Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number three, our number three,

reaction to Colts quarterback Philip Rivers crawling out of the
tar pit and back into the NFL as he started
the game at Seattle for Indianapolis. Also, what does this
(00:21):
forty nine ers public statement about wide receiver Brandon iuc
and his status signaled to you Kyle Shanahan throwing some
haymakers and thumbs up or thumbs down? Does Shader Sanders
deserve to be crushed for his play or lack thereof.
For the Browns as they got smoked by the Chicago Bears.
(00:43):
We'll take a look at that as well. Right now,
settle in. It's our number three and it's yours, right now,
get off my law and grandpa. Well come. In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show, we
are in the air vywear as one as one, as
(01:08):
we have a bag of nerves, big bag of nerves,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the
vast and nutritiously powerful microphones of fs are ammnating live
from the jug as we go for the jugular from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, and this portion
(01:32):

I see Alf's going there right now, he's already clicked
over there could jump by you, Alf and Ferg Dog,
You're not far behind. So I lead this hour from Seattle,
a game based on the points spread that was one
of the great mismatches, one of the great mismatches of
(02:55):
the NFL weekend. It was Grandpa duty Day in the NFL.
There is The Seattle Seahawks were a two touchdown favorite
as they matched up with Gramps and the Colts. Did
you watch this game at all? And watching more of
it than I thought I was gonna it'ch I know
I was gonna watch it, but I was flipping over
(03:16):
to it. I was like, Wow, this guy looks like
he's enjoyed himself. Got a little retirement. Wait on there,
Philip Rivers out doing his thing. So check this out.
If you didn't see the game Seattle, this is how
crazy it got. Seattle needed a late field goal to
beat a forty four year old grandfather. Oh my god, yeah,
late field goal does squeeze past Indy by the hair
(03:39):
on their chinny chin chin. They got it done running
a prehistoric offense. The forty four year old Grandpa Philip
Rivers and the Colts nearly. They came this close you
can't see my fingers unless you're watching on the YouTube feed,
this close to starming the Seattle Seahawks rarely throwing the
(04:00):
ball past the line of scrimmage. Philip Rivers completed eighteen
passes eighteen of twenty seven, had just one hundred and
twenty yards passing, did have a touchdown and an interception
that came at the very end of the game. Not
good enough, but good enough to keep Andy in the game.
And that is a good jumping off point. So let
(04:20):
us discuss the question for the esteem panel. Give me
your knee jerk reaction to Colts quarterback Philip Rivers crawling
out of the tar pit if you will, he's a dinosaur,
and leading his return to the NFL there and having
the lead late in the game against Seattle. So I've
(04:44):
got chewing gum, Cubert, and crash test and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to have some delicious corn dogs and then we're gonna
have some pastrami fries on the side. Sounds like a
very unhealthy but delicious meal. So I am in now.
(05:06):
Before we start ranting and raving, let's hear from gramps.
Always respect your elders, although I'm older than him. Anyway,
Here's here's a Philip Rivers. Grandpa rivers there and said, hey,
things are not great, but don't worry. Things are looking up.
Don't worry, mister positive. You're take a list.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
If I can stay healthy like I feel good, you know,
and it's going to get better as we go.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But the catch, and that.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Is we got to win.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It doesn't really matter if it's getting better as we
go if we don't win, because it's gonna be over
in three weeks. So that's the catch there. But it's
going to continue to get better. I mean, this was
obviously the first one. We're talking about three days of practice, so.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Okay, yeah, it would be better. He'll be back if
they lose the next game. Does he even stick around
if the Colts are eliminated like this has got like
one more game, right, is that correct? If they get eliminated,
what's the point of playing, Rivers? The whole point was
to get in the playoffs. If they don't get in
the play else, then that's it. Here's more from Philip Rivers,
and it's all about the emotion of it all.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Grateful, I mean grateful running out for warm ups and
all that, and out there from anthem and as the
game just got going, I was just thankful, grateful that
I was out there, and it was a blast. It
was a blast. But obviously the emotion is now our disappointment. Disappointment.
You know, I'm this isn't about me. You know, we
(06:31):
scrapping like crazy, just trying to stay alive and get
in the postseason. So obviously we're all disappointed.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Kind of is all about you, all right, So again,
let's go back to the question. If you forgot the question,
the question is give me your knee jerk reaction to
Philip Rivers.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You just heard him, the Colts quarterback, crawling out of
the tar pit to play quarterbacks. So my first thought
is that Philip Rivers surprisingly was not the problem. Y'all
thought he was going to be the problem. He was
not the problem. Rivers came off the couch and he
didn't look like he was in shape to play in
the NFL, and he did exactly what the Colts thought
(07:08):
he was going to do. He they signed him knowing
he wasn't gonna like the world on fire. They signed
him to just not lose the game. And he didn't
lose the game, Like that's the whole point you brought
him in. There is this, that's what the situation demanded
is like ball security, chew the clock up, hand the
ball off. Just do be the adult in the room.
