This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Back in the win column. Welcome in the beginning of
another night and another week of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere making a connections. We
steamroll through coast, border to border and beyond on the
(01:03):
vast and sizzling lead powerful microphones of fs are amminating
live from the Hammer the Sledgehammer Squad, if you will,

mobile tire installation tire iraq dot Com the way the
tire Buying show b So our lead this hour and
decis don't to go with the baseball. But the baseball
game was not all that great. I'm sorry JJ and
Retten and Nostradinas and all that. So the football game
(02:09):
there was more juice, and I go where the juice is.
That's the mantra. You start out where the better story
isn't the better story the Sunday night NFL game. So
that is where we will begin. We will get to
the baseball later. It will start at Arrowhead Stadium, just
down the street from the home of the Bain Mallard
Chicken Fingers had a great Mallard meet and greet by
(02:30):
a year ago last November. There was wonderful just a
Smorgesborg of chicken fingers in the air everywhere there at
the landing in Liberty, Missouri. But on Sunday night, an
island game. We love our island games. Explain that over
the weekend on the Fifth Hour podcast, which I know
you listened to you heard the Fifth Hour podcast every
(02:51):
single FN day on the weekends. So the Detroit Lions
roared into Cansau City for the little playdate with the Chiefs.
That was the setup, that was the matchup. And I
don't know if you're watching this, the baseball game was
going on. It was a quick NFL game, pretty fast
NFL game. Baseball games start a little bit before the
game in the NFL. So if you're not watching Patrick Mahomes,
(03:16):
wake up the echos. Two hundred and fifty seven yards
passing three touchdowns. You also scrambled for another score. And
Malon Matth tells me that's four touchdowns for Patrick Mahomes
and he led the Chiefs to a thirty to seventeen
win over the Detroit football team as Marquise Hollywood Brown
(03:36):
had two touchdown receptions Xavier Worthy had another. The Chiefs
get back to five hundred at three and three on
the season. They played a near flawless game. More on
that coming up in a little bit there. They had
no penalties, no penalties for the Chiefs, no turnovers. This
is one week after you get a penalty, you get
(03:58):
a penalty, you get a penalty and that Monday night game,
that last second loss, when the Chiefs defense stood around
and watched the klutz quarterback for Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence, fall
down multiple times and then go in the end zone
because Chris Jones decided he want to hustle. I want
a dubby anyway. So the Chiefs bounce back and they
(04:19):
get to win here. And the better story, though, is
in the losing locker room the Detroit Lions following the loss.
We had a rhubarb that took place there following the loss,
as the Lion's safety Brian Branch boiling over and got
into it. He refused to do a postgame clappity clap
(04:42):
dappity DApp with Patrick Mahomes, and Branch instead decided he
wanted to deliver a right hook to a man wearing
a helmet, which generally is not a great idea, but
he decided to do it anyway, and he threw a
punch there at Juju Smith Schuster. After the end of
the game, the teams come and together to exchange niceties.
That didn't seem very nice, but I don't know, maybe
(05:04):
it was. It was like a nice friendly punch could
have been there right at midfield. So let us discuss
the question how disappointing, how disappointing is this overall performance
for Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions as they end up on
the wrong side of the scoreboard and not even close
(05:24):
in the second half. So I've got ice bucket, toy Poodle,
and Mighty Mississippi and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to put the biscuit
in the basket, is what we're going to do. So
a this one obviously stinks. It's like a sting from
a hornet for the Lions here because this was supposed
(05:47):
to be as well. The Chiefs aren't that good, but
still they're at home. It's prime time. You're going against
Mahomes and those guys. So this is a measuring stick
situation for Detroit, a barometer about where you are right
now and how you and a little bit of a
gut check even though the Chiefs don't have a great record,
and so where do you actually stand? Let's see where
do you actually stand? Man? Okay, big boy stage right
(06:11):
there Monday night or Sunday night rather with NBC and
all that, and how'd that work out? Yeah, on this night,
on that particular night, Sunday night. You did not measure up.
You just didn't. The game was not even really close
in the second half, right, it was not. You watched
the end. The Chiefs were in total control of this thing.
(06:31):
And this wasn't cute little Detroit hosting the Chicago Bears
in Motown on a Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. This
was not that. This was Zarohead National TV, big bright
lights and all that stuff, supposedly big boy football for
the Lions here and an angry Kansas City Chiefs team,
(06:53):
and we saw what happened for the past month. Dan
Campbell's Lions were the nfs IT team. I was asking
my weekly appearance on with my friend Bob Fesco show
in Kansas City there on our affiliate in the mornings
on Thursdays, I pop on there and said, well, it's
the top team in the NFL. I think Dusty might
have asked me that, and I said, well, right now,
(07:14):
the Lions, the Lions that they were the one that
stood out. And so the Lions go out there and
get whooped, whooped, he whooped in the second half of
this game here. So all the attitude and the fake kneecap,
biting all of that. So then Mahomes and the Chiefs
come out and absolutely slap them in the mouth in
(07:37):
the second half of this game. And some will say,
well the Lions were shorthanded, their defense was missing some
people and all that. Well, you still have to play
the game. You play the game with who with who's
out there, and no excuses. And Kansas City again defensively,
they controlled the game and offense compared to how they
had played recently. This was a night day throwback performance,
(08:02):
vintage performance here. Twenty six first downs, three hundred and
fifty five yards, the Chiefs toying with them in the
first half, and then never trailed after halftime. They led
from soup to nuts in the second half all the
way through. And Aiden Hutchinson, that Detroit defense looking like
(08:24):
a team there that was taking part in the ice
buck bucket challenge, and they did not handle the ice water,
did not handle that very well. There, they got hypothermia.
Bad job by them, reality check, slap boom, all that stuff.
As they go down the Lions go down there. Now,
Dan Campbell is the head coach of the Detroit football team,
(08:47):
and we're gonna get his comments in a minute, Let's
go to Jared Golf though. Here's Jared Goff. This is
Jared Goff on the ineptitude of the Detroit Lions. Take
a listen.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
On offense, I thought we had moved the ball decently,
I think limited possessions certainly, and so were they on offense.
We were kind of both playing that game of long possessions.
And when you play that game, you gotta score. You
gotta finish in with touchdowns, and they did and we
did that first drive getting the touchdown had been nice
field goals, you know, consolation prize there, But then we
had a couple of drives we just didn't wait three
an hour or five an hour at front and yeah,
(09:18):
so if you're going to play that time with possession game,
you gotta score at the end of them. And they
did it more than we did.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So clearly my TV is not working because I did
not see that game. I did not see the game
that Jared Goff described there at all. I think Jared
Goff matter have had a concussion or something like that.
That was a welcome back to Earth situation for the
MotorCity kiddies. Now, let's not gloss over. Let us knock
gloss over the end of the game as safety Brian
(09:43):
Branch refusing the niceties from Patrick Mahomes. As we said
there Mahomes offering to give him a handshake or a
little fist bump there, and instead he decided to wallop.
It was a mollywob Juju Smith Schuster in the helmet.
It's dumb because the guy's wearing a helmet, so's it's
just stupid because the guy's got a helmet on and
(10:05):
all that stuff and not exactly a real tough guy move.
