This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Radio from Philadelphia. And right there there it was big Game,
Big Game AFS and not AFC, NFC, NFC Sloberknocker. On
a cool night in the Delaware Valley. You had Jared
(00:47):
Goff leading the motorcade from Motown, the Detroit Lions taking
on the phili eddelphiing is with Jalen Hurts and the
Birds the birds oll thumb wrestling action and out of
that cause we had Mike Tarrico, you had Collinsworth. They
were calling the game for Peacock NBC doing their thing.
They're an island game, living the island life. And if
(01:10):
you didn't see the game ibe you missed it, well,
don't worry. We watched so you would not have to it.
As our act of kindness, our public service, if you will, so.
Jalen Hurts did score a touchdown, he didn't throw a touchdown,
he scored a touchdown, and otherwise mostly bupkus for the
team representing the state of Pennsylvania. They're a feeble offensive effort, anemic.
(01:36):
But yet the Eagles offense despite not doing their job.
He's supposed to do your job. They didn't do their job. However,
it was enough for a sixteen to nine win over
the Lions, who failed on every fourth down attempt, and
they kept going and going and going and going and
going and going. But we're going to begin with the losing.
(02:00):
Jaalen Hurt's not good, right, we know that. But the
better story is in the losing locker room, as the
team from Michigan an absolute stinker. The Eagles offense was
bad that the Lions offense somehow was worse, led by
the quarterback Jared Goff and trickling down. The suck, the
(02:22):
gooey ooey suck was going everywhere in that Detroit Lions
locker room. The offensive side, defensively, they were not even
how good they were. The Eagles were so bad on
offense it's hard hard to tell bad all the way around.
But let us discuss good jumping off point on that.
So we start with the quarterback Jared Goff. How do
(02:44):
you measure Jared Goff's performance for the Lions in this game?
So on this one, I've got software, Punk Rock and
Tom Hanks and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna put them into a food processor
and just see what we get. We'll just chop everything up,
(03:04):
make a puree, is what we're going to do. So
a listen, we measure it like the famous review years
ago on the Internet of the Popeyes cheddar Baby butterfly
shrimp thing. Remember that video. It's gone, it's a few
years old, but still funny. Your disappointment when you watch
Jared Goff play, Your disappointment is immeasurable watching him try
(03:27):
to play quarterback for the Lions, and your day is ruined.
Your day is absolutely ruined watching Jared Goff attempt to
play football. This was a v g situation, vintage golf,
watching Jared golf on Sunday night, straight out of the
vault from his era with the Rams back in the day.
And you could ram it all day. You could ram
(03:49):
it all night. But when Jared Golf was there, you
could not ram it in cold weather. Couldn't do it,
could not do it, couldn't happen. It's so important for
the Lions. They played a dome. You mentioned if they
played outdoors, Jared Goff would be out of the NFL.
Now they had to play outdoors in Detroit. Holy crap,
in the dome. He's fine, but there there it was
the sequel that nobody asked for. Watching Jared Goff futs
(04:10):
around out in the field. Now, Sean McVay top coach
in the NFL, Sean mcvavry. Sean McVay was so fed
up with Jared Goff. How fed up was he he
actually put together a basket of first round draft picks
and said, listen, this guy blows so much, we're gonna
give you multiple first round picks to get take Jared
(04:30):
Goff plays. We don't want to be haunted by the
demons of Jared Goff. And the Lions took him. Suckers, suckers,
you took Jared Goff. Haaa, he stinks. I'm not. This
is a guy. He's a little bit better than Sam Donald,
who also blows. Where are those Seahawks fans by the way,
where you're at Haha, he sucks anyway. Listen, Jared Goff
(04:53):
completed less than forty percent of his passes in this game.
He had one touchdown and one interception and twenty six.
I went back in, I count twenty six negative plays
for Jared Goff. Twenty six. That's not a quarterback, Okay,
that is a weather report gone wrong, which is often
(05:16):
the case when you watch Jared Golf play. It's not
one bit surprising if you happen to watch Benny versus
the Penny on the YouTube. This last episode, we broke
down the Lions game and on that TV Slash YouTube
show we talked about we talked about this and the
issues that Jared Golf has. When it's not some kind
of secret. I'm not giving inside information here. Anyone working
(05:39):
brain knows this. When the thermist that I mean, tad works,
when the thermist that drops before what's called California comfortable
anything below sixty degrees California comfortable anying below that, you
give this guy forty degree weather and win like they
had in Philadelphia at the start of the game, got
(06:00):
colders the night when I was like forty five degrees.
Suddenly the software crashes. It just crashes. He starts buffering.
He needs an update. There's a glitch, the thing of
a jig's not working. The watching MC call, you can't
fix it. Watching Jared Golf play in cold weather is
like watching a preview of a horror movie. You know
(06:21):
there's gonna be some kind of jump scare somewhere in there.
You're not sure exactly where it's going to be, but
it's gonna be in there. It's coming. And with Jared Goff,
is it going to be I don't know. Is it
gonna be a fumble? Is it gonna be the horrific interception?
What is it going to be?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The sack, the ill time sack? Which one is gonna be?
You know it's coming, It's coming. Attractions with Jared Golf
outdoors cold weather, I'm wasn't even that cold. It's gonna
get a lot worse, right, And here's the Lions' only hope.
And they actually had this last year and he still
left it up. But the Lion's only hope is home
(06:56):
field advantage and stay relatively healthy and then do some
kind of deep meditation something along those lines. And if
you do all that, you'll still probably end up screwing
this thing up. But if you go on the road,
forget about it. You know, imagine if the Lions have
to play on the road in the playoffs in Philly
or Detroit or Green Bay or somewhere like that. Oh man,
(07:19):
that's not gonna end. Well, it's not anywhere outside where
the breeze goes above eight miles an hour. It's not
going to be a pleasant situation for the team that
wears the Honolulu Blue. There you can say it would
be OvR over. He just fizzles and shrivels, Jared Goff,
(07:40):
and it just you know it's gonna happen. Well, here's
Jared Goff, in his own words, the man that's stunk
it up for the Detroit Lions in golf. Here, let's
jump the cut two here pointing out that he did
not get the job done.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Take a list six and four right in the middle
of the season, got three home games coming up, got
a lot to look forward to, a lot of a
lot of us things in front of us. We got
a good veteran unit. We respond the right way, We
will respond the right way. And yeah, it sucks as stings.
