Early in the day, 39 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: I made my first look around, so wrap around round Robin. 40 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, what's going on. There's really 41 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: nothing that's like a lead story. I mean, there's things 42 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: that are interesting to me, but there's really nothing that's 43 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: like a lead store. And then it dropped from the 44 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: football heavens, what are we talking about? The voting booth? 45 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: Our lead from the voting booth. Here some stunning news. 46 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: Stunner from down under, as we have learned the Pro 47 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame ballot box, like American elections, there's 48 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: some funny business that goes on in the election. So 49 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: if you did not see the electoral process, of course 50 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: you didn't because it didn't. It's a secret vote. It's 51 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: like do you see white? Smoke is the white? It's 52 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: like this is there a new pope? Well, if you 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: did not hear by now, and it's possible that you 54 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: are stuck in some kind of time warp. So we've 55 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: learned that Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn't make the cut. 56 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick will not will not be a first ballot 57 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer, And that really is thus 58 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: stunner from down despite not one, not two, not three, 59 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: not four, not five, six super Bowl winning teams that 60 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: he guided as a head coach and another couple as 61 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: an assistant for Bill Parcells. Bill Belichick fell short of 62 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: the threshold he needed to get to over forty votes, 63 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: and forty was the number he had to get the 64 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: forty so he did not get there. He fell short 65 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: of the forty out of fifty votes needed to get 66 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: in and be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of 67 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Fame during his first year of eligibility, so that did 68 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: not happen. Belichick, we are told, received a call from 69 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: some hack at the Hall of Fame last week with 70 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: the news that hey, Bell, I know you're like the 71 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: greatest coach in the Internet world and all that stuff, 72 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: but I'm sorry, you not good enough for our little 73 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Not right now, sorry now. Belichick said 74 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: to be puzzled and disappointed. He was not discombobulated that 75 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: word was not used, but puzzled and disappointed by his 76 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: inability to procure the support that he needed to get 77 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He needed at 78 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: least eighty percent of the committee member's handpicked hacks who 79 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: vote for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So that 80 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss this 81 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: is a polarizing issue, a polarizing issue. So the obvious question, 82 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: as we discussed the obvious question is why why did 83 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: Patriots legend Bill Belichick not procure enough votes to reach 84 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: the threshold to get into the Pro Football Hall of 85 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: Fame on his first time on the ballot. So I've 86 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: got playing cards, Olympic medal, and haberdasherie, and we will 87 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going 88 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: to make a meat ball HOGI, which Belichick can choke 89 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: on the met ball HOGI because he's not going to 90 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: can Ohio, not this year for the Pro Football Hall 91 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: of Fame. So my first thought on this is, this 92 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: wasn't really a vote, brother, This was a hit job. 93 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: This was a hit job, an inside job by the 94 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: cabal that votes for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, 95 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: a backroom deal, smoky cigar smoke that's in my head. 96 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: It's likely done on zoom now, but in my head, 97 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: it's a smoky room that smells like whiskey from the 98 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. And they all sit around at some roadside 99 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: motel and they go over who gets in, who's on 100 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: the cool kids list, and who's not on the cool 101 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: kids list, And it's weak sauce dressed up as process. 102 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: It's the process. You got to go through the process. Now, 103 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: as we understand it, all roads lead to one place, 104 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: Bill Poullion. Bill, And if you're old, you know who 105 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: that is. If you're not old, you might not know 106 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: who Bill Pollyon is. He's got a long memory and 107 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: longer grudges, longer grudges. So this goes back to the 108 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: salad days when the Colts and the Patriots at one 109 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: point they were in the same division, and it was 110 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: trench warfare when those teams got together in the glory 111 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: days of the Patriots, and they would go back and forth, 112 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: and Bill Pollon came up on the wrong side most 113 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: of the time. Most of the time when the Patriots 114 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: played a Bill Pollon team, the Patriots ended up winning, 115 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: and certainly the games that mattered. And Poleon decided to 116 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: go open up the playing cards and he used the 117 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: spigate card from the bottom of the deck, blood instrument 118 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: like a baseball bat, to bludgeon Belichick. Bill Pollion bludgeon Belichick. 