It's our number four. Our number four is ready to
go to the Miami Hurricanes. They lost the championship game.
Their coach, Mario Christobal is said to be a.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Candidate for the Steelers job.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Is this a power play power play or a pump
and dump situation for the coach at the You can
you unravel? Also what the Dolphins new GM's comments mean

Speaker 3 (00:36):
AFC Championship Game. All of that and more. Have a
wonderful Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We'll have fresh pods every single day on the Fifth
Hour podcast this weekend and the mail Bag on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
But here is our number four.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Shopping for Steele welmeme in not being of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air,
a re where partners in crime, as we say off
to the system, we go coast the coast, border to

(01:16):
border and beyond on the bast and ear poppingly powerful
microphones of FSR amminnating live from the Hole bunkerd in
the Foxhole lobbing our hot takes from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Chet in San Diego,

(01:39):
who reminds us that this hour is made possible by
our friends at tire Raq.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
For over forty years, Tyrak has.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free, which makes
Nick the Windy's Guy happy back by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti
iraq dot com. The way tire buying should be an
Uncle Mo who's in Jersey, says.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Can you tell me about that? Is it the dude wipes? Yeah,
I'll tell you about that. Why not? Yeah? Have you
ever wiped with a piece of that dry toilet paper.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
And wondered, my god, what have we done? Something must
improve here? Well, there is something that is, in my opinion,
much better than that. I most would agree switch to
the Life Change Wet extra large flushable Dude Wipes.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's right, because Wetter just cleans better.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Available at Amazon and at major retailers nationwide. Dude Wipes
best clean pants down. As we continue on here on
the Ben Malor Show, and we begin this hour Championship
Sunday approaching.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
As we are just a couple days away from that and.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Our lead from Pittsburgh, where the Steelers will not be playing.
A new name, new name has emerged for the Insers
as they look to replace the iconic Mike Tomlin Holy
Spaccoli Batman.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
So if you've not heard the latest on this, and
maybe not, we're hearing.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Rumbling, the rumble in your tummy. These Steelers are said
to be quote very interested in Miami coach Mario Christibaal.
That's the University of Miami coach Mario Cristaball. You might
remember he got a lot of TV time because the
Hurricanes went on a magic carpet ride that crashed out

(03:34):
with them not.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Winning the championship.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Now, longtime talking head and regular sports talk radio contributor
Brian Baldinger says that he hears the Steelers are said
to be quote very interested again, very interested in Mario Christibaal,
the coach at the University of Miami. Baldinger then saying
the praises of crystal ball, saying that he would translate
really well to the NFL game because he is an.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Old ski school coach.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
All right, that is a good place to pause and
jump off that train of thought and continue with this
as we discuss. So the question Miami Hurricanes coach Mario
Cristobal is said to be a candidate for the Steelers
head coaching job. Is this a power play or a
pump and dump situation? So my take, I got poker,

(04:27):
boombox and the hostess with the mostess, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to have a smorgasborg of the blooming onion.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
We'll have that. I haven't had that in a while.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
All right, Now, to lead off here this one, Mario
crystaball to the Steers. It feels like a magic show.
Abra cadabra, hocus pocus presto. Now, everyone I've ever come
across in my time in the media business who's coached
college football wants to coach in the NFL more so
now than ever. It's like going from the junior varsity

(05:06):
to the varsity. You'd much rather be in the varsity.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
It is.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
The landscape in college football is a hot mess.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
The Steelers are the ultimate NFL job for long term employment.
It's a set it and forget it infomercial franchise. You
hire the right coach, you get out of the way,
you keep the coach for ten fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's it. Now. The you.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Where Mario Chris Ball has been a couple of times,
he's bounced around.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Most coaches do, and they are right near the top.
Miami and college Football's wild wild West, the lawless wild
wild West. It's a poop fest.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
If Pittsburgh truly wants you.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
You don't walk, you sprint and you sign the DOCU sign.
That's just the way.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
And looking at this like the great magicians, they're old now,
but Penn and Teller, they don't really do magic.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
They expose trickery. And this trick ninety five percent old
fashioned pumping dump. That's my theory. It is a rigged
poker game with a mark deck.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's watch the distraction and you miss the slide of hand.
The way it works, that makes so the agent will
call a buddy in the media and say, hey, uh,
I got something for it, And.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Of course the useful idiots like, okay, whatever you tell.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Me, I'm gonna I'm gonna say so they float the
rumor and suddenly whatever university work for, they go to
petty cash and they're like, we got to give this
guy big grayce. We just do we have to give
this guy big grace. Now, in this case, christ of
Baul would look like he turned down the NFL when
the NFL, in theory, really didn't want to date him.

