Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our number to our number two.
How new you knew? And our number two? And who's
most to blame for Andy Reid's Chiefs missing the playoffs?
They have been decommissioned from the postseason tournament. Is Chiefs
coach Andy Reid in danger of being whacked? Is he

(00:22):
allowed to have one bad year? We'll take a look
at that. And what does this do? What does this
do for the Taylor Swift fueled NFL conspiracy theories that
have been going on for several years. The games are rigged.
The NFL wants Mahomes and the Chiefs with Taylor, Swift
and Kelsey to win the Super Bowl year after year.

(00:43):
We'll take a look at that as well. All of
it's coming your way right now here. It is our
number two. All great things come to an end, even
bad things come to an end. In the case of
the NFL championship run, in order to win the championship,
you got to make the playoffs. Otherwise you got some

(01:05):
explaining to do, which the Chiefs do well. Come in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air, ev rewares, we are in
cahoots and we serve up mouth watering takes like Latcus.

(01:27):
They're so good. Coast, the coast, border, the border, and
beyond on the vast and nourishingly powerful microphones of fsre

famous Fox Sports radio studios where magic happens. And Angie

(01:48):

Tire act dot Com the way tire buying should be.
And I see that Robbie, the Mariner fan is barking
at me. He says, Hey, can you tell me about
haley On. Yes, Robbie, I will tell you about haley On.
Every goal starts with an assist on and off the field.
That's why haley On and US Soccer are launching for
the Assist, the celebration of everyday acts of support that
help people achieve their goals with iconic brands like Cincinnine, Tom's,

at me. He says, can you tell me about Draftings? Well,
of course, show. All you have to do is ask Justin.

that's promo code Malord. At DraftKings, the crown is yours.
As John Sterling, the voice of the Yankees, taught me
back in the day, you got to sell the soap.
We've sold a lot of soap. But let's talk some sports.
Let's go to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. And I'm

(03:19):
so happy that this happened this year and not last year,
because I would have been blamed, you know, it, making
all about me. I was able to go to Arrowhead.
I saw the Chiefs last year last November against the Broncos.
One of the craziest games I've ever been at. That
was the game the Broncos had the game winning field
goal blocked and the Chiefs won, and they end up
going to the Super Bowl before they fell apart, and

(03:41):
the hangover has continued. So Kansas City playing host to
the Chargers in an AFC West brew ha ha in
this key game for Kansas City, stand alive, stand alive
taking on the Chargers. I don't know if you watch
the game or not. Now, if you had Kansas City
winning this game and staying alive in the playoff race

(04:03):
in the AFC, you are a big fat loser. You're
a loser. As the Chargers said, turn out the last
the parties over, they eliminate Kansas City from playoff contention.
They are d e A D debt dead debt. Derwin

(04:27):
James picking off a pass from Gardner Minshew. Yes, Gardner Minshew,
number seventeen in your program, but number ninety nine in
your heart. Gardner Minshew was in there. He had taken
over for an injured Patrick Mahomes. As we mentioned earlier
in this program, Mahomes done for the season. He was
injured late. The game was already over pretty much at

(04:47):
that point, closing seconds, and so Kensa City goes down
Chargers get a win. They won by three, and the
reigning AFC champions are no more as they have been
exterminated and decommissioned from the playoffs. Justin Herbert, he had
two uttered ten yards, modest numbers, and so the quarterback

(05:10):
apologist will say he's had, he's hard. What's long with?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Okay, fine? Two uttered ten yards and a touchdown for
the team from SoCal. The Chargers get to ten wins,
ten and four consecutive ten win seasons for the first
time since they were the old San Diego Chargers. Show
me your lightning bolt way back in six o seven.

