Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka Laca. It's our number three, our number three,
ready to go on this seventeenth day of September, Happy
hump day to you. And we start out in Pittsburgh
where there's a lot of drama O rama the Steelers
one in one. But do the Pittsburgh Steelers have regrets
about the TJ. Watt extension? Not off to the quality?
(00:23):
Start in Pittsburgh. Also in college football, how do you
interpret the meaning of Dabo Sweeney's saying if Clemson is
tired of winning, they can send him packing. We'll talk
about that. And are you buying or selling the attempted
clarification from Adam Silver on the sport of pro basketball
being a highlight league that you don't need to pay
(00:45):
to watch NBA games, just watch the highlights if you're poor.
We'll talk about that and more right now here. It
is our number three. Wat's wrong, that's the question. Welcome
in the bigin of another hour of the Ben Malar Show.
We are in the air everywhere, traveling at the speed
(01:07):
of light. As we are floating and gloating while promoting
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and absurdly powerful microphones of fs are amminating live
from the box, the Penalty Box in the world famous
(01:28):
Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by the Late Night
trug Tester and Donkey Sausage. They all approve that message.
And this portion of the Ben Malar Show on Fox
made possible in part by our friends at That's right,

from Pittsburgh, PA, the land of the Gintzers here and
so no, this is not another malle monologue about Aaron Rogers.
(02:14):
There's another story that caught my attention from the black
and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow.
Then I'm sure upsets our old friend Eddie Garcia. I
know Spaccoli's upset, and Sean the hood Guy's annoyed by this,
like all the Pittsburgh Steeler Apologies, Pete and Pittsburgh the
bread Man, They're all upset. So you might know where
I'm going with this, but maybe not so these Steelers.
(02:37):
You might remember they made TJ. Watt at the time,
they made TJ. Watt the highest paid non quarterback in
the history of the NFL. Is kind of a big deal.
Kind of a big deal. Now he's been passed since
then a couple of times. It came with an expectation.
The plan was rather simple that at least for the
next couple of years, you were going to dominate. That
(02:57):
was the agreement. We're going to pay you the big
pile of pesos and you're gonna go out there and dominate.
That Watt would continue to be an elite level game wrecker.
And how's that going, don't ask. So far that has
not been the case, and that is being as an understatement.
In fact, Watt so quiet TJ. Watt the first couple
(03:19):
of games of the year that you really have to
go deep into the box score to even find his
name there. He has had as many sacks as you
have had and I have had for Pittsburgh, and so
it all gets lost in the sauce. Let us discuss
the question do the Petsburg Steelers have regrets about TJ.
(03:39):
Watt's massive contract extension. So I've got skyscraper, toaster oven,
and Doctor Seuss and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a random
T shirt. My friend Jay, the Whiz of Odds, he's
stopped by. He lives in the air here. He stopped
(04:00):
by and he handed me a random T shirt and
it was very nice of him to do that, and
I appreciate very much. And then I told him, you
had to leave right away because otherwise they'll charge you
seven hundred dollars for parking. And so he left right away.
My first thought on this to answer the question, do
the Pittsburgh Steelers have regrets about the TJ. Watt extension?
(04:21):
I'm not in my head yet. How could they not?
At this point, they have to be concerned. And if
you're not concerned, you're a fanboy and you're delusional. Now,
I have no skin in the game, but TJ. Watt
has tossed up more zeros than the Mega millions at
this particular point. When you look at the ven diagram
of the performance, the recent performance of TJ. Watt, he's
(04:42):
trying to square the circle. It's not working very well.
It's not working. So the Pittsburgh brass are realizing that
they paid full price. They thought they were getting the Picasso,
and instead they got the Picasso Paint by Numbers kit
is what they got. Quite the authentic Picasso. Six straight
(05:02):
games going back to the playoffs and last regular season,
six straight games without a sack. Six straight games. That
is not a cold streak, mind you. That is a
polar vortex, is what that is. And it's worse when
you zoom out. It's bad enough six games. When you
zoom out, he's had the last seventeen games, he's had
(05:22):
five games with a sack and twelve games without a sack.
You're paying the guy forty one million, forty one million
dollars a year, one hundred and eight million dollars gaaronteed.