119 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: So this is theater. It is not kabuki theater. It 120 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: is revenge theater by Bill polly As we understand it, 121 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: Poleon did not need evidence, He did not need nuance 122 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: or context. You don't need any of that one word 123 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: you say that one with Chada Cheeda. You say that 124 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: word just like that, and Boom goes to dynamite. Boom 125 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: goes to dynamite, and uh, well, we've got to send 126 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: a message to Belichick because I didn't like him. So 127 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: we got to send a message, right, And it's like 128 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: you're vandalizing a statue or something like that. We're gonna 129 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: send a message that don't fix everything? Okay, negative campaigning 130 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: one oh one? Why do people do negative campaigning? Spoiler alert? 131 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: It works, It works, you see it in politics. This 132 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: is a political thing, the Hall of Fame. And so 133 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: you reframe the dominance of Bill Belichick in New England 134 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: as tainted and you let the cowards hide behind the 135 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: anonymity of not having to reveal their votes. Hell hath 136 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: no fury like a curmudgeon scorned. And that would be 137 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick his nemesis year, Bill Poling. It's the battle 138 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: of the Bills. So Bill Pollyon for him a lifetime 139 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: in football, right, the man that thinks he invented football. 140 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Bill Polling one of the great a holes of our time. 141 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: It's great, we got a hole Belichick's and ahole two. 142 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: So it's perfect. They're perfect for each other. They're both schmucks. 143 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: And so there's Bill Poullion. This is his Mona Lisa. 144 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: This is the Mona Lisa for Bill Poleon Petty permanent 145 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: smug shove it up your turk is Belichick. Yeah, how 146 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: does that taste? And the whole cabal thing for the 147 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame anonymous voters in terms of their actual well, 148 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: now we know who they are. We'll get to that 149 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: later in the hour. They've got clean hands and clearly 150 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: some dirty motives, some dirty motives here, and I'll listen. 151 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: I am on the side Belichick should have been in 152 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,359 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. This is an absolute travesty. It's ridiculous, 153 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: and Belichick is the gold standard of this era of coaches. 154 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: And there's no need to delay this. It's just written 155 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: in absolute spite. I don't know what color spiite is, 156 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: but it cheapens the Hall of Fame, the Pro Football 157 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, it does. Now Page two, keeping the 158 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: theme of the hour going, keeping the drum beat going. Here, 159 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: the question I will now ask to the steam panel, 160 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: and you're part of that, is does it make any 161 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: sense to make Bill Belichick wait for the Pro Football 162 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame because of integrity issues. Right, let's start 163 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: with that. So I'm giving this one side, and I've 164 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: already gotten some email. You better go out and bash, 165 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: you better support Poulion in the Hall of Fame. And 166 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: Belichick doesn't deserve to get in, and all you have 167 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: to look at each case on an individual basis, right, 168 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: And the Pro Football Hall of Fame has never my 169 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: entire life, has never carried themselves like the Vatican. It's Canton, Ohio. 170 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: It's far from the Vatican. And so this is not 171 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: even Cooperstown either. Cooperstown. They used to talk about having 172 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: high standards in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and they've 173 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: just urinated all over that. They publicly defecated over the 174 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: Baseball Hall of Fame. Now for years that was all 175 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: that was the hardest one to get in and all 176 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: that stuff. So the Pro Football Hall of Fame is 177 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: not that. So don't pretend that it's the Vatican or 178 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame. And even the Baseball Hall 179 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: of Fame is now they've now, as I said, defecated 180 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: all over that. That's meaningless. Now they let the cheater, 181 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: the cheating asstro Carlos Beltron, the man that was the 182 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: leader of the trash Can Symphony. They led him in 183 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: ped Poppy. David