You want to come out here and play well and
beat a really good team and be able to have
you know, a kind of hallmark win of the middle
of the season, but didn't get a ton and got
to move on final way to win next week. We
(08:16):
had to do our job and try to score. Wow,
we didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
He still goes horrible.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
It's worse. You know, our defense plays well and I
feel like you let them down, and you know, I know,
I certainly do, and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I think that might take the right I don't know.
That seemed like the record setter for most cliche. That
was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's how long was that sound?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
By?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
What are we looking at here? Thirty seconds? Thirty seconds?
I wasn't counting at the beginning. I want to play
the cliche game. Do we have? Do we have the standard?
Do we have? You give me some Scott pod Sednik
to get me in the mood here. This is the
all time king of the cliches. Here. This is a
guy used to be a baseball player. Well he still
guess a former baseball player played for the Dodgers at
(08:53):
the end of his careers, know as a White Sox.
He was on the White Sox team that won the
World Series twenty years ago, and he played for the
He bounced around, play with the Mariners, play with the Dodgers. Anyway,
he was doing the Dodger post game thing, and he
gave us the gold standard for most cliches. Take a list.
It's Zidy right here.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Well, they're all important. We got to win as many
as we can. A lot of baseball we played. Anything
can happen. Yeah, We're gonna come the yard each and
every day, bottle each night and look up at the
end of see what we say, and we know our
work is cut out for us.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
We got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Hopefully we can all come together, realize what we have
here and try to get something done.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's the gold standard. Let's hear now, we will juxtapose
what you just heard, and now we will do the count.
Before we count though, Let's play a little game. You
can play along as well as you listen here and
try to stay focused on what you're doing. Let's try
thirty second sound bite. Let's try to guess how many
cliches Jared Goff worked into a thirty second sound bite.
I'm gonna say I'm gonna go fourteen. I'm gonna go fourteen.
(09:50):
Anyone else went in on this a lot? That is
a lot.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I'll go half of you half.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's seven. Oh, it's more than seven. It's got to
be more than seven. All right, coop for a thirty
second sound and he doubled up on some. But we're
gonna count those.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
So I think he's closer to Loraina. I think there
was a lot of talking with them without saying much.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So okay, all right, I don't know. All right, here
we go. We're playing the Jared golf cliche game. This
is the suck bag quarterback of you Detroit Lions. Let's
go to the audio tape. Here we go, play again,
six and four.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right in the middle of the season, got three home
games coming up, got a lot to look forward to,
got a lot of football ahead of us. Everything's in
front of us. We got a good veteran unit. We
responded the right way.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We Sava spawned the right way.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And yeah it sucks his stings. You come out here
and play well and bed a really good team and
be able to have you know, kind of hallmark win
of the middle of the season. But didn't get a
ton got to move on final way to win next week.
We had to do our job and try four points
and we didn't. It feels horrible.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's there's worse.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You know, our defense plays well and feel like you
let them down, and you know, I know I certainly
do and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I think that's I think I had thirteen. I counted thirteen.
He was like he was at seven. I feel like
he was at seven in like twelve seconds. Yes, it was,
it was. It was a rapid fire playing a guy.
Guys playing the guy.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You can't six and four. Right in the middle of
the season. One got three home games coming up.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
We're right, we got home games.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
We got home games coming up.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
All we got home games.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Middle. That's not a cliche. You don't win all your
home games. It's a cliche. It's laziness, is what it is.
Plany guy, blady guy right.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
In the middle of the season, got three home games
coming up to look.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Forward to, not to look forward by fat ass.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Out of us. Everything's in front of us. We got
a good veteran unit. We responded, call meself out here
and play well. And he had a really good team.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Okay, he's empty the man's got no soul. There's Jared Goff.
I can't wait till his cheesy radio show in Detroit.
I'm sure that'll be amazing anyway, all right now, move
turn the page. The other issue, the will the beast
in the room, if you will, for the Detroit Lions.
Here the Lions who entered the game averaging thirty one
point four points per game. Of course, that was mostly
(12:01):
in domes and against bad opponents. They turned the ball
over five times on downs. They didn't punk the ball away,
they didn't they didn't throw interceptions and fumbled. They turned
it over on downs, Okay, which is not ideal. Was
not the record, but it was close to the record.
(12:22):
And so that's where we are here is let's hear
from Jared Gough. This is a cut one on Jared Goff.
Here's Jared Goff on the fourth quarter or the fourth
down players. What do you ha to say?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I don't think there's anything to do with him and
I I think there was just tight coverage and yeah,
we just didn't connect. There's a few I'd like to
have back that I that I just missed on. Slight
miscommunication on our end on one or two of them maybe,
but it should never be that bad. It really shouldn't.
It wasn't good enough.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Okay, And now here's Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell just in general,
forget just the fourth downs, but here's Dan Campbell pointing
out that, well, this did not go as planned.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
We were just a little off. I mean, it really
was kind of one of those days. I hate saying that,
but it was just a little bit of one of
those days. And Golf and Saint Brown don't connect more
than that. You know, that's just a rare thing because
those guys, those guys have such a good connection. But
you know, there again, man, we're all involved in this.
We all got a hand in it for me, the coaches,
(13:22):
all of us. Man, everybody that's part of this offense.
You know, we got to be better, especially in a
day like today when you're playing that kind of defense,
that kind of team.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Right, So that Dan Campbell took over as the play caller.
Continue that. So the question, let's just focus in on
the fourth then we'll focus in on the on the
fourth down. So why does Dan Campbell continue to be
a unhinged daredevil on fourth then? So the obvious answer
is because this is who he is, this is who
he has become. He loves punk rock. He's a big
(13:52):
fan of punk rock. Dan Campbell his favorite band all
time is Bad Religion. Big fan of Bad Religion, and
this is nerd approved. I can't think of a more
meat head coach than Dan Campbell, and I like the guy.
I don't hate Dan Campbell. He the guy's a meathead.