And what are the Seelers getting for their investment? Terrible?
ROI return on investment not good there. It's like kind
(05:46):
of buying If I'll use a music analogy, it's kind
of like buying tickets. You see the Rolling Stones and
then Nick Jaggers also messed up. He comes out there
he can't even finish satisfaction. And that's not what you're
hoping for when you buy the tickets. And here's the
mother of all stats on this. According to the nerds
at Pro Football Focus, TJ. Watt in forty seven pass
rushing snaps this season has gotten pressure three times out
(06:11):
of forty seven. That is a win rate, a pressure
win rate of six point three percent. So my math
tells me that ninety three plus percent of the time TJ.
Watt has failed. So that's not elite. Not elite, whether
you're playing Pop Warner, whether you're playing in the NFL.
(06:32):
And he's not even around the quarterbacks. If you watch
these games, I may or may not have had some
money on that Jet Steels game and I was watching
that intently and TJ. Watt really didn't do much anything.
And against Seattle last week, he's like, what's going on here?
So it's like, you forget the sacks. He's not even
(06:52):
he's not even getting on camera other than when they
do the fluff and they try to say how great
he is. But other than that I actually making plays.
It doesn't happen. And the jock sniffers, they said, wow,
he's getting double team, Come on, give him a break.
He's getting double team. And of course that doesn't work.
It shouldn't work. It doesn't work for us because TJ.
(07:13):
Watt has always been double team. The moment he established
himself as the top line NFL player, that is the
dle Oh, that is the d Leoh. You know it,
I know it. If you're the guy and you're supposed
to be the guy, and you're paid like the guy,
you're through NFL history, all of the all time greats,
Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, ray Lewis wears the white suit,
they all got double team. If you're truly generational and
(07:36):
you're not a fraud, you don't worry about the double team.
It doesn't matter. You still eat, you still have food
to eat. You're not worried about that. However, the doubles
do appear to be working. The double doubles do appear
to be working at this particular point. And you don't
pay a pass rusher forty one million dollars a year
to show up every third or fourth game. That's genuinely
(07:57):
know what you're looking for. So this does have all
the ingredients of a fall star. Now we're not all
the way in on this, but we're heading that direction right.
Things are leaning, The scales are leaning. Towards that way
that it's got all the ingredients that Watt had been
a super nova, an absolute supernova, lighting up stadium scoreboards
with great plays and all that, but not now right,
(08:18):
not now. And the problem is the Steelers defense, which sucks.
Right now. The Steelers defense has been built around TJ. Watt.
He's not producing, he's he's not even a good decoy
out there at this particular point. It's kind of like
the Steelers of this side. You know, we're gonna build
a skyscraper, one hundred story skyscraper, and we're gonna do
(08:40):
it out of Sioux Fla. No, you shouldn't know, you can't.
That's not worse. So do the Steelers regret the extension?
Do they have regret? Of course? How could you again,
how could you not have regrets? At this particular point,
they backed up the money train. True, true, they went
to reverse and t J. Watt he got paid right,
just all the act and he'd earned it right, he'd
(09:01):
earned the money. But the Steelers were a little skinnish
because they looked at the comps and they looked at
his age, and they're like, well, you're not that old.
But this is about the time guys start producing lesson,
we don't want to pay the big money you're not
going to produce well, but we'll pay anyway because we're
getting pressured online. We got to pay him. And so
it's like they're getting this diamond studded umbrella and all that,
(09:22):
but it's got holes in it. So all right. Now, Second,
we go to college football. Now, we don't talk too
much college football unless there's a good story, and this
is a good story. We go to South Carolina where Clemson,
who had been a national power, they were actually tackling
in the College Football Playoff last year, though not much
of a game. So Clemson off to the one and
two start. So how do you interpret the meaning of
(09:45):
dabbos Sweeney's comments this week saying that if Clemson is
tired of winning, that they can send him packing. That's
what he said, a version of that. So this is
classic coaching delusion. Now, Sparler alert, Sparler alert. Trevor Lawrence,
who's terrible, absolutely terrible as an NFL quarterback, He's horrific, right,
(10:11):
But Trevor Lawrence is not walking through that door. He's
not and Dabbo is having problems. He's having problems with
the term is actually Darwinism, right. You have to adapt
or you die. In any line of work, in anything
in life, you have to adapt to the changing times.
