Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go into the turkey hole. We go our

up and loaded. It's intoxicating. We hope you can check
that out on YouTube. Benny Vspenny, do us a solid,
help us out, get away from those in laws, get

(00:21):
away from the family that you're annoyed with, and just

hour number four the original Recipe podcast, how much weight
does Nick Saban's endorsement of Brian Dayball for the Penn
State job carry lsu is officially dumped Brian Kelly paying
him the full fifty four million buyout.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
How do you assess this one? And we'll go to
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Did the reporter cross the line by asking Shader Sanders
of the Browns coach was sabotaging him this season? We'll
go there as.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well, and all of that. Have a great day today, enjoy.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
The day, and here it is our number four. Just
in the nick of time, welcome in the beginning of another.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
We are in the air everywhere, razoring along as We
are a little spongy and provide a lot, a lot
of tasty takes. We just do coast coast, border to
order and beyond on the vast and outspokenly powerful microphones

(01:30):
of fs are emmnating live from the Pumpkin the Pumpkin
Pie and the audio sky from the world famous Fox
Sports Radio studios. As we hang out together and Kathy
in Madison says, hey, what about that tire rack?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, Kathy, you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers like
Robbie the Mariner fan and just Josh and Justin and
Cincinnati find the right tires for.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
How, what and where they drive in Delaware.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Loves the fact that they ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation. That's tire rack dot Com the way
tire buying should be, as approved by mister nice Guy.
Mister nice Guy approves that message. So our lead this

(02:21):
hour from the Retread Coaching Department, the Retread Coaching Department,
and we go to Happy Valley, Happy Valley, where Penn
State is looking for a head coach. Now, if you're
a college football coach and you're looking to get a job.
That would be what's known as a plum job. That's

(02:43):
a plum job, pays pretty well. It's a big stage,
a lot of fans, right, big deal. Well, former NFL
head coach has been given a ringing endorsement for the gig.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Do you see this?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Now? You hear about it? Maybe not? I know Inkota
didn't see it, but he might have heard about it, Inkotera.
So Brian day Ball, who was just whacked as coach
of the Giants. Remember the paparazzo had the photos of him.
He was walking out, He had a Penn State hoodie
on to take out the trash and is he.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Trying to send a message.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Possibly, so he's got an ace up his sleeve, according
to Nick Saban, Nick Saban, the former Alabama coach, did
a paid appearance on the Pat McAfee podcast or YouTube show,
whatever that is, and Nick Saban was waxing loquacious about

(03:43):
Brian day Ball.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Take a listen, let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh I love Brian.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
He did a great job here for us offensive coordinator.
We won the championship with him calling the plays. You know,
he's been in the Super Bowl several times with Belichick
and one and you know, I think it was in
a tough set to at the Giants. But I do
think that he's a very good coach. He's a bright guy,
he's a good recruiter. Berlate's one of the players. He's
a good teacher, he's got a good offensive mind. He'll

(04:09):
be able to put a good staff together. I think
that would be an outstanding higher.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Okay, so I think he did not miss a spot
on that one. That's a good jumping off point. Let
us discuss the question. Here's the question, all right.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
How much.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Weight does Nick Saban giving an endorsement for Brian Dayball
for the Penn State job care? How much weight does
that care? So on this one, I've got judge Judy,
publisher's clearing house, and scented candles, and we'll combine all
of these things together, and we're gonna make a big
pile of gobbagool and then we're gonna have a side

(04:46):
of babagoosh and we're gonna finish the meal with a
slice of pecan pie. We're gonna get a little slice
of compie. So to lead off here, on the surface,
you would say.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
This is kind of a big deal. Is kind of
a big deal.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Nick Saban is college football's version of the Pope of Pigskin.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
The not the Vatican Pope.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
This the other prople. So the Pope of Pigskin and
his word at the Tabernacle is the Gospel. However, plot twist,
plot twist, Nick Saban, compromise, compromise.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
If this were Judge.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Judy, she'd slam the gabble down, right, She slam the
gabble down and declares Saban a biased witness. That's right,
the witness is Kin or friend or both. Ryan da
Ball is a Nick Saban disciple. He's a man that
was made in part by Nick Saban and also Bill Belichick,

(05:50):
who's also part of the Nick Saban click. And so
he was part of the Alabama coaching syndicate as Saban
referenced there. So this is a recommendation or is it
a favor for the family, because Brian Daboll's a made
man as far as the resume, and Nick Saban said