(07:30):
Be the grown up in the room. That's why they
signed you. And he didn't play great. He did enough
where the Seattle Seahawks, that big bad Seahawks defense the
sweat a little bit. There were some points here where
they're like, wait a minute, and so then on offense
they needed to drive late to win the game. That's
not a good look. And it wasn't glamorous, it wasn't sexy.
(07:54):
There was no hero ball. There wasn't a lot of
ego from Philip Rivers out there. He just survived. There
was no zim on the passes, didn't appear that he
had legs where he could move around at all. And
there was no fear if you're Seattle, of him throwing
the ball down the field because he can't do that.
(08:15):
The arm strength is gone, and we figured even the
last year he played with the Colts five years ago,
he didn't have a great arm. So it's not like
it's going to get better. And so yet despite all
of that, nevertheless, this was not a guy that melted down.
You know, he didn't have old man's strength. He had
old man wheeze, he had some phlegm, and yet there
(08:38):
he was. He's managing a nineteen fifties style NFL playbook
that was put together with duct tape and chewing gum,
and you know, things were just kind of messed up there.
But Rivers didn't lose the game. Think about that, forty
four year old grandfather who was coaching high school football
in a small town in Alabama did not lose the game.
(09:00):
He did not. In fact, he nearly stole the game.
He just stole the game. The Colts lost because the
weather beaten defense could not get one stop at the end. Now,
Rivers was not vintage Philip Rivers. It will likely never
be vintage Philip Rivers again. But he wasn't spoiled milk,
and that matters. It does matter there. And this was
(09:22):
an acceptable, not great, It was an acceptable professional quarterback
performance in a no wing spot, two touchdown underdog in Seattle.
To me, the more humiliating thing is Sam darnol I
would be very concerned. If I'm a Seattle Seahawk fan
right now, the reason I would be concerned is it
was talking about Philip Rivers. The Colts were without both
(09:45):
of their starting defensive backs. Sauce Gardner, who they traded
a couple of first round picks to get, and Chavarius
Ward were both out. They're All Pro defensive tackle DeForest
Buckner was out. And the Seattle Seahawks offense as many
touchdowns as the Mallard Militia offense. They didn't score touchdown.
I guess the Colts defense. Without their top two defensive
(10:08):
backs and their top defensive linemen, they were the starless Colts.
And yet sam Donold futched around and could not get
in the end zone. The Seahawks had six field goals
and no touchdowns in that game. And now they play
the Rams, the big bad Rams, on Thursday night. Wow.
(10:29):
All right? Now, Secondly to the Bay Area, we go
interesting story over the week, and I'm not gonna sit
here and break down the forty nine or Titan game.
It was a bad beat by me. The Niners were
up by a gazillion points, gave up a late score,
and then they kicked a field goal, but it didn't
matter with the points spread, so the forty nine ers
ended up beating the Titans as they were expected to do.
The story, though, is around Brandon ayuk as even our
(10:53):
friend Alameda Lunos, this is not a good situation here.
So Brandon Ayuck was put on the reserve left quad list,
left squad, A quad left the squad, so he was gone.
He left the team, and he's now ineligible to return.
That's it. There's only a few games to go in
the season anyway, So the question was asked, like, this
(11:15):
guy got big money, and I think we have audio
on this. We do, okay, So here's Kyle Shanahan. This
is postgame. The Niners had just beaten the Tennessee Titans.
But the story here the Niners gave this guy one
hundred and twenty million dollars, Brandon IOC and now they
put him on the naughty list just in time for Christmas.
So coach Shanahan explain yourself.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, we haven't seen him forever, so I mean, that's
just that's a decision they make. It's been pretty simple
for me. I haven't seen him in a month, so wow,
you know that's in same with our team. So it's
hasn't been an issue with our team at all. I'm
kind of been plugging away and no big deal or
this is something we've been used to for a while,
but I know it's new to you guys, So.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It is officially.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I think I had to do that yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, So again, if you didn't understand that the player
Brandon Aok just left the team, I'm out boys, see
you later. The Niners had taken away some guaranteed money
in his contract. You think these two things are related.
Methinks they are. Methinks those two things are related. You
take my money away, screw you. I'm out, And sure
(12:23):
enough he was. So the question again is what does
this public statement by Kyle Shanahan about Brandon Ayok and
his sets? What is this signal to you? All right?
So what is it signal to you? This was not
so much a status update, if you will. This was
(12:43):
a toe tag news conference. You feel me on that? Yeah?
This was Hey, Kyle Shanahan. He did not whisper. He
was rather direct, He did not beat around the bush.
There was none of that and give a little bit
of a shrug. Now that is my experience when a
coach shrugs about his star receiver going a wall. Uh,
(13:08):
that is a flatline situation, is what that is? Haven't
seen him in a month? Was the line? Haven't seen
him in a month? Translation? Missing, presumed, presumed gone, presumed gone.
