So we'll start 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: out in sweet Home Chicago, where the Bears are the 44 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: story here. They won the offseason. Congratulations, they had a 45 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: big celebration there in Chicago. Another offseason championship for the Bears. 46 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: Always exciting when you win the off season. But the 47 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: Bears first two games of the year and they are 48 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: in hybernation mode. 49 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: The hibernating Bears dull Bears. 50 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: So Chicago the football team off to the zero and 51 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: two start, got absolutely bitch. They gave up against the Lions. 52 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: That's gutless football. You don't give up fifty points if 53 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: you're halfway decent and you're trying. They gave up on 54 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: their coach in the second game of the year, and 55 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: now some payback because anything that works in that business 56 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: knows if you're trying, you don't give up fifty plus points. 57 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: You just don't do that. 58 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: So the new coach there has decided to go on 59 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: the offensive, which is not surprising considering he is an 60 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, although you wouldn't know it the way the 61 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: Bears offense is going. So if you didn't see this, 62 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: maybe not. Ben Johnson publicly putting his players on blast. 63 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: He was talking to a short sound bite, but he 64 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: was talking about the practiced habits of the Chicago Bears. 65 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: Take a listen. I think our practice habits are are 66 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: yet to reflect the championship caliber team. 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 5: Dah. 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: Now he went on and expanded on that, but that 69 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: one playing the guy, play the guy and listen to this. 70 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: I think our practice habits are are yet to reflect 71 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: the championship caliber team. All right, So he expanded on that. 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: But that's where we're gonna jump off. 73 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what do you think 74 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: of Bears coach Ben Johnson calling out his Chicago players 75 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: and what they're doing at practice. So my thoughts on this, 76 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: I've got a shampoo commercial, dunk tank, and spirit Halloween, 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 78 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna make delicious Pistromi fries. 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: Is what we're gonna do. So A, I love this story. 80 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: Hot shot coach gets new job, everyone says they can't 81 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: be stopped, and it all falls apart right away. I 82 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: got a big bucket of movie theater great popcorn, the 83 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: kind that fills your insides and you can't get it 84 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: out for years. 85 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: Two weeks, that's it. 86 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: Two weeks into the season and Ben Johnson is announcing 87 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: that the practices think He went on to say, the 88 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: fundamentals are not very good. So I guess that means 89 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: they're garbage, that the basics blocking and tackling are not there. 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Ball security. This is Pop Warner football level mistakes by 91 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bear. He's essentially saying, the way I translated this, 92 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: I used to the Mallard Rosetta Stone that the coach 93 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: of the Bears is saying that the team is playing 94 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: grab ass all week like the true Bears fans like 95 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: Yafimi and Tree in Chicago and Eugene in Chicago, all 96 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: those guys, they put more effort into it than the 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: actual players on the team. Now, in life, the saying 98 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: is you are what you eat. You probably heard that 99 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: when you were younger. 100 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: You are what you eat. 101 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: In football, you are how you practice, like That's been 102 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: the mantra of football forever and ever. Is anyone shocked? 103 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: Anyone shocked that already this is coming out? And you 104 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: know this has been going on for months, right, This 105 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: is not something that all of a sudden just bubbled 106 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: up out of nowhere. 107 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: It's been hanging out there. 108 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: And because you always try to handle this stuff internally 109 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: before you go in front of the cameras and the 110 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: microphones and say this kind of thing. So Ben Johnson's 111 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: been dealing with this for some time. But you can't 112 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: be shocked by it. And here's why the Bears are 113 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: who we thought they were. They're losers. They've been losers 114 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: for decades. It's the culture that's the Chicago Bears. That 115 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: stuff doesn't just go away because you hired the latest 116 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: offensive genius who's the flavor of the month in the NFL. 117 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: And so Ben Johnson's like he's up there like Dorothy 118 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: from the Wizard of Oz. We're not in Kansas anymore. 