1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day dred minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse to clearinghouse of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now. It is time to make you money.

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: We are going to buck the odds the benny versus

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: the penny segment on the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: Let's get into it, as Marcel would say, welcome players,

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Are you up for more? Mallar? Mayhap it's

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: time now penny versus the penny? Yes, it is on

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: the fifth Hour worth Ben Maller and David Gascon. That's right.

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: They wanted to find some one who would annrymally. They

15
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: picked Gascon. There he is right over there. We will

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: attempt to buck the odds. Gascon. We will cut the

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: cards if you will, literally flipping a coin here, shooting

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: for the moon, as the old expression goes out, and gambling.

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: This used to be, as as Arnie says, on the weekends,

20
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: you know, the great Arnie Spaniard. You know, it used

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to be just for entertainment purposes only, But now we

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: don't have to say that because gambling on sports is

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: now in the mainstream and it's a good hobby. A

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: lot of guys like to do it. So I'm excited

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: about this. And I've always mentioned my love affair for

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: casinos and how much I enjoy the casino because the concept,

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: the business concept of the casino is is it's just

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: I just think it's a fantastic thing because from the

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: business perspective, people who go to casinos, no, the deck

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: is stacked against them. The odds are against them. They're

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna win, right, You know that when I love gambling too,

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: but you want a casino, you're not. You know, the

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: odds are against you. And yet even though people like

34
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: you and I know we're gonna lose money, we still

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: enjoy it. It's fun. It's a recreational type activity, and

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: human beings love games of chance, of course, and uh,

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, and not that this is you know, you

38
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: think in sports. One of the cool things about sports,

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: guest guys, we think we have inside information, right because

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: we know if you're a cowboy fan, you know everything

41
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott or everything about Zeke Elliott. If you're

42
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: Bears fan, you're you're nuanced on Mitch Robinsky and the

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Bears defense and so yeah, so it's it's but anyway,

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: we'll get into it. And the first game up, guest

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Gon is the Atlanta Minnesota game. We did the Thursday

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: night game, which was last night the Bears and Packers.

47
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Oh boy, how about that outcome? We we put that

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: on the podcast. You can go back and hear the

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: pick on the radio show podcast. Not the Fifth Hour

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller because four hours are not enough. So

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Atlanta at Minnesota. This is a Fox game. Tom Brenneman

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and Chris Bielman will be in the at Fox box.

53
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: That rocks and the Vikings opened a four and a

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: half point favorite. They're currently favorite by four. The pick

55
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: for me in this game is the Vikings, and I'll

56
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: give you my my logic behind that. Minnesota Now they

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: are my pick to click. As Hawk Carrolson, the old

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: White Sox broadcaster, would say, as the surprise team in

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: the NFL this year, I believe they will have a

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: boomerang type season. They will bounce back and be a

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: playoff team. I like Mike Zimmer's club. He needs a

62
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: big year here. They were very bad last year compared

63
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: to expectations. I love the foundation the Vikings have with

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: their defense. That's a top five defense. That's the bedrock

65
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: of the Vikings, and I expect them to to mess

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: around with Matt Ryan, and Matt Ryan usually gets his

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: numbers in the end. It's a dome game, so it's

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: not a weather game you have to worry about for

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons when you look into that kind of stuff.

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: But but Zimmer has been absolutely money from a from

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: a gambling perspective in the last few years. The last

72
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: fourteen times in these spots, last fourteen times a Mike

73
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Zimmer coach team has had extra time to prepare, prepare,

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: like the entire off season. His teams have a seven

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: fourteen winning percentage. They're ten and four in a similar

76
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: spot to this. That tells you what has happened, not

77
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And then secondly, the Falcons. The

78
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: main reason to pick the Vikings here is a I

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: don't normally like the bet favorites. I try to if

80
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: if it's even I'll take the underdog. But the Falcons

81
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: are a defensively challenge squad. Uh. They have negligence all

82
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: over that side of the field. Atlanta ranked thirty in

83
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: pressure last season, twenty nine in past defense. It's hard

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: to pick the Falcons to go into a hostile environment

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: when when they don't have the weaponry defensively like they'll

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: score some points even though the Vikings have a good defense. Uh.

87
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: We'll see how the new offensive line does for the Vikings.

88
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: They made a couple of changes minor changes window dressing

89
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, But it really comes down to

90
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who simply has to be better and stop

91
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: being Charlie checked down. You've got the weapons that the

92
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: Falcons don't have a good defense. You can sling the

93
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: ball around to Adam Feelings, Deefon Diggs and Dalvin Cook

94
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Have them work their magic. Final score,

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: it'll be the Vikings thirty four, Falcons twenty three. What

96
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: about the coin here, guess Penny likes the Falcons. No, No,

97
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: the penny did not land on the side of the Falcons.

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: I did, I do? I believe you were doctoring the

99
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: penny results. Why would you pick the Falcons? That's a

100
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: bad pick, all right. Next up Washington at Philadelphia. This

101
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: game is a Fox game. Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis,

102
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: the voice of Madden, will be calling the game. The

103
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: Eagles opened an eight and a half point favorite. They

104
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: are a double digit favorite. This is the biggest point

105
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: spread as we are recording this on the fifth Hour

106
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: with Ben Mallory, as we're doing this in real time.

107
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: This is the biggest point spread in the NFL this weekend. Uh,

108
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: And I am going to be a contrarian here. I'm

109
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna take the Washington d Skins plus ten points in

110
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: this particular game. And I'll tell you why. First of all, Uh,

111
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I get that they're loaded. I I am

112
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: also optimistic the Eagles will have a great season. We

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: don't know yet if these jigsaw puzzle pieces are gonna

114
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: fit together. Philadelphia had thirty percent of its roster turnover

115
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: from last year's playoff team. They have plausibly better players

116
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: in Philly, but they haven't really played together in a

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: real game. Philadelphia showed complete apathy like many of these

118
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: teams did in the preseason. So we don't know. We

119
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: think we know, but we don't know. It's also the

120
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: first rodeo for Carson Wentz, who's consistently been injured. Here,

121
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles have no backup quarterback. They don't, uh, you know,

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: so the old guy who's a high school coach, and

123
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles also have questions on the back side of

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: their defense. Now. Secondly, the Redskins already bad team. They

125
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: it is dysfunction junction. That's obvious. Uh. They're kind of

126
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: like a division in one double a team. It's the

127
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: way I would look at the at the red Skins.

128
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: They got holes all over the roster. I love Darius Guys.

129
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I think this guy is gonna be great, you know,

130
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: if you can do that on a bad team. But

131
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: that said, even bad teams can hang around. There's this perception, well,

132
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a bad team, you're gonna get blown out.

133
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 1: You know. Usually bad teams lose close games. Good teams

134
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: win close games. And case keenum, he's good for at

135
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: least a couple of decent quarters of football with his

136
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: moxie and all that. He only takes you so far.

137
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: And in general, one of my beliefs as a gamblers,

138
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: anytime you get over a touchdown in a divisional game,

139
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: you've got to take it. This is the divisional game.

140
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: These teams played each other twice a year. You take

141
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: the points. Getting double digits in an NFL game when

142
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: most games are decided by a touchdown, unless hail to

143
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: the Redskins, hail to covering. So the pick here is Washington.

144
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: The final score, Philly is gonna win the game, but

145
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: the Redskins are gonna cover. Philly twenty seven Washington twenty three.

146
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Penny picking guest on here, it's Penny likes the Redskins.

147
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Also really yeah, copying my work there, guests bad telling

148

00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: t s Suck Suck, Suck, suck suck. This game is

151
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: a CBS game. Kevin Harlan and Rich Gett. You Kevin

152
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: Harland guy. You like Kevin Harlan of course right between

153
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: the eyes. Yeah. I like Harlan. I like his energy.

154
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: He's a good radio guy too. I've interviewed him before.

155
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: He's a good he seems like a good dude. Yeah,

156
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: he seems like a guy. Wasn't his dad a GM

157
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Dad's a GM and his daughter is

158
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: now a sports coster too, So it runs in the family.

159
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: There you go, the family business. But the Buffalo and

160
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the Jets. The Jets open to three and a half

161
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: point favorite. The Jets are currently a three point favorite.

162
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: The pick here, the pick is in, and I'm gonna

163
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: take Buffalo. I I'm taking the Bills here, and I'll

164
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: tell you why. Uh to start with, I am not

165
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: sold on the Jets. I'm not. Every year my entire life,

166
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: the same thing happens. It's the typical New York hyperbo lee.

