But we begin in the Bay Area. We start out
(02:57):
in the Bay Area. Big injury news, Big injury news
in the Bay If you did not here, perhaps not,
perhaps not. Forty nine Ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa
turnout the last the parties over. Yeah, he's gonna miss
the rest of the championship season. Hey going, It's only
(03:19):
week three now, heading into week four and Bosa is out.
He shredded his ACL. It looked like shredded chicken. And
that's it. So this is the second ACL injury for Bosa.
You might remember, probably not because it happened during the pandemic,
but Bosa missed most of the twenty twenty season when
he also tore his left knee to bits. So let
(03:42):
us discuss the question you have a star player get hurt.
The question is are the forty nine ers good enough
defensively sans Joey Bosa that they can pick up the
slack defensively without Bosa. So I've got grand old Opry
sin Can Asshole and Steve Balmer, and we will combine
(04:04):
all of these things together. And for our friend who's
in Florida but as hard as in New Jersey, we're
going to make the Gobba goool. We're gonna make the
Gobba gool. So to kick off here, the forty nine
ers defensive edge rusher Nick Bosa gone down for the
count and all that. You've got Kyle Shanahan who's like, well,
you know, you don't just replace Nick, which is true,
(04:24):
you don't just replace Nick. Everyone has to get better.
Blah blah blah. That's the cliche thing. Everyone's got to
get better. But that's San Francisco defense. Now you look
at the forty nine ers defensively and without Bolsa, their
fool's gold is what they are. You don't just get better,
like Shanahan said, well, everyone's got to get better. Well,
(04:46):
Easier said they've done you. You can't just make up
by a couple of guys playing slightly better the impact
of a force multiplier. Then that's Nick Bosa on the
forty nine ers, and the Niners already had issues going
into the year. So Nick bo is the guy we
thought he was, and he's out twenty twenty two. I
(05:06):
believe defensive player of the year, if I remember correctly,
center of the wagon. He is the center of the
wagon wheel, the whole thing. If you look at the
wagon wheel. They use this a lot in entertainment, and
a buddy of mine is a writer in Hollywood. He said, well,
when you make a show, you have a wagon wheel,
and if you imagine the wagon wheel, right in the
middle is the star of the show, right, star of
(05:28):
the show, and everything else is just the spokes around
the middle. And they can help out the main part
of the show. But the main part is the middle
part of the wagon wheel. So I bring that up.
The whole thing is designed with Nick Bosa. The whole
operation is designed with Nick Bosa in the middle.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
There.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Everything's about game changing plays and the other players just
do your job. Everything else is just a spoke and
that's it. And you take the center out and then
the spokes don't mean much. So what do you have?
So I've got Fred Warner who's not a bad player.
You got Fred Warner who's still pretty good, and a
bunch of jags. Just a guy there, just a guy there,
(06:09):
Just a guy, role players, complimentary pieces, etc. Etc. Et cetera.
They're not the ingredients to a top ten defense for
the forty nine ers. And imagine, if you will, you
live in the grand Old Opry, right, you're maybe you're
just visiting. You're visiting the Grand Old Opry there. And
then Bob Dylan, of all people, a thousand years old,
he'll come out there and strom wagon wheel and get
(06:33):
the place rocking, right, get the place rocking and all
that stuff. And instead, though they decided the last minute,
we're going to cancel the Dylan act. He's old, so
we'll give him the day off. And then the opening
act will be the guy playing a kazoo. Now, not
that you have anything against the kazoo, but you're not
excited about that, right, that's not an opening act. And
so that's pretty much where the forty nine ers find
(06:55):
themselves at this point. It's a kazoo act without Nick Bosa.
You can try to convince you yourself and try to
tell yourself that it's still the same. It's like I
wanted to see something that wasn't a Kazoo show, but
it's not a Kazus Show's everything's gonna be okay, but
it's junk compared to what you came to see. That's
the reality. And so this is one of the things
where the fanboys, we pushed back on the fan boys.
(07:16):
They get it wrong. They'll say, well, you know, look
at the rest of the roster, look at the coaching.
You know, you go through that whole rigamaroar. However, in
this particular business, one key guy does change everything. Now,
there are examples that people bring up. Look, the team
won the Super Bowl. The Eagles are the great example.
For the rest of my life. People are gonna be
(07:38):
saying quarterback gets hurt. Well, I won with Nick Foles. Okay,
that's true. What about the hundreds and hundreds of other
examples of teams that lost their quarterback and didn't do
Diddley squad, couldn't do Didley squat or Didley poo or
whatever you want to say. That's it. And so Nick
Bosa changes the pass. Who actually changes the things that
you have to account for, m double tames, change how
(08:01):
fast the quarterback gets rid of the ball, all of
that stuff, and he is the star that makes the
other guys look better. He elevates the players around him
on defense. Obviously that will not happen you take him out. Now.
I am going to say, despite what looks to be
a pretty ordinary defensive roster, I will be Benny Brightside
for the forty nine ers. So this is good news.
(08:21):
I'm looking out for Alam de Lou and Ernesto in
the Bay and all the rest Eileen in San Francisco.
All are ourp ones that contribute in northern California. Right
who like the forty nine ers? The schedule, hostess schedule,
hostess schedule. You look at it. Outside of the Rams,
they've got nothing the Niners but Twinkies, cupcakes, ding dongs,
(08:47):
and fruit pies. That's who they play. That's it. They've
got Twinkies, cupcakes, ding dongs, and fruit pie. They don't
even play jumbo sized toney bun. They don't even play
jumbo sized Tony Bun, do you understand? So that's it.
