1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Boom, shaka, Laca. It's our number four. Hour four is

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: ready to go as we begin the Ben Malerschow Podcast.

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: Stayed up all night to give you this pod. Now,

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: many people, many people heard Justin Jefferson, the wide receiver,

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: say all the right things and decided case closed. He's

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: not asking out of the vikings. What is your position

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: on this? Also? Are you okay with Bill's quarterback Josh

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Allen extending his iron Man streak by taking one snap

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: and then running off the field. Running off the field

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: for Buffalo and Nick Sirianni says that he has no

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: regrets about resting the Eagle players. Being healthy, he said,

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: is a big deal. The Eagles missed a chance at

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: the number two seed in the NFC. Give me your

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: reaction to that as well. It's all coming your way

00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,359

39
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: The crown is yours, so our lead this hour is

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: the NFL regular season is over. Pittsburgh gets the final

41
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: playoff spot. They eliminate the Ravens thanks to the idiot kicker.

42
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Idiot kicker for the Ravens. But our lead this hour

43
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: from Minnesota. Are the Vikings in the playoffs? Hell no,

44
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: they're not in the pluffs, but the Vikings beat the

45
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Packer backups in they close out the regular season nine

46
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: and eight. Now the focus, it's all about the future.

47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: It's all about the future. No, if you've not been

48
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: following along, much of the scuttle butt has been about

49
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: the star receiver in Minnesota who's not very happy right

50
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: now and could be with your team, could be with

51
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: your team if the price is right. So wide receiver

52
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson issued a public decree of support for quarterback

53
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy despite the Vikings getting substandard quarterback play all season.

54
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Jefferson said, quote, I would love for him meeting McCarthy

55
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback show everybody. He is that number

56
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: one guy. That's a quote from Justin Jefferson. Vikings are

57
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: rumored to be considering an upgrade from the down Raid

58
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: at quarterback, although many wonder how much of an upgrade

59
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: a guy like Alligator Arms Murray of the Cardinals would

60
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: be he's expected to go into the transfer portal out

61
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: of Arizona as the game of musical chairs will begin

62
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: soon enough, as we have the playoffs starting next week

63
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: next week, So that is a good jumping off point.

64
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question many so called experts, many

65
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: people saying that Herbert Justin Jefferson had to say, and

66
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: he said all the right things, and they've now decided

67
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: the case is closed. The case is closed. He's not

68
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: asking me out from the vikings, what is your position

69
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: on the future of Justin Jefferson and what is your

70
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: position on all of this? So I've got bedtime, Lullaby, Mona,

71
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: Lisa and Feline and we will combine all of these

72
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: things together and we're going to make some fresh baba

73
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: ganoosh is what We're gonna make, delicious baba ganoosh. Get

74
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: the eggplant ready for the baba ganoosh. So to lead off,

75
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 1: we we do not buy that this ends anything. We don't.

76
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: It's not our first rodeo. We've been to the rodeo

77
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: a few times here and this is a campaign stop

78
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: by Justin Jefferson. At the diner. You know, it's like

79
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: you eat the half of tamali, eat half of tamali,

80
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and you promise you're gonna fix the infrastructure. Everything's gonna

81
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: be good. There have been presidential candidates that have lost

82
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: elections because they didn't know how to eat food. There

83
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: was a famous star I heard years ago, and I

84
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: was in school about guy ran for president reelection and

85
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: he lost votes because he went to eat tamali's and

86
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: he didn't know that you're supposed to take, you know,

87
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: unwrapped the tamali and are you kidding? Yeah, yeah, I

88
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: don't forget who I was years ago, but the guy

89
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: bit into the Tamali with the husk on the Tomali.

