This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
All man hybolly build up and a shrog, Just a shrog.
That's how it ended up. Shrug Well. Come in the
beginning of a brand new week of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere in partnership as we
(00:54):
are the ninjas of the night, coast to coast, border
to border and beyond. On the vast and humongously powerful
microphones of fs are ammnating live from the pulpit, the

installations just wonderful. Tire iraq dot Com the Way Tire
Buying showb so our lead this hour from Jerry's World
(01:58):
play the hit small Man play. As one of our
old bosses used to say, so, the most hype game
of the NFL weekend. You had Jordan Love and the
Packers versus Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, a lopsided match
up according to the gambling market one sided, supposed to
be a blowout. Then they played the game and we
(02:19):
know the biggest part of the hype for the game,
the build up was the side show. That was the
biggest thing here was It was Micah Parson's return to
the Death Star. And I don't know if you were
checking this out or not. Maybe you were burned out
from all the football throughout the day which started early.
There was a game in Ireland very early and continued
(02:43):
all this you might have missed it. And if you
missed it, you didn't really miss anything because the game
didn't end with a winner. We did not have a winner.
We had multiple losers, and the game came down to
the final second of overtime when Brian McManus booted a
thirty four yard field goal with just one second left.
(03:05):
Not to win the game, not to win the game,
No no, no, no no, not to win the game. Instead
to get a tie. To procure a tie. Forty forty
eighty points were scored in this game. Now, we usually
say the better stories in the losing locker room. Both
these teams losers lose ours, all right, So let us
(03:27):
discuss the question. Let's just get right into the nitty
gritty of this. Did Green Bays Micah Parsons raise his
game up to match the hype the much anticipated return
to Jerry's World? Did Micah Parsons live up to his
end of the bargain? So I've got diagnosis, kitty kat
(03:49):
and yoga, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make garlic potato knots is
what we're going to make slogans. Mix the potatoes together
with some post and holy anyway, all right, So, first
of all, to answer the question, did Green Bay's Micah
Parsons end up raising his game to match the stage
(04:14):
that he was on? And the only answer, and you
can't see me unless you're watching on the YouTube feed,
is I'm shaking my head. No, he did not. That
was revenge. That was Micah Parson's revenge. That was a
statement that you want defense, you go to Green Bay, baby.
The Packers are great defensively. You know what. That was
(04:35):
a lot of cardio. That was a cardio game for
Michah Parson. He was doing pilates out there. He wasn't
really playing football. He was doing pilates. Michaeh. Parsons did
more running around than actually making plays in this game,
much to the chagrin of the television executives who were
not obviously happy with this. But the guy was number
one in your program, right there, Michah Parsons number one,
(04:59):
unfortunately zero in the box score for ninety nine point
nine percent of this particular game. Getting a pity sack.
I called it a pity sack because if you were
watching the game, it didn't really look like a sack.
It didn't feel like a sack. It shouldn't have been
a sack. But the fugazy rules of the NFL, they
gave Michael Parsons a sack with four forty nine to
(05:22):
go in overtime four forty Even Dak Prescott after the
game was shocked. You kidding me? They gave him a
sack on that that's ridiculous, but they did so. Michael
Parsons did not raise his game. Now, we were not
shocked by this. We thought the Packers would win. If
you watched Benny versus the Penny. We certainly thought that
the Packers were gonna win this game by a wide margin.
(05:43):
We did not have on our Bengo card that the
team from Wisconsin would be that pathetic defensively. But then
Michael Parsons, we're talking about him right now, he did
not elevate his performance in this game. Now the NBC
brought If NBC was not showing MICHAEH. Parsons and then
(06:07):
shoving him down your throat like your parents would making
vegetables when your kid. It was like a medicine situation. Here,
take the pell, I don't want the pill, Take the pail.
I don't like I don't need the pell. Take the
damn pill. I don't want the pell. You gotta have
the pill. You wouldn't even known Michael Parsons was out there.
Every other snap was michae Caparson's. This MICHAEH. Parsons that
(06:29):
we knew what he had for breakfast, we knew what
he had for lunch, we knew what time he took
his bowel movement. We know everything about Michael Parsons. It
was unbelievable. That's in depth covers there. Michael Parsons is
a return to Jerry's world. Now Here is Michael Parsons,
the man of the hour who points out that he
didn't really do all that.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Well, I'm pissed, Uh, you know, I'm very disappointed overall
how we performed. Uh you know, I even told Jordan
to this side and you know, thank you for having
our back today. That's why so pivotal that you know
he played complimentary football, because today Jordan played like the
player he was, and we let him down. We at
(07:09):
little to the expectations.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
On defense, well, there was a lot of huffing and
puffing from Micah Parsons, stumbling and bumbling as well. So
they Mallard diagnosis, the overnight talk radio diagnosis from Micah
Parsons chronic case of tight toock his syndrome. Tight took
(07:31):
his syndrome for Michah Parsons shrinkage if you know what
I mean. Parsons treated his return to Jerry's world just
like a playoff game. And guess what he played like?
It was a playoff guy. He was nowhere, out there,
nowhere to be seen, got boxed up. He was neutered
by the Dallas Cowboys. Micah Parsons tossed in a boiling cauldron.
(07:56):
If you will here, Holy Toledo, he's bad. Highest paid
non quarterback in football. The guy blows, and that ninety sucks.
Man invisible man, the invisible man. And let's not bury
the lead, my man. We won't bury the lead. The
Green Bay Packers who followed up a loss a wake
up call. You lost to Cleveland because you were caught
(08:19):
looking ahead. Wake up call, loss, wake up call, loss
to the Browns. And what do you do? You come
back against a ragtag cowboy team and play to a tie.
The green Bay Packers are frauds. The green Bay Packers
are frauds. Pathetic and if I hear one more thing
(08:40):
about Oh the Packers, Dave just sucked. Good shoving up
your ass. They suck. They allowed the Dallas Cowboys without
Seedee Lamb to put up four hundred and thirty six
yards of offense forty points. Four hundred and thirty six
yards of offense forty points, and Dallas still tried to
lose again. They had eleven penalties for ninety five yards,
(09:03):
handing multiple first downs to the Green Bay Packers. And
then Jordan Love, he also tried to lose the game
as much as Micah Parsons was licking the toes of
Jordan Love. Jordan Love at the end. You talk about
bad situational awareness by Jordan Love at the end of
his game. Now he also had problems in the pocket,
(09:23):
bad pocket awareness. He was stripsacked on a fumble that
handed the Cowboys a touchdown. But late in the game,
My god, what a what a fraud. The Green Bay
Packers are total fool gayzy team, the Green Bay Packers,
My god. All right, Now, on the other side of things,
not the losing locker room, not the winning locker room,
(09:44):
the other part of the tie here. So how does
this tie play for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Right,
it's all about Micah, it was all about Jerry Jones. Well,
let's hear from Jerry Jones. And he felt bad for
the people that liked the Cowboys. He felt bad for
(10:04):
the people that like the cowboys. Tike, as there's.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Nobody in here obviously that I'm gonna let in any
way I can put the lost part of the tie
on them. I'm proud of this bunch. They competed their
tails off in here tonight. They competed out there at
the end when they were tired. I'm proud of them,
and I thought we played well enough to win the game.
(10:27):
I'm sick for these guys, sick for these players, sick
for these coaches, said well, mostly sick for our fans
if we didn't bring home or win. But I am
proud of the way we've competed tonight.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, it's good he's proud. Here's a glitch at the
end of that, But I'm glad that he's proud. It's
nice that he's Jerry's proud of you. Okay, here's more.
Here's Mike. Actually, here's Jerry Jones on whether or not
ties are necessary. Do we need ties in the NFL.
