1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: How do you do? It's our number one, hour one

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,559
Speaker 1: and all. What fun we're about to have as we

Speaker 1: kick off a brand new week on the Ben Malors Show.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,840

Speaker 1: you had a great start to honik if you celebrate that.

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: But here in our number one, we start with that

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. How does this performance or lack thereof

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: change things for Cowboys Wide receiver George Pickens, who had

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: yet another quiet night at the office. Also, did quarterback

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy play his way out of the Vikings dungeon

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: and his Minnesota gets the road win playing the role

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: of spoiler? And the big story all about snap crackle

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: pop of the Patrick Mahomes, Micah Parsons and DeVante Adams injuries.

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Which one is the biggest? Now this is not a list,

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: it's more of a big board, more of a big board.

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: But that's coming up here in our number one here

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: it is, Well, if you thought the Cowboys were going

00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: to stay alive in the NFC playoff picture, uh yeah,

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: the last rites quite not quite there, but just about

Speaker 1: We'll help you. Had a great weekend, We are back

50
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: at it again here all week no days off. If

51
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: you heard the podcast this weekend, you got a brief

52
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: preview of coming attractions. But enough of that, it's get

53
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: right into it. Don't waste any time, Do not waste

54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: any time. So our lead this hour from Jerry's World.

55
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: That's where're going to start the Dallas Divas in Action

56
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: hosting the Purple People Eaters. And I mean lying if

57
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: I said the game had any juice. There was really

58
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: no juice in the game other than the fact that

59
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: you just put the Cowboys on TV. They could be

60
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: peeling oranges and people would watch. They could be chopping

61
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: up onions like a line cook and just people would

62
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: be watching. It didn't matter. So he had Chris Collinsworth

63
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: and Mike Tarrico an Island game. They had the call

64
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: on the peacock there and b se. So I don't

65
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: know if you watched it or not. Maybe you were

66
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: not watching. You were burned out from the other events

67
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: of the day and you did not watch that. We

68
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: are somewhat, I don't know, directly paid to watch, but

69
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: if we don't watch it, kind of what are we doing.

70
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: So we watched and Red Shirt rookie JJ McCarthy looking

71
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: like he actually kind of knew what he was doing

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's not get crazy though. He threw

73
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, he ran for a score and

74
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: the great CJ. Ham just in time for the Christmas holiday. CJ.

75
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Ham had the go ahead touchdown on his first carry

76
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: of the season. That's good efficiency there. And the Minnesota

77
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Vikings put a giant dent in the Jerry Mobile Jerry

78
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: Jones playoff hopes there with a thirty four to twenty

79
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: six victory over the one proud Dallas Cowboys. They say

80
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: once proud. That was back thirty years ago. They really

81
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: haven't been proud since then. The Vikings get to their

82
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: six wins, their six and eight sub five hundred. They

83
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: win their second consecutive game, and they were eliminated, see

84
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 1: you later, Bye bye, nada na na, hey hey, good bye.

85
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Eliminated from postseason consideration before the kickoff of this game.

86
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: But they didn't have a pity party. They didn't say,

87
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: oh woe is me, We've been eliminated. And they went

88
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: out there, they played that game. They played the game,

89
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: and they ended up well winning but still losing in

90
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: the end. So Minnesota was a fourteen win team a

91
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: year ago, and now they do not qualify for the postseason.

92
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Now the Cowboys six seven and one, they have to win.

93
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: Check this out. You want to just eliminate the Cowboys

94
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: for God's sake, This is what the Cowboys have. So

95
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: in order for them to make the playoffs, they have

96
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: to win their three remaining games and then in addition,

97
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: but wait, there's more. They need the Philadelphia Eagles to

98
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: lose all three of their games in order for Dallas

99
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: to overtake the Eagles in the NFC East Philly. Mind you,

100
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: they do play Buffalo, However, the other two games are

101
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: against the Washington Commanders. Hello, yeah, so good luck on that.