90
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, dumb Anyway, I don't know why that

91
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: popped into my head. It just random thought popped in

92
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: my head as I mentioned Tamale. And when you hear Tamali,

93
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: that's what I see it, Tomali. I hear Tomali. It

94
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: was Gerald Ford. By the way, how old that's like

95
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: the seventies, right, my seventies six? Holy crap? Okay, anyway,

96
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: all right, listen, but this is the public versus private

97
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: debate and all that stuff. It's weasel stuff, is what

98
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: I call pop goes Louise All thinking this story is over,

99
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: You're admitting you're glible. It's similar to believing that you

100
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: like what you hear in a in a press conference

101
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: is legit, Like these comments are a bedtime lullaby, Twinkle twinkle,

102
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: little star, public versus private. Yet again, and so this

103
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: is this is where you're smiling at the voters and

104
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: yet you're cutting deals in the back room. And you

105
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: don't torture your image. You do not tortu your image

106
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: with the fan base. Yeah, that's the rule number one.

107
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: So you say all the right things publicly and then

108
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: privately you take meetings and you're like, eh, I don't

109
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: know if I want to be here. I don't know

110
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: about that. And and listen, you look at jefferson situation.

111
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: He's being paid like an alph and with JJ McCarthy

112
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: at quarterback, he has turned into an omega. He had, now,

113
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: what's my evidence? Last nine games? Jefferson played the last

114
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: nine games. He had as many receiving touchdowns as I had,

115
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: and you had nothing. He had zero. As Jim Moore,

116
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: our old coach who used to work, he couldn't do

117
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: Diddley pooh in that offense getting in the end zone

118
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: and even after a relatively big game for the Vikings

119
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: to close out in losing. See they had a winning record,

120
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: they didn't make the pluffs which a losing season. So

121
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: had one hundred one yards on eight catches justin Jefferson,

122
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: and he still averaged four point one catches per game

123
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: and forty four point three yards per game the last

124
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: nine weeks of the regular season. That is not super stardom.

125
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: That is back up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, is

126
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: what that is. So the smart money says that the

127
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Pirates will be circling. The Pirates will be circling, and

128
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: keep your bingo card ready, and teams like the Chiefs

129
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: and the Chargers will be plundering at sea trying to

130
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: loot the Viking ship. What they will be doing, well,

131
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: we'll see what this happens. It's not over. It's just

132
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: whispering right now, just a little whispering. We'll keep an

133
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: eye it. Now to Buffalo, about to annoy Derek, the

134
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Monster and the Bill's Mafia. Guys that listen to

135
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: the show. Felexus, America's favorite drag queen, caller will not

136
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: be happy with me. But Josh Allen took the first

137
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: snap of the Bill's blowout win over the Jets. Suck, Suck, suck.

138
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: That extended his consecutive game started streak to one hundred

139
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: and twenty two. I believe is the number. And that

140
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: was it. He jogged off the field and said, my

141
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: time here is done. You other losers you get to play.

142
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: I am too important to risk my body and play

143
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: against the Jets.

144
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: And that was that.

145
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Backup Mitch Trubisky came in and took over. So the question,

146
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: are you okay with Bill's quarterback and former MVP's not

147
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: winning it this year? Are you okay with Bill's quarterback

148
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen extending his iron man streak by taking one snap?

149
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Not two, not three, not four, not five. I'm not

150
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: getting one snap. So the answer is a hard no

151
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: capital and capital.

152
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: Oh.

153
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: This was a banana peel moment for Josh Allen. He

154
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: slipped on the banana peel. Now, this is not the

155
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: first time he's done this. In fact, in many ways,

156
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: this has become standard operating procedure for Josh Allen. It

157
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: doesn't make it right. One snap, that's it. That's one

158
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: ceremonial toe dip into the pool. That's it. That's that's

159
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: not toughness that you think iron Man streak. It's like

160
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: getting a marathon on metal. For standing near the starting line,

161
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: they give you a medal congratulations on that. It's silly.

162
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: It's really in many ways fraud and loops. Just the

163
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: little loophole that you worked through, and it's like it belongs.

