Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here We're go. It's our number four and no night
of the Ben Malers Show as complete without a mention
the not rare but always appropriate mention of Jerry Jones.
So Jerry Jones says the Cowboys will not be tanking
for a better NFL draft pick. Are you okay with this?
(00:20):
We'll discuss that. Also, do Steeler fans?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Mike Tomlin an apology? One of the Steelers players said
that the fans do. And Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes injury
has shifted the Chiefs Titans point spread by eight points
over a touchdown because one guy's not playing. Is this
an overreaction by the wise guys in Vegas. We'll take
(00:46):
a look at that and more. Right now here it is.
Have a wonderful Wednesday. We thank you, We thank you

In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.

code Mallard m A l l e R at DraftKings
dot Crown is yours now our lead this hour from
deep in the heart of Texas. If you thought we
(03:19):
were gonna stop talking about the Cowboys because they suck,
you are a loser, all right now. The Cowboys turns
out that if you go to Jerry's world, you are
not going to see any tanks. What do I mean
by that? Well, if you have not heard, maybe not
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. He announced that, hey, we're not tanking.
(03:39):
We're not We're not going to try to suck these
last three games. We're not going to try to get
a draft pick, a higher draft pick.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, here's what Jerry had to say about the possibility
of getting a higher draft pick by losing. They all listen,
win is.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Very very important in the NFL, and a win is
important to me, and a win does a lot of
positive things. I don't care when it happens, and we've
got We owe it to that mirror, and we owe
it certainly to our fans that we want to walk
out there and be competitive. We will not try for
(04:16):
a draft position, we won't be looking at anything like that.
We'll be out there playing football and we'll bring them
to play. So that's a long winded way of saying,
we'll play football under whatever the circumstances are.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Okay, of course, at six seven and one, even when
the Cowboys are trying to win, they often lose. Cowboys
are currently the tenth seed in the NFC. The top
seven teams get in. According to the prop the news
service the NFL Media, the postseason chances for the Cowboys
are less than one percent, a less than one percent
chance to get to the PLAYFFS. That is a good
(04:53):
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question Jerry Jones
saying that the Cowboys will not tank. They're not gonna
intentionally lose here to get a better draft pick. Are
you okay with this? Because a bunch of Cowboy fans
are not happy about this. So I've got Devil's Playground,
summer camp and Wi Fi password, and we will combine
(05:13):
all of these things together and we're gonna have a
breakfast of Champions, Captain Crunch and fruit loops, and then
we'll have later on for lunch, we'll have the Gabba
Ghoul and the Baba Ganoosh is what we'll have for lunch.
All right. To lead off here, though, we're to kick
off because this is football. I'm good with it one
hundred per I like this. The Cowboys have ninety nine problems.
(05:36):
Tanking ain't one of them. And great tanking is the
fentanyl lean of the sports world.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It is.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It looks tempting for some and ultimately you end up
in your face and the gutter. Don't do it, and
the whole suck and draft suck now, draft later, that mindset,
that ogma, it's like a religion for some people that
love the draft and all that Devil's playground. It's the
(06:07):
devil's playground. It's fool's gold. The Cowboy fans and some
of these peoplere a crowd I can't believe Joey would
say that, why me weep? Come on about draft position?
The game's are meetingless. Just lose the game. You sound
like a bunch of Mama Lukes. You do whining and
having a temperate tangament, a hissy fit and all that.
(06:30):
It accomplishes nothing. The sucking draft model. If you look
at my ven diagram on the radio strader, not the
telestrader because that's TV, the radio strader. If you look
at the radio strader, it fails ninety nine point nine
percent of the time. Exhibit A. The New York Jets,
who have sucked for a generation. They have the longest
(06:51):
playoff drought in the NFL. They have had how many
top ten picks is it ten or eleven top ten
picks in this stretch and some of them been good.
It doesn't matter. They don't win because it's a loser franchise.
