Speaker 1 (00:00):
Holly cow It's our number, for our number four on
this Wednesday, the seventh day of January, and we go
back to the well one more time in the NFL.
What stands out about this Cliff Kingsbury switcheroo. He's whacked
as the OC in Washington and immediately his name has

(00:21):
popped up for multiple jobs around the NFL. The interest
is there. We'll talk about that. Also. Vikings defensive coordinator
Brian Flores has been labeled a quote dictator as an
NFL head coach back in his Miami days, Big deal,
little deal or no deal and thumbs up or thumbs down.

(00:41):
Is it fair for Jerry Jones to blame Matt Eberflus
we fired for the Cowboys many problems. We'll go there
and who knows where else. Have a great Wednesday here.
It is our number four. It turns out that not all,
not all commanders are great. Well come in the beginning

(01:07):
of another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are
in the air ev Re Whares. We hang out together
and we study super Mamarket. Steve tells me, you know,
you guys really need to study at the Hogwarts School
of Witchcraft and wizardry. So that's what we do coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast

(01:29):
and planetarily powerful microphones of FSR am moinating from the
lock the gridlock of the radio clock, the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios, and Pirito not Peruto. Perrito reminds

(01:54):
me that this hour made possible in part by our
friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has been helping customers like Ryan in San Diego and
Nate the Hammerman find the tires they need, right they need,
They need those those nice tires, the right tires for how,

(02:15):
what and where they drive ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. I know, Fried Daddy send me a long
manifesto about rain and bad weather and pumped his chest
out and said, I'm Fried Daddy and I live in Pennsylvania.

(02:35):
Say I want to him, but your rain they take
a bout now, Jerry is She's from Rhode Island. She says, Hey,
what about express employment professionals? Well, thanks for reminding me, Jerry.
Facing a peak season looking for a new team member.
Workforce solutions from Express Employment Professionals make hiring easier. Visit

(02:57):
expresspros dot com to find an office and how Expressed
can help you hire smarter and faster. And the great
Danny Tovito from Boston, the Boston area. There trash man Danny,
and Vito says, hey, well he's everyone's favorite trash man.
He says. This show is sponsored also by DraftKings. That's right,
DraftKings sportsbook and official sports betting partner of the NFL

(03:17):
and NBA. Right now, use the promo code Mallard to
claim you're a special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo
code Mallard at DraftKings. The Crown is yours our lead
story this hour, not John Harbaugh. He was whacked by
the Ravens who are claiming he lost the locker room,
which is a code for saying Lamar Jackson didn't like

(03:39):
him anymore. Otherwise, John Harbad will still be coaching the Ravens.
More on that later. We did a podcast. Well it'll
be on the I should say it'll be on the podcast.
It's a full monologue on John harbaugh situation back in
hour one. But our lead this hour is also from
the employment office shake up in side the beltway, the

(04:01):
swamp draining the swamp. If you have not heard, no,
you haven't heard. We have learned much to the dismay
of inca terror. The commanders have dumped offensive Coordinator Cliff Kingsbury.
He going, He's on now the move was I love
that when these stories are reported this way. So the

(04:22):
story was reported as a mutual parting of the ways,
which is a dead giveaway book crap book, crap book,
crap book crap anyway, So yeah, the mutually parting of
the ways. Yes, and I am a runway model. That
is absolutely correct there why not? So Cliff Kingsbury was

(04:43):
the toast of the NF. This is a wild story.
Toast of the NFL. About a year ago. Jaden Daniels
was the great hope for the franchise, was living up
the expectations. Commanders were in the final four, the NFL's
final four. And now he is out the door. Don't
let the door hit you where the good Lord split
you and see you later. But wait, there's more. The

(05:06):
story gets even more bizarre as we are now hearing
the ravens who got rid of a good coach, and
John Harbaugh are now considering adding hiring a bad coach
in Cliff Kingsbury. The Giants and the Titans are also
said to be smitten kittens with Cliff Kingsbury for their
head coaching jobs. So that is a good jumping off.

(05:26):
But let us discuss the question what stands out? What
stands out about the Cliff Kingsbury switch a root for
the team formerly known as the Redskins and now getting
interest around the NFL. So my take on this, I've
got nineteen seventies disco toy story and rodeo clowns, and

(05:48):
we will combine all of these things together, and we're
gonna make spaghetti and meat polls is what we're gonna make,
all right now. I used to love it when I
was a kid, and my mom made too much of it,
so then I stopped eating it for like twenty years.
I'm my mom. She loved like tuna, fish sandwiches, peanut
butter and jelly and spaghetti and meeples and mac and cheese.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
That was like choking off's.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Also the vandicap fish sticks. That was a lot of
fish sticks. So I don't eat fish anymore. I was
forced to eat fish as a kid. Anyway, to lead
off here, this Cliff Kingsbury story is bananas. The meltdown
in Washington. You talk about a roller coast. What a
wild ride here, and is it mister Toad's wild ride.