167
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: The Jets go out sign a couple of players, draft

168
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: some hotshot guy in the top ten of the draft,

169
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: and then we're off to the races. How great Gang

170
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: Green is gonna be? And this year they added Levian

171
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: Bell for example. He arrived and they're talking about the

172
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: resurgence of Sam Donald in year two and he played

173
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: well at the end of last year. They also signed

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: pretty good linebacker from the Ravens, C. J. Moseley, who

175
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: they brought over. And there's some other defensive pickups along

176
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: the way. And so the media is like, well, the

177
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: Jets are ten wind they could they could flirt with

178
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: ten wins. I'm not buying it. I am in a

179
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Missouri State motto. I'm in a show me state of

180
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: mind here with the Jets, I just don't think they're

181
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: as good as the hyperer. The Jets have a shaky

182
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: pass defense. Uh and in pass catch, I think even

183
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: the pass catcher is the bigger problem. They they appear

184
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: to be a work in progress. And the other thing

185
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: you're picking the Bills is not a vote of confidence

186
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. Like that guy Robbie the Mariner fan,

187
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: who's a kool Aid drinking Josh Allen sickophan. I am

188
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: not endorsing Josh Allen. He is the compass rose type

189
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: of quarterback, which I despise. He throws it all over

190
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the place. You don't know where it's gonna go. Uh

191
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: is helter skelter and all that throwing the ball. But

192
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: I am gonna ride with the Bills defense. The Bills

193
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: defense is legit. Buffalo had the second ranked defense in

194
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: the NFL owing the Ravens last year allowed less yards

195
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: per game. Than Buffalo. Didn't that hard to believe and

196
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: wrap your head around. But the defense has been upgraded.

197
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: They added a top ten pick, a guy who I

198
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be pretty good. You know, as much

199
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: as I care about defensive, big fat guys defensively in

200
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, who's added to that defense, And so they

201
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: made a couple of other changes. I believe the Bills

202
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: win this game outright. As a live dog in a

203
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: divisional game, I'm gonna take the Buffalo Bills twenty three,

204
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: the Jets twenty your final score, and the Penny picking

205
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: on Benny versus the Penny. Oh Man, Sam, I am

206
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: at home. Penny has the New York Jets. Really, Jets sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks.

207
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: You gonna have a quarterback to win this league? Pen.

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Don't we need Levian Bell to have a rude introduction

209
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: to the Wouldn't it be better if like Levian Bell

210
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: fumbles three times and the you know what I mean,

211
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 1: Like he just said it runs for thirty yards and

212
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: just has a trying experience. I think that would be

213
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: better for the talk radio show. Yeah, and don't forget

214
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: time Montgomery. It's his backup. So if Montgomery just like

215
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: walks off the field for some unknown reason, that would

216
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: be perfect for your Jets. Open up there. I'm right

217
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: there with you and Sam Donald. You know, usually support

218
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: the USC football program. Donald's like, know not, I need

219
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: to see more. He's gonna have a great relationship with

220
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: Adam Gates moving forward in nineteen Yeah, crazy eyes Adam Gaze.

221
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: That's right, he's making his Jets coaching debut. We gotta

222
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: we gotta mention that, all right. Next up Baltimore at Miami.

223
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: We gotta keep the train moving, Gascon, stay with me.

224
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: Baltimore at Miami is a CBS game. Andrew Catalan is

225
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: that his name? You're a TV guy? And James Lofton?

226
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: How about James Lofton? How James gotta be in his sixties?

227
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Now do anything? It sounds good to everything on there.

228
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: He's good man. You guys had like a longer career

229
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: TV than he had did playing list a long time,

230
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: didn't he stopped playing in the late eighties, early nineties

231
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: something like that. Uh well, I remember with the Packers Packers,

232
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: and I think he played with the Raiders. I think

233
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't know he bounced around, But anyway, that's the bad.

234
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: That's the TV broadcast crew. The game is in Miami.

235
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: It is going to be toasty, toasty, as it usually

236
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: is in South Florida. Early in the year. The Ravens

237
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: opened up a four point favorite, and this is all

238
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: the way up to six and a half after the

239
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins traded away their their top offensive lineman, one of

240
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: their better receivers at least last year, Kenny Stills, uh

241
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Laramie tons of both traded to the Texans. Right, but

242
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: for the year. Uh So, I'm gonna actually again be

243
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: a contrary in here. I'm gonna take the Dolphins, all right,

244
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: And the thinking behind this the Ravens I believe will

245
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: win the game. But the value is the Dolphins. Yes

246
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: they are a bad team, Yes they management is trying

247
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: to tank the season. I don't disagree with any of that,

248
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: but it's the season opener. And Ryan Fitzpatrick has a

249
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: way of getting guys to play for him. He's got

250
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: some kind of that Swengali effect where he's able to

251
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: get guys to play for Most NFL games are decided,

252
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: as I've said earlier, by a touchdown or less, and

253
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: even bad teams are able to lose close games on

254
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: a regular basis. And so you're talking about home field

255
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: being worth three points, generally down the middle three points,

256
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: and so the Ravens are six and that point so

257
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Vegas and the people that set the lines. In my

258
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: mind and my warped behind, maybe I'm wrong in this,

259
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: but they they believe the Ravens are nine and a

260
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: half points better than the Dolphins, even on the line

261
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: six and a half. I disagree with that. I don't

262
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: trust Lamar Jackson until I see him be more than

263
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: a one trick pony. Much like Josh Allen we talked

264
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: about earlier in Buffalo. The key for the Dolphins in

265
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: this particular game is obvious, right, you try to win

266
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: the turnover battle Fitzpatrick, that's one of his bugaboos, turning

267
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: the ball over. But you also simply put eight nine

268
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: man fronts and you dare Lamar Jackson to throw the

269
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: ball down the field that it matriculate the ball down

270
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: the field. As the late Hank Stram used to stay

271
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: back in the day when I was a kid listening

272
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: to him on the radio, that the Dolphin players will

273
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: show some fight early in the year. Eventually they'll wake

274
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: up one day and they'll realize, oh crap, we're terrible,

275
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: and then that and then that's a different conversation. But again,

276
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: too many points here for a road team with a

277
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: one dimensional runnee one trick pony quarterback in Lamar Jackson.

278
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: The final score, Ravens win the game, but Dolphins win

279
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: the money. Baltimore twenty four, Miami twenty The Penny picks

280
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Penny going at the home Dog likes Miami as well.

290
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: If he's doing the game, it's not one of the

291
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: top games. Isn't that he's on that list? Yeah? But

292
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: you should be nice because I An Eagle's son actually

296
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: he's like so young, Whipper snapper. That's right, straight out

Speaker 1: of college from Syracuse to the hardwood court in the NBA.

298

Speaker 1: Good for him, that's right. I hope he's a nice guy.

299
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,600

304
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: the Clipper broadcasters over the years. They love me. I

305
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: wonder why not. Yeah, well, you're a fanboy. No I'm not.

306
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: I am an objective observer of greatness. It also helps

307
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: that you're like three ft taller than everybody else in

308
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: that broadcasting team too. Wow, how about you anyway? Listen,

309
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City's a focus guest gun. All right, it's the

310
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: fifth Hour with it's Penny versus the Pen. It's all

311
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: about picking games. Kansas City at Jacksonville. The line on

312
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: this game opened up Chiefs a five and half point favorite.

313
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: They are down. The money is coming in on Jacksonville.

314
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: This has been adjusted two points in. Kansas City, who

315
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: was in the ANC Championship game last year's now three

316
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite on the road again hot

317
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: weather in Jacksonville. The conditions not not the greatest, but

318
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: it's early season football. It's normally how it is. I

319
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: am gonna take Kansas City in this game. I did

320
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: consider Jacksonville. I did try to come up because they're

321
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: a home dog. I love home dogs. There's a lot

322
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: of value in that. But I I couldn't put myself

323
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: that far over the edge to actually pick Jacksonville. So

324
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes he did

325
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: have his worst game. I think one of the reasons

326
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: people are betting on Jacksonville. He had his worst game

327
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: last season against Jacksonville in Kansas City, and now this

328
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: is the rematch situation. I do believe in zigging when

329
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: everyone else zaggs if you will, but it does have

330
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: its limits. There's an exception to every rule, and when

331
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: handicapping this particular game, when looking at the numbers in

332
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: this particular name, I could not come up with a

333
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: scenario in which Jacksonville was able to score enough, like

334
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: outside of five turnovers. Even if Mahomes throws let's just

335
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: say three interceptions, Kansas City should still overwhelm jack Inville.

336
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have scored twenty five or more points in

337
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty one consecutive games. That goes before Patrick Mahomes goes

338
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: back to twenty seventeens, the longest streak ever in the NFL.

