Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our number three, and we're going
to talk some college football here. That's right, college football.
There's a lot of chatter about the future of Lane Kiffin.
Will he stay at Ole miss or go to another
LSU or Florida like school in free agency and coaching
even though he's under contract. But there's a story out
(00:23):
that Arkansas is on the prowl for a former NFL
head coach. Would Arkansas actually take a shot at John Gruden?
We'll discuss that. Pro bouncy ball. What does this trend
of stars going a wall say about the modern NBA?
Historically terrible, the lack of playing by star players in
(00:46):
the NBA, it's at an all time high. So much
for the end of load management. And in the Major
League Baseball world. Why would Chota Imanaga stay with the Cubs?
They rejected him, he took the qualifying they didn't want
him around, and he's still staying. We'll talk about that
as well and more right now here, it is our
number three. They call him Sark the Shark. Welcome in
(01:14):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Awhere you cannot stop us. You can only try to
contain us as we shoot the crap literally hour after
hour and provide elegance in every bite and every sports
take coast, the coast, border, the border, and beyond on
(01:42):
the vast and glaringly powerful microphones of FSR emmnating live
from the side, the ring side for the chatter from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where legends like
Craig Sheman worked back in the day. In this portion
(02:03):
of the Ben Malers Show on Fox, made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
The King Rory, the one and only knows.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That tire Rack has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com,
the way that tire buying show be all right, we
(02:34):
are back at it here hanging out and our lead
this hour from the coaching carousel. The coaching carousel goes
round and round and round and round and round, the
coaching carousel.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So Austin Texas we go, Austin, Texas, where the longhorns
have kicked themselves out. They're not going to make the
college football Playoff. Tim and the Losses mediocre team got
beat up by Georgia last time I watched him play,
So Texas coach Steve Sarkesy in the Old USC Coach
Sarkesian was asked about well, everyone even asked about it. I
(03:06):
think he brought this up on his own. But the
issue the coaching carousel. There's not enough name brand coaches
for the schools that want name brand coaches, and so
supply and demand, supply and demand. We all learned about that,
and there's a supply chain shortage, and so the schools
are fighting for coaches that have issues, the moles and
(03:29):
the wards, but they have a name, and so Steve
Starkesian has a name as the Texas coach. And he
pushed back against claims that he is looking to leave
the program.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I don't know if you heard this or not. Maybe not,
maybe not. I guess the editing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Department didn't hear about it either, But sarks said that
he is quote not going anywhere. He said Sarkisian, addressing
the stories that are bouncing around the echo chamber here
about his departure. One and one report said he was
going to the Tennessee Titans. Another report said that he
(04:05):
was going to be going to a different college. Jeff,
we do have our here's rather than me give you
the whole quote, here's some Steve Sarkisian commenting in his
fifth year as the Longhorns coaches, sarked on his situation,
I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I've had no discussions, not with my agent, not with
the university, not with any other school, not with any
NFL team about ever going anywhere else.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I came here to win championships.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So moving forward, when some Joe Blow decides to put
something on social media out there, we all don't run
with it like it's the gospel. Can we all agree
on that? And if you have a question about my
future with the University of Texas, ask me, ask Christell Connie.
He'll be more than happy to take your call so
that we can sect the record street so we can
(04:51):
focus on our football team, which is really what we
should be doing.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
We recorded that on a radio shack recorder from eighteen
eighty two.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
It's the latest technology.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But Sarkisian said, as you heard there, he normally doesn't
address these reports and all that stuff. So I love
when he's coaches often said I don't talk about this stuff.
And then he just said, if anyone has in questions,
ask me. But then when you ask them normally, they said,
I'm not going to talk about that. All right, that's
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
for the esteem panel, which you are a part of.
(05:24):
How much stalk do we put into? Texas coach Steve
sarkisian saying he's not going anywhere, all right, So my
views on this, I've got cups and balls, ticket Master,
Think Tank, cups and balls, ticket Master and think Tank,
and we'll put all of these things together and we'll
(05:47):
put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So first of all, the amount of stock that I
put in is squad douche. Okay, bupkus, bupkus. This is
a penny stock. It is a waste of oxygen. It
is all of that. Sarks stood up there and delivered
an extended state of the.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Union of denial.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And we've had no discussions, he said at one point,
We've had no discussions. As you said, I've had no discussions. Yes,
you've had no discussions. Steve Sarkisian. You you did not
talk to anyone.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You did not Now you're agent.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
On the other hand, well, yeah, it's not my first rodeo.
I've been doing this for a while and normally what
happens is you have a representative, the middleman, and they
are the ones that are burning up the text line,
the phone calls. That's always the loop de loop, the loophole.
(06:52):
Always the loop de loop, the loophole, and that's the
escape patch. I remember I had for a year. I
had this is god just back many years but I
had a TV job and I had an agent, a
very powerful agency in Hollywood. And the agent told me,
he said, we went out to lunch at some very
expensive restaurant and he's like, yeah, so I do all
(07:15):
the work and you just you don't you say play stupid.
