All right, So our lead this hour, we're gonna start
with baseball and the football Week seven of the NFL,
(02:28):
we'll mix that in as well. We're gonna start with
the baseball playoffs, the America League Championship Series. Oh God
one win see lead one wins Sunday night to get
it done. And while the NFL played from morning tonight
all day. There was just one Island game in Major
League Baseball. This was at one slot left in the
(02:49):
World Series and Seattle visiting the four to one six
area code and opportunity to punch their ticket to the
Fall Classic and a date with the Doyers, And that
was what was on the line. There is win. You
had two chances to win one game. But if you
win the first game, you know if we worry about
the second game. And so they sent out Logan Gilbert.
(03:11):
Seattle did to the man, all right, Logan Gilbert, just
give us a solid out and give us a chance
to win the game. Give us an opportunity to win
the game. And the opposition there for the Blue Jays,
they were with Trey you Savage, and how did that go? Well?
Vladdie Guerrero was laughing and smiling and having a grand
time as he was playing the role of spoiler. And
(03:34):
now he's set himself up. He had a home run
there if you didn't see it, sixth home run of
the postseason. Remember, I'm alding to remember those first couple
of games when the Blue Jays were terrible against the
Mariners and we were what's going on? What's going on?
With Ladimirguerre. Well he's back, so he goes and hits
his sixth home run. The rookie Treyy Savage struck out
(03:56):
seven in five and two thirds innings. I've told that's good.
The Blue jayss eight games. How cool is this game seven?
We got a game seven. It's on Monday night. There
they beat the Mariners six to two. They'll finally have
a better story is in the losing locker room, the
Seattle side of things, as the Mariners end up getting
(04:17):
waylaid by the Blue Jays in this game. They were
never had the lead, they never didn't play well. It
was sloppy all over the place. So let us discuss
the question. Though it's on the mound. The jumping off
point is on the mound. You had a rookie for
Toronto who went out there and he wasn't great, but
was better than the guy that the Mariners started. So
how do you explain how bad bad to the bone
(04:41):
Logan Gilbert was for the Mariners with a chance to
push Seattle to the World Series. So on this one,
I've got boombox, skinny jeans, and Carnival Cruise and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to have some delicious chocolate cookies, all right, So
a let's just call it what it is. Logan Gilbert
(05:05):
went out to the mound with the weight of legends
like Alvin Davis and Jim Presley and Jay Butter and
all these other old Mariners. He went out there on
the biggest stage of his life. He had pitched well
in the playoffs prior to the league championship series, right,
we saw him have some big starts against the big
appearances against the Detroit Tigers. And the lights got very
(05:26):
bright there and the Blue Jays cranked the volume up
to eleven. And how did that go? The pitcher there
melted like a snow cone in July. It did not
go very well. And all the success that he had
against the old English d and fizzled fast in this game.
You saw you know what I'm talking about. I was
on FS one here. The box score was bad. If
(05:48):
you didn't watch the game, Oh watch football, and so
I don't watch baseball. I shut up. So the box
score was bad. However, it felt much worse watching Logan
and Gilbert pitch, like I'm surprised it wasn't it was
more lopsided than it was the way he pitched. It
was a parade of base runners. Gilbert at this point
needed someone from Baywatch to come, and he needed a
lifeguard to help Monte was drowning on the mountain. Now, meanwhile,
(06:11):
the Blue Jays mentioned they sent the rookie out, Trey
Y Savage, who in many ways was like houdin the
getting out of jams here for the Toronto baseball team.
And Gilbert on the other side, even though he had
more experience, he's the one that needed a diaper change,
and he wasn't fooling anybody, and he couldn't work his
way out of issues. And the four seamer was flat,
(06:34):
as the guys like to say, and the slider no
bite you need? Where's the bite? There is no bite
on the slider. And so the flop sweat was pouring
down was not going well. In fact, you could have
filled a kiddie pool with the amount of choke that
was coming off Gilbert in this particular start against Toronto.
And so he gets to wear the Lettermans jacket. Congratulations
(06:57):
on this. You get the big l which is stitched
on to the Lettermans jacket. Loser and it was the theme.
If there was a song for this start for Logan Gilbert,
number thirty six in your program, but number zero in
your Mariner heard, that would be Bruce Springsteen getting out
the boombox there and cranking up the blinded by the light,
(07:17):
the light of the world series for Seattle was on
the line. And now now you screwed this up. And
so now we have a game seven and two starts
for Logan Gilbert in the American League Championship Series, and
the results were mixed. His ERI was not a seven
point seven to one earn run average for Logan Gilbert
(07:40):
in the American League Championship Series. That is bulletin board
worthy in Seattle, not in a good way. That is
tattoo worthy, the suck tattoo, Holy Canoli. So there you go.
Give up twelve hits in his two starts, eight runs,
seven earned, I believe is the numbers on that. Now. Meanwhile,
mention there's a game seven. Now it is down to
(08:01):
one night only in the American League Championship Series. So
the question is what are you most excited about in
anticipation of Game seven of the Alcs, the Jays and
the Mariners. The winner gets a chance to play the
Doyers in the Fall Classic. So this is game seven.
(08:24):
That Game five is good, but Game seven is better
than the game five. Like Game five we had Tigers
and Mariners played Game five when fifteen innings and all that.
Game seven though I know, it is pure cinema, pure cinema.
That's what we're gonna get here October baseball drama, o rama,
all of that. The stakes, the al pennant at the
(08:44):
end of the game on Monday night is e going
to be the Mariners win the pennant, the Mariners win
the pennant, or oh god, the Blue Jays are back
in the World Series for the first time in like
a gazillion years and all that stuff and a playdate.
As we mentioned with shoe hail Tani and the Doyers
in the twenty twenty five World Series. It is interesting
note if Toronto wins Game one of the World Series
(09:05):
would be Friday night in Ontario. If the Mariners win
Game one will be in Los Angeles with rush hour
traffic gridlock in LA on Friday night and rush hour.
Now here's what I love, get down to it. Here's
what it makes wain right. Everything that has happened is prologue,
everything that has taken place leading up to Game seven,
(09:27):
like all if you watched all six games of this
and the crazy start where the Mariners looked wonderful the
first two games, the Blue Jays looked like they were
they were going on vacation, and everything that changed when
we flipped up to across the North American content there
to Seattle. But the thing that's great is the it's
one game. It's analytics go out the window in manyways
(09:49):
because it's it's game seven. It's not you don't have
a large sample size. It's one game. That's it. The
scouting report says blah blah blah blah blah, but you
throw it in the trash. You can burn it, the
whole thing. And this is a night where careers are
defined and the marketing campaign about ah, the legends are
born in October. Well, legends are born in October, but
(10:10):
they also die in October too, and you have to
take a long time to recover from a stink bomb performance.
For example, you've got Vladimir Guerrero Junior on one side,
and there was a chance he would have just played
out the year and gone into the market as a
free agency, signed a forever contract with the Toronto Blue Jays,
(10:30):
so he's locked in there. He hasn't gotten it done
in the pluffs. This year is getting it done and
beat the Yankees up. But you look at an opportunity
to go to the World Series of the Blue Jays,
Holy Joe, Carter Batman have a chance to do that.
Cal Raley on the other side, this is uncharted territory.
Ken Griffy Junior and those great Mariner teams with a
(10:50):
Rod and those guys back in the day, and they
never got here. So these guys are either going to
be immortalized just by getting the World Series. And if
they win it, that's like a higher plane, that's like
a higher level in all And if they do get
this done to win the Pennant, then you get that
glossy World Series montage you're included in and all that.
And I'm gonna spend the next decades remember when they
(11:12):
won the Pennant. Oh man, this is a big deal.
We want to and if you lose, oh man, holy crap.
The whole building is going to be tight, which is great,
and we talk often about tight. Took a syndrome and
who can overcome that? And this is a great opportunity.
Who will succumb to that situation? It's kind of like
tight took a syndrome. How to describe it. It's kind
(11:34):
of like wearing skinny jeans and eating birthday meal and cake.
