And away we go. It's our number.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Fall knocking at the door, our number four. Mike Rabel
welcomed to the Patriots at the introductory news conference. Your
opening impression of Mike Rabel as Patriot coach. Also Mike
Rabel saying that Drake May was a big selling point
for the patch job. Where you add on this and
Mike Rabel announced he's going to remove entitlement from the Patriots.
(00:28):
What does that mean to you? Will analyze all that
have a wonderful Tuesday, here the fourteenth day of January,
and here it is.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Our number four. The old meet a greed, the old
get together.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We are in the air everywhere, side by side as
we discuss the magic of audio content.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Coast to coast, border to bort and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
On the mast and ponderously powerful microphones of fs are
ammundating live from the breath as in a breath of
fresh air. We are broadcasting live from the tier raq
dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Tyrac dot com will help you get there.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
At unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Tyraq dot Com
the way the tire buying show.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Be.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We know that number ten thousand, very popular, very popular
with the American therapist.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He loves the number ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So our lead this hour from the NFL will circle
back to the wild card game in a little bit,
as it wasn't much of a game, meaning the Minnesota
Vikings the second team, the second team in these playoffs
and wildcard weekend to concede defeat prior to the game
being over right, Pittsburgh Steelers played gutless against Baltimore over
(02:09):
the weekend, and the Minnesota Vikings, while they were down
by a fair amount in the third quarter, they were
seemingly running out the clock.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
There was no sense of urgency.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Sam Donald, he had a seat, VIP seat right in
the front there on the vomit comet. As he played
like you expect Sam Donald to play in a big game.
He's not a good quarterback in big moments. And he
yet again saw ghosts. He saw ghosts, Rams tying a
playoff record with nine sacks. So the La Rams, you
can ram it all day and you can ram it
(02:41):
all night.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The Rams on.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Their way to Philadelphia for a date with the Eagles
in the NFC Divisional Round and if they win that,
they're on to the NFC title game. But our lead
this hour from Foxborough. After dismissing to Rod may hold
the mayo, they said, the Patriots hold the mayo. They
had a whirlwind coaching search which lasted like a week.
(03:06):
It's all over. Now there's a fat woman singing turnout
the last the parties over. New England introduced their new
head coach that was announced over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
If you were not paying attention, possibly not, maybe you
had things to do. I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I understand. I was sleeping when this happened. I went
back on the YouTube and watched it when I woke up.
Very entertaining, unless it was not. But Mike Rabel. Mike
Rabel was officially introduced as the sixteenth head coach of
your Boston Patriots. Well they used to be called the
Boston Patriots, but the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Now New England hoping to have a quick bounce back.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They have been irrelevant for the last couple of years
outside of a Robert Kraft propaganda documentary, so they're trying
to get back to matters. The game's actually mean something.
Late in the year, Patriots have won eight games combined.
The last two years, they're eight and twenty six, back
to back four and thirteen seasons. So let us discuss
(04:07):
the question, opening impression of Mike Rabel, opening impression of
Mike Rabel, and his welcoming news conference as Patriots head coach.
So I've got televangelists, butcher Shop, and atomic elbow, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
(04:31):
are going to make a nice trip to the Senior
Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, which is where Mike Rabel will
likely end up here shortly because that's where most of
the coaches go to hang out and play grab ass
and run up their expense account. So to lead off, though,
to lead off my opening impression of Mike Rabel, he
(04:52):
knows what he's doing. That was my first thought, right,
it looks like he knows what he's doing. There's a
grown up in the room. That's my thought on Mike Vable.
But you understand these things, I've seen so many of
them in my time as a professional gas bag that
they all blend together. It's all a blend here that
(05:12):
these things generally follow the same outline.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
There's a blueprint.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And they're all an equal mix of equal parts news
conference slash pep rally.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You got to excite the base.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Right when you take a couple of steps back, the
new coach rides in like a knight in shining armor
to save a franchise in distress, much like the old
cartoon character Mighty Mouse.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Here I come to save the day.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yes, So, coaches in many ways are like televangelists at
these news conferences where they're preaching the gospel of in
this case, the Patriot Way and good times are ahead, right,
tugging at the heartstrings and talking about what's ahead and
down the line here and how good things are gonna
(06:05):
be romanticizing in this case about the connection to Bill
Belichick and the glory days of the New England Patriots.
You're sharing your vision. You've had it all mapped out
in your head, your vision.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
For how the future is gonna go.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You are going to awaken the dormant beast within and
you're gonna transform the cynical non believer into a believer, right,
the cynical non believer gonna transform them into believers?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Can I get an amen? Can I get an amen?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Furthermore, Mike Mike Rabel.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
He acknowledged, right, Mike Rabel acknowledged that the presence of
Drake May was a contributing factor. That that was, that
was part fact we have that. Let's cut the cut three. Here,
here's Mike Rabel smooching, smooching his quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
My involvement will be as it relates to game management
and situational awareness and where we are on the football
field and trying to develop him as as a leader
of the offense. And when that our quarterback, you know,
when they call the play like you want to say,
like everybody's going to believe it, it's going to score
a touchdown. Like with that type of emphasis on how
(07:21):
everything is going to operate. You know, Drake is going
to be his own person, but I'm going to give
him some things that I feel like are necessary to