The guy's an absolute meathead. I don't have a problem
with it. But some nerds said, okay, go for it
on fourth then, and Dan Campbell's like okay. So he
(14:14):
grunted like the caveman and said, Okay, I'll just go
for it on fourth out every single time. No logic,
no rhyme, no reason. I'll just keep going for it
on fourth out over and over and over and over,
and it gets approved and the geeks like it and
the smart people like it. I'm gonna keep doing it.
I can't stop. Dan Campbell wakes up every morning every
(14:34):
morning and he pounds a coffee the size of a
fire extinguisher and then whispers to himself, Live by the Sword,
Die by the Sword, and Sunday night. If you watch
the game, that was a bloody crime scene, very violent
death for the Detroit Lions, zero for five on fourth down.
A lot of stuff spilled everywhere, and as a result,
(14:55):
because of this, the Detroit Lions find themselves in the
eighth sp in the NFC. You want to take a
guess how many teams make the playoffs in the NFC.
In ain't eight. Right now, the Detroit Lions are a
non playoff team. Let me repeat that for those of you
in the back round. The Lions are not a playoff
team at this point. They're out. They're out of the playoffs.
(15:18):
Seven in their number eight. That's your twenty twenty five
Detroit Lions six and four and watching from the kids
table when the playoffs start if the Lions do not
pick things up here. Dan Campbell, he coaches like every
game is a bar fight at a waffle house at
two thirty in the morning, and look when it works,
(15:39):
and it has worked a lot the last couple years
of the Lions. He's the folk hero. He's the macho man,
Dan Hambell, biting kneecaps and all that stuff and lifting
weight weight up, and like he's like a superhero picking
a school bus up off somebody fell on top of.
He's just that's who he is. But when it doesn't,
it becomes biblical and not in a good one. All right,
(16:00):
the Lord give it, the Lord take it away for
the Detroit Lions here and on Sunday night he took
it away hard, hard, hard heart. And the best part
I love the shots of Dan Campbell when he seems
genuinely shocked that that fourth down play didn't happen, like
it didn't work. Oh my god, I can't believe it
didn't happen. It's amazing. What is up with that? All right?
Last word? We go now to the Philadelphia side of things,
(16:23):
where the Eagles win without any style points. What is
the here's the question, what is the most puzzling thing
about the Eagles offense under Jalen Hurts? A Super Bowl
winning quarterback? You can never criticize Jalen Hurts? What a bet?
Stay tuned, all right, So what is the most puzzling
thing about the Eagles offense with Jalen Hurts? How about
(16:45):
everything with the capitally, everything with the capital. It's like
Tom Hanks line from Forrest Gump Life and the Eagles
offense like a box of chocolate. You never know what
you're gonna get you just don't. And the Eagles they
seem fine to the low information fan. Everything's great, all right,
and it's working right now. They're eight and two. They're
(17:06):
on top of the NFC because of the tiebreaker, the
blocked fuel goal by the Eagles against the Rams. They
own the tiebreaker with the Rams, who beat a bad
Seattle Sam Dartle in that game. More than that later,
But the Eagles are in the presidential suite right now.
They are. They've got the room service going, they got
the maid service they've got to turn down. So they
got everything you need all right there. All while they're
(17:29):
quarterback Jalen Hurts is delivering the minimum viable effort do
the bare minut. You might as well work at the
DMV watching them play quarterback? My god, what happened? Where's
the vertical passing game? Where did it go? Where was it? Ever?
I thought that was a superstar quarterback. You told me
all Jaalden Hursts need to win the Super Bowl, superstar quarterback.
(17:50):
Boo done. Okay, won the Super Bowl, and this is
what you get. That's a super Bowl winning quarterback there.
I thought Offensive Player of the Year, that kind of guy.
Where's that guy? You want checkdown, so he'll give you
a checkdown. A lot of checkdown misthrowsw sailing over the
head or bouncing on the ground, avoiding risk like it's gluten.
There's a lot of that. That seems to be the
(18:11):
biggest issue that Jalen Hurts is afraid to throw balls
into tight windows because it's gonna get picked off, and
so rather he'll check it down. And the result is
you score less than fourteen points most games. And so
that's your franchise quarterback. And you look at the play
mixer it with squamp Barkley and the background in the
background and backfield rather but aj Brown. Look at these
guys they have on offense in Philadelphia, and it's like
(18:34):
watching someone drive a Nascar in the right lane going
forty eight miles an hour. Well, no, the goal is
not to go forty eight miles an hour in the
right lane. And you know you've got to do something
more than that. That's not good. And Philly, listen, they
keep humming along, right, they keep humming along. Everything's great here.
They win ugly builds, character builds great, and they win
sloppy games, and they win in the mud. Of course,
(18:55):
there's no mud on these games, most of these fields
because they're all field turf. But they win ugly. They
win ugly. And the Eagles offense really the football version
of a student that didn't study the night before an
exam and then rolls in there bleary eyed, hungry, thirsty,
and they get it done. They get it done and
(19:17):
somehow get an a minus. That just seems to work
out for them. I don't know how they do it.
The defense in this case is bailing out. The last
couple of games. The Eagles defense is absolutely build them
out against Green Bay and now this week here, this
is another Island game against the Detroit Lions. The run
game does just enough with Barkley just enough, and Hertz
just does the bare minimum not to lose. And that's
(19:40):
the recipe right now for the Philadelphia Eagles. It shouldn't work,
but it does work. It is working. And that's the
paradox with the Eagles, because Mark my Worth, you look
at that puzzle and said, well, the puzzle's working. I
can hear Fats and Philly and Jonathan and Delaware and
those guys and Fry Daddy O all our Eagle fans,
so they oh, it's working. Those are you? Those are
(20:01):
mallards work gang? Okay, okay, all right, for now, for now,
sooner or later, sooner or later. It catches up to you.
It always does. It always catches up to you.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For now.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's it's clicking. It's not sustainable, it's not Be.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, you blubber, list lame and me. Well, you know
what it's called over promise. You should be good at
it because you've been over promising women for years.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
and relationships, and if Rich and I are arguing about
something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue
on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
So our lead this hour from Cincinnati. We go to Cincinnati.