You know, suddenly those skinny jeans a little tight, little
tight things a little tight there. And so that's where
we are. You know, the Xanax will be going out
there like buttered popcorn at a movie theater. Everyone's gonna
be on it at at Loggers heads with with just
the moment. And I think it's great because somebody's gonna
(11:56):
choke epically and I will be here to document it. Now,
will we get had a choke job like that pitcher
for the Phillies that gag that series away on a
two hopper back to the mount He chucked the ball
behind the catcher and that was it for the Philadelphia Phillies. Now,
that would be extra special in a Game seven situation here,
But again, the matchups don't matter, home field doesn't matter.
(12:19):
There's no script at all that the breaking down launch
angles momentum, as John Smolts likes to say, all that
doesn't matter, all right, comes down to who doesn't soil
themselves in the moment in Game seven. So that's what
it's all about, that simple. And it's kind of like
(12:39):
the players on the Mariners and Blue Jays. You think
of them like tea bags, and you're gonna find out
what they're made of when they hit the hot water.
You know, not all tea bags are the same. There.
Ask Peyton Manning about that, now, Vladdie, he's gonna be
the man or is he gonna be the stooge? We
will find out. And you got the big dumper on
(13:00):
the other side about all the things that have been
said about his season, the most impressive playoff regular season combined,
if you get to the World Series, because the other
players that have hit all these home runs did not
finish the job, and if cal Raley can finish the job,
then okay. And so it's all hands on deck. Starters
will be coming out of the bullpen, you're gonna get that.
(13:22):
Closers will be in the sixth inning and we'll be there.
I'll be sitting down. I will watch the game for you.
If you don't care about baseball, I will watch the
Blue Jays and the Mariners, so you do not have
to all right, last word, we go to the NFL
the game of the day in Denver and we witness
one of the most pathetic choke jobs in the history
of pro football. It impossible happened because of absolute malfeasance
(13:46):
by the New York Giants, period stop, no real debate
about that. And my god, the Giants were up nineteen
to nothing against the Broncos going to the fourth quarter,
a Denver team that was just not their day. They
were behind the eight ball. Maybe they were using eight ball,
I don't know. They were just terrible. And somehow the Giants,
(14:10):
because of their generosity, they managed to screw things up
so royally that they allowed the Denver Broncos to score
thirty three points in the final fifteen minutes and lost.
The Giants did on a walk off field goal. How
is that even possible? That's a biblical choke job. They'll
be in the Bible. It's a King James Bible. It's
(14:32):
in there somewhere. That is believe. NFL teams. They had
the stat NFL teams sixteen hundred and two straight games
when leading by eighteen or more points. They had won.
So you know it's announcers always said, well, you never know,
this team could come back. No, ninety nine percent of
the time, the team never comes back. This ninety nine
point nine percent of line doesn't happen. This time it happened,
(14:58):
and my god, Brian day Ball, let's discuss the question
who's most responsible the better story on the losing side,
who's most responsible for Brian Dave Balls Giants doing the
belly whopper and getting smoked in the fourth quarter by
the Denver Broncos. So this was not a partial collapse.
This was a full monty collapse, from soup to nuts,
(15:22):
from A to z any other way you want to
say it, and all three phases of suck, which is impressive, right.
You add the special teams. The idiot kicker for the
Giants missed multiple, multiple extra points, so that's an f up.
You've got the defense with sloppy tackling, just generally lazy
(15:43):
football by the Giants after playing really solid. I thought
for the maybe I was wrong, got the first three quarters,
I thought they looked pretty good. You've got the offense
with the rookie Jackson Dart, the new Messiah, the new Savior,
of the Giants, and Jackson Jackson Dark goes out there
and stunk it up in the fourth quarter, had an
(16:06):
interception that helped fuel the comeback. Without that, Denver doesn't
have enough gusto to come back and win the game.
And so you mix in coaching malpractice with lase a
fair lazy river football by the Giants, and you have
been able to achieve the unachievable. Congratulations, congratulating, just when
(16:28):
you thought the Giants had turned the corner and they'd
arrived and okay, they got their quarterback, they got Scataboo
scataboo boo, he's got the name and all that. All right, Well,
here's Brian Dayball, who should be unemployed at this point
but apparently is not, and here is him trying to
spin the unspinnable. Let's take a list. Yeah, tough loss, loss,
(16:50):
So not a lot of talking that needs to be
done when you lose a game like that. Everybody gave
everything they had. Oh they did really. Okay, you didn't
look like it on my TV. Made my TV's an
old TV. Maybe that's the problem, because it looked like
they thought the game was over and uh yeah, wow
wow wow, wow wow, Wow, all right, so mentioned Jackson Dart.
Not good, not good. Uh, just all of it was
(17:14):
was god awful. Here is Dart on how you quarterback
the game. I don't care if you're a rookie or not.
You quarterbacked were the greatest choke jobs with like five
minutes ago, the Broncos were getting smoked and they came back.
Explain yourself, Jackson Dart. I never felt we were gonna
lose the game, So you know, I looked at the
clock when they scored, I said, and we got a
(17:36):
lot of time left I had. I had no doubt
that we were gonna go down there and score. Well,
guess what your defense, you didn't. You didn't you left
too much time or whatever. The Giants took a carnival
cruise and the destination they clearly did not look at
the destination. Their cruise was titled crap your Pants, and
(17:57):
they crapped their pants right there mile high crap, which
I think is better for you. It clears out your system.
So congratulations, and bow Nicks, the beneficiary of all this,
who stunk for three quarters right, Broncos had nothing going
on offensively, and then he turns into John Elway in
the final fifteen minutes. Here Nicks had one hundred and
(18:18):
seventy four yards passing forty six yards on the ground.
In the fourth quarter, it converted a bunch of two
point conversions, had two touchdowns on the ground, two through
the air, and again not possible without football incompetence by
the New York Giants. There. The Giants were thunderstruck. They thought, well,
just like Jackson Dart said that, ah, we have plenty
(18:39):
of time. Well, we're gonna win this game. Don't worry
that we have such a big league the Broncos can't
come back. And then the Broncos came back, So the
Giants gave them oxygen. So does Brian day Ball survive
as coach of the Giants? Now, you'd say he shouldn't.
He doesn't deserve when you look at his resume and
how horrific the Giants have been. What a laughing stock,
(19:03):
what a fraudulent franchise the Giants have been for years
since he took over. And you think, well, you fight it,
but then that's the Giants. Don't do that. This should
have been fired two years ago. Brian dave Ball should
have been let go. It's a joke. But that's how
the Giants operator. That's why they're frauds. The New York
Giants are frauds. They they allow this kind of crap
to go on, this malfeasance. Brian Brian Dabole, who's clearly
(19:26):
incompetent as a head coach. I mean, my god, that
Denver the Giants with the interception and some sloppy tackling
and some penalties whatever. The Giants gave the Broncos a
little bit of oxygen and they went through that door
like it was a Black Friday sale at Walmart. Uh.
They were just going for it. Uh. And if that
doesn't get you fired, what else? I would have had
(19:49):
him fired multiple times? What else does one have to
do to lose their job. He's a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm he's good. He's a nice guy. Congratulations, glowing stories
about oneonderful person. The writers like him. Paul again, you
give them thirty three points in the fourth quarter. Me,
I'm guaranteeing you. The tabloids in New York already had
the headline the Giants are gonna win the game. They're
ready to go, and then poop, surprise, surprise, surprise, you
(20:16):
lose a game like that, you should be sent to
the Who's Gout.

Putting the Dirty in Dirty Bird, It's welome. In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malar Show, we
are in the air, ay where comrades as we are.
You're all night psychologists, co stuck coast, sport, of the
(21:17):
Border and beyond. On the vast and nurshingly powerful microphones
of fs are ammnating live from the Fund.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The Hedge Fund of Sports takes in the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Perito and mad Jack.
They both give the old thumbs up on that. This
portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible
in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
(21:51):
fast and free and back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, which makes
mister nice guy very happy. Hieraq dot com the way
tire buying should be. The show also sponsored in part

are on DraftKings, type that code in so our lead.
This hour is from Santa Clara, some thirty six miles
(22:37):
south of San Francisco. That is where the forty nine
ers play their games, and it was prime time. Well
primetime NFL football. You had Michael Pennix Junior and the
Atlanta Falcons looking to keep up the good vibe ridtion.
The Falcons have arrived. They beat the Buffalo Bills. They've arrived.