Ortiz has already enshrined in the Baseball 184 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Can't put Bonds in there, though, or 185 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: Roger Clemen maguire or Sosa, those guys. So spare me 186 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: the pro clutching on all this. The Pro Football Hall 187 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: of Fame acting like the moral compass when it comes 188 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: to Belichick, callis and this is the point of demarcation, 189 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick not letting Belichick into the Pro Football You 190 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. That is rich. That is Richie Rich. 191 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: Now the league in general has looked the other way. 192 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: The NFL and by proxy, the Pro Football Hall of 193 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: Fame has looked the other way. In my life, we 194 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: have had the stickham steroids, ball tampering, fake injuries, bounties, 195 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: crowd noise, shenanigans that have taken place, cap gymnastics, you 196 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: name it. It's all happened. And all of those people 197 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: are in the Hall of Fame. No one's out of 198 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame because any of that stuff in 199 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame 200 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: vote also is a scattershot situations like throwing darts into 201 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: a windstorm, you don't really know where it's gonna be go. 202 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: There's no purity test for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 203 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: There never was. Now there is. We woke up in 204 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six after all these years, and now there's 205 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: a purity test to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 206 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: And let's talk for a moment. You and I by 207 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: what I call Olympic medal winning hutzba Olympic medal winning hutsba, 208 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: Bill Pollian lecturing anyone right. Bill Pollian, who rarely his teams, 209 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: did well against Bill Belichick, so he multiple times tried 210 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: to change the rules because he couldn't beat the Patriots 211 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: with Belichick the way the rules were, so he tried 212 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: to change the rules. And while he was running the Colts, 213 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: if you're old enough to remember, all of a sudden, 214 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: the Colts were visited by what we call the the 215 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: Decibel Fairy, the Decibel fairry that showed up at the 216 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: RSA Dome that was where the Colts used to play, 217 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: and cranked up the volume to eleven. In the stadium. 218 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: They would pump in artificial crowd noise, and Bill Paullion 219 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: had no problem with that. That was fine. Well he 220 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: was running the Colts. But his other stuff, well, that's 221 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: that's a problem. Police and holding Belichick out on the 222 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: first ballot, it's like going to Germany and visiting the 223 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: Autoban where Autobon butch one of our old callers. He's 224 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: retired now because he moved back to the States. He 225 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: didn't call anymore, although he still wants Ricky Waters in 226 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. But putting a speed bump on 227 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: the autobon, well, the whole point of the autobon is 228 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: there's no speed most there's no speed bumps in the 229 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. To get in the Pro Football Hall 230 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: of Fame. In the NFL and the Pro Football Hall 231 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: of mL benefited you all the gray areas and all that. 232 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: That's the league that they didn't care and they look 233 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: the other way. And now all of a sudden, you've 234 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: got to be a choir boy or Belichick go ahead 235 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: to punish him for a year. So what is Belichick 236 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: going to do between now and next year to clean 237 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: his reputation for the purity police at the Pro Football 238 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame? Now, the last word, keeping the beat going, 239 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: rat of tat tat, keeping the beat going. Here. So 240 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: the question, now, if Bill Belichick gets stiff armed, right 241 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: stiff armed on the first ballot, it's a natural conclusion. 242 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: Everyone's making the same conclusion. I'll be the latest add 243 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: onto it. I think it's a legitimate question that needs 244 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: to be asked. I think it's a question most of 245 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: us have. So if you don't let Belichick in because 246 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: he's a dirty, rotten scoundrel, does that mean Tom Brady 247 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: also does not get in that Tom Brady gets denied 248 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: with his avocado ice cream, he can't get in the 249 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first vote. You've 250 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: set the president, have you not? I think the same 251 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: player about Brady was right there with Belichick and benefited. 252 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: If Belichick benefitted from everything that was going on, tom 253 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: Brady benefit. If that's if you're on the high moral mountain, 254 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: if that's where you side. So we are playing this game, 255 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna play the game. That would be the line 256 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: you go boomerang, and I would say buckle up, fasten 257 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: your seatbelt, because you can't open the cheating drawer halfway. 