Here's Jerry Jones.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I don't want to That game was probably a great
game for the NFL as far as the showcase for
the game and competition, because you had outstanding quarterback play,
you had some very talented people out there playing. You
certainly had one of the most expensive players in the
history of the NFL out there playing. And so I
guess everybody was going to take a look tonight and
(11:16):
decide to see it work all there?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Okay, so apparently not. That's so backhanded shot there by
Jerry Jones. But here's the deal. To answer the question,
how does this tie and Micah Parsons return to Dallas
play for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, Well, it plays
so Jerry gets to strut around like a banti rooster
running around there. That's Jerry Jones, their chest puffed out.
(11:41):
His team didn't drown in the cheese fondue they were
supposed to drown in. They were supposed to go deep
down into that cheese fondue and not be able to
breathe there on Sunday night. And that's all it takes.
And the Cowboys didn't win the game. And if you
don't win, you're a loser. But they were a touchdown
underdog in this game. The gambling market had the Green
(12:02):
Bay Packers winning by a wide margin. Vegas basically told
the world in terms of this matchup here that the
Cowboys were going to get a Wisconsin baptism in boiling
cheddar and that certainly did not happen in this game.
And you say, well, Jerry Jones defense, the Cowboys defense
could not have stopped a leaky faucet. That is accurate.
(12:25):
In fact, how bad was it? The Green Bay Packers
went three touchdowns, two field goals on their second half
and overtime possessions. They had five possessions after halftime, three
touchdowns and two field goals. That's five scoring drives. My computer,
like brain tells me five scoring drives. And I think
(12:46):
that's all of the possessions. I believe. I think five
for five of my math is correct on that. But
Dallas still still despite that, ended up in a tie situation.
And all that matters to Jerry Jones is that Michaeh
Parson sucked. At any time, he cannot suck, vindicating his
(13:08):
trade of Michah Parsons. The guy's not a big game players.
That's the argument. When I was with the Cowboys, the
guy disappears, he comes tiny in big spots. And that
was what Michael Parsons did on this night. That's that
perfect capsule of Michael Parsons as an NFL player. Total
fraud in big games, total fraud. And Jerry Jones can
walk around smiling from ear to ear and all that
(13:30):
and postgame I saw some of the interview that Jerry did.
We played a couple of clips there for you, but
Jerry Jones, it was a kiddy cat moment for Jerry Jones.
He was like a cheshire cat's smile from ear to ears,
so happy, so happy. Right, I gets to sit there
in his luxury suite look down at all this waving
to the cameras, knowing that he's on the NBC feed
(13:52):
twenty times during the broadcast, and he can they can
pump out some of his classic quotes like the Gospel
of Jerry's World and all that stuff is just great.
And forget a tie, because that's a win, baby, for
Jerry Jones. That is a win for Jerry Jones. And
all you trash talking people. You can't talk trash to
Jerry Jones. Now he literally said afterwards in one of
(14:13):
the quotes I saw Dak he said, his indispensable Micah, isn't.
That's it. That's the end of the story there. So
Micah Parsons was supposed to be Lawrence Taylor two point
zero was supposed to be that when it mattered. You
didn't see him, say where'd he go? He's invisible? Where
did he go? Maybe he's having a snack. I don't
(14:34):
know where you went, jogging around like he's stuck in
molasses out there, the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL.
Everything is bigger in Dallas. If you happen to see
Jerry Jones postgame interview, everything's bigger. Even the cold sore
on Jerry's his lip. There very large, very very large there.
Man alive, my god. It's all part of the circus though.
(14:56):
It's all part of the circus at Jerry's world. There
the extra dry it's got eat it up and then wins,
losses or ties, win losses or ties, they're just the backdrop.
It's Jerry Jones doing performance art. That's what it does.
This was a a net positive for the Dallas Cowboys here.
Why because The Cowboys did not embarrass themselves. They didn't defensively,
(15:20):
but it didn't matter because the offense embarrassed the Green
Bay Packers, who are total Does anyone disagree with that?
By the way, how can you disagree that the Packers
are frost They lost at Cleveland. They gave the game
to clean ooy last week, and now they they lose
like in a game they had circled. The Cowboys pathetic
and so it's not the Cowboys that are laughing stock,
(15:41):
it's the Green Bay Packers. This is their time. They
went for it. They went We got Michael Parsons to
give up forty points in a big game that they
had circled. Man And you know, now Jerry can crow
about Michael Parsons being expendable and go on and on
about that, going to challenge him, not at this point
(16:01):
all right now quickly, I know this is an NFL
Sunday to a Monday, and very rarely do we ever
talk about anything other than football on a Sunday into
a Monday. However, this is an exception to the rule.
There's such a juicy story I cannot avoid it. In
Major League Baseball, the regular season came to an end
in baseball, and it ended with an awesome dud. Just
(16:25):
an amazing collapse in baseball. Congratulations to the Metropolitans and
just a wonderful job. Good job boys, way to go
if you've missed it. The Mets needed the Reds to
lose and then they had the win to f things
up in the baseball playoff race. Because it was the
last day of the year, the Reds had a one
(16:46):
game lead. So what happened. The Reds lost their game.
Everyone was playing at the same time. The Reds lost
their game. So the Mets all they had to do
was beat the Marlins, the lowly pathetic Marlins who haven't
tried to win in years, and the Mets do they
do bupkis. They went out there and got shut out
and Francisco Lindor ended up hitting to a double play.
(17:07):
Good afternoon, good evening, good night. Turn in your uniforms.
Your season is over over, So Cincinnati will play the Dodgers.
Advice to the Reds get into that Dodger bullpen, keep
the game close in the late innings. You'll have a
good chance to win the game. But the Reds and
Dodgers will play New York. Now their next opponent can
(17:28):
kun suntan lotion. That's the next opponent for the Mets.
Chances are they'll probably drown in suntan lotionan somewhere on
a tropical resort down in the Bahamas. Now the question here,
can you explain? Can you explain the twenty twenty five
New York Mets failing to make the playoffs? Playoffs? Can
(17:50):
you explain the twenty twenty five Mets failing to make
the playoffs? So this is perfection, this is dotting the eye. Now,
I don't enjoy this as much as I enjoyed the
cheating es one one thousand and two, one thousand holes
not making the playoffs, haha, losers. But I did enjoy
the Mets not getting it done. And you've got owner
(18:12):
of Steve Cone who is playing monopoly with real cash,
just burning money, just burning money. One Soto seven hundred
and sixty five million dollar outfielder, Juan Soto, who was
supposed to be the Messiah, the great Savior, and flushing
and another season you can flush down the toilet there
(18:32):
for the Mets. Now, did one Soto care? And we
know what he said afterwards? You think he actually cared
Jan Soda. I didn't get that vibe. I never get
the vibe from Juan Soto that he's really that upset
by anything the team does. He does get upset when
he doesn't get his stats. He's annoyed by that. But
in terms of wins and losses for the team, I
(18:54):
don't get that sense. Sodo is. He just doesn't give
that vibe like he cares about any thing in terms
of winning and losing. Here Sodo is just happy because
if you click on his baseball reference page later on Monday,
it'll look really shiny, really sexy, some good numbers, the
standing standing schmandings. Who cares about the standings there? And
(19:17):
he's really into yoga. Juan Soto, he led the Mets
in Downward Dog. Downward Dog. There went from best record
in baseball a couple months into the season to playing
like those hungry puppies chasing after scraps. That's the Mets.
(19:38):
Forty five wins by June. For the New York Metropolitans
forty five wins by June, and then they turned into
the bad news bears of baseball with better uniforms. Three
hundred and forty million dollars circus act. The Mets the
highest payroll in baseball, and they couldn't outlast the Cincinnati Reds.
(19:59):
For crime out loud, How crazy is that? How wild
is that the Reds are in the playoffs and the Mets,
the big, bad, big Apple Mets are not in the playoffs.