119 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: I guess in this case, we're not in Detroit anymore 120 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: because he was with the Lions. Well, no kidding, You're 121 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: in Chicago. Great pizza, bad football, good pizza, bad football, 122 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: good popcorn, bad football. You've inherited the island of misfit toys. Congratulations. Now, 123 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: I've never been to Bears practice. I'm assuming you have 124 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: an either. It must be like animal House, though I imagine 125 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: just a total frat party like guys have like zombie mode. Right, 126 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's called what is Ben Johnson's really What 127 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: he's really doing here is not even calling out the 128 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: core of the roster. The way that I heard this 129 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: is a direct shot at his quarterback Caleb Williams. This 130 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: is a direct shot at Caleb Williams your career. Disagree 131 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: with that point, then me make my argument here. Now, 132 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: he didn't say his name, and I watched the news 133 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: coming he didn't say Cayleb Williams name in regard to this. However, 134 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: the reason I'm going down that road is because your 135 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: quarterback is supposed to be the tone setter, right, They're 136 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: the ones lead by example. You're supposed to be the 137 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: leader of men, and instead Caleb, Well, this is all 138 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: going on. 139 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: He's probably looking out. He's auditioning for some. 140 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Shampoo commercial somewhere, or he's at the nail salon getting 141 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: that French manicure while the coach is begging his team 142 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: to actually finish a play in practice and all that. 143 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: And so this is Ben Johnson's way of calling out 144 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams that he's not holding guys accountable, that there's 145 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: no pride in product in Chicago and they're grinding it 146 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: out in practice unless they're not. And that's what Ben 147 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: Johnson is telling you. He's begging for the quarterback to 148 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: be the grown up in the room and act. 149 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: Like it here. 150 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: Instead, he's got a team full of Instagram influencers. They 151 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of cloud online. Let's be honest here, 152 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: come on. I mean they're bad at football, but they're 153 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: really good online. The Bears are solid. They got a 154 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: lot of those fake bots following. Anyway, you can't build 155 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the culture if your quarterback is part of the problem. 156 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: Becomes an issue. So we'll see if that changes, but 157 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: at this point unlikely. Now, speaking of problems, because we 158 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: love problems on the Ben Malor Show, we celebrate problems 159 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: because we got problems. Now we go to Vegas, lost 160 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: wages in Nevadom I spent If you listen to my 161 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: fifth hour podcast on the weekends, I told the story 162 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: with Danny g I spent eighty dollars to park in 163 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: one day in Vegas. I could have parked in Manhattan. 164 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: They just at some point Vegas will realize probably not 165 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: a good idea, Probably not a good idea for. 166 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: Those parking fees. 167 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: Anyway, so we get to the now they look horrible 168 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: and we ripped apart Geno Smith for his performance or 169 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: lack theirop performance in the game back on Monday night 170 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: and this is our Thursday show. But the latest hullabaloo 171 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: from Raiderland running back Ashton Genty. He revealed that he 172 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: wants a bigger workload, he said. This week, he said, quote, 173 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: I don't think you draft a guy like me to 174 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: not give me carries, he said. 175 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 3: Now it is true. 176 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: Out of Boise State, Genty was the number six, number 177 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: six pick in the twenty is we have a button 178 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: for everything, number six pick in the twenty twenty five 179 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: NFL draft and had a prolific career in Idaho, but 180 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: so far in his NFL right so it's only a 181 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: couple of games. What we've got a show to do 182 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: right now? The results have been ugly, absolutely ugly. So 183 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: the question, as we discussed the question is why why 184 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: is Ashton Genty apparently in Peak Farrel's doghouse with the 185 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: Raiders already? 186 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 3: So this is an early reality check, That's the way 187 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 3: I see it. 188 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: Like the silver and Black height machine after they had drafted, 189 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: drafted this guy gent this is home run hitter. Remember 190 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: Bo Jackson back in the day, If you're really old, 191 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: you remember this guy named Bo Jackson and all that 192 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: highlight reel reborn. And we're a couple weeks into the 193 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: process or the process, and he looks much more like 194 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Trent Richardson than he does the second coming of Bo Jackson, 195 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: which is not a compliment. I don't believe. So plotting 196 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: through defense is that Patriot game was really bad. The 197 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Charger game was not great. But plotting through defense like 198 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: he's trudging through wet cement, Ashton Gent. And against the Patriots, 199 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: the lowly Patriots, he had nineteen carries and thirty eight yards. 200 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: My math is correct on that, and I believe that's 201 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: two yards of pop using malor math, that'll get you 202 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: right back to full back dive territory. 