Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number four. Our number four is ready to go.
We go to the confluence where the Monongahila and the
Alleghany form the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, PA, and coach
Mike Tomlin said he doesn't have any long term reservations
about Aaron Rogers' ability to play the position at a

(00:23):
high level after that horrific performance in the primetime game.
What does that signify to you? Also, what would it
take for Bill Belichick to get an interview and then
get the New York Giants head coaching job. We'll discuss that.
And the tabloid photos of former Giants coach Brian Dayball.

(00:44):
Is that inbounds or out of bounds as he was
out talking and walking and surrounded by trash. We'll get
to all that and more right now. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (00:55):

(03:22):
Go to the Buckos Land. But this is not about
the Buckos No, no, no, this is about the team
that's actually popular in Pittsburgh. After Aaron Rodgers went out
there and rode the vomit comment and I witnessed it
with my own eyes. I was able to attend that
Sunday Night Island game as Rogers puked to the right
and puked to the left and dropped the deuce right
up the middle. So he sucked at a time you

(03:43):
cannot suck. We all know that there's been a lot
of chatter people love talking about Aaron Rodgers, very polarizing.
Good talk radio people always have an opinion on Aaron Rodgers.
So Aaron Rodgers was bad, sucked at a time. He
can't suck all that stuff. So anyone's got hot takes
on this. What's going on as he washed off? Is
this the end of Aaron Rodgers? Is this the final game?
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. So now the

(04:05):
head coach has chimed in, so I know if he
saw this or not or heard about it. Possibly not
despite a biblically bad performance. Do you think that, Mike
tom You think Mike Tomlin a said Aaron Rodgers needs
a flea bath because he's covered in fleas. B Aaron

(04:28):
Rodgers is the greatest thing.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
In the world.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
We love him. We stand by Aaron Rodgers. Or see
no comment. Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I'm not gonna, you know, chalk it up to an
off night, But there are no long term concerns. I'm
just not going to allow your words to be my words.
That's all. Sunday night was what it was. But I
have no long term reservations about his ability to play
the position and play the position at a high level
for us.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
All right, So that last part is what we call
the money quote. Tomlin says he does doesn't have any
long term reservations, as you heard him say about Rogers'
ability to play and play the position at a high level.
Close quote. So that is a good jumping off point.
Let's dive into this and discuss the question Pittsburgh coach

(05:17):
Mike Tomlin saying that he doesn't have any long term
reservations as you heard in the audio clip that we
played about Rogers and his ability to play at a
high level. Blah blah blah blah blah. What does this
signify to you? So I've got cigar, smoke, snake, charmer,
and tax man, and we will combine all of these

(05:39):
things together and we're going to make the Baba Ganooche.
We're going to make the Baba Ganoosh is what we're
going to make. So to kick off here now using
my Mallar Rosetta stone, that's right, Mallard branded Rosetta stone.
The Tomlin translation. What Tomlin said is we have no

(06:01):
long term reservations and play at a high level. Rogers
can play at high level. What he meant is, please,
for the love of God, stop asking me about the
old guy. I'm stuck with him. The trade deadlines already passed.
What do you want me to do? Coach speak one

(06:21):
to oh one. You can almost hear the squirm like
a worm, right, and no long term reservations? Now, what
does that mean? Let's break this down all right, we
use Mallard logic on this. So when you say no
long term reservations, what does that line mean? That means that, yes,
we all know Rogers was like flatulence. It's like he

(06:46):
ate a bowl of chili before he played the game
and went out there and was running around Tomlins being
economical with the truth. Of course, there's no long term
ramifications because Rogers is not going to be there long term,
and so we all know it. When you're a head coach,

(07:06):
part of the job description is you can lie right
to people's face. Now, tomin at least when he lies,
like all these other coaches, at least he's entertaining when
he's doing it. Here, it's a world of paranoia, it's
a world of secrecy. It's a world where all that
stuff is baked in when you're a coach. So when
Tomlin says he's not worried about long term, that is

(07:28):
because it's like if you visit New York and you
fly into JFK and you take the shuttle and you
get a rental car. Right, No one's checking the one
hundred thousand mile warranty on the rental car. You're not right.
You return it reeking of cigar smoke, and you don't

(07:48):
care because you just are renting it, and you're just
renting Aaron Rodgers and that's it. You don't care whether
the braakes work or not. Once you return it, that's
all you care about. You think Tomlin's worried about six
with Aaron rodd No, No, he's thinking, how can I
possibly get this Jalopi across the finish line this year?