And while all of this is going down, all of
this is going down, you've got one Soto. He's got
that kind of Hey, I'm good, bro, Grinn, you know,
he's got that look, I'm good, bro, Bro, I'm good. Hey,
(20:22):
let's say I got my numbers. You know, It's like
he's he's like the dude in the gym. You go
to the gym who flexes in the mirror while the
rest of the team is puking in the corner, and
he's kind of looking himselves. Got a little chain on,
it's kind of flexing a little bit. Look at looking.
How good I look? Because he got stats? He did,
he got off to the ironic things. The Mets won
(20:43):
forty five games by June, and Soto was not playing
particularly great the first couple months of the year. He
started putting up numbers and the team actually got worse.
Explain that one to me, it happened. It absolutely happened,
and he got his numbers, he got a little Instagram highlights.
You know, the low information fan, the dumb fan gets
(21:04):
all horny for the stats. You know, the TikTok crowd.
They're all excited about that. And he'll sleep fine. I
don't even not worried about it. You think SODA's really
worried about it. You're not worried about that. He's gonna
sleep like Scrooge McDuck in a big pit of money.
All you losers to care about teams making the playoffs?
What's wrong with you? And all those Mets fans sitting
on that seven train, right and they're all bummed out
(21:27):
another season ending without the playoffs there and wondering what
the hell happened? And SODA's not worried about that. You've
got Soto whose contract is bigger than the GDP of
several countries. Right, it's just insane in the return on investment,
the ro O I for Juan Soto in terms of October.
(21:50):
Don't worry about any kind of October performance. He's not there.
It's pathetic and the Mets fans, who are the real
Met fan not the fake Met fan, the real Met
fan who's bleeding out on the operating table because their
team sucks again, it doesn't make the block. And then
you got your star player there, who's posing for selfies
in the hospital gift shop. Such a juxtaposition between Juan
(22:15):
Soto and the rest of the team. So you've got
Stephen Cohen, the owner of the Mets, and we all
remember he promised for the Mets. Owner promised for Leon.
He said, five years, we're gonna win a World Series.
Well this is I believe you're five. They don't even
make the playoffs. Instead of forlet mayon, you get a
nice plate of spam. That's it. Enjoy the spam and
(22:36):
expect some pink slips. Someone's losing their job, whether it's
the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the manager, or all
of the above. There will be some changes there coming
to the New York Metropolitans.

Four weeks into the NFL season and one of the teams,
one of the Darlings projected to go deep into the postseason,
already on thin ice, just four games into the NFL season.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to

on the mast. Insizeably powerful microphones of fs are ammating

has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, just like mister nice guy
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options that Kathy and Madison loved so much,
(25:26):
like mobile tire installation, ti iraq dot com the way
tire buying should be. That's what Alf and Fergdog tell me.
So I lead this hour from Camzaw City where the
Ben Mallard chicken fingers are piping hot there at the
landing in Liberty, Missouri, a great Mallor meet and greet
last November. It's almost been a year now, closing that
another month and a few days away from our last
(25:48):
get together there in Kansas City. But the Ravens in
town to take on the Chiefs. And one of these
teams was looking at a one in three start, the
other one back to five hundred, a lot on the line.
If you didn't see this game, you didn't miss much.
It was a domination situation. I was multitasking. Not only
was I observing in person the Indianapolis Colts, Danny Dimes
(26:11):
and the Colts taking on the rams that I was
monitoring the other games going on, including this one, and
not much, not much to worry about in this game,
as Patrick mahomes mahonee throwback performance there two hundred seventy
yards passing, not one, not two, not three, four touchdown passes,
a turn back to the clock. We're still good type story.
(26:34):
As the Chiefs get it done there. They jumped all
over the pathetic Ravens. They were missing by the time
the game hitded seven defensive starters and the backups. They
suck thirty seven twenty the victory there. In the matchup
of what had been AFC Bohaemos but not now. Kansas
(26:57):
City back to five hundred and they picked up a
game on the Chargers in the division, who lost to
the Giants. Now four different players spreading it around, four
different players caught touchdown passes from the Chiefs. Xavier Worthy
returned after missing a bunch of time there from the
shoulder injury, had five catches for eighty three yards. A
quiet performance by Travis Kelcey in this game. But Kansas
(27:20):
City's offense like a firecracker all of a sudden in
this game. They've been struggling and for the first three
games rather pathetic but not in this game. But the
better story, though, is in the losing locker room. So
let's focus in on the team from Maryland. As we
discussed the question how bad are things looking right now?
(27:42):
We do the show today, how bad are things looking
for John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens. They are one in three,
their quarterback is in the injury tent. How are things
looking for the Ravens? So I've got ASTech, Mark Twain
and Santa Claus and we will come all of these
things together and we're going to make delicious crustables, the
(28:07):
grape crustables. That's what we're gonna make there. Just absolutely
get so number number, yes, number one number all right
now on the patented Malard scale of panic, which homeless
Mike Contempee knows is the number one way to approach
when a team is having problems here. So on the
patented Mallard scale of panic one to ten, with ten
(28:31):
being getting a message on your phone that this is
not a warning there are ballistic missiles coming inbound. Number
when they accidentally did that in Hawaii few years back. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
So on that scale, i am at an eight point five.
I am at an eight point five for the Baltimore Ravens.
(28:54):
That's where I am the Ravens brand. What is the
Ravens brand. It has been defense machismo, which is toughness
and intimidation. That's the Ravens. That's always been the Ravens. Defensively,
this year they are bottom feeders. They are bottom feeders here.
Out gained in every single game, yes even against the Browns.
(29:17):
Out gained in every single game this season. They're thirty
second in total defense, which I'm told is not good.
They're also dead last in not just scoring defense, but
in total defense. They're dead last. They're giving up thirty
three point three points per game. They being the team
(29:37):
from Baltimore, which is half the sign of the Devil.
Three three three, half the sent of the Devil. You're
the Baltimore Ravens. Your entire identity, your entire identity is defense, defense, defense,
And now you are getting shish kebab shredded like taco
meat every single week, every single week here. And this
(30:02):
is a new low water mark. You figured coming off
the Monday night game against the Lions, which was pathetic.
You know, Okay, things are gonna be better. It's a
short week, but you can play a little bit better
and everyone figures things out defensively when they play Kansas City,
everyone's in a better mood when you play the Chiefs offense.
(30:22):
And they could have the way they played defense in
this game. They could have just put out that they
being the Ravens. They could have put out tackling dummies
on one side and traffic cones on the other and
the results would have been the same. And it's it's bad.
It's bad. How bad is it? It's so bad right
now that we're heading down a path where we're gonna
(30:43):
have an as tech like sacrifice. There's gonna be an
as tech like ritual sacrifice here. In terms of the
coaching staff, that defensive coordinator Zach Orr has to be
on borrowed time here, He's got to be on thin eyes. Injuries,
I believe I heard this from my mentor sports with
He told me that injury is a part of the game.
It's how you handle that and how you approach that
(31:06):
that matters. And you don't get trampled on. That's not
rising up next, man up, do your job. All that
crap that's getting punked, and the Ravens are getting punked
on a weekly basis here, So the easy move would
be to just dump Zach or get rid of him.
He's only been there a couple of years. And then
you've got Chuck Pagano who's on the staff. Although he's
(31:26):
not doing that great either, I believe he's the secondary coach.
You could elevate Pegano and make him the defensive coordinator
interim for the rest of the year. And John Harball
he's over there. He's worried about Lamar's hammy, which went whammy,
not hammy goes whammy for Lamar Jackson. Now, no update,
We're gonna get that later on Monday. There'll be a
(31:47):
battery of tests for Lamar Jackson. But he left the
game early. And we learned that Cooper Rush, Yes, that
Cooper Rush, the old cowboy guy. Cooper Rush is the
backup quarterback there for the Ravens. The Ravens in the
span of four weeks have gone from playoff lock, playoff
lock to Star Trek Beam me Up, Scottie in four weeks.
