Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pizza Pizza. It's our number, our number four, And we
begin here with the shakeup in Minnesota. There's some conspiracy
theories out. How much stalk do you put in the
vikings JJ McCarthy being benched even though the team is
saying he's in the concussion protocol. Also, give me your

(00:20):
reaction to Bengals white out Jamar Chase apologizing for the
loogie herd round the NFL. And in Philadelphia, can you
decode why Eagles coach Nick Siriani is refusing to change
his offensive coaching staff. He's dodging questions about changing coordinators

(00:41):
and whatnot. We'll get to that and much more right now.
Have a wonderful rest of your Tuesday, the twenty fifth
day of November. Here it is our number four, stuck
in a purple haze. If you will welcome in beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are

(01:04):
in the air everywhere as we talk to talk. It's
literally the job. We have to talk to talk, and
we say ask for more than one slice. You need
more than one slice. Coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the vast and inconceivably powerful microphones of

(01:25):
fsre ammating live from the cookware as we keep the
pot boiling all night long into the early morning hours
of the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. As approved
by the Georgia boy and also approved by Perrito, who
gives us the thumbs up. Now, this portion of the

(01:46):
Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in part by
our friends at tier Rak as for over forty years,
Tyrak has been helping customers like Rob the Goatman find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
And even Nature Boy knows their ship fast and freeback
by free road hazard protection, and the courtesy Flusher reminds

(02:11):
me they have convenient installation options like multile tire installation,
tire rack dot Com and that's the way to go,
the way tire buying should be. And Georgia Boyce says, Hey,
what about that DraftKings. That's right, that's right. This show
is also sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook, unofficial sports betting partner
of the NFL and NBA. Right now, use the promo

that's promo code Mallard m A L L E R.
At DraftKings. The crowd is yours all right, back to
what we go and we're not going to start with
that Monday night game. Done of a game. Brock Perty
had three interceptions in the first half. Carolina sucks so

(02:54):
much they lost the game anyway cause they don't have
a quarterback either. One of those guys got paid there.
We did a full monologue you hear it on the
podcast later on as the Niners get the win in
a clunker of a game. But our lead this our
speaking of clunkers, We go now to Minneapolis, where the
juicy Lucy's are fresh and the football is bad, bad, bad,

(03:17):
bad bad bad. A lot of funny business going on
in the Twin Cities this week, which has led to
conspiracy theories. Do do do do do do? Do? Do? Do?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Do do do?

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Do you see this?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
All right? So the story is that Vikings quarterback J. J. McCarthy,
a Michigan man for Jim Harbaugh back in the day
and forever quarterback. The Vikings did everything right. They red
shirted McCarthy. He had an injury, but he learned everything
and he was around the team and ready to go.

(03:50):
Great coach, great receiver, set up to succeed, so big
he can't fail, so big he can't fail. Well, then
they had to play the games well. Vikings, Vikings, the
quarterback JJ McCarthy has entered into the concussion protocol. WHOA yeah,
this after he was not injured during the game. Mind you,

(04:14):
he didn't leave the game with a concussion. He didn't
step to the sidelines to go into the medical tent. No, no, no.
The reporting claims that the symptoms were developed on the
flight back, the very short flight from lombeau Field back
to Minneapolis on Sunday night. According to Kevin O'Connell, the

(04:36):
Viking coach, said, that's how that went down. Now, O'Connell
did not officially rule McCarthy out for the game at Seattle. However,
the backup, someone you've never heard of, will be taking
first team reps. It's a walky week because a lot
of teams are taking in the Thursday festivities of Thanksgiving.

(04:58):
But the Vikings, according to the coach, the backup is
gonna get first team reps, et cetera, et cetera. So
now the conspiracy theorist would like to enter the chat
they've got their tenfoil hats on and all that. The Illuminati,
the illuminati, So the conspiracy crowd, they believe that what's
going on here is a soft benching, a soft benching.

(05:24):
Really yeah, So that's a good jumping off point. Let
us discuss the question how much stalk do you put
in to the vikings JJ McCarthy benching conspiracy and this
is actually a soft and delicate benching that's going on.
So on this one, I've got penalty box, eye chart

(05:45):
and karaoke and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make and all you
can eat buffet of Baba ganoosh is what we're going
to do. Delicious baba ganush. So to lead off the
festivities here, I'm taking a small position. When I was
asked how much stock I want to buy, I'm gonna

(06:06):
take a small position in the stock on the conspiracy theory. Remember,
we get a version of the truth. We do not
get the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. You
can smell it from Minneapolis to Duluth and down to
Fargo where Screaming Stephen is in North Dakota doing his thing.

