up in the last week. It's been just just crazy.
So our thoughts go out to those affected. Also the
obviously the first responders and the people who worked for
the different city agencies that have been out helping people
try to get back as much as they can on
(03:01):
their feet until things calm down. It's been a crazy time,
so there is that. Also, you're welcome. If you watched
Benny versus the Penny and faded my picks, you're five
and oh this weekend. If you faded my picks five
and oh, you're welcome, Thank you very much. Yes, now,
if you bet on my picks, you're oher and five.
Do you know how harderness to get every game wrong?
(03:21):
And I have a chance to finish out the imperfect
weekend with the Ram Viking game tonight. If the Rams
lose that game and if they go down in flames,
that's oh to six. That's an imperfect perfect weekend of handicapping.
NFL games, But I leave this hour from Western New York.
That was the playground for the Broncos traveling party they
(03:45):
visited to take on the Bills on Wild Card Sunday.
Buffalo a sizable sizeable favorite. Not sure if you watch
this game or not. Josh Allen had three hundred and
eighteen total yards running and passing combined pair of passing touchdowns,
James Cook one hundred and twenty yards rushing and a score,
(04:05):
and the Bills roam past the Broncos thirty one to seven.
The better story is in the losing locker room. So
that is where we were gonna We're gonna begin Denver.
Denver in this game had had to be forcely removed
from the playoff party. They they ever kicked out, They're done.
That's it. So where did it all go wrong? Let
(04:27):
us discuss where did it all go wrong? For the
team from Colorado? The question who gets the biggest chunk
of the Bronco blame Rocky Mountain Oysters, something I know
firsthand from a bet gone bad about the Nuggets and
the Clippers years ago, having tasted those disgusting Rocky Mountain Oysters.
So who gets the biggest chunk of the Bronco version
(04:50):
of the Rocky Mountain blame oysters. So I've got nineteen
nineties banned YouTuber and chopping on a cigar, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to make a punch bowl, is what we're going
to make. So to kick off here, let's start with
(05:12):
bow Knicks. Let's start with bow Knicks. I actually had
confidence that Bo would do well, mainly because the Buffalo
defense is not very good, and it certainly looked good
early in the game. You talk about getting out of
the gates fast. The Broncos came out, they got the
ball firs first drive of the game. Bo Knicks completes
a couple of passes for sixty two yards and a touchdown,
(05:35):
and you've arrived, right, Broncos are in good shape, look good,
ready to go. Okay, you're in the game. You got
the lead, fine, and then it all went to hell.
They all got completely bocked down. Not because of turnovers.
This was not a giveaway situation for Bo Nicks. He
just wasn't good enough. It was like the nineteen nineties
banned Bo Nicks. I don't know, he's probably too young
(05:58):
for this although he's like an old dude. Oh he's
a rookie because he played in college for ten years.
But bow Knicks I must have been a fan of
limp biscuit because he was a limp biscuit out there
the rest of the game. He finished the game ball
with one hundred and forty four yards. But if you
do the male of math, you do the male of math.
You look at the first drive of the game where
(06:19):
he had sixty two yards. For the balance of the
game for the Broncos offense, the final fifty seven minutes
and thirty six seconds, bow Knicks was not on a quarterback.
He was terrible final fifty seven minutes of the game.
He had a sixty five passer rating, averaged four point
one yards per past eighty two yards passing over the
(06:40):
final fifty seven minutes and some change of that game
simply not good enough. And it was not because of
a blizzard. There wasn't some arctic condition, lake effect snow.
There was none of that. The temperatures were actually mild
for a January game, not that bow Knicks would have
gotten a pass anyway. He plays for a cold weather
team that plays outdoors in the Broncos, but he just
sucked at a time you cannot suck. And Denver, you
(07:04):
look at the run game and it was all kind
of They didn't run the ball at all. They only
had seventy nine rushing yards. I think forty three of
those were by bo Nicks, So they were bad all
the way around. But bo Nicks was the quarterback who
had played well at times it certainly looked great in
different games this year, and gotten his confidence going, and
against a substandard Buffalo defense, he was completely tied up
(07:27):
by the Bills. Now, furthermore, on the other side, for
the Broncos defensively, what happened to Sean Payton's much bally
hood Denver defense, what happened in that situation, So they
were also guilty of absenteeism. The Bronco defense, of course,
for a while they kind of hung in there, but
the offense didn't do anything. Josh Allen, with the help
(07:51):
of the Bronco defense, Josh Allen was a YouTuber. He
was the sau squad. He turned the Broncos into a
nice Horsey sauce in this particular game, as Allan averaged
a mind blowing ten and a half yards per pass
ten and a half yards per pass, completed seventy seven
(08:13):
percent of his passes against supposedly a pretty good Bronco defense,
and you mix in the running game with James Cook,
the yin and the yang, the thunder and the lightning,
all of that, it was a seamless performance. Other than
that opening drive by the Broncos where they went down
and scored a touchdown, the Bills put up four hundred
and seventy one yards of offense against the Broncos defense.