(32:10):
And they're not only banged up here at this particular point,
they're cursed. You've got Ronnie Stanley, Rokwan Smith, Marlon Humphrey,
somebody named Nate Higgott Wiggins and Lamar Jackson himself, all
of those players hobbling off the field like they were
extras in saving private Ryan there in that particular game.
And you look at the secondary and they blow. It's
(32:34):
like a pirate there. Sit blows. That's the Ravens secondary here,
and big old chunks. You get a chunk play, you
get a chunk play. You get a chunk play. And
so you are what your record says you are. Baltimore
is one in three at this point. They are at
the very bottom in many very important categories right now.
They are closer to getting a top five pick in
(32:56):
the twenty twenty six NFL Draft than they are being
a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Now, I will be Benny Brightside,
and I'm not gonna say here to say Ray Lewis
is walking back through that door. Ed Reid's walking back
through that door. But if you look at what has
happened in the division, the reason I'm at any point
five right now. But if you look at the big
picture here, you look at the Browns, same old sorry
(33:18):
ass Browns. They stuck. They're just terrible. The Bengals who
play on Monday night. They don't have Joe Burrow, he's
out for the year, and it looked like they had
never picked up a football when they played Minnesota last
week in their game. We'll see what they do against
the Broncos tonight, but they appear to not know whether
the ball is stuffed or puffed, and so we'll see
(33:39):
what happens in that game this weekend. So there's still
some avenues to go down. However, if Lamar Jackson obviously
is out for an extended period of time, then everything
becomes radioactive. It's like Chernobyl like with Lamar being out.
Good luck on that. Now, on the other side, page
two cans a city we go and how are things
(34:03):
looking for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after they get
back in the win column. So it's happy days are
here again and happy days are here again. Now, this
is exactly what the old doctor ordered there for Big
Red Andy Reid. They had not scored more than twenty
three points, they being the Chiefs all season, and then
they drop a thirty seven burger on top of the
(34:26):
Baltimore Ravens pathetic defense. Mahomes could have been wearing a
Hawaiian shirt out there sipping a my tie during the game.
That's how little resistance he faced by the Baltimore defense.
And it's like Mark Twain. The famous quote attributed to
Mark Twain. You don't know who that is. Bad job
by your teachers, but the famous quote is the reports
of the chief's death are greatly exaggerated. Everyone buried them.
(34:50):
And then Kansas City shows up. They had the oxygen,
they had the defibrillator ready to go.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
There.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
They zapp some life back into their season with that
win over the Ravens and all those think pieces, the
endless think pieces. The dynasty is over. Down goes Kansas City.
Not so fast, my friend, not so fast, not yet,
as the Kansas City able to get their mojoe back
at least for a day. And they were surgical in
(35:19):
this game. Seven scoring drives out of nine, seven out
of nine scoring drives, and they had one punt, only
won and missed a long field goal. That's it. That's
like Tiger Woods in his prime. Seven of nine. And
you know, parror better on every hole, par better on
(35:41):
every hole for the team from from Kansas City and
the little things. Four to four on fourth down, My
computer like man tells me that's one hundred percent, which
is I'm told is good. And it's not like trust
the process. It's not that that says that's stepping on
someone's throat when you go four to four on fourth down,
red zone, almost seventy sixty seven percent in the red
(36:04):
zone and actually finishing drives, not settling for all field
goals here. And then you got the Kansas City defense
and you said, what's going on with that? Well, Derrick Henry,
who had been the big bad Wolf of the NFL
and years pasty and neither hear sakwon Barkley's playing all
that well this year. Don't tell anybody, but Derrick Henry,
(36:25):
the big bad Wolf again boxed up like a clearance
item at over the Christmas holidays, which are coming up
forty two rushing yards now. To be fair, the Ravens
didn't run the ball that much because they were getting smoked.
They were being pull axed by Kansas City in this game.
But that's a shut off vault, a valve for the
defense there. For the Chiefs. They shut down, turned the
(36:47):
shut off valve on there, and for all the funeral
funeral potatoes that were being baked there for the Chiefs.
This game was a big shut up type mall for them.
Now you gotta follow it up. You know they're not dead.
They're not dead. They just needed the Ravens to show up.
And then all of a sudden, the Ravens showed up
(37:07):
and the red carpet was rolled out, and right this way,
right this way, step on up, step bought up, and
you're you're gonna feel really good, really good. If you
look at the Chiefs and this win. You need to
start stacking wins, right They always say we got stack wins? Well, okay,
is that a doable thing? Kansas City has run the gauntlet.
(37:29):
They had to play the Chargers, the Eagles, and now
you mix this game in with the Baltimore Ravens. They
also had the Giants, which is a cupcake, but you
look ahead him it's manageable. Next week the Chiefs play Jacksonville,
and even though Jacksonville has a nice record, we still
don't take them seriously. Then they have a showdown with
(37:51):
the Lions. That'll be a tough one. That's at Arrowhead,
I believe, And then they have the Raiders. So two
of the next three are certainly winnable games, and even
the Lions game when you have Mahomes, it's always a
winnable game in that particular situation. Now, meanwhile, as we
turn the page from Kansas City, we go to Jersey
mentioned the Giants. Here the Giants upset Jim Harbaughs Chargers
(38:13):
the question New York rookie quarterback Jackson Dart the toast
of the Big Apple. Here his debut as a starter
described as quote impressive. Do you agree or disagree that
Jackson Dart and his first start with the Giants was impressive?
So I saw this and it got my attention as
(38:34):
are you kidding me? Are you bloody kidding me? Here?
That was not impressive. That's not the word I would use.
My word for Jackson Dart and his debut there was
sufficient but not impressive. He was adequate. Jackson Dart was adequate.
He didn't hit the middle of the dart board. He
was on the dark board, but he didn't hit the
(38:54):
middle part of it. His longest completion was eighteen yards
in the game. That's it. Jackson Dart averaged five zero
point six yards per pass attempt. He was sacked five times.
He was sacked five times. He coughed up a fumble,
which he did recover, but he fumbled the ball. So
that's impressive. Really, people calling that impressive? How is that impressive?
(39:17):
Come on now, now, Jackson Dart did have fifty four
yards rushing, which is fine. I am I gonna sit
here and spit a loogie at fifty four yards rushing. However,
when your rushing average is almost identical to your yards
per pass attempt, which this is, by the way, that's
generally not good. That generally is not all that good.
(39:38):
And so it's not a guy who's tipping the bar,
and you know, it's like, come on, he just he
did enough. That's it, and that's what we're gonna leave
it here. And the expectations were if they were any
lower for a New York Giants quarterback, then they'd be
(39:59):
buried six feet under. Like that's how pathetic the Giants
are that Jackson Dart didn't really play all that well.
But it's like, oh, well, you look good. Oh my god,
he's so good. No, he's not. This was the Giants
essentially saying, hey, just don't get in the way. Justin
Herbert is giving us the game. Justin Herbert's handing us
the game. He's gift wrapped it like he's one of
(40:21):
the elves for Santa Claus and ten points. Two red
zone turnovers by Justin Herbert. Two turnovers deep inside. When
I said red zone, giving the Giants the ball deep inside,
charge your territory, both of them, both of them within
the five yard line, and that set up the Giants
(40:44):
off it. The Giants scored eleven points without Justin Herbert
handing the game and handing the football to the Giants.