203 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 3: That's like the nineteen eighty three NFL all over again. 204 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: And then against the Chargers there was a little bit 205 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: of improvement. 206 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: He hit forty three yards, so five more yards and 207 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: average three point nine yards per carry. Limited work, nothing special. 208 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: So Ashton Gent's NFL christening has been a flaming dunk 209 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: tank at this point, baptism by fire, and he's got 210 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: third degree burns to prove it. So, and then he 211 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: has the hoods. But I want more carries, Okay, of course, 212 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: of course you want more carries. Be careful what you 213 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: wish for, though, the more touches that you get right, 214 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: more times you touch the ball. Right now, the more 215 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: Raider fans are reminded that you don't draft a running 216 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: back in the top ten of the draft, right, you 217 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: don't do that. You drafted running back in the sixth round, 218 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: not the sixth overall pick. And you know, again, Pete 219 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: Carroll forever the ultimate college rah rah optimist coach. 220 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: We all know that, right, we all know that. 221 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: And you know he insists he wants to give gent 222 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: the football and all that. But Pete Carroll, well he's 223 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: mister raw raw. He's also not a country bumpkin. Like 224 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: if you don't earn it, you're not just gonna get it. 225 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: And and because you know, you you slap some EyeBlack 226 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: on or whatever, and it's not all of a sudden 227 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: you're gonna be mister techmobile back in the day. This 228 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: is like, this isn't Boise State versus Hawaii. There is 229 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: no blue turf in the NFL. Right, in the NFL, 230 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: the the linebackers. You don't play a school where the 231 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: linebackers are biology majors on scholarship, right that these are 232 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: these are all the top one percent of the top 233 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: one percent. And Ashton genty uh, you know he just 234 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: has looked clunky. It's like he's auditioning for the role 235 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: of Frankenstein, like real stiff, like a universal reboot of 236 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: Frankenstein or something like that. But it's it is too 237 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: early to say, oh, this guy's a total bust and 238 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: slap that label on this guy's locker. However, uh, you know, 239 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: in Vegas and just in general, like the first impression, 240 00:12:59,520 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: this is it. 241 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: You're judged by that and you have to overcome that. 242 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: Once you get that in the mind, it's very difficult 243 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: to overcome that. And Ashton Genty what he really needs. 244 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: And I looked at the schedule. Unfortunately I didn't see this. 245 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: Ashton Genty needs a Washington State or Georgia Southern on 246 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: the schedule like he had when he was at Boise State. 247 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: A total cupcake game, and there's only a few of 248 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: those in the NFL that would be like your New 249 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, so you're Carolina Panthers somebody like that, and 250 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: then you can look like the All Americans stud all 251 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: over again. Unfortunately for him, the NFL does not do 252 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: cupcakes very often. Right right now that the highlight reel 253 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: two games into Ashton Genty's career, is more of a 254 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: blooper reel than a highlight reel. Right now, last word, 255 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: we go to La La Land. A viral video popping 256 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: up here of a charger. Now, how often does that happen? 257 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: Let's stop right there, how often does a charger end 258 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: up in a viral video? Well, Charges Wide Receiver Keenan 259 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: Allen with the Monday Night Game the other night videos 260 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: making the rounds here. I don't know if you've seen 261 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: it or if you're blind you've heard it, but Keenan 262 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: Allen exposed his giant bumpity bumps on his shoulders during 263 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: a Monday. 264 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: Night pregame hype video. 265 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: I think it's actually his postgame a hype video there 266 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: against the Raiders. So the question, and again this is 267 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: more a visual thing. I know we're on an audio platform. 268 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: Just imagine Keenan Allen has these big bumps on each shoulder, 269 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: like not natural, not normal skeleton bumps. So the question, 270 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: Charges Wide Receiver, Keenan Allen going viral for the craziest 271 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: shoulder joints you will ever see or Nazi, So how 272 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: do you evaluate this one? So this clips kind of 273 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: like watching Discovery Channel, like a special show on Discovery. 274 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: Channel on Human Anatomy gone Wrong. 275 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: Like we're used to seeing football players in shoulder pads, 276 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of a regular occurrence. This guy's got shoulder spikes, 277 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: as in all the way to say it, Like you 278 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: line up against him, and it's not press coverage when 279 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: you're playing Keenan Allen, it's assault. 