And Brandon, IOK, what he did here? He went full
double Cubert. Double Cubert is what he did old video game,
(13:32):
bouncing around, disengaged, joystick unplugged. That's quiet quitting. QQ. What
he did is quiet quitting. He just stopped showing up.
So I'm not I don't want to work here. He
This is wild. Brandon IOC treated an NFL wide receiver
job like he was working the fry machine at McDonald's.
(13:53):
He says, I'm out, or Nick the Wendy's guy in Minnesota.
I've heard from Nick in a while, but Nick the
Wendy's guy in Minnesota, I'm not good. I'm out, see
a little boys, I'm done. And the Niners responded, And
how do they? They responded by pulling out the machete
and hacking away the contract guarantees and all that stuff.
And so no yelling, no drama, and just cold, sterile detachment.
(14:15):
And that's it. I see it. Now, that's actually worse
in many ways when the coach has already cleaned out
the locker, at least mentally for the player, and Shanahan's
saying it's no big deal that Brandon Ayock is not there.
It's like the doctor saying, wait, you're not my patient anymore,
You're not my problem. I don't care. You know, you
(14:36):
got to even find another doctor. So the locker room
has moved on, allegedly find out if that's true or not.
The offense moved on, and there you go, and the
vibrations that Brandon Ayuk brought gone gone, like all the brownies,
you know, all the pile of brownies there, and everyone
knows brownies, so they're gone. See you later there. This
(14:57):
is divorce court. No counseling needed, no trial, separation, no
papers filed, bags packed. The uber is waiting. The uber
is waiting. And so he didn't just get benched. He
kind of benched himself right emotionally deleted the player all right, now,
final thought to Chicago, we go another game and a
(15:18):
blowout win for it the Bears. I know Mark's very
happy about that. Now. The story here, though, is not
that it is in the losing locker room, the addition
of Shadur Sanders continuing for Cleveland, how did he do?
Don't ask? Shadeur Sanders attempted twenty five passes, fifteen of
them were incomplete one hundred and thirty one yards. There
(15:40):
were some drop passes that the Marching in Shadow Society
for Shudur Sanders will point out. The three interceptions just
absolutely brutal, thirty one to three, beat down, thirty one
to three, Chicago monsters the midway, waking up, the echoes
(16:00):
and shoulder Sanders being body slam, body slam, body slammed
all over social media, people ripping him apart. So the
question thumbs up, four thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs down,
does should Sanders deserve to be absolutely crushed like a
bug on the rug for his play with the brownies
in this game in Chicago? So I'm gonna go thumb up,
(16:23):
thumbs up, Yeah, two thumbs up. This is obviously personal.
It's it's a mess, right, Shouldar Sanders is out there,
is in your face and we'll professionally slice him up
here as just all's fair and love war and sports
talk radio. That was malpractice, is what that was, right,
(16:44):
should Sanders did not just struggle for the Cleveland Browns.
He rode the vomit comment. And not only did he
ride the vomit comment, he wrote it at warp speed,
very fast on the vomit comet and then straight in
to Soldier Field. The Browns as they left Soldier Field there,
they didn't just leave quietly. They left a actual it
(17:06):
was amazing. It was a crater, a smoking crater they
left in the stadium from the vomit comet hitting down
at about the fifty yard line at Soldier Field there.
That was a terrific just absolutely horrible every way. In fact,
how bad was it? A seventeen point seven passer rating
for Shuldur Sanders. That isn't just bad, it's biblically bad.
(17:29):
We are talking Sodom and Gomorrah with a playbook bad.
That's how bad this was. And this was a dead
turtle performance by should Earth Sanders. They're upside down, helpless
and the kind of a stench, the kind of a
stench that triggered a league wide gag reflex. Now I've
(17:51):
never smelled a dead turtle, I'm told though, they are
the worst smelling animal. For some reason. The turtles. The
rotting turtle smells worse than anything else. I'll have to
check with my medical advisor, Jed who fled or hollowing
James to find out if that's true. But wild life
people say it's a revolting smell. Revolting smell, and of
(18:11):
course an NFL defensive coordinators licking their chops at playing
Shadarth Sanders after this particular game and Sanders handing out
interceptions like it's Halloween but it's almost Christmas here and
the Bears happily filling their buckets with all kinds of
delicious candy. They're seventeen points gift wrapped directly off Cleveland
Brown turnovers from Shudhurth Sanders. Those interceptions bear scored seventeen
(18:35):
points off shood Earth Sanders interception. So not adversity, it's
not really adversity there. It's like arson with fingerprints and
a lot of clear video. And remember all of this now,
the only reason we're talking about this is because it's
a dummy run for Shudur Sanders. This is his opportunity
on the job trial by fire and Chadeur is he's
(18:58):
the crash test quarterback and yeah, he failed the evaluation
here he did totaled the car air bags in the
air everywhere they were deployed, and you saw the highlights
on this game. You'd see it in real time. You
have to watch the highlights there, the plummet, the panic,
(19:18):
all of those things, all of those things there and
the free falling right in the bowels of football hell
Dante's Inferno. So the criticism it is rather cruel. It's
it's a price of admission. That's the way it works.