help us win football games. We have to be a
very efficient passing.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Football team, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He also went on he praised his athleticism, his arm talent,
the skills set. I mean, he was he had the
knee pads out, you know what I'm saying. All right,
So let's talk about that. Mike Rabel, the new coach there,
saying that Drake May was a big selling point for
the new England Patriots head coaching job. Where are you
at on this one?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
So here's where I am. Slab slop slob, That's where
I am. That was a lot of lobby.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I get it. You're the new coach. You want to
pump up the base again, you want to excite everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You got your forever quarterback, you got Drake May. I
take all of that with a middle pinch, little pinch
of salt. Drake May is not obviously, he's not a
sure thing. There were some signs he's in the embryotic
stage at this particular point.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
There were signs that he could be good.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Think of this like a fork in the road, and
which direction is Drake meganna go. Is he gonna get
better and better, better and better and better better or
is he gonna.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Go down down, down, down, down down down. You don't know. Right.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's good marketing, say farm raised from the Patriots draft
organic and showed flashes of goodness. But it's like going
to a butcher shop and looking at a porterhouse steak
and saying that steak's going to be cooked perfectly, that
porterhouse is going to be amazing, mouthwatering. But you don't
(08:56):
really know until you actually put the thing and you
prepare it and you put in the other and all
that you cook it, you don't know it's an undercooked
Porterhouse steak at this point, Drake May and the reality
is that Mike Rabel would have taken the Patriot job
whether or not Joe Sixpack was the quarterback of the
New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's personal, it's personal.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It also does not hurt that the Patriots, I'm a
salary cap truth. They have a lot of money to burn.
Robert Craft usually doesn't spend that money, but they have
one hundred and thirty million dollars so they can go
on a shopping spree there in New England. The reason
they have that kind of money, the reason the Patriots
have that kind of salary cap space is because they
(09:40):
are devoid of good players. They don't have good play
If you have good players, you don't have a lot
of salary cap plays space because you're paying.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
The good plays. Hello, you're paying the good players.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So they don't have playmakers on defense or offen They
hare like one or two guys on each set the ball.
You need eleven they're not ever gonna have eleven, but
you need to have more than that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Now, last thing.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So there's a lot of talk about the culture. It's
all about the culture. Here's Mike Rabel cut to here's
Mike rabel yapping about the culture for the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
One thing I've realized about culture is that you can
find out what your culture looks like when your family,
your business, or your team is.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That it's low point y.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That's right, when you get hit in the mouth, or
you're down, or the chips are against you. You know,
then you can take a snapshot of what your company
or your team looks like, and then you'll find out
what kind of culture you have.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I remember we had a bad monologue one time and
Lorena was crying in the corner.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
She was so upset with me. She was so very emotional.
So how could you ruin the modelogue?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
You ruined the modelogue.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Just like that? And Kooper loop and he almost punched me.
He was so upset. I screwed up the model and
I went through all right.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So Mike Rabel, he also in this news converse he
announced I thought this part was interesting. He announced that
he's going to remove entitlement, said, I'm going to remove
entitlement from the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So what does that even mean? So here's what it
means to me.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I spent several minutes contemplating this at a malor investigation.
What did Mike Rabel mean when he said I'm gonna
remove entitlement? So to me, this was an atomic elbow
at Gerrod Mayo. Remember the embarrassing moment when Robert Kraft
hired Mayo and he said I don't see color, and
(11:26):
then girod Mayo two seconds.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Later, I see color.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It was very awkward, Right, it was very awkward. But
that had to be a shot at Gerrod Mayo.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Otherwise, the way it sounds in my ear drums I'm
wearing headphones, that you wouldn't have to remove entitlement if
it didn't exist under Gerrod Mayo. And essentially, Rabel is
saying that despite back to back four win seasons for
the New Eland Patriots, the roster has been infested by
(11:57):
a team of spoiled brats that even though they collectively
are a ball of suck, the Patriots, that they still
feel like they're entitled to this, that and the other thing,
and Gerrod Mayo was unable to eradicate that or else.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He added that, I don't know, maybe Belichick had that going.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I have no idea, but either way that he said
this team is kind of straightforward telegraphed that the Patriots
as a whole believe that they are worthy of special privileges,
that they deserve recognition for things that they did not hurt.
And this is in many ways it's a version of
(12:38):
Belichick's do your job mantra, perseverance, get her done, all
that stuff, the maniacal work ethic. So that's where I am,
but verybel You get the vibe he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He's been through this before.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
He's a grown up, well spoken, a leader of men
as you would expect, and so what that leads to
got to have decent players. But he's got the shot.
That's the guy everyone's happy about. He's a no nonsense guy.
He'll call people out in the media, which is great
for the media and great for sports radio and for
the internet, social media and all that stuff. So it's
(13:14):
wonderful from that part of it. All right, is the
Ben Mahler Show. If you would like to comment on
any of that, Mike Frabel, the new coach of the Patriots,
welcomed in and the Patriots needing some playmakers. Is it
true that a thirty one million dollar NFL receiver his name,
(13:36):
his name tossed out as a trade possibility. When we
get to the silly season, the silly season of the NFL.
We'll get to that. We'll take your calls. Also later
this hour, cite the bite, the great sports radio mystery.
Speaker 1 (13:51):