280 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: With a deadly weapon. 281 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: He could literally poke defensive backs in the eye before 282 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: the snap and injury. 283 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: They couldn't even able to see him, and he'd run 284 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 3: by him. 285 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: Keenan plays, he kind of plays like he's he's got 286 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder anyway, he's got an edge 287 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: to his game. And it turns out, based on this 288 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: photographic video evidence, that he not only has a chip 289 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: on his shoulder, he has two giant bones sticking out 290 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: of each shoulder. 291 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: There both of these things, we are told. 292 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: Based on a minute long Malleor investigation, they were Grade 293 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: three separations that he never got fixed. They had the 294 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: separation and he's supposed to have those surgically fixed. 295 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: He never did. 296 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: And so now it's like when I was a kid, 297 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: I always wonder what would happen if that skeletor came 298 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: to life. 299 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: What do we look like And now I know, now 300 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 3: I know, just have a grade three shoulder separation. 301 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: Do not have surgery, and then you can put on 302 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: a number thirteen jersey for the Los Angeles Chargers and 303 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: you're good to go. Now it's not all badness. I 304 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: will be Benny Brightside on this. Well, visually it's not 305 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: very attractive. Keenan Allen will not need to go to 306 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween. He's already got his. 307 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: Own swoothcky costume. 308 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: He looks like he's wearing. I'm gonna go old school here, 309 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: but professional wrestling. There was this tag team group called 310 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: the Road Warriors back in the day, and they had 311 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: shoulder pads with spikes on him, and it kind of 312 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: looks like that, kind of looks like that, right, well, 313 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: you know what a rush, except it's not a gimmick, 314 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: like this is his body. 315 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: This is what happens. 316 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: And then you see some really nasty photos of basketball 317 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: players with their fingers bent the wrong way from playing 318 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: in the NBA or toes that are really wacky, and 319 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: this is like that, right, this is like that, and 320 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: yet he's still out there running routes and roots and 321 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: all that, getting open catching passes. Is insane. It's also 322 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: grotesque but impressive. It can be both things at the 323 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: same time. It's like one of those carnival sideshow. 324 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 3: Acts that you'll see right every once in a while. 325 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: Step right up, every man, woman, and child. See the 326 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver with the dislocated skeleton right here.

So our lead this 368 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: hour is from baseball. We're going to start there the 369 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: story that a lot of people. 370 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 3: Are talking about, not the Cubs, Doc Cubbs, who. 371 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: Are in the playoffs now, but the Dodgers who did 372 00:19:59,080 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: beat the Phillies. 373 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 3: That's shocking. 374 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: But the Dodgers are in a bit of a pickle 375 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: jar here on how they're going to handle shohe Otani, 376 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: who hit another home run in the game that was 377 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: played there on Wednesday night, and he's got fifty one 378 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: home runs now and getting close to the end of 379 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: the season, just about a ten games or so to 380 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: go in. 381 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 3: The regular season. 382 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: So if he didn't see this, perhaps not the Dodgers 383 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 1: robotic manager by the book preordained. 384 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 3: Dave, we should call him Dave Roberts. 385 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts acknowledge that the Dodgers have considered whether or 386 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: not sho hail Tani may end up being their salvation 387 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: to their crap bag bullpen. The bullpen blows, it's embarrassing. 388 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: It's a minor league bullpen, and so the chance, the 389 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: chances of a Tani going to the bullpen, what are 390 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: they well, we don't know what they are it's being considered, 391 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: and a shorter series wild card round. The Dodgers, the 392 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: greatest team all time, are gonna be in the wildcard 393 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: round because they're not that good. So it remains to 394 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: be seen whether or not this will happen or not. 395 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: Otani still will likely end up being a starting pitcher 396 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: because of the rule, because of the rule in baseball, 397 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: the Otani rule, which was put in for him as 398 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: a starting pitcher, not as a reliever. But the Dodgers 399 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: say that it is something they're considering, that Otani would 400 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: help them out of the bullpen, and they're talking about it. 401 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: Otani did say that he's open to playing the outfield. 402 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: Oh my god, a guy making seventy million dollars a 403 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: year and he's willing to play the outfield. 