Speaker 1 (00:00):
The greatness of the Ben Maler Show. It's our Numbbird two,
our number two, and the once proud Raiders the laughingstock
of pro football. They blow And a former Raider coach
and Tony O. Pierce says the Raiders may need decades
to fix because of the dysfunction in Vegas. Your thoughts
(00:24):
on that? Also, what do you make of Adam Thielen
asking for and receiving his pink slip from the Vikings
as he was let go and now is free to
roam around the NFL to find a new job. And
JJ Watt pushing back on full time NFL referee status,
He says, I don't know about that. That argument fixing
(00:44):
the issues? Does this make sense to you? Will go
there as well? And also ask a weed man, our
friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida. He spent years on the
mean streets of Miami and he's here to answer all
of life's hard questions. That's all part of our Number
two and it's yours right now. From the Silver and
(01:04):
Black to the Silver and Black. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as
we have the plate pleaser for you coast to coast, border.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
To border and beyond on the vast and beautifully powerful
microphones of FSR am monating live from the carousel. The
coaching carousel from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios
has approved by not a burner, not a burner who
(01:48):
tells us and he reminds us that this show is
made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, tire Raq has been helping customers
like Screoge in the Bay Area find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Even mister Irrigation
knows their ship fast and free he's in Houston. Back

So our lead this hour will circle back later on
to the Monday Night beat down as the Patriots get
(02:30):
another win and they're sitting pretty in the catbird seat
in the American Football Conference, the first team to eleven wins.
But our lead this hour is from Sin City, because
bad football makes for good talk radio. The fallout from
the flop, the floppy mcflop that is the Raiders. So
former Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, remember, this guy was born
(02:55):
to be a Raider and had the whole marketing campaign
and the fan base fell in love with him and
lasted just a full season and then it was turn
out the last the parties over. So he did an
interview this week, and it's about who cares what he
has to say. Well, I thought this was interesting, and
I have the key to the microphone. So here I
(03:18):
am so Antonio Piers. It says he said, not I
said he said. Antonio Pierce said that he doesn't think
the Raiders bad mojo will be solved anytime soon. So
if you didn't see this, perhaps not. Pierce says that
if the Raiders continue to go the way they're going,
and certainly they've gone down that path of this season,
(03:40):
he says they might need decades decades to fix this
bad boy. That's a quote. They might need decades to
fix this bad boy, Pierce said during a TV appearance
at AP as his friends call him, talked about the
one and done changes as the race have handed out
(04:02):
pink slips to two of the three coordinators. The special
teams coach got whacked, the offensive coordinator was molly whacked,
and the offensive coordinator he's gone, as I said, Chip Kelly.
The defensive coordinator has not been curb stomp yet, but
only because it's Pete Carroll's like pretty much doing everything
(04:22):
on defense. So that's where we are right now, he says,
everyone is. Antonio Pierce said, everyone's pointing fingers, but at
some point there has to be a thumb pointing back.
Offered that before. I've heard that before, all right, So
that is a good jumping off point. So let us
discuss the question. Former NFL head coach Antonio Pierce says,
(04:42):
the Raiders may need decades decades to fix because of
the dysfunction in the building. Your thoughts. So, I've got
mashed potatoes, boarding pass, and law of the jungle, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
(05:05):
are going to make some delicious kettle corn is what
we're going to make. So a let's start here. Antonio
Piers did not just light a match. He lit a
Molotov cocktail.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And loved it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
He loved the Molotov cocktail right into the silver and
black circus tent right Thearren Henderson at that big Raider
facility there. You know what, no lies detected, No lies detected.
This is a fresh wound. It's an open wound. It
is not scabbed over for Antonio Peers and he said, well,
(05:40):
it's just a disgrutal former employee. But is he wrong?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Is he wrong?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah? If you look at what Pierce did, and he said,
well he wasn't that good at coach. Okay, what about
the fossilized Pete Carroll, Good old Pete positive, Pete positively
sucks as Raider coach. Look at the slop they've trotted
out on the field and Pierce. If you do a
side by side between Antonio Pierce and Pete Carroll, Antonio
(06:10):
Pierce is looking more and more like a young John
Madden reincarnated with a clipboard and a boom mic my god.
Compared to the Raiders season this year, I saw the
Raiders in person. They're an embarrassedment. Gino Smith should not
even be in the NFL. He's that bad. The guy
just sucks. He's so terrible it's wild. And the fact
(06:30):
that Antonio Pierce did better with Gardner Minshew and Aidan
O'Connell last season. Now, I get that Pierce was going
for shock value, the shock and awe with the quote.
But sometimes the truth is the shock, Like that's the thing, right,
The truth is the shock. That is the thing there.