They got a bunch of snack cakes on the menu
soft as can be. So what does that mean. That
means you should still be able to rack up wins
(09:09):
even without Nick Bosa. But do not confuse, do not
confuse that with legitimate championship football. That is the fake.
That is the head fake, is what that is. When
you get to January and you have to play legit
teams and you don't have Nick Bosa, and when the
lights go on and Bosa's having a cocktail on the sidelines,
(09:31):
You're done. That's it now. Furthermore, speaking of done, not
all precincts are reporting in is it too soon to
say bye bye to the Jets? We go to Jersey
where the Jets are zero and three on the year.
They have missed the playoffs now for not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven eight.
(09:52):
I can't even count that. I fourteen years in a
row the Jets have not made the plus in a
league that is supposed to have a revolving door. The
way they set it up, it's all a shell game,
and it's all a hustle to the hustle now to
get as many teams into the playoffs as often as
possible with the wild cards and the easier schedule, and
(10:14):
the Jets have managed to go fourteen years. They are
six more years away from going an entire generation without
making the playoffs in a business that tries to get
teams to make the plus fasten it. So they have
this new head coach. You never need to learn the
name of the Jets coach because they're only there temporarily,
so you don't need to learn the name. But his
name is Aaron Glenn, and Aaron Glenn is a defensive
(10:35):
guy who is overseeing a horrific defense. That would be
the New York Jets, who are bad to the bone. Now,
they're not as bad as Baltimore. We saw in the
Monday night game. Baltimore the worst defensive team, absolutely horrific.
So they're not that bad. But you look at some
of the key nerd stats and some of the more
(10:56):
traditional stats for the Jets and say, well, this is
not a good defensive team. One of the key stats
would be defensively obviously, how many points do you give up?
The Jets are currently twenty eighth in the NFL, are
allowing thirty one points per game to begin the year,
the same as the Chicago Bears, which doesn't seem particularly good. Well,
(11:19):
I bring this up. Get to the point, please. So
I bring this up because Aaron Glenn went off on
the media. He's picking fights with the media. So the
question is, what is your reaction to Aaron Glenn calling
out He said the negativity around the Jets media, they're
too negative. He wants happy time, all right. So my
(11:40):
reaction is, it's on brand. It is on brand for
the Jets. Instead of focusing on fixing the product, which
is covered in cockroaches, Aaron Glenn is out there blaming
some dopey sports writer for the New York Post or
the Daily News. You're being too negative. Okay, so let's
do some inventory. What do you say you have to
do inventory? So, okay, buddy, you're zero in three, which
(12:05):
is not great. You've only played three games. You are
the negative thing. You are the negative part of the
story if you are the Jets. You know showed versus
the Buffalo Bills, you took the week off, and then
the first three quarters against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You
also decided, eh, you know, I don't need to play.
(12:25):
You're not exactly winning the battle. You get one chance
to make a good first impression. Of course in Jets
Land that first game against the Steelers, and it's like, wow,
the Jets. They played the Steelers close. Oh baby, hum baby,
the Jets and the Steeler right there, and you're like,
wait a minute, the Jets are that pathetic. The fact
that they lost by two points to the Steelers is
(12:48):
a win in Jetland? Is that how it works? I
don't think so.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
So.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Uh, good luck, And again, you're not gonna win this battle.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
We know that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You know what, every man, woman and child knows it.
You're not gonna win the battle. York media has been
eating coaches alive since Joe Namath was wearing coachs those
fur coats on the sidelines back in the day. And
a lens Owen three is already chirping about the negative
media people, what's wrong with you? That is not a
hill you want to die on. That is not a
(13:17):
hill you want to die on. It's good for talk radio.
You're not Detroit anymore. You're not just the DC, You're
not the defensive coordinator, the head coach.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
And this is.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
A town. It's got the tabloids, the back pages, it's
got all that it's got talk radio, tabloid headlines. You
can whine and complain and belly ache about the negativity.
When you're serving up slop is what you're serving up
straight low. Three straight losses in a row, three straight
losses in a row. And by the way, might I
(13:49):
remind you if you cannot reflect on the negative, if
you cannot learn from the negative, you're never going to improve. Ever,
the whole raw rah go team, here we go.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Ignore the bad stuff. Ignore the bad stuff. Does not fly,
it should not fly, and you get when you do that,
you get a cacophony of booze, a lot of different
variables of boo And it's trying to control the sports
media in New York. It's like trying to stop a
tidal wave with a sand castle. The sand castle could
(14:24):
be really big and look really nice. However, eventually, what's
going to happen. We know when that tidle wave makes contact.
See you later. Back to the ocean, you go, that's it,
that's all. And the sharks smell blood in the water,
and you're the chum in the water. That's it. And
you are what your record says you are, and the
(14:46):
jets are zering three, and I would say going the
wrong direction, not the right direction. Now, last thing to
prime time, we go, we go to prime time. Follow
up to the follow up, follow up to the follow up.