404 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: Holy crap, just to remain in the lineup. 405 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: Because the rule is, if you're a reliever and you 406 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: leave the game, it's all over. 407 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: That's it. You're done. Ski's all right. 408 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Sho Haltani says that 409 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: he is willing to play the outfield. The Dodgers could 410 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: use him as a relief pitcher under that scenario. 411 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: What is your initial reaction to all of this. 412 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: So I've got Ricky, Bobby, Greek, and Wyoming and we 413 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. 414 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 3: And we are going to make your Babushka's favorite peanut 415 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: butter and jelly is what we're going to make. So 416 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 3: number I said number. Now Otani not. 417 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: Just as bad at gambling, but he's a unicorn and 418 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: he's a full on one man marching band. 419 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 3: How can one. 420 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: Man be a marching band. Well, there's Otani. He's the 421 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: drum major, he's playing the trumpet, he's got the tuba, 422 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: he's the guy twirling the baton. 423 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 3: He's all that. But really, what this. 424 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: Is is an obvious referendum on the Dodger front office. 425 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: They were bad at their job. 426 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: They went out, they signed a guy in Kirby Yates 427 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: who's completely washed up. 428 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 3: He should be playing shuffle board somewhere. 429 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: And Tanner Scott, whose mind is mush as mashed potatoes. 430 00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 3: This guy blows. 431 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: And so those were the big pickups that they improved 432 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: the bullpen, and the bullpen sucks so much that they're 433 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: thinking about putting Otani out there and have him strap 434 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: a harmonica on. In addition to all the other stuff 435 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: that he's got going on. 436 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 3: It's insane. 437 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: It is insane that Dodger bullpen, which they thought was 438 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: going to be a beachfront luxury condo building, but it 439 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: was that, except it was actually built on top of 440 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: a sinkle, which is not what you want. And so 441 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: now this is Major League Baseball's version of Ricky Bobby. 442 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: You remember Will Ferrell, the star of that Talladega Knights, 443 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: and played all nine positions for ten different teams one 444 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: day in the Cactus League. 445 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: He flew around and all that. 446 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: But you look at it and you will have to 447 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: get Harmonica for Otani there. And he can also juggle 448 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: chainsaws just to get them through the Wildcard series, just 449 00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: to get them through the walk cars. There's now a 450 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: little bird, he says. The Dodgers have been lobbying for 451 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: a rules change, rules change with Major League Baseball. They 452 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: would have to rewrite the constitution. I imagine the letter 453 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: goes something like, dear mister Manford, you called the World 454 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: Series Trophy a hunk of metals, so you clearly don't 455 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: care about competition, So surely you'd be willing to change 456 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: the rule just before the playoffs to accommodate the Dodgers 457 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: to allow shohal Tony to pitch and relief, hit cleanup, 458 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: and he can shag flies and left field without losing 459 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: the designated hitter. Thank you very much, signed Los Angeles Dodgers. 460 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: So they want a loopity loop is what they want. 461 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 3: They want a show. 462 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: Hel tany loophole written into the baseball by laws because 463 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the roster. 464 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 3: Is not good and he listen, the Dodgers deserve the circus. 465 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: It would be hilarious. 466 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: Baseball shouldn't change the rules, but then the commissioner doesn't 467 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: care about the integrity of the game. They don't care 468 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: about that. You got two teams playing in minor league 469 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: stadiums this year. It's embarrass But the Dodgers deserve the 470 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: circus because they babied their pitchers into glass figurines. They 471 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: put them all in bubble wrap, and then of course 472 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: the bullpen's completely cooked at this point. 473 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 3: And now we're closing in. 474 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: Just a couple weeks away from October, and the hopes 475 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: rest on O'tani pulling a Will Ferrell, just playing all 476 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: the positions. 477 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 3: Good luck with that, Good luck with that. 478 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: All right, Now we go back to football and to 479 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: the Valley of the Sun, a team we normally don't 480 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: talk about because nobody cares about them. But this is 481 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: an interesting story. The Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior. Now, 482 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: you told me this guy was going to be great, 483 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: the spawn of a Hall of Famer, and they had 484 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: a few highlights last year, a couple of good games. 