339
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't see that ending here. I believe they will

340
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: get over twenty five points, and if that is correct,

341
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't see a scenario Jacksonville can keep up. Now.

342
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: I know the counter argument is, hey, the Chiefs blow

343
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: on defense. I've got a high flying offense. There's a

344
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: huge talent gap though, between the defense and the offense.

345
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: And there's also on this in this game, there's a

346
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: talent gap between the Chiefs high flying offense. Uh and

347
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: and Jackson And jackson has got some big name players

348
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: on defense. They think they're gonna be pretty good. But

349
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: the offensive thing. Nick Foles is essentially a caretaker of

350
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: an offense. His magic pixie dust is in Philadelphia. He

351
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: ain't in Jacksonville. He's not He's not gonna be a

352
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: difference maker. Uh For for Jacksonville. He's a game manager.

353
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: And Patrick Mahomes is like an oil painting. Uh So,

354
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: I would expect Kansas City to jump out by mid

355
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: second quarter to a nice lead and then not look

356
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: back in the second half because Jacksonville, their whole strategy,

357
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: I would imagine, is gonna be grounded, pound, run the

358
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: football and all that and try to beat into that

359
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: Swiss cheese defense of of Kansas City. But I don't

360
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: think it's gonna work. I think jackson will score because

361
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs don't have a great defense. But I'm gonna

362
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: take Kansas City. Your final score Kansas City thirty four,

363
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: Jacksonville twenty four, and the penny picks. The betting public

364
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: took Jacksonville, but Benny and the penny go of Kansas City,

365
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: Kansall City. You ever been to Kansas City. I have.

366
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: I've actually been there twice for Chiefs Broncos Sunday Night football.

367
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Look at you your big Bronco apology. I love Kansas

368
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: CITYBECU is awesome. It is an amazing food city. It's

369
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: a nice kind of I like. I like the vibe.

370
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm down with Kansas City. I heard you're a big

371
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: Larry Johnson and end too. That's part of the reason

372
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: why I like Kansas City. He was my favorite Chiefs

373
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: player when and he's a very normal human being. I

374
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. I think he has

375
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: a great social media presence, is he Also he's not

376
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: a fashionist. He doesn't like the catwalks, so we know

377
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: he's not a fashions Be sure to catch live editions

Speaker 1: This is gonna be the weekly thing here during football season.

386

00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: if if we are so inclined for big college games

388
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: of the weekend. But we're gonna start This is just football.

389
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: This is NFL football, is what it is. I'm so

390
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: excited about that. And tell a friend about it. If

391
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: you have a buddy who's a degenerate gambler wants to

392
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: hear opinions on games and what people think is gonna happen.

393
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: When what an inadamant object object like a penny thinks

394
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: as well, Now we will mix it. I do this

395
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: on the radio show when I've done this for the

396
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: last time many years, so I figured since I can't

397
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: get answers unfortunately on Twitter, but I'll still give you

398
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: the question and you can kind of let that marinate

399
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: in your head. So here's the mini pop quiz here

400
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: to test your football knowledge. Who was the quarterback who

401
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: led his team to the biggest road comeback in NFL history?

402
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: All right, again, that's the question. I will give you

403
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: the answer coming up here in uh in a little bit.

404
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: But who is the quarterback who led his team to

405
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: the biggest road comeback in NFL history? Uh, the answer

406
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: coming up here in a bit. This is a regular

407
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: season now. Meanwhile, next game up Tennessee at Cleveland. It

408
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: is a CBS game, and this is the big game

409
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: over at CBS this week. This is the game that

410
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: is in vogue. Uh. This is the craze of their

411
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: their channel over there. They have the Cleveland Browns. They're

412
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: buying into the Live Cleveland and Tennessee. They think this

413
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: is the top game they got on their channel. So

414
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: we'll see if that's correct. The Browns at home opened

415
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: a five point favorite. Cleveland's now a five and a half. Hey,

416
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: by the way, before we get into the games, do

417
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: you have any quirky things like Jim nance who likes

418
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: eating his toast cooked a certain way and he has

419
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: a photo. Do you do anything thing like that? A

420
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: couple of things. Energy drinks always three hours before kickoff

421
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: or before opening tip. Always an energy drink. Yeah, I

422
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: have to do. You have to have snacks at a

423
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: certain time and the all that. Like no, but I

424
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: remember listening to Vince Gully. He used to say that

425
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: he would suck on jelly ranchers during games or just

426
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: before first pitch so his mouth would stay somewhat I

427
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: guess dry, so he wouldn't have to drink water, because

428
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: that's the worst thing. You have to go drink water

429
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: and then go to the restaurant right after. Bob Miller

430
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: told me a great story one time where he had

431
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: a name dropping just we're in l a right. Bob

432
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: Millier told me at back in the day he had

433
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: to go to the restroom and could not. He was

434
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia at the Spectrum and actually used like a

435
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: gatorade bottle underneath the desk to go to the restroom

436
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: and then like, manager, let me tell you something. I

437
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: don't want to be sexist guesst Gump, but it is

438
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: a a competitive advantage the mail anatomy provide. Has that

439
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: ever happened to you during the live show? Uh no,

440
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: I did vomit one time in the studio and vomited

441
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: in the studio. Yeah, but you're not really an alcohol drinker.

442
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: So was it bad food? No, I had. I had

443
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: like the flu. And this is years ago. And the

444
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: funniest thing about it gas gun hand the god my

445
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: engineer was on the weekend overnight. My engineer didn't even notice.

446
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: He did not even notice I vomited and he's on

447
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: the other side of the glass and he didn't even

448
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: realize that I had done that because I had. I

449
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: was very ill, and I never used sick days of

450
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I just don't do it, and so

451
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: I like to get everyone sick sick that I work

452
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: with it. So but anyway, I showed up and I

453
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: was just I shouldn't have been there. It was a

454
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: bad job by me, and uh yeah, I vomited in

455
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: the In the strategy, we should do a separate addition

456
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: of this podcast, making note of this guest count because

457
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: you're the you gotta keep track of this crap broadcast

458
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: tales from the Naked City of broadcasting. I got. I

459
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: got some good Scully stories, Ross Porter's stories when I

460
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: did stuff with the Dodgers years ago, and uh, we

461
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: tell some of the famous lines about the great Ralph Lawler, who,

462
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: by the way, the Clipper broadcaster, just retired in the

463
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: Pro Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend. Ralph sent me

464
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: a message there in Springfield, mass and so that's that's

465
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: pretty cool for him. So I'm happy for Ralph, who

466
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: you talk about polishing turds. I mean that guy, man,

467
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: you're putting lipstick on a pig. And he did that

468
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: for years with just morbid Clipper teams and always had

469
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: a smile on his face. And and now the Clippers

470
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: are finally good, really good, and he's gone just absolut

471
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: that's like Vince Scully, right, Vince Scully retires and all

472
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: this on. The Dodgers are back to back World Series

473
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: runs and well it actually started with Scully. But seventh straight,

474
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: uh seven straight division titles. They're about to win the

Speaker 1: these podcasts that I Hearts putting out. Yeah, I mean

494
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: they're they're going all right, So Tennessee at Cleveland the

495
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Browns of five and a half point favorite, and I'm

496
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna take Tennessee here now I I I love the Browns.

497
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: I think the Browns are gonna be great. I believe

498
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: in that, but I'm not so sure this week and

499
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: number one Freddie Kitchens, he's making his debut, is the

500
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: big cohuna there the head coach Odell Beckham gets his

501
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: first dance with the Browns here. This is a hype game.

502
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: We mentioned CBS is sending their top crew with Nance

503
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: and Romo to the game. Uh. But you know everyone

504
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: around Cleveland is all about the hype. And I buy

505
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: into the hype. But this is not a good spot

506
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: for the Brownies, and I'll tell you why. Even though

507
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: they are at home, the Titans present a litany of

508
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: problems here. The positive is home cooking. The Browns did

509
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: go five into their last seven games last year, but

510
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: this this Tennessee team is is gonna be a fringe

511
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: playoff team again this particular year. Loved their defense, loved

512
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: the Titans defense. Uh. And in the second thing to

513
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: me the numbers two. I believe this game should be

514
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: about three. The Browns should be about a three point favorite. Uh.