You're not Rocky Balboa out there, and you're the guy
the Lions here who got knocked out in the third
and fourth round. And then your guy threw a tantrum
after the game. Who goofed? I've got to know on
the way out the now the Lions are good and
(10:27):
all that, but that was pretty pathetic. Here's Dan Campbell
on the extra curricular activities post game in Arrowhead.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I'm disappointed because you know, it's been a long time
since you're watching somebody kneel it three times in front
of you and it's not even close. You know, you're
down two scores. I mean, we got we got worked
pretty good. So so yeah, it's disappointing. It's really disappointing.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, well, the Lions go down there, the Chiefs still
at the grown up table there, moving on to the
other side, and that would be the winning side, the
Kansas City side from their perspective. Does this count? Here's
the question. Does this count as a state victory for
Andy Reid and the Chiefs here in Week six? Alright,
(11:15):
So now here's the problem. That was a statement win
as much as a Week six NFL game can be
a statement win.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Mahomes and Kelsey were wobbly, very wobbly for the beginning
part of the season, and and so this was one
of those situations like, hey, we're still around, you know,
remember us, We're still here. We haven't left, We're just
off to the side, and you know, we have every
intent of still being here at the end of the
(11:47):
year and all that stuff. And there was just a
little more juice, just a little more right there for
one night anyway, whether this has any kind of continuation
or not, for one night, the Chiefs looked like the
Chiefs of recent years, and you know they is that
going to continue?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Ive?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Who knows, We'll see the swagger was back there. That
was like a toy poodle marking its territory on a hydrant,
if you know what I mean. Right there, they you know,
nobody beats the whiz. They took care of that right there.
You could see from the opening drive that say, hey,
this is our house and all that stuff, and they
went there two hundred and fifty seven yards to get
(12:26):
from whomes. She had three touchdown passes, one touchdown on
the ground, So all around, sharing the sugar and the
defense for Kansasy, which was good in Jacksonville. It's not
like they were bad in Jacksonville until the final play
when they stood there and watched Lawrence fumble and futs
around and getting the end zone and all that stuff.
But the second half that is when Detroit really flexed, right,
(12:48):
they really did. Detroit's firepower was totally neutralized in the
second half of this game. I'm on Ross Saint Brown
rather quiet. Jared Goff, despite what he said, nothing special, nothing,
just kind of a blah blah type situation, couldn't get
much of anything other than those checkdowns. Charlie checked down
for much of the second half there for the Detroit
(13:09):
Lions and so they scored seven points over the final
thirty minutes. Now, I didn't plan in the NFL, so
I off to check with Ryan Clark on this. But
I don't think that's good. I don't think that's good.
And so Kansas City and then slamming the door shut.
And a credit to Steve Spagnolo, the defensive coordinator there
is his guys were flying all over the place in
(13:30):
this one. And that is the first time in weeks
that I have watched Kansas City and thought, Okay, there
you go. All that crap. They would say, Wow, championship,
DNA and all that stuff. That's that's it the mode
Joe Potato, big time win, big time win. So there
you go. That's the roadside billboard the Chiefs have put
(13:52):
up for the rest of the NFL said you thought
we were slipping, I think again. Now. They had looked
like a team that was sleepwalking, losing to all the
good teams they had played, and then beating the bad
teams they had played. And this is the first quality
opponent the Chiefs had beaten. The Ravens are a bad team.
(14:15):
The Giants are a bad team, but they would last week.
They're still a bad team. You know, don't mistake Jackson
Dart playing well, they didn't play that game. That was
a Russell Wilson game. That started the Sunday night game
against can Zaw City. So everything seemed like it was
in place. Even Andy Reid's mustache seemed like it belonged there,
(14:35):
It had extra hair to it. It was good to
go there. So the lesson do not sleep, do not
sleep on the Chiefs there. They are still the standard,
the gold standard in the AFC. And you know here
we'll see Buffalo plays on Monday Night, the Bills play,
I believe Atlanta on the Monday night card. And that's
(14:56):
the other team. I mean, you look around, who else
the Ravens falling apart Pittsburgh's four and one? Are you
considering them legit in the AFC? The Chargers? Who's the team?
All right? Now, last word, let's address the heel, A
monster in the room, the story that everyone will be
talking about over the next twenty four hours when they
(15:16):
talk about the NFL weekend. And that'll be one week,
one week after it was uglee with a capitol U
ugu lee for the Chiefs. They flipped the script in
this game against the Lions. I'm talking about from the
officiating standpoint on Sunday, the Detroit Lions the opponent. There
(15:39):
there were no accepted penalties, none, none. Against Kansas City.
Detroit declined an offside penalty on Chris Jones late in
the fourth quarter. But that's it, that's all. That's all
there was. Detroit was penalized four times for thirty eight yards,
(15:59):
and those mistakes swung the game. All four of them
swung the game. It's not my opinion, it's a fact.
You can go down point by point. An illegal motion
penalty wiped out a trick play touchdown on the first
quarter against Detroit. There was a defensive pass interference call
that extended Kansas City's go ahead drive before halftime. The
(16:22):
roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter set up
a touchdown that pushed the Chiefs lead to double digits.
So you see where I'm going with this. Now, question
here's the question, what do you make of the Chiefs
being we are told the second team in the last
seventy years, just the second team in the last seventy years,
(16:43):
to have no accepted penalties against them in a regulation
NFL game. It's only the second time in seventy years
that this has happened. So this one, hey, it smells
all right, I mean, just call like it's the smells does?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It reeks of the shield doing what the shield does best,
protecting the crown jewel. And I'm not above buying into
a conspiracy. I'm not. I mean, but he didn't say
by the fourth quarter, I didn't notice the body language
of the Detroit line. Some of the guys in the secondary.
It looked like they were in a telephone tree with
(17:22):
the irs and they were getting bounced around and all
that stuff. Detroit had measured the fourth penalties for thirty
eight yards in this game, and just about every single
one of them, as we laid out here, took points
off the board or helped Kansas City put points on
the board. And that is not just bad luck. Okay,
that's not just bad luck. That is again the heal
(17:43):
of monster in the room biting the kneecap, nibble, nibble, nibble,
right at the kneecap there. And this is the part,
this is the part where the NFL deep state comes
slithering right out. Now. Is that the Taylor Swift effect,
(18:05):
is that what that is was a phone call made.
Was this a point of reference, a point of emphasis
for the NFL referees in this game? It stands out
so much that it'd be hard to believe for a
rational person that this was not a point of emphasis
(18:25):
for the NFL. The officials are given their directions before
every game what to look for, what's a point of emphasis.
I find it impossible that a message was not sent
down to just kind of observe and only call the
obvious penalties. Don't interfere with Kansas City at all. And
(18:47):
you've got the most marketable pop star on the planet
who's now an NFL wag wag Wag wag wag. She's
a wag. Yeah, And you think the league wants a
sub five hundred two four Kansas City team they lose
this game, they'd be two and four. Please, no, No.
They want those cutaways, those reaction shots, they want the
(19:09):
merch sales, the TV hype. Is it built in? It's
baked into the NFL. It's absolutely baked in. And this game,
with the lack of penalties, was the shortest Sunday night
game in fourteen years. It's been fourteen years, fourth shortest ever,
(19:29):
fourth shortest ever. And of course, how does that happen.
That happens because there's no those no penalty flags of
the officials. I'm sure it was just a kuinkie dink
that they decided to swallow the whistle like they were
entering the witness protection program and they're like, it's like
those kids. Kids are supposed to be seen, not heard.
And that's the referees there. And then when the NFL
(19:50):
wants that's the lesson. When the NFL wants a game
to flow, all right, they make it a point of emphasis,
and it flows like the Mighty Mississippi. It just flew by.
And when they want chaos, it is a flag day festival.
Everyone gets a flag, flags in the air everywhere if
(20:11):
they want that. And so this game flip the script.
Last week was a flag day on Monday night, and
this week protect the brand at all costs. You gotta
protect the brand there, protect the Swifties, protect mahomes and
the pigskin Illuminati, the Illuminati at work.

A little Mariner Magic North of the Border. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere a consortium as we

(21:28):

(22:14):
Buying Show b So I lead this hour from baseball
as the final four underway in Toronto, the curtain going
up on game number one of the American League Championship Series.
There baseball the spotlight not to its own because they
(22:35):
start well. The Sunday night NFL game is going on,
but it's the beauty of Rob Manford and the geniuses
at Major League Baseball. God forbid you start on a
Tuesday when you have the stage to yourself. But I digress.
So the Mariners opening things up in Canada, and a
surprise as Bryce Miller starting the game. A couple of
(22:56):
days after the Seattle baseball team played a fifteen hour
thrill over the Detroit baseball team and Bryce Miller six
sharp innings and Jorge Polanco getting it done there yet again.