(06:50):
The dysfunction junction, what's your function that runs through the
entire organization fun our raiders. It runs through the organization
like gravy through mattsh potatoes, like a mashed potato volcano
with gravy everywhere, and standing in the middle of it.
You know, he's standing right in the middle, knee deep
in mashed potatoes and right there with the gravy, the
(07:14):
human traffic code. Mark Davis. Yeah, that guy, the spawn,
the next generation there, spawn OFVL and my god. So
you know, you can always find Mark Davis at the
PF chain's right near the Raider facility there inhaling Kung
pou chicken and making terrible decisions, rolling the dice and
(07:37):
on the craps table. And it comes back snake eyes
every single time. It's snake eyes. You hire normally, what
you do in business is you hire good employees and
get the f out of the way. Whether you're running
a professional sports team, you're running a radio station, a factory,
a trucking business, whatever, it might be. The most important
(08:00):
artist to hire good people and then just let them work.
That's it, right, And if you're an NFL owner, you
just hired a good executive and a smart executive, a
quality head coach, and get out of the way. And
what's going on now? Not in Raiderland, all right? Rat
Mark Davis is the common denominator in most of this run. Now,
(08:22):
Al Davis was actually still around at the beginning of
this debacle, but he was really old, good old Al.
So it goes back twenty three years. That's an entire
generation of face plants for the Raider franchise. And the
Raiders have become Area fifty one, the football version. It's
a mysterious barren, possibly occupied by extraterrestrial and competent land
(08:48):
out there in the Nevada desert. And now you got
pretty boy Tom Brady, Tom Brady, the man that is
the teflon Dawn. I don't see anyone ripping Tom Brady.
We're not part of the mainstream. We're on overnight. The
mainstream media will not go there. They will not go there.
I wonder why that is. I wonder whether the Tom
(09:09):
Brady they're tinkering. He is the GM by proxy of
the Raiders. And let's see he signed off on chip Kelly.
Give chip Kelly the most money of any offensive coordinator.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Check.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Let's hire Pete Carroll. Check Geno Smith the biggest crime
of them all to not only trade for Geno Smith,
to then pay Geno Smith more money. This is a
Vegas residency. The Raiders here of bad decisions and perform
nightly at the Collapse Theater right on the strip. There
(09:44):
the Raider Nation, as it is called. They deserve better.
They deserve better. And you don't see at the raider
charging him a lot of Raider fans. They're older. I
don't see many young Raider fans because they have been
cool in a long time. But they're stuck in this
barren wasteland, the Raiders of rubble and minefields and abandoned
trenches of what used to be the Raiders decades that
(10:08):
twenty years, twenty years, I mean, my guy so and
Antonio pissed the way things have gone the last couple
of years of the Raiders things. Actually, he might be
optimistic to say that twenty years is all it's going
to take all right. Now to Minnesota, we go a
roster move. Did the Vikings actually add a quarterback that
knows how to throat? No, Instead, they fired franchise icon
(10:30):
Adam Feelin bye bye one day after he was a
healthy scratch, which is what you don't want to be.
He was a healthy scratch and the shutout loss to
the Seattle football team, Adam Feelin turns out he wanted
to be fired. That's how bad the Vikings are. Franchise
legend would rather go to the unemployment line than finish
(10:53):
the year in the purple of the Minnesota Vikings. It's crazy,
absolutely crazy. And the Vikings traded for this guy from Caroline.
They traded some Day three draft picks, but who cares
about that, But they traded for the guy to add
to the roster so he could retire as a Minnesota
Viking and finish the year on the Vikings of the
Vikings are so bad that this guy's I don't want
(11:15):
to be here. I gotta leave, and so they asked
for the release. The decision was made. It ends the
second and final stint with the Purple People leaders for
Adam Thielen, his hometown team, and now he's gone there.
He ranks third in career touchdown catches. I'm told that's good.
Fourth in receptions. I'm also told that's good, and fifth
(11:37):
in receiving yards, which I also have heard is pretty
good for the Minnesota Viking now, he said in a
prepared statement posted on the social media, which likely he
had nothing to do with. Adam Feelin said that he
long ago decided that this would be his final season
and he wanted to go to a new place, go
compete somewhere else. He said, they want to go compete
(11:58):
somewhere else the last few weeks of my career. Question,
here's the question, what do you make of Adam Thielnd
asking for and receiving the pink slip the release from
the Minnesota Vikings. So let's just call this what this is.
Adam Thielen is ring chasing. In fact, right now, he's
(12:20):
sprinting through the terminal B at the Minneapolis Saint Paul
International Airport there trying to find his boarding pass to
catch a flight to Glorytown. He wants to go, not
Glory Hole. That's where Jerry Jones goes. Jerry goes to
Glory Hole. No, No, no, he wants Adam Thielen wants
to go to Glorytown, which is a different town. It's
(12:41):
the next town over. Well, no, this is Glorytown. This
is this is a little different here. But this is
not complicated. It's it's not the Vikings are admitting. He's
we suck and there is no chance. We have no future. Okay,
we like you. We are going to let you go.