(06:28):
There's no mutual parting of the ways, No way, no how,
no chance. Dan Quinn woke up and said, my problems
are because of this guy, so let's get rid of
this guy. He was escorted out of the building. The
turk came in and as Frank Sinatra kroon back in

(06:48):
his day, you're riding high in April and shot down
in May. That's life in this case, in the case
of Cliff Kingsbury, you're in the NFC title game in
twenty twenty five and you're staring at the unemployment line
in twenty twenty six. Ky, itint get paid anyway. Not
a great resume, not a great resume of success. It's

(07:11):
essentially a house that's built on sand and there's no
real foundation. Too expensive, and the tide's already coming in.
The tid's already coming in. Now. Things started out with
a bang bang bang, bang bang and ended with a
whimper ended with a whimper from catch of the day

(07:31):
to right into the landfill, see you later. And yet nobody, nobody,
nobody is shocked that he's being mentioned as a head
coaching candidate when he just lost his job with the Commanders.
Why nineteen seventies Disco do the shuffle right. This is

(07:52):
how the NFL does business. Musical chairs with laminated play sheets.
It's priest shuffling. If you remember that scan you're accused
of football malpractice, you don't get fired, You get reassigned
somewhere else in the cartel of football, new locker room,
new parking pass, same sins. These guys don't get removed

(08:17):
from the league, they get relocated. That's what happens when
you're a bad NFL coach. You're always one step ahead
of the cops. And Cliff Kingsbury, he does not bring
an offense, that's a misnomer. He brings an entire lifestyle brand.
Cliff Kingsbury. He starts out like a king Cobra and

(08:38):
venom in the air everywhere from the King Cobra, and
then the fangs go dole, they go dole. It happens. Now.
I will never forget what great monologues. We had a
couple years back when Cliff Kingsbury was in the Valley
of the Sun and this Mama Luke was coaching the
Cardinals and he brought the NFL cell phone breaks, well,

(09:03):
break in the meetings, juice boxes at time out, just
like Pop Warner and what else. Instagram intermissions. You get
a post on the Graham you're at work otto, it
doesn't matter, We'll allow you to do it. Why not
with that? So all sizzle, no steak, and it's like
it's a new printed menu on glossy paper. Cliff Kingsbury

(09:27):
and the kitchens out of ingredients by mid season, so
usually right around the holidays. That's that's it. Now furthermore
to Minnesota we go where Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
A lot of positive things being written for content farming
on social media, engagement farming and all that so popular
name by people that claim they're popular people on the

(09:50):
coaching carousel. So he did take a body blow body
blow from one of his former players this week. That
would be Dolphins quarterback back in the day day known
as the Amish Rifle, Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Amish rifle fired,
not a rifle. This was a musket shot by Ryan Fitzpatrick,
who played for Brian Flores in South Florida. He said, quote,

(10:15):
by the end of his time Brian Flores's time in Miami,
By the end of his time in Miami, he became
a dictator. He ruined a lot of those relationships. Close
quote right. Question. So Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who's
in line for a bunch of coaching jobs, being labeled

(10:38):
a dick tator Capitol League as an NFL head coach.
Big deal, little deal, no deal, big deal, little deal,
no deal. So we go to the Mallard scorecard on
this and a little deal little deal. Here's why. Think
of it like toy story. Pull the string and you

(11:00):
get there's a snake in my boot. That's what you get, right.
It's an annoyance sound effect is what it is. It's
not a crime scene or anything like that. And every
time Brian Flora is his name comes up, somebody yanks
the cord on the little woody doll and the same
line plays, there's a snake in my boot. That old thing,

(11:22):
the real monster, the three headed fire breathing dragon, The
real monster under the bed is not the dictator label
for Brian Flores. It's the lawsuit dummy against the NFL.
That's the boulder in the road. That's the boulder in
the road. Now the rest, it's just noise. It's all.

(11:45):
It is just noise. That's it. Brian Flora has learned
under Bill Belichick. He started as a young lad and
worked his way up fifteen years with the Patriots. So
if that's what you know, of course, it's common said
he runs things like he's doing cosplay as a till
of the hun We get it. It's not for everybody.

(12:06):
That's the Patriots starter kit from when Belichick was there. Strict, cold,
no hugs, do your job. And Brian Flores he's not
a tyrant. I don't believe it. Maybe I don't know.
Is he a benevolent dictator? Probably not. Is he the
dungeon master? Eh? Yeah, you roll the dice, Just roll

(12:29):
the dice out there. You follow the rules and you're
or you're eating by a real dragon. You're eating by
a real dragon. So when teams interview and what are
they gonna make he's a dictator, they gonna bring in
like the Delta Force, call up the Pentagon can we
get the delta force in here. Please, we got a dictator.
Have you learned? Have you reformed yourself? Brian floor is.