102
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: Here is the owner and he's the GM. You like

103
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: the team so much you bought it. Here is Jerry

104
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: Jones commenting on another lost Cowboys season.

105
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: Takea was We certainly didn't think we'd be here in

106
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: this kind of shape with three games to go and

107
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: help be behind the eight ball the way we are,

108
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: it's very disappointing. I'm really obviously very disappointed for our fans.

109
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed for these players. I didn't expect that. I

110
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: thought we could come out here and on both sides

111
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: of the ball make a better accounting of our South

112
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: Minnesota did the best job out there today on both

113
00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: sides of Well.

114
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me translate that for those of you

115
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: who are a little slow. That's Jerry's way of saying

116
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: we blow. That's his way of saying that. So that

117
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: is a good starting point to this, And I think

118
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the jumping off point would be George Pickens because that's

119
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: the subplot to this. George Pickens was there, he played

120
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: and did next to nothing. And this continues a recent

121
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: theme for George Pickens as the Cowboys wide receiver who

122
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: was the toast of the town a little while back,

123
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: but not anymore. So let us discuss the question is this,

124
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: how does this performance change things for the Cowboys wide

125
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: receiver George Pickens going forward? So I got Warren Buffett,

126
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: tea spoon, and wagon wheel, and we will combine all

127
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make

128
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: some delicious cornbread. Is what we're going to make with

129
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: the proper amount of a nice warm butter on top.

130
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: That sounds like a delicious meal to me. Well, not

131
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: a meal. It's a corn bread. It's not a meal,

132
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: but it's in addition to a meal. It's an add on.

133
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: It enhances the dining experience, properly made cornbread. So the

134
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: way we'll start, and obviously this changes things. It continues

135
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: to change things big time, big, big, big time for

136
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: a few weeks. For a few weeks, George Pickens was,

137
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: I guess I imposter syndrome. Is that the way you

138
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: discover he was playing like a legitimate number one wide receiver,

139
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: number one in the entire NFL. There and Jerry Jones

140
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: was out on his radio shows every week, very braggadocious.

141
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: Jerry was celebrating how good George Pickens was and really,

142
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, congratulating himself in many ways for making the

143
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: deal to acquire George Pickens. Many Cowboy fans they're not

144
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: that bright. I can't believe. How do we get this

145
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: guy for a couple of late traffers. I don't understand. Well,

146
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: now you're stand dummy. Now you get it, dummy. That's

147
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: why he was available, George Pickens. That's exactly why George Pickens.

148
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: You could have gotten him for a cup of sand,

149
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: which is what the cowboys gave up to get George Pickens.

150
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: This is it, you know, bragging and all that stuff.

151
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: He pulled his shoulder muscle, Jerry Jones did, patting himself

152
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: on the back. He was so proud of himself. Full

153
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: on navel gazing from Jerry Jones. And now fast forward

154
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and all of a sudden, the

155
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: costume is off. And as Warren Buffett famously said, back

156
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: in the day, when the tide goes out, you see

157
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: who's swimming naked, And we now know, we now know

158
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: that's Pickts and Stark naked there in Jerry Jones on

159
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: the shoreline, right there in Jerry's world, and Mike Tomlin

160
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: somewhere in the Greater Pittsburgh area, yet again taking a

161
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: victory lap for the pitt sparg Steelers. There they play

162
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football against the Miami Dolphins, and Tomlin

163
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: doing a victory lap. They're sticking his tongue out and

164
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: going no, no, no, no, boo boo, just like that.

165
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he's doing. And all the other haters

166
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: there told you so. The last three games, George Pickens

167
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: has caught fifty percent of his passes, just fourteen catches

168
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: in three games, one hundred and fifty eight yards, no touchdowns,

169
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: and has gotten worse by the week. If you look

170
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: at the diagram, down down down, down, down down down,

171
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: just like that, just like that, and not a weapon,

172
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: not a weapon, doing little cardio. I haven't get my

173
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: workout in it's on television. Do a little cardio. And

174
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: not even a decoy. He's not even involved enough as

175
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: a decoy. He's not that. At this point. George Pickens

176
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: is a ship. He's a ghost ship, is what he is.