How about the Cleveland Rounds, the factory of sadness, the
Cleveland brown Trust, the process and it's such a suckers
game trading for draftings, like the Jets made a trade
(07:14):
with the Colts. They traded Sauce Gardener for a couple
of first round picks, and so the people that are
deep into it, the sucking draft mindset, Oh we got
extra draft picks until, of course the Jets draft a
turd and and a total stiff, and then you're like, oh,
I don't know what happened. It was draft picks were
so good. Trust the process. The process. It needs a
(07:38):
restraining order is what it needs. How about you some commentats?
You know now, Keevian might also when we talk about
common sense, I am not naive enough to do to understand
or to not realize that Jerry Jones, even if the
Cowboys were planning on tanking, even if that was the mindset,
you and I both know you cannot say that publicly.
(08:00):
Is is tabou, it's frowned upon, it's reboting. You can't
say that publicly. So you don't announced. I read this
online years ago. You don't announce your burning down your
business for insurance money. You don't do it publicly. Right,
you might do it, you shouldn't do it, but people
do it, and you don't do it. Announce it before
(08:21):
you do it. Plus the wild, the beast, the wild,
the beast in the room. Have you looked ahead to
the twenty twenty six NFL Draft. It's saucy. It's weak.
Sauce is what it is. Right, No generational stud quarterback,
not that the Cowboys necessarily need one because they have
mister mediocre that quarterback. No, there's no one player that
(08:44):
gets you all tingling. Now came why there have been
drafts where there is that player and they don't turn
out to be all that good, Like Trevor Lawrence. But
he had a big game against the Jets. Okay, great,
Still not that good anyway. So the top player, depending
on which mock draft you look at, is either Ohio
State linebacker Rvel Reese or Heisman Trophy winning I love
my Mamu Fernando Mendoz, who doesn't look like a game
(09:09):
changing NFL talent when you watch him play for the
Indiana Hoosiers. But there you go, so and none of that.
There's a hodgepodge of defensive tackles and edge rushers and
players like that offensive lineman. It just looks like a buffet.
But it's not a great buffet. But you're hungry and
you'll go there and you'll eat at the buffet. It
doesn't matter. You play to win the game. You play
(09:29):
to win the game. Anything else football malpractice. So I
hope Jerry's telling the truth. He rarely tells the truth.
If he is telling the truth, I'm right there, I
agree with him. Now to Pittsburg, PA we go. A
few weeks ago, fans were chanting fire toarmmet, fire tarmmet,
(09:51):
I do my own chance? So why not? That was
when the team was playing like crap at home? Well
we fast forward. Now the Steelers have calmed the waters.
They beat the bad Baltimore Ravens and then beat the
bad Miami Dolphins, and all of a sudden, the Pittsburgh
Ginsers are not so upset. The Steelers in position. They're
in the driver's seat to make the playoffs. They lead
(10:13):
the AFC North at eight wins. They need just one
more win against the Ravens to wrap things up. They
can lose the next two games and still still be okay. Anyway,
So Jalen Ramsey got to the dais Jalen Ramsey got there,
and he he believes that the fans, Oh, Mike Tomlin
an apology, say what he said? Quote me personally, is
(10:36):
Jalen Ramsey washed up? Defensive back? Jalen Ramsey, He said
me personally, I thought the chants were blank. Now I'd
say this word. Unfortunately, my bosses will not allow me.
It's the kind of word Lucky Tony would say. It's
a dirty word, he said. Jalen Ramsey, it's comical. He
said that it's comical in my mind. That's all I'll
(10:56):
say on that. So he implied that the fans owed
Tomlin an apology. So the question, do the black and yellow,
black and yellow, black and yellow Steeler fans, oh, Mike
Tomlin an apology. So I will answer this by saying, no,
that's a hard No, that's capital and then capital oh
(11:17):
as in no, no, no, no, no, no, no no,
it's the no song. No no, no, no, no no no,
it's the no song. Yeah, exactly. And and by the way,
Jalen Ramsey calling the chance comical, that's rich. Okay, that
is absolutely rich. Uh here's the deal. I don't know
if you notice, fan is short for fanatic. Oh my god,
(11:42):
these people who are And I've seen I've not been
to a steel game in Pittsburg. I've been at Pitsburg.