(12:50):
Now I'm assuming he's gonna say, yes, I have, I
have a change, but I learned from my mistakes blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. And if you know,
you know, and he's gonna just play the game and
all that stuff. And these head coaching jobs you start out.
When you get a job, most of the time it's
like a cookbook or not a it's a cooking show.

(13:10):
You know those TV cooking shows that I try not
to watch, but my wife likes watching. Yeah, those shows.
What is that British baking crap? Oh my god, what
a horrific show. I think I've seen every episode. Oh
it's so bad. Anyway, you look at the cooking shows.
You don't pick the ingredients. You don't or the recipe

(13:31):
or the recipe book. They tell you what to make,
they tell you what ingredients to use. And it's the
same thing as coaching. You just hope the stove works,
that Wy'll roll out stove and the person with the
pink glasses likes what you made, and all that stuff.
All right. Now, last thing to Dallas, we go that cowboys?
How about them? Cowboy? The Cowboys fired defensive corner of
Matt Eberflus. Now, if you're keeping track as you listen

(13:54):
to this audio broadcast, if keeping track, Dallas will go
now with a fourth defensive core in four seasons. And
if you were an in and out burger, that's a
four x four. That's four slices of cheese and four
patties four x four. So the question thumbs up or
thumbs down, thumbs up or thumbs down? Is it fair?

(14:16):
Is it fair for Jerry Jones to blame Matt Eberflus
for the cowboys problems? So I am going to go
thumbs up thumbs up on this, and it's not even close.
This is how Jerry Jones crafts the myth It's mythology,
is what it is. It's how he cooks the concession
stand chili. You don't want to know what's in there.

(14:38):
There's mystery meat, it's heavy on the beans, and there's
a lot of spices, and there's not a lot of accountability.
That's how you do when when things go sideways in
Jerry's world, they always need a fall. God gotta have
a fault. It's never Jerry Jones' fault. And this week
the fall guy is Matt Eberflus defenders were essentially rodeo

(15:02):
clowns at the Laughing Stock Jamboree. They were there at
the Laughing Stock Jamboree and getting juked, trucked. What else happened?
They looked like traffic cones. They got spun around like
a tilt, the World State Fair, that whole thing. And
there's Jerry Jones, mister PT Barnum himself, the great Jerry Jones,

(15:22):
and he's out there in his booth. He's drinking his
Johnny Walker blue and say he's always have a little
something for everyone. That's a quote from PT. Barnum, might
as well be a quote from Jerry Jones, because Jerry
Jones has a little something for everything, especially excuses a
lot of those a lot of issuses. And yet you

(15:43):
look around he's like, well, yeah, Dallas led the NFL
and quarterback pressure rate. I guess that's a stat that matters.
And yes, they also allowed the second highest offensive success rate,
the highest EPA whatever that is per game or per
play rout. So that's not exactly a bend, but don't

(16:03):
break defensive unit. That is a giant leak getting bigger
and bigger and bigger. But don't fix it. We don't
have the money to fix it. We don't. And so
without Micah Parsons, who didn't want to play in Dallas
and wanting he took the money and went to Green
Bay to take the money. Matt Eberflus's defense stopped neither

(16:24):
the pass nor the run. Now, other than that, pretty good.
So if you, if you, it's kind of mean to
judge them on not being able to stop the pass
of the run. But outside that solid gold, solid gold
now regardless, Jerry Jones blaming Matt Eberflus is it's kind
of like suing the mirror for having a bad hair day.

(16:49):
And I don't. I'm having a bad hair I'm gonna
sue the well. No, meanwhile, the hairjail you're using from
nineteen ninety six or was it ninety five, the last
time the Cowboys had a really good team, I don't know. Anyway.
As for as for Eberflus, we just did a whole
rant about the NFL leftovers and all that. He'll be
reheated they'll take out the tupper. Well, they're gonna reheat

(17:10):
it served as a coordinator somewhere else, and you'll just
move along and bone appetite is move on to the
next city, as we said there, and just say that's
what you do. You know, it's like Cliff Kingsbury's you're
moving around. It's like you gotta you gotta do it.
So it's the shuffle. You gotta do the shuffle, all right.

checking in. Let's say hello. We go from Hawaii and
we say hello to our friend Andres. He's the astrology insider.
We do have password coming up the word Game of
the Stars a little bit later this hour. Hello, Andrea, welcome.
If I was any better, I would be a marketing

(22:49):
person at Major League Baseball, but not the person that
forgot to put in the trademark application the right way
with the federal government.