Without that, they scored eleven points. That's it. So let's
not sit here and rewrite history on what happened. Jackson
Dart was not great, right, He wasn't good. He wasn't
even above average. He was passable. And that's how bad
(41:08):
the Giants quarterbacks have been. That passab will gets you
a little tingly, your little tingley because you got passable,
like moving man, our buddy the movie man's all excited
because he's all this is great and all this stuff,
and again it was it was just it wasn't above average.
It was just kind of passable, that was it. And
not impressible, ordinary, middling, those are other words we could use.

Buying showb so our lead this hour from Jerry's World
(01:58):
play the hit small Man play. As one of our
old bosses used to say, so, the most hype game
of the NFL weekend. You had Jordan Love and the
Packers versus Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, a lopsided match
up according to the gambling market one sided, supposed to
be a blowout. Then they played the game and we
(02:19):
know the biggest part of the hype for the game,
the build up was the side show. That was the
biggest thing here was It was Micah Parson's return to
the Death Star. And I don't know if you were
checking this out or not. Maybe you were burned out
from all the football throughout the day which started early.
There was a game in Ireland very early and continued
(02:43):
all this you might have missed it. And if you
missed it, you didn't really miss anything because the game
didn't end with a winner. We did not have a winner.
We had multiple losers, and the game came down to
the final second of overtime when Brian McManus booted a
thirty four yard field goal with just one second left.
(03:05):
Not to win the game, not to win the game,
No no, no, no no, not to win the game. Instead
to get a tie. To procure a tie. Forty forty
eighty points were scored in this game. Now, we usually
say the better stories in the losing locker room. Both
these teams losers lose ours, all right, So let us
(03:27):
discuss the question. Let's just get right into the nitty
gritty of this. Did Green Bays Micah Parsons raise his
game up to match the hype the much anticipated return
to Jerry's World? Did Micah Parsons live up to his
end of the bargain? So I've got diagnosis, kitty kat
(03:49):
and yoga, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make garlic potato knots is
what we're going to make slogans. Mix the potatoes together
with some post and holy anyway, all right, So, first
of all, to answer the question, did Green Bay's Micah
Parsons end up raising his game to match the stage
(04:14):
that he was on? And the only answer, and you
can't see me unless you're watching on the YouTube feed,
is I'm shaking my head. No, he did not. That
was revenge. That was Micah Parson's revenge. That was a
statement that you want defense, you go to Green Bay, baby.
The Packers are great defensively. You know what. That was
(04:35):
a lot of cardio. That was a cardio game for
Michah Parson. He was doing pilates out there. He wasn't
really playing football. He was doing pilates. Michaeh. Parsons did
more running around than actually making plays in this game,
much to the chagrin of the television executives who were
not obviously happy with this. But the guy was number
one in your program, right there, Michah Parsons number one,
(04:59):
unfortunately zero in the box score for ninety nine point
nine percent of this particular game. Getting a pity sack.
I called it a pity sack because if you were
watching the game, it didn't really look like a sack.
It didn't feel like a sack. It shouldn't have been
a sack. But the fugazy rules of the NFL, they
gave Michael Parsons a sack with four forty nine to
(05:22):
go in overtime four forty Even Dak Prescott after the
game was shocked. You kidding me? They gave him a
sack on that that's ridiculous, but they did so. Michael
Parsons did not raise his game. Now, we were not
shocked by this. We thought the Packers would win. If
you watched Benny versus the Penny. We certainly thought that
the Packers were gonna win this game by a wide margin.
(05:43):
We did not have on our Bengo card that the
team from Wisconsin would be that pathetic defensively. But then
Michael Parsons, we're talking about him right now, he did
not elevate his performance in this game. Now the NBC
brought If NBC was not showing MICHAEH. Parsons and then
(06:07):
shoving him down your throat like your parents would making
vegetables when your kid. It was like a medicine situation. Here,
take the pell, I don't want the pill, Take the pail.
I don't like I don't need the pell. Take the
damn pill. I don't want the pell. You gotta have
the pill. You wouldn't even known Michael Parsons was out there.
Every other snap was michae Caparson's. This MICHAEH. Parsons that
(06:29):
we knew what he had for breakfast, we knew what
he had for lunch, we knew what time he took
his bowel movement. We know everything about Michael Parsons. It
was unbelievable. That's in depth covers there. Michael Parsons is
a return to Jerry's world. Now Here is Michael Parsons,
the man of the hour who points out that he
didn't really do all that.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Well, I'm pissed, Uh, you know, I'm very disappointed overall
how we performed. Uh you know, I even told Jordan
to this side and you know, thank you for having
our back today. That's why so pivotal that you know
he played complimentary football, because today Jordan played like the
player he was, and we let him down. We at
(07:09):
little to the expectations.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
On defense, well, there was a lot of huffing and
puffing from Micah Parsons, stumbling and bumbling as well. So
they Mallard diagnosis, the overnight talk radio diagnosis from Micah
Parsons chronic case of tight toock his syndrome. Tight took
(07:31):
his syndrome for Michah Parsons shrinkage if you know what
I mean. Parsons treated his return to Jerry's world just
like a playoff game. And guess what he played like?
It was a playoff guy. He was nowhere, out there,
nowhere to be seen, got boxed up. He was neutered
by the Dallas Cowboys. Micah Parsons tossed in a boiling cauldron.
(07:56):
If you will here, Holy Toledo, he's bad. Highest paid
non quarterback in football. The guy blows, and that ninety sucks.
Man invisible man, the invisible man. And let's not bury
the lead, my man. We won't bury the lead. The
Green Bay Packers who followed up a loss a wake
up call. You lost to Cleveland because you were caught
(08:19):
looking ahead. Wake up call, loss, wake up call, loss
to the Browns. And what do you do? You come
back against a ragtag cowboy team and play to a tie.
The green Bay Packers are frauds. The green Bay Packers
are frauds. Pathetic and if I hear one more thing
(08:40):
about Oh the Packers, Dave just sucked. Good shoving up
your ass. They suck. They allowed the Dallas Cowboys without
Seedee Lamb to put up four hundred and thirty six
yards of offense forty points. Four hundred and thirty six
yards of offense forty points, and Dallas still tried to
lose again. They had eleven penalties for ninety five yards,
(09:03):
handing multiple first downs to the Green Bay Packers. And
then Jordan Love, he also tried to lose the game
as much as Micah Parsons was licking the toes of
Jordan Love. Jordan Love at the end. You talk about
bad situational awareness by Jordan Love at the end of
his game. Now he also had problems in the pocket,
(09:23):
bad pocket awareness. He was stripsacked on a fumble that
handed the Cowboys a touchdown. But late in the game,
My god, what a what a fraud. The Green Bay
Packers are total fool gayzy team, the Green Bay Packers,
My god. All right, Now, on the other side of things,
not the losing locker room, not the winning locker room,
(09:44):
the other part of the tie here. So how does
this tie play for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Right,
it's all about Micah, it was all about Jerry Jones. Well,
let's hear from Jerry Jones. And he felt bad for
the people that liked the Cowboys. He felt bad for
(10:04):
the people that like the cowboys. Tike, as there's.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Nobody in here obviously that I'm gonna let in any
way I can put the lost part of the tie
on them. I'm proud of this bunch. They competed their
tails off in here tonight. They competed out there at
the end when they were tired. I'm proud of them,
and I thought we played well enough to win the game.
(10:27):
I'm sick for these guys, sick for these players, sick
for these coaches, said well, mostly sick for our fans
if we didn't bring home or win. But I am
proud of the way we've competed tonight.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, it's good he's proud. Here's a glitch at the
end of that, But I'm glad that he's proud. It's
nice that he's Jerry's proud of you. Okay, here's more.
Here's Mike. Actually, here's Jerry Jones on whether or not
ties are necessary. Do we need ties in the NFL.