He had the go ahead ribby single in the sixth inning.
The Mariners getting it done a domination situation after falling
(23:17):
behind early, and the Blue Jays had the brief one
nothing lead, but the Mariners end up winning it three
to one as they returned to the American League Championship
Series Seattle for the first time in twenty four years.
Once a generation, the Mariners get to the League Championship Series.
Cal Rolly adding the tying solo home run, the second
(23:38):
home run he's had here in the postseason led Baseball
with sixty homewerns. Did Aaron Judge hit a home run
in the Ales? No, he did not. Oh he didn't
play in the Ale, but he did rub some suntan
lotionan onto the Bahamas, so he's got that going for him,
Aaron Judge. So anyway, the Blue Jays will be right
back at it. Game two will be the early game
(23:59):
five five o'clock eastern, two o'clock in the West against
the Mariners, who will start Logan Gilbert in that game.
He threw thirty four pitches in the fifteen inning game
the other night. But the better story is in the
losing locker room. So let us discuss the question here.
Toronto star Vladimir Guerrero, who did bupkiss in this game,
(24:23):
Vladimir Guerrero said of Toronto's loss, he said, quote, we
just didn't hit close. Quote Does that explanation work for you?
Short and sweet? Four words? Vladimir Guerrero said, we just
didn't hit all right. So my observations, I got drug store,
MythBusters and cartoon size, and we will combine all of
(24:45):
these things together and we are going to say hello
to Krusty the k clown is what we're going to do,
all right. So number one, all right, number one? So
I'm shaking my head. No, I do not approve the explanation,
while it is factually correct from Vladimir Guerrero Junior. The
Toronto offense was flatter than a pancake in Saskatoon, a
(25:09):
nice diner there in Saskatoon. That is accurate. This was
supposed to be the Honky Tonk Jubilee for the Toronto
baseball team. You look at that scene there in Toronto.
The game was on Fox, and you look at the
building there. The ballpark was absolutely buzzing. You got that
cheating a hole George Springer, forever tainted as a cheat
(25:33):
from the twenty seventeen Cheating Astros George Springer hits a
lead off moonshot bang. Bang must have been a home
run because it was a bang on the trash can
and the place was louder than a Rush concert. And
then they had to play the rest of the game.
And then they had to play the rest of the
game and nothing. Absolutely Crickets Crickets, zip bow. The baseball
(25:58):
team from Canada, had one hit in twenty eight at bats.
One for twenty eight. Now that works out to an
thirty six batting average, which I'm told is not good.
That was their offense. It was like a tax ride
off one for twenty eight. The rest of the game.
The Jays house man was not was not Drake. They
(26:19):
did not have Drake. They had Limp Biscuit keep part
of that limp because the Toronto Blue Jays very limp
their total buzzkill for the Toronto side of things on
this one. After the Springer home run, it was an
early Christmas Carol, even before Halloween, a silent night. They
had that going for them. So the Blue Jays, you
look at this offense and they were really flexing against
(26:41):
the Yankees, right They for the most part, even the
games they lost, exception maybe one. They had a really
good offense going really good in that ballpark. The accusations
had been made that Toronto was up to some funny
business because they've been so much better at home offensively
than on the road. And so they're using some kind
of special cam to spy and do they know something
(27:02):
we don't know? Anyway, in this game, the Blue Jays
they needed to go down to the drug store right
across the street from the ballpark there, go to the
pharmacy at the drug store and pick up the bottle
that there's a prescription for them. It's a little bottle
of blue pills. Because they did not rise to the occasion.
They did not rise to the occasion here. You only
(27:23):
get one opportunity. I might be wrong this, but I
think I'm right. You only get one opportunity to make
an opening impression in the American League Championship Series. You
get one opportunity here. And how did that go? Let's
see you set the tone they what kind of tone
did they set? Alarm bells? Yeah? Not good? And so
(27:44):
so much for planting the flag. The Mariners were the
team that planted the flag. The Blue Jays they tripped
across the border is what they did there. And as
for Vladimir Guerrero and his quote saying about the offense,
we just didn't hit. That was his quote, we just
didn't which is again no kidding, Sherlock. I understand. I
watched the game understanding you didn't hit, all right, We
(28:06):
all saw that you did not hit. You did not
do much of anything. It was right boring to watch
you attempt to do anything, kind of like Wayne Gretzky
coming out and saying, oh, we just didn't score enough goals.
You think you think now? I prefer the Mike Tomlin
approach to these things. I always go with Mike Tomlin
went in doubt, throw Mike Tomlin quote out. When the
Steelers don't play well, tom will come out with some
(28:28):
over the top quote. For example, Tomlin's quote, I think
it was last year when things were not going well
for the Steelers, and he said, we make no excuses.
He said, we seek no comfort. We didn't play well.
Coach well, period, hardstop, boom done. That's it. That's all.
That's all you need right there. That should be carved
(28:48):
in to the Toronto Blue Jays. Dugout right there, just okay,
I get it now, The good news for Toronto and
the bad news for Seattle is there is no such
thing as momentum. It just doesn't exist. There is no momentum.
So you don't have to worry about this some kind
of spillover a situation that you just put the baby
to bed. And then's Game two is brand new game
(29:10):
and we'll see what you got now on the winner
side of things, winners on the winter side of things
not as good as story. How do you process the
big dumper? Cal Raley and Seattle winning Game one with Gusto?
All right, so on this one, this is a myth
Buster specially. It's one of those things I love. The
media narrative gets slashed apart because we're not part of
(29:33):
the mainstream. I don't get paid like mainstream media. We
do the thing overnight here, we're not mainstream. Mainstream is
six am to six pm. Anything after that is not mainstream.
So we're on the fringes in the shadows. Do Do
Do Do Do Do Doo. But this was a MythBusters October edition.
It really was right because remember all the handwringing and
(29:56):
the gas baggery. I don't know if you paid any
attention to maybe you weren't. You were watching football a weekend.
But if you're a baseball person, the story was, oh
my god, the Mariners are porked. They have no chance.
Right they played fifteen innings two hundred pitches against the
Tigers on Friday. Now they have to fly across North
(30:17):
America and play right away on Sunday. There's no chance
they can win. Of course, the problem with that is
they discounted. They discounted the fact that they were not
traveling by stage coach from Washington to Ontario. They were
not doing that. Here. It turns out that when you
travel and you stay at five star hotels, you have
(30:39):
chartered flights, private air travel, you have police escorts. You're
not exactly taking the Oregon Trail. You know, you don't
have to worry about getting dysentery. Nobody died of dysentery
from the Mariners traveling party on their way to Toronto.
So the Mariners didn't just survive. They've obviously flourished in
this situation. Here they showed up and after that early
(31:01):
kick to the shins by the Toronto baseball team, the
rest of the way it was bigfoot, heavily caffeinated holding
a Louisville slugger and just going for here. There was
a surgical game on the mound in the American League
Championship Series. Now, I don't know how much of this
is Toronto just being bad. I don't have Bryce Miller
on my really good card. Should I have him on there?
(31:23):
I don't have him on there. I don't have him.
Not a list. I have like a big board card thing,
not a list. Terry Newey, but Bryce Miller. I look
at him. I was like, you know, okay, fine, average
major league starting pitcher, nothing over the top grade, you know,
good during the regular season, hadn't been all that great
in the playoffs, unless I'm maybe my TV was broken
again vintage, though not Jamie Mooy. It was like Jamie
(31:46):
Moyer with more gusto, a few extra ticks on the
gun there for the Mariners. They're slicing up, slicing and dicing.
The Toronto Blue Jays. There was six innings of one
run ball and painting the strike zone like he was
Bob Ross with the paint brush there, and good job
by him and the big dumper doing big dumper things,
(32:09):
sitting a home run there. Boom yachtsee longball, ding dong,
whatever you want to say. Their home run for him.
So there you go, just like that home field advantage gone.