258 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: You can't do it once you go down there, it's 259 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: how far down into the matrix do you want to go? 260 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: You take the red pill or the blue pill here? 261 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: And so if this is a precedent setting event, now 262 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: either you judge careers on winds, rings, impact and can 263 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: you tell the history of the ward of Pro Football 264 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: without Bill Belichick? Of course not, And you'll get in eventually. 265 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: Are you going to turn this into a half hour 266 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: episodes of Judge Judy where Judge Judy decides whether or 267 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: not you get in or not. Now, since you have 268 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: slum down Bill Belichick, Brady, the Brady Klan, the marching 269 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: and chat of society for Tom Brady, there, I guess 270 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: Brady has to go to the haberdasherie and get a 271 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: matching scarlet letter that Bill Belichick is going to wear. 272 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: So Brady can get that scarlet letter. That's the extension 273 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: of the argument. That's the extension of the argument, and 274 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: it's gobbledee gook with a capital G gobbly gook the 275 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame. I want to go back 276 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: to something I said a few minutes ago. They've always 277 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: looked the other way to cheating. That's the difference. That's 278 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: why my position on This is different than the Baseball 279 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: of Fame. But Baseball ruined the Hall of Fame. The 280 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: riders round it, putting the cheating a hole Carlos Beltron in. 281 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: So that's over too. I don't want to hear any 282 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: more arguments about, oh, you have to be a certain 283 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: standard to get in the Hall of It. No you don't. 284 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: You just let you let Beltron in, You let Big 285 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: Poppy in. There's other steroid guys that in. Certain guys 286 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: can't get it. And so if you want my evidence, 287 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: you want receipts on this. Jerry Rice the greatest receiver 288 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: of all time. I think we'd all agree on that. 289 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: Played it in the era where it was harder to 290 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: play receiver than it is now. It's easier. You had 291 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba and Puka Naku and all these 292 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: guys are running will it's because he easier to play 293 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: right wide receiver. Jerry Rice would use gobs of stickham. 294 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: It did not stop m being put into the Hall 295 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: of Fame. And it's all time great and canonized Jerry Rice. 296 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: Joe Montana benefitted from Jerry Rice using this stick iman. 297 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: Montana a couple of years ago bragged about how the 298 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: forty nine ers offensive line protecting Joe Montana were greased 299 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: up like pigs. They put on a bunch of stuff 300 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: on their jerseys so they defensive players couldn't grab a 301 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: hold of them. And that was cheating and Montana was 302 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: very proud of it, and he's not looked down upon 303 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: because of that. You can go on John Elway. The 304 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: Broncos openly cheated with the salary cap. Elway was in 305 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: cahoots with that, and that when they were winning the 306 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl at the end of Elway's career. The Broncos 307 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: got punished by the NFL for that. Nobody brings that up. 308 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: But we're gonna stop Bell. Belichick's where we draw the line. 309 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: Right there, That's where we draw the line. So spare 310 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: me the sudden, great awakening, and now it's all about 311 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: the integrity of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Please, 312 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: and if you want to retroactively apply penalties selectively, the 313 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: line disappears. That's it. It's pure chaos and that's where 314 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: we are. And the only ones that like that are 315 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: the flea bitaten varmints like Bill Pollian. 316 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller 317 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 2: show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 318 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 319 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller. 320 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: Would mean a lot to have you join us on 321 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: our weekly auditory journey.