(08:10):
Is there any more juice? Can I get a juicer?
I gotta get something? And when Tomlin says Rogers can
still play the position at a high level, well we
all know what that means. That means, well, maybe I'll
lean into the ayahuasca. It'll be high on ayahuasca when
he's out there run around. Now, Rogers' best completion percentage lately,

(08:31):
I believe, is measured in the milligrams that it takes
to get the greatest hallucination is measured like that, And
so every single year. When you look at the Steelers
from Afar, thirty thousand feet up in the sky, we're
flying the Red Eye flight. When you look at the Steelers,
Am I wrong on this? I don't think I'm wrong
what I'm about to say, so Obs, I don't think

(08:51):
I'm wrong about to say I haven't said it yet.
I look at the Steelers as like a Marvel movie.
You know, every Marvel movie is kind of the same, right,
and it doesn't really change that much. It's just a remake.
I look at the Steelers, and they're not bad, they're
not really good. Somewhere in the middle of them, it's

(09:15):
the same movie. By the time we get to the
final week of the regular season, the Steelers will have
a chance to either go to nine and eight or
eight to nine, or ten and seven or nine and eight,
you know, something along those lines, and that that's the standard.
The standard is the standard, as Tom likes to say.
And then they'll go out and get absolutely whacked when
they perform in the in the playoffs on wild card week,

(09:37):
it's kind of how that's gonna gonna go, you know.
And so Pittsburgh's trying to win, they're trying to win
the Daytona five hundred with a nineteen eighty three Pontiac
Bonneville that they think they've got a shot if they
can change out some of the spark plugs, they think
they've got a shot. You know, ball tires that's not great,

(09:58):
and bad shot absorbers. That's that's a problem. But Rogers
is behind the wheels. He mumbling a little bit about it.
I need to go talk to Joe Rogan. Probably so,
probably so. But that's all right, that's fine. You still win.
So the Steelers are faux contenders, as they have been
for a number of years. They are stuck in the middle.

(10:21):
Stuck in the middle is where they're at.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
Now.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Furthermore, we pivot to a former NFL head coach. We
go now to the tar heel state, North Carolina Tobacco
Road where well, of course there was a guy that
used to call up from North Carolina. Well you always
see tobacco Road. I don't anyway. So North Carolina coach
Bill Belichick was asked this week about the Giants coaching

(10:44):
vacancy during his weekly chit chat with the media, which
is just rivening. So what did Belichick said? You see this? No,
all right, now Belichick using his standard deadpan delivery, Bill Belichick,
did he say we're on to Cincinnati. No, we're not.
He didn't say that. He can't say we're on the
Cincinnati because they're not on the Cincinnati. You see, they

(11:07):
don't play Cincinnati, so you can say so. Instead, Belichick said,
what we have somebody, let's go to the audience. Ap
here's Bill Belichick.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
And then when you got here, you said you're not.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
But as soon as he's in the bathroom back, why
would they the cut?

Speaker 6 (11:25):
What is your message to players?

Speaker 7 (11:27):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
People who want unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (11:31):
Get rightful cost. That's all I got this week.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well that was unnecessary to leave a question nobody could understand.
And I don't know who edited that, but well you
want to. I'm gonna hold the class on how to
edit audio tape, and I'm going to teach people that
most people that listen to radio do not. They're doing
other things right. People are driving, maybe they're taking a shower.
I don't know what they're doing, but I'm wearing headphones turned.

(11:56):
I got them turned all the way up to like
they go to they go to, I've got mine at
eleven and then wow, So That SoundBite was twenty five
seconds of gibberish and three seconds of on the Wake Forest.
I believe getting ready for Wake Forest. That's all I
got this week? All right now? That is a shaker,

(12:17):
obviously is classic Belichick. Pretend that you're too busy game
planning for the Demon Deacons. That's where Bill Belichick is
worried about the Demon Deacons to talk about the NFL
job opening, even though you know, and I know, and
every man, woman and child knows that he is plotting

(12:40):
behind the scenes. How can I get back to the NFL?
Do I want the Titan job? I was born in Nashville,
I could sell that. No, I don't really want the
Titan job. Okay, what about the Giant job?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I love the Giants. I have a shrine to Lawrence Taylor.
I want that job. Okay. Question, I know we examined
this in a previous episode, but I want to go
down this road. So with the information and there are
some Belichick toadies that are floating Belichick as a candidate
for the Giants job. So the question is what would
it take? What would it take for Bill Belichick to