485 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 3: It wasn't consistently great. 486 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: So Marvin Harrison Junior has been a non factor to 487 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: begin the year. Arizona somehow's two and oh thanks to 488 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: the schedule gods. But Marvin Harrison Junior says his lack 489 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: of targets is a quote, silly conversation to Marvin Harrison says, listen, 490 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: it's nothing to worry about. 491 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 3: Silly, silly, silly. 492 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: And he has been targeted just eleven times through the 493 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: first two games of the NFL season, and so it 494 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: obviously stands out right stands out a lot. This is 495 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: supposed to be their big stud wide receiver. This is 496 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: there forever franchise wide receiver, the next Larry Fitzgerald, better 497 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: than Larry Fitzgerald, and he's not. So the question, is 498 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: it a silly conversation that Marvin Harrison is lost in 499 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense right now, So absolutely not. Do you 500 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: know how many millions, if not billions, of dollars are 501 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: exchanged in fantasy football, and then you add in gambling 502 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: and all that, and there are prop bets on production 503 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: and whatnot. 504 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: And Marvin Harrison. 505 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: Is not living up to the building. That's a story. 506 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: It's not a silly conversation. Harrison was the fourth overall 507 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: pick in the twenty twenty four draft. 508 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 3: Ship the draft, right, you literally. 509 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: Say prayers at the tabernacle for the NFL draft and 510 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: this season so far, all we have to do is 511 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: judge him on his actions. This season, Marvin Harrison Junior 512 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: has been a stool pigeon. Tell me what company you 513 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: keep and I will tell you what you are. So 514 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. Is currently tied with someone named Josh 515 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: Downs of the Colts. Sounds like a relief pitcher for 516 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: the Giants and the Jaguars Diamy Brown in targets this year. 517 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those of you a little 518 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: slow in the back of the room. It is an 519 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: overnight show. So Marvin Harrison Jr. Is tied with the 520 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: Colts wide receiver Josh Downs and the Jaguars, Diami Brown 521 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: in targets. That is not the company that you want 522 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: to keep. Now, I didn't play in the NFL. I 523 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: know Ryan Clark will probably be upset that I have 524 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: a take because I didn't play in the NFL. But 525 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: that is not the company you want to keep, all right, 526 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: when you're supposed to be the next Jamar Chase or 527 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. This is the guy we were told can't miss, 528 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: gold plated spawn of a Hall of Famer. 529 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 530 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeahah yeah. So at this part of it, 531 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go fluent in Greek. Marvin Harrison looks like Adonis, 532 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: remember the viral photos all he worked out. 533 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 3: This guy is amazing. 534 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: He's built like a Greek god. He plays like a 535 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: Greek salad. That's not what you're looking for. Where's the production, 536 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: where's the juice? The great white outs? You know what 537 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: they do my entire life. They demand the ball. They 538 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: give me the damn ball. The famous quote from Keishawn 539 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: Johnson back and then his book. They don't just sit 540 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: there smiling and twiddling their thumbs on the sidelines while 541 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: they're getting three or four targets a game, whether that's 542 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: Devonte Adams who's getting older with the ramsde Lamb or 543 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: any of these guys. Those guys all get fed. 544 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 3: They do. And Marvin Harrison, he is a garnish on 545 00:28:59,360 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 3: the plate right now. 546 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: He's a partially sprig is essentially what he I mean, listen, 547 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: he looks nice. Half you really want him as like 548 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: the centerfold of a magazine. 549 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 3: If you're read of that kind of thing. 550 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't change the flavor. So far, he's half the 551 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: man his father was. I don't even know if half 552 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: is right. Marvin Harrison Senior, well, he certainly had some 553 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: issues off the field, and there was a lot of 554 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: shady stuff and we don't know all the details on 555 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: what was involved and what didn't happen with Marvin Harrison senior. 556 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: But he was slick and he was he was silk. 557 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: He was effortless and when he got the ball, whoever 558 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback was mostly Peyton Manning, it was Velcrow and 559 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: the kid. 560 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 3: Eh. 561 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: You know it's it's like he's running these routes and 562 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: it seems like he's stuck in a TSA line at 563 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: Sky Harbor Airport, or. 564 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 3: Some other airport. 565 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: All the hype, all the hype, right, changing the franchise, 566 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: You draft. 