(06:57):
Because yet, if this was real, I'm skeptical. If this
was real, Crystal Ball would have already been Okay.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Let's work out the contract.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm out there's really no debate because you'd much rather
coach the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Than you would rather coach at Miami.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I know he's from South Florida and all that, but
until proven wrong, I file this story as Mario Cristaball
the you coach football coach going to the Steelers as
smoke mirrors, and then he gets a little more money
and another year or two tacked on to his contract.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Now, furthermore, we moved down fully to South Florida.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
The pro football team there, they had a Galla pep rally.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
These news conferences are pep rallies.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
New Dolphins GM John Eric Sullivan, that's a that's a mouthful,
John Eric Sullivan. Now he has plans, big plans for
the quarterback position moving forward.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
However, he's not gonna tell you. He's not gonna tell you.
He claimed, there's too much work.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
To do on It's just gotta be backbreaking considering the
Dolphins playing football games until September, the draft isn't until
late April. This is really difficult, man, is this? This
is hard stuff? This is this is really difficult stuff here.
So yeah, too much work to do, too much work
before the decision is made now.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Sullivan did casually compliment to.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
A tongue of iy loa during his introductory PEP rally
with head coach Jeff Haffley as well, also acknowledging that
the position was something they had to figure out, something
they have to figure out. So question, can you unravel
what the Dolphins new GM's comments mean.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
For the future of to a tongue of by lower time?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
About this guy, John Eric Sullivan, the new GM of
the Dolphins, So what.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Does it mean? So think of this like.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Storage Wars, the TV show's been on for a while
and off and on and on. So the new Dolphins
gen him is looking at Tua like a locker filled
with a bunch of old furniture that smells like as
the quarterback of the Titans would say, cam Ward ass

(09:13):
and broken dreams, and he's just waiting for the trash
people that come. He's waiting for their version of Danny
DeVito to come pick that thing up. It's over the boombox,
and what a great boombox it is there in Miami.
They've got that turned on and it's Ray Charles belting out.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Hit the road, Jack and don't you don't you ever
come back? No more, no more, no more, No, don't
come back. Don't come back.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
This has been an open secret. We all know it
since Miami ownership signed off on admitting they screwed up
when they gave their quarterback two hundred and twelve million
dollars and benched him for a seventh round pick Quen yours.
In December, the divorce papers are already signed. Tua even

(09:58):
said that a friend start would be dope. That's not
a rope of dope, it just dope. And don't give
me the cap hell sob story.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
I get so annoyed.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's just I got to bang my head against the
wall when I oh the cap.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
They can't do anything. They're in cap hell. Ninety nine
million dollars dead, cap hit. That's a math problem. You
know what that is. That's a math problem for the bean.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Counters and the idea that you can't get this stuff done.
The Denver Broncos, I'm pretty sure, are still swallowing the
Russell Wilson poison pill, and they are going to take
the field on Sunday in the AFC title game, and
they're still working through the salary cap ramifications of picking

(10:48):
the wrong horse.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
In the race. And so yeah, and the owner, this
is a cat ross.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
The guy that owns the Dolphins, he can ride a
giant check and make it all work. You just have
to find a young quarterback that's not making a ton
of money, and that's all you have to do.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
And it works out.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
The math works, and the tua era is as solid
as a building being built on quicksand it's good luck,
and you'll go to the highest bidder. And the Dolphins
have options the rework the contract. You can finagle some
numbers around and make it work and trade him for
someone else's bad contract.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Kyler Murray comes to mind. I wouldn't want him at all.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
The Cardinals will likely get rid of him because he sucks.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
And there's some other possibilities. C J.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Stroud really safe. He's not very good in big games.
The guys plays like a cowardly lion in big games.
And then you can also just punish to if you're
the Dolphins and send him to like Siberia, which I
think in Pro football is the Jets or Cleveland, I believe.
All right, now, last thing to New England we go,
and in the lead up to the AFC title game,

(11:57):
the Broncos and Patriots are.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Exchanging jabs barbs.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
We had wide receiver Kayshawn Booty who responded to Sean
Payn I don't if we have this or not. It's
all over the place, but knowing our editing staff, probably
not so. Kayshawn Booty responded to Sean Payton and the
recent comments Peyton made.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
About the Broncos are gonna win.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
He also gave advice to the Denver fans, saying that
there's plenty of rest, plenty of rest two weeks in fact,
obviously implying that they will have a chance to rest
their voices because after Sunday, the next time the Broncos
play will be in Northern California against the Rams of
the Seahawks and Super Bowl sixty. So Peyton was obviously