I've been no Steeler game, but I've seen I've been
at Steeler games. We do the show from La. I've
seen Steelers games here and it's a different breed, right
the Steeler fans. These are not casual observers, most of
the Steeler fan base. They are heavily invested, blood, sweat,
(12:03):
and Sunday afternoons, occasionally Monday nights and sometimes Thursday nights.
They pay with time. They pay with time, and that
is the most valuable thing that you have. That is
the most valuable thing that I have. Time. It's one
thing you can't buy more of. You don't know how
much you have, and you can't earn extra time. When
(12:25):
it's gone, it's gone, and that's it. It's gone forever,
and that earns you in the fan code of conduct.
On the Mathers Show, they're right to boo boo boo
boo boo, boo, boo boo, just boom, knock yourself out,
boom to your heart's content. You can scream, you can
(12:45):
shout call sports radio shows and act like a lunatic,
or go online and entertain the bots and all that. Now,
as Mike Tomlin says, and I love Tomlin as a
sound bye and he's okay coach, but I love him
as a sound by Mike Tomlin says, we want them
to be fat and sassy and spoiled. It's our job,
he said of the fans, fat, sassy and spoiled. Right now,
(13:06):
the fans are just fat and sassy. They're definitely not
being spoiled. And let's be clear, only anyone with a
half a brain would tell you that Tomlin is not
out of the woods yet. He's still in the danger zone.
Another playoff vanishing act by Mike Tomlin and the chance
the rhythmic chanting will return in the blink of an eye.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
We want them to be fat and sassy and spoiled.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's right, it is our job.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Well, you're not doing it now. The Tomlin marching in
Chadas society, they'll say, well, no losing seasons. Okay, lovely,
that's true. Hang the banner, no losing season, the fact
that the Steelers haven't won a playoff game since twenty sixteen.
I didn't even know how to drive in twenty sixteen. Yeah,
(13:52):
how long ago? That was twenty sixteen. That was for
the internet. I believe that was for the internet. No, okay,
that's all eight years. That's a long time. With Super
Bowl expectations pretty much every year even when they shouldn't
have had expectations like that. They're the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's
not acceptable. Tomlin's playoff record is eight and eleven. It's
(14:13):
even worse though, when you peel back the onion since
twenty eleven, if my malor math is correct, Tomlin has
three wins since twenty eleven. That's a decade plus of
early exits on most of the time. Wild Card weekend
where the Steelers say bye bye to the Plus you've
got former players like Ben Roethlisberger, who he did backpedal
(14:34):
the other day, but prior to that said Tomlin should leave.
James Harrison questioned how good a coach Mike Tomlin is?
So these are former players of Mike Tomlin and Tomlin's teams.
They didn't look bad against the Dolphins. That was more
about the cold weather, the Dolphins or the Steelers rather
than in recent years, they often come out sloppy against
(14:55):
the bad opponents. They're unprepared against weaker teams. They played
down to the level of their competition. It's not random,
it's a trend. You learn those things if you bet
a couple of bucks on the games, you remember those
kind of things. And Tomlin has always said the standard
is the standard. It's another tomlinism. The standard is the standard.
So you no, the fans don't owe an apology. It's
(15:18):
not summer camp. You know, you're not summer. It's the NFL.
And Pittsburgh has been good but not good enough. The
standard is the standard.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Last thing, Tevva las Vegas. Am I gonna talk about
the NBA Cup and the fact that Knickerbocker's won the
championship first time since the seventies. No, you can hear
that on the other fugates. You know, the shows will
talk about that, that Fugeesi thing. Not us though, but
Karl Anthony Towns boy Minnesota traded a champion. They're gonna
hang a banner. How funny is that gonna be? God,
(15:48):
that's so embarrassing And the NBA is so obtuse they
don't even realize, like this is so stupid. What are
we doing here? Anyway? Ah, They're gonna hang a banner
for that game twenty six.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
So Patrick Mahomes, we know he's out Snapcrackle Pop season
ending ACL surgery. There was some other stuff messed up
at his knee game. Against the Chargers. He had surgery
on Monday. They said it was a success because he
didn't die in the operating room. Okay, rehab immediately, rat
tat tat.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Now, the injury news impacted the gambling market. And as
you know, I have another show that I do, Benny
Versus the Penny, which is on YouTube every week global audience.