The Belichick news trumped everything. I see the 334 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: boards packed with Belichick people. So we'll get to the 335 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: Belichick crowd here mal Mantelli. But if you did not hear, 336 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: maybe not. Belichick was denied for the Hall of fame. 337 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: But the story earlier was the Buffalo Bills who after 338 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: that I don't know what you'd call that news conference 339 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: where the owner got up there and talked about how 340 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: we have to have a new voice and all that stuff. 341 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: So the Bills went out and got a new voice. 342 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: They hired someone in house. The Buffalo Bills promoted Joe 343 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: Brady as their new head coach. Say what, who goofed? 344 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: I've got to know now they're selling this as a 345 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: move to provide continuity for Quarterbank. Josh Allen Brady is 346 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: thirty six years young. He gets a five year contract. 347 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: We'll see how many of those years are option years. 348 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: But five year contract, it's a good contract. I've never 349 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: had a five year contract. So Joe Brady's promotion came 350 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: a little more than a week after Sean McDermott was 351 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: fired following the nine year tenure where he continued to 352 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: be a stumblebum his teams in the fourth quarter of 353 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: playoff games. So Joe Brady his promotion, He's now the 354 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: head coach. Let's discuss. That's a good jumping off point. 355 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: So the question what message give me? The message that 356 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: the Bills ownership is sending by hiring Joe Brady as 357 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: their next head coach. So my observations, I've got Jimmy Johns, 358 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: Rodeo Ruter, and Old Shoe, and we will combine all 359 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to play 360 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: connect three, Connect not connect four. Connect three. That's how 361 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. So number number what okay? All right? 362 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: So here's the deal. When the Bills officially do the 363 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: whole Shenanigans and all that with Joe Bray, they ought 364 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: to pass out barf bags to the Bills mafia because 365 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: they just made everyone nauseous. Who supports the Bills. Now, 366 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: there are some people trying to spin it, and they're 367 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: the kool aid drinkers. There's always a certain percentage of 368 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: fans that are just gullible. Right, whatever the team does 369 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: is the right move. And you know, they're called suckers. 370 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: That's what they are. They're called suckers. So the Buffalo 371 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: Bills were at a fork in the road. So that 372 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: are fork in the road, and they've gone the wrong way. 373 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: They've gone they should have gone right. They went left. Back. 374 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: Job by them. So we put the Mallord Investigative Bureau 375 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: on this. The MiB the Malord Investigative Bureau on the case. 376 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: And there's a chalk outline right around on one Bill's 377 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: drive the facility there, and it's still fresh, and it's like, 378 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: this is on the Jimmy John's menu. It's the number three. 379 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: What is the number three? It's the Phony Blooney sandwich deal. 380 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: The Phony Blooney sandwich deal. You also get a bag 381 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: of chips and a drink with that. It's the Phony balooney. 382 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. The Buffalo Bills poll 383 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: axed Sean mcdermomy. If we didn't have a problem with 384 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: we did have a problem with it. So the guy 385 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: rid of Sean McDermott. They claimed the owner at the 386 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: time that McDermott can't get over the hump. No one 387 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: would push back on that. He had almost a decade, 388 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: didn't get over them. And the line from the owner there, 389 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: Terry Pagola, the owner said we need a new voice, 390 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: is what he said. And so then what does Pagola 391 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: the owner do? What does he do? He hires a 392 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: guy who was sitting in a chair in the room 393 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: in the locker. The guy was there, the guy was 394 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: I hired a guy that was there. You said needed 395 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: a new voice. Yeah, hired a voice that was already there. 396 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: Brady just completed his fourth season in Buffalo. He was 397 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: the haunt shunt, offensive genius that made Joe Burrow in college. 398 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: And he goes to Buffalo and it's it's fine. It's 399 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: not any genius work by Brady. The whole thing is 400 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: a total sham. It's a total tap. Like you fired 401 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: the head coach and then you brought somebody. It's like 402 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get rid of the head of the household 403 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna replace him with the butler. No, no, 404 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: that's not that's not the move. You did the wrong thing. 405 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: And so Joe Brady, who was part of the problem 406 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, and he was the one calling 407 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: plays when the plays didn't work, when they needed to work, 408 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: he was the one calling the plays. And so now 409 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: he he's the guy you're telling me that's the new voice. 