You all told me that they've arrived. Okay, So, taking
(22:59):
on Lovly Jones and the forty nine ers and a
bunch of backups playing for the Niners, you had Mike
Tarrico and Chris Collinsworth bloviating from the press box about
this game. So I don't know if you were watching
it or not. Perhaps not a low scoring, boring, low
scoring game. You had Christian McCaffrey rumblin and stumble one
(23:22):
hundred and twenty nine yards on the ground, two touchdowns,
and when you combine the yards he got receiving, he
went over two hundred yards, his fourth two hundred yard
plus game from scrimmage in the last six years. And
the shorthanded the left for dead forty nine Ers deliver
on the ground. Their defense made some plays and down
(23:46):
gows Atlanta, down goals Atlanta twenty to ten the final
on the Sunday night game. The Niners win for the
fourth time in five starts this season, with backup Mac Jones.
That's right, they've won four. Now Mac Jones did not
play well. We're not going to get another Mallard monologue
about how mac Jones has suddenly found himself with the Niners.
It was a stinking type performance there for Jones in
(24:10):
place of brock Purty. But it didn't matter in the
end because the Niners win the game anyway, all right,
So that is a Gould jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question the better story in the losing locker room.
So with that as the backdrop, where does this loss?
Where does this loss to the Niners leave forty nine
ers or leaves the Falcons coach? The Falcons coach for
(24:32):
him Moore? So where you lose to the Niners. You
got a bunch of backups, And the question is where
does this loss leave the Falcons with Raheem Morris as
their coach. So I've got confessional booth, elbow, and streisand
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a couple of touchdowns something
(24:52):
the Falcons did not score. They didn't score more than
one touchdown in this game. So number one. This was
billed as a stepping Stone game. The Falcons, according to
the gamble we market, were expected to win this game,
prime audience, national television, the whole thing, beaten and broken,
(25:16):
forty nine er defense who let the stars out? There's
no stars left. And so clearly without Nick Boso, who's
been out for several weeks, and now Fred Warner, oh
my ankle, Fred Warner down for the count. You got
the JV squad wearing those Red Niners uniforms, and clearly
they're not up to the challenge to stop Atlanta. Well,
(25:40):
they tripped, is what happened here. And not just a
little stumble either for the Atlanta Falcons. They face planted
in the mud, right in the mud there. And that
was a puke in your mouth bad type performance for
the once proud Atlanta Falcons. As life comes at you
fast in the big city. And so they were the
toast of the NFL last week. And this continues the
(26:00):
trend with Raheem Morris. This is vintage coaching from Raheem Morris.
We've seen this in the past, We've just seen it
again here. He is the yo yo of coaches up
and down, up, been down. That's a yo yo And
in this game, the Niners bottling up for much of
the game, but Jehan Robinson from impact game changing plays.
(26:25):
So the game was in the hands of Michael Pennex
Junior to rise on up, be the alpha, not the Omega.
I don't need know Omegan. I don't even know betas.
I need an alpha and command the moment, right, big moment.
Everyone watching, who's not watching the baseball game, this is
your opportunity right here. How did that go? Well? You
(26:48):
know the result and if you watch the game, you
know that. With the game on the line in the
fourth quarter, Michael Pennex Junior was neck deep and quicksand
he got into the cockpit of the vomit comet and
was terrible. How bad was it in the fourth quarter?
Four of eleven passing for forty nine yards, obviously no
(27:09):
touchdowns as the Atlanta Falcons failed to score in the
fourth quarter of a close game. It was a one
score game for much of the second half of the game,
but they end up losing. This four of eleven, forty
nine yards for Michael Pennex Junior. And hey, if you
want to be a big boy team, you don't need
me to tell you this. If you want to be
(27:29):
one of the top teams in the NFL. You can't
play like that. That ain't it. Okay, that ain't it?
Whatever that was, that ain't it? And Pennex looked like
yet again, he lacked a higher gear. We've seen this
a lot. He looks like a middle of the pack
NFL quarterback. Doesn't look bad. He just doesn't look that good. Pennix,
and that if you need your quarterback to step up
(27:50):
and make plays late in the game, he's not the guy.
You're not that guy, Palt, You're not that guy. And
so I have Atlanta on my big board, not a
list to Terry in England, but my big board, Atlanta
is a faux contender. They are a faux contender. I
don't think I'm seriously, I don't and until proven otherwise.
(28:11):
Raheem Morris. That's the standard for the teams that he
has coached, mentioned up and down the Yo Yo And
they had the razzle dazzle at home, and one week
they bring the razzle dazzle, and then the next week
it's a tire fire, and this week it was a
tire fire. Atlanta is not a real threat in the NFC.
(28:32):
If you played Lanta in the playoffs. You're not really
worried about it. As long as you're showing up and
you pay attention, you'll beat them. They'll blow it. They'll
blow it. They'll they'll screw it up. So you had
that now. Meanwhile, the second part of this, all the
buzz and they made this a feature on the NBC broadcast,
was about the running backs, and they were featured. They
(28:53):
were the stars, the quarterbacks. It's like a throwback game
to the old days when the quarterbacks went out the
big stars. It was more about the the running backs.
And so you had Falcons coach again, Raheem Morris, who
recently called running Backjon Robinson the best, the best player
in the NFL without a doubt. He said, without a doubt,
(29:14):
the best player. Now you and I know that the
term best, the legal definition, is as good as all
the rest. However, there's a glitch in the human condition
where people hear that and they assume, well, that means
better than everything else. But the best technically means just
as good as all the orsts. And Raheem Morris didn't
mean it to say that Bjon Robinson was as good
as every other running back. He said it in a
(29:36):
way to indicate that this guy is better than everyone else.
So the hype game is strong in Atlanta, and the
question how lopsided? Was the head to head match up
between the Falconsjon Robinson, who according to his coach, is
the best player in the NFL without a doubt, and
(29:57):
the forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey. So side by side,
this was a crime scene. Robinson was bludgeoned in the
side by side blind Soda challenge. He was and that
was a k oh A knockout, it was. And so
Atlanta hyped this guy up and all that, and then
(30:18):
reality came flying at him like a folding chair at
a professional wrestling event. McCaffrey delivered the elbow, but not
just any elbow. There was the atomic elbow from the
top rope for Christian McCaffrey. And it wasn't even close. Now,
you got Jean Robinson out there, who had twenty two
touches for ninety yards. He averaged four point six yards
per touch, which is fine, it's respectable four point six
(30:41):
yards per touch. But then you look across the field
at Christian McCaffrey. How did he do thirty one touches
two hundred and one yards, had one hundred and eleven
more yards, averaged almost six and a half yards per touch,
scored two touchdowns. That is a grown man performance by
Christian McCaffrey and really a masterclass in the side by side.
(31:05):
In the side by side there, Atlanta gave a lot
of hype, a lot of build up to Bejon Robinson,
and he played well in the game last week. But
here's another opportunity against a woe begone forty nine er defense,
a defense that is tattered, and what did you do?
And not enough? Not enough. McCaffrey gave it the land
(31:26):
of the blueprint on what a big time back looks
like in that environment. And again no Fred Warner. They
showed him on TV there he was dapping his buddies
after the game there and I think I was on
crutches here like a scooter thing. See that. Nick Bosa
also long gone. That's the stars, those are the stars.
(31:46):
That's it. There's a starless night for the forty nine
ers defense. And so a bunch of flotsam and jetsam
wearing forty nine or laundry. The backup singers if you will,
and they sung a nice melody the backup singers hid
a nice melody there and kept Pajon Robinson in check.
And so you know what, the what the best thing,
(32:10):
I mean, there's a lot, there's a lot of good
things about it, but the best thing in the NFL
of running back and do is not get bottled up
in the fourth quarter of a prime time game. But
you're trying to claim you're the top running back in
the NFL, right, I mean, come on, McCaffrey, didn't you
take over the game? You drag your team to victory.
(32:30):
Neither team had a good quarterback. Mac Jones and pan
X with the quarterbacks in this game, and you know,
don't get manageable numbers. You got to do better than that.
And against the defense that's running on fumes. And so
they held San Francisco. The Falcons defense actually wasn't terrible.