(08:36):
The Denver defense was completely bedraggled in all phases. The
secondary did not make a game changing turnover when the
game was in reach, They didn't do any of that.
The defensive line for the Broncos was absolutely gashed. Two
hundred and ten team rushing yards and a touchdown. As
we mentioned rushing for James Cook in this game. The
(08:58):
Broncos defense front, which had bragged about how many sacks
they had gotten and they'd set a team record and
all that, they had two sacks and four quarterback hits
against the Buffalo Bills in the biggest game of their season.
It was not there. And as a result, when you
crunch all of the numbers and put them in the calculator.
(09:20):
The Bills averaged nine point three yards per play. Nine
point three yards per play. It was a disheartening performance
by the Broncos, considering that they had had had some
mojo moments, but no mojo here. They figured to lose.
They were big underdogs. I thought they would show some
more fight. It was really just a soft football performance
(09:43):
by the Broncos there. They did not compete, and that
part's depressing.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You figure, you're not gonna beat the Buffalo Bills, but
at least make the Bills sweat a little bit. The
Bills never really sweat. They never did. The first drive
didn't really count for much because there's so much time left,
and then there was never a sense that the Broncos
were going to work their way back into the game.
You never got that vibe.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Now, last thing, we move away, awayway away away. We
move away from the NFL postseason and some coaching news
over the weekend. A domino has fallen, a puzzle piece
has been placed into the jigsaw puzzle. If you did
not hear, what is your reaction to the coaching higher
(10:26):
over the weekend? How do you react to Mike Vrabel
going home again. Patriot Hall of famer has been hired
as a new head football coach of the new England
football team. My reaction, why awn, A nice hearty yawn.
Not that I think it's a bad move. I don't
think it's a bad move. It's just been telegraphed since
(10:49):
the regular season ended. The Patriots, who had already planned
to fire Girodmeo before they won their final game against
the Beast Squad for the Buffalo Bills. He was given
the boot. Robert Kraft did some sham interviews and hired
the guy that he wanted more evidence. The Rooney rule
is ridiculous and stupid and shouldn't be in the NFL.
You hire who you want to hire. NFL teams do
(11:10):
that anyway. They just give the illusion that they're paying
attention to the to the Rooney rule, which is rather absurd.
But Robert Craft, I imagine in the cartoon bubble in
my head, Robert Kraft in his eighties there chomping on
a cigar. When the news came out that Mike Rabel,
the former Patriot player, will now return as the Patriot
(11:31):
head coach, and Craft's chopping on the cigar, and he's
acting like Colonel John Hannibal Smith from the Iconic A Team,
saying there's a plan in everything, and I love it
when a plan comes together, because that was the plan.
The Patriots taking a bit of a victory lap with
this win Toast of the NFL for da odd announcement.
(11:52):
I thought they would have waited until Tuesday, so there's
nothing else going on, But they made the announcement on
the news, came out on Sunday, and Toast of the
NFL right for a day at least in the morning.
All the pregame shows got to talk about that. Universally
lauded the Patriots for the choice to hire Mike Vrabel,
celebrating that it sure sounds like the perfect arranged marriage
(12:16):
for the Patriots. But I'm gonna give the Patriots a
B plus on the malad report card for Mike Rabel.
I give him and the Patriots a B plus because
the problem as good a coaches, I think Vrabel's fine.
He got to a AFC Championship game if I'm not
mistaken with Ryan Tannehill as your quarterback. But he did
play in a division that was a soft division, that
(12:37):
is one of the worst divisions every year in football,
with Houston and Tennessee, which he coached, Jacksonville and Indianapolis.