There Benny Versus the Penny Benny Vspenny on YouTube. So
we handicapped the games. It's something I've done for years.
I did it on the radio here for a long time.
We were on television before I got canceled after a
couple of seasons. So we're back on the YouTube now
(16:40):
and and look at the pointspreads and it's people are
freaking out because the point spread was impacted for the
week sixteen road game as Cansaw's city plays against the
Tennessee Titans. The line shifted by how many points? Do
you see this? Did it shift by two points?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Not two points? Three points? Is mahomes worth three?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
How about four? Four point no? Five?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Eight points? The line moved eight points? Yeah, all right,
So the question people are like, this is not right,
this is what's going on. So Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes,
based on the gambling odds, is worth eight points eight
points for Kansas City. The line shifted by eight points.
Is this an overreaction? A lot of people say, Oh,
(17:32):
it's an overreaction. So I'm shaking my head. No, I'm
shaking my head. No, this is not my first trip
to the circus. And this is not an overreaction. It
is the gambling market doing basic math, not malor math,
but basic math, and not panicking and all that. The
betting line did not faint on the sofa. It didn't
(17:56):
faint on the couch. It didn't do that. It adjusted
its glasses, did the necessary arithmeticket did the subtraction. So
Mahomes goes down. The spread is it's now on a diet.
The Chiefs on the look aheadline were eleven and a
half point favorites, which that seemed pretty absurd too. The
way they're playing, I don't care how bad we ask
(18:19):
cam Ward is eleven and a half is a big number.
So the line went from eleven and a half to
three and a half minus three and a half in
the Kansas City is favored in the game. That's an
eight point haircut. That's a big haircut. It's like going
to a buzz cut. And it's actually standard. It's standard
on the dinner menu. If you look at the dinner menu,
(18:41):
you'll see it on your menu right there. Mahomes, this
is going to blow you away. Is not the first
superstar quarterback to get hurt and have the gambling line adjust. Now,
he is a force multiplier and human cheat code and
all that, and he happens to be the Wi Fi
password to a he reads offense. All of that stuff
(19:02):
is true, and you take him out. The whole thing's
kind of buffering. It's not really working. And we love
Minshew Mania Gardner. Minshew is fine, a respectable substitute teacher
who will not just have the kids watch cartoons all day. However,
he's not exactly bending defenses like some kind of carnival spoon.
(19:23):
That is not happening. So the gaming market, this is
not hysteria. It's very measured. Elite quarterbacks. There's only a
handful at any time in the NFL, but elite quarterbacks
are worth typically anywhere from seven to nine points. The
wise guys that make the gaming line, the quarterbacks worth
seven to nine points sometimes more, especially when the drop
(19:47):
off is from a guy like Mahomes and then somebody
that's used to just walking around wearing jorts.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And so we've seen this movie before. In the last however,
many Tom Brady got hurt and the Patriots had to
go to the backup or Aaron Rodgers, who rarely got
hurt but did miss games in Green Bay and Peyton Manning.
And when they missed time, it was the same plot.
Popcorn was a little bit different, different popcorn. So listen,
(20:17):
the Chiefs are still favorites. They're favorite because of Andy
Reid and Steve Spagnola and the defense and they're the
adults in the room and all that, and fine, and
without Mahomes. Without Mahomes, the offense goes from a five
star chef serving up culinary magic and you're now going
to McDonald's and getting a reheated breakfast sandwich in a
(20:38):
microwave at McDonald's and that might hit the spot. That
might hit the spot. Get some hash Browns that might
hit the spot there. But it's not an overreaction. It's
the basic math, clean, cold, and undefeated. Remember the gambling people,
the people that make the line They're not really worried
about your feelings. They're worried about getting even money they
(20:58):
make their profit. They want to make sure they can
get people to bet on both sides. They feel like
this is the way to do it, and there's also
limiting liability. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

of the Ben Malers Show as complete without a mention

So Jerry Jones says the Cowboys will not be tanking
for a better NFL draft pick. Are you okay with this?