(06:27):
You can just smell it. He just smells like there's
some funny business going on with the Vikings. And this
wasn't a concussion. I mean, here's what it Wasn't just
a concussion. Okay, I don't know they had a concussion
or not, but this was a mercy eviction from QB

(06:47):
one status for JJ McCarthy. McCarthy's season has been a
demolition derby. He has been really good at one thing
for the Vikings, getting hurt. He's really good at that.
Playing football, not so much getting hurt. Elite elite, elite, elite, elite,

(07:08):
high ankle sprain, check, bruised throwing hand check check. Now
a mystery concussion emerging on a plane short flight from
Green Bay slash Appleton to Minneapolis. Come on, it's got
all the signs, all the signs of a shadow benching

(07:31):
is what it has, all of them? He does You
protect the player, that's the first thing. Well, you protect
the player, You protect the investment. The Vikings are betting
a lot on JJ McCarthy. You protect the head coach
from having to come out and say the words, I'm
benching JJ McCarthy, the guy who's supposed to be our

(07:54):
forever quarterback. The guy who's supposed to be a great savior.
I'm benching him. Don't have to say that, you don't
have to say it. No, he's getting a migraine on
the plane, and we didn't have any pharmacy grade advil,
pharmacy great ibuprof and so we'll just you know, that's it.
It's the NFL's version of just not feeling well, that's it,

(08:19):
and just toss out the concussion protocol and you're good
to go. So I'm calling it a trip to the
penalty box, is what I'm calling it. Here. Visit not
the shadow band, the shadow realm, to the shadow realm.
We go and you put him in the program, the
concussion protocol, and you scrub all the stats, scrub a

(08:41):
dub dub, get rid of all that. McCarthy is dead last,
not dead giveaway, dead last in QBR in accuracy and
touchdown interception ratio. He's at the bottom of just about
every meaningful statistical category. If you look at the very
bottom and go page down, page down, page down, page down,

(09:01):
page down. There he eyes he's even behind Wi Fi
on the plane. He's that slow. He's that so and
as of as of the last media availability by the
Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings claimed they had not been able
to find the play where McCarthy got the concussion. Hello,

(09:24):
let me repeat that for those of you in the
back of him. So the Vikings say that this guy
has a concussion. They claimed that he started feeling concussion
symptoms on the plane. They went back and they watched
the clips of the game, and there's no play where
he looks like he got a concussion. None. Does that

(09:45):
smell okay? Hmm, no, no, no, I don't know about that.
Now I can't find the play. Yeah, you know what
that sounds like to me? Copycat, copycat. We've seen sh
ato benching's going on in the NFL. Kyler Murray benched
by the Arizona Cardinals for Jacoby Brissett. He was practicing,

(10:08):
getting ready to come back, and then the Vikings or
the Cardinals rather all of a sudden came out as,
oh no, he's always really messed up. Oh man, could
be a season any injury. I go with the conspiracy
crowd in Houston that CJ. Stroud. C J Stroud has
been shadow benched by the Texans. I saw a story

(10:29):
on Monday where the coach there of the Texans like, well,
looks like he's not able to practice now, c J. Stroud,
So Davis Mills will likely continue as the quarterback of
the Texans this coming week and the Texans get back
on the field. That makes you wonder what's going on too, right? Concussion.
That'll be his fourth missed game in a row for

(10:52):
c J. Stroud, And they could have put him on
the injured reserve list and had another player you missed
four games that's injured reserve. But he's still there. So
you look at that and you take McCarthy off the
front line if you're the Vikings here, and you blame
it on the brain scan and the thing of a

(11:13):
jig in the head that's not really working right and
all that stuff, and McCarthy likely suffered my theory is
the reason the Vikings can't tell you exactly the spot
where he suffered the traumatic brain injury the concussion is
because it likely happened on the plane flight, which is
what an hour maybe that maybe a little less than
an hour from Appleton, Wisconsin to Minneapolis. He suffered it

(11:36):
while watching highlights of him playing quarterback for the Vikings.
He started getting a headache he's like, well, that's not good.
Rewatching his own blooper tape, which is his sizzle tape,
and all of a sudden, it's like a CTE inducing
performance by McCarthy. Yet again. Now the worst case, when
I saw the Vikings say wow, we don't know when

(11:57):
he got hurt or the play that he got hurt.
It's giving me the Manny Ramirez vibes. The greatest story
ever told about Manny Ramirez when he was the Red
Sox and he hurt his leg and they one of
the beat writers for the Red Sox is like, you
seem to be walking pretty good on that leg, and
Manny could not remember what leg he had hurt because
he didn't hurt a leg. He just made it up.