They held the forty nine ers to twenty points. And
(32:51):
you'd say, okay, you're the better team, you're expected to
win based on the gambling market and all that, and
you're Atlanta. You've got the best player in the NF
fell and yeah, so the Falcons wanted They're like the
kid that wanted Captain Crunch, like I would like captain crunch,
And the parents went to the store and said, well,
we can't afford captain crunch, so we're gonna get your
(33:11):
captain munch. It's like Captain crunch, but it's just a
little saugear. It doesn't hold its crunch, so you gotta
eat it right away. Yeah, that's it. So McCaffrey over
there playing the banjo's got the like Dick and Dayton.
He's got the banjo going there, and the house is
burning down all around the Falcons. They're toured one total
yards controlling the game. It was so bad. How bad
(33:34):
was it? The Falcons did not have the right personnel
on the field in the fourth quarter of that game.
They failed to have the right personnel on the field.
How does that happen? It's week seven, it's not week
one where you didn't have training camp. Another embarrassment for
Rahie Morris and his coaching staff. There on the biggest
(33:54):
defensive play of the game, the Atlanta Falcons were missing
the eleventh man. They decided, you know what, we're so good,
we'll play with ten. How did that work out? Don't
ask all right now? Meanwhile, final point, we pivot away
from the Sunday night game and we go to Dallas,
but it's really about Washington, and we go to Jerry's
world where the Cowboys somehow kicked the ass of the
(34:19):
command What happened to the commanders? I thought they were good?
Apparently not so. In this game, there was an injury
which led to a mama running to defend her child.
Jaden Daniel's mother, who happens to be his agent, is
upset if you're questioning her son and his injury pattern
(34:42):
developing hot dot dot dot. Jayden Daniel's mom went on
social media very upset that people are comparing her son
Jaden Daniels to RG three. All right, So, after Daniels
suffered a hamstring injury came out of the game against
the Cowboys on Sunday again that was lopsided, She asked
(35:03):
the fans on social media. She said, stop manifesting RG three.
She said, I wish you would stop it. Words are powerful.
RG three's mom said, or RG three. Jade Daniel's mom said,
words are powerful and that's all that's talked about. So
she was upset that her kids being compared again, Jade
(35:26):
and Daniels being compared to RG three so the question
how do you digest Jadeen Daniel's mom lecturing the Commander
fan base about manifesting r G three on her son,
And so it's a little bit of like Ricky Bobby
type stuff in this, right, I got. I got the
(35:47):
Ricky Bobby vibe I did. I was like that famous
scene from the movie back in the day and you're like,
all right, so don't put that voodoo on me. It
was that kind of thing, and so like what are
we doing here? Though? Seriously, I mean I digested, it
(36:07):
does not digest very well, and it's an unforced are
you you can write that? And as the tar shows,
I'm I'm very happy that she wrote what she wrote,
But if I was advising her like this, you write
that out. There's a famous story about Abraham Lincoln back
in the day and he'd have the the the unsent letters. Well,
he'd write these really nasty lever letters like you know
(36:28):
MF and the people that were his enemies and politically,
and he just he would never send them, and he'd
write on them unsent, do not send. Whatever He'd write
on the letter, and he'd put it in a drawer
in his desk and like that's the thing. You can
write it, but you cannot send it, Like, what do
you do? It's an unforced ara, as we said, bad
job by her. No one made her do it. No
(36:49):
one said you gotta do this, you go, no, no
one begged hers. I gotta get Jadeen Daniel's mom's take
on what social media is saying about her kid. Did
anyone say No one said that. No one said that.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
And I get Oh, she's a protective mama bear. I
understand that. But she saw people comparing her kid to
Robert Griffin, iid, and she got emotional and she clicks send.
You cannot do that. And now now it's headlines. I'm
talking about it. Everyone's yapping about it. Who cares about
this kind of crap? And it's like, oh, it's the
Streisan effect, is what it is. It's a total strize
(37:24):
and effect. She just poured unleaded gasoline on what was
a small, contained wildfire and nobody was manifesting anything that
can't happen on social media. It's all fake. Uh. And
if the fans and media are pointing out the obvious,
the obvious Heela monster in the room, the parallels between
(37:48):
the Heisman winner, second overall pick, goes to Washington, has
a good start to their career, and then has a
nice big bowl of snap crackle pop. Okay, that's not
again manifesting. That's football talk. That's what it is. You
put a quarterback in the DC area and they have
(38:12):
an injury after year one and say, well, here we go, yeah,
RG three. That is a natural comp That is a
natural comparison, and every man, woman and child knows it.
That's just what it And she made it worse like
she's somehow. Now the story isn't hey Jade and Daniels
tweaked his hammy, hope he's okay, injured against the Cowboys. No, no, no, no.
(38:33):
The story now is Jaden Daniel's mom snaps it fans online.
Angry lady, that's the headline. Boom done, that's your headline.
Couldn't have been the headline if she didn't click send.
It's unnecessary noise. The Commanders are a losing football team.
You are what your record says you are. Sorry, Rick
(38:54):
and Maryland. More than time when you wake up in
the morning, they have a losing record and their quarterback.
Let's be honest, not the firecracker. He was last year
just kind of there, fifteenth in QBR in the NFL,
middle of the pack. He is a jag, not a
Jacksonville jack. Just a guy. He's just a guy and
(39:17):
not a human highlight film like he had been. And
he gave the game away against the Chicago Bears with
that mistake on a rainy night. And here against the Cowboys,
who were the worst defense in the NFL, it wasn't
even close. And the Commanders and he said, well, he
got hurt. Yes, Jade Daniels got hurt. They were losing
(39:37):
before he got hurt. He wasn't playing well before he
left the game. It's not like all of a sudden
once he got hurt, the Commanders blew the lead. So
he's not the human highlight reel Jaden Daniels that he
had been. And the Mallard PSA again, this is a
Mallard PSA, very simple. You can't win the fight with
social media. Cannot do it, cannot do it. The mob
(39:58):
loves the story like this eating Frenzy. It's like Piranha
with blood in the water. You tell social media, which
is mostly fake anyway, you say listen, don't say what
you're saying it's a bad take by you bad take by.
You're gonna you're gonna get it louder. You're gonna get
memes is what you're gonna get the whole thing. And
(40:21):
you just created that. That's your creation, not my creation.
That's your creation. Every hamstring tweak from now on, anytime
Jade Daniels has a poor performance, this will again be
brought up. And it's like yelling at the going to
the ocean and yelling at a wave to not crash,
do not crash wave. Okay, well, good luck, good luck
(40:44):
on that. So not everything in I know, it's shocking.
Not everything needs to be on social media. I'm on
there during the show for real time feedback. I'm very
rarely on there during the day. I popped out a
couple times this weekend for listener engagement, but other than that,
not very much. So sometimes the best thing you can
do is appsolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Smaller, how about that? To the third degree?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
This is one big gets quailed all right?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Cool?
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Ben lsu fans are losing patients with head coach Brian
Kelly following Saturday's lost to Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
A lot of them want him to go the way
of James Franklin. Do you think that's gonna happen? Well,
if you can come with the money. It's always about
the money, right, It's about the buy out. And Brian Kelly,
you knew right away that was not going to work
when he was doing the fake voice when he showed
up there. And I get this, since they're not going
to come up with the money, Otherwise they would have
(41:42):
already fired Brian Kelly. So the fact that he hasn't
been fired and we've seen that, Listen, Penn State got
rid of their coach, Florida's got rid of their coach.
The fact that they have not gotten rid of him yet.
I think the buyout. What did I read the buyout was?
It was like, guy, it was like fifty million dollars
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (41:59):
So yeah, on that next, all right, So the San
Francisco Giants are about to do something that nobody's ever
done before. They're going to hire a new manager, Tony Vittello,
who is the manager of the Tennessee Balls college baseball team. Yeah,
never been a path like this to uh, you know,
major league manager managing Ben. Do you think it's a
good idea?
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Well, he hasn't been hired yet, right like the report
was he was going to get the job, and then
there was a story last night that said he's torn
about the job. I don't think it matters because these,
you know, my theory coopers, the front office dictates everything.