177
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: An empty vessel, just kind of drifting aimlessly on the

178
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: Jerry World Sea and just kind of floating along there. Now,

179
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: the bottom line, he's not in the bubble of trust.

180
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: Can not be in the bubble of trust, not even close.

181
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're the Cowboys and Jerry Jones,

182
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: he runs the show. It's his world, as we all know,

183
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: it's his world. So Jerry Jones, you can't you can't

184
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: extend this guy, You can't trust him. Cannot do it.

185
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: Now.

186
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: You give him a one year deal or something like that,

187
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: but any more than that, forget about it. Forget about it.

188
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Are now on the Minnesota side of things. The question,

189
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: and it's a burning question, did quarterback JJ McCarthy play

190
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: his way out of the Vikings Dungeon? Did he play

191
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: out of the Vikings Dungeon? That's the question. So I

192
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: would say not quite is the way I would approach that,

193
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: because he's got one foot out of the cell JJ

194
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: McCarthy at this point. The rest of his body, though,

195
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: is still chained to the wall on the brig. If

196
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you feel me on that?

197
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: All right? So the good news is, and I will

198
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: be Benny Brightside, great listeners in the Twin Cities. I

199
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: would you have any right side here that if you

200
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: look at this JJ McCarthy's his Viking ship the ship

201
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: ain't be sinking at this moment. It's not sinking. The

202
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: bad news. See, that's the good news. The ship is

203
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: not sinking. The bad news is there's still bailing water

204
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: out and all they have is a tea spoon. And

205
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: so it's the odds are not good. The odds are

206
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: not good here and McCarthy finally showing a bit of

207
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: a pulse. We thought he was completely gone, completely gone.

208
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: That not the case. There was. There's a bit of

209
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: a flicker. Do we go full spark? I don't know

210
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: that we want to go full spark. I'm not ready

211
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: to go full spark. I can't go full spark. Not

212
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: gonna go full spark. Will not do full spark, Not

213
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen, not full spark. Sorry no. And here's the

214
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: he's he's drifting out McCarthy of the Purple Haze, like

215
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: a groggy boxer making it to his knees in that

216
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: scene in every boxing movie, we make it to your

217
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: knees and write for the ten count, and the referees

218
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: all sweaty and leans in to count you out, and

219
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: then you kind of get up a little bit. That's

220
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: McCarthy at this point. However, let's not throw a parade

221
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: right in front of hollering James Group home in the

222
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: Greater Minneapolis area there because this came against the last

223
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: couple of games commanders who really looked spent. I mean

224
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: they just looked the bad anyway, And they played an

225
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: overtime game of the Broncos the week prior, and then

226
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: this Cowboy team a couple of defenses. If you were

227
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: to say, what is the the toughness level of the

228
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense and the Commander's defense, it's very similar to coolwip.

229
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: If you've ever tried to stop a train with cool

230
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: whip it you need a lot of coolhip to stop

231
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: the train, like a ton of cool web. It's a problem.

232
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: It is. So anyways, and there's there's still some warning

233
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: flares out there, several of them for JJ McCarthy here

234
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: that are shining shooting off into the night sky and

235
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: you're like, well, what's going on with that McCarthy. And

236
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: the big one for me is you have the top

237
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the game. You all told me that

238
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy gets to throw the ball to Justin Jefferson.

239
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's a total stud. He's being paid

240
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: like a total stud and yet they're speaking different languages.