That's what this is. And he saw the Viking office.
The other thing about this is Stealen came over from Carolina.
(13:03):
He saw the Vikings offense. The headless horseman. No quarterback
got shut out. He didn't playing this game, but I
get shut out. Lost there throw back to the leather
helmet era of the NFL. And he said, I'm out.
I'm good, see you later, suckers. Let me find a
contender before I completely fade the black. I got to
(13:25):
get out of here. And the Vikings agree. They told them,
he yeah, Adam, go ahead, thanks for the memories. Don't
let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.
And that's it. So Steelan we call this the shady move.
It's the shady McCoy move. I don't know if you
know who that is Lashawn Shady McCoy who did a
TV show at one point that nobody watched. I don't
(13:47):
know what he's doing now, but Shady McCoy a legacy
Polisher tour, A last Shady McCoy for Adam Thielen. Now, yeah,
you hop on a contender, you play I don't know,
fifteen snaps or something like that, maybe less than that.
You get your little ring that you'll sell on an
auction at Sotheby's at some point. There you pose with
(14:08):
the ring on Instagram and there you go, and you
make it seem like you're Jerry Rice or something like
that in his prime, because you want the bling bling.
It's all about the bling link. So the Malor wheel
of speculation, the Malor wheel of speculators, never all round
and round for Adam Feelin Malor wheel of speculation, big money,
big money. Stop. Here we go, Buffalo, Here we go, Buffalo.
(14:32):
And you got the terrible towels and the Carolina Cats.
That's it, that's all Buffalo. They need receipt they just added,
they just added a guy that can't play in Cook's brand,
and so say you got another one, right, And they're
collecting these washed up wide receivers in Buffalo and just
(14:54):
need them to be on the roster and they can
run around like roombus out there. And then Pittsburgh. We'll
talk more about this later, but Aaron Rodgers story that
still has legs Rogers unloading on the wide receiver room
there and so they don't know what they're doing and
they've been scolded by Aaron Rodgers for mental mistakes. So
(15:15):
she got that in Carolina. The comedy on that one
writes itself. So they Carolina traded him. Now Minnesota's fired him,
Adam Feelin, and they could bring him back like an
Amazon return, it says, like an Amazon return. So Feeling's
not trying to he's not trying to save anyone season.
(15:37):
He's not that good. He's just trying to get some
nice photos for the scrapbook and a nice trinket for
the retirement celebration. One last shot. This happens more in
basketball than football. A lot of guys in basketball have
chased rings and it's like, well you win, but it's
not quite the same deal, but you get one. It's
(15:59):
like not normal football activity. Not normal football activity. A
right last word to the former player Land we're often
injured now, cliche Field sportscaster JJ Watt is not not
buying into all the chatter about NFL referees must be
(16:20):
full time. They've got to be full time. That'll fix everything,
everything at all that's wrong in the NFL full time referece. Well,
he said no, he said no. That he was asked
about that on the Socials JJ Watt and whether it's
a good time to revisit the full time referee argument
which has been going on. Watt pushed back on that.
(16:42):
He pointed out that the human element is a big
part of this, which is a correct point. So JJ
Watt pushing back on the full time NFL referee argument
fixing the issues? Does this make sense to you? So
after a minute it is long Mallard deliberation. Yes, I
actually think jj Watt nailed it dead center of the
(17:05):
bull's eye. For JJ Watt, the idea that making referees
full time magically fixes everything is vercocta is what it is, right,
It's a fugazy it's nonsense, just like baseball thinks that
using AI eventually will fix the umpire and well though
(17:25):
someone's going to have to program it, someone's gonna have
to monitor it. There'll be some glitches and some thing
of a jigs and watch your mccaus to go wrong.
But in terms of the NFL issue making officials full time,
it's it's unnecessary. You could totally do it. It'll make
people feel better, and it's all other full time this
is it, okay, uh yeah uh, But the problem is
(17:47):
they're not like they're humans. They're not laptops. You can't
just reboot them. That's the problem there. And the flesh
and blood zebras is what they are. And humans. I
don't know if you heard about this. Humans f up,
Humans screw up. It's part of the human condition. It's
the malar law of the jungle. If it can be botched, Okay,
(18:08):
eventually someone will botch it. It's the law of the jungle.
And you could lock every official into a film room
for ten to twelve hours a day, three hundred and
sixty five days a year, no holidays off and spoiler alert,
spoiler alert, they'd still miss a holding penalty. They'd still
(18:31):
screw up a defensive pass interference penalty. They'dlef that up.