It was an East Coast company. So who do we
need to thank for that? Lorena? I don't remember who

Thank you man, great big Daddy. Let's say hello to Mark.
He's in Boston, but he's a Yankee apologist. Tell oh Mark,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Mark? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:44):
What's happening?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Ben? Good morning. So first of all, just let me
start off by saying the Patriots already screwed up the
twenty twenty five seasons by winning the last game of
the year. Okay, they had control of the draft and
they gave it up. But with that being said, Ben,
I don't think it's gonna matter who the freaking coach is.
If you can't play defense if you can't catch the ball,
(23:05):
and if you can't protect Drake May. What are your
thoughts on that, my friend?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, obviously, I mean, yes, of course, it's all that's
whole obvious stuff. But they're not gonna have the same
crappy roster. They're going to improve the roster. They're gonna
get some guys out of the draft. And unlike you,
I'm not a draft pour so I'm five. They won
the game.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
If you know what you're doing, you can get a
good player at number four. And you know, the draft
is a great, imperfect situation. Like you look at the
guys that are drafted, many of them fail to live
up in excerpation. You can get a guy at number four,
So I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Uh well, if they do that. If they do that,
then I give them three years.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Okay, three years.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
You're a Yankee fan. You're not a Patriots fan, are you?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I'm the the only the only Boston teams I don't
like is the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Well, why why is that? I was like Kevin Kennedy, rude,
do you or something?
Speaker 6 (23:58):
I doubt My dad was born in New York and
he trying to like brainwashed me. So I made a
deal with him. If he became a Bruins fan and
not a Rangers fan, then I would I would move
for the Yankees ever since I was a little kid,
and God rest the soul, Dad, I'm still lot for
the look at that.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
You're honoring your pops. You're honoring the legacy of your pops,
right there. I respect that absolutely. All right, Well, listen,
you're a little confused, but that's fine.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
You make these decisions.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We all make these decisions as kids, right we decide
who we like his children.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
What real quick rumor's true about Derek Jeter actually maybe
possible manager for the Yankees? Is that true?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
No, I don't buy that. He's not you know what.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
I've seen it up social media.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Nah, I'm not buying that.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Although Aaron Boone, if they go belly up again, you know,
as a Yankee fans, he's not long for that. I
say that every year, and it doesn't matter. Brian Cashman's back,
Aaron Boone's back, they just keep the whole whole thing
together no matter what.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Maybe it's time for Brian Cashman replacement.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, it's about time. He's been there since the nineties
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
All right, anyway, thank you, all right, there's a Mark
the Yankee fan, but he likes all the other Boston teams.
He's just not not down with the with the Socks,
the Red Sox. We haven't done a fun fact the
entire night. I think we should. I have a clearinghouse
of fun facts. Fun fact. So the l A Rams.
(25:24):
What happens when you hire a good coach? Patriots fans
hoping that Mike Frabel is a good coach. The Rams
have now won eight playoff games in eight years under
Sean McVay.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
To give you an idea.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Of what that means the Rams that the last thirty
one seasons, that's a generation and a half almost. The
Rams won eight playoff games before Sean McVay got there.
So in eight years they've won eight playoff games with McVey.
The thirty one years prior to that they won a
total of eight eight games. How about you want to
(25:58):
the fun I'll give you another fun fact, malor fun fact.
The Minnesota Vikings are the first fourteen win team in
NFL history to lose in the wild card round.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Congratulations to the Minnesota Vike. I'll give you another fun fact.
How about another one, Ben Maler fun fact?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
The Rams are the only NFL team in the Super
Bowl era to have eighty or more yards worth of
sacks and a fummal return touchdown off of a sack
in the same game, regular or postseason. Are you I'm