241
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Someone needs to get them a Rosetta stone because it's

242
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: not good. Mister wonderful, I mean justin Jefferson had two

243
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: catches for eight on two keys on eight targets. He

244
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: had twenty two yards but eight targets. That means six

245
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: of the targets did not connect if my mal or

246
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: math is correct on that, which is essentially the witness

247
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: protection level witness protection level statline. The Vikings went two

248
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: for nine on third down. Kevin O'Connell treated the passing

249
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: game like it was radioactive for the Vikings only twenty

250
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: four pass attempts. That's it, and it worked a full

251
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: game in modern in NFL football, will you play hide

252
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: and seek with your quarterback? You know what? That reminds

253
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: me of Jim Harball when he was coaching at Michigan,

254
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, it's progress. For JJ McCarthy, it is progress,

255
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: but it's baby steps in mid December, which is kind

256
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: of like learning to crawl during a marathon, Like that's

257
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: usually not how that goes. You're not supposed to be

258
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: doing that, but here we are, and so's it's desperation.

259
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: They got to find a lot from McCarthy the next

260
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: few weeks, or they're going to go back to market,

261
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: they being the Vikings, and try to get somebody else

262
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: in there. And so it's not really growth, it's just

263
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: there's something else going on there. And the dungeon door

264
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: is cracked, as we said, for McCarthy, and you know,

265
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: he's still kind of hearing the jailer's keys jinglin a

266
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: little bit there on the side, and it's not great.

267
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: All right now, last word, let's just get right to

268
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: the story of the weekend. If there's one word that

269
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: would sum up the Sunday in the NFL, it would

270
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: be the I word, as in injury, Yes, injury and

271
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: the man alive. What a hot mess that was the

272
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: Three Musketeers. He had quarterback Patrick Mahomes the snap suffered

273
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: a torn acl and that's it. That's all she wrote.

274
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: He's out for the year. Only a few weeks. Togo

275
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been eliminated. The Green Bay Packers lost star

276
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: edge rusher Micah Parsons shortly after Mahomes went down. Parsons

277
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: went down. That's the crackle. NFL's highest paid non quarterback,

278
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: highest paid defensive player in the NFL he tore his

279
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: ACL he's out for the year. And wide receiver Davonte Adams.

280
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: The hammy went whammy for the Rams, although the injury

281
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: report not as bad as the other two. Here the

282
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: Hollywood style kind of like NFL injury. In Hollywood, they

283
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: say celebrity DEAs. Rule of three is the theme there.

284
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: One star dies, two more ten to follow and that's

285
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: how the common wisdom goes. Apparently with NFL injuries it's

286
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: a similar thing. So the question of the three, you've

287
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes, Michael Parsons and Davonte Adams, three big names,

288
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: household names in the NFL, if you care about football,

289
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: all hurt which one is the biggest? So I preface

290
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: this for Terry and England. We do not do lists.

291
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: We do not believe in list on this show, as

292
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: Terry knows, and he's the gatekeeper of that. We don't

293
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: do list. But on Big Ben's Big Board, which is

294
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: not a list, as Shanon de Moine knows, not a list.

295
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: But on Big Ben's Big Board, here's how it shakes out.

296
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: So at number three, DeVante Adams coming in at number

297
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: three here, and we mentioned the hammy went whammy for

298
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: Devonte Adams. But it's not a season ending injury, at

299
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: least not at this point. So they'll attempt, the Rams

300
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: to rub some dirt on it. They'll try to rub

301
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: some dirt on it, and then they'll duct tape the

302
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: hammy and then after that they'll put some icy hot

303
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: on it, give it a couple of advil, and then

304
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: call it aday, call it a day after that. So

305
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: that's the plan there. It is code read for the Rams.

306
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: They going to Seattle, and that's a very beatable team

307
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: with Seattle. How embarrassing was that Seattle needing a late

308
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: field goal to beat Grandpa at quarterback? Holy crap. Seattle's

309
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: worse than I thought. By the way, if they had

310
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: to they need a field goal, their top three defensive

311
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: guys were out and they had forty four year old

312
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: The Colts had forty four year old mister Rivers out

313
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: there and they still had to lead in the final second. Unbelievable.