Although we do know since the Mariners are like an
honorary Canadian team, right because so many people from Vancouver
come down to watch the Mariners, and there'll be a
lot of Canadians that make their way down across the
(32:31):
border there when they get back to Seattle. But there's
a game again in Toronto later on this afternoon, but
no home field advantage. And it was supposed to be
the party, as we said, supposed to be a party
there Ballpark formerly known as the sky Gnome back in
the day. Now it's got a corporate name. But buzzing.
The fans showed up early there. They had their blue
(32:51):
that's a lot of powder blue jerseys when they showed
the crowd and ready to scream their lungs out, and
there were just a handful of Mariner fans, not many,
not many, And how did that go well? That did
not go well for the home team at all. And
so very savvy performance for the Mariners. They're a good start,
(33:12):
very un Mariner like, I would say, not very un
Mariner like. There it's a team that's like, well, that's
a nice little story out of the Pacific Northwest, and
it's not approaching it that way, not exactly approaching it
that way. Here after falling behind early, coming back and
monster mashing here and so there you go. They took
(33:32):
the early punch and bounced right back. And that's where
we are. Now we move ahead in the broadcast. We'll
get back to the baseball. But I did want to
go to college football. We had a very high profile
shakeup in college football while the NFL was being played,
and then later on baseball we had a little wackety
(33:52):
whack as a prominent head coach has been decommissioned pre season,
top five in all of college football, fired before Halloween.
Hard to do, It's hard to do, but it happened.
James Franklin gone, Nana Anna, good bye, see you later. Hey,
(34:15):
going Franklin out. Now. That led to condemnation from some
powerful alumni, you believe it or not, of Penn State.
You'd think after what is transpired here in the last
couple of years that this would not be something to
be upset about. But there we saw it. The question
(34:35):
on this one Packer's defensive end and a former player
for James Franklin, Micah Parsons says James Franklin quote deserved
better close quote after Penn State dismissed him. So the
question is is that based in any kind of reality,
did James Franklin get a raw deal from Penn State?
(35:01):
All right, So with all honor, with all due respect,
Michael Parsons is out of his bloody mind. Okay, he
got the utmost James Franklin respect. Do you understand when
you're at one of these power schools? I think we
all know this, whether you're a fan of Penn State.
I'm not a Penn State fan by any means, but
(35:22):
I know watching college football casually, I don't talk about
it much because it's not as popular as the NFL,
but watching the big time schools, the power, the elite
of the elite, the top of the power conferences, and
Notre Dame, which is not in a conference, but Notre Dame,
SC Michigan, Georgia, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State, that pedigree
(35:46):
of school. It's how you do against the top teams,
It's how you do in the made for TV matchups.
That is what separates and twenty five games against top
ten teams, or James Franklin at Penn State four and
twenty one, four and twenty one against top ten teams.
How about the top five one in fifteen one and
(36:10):
fifteen against top five teams, And you can't have that
record and then claim somehow there's some kind of mistreatment.
It's just not true. In fact, I would argue that
James Franklin got the ultimate, the ultimate celebration. This is
one of the great things in his life, James Franklin,
(36:32):
because he was failing, he was drowning as coach at
Penn State, and they rewarded him with one of those
cartoon sized lottery checks. You know those giant oversized checks
when you win the lottery. This was there. I want
one of those Pennsylvania lottery They're pretty cool. He left
(36:53):
with forty nine million dollars. Penn State will be paying
him through twenty thirty one. Forty nine million dollars forty
a minute. Not to work now you should be. I realized,
after taxes and all that, it's probably like twenty two
million or something like that. But still you should not
ever have to work again. You should be set for life.
(37:15):
If he wants to coach. He can coach. But this
is not a sad thing. This is the ultimate to
think that you suck so much that somebody wrote a check,
some booster. Now, the rumors are that Adidas, who's got
a big deal with Penn State, they're the ones. I
don't know if that's true or not. I read that
on the internet. I read a lot of things. I
don't know whether that's accurate or not. But the rumor
is that Penn State so embarrassed and they've got the money.
(37:37):
They're like, they need Penn State to be good because
they want to sell overpriced athletic gear. And no one's
going to buy overpriced gear with Penn State's logo on it,
with the Adidas logo if they blow, and right now
they blow. They lost a winless UCLA. Now you Seela
came back and kick the snot out of Michigan State
over the weekend. But my gut, but you look at
(37:59):
that and also the Northwestern loss this weekend, So no
pity party and all that. Uh, this was this was
a platinum handshake that James Franklin got. It was he
was given handcuffs, golden handcuffs. He got golden handcuffs. He
didn't just get left on the tarmac. He's not. He
didn't show up drunk like Steve Sarkis in at usc
(38:21):
and get a rude you know, departure Lane Kiffin on
the tarmac. None of that stuff right, he got. If
the math is right on this, James Franklin the second
largest go away, don't come back. Check this side of
Jimbo Fisher. He got the Jimbo. He got the Jimbo
(38:43):
and he deserves better. How does he deserve better? He'll
he'll end up these guys, these coaches are cockroaches. He'll
end up somewhere else at a medium sized program, and
then he'll have a couple of good years in some
power five school or top power five school will bring
James Stranklin back. But the the ones that deserve better
were the players at Penn State. The people that watch
(39:05):
Penn State football. To lose to again, UCLA look like
they were't gonna win a game, and they kicked your
ass on offense up and down the field. They scored
whenever they wanted to, and lowly Northwestern. I mean, that's embarrassing.
I'm and you have a roster that was a top
five roster before the year, and Mike is playing the
(39:26):
loyalty card. From the bottom of it was I get
I understand he likes Michaeh. Parsons. He played for James Franklin.
He obviously has an allegiance to James Franklin. Franklin went
out and recruited him. Micah Parsons makes a lot of
money now he believes he would not apparently have made
that much money if he had not run into James Franklin.
I get it, fine, whatever that being said, Let's not
(39:48):
pretend this is some kind of Shakespearean betrayal by Penn State. No,
it's big boy football. It's semi professional. In fact, the
amount of money being paid to Penn State is professional
foot ball. And you're getting a big boy check to
go away. And I'll tell you what, right now, I've
been at this company for like twenty five years Fox
Sports Radio. It's been here a long time. If they
(40:10):
wrote me a check today for forty nine million dollars,
I would never say a bad word about him, and
I would go away smiling, and I'd be very happy. Uh,
And you would be to wherever you work. I don't
care how long you've worked at that company. If they
cut one of those giant checks, you never have to
work again. You'd be like, oh man, and you fail
to live up to expectations in a results based industry,
(40:30):
that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (40:31):

Speaker 1 (40:37):
It's Mallard. How about that? To the third degree? H
may this? Yeah is one big gets quailed?
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (40:45):
What are we have here at coop?
Speaker 7 (40:46):
Then it was reported over the weekend that Brian Dayball
is under investigation, a joint investigation between the NFL and
NFL Players Association on whether or not he violated the
least concussion Protocol by appearing into you know, yell at
the team doctor.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
What do you think is gonna come of this investigation?
They'll reprimand him and they'll find him and then that'll
be that and it's it's a real big tell though
that Russell Wilson sucks so much that Brian day Ball
tried to like he was like wreck itt Ralph who
used to work here. He tried to make his way
in the injury tent to make sure that that Dart
(41:21):
came back. He had no chance to win if Dart
wasn't on the field next.
Speaker 7 (41:26):
A league insider also recently said that he believes Howie
Roseman will try to move A. J.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Brown.
Speaker 7 (41:32):
What team do you think is a realistic destination for agents, Well, he.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Obviously won't be the Chargers, right. The Chargers need a
number one receiver. They need the top guy they've got.
You know, that's not the type of the Chargers normally make.