And here's why, Because half half the NFL rule book
is subjective versus objective, meaning belief versus fact. There's a
lot of shades of gray, more than fifty shades of
gray when it comes to the officiating. And if you're
(18:53):
one of these, you must call every penalty you want,
every little tug, call the penalty. And I know people like,
is that? Friends of mine? They're like, fine, okay, that's good.
Everyfing game will be six and a half hours, there'll
be seventy four penalties and one hundred and forty replays.
Is that what you want you do? Okay? I hope
(19:14):
you get it. Loser. I hope you get that, you loser,
because you're a loser. All right. You gotta let the
game breathe. You gotta let the game breathe, but not
too much. Right, there's this sweet spot, it really it's
a sweet spot. And the full time crowd, the group
with their torches and their pitchfors. We need full time
the nerdost colony, if you will, of football sikos. They
(19:39):
want one hundred percent accuracy and newslash. It's never going
to happen. You're never going to get one hundred percent accuracy.
Not gonna happen, and not with humans, not even with robots. Okay,
football is not math, it is chaos. And it's the
old argument. We may all time this letter of the
law versus the spirit of the law. The NFL survives
(20:01):
on the spirit of the rule book, not the letter
of the rule book. And so jj Watt again to
mark this full circle is correct that the fixing of
the refs is not a job title or full time
part time situation. It is a reality problem. It is
the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to be part,
we have a bit. I see him online. His phone
(20:24):
is working here Our friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida, better

a He was a rotational player in the NBA. And
then when the Weed licenses came out, he got one
of the early ones. He made. He made more money
the first year doing that than he made ten years
(31:38):
playing in the NBA. Wow, Because the early on the
licenses were very hard to get and you were like
one of the first people to get him, and everyone
was buying the product. And even with all the taxes

Hello Christopher.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
I'm holding mister Maller right, and I have to inquire
with weed Man. Seed Man, are you willing to relocate
outside of the country like I've done, because, believe me,
there's so many opportunities over here to enjoy the great
spirit of weed. Just think, aw if you were in Amsterdam,
just think about it. Just the opportunity the women.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I'm sorry, did I say that.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
I didn't think, Wow, opportunity Alterdam would be great.
Speaker 4 (33:17):

I do, yes, I mean, but I mean it's only
it's only an hour and ten minutes flight from uh
British Airways into right into the heart.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
How much does it cost? How much does it cost
to fly from London to Amsterdam?
Speaker 8 (33:37):
One hundred and ten pounds round tripp so that would
be around one hundred and twenty five dollars. But the
man from from Miami to London.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
That's about a thousand dollars. So we'll work on now.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
And Amsterdam like all drugs, legal.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Knows well, I will the air.
Speaker 8 (33:59):
We want to make sure that we protect mister Mallin.
Speaker 1 (34:01):

You do whatever you want.

on with the Billy a K. Weed Man?
Speaker 8 (35:02):
Right on?
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
I have a couple of questions. Uh, yeah, I prefer
the bong? Or do you like that joint?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
What is it that you're working?
Speaker 8 (35:13):
Pipe?
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I have the pipe?
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Pipe?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
There you go. He's a pipe guy.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Are you communicating through your pipe or a suck?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
I'm just imagine it's a great that's a great question,
we man. Is there some kind of secret language that
you use?
Speaker 8 (35:30):
Really?
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Is there a tool that you speak into that that
changes your voice?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Weed Man? Could you next time? Next time? They get
a new Pope. Could you go over there and blow
the smoke for the pope to let them know that
the pope isn't that the decision? The decision is in.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
One more question, one more question from uh? From from myself?
I like I prefer the bong by the way. But
let's see Woodstock. Well, if you went there? Did you
go there? And what was the most interesting thing?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
That's a great question we met. That was I would
love to be.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Years old.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
You could not go? All right, thank you, Mike did
not go to Woodstock unfortunately, all right. Last one, Joe
the Ghost under says, did weed Man get harassed more
when he was homeless by the cops or a bunch
of karens.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
By the cops used to go to jail all time?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I know, we we where's weed Man? He's in jail again.
We'd look you up in your photo. Your mugshot would
be online. Yeah, yeah, that was terrible. Well, Matt, Matt
the may he rest in peace. Matt the Warrior Raider
A's Tom Brady rose fan. He passed away last year.
But he was really good at finding you online, and
he'd always be our No, seriously, we'd be like we
(36:43):
is we man, Okay, we don't know where he is.
His phone's not working. And then and then he would
look you up and then boom, all right, well, thank
you weed man, fun as always, I love you. All right,

Speaker 1 (40:16):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (40:16):
To the third degree, this is one big fan gets
grilled cool.