That's what you signed up for. And he didn't play
well enough, and you don't play well enough, you get
(19:40):
absolutely shish kebobed is what you get. It is the
Ben Mahler Show. And if you'd like to be part
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, that's eight seven

screen Radio, that's unscreened radio that'll be coming up for

Oh man, the Mallar Militia feud. That's exciting, right, yeah,

Buffalo Bill's quarterback Josh Allen goes into Foxborough and gets
(20:23):
a win and he went viral though on social media
for Blank during the game. Again, Josh Allen, the Bill's
quarterback had a good and I said better game. They
had a good game. In the second half. The Bills
scored ft five straight touchdowns against the Patriots. That's embarrassing
for the Patriots. Josh Allen went viral during that Bill's
(20:46):
Patriots game. He went viral on social media because of Blank.
And that is the malar riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it and these calls, and we will
do it next.

for the malor riddle of the day, and here it
is Bill's quarterback Josh Allen went viral on social media.
Uh for blank during the game with the Patriots. Something
(22:57):
happened there and it was a viral moment. So what
was it? That's the question. What's the answer and what
do we have? Scrooge says for taking a dump on
the field as a touchdown celebration. Lady Sideburn says he
went viral for eating yellow snow. Asher says his score
in Super Mario Brothers two. Ferg Dog says because he's
(23:22):
he blocked his biggest stalker, Robbie the Mariner fan. How's
the snow there? In Fullerton? Fer Dog? Everything all right there,
big snow pack coming into Fullton. Prop guy says for
splitting a six pack of Robbie ginger Ale with Robbie
the Josh Allen fan on the Bill's sideline. Well, there's Robbie,
look at that. Where do the Bills? That very excited there?
(23:44):
That ai is pretty powerful? What else do we have?
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says for donating big bucks to
the Salvation Army. Red Kettle King Rory says for the
size of his wife's cucumber. Yeah, well no, let's said
Drake May's wife is doing those little cooking videos, right,
not Josh Allen's wife. She's the big actress lady. I
(24:07):
guess what else we have alf the alien Opiner says
for a botched gender reveal, that that is the answer.
JT the Wingman for eating a plate of buffalo wings
from the anchor bar in Buffalo. Donkey Sausage, I've been
to the anchor bar. Donkey Sausage says for watching John
Cena's last match, so sad until he needs more money
(24:30):
in a couple of years and he comes back very
very sad. What else do we have? Some dead turtles
from Johnny Q? That's his answer page down. All right,
enough of that ano of that time. Now for the
big reveal on the Mallard riddle of the day. Josh
Allen went viral on social media for blank during the
game with the Patriots. That would be for vomiting. He
(24:54):
puked on camera at the nine nine mark in the
fourth quarter. They panned to him on the sidelines and
he had a reversal of fortune. Yeah right there. Now
the number one Seahawk apologist, that would be no stredenis right,
since says all the rivers feel good hype this past
(25:16):
week made him December's second most popular guy behind Santa
Claus and probably gave them a better chance than Daniel Jones.
Another good Seahawk win, and now we get the beat
up on another fossil quarterback this week. You want to
better that? No call up, no stredenas. Let's go to
the phones, let's say hello to Let's go to Eat
(25:37):
Dog on Long Island. Hello, eat Dog, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
What's going on bro?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
That Honikah Eat Dog? Did you have a good start
to Honkah?
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I got it. I got a starve an all end,
the Magic hat and a Indiana Pacers hat.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
My regret, Why would you get a PACER's hat in
an Orlando Magic Those teams are their rivals. They played.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Little cool you know nights.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I don't know, Well, that's not cool. The Pacers aren't
good this year.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That sound a cool one, I know, but I like
the outfit. Also, one thing before I can take, don't say.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
One last thing. I know you you're gonna do about
ten minutes of stand up right.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Listen? Okay? What what? What did Ray Knight with the
drug test to say about me? This is one word for.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Those who don't know. Ray Knight is a baseball player
who played forty years ago, and a very relevant reference
marks the Ray Night is he's a he's an old
school baseball guy. What did Ray Night say to the
drug tester?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
No? What did the drug test to say about me?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What? What you mentioned? Ray Knight? What I said late Night?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I thought I thought you said Ray? Didn't you say?
I swear I heard Ray?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Now you're Ray Night?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Or what do you hear?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Mark? That night?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It sounded like Ray Night, right, meant night? You said Rain.