314
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: How bad is that Seattle team is? But anyway, the

315
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: Rams going to Seattle, and the secret weapon for the

316
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: Rams this year has been in the red zone. Devonte

317
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Adams has been the man, the myth, the legend, and

318
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: so now more pressure on Puka Nukua to get her

319
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: done there. They still have a bunch of torpedoes, the rams,

320
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: so they should be all right. At number two, Patrick mahomey,

321
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: have we done a wellness check on keg our keg

322
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: drinking friend in Kansas City? No? So, Patrick Mahomes tore

323
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: to acl season cooked burnt toast for Kansas City. The

324
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs were already moving like the drunk uncle at the

325
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: wedding and Patrick Mahomes sending the season to the well.

326
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: He was out by the time the season ended, but

327
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: they weren't winning that game anyway. So Patrick Mahomes there

328
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: will spend his off season getting a lot of quality

329
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: time with rehab clinics in Kansas City and wherever he

330
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: travels to and all that, and they'll stitch him back

331
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: together and they'll give him some terminator parts and some

332
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: wizard dust and he'll be back and we'll likely miss

333
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: half of next season. Though this is gonna spill over

334
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: based on what I've been hearing, this is gonna spill over.

335
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: Just on timeline, Mahomes will not be ready to go

336
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: next September when the NFL season kicks off. At Mahomes

337
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: Magic that hocus pocus, the abra cadabra uh temporarily unplugged.

338
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: And again that leaves us with number one. That would

339
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: be Micah Parsons and Michael Parsons. That injury, and I

340
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: don't want to be too dramatic. That is a kick

341
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: to the testicles for the green Bay Packers. Uh it is.

342
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: That's a right to the cheese kurds for green Bay.

343
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: They went out of character. They went out of character.

344
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay. They decide we're gonna do somebody almost never do.

345
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna go all in this season. We're gonna trade

346
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: some draft picks, and we're gonna get the player and

347
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: pay him the highest contract ever given to a defensive player.

348
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: Michah Parsons, you shot, You shoot your shot. They shot

349
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: their shot there, and they put Micah Parsons right in

350
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: the center of the wagon wheel, right there in the middle,

351
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the wagon wheel. And now

352
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: the wagon wheel is sinking in the quicksand outside Sherboygan.

353
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: It's not it's not going very well at this point.

354
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: So the whole advantage that you had where you all

355
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: love to brag to me when Parsons would have a

356
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: bad game, I would point that out, and the Packer

357
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: stockholders would get very upset with me, and they said, well,

358
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: you know it's because he's getting double teamed. Okay, well

359
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: you know I have to worry about that. No more

360
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: double teams, no more fear, no more chaos on that

361
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: side there, that's all down the drain there, Michael Parsons,

362
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: he's out, and a year of Parsons prime, a year

363
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: of his prime wasted. And it's also a dead giveaway

364
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: that this is an indictment on Jordan Love, that Jordan

365
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Love is simply not good enough. That that's really the lesson.

366
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: Based on what I've been hearing from the Packer stockholders

367
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: out there, they're like, we're cooked. Now, if you had

368
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: a truly great quarterback, you could make up for that.

369
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: You could Jordan Love could play out of his mind

370
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: bonkers football for a month and could win a championship.

371
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: And as he showed late against the Denver Broncos, he's

372
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: not that guy. You're not that guy, pal, You're not

373
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: that guy. And he can't carry the team. And so

374
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: really the Packers are they're double cooked because now on

375
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: the Parson is going to be out. Also part of

376
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: next year, you also got a quarterback and you've given

377
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: a decent amount of money to who's not an alpha,

378
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: he's an omega. That's problematic. And so as for the

379
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: people claiming it's not fair, oh my god, it's not fair.

380
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: Stop star power. It happens, Guys get hurt. This is

381
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: why it's not flag football. Even though the NFL would

382
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: love for this to be flag football. People get hurt

383
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: in that anyway. The NFL regular season, again, this is

384
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: the way I was taught. Oh, you're old, malor it was.

385
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: It was, hey, a war of attrition, Like, you play

386
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: the regular season with integrity, you play it to your fullestability.