Speaker 9 (40:24):
After the Buccaneers ended their three game losing streak on Sunday,
Baker Mayfield said the team is quote very very close
to where they want to be on offense. Ben, do
you think that with Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin back
and playing well, that Tampa can return to being the
playoff threat that they seem to be early on? Well?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yes, but only because of the division that they're in.
You need a hazmad suit in that division. Sants are horrific,
Atlanta blows, they're gonna fire their coaching staff there, and
Carolina's got some some wings, but nobody takes them seriously.
Someone's going to win that division. Tampa baysed in good
shape to win that. It's a dead man zone, so
(40:59):
by location.
Speaker 9 (41:00):
Yes, next few weeks ago, it seemed like the Colts
could run away with the AFC South. Not only have
the Jets taken over first place, but the Texans are
right on both of their heels. What do you think
comes out ahead in the end the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Well, I love the Texans defense, and so I'm going
I don't believe in CJ. Strapp, but I don't believe
in Trevor Lawrence either, so uh and certainly Daniel Jones.
I would say the top unit is the defensive unit
of the Texans. So if you're gonna put your money
on one of those teams, I would take the Houston
Texans next.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
Dan Orlovsky said an a post on x Monday.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
We'll stop right if dan Orlovsky said something. If dan
Orlovsky go ahead. Uh, he said.
Speaker 9 (41:35):
The Miami Dolphins are a dangerous football team right now.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Dangerous.
Speaker 9 (41:39):
Have totally transformed their offensive identity.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Oh stop, is any of that believable? Yes, here's how
they've done that. They played the Let's Go, the Atlanta Falcons,
the Commanders, and the Saints in this. Come on, I
don't buy it. It's nonsense. How do we do? Kopolo
passes that I won the game.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Jed who
Speaker 7 (42:00):
Again?
The greatness of the Ben Maler Show. It's our Numbbird two,
our number two, and the once proud Raiders the laughingstock
of pro football. They blow And a former Raider coach
and Tony O. Pierce says the Raiders may need decades
to fix because of the dysfunction in Vegas. Your thoughts
(00:24):
on that? Also, what do you make of Adam Thielen
asking for and receiving his pink slip from the Vikings
as he was let go and now is free to
roam around the NFL to find a new job. And
JJ Watt pushing back on full time NFL referee status,
He says, I don't know about that. That argument fixing
(00:44):
the issues? Does this make sense to you? Will go
there as well? And also ask a weed man, our
friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida. He spent years on the
mean streets of Miami and he's here to answer all
of life's hard questions. That's all part of our Number
two and it's yours right now. From the Silver and
(01:04):
Black to the Silver and Black. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:14):

we have the plate pleaser for you coast to coast, border.

So our lead this hour will circle back later on
to the Monday Night beat down as the Patriots get
(02:30):
another win and they're sitting pretty in the catbird seat
in the American Football Conference, the first team to eleven wins.
But our lead this hour is from Sin City, because
bad football makes for good talk radio. The fallout from
the flop, the floppy mcflop that is the Raiders. So
former Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, remember, this guy was born
(02:55):
to be a Raider and had the whole marketing campaign
and the fan base fell in love with him and
lasted just a full season and then it was turn
out the last the parties over. So he did an
interview this week, and it's about who cares what he
has to say. Well, I thought this was interesting, and
I have the key to the microphone. So here I
(03:18):
am so Antonio Piers. It says he said, not I
said he said. Antonio Pierce said that he doesn't think
the Raiders bad mojo will be solved anytime soon. So
if you didn't see this, perhaps not. Pierce says that
if the Raiders continue to go the way they're going,
and certainly they've gone down that path of this season,
(03:40):
he says they might need decades decades to fix this
bad boy. That's a quote. They might need decades to
fix this bad boy, Pierce said during a TV appearance
at AP as his friends call him, talked about the
one and done changes as the race have handed out
(04:02):
pink slips to two of the three coordinators. The special
teams coach got whacked, the offensive coordinator was molly whacked,
and the offensive coordinator he's gone, as I said, Chip Kelly.
The defensive coordinator has not been curb stomp yet, but
only because it's Pete Carroll's like pretty much doing everything
(04:22):
on defense. So that's where we are right now, he says,
everyone is. Antonio Pierce said, everyone's pointing fingers, but at
some point there has to be a thumb pointing back.
Offered that before. I've heard that before, all right, So
that is a good jumping off point. So let us
discuss the question. Former NFL head coach Antonio Pierce says,
(04:42):
the Raiders may need decades decades to fix because of
the dysfunction in the building. Your thoughts. So, I've got
mashed potatoes, boarding pass, and law of the jungle, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
(05:05):
are going to make some delicious kettle corn is what
we're going to make. So a let's start here. Antonio
Piers did not just light a match. He lit a
Molotov cocktail.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And loved it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
He loved the Molotov cocktail right into the silver and
black circus tent right Thearren Henderson at that big Raider
facility there. You know what, no lies detected, No lies detected.