I understand, But you said Ray.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I thought I said. I thought, I said late night?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Okay, all right, late night? All right? So what are
the drug late night drug tell you're doing a late
night drug tet? You you are?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
You? Really?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Are you the late night drug tester?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Definitely not, he said, he said the chiefs, he said,
retire from homes. I disagree. Now. Also, I had the
Eagles of Minus for twelve and a half. I covered, well.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
They won thirty one and nothing.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I know they killed them.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
The raiders had seventy five yards of offense and supposedly
practiced all week.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
And you know what they practiced there? You know the
cold weather regime.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You know, I don't think it was the weather. I
think it was the lack of motivation. They've quit. They
want the season be over with.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I'm glad the Bears beat the Browns.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Okay, everyone's happy to hear that. You're glad the Bears beat.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
The Browns as much as my line though, hat right? Yeah,
my friend, k Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You got your babe. Ky's your girlfriend. Yeah, he's a

(00:21):
forty nine ers public statement about wide receiver Brandon iuc

(02:34):
To learn more, go to haley On Assist dot com.
I see Alf's going there right now, he's already clicked
over there could jump by you, Alf and Ferg Dog,
You're not far behind. So I lead this hour from Seattle,
a game based on the points spread that was one
of the great mismatches, one of the great mismatches of
(02:55):
the NFL weekend. It was Grandpa duty Day in the NFL.
There is The Seattle Seahawks were a two touchdown favorite
as they matched up with Gramps and the Colts. Did
you watch this game at all? And watching more of
it than I thought I was gonna it'ch I know
I was gonna watch it, but I was flipping over
(03:16):
to it. I was like, Wow, this guy looks like
he's enjoyed himself. Got a little retirement. Wait on there,
Philip Rivers out doing his thing. So check this out.
If you didn't see the game Seattle, this is how
crazy it got. Seattle needed a late field goal to
beat a forty four year old grandfather. Oh my god, yeah,
late field goal does squeeze past Indy by the hair
(03:39):
on their chinny chin chin. They got it done running
a prehistoric offense. The forty four year old Grandpa Philip
Rivers and the Colts nearly. They came this close you
can't see my fingers unless you're watching on the YouTube feed,
this close to starming the Seattle Seahawks rarely throwing the
(04:00):
ball past the line of scrimmage. Philip Rivers completed eighteen
passes eighteen of twenty seven, had just one hundred and
twenty yards passing, did have a touchdown and an interception
that came at the very end of the game. Not
good enough, but good enough to keep Andy in the game.
And that is a good jumping off point. So let
(04:20):
us discuss the question for the esteem panel. Give me
your knee jerk reaction to Colts quarterback Philip Rivers crawling
out of the tar pit if you will, he's a dinosaur,
and leading his return to the NFL there and having
the lead late in the game against Seattle. So I've
(04:44):
got chewing gum, Cubert, and crash test and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to have some delicious corn dogs and then we're gonna
have some pastrami fries on the side. Sounds like a
very unhealthy but delicious meal. So I am in now.
(05:06):
Before we start ranting and raving, let's hear from gramps.
Always respect your elders, although I'm older than him. Anyway,
Here's here's a Philip Rivers. Grandpa rivers there and said, hey,
things are not great, but don't worry. Things are looking up.
Don't worry, mister positive. You're take a list.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
If I can stay healthy like I feel good, you know,
and it's going to get better as we go.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But the catch, and that.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Is we got to win.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It doesn't really matter if it's getting better as we
go if we don't win, because it's gonna be over
in three weeks. So that's the catch there. But it's
going to continue to get better. I mean, this was
obviously the first one. We're talking about three days of practice, so.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Okay, yeah, it would be better. He'll be back if
they lose the next game. Does he even stick around
if the Colts are eliminated like this has got like
one more game, right, is that correct? If they get eliminated,
what's the point of playing, Rivers? The whole point was
to get in the playoffs. If they don't get in
the play else, then that's it. Here's more from Philip Rivers,
and it's all about the emotion of it all.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Grateful, I mean grateful running out for warm ups and
all that, and out there from anthem and as the
game just got going, I was just thankful, grateful that
I was out there, and it was a blast. It
was a blast. But obviously the emotion is now our disappointment. Disappointment.
You know, I'm this isn't about me. You know, we
(06:31):
scrapping like crazy, just trying to stay alive and get
in the postseason. So obviously we're all disappointed.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Kind of is all about you, all right, So again,
let's go back to the question. If you forgot the question,
the question is give me your knee jerk reaction to
Philip Rivers.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You just heard him, the Colts quarterback, crawling out of
the tar pit to play quarterbacks. So my first thought
is that Philip Rivers surprisingly was not the problem. Y'all
thought he was going to be the problem. He was
not the problem. Rivers came off the couch and he
didn't look like he was in shape to play in
the NFL, and he did exactly what the Colts thought
(07:08):
he was going to do. He they signed him knowing
he wasn't gonna like the world on fire. They signed
him to just not lose the game. And he didn't
lose the game, Like that's the whole point you brought
him in. There is this, that's what the situation demanded
is like ball security, chew the clock up, hand the
ball off. Just do be the adult in the room.