(12:21):
There you go, we'll see what happened. McCarthy might end
up playing this week. I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Meanwhile, furthermore,
Cincinnati we go or the Bengals are bad at football
but good at content this year, thank the Bengals for that,
So we bring this up. Bengals start Jamar Chase has
returned from suspension. Now the Bengals play the Steelers on

(12:44):
Thanksgiving and in the lead up to that game, Jamar
Chase jumped on the gram and he was on there.
He said, quote, I take full responsibilit give the whole speech,
the whole rigam of war, the full speech, apologizing to
the fans, to the team, to the football community, to
the Steelers organization. Of course, he never mentioned Jalen Ramsey

(13:08):
by name, did mentioned him in the Instagram apology letter
that he wrote. So that leads us to the question,
give me your reaction to the Bengals wide receiver Jamar
Chase apologizing for the lugi heard round the NFL, the giant, fat,
juicy lugi heard round the NFL. He apologized. So this

(13:32):
is a classic half measure apology, half measure apology by
Jamar Chase. It's another unforced error by the Bengals player.
It is now I would like to present, for those
of you that are new to the show, the long
standing Malard position when it comes to public figures apologizing,

(13:55):
they should never apologize. Ever apologize. You apologize to the
people in your life. If you're married, you apologize to
your spouse. If you get a situation with your kids,
you get into an argument, you can apologize. That's fine.
If you're a public figure and you apologize. And this

(14:16):
normally comes up with politicians. In this case it's a
high profile athlete. It's never a good idea. Now the
malord position. Let me tell you why. The moment you apologize,
the mob arrives. It's never good enough mob. They show
up on the scene and they weaponize the apology. And

(14:36):
that's exactly what's happened here because the never enough crowd
they realize they're like, well, listen, I don't really want
an apology. I just want something to be upset about,
and I just want something to shake my head at.
And you happen to be the person because it's the
outrage business, the industrial complex of the outrage. Outraged in you.

(15:01):
I'm more offended in you. Yeah, that old thing, And
so the outrage business demands outrage. And if you look
at the eye chart and imagine you're at the eye doctor.
You look up the eye chart and for a blindless
is just imagine, but you're doing the whole ABC one
two three. Can you see line five?

Speaker 4 (15:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I can't see line for how about line three? I
can see line three at the Is that a Z
at the end? I don't know if that's a Z.
I'm not sure about that. What about that line two?
I'm good, I'm good on two, I'm good on one,
but three is a little fuzzy at the end. But yeah,
it's a lord. So I don't know what to do
with it. Uh, it's called the eighty twenty vision. Now
you want to have twenty twenty vision, but eighty twenty

(15:43):
vision is that's the malor theory on apologies. Eighty percent
of people when you apologize, if you're a public figure,
eighty percent of people think the apology is fake, you
were forced to do it and you don't really mean it.
And the other twenty percent, the other two twenty percent,
they don't care. So what are you apologizing for? Why

(16:03):
would you bother? No, it's never about forgiveness. It's not
about that. It's content for people who live in the
drama Aurama world. Those people. We all know those people.
The apology does not does not make people move on. Now,
Jamar Chase has some advertising dollars at play, and I

(16:25):
imagine that the people around him giving him bad advice
told him to apologize. I'm assuming he had nothing to
do with writing the apology and it was just posted
for him on his social media page. But that's my opinion.
Who knows if I'm wright or not. That's usually how
these things go. A bunch of people who are making
their living writing your coat tails say hey, let's clean
this up. We got a spill on Aisle seven. We're