This is a fresh wound. It's an open wound. It
is not scabbed over for Antonio Peers and he said, well,
(05:40):
it's just a disgrutal former employee. But is he wrong?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Is he wrong?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah? If you look at what Pierce did, and he said,
well he wasn't that good at coach. Okay, what about
the fossilized Pete Carroll, Good old Pete positive, Pete positively
sucks as Raider coach. Look at the slop they've trotted
out on the field and Pierce. If you do a
side by side between Antonio Pierce and Pete Carroll, Antonio
(06:10):
Pierce is looking more and more like a young John
Madden reincarnated with a clipboard and a boom mic my god.
Compared to the Raiders season this year, I saw the
Raiders in person. They're an embarrassedment. Gino Smith should not
even be in the NFL. He's that bad. The guy
just sucks. He's so terrible it's wild. And the fact
(06:30):
that Antonio Pierce did better with Gardner Minshew and Aidan
O'Connell last season. Now, I get that Pierce was going
for shock value, the shock and awe with the quote.
But sometimes the truth is the shock, Like that's the thing, right,
The truth is the shock. That is the thing there.
(06:50):
The dysfunction junction, what's your function that runs through the
entire organization fun our raiders. It runs through the organization
like gravy through mattsh potatoes, like a mashed potato volcano
with gravy everywhere, and standing in the middle of it.
You know, he's standing right in the middle, knee deep
in mashed potatoes and right there with the gravy, the
(07:14):
human traffic code. Mark Davis. Yeah, that guy, the spawn,
the next generation there, spawn OFVL and my god. So
you know, you can always find Mark Davis at the
PF chain's right near the Raider facility there inhaling Kung
pou chicken and making terrible decisions, rolling the dice and
(07:37):
on the craps table. And it comes back snake eyes
every single time. It's snake eyes. You hire normally, what
you do in business is you hire good employees and
get the f out of the way. Whether you're running
a professional sports team, you're running a radio station, a factory,
a trucking business, whatever, it might be. The most important
(08:00):
artist to hire good people and then just let them work.
That's it, right, And if you're an NFL owner, you
just hired a good executive and a smart executive, a
quality head coach, and get out of the way. And
what's going on now? Not in Raiderland, all right? Rat
Mark Davis is the common denominator in most of this run. Now,
(08:22):
Al Davis was actually still around at the beginning of
this debacle, but he was really old, good old Al.
So it goes back twenty three years. That's an entire
generation of face plants for the Raider franchise. And the
Raiders have become Area fifty one, the football version. It's
a mysterious barren, possibly occupied by extraterrestrial and competent land
(08:48):
out there in the Nevada desert. And now you got
pretty boy Tom Brady, Tom Brady, the man that is
the teflon Dawn. I don't see anyone ripping Tom Brady.
We're not part of the mainstream. We're on overnight. The
mainstream media will not go there. They will not go there.
I wonder why that is. I wonder whether the Tom
(09:09):
Brady they're tinkering. He is the GM by proxy of
the Raiders. And let's see he signed off on chip Kelly.
Give chip Kelly the most money of any offensive coordinator.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Check.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Let's hire Pete Carroll. Check Geno Smith the biggest crime
of them all to not only trade for Geno Smith,
to then pay Geno Smith more money. This is a
Vegas residency. The Raiders here of bad decisions and perform
nightly at the Collapse Theater right on the strip. There
(09:44):
the Raider Nation, as it is called. They deserve better.
They deserve better. And you don't see at the raider
charging him a lot of Raider fans. They're older. I
don't see many young Raider fans because they have been
cool in a long time. But they're stuck in this
barren wasteland, the Raiders of rubble and minefields and abandoned
trenches of what used to be the Raiders decades that
(10:08):
twenty years, twenty years, I mean, my guy so and
Antonio pissed the way things have gone the last couple
of years of the Raiders things. Actually, he might be
optimistic to say that twenty years is all it's going
to take all right. Now to Minnesota, we go a
roster move. Did the Vikings actually add a quarterback that
knows how to throat? No, Instead, they fired franchise icon
(10:30):
Adam Feelin bye bye one day after he was a
healthy scratch, which is what you don't want to be.
He was a healthy scratch and the shutout loss to
the Seattle football team, Adam Feelin turns out he wanted
to be fired. That's how bad the Vikings are. Franchise
legend would rather go to the unemployment line than finish
(10:53):
the year in the purple of the Minnesota Vikings. It's crazy,
absolutely crazy. And the Vikings traded for this guy from Caroline.