He's like, he gave me the whole lay of the
land and all that stuff. That's the same agent that famously,
when I was in Stanford, Connecticut and my TV gig
was wrapping up, and I contacted the agent because I
had to get another gig, and.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He never returned my calls, never returned my calls.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
That was fun.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I still he never called me back. Never.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I never heard what happened anyway, But the words are
plausible deniability.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It's straight out of the Nick.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Sabin Lanekiffin school of coaching duplicity. And this is the
timeless playbook. I remember being here at Fox Sports Radio
when a guy named Nick Saban was coaching the Miami
Dolphins and was doing an absolutely horrific job. Was completely
overwhelmed by the NFL. Could not handle it could handle
the junior varsity of college, but could not handle the
(08:08):
varsity of the NFL, and just completely in overhead. And
there were all kinds of rumors that Nick Saban was
going to run off to the college football.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Again, and there were all kinds.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Of stories about his wife going to Alabama and looking
at places. So Saban looked right in the eye of
Miami Dolphins beat reporters and said, I Am not going
to be the Alabama coach.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
A couple of weeks later, Roll.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Todd, how about Lane kivin Lane Kiffin when he was
at Tennessee's I'm locked in, you know paraphrasma, I'm locked
in And then he skid daddled off to the University
of Southern California. The people of Knoxville, led by Danny
and Nashville who came over there. They were burning sulfis.
(08:56):
They were so upset they took out the West Virginia
move started burning furniture. They were so upset with Lane Kiff,
and there were guys running around with torches.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
They were so upset, and.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Lane's like, oh, I'm locked in at Tennessee. And then
of course the door left swinging. Coaches lie. They're like politicians,
right to your face. They will do whatever it takes
in that moment. No hesitation, no hesitation at all. We
all know that it's not personal, it's business. That's why
I find it amusing that we pay attention to what
(09:26):
these idiots say, but they don't. They're all con men, right.
They do it because they want to keep recruits calm.
They want to keep boosters. Most importantly these days, it's
about boosters, right. You want to keep the boosters happy,
keep the negotiations open and all that stuff. You deny
the rumors publicly, all right, You deny the rumors publicly,
and your agent works the back channels privately.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's in magic.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It's called the cup and balls trick, right, cup and
ball Stree coaches don't speak from the heart.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
They speak from.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Leverage is what they speak from now under the mouth
or microscope, under the Mallard microscope sark statement proves nothing
except that something's up, methinks, dos coach protests a bit
too much, all right. Secondly, to Cansa City, we go
(10:17):
home of the Ben Mallard chicken fingers and some new
comments made by the first man in the Taylor Swift
Universe question. Travis Kelsey says that he would take this
year's Kansas City Chiefs the twenty twenty five vintage of
the Chiefs over last year's Chiefs. The team that won
the AFC that got to the Super Bowl and got
(10:40):
their doors wrung, just knocked off the hinges there by
the Eagles in the Super Bowl. So how do you
read this one?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
All right? How do you read this one?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So on this one, I've got eyebrows raised, all right,
My eyebrows are raised little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
This is pigskin etiquette on one.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
If you look at the pigskin Etiquette book, Pigskin Etiquette.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
One oh one, it's rule number one.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, there we go, all right, every season, every season,
whether you're a star player or a coach. Every season
you must say that your current team, your current team
is the best one. Now, the best one we know
means as good as all the rest. But it doesn't
matter if you're fifteen and two one year and then
(11:30):
the next year you go five and five to start
the year. You sell it like it's Taylor Swift tickets
on ticket Master. You don't analyze, you promote. It isn't
football talk. It's motivational. Mumbo jumbo dude.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Like that word mumbo jump, and he uses that word.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
More mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo dumboalaya, all that stuff. So anyway,
the point is you convince the locker room. Okay, you
convince the locker room that this roster is special. Even
if the record screams average. Its optimism as performance art
is what it is. And to be fair, statistically, Travis
(12:13):
Kelsey's got just enough amo to.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Make it sound legit.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Because if you do the Pepsi challenge, the blind side
by side comparison, the twenty twenty five Chiefs are seventh
in offense. The Chiefs of last year were nineteenth in offense.
The twenty twenty five Chiefs are seventh in total defense.
Last year they were good. They were tenth in total defense.