We do not go back and rehash the Monday night game,
the Cowboys winning big over the Raiders. But our leader
is from Cincinnati, where the flem flies. The talk follows
When the flem Flies, the talk follows follow up, follow
(21:51):
up to a previous Malard monologue. We now have the
Court of the NFL ruling on what happened. You might
remember Bengals wide receiver Jalen Jamar rather Jamar Chase. The
Bengal wide receiver Jamar Chase got into it with Jalen Ramsey,
the journeyman defensive back. They went back and forth. Ramsey
(22:14):
was ejected and he said Posting said, listen, that guy
sped on me. That guy's a spinner. And uh, oh my,
oh my god. Well, the NFL's ruled because at the
time Jamar Chase said, well, I didn't do it. I
didn't spit. No spit from me didn't happen. Well, it
turns out that Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase has been
(22:37):
suspended for one game one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey.
Chase can and will appeal the NFL's ruling to suspend him.
They say it's it's up in the air. I've heard
he has already started the appeal process. The evidence is overwhelming,
(23:00):
overwhelming evidence that he did it, and barring some kind
of eleventh hour plea deal, some kind of pardon from
the NFL, Jamar Chase will miss the Week twelve game
against the New England Patriots. If the suspension is uphill,
he'll be out. So that is a good jumping off point.
(23:22):
Let us discuss the question did did Bengals wide receiver
Jamar Chase actions warrant the one game NFL suspension. So
my observations of this, I have Planet Earth, Anthony Bourdain,
and rotting barn in the woods, and we will combine
(23:43):
all of these things together and we are going to
make some delicious kettle corn. Man, If you get kettlecorn
with just the right salt and sugar, it's one of
the great things. Not good for your teeth, but it's
really good, all right. So Number one, to answer the question,
did Jamar Chase actions did his actions warrant the suspensioned? Uh,
(24:07):
I'm gonna go a hell to the yeah, with a
giant chunk of mucus, big gooey green gob of mucus. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
The tape, don't lie, the tape, don't lie. We saw it.
It wasn't ai. You spin on a guy, you're out.
You spin on a guy, you're right now. In the
old days, they would encourage spitting, but not right now,
(24:31):
not right now. There's really no gray area on this.
Like I was thinking about as I was driving in,
was there any really out on this that you can
you can go to. It's the single most disrespectful thing
that one can do on a football field outside of
kicking someone in the nuts kick him in the pills.
That's pretty bad, I would say, spitting a giant loogie
(24:55):
right there in your face. Man, that's it. And it's
it's on four K video, it's not like the Who's
AI really okay? Crystal clear pristine video. And it looks
like someone shot the video on a brand new iPhone.
(25:16):
Like you know how you watch those commercials like the
iPhone and they show like yeah, they slow down everything
and they show you how good the camera is.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It was that kind of thing. It was like, oh, man,
that's really good. Look at that camera. Wow, that's expensive,
but that's a good camera. I can see look at
I can see that. I can see the little flem,
the pieces of phlegm, I can see it coming out
of the mouth of the player. You can literally see
the lugie, the launch angle. Baseball people love launch angle.
You could see the launch angle on the lougie and
(25:44):
as it approached Jalen Ramsey and his shoulder pads, you
could see it the launch angle. I'll have to check
with the Elias Sports Bureau, but it looked like one
of those nature documentaries. I'm a big documentary guy, so
I'll watch even nature documentaries, because that's exciting life. I
live as a middle aged man, so I watched these
nature documentaries and it's like Planet Earth, the migration of
(26:06):
the saliva wad, and you get some big voiceover guy
there with a deep voice, and you do the voiceover
the giant blob just gliding through the air on a
thermal current right to the player. Boom, President has been set.
We know that we talked about this. This is the
at least the second spinning monologue that we've gotten. Remember
(26:31):
the first game of the NFL season Philadelphia and Dallas,
there was the there was Originally it was like Dak
Prescott spit, but he you're allowed to spit as long
as the phlegm does not touch another human being. You
can spin on the ground, which proves the NFL does
not respect Mother Earth, because the NFL allows you to
spit giant wads of mucus onto Mother Earth, but if
(26:55):
you spin on another human being, it becomes problematic. So
Jalen Carter got tossed before the game. That counted as
a He was like on the field, but he didn't
play in a play, an actual snap, and so that
counted as a game suspension. So actions create consequences. We
all know that. And you do the crime, and you
(27:16):
have to do the time. In this case, if you
spit crime, you spit time. You have to do that.
You have to do that. So and what would the
defense be? Let's try to workshop that. What do you
think the defense would be for Jamar Chase the Bengal
wide receiver, Like, what would the defense be? Sorry, your honor,
(27:36):
I'm sorry to have to go over this with you.
I missed the bullseye. The lugi actually drifted, and since
the lugi drifted, I should only be suspended for the
first half. Well don we don't do that. We do
full game, we don't do first time. Well no, no, no,
I did not hit Ramsey in the face with the phlem.
I did not, Like, what are we doing? It's you
(28:00):
don't get leniency because your spit had bad wind resistance.
Which is what happened to Jamar Chase. Here is he
hit the shoulder pad the jersey but not it did
not appear. There might have been some shrapnel, mucus, little
bits of bacteria that hit Ramsey, but the main lugi
(28:21):
and I watched this about one hundred times. The main
lugi hit the jersey shoulder pad area of Jalen Ramsey.
You know, so just listen't just own it, you hawk
to it. And that's what you did.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
And night.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There you go. Now the good news I'll be Benny
Brightside because I'm not just a negative overnight gas bag.
I will be Benny Brightside here and as Benny Brightside.
The good news is Jamar Chase now has dinner reservations
with legends like Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett and who
else a Jalen Carter, Bill Romanowski, the greatest Rajon Rondo.
(29:00):
Remember when he's spat on some of your monologue about
that Reggie Miller a spinner. Do you know that? Yeah,
Reggie Miller. So, Paul, you spat on a fan back
in the day with the pacers. So now how cool
is that Jamar Jamar Chase can can pass the breadsticks
around the table, have some fetcini Alfredo with Roberto Alomar
(29:20):
and Carl Everett and Jalen Carter and Bill Romanowski and
all those guys. Rondo, that's a holy trinity of flem
It's great.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Radio from Philadelphia. And right there there it was big Game,
Big Game AFS and not AFC, NFC, NFC Sloberknocker. On
a cool night in the Delaware Valley. You had Jared
(00:47):
Goff leading the motorcade from Motown, the Detroit Lions taking
on the phili eddelphiing is with Jalen Hurts and the
Birds the birds oll thumb wrestling action and out of
that cause we had Mike Tarrico, you had Collinsworth. They
were calling the game for Peacock NBC doing their thing.