not kidding you? No, I am not kidding you want
to know I'll give you another one.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Fun fact the Minnesota Vikings. Congratulations to all our friends
waking up here early in the Twin Cities. You are
at the very top of the bottom. The Minnesota Vikings
are the undisputed leader. They're the biggest losers in playoff history,
thirty two losses after losing the La Rams, and they
(26:57):
were tied with the Dallas Cowboys. But congratulations to the Vikings.
You stand alone in the sewer of the NFL postseason.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Let's go.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
I've got one, Ben, Yes, Coopolo And this one's actually
I noticed it was tweeted out by our boss, Scott Shapiro.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh, the great Minnesota Viking fans got Shapiro.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Yes, yes, he tweeted this out earlier tonight. He said,
it's now been one hundred and twenty four combined seasons
since any of the four major men's pro teams in
Minnesota have reached the championship round.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
You gotta be kidding me. Well, the Wolves did get
to the final four.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
You know a couple of years, I mean only Clippers
fans talked about the fight to the final four.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You know what, I'll give you a no one, give
me a hitted guy, the right headed guy so fleep.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And clearing outs for fun fakes.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
The three point three to three yards per dropback that
the Vikings had in the game against the Rams the
fewest in a playoff game since the Jaguars in twenty
seventeen had three in a.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Win over the Bills. I remember that game.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Jacksonville Buffalo is like Blake Bortles, who is the quarterback
for the Bills. God, it was way before Josh Allen
Ben No. I can see the guy. He's JP Lossman. No, No,
it's a black guy. He's bounced around the on the
Jets and Giants. I know that where they were that, Uh,
(28:23):
what's the guys? It was a backup with the Giants.
I can see him throwing an incomplete pass. All right,
stay with do we have any music for this? Let
me see here, let me see here Tyron Taylor, Yes,
Tyrod Taylor, there is. Tyrod did back up with the
Jets this year, but he was he was the Bill's quarterback.
I'm out like ninety eight percent double check back, Coop,
I'm ninety eight percent sure he's the quarterback or he
was the quarterback back. Then let's say hello to the mode.
(28:47):
Joe Rising is in the Bay Area. Hello Moe Joe Rising.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Break on through to the bed Dollar Show, break on
through to the other side of our militia. We always
listened with pride, always taken in stride, and we never
sleep dide. I didn't do a mister big.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
If I was any better, I'd be a Verlander, but
not justin Verlander who joined the higandas in baseball, because
he'll only be there half a year unless he gets
hurt and then he'll go somewhere else.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
Yeah, isn't he like a hundred isn't he like one
hundred years old?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Noah, he's only ninety eight. He's not one hundred. He's
ninety eight. So he's he's a strange check.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
He's still he's probably still pretty decent, but hey, I
just want to say real quickly, that last caller who's
trying to he was trying to be funny with the replacements.
Come on, the Lorraina's they're replaceable. I mean with her
sweet voice and her her you know her, She's just
an awesome person. So I know the guy's trying to
be funny to come on, Lorena is irreplaceable.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, the coop was laughing while well, She's like, they
don't even know you.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
I mean, it's I wanted to say one more quick
thing that the Warriors, the Warriors out here in the
day are They started out so strong, but now they're
just turning into like a dumpster fire man.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, well water seeks us on level and crap seeks
us on level.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Also, so got they got.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, they overachieved at the beginning of the year. They're
a middling the Warriors are. You know, I'm not we
don't talk too much NBA here, but from what I've seen.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The Warriors that's there, They're about where they they should be. Right,
there's somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Probably a playing team, that type of team, and they're
gonna need Steph Curry to go Nutso in a in
a playing game to get into the next round. Yeah
for sure, all right, Mojo, All right, Bud mean the
great Mojo Rising.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Here's a legend.