(06:12):
what a great coach Brian day Ball is. Unfortunately, people
actually watched the Giants and they did watch Brian day Ball,
who didn't appear to know what he was doing, and
we would not sprint to the ATM to lay down
a ten year contract with Brian day Ball at all.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
He looked at his time with the Giants.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
He was promoted as this offensive guru, this genius and
all that. And with the Giants he had Sequon Barkley,
who was a flopperou with Brian day Ball and then
left town and put a division rival on his back.
Fly Eagles, Fly on the road to victory. Eagles won

(06:54):
the Super Bowl, carried Philadelphia to the Lombardi Trophy. You
got Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones is starting to go the
wrong direction. However, the Colts are sitting right there at
the top with the Patriots and the American Football Conference,
and the guy could not do anything with Daniel Jones

(07:15):
and Brian day Ball. Just it was horrific. And now
he's over in India. As we said, he's faster than
a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able
to leap tall buildings in a single bound. And we'll
see if that continues. But the way it is now now,
the day Ball glow from the Josh Allen Buffalo Bills
has faded like a comet. Fading down, you know, it

(07:38):
just has and so that's that's the issue. This is
college is different. So Saban's endorsement. This is one of
the things I thought about with my wife about she
loves these Yelp reviews. We got to we're trying to
find a restaurant. We're in some town we're not normally in.
We're like, let's go find a restaurant. I don't know
what's good, all right, let's go to Yelp. So she
always goes YEP, and I was like, I like, not

(07:58):
necessarily just Yelp, but all those webs I think are
manipulated in one way or another. And it's like you
learn a lot of what's gone on in terms of
like political commentaries done from bot farms in Moldova or
you know, somewhere in Ghana. It's just it's just wild
and and so a lot of it's just boke. Like

(08:20):
the whole point is you look at the the Yelp stuff, right,
You look at the Yelp stuff, and it's like, okay,
so let's let's break this down scientifically. It's like, is
that legitimate or is that review from one of the
relatives of.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
The people it's nice, but we we know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like buyer beware and Brian Dave All's got to get
another coaching job, whether it's Penn State or not. I
just wouldn't be all gung ho for it. This might
be more of a family discount than a football genius
type thing. All right, Now, furthermore, battal rouge we go.
We're former LSU head coach Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly received
a formal letter from the school informing him that the

(09:03):
university was terminating his contract without cause. This has been
an ongoing.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Drama or rama. So the question on this one.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
The question on this one, LSU officially dumping Brian Kelly,
which means they will be paying him the full monty
fifty four million Holy buy you, batman, fifty four million
dollar buyout. How do you assess this new development in

(09:34):
the Brian Kelly story. So, Brian Kelly just became using malomath,
the richest state employee in the history of Louisiana. Congratulations,
And LSU tried, they tried, They did their due diligence.
They stepped into the batter's box and they attempted to
blockade stonewall Brian Kelly. They tried and swing back a

(10:00):
swing batter whiff wiff not wolf woof oh, they could
go wolf wolf. They hunted for every legal loophole they
could find, every single one, every escape patch that's out there,
contacted a bunch of different lawyers, every wormhole in the
time space continuum to avoid paying Brian Kelly. The fine print, though,

(10:23):
said termination situation without cause, without cause, and that is
the magic phrase without cause. That means you get fifty
four million dollars. Congratulations. That is a big pile of money, money, money, money.

(10:44):
They wanted an off ramp. They said, okay, let's try
to find an off ramp. They did find an off ramp.
It turned out to be a dead end street. And
so now LSU is writing one of those oversized cartoon checks,
just like they used to do back in the day,
the Publisher's Clearinghouse oversized cartoon check. I know that alflow
those and Kelly's buyout is guarantee, guarantee as long as

(11:05):
he follows the duty to to to mitigate cause clause,
which means it's legal bull crap. The translation means Brian
Kelly must at least pretend like he's looking for a job.
He has to give the allusion that he's trying to
find a job. So he has to make a good faith,
reasonable and sustained effort to obtain qualified employment. So he'll

(11:29):
make a few phone calls. He'll have his attorney make
a few phone calls, his agent, take a few lunches,
toss out a resume on express pros and chur ching chchring,
churchring fifty four million direct deposit on a monthly payout
schedule to not coach LSU. Welcome to college football in

(11:51):
the modern world, where you get generational wealth for being
bad at your job. For failing at your job, you
get generational wealth. You don't win the SEC, that's fine.
We're gonna give you enough money to buy your own SEC.
You can buy your own Southeastern Conference. The swamp swallowed
its coach both at Florida and LSU and spat out