They're an island game, living the island life. And if
(01:10):
you didn't see the game ibe you missed it, well,
don't worry. We watched so you would not have to it.
As our act of kindness, our public service, if you will, so.
Jalen Hurts did score a touchdown, he didn't throw a touchdown,
he scored a touchdown, and otherwise mostly bupkus for the
team representing the state of Pennsylvania. They're a feeble offensive effort, anemic.
(01:36):
But yet the Eagles offense despite not doing their job.
He's supposed to do your job. They didn't do their job. However,
it was enough for a sixteen to nine win over
the Lions, who failed on every fourth down attempt, and
they kept going and going and going and going and
going and going. But we're going to begin with the losing.
(02:00):
Jaalen Hurt's not good, right, we know that. But the
better story is in the losing locker room, as the
team from Michigan an absolute stinker. The Eagles offense was
bad that the Lions offense somehow was worse, led by
the quarterback Jared Goff and trickling down. The suck, the
(02:22):
gooey ooey suck was going everywhere in that Detroit Lions
locker room. The offensive side, defensively, they were not even
how good they were. The Eagles were so bad on
offense it's hard hard to tell bad all the way around.
But let us discuss good jumping off point on that.
So we start with the quarterback Jared Goff. How do
(02:44):
you measure Jared Goff's performance for the Lions in this game?
So on this one, I've got software, Punk Rock and
Tom Hanks and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna put them into a food processor
and just see what we get. We'll just chop everything up,
(03:04):
make a puree, is what we're going to do. So
a listen, we measure it like the famous review years
ago on the Internet of the Popeyes cheddar Baby butterfly
shrimp thing. Remember that video. It's gone, it's a few
years old, but still funny. Your disappointment when you watch
Jared Goff play, Your disappointment is immeasurable watching him try
(03:27):
to play quarterback for the Lions, and your day is ruined.
Your day is absolutely ruined watching Jared Goff attempt to
play football. This was a v g situation, vintage golf,
watching Jared golf on Sunday night, straight out of the
vault from his era with the Rams back in the day.
And you could ram it all day. You could ram
(03:49):
it all night. But when Jared Golf was there, you
could not ram it in cold weather. Couldn't do it,
could not do it, couldn't happen. It's so important for
the Lions. They played a dome. You mentioned if they
played outdoors, Jared Goff would be out of the NFL.
Now they had to play outdoors in Detroit. Holy crap,
in the dome. He's fine, but there there it was
the sequel that nobody asked for. Watching Jared Goff futs
(04:10):
around out in the field. Now, Sean McVay top coach
in the NFL, Sean mcvavry. Sean McVay was so fed
up with Jared Goff. How fed up was he he
actually put together a basket of first round draft picks
and said, listen, this guy blows so much, we're gonna
give you multiple first round picks to get take Jared
(04:30):
Goff plays. We don't want to be haunted by the
demons of Jared Goff. And the Lions took him. Suckers, suckers,
you took Jared Goff. Haaa, he stinks. I'm not. This
is a guy. He's a little bit better than Sam Donald,
who also blows. Where are those Seahawks fans by the way,
where you're at Haha, he sucks anyway. Listen, Jared Goff
(04:53):
completed less than forty percent of his passes in this game.
He had one touchdown and one interception and twenty six.
I went back in, I count twenty six negative plays
for Jared Goff. Twenty six. That's not a quarterback, Okay,
that is a weather report gone wrong, which is often
(05:16):
the case when you watch Jared Golf play. It's not
one bit surprising if you happen to watch Benny versus
the Penny on the YouTube. This last episode, we broke
down the Lions game and on that TV Slash YouTube
show we talked about we talked about this and the
issues that Jared Golf has. When it's not some kind
of secret. I'm not giving inside information here. Anyone working
(05:39):
brain knows this. When the thermist that I mean, tad works,
when the thermist that drops before what's called California comfortable
anything below sixty degrees California comfortable anying below that, you
give this guy forty degree weather and win like they
had in Philadelphia at the start of the game, got
(06:00):
colders the night when I was like forty five degrees.
Suddenly the software crashes. It just crashes. He starts buffering.
He needs an update. There's a glitch, the thing of
a jig's not working. The watching MC call, you can't
fix it. Watching Jared Golf play in cold weather is
like watching a preview of a horror movie. You know
(06:21):
there's gonna be some kind of jump scare somewhere in there.
You're not sure exactly where it's going to be, but
it's gonna be in there. It's coming. And with Jared Goff,
is it going to be I don't know. Is it
gonna be a fumble? Is it gonna be the horrific interception?
What is it going to be?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The sack, the ill time sack? Which one is gonna be?
You know it's coming, It's coming. Attractions with Jared Golf
outdoors cold weather, I'm wasn't even that cold. It's gonna
get a lot worse, right, And here's the Lions' only hope.
And they actually had this last year and he still
left it up. But the Lion's only hope is home
(06:56):
field advantage and stay relatively healthy and then do some
kind of deep meditation something along those lines. And if
you do all that, you'll still probably end up screwing
this thing up. But if you go on the road,
forget about it. You know, imagine if the Lions have
to play on the road in the playoffs in Philly
or Detroit or Green Bay or somewhere like that. Oh man,
(07:19):
that's not gonna end. Well, it's not anywhere outside where
the breeze goes above eight miles an hour. It's not
going to be a pleasant situation for the team that
wears the Honolulu Blue. There you can say it would
be OvR over. He just fizzles and shrivels, Jared Goff,
(07:40):
and it just you know it's gonna happen. Well, here's
Jared Goff, in his own words, the man that's stunk
it up for the Detroit Lions in golf. Here, let's
jump the cut two here pointing out that he did
not get the job done.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Take a list six and four right in the middle
of the season, got three home games coming up, got
a lot to look forward to, a lot of a
lot of us things in front of us. We got
a good veteran unit. We respond the right way, We
will respond the right way. And yeah, it sucks as stings.