164
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: It's flimsy, belongs like something they would serve in a

165
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: store at Halloween, like Spirit Halloween, Like the costumes are

166
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: really not made with the greatest materials and all that stuff.

167
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: So and I'm not going to go stolen valor, although

168
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: you could argue that Brett Farve if he does break

169
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: the record, the real iron Man streak, the hard way,

170
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: was done by Brett farv or Farvara back in the

171
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: day when men were men, they had hair on their

172
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: chest and quarterbacks actually got hit the wussification of the NFL.

173
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Brett farv never think about this. He never took one

174
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: of these dopey ceremonial snaps, which which the quarterback of

175
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: the Bills, Josh Allen, is mastered. He never did a

176
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: one snap exit to extend his iron Man streak, Brett

177
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: far if he didn't do it. In fact, I remember

178
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: I may or may not have been working here. Don't

179
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: tell anybody, but the idea was floated late in his

180
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: career with the Minnesota Vikings. They said, hey, Bret, why

181
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: don't we just start you and that won't take you out?

182
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: And the Viking, I don't know, Fret Farv refused, but

183
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings said, we're not doing that. That's phony. Now

184
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: Here we are, all these years later, the Buffalo Bills

185
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: that we like phony. We love phony. We're the Buffalo Bills,

186
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: and we like bogus numbers. We do now. Brett Favre

187
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: streak ultimately did end because he couldn't play because he

188
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: injured his shoulder, not because he took a token snap

189
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen. And this was the total me guy move,

190
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: the total me guy moved by Josh Allen. Shameless stat padding.

191
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: Lebron was doing this with some of his records with

192
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,239
Speaker 1: the Lakers. It's embarrassing what it is protecting an irrelevant

193
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: record like it's the Mona Lisa at the Louver, Like

194
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: what do you do you read the room? If you're

195
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: streak your iron man streak needs legal gymnastics to keep

196
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: the thing going. It's not really a streak, it's not.

197
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: It's like a typo in the Media Guide, not that

198
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: they really make those anymore, the online Media Guide. All right,

199
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: last thing, the Felladelphia. We go where Fried Daddy hangs out,

200
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: and just across the Delaware River there you've got our

201
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: friend or the man, the myth legend, Jonathan and Delaware

202
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: they're all there. So Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, Fats and Phill.

203
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: You see Fats if you have to see the video

204
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: on X to celebrate over the holidays. Fats the legendary

205
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: Eagle fan member of the Mallain Militia. On a very

206
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: cold day, he did a plunge, an Arctic plunge into

207
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: the water there at his home, and he screamed my

208
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: name prior to that. It's it's literally if you go

209
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: to my Twitter or x page whatever, it's at the

210
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: very top. That's dedication. Fats is the guy during the

211
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: pandem that lit himself on fire and screamed the name

212
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: of the show while the draft was going on. He's

213
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: a he's an interesting character anyway. The Eagles, Nick Sirianni

214
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: was was not really worried about second guessing himself, because

215
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: coaches never second guessed themselves.

216
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: Uh, he was not.

217
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: The Eagles played their backups intentionally and then lost to

218
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: the Commanders. And now the reason this is the story

219
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: is that while Sirianni said, you know, I'm gonna I'm

220
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: gonna opt to rest my guys, the team had an

221
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the number two the number two seed

222
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: in the NFC, and well, I don't remember the gonna

223
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: deviate from my path, you know. The the Bears fell

224
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: behind and ultimately ended up losing to the Lions in Chicago, embarrassing,

225
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: embarrassed playing their starters. Now, the Eagles, if they had

226
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: won their game and the Bears ended up losing their game,

227
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: that would have pushed the Eagles into that number two

228
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: spot on your playoff card. But Sirianni says he doesn't

229
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: think that was fair to the players to have them

230
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: play in the second half. Oh, it's so good. We

231
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: are at the point now where it's not fair to

232
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: have the players play in the second alf, even though

233
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: it's there possibly their job to play in the second