(16:46):
gonna bring in supermarket Steve with a bucket. We're going
to clean up the spill on Aisle seven. And you
just look at the wording for Jamar Chase. My passion
is no excuse and emotions got the better of me.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
YadA YadA, YadA, yada'll so it basically took the sports
cliche template from sportscliche dot Com and dumped it into
crock or some.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Other ai and then that was that just knock it
out of the park. Why not? And he apologized to
everyone except Jalen Ramsey, So the guy that he actually
spat a giant wad of bacteria filled mucus on his uniform.
So you're the frustrated star. You did. You give the apology,
but it's like a sloppy apology. And then the Bad

(17:34):
Bengals season, it's another chapter for the Bad Bengals. It's
a bad job all the way around. And all that
silence works better. Silence works better than a staged apology.
That's my position, and I will die on that mountain. Meanwhile,
speaking of dying, the Philadelphia Eagles having a tough run
of it, losing to the Dallas Cowboys. How embarrassing, but

(17:54):
a twenty one point lead to the Dallas Cowboys did
not score after getting up twenty one nothing, Holy Conoley.
So I bring this up, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. Nick Sirianni,
rock scissors, paper Sirianni. Nick Sirianni came out with the
usual song and dance routine. If you saw this or not.

(18:15):
After the Eagles offense went belly up most of that
game against Dallas, he was asked whether or not there
would be any changes to the offensive coaching staff, namely
the offensive coordinator. Sirianni said quote, we're not as signing blame.
We just need answers. We've got the right people. Blah
blah blah blah blah blah regarding changes to the offensive
coaching staff. All right, let's get into this question. Eagles

(18:37):
coach Nick Sirianni saying this week that he has not
considered any offensive coaching changes for the Eagles the Birds
why not? Why not?

Speaker 4 (18:49):
All right?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
So initially the public position, and there have been some
changes in years past. The Eagles have changed coaching staff
during the season since Sirianni has been there. But on
this one, he's standing by his guy, offensive coordinator Mike Batulo,
like he's singing karaoke, standing by your man, little karaoke.
There from Nick Sirianni, the Eagles coach, and listen, dance

(19:13):
with the one who brought you. All that nonsense, all
that that sets up, and that works until the stage
starts cracking, locket, and it's like thin ice. All of
a sudden, You're like, well, this isn't good. It's like
a frozen pond. Well that's not good. Why is the
stage cracking? I don't understand. And Philly at this point
they're tiptoeing around. But they've got a really good record. Yes,

(19:36):
they have a good record, that is true. They're also
looking up at the Tuckers of the La Rams, a
team that they beat on a fluke blocked field goal
at the end of their game earlier this season. But
if you look around from thirty thousand feet, look at
the landscape around the NFL look around, right, and you
look around the league. Washington, just a few weeks ago

(19:57):
demoted their defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn the mess. So dan
Quinn's calling the defensive plays that hasn't worked out so well.
The Lions stripped their offensive coordinator of play calling duties,
Dan Campbell, is now punching the buttons on the offense
for the Lions and the Raiders. Tom Brady, the failed owner,
Tom Brady, who's the de facto GMS. No idea what

(20:19):
he's doing. He looks good on TV, though. Tom Brady
whacked both the defensive coordinator and the also the offensive
coordinator and the special teams coach. They're both gone. So
you think about the three headed monster, the tripod. You
have the coach, You've got the offensive corner, defensive corridor.
Some would say the special teams coach also. So it's

(20:40):
four parts, and two of the four have been exterminated
by the Raiders, and so teams all over the NFL
are pulling the fire alarm down all over the NFL.
Nick Sirianni he's holding hands and he's smoking the piece
pipe and he's doing deep breathing meditation. Positivity. Positivity positivity. Now,

(21:04):
why is that? Well, the theory, I have a theory
on this. The reason they're not futching around and changing
things is because they're scared of shaking the Jalen Hurts
snow globe, and they don't want to mess with the
snow globe of Jalen Hurts. I want to do it.
The Eagles are twenty third in passing offense, they're twenty
fourth in total offense. Yet statistically, Jalen Hurts, based on

(21:27):
the Quarterback Rating, is a top ten quarterback, which is
great until you realize it doesn't pass the common sense test.
You look at the performance of Jalen Hurts and the
numbers say, well, he's a top ten quarterback, yet the
offense is not is not running that way. It's like
he's playing with the safety break on. It's like, what
are you doing? Why are you playing with the safety

(21:49):
break on? One week he plays pretty well and like
the game against the Vikings a couple of weeks back,
looks pretty good. And then he has a dud, and
then another dud and then another dud and then I
have a good games. Well that's a good game. He's
turned around and he has a dud and a dud
and a dud, and it does again and again. So
hot and cold not great. There's also audible infighting that