387
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: And then oftentimes the team that wins the championship is

388
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: the one that has the fewest injuries. And so that's

389
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: really what this is. Green Bay is not going to

390
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: be that team. They're not. It sucks Rocks. I mean,

391
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: there's no question it sucks Rocks and all that. You're

392
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: not dealing with robots, even robots would get hurt. You're

393
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: dealing with plausibly human beings, and so there's no load management.

394
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: If it's with the NBA, then Michael Parsons wouldn't have played.

395
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 1: He would have just waited to the playoffs because that's

396
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: what NBA ballers do, right then, don't want to play.

397
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: God forbid we play, we might hurt ourselves. So that's

398
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: not yet fully the mindset in the NFL, and I'm

399
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,920

440
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: Steve is more into tabloids and the chiefs. That is true, actually, Yeah,

441
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: that is true, keg drinking Steve. I have noticed that

442
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: since the Chiefs started getting mediocre this year, he's been

443
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: more worried about what People Magazine and US Weekly and

444
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: The New York Post have been saying about Travis Kelsey.

445
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: He says, with Kansas City out of the playoffs, pressure

446
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: is now on Buffalo to make the Super Bowl this year.

447
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, David writes and says Superman Josh Allen

448
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: continues to showcase his amazing tools have made him a

449
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: great quarterback. Sounds like he's written by Ai. Buffalo just

450
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: needed a stout defense to be truly dangerous, just needs

451
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: a stout defense. Well, they don't have that. So what

452
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: they do have is they don't have to play Joe Burrow.

453
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: They don't have to play Patrick Mahomes, and it would

454
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: appear barring. We'll see what happens here last couple weeks.

455
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: There's a good chance that the Ravens on they went

456
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: big on Sunday against the Bengals, the Ravens don't make

457
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs see King Rory Rights Since says, even though

458
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: the injury bug helped the Broncos beat the Packers, I

459
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: am not too concerned. For them. The Packers will still

460
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and can only pray that momentum can

461
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: become a real thing if they want to go on

462
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: a long playoff run. Yeah, well again, King Roy, you

463
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: know my position. I'm momentum. You're trying to trigger me.

464
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fall for the trig. It's not gonna happen.

465
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: So deal with that bagel boy right since its excellent monologue. However,

466
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots not done yet. Bro Okay, I didn't Did

467
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: I say the Patriots were done? I don't know. I

468
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: said that Patriots were done. I said that it's not

469
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: a great performance when you blow a twenty one to

470
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: nothing lead. Terry in England writes and says, good to

Speaker 1: sign your talk show host is lazy when they do

478

Speaker 1: when they do all those toffs, it's uh yeah, listen.

479
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that do radio because it's

480
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: easy and you know, you don't have to put a

481
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: lot of work into it. And they're exposed every holiday

482
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: season when they do the same evergreen topics because they

483
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: don't want to do any preparations, so they just go

484
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: in there say all right, let's let's see who inviting

00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: that fine stuff. Big Rig Rob writes in from the

487

Speaker 1: Great Pacific Northwest. He says the shot in Freude has

488
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: reached the ultimate high. As the chiefs de nasty Croaks.

489
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: The raiders failed to break one hundred yards of total

490
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: offense and almost a trifecta with a narrow escape by

491
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: the the she Hacks against the old man Rivers. I

492
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: got work at four am, but I had to hear

493
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: the A plus Mallard monologue. Well we thank you, big

494
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: rig Rob. Go to get a little nap in there

495
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: before you have to get to work. Mikey Cano, don't

496
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, says we were only down by thirty one

497
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: Mather we ran out of time seven oh two mafia.

498
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: I saw Pete Carroll, and I like Pete. I like Pete,

499
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: that's a tough hill to die on. As Pete got

500
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: on the microphone and was talking about how hard the

501
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: Raiders played, did Pete watch the game? What was he

502
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: doing during the game? What was doing? Now? You said

503
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: how the Raiders suck and they had Kenny Pickett? And

504
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: that is true. It is my belief that the margin

505
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: between the top team in the NFL and whoever you

506
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: think the worst team, maybe that is the Raiders. Who

507
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: do you think the worst team is in the end

508
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: right now is the Giants? Is not that big where

509
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: one team should have twenty more first downs and one

510
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: team should have three hundred more yards passing. This is

511
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: like a D one football team versus a triple A team.