515
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: The extra two and a half points, in my eyes,

516
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: are a direct result of hyperbole. And so if I'm

517
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: right on this that the gambling market has bumped this

518
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: up to five and a half as a result of

519
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: inflation because of public perception. I like to bet against that,

520
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: and the value is on Tennessee. I expect Baker Mayfield

521
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: to have uh some issues that Tennessee has gotta again

522
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: a very good defense here. Uh they'll, they'll, they'll put

523
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: the Browns in some tough spots. The problem I have

524
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: with Tennessee is Marcus Mariota and the Titans offense, which

525
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: looks to be riding the short bus again uh this season,

526
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: So you gotta you're gonna have to do something on office.

527
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: The Browns have a bunch of names on defense, first

528
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: round picks and all that. But I am gonna take

529
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: the Browns to win. But I'm gonna take the Titans

530
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: to cover Browns. Titans twenty four Penny picks. Penny settles

531
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: down and goes with the road team as well. Tennessee.

532
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: Al Right, we agree. Now, I gave you a pop

533
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: quiz earlier. I gotta pay the pay that off. Who

534
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: was the quarterback who led his team to the biggest

535
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: road comeback in NFL history? Do you have a guest, guest,

536
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take an educated guest and I'll say it's

537
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: your favorite quarterback one Peyton Manning with the Indianapolis Colts. No,

538
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: you should know me better than this guest, Gunn And

539
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put any kind of pro Peyton Manning

540
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: propagand out. Okay, that's wrong with you. Now, this is great.

541
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 1: This is I love this when the answer is an

542
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: obscure person. The greatest road comeback in NFL history. Brian

543
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: Hoyer engineered it. Brian Hoyer who did it while playing

544
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. This is only five years ago.

545
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: This is back in the Cleveland Browns were down three

546
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans, the matchup we just talked about.

547
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: It was the second quarter, twenty five point comeback. That

548
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: is the largest comeback by a road team in NFL history.

549
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: And Brian Hoyer, who's still lurking with the Colts. Uh,

550
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: he was the guy that did it. That's that's wild, man.

551
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable. I was just that Manning game against

552
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on money. Yeah. Yeah, that was

553
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: the last five minutes of the Monday night game, right,

554
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: And I remember that al Michaels lost his mind, and

555
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: that a couple of coins too. What you're talking about? Uh?

556
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Next up on the fifth hour with Ben Maller, it's

557
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams and the Carolina Panthers. It's on

558
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: Fox my former radio colleagues, someone who actually respected and

559
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: appreciated the great Chris Myers. I kid because I care.

560
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: We'll be calling this game and Darryl moose Johnson, the

561
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: old Dallas Cowboys SI by side. They will be waxing

562
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: poetic in the Fox box. That rocks. The Rams opened

563
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: up a two and a half point favorite. Rams are

564
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: favorite by two. Uh. I am going to take Carolina

565
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: in this game, and I'm gonna hold my nose while

566
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: I do it as a Ram apologist, but I'm gonna

567
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 1: take the Panthers. Uh. And I'll walk you through this now.

568
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: First of all, the Rams have been a great road

569
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: team under Sean McVeigh. It's a small sample size, but

570
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: their ten and two straight up in the last twelve roadies.

571
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: So the ten and two, that's a very good record,

572
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: not and not against the spread. But overall, they have

573
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: to get rid of the stigma from the Super Bowl loss.

574
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Everyone seems to think that teams are now going to

575
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: figure out the Rams offense. I don't buy that. No

576
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: team teams. I don't doubt teams are gonna try to

577
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: copy what Belichick did in the Super Bowl. It's whether

578
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: they they're able to pull it off. And and now

579
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: that the Rams have to adjust and McVeigh has got

580
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: to adjust, and Golf's gotta figure it out with McVeigh

581
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: leading him by the caller to figure it out. But

582
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to expect out of the Gates.

583
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: The Rams as they usually do, didn't show anything in

584
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: the preseason. I wouldn't think they're this is gonna be

585
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Secondly, you know Carolina has a

586
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: better defense. I don't think I'm going out in a

587
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: limb saying that the Panthers have a defense they believe

588
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be an elite defense. They fell apart near

589
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: the end last year, but everyone's healthy for the most

590
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: part to start the year, and they think they're gonna

591
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: mess with with Jered gb I I don't expect much

592
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: from Cam Newton. I think this is a close game,

593
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: is a back and forth type of game. Uh and

594
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: home underdogs cover the spread more often than not. I

595
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: know I've picked a couple of road favorites here, but

596
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: in this spot, two good teams. I'm gonna take Carolina

597
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: to cover. But spoiler alert, I don't think they win

598
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: the game. I think this is a one point game.

599
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: And I know the public almost always bets on road favorites,

600
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people that love the Rams

601
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: here even though it's gone down by a half point.

602
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: So Rams thirty one Panthers thirty in a thriller. That's right,

603
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: that's right. You can ram it all day. You can

604
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: ram it discussing, but the penny goes with you and

605
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. All right, So we agree on that

606
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Cam Newton, through divine interventions, able to play here.

607
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: And he heard his ankle in that exhibition game a

608
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, did a whole monologue about how

609
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: he might not play. Was it pretty good? There was

610
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: a great monel. I give it like a six six

611
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: on the monologue school scale of what wow? Really you know,

612
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean you are replaceable? Understand that? I mean everybody is, yeah, yeah,

613
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: they might put well, I got replaced by a can

614
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: of soup. Nine, I got fired from the radio show

615
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: and they put on your fighting for like six hours.

616
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: Weren't you for like thirty days? I was? It was

617
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: six months and twenty six days. I was in radio

618
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: purgatory and uh, and then I had to fill in.

619
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 1: I worked. We should talk about that sometime. We used

620
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: to be a separate podcast on Radio Story. So we're

621
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: coming up with ideas as we go. Here. Guess I

622
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: know I used to listen to you twenty or thirty

623
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: years ago. Stop that you are such a liar. You

624
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: are lying, you bombastic schmuck. Alright, seez I guess we

625
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: can curse you know what? You are an asshole? There

626
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: I said it. You're an asshole, all right. Anyway, let's

627
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: get to the late games now spending versus the Pennyman

628
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: versus medal Uh, the late games. Santa Clara. This is

629
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: a late game Santa Clara at Tampa Bay. They don't

630
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: play in San Francisco. They play in Santa Clara. By

631
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: the way, I'll be spending some time not far from

632
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: Santa Clara this weekend. That's right, surprise. Yeah. Anyway, Santa

633
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: Clara at Tampa Bay. It is on Fox. You better

634
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: watch Friend of the show. Good dude, I love this guy.

635
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Albert on the Fox Box that rocks and ron

636
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 1: Da Barber. We'll have to add some Kenny albert stories there,

637
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: but it's great Kenny. I was introduced by to him

638
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: by Sports with Coleman, my radio friend in Baltimore. And

639
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: every time Kenny comes to Los Angeles and does uh,

640
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: whether it's a hockey game or a uh, you know,

641
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: boxing match or whatever. You know. He has a lot

642
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: of basketball. He doesn't knicks, and I'll go say hello

643
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: to Kenny, will catch up. It's pretty cool. He's a

644
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: good guy. Kenny does everything football, basketball, baseball, hockey, Olympics.

645
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: Guy's hustling man. Kenny albert Is, He's hustling. He spent

646
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot of time at LaGuardia and JFK there. He

647
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: lives in the New York area, flying all over the place.

648
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: All right. So Santa Clara at Tampa Bay Bucks open

649
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: to two and a half point favorite. They are currently

650
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: favorite by one. I am not drinking the kool aid

651
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: on the Niners. I'm gonna take the Buccaneers in this game.

652
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: And I'll walk you through this now. To me, your

653
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: guest is as good as mine. At which Jimmy Garoppolo

654
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: is gonna show up. He had a very mixed performance

655
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: in the exhibition game. Is hard to get a good

656
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: read on that small sample size against vanilla defenses. He

657
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: looked to me the game I watched the forty Niners

658
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: played against I think it was the Broncos, he looked

659
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: like damaged goods. So until I see something tangible from

660
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: this guy and say that Garoppolo is gonna be back

661
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: as a and X factors as a real impact player

662
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: for the for the forty Niners, I I just can't

663
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: go there. And and we we will get a good

664
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: look at him against the middle of the Roadbucks defense

665
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: this weekend. I'm just not optimistic. The Niners made a

666
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: few changes around their offense. We'll see if it in Bruce.

667
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: But the key is Jimmy Garoppolo. And secondly, Bruce Arians

668
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: making his triumphant return, taking an amazing modern medical miracle

669
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: as he had to retire for health reasons in Arizona

670
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: and in a year he's back, an amazing comeback. But

671
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians making his his debut on the sidelines with

672
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. He's supposed to be the quarterback whisper, and

673
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: if that's true, then Jamis Winston is gonna be really good, right.