They traded some Day three draft picks, but who cares
about that, But they traded for the guy to add
to the roster so he could retire as a Minnesota
Viking and finish the year on the Vikings of the
Vikings are so bad that this guy's I don't want
(11:15):
to be here. I gotta leave, and so they asked
for the release. The decision was made. It ends the
second and final stint with the Purple People leaders for
Adam Thielen, his hometown team, and now he's gone there.
He ranks third in career touchdown catches. I'm told that's good.
Fourth in receptions. I'm also told that's good, and fifth
(11:37):
in receiving yards, which I also have heard is pretty
good for the Minnesota Viking now, he said in a
prepared statement posted on the social media, which likely he
had nothing to do with. Adam Feelin said that he
long ago decided that this would be his final season
and he wanted to go to a new place, go
compete somewhere else. He said, they want to go compete
(11:58):
somewhere else the last few weeks of my career. Question,
here's the question, what do you make of Adam Thielnd
asking for and receiving the pink slip the release from
the Minnesota Vikings. So let's just call this what this is.
Adam Thielen is ring chasing. In fact, right now, he's
(12:20):
sprinting through the terminal B at the Minneapolis Saint Paul
International Airport there trying to find his boarding pass to
catch a flight to Glorytown. He wants to go, not
Glory Hole. That's where Jerry Jones goes. Jerry goes to
Glory Hole. No, No, no, he wants Adam Thielen wants
to go to Glorytown, which is a different town. It's
(12:41):
the next town over. Well, no, this is Glorytown. This
is this is a little different here. But this is
not complicated. It's it's not the Vikings are admitting. He's
we suck and there is no chance. We have no future. Okay,
we like you. We are going to let you go.
That's what this is. And he saw the Viking office.
The other thing about this is Stealen came over from Carolina.
(13:03):
He saw the Vikings offense. The headless horseman. No quarterback
got shut out. He didn't playing this game, but I
get shut out. Lost there throw back to the leather
helmet era of the NFL. And he said, I'm out.
I'm good, see you later, suckers. Let me find a
contender before I completely fade the black. I got to
(13:25):
get out of here. And the Vikings agree. They told them,
he yeah, Adam, go ahead, thanks for the memories. Don't
let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.
And that's it. So Steelan we call this the shady move.
It's the shady McCoy move. I don't know if you
know who that is Lashawn Shady McCoy who did a
TV show at one point that nobody watched. I don't
(13:47):
know what he's doing now, but Shady McCoy a legacy
Polisher tour, A last Shady McCoy for Adam Thielen. Now, yeah,
you hop on a contender, you play I don't know,
fifteen snaps or something like that, maybe less than that.
You get your little ring that you'll sell on an
auction at Sotheby's at some point. There you pose with
(14:08):
the ring on Instagram and there you go, and you
make it seem like you're Jerry Rice or something like
that in his prime, because you want the bling bling.
It's all about the bling link. So the Malor wheel
of speculation, the Malor wheel of speculators, never all round
and round for Adam Feelin Malor wheel of speculation, big money,
big money. Stop. Here we go, Buffalo, Here we go, Buffalo.
(14:32):
And you got the terrible towels and the Carolina Cats.
That's it, that's all Buffalo. They need receipt they just added,
they just added a guy that can't play in Cook's brand,
and so say you got another one, right, And they're
collecting these washed up wide receivers in Buffalo and just
(14:54):
need them to be on the roster and they can
run around like roombus out there. And then Pittsburgh. We'll
talk more about this later, but Aaron Rodgers story that
still has legs Rogers unloading on the wide receiver room
there and so they don't know what they're doing and
they've been scolded by Aaron Rodgers for mental mistakes. So
(15:15):
she got that in Carolina. The comedy on that one
writes itself. So they Carolina traded him. Now Minnesota's fired him,
Adam Feelin, and they could bring him back like an
Amazon return, it says, like an Amazon return. So Feeling's
not trying to he's not trying to save anyone season.
(15:37):
He's not that good. He's just trying to get some
nice photos for the scrapbook and a nice trinket for
the retirement celebration. One last shot. This happens more in
basketball than football. A lot of guys in basketball have
chased rings and it's like, well you win, but it's
not quite the same deal, but you get one. It's
(15:59):
like not normal football activity. Not normal football activity. A
right last word to the former player Land we're often
injured now, cliche Field sportscaster JJ Watt is not not
buying into all the chatter about NFL referees must be
(16:20):
full time. They've got to be full time. That'll fix everything,
everything at all that's wrong in the NFL full time referece. Well,
he said no, he said no. That he was asked
about that on the Socials JJ Watt and whether it's
a good time to revisit the full time referee argument
which has been going on. Watt pushed back on that.