(12:13):
a multime millionaire. And Brian Kelly just earned the best
season of his life by getting fired. Congratulations on that
ninety nine from Baton Rouge.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
All right, now, last thing, we head over to Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Why well, conspiracy theorists say that Brown's coach, Kevin Stefanski
was supposedly sabotaging Shoodh Sanders the first nine weeks of
the NFL season mentioned this in passing. I bring it
up now because a Brown's Beat reporter asked Shuodar Sanders
point blank what he thinks of this theory that'ss been

(12:52):
very popular on social media that that's going on. So
the reporter went up. The Brown's reporter went up to Shoodter.
Saders said, hey, Shouldter, not from you, but all your
supporters out there say that Kevin Stefanski was sabotaging you.
And so Sanders responded by saying, so you want me
to you just want to start trouble, huh. And then

(13:14):
the reporter said, well, no, I just just want to answer,
and he said overall shoulder. Sanders said, overall, I'm.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Just happy to be here, just happy to be coach.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Stefanski has been coaching since I got here, and he's
been doing a very great job with everything that's going on. Okay,
So the should Sanders apologist on social media and the
message boards and all that, they are demanding that the
Beat reporter, who's probably making seventy thousand dollars a year,
if he's lucky lose his credentials because he was just

(13:48):
looking for clickbait. Click at ey click click. All right,
So question for you, did the reporter did the reporter
in Cleveland cross the line by asking Sugar Sanders if
the Browns coach was sabotaging him this season? So on
this one, I would say, pump the brakes on the

(14:10):
outrage mobile. The reporter did not commit a felony last
I checked. This is not high crimes and misdemeanors. He
just asked a spicy question. He did. He tossed out
a spicy question, a little chili and guess what. That's
kind of the gig. That's kind of the gig. That's
the job description it should be. I know you're used

(14:32):
to your dot com beat writer as we call him, right,
the people that work for the Sunshine websites that blows
smoke up your ass about these teams. And remember years ago,
I've talked about this before, but I talked to somebody
at Major League Baseball when they started the team websites
and they were all under the MLB umbrella, and the
guy told me said, someday, Ben, you won't need the

(14:53):
major newspapers. To get your sports news. Someday you'll just
get it from the teams. And I said, well, no,
you will want that. Why would they Why would they
want that propaganda? He says, you just wait, and he
just laid it all out how people would be brainwashed
over the generations and indoctrinated. And the guy was a genius.
I got to tell you. I mean, it's it has

(15:14):
happened in my lifetime because when I was and I
started out in the media business, you expected the media
to be critical of you know, I'm talking about sports.
I'm not talking about politics anybody. I'm just talking about sports.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
You expected them to hold people accountable and criticize port performance.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
And and you know, God be my witness that the
guy that told me the story about MLB's website and
what their plan was, they have indoctrinated younger generations. They
expect to get everything with whipped cream. Uh. They'd like
like a La mode as well, and they're getting it's wild, uh.
And so it shouldn't be a pillow fight with scented candles,

(15:50):
but it has become that. And it's supposed to be
poke the bear and see if the bear growls a
little bit. Instead, don't just light a nice candle. We'd
like an nice candle, Okay? Was that a loaded question
to shred her sander? Yeah, absolutely, it was a loaded question.
The reporter walked into the news conference carrying a stick
of dynamite, wearing a smile, is what he did? Did

(16:13):
he cross the line?

Speaker 4 (16:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (16:14):
No, he didn't cross the line. He danced near it,
a little tiptoe on the line. He never stepped over
the line. I looked at the replay and should her
handle it like a grown up? Good for him? He
was calm, he was composed. He knew that that was
a loaded question. And the headline still writes itself, and
it's a loaded question because no matter what you say,
it's a store. And those are the questions you actually

(16:36):
want if you're in the media business, because you're looking
for the.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Store, right, You're not looking to do boring.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
You're looking for the story. Because anyway, answer if Shaudur says, yeah,
oh my god, Stefanski hates my guts, that's a great story.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
That's a national story.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
That's a national story. That's a huge deal. He quarterback
of the Cleveland Brown says, the head coach hates his guns.
If he doesn't answer the question, if he says no comment,
well that also is a story because then you can
make your own story. Because he refused to answer, so
therefore Shoudur Sanders must be hiding something, so we'll go
with that.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
And then he did answer the question.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
He gave a very calm composed answer, but the headline
is still there. Shadur Sanders denies coaching sabotage in Cleveland
developing hot dot dot Dot endorses head coach Kevin Stefanski
likely bullcrap, but he did boom engagement secured. Now, I
would like to address the Mama Lukes in the back