674
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: The bulk of Tampa's roster, I believe I would compare

675
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: it to deep Doo Doo. That's what I could would

676
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: compare the roster there in Carolina. It's a food bar group.

677
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: I expect lots of points to be scored in this game.

678
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: The forty Niners looking at what should happen this year.

679
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: The weak spot in their defenses in the secondary. Uh

680
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: last year they were horrifical. They give up the most

681
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. Last season they had the fewest interceptions. I

682
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of big name changes there that

683
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited about, so it does not appear to me

684
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: that they're all that much better defensively, which makes this

685
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: a terrible matchup. It's gonna be hot, humid, nasty weather

686
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: in Tampa, as it normally is earlier in the year.

687
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston should should slice them up? Should slice them

688
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: being the forty Niners defense up in this game. And

689
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: by the way, the forecast, just to prove that I'm

690
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: not making this up, ninety one degrees and nice and humid,

691
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: sweaty weather. And that's not Bay Area weather in well,

692
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: it is the Bay Area weather in the Bay like

693
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: Tampa and St. Pete. But in the other Bay area,

694
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: the West Coast Bay area, not not so much. Your

695
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: final score Bucks thirty five forty niners, thirty two Penny

696
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: picks West Coast to East Coast. Team. Penny is picking

697
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Alright, Penny picking Tampa Bay Bay. Exciting. Now, uh,

698
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: let me give you another football quiz here, pop football quiz,

699
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: And here it is Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Bounds.

700
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: He has touchdown passes in all thirteen games he has started,

701
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: trailing only for as far as career opening streaks. He's

702
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: trailing only Hall of Famer Kurt Warner and Blank. Those

703
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: are the only two players that have had longer weeks

704
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: to start their career of touchdown passes per game. Again,

705
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield touchdown past all thirteen starts. He trails only

706
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner and Blank among the players who started there

707
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: their career uh for as touchdowns per game. So that's

708
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: the question. The answer coming up in a bit. Next up,

709
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: Detroit at Arizona. It's on Fox. Now, this is the

710
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: game here. Guesscon that they don't think it's gonna be

711
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: very good, you know how I know that. I know

712
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: because you got the E List broadcast career. Right. Yeah,

713
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: my guy Dick Stockton that I grew up with, Dick Stockton.

714
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: I love the man. We've I used to do the

715
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: Blitz on Sundays where it was one of one of

716
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: my favorite parts of that. We got to talk to

717
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: Dick Stockton every couple of weeks, and I love the guy.

718
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: I hear his voice. I flashed back to when I

719
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: was twelve years old he was doing a big Celtic

720
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: Laker game or something like that, or a baseball game. Uh,

721
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: it's just it's nostalgia for me. He's lost a little

722
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: off as fastball, but he's still doing I loved it.

723
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: Fox still sends him out there because people lampoon Dick Stockton.

724
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 1: People are very cruel, these these young people on social media.

725
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: How if you know about that? Uh and and so,

726
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: I I love that Stockton still gets to do the game.

727
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: But he's doing he does the worst games he does.

728
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: But at least, if you're looking at this game as

729
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: a football fan, at least you get two quarterbacks that

730
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: have big arms. I know you hate Kyler Murray, but

731
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: at least has a strong emotion hates a strong emotion,

732
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: the confidence in him. You call him a mini me,

733
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: you call alligator arms alligator arms. I've used that line

734
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: like that grasshopper, I think tall as a grasshopper definicate

735
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: on a starting quarterback of a National Football League. Alright,

736
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: shut up, So Destroit Arizona the game open to pick him.

737
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: The Lions are a two and a half point favorite.

738
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 1: And just to prove that I am not some kind

739
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: of hater here, I am actually gonna take the Cardinals

740
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: in this game. I I have to come to terms

741
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: with this, but I'm gonna take the Cardinals in this game.

742
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. Kyler Murray, as you said,

743
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: he begins lie as a starter in the NFL. We'll

744
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: see if if alligator Arms Murray has some beginners luck here.

745
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't expect much. Detroit. I believe will win the game,

746
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: but I cannot bet on the Lions as a road dog.

747
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: I have a stigma when it comes to the Lions

748
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: as a road dog. I just cannot cannot do it.

749
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: Will not do it. Don't want to be a party

750
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: to it. Don't trust Matthew Stafford in these spots. Now

751
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: that's it. I love the Lions defense. Like the Lions

752
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: uh defense should be one of the top defenses in

753
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. They added Trade Flowers from the Patriots, and

754
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: they've got Damon Snack Harrison. I love the nickname Snacks,

755
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: big run stuffer up front they got from the Giants.

756
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: Darius Slay is there in the secondary, pretty good player.

757
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: They have the makings of one of the better defense.

758
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got some some centerpiece players there as

759
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: the cornerstones of that defense, so I think they'll be

760
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: very good. But yet I'm picking Arizona to cover the spread.

761
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: This is a game that features two bad teams. This

762
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: should be a pick them game and open to pick them.

763
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: If it was a pick him, I would take the Lions.

764
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: But I don't want to give any points at all

765
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: with with Matthew Stafford, I don't. I do not. We'll

766
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: see what Cliff Kingsbury and his millennial coaching style will turn.

767
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: I I would like to see, like before halftime, maybe

768
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: like mid second quarter, Kingsbury has all the players pull

769
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: out their electronic devices and they can update the Graham

770
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: like if they're trailing, wouldn't that be great? Like everyone

771
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: has their phones on the bench and they all right,

772
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: you gotta post something on the Graham because we're losing

773
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns to the Lions. Wonderful might have to

774
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: do like a workout video in between breaks then, right,

775
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: is that's what they usually do? Or like hey look

776
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: at me eat something? Hashtag yeah they have Yeah, they

777
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: have a snack. They have a snack break where they

778
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: get granola bars and juice boxes orange peels. Like playing

779
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: peewee football. Over under on how many sacks for over under?

780
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: On how many sacks for the quarterback of the Cardinals

781
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I'm gonna say four and a half. Oh

782
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: as that's the over. I'll take the over. I believe

783
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: he will be sacked regularly. Deer in the headlights situation

784
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: over fair enough? All right, I gotta pay off the

785
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: final score. By the way, we'll get the penny pick.

786
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Lions to win, but the Cardinals to cover.

787
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: So Lions sixteen, Cardinals fourteen in a Dick Stockton spectacular.

788
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: Uh penny likes the home team from the Desert Arizona

789
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: as well. All right, let's get back to that payoff.

790
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: We'll pay off that football quiz. Baker Mayfield touchdown past

791
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: all thirteen starts, trailing only on the all time list

792
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: to start their careers. Kurt Warner and Blank. Now Kurt Warner,

793
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: who's a Hall of Famer. He had twenty three consecutive

794
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: games with a touchdown. That's number one. Who's number two? Guest?

795
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: Go on, you gotta guest. Now you're listening to the podcast.

796
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: I can't read your answers on the air because, uh,

797
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, this was already recorded.

798
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: But you just lock it in your head and then

799
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: you can pack yourself on the back if you got

800
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: it right. What's what's the your answer? I'm gonna go

801
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: with another Arizona quarterback, Jake the Snake Plumber. Jake the

802
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: Snake Plumber, fine, fine man who also he pulled the

803
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. He quit Jake Plumber. He pulled the Andrew

804
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: Luck before it was Andrew Like what you used to

805
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: call it? The Jake Plumber? Uh no, the correct answer.

806
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: Here's a quarterback that was good, but nobody remembers Brad Johnson.

807
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: Oh my, remember Brad Johnson. He did this with the

808
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: Vikings when he started his career. But he he won

809
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with Jon Gruden and the Buccaneers. But

810
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: he was their quarterback when they beat the Raiders and

811
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: the Superpens. Right, yeah, so Brad Johnson, he had fifteen

812
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: games in a row to start his career with the

813
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. So that is the answer, right next time,

814
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: Just just for clarity to you said they Detroit Arizona game,

815
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: You'd never want to give Matthew Stafford points, right, I

816
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: never wanted to lay points with That's what I meant

817
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: to say. You trying to be a schmuck. But people

818
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: are coming here, people are gonna be making money off

819
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: of you, so I want to make sure that they

820
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: get their accurate information. I know, it's just life and death.