Dion Sanders confirming during a re sent Random podcast that
the reports were accurate that the Baltimore Ravens were gung
(15:07):
ho to draft Shooter Sanders. However, he told them to
go pound SAand Dion Sanders confirming that not only did
his spawn not want to play for the Ravens, he
also added that the Philadelphia Eagles called up and said, hey,
how would you like to play for the reigning Super
Bowl champions, and Shoddher Sandas said, no way, I don't
(15:28):
want to. You get out of my face. I might
have added on to that, but you get the point.
So Deon says Shooter did not think he would have
a realistic chance of becoming a starter wall on the
same team as Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts, and he'd
rather play in Cleveland where he believes he will get
(15:48):
a chance to start. Deon Sanders thinks the kid will
get a chance to start before the end of the year.
So let us discuss the question on this one Deon
Sanders confirming the interne's that chatter that his kid didn't
want to play for the Ravens. Now we can add
on the Eagles. So how does Shardur Sanders rejecting Philadelphia
(16:09):
and Baltimore sound to you? All right, So I'm gonna
go first here it sounds shortsighted. Now, I understand everyone
wants to play and you want to go the easiest path.
Part of being a human being is to find the
fastest path between two points right, and the easiest way
to get a chance to play has always been go
(16:30):
to Cleveland. They're a joke of a franchise, They're a
fraud football team. They're an embarrassment, So you go to
the Cleveland Browns. However, here's the issue. Shadhur Sanders miscalculating.
He needs a new calculator. He miscalculated here. He overvalued
how good he was in the eyes of the NFL.
It's obvious now. We bought into all the hype before
(16:51):
the draft. We spent a lot of valuable talk radio
real estate talking about Shadur Sanders in the draft. But
it's clear, based on what we have seen with our
own eyes and herd with our own ears that he
completely to quote Klay Travis, you spare morning, he outkicked
the coverage is what he did here. Bad job by him.
Totally misjudged the market, totally misjudge the market. This reminds
(17:14):
me you talk about bad analysis. This reminds me of
when the old Microsoft CEO, Steve Balmer, who now owns
the Clippers, he said, in front of a group, a
packed room of Microsoft people, he said, listen that iPhone.
Who's gonna be paying seven hundred dollars for a phone
that's not gonna work. The level of arrogance, The level
(17:35):
of arrogance for shuders say, it is much like that.
You know, It's like, okay, So here's the deal. You
have options right now. One of the options that you
have when you're going to the draft. You can go
to a terrible team like the Cleveland Browns. The theory
is you're gonna play right away, or you can go
to a good team and yeah, you're not gonna play
right away, and it's much more fun to play right away. However,
(17:56):
if you go to a good team, there's a little
bit of a cheat code. When you go to a
good team, I'm gonna explain to it in a minute.
But Shooter is on a bad team, and he's buried
on a bad team. They're gonna have to get those
shovels from Dodger Stateium and dig up that they used
to dig up the pitching mount for Kershaw. They're gonna
have to get that to dig up Shoodhe Sanders at
this particular point, he's the third string quarterback, but really
(18:18):
the four string quarterback because Bailey Zappie was brought in
to run the scout team, which is normally what the
third string quarterback does. But Shooter Sanders is too cool
for school. He can't be doing that. So the other
path here, the cheat code. You go to a good team.
You don't get to play, however, they pump up your value.
You're in a winning building. You're around in theory, good
(18:41):
coaches and good players. There's positive vibrations there and all
that stuff. And you go there and you end up
getting an opportunity if the quarterback gets hurt. If not,
in a year or two, they trade you somewhere else
because they plant all kinds of stories with useful litics
in the media. Help man, that guy looked really good
in practice. He's ready to play. He's being held back
by quarterback X. But if quarterback X guests hurt, they're
(19:04):
in good shape, et cetera, et ce. So instead, he
picked the Browns because he thought he would walk right in.
And you've got Joe FLACKOQB one, You've got Dylan Gabriel
QB two, and as I mentioned, Bailey Zappies QB three,
shadur is if you look at the food pyramid, he's
chop liver. That is what he is, chop liver. Going
to Baltimore, Philly. Think of it this way. I'll use
(19:25):
the analogy. If you went to Baltimore, Philadelphia as a
backup quarterback, you would be in a studio apartment, but
you'd be in Beverly Hills. If you'd go to Cleveland. Now, hey,
I'm Beverly Hills listening. You got a good neighborhood, a
lot of space. You know you're living in the neighborhood.
You have a small apartment, which you're in a good place.
(19:46):
He picked the penthouse with more space, Shader Sanders. But
it's in the Tenderloin district, and it looks nice on
the brochure, but you step outside and you're stepping on
syringes and garbage and feces right there on the sidewalk,
right there on the sidewalk. That's what you're doing there.
And so the perks is like, you have options. Now.
(20:10):
He clearly thought he was going to be drafted in
the first round or the second round. Otherwise he wouldn't
have done what he did. But the man got some
bad advice, bad advice on primetime games, National TV, all
that stuff, and you go to the Bermuda Triangle for
quarterbacks and that's where he ate it up. It is

Speaker 6 (23:37):

Speaker 7 (23:54):
You don't try.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Yesterday, but I was ready to switch from bluetooth to speaker,
ended up hanging up.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
The following year. I remember that. I recall that was
very awkward and we were all excited the big build
up for you to make in Mica did the big
Baffo Soco introduction and then no he was God, he
was nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
But now you're I know that was that was a
rookie mistake by me.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Yeah, that was a mistaken I want to talk to
you about that.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
So you talked about the push push from Philly, right
and uh, and how it shouldn't be that, but now
it's showing that they're doing false starts a lot and
that's costing. So what is the outrage on that, the
fact that they.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Listen Dominican mic. Everyone should be doing it. It's it's illegal,
it's allowed in the NFL. And how come the egos
do it at ninety six percent and nobody else is
close to that.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Well, it's showing that a lot of times are getting
away with false starts.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Okay, well, but but here's the thing. But but my point,
if the NFL is going to allow you to get
away with it, then just do it that way. That's fine.