567 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 3: This receiver, he's so good blah blah blah blah blah 568 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. 569 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: And yet he's out there putting up stat lines that 570 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: you can get from a fifth round pick out of 571 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: Western Michigan. You can get that kind of production. So 572 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. Is as good as advertised. The staff 573 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: would mandate that he gets the ball. Is that an 574 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: accurate state? 575 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: Right? Again, you look at him. 576 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: And you're saying, well, there's a guy that looks like 577 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: a Greek god, but again it plays like a Greek salad. 578 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: And you'd say, scheme him up. You can feed him 579 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: the ball, bubble screens, slants, whatever you find, right, what 580 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: you find ways to get him ten looks a game, right, 581 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: you find ways to get the ball. Here's the fun 582 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: sized quarterback, or the alligator arms as we like to 583 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: call him. There, here's Kyler Murr. You hear the question 584 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: and the answer on the issue of targets. 585 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 3: Take a listen through. 586 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: The ball, Marvar be down, but do you feel like 587 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: you should have more targets in a game? 588 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 7: Right now you're asking me. You know, I say it 589 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 7: every time, like I wish all of them could get 590 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 7: ten targets a game. Of course, there's only one ball. 591 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 7: You know, we been playing this game for a long time. 592 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 7: We all understand how it goes. Some days he's gonna 593 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 7: get ten, some days he might get three whatever it is, 594 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 7: and Mike might get eight. You know, you never know. 595 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's a non answer answer. Again. I go 596 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 3: back to my point. 597 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: If the player is great, do you think the Vikings 598 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: going to a game saying, well, we you know, we 599 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: can't get we can't target Justin Jefferson or the Bengals 600 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: with with their their star wide receiver, mister Chase there 601 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: you get him the ball, and there are trick codes 602 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: that you can use, the bubble screen, the slant, whatever 603 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: it might be, as I said, to get them open. 604 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: And the fact that that Harrison is not getting the 605 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: ball that often means either one of two things. Either 606 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: he can't separate despite looking like a Greek god there's 607 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: not he's not getting open, or he's not the guy. 608 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 3: It's one of those two things. And if he can't separate, 609 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 3: you could also argue he's not the guy, So it's 610 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 3: almost one of the same. All right, now, final points 611 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 3: falling quarterback category. 612 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: We go to Carolina, where the Panthers sucked yet again 613 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: and their coach Dave Canalis. Don't learn his name, He 614 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: won't be there long, but Dave Canalis announced this week 615 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: that he has complete confidence in Panthers quarterback Bryce Young 616 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: says his confidence is quote super high. That's his words, 617 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: not mine. He said, a super high confidence level despite 618 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: the oh and two start yet again. And the Atlanta 619 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: Falcons are up next in a game that will be 620 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: regionally broadcast and maybe back in the day we'd say 621 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: that's on public access cable, but I guess it'll be 622 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: on television somewhere. 623 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 3: So this is one year. 624 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: Remember last season, one of the great sports radio talking 625 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: points was the famous benching of Bryce Young following an 626 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: oh and two start, and Bryce Young, after Carolina had 627 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: been firmly exterminated from any chance of doing anything, put 628 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: up some halfway decent games. But here we are back 629 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: to square one. So Canalls says he's quote fired up. 630 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: He said about where the Panthers are headed. Okay, quotes quote, 631 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Is coach Dave Canalis 632 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: confidence in Carolina quarterback Bryce Young warranted. So you can't 633 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,239 Speaker 1: see me unless you're watching the YouTube channel, which is 634 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: at Ben Mahler's show. You can watch it right there. 635 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: So I'm shaking my head. No, this is wishful thinking. 636 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: I love the fact that Canalis is fired up about 637 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: where the Panthers are going. He must love the NFL draft, 638 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: the top ten of the NFL draft, because that's. 639 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: Where Carolina is going. They're going to the top ten 640 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 3: of the NFL Draft. 641 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: It's the coach trying to sell you beachfront property in Wyoming, 642 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: beautiful beachfront property in Wyoming. Canalis is playing mister Sunshine 643 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: and it's mister Canalis in the Sunshine Band. 644 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 3: They're the ultimate cheerleader. Give me some pom poms and 645 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 3: passing them over to Dave Canalis. Get him a little 646 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 3: skirt and there you go. 647 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: You can lead the keep the faith cheer at the 648 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: rally while the quarterback looks like one of those candy bars, 649 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, the small sized candy bars you get on 650 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: Halloween there where they're a little small, though sweet. You 651 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: take a couple of bites and they're all gone. Bryce Young. 