(17:39):
of the room yelling clickbait. Oh my god, clickbait on
social media. Stop the pearl clutching and clickbait a is
not a crime. I do laugh when people think of
that as a pejorative, that it's an insult to someone
in media like I get that a lot. Well, the

(18:01):
two things I get to dismiss what I do is, well,
you're on overnight. That's why you're on overnight. People not
understanding that we do very well on the podcast and
that we are broadcast live overnight. We have many many people,
we do great numbers on our podcast during the day
that these are people that I work overnight. So that's
the first thing.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
The second thing.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
That we get a lot, it's the old one to
two punch right, the right and then then the left. Well,
you're just doing clickbait and that's a negative. And I say,
I am absolutely doing that and that is not a negative.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
You're telling me I'm doing my.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Job right When you say you're just doing that for clickbait,
I say, absolutely, that's the job. Dubby. Tell me you
don't understand how this all works without telling me. You
don't understand that, you're uneducated, you're moron. I get it.
You know. You don't have to announce that to the world.
But that's the economy that I'm in. That's my business.

(18:59):
That's my fuel here. And if you're in the media,
that's how it works. It's the the in the air everywhere.
That's how these platforms bree that's the oxygen for these platforms.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
You get paid on views.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I get paid on downloads and clicks and engagement.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's how all of this works.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
So if you want to take my media class media
one oh one, I'll tell you. So if you hate clickbait.
You hate money, Okay, you just do. Congratulations, you've chosen poverty.
I choose money. And the idea that the reporter you know,
didn't cross the line here. He found the content vein

(19:42):
and he tapped it, kind of like a maple tree
in Vermont. Beautiful maple tree there and Vermont. And we're
all in on the engagement farming. Some of us just
pretend like we're we've got the high road, the moral
high ground and all that stuff, and really the business
model in pay for clicks and pay for downloads and

(20:03):
things like that, that's the business that we're in. So again,
I do think it's great when people just don't understand.
They're not that educated, they're dumb, and they think it's
some kind of a negative thing when it's absolutely not.

East German, Wasn't that The line of the East German
judge was Yeah. They also fussed around with the clock

if we want that content, you know. I think I
think we're good. All right, Well, thank you, Poppy. There
is a great Poppy in San Diego. They're amazing, all right.
So friends of the family and pump the brakes. Now,
a quarterback in the NFL was given an endorsement by
the President of the United States. Now, that seems like

(34:31):
kind of a big deal. That seems like a big deal, uh,
President Donald Trump? On whatever social media platform he's on,
which is not one I'm on anyway, he gave a
presidential endorsement of Brown's quarterback Shader Sanders said Shoulders Sanders
was great, he wrote on the social media said wins
the first game careers start as a pro for Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Great jeans. I told you so in all caps.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Okay. I should also point out the President did not comment.
I believe after the aforementioned Shueterer Sanders went out and
wrote the vomit comment in his first appearance with the
Browns against the Baltimore Ravens when he came into that game.
So the President gave the endorsement Shreder Sanders responded he

(35:21):
was asked about President Trump posting about him and the
Browns quarterback said that he was appreciative of the President's gesture.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
He's always been a supporter of me.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
He said, that's Shredhe Sanders. Of course, it's not about
Shodter Sanders. From what I've heard is President Trump and
Dion Sanders are buddies, and they go back to when Dion.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Was prime time.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
He played for the Yankees, and Trump was a big
Yankee guy back in the in the eighties and Dion
Sanders played with the Yankees in the eighties and the
early nineties. I think it was more early nineties, and
I'm sure they were hanging out together places in Manhattan
and all that. And Trump's made you know, people other
people hate him, but the people had loved him back

(36:06):
in the day. Many of them are friends, or at
least the private friends, still with President Trump. So Darryl Strawberry,
guys like that, Dwight Gooden, players that were stars in
the nineteen eighties and the nineties are still tight with
the president. So that's what that's about. And also at
the same time, John Gruden, the former NFL coach, now

(36:28):
he's a barstool bro. John Gruden did not did not
get all giddy with Shooter Standers. He said, you kind
of pumped the brakes on Shudera Sanders. He said that
he threw a bubble screen for seventy yard touchdown. Seventy
yard touchdown, So like, what are you doing. That's calm
down a little bit. That's from the John Gruden. We've

(36:51):
got fact or fiction? Is it a fact or is
it fiction? You want to be one of our judges

and so he did the most Aaron Rodgers thing you

his wrist, and just a complete nutjob thing. But that's
Aaron Rodgers. Story Number two eight Bulgarian football team released
an apology after they did a minutes long moment of

(40:34):