Just night and run help Why not just every play
run the toushbush two yards at a time, two yards
at a time, every damn play. I would agree with you,
it would be it would be boring. But it's like,
(25:14):
you're a baseball guy. To Midickan Mike, I've met you.
You're a nice man. You're a baseball guy. Right, And
it's like the shift in baseball. They didn't need to
get rid of the shift in baseball. They didn't they did.
I'm with you, No, you know I'm right, and you
agree with me. I know you agree with me. The player,
the players can self regulate, they can take care of
(25:34):
that if they wanted to For years there there was
the shift in baseball and people would choke up on
the bat, hit the ball the other way, whatever, And
yes they don't do that, but they could. They could
do that.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
They could walk around to like people like and San Diego,
like those guys that made the contact the other way.
But it's just it's just a lot of work then,
And it's a lot of work, that's to say.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So, let's life. You you have a job, you work
a lot. I have a job. I I you know,
spend my time getting ready. It's it's it's being a
grown up. Isn't that what it is, Mike. You have
to spend time in your job. I spent time on
my job. That's how the world works.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Absolutely, absolutely spending a little too much time on a job.
Speaker 1 (26:14):

Speaker 6 (26:28):
The Mets missing the playoffs. You know, I'd rather have
the reps or even you know, my team, the Diamondbacks,
because it shows that even with a payroll the Mets
has the Mets are curse. They are the worst?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know, I don't. I don't disagree. I for from
a selfish standpoint, it would be a great story for me. Yeah,
I got a show to do. And if the Mets
somehow f this up. There's only one spot left in
the National League playoff RCTs Padres are in, so it's
it's one week three teams. Oh god, this would be

Thank you. I appreciate that we had another one of
your Bostonians here. Earlier we had moving man Matt, who
was in town and he did not show up twelve
hours early and did not go to the offices and
raise a hullabaloo like someone I know, someone I know,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Who could that be? Anyway, I'm taking my kids are
off too today a farm do apple picking and picking
pumpkins and watching the cows. And I had to admit something. Well, actually,
for Coop, I have a stew that I made last night.

avocado olive oil, it has beans and steak and it's beautiful.

friend Mike the Lepreca.

one who caused all the shenanigans at the stadium on Sunday.
Oh you were, yeah, the fumble bumble, eye up? Whatever all.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Did you put? Did you butter the hands of the
Patriots players? Did you put butter? Ones?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It was like a Balus soap. If you ask me,
they should have put in the flying squirrels to be honest.
But anyway, here's what happened. I was bringing my two
little sidekicks. I hit my chickens and then the thing
they really got it going with my new cow bell.
You need you all need more cowbell?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Right, yes, all right?
Speaker 3 (29:36):

commotion the players are not even paying attention.

spoken before the answer when I was on hold, guy,
you've never gotten a sports question right in ten years.
I don't understand what's going on here.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
So I knew this was an LA based show. So
I heard Shaw. Oh okay, I did this sounds like
a baseball player and I thought he did. Yeah, so
I did my critical thinking skills.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Credible, he said, critical thinking, critical thinking.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
But I didn't smoke any weed. And I just woke
up a few minutes ago. My mind, it's fresh caffeine. Nothing.
It's total. This is total blind right here.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yeah, it's authentic.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
Blind ruined the game.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
You did ruin the game. I let the record show
that I left extra time for the game, that no good,
no good d goes unpunished, that I broke on time.
I never break on time. I stopped on time. I
get slapped in the face by blind Scott. Thank you
(37:17):
very much.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Right now, I have the moment. This sits him out

Speaker 1 (37:29):
You're sure. I tell you all the time, I said, listen,
just don't don't listen to the haters. What do you do?
You listen to everything all the time? Dude.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
Come on, there's a bunch of weird guys in the
North end of like you're at a partnership now. They're like, Yo,
we're gonna get him down here in the radio. We're
gonna do some sound bite dude, we're gonna bring the
radio stations down here and they're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Alright, alright, I gotta go. Thank you all right? Uh,
Coach Russell, you did not get a chance. Would you
have gotten to write Coach Russell, I actually wouldn't have
been closed to said Freddy Freeman, team teammates, but not
the correct answer. How's the team doing that? Coachin't okay
with the team?
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Great, we're doing great.
Speaker 7 (38:09):
We played for our district championship on Friday night.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
We're nice, we're rolling.
Speaker 7 (38:16):
We got another road victory this past weekend, and we're
excited to play and ready to go Friday night.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
And get the awesome. Any any players, college guys on

Speaker 7 (38:29):
Oh yeah, I'll be I'll be at South come Oina,
Kentucky this weekend.