Speaker 7 (22:57):
Well, you know what's interesting, I remember a year and
a half ago When the Aies first announced that they
were planning to move to Las Vegas, Mercury was retrograde,
and I went on their radio show, I you know,
went on social media and I said, you know, if
you make an announcement like that important during Mercury retrograde,
that's not a good timing. And you know, it leads

(23:19):
to delays and confusion and kind of fits and starts.
So it was not written in the stars from the
beginning when they made the announcement during Mercury retrograde. And
sure enough, you know they're running into all this. You know, trademark.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, even better than that. You remember when they first
announced the move, that is it the dive bar, the
Last dive. Yeah, they actually filed for the trademark.

Speaker 8 (23:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:47):
I saw that clip. They just showed it on the
sports segment of the news.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's good saying that would be
like a like an old school comedy, like a bunch
of these dudes at a bar, like they filed the
trademark before the Major League Baseball team does. That's great,
That was awesome.

Speaker 8 (24:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
No, I mean timing is everything. Timing is life. Life
is timing, and that simply was not meant to be.
When they made an announcement of that, you know, importance
during Mercury retrograde to all the fans. You know, when
I said that, they almost breathe a sigh of relief,
like maybe it won't go so smoothly and they won't
you know what.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
It is definitely not going smoothie. The team sucks and
uh yeah, I guess they are gonna say they filed
for I saw the other day for the Sacramento Athletics
name right, they're trying to get that, but they were
they were ignoring it like that made no sense to me,
Like just call them the sacrament Athletics stupid.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
Yeah, so they're just uh not having an easy.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
They're days in't confused, they're days in confused.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
That that's an old Zeppelin song. I grew up with that.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
You go, that's right, it's all tied together andrey all tied.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
What goes around comes around. Yeah, you know, I mean
I'll still follow the a's and.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
I know, I know you know people out there and
they're not that far away from you right now. It's
it's if you wanted to go there, you could go there.
It wouldn't be that big a pain in the took
is to get the sacramento right right, But it's like.

Speaker 7 (25:09):
The principle of the saying how they left, No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
When I was a ramstand growing up, when they went
to Saint Louis, I said that I'm done. Oh uh huh.
They won the Super Bowl and I didn't pay attention.
I watched it, but I didn't really pay attention. All right, Well,
I thenk you had your virgo in service on the
next of the Great Andrew the astrology insider. Yes, thank you,
all right, go away, thank you. I let's say a
little blind Scott who's hanging out on the North End?

(25:35):
He broke the story yesterday. He claimed that Mike Vrabel
is living on the North End, according to.

Speaker 9 (25:43):
On beautiful Beverly Street in Boston, one of the most
expensive streets to live on in the United States.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
How do you know? We did have a gentleman call
up after your call who's claimed that you're fake blind?
How do you know it's beautiful Beverly Street?

Speaker 9 (25:55):
Well, because I have sensory stuff, I can you know?
They have beautiful sidewalks over there. The buildings are really
lovely I tried to apply to get into one of
the buildings. They told me they didn't want to have me.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Dude, why would they not want to have you? I
don't know, You're just such a great neighbor. I don't
understand well.

Speaker 9 (26:10):
Because I can't like prove income, so they're worried if
I get in the building that I might like not leave.
You know what I mean to tie it to a
vict someone like than it is?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
You know what I'm saying, starn squatting rights.

Speaker 9 (26:23):
Yeah, yeah, so I can never get an apartment anywhere.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
That Why wouldn't blind Scott be a great squatter. You
would absolutely take advantage of those squatting rights. You should.
Why don't you become a squatter? You should be a squatter.

Speaker 9 (26:35):
I got to kind of stick with my family now
because they still support me, even though they don't talk
to me once. As soon as I leave this place
to tell over, I get it depends on you.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
You're dead, Your dad doesn't talk to you. Your mom
will y talk to you.

Speaker 10 (26:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (26:49):
No, my mom come over today. She comes over once
a week to inspect the place. To the third place,
my dad is worse than me, Like my mom agreed
that my dad might be worse than me, like I
might be. You know, my dad's really smarty, like four
hundred thousand a year, but he might be worse than
me to deal with as a person. Me and my
dad can't get together because it's like two titans colliding,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
You don't know the room, but I have chatted. Blind
Scott's dad used to call the show back in the
old days a few times.

They sound exactly alike. It's scary. It's like a slightly
older version of Blind Scott. It's wild.

Speaker 9 (27:23):
He bought ten pounds a prime rib for for Christmas.
You know, it was like over two hundred dollars. I
kind of think that he's gonna come by sometimes, but
you know, I don't think he's showing up here. But dude,
this is breaking news. So we got the eight pm
Los Angeles judges for it. The Patriots game. That's the
Bob Craft special, the game before that. No one cares
about the NFL would rather have Bols. Those teams naught

(27:45):
even playing. So this segment is brought to by Shrimp
Scrampion Evan from the Chair Company. He's the famous actor
from Boston Evan from the Chair Company.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