(05:33):
My god, So the rare season sweep, very rare season
sweep for the Chargers over the Chiefs. The story here, though,
is clearly in the loser's locker room. This is a
pivot point, is it not? At least it feels like
a pivot point that here we are. The Chiefs have
been eliminated. They have been ex communicated from the NFL

(05:57):
postseason after all of these years, first time in ten years,
ten years, the Chiefs will not be hanging out in
playoff football, no wild card game. You don't have to
worry about the AFC championship game. You don't have to
worry about going to the super Bowl in San Francisco,
although I imagine many of those guys will go out
there to sell all the crap they're trying to sell

(06:19):
you on radio row. That's usually what happens. But let
us discuss the question, and we're gonna get into this
right now. We're gonna focus on Andy Reid, all right.
So the question is who who gets most of the
blame for Andy Reid's chiefs missing the plauffs. Who's most
to blame for Andy Reid's chiefs missing the playff So

(06:39):
I've got sewing machine, swamp water, and Applebee's and we
will combine all of these things together and we will
punch you right in your intestines, is what we're gonna do.
So before we get into this, let's hear from Andy Reid.
Everyone's very concerned about the morale, the morale of Kansas City.

(07:01):
Here's it what Andy Reid had to say on that topic.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Oh yeah, guys are down the bust of their but
to win the game, you know, and I wouldn't expect
anything less, So you know, it's not a great feeling.
I wouldn't expect it to be after losing a game?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Okay, was anyone expecting any other feeling? They think they
were gonna have like a Chuck E Cheese party, go down,
play some ski ball or something like that, Like what
are they gonna do? So, as far as who's most
to blame for the Chiefs missing the playoff under Andy Reid,
number one, let's start at the very top. The snake
rots from the head down. Let's start with mahomes magic.

(07:42):
It went poof, Oh my god, you can't say that. Yeah,
you can absolutely say he ends the year in the
injury tent, which is a bummer. However, let's not let
that cloud the reality of the situation. You watch the
NFL this year, long before Mahomes suffered the season ending injury,
Patrick Mahomes went to the candy shop and he ordered

(08:06):
fun dip. Except it wasn't so fun. The fun Dip
wasn't fun. Normally, Mahomes has been a wizard, the wizard
of Arrowhead and under pressure pulling rabbits out of the
helmet and this guy's magic wand and all that. And
this year he turned on the sewing machine and he

(08:27):
stitched together a bunch of overthrows and bad wreaths and
ill timed giveaways and passes bouncing off receivers hands and
helmets and all that stuff. And on the deep ball
for Mahomes, it has been the Rocky Mountain horror show,
is what it's been here. And more picks than touchdowns

(08:48):
for Mahomes, barely completing a third of those deep passes
for the Kansas City Chiefs offense. Now, is he still
an elite player? Sure? Has he had an elite season? No,
he did not have an elite season, and a lot
of butter fingers around him. Butter fingers, a lot of
butterfingers at the worst possible moments, which is part of
the story. And he didn't get much help. But ultimately

(09:12):
a lot of that is on Mahomes, though also for
not there were some terrible games, he said the last
month here, as things continued to go the wrong direction.
You also have to point out the drops were often
drive killers. They were Rashie Rice. I hope he is
better now at the driving than he was before, because

(09:32):
he's not very good at football these days. My god,
Travis Kelsey, who's thirty six, I believe he moves like
a cell phone maybe older than that now, like a
cell phone on low power, like the you know, the
batteries kind of low and it says, all right, you
plug your phone in. You got ten percent power. And
he caught passes the way you'd expect a podcast, like

(09:55):
if you put Joe Rogan out there and said, hey, Joe,
catch some passes. Okay, Joe would catch passes the way
Travis Kelsey caught passes a lot of bricks brick house
like the combodoor's there no separation, no vertical threat at all.
The front office. Now, the other indictment here is on
the chiefs front office, like they just assume we're gonna
get some guys back, and you know what happens when

(10:16):
you assume, and we'll be okay, everything'll be fine there.
And they sat on their hands at the trade deadline.
They refused to give up any draft picks to try
to complete the roster. They just kind of waited. It
was like it's like, well, we're out of samples at Costco.
Let's wait until they fill up the sample trade. Okay,
we'll wait. Well they never did. They went home. The
people that put the samples out their day was done

(10:38):
that was it, and so you look at everything. Yeah,
the defense, Chris Jones keeping up with the Joneses. If
there's one moment to me that sums up this entire
season for the Chiefs, it was the game against Jacksonville
was I believe a Monday night game, and you remember
Trevor Lawrence fell down a couple of times and Chris Jones,

(11:02):
mister all everything, defensive, star face of the franchise. His effort,
his lack of hustle was next level and just caught
on tape and then got all defensive about it and
all that. Like that kind of sums up this season,
just like the offense had the thing of the jigs
that weren't working, the watching mc collegs. But the defense,