It is just a more big division, so somebody's gonna
win the division every year. But Tennessee had some good
teams without great players at the quarterback position when Vrabel
was there. Now things got real sour at the end
before he left the Titans. But he's a no nonsense guy.
(13:00):
He's a nicer version of Bill Belichick, who's just a
douche like Mike Rabels. He's hard headed and he's gruff
and all that. He's got an edge to him which
will play well with the bass. But he's not a
complete a hole like Belichick was, so I guess there's
a little more nuanced to his aholeism, but it'll play
(13:21):
well there. And Gerrod Mayo was lacking in all those areas, right.
Mayo was lacking, And he coached a team that was
a soft team. He called them soft, they played soft.
And then we find out the Patriots buried Mayo on
his way out, saying he was playing cards on the team,
playing with his players and all that. And the one caveat,
there's one caveat to the Patriots getting the coach that
(13:43):
they wanted. And it's the immortal words of Oscar Wilde,
the great philosopher of his time, and he's credited with
saying that in this world, in this world, there are
only two tragedies. One is not getting what someone wants,
the other is actually getting what they want.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And so the easy part is hiring Vrabel. The hard
part is actually getting a team that has enough players
to win in a division with Buffalo. Now you doren
a division with the Jets and they blow and the
Dolphins are a soft team in Miami. Right, So you
got that going for you if you're the Patriots. But
the last two years the Patriots have a two thirty
five winning percentage. They are eight and twenty six, eight
(14:25):
and twenty six the last couple of years. That ain't good.
You don't need me to tell you that. It is
the ban at Mal show if you'd like to come
in on any of this. You had the Washington managers,
the beneficiarya of Baker Mayfield's generosity with the fumble there,
and they win. Most games are loss not one. How
about the story involving the Green Bay Packers four turnovers
(14:48):
Jordan loved three interceptions, two of them when the game mattered.
Fumble the opening kickoff gave the game to Philadelphia. Not
a lot of competitive football we did in the Tampa
Bay game that was close and then Baker Mayfield the
you can't do at the time, you can't do it
sucked at a time you cannot suck. But now we
got one wild card game left. It's a neutral syche
game because the Fires in La, the Rams and Cardinals
(15:09):
in Arizona. And that is that. We'll take your calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Also on
X at Ben Mahlor. That is at Ben Mahlor, Let's
make a deal. And is it true that an NFL
superstar is getting special treatment and it was caught on camera.
(15:32):
We'll get to all that and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Bill Miller here reminding you to interact with a live show.
If you're up earlier, been up all night. It is
a team effort. You can interact with the live show.
It's an advantage you have the people with at work,
the dreaded day shift cannot enjoy that. You got to
be an early bird or a night owl to interact
with the live show. Your comments can, and we'll be
(16:07):
used against you in the court of sports Radio. Send
them in. Follow Ben at Ben Mallor in the producer's
chair is Justin Cooper uh Bronco fan, Uh Bronco fan.
And Lorraine Ah, the FSR tech queen, and we get
back the show. Yeah, you didn't say my name there, Bill,
(16:29):
it's it's Ben. It's bad job by you. Robin vegas
right and says, hey, Ben, next time weed Man calls
in from Florida, please ask him what his pet horse's
name is and why he's cleaning their nose this way. Yeah.
I saw that story Rob over the weekend, and the
guy does kind of look like like weed Man a
(16:50):
little bit. There's a little actually more than a little bit,
although I think that guy's a little taller. Probably a
weed man's pretty thin, so he's not exactly the same.
Tim the Great Tim mcdarby right, since says in NFL history,
there have been three instances of a team having no
turnovers and no punts in a game behind a rookie
starting quarterback, regular or postseason. All three of them by
(17:13):
Jaden Daniels this year Week two, Week three, and then
again on Sunday Night. How about that? There you go?
All right, we'll take some calls. Let's see who else
we have. Alph the Alien Opiner says, maybe your poor
performance on Benny Versus the Penny can be attributed to
a head injury you sustained from all those names Loony
dropped on you this year. I'm sure that you'll be
(17:36):
headed to NBC Sports Boston the Blue Tent right after
the season. I'll be in the concussion protocol. Yeah. A
lot of name dropsy by Loony, and even does it
when we're not on the show, Like he was texting
me random names, and I'm like, you know we're not
on the show. You don't need to text me the names.