Maybe the gatz will be different, and Buster Posey's an
old school guy, so maybe it'd be different. But otherwise
he's just a puppet. You can hire me next.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Ben Carmelo Anthony said that the Cleveland Cavaliers they just
need to change their mentality because they've won a bunch
of games, but they keep getting knocked out the same stage.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Do you think that's the problem, a mental problem? No, Spider,
Mitchell's got to be better. You listen to guy. They've
fallen apart in big games. He's the star. It happened
in Utah too. How do we do you passed? That's
what I want the guys hollering James I won.

All right, So our lead this hour, we're gonna start
with baseball and the football Week seven of the NFL,
(02:28):
we'll mix that in as well. We're gonna start with
the baseball playoffs, the America League Championship Series. Oh God
one win see lead one wins Sunday night to get
it done. And while the NFL played from morning tonight
all day. There was just one Island game in Major
League Baseball. This was at one slot left in the
(02:49):
World Series and Seattle visiting the four to one six
area code and opportunity to punch their ticket to the
Fall Classic and a date with the Doyers, And that
was what was on the line. There is win. You
had two chances to win one game. But if you
win the first game, you know if we worry about
the second game. And so they sent out Logan Gilbert.
(03:11):
Seattle did to the man, all right, Logan Gilbert, just
give us a solid out and give us a chance
to win the game. Give us an opportunity to win
the game. And the opposition there for the Blue Jays,
they were with Trey you Savage, and how did that go? Well?
Vladdie Guerrero was laughing and smiling and having a grand
time as he was playing the role of spoiler. And
(03:34):
now he's set himself up. He had a home run
there if you didn't see it, sixth home run of
the postseason. Remember, I'm alding to remember those first couple
of games when the Blue Jays were terrible against the
Mariners and we were what's going on? What's going on?
With Ladimirguerre. Well he's back, so he goes and hits
his sixth home run. The rookie Treyy Savage struck out
(03:56):
seven in five and two thirds innings. I've told that's good.
The Blue jayss eight games. How cool is this game seven?
We got a game seven. It's on Monday night. There
they beat the Mariners six to two. They'll finally have
a better story is in the losing locker room, the
Seattle side of things, as the Mariners end up getting
(04:17):
waylaid by the Blue Jays in this game. They were
never had the lead, they never didn't play well. It
was sloppy all over the place. So let us discuss
the question. Though it's on the mound. The jumping off
point is on the mound. You had a rookie for
Toronto who went out there and he wasn't great, but
was better than the guy that the Mariners started. So
how do you explain how bad bad to the bone
(04:41):
Logan Gilbert was for the Mariners with a chance to
push Seattle to the World Series. So on this one,
I've got boombox, skinny jeans, and Carnival Cruise and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to have some delicious chocolate cookies, all right, So
a let's just call it what it is. Logan Gilbert
(05:05):
went out to the mound with the weight of legends
like Alvin Davis and Jim Presley and Jay Butter and
all these other old Mariners. He went out there on
the biggest stage of his life. He had pitched well
in the playoffs prior to the league championship series, right,
we saw him have some big starts against the big
appearances against the Detroit Tigers. And the lights got very
(05:26):
bright there and the Blue Jays cranked the volume up
to eleven. And how did that go? The pitcher there
melted like a snow cone in July. It did not
go very well. And all the success that he had
against the old English d and fizzled fast in this game.
You saw you know what I'm talking about. I was
on FS one here. The box score was bad. If
(05:48):
you didn't watch the game, Oh watch football, and so
I don't watch baseball. I shut up. So the box
score was bad. However, it felt much worse watching Logan
and Gilbert pitch, like I'm surprised it wasn't it was
more lopsided than it was the way he pitched. It
was a parade of base runners. Gilbert at this point
needed someone from Baywatch to come, and he needed a
lifeguard to help Monte was drowning on the mountain. Now, meanwhile,
(06:11):
the Blue Jays mentioned they sent the rookie out, Trey
Y Savage, who in many ways was like houdin the
getting out of jams here for the Toronto baseball team.
And Gilbert on the other side, even though he had
more experience, he's the one that needed a diaper change,
and he wasn't fooling anybody, and he couldn't work his
way out of issues. And the four seamer was flat,
(06:34):
as the guys like to say, and the slider no
bite you need? Where's the bite? There is no bite
on the slider. And so the flop sweat was pouring
down was not going well. In fact, you could have
filled a kiddie pool with the amount of choke that
was coming off Gilbert in this particular start against Toronto.
And so he gets to wear the Lettermans jacket. Congratulations
(06:57):
on this. You get the big l which is stitched
on to the Lettermans jacket. Loser and it was the theme.
If there was a song for this start for Logan Gilbert,
number thirty six in your program, but number zero in
your Mariner heard, that would be Bruce Springsteen getting out
the boombox there and cranking up the blinded by the light,
(07:17):
the light of the world series for Seattle was on
the line. And now now you screwed this up. And
so now we have a game seven and two starts
for Logan Gilbert in the American League Championship Series, and
the results were mixed. His ERI was not a seven
point seven to one earn run average for Logan Gilbert
(07:40):
in the American League Championship Series. That is bulletin board
worthy in Seattle, not in a good way. That is
tattoo worthy, the suck tattoo, Holy Canoli. So there you go.
Give up twelve hits in his two starts, eight runs,
seven earned, I believe is the numbers on that. Now. Meanwhile,
mention there's a game seven. Now it is down to
(08:01):
one night only in the American League Championship Series. So
the question is what are you most excited about in
anticipation of Game seven of the Alcs, the Jays and
the Mariners. The winner gets a chance to play the
Doyers in the Fall Classic. So this is game seven.
(08:24):
That Game five is good, but Game seven is better
than the game five. Like Game five we had Tigers
and Mariners played Game five when fifteen innings and all that.
Game seven though I know, it is pure cinema, pure cinema.
That's what we're gonna get here October baseball drama, o rama,
all of that. The stakes, the al pennant at the
(08:44):
end of the game on Monday night is e going
to be the Mariners win the pennant, the Mariners win
the pennant, or oh god, the Blue Jays are back
in the World Series for the first time in like
a gazillion years and all that stuff and a playdate.
As we mentioned with shoe hail Tani and the Doyers
in the twenty twenty five World Series. It is interesting
note if Toronto wins Game one of the World Series
(09:05):
would be Friday night in Ontario. If the Mariners win
Game one will be in Los Angeles with rush hour
traffic gridlock in LA on Friday night and rush hour.
Now here's what I love, get down to it. Here's
what it makes wain right. Everything that has happened is prologue,
everything that has taken place leading up to Game seven,
(09:27):
like all if you watched all six games of this
and the crazy start where the Mariners looked wonderful the
first two games, the Blue Jays looked like they were
they were going on vacation, and everything that changed when
we flipped up to across the North American content there
to Seattle. But the thing that's great is the it's
one game. It's analytics go out the window in manyways
(09:49):
because it's it's game seven. It's not you don't have
a large sample size. It's one game. That's it. The
scouting report says blah blah blah blah blah, but you
throw it in the trash. You can burn it, the
whole thing. And this is a night where careers are
defined and the marketing campaign about ah, the legends are
born in October. Well, legends are born in October, but
(10:10):
they also die in October too, and you have to
take a long time to recover from a stink bomb performance.
For example, you've got Vladimir Guerrero Junior on one side,
and there was a chance he would have just played
out the year and gone into the market as a
free agency, signed a forever contract with the Toronto Blue Jays,
(10:30):
so he's locked in there. He hasn't gotten it done
in the pluffs. This year is getting it done and
beat the Yankees up. But you look at an opportunity
to go to the World Series of the Blue Jays,
Holy Joe, Carter Batman have a chance to do that.
Cal Raley on the other side, this is uncharted territory.
Ken Griffy Junior and those great Mariner teams with a
(10:50):
Rod and those guys back in the day, and they
never got here. So these guys are either going to
be immortalized just by getting the World Series. And if
they win it, that's like a higher plane, that's like
a higher level in all And if they do get
this done to win the Pennant, then you get that
glossy World Series montage you're included in and all that.
And I'm gonna spend the next decades remember when they
(11:12):
won the Pennant. Oh man, this is a big deal.
We want to and if you lose, oh man, holy crap.
The whole building is going to be tight, which is great,
and we talk often about tight. Took a syndrome and
who can overcome that? And this is a great opportunity.
Who will succumb to that situation? It's kind of like
tight took a syndrome. How to describe it. It's kind
(11:34):
of like wearing skinny jeans and eating birthday meal and cake.