Speaker 6 (38:32):
I got two guys going up there.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Oh nice, that's cool.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
I was at Florida State last weekend.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
So nice the gam that's great. Yeah, Well, you're gonna
see the quarterback for South Carolina's supposed to be the
top quarterback in the draft next year, not Arch Manning.
So we'll see what you gotta get going though.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
That's that's that's that's where I got my mattress from.
So that's my school.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
There you go, going, all right, well, good luck coach.
There's a coach rush would be good there, coach. So
there he's in the Orlando area doing his thing. And
so Todd Bowles. I like Todd Bowles. Not a great coach,
but a good sound bite. So Todd Bowles was asked
he's the Bucks coach by a reporter. What Payne Durham
said to him in the tunnel with his arm wrapped
(39:14):
around him, and Todd Bowles said, me and me and
Pain have a relationship not many people know about. We're
secret lovers. A Rather than give the cliche response, he
just is so good. I like that, Todd Bowles. Guy,
that's pretty funny. That's a good, good sound bite right there,
Omaha, omaha. It's our number for our number four. And
are the forty nine ers good enough defensively to pick
up the slack for the loss of Nick Bosa out
for the year. We'll talk about that here on the
Ben Maler Show and hour number four. Also, what is
your reaction on to Aaron Glenn. That's a coach calling
(00:21):
out the negativity around the Jets media, Same old sorry
ass Jets. They're off to the only three start. And
Dion Sanders confirming the reports saying that hey, his kid
did not want to be drafted by the Eagles and
the Ravens. How does Shrader sanders rejection of Philly and
Baltimore sound to you. We'll talk about all those stories
(00:43):
and more right now. Settle in. It's our number four.
Have a great day, Enjoy this Tuesday, the twenty third
day of September. The hits just keep on coming, and
they're not all good. A lot of them are bad.

But we begin in the Bay Area. We start out
(02:57):
in the Bay Area. Big injury news, Big injury news
in the Bay If you did not here, perhaps not,
perhaps not. Forty nine Ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa
turnout the last the parties over. Yeah, he's gonna miss
the rest of the championship season. Hey going, It's only
(03:19):
week three now, heading into week four and Bosa is out.
He shredded his ACL. It looked like shredded chicken. And
that's it. So this is the second ACL injury for Bosa.
You might remember, probably not because it happened during the pandemic,
but Bosa missed most of the twenty twenty season when
he also tore his left knee to bits. So let
(03:42):
us discuss the question you have a star player get hurt.
The question is are the forty nine ers good enough
defensively sans Joey Bosa that they can pick up the
slack defensively without Bosa. So I've got grand old Opry
sin Can Asshole and Steve Balmer, and we will combine
(04:04):
all of these things together. And for our friend who's
in Florida but as hard as in New Jersey, we're
going to make the Gobba goool. We're gonna make the
Gobba gool. So to kick off here, the forty nine
ers defensive edge rusher Nick Bosa gone down for the
count and all that. You've got Kyle Shanahan who's like, well,
you know, you don't just replace Nick, which is true,
(04:24):
you don't just replace Nick. Everyone has to get better.
Blah blah blah. That's the cliche thing. Everyone's got to
get better. But that's San Francisco defense. Now you look
at the forty nine ers defensively and without Bolsa, their
fool's gold is what they are. You don't just get better,
like Shanahan said, well, everyone's got to get better. Well,
(04:46):
Easier said they've done you. You can't just make up
by a couple of guys playing slightly better the impact
of a force multiplier. Then that's Nick Bosa on the
forty nine ers, and the Niners already had issues going
into the year. So Nick bo is the guy we
thought he was, and he's out twenty twenty two. I
(05:06):
believe defensive player of the year, if I remember correctly,
center of the wagon. He is the center of the
wagon wheel, the whole thing. If you look at the
wagon wheel. They use this a lot in entertainment, and
a buddy of mine is a writer in Hollywood. He said, well,
when you make a show, you have a wagon wheel,
and if you imagine the wagon wheel, right in the
middle is the star of the show, right, star of
(05:28):
the show, and everything else is just the spokes around
the middle. And they can help out the main part
of the show. But the main part is the middle
part of the wagon wheel. So I bring that up.
The whole thing is designed with Nick Bosa. The whole
operation is designed with Nick Bosa in the middle.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
There.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Everything's about game changing plays and the other players just
do your job. Everything else is just a spoke and
that's it. And you take the center out and then
the spokes don't mean much. So what do you have?
So I've got Fred Warner who's not a bad player.
You got Fred Warner who's still pretty good, and a
bunch of jags. Just a guy there, just a guy there,
(06:09):
Just a guy, role players, complimentary pieces, etc. Etc. Et cetera.
They're not the ingredients to a top ten defense for
the forty nine ers. And imagine, if you will, you
live in the grand Old Opry, right, you're maybe you're
just visiting. You're visiting the Grand Old Opry there. And
then Bob Dylan, of all people, a thousand years old,
he'll come out there and strom wagon wheel and get
(06:33):
the place rocking, right, get the place rocking and all
that stuff. And instead, though they decided the last minute,
we're going to cancel the Dylan act. He's old, so
we'll give him the day off. And then the opening
act will be the guy playing a kazoo. Now, not
that you have anything against the kazoo, but you're not
excited about that, right, that's not an opening act. And
so that's pretty much where the forty nine ers find
(06:55):
themselves at this point. It's a kazoo act without Nick Bosa.