(17:56):
I don't care that you know these people. I know
you know them. You don't need to remind me that
I don't only care. Uh, he won't stop. Let's say
hello now to a man who's got buck eye fever,
Dick in Dayton, Hello.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Dick, Hey Ben, how are you?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
If I was any better, I'd be a brown but
not a Cleveland bron No, no, no, I would be
an Ohio state buck eye though, wow.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
How about that the buck guys. Boy, it's been the
last week down here. Have you heard about the snow
drifts have been pretty bad?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Ben, Yeah, and you stay in it? Do you still
go out? It's a really bad? Well you just stay home.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
You'ven't been to band for we've we've canceled a lot
of things because the roads were drifts. And uh, no,
I get out a little bit just to go, uh
you know, just around to get groceries for the cat,
you know, and see my friend.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
But what's your what's your cat's name?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Chief? Chief?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Chief Chief, like Kansas City chief.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Well yeah, she fly them. Oh okay, but it's been
bad then nobody I said in the driveway.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You know, you gotta be careful man. Now you listen.
You're young at heart, Dick and Dayton, but your body
might be a little older there. So you gotta be careful.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
There's a lot of injuries that have you know, they'll
slip and fall in that ice. You will not be performed.
You got to get back for the Miamisburg Dolesmorth Society,
right and all those people over there, they eat you
the string vendors.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, well, I don't think there's been much of that
because where Bob was in Cedarville, that were drifts and yeah,
you know it's it's been two or three weeks. They
were calling and let us know because a lot of
people couldn't get out of their driveway.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You know, sure, I understand. Well, as long as you
can have food delivered too, you know, Dick, you can
have the cat food delivery.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Go my friend in the nursing home, you know, and
I eat there and then I come home because I
don't do a lot of night driving, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, the road it's you know what, it's up, mice up.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Your car won't start, you.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Know, big, So, how what's your level of conference? As
the historian of Ohio sports, as a man who has
seen and done it all in Ohio sports, what is
your level of conference? The Buck Guys an eight and
a half point favorite over Notre Dame a week from
today the.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
College football I think the Buck guys are going to
win that game.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You are all right? Send that out on social media?
Coop Dick and Dayton calling Ohio State eight and a
half point favorite, gonna win that game at the Mercedes
Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Are you going to Atlanta for
that game? Dick, No, you will not.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
But I've been upset though they haven't put they didn't
put the last game on. No on TV.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
No, it was on TV.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Well. I couldn't get spectrum though, but hopefully I'll watch it.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
All right, Yeah, you got to be able to watch that,
da I mean, you're mister Ohio State. This is it.
They's set up big favorites over Notre Dame and in Atlanta.
It's gonna be a great scene.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
We have a good day, all right, bye, bye by
all right.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
There you go there, give me a little taste of that. Dick.
Say hello to Flexus, part of Bill's Mafia. Hello for
Lexus h Man.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Hello everybody, dickon date. It sounds like a country song,
you know. Darn well, No's gonna win.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You just said Ohio State is gonna win. So that's
what he said. Also, I want to point out in
the next couple of days, Alameda Lou reached out to me.
Alameda Lou likes Notre Dame, so we need an Ohio
State fan who wants to go into the verbal octagon again, No,
I do we need?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
He likes no.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
No alam to losing. He's a golden domer, so he likes.
He wants to chance. He wants to challenge an Ohio
State fan. So if we can find somebody who's a
great Ohio State Buckeye fan who wants to step in
dar step into the octagon.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Then I I as h Irish, Irish Irish.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't think that's how you spell irish. I think
you just misspelled the word irish.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Well I'm drunk.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Okay, Well that makes sense. I understand, completely understand. You're
still drunk when the Bills game. The Bills game was
the first game on Sunday. It's now Monday morning. What's
wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I don't know. I woke up and get it over again.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Oh right, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I'm good?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
How are you today?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's a lovely sunshine of blue water.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh you're the sunshine of my night. What do you
tell you don't get any any sunshine in Buffalo until
what maybe March or April? You'll get some sunshine?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh? Mons, I want to like thirty we get sunshine?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah? And what did you think? Jay Scoop and just
Josh made a song last week that we played on
the air for Hollering James. There have been songs written
about you in the past. For lexs, how did that
compare the Hollering James song?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Something that I thought Jay was one of my biggest fans.