You know, suddenly those skinny jeans a little tight, little
tight things a little tight there. And so that's where
we are. You know, the Xanax will be going out
there like buttered popcorn at a movie theater. Everyone's gonna
be on it at at Loggers heads with with just
the moment. And I think it's great because somebody's gonna
(11:56):
choke epically and I will be here to document it. Now,
will we get had a choke job like that pitcher
for the Phillies that gag that series away on a
two hopper back to the mount He chucked the ball
behind the catcher and that was it for the Philadelphia Phillies. Now,
that would be extra special in a Game seven situation here,
But again, the matchups don't matter, home field doesn't matter.
(12:19):
There's no script at all that the breaking down launch
angles momentum, as John Smolts likes to say, all that
doesn't matter, all right, comes down to who doesn't soil
themselves in the moment in Game seven. So that's what
it's all about, that simple. And it's kind of like
(12:39):
the players on the Mariners and Blue Jays. You think
of them like tea bags, and you're gonna find out
what they're made of when they hit the hot water.
You know, not all tea bags are the same. There.
Ask Peyton Manning about that, now, Vladdie, he's gonna be
the man or is he gonna be the stooge? We
will find out. And you got the big dumper on
(13:00):
the other side about all the things that have been
said about his season, the most impressive playoff regular season combined,
if you get to the World Series, because the other
players that have hit all these home runs did not
finish the job, and if cal Raley can finish the job,
then okay. And so it's all hands on deck. Starters
will be coming out of the bullpen, you're gonna get that.
(13:22):
Closers will be in the sixth inning and we'll be there.
I'll be sitting down. I will watch the game for you.
If you don't care about baseball, I will watch the
Blue Jays and the Mariners, so you do not have
to all right, last word, we go to the NFL
the game of the day in Denver and we witness
one of the most pathetic choke jobs in the history
of pro football. It impossible happened because of absolute malfeasance
(13:46):
by the New York Giants, period stop, no real debate
about that. And my god, the Giants were up nineteen
to nothing against the Broncos going to the fourth quarter,
a Denver team that was just not their day. They
were behind the eight ball. Maybe they were using eight ball,
I don't know. They were just terrible. And somehow the Giants,
(14:10):
because of their generosity, they managed to screw things up
so royally that they allowed the Denver Broncos to score
thirty three points in the final fifteen minutes and lost.
The Giants did on a walk off field goal. How
is that even possible? That's a biblical choke job. They'll
be in the Bible. It's a King James Bible. It's
(14:32):
in there somewhere. That is believe. NFL teams. They had
the stat NFL teams sixteen hundred and two straight games
when leading by eighteen or more points. They had won.
So you know it's announcers always said, well, you never know,
this team could come back. No, ninety nine percent of
the time, the team never comes back. This ninety nine
point nine percent of line doesn't happen. This time it happened,
(14:58):
and my god, Brian day Ball, let's discuss the question
who's most responsible the better story on the losing side,
who's most responsible for Brian Dave Balls Giants doing the
belly whopper and getting smoked in the fourth quarter by
the Denver Broncos. So this was not a partial collapse.
This was a full monty collapse, from soup to nuts,
(15:22):
from A to z any other way you want to
say it, and all three phases of suck, which is impressive, right.
You add the special teams. The idiot kicker for the
Giants missed multiple, multiple extra points, so that's an f up.
You've got the defense with sloppy tackling, just generally lazy
(15:43):
football by the Giants after playing really solid. I thought
for the maybe I was wrong, got the first three quarters,
I thought they looked pretty good. You've got the offense
with the rookie Jackson Dart, the new Messiah, the new Savior,
of the Giants, and Jackson Jackson Dark goes out there
and stunk it up in the fourth quarter, had an
(16:06):
interception that helped fuel the comeback. Without that, Denver doesn't
have enough gusto to come back and win the game.
And so you mix in coaching malpractice with lase a
fair lazy river football by the Giants, and you have
been able to achieve the unachievable. Congratulations, congratulating, just when
(16:28):
you thought the Giants had turned the corner and they'd
arrived and okay, they got their quarterback, they got Scataboo
scataboo boo, he's got the name and all that. All right, Well,
here's Brian Dayball, who should be unemployed at this point
but apparently is not, and here is him trying to
spin the unspinnable. Let's take a list. Yeah, tough loss, loss,
(16:50):
So not a lot of talking that needs to be
done when you lose a game like that. Everybody gave
everything they had. Oh they did really. Okay, you didn't
look like it on my TV. Made my TV's an
old TV. Maybe that's the problem, because it looked like
they thought the game was over and uh yeah, wow
wow wow, wow wow, Wow, all right, so mentioned Jackson Dart.
Not good, not good. Uh, just all of it was
(17:14):
was god awful. Here is Dart on how you quarterback
the game. I don't care if you're a rookie or not.
You quarterbacked were the greatest choke jobs with like five
minutes ago, the Broncos were getting smoked and they came back.
Explain yourself, Jackson Dart. I never felt we were gonna
lose the game, So you know, I looked at the
clock when they scored, I said, and we got a
(17:36):
lot of time left I had. I had no doubt
that we were gonna go down there and score. Well,
guess what your defense, you didn't. You didn't you left
too much time or whatever. The Giants took a carnival
cruise and the destination they clearly did not look at
the destination. Their cruise was titled crap your Pants, and
(17:57):
they crapped their pants right there mile high crap, which
I think is better for you. It clears out your system.
So congratulations, and bow Nicks, the beneficiary of all this,
who stunk for three quarters right, Broncos had nothing going
on offensively, and then he turns into John Elway in
the final fifteen minutes. Here Nicks had one hundred and
(18:18):
seventy four yards passing forty six yards on the ground.
In the fourth quarter, it converted a bunch of two
point conversions, had two touchdowns on the ground, two through
the air, and again not possible without football incompetence by
the New York Giants. There. The Giants were thunderstruck. They thought, well,
just like Jackson Dart said that, ah, we have plenty
(18:39):
of time. Well, we're gonna win this game. Don't worry
that we have such a big league the Broncos can't
come back. And then the Broncos came back, So the
Giants gave them oxygen. So does Brian day Ball survive
as coach of the Giants? Now, you'd say he shouldn't.
He doesn't deserve when you look at his resume and
how horrific the Giants have been. What a laughing stock,
(19:03):
what a fraudulent franchise the Giants have been for years
since he took over. And you think, well, you fight it,
but then that's the Giants. Don't do that. This should
have been fired two years ago. Brian dave Ball should
have been let go. It's a joke. But that's how
the Giants operator. That's why they're frauds. The New York
Giants are frauds. They they allow this kind of crap
to go on, this malfeasance. Brian Brian Dabole, who's clearly
(19:26):
incompetent as a head coach. I mean, my god, that
Denver the Giants with the interception and some sloppy tackling
and some penalties whatever. The Giants gave the Broncos a
little bit of oxygen and they went through that door
like it was a Black Friday sale at Walmart. Uh.
They were just going for it. Uh. And if that
doesn't get you fired, what else? I would have had
(19:49):
him fired multiple times? What else does one have to
do to lose their job. He's a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm he's good. He's a nice guy. Congratulations, glowing stories
about oneonderful person. The writers like him. Paul again, you
give them thirty three points in the fourth quarter. Me,
I'm guaranteeing you. The tabloids in New York already had
the headline the Giants are gonna win the game. They're
ready to go, and then poop, surprise, surprise, surprise, you
(20:16):
lose a game like that, you should be sent to
the Who's Gout.

This hour is from Santa Clara, some thirty six miles
(22:37):
south of San Francisco. That is where the forty nine
ers play their games, and it was prime time. Well
primetime NFL football. You had Michael Pennix Junior and the
Atlanta Falcons looking to keep up the good vibe ridtion.
The Falcons have arrived. They beat the Buffalo Bills. They've arrived.