Here's Jerry Jones.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I don't want to That game was probably a great
game for the NFL as far as the showcase for
the game and competition, because you had outstanding quarterback play,
you had some very talented people out there playing. You
certainly had one of the most expensive players in the
history of the NFL out there playing. And so I
guess everybody was going to take a look tonight and
(11:16):
decide to see it work all there?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Okay, so apparently not. That's so backhanded shot there by
Jerry Jones. But here's the deal. To answer the question,
how does this tie and Micah Parsons return to Dallas
play for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, Well, it plays
so Jerry gets to strut around like a banti rooster
running around there. That's Jerry Jones, their chest puffed out.
(11:41):
His team didn't drown in the cheese fondue they were
supposed to drown in. They were supposed to go deep
down into that cheese fondue and not be able to
breathe there on Sunday night. And that's all it takes.
And the Cowboys didn't win the game. And if you
don't win, you're a loser. But they were a touchdown
underdog in this game. The gambling market had the Green
(12:02):
Bay Packers winning by a wide margin. Vegas basically told
the world in terms of this matchup here that the
Cowboys were going to get a Wisconsin baptism in boiling
cheddar and that certainly did not happen in this game.
And you say, well, Jerry Jones defense, the Cowboys defense
could not have stopped a leaky faucet. That is accurate.
(12:25):
In fact, how bad was it? The Green Bay Packers
went three touchdowns, two field goals on their second half
and overtime possessions. They had five possessions after halftime, three
touchdowns and two field goals. That's five scoring drives. My computer,
like brain tells me five scoring drives. And I think
(12:46):
that's all of the possessions. I believe. I think five
for five of my math is correct on that. But
Dallas still still despite that, ended up in a tie situation.
And all that matters to Jerry Jones is that Michaeh
Parson sucked. At any time, he cannot suck, vindicating his
(13:08):
trade of Michah Parsons. The guy's not a big game players.
That's the argument. When I was with the Cowboys, the
guy disappears, he comes tiny in big spots. And that
was what Michael Parsons did on this night. That's that
perfect capsule of Michael Parsons as an NFL player. Total
fraud in big games, total fraud. And Jerry Jones can
walk around smiling from ear to ear and all that
(13:30):
and postgame I saw some of the interview that Jerry did.
We played a couple of clips there for you, but
Jerry Jones, it was a kiddy cat moment for Jerry Jones.
He was like a cheshire cat's smile from ear to ears,
so happy, so happy. Right, I gets to sit there
in his luxury suite look down at all this waving
to the cameras, knowing that he's on the NBC feed
(13:52):
twenty times during the broadcast, and he can they can
pump out some of his classic quotes like the Gospel
of Jerry's World and all that stuff is just great.
And forget a tie, because that's a win, baby, for
Jerry Jones. That is a win for Jerry Jones. And
all you trash talking people. You can't talk trash to
Jerry Jones. Now he literally said afterwards in one of
(14:13):
the quotes I saw Dak he said, his indispensable Micah, isn't.
That's it. That's the end of the story there. So
Micah Parsons was supposed to be Lawrence Taylor two point
zero was supposed to be that when it mattered. You
didn't see him, say where'd he go? He's invisible? Where
did he go? Maybe he's having a snack. I don't
(14:34):
know where you went, jogging around like he's stuck in
molasses out there, the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL.
Everything is bigger in Dallas. If you happen to see
Jerry Jones postgame interview, everything's bigger. Even the cold sore
on Jerry's his lip. There very large, very very large there.
Man alive, my god. It's all part of the circus though.
(14:56):
It's all part of the circus at Jerry's world. There
the extra dry it's got eat it up and then wins,
losses or ties, win losses or ties, they're just the backdrop.
It's Jerry Jones doing performance art. That's what it does.
This was a a net positive for the Dallas Cowboys here.
Why because The Cowboys did not embarrass themselves. They didn't defensively,
(15:20):
but it didn't matter because the offense embarrassed the Green
Bay Packers, who are total Does anyone disagree with that?
By the way, how can you disagree that the Packers
are frost They lost at Cleveland. They gave the game
to clean ooy last week, and now they they lose
like in a game they had circled. The Cowboys pathetic
and so it's not the Cowboys that are laughing stock,
(15:41):
it's the Green Bay Packers. This is their time. They
went for it. They went We got Michael Parsons to
give up forty points in a big game that they
had circled. Man And you know, now Jerry can crow
about Michael Parsons being expendable and go on and on
about that, going to challenge him, not at this point
(16:01):
all right now quickly, I know this is an NFL
Sunday to a Monday, and very rarely do we ever
talk about anything other than football on a Sunday into
a Monday. However, this is an exception to the rule.
There's such a juicy story I cannot avoid it. In
Major League Baseball, the regular season came to an end
in baseball, and it ended with an awesome dud. Just
(16:25):
an amazing collapse in baseball. Congratulations to the Metropolitans and
just a wonderful job. Good job boys, way to go
if you've missed it. The Mets needed the Reds to
lose and then they had the win to f things
up in the baseball playoff race. Because it was the
last day of the year, the Reds had a one
(16:46):
game lead. So what happened. The Reds lost their game.
Everyone was playing at the same time. The Reds lost
their game. So the Mets all they had to do
was beat the Marlins, the lowly pathetic Marlins who haven't
tried to win in years, and the Mets do they
do bupkis. They went out there and got shut out
and Francisco Lindor ended up hitting to a double play.
(17:07):
Good afternoon, good evening, good night. Turn in your uniforms.
Your season is over over, So Cincinnati will play the Dodgers.
Advice to the Reds get into that Dodger bullpen, keep
the game close in the late innings. You'll have a
good chance to win the game. But the Reds and
Dodgers will play New York. Now their next opponent can
(17:28):
kun suntan lotion. That's the next opponent for the Mets.
Chances are they'll probably drown in suntan lotionan somewhere on
a tropical resort down in the Bahamas. Now the question here,
can you explain? Can you explain the twenty twenty five
New York Mets failing to make the playoffs? Playoffs? Can
(17:50):
you explain the twenty twenty five Mets failing to make
the playoffs? So this is perfection, this is dotting the eye. Now,
I don't enjoy this as much as I enjoyed the
cheating es one one thousand and two, one thousand holes
not making the playoffs, haha, losers. But I did enjoy
the Mets not getting it done. And you've got owner
(18:12):
of Steve Cone who is playing monopoly with real cash,
just burning money, just burning money. One Soto seven hundred
and sixty five million dollar outfielder, Juan Soto, who was
supposed to be the Messiah, the great Savior, and flushing
and another season you can flush down the toilet there
(18:32):
for the Mets. Now, did one Soto care? And we
know what he said afterwards? You think he actually cared
Jan Soda. I didn't get that vibe. I never get
the vibe from Juan Soto that he's really that upset
by anything the team does. He does get upset when
he doesn't get his stats. He's annoyed by that. But
in terms of wins and losses for the team, I
(18:54):
don't get that sense. Sodo is. He just doesn't give
that vibe like he cares about any thing in terms
of winning and losing. Here Sodo is just happy because
if you click on his baseball reference page later on Monday,
it'll look really shiny, really sexy, some good numbers, the
standing standing schmandings. Who cares about the standings there? And
(19:17):
he's really into yoga. Juan Soto, he led the Mets
in Downward Dog. Downward Dog. There went from best record
in baseball a couple months into the season to playing
like those hungry puppies chasing after scraps. That's the Mets.
(19:38):
Forty five wins by June. For the New York Metropolitans
forty five wins by June, and then they turned into
the bad news bears of baseball with better uniforms. Three
hundred and forty million dollars circus act. The Mets the
highest payroll in baseball, and they couldn't outlast the Cincinnati Reds.
(19:59):
For crime out loud, How crazy is that? How wild
is that the Reds are in the playoffs and the Mets,
the big, bad, big Apple Mets are not in the playoffs.