So yeah, on a tablet, if you get out your tablet,
(12:41):
the twenty twenty five Chiefs are not a disaster, all right,
they're not regardless. Football games, amazingly, are not decided by
the stats on Pro Football Reference dot com. Are you
get judged on the mother of all stats?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You know what the mother of all stats is? Do
you know?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Oh, this is something that Jim Rome used to say
back in the day. Score bart Uh. Yeah, the twenty
twenty four Chiefs after ten games.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You know what, the record was nine and one, nine
and one.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The twenty twenty five Chiefs polar opposites five and five
after ten games. So, Kansas City, they do have statistically
a better offense and a better defense, and yet they
have a worse record.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's like saying, hey, I went on ozempic.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I hit the gym every day, and I'm in the
best shape of my life. And oh, by the way,
I gained twelve pounds. But you were on a drug
that you lose weight on and you went to the
gym every day. What were you doing watching TV at
the gym, eating bond bonds? And you gained twelve pounds. Congratulations,
(13:48):
thumbs up, way to go, good job by you. All Right,
So the twenty twenty five Chiefs statistically again might be better,
but twenty twenty four was better. And one of those
teams dangerous the other one. It just feels like there's
something just a little off. They're losing close games they
always won those. They're not making the game changing plays that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They made in the past. Now there's still time to
change the narrative.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They're the one with the pen in their hands, and
they are the one that can rewrite the story.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
They're in the writer's room. They can do the jokes
better and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And if they win out, if some butts were candy
and nuts, you'd win the Super Bowl every year. So
it's not over. It's just not looking particularly good. Right,
And so we're at a fork in the road where
if you look at Kansas City, say, Okay, what's gonna
happen next? Is this thing gonna work out? Are they
gonna figure things out? Or you know, how's this gonna go?
And it's they hit a bump here, Broncos got them
(14:44):
on a lad drive. The Chiefs normally win that game.
That's just noing something goes their way, they win that game.
Obviously here they did not. They got the Colts coming
up on Sunday. They're a slight favorite in that game,
but you look after that in Dallas they suck. The
Texans have no real offense, really good defense. The Chargers
(15:07):
is a fifty to fifty game. Tennessee's a show up
and win game. They play the Broncos again and then
the Raiders. So there are some winnable games there that
there's really no margin for error for Kansas City. All right,
final thought, we pivot away from the NFL and college football.
We go to pro bouncy ball.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Why are you going to pro bouncey ball? Do what
pro bouncy ball? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Listen to me, all right, just put up with it.
Even Blake and Arkansas can put up with it. So
the Cleveland Cavaliers as a franchise were fined one.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Hundred thousand dollars. One hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The reason they were fined one hundred thousand dollars because
they skirted the load management rules. They held Donovan Mitchell,
Donovan Spider Mitchell, and Evan Mobley, a couple of their
star players out of a game against the Miami Heat
last week.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
They weren't hurt, mind you, They weren't sick. They were
just in need of rest, delicate little flowers. They needed
their rest. They needed their rest.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I think I'm gonna call my boss up today and
I say, you know, I just I need a load
management day.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I just, you know, just can I get that?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Sure? Why not? Are you sick? No, I'm not sick. Yeah,
I just want to load management day. Anyway, get to
the point, please, So the coach.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You probably don't know who this is. Kenny Atkinson is
the guy's name. And he was asked about this, and
he was defiant.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
He has no.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Plans whatsoever of changing his strategy. He said, quote can
I be Frank? Well, when you say that, I don't
think he was talking about the late great Frank Pollack,
my old engineer.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I love Frank.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
May he rest in peace, the big cod piece in
the sky, he said, Can I be Frank? No, Atkinson
said when asked if he agreed with or accepted the
NBA's punishment, he said, quote, que I gotta look out
for the calves best interest clothes.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Quote all right, question, what did you think.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Of the Calves coach Kenny Atkinson and his defiance on
load management.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So he's like the guy I saw the clip and
I saw the quote.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So Kenny Atkinson's kind of like the guy on probation,
like Jed who fled, kind of guy who goes in
front of the judge and he says, yeah, yeah, whatever,
and he tells the judge, I got plans.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I got to get out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm gonna go down to the liquor store across from
the courthouse. I'm gonna go across the street and I'm
gonna go to the liquor store. I'm gonna buy some
fireball and I'm gonna drink it, and then I'm gonna
go ninety five miles an hour on my way home.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
That's my plan.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Okay, So tell me you're a dope without actually telling
me you're a dope. His rationale, Kenny Atkinson, the coach
in Cleveland, is I gotta look out for the Calves
best in.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Okay, just kind of let that marinate.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
In your mind a little bit, like, hey, buddy about
it that aboudy the best interest is not treating Donovid
Mitchell and Evan Mobley like their porcelain dolls right out
of a Tiffany box. Okay, Rest, here's the great thing.
Rest has not stopped a single hamstring pull in the NBA.
(18:25):
It is voodoo science, is what it is. They have
turned mister Softy into a lifestyle brand.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Holy Spacoli.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
They have Mister Softy, the iconic Mister Softy truck. They've
moved it into a lifestyle brand. In that business, fans
pay to see stars. That's the business model. That's how
they have operated. Now if they're gonna change the business model,
that's fine. They're not selling the stars. They're not selling
the team. Miss selling stories, meaning like when the Lakers
(18:57):
play the Warriors, they're selling Lebron and Luca versus Steph
Curry and Jimmy Butler. That's what they're selling. People tune in.