But that's the team that pops right at the very
top there, that stands out next.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
Over the weekend, Kendrick Perkins basically pleaded with Lebron James
to retire after this season.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
Do you think he'll do it? Yes, Lebron is gonna key,
He's gonna retire because Kendrick Perkins publicly to try to
get Clay and get people watching his stupid TV stuff, said, Lebron,
you should retire? Yeah, uh is Lebron'm gonna sell more
whiskey or Hennessy. That's what I want to know. How
do we do Ku passes it? That is they went

decis don't to go with the baseball. But the baseball
game was not all that great. I'm sorry JJ and
Retten and Nostradinas and all that. So the football game
(02:09):
there was more juice, and I go where the juice is.
That's the mantra. You start out where the better story
isn't the better story the Sunday night NFL game. So
that is where we will begin. We will get to
the baseball later. It will start at Arrowhead Stadium, just
down the street from the home of the Bain Mallard
Chicken Fingers had a great Mallard meet and greet by
(02:30):
a year ago last November. There was wonderful just a
Smorgesborg of chicken fingers in the air everywhere there at
the landing in Liberty, Missouri. But on Sunday night, an
island game. We love our island games. Explain that over
the weekend on the Fifth Hour podcast, which I know
you listened to you heard the Fifth Hour podcast every
(02:51):
single FN day on the weekends. So the Detroit Lions
roared into Cansau City for the little playdate with the Chiefs.
That was the setup, that was the matchup. And I
don't know if you're watching this, the baseball game was
going on. It was a quick NFL game, pretty fast
NFL game. Baseball games start a little bit before the
game in the NFL. So if you're not watching Patrick Mahomes,
(03:16):
wake up the echos. Two hundred and fifty seven yards
passing three touchdowns. You also scrambled for another score. And
Malon Matth tells me that's four touchdowns for Patrick Mahomes
and he led the Chiefs to a thirty to seventeen
win over the Detroit football team as Marquise Hollywood Brown
(03:36):
had two touchdown receptions Xavier Worthy had another. The Chiefs
get back to five hundred at three and three on
the season. They played a near flawless game. More on
that coming up in a little bit there. They had
no penalties, no penalties for the Chiefs, no turnovers. This
is one week after you get a penalty, you get
(03:58):
a penalty, you get a penalty and that Monday night game,
that last second loss, when the Chiefs defense stood around
and watched the klutz quarterback for Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence, fall
down multiple times and then go in the end zone
because Chris Jones decided he want to hustle. I want
a dubby anyway. So the Chiefs bounce back and they
(04:19):
get to win here. And the better story, though, is
in the losing locker room the Detroit Lions following the loss.
We had a rhubarb that took place there following the loss,
as the Lion's safety Brian Branch boiling over and got
into it. He refused to do a postgame clappity clap
(04:42):
dappity DApp with Patrick Mahomes, and Branch instead decided he
wanted to deliver a right hook to a man wearing
a helmet, which generally is not a great idea, but
he decided to do it anyway, and he threw a
punch there at Juju Smith Schuster. After the end of
the game, the teams come and together to exchange niceties.
That didn't seem very nice, but I don't know, maybe
(05:04):
it was. It was like a nice friendly punch could
have been there right at midfield. So let us discuss
the question how disappointing, how disappointing is this overall performance
for Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions as they end up on
the wrong side of the scoreboard and not even close
(05:24):
in the second half. So I've got ice bucket, toy Poodle,
and Mighty Mississippi and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to put the biscuit
in the basket, is what we're going to do. So
a this one obviously stinks. It's like a sting from
a hornet for the Lions here because this was supposed
(05:47):
to be as well. The Chiefs aren't that good, but
still they're at home. It's prime time. You're going against
Mahomes and those guys. So this is a measuring stick
situation for Detroit, a barometer about where you are right
now and how you and a little bit of a
gut check even though the Chiefs don't have a great record,
and so where do you actually stand? Let's see where
do you actually stand? Man? Okay, big boy stage right
(06:11):
there Monday night or Sunday night rather with NBC and
all that, and how'd that work out? Yeah, on this night,
on that particular night, Sunday night. You did not measure up.
You just didn't. The game was not even really close
in the second half, right, it was not. You watched
the end. The Chiefs were in total control of this thing.
(06:31):
And this wasn't cute little Detroit hosting the Chicago Bears
in Motown on a Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. This
was not that. This was Zarohead National TV, big bright
lights and all that stuff, supposedly big boy football for
the Lions here and an angry Kansas City Chiefs team,
(06:53):
and we saw what happened for the past month. Dan
Campbell's Lions were the nfs IT team. I was asking
my weekly appearance on with my friend Bob Fesco show
in Kansas City there on our affiliate in the mornings
on Thursdays, I pop on there and said, well, it's
the top team in the NFL. I think Dusty might
have asked me that, and I said, well, right now,
(07:14):
the Lions, the Lions that they were the one that
stood out. And so the Lions go out there and
get whooped, whooped, he whooped in the second half of
this game here. So all the attitude and the fake kneecap,
biting all of that. So then Mahomes and the Chiefs
come out and absolutely slap them in the mouth in
(07:37):
the second half of this game. And some will say,
well the Lions were shorthanded, their defense was missing some
people and all that. Well, you still have to play
the game. You play the game with who with who's
out there, and no excuses. And Kansas City again defensively,
they controlled the game and offense compared to how they
had played recently. This was a night day throwback performance,
(08:02):
vintage performance here. Twenty six first downs, three hundred and
fifty five yards, the Chiefs toying with them in the
first half, and then never trailed after halftime. They led
from soup to nuts in the second half all the
way through. And Aiden Hutchinson, that Detroit defense looking like
(08:24):
a team there that was taking part in the ice
buck bucket challenge, and they did not handle the ice water,
did not handle that very well. There, they got hypothermia.
Bad job by them, reality check, slap boom, all that stuff.
As they go down the Lions go down there. Now,
Dan Campbell is the head coach of the Detroit football team,
(08:47):
and we're gonna get his comments in a minute, Let's
go to Jared Golf though. Here's Jared Goff. This is
Jared Goff on the ineptitude of the Detroit Lions. Take
a listen.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
On offense, I thought we had moved the ball decently,
I think limited possessions certainly, and so were they on offense.
We were kind of both playing that game of long possessions.
And when you play that game, you gotta score. You
gotta finish in with touchdowns, and they did and we
did that first drive getting the touchdown had been nice
field goals, you know, consolation prize there, But then we
had a couple of drives we just didn't wait three
an hour or five an hour at front and yeah,
(09:18):
so if you're going to play that time with possession game,
you gotta score at the end of them. And they
did it more than we did.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So clearly my TV is not working because I did
not see that game. I did not see the game
that Jared Goff described there at all. I think Jared
Goff matter have had a concussion or something like that.
That was a welcome back to Earth situation for the
MotorCity kiddies. Now, let's not gloss over. Let us knock
gloss over the end of the game as safety Brian
(09:43):
Branch refusing the niceties from Patrick Mahomes. As we said
there Mahomes offering to give him a handshake or a
little fist bump there, and instead he decided to wallop.
It was a mollywob Juju Smith Schuster in the helmet.
It's dumb because the guy's wearing a helmet, so's it's
just stupid because the guy's got a helmet on and
(10:05):
all that stuff and not exactly a real tough guy move.
You're not Rocky Balboa out there, and you're the guy
the Lions here who got knocked out in the third
and fourth round. And then your guy threw a tantrum
after the game. Who goofed? I've got to know on
the way out the now the Lions are good and
(10:27):
all that, but that was pretty pathetic. Here's Dan Campbell
on the extra curricular activities post game in Arrowhead.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I'm disappointed because you know, it's been a long time
since you're watching somebody kneel it three times in front
of you and it's not even close. You know, you're
down two scores. I mean, we got we got worked
pretty good. So so yeah, it's disappointing. It's really disappointing.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, well, the Lions go down there, the Chiefs still
at the grown up table there, moving on to the
other side, and that would be the winning side, the
Kansas City side from their perspective. Does this count? Here's
the question. Does this count as a state victory for
Andy Reid and the Chiefs here in Week six? Alright,
(11:15):
So now here's the problem. That was a statement win
as much as a Week six NFL game can be
a statement win.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Mahomes and Kelsey were wobbly, very wobbly for the beginning
part of the season, and and so this was one
of those situations like, hey, we're still around, you know,
remember us, We're still here. We haven't left, We're just
off to the side, and you know, we have every
intent of still being here at the end of the
(11:47):
year and all that stuff. And there was just a
little more juice, just a little more right there for
one night anyway, whether this has any kind of continuation
or not, for one night, the Chiefs looked like the
Chiefs of recent years, and you know they is that
going to continue?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Ive?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Who knows, We'll see the swagger was back there. That
was like a toy poodle marking its territory on a hydrant,
if you know what I mean. Right there, they you know,
nobody beats the whiz. They took care of that right there.