You can try to convince you yourself and try to
tell yourself that it's still the same. It's like I
wanted to see something that wasn't a Kazoo show, but
it's not a Kazus Show's everything's gonna be okay, but
it's junk compared to what you came to see. That's
the reality. And so this is one of the things
where the fanboys, we pushed back on the fan boys.
(07:16):
They get it wrong. They'll say, well, you know, look
at the rest of the roster, look at the coaching.
You know, you go through that whole rigamaroar. However, in
this particular business, one key guy does change everything. Now,
there are examples that people bring up. Look, the team
won the Super Bowl. The Eagles are the great example.
For the rest of my life. People are gonna be
(07:38):
saying quarterback gets hurt. Well, I won with Nick Foles. Okay,
that's true. What about the hundreds and hundreds of other
examples of teams that lost their quarterback and didn't do
Diddley squad, couldn't do Didley squat or Didley poo or
whatever you want to say. That's it. And so Nick
Bosa changes the pass. Who actually changes the things that
you have to account for, m double tames, change how
(08:01):
fast the quarterback gets rid of the ball, all of
that stuff, and he is the star that makes the
other guys look better. He elevates the players around him
on defense. Obviously that will not happen you take him out. Now.
I am going to say, despite what looks to be
a pretty ordinary defensive roster, I will be Benny Brightside
for the forty nine ers. So this is good news.
(08:21):
I'm looking out for Alam de Lou and Ernesto in
the Bay and all the rest Eileen in San Francisco.
All are ourp ones that contribute in northern California. Right
who like the forty nine ers? The schedule, hostess schedule,
hostess schedule. You look at it. Outside of the Rams,
they've got nothing the Niners but Twinkies, cupcakes, ding dongs,
(08:47):
and fruit pies. That's who they play. That's it. They've
got Twinkies, cupcakes, ding dongs, and fruit pie. They don't
even play jumbo sized toney bun. They don't even play
jumbo sized Tony Bun, do you understand? So that's it.
They got a bunch of snack cakes on the menu
soft as can be. So what does that mean. That
means you should still be able to rack up wins
(09:09):
even without Nick Bosa. But do not confuse, do not
confuse that with legitimate championship football. That is the fake.
That is the head fake, is what that is. When
you get to January and you have to play legit
teams and you don't have Nick Bosa, and when the
lights go on and Bosa's having a cocktail on the sidelines,
(09:31):
You're done. That's it now. Furthermore, speaking of done, not
all precincts are reporting in is it too soon to
say bye bye to the Jets? We go to Jersey
where the Jets are zero and three on the year.
They have missed the playoffs now for not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven eight.
(09:52):
I can't even count that. I fourteen years in a
row the Jets have not made the plus in a
league that is supposed to have a revolving door. The
way they set it up, it's all a shell game,
and it's all a hustle to the hustle now to
get as many teams into the playoffs as often as
possible with the wild cards and the easier schedule, and
(10:14):
the Jets have managed to go fourteen years. They are
six more years away from going an entire generation without
making the playoffs in a business that tries to get
teams to make the plus fasten it. So they have
this new head coach. You never need to learn the
name of the Jets coach because they're only there temporarily,
so you don't need to learn the name. But his
name is Aaron Glenn, and Aaron Glenn is a defensive
(10:35):
guy who is overseeing a horrific defense. That would be
the New York Jets, who are bad to the bone. Now,
they're not as bad as Baltimore. We saw in the
Monday night game. Baltimore the worst defensive team, absolutely horrific.
So they're not that bad. But you look at some
of the key nerd stats and some of the more
(10:56):
traditional stats for the Jets and say, well, this is
not a good defensive team. One of the key stats
would be defensively obviously, how many points do you give up?
The Jets are currently twenty eighth in the NFL, are
allowing thirty one points per game to begin the year,
the same as the Chicago Bears, which doesn't seem particularly good. Well,
(11:19):
I bring this up. Get to the point, please. So
I bring this up because Aaron Glenn went off on
the media. He's picking fights with the media. So the
question is, what is your reaction to Aaron Glenn calling
out He said the negativity around the Jets media, they're
too negative. He wants happy time, all right. So my
(11:40):
reaction is, it's on brand. It is on brand for
the Jets. Instead of focusing on fixing the product, which
is covered in cockroaches, Aaron Glenn is out there blaming
some dopey sports writer for the New York Post or
the Daily News. You're being too negative. Okay, so let's
do some inventory. What do you say you have to
do inventory? So, okay, buddy, you're zero in three, which
(12:05):
is not great. You've only played three games. You are
the negative thing. You are the negative part of the
story if you are the Jets. You know showed versus
the Buffalo Bills, you took the week off, and then
the first three quarters against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You
also decided, eh, you know, I don't need to play.
(12:25):
You're not exactly winning the battle. You get one chance
to make a good first impression. Of course in Jets
Land that first game against the Steelers, and it's like, wow,
the Jets. They played the Steelers close. Oh baby, hum baby,
the Jets and the Steeler right there, and you're like,
wait a minute, the Jets are that pathetic. The fact
that they lost by two points to the Steelers is
(12:48):
a win in Jetland? Is that how it works? I
don't think so.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
So.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Uh, good luck, And again, you're not gonna win this battle.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
We know that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You know what, every man, woman and child knows it.