to win the World Boxing Council Welter White Championship, and
so yesterday one of my old high school buddies, Bob McDonald,
(32:19):

and former Tigers pitchers left left handed pitchers left Kane

Detroit sports show who post died last year. But yeah, anyway,
the Dream Bay Packers won the first Super Bowl of
(32:44):
two Super Bowls thirty five to ten over the Chiefs
January fifteenth, nineteen sixty seven, and thirty three fourteen over
the Raiders January fourteen, nineteen sixty eight. Of course, we
all know about the Jets plan and they're only Super
Bowl in January twelfth, nineteen sixty nine, sixteen seven over
the Colts wrap it up and yeah, okay, so Dominique Wilcomes,
(33:09):

me up. He was one of the first people to
ever call Fox Sports Radio when the network started. And
he does not use a computer. All of that, every
every birthday, he just said, is all in his brain.
He's like reen man when he comes to those type
of things. Let's say hello to Mike the Left Pracon.

Hello Mike the Left, breckcon in Boston.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Good morning man. How are you so I'm going I'm
gonna s switch gears a little bit to not to day,
he said last week they were like the Yankees. They
were spoiled brats, but they actually played tough, didn't they.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
That doesn't change the fact that they are the spoiled brat.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
Yes, yes, but Jeremiah Love he was that touchdown he
did where he was halfway down, that was pretty cool.
And there was the quarterback Lady Leonard. He runs like
farm And anyway.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Playoffs playoffs, playoffs,
And away we go. It's our number.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Fall knocking at the door, our number four. Mike Rabel
welcomed to the Patriots at the introductory news conference. Your
opening impression of Mike Rabel as Patriot coach. Also Mike
Rabel saying that Drake May was a big selling point
for the patch job. Where you add on this and
Mike Rabel announced he's going to remove entitlement from the Patriots.
(00:28):
What does that mean to you? Will analyze all that
have a wonderful Tuesday, here the fourteenth day of January,
and here it is.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Our number four. The old meet a greed, the old
get together.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We are in the air everywhere, side by side as
we discuss the magic of audio content.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Coast to coast, border to bort and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
On the mast and ponderously powerful microphones of fs are
ammundating live from the breath as in a breath of
fresh air. We are broadcasting live from the tier raq
dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Tyrac dot com will help you get there.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
At unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Tyraq dot Com
the way the tire buying show.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Be.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We know that number ten thousand, very popular, very popular
with the American therapist.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He loves the number ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So our lead this hour from the NFL will circle
back to the wild card game in a little bit,
as it wasn't much of a game, meaning the Minnesota
Vikings the second team, the second team in these playoffs
and wildcard weekend to concede defeat prior to the game
being over right, Pittsburgh Steelers played gutless against Baltimore over
(02:09):
the weekend, and the Minnesota Vikings, while they were down
by a fair amount in the third quarter, they were
seemingly running out the clock.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
There was no sense of urgency.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Sam Donald, he had a seat, VIP seat right in
the front there on the vomit comet. As he played
like you expect Sam Donald to play in a big game.
He's not a good quarterback in big moments. And he
yet again saw ghosts. He saw ghosts, Rams tying a
playoff record with nine sacks. So the La Rams, you
can ram it all day and you can ram it
(02:41):
all night.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The Rams on.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Their way to Philadelphia for a date with the Eagles
in the NFC Divisional Round and if they win that,
they're on to the NFC title game. But our lead
this hour from Foxborough. After dismissing to Rod may hold
the mayo, they said, the Patriots hold the mayo. They
had a whirlwind coaching search which lasted like a week.
(03:06):
It's all over. Now there's a fat woman singing turnout
the last the parties over. New England introduced their new
head coach that was announced over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
If you were not paying attention, possibly not, maybe you
had things to do. I get it.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I understand. I was sleeping when this happened. I went
back on the YouTube and watched it when I woke up.
Very entertaining, unless it was not. But Mike Rabel. Mike
Rabel was officially introduced as the sixteenth head coach of
your Boston Patriots. Well they used to be called the
Boston Patriots, but the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Now New England hoping to have a quick bounce back.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They have been irrelevant for the last couple of years
outside of a Robert Kraft propaganda documentary, so they're trying
to get back to matters. The game's actually mean something.
Late in the year, Patriots have won eight games combined.
The last two years, they're eight and twenty six, back
to back four and thirteen seasons. So let us discuss
(04:07):
the question, opening impression of Mike Rabel, opening impression of
Mike Rabel, and his welcoming news conference as Patriots head coach.
So I've got televangelists, butcher Shop, and atomic elbow, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
(04:31):
are going to make a nice trip to the Senior
Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, which is where Mike Rabel will
likely end up here shortly because that's where most of
the coaches go to hang out and play grab ass
and run up their expense account. So to lead off, though,
to lead off my opening impression of Mike Rabel, he
(04:52):
knows what he's doing. That was my first thought, right,
it looks like he knows what he's doing. There's a
grown up in the room. That's my thought on Mike Vable.
But you understand these things, I've seen so many of
them in my time as a professional gas bag that
they all blend together. It's all a blend here that
(05:12):
these things generally follow the same outline.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
There's a blueprint.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And they're all an equal mix of equal parts news
conference slash pep rally.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You got to excite the base.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Right when you take a couple of steps back, the
new coach rides in like a knight in shining armor
to save a franchise in distress, much like the old
cartoon character Mighty Mouse.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Here I come to save the day.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yes, So, coaches in many ways are like televangelists at
these news conferences where they're preaching the gospel of in
this case, the Patriot Way and good times are ahead, right,
tugging at the heartstrings and talking about what's ahead and
down the line here and how good things are gonna
(06:05):
be romanticizing in this case about the connection to Bill
Belichick and the glory days of the New England Patriots.
You're sharing your vision. You've had it all mapped out
in your head, your vision.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
For how the future is gonna go.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You are going to awaken the dormant beast within and
you're gonna transform the cynical non believer into a believer, right,
the cynical non believer gonna transform them into believers?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Can I get an amen? Can I get an amen?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Furthermore, Mike Mike Rabel.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