(07:30):
Be the grown up in the room. That's why they
signed you. And he didn't play great. He did enough
where the Seattle Seahawks, that big bad Seahawks defense the
sweat a little bit. There were some points here where
they're like, wait a minute, and so then on offense
they needed to drive late to win the game. That's
not a good look. And it wasn't glamorous, it wasn't sexy.
(07:54):
There was no hero ball. There wasn't a lot of
ego from Philip Rivers out there. He just survived. There
was no zim on the passes, didn't appear that he
had legs where he could move around at all. And
there was no fear if you're Seattle, of him throwing
the ball down the field because he can't do that.
(08:15):
The arm strength is gone, and we figured even the
last year he played with the Colts five years ago,
he didn't have a great arm. So it's not like
it's going to get better. And so yet despite all
of that, nevertheless, this was not a guy that melted down.
You know, he didn't have old man's strength. He had
old man wheeze, he had some phlegm, and yet there
(08:38):
he was. He's managing a nineteen fifties style NFL playbook
that was put together with duct tape and chewing gum,
and you know, things were just kind of messed up there.
But Rivers didn't lose the game. Think about that, forty
four year old grandfather who was coaching high school football
in a small town in Alabama did not lose the game.
(09:00):
He did not. In fact, he nearly stole the game.
He just stole the game. The Colts lost because the
weather beaten defense could not get one stop at the end. Now,
Rivers was not vintage Philip Rivers. It will likely never
be vintage Philip Rivers again. But he wasn't spoiled milk,
and that matters. It does matter there. And this was
(09:22):
an acceptable, not great, It was an acceptable professional quarterback
performance in a no wing spot, two touchdown underdog in Seattle.
To me, the more humiliating thing is Sam darnol I
would be very concerned. If I'm a Seattle Seahawk fan
right now, the reason I would be concerned is it
was talking about Philip Rivers. The Colts were without both
(09:45):
of their starting defensive backs. Sauce Gardner, who they traded
a couple of first round picks to get, and Chavarius
Ward were both out. They're All Pro defensive tackle DeForest
Buckner was out. And the Seattle Seahawks offense as many
touchdowns as the Mallard Militia offense. They didn't score touchdown.
I guess the Colts defense. Without their top two defensive
(10:08):
backs and their top defensive linemen, they were the starless Colts.
And yet sam Donold futched around and could not get
in the end zone. The Seahawks had six field goals
and no touchdowns in that game. And now they play
the Rams, the big bad Rams, on Thursday night. Wow.
(10:29):
All right? Now, Secondly to the Bay Area, we go
interesting story over the week, and I'm not gonna sit
here and break down the forty nine or Titan game.
It was a bad beat by me. The Niners were
up by a gazillion points, gave up a late score,
and then they kicked a field goal, but it didn't
matter with the points spread, so the forty nine ers
ended up beating the Titans as they were expected to do.
The story, though, is around Brandon ayuk as even our
(10:53):
friend Alameda Lunos, this is not a good situation here.
So Brandon Ayuck was put on the reserve left quad list,
left squad, A quad left the squad, so he was gone.
He left the team, and he's now ineligible to return.
That's it. There's only a few games to go in
the season anyway, So the question was asked, like, this
(11:15):
guy got big money, and I think we have audio
on this. We do, okay, So here's Kyle Shanahan. This
is postgame. The Niners had just beaten the Tennessee Titans.
But the story here the Niners gave this guy one
hundred and twenty million dollars, Brandon IOC and now they
put him on the naughty list just in time for Christmas.
So coach Shanahan explain yourself.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, we haven't seen him forever, so I mean, that's
just that's a decision they make. It's been pretty simple
for me. I haven't seen him in a month, so wow,
you know that's in same with our team. So it's
hasn't been an issue with our team at all. I'm
kind of been plugging away and no big deal or
this is something we've been used to for a while,
but I know it's new to you guys, So.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It is officially.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I think I had to do that yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, So again, if you didn't understand that the player
Brandon Aok just left the team, I'm out boys, see
you later. The Niners had taken away some guaranteed money
in his contract. You think these two things are related.
Methinks they are. Methinks those two things are related. You
take my money away, screw you. I'm out, And sure
(12:23):
enough he was. So the question again is what does
this public statement by Kyle Shanahan about Brandon Ayok and
his sets? What is this signal to you? All right?
So what is it signal to you? This was not
so much a status update, if you will. This was
(12:43):
a toe tag news conference. You feel me on that? Yeah?
This was Hey, Kyle Shanahan. He did not whisper. He
was rather direct, He did not beat around the bush.