(22:13):
we've discussed in recent days on the show, all the
symptoms of pat Riley's disease of me guys thinking about
themselves instead of the team, AJ Brown, among others. And
you've got Nick Sirianni, who's not going to change. No changes, Nick,
And that tells me that the Eagles have yet to

(22:34):
reach critical mass. They're not at critical mass. They're not.
Now will they end up at critical mass? A couple
more losses, all of a sudden, things turning sideways. The
Cowboys keep winning, and you're like, well, wait a minute here,
and then we can revisit this. And suddenly, all of

(22:54):
a sudden you're like, okay, now, you would assume that
the the Eagles should be able to take care of
the Bears, but the Bears keep winning these close games.
There's Tree in Chicago, knows. And then after that, if
you lose to the Bears that's in Philly, you lose
that game. You got the Chargers on an Island game
on Monday night, that's a losable game on the West Coast,

(23:16):
so then all of a sudden, you lose the Bears
games a turning point game because then you end up
with three losses in a row if you lose the Chargers. Now,
the good news is they closed the year. They got
the Raiders two games with the Commanders Tomato Camp and
also in their Buffalo at Buffalo. So the Bears game
is a turning point. You lose to the Bears, that's
two losses in a row, then the Chargers at three,

(23:38):
and you could lose to the Bills, so that'd be
four losses. You've already got three. You add a couple
more losses in there, three more losses and you get
the five losses, which still twelve and five is a
good year. But that's where the Eagles would find themselves
if things continue to go the way they're going here.
So they haven't reached a critical mass yet, but we'll
revisit this. They're pretending that this is just a brief slump,

(24:01):
and it certainly seems like it's more than that. I'm
not gonna say it's systemic, but there's something going on there.
And you just keep dancing with the one that brought you,
and that's it until you fall off the cliff, and
right now the toes of the eagles are hanging over
that edge of the of the cliff. So good luck.

a good theory, thank you. Yes, might as well testing.
I understand, we're work shopping it. That's what we're doing here.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Davante Adams said that he's had more fun in eleven
games playing for the Rams than he did playing with
Aaron Rodgers all those years. Oh my god, says having
the most fun he's ever had, DeVante Adams taking a
shot at Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, all those guys. Okay,

(27:02):
but let's be honest. If you were gonna go party
with any player and have a good time with them,
is Aaron Rodgers at the top of your list? Well,
it depends what you're looking for. If you want to
go out to the woods and have some mayahuasca, he's
the guy you're gonna go with. I'm just curious. Is
he here to play or is he here to be? Serious?
Matthew Stafford party are you saying because Stafford doesn't party?

(27:22):
Is that what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I'm just curious. I'm just curious what he's there to
be for. Is he there to play? Well, the reason
he loves playing for the Rams is because you can
ram it all day and you can ram it all night.
That's why he loves the Rams. Right there, clearly ram.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Rammit.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Let's go to Auto Bond. Butch, I gotta watch that
documentary Coop talked about in the Kop Scoop. It should
be up there right today? Is it night or was
it yesterday? Tonight? Right? Tuesday night? Yes? Today? Yeah? There's
a documentary about the bull. It's about the Bears Super
Bowl Shuffle?

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah? Where's it on Amazon or something? I don't know.
Let me double check. No, he's any dorouble check. What's
the auto Bon Butch? Remember that guy Otto Bon Busch?
He moved back to the States. He forgot about us. Hello, Butch,
I did.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
I did not forget about you. I still listened a
few nights a week. I just haven't called in for
a long time. And I don't have to work tomorrow,
So stay up.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Look at this. What a treat, the great auto Bon Butch.
You're happy back in the States and after all those
years abroad?

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Oh yeah, loving it? Hey, Coop Amen, Hey, hey, so
uh how about those Niners? Man? That game sucked and
I but you know they do pretty goddamn good oop
sir before quarterback in those three interceptions in the team
with like you know.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Can start say the good.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
They won?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
That's fine? Well for them, you know, it's it's your
forty million dollar quarterback though brock Perty.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Yeah, true, great, but you know three good things that
happened during that game though I hit I did a three,
I did a three team or wherever you want to
call it parlay, Niners will be ahead by five at halftime,
Niners to win by seven, and for McCaffrey to get