TV networks paid big money for the stars. Everyone wants
the stars. They don't want the backups, they don't want
the stand ins, they don't want them. Now on Broadway,
(19:19):
if the headliner doesn't appear, they offer a refund. This
whole load management plague.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I know I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Repeating myself, but for those that missed previous episodes of
the show, you're literally killing the golden goose. And I'll
just use me as an example and how I relate
to this. I grew up loving basketball. I loved watching
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I did. In fact, I spent about fifteen years of
my life. Every night, for.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Five months, six months a year, I would be at
NBA games. I covered the Clippers and Lakers on a
regular basis. I was there, I was doing my thing,
earning my stripes in the radio business.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
For a long time.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I was there every night, and I loved it and
told stories of my podcast about some of the great
characters I came across to, like Bill Fitch, this old
coach who taught me a little bit how the NBA works.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I just have so many great memories of that.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I loved it, and even after I stopped going every
night to these games, I still watched. I always watched.
I cannot tell you how much I despise the product.
Right now, during the regular season, I just cannot.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
I have it on.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I have it on for content reasons. It's just such
a terrible product. It's like that Italian restaurant where you
love the fettichini alfredo and used to go there for
the fetichini alfredo, and they kept serving your grit fetichini alfredo.
And then one time you went there, they put cockroaches
and you said, I don't like cockroaches. They said, okay,
we'll take the cockroaches out. So they took the cockroaches out,
and they put maggots in there. You said, I don't
like maggots. Why'd you put maggots in there. Okay, we'll
(20:42):
take the maggots out. The next time you come back,
they put they put actual rats in there, so I
don't want rats. It's something every single time. And here's
the kicker, the NBA. They're killing the golden goose. This
load management play killing the golden goose. The NBA is
in bed. They are a gambling operation. They're in bed
with the major gambling company. Every gambling company under the
sun has a partnership with the NBA. And they want action.
(21:05):
They need certainty. The people that bet need certainty. They
need to know availability. And the thing about it, back
in the day, in the eighties and the nineties, coaches
had figured it out.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The Stars didn't play forty minutes every game.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Back then, they would do half days. You're on school
sometimes you get a half day and you get to
leave early.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's the middle ground.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
The Stars would play twenty five minutes. Fans got to
see the Stars for twenty five minutes instead of forty,
and that was that. Instead, you think about where we
have come in sports. We have mystery injuries, phantom soreness,
we have recovery days. This is with all of the
(21:50):
top things, flying, first class police escorts, private trainers, massage therapists.
You've got your soux chef, You've got your or your baker,
you've got your shrinks for your sports medicine. And since
all of this has come into the NBA, you'd think
the players would be able to play more than ever.
(22:12):
But no, So I've got a solution. We've activated the
Malar Think Tank. Spent a lot of money on this,
the Malar Think Tank. So the solution. If you have
a problem, you have to come up with solutions. The
solution from an infomercial money back guarantee. Money back guarantee.
Now you can say full refund if.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You don't go to the game.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
If you go to the game and the Star players
don't play, fifty percent off tickets, fifty percent off tickets.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
If the Stars don't play.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You also have to give fans a twenty four hour
notice in advance, or you get a full refund.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Everyone gets a full refund.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And I will guarant effing te you if the NBA
put a money back guarantee in.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
These players would play. They would play.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
And why should a family pay a premium to watch
Wemby get hemorrhoids on the bench. In fact, that's a
great example. The NBC game the other night was Memphis
and San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
They flexed it. They flexed it to show Wemby, who
was not playing in that.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Game, and out and the arena in San Antonio there
were hundreds and hundreds of empty seats. I turned the
game on. I was laughing. I was texting my buddies.
I said, NBC put this game on to showcase this
San Antonio Spurs, and even the people of San Antonio don't.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Want to watch the team play.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It was so funny because it's such a bad product,
and it says you hype the fireworks. People pay to
see fireworks and you deliver smoke bombs. That's not fireworks.
Kenny Atkinson just lobbed a Molotov cocktail right into the
own the business that he's doing, and the NBA, for
the most part, just shrugs and until Adam Silver grows
(23:52):
a pair of you know what, the circus rolls on.
Get a backbone, Go to whatever planet you came from,
get a back bone. You got empty seats, you got
angry gamblers, you got stars with ice packs.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
On their on their feelings, and so think list and
the caves.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Are guilty of basketball malpractice, and the beat goes on.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
The beat goes on.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It is the Ben Mahlor Show, which also goes on,
And if you'd.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Like to be part, you can join us right now at.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven
seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. Also on
the X Machine at Ben Maller later this hour. We
have asked Ben time now though for the Mallor Riddle
of the day, No cheating. Here's the Mallard Riddle of
the day. You can answer this on X at Ben Mahller.
(24:42):
So Lamar Jackson snapped at Marlon Humphrey, his teammate, for
blank on the Ravens team plane. Multi time NFL MVP.