410 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: She picked him as the new voice. Here, give me 411 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: a break, give me a bloody break. So what's really 412 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: going on? I mentioned we use the Mallard Investigative Bureau, 413 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: the MIIB, and the MIIB is never wrong. They're not 414 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: always right, but they're never wrong. Here's the MIIB determined 415 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: that Joe Brady, it is more likely than not this 416 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: hire was made because he is a stool pigeon Joe Brady, 417 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: that he is a puppet to the front office, he's 418 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: a conduit. And this really confirms what was initially said 419 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: to be some conspiracy theories on the Buffalo Bills. But 420 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: this guy appears to be a kool aid drinker, a 421 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: toady for management, and he's not going to challenge the 422 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: Church of the Bills mafia, at least the ownership wing 423 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: of the Bills mafia McDermott if the conspiracy is right. Again, 424 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a conspiracy anymore. But the 425 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: story that was being peddled was that McDermott had the stones, 426 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: he had the machismo to go up to the ownership 427 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: group in the front office say listen, this roster is 428 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: not complete. We need we need some more help on this. 429 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: And so the ownership and the GM there decided, okay, 430 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: that makes sense. Why don't we excommunicate you. We'll get 431 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: your ass out of here. And the Bills went out 432 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: looking for a coach. And you'd think this would be 433 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: the top job, the Ravens job, and the Bills job, 434 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: and the Ravens we determined they got rid of John 435 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: Harbaugh because Lamar Jackson was upset with John Harbaugh, so 436 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: they hired a Harbaugh disciple. So the Buffalo Bills got 437 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: rid of Sean McDermott and they had Josh Allen. You 438 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: think everyone would be lining up around the building to 439 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: work for the Buffalo Bills. It turns out they just 440 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: hired one of McDermott's assistants who they hand picked and 441 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: put on the coaching staff. So that's where I the 442 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: theory is, this guy's a yes man, and he's again 443 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: he's just a spy in the locker room for the 444 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: ownership group. Let's talk about number seventeen for a second, though, 445 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: Why not, because Josh Allen one is not totally out 446 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: of the woods. There's some culpability in this. It would 447 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: appear that Josh Allen gave his blessing to Joe Brady 448 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: to be the head coach here. He could have put 449 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: up a fight, He should have put up a fight, 450 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: and he wanted someone who he was familiar with. And 451 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: this is the guy, and so good for Josh Allen. 452 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: He can keep playing hero ball late in playoff games 453 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: and not making the right move, and the Bills will 454 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: find new creative ways to f this thing up. And wow, 455 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: all right, now, let's play the odds. What do you say? 456 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: I love playing the odds? Page two. Let's play the odds. 457 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: So the question, what are the chances that Joe Brady 458 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: ends up making me look like a donkey? What are 459 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: the chances that the Bills new coach has the pass 460 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: code to unlock the Lombardi Trophy? What are the odds? 461 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: So we are setting the malarods at plus two thousand, 462 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: plus two thousand. Now, if you're not good with math, 463 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: that is under five percent. That's where I am. It's 464 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: less than five percent chance that Joe Brady works out, 465 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: and so it's not really much of a belief in 466 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: Joe Brady. It's like wishful thinking. And then you wrap 467 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: that in some duct tape and then there's a little 468 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: bit that you needed some Elmer's glues. You put the 469 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: Elmo's glue in there, and that's that. But the Bills 470 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: are allegedly and win now mode. We want to win. 471 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: So they spun the roulette wheel and they prayed it 472 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: didn't land on green double zero, and it appears that 473 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: it landed on green double zero. So what are the 474 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: issues now? Just looking at this objectively, because there's nothing 475 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: like objectivity on overnight sports radio, So looking at this 476 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: objectivity objectively rather objectively. Joe Brady is a first year coach. 