(00:20):
We'll discuss that. Also, do Steeler fans?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Mike Tomlin an apology? One of the Steelers players said
that the fans do. And Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes injury
has shifted the Chiefs Titans point spread by eight points
over a touchdown because one guy's not playing. Is this
an overreaction by the wise guys in Vegas. We'll take
(00:46):
a look at that and more. Right now here it is.

you're right, Charlie. Absolutely wait to go, Charlie. Every goal
starts with an assist on and off the field. That's
why Haleyon and US Soccer are launching for the Assist,

That's h A l e O N and I see
over there is that. The one and only Sir scratch
Off says, what about DraftKings, Well, this show is sponsored
by DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the
(02:56):
NFL and NBA. Right now, use the promo code Mallard.
It's my last name m a l l e R
to claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo
code Mallard m A l l e R at DraftKings
dot Crown is yours now our lead this hour from
deep in the heart of Texas. If you thought we
(03:19):
were gonna stop talking about the Cowboys because they suck,
you are a loser, all right now. The Cowboys turns
out that if you go to Jerry's world, you are
not going to see any tanks. What do I mean
by that? Well, if you have not heard, maybe not
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. He announced that, hey, we're not tanking.
(03:39):
We're not We're not going to try to suck these
last three games. We're not going to try to get
a draft pick, a higher draft pick.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, here's what Jerry had to say about the possibility
of getting a higher draft pick by losing. They all listen,
win is.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Very very important in the NFL, and a win is
important to me, and a win does a lot of
positive things. I don't care when it happens, and we've
got We owe it to that mirror, and we owe
it certainly to our fans that we want to walk
out there and be competitive. We will not try for
(04:16):
a draft position, we won't be looking at anything like that.
We'll be out there playing football and we'll bring them
to play. So that's a long winded way of saying,
we'll play football under whatever the circumstances are.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Okay, of course, at six seven and one, even when
the Cowboys are trying to win, they often lose. Cowboys
are currently the tenth seed in the NFC. The top
seven teams get in. According to the prop the news
service the NFL Media, the postseason chances for the Cowboys
are less than one percent, a less than one percent
chance to get to the PLAYFFS. That is a good
(04:53):
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question Jerry Jones
saying that the Cowboys will not tank. They're not gonna
intentionally lose here to get a better draft pick. Are
you okay with this? Because a bunch of Cowboy fans
are not happy about this. So I've got Devil's Playground,
summer camp and Wi Fi password, and we will combine
(05:13):
all of these things together and we're gonna have a
breakfast of Champions, Captain Crunch and fruit loops, and then
we'll have later on for lunch, we'll have the Gabba
Ghoul and the Baba Ganoosh is what we'll have for lunch.
All right. To lead off here, though, we're to kick
off because this is football. I'm good with it one
hundred per I like this. The Cowboys have ninety nine problems.
(05:36):
Tanking ain't one of them. And great tanking is the
fentanyl lean of the sports world.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It is.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It looks tempting for some and ultimately you end up
in your face and the gutter. Don't do it, and
the whole suck and draft suck now, draft later, that mindset,
that ogma, it's like a religion for some people that
love the draft and all that Devil's playground. It's the
(06:07):
devil's playground. It's fool's gold. The Cowboy fans and some
of these peoplere a crowd I can't believe Joey would
say that, why me weep? Come on about draft position?
The game's are meetingless. Just lose the game. You sound
like a bunch of Mama Lukes. You do whining and
having a temperate tangament, a hissy fit and all that.
(06:30):
It accomplishes nothing. The sucking draft model. If you look
at my ven diagram on the radio strader, not the
telestrader because that's TV, the radio strader. If you look
at the radio strader, it fails ninety nine point nine
percent of the time. Exhibit A. The New York Jets,
who have sucked for a generation. They have the longest
(06:51):
playoff drought in the NFL. They have had how many
top ten picks is it ten or eleven top ten
picks in this stretch and some of them been good.
It doesn't matter. They don't win because it's a loser franchise.