Lamar Jackson snapped at Marlon Humphrey for blank on the
Ravens team plane. That is the malor riddle of the day.
The answer, We'll get to it, and we will.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Do it next.

White Sox is they were the first team in professional
sports to come up with the skybox, which became the
luxury Box.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
They were the first team ever to do it. Oh
what's that, Lorena?
Speaker 8 (32:23):

just like six yards get the ball down the field
better hard to do when you're that short.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
It's nothing like the mail bag on the Fifth Hour podcast.
There it is, ask man, thank you all right,
Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our number three, and we're going
to talk some college football here. That's right, college football.
There's a lot of chatter about the future of Lane Kiffin.
Will he stay at Ole miss or go to another
LSU or Florida like school in free agency and coaching
even though he's under contract. But there's a story out
(00:23):
that Arkansas is on the prowl for a former NFL
head coach. Would Arkansas actually take a shot at John Gruden?
We'll discuss that. Pro bouncy ball. What does this trend
of stars going a wall say about the modern NBA?
Historically terrible, the lack of playing by star players in
(00:46):
the NBA, it's at an all time high. So much
for the end of load management. And in the Major
League Baseball world. Why would Chota Imanaga stay with the Cubs?
They rejected him, he took the qualifying they didn't want
him around, and he's still staying. We'll talk about that
as well and more right now here, it is our
number three. They call him Sark the Shark. Welcome in
(01:14):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Awhere you cannot stop us. You can only try to
contain us as we shoot the crap literally hour after
hour and provide elegance in every bite and every sports
take coast, the coast, border, the border, and beyond on
(01:42):
the vast and glaringly powerful microphones of FSR emmnating live
from the side, the ring side for the chatter from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where legends like
Craig Sheman worked back in the day. In this portion
(02:03):
of the Ben Malers Show on Fox, made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
The King Rory, the one and only knows.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That tire Rack has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com,
the way that tire buying show be all right, we
(02:34):
are back at it here hanging out and our lead
this hour from the coaching carousel. The coaching carousel goes
round and round and round and round and round, the
coaching carousel.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So Austin Texas we go, Austin, Texas, where the longhorns
have kicked themselves out. They're not going to make the
college football Playoff. Tim and the Losses mediocre team got
beat up by Georgia last time I watched him play,
So Texas coach Steve Sarkesy in the Old USC Coach
Sarkesian was asked about well, everyone even asked about it. I
(03:06):
think he brought this up on his own. But the
issue the coaching carousel. There's not enough name brand coaches
for the schools that want name brand coaches, and so
supply and demand, supply and demand. We all learned about that,
and there's a supply chain shortage, and so the schools
are fighting for coaches that have issues, the moles and
(03:29):
the wards, but they have a name, and so Steve
Starkesian has a name as the Texas coach. And he
pushed back against claims that he is looking to leave
the program.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I don't know if you heard this or not. Maybe not,
maybe not. I guess the editing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Department didn't hear about it either, But sarks said that
he is quote not going anywhere. He said Sarkisian, addressing
the stories that are bouncing around the echo chamber here
about his departure. One and one report said he was
going to the Tennessee Titans. Another report said that he
(04:05):
was going to be going to a different college. Jeff,
we do have our here's rather than me give you
the whole quote, here's some Steve Sarkisian commenting in his
fifth year as the Longhorns coaches, sarked on his situation,
I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I've had no discussions, not with my agent, not with
the university, not with any other school, not with any
NFL team about ever going anywhere else.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I came here to win championships.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So moving forward, when some Joe Blow decides to put
something on social media out there, we all don't run
with it like it's the gospel. Can we all agree
on that? And if you have a question about my
future with the University of Texas, ask me, ask Christell Connie.
He'll be more than happy to take your call so
that we can sect the record street so we can
(04:51):
focus on our football team, which is really what we
should be doing.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
We recorded that on a radio shack recorder from eighteen
eighty two.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
It's the latest technology.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But Sarkisian said, as you heard there, he normally doesn't
address these reports and all that stuff. So I love
when he's coaches often said I don't talk about this stuff.
And then he just said, if anyone has in questions,
ask me. But then when you ask them normally, they said,
I'm not going to talk about that. All right, that's
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
for the esteem panel, which you are a part of.
(05:24):
How much stalk do we put into? Texas coach Steve
sarkisian saying he's not going anywhere, all right, So my
views on this, I've got cups and balls, ticket Master,
Think Tank, cups and balls, ticket Master and think Tank,
and we'll put all of these things together and we'll
(05:47):
put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So first of all, the amount of stock that I
put in is squad douche. Okay, bupkus, bupkus. This is
a penny stock. It is a waste of oxygen. It
is all of that. Sarks stood up there and delivered
an extended state of the.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Union of denial.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And we've had no discussions, he said at one point,
We've had no discussions. As you said, I've had no discussions. Yes,
you've had no discussions. Steve Sarkisian. You you did not
talk to anyone.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You did not Now you're agent.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
On the other hand, well, yeah, it's not my first rodeo.