He acknowledged, right, Mike Rabel acknowledged that the presence of
Drake May was a contributing factor. That that was, that
was part fact we have that. Let's cut the cut three. Here,
here's Mike Rabel smooching, smooching his quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
My involvement will be as it relates to game management
and situational awareness and where we are on the football
field and trying to develop him as as a leader
of the offense. And when that our quarterback, you know,
when they call the play like you want to say,
like everybody's going to believe it, it's going to score
a touchdown. Like with that type of emphasis on how
(07:21):
everything is going to operate. You know, Drake is going
to be his own person, but I'm going to give
him some things that I feel like are necessary to
help us win football games. We have to be a
very efficient passing.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Football team, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He also went on he praised his athleticism, his arm talent,
the skills set. I mean, he was he had the
knee pads out, you know what I'm saying. All right,
So let's talk about that. Mike Rabel, the new coach there,
saying that Drake May was a big selling point for
the new England Patriots head coaching job. Where are you
at on this one?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
So here's where I am. Slab slop slob, That's where
I am. That was a lot of lobby.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I get it. You're the new coach. You want to
pump up the base again, you want to excite everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You got your forever quarterback, you got Drake May. I
take all of that with a middle pinch, little pinch
of salt. Drake May is not obviously, he's not a
sure thing. There were some signs he's in the embryotic
stage at this particular point.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
There were signs that he could be good.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Think of this like a fork in the road, and
which direction is Drake meganna go. Is he gonna get
better and better, better and better and better better or
is he gonna.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Go down down, down, down, down down down. You don't know. Right.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's good marketing, say farm raised from the Patriots draft
organic and showed flashes of goodness. But it's like going
to a butcher shop and looking at a porterhouse steak
and saying that steak's going to be cooked perfectly, that
porterhouse is going to be amazing, mouthwatering. But you don't
(08:56):
really know until you actually put the thing and you
prepare it and you put in the other and all
that you cook it, you don't know it's an undercooked
Porterhouse steak at this point, Drake May and the reality
is that Mike Rabel would have taken the Patriot job
whether or not Joe Sixpack was the quarterback of the
New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's personal, it's personal.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It also does not hurt that the Patriots, I'm a
salary cap truth. They have a lot of money to burn.
Robert Craft usually doesn't spend that money, but they have
one hundred and thirty million dollars so they can go
on a shopping spree there in New England. The reason
they have that kind of money, the reason the Patriots
have that kind of salary cap space is because they
(09:40):
are devoid of good players. They don't have good play
If you have good players, you don't have a lot
of salary cap plays space because you're paying.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
The good plays. Hello, you're paying the good players.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So they don't have playmakers on defense or offen They
hare like one or two guys on each set the ball.
You need eleven they're not ever gonna have eleven, but
you need to have more than that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Now, last thing.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So there's a lot of talk about the culture. It's
all about the culture. Here's Mike Rabel cut to here's
Mike rabel yapping about the culture for the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
One thing I've realized about culture is that you can
find out what your culture looks like when your family,
your business, or your team is.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That it's low point y.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That's right, when you get hit in the mouth, or
you're down, or the chips are against you. You know,
then you can take a snapshot of what your company
or your team looks like, and then you'll find out
what kind of culture you have.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I remember we had a bad monologue one time and
Lorena was crying in the corner.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
She was so upset with me. She was so very emotional.
So how could you ruin the modelogue?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
You ruined the modelogue.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Just like that? And Kooper loop and he almost punched me.
He was so upset. I screwed up the model and
I went through all right.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So Mike Rabel, he also in this news converse he
announced I thought this part was interesting. He announced that
he's going to remove entitlement, said, I'm going to remove
entitlement from the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So what does that even mean? So here's what it
means to me.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I spent several minutes contemplating this at a malor investigation.
What did Mike Rabel mean when he said I'm gonna
remove entitlement? So to me, this was an atomic elbow
at Gerrod Mayo. Remember the embarrassing moment when Robert Kraft
hired Mayo and he said I don't see color, and
(11:26):
then girod Mayo two seconds.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Later, I see color.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It was very awkward, Right, it was very awkward. But
that had to be a shot at Gerrod Mayo.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Otherwise, the way it sounds in my ear drums I'm
wearing headphones, that you wouldn't have to remove entitlement if
it didn't exist under Gerrod Mayo. And essentially, Rabel is
saying that despite back to back four win seasons for
the New Eland Patriots, the roster has been infested by
(11:57):
a team of spoiled brats that even though they collectively
are a ball of suck, the Patriots, that they still
feel like they're entitled to this, that and the other thing,
and Gerrod Mayo was unable to eradicate that or else.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He added that, I don't know, maybe Belichick had that going.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I have no idea, but either way that he said
this team is kind of straightforward telegraphed that the Patriots
as a whole believe that they are worthy of special privileges,
that they deserve recognition for things that they did not hurt.
And this is in many ways it's a version of
(12:38):
Belichick's do your job mantra, perseverance, get her done, all
that stuff, the maniacal work ethic. So that's where I am,
but verybel You get the vibe he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He's been through this before.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
He's a grown up, well spoken, a leader of men
as you would expect, and so what that leads to
got to have decent players. But he's got the shot.
That's the guy everyone's happy about. He's a no nonsense guy.
He'll call people out in the media, which is great
for the media and great for sports radio and for
the internet, social media and all that stuff. So it's
(13:14):
wonderful from that part of it. All right, is the
Ben Mahler Show. If you would like to comment on
any of that, Mike Frabel, the new coach of the Patriots,
welcomed in and the Patriots needing some playmakers. Is it
true that a thirty one million dollar NFL receiver his name,
(13:36):
his name tossed out as a trade possibility. When we
get to the silly season, the silly season of the NFL.
We'll get to that. We'll take your calls. Also later
this hour, cite the bite, the great sports radio mystery.