(12:44):
alluding to Denver winning. You need to tell you that,
and that would give the Bronco fans time.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
To gargle salt water.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Drink tea and whatnot and save their vocal cords like
they're doing one hour, one man show for four hours
a night on the radio. Anyway, Peyton's quote was brought
up to Kashawn Booty, and this of course led to
Booty giving the money quote.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
He brought it.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
You know, they asked, this is always how it plays.
It's like the elementary school game. Football beat writers and
all sports beat writers. Did you hear what somebody said
about you? Oh my god, what's your reaction? So Booty
said he ain't seen it. He meant of the Sean
Payton comments. Then he gave the mic drop. He said
they can rest in Cancun too, And then he said,

(13:37):
at the end of the day, it is what it is.
So he tossed in some cliches at the end of
the day, and it is what it is, which are
pretty much the same thing. Those are filler terms right
end of the day, and it is what it is,
which is an.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Updated version of whatever used to be.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Whatever he said, whatever that just a meaningless you suck
now you say it is what it is.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
It is what it is, so breakfast.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Reporting, says Denver coach Sean Payton's comments are not sitting
well with the New England football team and the tensions
are being ratcheted up. Question, give me your frame by
frame breakdown on the war of words between the Patriots
and the Broncos. So the thing that's more interesting than

(14:19):
me is on the path side of this. It's a
quantum leap. For at least twenty years, at least twenty years,
Patriots played a lot of big games and what you
got out of Foxborough was a silent monastery run by
the Sith Board, right, and he would bench your ass,

(14:40):
would bench your ass if you even thought about doing
what Kayshon Booty is doing. Now you got Mike Rabel,
he's the new sheriff in town. He walked in there
and he clearly ripped off the ballgag And Kayshan Boody
is throwing jabs and haymakers and body blow, body blow.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
I love it it. It's a revolution in New England.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Now, if Booty tried this under Bill Belichick, the drill Sergeant,
Bill would have gone full tyrannical despot and had him
disappear into a special teams role in Manitoba by Sundown.
But Booty, this guy not a great player. He is

(15:22):
the hostess with the mostest. He's serving up those zingers,
deep fried raspberry cream filled insults from him. And I'd
like to quote the great Shaquillo, oneo one of the
great thinkers of our time. I owe you an apology,
Kase Shawn. I was not familiar with your game in
terms of your mouth, your.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Quote machine, and the whole Sean Payton thing. He always
comes across as smug, cocky.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Those are qualities that Sean Payton embraces. That's his calling card.
As long as he wins, it doesn't matter. He's trying
to convince a that the Broncos will win the game
outright with Jared Stidham, which would be one of the
biggest upsets in Championship history, although the Broncos are at home.

(16:11):
It's the ultimate fake it till you make it heist,
and all of this is background noise the War of words.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
We've seen much better trash talk. With the War of Words.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
It's just like getting some perfume at Dollar General and
then going to the barn behind.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
The house and spraying the pigs with the perfume. So,
whoever wins the.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
AFC title game, I will promise you as a distant
relative of Nostradamus and I used to be a friend
with nostro Denis.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
I don't know that we're friends right now until after.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
The game on Sunday we can resume our friendship. Whoever
wins the AFC title game will claim they were motivated.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
By trash talk. It was the secret spice nobody believed
in us. Now for the.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Loser, it'll be forgotten faster than that. At New Year's
resolution to go to the gym every day is forgotten.
And that'll be that and and that. That's how that
story is going to go. That's how that story always goes.
I saw bo Nicks this week say we we've overcome
so much adversity this year. I was like, Okay, every
single team, every player that's interviewed, says the same thing.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
And I will guarante you I don't know for sure
who's gonna win.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
I got Benny versus the Penny. You can check it
out who I think is going to win. It's on
YouTube at Benny Vspenny. I give my picks, and I
told you why. I like the teams I like in
the games, the mythology, but just the way I approach
handicapping in the game.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
So I told you what I thought was going to happen.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
And fine, however, I will I will one tell you
whoever is the star of the game in the AFC
and NFC will be interviewed and will say we overcame
so many obstacles.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Oh my god, Oh there was so much adversity. Yeah,
and spoiler alert. That's everything in life. Nothing goes as planned. Right,
that's the thing, right. Nothing is equal, No one's equal,
and nothing goes as planned.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
You say, well, we're gonna start the year with fifty
some odd NFL players, and then a bunch of them
are gonna get hurt. A few of them will not
live up to expectations, some of them will overwhelm you
with great play. And then at the end you get
the calculator out and it's around some decimal points and
you see what you got.