And if you don't, it's bad news. Everyone else in
(10:32):
college football is obsessed with the transfer portal. Gotta do
it right. They treat it like door dash. They treated
like uber eats with Femi in Minnesota, We're like, call
him up, fem, you want some food. Okay, what do
you want? You want to You don't want food, You
want a five star linebacker. Okay, well okay, yeah, we
be there in thirty minutes or less. No problem, right there,
(10:55):
right to your doorstep. Meanwhile, Dabbo Sweeney, he's trying to
stream Netflix on his toaster. He doesn't understand why. He
doesn't worry, that's my toaster, of m Why am I
getting Netflix? Well, it's not a TV. You don't have Internet,
Well don't Why don't I get Netflix? I want Netflix?
Well you don't have that. You have a toaster oven,
that's what you have. And so that's the issue at
(11:15):
this particular point. And so Dabosweeny's very proud. He loves
what he's doing. It the old fashioned way. And he's
the guy when people started riding around in cars. He's like,
I don't need a car. I have on my horse.
I have my horse and buggy. I do not need
a car. And it's to say it's antiquated, it's pig headed.
It's all that he's basically coaching Clemson from a chalkboard
(11:37):
while Ryan Day at the Ohio State and Kirby's Smart
over there at Georgia are teaching in holograms. Is I
don't need a hologram. I've got chalk, Chalky, mick chalk.
I've got it. And so it's like trying to win
an F one race when you're on top of a cow.
It's not going to go very well. So Clemson football,
(11:58):
they're not dead, but they're going the wrong direction at
this particular point, and there are people up in armsend.
We got to get rid of Dabbo. We gotta get
rid of Dabbo. And I know, for about thirty years,
from the early eighties until the twenty tens, Clemson football
was pretty much irrelevant. And they're heading that direction now
and then they're concerned about Fomo. They're worried about well,
(12:20):
the fear of missing out if we get rid of
Dabbo and he goes somewhere else and has success, that's
not good. All right, final thought, we quickly go to
pro bouncy ball. Why because we have the almost guaranteed
almost you knew this was going to happen, almost guaranteed statement.
About the statement, say what so you might remember we
(12:41):
did a monologue about it. Commissioner Adam Silver had said,
if you're too poor to afford the NBA product, if
you're part of the great unwashed. He essentially said, don't
worry about it, you losers. Just watch the clips online,
just watch the highlights. The NBA is a highlight league,
so quote from Adam Silver. So Adam Silver, now what
do you think he did? That's right? He attempted to
(13:04):
clarify his comment his recent comment about the NBA being
a highlight based sport for those who can't afford to
pay for NBA games. So question, are you buying or selling?
The clarification from Adam Silver when he talked about the
sport of basketball being a highlight based sport. So I'm
(13:27):
no purchase. I'm not buying this. I'm not gonna buy this.
You're gonna have to sell this to someone else. I'm
not gonna buy it. Adam Silver put foot directly in
mouth and I loved it. This is right up. Did
you understand Rob Manford is the gold standard for this,
but Adam Silver is not far behind. Like he's not
far behind this. Rob Manford called the World Series Trophy
(13:48):
a piece of metal, like a hunk of metal and
all that. Adam Silver, admitting that the NBA is a
highlight based sport, is right on that level. Now he
did try to backpedal. Sorry, not sorry, it doesn't work.
You can't uncook the crab. Cannot do it once it's
in the pot and the water's boiling and all that.
(14:10):
You can't. That's it. It's over. And so this is
full blown foot in mouth disease is what it is.
And Adam Silver has been hornswaggle like so many of
these people, hornswoggled by the Instagram reels and by the
TikTok clips. And they think that everything is legit, that
(14:30):
there's no doctoring of the numbers on that that the
engagement numbers aren't inflated. They believe that those things are
not puffed up. Now, I, on the other hand, am
a skeptic I think a lot of those numbers are doctored.
Obviously a lot of people are on social media. However,
there are more fake people on social media than real people.