(11:26):
the numbers weren't terrible, but then there were these little
things like they couldn't get the do hickey to work,
and it was just a big It was a big mess.
Bottom third and sacks, bottom third and pressures third down
stops were not great for the Chiefs defense, and they
couldn't get off the field. Often when they needed to
get off the field, they couldn't get off the field.
So the malor math, if you knew the male of

(11:47):
math crunched the numbers on the Chiefs. Here it's shared blame,
which is never fun. But the buck ultimately does stop
with Mahomes because he's he was able to elevate the
players around him, and this year he did not elevate
the player around him on offense, and the defense wasn't
good enough to pick up the slack. And now they
find themselves watching the playoffs when that comes around here

(12:10):
in January? All right, now, page two, So continuing the
theme of the hour, the theme of the hour, the
question here is Chiefs coach Andy Reid big red. Is
Andy Reid in danger of being whacked? Is he going
to be collateral damage from the Chiefs being failures this year,

(12:31):
not even making the playoffs? So in terms of Andy
Reid being in danger, is he about to get fired?

Speaker 4 (12:37):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Is he in stranger danger? I'm nodding my head. Yes,
I'm gonna nod my head. Yes. On Andy Reid, I
don't see him being fired. He was like, you get
out of here. However, the massage goodbye, I call it
the massage. Whether he's finesse, you know what I'm talking about?
Like this whole thing smells right, now. And it doesn't

(12:59):
smell like the it's just barbecue at the tailgated Arrowhead.
It doesn't smell like that. It's musty, it's funky, and
it's kind of like the equipment. If you've ever been
around hockey, the goalies equipment smells like ass just horrible
or I guess, any gym bag, any gym bag on
a hot, hot day, you know, sitting out there in

(13:21):
the sun during the summer, just smells really gnarly, bad
and terrible. And Andy Reid you talking about Mahomes being
the wizard of Arrowhead. Well, Andy Reid was the maestro
of offensive play calling and this season the Chiefs attack
it looked like his spell book. The spellbook for Andy
Reid was soaked in swamp water and the pages were

(13:41):
sticking together. There was no real creativity, just kind of
reheated leftovers, and it wasn't working. And so and this
didn't just pop up one overnight for the Chiefs. This
has been festering. You remember last year in the second
half there were some signs that things were not going well,
and then it bottomed out in the Super Bowl when

(14:03):
the Chiefs got smoked by the Philadelphia Eagles. And so
Big Red was unable to find the source of the mildew,
couldn't find it. And Mahomes, as good as Mahomes has
been this year, he could not find a can of
fabreeze big enough to take care of the flatulence in

(14:25):
the phone booth that was taking place here. And normally
you get a mulligan when you're a legend, We're gonna
give that person a mulligan. They're a legend of the game.
That the whispers out of Kansas City are that there
are some factions saying it's time to make a change,
and it's the perfect time now with Mahomes being hurt,
cause you bring in a new coach, you let them

(14:47):
settle in. There'll be no expectations for the chiefs. Kelsey's
going to retire, Mahomes will be out at least probably
half the year. Next year. You bring a new coaching
staff in, they don't have any real pressure on them.
They go in there kind of set up their own thing.
And these are grassroots whispers, is what they are. You know,
pitchforks padded in bubble wrap, if you will, and all

(15:10):
that stuff, and people going to lean into the age game.
We saw what happened with Pete. Pete Carroll was not
fired by the Seattle Seahawks, although he was fired, they
just made it seem like he left to take an
advisor's role. We know that's bull crap because he immediately
came back to coach the Raiders, if you want to
call what he's doing coaching the Raiders. And so it'd
be like, well, Andy Reids, old, let's just send grandpa

(15:31):
to the retirement home at midnight when no one's looking,
and I just can watch. My advice now is to
watch for leaks, watch for the league source behind a
paywall on the athletic watch for someone connected to Maholmes
questioning Andy Reid, and useful idiots in the media pushing

(15:55):
the Andy slipping stories in the media that he's not
doing this right and he's screw this thing up. And
then the Mahomes needs a new voice. As we said,
and you read the saving grace for Andy Reid. There
is a saving grace is there are no obvious replacements.
It's just no obvious name. They say, Okay, we get