You all told me that they've arrived. Okay, So, taking
(22:59):
on Lovly Jones and the forty nine ers and a
bunch of backups playing for the Niners, you had Mike
Tarrico and Chris Collinsworth bloviating from the press box about
this game. So I don't know if you were watching
it or not. Perhaps not a low scoring, boring, low
scoring game. You had Christian McCaffrey rumblin and stumble one
(23:22):
hundred and twenty nine yards on the ground, two touchdowns,
and when you combine the yards he got receiving, he
went over two hundred yards, his fourth two hundred yard
plus game from scrimmage in the last six years. And
the shorthanded the left for dead forty nine Ers deliver
on the ground. Their defense made some plays and down
(23:46):
gows Atlanta, down goals Atlanta twenty to ten the final
on the Sunday night game. The Niners win for the
fourth time in five starts this season, with backup Mac Jones.
That's right, they've won four. Now Mac Jones did not
play well. We're not going to get another Mallard monologue
about how mac Jones has suddenly found himself with the Niners.
It was a stinking type performance there for Jones in
(24:10):
place of brock Purty. But it didn't matter in the
end because the Niners win the game anyway, all right,
So that is a Gould jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question the better story in the losing locker room.
So with that as the backdrop, where does this loss?
Where does this loss to the Niners leave forty nine
ers or leaves the Falcons coach? The Falcons coach for
(24:32):
him Moore? So where you lose to the Niners. You
got a bunch of backups, And the question is where
does this loss leave the Falcons with Raheem Morris as
their coach. So I've got confessional booth, elbow, and streisand
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a couple of touchdowns something
(24:52):
the Falcons did not score. They didn't score more than
one touchdown in this game. So number one. This was
billed as a stepping Stone game. The Falcons, according to
the gamble we market, were expected to win this game,
prime audience, national television, the whole thing, beaten and broken,
(25:16):
forty nine er defense who let the stars out? There's
no stars left. And so clearly without Nick Boso, who's
been out for several weeks, and now Fred Warner, oh
my ankle, Fred Warner down for the count. You got
the JV squad wearing those Red Niners uniforms, and clearly
they're not up to the challenge to stop Atlanta. Well,
(25:40):
they tripped, is what happened here. And not just a
little stumble either for the Atlanta Falcons. They face planted
in the mud, right in the mud there. And that
was a puke in your mouth bad type performance for
the once proud Atlanta Falcons. As life comes at you
fast in the big city. And so they were the
toast of the NFL last week. And this continues the
(26:00):
trend with Raheem Morris. This is vintage coaching from Raheem Morris.
We've seen this in the past, We've just seen it
again here. He is the yo yo of coaches up
and down, up, been down. That's a yo yo And
in this game, the Niners bottling up for much of
the game, but Jehan Robinson from impact game changing plays.
(26:25):
So the game was in the hands of Michael Pennex
Junior to rise on up, be the alpha, not the Omega.
I don't need know Omegan. I don't even know betas.
I need an alpha and command the moment, right, big moment.
Everyone watching, who's not watching the baseball game, this is
your opportunity right here. How did that go? Well? You
(26:48):
know the result and if you watch the game, you
know that. With the game on the line in the
fourth quarter, Michael Pennex Junior was neck deep and quicksand
he got into the cockpit of the vomit comet and
was terrible. How bad was it in the fourth quarter?
Four of eleven passing for forty nine yards, obviously no
(27:09):
touchdowns as the Atlanta Falcons failed to score in the
fourth quarter of a close game. It was a one
score game for much of the second half of the game,
but they end up losing. This four of eleven, forty
nine yards for Michael Pennex Junior. And hey, if you
want to be a big boy team, you don't need
me to tell you this. If you want to be
(27:29):
one of the top teams in the NFL. You can't
play like that. That ain't it. Okay, that ain't it?
Whatever that was, that ain't it? And Pennex looked like
yet again, he lacked a higher gear. We've seen this
a lot. He looks like a middle of the pack
NFL quarterback. Doesn't look bad. He just doesn't look that good. Pennix,
and that if you need your quarterback to step up
(27:50):
and make plays late in the game, he's not the guy.
You're not that guy, Palt, You're not that guy. And
so I have Atlanta on my big board, not a
list to Terry in England, but my big board, Atlanta
is a faux contender. They are a faux contender. I
don't think I'm seriously, I don't and until proven otherwise.
(28:11):
Raheem Morris. That's the standard for the teams that he
has coached, mentioned up and down the Yo Yo And
they had the razzle dazzle at home, and one week
they bring the razzle dazzle, and then the next week
it's a tire fire, and this week it was a
tire fire. Atlanta is not a real threat in the NFC.
(28:32):
If you played Lanta in the playoffs. You're not really
worried about it. As long as you're showing up and
you pay attention, you'll beat them. They'll blow it. They'll
blow it. They'll they'll screw it up. So you had
that now. Meanwhile, the second part of this, all the
buzz and they made this a feature on the NBC broadcast,
was about the running backs, and they were featured. They
(28:53):
were the stars, the quarterbacks. It's like a throwback game
to the old days when the quarterbacks went out the
big stars. It was more about the the running backs.
And so you had Falcons coach again, Raheem Morris, who
recently called running Backjon Robinson the best, the best player
in the NFL without a doubt. He said, without a doubt,
(29:14):
the best player. Now you and I know that the
term best, the legal definition, is as good as all
the rest. However, there's a glitch in the human condition
where people hear that and they assume, well, that means
better than everything else. But the best technically means just
as good as all the orsts. And Raheem Morris didn't
mean it to say that Bjon Robinson was as good
as every other running back. He said it in a
(29:36):
way to indicate that this guy is better than everyone else.
So the hype game is strong in Atlanta, and the
question how lopsided? Was the head to head match up
between the Falconsjon Robinson, who according to his coach, is
the best player in the NFL without a doubt, and
(29:57):
the forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey. So side by side,
this was a crime scene. Robinson was bludgeoned in the
side by side blind Soda challenge. He was and that
was a k oh A knockout, it was. And so
Atlanta hyped this guy up and all that, and then
(30:18):
reality came flying at him like a folding chair at
a professional wrestling event. McCaffrey delivered the elbow, but not
just any elbow. There was the atomic elbow from the
top rope for Christian McCaffrey. And it wasn't even close. Now,
you got Jean Robinson out there, who had twenty two
touches for ninety yards. He averaged four point six yards
per touch, which is fine, it's respectable four point six
(30:41):
yards per touch. But then you look across the field
at Christian McCaffrey. How did he do thirty one touches
two hundred and one yards, had one hundred and eleven
more yards, averaged almost six and a half yards per touch,
scored two touchdowns. That is a grown man performance by
Christian McCaffrey and really a masterclass in the side by side.
(31:05):
In the side by side there, Atlanta gave a lot
of hype, a lot of build up to Bejon Robinson,
and he played well in the game last week. But
here's another opportunity against a woe begone forty nine er defense,
a defense that is tattered, and what did you do?
And not enough? Not enough. McCaffrey gave it the land
(31:26):
of the blueprint on what a big time back looks
like in that environment. And again no Fred Warner. They
showed him on TV there he was dapping his buddies
after the game there and I think I was on
crutches here like a scooter thing. See that. Nick Bosa
also long gone. That's the stars, those are the stars.
(31:46):
That's it. There's a starless night for the forty nine
ers defense. And so a bunch of flotsam and jetsam
wearing forty nine or laundry. The backup singers if you will,
and they sung a nice melody the backup singers hid
a nice melody there and kept Pajon Robinson in check.
And so you know what, the what the best thing,
(32:10):
I mean, there's a lot, there's a lot of good
things about it, but the best thing in the NFL
of running back and do is not get bottled up
in the fourth quarter of a prime time game. But
you're trying to claim you're the top running back in
the NFL, right, I mean, come on, McCaffrey, didn't you
take over the game? You drag your team to victory.
(32:30):
Neither team had a good quarterback. Mac Jones and pan
X with the quarterbacks in this game, and you know,
don't get manageable numbers. You got to do better than that.
And against the defense that's running on fumes. And so
they held San Francisco. The Falcons defense actually wasn't terrible.
They held the forty nine ers to twenty points. And
(32:51):
you'd say, okay, you're the better team, you're expected to
win based on the gambling market and all that, and
you're Atlanta. You've got the best player in the NF
fell and yeah, so the Falcons wanted They're like the
kid that wanted Captain Crunch, like I would like captain crunch,
And the parents went to the store and said, well,
we can't afford captain crunch, so we're gonna get your
(33:11):
captain munch. It's like Captain crunch, but it's just a
little saugear. It doesn't hold its crunch, so you gotta
eat it right away. Yeah, that's it. So McCaffrey over
there playing the banjo's got the like Dick and Dayton.