I've been doing this for a while and normally what
happens is you have a representative, the middleman, and they
are the ones that are burning up the text line,
the phone calls. That's always the loop de loop, the loophole.
(06:52):
Always the loop de loop, the loophole, and that's the
escape patch. I remember I had for a year. I
had this is god just back many years but I
had a TV job and I had an agent, a
very powerful agency in Hollywood. And the agent told me,
he said, we went out to lunch at some very
expensive restaurant and he's like, yeah, so I do all
(07:15):
the work and you just you don't you say play stupid.
He's like, he gave me the whole lay of the
land and all that stuff. That's the same agent that famously,
when I was in Stanford, Connecticut and my TV gig
was wrapping up, and I contacted the agent because I
had to get another gig, and.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He never returned my calls, never returned my calls.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
That was fun.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I still he never called me back. Never.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I never heard what happened anyway, But the words are
plausible deniability.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It's straight out of the Nick.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Sabin Lanekiffin school of coaching duplicity. And this is the
timeless playbook. I remember being here at Fox Sports Radio
when a guy named Nick Saban was coaching the Miami
Dolphins and was doing an absolutely horrific job. Was completely
overwhelmed by the NFL. Could not handle it could handle
the junior varsity of college, but could not handle the
(08:08):
varsity of the NFL, and just completely in overhead. And
there were all kinds of rumors that Nick Saban was
going to run off to the college football.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Again, and there were all kinds.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Of stories about his wife going to Alabama and looking
at places. So Saban looked right in the eye of
Miami Dolphins beat reporters and said, I Am not going
to be the Alabama coach.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
A couple of weeks later, Roll.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Todd, how about Lane kivin Lane Kiffin when he was
at Tennessee's I'm locked in, you know paraphrasma, I'm locked
in And then he skid daddled off to the University
of Southern California. The people of Knoxville, led by Danny
and Nashville who came over there. They were burning sulfis.
(08:56):
They were so upset they took out the West Virginia
move started burning furniture. They were so upset with Lane Kiff,
and there were guys running around with torches.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
They were so upset, and.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Lane's like, oh, I'm locked in at Tennessee. And then
of course the door left swinging. Coaches lie. They're like politicians,
right to your face. They will do whatever it takes
in that moment. No hesitation, no hesitation at all. We
all know that it's not personal, it's business. That's why
I find it amusing that we pay attention to what
(09:26):
these idiots say, but they don't. They're all con men, right.
They do it because they want to keep recruits calm.
They want to keep boosters. Most importantly these days, it's
about boosters, right. You want to keep the boosters happy,
keep the negotiations open and all that stuff. You deny
the rumors publicly, all right, You deny the rumors publicly,
and your agent works the back channels privately.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's in magic.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It's called the cup and balls trick, right, cup and
ball Stree coaches don't speak from the heart.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
They speak from.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Leverage is what they speak from now under the mouth
or microscope, under the Mallard microscope sark statement proves nothing
except that something's up, methinks, dos coach protests a bit
too much, all right. Secondly, to Cansa City, we go
(10:17):
home of the Ben Mallard chicken fingers and some new
comments made by the first man in the Taylor Swift
Universe question. Travis Kelsey says that he would take this
year's Kansas City Chiefs the twenty twenty five vintage of
the Chiefs over last year's Chiefs. The team that won
the AFC that got to the Super Bowl and got
(10:40):
their doors wrung, just knocked off the hinges there by
the Eagles in the Super Bowl. So how do you
read this one?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
All right? How do you read this one?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So on this one, I've got eyebrows raised, all right,
My eyebrows are raised little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
This is pigskin etiquette on one.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
If you look at the pigskin Etiquette book, Pigskin Etiquette.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
One oh one, it's rule number one.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, there we go, all right, every season, every season,
whether you're a star player or a coach. Every season
you must say that your current team, your current team
is the best one. Now, the best one we know
means as good as all the rest. But it doesn't
matter if you're fifteen and two one year and then
(11:30):
the next year you go five and five to start
the year. You sell it like it's Taylor Swift tickets
on ticket Master. You don't analyze, you promote. It isn't
football talk. It's motivational. Mumbo jumbo dude.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Like that word mumbo jump, and he uses that word.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
More mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo dumboalaya, all that stuff. So anyway,
the point is you convince the locker room. Okay, you
convince the locker room that this roster is special. Even
if the record screams average. Its optimism as performance art
is what it is. And to be fair, statistically, Travis
(12:13):
Kelsey's got just enough amo to.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Make it sound legit.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Because if you do the Pepsi challenge, the blind side
by side comparison, the twenty twenty five Chiefs are seventh
in offense. The Chiefs of last year were nineteenth in offense.
The twenty twenty five Chiefs are seventh in total defense.
Last year they were good. They were tenth in total defense.