(13:13):
a get an interview with the Giants and b actually
get the job. So there's a lot of parts to this.
There's a lot of moving parts of this. Now, the
only way Belichick actually lands the Giants head coaching job
would be and he'd have to completely usurp Joe Shane,
the GM and the people that are still in the

(13:34):
front of it. So he's not going to be taking
orders from Joe Shane or some other nerd in the
analytics department there. That's not happening. So Belichick, he obviously
wants the keys to an NFL building again, we all
know that. And he wants the code vault. He wants
to go back to the back with the vaults and
all this stuff. He wants the parking spot. He wants

(13:55):
the one right next to John Mara. He'd like that
parking spot. Why not? And at three, now, good old
Bill Belichick has gotten i believe, one interview with the
Atlanta Falcons, right that was the only team that he
interviewed with for the head coaching job after Robert Kraft
excommunicated Belichick from the Patriots and it seemed like it

(14:18):
was going to get the job with the Falcons. And
because Arthur Blank doesn't know what he's doing, he hired
Raheem Morris. How's that working out? The Falcons suck. I'm
not gonna sit here and say they would have been
good with Belichick. They would have been more interesting. You
imagine Belichick's floozy girlfriend walking around the field in Atlanta
before again out of good. Instead we get Raheem Morris.

(14:40):
What a wonderful job he's doing where with the Atlanta Falcons? Anyway,
so you throw in little side circus that Belichick would
bring with Jordaan Hudson, and it isn't exactly a turnkey
higher when you bring in Belichick. Now, the first part
we asked was a can he get an interview? I
believe Bill Belichick will get an interview with the New

(15:03):
York Giants. If you gave me one thousand dollars of
funny money and you said, okay, go bet go bet
your money. I bet on Belichick getting an interview. Now,
the optics are rough. As we said, the optics are rough.
The Giants are already a punchline right there, already a
punch line. And so now you go out your hand

(15:24):
Grandpa Hoodie and his Instagram influencer girl, the keys. Okay,
what do you do So if he wants the job,
he's going to have to play leapfrog, Belichick. He's gonna
have to leap over the front office and go directly
to the ownership the Mayra family, which he knows, and

(15:46):
tug at the heartstrings. Right, you gotta go straight to ownership.
The move here, we all know it. You gotta tug
at the heartstrings. You gotta wax poetic about how the
old man. You remember the old man and the days
with parcels and lt and Phil's sims and all these
old time legends there. So Belichick's some say he's a snake.
He's gonna have to be a snake charmer. He You know,

(16:09):
snakes can't hear by the way, you know, yeah, I learned.
Am I supposed to give this? I don't know if
I should give this. I just popped into my head
the snake charming thing. The snakes react to the movement
of the person, you know how they like they play
the musical and they're moving side by siding. That's what
the snakes reacted. They don't they can't hear the music.
So I thought that was interesting. That's a fun facts.

(16:29):
I just gave you a fun fact. Anyway back to
the way. So Belichick's going to have to be that's
what we call a non sequitur. Belichick is going to
have to be a snake charmer. He's going to have
to hypnotize John Mara and the other people in the
family there until he's slack jawed the Giants owner and
he's in a trance like state muttering BELICHICKI in type phrases,

(16:54):
next man up, do your job, all that stuff. Maybe
we should do one more run bill nostalgia. Now Belichick
has to sweet talk not only the Marra family, but
he's gonna have to go there's other owners, like bit
owners that have somewhat of a say, like the minority owners.
You don't have to go to them as well. Otherwise

(17:16):
he will continue to eat the early Bird special at
Spaccoli's Diner in Chapel Hill. All right, last thing, we
go back to Jersey, Baby, We go back to New
Jersey where Brian Dayball, the rotund coach decommissioned by the
New York Giants as head coach this week after a

(17:36):
disastrous reign of terror for the g Men, and he
has become tabloid fodder. How about that? Yes, now you're
in the paparazzi, you're in New York, and you say, Okay,
what's your assignment today? Am I trying to find Taylor Swift? No,
you're not trying to find Taylor Swift?

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Is there some kind of like OnlyFans model? Do I
need to track her? No, you don't need to track her.
You're going to try to find Brian Dayball. I need
I need some paparazzi photos of Brian day Ball. But
there was the paparazzo photographing the former Giants coach at
his home post firing, and this led to a firestorm

(18:15):
of criticism. Intrusive media. We hate the media, you evil
reporters show. So the New York Post, a fine tabloid,
shared a few images they received. They claimed that they
are not the ones that took them. Some outside paparazzo
took them, but they shared them and they received the photos.