Up with that, Chase, Come on, Chop, Chop, let's get
to it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Well, are you asking for a song about you? Is
that what you want? Well? How many queen you are
the Yeah, you're the original drag queen. You were the
drag queen on the show before it was cool to
be a drag queen. And now for Lexus question for
how many toes do you have left? Right now? How
many toes do you have? Seven? So the seven toed
(23:22):
drag queen still applies? How many fings? How many fingers?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Three?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Three? Three? Things?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
You're?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah? All right? Flexis?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I mean? Come on, hey, that's just some I was
drag queen.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Drag queens cool?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That fruit ball?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Okay? Yes, I think you I got go go go
go to the mini bar, drink some more whiskey or
whatever the hell you're drinking. I don't know, I feel
like you want to say something. Coop, do you want
to say something or you don't want to say. I'm
ready to address your monologue. Oh the Bronco monologue? Yes cool?
But what what? What was wrong about the Bronco madg
I'm sure you're going to touch up my work.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Well, I know that you know your whole whole bit
is being this or negative, and you know you're never gonna,
like ever put out any praise during any of your monologues.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's just not what you do. Well, what what what
are the Broncos? What exactly did they do that is
worthy of praise? The season is worthy of praise? No, no, yes, no.
If you're a Broncos fan, you can you can.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
You can be upset about the loss, but you can
only be happy about the season because the they were
not expected like they were. Everybody who's worth anything ranked
them as like the worst or the second worst roster
in the NFL. Vegas had their over under win total
set at five and a half and they made it
to the playoffs. They broke the second longest streak in
the NFL, and they made it to the playoffs. Nobody
(24:51):
expected them to beat the Bills, like you said in
the monologue, Yeah, and what I.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Expected them to compete. I did not expect them to
roll over, and they rolled over. You'd admit that, yes,
I mean, look, I doll come on, you know what
I minute. No, Well, see what you did is you blamed.
You said that bon Knicks isn't good enough. Blah blah blah.
I don't think you can put any of this on Nicks.
Bills don't even have a good defense, and yet they
(25:15):
look like they would look like they're all over the field,
look like they were playing with thirteen players on the field.
The Broncos have zero run game. The run game is
just awful. Uh yeah, but a lot of teams don't
run if they can throw the short passing game and
that's like the running game. You just throw the short
passes and it's like having a running game. Well, he
also did like, that's that's what I want to like
point out.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
The Broncos had like what was like the biggest like
dead cap hit in history.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I get all that, but they were in the playoffs,
they qualified, and they didn't compete. That's my point. That
was what I was upset about, because I took your
Broncos coople up and they made me look.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Like Yes, of course, you're you're upset because you took
you took the Broncos I did.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I thought they would compete. I thought they would show
some fight and show some resolve, and they didn't do
any of that. They came down. Look great, I'm feeling
pretty good, Coop. They're up seven nothing, I'm thinking, all right,
here we go.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
And that was the defense is not good enough. All
season long. They they dominated lesser teams and against the good.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Ones, they did not do great.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
They still have they still they were still good in
red zone, you know, but they can't. So you're saying
it's a smoke and mirrors is what you're saying. That's
what you're sauname. They cannot they cannot stop the run.
Every time James Cook touched the ball, he was seven yards.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So they need to get better.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
They need to get better linebackers, they need to do
better stuff in the run. And you know, it's just
it's gonna get better from here. Things are looking up.
If you're a Denver Broncos fan, Yeah, but I'm not
looking at the retrospective. This is not the documentary on
the season. This is just about what happened on the
wild card game. That's what I'm focused in on.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I'm not sitting here doing a like I don't know
it's that's the word here, the post mortem on the season.
I'm not doing that. I am okay, all right. We
have some great audio I failed to play earlier. I
got to play that, So get that ready, Coop. The
great audio, the viral moment from the the Sunday night game.
A cello to Blind Scott, who's on the North end
of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, Hey.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Ben, Remember my cousin plays football. For noticing.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I know every time I forget, you call up to
remind me who they're in.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
The National gyp ship. They'd beat Penn's date. You know,
the big Catholic fetojosh. Remember Jerry Sandusky? Oh, Ben, you
know what big rulers? No pleasantry like this Dick and Dayton.
He's been calling sports. Hey, what's up, Ben? Yeah, you
don't do that stuff when you call it. Manuel and
Guydina he does.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
That same stuff too, Like, how does this guy.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Think he can call it?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
You're wasting everybody's time, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What I mean, It is a waste of time. Nobody
cares how I'm doing.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
And then yeah, you can't get everybody in. Dude, this
hour has been so depressing.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Man.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
The topic you've been talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What is depressing? What is the I talked about the Patriots,
I talked about the Broncos, and the bill is depressing.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
What I'm just like trying to feel like why I feel?