That's the problem. But it's kind of like trusting trusting
(14:51):
the views count on social media. It's akin to back
in the old days, the cliche of the mob mechanic,
you know, like they'd steal a car and they'd roll
back the odometer on the car and it's like, oh, look,
I got this car. It's only got twenty thousand miles
on it and it's a ten year old car. I
can't believe it. Yeah, that's amazing. Then as soon as
(15:12):
you drive out of the garage, the engine falls out,
but it's it's a good deal. Yeah. When I was
a kid, there was a there used to be show.
It's called sixty Minutes. It's I guess it's still on it,
and I think they woke over there whatever, but they did.
I remember how my parents used to watch it every
Sunday and they did an episode there's a guy in
Houston who was a car dealer, used car dealer, and
(15:33):
he was rolling back odometers and was I still remember
that segment all these years later. It's probably I mean,
it's been many, many years, but how they did it,
and he was selling these cars for top dollar and
they were all like doctored cars and all that it was.
I still recall that. But I look at that like
social media, like a lot of this is just bull crap,
and people are buying it and they're dumb people. They're
smart people who are dumb people, and that's what happens,
(15:56):
right and so. And also there's an admission here for
Adam Silver that theigular season product is terrible, that the
players and the way teams are designed because of the
analytics they are designed. It's like going to a Dave
and Busters on a Friday and playing poper shot. That's
what it is. There's no defense, there's no sense of urgency,
there's no sense of importance in the regular season. It's
(16:17):
just chuck it up and jog back on defense and
do it again. And Adam Silver knows it. He's tried
to change it, even though he allowed it and coddled
it for years. And that's why he blurted this all
out in the first place. That's part of the reason
he blurted all this out. Listen, we convinced these morons
to pay us all this money to put their stupid
games or our stupid games on streaming. You think we're
(16:39):
going to turn down that money. Of course not. And
so now after I'm surprised he waited this long. But
Adam Silver, rather than run somewhere and do a cover
up interview, Adam Silver was scrambling to a pr cleanup
at this event for a sports business blog he was
speaking at in New York. And so now he's trying
(16:59):
to sage what he said. It is like he's taken
out of context and all these guys it's the same playbook.
Too late. The damage is done. And I would like
to quote one of the great philosophers of my youth,
the great Doctor Seuss. To me, this is a Doctor
SEUs situation. It's not green eggs and ham sam I am.
Adam Silver said what he said, and he meant what
(17:22):
he said, period. Stop. Can't reel it back in, cannot
do it. And that's the sad truth. He's not even
wrong by it. Like he's not even wrong. Listen, the
games that are during the regular season are not that good.
Just watch the highlights and then maybe you'll watch the
playoffs and it won't cost as much. And that's fine.
And he just wasn't supposed to say that. Now, in
that business, it's high crimes and misdemeanors. It is all right.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
We're talking international foods?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Really fanic West African Digital American exotic. Yes, very cool.
All right, if people need their food and you're the
one that makes that happen, so very good. Here we go, Justin.
I will ask you a series of questions. All the
answers are either too much or not enough, and you
gotta get three right to win, and get all five right.
(28:35):
We'll name the game after you next week. Are you ready, Justin?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
All right?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
What part of Virginia are in?
Speaker 5 (28:43):
By the way, it's curious northern Virginia.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Okay, very cool, all right, here we go. Question number one,
So Cal Raleigh has had multi homer has had a
multi homer game against seven different teams this season for
the Seattle Mariners. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
All right? He says too much. Let's find out no,
believe it or not? Justin Cal Rawley, He's got fifty
five home runs I believe now, so he's done it.
Not enough, He's had multi home run games against ten
different teams, the only player ever to do that in
the history of baseball in the same season. I Question
number two, the Ravens. I know you're in DC, but
(29:25):
the Ravens aren't that far away. The Ravens are the
tenth team in NFL history to score at least forty
points in each of their first two games of a season.
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
See if Justin's on the board, that's correct. Not enough.
They are the thirteenth team to score forty in each
of their first two games, but the first to not
be two to zero thanks to the Buffalo Bills that
crazy comeback on that Sunday night game, Question number three.
You're doing good, You're one in one, got Justin ready
to go? Question three?