You want to come out here and play well and
beat a really good team and be able to have
you know, a kind of hallmark win of the middle
of the season, but didn't get a ton and got
to move on final way to win next week. We
(08:16):
had to do our job and try to score. Wow,
we didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
He still goes horrible.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
It's worse. You know, our defense plays well and I
feel like you let them down, and you know, I know,
I certainly do, and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I think that might take the right I don't know.
That seemed like the record setter for most cliche. That
was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's how long was that sound?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
By?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
What are we looking at here? Thirty seconds? Thirty seconds?
I wasn't counting at the beginning. I want to play
the cliche game. Do we have? Do we have the standard?
Do we have? You give me some Scott pod Sednik
to get me in the mood here. This is the
all time king of the cliches. Here. This is a
guy used to be a baseball player. Well he still
guess a former baseball player played for the Dodgers at
(08:53):
the end of his careers, know as a White Sox.
He was on the White Sox team that won the
World Series twenty years ago, and he played for the
He bounced around, play with the Mariners, play with the Dodgers. Anyway,
he was doing the Dodger post game thing, and he
gave us the gold standard for most cliches. Take a list.
It's Zidy right here.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Well, they're all important. We got to win as many
as we can. A lot of baseball we played. Anything
can happen. Yeah, We're gonna come the yard each and
every day, bottle each night and look up at the
end of see what we say, and we know our
work is cut out for us.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
We got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Hopefully we can all come together, realize what we have
here and try to get something done.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's the gold standard. Let's hear now, we will juxtapose
what you just heard, and now we will do the count.
Before we count though, Let's play a little game. You
can play along as well as you listen here and
try to stay focused on what you're doing. Let's try
thirty second sound bite. Let's try to guess how many
cliches Jared Goff worked into a thirty second sound bite.
I'm gonna say I'm gonna go fourteen. I'm gonna go fourteen.
(09:50):
Anyone else went in on this a lot? That is
a lot.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I'll go half of you half.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's seven. Oh, it's more than seven. It's got to
be more than seven. All right, coop for a thirty
second sound and he doubled up on some. But we're
gonna count those.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
So I think he's closer to Loraina. I think there
was a lot of talking with them without saying much.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So okay, all right, I don't know. All right, here
we go. We're playing the Jared golf cliche game. This
is the suck bag quarterback of you Detroit Lions. Let's
go to the audio tape. Here we go, play again,
six and four.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right in the middle of the season, got three home
games coming up, got a lot to look forward to,
got a lot of football ahead of us. Everything's in
front of us. We got a good veteran unit. We
responded the right way.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We Sava spawned the right way.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And yeah it sucks his stings. You come out here
and play well and bed a really good team and
be able to have you know, kind of hallmark win
of the middle of the season. But didn't get a
ton got to move on final way to win next week.
We had to do our job and try four points
and we didn't. It feels horrible.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's there's worse.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You know, our defense plays well and feel like you
let them down, and you know, I know I certainly
do and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I think that's I think I had thirteen. I counted thirteen.
He was like he was at seven. I feel like
he was at seven in like twelve seconds. Yes, it was,
it was. It was a rapid fire playing a guy.
Guys playing the guy.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You can't six and four. Right in the middle of
the season. One got three home games coming up.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
We're right, we got home games.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
We got home games coming up.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
All we got home games.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Middle. That's not a cliche. You don't win all your
home games. It's a cliche. It's laziness, is what it is.
Plany guy, blady guy right.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
In the middle of the season, got three home games
coming up to look.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Forward to, not to look forward by fat ass.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Out of us. Everything's in front of us. We got
a good veteran unit. We responded, call meself out here
and play well. And he had a really good team.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Okay, he's empty the man's got no soul. There's Jared Goff.
I can't wait till his cheesy radio show in Detroit.
I'm sure that'll be amazing anyway, all right now, move
turn the page. The other issue, the will the beast
in the room, if you will, for the Detroit Lions.
Here the Lions who entered the game averaging thirty one
point four points per game. Of course, that was mostly
(12:01):
in domes and against bad opponents. They turned the ball
over five times on downs. They didn't punk the ball away,
they didn't they didn't throw interceptions and fumbled. They turned
it over on downs, Okay, which is not ideal. Was
not the record, but it was close to the record.
(12:22):
And so that's where we are here is let's hear
from Jared Gough. This is a cut one on Jared Goff.
Here's Jared Goff on the fourth quarter or the fourth
down players. What do you ha to say?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I don't think there's anything to do with him and
I I think there was just tight coverage and yeah,
we just didn't connect. There's a few I'd like to
have back that I that I just missed on. Slight
miscommunication on our end on one or two of them maybe,
but it should never be that bad. It really shouldn't.
It wasn't good enough.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Okay, And now here's Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell just in general,
forget just the fourth downs, but here's Dan Campbell pointing
out that, well, this did not go as planned.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
We were just a little off. I mean, it really
was kind of one of those days. I hate saying that,
but it was just a little bit of one of
those days. And Golf and Saint Brown don't connect more
than that. You know, that's just a rare thing because
those guys, those guys have such a good connection. But
you know, there again, man, we're all involved in this.
We all got a hand in it for me, the coaches,
(13:22):
all of us. Man, everybody that's part of this offense.
You know, we got to be better, especially in a
day like today when you're playing that kind of defense,
that kind of team.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Right, So that Dan Campbell took over as the play caller.
Continue that. So the question, let's just focus in on
the fourth then we'll focus in on the on the
fourth down. So why does Dan Campbell continue to be
a unhinged daredevil on fourth then? So the obvious answer
is because this is who he is, this is who
he has become. He loves punk rock. He's a big
(13:52):
fan of punk rock. Dan Campbell his favorite band all
time is Bad Religion. Big fan of Bad Religion, and
this is nerd approved. I can't think of a more
meat head coach than Dan Campbell, and I like the guy.
I don't hate Dan Campbell. He the guy's a meathead.