And while all of this is going down, all of
this is going down, you've got one Soto. He's got
that kind of Hey, I'm good, bro, Grinn, you know,
he's got that look, I'm good, bro, Bro, I'm good. Hey,
(20:22):
let's say I got my numbers. You know, It's like
he's he's like the dude in the gym. You go
to the gym who flexes in the mirror while the
rest of the team is puking in the corner, and
he's kind of looking himselves. Got a little chain on,
it's kind of flexing a little bit. Look at looking.
How good I look? Because he got stats? He did,
he got off to the ironic things. The Mets won
(20:43):
forty five games by June, and Soto was not playing
particularly great the first couple months of the year. He
started putting up numbers and the team actually got worse.
Explain that one to me, it happened. It absolutely happened,
and he got his numbers, he got a little Instagram highlights.
You know, the low information fan, the dumb fan gets
(21:04):
all horny for the stats. You know, the TikTok crowd.
They're all excited about that. And he'll sleep fine. I
don't even not worried about it. You think SODA's really
worried about it. You're not worried about that. He's gonna
sleep like Scrooge McDuck in a big pit of money.
All you losers to care about teams making the playoffs?
What's wrong with you? And all those Mets fans sitting
on that seven train, right and they're all bummed out
(21:27):
another season ending without the playoffs there and wondering what
the hell happened? And SODA's not worried about that. You've
got Soto whose contract is bigger than the GDP of
several countries. Right, it's just insane in the return on investment,
the ro O I for Juan Soto in terms of October.
(21:50):
Don't worry about any kind of October performance. He's not there.
It's pathetic and the Mets fans, who are the real
Met fan not the fake Met fan, the real Met
fan who's bleeding out on the operating table because their
team sucks again, it doesn't make the block. And then
you got your star player there, who's posing for selfies
in the hospital gift shop. Such a juxtaposition between Juan
(22:15):
Soto and the rest of the team. So you've got
Stephen Cohen, the owner of the Mets, and we all
remember he promised for the Mets. Owner promised for Leon.
He said, five years, we're gonna win a World Series.
Well this is I believe you're five. They don't even
make the playoffs. Instead of forlet mayon, you get a
nice plate of spam. That's it. Enjoy the spam and
(22:36):
expect some pink slips. Someone's losing their job, whether it's
the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the manager, or all
of the above. There will be some changes there coming
to the New York Metropolitans.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Four weeks into the NFL season and one of the teams,
one of the Darlings projected to go deep into the postseason,
already on thin ice, just four games into the NFL season.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

So I lead this hour from Camzaw City where the
Ben Mallard chicken fingers are piping hot there at the
landing in Liberty, Missouri, a great Mallor meet and greet
last November. It's almost been a year now, closing that
another month and a few days away from our last
(25:48):
get together there in Kansas City. But the Ravens in
town to take on the Chiefs. And one of these
teams was looking at a one in three start, the
other one back to five hundred, a lot on the line.
If you didn't see this game, you didn't miss much.
It was a domination situation. I was multitasking. Not only
was I observing in person the Indianapolis Colts, Danny Dimes
(26:11):
and the Colts taking on the rams that I was
monitoring the other games going on, including this one, and
not much, not much to worry about in this game,
as Patrick mahomes mahonee throwback performance there two hundred seventy
yards passing, not one, not two, not three, four touchdown passes,
a turn back to the clock. We're still good type story.
(26:34):
As the Chiefs get it done there. They jumped all
over the pathetic Ravens. They were missing by the time
the game hitded seven defensive starters and the backups. They
suck thirty seven twenty the victory there. In the matchup
of what had been AFC Bohaemos but not now. Kansas
(26:57):
City back to five hundred and they picked up a
game on the Chargers in the division, who lost to
the Giants. Now four different players spreading it around, four
different players caught touchdown passes from the Chiefs. Xavier Worthy
returned after missing a bunch of time there from the
shoulder injury, had five catches for eighty three yards. A
quiet performance by Travis Kelcey in this game. But Kansas
(27:20):
City's offense like a firecracker all of a sudden in
this game. They've been struggling and for the first three
games rather pathetic but not in this game. But the
better story, though, is in the losing locker room. So
let's focus in on the team from Maryland. As we
discussed the question how bad are things looking right now?
(27:42):
We do the show today, how bad are things looking
for John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens. They are one in three,
their quarterback is in the injury tent. How are things
looking for the Ravens? So I've got ASTech, Mark Twain
and Santa Claus and we will come all of these
things together and we're going to make delicious crustables, the
(28:07):
grape crustables. That's what we're gonna make there. Just absolutely
get so number number, yes, number one number all right
now on the patented Malard scale of panic, which homeless
Mike Contempee knows is the number one way to approach
when a team is having problems here. So on the
patented Mallard scale of panic one to ten, with ten
(28:31):
being getting a message on your phone that this is
not a warning there are ballistic missiles coming inbound. Number
when they accidentally did that in Hawaii few years back. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
So on that scale, i am at an eight point five.
I am at an eight point five for the Baltimore Ravens.
(28:54):
That's where I am the Ravens brand. What is the
Ravens brand. It has been defense machismo, which is toughness
and intimidation. That's the Ravens. That's always been the Ravens. Defensively,
this year they are bottom feeders. They are bottom feeders here.
Out gained in every single game, yes even against the Browns.
(29:17):
Out gained in every single game this season. They're thirty
second in total defense, which I'm told is not good.
They're also dead last in not just scoring defense, but
in total defense. They're dead last. They're giving up thirty
three point three points per game. They being the team
(29:37):
from Baltimore, which is half the sign of the Devil.
Three three three, half the sent of the Devil. You're
the Baltimore Ravens. Your entire identity, your entire identity is defense, defense, defense,
And now you are getting shish kebab shredded like taco
meat every single week, every single week here. And this
(30:02):
is a new low water mark. You figured coming off
the Monday night game against the Lions, which was pathetic.
You know, Okay, things are gonna be better. It's a
short week, but you can play a little bit better
and everyone figures things out defensively when they play Kansas City,
everyone's in a better mood when you play the Chiefs offense.
(30:22):
And they could have the way they played defense in
this game. They could have just put out that they
being the Ravens. They could have put out tackling dummies
on one side and traffic cones on the other and
the results would have been the same. And it's it's bad.
It's bad. How bad is it? It's so bad right
now that we're heading down a path where we're gonna
(30:43):
have an as tech like sacrifice. There's gonna be an
as tech like ritual sacrifice here. In terms of the
coaching staff, that defensive coordinator Zach Orr has to be
on borrowed time here, He's got to be on thin eyes. Injuries,
I believe I heard this from my mentor sports with
He told me that injury is a part of the game.
It's how you handle that and how you approach that
(31:06):
that matters. And you don't get trampled on. That's not
rising up next, man up, do your job. All that
crap that's getting punked, and the Ravens are getting punked
on a weekly basis here, So the easy move would
be to just dump Zach or get rid of him.
He's only been there a couple of years. And then
you've got Chuck Pagano who's on the staff. Although he's
(31:26):
not doing that great either, I believe he's the secondary coach.
You could elevate Pegano and make him the defensive coordinator
interim for the rest of the year. And John Harball
he's over there. He's worried about Lamar's hammy, which went whammy,
not hammy goes whammy for Lamar Jackson. Now, no update,
We're gonna get that later on Monday. There'll be a
(31:47):
battery of tests for Lamar Jackson. But he left the
game early. And we learned that Cooper Rush, Yes, that
Cooper Rush, the old cowboy guy. Cooper Rush is the
backup quarterback there for the Ravens. The Ravens in the
span of four weeks have gone from playoff lock, playoff
lock to Star Trek Beam me Up, Scottie in four weeks.