Speaker 5 (30:00):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Sunday marked only the fourth time in NFL history that
a punt return touchdown was immediately followed by a kick
return touchdown? Is that too much? Or not enough?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Okay? He says not enough? Let's find out. No, but
believe or not too much? He was only the second
time in NFL history. The last time was way back
in nineteen ninety two. A player named Desmond Howard and
a guy named Dion Sanders. I wonder whatever happened to
those guys. But there you go one and two, and
so you're still alive. But you have no margin? Fair?
Do you understand, Justin? You have to get the last
two right? Do you understand that. Oh yep, okay, got it. Well,
(30:38):
you knew it. It's been done here we go, not often,
but it has been done. Question number four. If the
Chiefs lose this week, they will be only the third
Super Bowl team ever to open the following season zero
to three? Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Sure about that? Not one hundred percent? All right, he's on,
he said, not one hundred percent. Oh, I thought you
said one hundred I thought I got excited there. What
would it take for you to change your answer?
Speaker 5 (31:14):
I don't know. Okay, I think I'm going to stick
with it.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Okay, So you're and what is your answer again?
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Okay? And the man wants to say, this is something
that human beings do. I've noticed this doing this show. Okay,
let's find out. No, you're right, You're right. The answer
is not enough. They would be the fifth team, joining
the eighty seven Giants, the Chiefs of the ninety nine Broncos,
the Falcons, and the O two. But listen, you're a
man of conviction. Justin I respect that.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
What would you have given me to change my answer?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Well, I was hoping you would change it, So you
get it, right, till we get to the last question.
But Lorain is happy because you'll have more time to
talk now, so she's very happy.

seven seven ninety nine on Fox. You want to try
to sneak in here eight seven seven nine nine six
six three sixty nine, Doug wrote in now he did
not use the hashtag. I just happened to see this message.
Normally I would ignore this message, but I just happened
to see this message. You bad job by you, Doug.
(35:27):
He says, question for the queen, why can't the wife
and I ever agree on what's for dinner? Always? What
do you want? And after I rattle off several options,
she's like, Nope, none of those sound good. So why
ask Well, you know, justin Kee's great, that's a great question.
That's a great question, Doug.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
And actually, I know a lot of couples, and I
know this seems like a lot, but they'll cook two
separate meals. So I know people who have vegetarian wives
or husbands, and so they actually have to cook two
different things.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
But how about set menu? How about you sit down
at the beginning of the week or the end of
the week, and so here's we're gonna eat next week
for dinner? Boom, done, argue about it, fight about it,
debate it, and that's the schedule. Yeah, and whatever. And
he would be like Dave Roberts, the Dodger, manage whatever
on the schedule. You just go with the schedule.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
And we talked about communication. That sounds a great like
a great way to communicate. Honey, what are we having
this week?

That's great? I love that. Okay, there you go, we've
solved a problem. We've solved the problem. All right, let's
see Ferg dog rights and says Lorena. Would you would
you dump a guy if he got scared on the
Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland? My ex girlfriend did with me.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I mean, if he was actually scared, maybe it was cute, like,
oh my gosh, I need to hide in my face,
in your bosom because I'm so scared.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Well, I think a lot of guys need to do that.
But be romantic. Well, yeah, you know who knows well
first got stuff going on, you know, Ferg's got that's
the beauty of it.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Be careful on the Haunted Mansion, though, because they have
cameras that look directly at you, so everything that you
do they are seeing.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
That's true. That is true because people have been making
whoopye on there.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
And they'll make whoopee, they'll smoke, they'll do all sorts
of things on that right.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
They stop it immediately. Yeah, yeah, I've gone. Please please
keep your hands to yourself. Oh man, imagine having that
job additionally, and your job is to sit there and
stare at people riding the haunted mansion. That's your gig there, man,
so weird. Mike the leprechat right, since says, would you
be impressed by a man who offered to share a
(37:29):
single burger and an ice cream sunscreen flavored with you
on their first date?
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Definitely not sunscreen flavor.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
I mean saw that.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I thought that would be fun, like, oh, pineapple, I
like pineapple stuff. But honestly, I love that you bring
this up because I love a man who knows he
needs to finish my food. Okay, so splitting a burger
sounds great. I take like a quarter, you take three quarters.
But I'm never sharing anything with you.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
I was raised to finish my food. I was raised there.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Even if I wanted to ben I get sick my mom.