The guy's an absolute meathead. I don't have a problem
with it. But some nerds said, okay, go for it
on fourth then, and Dan Campbell's like okay. So he
(14:14):
grunted like the caveman and said, Okay, I'll just go
for it on fourth out every single time. No logic,
no rhyme, no reason. I'll just keep going for it
on fourth out over and over and over and over,
and it gets approved and the geeks like it and
the smart people like it. I'm gonna keep doing it.
I can't stop. Dan Campbell wakes up every morning every
(14:34):
morning and he pounds a coffee the size of a
fire extinguisher and then whispers to himself, Live by the Sword,
Die by the Sword, and Sunday night. If you watch
the game, that was a bloody crime scene, very violent
death for the Detroit Lions, zero for five on fourth down.
A lot of stuff spilled everywhere, and as a result,
(14:55):
because of this, the Detroit Lions find themselves in the
eighth sp in the NFC. You want to take a
guess how many teams make the playoffs in the NFC.
In ain't eight. Right now, the Detroit Lions are a
non playoff team. Let me repeat that for those of you
in the back round. The Lions are not a playoff
team at this point. They're out. They're out of the playoffs.
(15:18):
Seven in their number eight. That's your twenty twenty five
Detroit Lions six and four and watching from the kids
table when the playoffs start if the Lions do not
pick things up here. Dan Campbell, he coaches like every
game is a bar fight at a waffle house at
two thirty in the morning, and look when it works,
(15:39):
and it has worked a lot the last couple years
of the Lions. He's the folk hero. He's the macho man,
Dan Hambell, biting kneecaps and all that stuff and lifting
weight weight up, and like he's like a superhero picking
a school bus up off somebody fell on top of.
He's just that's who he is. But when it doesn't,
it becomes biblical and not in a good one. All right,
(16:00):
the Lord give it, the Lord take it away for
the Detroit Lions here and on Sunday night he took
it away hard, hard, hard heart. And the best part
I love the shots of Dan Campbell when he seems
genuinely shocked that that fourth down play didn't happen, like
it didn't work. Oh my god, I can't believe it
didn't happen. It's amazing. What is up with that? All right?
Last word? We go now to the Philadelphia side of things,
(16:23):
where the Eagles win without any style points. What is
the here's the question, what is the most puzzling thing
about the Eagles offense under Jalen Hurts? A Super Bowl
winning quarterback? You can never criticize Jalen Hurts? What a bet?
Stay tuned, all right, So what is the most puzzling
thing about the Eagles offense with Jalen Hurts? How about
(16:45):
everything with the capitally, everything with the capital. It's like
Tom Hanks line from Forrest Gump Life and the Eagles
offense like a box of chocolate. You never know what
you're gonna get you just don't. And the Eagles they
seem fine to the low information fan. Everything's great, all right,
and it's working right now. They're eight and two. They're
(17:06):
on top of the NFC because of the tiebreaker, the
blocked fuel goal by the Eagles against the Rams. They
own the tiebreaker with the Rams, who beat a bad
Seattle Sam Dartle in that game. More than that later,
But the Eagles are in the presidential suite right now.
They are. They've got the room service going, they got
the maid service they've got to turn down. So they
got everything you need all right there. All while they're
(17:29):
quarterback Jalen Hurts is delivering the minimum viable effort do
the bare minut. You might as well work at the
DMV watching them play quarterback? My god, what happened? Where's
the vertical passing game? Where did it go? Where was it? Ever?
I thought that was a superstar quarterback. You told me
all Jaalden Hursts need to win the Super Bowl, superstar quarterback.
(17:50):
Boo done. Okay, won the Super Bowl, and this is
what you get. That's a super Bowl winning quarterback there.
I thought Offensive Player of the Year, that kind of guy.
Where's that guy? You want checkdown, so he'll give you
a checkdown. A lot of checkdown misthrowsw sailing over the
head or bouncing on the ground, avoiding risk like it's gluten.
There's a lot of that. That seems to be the
(18:11):
biggest issue that Jalen Hurts is afraid to throw balls
into tight windows because it's gonna get picked off, and
so rather he'll check it down. And the result is
you score less than fourteen points most games. And so
that's your franchise quarterback. And you look at the play
mixer it with squamp Barkley and the background in the
background and backfield rather but aj Brown. Look at these
guys they have on offense in Philadelphia, and it's like
(18:34):
watching someone drive a Nascar in the right lane going
forty eight miles an hour. Well, no, the goal is
not to go forty eight miles an hour in the
right lane. And you know you've got to do something
more than that. That's not good. And Philly, listen, they
keep humming along, right, they keep humming along. Everything's great here.
They win ugly builds, character builds great, and they win
sloppy games, and they win in the mud. Of course,
(18:55):
there's no mud on these games, most of these fields
because they're all field turf. But they win ugly. They
win ugly. And the Eagles offense really the football version
of a student that didn't study the night before an
exam and then rolls in there bleary eyed, hungry, thirsty,
and they get it done. They get it done and
(19:17):
somehow get an a minus. That just seems to work
out for them. I don't know how they do it.
The defense in this case is bailing out. The last
couple of games. The Eagles defense is absolutely build them
out against Green Bay and now this week here, this
is another Island game against the Detroit Lions. The run
game does just enough with Barkley just enough, and Hertz
just does the bare minimum not to lose. And that's
(19:40):
the recipe right now for the Philadelphia Eagles. It shouldn't work,
but it does work. It is working. And that's the
paradox with the Eagles, because Mark my Worth, you look
at that puzzle and said, well, the puzzle's working. I
can hear Fats and Philly and Jonathan and Delaware and
those guys and Fry Daddy O all our Eagle fans,
so they oh, it's working. Those are you? Those are
(20:01):
mallards work gang? Okay, okay, all right, for now, for now,
sooner or later, sooner or later. It catches up to you.
It always does. It always catches up to you.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For now.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's it's clicking. It's not sustainable, it's not Be.
Speaker 2 (20:17):

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day

Speaker 1 (20:31):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, you blubber, list lame and me. Well, you know
what it's called over promise. You should be good at
it because you've been over promising women for years.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
and relationships, and if Rich and I are arguing about
something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue
on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by

little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

Speaker 9 (21:17):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
So our lead this hour from Cincinnati. We go to Cincinnati.