Speaker 5 (28:03):
So said like I was going.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
To tell you how I'm over this trauma I went
through because although we lost all those people from the
show are like put me in this metal crisis. I'm
feeling better, you know. And then I'm listening to this
It's like, oh my god, the world's coming to an
end here this this Rooney rule thing, like they should
just throw it out the window. I'm listening to the
Steelers game on the on the Steelers radio feed, and
(28:24):
Dan Rooney has his own audio book where he wrote
it all about the Rooney Rule, which is named after him,
which is about the black coach that he has on
his team, which is a really great coach. It's like, Dude,
did stuff never works. If it did work, blind people
would be pleasantent of the United States, the whole white
people of blind people, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
In theory and.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Theory it sounds really good, but nobody ever like rises
up above it, you know what I mean. And it's
not like people aren't getting paid millions of dollars like
this isn't an affirmative action thing or anything, you know
what I mean. I'm just.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
In any business and people are going to hire who
Usually you hire somebody you know, Robert Kraft knew Vrabel,
that's why you wanted to hire him, and and all that, and.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
You get a big mistake too, though Mike Vrabel might
be a huge vicu.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, it's conceivable. Yeah, I mean, it looks too easy.
It probably is. I mean, in theory, it's great because
Rabel knows everybody, he's a Patriot Hall of Famer, he's
had success as an NFL head coach, so all that
stuff's great. But it doesn't mean it's going to be
any good because if they if they come out, you know,
how go you live there, blind Scott. If the Patriots
come out next year and win six games and are
six and eleven, it's not gonna be good enough. People
(29:30):
they still suck.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Well, no, it's better off. Well, it's not good when
they suck this bad. It's wicked bad for sports media.
But the thing about Boston Radio when people don't get this.
The traffic hare is wicked bad. To go twenty minutes,
you're in your car for two hours. So you got
to captain audience there because most of those people use
the radio. But I'm scared for radio in general, Like
we need to promote radio.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yes, we love radio. It's all about live radio, live,
not those tape podcasts. Live radio. I gotta go, thank you,
Blind Scott. We have this great audio. I want to
make sure we play this. This is from Sunday Night Football,
and the head coach of your Tampa Bay Buccaneers had
a viral moment. Now, those in game interviews are typically
(30:16):
completely useless. Every once in a while, one out of
a thousand turns out to be good. One out of
a thousand turns out to be good. We had one
of those moments in the Sunday Night game and it
was actually at halftime. Todd Bowles was asked how to
limit Jaden Daniels, the Washington quarterback, and the rest is history.
(30:36):
Take a listen.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
You gotta get them in long third and longer yard's
You gotta win first down and keep getting out of
the pocket to his left, to our left, his left,
his left.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I mean our left is right. Now, we gotta cut
that down, all right? This is this is imagine in
the old days. I'm old enough to remember when you
needed directions, you'd go to like the gas station, the
service station and say, hey, how do I get to
this place? And then they say, well, you go to
the work on the road. You take the right side
of the fork of the road. You go down, there's
a loopy loop, second off rampant, loop to loop, and
(31:05):
then you're good.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Imagine, Mike, imagine you're you're you're lost somewhere on the road. Right,
you're looking for help, and you find Todd Bowles and
these are the directions he gives.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
You Gotta get him in long third and longer yards.
You gotta win first down and keep getting out of
the pocket. To his left, to his our left and
his left, I mean, our left is right, and we
gotta cut that down.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
So good and sorry, what Oh it's wonderful, Todd. I
love Todd's not a great coach, but I enjoy his interviews.
I think I find him very entertaining. Uh, that's great,
that's and see that's so he didn't mention anyone. Play
it again. I think we can use this out of
context in the future. This is Todd Bowles again. I
don't think he mentioned Jadan Daniel's name. He doesn't mention
who he's playing for, who he's coaching. Take a list.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
You gotta get him in long third and longer yards.
You gotta win first down and keep getting out of
the pocket. To his left, to his our left, his left,
I mean our left is right.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Gotta cut that down. That's great. Marcel in Brooklyn, Hello, Marcell.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