477 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: You know who hires first year coaches? The Jets, the Cardinals, 478 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: an MVP and you hired It's a starter job for 479 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: Joe Brady, a starter job. Hasn't coached at any level 480 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: that matters, hasn't coached at any as a head coach, 481 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: so he's got no grace period. There's no runway for 482 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: Joe Brady. And Buffalo hasn't won anything meaningful ever. It's 483 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: a town of losers, Buffalo, and now they hire a 484 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: first timer and say, okay, go get it done. And 485 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: the part I can't get past is again, I go 486 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: back to it. McDermott. You get rid of McDermott because 487 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't the right guy. Okay, fine, he had reached 488 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: his playoff ceiling. I think we'd all agree on that, 489 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: as I said, And then you promote a guy who 490 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: was right next to him, his lieutenant. So great, and 491 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Brady's an offensive guy Joe Brady, which is fine. The 492 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: defense had some leaks there, and the special teams at 493 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: times were a mess for the Buffalo Bill. And there's 494 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: nobody there to fix the plumbing on that. So you 495 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: might want to call road ol router because the toilets 496 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: are clogged. The toilets are clogged, and there's poopy water 497 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: coming over the top of the toilet right there. Meanwhile, 498 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen his prime time years tick tick tic tic 499 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic 500 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: tic tic tic. Yeah, that's it. And this smells like 501 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: another chapter in the annals of NFL history of what 502 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: could have been on tragic tale. A lot of hype, 503 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: a lot of pomp and circumstance, big hopes, people jumping 504 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: on tables that were on fire, and the same old ending, 505 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: the same old ending, all right, now, final point to 506 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: the runner up, the runner up, and that's the guy 507 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: that got as I got away some other coaching news. 508 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: There's only one person I know that's excited about this, 509 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: and that's Danny in Nashville, who's not even in Nashville anymore. 510 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: But the Tennessee Titans have received a commitment for a 511 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator Brian Dayball, the fat guy used to 512 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: coach Jihants. Brian Dayball is now going to run the 513 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: offense for the Tennessee Titans, so he takes over. So 514 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: the question is the arrow pointing up or is the 515 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: arrow pointing down for Brian day Ball joining the Tennessee 516 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: Titans as the new offensive guru. So I'm not surprise 517 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: you on this one. I believe the arrow is pointing up. 518 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: I believe the arrow is pointing up. It seems like 519 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: a pretty good fit. Seems like a pretty good fit. 520 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: So I'll be Benny Brightside on this one. Considering the 521 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball, he thought he was getting the Bills job. 522 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: I think most the gambling market had him as the 523 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: favorite for the Bill's job. Going to Tennessee is the 524 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: booby prize. That's not mistake that you's gonna be a 525 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: head coach of an MVP quarterback and now you're going 526 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: to go coach a man that made the phrase we 527 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: ask famous in Tennessee. So not exactly. It's kind of 528 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: like ordering raising canes and then you get the food 529 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: delivered and they've given you the uber. Each driver has 530 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: given you the wrong bag, and it's impossible chicken fingers. 531 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: But it's not even real chicken. You don't want that. 532 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: You want the raising canes, you want the sauce, you 533 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: want the fries, the Texas toast, and they gave you 534 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: just some fake rip off chicken when nobody wants that. 535 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: Where's the meat? Where's the meat? So listen, there's no 536 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,239 Speaker 1: doubt it's not how Brian day Ball drew it up 537 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, regardless, the context does matter in 538 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: these situations. So day Ball's reputation precedes him. He's an 539 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: elite schemer and very mediocre CEO, very mediocre CEO, and 540 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 1: it just fits like it shouldn't be comfortable, like an 541 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: old pair of shoes, just kind of fit right and 542 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: you like them, and even if they don't necessarily look good, 543 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: they're your shoes you want him for a long time. 544 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: Just fit right. And so yeah, I gave it an 545 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: A plus on the whiteboard because that's what that's what 546 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: he is. Brian dables an A plus with the whiteboard 547 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: just drawn up plays in terms of being a head coach, 548 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: wearing the headset and overseeing everything. He's like a D minus. 