We do not go back and rehash the Monday night game,
the Cowboys winning big over the Raiders. But our leader
is from Cincinnati, where the flem flies. The talk follows
When the flem Flies, the talk follows follow up, follow
(21:51):
up to a previous Malard monologue. We now have the
Court of the NFL ruling on what happened. You might
remember Bengals wide receiver Jalen Jamar rather Jamar Chase. The
Bengal wide receiver Jamar Chase got into it with Jalen Ramsey,
the journeyman defensive back. They went back and forth. Ramsey
(22:14):
was ejected and he said Posting said, listen, that guy
sped on me. That guy's a spinner. And uh, oh my,
oh my god. Well, the NFL's ruled because at the
time Jamar Chase said, well, I didn't do it. I
didn't spit. No spit from me didn't happen. Well, it
turns out that Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase has been
(22:37):
suspended for one game one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey.
Chase can and will appeal the NFL's ruling to suspend him.
They say it's it's up in the air. I've heard
he has already started the appeal process. The evidence is overwhelming,
(23:00):
overwhelming evidence that he did it, and barring some kind
of eleventh hour plea deal, some kind of pardon from
the NFL, Jamar Chase will miss the Week twelve game
against the New England Patriots. If the suspension is uphill,
he'll be out. So that is a good jumping off point.
(23:22):
Let us discuss the question did did Bengals wide receiver
Jamar Chase actions warrant the one game NFL suspension. So
my observations of this, I have Planet Earth, Anthony Bourdain,
and rotting barn in the woods, and we will combine
(23:43):
all of these things together and we are going to
make some delicious kettle corn. Man, If you get kettlecorn
with just the right salt and sugar, it's one of
the great things. Not good for your teeth, but it's
really good, all right. So Number one, to answer the question,
did Jamar Chase actions did his actions warrant the suspensioned? Uh,
(24:07):
I'm gonna go a hell to the yeah, with a
giant chunk of mucus, big gooey green gob of mucus. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
The tape, don't lie, the tape, don't lie. We saw it.
It wasn't ai. You spin on a guy, you're out.
You spin on a guy, you're right now. In the
old days, they would encourage spitting, but not right now,
(24:31):
not right now. There's really no gray area on this.
Like I was thinking about as I was driving in,
was there any really out on this that you can
you can go to. It's the single most disrespectful thing
that one can do on a football field outside of
kicking someone in the nuts kick him in the pills.
That's pretty bad, I would say, spitting a giant loogie
(24:55):
right there in your face. Man, that's it. And it's
it's on four K video, it's not like the Who's
AI really okay? Crystal clear pristine video. And it looks
like someone shot the video on a brand new iPhone.
(25:16):
Like you know how you watch those commercials like the
iPhone and they show like yeah, they slow down everything
and they show you how good the camera is.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It was that kind of thing. It was like, oh, man,
that's really good. Look at that camera. Wow, that's expensive,
but that's a good camera. I can see look at
I can see that. I can see the little flem,
the pieces of phlegm, I can see it coming out
of the mouth of the player. You can literally see
the lugie, the launch angle. Baseball people love launch angle.
You could see the launch angle on the lougie and
(25:44):
as it approached Jalen Ramsey and his shoulder pads, you
could see it the launch angle. I'll have to check
with the Elias Sports Bureau, but it looked like one
of those nature documentaries. I'm a big documentary guy, so
I'll watch even nature documentaries, because that's exciting life. I
live as a middle aged man, so I watched these
nature documentaries and it's like Planet Earth, the migration of
(26:06):
the saliva wad, and you get some big voiceover guy
there with a deep voice, and you do the voiceover
the giant blob just gliding through the air on a
thermal current right to the player. Boom, President has been set.
We know that we talked about this. This is the
at least the second spinning monologue that we've gotten. Remember
(26:31):
the first game of the NFL season Philadelphia and Dallas,
there was the there was Originally it was like Dak
Prescott spit, but he you're allowed to spit as long
as the phlegm does not touch another human being. You
can spin on the ground, which proves the NFL does
not respect Mother Earth, because the NFL allows you to
spit giant wads of mucus onto Mother Earth, but if
(26:55):
you spin on another human being, it becomes problematic. So
Jalen Carter got tossed before the game. That counted as
a He was like on the field, but he didn't
play in a play, an actual snap, and so that
counted as a game suspension. So actions create consequences. We
all know that. And you do the crime, and you
(27:16):
have to do the time. In this case, if you
spit crime, you spit time. You have to do that.
You have to do that. So and what would the
defense be? Let's try to workshop that. What do you
think the defense would be for Jamar Chase the Bengal
wide receiver, Like, what would the defense be? Sorry, your honor,
(27:36):
I'm sorry to have to go over this with you.
I missed the bullseye. The lugi actually drifted, and since
the lugi drifted, I should only be suspended for the
first half. Well don we don't do that. We do
full game, we don't do first time. Well no, no, no,
I did not hit Ramsey in the face with the phlem.
I did not, Like, what are we doing? It's you
(28:00):
don't get leniency because your spit had bad wind resistance.
Which is what happened to Jamar Chase. Here is he
hit the shoulder pad the jersey but not it did
not appear. There might have been some shrapnel, mucus, little
bits of bacteria that hit Ramsey, but the main lugi
(28:21):
and I watched this about one hundred times. The main
lugi hit the jersey shoulder pad area of Jalen Ramsey.
You know, so just listen't just own it, you hawk
to it. And that's what you did.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
And night.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There you go. Now the good news I'll be Benny
Brightside because I'm not just a negative overnight gas bag.
I will be Benny Brightside here and as Benny Brightside.
The good news is Jamar Chase now has dinner reservations
with legends like Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett and who
else a Jalen Carter, Bill Romanowski, the greatest Rajon Rondo.
(29:00):
Remember when he's spat on some of your monologue about
that Reggie Miller a spinner. Do you know that? Yeah,
Reggie Miller. So, Paul, you spat on a fan back
in the day with the pacers. So now how cool
is that Jamar Jamar Chase can can pass the breadsticks
around the table, have some fetcini Alfredo with Roberto Alomar
(29:20):
and Carl Everett and Jalen Carter and Bill Romanowski and
all those guys. Rondo, that's a holy trinity of flem
It's great.