There was none of that and give a little bit
of a shrug. Now that is my experience when a
coach shrugs about his star receiver going a wall. Uh,
(13:08):
that is a flatline situation, is what that is? Haven't
seen him in a month? Was the line? Haven't seen
him in a month? Translation? Missing, presumed, presumed gone, presumed gone.
And Brandon, IOK, what he did here? He went full
double Cubert. Double Cubert is what he did old video game,
(13:32):
bouncing around, disengaged, joystick unplugged. That's quiet quitting. QQ. What
he did is quiet quitting. He just stopped showing up.
So I'm not I don't want to work here. He
This is wild. Brandon IOC treated an NFL wide receiver
job like he was working the fry machine at McDonald's.
(13:53):
He says, I'm out, or Nick the Wendy's guy in Minnesota.
I've heard from Nick in a while, but Nick the
Wendy's guy in Minnesota, I'm not good. I'm out, see
a little boys, I'm done. And the Niners responded, And
how do they? They responded by pulling out the machete
and hacking away the contract guarantees and all that stuff.
And so no yelling, no drama, and just cold, sterile detachment.
(14:15):
And that's it. I see it. Now, that's actually worse
in many ways when the coach has already cleaned out
the locker, at least mentally for the player, and Shanahan's
saying it's no big deal that Brandon Ayock is not there.
It's like the doctor saying, wait, you're not my patient anymore,
You're not my problem. I don't care. You know, you
(14:36):
got to even find another doctor. So the locker room
has moved on, allegedly find out if that's true or not.
The offense moved on, and there you go, and the
vibrations that Brandon Ayuk brought gone gone, like all the brownies,
you know, all the pile of brownies there, and everyone
knows brownies, so they're gone. See you later there. This
(14:57):
is divorce court. No counseling needed, no trial, separation, no
papers filed, bags packed. The uber is waiting. The uber
is waiting. And so he didn't just get benched. He
kind of benched himself right emotionally deleted the player all right, now,
final thought to Chicago, we go another game and a
(15:18):
blowout win for it the Bears. I know Mark's very
happy about that. Now. The story here, though, is not
that it is in the losing locker room, the addition
of Shadur Sanders continuing for Cleveland, how did he do?
Don't ask? Shadeur Sanders attempted twenty five passes, fifteen of
them were incomplete one hundred and thirty one yards. There
(15:40):
were some drop passes that the Marching in Shadow Society
for Shudur Sanders will point out. The three interceptions just
absolutely brutal, thirty one to three, beat down, thirty one
to three, Chicago monsters the midway, waking up, the echoes
(16:00):
and shoulder Sanders being body slam, body slam, body slammed
all over social media, people ripping him apart. So the
question thumbs up, four thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs down,
does should Sanders deserve to be absolutely crushed like a
bug on the rug for his play with the brownies
in this game in Chicago? So I'm gonna go thumb up,
(16:23):
thumbs up, Yeah, two thumbs up. This is obviously personal.
It's it's a mess, right, Shouldar Sanders is out there,
is in your face and we'll professionally slice him up
here as just all's fair and love war and sports
talk radio. That was malpractice, is what that was, right,
(16:44):
should Sanders did not just struggle for the Cleveland Browns.
He rode the vomit comment. And not only did he
ride the vomit comment, he wrote it at warp speed,
very fast on the vomit comet and then straight in
to Soldier Field. The Browns as they left Soldier Field there,
they didn't just leave quietly. They left a actual it
(17:06):
was amazing. It was a crater, a smoking crater they
left in the stadium from the vomit comet hitting down
at about the fifty yard line at Soldier Field there.
That was a terrific just absolutely horrible every way. In fact,
how bad was it? A seventeen point seven passer rating
for Shuldur Sanders. That isn't just bad, it's biblically bad.
(17:29):
We are talking Sodom and Gomorrah with a playbook bad.
That's how bad this was. And this was a dead
turtle performance by should Earth Sanders. They're upside down, helpless
and the kind of a stench, the kind of a
stench that triggered a league wide gag reflex. Now I've
(17:51):
never smelled a dead turtle, I'm told though, they are
the worst smelling animal. For some reason. The turtles. The
rotting turtle smells worse than anything else. I'll have to
check with my medical advisor, Jed who fled or hollowing
James to find out if that's true. But wild life
people say it's a revolting smell. Revolting smell, and of
(18:11):
course an NFL defensive coordinators licking their chops at playing
Shadarth Sanders after this particular game and Sanders handing out
interceptions like it's Halloween but it's almost Christmas here and
the Bears happily filling their buckets with all kinds of
delicious candy. They're seventeen points gift wrapped directly off Cleveland
Brown turnovers from Shudhurth Sanders. Those interceptions bear scored seventeen
(18:35):
points off shood Earth Sanders interception. So not adversity, it's
not really adversity there. It's like arson with fingerprints and
a lot of clear video. And remember all of this now,
the only reason we're talking about this is because it's
a dummy run for Shudur Sanders. This is his opportunity
on the job trial by fire and Chadeur is he's
(18:58):
the crash test quarterback and yeah, he failed the evaluation
here he did totaled the car air bags in the
air everywhere they were deployed, and you saw the highlights
on this game. You'd see it in real time. You
have to watch the highlights there, the plummet, the panic,
(19:18):
all of those things, all of those things there and
the free falling right in the bowels of football hell
Dante's Inferno. So the criticism it is rather cruel. It's
it's a price of admission. That's the way it works.