He's got the banjo going there, and the house is
burning down all around the Falcons. They're toured one total
yards controlling the game. It was so bad. How bad
(33:34):
was it? The Falcons did not have the right personnel
on the field in the fourth quarter of that game.
They failed to have the right personnel on the field.
How does that happen? It's week seven, it's not week
one where you didn't have training camp. Another embarrassment for
Rahie Morris and his coaching staff. There on the biggest
(33:54):
defensive play of the game, the Atlanta Falcons were missing
the eleventh man. They decided, you know what, we're so good,
we'll play with ten. How did that work out? Don't
ask all right now? Meanwhile, final point, we pivot away
from the Sunday night game and we go to Dallas,
but it's really about Washington, and we go to Jerry's
world where the Cowboys somehow kicked the ass of the
(34:19):
command What happened to the commanders? I thought they were good?
Apparently not so. In this game, there was an injury
which led to a mama running to defend her child.
Jaden Daniel's mother, who happens to be his agent, is
upset if you're questioning her son and his injury pattern
(34:42):
developing hot dot dot dot. Jayden Daniel's mom went on
social media very upset that people are comparing her son
Jaden Daniels to RG three. All right, So, after Daniels
suffered a hamstring injury came out of the game against
the Cowboys on Sunday again that was lopsided, She asked
(35:03):
the fans on social media. She said, stop manifesting RG three.
She said, I wish you would stop it. Words are powerful.
RG three's mom said, or RG three. Jade Daniel's mom said,
words are powerful and that's all that's talked about. So
she was upset that her kids being compared again, Jade
(35:26):
and Daniels being compared to RG three so the question
how do you digest Jadeen Daniel's mom lecturing the Commander
fan base about manifesting r G three on her son,
And so it's a little bit of like Ricky Bobby
type stuff in this, right, I got. I got the
(35:47):
Ricky Bobby vibe I did. I was like that famous
scene from the movie back in the day and you're like,
all right, so don't put that voodoo on me. It
was that kind of thing, and so like what are
we doing here? Though? Seriously, I mean I digested, it
(36:07):
does not digest very well, and it's an unforced are
you you can write that? And as the tar shows,
I'm I'm very happy that she wrote what she wrote,
But if I was advising her like this, you write
that out. There's a famous story about Abraham Lincoln back
in the day and he'd have the the the unsent letters. Well,
he'd write these really nasty lever letters like you know
(36:28):
MF and the people that were his enemies and politically,
and he just he would never send them, and he'd
write on them unsent, do not send. Whatever He'd write
on the letter, and he'd put it in a drawer
in his desk and like that's the thing. You can
write it, but you cannot send it, Like, what do
you do? It's an unforced ara, as we said, bad
job by her. No one made her do it. No
(36:49):
one said you gotta do this, you go, no, no
one begged hers. I gotta get Jadeen Daniel's mom's take
on what social media is saying about her kid. Did
anyone say No one said that. No one said that.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
And I get Oh, she's a protective mama bear. I
understand that. But she saw people comparing her kid to
Robert Griffin, iid, and she got emotional and she clicks send.
You cannot do that. And now now it's headlines. I'm
talking about it. Everyone's yapping about it. Who cares about
this kind of crap? And it's like, oh, it's the
Streisan effect, is what it is. It's a total strize
(37:24):
and effect. She just poured unleaded gasoline on what was
a small, contained wildfire and nobody was manifesting anything that
can't happen on social media. It's all fake. Uh. And
if the fans and media are pointing out the obvious,
the obvious Heela monster in the room, the parallels between
(37:48):
the Heisman winner, second overall pick, goes to Washington, has
a good start to their career, and then has a
nice big bowl of snap crackle pop. Okay, that's not
again manifesting. That's football talk. That's what it is. You
put a quarterback in the DC area and they have
(38:12):
an injury after year one and say, well, here we go, yeah,
RG three. That is a natural comp That is a
natural comparison, and every man, woman and child knows it.
That's just what it And she made it worse like
she's somehow. Now the story isn't hey Jade and Daniels
tweaked his hammy, hope he's okay, injured against the Cowboys. No, no, no, no.
(38:33):
The story now is Jaden Daniel's mom snaps it fans online.
Angry lady, that's the headline. Boom done, that's your headline.
Couldn't have been the headline if she didn't click send.
It's unnecessary noise. The Commanders are a losing football team.
You are what your record says you are. Sorry, Rick
(38:54):
and Maryland. More than time when you wake up in
the morning, they have a losing record and their quarterback.
Let's be honest, not the firecracker. He was last year
just kind of there, fifteenth in QBR in the NFL,
middle of the pack. He is a jag, not a
Jacksonville jack. Just a guy. He's just a guy and
(39:17):
not a human highlight film like he had been. And
he gave the game away against the Chicago Bears with
that mistake on a rainy night. And here against the Cowboys,
who were the worst defense in the NFL, it wasn't
even close. And the Commanders and he said, well, he
got hurt. Yes, Jade Daniels got hurt. They were losing
(39:37):
before he got hurt. He wasn't playing well before he
left the game. It's not like all of a sudden
once he got hurt, the Commanders blew the lead. So
he's not the human highlight reel Jaden Daniels that he
had been. And the Mallard PSA again, this is a
Mallard PSA, very simple. You can't win the fight with
social media. Cannot do it, cannot do it. The mob
(39:58):
loves the story like this eating Frenzy. It's like Piranha
with blood in the water. You tell social media, which
is mostly fake anyway, you say listen, don't say what
you're saying it's a bad take by you bad take by.
You're gonna you're gonna get it louder. You're gonna get
memes is what you're gonna get the whole thing. And
(40:21):
you just created that. That's your creation, not my creation.
That's your creation. Every hamstring tweak from now on, anytime
Jade Daniels has a poor performance, this will again be
brought up. And it's like yelling at the going to
the ocean and yelling at a wave to not crash,
do not crash wave. Okay, well, good luck, good luck
(40:44):
on that. So not everything in I know, it's shocking.
Not everything needs to be on social media. I'm on
there during the show for real time feedback. I'm very
rarely on there during the day. I popped out a
couple times this weekend for listener engagement, but other than that,
not very much. So sometimes the best thing you can
do is appsolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Smaller, how about that? To the third degree?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
This is one big gets quailed all right?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Cool?
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Ben lsu fans are losing patients with head coach Brian
Kelly following Saturday's lost to Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
A lot of them want him to go the way
of James Franklin. Do you think that's gonna happen? Well,
if you can come with the money. It's always about
the money, right, It's about the buy out. And Brian Kelly,
you knew right away that was not going to work
when he was doing the fake voice when he showed
up there. And I get this, since they're not going
to come up with the money, Otherwise they would have
(41:42):
already fired Brian Kelly. So the fact that he hasn't
been fired and we've seen that, Listen, Penn State got
rid of their coach, Florida's got rid of their coach.
The fact that they have not gotten rid of him yet.
I think the buyout. What did I read the buyout was?
It was like, guy, it was like fifty million dollars
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (41:59):
So yeah, on that next, all right, So the San
Francisco Giants are about to do something that nobody's ever
done before. They're going to hire a new manager, Tony Vittello,
who is the manager of the Tennessee Balls college baseball team. Yeah,
never been a path like this to uh, you know,
major league manager managing Ben. Do you think it's a
good idea?
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Well, he hasn't been hired yet, right like the report
was he was going to get the job, and then
there was a story last night that said he's torn
about the job. I don't think it matters because these,
you know, my theory coopers, the front office dictates everything.
Maybe the gatz will be different, and Buster Posey's an
old school guy, so maybe it'd be different. But otherwise
he's just a puppet. You can hire me next.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Ben Carmelo Anthony said that the Cleveland Cavaliers they just
need to change their mentality because they've won a bunch
of games, but they keep getting knocked out the same stage.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Do you think that's the problem, a mental problem? No, Spider,
Mitchell's got to be better. You listen to guy. They've
fallen apart in big games. He's the star. It happened
in Utah too. How do we do you passed? That's
what I want the guys hollering James I won.