You're not gonna win the battle. York media has been
eating coaches alive since Joe Namath was wearing coachs those
fur coats on the sidelines back in the day. And
a lens Owen three is already chirping about the negative
media people, what's wrong with you? That is not a
hill you want to die on. That is not a
(13:17):
hill you want to die on. It's good for talk radio.
You're not Detroit anymore. You're not just the DC, You're
not the defensive coordinator, the head coach.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
And this is.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
A town. It's got the tabloids, the back pages, it's
got all that it's got talk radio, tabloid headlines. You
can whine and complain and belly ache about the negativity.
When you're serving up slop is what you're serving up
straight low. Three straight losses in a row, three straight
losses in a row. And by the way, might I
(13:49):
remind you if you cannot reflect on the negative, if
you cannot learn from the negative, you're never going to improve. Ever,
the whole raw rah go team, here we go.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Ignore the bad stuff. Ignore the bad stuff. Does not fly,
it should not fly, and you get when you do that,
you get a cacophony of booze, a lot of different
variables of boo And it's trying to control the sports
media in New York. It's like trying to stop a
tidal wave with a sand castle. The sand castle could
(14:24):
be really big and look really nice. However, eventually, what's
going to happen. We know when that tidle wave makes contact.
See you later. Back to the ocean, you go, that's it,
that's all. And the sharks smell blood in the water,
and you're the chum in the water. That's it. And
you are what your record says you are, and the
(14:46):
jets are zering three, and I would say going the
wrong direction, not the right direction. Now, last thing to
prime time, we go, we go to prime time. Follow
up to the follow up, follow up to the follow up.
Dion Sanders confirming during a re sent Random podcast that
the reports were accurate that the Baltimore Ravens were gung
(15:07):
ho to draft Shooter Sanders. However, he told them to
go pound SAand Dion Sanders confirming that not only did
his spawn not want to play for the Ravens, he
also added that the Philadelphia Eagles called up and said, hey,
how would you like to play for the reigning Super
Bowl champions, and Shoddher Sandas said, no way, I don't
(15:28):
want to. You get out of my face. I might
have added on to that, but you get the point.
So Deon says Shooter did not think he would have
a realistic chance of becoming a starter wall on the
same team as Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts, and he'd
rather play in Cleveland where he believes he will get
(15:48):
a chance to start. Deon Sanders thinks the kid will
get a chance to start before the end of the year.
So let us discuss the question on this one Deon
Sanders confirming the interne's that chatter that his kid didn't
want to play for the Ravens. Now we can add
on the Eagles. So how does Shardur Sanders rejecting Philadelphia
(16:09):
and Baltimore sound to you? All right, So I'm gonna
go first here it sounds shortsighted. Now, I understand everyone
wants to play and you want to go the easiest path.
Part of being a human being is to find the
fastest path between two points right, and the easiest way
to get a chance to play has always been go
(16:30):
to Cleveland. They're a joke of a franchise, They're a
fraud football team. They're an embarrassment, So you go to
the Cleveland Browns. However, here's the issue. Shadhur Sanders miscalculating.
He needs a new calculator. He miscalculated here. He overvalued
how good he was in the eyes of the NFL.
It's obvious now. We bought into all the hype before
(16:51):
the draft. We spent a lot of valuable talk radio
real estate talking about Shadur Sanders in the draft. But
it's clear, based on what we have seen with our
own eyes and herd with our own ears that he
completely to quote Klay Travis, you spare morning, he outkicked
the coverage is what he did here. Bad job by him.
Totally misjudged the market, totally misjudge the market. This reminds
(17:14):
me you talk about bad analysis. This reminds me of
when the old Microsoft CEO, Steve Balmer, who now owns
the Clippers, he said, in front of a group, a
packed room of Microsoft people, he said, listen that iPhone.
Who's gonna be paying seven hundred dollars for a phone
that's not gonna work. The level of arrogance, The level
(17:35):
of arrogance for shuders say, it is much like that.
You know, It's like, okay, So here's the deal. You
have options right now. One of the options that you
have when you're going to the draft. You can go
to a terrible team like the Cleveland Browns. The theory
is you're gonna play right away, or you can go
to a good team and yeah, you're not gonna play
right away, and it's much more fun to play right away. However,
(17:56):
if you go to a good team, there's a little
bit of a cheat code. When you go to a
good team, I'm gonna explain to it in a minute.
But Shooter is on a bad team, and he's buried
on a bad team. They're gonna have to get those
shovels from Dodger Stateium and dig up that they used
to dig up the pitching mount for Kershaw. They're gonna
have to get that to dig up Shoodhe Sanders at
this particular point, he's the third string quarterback, but really
(18:18):
the four string quarterback because Bailey Zappie was brought in
to run the scout team, which is normally what the
third string quarterback does. But Shooter Sanders is too cool
for school. He can't be doing that. So the other
path here, the cheat code. You go to a good team.
You don't get to play, however, they pump up your value.
You're in a winning building. You're around in theory, good
(18:41):
coaches and good players. There's positive vibrations there and all
that stuff. And you go there and you end up
getting an opportunity if the quarterback gets hurt. If not,
in a year or two, they trade you somewhere else
because they plant all kinds of stories with useful litics
in the media. Help man, that guy looked really good
in practice. He's ready to play. He's being held back
by quarterback X. But if quarterback X guests hurt, they're
(19:04):
in good shape, et cetera, et ce. So instead, he
picked the Browns because he thought he would walk right in.