You could see from the opening drive that say, hey,
this is our house and all that stuff, and they
went there two hundred and fifty seven yards to get
(12:26):
from whomes. She had three touchdown passes, one touchdown on
the ground, So all around, sharing the sugar and the
defense for Kansasy, which was good in Jacksonville. It's not
like they were bad in Jacksonville until the final play
when they stood there and watched Lawrence fumble and futs
around and getting the end zone and all that stuff.
But the second half that is when Detroit really flexed, right,
(12:48):
they really did. Detroit's firepower was totally neutralized in the
second half of this game. I'm on Ross Saint Brown
rather quiet. Jared Goff, despite what he said, nothing special, nothing,
just kind of a blah blah type situation, couldn't get
much of anything other than those checkdowns. Charlie checked down
for much of the second half there for the Detroit
(13:09):
Lions and so they scored seven points over the final
thirty minutes. Now, I didn't plan in the NFL, so
I off to check with Ryan Clark on this. But
I don't think that's good. I don't think that's good.
And so Kansas City and then slamming the door shut.
And a credit to Steve Spagnolo, the defensive coordinator there
is his guys were flying all over the place in
(13:30):
this one. And that is the first time in weeks
that I have watched Kansas City and thought, Okay, there
you go. All that crap. They would say, Wow, championship,
DNA and all that stuff. That's that's it the mode
Joe Potato, big time win, big time win. So there
you go. That's the roadside billboard the Chiefs have put
(13:52):
up for the rest of the NFL said you thought
we were slipping, I think again. Now. They had looked
like a team that was sleepwalking, losing to all the
good teams they had played, and then beating the bad
teams they had played. And this is the first quality
opponent the Chiefs had beaten. The Ravens are a bad team.
(14:15):
The Giants are a bad team, but they would last week.
They're still a bad team. You know, don't mistake Jackson
Dart playing well, they didn't play that game. That was
a Russell Wilson game. That started the Sunday night game
against can Zaw City. So everything seemed like it was
in place. Even Andy Reid's mustache seemed like it belonged there,
(14:35):
It had extra hair to it. It was good to
go there. So the lesson do not sleep, do not
sleep on the Chiefs there. They are still the standard,
the gold standard in the AFC. And you know here
we'll see Buffalo plays on Monday Night, the Bills play,
I believe Atlanta on the Monday night card. And that's
(14:56):
the other team. I mean, you look around, who else
the Ravens falling apart Pittsburgh's four and one? Are you
considering them legit in the AFC? The Chargers? Who's the team?
All right? Now, last word, let's address the heel, A
monster in the room, the story that everyone will be
talking about over the next twenty four hours when they
(15:16):
talk about the NFL weekend. And that'll be one week,
one week after it was uglee with a capitol U
ugu lee for the Chiefs. They flipped the script in
this game against the Lions. I'm talking about from the
officiating standpoint on Sunday, the Detroit Lions the opponent. There
(15:39):
there were no accepted penalties, none, none. Against Kansas City.
Detroit declined an offside penalty on Chris Jones late in
the fourth quarter. But that's it, that's all. That's all
there was. Detroit was penalized four times for thirty eight yards,
(15:59):
and those mistakes swung the game. All four of them
swung the game. It's not my opinion, it's a fact.
You can go down point by point. An illegal motion
penalty wiped out a trick play touchdown on the first
quarter against Detroit. There was a defensive pass interference call
that extended Kansas City's go ahead drive before halftime. The
(16:22):
roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter set up
a touchdown that pushed the Chiefs lead to double digits.
So you see where I'm going with this. Now, question
here's the question, what do you make of the Chiefs
being we are told the second team in the last
seventy years, just the second team in the last seventy years,
(16:43):
to have no accepted penalties against them in a regulation
NFL game. It's only the second time in seventy years
that this has happened. So this one, hey, it smells
all right, I mean, just call like it's the smells does?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It reeks of the shield doing what the shield does best,
protecting the crown jewel. And I'm not above buying into
a conspiracy. I'm not. I mean, but he didn't say
by the fourth quarter, I didn't notice the body language
of the Detroit line. Some of the guys in the secondary.
It looked like they were in a telephone tree with
(17:22):
the irs and they were getting bounced around and all
that stuff. Detroit had measured the fourth penalties for thirty
eight yards in this game, and just about every single
one of them, as we laid out here, took points
off the board or helped Kansas City put points on
the board. And that is not just bad luck. Okay,
that's not just bad luck. That is again the heal
(17:43):
of monster in the room biting the kneecap, nibble, nibble, nibble,
right at the kneecap there. And this is the part,
this is the part where the NFL deep state comes
slithering right out. Now. Is that the Taylor Swift effect,
(18:05):
is that what that is was a phone call made.
Was this a point of reference, a point of emphasis
for the NFL referees in this game? It stands out
so much that it'd be hard to believe for a
rational person that this was not a point of emphasis
(18:25):
for the NFL. The officials are given their directions before
every game what to look for, what's a point of emphasis.
I find it impossible that a message was not sent
down to just kind of observe and only call the
obvious penalties. Don't interfere with Kansas City at all. And
(18:47):
you've got the most marketable pop star on the planet
who's now an NFL wag wag Wag wag wag. She's
a wag. Yeah, And you think the league wants a
sub five hundred two four Kansas City team they lose
this game, they'd be two and four. Please, no, No.
They want those cutaways, those reaction shots, they want the
(19:09):
merch sales, the TV hype. Is it built in? It's
baked into the NFL. It's absolutely baked in. And this game,
with the lack of penalties, was the shortest Sunday night
game in fourteen years. It's been fourteen years, fourth shortest ever,
(19:29):
fourth shortest ever. And of course, how does that happen.
That happens because there's no those no penalty flags of
the officials. I'm sure it was just a kuinkie dink
that they decided to swallow the whistle like they were
entering the witness protection program and they're like, it's like
those kids. Kids are supposed to be seen, not heard.
And that's the referees there. And then when the NFL
(19:50):
wants that's the lesson. When the NFL wants a game
to flow, all right, they make it a point of emphasis,
and it flows like the Mighty Mississippi. It just flew by.
And when they want chaos, it is a flag day festival.
Everyone gets a flag, flags in the air everywhere if
(20:11):
they want that. And so this game flip the script.
Last week was a flag day on Monday night, and
this week protect the brand at all costs. You gotta
protect the brand there, protect the Swifties, protect mahomes and
the pigskin Illuminati, the Illuminati at work.

(22:14):
Buying Show b So I lead this hour from baseball
as the final four underway in Toronto, the curtain going
up on game number one of the American League Championship Series.
There baseball the spotlight not to its own because they
(22:35):
start well. The Sunday night NFL game is going on,
but it's the beauty of Rob Manford and the geniuses
at Major League Baseball. God forbid you start on a
Tuesday when you have the stage to yourself. But I digress.
So the Mariners opening things up in Canada, and a
surprise as Bryce Miller starting the game. A couple of
(22:56):
days after the Seattle baseball team played a fifteen hour
thrill over the Detroit baseball team and Bryce Miller six
sharp innings and Jorge Polanco getting it done there yet again.
He had the go ahead ribby single in the sixth inning.