(18:36):
And there's Brian Daball for those of you that are
blind like inca Terror and Stevie Meatballs and blind em
Although he didn't call the show much anymore, he's semi
retired now at a young age. So there were photos there.
Brian day Ball outside of his house in Jersey. He
wore gray pants, like sweatpants kind of thing, and he
had a Penn State hoodie and a little bit of

(18:58):
snow light like a light snow flurry in the photo. Now,
I don't know if that was a LeVar Arrington hoodie.
It just said Penn stayed on the front. Now, the
complaints started raining down from the heavens right complaining that, oh,
this is not right. How would you how could you
possibly photograph Brian Daboll at his home right after the firing?

(19:20):
This is not right behavior question. So these tabloid photos
are out there of Brian dave Ball, former Giants coach.
Is this inbounds or out of bounds? That's the question?
So I have this. I went to a booth review

(19:41):
and did the old toe tap both feet inbounds? Fairball?
Fairball combining football and baseball fairball. Welcome to New York,
New York, the Big Apple. And the same cameras there,
the same cameras that fond over Brian day Ball when

(20:02):
he was the Coach of the Year and one of
the playoff game and all that are now the same
cameras that are following him as he goes outside in
some snow and he's bagging the trash, which is what
he was. It's the price of the ticket. If you
want the ticket, you've got to take the price of
the ticket. Brian Daboll's not some baristaid Starbucks. He's not

(20:26):
bart the baristaid Starbucks here. He's a multi million dollar
football coach who just had one of the worst runs
in the history of that business. He's in the ninety
third percentile for suck as a head coach twenty forty
and one. He ends up getting decommissioned. As we've said,
and you don't want to hear about privacy. Privacy. You're

(20:50):
a public figure. You chose the fish bowl, and it
pays pretty well. The trade off because there's no such
thing as a free lunch. There's no such thing as
a massive payout without some kind of headache. So the
payout is there's some public scrutiny. And for all of
those people saying, oh, I can't believe you took these photos,

(21:10):
every one of you clicked on the photos and looked
at them. So that's the whole point. You're part of
the problem. I promise you. I have friends that work
in the tabloid where I used to know a bunch
of people. I know a few people at TMZ, and
they don't really care about the stuff they're putting out there.
They're just trying to get stuff that you click on.
And they know the weak spots of human beings and

(21:33):
what people will click on. And that's one of them.
And so and by the way, it's happened. I've been
here a long time. I remember when the now forty
nine Ers defensive coordinator Robert Salah was let go. There
were photos of him. There were was it Ben Macado?
Do remember that guy? They got rid of him? The Giants?

(21:54):
I remember that Joe Judge when he got whacked. There
were some photos of him. So this always happens. It's
not new, it's not cruel. It's pretty much standard operating procedure.
At this particular point. You get whacked and they have
to get that paparazzo photo of you looking shell shocked, disheveled, bedraggled,

(22:16):
and you're wearing your sweat pants and you're doing a
mundane thing. It's not a SOB story. This is no
SOB store. It's not. And so, if you want to
blame someone blame the tax man, Blame the tax It's
the tax of fame. It's the tax of fame in
that market. I'm pretty sure when Jacksonville fires their coach,

(22:37):
there's no paparazzo outside when he's when he's doing his gardening.
You know, they don't really care about that. But in
New York they care. And using Malormath, Brian dave Ball
is going to get a severance package of twelve million dollars.
That's roughly one point five million dollars the amount of
money he made or will make by the time his
deal is done, one point five million dollars per win

(22:58):
per win. Deeper question, we don't have an answer for this.
The deeper question is what about the Penn State hoodie?
What about the Penn State hoodie? Is that a subtle Hey,
I know you guys got rid of James Franklin. Would
you like to hire a former NFL head coach part
of the Belichick tree who's besties with Josh Allen. Would

(23:21):
you like to hire me? I'm available? Or the other
option is he forgot to do his laundry and that
was the only clean thing he had and it looks
like a free shirt All's coaches, and we used to
get this in radio, a bunch of free stuff, free swag.
I don't only do that much anymore, not here anyway.
But you could get like you get like free stuff,

(23:42):
and it looked like a free Penn State thing. Maybe
he went to Penn State to help out somebody and
they give him a free sweater and that's it, And
so there you go. It's probably both. It's probably I'm
gonna send a message to James Franklin and I haven't
done my laundry because I need to go get some
laundry pods. I haven't gotten those in a while. And
so there you go. It is the Ben Maler Show.