512
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Is ridiculous, absolutely embarrassing, Like did they even practice there?

513
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett average two point six yards per pass? The

514
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: greatness of the Raiders. Let's go to the phones and

515
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: we'll say hello to Let's start out with the great

516
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Danny DeVito, America's favorite trash man in the greater Boston area.

517
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: Did he win money or lose money this week? Let's

518
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: find out right now. Hello Danny, welcome Ben.

519
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: Now what's going on? It was a good week? It

520
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 3: was the great week every time. You wouldn't money it's

521
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: a good week, as.

522
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, Yes it is. Yes, it is not a

523
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: great week for me. There are a couple of games

524
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: that flipped that did not go well. I lost the Lions.

525
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: I took the Lions plus the points I was getting six.

526
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: They lost by seven. That one stung a little bit.

527
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: But you know, watch that on Benny Versus the Penny

528
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: on YouTube. But it was not a not a great week.

529
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers had a huge lead. They gave

530
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: up a garbage time score to the Titans, so that

531
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: one stung.

532
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: Also, Oh they did. I didn't know.

533
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: I was.

534
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: I thought watching that, I thought it was all over.

535
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: Well it was. It was well I was thirteen, I

536
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: was thirteen and a half. Right, that was the line.

537
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: I believe it was thirt.

538
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: The heavy stay spread.

539
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they then I was one by thirteen. Then I

540
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: was won by thirteen. So they and they were, they

541
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: were up thirty seven to seventeen. I believe it wasn't long.

542
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: Their doors offul good portion of that game and they

543
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: started pull away. And how about the pay shoots. Ben,

544
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: you're up by twenty one at home, you have tows

545
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: that game. I know shosh Allen, he's he's a guy

546
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: in the regular season that goes crazy. He's not so

547
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: good in the playoffs. But and you know, you have

548
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 3: to close it out. You're up by twenty one points

549
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: and they blow that game. I almost set the Patriots,

550
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: and I changed my mind on that. I took the

551
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: total in that game, so I saved money there. I

552
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 3: took the OVA.

553
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's another game. And on Benny versus the penny,

554
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: I took the Patriots. I thought all right at home

555
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: and Buffaloes had issues on the road, divisional game, all

556
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: that stuff, and when they were up twenty one nothing,

557
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm in really good shape. But

558
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: I know anytime I'm about you know, when you're up early, Danny,

559
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: you're waiting for something's gonna fall apart. You know, something's

560
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: gonna Know if you if you're doing very well in

561
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: the first half of all those early games, you're just

562
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: waiting for the avalanche. Oh yeah, oh yeah, one hundred percent.

563
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: You know.

564
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could be winning every game and you know

565
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose at least two or three of them.

566
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: You know that's gonna happ.

567
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, always happens. Yeah, what you know, how about Philip Rivers? Ben,

568
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: how about having this guy throw the ball? I had

569
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: to total in that game, and I knew after the

570
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: first quarter it was gonna happen have him throw the

571
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: ball least.

572
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Well, you you you thought they were gonna throw the ball.

573
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: Why would you think they were gonna throw the ball?

574
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I mean you're bringing a guy like that.

575
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: I know he's he's the old man now calls leave.

576
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: But he can't throw, he can't run, he can't move,

577
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: but he can.

578
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: Still well he definitely he can't move. Uh but you know,

579
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: you had to think going in they were just gonna

580
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: run the ball and occasionally throw on third and long

581
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: and things like that. And they they didn't throw past

582
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmers, did they. I didn't see him

583
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: when I was watching.

584
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: No, he only had a couple of throws that are

585
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: like twenty yards and more.