And you've got Joe FLACKOQB one, You've got Dylan Gabriel
QB two, and as I mentioned, Bailey Zappies QB three,
shadur is if you look at the food pyramid, he's
chop liver. That is what he is, chop liver. Going
to Baltimore, Philly. Think of it this way. I'll use
(19:25):
the analogy. If you went to Baltimore, Philadelphia as a
backup quarterback, you would be in a studio apartment, but
you'd be in Beverly Hills. If you'd go to Cleveland. Now, hey,
I'm Beverly Hills listening. You got a good neighborhood, a
lot of space. You know you're living in the neighborhood.
You have a small apartment, which you're in a good place.
(19:46):
He picked the penthouse with more space, Shader Sanders. But
it's in the Tenderloin district, and it looks nice on
the brochure, but you step outside and you're stepping on
syringes and garbage and feces right there on the sidewalk,
right there on the sidewalk. That's what you're doing there.
And so the perks is like, you have options. Now.
(20:10):
He clearly thought he was going to be drafted in
the first round or the second round. Otherwise he wouldn't
have done what he did. But the man got some
bad advice, bad advice on primetime games, National TV, all
that stuff, and you go to the Bermuda Triangle for
quarterbacks and that's where he ate it up. It is

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Of golden Good morning, Ben Maller, Ben Matherer with Benny
versus the penny.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Everything is good, Ben, everything is good. I've been busy, busy, busy,
but uh, not busy enough. If I get a chance
to cold you got to get to call the show
that off.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
You don't try.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Yesterday, but I was ready to switch from bluetooth to speaker,
ended up hanging up.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
The following year. I remember that. I recall that was
very awkward and we were all excited the big build
up for you to make in Mica did the big
Baffo Soco introduction and then no he was God, he
was nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
But now you're I know that was that was a
rookie mistake by me.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Yeah, that was a mistaken I want to talk to
you about that.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
So you talked about the push push from Philly, right
and uh, and how it shouldn't be that, but now
it's showing that they're doing false starts a lot and
that's costing. So what is the outrage on that, the
fact that they.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Listen Dominican mic. Everyone should be doing it. It's it's illegal,
it's allowed in the NFL. And how come the egos
do it at ninety six percent and nobody else is
close to that.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Well, it's showing that a lot of times are getting
away with false starts.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Okay, well, but but here's the thing. But but my point,
if the NFL is going to allow you to get
away with it, then just do it that way. That's fine.
Just night and run help Why not just every play
run the toushbush two yards at a time, two yards
at a time, every damn play. I would agree with you,
it would be it would be boring. But it's like,
(25:14):
you're a baseball guy. To Midickan Mike, I've met you.
You're a nice man. You're a baseball guy. Right, And
it's like the shift in baseball. They didn't need to
get rid of the shift in baseball. They didn't they did.
I'm with you, No, you know I'm right, and you
agree with me. I know you agree with me. The player,
the players can self regulate, they can take care of
(25:34):
that if they wanted to For years there there was
the shift in baseball and people would choke up on
the bat, hit the ball the other way, whatever, And
yes they don't do that, but they could. They could
do that.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
They could walk around to like people like and San Diego,
like those guys that made the contact the other way.
But it's just it's just a lot of work then,
And it's a lot of work, that's to say.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So, let's life. You you have a job, you work
a lot. I have a job. I I you know,
spend my time getting ready. It's it's it's being a
grown up. Isn't that what it is, Mike. You have
to spend time in your job. I spent time on
my job. That's how the world works.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Absolutely, absolutely spending a little too much time on a job.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But well, you're very you're very popular these days, they're
making Mike, I don't know, I know, I.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Am, Yes, something happened nine months ago. Anyways, uh Ben,
it's talking about Basil.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
It's been met.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
I am so looking forward to.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
The Mets missing the playoffs. You know, I'd rather have
the reps or even you know, my team, the Diamondbacks,
because it shows that even with a payroll the Mets
has the Mets are curse. They are the worst?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know, I don't. I don't disagree. I for from
a selfish standpoint, it would be a great story for me. Yeah,
I got a show to do. And if the Mets
somehow f this up. There's only one spot left in
the National League playoff RCTs Padres are in, so it's
it's one week three teams. Oh god, this would be
(27:05):
so awesome if they screw this up. Oh my god,
oh god.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Were they fighting for position like three months ago and
now they can't even get to the playoffs. I mean,

So nice the gam that's great. Yeah, Well, you're gonna
see the quarterback for South Carolina's supposed to be the
top quarterback in the draft next year, not Arch Manning.
So we'll see what you gotta get going though.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
That's that's that's that's where I got my mattress from.
So that's my school.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
There you go, going, all right, well, good luck coach.
There's a coach rush would be good there, coach. So
there he's in the Orlando area doing his thing. And
so Todd Bowles. I like Todd Bowles. Not a great coach,
but a good sound bite. So Todd Bowles was asked
he's the Bucks coach by a reporter. What Payne Durham
said to him in the tunnel with his arm wrapped
(39:14):
around him, and Todd Bowles said, me and me and
Pain have a relationship not many people know about. We're
secret lovers. A Rather than give the cliche response, he
just is so good. I like that, Todd Bowles. Guy,
that's pretty funny. That's a good, good sound bite right there,