So yeah, on a tablet, if you get out your tablet,
(12:41):
the twenty twenty five Chiefs are not a disaster, all right,
they're not regardless. Football games, amazingly, are not decided by
the stats on Pro Football Reference dot com. Are you
get judged on the mother of all stats?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You know what the mother of all stats is? Do
you know?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Oh, this is something that Jim Rome used to say
back in the day. Score bart Uh. Yeah, the twenty
twenty four Chiefs after ten games.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You know what, the record was nine and one, nine
and one.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The twenty twenty five Chiefs polar opposites five and five
after ten games. So, Kansas City, they do have statistically
a better offense and a better defense, and yet they
have a worse record.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's like saying, hey, I went on ozempic.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I hit the gym every day, and I'm in the
best shape of my life. And oh, by the way,
I gained twelve pounds. But you were on a drug
that you lose weight on and you went to the
gym every day. What were you doing watching TV at
the gym, eating bond bonds? And you gained twelve pounds. Congratulations,
(13:48):
thumbs up, way to go, good job by you. All Right,
So the twenty twenty five Chiefs statistically again might be better,
but twenty twenty four was better. And one of those
teams dangerous the other one. It just feels like there's
something just a little off. They're losing close games they
always won those. They're not making the game changing plays that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They made in the past. Now there's still time to
change the narrative.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They're the one with the pen in their hands, and
they are the one that can rewrite the story.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
They're in the writer's room. They can do the jokes
better and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And if they win out, if some butts were candy
and nuts, you'd win the Super Bowl every year. So
it's not over. It's just not looking particularly good. Right,
And so we're at a fork in the road where
if you look at Kansas City, say, Okay, what's gonna
happen next? Is this thing gonna work out? Are they
gonna figure things out? Or you know, how's this gonna go?
And it's they hit a bump here, Broncos got them
(14:44):
on a lad drive. The Chiefs normally win that game.
That's just noing something goes their way, they win that game.
Obviously here they did not. They got the Colts coming
up on Sunday. They're a slight favorite in that game,
but you look after that in Dallas they suck. The
Texans have no real offense, really good defense. The Chargers
(15:07):
is a fifty to fifty game. Tennessee's a show up
and win game. They play the Broncos again and then
the Raiders. So there are some winnable games there that
there's really no margin for error for Kansas City. All right,
final thought, we pivot away from the NFL and college football.
We go to pro bouncy ball.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Why are you going to pro bouncey ball? Do what
pro bouncy ball? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Listen to me, all right, just put up with it.
Even Blake and Arkansas can put up with it. So
the Cleveland Cavaliers as a franchise were fined one.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Hundred thousand dollars. One hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The reason they were fined one hundred thousand dollars because
they skirted the load management rules. They held Donovan Mitchell,
Donovan Spider Mitchell, and Evan Mobley, a couple of their
star players out of a game against the Miami Heat
last week.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
They weren't hurt, mind you, They weren't sick. They were
just in need of rest, delicate little flowers. They needed
their rest. They needed their rest.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I think I'm gonna call my boss up today and
I say, you know, I just I need a load
management day.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I just, you know, just can I get that?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Sure? Why not? Are you sick? No, I'm not sick. Yeah,
I just want to load management day. Anyway, get to
the point, please, So the coach.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You probably don't know who this is. Kenny Atkinson is
the guy's name. And he was asked about this, and
he was defiant.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
He has no.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Plans whatsoever of changing his strategy. He said, quote can
I be Frank? Well, when you say that, I don't
think he was talking about the late great Frank Pollack,
my old engineer.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I love Frank.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
May he rest in peace, the big cod piece in
the sky, he said, Can I be Frank? No, Atkinson
said when asked if he agreed with or accepted the
NBA's punishment, he said, quote, que I gotta look out
for the calves best interest clothes.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Quote all right, question, what did you think.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Of the Calves coach Kenny Atkinson and his defiance on
load management.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So he's like the guy I saw the clip and
I saw the quote.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So Kenny Atkinson's kind of like the guy on probation,
like Jed who fled, kind of guy who goes in
front of the judge and he says, yeah, yeah, whatever,
and he tells the judge, I got plans.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I got to get out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm gonna go down to the liquor store across from
the courthouse. I'm gonna go across the street and I'm
gonna go to the liquor store. I'm gonna buy some
fireball and I'm gonna drink it, and then I'm gonna
go ninety five miles an hour on my way home.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
That's my plan.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Okay, So tell me you're a dope without actually telling
me you're a dope. His rationale, Kenny Atkinson, the coach
in Cleveland, is I gotta look out for the Calves
best in.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Okay, just kind of let that marinate.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
In your mind a little bit, like, hey, buddy about
it that aboudy the best interest is not treating Donovid
Mitchell and Evan Mobley like their porcelain dolls right out
of a Tiffany box. Okay, Rest, here's the great thing.
Rest has not stopped a single hamstring pull in the NBA.