(16:16):
that guy, and we're gold. The only one that would
make a little bit of sense would be Cliff Kingsbury,
who's the OC of the Washington Commanders, and he coached
Mahomes in college at Texas Tech. And there's a guy,
how about Cliff Kingsbury was a hot he was hot,
hot to trot. Last year Washington got to the final

(16:36):
four in the NFL playoffs, and then he didn't take
a head coaching jobs are arrogant. He didn't like the
jobs that were open. And now you think anyone's gonna
go out of the way to hire Cliff Kingsbury after
the Washington offense tank this year. Come on, he had
a chance and he said it out. But that would
be the only one Arrowhead Mahomes Cliff Kingsbury. There's a
connection there. And so unless he leaves the Beltway and

(17:00):
heads over and with a whiteboard in hand and drop
plays for Patrick Mahomes the loyalty so that the malord
math on Andy Reid, he's in the danger zone. The
good news is there's no one who's really stepping up.
You're like, oh, that guy's gonna get the job, all right.
Final point now to the pop star in the corner

(17:22):
of the room. Question, what does the storyline of the
Chiefs being eliminated from playoff considerations. What does this do
for the Taylor Swift fueled NFL conspiracy theories that have
been going around for several years. So I'll address this.

(17:43):
This is the snuffleophagus in the room.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
It is.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
This is what happens when a conspiracy theory runs out
of auxygen. There's no more auction here the Taylor Swift
fueled NFL rigging crowd. Can we do a wellness check
on them? Are they doing okay? Are they quietly right now?
They're slipping out the emergency exit at the Applebee's and

(18:08):
they don't want to pay the check. They're like, I
was just gonna get out of Apple's. We go through
the emergency exit. We're not paying the check. That's it.
For years, those that partake not farmer John, Their engagement
farmers is what they are. They're doing engagement farming. And
they've got their tinfoil sombreros on and they swore up
and down on the Holy Bible that the NFL was

(18:30):
greasing the skids, that it was all a rig deal
for Kansas City. It was the Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift romance.
It was the Golden Boy. Patrick Mahomes a scripted love story.
And if it was a scripted love story, wouldn't it
end with the Super Bowl confetti in the air everywhere,

(18:50):
drippling down, down, down, down down confetti, just like that
February retirement. Then sometime in the spring wedding vibes with
the biggest wedding in America in many, many years. There
instead Travis Kelsey couldn't I guess we could say couldn't
shake it off. He was unable to shake it off

(19:11):
this year and it was just a bad year. And
he limped off Arrowhead and with a bit of a
blank space. He had a bit of a blank space
where the magic used to be, and he was kind
of frozen there. And that stench that the Chiefs had
on offense there, you know, it's just bad bad blood.

(19:31):
There's another one bad blood. So did not go well here,
and the wizardry of the Chiefs obviously away, Kelsey's magic gone,
the plot armor ripped away for the conspiracy theory. And
this was not cinema. This was definitely not cinema. It

(19:53):
was a documentary, but not the documentary Taylor Swift's been
in here recently. No refs with Q cards. We didn't
have any that. No Lombardi delivery service on demand. We
didn't get that, just a football boone doggle. It was
a boone doggle. And now Travis Kelce can look at
Taylor Swift and mutter, look what you made me do?

(20:19):
It's another one. By the way, I think that's a
that's a song. Look what you mean it is? Anyway?
All right, So the conspiracy is dead for now. Now
the big story is will Taylor Swift dump Travis Kelsey?
She's a winner, she's only married a loser. Will Taylor
Swift Willy break up before the wedding? And will she
whoever wins the Super Bowl, will she latch onto that

(20:40):
team's tight end. Inquiring minds would like to know, but
I do expect a spin off conspiracy. And here's my
expectation using the Mallard crystal ball. As you know, I
am a distant relative of Nostre Damas friend of Nostradinas.
He lives in Seattle, but not his wife. She's a vegan,

(21:00):
but anyway, she's a nice woman, but she's a big
So the conspiracy theory would be that Taylor Swift wanted
the Chiefs to lose, so her husband to be, Travis Kelsey,
will have more time to plan the wedding, and so
she wanted to make sure and he's healthy relatively speaking,
and all that stuff. So it's worked out well. On