234
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: It's so great. This NBA level bull crap is what

235
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: they says, oh, yeah, so we're going to manage the

236
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: load in the NBA. It's very important. Okay, Well now

237
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: they're doing it in the NFL. So the Eagles lost

238
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: the game, so they were not the number two seed. Instead,

239
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: they will play host to the forty nine ers that'll

240
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: be coming up this wild card weekend. So the question,

241
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni says he has no regrets about resting the

242
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Eagle starters even though they're healthy. He said, wow, the

243
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: bigger deals, they have to stay healthy. He says, that's

244
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: a bigger Give me your reaction to all of this.

245
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: So this was not I said, load management is really

246
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: not load management. It's a bad job by me. This

247
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: was feline capital, f feline coaching. Not a lion or

248
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: a tiger. No, no, this is this is not a

249
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: rag doll cat. It's not. This is a scaredy cat, scaredy, scaredy, scaredy.

250
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: There it is right there. This wasn't chess, it was checkers.

251
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: The pieces were glued to the board. Bad job by you.

252
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: You had a shot. Now you don't get a buy

253
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: as a number two seat. I understand that, and instead

254
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: you decide I don't even try. I'm gonna curl up

255
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: in the sunbeam and that's it. And football karma. If

256
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: you believe in ball, don't lie like Rashid Wallace back

257
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: in the day old basketball player. Then the Eagles should

258
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: lose to the forty nine ers. They should lose to

259
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: the forty nas because of the way they approached this here.

260
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: And so sirian is all about healthy. Oh, we have

261
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: to be healthy. That sounds a lot to me like

262
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: a coach that is afraid. And you could have gotten

263
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: conceivingly an extra home game. You know, we'll see how

264
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: this all shakes out. It's pretty wide open. It would

265
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: appear in the playoffs. And so he essentially told the

266
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: locker room, Nick Sirianni, you know, rather than get that

267
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: whole extra home game thing, well, just we'll deal with

268
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: that later. We'll just do we'll deal with that later.

269
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: It's the Hubris, the Hubris with a headset, and so

270
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: we'll see how this place. It's kind of like saying, hey,

271
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: we're smarter, we know the math, we know the numbers.

272
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: And of course your players can go out and get

273
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: injured brushing their teeth. They could jam the toothbrush into

274
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: the side of their mouth and then need dental work

275
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: and not be able to play. It's all about matchups.

276
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: It's all about the matchups and all that stuff. So

277
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: good luck, and here come the forty nine Ers who

278
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: lost their game, got smashed around by Seattle's defense over

279
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: the weekend. They are a physical team, seemingly will be

280
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: an angry team, and we'll see it now. Last time

281
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: the Ego and Niners played in the playoffs, I remember

282
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Rock Perdy got hurt on like the first series of

283
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: the game, and then Josh Johnson came in and he

284
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: couldn't play. He couldn't play. And so the Eagles also,

285
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: if this team comes out and they fall behind earlier

286
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: and they don't even play their starters in the playoffs,

287
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: I would assume so Nick Sirian is never gonna hear

288
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: the end of that. As a good player guy, don't

289
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: coach scared. That's coaching scared. I hate it. I've always

290
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: hated it. And so we'll see what happens with the

291
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: Eagles next week. The Rams played their starters and they

292
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: played them all the way into the fourth quarter and

293
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: they won. Shocking. Shocking anyway, It is the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 1: Malard Militia funer will take a bunch of your phone calls.

297
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: And did the Steelers have a higher power a cheat

298
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: code in their game against the Baltimore Ravens. Interesting story

299
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: bouncing around. We will get to that. Also the horse play.

300
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: It's horsey time. But is it legit? We'll get to

301
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: all that. We will do it next.

Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I.

643
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 7: Lost my focus listening to what just happened. I'm so sorry.

644
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 7: I was at the forty nine Ers Seahawks game yesterday.