It was an East Coast company. So who do we
need to thank for that? Lorena? I don't remember who

It was it was? It was it Parito at the pecans.

Oh yeah, well, thanks Perrito for the pecans. But what

Was the one that was all mauled?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh?

as a giant box. Was that the box without a
name on it?
Speaker 9 (18:26):
A name?

Speaker 1 (20:47):

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I grew up with snuff Aleopagus and Big Bird and
Oscar the Grouch and I was good friends.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I was good friends with Ernie and Bert.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And because we didn't have good stuff on TV as kids,
Big Daddy, we had to watch like Mister Rogers and
c and stuff like that.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I think you and I were actually like born almost
like the same time. I was born in May of
nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I'm a little younger than you, but around the same.
We grew up with the same stuff. So it's a yeah,
all right, thank you, big Daddy. All right, there you go,
Thank you man, great big Daddy. Let's say hello to Mark.
He's in Boston, but he's a Yankee apologist. Tell oh Mark,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Mark? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:44):
What's happening?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Ben? Good morning. So first of all, just let me
start off by saying the Patriots already screwed up the
twenty twenty five seasons by winning the last game of
the year. Okay, they had control of the draft and
they gave it up. But with that being said, Ben,
I don't think it's gonna matter who the freaking coach is.
If you can't play defense if you can't catch the ball,
(23:05):
and if you can't protect Drake May. What are your
thoughts on that, my friend?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, obviously, I mean, yes, of course, it's all that's
whole obvious stuff. But they're not gonna have the same
crappy roster. They're going to improve the roster. They're gonna
get some guys out of the draft. And unlike you,
I'm not a draft pour so I'm five. They won
the game.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
If you know what you're doing, you can get a
good player at number four. And you know, the draft
is a great, imperfect situation. Like you look at the
guys that are drafted, many of them fail to live
up in excerpation. You can get a guy at number four,
So I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Uh well, if they do that. If they do that,
then I give them three years.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Okay, three years.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
You're a Yankee fan. You're not a Patriots fan, are you?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I'm the the only the only Boston teams I don't
like is the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Well, why why is that? I was like Kevin Kennedy, rude,
do you or something?
Speaker 6 (23:58):
I doubt My dad was born in New York and
he trying to like brainwashed me. So I made a
deal with him. If he became a Bruins fan and
not a Rangers fan, then I would I would move
for the Yankees ever since I was a little kid,
and God rest the soul, Dad, I'm still lot for
the look at that.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
You're honoring your pops. You're honoring the legacy of your pops,
right there. I respect that absolutely. All right, Well, listen,
you're a little confused, but that's fine.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
You make these decisions.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We all make these decisions as kids, right we decide
who we like his children.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
What real quick rumor's true about Derek Jeter actually maybe
possible manager for the Yankees? Is that true?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
No, I don't buy that. He's not you know what.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
I've seen it up social media.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Nah, I'm not buying that.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Although Aaron Boone, if they go belly up again, you know,
as a Yankee fans, he's not long for that. I
say that every year, and it doesn't matter. Brian Cashman's back,
Aaron Boone's back, they just keep the whole whole thing
together no matter what.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Maybe it's time for Brian Cashman replacement.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, it's about time. He's been there since the nineties
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
All right, anyway, thank you, all right, there's a Mark
the Yankee fan, but he likes all the other Boston teams.
He's just not not down with the with the Socks,
the Red Sox. We haven't done a fun fact the
entire night. I think we should. I have a clearinghouse
of fun facts. Fun fact. So the l A Rams.
(25:24):
What happens when you hire a good coach? Patriots fans
hoping that Mike Frabel is a good coach. The Rams
have now won eight playoff games in eight years under
Sean McVay.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
To give you an idea.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Of what that means the Rams that the last thirty
one seasons, that's a generation and a half almost. The
Rams won eight playoff games before Sean McVay got there.
So in eight years they've won eight playoff games with McVey.
The thirty one years prior to that they won a
total of eight eight games. How about you want to
(25:58):
the fun I'll give you another fun fact, malor fun fact.
The Minnesota Vikings are the first fourteen win team in
NFL history to lose in the wild card round.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Congratulations to the Minnesota Vike. I'll give you another fun fact.
How about another one, Ben Maler fun fact?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
The Rams are the only NFL team in the Super
Bowl era to have eighty or more yards worth of
sacks and a fummal return touchdown off of a sack
in the same game, regular or postseason. Are you I'm