549 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: And he's got that reputation. We'll see if this continues here, 550 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: mad scientist guy. And of course he as a head coach, 551 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: he's the mad scientist that burns down the lab as 552 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: a coordinator. No, and the good thing about day Ball 553 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: is every game he's one of the He's very charming debonair, 554 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: and the broadcasters like him, so they'll they'll give him 555 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: a toe massage, a manny and a petty and the 556 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: whole thing a bubble bath every week on television eytime 557 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: cam Ward makes a great play. It's gonna be tough though, 558 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: the broadcasters. They're gonna go from massaging Robert Sala the coach, 559 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: and then they've got Brian Daball. They might have to 560 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: add like an extra broadcaster so they can suck up 561 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: to all the coaches that are gonna be there with 562 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. My god, does anyone get more love 563 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: than Robert salap from broadcasters? It is violating in decency 564 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: loss with the FCC. It is it's illegal in the 565 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: Bible Belt, which is odd because Nashville's in the Bible Belt. 566 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: So I don't know how that's gonna work anyway. So 567 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: and the other thing about Brian da Ball is he's 568 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: got autonomy because Robert sala is all about the defense. 569 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: He's going to be the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans. 570 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: So that means that Brian Dayball's the head of the 571 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: offense and he'll call everything, and that's it. And got 572 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: cam Ward and you can futs around with the offense 573 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: and run some RPOs, run a college offense as much 574 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: as it can in the NFL. And that's what day 575 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: Ball did for Josh Allen. So do it for cam 576 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: Ward and modernize the Tennessee Titans offense. And so the again, 577 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: the arrow's pointing up for Brian day Ball there to 578 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: turn the Titans from we ask to a vicious Sea Bass. 579 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: We used to have a caller named Sea Bass Blind 580 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: Sea Bass from Nashville. I don't know, I don't have it. 581 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: He's these guys call for a while, they disabute. It's hard. 582 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: You can't handle calling overnight talk radio. The pressure people 583 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: think being a head coach in the NFL is pressure. No, 584 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: being a celebrity caller on overnight sports talk radio it 585 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: is the highest level of fame. You don't get appreciated, 586 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: and you're always polarizing. People have strong opinions about you. 587 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: And it's not easy. It's not for everyone, and people 588 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: do it for a little bit and they can't handle. 589 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 590 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 591 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: It's Mallard.

Well, the correct answer is none 617 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: other than Eli the Punk Manning in nineteen No. Two 618 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: thousand and four, two thousand and four for the Giants. 619 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: He made his debut with the Giants and they won 620 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He was the last one. All right, 621 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: here we go, Here we go, let's go, coople. Look 622 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: what do you got? 623 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 2: Well? 624 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins started out hot in his time with Baltimore, 625 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 3: catching a touchdown in each of his first two games. 626 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: He never scored again after that. 627 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 3: On a recent podcast interview, DeAndre Hopkins said that he 628 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 3: felt like he was underutilized by Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Munkin. 629 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: Is he right now? He's a middle aged, older wide 630 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 1: receiver and he's no longer an alpha wide receiver, and 631 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: so he was not treated like an alpha wide receiver. 632 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: And of course you would want to play with Josh 633 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: Allen if you're if you're you know, DeAndre Hopkins and 634 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: all that, but everything kind of cratered on him. That's 635 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: the type of player he is at this point. And 636 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 1: it was his number three or four receiver, he'd be fine, 637 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: but nothing more than that. 638 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 3: Next, Brogos left tackle Garrett Bowles believes that Denver has 639 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 3: become a free agent destination, saying he'll be shocked to 640 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 3: see how many free agents want to come ben Is 641 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 3: Denver a free agent's dream spot? 642 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't matter that these guys all say this 643 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, Coop, But whoever pays The guys signed 644 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,919 Speaker 1: with the Jets every year in the Browns and those 645 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: teams suck, But whoever gives them the most money? Do 646 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: they have any more perks or creature comforts in Denver? 647 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm doubting it. 648 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 3: Next, the Cavaliers ruled the East last season, but stumbled 649 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 3: out of the gate this year. However, they're now on 650 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 3: a four game win streak and have won seven of 651 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 3: the last ten. Ben, do you expect them to climb 652 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 3: back to the top of the conference. 653 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't think they're that good. I 654 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: don't see I watched some of these NBA games. I 655 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: don't see anyone that blows me. Oklahoma City they had 656 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: a rough patch comparison.