The Mariners getting it done a domination situation after falling
(23:17):
behind early, and the Blue Jays had the brief one
nothing lead, but the Mariners end up winning it three
to one as they returned to the American League Championship
Series Seattle for the first time in twenty four years.
Once a generation, the Mariners get to the League Championship Series.
Cal Rolly adding the tying solo home run, the second
(23:38):
home run he's had here in the postseason led Baseball
with sixty homewerns. Did Aaron Judge hit a home run
in the Ales? No, he did not. Oh he didn't
play in the Ale, but he did rub some suntan
lotionan onto the Bahamas, so he's got that going for him,
Aaron Judge. So anyway, the Blue Jays will be right
back at it. Game two will be the early game
(23:59):
five five o'clock eastern, two o'clock in the West against
the Mariners, who will start Logan Gilbert in that game.
He threw thirty four pitches in the fifteen inning game
the other night. But the better story is in the
losing locker room. So let us discuss the question here.
Toronto star Vladimir Guerrero, who did bupkiss in this game,
(24:23):
Vladimir Guerrero said of Toronto's loss, he said, quote, we
just didn't hit close. Quote Does that explanation work for you?
Short and sweet? Four words? Vladimir Guerrero said, we just
didn't hit all right. So my observations, I got drug store,
MythBusters and cartoon size, and we will combine all of
(24:45):
these things together and we are going to say hello
to Krusty the k clown is what we're going to do,
all right. So number one, all right, number one? So
I'm shaking my head. No, I do not approve the explanation,
while it is factually correct from Vladimir Guerrero Junior. The
Toronto offense was flatter than a pancake in Saskatoon, a
(25:09):
nice diner there in Saskatoon. That is accurate. This was
supposed to be the Honky Tonk Jubilee for the Toronto
baseball team. You look at that scene there in Toronto.
The game was on Fox, and you look at the
building there. The ballpark was absolutely buzzing. You got that
cheating a hole George Springer, forever tainted as a cheat
(25:33):
from the twenty seventeen Cheating Astros George Springer hits a
lead off moonshot bang. Bang must have been a home
run because it was a bang on the trash can
and the place was louder than a Rush concert. And
then they had to play the rest of the game.
And then they had to play the rest of the
game and nothing. Absolutely Crickets Crickets, zip bow. The baseball
(25:58):
team from Canada, had one hit in twenty eight at bats.
One for twenty eight. Now that works out to an
thirty six batting average, which I'm told is not good.
That was their offense. It was like a tax ride
off one for twenty eight. The rest of the game.
The Jays house man was not was not Drake. They
(26:19):
did not have Drake. They had Limp Biscuit keep part
of that limp because the Toronto Blue Jays very limp
their total buzzkill for the Toronto side of things on
this one. After the Springer home run, it was an
early Christmas Carol, even before Halloween, a silent night. They
had that going for them. So the Blue Jays, you
look at this offense and they were really flexing against
(26:41):
the Yankees, right They for the most part, even the
games they lost, exception maybe one. They had a really
good offense going really good in that ballpark. The accusations
had been made that Toronto was up to some funny
business because they've been so much better at home offensively
than on the road. And so they're using some kind
of special cam to spy and do they know something
(27:02):
we don't know? Anyway, in this game, the Blue Jays
they needed to go down to the drug store right
across the street from the ballpark there, go to the
pharmacy at the drug store and pick up the bottle
that there's a prescription for them. It's a little bottle
of blue pills. Because they did not rise to the occasion.
They did not rise to the occasion here. You only
(27:23):
get one opportunity. I might be wrong this, but I
think I'm right. You only get one opportunity to make
an opening impression in the American League Championship Series. You
get one opportunity here. And how did that go? Let's
see you set the tone they what kind of tone
did they set? Alarm bells? Yeah? Not good? And so
(27:44):
so much for planting the flag. The Mariners were the
team that planted the flag. The Blue Jays they tripped
across the border is what they did there. And as
for Vladimir Guerrero and his quote saying about the offense,
we just didn't hit. That was his quote, we just
didn't which is again no kidding, Sherlock. I understand. I
watched the game understanding you didn't hit, all right, We
(28:06):
all saw that you did not hit. You did not
do much of anything. It was right boring to watch
you attempt to do anything, kind of like Wayne Gretzky
coming out and saying, oh, we just didn't score enough goals.
You think you think now? I prefer the Mike Tomlin
approach to these things. I always go with Mike Tomlin
went in doubt, throw Mike Tomlin quote out. When the
Steelers don't play well, tom will come out with some
(28:28):
over the top quote. For example, Tomlin's quote, I think
it was last year when things were not going well
for the Steelers, and he said, we make no excuses.
He said, we seek no comfort. We didn't play well.
Coach well, period, hardstop, boom done. That's it. That's all.
That's all you need right there. That should be carved
(28:48):
in to the Toronto Blue Jays. Dugout right there, just okay,
I get it now, The good news for Toronto and
the bad news for Seattle is there is no such
thing as momentum. It just doesn't exist. There is no momentum.
So you don't have to worry about this some kind
of spillover a situation that you just put the baby
to bed. And then's Game two is brand new game
(29:10):
and we'll see what you got now on the winner
side of things, winners on the winter side of things
not as good as story. How do you process the
big dumper? Cal Raley and Seattle winning Game one with Gusto?
All right, so on this one, this is a myth
Buster specially. It's one of those things I love. The
media narrative gets slashed apart because we're not part of
(29:33):
the mainstream. I don't get paid like mainstream media. We
do the thing overnight here, we're not mainstream. Mainstream is
six am to six pm. Anything after that is not mainstream.
So we're on the fringes in the shadows. Do Do
Do Do Do Do Doo. But this was a MythBusters October edition.
It really was right because remember all the handwringing and
(29:56):
the gas baggery. I don't know if you paid any
attention to maybe you weren't. You were watching football a weekend.
But if you're a baseball person, the story was, oh
my god, the Mariners are porked. They have no chance.
Right they played fifteen innings two hundred pitches against the
Tigers on Friday. Now they have to fly across North
(30:17):
America and play right away on Sunday. There's no chance
they can win. Of course, the problem with that is
they discounted. They discounted the fact that they were not
traveling by stage coach from Washington to Ontario. They were
not doing that. Here. It turns out that when you
travel and you stay at five star hotels, you have
(30:39):
chartered flights, private air travel, you have police escorts. You're
not exactly taking the Oregon Trail. You know, you don't
have to worry about getting dysentery. Nobody died of dysentery
from the Mariners traveling party on their way to Toronto.
So the Mariners didn't just survive. They've obviously flourished in
this situation. Here they showed up and after that early
(31:01):
kick to the shins by the Toronto baseball team, the
rest of the way it was bigfoot, heavily caffeinated holding
a Louisville slugger and just going for here. There was
a surgical game on the mound in the American League
Championship Series. Now, I don't know how much of this
is Toronto just being bad. I don't have Bryce Miller
on my really good card. Should I have him on there?
(31:23):
I don't have him on there. I don't have him.
Not a list. I have like a big board card thing,
not a list. Terry Newey, but Bryce Miller. I look
at him. I was like, you know, okay, fine, average
major league starting pitcher, nothing over the top grade, you know,
good during the regular season, hadn't been all that great
in the playoffs, unless I'm maybe my TV was broken
again vintage, though not Jamie Mooy. It was like Jamie
(31:46):
Moyer with more gusto, a few extra ticks on the
gun there for the Mariners. They're slicing up, slicing and dicing.
The Toronto Blue Jays. There was six innings of one
run ball and painting the strike zone like he was
Bob Ross with the paint brush there, and good job
by him and the big dumper doing big dumper things,
(32:09):
sitting a home run there. Boom yachtsee longball, ding dong,
whatever you want to say. Their home run for him.
So there you go, just like that home field advantage gone.
Although we do know since the Mariners are like an
honorary Canadian team, right because so many people from Vancouver
come down to watch the Mariners, and there'll be a
lot of Canadians that make their way down across the
(32:31):
border there when they get back to Seattle. But there's
a game again in Toronto later on this afternoon, but
no home field advantage. And it was supposed to be
the party, as we said, supposed to be a party
there Ballpark formerly known as the sky Gnome back in
the day. Now it's got a corporate name. But buzzing.