How about the Cleveland Rounds, the factory of sadness, the
Cleveland brown Trust, the process and it's such a suckers
game trading for draftings, like the Jets made a trade
(07:14):
with the Colts. They traded Sauce Gardener for a couple
of first round picks, and so the people that are
deep into it, the sucking draft mindset, Oh we got
extra draft picks until, of course the Jets draft a
turd and and a total stiff, and then you're like, oh,
I don't know what happened. It was draft picks were
so good. Trust the process. The process. It needs a
(07:38):
restraining order is what it needs. How about you some commentats?
You know now, Keevian might also when we talk about
common sense, I am not naive enough to do to understand
or to not realize that Jerry Jones, even if the
Cowboys were planning on tanking, even if that was the mindset,
you and I both know you cannot say that publicly.
(08:00):
Is is tabou, it's frowned upon, it's reboting. You can't
say that publicly. So you don't announced. I read this
online years ago. You don't announce your burning down your
business for insurance money. You don't do it publicly. Right,
you might do it, you shouldn't do it, but people
do it, and you don't do it. Announce it before
(08:21):
you do it. Plus the wild, the beast, the wild,
the beast in the room. Have you looked ahead to
the twenty twenty six NFL Draft. It's saucy. It's weak.
Sauce is what it is. Right, No generational stud quarterback,
not that the Cowboys necessarily need one because they have
mister mediocre that quarterback. No, there's no one player that
(08:44):
gets you all tingling. Now came why there have been
drafts where there is that player and they don't turn
out to be all that good, Like Trevor Lawrence. But
he had a big game against the Jets. Okay, great,
Still not that good anyway. So the top player, depending
on which mock draft you look at, is either Ohio
State linebacker Rvel Reese or Heisman Trophy winning I love
my Mamu Fernando Mendoz, who doesn't look like a game
(09:09):
changing NFL talent when you watch him play for the
Indiana Hoosiers. But there you go, so and none of that.
There's a hodgepodge of defensive tackles and edge rushers and
players like that offensive lineman. It just looks like a buffet.
But it's not a great buffet. But you're hungry and
you'll go there and you'll eat at the buffet. It
doesn't matter. You play to win the game. You play
(09:29):
to win the game. Anything else football malpractice. So I
hope Jerry's telling the truth. He rarely tells the truth.
If he is telling the truth, I'm right there, I
agree with him. Now to Pittsburg, PA we go. A
few weeks ago, fans were chanting fire toarmmet, fire tarmmet,
(09:51):
I do my own chance? So why not? That was
when the team was playing like crap at home? Well
we fast forward. Now the Steelers have calmed the waters.
They beat the bad Baltimore Ravens and then beat the
bad Miami Dolphins, and all of a sudden, the Pittsburgh
Ginsers are not so upset. The Steelers in position. They're
in the driver's seat to make the playoffs. They lead
(10:13):
the AFC North at eight wins. They need just one
more win against the Ravens to wrap things up. They
can lose the next two games and still still be okay. Anyway,
So Jalen Ramsey got to the dais Jalen Ramsey got there,
and he he believes that the fans, Oh, Mike Tomlin
an apology, say what he said? Quote me personally, is
(10:36):
Jalen Ramsey washed up? Defensive back? Jalen Ramsey, He said
me personally, I thought the chants were blank. Now I'd
say this word. Unfortunately, my bosses will not allow me.
It's the kind of word Lucky Tony would say. It's
a dirty word, he said. Jalen Ramsey, it's comical. He
said that it's comical in my mind. That's all I'll
(10:56):
say on that. So he implied that the fans owed
Tomlin an apology. So the question, do the black and yellow,
black and yellow, black and yellow Steeler fans, oh, Mike
Tomlin an apology. So I will answer this by saying, no,
that's a hard No, that's capital and then capital oh
(11:17):
as in no, no, no, no, no, no, no no,
it's the no song. No no, no, no, no no no,
it's the no song. Yeah, exactly. And and by the way,
Jalen Ramsey calling the chance comical, that's rich. Okay, that
is absolutely rich. Uh here's the deal. I don't know
if you notice, fan is short for fanatic. Oh my god,
(11:42):
these people who are And I've seen I've not been
to a steel game in Pittsburg. I've been at Pitsburg.