not kidding you? No, I am not kidding you want
to know I'll give you another one.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Fun fact the Minnesota Vikings. Congratulations to all our friends
waking up here early in the Twin Cities. You are
at the very top of the bottom. The Minnesota Vikings
are the undisputed leader. They're the biggest losers in playoff history,
thirty two losses after losing the La Rams, and they
(26:57):
were tied with the Dallas Cowboys. But congratulations to the Vikings.
You stand alone in the sewer of the NFL postseason.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Let's go.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
I've got one, Ben, Yes, Coopolo And this one's actually
I noticed it was tweeted out by our boss, Scott Shapiro.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh, the great Minnesota Viking fans got Shapiro.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Yes, yes, he tweeted this out earlier tonight. He said,
it's now been one hundred and twenty four combined seasons
since any of the four major men's pro teams in
Minnesota have reached the championship round.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
You gotta be kidding me. Well, the Wolves did get
to the final four.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
You know a couple of years, I mean only Clippers
fans talked about the fight to the final four.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You know what, I'll give you a no one, give
me a hitted guy, the right headed guy so fleep.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And clearing outs for fun fakes.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
The three point three to three yards per dropback that
the Vikings had in the game against the Rams the
fewest in a playoff game since the Jaguars in twenty
seventeen had three in a.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Win over the Bills. I remember that game.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Jacksonville Buffalo is like Blake Bortles, who is the quarterback
for the Bills. God, it was way before Josh Allen
Ben No. I can see the guy. He's JP Lossman. No, No,
it's a black guy. He's bounced around the on the
Jets and Giants. I know that where they were that, Uh,
(28:23):
what's the guys? It was a backup with the Giants.
I can see him throwing an incomplete pass. All right,
stay with do we have any music for this? Let
me see here, let me see here Tyron Taylor, Yes,
Tyrod Taylor, there is. Tyrod did back up with the
Jets this year, but he was he was the Bill's quarterback.
I'm out like ninety eight percent double check back, Coop,
I'm ninety eight percent sure he's the quarterback or he
was the quarterback back. Then let's say hello to the mode.
(28:47):
Joe Rising is in the Bay Area. Hello Moe Joe Rising.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Break on through to the bed Dollar Show, break on
through to the other side of our militia. We always
listened with pride, always taken in stride, and we never
sleep dide. I didn't do a mister big.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
If I was any better, I'd be a Verlander, but
not justin Verlander who joined the higandas in baseball, because
he'll only be there half a year unless he gets
hurt and then he'll go somewhere else.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
Yeah, isn't he like a hundred isn't he like one
hundred years old?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Noah, he's only ninety eight. He's not one hundred. He's
ninety eight. So he's he's a strange check.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
He's still he's probably still pretty decent, but hey, I
just want to say real quickly, that last caller who's
trying to he was trying to be funny with the replacements.
Come on, the Lorraina's they're replaceable. I mean with her
sweet voice and her her you know her, She's just
an awesome person. So I know the guy's trying to
be funny to come on, Lorena is irreplaceable.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, the coop was laughing while well, She's like, they
don't even know you.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
I mean, it's I wanted to say one more quick
thing that the Warriors, the Warriors out here in the
day are They started out so strong, but now they're
just turning into like a dumpster fire man.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, well water seeks us on level and crap seeks
us on level.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Also, so got they got.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, they overachieved at the beginning of the year. They're
a middling the Warriors are. You know, I'm not we
don't talk too much NBA here, but from what I've seen.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The Warriors that's there, They're about where they they should be. Right,
there's somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Probably a playing team, that type of team, and they're
gonna need Steph Curry to go Nutso in a in
a playing game to get into the next round. Yeah
for sure, all right, Mojo, All right, Bud mean the
great Mojo Rising.
Speaker 1 (30:46):

blind blue singer and Jack Jones who was sort of
Tresident Kennedy's favorite singer for years gone by. Her eighty
nine and eighty nine and eighty seven today and old
time Cleveland pitcher Sonny Seabird is eighty eight and forty
(31:57):
six years ago today, Wilfrid Ben became the youngest two
time boxing champion in age twenty when he put a
fifteen round decision overs Palyamina. I remember watching that fight
to win the World Boxing Council Welter White Championship, and
so yesterday one of my old high school buddies, Bob McDonald,
(32:19):

and former Tigers pitchers left left handed pitchers left Kane
and Jim four were seventy seven and seventy six. Yes,

Detroit sports show who post died last year. But yeah, anyway,
the Dream Bay Packers won the first Super Bowl of
(32:44):
two Super Bowls thirty five to ten over the Chiefs
January fifteenth, nineteen sixty seven, and thirty three fourteen over
the Raiders January fourteen, nineteen sixty eight. Of course, we
all know about the Jets plan and they're only Super

the Colts wrap it up and yeah, okay, so Dominique Wilcomes,