The fans showed up early there. They had their blue
(32:51):
that's a lot of powder blue jerseys when they showed
the crowd and ready to scream their lungs out, and
there were just a handful of Mariner fans, not many,
not many, And how did that go well? That did
not go well for the home team at all. And
so very savvy performance for the Mariners. They're a good start,
(33:12):
very un Mariner like, I would say, not very un
Mariner like. There it's a team that's like, well, that's
a nice little story out of the Pacific Northwest, and
it's not approaching it that way, not exactly approaching it
that way. Here after falling behind early, coming back and
monster mashing here and so there you go. They took
(33:32):
the early punch and bounced right back. And that's where
we are. Now we move ahead in the broadcast. We'll
get back to the baseball. But I did want to
go to college football. We had a very high profile
shakeup in college football while the NFL was being played,
and then later on baseball we had a little wackety
(33:52):
whack as a prominent head coach has been decommissioned pre season,
top five in all of college football, fired before Halloween.
Hard to do, It's hard to do, but it happened.
James Franklin gone, Nana Anna, good bye, see you later. Hey,
(34:15):
going Franklin out. Now. That led to condemnation from some
powerful alumni, you believe it or not, of Penn State.
You'd think after what is transpired here in the last
couple of years that this would not be something to
be upset about. But there we saw it. The question
(34:35):
on this one Packer's defensive end and a former player
for James Franklin, Micah Parsons says James Franklin quote deserved
better close quote after Penn State dismissed him. So the
question is is that based in any kind of reality,
did James Franklin get a raw deal from Penn State?
(35:01):
All right, So with all honor, with all due respect,
Michael Parsons is out of his bloody mind. Okay, he
got the utmost James Franklin respect. Do you understand when
you're at one of these power schools? I think we
all know this, whether you're a fan of Penn State.
I'm not a Penn State fan by any means, but
(35:22):
I know watching college football casually, I don't talk about
it much because it's not as popular as the NFL,
but watching the big time schools, the power, the elite
of the elite, the top of the power conferences, and
Notre Dame, which is not in a conference, but Notre Dame,
SC Michigan, Georgia, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State, that pedigree
(35:46):
of school. It's how you do against the top teams,
It's how you do in the made for TV matchups.
That is what separates and twenty five games against top
ten teams, or James Franklin at Penn State four and
twenty one, four and twenty one against top ten teams.
How about the top five one in fifteen one and
(36:10):
fifteen against top five teams, And you can't have that
record and then claim somehow there's some kind of mistreatment.
It's just not true. In fact, I would argue that
James Franklin got the ultimate, the ultimate celebration. This is
one of the great things in his life, James Franklin,
(36:32):
because he was failing, he was drowning as coach at
Penn State, and they rewarded him with one of those
cartoon sized lottery checks. You know those giant oversized checks
when you win the lottery. This was there. I want
one of those Pennsylvania lottery They're pretty cool. He left
(36:53):
with forty nine million dollars. Penn State will be paying
him through twenty thirty one. Forty nine million dollars forty
a minute. Not to work now you should be. I realized,
after taxes and all that, it's probably like twenty two
million or something like that. But still you should not
ever have to work again. You should be set for life.
(37:15):
If he wants to coach. He can coach. But this
is not a sad thing. This is the ultimate to
think that you suck so much that somebody wrote a check,
some booster. Now, the rumors are that Adidas, who's got
a big deal with Penn State, they're the ones. I
don't know if that's true or not. I read that
on the internet. I read a lot of things. I
don't know whether that's accurate or not. But the rumor
is that Penn State so embarrassed and they've got the money.
(37:37):
They're like, they need Penn State to be good because
they want to sell overpriced athletic gear. And no one's
going to buy overpriced gear with Penn State's logo on it,
with the Adidas logo if they blow, and right now
they blow. They lost a winless UCLA. Now you Seela
came back and kick the snot out of Michigan State
over the weekend. But my gut, but you look at
(37:59):
that and also the Northwestern loss this weekend, So no
pity party and all that. Uh, this was this was
a platinum handshake that James Franklin got. It was he
was given handcuffs, golden handcuffs. He got golden handcuffs. He
didn't just get left on the tarmac. He's not. He
didn't show up drunk like Steve Sarkis in at usc
(38:21):
and get a rude you know, departure Lane Kiffin on
the tarmac. None of that stuff right, he got. If
the math is right on this, James Franklin the second
largest go away, don't come back. Check this side of
Jimbo Fisher. He got the Jimbo. He got the Jimbo
(38:43):
and he deserves better. How does he deserve better? He'll
he'll end up these guys, these coaches are cockroaches. He'll
end up somewhere else at a medium sized program, and
then he'll have a couple of good years in some
power five school or top power five school will bring
James Stranklin back. But the the ones that deserve better
were the players at Penn State. The people that watch
(39:05):
Penn State football. To lose to again, UCLA look like
they were't gonna win a game, and they kicked your
ass on offense up and down the field. They scored
whenever they wanted to, and lowly Northwestern. I mean, that's embarrassing.
I'm and you have a roster that was a top
five roster before the year, and Mike is playing the
(39:26):
loyalty card. From the bottom of it was I get
I understand he likes Michaeh. Parsons. He played for James Franklin.
He obviously has an allegiance to James Franklin. Franklin went
out and recruited him. Micah Parsons makes a lot of
money now he believes he would not apparently have made
that much money if he had not run into James Franklin.
I get it, fine, whatever that being said, Let's not
(39:48):
pretend this is some kind of Shakespearean betrayal by Penn State. No,
it's big boy football. It's semi professional. In fact, the
amount of money being paid to Penn State is professional
foot ball. And you're getting a big boy check to
go away. And I'll tell you what, right now, I've
been at this company for like twenty five years Fox
Sports Radio. It's been here a long time. If they
(40:10):
wrote me a check today for forty nine million dollars,
I would never say a bad word about him, and
I would go away smiling, and I'd be very happy. Uh,
And you would be to wherever you work. I don't
care how long you've worked at that company. If they
cut one of those giant checks, you never have to
work again. You'd be like, oh man, and you fail
to live up to expectations in a results based industry,
(40:30):
that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (40:31):

It's Mallard. How about that? To the third degree? H
may this? Yeah is one big gets quailed?
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (40:45):
What are we have here at coop?
Speaker 7 (40:46):
Then it was reported over the weekend that Brian Dayball
is under investigation, a joint investigation between the NFL and
NFL Players Association on whether or not he violated the
least concussion Protocol by appearing into you know, yell at
the team doctor.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
What do you think is gonna come of this investigation?
They'll reprimand him and they'll find him and then that'll
be that and it's it's a real big tell though
that Russell Wilson sucks so much that Brian day Ball
tried to like he was like wreck itt Ralph who
used to work here. He tried to make his way
in the injury tent to make sure that that Dart
(41:21):
came back. He had no chance to win if Dart
wasn't on the field next.
Speaker 7 (41:26):
A league insider also recently said that he believes Howie
Roseman will try to move A. J.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Brown.
Speaker 7 (41:32):
What team do you think is a realistic destination for agents, Well, he.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Obviously won't be the Chargers, right. The Chargers need a
number one receiver. They need the top guy they've got.
You know, that's not the type of the Chargers normally make.
But that's the team that pops right at the very
top there, that stands out next.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
Over the weekend, Kendrick Perkins basically pleaded with Lebron James
to retire after this season.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
Do you think he'll do it? Yes, Lebron is gonna key,
He's gonna retire because Kendrick Perkins publicly to try to
get Clay and get people watching his stupid TV stuff, said, Lebron,
you should retire? Yeah, uh is Lebron'm gonna sell more
whiskey or Hennessy. That's what I want to know. How
do we do Ku passes it? That is they went
the guys I homeless.