(18:25):
It is voodoo science, is what it is. They have
turned mister Softy into a lifestyle brand.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Holy Spacoli.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
They have Mister Softy, the iconic Mister Softy truck. They've
moved it into a lifestyle brand. In that business, fans
pay to see stars. That's the business model. That's how
they have operated. Now if they're gonna change the business model,
that's fine. They're not selling the stars. They're not selling
the team. Miss selling stories, meaning like when the Lakers
(18:57):
play the Warriors, they're selling Lebron and Luca versus Steph
Curry and Jimmy Butler. That's what they're selling. People tune in.
TV networks paid big money for the stars. Everyone wants
the stars. They don't want the backups, they don't want
the stand ins, they don't want them. Now on Broadway,
(19:19):
if the headliner doesn't appear, they offer a refund. This
whole load management plague.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I know I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Repeating myself, but for those that missed previous episodes of
the show, you're literally killing the golden goose. And I'll
just use me as an example and how I relate
to this. I grew up loving basketball. I loved watching
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I did. In fact, I spent about fifteen years of
my life. Every night, for.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Five months, six months a year, I would be at
NBA games. I covered the Clippers and Lakers on a
regular basis. I was there, I was doing my thing,
earning my stripes in the radio business.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
For a long time.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I was there every night, and I loved it and
told stories of my podcast about some of the great
characters I came across to, like Bill Fitch, this old
coach who taught me a little bit how the NBA works.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I just have so many great memories of that.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I loved it, and even after I stopped going every
night to these games, I still watched. I always watched.
I cannot tell you how much I despise the product.
Right now, during the regular season, I just cannot.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
I have it on.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I have it on for content reasons. It's just such
a terrible product. It's like that Italian restaurant where you
love the fettichini alfredo and used to go there for
the fetichini alfredo, and they kept serving your grit fetichini alfredo.
And then one time you went there, they put cockroaches
and you said, I don't like cockroaches. They said, okay,
we'll take the cockroaches out. So they took the cockroaches out,
and they put maggots in there. You said, I don't
like maggots. Why'd you put maggots in there. Okay, we'll
(20:42):
take the maggots out. The next time you come back,
they put they put actual rats in there, so I
don't want rats. It's something every single time. And here's
the kicker, the NBA. They're killing the golden goose. This
load management play killing the golden goose. The NBA is
in bed. They are a gambling operation. They're in bed
with the major gambling company. Every gambling company under the
sun has a partnership with the NBA. And they want action.
(21:05):
They need certainty. The people that bet need certainty. They
need to know availability. And the thing about it, back
in the day, in the eighties and the nineties, coaches
had figured it out.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The Stars didn't play forty minutes every game.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Back then, they would do half days. You're on school
sometimes you get a half day and you get to
leave early.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's the middle ground.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
The Stars would play twenty five minutes. Fans got to
see the Stars for twenty five minutes instead of forty,
and that was that. Instead, you think about where we
have come in sports. We have mystery injuries, phantom soreness,
we have recovery days. This is with all of the
(21:50):
top things, flying, first class police escorts, private trainers, massage therapists.
You've got your soux chef, You've got your or your baker,
you've got your shrinks for your sports medicine. And since
all of this has come into the NBA, you'd think
the players would be able to play more than ever.
(22:12):
But no, So I've got a solution. We've activated the
Malar Think Tank. Spent a lot of money on this,
the Malar Think Tank. So the solution. If you have
a problem, you have to come up with solutions. The
solution from an infomercial money back guarantee. Money back guarantee.
Now you can say full refund if.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You don't go to the game.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
If you go to the game and the Star players
don't play, fifty percent off tickets, fifty percent off tickets.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
If the Stars don't play.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You also have to give fans a twenty four hour
notice in advance, or you get a full refund.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Everyone gets a full refund.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And I will guarant effing te you if the NBA
put a money back guarantee in.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
These players would play. They would play.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
And why should a family pay a premium to watch
Wemby get hemorrhoids on the bench. In fact, that's a
great example. The NBC game the other night was Memphis
and San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
They flexed it. They flexed it to show Wemby, who
was not playing in that.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Game, and out and the arena in San Antonio there
were hundreds and hundreds of empty seats. I turned the
game on. I was laughing. I was texting my buddies.
I said, NBC put this game on to showcase this
San Antonio Spurs, and even the people of San Antonio don't.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Want to watch the team play.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It was so funny because it's such a bad product,
and it says you hype the fireworks. People pay to
see fireworks and you deliver smoke bombs. That's not fireworks.
Kenny Atkinson just lobbed a Molotov cocktail right into the
own the business that he's doing, and the NBA, for
the most part, just shrugs and until Adam Silver grows
(23:52):
a pair of you know what, the circus rolls on.
Get a backbone, Go to whatever planet you came from,
get a back bone. You got empty seats, you got
angry gamblers, you got stars with ice packs.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
On their on their feelings, and so think list and
the caves.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Are guilty of basketball malpractice, and the beat goes on.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
The beat goes on.