652 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: It's like he's shrunk in the drier. Now we goof 653 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,240 Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray because he's terrible too. But Bryce Young, 654 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't get as much. He's not as 655 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: obtuse as Kyler Murray, so we don't attack him as much. 656 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: But you look at him next to NFL defenders. If 657 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: you've ever flipped over to a Carolina game, and it's 658 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: like they put a high school freshman out and it's 659 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: like he's in. 660 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 3: The middle of the octagon and Dana White event. 661 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: You know, he's the twenty ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL, 662 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: and even that is misleading. 663 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 3: It's only been a couple of games. 664 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: The only time Carolina has successfully moved the ball is 665 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: in garbage time. The Cardinals in this last game had 666 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: a twenty seven to three lead in that game, and 667 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: at that point, Carolina then or three touchdowns. 668 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 3: They scored on three straight possessions. 669 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: That is not a comeback, by the way, That is 670 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: garbage time cardio. You're doing garbage time cardio, which it's 671 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: like bragging you scored an empty net goal in the 672 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: National Hockey League and you know you don't really get 673 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: that much credit for the goal. He pulled himself to 674 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: go get some gatorade or whatever it might be. Nobody's 675 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: impressed by that. Now Carolina is owing to against Jacksonville 676 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,439 Speaker 1: and Arizona, who are still who are still not gonna 677 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: make the playofy. Neither one have made plowffs lat year. 678 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: They're gonna make the plows this year. And and they 679 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: were behind by three touchdowns. It's like watching a bad 680 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: cover band watching the Carolina Panthers. You show up, they 681 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: say they're gonna bring the energy and all that stuff, 682 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: and then they butcher you know whatever old song Hotel 683 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: California or whatever at the County Fair. But that's Bryce 684 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: Young right now. Like Bryce Young is essentially the Carolina 685 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: Panthers tribute act to real NFL quarterbacks. 686 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 3: And they're sending them out there. 687 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: And you know, they decided not gonna bench him because 688 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: he got some garbage time touchdowns and all that. And 689 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm not real happy about that, particularly because of the 690 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: point spread. 691 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 3: But we'll see what happens this weekend. 692 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 693 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's smaller, 694 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: how about to the third degree. 695 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 3: This is one big event. Gets grilled Coop Daalu Ben. 696 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 5: There are ten oh to two teams in the NFL 697 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 5: heading into Week three, how embarrassing. Well, aside from the Chiefs, 698 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 5: are there any others that you believe can turn their 699 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 5: season around? 700 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously Kansas City's on that. But the teams that 701 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 1: are owing too are supposed to be owing two right, 702 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be the only one that I would 703 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: say is the clear obvious one would be the Texans. 704 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 1: It's not because I think the Texans are good. It's 705 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: because the Texans play in the right division. They play 706 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: in the AFC South, And even though the culture toing oh, 707 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: at some point Daniel Jones is gonna realize he's Daniel Jones. 708 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: So I would say Houston's the only other one because 709 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna make the playoffs in that division. It's not 710 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: gonna be Tennessee, it won't be Jacksonville. So it's either 711 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: Indy or Houston next. 712 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 5: Joey Bosa said this week that he's feeling as good 713 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 5: as he ever has in his career and it's showing 714 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 5: on the field. After forcing a fumble in Week one, 715 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 5: Bosa had a sack in two forced fumbles in Week two. 716 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 5: Do you think Bosa can be the key for the 717 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 5: Bills to get over the hump? 718 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: No, because he's gonna get hurt in the game on 719 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: Thursday night.

Harbar called German 725 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 5: James the best safety I've ever seen in the history 726 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 5: of the National Football League after the game on Monday, 727 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 5: be is this crazy hyperbole or do you think James 728 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 5: could be in that discussion? 729 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: No, it's coch coach Hyperbley. Harball played against the Atwater 730 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: and Ronnie Lott. I think they were a little bit better. 731 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 3: All right, that's a that's a win.