586
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: Talk and he's still he always had this with the Chargers,

587
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: but that hurky jerky kind of delivery, and it's it's

588
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: not yeah.

589
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: He still has that. Yeah, he still has that. And

590
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: then uh, Ben, how about you know there's some real

591
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: bad teams guys already mentioned won the Raiders. What are

592
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: these teams gonna do? The Raiders, the Jets, I mean,

593
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 3: they getting blow mcconnells. These team's just getting blown out

594
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: of the water right in the first quarter. It's all over.

595
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: They can't even hang with these teams and the spreads,

596
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 3: so you know, they're so heavy, I know, I know, well,

597
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: you know.

598
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: It shows you who's got pride in performance and who doesn't.

599
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: The teams, you know, Cardinals are quitters, the Raiders are quitters.

600
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: They're gutless. That's what that is. I mean, and really

601
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to you. And whether they

602
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: want to admit it or not, you should never get

603
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: blown out like this. It just shows you that the

604
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: whole operation is fundamentally broken in Vegas. Tom Brady a

605
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: disaster as an owner. He's the he's the guy calling

606
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: the shots there. That's it's a Bengals quit against Baltimore.

607
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Let's call that. When they call them out to the Bengals,

608
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: they didn't show up. So hell, this is the time

609
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: of the year, Danny, that the teams that the guys

610
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: that want to compete and put a little fight into it.

611
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: And I'll give that. Minnesota as a team that's going nowhere,

612
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: but they put some fight into it and they competed.

613
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: New Orleans is a crappy team, but they were at home.

614
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: They competed in their game. They gave it a shot

615
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: and uh and then a bunch of these Jets gave up.

616
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: They suck they didn't try.

617
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 3: Oh brutal, you know, I give you a credit. So

618
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: I don't care anybody trashing Brady about the team.

619
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: Man, nothing, well, because you can't. You can't, man, you

620
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: can't rip Brady's protect He's in a protected class. You

621
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: won't be allowed. Yeah, exactly, all right, Dad, I gotta go.

622
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: You've been on there for ten minutes. My god, all right,

623
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: thank you, go away. All right, there's the great Danny

624
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: de Vito there checking in. So some high drama. One

625
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: thing the Cowboys are good at is drama. Football not

626
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: very good at drama, very good. So one of the

627
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys is a name because the family. He got a

628
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: he's got a brother playing for the pitchers, Trevon Diggs.

629
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: It would appear he's not gonna be on the Dallas

630
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys next season. He was what's called a healthy scratch

631
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: in the game on Sunday night. He was inactive now,

632
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: I say healthy scratch because Trevon Diggs said he was

633
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: ready to go and ready to play, and as of

634
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: Friday he said he was certain he was gonna play

635
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: Sunday night. He had practiced all week, he was included

636
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: in the game plan, and then over the weekend they said, psych,

637
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: you're not playing. And so Diggs stood on the sidelines

638
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: the like numb nuts, and he was wearing his street

639
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: clothes and was wandering around there watching the Minnesota Vikings

640
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: beat the Dallas Cowboys, and he said he'd pretty much

641
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: said listen, I was ready to go. I thought, he said,

642
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: I thought I was playing. And then he said, it

643
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: is what it is, which is like the F you.

644
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: And when you say it is what it is, that's

645
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: f you. That's what that means. It's a universally known now.

646
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones stated after the game that Stefon Diggs quote

647
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: isn't healthy enough to play for us. He's not healthy

648
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: enough for us to put him out there, even though

649
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: Diggs claimed he was healthy and he did practice all week.

650
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: So someone is not telling the truth. I'm gonna go

651
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones not telling the truth. That's what I'm

652
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna go with because if he was medically cleared to practice,

653
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: Diggs and he practiced all week and he was included

654
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: in the game plan. You know this is not You

655
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: don't have to have a a be a mensa to

656
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: figure this out. It's not that hard. Yeah, Jerry's looking

657
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: for that glory hole is what he's looking for. And

658
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: trying to circumcise the mosquito is what he's trying to do.

659