(32:10):
And they're not only banged up here at this particular point,
they're cursed. You've got Ronnie Stanley, Rokwan Smith, Marlon Humphrey,
somebody named Nate Higgott Wiggins and Lamar Jackson himself, all
of those players hobbling off the field like they were
extras in saving private Ryan there in that particular game.
And you look at the secondary and they blow. It's
(32:34):
like a pirate there. Sit blows. That's the Ravens secondary here,
and big old chunks. You get a chunk play, you
get a chunk play. You get a chunk play. And
so you are what your record says you are. Baltimore
is one in three at this point. They are at
the very bottom in many very important categories right now.
They are closer to getting a top five pick in
(32:56):
the twenty twenty six NFL Draft than they are being
a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Now, I will be Benny Brightside,
and I'm not gonna say here to say Ray Lewis
is walking back through that door. Ed Reid's walking back
through that door. But if you look at what has
happened in the division, the reason I'm at any point
five right now. But if you look at the big
picture here, you look at the Browns, same old sorry
(33:18):
ass Browns. They stuck. They're just terrible. The Bengals who
play on Monday night. They don't have Joe Burrow, he's
out for the year, and it looked like they had
never picked up a football when they played Minnesota last
week in their game. We'll see what they do against
the Broncos tonight, but they appear to not know whether
the ball is stuffed or puffed, and so we'll see
(33:39):
what happens in that game this weekend. So there's still
some avenues to go down. However, if Lamar Jackson obviously
is out for an extended period of time, then everything
becomes radioactive. It's like Chernobyl like with Lamar being out.
Good luck on that. Now, on the other side, page
two cans a city we go and how are things
(34:03):
looking for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after they get
back in the win column. So it's happy days are
here again and happy days are here again. Now, this
is exactly what the old doctor ordered there for Big
Red Andy Reid. They had not scored more than twenty
three points, they being the Chiefs all season, and then
they drop a thirty seven burger on top of the
(34:26):
Baltimore Ravens pathetic defense. Mahomes could have been wearing a
Hawaiian shirt out there sipping a my tie during the game.
That's how little resistance he faced by the Baltimore defense.
And it's like Mark Twain. The famous quote attributed to
Mark Twain. You don't know who that is. Bad job
by your teachers, but the famous quote is the reports
of the chief's death are greatly exaggerated. Everyone buried them.
(34:50):
And then Kansas City shows up. They had the oxygen,
they had the defibrillator ready to go.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
There.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
They zapp some life back into their season with that
win over the Ravens and all those think pieces, the
endless think pieces. The dynasty is over. Down goes Kansas City.
Not so fast, my friend, not so fast, not yet,
as the Kansas City able to get their mojoe back
at least for a day. And they were surgical in
(35:19):
this game. Seven scoring drives out of nine, seven out
of nine scoring drives, and they had one punt, only
won and missed a long field goal. That's it. That's
like Tiger Woods in his prime. Seven of nine. And
you know, parror better on every hole, par better on
(35:41):
every hole for the team from from Kansas City and
the little things. Four to four on fourth down, My
computer like man tells me that's one hundred percent, which
is I'm told is good. And it's not like trust
the process. It's not that that says that's stepping on
someone's throat when you go four to four on fourth down,
red zone, almost seventy sixty seven percent in the red
(36:04):
zone and actually finishing drives, not settling for all field
goals here. And then you got the Kansas City defense
and you said, what's going on with that? Well, Derrick Henry,
who had been the big bad Wolf of the NFL
and years pasty and neither hear sakwon Barkley's playing all
that well this year. Don't tell anybody, but Derrick Henry,
(36:25):
the big bad Wolf again boxed up like a clearance
item at over the Christmas holidays, which are coming up
forty two rushing yards now. To be fair, the Ravens
didn't run the ball that much because they were getting smoked.
They were being pull axed by Kansas City in this game.
But that's a shut off vault, a valve for the
defense there. For the Chiefs. They shut down, turned the
(36:47):
shut off valve on there, and for all the funeral
funeral potatoes that were being baked there for the Chiefs.
This game was a big shut up type mall for them.
Now you gotta follow it up. You know they're not dead.
They're not dead. They just needed the Ravens to show up.
And then all of a sudden, the Ravens showed up
(37:07):
and the red carpet was rolled out, and right this way,
right this way, step on up, step bought up, and
you're you're gonna feel really good, really good. If you
look at the Chiefs and this win. You need to
start stacking wins, right They always say we got stack wins? Well, okay,
is that a doable thing? Kansas City has run the gauntlet.
(37:29):
They had to play the Chargers, the Eagles, and now
you mix this game in with the Baltimore Ravens. They
also had the Giants, which is a cupcake, but you
look ahead him it's manageable. Next week the Chiefs play Jacksonville,
and even though Jacksonville has a nice record, we still
don't take them seriously. Then they have a showdown with
(37:51):
the Lions. That'll be a tough one. That's at Arrowhead,
I believe, And then they have the Raiders. So two
of the next three are certainly winnable games, and even
the Lions game when you have Mahomes, it's always a
winnable game in that particular situation. Now, meanwhile, as we
turn the page from Kansas City, we go to Jersey
mentioned the Giants. Here the Giants upset Jim Harbaughs Chargers
(38:13):
the question New York rookie quarterback Jackson Dart the toast
of the Big Apple. Here his debut as a starter
described as quote impressive. Do you agree or disagree that
Jackson Dart and his first start with the Giants was impressive?
So I saw this and it got my attention as
(38:34):
are you kidding me? Are you bloody kidding me? Here?
That was not impressive. That's not the word I would use.
My word for Jackson Dart and his debut there was
sufficient but not impressive. He was adequate. Jackson Dart was adequate.
He didn't hit the middle of the dart board. He
was on the dark board, but he didn't hit the
(38:54):
middle part of it. His longest completion was eighteen yards
in the game. That's it. Jackson Dart averaged five zero
point six yards per pass attempt. He was sacked five times.
He was sacked five times. He coughed up a fumble,
which he did recover, but he fumbled the ball. So
that's impressive. Really, people calling that impressive? How is that impressive?
(39:17):
Come on now, now, Jackson Dart did have fifty four
yards rushing, which is fine. I am I gonna sit
here and spit a loogie at fifty four yards rushing. However,
when your rushing average is almost identical to your yards
per pass attempt, which this is, by the way, that's
generally not good. That generally is not all that good.
(39:38):
And so it's not a guy who's tipping the bar,
and you know, it's like, come on, he just he
did enough. That's it, and that's what we're gonna leave
it here. And the expectations were if they were any
lower for a New York Giants quarterback, then they'd be
(39:59):
buried six feet under. Like that's how pathetic the Giants
are that Jackson Dart didn't really play all that well.
But it's like, oh, well, you look good. Oh my god,
he's so good. No, he's not. This was the Giants
essentially saying, hey, just don't get in the way. Justin
Herbert is giving us the game. Justin Herbert's handing us
the game. He's gift wrapped it like he's one of
(40:21):
the elves for Santa Claus and ten points. Two red
zone turnovers by Justin Herbert. Two turnovers deep inside. When
I said red zone, giving the Giants the ball deep inside,
charge your territory, both of them, both of them within
the five yard line, and that set up the Giants
(40:44):
off it. The Giants scored eleven points without Justin Herbert
handing the game and handing the football to the Giants.
Without that, they scored eleven points. That's it. So let's
not sit here and rewrite history on what happened. Jackson
Dart was not great, right, He wasn't good. He wasn't
even above average. He was passable. And that's how bad
(41:08):
the Giants quarterbacks have been. That passab will gets you
a little tingly, your little tingley because you got passable,
like moving man, our buddy the movie man's all excited
because he's all this is great and all this stuff,
and again it was it was just it wasn't above average.
It was just kind of passable, that was it. And
not impressible, ordinary, middling, those are other words we could use.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