I've been no Steeler game, but I've seen I've been
at Steeler games. We do the show from La. I've
seen Steelers games here and it's a different breed, right
the Steeler fans. These are not casual observers, most of
the Steeler fan base. They are heavily invested, blood, sweat,
(12:03):
and Sunday afternoons, occasionally Monday nights and sometimes Thursday nights.
They pay with time. They pay with time, and that
is the most valuable thing that you have. That is
the most valuable thing that I have. Time. It's one
thing you can't buy more of. You don't know how
much you have, and you can't earn extra time. When
(12:25):
it's gone, it's gone, and that's it. It's gone forever,
and that earns you in the fan code of conduct.
On the Mathers Show, they're right to boo boo boo
boo boo, boo, boo boo, just boom, knock yourself out,
boom to your heart's content. You can scream, you can
(12:45):
shout call sports radio shows and act like a lunatic,
or go online and entertain the bots and all that. Now,
as Mike Tomlin says, and I love Tomlin as a
sound bye and he's okay coach, but I love him
as a sound by Mike Tomlin says, we want them
to be fat and sassy and spoiled. It's our job,
he said of the fans, fat, sassy and spoiled. Right now,
(13:06):
the fans are just fat and sassy. They're definitely not
being spoiled. And let's be clear, only anyone with a
half a brain would tell you that Tomlin is not
out of the woods yet. He's still in the danger zone.
Another playoff vanishing act by Mike Tomlin and the chance
the rhythmic chanting will return in the blink of an eye.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
We want them to be fat and sassy and spoiled.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's right, it is our job.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Well, you're not doing it now. The Tomlin marching in
Chadas society, they'll say, well, no losing seasons. Okay, lovely,
that's true. Hang the banner, no losing season, the fact
that the Steelers haven't won a playoff game since twenty sixteen.
I didn't even know how to drive in twenty sixteen. Yeah,
(13:52):
how long ago? That was twenty sixteen. That was for
the internet. I believe that was for the internet. No, okay,
that's all eight years. That's a long time. With Super
Bowl expectations pretty much every year even when they shouldn't
have had expectations like that. They're the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's
not acceptable. Tomlin's playoff record is eight and eleven. It's
(14:13):
even worse though, when you peel back the onion since
twenty eleven, if my malor math is correct, Tomlin has
three wins since twenty eleven. That's a decade plus of
early exits on most of the time. Wild Card weekend
where the Steelers say bye bye to the Plus you've
got former players like Ben Roethlisberger, who he did backpedal
(14:34):
the other day, but prior to that said Tomlin should leave.
James Harrison questioned how good a coach Mike Tomlin is?
So these are former players of Mike Tomlin and Tomlin's teams.
They didn't look bad against the Dolphins. That was more
about the cold weather, the Dolphins or the Steelers rather
than in recent years, they often come out sloppy against
(14:55):
the bad opponents. They're unprepared against weaker teams. They played
down to the level of their competition. It's not random,
it's a trend. You learn those things if you bet
a couple of bucks on the games, you remember those
kind of things. And Tomlin has always said the standard
is the standard. It's another tomlinism. The standard is the standard.
So you no, the fans don't owe an apology. It's
(15:18):
not summer camp. You know, you're not summer. It's the NFL.
And Pittsburgh has been good but not good enough. The
standard is the standard.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Last thing, Tevva las Vegas. Am I gonna talk about
the NBA Cup and the fact that Knickerbocker's won the
championship first time since the seventies. No, you can hear
that on the other fugates. You know, the shows will
talk about that, that Fugeesi thing. Not us though, but
Karl Anthony Towns boy Minnesota traded a champion. They're gonna
hang a banner. How funny is that gonna be? God,
(15:48):
that's so embarrassing And the NBA is so obtuse they
don't even realize, like this is so stupid. What are
we doing here? Anyway? Ah, They're gonna hang a banner
for that game twenty six.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
So Patrick Mahomes, we know he's out Snapcrackle Pop season
ending ACL surgery. There was some other stuff messed up
at his knee game. Against the Chargers. He had surgery
on Monday. They said it was a success because he
didn't die in the operating room. Okay, rehab immediately, rat
tat tat.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Now, the injury news impacted the gambling market. And as
you know, I have another show that I do, Benny
Versus the Penny, which is on YouTube every week global audience.