821
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: This is very important what we're doing here. It's people

822
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: Taco Bell with the money that they went him from

823
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: these transactions. We're doing earth shattering podcast is what we're

824
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: doing here. But my theory, guess on is I'm pretty

825
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: lucy goosey when it comes us. I believe the listener

826
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: is smart. You think the listeners in it. I know

827
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 1: the listener knows that. Um. The way I do radio

828
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: is I'm kind of in the ballpark. You know, I'm

829
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: close and you have to figure out what I meant

830
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: that's how I do. I think the Ryle people up

831
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: like that anyway. All right, Next up Cincinnati at Seattle,

832
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: Spirodidas at one point the voice of the Lakers and

833
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: the Knicks. I don't think he's the voice of either

834
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: of them now. But Spirodidas and Adam arch Aletta are

835
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: calling this game on CBS. You know, I worked with

836
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: Adam Marcealletta at NBC years ago. He was one of

837
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: the commentators they had. I heard you quit from television

838
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: from that. Uh no, they the show got canceled. I

839
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: was so bad at TV. The entire show got canceled.

840
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah that's embarrassing. Yeah, I mean no one watched that show.

841
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: I loved it. That was great TV money. Man. I

842
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: flew me back to Connecticut. Every month I got a blast.

843
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: Was it was it daytime or nighttime radio? Uh? It

844
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: was no, I'm a TV There's that the one thing

845
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: I hated. But we should do another podcast about the TVs?

846
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: How many have Well, we gotta do this every week, man,

847
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: I need content. Dude, all right, come on, we can't

848
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: waste all our material right now. I can't give a

849
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: keynote addressed on everything that's happened in the first podcast

850
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonnavite you back to Saddleback College for

851
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: a keynote speaking session. They will never allow me, but

852
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I mean, I would love

853
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: to come back as big man on campus, you know,

854
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: teach the young broadcasters it Saddleback. Uh. They never bring me.

855
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: They never bring me back. I think they're embarrassed by me.

856
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: As Saddleback College they got. But if you're if you're

857
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: in southern California, that is a handed gud. That's a

858
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: great place. I don't even change. They have a college

859
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: radio station there and the radio pro. That's a good

860
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: place to learn your radio and and and put your

861
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: chops in in radio. I did. And you know anyway, Uh,

862
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: shameless plug. What's next? See a Cincinnati at Seattle? As

863
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: I said, I was Spirodidas and Adam Marshallett of Seahawks

864
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: opened a nine point favorite. They are currently a nine

865
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite to pick. Here is the

866
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. I'm gonna take the Cincinnati Bengals, and I'll

867
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: tell you why. The Seahawks are clearly the better team.

868
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: They invigorated their locker room with the trade they acquire

869
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney and all that nice way to energize your

870
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: locker room before the season. I'm skeptical. I'm a skeptical

871
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: how good clown he's gonna be right away? I guess

872
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: we'll find out. The Bengals are a very poor team.

873
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: They look like a dumpster fire. There's a lot of

874
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: positive vibrations in the Pacific Northwest, and Pete Carroll normally

875
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: is on the happy sauce anyway, and Russell Wilson and

876
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: friends very happy. But Cincinnati, these are the Bengals who

877
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: are back to your daddy's Bengals, like Zach Taylor is

878
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: making his debut as an NFL head coach here with

879
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: zero zero buzz. Right, there's no no evidence at all

880
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: all that this is going to go well. They have

881
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of bit players. They've got a roster that

882
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: is a mix of chopped liver and mince meat. Uh,

883
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: that's what they've got round Chuck is what the Bengals

884
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: appear to be. But even that, even even when that said,

885
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: I still believe that Cincinnati is the right side in

886
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: this game. Even though the Bengals will wish they had

887
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis back. Uh so so even with that, but

888
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton has been regularly shell shocked in hostile environments

889
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: like Seattle in the past. Nevertheless, both teams are healthy.

890
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: Nobody gets up for the Bengals. This is not a

891
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: featured game for the Seahawks. And you're you're getting almost

892
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: ten points. I know A J. Green is not playing.

893
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: The Bengals are are shorthanded. But you run Joe Mix

894
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: and Giovanni Bernard. You run these guys into the ground

895
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: and play, you know, you play keep away here as

896
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: much as you can, try to keep the game short.

897
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Seahawks thirty one, Bengals twenty three.

898
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: Ben and the Penny agree with the red Rifle. He's

899
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: going with the road team, going with the road team. Alright,

900
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: very very sly. Penny has tailed you in the last

901
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: six picks. I think, Ben, is that right? But that's

902
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: that's a good job. Yeah, that's a that's a good

903
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: job by the by the penny, absolutely all right. It

904
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: is the it is the maiden voyage here, if Benny

905
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: versus the Penny, we're picking every NFL game against the number.

906
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: Next up, Indianapolis at the Los Angeles Chargers. You've got

907
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: Greg Gumble and Trent Green. This is CBS game. Charges

908
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: opened up a six and a half point favorite. The Chargers,

909
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: actually the Charges opening three and a half point favorere

910
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: they that bumped up to six and a half as

911
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: the Charges favorite by six and a half. The the

912
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: pick here is the Colts. But take the Colts in

913
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: this game, even though, again the Colts I believe will

914
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: not be a great team this year. The value was

915
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: on the side of Indianapolis. Life begins after the death

916
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: of Andrew lux career this week. Uh. And you know,

917
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette very poor quarterback statistically when he's played in

918
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. You can expect lots of incomplete passes, a

919
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes here. India is going to have it

920
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: just they're gonna be tipped on their side here when

921
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: they when they look at how this is gonna go,

922
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: uh offensively so, but I believe they will become a

923
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: ball control team with Marlon Mack running. Uh. And you

924
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: know the elite defense. Uh, that's the recipe that I

925
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: am counting on uh for for Indianapolis to keep the

926
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: game's close. I think their defense is still pretty good.

927
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball the offensive line. Secondly, the

928
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: Charges are talented. They have suffered a couple of freaky

929
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 1: injuries in training camp. And we'll see how Austin Ekeler

930
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: and the running game, the ensemble backfield does. They got

931
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of supporting actors there who met have trivialized,

932
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: who are now getting the opportunity to be a top

933
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: headliner in the drawing card for the for the running games.

934
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: So I think they'll be fine running the ball. I

935
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, Melvin Gordon is better than Austin Ekeler,

936
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's that much better than Austin

937
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: Ekeler and Melvin Gordon's personna and On Grotta. So even

938
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: with the shortcomings of Jacoby Brissette, this is too many points,

939
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: all right. There's not a six and a half point

940
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: spread between the Chargers and the Colts. You're getting almost

941
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown with a good defensive team. Understand they're on

942
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: the road, but I will take the dog now that again,

943
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: the Charges are gonna win the game, but they're not

944
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: going to cover the spreads of the values with the

945
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Chargers thirty Colts twenty four, No luck needed

946
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: penny going with the Colts as well. Alright, going with

947
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: the Colts as well. It is Benny versus the Penny

948
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: as we continue, as we roll on here on the

949
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: fifth hour with Ben Malley, this is the extended dance remix.

950
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: I just found out we're doing the Stendard Dance remix here.

951
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: And I love that we're doing Benny Versus the Penny

952
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: on the podcast because normally I would have already been

953
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: over if this had been the radio show, we would

954
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: have already been done by the clos for the clock.

955
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: Ben Mallay, Rn, I don't have to be about the

956
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: clock on the podcast, right I can. I can take

957
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: as long as I want. Now, is it accurate and

958
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: fair to say that you should thank me for this

959
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: because I actually had proposed this to last year, and

960
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: that your listeners should go to the podcast version of

961
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny? Is that fair to say? First

962
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: of all, you know you're a fisherman, you're fishing for

963
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: compan Secondly, this is my idea. All right, this is

964
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: my idea. It's your segment, but I don't know if

965
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: it was your idea. You're more of a mainstream radio

966
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: guy as opposed to multimedia guy. Uh. According to the

967
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: people that download the radio podcast, Uh, screw you. You

968
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: had all your your your lackeys subscribe to the podcast

969
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: teaser and all of a sudden give five star reviews.

970
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I laughed, my ass. I I was

971
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: showing everybody. I said, you can't believe what these idiots

972
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: wrote on these reviews. I mean comparing me to Howard

973
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: Stern and his prime and I mean it was hilarious.

974
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: I think it's it's the funniest thing. And that was

975
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things the Mallan militia, the p

976
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: Ones have done there for the podcast. There was no

977
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: content Gascon as you know, and yet we had. I

978
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: I think it was like seventy five reviews, all of

979
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: them five star reviewsed, not not a single one star.

980
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: Ready it was the best five fifth hour in podcast history. One.