(16:42):
He pointed out that the human element is a big
part of this, which is a correct point. So JJ
Watt pushing back on the full time NFL referee argument
fixing the issues? Does this make sense to you? So
after a minute it is long Mallard deliberation. Yes, I
actually think jj Watt nailed it dead center of the
(17:05):
bull's eye. For JJ Watt, the idea that making referees
full time magically fixes everything is vercocta is what it is, right,
It's a fugazy it's nonsense, just like baseball thinks that
using AI eventually will fix the umpire and well though
(17:25):
someone's going to have to program it, someone's gonna have
to monitor it. There'll be some glitches and some thing
of a jigs and watch your mccaus to go wrong.
But in terms of the NFL issue making officials full time,
it's it's unnecessary. You could totally do it. It'll make
people feel better, and it's all other full time this
is it, okay, uh yeah uh, But the problem is
(17:47):
they're not like they're humans. They're not laptops. You can't
just reboot them. That's the problem there. And the flesh
and blood zebras is what they are. And humans. I
don't know if you heard about this. Humans f up,
Humans screw up. It's part of the human condition. It's
the malar law of the jungle. If it can be botched, Okay,
(18:08):
eventually someone will botch it. It's the law of the jungle.
And you could lock every official into a film room
for ten to twelve hours a day, three hundred and
sixty five days a year, no holidays off and spoiler alert,
spoiler alert, they'd still miss a holding penalty. They'd still
(18:31):
screw up a defensive pass interference penalty. They'dlef that up.
And here's why, Because half half the NFL rule book
is subjective versus objective, meaning belief versus fact. There's a
lot of shades of gray, more than fifty shades of
gray when it comes to the officiating. And if you're
(18:53):
one of these, you must call every penalty you want,
every little tug, call the penalty. And I know people like,
is that? Friends of mine? They're like, fine, okay, that's good.
Everyfing game will be six and a half hours, there'll
be seventy four penalties and one hundred and forty replays.
Is that what you want you do? Okay? I hope
(19:14):
you get it. Loser. I hope you get that, you loser,
because you're a loser. All right. You gotta let the
game breathe. You gotta let the game breathe, but not
too much. Right, there's this sweet spot, it really it's
a sweet spot. And the full time crowd, the group
with their torches and their pitchfors. We need full time
the nerdost colony, if you will, of football sikos. They
(19:39):
want one hundred percent accuracy and newslash. It's never going
to happen. You're never going to get one hundred percent accuracy.
Not gonna happen, and not with humans, not even with robots. Okay,
football is not math, it is chaos. And it's the
old argument. We may all time this letter of the
law versus the spirit of the law. The NFL survives
(20:01):
on the spirit of the rule book, not the letter
of the rule book. And so jj Watt again to
mark this full circle is correct that the fixing of
the refs is not a job title or full time
part time situation. It is a reality problem. It is
the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to be part,
we have a bit. I see him online. His phone
(20:24):

British Airways into right into the heart.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
How much does it cost? How much does it cost

and here it is. New England's Marcus Jones became the
eighth player with two plus punt return touchdowns and at
least one pick six in the same season at a

To the third degree, this is one big fan gets
grilled cool.
Speaker 9 (40:24):
After the Buccaneers ended their three game losing streak on Sunday,
Baker Mayfield said the team is quote very very close
to where they want to be on offense. Ben, do
you think that with Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin back
and playing well, that Tampa can return to being the
playoff threat that they seem to be early on? Well?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yes, but only because of the division that they're in.
You need a hazmad suit in that division. Sants are horrific,
Atlanta blows, they're gonna fire their coaching staff there, and
Carolina's got some some wings, but nobody takes them seriously.
Someone's going to win that division. Tampa baysed in good
shape to win that. It's a dead man zone, so
(40:59):
by location.
Speaker 9 (41:00):
Yes, next few weeks ago, it seemed like the Colts
could run away with the AFC South. Not only have
the Jets taken over first place, but the Texans are
right on both of their heels. What do you think
comes out ahead in the end the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Well, I love the Texans defense, and so I'm going
I don't believe in CJ. Strapp, but I don't believe
in Trevor Lawrence either, so uh and certainly Daniel Jones.
I would say the top unit is the defensive unit
of the Texans. So if you're gonna put your money
on one of those teams, I would take the Houston
Texans next.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
Dan Orlovsky said an a post on x Monday.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
We'll stop right if dan Orlovsky said something. If dan
Orlovsky go ahead. Uh, he said.
Speaker 9 (41:35):
The Miami Dolphins are a dangerous football team right now.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Dangerous.
Speaker 9 (41:39):
Have totally transformed their offensive identity.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Oh stop, is any of that believable? Yes, here's how
they've done that. They played the Let's Go, the Atlanta Falcons,
the Commanders, and the Saints in this. Come on, I
don't buy it. It's nonsense. How do we do? Kopolo
passes that I won the game.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