There Benny Versus the Penny Benny Vspenny on YouTube. So
we handicapped the games. It's something I've done for years.
I did it on the radio here for a long time.
We were on television before I got canceled after a
couple of seasons. So we're back on the YouTube now
(16:40):
and and look at the pointspreads and it's people are
freaking out because the point spread was impacted for the
week sixteen road game as Cansaw's city plays against the
Tennessee Titans. The line shifted by how many points? Do
you see this? Did it shift by two points?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Not two points? Three points? Is mahomes worth three?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
How about four? Four point no? Five?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Eight points? The line moved eight points? Yeah, all right,
So the question people are like, this is not right,
this is what's going on. So Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes,
based on the gambling odds, is worth eight points eight
points for Kansas City. The line shifted by eight points.
Is this an overreaction? A lot of people say, Oh,
(17:32):
it's an overreaction. So I'm shaking my head. No, I'm
shaking my head. No, this is not my first trip
to the circus. And this is not an overreaction. It
is the gambling market doing basic math, not malor math,
but basic math, and not panicking and all that. The
betting line did not faint on the sofa. It didn't
(17:56):
faint on the couch. It didn't do that. It adjusted
its glasses, did the necessary arithmeticket did the subtraction. So
Mahomes goes down. The spread is it's now on a diet.
The Chiefs on the look aheadline were eleven and a
half point favorites, which that seemed pretty absurd too. The
way they're playing, I don't care how bad we ask
(18:19):
cam Ward is eleven and a half is a big number.
So the line went from eleven and a half to
three and a half minus three and a half in
the Kansas City is favored in the game. That's an
eight point haircut. That's a big haircut. It's like going
to a buzz cut. And it's actually standard. It's standard
on the dinner menu. If you look at the dinner menu,
(18:41):
you'll see it on your menu right there. Mahomes, this
is going to blow you away. Is not the first
superstar quarterback to get hurt and have the gambling line adjust. Now,
he is a force multiplier and human cheat code and
all that, and he happens to be the Wi Fi
password to a he reads offense. All of that stuff
(19:02):
is true, and you take him out. The whole thing's
kind of buffering. It's not really working. And we love
Minshew Mania Gardner. Minshew is fine, a respectable substitute teacher
who will not just have the kids watch cartoons all day. However,
he's not exactly bending defenses like some kind of carnival spoon.
(19:23):
That is not happening. So the gaming market, this is
not hysteria. It's very measured. Elite quarterbacks. There's only a
handful at any time in the NFL, but elite quarterbacks
are worth typically anywhere from seven to nine points. The
wise guys that make the gaming line, the quarterbacks worth
seven to nine points sometimes more, especially when the drop
(19:47):
off is from a guy like Mahomes and then somebody
that's used to just walking around wearing jorts.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And so we've seen this movie before. In the last however,
many Tom Brady got hurt and the Patriots had to
go to the backup or Aaron Rodgers, who rarely got
hurt but did miss games in Green Bay and Peyton Manning.
And when they missed time, it was the same plot.
Popcorn was a little bit different, different popcorn. So listen,
(20:17):
the Chiefs are still favorites. They're favorite because of Andy
Reid and Steve Spagnola and the defense and they're the
adults in the room and all that, and fine, and
without Mahomes. Without Mahomes, the offense goes from a five
star chef serving up culinary magic and you're now going
to McDonald's and getting a reheated breakfast sandwich in a
(20:38):
microwave at McDonald's and that might hit the spot. That
might hit the spot. Get some hash Browns that might
hit the spot there. But it's not an overreaction. It's
the basic math, clean, cold, and undefeated. Remember the gambling people,
the people that make the line They're not really worried
about your feelings. They're worried about getting even money they
(20:58):
make their profit. They want to make sure they can
get people to bet on both sides. They feel like
this is the way to do it, and there's also
limiting liability. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

thirty one if he retires after the. Season he's got
a family of. Twelve it's, him his wife and ten.