981
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it was just great, possibly

982
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: the greatest, possibly the best podcast ever. Just might be

983
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: another person rode. Uh, it's pretty pretty funny. Uh So

984
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 1: I think your best social media tweet too, was following

985
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 1: the guy that responded to you and said I'll pass

986
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: And he said, much like Pete Carroll, you're in the

987
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: wrong right now. Yeah, they come back with that, but yeah, thanks,

988
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: and listen, you know, just because we've gotten a lot

989
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: of reviews, now we actually have content, like you're listening

990
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: to contest, so don't stop. I mean, that's one of

991
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: the things the big corporate muckety MUCKs and the big

992
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: shots that keep track of this crap. Uh, they like

993
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: to look at those reviews. It makes them feel good

994
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: about themselves and stuff. It makes me good feel good

995
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: about myself. So uh yeah, be great, you know, And

996
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: I know you're disingenuous, but you can still post a

997
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: nice review. It's good. I don't care. But of course,

998
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: now with Benny versus the opinion, I know you said

999
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 1: he might do some college football. Should you do anything

1000
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: or at least allow the listeners to pick a conference

1001
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 1: and maybe you do one game from that conference per week.

1002
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: And I think maybe we could do what you love

1003
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: doing polls. We could do like a poll on on Twitter,

1004
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: like which college game? You know, we could do like

1005
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: one college game or two college games, like like this weekend,

1006
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: the big college game is what L s U and Texas.

1007
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: I think in the Big Game this week, Texas is

1008
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: a dog at home. That's right, yeah, alright, So we're

1009
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: not picking that game because we gotta get back to football,

1010
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: right Otherwise they're gonna kick us out of this little

1011
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: podcast duty that wins, you're gonna you know, you're gonna

1012
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: have hell hell to pay. All right? Next up, what's

1013
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: the next time? Giants and Cowboys? Yes, yes, all right,

1014
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: Giants and Cowboys on Fox. You better watch now, this

1015
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: is the big game on Fox. Joe Buck and Troy

1016
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: a in the Fox box that Rocks calling this game.

1017
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: The Cowboys opened up a seven and a half point favorite.

1018
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: They were favored by seven. Now I am gonna go

1019
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: against one of my gambling beliefs here. I have often

1020
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: signed the pledge. I've told you about this earlier in

1021
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: the podcast. I love teams that are home dogs. And

1022
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: in addition, I don't like putting, uh, you know, a

1023
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: touchdown up for anybody in a divisional game. Normally the

1024
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: rule is divisional game touchdown or more. You take the

1025
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: team getting the touchdown because divisional games are closed. This

1026
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: is the exception of the rule. I'm gonna take the

1027
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys here and Zeke Elliott I don't know if he's

1028
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna play. We don't know yet. As we're doing the podcast,

1029
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: we don't know how much he's gonna play. Even if

1030
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: he does play, the guy could go out there first

1031
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: play pop as Achilles and be out for the year.

1032
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: That's possible. We've seen that kind of stuff before because

1033
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 1: who God knows what he was doing in Cabo. But

1034
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: this the reason to pick the Cowboys to cover a

1035
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: seven point number. The Giants are like the ugly redheaded

1036
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: step children of the NFL. Dallas can win this game

1037
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: with their defense alone. The Giants won't even break twenty points.

1038
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: They will be everyone's homecoming opponent until proven otherwise, and

1039
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: really until they changed quarterbacks. And meanwhile, Dak Prescott game manager.

1040
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: But that's all you have to be against the team

1041
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: Like the Giants. Big Blue was a middling past defense

1042
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: team statistically last season. I don't think they're gonna be

1043
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: much better. I know Pat Shermer who's still hanging around

1044
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: on the sidelines there. Uh, he doesn't have enough body

1045
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: spray to get the stench away from Eli Manning and

1046
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: and On the radio show this week, we had a story.

1047
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: I did a monologue which was critically lampooned by some

1048
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: of the militia because they didn't like what I was

1049
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: talking about. But they said that of all the quarterbacks,

1050
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: the one that hurts their team the most via the

1051
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: point spread is Eli Manning, and I I would agree

1052
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: with that. He is a net negative for the Giants.

1053
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: So you're gonna struggle to run the ball, you fall behind.

1054
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys jump ahead like fourteen, the nothing you're

1055
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the ball with Sequon Barkley

1056
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: fifty times in the game. I mean, good luck. That

1057
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a winning formula to me. You're gonna

1058
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,720
Speaker 1: have to throw, which means Eli is gonna get intercepted

1059
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: and turnovers stacked the score. Uh. You know, if the

1060
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: Giants played Daniel Jones in this game, Not that I

1061
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 1: don't think Daniel, you know, I'm not. I'm not completely

1062
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: sold on Daniel Jones, but I'd rather see what he

1063
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: can do than Eli Manning. I would certainly take the

1064
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: Giants plus seven, but they're by all accounts they're not

1065
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: doing that. Man Manning's gonna play the entire game unless

1066
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: he gets hurt. Uh. Final score Cowboys twenty seven, Giants sixteen,

1067
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 1: and the Penny picks. Finally, some dissension. The penny is

1068
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: going with the road team, the New York Giants. Alright,

1069
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: I enjoy that dumpster diving the Giants in the deep water.

1070
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: If you are deep, all right? Next up, Sunday Night Football.

1071
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: That's right, Sunday Night Football. You got the Patriots a

1072
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: six point favorite. They opened as a six and a

1073
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: half point favorite. I'm gonna take New England here. It's

1074
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: another one of those games. Usually you tried. It's not

1075
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: a divisional game, but usually you try to anytime you

1076
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: get close to a touchdown you take the points. But

1077
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: early in the year, in this spot, I'm gonna take

1078
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots. First of all, the Steelers are lacking the

1079
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: wild factor on office. They're lacking the dynamic, electric playmakers

1080
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: that they have typically had over the years. Like this

1081
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: trap door opened up and uh, it's problems that old

1082
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: Elvis song. Right, we were caught in a trap. Uh.

1083
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: And the Steelers have lost their big guys offensively, with

1084
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown going out of Levan Bell was their last year,

1085
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: but they thought he might come back. So they are

1086
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: dependent on Juju Smith, Schuster being the man and some

1087
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: other guys who we have no idea. They're anonymous becoming good.

1088
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: If I'm Mike Tomlin, I am paranoid going into this

1089
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: season because because of the unknown and and plus Tomlin

1090
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: teams and any anyway have have regularly failed to cover

1091
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: against Belichick coach teams. The Steelers under Tomlin against Belichick.

1092
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: I think the numbers two and five the last seven

1093
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: times they've played in Foxboro, so they verily rarely win

1094
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: the money in Foxborough the Steelers do. Secondly, this will

1095
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: be the ground and pound run right, run, left, run

1096
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: up the gut version of the Patriots. I in mixed

1097
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: with a short, short passing game, but I think more running. Uh.

1098
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: And they have to they have to hide Tom Brady

1099
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: at this point in his career and limit the amount

1100
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: of throws put him on a pitch count if you will,

1101
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: or the longevity of the entire season. And I love

1102
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. I really think this is gonna be

1103
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: a top defensive squad. Patriots have gotten off to some

1104
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: slow starts, even in this twenty year run of Dynasty.

1105
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: This had been a week link defensively for the Steelers,

1106
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: and you know, or for the Patriots. Rather last year

1107
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: I thought they weren't very good. They got better as

1108
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: the year went on, But the odds indicate that the

1109
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: value is with Tom Brady. Even as a six point

1110
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: favorite Sunday Night football, tom Brady has a six thirty

1111
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: three winning percentage in Sunday night games. It's a nighttime

1112
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: Foxborough Al Michael's barking Away Patriots thirty six and the

1113
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: Steelers twenty four penny Going the opposite way, going Pittsburgh Steelers,

1114
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburg Steelers. Have you ever been to Pittsburgh? I've been

1115
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: there once. Yes, Have you been to Primani Brothers? What

1116
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: the hell is that? Oh? It's guesscan you we're losing listeners.

1117
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: And this one of the great local dives in Pittsburgh,

1118
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Permanti Brothers. And there's there's a bunch of it. It's

1119
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: a rest where you don't need. It's not healthy, but

1120
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: they they're the sandwich. They make these chicken sandwiches and

1121
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 1: stuff used to put that. They put all the ingredients

1122
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: on the sandwich. They put French fries on there. It's

1123
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: it's really good. And I went to the one I

1124
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: met Pete in Pittsburgh. Uh, we should do another podcast

1125
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: about meeting listeners. But I met Pete and Pete and Pittsburgh,

1126
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: and uh, it was like one in the morning. I

1127
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: was driving from Philadelphia to Buffalo and I went through.

1128
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: I wastrive from New York. Yeah, I was in Philly.