That's what you signed up for. And he didn't play
well enough, and you don't play well enough, you get
(19:40):
absolutely shish kebobed is what you get. It is the
Ben Mahler Show. And if you'd like to be part

for Blank during the game. Again, Josh Allen, the Bill's
quarterback had a good and I said better game. They
had a good game. In the second half. The Bills
scored ft five straight touchdowns against the Patriots. That's embarrassing
for the Patriots. Josh Allen went viral during that Bill's
(20:46):
Patriots game. He went viral on social media because of Blank.

for the malor riddle of the day, and here it
is Bill's quarterback Josh Allen went viral on social media.
Uh for blank during the game with the Patriots. Something
(22:57):
happened there and it was a viral moment. So what
was it? That's the question. What's the answer and what
do we have? Scrooge says for taking a dump on
the field as a touchdown celebration. Lady Sideburn says he
went viral for eating yellow snow. Asher says his score
in Super Mario Brothers two. Ferg Dog says because he's
(23:22):
he blocked his biggest stalker, Robbie the Mariner fan. How's
the snow there? In Fullerton? Fer Dog? Everything all right there,
big snow pack coming into Fullton. Prop guy says for
splitting a six pack of Robbie ginger Ale with Robbie
the Josh Allen fan on the Bill's sideline. Well, there's Robbie,
look at that. Where do the Bills? That very excited there?
(23:44):
That ai is pretty powerful? What else do we have?
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says for donating big bucks to
the Salvation Army. Red Kettle King Rory says for the
size of his wife's cucumber. Yeah, well no, let's said
Drake May's wife is doing those little cooking videos, right,
not Josh Allen's wife. She's the big actress lady. I
(24:07):
guess what else we have alf the alien Opiner says
for a botched gender reveal, that that is the answer.
JT the Wingman for eating a plate of buffalo wings
from the anchor bar in Buffalo. Donkey Sausage, I've been
to the anchor bar. Donkey Sausage says for watching John
Cena's last match, so sad until he needs more money
(24:30):
in a couple of years and he comes back very
very sad. What else do we have? Some dead turtles
from Johnny Q? That's his answer page down. All right,
enough of that ano of that time. Now for the
big reveal on the Mallard riddle of the day. Josh
Allen went viral on social media for blank during the
game with the Patriots. That would be for vomiting. He
(24:54):
puked on camera at the nine nine mark in the
fourth quarter. They panned to him on the sidelines and
he had a reversal of fortune. Yeah right there. Now
the number one Seahawk apologist, that would be no stredenis right,
since says all the rivers feel good hype this past
(25:16):
week made him December's second most popular guy behind Santa
Claus and probably gave them a better chance than Daniel Jones.
Another good Seahawk win, and now we get the beat
up on another fossil quarterback this week. You want to
better that? No call up, no stredenas. Let's go to
the phones, let's say hello to Let's go to Eat
(25:37):
Dog on Long Island. Hello, eat Dog, Welcome.

My regret, Why would you get a PACER's hat in
an Orlando Magic Those teams are their rivals. They played.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Little cool you know nights.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I don't know, Well, that's not cool. The Pacers aren't
good this year.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That sound a cool one, I know, but I like
the outfit. Also, one thing before I can take, don't say.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
One last thing. I know you you're gonna do about
ten minutes of stand up right.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Listen? Okay? What what? What did Ray Knight with the
drug test to say about me? This is one word for.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Those who don't know. Ray Knight is a baseball player
who played forty years ago, and a very relevant reference
marks the Ray Night is he's a he's an old
school baseball guy. What did Ray Night say to the
drug tester?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
No? What did the drug test to say about me?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What? What you mentioned? Ray Knight? What I said late Night?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I thought I thought you said Ray? Didn't you say?
I swear I heard Ray?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Now you're Ray Night?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Or what do you hear?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Mark? That night?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It sounded like Ray Night, right, meant night? You said Rain.

retire from homes. I disagree. Now. Also, I had the
Eagles of Minus for twelve and a half. I covered, well.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
They won thirty one and nothing.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I know they killed them.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
The raiders had seventy five yards of offense and supposedly
practiced all week.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
And you know what they practiced there? You know the
cold weather regime.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You know, I don't think it was the weather. I
think it was the lack of motivation. They've quit. They
want the season be over with.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I'm glad the Bears beat the Browns.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Okay, everyone's happy to hear that. You're glad the Bears beat.