645
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Actually oh okay, well that was not Yes, that would

646
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: be like on Saturday.

647
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 7: That would be the sorry West Coast time, just like

648
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 7: you guys.

649
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: Still it's Monday, it's Saturday.

650
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 7: Yeah anyway, Ben, what the you were talking?

651
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 11: Forty nine ers Eagle and I've had zero expectations for

652
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 11: the forty nine ers team since about week five?

653
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well when they lost all their players defensively, Yeah,

654
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: I understand.

655
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 11: Usually I've neurotic about the Niners and I couldn't even

656
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 11: tell you after starting defense right now?

657
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't either. And I supposedly have this as

658
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: my job. They got no names, but can they cover

659
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: the three and a half or the four? That's the question.

660
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 11: Are the Eagles favorites by three and a half?

661
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? The line the overnight, the opening line had the

662
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: Eagles favored by three and a half. I think it's

663
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: still three and a half. So it's that's where.

664
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 11: That'll that'll probably that'll probably go up. I wouldn't be

665
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 11: shocked to see the Niners go on and win.

666
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 7: And Fats and Philly.

667
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 11: You want you to know I hate you.

668
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: Oh, keep listening because he's he said he's calling me

669
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: up one night this week. Fat's in Philly.

670
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 7: So I listened every night and I have to say

671
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 7: something on the airwaves. It's gonna probably take the world

672
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 7: by storms. And it's two parts.

673
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 3: I love the.

674
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 11: Disdain in Lorena's voice. When Michael Lefrekhan.

Speaker 1: Really, oh man, I don't know. I mean, I don't

678
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: want to you know, why would why would you say that?

679
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about that. I mean, I'm

680
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: trying to do a nice show. I don't do you

681
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: want to hear about that. Danny DeVito. You don't want

682
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: to hear about that, the great Danny DeVito.

683
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 10: Ben Now, welcome back, Thank you, sir, Thank.

684
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: You, sir.

685
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I heard you picked the Ravens.

686
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 7: Is that right?

687
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: You picked the Ravens to win the whole thing. I

688
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: hope you didn't pick the Ravens. You didn't pick the

689
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: Ravens right that.

690
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 10: I was on your show when I did that. But

691
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 10: that's one of a thousand bets I got funny more,

692
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 10: Oh my bag, Yeah, that's going to happen. So I

693
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 10: was pretty impressed with that blond So remembering that from

694
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 10: six months ago, that's pretty impressive.

695
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: There all the time on, So he's got nothing else

696
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: going on, No.

697
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 10: Exactly right, So Ben, Uh, there's something wrong with a

698
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 10: team that's been based the best team all season long

699
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 10: and they're traveling on the road the Rams.

700
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: I can't every year.

701
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 10: It is a problem like that. And like you said,

702
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 10: the Panthers back to back year bad team, and uh,

703
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 10: the Rams. They're basically punished in the Rams. I don't

704
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 10: know if you want to know that.

705
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: These they got to change the rule. They've been talked

706
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: about this. They've been a bunch of teams I think

707
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: it's just been a handful of It seems like a bunch.

708
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: That's a bunch, right fives, A bunch that have made

709
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs with losing records and then they get the

710
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: home game. It's always almost always the NFC South, right.

711
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: They the Carolina sent it twice, Atlanta did it. I

712
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: think Tampa did it one year they were under five

713
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: hundred and.

714
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 10: Made the PLAYOFFSA did it, yes, and Ben the MVP

715
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 10: of the league is Drake May.

716
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: It's got to be better.

717
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be closed. It's not. It's

718
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: not a lock. It's a pigeons plit a terrible schedule,

719
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: and Stafford led the NFL in touchdowns and yardage and

720
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: all that, and so he's the better store Stafford's. It's

721
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: not decided it.

722
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 8: I agree.

723
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 10: But if you take Drake May out of that lineup

724
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 10: and you're putting Josh talks, come on, you know, if