1129
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: I drove all over the East Coast, but anyway, I

1130
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,959
Speaker 1: drove through Pittsburgh. I was only there for like two days.

1131
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: And I met Pete in Pittsburgh and a couple other listeners,

1132
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: the bread Man, the dough Boy, like one in the

1133
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: morning in the Steel District, that Permanti Brothers. We had

1134
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: sandwiches and old stories. It was a lot of fun.

1135
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm a man of the people, man, I'm a man

1136
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: of the people. I forget the names, but give me

1137
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: some good spots in Boston when I'm out there with

1138
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Blind Scott. Oh yeah, man, I love I've been in

1139
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Boston a lot over the years, like for radio stuff.

1140
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: But there's some really good, really good restaurants there in

1141
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: in Boston as well. Alright, so what are we doing here?

1142
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: The next game? Alright, Monday night football, Monday Night. Well, yeah,

1143
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: this is the showcase game of the weekend. This is

1144
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: the sexy game. This is the the game that has

1145
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: the sex appeal, the charisma, the alert, the drawing power,

1146
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: it's on Monday night, Houston at New Orleans. Is this

1147
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: the game Bookers doing? And this is per for you

1148
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: because obviously you being a a anti Deshaun Watson uh

1149
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: sportscaster radio hack. Well again, I am a truth teller

1150
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: and I believe that Deshan Watson is overady. We'll find out.

1151
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: You know what It's defining moment as a professional quarterback

1152
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: is in a playoff game, down twenty one points against

1153
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: the Colts when they got a first down signalings like

1154
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: he was the referee. What a dope. That's the equivalent

1155
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: of doing a sack dance when you're down in the

1156
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. It was just just great, just completely tone deaf,

1157
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: completely clueless. So what a dumb dumb Anyway, listen, Houston,

1158
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: New Orleans. The Saints open and nine point favorite in

1159
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: this game. The Saints are a seven point favorite right now,

1160
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: and much like I picked the Cardinals even though I

1161
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: despised Kyler Murray, the pick here is the Houston Texas.

1162
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Houston. I'll tell you my logic behind this.

1163
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: This game projects to be a track meet. It is

1164
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: the highest I believe over under the numbers. I'm looking

1165
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: at here, the highest over under on the weekend, and

1166
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: they are expecting Drew Brees and Deshaun Watson to have

1167
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: the old back and forth pinball gallery type of game. Touchdowns,

1168
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: they're touchdowns over there, touchdowns in the air everywhere, and

1169
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: field goals super Dome. Now, the main reason I like

1170
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: the Texans and I'm lean to them is you're getting

1171
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: seven points, which I love. I love getting a decent team,

1172
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: not a great team, Houston, but a decent team with

1173
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And I don't know what you got with

1174
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. He's forty years old. He had a free

1175
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: fall which many people seem to have swept under the rug.

1176
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: Four games he played in the regular season for the

1177
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Saints last year, Drew Brees had three touchdowns, three interceptions.

1178
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: He had a passer rating under eighty five. And the

1179
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: most damning stat, right as I tried to to pile

1180
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: on here, Drew Brees the most damning stat. The last

1181
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: four games he played last season, he averaged six point

1182
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: four yards per attempt. That is anemic, is what it is.

1183
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: And so you're going against a decent defense. Texans have

1184
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: a pretty good pass rush, or at least they're supposed

1185
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: to have a pretty good pass fresh even with the

1186
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Clowney being gone. So there's the unknown. And you also

1187
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: have Laramie Tunzl who's making his debut, supposedly gonna protect

1188
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson was I believe Deshaun Watson his bad

1189
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: internal clock is the reason that he led the NFL

1190
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: in sacks last year. He suffers from the pandemic that

1191
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: is pocket panic. Now that's set the Saints again. They

1192
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: have issues in their secondary as well here, namely defensive

1193
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: back the other side of Marshawn Lattimore. That is a

1194
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: weak spot for the Saints, and New Orleans traditionally has

1195
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: been a team to bet against earlier in the year. Now,

1196
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: what's my evidence? Al Right? New Orleans has started under

1197
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Sean Payton since the last five years up until this year. Obviously,

1198
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: don't played last twelve games first, first or second week

1199
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: of the year. The Saints are one and eleven against

1200
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,959
Speaker 1: the spread. They have started slow. Last year they lost

1201
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,919
Speaker 1: to the Amish Rifle and the Buccaneers. So the pick

1202
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: here now again, this is the case where the Saints

1203
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: are gonna win this game. They're gonna lose out right,

1204
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna win but there it's gonna be a back

1205
01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: and forth close game. New Orleans thirty eight, Houston already

1206
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: four penny picks. Penny going at the Houston Texans. Alright,

1207
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: so the Penny not trying to upstage me, not trying

1208
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: to outshine me, agreeing with me, which is a very

1209
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: nice Ben not looking at the board. Off the top

1210
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: of your head, what do you think the second highest

1211
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: point total is for this weekend? You just mentioned Houston

1212
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: and New Orleans with think, yeah, that's that's good here, um,

1213
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: let me think you we'll have Rams Carolina. No, no,

1214
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: believe it or not, it's Kansas City in Jacksonville. They're well, yeah,

1215
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: because Kansas City scores are a ton of points, so

1216
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:39,919
Speaker 1: they're going forty. They might have to. Yeah, alright, last game.

1217
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: We have reached the finish line. We have reached the

1218
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: finish line. And this the maiden Voyage of Benny Versus

1219
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: the Penny is a podcast only Hey, let us know

1220
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: by the well, we'll give you the email and all

1221
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: that stuff at the end when you know no one

1222
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: actually listens to the end of a podcast. But well,

1223
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: we'll give you the ways you can contact us. But

1224
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: the Monday Night Football game of the late game here

1225
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Denver at Oakland alright, opened up a three point favorite.

1226
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: They are currently a one and a half point favorite.

1227
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Raiders. I'm gonna take the Silver

1228
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: and Black against Gascon's Denver Broncos here. Uh, and I

1229
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: really think there's a good spot for Oakland, Like either

1230
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: one of these teams is all that good. The Broncos

1231
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: are are on offense, They're gonna be a dog's lunch,

1232
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: messy and lean complete passes. Joe Flacco is going to

1233
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: give John Elway a lesson in the law of diminishing returns. Uh,

1234
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: what are you thinking here with this Flacco guy? I mean,

1235
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: unless you send him to the guy or clinic for

1236
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: some of those happy pills that other Bronco quarterbacks have gotten.

1237
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Wink wink, not not. I just don't see a scenario

1238
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: where he has this great career renaissance in Denver. And

1239
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: Elway clearly has amnesia with his comments about Flacco. He

1240
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: has just just slurped up and given a bubble bath

1241
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: to Joe flat Go. And Flacco was guilty of grand

1242
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: larceny for impersonating a good quarterback after he won the

1243
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Baltimore, and he got replaced by a

1244
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: guy that can't even throw the ball at a running quarterback.

1245
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: The Broncos should go on Amazon. Here's what they should

1246
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: do and buy some buy some deodorant themselves there, because

1247
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: they got to cover up that stank from their office,

1248
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: and their defense is gonna be pretty good to me.

1249
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: The other part of this, the one stumbling block here

1250
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: is Derek Carr, right, second tier quarterback, but better than

1251
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: the third tier quarterback like Joe Flaccos. He got a

1252
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: little bit better quarterback here. They the Raiders. They made

1253
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: some change against some young guys playing this game, and

1254
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: last year with a different roster, the Raiders were in

1255
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: most of the games. They faded in the second half.

1256
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: If they're in the game, I believe they will win

1257
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: the game. They expect this to be a close game.

1258
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: Neither team all that good. I will take and the

1259
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos twenty three and the Penny picks for the

1260
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: final game. Last, but not least, Penn ain't going with

1261
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. All right, the Denver Broncos. There it is.

1262
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: And thus that concludes the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller

1263
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: on Yes, Yes, the Benny versus the Penny because four

1264
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: hours are not enough and this actually was over an

1265
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: hour by the way, that was should we do the

1266
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: fifth and sixth hour? I, you know, for for me,

1267
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: as I donate my time to not only you, but

1268
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: to this this multimedia company. I don't think so I'm

1269
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 1: doing this pro bono, so you don't do anything pro bono. Yeah,

1270
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're talking about. Hey, if you

1275
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 1: like to do that I've not done on the radio show.

Speaker 1: We have no budget. We I've always been a big

1289
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: believer in word of mouth advertising. It's worked out pretty

1290
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 1: well for me. It's the most effective advertising. When you

1291
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: know somebody recommends something to you, that means a lot.

1292

1296
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: start to a it's like you and William chatting it right,
